you bet. jenna: still to come... if you've heard about the new recommendations for mammograms... but are a little confused... we talk to abc's senior doctor, coming up next. jenna: new recommendations toughest on spending? fox news did the analysis and jeb bush had the best record. billions in pork, vetoed. eight budgets, balanced. and tax cuts every single year. right to rise usa

who has the plan for jobs? jeb. tax cuts for the middle class. eliminates special loopholes. an explosion in growth and new jobs. jeb: cut taxes. grow america. right to rise usa is responsible for the content of this message. society this week are again raising questions about the best age for women to start breast cancer screenings. the new guidelines the test five years later than

the group's earlier recommendation. jenna: i talked to abc senior medical editor dr. richard besser to get his take on the news. dr. richard besser says, "there are at least four different groups that put out recommendations on mammography. the obgyn's the radiologists, the government tast force and the american cancer society. and this is the first set up updated recommendations from the am. cancer society in 12 years. they used to recommend that all women start getting annual mammograms at age 40 and now they're saying you should wait. that you should start with an annual mammogram at age 45 and then at age 55, switch to every other year. for women who are 40-44, it's your choice and talk to your doctor and decide if you want to have a mammogram, but the recommendation is age 45." jenna says, "what would you recommend for the women in your life? dr. besser says, "i think women have choices, i love when my patients take charge of their own health and try to understand how these recommendations affect them. the reason for the shift [with the american cancer society's] recommendations is a growing recognition that screening, whether you're talking about screening for cervical cancer or breast cancer or prostate cancer, they all have

positive things, but they all have negative sides, and the negative side of mammography is seeing a shadow you're not sure of and a woman having to go through a biopsy. and most biopsies go find, but some have problems. some women being diagnosed with cancer where the cancer never would've caused a problem. those are all consequences or downsides of a program that's designed to save lives. so, the goal to moving to age 45 is to still save lives, but hopefully not have as many downsides for as many women." jenna: these new

mquist@kcaut v.com chris: after back to back last second losses, nebraska finally got back in the win column with a convincing 48-25 road win

the pass defense struggled, allowing mitch leidner to pass for a career best 301 yards, but the front seven was dominant, holding the gophers to just 65 yards on the ground. offensively, tommy armstrong had a strong game, throwing for 261 and 3 touchdowns while terrell newby added two more scores on the ground. for the huskers, it was a team win that came at a crucial time. jack gangwish--"the win felt good. you know, things obviously haven't been going exactly the way we had hoped this season, so, for these new coaches and for the guys on this team especially, you know, going up to minnesota and playing well and executing the way we wanted to, making the progress that we wanted to, is that was big. that was big for us." josh banderas--"i mean it just shows that finally you know, maybe we corrected the little things that might have gone wrong in those close wins and you know it allowed us to put together a full game, and you know, actually show what we're capable of so we've kind of got a sense of what we need to do and how we need to do it. i think it's gonna help us kind of jump-start for the rest of, for the last half of the season." nebraska hosts

northwestern this weekend. that game is at 11 am on espn 2. that game is at 11 am on espn 2. chris: last season, the briar cliff men might have snuck up on some teams on their way to the naia national tournament. this year, the chargers won't have that advantage. briar cliff was picked as the team to beat in the gpac today in the preseason coaches poll. the chargers return four starters from last year's 22-11 squad that dropped a two point decision to davenport in the opening round in branson. bcu has a trio of playmakers returning in all- conference guards shane graves, austin lefler and bryan forbes, but even with that talent, the chargers know they have a lot of work left to do. nic nelson--"number one i think it makes me question the judgement of the other coaches in the league, but you

know i think it's just a reflection that we've got a lot of guys back from a national tournament team a year ago. we've got good experience, we've got good experience in the back court. i think our guys understand that after today that preseason poll doesn't really mean anything." shane graves--"i don't think any of us are looking at that and saying that makes us feel expected to win games or win a conference championship or anything like that. every year the gpac's good and there's tons of good teams out there, but right now it's just about getting better every day." austin lefler--"i definitely think it's an honor, you know that other teams are thinking of us like that, but the team that we have this year is a totally different team than the one we had last year. i don't think this team has really proven anything yet and i think that we can't think of ourselves as the top team in the gpac. we have to still go out, we have to prove it. we're a whole new team." the chargers open up their season in 8 days with a trip to central iowa. here's a glance at the rest of the gpac mens preseason poll. the chargers edged out dordt at the top of the conference...the defenders finished 9 and 11 last year in conference play. northwestern returns all 5 starters from a year ago, they were picked fifth and defending conference champs morningside, slotted 8th to start the year

after losing 7 seniors from last year's team. on the women's side, coaches are unable to vote for their own on the women's side, coaches are unable to vote for their own team so morningside the unanimous choice at the top as they look to defend their national title. briar cliff, coming off a final four appearance last year was picked third, just one point out of second. northwestern returns 3 starters, they're picked fifth and dordt rounds out the area teams, selected 10th in the preseason poll. royals, looking for their second straight world series trip, taking on the blue jays this afternoon. bottom of the second...chris colabello...to the power alley...solo homer puts the blue jays up 1-0. that's the score into the 6th...when edinson volquez runs into trouble...edwin encarnacion draws the bases loaded walk...the lead doubled up to two. later in the inning...troy tulowitzki breaks

if you think storm damage is the only cost of climate change, think again. from the rising price of food to higher insurance rates for homes and businesses, the economic damage will only get worse. but with american-made clean energy, we can save money on electricity and spur innovation to create new businesses and jobs. it all starts with 50% clean energy by 2030. so, what are we waiting for? dear future, please help.

the present is kind of a scary place. i have no money, no job, no clothes. i feel completely helpless. but i hear good things about you, future. like i'll have hair, and friends, and books and music. i can't wait to meet you. it's time for our
