How Vitamin D Reduces the Incidence of Cancer: The DINOMIT Model - UCSD-TV - University of California Television
In a new study, researchers at the UCSD School of Medicine and Moores Cancer Center used a complex computer prediction model to determine that intake of vitamin D3 and calcium would prevent 58,000 new cases of breast cancer and 49,000 new cases of colorectal cancer annually in the US and Canada. The researchers' model also predicted that 75% of deaths from these cancers could be prevented with adequate intake of vitamin D3 and calcium. Join Dr. Cedric Garland, lead researcher on the study, as he discusses the implications of these findings and the proposed actions. (#16941)

10 Cancer-Fighting Foods | Care2 Healthy & Green Living
I’m going to put my Mommy hat on here, place my hands on my hips, look down at the broccoli you left on your plate, and tell you this: Eat your vegetables! Not because I’m a member of the clean-your-plate club, but because I care about you–and because I know this: in numerous studies following large groups of people, eating more vegetables and fruits has been linked to a lower risk of lung, oral, esophageal, stomach, and colon cancer. The thinking behind these results points to antioxidants and phytochemicals, natural compounds found in plants.
What are antioxidants? As described by the American Cancer Society (ACS), the body seems to use certain nutrients in vegetables and fruits to protect against damage to tissues that happens constantly as a result of normal metabolism (oxidation). Because such damage is linked with increased cancer risk, the antioxidant nutrients are thought to protect against cancer. Antioxidants include vitamin C, vitamin E, carotenoids, and many other phytochemicals (beneficial plant compounds).
Lab coat aside, it’s really a no-brainer. Eat real food, stay healthier. So now you’ve got not only a host of government programs telling you to eat your 5 to 9 servings of fruit and vegetables per day, you’ve got me hovering over your shoulder telling you to do the same! But I’ll go easy on you and offer up a few other plant-based suggestions as well. Here are ten super-duper cancer-fighting foods to add to your regime–these ten were chosen for their special cancer-kicking properties, as described on the Living Strong Living Well page of the Stanford School of Medicine Health Improvement Program.

The top 10 Android smartphones (for now) | 10 Things | TechRepublic.com
A hot new Android phone seems to hit the market almost every week. To help you sort through them all, Jason Hiner put together this list of the 10 best Android smartphones, based on the quality and value of each device.
Because there’s a stampede of Android smartphones barreling into the market — including both excellent models and a few duds — many people feel a little overwhelmed when trying to choose one. I get a lot of the “Would you get this one or that one?” questions and requests to rank my favorites. So I decided to do something a little dangerous — create a leaderboard of my top 10 Android picks. It’s dangerous because this is very subjective stuff. The smartphone that is the best fit for you is going to depend heavily on your needs and preferences.
But since I’ve had my paws on virtually all the Android devices, and I’ve written reviews of the best ones, I’m going to rank them in terms of overall quality, with much more emphasis placed on the smartphones themselves than on the wireless carriers they’re tied to.
I’m also going to keep this leaderboard up to date. So as I review new Android devices and decide they deserve a place in the top 10, I will add them to this list and bump other phones down or off the list.
Caveat: This ranking is primarily U.S.-based. In each country/region, the telecom carriers tend to give these devices different names. You may be able to find a close match between many of the devices on this list and devices in your area, but not in all cases.
Note: This article originally appeared as an entry in our Tech Sanity Check blog. It’s also available as a PDF download.

"... talent is a dreadfully cheap commodity, cheaper than table salt. What separates the talented individual from the successful one is a lot of hard work and study; a constant process of honing. Talent is a dull knife that will cut nothing unless it is wielded with great force – a force so great that the knife is not really cutting at all but bludgeoning and breaking... Discipline and constant work are the whetstones upon which the dull knife of talent is honed until it becomes sharp enough, hopefully, to cut through even the toughest meat and gristle."Stephen King (1947 – ) American writer, hard worker http://amplify.com/u/e6l9

10 Websites To Learn A Word A Day & Enrich Your Vocabulary
A few days back, we had taken a look at a few resources which helped us with slangs and day to day jargons. Street language sounds hep and helps us to keep up with the times. But it also limits our vocabulary. There’s a word in the English language for every instance, provided we care enough to adopt and use it.
There are only two ways to learn new words – read and use.
Think about it, a word a day translates to nearly 300 words over the course of a year; and many more over a lifetime. An expanded vocabulary not only helps to ace tests like SAT/ACT, but also opens up the language that we speak every day. Read a great speech and see how it moves you. Its oration backed up by a great vocabulary.
So, let’s take it a word at a time and seek the help of these ten websites that teach us new words in different ways.

Do you like Facebook, but wish your information wasn't so public? If so, it's time to
lock your settings down. Facebook doesn't make this easy, however;
features are constantly added and the default for each new one
seems to favor transparency instead of privacy.
If you use Facebook you should read this guide, if only to
understand how public most of your information is.
This amazing guide outlines a variety of things regarding Facebook
privacy, starting from how to make sure a comment meant for your
friends isn't seen by co-workers to keeping your Facebook information off
Google's search results and blocking unwanted users. Plus a few
things you probably didn't even know you wanted to know.
