A drink a day increases breast cancer risk ? The Chart - CNN.com ...
Even moderate drinking increases a woman?s breast cancer risk, according to a study published Tuesday in the Journal of the American Medical Association.
The research found as few as three to six glasses of wine a week increased the chance of developing breast cancer. The risk of breast cancer rose with the amount of alcohol consumed, the study found, with the best measure of risk being a woman?s cumulative alcohol consumption throughout her lifetime.
?This study doesn?t tell women, ?Don?t drink at all,?? said Dr. Wendy Chen, lead author and assistant professor of medicine at Harvard Medical School. ?It?s really what someone does on average over a long period of time, not what they did this past month, not what they did this past year.?
Previous studies have shown higher alcohol consumption associated with an increased risk of breast cancer. The effects of moderate drinking had not been calculated before.
In this study, funded by the National Institutes of Health,?researchers found a 10% increase in risk with each 10 grams (3.5 ounces) per day of alcohol consumed. For example, women who consumed 3-6 glasses of wine per week had a breast cancer risk about 1.15 times higher than women who don?t drink.
There was no difference in cancer risk among wine, beer and liquor when the amount of alcohol in each was considered. Wine has 11 grams of alcohol per 4-ounce serving; beer, 12.8 grams per 12-ounce serving; liquor, 14 grams per standard serving.
Women who drank less than the equivalent of three glasses of wine per week showed no increased risk for breast cancer, the study found.
Chen said the studied showed alcohol added to whatever risk a woman already had for breast cancer. For example, if a woman had a family history of breast cancer, higher alcohol consumption added to that risk, she said.
Because moderate drinking has been associated with a lower death rate for heart disease, Chen said women should weigh the risks and benefits of drinking based on their own health histories.
Chen and her colleagues found no difference in risk based on what point in life the alcohol was consumed.
?Our results highlight the importance of considering lifetime exposure when considering the effect of alcohol? on cancer risk, the study concluded.
Chen and her colleagues used data from The Nurses? Health Study, which began following more than 120,000 nurses in 1976 and first began asking participants about alcohol consumption in 1980. The researchers compared drinking habits with the 7,690 cases of invasive breast cancer among the nurses being followed.

Gadhafi son to surrender to Hague?
TRIPOLI?? Moammar Gadhafi's influential son and heir-apparent, Saif al-Islam Gadhafi, has offered to turn himself in to The Hague war crimes court, a senior Libyan official told Reuters on Wednesday.
On the run in the desert, fearing for his life after his father was captured and slain and despairing of any safe haven across an African border, the 39-year-old once expected to inherit dynastic power from Moammar Gadhafi now saw a Dutch prison cell as his best option, the official said.
Spokesman for the Hague court Fadi El Abdallah said: "We don't have confirmation about this now. We are trying to contact the NTC for more information."
Saif al-Islam is wanted by the International Criminal Court, as was his late father. There is also a warrant out for his relative, former intelligence chief Abdullah al-Senussi.
"They are proposing a way to hand themselves over to The Hague," said Abdel Majid Mlegta, a senior military official for the National Transitional Council. NTC forces toppled Gadhafi in August and overran his hometown and final bastion of Sirte a week ago, capturing the fallen strongman, who was then killed.
An ICC spokesman said it had no confirmation of any talks.
It had hoped to try Moammar Gadhafi himself for crimes against humanity, although Libya's NTC also wanted to have him face justice at home. In the event, the 69-year-old was seized by NTC fighters who filmed themselves beating him before he died, although it remains unclear who killed him.
His rotting corpse was displayed to the public for four days before being buried in a secret desert grave on Tuesday.
Story: Rebels: Gadhafi's son Saif al-Islam captured aliveMlegta, citing intelligence sources, said Saif al-Islam, whose British education and talk of liberal reforms once put him at the heart of a rapprochement between his father and the West, was somewhere in the Libyan Sahara far to the south, trying to get an unnamed country to broker a deal with the ICC.
With Senussi, he had contemplated escape into either Algeria, which has taken in his mother, sister and two brothers, or to Niger, where another brother found refuge. However, Mlegta said: "They feel that it is not safe for them to stay where they are or to go anywhere."

Further confirmation of the fugitives' situation was not immediately possible. Mlegta said that, although the Gadhafi family was assumed to have great wealth hidden away, Saif al-Islam lacked the funds to buy safe passage into Niger.
Transformation
The transformation of Saif al-Islam's image, from that of a relaxed, English-speaking pragmatist into a maker of blood-curdling threats against the "rats" who rose up against his father, saw him join the elder Gadhafi on the ICC wanted list.
His flight and possible capture may not extinguish opposition to the NTC, which on Sunday declared Libya "liberated" after 42 years of Gadhafi's rule and is now working toward forming a government that can hold free elections.
At the pro-Gadhafi tribal stronghold of Bani Walid, where a captive aide to Saif al-Islam told Reuters Gadhafi's son was hiding until last week, tribesmen incensed by retribution from NTC forces warned they were readying an insurgency.
"The Warfalla tribe is boiling inside. They can't wait to do something about this," Abu Abdurakhman, a local resident, said during a tour of his house destroyed by what he said was a revenge attack by anti-Gadhafi forces.
"The Warfalla men of Tripoli and elsewhere are sending around text messages saying: 'We need to gather and do something about this. Let's gather! Let's gather!'"
Libya lacks the sectarian divide and proximity to competing regional powers that turned U.S.-occupied Iraq into a killing ground after the overthrow of Saddam Hussein in 2003.
But it is awash with weapons and with long-standing regional and ethnic rivalries and resentments that could prolong instability as its new leaders and their foreign allies seek to exploit Libya's big oil and gas reserves.
Saif al-Islam
On a pro-Gadhafi website, Zangetna.com, supporters declared: "We promise you, martyred leader, that we will follow your path and we swear to the creator of heaven and earth the blood of martyrs will not be shed in vain." They swore allegiance to "the holy warrior" Saif al-Islam Moammar Gadhafi, calling on him to lead them.
An account of the younger Gadhafi's last days in Bani Walid suggest a degree of panic, however, as his enemies closed in.
'I am happy': Libyans line up to see Gadhafi's body"He was nervous. He had a Thuraya (satellite phone) and he called his father many times," said al-Senussi Sharif al-Senussi, an officer who was part of Saif al-Islam's personal security team until Bani Walid fell to the NTC on October 17.
"He repeated to us: don't tell anyone where I am. Don't let them spot me. He was afraid of mortars. He seemed confused."
The NATO alliance whose air power tipped the balance of eight months of fighting in favor of the motley rebel forces says that it sees no immediate military threat and plans to wind up its mission.
But the head of the NTC, Mustafa Abdel Jalil, called at a meeting with military allies in Qatar for NATO assistance to continue until the end of the year.
NATO responded to his remarks by postponing until later this week a meeting that had been expected to formalize a decision to end its Libya mission at the end of the month.
Qatar's top general, Chief of Staff Major-General Hamad bin Ali al-Attiyah, said in remarks carried by Al Jazeera television that Western countries had proposed setting up a new alliance to support Libya after the NATO mission ended.
"And they have asked that it be headed by Qatar because Qatar is a friend of theirs and a close friend of Libya," he added without giving further details.
Abdel Jalil said he wanted NATO help in stopping Gadhafi loyalists escaping justice. But NATO officials at their Brussels headquarters recalled that their U.N. mandate was to protect civilians, not target individuals ? though it was a NATO airstrike on a motorcade in Sirte that led to the elder Gadhafi's capture.
Military experts say NATO's aerial and satellite power would be stretched to detect fleeing convoys in the vast Sahara, which is also out of realistic range for a mission to strike such vehicles, even if NATO's mandate were interpreted to allow it.

Jaguars shut down Ravens, win 12-7 in prime time (AP)
JACKSONVILLE, Fla. ? As Maurice Jones-Drew walked off the field, his white pants had a mix of grass, dirt and blood stains. They might be worth keeping that way.
After all, few players have had that much success against that defense.
Jones-Drew ran for 105 yards, Josh Scobee kicked four field goals and the Jacksonville Jaguars snapped a five-game slide with a 12-7 victory over the Baltimore Ravens on Monday night.
"It finally feels good to win one after all those losses," said Jones-Drew, the first player to run for 100 yards against the Ravens since last December. "It was nice to show the world what we're about. We beat a very good team."
Stepping into the national spotlight for a few hours, the Jaguars used their best defensive effort in seven years to slow down Ray Rice, Joe Flacco and Co.
"You've got to give them credit. They played like it was their Super Bowl," Ravens receiver Anquan Boldin said.
The victory could be a turning point for a young team trying to create confidence after losing eight of its previous nine games. Instead of talk about coach Jack Del Rio's job security, the Jaguars (2-5) got back in the mix in the wide-open AFC South.
"We knew this was an opportunity to right things and gain a little respect," Del Rio said.
They relied on Jones-Drew and the defense to get it done.
Jacksonville didn't allow a first down until the 5:26 mark of the third quarter, a mix of stout defense and inept offense. Flacco finally got the Ravens (4-2) on the scoreboard with a little more than two minutes remaining. He capped a 90-yard drive with a 5-yard touchdown pass to Boldin.
The Ravens failed to recover an onside kick when the ball bounced inches short of going the required 10 yards. Scobee followed with his third field goal of at least 50 yards, tying an NFL record held by many.
"As long as I'm getting those opportunities, I will gladly take them," Scobee said. "Given that we haven't scored a lot of points this season, I know that every time I'm out there it's very important."
Baltimore had a final possession, but in fitting fashion, Jacksonville's defense came up big. Drew Coleman stepped in front of Ed Dickson and intercepted Flacco's final pass.
The Ravens finished with 146 total yards, the fewest yards the Jaguars have allowed since 2004.
"They basically beat us with their defense," coach John Harbaugh said. "I don't think it was any one thing. It was a lack of execution. It's almost as bad as you can play on offense."
The Jaguars set a franchise record by allowing only 16 yards in the first half, including 1 yard passing by Flacco, who was under relentless pressure for much of the night.
"We need to make sure when we're not on our 'A' game, we're not this," said Flacco, who completed 21 of 38 passes for 137 yards.
Baltimore finally got a first down on its 28th play of the game when Rice broke off a 12-yard run. That was only the second play longer than 10 yards for the Ravens.
"We were confident about this game," Jaguars defensive tackle Terrance Knighton said. "We knew we had to outplay them. The difference between this and the other weeks is that we started fast. Our defense is capable of that. That's why we hold ourselves to a high standard. We just needed to taste victory. Now that we have, we're going to keep it rolling."
The teams combined to go 0 of 16 on third-down conversions in the opening half. The Jaguars began the third quarter with six first downs, only for the Ravens defense to stiffen after yet another mistake.
The Ravens stopped Jacksonville, but Brendon Ayanbadejo was called for a personal foul and ejected from the game when he punched Guy Whimper in the facemask after the play. That gave the Jaguars first-and-goal from the 3, but Blaine Gabbert failed to complete two passes in the end zone and Scobee kicked a 22-yard field goal.
An earlier field goal was set up by another Baltimore blunder.
After Gabbert completed passes of 24 and 11 yards to the Ravens 38, Gabbert was sacked on third-and-8 at the 40. The Jaguars chose to punt, but Paul Kruger was penalized for running into the kicker. The 5-yard penalty put Scobee in field goal range, putting the Jaguars up 6-0 with a 54-yard kick.
Scobee, who extended his franchise record with a field goal for the 15th straight game, kicked two 54-yarders.
Jacksonville needed every yard and point it could muster. The NFL's worst offense put the game on Jones-Drew's shoulders. He carried 30 times, most of them right into the middle of Baltimore's revered defense.
"We just grinded them," Gabbert said. "Mojo's a beast back there."
NOTES: Ravens S Ed Reed had his shoulder popped back into place in the fourth quarter, but returned after a few plays off. ... Houston's Arian Foster was the last player to run for at least 100 yards against Baltimore. ... The Jaguars, who snapped a six-game losing streak in prime time, improved to 7-3 on Monday night. ... Rice ran eight times for 28 yards. ... Baltimore's star was Sam Koch, who punted nine times for a 52.2 yard average.

CNET In Talks To Acquire gdgt As Early As This Week
Back in 2009, TechCrunch Founder Michael Arrington wrote that CNET (and parent company CBS) were sniffing around gdgt, the then-brand-new community/review site/blog by Peter Rojas and Ryan Block. While CNET was considering an investment at the time, an acquisition was said not to be an option. Oh, how time can change things. Two years later, we're not only hearing that CNET is now in talks to acquire gdgt, but also that the deal could be announced as early as this week.Source: http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/Techcrunch/~3/cqPUPPqiolM/

Isaacson: Jobs was voting Obama (Politico)
It made headlines when it was revealed in a new book that Steve Jobs had told President Barack Obama he?d be a one-termer if he weren?t more business-friendly.
The revelation comes from Walter Isaacson?s just-published authorized biography of Jobs, but the author tells POLITICO that the Apple founder was still backing Obama, despite his concerns.
Continue Reading?That got overblown,? said Isaacson. ?He was really into supporting Obama in 2012?He wanted to make ads for Obama.?
Those TV spots would have been quite something, said Isaacson, considering the strength of Apple?s advertising reputation. ?He felt that you needed to do that kind of ?It?s Morning in America? thing that Hal Riney did for Reagan,? said Isaacson.
It would have been a rare foray into politics for Jobs, whom Isaacson said ?he just didn?t focus on politics.? (In case you were wondering, Isaacson said the topic of the 2012 Republican field never came up).
?He was fine with government policies, in general,? said Isaacson.
Isaacson, still in the midst of a whirlwind book promotion given the timeliness of his biography, says Jobs? death had a profound affect on him.
?The emotionalism surrounding his death was something that I wasn?t fully prepared for,? said Isaacson. ?I actually hoped the book would be out while he was still alive ? and I thought he had a good chance to stay one step ahead of the cancer. And when the emotionalism hit, it hit me as well, too.?
