Vitamin D 'slashes cancer risk'

Taking vitamin D tablets could substantially reduce the risk of pancreatic cancer, research suggests.

US scientists found taking the tablets cut the risk of a disease, which has a poor prognosis in almost half of cases.

There are more than 3,600 new cases of pancreatic cancer in women and more than 3,500 in men in the UK each year. Surgery is not often effective.

Vitamin D was examined as it previously showed promise in cutting the risk of prostate, breast and colon cancer.

The results of this study don't mean that people should take vitamin D supplements to ward off pancreatic cancer Henry Scowcroft

Except for smoking, no environmental factors or dietary factors have been linked to the pancreatic cancer.

But previous studies have suggested that vitamin D might help to block the proliferation of cancer cells.

And pancreas tissue - both normal and cancerous - has been found to contain high levels of an enzyme that converts vitamin D into its active form.

What is your Homepage?

A question I’ve seen been discussed on many occasions is the effect of a person’s homepage on a person’s productivity.

With services like NetVibes and Google IG, many people’s homepage contains personalised news, email and weather. This often sets you off on a tangent, making you browse the net instead of remaining objective.

Earlier this year, Lifehacker discussed using about:blank as a person’s homepage, as this is less likely to set you off on a tangent.

Personally, I use my own hosted version of Google X, as it makes you only one click away from email, news, images and browsing. I generally just search for what I’m after and check my Gmail, and I’ve done what I want!

Much better than reading the latest headlines at top blogs, just to get drawn to read the remainder of the story!

So, what do you use as your homepage? Why?

Crocodile Hunter

Australian naturalist and television personality Steve Irwin has been killed by a stingray during a diving expedition off the Australian coast.

Mr Irwin, 44, died after being struck in the chest by the stingray's barb while he was filming a documentary in Queensland's Great Barrier Reef.

Paramedics from Cairns rushed to the scene but were unable to save him.

Mr Irwin was known for his television show The Crocodile Hunter and his work with native Australian wildlife.

Police in Queensland confirmed the environmentalist's death and said his family had been notified. Mr Irwin was married with two young children.

Mr Irwin's manager John Stainton told the BBC the stingray's barb had pierced the personality's heart.

"He came over the top of a stingray and a barb, the stingray's barb went up and put a hole into his heart," he said.

"We got him back within a couple of minutes to Croc 1, which is Steve's research vessel, and by 12 o'clock when the emergency crew arrived they pronounced him dead."

The incident happened at Batt Reef, off Port Douglas.

It's a huge loss to Australia - he was a wonderful character John Howard, Australian Prime Minister

Australian Prime Minister John Howard said he had known Mr Irwin well, and that the country had lost a "wonderful and colourful son".

"I am quite shocked and distressed at Steve Irwin's sudden untimely and freakish death", he said.

"It's a huge loss to Australia - he was a wonderful character, he was a passionate environmentalist, he brought entertainment and excitement to millions of people."

The stingray is a flat, triangular-shaped fish, commonly found in tropical waters.

What happened to Steve Irwin is like being stabbed in the heart Dr Geoff Isbister Clinical toxicologist

It gets its name from the razor-sharp barb at the end of its tail, coated in toxic venom, which the animal uses to defend itself with when it feels threatened.

Attacks on humans are a rarity - only one other person is known to have died in Australia from a stingray attack, at St Kilda, Melbourne in 1945.

"Stingrays only sting in defence, they're not aggressive animals so the animal must have felt threatened. It didn't sting out of aggression, it stung out of fear," Dr Bryan Fry, Deputy Director of the Australian Venom Research Unit at the University of Melbourne said.

LimeWire Pro

LimeWire is an open source P2P, yet strangely it is sold both as a free and pro version. Still, the pro version is open-source, so it is freely distributed.

I understand free versions of software being open-source, how they license the pro license under the GPL. There must be some purpose to this. I have LimeWire Pro, I didn’t pay, but I didn’t steal; I broke no law. Wonderful! In my view, LimeWire is the best Gnutella client. It faces lots of criticism due to the fact that it’s written in the generally buggy Java platform.

The only networks I use are Gnutella and BitTorrent. I use BitTorrent for large files and Gnutella for small ones.

I hope LimeWire survives the battles it’ll face this year. I love when I can abuse the open-sourcisness (nice word, huh?) of it. I think the company, Lime Wire LLC, should find new ways of making revenue - and release the pro version for free. This would bring the taste of open-source to those who do not know open-source is.

Oh yeah, and if you want to download LimeWire Pro for free and legally visit this site.
