			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><span id="lingo_span" class="lingo_region"> Taiwan&#8217;s main stock index and property prices have gained this year on hopes that the island, under newly elected President Ma Ying-jeou, will seek closer ties with the mainland. To that end, Taiwan is prepared to open itself to goods and money from the mainland in ways that it hasn&#8217;t in more than a half a century. </span><span id="lingo_span" class="lingo_region">The combined net worth of the island&#8217;s 40 richest is $77 billion, more than their counterparts in South Korea or any Southeast Asian nation. They lag Hong Kong&#8217;s top 40 by $102 billion and China&#8217;s by $43 billion, but considering Taiwan&#8217;s political isolation and relative size, the group holds its own.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Do you know Kindle? Kindle Introduced in November 2007, Kindle is an e-reader developed by Amazon.com to allow easy access to a vast library of electronic books to be downloaded and read on the device. Books are loaded onto the device wirelessly via Amazon’s free EVDO network (called WhisperNet) and are published in a proprietary format for the Kindle. In addition to books, Kindle owners can also send files to Amazon to be converted and published onto the Kindle, and access blogs and newspapers through the Kindle’s browser. Kindle displays its contents via electronic-paper display, a new technology that creates a paper-like display for electronic text that is also used in Sony’s Reader product.</p>
<p><span id="more-31"></span>Ever since Amazon launched, 240,000 Kindles have been shipped. Doing a little back of the envelope math, that brings total sales of the device so far to between $86 million and $96 million (the price of the device was reduced to $360 from $400 last May). Then add the amounts spent on digital books, newspapers, and blogs purchased to read on the device, and you get a business that has easily brought in above $100 million so far. (Each $25 worth of digital reading material purchased per Kindle, add $6 million in total revenues).</p>
<p>Scott Devitt, an analyst at Stifel, Nicolaus &amp; Co., predicts that Amazon is on track to sell 500,000 to 750,000 more Kindles over the next four quarters. He estimates that Kindle owners will buy an additional $120 to $150 worth of books and other content for each device, bringing the total revenues over that time period to somewhere between $225 million and $355 million. Based on that, he values the Kindle as a $1 billion business for Amazon.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Paul W.S. Anderson the Resident Evil Director confirm to press and media that the army of cloned Alices from the end of RE3 WOULD be appear at the fourth Resident Evil movie.</p>
<blockquote><p>We&#8217;re in very early discussions about all of it, so it&#8217;s not a definite thing by any means. Mila would like to return, and I would certainly like to see the franchise continue. Last year there were, I think, eight &#8216;threequels&#8217; got released. Rush Hour 3, Pirates 3, Spider-Man 3&#8230;but there was eight of them. Shrek 3. Six out of the eight, the third movie did worse business than the second movie. There were only two where the third movie did better than the second movie. That was Bourne Ultimatum and Resident Evil. So, you know, it is quite an achievement for a franchise to keep growing like that, and we all feel that the audience is excited to see another one clearly. We would like, if we could put it together, we would do it.</p></blockquote>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Here is the tutorial how to turning your iPhone into Wireless Modems. Many iPhone user, newbie iPhone user, iPhone dummies had a similar question. They ask how could they iPhone tiurning into Wireless Mopdem. On forums, on a blog, and mouth to mouth chat they asking same question,  Now let me guide you to turning your iPhone to Wireless Modem. Here is the step by step you mush follow:</p>
<p>Step 1: Download NetShare<br />
Search for NetShare in the iPhone&#8217;s App Store (yes, it&#8217;s there now). Pay 10 bucks and download it.</p>
<p>Step 2: Create a New Network<br />
On your Mac, click on your Airport icon and select &#8220;Create Network.&#8221; Type whatever name you&#8217;d like: We used &#8220;iPhone tether&#8221; with the channel set to Automatic (11). Then click OK.</p>
<p>Step 3: Open System Preferences &#8211;&gt; Network<br />
<span id="more-29"></span>In the Network panel in System Preferences, select your Airport connection and click &#8220;Advanced.&#8221;</p>
<p>Step 4: Configure TCP/IP<br />
Choose the TCP/IP tab. Select &#8220;Using DHCP with manual address&#8221; and set your IPv4 Address to 192.168.10.2.</p>
<p>Step 5: Configure Proxies<br />
Click the Proxies tab. Now, checkmark the &#8220;SOCKS Proxy&#8221; box and enter 192.168.10.1 in the SOCKS Proxy server. After the colon, enter 1080 as the port number. Click OK and then hit the Apply button.</p>
<p>Step 6: Select Your Network on iPhone<br />
In your iPhone&#8217;s Settings app, choose the network you created and hit the blue arrow.</p>
<p>Step 7: Configure Static Settings<br />
Hit the Static tab and enter 192.168.10.1 for the IP address.</p>
<p>Step 8: Disable Sleep<br />
Don&#8217;t let your iPhone sleep, because you&#8217;ll get disconnected. In iPhone&#8217;s settings, go to General&#8211;&gt;Auto-Lock and set it to &#8220;Never.&#8221;</p>
<p>Step 9: Open NetShare<br />
Now open NetShare and run Safari on your Mac. You should be able to start browsing the web.</p>
<p>Step 10 (Optional): Confirm Connection<br />
If you want to double check whether you&#8217;re connected, load Terminal (in the Utilities folder) on your Mac and type &#8220;ping 192.168.10.1.&#8221; If you see some activity, you&#8217;re all set.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>If you think to travelling maybe for a weak ar couples wees, you may consider thinks that you must have or you must bring to your travel. We listed 25 Must Have Tarvel Gadget to accompany you in your route.<br />
1.    Apple&#8217;s Airport Express. Just plug that Ethernet cable into the box and the box into an unoccupied outlet ready to be configured into your own private Wi-Fi domain.<br />
2.    Canon Powershot SD1100 IS Digital Elph. Picking a camera to take on the road it’s a common thing. This is the best travel snapshots, because this is smaller than a pack of cards.<br />
3.    Franklin 12-language (Speaking) Global Translator. No more worry about foreign languages anymore.<br />
4.    Macbook Air. The perfect companion to traveling executive. Very thin, handy to carry, and very beautiful gadget, I mean laptop.<br />
<span id="more-28"></span>5.    Kensington ComboSaver Portable Notebook Lock. You may think to protect your laptop, because a notebook computer is stolen every 53 seconds in the U.S. Better be careful.<br />
6.    Apple iPhone 3G. We already listed two Apple product at above, well how do I say, Steve Job’s products is really great products. We prefer the iPhone because it&#8217;s easier to use and has better software; a week after it went on sale there were 46 travel programs available for download on the App Store, including a widget that tracks airport security wait times.<br />
7.    Tumi Ultra Slim Universal Power Adaptor Kit. Low battery? Get this kit with you.<br />
8.    Kensington Mini Battery Pack. You will never lose your battery anymore. Thanks to this battery.<br />
9.    Kindle: Books to go. Amazon&#8217;s first-generation e-book reader certainly needs improvement — the page-turn buttons are awkwardly placed, among other things - but anyone who likes to read on the road should consider it an essential companion.<br />
10.    Flip Mino: Point-and-Shoot Video. Flip&#8217;s Mino, a cigarette-pack sized video recorder that&#8217;s basically built around a big, fat, red RECORD button<br />
11.    Panasonic Portable DVD Player LS86. 8.5-inch (diagonal) screen and unrivalled battery life, eye-glazing 13 hours worth of playback.<br />
12.    Play Station Portable. Even you not a game addict or a gamer. PSP is hard to beat.<br />
13.    Headplay Personal Cinema System. This device connects to TVs, video game consoles, DVD players, laptops, iPods, and virtually anything with video and audio out jacks.<br />
14.    Able Planet&#8217;s Clear Harmony Noise Canceling Headphones. Able Planet&#8217;s Clear harmony headphones (called Linx Audio) was actually developed to boost the sound quality of hearing aids. You can hear the difference up in the higher frequencies of your music.<br />
15.    Asus R300 Handheld Personal Navigator. A mounting kit makes it easy to use for in-car GPS, for starters. Can also slide it into a pocket, and get directions in pedestrian, bike and even bus mode. It&#8217;s also can carry photos, music files, even videos on board as well as in external Micro SD cards, Bluetooth and an embedded FM transmitter, you can field phone calls via the R300, too.<br />
16.    Dash Express In-Car GPS. No more lose in middle of nowhere.<br />
17.    HP EliteBook 6930p Laptop. Here&#8217;s an excellent choice for the road warrior.<br />
18.    Wine Skin. The Wine Skin is not technically a gadget, but it is the most useful bag any plonk-mad traveler can have. You take your bottle, insert it in the bottle-shaped bubble wrap bag and seal it up air-tight.<br />
19.    Tumi Frequent Traveler 22&#8243; Zippered Expandable Carry On. Luggage is not sexy, and even though the Tumi people did their best to make the Frequent Traveler look good.<br />
20.    Reef Stash Sandals. The secret tray in the sole slides out to hold personal items and slides back in to make sure no one knows they&#8217;re there.<br />
21.    Swissbit Swiss Army 1GB USB Flash Drive. Scissors, pen, knife, nail file, screwdriver, light and the 1GB Swissbit drive<br />
22.    The Clear Card. All the various mobile apps that track the speed of airport security lines may be useful — but they&#8217;re not as useful as skipping the security line. The Clear Card ain&#8217;t perfect.<br />
23.    Travel Valet Service - Trackstick II. Powered by two AAA batteries, it&#8217;s got 4MB of built-in storage for tracking weeks of your every step. Load it into your computer via the built in USB connection, apply the nifty Google Earth integration and all of a sudden you can see your life mapped by a series red lines.<br />
24.    Menospeak Book. The Menospeak books may sound like they were inspired by Mickey Rooney in Breakfast at Tiffany&#8217;s, but they&#8217;re a simple, culturally respectful way to navigate through China, Japan and Thailand<br />
25.    SteriPen Ultraviolet Bacteria and Pathogen Killing Water Wand. The SteriPen has no dissolving tablets or plug-ins, you just stick it in a glass or bottle, turn it on and in roughly 48 seconds 16oz. of water is rendered safe and potable. It&#8217;s particularly good at killing Cryptosporidium, a common cause of diarrhea and ruined trips to Mexico.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Still using Windows XP ? Doesn&#8217;t migrate to Windows Vista yet? Or bored with Windows OS design? How about changing the look of your Windows XP to Linux Ubuntu? Hem, to be honest its really easy. But before you can continue, you need a few things which are :<br />
1. UxTheme Multi-Patcher<br />
2. Human Visual Style Theme<br />
3. IconTweaker.<br />
4. Super Turbo Tango Patcher<br />
5. Stardock BootSkin<br />
6. LogonStudio</p>
<p>After you get that things, now lets begin the tutorial.<br />
1. The first thing is the Visual Style. To change your visual style of Windows XP, download UxTheme Multi-Patcher and install it. After installing it, download the Human Visual Style Theme. Then extract the theme to C:\Windows\Resources\Themes and then go to your Desktop. Right click and go to Properties, then go to Appearance and Select Human as the theme. Now you are done with the visual style part.<br />
<span id="more-27"></span><br />
2. The next step is to change the icons of Windows XP to something that looks like icons in Ubuntu Linux. Download Super Turbo Tango Patcher and install it. During installation, select the icon set as Tangerine as this pack contains the icons that are matches the icons in Ubuntu Linux. There is another software that can change the icons of Windows XP which is IconTweaker. Download it and then download IconTweaker Theme to change the icons of Windows XP. Use this software if you dont want to use Super Turbo Tango Patcher.</p>
<p>3. The next thing is to change the mouse pointers which you have in your computer. The ones that come with the human theme. Go to C:\WINDOWS\Resources\Themes\Human\Cursors and find â€œinstall.infâ€. Then right click on install.inf and select â€œInstallâ€. Then go to Control Panel &gt; Mouse and choose the newly added â€œxFree cursor theme.</p>
<p>4. Now you should change the wallpapers. Its inside the human theme folder C:\WINDOWS\Resources\Themes\Human\Wallpapers. Just chose the wallpaper, Right click on it and Click Set as Desktop background. You can find Ubuntu wallpaper anywhere.</p>
<p>5. Now coming to the boot screen of Windows Xp which i dont like at all. Download Stardock BootSkin, its a free application so just download it and install. And then download Ubuntu Boot Skin and apply it.</p>
<p>6. The last step is to change the logon screen of Windows Xp. For that first download LogonStudio and then download the Ubuntu Logon Skin and use it with LogonStudio.<br />
Now to make 3rd party applications like Mozilla Firefox to blend in like Ubuntu, download the Ubuntu Theme for mozilla and change the look of Firefox as well.</p>
<p>Well done, still searching for more style you can create. Its depent on your imagination.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Ladies, Approximatly 5% to 10% of the roughly 200,000 American women diagnosed with breast cancer each year have an inherited gene mutation that puts them at higher risk for developing the disease. No one knows very much about why breast cancer happens. Except that it likely starts in our genes. &#8220;Cancer in general is a disease of aging, and breast cancer is probably caused by an error in gene replication—the older we get, the more error prone we get,&#8221; says Ramona F. Swaby, MD, a medical oncologist specializing in breast cancer at Fox Chase Cancer Center in Philadelphia. Indeed, a woman’s chance of getting breast cancer doesn’t rise to the terrifying one in eight until she’s reached 85 years of age. If you’re a woman under 40, for instance, your risk is much lower: one in 233.</p>
<p><span id="more-25"></span>Most of inherited gene mutation remain unidentified, but scientists know that mutations to the BRCA-1 and BRCA-2 (Breast Cancer 1 and 2) genes, which normally help prevent cancer by regulating cell growth, are linked to an increased risk for breast and ovarian cancer.</p>
<p>If you’re wondering whether you carry the BRCA-1 or BRCA-2 mutations, you may have considered getting a genetic test to find out. That’s a tough decision, because it’s not always clear what to do with your test results. Some women who know they are at higher risk without taking the test simply commit to more frequent mammograms; others feel the need to know as much as possible and may consider prophylactic surgery if they test positive.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Don&#8217;t give up to breast cancer, see to the right way. In facts that breast cancer can be neutralized. Don&#8217;t be sad, here I listed the major things to do to cut your breast cancer risk:<br />
1. Limit yourself to two or three alcoholic drinks a week.</p>
<p>2. Exercise at least three times a week (more often is better). And when you do exercise, work to keep your heart rate above its baseline level for a minimum of 20 continuous minutes.</p>
<p><span id="more-24"></span></p>
<p>3. Maintain your body weight, or lose weight if you&#8217;re overweight. Research shows that being overweight or obese (especially if you&#8217;re past menopause) increases your risk, especially if you put on the weight as an adult. And a study released in March 2008 by researchers at the University of Texas M.D. Anderson Cancer Center in Houston showed that obese and overweight women also had lower breast cancer survival rates and a greater chance of more aggressive disease than average-weight or underweight women.</p>
<p>4. Do a monthly self breast self-exam. Be sure to get proper instruction from your doctor and have your technique reviewed regularly. You might catch a lump before a mammogram does, and it&#8217;s a good idea to follow changes in your body.</p>
<p>5. Have a mammogram once a year after 40. Catching a tumor early boosts the chance of survival significantly: The five-year survival rate can be as high as 98% for the earliest stage localized disease but hovers around 27% for distant-stage, or metastatic, disease.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>All woman in the world, now has revealed the facts of Breast Cancer Myths. Now u will learn much from the expert, and you will known much if the myth is right or the myth is wrong. Here this the 25 breast cancer myths and misunderstandings:</p>
<p>1. Myth: Only women with a family history of breast cancer are at risk.</p>
<p>Reality: Roughly 70% of women diagnosed with breast cancer have no identifiable risk factors for the disease. But the family-history risks are these: If a first-degree relative (a parent, sibling, or child) has had or has breast cancer, your risk of developing the disease approximately doubles. Having two first-degree relatives with the disease increases your risk even more.</p>
<p>2. Myth: Wearing an underwire bra increases your risk of getting breast cancer.</p>
<p>Reality: Claims that underwire bras compress the lymphatic system of the breast, causing toxins to accumulate and cause breast cancer, have been widely debunked as unscientific. The consensus is that neither the type of bra you wear nor the tightness of your underwear or other clothing has any connection to breast cancer risk.</p>
<p>3. Myth: Most breast lumps are cancerous.</p>
<p>Reality: Roughly 80% of lumps in women&#8217;s breasts are caused by benign (noncancerous) changes, cysts, or other conditions. Doctors encourage women to report any changes at all, however, because catching breast cancer early is so beneficial. Your doctor may recommend a mammogram, ultrasound, or biopsy to determine whether a lump is cancerous.</p>
<p>4. Myth: Exposing a tumor to air during surgery causes cancer to spread.</p>
<p>Reality: Surgery doesn&#8217;t cause breast cancer and it doesn&#8217;t cause breast cancer to spread, as far as scientists can tell from the research so far. Your doctor may find out during surgery that your cancer is more widespread than previously thought, however. And some animal studies have shown that removing the primary tumor sometimes enables metastatic cancers to grow, but only temporarily; this has not been demonstrated in humans.</p>
<p>5. Myth: Breast implants can raise your cancer risk.</p>
<p><span id="more-23"></span>Reality: Women with breast implants are at no greater risk of getting breast cancer, according to research. Standard mammograms don&#8217;t always work as well on these women, however, so additional X-rays are sometimes needed to more fully examine breast tissue.</p>
<p>6. Myth: All women have a 1-in-8 chance of getting breast cancer.</p>
<p>Reality: Your risk increases as you get older. A woman’s chance of being diagnosed with breast cancer is about 1 in 233 when she&#8217;s in her 30s and rises to 1 in 8 by the time she’s reached 85.<br />
7. Myth: Wearing antiperspirant increases your risk of getting breast cancer.</p>
<p>Reality: The American Cancer Society pooh-poohs this rumor, but admits that more research is needed. One small study did stumble on traces of parabens in a tiny sample of breast cancer tumors. Parabens, used as preservatives in some antiperspirants, have weak estrogen-like properties, but the study in question made no cause-and-effect connection between parabens and breast cancer, nor did it conclusively identify the source of the parabens found in tumors.<br />
8. Myth: Small-breasted women have less chance of getting breast cancer.</p>
<p>Reality: There&#8217;s no connection between the size of your breasts and your risk of getting breast cancer. Very large breasts may be harder to examine than small breasts, with clinical breast exams—and even mammograms and MRIs—more difficult to conduct. But all women, regardless of breast size, should commit to routine screenings and checkups.</p>
<p>9. Myth: Breast cancer always comes in the form of a lump.</p>
<p>Reality: A lump may indicate breast cancer (or one of many benign breast conditions), but women should also be on the alert for other kinds of changes that may be signs of cancer. These include swelling; skin irritation or dimpling; breast or nipple pain; nipple retraction (turning inward); redness, scaliness, or thickening of the nipple or breast skin; or a discharge other than breast milk. Breast cancer can also spread to underarm lymph nodes and cause swelling there before a tumor in the breast is large enough to be felt. On the other hand, a mammogram may pick up breast cancer that has no outward symptoms at all.</p>
<p>Women with a rare type of breast cancer called inflammatory breast cancer (IBC) rarely have a breast lump. Symptoms of IBC include swelling, redness, itchiness, or warmth in the breast; tenderness or pain; a change in the nipple, such as retraction; skin that appears thick and pitted like an orange peel or with ridges and small bumps; an area of the breast that looks bruised; or swollen lymph nodes under the arm.</p>
<p>Doctors encourage women to report any changes that they notice in their breasts.</p>
<p>10. Myth: You can&#8217;t get breast cancer after a mastectomy.</p>
<p>Reality: Some women do get breast cancer after a mastectomy, sometimes at the site of the scar. Or the original cancer may have spread. For women at high risk of breast cancer who have their breasts removed as a prophylactic or preventive measure, there&#8217;s still a chance, though a small one, that they can get breast cancer. After prophylactic mastectomy a woman&#8217;s risk for developing breast cancer is reduced by an average of 90%.</p>
<p>11. Myth: Your father&#8217;s family history of breast cancer doesn&#8217;t affect your risk as much as your mother&#8217;s.</p>
<p>Reality: Your father&#8217;s family history of breast cancer is just as important as your mother&#8217;s in understanding your risk. But to find out about the risk stemming from your father&#8217;s side of the family, you need to look primarily at the women; while men do get breast cancer, women are more vulnerable to it. Associated cancers in men (such as early-onset prostate or colon cancer) on either side are also important to factor in when doing a full family-tree risk assessment.</p>
<p>12. Myth: Caffeine causes breast cancer.</p>
<p>Reality: No causal connection has been found between drinking caffeine and getting breast cancer; in fact, some research suggests that caffeine may actually lower your risk. So far it&#8217;s inconclusive whether breast soreness may be linked to caffeine.</p>
<p>13. Myth: If you&#8217;re at risk for breast cancer, there&#8217;s little you can do but watch for the signs.</p>
<p>Reality: There&#8217;s a lot that women can do to lower their risk, including losing weight if they&#8217;re obese, getting regular exercise, lowering or eliminating alcohol consumption, being rigorous about examining their own breasts, and having regular clinical exams and mammograms. Quitting smoking wouldn&#8217;t hurt either. Some high-risk women also choose to have a prophylactic mastectomy to decrease their risk by roughly 90%. They can take other proactive steps such as having regular MRIs, exploring chemoprevention with treatments such as tamoxifen, and participating in clinical trials. The important thing to do if you think you might be at high risk is to talk to an expert who can evaluate your situation and discuss your options. High-risk women&#8217;s clinics and preventive-care programs are great places to start.</p>
<p>14. Myth: Women with lumpy breasts (also known as fibrocystic breast changes) have a higher risk of developing breast cancer.</p>
<p>Reality: In the past, women with lumpy, dense, or fibrocystic breasts were believed to be at higher risk of getting breast cancer, but there doesn&#8217;t appear to be a connection after all. However, when you have lumpy breasts, it can be trickier to differentiate normal tissue from cancerous tissue, so you may experience false alarms. Women with fibrocystic breasts often follow up their mammograms with an ultrasound.</p>
<p>15. Myth: Annual mammograms expose you to so much radiation that they increase your risk of cancer.</p>
<p>Reality: While it&#8217;s true that radiation is used in mammography, the amount is so small that any associated risks are tiny when compared to the huge preventive benefits reaped from the test. Mammograms can detect lumps well before they can be felt or otherwise noticed, and the earlier that lumps are caught, the better one&#8217;s chances for survival. The American Cancer Society recommends that all women age 40 and older receive a screening mammogram every year.</p>
<p>16. Myth: Needle biopsies can disturb cancer cells and cause them to spread to other parts of the body.</p>
<p>Reality: There&#8217;s no conclusive evidence for this claim. Despite some previous concerns, a 2004 study found no increased spread of cancer among patients undergoing needle biopsies compared to those who did not have the procedure.</p>
<p>17. Myth: After heart disease, breast cancer is the nation&#8217;s leading killer of women.</p>
<p>Reality: Breast cancer kills roughly 40,000 women a year in the United States but stroke (96,000 deaths), lung cancer (71,000), and chronic lower respiratory disease (67,000) are each responsible for more deaths annually.</p>
<p>18. Myth: If your mammography report is negative, there is nothing else to worry about.</p>
<p>Reality: Despite their importance for breast cancer screening and diagnosis, mammograms fail to detect around 10% to 20% of breast cancers. This is why clinical breast exams and, to some extent, breast self-exams are crucial pieces of the screening process.</p>
<p>19. Myth: Hair straighteners cause breast cancer in African-American women.</p>
<p>Reality: A large 2007 study funded by the National Cancer Institute found no increase in breast cancer risk due to the use of hair straighteners or relaxers. Study participants included African-American women who had used straighteners seven or more times a year for 20 years or longer.</p>
<p>20. Myth: Removing the entire breast gives you a better chance of surviving cancer than having a lumpectomy with radiation therapy.</p>
<p>Reality: Survival rates are about the same for women who have mastectomies and for women who choose the breast-conserving option of removing only part of the breast and following the surgery with radiation treatments. However, there are some cases—such as with extensive DCIS disease, the presence of BRCA gene mutations, or particularly large tumors—when lumpectomy and radiation may not be an appropriate treatment option.</p>
<p>21. Myth: Overweight women have the same breast cancer risk as other women.</p>
<p>Reality: Being overweight or obese does increase your breast cancer risk—especially if you&#8217;re past menopause and/or you gained the weight later in life.</p>
<p>22. Myth: Fertility treatments increase the risk of getting breast cancer.</p>
<p>Reality: Given estrogen&#8217;s connection to breast cancer, fertility treatments have come under suspicion—most recently when Elizabeth Edwards&#8217;s breast cancer recurred. (She’d previously had fertility treatments.) But several studies have found that these prospective moms are likely to have no higher risk of breast cancer. As yet, no large, long-term, randomized studies have eliminated this concern entirely; it merits more research to find a definite answer.</p>
<p>23. Myth: Living near power lines can cause breast cancer.</p>
<p>Reality: A 2003 study aimed at explaining what appeared to be a high incidence of breast cancer in certain counties on Long Island, N.Y., found no link between the disease and electromagnetic fields emitted by power lines. An earlier study conducted in the Seattle area yielded a similar conclusion. Research into potential environmental risk factors is ongoing.</p>
<p>24. Myth: Having an abortion raises your risk of getting breast cancer.</p>
<p>Reality: Because abortion is believed to disrupt hormone cycles during pregnancy and breast cancer is linked to hormone levels, numerous studies have investigated a causal link—but found no conclusive evidence for one.</p>
<p>25. Myth: Breast cancer is preventable.</p>
<p>Reality: Alas, no. Although it is possible to identify risk factors (such as family history and inherited gene mutations) and make lifestyle changes that can lower your risk (reducing or eliminating alcohol consumption, losing weight, getting regular exercise and screenings, and quitting smoking), roughly 70% of women diagnosed with breast cancer have no identifiable risk factors, meaning that the disease occurs largely by chance and according to as-yet-unexplained factors. It&#8217;s crucial, however, to get regular breast exams and mammograms and always consult with your doctor whenever you notice any changes in your breasts. When identified and caught early enough, breast cancer is treatable and very often beatable.<br />
