Washington (OTL) - A new study has shown that some types of breast cancer may actually go away on their own.

Researchers led by Dr. Per-Henrik Zahl of the Norwegian Institute of Public Health carried out a study to examine Norwegian women.

They looked at invasive breast cancer rates among 120,000 women aged 50 to 64 who had a mammogram.

They were compared to another group of women who did not have the regular breast cancer screenings, but were detected to have the disease.

They found no difference in breast cancer rates, and found hat 22% more invasive breast tumors were discovered in the group who had mammograms every two years.

This shows that it is possible that some types of cancer may actually disappear on their own, an interesting find to say the least.

The study was published in the Archives of Internal Medicine.

Washington (OTL) - The plan is for the space shuttle Endeavour to make its big return to Earth this coming Friday.

Toronto (OTL) - A judge fined a Canadian citizen a whopping $873 million for spamming the social-networking site Facebook.

The citizen, Adam Guerbuez, reportedly sent out 4 million spam e-mail messages to Facebook users.

This is the largest judgment ever handed down for a violation of the federal CAN-SPAM Act.

The spammer and his company Atlantic Blue carried out the spamming in March and April of 2008.

They would use phishing to get login information and then use third parties to send out spam messages.

The messages promoted marijuana, male enhancement drugs, etc.

These messages were then posted by users on Facebook Walls through the spamming.

Facebook sued the man, and will now be repaid.

Beijing (OTL) - Guns N’ Roses have been banned from releasing their new album Chinese Democracy in China.

The album has been under attack in China for quite some time now, and is not going to make it to retail.

The artwork of the album reportedly includes Beijing artist Shi Lifeng’s 2008 oil painting Red Star.

This shows that the people of China are not powerful in any such way.

The album also takes shots at how China is run with an iron fist, and pokes fun at the Chinese communist regime.

Though the album will likely be heard in China due to piracy, it is not going to make it to retail.

The two are also going to share their wedding album with the world as well with the tabloid.

We will have to wait and see if this has any impact at all on the development of next season of The Hills.

Toronto (OTL) - Thousands of inmates in Ontario prisons may have eaten listeria-contaminated meals over the course of at least four days, but so far no illnesses have been reported.

Inmates in at least six Ontario area prison facilities were exposed to listeria monocytogenes earlier this month before tests confirmed the presence of the bacteria in food 11 food samples on November 21. According to Ontario correctional services ministry Stuart McGetrick, the contaminated food would have been consumed by inmates between November 13 and 16, less than a week before routine tests for listeria on food samples yielded a positive result.

The facilities food distributor, owned by Eurest Dining Services and based in Milton, Ontario, was ordered to stop production of food as soon as the test results were in. The company will now be required to begin sanitizing its plant and the equipment inside it.

Symptoms that one has ingested listeria include headaches, vomiting and fever, among other possible side effects, and according to health professionals, usually take between one and three days to appear. Listeria’s incubation period can be as short as three weeks or as long as 70 days. While no inmates have reported any symptoms, they will continue to be monitored.

The Eurest food production facility serves over 4,000 inmates daily in over 30 facilities.

Toronto  - Tired women are now armed with knowledge they can use to justify putting off some of the endless “to do” list tasks they face day in and day out, putting the kids to bed, and just getting some rest.

Researchers at the National Cancer Institute recently released their findings in a study they conducted, reporting that adequate sleep and exercise may reduce the risk of cancer in some women by a significant percentage.
Headed by the Institute’s James McCain, the study included almost 6,000 adult women and was conducted over the course of a decade. Researchers report that women under the age of 65 who get at least seven hours of sleep nightly, paired with at least an hour of exercise during the day, may reduce their risk of cancer by nearly half. The study was presented during a conference at the American Association of Cancer Research.
The idea of reducing the chances of illness through rest and exercise is not a new concept, and the recent study just reinforces what experts have believed for years. While many studies in recent years have shown that rest or exercise separately may play a role in decreasing cancer risk, McCain’s study is unique in that it combines the two factors. The results of the study have been described by McCain as both interesting and intriguing.

(OTL) - A man is seeking at least 3 million dollars in damages after he allegedly forgot his cellphone at McDonald’s and racy pictures of his wife’s rear ended up on the internet. The reason he sees McDonald’s as responsible for the infraction is because he called the restaurant and asked if they had found his cell phone. An employee that he spoke with said that they had found it and would hang onto it until he returned to pick it up. It was after that that the racy pictures showed up on the internet.

The racy photos of the man’s wife were on his cellphone, which is considered private property and tampering with it can be considered an offense depending on the situation. In this case, because the McDonald’s employee had it in his/her possession and the photos ended up online afterwards, they might be liable. His phone was stolen at a McDonald’s restaurant in Arkansas. Because the McDonlald’s employee said that he/she had the phone, the man is suing McDonald’s Corp. due to the embarrassment this has caused him and his wife, and undue suffering that caused them to have to move to a new house.

Phillip Sherman, the man whose phone was stolen has vowed that he will never leave his phone anywhere again after the hardship this has caused his wife and him.

Thus far, no one from McDonald’s has released a statement about the lawsuit. It is due to enter court sometime in the next couple of months for review.
