3 Goals That Will Change Your Life This Year

There's A Good Chance Brunch Increased Your Risk Of Getting Cancer

Eating two slices of bacon — or one sausage — a day can increase a person's risk of developing pancreatic cancer by 19 percent, a study out of Sweden has found.

Pancreatic cancer kills 80 percent of people in under a year of being diagnosed; only 5 percent of patients are still alive after five years, according to The Guardian

Eating 1.8 ounces of processed meat every day — the equivalent to one sausage or two rashers of bacon — increases the risk by 19 percent, and the risk goes up if a person eats more, the paper cites experts from the "respected" Karolinska Institute in Stockholm, Sweden, as saying.

The findings after examining data from 11 studies, including 6,643 cases of pancreatic cancer, were published in the British Journal of Cancer.

"Pancreatic cancer has poor survival rates," the Daily Mail quoted Susanna Larsson from the Karolinska Institutet in Stockholm as saying. "So it's important to understand what can increase the risk of this disease."

Fox News cited experts as saying the overall risk of pancreatic cancer was relatively low. Most people have only a 1.4 percent chance of getting pancreatic cancer, reported Dr. Richard Besser, ABC News's senior health and medical editor.  “If you have a serving of processed meat per day, your risk would go up to 1.7 percent; still very small.”

It is dubbed "the silent killer," as it often does not produce symptoms — such as back pain, loss of appetite and weight loss — in the early stages, according to ANI, which adds that:

Little is known about its causes other than that smoking, excess alcohol and being overweight all seem to contribute.

The risk posed by eating meat was substantially lower than for smoking, found to increase the likelihood of pancreatic cancer by 74 percent, according to the reports.

Meanwhile, ordinary red meat, like steak, reportedly increases a man’s chance of getting the cancer, but not a woman’s.

Scroll through the slideshow above to see what public figures have been diagnosed with pancreatic cancer.

This Is Your 60 Second Guide To Getting Perfect Credit


watch clock stopwatch time

About 1% of the population has perfect credit, meaning a FICO score of 850 on Fair Isaac's scale of 300 to 850. How they earned those gold stars is no secret. A quick peek into their credit files reveals that these star pupils haven't got any fancy tricks up their sleeves. Instead, they share such ho-hum traits as:

  • Between four and six revolving accounts (meaning credit cards).
  • At least one "installment" tradeline (e.g., a mortgage or auto loan) in good standing.
  • A few accounts around 20 years old with a long history of positive use. (To get into the 800 range, you need 10 years of positive account history.)
  • Around 30 years of credit use.
  • No late payments (or other account blunders) for at least the past seven years.
  • Very few credit inquiries (no more than one to three in a six-month period).
  • No derogatory notations -- collections, bankruptcies, or bad accessorizing. (Just kidding on that last one.)
  • Debt levels on credit accounts of less than 35% of their overall credit limit.

Enough gawking, let's cheat off their homework! Here's a one-minute crash course on keeping your credit healthy for life:

0:60: See what everyone's saying about you
Three major credit-reporting agencies are keeping tabs on your financial comings and goings, and so should you. At least once a year (and certainly several months before entering any major loan situation), go to annualcreditreport.com and pull your rap sheetsfrom Equifax, Experian and TransUnion. (You get one freebie from each bureau once a year.)

0:52: Fix the typos
Given that your credit record spans nearly a decade of your borrowing activity, it's no surprise that errors sometimes turn up. Some common credit-reporting blunders include out-of-date addresses, closed accounts being shown as open, and outright false information.

0:40: Mend your uncreditworthy ways, ASAP
Those self-inflicted credit wounds (like a history of late payments, defaults, and generally bad behavior -- think back to your freshman year in college) will fade from your record over time. (You cannot wipe out accurate information from your credit report. Nor can any firms who offer to do so for a fee.) Since your most recent behavior carries more weight than old news, vow that from this day forward you will be a financial Goody Two-shoes.

0:25: Memorize the mantra: It's plastic, not cash
credit card is just that -- a credit card. Even though you've been deemed worthy by some entity (Target, Visa, The Puppy Palace) to borrow $34,538, you don't actually have $34,538 to spend, which leads naturally to the next rule ...

0:19: Ignore bankers' rules on what is an "acceptable" level of debt
Your debt-to-income ratio is the measure of how much debt you carry to how much money (after taxes) you have coming in. In the world of lending, it is acceptable to carry 25% of your income in debt. That ratio is pretty high in our opinion. At the very least you want to keep your debt -- including car loans -- to 15% or less of your after-tax income.

0:07: Lather, rinse and repeat
Based on what's in the Bo-Derek-of-borrowers' files, you can see that fancy maneuvers aren't necessary to keep your credit looking spiffy. Just keep your spending under control, pay your bills on time, don't apply for extra credit too often -- and don't be shocked when you find yourself among those with elite credit-score status.

Are You Ready For Sexy Pepper Spray Cop Perfume?


pepper spray cop adrianne curry erox

None of this is going to make any sense whatsoever, but here goes: Social forum provider CrowdGather is launching a unisex perfume, Erox, made of human pheromones that purport to induce sexual arousal in both men and women. 

The niche-interest social networking company believes it should branch into the fragrance business because Erox "actually makes people more social" (geddit?).

To market the perfume, Crowdgather has hired former America's Top Model and occasional reality TV participant Adrianne Curry to star in ads. This one (right) shows her dressed in a "sexy pepper spray cop" outfit, inspired by the police officer at U.C. Davis who casually doused Occupy protesters with orange irritant.

It gets better.

The company has also published a small comic in which Curry helps the original, mustachioed Pepper Spray Cop disperse a protesting crowd. The activists won't leave, but after Curry casually sprays them with Erox they are overcome by passion and forget what they were complaining about.

If you look closely at the second to last panel of the cartoon, you'll spot Pepper Spray Cop engaged in a cologne-induced gay kiss.

So, just to recap: it's a fragrance with a social networking theme being advertised by Adrianne Curry in an Occupy Wall Street spoof.

How did this idea ever make it out of the conference room?
