Netbooks are still big business for Asustek. So much so that the hotness from 2009 outsold Asus tablets in 2011. Per numbers released at the company's global sales meeting (and relayed by Digitimes), Asustek expects to ship 4.8 netbooks by the end of 2011 but only 1.8 million tablets. But that's expected to change in 2012. The roles will be reversed and Asus sees big things for next year.Source: http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/Techcrunch/~3/dfWzKQzgUKw/

FRIDAY, Dec. 2 (HealthDay News) -- People who have been diagnosed with colon cancer have a poorer prognosis if they're obese or have type 2 diabetes, new research suggests.
Two new studies that looked at the impact that body-mass index (BMI) and a diagnosis of type 2 diabetes had on survival rates after a colon cancer diagnosis found that both factors influence whether or not someone survives colorectal cancer. In addition, both studies found that deaths from any cause, including heart disease, were also increased in those who were obese or had type 2 diabetes.
Results of the studies were published online in the Journal of Clinical Oncology.
"The message here is to avoid obesity and type 2 diabetes because they have negative health outcomes. We don't know for sure that losing weight or increasing physical activity will help, but we know they're good for trying to avoid other diseases, like cardiovascular disease, that can come up down the road," said Dr. Jeffrey Meyerhardt, author of an accompanying editorial in the same journal, and an associate professor of medicine at the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute and Harvard Medical School in Boston.
There are more than 1 million people who've survived a colon cancer diagnosis living in the United States, and mortality from colorectal cancer has gone down over the past two decades, according to background information in the studies.
And, while previous research has linked a higher BMI and type 2 diabetes to the development of colorectal cancer in the first place, it hasn't been clear how these factors influence the course of colorectal cancer once someone has been diagnosed.
The first study included 2,303 people involved in an ongoing study that began in 1992. Between that time and 2007, the study participants had been diagnosed with colorectal cancer. Follow-up continued through December 2008.
During the study, 851 people with colorectal cancer died. Of those, 380 died as a result of colorectal cancer, while 153 died of heart disease, according to the study. The remaining 318 people died of other causes.
The risk of all-cause mortality was 30 percent higher for people who were considered obese at the start of the study vs. those of a normal weight. The risk of dying from colorectal cancer was 35 percent higher, and the risk of dying from heart disease was 68 percent higher.
Meyerhardt explained that the researchers tried to adjust the data for important factors, such as physical activity, red meat intake (a known risk factor for colorectal cancer), family history and blood pressure levels. Even after adjusting the data, obesity increased the risk of dying.
"In and of itself, obesity does seem to have some effect," Meyerhardt said.
In the second study, researchers recruited 2,278 people who'd been diagnosed with non-metastatic colon or rectal cancer between 1992 and 2007. In this group, there were 842 deaths. Of those, 377 were from colorectal cancer and 152 were from heart disease, according to the study.
People with type 2 diabetes had a 53 percent higher risk of dying from any cause and a 29 percent higher risk of dying from colorectal cancer compared to people without type 2 diabetes. The risk of dying from heart disease was 2.16 times higher in people with type 2 diabetes and nearly four times higher in people with type 2 diabetes who used insulin, compared with people without type 2 diabetes, the study found.
"Insulin use in type 2 diabetes usually indicates longer-standing diabetes, which is usually associated with worse outcomes," Meyerhardt noted.
Obesity, elevated body-mass index and diabetes are associated with worse disease states across the board," said Dr. David Bernstein, chief of gastroenterology at North Shore University Hospital in Manhasset, N.Y. "But, we don't know if you lose weight if that risk will go down. I don't counsel patients who've been diagnosed with colorectal cancer to lose weight, because weight loss tends to be a worry in people undergoing cancer treatment anyway. I do counsel my patients that haven't been diagnosed with cancer to lose weight. The medical community needs to spend more time counseling prevention."
Meyerhardt added that it's also not clear from these studies whether or not obese people or those with type 2 diabetes would benefit from changes in the treatment they receive for colorectal cancer.

COMMENTARY | Polls show that as many as a third of all Americans identify themselves as moderate or centrist, yet the candidates for public office seem to be getting more extreme every election cycle.
I have always considered myself a fiscal conservative and a social liberal. I am in favor of balancing the budget and reducing spending, but not of gutting social services to do it. I also favor equal rights for same sex couples and basically staying out of other people's bedrooms.
Who's my candidate? You'd think the major parties would care, but all the fury centers around which contender can capture the evangelical Christian vote. What about those of us - of all races, genders and socioeconomic classes - who want to see lawmakers take a well-reasoned, balanced approach to solving the serious problems we face today?
I usually vote for some Democrats and some Republicans, but frankly, I find most of those vying for the Republican presidential nomination alarmingly inappropriate. Some of these guys can barely put a coherent thought together, and yes, Mr. Cain, it is necessary to have a thorough knowledge of international affairs to be president.
I shudder to think what would happen if some of these guys became president. But where are the good alternatives? It seems that most intelligent, rational and capable individuals don't want the job. Who can blame them?
The extremists play the part of the squeaky wheel, shouting down the voices of reason. It's not in the nature of moderates to be that loud. We're the mediators, the problem-solvers, the ones who try to facilitate positive solutions.
Question: How can you tell when things are running smoothly? Answer: You don't notice them.
I'd like to see one of the six House Republicans who refused to sign Grover Norquist's tax pledge run for President. How about Frank Wolf? He's one of the few Republicans to vote against making the Bush era tax cuts permanent. Here's a guy who understands that fiscal responsibility means considering both increases in taxes and decreases in spending to balance the budget. I don't agree with everything in his voting record, but it's better than most.
As the percentage of moderate voters grows, perhaps we will gain enough political clout to convince the major parties that the middle ground is where creative solutions spring to life. It's time they started to care what we think.

Our top moments of the week:
12. Better Late Than Never Award: Con man Frank O'Hara (special guest star William Shatner) has spent most of his daughter's life on the run. So when he returns to town on Psych to try to redeem himself with Juliet in time for her 30th birthday, she is obviously skeptical. But Frank does what he does best to win her back: He figures out a way to deliver the bad guys to the front door of the police station. "It was a good plan, dad," Juliet tells him. "It was the least I could do," he responds. Well, there's also the little matter of what he's going to get her for her birthday. Bigger is better, dad.
11. Best Acceptance: Max Braverman, who suffers from Aspergers, has always been a handful, but when he runs away and returns unfazed about the stress his disappearance has caused his family, older sister Haddie finally snaps at him on Parenthood. She apologizes to her dad afterward and tells him it's fine, before changing her statement (slightly). "I guess it's not fine, but it is the way that it is." Yes, growing up sucks, but if only we all could do it as gracefully as Haddie.
10. Worst Rejection: After being forced out of the closet by a local politician playing dirty, Santana slowly begins to embrace her sexuality on Glee, going as far as to tell her parents, who accept her for who she is. Unfortunately, her beloved abuela has no such reaction. Instead of opening her arms, she tells her granddaughter that she should have kept her sexuality a secret and kicks her out of the house for good. Dang, Lima Heights-adjacent is a rough neighborhood.
9. It's About Time Award: Terra Nova finally gains momentum by not only revealing who the mole was, but also why she is betraying the colony. Until now, we thought Skye's mother had succumbed to fever. But no, her mom has been hiding out with the Sixers ? who are the only ones who have the cure ? in exchange for Skye's intel on the colony, of course. We're supposed to feel sad about this, right?
8. Best Double Hit: On Ringer, Bridget and Andrew agree to pay Charlie ransom in exchange for Gemma, but the drop-off goes awry when Charlie spots cops circling. Angry and impatient, he shoots Gemma dead -- or so he thinks. He inexplicably misses (uh, you were, like, less than a foot away from her) and when Gemma tries to escape, Charlie shoots her dead, for real this time. But just as he's cleaning up his mess, Siobhan ? who had ordered Charlie to kidnap Gemma ? arrives to clean up hers: She kills Charlie with the same gun and makes the whole thing look like a murder-suicide.
7. Best Power Play: Even with Clay's life hanging in the balance, this week's Sons of Anarchy belonged to the ladies battling for Jax's heart. Gemma finally tells Jax (most of) the truth about Clay's involvement in John's death and urges him to off SAMCRO's president and take his rightful seat at the head of the table. Meanwhile, Tara gives Jax a syringe of blood thinner that will discreetly end Clay's life so that Jax, Tara and their boys can ride off into the sunset. For now, it looks like Tara's winning: "He's mine," she sneers at Gemma.
6. Saddest Twist of Fate: Annoyed with Jimmy's debt repayment on Boardwalk Empire, Manny sets out to kill him. After breaking into Jimmy's house and holding his wife Angela hostage, the crime boss shoots the figure who exits the bathroom ? except it's not Jimmy, but Louise, Angela's lover. Angela begs for her life, but Manny shows no mercy and turns his gaffe into an opportunity. "The most important thing in life, darling ? your health. Your husband did this to you," he says, before shooting her in the head ? twice. R.I.P., Angela.
5. Worst Reveal: Sometimes we don't want to be right. After finding Travis passed out in the Doomsday Killer's church lair on Dexter, Dex is convinced Professor Gellar is behind it and makes his way down the basement, where he sees a freezer. He opens it to discover a frozen Gellar, confirming what has been glaringly obvious all season long: Travis is acting alone and Gellar has been dead this whole time since he never interacted with anyone else. The inept, anticlimactic reveal is yet another reminder of how far the show's fallen. Unfortunately, it's not going anywhere.
4. Harshest Critics: Kids always tell you how they really feel ? sometimes without any words at all. Take Michael Jackson's kids, Prince, Paris and Blanket, who look like they'd rather be anywhere else than at their dad's tribute night on The X Factor. While the hopefuls labor to kiss up to the Jackson clan, the kids are visibly unimpressed with the theatrics, staring blankly and unwilling to crack even the slightest of smiles. How bored are they? When Steve Jones tries to make small talk with Paris, Prince is listening to something else with his earbuds. Honestly, we don't blame you, kid.
3. Toughest Choice: After second-guessing himself all season, The Walking Dead's Rick proves he can still make the tough choices when it matters. When madman Shane, spurned by Lori, goes all trigger-happy on the walkers in Hershel's barn, Rick simply looks on as Darryl, Andrea and T-Dog join in on the zombie massacre. But when little Sophia ? for whom the group has been looking all season ? comes staggering out of the barn as a zombie, Rick is the only one willing to step forward and put her out of her misery. We just wonder how long that decision will haunt Rick.
2. Most Alarming News: Brian Williams remained as unflappable as ever when a fire alarm blared during his Tuesday Nightly News broadcast, but Jon Stewart is not exactly amused by Williams' calm and cool demeanor. "Weren't you a volunteer fireman? Fire alarm goes off in the studio and your example to the kids is, 'Stay on prompter'?" Stewart jokes on The Daily Show. "'Hey, kids, when faced with a fire, stop, drop, and be handsome.' No!" But Williams exacts revenge on his pal by interrupting Stewart's following segment with a bullhorn alarm. "Not so funny, is it, funnyman?" Let that be a lesson to us all: Never mess with BriWi.
1. Grossest Series of "Healthy" Events: We expected the biggest train wreck on the season premiere of Kourtney and Kim Take New York to be Kim and Kris's failed relationship, but we were wrong! Instead, Kourtney, who's, like, totally on a health kick, decides to take her healthy lifestyle to a new level ? like to the point where she eats kale chips, gets an oil enema (on screen!) and takes naked yoga classes. And we thought Kim's sex tape was TMI!
