Trichet says "crisis not over" (Reuters)
BERLIN (Reuters) ? European Central Bank President Jean-Claude Trichet said in an interview in a German newspaper to be published on Sunday that the euro zone sovereign debt crisis was not yet over and that it was too early for the all-clear signal.
In an interview to appear in Sunday's Bild am Sonntag newspaper, Trichet said that he was, however, confident that euro zone governments would be able to restore financial stability provided the bloc's Stability Pact rules are comprehensively and more aggressively enforced.
Trichet said the agreements reached by European Union leaders this week need to be enacted in a very precise and quick manner. He called it "absolutely decisive" that those decisions are quickly and completely enacted.
He said the ECB will carefully track the progress of governments' reform measures and said the time had now come to "see some action."
"The crisis isn't over," Trichet told the German newspaper, according to an advance text released early on Saturday.
"But after the decisions made this week, I'm nevertheless confident that the governments will succeed in restoring financial stability," said Trichet in one of the final interviews of his term leading the ECB.
He said the precondition for that was "that the rules of the Stability and Growth Pact are more thoroughly and more aggressively implemented."
Trichet said: "The decisions reached at the summit need a very precise and timely implementation. The euro zone's government leaders have a program, now hard work awaits the governments and European Commission.
"The quick and complete implementation of the decisions is now absolutely decisive," Trichet said.
"The quick and complete enaction of the decisions is now absolutely decisive," he added.
Trichet said that the ECB would track the process closely.
"We now need to see some action," he said.

Pink Floyd member's son loses jail term appeal (AP)
LONDON ? Appeal court judges on Friday upheld the 16-month jail sentence given to the son of Pink Floyd guitarist David Gilmour for a violent rampage during student protests last year.
Charlie Gilmour was one of thousands who demonstrated in December against rising university tuition fees and was among a group that broke away from the main demonstration and attacked a convoy carrying Prince Charles and his wife, Camilla. At Gilmour's trial earlier this year, a judge said Gilmour had jumped on the hood of a Jaguar in the royal motorcade and thrown a garbage can at the car.
Gilmour also kicked a store window, stole the leg of a mannequin and was photographed hanging from a Union flag on the Cenotaph, a memorial to British war dead.
The 21-year-old Cambridge University student, who has been in jail since July, pleaded guilty to violent disorder but challenged the length of his sentence.
But three appeals judges said the sentence was neither "manifestly excessive (nor) wrong in principle."
"We do not believe that violence in this context and of the kind displayed by this defendant can normally be met by other than significant sentences of immediate custody even for those of otherwise good character," said one of the three, Anthony Hughes.

Europe bailout fund chief sees no quick China deal (Reuters)
BEIJING (Reuters) ? The head of Europe's bailout fund said Friday he does not expect to reach a conclusive deal with Chinese leaders during a visit to Beijing but expects the surplus-rich country to continue buying bonds issued by the fund.
Klaus Regling, chief executive of the European Financial Stability Facility (EFSF), said the bailout deal with Greece was an exceptional case and he saw no need to repeat it for other nations.
"We all know China has a particular need to invest surpluses," he said at a news conference, referring to the country's foreign exchange reserves of $3.2 trillion -- the world's biggest stockpile.
China has been a regular buyer of bonds issued by the EFSF and analysts estimate about a quarter of its reserves are held in euro-denominated assets.
Regling was in Beijing just a day after euro zone leaders struck a last-minute deal to contain the bloc's debt crisis that has undermined financial markets globally on fears that it could drag the global economy into another recession.
European leaders are now under pressure to finalize the details of their plan to slash Greece's debt burden and strengthen their efforts to revive the zone.
Regling was due to meet officials from China's central bank and finance ministry Friday. While China has surplus cash, Regling said he is in contact with sovereign funds globally.
He said the EFSF was designing new investment instruments and testing models to scale up the fund. He wanted to hear how the fund could structure investments that would attract capital, he said.
The 440-billion-euro EFSF was set up last year and has already been used to provide aid to Portugal, Ireland and Greece.
After the Brussels summit, governments announced a deal under which private banks and insurers would accept 50 percent losses on their Greek debt holdings and hard-hit European banks would be recapitalized. Regling said Tier-1 capital at large European banks would be raised temporarily to 9 percent.
They also said the EFSF would be leveraged to give it firepower of some 1 trillion euros to put a safety net under bigger euro zone states, such as Spain and Italy and prevent them from being swept up by the crisis.
European officials have said the leverage would be achieved either by offering insurance to buyers of euro zone debt in the primary market or via a new special purpose investment vehicle that it hopes would draw funds from China and Brazil, among other countries.
Beijing has not said publicly it would invest in the fund, although it has repeatedly expressed confidence that Europe can overcome its two-year-old debt crisis.
"I think the EFSF can offer a good product that is commercially interesting," Regling said, adding that China should be assured that the EFSF's triple-A rating is solid.
When asked if China was asking for any special concessions in return for its support, Regling said Beijing hadn't done so.
"When they buy our bonds, they buy the same bonds as everybody buys," he said. "There is no special deal and so it is normal conditions and we published those conditions on our website."
Chinese President Hu Jintao said China hoped the measures agreed in Brussels would help stabilize the euro zone.
Chinese leaders have a major interest in Europe's fortunes because the euro bloc is China's biggest export market. Growth in September exports to the euro zone ran at less than half the rate of August, underlining concern that the region may already be in recession.
Analysts had said they expected China to maintain an investment strategy in Europe that focuses on specific countries and specific assets.
That would support its attempts to diversify foreign exchange reserves and also make it easier to negotiate concessions on its investments.

Large Scale Hacks: U.S. satellites infiltrated for 12 minutes (Yahoo! News)
This has to be some of the most ambitious hacking we've seen
It's one thing for hackers to target a video game network or newspaper website, but setting sights on United States government satellites is an entirely different situation. A new report released by Congress shows that's exactly what has been happening, as two separate orbiters have seen a total of 4 attacks since 2007. Some breaches managed to interfere with the NASA's hardware for up to 12 minutes.
Officials believe that the attacks originated from a satellite station located in Norway. Hackers near the facility are thought to have tapped into the building's internet connection from the outside, using it to gain access to the highly sensitive hardware orbiting earth. The report stated that the attackers never took full control of the satellites, and most of the key details of how the hack was achieved are being kept secret.
The satellites that were targeted are part of a joint effort between NASA and the U.S. Geological Survey to monitor weather and terrain changes. It's unclear what the hackers sought to gain by poking around inside the orbiters, but the fact that they were able to successfully breach such a high-profile piece of technology should serve as a reminder that digital security needs to be taken very seriously.

Probable WWII submarine found off Papua New Guinea (AP)
CANBERRA, Australia ? A wreck found under water in a Papua New Guinea harbor likely was a Japanese midget submarine from World War II, a historian said Friday.
Australian and New Zealand warships found it while working in the area to clear WWII-era explosives Thursday. Simpson Harbor is in the town of Rabaul, which was a major Japanese military base on the northeast coast of the South Pacific nation.
New Zealand Navy Lt. Commander Matthew Ray told Australian Broadcasting Corp. radio the find was initially identified as "a 20-meter (66-feet) long solid, manmade object." Closer inspection confirmed it was a submarine, although its nationality was not yet known, he said.
The only submarines involved in fighting around Rabaul were U.S. and Japanese, and both sides have accounted for most, if not all, of their subs in the area, said Gary Oakley, a Australian War Memorial curator and a former submariner.
As Rabaul was Japan's major base in the Southwest Pacific for most of the war, most of the submarines in the harbor had been Japanese. Previously known submarine wrecks in the harbor were also Japanese, he said.
"My best guess would be it's a Japanese midget submarine. It doesn't look big enough to be an ocean-going ... submarine," Oakley said after examining indistinct images of the wreck released by the Australian Defense Department.
One- and two-man Japanese midget submarines were transported by ship or larger submarines and used covertly to infiltrate enemy targets including Pearl Harbor in Hawaii and Sydney Harbor.
Such a submarine could have been destroyed by an American air raid or naval bombardment or even scuttled by the Japanese toward the end of the war, Oakley said.
Ray said underwater remote-controlled vehicles with cameras will be used to try to identify the wreck.
The Japanese government had no immediate comment, pending the outcome of the Australian investigation.
Oakley said it could be the first Australian submarine lost in World War I, although that submarine, AE1, was thought to have sunk in another harbor 12 miles (20 kilometers) away.
AE1 became the first Australian naval loss of the war when it sank on Sept. 15, 1914, with the loss of 35 lives. Rabaul was then the capital of the German New Guineau colony, which was quickly lost to the British.

SARAJEVO, Bosnia-Herzegovina (AP) ? A man armed with hand grenades and an automatic weapon opened fire outside the U.S. Embassy in Bosnia Friday in what authorities called a terrorist attack. A policeman and the gunman were wounded, but the embassy said none of its employees was hurt.
Sarajevo Mayor Alija Behmen said the gunman "got off a tram with a Kalashnikov and started shooting at the American Embassy." Witnesses told Bosnian television that the man urged pedestrians to move away, saying he was targeting only the embassy.
He wore a beard and was dressed in an outfit with short pants that reveal his ankles ? typical for followers of the conservative Wahhabi branch of Islam.
One police officer guarding the building was wounded before police surrounded the gunman. After a 30-minute standoff, the sound of a single shot echoed and AP video showed the shooter slump to the ground.
Police arrested the wounded man ? who one of Bosnia's three presidents said is a foreigner ? and took him away in an ambulance as pedestrians cowered behind buildings and vehicles. Hospital spokeswoman Biljana Jandric told The Associated Press the gunman had a minor wound to his leg, and would spend the night at the hospital before being released into police custody.
State Prosecutor Dubravko Campara identified the shooter as Mevlid Jasarevic, from Novi Pazar, the administrative capital of the southern Serbian region of Sandzak, who was tried in Austria for robbery in 2005.
Campara said Jasarevic had crossed the Serbian border into Bosnia Friday morning. He said Jasarevic had two hand grenades with him when he was arrested and is also currently under investigation by Serbian police, but did not detail why.
Serbian Interior Minister Ivica Dacic confirmed his identity and said he is 23 years old. Bosnian TV said Jasarevic is a Wahhabi follower.
The Wahhabis are an extremely conservative branch which is rooted in Saudi Arabia and linked to religious militants in parts of Afghanistan and Pakistan.
Western intelligence reports have alleged that the tense, impoverished area of Sandzak, along with Muslim-dominated regions in Bosnia, are rich ground for recruiting so-called "white al-Qaida" ? Muslims with Western features who could easily blend into European or U.S. cities and carry out attacks.
The Islamic extremists joined Bosnia's 1992-95 war for independence. They were largely tolerated by the U.S. and the West because of their opposition to late Serbia's strongman Slobodan Milosevic's quest to create "Greater Serbia" out of the former Yugoslav republics.
In Washington, State Department spokeswoman Victoria Nuland said several bullets struck the outside wall of the embassy, but that all embassy personnel were safe. She said the wounded police officer had been assigned to protect the embassy. Ambassador Patrick Moon expressed his gratitude for the swift response by the police.
"Our thoughts and prayers at this time are with those who put their lives on the line to protect the embassy," Nuland told reporters.
Bakir Izetbegovic, one of Bosnia's three presidents, issued a statement condemning "the terrorist attack on the embassy of the United States."
"The United States is a proven friend of Bosnia-Herzegovina. Its government and its people supported us in the most difficult moments in our history and nobody has the right to jeopardize our relations," he said.
Zeljko Komsic, chairman of Bosnia's presidency, said told AP that authorities have not yet determined whether the attack "was the act of an individual, or something organized."
"But whatever it was, it is not just an attack on the U.S. Embassy or the U.S., it is also an attack on Bosnia and Herzegovina," he said.
Bosnian Muslims are extremely protective of their relations with the U.S. because it was the driving force behind NATO military intervention and brokered a peace agreement that ended Bosnia's war.
The head of Bosnia's Islamic Community, Mustafa Ceric, condemned the attack late Friday, and said "the attack on the U.S. Embassy is an attack on us."
"We will confront every individual or group that jeopardizes the peace and security in this city and this country," he said in a statement.
Serbian police said Jasarevic was briefly arrested a year ago for brandishing "a large knife" during a visit by the U.S. Ambassador to Serbia and other Western envoys to Novi Pazar.

Nervo's Video Shoot For 'We're All No One' Was 'Scary'
'It was the first-ever video that we've been in, so we didn't know what to expect,' Mim tells MTV News.
By Christina Garibaldi
Mim and Liv of Nervo

Aussie twins Nervo (Liv and Mim) have made quite a name for themselves as one of the most-sought-after DJ duos in dance music. They've written hit songs for some of the biggest artists in the business (Ke$ha, David Guetta, Kylie Minogue) and spent their summer as an opening act on Britney Spears' Femme Fatale Tour.
Now it's their turn to step up to the mic. Last month, the sister duo dropped "We're All No One," the first single they've released through Astralwerks/EMI and the first major-label release on which the girls show off their vocal skills.
The song, which features superstar DJs Afrojack and Steve Aoki, may seem like a departure for the girls, but fear not Nervo fans: That's how they planned it.
"We really wanted our first record through Astralwerks to be different to everything that we've done for other artists," Mim explained. "And we also wanted the collaboration aspect to be with the people within our family."
Last week, the video for "We're All No One," directed by DJ Skeet, premiered on MTVu and MTV's new dance-music hour, "Clubland," and on Monday, the girls stopped by MTV News' studio to talk about the finished product.
"It was kind of scary because it was the first-ever video that we've been in, so we didn't know what to expect," Mim said. "But in the end, there was a little bit of back-and-forth — 'Can we change this?' 'Can we do this?' — but we are happy with the end result." This carefree video features the girls hanging out with their friends, cruising the streets on their bikes and in cars, and finishing it all off with a late-night pool party. It seems like the perfect way to spend a laid-back summer day, but according to these girls, looks can be deceiving.
"It was so boiling," Liv said of the extreme heat during the shoot. "It must have been like, I'm not really good with Fahrenheit, but it must have been like 130 [degrees] or something in that car." Mim added, "In the car was unbearable. Not unbearable, almost unbearable because there was no air-conditioning, obviously because it was an old car, and we were shooting at a time of day when it was quite warm."
The girls weren't the only ones that suffered in the heat: Both Afrojack and Steve Aoki made cameos in the video as well. "We're like, 'Guys, can you be in the video?' " Liv recalled. "And we wanted it to be something that they would be comfortable doing.
Like a cameo role, but not them DJing because we all DJ, and none of us are actors. But Steve did an amazing job as the actor in the department store, and Afrojack is just really cool driving a car. It suits him."
What do you think of the "We're All No One" video? Let us know in the comments.

Nokia's first Windows Phones see light of day
Nokia
Nokia introduced the Lumia smartphone line today, the first of its global wave of phones powered by Microsoft's Windows Phone platform. Living up to Nokia's reputation, the phones are bold, beautiful ? and not yet available in the United States.
(Msnbc.com is a joint venture of Microsoft and NBC Universal.)
Both the Lumia 800 and Lumia 710 have 3.7-inch AMOLED touchscreens and 1.4GHz processors with graphics processor, but the 800 is metal, with a curved glass front. It's so smooth, you hardly know where the metal ends and the glass begins. As the flagship, the 800 comes with an 8-megapixel camera, and will cost a pretty penny: 420 Euros, or about $585 unsubsidized.
Nokia
The junior 710 is plastic, with interchangeable backplates of varying colors, and has only a 5-megapixel camera. As such, it will cost far less, 270 Euros, or $376.
That is, if you can get it. The good news is, Nokia will roll out the phone in many markets in 2011, starting with?France, Germany, Italy, the Netherlands, Spain and the UK in November. By year end, it should also be in?Hong Kong, India, Russia, Singapore and Taiwan. But while it will come to "further markets" in 2012, there's no word on U.S. availability.
In addition to the broad range of Windows Phone functionality, Nokia will add some software of its own, most notably its well-regarded mapping and navigation apps. Nokia Maps and Nokia Drive will be included for free, providing walk and drive navigation for over 100 countries. There will also be a public transportation app that tracks buses, trains and other services in 430 cities worldwide.
From the beginning of the rumors about the Nokia-Microsoft partnership, nearly a year ago, we've thought of this as a good pairing. Nokia had a terrible smartphone OS, and Microsoft needed a massive global partner willing to go exclusive with Windows Phone. Nokia needs more presence in the U.S., and Microsoft needs to gain ground in areas not already saturated with Android and iPhone.
Pretty hardware, and an up-to-date operating system in Windows Phone 7.5 (a.k.a. Mango), are a great start, though we'll see if it's enough to give Windows Phone real momentum before Windows 8 arrives. That operating system should give Windows Phone an added boost, as it shares much of the design language and developer tools.
Nokia also announced a line of low-end phones, the Asha series, powered by the Nokia Browser operating system. More info on all of the Nokia phones here.

Gaddafi son offers to surrender to Hague: Libyans (Reuters)
TRIPOLI (Reuters) ? Saif al-Islam Gaddafi wants to turn himself in to the Hague war crimes court, a senior Libyan official told Reuters on Wednesday.
On the run in the desert, fearing for his life after his father was captured and slain and despairing of any safe haven across an African border, the 39-year-old who many once assumed would inherit dynastic power from Muammar Gaddafi now saw a Dutch prison cell as his best option, the official said.
With him was his relative, former intelligence chief Abdullah al-Senussi, the third man indicted along with the two Gaddafis by the International Criminal Court (ICC) after their crackdown on the popular revolt that began in February.
"They are proposing a way to hand themselves over to The Hague," said Abdel Majid Mlegta, a senior military official for the National Transitional Council. NTC forces toppled Gaddafi in August and overran his hometown and final bastion of Sirte a week ago, capturing the fallen strongman, who was then killed.
An ICC spokesman said it had no confirmation of any talks.
It had hoped to try Muammar Gaddafi himself for crimes against humanity, although Libya's NTC also wanted to have him face justice at home. In the event, the 69-year-old was seized by NTC fighters who filmed themselves beating him before he died, although it remains unclear who finally killed him.
His rotting corpse was displayed to the public for four days before being buried in a secret desert grave on Tuesday.
Mlegta, citing intelligence sources, said Saif al-Islam, whose British education and talk of liberal reforms once put him at the heart of a rapprochement between his father and the West, was somewhere in the Libyan Sahara far to the south, trying to get an unnamed country to broker a deal with the ICC.
With Senussi, he had contemplated escape into either Algeria, which has taken in his mother, sister and two brothers, or to Niger, where another brother found refuge. However, Mlegta said: "They feel that it is not safe for them to stay where they are or to go anywhere."
Further confirmation of the fugitives' situation was not immediately possible. Mlegta said that, despite the Gaddafi family being assumed to have great wealth hidden away, Saif al-Islam lacked the funds to buy safe passage into Niger.
TRANSFORMATION
The transformation of Saif al-Islam's image, from that of a relaxed, English-speaking pragmatist into a maker of blood-curdling threats against the "rats" who rose up against his father, saw him join the elder Gaddafi on the ICC wanted list.
His flight and possible capture may not extinguish opposition to the NTC, which on Sunday declared Libya "liberated" after 42 years of Gaddafi's rule and is now working toward forming a government that can hold free elections.
At the pro-Gadaffi tribal stronghold of Bani Walid, where a captive aide to Saif al-Islam told Reuters Gaddafi's son was hiding until last week, tribesmen incensed by retribution from NTC forces warned they were readying an insurgency.
"The Warfalla tribe is boiling inside. They can't wait to do something about this," Abu Abdurakhman, a local resident, said during a tour of his house destroyed by what he said was a revenge attack by anti-Gaddafi forces.
"The Warfalla men of Tripoli and elsewhere are sending around text messages saying: 'We need to gather and do something about this. Let's gather! Let's gather!'"
Libya lacks the sectarian divide and proximity to competing regional powers that turned U.S.-occupied Iraq into a killing ground after the overthrow of Saddam Hussein in 2003.
But it is awash with weaponry and with long-standing regional and ethnic rivalries and resentments that could prolong instability as its new leaders and their foreign allies seek to invest in exploiting Libya's big oil and gas reserves.
SAIF AL-ISLAM
On a pro-Gadaffi website, Zangetna.com, supporters declared: "We promise you, martyred leader, that we will follow your path and we swear to the creator of heaven and earth the blood of martyrs will not be shed in vain." They swore allegiance to "the holy warrior" Saif al-Islam Muammar Gaddafi, calling on him to lead them.
An account of the younger Gaddafi's last days in Bani Walid suggest a degree of panic, however, as his enemies closed in.
"He was nervous. He had a Thuraya (satellite phone) and he called his father many times," said al-Senussi Sharif al-Senussi, an officer who was part of Saif al-Islam's personal security team until Bani Walid fell to the NTC on October 17.
"He repeated to us: don't tell anyone where I am. Don't let them spot me. He was afraid of mortars. He seemed confused."
The NATO alliance whose air power tipped the balance of eight months of fighting in favor of the motley rebel forces says that it sees no immediate military threat now, and plans to end its U.N.-mandated mission at the end of the month.
Libya's deputy ambassador to the United Nations told the Security Council that it would be logical to end the mandate on October 31, though he asked for a few days for the NTC to make a formal decision.
But the head of the NTC, Mustafa Abdel Jalil, called at a meeting with military allies in Qatar for NATO assistance to continue until the end of the year. [nL5E7LQ0A8] A senior Qatari official was later quoted as saying the Gulf Arab state, which backed the NTC with troops, could lead a new, smaller mission to assist Libya, that would also have Western support.
Abdel Jalil said he wanted NATO help in stopping Gaddafi loyalists escaping justice. But at the Brussels headquarters of the alliance, NATO officials recalled that their U.N. mandate was to protect civilians, not target individuals -- a fact they had been at pains to stress after an airstrike on a motorcade in Sirte proved the undoing of the elder Gaddafi.
Military experts stress that even NATO's extensive aerial and satellite power is stretched to detect fleeing convoys in the expanses of the Sahara, while the remote desert is also out of realistic range for a mission to strike such a group of vehicles, even if NATO's mandate were interpreted to allow it.

Pets ? Alice Audrey
I just got two kittens from the animal shelter. Sorry, I haven?t stopped to take pictures yet, but I?ll get to that.
So, I?m wondering?
Costumes? Or not?
Sorry this took so long. We never did get any good lighting with mostly rain, and then when I started to upload the photos, the kids demanded attention. Anyway, here they are. This is Icarus:

Probability model examines proportion of women who survive following detection of breast cancer through screening
ScienceDaily (Oct. 24, 2011) ? A model used to estimate breast cancer survival rates found that the probability that a woman with screen-detected breast cancer will avoid a breast cancer death because of screening mammography may be lower than previously thought, according to a report published Online First by Archives of Internal Medicine, one of the JAMA/Archives journals.
"Today, more people are likely to know a cancer survivor than ever before," the authors write. "Between 1971 and 2007, the number of cancer survivors in the United States more than doubled, from 1.5 percent to 4 percent of the population. Breast cancer survivors are particularly common: they now represent approximately 2.5 million, or one-fifth of the current survivor population." The authors also note, however, that although "perhaps the most persuasive messages promoting screening mammography come from women who argue that the test 'saved my life,'" other possibilities for breast cancer survival exist.
H. Gilbert Welch, M.D., M.P.H., and Brittney A. Frankel, both of Dartmouth Institute for Health Policy and Clinical Practice, Hanover, N.H., developed a method to estimate the probability that a woman with screen-detected breast cancer had her life saved because of the screening. The authors used DevCan, the National Cancer Institute's software for analyzing data, to estimate the 10-year risk of diagnosis and the 20-year risk of death. This probability approach also relies on two estimated possibilities for a woman in the general population of the United States: the probability of having breast cancer detected by screening and the probability of avoiding breast cancer mortality (death) because of the screening.
The authors estimated that for a 50-year old woman, the risk of developing breast cancer in the next 10 years is 2,990 per 100,000. In this age group, 64 percent of breast cancers are found by mammography, suggesting that the risk of having a screen-detected breast cancer during the same period is 1,910 per 100,000. The woman's observed 20-year probability of breast cancer death is 990 per 100,000. Assuming that screening mammography has already reduced risk of breast cancer death by 20 percent, the risk of death in the absence of screening would be 1,240 per 100,000, suggesting that the estimated benefit of screening amounted to 250 per 100,000. Therefore, the authors estimate that the probability that a woman with screen-detected breast cancer avoids breast cancer death because of mammography is 13 percent (250/1910).
The probability of the same 50-year-old woman avoiding breast cancer death increases to 17 percent if screening mammography reduces breast cancer mortality by 25 percent; however, probability decreases to 3 percent if screening mammography reduces breast cancer mortality by 5 percent. Similar analyses conducted for women of varying ages all yield probability estimates below 25 percent.
"We considered a range of values: namely, that screening mammography reduces breast cancer mortality anywhere from 5 percent to 25 percent. The values toward the high end (20 to 25 percent) reflect the randomized trial data from more than a quarter century ago," the authors conclude. "Consequently, we believe that readers should focus on the values toward the low end (5 to 10 percent) and recognize that the probability that a woman with screen-detected breast cancer has, in fact, avoided a breast cancer death because of screening mammography is now likely to be well below 10 percent."
Invited Commentary: Screening. Simple Messages ... Sometimes
In an invited commentary, Timothy J. Wilt, M.D., M.P.H., and Melissa R. Partin, Ph.D., both of the Minneapolis Veterans Administration for Chronic Disease Outcomes Research and the University of Minnesota, Minneapolis, note that in their study, Welch and Frankel, "express concerns that overly inflated perceptions of the benefits of mammography may lead to a self-perpetuating cycle of unwarranted demand for screening, overdiagnosis, overtreatment, and a continually growing population of breast cancer survivors who advocate mammography. The demographics of survivorship suggest that their concern is legitimate."
"Preventive health care services like cancer screening can result in tremendous individual and public health benefits by identifying disease at early, more treatable stages or lowering a patient's risk of developing a disease altogether," write Wilt and Partin. However, the authors do caution that, "they do not always provide the expected benefit and cause harms such as overdiagnosis and overtreatment."
"Numerous studies have documented that the strongest predictor of mammography utilization is physician recommendation," the authors write. "Therefore, simple, highly effective and accurate messages can come directly from clinicians."
"In conclusion, a simple science-based message can and should be delivered to many individuals considering early disease detection and treatment," the authors note. "The opportunity and challenge for clinicians is to be that reliable source of information that ensures that our patients are able to make well-informed decisions that incorporate the best evidence into their personal values."

All hail the chief ? in Prague
Czechs attribute their independence and the end of Communism to former American presidents, and have honored them with statues in Prague to show their gratitude.
? A local, slice-of-life story from a Monitor correspondent.
Skip to next paragraphAfter 80 years, a world war, and several tectonic political shifts, a 10-foot-high bronze statue of US President Woodrow Wilson again stands in Prague outside the train station.
Czechs first erected the statue in 1928 to commemorate Wilson for backing their bid for independence, spelled out in his famous ?Fourteen Points? speech. The statue stood for all of 13 years, when in 1941 the Nazi occupier forces decided to melt it down for cannons. Using photos and the statue?s surviving head, a new statue was built and unveiled in October, part of a week-long celebration of Wilson.
The Wilson statue dedication follows the July 4 unveiling of a statue of Ronald Reagan near the US Embassy in Prague, to honor Reagan?s efforts to end communism.

Google, PE firms mull bid for Yahoo: report (Reuters)
(Reuters) ? Google Inc has spoken to at least two private equity firms about possibly helping them finance a deal to buy Yahoo Inc's core business, The Wall Street Journal reported on Saturday, citing a person familiar with the matter.
Google and prospective partners have held preliminary discussions but have not come up with a formal proposal, and Google may end up deciding not to pursue a bid, the source said.
It is not clear which private equity firms Google has spoken to, the WSJ said.
Representatives of Google could not immediately be reached for comment.
Any potential deal between the two biggest Internet companies would likely arouse antitrust scrutiny.
Google is interested in selling some advertising across Yahoo's websites, the Journal said, citing people familiar with the matter.
Microsoft Corp is now considering financing part of a bid for Yahoo by a private equity firm, people familiar with the matter have said.
Yahoo has been in a state of chaos since it fired former CEO Carol Bartz in early September. The company retained investment banking firm Allen & Co to help conduct a "strategic review" of its business and is reportedly working with executive search firm Heidrick & Struggles to find a new CEO.
A number of potential buyers have expressed interest in a deal with Yahoo. Private equity firms Silver Lake Partners, Providence Equity Partners, Bain Capital, Hellman & Friedman, Blackstone Group, and KKR are among those likely to get a look at the limited financial data Yahoo's advisers are circulating.

US assigns new task to Pakistan
The Obama administration isn?t asking Pakistan?s military to occupy its rugged border regions, the base for extremist groups that attack US, allied and Afghan forces on the other side, Clinton said in an interview with Bloomberg News posted on its website on Monday.
There are ?different ways of fighting besides overt military action,? she said.
Clinton said she pressed Pakistan to fully share intelligence with US forces in Afghanistan to prevent attacks and choke off money and supply routes. Better coordination might prevent incidents like the Sept 20 assault on the American Embassy in Kabul, which the US blames on the Haqqani network, she said.
?We can go after funding. We can go after couriers,?? she said she told Pakistani leaders.
Already strained ties with Pakistan were exacerbated by the US commando assault in May that killed al-Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden near Islamabad. Clinton, along with CIA Director David Petraeus and General Martin Dempsey, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, met with Prime Minister Syed Yousuf Raza Gilani, General Ashfaq Parvez Kayani, the Army Chief of Staff, and Ahmad Shuja Pasha, head of the Inter-Services Intelligence Directorate. Clinton praised recent cooperation against al-Qaeda as a model for how to crack down on the Haqqanis as well as the Taliban, based in Pakistan?s southwestern city of Quetta.
?Because of intelligence sharing and mutual cooperation, we have targeted three of the top al-Qaeda operatives since bin Laden?s death. That could not have happened without Pakistani cooperation,? she said.
Pakistan?s political parties came together last month behind a resolution to seek talks and a ceasefire with insurgents rather than an all-out military assault. Prime Minister Gilani urged the Americans ?to give peace a chance? before pressing his military for more, he said in a statement.
Clinton said the US message to Pakistan was that the same insurgents who have launched lethal attacks against US and Afghan targets may unleash their violence inside Pakistan.
Clinton said she urged Pakistan?s leaders to take advantage of the roughly 130,000-troop, US-led Nato force next door in Afghanistan while it?s still there. The US and Nato have begun pulling out troops and plan to hand full security control to Afghanistan?s government by the end of 2014.
In the coming months, forces from Pakistan and the coalition in Afghanistan should ?squeeze? the Taliban and allied extremists, such as the Haqqani network, which operate on both sides of the border.
?There?s no way that any government in Islamabad can control these groups,? Clinton said in an interview, conducted in Tajikistan as she wrapped up a seven-nation trip across the Mideast and south-central Asia.
There is an ?opportunity, while we are still with 48 nations across the border in Afghanistan, where we have a lot of assets that we can put at their disposal? to help Pakistan.
The Pakistanis said they ?have to figure out a way to do it that doesn?t cause chaos? in their country, she recounted. She said the US and Pakistan agreed on ?90 to 95 percent of what needs to be done? and the two countries will work on what ?next steps we take together.?
US and Afghan troops have recently begun what they call ?enhanced operations? against guerrillas in Afghanistan?s Khost province, which abuts the Pakistani region where the Haqqani network is based.
Asked if US troops in Afghanistan will launch cross-border attacks if Pakistan fails to act, Clinton replied, ?There?s a lot going on that is aimed at these safe havens, and we will continue to work with them on that.?
Clinton also defended US efforts to encourage the Afghans and Pakistanis to seek negotiations to disarm militants. Reconciliation efforts have gone nowhere since Clinton announced the Obama administration?s support for talks early last year.
Negotiations are ?a bumpy process? requiring ?patience and persistence that we?re willing to invest, in order to determine what?s real and what?s not,? she said.

NATO commander no idea Gadhafi in targeted convoy (AP)
BRUSSELS ? A top NATO official said Monday that the alliance had no idea Moammar Gadhafi was in a convoy hit by airstrikes as it fled the besieged Libyan town of Sirte while opposition forces closed in.
"We saw a convoy and we had no idea that Gadhafi was on board. In fact, I was surprised that Gadhafi was in the Sirte area," the commander of NATO operations in Libya, Lt. Gen. Charles Bouchard, said during a video conference from his headquarters in Naples, Italy.
Bouchard said NATO commanders ordered the airstrikes as they believed the large armed convoy would try to link up with other pockets of resistance in the west.
The conference was the first time Bouchard had explained the reasons for the strikes, which Gadhafi survived, only for him to be killed later Thursday with several other followers. The circumstances of his death remain unclear.
Bouchard said NATO air surveillance had detected about 175 vehicles assembling in Sirte early Thursday, preparing to transport remaining loyalists out of the besieged coastal town as forces of the new government mounted their final assault.
"The vehicles started to make their way out, and one of the outcomes of this was the concern (that forces) from Sirte would join with the remnants of forces from Bani Walid and move into another desert area," Bouchard said.
Sirte and Bani Walid, about 250 kilometers (150 miles) to the northwest, were the last two stronghold's of Gadhafi's supporters.
"We went on from there to first of all attempt up to break up the convoy, to break it into manageable chunks and to slow it down (and) that's what we did."
"We brought to bear our weapons systems on the convoy twice, and we achieved the aim of stopping the convoy," Bouchard said, adding that the presence of rockets and machine guns in some vehicles made them a legitimate target.
The airstrikes were among the 26,000 sorties and 9,600 strike missions flown by NATO warplanes in the past seven months, during which around 5,900 military targets were destroyed. These included Libya's air defenses and more than 1,000 tanks, vehicles and guns, as well as Gadhafi's command and control networks.
The daily airstrikes enabled the rebels' ragtag forces to advance and take Tripoli two months ago. On Sunday, Libya's interim rulers declared the country liberated, launching the oil-rich nation on what is meant to be a two-year transition to democracy.
The alliance on Friday announced preliminary plans to phase out its campaign at the end of this month. Air patrols over Libya would continue in the meantime to make sure there is no return to violence.
A spokeswoman said Monday that NATO Secretary-General Anders Fogh Rasmussen was consulting with Libya's interim government and the United Nations about winding down the mission.
"As we wind down the operation ... we will monitor the situation and retain the capacity to respond to any threats to civilians as needed," spokeswoman Oana Lungescu said.
The alliance's governing body was expected to decide for definite on Wednesday to end all operations on Oct. 31, an official accredited to NATO said. He spoke on condition of anonymity in order to divulge confidential information.
Meanwhile, in London Britain's Prime Minister David Cameron acknowledged Monday that "this was Libya's revolution," but said his country should be proud of the role it played.
Cameron told British lawmakers that U.K. jets flew more than 3,000 missions as part of the NATO operation.

Biggest ever study shows no link between mobile phone use and tumors
Friday, October 21, 2011
There is no link between long-term use of mobile phones and tumours of the brain or central nervous system, finds new research published in the British Medical Journal.
In what is described as the largest study on the subject to date, Danish researchers found no evidence that the risk of brain tumours was raised among 358,403 mobile phone subscribers over an 18-year period.
The number of people using mobile phones is constantly rising with more than five billion subscriptions worldwide in 2010. This has led to concerns about potential adverse health effects, particularly tumours of the central nervous system.
Previous studies on a possible link between phone use and tumours have been inconclusive particularly on long-term use of mobile phones. Some of this earlier work took the form of case control studies involving small numbers of long-term users and were shown to be prone to error and bias. The International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) recently classified radio frequency electromagnetic fields, as emitted by mobile phones, as possibly carcinogenic to humans.
The only cohort study investigating mobile phone use and cancer to date is a Danish nationwide study comparing cancer risk of all 420,095 Danish mobile phone subscribers from 1982 until 1995, with the corresponding risk in the rest of the adult population with follow-up to 1996 and then 2002. This study found no evidence of any increased risk of brain or nervous system tumours or any cancer among mobile phone subscribers.
So researchers, led by the Institute of Cancer Epidemiology in Copenhagen, continued this study up to 2007.
They studied data on the whole Danish population aged 30 and over and born in Denmark after 1925, subdivided into subscribers and non-subscribers of mobile phones before 1995. Information was gathered from the Danish phone network operators and from the Danish Cancer Register.
Overall, 10,729 central nervous system tumours occurred in the study period 1990-2007.
When the figures were restricted to people with the longest mobile phone use ? 13 years or more ? cancer rates were almost the same in both long-term users and non-subscribers of mobile phones.
The researchers say they observed no overall increased risk for tumours of the central nervous system or for all cancers combined in mobile phone users.
They conclude: "The extended follow-up allowed us to investigate effects in people who had used mobile phones for 10 years or more, and this long-term use was not associated with higher risks of cancer.
"However, as a small to moderate increase in risk for subgroups of heavy users or after even longer induction periods than 10-15 years cannot be ruled out, further studies with large study populations, where the potential for misclassification of exposure and selection bias is minimised, are warranted."
In an accompanying editorial, Professors Anders Ahlbom and Maria Feychting at the Karolinska Institutet in Sweden say this new evidence is reassuring, but continued monitoring of health registers and prospective cohorts is still warranted.
