Huffington Post: Coffee Linked With Lower Liver Cancer Risk

Posted: 09 Apr 2014 08:27 AM PDT

Your daily coffee habit could protect you from developing the most common kind of liver cancer, a new study suggests.

And the more coffee you drink a day, the lower the risk of hepatocellular carcinoma, according to researchers from the University of Southern California Norris Comprehensive Cancer Center.

"Now we can add HCC [hepatocellular carcinoma] to the list of medical ailments, such as Parkinson's disease, type 2 diabetes, and stroke, that may be prevented by coffee intake," study researcher V. Wendy Setiawan, Ph.D., an assistant professor in the Department of Preventive Medicine at the university, said in a statement. "Daily coffee consumption should be encouraged in individuals who are at high risk for HCC."

Huffington Post: Mozilla CEO's Resignation Sparks Debate In Silicon Valley

Posted: 09 Apr 2014 08:29 AM PDT

(Reuters) - Tech workers in Silicon Valley debated on Friday whether Mozilla CEO Brendan Eich got the comeuppance he deserved or was himself a victim of intolerance when he resigned under pressure this week amid outrage over his opposition to same-sex marriage.

Some, especially a dating website that had urged its users to boycott Mozilla's popular Firefox web browser, cheered Eich's resignation after less than two weeks as CEO of the nonprofit software company. Others viewed him as a victim and called his critics intolerant of people with different views.

Mozilla co-founder Eich, who invented the programming language Javascript, donated $1,000 in 2008 to support Proposition 8, which sought to ban same-sex marriage in California. Voters approved the measure, but it was struck down in U.S. federal court.

David Cohen, Comcast's executive vice president, was on Capitol Hill on Wednesday, trying to convince a group of senators that his company's proposed merger with Time Warner Cable should be approved by federal regulators. In doing so, Cohen decided to channel his inner Martha Stewart.

The size of a merged company is one of the chief concerns that people have about the proposal, but Cohen met that head on.

"While this transaction will make us bigger, that is a good thing, not a problem," he told the Senate Judiciary Committee. He said that investors would be "spurred to invest" to catch up with the new titan in town.
