Social Network, Social Sex, Thrives as Place for Adults to Hook Up

Social networks are great, except when you need to make a change to one of your settings--then it's a veritable click-fest of wading through menus in search of just the right option. Hassle city. Last week I gave you some tips for managing Facebook photos; this week I'll tell you about a couple of great services that work with several different social networks.

BlissControl helps you manage social-network settings with ease. Just choose the setting you want to modify, then the service, and then click Go.

In an instant, BlissControl steers you to exactly the right setting page within that service. No fuss, no muss.

And no annoying login for each and every account, no setup that "grants access." That's because BlissControl doesn't actually hook into the various social networks; it's really just a wizard-driven, plain-English collection of links. But, man, is it handy.

The site offers an even dozen settings: change bio, change password, change mobile settings, change design, delete account, and so on. It supports about a dozen major networks, including Faceook, Foursquare, Instagram, Meetup, Pinterest, Tumblr, and Twitter.

BlissControl is free, easy, and fabulous--especially for users who are constantly stumbling around in search of the social-network setting they want.

Just the other day, Mrs. Hassle-Free PC was bemoaning the flood of notification e-mails she gets from Facebook. "Every time someone mentions me or shares a photo of me, I hear about it in my inbox!"

I reminded her that Facebook has settings that let you control the number and type of notifications you get.

"Great," she said, "but who's got all day to find them?"

Good point. As I've griped before, Facebook's settings are anything but intuitive. Of course, the same can be said of many other services that notify you to death.

Cervical cancer is the leading cause of cancer deaths among women in India with mortality being three times higher in rural areas than in urban areas, a study by the medical journal Lancet said Wednesday.

'The study found that 17 percent of cancer deaths among women were due to cervical cancer, followed by 14 percent due to stomach cancer and 10 percent due to breast cancer. The study spanned across geographical and social variation in specific cancers, and the degree to which the cancers might be avoided by controlling their risk factors or causative agents,' said Prabhat Jha, co-author of the study released in Mumbai said.

'The rate of cervical cancer deaths was nearly the same in rural and urban areas. A similar pattern of mortality rate was seen for breast cancer in both the areas,' Jha, director of the Toronto-based Centre for Global Health Research, added.

The study found cancer mortality in 2010 in India to be at a high 71 percent (3,95,400) deaths in people between 30 and 69 years. The authors assessed cancer mortality in the Million Death Study (MDS), led by the Office of the Registrar General of India.

According to the World Health Organisation (WHO), which has been advocating early detection and prevention among women, personal hygiene and public health education are keys for early diagnosis of cervical cancer.

'Cervical cancer is the leading cause of cancer death in Indian women, killing more than 33,000 women every year in India. The risk of a woman dying from cervical cancer is higher than her risk of dying during child birth (0.8 percent vs 0.6 percent respectively),' Poonam Khetrapal Singh, deputy regional director at the WHO regional office for Southeast Asia in New Delhi, told IANS.

Cervical cancer starts in the cervix, the lower part of the uterus (womb), caused by human papilloma virus (HPV). The virus spreads through unsafe sexual intercourse. Routine pap smear tests are advised so the disease is diagnosed at an early stage.

Reacting to the study, the WHO official said: 'Public health education advocating personal hygiene and periodic screening can reduce cervical cancer deaths. Early detection of treatable cancers would save many lives in India, particularly in the rural areas which are under served by cancer screening and treatment.'

Commuter: ,

Common wisdom has it that when anew object or concept appears ina language milieu, thespeakers ofthat language get cracking andcome up with aname forit.

Sometimes inRussia, people take theeasy route they just Russify theforeign name. So that electric box onyour kitchen counter is called (toaster).

Sometimes they come up with ahomegrown name or several. Garlic presses are called , (both derived fromthe word forgarlic andthe verb topress), (literally press forgarlic), or even (literally garlic juicer). Atsome point inthe future, thevast Russian nation will, insome mysterious unspoken way, come toan agreement, andone ofthose names will stick.

But sometimes there is atime lag between theappearance ofa phenomenon anda word forit.

Take commuting, commuters andcommutes. Every morning andevening, theroads leading inand out ofevery major Russian city are packed bumper tobumper with commuters who live outside thecity limits andcommute every day toand fromwork. Thephenomenon definitely exists. Andyet speakers ofRussian apparently dont feel theneed tocome up with away todescribe it ina word or two.

InRussian, acommuter is , (someone who travels towork froma suburb tothe city every day). Thequestion How long is your commute? might be ? (How much time do you spend getting towork?). Or themore informal: ? (How long does it take toget fromhome towork?)

That said, there are ways todescribe various means ofcommuting inRussian. Acommuter train is . Acommuter bus is . Acommuter parking lot is (literally intercept parking).

BURBANK, Calif. A friendly game of word association with Mitt Romney got big laughs on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno, when the presidential hopeful described his chief GOP rival Sen. Rick Santorum as press secretary.

The game came after Leno, who didnt believe Romney when he said he hasnt put a list together for his vice presidential choices, proposed the back and forth.

Not even like with the wife? Leno challenged Romney. You know, Honey, this guy? Really? Its never come up? Im not even running and I discuss it with my wife. You havent thought of, geez

Ill tell you what. I can do you a favor with this. Ill choose David Letterman. We can help us both out, Romney suggested, a nod to the longtime ratings war between the two late night programs.

But Romney wasnt getting off that easy, Leno launching into the game and quickly laying the ground rules: Leno provides Romney a list of candidates and Romney uses one word to describe them.

A couple of words, maybe? Romney requested, upon hearing the requirements.

When Leno offered up Santorums name, Romney responded, Um, press secretary.

Romney was seemingly referencing Santorums heated confrontation with New York Times reporter Jeff Zeleny, during which Santorum cursed at the reporter. Leno had mentioned the incident during his opening monologue, which Romney was able to watch backstage, the host joking that he had tried to book Santorum for the show but the censors wouldnt allow it because of his bad language.

As for the other candidates and words Romney used to describe them, Romney said South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley is energetic, Florida Sen. Marco Rubio is an American leader, U.S. Rep. Paul Ryan is creative and Donald Trump huge.
