We were reading about some of the types of lung cancer due to some of the recent reports in treatment options that are now becoming available and found some interesting information around mesothelioma. This type of cancer is usually caused by exposure to asbestos that infiltrates the lungs and can be the starting point for a certain type of lung cancer. We found that Asbestosis & Lung Cancer are two separate types of disease states. Asbestosis is actually caused by the inhalation of asbestos and caused difficulty breathing similar to asthma but may only rarely manifest itself into lung cancer. The fibers of asbestos get logged into the lining of the lungs and your body then tries to get rid of this irritant which can cause fatigue, shortness of breath, and chest pain.

The debate will heat up as the Healthcare reform bill comes to the floor. The national town halls have only proven that there is no clear winner and there remains a lot of uncertainty as to what will eventually happen to health care in America. Many of the major insurers like bcbsnc are looking to remain competitive even if there is a government option that will become available. Many have debated as to whether for-profit companies like the Blue Cross Blue Shield’s of America can compete with the government that does not have to worry about profit and overhead. The American people will stay vocal as to what they want and having a one payer system will not be the answer.

I was searching for a great birthday gift for my son and came across this Belkins TuneStudio Audio mixer that looked really cool and something that my son could really get into. It is apparently the first of its kind to allow you to digitally remaster files and recordings directly to your iPod. It is a 4 channel audio mixer that will output files in 16-bit 44kHz in an uncompressed WAV format that will give your ultra clear sound and clarity. You can connect mics and instruments directly to the control panel and control most any aspect of the sound that you want and then have it output to your iPod. So those garage bands can now easily have a mobile recording studio so no matter when that masterpiece comes into your mind you can just plug in and starting capturing greatness.

This slick new device is available for sale at buy.com for only $149.99 as of this post with free shipping. On other sites it can be found for around $300 so getting this for basically half price seems like a really good deal for those music enthusiast or aspiring artists looking to create their own unique tunes and sound.My son and his friends have been using a digital camcorder to record some of their videos where they play along with some of the more popular songs like “Boom Boom Pow” and then will upload those to Youtube. With this new tech gadget they will be able to plug right into their iPod and capture and edit their background music with the ease of just a few clicks and twists of the knobs.

Last I counted there are over 30 bowl games slated for the 2008-2009 college football season. It is great for my Alma Mater in that we will be in a bowl ga

me this year. I wonder who gets excited about playing in the Poinsettia Bowl? Instead of the fans throwing oranges or roses on the field, will they be tossing poinsettias on to the field? College football has gotten so diluted that it is difficult to reward a team for having a great season. It used to be that only a few teams every year made it to a bowl. It benefited the school with the revenue, and the athletes with a stage with which to prove themselves.Â

Now with all the corporate sponsors it is inevitable that only more games will be added before they are reduced. I wonder if I could get tickets to the PapaJohn bowl this year?

If you have not noticed but the the netbooks seem to be the biggest thing for those wanting to stay connected online. I have seen just about every wireless carrier and cable providers that offer broadband to their customers offering discounts on the latest netbooks in order to gain or retain your business.  Take for example the Samsung NC10 netbook that comes with a 160 GB HD and 1 GB of memory, 10.2′ screen, and wirless b/g compatible.  Originally when these new mini laptops were introduced I was not sure what their purpose would be and now after seeing more ads for them and actually playing with one they are quite cool. Even my kids are asking for the new netbooks to have for their rooms to help with school work and staying connected to their friends via Facebook and Twitter.

With more and more entrants in the market you will find these devices on sale in almost every electronic store and more online. We are looking into buying one for our son this September for his birthday. The compact nature of the new netbooks will allow him to carry it around with the added weight of a laptop and it will fit nicely into his new backpack that he got this summer that will also carry his skateboard. So if you are looking for a way to keep your kids current in the latest technology without having to spend a small fortune for a laptop then maybe one of the new netbooks will be just what you are looking for.
