Lung Cancer Detector
by gd4u2no
The Cleveland Clinic has found that lung cancer is detected by dogs with a 99% accuracy. However, it is unsettling to realize that the smarter species has not made great strides in becoming as accurate in diagnosing this particular disease. It is an undeniable truth according to the experts in the medical field.
Researchers have developed a new method of detecting lung cancer by utilizing a sensor. It would be similiar to be a breath analyzer. There are organic compounds which lung cancer patients exhale. Experts in the medical profession can use gas chromotograher to similate the organic compounds of cancer. Though, there seems to be an inadequate diagnosis rate which does not allow the use of the gas chromotographer to become an effective method.
Lung cancer causes 160,000 deaths a year in the United States. This cancer is hard to detect in its early stages. In its latter stages, it is hard to be mutually beneficial with the current treatments available. Development of a sensor which would allow faster diagnosis of the most prevalent cancer in the United States would be a great help to the people of America. What is absolutely amazing is denial of the most accurate form of diagnosis currently available. Why not invest the money in training people to work with the dogs? Since this method has a 99% accuracy in diagnosing cancer, why not save the people?
What could possibly be wrong with the current solution which God has already given? Oh!! I think I have an inkling of what makes this an implausible act. There is not enough money to be made off of people in need of life. Does anyone think this may have a bit to do with it?

Iran earns Respect
Iran is Entitled
by gd4u2no
Is it not amazing the insight that it took Mr. Blix,a former U.N. chief weapons inspector, to present the world with a proper picture of what is happpening? I think he states his point well. Perhaps, I may disagree with his analogy to a child, but the essence of his conclusion is correct.
No one should expect any leader to be omitted from conversation. Yet, that same leader should be given and accept directives from the very person who deems them unworthy of conversation.
Meanwhile, Mr. Bush and his representatives have consistently stated he will not enter any direct discussions with Iran for the past few years. Let us accept that Iran was willing to have discussions with the United States to no avail.
Once a barrier is erected, there is no threshold to stand upon and give orders. Especially, considering North Korea was given much room to advance their nuclear programs. Basically, enough time elapsed with denial of stopping their nuclear campaign and initating tests of their weapons for the world to see.
After North Korea demonstrated what they stated, the international community determines they should be well-compensated to stop. Absolutely amazing is all I can say.
Which picture is more of a threat? I guess, the one which is paid the most. This train of thought gives more incentives for other countries to stand by their convictions. Let us not forget Iran chooses to have electricity for their countrymen.
Who has the right to dictate how you run your own house? Who has a great claim in entering your house and stating what you can and can not do within your own sanctuary? Especially, when you consider your family's quality of life becoming improved.

Energy Savers Use Mercury
Compact Fluorescent Bulbs Present Dangers
by gd4u2no
The Environmental Protection Agency, along with some retailers, are encouraging consumers to buy compact fluorescent bulbs. The bulbs appear to have swirls on top. These bulbs are useful in conserving energy.
A lesser known fact it is the bulbs contain mercury. Mercury is a toxin which affects the nervous system. Ordinarily, disposal of mercury and environmental releases of mercury are regulated by the EPA.
The compact bulbs do not present a problem with proper disposal. The mercury does not present any concerns unless there are massive amounts of bulbs broken within a limited area, such as a landfill for regular waste. When this happens, the workers and landfill risk unhealthy levels of toxins.
Should the EPA inform the public of proper removal for a better environment? Absolutely. Most people are unaware of the need to keep the bulbs out of the regular garbage containers. These compact bulbs actually need to be taken to a hazardous waste center.
The EPA has been urging Walmart to help with recycling these compact bulbs. GE has been making these bulbs for 20 years. While the EPA has seen sales increase, they are trying to get corporate America to assist with removal of this looming threat.
While the EPA has been somewhat constructive, I believe the American people can find their way to hazardous waste facilities to ensure safe conditions for other Americans who remove their garbage. I believe Americans do not want a ladder for every step they take. We can consider the dangers and evaluate the next step to be taken for the improvement of our neighborhood and cities. No one pays the cost better than us.

Hole opens in Guatemala neighborhood, 3 missing
Fri Feb 23, 2007 4:56pm ET
GUATEMALA CITY (Reuters) - Three people were missing on Friday after a 200-foot-deep hole opened up in the middle of a Guatemalan neighborhood, likely due to a burst sewer pipe.
"It sounded like a bomb was dropping. Boom!" said Carlos Gutierrez, 58, of the crater, which measured 130 feet in diameter.
The crater appeared in the capital's San Antonio neighborhood on Thursday night. Authorities evacuated hundreds of people on Friday fearing more land could collapse into a fast-flowing river of sewage below.
The missing people had lived in a house that fell into the hole. Two bodies showed up about a mile downstream.
Neighbors said the ground had been shaking for weeks after a huge sewer pipe burst, making the ground underneath the houses unstable.

It is unbelievable that any disaster such as this can happen without an earthquake. Possibly, this concern can be addressed to the effect that no occurrence of this type may happen again.
Thankfully, nothing of that nature has happened here in the continental United States. How is it possible to happen within a United States territory is unthinkable? Let us hope that better planning is considered as a result. Let me know what you think
