Remembering veterans who died on the battlefield and on national soil
========================================================
Veteran’s Day is the one official holiday in the U.S. dedicated entirely to the men and women who have served or are serving in the armed forces. It’s the one government sanctioned day that exists explicitly to give thanks to those who have died on the battlefield and those who have passed away off of it. Alton Withbroe is one of the latter, and he passed away peacefully at the age of 83 on Oct. 27, 2010.
Withbroe was born in Green Bay, Wisconsin on March 12, 1927 and served his country in the U.S. Navy in the Philippines during the Korean Conflict. The presumed cause of death was the mesothelioma that he had battled for 15 years. Withbroe is not the only veteran to develop and die from this disease.
Mesothelioma is a rare and hard to diagnose cancer of the protective lining of the lungs, heart, chest and abdomen that in 77% percent of cases is attributable to prolonged exposure to asbestos. Withbroe was a rare and promising patient, as mesothelioma sufferers rarely survive 18 months past detection, even with aggressive mesothelioma treatment, which can involve any combination of surgery, chemotherapy and radiation. There is no mesothelioma cure.
Where Withbroe may have been exposed to asbestos has not been addressed, but as is the case with many veterans, he may have been exposed during his time with the navy. Asbestos was a major component in ship-building and many navy men were exposed during the first half of the 20th century.
Withbroe’s family want to thank Renaissance and Rennes Healthcare Center in De Pere for the care they provided. In lieu of flowers, a memorial fund for the Lung Association has been established.

Robotic Velociraptor – Steven Spielberg gets no royalties
=============================================
Remember when you first watched Jurassic Park in the theatres, and was
mesmerized at how Steven Spielberg held everything together without that much
CGI compared to today? Well, the velociraptor certainly brought chills down my
spine, which would make me approach this Robotic
Velociraptor with a little bit of apprehension. At least I can always kick
this around if it ever goes violent on me, since it is a whole lot smaller
compared to the real deal. In the velociraptors snout lies an infrared sensor
which enables it to detect movement or objects. The moment it is locked onto its
prey, the dinosaur will then charge forward with feral howls and dervish-like
spins. Should you choose to close its jaws by hand, it will remain tames but for
a while, and if held closed for too long, it will start to whimper angrily. Want
to enrage it like the Hulk? Just double-clicking its jaws and you will see
tooth-filled jaws make a menace of itself. Powered by a quartet of AA and a trio
of AAA batteries, the Robotic Velociraptor would make for a decent Christmas
present for $49.95.
