How Common is Mesothelioma?


Although reported incidence rates have increased in the past 20 years, mesothelioma is still a relatively rare cancer. About 2,000 new cases of mesothelioma are diagnosed in the United States each year. Mesothelioma occurs more often in men than in women and risk increases with age, but this disease can appear in either men or women at any age.


What is Mesothelioma?


Malignant mesothelioma, a rare form of cancer, is a disease in which cancer (malignant) cells are found in the sac lining the chest (the pleura) or abdomen (the peritoneum). Most people with malignant mesothelioma have worked on jobs where they breathed asbestos.


A doctor should be seen if a person has shortness of breath, pain in the chest, or pain or swelling in the abdomen. If there are symptoms, the doctor may order an x-ray of the chest or abdomen.


The doctor may look inside the chest cavity for mesothelioma with a special instrument called a thoracoscope. A cut will be made through the chest wall and the thoracoscope will be put into the chest between two ribs. This test, called thoracoscopy, is usually done in the hospital. Before the test, the patient will be given a local anesthetic (a drug that causes a loss of feeling for a short period of time). Some pressure may be felt, but usually there is no pain.


The doctor may also look inside the abdomen (peritoneoscopy) for mesothelioma with a special tool called a peritoneoscope. The peritoneoscope is put into an opening made in the abdomen. This test is also usually done in the hospital. Before the test is done, a local anesthetic will be given.


If tissue that is not normal is found, the doctor will need to cut out a small piece and have it looked at under a microscope to see if there are any mesothelioma cells. This is called a biopsy. Biopsies are usually done during the thoracoscopy or peritoneoscopy.


The chance of recovery (prognosis) from mesothelioma depends on the size of the mesothelioma, where the mesothelioma is, how far the mesothelioma has spread, how the mesothelioma cells look under the microscope, how the mesothelioma responds to treatment, and the patient's age.

How to Choose a Good Domain Name


To help your website and business flourish, pick a domain name that:



  1. is easy for Web users to remember and find

  2. suggests the nature of your product or service

  3. serves as a strong trademark so competitors won't be able to use a business name or domain name similar to it, and

  4. is free of legal conflicts with trademarks belonging to other businesses.


What makes a good domain name?



  1. Good extension - If a person is surfing around looking for a site, and they know its name, most people will try .com. So, for the web site owner who wants their site to be found, the rule is: if at all possible, get a .com name.

  2. Short - Less than 7 characters, ideally. A simple name will roll off the tongue more easily in conversation, look more professional, and have less chance of being mis-typed.

  3. Easy to spell - Make sure it passes the phone test: if you were to say the domain name of your website to a friend over the phone, would your friend be able to spell it correctly the first time without your having to spell it for them? If not, you've failed the phone test and should likely try a different domain name. Also, be careful about double letters. Take CyberRodeo, for example. Their domain uses a double R, as you might expect, but there is an uncertainty there. The two R's together look a bit strange if written without capitalization, and a good name will not force the user to assume anything about the name. If you must have a double letter, the best solution is to buy both versions of the domain. Avoid using dashes in your domain name.

  4. Descriptive- A good site or business name will describe exactly what the site is about. In most cases it's important for a person to be able to get some sort of sense what the website is about just by reading the domain name. Of course that logic doesn't work for sites like ebay, amazon, ivillage, etc, but then again you likely don't have a multi-million dollar budget to help you brand your name and teach people what it means.

  5. Keywords - Include descriptive keywords that describe your business, product or mission in your domain name. This will play a very small part, in some cases, in increasing your search engine ranking for search phrases that include the keywords used in your domain name.


Domain Name Scams


When shopping for a domain, it is also important to keep an eye open for domain name scams. The surging popularity of domain name affiliate programs has created countless "fly by night" operations; dozens of domain name resellers worldwide cease operations every month, often leaving the administrative status of the domains they leave behind up in the air. Making a purchase from a reseller is not a bad decision, but make sure to research the company's history and credentials. There are less than 170 ICANN-accredited registrars (that is, non-resellers) for .com, .net and .org domains worldwide; a full list is available at http://www.icann.org/registrars/accredited-list.html


Domain Name Extensions


Domain names are typically categorized by their extension, which is their identifying code. The three most popular types of Top Level Domains (TLDs), which are domains that are not associated with a country, are:



  • .COM: Short for .commercial. Domain names with the .com extension are by far the most popular, and can be purchased by any individual or business.

  • .NET: Short for .network, this domain extension was originally designed to be used by technical Web sites. However, domains using this extension can be registered by anyone.

  • .ORG: Short for .organization. Originally designated for non-profit firms and any other organizations that did not fit under the .com or .net extension, any individual or business may now register a .org domain name.


Country Level Domain Name Extensions


Domain names can also be assigned using country extensions. Each country has its own domain extension; Canada, for example, is .ca, while Japan has been assigned .jp. Most countries have specific rules surrounding exactly who can register domains using their extension and for what purpose; it's therefore important to look before you leap.


Alternative Domain Name Extensions


The Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN), the organization responsible for the administration of TLDs worldwide, recently approved several new extensions that are not specific to any country. These are:



  • .areo

  • .biz

  • .coop

  • .edu

  • .gov

  • .info

  • .int

  • .mil

  • .museum

  • .name

  • .pro

  • .stir - okay, well, no, but we're working on it :)


Each has been designed for a specific use, and is accompanied by certain restrictions. You can find more information about these TLDs here: http://www.icann.org/tlds/
