Legionnaires’ disease is defined as a severe case of pneumonia caused by a bacterium. Rather than being spread through direct contact, as some contagious diseases are, Legionnaires’ disease is usually contracted through inhaling the bacterium through a mist of vapor from water.
In recent Miami news, three people have recently become ill with Legionnaire’s disease at the Epic Hotel, while one succumbed to the disease. The cause of the recent cases appears to be contaminated water.

Tiger Woods' caddie speaks out
Tiger Woods' caddie, Steve Williams, has broken his silence on Woods' recent problems in an interview with a New Zealand newspaper.
Williams said the Woods scandal had placed pressure on his own wife and family and that Woods had admitted to him he had "a problem."
"My head is in a spin right now," Williams told the New Zealand Sunday News.
"The media has made it very difficult for my family. There is no question about it.
"Obviously, I understand Tiger has got a problem." And, he said, he and Woods "discussed that."

Nellie McKay and Doris Day
Nellie McKay is an indie pop songstress with her own unique flair. One of Nellie McKay's favorite people is Doris Day. Rumored to be 27 years old, Nellie McKay just put together a CD tribute to Doris Day entitled, "Normal as Blueberry Pie - A Tribute to Doris Day."
Nellie McKay puts together an upbeat collection of American standard songs with eclectic, daring arrangements for "Normal as Blueberry Pie." The Philadelphia Inquirer reports Nellie McKay stated, ""From a woman's perspective, Ms. Day says a lot about her times as a popular icon that reconciled the conflicting ideas of what women 'should' be - the quest for love and fulfillment as homemaker and wife."

Heisman trophy presentation 2009
The Heisman Trophy Presentation 2009 airs tonight. Who do you think will win? Up for the award are Florida quarterback Tim Tebow, Texas quarterback Colt McCoy, Stanford's Toby Gerhart, Nebraska's defensive tackle Ndamukong Suh, and Alabama running back Mark Ingram. The Heisman Trophy Presentation 2009 will take place at 8/7c on ESPN and takes place in the Nokia Theatre in Times Square.
Who will win the 2009 Heisman Trophy? Many people claim that their favorite is Alabama running back Mark Ingram. Others claim that their favorites lie within the other 4 contenders. I ventured out to a local sporting goods store and asked people what they had to say about their Heisman Trophy picks:
Randy said he thinks that Ingram will win, especially after last week's SEC championship game.

lg phone projector
Here's a whole bunch of firsts for the U.S.: LG today announced the Expo, a Windows Mobile 6.5-based smartphone with a built-in fingerprint sensor and optional pico-projector powered by a Qualcomm 1-GHz processor that I assume is their Snapdragon chipset, though LG doesn't say.
Without the projector, the Expo is a reasonably sized slider smartphone at 4.5 inches by 2.24 inches by 0.65 inches. It has a slide-out QWERTY keyboard, a 5-megapixel camera, a 3.2-inch, 800-by-480 screen, Wi-Fi, HSDPA 7.2, and a giant honking 1500 mAh battery.

Boston Red Sox Tickets Sales are Overpriced in 2010
Boston Red Sox tickets for the 2010 season are now on sale and fans are struggling to buy them in more ways than one. Tickets are not only expensive for the Boston Red Sox 2010 season, they are ridiculously overpriced. Still, fans want to come out to Fenway Park to see Martinez, Youkilis, Pedroia, Ellsbury, Ortiz and some new blood that's coming to Boston for the 2010 MLB season.
A Google Phone Is Real And Testing Is Confirmed
In November the rumor of a Google Phone appeared on TechCrunch. Now the Google Phone is actually real and has been handed out to select Google employees for testing.
Google confirms on one of their blogs that an Android phone built by a partner got distributed to select Google employees for testing.
Google says this s a new concept of a mobile lab where the company tests out noew features and capabilities.
It is still not official that Google will actually sell this phone on the market, but TechCrunch says Google will sell the Google phone unlocked. Further they claim that it would support GSM based networks and run Android 2.1.
The Google Phone is also supposed to have a high-resolution OLED touchscreen (the one I want for the iPhone 4G, I suppose) and is supposed to be fast.
We see how that plays out. I still have my doubts that Google will offer a mainstream Android Phone. The Google Phone could also just be a developer device. If though the Google Phone is somewhat affordable unlocked than the smartphone business will change dramatically.
