The Rogers Home phone subscriptions were up by 40,000, down from 65,000 new subscriptions in Q4 2007. Rogers continues to hold its monopoly on the mobile GSM networks in Canada.

Colon cancer is one of the leading causes of death. Irrespective of family history, everyone is exposed to the risk. About 90% of colon cancer cases begin from non-cancerous tumors, polyps, which could form in the large bowel. Screening with a colonoscopy will painlessly remove any polyps hence almost entirely reducing your risk of developing the horrible disease. The good news is that about 90% of colon cancer cases are preventable through a simple (yes, simple) colonoscopy.
