Should be named Illegal Immigrants, and they are loyal to no one.
The San Diego Padres have moved their AAA franchise from Tucson to El Paso. This isn't shocking, considering that the Padres moved the same franchise to Tucson from Portland following the 2010 season. But the name chosen for the new franchise is already rubbing fans the wrong way - the El Paso Chihuahuas. The four other finalists in the "name the team" voting were Aardvarks, Buckaroos, Desert Gators, and Sun Dogs, none of which are much better than Chihuahuas. According to team GM Brad Taylor, the name was chosen because Chihuahuas are "represent fun and are fiercely loyal," as if that makes any sense. More from Taylor below the cut. "El Pasoans played a significant role in identifying our new team name -- they attended focus groups, suggested several hundred different names, and voted in record numbers for all the names," said Alan Ledford, president of MountainStar Sports Group. "Through the entire [branding] process, our focus was on fun and on finding something that could appeal to kids," added Taylor. "You have to believe in the brand, and stand by it, because the brand isn't just something that people hear -- it's something they see." Oh my, this won't end well. Fans on Twitter are lambasting the name, and I have a feeling the cries are only going to get stronger in the morning. [MiLB.com] [follow]
Sounds like the Illegal Mexicans had the say so on this Chihuahuas name.
Should be named Illegal Immigrants, and they are loyal to no one.
Typical comment from ignorant piece of crap. Go back to your trailer and hook up with your cousins.
Might as well have named them the El Paso Prairie Rats. Chihuahua isn't much more than a rat. Pretty lousy name for a baseball team, but then...it IS the Padres organization we're talking about here...not a lot of bright spots in that organization.
I find this offensive to hispanics.
"Something that could appeal to kids"...OK...a ferocious looking growling Chihuahua fits that description?
I think their focus groups played a joke on them.
Maybe a case of not seeing the forest for the trees?
El Paso is nothing more than North Juarez. It isn't even truly Texas and New Mexico sure as hell don't want it. Where else can a city of over 1.2 million (Juarez is 1.6m) come up with such a lame ass name. No one asked me what I wanted the name to be and if it was advertised, it must have only been on Telemundo. Baseball will never catch on here. Neither will American football...just ask the UTEP Miners. Baseball has NEVER worked in this God forsaken place. Ask anyone who supported the (now defunct) El Paso Diablos and their home field "Cohen Stadium", which is scheduled to be leveled to make way for a kiddie water park. If "they" would bring in MLS (soccer), it would take off like crazy. Soccer (futbol/fussball) is friggin global. Duh, El Paso. Really?????? Why not call the "team" the North Juarez Vatos Locos? ...........Stupid.
Oh, boo fkin hoo. The Chihuahuas at least have a name that is related to the area. Chihuahuas are obviously a Mexican-bred dog and El Paso is a predominately Mexican town. It's not like the LA Lakers or Utah Jazz or Memphis Grizzlies who kept their names despite the fact that they moved to an area where the names just don't fit. Also, it sure as hell isn't offensive to Mexicans who aren't chronic complainers and it doesn't even come close to "Redskins" which would translate to "Spics" if we were talking about Hispanics. The people voted for the name and like any election, if u didn't vote, u shouldn't bytch about it. Of course, the racists love anything that deals with other races so they can chime in with their ignorance. Trolls abound on the world wide web, nothing more than punks who would never say what they type to someone's face.

The problem appears as a splotchy dirt collection. This discoloration can resemble mildew growth, yet will not change color when washed with household bleach.
An excessive amount of wax on the surface will cause the coating to peel down to the substrate.
- Stains that come from waxy substances in the reconstituted wood products used to make hardboard siding.
- These staining substances bleed through the primer and paint, possibly causing dirt pickup, mildew, and/or poor paint adhesion.
- In severe cases, substance can be felt with the fingers as oily or waxy.
The discoloration can be identified by applying household bleach to rule out possible mildew. The presence of wax will not be affected by bleach.
Apply a few drops of water to the board surface. If the water beads up and runs off the board, a wax condition is indicated and must be removed.
Scrub the entire surface with a cleaner designed to remove waxes, such as a liquid deglosser. Rinse thoroughly with plain water.
Rescrub areas where water continues to bead up on the surface to ensure that wax deposits are removed. Allow surface to dry thoroughly before priming with Exterior Oil-Based Wood Primer.
Bare hardboard surfaces should always be primed with Exterior Oil-Based Wood Primer first.
If the condition is severe or anticipated to continue, possibly coating the surface with a light color might reduce the occurrence; dark colors tend to heat up much more than light colors causing more of the waxes to melt and leach out.

Jason Briner describes the results and significance of his latest Arctic research, which was published in the journal Science.
Areas of expertise: climate change, Arctic glaciers and ice sheets, response of glaciers and ice sheets to climate change
Jason Briner, PhD, is director of the Paleoclimate Lab in the UB Department of Geology. He and his students use glacial and lacustrine records to study climate change in the Arctic. The team's research has found that ice sheets and glaciers changed size rapidly in response to past temperature changes on Earth. These findings, which have been published in journals including Science and Nature Geoscience, provide a rare glimpse into how ice on Earth responded to climate events in prehistoric times. Briner is a member of the Geological Society of America, American Quaternary Association and American Geophysical Union.

Enchanting for NXT - New release
"Enchanting is an easy-to-use graphical programming tool for LEGO MINDSTORMS NXT robots. It is based on Scratch from the MIT Media Lab, and powered by leJOS NXJ (Java for the NXT). Enchanting is free and open-source."
One of the improvements is the installation process, which has been made much easier. Try it out, and send your feedback to Clinton so he can continue to improve Enchanting.
More information and a download link are found on the project's website.
Be sure to check out the new video about Enchanting:

Has anyone of our readers experience with Enchanting for the NXT already?
I'd like to hear about them.

Me too : )
As it is only very recently that it hasn't been a chore to install Enchanting, I think only a handful of people have tried it.
The students in my robotics class seem to like it. So far we've tried line followers and wall followers, and they've had an easier time with it than with alternative software.
If you are trying it out now and would like to share some experiences, by all means, share : )

Do you have some kind of guide for installing Enchanting (Mac and Windows)? That might help some of us take the plunge. It looks like fun but I don't want to screw up my brick....and also, how would I go back to the standard firmware.
- Jun 13, 2011, 7:55:00 PM

Hi Fay.
There are instructions on the front page of the Enchanting site describes how to install the software and how to restore the regular firmware; nevertheless, I will plan on making a video showing how to do this for future releases.

I love the Enchanting program. I use it to program my robots at home. It has not been a chore to install, but on Mac OS X, it creates several Java files in the documents directory, causing clutter. Any way to allow it to save to an alternate directory? I tried moving the files, but it just creates new ones in the Documents directory.
- Aug 1, 2012, 3:23:00 PM
- Clinton Blackmore said...
I didn't like the files spewed all over the documents directory, either. I have a version 0.1 of Enchanting up and ready for testing, and it creates a temporary directory for all of these files and then deletes them.

Drought worsens second week in a rowA new report shows that the nation's worst drought in decades has worsened for a second straight week, after conditions had improved for more than a month.
By: Jim Suhr, Associated Press
ST. LOUIS — A new report shows that the nation's worst drought in decades has worsened for a second straight week, after conditions had improved for more than a month.
The portion of the lower 48 states in extreme or exceptional drought — the two worst classifications — also rose, to 20.12 percent from last week's 19.04 percent.
The weekly U.S. Drought Monitor report released Thursday shows that 62.7 percent of the continental U.S. was in some form of drought as of Tuesday. That's up from 60.1 percent the previous week.
Drought conditions have worsened in South Dakota, but remain relatively stable in North Dakota.
The map shows 63 percent of South Dakota in the worst two categories of drought, extreme and exceptional. That is up more than 8 percent from last week. All of the state is in some form of drought.
The portion of South Dakota in those two classifications rose more than 8 percentage points, to 63.32 percent.
About 91 percent of North Dakota is in drought, unchanged over the week. The state has no areas in extreme or exceptional drought, and the amount of land in severe drought increased only 3 percent over the week.
More than 83 percent of Minnesota is in severe drought, up from about 43 percent last week. The entire state is in some stage of drought, with 25 percent extreme.
Montana's conditions remained the same, with just more than 45 percent of the state free of drought, and none in exceptional drought. Almost 4.5 percent remains in extreme drought.
The dry conditions intensified sharply in Oklahoma, where 90.5 percent of the state is in extreme or exceptional drought. That's up 19 percentage points.

Exploring South Africa on a motorcycle with Kaapstad Tours
Fazielah Williams
Fazielah Williams has lived in and loved her Mother City since birth. Having lived all over the Peninsula during her childhood, she now calls the picturesque City Bowl home and likes nothing more than watching the sun set over Table Bay from the window of her apartment.
A lover of the arts and proud Cape Town fanatic, Fazielah began her writing career by spending many hours as a child conjuring fantastical stories that featured independent heroines from faraway lands who saved the Prince instead. This Capetonian princess has enjoyed stints as a magical arts PRO and TV publicist before finding her calling as a travel writer.
When not waxing lyrical about the Fairest Cape's most loved attractions and activities and embarking on unexpected adventures, Fazielah can usually be found taking in a show at one of the City's fabulous theatres.
It isn't every day that you meet a dashing English biker with a passion for Cape Town who is determined to travel 6 000km through South Africa and explore its national parks. So naturally I was impressed and intrigued by Alex Jackson when we met recently for coffee to discuss his travel plans.
Renowned as a field guide and operator of the successful motorcycle tours company, Kaapstad Tours, Jackson has been tasked by the South African National Parks to explore the viability of motorcycle tours and routes through the country's gorgeous national parks. He'll do this on the back of a Kawasaki KLR650, which, I'm told, is a dual-sport motorcycle that works well on both paved and unpaved roads ... quite handy for a ride around our rustic roads, I should think.
This lucky fella will get to meet the amazing residents of our country and take in the sights of our spectacular national parks, including the Western Cape's Table Mountain, Bontebok, Agulhas and Garden Route national parks. Having enjoyed the natural wonders of the West Coast National Park myself last year, I'll admit that I am just a wee bit jealous of Jackson.
Armed with his motorcycle, a camera and a can-do attitude, Jackson set off for his sightseeing adventure on Monday and published the following post on his Over the Rainbow blog about his departure from the Mother City:
And so it begins!
Day One of this 6 000km solo ride around the national parks of South Africa started with an easy drive into the city of Cape Town to pick up the KLR650 from the guys at Cape Bike Rentals, who have kindly donated the use of the bike for this trip. Paper work done and it was an almighty ride of about 3 minutes to pop in to see the team at Cape Town Tourism.
I decided to take the scenic route out of town, which took me up past Table Mountain. This road leads you to the famous Camps Bay area where the views from the top of the hill are simply breathtaking. My aim was to follow this road along to ride the Chapman's Peak road and on to Simon's Town for lunch, but I was having so much fun on the road and chatting to tourists from all over the world that lunch got missed.
I have heard many bikers say that they know of a road that is probably one of the best biking roads in the world. Well guess what … today I rode what i think has to be a serious contender for the title of THE best. The R44 coast road from Gordon's Bay to Kleinmond is simply superb for motorcycling. Set on the Whale Route in the Cape Overberg region and part of Table Mountain National Park, it is so much fun to ride that I only stopped for a couple of photos ... my bad!
During the season southern right whales can be seen all along its coastline. Unfortunately right now it is not the season but I did manage to spot some seals on the rocks just off the beach.
A nice easy ride today taking my time to get the feel of the bike and soaking up the sun, finally arriving at the whale-watching town of Hermanus. Staying with old friends tonight that run the Aloe Guest House on Main Road and have just finished a wonderful dinner down at The Zebra Crossing in town.
Tomorrow will be a lazy start (because I can) and I will be heading east towards Agulhas in the rain I hear ... hope they are wrong. Now for a well-earned sleep I think ... That's if my cheeks stop aching from all the smiling of riding that coast road today.
Thanks for reading
We will be following Alex Jackson's trip online and will be re-publishing a few of his trip-centric blogs from his website, http://www.kaapstadmat.com. Follow his epic journey on Twitter at @KaapstadTours. Keep checking back here for updates.

I don't actually go running. If I did, I could understand them only lasting 6 months. I'm just on the treadmill 5/6 times a week. I don't even run on that, I just do about 4mph for about 3 miles. I thought I would be able to get at least a year out of each pair.
Mycroft, even though you're rough on them, 4 months is awfully short. I'm assuming you've tried a few different brands?

CU-Boulder is committed to excellence in all aspects of personal and academic life. Alcohol abuse and misuse is a significant impediment to achieving this excellence. Therefore, CU-Boulder permits only responsible, legal consumption of alcohol. The university complies with all federal, state, and local laws concerning alcohol and illegal drugs. As a CU-Boulder student, you are responsible for acquainting yourself with the laws and university policies regarding alcohol and illegal drugs.
Like most universities with buildings dating to the 1970s, the CU-Boulder campus includes a number of facilities built with materials that contain asbestos. To help in the prevention of unnecessary disturbance of asbestos, it is important for you to not disturb any building materials in CU-Boulder facilities. www.colorado.edu/ehs/programs/asbestos.html

Yes, we have bears in Colorado. Remember this when hiking: carrying packs of yummy, odorous food makes you attractive to bears. And occasionally we have bears in Boulder. Stay safe—and prevent the bears from being killed for being a nuisance—by keeping your neighborhood clean. To avoid problems with bears and other wildlife, consider the following tips:
Hazardous storms and other emergencies occasionally force the campus to close. Closures for emergencies that occur at night normally are announced by 6:00 a.m. Daytime closures or evacuations are announced as decisions are made. Information on the nature of the emergency and any necessary instructions will be posted on the main CU-Boulder website and sent via campus text alerts. www.colorado.edu | 303-492-4636

In the event of an emergency during working hours, you may call our main number and press "2" for immediate professional assistance. counseling.colorado.edu | Center for Community S440 | 303-492-6766
From time to time, we all have difficulties with our personal relationships, social life, classes, or finances. As a result, we may feel depressed or anxious without being able to link these feelings to a single problem. Other crises arise when we are victims of physical assault, harassment, or discrimination; have a serious substance abuse problem; or feel violent or suicidal. If you find yourself in a crisis, don't hesitate to call the Office of Victim Assistance at 303-492-8855 for free and confidential assistance.
Any CU-Boulder student, staff, or faculty member may receive a free safe escort by vehicle to or from campus and throughout Boulder city limits. CU NightRide is based out of the UMC at the reception desk on the second floor. Campus escorts are provided by a micro-minivan and are usually available within five minutes. Rides are available by heading to the CU NightRide dispatch desk in the UMC or from any location by calling 303-492-SAFE (7233). umc.colorado.edu/cunightride | 303-492-SAFE (7233)

Is Group Therapy for You?
What Are the Benefits of Group Therapy?

- Increase self-awareness and self-esteem
- Gain insight into the ways others perceive you
- Discover effective patterns of relating to others
- Develop more satisfying relationships
- Receive support for sharing common problems
- Learn how to apply new behaviors to situations outside the group
What Happens in the Session?
What Types of Groups Are There?
- General therapy groups —Most of these types of groups focus on self-understanding and improving your overall relationships with others. The therapist leading the group will often ask members to define goals they would like to achieve within the timeframe of the group therapy program. Most of these groups contain both men and women, but some are specifically intended for men or women only.
- Specialized therapy groups —There are several therapy groups for people with specific needs. These include groups that deal with women's issues, sexual assault, stress management, men's issues, parenting, and divorce. Before joining any therapy group, talk to the therapist to make sure that it is a good fit for you.
- Support group —These differ from therapy groups in several ways. In many support groups, facilitators are not required to have professional credentials, although some may have them. Support groups are intended to offer general support by having members offer support to each other, whereas therapy groups improve behavioral patterns and social interactions in all types of relationships.

They rarely view us as the Garden State and see how beautiful it is, down here in the rural areas."

I feel uncertain with what tablet to get.
I have been looking at tablets to take notes whilst video recording a lecture. Only heard people with the Surface doing something similar.
Been thinking of either an Android or Windows 8/Windows 8 RT. (Haven't seen laptops with a camera on the back)
Was thinking between Nexus 10, Samsung Note 10.1, Asus Android Tablets, Acer W510 (Windows 8), Asus ME400C(Windows 8), Asus Vivo RT and Surface RT.
Only reason I considered Nexus 10 is because I could use Pleco https://play.google....esesystem&hl=en
Have any of you had experience with Tablets for note taking at University, or even better if any of you have used their tablets to video record lectures you attend for later watching?
Thank you

SFC Ice Bowl Results!
January 18, 2003 09:53PM
Ok. The format might not be great, but here's the results for the 8th SFC Ice Bowl. We actually had 32 players who played two rounds of 21 holes. We had four aces, but only two were during tournament play. The two tournament aces were thrown by two players on the same card on the same hole, back to back, we were told. We had temps that started out at about 12-degrees and rose to just above freezing. There was also some wind, which is unusual for our course. To make it an authentic ice bowl, we have and 8-10 snow flurries. We also collected a fair amount of canned goods that will be donated to the local food bank.

Thanks for getting the results up so quick - the points will be updated tomorrow. For all the TDs that read this - when you post the results if you can remember let us know if you will be TDing the same tournament next year and give a specific date or (for example) the third Saturday of next January. That will help in determining the tournament schedule for the following year and hopefully make things easier planning wise. Thanks

John, these are the dates for our Lafayette tournaments every year:
Mid-Winter - second Saturday in January
Spring - First full weekend in April
Late-Summer - Second Saturday in September
Use Pat Daniels as the TD for all of these.

Comments about Teak Windowbox Brackets:
I have window boxes (great, self-contained, self-watering types) which I put up on existing supports a few years ago. Unfortunately, the wooden supports rotted out because sometimes Wisconsin weather is rainy for too many days in a row and the supports get WET. These supports are very solid, very strong, and the teak won't rot.

Artist Carol Boye is no stranger to East End. "I've grown up on the water out here, I've been sailing here my whole life," she said. In her spare time, Boye enjoys being out on the water not only sailing but crabbing, clamming and even helping an 85 year-old friend set nets for fishing. However, in the past few years she has noticed a growing problem that has threatened the East End: the quality of local waters and sea-life have decreased. Like many concerned seafaring folk before her, Boye decided to take action. But perhaps in a more unconventional way: she decided to put together a cookbook.
Of all the different ways to support a cause, why a cookbook? "It just popped into my head and it just seemed like a really good idea to kind of tie my passions together." Boye explained.
Following in this aquatic theme, the cookbook is entitled, "Go Fish" and is comprised of fish recipes by local residents, artists and chefs as well as images of local artwork depicting the East End.
The cookbook features 136 recipes, from the familiar baked clams to the more foreign "Mille Feuillie de Saumon Mordue d'Huites Grattinees". Celebrity chef George Hirsch—who contributed a recipe for "Peconic Scallops and Pasta with Garlic Sauce"—described "Go Fish" as being special because it includes a wide assortment of meals. "It's very varied and I think it's really wonderful that [Boye] chose a whole variety of the community to come together…it's just wonderful to have this collection of our community because everyone brings something to the table, so to speak."
According to Chef Randy Reiss, of 230 Elm Street Catering, what makes "Go Fish" different than other fish cookbooks is that the fish in it can be caught and cooked in the area. He describes the flavors in "Go Fish" as one of a kind. "[The fish] are native to this area and you're only going to get that unique flavor here." he said, noting that there are some species of fish that exist here on the East End that don't exist anywhere else in the world.
The recipes in the cookbook submitted by Reiss are "Grilled Oyster Lemon Lime Chive Buerr Blance with Caviar" and "Clams Casino," both of which he said are big hits at parties he caters.
Reiss also applauded the cookbook for its friendliness towards the average cook who "wants to develop a palette for East End food" and "wants an adventure" when experimenting with new cuisine. Hirsch agrees. He describes the taste of East End fish as "pristine" and simple. It's food you can take straight from the sea, to the flame, to the plate. "It's already been well flavored just by living in our waters, no need to muck it up," he said.
By supporting the "Go Fish" cookbook, readers also support the preservation of the East End's unique qualities. "["Go Fish"] will bring greater awareness to the connection between the people and the resource and hopefully they will no longer take for granted the bounty of the bay," Peconic Baykeeper president Kevin McAllister said.
The book benefits two important programs: The Peconic Baykeeper, who plays guardian to local waters by enforcing protective policies; and the reseeding program, responsible for restocking the bays with shellfish.
"There's something special about sitting at a seafood restaurant on the water and eating seafood caught out of that bay," Boye added, "If you take that away from here, we lose a lot."
"You gotta have a bowl of mussels or a lobster or a couple of dozen of clams over the course of the summer or else its not summer. It's apart of what the summer time ritual is," said Don Sullivan owner of Southampton Publick house and close friend of Boye.
Boye continued to say that passionate effort was put into the book by all of those involved. As Chef Reiss said, "It really comes from the heart."
"Go Fish" is available for purchase at several East End locations. For the full list, visit www.gofishbenefit.com. The book sells for $24.95.

If you've visited Te Papa recently, and especially if you've brought children, you may have noticed some changes in the Nature Space Discovery Centre. Part of this area was revamped in October to highlight the plight of wildlife affected by the RENA oil spill.
This month, I have been working with Melanie Dash, Nature Space Supervisor, along with conservation, mount making, writing, interpretation, and installation staff to present a small Botany display. This display is located opposite the RENA display in Nature Space on level 2. Melanie and I have also sought images and advice from the Department of Conservation, Ngā Manu Trust, Auckland Council, and MAF.
The display features one unusual fungus (Cordyceps robertsii) and two plant species, kauri (Agathis australis), and "flower of the underworld" (Dactylanthus taylorii). The aim with the botany items, as with the RENA display, is to foster interest in current conservation issues.
Kauri is one of New Zealand's most notable tree species, but kauri forests in Northland, Great Barrier Island, and West Auckland are being infected by a soil borne fungus. The fungus causes disease in kauri which excrete resin from their trunks, defoliate, and often die. We can all help limit the spread of this disease by learning more about kauri dieback.
Dactylanthus is the perfect plant to highlight conservation issues in New Zealand. It's current conservation status of 'serious decline' is due to habitat destruction, herbivory from possums and loss of pollinators (short-tailed bat) through predation. In other words, a combination of the main causes of biodiversity decline in New Zealand. The Department of Conservation is a good source of information on this species.
To find out more about the unusual fungus I mentioned, you'll have to come to Te Papa.

Is there enough room for a text book or two?
- Asked by Karl S from Arkadelphia
Kenneth Cole New York 15" Canvas Triple Gusset Top Zip Portfolio
Product No Longer Available
1 Answer from the Community
Yes, there is plenty of space/compartments for the MBP, iPad, iPhone and probably one thick (3-4") textbook and a thinner (1-2") one. 4-5 books of normal reading material can easily fit in. I use it to carry my Apple gear, cables and power adapter, and books while traveling. I think it's a great combination of style, form and function, but its definitely on the higher end of the price range.

The Great and Terrible News about American Health Care
If you've been paying attention to debates on health care over the last few years, you're probably aware of how poorly the American system performs compared to other similar countries. We're the only advanced industrialized democracy that doesn't provide universal health coverage to our citizens, and though there are many variations in those systems ranging from the completely socialized (as in Great Britain) to the largely private but heavily, heavily regulated (as in Switzerland), they all do better than we do on almost every important measure you could come up with.
That's the big picture. But a new report from the National Research Council and the Institute of Medicine compared the United States to 16 similar countries (mostly in Europe but including Canada, Australia, and Japan) on a range of health measures has some fascinating details. Unsurprisingly, the United States comes out at or near the bottom on most measures of health. We have the highest infant mortality, the highest obesity rates, and the highest rates of teen pregnancy. And given our current debate about gun violence, this is one data point that will inevitably be noted in stories about this report (this graph and a few others can be found here):
Why are so many more Americans killed violently than in other countries? It isn't because we're just a bunch of barbarians, and it isn't because we get in more fights. The reason is simple: guns. If two French or Spanish or Japanese guys have a dispute, it doesn't end with one shooting the other.
But there's something else in the report I want to highlight. This is the graph that jumped out at me. It shows the rank of the United States on mortality from all causes at different ages:
We're at or near the bottom for everyone up until you get to people in their 70s. And then our rank jumps up near the top. So an American who's 20 or 40 or 60 is more likely to die in a given year than his or her peers in any of these countries, but an American who's 70 or 80 or 90 is less likely to die than his or peers in almost all of these countries. And why might that be?
Without question, there are many factors that contribute. For instance, we have more poverty and higher income inequality than any of these countries, and it may be that by the time you get to age 70 and beyond, many people at higher risk for disease and death due to poverty, violence, and so on have already died, leaving a population more skewed to the wealthy and healthy. But the factor that likely makes the greatest contribution is simple: Medicare. Americans over 65 have the benefit of guaranteed, affordable health coverage, which Americans under 65 don't have. Once you get on Medicare, you go from having no health security to having as much health security as someone who lives in one of the other countries.
I have to wonder what people who defend the private health care system think when they see facts like these. Do they assume it's all lies, part of an international egghead conspiracy to bad-mouth America? Do they actually believe that if we can just get our health care system more privatized, then we'll find that there's some magical privatization threshold we can pass where all our problems will be solved, despite all the evidence showing that the more private a health care system is the worse it performs? I really don't know.

What a fascinating article -- thank you! But I do have an observation, I think. In the last paragraph, there are some rhetorical questions about those who resist universal health care, and how they might feel about the statistics reported. I doubt that feeling is an issue here. I believe that money is the issue here. Didn't Sinclair Lewis say, 'It's difficult for a man to understand something, when his paycheck depends on his not understanding it.'?

"But the factor that likely makes the greatest contribution is simple: Medicare. Americans over 65 have the benefit of guaranteed, affordable health coverage, which Americans under 65 don't have"
This conclusion doesn't make sense. By your own logic, Medicare simply provides Americans with the *same* care citizens of other first world countries have had all their lives. So while it might explain outcomes that improve from the bottom to somewhere in the middle of the pack, it doesn't begin to explain why outcomes should jump from the bottom to the very top of the pack.
Unless that is, the American health care system, for all its faults, is delivering a better quality of care to Americans 65 and over than is received by the senior citizens of other countries.

You shoud be embarrased. There is a difference between a lie and a mistake but worse the point is the cause of death from violence not all deaths. There are probably not too many violent deaths from cars. If you took the time to consider constructive conversation and think for yourself instead of simply poly-parotting NRA talking points you might find yourself learning something.
Fri, 2013-01-11 08:31
"Why are so many more Americans killed violently than in other countries? It isn't because we're just a bunch of barbarians, and it isn't because we get in more fights. The reason is simple: guns."
This is a lie.
More people die in in auto accidents than die by guns each year and drunk drivers kill more people than do murders using guns. http://www.centurycouncil.org/drunk-driving/drunk-driving-fatalities-national-statistics More people are killed each year with hammers and clubs than with rifles. http://www.newsmax.com/Newsfront/assault-weapon-deaths-statistics/2013/01/03/id/469982?s=al So, should we outlaw automobiles? alcohol? hammers? clubs? IF we did, we would save more lives than if we outlaw guns. But who cares about facts? This whole discussion is based on lies and emotion, two very dangerous basis for an important discussion.
Fri, 2013-01-11 09:10
Stating the obvious: obesity rates and mortality rates from use of guns have absolutely nothing to do with the quality of healthcare. Obesity is due to people sticking too much food in their mouths, and gun violence is caused by people pulling triggers. We already have socialized medecine in this country, it's called the emergency room. Anyone with any ailment can go to an emergency room and get treated--and most of those people who don't have health insurance never pay, thus making health insurance much more expensive for the rest of us that do pay for health insurance. Thus we have a large number of Mexican women who come across the border right before their babies are due, and go to an emergency room when it is time to deliver. Free quality healthcare plus they have a little U.S. citizen. Such a deal! As far as the European socialized medicine goes, I lived in Europe for seberal years and those statistics are wildly slewed because most people who have the means go to private doctors and hospitals where they can get quality treatment. Also those countries don't have the high rate of poverty that we do in the U.S.--once again the poverty rate has nothing to do with the quality of healthcare, but does skew the rates of things like infant mortality.
Fri, 2013-01-11 09:52
Coming from someone who obviously doesn't have a clue. Calling the use of emergency rooms "socialized medicine" exposes how little you know about how heathcare via the emergency room and universal healthcare in other countries work. Of curse, if you don't really care to have a clue then you can fight for your team as a true believer without regard for the facts.
Fri, 2013-01-11 09:10
What an incredibly simplistic analysis. American levels of obesity, teen pregnancy and violence have nothing to do with the health care system. Our infant mortality rate is virtually identical to Europe for all income levels above poverty so the problem is entirely among the Medicaid population, i.e. those already in a government run health care program. You want to attribute the higher survival rate for seniors to the government run program Medicare but ignore how much the other government run health care program is part of the problem. Obamacare, by the way, cuts Medicare and expands Medicaid.
The reason the survival rates for seniors are so much higher in the United States is because we don't ration care for them. Keeping people alive for those extra two years when they are afflicted with the diseases of the aged is enormously expensive but we as a society have decided we want to bear that cost. If you want to attribute that to Medicare fine but I don't see how that argues for nationalizing the rest of the health care system.

What a great article showing the problem of assuming correlation without any evidence of causation. If the hypothesis put forth was true, you would see the US rankings jump to near the top almost immediately at 65, yet you see that we remain near the bottom until almost 80, a full 15 years of Medicare coverage.
The biggest problems with the WHO rankings are the number of items that they include that have nothing to do with our healthcare delivery system. Exactly what do highest obesity rates, the highest rates of teen pregnancy, and gun violence have to do with our Helathcare system? Nothing!
The other effect you are seeing towards the right side of your graph is the result of a highly socialized medical system on older people. As a result of these socialized medical systems there is a good amount of rationing being done in these countries. A large part of our healthcare expense, is that we do not ration care for our elderly (a tought choice between two options to be sure). So while we do everything to keep our elderly alive at great expense other countries let their die as a cost savings measure.
Also, as a final note, Switzerland has among the highest gun ownership in the world and yet they are near the bottom for gun deaths.
Fri, 2013-01-11 23:55
While Switzerland has high levels of weapons in homes, these are predominantly weapons owned by the Swiss militia which resevists must keep in their homes, but they no longer keep ammo at home, and when they did, it was sealed against use unless called to duty. While private weapons ownership is allowed, the ownership is strictly regulated, and ammo is subsidized and restricted to gun ranges, other than ammo suited to hunting, and then in limited quantities as needed for hunting. Carrying loaded guns is heavily regulated - most weapons are carried for military drills and are unloaded.
The Swiss recognize that most guns are designed to kill people, and thus restrict their use by regulating their ownership and ammo to protect the public health.

Good information but the conclusion is lacking. I have lived in a few of the countries with universal type healthcare and there is another reason why the US does better with life expectancy at the end of life instead of the middle or beginning. In the countries with universal healthcare extraordinary measures are not taken for the elderly which might give them a few more years to live; it's just too expensive. Here in the States if you have health insurance doctors will continue to treat the elderly with everything possible right up until there is absolutely nothing left to be done. This is not true in many European countries. They do have panels which weight cost to benefit and this means that an elderly person without additional resources doesn't get the same extent of treatment as if he/she were to be in the US. We tend to here to be blind to the cost/benefit analysis which is done routinely in Europe.
This is the trade off. There is limited resource and it has to be distributed in some manner. For me, I'd rather it be left up to the doctor as to when and how I'm treated and not left up to a panel deciding if my life expectancy warrants it or not.
Fri, 2013-01-11 13:37
I agree with you. I live under the Canadian system where care is rationed by waiting lists. That amounts to, in some cases, years of life wasted for non-life-threatening disorders and in some cases people have died while waiting for care. Medical care delayed is medical care denied. People on waiting lists experience an acute disorder becoming chronic, and much harder and more expensive to treat than if it had been treated in a timely manner.
Even worse, in Canada it is actually illegal for someone to pay a doctor for care if that care is covered by the health care system. You have no choice but wait your turn in a chronically under-served system, unless you leave the country. No other universal health care system in the world denies patients this right to use their own money for their own care. Furthermore, due to cutbacks, many newer treatments are not available because of costs, and so doctors won't even tell you that there are alternatives to the care you get, because it is not available in Canada. Cost-benefit studies make them stick with older methods of care. This is what will happen with Obama's IPAB.
Whatever you do in the US, don't copy the Canadian system.
Fri, 2013-01-11 20:03
Unless you are wealthy enough to travel to the US to avoid the wait and pay cash, if you lived in the US, the chances are high, over one-in-ten, you will not be able to afford health care insurance or pay out of pocket, and thus be denied access to doctors or hospitals until you are so sick hospitals are required to see you and treat you if they have an ER regardless of your ability to pay.
Millions of Americans have their health care rationed at many times the extremes of Canada. But that is something those who get socialized health care from socialist corporate managers who want free company paid health care which must be provided all employees to be tax exempt, refuse to admit to about the US health care system. But they believe that the biggest problem in Canada is wealth is not used to decide who lives, and poverty who dies.
Sat, 2013-01-12 22:12
"Millions of Americans have their health care rationed at many times the extremes of Canada. " More extreme than waiting until you die? More extreme than waiting for surgery until it won't help anymore? I am constantly being told that conditions in America re worse - they are not. They are very bad for some people, and pretty good for most people in terms of access and in terms of quality of care. In Canada, everyone gets the lowest care available. It is not a better system just because everyone is in the same leaky boat.
Americans without health care have to go to the ER for care. Guess what - so do Canadians who do have health care. We have extreme shortages of doctors such that some town hold lotteries for the few places available. Many people have gone for years without having a GP, even pregnant women. Universal health care in Canada is absolutely no guarantee of actual access to health care.
I have no idea what your last sentence means.

The kind of lazy partisanship and ideological dogma seen in this article (and it happens on the left and the right) prevents us from seeing reality as it truly is. It might help if you looked at all of the numbers in the links you provided.
What you'll see is that the most heavily socialized system (UK) is also very close to the bottom. That kind of blows your whole premise out of the water. The numbers also show that the U.S. does reasonably well (top half) when it comes to treating cancer.
It is areas like heart disease and diabetes that we do more poorly, along with traffic accidents and violent crime. This tells us things about America that we already knew, and which cannot be explained by the lack of government largesse. These are lifestyle issues.
Traffic is something that is essentially unavoidable due to the geographic size of the U.S. Violent crime deaths are overwhelmingly the result of black-on-black, drug-related gang activity. And heart disease and diabetes are a result of diet.
No amount of government-paid health insurance or socialization will stop those phenomena from happening.
If you're willing to accept political incorrectness, I would suggest it could be informative to control not only for age in these statistics, but also for race and ethnicity.
The United States is an increasingly complicated country, and one that perhaps cannot continue to function much longer. Our society is not comparable to many of the others listed, and therefore comparisons are apples to oranges.
Bottom line: socialized medicine will not make people choose healthy lifestyles. As shown by the poor performance of the UK, socialized medicine does not reduce mortality rates.

Just to add a brief summary: In the same report where the United States ranks last, the United Kingdom ranks fourth from the bottom.
"I have to wonder what people who defend the private health care system think when they see facts like these."
I think you're a partisan hack who only pays attention to "facts" that seem to justify your ideological dogma, while discarding equally true and obvious facts that ruin your argument.
Fri, 2013-01-11 19:48
Health care costs in the US are 2.5 times greater than in the UK per person, but in the UK, everyone gets pretty much the same care, while in the US, tens of millions have their care rationed until they have money, the right employer, or qualify for Medicare or Medicaid.
If the UK doubled their spending on health care, they would surpass the UK on outcomes, and still be cheaper on a per person bases than the US.
Are you arguing the US should increase its spending on health care like the UK is drastically increasing its spending by importing US health care corporate hospital chains and professional practices?
Fri, 2013-01-11 14:16
The other thing to remember is that deaths by gun violence are almost exclusively an urban issue, often a drug related issue, and unfortunately an African American related issue.
The Democratically run cities are breeding ground for gun violence. Chicago has the strictest gun laws in the country and the worst gun violence (and run completely by Democrats).
Finally, we should remember that gun violence is declining dramatically already in the U.S. British women are twice as likely to be raped, Australian women are three times more likely to be raped. British homes are more than three time more likely to suffer a "hot burglary" where the owner is present - a very dangerous situation.
Fri, 2013-01-11 16:45
I doubt having a gun is likely to help anyone and may kill others but so what about the facts. I believe a person has a choice, regardless of law or constitution, in anything, including having a gun. And I think the Founders agreed then, and that the people do now.
Fri, 2013-01-11 23:12
The criteria for whether your offering good health care includes the number of teen pregnancies and firearm deaths? How about car accidents where over thirty thousand Americans are killed. Three times as many die from auto accidents than firearms so it must be a real drag on our health care.
Where does survive ability of cancers or health issues come in?
Sat, 2013-01-12 08:34
The only mortality graph that would be relevant would be one that only includes deaths where health care could make a difference or separate graphs for each type of incident. Americans are fatter and have more gun violence, so graphs broken out on those type of criteria would make sense.
One could argue that the graph above argues in favor of the US system. Before age 70 your cause of death probably has much less to with the health care system and more to do with gun violence, drunk driving, driving in rush hour traffic, etc. After age 70, the US improves when the health system matters more.
Sat, 2013-01-12 17:55
What do violence levels and obesity rates have to do with arguing for or against our privatized health care system? Over-eating causes obesity. Statistics show that were we to take away the black-on-black male violence that plagues the country's biggest urban centers, our violence levels would be on par with other Western nations. Teen pregnancy is the inevitable result of irresponsible sexual behavior among detached, immature, stupid youths, educated and brought up in a country where radical individualism and narcissistic self-empowerment and sexual gratification reign, where young men and women are taught to express themselves at intervals not unlike animals.
So, cease with your sophomoric logic attempting to associate things that might correlate with one another but in no way cause. Our main ailments are cultural decadence marked by an inability to take responsibility for the reality we observe around us and do not like, whether liberals or conservatives we are. Stop projecting blame on privatized health care. All of the afflictions you cited would remain were we to adopt the socialist health system of Fabian wet dreams.

From NI Week to BrickFest
First, NI Week had at least two other things that really need to be mentioned and hit on much harder than I did. National Instruments announced their Toolkit for the NXT, a way of programming the NXT in LabVIEW. Not only does this open up some amazing power for you LabVIEW folks, but it also lets you author your own blocks for incorperation into NXT-G. To say I'm excited about this is an understatement - essentially, the development team at NI is releasing a toolkit very similar in many regards to the one they used to develop NXT-G in the first place! There are a few of us that will be beta testing this, and I look forward to all the neat stuff I can start learning "under the hood". More details as I learn (and a quick footnote: anybody have suggestions on how to get up to speed ASAP in LabVIEW 7?).
Also, I've yet to mention Dick Market's demo of RobotC and all the fun toys (in some cases literally) he showed off. RobotC is looking like it will be a very nice, powerfull language (alas, I've not used it yet, due to being on a Mac and time constraints). Filip & Dick have posted a nice write-up over on bNXT, and if you've not looked it over I encourage you to do so. It has a lot of the features I liked in the RCX firmware, such as preemptive multi-tasking, events, arrays, and a bunch of new goodies like floating point... and speed! The hardware Dick brought was equally interesting (including a remote control that is slightly more professional looking than mine... see the picture. And a tiny camera with on-board processing). Thanks Dick, and I'm looking forward to learning yet another wonderful language for the NXT.
Sidenote: pause for a moment and think of just how much stuff is out there for the NXT... not yet a month after the official release date. NXT-G, Robolab, RobotC, NBC, Java on the way, MS Studio, etc., etc... and many custom sensors already either released or close at hand from HiTechnic, Vernier, Mindsensors, etc. Let's see, where was the hobby community a month after the RCX release... Wonderful stuff. Thank you to LEGO, NI, 3rd party developers... and especially the community!
Tommorow starts BrickFest 2006, a LEGO Fan convention in Washington D.C., and that's where I'll be headed tommorow. So while I won't be posting, I will be taking lots of notes. A fair number of the MDP are going to be there, and we'll likely have the largest collection of NXT's in one place outside of perhaps some schools (can you say, "BlueTooth"?). Line following, remote control, Zamor guns blasting the spectators... I'll take pictures. And if you live in the area, drop on by: BrickFest will have a public expo Saturday and Sunday. and I promise some new things will be revealed...
See you in D.C.!

When you say "more prefesional", I'm guessing yours is the game controler? I like that one better anyway, is it bluetooth?

Hey, Brian -- just wanted to say thanks for your kind words on NIWeek and our challenge. I, for one, certainly had fun putting it on. :)

Well, if anyones watching these comments, I'm back... with very little sleep, but more ideas than my head can comfortably hold. Posts soon, on sensors, comments, new languages, new demos, and competitions at BrickFest.
