"Early detection of a new infectious disease—and potentially the survival of those who are infected—requires that sick people have access to the health care system and receive early treatment. Delays in seeking care can lead to delays in the recognition and control of an epidemic and in the treatment of patients. Indeed, experts have hypothesized that one reason the mortality associated with the current epidemic of swine-origin influenza A (H1N1) virus (S-OIV) was so high in Mexico is that many people delayed seeking care, in part because of its cost. In the United States, lack of health insurance is a key reason for delays in seeking care; health care reform that results in universal coverage would facilitate earlier detection of new diseases, enable disease-control efforts to be instituted, and alleviate the population's vulnerability that is attributable to delayed care."Read the whole thing here.
Wherein we ponder vexing issues in infection prevention and control, inside and outside the hospital.

Healthcare reform and infection prevention
3 comments:
No sane individual would argue against everyone having access to healthcare. The question is: Why do you think the government has the ability to resolve this issue? It is a body of corrupted, self serving lawyers beholden to lobbyist groups and industry with literally endless red tape and bureaucracy. Medicare: bankrupt, Medicaid: bankrupt, Social Security: bankrupt. The Mayo Clinic has denounced this bill stating:ReplyDelete
"the proposed legislation misses the opportunity to help create higher quality, more affordable health care for patients... In fact, it will do the opposite, because the proposals aren't patient-focused or results-oriented. The real losers will be the citizens of the United States."
The recent death of Ted Kennedy has been cheaply exploited by those in favor of pushing this bill through. Ask yourself this question: If this bill passed, would a 76 year old man (with the government's insurance) diagnosed with a malignant glioma have access to surgery, chemotherapy, and radiation that could only extend his life by a matter of months with NO chance of cure? Ted Kennedy had every right to pursue that care, and regardless of my ethical beliefs, I shudder at the thought of living in a country where a body of individuals in Washington DC determine the value of another human being's life, and ration his treatment options - under the government option he would "get some pain pills," (to quote Obama).
There are other ways to lower cost, and improve access without uprooting our entire system. This bill speaks nothing to tort reform, insurance company regulation to prevent pre-existing condition clauses, tax credits to help pay for private policies, and on and on...
read Mayo article from The Washington Times here:
Assuming that you are sane (and therefore in favor of universal access), please provide your constructive suggestions for how to provided universal coverage.ReplyDelete
Remember also that Ted Kennedy, as a senator and as a senior, did have government healthcare.
Although you neglected to answer any of the questions I asked in my post, I will oblige you with a response.ReplyDelete
First off, Ted Kennedy was independently wealthy, and I dont think medicare footed the bill for his entire treatment. Even if it did, I'm not talking about our current system, I'm referring to the healthcare rationing proposed in this bill.
The only thing truly wrong with our healthcare system is cost. Our innovation is unparalleled and our access is superb (if you have insurance). Access is atrocious in socialized systems. Everyone loves using the infant mortality/life expectancy statistics as an argument to support a socialized system, however, minimal investigation reveals these numbers have been contaminated by egregious reporting bias. http://www.ajph.org/cgi/reprint/84/5/850
I included some suggestions at the end of my post, one of which was tort reform. Frivolous lawsuits and ambulance chasing lawyers have driven up the cost of malpractice insurance, forcing doctors to practice defensive medicine. That translates to physicians ordering an immeasurable amount of unnecessary diagnostic tests. Diagnostic testing takes up 1/5 of total healthcare expenditure in the United States. The politicians are not interested in addressing this because they are beholden to the trial lawyers that fund their campaigns - this is an utterly reprehensible conflict of interest that no one seems to care much about. Why would I trust these people to uphold some higher moral standard when they usurp the healthcare industry?
Obama himself stated:
"Let's take the example of something like diabetes, one of --- a disease that's skyrocketing, partly because of obesity, partly because it's not treated as effectively as it could be. Right now if we paid a family -- if a family care physician works with his or her patient to help them lose weight, modify diet, monitors whether they're taking their medications in a timely fashion, they might get reimbursed a pittance. But if that same diabetic ends up getting their foot amputated, that's $30,000, $40,000, $50,000 -- immediately the surgeon is reimbursed.
In reality, medicare riemburses 740-1140 dollars for a leg amputation (including follow up care). This is a dangerous distortion, and I am frankly dismayed that our president is making decisions about healthcare policy with this level carelessness. Furthermore, it makes physicians out to be greed-infested pigs - sorry, I disagree.
The entire premise that there are 47 million people that cannot afford healthcare is a farce. In 2006, the Census Bureau reported this breakdown of the 46.6 million uninsured: 9.5 million are not US citizens (and Obama does not plan on covering them!), 17 million live in households with incomes exceeding 50,000 dollars that could presumably afford some type of health insurance, 18 million were age 18-34, most of whom chose not to have health insurance because they were in "good health," and 50% of the non-elderly population included in these statistics regained their health coverage within 4 months.
Do not misunderstand, this is not an argument against driving down costs - its simply an example of statistics being manipulated to carry out an agenda.
I dont have all the answers, but why should we acquiesce to the notion that a government run system is the only way? The unintended consequences of this are beyond the scope of this post, but suffice it to say, there has to be a better way.

As quality of life and health care is improving thanks to medicine and technology, the population is over 7 billion. Over 2 billion people are using the internet on average right now. That's almost a third of the population. With this increase in people comes an increase in the use of resources.
Taking a look at some other facts:
- Air pollution at dangerous levels throughout Europe
- Worst affected regions cutting life expectancy from 8 months to 2 years
- 130,000 computers discarded every day in the US
- Average office worker throws away 360 pounds of paper annually
Small change
You might already be aware of one or all of these facts. And you may be thinking that there is little you can do to prevent the flood of pollutants and waste. However, if you have made the decision to try and reduce your carbon footprint, you may be a little unsure on how to start.
The answer is quite simple. Use your computer.
That's it. That's one way you can go green easily and immediately.
A lot of the tasks that require you to travel can be done from the comfort of your own home, so it's also important to remember that online security is a crucial factor to keep in mind whilst doing all this.
Chances are that you already do a little online shopping. It's convenient, it's fast and it's very simple. A lot of the main brands will now let you complete your food, drink and clothes shopping online, which means you do not have to travel to the actual store.
Sources state that parking your vehicle for just one day and doing your shopping online can keep over a pound of pollution out of the atmosphere.
Most businesses will allow you to pay via credit/debit card or through Paypal. It acts as a buffer between your bank account and unknown parties, and is one of the most secure forms of online payment, so getting set up on it is highly recommended.
Probably the best way to go green is to reduce the usage of paper. Computers don't need paper to work (that's a typewriter), so sending e-mails whenever possible is by far the most effective method of decreasing waste.
Internet banking offers the opportunity to further act on this via paperless billing. Instead of a mountain of statements piling up only to be thrown away, you can have them stored safely on a hard drive.
The beauty of online communication is that everything can be protected. If you are a business and need to transfer sensitive information, then keeping it secure through security services (for example Handd) is something you can do to maintain some peace of mind.
For the same business user, online communications opens up a very convenient and environment-friendly solution to 'the meeting'.
Video conferencing is a live meeting using video and audio tool, which get people from any part of the country (or indeed the world) together in one room. The amazing thing about this form of conferencing is the flexibility.
- Online whiteboarding
- On-board recording of meetings
- Files can be accessed by all members of conference via desktop sharing
- Text Chat
Of course, the main environmental benefit is that you won't be using transport to get to meetings.
Almost every person who uses a computer will download software. This ranges from files and images to music and film.
The advantages of this are obvious from an eco-standpoint. With music and film streamed directly to your computer, it negates the need for physical component such as discs and bulky packaging.
With any download, security is paramount. A reliable anti-virus program should be used when downloading anything from the internet, or even from portable storage devices.
It can be difficult to try and maintain a green attitude, especially when so many individuals and businesses may not be following suit. However, with more and more people utilising computer technology for work and personal use, these practises will become more and more apparent, allowing a change in the way we manage our resources.

Eight miles of county roadway will soon be under construction. Road Foremen Mark Orman of the Northern District and Randall Kidd of the Southern District said they are presently preparing for the construction, which starts in late August or early September.
Orman said the project would chip seal four miles in each district — Phelps Road, Old Almyra Highway and Alcorn Gill Road in the northern and Gander Street Road and Cypress in the southern.
The work will be paid for through highway state aid funds. Arkansas County Judge Glenn "Sonny" Cox said it is a 90/10 matching grant given under the state's 1-cent tax off gas and diesel. It is expected to cost about $200,000 — the amount the county receives annually from the 1-cent tax.
Cox added that the county's roads are in "dire need" due to natural disasters in the past few years.

John Escreet: The Suite of Consequence (Movement II)
The Suite of Consequence (Movement II)
John Escreet Project
Consequences (Posi-Tone PR8042)
John Escreet (keyboards),
Ambrose Akinmusire (trumpet), David Binney (sax), Matt Brewer (bass), Tyshawn Sorey (drums).
Composed by John Escreet.
Recorded: Brooklyn, NY, June 2008
Rating: 86/100 (learn more)
A foreboding introduction ushers in "The Suite of Consequence (Movement II)." While "Movement I" was somewhat structured, "Movement II" is nothing of the sort. A somber and simultaneous chaotic atmosphere hangs in the air. Saxophonist David Binney and bassist Matt Brewer take turns trying to sound like each other in a slow and sad section. Pianist John Escreet and Binney follow by trying to fill the now present sound vacuum with some spatial texture. The doom and gloom continues as the volume and participation levels increase. Now all obvious structure is lost. A free jazz formlessness appears, then disappears. It turns out that there is form in the unformed. I am usually not a big fan of this free jazz stuff. But Escreet's music has the ability to maintain interest. Perhaps it is because it is a section of a larger piece, and you need to hear this to get you from here to there. At any rate, "Movement II" is quite engaging.
There are three parts to the overall suite. They are listed as separate cuts, but "Movement II" flows seamlessly into "Movement III" without any pause on the CD. It is a continuation of the substance of "Movement II." However, as the piece draws closer to its end, there is an increased amount of dynamic syncopation, stops and starts and unison playing. The suite ends with a dead stop.
This music will not be to everyone's liking. But those of you who enjoy listening to jazz musicians trying to meet the strong challenge of powerfully intricate music that is still somehow free will be very stimulated.

College Hockey:Princeton's Nomeland Stops 60, but Loses
Teams Combine for 101 Shots in Badger Showdown Consolation Game
MILWAUKEE — Nate Nomeland set three Bank One Badger Hockey Showdown records on Saturday.
He made 60 saves, a tournament record. He stopped 27 shots in the second period, a tournament record. His 79 saves for the two-day event was a tournament record.
Yet he still had to carry his own equipment to the bus.
"No respect," Nomeland quipped as he swerved his way through the winding hallways of the Bradley Center.
His Princeton team lost the Showdown's third-place game 5-4 to No. 3 North Dakota, but his feats almost made up for that fact.
He said he never really got tired. His play seemed to back that up, as he made some of his best saves in the third period.
"It was a lot of adrenaline," he said. "I'll be sore tomorrow morning for sure."
If Princeton had won the game, Nomeland's performance would have gone down among the stuff of legends. Still, for a guy from Fargo, N.D., to put on such a show against the high-powered offense from his home state was enough about which to write home.
"It was pretty easy for him to get up for this game," Princeton coach Len Quesnelle said.
With the shot charts looking more like an ink-blot test than an indication of who took a shot and from where (North Dakota attempted 25 shots from the high-quality area in front of the net in the second period alone), the Sioux dominated territorially, if not on the scoreboard.
"You look at where the shots were taken from, and they were all Grade-A opportunities," Quesnelle said. "Wisconsin's shots [Friday] night were spread out throughout the zone, and tonight North Dakota had plenty of chances in tight."
It's not like Nomeland didn't have help, though. The Sioux put shots off the goalpost three times in the first period, and during a stretch early in the second period, three shots got behind the goaltender, only to be cleared from the crease by either Tigers defenders or Nomeland himself.
"Standing behind the bench, you start to get a little bit worried because a break or a lapse defensively and all of a sudden the puck is in your net and the momentum changes drastically," said Dave Hakstol, a North Dakota assistant who's filling in for head coach Dean Blais, who left Milwaukee on Friday morning to be with his daughter at a hospital in Rochester, Minn.
Said Sioux goaltender Andy Kollar: "It's fun to watch but I wish we could have gotten a few more goals, make it a bigger lead."
While everyone was thinking about records and Nomeland's performance, the Tigers made the game close in the last minute.
Trailing 5-3, Princeton top-line center Kirk Lamb beat Kollar (32 saves) with a shot from the middle of the zone to cut the lead to one with 30.8 seconds left.
The goal came on Princeton's 36th shot of the game. North Dakota had reached that point by the 10:43 mark of the second.
"It got to be a little bit frustrating, but the main thing is we gave up a couple of goals we maybe shouldn't have because we started pressing a little bit because it was all offense the whole time," said North Dakota top-line winger Bryan Lundbohm, who had two assists. "You have to give that goalie a lot of credit."
The Sioux were forced to play catch-up after Princeton took the lead just 3:54 into the game. Defenseman Matt Maglione picked up a loose puck in the right side of the zone and while David Del Monte screened a North Dakota defenseman, he charged to the net and wristed the puck under the right arm of Kollar.
The Sioux knotted the score, though, at 7:01 when the Tigers defense couldn't prevent Adrian Hasbargen's charge at a loose rebound. Lundbohm redirected Travis Roche's shot from the right point and Hasbargen beat a defender to the puck and put it past Nomeland.
And they kept the pressure in the second period. And then some.
The Sioux put 30 shots on goal in the second period, to give them a 51-27 advantage after 40 minutes. Their 30th shot of the game came with 15:30 left in the second and they reached the half-century mark with 1:07 remaining.
Shots 35 and 36 were particularly key for North Dakota, as they, sandwiched around a Princeton score, gave the Sioux a pair of one-goal leads.
At 8:17 of the period, the Sioux were finally able to capitalize on a Nomeland rebound as Jeff Panzer tapped the puck just over the goal line on a play that was confirmed by video replay.
After Scott Prime evened the game 48 seconds later for the Tigers on a three-on-one rush, Sioux defenseman Chad Mazurak took a drop pass from Panzer on a three-on-two break and wristed it low past Nomeland.
Tim Skarperud gave the Sioux their first two-goal lead of the game at 13:02 of the second, picking up a loose puck off a left-circle faceoff and working it under Nomeland's outstretched arm on the ice.
Princeton's Shane Campbell managed to cut the lead to one midway through the third, but Kevin Spiewak answered less than two minutes later to restore the two-goal advantage.
Aside from a few blemishes, though, it was Nomeland's night.
"This game certainly wasn't a classic defensively," Hakstol said.
Except, maybe, for Nomeland.

"The Real Housewives of Atlanta" star NeNe Leakes isn't too eager to talk about her age, so when the other ladies are speculating whether she has hit menopause she got upset. On the trip to Mexico, she talked to the other ladies and the men got involved. This turned into a heated conversation, but NeNe wasn't pleased with how the other ladies were talking to people. According to a new Wetpaint Entertainment report published on March 25, "The Real Housewives of Atlanta" star NeNe Leakes is now slamming her co-star by calling Kandi Burruss ignorant.
During the Mexico trip, NeNe revealed that she thought it was ignorant of Kandi to talk about NeNe and her period. She doesn't like it that the other women are talking about her age and whether she could go get pregnant tomorrow. "That wasn't ignorance, that was just a misunderstanding," Kandi revealed in defense of her comments. "I didn't know you still had your period."
"It's ignorant that someone in their 40s is menopausal … I could get pregnant tonight!" NeNe snapped back. "If you don't like the way I said it, that's your problem. But it ain't going to change," NeNe fired back, unwilling to change her mind after Todd tried to get her to change her mind about how she delivered her message. Of course, NeNe has been criticized for having a bad attitude so one can imagine that she is just in a bad mood when she is filming for Bravo.
What do you think of her "ignorant" comment?

Forecast discussion: Providence enjoyed its six straight Saturday in a row with bright sunshine. The day was warm, as T.F. Green Airport received a high of 85 degrees. We will see another day like this on Sunday, but the high pressure system that has controlled our weather will begin to move further into the Atlantic. This will allow for both a surface and upper level low to move towards the east coast.
We will not begin to feel the effects of the low until Sunday afternoon. Our winds will be increasing, and clouds will be increasing in the sky. There is the chance of seeing some showers arrive before sunset. As we head into Monday, the front will still be to our west, but precipitation ahead of it may be heavy at times, especially in isolated thunderstorms. The front will stall over us Monday evening, as a second surface low forms over New York. This low will help trigger some more precipitation on Tuesday.
However, the upper level low is going to be moving over the region at the same time. The upper level low will pull some very cold air for the middle of July down into the Northeast. With the upper level low on top of the surface low, this may create some very strong to possible severe thunderstorms. We could see rainfall amounts up to 3 inches by the end of Tuesday night.
By Wednesday, the computer models are showing the front inching its way off the shore of Cape Cod. It may take until sunset before we see the end of any showers or thunderstorms. High pressure will bring drier, cooler air in for Wednesday, followed by bright sunshine for Thursday and Friday.
Right now, next weekend looks a little unclear. The American model pumps quite a lot of moisture along the east coast, thanks to a weak disturbance which moves along the coastline. We would see some showers and thunderstorms by Saturday afternoon. The European model suggests the precipitation stays well south of us. For now, based on the last several weeks of the weather pattern, I will continue our streak of seven straight Saturdays of delightful weather. But, my confidence for Saturday's forecast is low, due to the uncertainty between the models.
72 hour forecast:
Tonight: Clear skies with a low of 66.
Sunday: Increasing clouds through the day with scattered showers by 8 p.m. We will see a high of 85 with strong south-southwest winds of 16-20 mph.
Sunday night: Overcast with scattered showers and isolated thunderstorms with a low of 70. Winds will come from the south-southwest at 8-11 mph.
Monday: Scattered showers with isolated thunderstorms by the early afternoon. It will be humid with a high of 85.
Monday night: Showers/thunderstorms with a low of 71.
Tuesday: Showers and thunderstorms expected. Thunderstorms could be strong to severe. We will see a high of 81.
Tuesday night: Showers/thunderstorms continue with a low of 68.
Extended Forecast:
Wednesday: Showers/thunderstorms end before sunset. Partly cloudy skies expected during the overnight hours. Highs 78-81, lows 62-65.
Thursday: Mostly sunny. Highs 80-83, lows 60-63.
Friday: There is the slight chance for a passing shower in the early morning. Otherwise, mostly sunny skies are expected. Highs 79-82, lows 62-65.
Saturday: Partly sunny. Highs 80-83, lows 63-66.

Sony Cyber-shot DSC-P32 review
This is a super camera for the money. The controls are easily learned the camera responds quickly. The image quality isn't bad, but compared to other cameras in it's class it is a bit lower. The rechargeable NIMH batters are a definite plus. Some claim that this camera doesn't have a macro mode but it says "Auto Macro" right on the box. I've had no trouble taking pictures approximately 10cm from the lens. Overall, I'm very pleased.
The only thing I wish was better was the save time for the images. At full quality I find it takes about 1 sec between pics. The burst mode offered isn't much of a help either.

A man wearing a women's wig robbed a bank Tuesday on East Mill Plain Boulevard, according to emergency radio traffic.
The robbery occurred at 2:54 p.m. at Sterling Bank, 6501 E. Mill Plain Blvd.
The robber was described as a white man in his upper 30s or lower 40s, 5-foot-10, with a slim build, according to Vancouver police. He was wearing a curly, blond-to-light-brown women's wig, which he discarded after the robbery; a scarf over his face and navy blue workout pants, according to radio traffic. Police said he also was wearing a dark jacket with rubbery material on it and construction style boots.
No weapon was seen during the robbery, according to police, and the robber did not imply that he had one.
The man was last seen walking east on Mill Plain Boulevard, carrying the money in a reusable grocery store bag, according to radio traffic. Police searched the area around the bank with a police dog, but the suspect was not found.
Marshall Elementary School and McLoughlin Middle School were placed on lockdown briefly while police searched the area.

From a vial of Pope John Paul II's blood being stolen to Pope Francis' doves of peace being attacked recently, a string of misfortune has hit the Catholic Church this week. The Washington Post reports this Monday, Jan. 27, 2014, that a rare and highly religious relic of the late Pope John Paul II was thieved from a village place of worship near Rome this Saturday, leading to a massive search for the thief and the raided goods. USA Today, meanwhile, also shares this morning that a pair of doves released during the close of the Vatican's yearly "Caravan of Peace" ceremony were attacked in mid-flight by enemy birds, leading some to wonder if this string of events is a bad omen.
Having the blood of Pope John Paul II stolen sounds eerie in itself, but the sacred vial was only one of several valuable objects taken from a small church in Italy this week. Since the thievery, a tremendous manhunt has ensued for the missing artifacts that includes over 50 law enforcement officials and an expert team of search dogs that specialize in tracking. No details on the case have been made public yet.
It is believed that the break-in of the Church of San Pietro della Lenca occurred this Saturday. A local custodian had entered the place of worship and was said to be horrified to discover that a giant crucifix was stolen, some religious items, and a gold reliquary that held a vial of John Paul's blood. Pope John Paul II will be officially proclaimed a saint of the Catholic Church this April 2014.
The Pope's doves attacked was the other major misfortune to befall the Vatican's reach this week. As Pope Francis was concluding the "Caravan of Peace" ceremony — which includes a tradition of releasing two doves into the air — two children joined him in releasing a pair of the beautiful white birds from an Apostolic Palace's window. However, a black crow and sea gull quickly appeared and attacked the doves. The enemy birds could be seen pecking and clawing at the avian prey, leading some down in St. Peter's Square to cry out in shock this Sunday.
Fortunately, both doves escaped from the dangerous clutches. One dove was able to break free from the attacking sea gull, losing only a couple of white feathers, while the other managed to free from the black crow. The extend of their wounds were not immediately made clear.
Whether it be a bad omen or simply bad luck for the Catholic Church, it was certainly an "unusual string of circumstances" facing Vatican realms recently and in such a short amount of time.

This product is so powerful, I must cut the tablet in half, so as to metabolize it better. A full tablet for my 5'3"size (120 lbs.) is too much -- makes my heart beat faster.
I've scoured online vendors looking for where to find the cheapest low grade ginseng roots, powdered or whole. I can't find another vendor of raw roots that sells 162 grams (5.785 oz) for $22.39. That considered, I was hoping the effects of this indicated that it was decently preserved ginseng. I'm certainly not disappointed with the stimulation I'm currently feeling. I find it no less powerful serving-for-serving than any standardized extract...may even be more potent than others I've tried (N.O.W's older 5% standardized felt like it was adulterated with mandrake root, Natural Factors one didn't seem efficacious at such a low dose of even 7%). It's more of a general adrenal uplift than a classic stimulant, which is fine by me. If you're sensitive to stimulants, one tablet will probably do you good. Me on the other hand....I'll probably end up averaging 4-8 per day :-D.

Last week the Harvest was completed only the innocent witches that were sacrificed to complete the ceremony were not resurrected. This week we learn the witches that were resurrected were powerful elders, some if not all of whom, were destroyed by the Original vampires and their crew. It looks like, after watching the episode that aired January 28, 2014 the rest of the season (or at least a few more episodes) fans will watch as witches from the past attempt to bring down and destroy Klaus and his family. As fans of this series and the original series The Vampire Diaries will attest, there is nothing more intriguing than watching a powerful enemy attempt to "kill" the Originals. If you did not see the episode please be aware that spoilers are included in the following paragraphs.
This week, Rebekah was attacked by an old nemesis witch doctor bent on revenge. His first move is to channel Rebekah's strength. While Elijah and Hailey attempt to free Rebekah the witch doctor attacks Marcel (you know sins of the father and all). Cammie calls Klaus for help. While Klaus is protecting Marcel and failing miserably against the witch doctor's channeled power Hailey offers her blood to free Rebekah from the spell circle. Elijah manages to get Rebekah to safety just in time for Klaus to gain the upper hand, proving once again, it takes a village for success, despite Klaus' ego. Leaving fans wondering when, if ever, Klaus will come to this same revelation. Elijah is convinced he will get there and Rebekah has little faith he can change. Which Original do you think is right?
In the last few minutes of this week's episode we watched as the Witch Doctor channeled all the vampires held in Marcel's jailhouse into a special knife. A knife that the reincarnated Sabine uses to slit the witch doctor's throat as a sacrifice. Trouble is brewing and fans are waiting anxiously at the edge of their seats to find out what happens next.

Metro Boston, North Shore and Metro West: Another round of snow is forecast for Tuesday but this time around it will be milder temperatures that follow behind this storm instead of another bitter cold blast. We may actually have a few days of above normal temperatures through the second half of the week.
But first a word about Tuesday. Low pressure is going to develop south of New England very early Tuesday and quickly jump up the coast during the day to be positioned over southeast Massachusetts Tuesday evening. It will provide a heavy burst of snow through the interior with snow possibly mixing with or briefly changing to rain along the coast in the Boston area south. The onset of snow is mid morning interior to late morning on the coast with the heavier snowfall rates generally in the afternoon. As the low races northeastward toward Nova Scotia the precipitation shuts off quickly early Tuesday night.
Snow accumulations from 4 to 6 inches across the interior, along and west of Route 128/95, with 2 to 4 inches east of the highway toward the coast. The lowest amounts being right along the coastline. It is not out of the question that a few spot 7 inch totals are realized west of the Route 495 belt.
Weather systems are moving at a fast clip this week and that means changeable weather conditions. Even though we dry out early on Wednesday another disturbance may bring a few light showers late day or at night before we briefly dry out again. Then, low pressure will push into southern Canada dragging a warm front through late Thursday or Thursday night followed by a cold front later Friday. A period of showers can be expected Thursday night with steadier and heavier rain likely on Friday.
Meanwhile, after Tuesday temperatures will become milder as the week goes on. Highs may be near 50 degrees Friday after climbing to around 40 Wednesday and the low 40s Thursday.
The seesaw probably continues into the weekend with a dry Saturday and possibly a wet Sunday.
72 Hour Outlook:
Tuesday: Light snow developing mid to late morning, possibly becoming heavy at times across the interior in the afternoon. Slight chance of a mix to or change to rain along the coast. High temperatures low 30s inland to mid 30s coast. East winds increasing to 10 to 20 mph.
Tuesday night: Precipitation ends with partial clearing after midnight and becoming windy. Not so cold, lows in the mid to upper 20s. Northwest winds 15 to 25 mph.
Wednesday: Considerable cloudiness and milder. Chance of a few late day rain showers. Highs around 40. Southwest winds 5 to 15 mph.
Wednesday night: Chance of a few showers early, otherwise partly to mostly cloudy. Lows in the low 30s.
Thursday and Thursday night: Partly cloudy, becoming mainly cloudy overnight with a chance of showers. Highs in the low 40s. Lows in the mid 30s interior to about 40 on the coast.

Apple's iOS in the Car is Arriving, and It's Called CarPlay, reports Time. (See Apple's official CarPlay site here). The technology allows a car's built-in display to become the second screen for an iPhone. Features include using the Siri voice assistant for calls and accessing messages, and an Apple Maps will anticipate your destination based on recent trips, the company says. Ferrari, Mercedes-Benz and Volvo are at the Geneva International Motor Show announcing that they're rolling out the feature in new vehicles this year. BMW, Ford, General Motors, Honda, Hyundai, Jaguar Land Rover, Kia, Mitsubishi, Nissan, Subaru, Suzuki, Toyota and others are also planning to support it in future models. Watch for Apple to push iTunes Radio (not yet available in NZ) as a key part of CarPlay.
Bill Gates is back on top of Forbes' Billionaires List after a four-year hiatus, reclaiming the title of world's richest person from telecom mogul Carlos Slim Helu of Mexico, who ranked No. 1 for the past four years. Gates fortune rose by $US9 billion to $US76 billion in the past year as Microsoft's stock rose sharply (although Windows Phone and Windows 8 are struggling to become fashionable, the company is making bucketloads across the board).
The year's biggest dollar gainer was Facebook's Mark Zuckerberg ($US28b), whose fortune jumped $US15.2 billion as shares of his social network soared Frobes says. Facebook COO, Sheryl Sandberg ($US1b) joins the ranks for the first time, as does Facebook's longtime vice president Jeff Rothschild. Also, thanks to a $19 billion deal (including restricted stock) with Facebook, WhatsApp founders Jan Koum ($US6.8b) and Brian Acton ($US3b) join the ranks of Silicon Valley's wealthiest for the first time (Facebook recently agreed to by the pair's messaging company for $US4 billion cash plus stock worth up to $US16 billion). They are 4 of 26 newcomers whose fortunes come from technology, 10 of whom are American, including Dropbox CEO Drew Houston ($US1.2) and Workday cofounder Aneel Bhusri ($US1.3 billion) - Workday being a provider of cloud HR software to which Xero has been compared.
Not making the list this year is John Stanton, chairman of 2degrees' majority investor Trilogy. The US-based telecommunications investor, whose wealth was at one point put over $US1 billion by Forbes, has had a complicated time of it over recent years with his major US investment Clearwire.
Thanks to the tech boom, and strong stock market, the U.S. once again leads the world with 492 billionaires, followed by China with 152 and Russia with 111, Forbes says.
Samsung Chromebook 2 Line Aims to Leave the Bargain Basement, reports Techland. Up-and-coming Chromebooks run on Google's Chrome interface and the cloud-focused Google Apps. Samsung's latest is expensive, by Chromebook standards (it's priced from $US399). Beyond incremental hardware upgrades, the13.3-inch display Samsung Chromebook 2 is more of a head-turner, Techland says. "Rather than looking like a knockoff of Apple's MacBook Air done in plastic, as the existing Chromebook does, it's got a gray case done up in a stitched, leather-like material, a look also seen in other Samsung devices such as the Galaxy Note 3." Samsung could not immediately provide local details.

College Hockey:Bentley needs health, better goaltending to climb ladder
Injuries and spotty goaltending led to a disappointing 2009-10 season for the Bentley Falcons, who finished in eighth place and were defeated by Connecticut in the first round of the Atlantic Hockey playoffs.
But a new season brings a fresh start for Ryan Soderquist's team.
"We're pretty optimistic heading into the fall," he said. "I like what we have returning. Our incoming freshmen are talented as well. We have a lot of guys willing to step up to the plate."
A healthy Dustin Cloutier and Erik Peterson should help. Both were expected to score over 30 points last season, but Cloutier missed 20 games and Peterson was out for 15.
"Cloutier broke his wrist, and when he finally got him back, he tore his ACL," Soderquist said. "And Peterson had injuries that kept him out for a long time. But they're both healthy."
Soderquist was also disappointed at times with his goaltending tandem of Joe Calvi and Kyle Rank. The Falcons' goals-against average was almost a full point higher (3.75) than it was the year before.
"We looked at our goals against, and it was actually lower for the top four teams in the league than the bottom four," Soderquist said. "We sat down with our goalies and talked about being focused night in and night out."
The Falcons start the season with five road games, all non-conference matchups.
"I like our schedule," Soderquist said. "It gives us five games to put things together and not worry about the standings and just focus on playing really good hockey."

At long last, the time has come to begin moving your tomato and pepper seedlings outside. You have spent weeks nurturing your seedlings, watching tiny seeds sprout and grow into strong and healthy transplants. You don't want to ruin all of your weeks of watering, fertilizing and caring for your little plants by moving them directly to the garden without preparing them properly. These little plants have never been exposed to direct sun or wind, and the natural environment of your garden can damage your transplants if you don't prepare them for what's to come.
By now your transplants should be about six inches tall and have several leaves. They should have strong stems and healthy root systems. They are ready for the real world, but should be eased into it. Transplants should go through a "hardening off" period in which you allow them small amounts of sunshine and wind. This eases the transition from a protected and controlled indoor environment into the sunny and windy (and sometimes cold) Iowa garden.
Begin about a week before you plan to transplant your seedlings (that's about now in Des Moines). On the first day, set your tomato and pepper plants outdoors in a shady location, preferably one that enjoys a little breeze. Leave them out for a couple of hours and then bring them back indoors. Do this each day for about a week, increasing the amount of sun and wind the plants are exposed to. Also, increase the amount of time the plants spend outdoors by a couple of hours each day. Continue watering as normal. Even better, put them out in the rain if possible.
By the end of a one week period your plants should be hardened off, and prepared for garden life. They will still need wind protection in the garden at first, but you have given them the head start that will make a difference in the weeks to come.

Another milestone in the ongoing effort by UK lawmakers to restrict access to The Pirate Bay was reached on Friday, as British internet service providers Be Broadband and parent company O2 joined counterparts Sky Broadband, Virgin Media and Everything Everywhere in blocking access to the controversial file sharing website. Read More
The BitTorrent peer-to-peer (P2P) file sharing protocol was estimated by internet traffic management and analysis company ipoque to account for roughly 27 to 55 percent of all internet traffic as of February 2009 – much of it pirated software, music and video files. While the distributed nature of P2P networks sees millions of users sharing files every day, a new study to examine the behavior of users responsible for publishing files on the Mininova and The Pirate Bay portals reveals that a small group of around 100 users is responsible for the majority of content published over BitTorrent.Read More
Illegal peer-to-peer sharing of movies, music and software is currently estimated to comprise more than half the world's Internet traffic - and copyright holders are up in arms, saying that CD, movie and software sales are taking a devastating hit from the quick, convenient and anonymous piracy options the broadband age has opened up. Now, the UK is considering legislation that would see suspected illegal file sharers cut off altogether by their ISPs - despite the fact that the European Parliament recently rejected a similar plan from France, on the grounds that it contravened the modern citizen's fundamental right to access the Internet.Read More

Release Date: 2011-06-17
Genre: Drama,
Rating: NR

The jailhouse-picture has a very long, honourable history - but few examples of the genre have ever hit as hard as this - gripping from low-key opening to convention-smashing climax. Filmed in a notorious real-life slammer near Copenhagen and featuring fearsome squadrons of ex-con extras, The Village Voice described R as "claustrophobic and rank with testosterone and gym-sweat, a smothering lesson in prison-yard pecking order."

Bill clarifying right to sue over zoning issues passes committee
A bill clarifying property owners' right to take their neighbors to court over violations of zoning code restrictions passed through the Senate Judiciary and Labor Committee Monday morning.
Senate Bill 2270 passed with amendments, according to the state Legislature's bill tracking page. A phone message and email left with Committee Chairman Clayton Hee's office seeking information about the amendments were not returned as off press time Monday.
Sen. Laura Thielen, D-Kailua, introduced the measure, which came after constituents approached her with concerns about an Intermediate Court of Appeals ruling last year regarding an Oahu case. In that ruling, Thielen said, the court said property owners needed to go through their respective county's Planning Department to complain about property owners using their property in ways not permitted by the zoning code.
That might be something like using agriculture-zoned land for a wedding chapel, an unpermitted trucking business or a vacation rental, Thielen said.
The bill allows the property owners to go directly to Circuit Court, rather than asking the county to investigate, Thielen said. She said the county planning departments are generally good at enforcing some code restrictions — building heights or other structural item — but haven't put as much emphasis on investigating reports of unpermitted uses.
Officials from all four Hawaii counties wrote in to oppose the bill.
Counties have the "exclusive jurisdiction" to govern zoning, Hawaii County Planning Director Duane Kanuha said in his written testimony, dated Friday.
"Interpreting what is permissible or non-permissible within County zoning categories is already a complex process, and one that can easily be subject to misinterpretation or just plain error," Kanuha said. "To convey the ability for landowners to file land use suits directly to the courts to enforce zoning violations without pursuing a system of due process beforehand would only significantly frustrate the legal system and the land use process."
Maui Mayor Alan Arakawa said in his testimony he thought the bill could result in "frivolous and expensive" lawsuits and open "an avenue to bypass the counties own administrative process."
Thielen said she wasn't trying to take any power away from the counties.
"To me, it actually is a benefit to them," she said. "It won't take away their ability to enforce."
It's easier, she added, for a neighboring property owner to gather evidence of the unpermitted use than for the county to send an investigator by and hope to get the same evidence.

2 hours is equal to $2\times 3600\times 1000000$ microseconds which is $7200000000$ microseconds.
So you want to find $n$ such that $n^2 = 7200000000$.

I just installed Maverick and was surprised that almost all packages are marked as manually installed (linux-headers and wireless-crda aren't). Doesn't that defeat the purpose of the differentiation between automatically and manually installed packages?
Seems my Google powers were weakened: this is a known bug (concentrate on comments from Colin Watson) and it's hanging around for some time with no fix in sight:
Quoting Colin Watson:
Okay, now this is the first thing I do right after installation. I mark (almost) every package as automatically installed, and they stay as dependencies of

Corinthian Casuals boss Kim Harris was not surprised to hear former player Byron Brown was sent-off for Walton Casuals on Saturday – because it was the reason he released him earlier this month.
Brown, sent off for Harris's Casuals against Crawley Down last month, saw red for the Stags in their 4-1 defeat to Walton & Hersham on Monday, having made his debut in a 1-0 win over Hythe Town on Saturday.
But he should be available to face his former club at Waterside Drive on Saturday, with any subsequent ban expected to kick in a week later.
"In four years I think he has been sent off four or five times for us and it was the reason I let him go in the end," said Harris.
"He is a lovely, lovely lad and a good player, but when he gets on to the pitch he turns into someone else."
Harris's Casuals lost 1-0 at home to Maidstone United on Monday, having crashed 4-0 at Godalming Town on Saturday.
And the King George's Field chief has warned his men they must buck their ideas up for Tuesday's Surrey Senior Cup semi-final visit of Sutton United.
"We're safe and have nothing to play for. That is how we played. I don't know what will happen if we play that way against Sutton," he added.
Brown was one of five new signings to make their debuts for Walton over the weekend, with Banstead trio Jordan Cheadle, Adam Cheadle and Michael Corbett, plus former Walton & Hersham man Sol Patterson-Bohner, also making their bows.
