Fewer Uninsured Means Better Care for Everyone
It was widely reported that during a presidential primary debate a few weeks ago, the audience cheered at the idea that a young, uninsured patient should die if he didn't have the means to pay for needed healthcare. In truth, it seems the noise was limited to a few yahoo hecklers, but I think it's pretty shocking that anyone would react that way.
In 2010, 49.9 million Americans, or 16.3% of the total population, were uninsured. Some, like the so-called young invincibles — those healthy twenty-somethings — may eschew health insurance as unnecessary. Others simply can't afford or don't have the option to buy health insurance.
The uninsured have become a catch-all for almost everything wrong in healthcare today. The uninsured are said to lack any "skin in the game" — meaning they don't pay premiums or copays — so they use healthcare services without consideration for cost. Bad hospital bottom line? Blame the uninsured for using services they can't afford. Crowded ER? That's the uninsured using the ER as their doctor's office — and for free, too. Health insurance premiums increase? Providers are demanding higher reimbursements for services for the insured to cover medical care for the uninsured.
And how about this one: Dissatisfied with your private health insurance? Blame the uninsured. Yep, according to a recent study, there are what researchers call "spillover effects" of community uninsurance on the healthcare received by the insured.
Two RAND researchers analyzing data from 86,900 privately insured adults and Medicare enrollees living in 200 large metropolitan areas found that the more uninsured people in an area, the more likely everyone will have trouble receiving needed care.
Comments are moderated. Please be patient.

How about the issue of the underpayment of Medicare and Medicaid and relationship with privately insured? Fewer Medicare and Medicaid beneficiaries would mean less cost shifting and more affordable access to all. Oh wait, I guess thats not possibly since the legislation passed last year EXPANDED Medicaid and we have a lot of Baby Boomers.
M Christian (9/28/2011 at 7:15 PM)
This author ignores the fact that the areas with highest uninsured also have socio-economic issues,i.e., lower income. Lower income areas have trouble accessing care because providers don't want to work for free. An example: find a thoracic surgeon who is a Medi Cal provider. Additionally, the author quietly implies that insuring everyone (one payer system/socialized medicine) will take away all of the problems. It's flawed thinking and ignores the ultimate responsibility being that of the patient. Accountability is sorely lacking as a talking point in the cacophony of "health care reform."

It was interesting to see that the "wrong" architecture was better using the PathScale compiler. Further, PathScale was significant better than PGI 7.0-7, even though PGI had support for the "right" architecture. The switches used for the PathScale compiler can be found at the SPEC web, http://www.spec.org/mpi2007/results/res2007q4/ The final rate (5.61) was better, due improved memory bandwidth (due to a better BIOS).

MOOSE GRAVEYARD: Rapid climate changes may doom the moose, according to some biologists.
Image: flickr/Steve Wall
ALONG THE GUNFLINT TRAIL, Minn. -- If moose disappear from the boreal forest of northern Minnesota, as some biologists predict, they will not exit with a thunderous crash. Climate extinctions come quietly, even when they involve 1,000-pound herbivores.
Experts who have studied the Northwestern moose -- Alces alces andersoni -- believe they are witnessing one of the most precipitous nonhunting declines of a major species in the modern era, yet few outside Minnesota fully appreciate the loss.
The moose is an iconic species whose existence is woven into the social, economic and cultural fabric of this region. Its elongated head and wide antlers are emblazoned on everything from T-shirts to tire flaps. The 1960s cartoon character Bullwinkle J. Moose and his flying squirrel friend Rocky were residents of the fictionalized town of Frostbite Falls, Minn.
But the animals that inspired Bullwinkle are not what they were. Here, even healthy bulls -- whose size, strength and rutting prowess make them the undisputed kings of the North Woods -- are dying from what appear to be a combination of exhaustion, exposure, wasting disease triggered by parasites and other maladies.
The biologists are baffled and also helpless.
Mark Lenarz, who retired in March from the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources (DNR), where he led moose research efforts, said it's not like the TV show "CSI: Crime Scene Investigation."
"Unlike 'CSI,' it's very hard to identify in the field exactly what an animal is dying from," he said. "We know something about the symptoms" of distressed moose, he added, "but we don't necessarily know the exact causes of mortality."
What Lenarz and other experts do know is that a variety of climate stressors -- including higher average annual temperatures, a long string of very mild winters, and increasingly favorable conditions for ticks, parasites and other invasive species -- are conspiring to make northern Minnesota a moose graveyard.
Since 2002, Minnesota DNR specialists have put radio collars on 150 healthy adult moose; 119 subsequently died, most of them from unknown causes, according to wildlife officials. Car and train collisions accounted for 12 mortalities, while wolves were culpable in just 11 deaths.
Sudden collapse of herds
Meanwhile, annual surveys taken from helicopter overflights show that the state's primary moose population, in the state's northeastern Arrowhead region, has been halved in just six years, dropping from 8,840 animals in 2006 to just 4,230 this year. The decline mirrors a similar collapse a decade ago in the state's northwest corner, where moose plummeted from an estimated 4,000 animals in the mid-1980s to less than 100 by the mid-2000s.
While some monitoring of moose had occurred in the 1990s, most of the animals were gone before scientists could examine cause-and-effect relationships. In the Arrowhead, however, experts are watching mass mortality, discovering multiple moose carcasses in the same area, including animals that appeared relatively healthy only a few years before.
It's not just the occasional sickly moose succumbing to common causes of mortality, said Lenarz. "We're out in the
field collecting dead radio-collared moose, and we were finding other moose that had died along with them."
Similar mysterious deaths of one or more moose have been documented in Voyageurs National Park, where the National Park Service had launched its own radio-collar study of the animals, and in the Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness, where moose sightings used to be routine for visitors but are increasingly rare.
Bob Baker, regarded as one of the best wildlife trackers on the Gunflint Trail, believes the region's gray wolves are preying on moose, especially young calves, whose survival is essential for the herd to maintain itself. The wolves were only recently removed from the endangered species list. "You can radio-collar as many adult moose as you want. But if wolves are eating the calves, you're still going to lose your herd," he said.

Unnecessary?: A MRI scan does not affect treatment or improve outcomes any faster for patients—but it can lead to radiation exposure and unnecessary surgery.

The Best Science Writing Online 2012

The routine use of 130 different medical screenings, tests and treatments are often unnecessary and should be scaled back, according to 25 medical specialty organizations. The medical societies jointly released lists of tests and therapies patients should question in their campaign, Choosing Wisely. The initiative of the American Board of Internal Medicine Foundation is aimed at reducing unnecessary interventions that waste money and can actually do more harm than good.
A 2012 report by the Institute of Medicine estimated that $750 billion—about 30 percent of all health spending in 2009—was wasted on unnecessary services and other issues, such as excessive administrative costs and fraud. Many of those unnecessary services appear on the new lists released in February from Choosing Wisely. An additional 90 medical services were added to the 40 items initially listed by the campaign in April 2012.
Some of the items on the lists are familiar. Patients should avoid scheduling nonmedically indicated labor inductions or cesarean sections before 39 weeks, for example. Others are designed to reduce the use of expensive and often unnecessary imaging tests, such as early use of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) or computed tomography scan (CT) scans for complaints that will likely go away on their own. For example, the American Academy of Family Physicians (AAFP) recommends that unless red flags are present, doctors should wait six weeks to order imaging for low back pain. The scans do not affect treatment or improve outcomes any faster for patients—but it can lead to radiation exposure and unnecessary surgery.
Other list items may surprise patients. The American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists recommends that women 30 to 65 years old who are not at high risk for cervical cancer skip the annual pap smears; the research shows that conducting screenings every three years works just as well.
The idea that excess tests are unhelpful is not new. Charles Tullius, an anesthesiologist at South Pittsburgh Anesthesia Associates, says members of his profession stopped doing many routine preoperative tests decade ago because they led to too many false positives that did nothing but delay surgery. "A lot of these screening tests are fishing expeditions," he says. "They're very low-yield." It's worse than that: it is becoming clear that many once-routine tests may actually cause harm. But the idea of a test causing harm can be difficult for people to wrap their heads around.
More care isn't better care
"We are, I hope, at a turning point in American health care where we're realizing you want to have the right health care, not just more health care," says Virginia Moyer, a professor of pediatrics at Baylor College of Medicine and chair of the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force. Moyer points out that mammography use is responsible for about 20 percent of the cases of overdiagnosis of breast cancer. In fact, the Task Force came under fire a few years ago for recommending fewer women receive routine mammograms—even though the recommendation was based on evidence about providing the best care to women. "As our diagnostic tests get better and better, we can find all kinds of things that are of no consequence," Moyer says. "If you find something that wasn't going to hurt you during your lifetime and you treat it, it can only hurt you."

Wale is set to have a serious guest on his next album - Jerry Seinfeld!
The comedian says he agreed to the collaboration about learning about Wale's 2008 Seinfeld-inspired mixtape, More About Nothing, through his wife, who's a fan of the rapper.
Seinfeld says that when Wale realized he had an in with the funny man, he made a pitch for the collaboration. In a new video filmed in Wale's studio, he says, "Wale called me, he came to my show, we hung out a little bit. He wanted me to do something with him. I didn't understand it. But he did. I listened to his music, I liked it."
Seinfeld also jokes that he was worried his wife was into Wale a little too much. "We're living together, she's into him, he's into me, and I didn't know about the whole thing."

NTT DoCoMo loses 40K subscribers to iPhone 5
NTT DoCoMo lost 40,800 subscribers in November, acknowledging that it's due to customer flight to the iPhone 5, according to Japan's Nikkei business daily.
For Japan's largest mobile-phone carrier, it was the first monthly drop in over five years.
NTT DoCoMo made no bones about blaming its shrinking subscriber base on customers opting for the iPhone 5 at rival carriers.
The company does not offer the iPhone, while rivals Softbank and KDDI do. Both of those carriers posted subscriber gains in November, with KDDI showing net gains of 228,800 customers and Softbank adding 301,900, … Read more

Debian Update Introduces Security, Bans Adobe Flash
The update Debian 4.0 alias Etch to 4.03r sees the free project mainly add security patches and remove the Adobe Flash plugin from the official repository.
If you use Debian 4.0, you can launch Aptitude to download the required packages from ftp.debian.org or a mirror server. Users who load Debian updates on a regular basis will not need to modify too many packages according to the developers. Images containing the new status will be available shortly. A Debian Installer update forces users who work with netboot or floppy images to download newer versions.
Some 50 security fixes make the update interesting for anyone wanting to avoid implementing individual fixes. A list of the patches packages and the related advisories is available in the Release Notes. The vulnerabilities fixed by the update range from DoS attacks to code execution and privilege escalation to SQL injection.
One major change cited by the Debian project is the removal of "Flashplugin-nonfree", which will be moved to the Backports repository. Security concerns led to this move. There is no security support for the closed source program.
Users are advise to remove the Adobe program and any residues it leaves behind for esc reasons. The Changelog lists the modified packages.

Star Roofing and Construction - Auburn Roofing Contractor
You have invested a great deal of time and effort, not to mention finances in making your Auburn home your safe haven and place of security. Now the time has come to replace the roofing system and you are overwhelmed with all of the choices in different roofing systems and Auburn roofing contractors.
Once you've made the decision to schedule an appointment with a Auburn roofing specialist at Star Roofing and Construction, you can rest assured that all the information you need to make the right decision about your roof will be provided in a warm, informative and comforting manner.
Auburn Roof Replacement
A leaky roof can damage ceilings, walls, and furnishings. To protect Auburn homes and their contents from water damage, Star Roofing and Construction can repair and install a new roof for your home.
1. You've got a leak.
Leaks can do more damage than just to the ceiling of your Auburn home. Often a leak has done damage to the framework of your home before it actually enters the home.
2. Save money.
More often than not it is much cheaper to have the roof done than to wait until you have a problem. Once damage has occurred to the interior ceiling of your Auburn home it is almost impossible to repair it back to the original appearance.
Auburn Metal Roof Installation
If you have had any experience with hiring a contractor before, the same guidelines should be followed for a metal roof installation by a Seattle roofer. From asking friends and family for references of contractor's they'd recommend to checking their references and background against the Better Business Bureau, these are major steps that should be performed with any job.
But due to the nature and uniqueness of metal roof installation, there are a few key differences that must be taken into account as well. Since it's very much a specialty trade, different skill sets are needed than most typical roofing jobs.

Brandy Cameron has an 8-year-old daughter, a 7-week-old baby, and her eye on Nov. 2, the day her lights might come back on.
"They said Friday at the latest, so..."
There wasn't an end to that sentence, just a despairing sigh.
It was Wednesday afternoon, two days since Hurricane Sandy knocked her power out, and she and her daughters were at the Salvation Army in Easton to get warm. It had gotten to the point, Cameron said, that the inside of their home in Wilson was just as cold as the outside.
"It's been terrible," she said, guarding a stroller with baby Deena swaddled inside. "My sister's been trying to get us to come to Mississippi, but I have no way of getting down there."
Cameron was among the thousands of Met-Ed customers in the Easton area without electricity two days after the storm.
As of early this morning, the utilty was reporting 5,858 customers without power in Easton -- down from more than 7,400 Wednesday morning -- and another 1,516 in Wilson.
Among the Easton residents without power are the senior citizens in places like Harlan House and Walter House, Easton Housing Authority Director Gene Pambiachi told the Express-Times.
He said it was unclear when Met-Ed would restore power to those buildings.
"Ninety-five percent of Met-Ed's customers are expected to be restored by this weekend, with the remainder restored early next week," the company said Wednesday in a statement on its website.
That can't come soon enough for people like Melissa Brahm, another Wilson resident, whose power actually went out Sunday, before the height of the storm. On Wednesday, she took her children to the Salvation Army for a hot meal.
At home at night, they'll be bundled up, she said.
"We've got out the sleeping bags. Lots of blankets, flannels," said Brahm, who added she's never gone this long without electricity.
The Salvation Army was one of four daytime shelters in the city offering residents a place to keep warm.
The storm made other impacts on the city. Lafayette College canceled classes for the rest of the week, and encouraged its students to go home.
And the city's downtown saw heavier traffic than normal, thanks to closed roads and an influx of drivers seeking gas at the Third Street Exxon. Other nearby gas stations, such as the Turkey Hill near the I-78 exit, also saw long lines of cars.
At the Terra Cafe, South Side resident George Wharton said he was lucky enough not to lose power, and fortunate that the property damage he did experience -- a tree falling in his yard -- wasn't more serious.
He was trying to keep things in perspective.
"I saw a lot of people who were way worse off," he said, looking over newspaper photos of storm damage. "People lost their cars, their homes, their clothes. To be inconvenienced is not that bad."
Jasmine Mitchell, a Forks Township resident sitting nearby, had seen some of that damage in her neighborhood, describing what the hurricane had done to her neighbor's swingset.
"It looked like someone just picked it up, garbled it up, and tossed it back into the woods," she said.
Now, she and her daughter were headed to check on family in New Jersey, the scene of even worse damage. Phones were out there, so they were just going to drive, seeing if everyone was OK.

A Walker Valley Road resident reported the theft of several turkeys.
According to Julie Rader, she noticed the birds missing Thursday.
The Blue Slate turkeys were kept in a barn on her property, according to a report filed by deputy Doug Boucher of the Bradley County Sheriff's Office.
The barn was reportedly locked, but there were no signs of forced entry. Rader also reported a number of other items have turned up missing from her property during the past several months.
According to the report, the turkeys were valued at $50.
The property has been placed on extra patrol.
• Jewelry and other items were reportedly stolen during a burglary at a Blue Springs Road home.
Deputy Melanie Johnson filed a report for Judy Rogers who said someone had entered her home during the past few weeks and took a Jennings .22 caliber firearm, a lockbox containing personal information, a 2-carat diamond ring, necklaces and bracelets and other miscellaneous jewelry and medication.
Officials believed someone gained entry to the residence through a front window of the home.
Serial numbers were not immediately available for the report.
According to the report, the items were valued at $5,901.
Investigation is continuing.
• Tennessee Highway Patrol will be conducting Driver's License Roadside Safety Checkpoints in Bradley County beginning next weekend.
The checkpoints will be set up in random locations in the county.
According to THP officials, checkpoints are an effective means of recognizing the dangers presented to the driving public by motorists who would violate the driver's license laws of the state.
All scheduled checkpoints are contingent upon weather conditions and manpower availability.

Walking down the hall a dark figure stopped before a door as he looked at it. Behind it Alucard lay there asleep probably having no worries of anything with his life. The dark figure however was his father Hades who like all parents of Olympus loved their child very much but he wasn't one to show it as it was a sign of weakness. As he pushed the door open to the room Hades walked in careful not to wake his son as he made a black rose apear and placed it on the night stand, with a dance to happen tonight the dark god thought the rose would make a good accent for his son to wear.
With a serious look to him though he called his son awake in the same tone his look gave off. " Alucard get up, we have things to do if you plan on going anywhere tonight." He stated while kicking the frame of his son's bedframe.
With the sound of chiming coming from the distance Elena awoke in her chambers as she did every day. Smiling as the sun reached across her room she sat up with a small stretch. After waiting a few moments she stood from her bed and went to her vanity to make sure she was not having another bad hair day like the one she had just gotten rid of. Seeing her hair fall down her back in strawberry blonde waves she couldn't help but smile more knowing today would be a good one. It was rare to see the other children of the gods but today was one of those special occasions.

If Perry runs again, his first big test with Republican voters would be in Iowa, where the caucuses traditionally kick off the presidential nominating calendar for voters.
Matt Strawn knows something about Iowa politics. He served as the state's Republican party chairman in the last presidential cycle.
"With a wide open GOP nomination contest and an unsettled a GOP electorate, it would be foolish to write off a candidate with Governor Perry's record of economic success," Strawn told CNN.
"Americans love a comeback story. And a successful Perry presidential campaign would certainly be that," added Strawn.

Last night, I found an interesting website about more obscure American films and TV shows. It is:
This guy finds more obscure movies on the Internet, DVD services, box sets and the like and helps give them a bit of a secon life on the internet – basically the same thing I kind of want to do here. He's reviewd a few hundred films already and done a really nice job. Kudos to Ben! By the way, I have seen The Manhattan Project, The Phantom Tollbooth and Executive Action – three films on his extensive list.

[See 10 Books Investors Should Read.]
Additionally, some people make numerous trades simply because they like the thrill of buying and selling investments. Others convince themselves they can look at their past investments and are therefore able to predict the course of the stock market. "Investors should know that hindsight errors lead them to the false belief that they can see clearly the direction of markets and the fate of investment in foresight, when in truth, they see them clearly only in hindsight," says Santa Clara University's Statman. "They should frame trading as [playing] tennis against a possibly better player than tennis against a practice wall."
Similar to life, the outcomes of investments cannot be controlled, but investors can give themselves an edge if they can find a way to utilize their emotions.

Homes sought for museum artifacts
The owners of the Vermont Marble Museum indicated Monday that they will move forward with plans to close the museum now that an effort to find a buyer has failed.
The Preservation Trust of Vermont came up short in its effort to raise $880,000 to buy the Proctor museum, which chronicled the history of the Vermont Marble Co.
Faced with an end-of-the-year deadline, the nonprofit historical group was able to raise only $200,000.
The Preservation Trust came forward this summer with the fundraising offer after the owners of the museum, Marsha and Martin Hemm, announced they would close the museum at the end of the year.
The Hemms said in an email Monday that they and their employees are very saddened that we are not able to continue on the road that we had planned with the Preservation Trust. But we are extremely appreciative for the immense amount of work that they did on behalf of the museum and the collection.
The Hemms said they would continue their efforts to find the proper homes for the museum records and artifacts.

Pics: Peter Barlow starts drinking again
And I have to say, bottle or no, Peter/Chris does look particularly gorgeous.
Have a look at the pictures here.
9 comments:
Oh no.. he'll break Leanne and Simon's hearts. Hope it's a short tumble, and he picks himself up again sharpish..
Rebecca in TO - 18 October 2011 19:52
Of course..leading to Leanne booting him out - again - straight into Carla's arms who will be drinking up a storm right along with him. OBOY!!! Leanne is going to get her's right soon...yay.
- 19 October 2011 01:04
Hmm, just where we don;t want him going - but kudos for Corrie in keeping Peter's addiction real - not like Leanne's brief flirtation with drug addiction years ago, which was over in about six weeks. Alcoholism is, regretably, for life. I just wish it wasn't going to be used for such stale plot recyling as the Carla-Leanne-Peter triangle. Getting mighty sick of the once-great character of Peter Barlow (ok, I'll admit it, the character I actually cried for when I thought he was dead after the Live Ep) behaving like a colossal tool. I wish I could get the bloody script department in the back-room of a pub for just one flamin' hour!!!

Repeat Storyline, Awesome! just what we all wanted
- 19 October 2011 03:27
Agree with Cobblestone, Peter is acting like a total dickhead and seems to have a self destruct button. He has always been one of Frost's favourites but where we loved him for his flaws he is now becoming irksome and dislikeable. And for goodness sake Wardrobe get him a new jacket, that flaming black leather one has seen better days!
- 19 October 2011 07:33
I'm sure he dyes his hair, but yes, gorgeous.
- 19 October 2011 11:24
Oh dear. I really like Peter as a character but can't say I'm looking forward to this! I wish they would let Leanne and him just get on with things. It's all very repetitive at the moment. Too much Peter + Carla!
- 19 October 2011 11:46
Peter falls of the wagon and straight into Carla's arms where they proceed to destroy each other. Then there's the tiny inconvenience of Simon whom Peter was given a lot of money to care for. Leanne will seek a residency order or adopt Simon (whatever the legal proceudre is) and try to keep the bookies running. She'll have to seek some of Peter's cash as maintenance, I suppose. I think this could be an interesting story and I love Peter. He's weak and immature so when Carla finally boots him out, he'll be running back to Leanne. She'd never take him back, would she?

Things I liked:Competition shooting accuracy that is also hard hitting on small game or pests. The extra weight is nice for more powerful airguns. Things I would have changed:screw-on lid with container What others should know:This very accurate, hard hitting wad cutter is "lights out" on pests and small game with my RWS 34P at distances less than 30 yards. Things I liked:RWS quality, the heavier weight is good for more powerful air guns, wadcutter design, accuracy is very good. Things I would have changed:Nothing What others should know:These work very well in my Gamo Socom Extreme and the wadcutter design is always accurate for me. I am trying heavier grain pellets but they usually have a dome or point tip. Things I liked:Very accurate and consistent medium weight pellet Things I would have changed:Lower price would be nice What others should know:Tried a variety of lower priced pellets that have not been very consistent when target shooting. These are by far some of the best I have shot. Show Other ReviewsCreate an online review and share your thoughts with other customers

Pop vs. soda.
I grew up with "pop" being the word for a fizzy beverage. Maybe "soda pop", but it sure as heck wasn't "soda". Then I went to college in the middle of "soda" country and was derided for my hillbilly term. It became part of my style, and to this day, people are surprised when I bring over a two-liter and declare that the pop has arrived.
The distinction between the two terms (as well as "coke" as a generic term for pop) is largely geographic. A large-scale internet survey constructed a map of the preferred term across the U.S., with pop dominating the Midwest and Northwest, soda dominating the Northeast, Milwaukee, St Louis, and the Southwest, and coke gobbling up the South. SeeTweet develops a simplified version of this map with little effort.

New home for Whitey Bulger in Brooklyn
Whitey Bulger is no longer staying in Plymouth County.
Mobster Whitey Bulger is on the move to new facility
Whitey Bulger appears to be on the move as the Federal Bureau of Prisons website lists him as "in transit."
(Updated) Judge sentences Whitey Bulger to life in prison
A federal judge sentenced mob boss James "Whitey" Bulger to life in prison on Thursday. The 84-year-old will die in a jail cell.
(Updated) Bulger refuses to speak at sentencing as angry families testify
It was a day of tears and hate inside the federal courthouse in South Boston where victims of mob boss James "Whitey" Bulger angrily confronted him.
Prosecutors call Whitey Bulger 'despicable,' ask for life in jail
Convicted mob boss and murderer James "Whitey" Bulger "richly deserves" to spend the rest of his life in jail, prosecutors wrote in a scathing memorandum.
Prosecutors: Families of all Bulger victims should speak at sentencing
Survivors of all 19 people murdered by James "Whitey" Bulger's gang should be allowed to speak at his sentencing, prosecutors argued on Friday, even if a jury did not find the 84-year-old convicted mobster personally responsible for their deaths.
Prosecutors want all victims' families to have say at Bulger sentencing
Despite a jury finding that prosecutors did not prove all of Bulger's accused murders, prosecutors want all family members to have a say.
Jury reaches verdict in Whitey Bulger trial
The jury began deliberating Tuesday and reached a verdict today on the charges against Whitey Bulger.
Bulger will not part with Stanley Cup ring
Whitey Bugler agreed to surrender more than $800,000 if found guilty, but he will get to keep his Stanley Cup ring.
Jury questions requirement to convict Bulger
The Bulger jury sent the judge a question within its first hour of deliberations since the weekend.

I bought 2 of these new a few months ago when they offered them. They are awesome little vaccums. I have 10 dogs inside my house and I run mine daily. (I foster for Animal Rescue Foundation Tulsa) I had a wheel module go out on one and iRobot's customer service was absolutely great, they sent me one right out and I had it in a matter of a few days. It was an easy fix and Roomba I was back in service! Someone else I recommended them to bought a refurbished one on the last go 'round a month or so ago and she loves it! I bought three tonight and may buy more......guess what everyone get's for Christmas this year!
braymeck wrote:I had the same problem with mine, I took some compressed air and blew all the dust out of it and she cleans like new.
I keep my cleaned up, it beats having to do the vaccuming myself....not a bad trade-off! I clean his brushes and wheels and wash out his tummy (bin) take the bottom off and blow him out with the airhose about once a week. I run my Roomba daily though, sometimes twice!

You've sort of got the wrong idea. It doesn't suck at all, it sweeps. It sweeps a lot, it sweeps over and over. I got my carpets very clean on a daily basis and my tile floors are spotless. But when I used it on my carpets maybe once a month or so I would use the big sucky vacuum to get dirt deep inside. Once a month or so. Not daily, like the roomba runs, once a month or so.

You do have to be vigilant about cleaning out the bin and the brushes and if you have GIGANTIC amounts of hair as I do with a corgi and a long haired cat, it may miss a little but overall it does a really good job.
I have 10 dogs in my house, no, that is NOT a typo! I foster for Animal Rescue Foundation in Tulsa. I bought 2 of these a few months ago, the new ones. Had to have a back-up I run mine daily and sometimes twice. I highly recommend these little bots! I have been waiting for them to list them again. I bought 3 and may buy more in the morning!
I have 2 of the 550 models which have the Lighthouses (instead of the virtual wall only units) and the scheduler. I definitely recommend the 500 series Roombas for anyone who has short pile carpet or hard surface floors. It does do a good job on large-pile carpet but won't pick up everything. As far as little objects on the floor getting stuck... I had a chunk of a dog bone about a quarter inch big and it got stuck in the brushes and stopped the unit. So if the object is something that can get tangled in the brushes (like a long, skinny piece of plastic wrap or a farely large chunk of debris) it will probably stop the unit. The 500 series model is definitely the way to go since you can replace a lot of the parts on it such as the wheel modules, side brush module, etc. If you have pets that shed a lot and you don't plan on emptying the bin a lot there is a high capacity sweeper bin available for $20. It holds three times the amount of dirt as the regular bin. IIRC this is the same bin that comes with the Roomba Pet series robots (such as the 532). However, I wonder if you'll be able to fill the bin before the robot needs its brushes cleaned...and if you've already picked it up to clean the brushes you might as well just empty the dust bin. Also, this high capacity bin doesn't trap as small of dust particles as the bin that comes with the robot. http://store.irobot.com/product/index.jsp?productId=3257388&cp=2804606.3358508&ab=CMS_SelectRoomba_500_102308&parentPage=family
jtcarrot wrote:How does this work if it runs into a small obstacle (like a toy) if I happen to miss one picking up? Will it go around it or with the toy jam the machine?
Roomba will go around anything big enough and heavy enough for the bumper to sense. And even though the vacuum suction is modest, tiny items could get picked up by the brushes. Mine has never jammed. The robot is surprisingly smart and thorough. The first couple of uses, it's even entertaining to watch it work. Even though most of us here love the robots, Roombas historically have suffered from durability issues. If you buy from Woot, the Square Trade warranty is recommended.
For those of you with numerous roombas I recommend this little delight http://teextile.com/1034
bpichman wrote:does anyone know how well does it work with dog hair. My little beagle shelty sheds hardcore. If it works well with dog hair/dander, i'm in. Anyone have an animal with one of these?
Yes, it does. I got the 535 in a wootoff a while ago, and it works pretty well. Of course you need to clean it pretty much after every usage. And let me also say that I have hardwood floors and not carpeting, so I don't know how well it can handle the combo of carpeting + animals. My dog gets hair everywhere, and the little roomba does a pretty good job. I was astonished by how well it took the hair out of the little rug we have by our front door. It was completely covered in fur, and the roomba got practically all of it out. I mean, there was some left, and afterward the thing was 100% full of hair, but after cleaning it out it was good to continue. I think that if you use it regularly it shouldn't really be too much of a problem. I've only had the roomba get completely full like that after not vacuuming for a while.
oh.. wish it was a new one
more roombas, GD when will it end
I bought this when it was on in July. LOVE IT!!! We have 3 dogs and a cat and it picks up all the furballs that float around on our wood floors. My floors have never looked so good. I have 2000 sq ft and I split my house in 2 sections and alternate days. You do have to clean the bin and brushes after every use, including the bearings. Not a big deal, takes about 5 minutes to do thoroughly. Worth it. It runs for about 90 minutes and gets pretty much everywhere.
I've been waiting for a Roomba on Woot for months now. There wasn't even one during the Woot Off a few weeks ago! I got one awhile ago and like it so much I want another one (upstairs and downstairs). But this model is a step lower than the one I got awhile ago (535) and doesn't have the lighthouse technology. I guess I have longer to wait.
I have a MinPin, 2 Pomeranians and a long hair cat. Works Great!!
So far so good. I previously got one of these about 3 months ago. Easy to clean out and empty. The two problems I'm having though. The first: the roomba doesn't like to dock itself all the time. It starts running low on battery and wants to, but sometimes doesn't find its way back. I will come back from work and see the roomba in the middle of the floor and shake my head. Poor roomba, just couldn't get everywhere it wanted to in life. The second: It picks up a lot of stuff. Even parts of my carpeting. Mind you I live in a crappy apartment so maybe your carpeting in your house will be much more resilient to the roomba's pickup. An added note here, the space for dirt to collect is a tad small. I try to be around to stop the roomba in the middle of cleaning to empty it out. I only do it one time though, and it could just be that I'm paranoid that it will run out of space to put dirt. Overall, worth the investment with holding a job and being a full-time student. Hey, I'm lucky to be even cooking my own meals. All in all worth the investment for me. Edit: It does make a bit of noise going over tile. There isn't enough tile in my place to really say how good it is on tile. But from what I've seen , it does a pretty good job.
prateeko wrote:What's the deepest carpet these can effectively work in? I just moved and the carpet in my new pad is oh-so-plush...
I have about a 1 inch "shag" in my living room. It works pretty well on it but sometimes has trouble going from the wood to the carpet because it is so plush
zwizer25 wrote:I have a Roomba 560 and it worked well for 6 or 7 months but now it keeps saying it needs to be cleaned even though it isn't dirty. I can't figure it out.
I had the same problem with my 530 until I figured out that I had to take the little yellow caps off and clean out the bearings and oil them. The first time took me around 30 minutes with tweezers and dental pick because so much hair was wrapped around them from months of neglect!
Mine will usually just turn away unless there are strins hanging off the toy, then sometimes they get caught around the brush and the unit turns off. I'm talking about dog toys also
yeawuteva wrote:what are the chances this vacuum is going to scratch my baseboards and walls? How accurate is the sensor?
I have the roomba 560, and wood floors w/ baseboards, and I haven't had any scratches in the last 6 months.
wrampton wrote:is it HEPA filtered?
No, but you can buy Hepa type filters for it on Ebay
ravenmasterq wrote:May I inquire as to how a Roomba is 'refurbished'?
They take the old furb out, and put a new furb in.
Any idea how this is different from the one CostCo stopped selling due to too many returns? Does this have a clock built in so it will automatically start up and clean the room e.g. every day at 09:00, after breakfast? Will it sufficiently torment the cat daily to warrant such a price?

This model doesn't have a clock and if you're cats anything like mine, he ignored it after the first day
Do you have to keep all clutter off the floor? I mean -- let's say you have the morning newspaper stacked on the floor, or you left a dirty sock by the bed, etc. How does the roomba handle that? How noisy is it?
Decided this is the model I want. Still curious on how it will ship... I could order now, or wait 4 hours til I get home and double check with the husband... Last time I waited, it sold out before I got home from work. EDIT: I am in. For one!
http://www.woot.com/forums/ViewPost.aspx?PostID=3237096 Here is a link to read all of the previous reviews and postings when this was last offered. I bought it and love it. If you're on the fence, just buy it, I was extremely satisfied with how much lazier it enabled me to become. I'm in for another so I don't have to carry it up the steps to my second floor.
midshipmanWOOT wrote:...I'm in for another so I don't have to carry it up the steps to my second floor.
They should come out with a mini roomba that does steps!!
I use mine on a voltage converter outside of the US (specifically, here in Israel where we have SuperDuperDust) (but holy!). It works just fine on my tile floors on on my Flor brand carpet tiles too, but they are very low-nap carpets. Do not disregard the extreme entertainment value for toddlers as well. However, I do recommend showing toddlers videos online of the Roomba in action before introducing the actual robot to your home.
Can anyone with a Roomba look at the back of their power supply and see if it is auto-switching? It should show someting like Input 120v or 100-200v. I'm living mostly in Europe and I'd love to have one for my apartment here.
Don't buy it, it is not good. I bought a brand new one and it worked for like 2 months and died. And then I bought a refurbished one from Woot and when I received it, it never worked! YOu just end up mobbing the floor, it is better.
Late to the party, but just wanted to say, I have this model, and I've never regretted it. One tip: Use your REGULAR vacuum for cleaning the chamber/filter on the Roomba (which should be done every couple uses, since it's small). Using the "real" vacuum makes the cleanup job last about 2 minutes!
In for one - after a good long while of wanting one! Everyone I know that has a Roomba has been satisfied with theirs. Can't wait to see how it works!
Had an older model. Good while it lasted. Unfortunately, it didn't last long enough. Died after about its 20th go round. Like the Bic Lighter of vacuums. More expensive than El Cheapo. Works great, for a little while. Then you throw it away. The difference is, I won't be buying a new one.
Awesome machine. At first I didn't like it because I have to clean it every time I use it, but then I realized that is way better than pushing around a vacuum which I still have to clean after I use it! I have 2 dogs and a cat and this one works great. I am getting a second one for the upstairs.
jonesygirl wrote:They should come out with a mini roomba that does steps!!
I totally agree!
Works great with dog hair...we have along haired Pomeranian. Don't forget to clean brushes after every use.
I got this last time it was up and LOVE it. Have a 4000 sq.ft. home and take it from room to room. Carpets and hardwood floors. The regular vacuum cleaner has not been out since I got it.
I bought a 510 from woot almost two years ago... The thing was amazing and did a great job but stopped working after about 7 months... I have heard of other people having similar issues with 5xx models reliability... That being said I bought 1 today... Hopefully if this one dies I can make one good one out of the two broken ones...
Been waiting over a month for one of these to show up on Woot again. In for 1! I'm now an official Wooter

Radius Around Point
You can use this tool to find the radius around a point on the map. First type in the radius required in kilometers or miles and then click on the map at the center of where you wish the circle to appear. You can then create as many radii as you wish.
Radius Around Point Map
Search For Location :
- Type in a radius required in the text box above.
- [Zoom and Pan to find the required area on the map then click on the map to draw a circle] OR [Type a location into the text box and click Draw Radius] OR [Input the latitude and longitude of the location in decimal format].
- Click as many times as necessary to draw multiple circles.
- You can use the [Clear Map] button to erase all markers and radii and start again.
Use the "URL to last radius" text box to find a URL that will show the most recent radius on this page when opened in a web browser. This URL can be sent to anyone if you wish to forward it on.
Google Earth KML Output
You can now export all the drawn radii on the map to Google Earth for improved display and printing. You must have Google Earth installed (or another application capable of importing KML files). You need to have a radius displayed on the map before the output will work. Please report any bugs.
The procedure to Export to KML is as follows:
- Draw one or more radii on the map as you see fit
- Once ready, click the [Generate KML] button. You will probably need to scroll down the page to find this!
- After a short delay, a blue hyperlink will appear below the button that reads [Download KML File Here]
- Click the hyperlink to download the KML file to your local machine
- You can then open the KML file in application such as Google Earth
Currently, the KML will include:
- The same radius size and shape
- Transparency of 50%
It will not include:
- Shading colour (blue only, but you can change this once it is loaded into Google Earth)
- Line colour (you can change this once it is loaded into Google Earth)
- Line thickness (you can change this once it is loaded into Google Earth)
These features may be added later depending on feedback.
CSV Upload
The CSV option allows you to upload bulk points to the map. To do this you must format your points using the convention of latitude,longitude,radius per line where latitude and longitude are in decimal format and radius in km. Make sure to strip out any whitespace. You can upload as many lines as you wish, however more lines will take more time and every web browser will have its limits on the maximum number of lines (hence circles drawn) before things slow to a halt.
For Example...
..should add two radii around the Olympic stadium in London for 10km and 15km

Great tool thanks - one improvement could be around the deletion of the clear last as it sometimes actually clears a little or a lot more than the last. It is a brilliant tool though.

Can you add the ability to plot constant distances by sea from a fixed point? (Taking into account the blockage from land masses and maybe, shallow water)
Great site as is though!

The map does not show all the larger small towns at the boundry of the 15 mile radius. Would like to see more detail at 15 miles. Using a forum that limits residence to 15 miles and they can't see if their town is included or not. Please add more detail. Thanks!

Is there any app that make the same?... because I find it hard to use it with the mobile... and it is a really good tool.

Great tool, but how can I save a map (with circles) as an image? (BMP, JPG etc) So far, I've used "print screen", but that is far from convenient.

Patti Middleton said she was working at the Port Boca Grande Lighthouse the first time she saw Mote Marine's research vessel in Boca Grande Pass.
Dubbed the Eugenie Clark, it made its first trip through Boca Grande Pass in the late '90s. Patti, a nationally-acclaimed artist, recorded that moment in history.
Once the Mote Marine Office of Boca Grande opened last year with Capt. Phil O'Bannon as its executive director, Patti said she wanted him to have it. He was more than pleased with the offering.
