Super inflation in medical prices is discouraging some Americans from taking their meds, and going to the doctor. Bank printing.
The reason is higher rates of suicide, car accidents and obesity.
Atlas argues that the U.S. health care system is top-notch relative to other countries and that data that show otherwise rely on including factors unrelated to health care or on spurious definitions. For example, life expectancy in the United States is unexceptional. When you take out suicides and fatal car accidents, factors that Atlas argues are unrelated to the health care system, the United States has the longest life expectancy in the world. (http://www.econtalk.org/archives/2012/07/scott_atlas_on.html)
Scott Atlas has a sad tendency to rely on right-wing institute reports that have nothing to do with science, or simply lie about the contents of the reports he uses.
In this case he is using a report not by health care researchers, but by economists, Ohsfeldt and Schneider. They had a report published by the American Enterprise Institute, a conservative think tank. Almost as soon as it was published the report was shown to be incorrect by statisicans who pinted put that the methods used was very, very wrong. The authors had to admit that they had never intended the numbers to be correct.
It made quite a spash, in 2007. There is no way Atlas does not know that he is using a falsified report. (Also, even high school maths show that the US would need more people dead to these factors than it had through WW2 each year for the numbers to work out. Its not hard to check)
Thank you for your information:-)
Stress is a big issue; we must not underestimate it. Over and over again studies have shown a reverse correlation between life expectancy and income asymmetry. The greater the asymmetry, the shorter the life expectancy, especially for men. Why is the economist not reporting on this?? I suspect it's just been overlooked. A US worker puts in more hours per week on average and works more weeks per year than do any of his western European counterparts.
This is not true for Switzerland. Having worked in both countries for years, I would say there is not much difference on stress levels except when waiting in lines, here the US plays in a different league!

I wonder what would happen if, for the sake or argument, that instead of Americans becoming eligible for Medicare for as long as they lived at age 65, as they do now...they became eligible for no more than 25 years, which could start at any point after age 45 that they wanted?
Without an assurance of Medicaid if their money ran out later, other than hospice care.
What would happen then?
You'd have a bunch of old, poor, Americans dying as their Medicare expired.
Any true, constitution-fearing American knows that it is better to die young as a Capitalist than to live long as a godless Socialist.
Hallelujah, brother. Represent.
The analysis was pretty clear: lousy health outcomes for younger Americans reduce life expectancy. Most of the difference is death rates for under 50's. Some of that is violence: the US is significantly more violent than comparable counties, particularly with gun deaths being way out there. Much of it is a lack of health care.
As for the nature of the population, I think it's rubbish and mostly racist rubbish to point at it. When cared for, meaning having insurance, we get largely the same outcomes across the various groups. The difference is lack of health insurance and certainly of quality health insurance. I note for example that high on the list is Israel, which has 3 distinct minority groups, Israeli Arabs, the ultra Orthodox (who live in their own universe) and the Bedouin (who don't really fit in the Israeli Arab category even by Arab labeling). The Bedouin are a main drag on Israeli statistics because of inbreeding, which shows in an extraordinarily high rate of birth defects and genetic diseases, but even with these minorities Israel is at the top of the charts. Why? Better health care, much less violence.
please stop with the whoel diet and lifestyle nonsense. you can't just make up some rediculous anecdote about supermarkets and then deduce an infereance regarding something as complicated as the life expectancy between populations each numbering in the hundreds of millions on it.
the answer is obviously demogrphics. compare race and ethnic groups, and social and economic statifications, with their counterparts in europe. america had slavery and has immigration. 2 things europe did not and does not have. compare rich whites in the US with rich whites in europe, then come tell me its all diet and organic ingrediants and all that other crap europeans so desperatley want it to be so they can feel superior about something for once in the last 100 years. your insecurities are embarassing trasnparent.
That graph was the last daily chart and what they found is that demographically identical Americans still live shorter than Europeans.
See below NeoConjob,
Was that classy enough for you? How about the overly classy NHS?
Its called murder in the US.
Not all of Europe is non-obese - obesity seems to be an Anglo-Saxon plague, with UK, Canada, Australia and NZ pretty high on the list. Poor Mexico seems to have caught it from America. But to your point about class and ethnicity, I'm certain that rich white people in America do live shorter lives than comparable rich white people in Europe, and the difference is obesity. You can see it walking down any street in any major American city. Where I live the rate is low but still completely unacceptable if you get stuck between two people on the subway and they're each taking up a third of your seat, leaving only a third for you. I never saw a single fat person in Paris or Rome or Buenos Aires. If they're there they at least have the grace to stay home ;)
An anglo saxon plague, or a plague of just too much wealth?
There is a big difference between overweight and obese.
Europe doesn't have immigration? Nice one!
Hmmm, at some point this century we will almost certainly be able to extend healthy lifespan indefinitely through lab grown organs with the patient's genome (no host vs. graft disease) and other advances. We can already print fairly long strands of DNA (and improving) and mostly need to work on epigenetics and printing whole chromosomes so each replaced cell in an organ has a genome with far fewer mutations (there's a couple each time a cell divides, and we all started at a single cell -> trillions of cells.... lotta mutations) and the proper genes are activated in each organ at the correct time.
The question then will be - can we deal with the incredible changes without destroying ourselves or the planet? On the upside, it should kickstart space exploration and colonization, along with taking much better care of our environment or the immortality will be short lived...
Those advances are inevitable but my real fear is they will only be available to the super-rich, dividing humans into two species. I can't think of many people LESS deserving of longer lives than some of our anti-democratic billionaires.
Maybe in the US due to all that amazing healthcare, the number of premies that are born and endure is very high compared with other nations health care systems where the ill, young or old are put on track to intentional death by their caregivers.
Maybe the US counts the birth of every child born with a breath in its lungs. Not many countries do.
Perhaps this might present a more favourable picture of US longevity.
Wow, "US health statistics are bad"
Choose A or B to explain this.
A) There is something wrong in the US healthcare system.
B) Other countries are secretly killing the bad babies.
You chose B. Keep it classy.
Hello NewConjob,
Here are certain of the wonders of Britain's socialist healthcare system. Wow, even Stalin would be proud.
Sick children are being discharged from NHS hospitals to die at home or in hospices on controversial 'death pathways'.
Until now, end of life regime the Liverpool Care Pathway was thought to have involved only elderly and terminally-ill adults.
But the Mail can reveal the practice of withdrawing food and fluid by tube is being used on young patients as well as severely disabled newborn babies.
One doctor has admitted starving and dehydrating ten babies to death in the neonatal unit of one hospital alone.
Writing in a leading medical journal, the physician revealed the process can take an average of ten days during which a baby becomes 'smaller and shrunken'.
The LCP – on which 130,000 elderly and terminally-ill adult patients die each year – is now the subject of an independent inquiry ordered by ministers.
The investigation, which will include child patients, will look at whether cash payments to hospitals to hit death pathway targets have influenced doctors' decisions.
Medical critics of the LCP insist it is impossible to say when a patient will die and as a result the LCP death becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy. They say it is a form of euthanasia, used to clear hospital beds and save the NHS money.

If ever I would wish to kill a troublesome disabled child, the fine British Healthcare system comes immediately to mind.
So yes, I do choose B.
And what disparities there are in reporting live births....
However, the method of calculating IMR often varies widely between countries, and is based on how they define a live birth and how many premature infants are born in the country. Infant mortality rates can be flawed depending on a nations' live birth criterion, vital registration system, and reporting practices.[21] Certain practices of measurements have the potential to be underestimated. Measurements provide a statistical way of measuring the standard of living of residents living in each nation. Increases and decreases of the infant mortality rate reflect social and technical capacities of a nations' population.[4
and ...
Although many countries have vital registration systems and certain reporting practices, there are a great number of inaccuracies, particularly in undeveloped nations, in the statistics of the amount of infants dying.
Another challenge to comparability is the practice of counting frail or premature infants who die before the normal due date as miscarriages (spontaneous abortions) or those who die during or immediately after childbirth as stillborn. Therefore, the quality of a country's documentation of perinatal mortality can matter greatly to the accuracy of its infant mortality statistics. This point is reinforced by the demographer Ansley Coale, who finds dubiously high ratios of reported stillbirths to infant deaths in Hong Kong and Japan in the first 24 hours after birth, a pattern that is consistent with the high recorded sex ratios at birth in those countries.
All of the countries named adopted the WHO definitions in the late 1980s or early 1990s,[28] which are used throughout the European Union.[29] However, in 2009, the US CDC issued a report that stated that the American rates of infant mortality were affected by the United States' high rates of premature babies compared to European countries. It also outlined the differences in reporting requirements between the United States and Europe, noting that France, the Czech Republic, Ireland, the Netherlands, and Poland do not report all live births of babies under 500 g and/or 22 weeks of gestation.[30][31][dead link][3
Strange in that one would have thought a Conservative would have taken the time to investigate a matter before opening his mouth. But then, you are a new conservative, which I suppose equates to a dunce.
Gary Marshall
And there is more...
An anonymous physician, who admitted starving and dehydrating 10 babies to death in one hospital's neonatal unit, described the gory details of the process in the British Medical Journal.
"I know, as they [parents] cannot, the unique horror of witnessing a child become smaller and shrunken, as the only route out of a life that has become excruciating to the patient or to the parents who love their baby," the doctor wrote. "I reflect on how sanitized this experience seems within the literature about making this decision."
But the reality is anything but sanitized, the doctor said. "Survival is often much longer than most physicians think . . . Parents and care teams are unprepared for the sometimes severe changes that they will witness in the child's physical appearance as severe dehydration ensues."
Critics of the practice say it's impossible to know when a patient will die, so they see LCP as a form of euthanasia, designed to empty hospital beds and save the NHS money.
A hospice pediatric nurse, Bernadette Lloyd, wrote to the Department of Health, railing against the death pathways.
''I have seen children die in terrible thirst because fluids are withdrawn from them until they die," she said, according to the Daily Mail. "I witnessed a 14-year-old boy with cancer die with his tongue stuck to the roof of his mouth when doctors refused to give him liquids by tube. His death was agonizing for him and for us nurses to watch."
Parents feel under pressure to send their child along the LCP, as doctors tell them their child has only a few days to survive. But figuring out how long the toddlers will live is guess work, Lloyd said. "I have seen a reasonable number of children recover after being taken off the pathway."
Its okay, NewConjob, I made it all up.
So when you said "other nations," you were just talking about the UK.
Correct me if I'm wrong on this, but the LCP requires that person already be dying and doesn't use any active means to kill patients. (as euthanasia does.)
But let's leave England out of this. When I talk about socialized medicine I'm really referring to those hippy liberal paradises like Israel and Taiwan.
Hello Again Neoconjob,
That's right. Its only Britain, a first world nation with a much praised national health service, that would do such an evil thing. Those lesser nations, without a health service or a limited one run by despots and the military, would never consider stooping to such horrors to save some bucks.
Your comments obviously betray the fact that you didn't read the articles. But leftist morons are famed for ignoring all evidence contrary to their prized idiocies. That is why they so eagerly wish to just leave the famed NHS out of this and move on. Why even bring it up. Its just a small piece of a much grander pie in socialist medicine.
Read the articles this time, moron, and all shall be answered. Especially read the part about where the families are not even told their loved ones are put on this painful path to death.
Its too bad. Ghadaffi often made have made use of such people as yourself. Well, you missed that opportunity. Why not try North Korea. Opportunities abound there for mendacious, ideologically driven socialist scum of the earth types like yourself.
I did read the articles, incluiding your selective editing. For example, "It also outlined the differences in reporting requirements between the United States and Europe, noting that France, the Czech Republic, Ireland, the Netherlands, and Poland do not report all live births of babies under 500 g and/or 22 weeks of gestation.[30][31][dead link] The report concluded, however, that the differences in reporting are unlikely to be the primary explanation for the United States' relatively low international ranking.
I wonder why you didn't include the last part. Maybe because it undermined the thesis that the only thing wrong with the US is reporting the babies that other countries say aren't viable,
I tried North Korea, but I don't like Kim Chee. But have some sympathy, 10 years ago, putting "mendacious, ideologically driven socialist scum of the earth" on resume would get a job, but the financial crisis really hit that pretty hard.
By the way, I love your movies.
Hello Neoconjob,
Well, I can't include everything, and if you had actually read the Wikipedia document, you were sure to point this out. You did but only after prodding.
All just to show you that things are never so clear cut as the statistics purportedly show. The US spends more than any other nation on healthcare. When someone tells me that they don't live as long, then I really have to wonder why.
It may have something to do with health. It may have something to do with being somewhat overweight. Not obese, but overweight. It may also have to do with the methods used to gather statistics and the standards. It may also have to do with the US fighting a drug war that it cannot win and which leads to the premature deaths of so many youths, especially black males in urban areas.
As we can see from the methods of the NHS, don't get all high and mighty about socialist medicine.
If the US registers more live births, that would mean that the US should register less stillbirths. It does not, it registers more. The US simply has a higher infant mortality across the board.
Or nations classify a premie birth and quick death not as stillborn but as an abortion. And thanks for providing the necessary statistics with your statements!!!!
Its always important to show your work, unless you went to socialist public school system where homework is forbidden.
"Among the least obese Europeans are the Swiss and the Italians, and they are near the top of the post-65 longevity league."
This is mostly diet. I've walked into a plain old average supermarket in the USA and in Germany and bought basic food stuffs, then compared the list of ingredients.
The difference is appalling.
The European comestibles have the expected ingredients, if juice, fruit; if pesto sauce, basil, olive oil and parmesan; if bread, wheat flour and yeast; if cheese, milk; if nutella, hazelnuts.
The American list goes like this: if juice, artificial flavours and colors; if pesto parsley, palm oil and modified milk solids; if bread, processed flour and hydrogenated oil; if cheese, modified milk solids; if nutella, palm oil.
It truly is a mystery why them Europeans live longer.
Last week I got coupons in the mail and paper from McDonalds and Burger King.
If I buy one of their greasy sandwiches with the non-nutritional bun - breakfast sandwiches too - I get another one free! (a BOGOF)
One would think the gov't would mandate zones where people can only eat lousy food, much like they do with smoking.
It still doesn't feel like life is too short.
The candle that burns twice as bright, burns half as long. And so it goes. Shorter wick, but much more tallow. Maybe one unseen way of fixing our budget woes, will certainly stymie some of the damning aging demographics faced by the G20 countries.
One very important thing to consider is that the US also allows a lot more immigration than those countries and also has a lot more wealth inequality as well. When you have a large part of your population immigrating from places like Mexico and other Latin American countries, that will play a huge role in your life expectancy.
Another thing to understand is that when you consider life expectancy, you also have to consider the conditional expectation of survival. For example, the expected live span is very different from the expected life span given that someone has already lived 20 years. So pure life expectancy is a skewed number.
I think a better way to measure this is by looking at a graph of the life expectancy given that someone has lived a certain amount of years. This is a much better measure than by life expectancy alone.
In mathematics, the concept I explained earlier is called conditional expectation.
Hispanic Americans, for whatever reason, actually have a longer life expectancy than white Americans.
I actually didn't know that. Either way, my argument above still holds since groups like African-Americans, Native Americans, and a couple other groups actually do have a lower life expectancy.
My main point was that a graph of conditional expectation(conditioned on the number of years alive) is still a better way to compare the quality of health care systems than life expectancy alone. It's a far, far superior way.
Why do you think the US has a greater immigrtation that Europe? Is it 1960 again?
The US is one of the most welcoming countries to immigration.
Others are as well, like Canada, Switzerland, Australia, etc; however, the US does have the most immigrants come into it every year. The US was basically built by immigrants.
Wrong point! America is not medically inferior, it is medically unequal.
As a former Public Health practitioner, I can tell you that looking at OECD national statistics is a political, not a public health, exercise. The minute you break down outcomes within nation by almost anything, you will see there are multiple subpopulations with very different outcomes. That's the news story -- not American medical inferiority.
It's not at all obvious that longevity should be the ultimate objective. As an elderly person, I can see that there is no respectable way out of this fun-house other than eventual interminable suffering. Please, stop giving me so much advice and help! Give it instead to those who are in the lower third of medical access.
The problem of differential longevity between rich and poor was covered in this recent column http://www.economist.com/news/finance-and-economics/21568745-longevity-a...
The main issue seems to be lifestyle - diet, smoking etc
If I die of a heart attack at 75 sobeit. I just don't want to outlive my brain.
Lifestyle is clearly relevant, but this is a pandora's box. For example, the main factor could be stress (with smoking,etc. one response to that). I could easily construct a well-supported case that Americans die from stress & individual responses to coping with stress, because they work longer hours more days a year. A nation of workaholics. Sacrificing their bodies as they produce the technological innovations that drive the world economy. I could show longevity correlates with the length of the lunch hour & guess who comes out on top.
Americans do not work more hours per year than most other countries; Mexico is top at 2000+ hrs/yr while US is mid at about 1400. Productivity, (GDP per hour worked) though is different with US close to the top
See OECD data for "Average annual hours actually worked per worker" stats.oecd.org/Index.aspx?DatasetCode=ANHRS#
or, easier: bbc.co.uk/news/business-18868704
But Americans work more hours than people in other highly developed nations, and an overwhelming majority of innovations in the last 100 years are American. So his point was that although this has brought the world (and especially the USA) impressive progress and advancement, it has done so at the expense of the health of many Americans.
Those OECD stats show that the only other advanced economy where people work longer than Americans is South Korea, where peoples' life expectancy is roughly the same as in the USA despite a much healthier diet (for cultural reasons).
That is why we have public health measures like DALYs, HALEs, amendable mortality etc -all of which tell the same story. Americans not only live shorter lives, but do so in poorer health.
"As the sating goes"? Typo, or pun?
typo, sorry, corrected
This article screams for graphical exposition of the comparative values for the various statistics discussed over different countries.
I think you're right that it is a lifestyle difference.
When I come back to the UK to see family, I always have a great time in the supermarkets. There are so many tasty, relatively healthy meals that practically cook themselves. In America, if you try and subsist on easy-to-cook supermarket products, you will kill yourself pretty quickly.
If I don't feel like cooking in the US, my choices are limited to cheap Chinese, fast food or a diner (american cuisine restaurant). The diners are always packed full of old people.
If you can't cook (perhaps because you're too old), Your choices are toxic supermarket products or greased cow.
I'm not sure if this is a choice or not. Why are European shelves stocked with better food?
History teaches us this: Those that fail to learn how to cook, are doomed to repeatedly eating crappy food.
American blacks have markedly short life expectancy compared to other ethnic groups.
In particularly there is a high premature birth rate with associated higher rates of birth related complications and death. And these early deaths in neonatal period, really bring down life expectancy averages.
American Black adults also suffer from world record levels of obesity, diabetes, hypertension, heart disease and strokes...and even AIDS.
But still American blacks have among the longest life expectancy for blacks in the world.
The American White population life expectancy rivals the best in Europe even in the past decade.
The Hispanic-Americans have above average longevity that exceed whites.
And all groups are surpassed by Asian Americans who have rates that exceed #1 Japan.
If you subtract the Black American segment, health outcomes in America exceed Switzerland, Germany and France.
National Mortality statistics paper over racial distinctions that are real and critically important in longevity outcomes.
I think that's a bit of a trap. Perhaps life expectancy for American blacks is so low because African Americans are so much more likely to be poor.
If you took Europe's poor out of the equation, too, the lead would narrow, although I suspect that American's would still live longer. That doesn't really say nice things about America, though.
Not true, according to the study discussed https://www8.nationalacademies.org/onpinews/newsitem.aspx?RecordID=13497 Americans fare worse than people in other countries even when the analysis is limited to non-Hispanic whites and people with relatively high incomes and health insurance, nonsmokers, or people who are not obese.
Precisely. Those are the ones experiencing the most stress.
Question: Are you trying to be witty, funny or insightful?
Because you failed at all three.
One can argue that all the "lifestyle" factors are responses to stress (overeating, smoking,etc.). Do you have some intellectual response to this? I don't detect any reasoning behind your reply.
This general rule applies to every statistic regarding America vs. Europe.
Education? The US rivals the best of Scandinavia. Crime? Ditto. Health? You guessed it. And it goes on and on. For many reasons, the black American population heavily skews the statistics downward in virtually every category, while the Hispanic population has a similar effect as well (largely the result of new and impoverished immigrants).
So when we look at US statistics and look for solutions, let's please stop being idiots and pretending the burden is the same on every American when it isn't. If we want to raise the country up, start by helping those at the bottom without hurting everyone else.
That's the point though; poverty and all its negative associated traits are heavily focused in one segment of the population, which dramatically brings down the statistics in every category. This is true despite the fact that only a few decades ago, Asian Americans were considerably poorer than African Americans.
@hmunkey - did you not see my comment? The study shows that these differences exist even when accounting for ethnic differences eg a white person in the USA will have a shorter life then one in any other country. Your statement is not supported by the evidence.
If you're trying to imply that white people have shorter lives because they face more stress then how do you account for the fact that ethnic minorities in the US have even shorter lifespans?
If it was a reference to 'higher incomes' then why do those same factors not apply in other developed countries?
I was being snappy because your argument literally undermines itself.
The US differs from other developed economies in having greater labor market flexibility. This translates into job insecurity & stress. Across all socio-economic groups & ages. There is also a tendency to get rid of older workers when an economic downturn provides an excuse. Additionally, some large companies employ "rank & yank", where all employees are rated every year & the lowest 10% fired. The data needed for this comparison would pertain to the frequency of job changes over a lifetime.Europe differs significantly from the US in this respect. My point is that white people are not immune from stress. nor are those with higher incomes. The points made here are consistent with your post. Unless your unstated argument is that lifestyle differences are due to a US culture of self-indulgence compared to other advanced economies.
I should add that individuals who don't smoke & aren't obese would have stress but would not have responded by adopting creature comforts. In other words, the stress produces negative health effects both directly & through unhealthy lifestyle choices. This is why those effects are evident when one factors out smoking & obesity.
The US figures show that, if not managed well, you can be too rich.
Too much sugar, red meat, sodium, sitting behind a desk, sitting in cars, sitting in front of a TV, too many guns, too much advertising telling us to make bad decisions.
A free-market is great, but it can also encourage us to make a whole lot of really crappy decisions.
The "sugar" part is decidedly true. Americans are very fond of super-sweet things - in pastries, desserts, drinks, etc., so much so it is just taken for granted that super-sweet is standard. European chocolatiers aiming at carving out a large market in China all have to reformulate their recipes to come up with a less sweet chocolate, otherwise it won't sell well. So this is just a point on what is taken for granted.
You know, in thinking about it further, I think what Americans really like are carbs. Donuts, potato chips, french fries, burgers, ice cream, fried chicken, corn dogs, etc.
I believe you are right. I must say fresh Dunkin' Donut is hard to resist (alas, in my youth, I could eat half a dozen in one sitting!), as is good fried chicken, as is good ice cream... I battle them by imagining myself obese. That usually is enough to scare me straight. Nothing is as potent as a little vanity. :)
"Nothing is as potent as a little vanity. :)"
About 20 years ago, I gained thirty pounds in five years, and got to where I no longer recognized myself in the mirror. And, could no longer fit into my clothes.
An aggressive diet brought me down by twenty pounds, which for me was good enough, and I've been running, and eating fruit and salads ever since...
Mine is brisk walk. Mainly I can't run for too long. I waik also to cleanse the mind. It works like magic. I think the body needs some protein. Hope you eat lots of fish. :)
Children of the Korn. Korn is Mother. Korn is Father.
PS a real hot dog tastes like meat, not filler. :)
Have you heard of the recent studies?
Exercise is all good, but the real villan is sitting for extended periods. It (unfortunately) counters good exercise.
Us people just are not designed to be sittin' all day and night.
An orthopedic surgeon told me that when a good friend needed surgery for a herniated disc. He had a high pressure job, sat up to 12 hours a day. He now keeps to a strict exercise regime (brisk walk) and takes a 10 minute break standing up for every hour he sits. Much better.
A way out of US budget problems; encourage shorter lifespans. Trim the geezer liability tail.
Or re introduce predators.

The airbag jacket for motorcycling, horseriding and power sports.
March 17, 2006 Motorcyclists have long been the most vulnerable road users because they do not have an effective barrier between themselves and other objects in an accident. A flurry of activity in motorcycle protective gear could change things. Honda recently showed its first air-bag on a motorcycle and manufacturers are developing a cross between the airbag and a protective jacket designed to protect the motorcycle rider's neck and spine in the event of an accident. One of the first to market with the new design is Hit-Air which sells a range of jackets and vests featuring airbag technology designed to keep riders safe and comfortable in a wide range of driving and climatic conditions. The jackets are already in use by police departments in Brazil, Italy, Japan and Spain and appear to offer significantly greater protection than a normal jacket. The inflatable vests are finding application in many other potentially dangerous activities such as horseriding and power sports.

Re: Vuelta 2010Date: 08-09-2010
11º stage Distance: 208.4 km Road – Stage Departure: Vilanova i la Gletrú, Spain Arrival: Pal, Andorra Igor Antón (Euskaltel-Euskadi) surged back into the overall lead in Wednesday's climbing stage into Andorra just a day after losing it on time bonuses. 2010 Vuelta a Espana, stage 11: Igor Anton fights his way to a stage win and back into the lead. This time, the Basque climber left no doubt that he could be the man to beat as the Vuelta a España, taking his second stage victory and recapturing the lead with an impressive showing up the final ramps of the 208.4km 11th stage in the Vuelta's first mountaintop finish. Antón gapped overnight leader Joaquim RodrÃguez (Katusha) with 3km to go in the final, 10km climb to the Valnord/Pal summit and then edged past dogged veteran Ezequiel Mosquera (Xacobeo-Galicia) to win. Antón won three seconds ahead of Mosquera and took a 45-second lead on Vincenzo Nibali (Liquigas) in the overall. Vuelta Stage 11 result 1 ANTON, Igor (Euskaltel-Euskadi) 5h 25' 44'' 2 MOSQUERA, Ezequiel (Xacobeo-Galicia) + 3'' 3 TONDO, Xavier (Cervelo TestTeam) + 10'' 4 URAN, Rigoberto (Caisse d'Epargne) + 16'' 5 NIBALI, Vincenzo (Liquigas-Doimo) + 23'' Vuelta overall standings after Stage 11 1 ANTON, Igor (Euskaltel-Euskadi) 47h 37' 15'' 2 NIBALI, Vincenzo (Liquigas-Doimo) + 45'' 3 TONDO, Xavier (Euskaltel-Euskadi) + 1' 04'' 4 RODRIGUEZ, Joaquin (Katusha) + 1' 17'' 5 MOSQUERA, Ezequiel (Xacobeo-Galicia) + 1' 29'' Igor Antón (Euskaltel-Euskadi) looking pretty good in the mountains, and good for top of the podium in Madrid.

Re: Vuelta 2010
have been watching the race on eurosport in turkey...interesting to see cav get out-sprinted on at least 3 occasions
Re: Vuelta 2010
Yes, interesting, and a couple of stage wins, mostly from the efforts of Mattew Goss (which Cav acknowledges) and the realisation, that "one sprint wonders" at the end of stages, may not cut it The Vuelta (as Le Tour) he will be required to contest Intermediate Sprints, to stay in the Green, and be wearing it in Madrid.

Re: Vuelta 2010
Yep, he's hoping he can keep the points up, and stay in Green Lone Rider- I rode on the long, dark road... before I danced under the lights.

Re: Vuelta 2010
Yeah saw it last night. On the slow mo replay you can see him doing a major flip. Wasn't there something in the TdF re the boys in orange crashing a lot ..... The amount of road rash that he had was amazing. There was not much left of anything .... Thanksfully Ok in the scheme of things and his team mate is OK. Aint Mr Roche in fine form Doing well indeed. The stage finish that Barredo won was pretty good too !!

Re: Vuelta 2010Woot! My friend from my local village in Slovakia, Peter Vetlis, won the TT Stage 17. I won't bore you with all the fanboi photos but I'm stoked!
He had a bit of extra luck with the wind change but it was a fair win, specially considering his good performance in the race so far.
Re: Vuelta 2010Manios, headlines are "...Velits in dreamland..." and a great boost to him.

3rd overall. His best major tour performance. (He won the U23 worlds a few years back). Dropping his washing at mums and coming straight down here for the worlds.
Re: Vuelta 2010This is what a grand tour does to your body from 4 weeks racing.
The first shot is a few weeks from the start. It does not even look like the same person.
Re: Vuelta 2010I spotted the difference... in second picture he is wearing a hat.
But seriously. I know what you are getting at though don't think these photos are easy to compare - different lighting and body position / posture - you could argue that the strong (outdoor) sunlight simply brings too much contrast whereas in the indoor shot - the light is very dispersed with fewer shadows.

Re: Vuelta 2010Yes, maybe not the best, specially considering he's quite thin already, but riding with him a few weeks before the race and seeing all the shots after he looks like he's lost a hell of a lot of weight.

The city of Hayward, California. It is known as the "heart" of the bay. The city was founded by a man named William Hayward, who came to California to seek his fortune in the California Gold Rush (Began in 1848, I believe). He bought some forty acres from some Rancher, and in a few years sprouted into a town. Was at one point misspelled into "Haywood". Haystack is a slang term when reffering to this city.

by Kristen Schaub Complement your flat-panel TV with this slender center speaker Build a complete on-wall speaker system for your flat-panel TV using the slim Mythos Seven as the center channel. It uses many of the same technologies found in Definitive's Mythos floor-standing speakers to provide a wide soundstage with pinpoint imaging, crystal-clear dialogue, and superb realism. And at just over 4" deep, this center channel speaker is made to be wall-mounted below today's slim TVs. High-tech drivers for exceptionally detailed sound Close-up of the pure aluminum dome tweeter. At the center of the cabinet are two 3-1/2" midrange drivers surrounding a 1" dome tweeter. The pure aluminum dome tweeter produces extended highs that reveal nuance and shimmer without a trace of edginess. Flanking the midranges are two 3-1/2" bass radiators, which give the Mythos Seven better bass performance than you might expect from such a slim speaker. Die-cast aluminum baskets, a resonance-free PolyStone baffle, and proprietary damping technologies built into the cabinet ensure clean sound. Gorgeous aircraft-grade aluminum cabinet The enclosure is made of black hand-polished aluminum for a sleek look that'll go well with most modern décors. The Mythos Seven comes with a wall-mounting bracket that will adapt to most swing out, arm-style TV wall mounts, so the speaker moves along with your TV when you reposition it. And a rubber-tipped adjustable foot on the bottom of the cabinet allows you to aim the speaker upwards towards your listening position when placed on a low shelf. Building a system Team up the Mythos Seven with two Mythos Five floor-standing speakers or two Mythos Six on-wall speakers for the left and right channels, and the Mythos Gems as surround speakers. Add Definitive's SuperCube II, SuperCube III, or ProSub 800 subwoofers for hard-hitting bass. Got wire? Most speakers don't include any. Learn about choosing and installing speaker wire at the Crutchfield Learning Center. Shop our selection of speaker wire. Did you know? Your new speakers will probably sound better after several weeks of use than they do right out of the box. That's because the material surrounding the woofers will loosen up, allowing the drivers to move more fully. Definitive Technology estimates a break-in period of 24 to 48 hours of playback before the speakers will deliver optimum sound quality. For more information and helpful tips, check out this article from Definitive's website about conditioning your speakers.

It has to reproduce clear dialogue and special effects that keep your eyes and ears glued to the movie action. A high-quality center speaker is a great investment for any surround sound setup. Try to choose one that's as closely matched as possible to your front right and left speakers, so that as sound moves across the front stage, it stays seamlessly realistic.
Nice speaker Written By DJ, Ohio on Sunday, March 22, 2015 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Was looking for a good speaker to fit in a tight space and this definitely fills that need. It is very slim and compact but still has great sound, especially for the size. Price was reasonable as well. Pros: Compact, low profile, great looking, impressive sound Cons: None
Definitive Technology Mythos Seven Written By Sean, Arizona on Saturday, January 10, 2015 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Really nice center speaker. I have a large room, and would have liked a larger center, but this was the only one that would fit under my tv. Initially, I was not too impressed, but after a few days, the speaker really started to open up and I got the clarity I was looking for in a center channel. If you have limited space, give this a try. Pros: Compact, fits under my tv Cons: None
at last! Written By Sea4Me, VB, VA on Saturday, August 30, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Just what I needed. If you're balancing what you want vs what you need, you expect to make sacrifices. Well, it was hard to find the right size center channel & I was open to paying a premium for the fit rather than give up the form of my room. Luckily, I found this speaker. Sounds amazing, nice low profile, not an overwhelming price. I feel like I have both form (the appearance of my living space) and function (and awesome sounding system) for my new Samsung Plasma 64" Glad you're here, Definitive! (And thanks for the lightening fast shipping, Crutchfield!) Pros: low profile, clean lines, crystal clear sound Cons: haven't found any struggles yet...will see what happens as I push this speaker
Center speaker Written By Sdarrow, Santa Barbara on Saturday, March 22, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Purchased the mythos 7 for my center speaker to go along with two mythos 6's that I am using as my front left and right. Overall, very happy with style and performance for the price/size. Pros: Great style and low profile. Cons: none
Ok for main speaker at low volumes Written By JeffN, Van Buren, AR on Wednesday, January 15, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I purchased this to be the main center channel speaker in a mid-priced system in my family room. It can distort at louder volumes, but is fine for "normal" TV levels. Given its small size, this is an accomplishment. I think it would take a considerably larger speaker to play at movie levels. Pros: Small, I don't have room for a deeper speaker. Good looking. Cons: I wish I could drive it harder without distortion.
Nice sound Written By BReeves780, Nashville, TN on Sunday, December 29, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I bought 2 Mythos Six and a Seven along w/ a ProSub 800 for center, side & sub speakers for a new Samsung plasma and although they're still new to me, I really like the sound of the outer speakers. The Sub is a little bit "all there or not" but the Mythos' are all great...look and sound terrific. Pros: NIce look, compact, great sound
Definitive Technology Mythos Seven Written By J, Philly on Tuesday, November 19, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Great sound quality in a compact unit
Pretty good - could be "larger" sounding Written By Kevin, Palo Alto, CA on Wednesday, September 18, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I got these after five years of requests to downsize my Polk RTi A6s from the wife; they sounded amazing but were just too massive. I tried the Klipsch G-42 passive soundbar first but was dismayed at how pathetic it sounded compared to my beloved Polks. Sent it back to Crutchfield and called up to ask what they would recommend. Two different salespeople pointed me to Definitive Technologies and holy cow am I glad that they did. I got this speaker to complement a pair of Mythos Gem XLs on L & R fiddle; it balances the sound very well and gives great dialogue when watching TV. I am a little disappointed in the "size" of the sound, however - unlike the Gem XLs, I can tell when I listen to it that the sound is being pushed through a pair of 3 1/2" cones...passive radiators or no. If you have the space for it and the extra hundred bucks, jump up to the next Definitive Technology center channel CS-8040HD instead. I would, but the form factor doesn't work for my setup. Given my constraints, this speaker sounds better than anything else by a long shot. I just wish I had the space to get a slightly larger center channel in place.
Definitive Tech Mythos Seven Written By TomD, Jacksonville, FL on Saturday, June 08, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Not a lot of oomph in this center speaker, but it's pretty good for its size. If you need a good center speaker that is only 4 inches high, this is a decent choice. Pros: Good if space if space is limited. Cons: Could use a little more bass or richness. If the size of the speaker is not a factor, you might want to upgrade to the Mythos Nine.
speaker review Written By middle speaker - Mylos seven, Coupeville, WA on Monday, December 10, 2012 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I received this speaker on time, packed well, had good instructions and best plays well in my bed room AV sound system Pros: All good Cons: none noted
Mythos Seven - Center Speaker Written By Boo, Novi MI on Wednesday, October 03, 2012 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I priousley had a JBL center speaker, but wanted something with a little more oomph. I have had the Mythos Seven Center Speaker speaker for about 3 weeks It has excellent sound just what I was looking for. The slim design fits perfectly in front of the TV Pros: Great sound, nice design and looks perfect in front of the TV Cons: None
Mythos Seven - Center Speaker Written By David C, Graham, WA on Sunday, February 12, 2012 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I was looking for a quality center speaker that was powerful however small in size. This speaker did not disappoint. Quality sound. Perfect size. Nice looks. Pros: Size and sound quality. Cons: Cost - you truly pay for what you get however I would have liked to have paid less.
Definitive Technology Mythos Seven Written By ChrisN, Austin, TX on Thursday, September 30, 2010 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) This was my first time ordering from Crutchfield, and I was impressed to say the least. I was kept up to date on my order status as it progressed. The Definitive Mythos 7 fits perfectly in front of my LED Samsung and sounds amazing. The voices sound like they reach out into the room. I needed a low profile center channel speaker and this one fits the bill perfectly without sacrificing sound quality.
foundation speaker Written By Anonymous, Woolwich NJ on Sunday, April 04, 2010 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I am slowly rebuilding my surround sound system. This speaker was the start. The center channel is where most of your experience begins. I am not sure what will be next. I love the Mythos item. Quality is the focus. I always buy quality versus name. Next will be replacing the L-R front and subwoofer. Or maybe my Onkyo receiver to be all HDMI. If Crutch keeps their prices inline, they are the way to buy.

by Amanda P. You can see Yamaha's commitment to exceptional sound quality in every aspect of their A-S2000. It's built from the ground up give you the best performance possible — from its innovative, fully balanced amplifier design to its rigid, anti-vibration chassis. This integrated amplifier feeds 90 full-bandwidth-rated watts to each of your stereo speakers — you'll enjoy clean, undistorted audio, even during your music's most demanding peaks. Wide-range frequency response lets you experience all the details on your LPs, CDs, and even high-resolution SACDs and DVD-Audio discs in stereo mode. Fully balanced amplification The A-S2000 features a set of balanced XLR inputs for noise-free, distortion-free audio signals from compatible high-end audio gear. Its advanced amplifier design keeps the signal balanced, completely isolating the "plus" and "minus" sides of each channel, ensuring remarkably clean, pure sound. This amp is also a great choice for vinyl lovers — it can handle signals from MM (moving magnet) cartridges, as well as from more demanding MC (moving coil) cartridges. Use tone controls without sacrificing audio quality Many amps offer direct modes that let you bypass tone control circuitry for optimum sound quality. But you don't have to choose between audio quality and properly balanced sound with the A-S2000. Its volume and tone controls are wired in parallel — this allows you to adjust treble and bass to your liking, without muddying your music. A strong, vibration-resistant build This integrated amplifier boasts a thoughtful, rock-solid design. Yamaha organized the left and right channels into a straight, symmetrical layout, keeping the signal path short and the sound clean. High-end internal components — such as extruded aluminum heat sinks and custom-made capacitors — allow the A-S2000 to handle demanding passages effortlessly. An anti-resonant base, rigid center bar, and height-adjustable steel feet provide a sturdy, vibration-resistant foundation. Connections and convenience This integrated amp offers enough inputs to connect six audio components, including a phono input and a set of XLR inputs for compatible high-end gear. Two sets of main speaker outputs let you connect an additional pair of speakers. Separate preamp input/line-level output jacks allow you to use the A-S2000 as an independent power amplifier or pre-amp for future system expansion. And the included remote gives you easy control of the amplifier and the other Yamaha audio components in your system.

Yamaha A-S2000 Written By Knolan, Clifton Park. N.Y. on Saturday, November 29, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I purchased the AS2000 because I didn't want to go the separates route. I am glad I did. It is very well built, sounds clean, clear, as if musicians and singers are in the room with you. I would purchase it again. Pros: Purchasing from Crutchfield. I have been buying from them since the early 90's. Polite, professional, knowledgeable sales staff and fantastic support. I will always use them. Cons: None
Yamaha A-S2000 integrated amplifier Written By Chuck, Indiana on Wednesday, November 26, 2014 I have had mine for just over a year now. It replaced a NAD M3 that I accidentally dropped off a stairwell onto a concrete slab. It is paired with a set of Aether Audio Timepiece Minis. The sound is fast and lively with a well delineated soundstage and very clean, controlled bass. Very quiet background. Plenty of "juice" for my current hungry custom speakers. It runs cool, even when "cranked" for long periods. Fit and finish are very good. I love the retro look. I purchased the brushed aluminum version - of course. Very good value for the price. Pros: Compares well to other high quality amps at this price point. A very good value in my opinion. Also, it provides a very "muscular" 90 watts. Don't be deceived by other manufacturers' bloated watt ratings. This is a true, high-current 90 watt amp. Cons: After a year of ownership, none that I detect. This is well designed and well executed. Yamaha is back in the high-end audio game.
The One I Ultimatley Chose Written By Mr. H, Michigan on Saturday, February 16, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I originally avoided purchasing this as the price for a 90WPC amp seemed a bit excessive especially as I could not derive any significant specification differences between it and the cheaper A-S1000. I therefore selected the 1000 and was enamored with the quality of that unit. I then began to be a little itchy that maybe I had shortchanged myself as I perceive this to be a 23 or more year selection (how long my Adcom equipment lasted prior). I bit the bullet and purchased this unit to audition against the 1000 to ensure I hadn't sold myself short. The differences were noteworthy and immediately appreciable in my comparison of a PS Audio DL-III DAC connected to both units via RCA. The 2000 squarely extends the capacities of the 1000 by extending bass response, widening the sound stage, and adding more detailed resolution to upper treble (symbols show longer sustain and detail). Vocals remain beautifully present on this unit although a bit less dominant since there is now more additional detail to hear with the 2000. If you can afford the extra $ you will receive a real gift of additional sound in the order of I'd say 5-10% more detail. This unit and the 1000 both sound very musical and in no way harsh or analytical. It is a masterpiece that I am grateful to have made my own. Thanks Yamaha and thanks Crutchfield for allowing me to make the right choice by auditioning both models. Pros: Masterpiece of quality construction, beauty and acoustic performance - Remote is wonderfully spartan but ergonomically perfect. You will not believe how heavy it is since the appearance is so streamlined. Cons: Needs about 3 inches more depth than most, beware that XLR input is limited to 2.8 volts which may restrict XLR connectivity for many DAC's. Don't hurt yourself trying to lift this beast into place it is really a big boy toy.
The best Integrated 2 Channel Amp under $6000. Written By TheZoellerSystem, Long Beach, CA on Wednesday, November 21, 2012 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I am driving a pair of Bowers & Wilkins 804 Diamonds ($7,500) Bi-amplifed (2 runs of speaker cable to each speaker) with this amp. There is no need for an equalizer in my setup driving speakers like these. I do not know what the other guy is complaining about, my unit never gets hot-it actually stays remarkably cool for such high current capabilities. He needs better speakers that can handle the high current with finesse-I personally would never use Bose with anything this nice...Im 25 years old btw, ahem. I chose this amp for its simple aesthetic design, very solid construction, and very low THD. I can not, repeat, can not hear anything in the background, ever. My favorite thing about this unit actually is the way it handles muting... When you hit the mute switch the volume softly decreases 20db = 4x less volume. When you hit it again it increases back to the exact volume you had it at...and yes even the little motorized volume knob turns too. No company I know of has ever gotten muting functionality this right, Kudos to Yamaha. Lastly, I love the Balanced XLR connections, it does in fact sound more focused and dynamic then using the unbalanced RCA's. If you dont have anything with XLR outputs get the Yamaha S1000 and save yourself $700. Source components used: Yamaha CD-S2000 SACD Player ($2500), Music Hall MMF 2.2LE Turntable ($500) Cables used: Tributaries Series 8 XLR's ($400), Audioquest Sydney Series RCA's ($170), Monster M Series Speaker Cable ($160) Pros: Fully balanced from input stage to output stage (XLR's). The remote is super simple and beyond beautiful (metal laminate from the feel of it) . Innovative muting functionality. The Interface on the unit is just awesome-exactly what you need and nothing you don't. Built in quality Phono MM / MC preamp. Ultra-wide bandwidth of this unit is perfect if you have speakers that can produce beyond the usual 20-30Khz high frequency breakup point. Cons: Cameras do not really capture just how beautiful the brushed aluminum faceplate is. Another set of XLR's would be nice but I'm not complaining.
The 70's are back! Written By SteveM, New York, NY on Thursday, April 26, 2012 I love the retro styling on these amps! Especially on the silver version. It is a throw back to the 1970's, which in my opinion, were the audio worlds best days. The amp oozes quality all over. It's very heavy. You would expect it to be very large at 50 pounds, but it isn't. It's just very dense. And at this price, you would expect it to be made in Japan. But it isn't. It's made in Malaysia. Don't let that that fool you into thinking the build quality is sub-par. Far from it. It rivals anything that can come out of Japan. It must be pure class A or at least very heavily biased into class A because it gets hot, very hot! And it's not just the top that gets hot. The faceplate gets extremely hot. Although there is a main amp in and a preamp out, you can not use them both at the same time. You can use either the main amp in, with an outboard preamp, or you can use the preamp out with a seperate amp. There is also no tape monitor loop, so you can not use an equalizer or any processor. If you use Bose 901 speakers, you are out of luck with this amp because there is no way to connect the EQ that comes with them to this amp. The amp also does not have an loudness contour knob like Yamaha does on the A-S700. This is something that could be usefull when listening to the amp at low volume. It helps to give the music a fuller sound which music lacks when the volume knob is set to a low position. I am running out of characters here so I will add more in the pros/cons sections. Pros: Build quality is first-rate. A work of art which seperates it from the typical black plastic junk that is made today. Unfortunately, I am not sure that many of the young people today can appreciate what Yamaha is trying to do here. I think the Europeans and Asians are more likely to appreciate it than Americans. High quality speaker binding posts as well as RCA inputs, Balanced XLR CD input, decent phono-stage, solid bass. Sound quality is very subjective, but there is nothing that is offensive. Cons: I gave it 3 stars for the following reasons:No tape monitor-loop, the Main amp-in /Preamp-out can not be used at the same time so a sound processor or EQ can not be used with this amp,it gets extremely hot so give it a lot of ventilation. Heat can affect the parts but I have not heard of any premature part failures on-line.I don't consider its weight a con, but some people may since stacking it on top of another component is out of the question and because of heat don't stack anything on it.

A Marine Charter to protect and revitalise the UK's ocean riches
Tom Hickey
12th November 2014
The 2009 Marine Act was meant to result in a full network of marine protected areas along the UK coast, writes Tom Hickey. But since then far too few MPAs have been created, and no real change or action has followed. Hence the launch of the Marine Charter today - to galvanise political will - and manifesto commitments - for the 2015 election. more...Badger Trust claims victory in the court of public opinion

John Woinarski
20th October 2014
Almost three quarters of Australia's landmass is 'outback', writes John Woinarski, making it one of our planet's greatest natural areas.
