Officials Say Proposed FY 2011 Unified Medical Budget Meets DoD Needs
- Categorized in: May 2010
WASHINGTON, DC—DoD health officials told a House subcommittee that the president's proposed $50.7 billion for the FY 2011 budget for the Unified Medical Budget will fully fund the DoD healthcare budget.
Charles Rice, MD, who is performing the duties of the DoD assistant secretary of defense for Health Affairs, said that the FY 2011 budget request "provides realistic funding for projected healthcare requirements."
In his written testimony he also said that costs for defense healthcare have more than doubled since 2001 from $10 billion to $50.7 billion in FY 2010. TRICARE costs are expected to grow from 6% of the department's total budget in FY 2001 to more than 10% in FY 2015.
House Armed Services Military Personnel Subcommittee Chairwoman Susan Davis, D-CA, told DoD officials that she felt the budget proposed by the president for FY 2011 lacks many of the "objectionable proposals of years past." She pointed out that the budget request does not include TRICARE fee increases that have been proposed in the prior years, nor does it include proposed conversions of military medical positions to civilian medical positions.
However, she also said that there was "little if any evidence of a comprehensive, multifaceted strategy for moving the military health system forward."
Addressing Healthcare
Davis wanted to know how MHS is transforming the care it provides patients. Rice spoke about the Managed Care Support Services Contracts. The transition to new regional contracts, known as "T-3," was scheduled to be completed by April 1, 2010, but was delayed due to protests filed with the Government Accountability Office by two of the current contractors. These contracts provide managed care support services for each of the three TRICARE regions.
Rice said that discussions have already begun on what the fourth generation of these contracts will look like in order to incentivize patients to take responsibility for their health, and to make care more efficient and patient centered within DoD's direct care and the purchased care system.
Rice said that the department has adopted "The Quadruple Aim" as a foundation for its strategic plan in the coming years. The Quadruple Aim borrows from the Institute for Healthcare Improvement's "Triple Aim" and is made up of four components of focus that include readiness, population health, experience of care, and cost.
Rep Vic Snyder, D-AR, asked what the military is doing to decrease smoking among its servicemembers. Rice responded that a 2009 Institute of Medicine report examined smoking in the military and VA and made recommendations about how to address smoking. He said that DoD is evaluating that report to see which recommendations it can undertake on its own and which ones would need the assistance of Congress.
He added that one of the challenges is that tobacco products in the military exchanges are less expensive than in the civilian market. Another challenge is that servicemembers see their leaders smoking. "Basic training is already a tobacco free environment, but as soldiers, sailors, airmen, and marines transition to their first assignment they see older officers smoke, and by implication believe it is okay for them."
Subcommittee ranking Republican Rep Joe Wilson, R-SC, asked about the effectiveness of the neurocognitive screening tools that the military is using.
Army Surgeon General Lt Gen Eric Schoomaker, MD, responded that the military is emphasizing evaluating servicemembers suspected with potential brain injuries as close to the time of injury as possible.
Schoomaker said that one of the first tools the military turned to for screening brain injuries was the Automated Neurocognitive Assessment Metric (ANAM) test. That tool, however, was never designed as a screening tool, but as a tool for prospective ongoing evaluation for those with neurocognitive problems. The tool was found by the Army to be insensitive and nonspecific as a screening test. "We have turned away from using the ANAM as a simple screening tool."
Should pay-for-performance be used to improve healthcare quality at the VA?

Phyllis & Camille,
Well, we are in disagreement a bit which fosters healthy debate on such…Read Moreissu es. I honestly believe that the Selectmen are attempting a business friendly approach to small business people. They pay higher taxes and receive little, or no town services to speak of. In my opinion, any consideration to businesses is long overdue and sound decision.
With regards towards dictating a particular paint color upon a private property? Without the benefit of a tested standing town bylaw in place the town employee was correct, it is illegal... to say the least. After all, the last time I checked the stars & stripes still waves in front of our homes in town.
And yes, I was against the 18th Amendment in a previous life around 1920. (Constitutional Amendment that created Prohibition.) Just a bit of humor about the law of the land!
Nice discussion. If I have time I might stop in the meeting myself. Enjoy the rest of the holiday weekend. Paul Maisano

Paul, I think that the town can be more business friendly by offering a commercial tax cut (maybe…Read Morefu nded by some of the new growth from Wincrest, the Assisted living center, etc) instead of resorting to having a packy on every corner of town. The big picture needs to be evaluated here, and it seems to me the potential downside to the community in granting this license outweighs any upside.
Paul John Maisano
December 02, 2013 at 07:54 AM
Angelo, Thanks for reminding me> Having been out of local politics for nearly 20 years there is…Read Morea mechanism, that is if still in place, called the 'dual tax rate'. This enables a community the option to establish two different real estate tax rates. Traditionally, the commercial tax rate is higher by 10 -25%, than that of the residential rate. When attempting to cultivate a superior business environment this tool used by the Board of Assessors which may assist in the cultivation of stronger business sector. Unfortunately, I believe Stoneham has a very, very small, (less than 5%), business community. However, any effort supporting local merchants would be welcomed.
With regards to fostering an atmosphere of the availability to purchase beer & wine. My thoughts never endorsed full package stores on every corner. In fact, within the MA State liquor licensing statutes all communities must adhere to strict limitations. An example is the number of permits based on the gross city/town population, and minimum distance from educational facilities, etc. This alleviates the potential problem you justifiably posted.
I would recommend you attend the meeting you raise valid points towards the community discussion of so many issues. I am certain the Board of Selectmen welcome such commentary to assist them during the decision making process. Hope your well....nice hearing from you! Regards Paul Maisano

Why Every Small Business Needs an iPad
NEW YORK ( MainStreet) -- Running a small business through a tablet or smartphone is quickly becoming the norm for savvy business owners. While some may have originally bought the gadgets simply for the "cool factor," users say the productivity and efficiency from the many apps available has been a welcome surprise.
For small-business owners reluctant to use tablets and smartphones for tasks simple and complex, now -- with the imminent release of the Apple(AAPL) iPad 3 -- may be the time to get aboard. (Apple is expected to announce the new version Wednesday.)
Small-business owners reluctant to use tablets and smartphones and their accompanying apps may find that now may be the time to get aboard. |
It's clear the iPad and exploding app marketplace are useful small-business tools, says Mike Pugh, vice president of marketing at j2 Global (JCOM) . The company provides cloud-based services and tools, including mobile apps, so businesses can work more efficiently whether in an office or mobile.
We spoke with Pugh about best practices for the adoption of mobile technology as full-time business instruments:
Why should business owners embrace mobile technology?
Pugh: To be able to do more business.
One of the benefits is the battery life. Many of us use computers and have been stuck in meetings where our batteries drop off. The iPad was the first nonphone to keep with them all day long knowing it would not drop off on them. And if you're going to rely upon a business tool it has to be there when you need it in order to be truly mobile.
Being able to do what you want to do anywhere, anytime has value you can't envision until you do it.
What about the learning curve for less tech-savvy people?
Pugh: The user interface design of these new devices and the time that's put into making the app very usable bridges that gap, whether it be swiping a credit card or remotely accessing a PC or a camera to take a document and fax it.
What are some good uses of mobile technology for small businesses?
Pugh: Credit card processing off a mobile device is a great way to be able to do business in a variety of different settings.
Using the camera in the device to be able to do both taking pictures and video. For someone who has remote offices, video conferencing can be a fantastic way to maintain contact with customers or employees.

VA Research Proves Cognitive Behavioral Therapy Helpful in Treating PTSD
- Categorized in: November 2009
WASHINGTON, DC—It can take upwards of 15 or 20 years to develop an evidence-based therapy, clinically prove its effectiveness, and then disseminate pertinent information across the population of patients that need it. When that population involves the Department of Veterans Affairs health care system, which serves four million veterans throughout hundreds of facilities, it might be expected that dissemination of information could take much longer. However, in the two years since VA researchers proved the clinical effectiveness of cognitive behavioral therapies for post-traumatic stress disorder—cognitive processing therapy and prolonged exposure therapy—hundreds of VA health care professionals have been trained in the treatments and VA asserts that both are available throughout their entire system.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy
Both cognitive process therapy and prolonged exposure therapy involve exposing the veteran to memories, dialogue, and introspection about the traumatic event that triggered their PTSD in a safe, clinical setting.
Prolonged exposure therapy utilizes techniques to promote confrontation with feared objects, situations, memories, and images. It involves use of psycho education, breathing retraining, prolonged exposure to the memory of the trauma through imaginary reliving, and repeated exposure to safe situations the patient is avoiding because of traumatic fear. Cognitive process therapy involves psychoeducation; written exposure in which patients write about the impact of trauma on themselves and others, and interpret traumatic events. This approach challenges the patient's interpretations of traumatic events and provides an opportunity for cognitive restructuring of their beliefs that have been disrupted by traumatic events.
Research into both treatment techniques for PTSD was led by VA physician-researchers. Dr Patricia Resick, head of the Women's Division of the National Center for PTSD in Boston, helped develop cognitive process therapy. The leading researcher in prolonged exposure therapy was Dr Edna Foa, who helps train VA mental health professionals.
Both therapies fall under the category of cognitive-behavioral therapy, which has been tested and proven successful for years in civilian PTSD populations, reducing symptoms by 60% to 80%. The degree of success drops somewhat in veterans with chronic, combat-related PTSD, but the evidence of treatment effects is greater with CBT than any other treatment. Other treatments being tested include various forms of pharmacotherapy, group therapy, marital and family therapy, social rehabilitative therapy, and various creative therapies. In 2007, the Institute of Medicine combed through the medical literature and evaluated 90 studies on PTSD treatment techniques. A report released near the end of that year found that exposure-based therapies were the only treatments solidly backed by evidence.
Amassing Human Resources
Also in 2007, VA began training its physicians in cognitive process therapy. The following year, they developed a similar training program for prolonged exposure therapy, with the goal being that all veterans who could benefit from the treatment have access to trained providers. Doctor Antoinette Zeiss, VA's Deputy Chief of Mental Health Services, has helped oversee that effort and reports unmitigated success. "Both of those trainings are built around a similar model. Start with a very intensive weekend didactic—a workshop that combines experiential and didactic training," Dr Zeiss told U.S. Medicine last month. "What is special about this is that people are also linked to consultants. So that when they go back to their VA facility, they pick up cases and they're guided in a consultative manner through the delivery of this new approach."
New trainees are required to work with these consultants on at least two cases before they are considered able to provide the treatment independently. More than two cases are recommended for those who are struggling with how to effectively deliver the therapy. "We started with that model—sort of a bootstrap model in some ways—and as more and more people around the country get trained, we can have trainers who have been trained and are spread out around the country," explained Dr Zeiss. VA currently has around 2,900 staff trained in one or the other therapies. While they do not certify therapists, they do keep a roster of who has been trained and has reached the criterion to be able to administer the treatments effectively.
Changing the System, Culture
Recently VA has placed a local, evidence-based psychotherapy coordinator in every VA health care facility that offers CBT treatment. The role of the coordinator is to work with therapists that have gone through the training to ensure that any necessary resources are available to providers on a local level. "They also work with management to make sure clinical schedules are set up appropriately, that management understands why it's so important these therapies be delivered and that there is support at the local level for the therapies," Dr Zeiss explained.
Once the staff is trained, VA's next priority is whether each facility is set up to properly deliver the treatment. CBT therapies are time consuming, both for the provider and for the patient. They involve weekly appointments of up to 90 minutes for however many weeks it takes to deliver a full course of therapy. "How do you make sure the treatment rooms are available; that people's schedules are set up so that this can be done; and that they don't get pulled to meet other clinical needs?" Dr Zeiss asked. "At this point, all facilities should have sufficient resources."
However, the barrier is not always a lack of physical resources. The culture of a facility may be an obstacle if it has become used to providing a different form of therapy. "For instance, a facility that might have gotten into a model of doing all group psychotherapy, to rethinking to ensure that they plan how they use their resources differently, so they can support the required delivery of the individual evidence-based psychotherapy," Dr Zeiss said. Part of the job of the local coordinator is to help facilities go through that culture shift.
Coordinators also act as part of VA's overall evaluation effort, speaking regularly with VA's Central Office and collecting information on treatment success. While no formal data on treatment effectiveness has been collected, some sites have amassed significant samples. Doctor Zeiss is optimistic about this preliminary data, saying, "people really are doing a good job of delivering this care once they've been fully trained and these are treatments that potentially could be quite helpful to veterans."
Therapy for All Who Need It
VA has made it mandatory that these evidence-based therapies be available to all veterans who might benefit from them—those that have a diagnosis of PTSD and are interested in participating. Doctor Zeiss stressed that VA would never force the therapy on any patient, and that psychotherapy does not work unless the patient is fully invested. "Sometimes people need to have some supportive therapy. They need to develop trust, and to know that VA really is going to take care of them. And they need to develop other skills before they're ready to fully participate in these evidence-based psychotherapies," she explained. The intense and sensitive nature of the treatment requires trained and confident providers to help guide the patient. There is a fine line between therapeutic exposure and re-traumatizing a patient.
According to Dr Zeiss, VA only has around a 10% vacancy rate in its mental health positions—a number not inconsistent with a large health care provider—and that trouble the department had filling mental health slots several years ago is now in the past. Rural areas, however, remain a difficult area for specialized care—a problem not limited to VA facilities.
For those patients who live far away from a VAmedical facility that offers the treatment, VAcan provide the therapies through telehealth services. That is, patients videoconferencing with providers in another facility. Doctor Zeiss admits that evidence-based research on the effectiveness of providing the therapies using telehealth techniques does not yet exist, "but we've tried it out and it's been working nicely." In cases where telehealth services are provided, a member of the local staff needs to be available for the patient. This person is, "not necessarily someone trained in the therapy, but if it's a difficult session, the person needs to be able to sit with someone and have some support before they head out to face the day," Dr Zeiss explained.
Future Research
The success of the two therapies in question does not mean that evaluation has ceased on other therapies. Doctor Zeiss noted that more research is definitely needed in the field of pharmacological therapy. In 2007, VA researchers proved prazosin was effective in alleviating the nightmares of PTSD patients. Further studies are examining the drug's effectiveness on overall PTSD symptoms.
Comorbidity of PTSD with traumatic brain injury and other cognitive impairments is another example of an area where more research is needed. "We've adapted psychotherapies to older adults with some cognitive impairment [they] are quite effective," Dr Zeiss explained. The adaptive versions accommodate memory impairments, changes in information processing, attention and other aspects of cognitive impairment. VA could use this data to develop a CBT model for treating older veterans suffering from similar comorbidities. "We've love to see research in using these adaptations in veterans with both TBI and PTSD," Dr Zeiss declared. "It's a logical clinical place to start and would be a great research topic."

While writing my Fanpost about Groupie Doll last night, I struggled over whether to include Orb as an example of a horse retired too early. I considered it because I was coming from the perspective of keeping newer fans engaged in the sport -- and who better to keep newer fans engaged than a Derby winner? I opted against it, however, because there were so many outstanding questions about the circumstances of Orb's retirement, especially in light of his disappointing Jockey Club Gold Cup performance.

"Once the issue was detected, the sensing equipment operated as designed and opened a breaker, causing power to be partially cut to the Superdome in order to isolate the issue," the statement said.
It still isn't clear what the "abnormality" was -- but more than a few people had their own suspicions.
A majority on social media blamed it on the fans of the 49ers, who were trailing 28-to-6 in the third quarter before the blackout.
Photos began quickly showing up on Flickr, Twitter and Facebook of the so-called hands of a 49ers' fan reaching into electrical power box to turn off the power, with the words: "They not winning that easy."
Conspiracy, cried a Ravens fan on Facebook. "If the 49ers win after this, you all know who's to blame."
Even Justin Timberlake had something to say about it, tweeting #momentumshift.
There may be something to it.
After the power was restored, the 49ers scored three times in just four minutes.
Then again, maybe not.
"Whatever. Who hasn't blacked out in New Orleans," one person said on Twitter.
Or in San Francisco, for that matter.
In December 2011, the lights went out twice during the same game at Candlestick Park. The 49ers won that game against the Pittsburgh Steelers, 20-3.
Blame it on Bane
Some said it was the curse of the Superdome -- despite hosting seven Super Bowl games and its more than $300 million renovation following Hurricane Katrina. The stadium was built near a cemetery and New Orleans Saints fans have long said it was the reason the team had fared so poorly.
Some on Twitter and Facebook joked Saints quarterback Drew Brees was responsible, pulling the power plug to get even for the team failing to make football's big show.
Then there were those who pointed to Bane, the villain in the Batman movie "The Dark Night Rises."
In the movie, Bane mines a football field in Pittsburgh that explodes after a great scoring run by Steeler Hines Ward.
"Investigation confirms not even Bane's power outage attempt can save the 49ers," said one Twitter user with the handle The Batman.
Beyonce's wattage
The general consensus on social media appeared to be that Beyonce's high-wattage half-time performance was mostly likely to blame for the blackout.

The Illegals Are Canvassing
Out in Washington State, illegal aliens are canvassing for Patti Murray. That's right — they are going door to door encouraging people to go vote and vote for Patti Murray. It is not illegal for illegals to go canvassing, other than the part about them being illegal in the first place. But it is rather indicative of the stark differences between Rossi and Murray on | Read More »

I agree with Tommy that Keewanaw has some good beers. The pick axe blonde ale is awesome
Also quickly moving up my list of favorite Michigan breweries is North peak in traverse city. The diabolical ipa is very good
Staring at my countdown clock and bulletin board material for motivation
My father-in-law does majority of the actual brewing right now, he's retired and I've got 3 kids under the age of 5, but it's my equipment and I help come up with recipes. I used to brew about 5-6 years ago and he decided to grow hops a couple of years ago, so I gave him the stuff and he's sort of gone crazy with it and now I'm getting back into it with him. I was just clearing a area in the yard this past weekend to grow my own hops actually.

Really? I don't see it at all. I am a big fan of JP, but will likely never buy North Peak again.
I might save 1, just for the hell of it. The story behind it was cool, too bad they got pressured into changing it.Quote Originally Posted by tommyz View Post

Everything I have had there so far has been fantastic..Ive had pulled pork, brisket, fried catfish, mac n cheese, collard greens (yummy), burnt ends..Their coleslaw is only ok though...have a great selection of Michigan craft beers...Also, their sauces are pretty good...

U2 drummer Larry Mullen: Next time you see a rich man, thank him!
The Wolfhound, as a certified (don't say it!) member of the press, loves it when some rich fekkin' dolt puts his foot in his mouth. But it's even more pathetic when the fekkin' dolt sticks his foot in his arse first, THEN puts it in his mouth.
Meet U2 drummer Larry Mullen, a man long since eclipsed in the musical phenomenon that is U2 by the one-and-only Bono. Yes, Mullen still has the great gift of being able to hit a canvas-covered circular box with a stick, sometimes even in harmony with the music being played at the time, but he's just a blurry shape in Bono's shadow these days. He's sort of a man on the band's dole, and with a paycheck just about the only thing in his "life," it means a lot to him.
But, as is often the case when a fading star or non-celebrity (Larry, meet Paris Hilton!) realizes that he is no longer part of the A-team and is headed for a career in game shows, he is hit with a heavenly light, and hears the voice from above: "Larry! Say something really stupid!"
You won't be disappointed. Surely, not as much as he will be very shortly.
Amid the biggest global meltdown since the Great Depression, with millions out of work, out of their homes, out of food and out of hope, what is the top concern for this almost-has-been? That rich and successful people (like him) "are unnecessarily humiliated when coming in and out of Ireland," describing this to The Independent as "part of a new resentment of rich people in this country."
Well, when the foot's in, it stays in! And away he goes: "We have experienced [a situation] where coming in and out of the country at certain times is made more difficult than it should be — not only for us, but for a lot of wealthy people," he fretted. "The better-off are being sort of humiliated."
Yes, the man has made quite a point off the top of his head. Wolfie — as a student of history — is well-aware of the kind of ignominious treatment received by the incredibly wealthy. Often, their private jets are forced to wait while some slow clunker of a propeller plane lifts off with a heart transplant or something. Their Rolls-Royces and Bentleys are often held up in traffic because of the congestion caused by people pointlessly driving around to answer a help-wanted ad.
Where, oh where, Larry must wonder, is the special treatment he and his super-rich friends deserve for all they have done — and done for us?
"You see guys ... bringing a huge amount of money into this country, and they do not deserve to be humiliated," the former musician declared. Mullen especially praised developers — whose acumen at raising the Irish standard of living speaks for itself — for their charity work and for all they have done for the country.
"All those rich wives, all those rich guys with all those balls (Not sure what Larry means here about these guys and their balls, but let's keep the tape rolling...), all those women that you see organizing this and organizing that, without them we'd be in a very, very different state than we are now."

Scale of earth, sun, galaxy and universe
Scale of the galaxy Scale of the Galaxy
⇐ Use this menu to view and help create subtitles for this video in many different languages.
You'll probably want to hide YouTube's captions if using these subtitles.
- In the last video I hinted that things were about to get wacky,
- and they are! So if we start where we left off in the last video,
- we started right over here, looking at the distance
- to the nearest star and, just a reminder
- in this drawing right here this depiction right here this circle right here
- this solar system circle, its not the size of the sun, its not the size
- of the orbits of the Earth or Pluto or the Kuiper belt this is close
- to the size of the Oort cloud. The actual orbit of earth is
- about one, well the diameter of the orbit of earth is about one
- fifty thousandth of this so you wouldn't even see it on this. it wouldn't even make
- up a pixel on this screen right here, much less the actual size
- of the sun or something much smaller.
- And just remember that orbit of the earth that was at a huge distance. It takes
- 8 mins for light to get from the sun to the earth. It's a super long distance.
- If you shot a bullet at the sun from earth, it would take you 17 years to get to the sun.
- So this huge distance wouldnt even show up on this picture.
- Now what we saw in the last video is that if you travel at unimaginably fast speeds,
- if you travel at 60,000 km/h, and I picked that speed 'cause that's how fast
- Voyager 1 actually is travelling
- that's one of the fastest, I think one of the fastest objects we have
- out there in space, right here, and is actually kind of leaving the solar system
- as we speak. But even if you were able to get that fast,
- it would still take 80,000 years, 75 or 80,000 years to travel the
- 4.2 light years to the Alpha Centauri cluster of stars. To the nearest star,
- it would take 80,000 years, 80,000 years.
- And that scale of time is already an amount of time I have trouble comprehending
- You can imagine all of modern civilization has occured definitely in the last 10,000 yrs
- but most of recorded history is in the last 4 or 5000 years.
- So this is 80,000 years to travel to the nearest star.
- So its a huge distance.
- Another way to think about it, is that if the sun
- were the size of a basketball and you put that basketball in London,
- if you wanted to do it in scale, the next closest star which is actually a smaller
- basketball right over here, Proxima Centauri, that smaller basketball you'd have to put
- in Kiev, Ukraine. in order to have a similiar scale.
- So these are basketballs, sitting in these cities and you would have
- to travel about 1200 miles
- to place the next basketball. and these basketballs are representing these super huge things
- that we saw in the first video, the Sun. If you actually made the earth
- relative to these basketballs, these would be little grains of sand
- so if there are any little small planets over here they would have to be grains
- of sand in Kiev, Ukraine versus the grain of sand in London.
- So this is a massive, massive distance. Already, at least in my mind, unimaginable. And when it gets
- really whacky is when you start realising that this, even this, is a super
- super small distance relative to the galactic scale.
- So this whole depiction of kind of our neighborhood of stars this thing over here
- is about, give or take, and we're doing rough estimates right here
- its about 30 light years. I'll just do LY for short. So thats abt 30 LY
- Now and once again you cannot actually, you can take pictures of our galaxy
- from our point of view but you actually can't take a picture of the whole galaxy from above it.
- So these are going to be artist depictions, but if this is 30 LY
- This drawing right here of kind of our local neighborhood of the galxy
- this right here is roughly, these are all approximations, this is about
- let me do this in a darker color, this about 1 thousand LY
- and this is the 1000 LY of our suns neighborhood if you can even call it a neighborhood
- even this isn't really a neighborhoood if it takes you 80,000 yrs to get to your nearest neighbor
- but this whole drawing over here it would take forever to get anywhere over here
- it would be 1/30th of this so it would be about that big
- this whole drawing and what's really going to blow your mind is
- this would be roughly a little bit more than a pixel on this drawing right here
- that spans a 1000 LY but then when you start to really put it into
- perspective so new lets zoom out a little bit. So this drawing right here
- this 1000 LY is now this 1000 LY over here. so this is our local vicinity of the sun
- and once again the word local is used in a very liberal way
- at this point
- so this right here is a 1000 ly
- if your sitting here and your looking at an object that is sitting (let me do this in a darker color)
- if we're sitting here on earth and we're looking at an object sitting here
- that's 500 LY away we're looking at it as it was 500 years ago
- becasue the light that is reaching our eyeballs right now or our telescopes
- right now left this guy over here 500 yrs ago. in fact he's not even going to be there anymore
- he'll probably have moved around a little bit. So just even on this scale, we're alredy
- talking abt these unimaginably huge distances and then when we zoom out
- this is kind of like our local part of the galaxy over here. This piece right here
- this is called the Orion Spur and people are still trying to work out
- exactly what the actual details of the actual shape of the milky way galaxy is
- the galaxy that we're in but we're pretty sure we have these spiral arms
- and we have these spurs off of them, but its actually very hard to come up with the actual shape
- especally because you can't see a lot of the galaxy because it's kinda on the other side,
- on the other side of the centre
- but really just to get a sense, I mean at least it blows my mind if you really
- think about what it saying these unbeleivable distances show up as a lil dot here
- this whole drawing shows up as a dot here. now when we zoom out over here
- that dot would no longer even show up
- it wouldn't even register a pixel on this drawing right over here
- and then this drawing this whole thing right over here
- this whole pic is this grid is this grid right over here it is this right over here
- so hopefully that gives you a sense of how small even our local neighborhood
- is relative to THE galaxy as a whole
- the galaxy as a whole just to give you a sense has 200,
- 200-400 billion stars
- or maybe i should say solar systems just to give you a sense that you know
- when we saw the solar system its not just the sun
- its all this neat dynamic stuff in there, planets and asteroids
- and solar winds and so there's 200 to 400 billion stars
- and for the most part 200 to 400 billion solar systems so its and
- unimaginably complex or huge place
- and just to make it clear you know even when we zoom into this pic right here
- and i think its obvious based on this that these lil white pockets right here
- these aren't this isn't one star this isn't two stars these are thousands of stars
- here so when you go over here
- each little blotch of white that you see that's not a star that's not a thousand stars
- we're starting to talk in the millions of stars when you look at certain blotches here and there
- i mean it maybe one star that closer to you or it might be a million
- stars that are far apart and that are just relatively close
- together and eveything has to be used in kind of
- loose terms here. And we'll talk more about other galaxies
- but even this isn't the upper bound of galaxies
- people believe the Andromeda Galaxy has a trillion stars in it
- a trillion sources and we're talking about these huge
- huge immense distances and so just to give you a sense
- of where we fit in the picture this is a rough location of our sun
- and remember that lil dot i drew just now
- is including millions of stars, millions of solar systems
- already unimaginable distances but if you really wanna get the sense
- relative to the whole galaxy, this is an artist's depiction
- once again we could never obviously get this perspective on the galaxy
- it would take forever to travel this far
- so that you could see the galaxy from above but this is our best guess
- looking at things from our vantage point we actually could never even see
- we actually can't even see this whole area over here
- 'cause it's on the other side of the centre of the galaxy which is super super
- dense and super bright and so its very hard to see things on the other side
- we think or actually there's a super massive black hole at the centre of the galaxy
- and we think that they're at the centre of all or most galaxies
- but you know the whole pint of this video or actually this whole series of videos
- is just to put you in awe a lil bit of just how huge this is
- 'cause when you think about the scales it's just, i dunno no, words can reallly describe it
- but just to give you sense we're about 25000LY from the centre of
- the galaxy so even when we look at things at the centre of the galaxy that's how they
- were 25000 yrs ago
- it took 25000 yrs for that light to get to us, I mean when that light left the centre
- of the galaxy I won't even guess to think what
- humanity was like at that point in time
- so its these huge distances and the whole galaxy of here
- and like solar systems its hard to say the edge of the galaxy
- 'cause there's always gonna be a few more stars and other things orbiting
- around the galaxy as you go further and further out but the main
- density the main disc is about 100,000LY
- is the diameter roughly of the main part of the galaxy and it's about a 1000 LY thick
- so you kind of imagine it as a disc its fairly flat
- but its a 1000 LY thick! It's a 1000 LY thick you would have to do this distance
- 250 times just to go from the top part of the galaxy to the bottom part
- much less going across the galxy
- so it might sem relatively flat but it's still immensely
- immensely thick. and just as another way to visualise it
- if this thing right over here that includes the Oort cloud
- roughly a LY in diameter it is a grain of sand
- a mm in diameter grain of sand
- then the universe as a whole is gonna be the diameter of a football field
- and those are two tractable things, i can imagine a grain of sand
- a mm wide grain of sand in a football field. but remember that's a grain sand
- that grain of sand is still 50 or 60, 000 times the diameter of the Earth's orbit
- and it would still take a bullet or something travelling as fast as a jet plane
- 15 hrs to just go half of that or sorry 15 yrs or 17 yrs I forgot
- the exact number but you knpw 15, 16 , 17 yrs to even cover half of that distance
- 30 yrs to cover an entire diamtere, so 30 yrs to cover the entire diameter
- of earths orbit tahts one 60,000th of our lil grain of sand in the football field
- and just to kind of really i dunno have an appreciation for how amaz- i dunno how mind blowing this
- really is , this is a picture of the milky way galaxy, our galaxy
- from our vantage point as you can see we're in the galaxy so we're
- seeing and this is looking towards the centre and
- even this picture you start to appreciate the complexity of what a 100
- billion stars are but what i really wanna point out is that even in this pic
- when yu're looking at some of these things that are like stars
- those arent stars! those are thousands of stars or millions of stars
- maybe it could be one star closer up but when we're startin
- to approach the centre of the galaxy these are thousands
- and thousands and millions of stars or solar systems
- that we're actually looking at so its really, it starts to

I need to replace the current computer speakers I have. I either want a 2.1 set or a good pair of headphones. I just use the computer for games, so what are some good headphones/speakers and which would be better for gaming? I would like to keep it under $100 U.S (but the cheaper the better as long as quality isn't lost )
Sennheiser HD series for headphones... For speakers under $100 I would say anything Creative or Logitech, as long as its above the $50 range because below that they both make pretty much junk in my experience.
Logitech makes some good hardware. 5 over ur budget tho. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16836121122
I've been impressed w/ the $50 Cyber Acousics I bought a couple years back. Very good speakers for the money imo.
Well what's your situation? If you have to be quiet then headphones are an obvious choice. But if you can crank speakers they'll typically offer better range of sound, particularly the low frequencies of a sub, which are critical to gaming and movies imo.
Well I've thought about it and I think speakers would be the better option for me. I don't have to be quiet (although my parents might get mad if I crank em up really high )
May I ask why you want 2.1 over 5.1? I paid £78 for a set of Creative 2.1s that broke (3 times I had them replaced) then went out and bought a set of Logitech X540s for £56 that sound much better and have surround.
I would go for the logitech Z2300s as suggested earlier. They are better than the Razer makos iirc and would be better than headphones imo. Headphones might have better sound quality but actual speakers are much better overall, especially the bass. The logitechs are very good speakers and the subwoofer especially is awesome, nice and tight and goes pretty deep. I would highly recommend them! Edit: OK I think I was confusing the mako's with something else lol! The Makos are better but are also $400...
i know its a bit over but very good 2.1 setup and i have the same ones and im very happy http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16836121122
Z-2300's are a good speaker choice, if you're looking at headphones still, sennheisers are great - like my HD555's
i've had mine since around the year 2000, and i've taken them through 4 countries. still working to this day. (Australia, london, tokyo, LA (airport) and new york.)
I use these http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16826158051 Great set of gaming headphones...good for music also. These are good also http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16826106392
Yea those are pretty good http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16836121122&Tpk=logitech z 2300
If your a gamer headphones are a must....You can hear detail like footsteps so much better with them.
keep creative in mind it gives you great performance with good price http://us.creative.com/products/product.asp?category=4&subcategory=464&product=15773 for 49.99$. I have Inspire 2500 and it's very good so Inspire T3100 gonna be much better.
The z2300s are definitely worth the extra over the creatives you mentioned, give the logitechs a listen seriously you will be amazed, especially compared to creative inspires!
