Health Products Store: Chefs lead on unhealthy habits
Chefs appear to have more unhealthy habits than any other profession while those in advertising are near paragons of virtue, a survey suggests. chef cooking stir fry. This looks healthy - but what does the chef eat when he gets home? …. TheraSauna harnesses the power of infrared heat to help heal the body. As a result of exposure to infrared heat many ailments - including arthritis, migraine headaches, and acne - have shown improvements in clinical studies. … read more…

Resolved Question: Should Astronomers re-estimate how many stars are in our galaxy, taking into account small globular clusters?
100,000 undiscovered stars so close to us.

HIDDEN CLUSTERS

FSR 1735 is a globular cluster located about 30,000 ly away toward the inner region of our Galaxy. Heavy concentrations of intervening dust have obscured the visible light of background objects. Because of this, this cluster is a recent discovery. Astronomers surveyed the region in infrared light.

It is estimated to contain upwards of 100,000 stars in a space approx of 7 ly. Less than twice the distance between the sun and Proxima Centauri!
Cosmo, the current estimate has been unchanged for decades. Somewhere between 100 and 400 billion stars, not trillion.

This was calculated as I say, decades ago by carefully counting small but representative regions of stars in our galaxy and extrapolating the remainder.
That’s quite a leap from 400 billion to 3 trillion!!!

Great Answer by the way, as always.

Resolved Question: Why don’t people realize what an absolute JOKE the “stimulus” package is?
http://appropriations.house.gov/pdf/PressSummary01-15-09.pdf

The above is a government link that breaks down the stimulus package… It seems to me that at LEAST a THIRD will not directly stimulate the economy…

“Scientific Research
•
National Science Foundation: $3 billion, including $2 billion for expanding employment opportunities in fundamental science and engineering to meet environmental challenges and to improve global economic competitiveness, $400 million to build major research facilities that perform cutting edge science, $300 million for major research equipment shared by institutions of higher education and other scientists, $200 million to repair and modernize science and engineering research facilities at the nation’s institutions of higher education and other science labs, and $100 million is also included to improve instruction in science, math and engineering.
•
National Institutes of Health Biomedical Research: $2 billion, including $1.5 billion for expanding good jobs in biomedical research to study diseases such as Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s, cancer, and heart disease - NIH is currently able to fund less than 20% of approved applications – and $500 million to implement the repair and improvement strategic plan developed by the NIH for its campuses.
•
University Research Facilities: $1.5 billion for NIH to renovate university research facilities and help them compete for biomedical research grants. The National Science Foundation estimates a maintenance backlog of $3.9 billion in biological science research space. Funds are awarded competitively.
•
Centers for Disease Control and Prevention: $462 million to enable CDC to complete its Buildings and Facilities Master Plan, as well as renovations and construction needs of the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health.
•
Department of Energy: $1.9 billion for basic research into the physical sciences including high-energy physics, nuclear physics, and fusion energy sciences and improvements to DOE laboratories and scientific facilities. $400 million is for the Advanced Research Project Agency – Energy to support high-risk, high-payoff research into energy sources and energy efficiency.
•
NASA: $600 million, including $400 million to put more scientists to work doing climate change research, including Earth science research recommended by the National Academies, satellite sensors that measure solar radiation critical to understanding climate change, and a thermal infrared sensor to the Landsat Continuing Mapper necessary for water management, particularly in the western states; $150 million for research, development, and demonstration to improve aviation safety and Next Generation air traffic control (NextGen); and $50 million to repair NASA centers damaged by hurricanes and floods last year.
•
Biomedical Advanced Research and Development, Pandemic Flu, and Cyber Security: $900 million to prepare for a pandemic influenza, support advanced development of medical countermeasures for chemical, biological, radiological, and nuclear threats, and for cyber security protections at HHS.
•
National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration Satellites and Sensors: $600 million for satellite development and acquisitions, including climate sensors and climate modeling.
•
National Institute of Standards and Technology: $300 million for competitive construction grants for research science buildings at colleges, universities, and other research organizations and $100 million to coordinate research efforts of laboratories and national research facilities by setting interoperability standards for manufacturing.
•
Agricultural Research Service: $209 million for agricultural research facilities across the country. ARS has a list of deferred maintenance work at facilities of roughly $315 million.
•
U.S. Geological Survey: $200 million to repair and modernize U.S.G.S. science facilities and equipment, including improvements to laboratories, earthquake monitoring systems, and computing capacity”

The above was copy and pasted straight out of the article so you can get a glimpse of it in case you don’t want to use the link…
How exactly is funding science research gonna stimulate the economy? Or provide jobs for factory workers who got laid off??
