Mental Health Summit - VA News
For 30 years, a Veteran—I’ll call him Steve—struggled with complications stemming from PTSD related to his military service. Thirty years. He tried VA years ago, but he didn’t have a positive experience. So Steve tried a number of different providers over the years, different medications, and different extended hospital stays. But one fateful day, in a moment of crisis, Steve’s minister encouraged him to give VA another chance. And what happened next changed everything. His VA doctor listened. The doctor began to build a bond of trust. And Steve opened up. He accepted help. For the next six months, Steve worked through an innovative care program. He received evidence-based suicide prevention therapy—therapy tailored to his personal needs—all via telehealth and in the comfort of his own home.
A few weeks ago, Steve sent a note to his local VA leadership. Here’s some of what Steve wrote.
“For the first time in over 30 years, my suicidal thoughts have totally decreased. After wishing to be dead for so long, I never thought my life could be lived without those thoughts. It’s been two months now, and I can’t believe how free I feel.
I use the skills I learned every day. And it feels good. No … it feels awesome.”
Now, let me stop there for a second. Veterans were trained to put a mission or others before themselves. That can sometimes make it harder for them to accept or ask for help. We need to reach Vets like Steve and bring them into our care, because Vets in VA care do better. And that’s where you can really make a difference. It’s one thing for a Veteran to hear about VA services from us. It’s an entirely different thing for them to hear about VA services from you. Because you are the people in Veterans’ lives and communities every day. You pray with them, break bread with them, work with them, and spend time with them. You are the people they know and love. You are the people they trust.

Bureau of Narcotic Enforcement
Mainstreaming Addiction Treatment Act
Updated January 2023
The Mainstreaming Addiction Treatment (MAT) Act was signed into federal law and became effective on December 29, 2022. Important changes resulting from the MAT Act include the:

Elimination of the requirement for a special registration through the federal Drug Enforcement Administration (commonly referred to as an X-waiver) to prescribe or dispense buprenorphine for the treatment of opioid use disorder (OUD).
Elimination of the limitations on the number of patients a practitioner was permitted to treat with buprenorphine for OUD.

A practitioner holding a standard DEA registration may now prescribe buprenorphine for the treatment of OUD, without limitation to the number of patients. Nothing in 10 NYCRR §80.84 should be interpreted to contradict these changes.

Letter from the NYS Commissioner of Health to practitioners and pharmacists regarding the Mainstreaming Addiction Treatment Act (PDF)

2024 Public Comments to Preliminary Applications
This does not seem appropriate for your proposed contractor to be having public meetings while the grant is under public comment. Whereas the trail needs improvements I feel you have not fully vetted the project with the public and private property owners, regarding design and the public’s rights. My understanding was that there was going to be a record of decision and did not require a full NEPA document. But I have not seen it. I do not know the details as to how a nonprofit will install a road. From the video the President of RTF states that the Forest Service came to them and said we build dirt roads if you want to build a 4-wheel drive trail you can do it? Seems strange. Sincerely, Vickie Sanders, Retired El Dorado County Parks Manager Project Description: This project had a previous grant for planning with El Dorado County that was not fulfilled. El Dorado County did their best to work with the Forest Service on an agreement. There was once an agreement in place for the Forest Service to do the work and the County to reimburse about $25,000. But this did not happen, and the grant was returned without an expense and unfulfilled. It was never provided to El Dorado County as requested. This was the first piece of the planning process. Where is the environmental document for this project? Where is it documented that the RS2477 will be maintained for the bypasses that will be re-routed around? These areas should not be abandoned or closed. There can be alternates but the original trail should remain. The public should give up no rights to the original trail. If the environmental document is complete where is the trail design? A bypass was installed a few years ago around a wet area that had no design or plan, and it did not hold up. So where is the construction documented for these bypasses. If there is a bottomless arch proposed there must be a design. Why is it not included with a map of the proposed bypasses? In the project description it stated that “the Rubicon Trail evolved through historical use, the route was never designed or engineered to accommodate the thousands of modern off-highway and four-wheel drive vehicles that traverse the trail annually.

Catalog of Earth Satellite Orbits
There are essentially three types of Earth orbits: high Earth orbit, medium Earth orbit, and low Earth orbit. Many weather and some communications satellites tend to have a high Earth orbit, farthest away from the surface. Satellites that orbit in a medium (mid) Earth orbit include navigation and specialty satellites, designed to monitor a particular region. Most scientific satellites, including NASA’s Earth Observing System fleet, have a low Earth orbit.

One way of classifying orbits is by altitude. Low Earth orbit starts just above the top of the atmosphere, while high Earth orbit begins about one tenth of the way to the moon. (NASA illustration by Robert Simmon)

The height of the orbit, or distance between the satellite and Earth’s surface, determines how quickly the satellite moves around the Earth. An Earth-orbiting satellite’s motion is mostly controlled by Earth’s gravity. As satellites get closer to Earth, the pull of gravity gets stronger, and the satellite moves more quickly. NASA’s Aqua satellite, for example, requires about 99 minutes to orbit the Earth at about 705 kilometers up, while a weather satellite about 36,000 kilometers from Earth’s surface takes 23 hours, 56 minutes, and 4 seconds to complete an orbit. At 384,403 kilometers from the center of the Earth, the Moon completes a single orbit in 28 days.

The higher a satellite’s orbit, the slower it moves. Certain orbital altitudes have special properties, like a geosynchronous orbit, in which a satellite travels around the Earth exactly once each day. The length of each red arrow in this diagram represents the distance traveled by a satellite in an hour. View animation. (NASA illustration by Robert Simmon.)

Changing a satellite’s height will also change its orbital speed. This introduces a strange paradox. If a satellite operator wants to increase the satellite’s orbital speed, he can’t simply fire the thrusters to accelerate the satellite. Doing so would boost the orbit (increase the altitude), which would slow the orbital speed. Instead, he must fire the thrusters in a direction opposite to the satellite’s forward motion, an action that on the ground would slow a moving vehicle.

If a satellite operator wants to increase the satellite’s orbital speed, he can’t simply fire the thrusters to accelerate the satellite. Doing so would boost the orbit (increase the altitude), which would slow the orbital speed. Instead, he must fire the thrusters in a direction opposite to the satellite’s forward motion, an action that on the ground would slow a moving vehicle. This change will push the satellite into a lower orbit, which will increase its forward velocity.
In addition to height, eccentricity and inclination also shape a satellite’s orbit. Eccentricity refers to the shape of the orbit. A satellite with a low eccentricity orbit moves in a near circle around the Earth. An eccentric orbit is elliptical, with the satellite’s distance from Earth changing depending on where it is in its orbit.

The eccentricity (e)
 of an orbit indicates the deviation of the orbit from a perfect circle. A circular orbit has an eccentricity of 0, while a highly eccentric orbit is closer to (but always less than) 1. A satellite in an eccentric orbit moves around one of the ellipse’s focal points, not the center. (NASA illustration by Robert Simmon.)

Inclination is the angle of the orbit in relation to Earth’s equator. A satellite that orbits directly above the equator has zero inclination. If a satellite orbits from the north pole (geographic, not magnetic) to the south pole, its inclination is 90 degrees.

Orbital inclination is the angle between the plane of an orbit and the equator. An orbital inclination of 0° is directly above the equator, 90° crosses right above the pole, and 180° orbits above the equator in the opposite direction of Earth’s spin. (NASA illustration by Robert Simmon.)

Together, the satellite’s height, eccentricity, and inclination determine the satellite’s path and what view it will have of Earth.

Three Classes of Orbit
High Earth Orbit
Catalog of Earth Satellite Orbits
A satellite at this height takes 12 hours to complete an orbit. As the satellite moves, the Earth rotates underneath it. In 24-hours, the satellite crosses over the same two spots on the equator every day. This orbit is consistent and highly predictable. It is the orbit used by the Global Positioning System (GPS) satellites.

The second common medium Earth orbit is the Molniya orbit. Invented by the Russians, the Molniya orbit works well for observing high latitudes. A geostationary orbit is valuable for the constant view it provides, but satellites in a geostationary orbit are parked over the equator, so they don’t work well for far northern or southern locations, which are always on the edge of view for a geostationary satellite. The Molniya orbit offers a useful alternative.

The Molniya orbit combines high inclination (63.4°) with high eccentricity (0.722) to maximize viewing time over high latitudes. Each orbit lasts 12 hours, so the slow, high-altitude portion of the orbit repeats over the same location every day and night. Russian communications satellites and the Sirius radio satellites currently use this type of orbit. (Adapted from Fundamentals of Space Systems by Vincent L. Pisacane, 2005.)

The Molniya orbit is highly eccentric: the satellite moves in an extreme ellipse with the Earth close to one edge. Because it is accelerated by our planet’s gravity, the satellite moves very quickly when it is close to the Earth. As it moves away, its speed slows, so it spends more time at the top of its orbit farthest from the Earth. A satellite in a Molniya orbit takes 12 hours to complete its orbit, but it spends about two-thirds of that time over one hemisphere. Like a semi-synchronous orbit, a satellite in the Molniya orbit passes over the same path every 24 hours. This type of orbit is useful for communications in the far north or south.
Low Earth Orbit
Most scientific satellites and many weather satellites are in a nearly circular, low Earth orbit. The satellite’s inclination depends on what the satellite was launched to monitor.

Medium Earth Orbit
Closer to the Earth, satellites in a medium Earth orbit move more quickly. Two medium Earth orbits are notable: the semi-synchronous orbit and the Molniya orbit.
The semi-synchronous orbit is a near-circular orbit (low eccentricity) 26,560 kilometers from the center of the Earth (about 20,200 kilometers above the surface). A satellite at this height takes 12 hours to complete an orbit. As the satellite moves, the Earth rotates underneath it. In 24-hours, the satellite crosses over the same two spots on the equator every day. This orbit is consistent and highly predictable. It is the orbit used by the Global Positioning System (GPS) satellites.
