David Colquhoun, Twitter-addicted scourge of scientific quackery
by Tim Adams posted on April 22, 2013 12:53PM GMT
Professor of pharmacology David Colquhoun is the take-no-prisoners debunker of pseudoscience on his unmissable blog
Patients guide to Magic medicine
This is a short guide, adapted and expanded from the list published here. It isnt exactly a scientific review. but it seems to me to sum up most of what a patient needs to know. At least it is more accurate than HRHs guide.
The guide has now been reproduced in the Financial Times (apart from the new last item). Perhaps it will even be read by more people than the original.
■Homeopathy: giving patients medicines that contain no medicine whatsoever.
■Herbal medicine: giving patients an unknown dose of an ill-defined drug, of unknown effectiveness and unknown safety.
■Acupuncture: a rather theatrical placebo, with no real therapeutic benefit in most if not all cases.
■Chiropractic: an invention of a 19th century salesmen, based on nonsensical principles, and shown to be no more effective than other manipulative therapies, but less safe.
■Reflexology: plain old foot massage, overlaid with utter nonsense about non-existent connections between your feet and your thyroid gland.
■Nutritional therapy: self-styled nutritionists making untrue claims about diet in order to sell you unnecessary supplements.
■Spiritual healing: tea and sympathy, accompanied by arm-waving.
■Reiki: ditto.
■Angelic Reiki. The same but with added Angels, Ascended Masters and Galactic Healers. Excellent for advanced fantasists.
■Colonic irrigation: a rectal obsession that fails to rid you of toxins which you didnt have in the first place.
■Anthroposophical medicine: followers of the mystic barmpot, Rudolf Steiner, for whom nothing whatsoever seems to strain credulity
■Alternative diagnosis: kinesiology, iridology, vega test etc, various forms of fraud, designed to sell you cures that dont work for problems you havent got.
■Any alternative therapist who claims to cure AIDS or malaria: agent of culpable homicide.
■Libel: A very expensive remedy, to be used only when you have no evidence. Appeals to alternative practitioners because truth is irrelevant.
The last of these was inspired by Jack of Kent, the Prince among lawyers.

Papua New Guinea is a tropical island country located in Oceania. Its capital is Port Moresby. [1]
Magical creatures
Because of its tropical climate, Papua New Guinea is an ideal habitat for Lethifolds, carnivorous beasts similar to Dementors.
In 1782, wizard Flavius Belby became the first and only wizard to survive a Lethifold attack. This occurred in Papua New Guinea. [2]
The country acquired its name in the 19th century. The word "Papua" derives from Malay papuah describing the frizzy hair of Melanesians. "New Guinea" comes from the Spanish explorer Íñigo Ortiz de Retes, who noted the resemblance of the local people to those he had earlier seen along the Guinea coast of Africa. [3]

Cubs Lose Bulls Win
- Tuesday May 20th – Minute Maid Park
- Astros 4 – Cubs 2
- Record (28-18) – 1st place in the NL Central
The skinny: What a tremendous break for the Chicago Bulls this evening, winning the first overall-pick in the June NBA Draft.
Amazingly, the Bulls beat the minuscule odds of a 1.7 % chance at winning the league's draft lottery.
Repeat that again please, I said a 1.7% chance. Even Sir Charles wouldn't bet against those odds.
In turn, Chicago was right at an 81% chance of staying put in the ninth spot.
Now, they're in position to potential compete for an NBA title next year.
How ya feelin' Mike D'Antoni?
I don't think anyone could have been more surprised than the Bulls' representative, Executive Vice President, Business Operations Steve Schanwald.
"I thought it was a waste of time [attending]," said Schanwald. He later added "I was just hoping to have a good meal."
I love Schanwald's response, pure honesty!
So, now the million dollar (literally) question is, who should the Bulls pick?
I'd take point guard Derrick Rose. The NBA is a guard's game now and Rose is the best available version of Chris Paul.
With the Draft set for June 26th we'll know soon enough who the Bulls will take.
As for the Cubs, odds are tomorrow's game at Houston will be another close one.
At least that's the trend versus Houston dating back to last season: since Sept. 1, eight of the last 10 games have been decided by two or fewer runs, tonight's final included.
The bright side is Chicago has much better odds of winning the rubber-match tomorrow than the Bulls had for winning the lottery tonight – not that it turned out badly for the registered Angus.
The Cubs just missed at the plate on a couple of breaks that would have swung the game their way.
Most notable, in the first inning Fukudome laced a liner just foul down the right field line, had it hit fair Derek Lee would have scored the game's first run.
Instead, Fukudome combined with Soriano to strand six total runners (three apiece); big Geo fanned during the second inning after Chris Sampson lead him off with a 3-0 count, and Jim Edmonds killed a no-out rally in the seventh by hitting into a twin killing – and added a fourth inning throwing error as well.
Although, I'd say the larger issue is Soriano and Theriot combining for an 0-for-8 effort in front of the hot bats of Lee (3-for-5) and Ramirez (2-for-4, HR, 2 RBIs).
Outside one bad inning from Ryan Dempster (6 IP, 4-R, 6-H, 2-BB and 5-K) – allowing Hunter Pence's grand slam in the fourth – the pitching was good. After all, those were the only runs the Astros scored.
Really, the Cubs just looked flat tonight, which, is disturbing considering Astros' starter Chris Sampson is typically the type of pitcher Chicago takes to the cleaners: Sampson has allowed 62 hits in 47 innings pitched including a 6.46 ERA entering tonight's game.
And worse, the lack of run production comes just days after the Cubs flopped against another very hittable starter, Phil Dumatrait shut down the lineup Sunday.
Besides the importance of winning the series tomorrow, Chicago needs a nice rebound game before Thursday's travel day to Pittsburgh.
Not to mention, the way the team swings the sticks against the Peg Legs, a win tomorrow night could be the beginning of a four game winning streak.
And, the odds of that happening have to better than 1.7%, right?
W: Sampson (3-3) – Valverde (13)
L: Dempster (5-2)
- Notes: Ryan Dempster has dropped two of his past four outings.
- Prior to Aramis connecting for home runs in the last two games (HR No. 7, 8), the third baseman had gone 20 contests since his last round tripper.
- Mark DeRosa extended his hitting streak to 11-games by leading off the fifth with a single; the streak matches a career high for the utility man.

A strong interest in Hospitality led me to do a three year Diploma in Hotel Management & catering Technology from Naval Institute of Technology, India. I was always one of the best performers in my class and was awarded a certificate of excellence.
Also, during my course I was interned with top hotels such as Oberoi Hotels & Resorts, the Ambassador's Sky Chef in Mumbai & Taj Wellington Mews in Mumbai.
After this, I went to Switzerland to pursue my Post-Graduate Diploma in Hotel & Tourism Management from DCT, Switzerland. During my course, I interned with leading hotels such Astoria Hotel, Switzerland.
My ultimate aim of mine is to be successful and to own as well as manage my own Hotel in India. Although in the past few years I have gained thorough knowledge of the hospitality industry, I believe there is a lot more to running a business like knowledge of finance, marketing and global business. MBA degree in Hospitality sector will help me develop these skills and in return help me become a successful businesswoman.
London School of Business and Finance offers a very good MBA program in Travel and Hospitality Management for international students and I believe studying in this environment will be very beneficial.

WILKES COUNTY, Ga. -- The deputy coroner says an autopsy is underway after a deer hunter's body was found in the woods over the weekend.
The man has been identified as 35-year-old Jeffrey Sean Gebhardt of Blairsville, Ga.
Wilkes County Sheriff Mark Moore says they received the call late Saturday night. The caller said Gebhardt had called in saying he had been hunting in the Clarks Hill Wildlife Management area and was lost.
Emergency and rescue personnel searched the area but couldn't find Gebhardt. The GSP helicopter with the infrared system was called in and found Gebhardt in an area of marsh and grass that normally underwater but was exposed because of the low lake level.
The death investigation with the Sheriff's Office, the Georgia Bureau of Investigation and the Department of Natural Resources was opened at 3 a.m. on Sunday.
The sheriff calls it a "questionable death" but won't go into more detail until the autopsy is completed.

Star Wars
From Uncyclopedia, the content-free encyclopedia
"It's a trap!"
- ~ Admiral Ackbar (on the shameless commercial scam to buy Lucas' movie merchandise) on Star Wars
Star Wars[1] is an American epic space opera film series created by George Lucas, a successful filmmaker know for masterpieces like Howard the Duck and Willow. There are six Star Wars films, all of which have grossed billions of dollars and gone on to become bigger than Jesus. The first film made was simply titled Star Wars.[2]
The Star Wars films have won a total of sixty Academy Awards, the most for any series in film history. In fact, in 1983, the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences made the unheard-of move of bestowing its coveted Best Picture award as a tie between two movies in this series that had come out in the same year.
In 1975, George Lucas had an idea. Not an idea as simple as one that you or I might have, of course, as the idea was not had by you or me. It was had by George Lucas. Yes, George Lucas, already the brilliant mastermind behind such works as American Graffiti, but who really cares about that, anyway? He made fucking STAR WARS!!
Well, he made six of them as to separate all this into chapters of a serial since this he realized he could make more money and draw a larger audience if he stretched this out. All he wanted to do was special effects and making movies was his way of making BILLIONS for his special effects along. This six-part saga was going to be a NINE-part series, but even Lucas himself got fed up with this damn thing. Well, he had this idea, and he made his movie(s). A movie which took place a long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away....
It is a period of civil war. Rebel spaceships, striking from a hidden base have...etc., etc., DEATH STAR!!, etc., Princess Leia, etc., save her people and restore freedom to the galaxy!!
Sequels, Prequels, Novels, Comics, Spin-offs, Spoofs, and What Little Credibility the Franchise has Left
In the beginning, there was only one Star Wars. Of course, after a success such as Star Wars, fans, and the faceless Hollywood corporations are left wanting more. The fans want more movie time so that they can pretend that their boring life is action-y and explosion-riddled for a couple of hours. The faceless Hollywood corporations want more so that they can leech money off of said fans until there is nothing left to take, and they control all the money. This is because if they control the money, they control the spice, and if they control the spice, they control the universe.
Still, this left Lucas with only one option: numerous sub-par sequels! While the first sequel, The Empire Strikes Back, has been considered a masterpiece of modern filmmaking, the following five sequels/prequels/spinoffs (Return of the Jedi, The Phantom Menace, Attack of the Clones, Revenge of the Sith, and The Clone Wars) have been accused by fans of desecrating the beloved franchise.
Believe it or not, the Star Wars prequels were not the first time Lucas pulled a trick on his fans. Heck, even Return of the Jedi had its problems, as evidenced by this quote: "I thought it would be hilarious to ruin the climactic feel of the movie by introducing some sort of incredibly irritating creature who would dominate the last 30 or so minutes," Lucas says in an interview, chuckling. "So that's when I came up with the Ewok." For the three or four readers here who haven't seen the movie, Ewoks are possibly the most preposterous creatures ever put on screen. Picture the Telletubbies, except instead of four, there is a fucking army of them, and every one of them has fur that they never shave. Yeah. Seriously.
Lucas thought it would be hilarious to introduce these oversized gerbils and watch the reactions to the fans, who he clearly thought would be devastated. Unfortunately, many fans loved the Ewoks, even after they sang the most irritating song ever written at the end of the series. "Well," Lucas reportedly said, "Ruining the end of the story clearly wasn't good enough. At least I still have time to ruin the beginning!"
In the early 2000s, back when Cartoon Network wasn't shit, Lucas hired Genndy Tartakovsky to do a Clone Wars animated series. Clone Wars was a huge critical success, and considered much better than the prequels. it really bothered Lucas that people kept saying it was way better than the prequels were. When the show ended in 2005, Lucas planned on renewing it, but it really bothered him that people kept saying it was way better than the prequels were. So he fired Genndy and made a new CG Clone Wars show. The truth is, Genndy knew how to turn Star Wars into a work of art and Lucas has completely disrespected this and turned it into a 30 minute toy commercial. All of the maturity and darker themes of Genndy's version were thrown out the window in favor of kid-friendly adventures and learning lessons about friendship.
Genndy was the only time Star Wars has EVER been good. Only Genndy knows how to do Star Wars. He should be given a time machine so he can go back to 1975 or whatever and do the movies himself so that they'll actually be GOOD this time, instead of two hours of gay shit. Lucas needs to die; he only has one 1/1000th the artistic genius of Genndy and he knows it and it makes him FURIOUS. Star Wars has only ever been good under Genndy's vision and Lucas is fucking jealous about it.
More Sequels
In 2005, many Star Wars fans killed themselves as they had nothing left to look forward to in life except reissues of countless "special editions" of DVDs with a new stupid piece of CGI put in which would only make fans roll their eyes every time. "Why was this?" you may ask. Well, this was because the Star Wars saga had ended. Or did it?
In 2012, it seemed that George Lucas was getting down on his luck. His latest movies were shit and didn't make any money. Lucas needed a continuous flow of income to support his porn addiction, multiple whores, and seven lunches a day. He also needed liposuction. Then he got an idea - an awful idea. Lucas had a wonderful, awful idea! "I know just what to do," Lucas laughed in his oversized camel-like throat, and he ate a quick Big Mac and a Coke. He chuckled and burped, "What a great bitchy trick! With this new Disney deal, I'll be a rich prick!"
So George sold Star Wars to the guys over at Disney. That way he could afford to pay his Latino maids and prostitutes, as well as support his addiction to making sculptures out of chicken fat and then eating them.[3] Meanwhile at Disney, Bob Igor hired J.J. the Jet Plane to direct three new sequels, with McG and Kenny Hotz from the not-so-hit Russian show Kenny vs. Spenny to pen the script. McG and Hotz have promised to make the next ten films "bigger, better, and sexier than the originals."[4]
Plot summary
Original trilogy
Star Wars takes place "a long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away," if you are slow and didn't quite get that the first time I mentioned it. Yes, George Lucas was such a mastermind, he didn't have to set his story in the future, which is clearly a Sci-Fi cliché. Instead, Star Wars takes place in the past, completely ignoring every law of science and common sense about technology there is to ignore. The movie also takes place in an alternate galaxy, because it seems like it should. Really, look at the Milky Way. BORING! Unless you throw in an extra dimension or two, you just can't make our humble galaxy interesting.
So, the movie begins, with Lucas, in his eternally laudable sense of storytelling, giving us a bit of background info on the story. Apparently, at the start of the movie, it is a period of civil war. Also, it is a period of galactic unrest, and um.....Princess Leia's ship....yeah, anyways, the bad guys are after the good guys. There are lasers, and cool explosions and stuff, so....yeah.... I forget exactly what happens next, since I went upstairs at this point to grab my popcorn. Anyways, a couple of these robots (I know, robots in a sci-fi movie! Who would've thought?) wind up on a desert planet, apparently Yootapootapowpow, or some such creative name, where they meet Luke Skywalker. Princess Leia , meanwhile, is captured by the heavy-breathing Darth Vader, who apparently is not a very nice person. Presumably both characters are lonely and would like friends. He and Leia pass the time by staring menacingly at one-another and threatening to blow up planets.
Meanwhile, the two robust robots fall indirectly into the hands of a spry, rather whiny young lad named Luke Skywalker. His robotic companions lead him to the humble abode of three sand people, who proceed to beat the living shit out of Luke, until an old man comes along and asks them to leave. The old man, after revealing himself to be Ben Kenobi, takes a shot at Luke as well. Luke takes this opportunity to whine, and is again punched, this time by C3P0, one of the droids.
They reach Ben's home, where Luke is told of his father, one of my personal favorite parts of the movie. Ben speaks to Luke: "Uncle Owen... never told you about your father..."
Luke says that "He told me enough. He told me you killed him!"
"No," says Ben. "I am your father. Search your feelings, boy! You know it to be true!"
At this point, Luke's hand is chopped off by Obi Wan's lightsaber, and the entire Cantina goes silent. Luke, now with one hand less than before, recruits the help of the rugged and manly space captain Han Solo, whose gruffness hides his soft spot for soap operas and kittens. Put simply, Han Solo is not a stock character, nor is anyone else in the Star Wars movies, and anyone that says they are is obviously not an expert on the movie like me.
Along with Han, they meet Chewbacca, the lovable yet internally tortured companion of Han. His greatest dream was always to be a spaceship-piloting smuggler-mercenary-type thing, but his father always wanted him to be a baseball player. "Someday I'll make you proud, dad," sighs Chewie as he boards Han's spaceship.
At this point, the movie moves into space, territory previously uncharted by science fiction, which Lucas bravely opted to venture into. Han Solo, Chewbacca, Obi-Wan, and Luke take off in Han's spaceship, the Centuryhawk, or some such device. There are a couple space battles, but they all get to the Death Star and rescue the trigger-happy Princess Leia, who proceeds to somehow wind up with a firearm and shoot nearly every human, alien, and droid in the station. This clears the way for her, Han, Luke, and Chewbacca to escape the Death Star while Obi-Wan Kenobi wanders away and apparently gets lost, being the senile old man he is. Darth Vader finds him, and he is not really the nicest of people. A downright meanie-head, if you'll excuse my fucking language. Yeah, he kills Obi-Wan. It really didn't take him very long, either. Obi's last words are..... irrelevant, really, because he comes back later as a ghost, anyways.
At this point, there is a final, climactic, frantic, conclusive, final, climactic battle. In space, of course, as Lucas's aforementioned genius permits the aforementioned battle in the aforementioned movie to take place in the aforementioned setting, space. Space, of course, being aforementioned, like many other aforementioned aforementionings.
Essentially, Luke is flying through some evil-looking canyon-y thing, when Darth Vader has locked onto his spaceship with his lasers. Darth is dramatically pausing before finishing his opponent, which he knows will certainly happen, because all the odds are in his favor and at this point nothing could possibly go wrong to stop him. Suddenly, and completely unexpectedly, Han Solo appears in his spaceship, which was apparently not around for any of the actual battle and just showed up at the end to serve as a Deus Ex Machina. Either way, he shoots Darth Vader's ship, and Luke shoots some shiny things down a hole, which was apparently important, because it makes the Death Star explode.
At this point, I assumed the movie was over, because only a filmmaker with such brilliance as Lucas could think to end a page with an explosion. Still, there was more! An awards ceremony where Luke, Han, Chewie, and the droids all get medals, presumably for being in what is without question the greatest fucking movie of all time.
Anyway, the sequels can be summarized rather quickly. In The Empire Strikes Back, Darth Vader is Luke's father. No he wasn't dead. Yes, he's Luke's father. Yes, Obi-Wan was lying. Yes, Vader is Luke's father. Yes, Darth had sex with Luke's mommy and nine months later a baby came out that grew up on Tatoo....Tatoo....that dry planet and was named Luke. In other words, Darth Vader was Luke's goddamn father!! Really.
In Return of the Jedi, Luke goes to the "New Death Star", which I assume was like "New Coke", and vastly inferior to the original. There, Luke fights Darth Vader one last time. Did I mention that said Darth Vader is Luke's father? He is. Anyways, Luke wins, Vader dies, and so does the Emperor, because Darth throws him off a cliff into some giant pit-thing, which apparently leads to something bad, and/or something that he would not survive hitting at terminal velocity. Luke buries Darth Vader, who I should probably mention is Luke's father. This is the end of the series. Well, not really.
Prequel trilogy
The Star Wars prequels, released much later than the original than the two sequels, follow the life of a young Anakin Skywalker. We watch as he blossoms from a young child, full of hope and a sense of adventure, to a whiny teenager with a temper issue. He falls in love with Queen Padmé Amidala of Naboo. Apparently, she cheated on him with Obi-Wan, because one day Anakin gets really angry at both of them all of a sudden. He chokes Padmé (with the Force, because I guess he can do that now) and attacks Obi-Wan. Needless to say, this upsets Obi, who, after trying to "talk things out," chops off all of Anakin's arms and legs and pushes him into a giant lava pit.
Luckily, Anakin seems to have rolled for +17 and is impervious to blood loss, post-traumatic shock, lava melting, and immobility due to lack of bodily appendages. He slowly worms himself out of the lava in what could only be described as an amusing display of a pathetic attempt to move. The Emperor finds him, and, from what I can tell, turns him into a robot, and Darth Vader is born, completing the prequels.
Oh, and I should probably say that the prequels are lame. That's what all the real Star Wars fans say, and I feel that I am finally ready to join their ranks, as I have seen (parts of) almost every Star Wars movie! So yeah, fuck the prequels!
As soon as the movie was released, it instantly fell under a constant waterfall of acclaim and praise. Of course, the movie came out in 1977, so no evidence of this praise actually exists today. Still, anybody who was anybody went to see Star Wars, and then went home to tell everyone how awesome it was. Star Wars is also considered one of the first "High Concept" movies, which, despite having absolutely no idea what that means, I will mention here. Even today, it is praised as one of the best science fiction movies of all time, by critics such as myself, as I am now an expert on the movie, having just watched it.
One of the things critics praise about the movie is its intricate symbolism. For example, did you know that the seemingly outdated 1970s special effects are actually symbolic of the internal, emotional battles of man? They are. Not only that, note the numerous, supposedly unintentional holes in the plot, where the movie seems "inconsistent" to the untrained eye. These represent the chaos of modern society, and indeed the entire universe, as Lucas saw it in his artistic mind's eye at the time.
Still Star Wars' symbolism proved to be accessible enough for both the "Average-Joe" moviegoer and the wolf-like critics, who gaze intently at the screen, waiting... waiting for a flaw to exploit, and an excuse to destroy any chance the movie had for ever making any money and ruining a director's credibility, all in one fell swoop. Damn you, critics! Why? WHY??? Luckily, Star Wars was basically perfect on every cinematic level, so no critics anywhere disliked it, and Lucas's credibility remained intact. Well, until the sequels, at least...
Despite being massive, epic failures (on the "entertainment" level), Return of the Jedi and the three Star Wars prequels made Lucas a lot of money, furthering Lucas and his puppet-masters' plans to "control the world." Not only that, but The Empire Strikes Back is regarded by everyone as one of the best sequels of all time. At least, I assume so; I thought that one I saw was pretty good. Way better than Big Momma's House 2. Anyway, The Empire Strikes Back is a testament to the fact that some movie directors can make a sequel that doesn't suck, they just choose not to. Return of the Jedi and the dreadful prequels, meanwhile, show that sometimes you just can't win em all. More than any other symbolism in these, there is this: quit while you're ahead. George Lucas has never said anything smarter. After all, I would know.

ENGLEWOOD, Colo. — The Denver Broncos placed running back Willis McGahee on injured reserve (designated for return), it was announced on Wednesday.
McGahee opened 9-of-10 games for the Broncos this season, leading the club with 731 rushing yards and four touchdowns on 167 carries (4.4 avg.) in addition to posting 26 receptions for 221 yards. The 10th-year pro ranks third among active players with 8,097 career rushing yards, and his 33 100-yard rushing games lead all current running backs.
In his first season with the Broncos in 2011, McGahee was selected to play in his second Pro Bowl after recording his fourth career 1,000-yard rushing season (1,199 yds.). He joined Ricky Watters (S.F./Phi./Sea.) as the only players in NFL history to record 1,000 yards rushing in a season with three different teams—having previously done so with Buffalo (2004-05) and Baltimore (2007).
McGahee is eligible to return to practice in six weeks (Jan. 2) and can be activated by the Broncos in eight weeks (Jan. 16).

EAST LANSING - A twisting, turning 2014 Michigan State basketball recruiting campaign curved in a new direction this week when Tom Izzo came on strong again for one of the best shooters in the country, Trevon Bluiett of Indianapolis Park Tudor High School. Bluiett is ranked the No. 45 player in the country by Rivals.com. He committed to UCLA over Purdue, Michigan, Xavier, Indiana, Butler and Arizona. But Bluiett reopened the process in early October, with plans of going to college closer to his Midwestern home."It just him it," Bluiett's father, Reynaldo Bluiett told SpartanMag.com on Thursday. "It came to reality and it was like he said, 'I want to stick around (closer to home).'"Meanwhile, Michigan has moved on with its perimeter recruiting, and Michigan State is opening new avenues and revisiting some old ones. ...More...

Citynet already placing fiber-optic networks
CHARLESTON, W.Va. -- Citynet has already started to install fiber-optic networks in West Virginia as part of the Internet service provider's plan to bring faster broadband services to the state in a multi-year project, the company's CEO said Thursday.
Jim Martin said the Bridgeport-based company already has invested $20 million in its first phase of the statewide project.
Martin and Citynet Chief Financial Officer Todd Dlugos attended the monthly West Virginia Economic Development Authority meeting Thursday to get preliminary approval for a $7 million loan that will help finance the project.
Martin said Citynet plans to spend up to an additional $15 million -- including the $7 million loan -- in the first phase of the five-phase project.
The first phase, which should be completed in two years, will focus on the north-central part of West Virginia because it is "a dense fiber optic network," Martin said.
"Citynet recognizes the broadband challenges West Virginia faces, and its primary challenge is lack of infrastructure," Martin said. "Citynet has a vision to build new infrastructure throughout West Virginia but, initially, we're going to focus on the north-central area."
Martin said Citynet has been "silently doing this for the past year." Citynet has already constructed 40 miles of fiber-optic networks of the 130-mile route planned for phase one.
Some of that fiber has been installed at the Bridgeport Public Library, as previously reported by the Gazette.
The state used $7,400 in federal stimulus funds to bring high-speed fiber to the Bridgeport library -- part of a $126.3 million statewide broadband expansion project.
However, the library couldn't afford to pay for the new fiber line -- built by Frontier Communications -- and didn't want to wait years for the state to fix its e-rate contract, so the router was passed onto the city of Bridgeport and installed at a data center owned by Citynet.
The router now serves all city departments -- including the public library, fire department, police department and a cemetery -- on a separate fiber network built by Citynet. The router also will run the city's phone system.
Because Frontier owns the stimulus-funded fiber network, Citynet had to install its own fiber line to the library and charged $800 -- nearly 10 times less than what Frontier billed the state under the federal grant.
The average Internet residential customer in West Virginia today gets broadband speeds of 1 megabit per second, Martin said. Businesses get 3 megabits per second, he said.
EDA members voted to give preliminary approval to the $7 million loan. It will be up for final approval next month.
With the new high-speed infrastructure, Citynet's plan is to bring 1 gigabit per second to West Virginians, 1,000 times the current speed, Martin said.
"The only way to achieve that is to invest in infrastructure in fiber-optic networks," Martin said.
Citynet's plan is similar to the Google Fiber project, he said.
Google Fiber -- launched as a test in Kansas City, Kan., last month -- is "ultra high-speed broadband networks . . . that will deliver Internet speeds more than 100 times faster than what most Americans have access to today with 1 gigabit per second, fiber-to-the-home connections," according to its website.
However, Citynet currently is installing the fiber-optic networks to benefit businesses, Dlugos said.
"We are predominantly focused on businesses initially because there is a faster return with businesses," Dlugos said. "Economic development comes through business investments."
Residential customers won't see high-speed broadband services until up to five years from now, Martin said.
In an email sent after the meeting, Martin said, "This is a unique opportunity to bring next-generation [fiber to the premises]-based solutions to our business community, which is becoming increasingly more dependent on affordable high-capacity broadband services."
Because West Virginia is ranked 52nd of 56 in U.S. states and territories for broadband speed, Martin said, it makes sense to do this now.
One challenge in West Virginia is the state's small population and rugged terrain, which has made it a challenge for competitive broadband services to come here, Martin said.
"Our broadband costs in West Virginia are 20 times neighboring states because of lack of infrastructure and competition," Martin said. "Our goal is to cut broadband costs by 90 percent."
Martin said Citynet has hired independent contractors during the construction period.
He couldn't say when the project would reach the Charleston area but did say the state capital is "more challenging to build in, because we have to tear streets up and more."
In other business Thursday, EDA members:
• Gave final approval for a $3.7 million loan to IMI Fabi to buy new equipment in the company's Benwood facility. IMI Fabi, a producer of milled talc used in the polymer, paper, paint, agriculture, pharmaceutical and cosmetics industries, is expanding in Marshall County. The project will create nine jobs in the next three years, according to the EDA.
• Gave final approval to Skana Aluminum Co., a Wisconsin-based aluminum firm, for $2 million. Skana Aluminum plans to buy a building in Clarksburg owned by Family Aluminum.
The loan will be used to purchase equipment in the Scott Aluminum plant and increase the staff from 35 to 48 workers over the next three years.
• Insured a $320,000 bank loan to City National Bank for Main Street Hinton, a nonprofit group, to operate a long-term health-care facility in Summers County. The loan insurance could permit the company to restore 24 jobs.

Hi, I'm Maureen Bickett, I am a nurse, I am a student, I am a wife, and I am a mother. I graduated ROTC with a bachelors in nursing in 1996. I was always someone who liked a challenge.
Had I just had a college education I would not be the person I am today. I think that I was given traits and leadership abilities and skills that I wouldn't have had if I just graduated with a regular nursing degree.
I think my whole life I felt obligated to fulfill duties, I had a duty in college and completed my ROTC program. I felt that it was my duty to support Soldiers as an Army nurse. Now I feel it is my duty to take care of my family, I think my kids need me at this time.
I think there will be a time when I pick up and continue with my education with psychology when I feel that my kids are stable, established, they are doing great in school that's when I can pick up and do the things that I know I can do.
It's hard to achieve anything without accountability in life in general. You can't do the things you want to do in life without having some sort of self discipline without having some sort of accountability.
If somebody can help you along to achieve your goals then you can do anything. ROTC takes you to places you thought you would never go.

Healthy Eating: Changing Your Eating Habits
The food you eat can affect your health and your risk for certain diseases. To eat healthier food, you may need to change some of your daily habits. You also may need to change some things in your environment. Your environment includes everything around you, like your home or the place you work.
You don't need to make huge changes to eat healthier. And you don't have to change your habits all at the same time. It's best to set small goals and change your habits a little bit at a time. Over time, small changes can make a big difference in your health.
This information will help you make useful changes for healthy eating.
- Changing your eating habits and your environment can help you eat healthier foods.
- A healthy diet is good for your overall health. It also can help you reach a healthy weight and stay there.
- To improve your eating habits, it's best to make small lifestyle changes that you can keep doing over time.
Every day you make choices about what you eat and how much you eat. Think about how your daily routine and your environment affect these choices. Do you tend to skip meals when you get busy? Do you eat out a lot?
Habits like these can trigger unhealthy eating. But there are things you can do to avoid unhealthy eating.
- Plan your meals. Write out a menu for several days at a time, and then make a grocery list for that menu. Post your menu on the refrigerator.
- When you can, double a healthy recipe and freeze part of it to use for meals on busy nights.
- Choose convenience foods wisely. Get prewashed salad mix, peeled baby carrots, or frozen vegetables that you can microwave quickly.
- Keep plenty of healthy snack foods on hand, such as fresh fruits, cut-up vegetables, yogurt, and whole-grain crackers.
- Plan your meals and snacks so you eat healthy foods, rather than waiting until you are hungry and grabbing something at the convenience store.
- Try not to snack while watching TV, working at the computer, driving, or making meals. You may end up eating when you aren't hungry. Plan your meals and healthy snacks ahead of time, and stay with your plan.
Eating out
- When you eat out, try to choose something healthy. Find restaurants that have heart-healthy items marked on their menus, and choose these items when possible. If you eat fast food, order the smallest burger, such as the child-sized, instead of a double or triple burger. Find places that let you choose healthy sides like fruit, salad, or milk instead of french fries and soft drinks.
- Eat smaller portions at restaurants by sharing a meal or taking some food home. Restaurants often give you much larger portions than you need.
- If you order fast foods, find ways to make these foods into a meal. For example, when you order a pizza, eat it at home with a salad, milk, and fruit.
Test Your Knowledge
Whole grains, lean meats, low-fat dairy, vegetables, and fruits are healthy foods to include in your meals.
This answer is correct.
Whole grains, lean meats, low-fat dairy, vegetables, and fruits should be part of your regular meal plan. Keep plenty of these foods at home, and add them to your shopping list. This way, you can make healthy eating a habit.

Eating healthy foods is good for your overall health. With a healthy diet, your body can get the nutrients it needs to stay strong and work well. And you lower your risk for high cholesterol, heart disease, high blood pressure, type 2 diabetes, stroke, cancer, and other health problems.
A healthy diet is important no matter what size you are. You can improve your health by eating foods that are good for you no matter what you weigh.

This answer is correct.
Improving your diet is good for your overall health. You can lower your risk for heart disease, high blood pressure, diabetes, stroke, and other health problems. A healthy diet is important for your health no matter what size you are.
To eat a healthy diet, you may need to make some changes. Remember that you can change your eating habits a little bit at a time. Small changes are easier to make and can lead to better health.
Here are some ways to make healthy changes in your eating habits:
- Keep more fruits, low-fat dairy products (low-fat milk and low-fat yogurt), vegetables, and whole-grain foods at home and at work. Focus on adding healthy food to your diet, rather than just taking unhealthy foods away.
- Try to eat a family meal every day at the kitchen or dining table. This will help you focus on eating healthy meals.
- Buy a healthy-recipe book, and cook for yourself. Chew gum when you cook so you won't be tempted to snack on the ingredients.
- Pack a healthy lunch and snacks for work. This lets you have more control over what you eat.
- Put your snacks on a plate instead of eating from the package. This helps you control how much you eat.
- Don't skip or delay meals, and be sure to schedule your snacks. If you ignore your feelings of hunger, you may end up eating too much or choosing an unhealthy snack. If you often feel too hungry, it can cause you to focus a lot on food.
- Eat your meals with others when you can. Relax and enjoy your meals, and don't eat too fast. Try to make healthy eating a pleasure, not a chore.
- Drink water instead of high-sugar drinks (including high-sugar juice drinks).
Test Your Knowledge
Skipping or delaying a meal can lead to eating too much.
This answer is correct.
Skipping or delaying a meal can make you very hungry. You will be more likely to eat too much or choose an unhealthy snack later. Schedule your meals and snacks so that you don't get too hungry.
This answer is incorrect.
Skipping or delaying a meal can make you very hungry. You will be more likely to eat too much or choose an unhealthy snack later. Schedule your meals and snacks so that you don't get too hungry.
Now that you have read this information, you are ready to make changes for healthy eating.

I recently decided to spend some time playing and learning the art of Big Blue. In my ~3600 matches I can never recall playing against it, and have only seen it done a handful of times by others. This seemed rather odd considering how common Zu, Allind, and True Retear reap their wrath in Folrart. Legyre always seems to get left out. Usually it is only referred to as an abstract term and some long term vets have vague memories of it from set 2, yet it really seemed to me like no one really had a feeling of what it is or how it is meant to be played.
So, in my prior attempts I tried to mirror other bigs, as in focus on the top bigs (Legyre, Vonderam) and fit in powerful mids (Alna, Mirelia). This can work sometimes, but I was not too pleased with the file considering it's enormous reliance on grims, and attempts to win games with only a handful of units. For my recent attempt at the file I tried to go with more of a "great creatures of the sea" theme. After some experimenting and many many hours of thought into the matter. I finally settled with a file that I am pretty happy with and just wanted to make a post on the matter.
Philosophy: Before one makes their attempt at this file it is important to grasp the underlying philosophy of such a file. In listening to others talk about it, I hear people conceptualizing selfish plans all focused on oneself. As in, you might be thinking things of the format: first I will do X, then Y, then Z. This is how most rushes work. Like say you are playing command dolls. You open however you want, then get White Lilly out, then Scarlet Rose, and go to town etc. What I am trying to get at is that Big Blue is a fundamentally different type of file. You must enter your matches with NO PRESET PLANS. As in, what you do and how you play is totally a function of the opponent's actions. You can not rely on gimics, you can not rely on tricks, you are not playing a "Legyre file" or a "Vonderam file" or a "Manta Ray file." You are playing "Big Blue" and are giving yourself many various options for different types of files. It is very important to make this distinction, cause you really, really need to play your opponent instead of playing your cards here.
Unit Composition
Sylph/Undine/Regus Patroller: These are all essentials for such a file. Your bigs are all really low agility units, and can die extremely easily before ever acting. Thus you must be able to force your Legyre/Vonderam/Leviathan to act first before the opponent moves.
Legyre: The token dragon emperor. Open skill is great verse and mid type files, and can totally clear enemy fields with auto skill cyclone. Playing the sylph/undine game with Legyre allows him to solo individual units.
Vonderam: The sea lord. Very powerful verse just about all level 3 rushes for obvious reasons. I've found rushing him to be generally ineffective, and usually it's best to do some kind of prelude to play him. As in, first play around with your mid wyverns, or levi, or Legyre then transition into Vonderam. It is important that you play him later in the match at a point where you have generated enough SP to really support him.
Leviathan: Combo with Regus Patroller for specific situations. Can almost win games single handedly. Once Regus Patroller puts Levi at perm 4AGI, you can use undines to return high agi units.
Wyverns: Lightning/Strike/Sea. All have great uses. Lightning Wyvern has great field wipe capability, Strike Wyvern has an amazing open skill and can solo many powerful mids such as Rivera. Sea Wyvern can give you back your great spirits for important turns later.
Tanks: Giant Ancient Tortoise/Manta Ray. Both have great uses. The turtle can act as great tank so your wyverns or Vonderam can go to town. Manta Ray can stop some rushes dead in their tracks like Undead or Wizard Kingdom.
Endgame power: Bog Wyvern/Durandel. When things go bad you can turn to this combo to hold out and overpower the opponent.
Grims: Personally I don't use many grims. However a Disjunction seems like a must. Tempest and Thunderheads could be options maybe. Beyond that you may not need anything else. There really isn't a powerful bigs-specific grim similar to how other spheres have Aura/Death Maker/Roar.
Results: I was pretty happy with the file. I played roughly 50 games with it, and wavered between 1870 and 1940 in RP. You have some good matchups, and enough options to deal with a broad range of files. Big problems for the file include almost everything Lawtia and the ease of level manipulation. For example many Lawtia units such as Dalos, Afel, Joachim, and EX Zuga can present huge problems for the file. Also, all it takes to counter Legyre/Vonderam is a measly miracle fruit. Like Vonderam and Legyre are literally rendered totally useless if the opponent just plays a fruit, OR uses level manipulation units like Violet X2, that Folrart chick, Broken Priest, and Heierrat Horseman. It's probably the weakest "bigs/dragon emp" file, but I just wanted to try to create it and show people how it works.
I felt like the great spirits of Vonderam and Legyre have been slumbering for far too long so I wanted to give them a voice and maybe show other people and/or inspire other people to make their own builds.

State officials Tuesday launched a rebranding campaign for Colorado intended to broaden the state's appeal to tourists and to attract employers.
Dubbed "Making Colorado," the effort will involve dozens of Colorado leaders, professionals and others, and will solicit ideas from the public.
The mission is to help the state compete more successfully in the global marketplace for talent, trade, business and tourism, said Aaron Kennedy, Colorado's chief marketing officer and founder of Noodles & Co.
"Colorado is really more than a pretty face," he said. "We've really let our mountains speak for Colorado. But we are more than mountains. There is a lot more to us, and it is really time to bring that strong voice and our message to the world."
Gov. John Hickenlooper announced the rebranding effort in January during a speech at the Capitol, calling it "brandCO." On Tuesday it was renamed and officially launched.
The state will solicit ideas from the public at makingcolorado.gov for the next few months. The input will be reviewed by teams being assembled to help shape the campaign. In August, Hickenlooper plans to unveil results.
"To me, it's all about jobs," he said. "It is about attracting businesses to the state and supporting the businesses that are here. We've always marketed ourselves as a resort and a place where people come to relax and get away from it all. But at the same time, we've been building a very diverse economy."
Hickenlooper said the rebranding was under consideration long before events such as the last year's wildfires and Aurora theater shooting brought negative attention to the state.
Kennedy said the project will be done for less than $1 million.
"We found a way to tap into Colorado's creative resources. And everybody we've approached has been so enthusiastic and basically been willing to do the project on a pro-bono basis, getting paid enough to cover their hard costs over the 10 months of the project," said Kennedy, who makes $72,000. "We are able to do the whole thing for a little under a million dollars, and that includes all the media, the public relation services, and website design and development, the outreach program."
A creative team will be led by Dave Schiff, founder of marketing agency Made Movement. A brand council will include business leaders, and high school seniors will be part of a youth ambassador council.

Many federal retirees and their survivors are just fine without Medicare, if they have one of the federal health plans.
So who are these people, and what are those plans?
Today on Your Turn, David Snell from the National Active and Retired Federal Employees talked about best buys for retirees.
The health insurance hunting season begins Monday.
Later in the show, Federal Times senior writer Sean Reilly talked about what the election may mean for feds, the consequences of falling off the fiscal cliff, and the latest on the U.S. Postal Service plans to slim down and stay alive.

Twenty five poor women in Dar es Salaam city and its precincts on Friday felt Pakistan's heartiest greetings of her 72nd national day after they each received a sewing machine to help them fight poverty.
The machines, each worth 100 US Dollars were issued by the High Commissioner for Pakistan in Tanzania, Tajammul Altaf for Tanzania at a brief ceremony at the High Commissioner's office in the city…
A sigh of relief engulfed Sophia Mngole from Kinondoni area, one of the recipients of the donation. Sophia,37, has since her childhood been working as a house girl in various areas in the country. This was after her mother died when she was still at a tender age.
Poor Sophia had shown great dedication to her house-girl work which has made her live happily with every family she had been labouring for. She has been keeping her meagre pay she received to pay to a tailoring mart so that she could learn the art.
She is now able to make various designs for both male and female customers. That is why owners of the mart have retained her to assist them in their work. She however receives peanuts at the end of the day although her work mints much money for the owner of the mart.
After the Pakistan offer of the sewing machine she only said, 'God is great.' She has began to see the light at the end of the tunnel. The future looks bright for her.
'This machine will liberate me from poverty. The sewing machine will make me raise money to take care of my nine-year old daughter Rispa who is in standard three.
The same feeling was felt by the other 19 recipients of the donation. Smiling, many had even enquired from the Pakistanis at the function how to say 'Long live Pakistan' in Urdu which is the national language of Pakistan.
"Pakistan Painda abad,' meaning Long live Pakistan, they replied to any Pakistanis who greeted them at the function.
A flag hoisting ceremony to mark the 72nd Anniversary of the Pakistan was held at the High Commission for Pakistan in Dar es Salaam.
Many Pakistanis along with friends of Pakistan and Tanzania participated in the ceremony.
High Commissioner of the Islamic Republic of Pakistan to Tanzania, Tajammul Altaf, hoisted the flag in accompaniment of the national anthem of Pakistan.
Messages of the President and Prime Minister of Pakistan were read out on the occasion. The congratulatory message from President Jakaya Mrisho Kikwete, addressed to President Asif Ali Zardari was also read out.
At the function a news-bulletin of the Welfare Association of Pakistanis was launched before the 25 sewing machines were donated to widows and other women in need.
Pakistan greatly values its relationship with Tanzania and considers it as an important country in the East African Community.
The high commissioner said Pakistan attaches high importance to its close cordial and friendly relation with Tanzania. The two countries have ever since cooperated in various fields including capacity building of Tanzanians, in defense, industry, agriculture, diplomacy, police, health, education, banking and human resources management.
A message from the President of Pakistan, Asif Ali Zardari on the Pakistan Day said unless there was a rule of law and every one was equal before the law and unless the people of Pakistan work within the constitutionally defined parameters, stability would elude the Pakistan people.
He said the founding fathers of Pakistan had resolved to carve out an independent state where there will be democracy and where constitutionalism and rule of law would reign supreme.
"Unfortunately, successive dictators tried to stifle democratic aspirations of the people. Constitutionalism and rule of law was trampled by dictators….," it said but however said," on the eve of Pakistan Day this year, it is reassuring to realize that the Parliament has successfully removed the vestiges of dictatorship and restored the democratic constitution of Pakistan.
On his part, the Pakistan Prime Minister, Syed Yusuf Gilani said in a message to celebrate the day that the day was not only a day for celebration, but also an opportunity to reiterate the country's pledge to keep working hard for attainment of the objectives contained in the Pakistan Resolution.
The Lahore Resolution commonly known as the Pakistan Resolution, was a formal political statement adopted by the Muslim League on the occasion of its three-day general session in 1940 that called for the creation of 'independent states' for Muslims in British India. The constituent units of these states were to be autonomous and sovereign.
"On this auspicious occasion, we pledge to uphold the supremacy of democracy and the rule of law at every cost," it said.
It said the Pakistan people need to strengthen the principles of mutual tolerance, brotherhood and reconciliation to foster unity their ranks.
"We have to strengthen our national security and independence in accordance with our national aspirations. The day demands us to revive the spirit of Pakistan Movement in its entirety," it said.
A message from President Jakaya Kikwete to President Asif Zardari on the occasion of the 72nd anniversary of the Pakistan Day was also read by the High Commissioner.
"On behalf of the Government and the people of the United Republic of Tanzania and on my own, I would like to convey my sincere congratulations to your Excellency and through you, to the Government and the people of Pakistan on the occasion of the celebration of the 72nd National day of Pakistan," the message in part.
"I would like to take this opportunity to express our sincere satisfaction with the cordial, friendly and historic relations that exist between the governments and the people of Pakistan and United Republic of Tanzania," it said..
"On this important day let me reiterate our sincere desire to further expand and strengthen the friendly relations and cooperation that exist between our two countries," it said.

Well, they had his sponsorhsip money already in the William's checking account so Toto could spend on a test/wife driver and the VBot. The present Williams team has become a joke. Every other team allows their main driver(s) to full practices before every race. How is it possible that a team would mandate a test driver to practice and setup a car to be driven by another driver? The mystique of the historic Williams F1 has been finally destroyed. rip.

This two-year project assisted in the reforestation of a former mining site that had been purchased by the Ohio DNR Division of Forestry as an addition to Fernwood State Forest. The area was mined in the early 1980s and reclaimed to grasses. This project will restore the area to its former forest ecosystem, thereby providing diverse wildlife habitat and reinforcing the riparian buffer zone on the Cross Creek watershed. In the first year of the project 90,700 trees were planted on 126 acres.
This project was supported by our corporate partner, the Alcoa Foundation.

The script will place you in an editor with a copy of the report to be sent. Edit the lines near the beginning that indicate the nature of the problem. Then write the file to save your changes, quit the editor, and mysqlbug will send the report by email.

In addition to making your child look great, our animal costumes can also serve an educational purpose. The imagery of our animal outfits for infants and toddlers helps to solidify the names of animals in your child's mind. Without them even knowing it, you are teaching them to learn the names of all sorts of creatures. If you let your child pick out the costume, they could easily come to connect the appearance of animals with their names. Who knew Halloween could be so educational?
