20 minutes a day is considered insufficient. 1 hour a day is good.

Standing desks DO NOT solve this issue since you are still not moving and poses other health issues. You can't stand in one place all day. People need to sit as well.

Standing poses other health risks. There is no silver bullet. They key is to get people to move around on a regular basis at work.

True going to the gym, according to the article, would not help. This has not been proven. So take that assertion with a grain of salt. However, taking mini breaks during the day would be of benefit. The key is not to sit for prolonged periods of time.

Actually it doesn't. What the article is trying to say is that exercise will not counteract the effect of prolonged sitting. The problem with that assertion is, it's not proven. The article simple correlates health outcomes with people who exercise and have prolonged sitting, through meta analysis.. Nothing more. IT DOES NOT PROVE CAUSATION. Therein lies the problem. Even the correlation is somewhat weak since it was not a single experiment designed to observe those outcomes but rather base those conclusions on other research.

So there is no proof here. But it does highlight an area for future research.

FTA: "Restricting the FCC's Section 706 powers could also interfere with the commission's plans for preempting state laws that prevent cities and towns from building broadband networks." http://arstechnica.com/tech-po...

So their masters were worried about cities building their own fiber network.

...of Comcast in their mouth. Nice.

Apparently you are no familiar with Google's petition to the FCC says Title II would help them gain access to utilities poles to roll out fiber.

Which is where local government can step in and provide without fear of lawsuits from big telecom that prevents such rollouts.

How the hell is this a true free market example? Microsoft laid off a bunch of workers and than banned their rehire. How is that a free market? Immigrants are not free to move into this country without a work Visa. Americans are not free to move into other countries because of restrictions in other countries.

A free marker means that are no barriers to entering a market. The labor market has barriers and thus is not free.

Moron.

So there's an company in India that' willing to pay moving costs to bring an American worker there? Wow...

Funny how it doesn't apply to CEOs....

What!? iPads are made in China with cheap labor, yet have a very high profit margin and are very costly. So no we don't benefit from cheap labor.

Nice try Potsy.

Or you could have read the article...

*sigh* Science is about study. It's not a frame of reference or point of view. It's about asking a question and investigating.

From Merriam Webster's dictionary: http://www.merriam-webster.com...
:knowledge about or study of the natural world based on facts learned through experiments and observation
: a particular area of scientific study (such as biology, physics, or chemistry) : a particular branch of science
: a subject that is formally studied in a college, university, etc.

When a scientist conducts research, their research is published in a peer reviewed journal. No, it's not about being open-minded to all possible explanations - that's utter non-sense. Studies do not have 100 different explanations. They have one. In many ways scientists are adversarial, promoting one hypothesis over another. The correct hypothesis comes out in the research. As more people conduct studies and the data puts to one way or another, you begin to understand which explanations is correct.
