The 'anti-Semites' of Europe
Those anti-Semitic Europeans are at it again. In an opinion poll conducted in October, when shown a list of countries and asked "if in your opinion it presents or not a threat to peace in the world", some 59 per cent of European Union citizens polled said that Israel was a danger. "This shocking result... defies logic and is a racist flight of fantasy that only shows that anti-Semitism is deeply embedded within European society, more than at any other period since the end of the war," responded Rabbi Marvin Hier. But, is it really so?
How American Is Europe?
Joshka Fischer Said What? That The U.S. Needs Another Boston Tea Party? Hidden in the depths of this very interesting article by Timothy Garton-Ash, on Europe's misplaced anti-Americanism, is a very interesting revelation from Germany's Green Party-carrying Foreign Minister. To what extent are relations between the pro-American and the anti-American Europe and the United States - the so-called "Old and New Europe" - based on misperceptions? Is Europe, like the Middle East and, well, the whole wide world, too complex for the current U.S. administration to understand? Is it really possible for American foreign to swerve round France and Germany? [Fwiw, my two centimes is that it is.]
Old And In The Way
Old And In The Way. Their economy has lost any resemblance of dynamism, their military might has shrunk to the point of irrelevance, and their society is regressing towards a centrally planned socialist political system. Now with their standard of living dipping below even the poorest sub-group of Americans, is Europe a dying continent, with all its glory days already way behind it? [more inside]

NeoConservatism in a Nutshell
NeoConservatism in a Nutshell! Lately I've been researching the NeoConservative movement and stumbled upon this European website which is by far the best overview I have encountered. Be sure to read the end called The Dangers for Europe. Here is a little tidbit - "What ought to be of concern to Europeans is the fact that Americans are being indoctinated into beliefs which many Europeans (particularly those who are old enough to remember the 1920's and 1930's) would characterise as extremely dangerous.... A country considers itself at war against an ill-defined foreign enemy who threaten its way of life. To protect itself against this enemy, civil liberties are abrogated, arrest and detention without trial are introduced and the state creates a secret police which can spy on citizens and foreigners alike. The state allies itself with big business to protect its way of life and promote national security. Public opinion is manipulated so that dissent from the "national purpose" becomes socially unacceptable. Those are the conditions which Europeans will recognise as the precursors of fascism. "
January Department Store Sales
"There Is Only One Sale" is the traditional January sales slogan of Harrods' department store in London, where the elbow-fest begins next Monday. With disappointing Christmas retail sales being reported more or less everywhere, it looks like the U.S. National Retail Federation's statement "What's going to be crucial now is the week after Christmas" is not the usual BS. Sales in Europe are still month-long extravaganzas where unique bargains can be had. In the U.S. they seem to be more frequent, shorter and somewhat diluted. Assuming you're normal (a stingy, somewhat gullible and opportunistic shopper like the rest of us), what are your post-holiday shopping objectives? Which department stores will you be hitting? Or is it all just a big con?
America vs. Europe
The End of the American Era? Well, at least according to that person. However, this guy says that America is the future, and Europe is the past. Is Europe becoming another Soviet Union? These people have something to say about it. What do you think? 20 years from now, who will be leading the world?
Kashmir...Palestine...Sudetenland?? If you've been suspecting that old territorial squabbles never go away, you're probably right.

Australia and Europe incensed over U.S. lies on free trade Bush: "The final provisions of the farm Bill are also consistent with America's international trade obligations, which will strengthen our ability to open foreign markets for American farm products". In other words, free trade good when we sell to you, bad when you sell to us.

Anti-immigrant parties gain support in Europe
Anti-immigrant parties gain support in Europe as they tap long-standing fears about security and the dilution of national identity. The deep running concern, as in Israel, is that their countries are involuntarily becoming multicultural as guest workers and refugees, mostly Muslim, establish themselves in residence. There are about 15 million Muslims in Europe, making Islam the the continent's largest non-Christian religion. How important is national identity? What would become of democratic values in a Europeann country with Muslim population explosion? How would it affect their economy, as the immigrants are largely unskilled, heavily relying on the welfare system?

Patricia Neighmond Are you getting enough sleep, or not enough? If your answer to either of these questions is "yes," you may be at risk of heart disease. Just the right amount of good-quality sleep is key to good heart health, according to researchers at the Center for Cohort Studies at Kangbuk Samsung Hospital and Sungkyunkwan University School of Medicine in Seoul, South Korea. Poor sleep habits may put you at higher risk for early signs of heart disease, even at a relatively young age. The researchers studied more than 47,000 young and middle-aged men and women, average age around 41, who answered questions about how long and how well they slept. Then they had tests to measure their cardiovascular health. Early coronary lesions were detected by measuring the amount of calcium in the arteries of the heart. Stiffness of arteries was measured by the speed of blood coursing through the arteries in the upper arm and ankle. Calcium buildup and arterial stiffness are two important warning signs of oncoming heart disease. Findings showed that adults who slept less than five hours a night had 50 percent more calcium in their coronary arteries than those who slept seven hours. Those who slept nine hours or more a night had even worse outcomes, with 70 percent more coronary calcium compared to those who slept seven hours. © 2015 NPR

By Sarah Schwartz Darkness and light may help prevent multiple sclerosis or fend off its symptoms. People who genetically produce less vitamin D, a compound normally boosted by sun exposure, have a greater risk of multiple sclerosis, researchers find. But the hormone melatonin, which the body produces in response to darkness, may reduce flare-ups for people who have the disease, another team of scientists reports. The studies may help researchers better understand and treat multiple sclerosis, a disease of the nervous system. It causes symptoms including muscle weakness, pain and vision loss in over 2 million people worldwide. Previous studies linked lower vitamin D levels to higher multiple sclerosis risk, but it was unclear whether this relationship was a coincidence. In work appearing August 25 in PLOS Medicine, scientists examined genetic data from thousands of Europeans and found that three genetic changes known to reduce vitamin D levels were associated with increased multiple sclerosis risk. These findings suggest that individuals with a higher risk of developing the disease, such as immediate family members of multiple sclerosis patients, should take steps to ensure they have sufficient levels of vitamin D, says study coauthor Brent Richards, a genetic epidemiologist at McGill University in Montreal. People can raise vitamin D levels to normal by taking an oral supplement. © Society for Science & the Public 2000 - 2015.

By Melinda Wenner Moyer A worrisome new study caught my eye last week as I perused the website of the journal Pediatrics. It was titled "Cognition and Brain Structure Following Early Childhood Surgery With Anesthesia." Considering that my now 4-year-old underwent general anesthesia for a minor procedure when he was 2 and that my 14-month-old may be a candidate for ear tube surgery, my interest was immediately piqued. I clicked through and came face to face with a whole lot of yuck. The first sentence alone made me gasp: "Anesthetics induce widespread cell death, permanent neuronal deletion, and neurocognitive impairment in immature animals, raising substantial concerns about similar effects occurring in young children." Wait, so anesthesia causes brain damage? Why didn't anyone tell me? I thought. Obviously, I needed to know more. Considering that 6 million American children—including 1.5 million babies under the age of 1—undergo general anesthesia each year, this seemed like a pretty serious issue to delve into. Twenty studies and several phone calls later, I'm feeling a lot better about my kids' brains. There are still many things scientists don't know about how anesthesia affects the nervous system, in part because they can't ethically do the types of experiments that would provide clear answers, like unnecessarily exposing kids to anesthesia. But based on the research that does exist, there's really no need for parents to freak out. If "going under" has an effect on the developing brain, it's likely to be very small. Even Andreas Loepke, the pediatric anesthesiologist at Cincinnati Children's Hospital Medical Center who co-authored the Pediatrics paper, was reassuring to me over the phone. "These are theoretical concerns," he said. © 2015 The Slate Group LLC.

Ian Sample Science editor People who get too little sleep are more likely to catch a cold, according to US scientists who suspect that a good night's sleep is crucial for the body's immune defences. Those who slept six hours a night or less were four times more likely to catch a cold when they were exposed to the virus than people who spent more than seven hours a night asleep, their study found. The findings, reported in the journal Sleep, build on previous studies that suggest that the sleep-deprived are more susceptible to infectious diseases and recover more slowly when they do fall ill. "It goes beyond feeling groggy or irritable," said Aric Prather, a health psychologist at the University of California in San Francisco. "Not getting enough sleep affects your physical health." The scientists recruited 94 men and 70 women, with an average age of 30, for the study and subjected them to two months of health screening, interviews and questionnaires to establish their baseline stress levels, temperament and usage of alcohol and tobacco. The volunteers then spent a week wearing a wrist-mounted sleep sensor that tracked the duration and quality of their sleep each night. To see how well they fought off infections, the participants were taken to a hotel and given nasal drops containing the cold virus. Doctors monitored them closely for a week after, collecting mucus samples to work out if and when the virus took hold. © 2015 Guardian News and Media Limited

By Jessica Schmerler In the modern age of technology it is not uncommon to come home after a long day at work or school and blow off steam by reading an e-book or watching television. Lately, however, scientists have been cautioning against using light-emitting devices before bed. Why? The light from our devices is "short-wavelength-enriched," meaning it has a higher concentration of blue light than natural light—and blue light affects levels of the sleep-inducing hormone melatonin more than any other wavelength. Changes in sleep patterns can in turn shift the body's natural clock, known as its circadian rhythm. Recent studies have shown that shifts in this clock can have devastating health effects because it controls not only our wakefulness but also individual clocks that dictate function in the body's organs. In other words, stressors that affect our circadian clocks, such as blue-light exposure, can have much more serious consequences than originally thought. How did you become interested in the effects of light on sleep? Brainard: I was interested in the effects of light on animals as a teenager. I never planned to be a scientist—I wanted to be a writer! So I learned more about the topic out of pure curiosity. When I began my career as a journalist, I interviewed researchers on the topic who encouraged me to pursue a career in science. So I returned to school to get my doctorate and studied the effects of different wavelengths and intensities of light on rodents. I have exclusively studied the effects of light on humans for the past 30 years. © 2015 Scientific American

By JOAN RAYMOND Rita Gunther McGrath, a Columbia Business School professor, is one of those business travelers who do not care about delays, cancellations or navigating a new location. What does concern her is the seeming inability to conquer jet lag, and the accompanying symptoms that leave her groggy, unfocused and feeling, she says, "like a dishrag." "Jet lag has always been an issue for me," says Ms. McGrath, who has been a business traveler for more than two decades and has dealt with itineraries that take her from New York to New Zealand to Helsinki to Hong Kong all within a matter of days. She has scoured the Internet for "jet lag cures," and has tried preventing or dealing with the misery by avoiding alcohol, limiting light exposure or blasting her body with sunlight and "doing just about anything and everything that experts tell you to do," Ms. McGrath said. "Jet lag is not conducive to the corporate environment," she said. "There has to be some kind of help that actually works for those of us that travel a lot, but I sure can't find it." Although science is closer to understanding the basic biological mechanisms that make many travelers feel so miserable when crossing time zones, research has revealed that, at least for now, there is no one-size fits-all recommendation for preventing or dealing with the angst of jet lag. Recommendations to beat jet lag include adjusting sleep schedules, short-term use of medications to sleep or stay awake, melatonin supplements and light exposure timing, among others, said Col. Ian Wedmore, an emergency medicine specialist for the Army. © 2015 The New York Times Company

Jon Hamilton More than 50 million adults in the U.S. have a disorder such as insomnia, restless leg syndrome or sleep apnea, according to an Institute of Medicine report. And it's now clear that a lack of sleep "not only increases the risk of errors and accidents, it also has adverse effects on the body and brain," according to Charles Czeisler, chief of the division of sleep and circadian disorders at Brigham and Women's hospital in Boston. Research in the past couple of decades has shown that a lack of sleep increases a person's risk for cardiovascular disease, diabetes, infections, and maybe even Alzheimer's disease. Yet most sleep disorders go untreated. Michael Arnott, of Cambridge, Massachusetts, says he used to have terrible trouble staying awake on long drives. Sleep specialists discovered he has obstructive sleep apnea, though not for the most common reasons — he isn't overweight, and doesn't smoke or take sedatives. "I would get groggy and feel like I've got to keep talking, open the window," Arnott says. His wife, Mary White, says being a passenger on those drives could be scary. "All of a sudden there'd be a change in the speed and I'd look over, and his eyes would be starting to close," she remembers. White thought her husband might have sleep apnea, which interferes with breathing. But Arnott was in denial. He figured he was free of most risk factors for apnea. He wasn't overweight, he didn't smoke or take sedatives, and he has always stayed in great shape. So his wife took the initiative. "I asked him to see a doctor and he wouldn't," she says. In 2012, though, White persuaded him to take part in a sleep research study that paid for his participation, and took place at a sleep lab in Boston –not too far from the couple's home in Cambridge. © 2015 NPR

Mo Costandi The human brain can be compared to something like a big, bustling city. It has workers, the neurons and glial cells which co-operate with each other to process information; it has offices, the clusters of cells that work together to achieve specific tasks; it has highways, the fibre bundles that transfer information across long distances; and it has centralised hubs, the densely interconnected nodes that integrate information from its distributed networks. Like any big city, the brain also produces large amounts of waste products, which have to be cleared away so that they do not clog up its delicate moving parts. Until very recently, though, we knew very little about how this happens. The brain's waste disposal system has now been identified. We now know that it operates while we sleep at night, just like the waste collectors in most big cities, and the latest research suggests that certain sleeping positions might make it more efficient. Waste from the rest of the body is cleared away by the lymphatic system, which makes and transports a fluid called lymph. The lymphatic system is an important component of the immune system. Lymph contains white blood cells that can kill microbes and mop up their remains and other cellular debris. It is carried in branching vessels to every organ and body part, and passes through them, via the spaces between their cells, picking up waste materials. It is then drained, filtered, and recirculated. The brain was thought to lack lymphatic vessels altogether, and so its waste disposal system proved to be far more elusive. Several years ago, however, Maiken Nedergaard of the University of Rochester Medical Center and colleagues identified a system of hydraulic "pipes" running alongside blood vessels in the mouse brain. Using in vivo two-photon imaging to trace the movements of fluorescent markers, they showed that these vessels carry cerebrospinal fluid around the brain, and that the fluid enters inter-cellular spaces in the brain tissue, picking up waste on its way. © 2015 Guardian News and Media Limited

By Catherine Saint Louis People who work 55 hours or more per week have a 33 percent greater risk of stroke and a 13 percent greater risk of coronary heart disease than those working standard hours, researchers reported on Wednesday in the Lancet. The new analysis includes data on more than 600,000 individuals in Europe, the United States and Australia, and is the largest study thus far of the relationship between working hours and cardiovascular health. But the analysis was not designed to draw conclusions about what caused the increased risk and could not account for all relevant confounding factors. "Earlier studies have pointed to heart attacks as a risk of long working hours, but not stroke," said Dr. Urban Janlert, a professor of public health at Umea University in Sweden, who wrote an accompanying editorial. "That's surprising." Mika Kivimaki, a professor of epidemiology at University College London, and his colleagues combined the results of multiple studies and tried to account for factors that might skew the results. In addition to culling data from published studies, the researchers also compiled unpublished information from public databases and asked authors of previous work for additional data. Dr. Steven Nissen, the chief of cardiovascular medicine at the Cleveland Clinic, found the methodology unconvincing. "It's based upon exclusively observational studies, many of which were unpublished," and some never peer-reviewed, he said. Seventeen studies of stroke included 528,908 men and women who were tracked on average 7.2 years. Some 1,722 nonfatal and deadly strokes were recorded. After controlling for smoking, physical activity and high blood pressure and cholesterol, the researchers found a one-third greater risk of stroke among those workers who reported logging 55 or more hours weekly, compared with those who reported working the standard 35 to 40 hours. © 2015 The New York Times Company
Helen Thomson Modafinil is the world's first safe "smart drug", researchers at Harvard and Oxford universities have said, after performing a comprehensive review of the drug. They concluded that the drug, which is prescribed for narcolepsy but is increasingly taken without prescription by healthy people, can improve decision- making, problem-solving and possibly even make people think more creatively. While acknowledging that there was limited information available on the effects of long-term use, the reviewers said that the drug appeared safe to take in the short term, with few side effects and no addictive qualities. Modafinil has become increasingly common in universities across Britain and the US. Prescribed in the UK as Provigil, it was licensed in 2002 for use as a treatment for narcolepsy - a brain disorder that can cause a person to suddenly fall asleep at inappropriate times or to experience chronic pervasive sleepiness and fatigue. Used without prescription, and bought through easy-to-find websites, modafinil is what is known as a smart drug - used primarily by people wanting to improve their focus before an exam. A poll of Nature journal readers suggested that one in five have used drugs to improve focus, with 44% stating modafinil as their drug of choice. But despite its increasing popularity, there has been little consensus on the extent of modafinil's effects in healthy, non-sleep-disordered humans. A new review of 24 of the most recent modafinil studies suggests that the drug has many positive effects in healthy people, including enhancing attention, improving learning and memory and increasing something called "fluid intelligence" - essentially our capacity to solve problems and think creatively. © 2015 Guardian News and Media Limited
Your body may be still, but as you dream, your eyes can flicker manically. The rapid eye movement stage of sleep is when we have our most vivid dreams – but do our flickering eyes actually "see" anything? It is a question psychologists have been asking since REM sleep was first described in the 1950s, says Yuval Nir at Tel Aviv University in Israel. "The idea was that we scan an imaginary scene," says Nir. "It's an intuitive idea, but it has been very difficult to provide evidence for it." Until now, much of the evidence has been anecdotal, says Nir. "People who were woken up when their eyes were moving from left to right would say they were dreaming about tennis, for example," he says. More evidence comes from a previous study that monitored the sleep of people who have a disorder that means they often physically act out their dreams. Their eye movements matched their actions around 80 per cent of the time – a man dreaming about smoking, for example, appeared to look at a dream ashtray as he put out a cigarette. But most of the REM sleep these people had was not accompanied by body movements, making it hard to know for sure. And other researchers have argued that the eye flickers can't be linked to "seeing" anything because rapid eye movements happen in both fetuses and people who are blind – neither group would have experience of vision and so wouldn't be expected to move their eyes to follow an object, for example. © Copyright Reed Business Information Ltd.

By Jane E. Brody Barrett Treadway, now 3½, has never been the best of sleepers, but her sleep grew increasingly worse in the last year and a half. She gets up several times a night, often climbs into her parents' bed and creates havoc with their nights. "We've known for a long time that she snores, but until a mother-daughter trip in May when we shared a bed, I didn't realize that this was not simply snoring," her mother, Laura, told me. "She repeatedly stopped breathing, then started again with a loud snort that often woke her up and kept me up all night." Barrett has sleep apnea, a condition most often diagnosed in adults and usually associated with obesity. But neither of those attributes describes Barrett, who is young and lithe, although the condition is somewhat more common in overweight children. In most cases, the problem results when, during sleep, the child's airway is temporarily obstructed by enlarged tonsils or adenoids or both — lymphoid tissues in the back of the throat — hence the name obstructive sleep apnea. When breathing stops for 10 or more seconds, the rising blood level of carbon dioxide prompts the brain to take over and restart breathing, typically accompanied by a loud snore or snort. Rarely, a child may have what is called central sleep apnea, in which the brain temporarily fails to signal the muscles that control breathing. Experts say that between 1 percent and 3 percent of children have sleep apnea that, if untreated, can disrupt far more than a family's restful nights. Affected children simply do not get enough restorative sleep to assure normal development. If not corrected, the condition can result in hyperactivity and attention problems in school that are often mistaken for attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (A.D.H.D.) and sometimes mistreated with a stimulant that only makes matters worse. © 2015 The New York Times Company

By Karen Weintraub Can I ever re-pay my sleep debt? (I estimate it at 15 years of poor sleep.) It is unclear whether you can make up a long-term sleep debt, because most studies have looked at the effects of sleep loss and recovery only over a few nights or weeks, said Dr. Matt T. Bianchi, the chief of the division of sleep medicine at Massachusetts General Hospital and an assistant professor of neurology at Harvard Medical School. Simulated driving performance and reaction times are affected by just one sleepless night, research has shown. There's no doubt that sleeping just four hours a night catches up to people within a few nights, leading to impairments of attention, learning and memory and worse performance in school and at work. And making up for lost sleep over the weekend doesn't work. Five brief nights quickly add up to a shortfall of 20 hours, but people don't sleep more than five to 10 extra hours to compensate, Dr. Bianchi said. "The interpretation has been you can't pay off your sleep debt, you just carry it with you," though it's also possible that people don't sleep an extra 20 hours because they don't need it, Dr. Bianchi said. He cited research by Jim Horne of Loughborough University in Britain showing that a timely nap of less than 20 minutes can equate to an extra hour of nighttime sleep. Different people need somewhat different amounts of sleep, but anything less than six hours a night is definitely not enough, said Dr. Charles Czeisler, a professor of sleep medicine at Harvard. In one sleep study, people were brought into a lab and required to stay in bed for 14 hours a day. They slept 10 to 12 hours a night at first, Dr. Czeisler said. Then they gradually slept less over the next few weeks until they stabilized at about 8.4 hours per night. © 2015 The New York Times Company

By Christie Wilcox Venomous cone snails have been a gift to biomedical researchers. Over the past 50 years, scientists have isolated compounds from these predatory marine animals that do everything from stop pain to protect cells during a heart attack. Now, researchers have isolated a cone snail compound that does something unexpected: It puts mice to sleep. All of these compounds belong to a group of ion channels modifiers known as conotoxins. In the wild, the snails use these toxins for capturing prey, and typically when researchers inject them into mice, the rodents either have no response or become paralyzed. In the new study, published this month in Toxicon, researchers isolated and sequenced 14 novel peptide toxins from the venom of the cobweb cone, Conus araneosus (pictured above with its dissected venom gland). When they injected five of them into mice, one put the rodents to sleep for several hours, whereas the others had no effect. The team says the discovery expands the range of therapeutic uses for conotoxins, and could lead to drugs to treat sleep disorders. © 2015 American Association for the Advancement of Science

by Bethany Brookshire For some of us, a weekly case of the Mondays isn't just because of traffic, work pileups or our soulless office space. It's because we had to get up early, and sleeping in on the weekend was so incredibly glorious. Besides, because we slept in on Sunday, we didn't get to the gym until the afternoon, we cooked a late dinner for a friend and then we couldn't fall asleep at all and so stayed up playing around on the Internet. OK, maybe that's just me. But you get the general idea. Our obligations — work, family and friends — often don't line up with when our bodies want to sleep. Scientists call this phenomenon social jetlag. And it may make for more than just miserable Mondays. Social jetlag may also be associated with wider waistlines. As we learn more about how our body clocks work, it might help to think about how our own schedules can shift. Some of us love late nights and can't help glaring at those who hop out of bed for a 5 a.m. workout (again, maybe that's just me). But in fact our chronotypes aren't a result of willpower. Instead they fall in a natural curve. About two-thirds of people are neutral, but a few fall at each end of the spectrum, rising extra early, or staying up until the wee hours. But even those in the middle are still getting up a little bit too early and staying up a little bit too late. We try to make up for it on days off, sleeping in or falling asleep early for a few extra hours of rest. But the result of that shift in sleep schedule? Jetlag. "It's the equivalent of taking a flight one direction every Friday and going back every Sunday," says Michael Parsons, a behavioral geneticist at the Medical Research Council Harwell in England. © Society for Science & the Public 2000 - 2015
By James Gallagher Health editor, BBC News website Irregular sleeping patterns have been "unequivocally" shown to lead to cancer in tests on mice, a study suggests. The report, in Current Biology, lends weight to concerns about the damaging impact of shift work on health. The researchers said women with a family risk of breast cancer should never work shifts, but cautioned that further tests in people were needed. The data also indicated the animals were 20% heavier despite eating the same amount of food. Studies in people have often suggested a higher risk of diseases such as breast cancer in shift workers and flight attendants. One argument is disrupting the body's internal rhythm - or body clock - increases the risk of disease. However, the link is uncertain because the type of person who works shifts may also be more likely to develop cancer due to factors such as social class, activity levels or the amount of vitamin D they get. Mice prone to developing breast cancer had their body clock delayed by 12 hours every week for a year. Normally they had tumours after 50 weeks - but with regular disruption to their sleeping patterns, the tumours appeared eight weeks earlier. The report said: "This is the first study that unequivocally shows a link between chronic light-dark inversions and breast cancer development." Interpreting the consequences for humans is fraught with difficulty, but the researchers guesstimated the equivalent effect could be an extra 10kg (1st 8lb) of body weight or for at-risk women getting cancer about five years earlier. "If you had a situation where a family is at risk for breast cancer, I would certainly advise those people not to work as a flight attendant or to do shift work," one of the researchers, Gijsbetus van der Horst, from the Erasmus University Medical Centre, in the Netherlands, said. © 2015 BBC.

Austin Frakt It's a Catch-22 that even those with a common cold experience: Illness disrupts sleep. Poor sleep makes the symptoms of the illness worse. What's true for a cold also holds for more serious conditions that co-occur with insomnia. Depression, post-traumatic stress disorder, alcohol dependence, fibromyalgia, cancer and chronic pain often give rise to insomnia, just as sleeplessness exacerbates the symptoms of these diseases. Historically, insomnia was considered a symptom of other diseases. Today it is considered an illness in its own right and recognized as an amplifier of other mental and physical ailments. When a person is chronically tired, pain can be more painful, depression deeper, anxiety heightened. What should doctors address first, insomnia or the co-occurring condition? How about both at the same time? A new study suggests that a therapy that improves sleep also reduces symptoms of other illnesses that often disrupt it. The study published in JAMA Internal Medicine examined the effect of cognitive behavioral therapy for insomnia in patients with serious mental and physical conditions. As its name suggests, C.B.T.-I. is a treatment that works through the mind. As I wrote about a few weeks ago, the therapy treats insomnia without medications, combining good sleep hygiene techniques with more consistent wake times, relaxation techniques and positive sleep attitudes and thoughts. Several clinical trials have shown that C.B.T.-I. provides as good or better relief of symptoms of insomnia than prescription drugs, with improvements in sleep that are more durable. C.B.T.-I. can usually be delivered relatively inexpensively through an online course costing about $40. Compared with those who didn't receive C.B.T.-I., patients who did increased the time asleep in bed by about 12 percentage points, fell asleep about 25 minutes faster and decreased the amount of time awake in the middle of the night by about 45 minutes, according to Jade Wu, lead study author and a Boston University doctoral student in psychology. © 2015 The New York Times Company

By Tori Rodriguez Many studies have examined the effects of sufficient versus insufficient sleep on mental health. A new study, published in February in the Journal of Youth and Adolescence, takes a more nuanced look, attempting to determine just how much each hour less per night really costs—where teenagers are concerned. The researchers surveyed an ethnically diverse sample of 27,939 suburban high school students in Virginia. Although teenagers need about nine hours of sleep a night on average, according to the National Institutes of Health, only 3 percent of students reported getting that amount, and 20 percent of participants indicated that they got five hours or less. The average amount reported was 6.5 hours every weekday night. After controlling for background variables such as family status and income, the researchers determined that each hour of lost sleep was associated with a 38 percent increase in the odds of feeling sad and hopeless, a 42 percent increase in considering suicide, a 58 percent increase in suicide attempts and a 23 percent increase in substance abuse. These correlational findings do not prove that lack of sleep is causing these problems. Certainly the reverse can be true: depression and anxiety can cause insomnia. "But the majority of the research evidence supports the causal direction being lack of sleep leading to problems rather than the other way around," says study co-author Adam Winsler, a psychology professor at George Mason University. © 2015 Scientific American

Tina Hesman Saey The Earth has rhythm. Every 24 hours, the planet pirouettes on its axis, bathing its surface alternately in sunlight and darkness. Organisms from algae to people have evolved to keep time with the planet's light/dark beat. They do so using the world's most important timekeepers: daily, or circadian, clocks that allow organisms to schedule their days so as not to be caught off guard by sunrise and sunset. A master clock in the human brain appears to synchronize sleep and wake with light. But there are more. Circadian clocks tick in nearly every cell in the body. "There's a clock in the liver. There's a clock in the adipose [fat] tissue. There's a clock in the spleen," says Barbara Helm, a chronobiologist at the University of Glasgow in Scotland. Those clocks set sleep patterns and meal times. They govern the flow of hormones and regulate the body's response to sugar and many other important biological processes (SN: 4/10/10, p. 22). Having timekeepers offers such an evolutionary advantage that species have developed them again and again throughout history, many scientists say. But as common and important as circadian clocks have become, exactly why such timepieces arose in the first place has been a deep and abiding mystery. Many scientists favor the view that multiple organisms independently evolved their own circadian clocks, each reinventing its own wheel. Creatures probably did this to protect their fragile DNA from the sun's damaging ultraviolet rays. But a small group of researchers think otherwise. They say there had to be one mother clock from which all others came. That clock evolved to shield the cell from oxygen damage or perhaps provide other, unknown advantages. © Society for Science & the Public 2000 - 2015

Additional Verifiable Sources Needed and Contradictions[edit]
Re. major edit on 14th April 2010 - if article is written using research for new book, can we please cite sources and/or name published book? Many of the major claims/facts in this article are unsubstantiated or lack any sources. Some of the quotes used that do cite a source do not add to article or state fact, and whilst it could be argued are descriptive are not informative.
Article is contradictory: Britpop origins are early 90s and club did not start until 1995 and "indie/dance" is not commonly noted as part of the Britpop scene. Links to another club (Blow Up) to substantiate this claim, yet linked page does not reference this one and no source provided for claim as clubs being related. Please provide sources to back claims in article eg. Popscene is related to Britpop; the named bands that attended the club; the DJs for the club were "the first successul DJs to move from vinyl to CD"; or that club is as culturally important as "The Hacienda, Blitz amd Wigan Casino" (these clubs were related to particular scenes, ie. late 80s Manchester/dance scene, New Romantic and Northern Soul respectively. Need to cite independently verifiable source outside of a radio phone-in to verify clubs' relation to a scene and/or its cultural significance). Piley1 (talk) 14:33, 29 September 2010 (UTC)
- Agree that this article needs a tidy up/copy edit and some verifiable sources, but I'm not seeing that it self contradicts. "Britpop origins in early 90s" is not mentioned in the article and nothing about "indie/dance" not being part of the britpop scene. I've removed the flag, and added some more appropriate ones.

Lyric Theatre, Brooklyn, NY
Located at 1171 DeKalb Avenue, Bushwick, Brooklyn, New York. The Lyric Theatre was built as a movie theatre and opened in January 1914. It only operated for a short period of time as it was eclipsed by the adjacent DeKalb Theatre/Casino Theatre which was a live theatre but became a movie theatre operated by Loew's.
The Lyric possibly closed in around 1920 and was converted into a garage. Today, the building is in use by a carpet workshop and although stripped of all internal decoration, it still retains the sloping floor from its movie days.

TAB: Jonas Brothers Split Because of Joe's Girlfriend Blanda Eggenschwiler
Star magazine claims the real reason the Jonas Brothers broke up was because of Blanda Eggenschwiler.
According to the tabloid, brothers Kevin and Nick "are blaming Joe's downward spiral on the bad influence of his girlfriend… and they want her gone."
A so-called "insider" for the magazine is quoted as saying, "She rubs them the wrong way."
Very interesting… but entirely WRONG.
On Wednesday, the brothers discussed the band splitting up on "Good Morning America," and noted they wanted to pursue "individual things," including working on music for themselves, acting, and focusing on the "business side" of the entertainment industry.
Eggenschwiler was never mentioned.
Still, Gossip Cop checked into the story with a source close to the brothers and was told the Star tale is "entirely untrue."

Having an RDP access enabled for a production VM seems like a huge security hole, so I'd like to disable it as soon as an OS is installed and SSH access is configured.
I've tried
VBoxManage modifyvm "myvm" --vrdp off
VBoxManage modifyvm "myvm" --vrdp=off
but anyway when I then
VBoxHeadless --startvm "myvm"
The VM starts up with VRDP active. The only working way to disable VRDP I've found is starting the VM with "--vrdp=off" as a starting command parameter like
VBoxHeadless --startvm "myvm" --vrdp=off
But can I save this choice? For a simple
VBoxHeadless --startvm "myvm"
to start without an RDP server?
PS: By the way, what does the letter 'V' in VRDP mean?
UPDATE: A silly thing I've asked about V :-] obvious that it stands for "virtual". The actual idea I meant asking this is how does it differ from the standard RDP, or is it exactly the same protocol and only a marketing trick to add the V.

This is an awesome bean recipe. You just throw them in a crockpot and forget them. They smell wonderful cooking and taste even better. I did add a little cornstarch and water to thicken (just personal preference). My husband took one bite and said I should make them when his mother comes to visit. High praise indeed! I will definitely make these over and over again. Thank you for the recipe.
Note that dried beans cooked with tomatoes from the beginning will be tough - calcium or acid of any kind causes the outside of the bean to stay tough. The way to get around this is to do as some commenters have mentioned - precook the beans by themselves (overnight), then add the other recipe ingredients and cook for the duration mentioned in the recipe. Crockpots don't come to the same high heat as the stovetop. Unsoaked beans cooked only on low may never get tender.
I was thrilled to find this recipe just after I received a new crockpot for Christmas! This tasted wonderful even after I overcooked it a tad (no need to thicken anything!) Absolutely delicious!!
Deeeeelicious! I used Pace picante sauce and used all the seasonings as per the recipe. I soaked the beans all afternoon and then cooked the beans on low overnight. We enjoyed them for lunch served over fresh cooked rice, topped with fresh salsa, grated cheddar cheese and minced onion. DH has requested that I make this meal once a week. So healthy and delicious, just loved it. Thanks for posting the recipe.
Very easy and tasty. I doubled the recipe and added the uncooked rice at the beginning with extra water. Had to cook on high for 6 hrs before beans and rice were done.
I have tried other bean recipes and they've been okay. And this is not perfect but I got great taste with that lovely creamy texture. I think 1/2 t. pepper is too much for me. I will take that down to 1/4 t. next time. I love cumin and think I will go up to a full tsp on that. And I used red beans because I didn't have any pintos. I probably dumped closer to 3/4 c picante sauce into the beans. When i read the recipe, a first thought was that I did not think unsoaked beans would cook in 3 hours, so unlike others I did not make the finish time critical and wasn't unhappy. My red beans were tender and yummy after about 5 hours. (they are a smaller bean than the pintos, I'd say.) I used 1 T of Penzey's medium chili powder. I often cut back on recipes that call for chili powder because it is pretty competent chili powder, but this was a whole pound of beans and I thought that would work out okay and it seemed to. I like bay leaves and kept all three. I think that gets you a more complex flavor and I am excited to see how they will taste tomorrow. I have some Penzey's Chipotle powder and I might try a bit of that because smoky heat sounds like it could be good here. Great recipe. Update: This really has become my go to recipe and I use it for all kinds of beans though if it's chick peas or white kidney beans, I don't use the chili powder or the Picante Sauce. I use the bay leaf "faithfully" and may just add thyme or something like that. Trying to add fiber to my diet and I often will cook these over night and then I have beans in my fridge. Tasty and versatile.
This is a great recipe but cooking pinto beans in the slow cooker takes a long time. I doubled the recipe and it took about 12 hours to get the beans soft. I left out the picante sauce for most of the time so the beans did not get tough. Even then it took way too long. I also put the cooked rice in too soon so by the time the beans were soft the rice nearly dissolved. Even after all that, it was still a nice flavorful dish. Next time I will cook the beans ahead and add all the ingredients (except rice) for the last 3 hours and the rice right at the end just to get it hot.
I know, we hate it when people tweak a recipe and then rate it; but sometimes it's necessary. I had no picante or salsa--so I used a Tbs of tomato paste & a Tbs of hot chili sauce. I used chicken stock rather then water--more flavor. I added 1/2 cup of dry basamati rice to the beans the last hour along with a can of stewed tomatoes. Nothing but enhancement to a wonderful recipe! Topped with a little cheddar cheese and sour cream, loved it!
I made this on the stove top and it is pretty good but didn't love it. Will keep but maybe add some onions or something next time. It needed a little sometime more to make it really great. Thanks for posting!
Mine were not even close to being done in 3 hours and I even went ahead and soaked them for 12 hours prior to cooking - they took about 6 hours on high. I ended up doubling the amount of salsa and all of the spices. Good beans in the end!

I really enjoy your plugin, it is perfect for what I need. However, I also want the forum users on my site to be able to use the TinyMCE editor as it is more familiar to people.
When I activate "bbPress Enable TinyMCE Visual Tab" with "TinyMCE Advanced" it kills the "quote" button function on your plugin. I really would like to have the quote button you have created because a forum just isn't a forum without one. But at the same time I want the TinyMCE editor as well.
I wrote the plugin author of "bbPress Enable TinyMCE Visual Tab" and he said, "You will want to contact the plugin author for that particular plugin and see if they can investigate about having their scripts load on the front end of the site (in addition to the back end)."
Is it possible to have both features working together? Or is there some other form of work-around that I haven't found. I have been looking for a solution for about a week now. Thanks in advance!

Owner of Vt. oil pipeline seeks ruling re-doMay 15,2013
The Associated Press
MONTPELIER — The owner of a crude oil pipeline that runs between Maine and Montreal is asking Vermont environmental regulators to reconsider a ruling that would require a new review under the state's land use law if the company seeks to move Canadian tar sands oil in the pipeline.
Last month, Vermont's District 7 Environmental Commission determined the Portland Pipeline Corp. would need a new Act 250 land-use permit if it proposes to move Canadian tar sands oil through an existing pipeline between Montreal and Portland.
The decision said changing the use of the pipeline would represent a significant change to the existing pipeline and so warrant a new review.
In its request, dated Tuesday, the pipeline company says it has no plans to convert the pipeline to carry tar sands oil.MORE IN This Just InPHILADELPHIA First lady Michelle Obama stepped into the presidential election Monday with a... Full Story

Using 4.06 YARRP and WP 3.51. It worked until a couple of days ago. Suddenly it stopped working. It does not cache, or if it does cache, it self deletes the cache.
Using 4.06 YARRP and WP 3.51. It worked until a couple of days ago. Suddenly it stopped working. It does not cache, or if it does cache, it self deletes the cache.
Really sorry to hear about this. :( Are there no displays of YARPP at all, including "no related posts", or is it saying "no related posts" all the time?
Thank you for your message.
The words "No Related Posts" shows up some times. Some times the pages display the "Related Posts" and the appropriate pages are listed.
The posts some times display an unrelated "Related Post:" of the support page or some other page, but no posts show related.
I have all the categories checked in the pool and all things are set to consider. I even lowered the threshold to two thinking it might pick up posts then.
Today the cache is at 95.83%, but next time I look it might be zero or some other random number. Also, if you make any changes, as I just did, the cache deletes itself. If you click "Build Cache" it always responds with "Cached 0%" and "Try Again". But, if you refresh the browser, it tells you how much is really cached, which is now at 90%.
If you change relatedness settings, the cache will necessarily have to clear. That's expected.
I would even try lowering the match threshold to 0 or 1, just to make sure that you can get *some* results.
Thank you for looking at this. I tried setting the threshold to "1" and to "0" with the same results. Even at threshold set to "1" or "0" it only finds pages (not posts) to "relate". It does not find any posts at all.
What can I change to get it to consider posts as well as pages?
Oh, I should note that the "display options" have the appropriate boxes checked for "pages and posts". I tried unchecking the boxes for pages and media to only give it the option for the posts, but that did not work. It still shows pages instead of posts.
My guess then is that your pages are actually legitimately coming out as more relevant always than your posts, though I don't know why that would be. Either try turning off "Display results from all post types" option, or try adding some more tags in common between your posts so that they show up.

Hi there - I need to change a category on my site from deals to shop, and I'm not sure what I need to do when I make this change to best direct visitors to the new category. Should I use a canonical URL for this or a 301 redirect? The only thing that will be changing is the category, but since it's part of quite a few post URLs, I want to do this right.
Thanks in advance for your help!

Skip to comments.Rare and Aggressive H.I.V. Reported in New York
Posted on 02/11/2005 11:29:28 PM PST by neverdem
click here to read article
yeah but Mother Nature also takes out innocent victims on this one, like the spouses who don't realize their husbands or wives are fucking around on them with infected people, nor it is fair to children born of AIDS infected mothers, often again infected by their sleazy husbands, look at Africa, in cultures where women cannot refuse their husband sex or they get beaten up, let alone insisting he wears a condom or where women are routinely raped...
I don't know that you can say AIDS is just a gay disease
it seems that AIDS's genesis was in Africa and you have two strains, one in West Africa which was always a milder strain, and almost exclusively a heterosexual virus, and one in East Africa which is the strain that has made its way around the world because of a highly mobile gay community
my understanding is that anal sex is the common denominator and anal sex is more prevalent in African sexual behaviour, heterosexual and homosexual and of course using condoms is still practically non existent,
but I could be admittedly way off base
"Actually, it goes farther back than that. I saw a documentary recently which presented a pretty compelling case that the HIV virus jumped species from chimpanzees through a particular oral polio imunization effort in Africa in the 1950's."
Interesting. See if you can find the link for this one.

By Ralph Hipp
Kansas is on the verge of becoming the 20th state to ban texting while our drivers are behind the wheel. Not just for the new teenaged drivers, but for all of us. Even with a $400 million pothole in the budget to repair, this one's a no-brainer. Americans are texting while they're driving, and in some cases, people are being killed by the carelessness.
That does not take away from the importance of instant communication with social media during the school or business day. That's why the Department of Transportation should take my idea to heart, while our highway construction program is on hold for a few years.
Build "text stops" along our major highways.
I would absolutely pull off to the side of the road if I felt I had to text someone during my drive to work. I'm envisioning something exactly like the photo-taking stop at the Scenic Overlook on Bill Snyder Highway leading into Manhattan. Maybe if enough of us text our lawmakers, we could add these temporary stops to some of our highways before Kansas drivers are injured or killed in some serious crashes. If the state is banning texting, can you at least give us this? Are you with me? Ralph

A Night in the Box
Echoing an intense, deep country blues, A Night in the Box has in a few short years gone from being a spare time project for a group of high-school friends to one of the most unique and soulful bands in the Twin Cities. In 2008, the group released its second studio album via Afternoon Records, Write a Letter. Songs such as "Rich Man's Table" and "The Garden" hint at the band's ability to stomp a hole though the floor with its dirty-water bluegrass and electric bottle-neck growl. But that's just itthe album only hints at the band's energy, when in fact it's A Night in the Box's live act that truly showcases the emotion and youthful enthusiasm that its members have for their songs. With the Minneapolis Henrys, Lucy Michelle & the Velvet Lapelles.

Sweet-&-Sour Chicken Drumsticks
From EatingWell: July/August 2007

- 1/2 teaspoon freshly grated orange zest
- 1/4 cup orange juice
- 1/4 cup water
- 3 tablespoons honey
- 1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon cider vinegar, divided
- 1/2 teaspoon salt, divided
- 1/4 teaspoon ground coriander
- 1 teaspoon cornstarch
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh mint
- 8 chicken drumsticks, (about 2 pounds), skin removed, trimmed
- 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
- Preheat grill to medium. (No grill? See Broiler Variation, below.)
- To prepare dipping sauce, combine orange zest, orange juice, water, honey, 1 tablespoon vinegar, 1/4 teaspoon salt and coriander in a small saucepan; bring to a boil. Whisk cornstarch and the remaining 1 teaspoon vinegar in a small bowl until smooth. Add to the saucepan and return to a boil, whisking until thickened, 30 seconds to 1 minute. Remove from the heat. Stir in mint.
- Sprinkle drumsticks with the remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt and pepper. Oil the grill rack (see Tip). Grill the drumsticks until crispy on all sides and an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part registers 165°F, about 15 minutes total. Serve the drumsticks with the dipping sauce on the side. Broiler variation: Position oven rack in the upper third of the oven; preheat broiler to high. Prepare sauce (Step 2). Coat a broiler pan with cooking spray. Sprinkle drumsticks with salt and pepper (Step 3), then broil, turning once, until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part registers 165°F, about 15 minutes total.
Tips & Notes
- To oil the grill rack: Oil a folded paper towel, hold it with tongs and rub it over the rack. (Don't use cooking spray on a hot grill.)

Salted Butter Pecan Martini
Salted Butter Pecan Martini, Written By David Edessa
Check out all of David's FANTASTIC cocktail party recipes! Find the perfect one for any occasion.
Many years ago a friend turned me on to dipping salted potato chips into soft pecan ice cream. I was reluctant to try at first, however, the salt and sweetness of the ice cream made me a fan. This Salted Butter Pecan Martini recipe is reminiscent of that taste for me…enjoy!!! 🙂
Salted Butter Pecan Martini recipe:
- 1 oz. Van Gogh Vanilla Vodka ( your favorite brand will due in a Vanilla Vodka)
- ¾ oz. Butterscotch Schnapps
- ¾ oz. Frangelico Liqueur
- ½ oz. Baileys Caramel
- 1 oz. Heavy Cream
- Torani Salted Caramel syrup
Glass Prep Instructions:
Place martini glass in freezer for 15 minutes to half an hour. Pour the caramel syrup into a shallow plate and in another plate crushed candied pecans. Then, dip the rim of a chilled martini glass into the plate with the caramel syrup and then dip the chilled glass into the plate with the crushed candied pecans. When done place prepped glass on parchment paper for easy release and place in freezer until ready to use.
If you feel you need more of a salted rim. Try the following rimmer mix along with the crushed candied pecans.
Rimmer Mix Instructions:
- ½ cup turbinado sugar
- ½ cup crushed Maldon sea salt
- ¼ cup crushed candied pecans
Place all liquid ingredients in a shaker tin (except syrup) with ice. Shake vigorously for at least 20-30 seconds or tin is frosted. Pour ingredients into prepped glass.

A group of Russian Cossacks has set off on a symbolic horseback 'march to Paris' to mark the 200th anniversary of the start of their ancestors' pursuit of Napoleon's Grand Army back to the French capital following its defeat at the hands of Russian forces.
The 23 horse-riders will pass through Belarus, Lithuania, Poland, Germany and France before reaching Fontainebleau in Paris on October 19th.
