| Why can't we sleep?
Physicians like Kram are putting this knowledge to use, making sleep medicine one of the fastest-growing medical specialties over the past decade.The American Academy of Sleep Medicine accredited the first clinical sleep lab in 1977. The idea of community medical centers where patients would be hooked up to monitors while they punched their pillows, snored and dreamed about showing up for college exams naked, grew slowly at first -- by 1996 there were just 300 AASM-accredited sleep centers -- but the concept has exploded in the past decade, resulting in more than 1,000 accredited centers today and many more unaccredited centers.FIVE STAGES OF SLEEP''We used to think that sleep was a dormant period of time, and we're finding out that there are a whole lot of things that go on during sleep,'' says Dr.
Labor Party wins Australian election
My favourite part of the whole evening was Therese Rein's shimmy on stage as our new PM prepared to speak. She copped as big a hiding as anyone did from John Howard's dirt unit over the past year. But with a huge smile she busted a move in a small personal celebration of victory. She shimmied for all of us. Therese repudiated the 'Bomont years'. We can all dance again. It's official ... Therese Rein is the Kevin Bacon of Australian public life. .

Hinckley, the humble leader of the Mormon church who added millions of new members and labored long to burnish the faith's image as a world religion. By Jennifer Dobner. OBAMA: Democrat Barack Obama said Sunday that his landslide win in South Carolina's presidential primary marks a turn in political history, showing that a black candidate can appeal to voters of all colors and in all regions. The Illinois senator told a raucous crowd of more than 9,000 here that his big victory Saturday disproved the old notion "that if you get black votes, you can't get white votes," and vice versa. PRESIDENTIAL CAMPAIGNS: Sens. John McCain and Hillary Rodham Clinton are the leading choices for Missourians who plan to vote in the Feb. 5 primary, according to new polls conducted for the St.
Commerce Center rising at GM site
The Chesapeake Commerce Center, planned as a vast industrial park, is taking shape on the site of General Motors' now demolished auto plant on Baltimore's eastern fringe. The first two warehouse buildings are nearing completion this week, with the first - and so far only - tenant preparing to move in and bring 200 jobs.
Though industrial leasing has slowed in the region, owner Duke Realty Corp. says it still plans to build 2.8 million square feet of warehouse, distribution and office space in 16 buildings on 185 acres at Holabird Avenue and Broening Highway, a site that's served by a rail line and is within sight of cranes at the Seagirt and Dundalk marine terminals at the port of Baltimore.
But Duke said it's unable to project whether the park's completion in five to seven years will bring the more than 3,000 jobs - many of them expected to be port-related - projected by state officials when Duke bought the site two years ago.

Vladimir Putin Interview With Time Magazine
So that's an area in which we really are beginning to take into account each other's interests and achieve long-term solutions. And, unfortunately, wherever we are unable to cope with our political or economic selfishness, we will not find such solutions. But I think that the understanding that we need to behave in precisely this way - taking into account the interests of the international community - is prevailing. And as an example I would point to the meeting on the Middle East that was held in Annapolis. I am deeply convinced that President Bush has taken on an enormous responsibility, and a personal assignment, and I would like to congratulate him. I think that he has done a good thing. This represents a serious step towards resolving one of the most difficult, pressing and long-standing issues in the international arena, namely the Middle Eastern peace settlement.

Then there is the need to confine the disease within the 10-km radius of the area where the birds have been found to be affected. Poultry farmers have to be given adequate compensation. After all, more than 3.75 lakh birds may have to be culled. All these tasks can be accomplished only if the Centre and the state work in tandem. What is more worrying is the fact that this is the third outbreak of bird flu in the country in two years. If it was Maharashtra in February 2006, it was Manipur in July 2007. There is need to go deeply into the reasons for these frequent outbreaks. One possible cause is the insensitivity of the local administration to such developments. For instance, the West Bengal government did issue an alert, which even reached the District Magistrate in time. But personnel of the animal husbandry department just did not act on it.
