...when the study began - and their daytime drowsiness was assessed using a standard sleepiness scale. Of the group, 44% were never-dozers, 47% were sometimes-dozers and 9% were always-dozers. During the follow-up period, the group had 40 strokes and 127 other vascular events, such as heart attack. The data showed not only an increase in stroke risk with excessive daytime sleepiness, but also an increased risk of heart attack and vascular death: compared with well-rested people, moderately sleepy people had a 1.6 times higher risk; for severely sleepy people, the risk was 2.6 times greater...
...group's peers at ISI, such as Rudi Mantofani, Yunizar and Handiwirman Saputra, have gone on to establish reputations as successful young artists, selling works for tens of thousands of dollars.

"Obama and Hillary Clinton can't be serious about leaving Iraq in 12 to 16 months," a well-informed Jordanian said to me. "If you do that, there will be chaos. The Turks will attack the north. The Iranians will take over the south." I pointed out that the same may or may not be true if we leave in 10 ... or 100 years, as John McCain has defiantly suggested. "Yes, you have created quite a mess for us," he said, not quite accurately...
...forces in Iraq. U.S. officials say the cease-fire was a major factor in lowering violence across Iraq, where an ongoing surge of U.S. forces is now focused primarily on fighting Sunni extremists. "I would say it probably caused us about a 15 or 20% decrease in attack levels," said Gen. Raymond Odierno, the ground commander for U.S. troops in Iraq...
