...work, it don't work." JOSEPH L. CLARK, Ohio death-row inmate, after his executioners struggled for half an hour to find a noncollapsed vein in which to inject a lethal dose of drugs...
...something is stirring here in provincial Russia, a three-hour drive from Moscow. The potholes on Lenin Street are as treacherous as ever, but over the past couple of years the dreary Soviet-era stores that once lined it have been snapped up and remodeled. Waitresses in red tartan aprons now dish out edible pizza for $1 a slice at Tashir's shiny new restaurant, which also offers wireless Internet access. Nearby are a sushi bar, a kitchen-design store, a café that bears a passing resemblance to Starbucks, a bright yellow mobile-phone kiosk that's open 24 hours...
...study was small, with just 36 volunteers, but rigorous and well designed. Researchers housed each participant in a soundproof room with dim lighting, no windows and no hint of real time. For most of the four-week study, the volunteers were kept on strict 20-hour cycles of sleep and wakefulness. The "forced desynchrony" was intended to throw the body's 24-hour clock out of whack, according to the study's lead author, James Wyatt, while mimicking the off-hour sleep-wake cycle that shift workers and jet-lagged travelers often struggle with. Every "night" of the study...

Her program, Daily Life Therapy, is more like Floortime than like ABA (see "A Tale of Two Schools") but takes its own unique approach. The first step is to get the child to develop a 24-hour rhythm through intense physical exercise. For example, a lot of autistic kids will eat only a few select foods, and many have difficulty sleeping through the night. At Higashi the kids jog twice a day on the theory that come mealtime, they'll be hungry enough to try new foods...
