...overall and significantly less quality sleep than infants in the U.S. But the differences, upon further analysis of the data, were somewhat more nuanced. When Mindell and her fellow researchers examined data on babies in Asia who slept alone, the quality and duration of their sleep were just as low as babies who co-slept with parents...

The new bill, which passed in the House in April, includes tough new restrictions on advertising like allowing only black-and-white text ads in magazines with substantial youth readerships, mandates that manufacturers prove or stop using claims like "light" and "low tar," bans flavored cigarettes (except menthol) and makes provisions for large, graphic warning labels.

For instance, the Georgelas Group is planning to scrap the car dealership and other low-rise buildings sitting on the 20 or so acres it owns in Tysons to create a mixed-use development near a soon-to-be-built train station. Aaron Georgelas, the group's managing partner, is happy to donate land to the street grid, since the county will allow him to build higher because of it. He also knows that tearing down revenue-generating buildings to put up new ones - even...
