...That morning??cup of coffee might smell better after you get up from bed. It has been shown that lying down can dampen such senses as hearing and spatial perception, and now researchers have found that reclining can also smother your ability to pick up odors. More than 60% of test subjects sniffing rose odor had decreased sensitivity to the smell when recumbent. The phenomenon could be the body's way of turning off potential distractions while you're trying to fall asleep, or it might be the result of fluids that rush through the brain while you're supine...

The PDB, as it is known, is meant to apprise the President of the latest, most crucial intelligence on threats to the nation's security. But the document, which for years has been produced by the CIA, came under much criticism during the investigations of prewar intelligence on Iraq. Now the PDB is in the midst of its biggest reform ever, as the new Director of National...
...Protestant churches, a small but rising number of parishioners look up at the pulpit on Sunday morning???and see a woman. The United Methodist Church has 576 ordained women, up from 332 in 1970, and the United Presbyterian Church has more than 200, compared with 103 in 1972. The Lutheran Church in America, which began ordaining women in 1970, has 27 women in clerical posts...
