Past studies have examined the link between sleep and stroke, but that research has focused mainly on people with sleep apnea, a disorder that causes interruptions in breathing or shallow breaths during sleep. In one study involving patients with severe sleep apnea (five or more episodes of apnea per hour), researchers found it was "significantly related to a two-fold increased risk of a stroke," says Bernadette Boden-Albala, lead author of the current study and assistant professor of neurology at Columbia University's College of Physicians and Surgeons...
...from its allies, and finding it. At the urging of the Thatcher government, all ten members of the European Community announced an embargo against Argentina on arms and military spare parts. The Europeans also decided to impose a ban on all imports from Argentina (amounting to about $1.76 billion per year) effective this week.

As for liability issues, an internal e-mail message written by Associate Dean of the College Judith...
