| Male insomniacs likely to die early |
男性失眠或致早亡 |
| Men with severe insomnia are four times more likely to suffer an early death, a new study conducted by Penn State College of Medicine and published in the journal Sleep has found, the Daily Telegraph reports. Researchers followed 741 late middle-aged men over a 14 year period, and found that those who suffered from the condition were 4.3 times more likely to have died over that period than the others. Men who had hypertension or type 2 diabetes were seven times more likely to have died. There was no increase in mortality among women with chronic insomnia. |

| IBM works on medical records |
IBM致力于建立電子病歷 |

Other personal items in the display include playing cards and lace. Not all the underwear belongs to her; some was donated by friends. The paintings on display in San Diego will range in value from US$5,000 to $25,000. Salazar said many of the pieces have already been sold and scarcity is driving up the prices of the rest. |
據美國在線報道，9月24日，藝術家納塔莎?祖潘將在圣地亞哥的亞歷山大?薩拉澤畫廊開一場內衣畫展。她10年前就曾在紐約的一家畫廊開過這樣的畫展，不過在9?11之后就關門了。祖潘用乳膠和石膏將內衣固定在木頭和帆布上作畫，有時候也會用到紙牌﹑緞帶等私人小玩意。當然，并不是所有的內衣都是她自己的，有些是朋友們捐贈給她的。報道稱，即將在圣地亞哥展出的畫作能賣到5000至25000美元不等，而薩拉澤畫廊方面則表示尚不確定，因為很多作品已被買走，到時候畫作稀缺就會漲價。
