I've never used the sleep tracker. I'm afraid of what it might show. - Katy S
so effen jealous. mine stays in the 74%. once it went up to 87% but i had taken an ambien that night. - Lnorigb
How are you tracking this? I'm interested. - Brian Johns
Brian, FitBit. - Derrick
Before you go to sleep, you long press the button on the fitbit to start the timer. When you wake up, you long press again to stop. It'll keep track of movement during that time to guess your sleep efficiency. - Rodfather
Amazing piece of technology. - AJ Batac :)
how does it know when you actually fall asleep??? (do you know how much money I had to spend to have a sleep clinic tell me these things?? and how many electrodes??) - RudĩϐЯaЯïan
It knows when you stopped moving - even small restless motions - and calls that "asleep". It then puts red spikes in every time you move in the night, on the assumption that sleeping people don't actually move. - Jenica
key word in Rodfathers comment, "guess." - Lnorigb
You can move during non-REM sleep, but you shouldn't be able to move during REM sleep (although people with certain parasomnias obviously do), and the assumption is that the longer you're in REM, the better quality your sleep is. - Victor Ganata
It seems that even if the world is caving in around me (and the past couple weeks have been particularly stressful), I can still get a relatively good night's sleep. - Derrick
Heap of shit IMHO. Mine died after a month - Mo Kargas

Va. House GOP Muscles Through Abortion Curbs - ABC News
"A Republican supermajority has muscled two of the most restrictive anti-abortion bills in years through the Virginia House, including one that would all but outlaw the procedure in the state by declaring that the rights of persons apply from the moment sperm and egg unite. The bills passed over bitter yet futile objections from Democrats. And one GOP delegate caused the House to ripple when he said most abortions come as "matters of lifestyle convenience." Del. Bob Marshall's House Bill 1 on personhood at conception passed on a 66-32 vote. And on a 63-36 vote, the House passed a bill that requires women to have a "transvaginal ultrasound" before undergoing abortions." - Anika from Bookmarklet
"The ultrasound legislation would constitute an unprecedented government mandate to insert vaginal ultrasonic probes into women as part of a state-ordered effort to dissuade them from terminating pregnancies, legislative opponents noted. "We're talking about inside a woman's body," Del. Charnielle Herring, a Democrat, said in an emotional floor speech. "This is the first time, if we pass this bill, that we will be dictating a medical procedure to a physician."" - Anika
The same group OF MEN who have been whining that their "religious freedom" is being trampled on by allowing a woman to taking birth control are now saying that government should regulate your body. As long as it's a female body. Keep in mind they soundly rejected amendment that men asking for Viagra should be forced to have rectal exams (http://thinkprogress.org/health...). - Anika
This is so infuriating. - Katy S
It's disgusting and vile and as long as the men and women of Virginia...or any state sit there, thinking that it will never affect them, these people will continue with their contorted brand of Sharia Law. - Anika
It's a disgrace. - John (bird whisperer)

Socially Responsible Investing Does Not Mean Lower Returns
The first step in seeking out an SRI option is to consider your personal "screens." There are negative screens and positive screens, and it's up to each fund how it defines its screens. Positive screens identify companies with progressive practices, such as established renewable energy programs. Negative screens exclude companies with destructive practices, such as those with poor human records or weak labor standards. Source: Daily Worth (http://s.tt/12M2d) - t.

Oh Holy Crap @ WoW's Iron Man Challenge
Players across Azeroth have recently embraced a new, very personal achievement: leveling a character "Iron Man" style. What started out as only a small movement, this bare bones, no-frills style of play has now transformed into a community-wide call-to-arms known as the Iron Man WoW Challenge, inviting World of Warcraft enthusiasts to see how close they can get to level cap with only the barest of necessities. The goal of the Iron Man WoW challenge is simple: reach level 85. The catch, however, is that you must accomplish this task without the assistance of talents, class specialization, stat-improved gear, professions, buffs, item enhancements, or other players. And if you die? Well, then it’s back to square one. Here are some of the latest rules: THE BIG ONE: If you die, EVER, that character is removed from the challenge. [...] - Chris Topher
There is no way I would attempt this on a PVP server - Chris Topher
They should make a server that handles this. No buffing of strangers, no dungeons/raids/battlegrounds/arenas, obviously no PvP. If you die, the character gets reset to level one, and inventory is lost. - Jimminy, CoG of FF
Jimminy: also: no heals (except self-heals), no transfer of money / items between players (directly or by mail), no grouping, and the only player who can damage a target is the player who tapped it (and will get xp credit for the kill). - Tudor Bosman

Urinary tract infections linked to… chicken?
  
While it sounds bizarre, studies from Canadian researchers show that stricter chicken-farm ani-contamination practices may help curb cases of urinary tract infections. In 2010, researchers showed that the most common cause of the infections — E. coli bacteria — can originate in food. In a study published Wednesday, the authors show that chicken is the likely culprit.
 The scientists, led by Amee R. Manges of McGill University, tested 320 samples of beef, pork and chicken. They found that the bacteria from beef and pork were far less likely to be genetically related to human urinary tract infection bacteria strains than chicken, which were closely related.

Controversy! Higher patient satisfaction linked to poorer patient outcomes? http://archinte.ama-assn.org/cgi... see also @ashishkjha

"Jobs said the site is currently 20 percent landscape checkered with parking lots. Landscape would increase 350 percent, visible parking would decrease by 90 percent, and building footprint would decrease by 30 percent, he said. http://news.cnet.com/8301-13... - The original Kevin
In the renders, it looks to me like there's quite a bit of dense foliage. Dunno whether it's apricots or not.

"Shen Kuo or Shen Gua (Chinese: 沈括; pinyin: Shěn Kuò; Wade–Giles: Shen K'uo) (1031–1095), style name Cunzhong (存中) and pseudonym Mengqi (now usually given as Mengxi) Weng (夢溪翁),[1] was a polymathic Chinese scientist and statesman of the Song Dynasty (960–1279). Excelling in many fields of study and statecraft, he was a mathematician, astronomer, meteorologist, geologist, zoologist, botanist, pharmacologist, agronomist, archaeologist, ethnographer, cartographer, encyclopedist, general, diplomat, hydraulic engineer, inventor, academy chancellor, finance minister, governmental state inspector, poet, and musician." - Eivind from Bookmarklet

That's a useful term I was unaware of. Thanks, Shawn :) - Eivind
no problemo, that reminds me I should update my Goodreads - The Real sofarsoShawn
Yes, thanks, Shawn. Pull quote: "Ressentiment is a reassignment of the pain that accompanies a sense of one's own inferiority/failure onto an external scapegoat. The ego creates the illusion of an enemy, a cause that can be "blamed" for one's own inferiority/failure. Thus, one was thwarted not by a failure in oneself, but rather by an external "evil." http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki... - Micah
My mind is blown that they had the gall to put together a panel like this, ALL FREAKING MALE, to discuss something that affects WOMEN'S health.

People forage for memories in the same way birds forage for berries - http://www.sciencedaily.com/release...
"Humans move between ‘patches’ in their memory using the same strategy as bees flitting between flowers for pollen or birds searching among bushes for berries." - Maitani from Bookmarklet
"Researchers at the University of Warwick and Indiana University have identified parallels between animals looking for food in the wild and humans searching for items within their memory – suggesting that people with the best ‘memory foraging’ strategies are better at recalling items." - Maitani
"Scientists asked people to name as many animals as they could in three minutes and then compared the results with a classic model of optimal foraging in the real world, the marginal value theorem, which predicts how long animals will stay in one patch before jumping to another." - Maitani
