| 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. |

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. |
据美国在线报道，9月24日，艺术家纳塔莎•祖潘将在圣地亚哥的亚历山大•萨拉泽画廊开一场内衣画展。她10年前就曾在纽约的一家画廊开过这样的画展，不过在9•11之后就关门了。祖潘用乳胶和石膏将内衣固定在木头和帆布上作画，有时候也会用到纸牌﹑缎带等私人小玩意。当然，并不是所有的内衣都是她自己的，有些是朋友们捐赠给她的。报道称，即将在圣地亚哥展出的画作能卖到5000至25000美元不等，而萨拉泽画廊方面则表示尚不确定，因为很多作品已被买走，到时候画作稀缺就会涨价。
