Sleeping may earn you $10 per hr

Sat, Aug 2 12:05 PM

Washington, August 2 (ANI): It's no more necessary to get up early in the morning and get ready for work, for NASA is paying people just to sleep.

"It's very relaxing at times. This is probably the most I've sat still in 10 years," foxnews.com quoted Heather Archuletta, a study participant, as saying. (ANI)

NASA's Flight Analog Research Unit says one way to recreate such conditions on the ground is for test participants to lie down with head slightly tilted back for 90 days.

They spend three months lying down, and the preparation and rehabilitation take up another month.

10 poison ivy myths

Posted: Aug 2nd 2008 1:00PM by Maggie Vink
Filed under: General Health

Recently I came down with my first case of poison ivy. And it's a doozy. A trip to the doctor last Monday has me on medication that's clearing it up quickly, though. I'll be happy to see it go away completely! Since this was my first case of the scratchy stuff, I did a little research online and discovered that a lot of the things I thought were facts about poison ivy turn out to be nothing but myths.

You can catch poison ivy by just being near the plants. Nope. You need to have direct contact with urushiol oil. However, weed whackers and lawn mowers can cause the oil to become airborne for a short time, so there is some truth to the myth.

Leaves of three, let them be. This is true for poison ivy, but poison oak and poison sumac are different.

A hole new way to garden

Posted by Holly Hayes on October 25th, 2007 at 9:52 am | Categorized as General

Here’s a new tool you might want to check out — especially if your gardening plans include lots of repetitive digging to install masses of cheery fall annuals or bulbs for a nice display next spring.

Jack Reiter is a Minnesota inventor who came up with the PrestoPlanter out of frustration while working in tough, root-bound soil. Reiter is quoted on the company’s Web site,
www.prestoplanter.com, saying: “This will allow gardeners of all ages and abilities to easily dig perfect holes and get to the fun part of gardening, the planting.”

Stress and its symptoms

Stress—its surface level symptoms

Stress may affect us temporarily or permanently. It depends on how deep a person gets involved emotionally.

Dispossession, (to live without the use of things which we think we can not do without) is one way of training ourselves to be dispassionate and ready to meet adverse conditions.

But Stress is basically an emotion and ambition related problem. Everyone gets into stress now and then. So there is no escape from getting stressed. The escape lies with our attitude. Avoid the seven sins and one can live happily

We have no right to ask when sorrow comes, "Why did this happen to me?" unless we ask the same question for every moment of happiness that comes our way. —Unknown

What they do with your money

clipper's remarks: Finance managers can never be held responsible. They have at their disposal large amounts which they can invest. It is not their own. If everyone takes personal care, one will look into the shares they buy. Here malpractices and favorism can be done with other's money. Better shy away from mutual funds and investment banking. Have your maoney saved in a regural bank for security.

Shareholder revolt against excessive pay gained steam in 2007

By John Boudreau
Mercury News

After just nine months on the job as chief executive of Rackable Systems, Mark J. Barrenechea last year became one of the top paid executives in Silicon Valley. He also became a target for a growing shareholder rebellion against soaring executive compensation.

"They didn't do anything legally wrong, but none of it was done with shareholder approval," Leza said. "Things like this should go before shareholders."

The company, which had $353 million in sales last year, made that point to shareholders as it fended off Leza. Furthermore, it said it regularly meets with top shareholders, and, Rackable says in its proxy statement, "there has never been criticism of our compensation practices."

hearing loss ans cell phones

Ear Damage - Cell Phone Culture

To me a lush carpet of pine needles or spongy grass is more welcome than the most luxurious Persian rug

Use of cell phones for long durations seems to affect the hearing efficiency and ability to discriminate certain sounds. This is said to be the effect of high frequency audio waves. The ear is getting bombarded constantly and that would make the ears lose their natural abilities. We know that sound is a cause for certain mental problems and the environmental effect of sound is well known.

There is no need for sci-fi to create new and strange animals-in some fifty years every American would look like one such creature, if things go on this way. He may have a robot to guide him and drive him about. Nature never forgives. Emerson had seen only the calculators, when he commented:

U.S. life expectancy tops 78 for the first time

Federal report cites decline in heart disease, other major causes of death

ATLANTA - For the first time, U.S. life expectancy has surpassed 78 years, the government reported Wednesday, although the United States continues to lag behind about 30 other countries in estimated life span.

The increase is due mainly to falling mortality rates in almost all the leading causes of death, federal health officials said. The average life expectancy for babies born in 2006 was about four months greater than for children born in 2005.

Japan has the longest life expectancy — 83 years for children born in 2006, according to World Health Organization data. Switzerland and Australia were also near the top of the list.

10 best excuses for coming to work late

Editor's note: CNN.com has a business partnership with CareerBuilder.com, which serves as the exclusive provider of job listings and services to CNN.com.

Some people wake up each morning before the alarm rings, glad to see the glowing sun and excited to start the day.

They arrive to work whistling and are hard at work before most people even arrive. These rare creatures, also known as "morning people," are incomprehensible to those of you whose morning routines are exercises in panic and frustration.

A lot more people belong in that latter group than you might have guessed. Fifteen percent of workers admit to arriving late at least once a week, according to a recent CareerBuilder.com survey.
