News - Who says the Catholic Church is behind the times? Church seeks nominations for patron saint of the Internet: http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/articles/A58076-2003Jan28.html



Comment - One of the leading candidates is the Archangel Gabriel. It was he who brought word to Mary that she would give birth to Jesus. Of course, it wasn't an e-mail message to Mary ("You've got heavenly mail!")



News -- Too much or too little sleep can lead to modest increase in risk of heart disease, according to study reported in Archives of Internal Medicine: http://archinte.ama-assn.org/issues/v163n2/abs/ioi20170.html



Comment - The link above will take you to a summary of the study. The study was based on self-reports of the amount of sleep that women received each night. It found that eight hours a night seems to be the sweet spot. The authors suggest that getting eight hours of sleep should be considered an essential part of a healthy lifestyle, not just a luxury.
