WEBMD- Insomnia May Raise Heart Attack Risk, Nov 01, 2011

"Oct. 24, 2011 -- Poor sleepers who toss and turn most nights may be at risk for more than just daytime sleepiness.
Chronic insomnia has been linked to depression and anxiety, and now a large study from Norway finds that it may also increase the risk of heart attacks.
People in the study with insomnia symptoms had more heart attacks than people without insomnia symptoms, and those with the most symptoms had the highest risk.
Study researcher Lars Erik Laugsand, MD, of the Norwegian University of Science and Technology, says more research is needed to confirm the findings in different populations and to understand how lack of sleep may affect the heart."

MONEY Morning - Spain's Economic Crisis Shows the Eurozone Can't Escape its Debt Trap, Nov 01, 2011

Spain's gross domestic product (GDP) was flat in the third quarter, the country's central bank said yesterday (Monday). That follows anemic growth of 0.4% in the first quarter and 0.2% in the second quarter.
Even more troubling is the nation's unemployment rate, which rose to 22.6% in September - the highest in the Eurozone.
As one of the PIIGS (Portugal, Ireland, Italy, Greece and Spain), Spain has been trying to wrestle down its high sovereign debt with austerity measures. Unfortunately, those measures are driving the Spanish economy toward recession, which is making it impossible for the government to hit its budget deficit reduction targets."

SMALLBUSINESSNEWZ -The Joys of Working With Small Business Owners, Nov 01, 2011

Where would business be without them?
Almost every day a small business owner comes into my office to share his or her dream with me.
Sometimes they’ve already got a business, whether it’s a storefront, a home office, or a retail space. Other times it’s just an idea that they want to bounce off me to see if it makes sense. Often the person comes in covertly during their lunchtime so their boss won’t know about their desire to escape the cubicle and create something new."
