Researchers estimate that more than 80 percent of people with clinical sleep issues remain undiagnosed, and so it seems that awareness around sleep disorders could use a little boost. With that intention, let's see if we can shed some light on a few things.

We all know that Americans need more quality sleep, and we know the consequences of skimping on sleep. But do you know how sleep-deprived your particular state is?

A flurry of acquisition deals and earnings reports also provided support. Shares of engineering and construction company SNC-Lavalin Group Inc jumped 5.1 percent to C$52.14 after SNC said it will sell its AltaLink transmission system to Berkshire Hathaway Inc's energy unit for about $2.9 billion. While figures on Friday showed U.S. …

The other morning, I had a vision of the reality of life. It wasn't profound; it was prosaic, ordinary but delicious. The vision was of a cake. In this vision, I saw a big, round cake with icing on the top and one of those decorative cake wrappers around the circumference. I had to do an Internet search to find out what those paper wrappers are called. They're called cake frills. Even though most of them aren't frilly, in my vision, I saw the life we know and experience as being the same as that cake frill — thin and
