He added: "After 36 hours of sleep deprivation it's like being drunk, 72 hours and paranoia sets in, Day Four the mind goes into hallucinations and you're dreaming while awake.

"The problem is there's no way to know how to offset brain damage or to train for this because there isn't sufficient research. I believe the first guy's mistake was not being in great physical condition. Also he used stimulants to keep awake, which I assume did him in."

"China is a cheap place to live if one is willing to eat rice, cabbage, and pork, but it’s expensive as all get out once you factor in the cost of decent housing, a car, and health care."

STOCK CONNECTOR, DIM SUM ISSUES DRAW ON HONG KONG YUAN DEPOSITS  

Direct trading between the Chinese and South Korean currencies began on Monday, with traders and government 
officials in Seoul saying transactions were more active than expected. 
 China's State Administration of Foreign Exchange (SAFE) had approved a total of 298.4 billion yuan Renminbi 
Qualified Foreign Institutional Investor (RQFII) quota to 93 entities as of Nov 28, the regulator said on Friday. 
 The Secretary for Financial Services and the Treasury of Hong Kong, K C Chan, started his week-long visit in Europe 
on Dec. 1 to boost bilateral relations between Hong Kong and Europe and to promote the former British colony as the 
world's premium offshore Renminbi hub. 
 ASIFMA and Thomson Reuters launched a white paper on Tuesday, examining the implications of, and outlook for, 
the recently launched Shanghai-Hong Kong Stock Connect scheme.

How the Brain Uses Glucose to Fuel Self-Control  

"at rest, the brain consumes about 25% of your circulating glucose, despite constituting only about 3% of your body weight" 

" during a tough self-control task, circulating glucose levels plummet, consumed by hardworking frontal neurons. And, remarkably, self-control improves if subjects sip sugary drinks during the task" 

"Subjects indicated their level of anger through the number of pins they’d put into a voodoo doll representing their spouse." 

" the effect of low blood glucose on willpower and judgment fits into a larger story about how stress has the same bad effects (and disrupts frontal cortical function) when it comes to violent behavior as well. The largest lesson is that who we are and what we do must always be considered in the context of the biology occurring inside us."

"the money inherited traces back to the inventor of the sewing machine, Isaac Merritt Singer. While the money does trace back to the Singer Sewing Machine Company, Isaac Singer did not invent the sewing machine, and Peretz’s uxorial nest egg traces back to Edward Clark, Singer’s patent lawyer, who was granted a full partnership in return for wresting the sewing machine patent away from the actual inventor, Elias Howe."

The same spreadsheet also contains race and gender data for each worker, although unlike the Sony Pictures files, names are not attached to the salary information.

CyberTrader to be dumped - Austin Business Journal Jun 24, 2007  

San Francisco-based Schwab, one the nation's largest discount brokers with 6.9 million accounts, bought CyberTrader in 2000 for $488 million. 
Over the past seven years, Schwab has taken the trading technology the CyberTrader team developed -- such as streaming market information and analytical tools -- into its fold and made it available to Schwab clients. All the while, CyberTrader and Schwab have been operating under separate broker-dealer licenses. When the integration is complete, all of those clients will be served under Schwab's license, making for a more efficient operation, Phillips says.

Ameritrade and E*Trade are the nation's only publicly traded online brokerages."

Nine surprisingly simple tips from 20 experts about how to lose weight and keep it off - Vox  

1) There really, truly is no one "best diet" CORRECT, EVERYONE IS DIFFERENT 
2) People who lose weight are good at tracking — what they eat and how much they weigh 
3) People who lose weight identify their barriers and motivations 
4) Diets often fail because of unreasonable expectations 
5) People who lose weight know how many calories they're consuming — and burning 
6) There are ways to hack your environment for health 
7) Exercise is surprisingly unhelpful for weight loss 
8) Weight loss medications aren't very useful. Neither are "metabolism boosting" supplements. 
9) Forget about "the last 10 pounds"

Q. and A.: Zhang Lifan on the New Chinese Nationalism - NYTimes.com  

"Zhou Xiaoping doesn’t have his own viewpoint. He is not a person with his own independent thinking. He focuses on figuring out what the leadership wants and delivers just that.
