US Trade & Budget Deficits Get Worse
Thursday's report from the Treasury department says the U.S. government's budget deficit soared by more than $222 billion in February, the biggest one-month increase in history.The deficit for the year is expected to hit a record of $1.5 trillion. The deficit follows the worst recession in decades which cut government tax revenue and prompted officials to spend huge sums to stimulate the economy.
A separate report from the Commerce Department shows the trade deficit grew wider in January, as surging oil prices drove up the cost of imports.The gap between what Americans export and what they buy from foreign sources jumped more than 15 percent to hit $46 billion.
The trade deficit widened in spite of U.S. exports hitting a record high as the weak dollar made U.S.-made products less expensive for foreigners, and growth speeded up in key markets in Asia and Latin America.A different government report showed the number of people signing up for unemployment compensation in the United States rose by 26,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych],000 last week to hit a total of 397,000. The modest increase comes after the number of layoffs was near a three-year low in recent weeks.
Sleep deficiency affects many Americans: CDC
More and more American adults are suffering from a decline in overall sleep duration, the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) said on Thursday.It's recommended that adults should sleep seven to nine hours a night to maintain good health, but more than one-third of Americans do not meet that requirement, according to the CDC.
Insufficient sleep poses a long-term heath threat and impairs work performance and the ability to drive safely,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], the CDC said.Chronic sleep loss also is associated with obesity, increased risk of death and other health problems,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], according to the CDC.
"Over the last 20 years there has been a decline in overall sleep duration in adults,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych]," said Lela McKnight-Eily,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych],[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], a clinical psychologist and epidemiologist at the CDC's National Center for Chronic Disease Prevention.
"Within our culture there seems to be a belief that sleep isn't a part of overall essential health,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych]," she said.McKnight-Eily and her colleagues studied the sleep habits of 74,571 adults in 12 states, 35.3 percent reported sleeping less than seven hours.In addition,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], 48 percent reported snoring, 37.9 percent said they fell asleep at least once during the day the previous month and 4.7 percent admitted to falling asleep at the wheel at least once.
Drowsiness or nodding off while driving accounts for 1,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych],550 deaths and 40,000 injuries a year, according to the U.S. Department of Transportation.To get enough sleep,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], Americans have to change lifestyle habits, including longer workdays and late nights on the computer,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], McKnight-Eily said, noting that too much screen time paring away much-needed sleep time.
Combining sneaker classics has been a common habit of Jordan Brand in recent years, and the CMFT series is another example of that work. For the Air Jordan CMFT Air Max 12,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], Jordan Brand combined the sole of the Nike Air Max 97 with a low-cut version of the Air Jordan 12 (XII).
