I can't find an online article about it yet, but CNN's "American Morning with Paula Zahn" just had a segment about two identical twin sisters who were adopted by different families, raised without knowledge of the other twin, and, now college students, were finally introduced to each other last week after hearing stories from friends-of-friends about the other twin's similarities.

Thursday, March 6th. 4:49am. I have an hour and a half until I have to catch my train to the airport. Haven't slept yet. Do I go to bed, and catch the later (6:53am) train?

Apparently there is a "bad bunch of speed" for sale on the streets of San Francisco, or at least that's what the police said at the ER last night. We had at least six patients brought in last night, all very much high on amphetamines. It was quite a sight. Despite the fact that they were in restraints and weren't moving much, most of them had heart rates of 140-160 beats per minute for 2-3 hours. To put that in perspective, that is the same rate I aim for during hard running workouts.

"Every time oil spiked in the last 30 years, recession came. Why should this time be different?" CNN and Money Magazine write about impending doom:

"The link between energy costs and the economy are direct. When prices go up, businesses and consumers put more of their money into keeping the lights on and keeping their gas tank filled. That leaves them with less to spend, stifling growth. Most economists think that the economy will be able to stave off recession, but they view the recent jump in crude costs with alarm."
