Is that 6 a.m. wokeout getting in the way of good sleep? Don’t think your fat cells won’t notice. A new

study published in The Annals of Internal Medicine (a medical journal) finds that inadequate shut-eye

has a harmful effect on fat cells, reducing their ability to respond to insulin (胰岛素) by about 30

percent. Over the long-term, this decreased response could set the stage for type-2 diabetes (a medical

condition in which someone has too much sugar in his or her blood), fatty liver disease and weight

gain.

The study adds to a growing body of evidence that there’ “an intimate relationship between the

amount of sleep we get and our ability to maintain a good, healthy body weight,” says sleep expert

Helene Emsellem, director of the Center for Sleep and Wake Disorders in Chevy Chase, Maryland. But

Americans don’t seem to be getting the message that we need seven to nine hours par night. More

than 1 in 5 of us, according to a report from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, is getting

six or fewer hours of sleep per night, on average.

So how did researchers study fat cells in the Annals paper? Matthew Brady of the University of Chicago

and a group of colleagues selected and persuaded seven volunteers to take part in the research

project. They were all young, thin and healthy and agreed to sleep for eight nights in a sleep lab. “For

four nights they were allowed to stay in bed for 8.5 hours a night,” says Brady. Then, a month later, they

came back for four additional nights——but this time they were allowed just 4.5 hours of sleep per

night. And after each visit, researchers got a sample of their fat. Brady explains that the fat cells

responded significantly to the loss of sleep. “I was very surprised to be honest,” he says.

Bad things can happen when fat cells become less responsive to insulin. “Fat cells are actually your

friend,” he says. “They’re there to store lipids (血脂).” When lipids stay inside the cells, your body can

utilize the fat when you’re exercising or sleeping or going about your day. “However, when fat cells

stare to become insulin resistant, the lipids star to leach out of the fat cells and rise in the

bloodstream,” Brady says.

ALTERNATIVE LEGAL BILLING – WIN STRATEGIES

Hourly billing is the best way to be charged for legal services. About 95 percent of lawyers still perform

their legal work on an hourly basis. If you want something better than the old “bill by the hour” deal,

try presenting one of these billing structures.

PROJECT BILLING FOR ROUTINE ISSUES

If your legal needs include large but repetitive tasks, consider a flat-fee approach. Once you get a

project billing estimate, don’t hesitate to shop around to compare prices and services with other law

firms. A firm may provide a better deal if it expects future work from your company.

RESULTS-ORIENTED OPTIONS

“Pay-according-to-success” is one choice. It considers fees based on the outcome of the case and the

performance of your counsel. Contingency fees turn the matter into a shared risk or shared

encouragement, making the law firm your business partner, not just representation.

MULTI-LAYERED TASKS

If you’re shopping for a firm for actual legal work involving a number of legal specialties, consider

using blended hourly fees. The firm calculates in advance an “average” rate based on the anticipated

time each lawyer spends on the matter.

This arrangement helps the client to avoid paying a senior partner’s hourly rate for research that should

be conducted by a junior associate.

Legal “Insurance”

The contract fee allows the client to pick up the phone and talk to the lawyer without needing to eye

the clock. This approach works like a legal insurance policy. It encourages companies to contact their

counsel on non-litigation, non-crisis matters, and to save money in the long run by engaging in more

preventive legal action.

1. {A; B; C} is the best way to be charged for legal services.

A. Results-oriented billing

B. Hourly billing

C. Flat-fee billing

2. A flat-fee approach {A; B; C}.

A. is suitable for repetitive tasks

B. is useless

C. is the best choice.

3. {A; B; C} make the law firm share your risk and encouragement.

A. Contract fees

B. Blended hourly fees

C. Contingency fees

4. Legal work involving a number of legal specialties should consider using {A; B; C}.

A. blended hourly fees

B. insurance fees

C. hourly fees

5. You have to eye the clock when you talk to the lawyer when you choose {A; B; C}.

A. legal “Insurance”

B. the old “bill by the hour” deal

C. a flat-fee approach”

NEW YORK – The five men facing trial in the Sept. 11 attacks will plead not guilty. They would state

their criticisms of U.S. foreign policy, the lawyer for one of the defendants said Sunday.

Scott Fenstermaker, the lawyer for accused terrorist Ali Abd al-Aziz Ali, said the men would not deny

their role in the 2001 attacks but “would explain what happened and why they did it.”

Ali and four other men are accused of killing nearly 3,000 people in the nation’s deadliest terrorist

attack. The U.S. Justice Department announced earlier this month that they will face a civilian federal

trial just blocks from the World Trade Center site.

Ali is also known as Ammar al-Baluchi. He is a nephew of claimed 9/11 planner, Khalid Sheikh

Mohammed.

Mohammed, Ali and the others will explain “their assessment of American foreign policy,” Fenstermaker

said.

“Their assessment is negative,” he said.

Fenstermaker met with Ali last week at the U.S. prison at Guantanamo Bay in Cuba. He has not spoken

with the others. But he said the men have discussed the trial among themselves.

Fenstermaker was first quoted in The New York Times in Sunday’s editions.

Critics of Attorney General Eric Holder decided to try the men in a New York City civilian courthouse. It

has warned that the trial would provide the defendants with a propaganda platform.

Dean Boyd, a spokesman for the Department of Justice, said Sunday that while the men may attempt

to use the trial to express their views, “we believe the courts and the federal judge may govern the trial.

The course of justice will be led appropriately and with minimal break, as federal courts have done in

the past.”

1. The five men thought that the U.S. foreign policy should be blamed for the 911 attack.{T; F}

2. Scott Fenstermaker is the lawyer for Ali Abd al-Aziz Ali and four other men.{T; F}

3. Nearly 3,000 people were killed in the 911 attack.{T; F}

4. The press didn’t care about this civilian federal trial.{T; F}

5. We can infer from the article that the prisoners also have their freedom to express their own views in

the U.S.A.{T; F}”
