Wearing blue light-blocking glasses can help your sleep:
Teen boys who used computers and other digital devices while wearing the glasses
every evening for a week felt markedly more relaxed and sleepy at bedtime than
when they just wore clear glasses, Swiss researchers found. -

Here' s more about the Twilight app from Lifehacker:
Once installed, the app slowly adds a soft red filter over your display as the hours drag on. In the morning, your phone or tablet's screen will be bright white, but the app filters out the blues over time to try and reduce your exposure to the kind of bright, harsh light that keeps you awake at night and prevents you from falling into a deep sleep. The intensity of the red filter adjusts automatically, and is based on the sunset and sunrise times where you live. We tried the app out, and it works as advertised, although it takes a little getting used to at first.

Here's the context that Trent Giles mentioned:
“I’ve actually never talked about it or I haven’t read about that,” Walker said, his voice calm and firm. “I’ve never asked him that,” he added. “You’ve asked me to make statements about people that I haven’t had a conversation with about that. How [could] I say if I know either of you are a Christian?”
-
Walker is another Tim Pawlenty... to unknown other than as a name... I'm not for him, but he needs to expose his own record and live-it/love-it. So far he's seems more interested in not-discussing it outside of very supportive audiences.

Here is a review of "Ghettoside" by Jill Leovy:
“Ghettoside,” if there’s any justice, will be the most important book about urban violence in a generation. And in one of those rare moments of utter kismet, it has appeared just when we need it most. In the world of after-Ferguson (and after Eric Garner and Tamir Rice and all the rest), as we debate the harm done by police — which is real and must be corrected — Leovy focuses on the harms that come from those things undone by police. She has visited, and she speaks for, the dead, their survivors, their neighborhoods and the cops who deal — and more important, don’t deal — with them all.
Leovy will join us after the update from the BBC. -

Jill Leovy in The New Republic:
If you talk to people in the black urban underclass, they’ll tell you, “Why don’t they go find the killers? They never catch the guys who did it.” The national conversation is about over policing. But many black people in ghettos say they want more policing. It was the same in the Jim Crow south. Yes, the police could be brutal. But they would also say, “We need more protection than we’re getting.”

Jill Leovy in Flavorwire talking about the role of police in our cities:
This is an interesting point about our tradition of policing in America: it actually has always been viewed as a blue collar profession. It’s an interesting way of conceptualizing a job that is not only so important, but also, as Skaggs would say passionately, is a skilled profession.

"People like to say 'black community' but I don't buy it...the police are being pitted against factions in inner-city neighborhoods." - Jill Leovy.
She adds that there are disputes between different people in neighborhoods and it "is not at all a community". -
-
Our in-depth conversation this hour was about the world of homicide reporting. In particular, we discussed the disparities in who gets killed and whose deaths get coverage in our media.
Our guest was Jill Leovy, author of "Ghettoside". She previously wrote The Homicide Report for the Los Angeles Times. -
I regard Ms. Leovy's last comment as (ironically) representative of the kind specious argument advanced by many in law enforcement. If the police were only "being pitted against factions in inner-city neighborhoods", then middle-class African-American men would not be profiled when in suburban communities as if they were criminals.
