Your stocks are holding up pretty well ....

Alzheimer's is actually caused by infection (cell wall deficient bacteria). A "smoking gun" is found in this recent study ... the science will only move forward http://www.plosone.org/article/info:doi/10.1371/journal.pone.0009505 Eating a healthy diet .... well it may delay the inevitable

I saw a large set of forex tick data on bitorrent .... no idea if it is any good
