Stars Create Alzheimer's-Fighting Matter?
If you recall your Astronomy 101, remember that 'heavier' gases and elements - with an atomic weight over 3 or so must be created in stars, that, is anything denser than helium, is created as a result of fusion. As the star gets increasingly dense as it moves from a red giant to a shrinking globe, heavier elements are created - even gold. At last, the density is so great that the star collapses on itself and then explodes as a supernova. The heavy elements are then distributed in nearby clouds of gas and dust, and then the whole cycle begins again.
Now scientists are investigating the role of gold in fighting Alzheimer's. Read more

A Zero Latency Brain
Get your own zero-latency brain at cognitivelabs.com.
Zero-latency was a term invented by consultants to sell software, yet another SAP module or a bolt-on to SAP and Oracle making your organization whole and complete and solving that problematic supply chain, you know 'why are my widgets in Wisconsin and my T-rings in Taiwan'? kind of problem. After spending billions on software that could improve your inventory of pencils and erasers, the bullhorns and megaphones were put away and the revolution was declared 'over.'
The next great battleground, or campus martialis is the brain. If you can optimize your brain, gain visibility into changes dynamic changes and then intercede, lives can be improved, not just ontime performance for the delivery of products on a shelf.
If the brain is enhanced, you will have already solved the supply chain problem before it ever occurs - eliminating a bottleneck by going upstream...

Monday factoid, including the human genome
Over 500 people were tested yesterday, from the comfort of their own computer, wherever they reside around the world. You'll see some changes in the flow of tests, as the brief picture and word test, which was used in the Stanford research (and which was awarded a U.S. patent) is now in the 'free test' slot. This test was central to the results presented internationally over the past 7 months, both in Washington D.C. and Stockholm. Incidientally, after the free test you can decide to track your results and tell Cognitive Labs to track them for you. For a small subscription fee, you can subscribe to the reporting service Memory For Life and get reports on your scores: are they trending up or down? Faster or slower? Plus, after time passes you will receive reminders. It's all about taking proactive steps to manage your health through better information.
This leads into a discussion of the human genome. From double helix discoverer Francis Crick to Craig Venter, much progress has been made in unraveling the mystery. I was surpised to see, in Dr. Venter's interview in BioItWorld by Kevin Davies, that he was APOEe4, putting him at a theoretical higher risker for certain ailments, particularly cardiovascular and cognitive issues such as Alzheimer's.
Hence the need for early detection.
