TOKYO (Reuters) - Japanese scientists have developed an oral vaccine for Alzheimer’s disease that has proven effective and safe in mice, the director of a research institute behind the project said on Thursday.
The team is preparing to move to small-scale clinical trials in humans, possibly this year, said Takeshi Tabira, director of the National Institute for Longevity Sciences in Aichi, central Japan.

United Stats Post Office (the cool people like me call it USPS yo) is letting you vote for your favorite Star Wars stamp online! That’s right, top stamps will be sold in this hot collectors edition stamp which can be seen around the world!!! That is… if you put 20 stamps on something going to Siberia and they’re all Star Wars stamps.
Anyway, cast your vote now! I voted for Yoda.
So this evening I’m drinking some wine. And it’s good which means I’ll never remember what it is so I’m going to write it down.

I give it a 95 out of 100 for being smooth, robust, and making me go “yum”
I found this on the net… I don’t remember where it was, but funny none the less. Thus, I will link to the site on the bottom of the photo, myconfinedspace.com.
Check this out: found on a pretty funny comic site, xkcd.com…

My best is 4 in a row. Those things are tricky. I wish I had a suit that looked like soda cans to blend in.
A friend of mine installed some software the other day which included some nasty spyware. We couldn’t figure out what was going on and why the computer had popups and issues with internet. Our last option was Windows System Restore. Do you know about it? I learned that a lot of people don’t! Well here’s a summary of what it is, what it can do, and how to use it.
I found the following from Microsoft’s site under Using Windows XP called: Use System Restore to Undo Changes if Problems Occur
Every time you download or install a new game, application, or software update, you make changes to your computer. Sometimes that change may make your system unstable. Have you ever wanted to go back to the way it was? With System Restore, you can.
System Restore works a lot like the Undo command in Microsoft Word. You can use System Restore to remove any system changes that were made since the last time you remember your computer working correctly. System Restore does not affect your personal data files (such as Microsoft Word documents, browsing history, drawings, favorites, or e-mail) so you won’t lose changes made to these files.
How does System restore work?
Windows XP periodically records a snapshot of your computer. These snapshots are called restore points. Windows XP also creates restore points at the time of significant system events (such as when an application or driver is installed) or you can create and name your own restore points at any time. If you’ve installed a program that has made your computer unstable, you can open system restore, choose a restore point, and return your computer to its previous stable state.
When you run System Restore, a calendar is displayed to help you find restore points. If you don’t use your computer every day, some days might not have any restore points. If you use your computer frequently, you might have restore points almost every day, and some days might have several restore points.
Use System Restore to undo changes you’ve made to your computer
Before you open the System Restore console, you may want to save your work and close all programs since System Restore requires you to restart your computer.
There are two ways to access System Restore > through Help and Support or through your All Programs folder.
