RMBS:

Hi Harry:

I just took a small position and may trade out quickly. The supreme court's new session starts next Monday and the rumor is they're NOT hearing the ifx appeal.

I figure this is factored into the stock and its the FTC case that matters (an expected Nov decision by the court) BUT there was a pretty good volume spike this am so I purchased on the pullback.

I really don't want to be long anything over the next few weeks.

Do This In Your 40s. You'll Live Longer

The Good News: You can pretty much eat whatever you want when you're young. But when you hit middle-age, you need to get serious about eating right.

The Better News: Even if you wait until you're in your 40s to make a healthy diet change, it can still add years to your life, according to new research from University College London in Great Britain that was published in the journal Science.

The Bad News: The diet change you must make is to restrict your calories--a lot. It's a super lean diet that leads to longevity.

The Associated Press reports that the British study compared the effects different calorie-restricted diets had on the mortality of fruit flies. (While the research involved fruit flies, not human beings, the scientists are fairly confident that the results apply to men and women, too.) The fruit flies that ate restricted diets lived about 90 days, which is twice as long as those that were fed a normal diet. But when the fruit flies that had been heavily fed until middle age (which is day 14 to 22 in fruit fly years) were switched to leaner diets, they also enjoyed the same extended lifespan as the fruit flies that subsisted on a restricted diet all their lives.

The takeaway message: It's never too late to improve your health by switching to a healthy diet. Lead study author Linda Partridge told AP, "If this works in humans, then it means that from the time a person starts on a restricted diet, they'll be like individuals of the same age who were always on that diet. Their prospects of survival are the same."
