Damn, Tyler, you got my hopes up for a moment with that last entry :( I thought I could go on vacation, knowing my country was no longer in peril. Shame on you :)

Moron. The old joke about Bob and Kneel. Dennis is Knealing and Michael is bobbing.

These people just don't get it do they?

So when will the employment data be leaked this week? Tuesday afternoon? And will they write the number on a 3x5 card and post it on a supermarket bulletin board for 'special shoppers' to take notice of?

In regards to Swine flu article, there is good news from downunder...a swine flu vax is on the way. (Tamiflu and Relenza are also from Australian labs)

Australia leads flu vaccine race

also, here is a page of Companies producing the Vax:

Not to panic, seasonal flu still kiss about 495,000 people more a year than Swine flu has. Australia has 7 deaths from Swine from the 4000 deaths per year from season flu...perspective is the word here.

Tamiflu resistance is a given. There is some nice work on how it works and how a flu can develop resistance to it.

Relenza targets the same vulnerability but in a slightly different way and the flu is less able to work around Relenza's action.

Both have always been a longshot. You have to hit the patient early with Tamiflu/Relenza. And, Tamiflu takes one year to manufacture - an entire year to cook a batch. Not easy to ramp up, y'know?

What is the old saying, 'If you are not a contrarian, you are a victim'.

You would have to be brain dead to hop in at these VIX levels as per the article: "VIX drops to 25.65, below closing level before Lehman collapse" IMO.
