Police say man in wheelchair robbed bank
2 hours, 35 minutes ago

Palo Alto police are looking for a bank robber who favors a decidedly slow-speed getaway vehicle ? an electric wheelchair. Police said a man in his 60s with gray hair and a beard held up the Wachovia Bank branch at the Stanford Shopping Center late this afternoon with a black handgun.

After the stickup, he left in his wheelchair and was last seen motoring down a nearby street toward El Camino Real, a major thoroughfare.

BBC: Daily caffeine protects brain

Daily caffeine 'protects brain'

Wednesday, 2 April 2008

Coffee may cut the risk of dementia by blocking the damage cholesterol can inflict on the body, research suggests.

The drink has already been linked to a lower risk of Alzheimer's Disease, and a study by a US team for the Journal of Neuroinflammation may explain why.
A vital barrier between the brain and the main blood supply of rabbits fed a fat-rich diet was protected in those given a caffeine supplement.

The "blood brain barrier" is a filter which protects the central nervous system from potentially harmful chemicals carried around in the rest of the bloodstream.

Other studies have shown that high levels of cholesterol in the blood can make this barrier "leaky".

"Leaky"?

It depends...

I don't drink coffee. Never have. I really hope I get robbing banks crazy and not normal crazy.
