Critical cases of hyponatremia occurred in .6 percent of the sample, or three runners. The most common risk factors were significant weight gain during the race, longer race times, and a lower body-mass index, Almond said...
...everyone these days seems to be groping for a way to get rich off India. Foreign institutional investors poured $8.9 billion into Indian equities in 2004 and $3 billion so far this year, up from $750 million in 2002. Awash in cash from overseas, Sensex--India's main stock index--has more than doubled in two years to hit a recent all-time high.

The first is that over long periods, the stock market offers much higher returns for what I find an acceptably low risk. Jeremy Siegel, a finance professor at the University of Pennsylvania, has found that the broad stock market from 1802 through 2003 averaged a 6.8 percent annual real rate of return. While the markets fluctuate from year to year, over all 30-year holding periods since 1802, the lowest annual real return...
