...writes: ?This is a movie that spirals down and down until it passes the point of no return. And then it doesn?t. (The) characters, traumatized by their very existence, run around sweating and crying out their pain, looking for all the world like candles melting down to a wick of pure hurt and hatred.? The receptive moviegoer goes into meltdown too - from feeling appalled to feeling empathy. And that second, human emotion is the scariest...
...that endometriosis develops because menstrual fluid backs up and travels to the ovaries, Fallopian tubes and outer surface of the womb, where it takes root. Having sex--more specifically, having an orgasm--causes the uterus to contract, pushing out the fluid. And tampons? They seem to act like a wick, drawing fluid out. The findings may not be definitive enough to change your personal habits, but they're worth considering...

...WICK: Exactly. Unique know-how. A few years ago, I went to see a company doing their IPO roadshow. They refused to put up their slide show because they were concerned that venture capitalists would be in the room and take their business plan and shop it. That's a great example of a company that doesn't have a whole lot of proprietary content. If everything about the company can be put into a bunch of slides, then there's not much there...
...WICK: My favorite stock and largest position is Symantec, the leading company in antivirus software and a contender in things like vulnerability assessment. Symantec is a very well-run company, extremely profitable. They've been buying back stock religiously, and it's very cheap. I'd make the argument that security is growing as a percentage of corporate information technology spending, and it's more resistant to recessionary cutbacks. Another software company that we like is Autodesk. If you're an architect and want to translate your thoughts or drawings into a computer-generated model, you use Autodesk's drafting...
