RSS Feed - CBC top stories

I chose to use Google Reader for my RSS feed subscription, primarily because I already had a google account. I found google reader to be very easy to use and set up. I subscribed to two different news feeds which provide me with top and world news stories each day.

I subscribed to cbc top news stories (www.cbc.ca) and CNN.com. I read an article from cbc.ca which was posted on February 2, 2009. "The article was Education may not slow memory loss: study". The article discussed the relationship between education and memory loss. Studies suggest that education is associated with the level of cognitive function, but not with the rate of cognitive decline. They found that although there is a link between higher education and the memory's ability to function at a higher level, there was no link found between higher education and how fast the memory loses the ability to funtion at this level. In other words, after studying a group of 6500 people with an average age of 72, for an average of 6.5 years, it was discovered that education level had no bearing on how fast a person loses their memory once memory loss starts.

Here is the link to the article:
