what is it about the compound that slows down alzheimer's? >> we are not sure. vitamin e is an anti-ochly dent. we are not sure why it works in slowing down the rate of progress. the raigsal for this study was a study published in 1997 and the new england journal showing that at this dose. vitamin e was effective in slowing down the rate of progression. the parents had alzheimer's, so we thought it was important to study patients with mild to moderate alzheimer's. >> you said you are not sure why it works. what changes did you see in the patients who are taken the vitamin? >> we saw a slowing in functional decline over the period of time the patients were in the study. functional decline refers to the ability to dress, bathe oneself and higher functions such as using a telephone, shopping, keeping track of the check book. we thought that function was the most important thing to assess in the study. that's why it was called a primary outcome measure, the most important thing we measured. >> what about healthy people. should they take vitamin e as a preventive measure. >> this is not a prevention study. all the patients, 613 were randomized, had a diagnosis of alzheimer's. it would not be correct to extrapolate from this study that vitamin e prevents alzheimer's and people who do not have the disease. >> ams is a disease without a cure. >> are there other options. >> not really. there are no prevention strategi strategies shown to be effective. medication is available. that's all we have at this point. >> the result of the study were in the entirely concludesive. why weren't they. what do you have to prove, what are you unsure about. >> actually, the - it's a finding. the rate of decline is significantly slower. i think what we had hoped to see was that cognition or memory would improve. we had ways of measuring that, which we were not able to establish. what we saw was a gain in time that the care giver spent in caring for patients. at the beginning of the study caregivers spend three hours ada. after a legementds of time in the study, vitamin e had the at least increase. we think that is a benefit. >> to continue studies like this, is if youeding an issue as well. >> yes, it's a funteding. it's an issue to carry out a 5-year study. in this case it was the va. the corporate studies program, which sponsored the study. we were fortunate because i think because vit mip e lass little commercial value, that the va is willing to sponsor studies like this. >> thank you. a psychiatrist at the minneapolis vk health care system. >> it's world braille day,

of the blind people. >> it's universally recognised that they are not competitors, but only intended to supplement what is available in the system. >> the advantages is that i can read very fast. i

boyd, chairman of the boyd group, our expert on all things airlines. michael, we've been talking about this $1.2 billion number. "a," is that right? and we just talked about it as a one-time number. to the extent that you think airlines look at a situation like this and think it's going to happen again, do they have to start factoring this in in a different way? >> i think what jetblue did was the right thing. if you can't operate, you shut it down and inconvenience less people. but they tried to anticipate this. i think the $1.2 billion is probably an accurate number. as phil just said, it includes everything. i want to make light of it, but this is not going to be as big a hit to the airline industry overall for the year as it might look today. >> of the airlines, if you were going to list one, two, three, who do you think takes the biggest hit, and who doesn't take a hit? >> jetblue obviously will because that's where they're focused, right in the northeast. washington, boston and new york. >> but i'm thinking about american as well, even though their hub is in dallas, they do a lot of business in the northeast as well, no? >> oh, no, absolutely. >> delta. >> they've got a hub -- delta, you've got delta with an operation at ken da and laguardia, american, the same thing. and united has a huge hub at newark. they'll get affected, but those airlines also have a huge system worldwide. jetblue does not. so they'll get hit but not as badly as, say, jetblue on a percentage basis. >> are the airlines not -- should the airlines be prepared for something like this? do we say, this is a one-off situation, and it happens, you know, hardly ever, or do you think the airlines say to themselves, we need to actually change the way we operate so that we can actually operate in colder weather? >> no, not really. i mean, we've done work up in alaska. they're ready for it. but here, for example, that battery that worked perfectly fine over the last three months in the ground start unit, suddenly at ten below goes under and there aren't that many batteries on the shelf to replace it. you can't really prepare for this because it really is a one-off. and when it does happen, it's like the coo of jetblue said, sometimes you've got to let the weather win. >> they did shut things down. you say that is the right decision. how about all the communications around that decision, though? >> that's another issue. when you do that, that's a very good point to keep people advised of it. no matter what happens, can you send a reporter out to laguardia airport and find that one, two, whatever people who are ticked off, of course they're ticked off. but the reality is that jetblue probably inconvenienced thousands fewer by doing what they did. but there are people inconvenienced. and hey, guess what? when you buy a ticket, you're betting on physics. and sometimes the physics of weather do get you. >> okay. michael boydthis morning. >> thank you. >> stay warm if you can. >> i will. >> don't go on a plane, i guess. i don't know. >>> coming up, earnings season is heating up. the ceo of micron technology, mark durcan will talk to us after a very positive report. >>> but first, our guest host is on his way to the set. former omb director and citigroup global banking vice chairman peter orszag. yes, a man from the administration now a banker. man. all right. we're going to spark the unemployment benefits debate next. >>> get a leg up on the trading day with the morning squawk newsletter. go to our show page, squawk.cnbc.com, and sign up now.
