scientists at georgetown university have developed a blood test they say could lead to an early diagnosis of alzheimer's. three years before the patient shows any symptoms, this test still needs to be evaluated on a larger scale, but many consider it a possible game changer considering current methods of predicting the disease, which are often expensive, d practical and unreliable. not a good combination. up next, an hbo series becomes a big hit it crashes the networks online streaming service. we will tell you all about it and a different kind of crash outside of tampa, florida, over the weekend leaves the pilot of this aircraft surprisingly, well in a lot better shape than you imagine. his story and much more. you will not believe this one. next. this is the quicksilver cash back card from capital one. it's not the "juggle a bunch of rotating categories" card. it's not the "sign up for rewards each quarter" card. it's the no-games, no-messing-'round, no-earning-limit-having, do-i-look-like-i'm-joking, turbo-boosting, heavyweight-champion- of-the-world cash back card. thiss the quicksilv
