Advanced Voice Recognition Systems, Inc.’s (AVOI.OB) Patent Covers Verbal Interaction with Technology

Gasoline Prices Rise to a Seasonal Record

Oil prices fell from a two-year high on Monday after China announced its second interest rate hike since October to control inflation. Oil prices fell on concerns over a slowdown in China's booming economy.
