This is what I came up with, click through for larger versions and the before image I used. My idea was, as just about any designer would, clean up and organize/prioritize the information. Use font size and weight to direct the eye and give clear structure with columns. I also added a candlestick feature to each post as updates would come in to show whats new.
Here are some others.
