| Memory Loss And Other Cognitive Impairment Becoming Less Common In ...
But the researchers say this may actually result from a protective effect of better education on a person's "cognitive reserve" -- their ability to sustain more insults to their brain before significant thinking problems arise. The study is published February 20 online in the journal Alzheimer's and Dementia by a team led by two University of Michigan Medical School physicians and their colleagues. The study is based on data from the Health and Retirement Study (HRS), a national survey of older Americans funded by the National Institute on Aging and based at the U-M Institute for Social Research (ISR). Lead author Kenneth Langa, M.D., Ph.D., calls the findings good news for today's seniors, noting that the new data support recent theories of how brains can be protected and preserved.
Walking preacher found to be a felon
No one but Bowman knows exactly how much he has made as a drifter. And when he was in Natchez, no one knew how much of a bad guy he really was. “He's a con and a felon," Holder said. And worse that being a felon, Holder said, he has a hunch that Bowman is walking all over the country committing other crimes. And most concerning to Holder is that Bowman's DNA is not on file anywhere. “There's no telling what he has been up to," he said. .
Students, Alums Pay Respects At NIU
DEKALB, Ill. -- In DeKalb, Ill., mourners have been standing in the rain, staring at five white crosses on a small hill before placing flowers in the snow in front of each one. The visitors held markers for long minutes in front of 16-foot-long remembrance boards crammed with messages, adding their own words. And a few kneeled in front of crime scene tape strung outside a Northern Illinois University lecture hall where a young man gunned down five students before turning the gun on himself. .

The Tyrant and the Bomb, Part II
Like his father, the dictator knew that Pyongyang would need help to achieve the ultimate objective of worldwide recognition and his life's dream: a nuclear bomb. The weapon is the one thing that brings 22 million North Koreans (with annual GNP per capita of about $800) on par with 290 million Americans (GNP per capita of $35,400). The official route was relatively unproductive. The Yongbyon ("Project 9559") research reactor the Soviets built for the "Great Leader" went into operation in 1965. North Korean scientists acquired their expertise in Moscow and with the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) in Vienna. By becoming a signatory to the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty in 1985, North Korea agreed to use nuclear power exclusively for peaceful purposes. But the megalomaniac from Pyongyang managed to find others in the world who wanted to break out of the club of nuclear have-nots and build the bomb themselves.
