...speculated that aerobic training would increase performance in skills that have to do with executive control--planning, scheduling and/or multiple tasking," says Kramer. "And that's essentially what we found--but not for the nonaerobic group." Besides increasing the flow of blood to the brain, aerobic exercise is believed to stimulate the production of new neurons in the brain and a protein called bdnf (brain-derived neurotropic factor), which helps maintain the health and efficiency of neurons...
...warning last week in Srinagar. Both sides have taken care not to publically flaunt their nuclear capabilities: Islamabad swiftly denounced one hard-line minister who did.

In other words, things shouldn't be made in the first place if they will ultimately become useless junk. Instead of ending up in a pit, they should become a cradle?fodder or springboard?for some...
