...understandable that so many people would try almost anything, including popping gingko supplements - on which Americans spend more than $100 million annually - in the hopes of holding off the slow and agonizing mental decline that characterizes dementia. The claimed benefits of gingko have mostly been based on the supplement's antioxidant effects, which have been shown in lab studies - but not in patients - to gnaw away at the fatty plaques that infiltrate the Alzheimer's brain and destroy nerve cells.

Ju ’10)—and his passion for his demanding career, embodied by Burns.Halprin gives a strong performance, conveying this mental battle well.

As the final minutes of regulation and overtime wore...
...strong to the end, but sometimes, the fates do not align.“We should be able to handle the physical part of going to overtime over and over,” Nichols said. “I think it’s a sign of the mental toughness to continue to go into these overtimes. Sometimes you win, sometimes you don’t.”It looked for a while this hard play would pay off with a win for the Crimson.With the game tied 1-1 after junior Christina Hagner tallied her team-leading seventh...
