...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. Studies in patients have involved only small groups, making those results interesting but hardly definitive...
Five of the children abandoned in Nebraska have been from out of state, but most are local. A majority of the children are older than 13 and have a history of being treated for mental-health issues. Nearly every abandoned child came from a single-parent household. In September, one father walked into a hospital and left nine children, ages 1 to 17. He reportedly told hospital workers that he'd been overwhelmed since his wife died a few days after their youngest was born...

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...
