...study, presented last year at the Cognitive Neuroscientist Society's annual meeting, psychologist and neuroscientist Helena Westerberg of the Karolinska Institute in Stockholm compared the cognitive abilities of 45 young adults (average age 25) with those of 55 older adults (average age 65). She found that after five weeks of computerized training on tasks ranging from reproducing a series of light flashes to repeating digits in the opposite order that they were given, the older group was able to reach the same level of working memory, attention and reaction time that the younger group had at the outset.

...group that holds the world record for playing the most consecutive concerts without stopping to sober up. It sounds like the boys laid off the hard stuff when they made this disc, and their new-found and short-lived temperance allows them to write excellent songs which use Paul Westerberg's off-key voice to its fullest potential. But the Replacements still know how to have fun: as of recent live gigs, guitarist Bob Stinson has been playing encores nude. Help support these guys' habit...
