Many older adults worry about their memory and other thinking abilities. For example, they might be concerned about taking longer than before to learn new things, or they may sometimes forget to pay a bill.

It's normal to forget things once in a while as we age, but serious memory problems make it hard to do everyday things like dri...

It includes bushes, shrubs, ground covers, scrub oak and the cotoneasters to name a few. We take it as it is given to us,...
As a conservative and a recovering legislator, I’ve always believed that public policy should be based on facts, not feelings. Laws, regulations and spending decisions from elected officials and executive branch agencies should be driven by science, economics and other relevant fields of research — not ideology or special interests. It’s simple really: Ignore the facts when making policy and the policy won’t work. As founding father John Adams famously quipped: Facts are stubborn things. But that raises the question: Where do we find the fac...
