For example, one study published in 2013 found that participants who ate a greater amount of berries experienced a slower cognitive decline, of up to 2.5 years difference, as they aged. In people with mild cognitive impairment, another study published in 2011 found that drinking wild blueberry juice was associated with improved cognitive functioning. Studies have also found specific benefits in overall memory, spatial memory, and working memory.

Because Hoyer is playing well and the Browns are in playoff contention at 3-2, it’s brought up whether that would prompt the Browns to extend his contract before he becomes a free agent in 2015. MORE: To buy or not to buy: That is the Browns’ Brian Hoyer question ESPN’s Ed Werder reported on Tuesday that hasn’t been the case.

It’s almost like the people asking that question have never watched the Mets on days that Jacob deGrom pitches.

It was two years ago, after all, that the Rockets made a splash with innovative offers to Jeremy Lin and Omer Asik, both restricted free agents. Just weeks ago, though, Houston gave away both Asik and Lin for little return, presumably to help keep another restricted free agent, Chandler Parsons. Instead, the Rockets let Parsons walk and turned the Asik departure into a deal for Trevor Ariza. If one accepts the position of utter RFA confusion, then there will be considerably less surprise that two of the top young players at their positions — Pistons big man Greg Monroe and Suns guard Eric Bledsoe — remain unsigned as we enter late July....

With that track record, it is little wonder that most around the league expect the Rockets to again be on the hunt when the deadline comes around next month. But in the locker room, Rockets players have some doubt as to whether further moves are necessary, pointing out that injuries to players like Omer Asik and Patrick Beverley have held the team back somewhat. Asked whether the Rockets, as currently constructed, can contend for a championship, point guard Jeremy Lin said, “I think we are....

The audience gets the joke, yet the fate of Seagram is no laughing matter these days for the 44-year-old Bronfman.

Bronfman insists he’ll be running Seagram “for a long time” and recently dismissed the conjecture about his selling out as “inaccurate....

Four quotes—one from the crown prince of Saudi Arabia, Mohammed bin Salman, one from the Saudi foreign minister, Prince Faisal bin Farhan, one from the Emirati minister for foreign affairs, Dr. Anwar Gargas, and only one from Israel’s prime minister, Benjamin Netanyahu.

Because for the first time in the history of the Middle East, the region speaks with one voice—a voice that now demands to be heard....

So there I sat, cozily wrapped in my premise, when a traitorous paper arrived in the mail-asking the question “Where Are the Gains From International Diversification?” The author, Rex Sinquefield, is a respected student of markets. His titre, Dimensional Fund Advisers (DFA), in Santa Monica, Calif., runs more than $10 billion in mutual funds for institutions and clients of fee-only financial advisers. Sinquefield contends that the typical foreign funds we buy–the ones that invest in the strongest stocks in the industrial world–aren’t accomplishing what we think....

The Houston Astros said Wednesday that MacKenzie died Tuesday. The team didn’t provide the cause of death.

“Are we paying attention to how bad this is?” Bryan Dean Wright, a former CIA officer, asked Fox News host Ed Henry on Thursday morning. “In the next two or more years when a Democrat gets into the White House, whatever year that might be, do you not think that the conservatives or the Republican spies might strike back? What kind of game are we playing?” The segment kicked off with a discussion about a New York Times report published Wednesday on the consequences of Trump’s war with the so-called “deep state....

The incident highlights the relative frequency of these types of sexual crimes. Late last month, for example, a church parishioner in California was arrested after hidden cameras were discovered in the women’s restroom.

And in August, a music teacher was sentenced to 50 years in prison after hiding cameras in the bathroom of his children’s music school and recording footage of his students, their parents, and other teachers....
