Millions of people dream of playing professional sports, and most
people who do play professional sports try to keep on doing it for as
long as they possibly can. When an elite athlete chooses to walk away
early, it can be a jarring reminder of the distance between regular
people and phenomenally talented ones: This thing that we fantasize
about, they’re willing to throw away. We want nothing more than to
escape into their worlds; they want a ticket out. We can explain it
away — say “his legacy is secure” or “she’s going out on
top” or “he has nothing left to prove”— but underneath, the
choice still elicits a shiver of baffled envy.

Scientists have uncovered a toxic alliance between A? and fibrinogen
that may explain how Alzheimer's disease begins. The two proteins
together create stubborn clots that damage blood vessels and spark
inflammation in the brain. These effects appear even at very low
concentrations and disrupt the blood-brain barrier, paving the way for
neurodegeneration. The findings highlight a potential new therapeutic
target for early intervention.

South Carolina utility seeks private partner to revive nuclear power

South Carolina's state-owned utility is negotiating with Brookfield
Asset Management to revive a nuclear power project abandoned eight
years ago. The project lost over $9 billion without generating power.
Santee Cooper's board agreed Friday to six weeks of talks, hoping
Brookfield will build the plants at their own risk. The utility might
receive some power generated. Challenges remain, including inspections
and permit renewals. Interest in the project has grown due to
increased power demand. Nuclear watchdog Tom Clements says it appears
Brookfield can walk away if the project proves too costly to renew.

Russia's population is getting smaller and older. Putin sees that as a

Russia has grappled with a shrinking and aging population for decades,
with President Vladimir Putin viewing it as a threat to national
security. Yet despite efforts like cash incentives and family-friendly
policies, the number of deaths now outpaces births. Economic
uncertainty, restrictions on immigration and the war in Ukraine are
making the crisis worse. Desperate to reverse the trend, Russian
authorities are also rolling out a wave of restrictive laws, such as
banning "child-free propaganda" and limiting access to abortions.
Putin has said that he wants to see a return to a time when women had
"seven, eight, and even more children."

Europe struggles for diplomatic influence amid Trump's foreign policy
[[link removed]}&lead=419599&emailid=247354&nl=daily]

Donald Trump has seized a central role on the global stage, leaving
European allies on the sidelines. European governments have struggled
to influence Trump's policies on Ukraine and the Israel-Hamas war.
Geopolitical risk expert Lindsay Newman says Trump's agenda disproves
the idea that "America First" means isolationism. European efforts to
bolster U.S. support for Ukraine got a boost this week when Trump
imposed sanctions on Russian oil and gas. But Trump continues to
express frustration with Kyiv and has not managed to secure a
ceasefire. European leaders also have had little impact on Trump's
Gaza peace plan, though they're expected to play a role in
reconstruction.
