The One-Minute Meeting

Hospitals and patients nationwide are scrambling to navigate a national shortage of the ADHD medication Adderall. The shortage is caused by a pandemic-era increase in people using the medication and production interruptions. Some patients are skipping doses to make their medication supplies last longer. This is just one of 200 drug shortages in the United States now.
Fired college athletics coaches are being paid millions of dollars to sit on the sideline. A new investigation by Gray televisions InvestigativeTV found, "Since the fall of 2004, Division I public universities have paid out more than $1.1 billion – or $1.3 billion in today’s dollars due to inflation — to hundreds of coaches in every sport who were let go, largely, because their teams did not win enough." Contrary to popular belief, the mega-bucks contracts are not all covered by deep-pocket donors. They also get funded by student fees and tax dollars. I will link you to a database of 235 college coaching contracts. Prepare to be amazed!
A new study published in the New England Journal of Medicine Evidence finds that working on crossword puzzles, like the ones you find in newspapers, may help mental cognition among seniors. Computerized games do not seem to provide the same benefits. Researchers are not entirely sure why crossword puzzles seem to be so beneficial, and the researchers did not test younger puzzle players. This certainly is good news for newspapers who can market their crosswords as ”good for you," maybe, at least some of you, probably, possibly.
