unselfish act unlocking Alzheimer's secrets
- An
ongoing study involving almost 700 School Sisters of Notre Dame is
unlocking some of the secrets of Alzheimer's disease and may provide
keys to postponing or preventing its devastating dementia symptoms.
Thanks
to the unselfish participation of the sisters, researcher David
Snowdon said, researchers are finding some answers which reinforce
already well-known advice -- eat fruits and vegetables, cut fat
intake, exercise, keep mentally active, take vitamins and avoid
stroke and head injury.
"
While genetics is very important in the disease, "there are
other factors too," Snowdon said, citing "lifestyle and
environmental factors that we need to focus on."

said people often ask what parents can do to reduce the risk of
Alzheimer's developing in their children. He and other researchers
usually answer, "Read to them." Idea density depends, in
large part, on vocabulary and reading comprehension, and the best
way to increase both early in life is to "read to your
children," he said.

- Vatican
picks 14 journalists to write pope's Good Friday meditations
- VATICAN
CITY (CNS) -- Fourteen journalists from 10 countries have been asked
to prepare the meditations and prayers that will be read as Pope
John Paul II leads the Way of the Cross at Rome's Colosseum on Good
Friday. The journalists, who specialize in covering the Vatican,
include four television correspondents, a radio reporter and nine
print journalists. On March 18 the Vatican press office released the
names of the 14 journalists whose words will guide the March 29
prayer service. Only three of the reporters work for Catholic media:
Aura Miguel Vistas of the Portuguese Catholic Radio Renascenca;
Sophie de Ravinel of I.Media, a French Catholic news agency; and
John Thavis, Rome bureau chief of Catholic
News Service.

- Pope
offers prayers for fathers, asks them to be models of faith
- VATICAN
CITY (CNS) -- Pope John Paul II offered a special prayer for fathers
around the world, asking them to be models of everyday faith for
their children. The Pope made the comments two days before the feast
of St. Joseph -- March 19 -- which is celebrated as Father's Day in
Italy and some other countries. The Pope said St. Joseph accepted
his difficult role by listening to God and trying to understand
God's will. His attitude of respectful reflection and obedience to
God's design earned him the Gospel's definition as a "just
man," he said. "The just person, in fact, is the one who
prays, who lives the faith, and who tries to do good works in every
concrete circumstance of life," the Pope said. He said the
greatest treasure left Christians by St. Joseph was his life of
prayer.

- Florida
House passes ban on human cloning
- WEST
PALM BEACH, Fla. (CNS) -- Florida lawmakers passed a bill March 12
banning so-called "therapeutic" human embryo cloning for
research and reproductive cloning. The hard-fought legislation in
the Florida House of Representatives was contested by some Florida
university researchers and others, but pro-life and other
organizations say a message has been sent to U.S. lawmakers to
follow suit with a federal ban on cloning. The Florida vote was
70-42. An identical bill in the state Senate faces a potentially
tougher fight before the ban would become state law.
