Three Good Samaritans are being hailed a hero after he came to the rescue after a driver whose car went into Lake Minnetonka and was starting to sink underwater.
Surf s up in Minnesota, wipeout ahead Wakesurf boats are disrupting shores, lake bottoms and other boaters.

Another invasive species is showing up on recreational lakes, one that could become more insidious than zebra mussels or curly pondweed. They re brightly colored, ear-pounding loud and more powerful than most cars. Unlike pondweed, these things affect lake bottoms, lake surfaces and lakeshores.
They re wakesurf boats, the hottest-selling watercraft in Minnesota and Wisconsin. The pricey rigs are specially built to create 2-foot waves, cresting ever higher with newer versions.
Starting a few years back, boats were fitted with ballast tanks to push their sterns down and churn big waves for steeper launch for wakeboarders to fly and twist and flip.

Do our brains age faster than the rest of our bodies?
April 21, 2021USC
If you feel your brain power diminishing as you advance into middle age and beyond, blame your neural stem cells. In a new study published in
Cell Stem Cell, a team led by USC Stem Cell scientist Michael Bonaguidi demonstrates that neural stem cells the stem cells of the nervous system age rapidly.
“There is chronological aging, and there is biological aging, and they are not the same thing,” said Bonaguidi, an Assistant Professor of Stem Cell Biology and Regenerative Medicine, Gerontology and Biomedical Engineering at the Keck School of Medicine of USC. “We’re interested in the biological aging of neural stem cells, which are particularly vulnerable to the ravages of time. This has implications for the normal cognitive decline that most of us experience as we grow older, as well as for dementia, Alzheimer’s disease, epilepsy and brain injury.”
