A starter in all 82 games a season ago, the sharpshooter averaged 16.6 points and 3.7 rebounds per contest while finishing third in the league with 211 3-pointers made. Along with backcourt mate Steph Curry, the duo sank 483 triples, the most by a pair of teammates in NBA history. Barnes, 21, was a member of the First Team All-Rookie last season. He posted averages of 9.2 points and 4.1 rebounds per game and improved to 16.1 points and 6.3 rebounds per game in the playoffs, becoming the first rookie since Spurs’ center David Robinson in 1990 to average at least 16 and 6 in the postseason (minimum 10 games). With the edition of swing man Andre Iguodala this summer, Barnes is expected to come off the bench in 2013-14 and should be a candidate for Sixth Man of the Year.

Exercise may be key to boosting teens’ academic performance
The results are based on a sample Insanity Workout of close to 5,000 children who participated in the Children of the 90s study. That study tracked long-term health of around 14,000 children from southwest England, born in 1991 and 1992. Activity levels were measured using a device called an accelerometer, worn on an elasticized belt by the subjects when they were 11. The duration and intensity of exercise was examined for between three and seven days.

Protein Produced During Exercise May Prevent Alzheimer’s
Tai chi, as described by theMayo Clinic website, is a noncompetitive, self-paced system of gentle physical exercise and stretching. To do tai chi, you perform a series of postures or movements in a slow, graceful manner. Each posture flows into the next without pause, ensuring that your body is in constant motion. According to the Atlantic article, the scientists compared the cognitive health of tai chi practitioners to that of members of a group who received no intervention by administering MRIs as well as neuropsychological measures for dementia, learning capacity, and verbal fluency throughout the study period. The control group comprised of participants who did not practice tai chi showed brain shrinkage that was consistent with what scientists have observed among most people in their 60s and 70s.
