Within the white lines : how the beautiful game saved my life
Growing up, Ruth was on track for an ideal life - she had the grades, friends, great sporting potential and strong bond with her sister. However, when she was 14, her perfect life began to crack. After suffering an injury, Ruth began seeking control in other areas of her life to combat the growing feelings of depression. Having recovered physically, but not mentally, she eventually quit the game she loved so much. Having been let down repeatedly by the authorities - including during a stay in a mental health hospital - she sought support and understanding from authority figures and role models. And as she battled through the next few years, Ruth rediscovered football as a way to keep grounded during the most chaotic times in her life.

Ruth Fox, 93, Dies; Psychoanalyst Pioneered in Treating Alcoholism
LEAD: Dr. Ruth Fox, a psychoanalyst who in 1959 became the first medical director of The National Council on Alcoholism, an agency devoted to alcoholism prevention, died in her sleep Friday at a nursing home in Washington. She was 93 years old and lived in Manhattan. Dr. Fox, a native New Yorker, performed pioneering research on the use of Antabuse, a chemical used widely in alcoholism treatment today. She was founder and first president of the American Medical Society on Alcoholism and Other Drug Dependencies in 1954. She wrote, lectured and taught extensively on the subject. She also maintained a private practice and was one of the first psychoanalysts willing to accept alcoholics as patients.

[Ruth Fox] highlighted the problem in Pontprennau after Stourbridge in the West Midlands hit the national headlines after the RSPCA announced it was investigating the disappearance of more than 40 felines. \"I think cats are magic and I can't imagine why anyone would want to do them deliberate harm, if that is what is happening,\" said Ruth. There's no indication at the moment that 'bagging' is occurring in the Pontprennau area as we haven't had too many people coming forward from that area saying their cats are missing and they suspect foul play, but we will look into the possibility.\"

Purr-muda triangle in the suburbs
\"I don't think they arebeing stolen for the pet market. I can't bear to think what's happening to them.\" \"This was the cat my kids grew up with. I really don't want to think about what's happened to him. It's just devastating when you lose them like this.\" Stourbridge in the West Midlands was branded the Purrmuda Triangle last week - after the Bermuda Triangle in the Atlantic where aircraft and ships have disappeared without trace-when it was revealed so many cats have vanished over the last eight years, the RSPCA has stopped rehoming them there.
