Study Finds Daily Aspirin May Slow Mental Decline in Elderly Women

A study of more than 700 women in Sweden has identified a link between a daily, low dosage aspirin regimen and a slower rate of age related mental decline.

Many of the Swedish women in the study had heart disease and took aspirin daily. Over a five year period, patients taking aspirin daily showed signs of mental decline at much slower rates than patients who did not.

The findings of this study come as no surprise to many doctors, such as Dr. Richard Isaacson who already prescribes a low dosage daily aspirin regimen to his patients at risk of Alzeihmer's disease.

"What is good for the heart is also usually good for the brain," said Dr. Isaacson, director of the Alzheimer's division at the University of Miami Miller School of Medicine.

"I have recommended 81 milligrams of baby aspirin for my patients with any vascular risk factors who are either at risk for developing cognitive decline or who currently have mild cognitive impairment or mild to moderate Alzheimer's disease."

Although long term risks of taking aspirin daily are no known, Dr. Isaacson feels the benefits outweigh the risks.

Aspirin may indeed slow age related mental decline, but senior citizens are encouraged to talk with their doctor before "self medicating" to prevent age related mental decline as with aspirin there is always a small change of gastrointestinal bleeding.

Update - All Charges Against Ehud Halevi Have Been Dropped

I recently wrote about this incident and am so thankful to learn that all charges against homeless man Ehud Halevi have been dropped. Thanks was issued to over 100,000 people that signed the Change.org petition from Rabbi Moishe Feiglin.

Andrew Cuomo: No Law Maker Pay Raises Until Marijuana Decriminalized

Yes, you did read that headline correctly...

New York Governor Andrew Cuomo has been very vocal about the issue of decriminalizing the possession of small amounts of marijuana of residents in New York. Thousands of people in his city each year are criminalized, disproportionately black and latino, and Cuomo thinks that the "crime" of small possession is outweighed by the constraints and costs of the punishment.



Now Governor Cuomo has come and said point blank, "I would not even consider — even consider a pay raise — unless the people's business was being done in a thorough, responsible way," which referenced his "People's Agenda" and includes the decriminalization of small amounts of marijuana possession and a small pay wage increase for citizens.

NYPD Brutally Attack and Beat Homeless Man Ehud Halevi In Synagogue

The NYPD is under fire again - guess why...

You can see in this video that the violence and the extent of the violence was completely uncalled for. They need to be fired after all of the charges are dropped. Watch the video and if this pisses you off as much as me, be sure to read and sign the Change.org petition below.

Sign The Petition

On October 8, 21-year-old Ehud Halevi was sleeping in a youth center run by the New York synagogue where he's a member. Ehud is homeless, so his Rabbi -- who runs programs for at-risk youth like Ehud -- had told him back in September he could sleep there.

In a video that's now gone viral on the internet, two New York police officers are shown waking Ehud in the early morning. Even though Ehud explains to them that he has permission to sleep at the center, they try to arrest him. Then, the officers beat Ehud for almost 5 minutes straight -- even after Ehud can be seen lying down.

And despite the NYPD's beating, it's Ehud who's being charged with assault, and he faces 5 years in prison.

Rabbi Moishe Feiglin feels terrible. This happened at his synagogue’s center and to one of his congregants -- and he just wants Ehud's nightmare to end. Rabbi Feiglin started a petition on Change.org calling for the Brooklyn District Attorney to drop all charges against Ehud.



So far, the NYPD officer who was most involved in Ehud's beating has only been minimally disciplined -- his gun has been taken away and he's been placed on desk duty -- but the other officer hasn't been disciplined at all. Rabbi Feiglin says this is unacceptable. Ehud was eventually arrested and charged with trespassing and assaulting an officer, even though the video shows he didn't fight back.

In the past several months, several tapes of NYPD officers engaged in disproportional and violent exchanges have drawn heat to the department. With pressure rising, Rabbi Feiglin thinks that the support of thousands of people behind Ehud now can get the charges against him dropped.

Thanks for being a change-maker,

Get Your Mitt Romney Condoms - He Is Trying to Screw You, Why Not?

Well this is about the funniest thing I have come across since this election took full swing. At least I know that I can be safe when he tries to f*ck me...



On the one hand, Mitt Romney does answer the man's question adequately, even more thoroughly than provoked. I don't feel his demeanor or interaction with this man was negative, he just simply stated to the man that he thinks he lesser of a human being than Mitt Romney because straight people are simply entitled to certain rights that homosexuals are not entitled to.

I agree with the man 100%, obviously, not that Romney was rude or anything, it's just how he thinks and who he is. Like must republicans, hatred and unconcern of those who are different comes naturally to him.

America Needs A More Effective System of Government

We need a more effective government that we the people run. As I continue to watch the 2012 Presidential Elections unfold, I am starting to really question the necessity of offices of power, like city mayors and even the President of the United States. I feel like our government should be our government, which we the people manage. I feel it is possible, thanks to today’s technology, to run this country without a President. We already have the CIA and military branches that govern security, and there is already a structure of command in place within it. We just need to streamline the way we vote and come up with a more effective way of making decisions in this country.

Throughout history, because of impossibilities in the accounting of mass votings and other constraints due to lack of technology, we have relied on a system that is supposed to be representative of the views of the majority of Americans. However, politics and power have turned our country into a for-profit, not for people, environment. People come into power for one set of reasons and try to sustain it for others. It is really time to take a new look at this country and reinvent ourselves to be smart, successful, efficient Americans that are accepting of all and together manage a profitable, prosperous country.

To do this, I think all Americans eligible and registered to vote should be required to vote once a quarter to maintain voting rights and voting should be done through an account accessible via internet so everyone can vote either at home, a friend’s house, the public library, wherever on their own time. Each voting American should be presented with all issues that they have not voted on since their last vote. All results need to be made available publicly and in real time. All voting history needs to be accessible to ensure that votes have not been changed, altered, or modified in any way. Although it would be a requirement to vote once a quarter, there should be no limited access to the account or the issues that are being voted on.

This may seem like a monumental restructure and even impossible, but could Americans voting for what they want be any less complicated than the system we have now, where Americans try to vote for what they want their voice may or may not be heard...

What If Mitt Romney Wins Election?

It really is hard for me to imagine what it would be like if Mitt Romney and Paul Ryan actually pulled it off and won the election. You know that Fox News and all the hardcore republican media outlets are already working on their "Romeny Wins!" graphics...

When I watched the second presidential debates, there was a number of times that Mitt Romney actually appealed to me, briefly. It's because he sounds so good and what he says sounds so good - and really could work - you just have to remember to factor in the fact that he is a bad professional liar. Reread that last phrase, he's a professional liar, but he's no good at it!

I feel like Obama has this, not because of anything good he's done, but because Mitt Romney continues to paint himself as an awkward, unempathetic titan who is incapable of actually demonstrating concern for the well being of the middle or poor class.

The only reason I continue to be nervous about this election is because the few idiots that have Mitt Romney's back happen to have most of all the money in the world, which really could be an issue for ol' Barack, you, and me...

Paul Ryan's Fake Charity Photo Op

It is really disgusting to me that Paul Ryan and the Mitt Romney team think that the American people are so ignorant to their schemes. Then again, it's disgusting to me that most of my family thinks that Romney is a hero (he's not)...

Paul Ryan had a picture taken of him doing dishes at a soup kitchen. The soup kitchen did not think the publicity stunt was cute at all. It almost disgusting to want a photo of the activity to be released, but if you are going to get a photo out of, take a couple of hours to forget about yourself for a minute and help a stranger, that's the point.

Every move the Romney team makes is another lie...
