There are studies that dispute the “salt equals hypertension” theory. Fifty-seven trials reviewed over a 25-year period (1966-2001) showed that in individuals with normal blood pressure, a low-sodium diet resulted in an average decline of systolic blood pressure of just 1.27 mmHG and a decline of diastolic pressure of only 0.54 mmHg.

The Journal of the American Medical Association published the results of a study of 3,681 subjects for a median of 7.9 years that found death rates actually increased as the subjects ate less salt.   Continue reading “Salt Restriction Increases Mortality Risk”

“See – this is what happens when you don’t cooperate with the police!” snarled Neil Uhrig as he pinned Melissa Miller to the floor of her home. It’s not clear whether  Officer Uhrig was expressing satisfaction at the expense of the traumatized woman, or trying to tutor her screaming nine-year-old daughter, Julliet, who had watched in horror as Uhrig assaulted her mother, threw her against a couch, and then handcuffed her while thrusting a knee into the middle of her back.   Continue reading ““Cooperate” With the Police — Or Be Assaulted in Front of Your Children”

Apparently, the President had ingested some kind of weird drug, because when he stepped to the podium he didn’t look at the teleprompter. He just started talking.

“…like every other recent President, when I take to this platform I’m expected to tell a certain number of lies dressed up as the truth. And believe me, folks, I had a few whoppers ready to go.   Continue reading “Obama and the State of the Onion Address”

Marijuana Legalization Bill Introduced in MissouriThe Daily Chronic – by Thomas H. Clarke

JEFFERSON CITY, MO — On Wednesday, Rep. Chris Kelly (D-Columbia) introduced House Bill 1659, which would allow adults to possess and grow small amounts of marijuana and set up a taxed and regulated marijuana commerce.

If passed, adults 21 or older would be allowed to grow up to eight plants and possess up to sixteen ounces of marijuana per household.  The bill would also establish a process for allowing medical marijuana with a doctor’s recommendation for those under 21, and allow the cultivation of industrial hemp.   Continue reading “Marijuana Legalization Bill Introduced in Missouri”

The next bed could cost you a lot if the hospital says you're there on observation.NPR – by Ina Jaffe

If you’re on Medicare and you’re in the hospital for a few days, you may think you’re an inpatient. The hospital may have other ideas. Increasingly, hospitals are placing older patients on “observation status.” They may be there for days, but technically they’re still outpatients.

This is a big deal for someone on Medicare because follow-up treatment in a nursing home isn’t covered unless someone has been an inpatient for at least three days. That’s leaving some seniors on the hook for thousands of dollars in nursing home bills.   Continue reading “For Hospital Patients, Observation Status Can Prove Costly”

In former times, the rise in the gold price was held down by central banks selling gold or leasing gold to bullion dealers who sold the gold. The supply added in this way to the market absorbed some of the demand, thus holding down the rise in the gold price.   Continue reading “Why is the Fed tapering?”

Police in Fort Collins, Colo., are asking Super Bowl partiers to let them know how many people you’re expecting for the big game, what time the festivities will get under way and — most importantly — two phone numbers where you can be reached if things get out of hand.

“If you live in the city limits of Fort Collins and you are hosting a Super Bowl Party, you can register your party with the City,” states a notice on the website for the city’s Neighborhood Services Department.   Continue reading “Cops get all Big Brother on one town’s Broncos fans”

U.S. Army convoys will soon be able to roll into even the roughest of unfriendly foreign urban areas and combat zones without the worry of loss of life, thanks to new technology that will make large vehicles fully autonomous.

In demonstrations earlier this month at Fort Hood, Texas, the U.S. Army Tank-Automotive Research, Development and Engineering Center (TARDEC) and Lockheed Martin demonstrated the ability of the Autonomous Mobility Appliqué System (AMAS), which gives full autonomy to convoys to operate in urban environments. In tests, driverless tactical vehicles were able to navigate hazards and obstacles including pedestrians, oncoming traffic, road intersections, traffic circles and stalled and passing vehicles.   Continue reading “Driverless Trucks Will Keep Army Safe From IEDs”

President Viktor Yanukovych wants any amnesty to be conditional on protesters leaving official buildings and dismantling barricades.   Continue reading “Ex-president warns Ukraine ‘on brink of civil war’”

I have 3 Words to say about this: Marbury Versus Madison. According to the Supreme Court Ruling in MVM: “ANY law passed that is in obvious disregard to the constitution of the United States is no law and is void .” We are therefore under no obligation to obey any law that is unlawful and void.
