 Eating peanuts daily improves memory and brain function in just 16 weeks. Daily peanut consumption significantly boosts memory and brain blood flow in older adults. New clinical research has delivered a stunning revelation: eating a modest daily portion of peanuts significantly boosts memory and enhances blood flow to the brain in older adults. This simple, natural intervention offers a compelling contrast to the failed promise of drug-based approaches for age-related cognitive decline. Link |
| [Prostate Screening] Well it seems like if you’re over 70, black or Jewish living in England, you’re screwed. At the beginning of November I had a prostatectomy because my PSA numbers had been steadily rising over a two-year period. I’m 69 and the numbers were about normal for someone my age, but my primary doctor was concerned about the fact that my numbers were rising steadily. So he scheduled a MRI for me and unfortunately, they showed some areas of concern. Next came the biopsy and this showed a higher Gleason score in several areas. At this point the Urologist said it needed to be taken care of; and my choices were radiation or complete removal. Radiation consists of an hour of radiation a day for five days a week for seven weeks with no guarantee of complete success. So I figured, just take it out and be done with it. The operation was very straightforward and recovery has been good, the down side is the catheter which I had for about five days and the removal was less than fun. So basically all us old farts should have the PSA test done when we get our yearly physical and get your colonoscopy done too. |

| Deer Abby, I heard that prostate cancer screening in men over 70 is no longer recommended because most men over 70 have low PSA numbers indicating surgery is recommended. They say we won’t live long enough for actual cancer to take over and kill us but the operation most likely will or cause other awful problems. Signed, Trouble peeing

 [Peed in Pants] I bought 3 pair of men’s underwear from the GAP. They didn’t have a fly. What were they thinking? Are they for eunuchs? I found this out by accident. Yep, I couldn’t get it out fast enough. They looked like they had a fly, there was a junk pouch sewed in but no fly. Imagine going to the men’s room at a fancy restaurant and having to drop your trousers and then dropping your underwear to get to your pee tube, standing at the urinal with your ass and junk all out! There was no mention of flyless briefs in the ad. You’d think they would mention something so important. |

| [Hacker Crooks] Clickjacking is a classic attack that consists of covering up a section of a web page that can act as the container for a second separate page or resource of some other website in an attempt to trick the user into unintentionally interacting with it. It works great if you need to trick someone into pressing a button or two, but for anything more complicated it’s kind of unrealistic. I’ve discovered a new technique that turns classic clickjacking on its head and enables the creation of complex interactive clickjacking attacks, as well as multiple forms of data exfiltration. I call this technique “SVG clickjacking”. Link |

 Did anybody get their $500 Trump watches that were promised to donors by August? BTW, they are no longer saying they are made in America. Did I get the name right? He didn’t change the name of the country too, did he? |
| [Friday Joke] In my neighborhood, there was a couple who had given their twin sons very weird names. One was named Trouble, while the other boy’s name was Mind Your Own Business. So, one day they were playing hide and seek. Mind Your Business counted to a hundred and then started looking for his brother. But somehow he couldn’t find him anywhere. He saw a police car passing the neighborhood, so he stopped it to ask for help. When the police officer asked him for his name, he replied, “Mind Your Own Business!” Feeling insulted, the police officer still asked politely who he was looking for. Mind Your Own Business replied, “I am looking for Trouble!” |
