After four years of bitter criticism by former President Donald Trump, who accused the intelligence community of "Nazi"-like practices and ... read more

Death Doesn’t Pay: How the Social Security Administration Knows You’ve Died*Stephen Silver* *Social Security, * For family members to say nothing, and continue collecting Social Security benefits, is illegal. Social Security is a program that provides benefits to Americans, usually after they have retired, for the rest of their lives. But how does Social Security know when people have passed away, and are therefore no longer eligible for benefits? The Social Security Administration has published a document stating the things that Social Security can do to “help,” following the death of a family member. “You should let us know as soon as possible when ... read more

Mad Scientists: DARPA Engineers Want Planes That Can See Through Everything*David Axe* *Security, * The need is clear. *Key Point: *Despite big advancements in sensor technology in recent years, clouds can still block a warplane crew’s view — and make it impossible to support troops on the grounds. Synthetic aperture radars can peer through weather, but these sensors generally are too big and unwieldy to help in a fast-evolving close-air-support scenario. That could change soon.

Social Security Beneficiaries Could See Their Income Jump 6.1 Percent*Stephen Silver* *Social Security, * Of course, it’s not all good news, since inflation means that Social Security beneficiaries will be paying higher prices for goods, along with everyone else. *Here's What You Need to Remember: * A lot of people are concerned about rising inflation in the present economy, but one group that seems likely to benefit from inflation is Social Security beneficiaries. That’s because of the cost-of-living adjustment (COLA) built into Social Security, which could cause benefits to jump as high as 6.1 percent. That’s the prediction, issued earlier thi... read more

While certainly a boon for those currently claiming Social Security, this boost may prove to be a one-off, with a return to the norm of only marginal yearly increases likely as the effects... read more

ACE Inhibitors And ARB Blood Pressure Medicines Work About Equally But This One Has More Side EffectsBlood pressure is a risk factor for a heart event and angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors and angiotensin receptor blockers (ARBs) are common prescriptions. Both types of medicines work on the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system, a group of related hormones that act together to regulate blood pressure. ACE inhibitors lower blood pressure by blocking an enzyme early in the system so that less angiotensin, a chemical that narrows blood vessels, is produced, and blood vessels can remain wider and more relaxed. ARBs block receptors in the blood vessels that angiotensin atta... read more
