In the study, researchers looked at the effects of drinking wild blueberry juice on memory decline in nine adults in their 70s who were experiencing age-related memory decline problems, such as memory lapses.
The participants drank about two and a half cups each day of blueberry juice made from commercially available frozen wild blueberries for 12 weeks. A comparison group of seven older adults drank a similar amount of placebo non-juice beverage for the same time period.
Researchers conducted memory tests, such as word association and list learning and recall tasks, at the beginning and end of the study.
The results showed that those who drank blueberry juice showed significant improvement on learning and memory tests compared to the placebo group.
Researchers say there were also trends suggesting reduced symptoms of depression and lower glucose levels among the wild blueberry juice drinkers, but further research will be needed to confirm these results

Dream was narrowly eclipsed by Taylor Swift's Fearless. Both sold more than 3 million copies in the Nielsen SoundScan tracking year that ended Sunday; final figures will be released today. Fearless, with sales to date of 5.3 million copies, arrived in 2008, so Dream is the top-selling 2009 release.
The Scottish singer, 48, whose audition on Britain's Got Talent launched her Cinderella odyssey, had been galloping toward Swift since Dream's release Nov. 23.
After entering Billboard with 701,000 copies, the year's highest entry and the biggest debut for a female artist since SoundScan began tabulating sales in 1991, Dream racked up more than 500,000 copies in each of the next four weeks, a feat achieved by only four albums, according to Billboard. (The other three: The Beatles' 1, the Backstreet Boys' Black & Blue and Garth Brooks' Sevens.)
"If the record wasn't great and Susan wasn't special, we couldn't have done this," says Columbia Records chairman Steve Barnett.
"Even eight weeks out from the street date, we saw an incredible response," he says. "Amazon preorders were the biggest in their history. QVC gave us a shot, and it was phenomenal. The real challenge was convincing retail to buy enough CDs. We had an incredibly aggressive campaign that didn't go by rules normally associated with the record business. Then it became self-perpetuating, a record everyone wanted to give to their mom, their auntie, whomever."
The Boyle juggernaut demonstrates how in the past year "the music industry has become more proficient at marketing through all channels," says Eric Weinberg, president of Nielsen Entertainment. "At a time when there's such emphasis on digital (sales), this was almost a pure CD artist, marketed through word of mouth, TV and the Internet. Labels are challenging tradition and creating new opportunities, looking at each album as unique and tailoring campaigns accordingly."
Boyle triumphed "because everyone knew Susan. And we're in a period in this country when everyone wants a great story."
Barnett isn't disappointed that Boyle, who placed second to a dance troupe on the British talent show, landed behind Swift in the 2009 album race.
"She's done things that have never been done," he says. "And at a time people are questioning the future of CDs, she proved there is a future."As for Boyle's future, Barnett says, "It's an open sketchbook. She can do whatever she wants."


This is one of the best poem ever
Phenomenal Woman
Pretty women wonder where my secret lies.
I'm not cute or built to suit a fashion model's size
But when I start to tell them,
They think I'm telling lies.
I say,
It's in the reach of my arms
The span of my hips,
The stride of my step,
The curl of my lips.
I'm a woman
Phenomenally.
Phenomenal woman,
That's me.
I walk into a room
Just as cool as you please,
And to a man,
The fellows stand or
Fall down on their knees.
Then they swarm around me,
A hive of honey bees.
I say,
It's the fire in my eyes,
And the flash of my teeth,
The swing in my waist,
And the joy in my feet.
I'm a woman
Phenomenally.
Phenomenal woman,
That's me.
Men themselves have wondered
What they see in me.
They try so much
But they can't touch
My inner mystery.
When I try to show them
They say they still can't see.
I say,
It's in the arch of my back,
The sun of my smile,
The ride of my breasts,
The grace of my style.
I'm a woman
Phenomenally.
Phenomenal woman,
That's me.
Now you understand
Just why my head's not bowed.
I don't shout or jump about
Or have to talk real loud.
When you see me passing
It ought to make you proud.
I say,
It's in the click of my heels,
The bend of my hair,
the palm of my hand,
The need of my care,
'Cause I'm a woman
Phenomenally.
Phenomenal woman,
That's me.
Maya Angelou

NYT: Jim Carroll, poet and punk rocker, dead at 60
NEW YORK – Jim Carroll, the poet and punk rocker who wrote "The Basketball Diaries," died Friday. He was 60.
He died from a heart attack at his home in Manhattan, his ex-wife Rosemary Carroll told the New York Times.
In the 1970s, Carroll was a fixture of the burgeoning downtown New York art scene, where he mixed with artists such as Andy Warhol, Patti Smith, Larry Rivers and Robert Mapplethorpe. His life was shaped by drug use, which he wrote about extensively.
Carroll also published several poetry collections, while his 1980 album, "Catholic Boy," has been hailed as a landmark punk record, and he became known for one of its songs, "People Who Died."
But it was "The Basketball Diaries," his autobiographical tale of life as a sports star at Trinity, an elite private high school in Manhattan, that brought him his widest audience. The son of a bar owner, Carroll attended the school on a basketball scholarship.
The book, which began life as a journal, was first published in 1978 and then became even more popular, particularly on college campuses, when it was issued as a mass-market paperback two years later. A 1995 movie version starred Leonardo DiCaprio.
His poetry career started even earlier. Carroll was in his teens when he first received recognition for his poems, especially "Organic Trains" in 1967 and then "4 Ups and 1 Down" in 1970. Among his other works are collections such as "The Book of Nods" (1986), "Fear of Dreaming" (1993) and "Void of course: Poems 1994-1997" (1998).
Carroll left New York in 1973 and moved to California, where he met his future wife Rosemary Klemfuss. They later divorced.
It was Smith who encouraged his music, and he formed the Jim Carroll Band. Among his other albums were the less successful "Dry Dreams" (1982) and "I Write Your Name" (1984).
