No Money...**

Hulk Hogan alleged that Gawker violated his privacy after publishing a secretly recorded video of the ex-pro wrestler having sex with the wife of his then-best friend, Bubba Clem. {Jury awarded $140 Millions}
Gawker said that "publishing of the video is protected by the First Amendment because it's related to a matter of public concern, meaning it was 'newsworthy.'' The company will appeal.
Gawker says a key witness told the FBI that Hogan "knew he was making a sex tape" and that Hogan had sent text messages that undermined his case. "Key evidence and the most important witness (Bubba Clem) were both improperly withheld from the jury,'' a statement.
Gawker has also claimed that Hogan initially filed the lawsuit to prevent the publication of another video that allegedly involves him using racist language, including the "N" word. World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE) severed all ties with Hogan in the wake of that disclosure.
Too much excitement about one sexual act on tape and some want someone to pay. Whatever it is, no Money will exchange hands. Just a thought.

Rage...*
Hyundai Motor has unveiled a concept cockpit for a car that it could "monitor the physical and mental state of the driver." Tracking heart rate, posture, breathing and facial feature recognition. The car would deliver "mood bursts" to make the driver calmer or more alert, Hyundai said in a statement.
The "burst" could include adjusting the seat position for either more alertness or relaxation, as well as adjustments to the warmth of the car's lighting, temperature, music volume and even the scents of lavender or eucalyptus inside the car.
An AAA study last year found that nearly 80 percent of drivers "expressed significant anger, aggression or road rage behind the wheel."
For Hyundai, the future of the car is also clean and connected. The company also announced that it would partner with Cisco to ensure security for self-driving connected cars, and that it would release a new hydrogen fuel cell car by 2018.
The mood burst better comes in the right time otherwise drivers may be more angered at the car itself.

Meddle...
The demonstrations, which began Dec. 28 over the country's struggling economy, have been the largest in Iran since the disputed 2009 presidential election. At least 21 people have been killed and hundreds arrested.
Montazeri said the CIA official sought help from exiled Iranian groups and prepared for various scenarios that included protesting the high cost of living and financial demands on the elderly. Some received intelligence support from Israel and financing from Saudi Arabia -- Iran's two biggest regional adversaries.
The plot focused on fomenting dissent from the countryside to shake Tehran, Montazeri said.
Iranian suspicion of the CIA stretches back to 1953, when the CIA and the British executed the coup that overthrew its elected prime minister and cemented the rule of the American-backed shah.
A top Russian diplomat warned the U.S. not to meddle in Iran's affairs and suggested that Washington wants to use the unrest to undermine the Iran nuclear agreement.
Ambulance...
Health officials in Southern California are warning the public that the current flu season is so intense that some hospitals are rerouting patients due to their increasingly limited capacity.
O.C. Global, one of Orange County's busiest hospitals, announced Thursday afternoon it would no longer be accepting ambulances at its emergency room except for those transporting trauma patients.
Earlier, the City of Riverside held a press conference during which health officials addressed the "surge" in influenza cases during the last week in the city, as well as Riverside County.
Bad situation, hope people protected themselves.

Disarray...
The first step, the governor said, was to sue to upend a new tax law that restricts individuals’ ability to deduct from federal taxes the amount they pay in state and local property taxes, ending standard tax-code practice. Cuomo said it amounted to “double taxation” and a political move to hurt high-tax states led by Democrats.
In the past, Cuomo often used the address to announce major construction projects. Not so, this time. He touched lightly on fixing the subway crisis, We know the problem, we know how to fix it, but we need the money.
While the specifics are still being worked out, they will likely include charging drivers a fee to enter Manhattan’s central business district below 60th Street and a hefty surcharge on app-based services like Uber and Lyft,
First: They don't know how to fix the subway. All what they do is ignore hundred of thousands of people who use the subway system in the evening.
Second: Tax those who drive.
Third: Then play the blame game.
Association...*
Cold cuts can cause weight gain and lead to obesity. Obese individuals are at higher risk for heart disease and diabetes.
Most processed meats and cheeses are high in sodium. A high-sodium diet can cause high blood pressure and increase your risk of developing kidney disease and congestive heart failure. Ham, salami, turkey breast, cheddar, Swiss and American cheese are examples of high-sodium cold cuts.
Saturated fat raises levels of cholesterol in your blood and may increase your risk for heart disease. .
A 2014 study published in the journal Epidemiology found an association between eating processed meats like salami lowers sperm count.
For a safe bet, limit the amount of processed meat you consume. Try to get all-natural and grass-fed–both of which limit the number of hormones you’ll be eating.
Steer away so you can keep your weight down. Just a "food for" thought. [SF Gate-Healthy eating]
Till Death...*
A new research published in JAMA showed that men who took Viagra even once had double the risk of developing Melanoma while frequent users 84% more likely. The average age of 26,000 participant was 65 and 6% had taken the erectile dysfunction drug. Sunlight exposure and family history had been taken into account.
Viagra side-effects includes heartburn, nausea and headaches, added to the relationship side effects of heartburn, nausea and headaches.
The patent for Viagra expired recently. Swiss-based Actavis is now selling 25 mg, 50 mg and 100 mg sildenafil tablets [the Generics] in 11 European markets, including France, Germany and the UK. The generic and cheap alternative are taking over.
All these studies surfaced at the expiration of the patent for a reason. We collected the most money , but now this product is a killer.
Just a repeated thought with the Pharmaceuticals.
Resentment...*
Many women are earning more money than their spouses. The situation is in reverse of what it was just 20 years earlier. Some men feel threatened by their wives’ higher-earning. However, in the beginning, it may be a good selling point.
But soon, women may have a problem coming to terms with being the breadwinner. As a breadwinner, women have more responsibilities at work, home, less flexibility, longer hours, and less options to leave a job or go part time. They are "boxed in."
While women may need the feeling that they can rely on their spouses' support of, physical, emotional, and financial aspects, in this case financial support is lacking.
A male breadwinner expects much support from his wife, but on the reverse this may be an issue of resentment, where the wife's money is supporting the family, the house, the kids, and every thing else.
It is a new era, but some women may stop and think what am I getting out of this guy?
Just a thought.
