Not an appetizing scene, for NSA, to see you naked.... huh?

College...*

Nearly a decade has passed since an aspiring young lawyer in California, Anna Alaburda, graduated in the top tier of her class, passed the state bar exam and set out to use the law degree she had spent about $150,000 to acquire.

Soon, in a San Diego courtroom, she will tell a story that has become all too familiar among law students in the United States: Since graduating from the Thomas Jefferson School of Law in 2008, she has yet to find a full-time salaried job as a lawyer.

Charging the school that it inflated the employment data for its graduates as a way to lure students.

But a California judge let Ms. Alaburda's suit proceed, brushing aside efforts by the law school to derail her claims.

"It has taken five years," said her lawyer, Brian A. Procel of Los Angeles. "But this will be the first time a law school will be on trial to defend its public employment figures."
Ms. Alaburda's day in court will take on added meaning: These will be her first public words after years of silence while she pursued a remedy for a legal education gone wrong.

She now has student debt of $170,000, with loan interest around 8 percent. Her law degree was not a ticket to a stable, well-paying career, but an expensive detour before she went on to work in a series of part-time positions, mostly temporary jobs reviewing documents for law firms. 

The intrest rate is 0.25% but the bank's student loans is 8%... Please...

Researchers at Tulane and Michigan State University took leaked Ashley Madison account information, anonymized corporate email addresses and counted.

The researchers found that firms with higher percentages of employees on Ashley Madison had higher levels of innovation, risk-taking, unethical behavior, tax disputes with the government,  less ethical, and scoring twice as high in categories like concerns on bribery and fraud.

However, the more interesting results were the correlations between positive firm attributes and high Ashley Madison membership. These firms were more diverse and more creative, as defined by research and development spending and number of patents.

The researchers interpreted their results in two ways. First, it's possible that firms with higher percentages of employees on Ashley Madison probably do not value or screen for high ethical standards when hiring. Or innovation and creativity are correlated with unethical behavior.

But maybe it's the other way around and adulterers need to be super creative to explain away their affairs and it just so happens.

Most people know that sugar is not good for them, but the risk is less known. 
Sugar is just as much of a silent killer as salt. Excess fructose consumption was linked to leptin resistance, a hormone that tells you when you've had enough food.   It all happens without symptoms or warning bells. 

When glucose is present in the body, the pancreas releases insulin,  causing the cells of the body to absorb sugar from the bloodstream. Through this absorption, the molecule tryptophan, the sleep-inducing culprit of Thanksgiving dinner, is converted into serotonin, the “happiness molecule.” It’s only in severe cases when the bloodstream is completely overloaded with glucose that insulin works too quickly and results in a sugar low, [ hypoglycemia]. Quite the opposite of a sugar high, hypoglycemia will leave you feeling sad, fatigued and in some cases depressed.

Too many calories from any source will be stored as fat if not burned, but the lack of other nutrients in sugar makes it much easier to eat gobs of it with no physical effects to warn of the danger that lurks. That's why you can have an entire king-size bag of licorice at the movies and come out ready to go for dinner. Foods rich in fiber, fat and protein all have been associated with increased fullness

Simple sugars coming from fruit are less concerning given their high amounts of disease-fighting compounds and fiber.                    Just a thought.

And it is working.

Sportscaster Erin Andrews won a $55 million judgment against a stalker and the owner of a Nashville hotel. The stalker filmed Andrews by removing door peepholes and aiming a cell phone camera into her room and recorded secret nude videos of her and posted on the internet.

Andrews took the stand, tearfully describing the humiliation of knowing millions of people had watched the footage and of being harassed online and in public.

The hotel's owner, West End Hotel Partners argued that the stalker alone was responsible for the crimes.  Also argued that Andrews' continued professional success.
The jury accepted Andrews's contention that the whole incident wouldn't have happened had the hotel staff not been careless in:

(1) telling  [the stalker] that Andrews was a guest at that hotel; 
(2) disclosing her room number; and 
(3) granting Barrett's request to be placed in a room next to hers. 

This is serious business. The hotel should respected her privacy. Just a thought.
