Statins carry many warnings such as Memory Loss, Mental Confusion, high blood sugar, and type 2 diabetes as possible side effects.  Extreme muscle inflammation and damage is an issue. Kidneys can become damaged trying to eliminate a large amount of muscle breakdown caused by statin use.

Headache, Difficulty sleeping, Muscle aches, Tenderness, or Weakness (myalgia), Drowsiness, and Dizziness are also in the list.

Statin therapy has been associated with Worsening Erectile Function. [WebMD]

With  these serious side effects, it is important to look into nutrition. What are you eating and what is the healthy way to eat.  It is all out there and it will help get off that particular medication.         [Speak to your Doctor].       Just an [urgent] thought.

Shkreli was convicted of securities fraud and conspiracy in what prosecutors said amounted to a Ponzi scheme. Shkreli called the charges "a witch hunt of epic proportions."

During his sentencing in Brooklyn federal court, Shkreli, 34, broke into tears and pleaded with the judge for leniency as she passed him a box of tissues.
At his trial last year, Shkreli often wore a smirk and was chastised by the judge for his behavior, including for an incident in which he told reporters that the prosecutors on the case were "junior varsity." He also ignored the advice of his lawyer by commenting on the trial via social media and YouTube.
Shkreli gained notoriety for inflating the price of a life-saving drug, but that was ok according to the law.  Something is out of balance here.

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.
