Joe's Kansas City Bar-B-Que

The debate over the best barbecue in the US can get heated quickly, encompassing not just quality, but also whether one regional style is inherently better than another.

On Monday, lawyers for Thomas Jefferson School of Law (TJSL), were in court to defend the school against allegations it manipulated post-graduation statistics.

The case centers on Anna Alaburda, a 37-year-old graduate of TJSL. Her lawsuit claims she has sent her resume to more than 150 law firms... Читать дальше...

It's no secret that heroin use is hitting record numbers in the US.

For journalist Erin Marie Daly, that fact became disturbingly real in 2009 when her 20-year-old brother, Pat, died of a heroin overdose.

In the intervening years, the problem has become only worse, with heroin-related overdose deaths nearly quadrupling between 2002 and 2013, according to the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).

Since Pat's overdose, Daly has tried to... Читать дальше...

They don’t call Budapest the “City of Baths” for nothing, as the the Hungarian capital is full of beautiful historic baths built by the Romans. Every weekend, these ancient thermal spas are transformed into absolute ragers — replete with lasers, light shows, live DJs and plenty of booze — thanks to events like Magic Bath and Cinetrip.

The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration released video of what may be a never-before-seen species of octopod. NOAA is exploring the deep-water ecosystems surrounding Hawaii. The creature, nicknamed "Casper" by Twitter users, was discovered during a descent by a remote operated vehicle at a depth of 4,290 feet.

Perhaps you're one of the millions of Americans slightly appalled by the tone of the US presidential election.

Perhaps petty name calling and jokes about the size of a candidates hands don't really do it for you.

But it's doing it for China's state-controlled media, boy I'll tell you what.

Right now, China is also in the midst of some really important political theater — the annual meeting of its National People's Congress.

It's the only time all... Читать дальше...

"Corrupt Marco Rubio has spent years defrauding the people of Florida," the narrator said. Читать дальше...

In a speech Monday, Federal Reserve Governor Lael Brainard admitted there is a liquidity issue in the bond market and that regulation may be a part of the problem.

But, she argued, this regulation is also preventing another 2008-style banking collapse.

Which is simply more important. 

The issue of bond market liquidity has been a consistent theme over the past years or so with financial executives such as JP Morgan CEO Jamie Dimon, Blackstone CEO Steve Schwarzman... Читать дальше...

NASA

NASA astronaut Scott Kelly recently returned to Earth after living in space for 340 days.

While the opportunity to live in space for that long is a privilege reserved for a special few, this honor comes with a cost.

In space, astronauts are exposed to cosmic radiation that would otherwise be absorbed or deflected by Earth's protective atmosphere. 

In fact, experts estimated for Scientific American, that astronauts are exposed 24 times more radiation per year than the average human is on Earth. Читать дальше...

The key to loving your job is to ask yourself one simple question: What is my biggest strength?

Think about it: So many people are in jobs they hate because they haven't found that one true passion.

I like to share a lot of my thoughts about how to execute in business. Читать дальше...
