A former Florida police officer is heading to prison for his role in an illegal online pharmacy scheme that he ran with another officer, nurses, and several pharmacists. The scheme brought in more than $9 million in revenue in about three years, officials said.
Craig Greer, 43, took part in promoting the online scheme and helped his conspirators launder the money through a brick-and-mortar pharmacy called Discount Pharmacy of Pines, according to officials. Between 2009 and 2012, Greer and his accomplices distributed hundreds of thousands of narcotic pills like hydrocodone, phentermine, Xanax, and codeine to clients across the country.
Greer was sentenced last week to 60 months in prison by U.S. District Judge Richard A. Jones, who told the former officer at sentencing that the conspiracy “pumped into our community an enormous amount of drugs…impacting people you will never see but whose lives and families you destroyed by feeding their addiction.”

Yet Another Weather Record: India Had Its Hottest Day Ever

 It's getting hot in here.

An Indian woman walks on the parched bed of Chandola Lake.

Here’s yet another “record-breaking heat” story for your global warming scrapbook: an Indian city hit the hottest recorded temperature in that country’s history: 51 degrees Celsius, or 123.8 degrees Fahrenheit. India’s previous record, 50.6 degrees, was set in 1956.
The record was set in Phalodi, a small city in the midst of a heat wave that has already killed dozens of people across northern India, according to the BBC. Last year, a heatwave in India killed more than 2300 people.

Of course, extreme weather records driven by climate change aren’t unusual these days. Last month was the warmest April on record on Earth. January 2016 was the warmest January ever recorded. Last summer was the hottest summer on record, beating the previous record set in 2014. There were record warm temperatures in cities across America last December, with more than 5,900 daily records for highs and lows set.

A weekly protest targeting the center Iraq’s government spiraled once again into chaos on Friday with bursts of gunfire and reports of dozens injured.
Iraqi security forces used tear gas, water cannons, and live bullets to beat back throngs of demonstrators, most of them Shiite Muslims, who’d broken through barriers in the heavily-fortified Green Zone in Baghdad. For the second time in less than a month, protestors managed to enter government buildings and occupy them for several hours. The Iraqi army later declared a curfew across Baghdad, the BBC and local media reported.

Adult FriendFinder Creator Is On A Quest To Find Robot Souls

The internet pioneer wants to use art to find them

An internet pioneer who first taught the world how to find friendship, love, and sex online a quarter century ago is trying to determine at what point artificial intelligence develops emotional intelligence, and he thinks he can do it with an art contest.
About 31 different robots competed for $100,000 in prizes at the first annual International Robot Art Competition. The vote was based on 2,200 votes cast on Facebook as well as judgment from six art critics who have experience working with technology. The fan and judge favorite was TAIDA from the National Taiwan University. TAIDA won first place and $30,000 for several Pointillism-style works, including a still life of fruit, landscape of the Taiwan coast, and a portrait of Albert Einstein.

9 Amazing Facts About The Vagina

8000 Nerve Endings in the Clitoris

What we commonly refer to as the vagina is actually made up of several parts. The outer area is called the vulva, made up of the inner and outer labia (“lips”), the clitoris, the clitoral hood, and the urethra. The true “vagina” is actually the interior area, which includes the cervix, uterus, ovaries, and fallopian tubes. The clitoris is the organ exclusively reserved for a woman's pleasure during sex – as so, it contains 8,000 nerve-endings.

This sounds all well and good compared to the glans of the penis, which has only 3500. But, if you're comparing nerve-endings to the ENTIRE penis, including foreskin, that number, er, jacks up to 24,000. (Sorry, ladies - thought you had us beat.)
