In a decision which serves as a parable both about friendship and the importance of writing things down, Justice Marguerite Church details the sad demise of the friendship Rosas once enjoyed with her friend Hermenisabel Toca. Fittingly, Toca and Rosas were hanging out on a day off when Rosas decided to check a lottery ticket at Oakridge mall in January 2007.

Dismissing risks, Trump goes all-in on Bill Clinton's past
Donald Trump says he took the moral high ground at the first presidential debate by not mentioning the infidelities of former President Bill Clinton. "An impeachment for lying," Trump said Thursday at a campaign rally in New Hampshire, referring to the effort to remove Bill Clinton from office for lying about his affair with White House intern Monica Lewinsky. The Republican nominee's decision to dredge up the former president's sexual history is a risky move in his campaign against Democrat Hillary Clinton, whose own team isn't fazed by the attack line.

The maker of the EpiPen just made a big change to the story it told Congress last week
This is quite the oversight. The pharmaceutical company Mylan, which makes the EpiPen, is now saying it understated the profits it derives from the life-saving allergy drug by 60% in a congressional hearing last week, according to The Wall Street Journal. It had said it made $100 off each $608 two-pack of the drug it sold. The Journal reported, however, that Mylan "substantially reduced its calculation of EpiPen profits by applying the statutory US tax rate of 37.5%." Mylan paid a 7.4% tax rate last year after moving its business to The Netherlands for tax purposes. The company's CEO, Heather Bresch, was called to the House of Representatives to answer for why her company had raised the EpiPen's
