• "Distractions from your smartphone could cause long-term damage to your children, according to new research looking at the impact of fragmented care on brain development."
• Interruptions of parents while bonding with your children may attribute to their arrested development as a form of neglect as people are frequently distracted with their phones and different technologies during times that are naturally used for human connection.
2. Miami doctor suspended after video of her attacking Uber driver goes viral 
• http://www.miamiherald.com/news/local/community/miami-dade/brickell/article55914035.html 
• Fourth-year neurology resident, Anjali Ramkissoon, is on administrative leave after hitting and screaming profanities at an Uber driver in the Brickell area. 
• Apparently there was some kind of misunderstanding between a fourth-year medical student and an Uber driver after the medical student demanded a ride and became violent, throwing supplies and other items out of the Uber driver's window. 
3. Woman bites off fingers of 89-year-old man
• http://www.gainesville.com/article/20160123/ARTICLES/160129852?tc=cr 
• "Linda Kay Swift, 52, of 1201 NW Sixth St., was charged with aggravated battery on a person age 65 or older, according to an arrest report." 
• Apparently unprovoked and without reason, Swift bit off the fingers of another man in the same home as her... my only question is what provoked this?? Apparently Swift provided no statement as to what motivated her to do so. 
4. Massage parlor employee facing prostitution charge
• http://www.tallahassee.com/story/news/2016/01/24/massage-parlor-employee-facing-prostitution-charge/79262674/ 
• "A 55-year-old woman is facing a prostitution charge after the Leon County Sheriff's Office said she offered to perform a "sexual act" on an undercover detective" 
• That description is a fairly accurate description of what happened... A massouse offered sexual favors to an undercover detective and got busted... pretty self explanatory... 
5. Two dead after speeding through Cocoa stoplight, troopers say
• http://www.orlandosentinel.com/news/breaking-news/os-brevard-traffic-stop-two-dead-20160124-story.html 
• "Two people who sped through Cocoa, away from a cop and through a stoplight, have died.... Two people died in Cocoa early Sunday morning after they sped away from a cop and blew through a red light, troopers say" 
• Two people in a Nissaan Altima died trying to evade a cop in South Florida after being caught for speeding... Really an awful set of circumstances, but seems like pretty instant karma to me..
