AVENTURA, Fla. – Dr. Bindu Mayi said this year’s Halloween is just too scary to allow children to engage in traditional trick-or-treating in their neighborhoods. “They look so adorable and they’re so excited, but I think this is one year out of our entire lives and if we need to play it safe, we need to play it safe,” Mayi said. “We do see young people getting severely ill and also succumbing to it ... we still don’t know who is going to be a long-hauler,” Mayi said. To avoid direct contact with people, set up a clean station with alcohol wipes, hand sanitizer, and individually bagged items. “We really don’t know what the long-term consequences of this infection will be, whether they will have neurological complications, heart complications, years down the road,” Mayi said.

If you're in business to make money, the only way you're going to make money is to attract consumers.

There's controversy brewing about a former employee at the Nova Southeastern University law school. This morning the law school's dean, Thorny Steele, confirmed that he had learned of allegations that the former faculty assistant had been accused of changing grades for law students in exchange for cash. But Steele said there was no investigation into the matter and that he had no intention of starting one based on "rumors." He also insisted the faculty assistant, whose name is being withheld at this time, recently left the employ of NSU on his own volition for reasons that had nothing to do with any allegations. The police officer gave the faculty assistant a trespass warning to stay off campus "until Human Resources determines if he will continue employment at NSU."
