Huffington Post: Guatemala Syphilis Study Lawsuit: Dismissal Despite United States Experiments On Natives In 1940s Posted: 23 Jun 2012 09:27 AM PDT A federal court has dismissed a lawsuit fingering U.S. government-sponsored experiments that infected hundreds of Guatemalans with venereal diseases. From 1946-1948, the U.S. Public Health Service and Pan American Sanitary Bureau cooperated with Guatemalan government agencies to conduct medical research. The research, funded by the United States government, involved infecting somewhere between 1,000 and 3,000 Guatemalans with syphilis, gonorrhea, or chancroid without informed consent, according to MSN. Those infected included soldiers, orphans, mental patients, and prisoners. The ostensible purpose of the experiments was to test the efficacy of penicillin in treating infection caused by the diseases. Some experts claim that the research did not provide any useful information. Read More... More on Video

Huffington Post: Antonio Davis, 14, Fatally Shot, 13 Others Wounded Overnight In Chicago Posted: 23 Jun 2012 09:28 AM PDT Twenty four hours before the Chicago Police Department launched a day-long gun exchange program, a 14-year-old boy was shot and 13 others were wounded in a series of violent incidents across the city. Antonio Davis, 14, was found dead at the scene of a possible drive-by in Hamilton Park around 8:40 Friday night, NBC Chicago reports. Around 4 a.m. Saturday, two dark vehicles approached a group of at least six people in Lincoln Park, the Chicago Sun-Times reports. One vehicle drove into the crowd, injuring a 25-year-old man and a 21-year-old woman, and shots fired from the other vehicle sent a 26-year-old man to Northwestern Memorial Hospital in serious condition after a bullet struck his shoulder.

Huffington Post: Michael Lawson's Straw Home Offers Roadmap For Ditching The Heating Bill Posted: 23 Jun 2012 09:30 AM PDT When James Orchard Halliwell-Phillipps wrote the fairy tale The Three Little Pigs, he probably didn't think someone would actually try to build a straw house. Then along came California resident Michael Lawson. In an interview with CNNMoney, the professional musician described how he and his wife Lisa decided to build a house out of straw, with motivations including the ability to avoid large utility bills and have a large living space. Lawson's classical group, the Sacramento Baroque Soloists, describes the home as a "passive-solar straw-bale house" on its website. Nearly everything about the house is designed to collect heat and conserve energy. Even the windows are placed facing south so that they can collect winter heat. But the Lawsons aren't the first to build a custom home engineered to conserve heat. The Shangri-La Dome Home in Aguilar, Colorado features an extremely efficient fireplace that can heat the entire house to nearly 70 degrees, regardless of temperature, according to CNBC. Read More...

Huffington Post: Apple eBook Lawsuit Trial Date Set For 2013 Posted: 23 Jun 2012 09:31 AM PDT By Basil Katz NEW YORK (Reuters) - A U.S. judge on Friday set a 2013 trial date for a lawsuit from the U.S. government accusing Apple and book publishers of conspiring to fix the prices of electronic books. Following a hearing in Manhattan federal court, U.S. District Judge Denise Cote said a bench trial in the case will begin June 3, 2013, for Apple and two publishers who are fighting the antitrust charges. The U.S. Justice Department sued Apple in April, saying it colluding with five publishers to boost e-book prices in early 2010, as the Silicon Valley giant was launching its popular iPad tablet. Amazon Inc, which makes the Kindle e-reader, had long sold e-books for as little as $9.99. The government complaint quoted Apple's late co-founder Steve Jobs as wanting to offer publishers a means to boost prices, and "create a real mainstream e-books market at $12.99 and $14.99." Apple argues it has not conspired with anyone or fixed prices for e-books in an effort to thwart Amazon's dominance of that fast-growing market. Apple says that its foray into e-books has actually fueled demand for e-books by forcing Amazon and rivals, including Barnes & Noble Inc, to compete more aggressively, including by upgrading e-reader technology. The publishers Macmillan and Penguin Group, which are respectively units of Verlagsgruppe Georg von Holtzbrinck GmbH and Pearson Plc, are fighting the antitrust case. News Corp's HarperCollins Publishers, CBS Corp's Simon & Schuster and Lagardere SCA's Hachette Book Group settled the case with the U.S. Justice Department. The three publishers are also on track to submit a settlement proposal to the judge by the end of the summer to resolve claims by a group of U.S. states, lawyers for the book companies and the states said on Friday. "I am confident that we'll get all 50 states and six territories and common wealths to sign on" to the settlement, said Gary Becker, a Connecticut assistant Attorney General. The case is In Re: Electronic Books Antitrust Litigation, U.S. District Court, Southern District of New York, No. 11-2293. (Additional reporting by Jessica Dye; Editing by Lisa Shumaker) Read More...
