Review of carhartt warehouse from 3 August 2013

How can this warehouse be difficult to find?? It's just off of Mare Street.? One side of Ellingfort Road was completely flattened with bombs, and the county put up prefabs all along that side of Ellingfort Road.? I lived there with my mum, dad and sister from 1944 until 1956.? It was a great area to live in, so close to everything.

Open Source Drug Discovery Prompts a Fundamental Heart Failure Breakthrough

[unable to retrieve full-text content]An anonymous reader writes "Case-Western researchers, led by Saptarsi Haldar MD., have made a fundamental discovery that could prevent heart failure after reviewing the "chemical recipe" for a cancer-treating molecule made open source by Jay Bradner MD. (whose TED Talk articulates the open source approach to drug discovery) This cross-discipline discovery, which was published in the August 2013 issue of CELL, is a fundamental breakthrough in heart failure research, and highlights the value of an open source approach outside of software development."

Feds, states press Apple on e-books

The Justice Department and 33 state attorneys general on Friday said they want to prevent Apple from entering into contracts with sellers of e-books, movies, music and other digital content that are likely to raise prices.

The demand comes out of an antitrust suit against Apple Inc. and five e-book publishers. A federal judge ruled last month that Apple had colluded with the publishers to raise e-book prices.

The Cupertino, Calif., company has denied wrongdoing and has said it will appeal the decision.

On Friday, it called the remedy proposal ?a draconian and punitive intrusion into Apple?s business.? The inclusion of digital media other than books in the proposal doesn?t bear any relation to the findings in the case, Apple said.

The book publishers previously settled the price-fixing charges. They are Hachette, HarperCollins, Simon & Schuster, Holtzbrinck Publishers, doing business as Macmillan, and The Penguin Publishing Co. Ltd., doing business as Penguin Group. The settlements were designed to encourage price competition and discounting, but that hasn?t happened.

Chinese court rules J&J guilty of monopoly

Health care giant Johnson & Johnson has become the latest global company accused of misconduct in China after a court ordered it to pay damages to a distributor in a lawsuit brought under an anti-monopoly law.

The ruling by a Shanghai court expands use of the vaguely worded, 5-year-old anti-monopoly law and raises the possibility of action against other foreign companies. It comes amid Chinese investigations of possible bribery, price-fixing and other misconduct by global suppliers of milk, pharmaceuticals and other products.

Johnson & Johnson was found guilty of ?vertical monopoly? for setting minimum prices its distributors could charge for surgical sutures, according to Thursday?s ruling. The court said that caused the Chinese distributor to lose potential sales and awarded $85,000 for lost profits.

A phone message left for Johnson & Johnson?s spokesman in China was not returned.

Eaton profit rises, but outlook darkens

Diversified manufacturer Eaton Corp. said Friday that its second-quarter net income jumped 29 percent, boosted by contributions from its acquisition of Cooper Industries.

The results fell slightly short of Wall Street predictions and the company lowered the top-end of its previous full-year profit guidance, warning that it now expects its markets to grow less than previously expected.

The Dublin, Ireland-based company earned $494 million, or $1.04 per share, for the April-June period, up from $382 million, or $1.13 per share, in the same quarter of 2012.

Dell delays vote on takeover plan

Dell Inc. delayed Friday?s vote on founder Michael Dell?s plan to take the computer maker private. The postponement came after Michael Dell and Silver Lake Partners added a special dividend of 13 cents per share on top of an already sweetened bid of $24.6 billion, or $13.75 per share. They originally had offered $24.4 billion, or $13.65 per share.

The company is now giving shareholders until Sept. 12 to consider the offer.

The meeting will be at Dell?s headquarters in Round Rock, Texas, near Austin.

Groups in federal court to block horse slaughter

ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. (AP) -- Federal officials failed to consider environmental hazards when they issued permits for the first legal horse slaughters in the U.S. since 2006, attorneys for groups seeking to halt the opening of two slaughterhouses said Friday.

The Department of Agriculture issued the permits in June, and a New Mexico company and an Iowa company plan to open their slaughterhouses on Monday. Animal welfare groups have sought a restraining order.

Bruce Wagman, a lawyer for Colorado-based Front Range Equine Rescue, told a federal judge in Albuquerque on Friday that no environmental impact study has ever been done to examine the effects of horse slaughter. Horses are given more than 100 drugs not approved for other feed animals, he said.

"We just don't know about the dangers that lie ahead," he said.

But lawyers for the federal government said there is no proof that any hazardous material would harm the environment if horse slaughter resumed.

"There is speculation. There is innuendo. But there is no evidence," said Andrew A. Smith, a lawyer with the U.S. Attorney's office.

Congress effectively banned horse slaughter in 2006. But the ban was lifted in 2011, renewing an emotional and divisive national debate over whether horses are livestock or domestic companions, and how best to deal with untold thousands of unwanted, abandoned and often starving horses.

Valley Meat Co. of Roswell, N.M., has been at the forefront of the fight, pushing for more than a year for permission to convert its cattle plant into a horse slaughterhouse. Meat from the slaughterhouses would be exported for human consumption and for use as zoo and other animal food.

After more than a year of delays and a lawsuit by Valley Meat, the Department of Agriculture gave the company the go-ahead in June. USDA officials said they were legally obligated to issue the permits, even though the Obama administration opposes horse slaughter and is seeking to reinstate the congressional ban.

Another permit was approved a few days later for and Responsible Transportation of Sigourney, Iowa.

Pat Rodgers, an attorney for Responsible Transportation, said horse slaughter actually helps the environment by reducing a large population of wild horses destroying American Indian lands and causing public safety problems.

"The truth is...there is no old horse home," he said in court Friday. "There is no Medicare for horses."

Horse rescue and animal welfare groups, ranchers, politicians and Indian tribes about are divided over what is the most humane way to deal with the country's horse overpopulation.

Some Native American tribes, including the Navajo and Yakama nations, are among those pushing to let the two companies open their slaughterhouses. They say the exploding horse populations on their reservations are trampling and overgrazing rangelands, decimating forage resources for cattle and causing widespread environmental damage.

The Navajo Nation, that nation's largest American Indian reservation, estimates there are between 30,000 to 75,000 horses on its land, including many horses that the officials say are dehydrated and starving after years of drought.

On the other side, actor Robert Redford, former New Mexico Gov. Bill Richardson, current New Mexico Gov. Susana Martinez and New Mexico Attorney General Gary King are among those who strongly oppose a return to domestic horse slaughter, citing the horse's iconic role as a companion animal in the West.

(AP) ? Lawyers will regroup for a second day of testimony in a hearing for three former Penn State officials ensnared in the Jerry Sandusky child sex-abuse scandal, a day after a star witness testified that football coach Joe Paterno had been critical of how the university handled it.

Tuesday's hearing in a Harrisburg courtroom is expected to be short, with just two witnesses.

The judge, William Wenner, must decide whether prosecutors showed enough evidence against the ex-school officials to test the charges in a full trial. The charges, including perjury, conspiracy and endangering the welfare of children, stem from allegations that former Penn State president Graham Spanier, retired university vice president Gary Schultz and ex-athletic director Tim Curley failed to tell police about an allegation against Sandusky, a former assistant football coach, and then tried to hide what they knew.

In Monday's hearing, the star witness, Mike McQueary, testified in a courtroom for the third time since Sandusky's November 2011 arrest that top school officials knew that he had seen Sandusky molesting a boy in a locker room shower.

But the former Penn State assistant coach and quarterback also delivered some unexpected testimony ? that the late Hall of Fame coach Paterno had told him over the years that university administrators "screwed up" in how they responded to McQueary's allegation against Sandusky.

Pressed by defense lawyers about his discussions of the subject, McQueary brought up a specific exchange at football practice in the hours before Paterno's firing on Nov. 9, 2011 ? four days after Sandusky's arrest.

He recalled the head coach saying the school would come down hard on McQueary and try to make him a scapegoat. Paterno also advised McQueary not to trust the administration or then-university counsel Cynthia Baldwin, the former assistant testified.

Make sure to get your own lawyer, he said Paterno told him.

Lawyers for Spanier, Schultz and Curley say the men are innocent. Paterno died in January 2012. He was never charged.

The core of McQueary's testimony is that he saw Sandusky and a boy engaged in a sex act in the locker room shower in 2001 and within days reported it to Paterno, Curley and Schultz.

However, Curley and Schultz have said McQueary never reported that the encounter was sexual in nature, while Spanier has said Curley and Schultz never told him about any sort of sex abuse. They said they believed Sandusky and the boy were engaged in nothing more than horseplay.

Sandusky is serving a 30- to 60-year prison sentence after being convicted last year of sexually abusing 10 boys. He maintains his innocence.

Much of the testimony Monday revolved around prosecutors trying to show that Penn State officials should have known to report Sandusky to police in 2001 after police investigated complaints in 1998 that he had been showering with boys in university locker rooms.

Lawyers for the defendants tried to show they never tried to hide evidence, destroyed evidence or asked school employees to lie.

McQueary last year sued the university, claiming defamation and misrepresentation and seeking millions of dollars in damages. His contract with the school wasn't renewed after the 2011 season.

Former associate of Boston crime boss Bulger to return to stand

By Scott Malone

BOSTON (Reuters) - An admitted murderer and former top associate of reputed Boston mob boss James "Whitey" Bulger is due to return to the witness stand on Tuesday to detail Bulger's crimes.

Kevin Weeks, 57, is the second top-ranking member of the once-feared "Winter Hill" gang to take the stand in Bulger's trial on charges he committed or ordered 19 murders in the 1970s and 1980s.

Weeks, who spent just five years in prison after confessing to five murders but agreeing to testify against Bulger, on Monday recounted his role in some of the murders Bulger is accused of committing.

He described Bulger, one of Boston's most notorious gangsters, as an intimidating figure who once aimed a machine gun at a muscle-bound man in a successful extortion bid.

"Those muscles aren't going to do you any good now," Weeks recalled Bulger saying. The threat worked and the gang extorted some $480,000 from the man, Weeks said.

The 83-year-old Bulger, who spent years on the FBI's "Ten Most Wanted" list of fugitives, has pleaded not guilty to all of the charges, though on the first day of the trial his attorneys said Bulger did commit extortion, loansharking and drug dealing.

His attorneys have argued Bulger was never an informant for the FBI in the defense's effort to undermine the 700-page file the bureau amassed on Bulger over more than a decade as he regularly met with John Connolly, a FBI special agent .

Bulger's lawyers have argued that Connolly, who is serving a 40-year prison sentence for racketeering and murder, fabricated much of the contents of the file to provide cover for his frequent meetings with Bulger. The lawyers said Bulger paid Connolly for information but gave none of his own.

Providing information to the FBI was considered a major breach of the underworld code. The revelation that Bulger had cooperated with investigators came out after he fled Boston on a tip from Connolly, and led many of his associates to turn against him.

Bulger spent more than 16 years in hiding before authorities arrested him in Santa Monica, California, in June 2011.

Weeks is the second of three close associates of Bulger who are key prosecution witnesses in the trial, which is now in its fifth week. John "The Executioner" Martorano took the stand last month and Stephen "The Rifleman" Flemmi is also due to testify.

Bulger's life story inspired Martin Scorsese's 2006 Academy Award-winning film "The Departed," with Jack Nicholson playing a character loosely based on Bulger.
