Waste Management to pay $220 million in class action settle
Waste Management Inc and their accounting firm propose paying $220 million to shareholders to settle 14 lawsuits over misstated earnings. Judge Wayne Anderson tentatively approved the collective settlement. Waste Management previously said earnings were overstated by $1.3 billion over five years. A South Polar skua, seen off Florida's east coast near Boynton Inlet Park, has attracted crowds while resting and feeding over five weeks. Bird watchers report feathers regrown after earlier loss, with locals suggesting hurricane Mitch may have blown the bird off course.

Marine officer transferred after Clinton impeachment article
Maj. Daniel Rabil, 34, a Marine reservist from Chandler Arizona, was moved from the Selected Marine Corps Reserve to the Individual Ready Reserve after publishing an impeachment call and calling President Clinton a lying draft dodger in The Washington Times. Officers say it is a leadership judgment not a formal demotion, while noting the IRR involves no regular drills. Rabil defends his right to criticize civilian leadership and says the move won’t affect his promotion prospects.

Aneurysm Surgery Considered Riskier Than No Treatment
A major study finds that for small brain aneurysms the annual rupture risk in patients without prior rupture is under 0.05 percent, while surgery carries about a 10 percent risk of death or brain damage. The study defines small as three eighths of an inch or less and notes higher overall surgical risks than earlier work. About 5 percent of Americans have or will develop an intracranial aneurysm.
