Supreme Court blocks OxyContin class action in Ohio
The Ohio Supreme Court reversed a lower court and blocked a class action against Purdue and Abbott over OxyContin warnings. Howland and four Butler County residents led the suit, which would have covered more than 1,000 Ohio consumers if certified. The decision splits 4-3 with Justices finding the trial judge erred in granting class status and failing to consider a relevant federal precedent.

Global warming linked storms and climate impacts
World Meteorological Organization researchers warn that rising temperatures intensify storms and disrupt farming and ocean levels. Since 1976 the rate of warming has increased sharply, with 2004 projected to be 0.8 degrees above normal and October the warmest on record. 2004 hurricanes caused over 43 billion dollars in damage, especially in Haiti from Tropical Storm Jeanne.
