NEW YORK - Herbalife argues in a May 14 brief before the ephedra multidistrict litigation court that a plaintiff's case-specific expert's testimony should be excluded because the expert relied on inaccurate facts, did not properly consider the plaintiff's risk factors and included general causation opinion in his testimony (Harbir Singh v. Herbalife International of America, Inc., No. 06 CV 00014; In Re: Ephedra Products Liability Litigation, 04 MD 1598, S.D. N.Y.). Full story on lexis.com

Astros Clip the Red Birds' Wings, With a Broom
The first four series against the Cardinals saw the Astros take the first game of the series with late inning heroics (at least two I recall off hand, at least). Lance Berkman's first career walk-off HR seemed to be setting us up for the same fate. Today's victory marked the series sweep, but it didn't come without its price. Wandy went down ...

Scientists Identify Genetic Link That May Neutralize HIV
A genetic target may provide a significant new opportunity for vaccine or therapeutic development. Scientists have uncovered new evidence that strengthens the link between a host-cell gene called Apobec3 and the production of neutralizing antibodies to retroviruses. The finding adds a new dimension to the set of possible explanations for why most people who are infected with HIV do not make neutralizing antibodies that effectively fight the virus.

UK Releases Details, But Delays, Plan To Surveil Every Bit Of Communication
We recently noted that some articles were appearing in the UK about a plan by the government to track all phone calls, emails and internet surfing histories in that country in a giant database. The whole thing sounded so extreme we even doubted it was true. However, it appears to be based in fact, as the government is outlining the details of the plan, while at the same time agreeing to delay introducing it for at least year, in order to hear from the public (or, perhaps, to hope that public dislike of this proposal dies down enough that it can be introduced quietly). The backers of the plan stress that all they want is the data about the communications, rather than the communications themselves. So, that would mean they're interested in who called whom, not what was said, and who emailed whom, not what was written. That may be small comfort to some, but it still seems like a huge privacy violation, and the database is almost certainly to be abused and misused by those who have access to it.
