Oldest Brother from Pop Group Hanson Leaves Hospital

Isaac Hanson, oldest brother of the pop group Hanson, left the hospital on Friday after doctors removed a blood clot that made his right arm painfully swell during a concert. He had surgery on Thursday for venous thoracic outlet syndrome, which interrupted the blood flow from his arm to his heart.

In the next few months, he will have to have a rib removed to help to open his vein and prevent any more clots. In the meantime, he will have to be on blood thinners. His condition isn’t life threatening but there is a chance that it can cause permanent disability if it isn’t treated in good time.

iPod Sets Man’s Pants on Fire

A man in Atlanta says that he had placed his iPod Nano in his pocket and it burst into flames causing his pant to catch fire.

The Apple company says that they would replace the device when he sends it back. This is not the first time this kind of thing has happened with iPods.

Funeral Directors in Philadelphia Steeling and Selling Body Parts

In Philadelphia, three funeral directors sold a total of 244 bodies for $1,000 each to a former oral surgeon who collected the bones, tissue, and skin from the bodies to be used for transplants. The transplants were used worldwide by unknowing medical patients.

A man named Michael Mastromarino, a former oral surgeon who ran the Biomedical Tissue Services of Fort Lee, N.J., ran the operation with help of a team of “cutters” who stole the body parts. The funeral directors named Louis Garzone, Gerald Garzone, and James CcCafferty were arrested and have thousands of counts against them, including running a corrupt organization, forgery, and theft of body parts. Mastromarino plans to surrender and fight the charges he has against him. He says that he was victimized by the funeral directors and that they were in charge of getting consent and all he was suppose to do was take care of the tissue and send samples to the processors.

The families of the bodies thought that their loved ones were cremated, but the bodies were left unrefrigerated for days and sometimes put in alleys next to the funeral home until a cutter arrived. The funeral directors lied and forged death certificates to say that the bodies had died from heart attacks or blunt-force trauma. They also made up fake names for the bodies and forged family consent forms and the authorities have found the true identities of only 48 of the 244 bodies. They also reduced the ages of the bodies and changed their dates of death to make it look as if the parts were newer and fresher.

The parts were used to treat burns, replace broken bones, and provide for other medical needs. One woman is suing because she says that she received hepatitis by getting a transplant from one of the bodies that had HIV, hepatitis C, and cancer.

Woman Loses Thousands of Dollars in Lawsuit for Downloading Music

A woman in Minnesota, named Jammie Thomas, was court ordered to pay $222,000 for downloading and sharing copyrighted music online. The record industry wants to make an example out of her and send the message that downloading and sharing music is not okay or legal.

Thomas is ordered to pay the six record companies that sued her for $9,250 for each of the 24 songs that they are focusing on in this case. They say she shared a total of 1,702 songs. This is the first time that one of the music industry's lawsuits went to trial. Most people settle and pay the companies a few thousand dollars. Thomas thought that she didn't do anything wrong and proceeded with the lawsuit against her. Thomas claimed she didn't own a file sharing account with Kazaa but evidence showed that the Internet address belonged to her.

Jammie Thomas is 30 years old and lives paycheck to paycheck and now she could get a fourth of her paycheck garnished for the rest of her life. Including the attorney fees, she could owe nearly half a million dollars.

Kentucky Sues the Makers of Drug OxyContin

On Thursday, Kentucky officials sued the makers of OxyContin, a prescription painkiller, because of its harmful effects on its residents. The lawsuit wants reimbursement for the costs of drug abuse programs, law enforcement, and prescription drug payments through Medicaid and the Kentucky Pharmaceutical Assistance Program.

The makers of OxyContin are defending themselves by saying that the package has warnings against abusing the drug and the company shouldn’t be responsible for people who abuse the drug.

The lawsuit is also seeking punitive damages and a court-monitored fund that would pay for a program that would notify the users of possible harms of the drug and fund the research on the effects of the drug.

Kentucky officials decided to go through with the lawsuit after the drug maker and three executives pleaded guilty to misleading the public about its risk of addiction. They agreed to pay $634.5 million in fines for saying that the drug is less addictive and has less of a possibility of drug abuse than other pain medications.
