The feds settled out of court today for calling Steven Hatfill a "person of interest" in the still-unsolved case, but continued to "deny all liability in connection with Dr. Hatfill's claims,” a DOJ spokesman said. Hatfill, who has never been charged, accused officials of trying to smear him.</description><link>http://www.newser.com/story/31140/ex-army-doc-to-get-58m-in-anthrax-case.html?refid=rss_all_default</link><pubDate>Fri, 27 Jun 2008 18:54:48 CDT</pubDate></item><item><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.newser.com/story/29596/mcdonalds-hold-the-tomatoes.html?refid=rss_all_default</guid><title>McDonald's: Hold the Tomatoes</title><description>McDonald’s is pulling sliced tomatoes from its sandwiches following a nationwide outbreak of salmonella linked to the fruit.

The illegal love drug, often sold as Jamaican Stone or Chinese Rock, is harmful whether ingested or applied to the skin. "There is no definitely safe way to use it,” one official said.

Some 20,000 have been confirmed dead, but Chinese officials fear for tens of thousands trapped under rubble, as rescuers contend with landslides, destroyed roads, and collapsed bridges. But even among those above ground, the multitudes of newly homeless people are beginning to strain the resources of relief efforts.</description><link>http://www.newser.com/story/27588/quake-toll-could-top-50k.html?refid=rss_all_default</link><pubDate>Mon, 19 May 2008 21:13:50 CDT</pubDate></item><item><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.newser.com/story/27439/emergency-h20-flows-into-parched-barcelona.html?refid=rss_all_default</guid><title>Emergency H20 Flows Into Parched Barcelona</title><description>Barcelona is having to ship in emergency supplies of drinking water as Spain suffers its worst drought since records began 60 years ago, the  Guardian  reports.
