Abu Ghraib soldier sues biographer over book deal - Charleston Gazette Posted: 09 Sep 2009 08:34 AM PDT MORGANTOWN, W.Va. -- Former Army reservist Lynndie England, who tells her side of the Abu Ghraib prisoner-abuse scandal in a new book, is suing her biographer over their business dealings. She claims Gary Winkler seized control of what was intended to be a shared copyright. England says Winkler resigned from the West Virginia company set up to handle finances and formed his own Virginia-based publishing company. Winkler has denied wrongdoing and says he welcomes a Sept. 23 hearing in Hampshire County Circuit Court. He says that the book isn't selling well, and that England is mistaken if she thinks he's sitting on a pile of cash he's not sharing. England's lawsuit also claims Winkler refused to provide access to online accounts that she could use to monitor book sales and revenues.

Spire leaves biomedical business - MSN Money Posted: 09 Sep 2009 08:34 AM PDT Jackie Noblett Spire Corp., the solar manufacturing equipment maker, disclosed Wednesday it has exited the biomedical products business through a sale of its hemodialysis catheter business to Bard Access Systems Inc. The $15 million deal between Bedford, Mass.-based Spire (Nasdaq: SPIR) and Bard, a Salt Lake City, Utah, medical device maker, transfers the assets of Spire's catheter product and a license for Spire surface coating patent to be used in the product's production. Spire entered into the biomedical business through its surface coating product development in 2002 and company officials said in a statement the divestiture is important so that the company can focus its attention on the solar business. "We continue to see tremendous opportunity in the solar market and can better capitalize on these opportunities with a more focused approach," said Roger Little, Spire chairman and CEO. "In addition to strengthening our cash position, this transaction will allow us to properly align our priorities and resources in order to capture the substantial growth opportunities in the solar market."
