Back in the day, you could shove all sorts of goods containing that miracle chemical radium in your body. There were radium-infused beers, chocolate, and suppositories. But radium-mania didn't stop with quack remedies.
An advertisement in the May 17, 1918 edition of the New York Observer touted the benefits of radium-infused golf balls. Was this just hogwash by hucksters looking to ride the radium wave?
According to the radium-good archivers at Oak Ridge Associated Universities, "An analysis by gamma spectroscopy clearly shows that it does indeed contain radium: approximately 150 Bq (4 nCi)."
It's not entirely clear if the radium was enough to harm old-timey golfers looking to improve their range, but hey, at least no one was shoving them up their rectums. Presumably, at least.
HONG KONG (Reuters) ? A court in southern China has rejected a lawsuit by Apple Inc, accusing a Chinese technology company of infringing its iPad trademark, a newspaper reported on Tuesday, the latest move in a protracted tug-of-war over the name.
Apple confirmed the lawsuit but declined to comment further.
The consumer device giant -- a market leader in both smartphones and tablets -- has had to face some roadblocks in China, which is a key growth region for the company. Earlier this year, fake Apple stores were discovered in southwestern Yunnan province.
The company is also constantly battling counterfeiters.
In the lawsuit over the use of the iPad name, the Intermediate People's Court in the southern boomtown of Shenzhen rejected Apple's complaint against Proview Technology (Shenzhen). Proview, it said, lawfully registered the iPad trademark as long ago as 2000 for products in a number of countries including China, the Southern Metropolis Daily newspaper reported, citing court documents.
Apple, which launched its iPad tablet computer some years after that, was initially panned by many on Twitter and other online forums for picking a name that was synonymous with a woman's hygiene product.
But the jokes died after the roaring success of the product that no other company has been able to beat in sales.
The right to use the iPad name in China is crucial for Apple, where the company is in the process of opening more stores. Executives have said they have just scratched the surface in China in terms of sales.
Proview Technology (Shenzhen), and the Shenzhen court were not immediately available for comment when contacted by Reuters.
Proview was also taking legal action, seeking 10 billion yuan ($1.5 billion) in compensation from Apple for copyright infringement, Caixin Online reported in October.

PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) ? Tobacco company Philip Morris USA Inc. must pay Oregon 60 percent of a $79.5 million award in a long-running lawsuit filed by the family of a Portland smoker, the state Supreme Court ruled Friday.
The cigarette maker's parent company, Altria Group Inc., said it will lower its full-year earnings expectations based on the costs tied to the payments for this and a separate case by a former smoker.
Under Oregon law, 60 percent of punitive damage awards must go to a state fund to compensate crime victims. Philip Morris paid the family its share of the judgment but contested the requirement to pay the state.
The company argued that the state released its right to collect that money with the company's master settlement agreement in 1998 with 46 states, five U.S. territories and the District of Columbia over claims about smoking.
The Supreme Court's ruling Friday reversed a lower court decision and said the state's share of punitive damages is due no matter what sort of lawsuit led to the award.
The money at stake is from a 1999 jury award in a lawsuit filed by the family of Jesse Williams, a janitor who had died two years earlier of lung cancer.
After years of appeals, Philip Morris paid the family in 2009, according to the Supreme Court's decision. The payment, it said, was more than $61 million, which includes economic damages, the 40 percent share of punitive damages, interest and costs.
A state official said there was no ready estimate of how much the state's 60 percent share is worth today, including interest and costs, and there was little anticipation it will be collected soon.
"We don't actually expect this to be the end of the litigation," said Tony Green, spokesman for Attorney General John Kroger.
A message seeking comment was left for Altria. In a statement, the Richmond, Va.-based company said it expects to record a pre-tax charge of $62 million related to judgments in the two cases and $57 million in related interest costs. As a result, Altria expects to earn $1.58 to $1.64 per share for the 2011 fiscal year. It earlier expected to earn $1.60 to $1.66 per share.
Excluding several other one-time items, the company expects to earn $2.01 to $2.07 per share for the year. Analysts polled by FactSet expect Altria to report adjusted earnings of $2.03 per share for the fiscal year.
The company's shares fell 6 cents in after-hours trading. They closed Friday at $28.41, down 27 cents.

Kellan Lutz is challenging a prevailing theory among Twihards around the globe: does the muscle-bound hunk look good in anything?
The Breaking Dawn star took to Twitter yesterday and asked: "Movember equals Mohawk month, right?" He then proceeded to post a photo of his new hairstyle, one with just a little bit taken off both sides:
"Out with the old and in with the new!" the 26-year-old star added. "Goodbye dark hair. It's been fun."
But was this a wise decision for the actor? Sound off now: What do you think of Kellan Lutz with a mohawk?
Strange new 'species' of ultra-red galaxy discoveredPublic release date: 1-Dec-2011 [ | E-mail | Share ]
Contact: Christine Pulliam cpulliam@cfa.harvard.edu 617-495-7463 Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics
In the distant reaches of the universe, almost 13 billion light-years from Earth, a strange species of galaxy lay hidden. Cloaked in dust and dimmed by the intervening distance, even the Hubble Space Telescope couldn't spy it. It took the revealing power of NASA's Spitzer Space Telescope to uncover not one, but four remarkably red galaxies. And while astronomers can describe the members of this new "species," they can't explain what makes them so ruddy.
"We've had to go to extremes to get the models to match our observations," said Jiasheng Huang of the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics (CfA). Huang is lead author on the paper announcing the find, which was published online by the Astrophysical Journal.
Spitzer succeeded where Hubble failed because Spitzer is sensitive to infrared light - light so red that it lies beyond the visible part of the spectrum. The newfound galaxies are more than 60 times brighter in the infrared than they are at the reddest colors Hubble can detect.
Galaxies can be very red for several reasons. They might be very dusty. They might contain many old, red stars. Or they might be very distant, in which case the expansion of the universe stretches their light to longer wavelengths and hence redder colors (a process known as redshifting). All three reasons seem to apply to the newfound galaxies.
All four galaxies are grouped near each other and appear to be physically associated, rather than being a chance line-up. Due to their great distance, we see them as they were only a billion years after the Big Bang - an era when the first galaxies formed.
"Hubble has shown us some of the first protogalaxies that formed, but nothing that looks like this. In a sense, these galaxies might be a 'missing link' in galactic evolution" said co-author Giovanni Fazio of the CfA.
Next, researchers hope to measure an accurate redshift for the galaxies, which will require more powerful instruments like the Large Millimeter Telescope or Atacama Large Millimeter Array. They also plan to search for more examples of this new "species" of extremely red galaxies.
"There's evidence for others in other regions of the sky. We'll analyze more Spitzer and Hubble observations to track them down," said Fazio.
