FDA orders new warning for epilepsy drug

The government has ordered more detailed information to be provided with an epilepsy drug that did not warn about decreased sweating and hyperthermia.

The order for updated information on Topamax is based on clinical trials and the experience of more than 2 million users worldwide, the Food and Drug Administration said.

Most of the reports of problems have involved children. Most cases have occurred in connection with exposure to hot temperatures, vigorous activity or both.

Wrapped cheese slices creator dies at 78

Arnold N. Nawrocki, the man widely credited with bringing individually wrapped slices of cheese into the homes of millions of families in the 1950s, has died at 78.

Nawrocki died June 30 of kidney disease at his home in Sun City, Ariz.

Nawrocki first tried to wrap individual slices of cheese with wax paper before finding a profitable way to do it with cellophane while working at the Clearfield Cheese Co. in Curwensville, Pa., in the 1950s.

Wrapping the cheese — which required a seal that would not allow oxygen in — stretched its shelf life from about a week to more than six months.

Two killed in crash of vintage WWII bomber

A World War II-era German bomber en route to an air show crashed into a building under construction Thursday, killing the pilot and his passenger, police said.

Witnesses said they heard a sputtering sound shortly before the twin-engine HE-111 plowed through a chain link fence and slammed into the brick structure, igniting a fire that lasted an hour, police Lt. Robert Korber said.

A construction worker who was inside the building fled and escaped injury, said Tom Rooney of the Laramie County school district.

The bomber was the last of its kind known to be flying in the world.

Talk show host Springer to file for U.S. Senate

Jerry Springer, the talk show host who put wife-swappers, strippers and skinheads on the air and then watched the punches fly, will file papers to run for the U.S. Senate as early as Friday, advisers said.

Springer, 59, the former Cincinnati mayor, will not actually decide whether to run until later this month, said Mike Ford, his political adviser.

The early filing is necessary to avoid getting into legal trouble for raising money without officially declaring a candidacy.
