National news - Aug. 22

WASHINGTON
Cancer link unclear

Federal drug safety regulators said Thursday they are investigating whether the cholesterol-lowering drug Vytorin can increase patients' risk of developing cancer. The Food and Drug Administration, however, said patients should not stop taking Vytorin because the evidence of a cancer link is unclear.
Lab safety review

Military leaders have suspended some activities at biological research laboratories to review safety rules for some of the world's deadliest germs and toxins, including how they are shipped through FedEx and other civilian carriers. Defense officials said the action is part of a larger review ordered when a researcher at an Army lab apparently committed suicide last month after being told he would be charged in the 2001 anthrax attacks that killed five people.
Mike ban proposed

The Federal Communications Commission is proposing a ban on certain types of wireless microphones and has begun an investigation into how the industry markets its products. Consumer groups alleged in a complaint last month that users of the microphones, including Broadway actors, mega-church pastors and karaoke DJs, are unwittingly violating FCC rules that require licenses for the devices.

KNOXVILLE, TENN.
Student kills peer

A student fatally shot a 15-year-old classmate Thursday at a high school, police said, as other teenagers watched in horror. Police identified the victim as Ryan McDonald, a sophomore who lived with his grandmother and had alopecia, a condition that left him bald since he was 3 and the target of endless teasing as a child. Jamar Siler, 15, was charged with one count of first-degree murder and was being held in a juvenile detention facility.

MONTGOMERY, ALA.
Weight penalty plan

Alabama has approved a plan that will make it the first state to penalize overweight state workers who don't work on slimming down. The state, third in national obesity rankings, has given its 37,527 employees a year to start getting fit — or they'll pay $25 a month for insurance that otherwise is free.

MELBOURNE, FLA.
Fay hits third time

Tropical Storm Fay continued its slow, wet march Thursday by curving back from the ocean to hit Florida for a third time. The erratic and stubborn storm has dumped more than 2 feet of rain along parts of Florida's low-lying central Atlantic coast this week. Weary residents are now dealing with quintessentially Floridian fallout: alligators, snakes and other critters driven into flooded streets, backyards and doorsteps.

TYLER, TEXAS
Guilty of sex charges

An auto body shop worker was convicted and swiftly sentenced to life in prison Thursday for grooming children as young as 5 to perform in sex shows at a small-town swingers club. Patrick Kelly showed no emotion after the verdict.
