WASHINGTON - Chief Justice John Roberts was taken to a hospital Monday after he fell on a dock near his summer home in Maine.

Supreme Court spokeswoman Kathy Arberg said she did not know how he fell or what injuries he might have suffered. She said he was taken to the hospital as a precaution.

WASHINGTON - The widely used diabetes drug Avandia should remain on the market, government health advisers recommended Monday, saying evidence of an increased risk of heart attack doesn’t merit removal.

The nonbinding recommendation to the Food and Drug Administration came on a majority vote by the panel. The tally wasn’t immediately available.

“We’re being asked today to take a very draconian action based on studies that have very significant weaknesses and are inadequate for us to make that kind of decision,” said Rebecca Killion, a Bowie, Md., diabetic and the panel’s patient representative.

Saw this on a different site. Funny thing, the medical report called the seizure "idiopathic," but when the White House press briefing got to it, they used the word "idiosyncratic" instead. Can't blame them I suppose...
