The U.S. Food and Drug Administration announced it has
determined the generic antidepressant Budeprion XL is both
safe and effective.
The agency said it had received reports of loss of
antidepressant effect, and new or worsening side effects,
in some patients who switched from the brand name drug
Wellbutrin XL to the generic pharmaceutical.
The FDA said it evaluated the reports concerning the generic
version of bupropion hydrochloride extended-release
300-milligram tablets and found the generic product to be
"a safe and effective choice for consumers in treating
depression, as it has been shown to meet all requirements
for approval, including bioequivalence to the branded drug,
Wellbutrin XL 300-milligram."
Wellbutrin XL is owned by GlaxoSmithKline of Philadelphia,
and manufactured by Biovail of Mississauga, Ontario.
Budeprion XL is manufactured by Impax Laboratories of
Hayward, Calif., and distributed by Teva Pharmaceuticals
of North Wales, Pa.
The complete FDA review is available at

Does the FDA do a good job researching pharmaceuticals?

Homemade boat trapped in backyard
A British man who spent five years constructing a 30-foot
yacht in his backyard said he now faces a more perplexing
challenge: getting it out of his garden. John Melling, an
engineer, said he always knew removing the 26-foot-wide
Trimaran yacht from the back garden of his Tywardreath,
Cornwall, home would be difficult, but he had initially
counted on employing the Royal Air Force to airlift the
vessel -- a service they no longer provide, The Daily Mail
reported Wednesday. "RAF St. Mawgan (air force base) used
to airlift boats for people in similar situations as me and
used it as a training opportunity," he said. "But apparently
they don't do that anymore -- so I am going to have to
take the fence down to get the boat out now." "We will be
taking this boat to Greece eventually, after I have retired,
to spend some time in the sunshine," Melling said. "I may
even race it --- but right now the challenge is getting
it out of the garden."

Boston terrier saves baby from drowning
A heroic Boston terrier named Tyson is being credited for
helping rescue a baby from drowning in a Florida family's
pool, the baby's mother said. Dog owners Whitney and Brook
Michael Lovatt were inside their Stuart, Fla., home with
Whitney's sister, Amy Kelaidis, when they heard Tyson
barking outside near the pool, the South Florida
Sun-Sentinel reported Wednesday. After following Tyson's
persistent barking, Brook reportedly found Kelaidis'
10-month-old son, Lios, floating face down in the pool
with blue lips and closed eyes. Lovatt, a licensed boat
captain, performed rescue breathing on the child. He was
breathing independently when paramedics arrived and was
released from Martin Memorial North Medical Center Tuesday.
"I think there's a sequence of events you just can't
explain. It definitely is God's work for sure. They were
calling him 'The Miracle Baby' at the hospital," Kelaidis
said.

Cops, contractors save wedged cat
A New York woman said her chubby tabby cat had to be rescued
by police and construction workers after he fell from a
tin roof into a heating shaft. Kenya Stanislas, 23, said
her 15-pound feline, Ariel, became lodged 20 feet into a
4-by-8-inch heating vent, leading her to call 911 for
assistance, the New York Post reported Wednesday. Emergency
Service Unit Detectives Tony Borowiec and Dennis Canale
employed contractors to cut a hole in the brick wall and
Borowiec then dug through wood and metal to free the
4-year-old tabby. "It's a good feeling," Borowiec said of
the successful rescue. However "I'm allergic to cats, so
I'm not feeling that good right now," he said.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Reader Comments ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
What are your thoughts on the FBI violating intelligence
laws?
"I think the FBI should do anything it can to protect the
citizens of the United States. If that means going through
emails or listening to phone conversations....I'd say go for
it. I am less worried about privacy than I am terrorists.
I have nothing to hide and I think if others don't
either...they should not have a problem with it."
"If the FBI is trying to protect us they should be able
to do so as they see fit."
"How can they overstep security? I feel they need to do
whatever is needed to protect the US."
