Body of Beau Biden to lie in honor at Delaware Capitol
The body of Beau Biden will lie in honor Thursday at Legislative Hall in Dover, Del., the state he served. Biden, the eldest son of Vice President Biden and Delaware's attorney general for eight years, died of brain cancer Saturday at the age of 46. While in office, Biden was a strong advocate for children and dramatically stepped up prosecution of sex crimes. He left office in January pledging to run for governor, but his cancer, originally treated in 2013, returned this spring. On Saturday, President Obama will deliver a eulogy at a funeral Mass in Wilmington, the last of several public memorials for Biden.

Key hearing on 'Viagra for Women'
The FDA has twice said no to flibanserin, Sprout Pharmaceutical's widely touted "Viagra for Women." But the third time could be the charm. The drug faces a pivotal hearing Thursday in front of an FDA advisory committee. A panel of FDA experts will discuss the drug at a public meeting, before voting on whether to recommend its approval. Flibanserin corrects bio-chemical imbalances in the brain, restoring sexual desire in premenopausal women. While it has proved effective in trials, the little pink pill previously failed to prove to the FDA that its benefits outweighed its risks — namely, sleepiness, dizziness and nausea. The agency is expected to make a decision on whether to approve the drug in August.
