Nation's oldest cigar maker Marsh Wheeling Stogies to close
After 161 years Marsh Wheeling Stogies will stop producing in West Virginia and shift to a Frankfort Indiana plant. Declining sales and rising taxes drive the closure, costing about forty local jobs and ending a Wheeling tradition once famed by patrons like Daniel Webster and Annie Oakley.

FDA seeks contempt ruling against American Red Cross
The FDA asks U S District Judge John Garrett Penn to hold the Red Cross in contempt for persistent violations of blood safety rules since 1993. The motion seeks fines up to 10,000 dollars daily per violation and cites failures to quarantine tainted blood and properly screen donors. The agency notes progress but says repeated violations persist, while the Red Cross pledges improvements and mediation continues.
