Federal regulators for the first time have approved Botox injections to treat crow’s feet.
The Food and Drug Administration said Wednesday that Allergan’s Botox Cosmetic injection is the first drug approved to treat the wrinkles that form on the outside edge of the eyes.
Allergan Inc. studied use of the drug in 833 adults with crow’s feet who randomly received Botox or a sham injection. Patients who received Botox had fewer visible wrinkles than those who received the placebo drug.
The most common side effects seen in patients were swelling and excess liquid around the eyelids.
(AP) — A southwest Missouri man has received a 20-year federal prison sentence for holding a young woman captive as a sex slave for six years.
Forty-six-year-old Edward Bagley was sentenced Wednesday after a federal court judge in Kansas City accepted a plea agreement. He pleaded guilty in January to one count of using an interstate facility to entice a minor into illegal sexual contact.
Bagley, of Lebanon, Mo., originally faced 11 federal charges. He was accused of enticing an underage girl to be his sex slave, torturing and mutilating her, and allowing others to view the torture sessions.
Bagley and his wife, Marilyn, said the woman voluntarily engaged in bondage and sadomasochism after she turned 18.
Marilyn Bagley and four other men are also scheduled to be sentenced this week.

ANNVILLE, Pa. (AP) — Police have opened a criminal investigation after a high school football player ripped the helmet off an opposing player and beat him over the head with it during a game in central Pennsylvania.
Video aired by WGAL-TV shows Hamburg quarterback Joey Cominsky tearing the helmet off Annville-Cleona lineman Josh Hartman, then hitting him with it at least twice, after a play in the third quarter of Friday night’s game at Annville-Cleona Secondary School near Lebanon.
Several other players pushed and shoved each other, and Annville-Cleona player Taylor Prentice jumped in and threw several punches, the video shows.
Cominsky and Prentice were ejected from the game. Hartman suffered a cut on top of his head but was otherwise OK. Order was restored and Hamburg won the game 25-22.
The police investigation “will be a very lengthy process, I can tell you that,” South Annville Township police chief Ben Sutcliffe told PennLive.com. “It is premature at this point to say anything about charges being filed or not being filed.”
Sutcliffe did not immediately return a message left Wednesday.
Hamburg Principal Christopher J. Spohn declined to say whether any disciplinary action will be taken against Cominsky.
“We followed our board-approved policies and procedures dealing with this situation,” Spohn told the Reading Eagle.
Under PIAA rules, Cominsky and Prentice will miss the next game.
PIAA District 3 officials said in a statement that they are content for now to allow the schools to handle the matter internally.
DENVER (AP) — The managers of the Pepsi Center in Denver are installing permanent metal detectors to boost security at major sports and entertainment events.
Kroenke Sports & Entertainment says all patrons entering the multipurpose arena will be required to undergo a security check beginning later this month.

Company president Jim Martin says the permanent magnetometers will improve safety and increase efficiency.
During the 2012-13 pro basketball season, the league required all patrons to go through bag checks and get checked with hand-held metal detectors.
GRAND JUNCTION, Colo. (AP) — Authorities say one of four South Carolina men who used poison arrows to hunt deer, elk and bears told them he has been using the illegal equipment in Colorado for at least 20 years.
George Plummer and Joseph Nevling, both of Timmonsville, S.C., Michael Courtney, of Florence, S.C., and James Cole, of Sumter, S.C., all pleaded guilty Tuesday to a variety of wildlife charges, including illegal taking of wildlife and illegal use of toxins in hunting. They were arrested Saturday.
According to the Grand Junction Daily Sentinel (https://tinyurl.com/oxgtfqa ), authorities said Plummer admitted using toxic arrows for years.
All four were ordered to pay several thousands of dollars in fines and court costs. The men also agreed not to hunt in Colorado over the next four years.
(AP) — Nebraska Lottery officials have hit the road to honor its top 20 outlets for the past 20 years.
The 20 have sold more than $100 million worth of scratch cards and lottery tickets since the first Nebraska scratch card was sold on Sept. 11, 1993.
The list includes stores from across the state.
Lottery spokesman Neil Watson says some of the stores enjoy a loyal player base. Other stores are top sellers because of their locations or because of the customer traffic for their primary products.

Jail records say Shiplett remained in custody on Wednesday morning. Online court records don’t list the name of his attorney.
(AP) — NASA is using former military surveillance drones to help study how tropical storms intensify.
The unmanned Global Hawk aircraft are taking off from NASA’s Wallops Flight Facility on the Eastern Shore of Virginia, where they’re studying storms that form over the Atlantic Ocean. NASA officials say while forecasting models predicting a storm’s path have improved greatly over the past few decades, there hasn’t been much progress producing models that predict a hurricane’s strength.
Two Global Hawks have been equipped with instruments to study the overall environment of tropical storms as well as their structure. Scientists are primarily interested in learning the impact of the dusty Saharan Air Layer and thunderstorms found within a tropical storm.
The drones are used because they can fly longer than traditional research aircraft.
