Students attack Prince Charles’ car after tution hike

Furious student protesters attacked a car carrying Prince Charles and his wife, Camilla, vandalized buildings and battled riot police Thursday as a controversial hike in university fees triggered Britain’s worst political violence in years.

Female brain super sensitive to stress

Researchers studied the brains of male and female rats, focusing on two regions known to play a role in learning and stress: the amygdala and the prefrontal cortex. The amygdala, a small almond-shaped structure located deep within the brain, senses stressful situations. The prefrontal cortex, in the front of the brain, is necessary for higher cognitive functions.

A mom with HIV and a ‘miracle’ healthy birth

Fortunata Kasege was just 22 years old when she arrived in this country 13 years ago from Tanzania. A newlywed with a baby on the way. She knew her life was about to change. What she didn’t know was how much. A visit to a prenatal clinic in Houston, Texas, revealed that she was HIV positive.
