US Housing Prices, And Confidence, Rise
Apr 30th 2013, 22:56

New data shows the U.S. housing market strengthening.  The S&P Case Schiller Home Price Index shows average home prices in 20 of the biggest US cities rose more than nine percent in the last 12 months.

Apr 30th 2013, 23:21

The nearly 3 million children in sub-Saharan Africa who are living with HIV -- the virus that causes AIDS -- can be treated with one of two drugs to suppress the virus.
