Obama Considers Naming Official to Work on Moving Guantanamo Detainees
May 1st 2013, 23:04

Protein in Breast Milk Fights Antibiotic Resistance
May 1st 2013, 21:34

A protein discovered in human breast milk, which goes by the Shakespearean-sounding acronym, HAMLET, reportedly fights drug-resistant bacteria when added to antibiotics. The researchers say HAMLET could be used to boost the effectiveness of medications against the rising number of drug-resistant and dangerous bacteria. HAMLET is short for Human Alpha-lactalbumin Made Lethal to Tumor cells.  The human milk-protein complex has proved to be an effective weapon against cancer cells by ...

May 1st 2013, 21:39

Shinzo Abe makes no secret of wanting to revise Japan's constitution, which was drafted by the United States after World War II, to formalize the country's right to have a military - but critics say his plans go deeper and could return Japan to its socially conservative, authoritarian past.        Abe, 58, returned to office in December for a second term as prime minister and is enjoying sky-high support on the back of his "Abenomics'' recipe ...

Forensic experts from Washington's Smithsonian Institution say they found the bones of a 14-year-old girl among the remains of horses, cats and dogs at Jamestown, Virginia. They say the girl's remains show sloppy and desperate signs of butchering, including chops to the head in an apparent effort to take out her brain for food. English-speaking ...
