Study: Pregnant Women Not Gaining Access to Malaria Prevention Jul 23rd 2013, 21:58, by webdesk@voanews.com (Jessica Berman) Malaria infections, primarily in sub-Saharan Africa, are responsible for the deaths of some 200,000 newborns and 10,000 new mothers each year.

In order to work well, the finished product needs to hit a sweet spot that's a smooth mix of both parties, not too much of one or the other. So people didn't quite know what to expect when word came that singer-songwriter Edie Brickell, best known for the '80s hit "What I Am," and actor, author and bluegrass banjoist Steve Martin were going into the studio together.

Voice of America: Country Life Riskier than City Living, US study shows

Voice of America Voice of America is an international news and broadcast organization serving Central and Eastern Europe, the Caucasus, Central Asia, Russia, the Middle East and Balkan countries

Country Life Riskier than City Living, US study shows Jul 23rd 2013, 19:43, by webdesk@voanews.com (Reuters) Contrary to what many believe, living in the city is far less risky than in the country, according to a study released on Tuesday that takes into account all major forms of death from injuries. Although homicides in cities far outpace those in rural areas, overall the risk of dying from some form of accident or injury is 20 percent greater in the most rural counties of the United States than in the nation's biggest cities. The findings may give pause to people tempted to flee cities for ... Media files: FC76DA33-5C6D-40A0-8E6A-942D94C8ADB3_cx0_cy2_cw0_w800_r1.jpg (image/jpeg, 0 MB)
