FORT MITCHELL, Ky. - A pregnant woman who killed her attacker said a maternal instinct helped her fight off the woman who investigators believe was after her unborn child."I do believe that I fought harder because it was for my child,"Sarah Brady told ABC's "Good Morning America"in interviews aired Sunday and Monday. "It is a maternal instinct to protect your child to the very end."Katherine Smith, 22, died Thursday after luring Brady to her apartment to pick up a package supposedlydelivered to the wrong address.

Brady, 26, said she didn't know Smith before the two met at Smith's apartment and can't be certain why Smith wanted to kill her."I really am not sure what was going through her mind,"Brady told ABC. "The only thing I thought was that she was going to kill me and my child and that is the only thing that ran through my mind." Floating Effective For Stress And Pain, Research Suggests

A switch from predominantly undersea volcanoes to a mix of undersea and terrestrial ones shifted the Earth's atmosphere from devoid of oxygen to one with free oxygen, according to geologists. Before 2.5 billion years ago, the Earth's atmosphere lacked oxygen. However, biomarkers in rocks 200 million years older than that period, show oxygen-producing cyanobacteria released oxygen at the same levels as today. The oxygen produced then, had to be going somewhere. The More Mutations, The Worse The Disease In Idiopathic Hypogonadotrop
Idiopathic hypogonadotropic hypogonadism (IHH) is an inherited genetic disorder that results in impaired sexual development due to a deficiency in a sex hormone known as GnRH. Although individuals are thought to inherit IHH by having just one gene defect (in any one of a number of genes), not all the evidence supports this hypothesis, for example, not all family members with a given gene defect have the same symptoms.
