[Scary] Pregnant woman says 'maternal instinct' helped her kill attack
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 supposedly delivered to the wrong address. When Smith pulled out a knife and attacked the pregnant woman, Brady fought back, striking Smith on the head with an ash tray and stabbing her three times with her own knife, police said. 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." Test our reactions

Accident Prone? Scientists Link Brain Function To Knee Injuries
A torn anterior cruciate ligament is among an athlete's most-dreaded injuries, often requiring surgery and months of rehab. Curiously, most athletes aren't injured in a tackle or collision, they actually "do themselves in"-- they end up injuring themselves landing off-balance during a jump or run. But why? In the first study of its kind, University of Delaware scientists show that differences in brain function may be to blame, predisposing some of us to "noncontact"knee injuries.
