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." Close Relations Exhibit Greater Agreement On The Attractiveness Of Fac

Children With Serious Complex Illness More Likely Than Before To Die A
Children who die of a chronic illness are more likely to spend their final days at home compared to children who died two decades ago. Overall, a majority of chronically ill children still die in hospitals, with African-American and Hispanic patients continuing to be less likely than white patients to die at home. However, the shift in place of death raises questions about how to best provide care and resources for very sick children. Narrowcasting Your Show

Scientists at Yale University and Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory employ "gene trapping"to identify many genes involved in the regulation of flower development. This is the first large-scale gene trap study on flower development, and provides extensive information on many genes likely to have critical roles in this essential stage of plant reproduction. This research, conducted with grant support from the National Science Foundation, is an excellent example of how modern molecular biology techniques help to increase our understanding of complex biological processes.

With U.S. biodiesel production at an all-time high and a record number of new biodiesel plants under construction, the industry is facing an impending crisis over its major waste byproduct, glycerin.Researchers have now developed a possible solution, a new biotech process to convert glycerin into ethanol, another popular biofuel. Chemical engineers estimate the operational costs of the process to be about 40 percent less that those of producing ethanol from corn.
