CBC News China became the world's third-largest food aid donor in 2005, the same year it stopped receiving assistance from the World Food Program, while the United States and the European Union remained the top two contributors, the U.N. agency said Thursday.
Donations from China almost tripled to 577,000 tonnes and accounted for more than half of the rise in overall food aid donations last year, the World Food Program said in its annual report. |

Associated Press WASHINGTON - The manufacturers of Prozac and other antidepressants should include prescribing information about an uncommon but life-threatening lung problem that affects babies born to mothers who take the drugs during pregnancy, health officials said Wednesday.
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration said it had asked the companies to add information about the possible risk of the lung disorder, called persistent pulmonary hypertension. Meanwhile, the agency said it is seeking more information about the risk. Babies with the disorder have high pressure in the blood vessels of their lungs and are not able to get enough oxygen into their bloodstream, the FDA said. |

Wednesday, July 19, 2006 CONCORD, New Hampshire (AP) -- In 1872, so the story goes, workers digging a hole for a fence post near Lake Winnipesaukee in the central part of this New England state found a lump of clay that seemed out of place.
There was something inside -- a dark, odd-looking, egg-shaped stone with a variety of carvings, including a face, teepee, ear of corn and starlike circles. And there were many questions: Who made the stone and why? How old was it? How was it carved? To date, no one has been able to say for sure, and the item has come to be known as the "Mystery Stone." Seneca Ladd, a local businessman who hired the workers, was credited with the discovery. |
