131 people on board at the time of this accident, including six Americans ***. San Andres is very much a holiday island, and many people would've been going there on vacation.


One woman did die, and we also understand that two people at least are undergoing surgery or need surgery for head traumas 1 that they sustained, including a 12-year-old, lightning may have had a role in this, that as the aircraft was coming into land, it may have been hit by a lightning strike. But that is something that crash investigators 2 will be looking at.


Those quotes were accurate, that they reflect Secretary Gates' feelings on the subject, that he does want to retire next year, not in 2012.

Well, it is kind of in between. It works as a progesterone,uh, antagonist 7, that binds 8 the progesterone receptor which is important for a pregnancy 9 to continue and also it interferes 10 with ovulation. So, whether it particularly stops ovulation or stops implantation is, is the issue, but it is not really clear and there is no study that you can prove which way it works, but we do know it works. If you give it to women, up to 5 days after unprotected sex, 70% of them have fewer pregnancies 11, so there you have less unwanted pregnancies, that's a good thing.
