FDA OKs Sale of 'Morning-After' Pill Without Age Limit - Health News ...
THURSDAY, June 20 (HealthDay News) ? The so-called morning-after pill, an emergency contraceptive, is about to go over-the-counter, with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration announcing Thursday that it has approved unrestricted sales of Plan B One-Step.
The move follows a decision earlier this month by the Obama administration to drop its effort to fight a court order that would make the contraceptive pill available over-the-counter to all women and girls, regardless of age.
After fighting for an age threshold on the nonprescription use of the Plan B One-Step pill for months, the FDA said June 10 that it would heed the ruling of Judge Edward Korman, of the United States District Court for the Eastern District of New York. The drug prevents conception if taken within 72 hours of sexual intercourse.
Korman first issued his order April 5, igniting a battle over whether young girls could gain access to emergency contraception without a prescription. Soon after, on April 30, the FDA lowered to 15 the age at which people could purchase the Plan B One-Step pill over-the-counter ? two years younger than the prior age limit of 17.
A day later, on May 1, the Obama administration stepped in to appeal the Korman decision.
At the time of the FDA?s move to lower the age limit, agency Commissioner Dr. Margaret Hamburg said that ?research has shown that access to emergency contraceptive products has the potential to further decrease the rate of unintended pregnancies in the United States.
?The data reviewed by the agency demonstrated that women 15 years of age and older were able to understand how Plan B One-Step works, how to use it properly and that it does not prevent the transmission of a sexually transmitted disease,? she said.
Plan B prevents implantation of a fertilized egg in a woman?s uterus through the use of levonorgestrel, a synthetic form of the hormone progesterone used for decades in birth control pills. Plan B contains 1.5 milligrams of levonorgestrel, more than the pill contains. It is considered a form of birth control, not abortion.
The Associated Press reported that the FDA?s announcement Thursday only applied to Plan B One-Step. Other brands of emergency contraception include Next Choice and Ella.
Planned Parenthood has long pushed for wider access to emergency contraception. But conservative groups have objected to such a move.

Cambodian lost city not so lost after all
Cambodian lost city:?Researchers clarified that the Mahendraparvata was not lost, but that it was found to be unexpectedly large.
In this photo taken in June 2012, Cambodia's famed Angkor Wat temples complex stands in Siem Reap province, some 230 kilometers (143 miles) northwest Phnom Penh, Cambodia. Airborne laser technology has uncovered a network of roadways and canals, illustrating a bustling ancient city linking Cambodia's Angkor Wat temples complex.

EnlargeResearchers have clarified that Cambodia?s ?lost city,? found in the swelter of the country?s northwestern jungles, was not so lost at all.?It is, however, bigger than once thought, prompting scientists to revise their previous beliefs about the?character ? and the eventual collapse ??of the Khmer Empire.

Researchers from the University of Sydney's archaeological research center in Cambodia said that they had known about Mahendraparvata ? an ancient city from the Khmer Empire some 1,200 years old ? for decades, but that before the use of Lidar technology, which allowed them to probe the vast undergrowth with lasers that revealed the buried city?s shape, they had not understood just how extensive the abandoned one-time seat of the Khmer kingdom was. The city had previously been misreported as ?discovered" in a "world exclusive" from The Sydney Morning Herald.
?It is an exaggeration to say a lost city has been found because if you?re working in Cambodia you know it?s been there since the 1900s,"?Jean-Baptiste Chevance, director of the Archaeology and Development Foundation and the project?s lead archaeologist, told The Cambodia Daily. "The main discovery is a whole network of roads and dykes that were linking monuments that were already known."
The city's unexpected size suggests that the Khmer?Empire, which ruled Southeast Asia from?about 800 A.D. to 1400 A.D.,?was more urban than previously imagined: Mahendraparvata was a planned, well-laid-out city that was formerly linked with a system of roads and canals to the Angkor Wat temples, built some 350 years later also in Siem Reap province. Scientists had previously thought that the kingdom was more a loosely organized collection of population centers. The findings are due to be published in the?Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.
"We identify?an entire, previously undocumented, formally planned urban landscape into which the major temples such as Angkor Wat were integrated," the researchers wrote in a statement?published by NBC.
The researchers also offered additional comment on why it was that the Khmer Empire, once decadent in its stone temples ascending toward the clouds, collapsed into ruin, not to be reincorporated into the country?s story again until the French reintroduced the memory to Cambodian national identity. Now, researchers have suggested that periods of megadrought, combined with practices that caused environmental degradation, were to blame for the fall of the empire ? a recipe?thought to have led to the decline of massive, ancient civilizations elsewhere in the world.
?The lidar data reveal anthropogenic changes to the landscape on a vast scale, and lend further weight to an emerging consensus that infrastructural complexity, unsustainable modes of subsistence and climate variation were crucial factors in the decline of the classical Khmer civilization,??the researchers wrote.?
Once abandoned to time, the royal city was worked to rubble as a millennium of industrious vegetation and monsoon rains did their worst on its stone temples. The mountain, Phnom Kulen,?which once observed Cambodia at a cultural peak, would go on to witness one of the country's worst moments, becoming a Khmer Rouge stronghold in the 1970s, when the government murdered about a fifth of its population.
Throughout all that, the mountain has remained a spiritual place, host to tens of thousands of pilgrims each year.

Kobe Bryant Statue Emerges in China
The English-speaking press is befuddled as to why there is now a bronze statue of LA Lakers legend Kobe Bryant in a sculpture park in Guangzhou, but all you really need to know is that it?s there. On Twitter cross-border sports fan Eddie Robles has shared a photo with anyone who?s interested in checking the statue for accuracy. The only question that remains is: ?Why??
Image via Eddie Robles, via @eds824.
Part of the reasoning, Dan Devine opines on Yahoo News, is pretty transparent. American basketball players are already quite revered in the Middle Kingdom: Stephon Marbury has more than a few?honors?to his name, as does fellow Laker alum Shaquille O?Neal.?Bryant has also traveled to China regularly, either to appear at sports camps, play in exhibition games, or host the odd charity benefit. There?s a chance that the statue?s appearance may even be the product of some savvy PR, though it?s obvious that high-grade sports fandom in China played a role as well.
