UK first in EU to get Merck's new Schmallenberg vaccine
LONDON (Reuters) - British farmers will be the first in Europe to get a vaccine against Schmallenberg virus, a new livestock disease that hit the continent in 2011.
The Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs said on Tuesday that MSD Animal Health, a unit of Merck & Co, had been issued a licence for the new vaccine after an accelerated assessment to make it available this summer.
As a result, farmers will be able to vaccinate sheep and cattle before most of them become pregnant, which is important as exposure to the virus can cause damage to foetuses.
Schmallenberg virus - named after the German town where it was first detected - infected sheep and cows on at least 2,600 farms in eight EU countries in 2011.
It is particularly harmful to the offspring of animals infected during early pregnancy, resulting in stillbirths and malformations such as brain deformities, twisted spines and locked joints.

By Jeff Black, Staff Writer, NBC News
Five people were killed Monday when a church van carrying 11 passengers rolled over on Interstate 70 in southern Illinois, the Fayetteville County sheriff?s office confirmed.
It was unclear why the van, which had Maryland plates and was en route to the East Coast from California, flipped near Vandalia, Ill., about 70 miles northeast of St. Louis.
No bad weather was reported in the area at the time of the crash, according to the sheriff?s office.
Several people were taken to the hospital, some by medical helicopter, The Leader-Union in Vandalia reported on its web site.?
Four of the injured were taken to Fayette County Hospital in Vandalia and were in fair condition, a spokeswoman told The Associated Press. Two were taken to Greenville Regional Hospital in Greenville, Illinois, but their conditions were not immediately available.?
Eastbound I-70 was closed to traffic because of the rollover, NBC station KSDK in St. Louis reported.
According to a preliminary report from the Illinois State Police, the white 2002 Dodge 15-passenger van was eastbound on I-70 when it veered off the roadway and rolled multiple times, ejecting several passengers before coming to a stop.
Investigators were on the scene of the accident trying to determine the cause.

Wedding Songs For A Black Tie Affair
This article originally appeared on Martha Stewart Weddings.
Once you attach "black tie" to your Big Day, it changes things a bit. Suits get fancier. Dresses get dressier. But a formal affair is no reason to spin stuffy music, so we've picked 10 tunes that go along with a black tie evening, from cocktail hour to the last dance.
1. "I Get a Kick Out You" - Frank Sinatra
No matter your feelings on jazz, you've gotta have Frank playing at some point. This upbeat pick is a little less predictable than "The Way You Look Tonight," but let's be honest, you can't go wrong with anything sung by Old Blue Eyes.
2. "Your Easy Lovin' Ain't Pleasin' Nothing" - Mayer Hawthorne
The feel-good horns and lively melody on this throwback make it a no-brainer soundtrack to cake-cutting.
3. "L-O-V-E" - Natalie Cole
Sure, you may have sung this one in grade school as you were learning to spell, but that doesn't mean it won't have toes tapping during cocktail hour.
4. "Suit & Tie (feat Jay-Z)" - Justin Timberlake
Sometimes a song choice just writes itself. JT's latest offering is fun, funky, and infectious on the dance floor.
5. "Not Even The King" - Alicia Keys
This "we're-rich-in-love" ballad makes a sweet first dance song, and its piano backdrop and simple-and-sweet vocals are begging to be played at a sophisticated soiree.
6. "You're All I Need To Get By" - Marvin Gaye and Tammi Terrell
One of the best duets of all time. Period. The verses start out at a simmer and build into a chorus that'll have your guests happily singing along.
7. "Fever" - Beyonce
Peggy Lee made this diddy famous in the '50s, and in this sultry version, Queen Bey coos along to its signature snaps.
8. "They Can't Take That Away From Me" - Louis Armstrong and Ella Fitzgerald
It's impossible to ignore Ella in this category, and on this track, she and Louis Armstrong list off reasons for loving each other. Awww...
9. "It's Only A Paper Moon" - Nat King Cole
This jazz standard is a cocktail hour must that -- warning! -- might prematurely start a dance session before the floor opens officially.
10. "Fancy" - Drake, T.I., Swizz Beatz
Save this hip-hop anthem for later in the evening -- once grandma has turned in for the night -- because, really, who among us, after a few glasses of bubbly at a formal event, can resist a chorus that cheekily asks, "You fancy, huh?"

Yahoo confirms acquisition of Tumblr, but will run it as a 'separate business'
Hot on the heels of yesterday's rumors, Yahoo and Tumblr have jointly announced a "definitive agreement" for the former to acquire the latter for $1.1 billion. The agreement makes it clear that Tumblr will be "independently operated as a separate business" with its own branding and line of development. A frankly worded press release says that this arms-length arrangement will help Yahoo "not to screw it up" and promises that the 300 million monthly visitors to the blogging site will continue to experience Tumblr's "irreverence, wit, and commitment to empower creators." If all this is to be believed, those who have allegedly fled to WordPress, for fear of Tumblr being shut down or re-versioned, may have slightly jumped the gun.

Obama delivers historic Morehouse commencement
President Barack Obama took a break from the trifecta of controversies?IRS, Department of Justice, Benghazi?swirling around the White House on Sunday to deliver the commencement address at Morehouse College, the historically black, all-male institution in Atlanta.
"What I ask of you today is the same thing I ask of every graduating class I address," Obama told 500 graduates and an estimated 10,000 onlookers, most of them in ponchos, on the school's stormy, rain-soaked campus. "Use that power for something larger than yourself."
While the message may have been unremarkable, the occasion was historic: Obama became the first sitting president to address Morehouse, the alma mater of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., whose spirit was evoked throughout the speech.
"Many of you know what it?s like to be an outsider, to be marginalized, to feel the sting of discrimination," Obama said. "That?s an experience that so many other Americans share. Hispanic Americans know that feeling when someone asks where they come from or tells them to go back. Gay and lesbian Americans feel it when a stranger passes judgment on their parenting skills or the love they share. Muslim Americans feel it when they?re stared at with suspicion because of their faith. Any woman who knows the injustice of earning less pay for doing the same work?she sure feels it."
The president said that while it might be tempting for graduates to use their degrees for personal wealth, they should aim for more. "I know some of you came to Morehouse from communities where life was about keeping your head down and looking out for yourself," Obama said. "Maybe you feel like you escaped, and you can take your degree, get a fancy job and never look back. And don?t get me wrong?with the heavy weight of student loans, with doors open to you that your parents and grandparents could scarcely imagine, no one expects you to take a vow of poverty.
"It is not just the African-American community that needs you," Obama said. "The country needs you. The world needs you."
According to the Atlanta Journal Constitution, attendees arrived as early 3:30 a.m. to reserve a spot at the open-air ceremony.
The president said that growing up, he used to chalk up some of his own "bad choices" to being black.
"We know that too many young men in our community continue to make bad choices," Obama said. "Growing up, I made a few myself. And I have to confess, sometimes I wrote off my own failings as just another example of the world trying to keep a black man down. But one of the things you?ve learned over the last four years is that there?s no longer any room for excuses."
First-year Morehouse College president John Wilson introduced President Obama. Prior to taking the Morehouse job, Wilson ran the White House's historically black colleges and universities (HBCU) initiative.
After the ceremony, the president was scheduled to later attend a fundraiser for the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee at the home of Atlanta Falcons owner Arthur Blank.
It was Obama's second graduation speech in as many weeks. Last week, the president delivered the commencement address at Ohio State. His third and final speech of graduation season, at the U.S. Naval Academy in Annapolis, Md., is slated for Friday.
