National NewsThe parents of a brain-injured baby in Edmonton say they have set their ``tiny miracle free.''
Isaiah May died in his parents arms -- surrounded by his family -- after they dropped a court battle to keep him on life support.
The lawyer for Rebecka and Isaac May read a statement this afternoon, saying the infant was a blessing to them and that his spirit will always be in their hearts.
They also say they will never forget the miracle of his birth and the time they had with him -- and that he is ``now home in the arms of angels.''
The Mays went to court after doctors decided in January that Isaiah should be taken off a ventilator.
A judge had been slated to hear details about an independent medical review of the boy's condition today, but the proceeding did not go ahead.
The baby was born last October with severe brain damage after his umbilical cord got wrapped around his throat, which deprived him of oxygen.

Provincial NewsThe Alberta government is cutting royalty rates for the oil and natural gas industry starting next year in a bid to win back investment in the province.
The maximum royalty rates for conventional oil will be cut from 50% to 40%.
The top rate for natural gas will be 36%, down from 50%.
A transitional five per cent royalty rate for new wells introduced last year will also become a permanent feature.
The government says the net result will be a $363-million reduction in revenue in 2012 and 2013.
