...ANTONIO: An American astronomer drew a hushed, standing room only crowd to an American Astronomical Society conference room Wednesday when he announced the discovery of two new planets orbiting stars outside Earth's solar system. Geoffrey Marcy, a professor of physics and astronomy at San Francisco State University, told the gathering of 1300 scientists that at least one of the new orbs could have water. "That means possible conditions ideal for life," says TIME's Michael Lemonick. "That's a very significant discovery since we now have several examples of large planets orbiting stars like the sun." Lemonick says...
...AIDS; Ebola virus; and hantavirus are all chilling precedents. In a worst-case scenario, such transplants could introduce humanity to a plague that would make all of those look tame. "This is a serious mistake," says Jonathan Allan, a virologist at the Southwest Foundation for Biomedical Research in San Antonio, Texas. "It only takes one transmission from one baboon to a human to start an epidemic. There's no way you can make it safe...

Almost 75% of the $100 billion in U.S. trade with Mexico is delivered by truck, and most of that cargo travels through Texas. The major route is Interstate 35, running north-south through several of the state's major cities--San Antonio, Austin and Dallas-Forth Worth. Specialized trucking firms called drayage companies haul goods in a narrow strip of U.S. territory along the border, where they exchange cargoes for transshipment to border plants or destinations deeper in America. The majority of trucks are Mexican because U.S. companies, afraid of theft and corruption, are reluctant to send their trucks into...
