...have been "really inconclusive," says Antonia Calafat, a research chemist at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, citing a lack of big quality studies testing the chemical's effects in humans. In order to prove definitively that bisphenol A is not harmful to people, researchers would need to conduct large, lengthy trials, such as those that finally concluded that thimerosal-containing vaccines do not cause autism in children. That would require rounding up a control group of participants with very little exposure to bisphenol A - no small feat. Calafat's recent findings showed that, among roughly 2,500 Americans...
...press conference held in midtown Manhattan, New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg, whose charitable organization, Bloomberg Philanthropies, contributed $2 million to conduct the study, joined top WHO officials to present the findings. Among the litany of sobering statistics: 5.4 million people die each year - one every six seconds - from lung cancer, heart disease or other illness directly linked to tobacco use. Smoking killed 100 million people in the 20th century, and the yearly death toll could pass 8 million as soon as 2030 - 80% of those deaths will be in the developing world, where tobacco use is growing most rapidly...

However, he cautions, "It gives the impression that Pakistani sovereignty has been breached, and that builds resentment." Recent remarks by U.S. Defense Secretary Robert Gates that the United States is "ready, willing and able" to conduct joint combat operations against rising militancy in Pakistan has only inflamed tensions. The prevailing opinion is that for the past six years Pakistan has been fighting America's war on terror, and has gained nothing but a virulent crop of suicide bombers ready to take revenge...
...Musharraf's government has long maintained that U.S. troops would not be allowed to conduct operations on Pakistani soil. Last month the President said in an interview with Singaporean newspaper The Straits Times that U.S. troops would be considered "invaders" if they crossed the border in the pursuit of al-Qaeda militants. However, similar Predator drone attacks in the area seem to indicate a certain level of cooperation between Pakistani and U.S. intelligence. In January of 2006, a botched American air strike in the town of Damadola, meant to take out al-Qaeda number two Ayman al Zawahiri, killed...
