...handset and cell industries face a particularly vexing problem. The current 3G networks are not powerful enough to allow consumers with advanced handsets to take advantage of all of their features, especially networks strained by huge transfers of data to and from handsets.

The agency is looking to develop a new pandemic alert system that would reflect the potential severity of a new virus - as opposed to the current system, which registers only the transmissibility of a new virus, not how deadly it might be.

I grew up in an Army where those of us in heavy units were told to stay out of built-up areas," said Chiarelli, who commanded...
