...truth is that even though the virus is referred to as swine flu, researchers do not yet know for sure that the A/H1N1 virus actually originated in pigs. There's been no evidence yet of pigs getting sick in either Mexico or the U.S. (Despite several countries' bans on pork imports, it's important to remember that the disease cannot be contracted by eating pork.) The original reservoir for flu viruses is actually wild birds, which can spread infection to domestic birds and people - as we saw with the H5N1 avian flu in Asia - and to pigs. Pigs make particularly...
...strength is that he does a number of things very well.” As a student, Mukhopadhyay says he loved studying chemistry but was wary of becoming a pure chemist. Yet, because his father had been a field geologist in India, he did not want to study geology either. “Marrying chemistry to understanding the earth,” he says, provided the perfect fit and allowed him to reconcile his interests.

Protestants were more likely to switch because they married someone from another tradition. And if they eventually left religion altogether, they were most likely of all formerly religious adherents to have tried several different traditions before giving up - 38% of unaffiliated former Protestants had switched traditions twice, and 32% had switched...
...holding the regime back, Parsi says, is a fear of failure. If Tehran snubs Obama's olive branch, it will come under domestic and international pressure amid rising calls for more sanctions. But, Parsi says, the Iranians may worry that if they enter talks that then collapse, either because Obama was setting a trap or because he couldn't hold his part of the bargain, that would lead to greater international consensus for sanctions and even set the stage for something worse...
