...Skeptics note that Pakistan has a habit of announcing dramatic antiterrorism moves to coincide with high-level meetings with U.S. officials. At the time of the raid, President Pervez Musharraf had recently returned from U.N. headquarters in New York City, Prime Minister Mir Zafarullah Khan Jamali was meeting with President Bush in Washington, and Deputy Secretary of State Richard Armitage, who had earlier questioned whether Musharraf had the support of the entire Pakistani military, was preparing a trip to Islamabad...

...proposal to bring a high-level biodefense research facility to Boston received federal approval on Tuesday, creating a new opportunity for researchers at Harvard and other local research institutions to perform tests on pathogens such as Ebola and Anthrax in their most dangerous forms...
...swings between El Nino and La Nina that occur in the tropical Pacific. Best known for their impact on sea-surface temperatures--El Nino produces a pronounced warming along the equator, La Nina a distinct cooling--these swings also affect atmospheric patterns worldwide. El Nino, for example, promotes high-level westerlies that tear off the tops of Atlantic Ocean storms, while La Nina and La Nada--the name some have given to the neutral phase of the cycle that currently reigns--do the opposite...
...energy source for hurricanes, and so any temperature rise represents an increase in available fuel. Even more important, however, may be the impact that higher sea-surface temperatures have on wind patterns. That's because there are two ways to change wind shear. One is by reducing or amplifying high-level winds, which is what the El Nino cycle does. The other is by tinkering with the winds that take a low-level course. And the rise and fall of Atlantic sea-surface temperatures appear to correlate with both...
