Already underway, the investments include three construction projects with price tags in the hundreds of millions—the just-completed Center for Government and International Studies, the Laboratory for Integrated Science and Engineering, and the Northwest building—and dramatic growth in the Faculty’s size, an expected increase from 636 full-time faculty positions three years...
...country has known for months that it was vulnerable to the natural spread of the disease. Last May, the Turkish Agriculture Ministry warned provincial officials to ban live-poultry markets. Few did. Then in October, 1,800 turkeys died on a farm near a wild-bird sanctuary in the northwest of the country. The area was swiftly quarantined, infected birds were culled and farms were disinfected efficiently enough to calm fears of a major outbreak.

While virologists say the study did not use blood tests to confirm the presence of h5n1, they think it could mean that some people may carry bird flu without getting sick.

It's too soon to say whether the tip that caused the U.S. to target a benighted village in northwest Pakistan was real or just another false lead. In fact, the identities of those who died in the strike may never be established to the satisfaction of the U.S., given the difficulties of obtaining unbiased witness accounts and the even more formidable obstacles to recovering tissue and other forensic evidence...
