...would offer some understanding of how this particular strain would be related to those previously gathered. Yi suggested they send their sequences to his lab in Hong Kong, where his technicians and assistants were standing by to use their computer modeling programs to analyze the amino-acid sequences to reconstruct the evolutionary origins of this year's virus. That way, they would be able to compare the two and determine more precisely the real risk level. If the two phylogenetic trees were similar, Yi explained (and Zhong concurred), it would confirm that the disease was again afoot and, in this...

He doesn't rule out colonizing other planets, although he expects it will take "some 200 years to reconstruct Mars to make it suitable to sustain human life...

...less than the United States, but was nonetheless incapable of openly challenging himself. The popular response on the Arab street, as suggested by the massive protests in Cairo and Amman, clearly indicate growing animosity towards the U.S. Finally, the U.S.’s inability to quickly stabilize and reconstruct Iraq—regardless of fault—has created a focal point for anti-American Islamic militants to recruit new operatives and violently engage American troops...
