...much greater risk of developing not just heart disease but diabetes as well. They're not sure whether there is a primary trigger for metabolic syndrome--say, obesity or insulin resistance--or if several biological pathways are involved.

They need the facilities for them to work at that level." While the proposed lab has no links with HLS, SHAC is also taking a keen interest. "Do these people really think that we're going to let the largest primate-neuroscience...
...from their homes in southern France receded at the week's end. But three days of heavy rains and high winds left 250,000 people without drinking water and 37,000 without electricity. President Jacques Chirac pledged €12 million for the stricken region.
