BBC - The periodic phenomenon known as El Nino has developed in the
Pacific Ocean threatening extreme weather in many parts of the world, US
scientists say. El Ninos begin with a warming of waters in the eastern
Pacific, and there has been a steep rise in water temperature in recent
weeks, they say. This El Nino is likely to strengthen towards the end of
the year and early into 2007, the researchers add. However it is not
expected to reach the strength of the 1997 phenomenon. In that year El
Nino brought drought to parts of Asia and Australia, and heavy rains and
floods to Latin America.

REUTERS - Fans of hip hop music are likely to have had more sexual
partners in the last five years while many of those who prefer classical
strains will have tried cannabis, according to a study released on
Thursday. Psychologist Adrian North from the University of Leicester
surveyed 2,500 Britons to find out how their musical tastes related to
their lifestyles and interests. . . Almost 38 percent of hip hop
devotees and 29 percent of dance music fans were more likely to have had
more than one sexual partner in the last five years compared to just 1.5
percent of country music fans. However they were also more likely to
have broken the law, with more than 50 percent of both hip hop and dance
music lovers admitting committing a criminal act.
A quarter of classical music fans have tried cannabis while 12 percent
of those who liked opera had experimented with magic mushrooms.
