Ben S. Bernanke’s interest-rate cuts have touched off a vicious circle of doom for the dollar.
The Federal Reserve reduced the rate on direct loans to commercial banks by a quarter-point to 3.25 percent before Asian financial markets opened today. It will likely lower its target rate for overnight loans between banks tomorrow to at least 2.25 percent from 3 percent, according to futures traded on the Chicago Board of Trade. Lower borrowing costs work against the dollar by making fixed-income securities issued by the government less appealing to global investors.

Is the United States moving toward military action with Iran?
The resignation of the top U.S. military commander for the Middle East is setting off alarms that the Bush administration is intent on using military force to stop Iran’s moves toward gaining nuclear weapons.
In announcing his sudden resignation today following a report on his views in Esquire, Adm. William Fallon didn’t directly deny that he differs with President Bush over at least some aspects of the president’s policy on Iran. For his part, Defense Secretary Robert Gates said it is “ridiculous” …

Israel intensified patrols near the Lebanese border over the weekend its in anticipation for a possible attack by the Lebanese militant group Hezbollah as the end of the mourning period of its assassinated military commander Imad Mughaniyeh approached, a Lebanese security source said Sunday.
Hezbollah has blamed Israel for the February 12 car bombing that killed Imad Mughaniyeh, a Hezbollah leader suspected of masterminding a series of terrorist attacks against US and Jewish targets in and outside Lebanon. The Israeli government has so far denied the charge.

Beekeepers have warned that most of the country’s honey bees could be wiped out by disease in 10 years unless an urgent research program is launched to find new treatments and drugs. They are to launch a nationwide campaign, including protests, to force the government to fund the £8m research project which they say is needed to save the nation’s bees.
Ministers say they have no budget for such a program, a claim rejected by keepers, who are to lobby MPs, gather at the House of Commons for a protest meeting …

Efforts to screen patients for drug-resistant staph infections at the time of their hospital admissions appear to be ineffective in stemming the spread of the potentially deadly “superbug” known as MRSA, new research suggests.
The finding is the latest bad news for the control of the bacteria MRSA — short for methicillin-resistant staphylococcus aureus. The germ, which doctors believe gained its drug-resistant properties from years of inappropriate antibiotic use, garnered headlines in October when researchers from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention identified it as the culprit in an …

For too many teenage girls, the numbers released Tuesday hold the threat of infertility and cancer.
For the experienced U.S. health experts who reported them, the data were alarming and disappointing.
More than one in four teenage girls in the U.S. has a sexually transmitted disease, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said.
That translates to 3.2 million girls ages 14 to 19 who are infected with human papillomavirus (HPV), chlamydia, herpes simplex virus, or trichomoniasis. Among girls with STDs, 15 percent had more than one.
The numbers came as no surprise to …

Scientists say it was a small earthquake that shook houses in Chester and surrounding towns.
The U.S. Geological Survey says it recorded a 2.0 magnitude earthquake early Tuesday morning three miles northwest of the center of Chester.
Many people in the area called 911 to report that their houses were shaking. The state police dispatched troopers, but they weren’t able to find any reason for the shaking.
Earthquakes are unusual in Connecticut.

The scariest thing I’ve read recently is a speech given last week by Tim Geithner, the president of the Federal Reserve Bank of New York. Mr. Geithner came as close as a Fed official can to saying that we’re in the midst of a financial meltdown.
To understand the gravity of the situation, you have to know what the Fed did last summer, and again last fall.
As late as August the favorite buzzword of financial officials was “contained”: problems in subprime mortgages, we were assured, wouldn’t spread to other financial markets …
