LOS ANGELES  - Some things just elude   prognostication. Middle East politics, Midwest weather patterns   and college basketball's March Madness tournament, for example,   are so unpredictable that to impose any set of expectations on   what the future might bring is futile.

U.S. News & World Report - Investors putting money into the chemical industry today should know that they are, in effect, placing a bet on who has the best strategy for riding the bumpy energy landscape ahead. It&#39;s a sector in transition, since its long-favored feedstock for making a wide array of chemicals--from ammonia to plant fertilizer to adhesives--is natural gas.

Weather forecasting just isn't what it used to be. With thousands of satellites orbiting Earth, with astronauts living in the international space station and perhaps venturing later to the moon and Mars, and with nations utterly dependent on space-based assets for their communications, navigation and spying, those responsible for the safety of all these moving parts need to know about a whole new world of weather conditions. ...
