Oxfam: Outline WTO deal has major flaws for poor countries
The deal emerging in WTO talks has some serious flaws and falls far short of the pro-development reform that was originally promised, said international agency Oxfam today.
Only half the critical issues have been addressed and while there have been some improvements in rich country positions, the demands on developing countries are still disproportionate and their potential impact uncertain until further details emerge.
Isabel Mazzei, Head of Oxfam International's office in Geneva said: "There are some potentially serious pitfalls lurking in this outline agreement and it represents a serious watering down of original ambitions for trade reform to reduce poverty. For a deal to be worth welcoming there must be tighter disciplines on developed countries' agricultural spending and poor countries must have proper flexibilities to promote rural livelihoods and adequate space to develop their industries."
The highlights of the framework agreement, hammered out between 7 key players and then consulted on with a wider group, are as follows:
• Cap on overall trade distorting farm subsidies of $14.4bn for the US and €22bn for EU
• Developing countries can designate 12% of agricultural tariff lines as 'special', which means they will be subject to lower tariff cuts. 5% will face no cuts at all. These are products deemed vital for food security and rural livelihoods.
• Developed countries can designate 4% of agricultural tariff lines as 'sensitive', again meaning they are subject to lower cuts. These are likely to include dairy and beef.
• The proposals on the Special Safeguard Mechanism (SSM), designed to allow poor countries to protect small farmers against agricultural import surges, would allow tariffs to go above Uruguay Round levels only if imports increased by 40% or more, and then only on 2.5% of tariff lines in any year.
• Developing countries like India, Brazil, Indonesia, South Africa and Venezuela will have to cut industrial tariffs by around 57% on average, with no flexibilities. If they opt for slightly higher overall cuts (60% or above) they will have some more room to move, but still not enough to ensure they will be able to successfully industrialize.
• Crucially and controversially, the flexibilities in the industrial market access deal (known as NAMA) cannot all be used for the same sector ('anti-concentration'). At least 9% of the total value of the trade in any sector and 20% of tariff lines must be exempt from protection. This means a country could not amass flexibilities to fully protect its automobile industry, for example.
• Countries are under pressure to open certain industrial sectors faster or deeper than others. They will be given fewer flexibilities if they don't do this. This is despite the fact that participating in these so-called 'sectoral' initiatives was meant to be optional.
• There will be a separate meeting on services liberalisation today. This includes sectors like banking, insurance, communications. Countries will be asked to signal the offers they intend to make.
Oxfam analysis:
• The draft text caters to and reflects the concerns and sensitivities of major developed countries, while granting inadequate or ineffective instruments of flexibility for developing countries.
• The US agriculture offer is an improvement but still a 'glass half full'. A cap of $14.4bn will not require them to cut a cent from current spending, which stands at around $7bn. EU cap of €22bn may cut into current spending but there is still room for them to move.
• Clearer disciplines on rich countries' subsidies, including for specific products, are very important (and the details of these are yet to emerge). This is because both the EU and US are very good at exploiting loopholes in WTO rules. They have both used the WTO box system to reclassify subsidies rather than cutting them.
• The so-called 'Green Box', for allegedly non-trade distorting subsidises, is being exploited by the EU in particular, which has shifted a huge amount of spending into this category. Oxfam analysis suggests subsidies in this box will still distort trade and hurt poor countries' farmers.
• The new US Farm Bill, recently passed by the US Congress, also exploits flexibilities in the box system, with the result that the overall level of subsidy spending may actually increase in the US.
• Earlier in the week, the US indicated that it wanted immunity from future legal challenge at the WTO – a request which, if granted, could completely undermine the minimal benefits of reform by rendering WTO rules unenforceable.
• The flexibilities for developing countries are inadequate. They are not what they were asking for and not enough in light of recent food price volatility.
• The G33 group of food importing countries wanted 20% of tariff lines to be designated Special Products, with half of these subject to no cuts.
• The SSM proposals are very problematic and far from what developing countries need.
• The SSM has so many conditions attached as to render it operationally ineffective.
• The WTO principle of Special and Differential Treatment for poorer countries is violated across the board.
• The issue of US cotton subsidies has not been addressed, even though it was meant to be fast tracked as a priority and is of vital significance for the economies and people in a number of African countries, notably Burkina Faso, Mali, Chad and Benin.
• The non-agricultural market access (NAMA) deal is very bad for poor countries. It is a direct violation of the principle of less than full reciprocity, in that it would require developing countries to make significantly bigger tariff reductions than developed.
• The NAMA deal will undermine future industrial development in poor countries, locking them into low value economies. All now-industrialized countries, including the EU, US, Korea and Japan, used tariffs to protect infant industry. The imposition of big cuts and limited flexibilities now for poor countries is a case of "do as we say, not as we did".
• The International Trade Union Confederation (ITUC) estimates that the NAMA deal could lead to substantial job losses in developing countries – 200,000 in Argentina, as 1.2m in Brazil and 150,000 in Tunisia.
• The link between sectorals and flexibilities is very problematic
Mazzei: "Rich countries have made some concessions but developing countries are being made to give much more. This is turning a 'development round' on its head."
Ministers will continue negotiating in Geneva, with talks possibly lasting until Wednesday.

The 15-year-old special needs student from Lakewood High School who went missing Monday afternoon returned to school this morning after spending the night at a female friend's house in Long Beach.
Destiny Shorter was reported missing Monday afternoon after she was spotted leaving the school at 4400 Briercrest Ave. and never arrived home, according to the Lakewood Sheriff's Station.
Lakewood deputies launched an extensive search for the teen, who is considered critically missing because she has the mental capacity of a second grader, according to a sheriff's department statement.
The search continued overnight as deputies followed up on various leads and utilized specially trained bloodhounds. However, all leads were exhausted.
At 7:55 am this morning, authorities were notified that Destiny arrived at Lakewood High and she is currently being interviewed by investigators, who noted there are no indications of foul play.
"She left school with a female friend, who is also a student, and spent the night at her home in Long Beach," according to the Lakewood Station. "It appears she believed she would be punished after being scolded by her sister for using a cellular telephone without permission, so she went home with a friend."
Destiny has been reunited with her mother, who is relieved about her daughter's safe return.

An armed man is on the loose after allegedly shooting and injuring his 18-year-old sister in Edgewood Saturday night, the Harford County Sheriff's Office said in a statement Sunday.
On Dec. 29, the woman and her mother had been involved in a family argument with Keef Devon Alfonso Burley, 20, and asked him to leave their home on the 1800 block of Grempler Way when the tension mounted, The Aegis first reported.
As the mother and daughter were closing the front door just before 11:15 p.m., Burley pulled out a gun and shot through the door, striking the 18-year-old in the lower back, said Edward Hopkins, spokesman for the Harford County Sheriff's Office. Hopkins said that one shot was fired.
The victim, who was Burley's sister, was taken by ambulance to Johns Hopkins Bayview with injuries not believed to be life-threatening, Hopkins said on Sunday.
Law enforcement officials continue to search for Burley, who is considered armed and dangerous, said Hopkins.
According to court records, Burley also resided on the 1800 block of Grempler Way in Edgewood as recently as November, after he was indicted on multiple drug charges, including intent to distribute narcotics. The sheriff's office said that Burley reportedly did not live with his mother and sister.
Burley is described as a 20-year-old African-American male who is 5'10" and 140 pounds. Anyone who has information regarding the whereabouts of Keef Devon Alfonso Burley should contact the Southern Precinct at 410-612-1717 or the Sheriff's Office Criminal Investigation Division at 410-836-5429.
This article was updated at 3 p.m. to include additional information from the Harford County Sheriff's Office about the shooting.

NORCROSS -- Peachtree Corners is no longer just a development.In just a few short months, it will officially become Gwinnett's 16th city. Voters approved incorporation of the community of 38,000 in the county's northwest Gwinnett corner by a margin of 4,348 to 3,272, according to unofficial results late Tuesday. "The people have spoken," said Mike Mason, who has lead the campaign as the president of the United Peachtree Corners Civic Association. "Now, we have a voice. We can have a plan for the future." After debating for years and watching new cities form at its edge, leaders proposed a limited municipal government to govern code enforcement, planning and zoning and solid waste. While the scope of the new city is small, limited to only up to 1 mil in property taxes, a large "no" contingent formed, challenging the need for another level of bureaucracy in the prosperous community, designed 40 years ago as metro Atlanta's first live-work-play development. None of the leaders of the Peachtree Corners Ballot Committee, who headed the anti-city campaign, returned phone calls Tuesday. "The headwinds we faced from the distrust in government was amazing," Mason said, adding that the issue has been prevalent across the United States. "You just have to earn folks' trust." Commissioner Lynette Howard, who lives in Peachtree Corners and represents the area on the Gwinnett commission, said cityhood will allow local residents to have more control of their own destiny. "I just love the branding and the identity, and it's just going to strengthen," she said. "It's so exciting. It's not (just) a volunteer community anymore." A City Council election will be held in March, and the city will become official on July 1. In another referendum, a vote in a small unincorporated Norcross neighborhood to become part of the city passed by just one vote. Residents votes 83 to 82 in favor of joining the nearby city.

ZEBULON — Ramona Davis and her beautification committee cohorts have been relentless trying to help an area of town where none of them own a business.
If enough interest is shown by those who do own downtown Zebulon businesses, there may soon be a new force in place to take some of the burden off Davis and the members of the Zebulon Beautification Committee.
Talks of a downtown merchants association began late last year, when the committee established to research the value of an downtown overlay district was finalizing its recommendation to the town board. That committee consisted mostly of downtown business owners.
Local attorney Mike Weeks, who served as chairman of the overlay committee, said he plans to organize a meeting of all downtown businesses in a matter of weeks to see what thoughts they have on forming an association.
While the downtown's appearance has been one of the main focal points of the beautification committee, so have commerce and addressing ways to fill the 14 vacant properties in the town's main corridor. The overlay committee spent countless hours researching the same issues. Weeks said the former members of that group are ideal candidates for a merchants association steering committee.
"We are familiar with these problems, and the people on the overlay (committee) were the ones that showed enough interest in the downtown area and eventually made very good recommendations to the board of commissioners," said Weeks, whose law firm has been based in downtown Zebulon for 40 years.
"(A merchants association) doesn't exclusively have to be the overlay committee, but it would probably be a good deal of them discussing what to do moving forward."
Weeks said if an association is formed its members would determine the scope of its involvement in downtown. But he said the ultimate goal of an association would be fostering business.
"First and foremost, it's a committee that would try to promote commerce in downtown," Weeks said. "When you say that, there's lots of things you can do to promote commerce. I'd suspect that would be our primary goal. If we can't do that, we probably aren't going to go forward with it."
The Zebulon Chamber of Commerce supports the idea. Executive Director Kim Valentine sees an association as a vessel for the merchants to be more involved, both in downtown and with the chamber.
"They're not going to be doing exactly what we're doing," Valentine said, noting the chamber serves businesses in all areas of town. "The town by itself or chamber by itself doesn't know all their concerns and wants, so they have to communicate with us. We have to work together to improve the things that need to be improved."
Merchant perspectives
Italia Express owner Ray Swaiti thinks an association would give merchants a strengthened, unified voice in getting their concerns across to town hall.
"One person by himself is not going to do the job," Swaiti said. "Too many things need to get done that aren't getting done. There is no support for these little shops – they feel like they are left behind, left out.
"If businesses get together and put a little bit of pressure, we can get better response, better support."
Jim Slaughter, owner of Zebulon Jewelry and Pawn, is on board with the idea but is unsure how effective a merchants association would be in terms of solving downtown's issues. He thinks the town could do more to attract commerce toward its core.
"I just have my doubts on the influence we would have with the town," Slaughter said. "I could come up with a lot of things we could do, but is (town) hall going to let me do it?
"(Town) hall is going to have to spend some money and do some things. There's got to be a happy medium if you want Zebulon to grow."
A more lively vibe
Davis has, for several years, organized seasonal meetings of the downtown merchants with a goal of uniting them on efforts to improve the area.
Weeks spoke of a merchants association at the most recent meeting, held Oct. 1. Davis said the meeting had a different vibe than those before.
"Everyone was speaking up, voicing their opinion, and there was good discussion," she said. "Everyone was really coming together on wanting to improve downtown and it really was the first time I've seen so much positive reinforcement for bringing downtown back to life again."

The truth is that toddlers are fascinated with iPads, 'smart' phones, etc.. Young children have no fears when using technology, instead they seem to gravitate to it. CTA Digital has taken toddlers' technology desires and fused it with a new I-Potty. A stand that holds the iPad is connected to the potty chair and seems to suggest more success in children learning to use the potty.
Before you get too excited, remember that the American Pediatric Association has recommended no 'screen' time for children under 2 years old and very limited time for a preschooler. This screen time includes watching television, DVD's, and using computers.
Yet, we can interact during use of an e-book, or iPad, enriching the experience. In our society, we see young children using technology in restaurants and stores — more as a way to keep the child satisfied, with minimumn adult interaction. The i-Potty, I fear, will replace the interactions with adults.
If you are reading this and have an interst in the product, or a stand for children to use when they graduate to an adult-sized toilet, you may find more information at http://m.digitaltrends.com/mobile/ipotty-for-ipad.

Miami Responded
One notes, ith a feeling of ex-
treme happiness indeed, that the
citizens of Miami were not found
wanting last Tuesday. Calm de-
liberation, cool and collected judg-
ment, and a study of the vital
needs of the eit> prevailed over
hysteria, rash promises, bragga-
docio and appeal to mob rule.
The election of Robert R. Wil-
liams, Alexander Orr. Jr., and Or-
ville Rigby to the city commission
of .Miami showed that the citizen-
ry of .Miami can be aroused to its
civic duly when the occasion arises
and necessity demands.
Of particular interest to our peo-
ple was the repudiation, in over-
whelming and unmistakable fash-
ion, of the appeal to the voters to
reject one of the candidates simply
because he was foreign born. The
result shows in unmistakable terms
that an appeal to prejudice such as
was made in this case will not be
tolerated by the thinking and de-
cent citizen. It serves notice upon
ail the people that a man must be
judged solely upon his character
and fitness for the office which
he seeks.
The appeal of the demaoKue in
the Magic City of Miami has been
silenced by an avalanche of votes.
Miami is indeed to be congratulat-
ed on such action. It bespeaks well
for its future.
We know that every Jewish cit-
izen and resident of our fair city
can be counted on wholeheartedly
by the members of the city com-
mission, old as well as new, in
every movement that has for its
purpose the welfare of Miami.

Hay celebration at Temple Israel,
sponsored by; the local B'nai B'rith
Lodge last Sunday night. The
meeting was opened with an ad-
dress of welcome by Mr. Isaac
Levin, president of the lodge. He
then presented Stanley C. Myers,
chairman of the cultural and en-
tertainment committee, who pre-
sided. Mrs. Hannah Spiro Asher

Philadelphia Important new
discoveries in the treatment of
asthma and in the diagnosis of
cancer were reported to the loth
annual session of the American
College of Physicians by Dr. Al-
van 1.. Barach of the Columbia-
Presbyterian Medical ('enter in
New York and Dr. Benjamin Grus-
kin of the medical school of Tem-
ple University, Philadelphia, re-
spectively. Dr. Barach's contri-
bution to medical science was the
discovery that helium benefits
asthma sufferers when all other
remedies have failed. Dr. GrU
kin's discovery was the develop-
ment of two new substances which
reveal the existence of cancer in
its earliest stages long before th_'
disease can be detected by X-rays
or any other methods.
Three Groups Spread Hatred of
Jews in South African Provinces
Johannesburg--Reports from the
provincial centers of the Union of
South Africa indicate that anti-
Jewish agitation is growing under
a variety of disguises. In Cape-
town the movement is being spon-
sored by the Gentile Protection
League, headed by J. H. II. de
Waal, son of an ex-speaker of the
Union parliament. De Waal has
published a book called "My
Awakening," which is the best tra-
dition of Nazi anti-Semitic litera-
ture. One of the illustrations
shows Jews tapping and draining
the blood of Christian children.
Ceneral Jan Christian Smuts, for-
mer premier and now minister of
justice, is considering what action
should be taken against this in-
flammatory volume. In Western
Transvaal the South African Na-
tional Party is holding large and
regular meetings in the towns and
villages at which anti-Semitic
Speeches are made. The economic
depression in this area is being
utilized to stir up the farmers
against the Jews. A third anti-
Semitic organization is the South
African National Democratic
Movement, which is active in East*
em Transvaal. This group pub-
lishes a paper called "Ons Reg" or
"Our Right," which contains re-
peated attacks on the Jewish pop-
ulation. Jewish leaders here are
trying to get the local authorities
to prohibit the meetings of these
groups on the ground that they are
a menace to public order.
Turkish Jew Invents Devise to

chine is able to detect underground
sources of water, determine wheth-
er certain soils will yield crops

'"If arcorded fair treatment and

Mr. Inch pointed out the con-

"The alternative is tile expendi-

private capital can do better, the
further destruction of the sources

The ninth National Jewish Hook Week in America will

Ethics of the Fathers and the Old Sages of Israel. It is but
one aspect of modern Jewish education to re-awaken race-

civilization of a people.
The purpose of this Festival, also known in early days
as the Scholars' Festival, is to hring? to the attention of both

in the education, the culture and the self-respect of every

Customer Raves & Reviews
Linen paper- So nice!
Damask Elegance Foldover Pockets I got the Damask Elegance pocket invitations and they turned out exactly how I expected them to look. The paper quality of the linen is really, really nice... and at no extra cost! I also like the Tiffany blue box they come in, carefully packaged with tissue paper. You feel like you are really getting good quality service. I've also had a lot of help from the customer service. I had trouble with the editor and they helped me find a solution that worked. Great quality, although a littttle expensive. I recommend!
Wedding Invitations
Damask Elegance Rectangle Invitations I love how my invitations turned out. I got the Damask style and they look great! I proofed everything and placed the order and naturally the next day I wasn't happy with how I layed out my invitation. I was able to call the next day and they took down my change requests and e-mailed all of my proofs to approve again and make any additional changes. Online doesn't give you the complete flexibility with size choice, but they go over anything they think will be too small and made the adjustments for me. I didn't know they did this so it was great that they look it over and notice somethign wouldn't work and fix it for me. I also love that I was able to make a 2nd check and not get stuck with my first selection. Delivery was very prompt, got in less than 2 wks.
Gorgeous fans/programs!
Square Motif Wedding Program Fans The fans/programs I ordered for my daughter's wedding were absolutely gorgeous! The quality was excellent, the design was beautiful and they were printed and shipped very quickly. I highly recommend Magnet Street for your printing needs.
Beautiful, easy invites!
Something Blue Foldover Pockets These invites are beautiful and so easy! The customization turned out exactly as I'd hoped. Replaced the white on the front and the light blue on the inside with Navy blue. Switched the lace pattern to champagne and ivory and made the small light blue stripe on the front ivory. All the beauty of a pocket invite without the hours of assembly. The paper was high quality and we have received a ton of compliments on how nice they are.
Awesome Value
Classic Violet Rectangle Invitations This card was exactly what we were looking for and 100% customizable. They worked with us and sent multiple previews to make sure we were completely satisfied. Great price for a great quality invitation. I recommend Magnetstreet to every bride!

Wow, you just can't make this stuff up. I once read that once a tax was in place it would stay in place forever. The last I knew, the administration and all legislators wanted to do everything humanly possible to perpetuate the housing recovery?
The home buyer and anyone that wants to refinance are paying fees that are much too high, which certainly does hurt the middle class. I know, no new taxes for the middle class, we are only kidding ourselves.

The Orange Leader
In 1995, Michael Hoke, a local science teacher, joined with DuPont Sabine River Works to develop a program called Science SuperStars. After a five year hiatus, Science SuperStars will again be a program offered to eighth grade students in Orange County thanks to a grant from DuPont and a dedicated group of volunteers. Hoke, founder and Director of Science SuperStars will again direct this program designed to improve scientific literacy and attitudes of children throughout the county.
Students are selected from schools throughout the county to participate in this program. Each student is required to attend a free two-week summer camp in Orange at which they learn both science concepts and existing ways to present these concepts to other students. After students have received this training, they then present highly motivation science shows to elementary students throughout the region during the 2013-2014 school year.
The selection process for participation in this program includes the submission of a recent report card and a teacher recommendation. Students must be entering the eighth grade and be able to attend one of the workshops, either June 17 through June 28 or July 29 through Aug. 9. Workshops will be help at West Orange-Stark Middle School cafeteria on Green Avenue in Orange. Local teachers and SuperStar alumni, along with Mr. Hoke, will teach students at these sessions.
Currently in the U.S., there are at least 10 Science SuperStar programs operating, all with their origins from the one started in Orange County, Texas.
"We owe it to our children in Orange County to offer this program and DuPont has generously agreed to sponsor Science SuperStars," Hoke said. "Hopefully, we can again provide this quality science program to children throughout Orange County to better prepare them for their future."
Parents interested in their child attending this program may receive an application by e-mailing Hoke at email@example.com. The deadline for all applications is June 10, 2013.

WENDELL — A Mount Holly man faces methamphetamine-possession charges, the third person police have arrested in the same case.
Michael Dean Giggey, 24, of 1548 Old Hwy. 27, was arrested early Thursday morning after what began as a shoplifting complaint at a Sheetz convenience store on Wendell Boulevard.
Giggey was charged with possession of methamphetamine and possession with intent to sell it, possession of other prescription drugs and possession of a counterfeit controlled substance with intent to sell it as a controlled substance.
Giggey was being held in lieu of $75,000 bail for an appearance in front of a judge Friday.
Wendell police also charged Aaron James Peedin, 21, and Angela Michelle Cogan, 22, who told police they live in an apartment at 3915 Marcom St. in Raleigh.
Cogan faces the same drug charges as Giggey and a charge of maintaining a 2006 Kia as a place to keep and sell drugs.
Peedin was charged with possession of meth, possession to sell it and with misdemeanor larceny and was being held on $25,500 bond.
Cogans bail was set at $50,000, and Wake County Sheriffs Office records indicated Friday that she had been freed.

Forget the halibut in Dana Point harbor, one angler was recently surprised when he reeled in a spotted ratfish during a 1/2 day boat excursion aboard the 'Real Fun' operated by Dana Wharf Sportfishing and Whale Watching.
According to General Manager Donna Kalez, these fish, like the one above are far from typical.
"It was a super cool catch," she said. "We've not seen one here in about two years and it is definitely not eatable."
She said Capt. Dusty Mayo had to send it to another captain to find out what the heck it was.
According to Ocean.org: "the scientific name of the spotted ratfish means "water rabbit," and it is also called the blunt-nosed chimaera. It belongs to the same family as the rabbit fish and is similar in shape, but unlike its relative, it does not have an anal fin on the underside next to the tail. Its pattern of white spots on a dark background may provide camouflage in the same way as the spots help to camouflage deer in a forest.
"The spotted ratfish uses its large pectoral fins to glide and flap its way over the seabed in search of its prey, which consists mainly of mollusks and crustaceans. Like other chimaeras, the female lays eggs, each one encased in a tadpole-shaped, protective capsule. The eggs are laid in the summer, two at a time, and are dropped onto the seabed."
Like Kalez mentioned, the ratfish is not fished commercially, since it is not very palatable, although it is sometimes unintentionally caught in nets along with other fish, Oceana.org says.
"It is not popular with fishermen because it has the ability to inflict a nasty wound with its sharp dorsal spine and can also deliver a painful bite. The spotted ratfish is frequently encountered at night by scuba divers, its large eyes glowing green by flashlight," the site says.
The folks over at Laguna Niguel Lake have never seen a ratfish. They say it's more of a saltwater fish.
At the lake, the top three fish caught:
Winter season - Rainbow trout, bluegill, crappie
Summer season: Channel catfish, largemouth bass, bluegill/crappie

Thread: Head Unit Suggestions
Head Unit Suggestions
I am researching new double din Nav radio's. I would like to replace my stock head unit at the same time I do my other upgrades to the sound system. My wife has a Kenwood DNX6990 (I think that is the one she has) so I am some what familar with that radio. What I am interested in is other makes and models. What you like/dislike about them. Yes I know this is a subjective question but who would know better about specific model flaws better than someone who owens one? The options I would like to keep are my steering wheel controls, bluetooth, USB, and XM. Other than what came from the factory I would also like Nav (preferably Garmin) and a DVD player. That would be for the CFO while on trips. I figure I throw a Harry Potter DVD in and she won't complain about my driving. Although the dogs get sick when she is driving not while I am. But anyways any suggestions would be appreciated.

Kenwood's units use Garmin for nav and I believe they're the only ones who do. (Pioneer doesn't, I know this for sure.) I've tried a number of portable nav devices (TomTom, Magellan, Garmin) through the years and found that I personally prefer Garmin units.
As for options -- steering wheel controls are provided by an aftermarket module (unaffiliated with the head unit manufacturer) to whatever unit you choose ... as long as it can support steering wheel controls. Most double-DIN units can. XM is also typically a module that plugs into the unit -- and you need to buy it separately.
So basically the head unit really comes down to DVD, Nav, BT and USB ports for things like iPhones. Nav ends up being the real differentiator in most cases because most of today's Nav-capable units have DVD, BT, and USB support.
I have always liked Kenwood, they stand behind their products and don't fudge the specs like allot of other manufacturers do. I would recommend for the best experience to go with the Excelon series (Like Sony ES, no longer made), Pioneer Elite (No longer made for car audio).
The Excelon Series is Kenwoods top stuff.
I will also suggest Kenwood.1994 Chevy K2500 Silverado, 454 (modified), original owner.
And other vehicles and toys.

I ended up going with pioneer but that was only for the fact I could use
iPhone and the app modes with it. But if I had to do it over again it would be kenwood. I had kenwood in my old 93 k1500 blazer and loved it and would recommend it to anyone

Thank you all for the replies. I ended up getting a DNX6990. One of the main reasons for me picking that one over other was that we already have one in another car. So I don't have to learn new controls. The price was easier on the wallet than say a 9990 would have been.
