Richard Baldwin's columns of May 16 and 17 (Baldwin 2011 a, b) err badly both in characterizing US policy toward Doha and in criticizing the alternative trade policy strategies available to the United States.
His premise is that reductions in tariffs in partner countries are the main goal of US trade policy. As he acknowledges in the first sentence of his second column, however, "21st century trade agreements are not about tariff preferences, they are about making it easier to do business internationally." The current Doha package fails to do so and has therefore generated virtually no interest in the United States. Its failure to come up with any meaningful offers on services, where the United States has major competitive strength and other countries retain substantial barriers, is the clearest example of this Doha shortcoming. He then argues that the United States is prepared to let Doha fail primarily because of its interest in maintaining its "tariff leverage," retaining the ability to eliminate its remaining (very small) duties in return for greater reciprocity at some point in the future. But this argument has hardly been mentioned in the Doha debate in Washington. It certainly does not dominate US policy.
The reason for US disinterest is very simple. As my colleagues Gary C. Hufbauer and Jeffrey J. Schott have documented so clearly (Hufbauer and Schott 2010), the formula cuts of farm subsidies and tariffs and industrial tariffs currently on the table in the Doha Round would expand total US exports by a munificent $6 billion to $7 billion. The number is so embarrassingly small that no US industry or firm has lobbied the administration or Congress on the Round during the entirety of the Obama administration (or for some time before). US business has voiced more interest in the FTA with tiny Panama, not to mention the much bigger FTAs with Colombia and especially Korea. Dr. Baldwin is simply incorrect to assert that "the Doha tariff cuts would be the biggest market opening initiative ever signed by the United States"; Hufbauer-Schott show that what has been agreed so far would entail US trade gains considerably smaller than NAFTA and the Korea FTA.
In his prescriptive second column (Baldwin 2011b), Baldwin argues that the United States has no alternative strategy to increase its global market access because domestic political constraints will hamper its pursuit of regional and bilateral FTAs. He acknowledges that the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) is the "strong point" in this alternative approach but ignores the likely near-term expansion of its coverage to at least Japan and Korea and the resultant pressure this will put on the rest of Asia, including China, that could enable TPP to realize its ultimate goal of becoming a Free Trade Area of the Asia Pacific by 2020.
In doubting the ability of the United States to win the FTA race, or at least obviate the current discrimination against it by catching up with the intra-Asian and EU regional pacts already in place, he ignores the strong prospect that the United States will trim its negotiating sails to enable it to do so. Even the strongest Congressional and other advocates for US agriculture and labor standards understand that the country must fight preferential fire with fire, and the geopolitical imperative that prompted President Obama to join the Trans-Pacific Partnership negotiations in the first place militate very strongly against letting those talks fail. In short, TPP (and an eventual Free Trade Area of the Asia Pacific) have very strong domestic constituencies in the United States, whereas Doha has very few.
The fixation in Baldwin (2011 b) on the multilateral option also clouds his judgment on the timing of US trade initiatives. There is no reason to believe that it will be harder for the administration to make deals in 2013 (or even 2012) than now, and it should in fact be considerably easier if unemployment declines substantially by then and the more competitive dollar produces a substantial reduction in the US trade deficit. Contrary to the assumption in Baldwin (2011), China and other emerging markets might also be more willing to compromise in a year or two as they gain confidence in the global recovery (and hence their own) and increasingly recognize their national interests in assuming responsible leadership of the global trading system commensurate with their increasingly central roles in it. It must also be noted that some of the emerging markets' priority trade "asks" of the United States, such as China's desire for early market economy status and India's wish to expand visa opportunities for its high-tech professionals, can be better pursued bilaterally than multilaterally.
I share Richard Baldwin's fervent desire to revive the Doha Round and restore the multilateral track toward trade liberalization. However, I reject his view that the United States is the sole (or even primary) source of the pending failure. There is plenty of blame to go around, and the abject failure of all the major trading countries to put meaningful offers on the table, or even to start serious negotiations on the crucial services sector, are at least equally at fault. My colleagues Hufbauer and Schott quantified the sizable potential gains from including services, several sectorals, and a robust facilitation agenda, but the continued absence of all three dooms Doha at this juncture and suggests that the running on trade liberalization will take place far from Geneva for at least the foreseeable future.

Full review
Apple's latest line of Cinema HD Displays (available in 20-inch, 23-inch and 30-inch models) ushers in a renewed spirit of cross-platform cooperation. Thanks to a DVI connector on every Cinema HD Display, PC users can now enjoy the fabulous design and stunning image quality that Apple aficionados have been luxuriating in since the iMac.
The 23-inch Cinema HD Display, in particular, is a looker. It's so lovely that we're willing to forgive its high price (£1,049 inc. VAT, as of May 2005), limited adjustability and lack of video inputs. In fact, hooking it up to a comparatively hideous Intel-based PC feels like such a crime that we're beginning to suspect an ulterior motive on Apple's part. How much was that Apple Power Mac G5 again?
The Cinema HD Display's design leaves no detail overlooked. The sleek, 18mm brushed-aluminium bezel is unblemished by anything so vulgar as a power button (it's tucked discreetly into the right-side edge of the display), and the aluminium neck and base form a simple, elegant L shape that's both completely stable and smooth enough on the bottom to turn and slide easily across your desktop.
As you contemplate the Cinema HD Display's pristine beauty, you'll notice small, elegant details, such as the oval cable pass-through ringed with white plastic; the single white cord, which meets the glossy white power brick and splits into signal, power, USB and FireWire cables; and the DVI connector, which also wears a tidy, white, iPod-style suit.
The simple design, however, limits the adjustments you can make to the display panel. The neck height is fixed, so very tall users may have to set the Cinema Display on a riser (although it's almost painful to contemplate sullying the display's minimalist appearance with such a device). Also, unlike many large LCDs, the Cinema HD lacks the ability to pivot between Portrait and Landscape modes -- a feature that would have made it even easier to view legal documents and Web pages.
But although the display doesn't have a hinge or a lazy Susan for swivelling left and right, the slippery aluminium base lets you accomplish the same thing by sliding the monitor around. The panel also tilts back and forth about 20 degrees and 5 degrees, respectively -- it's by far the smoothest, easiest tilt function we've ever seen in an LCD.
This generation of Cinema Displays marks Apple's return to a DVI connection (after years of using a proprietary ADC connection), making the Cinema HD Display PC-compatible. Also, for the first time, the new Cinema HD Displays are compatible with VESA mounts, allowing you to attach the monitors to walls.
But unlike many jumbo LCDs that incorporate home entertainment features such as picture-in-picture, a TV tuner or composite and S-Video ports, the Cinema Display provides only two USB and two FireWire ports. We're willing to forgive these omissions because this LCD looks so pretty, but you should know that you can get these video extras in a 23-inch LCD (such as the HP L2035) that costs considerably less than the Apple Cinema HD Display.
If you're using the Cinema Display with a Wintel machine, the only adjustment you can make to the display's image is to its brightness. The touch-sensitive brightness-control buttons are nestled out of sight along the right-side edge of the panel (below the power button) and blend perfectly with the white plastic end pieces. Luckily, the image quality is so good that the average Wintel user won't miss the ability to tweak contrast or individual colour values. When we hooked it up to our Power Mac G4, we were able to tweak the image using Apple's Display Calibrator Assistant.
Our DisplayMate intensity and greyscale test screens revealed some obvious colour-tracking errors; very light greys have a distinctly pinkish hue. Otherwise, we see very little hue shift in the Cinema HD Display's nicely linear progression from black to white. Our only other criticism is one that's common for LCDs: there's a fair amount of ghosting in high-contrast test screens; the display seems to have trouble switching from black to grey and back to black again without leaving reverse video trails.
But overall, the display looks stunning: colours are vibrant and warm, details are crisply rendered, and video looks quite smooth and free of noise (video playback looks even better when you hook the display up to a G5). Text also looks very sharp, with excellent contrast; the monitor does a great job reproducing pure, bright whites and dark blacks.
Service & support
Given that the Cinema HD Display is significantly more expensive than competing LCDs, we're disappointed with its skimpy one-year warranty. The industry standard for LCDs is three years -- appropriate for a piece of hardware this expensive.

MBB: Viking Men Receive Votes in Final NAIA PollMar. 25, 2013 12:03 PM | Author: Viking Sports Admin
After a 20 plus win season and the first ever NAIA Division II National Tournament berth, the Valley City State University Men's Basketball team finished the 2012-13 season one spot outside of the top 25 poll.
The Vikings received 42 votes for the final poll, placing them one spot out of the top 25, the highest team not ranked in the final poll of the season. After being ranked in the poll much of the season, the Vikings received an at large bid to their first ever NAIA Division II National Tournament. A first round loss to Indiana Southeast finished the Vikings season at 21-9. Valley City State will graduate five seniors from the 2012-13 squad. |

Northern Germany includes the states of Germany that border on the North and Baltic Seas. These states are popular tourist destinations for their beaches and gentle rolling, windswept hills. The Hanseatic city-states of Hamburg and Bremen are also rich in history and energy. Historically Protestant, the region shares much in common with the neighboring Netherlands and Denmark giving its cities a very cosmopolitan and modern flair. Hamburg is Germany's most wealthy city as well. The countryside is home to many a beautiful dairy farm and in certain rural areas one can still hear the Low German and Frisian languages being spoken.

Not to mention that they can finally update it. I was one of the lucky few who grabbed it while it was still in the App Store, but it has never been updated. It could just use a facelift and some bug fixes.
If you are jailbroken it is available in cydia. Great app
Was it free previously?
I can't remember paying for it.
Not big on reading ay?
I use VLC for everything. Great app
VLC was my go to app but now I use KMPlayer. I wonder if there's a iOS version? Gonna go check!
ive been using VLC since i was lucky enough to grab it from the app store when it was available, like hovikgas said, it could really use an update
I have previously tried to play .mkv files on an iPad2 using VLC & many other Media Player apps,
They were all quite choppy, none of them compare to the smoothness of 'AVPlayer HD'.
It's by far the best Media Player app avaliable.
(VLC wouldn't even play them at all)

Potential changes to Liberty Township's zoning map concerning agriculturally zoned property will be discussed a work session set for Tuesday.
The discussion is an extension of trustees' action last month that rezoned about 295 parcels of less than five acres each from agriculture to residential in and near the Hawthorne Hills subdivision.
Most of the parcels that were rezoned were located in subdivisions.
Township officials are now looking at all 1,619 agriculturally zoned parcels in the township. It is part of an effort to identify parcels in residential subdivisions that are zoned agriculture rather than residential.
"We're trying to right a wrong. Over the years, in trying to give more flexibility…we didn't make them (developers) rezone because residential (subdivisions) were allowed in agriculture districts,'' said Trustee Tom Farrell, a former member of the Liberty Township Zoning Commission.
"It was unnecessary paperwork to rezone the land, we never did it. We thought we were doing the right thing."
That decision is being rethought.
"What we're trying to do is get appropriate zoning based on how the property has developed,'' said Jonathan West, director of planning and zoning.
Of the 1,619 parcels zoned agriculture in Liberty Township, most – 1,027 – are less than an acre in size. Another 150 are 1 to 1.99 acre; and 194 are 2 to 4.99 acre. There are 248 parcels that are five acres or larger.
"We want to have a public discussion on all issues related to the A-1 zone,'' West said.
Maps will be prepared to show exactly how many parcels there are in each size category and where they are located.
This spring when the rezoning came up in response to a potential cell phone tower being built in the area, some residents were concerned they would no longer be able to farm or raise animals if their property was rezoned.
That's not the case, West said.
Agricultural use – including raising crops and keeping farm animals is based on the size of the parcel, not how it's zoned, West said. Agriculture use is permitted in all zoning districts, he added.
One of the ideas that will be discussed is establishment of a new residential district that would allow the same uses as those in the agricultural district – with one exception. Construction of cell phone towers would be a conditional – not allowed – use.
"It doesn't hurt anybody with (property) being zoned incorrectly,'' Farrell said. "(But) we want it zoned for the use it is. We want to make sure we do this while not taking away the rights of the land owners."
Trustees will begin the discussion with the community at 4:30 p.m., at the administration building, 6400 Princeton Road. The regular trustees' meeting follows at 6 p.m.

Nothing angers me more than ice rinks that don't (or worse, won't) turn the direction around once in a while during a public session. All the laziest people on the planet must be drawn to working in ice rinks.
You must get just as comfortable doing left-over-right crossovers (going clockwise around the rink) as right-over left (going counter-clockwise ... the default for most rinks). If your rink won't turn the direction around, then just go against the grain on your own every 20 minutes, and if the rink attendent complains that you're not going in the "right" direction: tell him to get on the PA system and switch it up or else **** off.

News Corp. launching Fox Sports 1 and 2?
The impending launch of Fox Sports 1 is one of the major stories in sports media. Despite months and months of reporting, hints, indications, rumors, speculation, and more, Fox has still yet to officially announce the launch of Fox Sports 1. It's popular knowledge that Fox will at some point rebrand Speed Channel (in over 80 million homes) as their new national all sports cable channel.
But the grand Fox Sports reshuffling may not end at just one national cable channel. It's behind a paywall, but SBJ indicates Fox will also rebrand Fuel TV (in 37 million homes) as Fox Sports 2 in August.

I would really appreciate it if LL would add page number links at the BOTTOM of each page in the category threads in the forum. When a person enters any of the Destination threads or General Travel Q & A or Tips for Using Luxury Link and so on, they have to scroll to the top of the page in order to access the link to move from one page to the next.

Only in China
Guest post by our roving China correspondent Suzuki Samurai
China announced last month it had commissioned a new aircraft carrier.
This is not that aircraft carrier. These are photos of a concrete aircraft carrier in a man-made lake in a city called Binzhou.
True story.
Legend has it the thing was built as a casino, but the hapless mug who did so forgot that there are no 'official' legal gambling establishments allowed in mainland China. So what is there is instead is a complete concrete carrier the size of a Charles de Gaulle class concrete block.
On the deck you can look down into the casino through glass panels; and see staircases, marbled banisters, and the shell of a massive ballroom. It defies belief when looking at it, and standing on it. It sits atop a man-made lake at the new western edge of town. Rumour has it that the chap who commissioned this thing is now at the bottom of the lake.
There is some commercial activity here though...a wee fella selling bottles of water.
Let no one call it malinvestment.

Will she ever learn?
A concerned citizen called police about a possible drunk driver. He followed the driver to a nearby gas station and waited for police. When an officer arrived, he pointed him inside the store where the possible drunk driver was.
She walked out of the store and according to the report, was unsteady on her feet. The officer made contact with the female driver and said he had received a report that she was swerving on the bridge. The woman offered no reason for this, the report said.
The officer then asked her if she had any physical problems and she said she did not. He asked her why, then did she have so much trouble walking through the gas station parking lot. She said she was tired, according to the report. The officer then asked her if she knew her ABC's. When she said yes, he told her to recite them from D to P. She could not do it on two tries.
She was then arrested for drunkeness in pubic and possession of a fake ID. Little did anyone know, not a week later, this same driver would crash into the side of the Shem Creek bridge.

A: A slightly murky red-brown color with a fluffy off-white head on top.
S: A heavily malty beer, as you might expect. There is a fair bit of toasty malt, which I don't expect from a quad, there was also a lack of fruitiness.
T: Some lightly roasted and toasted malts, a bit of caramel sweetness as well. The fruit quality is more in the way of yeast esters (ie. banana) and a hint of spiciness. None of the usual dark fruits.
M: A medium body, perhaps on the full side, with a full carbonation.
D: An easy to drink beer, but not really what I think of when I hear Quadrupel.

You don't pay for tutoring unless you find a good fit!
I have a great deal or experience teaching and tutoring students, ranging from kindergarten through college. I completed college level writing tutor training through the Columbia College Chicago Fiction Writing Program. In this program I worked one on one with students in the Fiction Writing Department towards creative and technical development in their writing and assignments, students received credit for this course. I have also spent the last 5 years coordinating and working in after school programs. I these programs I have worked extensively to develop the academic, social and artistic skills of elementary, middle and high school students. I am comfortable with students of all ages in English, reading and writing. I also excel in teaching all elementary and middle school subjects to students of any skill level, and have worked with students with learning differences.
Email Lillian
I have more then 5 years of experience teaching and tutoring elementary and middle school students in academic and creative subjects. I have also worked with a wide range of learning differences and disabilities, including students on the autism spectrum.

Further to the discussion about "Concorde to fly again ?" here is what I posted in that discussion. Just to get this debate ended once and for all, I am re-posting it here... is the message clear enough?????
From British Airways by way of BBC:
"British Airways is incredibly proud to have flown this marvellous aircraft for 27 years. The decision to retire Concorde in 2003 was not taken lightly but was due to a combination of commercial and technical reasons.
We have loaned our Concordes to various museums and collections around the world following the retirement of our fleet from service in November 2003.
We carry out maintenance audits of all of our Concordes around the world and are satisfied with their structural condition and how the respective new homes are looking after each of them.
There is a huge difference between keeping Concorde in an airworthy condition and maintaining them as ground based museum exhibits.
In the summer of 2003 before Concorde retired from commercial service we conducted a detailed study with Airbus which regrettably led us to conclude that it would not be feasible to keep a single Concorde flying on a ceremonial basis.
British Airways and Airbus know the aircraft's history in greater detail than anyone else and we firmly believe that the technical challenges of keeping a single Concorde airworthy are absolutely prohibitive.
Concorde is one of the most complex passenger aircraft ever built and has many specialist parts which are no longer available or technically supported.
Airbus has said on numerous occasions it is not possible to support British Airways, Air France or any other operator flying Concorde.
The aircraft no longer has a Certificate of Airworthiness which would enable it to fly in any capacity and without the manufacturer's support it is impossible for that certificate to be re-issued. "
Source: BBC
Let us end the dreaming and get on with life, If you want to dream read one of countless books by ex-Concorde crews or watch the thousands of videos and photos available.

The STUBS Toolchain and Utility Build Suite is a set of scripts which, together with a set of pre-written configuration files, builds one or more software packages in sequence. STUBS is designed to work in very minimal environments, including those without "make", and URLs are included so source and patches can be downloaded as necessary. Configuration files and scripts are provided which create boot media for Franki/Earlgrey Linux (one of several example busybox- and uClibc-based Linux environments) and the intention is that STUBS should be able to rebuild such an environment from within itself.
Gentoox is a 'port' of Gentoo Linux to the Xbox. It comes in Pro and Home flavors, where Pro is a Stage 3 bootable distribution with nothing else added (for developers and pros to customize themselves), and Home comes with many packages precompiled and installed, making it ideal for beginners or people who want their Linux to work straight out of the box. Installation time is minimal and totally fuss free.
Stem Desktop is a minimalistic Debian desktop for low-end hardware with limited memory (166Mhz / less than 64M). The goal is to find programs that have the smallest possible memory footprint. After installing *.deb packages on top of clean Debian, the desktop is ready to accept graphical logins.

Y-Chromosomal DNA Variation in Pakistan The American Journal of Human Genetics, Volume 70, Issue 5, 1 May 2002, Pages 1107-1124 Raheel Qamar, Qasim Ayub, Aisha Mohyuddin, Agnar Helgason, Kehkashan Mazhar, Atika Mansoor, Tatiana Zerjal, Chris Tyler-Smith and S. Qasim Mehdi Abstract Eighteen binary polymorphisms and 16 multiallelic, short-tandem-repeat (STR) loci from the nonrecombining portion of the human Y chromosome were typed in 718 male subjects belonging to 12 ethnic groups of Pakistan. These identified 11 stable haplogroups and 503 combination binary marker/STR haplotypes. Haplogroup frequencies were generally similar to those in neighboring geographical areas, and the Pakistani populations speaking a language isolate (the Burushos), a Dravidian language (the Brahui), or a Sino-Tibetan language (the Balti) resembled the Indo-European–speaking majority. Nevertheless, median-joining networks of haplotypes revealed considerable substructuring of Y variation within Pakistan, with many populations showing distinct clusters of haplotypes. These patterns can be accounted for by a common pool of Y lineages, with substantial isolation between populations and drift in the smaller ones. Few comparative genetic or historical data are available for most populations, but the results can be compared with oral traditions about origins. The Y data support the well-established origin of the Parsis in Iran, the suggested descent of the Hazaras from Genghis Khan's army, and the origin of the Negroid Makrani in Africa, but do not support traditions of Tibetan, Syrian, Greek, or Jewish origins for other populations.

Variation in Short Tandem Repeats Is Deeply Structured by Genetic Background on the Human Y Chromosome The American Journal of Human Genetics, Volume 65, Issue 6, 1 December 1999, Pages 1623-1638 Elena Bosch, Francesc Calafell, Fabrício R. Santos, Anna Pérez-Lezaun, David Comas, Noufissa Benchemsi, Chris Tyler-Smith and Jaume Bertranpetit Abstract Summary Eleven biallelic polymorphisms and seven short-tandem-repeat (STR) loci mapping on the nonrecombining portion of the human Y chromosome have been typed in men from northwestern Africa. Analysis of the biallelic markers, which represent probable unique events in human evolution, allowed us to characterize the stable backgrounds or haplogroups of Y chromosomes that prevail in this geographic region. Variation in the more rapidly mutating genetic markers (STRs) has been used both to estimate the time to the most recent common ancestor for STR variability within these stable backgrounds and to explore whether STR differentiation among haplogroups still retains information about their phylogeny. When analysis of molecular variance was used to study the apportionment of STR variation among both genetic backgrounds (i.e., those defined by haplogroups) and population backgrounds, we found STR variability to be clearly structured by haplogroups. More than 80% of the genetic variance was found among haplogroups, whereas only 3.72% of the genetic variation could be attributed to differences among populations—that is, genetic variability appears to be much more structured by lineage than by population. This was confirmed when two population samples from the Iberian Peninsula were added to the analysis. The deep structure of the genetic variation in old genealogical units (haplogroups) challenges a population-based perspective in the comprehension of human genome diversity. A population may be better understood as an association of lineages from a deep and population-independent gene genealogy, rather than as a complete evolutionary unit.

The Genetic Legacy of Religious Diversity and Intolerance: Paternal Lineages of Christians, Jews, and Muslims in the Iberian Peninsula The American Journal of Human Genetics, Volume 83, Issue 6, 12 December 2008, Pages 725-736 Susan M. Adams, Elena Bosch, Patricia L. Balaresque, Stéphane J. Ballereau, Andrew C. Lee, Eduardo Arroyo, Ana M. López-Parra, Mercedes Aler, Marina S. Gisbert Grifo, Maria Brion, Angel Carracedo, João Lavinha, Begoña Martínez-Jarreta, Lluis Quintana-Murci, Antònia Picornell, Misericordia Ramon, Karl Skorecki, Doron M. Behar, Francesc Calafell and Mark A. Jobling Abstract Most studies of European genetic diversity have focused on large-scale variation and interpretations based on events in prehistory, but migrations and invasions in historical times could also have had profound effects on the genetic landscape. The Iberian Peninsula provides a suitable region for examination of the demographic impact of such recent events, because its complex recent history has involved the long-term residence of two very different populations with distinct geographical origins and their own particular cultural and religious characteristics—North African Muslims and Sephardic Jews. To address this issue, we analyzed Y chromosome haplotypes, which provide the necessary phylogeographic resolution, in 1140 males from the Iberian Peninsula and Balearic Islands. Admixture analysis based on binary and Y-STR haplotypes indicates a high mean proportion of ancestry from North African (10.6%) and Sephardic Jewish (19.8%) sources. Despite alternative possible sources for lineages ascribed a Sephardic Jewish origin, these proportions attest to a high level of religious conversion (whether voluntary or enforced), driven by historical episodes of social and religious intolerance, that ultimately led to the integration of descendants. In agreement with the historical record, analysis of haplotype sharing and diversity within specific haplogroups suggests that the Sephardic Jewish component is the more ancient. The geographical distribution of North African ancestry in the peninsula does not reflect the initial colonization and subsequent withdrawal and is likely to result from later enforced population movement—more marked in some regions than in others—plus the effects of genetic drift.

The Phoenicians were the dominant traders in the Mediterranean Sea two thousand to three thousand years ago and expanded from their homeland in the Levant to establish colonies and trading posts throughout the Mediterranean, but then they disappeared from history. We wished to identify their male genetic traces in modern populations. Therefore, we chose Phoenician-influenced sites on the basis of well-documented historical records and collected new Y-chromosomal data from 1330 men from six such sites, as well as comparative data from the literature. We then developed an analytical strategy to distinguish between lineages specifically associated with the Phoenicians and those spread by geographically similar but historically distinct events, such as the Neolithic, Greek, and Jewish expansions. This involved comparing historically documented Phoenician sites with neighboring non-Phoenician sites for the identification of weak but systematic signatures shared by the Phoenician sites that could not readily be explained by chance or by other expansions. From these comparisons, we found that haplogroup J2, in general, and six Y-STR haplotypes, in particular, exhibited a Phoenician signature that contributed > 6% to the modern Phoenician-influenced populations examined. Our methodology can be applied to any historically documented expansion in which contact and noncontact sites can be identified.

Orlando Salido
Undefeated Mikey Garcia is back on January 19th, as he finally challenges for a world title by taking on the tough veteran Orlando Salido. Garcia has been hard at work, training with brother Robert Garcia. Right here, Robert speaks with Top Rank's Crystina Poncher about Mikey, his training, his previous experience and more.
Robert acknowledges that Mikey hasn't faced the same kind of competition that Salido has. They know it's going to be a tough fight, but they're prepared for it.
Mikey also speaks with Poncher, and he's excited for the opportunity, he feels as if he has earned this title challenge as opposed to other people, and that if he just does what he knows how to do, then he'll come out ahead and with that championship belt.
Enjoy the interviews with Mikey and Robert Garcia and keep on checking back with us over the next 10 days or so for more updates on Garcia vs. Salido and the entire Top Rank promoted HBO-televised event from MSG on the 19th.

Amy Wilentz: Farewell, Fred Voodoo: A Letter from Haiti
Produced by:
Farewell, Fred Voodoo: A Letter from Haiti (Simon & Schusster) is journalist Amy Wilentz's admiring and sober portrait of post-earthquake Haiti. All too aware of her own status as a foreigner, Wilentz is more interested in what it means for her to be an outsider than she is in fashioning herself a beneficent aid worker. As efforts to rebuild Haiti in the wake of the 2010 disaster are still underway, Wilentz talks about literary journalism, being a catastrophist, and the perils of good-hearted impulses.

Hi I looked through a lot of different themes on themeforest but can not find the right one. Maybe somebody out there can help me!
I need a wordpress theme with fullscreen background and transparent menu. The menus will have up to 9 sub categories and I do not want to cover a big part of the background with menu items. What would be perfect but not necessary if the menu (submenu) would go horizontal and not vertical like it is in most themes.
Thanks for any feedback!

Is it safe to drink herbal teas in pregnancy?
Denise Tiran
Midwife, lecturer and complementary therapist.
One or two cups a day should be fine. Replacing drinks such as coffee with herbal tea will also help you to reduce how much caffeine you drink. However, green tea contains some caffeine, so only have the occasional cup.
Try not to drink the same herbal tea every day. Herbal teas contain the same plant chemicals that are used in herbal medicines. So try different flavours, and give yourself a bit of variety.
As a general rule, teas made from fruit or herbs that are used in cooking are safe for you to drink while you're pregnant. However, you shouldn't drink sage tea or parsley tea in pregnancy.
Sage tea contains thujone, which has been linked to miscarriage and high blood pressure. Parsley tea may increase your risk of miscarriage and affect your baby's development, if you have it in large amounts. It's fine to use fresh or dried parsley and sage in moderation when cooking, though.
Go easy on some herbal teas. Valerian is used in many blends that claim to help you to sleep. However, some experts say it is best avoided in pregnancy. If you choose to drink it, stick to no more than one cup a day for no longer than six weeks at a time. As with any herbal tea, don't drink it continually throughout your pregnancy.
Valerian may also affect how well antidepressants work. So if you are having this type of treatment for depression, avoid drinking it.
Chamomile tea is often recommended for insomnia, anxiety, nausea and problems with digestion. If you're having trouble sleeping, a cup of chamomile tea before bedtime may relax you enough to sleep. However, if you drink too much, it may do the opposite and keep you awake.
Some experts have suggested that it's best not to drink chamomile tea very often when you're pregnant. Though very rare, there is a possible link between drinking lots of chamomile tea and circulation problems in babies. And bear in mind that if you have an allergy to some pollens you may be sensitive to chamomile.
Some mums-to-be drink raspberry leaf tea in late pregnancy (from 32 weeks) to help them to prepare for the birth. It's believed to help tone the muscles of your uterus (womb) ready for labour, though not all experts agree.
If you are overdue, you shouldn't drink a lot of raspberry leaf tea to bring on labour. Some midwives say that this can cause very strong contractions, which could make your baby distressed during labour.

I ordered these bowls for my upcoming wedding. We plan on using them for our ice cream bar. They are just the right size and are durable enough to hold more than just ice cream. Perfect size and plastic thickness. I was worried they would look cheap but they are great!
David P. Posted on 11/06/2012
We used these for mango sorbet, along with the mini silver-look tasting spoons. Looked great! We chose to go with the whole Flairware package for coordination. I would have liked more color options, but with a colored tablecloth the settings looked great.
Menachem H. Posted on 10/07/2012
This is an absolute must have if you plan on having desserts at an outdoor function or catering gig. They look fabulous, and ive never had a complaint about them. The price is right as well.

If Suno's spring show is a sign of anything, the revealed midriff is sticking around for another season. Seeing the way Max Osterweis and Erin Beatty have done it—with cropped top/skirt combos and one beautifully tailored cutout tank dress—that's just fine. For one, it can be a very flattering look on a woman, and for another, the two 2011/2012 Fashion Fund finalists don't claim to be trying to introduce anything completely groundbreaking at the moment. Yes, the offering has a look that's unmistakably theirs, honed over the past few seasons. But, as Beatty puts it, "there's nothing like a collection you just want to put on. Ultimately, that's the biggest achievement."
Achieve it they did, with pieces inspired by Irving Penn's images of Issey Miyake's creations (Suno's graphic tunics over matching wide-leg trousers). Osterweis and Beatty were equally fascinated, they say, with Laura Ingalls Wilder and the prairie. So there were also calico-esque prints and the occasional ruffle to create volume that feels fresh—done best on a washed denim skirt. A touch of the folkloric, somewhat of a signature for the label, was present in blue-and-white embroidery inspired by Polish handiwork. Stripes, ever present in recent collections, played a major role in the mixing and matching. And, lest we forget that Suno began as a line made out of vintage Kenyan textiles, there was a dress in a quirky cell phone print re-created and revived for this season. Aside from that, Osterweis and Beatty were definitely not just phoning it in.

Brothers Jimmy and Bobby Harsh retired from the Maryland State Police as flight paramedics. (By Yvette May, Staff Photographer / February 14, 2013) |
It's been 22 years since brothers Jimmy and Bobby Harsh joined the Maryland State Police, both earning awards and recognitions along the way. They celebrated their retirements with a joint party at the Potomac Fish and Game Club on Nov. 17.
"I probably have one of the best jobs in the world," Jimmy Harsh, 48, said.
"Without a doubt. It was an honor — to actually make a difference in people's lives," said Bobby Harsh, 45.
The brothers, along with their older brother, Dwayne Harsh, grew up with a father who volunteered with the Williamsport Ambulance Service in addition to farming a 300-acre farm.
Dwayne runs County Medical Transport, the private ambulance company their parents, Robert "Bob" and Shirley Harsh founded in 1982.
Initially, Jimmy didn't want anything to do with emergency medicine.
Their father "would drag us along to all those calls. He really had to twist my arm to get involved. I was bitter about the ambulance hall and fire hall taking him away so much," Jimmy said.
Jimmy got his CPR certification at age 15 and went on his first official ambulance call near Sharpsburg to assist with a small plane crash with one survivor.
"That was the day the bug bit me," Jimmy said.
The three Harsh brothers often accompanied their father on ambulance and Bobby was on that particular call as well.
Jimmy became an emergency medical technician at 16 and if there weren't enough volunteers available, he and another Williamsport High student would be excused from school to go on ambulance calls.
They would wait at the school's flagpole for the ambulance to pick them up. In 1982, Jimmy became a cardiac rescue technician and graduated from high school.
Bobby earned his CPR certification.
The two brothers' careers were similar, but different.
The brothers worked for County Medical Transport in Williamsport during and after high school.
In 1986, Jimmy took a job with Anne Arundel County Fire Department, followed two years later by Bobby.
They also volunteered and worked part-time with Community Rescue Service.
Both had long been interested in working for the Maryland State Police.
Bobby was accepted into the March 1990 class at the Maryland State Police Academy and Jimmy the July 1990 class.
Straight out of academy, Bobby completed field training and transferred into aviation command in Frederick, where he was for 19 years.

We measured linear cortical magnification factors in V1 with fMRI, and we measured visual acuity (Vernier and grating) in the same observers. The cortical representation of both Vernier and grating acuity thresholds in V1 was found to be roughly constant across all eccentricities. We also found a within-observer correlation between cortical magnification and Vernier acuity, further supporting claims that Vernier acuity is limited by cortical magnification in V1.
