Dude. I'm no horticulturist, but as soon as some Jurassic potted plant goes on sale - I want one!



The species had been thought to have been extinct for at least two million years. The only known examples were fossils 175 million years old.

Professor Carrick Chambers, director of Sydney's Royal Botanic Gardens, said at the time of the discovery that it was "the equivalent of finding a small dinosaur still alive on Earth".

America's trade deficit is a bad thing, right?



Nope.

In Daniel T. Griswold's (no relation to Clarke W., I trust) article, America's Maligned and Misunderstood Trade Deficit he outlines a fairly comprehensive picture of the causes of trade deficits.

I should mention that it only seems "comprehensive" to me... I know next to nothing.

Clarke - I mean, Daniel, is associate director of the Cato Institute's Center for Trade Policy Studies. Apparently, that makes him a fairly reasonable source for information on trade deficits. At least, I think so.

A very interesting read - if you're interested in such things.
