...duo’s discoveries of a link between India and France in the 6th century. Calligaro and Perin said that by using a fusion of physics and history, they were able to determine that garnets with which a French queen was laid to rest had Indian origins. The garnets were set in cloisonne, and French garnets rarely are set that way. Perin traced its origins and Calligaro employed particle induced x-ray emission, or PIXE, a technique that accelerates particles, to discern the elements in the different garnets by their movement. Because garnets of different elements are found...
...evidence.” That much is obvious; I doubt that even the most ardent Darwin fan would dispute that claim. However, the fun begins a bit further on in the school board’s masterpiece of archaism: “Intelligent design is an explanation of the origin of life that differs from Darwin’s view...
...contain the virus by quarantining the sick and giving them - and those who've had recent contact with them - the antiviral drug oseltamivir (Tamiflu), which would probably offer some protection against the virus. "We would do everything in our power to contain the virus within the country of origin," says Horvath, "while at the same time upgrading our border responsiveness" to intercept infected travelers at Australian airports and docks. If containment measures failed and a virulent, highly infectious flu began spreading through Asia, the government could ban incoming flights from affected countries...

Rwandan beans are jumping these days: this year's crop sold out, with Green Mountain coffee, Whole Foods and other companies eagerly buying. "Rwanda has gone from being completely unknown to being the hottest coffee origin in 2005," says Schilling, who runs pearl in Rwanda. pearl had to solve farmers' financing issues, too; many can't wait six to nine months between harvest and payment. So pearl partnered with EcoLogic Finance, a Massachusetts-based nonprofit that loans to businesses in Africa and Latin America...
...FRANCO-CHINESE EXOTICS China is a newcomer to the wine world, and while much of its produce has yet to make par, there are three wonderfully unusual varietals that show promise?French Wild, Rose Honey and Crystal Dry. Old records show that missionaries originally brought these vines to China's Yunnan province from France some 200 years ago (an origin confirmed by DNA testing)?and it's believed that they may be extinct in the home country itself. So far, Chinese winemakers have obtained best results with French Wild (try it with salty hams, like Parma ham or pancetta), which...
