There's just no concrete evidence of that happening yet - the March trade figures, released on Tuesday, showed exports declining faster than imports for the month. Over the somewhat longer term, the big question is whether the global economy can be rebalanced in a way so that the likes of China, Korea, Japan and Germany don't run such big trade surpluses and the U.S. doesn't run such big deficits.

...screen are familiar: advanced age and the presence of Alzheimer's genes (which are associated with the growth of fatty plaques and tangles in the brain that gum up neural connections), for example, have long been clearly linked to dementia. Even heart disease risk factors are somewhat expected, since recent studies show that the same conditions that boost the risk of heart attack, such as high cholesterol, hypertension and atherosclerosis, may also raise the risk of dementia; the theory is that whatever is causing fat deposits in heart vessels may also contribute to fat and protein deposits in the Alzheimer...

And with that, Stroup notes, “the pending dismissal was avoided, based on the objection of the defendants, not the prosecution.
