Vitzthum's work has long been at the crossroads of biology and culture, focusing on how human reproductive functioning has evolved in response to different environmental conditions.
"Until recently, it was assumed that women everywhere had similar reproductive biology," she said. "We now know that women vary tremendously, and these differences affect women's health."
One example is how high hormone levels increase the risk of breast cancer and other diseases. By studying the international patterns of hormone levels and how they relate to different environmental conditions, Vitzthum hopes to learn more about which women are at the greatest risks for these diseases. Doctors could then recommend extra monitoring or screening tests for those women.

In addition to the strong support for smoke-free workplace legislation, other findings of the survey include:
-- Voters said they would be more likely to visit restaurants and bars if the smoke-free law is enacted. While 32 percent said they would go out to bars and restaurants more often if all bars and restaurants in the state were smoke-free, just 6 percent said they would go out less. Sixty-one percent said they would not change how often they go out to bars and restaurants.
-- Voters recognize that exposure to secondhand smoke is harmful. More than eight out of 10 Virginia voters (85 percent) believe that exposure to secondhand smoke is harmful, with 64 percent of voters believing that it is a serious health hazard.
-- Voters feel all workers should be protected from secondhand smoke. Eighty-eight (88) percent of voters agree that all workers in the state should be protected from exposure to secondhand smoke in the workplace.
-- Voters place priority on the right of customers and workers to breathe clean air in restaurants and bars. Eighty-two percent of voters (including a 58 percent majority of smokers) believe that the right of customers and employees to breathe clean air in restaurants and bars is more important than the right of smokers to smoke in these places.
Virginia voters also feel that the state's hospitality establishments would be healthier and more enjoyable if they were smoke-free. Nearly nine out of 10 voters (87 percent) believe that these places would be healthier, and 86 percent want to be able to enjoy restaurants and bars in the state without smelling like smoke at the end of the evening.

5. Cause of 2010 Russian heat wave was largely predictable
From June to August 2010, a stable high-pressure air mass hung in the sky over western Russia. This episode of "atmospheric blocking" drove up temperatures, causing thousands of deaths and breaking temperature records across the country. Strong heat waves like the one in Russia increase their potential to do damage the longer they persist, putting added stress on populations susceptible to dehydration, reduced air quality, and other heat-related illnesses. Long durations of consistently high temperatures also increase the likelihood of drought-driven crop loss and wildfires, both of which devastated the Russian countryside and economy. In a retrospective analysis, Matsueda finds that the forecasting systems in place to monitor the atmospheric blocking over western Russia faltered, failing to predict the extended duration of the blocking as the record-breaking temperatures crept into early August.
Comparing the predictions of five medium-range ensemble forecasting models and the European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts' highest-resolution deterministic forecasting model, the author finds that the onset of the atmospheric blocking and resultant temperature increases, from early June to late July, was easily predicted by the models up to 9 days in advance. However, the extended blocking, stretching from 30 July to 9 August, and the peak temperature anomaly of 11.3C (30.3F), were not predicted, with the models underestimating both the magnitude and duration of the extreme event.
The heat wave, while largely predictable on short, weather-driven timescale

Tires squeal and a 15-horsepower engine hums as its driver cuts through a narrow turn, shaving fractions of a second off the lap. Below the track, a colorful golf ball winds through faux island trees, avoiding walls and stops on its way to an awaiting hole. It's another day at Tri-State Speedway, a multileveled family entertainment center littered with motorized fun for patrons of any age. The upstairs, 22,000-square-foot go-kart track hosts competitive races with karts calibrated for speeds of up to 25 miles per hour. A walk downstairs leads to the island-themed, 18-hole mini-golf course nestled among a large video-game arcade, bowling lanes, bumper cars, and billiard tables. When fun gives way to hunger, Drafters Sports Cafe's servers and cooks serve finger-friendly pub bites, ice-cold beer, and paper napkins fashioned from losing basketball brackets.

text: HomeHair TipsBest Deep Conditioner for Black Hair ThirstyRoots Hair Tips 6 Comments HairliciousInc Relaxed The best deep conditioner for black hair is more of an opinion but an article like this one can surely give you some good advice. No matter what texture, color (blonde or black), length or style you must be careful to take care of your hair in the most appropriate way. Good looking hair and healthy hair go hand and hand in my book. In order to achieve this goal you have to choose the best quality shampoos, conditioners, lotions or oils. A bad quality hair product can have undesirable effect upon the hair which can lead to breakage, splitting and thinning. Black hair or African American hair is exposed to such degradations more than any other hair type. HairGrowthNaturally Natural There are only a few easy steps to follow to obtain the best results. One of them and the first is that you must moisture your hair frequently. Black hair requires moisture and deep conditioning more than other types of hair. If it suffered numerous treatments like chemical relaxers or it has been exposed to heat appliances like flat irons or brutal dries the hair will need weekly deep conditioning. Not to imply that this will be a difficult thing to do. Just know that time will be involved for better results. You must only use an appropriate cream that has the quality to moisture the hair and help it remain healthy or to become healthy again. ***NOTE*** If your hair is badly damaged conditioning won't fix it but it will help prevent further damage. Another important step is to find the right Conditioner. Instant or Leave in Conditioners are the best for the black hair and they give it an instant shine. But one disadvantage of these types of conditioners is the fact that they seal the cuticles and coat the strand so much that moisture can't penetrate. So, it is advisable to use natural hair lotions. It has been said that every product you use is better to be 100% natural, so the results obtained are always one of the better. This is very debatable though. A conditioner must be absorbed into hair so that it can hydrate the threads of hair. In addition to that some conditioners contain amino acids and essential fatty acids and these two elements are very important for a healthy hair. They improve a lot the condition of the hair. Some also contain almond, coconut, olive, and a host of other hair shaft penetrating moisture rich oils. All these substances bring a contribution of vitamins and minerals. Herbal Essences Totally Twisted Conditioner is said to be one of the best conditioners for African American hair. There are many on the market that are expensive and some that don't cost much at all but remember… a cheap conditioner only has the feature of being cheap. It doesn't do anything more or less. Go with what you are comfortable with at the end of the day. 6 Responses Racquel July 6, 2010 Hi, I am African American…wid a teenee weenee bit of German..but nothing 2 talk about. I would like my hair to reach my bra strap.Is that possible? My hair is very think only at the roots. What can I do make my hair evenly thick eventhough it is relaxed hair? Reply linda mosley February 2, 2011 What is the best leave in conditioner and moisturizer for ethnic hair? what is a good deep conditioner? is honey mixed with a regular conditioner a good thing to do? Reply jean August 30, 2011 i can't find anyone or any site that can help me with my salt & pepper hair.my hair is 75% gray & 25% black.everything i read & see talks about people with black hair.i have read that you should use shampoo for gray hair to tone down the brass & keep the yellow out but i can't even find the best shampoo for my thin natural hair.i really need help with my hair.i also would like to know the best conditioner for my type of hair.i am a hair junkie and have tried EVERYTHING that come along.i am so tired of wasting my time and money on products that will not work for me.please help Reply A1semisweet October 25, 2011 Try Verifen Complex products at hairoil.com, not cheap. Builds up over time and has made a world of difference in my over-processed graying hair. I self perm with super. I know but I still like my hair to be straight. My hair is right above my shoulder blades. I also deep condition for 8 to 24 hours a least once a month. They have 2 different conditioners if your hair is real fine and soft use Moisture Emphasis Conditioner. If you have thick coarse hair use Advanced Conditioning Treatment. Found out the difference because my sister has fine soft hair and my conditioner was too heavy for her hair. I choose to invest in my hair becasue over the counter products leave me with dry, shedding and brittle hair. Reply Melissa May 17, 2012 The best conditioner I have ever used is Pro Naturals Moroccan Argan Oil Conditioner, the argan oil hydrates and strengthens my hair making it nice and healthy. Plus the extra shine is appreciated! Thanks for the informative article Reply Mary October 28, 2012 @Melissa I use that one too! It's a miracle worker I like their hair mask too. I can't seem to get my hands on their shampoo though, where did you buy it?? Online too? About the article, love it So informative, thank you!

Oklahoma tornadoes: Tornado turns Woodward residents' lives upside down
Reynolds wore coveralls Sunday morning that he was able to salvage from the house, which was destroyed by the tornado. His daughter, home from college for the weekend, was home alone when it hit but sheltered in a safe room and was unhurt.
A neighbor called Reynolds to ask about her before Reynolds made it back to his neighborhood.
"He said 'I'm going to go get her. Your house is gone,'" Reynolds said. "It makes you weak in the knees. You just don't know how to react to that."
Classes canceled
Woodward School District Superintendent Tim Merchant said classes will be canceled Monday because of damage in the area.
"We still have so many families without electricity, and a lot of the roads aren't open for our routes," he said.
Merchant said Highland Park Elementary School near Webster Avenue and 28 Street sustained minor damage to the roof. He said the main concern for staff will be attending to students' needs and providing counseling.
All schools will reopen Tuesday. Merchant said this upcoming Friday was originally scheduled for a professional day for staff only but will become a regular school day because of the storms.
Mobile homes
Some of the bleakest outcomes in Woodward had roots in the Hide-A-Way Mobile Home Park along 22nd Street north of Oklahoma Avenue. Two of the children killed by the tornado lived in the park, officials and neighbors said.
A pile of rubble with a destroyed sport utility vehicle and overturned car marked the home where the children lived, neighbors said. The storm plundered the park, ripping gaping holes in some homes, reducing others to piles of rubble, stripping a few away to leave only cinder blocks behind, and leaving some untouched.
Martina Mora, 43, was with her 2-year-old son in a mobile home next door when the tornado rampaged through the park. She grabbed him and hugged him tightly to her body.
"He's OK, thank God," she said in Spanish.
Theresa Pettet, 45, rocked gently Sunday morning as she sat on her porch recalling the storm. Her toddler son played next to her, and two puppies wrestled at his feet. Their home was mostly undamaged, and Pettet's eyes welled with tears as she considered her good fortune as compared to some of her neighbors.
Pettet's hands quivered while she recounted trying to get from her home to the park's storm shelter with her family. The storm was too violent for them to make it, yet it spared their house as it barged through only yards away.
"We had to sit right here and ride it out," Pettet said. "It's not but 50 feet. We couldn't get there."
Grim task
By dawn Sunday, emergency crews had already finished the grim task of counting Woodward's dead and started to administer care to the injured. Codes in fluorescent paint marked driveways, propped-up plywood and other surfaces in front of damaged and destroyed houses that had been searched for survivors and bodies.
Swarms of law officers, firefighters, utility crews and other officials combed Woodward through the morning. Heavy construction equipment cleared streets, and state troopers blocked off streets leading to damaged areas as they warded off rubber-neckers who drove by slowly on open portions of Oklahoma Avenue.
State of emergency
Gov. Mary Fallin declared a state of emergency Sunday afternoon for Woodward and 11 other counties affected by tornadoes, severe storms, straight line winds and flooding that began Friday.
Fallin took an aerial tour of the city of about 12,000 by helicopter Sunday afternoon. She said afterward that emergency responders in the area were "remarkable" in their response.
"It's been encouraging to me to be here in Woodward to see just the immediate response by so many great Oklahomans and just how people help their fellow neighbors, their families and it was such a shock, I think, to the community to have a second storm come through right after people had gone to bed and a little bit unexpected from that stance, so it's remarkable that we didn't have more loss of life," Fallin said during a news conference following the tour.
"We haven't seen any looting in this community. We've just seen people coming to help others and that's what makes Oklahoma very special is the great people that we have in our state," she said.
"We're going to do everything we can to get Woodward back on its feet," she said.
Woodward Mayor Roscoe Hill said during a live TV broadcast that many people joined in search-and-rescue efforts Sunday morning to help storm victims.
"It's really a devastating thing to our city," he said. "I think the main thing is all you can do is pray for us."
Overnight shelter
Twelve people stayed overnight at a shelter at the Living Word Fellowship Church, 1310 Oklahoma Ave., said Rusty Surette, spokesman for the American Red Cross of Central and Western Oklahoma. More people came to the shelter Sunday looking for assistance, and others came looking to help.
Dan Rister, 27, his family and his home survived the storm unscathed. The Hide-A-Way resident spent much of Sunday trying to help neighbors sift through clothes, dishes, pictures, shampoo bottles, toys, wood, bricks and everything else while marveling at the scale of destruction a stone's throw from his own house.
"Somebody's roof almost became my roof," Rister said.
American Red Cross crews and other relief workers patrolled affected neighborhoods, providing information, water and food to emergency workers and residents taking stock of what they had left.
Irma Sanchez, 43, clutched a crucifix and antique Bible on Sunday, pausing between sobs when carting what remained of her brother's possessions from a crumbling mobile home at Hide-A-Way.
She gestured at charring marks left on the Bible from a fire at a previous family home.
"It's always survived," she said.
Sheet metal wrapped around trees like gum wrappers Sunday in Woodward, and crushed cars caked with mud lined the streets next to splintered wood and rusty nails on the ground.
But Sanchez and others searched for what could be saved.
"We're just going to try to salvage the clothes and see what we can do to get his stuff out of here," she said.

The Senate approved the previously House-passed Taking Essential Steps for Testing Act (also known as the "TEST Act") this week, clearing the way for President Obama's signature and enactment. The legislation, which amends a provision of the Clinical Laboratory Improvement Amendments (CLIA), makes clear that the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) has the authority to impose intermediate sanctions instead of revoking the CLIA certificate of a laboratory that has referred a proficiency testing sample to another laboratory. The TEST Act was introduced by Rep. Michael Grimm (R-NY), and it quickly gained wide bipartisan support. According to the American Clinical Laboratory Association, "[t]he bill grants [CMS] much-needed discretion so that clinical laboratories will not have their CLIA certificates revoked for the unintentional referral of proficiency testing samples to other laboratories." The legislation also received support from the College of American Pathologists.

The John Carter director measures the true cost of success and reveals his passion for Edgar Rice Burroughs' source material.
Boasting screenplay and/or story credits on the Toy Story trilogy and having directed mainstream charmers Finding Nemo and WALL-E, director Andrew Stanton knows all about bringing home the big bucks. But is he about find out about life on the opposite side of success with his live-action debut, John Carter? Focus groups and Disney's obsessive tracking of their title along with public opinion in the run up to its theatrical release do not bode well.
Stanton, a friendly if understandably defensive fellow, met up with LWLies recently to bat away mega-budget criticism, discuss the much-discussed title change, his lifelong passion for the source material and why box office stats don't matter to him.
LWLies: John Carter has been talked up as a lifelong obsession for you. What is it about character and his adventures exactly?
Stanton: It's funny because it's like going on the psychiatrist's couch. When you're about 10 or 11 and you're starting to discover girls but they haven't discovered you and you're starting to find out about yourself, starting that journey defining yourself, to read a story about an ordinary person who finds himself in an extraordinary place and befriended by the coolest, noblest person in the world and the coolest pet and winning the heart of the most beautiful woman in the universe, it's like a checklist of all the things you hope will happen in your life. Burroughs wrote out of frustration and not liking what was out there in adventure stories and he perhaps naively tapped into something really mythic.
Hollywood blockbusters can appear not to care about giving audiences a well written story and rounded characters.
To be honest, it's a little less crass than that when people make movies. I've seen it happen even at Pixar when we catch ourselves… it's easy to get distracted by the spectacle and that instant gratification. You'll never see this complaint go away and you'll always hear people saying 'Hollywood has lost it' but the truth is they've always complained they've lost it. It's the human condition to get distracted by the spectacle.
Did you ever consider making John Carter as an animated feature?
No. The kind of myth people fall into is I make movies because they're animated. I didn't fall in love with cinema because of the costume: I fell in love with it because of the person. I fell into a group of people who best understood what stories would be better served with being told as computer-graphic animated. I wasn't dying to be a live-action director but I wanted to see this movie and the story on screen, as I imagined it. I didn't dream, as a kid, in cartoons.
Did it ever feel like you were taking a risk going into live-action?
Every movie I've made has felt like there was an element of risk to it.
So there's no feelings of fear and sense of pressure to deliver?
Exactly the same fear and pressure for any other movie I've worked on. For me, it's always been part of the package. I've never made a film that wasn't huge, big budget, had massive expectations. It's been part of the package and I've learned how to work with it and not let it scare me. I had to, just to be able to do my job.
The title change from John Carter of Mars to plain old John Carter seems to have got a lot of people talking. Was this your decision alone?
The title changed right away when we bought the property because the title was A Princess of Mars. We changed it to John Carter of Mars. I'm convinced if we left it as Princess of Mars then changed it to John Carter of Mars [in the marketing campaign] people would be like 'why did you change the title?' It's such a knee-jerk question that nobody really cares about. It seems a false misdirection.
You don't entirely abandon the title John Carter of Mars.
Hey, don't give that way! But yeah, I think it's more satisfying and shows how he earns the title.
So all the chatter on internet forums and such doesn't bother you?
You realise that stuff is all 12 year olds?
It doesn't get on your nerves and you don't pay any attention to it?
No. If I did I would never have made any of the decisions I did on any of my movies. I don't.
What about the box office expectations talk?
It is cheap, easy and lazy to make all the predictions you want in the world. What impresses me is somebody who goes out there and does it [make a film]. It's very safe to be anonymous online so I'm like 'it means nothing to me'. If you want to sit face-to-face in a room and talk about this then I'll have the debate.
The budget is another factor being talked about a lot.
There's no way you could make this movie and not be in the club of big budget filmmaking. There's no way! Is somebody hoping we don't make a movie that puts it all on the screen? Fine, I'll go and make a five million dollar film. All I hear is an editor trying to make a story out of nothing – that's all I hear. I've got to think an editor is smarter than that and not so weak-willed that he can't find a better story than that. I don't care if it is 15 million dollars or 500 million dollars, I'm always going to ask for what ever I can get to put what I think needs to be put on screen. So, in a weird way, a long time ago, I never asked what the budget was… you guys always ask about… it's too lazy and simple to say 'can't do it so we won't do it.' What I learned at Pixar was we're always going to do it – it's just how and when we're going to do it with the means we've got. There are no gains in worrying about how much money you've got.
Some blogs and sites seem to be obsessed with box office takings. There are sites devoted solely to such matters.
I know. Because it's cheap and lazy.
The film does look stunning and clearly attention has gone into the look and feel.
Every dollar is on the screen. It wasn't a business decision. I can't speak for the studio. I can speak for myself and I fought for the opportunity to do it and introduced Disney to this property. Anything that won't leave my brain for 30 years has got to have something about it. That tells you there's something worth pursuing.

You might have to do some research or ask questions here, to know what you want or what's possible, but that's not surprising. There are just too many products for everyone to keep track of, and you're not the mainstream customer.
The other alternative is to do work for yourself. That might not be a bad idea, anyway, at least enough for basic work.
Semantics OCD aside, I have 2 SON, 1_centerlock, [20"] and 1_6 bolt [26/700c].
work just fine, .. have for years.
centerlock on the pack-for-travel Bike Friday is perfect, take off the disc,
and pack separate from the wheel so it stays flat, when you remove the wheel.
I go to a great shop, and they know next to nothing about dynos. Most bike riders don't do much night riding and when they do they use battery lights. As misguided as that may seem, it's the way things work. I tried to talk them into tracking down the source of the low-cost dyno wheels that were around a few years ago, but they didn't think there was a market
even if they dont think ordering wheels ahead of time, to have on spec,
surely the distributors catalogs will have them available.
Ex: handspun is the wheelbuilding division of QBP, so have them ask ..
any QBP parts combination, I suspect.
FWIW, My step through bike is a Bike Friday..
It appears that some great deals can be had from Taylor Wheels......................
That wheel is nice because you can run it with rim brakes OR disc brakes ... use it now with rim brakes and then save it when you upgrade to a disc-compatible fork.
Personally, I think it's excellent value and you'd fetch almost $100 on the used market in the US if you want to discard it.
Compare the tabs to this fork that isn't disc compatible
Although taken from a different angle, you can see the tabs in the first picture and you can see that they are missing in the second. Even when taken from the drive side, the disc tabs are very prominent
You may be looking at the KHS Green DLX or KHS may have changed their specification for the fork to one like the Green DLX but the picture of the linked bike doesn't have disc tabs.
You can buy a disc dynamo hub and use it w/o the disc, until you replace the fork .
+ S-A drum brakes and the hub generator- combo can replace rim brakes, without changing the fork.
OP, I'm still not certain whether you're getting a dynamo, magneto, generator, or alternator. But it does look like you'll be getting some disc brakes. There are some hub brakes as tcs mentioned but I've not been impressed in two test rides and a bit of eavesdropping.
I suggest a single BB7 front mechanical disc. If you get the right one for the throw of your brake levers (I believe you want the BB7 Road model) then you don't need to change anything else, just the front wheel and maybe a new brake cable.
Forget about the back brake. The rim brakes are enough there, even in the wet. That will save you 50%+ on the cost (rear wheel and the second disc) and net you 99% of the stopping performance.
You could get a front wheel with a dynamo and a drum brake in the front hub. It would weigh more than a disk brake, but it would offer the same advantages. Drum brakes don't care about the weather.

Putting the Shatner "ego issue" from TOS to rest

It all adds up to the same thing for the lower tier cast: get over it.
Agreed. It was borderline insane to take what was in large part a fan invention of a completely united cast/happy family, then turn around and magnify Shatner's
into something negative for not fitting into that post-series invention.
...as mentioned a week ago, the lower tier cast conveniently spare Nimoy, who was bucking for an expanded role, more money, etc., which would not help give more screen time to the others, but reduce it, as the pie was primarily cut up between three actors. No word about that, but Nimoy was looking out for himself during the TOS production as much as Shatner. In fact, his high visibility in early merchandising (Spock was the only character to have his own model kit during the first run) insured he could argue for a bigger part/profit, and since Shatner was the series star and as crucial to its success as Nimoy, that meant the bitter bunch were not going to be elevated. Add guest stars--who serve the next vital component to weekly episodes, and the rest had to work with what was left.
Nimoy would not stand up for them until the TAS production intended to elminate the lower tier characters, but what was happening on the TOS set/production office was clear, yet they said nothing about it in their generations' worth of bitching.
Excellent post!

The White House criticized Russia on Friday for allowing National Security Agency leaker Edward Snowden to meet with human rights activists, calling it a "propaganda platform" for the man who seeks to avoid prosecution for leaking classified information about secret U.S. electronic surveillance programs.
A Russian lawmaker who was among the officials who met privately with Snowden in the transit zone of Sheremetyevo airport on Friday said Snowden wants asylum in Russia and is willing to stop sharing the secrets in his possession in exchange for such a deal.
White House spokesman Jay Carney said Russia should instead send Snowden back to the U.S. to face the felony charges that are pending against him.
"Providing a propaganda platform for Mr. Snowden runs counter to the Russian government's previous declarations of Russia's neutrality and that they have no control over his presence in the airport," Carney said. "It's also incompatible with Russian assurances that they do not want Mr. Snowden to further damage U.S. interests."
State Department spokeswoman Jen Psaki used similar language to express disappointment over the meeting.
"We are disappointed that Russian officials and agencies facilitated this meeting today by allowing these activists and representatives into the Moscow airport's transit zone to meet with Mr. Snowden despite the government's declarations of Russia's neutrality with respect to Mr. Snowden," Psaki said. "Our concern here is that he's been provided this opportunity to speak in a propaganda platform."
President Barack Obama was to speak with Russian President Vladimir Putin on Friday and Snowden was expected to be among the topics they discuss. Carney said the call was planned several days ago, suggesting it was unrelated to Snowden's meeting with the activists.
Carney said Snowden is not a human rights activist or a dissident. "He is accused of leaking classified information, has been charged with three felony counts and should be returned to the United States," the spokesman said.
Carney also urged the Russian government to "afford human rights organizations the ability to do their work in Russia throughout Russia, not just at the Moscow transit lounge."
Snowden is believed to have been staying at the airport transit zone since June 23, when he arrived by air from Hong Kong. He fled to Hong Kong from the U.S. before his revelations were made public. Snowden had been expected to transfer in Moscow to a Cuba-bound flight, but he did not get on the plane.
He made an initial bid for asylum in Russia, but Putin said Snowden would have to agree to stop leaking the classified information in his possession before asylum would be considered. Snowden then withdrew his bid.
It was not immediately clear whether Russia would take Snowden up on his latest request for asylum. The Kremlin has signaled that it wants him out of the country. Granting asylum could further test U.S.-Russia relations.
Venezuela, Bolivia and Nicaragua recently offered Snowden asylum.
At the State Department, Psaki denied that the U.S. ambassador to Russia, Michael McFaul, had telephoned a representative from Human Rights Watch. The anti-secrecy organization WikiLeaks, which has been assistingSnowden, said in a statement that McFaul called the Human Rights Watch representative on her way to the airport and asked her to relay a message to Snowden that he is not considered a whistle-blower and was wanted in the United States.
Psaki said a U.S. Embassy officer placed the call.

Local government debt poses a key risk for Chinese banks, Moody's said Wednesday, the latest warning amid growing jitters of financial risks in the world's second largest economy.
The rating agency said in a report that many local government financing vehicles have seen their cash flow stagnate or decline, while their debt levels have risen.
Among 388 city construction companies Moody's surveyed, only 53% of them have sufficient cash to cover estimated debt and interest payments in 2013 without resorting to borrowing more.
The National Audit Office said on June 10 that the debt of 36 local governments had risen 12.9% to 3.85 trillion yuan (US$628 billion) in the two years to the end of 2012.
"The direct exposures of Chinese banks to LGFVs remain significant despite the central government's recent efforts to limit the growth of LGFV borrowing," the report said, adding that LGFV exposures accounted for 14% of total Chinese bank loans at the end of 2012.
While many LGFVs depend on government support to fulfill their debt obligations, local governments are now facing more challenges to cushion possible defaults.
Chinese local governments' revenue growth is slowing down, which will constrain their support capacity. Also, restrictions on shadow banking and property development will also squeeze local government money pipelines, according to Moody's.
