Taiwan's AU Optronics has won the first-ever government clearance to set up an LCD factory in China, a company representative said, in a key boost to the long-term competitiveness of Taiwan's tech sector.
The island's Ministry of Economic Affairs gave AU the go-ahead on Friday – after nine months of deliberation – to invest $3bn on a factory near Shanghai that will produce 7.5-generation liquid crystal displays, said company publicity manager Freda Lee.
"We are the first Taiwanese company that has been allowed the go to mainland China to set up this kind of LCD factory," Ms Lee said in a telephone interview. "And now demand from Chinese television makers is on the rise."
AU supplies LCDs to Dell, Sony and Hewlett-Packard. It is in a race with other Asian LCD makers as demand for the parts increases among Chinese hardware makers. AU's South Korean rivals LG Display and Samsung Electronics won approval from China last month to set up plants.
"The significance is that LG and Samsung have their permits and Taiwan doesn't want to be left behind," said Sebastian Ho, a sector analyst with Yuanta Investment Consulting in Taipei. "If this field wants to see double-digit growth, especially in supplying television makers, the future is in China."
AU's China factory will open in 2012. It will not set production targets or determine the factory staff size until negotiating permits with Chinese officials, Ms Lee said.
Taiwan began allowing applications for LCD factories in China only from the start of the year after overcoming fears about allowing transferring technology to a political rival with a reputation for copying trade secrets from overseas.
AU's cross-town rival Chimei Innolux has not applied for a similar factory in China but is getting ready to put in a bid, analysts believe.
In exchange for the go-ahead, Taiwan's economic ministry asked AU to set up four new plants at home. It will spend T$400bn ($13.2bn) on two solar plants and two 11th generation LCD plants between 2012 and 2022, Ms Lee said.
Taiwan is aggressively trying to develop solar energy as an economic pillar. Officials also want big companies to expand locally to keep jobs onshore.

Background: The extent to which musculoskeletal injuries and sociodemographic factors impact long-term outcome remains unknown. The purpose of this study was to provide a prognostic analysis of the influence of musculoskeletal conditions, behavioral health diagnoses, and patient-based characteristics on outcomes among a longitudinal cohort.
Methods: This is a longitudinal observational study of the population of an Army brigade deployed to Iraq from 2006 to 2007. The 4087 soldiers who survived the deployment were followed for forty-eight months and were observed for the development of chronic musculoskeletal conditions, behavioral health disorders, and inability to remain in active service as indicated by the findings of the Physical Evaluation Board. The influence of demographic factors, behavioral health conditions, and deployment-related musculoskeletal injuries on the capacity to remain in the military was assessed using Poisson multivariate analysis and receiver operating characteristic curves.
Results: The mean age of the cohort was twenty-seven years (range, eighteen to fifty-two years). One hundred and sixty-three soldiers sustained combat-related musculoskeletal trauma, and 587 soldiers had musculoskeletal injuries not related to battle. Three hundred and seventy-four soldiers (9%) were found to be unfit by the Physical Evaluation Board, with 236 soldiers (63%) referred for at least one musculoskeletal condition. Of these 236 soldiers, 116 (49%) also had a behavioral health diagnosis. Multivariate regression analysis revealed that junior enlisted rank (incidence rate ratio, 9.7 [95% confidence interval, 3.1 to 30.3]), senior enlisted rank (incidence rate ratio, 5.6 [95% confidence interval, 1.8 to 17.7]), behavioral health diagnosis (incidence rate ratio, 7.4 [95% confidence interval, 5.6 to 9.6]), age of eighteen to twenty-three years (incidence rate ratio, 1.6 [95% confidence interval, 1.2 to 2.3]), and male sex (incidence rate ratio, 2.5 [95% confidence interval, 1.2 to 5.0]) were significant predictors of referral to the Physical Evaluation Board for a musculoskeletal condition. A prognostic model developed using receiver operating characteristic curves and the risk factors of musculoskeletal injury, presence of a psychiatric condition, and lower rank explained 78% (95% confidence interval, 77% to 80%) of the risk of being found unfit by the Physical Evaluation Board.
Conclusions: Musculoskeletal conditions, psychological diagnoses, and lower rank (socioeconomic status) were identified as potent predictors of inferior outcome in this study. Targeting at-risk patients within populations may improve results.

It's the first of what the small East Coast port hopes will be two new services coming to the gateway as ocean carriers and their alliances sort out port coverage this year.

In the United Kingdom, this was yet another summer where we had numerous reports about the false widow spider's appearance in the tabloid newspapers. Some of those reports went so far as to claim that the false widow spider poses a significant threat due to its venomous bite.
On the other hand, there is no reason to panic. We can safely assume that most of those tabloid reports are over-exaggerated. As of to date, no fatalities as a result of the spider's bite have been reported. So, how dangerous is the false widow spider really?
Most experts will agree that the bite of the false widow spider is not more dangerous as compared to the sting of a bee or wasp. In those few cases where people in the United Kingdom had been bitten, symptoms such as pain, redness or swelling had been reported. In some cases, people consulted a doctor due to infections as a result of the bite and had subsequently been treated with antibiotics.
If you come across a sensationalist article in the paper about the alleged dangerous false widow spider byte you should be cautious. Chances are that people who experienced more severe symptoms as a result from the byte already had some kind of pre-existing health condition. This is not any different as that some people may be allergic or overly sensitive to bee stings. If you are still concerned about the false widow spider, today you can obtain various means to deter the spider from your home and garden.
If you want to learn more about the false widow spider, where it came from and how it spreads into the United Kingdom I can recommend the NHM article at http://www.nhm.ac.uk/nature-online/life/insects-spiders/false-widow. There you can find all you need to know including information on false widow spider sightings in the UK.

Thanks to all of you who e-mailed. A nice showing for the Purple Cats.
Here's your guide to Manhattan, Kansas from the people who know it best.
Scott in Olathe, Kan., wrote: Thank you for posting my comments for the KU introduction, I felt I was very fair and balanced. Manhattan has been growing a lot and so changing, but some things just stay the same. Get to BSFS early to tailgate, possibly one of the best atmospheres for college football. After the game, you always have to go to Aggieville. Rusty's is a staple that you have to at least stop by if you're an alum. The great thing about Aggieville is there are bars for about any scene you want.O'Malley's for an Irish bar setting. Auntie Mae's for a nice gathering with live music (generally art folks). Kite's for the greek folks. Porters is great. So Long Saloon has some great food. Rock-a-Belly has great sandwiches. For one of the BEST Chicken fried steaks I've had is at The Texas Star. A lotta folks like The Hibatchi Hut too.
Jon in Manhattan wrote: Aggieville is definitely the place to be before ABS after the games. Food, shopping, bars, it's all there. A new place called Taco Luche just opened up and is excellent.
Nate in Manhattan wrote: If you are visiting Manhattan for the 1st time or 10th time and have not been to the Call Hall Dairy Bar on KSU's Campus, then you are missing out. Getting ice cream freshly made in the building on the north edge and then walking through campus is an awesome idea on a fall Saturday. Even if your team lost, this will help you feel a whole lot better afterwards.
Sam in Manhappiness wrote: As a student here and lifelong diehard, I can assure you Bill Snyder Family Stadium will provide one of the most electric atmospheres in Big 12 football.
My take: He's right. K-State is a wayyyy underrated atmosphere.
Powder in Prairie Village, Kan., wrote: Yo UbbEMAWn. Props on the blog.The real K-State experience is to come in off Coach Bill Snyder Highway, head straight Billy Snyder Family Stadium and tailgate in the lots. But here's a quick and dirty list on Aggieville food and drinks. So Long Saloon:Food - Raspberry Black Bean Dip and A Resist Temptation (Burger with fried egg bacon and cheese) Drink - Nancy (Old Milwaukee and Pineapple Juice) Coco Bolos: Food - Coco's Q (Queso that's out of this world) and Coco Bananas (bananas with brown sugar, cinnamon, pecans and flamed dark rum w/ ice cream) Drink - Sangria. Aggie Lounge aka The Lou: Food - Pickled Eggs Drink - Bush Light Tall Boy Auntie Mae's Parlor: Drink - Tarantula (Drink a couple of these and you're set for the day) Go Cats
Scott Grier in Tulsa, Okla., wrote: Can't take a trip to the little apple without stopping through Aggieville, but if you tire of all the collegiate shenanigans in "the ville" stop by Harry's Uptown. Harry's is, simply put, best restaurant in town and almost always plays host to visiting athletic department personnel, head coaches, visiting celebrities, and just about anyone else wanting an upscale dining experience in the middle of the Flint Hills. Nestled in the lobby of an old hotel, this restaurant constantly appears on top 10 lists of several Kansas City publications. Cheers!
Robby in Manhattan wrote: To those who may be blessed enough to come see the Cats play in the Fall, there are a few more things Manhappenin' has to offer than a legendary coach and a honey badger that will drive your defense crazy. Most definitely playing a round at Colbert needs to be on the list of things to do. The course has been consistently ranked in the top 5 of collegiate golf courses and also ranks in the top 20 of hardest golf courses in the nation. It may be a difficult place to play but the golf course is kept in pristine condition and the view of the flint hills is amazing. Now golfing is good and all but if it's an afternoon game you want to make sure you're at Bill Snyder Family Stadium a few hours early to start tailgating. After EMAW has done work, it's time to eat, Aggieville has alot of great restaurants to eat at, however So Long Saloon is at the top of my list of places to eat. Their "Resist Temptation" combines an egg with a hamburger and does the job right, also they have a pineapple beer called a "Nancy" that is amazing. After eating at So Long's Aggieville is a great place to spend the night. GO CATS!
Michael in Frisco, Colo., wrote: Just wanted to write you in regards to a place to eat in Manhattan. For Breakfast/Lunch, there is no place better than The Chef Cafe. Kirsten runs the place and will make sure everyone is taken care of. The food is phenomenal (Bananas Foster Pancakes are a must) and the service/atmosphere is even better. I'm sure a number of people will be recommending it, but I've moved to Colorado since my time in the Little Apple and The Chef maybe what I miss most.

BlackCats in Manhappiness wrote: Take Bill Snyder Highway to Bill Snyder Stadium. If you get there early enough, park DIRECTLY north of the stadium, otherwise you'll be stuck in a goat field (I'm not kidding). Tailgating at The Bill is about as enjoyable as it gets. If it is a noon game, hit Early Edition for breakfast. Evening games demand that you stop in Aggieville for either Taco Lucho/So Long Saloon or Hibachi Hut. After an early game head to the Ville to Kite's (#1 sports bar in the nation 2009) or Tubby's.
Nate in Kansas City wrote: All visitors should visit Auntie Mae's. It's a former speakeasy, so the bar is underground for the most part, with a shot station and pool table on the first floor. It feels like an underground saloon.
Brian McCandless in Manhattan wrote: There's no place on earth I love more than Bill Snyder Family Stadium on gameday. Get there early for some great tail-gating in a fantastic atmosphere in the parking lot right outside the stadium. Everyone is always willing to share. But don't spend too long out there, because you'd better get in for some pregame rituals. The Pride of Wildcat Land Kansas State University Marching Band and Willie pumping up the crowd are a real treat, and always send chills down your spine. After K-State gives you a heart attack by winning a close game, check out some quieter places outside of Aggieville - you can go there on a non-gameday if you want to actually get in anywhere. Places outside of Aggieville include Litte Apple Brewery or Ingredient (though it is Lawrence-owned). Above all, enjoy the K-State friendliness where everyone says "Welcome to K-State!" that'll make you feel right at home - and you'll never want to leave.
Connor in Manhattan wrote: Manhattan is a unique city to visit when following your team around the country. Aggieville is our bar district and it is a fantastic place to go after the game to celebrate, win or lose. Every student and fan goes to aggieville after the game making it a fun place to be and the oldest bar is Kites if you want to go the traditional route. If you're looking for a good place to eat then visit Little Apple Brewery which brews its own beer and has delicious prime rib each gameday! Come visit the Little Apple and have a fun time!
Zach Harmon in Manhattan wrote: You gotta check out the Chef Cafe on 4th street on Saturday morning before the game. Food TV ranked it the best breakfast spot in Kansas, and you know we know how to eat!

looking for fish for the top of the aquarium
I have a 20 gallon moderately planted tank. My ph is 7.5 and I keep the temp at 78. I currently have 5 neon tetras, 5 glow light tetras and a pair of bolivian rams. I'm looking for a fish that will stay at the top of the tank most of the time. Anyone have any suggestions? I was thinking maybe a female betta or two? Could I safely keep a male betta? I'm open for any suggestions. Thanks.

African Butterflies need a BIG tank. Hatchetfish need a school of 5. Female Betta need a school of 5 or 6. A fiesty male Betta would hold his own with the rest of your stock. A short-finned plakat type. But I wouldn't expect him to stay near the top. They're very curious and really like to get around.
How big are your Rams? How aggressive are they?

My rams are just under 2"s. They have a calm temperment most of the time. I've only seen them chase each other once or twice. 90% of the time they stay right by each other.

I tried a betta with glo-lights and they tore his fins up :(
What about a dwarf gourami?
Again, he'd patrol the whole of the tank, but they spend a lot of time near the surface.

Thanks everyone. I went with a pair of fire honey gouramis. They have really nice color and won't get over 2"s. I attached a pic. Don't mind one of my rams in the back round, they love to come up to the glass to visit any time I come near the tank. lol.

Despite an unprecedented increase in spam during 2003, email marketing is still an effective way to reach existing customers and contacts with a marketing message.
According to the 2003 DoubleClick Email Trend Report, legitimate marketers continue to get strong performance from email.
DoubleClick reports that on average, 88% of marketing emails are delivered to the intended recipients. About 37.2% of those who receive the message actually open it. And of those who open the email, 9.2% on average click through the links to the underlying marketing messages or offers.
These figures can vary significantly depending on the type of product/service being promoted. The following figures give an idea of how much the figures can vary based on the type of message and the product or service being pitched.
DoubleClick's figures are pretty reliable because DoubleClick is one of the oldest and most established of the online behavior tracking tools. They track statistics on billions of email messages. With so many messages being tracked, you get a comprehensive picture of online behavior.
Of course, email marketing is best for marketing to existing customers and contacts — those who already know your company. You can remind them about your company, and hopefully get them to purchase more from you.
Email is not, however, useful for trying to turn a complete stranger into a customer. Sending out millions of hilarious and absurd messages such as the one I received the other day (entitled "Anita, are you frying chickens?"), or sending out gibberish combinations of letters, numbers and words just to beat the spam filters — well, that's not marketing, that's a pestilance.Powered by Sidelines

From the November 1956 magazine.
. . .our Primary Purpose. . .
THERE IS A Fifth Tradition Group within our group. We think it helps to examine our group conscience every once in a while, especially that part of our conscience which could tell us whether or not we are properly performing our primary purpose.
You will remember that Tradition Five reads: "Each group has but one primary purpose. . .to carry its message to the alcoholic who still suffers." That seems to place a responsibility on a group, over and beyond the responsibility of the individual who might meet with or sponsor a suffering alcoholic. There have been at least a few occasions...

Sri Lanka showed off its military hardware during a victory parade yesterday to celebrate the first anniversary of the defeat of Tamil Tiger rebels, amid growing criticism over alleged rights abuses in the last phase of the quarter-century civil war.
The conflict that killed more than 80,000 ended last May. Artillery, tanks and multi-barrel rocket launchers were featured in the parade down Colombo's main thoroughfare, Galle Face. Thousands of troops, including disabled soldiers in wheelchairs, joined in. Warplanes and helicopters flew over Galle Face while navy gunships sailed along the coast.
President Mahinda Rajapaksa denied allegations that civilians were targeted during military operations and said offensives were carried out only to wipe out "terrorism".
"Not a single bullet was fired at civilians from your weapons," he said in his address to troops at the parade.

Lao Tzu once said, "A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step, and a book with a thousand pages begins with a foreword by Malcolm Gladwell." Advance toward epilogues with today's Groupon: for $15, you get $30 worth of books at a Real Bookstore in Fairview.
Bibliophiles can choose their own adventure as they peruse the aisles of a Real Bookstore, a 20,000-square-foot literary goldmine where the works of classic and contemporary authors commingle on shelves stacked high with hardcover and paperback treasures. The store's knowledgeable staff orients readers overwhelmed by the store's selection with personal recommendations, which range from Ernest Cline's genre-bending virtual-space opera, Ready Player One ($24/hardcover; $14/paperback), to signed first-edition copies of Amande Eyre Ward's sleep-assistance manual, Close Your Eyes ($25).
While young adults embark on the hilarious joyride of C.D. Payne's Youth in Revolt ($17.95), kids can frolic through a 2,000-square-foot children's section that hosts ample space for stories and activities. The children's area leads out to an indoor-outdoor café, which grills its panini sandwiches over kindling harvested from cooking books.
a Real Bookstore
Staffers personally select the titles that line the shelves of a Real Bookstore's 20,000-square-foot facility. Each tome is carefully culled from a stock of new arrivals, featured debuts, and signed copies from guest writers. Author visits commence in the cozy event area, where the wordsmiths entertain attendees with presentations, question-and-answer sessions, and book signings where they increase their work's value without dipping the pages in gold. At Fierce Words & Stiff Drinks events, authors interact less formally with readers over wine, artisan beers, and cocktails inspired by their books.
Youngsters enjoy their own events in the 2,000-square-foot children's section. Tuesday- and Wednesday-morning story times enthrall preschoolers with tales, crafts, and snacks, and Friday-night PajamaRama story hours invite kids for a bedtime version of the same. The store's Collage Bakery and Bar further caters to families with menu items made in-house, and adults can enjoy glasses of beer or wine at seating areas inside or outside the store.

Asia Dollar Bond Sales Jump Eightfold on Sinopec $5 Billion DealTanya Angerer and Rachel Evans
Bond sales in Asia are set for the busiest week in more than two months as the earnings season draws to a close.
Offerings in the region outside Japan jumped by almost eight times to $6.25 billion from the previous five business days, according to data compiled by Bloomberg. Indonesian real estate developer PT Lippo Karawaci is marketing a $150 million eight-year security at about 7.25 percent, according to a person familiar with the matter, who asked not to be identified because the details are private.
China Petrochemical Corp., parent of Asia's largest oil refiner and known as Sinopec Group, led issuances this week after raising $5 billion from the biggest offering of notes in the U.S. currency by an Asian issuer in more than a decade. Dollar borrowing costs in Asia fell to a four-week low of 5.06 percent on April 1, JPMorgan Chase & Co. data show.
"With earnings season now in the rear-view, that paves the way for a surge in supply from Asian corporates," said Mark Reade, a Hong Kong-based desk analyst at Mizuho Securities Asia Ltd. "Investors are hungry for non-China diversification and a broad range of issuers from the likes of India, Indonesia, Korea and Thailand look set to hit the market in coming weeks."
PT Pertamina Persero met with investors this week, while State Bank of India is planning a possible dollar bond sale.
Sinopec Group offered notes with three-, five- and 10-year maturities, matching the amount issued in November 2003 by Hutchison Whampoa Ltd., the Hong Kong conglomerate controlled by Li Ka-shing, Asia's richest man.
Default Risk
The cost of insuring Asian corporate and sovereign bonds from default has declined this week, according to traders of credit-default swaps.
The Markit iTraxx Asia index of 40 investment-grade borrowers outside Japan slid by 1.5 basis points to 124.5 basis points as of 8:30 a.m. in Hong Kong, according to Standard Chartered Plc prices. The benchmark is on track for its lowest close since April 2, when it touched a six-month low, and set to fall 3.7 basis points this week, according to data provider CMA.
The Markit iTraxx Australia index slipped 0.5 basis point to 98.5 as of 11:32 a.m. in Sydney, according to Australia & New Zealand Banking Group Ltd. prices. The gauge has fallen 2.3 basis points this week, the most since the week ending March 21, according to CMA, which is owned by McGraw-Hill Cos. and compiles prices quoted by dealers in the privately negotiated market.
Japan Risk
The Markit iTraxx Japan index declined 0.3 basis point to 83.3 basis points as of 9:34 a.m. in Tokyo, Citigroup Inc. prices show. The index is on track for its lowest close since April 2 after rising yesterday for the first time since March 20, CMA data show.
Credit-default swap indexes are benchmarks for insuring bonds against default and traders use them to speculate on credit quality. A drop signals improving perceptions of creditworthiness, while an increase suggests the opposite.
The swap contracts pay the buyer face value in exchange for the underlying securities if a borrower fails to meet its debt agreements.

The hammocks by the trees. The massage by the beach The audacity of the man selling scuba/ snorkeling at end of dock by hotel. He's not even diving certified and was charging more than a master diver as a middleman .
The staff was awesome and very friendly. They were very accommodating and made you feel at home. Had a coffee pot, fridge in room but no cups or glasses..
Stayed three nights with friends while in San pedro. Hotel is about a twenty minutes walk from town. Most of the staff were great, except one receptionist that was less than helpful. Breakfast comes with the room, which is scrambled eggs and sausage with fruit. Nothing fancy but it hits the spot and saves money. Rooms were decent. Beds were ok, not the best, but again, they did their job.
Nothing Horrible food,. No maintenance, totally overpriced. We were booked and.paid for 7 nights, but left after just one night
The staff is very friendly and helpful. The grounds are kept up nicely. The location is good. Far enough from the town, but easy enough to get to town. The pool and bar is on the premises. The views are good and they have an excursion office on site which makes it easy. The reef with use of their free kayaks make it easy to get to the reef and snorkel. It is a good value for the price, The units inside are showing its age and kitchen facilities are sometimes not complete or not working. The beds are somewhat comfortable, but need newer mattresses instead of a memory foam topper. There is no onsite restaurant, but many near by which helps.
We are here and have been here several days. We have muttled through most of the issues directly with hotel. However I learned today about the pool closure clause. Let me bring you up to speed and our new issues today. First day; 1. Pool closed for repairs. Offered to carry us back and forth to other hotel across town. 2. Forced to buy drinking water, as the water in room is not drinkable. Bought 5 gallons. Was delivered to room in five gallon jug with spicket. 3. Intermittent hot water. Either VERY hot or NOT hot at all. No water pressure. 4. Woke up first morning to all five gallons on floor. Spicket was not working correctly. Was replaced and cleaned up. 5. Zero water pressure. Finally I said something and they fixed. (My fault for not saying anything sooner). Filter on faucet was clogged. 6. Bought food to make breakfast. Made breakfast second day.

Service from the friendly and courteous bellman to the front offcie staff and the maids was excellent!
First time staying here. Had to change rooms a/c not working. Stayed on the ground floor a bit loud at times. Very helpful and courteous staff. Free Wifi was a great help.
This hotel is well situated if you are looking to be close to everything in San Pedro without giving up a pool or air conditioning. The service was professional, and the facilities were well maintained. It is a great place for divers who want to be close to their launching site or groups of friends who want to be near it all. Not sure it is great for young families. The air conditioning and pool are amenities not found in many hotels in town so take advantage. The refrigerator is large if you need to store your water, beer, and Rum. Bring your own coffee, filters, sugar, and dish sponge from home. If you need comfort food from home (Mac-N-Cheese, pancakes, etc.) bring them with you. The room key is an actual key, so don't lose it. If you are thinking your night out may result in your inability to remember where you kept your key, have them held for you until you return. Mojitos is the hotel bar and a good find for Sunday barbecue. Stick to the drink specials on other days. If you are u...
Just came back from San Pedro, BElize and stayed in the Sunbreeze Hotel and Suites. It is very nice and the people are so accomodating. The pool is kind of small but still wonderful. I would definitely go back. It was very clean and the bed and pillows were so comfortable. We had a great view of the pool plus the ocean. They have a nice little restaurant right at the pool - very convenient. There's a lot of activity on this part of the island. Lots of dive shops and the town is in walking distance (don't need a golf cart here which would save money). My family really enjoyed it.
This hotel is just FANTASTIC! The destination is also awesome! I went to this hotel for a diving trip and I found just so much things to do, I went to see the Mayan ruins (which was the first time I did that), went to the fantastic forest, the Rain Forest and the local famous Belize Zoo. It is incredible the species of animals that I had never seen. Anyway I highly recommend this destination for your vacation... ohhh and try the cocktails on the Grill... delicious!!!
My husband and I love to travel so we were excited about visiting Belize for the first time. If we would have bought our airfare separately we basicically stayed for free at the hotel, so I am not too disappointed. The town and shopping are great but if you are a beach lover like me, you will be unhappy. San Pedro is a fishing town. There is some sand but no ocean to speak of- I did not see one person enter the water and it was warm enough. The hotel was O.K. except the bed was absolutely miserable. We took turns sleeping on the couch every night. I also did not like the mandatory cleaning of the rooms daily. It became disturbing and even though we spoke to the front desk they said there was nothing they could do about it. If we ever go back we would probably stay somewhere else.

In her recently updated novel, Sharon Phennah yanks the realities of our aging society out of the closet, creating a positive blueprint for growing older.
This is a refreshing tale of three friends reunited in their new world of retirement, wrinkles, and grandchildren. Unlike what you'd expect from a story about older folks, the tone is spicy, sexy, and sassy! Additionally, the musings of the women's anthropomorphized animal companions definitely deserves front-page billing.
The story begins when, despite fears about media coverage of their descending derrieres, the women stage a 1960s roof-top "sit-in" designed to stave off the destruction of the local historic five-and-dime store. These concerns are soon overshadowed by real-world consequences of this action.
Undaunted, the trio carry on through an unwanted trial, a natural disaster, the death of a parent, and a younger woman friend's romantic tribulations. Combined with the "racier" considerations of aging, these events create a memorable year for the three friends. A Greek chorus of critics, alter-egos, and plain curmudgeons, their canine and feline companions share their interior universe and parallel lives as they help the women contend with these powerful outside forces.
It's hard to pick which event is the show-stopper in this story—there are tenderly broached high- stress topics of domestic violence, molestation, and other social injustices—but the novel doesn't surrender the beauty, charm, good will, and humor within its characters, human and animal alike.
Resembling Joan Medlicott's "Ladies of Covington" and having the attitude and tone of Janet Evanovich's "Stephanie Plum," You Can't Iron A Wrinkled Birthday Suit offers a humorous and uplifting alternative to stereotypic notions about The Golden Years.

Alex Pettyfer Nearly Misses Premiere After Small House Fire
Alex Pettyfer's career is on fire -- and apparently, so is his home!
Shortly before Dianna Agron's volatile ex was scheduled to attend Beastly's L.A. premiere Thursday, a rep told UsMagazine.com the 20-year-old Brit may not show up "due to a small house fire."
PHOTOS: Biggest Hollywood splits
Fortunately, the small garage blaze was "contained" and Pettyfer swung by the red carpet after all; he spent a short time signing autographs for fans before heading inside.
According to CBS, 27 LAFD firefighters got the fire under control in 24 minutes; they received aid from the Beverly Hills fire department.
Pettyfer's leading lady, Vanessa Hudgens, told UsMagazine.com she was kept in the dark about her costar's last-minute emergency.
"It's been a very crazy time for me recently so we haven't really had a chance to catch up," the 22-year-old starlet said, adding that Pettyfer was a good sport on set.
PHOTOS: More red carpet newcomers
"I really applaud the fact that he sat through hair and make-up for five and a half hours a day," Hudgens told Us.

MRI shows no serious injury to Bynum's knee
This has been a season of revelations for Andrew Bynum, and now it is a season of relief, too.
An MRI exam of Bynum's right knee Wednesday showed no serious damage, and the Lakers project their starting center to be ready for the playoff opener -- likely Sunday, against New Orleans, Memphis or Portland. There is a bone bruise from Bynum hyperextending his knee Tuesday night, but it's not severe enough for the club to expect him to be sidelined besides the regular-season finale Wednesday night in Sacramento.
Lakers coach Phil Jackson had feared a bone bruise might cost Bynum "a couple games" even if the knee proved sound, but the Lakers have an even better scenario than that. The scare and subsequent relief can now work in the Lakers' favor, as I wrote in my column Tuesday night, with the Lakers better valuing the golden opportunity in front of them for a third consecutive NBA championship.

Reiki For All Animals
Reiki, Relaxation Massage, Wellbeing
I received a phone call from Layla's owner explaining what happened to Layla and wanted to help her beloved pet more than just the vet. The vet had prescribed pain killer to help Layla feel more comfortable while the injury was healing. Layla's owner was telling me that her poor pet was not sleeping well at night at all, listless, just not a happy girl.
I went to see Layla, while the pain killers were doing its job, Layla looked so sad. I did a reiki and a gentle massage session on her. About half way through, I could see that she had totally relaxed and the tension in her face was gone. She actually drifted off to sleep.
As I went to leave, Layla was wagging her tail, which she hadn't done for a couple of days. Layla's owner rang me the next day and said that her puppy had slept the whole night through, if fact she even snored. Layla was walking around easier and seemed a lot happier.
I did a couple more sessions on her, and Layla is back to her normal self. The vet was very happy as the reiki helped her.
Because Layla's inner energy force was back in balance, her body was able to heal quicker.

Delivery was top notch! Couldn't have been better, I was constantly informed and the customer service are quick to reply, knowledgeable and friendly (even during the Christmas period!) As for the product it arrived exactly as pictured! Dark blue die cast metal structure with a black plastic handle. Its built very well and is a good weight, the loading mechanism is very strong, sturdy and easy to use and the trigger requires a medium amount of strength so the gun isn't gong to shoot without you wanting it to (good so as not to waste caps) like some other rather trigger happy cap guns, equally it's not hard to pull either. Overall there isn't much to say, it's a very good quality cap gun, fab especially considering the price. :D

I am not into Irises yet, but I make a similar tag for my daylilies. Mine is made from galvanized wire which I buy in a large roll, and cut up mini blinds (aluminum). I print the cultivar data with my laser printer on clear address labels, and stick it on the tags. They last a very long time and are very readable. Picture enclosed

Name: Ron Crystal
Institution: New York Presbyterian Hospital
Field: gene therapy
Ron Crystal is an American pulmonary specialist, an expert in the lungs and heart, which is one of the reasons that he likes to break off from work to exercise - he knows it's good for him. It was while running one afternoon that he had a crucial idea about using a genetically modified cold virus to carry genes into the damaged organs of his patients.
On the day of the run in April 1989, Dr Crystal had received a call from a medical research team in France with whom he had been collaborating on lung diseases. They told him they'd adapted an adenovirus - a cold virus - to include a gene which prompted the production of a naturally occurring protein (Alpha 1 antitrypsin).
'They said they didn't know what to do with the virus,' said Crystal. 'I told them, let me think about it and I'll get back to you. Then I went running and suddenly got this idea. I said to myself, gee, adenoviruses are the cause of the common cold. That means they must like the cells which line the airways. Why don't we use the cold virus to cure cystic fibrosis?' He ran back to the lab to tell his colleagues, and over the next few days made arrangements for one of his team to travel to France to learn the techniques involved in modifying the cold virus. The bigger problem was that no one had yet identified the gene which causes cystic fibrosis, which meant that the virus could not be loaded with any new instructions for the lungs. Crystal knew he had to launch a search for the gene, a process which at that time might have taken years. But first he decided to see if any other researchers were pursuing the gene. Eventually he approached Francis Collins, a famous geneticist who now leads the Human Genome Project.
'I talked to Francis and figured that he was holding something back from me. I realised that he'd got the gene but wasn't telling me,' Crystal said, glancing out of the window of the Starr Building in New York Presbyterian Hospital.
He was right about Collins. Within a few months, Collins's team announced that they'd found the gene, which enabled Crystal and his colleagues to begin work to modify the virus so that it could carry instructions to the lung tissues of cystic fibrosis sufferers. Several years passed, which were to prove exciting but also rather frustrating. Crystal's original hope of finding a cure for cystic fibrosis did not work out. They found that gene therapy could only relieve sufferers for three or four days at a time because of what is called low gene expression.
It wasn't the idea that was at fault because the virus turned out to be the perfect vehicle. 'We had this robust gene transfer system, and we began to ask what else could we use this for? How could we help people? It became obvious to me that we had a reasonable chance of rebuilding blood vessels, so we started thinking of the heart and peripheral vascular disease,' he said.
Crystal experimented with the idea by injecting a gene into a pig's heart and observed new blood vessels being formed. Tests on humans followed in December 1997, by which time he was working closely with the Todd Rosengart, a cardiologist at the Presbyterian Hospital. The first 15 patients received the gene therapy while also undergoing conventional bypass surgery. A further 10 patients have now received gene therapy in a minor operation that involves tiny holes being bored in the chest through which a syringe and video camera are passed. It is, of course, much less traumatic for the patient and it is hoped that this amazingly ingenious operation will eventually replace a lot of open heart surgery.
The interesting thing about Crystal's progress over the last decade is that he had the right idea for the wrong illness. The notion of using a cold virus which would taxi in genes then be rejected by the immune system is neat. It's best application has been to persuade an old heart to think young and create the blood vessels. But a great panorama of possibilities opens up. And as the analytical work is done on the human genome, more and more ideas will occur to men like Crystal. The protocol may yet prove to be a new line of attack on cancer.
