| Threading wins over clients at downtown Tempe salon
It may not be the only salon in downtown Tempe that relieves women of stray brows and smoothes upper lips, but the technique used at Jada Beauty distinguishes them from the crowd. Threading, an ancient method of hair removal that uses the precise twisting of a cotton thread to remove hair, is the process used at Jada, which opened last month at 350 S. Mill Ave., B201, at Hayden Square. Casa Grande native Alexis Smith owns the salon with her fiance Alex Nguyen and Nguyen's mother Oanh Phan, who founded the business and has practiced the Eastern technique for more than 20 years. .
Barack Obama faces uphill fight to win over Texas Hispanics
Obama spokesman Josh Earnest said those are the kind of divisions that Mr. Obama is showing he can overcome. "He ended up getting more white support in South Carolina than anyone thought he could. And in California and Georgia as well," Mr. Earnest said. He pointed out that Mr. Obama won the majority of Latinos in Illinois and 45 percent in Arizona last week. "The core of this campaign has been his talk about bringing this country together, and that's useful in preventing a lot of certain divisions that sometimes can crop up in Democratic primaries," Mr. Earnest said. To that end, the Obama campaign is reaching out to the Latino community. It has named political strategist Adrian Saenz – U.S. Rep. Ciro Rodriguez's chief of staff – its Texas campaign director.
McCain and Rove form a tentative alliance
We never had any ill will after the initial South Carolina thing. After we had the meeting with President Bush we moved on. I've seen Karl Rove many times when I've been over at the White House. We've always had pleasant conversations." A transcript of McCain's remarks is below, followed by the video of the event: QUESTION: Are there other signs you see that are encouraging to you... MCCAIN: Oh yeah. A lot of the fundraisers from other camps are coming on board. And yeah we're seeing that coming together really well. We're seeing it. [Inaudible] MCCAIN: Who? QUESTION: Karl Rove? MCCAIN: Oh I, listen, he ah. Nobody denies he's one of the smartest political minds in America. I'd be glad to get his advice.
Fit people a health system burden
So why do larger people often die young of a heart attack? I think this is a wee bit on the false or made up side. I know heaps of smokers who live longer than healthier people, larger people as well. I think it's peoples life styles as well as what they smoke or eat that then produces a earlier death.

Speaker's corner
Suspected drunk drivers in Britain are sometimes asked to try to say, without slurring: "The Leith Police dismisseth us". That was the Leith Police's only claim to fame until now. Now they are all over the internet after somebody leaked some e-mails between the Leith Police and an irate citizen. The correspondence began: Dear Sir/madam/automated telephone answering service. Having spent the past 20 minutes waiting for Leith Police Station to pick up a telephone, I have decided to try e-mailing. Perhaps you would be so kind as to pass this message on to your colleagues by means of smoke signal, carrier pigeon or ouji board. As I'm writing there are 11 failed medical experiments (I think you call them youths) in West Cromwell Street who seem happy to play a game which involves kicking a football against an iron gate with the force of a meteorite.
