...Rifai has one last ace up the sleeve of his jellaba robes, however. Jordan has a special resonance for fans of T.E. Lawrence, the Welsh soldier who united the disparate Arab tribes to fight alongside the British against the Turks in World War I. Since his 1935 death in a motorcycle crash, the mythology surrounding Lawrence has cast him as the ultimate romantic adventurer. Counting on the draw of his legend to revive their flagging fortunes, the tourist authorities have inaugurated a series of Lawrence theme tours that follow in the footsteps of the man portrayed with equal measures...

The first song was standard 12-bar boogie: C, C, F, C, G-F, C. "Great Balls," written by ace '50s rock composer Otis Blackwell (of "Don't Be Cruel" and "Fever" fame) and Jack Hammer, is a declaration of lust so impatient it needs only eight bars, dropping the second and fourth C lines. It gets the job done in a majestically compressed 1min, 50sec...
...good news is, other treatments work quite well in combatting heart disease and osteoporosis. Several studies have shown the benefits of aspirin, beta-blockers and, for women at particularly high risk, ACE inhibitors to prevent blot clots and reduce high blood pressure. For women with a history of low bone density, biphosphonates (which reduce bone destruction) and raloxifene (Evista) can help ward off fractures...
