...While raucous nightlife isn't Tainan's big lure, you'll see religion practiced on a scale that easily outpaces the capital. More than 200 temples-Taoist, Buddhist, Confucian-are tucked into lanes and alleys amid the high-rises, each offering its own brand of salvation. Pray for fair judgment in the afterlife at the City God Temple, where two giant abacuses tally good deeds versus bad, or plead for high exam scores at the Confucius Temple, the island's oldest. Festivals celebrating temple gods' birthdays are several-day affairs here, their likenesses paraded through the streets on palanquins, urged...
...partnership between Martha Stewart Living Omnimedia and the sewing machine company SVP Worldwide, which Stewart announced on April 3 in New York City. Stewart will endorse SVP's Singer, Husqvarna Viking and Pfaff lines of sewing machines--the first time she has endorsed a product without the Martha brand. Why is she flogging another company's goods? "I learned to sew on a Singer machine," she says, adding that she still has a 1901 Singer in working condition.

Because of this variability, as well as the efficacy of the vaccine and the seriousness of the diseases it protects against, UHS should treat Gardasil as it does many name-brand pharmaceuticals and subsidize costs so that students pay only a $30 co-pay per shot. Other institutions have recognized the benefit of subsidizing Gardasil. Massachusetts governor Deval Patrick’s budget for 2008 increases the state’s universal immunization program by $24.8 million; a good portion...
...film and music business, the claim that there has been progress is simply a joke. Ask Zhou, or any of the other street vendors in Shanghai, Beijing or anywhere else in China. "Competition has never been tougher," Li Haihua told me as he did a brisk business selling brand new American-made films for five RMB apiece (the equivalent of about 60 cents) on Huaihai Street in central Shanghai, not five minutes from one of the big anti-piracy billboards. He cast his eyes up and down the street. "There are more [sellers] than ever before, and the price...
