China heralds year of the fluorescent green pig
POSTED: 10:04 a.m. EST, December 29, 2006
BEIJING, China (Reuters) -- Chinese scientists have successfully bred partially green fluorescent pigs which they hope will boost stem cell research, Xinhua news agency said.
A research team at the Northeast Agricultural University in Harbin managed to breed three transgenic pigs by injecting fluorescent green protein into embryonic pigs, Xinhua quoted Professor Liu Zhonghua as saying.
"The mouth, trotters and tongue of the pigs are green under ultraviolet light," said Liu.
Genetic material from jellyfish was injected into the womb of a sow which gave birth to the three pigs 114 days later in Harbin, he said.
China celebrates the start of the Year of the Pig in February. |

Bush urges Congress to sharply cut spending.
| Quote: |
WASHINGTON - President Bush said Wednesday he'll submit a five-year budget proposal that will balance the federal budget by 2012 and called on Congress to sharply cut back on costly pet projects hidden in spending bills.
"It's time to set aside politics and focus on the future," Bush said in the Rose Garden after a meeting with his Cabinet. |
"Pet project", obviously, is subject to interpretation.

Too bad 2012 is the year the world comes to an end.  We'll never see the budget balanced.

Momofuku Ando, Japanese inventor of instant noodles, dies at 96
Updated 1/6/2007 4:33 PM ET
TOKYO (AP) - Momofuku Ando, the Japanese inventor of instant noodles, has died, according to Nissin Food Products Co., the company he founded. He was 96.
Ando died of a heart attack on Friday, Nissin said in a statement posted Saturday on its corporate website.
He was born in Taiwan in 1910, when the island was under Japanese colonial rule. He moved to Japan in 1933, according to Japan's daily Mainichi newspaper.
Faced with food shortages in post World War II Japan, Ando developed the idea that a quality, convenient noodle product would help feed the masses. He founded Nissin in 1948.
In 1958, "Chicken Ramen," the first instant noodle product, was introduced after many trials. Following its success, the company continued to add innovative products, including "Cup Noodle" in 1971.
"The Momofuku Ando Instant Ramen Museum" opened in 1999 in Ikeda City in western Japan commemorating his inventions.
The company's products even went into space when Japanese astronaut Soichi Noguchi took instant noodles in a pouch called "Space Ram" on his 2005 mission on board the U.S. space shuttle Discovery.
Ando was a keen promoter of developing food for space travel, Nissin said.
Ando gave a 30-minute speech at the company's New Year ceremony and enjoyed Chicken Ramen for lunch with Nissin employees on Thursday before falling ill, Japan's largest daily Yomiuri said.
Ando is survived by his wife Masako, two sons and a daughter. |

The first thing I wondered when I read "heart attack" was if it was MSG related.

That's thrilling. I've noticed a lot of medical advances this year that are really exciting. It's great we're moving forward at such a pace.

Girls Gone Wild Launches Contemporary Apparel Collection
Wednesday January 24, 8:09 pm ET
SANTA MONICA, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Girls Gone Wild - the well-known entertainment empire, takes on a new direction - exceeding all expectations - launching the much anticipated contemporary apparel collection for men and women, which will make its debut at MAGIC in February 2007.
Not one to be shy, Founder Joe Francis begins his next venture, crossing over into the fashion scene. While most take years to develop an entire collection, Girls Gone Wild comes out with an impressive launch of sportswear, loungewear, intimate apparel and swimwear.
"The Girls Gone Wild's brand has become a celebrity and icon in its own right," says Francis. "The clothing collection is our next step for continuing the growth of the brand and the affinity with our fans; there's a little Girls Gone Wild in every woman and our clothing line helps them to express that."
The collection exudes a carefree attitude while maintaining a contemporary level of design, manufactured with the highest quality materials and workmanship. Francis has hired top celebrity stylist, Jennifer Mallini, to head up the design team and collaborate with licensees, partners, and Maury Winnick, a longtime industry veteran, to head the sales efforts. Together they have assembled an impressive team of talented individuals to design, manufacture and distribute what is sure to become trend setting apparel.
With a targeted distribution to "A" list boutiques and better department stores, the company sought after licensing agreements with experts in each category. For the swim collection they signed on fashion visionary Ashley Paige, famous for her hand-made knit bikinis, and BB Originals to produce loungewear and intimate apparel. The feel of the collection is to mix quality fabrics and detailed designs with edgy, youthful directional pieces. Retail price points for tops, $32 to $72; outerwear, $98 to $198; bottoms, $72 to $148.
Girls Gone Wild clothing is inspired by the same irreverence as the brand itself, capturing the essence of youth and the fun of being young!
Girls Gone Wild Apparel has a showroom in Los Angeles at the Gerry Building Suite 603. |

| There is trouble afoot in Second Life -- a virtual world in which Internet users act out parallel lives. The number of people visiting Second Life -- which is run by Linden Lab in San Francisco -- has jumped from 100,000 to 2 million in the last year. Real-world companies have rushed to set up virtual stores to tap into Second Life's popularity, sparking protests from long-time users. A group called the Second Life Liberation Army has detonated bombs outside virtual chain stores. "One day the elves were banging on their drums and making elf tunics," said Second Life participant Catherine Fitzpatrick, "and the next thing you know, Nissan comes in and starts giving away free cars."
