Analysis of Micro Enterprise Clusters in Developing Countries: A Case Study of Toluca, Mexico.
Date: August 2011
Creator: Drauschke, Kristin
Description: Businesses cluster to achieve agglomeration benefits. However, research in developing countries suggests that the economic environment limits small business' propensity to benefit from agglomerations. The study examines the location, networking patterns, formal structures and owner characteristics of 1256 micro businesses from ten industries and thirteen sample areas in Toluca, Mexico. First, the thesis analyses whether clustering has a positive impact on the success rates of the surveyed enterprises, e.g. higher sales per employee. On an industry scale only Retail benefits from agglomerations economies. However, results of the neighborhood data show that specific areas benefit from urbanization economies. Overall, the study finds that businesses located within agglomerations, have higher levels of formalization, networking and professional training, hence constituting a more sophisticated base for economic development. Conclusions can be drawn for development policies and programs, arguing for a more differentiated approach of small business development depending on business location and cluster characteristics.

Biodiversity of Dragonflies and Damselflies (Odonata) of the South-Central Nearctic and Adjacent Neotropical Biotic Provinces
Date: May 1999
Creator: Abbott, John C.
Description: The south-central United States serves as an important biogeographical link and dispersal corridor between Nearctic and Neotropical elements of western hemisphere odonate faunas. Its species are reasonably well known because of substantial collections, but there has been no concerted effort to document the extent of biodiversity and possible geographic affinities of dragonflies and damselflies of this region. The recent discoveries of Argia leonorae Garrison, Gomphus gonzalezi Dunkle and Erpetogomphus heterodon Garrison from southern and western Texas and northern Mexico suggest that Odonata species remain to be discovered in this area, particularly from far south Texas and northern Mexico. I have documented a total of 12,515 records of Odonata found in 408 counties within the south-central U.S. A total of 73 species of damselflies and 160 species of dragonflies was revealed in the region. The 233 (197 in Texas) Odonata species are distributed among 10 families and 66 genera. Illustrated family, generic, and species-level keys are provided. Since the beginning of this work in the Fall of 1993, one species has been added each to the Louisiana and Oklahoma faunas, and 12 species have been added, previously unreported from Texas, including four new to the U.S. The area of highest Odonata ...

A Mexican Postmodernist Vision Grounded on Structuralism: The Cases of Juan Trigos' Cuarteto Da Do (1988) and Victor Rasgado's Rayo Nocturnal (1989)
Date: May 1999
Creator: Madrid-González, Alejandro L. (Alejandro Luis)
Description: This thesis contributes analyses of two works by Mexican composers: Rayo nocturnal (1989) by Victor Rasgado (b. 1959), and the Cuarteto da do (1988) by Juan Trigos (b. 1965). Although composed according to structuralist principles, a postmodern interpretation is offered. The analytical method applied is based on Allen Forte's set theory, including rhythmic and timbral dimensions that are integral to the conceptions of these works. A survey of modernism and postmodernism in twentieth-century Mexico serves to place these works in their cultural context.

The Influence of Interorganizational Trust, Individualism and Collectivism, and Superordinate Goal of JIT/TQM on Interorganizational Cooperation: An Exploratory Analysis of Institutions in Mexico
Date: December 1998
Creator: Glaser-Segura, Daniel A. (Daniel Armand)
Description: Since their introduction to the United States from Japan in the 1980s, inter-organizational cooperation practices between buyers and suppliers have provided lower costs, shorter development and production cycles, and higher levels of quality and productivity. Many studies of interorganizational cooperation have relied on transaction cost economicsframeworks,which ignore cultural differences. Few studies have analyzed inter-organizational cooperation in Mexico, a less-developed country (LDC) with a cultural and industrial environment differentfromthe U.S. This study is concerned with the influence of interorganizational trust, individualism and collectivism (indcol), and the superordinate goal ofjust-in-time/total quality management (JIT/TQM) on inter-organizational cooperation.

Distribution of a Novel Gram Negative, Capsule-Forming Bacterium
Date: December 1997
Creator: Hughes, Roxana Bejarano
Description: A novel Gram negative, capsule-forming bacterium was previously isolated in Dr. G. Roland Vela's laboratory. The distribution of this bacterium in soils from various locations was investigated. Soil samples from 188 locations around the world were examined. Isolates of the bacterium were obtained from 50 of these soils, with 48 of the isolates found in soils from the southwestern United States and northern Mexico. This suggests that this region is the natural habitat of the bacterium. The other two isolates were obtained from Madrid, Spain and Taipei, Taiwan. None were found in soils from South America or Australia. A lack of variation in morphology and physiological properties in the isolates suggests that a homogeneous population exists, even from widespread geographical locations.

Hojas Volantes: José Guadalupe Posada, the Corrido, and the Mexican Revolution
Date: August 1996
Creator: Mock, Melody
Description: This thesis examines the imagery of Jose Guadalupe Posada in the context of the Mexican Revolution with particular reference to the corrido as a major manifestation of Mexican culture. Particular emphasis is given to three corridos: "La Cucaracha," "La Valentina," and "La Adelita." An investigation of Posada's background, style, and technique places him in the tradition of Mexican art. Using examples of works by Posada which illustrate Mexico's history, culture, and politics, this thesis puts Posada into the climate of the Porfiriato and Revolutionary Mexico. After a brief introduction to the corrido, a stylistic analysis of each image, research into the background of the song and subject matter, and comments on the music draw together the concepts of image, music, and text.

Cultural Differences in Pain Experience and Behavior among Mexican, Mexican American and Anglo American Headache Pain Sufferers
Date: December 1995
Creator: Sardas, Isabela
Description: Review of previous research on cultural differences in pain experience and/or pain behavior revealed that cultural affiliation affects pain perception and response. Unfortunately, the many inconsistent findings in the literature on cultural differences in pain experience and behavior have made interpretations and comparisons of results problematic. These inconsistent findings could be attributed to variations in acculturation level among cultural groups. The purpose of this study was to investigate cultural differences in pain experience (assessed by McGill Pain Questionnaire, the Box Scale, the Headache Pain Drawing, and the Headache Questionnaire) and pain behavior (measured by determining medication use and interference of daily functioning due to headaches) among Mexican (n = 43), Mexican American (n = 36), and Anglo American (n = 50) female chronic headache pain sufferers. The contribution of acculturation to differences in pain experience and behavior among cultural groups was measured by the Acculturation Rating Scale for Mexican Americans. The three cultural groups of women significantly differed on pain experience and pain behavior. Specifically, Mexican women experienced their headache pain more intensely, severely, and emotionally than Mexican American and Anglo American women. Furthermore, Mexican women were more willing to verbally express their pain than the other two groups. As ...

The Relationship Between Environmental Barriers and Modes of Technology Transfer: A Study of United States Companies with Operations in Mexico
Date: August 1994
Creator: LeMaster, Jane
Description: This study is an empirical evaluation of the relationship between perceptions of the elements of the remote environment of business and the mode of transfer utilized by 90 United States companies transferring technology to Mexico. Characteristics of the technology, the company, and the industry were found, from a thorough search of the literature, to be the key aspects of technology transfer. The primary hypothesis predicted that a significant relationship would exist between perceptions of barriers and choice of transfer mode.

Music Theory in Mexico from 1776 To 1866: A Study of Four Treatises by Native Authors
Date: August 1986
Creator: Flores, Carlos A. (Carlos Arturo)
Description: This investigation traces the history and development of music theory in Mexico from the date of the first Mexican treatise available (1776) to the early second half of the nineteenth century (1866). This period of ninety years represents an era of special importance in the development of music theory in Mexico. It was during this time that the old modal system was finally abandoned in favor of the new tonal system and that Mexican authors began to pen music treatises which could be favorably compared with the imported European treatises which were the only authoritative source of instruction for serious musicians in Mexico.

Man faces felony assault chargeAugust 14,2014Man faces felony assault charge
A Brandon man on Wednesday denied striking a woman repeatedly at his Carver Street home.
John D. Desabrais, 43, pleaded innocent in Rutland criminal court to a felony charge of aggravated domestic assault in the second degree. The aggravated charge was based on a violation of an abuse prevention order placed on Desabrais in March 2010.
Judge Theresa DiMauro set bail at $5,000 for Desabrais who posted that amount and was released. The judge also imposed a condition that prohibits Desabrais from possessing or consuming alcohol.
Brandon Police say they were called to Desabrais home at 20 Carver Street at about 11:10 p.m. Tuesday where a woman told police that he had struck her repeatedly and torn her clothes, according to court records.
Asked about the injuries to the woman, Desabrais said he and the woman struck each other during a mutual affray but declined to elaborate on the fight, and police said they found no injuries on Desabrais. The Brandon man also told police he had been drinking throughout the evening and had a blood-alcohol level of 0.161 percent when tested at his home. That level is twice the 0.08 percent legal limit to operate a motor vehicle in Vermont.MORE IN This Just InNORTH BENNINGTON Two public meetings, in North Bennington and Shaftsbury, have been set for...

SDCC: "Batman: The Killing Joke" Cast & Crew Debuts Film at Comic-Con International
I think it's hard to overestimate the value of The Sandman, the 75-issue Neil Gaiman-written series that began its life as a revival of the late-'70s Joe Simon/Jack Kirby character, and ended up as 1,600-plus page epic that was one of the all-time best gateway comics — not to mention a powerful factor in the mainstreaming of adult comics content and a then still-emerging graphic novel market.
So Gaiman returning to Dream of the Endless (and the first Dream, rather than Daniel), for the first time since 2003's The Sandman: Endless Nights? That should be a pretty big deal, right?
For The Sandman: Overture, which debuted this week, Gaiman is paired with Promethea artist J.H. Williams III (better known these days for his run on Batwoman), colorist Dave Stewart and letterer Todd Klein, who lettered all the previous Sandman comics.
As exciting as the project is, it also feels rather dangerous for writer, reader, character and publisher. You know what they say about going home again, after all, or catching lightning in a bottle.
As if the debut today of The Sandman: Overture weren't enough, Bard College in Annandale-on-Hudson, New York, announced this morning that acclaimed fantasy author and comics writer Neil Gaiman will join its theater and performance faculty in the spring semester as a professor in the arts.
He'll teach courses in the Division of the Arts and the Division of Languages and Literature, beginning with an advanced writing workshop "exploring the history of the fantastic, approaches to fantasy fiction, and the meaning of fantasy today."
Gaiman, who this year launched what he calls his last U.S. signing tour (in support of The Ocean at the End of the Lane), lives with his wife Amanda Palmer in Cambridge, Massachusetts, about three hours away from Bard College.
Graphic novels | Graphic novel sales are up 6.59 percent in comics shops, and they are also up in bookstores, according to the latest issue of ICv2's Internal Correspondence. Sales have been increasing in the direct market for a while, but this is the first uptick in bookstore sales since the economy crashed in 2008. There seem to be several factors, including the popularity of television and movie tie-ins — the success of DC's graphic novel program linked to Man of Steel is singled out — and a turnaround in manga sales. The article winds up with lists of the top properties in a number of different categories. [ICv2]
Digital comics | Here's today's news article on Crunchyroll's new digital manga service, which offers same-day releases of 12 Kodansha manga titles for free and an all-you-can-eat service for $4.99 a month. Tomohiro Osaki interviews Japanese publishing insiders, who are upfront about the fact that this is an attempt to compete with pirate sites, and translator Matt Thorn, who says that better translations on the official site may lure readers away from scanlations. [The Japan Times]
To celebrate the 25th anniversary of The Sandman, Neil Gaiman looked back to the very beginning of the acclaimed series to answer a lingering question: What left the mighty Lord of Dreams so weakened that he was able to be imprisoned for 70 years?
"We learn, as the story goes on, that he arrived in England exhausted, dressed for war, from somewhere very far away, and that was why they captured him so easily," Gaiman told Fast Company ahead of the Wednesday debut of The Sandman: Overture, his six-issue collaboration with J.H. Williams III. "But I never told that story. And it's big, and it's very weird."
However, over the course of the The Sandman's 75-issue run, there were at least two other untold tales that are certainly just as big, and undoubtedly just as weird — and they both involve the letter D (naturally).
"If we ever get to the 50th anniversary, I may tell the story of how the character of Delight became Delirium, or the story of how the first Despair died," Gaiman teased. "But that's the 50th anniversary, so there's plenty of time."
Although Destruction, who long ago abandoned his Endless duties and disappeared, was found during the series, Delight's transformation into Delirium was a mystery to which not even Destiny knew the answer. And while clues were dropped about the death of the original Despair — she even appeared in 2003's Endless Nights — readers were left wondering about the details, including who was behind it.
But, hey, we can hold out until 2038 for the answers, right?
"I started to feel an enormous amount of sympathy and empathy for Charles Dickens, because he was doing the same thing – a serialized story. And I started reading Dickens in a very, very different way. While writing The Sandman I'd go, 'Ah, this is part of the big plot that you absolutely know what you're doing, and this bit is you going, "I'm not quite sure what I'm doing here, so I'm gonna busk a little bit. And this is you just bringing on a character and just going I know I'll find a use for you somewhere down the line."' These days, probably the nearest thing to it outside of comics would be serial television, if you had just had one writer. […] But the one thing that TV has is the same thing wonderful thing that Dickens had, and same thing that I had – to be able to take stock of what you're doing and what's working as you go, to the point where you bring on somebody who was a little better than an extra and you go, 'Actually, everybody really likes that guy and we like that guy! Let's bring him back and have him do something else.' And by season two he's one of the stars and nobody actually remembers that he wasn't even in the original outline. There were definitely things when I was writing Sandman that were like that. And in a peculiar way, there are moments when I'm writing Overture where I get to do little things that set up for later things that I wasn't expecting."
— Neil Gaiman, reflecting on writing The Sandman on a monthly basis, in an interview with RollingStone.com
A New Zealand library's refusal over the summer to carry Alan Moore and Melinda Gebbie's Lost Girls has received renewed attention, earning a signal boost from Neil Gaiman and a stern denial from the National Library of New Zealand that it had anything to do with the move.
The story illustrates the strange and unenviable predicament of libraries in countries with censorship laws: If they submit the material for government review in hopes it will be cleared, they risk triggering a ban; however, if they don't submit a potentially objectionable book, they risk later being found in violation of the law.
Here's what happened in New Zealand: Over the summer, cartoonist Dylan Horrocks reported he had asked his local library in Auckland to purchase a copy of Lost Girls. The library refused, and he posted its response on his Facebook page:
Thank you for your suggestion to purchase 'Lost Girls' by Alan Moore. Due to the depictions contained within this graphic novel we have been advised by the Office of Film and Literature Classification that we may be at risk of prosecution if we made the book available to customers. As a result Auckland Libraries will not be purchasing copies of this title.
As it turns out, Stuff.co.nz reported this week, the library had purchased a copy in 2008, at a patron's request, but removed it from shelves after concerns were raised about the content.
I like this too-brief piece for The Guardian in which writer Neil Gaiman recounts the beginnings, and the "end," of The Sandman and artist Dave McKean recalls the evolution of the comic's distinctive covers.
"I'd been keeping it secret that the story would one day end. But, around issue 30, I began dropping hints," says. "And it was explained to me that this couldn't happen: with a successful monthly, when a writer leaves, a new one comes in. I decided not to argue. But in every interview I did, I said I hoped they would stop it when I left, because if they did I would keep on working for them. That percolated into the world and one day I got a call from Karen [Berger] saying: 'You know, we really can't keep this going after you're done.' That was the biggest thing Sandman changed: DC's most successful comic was stopped because the writer was done. Otherwise, the brand would have been tarnished."
As a nice bonus, there's also a gallery of McKean's favorite Sandman covers, complete with commentary. The Sandman: Overture, by Gaiman and J.H. Williams III, with variant covers by McKean, debuts Oct. 30.
Starting today, UK underground comics publisher Knockabout Comics and digital-comics publisher Sequential are teaming up to publish Neil Gaiman's Lost Tales, a collection of Gaiman's comic strips from the 1980s, for free—and they will donate 50 cents to charity for every download.
The 100-page collection, which is available only via the Sequential iPad app, includes stories from Outrageous Tales from the Old Testament and Seven Deadly Sins, as well as a science fiction story from 2000AD and other material. Some of the comics are collaborations with other creators, including Bryan Talbot and Dave McKean, and many are long out of print. Also included is a 1988 interview with Gaiman.
A New Mexico school district has at least temporarily removed Neil Gaiman's Neverwhere from its lone high school following an objection to the fantasy novel's "inappropriate" content." The book has been part of the 10th-grade English curriculum in 2004.
The Alamogordo Daily News reports that Nancy Wilmott, whose daughter was reading the novel as part of an assignment, was offended by a four-paragraph passage on Page 86 that "graphically describes an adulterous sexual encounter between a married man and a single woman in which the F-word is used three times, along with a brief description of groping of one's anatomy."
"I trusted the school system. I trusted the school district to pick proper material, and this is not," Wimott, who contacted school officials last week about the material, told KASA Channel 2. "I did state to the principal that this is rated-R material, and she can't get into a rated-R movie."
On Thursday, the school district ordered Neverwhere "temporarily removed from usage" until it can be reviewed.
Welcome to "Cheat Sheet," ROBOT 6′s guide to the week ahead.

Legal | The prosecutor for Singapore's Attorney-General's Chambers has decided not to pursue sedition charges against cartoonist Leslie Chew, who was arrested in April on charges stemming from a cartoon at his Demon-Cratic Singapore Facebook page. Chew still faces charges of contempt of court for "scandalising the Judiciary of the Republic of Singapore." That case will be heard on Aug. 12. [Straits Times]
Legal | Kevin Lim and Evaline Danubrata add some context to the story of Singaporean cartoonist Leslie Chew, who was charged Thursday with contempt of court for several cartoons critical of the Singapore courts that appeared on his Facebook page Demon-cratic Singapore. This isn't the first time Chew has run afoul of authorities; he was charged with sedition earlier this year for alleging official discrimination against the Malay population. Singapore recently enacted a law requiring licenses for news sites that report regularly on the country, a move that critics of the ruling People's Action Party see as an attempt to silence dissent.

It appears 2013 is going to be another banner year for Neil Gaiman: He's already following the release of a new novel with a highly anticipated return to The Sandman, and now comes word that he's writing a video game.
In an interview with Mashable, the author reveals he's working with the video game companies Odd Gentlemen and Moonshark on a multiplatform game titled Wayward Manor that centers on a haunted house. Set for release this fall, it follows a ghostly resident of the manor as he encounters the various owners and tenants of the house over a 200-year period. Sounds scary? Gaiman's got more for you than just horror.

I have a WP blog, and I like(d) writing it very much, so I looked at creating a website with WP. Afterall, WP ballyhoos how many corporate websites have been created using their platform...
Well, I am frustrated, because I have to learn all these secret easter eggs and special programming language. I want to just be able to *get rid* of some of the sausage, e.g., the sidebars, the concatenation of "posts" that should be separate pages ... and I want to be able to *include* my own artwork in the header.
I have been doing this in MS Word, for crying out loud,since the previous century; why, oh, why? is this so opaque to an otherwise competent human being such as I?

Tearoom: Too busy sucking on a ding-dong
In 1962, the Mansfield (Ohio) Police Department stationed officers armed with a movie camera behind a two-way mirror in a public restroom known for its "cruisy" atmosphere. With the help of the footage shot, dozens of men were arrested, prosecuted, and convicted on sodomy charges, which at the time carried mandatory minimum sentences of a year in prison. In 2007, the original surveillance footage was obtained by filmmaker William E. Jones. He's screened the unedited 56 minute film as Tearoom at festivals and museums the world over, providing a clandestine look at the scrutiny small-town Midwestern gay men faced in the 1960's.

Chicken & Campanelle Pasta With Roasted Garlic Cream
Total Time
Prep 30 mins
Cook 30 mins
This pasta dish is superb; the Roasted Garlic Cream creates an awesome garlic sensation that is rich, smooth and velvety on your tongue. You may substitute the chicken with lobster, scallops or shrimp for an elegant dinner party entrée.
Ingredients Nutrition
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1⁄2 cup minced onion
- 1 teaspoon chopped garlic
- 1 lb grilled chicken breast
- 6 sun-dried tomatoes
- 1 cup shiitake mushroom
- 1⁄2 cup white wine
- 1⁄2 cup rich chicken broth
- 2 cups heavy cream
- 1 lb campanelle pasta, cooked
- 12 leaves fresh basil
- salt and pepper
- freshly grated parmesan cheese
Roasted Garlic Cream (use 1 cup)
- 1 cup peeled garlic
- 1 cup olive oil
- 2 cups heavy cream
- 1⁄2 teaspoon salt
- 1⁄2 teaspoon pepper
- Prepare the Roasted Garlic Cream recipe. (see below).
- Grill the chicken or roast the breasts and dice them into bite sized pieces.
- Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium high heat. Sauté the onion, garlic, mushrooms and chicken. When the onions are heated through, deglaze the pan with the white wine. Add the chicken stock and cream and reduce by half its volume or until the sauce is thick enough to coat a spoon.
- Sir in the Roasted Garlic Cream and add the cooked pasta. Add basil and season to taste with salt and pepper.
- Pour into a large serving bowl and sprinkle with the parmesan cheese and more fresh basil.
- Roasted Garlic Cream: (This sauce is a garlic lover's dream! It will add incredible garlic flavor, aroma and depth to any dish. It is so versatile that it can be used on pizza! The garlic flavor is mellow not strong and the texture will be similar to that of peanut butter. It makes wicked garlic bread.).
- Place the garlic in a saucepan and cover with olive oil. Heat to medium high and cook for about ten minutes until the garlic is golden brown, but not burnt.
- Remove from heat and strain the olive oil into an airtight container to use in future recipes.
- Put the cooked garlic into a food processor or blender.
- Heat the cream in a heavy saucepan, reducing it to half of its original volume, or until the amount equals about one cup. Pour the cream into the blender with the cooked garlic and purée into a paste.
Most Helpful
This was really yummy! I loved the smooth mellow taste of the garlic cream, and the richness of the dish as a whole. I substituted cremini mushrooms for shitakes, and added some sliced zucchini from my garden. I also suted the chicken rather than grilling it, which I think was a mistake on my part and is not reflected in the stars I gave. We felt that the dish looked very white on the plate, and that grilling the chicken would have added some color that would have made the dish as beautiful as it was yummy. We also thought that a small handfull of chopped herbs like thyme or oregano would have brightened the flavor and taken this from really good to outstanding. I will definitely make this again! Reviewed for PAC Fall '08.
This is so very rich! The garlic is not strong at all. I did use the oil the garlic was used to cook in for sauteing the onions. The chicken I used leftover turkey my Rotisserie Turkey which I held off adding just to heat when I added the campanelle. The tomatoes I added with the onions, (directions don`t state when to add). I used 1/2 the amount of cream and used light cream. As for the Garlic cream I did strain the cream before blending with the garlic. Thanks.
We loved this! Made it with a combo of shrimps and scallops and absolutely adored the dish---sinfully rich even tho I used MUCH less heavy cream than called for in either the main dish or the garlic cream. Actually, I found that low fat sour cream, left for a while in a strainer to thicken, is a perfect sub for much of the cream. Having extra garlic cream is a wonderful bonus. Thanks, Katrina!

"We call you Saint."
The name ignited a light in Carl's mind. Saint. He'd been covertly recruited for Black Ops and given his life to the most brutal kind of training any man or woman could endure. He was here because he belonged here. To the X Group.
An assassin. The most effective killer in the world. And yet . . . Carl Strople struggles to retain fleeting memories that betray an even more ominous reality. He's been told part of the truthbut what's the rest?
Invasive techniques have stripped him of his identity and made him someone newfor this he is grateful. But there are some things they can't take from him. The love of a woman, unbroken loyalties to his past, the need for survival.
From the deep woods of Hungary to the streets of New York, Saint takes you on a journey of betrayal in a world of government cover-ups, political intrigue, and one man's search for the truth. In the end, that truth will be his undoing.

Me and my boyfriend bought this last minute. We received the outfits and was shocked at how thin and cheap the material of them is. To say how much we paid we thought it was going to be half decent material. Going by the material these outfits should be half the price that they charge.

What we found is that Empty Planet is a fictional book written by a college professor played by JoBeth Williams. According to sources, the book was part of a "Criminal Minds" story and not real.
In buzz, Criminal Minds Season 11 is all set to hit the television screen in the end of September. The filming for Criminal Mind is already on its way and there are numerous photos doing the rounds of the shoot and by the look of it, the coming season is going to be an interesting one.

david, i love you.
I tried to watch this but found it too awful to bear. I did like the cutting of the sash, which was reminiscent of the cutting of the umbilical cord. No one ever told me pageant ladies were so ugly, either... some of them were cute but most of them made me wince.
I find this show entertaining in the most horrific way.
The woman with the future pornstar daughter, who went to reform school...so broken. no wonder he daughter is such a fuck up.
Mmm. Sequins and silicone. It's like a drag show.
That clip had the quickest most nauseating cuts ever. I've got a freaking headache. But I must say that the show looks disgustingly appetizing.
And let's not forget that there's an actors' strike looming. Most of the major film studios will be shutting down productions by March or so. Oh boy! Looks like 2008 will be a pretty forgettable year as far as movies and TV.
I just couldn't bring myself to watch this.
What watching the commercials did do, however, is remind me that what I love most about my mom is that she would never in a million years even consider entering herself or her kids in a beauty pageant.
Dear Bob in Heaven, someone please pay the fucking writers already. I don't care if we have to take up a collection or install some sort of E-gold system for our downloads that goes direct to the WGA. Don't the television executives have any sense of decency? Concern for the sanity of their fellow man? Clue?
I'm getting old; I kept mishearing the de-sashing as de-SNATCHING.
i get the rubber-necking at a traffic accident appeal (i watched too). a number of the people are horrible! by that i mean their personalities. but how about a little more accuracy in the reporting of the facts. out of what 11 sets of contestants, only two teams used the word "bombshell" - that is hardly "most". and i think it's great the team that had the most points in the "first impression" contest last night was the team that another harried team find outfits that would work for them. i doubt i'll watch on nights when there are alternatives (i don't have cable, and my dvd wasn't working), but if there's nothing else on, i'll watch what is surely to escalate in bad behavior.
bad unscripted TV will force the writer's strike to end sooner. the unfortunate outcome being that we, the internet viewer, will have to pay. there's no way the networks are going to pass up the opportunity to both make more money, and make the writer's look like the bad ones.
If this is the best TV can offer, I guess I will be meeting my 52 book goal this year.
For what it's worth, when I finished watching the mom and daughter models, I finished reading James Baldwin's "Another Country," and goddamn it was good.
It occurs to me that there may be a queer revenge afoot here:
Before this is over, we might well be seeing all sorts of polls on which mother-daughter duo men would most like to double-dip.

So I'm not sure how to edit this code so that the Blog Title URL goes to my blog home and not the subdomain home.
<h1>/" title="<?php bloginfo('name');?>"><?php bloginfo('name');?></h1>
The subdomain url is wuf.shlinklincolnsports.com. I want it to go to shlinklincolnsports.com.
Do I need to edit "siteurl" somewhere or is there an easy way to edit in the new URL in the code above?
Thanks in advance for your help.

Blame it on the beautiful weather outside, the weekend I took away from the computer, the fact that a headache dominated most of Tuesday---whatever the case, this has been a week where I've felt a lot more like reading blogs than writing them. Do you ever get that way? I mean, it makes sense. If blogging's a form of communication, why shouldn't there be days where we feel more like listening than talking, reading than writing? Like in real life, sometimes I'm most happy to let someone else tell me stories, without needing to respond, without needing to join in. Sometimes I just like to sit back and observe, without interjecting. Sometimes I'm doing enough thinking and processing in my own head, the kind that hasn't reached any real conclusion, that I just want to keep it in there until it's ready to make some sense. And that's fine. Or at least, it would be fine, if it weren't for these cookies. … [Read more...]
the heart of things (sugar and spiced candy nuts)
Two days from Christmas, I can't imagine any of you are still looking for gift ideas. You're probably nothing like me, who not only hasn't finished wrapping presents but also hasn't finished buying them---not that there are many to buy because, whenever possible, I like to homemake Christmas gifts. This year has been as simple as free cards online, whipping up a batch of my favorite sweet and salty granola and baking some cookies, after which I mainly just had these sugar-and-spiced nuts to bake---two batches, because they're that good, and, like I said, I know you don't need gift ideas at this point, but if you ever do, trust me when I say these things make great ones. You know, in the last post, I told you how sick I've been, how I spent the full weekend before Christmas at home, in bed, trying to distract myself from my stuffy nose, and that's true. It's also true that Monday night, I spent a half hour holding ice against my face while trying to end my first-ever bloody nose. … [Read more...]
this right now
Morning, and the kitchen is quiet, with sunlight streaming across the sink and onto the wood floors, and I pour coffee, grab my lunch, take my keys from the little basket by the door. There will be 20 minutes at least, between me and the office, along expressways of commuters, and I will look at them, talking on their phones, singing with their radios, glancing at their watches, before I park and walk inside, up stairs to my desk, to begin the work day, to talk with my coworkers and double-check spellings at Merriam-Webster and watch the geese fly past my window and onto the roof. 5:30, and I'm getting in my car, like I've done so many times, and I'm stopping by the train station, like I do every day, and I'm walking in my front door, and I'm eating dinner, again. It's spring here---when did spring come? Weren't we just talking about fall and winter and how I hated the snow? The light lasts longer now, and the days are warmer, rainy. I take it all, eagerly, greedily, like it will … [Read more...]

For those interested in World Cup International baseball.
http://www.baseball.ch for stories/results at IBAF, some interesting stories there about Baseball in the Olympics future.
www.stadeo.tv for free video of the games.
The USA team has about 3 MLB players but mostly AAA and AA prospects, They won their 1st game 3-0 over Mexico.
Mexico matched up very well against them though and look very strong for the quarter finals at least.
First game for the Aussies was cruel.. 2-1 up V Cuba in the 9th with 2 out, 2 Strikes then give up a bomb in the 9th to tie and another bomb in the 10th to lose 2-3.
What a wicked game this is !.............. If Australia had beaten Cuba, that would have been huge news down-under.
Take consolation in the fact that the Aussies played quality baseball against a quality team for 8 & 2/3rd innings.
Not too many years ago it probably would of been a blow-out vs. Cuba.

Clinical-Style Validation, Regulation, and Quality Control...
Researchers Now Have a Myriad of...
Keep the Opportunities, Lose the Opportunists
Co-Sourcing Improves Pharmaceutical Laboratory Productivity
In the Jan. 21 early edition of the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, investigators reported that they have discovered an exploitable mechanism to rid the body of HIV.
Current antiretroviral drugs effectively suppress the virus, explains James Stivers, Ph.D., a professor of pharmacology and molecular sciences at the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine's Institute for Basic Biomedical Sciences, and colleagues at University of California, San Diego and the University of Utah School of Medicine, but they don't get at copies of the virus lurking in the DNA of in nondividing cells. "And," he says, "the minute you stop taking antiretrovirals, it starts replicating again."
HIV, like other viruses with RNA genomes, makes a DNA copy of itself in its target cells, integrating itself into the cell's DNA, then relying on certain cellular components to reproduce. But cellular DNA replication, an error-prone process, depends on multiple control mechanisms to rid replicating DNA of incorrect bases that become inserted in the process. For example, many DNA polymerases cannot discriminate between dUTP found in RNAs and dTTP, which is restricted to DNA, mistakenly putting a uracil in the nascent DNA chain where there should be a thymine.
To control dUTP levels, says Dr. Stivers, most human cell types have an enzyme that breaks down dUTP, uracil DNA glycosylase (dUTPase). As another fail-safe measure, the enzyme hUNG2 snips stray uracils out of newly copied DNA strands, leaving the resulting holes to be filled by a different repair enzyme. Certain resting cells targeted by the virus lack the first quality-control mechanism because, Stivers explains, "They're not replicating their DNA and dividing, so they couldn't care less if they have a lot of dUTP."
When a retrovirus like HIV invades a cell, it immediately makes DNA copies of its own RNA genome, then inserts them into the host cell genome. If there are many dUTPs floating around, they wind up in the new viral DNA, and, potentially, are removed by hUNG2. The question, Stivers said, left open by the conflicting results of previous studies, was what effect, if any, this process has on HIV and similar viruses.
The investigators found, in measuring dUTP levels and hUNG2 activity in human cells grown in vitro then exposed to HIV, that cells with high dUTP but little hUNG2 activity were highly susceptible to the virus, as were cells with low dUTP levels but high hUNG2. In cells with high UNG2 levels, the enzyme would snip out the few stray Us, but the resulting holes would be repaired, leaving the viral DNA as "good as new."
But in cells with both high dUTP and vigilant hUNG2, Dr. Stivers said, the repair process left the viral DNA so riddled with holes that it was beyond repair. "It's like dropping a nuclear bomb on the viral genome," he said.
Stivers noted that dUTP may turn out to be a "potentially interesting pharmacologic target against HIV-1." Further, a protein expressed by HIV degrades UNG in some immune cells, he explains. Unable to repair damaged DNA, these cells are then more prone to infection. If researchers designed a drug that blocks the interaction between the HIV protein and UNG, they might be able to protect the immune cells from infection, he said.

|"Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles" returns September 8 on Fox
As this is Mansonâs first acting job, she is expecting to have fandomâs critical eye watching her every performance. âI am sure I will be totally a hundred percent criticized,â Manson told CBR News. âBut I'm criticized anyways regardless. Whether it's making music or acting, there's always people who love what people do and there's always detractors, and I think you just have to get to the point where you stop caring what other people think. I know that Summer is the same; that we judge our own performances pretty stridently and we're harsh on ourselves. I think that's how you have to live life is listening to yourself and listening to your own judgments and try to self regulate it and just try and keep doing a good job.â
Glau was quick to support her fellow actress, complimenting her on the performances she has given so far. âShe is an amazing actress,â Glau said. âI was watching her work, she's doing great.â
|Shirley Manson stars as Catherine Weaver in "Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles"
Mansonâs character, Catherine Weaver, may not be toting guns and going to toe to toe with a Terminator like Cameron, but she will find her own ways to assert herself. âShe is a hard ass,â Manson said. âShe is really successful, [has a] singular purpose, and she kicks ass in her own way; she gets what she wants.â
A corporate suit is typically seen as the antithesis of todayâs rock star, with the artist typically having to fight the suits for their integrity. While Manson agreed that corporate types are the opposite of her rock star sensibilities, she looked to find the commonalities in portraying her character. âYou know, she's the CEO of a corporation that develops technology,â Manson explained. âAs a musician, we're dealing with technology all the time nowadays so it's not such a stretch.â
Most of Mansonâs work so far has been only with former FBI Agent James Ellison, played by Richard T. Jones. While the actor hasnât been giving her any on set pointers, he has done his best to make Manson feel comfortable on the set. âHeâs been really gentle with me,â Manson said. âAnd really sweet and really being very friendly and made me feel really welcome. The whole cast has, actually, which really means a lot when your coming into something like this.â
Fans of âTerminator: The Sarah Connor Chroncilesâ will finally get a glimpse into Cameronâs âfuture historyâ this season and find out exactly what makes this Terminator tick, a story that surpassed even Glauâs expectations for the character. âEvery script is better then I thought it could be,â Glau said. âIt was a big deal for me though because I had been waiting for this. [Executive Producers] Josh [Friedman] and James [Middleton] didn't give anything away in the beginning, so I had to create my own decisions about where Cameron came from and who she was and it's the most difficult acting I've ever done. [Itâs] very, very demanding and I wanted to do my best because many people don't get a script like that, especially in TV. It's just a really special script and it's my favorite, definitely my favorite.â
|Summer Glau stars as Cameron in "Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles"
When fans last saw the Terminator known as Cameron, she was engulfed in flames after the car she had just entered exploded. Itâs a situation that while not fatal has left a few problems for John Connorâs protector. âWell she's going a bit haywire,â Glau explained. âI don't want to give too much away but it's very dangerous and very scary for John because he needs to be able to trust Cameron with his life and he needs to feel he knows where she's going to be all the time and she's struggling to try and pull it back together.â
If that wasnât enough for this cyborg, John Connorâs new love interest is also going to throw a wrench in the works. âHe meets this girl [Riley],â Glau said. âAnd he kind of turns his back on [Cameron] so she's lost her purpose in life because heâs being very rebellious this season, so Cameron is left to try and pick up the pieces.â
As for the news of a cast memberâs death this season, the announcement left Shirley Manson and Summer Glau a bit polarized on what they think will happen. âI think everybody was like, âIt's going to be me!ââ Manson said. For her part, Glau has a tough time believing they are going to loose anyone on the show. âI think they were just joking,â she said. âI don't believe it, I think we are all going to be around.â
Hopefully all CBR readers will be around tomorrow as we check in with writer and Executive Producer Josh Friedman as our weeklong spotlight on âTerminator: The Sarah Connor Chroniclesâ continues.

No Pad, No Helmets...Just BallsNo Pad, No Helmets...Just BallsSimple PlanNo Pad, No Helmets...Just BallsNo Pad, No Helmets...Just Balls
The Montreal-based punk-pop group Simple Plan is comprised of high school pals Pierre Bouvier (vocals), Jeff Stinco (guitar), David Desrosiers (bass), Sebastien Lefebvre (guitar), and Chuck Comeau (drums). The five-piece initially came together when Comeau and Bouvier founded Reset at age 13. Reset was a modest success in Canada, touring the country with fellow punkers MxPx, Ten Foot Pole, and Face to Face. A debut album followed in 1997, however Comeau bowed out quietly to attended college. Two years later, Comeau let his studies take a back seat in order for he, Stinco, and Lefebvre to start making music. Bouvier was still in charge of Reset during this time, but grew tired of being both a frontman and a guitarist. He and Comeau reconnected at a Sugar Ray show in late 1999 and it wasn't long until Bouvier was back with Comeau and the rest of his motley crew. Desrosiers, who replaced Bouvier in Reset, was asked to join Comeau and his pals, and Simple Plan was born. They landed show dates with the annual Vans Warped Tour in 2001 as well as spots with Toronto's Snow Jam. By now, Simple Plan had a spunky, energetic punk sound. It was textured like Cheap Trick, but raw like Pennywise. In 2002, Simple Plan headed into the studio to make a record. Good Charlotte's Joel Madden and Mark Hoppus of blink-182 joined Simple Plan during those sessions and the end result was the fiery, fun No Pad, No Helmets...Just Balls, which was released in spring 2003 on Lava. The group took home a 2003 MuchMusic Video Award for People's Choice "Favorite Canadian Group" in June. Their Bob Rock-produced second album Still Not Getting Any… followed the next year. ~ MacKenzie Wilson, All Music Guide
