El regreso del dinosaurio: un debate sobre la reciente victoria del PRI en la elección presidencial de 2012
No full textResumenEn el presente artículo, tres destacados académicos entrevistados (Roderic Ai Camp, Wayne A. Cornelius y Kenneth F. Greene) argumentan que el retorno del sistema autoritario mexicano es poco probable debido a la existencia de instituciones democráticas que han surgido en los últimos años; sin embargo, no resulta claro cómo las instituciones políticas y los ciudadanos puedan restringir las viejas prácticas de los gobiernos priístas, como la compra del voto, el fraude electoral y el clientelismo.AbstractIn the present article, three acknowledgeable scholars are interviewed (Roderic Ai Camp, Wayne A.

The Life and Times of James A. Harding
No full textThe biography of James A. Harding is selected for two reasons. First, through biographical writing one can see in the life of a modern Christian the faith that was possessed by Paul whose faith was in Christ Jesus. Second, tribute is paid to a man whose contributions have greatly affected the New Testament church. Harding\u27s contribution to Christian education, his philosophy of Christian living, and his views on doctrinal subjects are seen today in Christian institutions of higher learning and in the lives of individual followers of Christ
Observations on dietary aluminum level, time duration exposure to dietary aluminum, and the influence of specific dietary blocking agents on tissue aluminum accumulation in the rat
No full textTypescript (photocopy).Two experiments were conducted to observe the association of dietary aluminum (Al) with tissue Al accumulation. Other objectives included: to determine if alginic acid (AA) and pectin (P) in the diet could inhibit Al accumulation in tissues, and to relate time of exposure of dietary Al to Al tissue accumulation. The first experiment was conducted with a test diet feeding period of 35 days in a factorial arrangement of treatments with 24 rats, six rats per treatment. The dietary treatments were: groups 0 and 1, no added dietary Al (Al < 20 ppm) with or without 5% AA; groups 2 and 3, 400 ppm additional dietary Al with or without 5% AA. Kidney tissue analyzed by neutron activation showed no significant Al accumulation, or influence of the blocking agent. The second experiment was conducted over two time intervals (phase I with 24 rats for 28 days, and phase II with 26 rats for 56 days) and was done with 7 different diets. The diets included a control (basal with no added Al or blocking agent), the basal with 425 or 640 ppm Al added, with 5% AA or 5% P added to each Al test level. The Al source for both experiments was aluminum dibasic acetate. Tissues collected and pooled for analyses by inductively coupled plasma atomic emission spectroscopy included bone, brain, and kidney. The addition of 425 ppm Al to the diets stimulated body weight gain by about 10% relative to the controls. The blocking agents suppressed Al-induced weight gain, although AA stimulated feed intake (P < 0.05). Trends in Al accumulation appeared to occur in bone and brain tissues associated with dietary Al; but independent of blocking agents and independent of time exposure to the dietary Al. However, no statistical analyses were possible on the pooled tissue analytical means, and therefore, no conclusions can be drawn. We may speculate that in the rat the tissue residency half-life of Al is low, or that the tissues have a saturation limit

University of Tulsa Football
No full textThe Texas Christian University football team is hosting the University of Tulsa at Amon G. Carter Stadium to open the season. The visiting Hurricanes, standing shoulder to shoulder left to right, are Jim Vickers (62) back, L. D. Moore (52) end, Kenneth Gibson (13) end, Jim Worthington (26) tackle, Glenn Henicle (38) guard, Ralph Morgan (41) center, Wayne Holt (39) guard, C. H. Greene (22) tackle, Alston Campbell (16) end, Joe Gibson (51) back, and Glenn Dobbs (45) back. Head coach Henry Frnka has built a strong defensive squad and believes they will have an edge over the Frogs. The Hurricanes ended up losing the game 6-0 after gaining only two first downs.

Transcriptional regulation of the human ALDH1A1 promoter by the oncogenic homeoprotein TLX1/HOX11
No full textThe homeoprotein TLX1, which is essential to spleen organogenesis and oncogenic when aberrantly expressed in immature T cells, functions as a bifunctional transcriptional regulator, being capable of activation or repression depending on cell type and/or promoter context. However, the detailed mechanisms by which it regulates the transcription of target genes such as ALDH1A1 remains to be elucidated. We therefore functionally assessed the ability of TLX1 to regulate ALDH1A1 expression in two hematopoietic cell lines, PER-117 T-leukemic cells and human erythroleukemic (HEL) cells, by use of luciferase reporter and mobility shift assays. We showed that TLX1 physically interacts with the general transcription factor TFIIB via its homeodomain, and identified two activities in respect to TLX1-mediated regulation of the CCAAT box-containing ALDH1A1 promoter. The first involved CCAAT-dependent transcriptional repression via perturbation of GATA factor-containing protein complexes assembled at a non-canonical TATA (GATA) box. A structurally intact homeodomain was essential for repression by TLX1 although direct DNA binding was not required. The second activity, which involved CCAAT-independent transcriptional activation did not require an intact homeodomain, indicating that the activation and repression functions of TLX1 are distinct. These findings confirm ALDH1A1 gene regulation by TLX1 and support an indirect model for TLX1 function, in which protein-protein interactions, rather than DNA binding at specific sites, are crucial for its transcriptional activity
Denise Levertov
No full textKenneth Rexroth called Denise Levertov (1923–1997) “the most subtly skillful poet of her generation, the most profound, ... and the most moving.” Author of twenty-four volumes of poetry, four books of essays, and several translations, Levertov became a lauded and honored poet. Born in England, she published her first book of poems at age twenty-three, but it was not until she married and came to the United States in 1948 that she found her poetic voice, helped by the likes of William Carlos Williams, Robert Duncan, and Robert Creeley. Shortly before her death in 1997, the woman who claimed no country as home was nominated to be America's poet laureate. This book examines Levertov's interviews, essays, and self-revelatory poetry to discern the conflict and torment she both endured and created in her attempts to deal with her own psyche, her relationships with family, friends, lovers, colleagues, and the times in which she lived. This book is the first complete biography of Levertov, a woman who claimed she did not want a biography, insisting that it was her work that she hoped would endure. And yet she confessed that her poetry in its various forms—lyric, political, natural, and religious—derived from her life experience. Although a substantial body of criticism has established Levertov as a major poet of the later twentieth century, the book represents the first attempt to set her poetry within the framework of her often tumultuous life.</p
Frank Zeidler, Milwaukee, and Cold War Civil Defense
No full textCivil defense in the Cold War encompassed the development of government policies and procedures to evacuate, shelter, and decentralizing American populations and industries in the event of a nuclear war. This project employs a body of primary documents to examine the unacknowledged role of Milwaukee's last Socialist mayor as a trailblazer in the design and implementation of civil defense policy during his tenure from 1948 until 1960. Under the leadership of the Zeidler Administration the city of Milwaukee was an exemplary national model for civil defense planning. Yet despite superior planning, implementation of civil defense in Milwaukee, like elsewhere, suffered both from apathy and the practical impossibility of preparing for nuclear disaster. This research contributes to our understanding of local defense and offers insight into the contemporary politics of municipal government in the metropolitan area of Milwaukee
