Better with Bubbles: An Effervescent Education in Champagnes & Sparkling Wines
Author Ariel Arce
A deep dive into the world of Champagne and sparkling wine, with tips, information, and irreverent inspiration that will empower you to pop some bubbly anytime, anywhere.
"Champagne and I have something in common: What if anything is possible?"
In the hands of Air's Champagne Parlor owner Ariel Arce, sparkling wine is magic: It makes music sound better, clothes feel sexier, people look hotter, big ideas seem possible. It's a legal drug that lets you get a little loose, fly high on effervescence. It's a mischievous potion that was created out of an accident in the 1600s, whose mysteries we are still drawn to today. Drawing on Arce's decade of experience selling, tasting, and proselytizing, Pop Bottles educates, amuses, inspires, and empowers us to make Champagne and sparkling a go-to.
Divided into two sections (one for Champagne, the other on sparkling wines from around the world), Pop Bottles dispenses with dry backstory and tedious tasting notes in favor of a rollicking, visual tour of the universe of bubbly. Discover your palate through a choose-your-own-adventure tasting guide; learn what to wear (and not wear) to a vineyard; and learn how to throw a Champagne pizza party. The sparkling section will cover dominant sparkling regions (Italy, Spain, and elsewhere in France), along with exciting newer players like England, America, Australia, and Japan.
Dubbed the "Champagne Empress of Greenwich Village" by the New York Times and a "Champagne mogul" by Vogue, Ariel Arce is a restauranteur and owner of Air's Champagne Parlor, Tokyo Record Bar, Niche Niche, and Special Club in New York. She previously worked as the wine director of Birds & Bubbles, and at cult Chicago cocktail venue, The Office at the Aviary.
Category: Cooking - Beverages - Alcoholic - Wine
Publisher: Universe
Trim Size: 8 x 10-1/2
Better with Bubbles is meant to keep you up at night—writing a grocery list for your next bubbles-inspired soirée, updating your Spotify with Arce's sparkling soundtracks, booking your plane ticket to the motherland to follow her road map of the best sips and eats, and compiling a wish list of bottles from her recommendations. What's most refreshing is how Arce approaches a product that is viewed as a luxury. Her personality is what ultimately sets this book apart: outgoing, humble and witty.
— WINE & SPIRITS MAGAZINE
"For many of us, the holiday season is, among other things, an excuse to up our intake of champagne. Content to just grab the nearest bottle of Möet, most people don't bother to do much research on the subject prior to quaffing it, however. Ariel Arce is here to change that. Arce, who was once dubbed the "Champagne Empress of Greenwich Village" by the New York Times, is a restauranteur and owner of Air's Champagne Parlor, Tokyo Record Bar, Niche Niche, and Special Club in New York, among others. And now she's an author as well, with a cool new book out from Universe called Better with Bubbles: An Effervescent Education in Champagnes & Sparkling Wines."
"To say that restaurateur Ariel Arce knows champagne would be an understatement. As the owner of New York City's Tokyo Record Bar, Air's Champagne Parlor, Niche Niche, and Special Club, she believes that sparkling wine shouldn't be reserved just for life's most important moments but should instead be enjoyed on a regular basis. Champagne, in Arce's expert opinion, can transform the most mundane of activities into one of pure magic, and her new book "Better with Bubbles" shows exactly how. Drawing on a decade of experience tasting, selling, and learning about champagne, the book educates readers on the beverage's illustrious history and how it differs across various regions, entertains and inspires with a choose-your-own-adventure tasting guide, and empowers us to make sparkling wine a bigger part of our lives." —FORBES.COM
"A magical deep dive into Champagne and sparkling wines from Ariel Arce, owner of NYC's Air's Champagne Parlor, this book is a visual tour of all the bubbly to know and choose-your-own-adventure tasting guide. Cheers!" — MARTHA STEWART LIVING
"...this must-have addition to your wine book library is a fun read. You won't even realize how much you're learning, since you'll be laughing so much. The book is chock full of interesting facts and stories about Champagne and its bubbly cousins from around the world." —THE WINE CHEF

Most people are involved, at one time or another, in selling real estate. While real estate is something that many people find intimidating, the advice in this article should help you to enter the world of selling real estate with more knowledge and confidence.
If you are trying to sell your house, you should set a price that is practical. Check out recent comparable home sales in your area, and set a sales price that is somewhat in the middle. If you price it too high, you might have to lower it.
TIP! If you plan on selling your home, get rid of as much clutter as possible, even if you intend to remain living there while it's on the market. The people who visit need to see themselves in your home, but your personal touches could give them a vision they just can't fit into.
When your house is up for sale, make sure you have easy access to all information a buyer might require. Listing the improvements done to a home, as well as specifying who did them, is a good idea. You will be able to demonstrate to the buyer that the home was cared for this way.
Cleaning your windows goes a very long way in giving your home an updated and fresh appeal. Windows that sparkle allow in more natural illumination, and they also give a feeling of newness to a home. Most prospective buyers will notice the effect, but will not stop to think that you put so much time and effort into it.
TIP! Keep all information handy that a buyer may find helpful when purchasing a home. Keep records of the companies and professionals who have worked on the house, complete with details of the jobs performed.
Use many methods to reach potential buyers or find the home you are looking for. Some tools that can be effective at helping you sell your property include newspaper listings, real estate agent contacts, and also realty websites that you can find online. It's best to look at all the options available if you want to maximize you success at finding the right buyer for your property.
To enable potential buyers to envision themselves in your house, make it a little less "you." This means that you have to remove all personal photos and mementos. It is best for buyers to picture themselves in the home, not you. Clearing the home of clutter is also a wise move as you want buyers to see the house, not your belongings.
Prior to any real estate market endeavor beginning, anyone partaking in this journey would be wise to set some goals before buying or selling anything. When a buyer has clear requirements in their mind, they're less likely to get swept up in the excitement of house hunting and make a deal that they later back out of. If a buyer sets a firm price and sticks to it, the chances of making a sudden, ill-advised purchase are greatly reduced.
The season greatly affects the housing market in many locations of the country. Decorating your home to complement the fall season can make your home seem welcoming of potential buyers. Make sure your yard is raked clean of fallen leaves so your home will appear neat and well cared for.
TIP! Few things are more enticing to prospective buyers than a freebie or an attractive offer. You've probably seen ads that offer a free appliance with a home purchase.
One of the best ways to spruce up your home before buyers come is to apply a brand new coat of paint. It is something that you can probably do, and it is not an expensive improvement. Painting can make old walls look new. Just be sure that the color you choose is a neutral one, something like off-white.
It is important that you stay patient when you deal with a real estate agent. Sometimes, agents may make recommendations that you can't or don't want to follow, such as remodeling your house to improve its saleability. You might not want to agree with them all the time, but their consultation will help you get your home sold faster.
TIP! If possible, you should sell your house prior to the date you must move by. Attempting to balance two house payments when waiting to sell the old home can cause you to go bankrupt.
For some people, buying real estate is the biggest investment they will ever make. When you try to sell this investment, it is necessary that you know the ropes of real estate sale. By applying the advice from this article, you will improve your chances of making the best deal possible.
This entry was posted in Home Sellers and tagged potential buyers, real estate agent, selling real estate on February 22, 2015 by Gregory Beaty.
Selling any property, whether it be your home or otherwise, is hugely stressful. It may be even more difficult if you are inexperienced, or don't understand what is entailed in the process. Make sure you know something about selling real estate before jumping in. Keep reading to learn more how you can easily sell your property.
There are a lot of different hassles that can come about when deciding to remodel or repair your home, like landscaping, painting, or electronic problems. Nevertheless, neglecting these undertakings can result in a huge load of work that must be dealt with prior to selling a home.
Ask a reasonable price for your home. Research the local market to determine the average price of similar sized homes in your area. Going too high will scare off potential buyers, leaving you to reduce it in a few weeks time.
Lots of people are frustrating by the amount of small tasks that must be done, including maintaining the lawn, doing paint work, and having to do small repairs. Unfortunately, failure to follow through with these updates may ultimately snowball into a major problem that must be addressed before listing a home on the market.
TIP! Be realistic about the value you put on your property. Look at compatible local sales and the values of homes in your area, then set a price which is at the higher end of the average.
Have the air conditioner and heating systems serviced prior to putting the home on the market. Usually, if buyers think they may end up having to sink a lot of money into air conditioning or heater repairs, they may think twice about making an offer on your home.
Understand that real estate sales are seasonal in many places. Using fall decorations can help create a welcoming environment to potential buyers. Keep the fallen leaves cleaned out of your yard; this will be sure to help the late season buyers feel inclined to make an offer.
In certain areas homes sales are higher during more favorable seasons. Using decorations that match the season can increase the welcome feeling potential buyers experience when they view the home. Also, keep yard maintenance up to date, such as removing fallen leaves, so that the buyers are more likely to consider buying it.
TIP! You can make your home feel fresh by simply cleaning the windows, a little thing like this can make all the difference. Clean windows will improve the lighting of your home, and make it look newer.
Increase your chances to sell your home by including extras. You've probably seen ads that offer a free appliance with a home purchase. Few things are more effective in their ability to attract potential buyers. See what's in fashion and affordable, then your closing deal can include it. You'll likely sell your house faster and for more money if you do this.
Washing your windows on both the inside and the outside can make your home look, and feel, bright, airy, and refreshing. Extremely clean windows increase the amount of light that enters the home, making it feel like new. While a potential buyer may not realize the time you dedicated to cleaning the windows, they will definitely feel the effects.
To have buyers picture themselves inside the home, remove your "stamp" from it. For example, you should take down your personal photographs and anything that identifies you as the owner. Prospective purchasers need to picture their own family living in the house instead of yours. You need to de-clutter everything since you want to show them the space, not your stuff.
TIP! Make sure all counters and appliances have clean surfaces. Sweep the floors, vacuum the carpet, and clean the bathroom well.
If you read the proper information and talk to the right people, selling real estate does not have to be overly stressful. The knowledge you've gained will pave the way for you to be successful from beginning the process, to finalizing the sale. The advice from this article will assist you in selling real estate successfully.

Selling a property is a stressful process. It is even more difficult if you are unsure about how to approach it. Educating yourself of the process of selling real estate should be a priority. This article provides valuable guidance that will help you successfully sell real estate. It will make your experience much smoother.
Don't set your price too high or too low, but ask for a price that buyers are likely to accept and which doesn't feel uncomfortably low to you. One way to ensure that you have reasonably priced your home is to use a comparative market analysis. Placing an overinflated value on your house could force you to eventually lower it anyway.
TIP! Even if you still need to remain in your home, empty out as much contents as possible. You'll have less to pack at moving time, and buyers will be able to more easily visualize your house as their new home.
Making inexpensive upgrades to your kitchen can improve your property value and increase the appeal to buyers. You may want to think about updating one appliance to update the look. Islands and hanging storage areas are wonderful and popular upgrades you can do to your kitchen. It's quite expensive to install new kitchen cabinets, but you can update them with a lick of paint.
Prior to listing your home, make sure your air conditioner and heater work by having them both serviced. Replacing or repairing these systems can be quite expensive, and the possibility of incurring such an expense can dissuade potential buyers. Having both units in tip top condition will allay these concerns.
If it's possible, you should ensure you sell your home before having to move. Making payments on two mortgages while you wait for your old house to sell is a dangerous proposition. Give yourself enough time to show the house and find the right buyer.
Making small changes to your kitchen could make your home more attractive and valuable. You might want to switch out one appliance to update the look and provide a focal point. Putting in a wood block in the middle as an island and then hanging storage above it is a great addition to any kitchen. It's expensive to change cabinetry, so try repainting them for a new look.
TIP! Consider adding bonus options with each sale. It is possible that you have seen ads that have encouraged people to buy a home by providing them with appliances for free.
You might find yourself deep in negotiations, depending on the sale price of your home and the market in its area. Keep an open mind and accept a fair offer if you want the home to sell quickly. If you're not rushed to sell your place, wait for an offer you're comfortable with.
Do not limit yourself to only one search avenue when selling real estate. By using a variety of mechanisms, such as the Internet, a real estate agent, and newspaper listings, you will multiply the avenues through which you can attract buyers to property you have for sale. You can't leave any stone unturned if you want to find the best approaches to achieve your goal of selling your property.
Spotless windows will give your house an all around clean and fresh feeling. Clear, gleaming windows enable the sunlight to flood into your home, making it appear freshly renovated. Potential buyers will certainly perceive the change although they won't realize that it was accomplished by two or three hours of window washing.
TIP! If you can, sell your home before moving somewhere else. You can quickly get into financial difficulty if you are trying to make payments on two houses while the old one is still up for sale.
When painting the interior of the home before selling it, don't pick colors just because you like them. You should instead choose traditional, neutral color schemes, such as off-white, eggshell, or taupe. If you repaint your home's inside walls using these colors, your house may seem more appealing to buyers.
You need to be careful when choosing a real estate agent, when you are selling or purchasing a home. Find an agent who knows their job well and has a lot of experience. An experienced and knowledgeable agent will help the process go easier and faster.
Use different strategies to market your property. Look on the internet, in newspapers, or go see an agent to find tools to help you reach out to the buyers in your area to sell a property you own. You should think about all the avenues that are open to help you find the success you are seeking.
TIP! Select a real estate agent wisely when you want to sell or buy a home. Selling and buying property is important, so be sure your agent is well-versed in this field for your sake.

Everywhere you go, some well-meaning soul is sharing their ideas about how best to market and sell real estate. Sometimes it is difficult to determine whether the information provided is of any value to you, and whether or not it is even accurate. If you're striving to find high-quality information, and you want to become a pro on this subject, then you should check out the below article.
You can make your home feel fresh by simply cleaning the windows, a little thing like this can make all the difference. The clear and sparkling sunlight coming in will make the interior seem newer. The benefits will be obvious if you take the time to invest in vigorously cleaning your windows.
Once you decide to sell your property, add some energy efficient updates to increase the interest of buyers. Put in energy star rated appliances and other environmental friendly items. People will love to know they are being 'green' and also saving money on energy bills without having to make the investment in these items themselves.
TIP! Some aesthetic updates in the kitchen can add more than their investing cost to the value of your home. Try switching one appliance for becoming a focal point, so that the look can be updated.
If possible, you should sell your house prior to the date you must move by. Juggling two house payments can financially strap you. Leave yourself plenty of time to find a really good buyer.
If you have chosen to do some inside painting before selling your home, be certain not to pick colors based on your taste. It's best to work with neutral and traditional colors, such as whites, off-whites, eggshell, or taupe. Few things can enhance the appearance of a home like a colorful, fresh coat or two of paint.
TIP! You should make certain that any information that a potential buyer might be interested in is readily available. For instance, have the repair records for work done on your home, as well any improvements you have made.
When you are selling your home, choose a Realtor wisely. Since selling real estate is a big deal, it is important that the agent you choose is knowledgeable. The right real estate agent can smooth the wheels of a transaction that might otherwise be nerve bending.
In order to allow potential buyers to see a reflection of themselves in the home, you should ensure you eliminate all your personal stamps in it. You can accomplish this by eliminating all family pictures and other personal items. Buyers need to see their families in their home, not yours. You can also boost the appeal by eliminating all traces of clutter and personal possessions.
Increase your chances to sell your home by including extras. For example, you might've seen listings in which people include appliances in their home's purchase price. People generally love a great deal, or to get something for nothing, so adding these big ticket appliances into the sale of you home can help attract buyers looking for a great deal. See what's in fashion and affordable, then your closing deal can include it. You'll likely sell your house faster and for more money if you do this.
TIP! If possible, you should sell your house prior to the date you must move by. Juggling two house payments can financially strap you.
Potential buyers will find your home more attractive if you have cleared out the clutter. Not only should closets have a minimum of items in them, the closets should be well-organized and dust-free. There also shouldn't be much in kitchen cabinets, but one psychological trick you can use is buying some gourmet food to make your house seem more classy than it actually is.
Clean up your counter tops and appliances. Make sure the floors are swept and mopped, and that the bathroom is clean. Do not leave your children's toys laying around. Keep laundry hidden and remove clothing from chairs, beds and floors. When the home is clean, potential buyers can give their focus to the positive aspects of your home.
In order to allow potential buyers to see a reflection of themselves in the home, you should ensure you eliminate all your personal stamps in it. You simply need to remove family photographs and other private keepsakes. Buyers need to see their own family living there, not yours. You also need to remove all clutter from the house so that the space itself, not your collection of stuff, is what buyers see.
TIP! You can create a more inviting and attractive atmosphere during an open house by eliminating all signs of clutter. Your closets should be clean and well-organized, with the very minimum of items stored in them.

Las elecciones federales de México de 1994 oficialmente denominadas Proceso Electoral 1993-1994 se llevaron a cabo el domingo 21 de agosto de 1994, y en ellas fueron elegidos a nivel federal:

 Presidente de la República. Jefe de Estado y de Gobierno electo para un periodo de seis años no reelegibles en ningún caso, y que comenzó su gobierno el 1 de diciembre de 1994. El candidato electo fue Ernesto Zedillo Ponce de León.
 96 Senadores. Miembros de la cámara alta del Congreso de la Unión, 3 senadores por cada una de las 32 entidades federativas, electos por el principio de mayoría relativa (2 por entidad) y por la primera minoría (1 por entidad) . Los senadores son electos de manera directa por un periodo de seis años que comenzó el 1 de septiembre de 1994.
 500 Diputados Federales. Miembros de la cámara baja del Congreso de la Unión, 300 elegidos de manera directa por cada distrito uninominal y 200 elegidos indirectamente a través de un sistema de listas nacionales por cada una de las 5 circunscripciones en las que se divide el país, todos por un periodo de tres años, que comenzó el 1 de septiembre de 1994.

Contexto
Las elecciones se llevaron a cabo en un ambiente político tenso tras el alzamiento del Ejército Zapatista de Liberación Nacional (EZLN) el 1 de enero de ese año en Chiapas. La insurgencia golpeó gravemente la imagen que el Gobierno quería retratar de un país desarrollado y avanzado, y puso de relieve los efectos negativos de las reformas neoliberales promulgadas por el gobierno de Carlos Salinas de Gortari.

En los últimos seis años, el Partido Acción Nacional (PAN), de oposición de derecha, había ganado muchas elecciones estatales y era visto como un serio aspirante a la presidencia en 1994. Por otro lado, el Partido de la Revolución Democrática de izquierda (PRD), si bien construyó una amplia base social, no logró ganar ninguna gobernación estatal, lo que sus líderes atribuyeron a la represión y el fraude electoral del gobierno federal controlado por el PRI.

Campaña

Nominaciones

Luis Donaldo Colosio obtuvo la candidatura presidencial bajo el procedimiento informal conocido como "destape", acostumbrado durante los gobiernos priistas en México. En él, aproximadamente un año y medio antes de la fecha de las elecciones, se empezaban a manejar en los medios de comunicación los nombres de quienes podían obtener la nominación del PRI, todos pertenecientes al gabinete del presidente en turno, porque era este quien en realidad designaba directamente al candidato a través del mecanismo conocido como dedazo. Durante casi sesenta años, al tratarse de un sistema prácticamente unipartidista, al "destapado" se le consideraba como el nuevo presidente y la campaña se afrontaba como un mero trámite. Ello explica parte del gran daño sistémico que el atentado causaría al régimen político mexicano: aunque ya en 1988 se había presentado un proceso electoral lo suficientemente competido que incluso se presume fue fraudulento, Colosio era visto como el sucesor de Carlos Salinas.
El "destape" de 1993 cumplió puntualmente con todas las reglas no escritas: el PRI anunció el apoyo de los sectores obrero, campesino y popular a favor de Colosio, secretario de Desarrollo Social, el 28 de noviembre de ese año. Aunque se manejaron varios nombres más, se considera que los otros precandidatos "finalistas" fueron Pedro Aspe Armella, secretario de Hacienda (SHCP), y Manuel Camacho Solís, titular del Departamento del Distrito Federal (DDF). En los reacomodos políticos posteriores a la designación, Aspe continuó en la SHCP; Camacho renunció al DDF en represalia por no haber obtenido la nominación, aunque luego aceptó hacerse cargo de la Secretaría de Relaciones Exteriores (SRE), y Zedillo fue nombrado por Colosio coordinador de su campaña electoral, en un movimiento operado por José María Córdoba que se vio como un intento de Salinas por imponer su proyecto político. En algunos casos, el candidato presidencial priista nombraba como coordinador de campaña a quien sería su sucesor al terminar el sexenio. Esa regla se cumplió con Carlos Salinas y Luis Donaldo Colosio, quienes nombraron como sus coordinadores a Colosio y Ernesto Zedillo, respectivamente. Aunque existen indicios de que la llegada de Zedillo al equipo colosista fue una imposición de Salinas, este último sostiene que fue el propio candidato quien lo solicitó.

El PAN eligió a Diego Fernández de Cevallos como su candidato a través de una convención interna.

Cuauhtémoc Cárdenas se postuló nuevamente para la presidencia, esta vez como candidato del PRD, partido que fundó en 1989.

Otros seis partidos presentaron sus propios candidatos.

Inicios de campaña
En los primeros meses de la campaña, el candidato del PRI Colosio expresó su descontento con la gestión de su campaña, ya que las encuestas indicaron que su apoyo popular era mucho menor que el de los candidatos potenciales del PRI. La campaña de Colosio carecía de financiamiento y tuvo problemas para lograr cobertura mediática a raíz del levantamiento zapatista en Chiapas. Debido a este mal desempeño, la dirección del PRI consideró reemplazar a Colosio como candidato presidencial. Al mismo tiempo, la popularidad de Camacho iba en aumento debido a su papel de mediador en el conflicto zapatista, y se rumoreaba que podría reemplazar a Colosio como candidato presidencial. En un momento, el presidente Salinas tuvo que decirle a los medios 'No se hagan bolas, el candidato es Colosio'.

El discurso del 6 de marzo
Colosio y su equipo decidieron relanzar la campaña en la ceremonia del 6 de marzo, en un evento de masas en el Monumento a la Revolución. Numerosos analistas políticos afirman, que el discurso que leyó ese domingo significó un punto de ruptura de Colosio con Salinas de Gortari, como una suerte de separación padre-hijo; los más suspicaces, que fue su sentencia de muerte.

Con un componente emotivo inspirado en el «Yo tengo un sueño» de Martin Luther King, ideológicamente el discurso no se alejó de las tesis del liberalismo social esgrimidas por el salinismo desde 1988, enfatizando valores como democracia, reforma política, nuevo federalismo y soberanía. Lo políticamente significativo fue que propuso un distanciamiento del PRI con el gobierno, estableciendo límites constitucionales al presidencialismo dándole más facultades al Congreso de la Unión, lo que significaba una reforma profunda al sistema político e implícitamente criticaba y representaba un rompimiento de Colosio con el régimen que lo había encumbrado.

Aunque es creencia popular que ese discurso le costó la vida, en el pasado Colosio ya había criticado al presidencialismo. En 1990, cuando era dirigente nacional del PRI, durante un evento multitudinario realizado en el Palacio de los Deportes de la Ciudad de México, llamó a "poner punto final a la perversión política de las decisiones cupulares y centralizadas, la imposición y la antidemocracia". En el marco de la 14 Asamblea Nacional de PRI, expresó su deseo de "transformar nuestro partido para que prevalezcan los métodos democráticos, se desechen el autoritarismo, la política burocrática, los dogmatismos y la arbitrariedad".

El 22 de marzo, el propio Camacho manifestó que no le interesaba ser candidato del PRI, sino que se enfocaba en el conflicto de Chiapas. Al día siguiente de la declaración de Camacho, Colosio sería asesinado.

Asesinato de Colosio

A las 5:05 p.m. PST del 23 de marzo, en un mitin de campaña en Lomas Taurinas, un barrio pobre de Tijuana, Colosio recibió un disparo en la cabeza con un Taurus calibre .38 de Mario Aburto Martínez a una distancia de pocos centímetros. Colosio colapsó y fue trasladado de urgencia al hospital principal de la ciudad después de que se cancelaran los planes de llevarlo a un hospital estadounidense. Su muerte fue anunciada unas horas después en medio de informes inconsistentes de testigos. El asesinato de Colosio fue el primer magnicidio ocurrido en México desde el asesinato de Álvaro Obregón en 1928.

El asesinato tuvo un profundo impacto en la opinión pública mexicana, ya tumultuosa por el conflicto en Chiapas.

Persisten varias teorías de conspiración sobre el asesinato, entre ellas que fue orquestado por narcotraficantes. Sin embargo, la teoría más aceptada entre el pueblo mexicano es que fue traicionado por su propio partido y que el asesinato fue orquestado por altos miembros del PRI, incluido el presidente Salinas, ya que Colosio había comenzado a rechazar la agenda política de Salinas.

El asesino, Mario Aburto Martínez
El tirador, Mario Aburto Martínez, fue detenido en el lugar y nunca vaciló en su relato de que había actuado solo. No obstante, muchas teorías aún rodean el asesinato. Las autoridades fueron criticadas por su mal manejo de Aburto, después de haberlo afeitado, bañado y cortado el pelo de la cárcel antes de mostrárselo a los medios, lo que generó rumores sobre si un hombre que lucía tan diferente al detenido era realmente el asesino. Colosio recibió tres heridas de bala, y nunca estuvo claro si las pudo haber hecho una sola persona o no. El caso se cerró oficialmente después de que varios fiscales lo investigaran, pero después de los muchos malos manejos de la investigación y las versiones contradictorias, la controversia continúa. Aburto permanece encarcelado en la instalación de alta seguridad de La Palma en Almoloya de Juárez.

Selección del nuevo candidato del PRI

El presidente Salinas declaró tres días de duelo nacional tras la muerte de Colosio, mientras que todos los candidatos de la oposición lamentaron el asesinato y pidieron el fin de la violencia política.

Posteriormente, muchos priistas buscaron reemplazar al candidato muerto. Al final, el presidente Salinas eligió a Ernesto Zedillo, quien había sido el director de campaña de Colosio, como el nuevo candidato presidencial del PRI. Zedillo había sido secretario de Educación, un ministerio relativamente sin importancia; había renunciado para dirigir la campaña de Colosio. Zedillo nunca había ocupado un cargo electivo, compartiendo ese rasgo con muchos presidentes anteriores, pero Zedillo no tenía otra experiencia política. Fue percibido como un candidato débil. Se especuló que Salinas deseaba perpetuar su poder como lo hizo Plutarco Elías Calles a raíz del asesinato en 1928 del presidente electo Álvaro Obregón, quien controlaba a los presidentes sucesores.

Debates televisados
Por primera vez en la historia de México, la campaña de 1994 contó con debates televisados entre los candidatos presidenciales. El 12 de mayo, los tres principales contendientes Zedillo, Fernández de Cevallos y Cárdenas participaron en el primer debate presidencial en la historia de México. Una audiencia estimada de 34 millones vio el debate. Las encuestas posteriores al debate indicaron que el candidato del PAN, Diego Fernández de Cevallos, había derrotado a los otros dos candidatos y se había vuelto capaz de derrotar al candidato del PRI en las elecciones.  Una encuesta telefónica realizada por la Oficina de la Presidencia de la República Mexicana días después del debate da cuenta de la amplia percepción popular de la victoria de Cevallos en el debate, así como de la decepcionante participación de Zedillo y la ínfima recepción que tuvo la participación de Cárdenas:

Sin embargo, a raíz del debate Fernández de Cevallos pareció disminuir su presencia mediática, y Zedillo continuó en el primer lugar en las encuestas; por otro lado, las encuestas también indicaron que Zedillo podría ganar con menos del 50% del voto popular, algo inédito para un candidato del PRI (sin contar las polémicas elecciones anteriores en las que el PRI fue acusado de fraude).

Después del debate del 12 de mayo entre los tres principales contendientes, también hubo un debate entre los candidatos presidenciales de partidos más pequeños.

Encuestas

Elección presidencial de 1994
Aunque no se llegó a los niveles de tensión de 1988, la mayoría de los analistas políticos coinciden en que la gente votó por la continuidad del partido en el gobierno como una forma de contrarrestar su miedo a la desestabilización del país después de cinco años percibidos como de progreso en el gobierno de Carlos Salinas de Gortari.

ABSTRACT: The influence of electron exchange on the physical properties of polymers containing nitroxyl radical in their side chains has been studied by ESR, magnetic susceptibility measurement and cyclic voltammetry. ESR study shows that the electron exchange interaction between free radicals bound to a polymer chain is more effective than that between the corresponding monomeric radicals. Magnetic susceptibility (XM) was measured at temperatures between 4K and 273 K. The values of XM for the polymers obey the Curie-Weise Law (XM=c⁄(T−θ)), where magnetic moments obtained from XM show the presence of antiferromagnetic interaction between the nitroxyls of a polymer chain, although the interaction is not large enough to bring about long range ordering in the spin orientation of the nitroxyls. In the corresponding monomers, no antiferromagnetic interaction was observed. Cyclic voltammetry in DMF shows that the electrode process in polymer system is a reversible multiple-electron transfer reaction, where the number of the transfer (np) is 60% of the total free radicals per molecule. A comparison of the shape of the voltammetric response curve in the polymers with that in the corresponding monomers suggests that the interaction between nitroxyl radicals in the polymer is too weak to be reflected in electrochemical behavior.

Q: Finding crash location based on crash dump I have a C# WPF application, and am trying to figure out a way to use dump files to pin-point crash locations with Visual Studio 2010.  I'm using SysWow64\TaskMgr.exe to obtain my crash dumps which hover around 500MB.
Here's my Startup code, which uses Visual Basic workaround to ensure I only have a single instance running.
using System;
using Microsoft.VisualBasic.ApplicationServices;

namespace UselessCrashDump
{
    public class Startup
    {
        [STAThread]
        public static void Main(string[] args)
        {
            SingleInstanceManager singleInstanceManager = new SingleInstanceManager();
            singleInstanceManager.Run(args);
        }
    }

    // Using VB bits to detect single instances and process accordingly:
    //  * OnStartup is fired when the first instance loads
    //  * OnStartupNextInstance is fired when the application is re-run again
    public class SingleInstanceManager : WindowsFormsApplicationBase
    {
        App _app;

        public SingleInstanceManager()
        {
            this.IsSingleInstance = true;
        }

        protected override bool OnStartup(Microsoft.VisualBasic.ApplicationServices.StartupEventArgs e)
        {
            //first launch
            _app = new App();
            _app.InitializeComponent();
            _app.Run();

            return false;
        }

        protected override void OnStartupNextInstance(StartupNextInstanceEventArgs eventArgs)
        {
            //subsequent launches
            base.OnStartupNextInstance(eventArgs);
            _app.Activate();
        }
    }
}

Now inside my application I added a piece of code that will crash it on purpose, after I press a button.  The code looks like following:
private void _crash_Click(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
{
   CrashMe(null);
}

private void CrashMe(string someString)
{
   someString.Split(' ');
}

Sure enough, after I run the exe and click the button the program crashes.  I then obtain the crash dump, open it, and this is what I see:

I was expecting for the code to break at the specific location of the crash.  But instead the crash dump points to the entry point to the program.  This happens for all crashes.  I would like to see exact location of the crash, the way it happens during Debug session.
What am I doing wrong?  The dump file itself seems to be loading the PDB file, at least judging by the output:
'[MyApp].DMP' (Managed): Loaded 'C:\Program Files (x86)\[MyCompany]\[MyApp].exe', Symbols loaded.

It doesn't seem to be loading native symbols, but I figured since it's a managed app, I don't need them:
'[MyApp].DMP': Loaded 'C:\Program Files (x86)\[MyCompany]\[MyApp].exe', No native symbols in symbol file.

A: Taking the dump with task manager at the time of an exception is not very reliable. Try SysInternals ProcDump -e -ma -x "my.exe" "my.dmp" instead or configure Windows Error Reporting to create local dumps (set dump type to 2 / full).
Once you have a good dump, Visual Studio should show something in the field Exception code after opening the dump. I guess that your field looks quite empty at the moment like mine (see screenshot).

If the dump is ok, it should have an exception code inside:

A: First of all your code doesn't have any try catch statements. When your code crashes it is sending the exception to the upper handler. In your code the latest handler is Main void itself so that's why you are seeing that part.
In addition, you don't need Native Symbols. Native Symbols are COM DLL files which you don't need in this example.

A: Found the solution to my problem.  There were actually two issues:
1) Turns out dump files generated using Task Manager do not contain exception information (this is noted in this article: http://blogs.msdn.com/b/debugger/archive/2009/12/30/what-is-a-dump-and-how-do-i-create-one.aspx)
2) To remedy issue #1, I tried using procdump application to obtain my dump after it crashed, but that was also useless, and pointing to code somewhere inside Run().  The fix turned out to be using procdump to launch the application and write the crash dump the moment it crashes.  That finally fixed the problem, and opening the crashdump brought me straight to the offending line of code.  The procdump command I used was:
procdump -e -ma -x dump.dmp "C:\Program Files(86)\My Company\MyApp.exe"


Marisol Morley is a first-generation, born-and-bred New Yorker. She grew up in the heart of the Upper East Side, in a fourth floor walkup, with her parents, two siblings, and one tiny kitchen.
There she learned that limited space was never an excuse for quality or quantity. On any given night, endless tapas, a beautiful Paella and pitchers of Sangria would magically emerge from their small kitchen.
Marisol was five when she asked her mother to teach her to make a cake. Pretty soon she was making meringues, coconut ice cream, Colombian parva cookies and flan.
Twenty-five years, a career in the music industry, and many other jobs later, she went back to her roots. What started as a pastime of making cookie boxes as gifts for friends and family, lead to the birth of Tiny Kitchen Treats.
In 2017, Marisol moved the team into their little bakeshop in Crown Heights, Brooklyn. Even though the kitchen is much bigger nowadays- Marisol still lives on the Upper East side with her husband, their two kids, and her not-so-tiny dream.
Graduating from culinary school as one of the only girls in her class, Loren set out to learn everything she could about the world of food. From working as a chef on the line to starting her own business in her hometown of Charleton, Massachusetts- where she baked up everything from cookies and cakes to muffins and macarons, Loren has a fire few people her age have and a heart as big as her ever-present smile.
We met Loren when Sugar Monster sent out the call for help during the Tiny Monster Harrods Gingerbread Emergency of 2017 (our team of 8 built a 5 ft scaled replica in 3 days). Loren drove 4 hours and came in, guns blazing and we sort of never let her leave.
She is now a Brooklyn girl and mastering her royal icing skills as our head sugar artist. You can find her wearing a tie-dye dachshund t-shirt in 40-degree winter ("It wasn't that cold today), learning the subway system, and using her green thumb to tend to her ever-growing herb garden at home.
When we first met Stephanie, she told us about her crazy Dominican family and her deep and unwavering love of baking. She described, in passionate detail, the laborious process of folding layers of butter and dough to make the perfect flakey croissant and the hard-work it took to start her donut business. We knew right away that this fellow butter lover was the perfect fit for our foodie girl boss team.
This NYC girl graduated from Albany with her geography major and now spends most of her time traveling (read: eating) her way around the globe- noshing on Japanese ramen, enjoying fresh tacos and ice-cold micheladas in Mexico, or hunting down the perfect baguette and beurre in the south of France (hello flight attendant perks).
Even though Steph's career is spent in the sky, she spends her days off on land, here at the shop, cracking us up with her never-ending wit, stories about "runway Jesus", and oh yeah- whipping up dough, frosting, and icing and making sure everything is baked up, "Asi como tiene que ser". Ya tu sabes!
Moni's motto is "eat til your happy" and that sounds just about right to us. This hard-working food blogger spends her days at a marketing agency and her nights and weekends in her home kitchen (and when we're lucky- with us at the shop), whipping up traditional Benghali recipes- both sweet and savory- not only for her close-knit family, but also for the world.
That's right, lucky for us (and for you!), this Queens girl shares her mouth-watering, home-style cooking on her blog, Moni's Kitchen. We keep on hinting that we should have a pot luck, but really we just want to taste everything she makes- and if you check out her stuff, you'll see why.


Interesting thing about science: what is a 'fact' today may be downgraded tomorrow as a 'possibility'. A recent example is of a 2011 study which suggested that certain genes may be responsible for making people susceptible to mesothelioma.
"This is the first study to demonstrate that individual genetic makeup can greatly influence susceptibility to mesothelioma. People exposed to dangerous levels of asbestos or erionite, those with a strong family history of mesothelioma, or those who have been previously diagnosed with a rare tumor of the eye known as uveal melanoma, may benefit from this new discovery," said Joseph R. Testa, Ph.D., Carol and Kenneth E. Weg chair in Human Genetics at Fox Chase Cancer Center.
However, a recent study challenges this finding. According to this study, low oxygen levels in the cells promote the growth of cancer cells rather than gene mutation. Previously, low oxygen levels had been associated with the growth of cancer cells but it was never concluded to be the primary factor.
Ying Xu, Georgia Research Alliance Eminent Scholar and professor of bioinformatics and computational biology, together with a team of scientists conducted the research study.
The researchers analyzed the samples of liver, kidney, lung, breast, ovary, stomach and pancreatic cancers. They used a software program to see if there is any abnormal gene expression. They observed that in all seven cases, there were decreased oxygen levels. This oxygen deficiency interrupted the normal process of conversion of food into energy and allowed cancer cells to reproduce faster than normal cells.
One of the problems faced by doctors is that cancers quickly become resistant to the drugs used to cure them. This new research may explain the reasons for the development of drug resistance and may help in finding better solutions for cure.
There haven't been many definitive answers in the fight against cancer. It is still a mystery for researchers that from a population of people equally exposed to asbestos, why some get it while others don't. Although duration of exposure and the levels of asbestos play an important role, it still doesn't explain the selective infliction of the disease. For example, in certain regions and areas of the world people in specific areas suffer from certain diseases while others in the surrounding areas do not. This indicates the possibility that in these cases genetic mutation may be the reason. While, in many other cases, factors like low oxygen levels may be the driving force.
While new research tries to explain the causes and strives to find a cure, learning about the diseases and the risk factors can help the people who have been exposed, take preventive actions against undesired outcomes. For example, rampant use of asbestos was common in many industries a few decades ago but certain environments/professions put people more at risk than others. These environments/professions include chemical plants, shipyards, construction sites, pipe-fitting work, insulators and boiler-related work.
Are Merchants Offering Daily Deals Against Their Best Interests?


Pretty much any time a movie gets massively popular, studios will instantly start looking at making sequels out of it. In theory, making a sequel shouldn't be that hard: take what was great about the first movie, and make it bigger and better!
In practice though, most sequels end up being cheap cash-ins on a well-known brand, and in the case of these 10 movies, they were so bad they often did irreparable damage to their franchises.
The first two Home Alone movies are some of the most beloved Christmas comedies of all time, and it's easy to see why. Between great performances, genuine Christmas spirit, hilarious lines (I still say "Merry Christmas ya filthy animal" every December), and stellar writing by Breakfast Club director John Hughes, you'd think they'd have known to leave things there.
Unfortunately, Home Alone 3 happened. Hughes returned as the scriptwriter, but literally nobody else from the original production did, and it both looks and feels like the cheap cash grab that it is. For some reason though, Roger Ebert said it was "better than the first one." Gene Siskel nearly fell out of his chair in disbelief.
Okay, I admit it: the first Mortal Kombat movie isn't exactly a cinematic masterpiece. Y'know what it IS though? Well-made, fun as hell, and surprisingly faithful to the video game it's based on. Oh, and let's not forget that freaking awesome soundtrack.
Mortal Kombat: Annihilation on the other hand is just a pile of awful. It has like a 10th of the budget, all the actors have been swapped out, the dialogue is hilariously bad, and so is the acting. It's a great time if you wanna watch a "so bad it's good" movie, but otherwise, stay FAR away.
What do you do when you want to make a sequel to a genuine classic after nearly 20 years and one of its two main actors have both passed? Hire said actor's less-talented brother and make a total rehash of the first movie of course!
The movie finds Jake and Elwood heading out on another "mission from God" to help out their orphanage, but while the first one was fun and exciting, this one ends up being dull, repetitive, and frankly just unpleasant to watch.
The original Highlander was an awesome action movie about immortal warriors fighting each other to claim each other's power, and it had some great performances by Christopher Lambert, Clancy Brown, and Sean Freaking Connery!
The sequel, while it features several of these actors and even adds Michael Ironside into the mix, is so over-acted and terribly written that it feels like Star Wars Episode I when compared to the original. Worst of all, they made the immortals aliens from a planet called Zeist. No, I am not kidding.
Literally every sequel to a Disney movie that wasn't Aladdin.
Before anyone chimes in, the Aladdin sequels were pretty solid. Especially Aladdin and the King of Thieves, which Robin Williams not only came back for, but also featured stars like John Rhys-Davies and Jerry Orbach!
The rest though? Ugh. Whether it's Beauty and the Beast: The Enchanted Christmas, The Lion King 2: Simba's Pride, Cinderella 2, The Little Mermaid 2 or even freaking Peter Pan: Return to Neverland, these sequels do nothing except make their franchises worse.
The original Dirty Dancing pretty much put Patrick Swayze on the map as a leading man, and to this day it's one of the biggest and best-selling dance movies of all time. Seriously, it made $253 million on a budget of only $3 million!
The studio didn't believe in the original before it came out, but after seeing THAT kind of money, they believed in it enough to make a sequel almost 20 years later, featuring none of the original cast or crew! This went about as well as you expected, and unlike the original, this one completely bombed.
You'd be hard-pressed to find a more exciting 90s action movie than the original Speed. With a simple premise of a bus being wired to explode if its speed drops below a certain point, well-directed action, and solid performances from Keanu Reeves, Sandra Bullock, and Dennis Hopper, the movie still holds up REALLY well today, and you should totally check it out if you haven't already.
Whatever you do though, avoid its sequel like the plague. Between Bullock being the only returning cast member, setting the movie on a cruise ship, and replacing all the fast, tense action with boring moments of nothing happening, it basically has nothing that made the original great.
Did you know Saturday Night Fever got a sequel? And that it was directed by Sylvester Freaking Stallone?! Because I sure didn't until recently!
In theory it shouldn't have been hard to follow up the wonderfully cheesy John Travolta classic with more of what people already liked about it, but Stallone tried a different approach that absolutely failed miserably. The movie's more like a Rocky movie if you replaced boxing with dancing, and it goes right past "lovably cheesy" and into "just plain stupid" territory.
Remember when Jamie Kennedy was a thing? Chances are that, if you were a teenager in the early 2000s, you honestly wish you could forget.
After a decent performance in the Scream franchise, Kennedy somehow landed a few leading roles, and proved once and for all that he wasn't cut out for it. The worst of these was this sequel to the Jim Carrey classic that manages to be neither funny or exciting. Seriously, just watch the original instead.
The two Tim Burton Batman movies are some of the most iconic and awesome superhero movies of all time, but Warner Bros wasn't happy with how dark they ended up being. Enter director Joel Schumacher, whose Batman Forever was definitely funnier and more kid-friendly, but still had some great moments, especially with Jim Carrey as The Riddler.
Batman and Robin on the other hand is considered to be one of the worst movies ever made. Between its absurdly cheesy writing, ridiculous performances by otherwise talented actors, cheap-looking effects, and the fact that the whole thing feels more like a live action cartoon for toddlers than a Batman movie, the movie bombed so hard it nearly killed the chance for more Batman movies in the future.
What's the worst sequel you've ever seen?

JetInspection is Screen's optional built-in inspection unit for variable printing systems, which can be added to Truepress Jet520ZZ. This unit has high-speed cameras that take images of each printed page and the images captured are compared in real-time with the images generated by the RIP, to check for defects. The entire print run can be inspected in this way, which enables the construction of a reliable inline workflow that faithfully reproduces printing data.
The inspection records including defect information, OCR text, and the results of decoding barcodes is sent back to Screen's EQUIOS print management system and instruction can be sent back to the printer to initiate a reprint of any defect pages. The inspection record can all be saved to a CSV file, which allows these details to be used for communicating defects to the postpress system so the equipment's controller knows which pages need to be rejected.

3) The circle C1 touches the circle C2 internally at P. The centre O of C2 is outside C1. Let XY be a diameter of C2 which is also tangent to C1. Assume PY>PX. Let PY intersect C1 at Z. If YZ = 2PZ, what is the magnitude of angle PYX in degrees?
This is an AMC 10 problem. I'll quickly go through the solution here.
This is a pretty decent manipulation problem.

Neighbor Nancy Nearing shared this spiral bracelet with our coffee group and it brought smiles all around.
Nancy's bracelet is a combination of what she learned from Kim Korringa's scrap tutorial and Maggie Maggio's flattened split rings (see videos here and here). The piece started with Nancy's scraps.
The mod look of this virtual collaboration takes the ideas in a different direction. Mixing and matching ideas keeps our community evolving.

Rawalpindi (Agencies): The incoming US chargé d'affaires to Pakistan Ambassador Paul Jones on Thursday acknowledged Pakistan's contributions in preventing conflicts in the region, according to the Inter Services Public Relations (ISPR).

A kitchen table in Donetsk, on 26 August, a day on which several districts of the city came under artillery fire from government troops.
Protests in February had toppled Ukrainian leader Viktor Yanukovych from power, and installed the pro-European Petro Poroshenko as president. Separatists in the largely Russian-speaking east of the country demanded greater autonomy and stronger links with Russia.
In April, rebels seized government buildings and established self-proclaimed people's republics in the eastern regions of Donetsk and Luhansk. Pro-Russian separatists in Donetsk later asked Moscow to deploy troops in the area and consider absorbing eastern Ukraine into Russia. Clashes between government and separatist forces over the ensuing weeks resulted in heavy casualties on both sides. Russia conducted a number of military exercises near the Ukrainian border, while Ukraine and NATO officials accused Russia of arming the rebels and invading Ukrainian territory with military units and personnel, a claim that Moscow denied.

The son of an Ulster bishop, Montgomery was decorated for gallantry as a young officer when he was wounded early in the first world wa. When I met Hamilton in the documents department of the Imperial War Museum a year or two ago and asked him what he was up to, he replied that he was at work reducing the massive three volumes of his official biography, published in 1981, 1983 and 1986, to one. Having, as he well knew, criticised them at the time as far too long and detailed, I jocularly remarked that he would find it difficult and wished him luck in the task.

Nigel Hamilton and Alistair Horne have placed two more entries in the burgeoning library of World War II historiography as we celebrate the Air Force's 50th anniversary. Both authors took as their subject a man who perhaps was the Allies' most controversial general officer.

Nigel Hamilton's award-winning Monty trilogy was hailed in both Britain and the United States as an extraordinary achievement, "magisterial in its shape and scope, brilliantly woven, and a joy to read.

With access to the Field Marshal's private papers, including his letters, diaries and military records, Nigel Hamilton has delved into the heart and soul of the man who, though vain and difficult, was driven by a determination to spare men's lives by insisting on proper planning and rehearsal.

Depending on your viewpoint--and nationality Monty was either a brilliant strategist and tactician or a dithering dolt that couldn't pull of operation Market-garden in spite of all the manpower and supplies sent his way. The truth, as it always is, is far more nuanced and complicated. What is for certain is that Monty's career is worth reflection and study, including his foibles and frailty. A marvelous book on a very complicated British General and hero of WW 2.
Thordigda
Gen. Bernard Montgomery was a very skilled and competent army commander. He spearheaded The british portion of the D-Day landings in 1944. But in my view, Gen. Montgomery was fighting the First World War all over again. He was not a master of mobile warfare, which was a hallmark of the second war. He seemed to prefer the set piece type of battle. I believe this is the type of battle he fought at El Alamien and in Normandy. I don't think he can be placed in the same league as Gen. Rommel or Gen. Patton. Both of these men utilized mobility to its fullest. Nonetheless, Gen. Montgomery must be considered one of history's great military commanders. JRV
Uaha
Very interesting book; Having read most of my WWII history from either the perspective of Churchill or the American's, I decided I needed to know more about Monty; this is clearly a more Anglophile view. There are three main themes in this book. First; Monty was a genius of military strategy, the development of then new mechanized tactics including the integration of air, and motivating subordinates, particularly reviving 8th Army after it was both defeated and demoralized by Rommel. Conversely, he was impossible with his superiors and often his own worst enemy (impossible with his family as well). The second theme is a scathing perspective of Eisenhower and Bradley. The critique of Eisenhower is his unwillingness or inability to make decisions or set priorities, allowing things to go off the rails, Especially his decision not to go to Berlin, waiting for the Russians. Interesting Monty and Bradley initially had an excellent relationship that disintegrated during the Battle of Bulge, becoming petulant over personality more than facts. Third, the shift of power or influence from the British to the Americans as US personnel and equipment dominated, and the dilution of strategy that resulted. Agree or not, its a fascinating perspective.
Zieryn
Book is a very complete bio of Monty. It even goes into his family history including mini bios of his grand parents. Lots of primary source material (personal letters) and the author tries to convey the real feelings and motivations of the man from childhood onward. Only downside, though it's an easy read, the style of writing is rather dry and one may have trouble keeping interested. I still would reccomend it for anyone wanting to low more about Monty's life AND motivations.
Kulalas
As described+++++++AAAAAAA+++++++Will purchase other books from this author. Great facts and many details that I was not aware of before.

Dow Ends Down 220, Nasdaq Falls 56

Dow Ends Down 220, Nasdaq Falls 56 Mon Feb 4, 5:36 PM ET
By LISA SINGHANIA, AP Business Writer
NEW YORK (AP) - New questions about accounting practices at Tyco and Enron provoked a broad selloff on Wall Street Monday as investors grew more doubtful about the honesty of corporate bookkeeping in general. The Dow Jones industrials tumbled more than 200 points in a decline that accelerated late in the session.
Analysts said investors were concerned that other companies might have used the same kind of accounting methods as Enron and Tyco. Amid weak corporate earnings forecasts and concerns that prices are already too high, the news made stocks even less appealing.
"There's no trust out there right now. It's a question of which stock do you have in your portfolio that could be the next problem ... so why be invested?" said Barry Hyman, chief investment strategist at Ehrenkrantz King Nussbaum.
The Dow closed down 220.17, or 2.2 percent, to 9,687.09, giving back much of the rebound last week that followed a similar drop on worries about Tyco and Enron.
Broader stock indicators also fell, with technology issues particularly hard hit. The Nasdaq composite index lost 55.71, or 2.9 percent, to 1,855.53. The Standard & Poor's 500 index was off 27.76, or 2.5 percent, at 1,094.44.
The selloff extended what has so far been a disappointing year on Wall Street, with investors concerned about the economy and worried that the problems that brought Enron down are not isolated. Investors are growing skeptical about the accuracy of corporate reports and bookkeeping in general — and fear that more companies are in worse shape than their results suggest.
A report by three Enron board members that said the company deliberately misrepresented its financial condition worsened Wall Street's mood, as did former chairman Ken Lay's decision not to testify before a congressional committee. A Senate panel was expected to decide Tuesday whether to issue a subpoena.
Tyco International tumbled $6.96, or 19 percent, to $29.90 on a Wall Street Journal report that it spent about $8 billion in the past three fiscal years on more than 700 acquisitions that were never announced to the public. Standard & Poor's and Fitch also downgraded some of their ratings of Tyco debt and expressed concerns about the company. The company denied that its bookkeeping practices were improper.
Investors also sent Williams Cos. down $2.64, or 14 percent, to $16.36 after the company said it is prepared to sell more assets and issue more stock to keep its credit rating. In the last week or so, questions have been raised about Williams' obligations to its former telecom subsidiary, the Williams Communication Group, which is facing financial problems. Williams Communications lost 42 cents to $1.
The selling spread to other telecommunications companies, including AT&T Wireless, which fell 94 cents to $10.12. Its former parent company, AT&T, fell $1.03 to $16.30.
WorldCom fell $1.48 to $8.13, a 15.4 percent drop, on rumors the company might have to write down some of its assets to reduce debt.
Financial stocks were weak, too, reflecting concerns that their lending practices would make them vulnerable should companies start revising balance sheets. American Express lost $1.68 to $33.42.
Even companies not under particular scrutiny suffered. General Electric dropped $1.85 to $35.00.
Among tech issues, Ciena dropped $1.88 to $10.12 on concerns the optical networking industry will take time to recover. The sector is considered to be overpriced by some, making it more vulnerable to selling when investors are worried about future returns.
"I think it's become more of a 'Sell now, ask questions later' market until people feel more confident about earnings," said Tom Galvin, chief investment officer at Credit Suisse First Boston.
Declining issues led advancers more than 2 to 1 on the New York Stock Exchange. Volume came to 1.42 billion shares, more than the 1.38 billion reported Friday.
The Russell 2000 index lost 9.95 to 470.09.
Overseas, Japan's Nikkei stock average lost 1.6 percent. In Europe, Germany's DAX index slid 2.20 percent, Britain's FT-SE 100 dropped 0.4 percent, and France's CAC-40 fell 1.3 percent.

The dotcom fiasco got people thinking that stock was supposed to rise sharply, enabling investors to cash out with big profits in short periods of time. In reality, businesses who provide a quality product do not have sudden, extrme increases in stock value. Too many people have been brainwashed by the dotcom craziness, and assume a lot of things that have no bases in reality. They also are products of the commercialization, where they don't do any thinking for themselves, they don't want to do the work entailed in researching a company, they rely on "advisors" to do it for them.
As was stated this past weekend by one advisor who saw big flaws in Enron early last summer. He worded his advisory about Enron in such a way that people needed to read between the lines to get his drift. He said no advisors would publicly denounce any stock because that in itself could drive the value into the ground, whether it deserved it or not. So basically, you will never get negitive projections on any stock, you have to "read" their subtle advise against them. No way for the public to ever get a warning, and stocks are usually hyped up beyond their real value, so investing in todays world is a blind gamble.
And we are supposed to privatize Social Security? The congress decemated the safeguards with legislation in 1995. It is not within the realm of possibility that Enron executives have done nothing illegal. This is because the congress relazed the laws and rules to the point where the actions taken bu Enron (and don't kid yourself-thousands of other companies) took advantage of the laws to their won advantage. We now have a stock market that is built on falsehoods, there is no way to know which stocks hold true value and those who's value is based on nothing but hot air.

I am board-certified in internal medicine, and my primary focus is the high quality and compassionate medical care of hospitalized patients at Buffalo General Medical Center (BGMC). Because my entire day is devoted to hospitalized patients, I am readily available to my patients and their families. The time I spend with my patients gives me a great deal of experience in the unique aspects of my patients' needs during their hospital stays, which helps me deliver the best possible medical care. In addition, by practicing evidence-based medicine, I bring prompt and complete attention to all my patient care, including diagnosis, treatment and management. I also collaborate, coordinate and communicate with all physicians and health care professionals caring for hospitalized patients, all of which fosters excellent patient care.
I am responsible as well for ensuring the safe transition of patient care both within the hospital and from the hospital to the community. My oversight of safe patient transition may include patient care in post-acute care locations that facilitate continued patient recovery such as inpatient rehabilitation facilities and skilled nursing facilities.
My current research interest is in seeking to understand the significance of thrombosis in cancer patients.
