There is no “I” in team, as Lance Armstrong noted via Twitter this week in a missive aimed at teammate and Tour de France winner Alberto Contador, but there is in acrimony. . . .
We’ve not seen the last of Brett Favre, who will be featured in an upcoming TV commercial poking fun at his now legendary indecisiveness as he waffles over a big-ticket purchase. . . .
The Minnesota Vikings probably won’t find it amusing. . . .
Was it a Bush Push — figuratively, not literally — that led to Reggie Bush’s split with Kim Kardashian? . . .
Kevin Provencher, a now-suspended New Hampshire Union-Leader sportswriter who was charged this week with running a prostitution ring, was a beat reporter who covered the Manchester Monarchs, the Kings’ American Hockey League affiliate. . . .
The researchers also tugged on the two ends of a DNA molecule after transcription to see what had happened to the nucleosome. They found that the nucleosome was frequently ejected from the DNA because the tension prevented the DNA from forming loops that would have allowed the nucleosome to skip over Pol II.
“We found that even a very small amount of tension in the DNA – 3 to 5 piconewtons – during transcription results in Pol II removing the nucleosome from DNA like a pair of wire strippers,” Hodges said. “It’s very likely that the DNA in our bodies is very taut at some places and loose in others, so we think it’s possible that the cell uses tension in the genome to alter the dynamics of nucleosomes in certain genes.”

Police warn teenagers on paid dates they risk jail
Hongkong: Police have warned teenagers they risk being jailed for soliciting for prostitution if they arrange to go on paid dates over the internet, a media report said yesterday.
His latest, Traveling Light, plays through August 9 in the astonishingly beautiful rooms and
courtyards of the old San Francisco Mint. You should not miss it. From the
press release, and from seeing an early rehearsal with hints of lighting and
minimal costumes, the piece will be dreamy, alarming, sensuous, and beautifully
danced. The Mint itself represents everything Goode is trying to dismantle
– the alluring hope of achieving impregnable safety and success. Traveling
Light is about being dis
established, about being out in the cold: living
amidst insecurity of all kinds, financial, familial, and of finding emotional,
sexual familiarity in new places.
Insecurity is one of Goode’s great themes, which he’s dealt
with directly and indirectly over the years – most explicitly in Convenience
Boy, which was about the homeless
prostitutes of Polk Gulch who’d been cast out by their families, and now had
only their bodies to call home, and even those had to be rented out
temporarily, for food. The threat of being disowned is one of the most serious
that queer people face – what other minority is most in danger in their
own homes? And we’re up against it so young.
SAN FRANCISCO (KGO) — With banks tightening, and credit and jobs hard to come by, more and more people are turning to one of the oldest ways of getting quick cash.
Business is brisk these days at the Pacific Loan and Jewelry shop in San Francisco. While the economy sinks, business there rises. Like pawn shops all over the country, Pacific Loan is getting up to 30 percent more business than last year. It is writing up to 120 loans each and every day, more than the average bank branch.
“People are coming in telling us that they’ve lost their jobs and they’re having hard times. The pawn shop is a source of income, a loan without having to go to a bank,” explained Paula Newhouse at Pacific Loan and Jewelry.
“If people get down to their last source of financing they turn to the pawnshop. It’s an industry that is as old as prostitution itself,” added Michael Krasow.

The recession has been kind to local comics and to the handful of clubs where they perform in The City, with cheap guffaws and ticket deals proving popular with thrifty but jovial locals.
“With the recession, more people are coming out to laugh,” said comic Kevin Avery, who performs in San Francisco.
A new comedy club has announced plans to jump on The City’s joke-telling gravy train.
Holly Horn, a former comic, improv artist, soap opera actress and waitress, is planning to open a comedy club, restaurant and nightclub in the regal Don Lee Building at 1000 Van Ness Ave.
The vacant mezzanine level of the 88-year-old building — at the corner of O’Farrell Street near strip clubs, bars and other late-night lairs — will provide a stage for comics, ventriloquists and other performers, according to Horn. The AMC Van Ness 14 will continue to operate in the building.

If the details reported by the Reno Journal-Gazette are true, then the “Girls Gone Wild” people give fantastic, personalized bribes whenver their boss is locked up in prison. Accoring to info dug up by the Gazette, one deputy got a tv and a h …

Worried residents feared City Council was ready to approve strip clubs in Livermore
Posted: 07/28/2009 04:15:10 PM PDT
LIVERMORE — Contrary to a brow-raising rumor widely circulated last week, there are no plans to open a strip club in Livermore, city council members said Monday.
The news relieved dozens of homeowners, real estate agents and other members of the business community who said they had feared the worst.
The trouble began when residents misinterpreted a council agenda item calling for the adoption of “live adult entertainment” regulations in Livermore.
The measure was totally preemptive — aimed at keeping such establishments in check should anyone apply to set up shop in the city, said officials. They stressed they have received no such application.
Nonetheless, residents barraged council members with storm of emails and phone calls, demanding that they “not approve the business,” council members said.
