16 years ago a nonprofit, the Asociacion de Empresarios Mexicanos (Association of Mexican Entrepreneurs or AEM), was launched in San Antonio to help existing entrepreneurs as well as newly arrived Mexican entrepreneurs with support to establish a business as well as to expand and strengthen already existing Mexican-owned businesses.
Mexican business men and women in the U.S. place great value on entrepreneurship because they often encounter barriers for traditional employment. According to the Census Bureau's Survey of Minority-Owned Business Enterprises (conducted every five years), 10,000 to 12,000 firms have been added to the Dallas/Fort Worth metropolitan area every five years since 1987 thanks in large measure to Mexican Nationals and Business Investors.
Searching for a more secure lifestyle and better economic opportunities, Mexican entrepreneurs are arriving in the DFW area as investors, professionals, service providers and entrepreneurs. To help both existing and newly arrived Mexican businesswomen and men, a chapter of the nonprofit AEM, headquartered in San Antonio, is opening a new chapter to serve the needs of these entrepreneurs.
"Our mission is to serve as a bridge our members can use to more quickly understand and adjust to American culture and to learn how to do business in the U.S." says Eduardo Bravo, AEM's Chairman of the Board. "On the other hand, we're also here to help Americans who want to learn to do business in Mexico and with Mexican Nationals living in the U.S."
"We represent the epitome of NAFTA," Bravo says. "Today's Mexican entrepreneurs are educated, have high incomes, are investors, and own and operate businesses in the U.S. and Mexico, creating jobs and opportunities for people in both countries."
A meeting to officially launch the new Dallas/Fort Worth Chapter of AEM will be held from 11:45 a.m. to 1:30 p.m., Wednesday, Oct. 10, at the Anatole Hotel (Coronado Salon) at 2201 North Stemmons Freeway in Dallas.
Key speakers include Juan Carlos Cue Vega, General Consul of Mexico; Victor Almeida, president of Interceramic Tile and Stone; Eduardo Bravo, AEM Chairman of the Board; and John Williams, president of the AEM Dallas/Fort Worth Chapter.
The meeting is open to the public. Individual tickets for non-AEM members are $35; a table of ten for AEM members is $275; a table for ten of AEM non-members is $500. Reservations can be made at www.awmevents.org or by calling Carlos Nunez at 214-418-6671.
Bravo says, "All who attend AEM's launch in Dallas/Fort Worth will benefit from learning how AEM helps Mexican entrepreneurs improve their business practices; establish mentor relationships with already successful businesswomen and men; get involved in the community and generate positive exposure; organize trade missions to develop international business opportunities; and plan and implement cultural and sporting activities that strengthen ties between Mexico and the U.S.

Saga of the Unwritten War Diary by Salvatore Robert Froio
2012-10-09
The inspiration to Salvatore Robert Froio's latest novel comes from an actual experience he had when he was nine years old. He watched the troop trains go by on the outskirts of Boston, bringing back soldiers from the Second World War. It was exiting to pick up the souvenirs that the troops threw to the kids from the train. Many years later, after serving in the military, he came to a conclusion that there are no winners from wars, only losers.
The story begins just before the First World War in Germany. We follow Siegfried immigrating to the U.S. where he starts his ...
How BYOD Could Affect Business Network Security
2012-10-09
It's obvious that there are significant cost savings associated with employees using their own smartphones, tablets and laptops for work. However, the downsides are numerous and worth considering says Dominic Jones of Barton Technology, http://www.barttech.co.uk, "by not having to buy smartphones, laptops and tablets, the hardware costs are significantly reduced and, in this economy, that's a strong incentive for many companies. From a logistics point of view, a multitude of devices are hard to support and manage, as you often can't make the same app work on all platforms."

Why wine and tea pair so well with a meal: It's all in the mouthfeel
2012-10-08
Of course a nice glass of wine goes well with a hearty steak, and now researchers who study the way food feels in our mouths think they may understand why that is: The astringent wine and fatty meat are like the yin and yang of the food world, sitting on opposite ends of a sensory spectrum.
The findings, reported in the October 9th issue of Current Biology, a Cell Press publication, offer a whole new definition of the balanced meal. They also offer a new way of thinking about our eating habits, both good and bad.

Sinusitis: Leaving a bad taste in your mouth
The immune system protects the upper respiratory tract from bacterial infections, but the cues that alert the immune system to the presence of bacteria are not known. In this issue of the Journal of Clinical Investigation, researchers led by Noam Cohen at the University of Pennsylvania demonstrated that the bitter taste receptor T2R38 regulates the immune defense of the human upper airway. Cohen and colleagues found that T2R38 was expressed in the cells that line the upper respiratory tract and could be activated by molecules ...

Endotrophin links obesity to breast cancer progression
2012-10-08
Fat cells (adipocytes) surround breast tumors and contribute to tumor growth by expressing factors that aid oncogenesis. Col6 is a protein that is highly expressed in adipocytes and its expression is further increased in both obesity and in breast cancer cells. In this issue of the Journal of Clinical Investigation, Phillip Scherer and Jiyoung Park of the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center report that a portion of the Col6 protein, known as endotrophin, alters the tumor environment to promote tumor growth and metastasis in mice. Mice with reduced endotrophin ...
Use of fresh red blood cells for transfusions for premature infants does not improve outcomes
2012-10-08
CHICAGO – Among premature, very low-birth-weight infants requiring a transfusion, use of fresh red blood cells (RBCs) compared with standard RBC transfusion practice did not improve clinical outcomes that included rates of complications or death, according to a study in the October 10 issue of JAMA. The study is being published early online to coincide with its presentation at the AABB (formerly the American Association of Blood Banks) Annual Meeting.
"Although RBC transfusions are used routinely in acutely ill patients, including those in neonatal intensive care units, ...
