  • 30 Rock: Complexity, Metareferentiality and the Contemporary Quality Sitcom
    30 Rock: Complexity, Metareferentiality and the Contemporary Quality Sitcom Katrin Horn When the sitcom 30 Rock first aired in 2006 on NBC, the odds were against a renewal for a second season. Not only was it pitched against another new show with the same “behind the scenes”-idea, namely the drama series Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip. 30 Rock’s often absurd storylines, obscure references, quick- witted dialogues, and fast-paced punch lines furthermore did not make for easy consumption, and thus the show failed to attract a sizeable amount of viewers. While Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip did not become an instant success either, it still did comparatively well in the Nielson ratings and had the additional advantage of being a drama series produced by a household name, Aaron Sorkin1 of The West Wing (NBC, 1999-2006) fame, at a time when high-quality prime-time drama shows were dominating fan and critical debates about TV. Still, in a rather surprising programming decision NBC cancelled the drama series, renewed the comedy instead and later incorporated 30 Rock into its Thursday night line-up2 called “Comedy Night Done Right.”3 Here the show has been aired between other single-camera-comedy shows which, like 30 Rock, 1 | Aaron Sorkin has aEntwurf short cameo in “Plan B” (S5E18), in which he meets Liz Lemon as they both apply for the same writing job: Liz: Do I know you?

One’s first impression may be of size and distance—broad valleys rimmed by mountain ranges, with a huge sky arching over all. However, a closer look reveals that, beneath the broad brush strokes, this is a land of astonishing variety. For example, it is comprised of several kinds of desert, year-round flowing streams, and sky island mountain ranges.

    Arizona Geological Society Digest, Volume XII, 1980 261 Thesis and Dissertation Index of Arizona Geology to December 1979 From The University of Arizona, Arizona State University, and Northern Arizona University compiled by 1 Gregory R. Wessel Introduction This list is a compilation of all graduate theses and dissertations completed at The University of Arizona, Arizona State University, and Northern Arizona University concerning the geology of Arizona. The list is complete through December 1979. To facilitate the use of this list as a reference, papers are arranged alphabetically into five sec­ tions on the basis of study area. Four sections cover the four quadrants of the state of Arizona us­ ing the Gila and Salt River Meridian and Base Line (Fig. 1), and the fifth section contains theses that pertain to the entire state. A thesis or dissertation that includes work in two quadrants is listed under both sections. Those covering subjects or areas outside of the geology of Arizona are omitted. This list was compiled from tabulations of geology theses graciously supplied by each university. Although care was taken to include all theses, some may have been inadvertently overlooked. It is hoped that readers will report any omissions so they may be included in Digest XIII. Digest XIII will contain an update of work 114 113 112 III 110 I 9 completed at Arizona universities, as well as a 37 list of theses and dissertations on Arizona geol­ ogy completed at universities outside of the state. Grateful acknowledgment is made of the assist­ 36 ance of Tom L. Heidrick, who inspired the pro- N£ ject and who, with Joe Wilkins, Jr.

  • Tucson and Sabino Canyon for Many Years My Business Travel Took Me to Tucson, Arizona
    Tucson and Sabino Canyon For many years my business travel took me to Tucson, Arizona. One of my favorite places in Tucson was to visit when time permitted the Sabino Canyon Recreation Area. The canyon provides an opportunity to hike, picnic or just enjoy the desert scenery. Tucson and Sabino Canyon both have had an interesting historical background. Archaeologists tell us that 12,000 years ago American Indians lived in the Tucson area in the Santa Cruz River Valley. The Hohokam Indians lived there for over 1,000 years beginning in 450AD. They inhabited the Northern Mexico to Central Arizona area. Hohokams used irrigation methods to produce agricultural goods, however their disappearance may have been caused by a lack of food and a change in weather patterns that included both droughts and flooding. <southernarizonaguide.com> Spanish explorers such as Álvar Núñez Cabeza de Vaca, Fray Marcos de Niza, and Francisco Vásquez de Coronado came to Arizona during the 16th century. Some were looking for gold as they traveled from Mexico City. The Zuni Indians were living in the region. <southernarizonaguide.com> During the 17th century, missionaries such as Jesuit Father Eusebio Francisco Kino interacted with the Pima Indians. The Pima Indians had a well‐developed irrigated settlement that they called T'Shuk‐sohn (how Tucson got its name). It meant "Place at the Base of Black Mountain" (later known as Sentinel Peak and now “A” Mountain) which was created by University of Arizona students in 1905 (founded 1885). <southernarizonaguide.com> <cals.arizona.edu> The 18th century was beset with Indian revolts.
