Did you hear? An economic boom is quietly and slowly happening in Philadelphia.
"With little fanfare," this report from last weekend says, "Philadelphia is undergoing a revolution powered by the U.S. energy renaissance. Renewed investment and activity in the region's sprawling railway network and aging infrastructure is turning the City of Brotherly Love into a potential energy hub that some believe can rival Houston."
Just this past month daily crude oil output in the U.S. topped 9 million barrels for the first time since March of 1986, and as Patrick Kerkstra wrote in this must-read Philly Mag piece: "The spoils of the Marcellus Shale gas fields will gush into the core of the city and its suburbs through broad new pipelines. Gargantuan processing facilities, built with billions of dollars of global capital, will rise like steel stalagmites along the Schuylkill and Delaware rivers. New factories — lured by the abundant low-cost energy the pipelines provide — will hire thousands of working-class residents to make plastic, steel, cement and countless consumer goods. Air pollution will increase, but so will the local GDP, as energy traders and executives fill up downtown office buildings."
Our city happens to be in the right spot with the right infrastructure. We're a hop and a larger skip away from the shale oil fields of Western Pennsylvania and North Dakota, respectively, and located smack in the middle of the populous and energy-hungry East Coast. There are thousands of acres of industrial space along both rivers just waiting to be built and re-built. There are huge refineries already in operation near the airport and in Marcus Hook and other refineries and holding facilities in Trainer and Hunting Park. We've got the right rail connections and large ports. We've even got Patti Labelle, and she's a national treasure.

McMeniman ready for Wallabies
March 31, 2013

Hugh McMeniman is poised to cap his comeback to Australian rugby with Wallabies selection against the British & Irish Lions, Western Force coach Michael Foley believes.
McMeniman has made a huge impact at the Force since he returned to Australia after three years in Japan, and he was superb again in his side's 23-19 Super Rugby loss to New South Wales Waratahs in Sydney. "He's massive," Foley said. "I thought he was the best player on the field today. Apparently he got Man of the Match, and I thought that's pretty fair." McMeniman, 29, threw his two-metre frame into everything against the Tahs, but Foley said he'd been doing that all season for the Force.
"Look, he has the nickname 'Madness' for a good reason," he said. "He pretty much goes hard. The difference between what he was like before he went to Japan and now is he's just adopted all the little things around his preparation that makes him incredibly professional. He's a really good example amongst the squad - very humble, very quiet, ticks all the boxes during the week - and then just rips in like that. With guys like Hughie and Hodgso [captain Matt Hodgson] setting examples, there's a lot of growth with the young guys. You can see where the team's going to go."
Foley is convinced McMeniman is heading back to the Wallabies to add to the 21 Tests he played as a Queensland Reds lock before heading to Japan in 2009.
"He's just got to keep knocking out what he's doing and I think he'll be recognised," Foley said. "He was pretty outstanding out there today against a Wallaby pack. But he's got to keep playing well because there's going to be a lot of competition. Obviously with the Lions coming around so rarely, guys are going to accelerate through the back end of the competition to try and chase those spots."
Western Force dominated the game everywhere bar the scoreboard (video available only in Australia)

I bought this when I got pregnant and was told to stop using my Differin retinoid cream. I wanted a non-teratogenic alternative that wouldn't cost an arm and a leg, and there was an article in Allure about the power of AHAs. I hadn't used an AHA cream since the days when they first came out and they stung like a mofo. This has definitely delivered. I use it every other night followed by a vit C cream in the morning, and I noticed a difference in the smoothness/tone of my skin after just a few weeks of use. Non-irritating (but I am used to retinoids). Great product for the price.

A really great AHA serum that received a "BEST" from Paula Begoun. I really like this and feel like when I use in combination with the Olay Pro X Retinol my skin looks lovely and clear and fresh the next day.
I am on my second bottle, however I will not continue to repurchase as I wish to transition to cruelty free products. Derma E does a great cruelty free AHA product.
2 out of 2 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
This is a fragrance-free AHA serum, and for whatever reason, Olay chose to include mica so it looks slightly shimmery in the bottle however this is not very noticeable when applied to skin, if anything, it looks like a slight sheen. I like that it comes in a pump bottle so it is sanitary and easy to dispense the amount you need.
I use this a few times per week, and it provides all the benefits typical of an AHA : smoother skin, helps with any marks, blemishes or hyperpigmentation, can reduce clogged pores, and help with dryness or flaky skin. It's a thin serum and isn't very hydrating, so I would only recommend this to combination, normal or oily skin. Drier skins will probably do better with a cream or more emollient-based AHA such as Alpha Hydrox Enhanced Cream. It comes in a 1.7 oz pump bottle which usually lasts me about 7-8 months so it's a good value and is often on sale. I had no issues with irritation, dryness, peeling or any negative effects.
While I like this serum and it works well for my skin, I will not repurchase because Olay tests on animals, and I don't want to keep buying cosmetics from companies that do. AHA products are widely available from many companies that don't test on animals (for example Alpha Hydrox, PC's).
This was just awful. It went on sticky and left my face feeling so tight. I had to put another moisturizer over it since it felt so tight. It also made me break out and that never happens. I am returning this immediately. Just a terrible product.
Two words: Inexpensive Miracle. This past winter has been so dry mixed with a combination of celiac induced eczema had caused a huge flair up on my cheeks. After the rash finally broke, I was left with a plaque type build up that collected and would NOT come off easily. I couldn't wear makeup since it would collect in the scales, and as much as it would flake, it would not flake OFF, despite my gentle exfoliation efforts.
After using some Avene products for a week to treat my eczema and I knew that any treatment would not sting or further irritate me, I set out on the hunt for a gentle, stable glycolic acid. Thanks to Paula Begoun, she recommended this product as one of the best on the market and the most affordable. She was right. Within 4 days, I noticed a HUGE improvement on my cheeks. The plaque was coming off at night with a gentle washcloth scrub, AND it seemed moisturizing enough. By day 6, my skin was so clear looking that I didn't even need foundation anymore, just a touch of concealer here and there. I used this almost every night and it never once bothered me.
The pump is great, there is not much stickiness to the product, low smell and the price was around $30 Canadian (I got it on sale for $25). Paula advises to keep it in a dark cupboard as the bottle is not dark enough for the solution, so that's what I do.
I would TOTALLY repurchase.
(BTW, the Avene I use for my skin issues is the Xeracalm Balm. Its amazing in itself)

I tried this product because it was on sale for 7 dollars! And omg I am so glad I did. I suffer from acne and acne scarring. I really don't mind the scarring because that's easily fixed with makeup and the majority of the time they fade pretty fast on their own. My biggest issue with my skin is milia. I HATE when my face is so clear but those damn white bumps are all over my face. When I do my foundation it doesn't look as smooth as I want so I decided to try this out. It's been a week and when I wash my face in the morning the milia is just rolling off my skin. This is seriously heaven sent in a bottle. Plus it makes my skin look really soft and even. It also fades my acne scars really well. It's lightweight not sticky, no fragrance. It's great! When I run out I'll have no issue paying full price knowing that this product does work.
3 out of 3 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
Great serum. Sinks into skin so quickly, non-greasy and wake up to skin that looks much brighter. I have sensitive skin and this has not created any problems. I noticed mild peeling on my nose which I suppose proved that the exfoiliating effect was working. Bought this on offer at half the price. I am not sure if I would pay full price when I run out as it is quite expensive. I will wait for it to come on offer again.
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
i initially used this to help combat mini pill triggered cystic acne (thanks progesterone!) it served its purpose for my needs then. having gone off the pill entirely 2 weeks ago, i gave this a whirl all over my face twice a week, at night, on freshly cleansed skin. (tip for those new to such products: do not exfoliate manually before application as it is a chemical exfoliant.) 3 years taking the mini pill ravaged my face. it aged me 10 years, gave me zits, huge pores, i could go on. i thought nothing could help - that time was the only way my skin would return to normal. after 2 weeks of 2x use, my skin is transformed. pores are dramatically reduced, no remnants of cystic acne or any scarring/redness. my porcelain complexion has returned, even, toned, gorgeous. the area around my eyes looks and feels firmer. its as if a fairy godmother came down and fixed my face. i wish i had taken before & after photos because it almost seems unbelievable that such an affordable product can create results like this in such a short time. i had concerns as my skin is very sensitive and reactive. thankfully this has not irritated mine in the slightest, though i do realise others may not have the same results tolerance wise. i have recommended this to several friends and all have reported back to me with enthusiasm, including two grown men.
this is a staple in my evening beauty routine now. the skin tingling took a minute to get used to but the sensation fades quickly. do be sure to use a sunscreen during the day when using this product, as it makes skin more susceptible to sun damage. will definitely purchase again and again.
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
I found a large sample (15 mL) bottle of this at Rite Aid for $10, and I love it. It feels good to apply, and it leaves my skin quite smooth in the morning. I found it gentle enough, even in the wintertime, to use near my mouth and eyes (not as eye cream, but just on the crows-feet area).
The packaging is wonderful. It's an opaque plastic container with a pump that uses every bit up. I ended up repurchasing another small bottle rather than the full-size just because I know I get fickle about using up products, and this way at least what I use will be fresh.
Mostly what I like is that this is a one-step product. It's a treatment that doesn't need to be layered with moisturizer, although you could do that if you wanted. I'm always suspicious of serum + moisturizer regimens because I worry that I'll smear the serum all over the place when I'm applying the moisturizer. Makes more sense to apply one step, to me.
More reviews by Shorthairdontcareee
I had to buy immediately because I love the regular regenerist.
I had a few trouble spots I wanted to get rid of.
The is indeed an elixir, it is not thick or creamy in the moisturizing sense. I usually steer towards those textures because I have very dry winter skin. I never got dry flakes or dry ish skin. I really love this product and will be rebuying again as soon as I can afford :)

I have good information on his life after 1925, but wanted to know if there are any surviving family members that may be able to provide more details about his personal life.
Thank you,
Dr. Jeremy R. Kinney
Curator for Interwar Military Aviation

Integrated Genomic Studies to Discern Tumor Heterogeneity and Prognostic Subgroups in Hepatocellular Carcinoma
Integrated Genomic Studies to Discern Tumor Heterogeneity and Prognostic Subgroups in Hepatocellular Carcinoma Globally, hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) accounts for 70-85% of primary liver cancers and is the second leading cause of male cancer death. Among patients there is widespread tumor heterogeneity, yet only a single FDA-approved therapeutic, sorafenib, for standard of care in advanced HCC. Identifying homogeneous subgroups of patients will allow development of effective treatments targeted to specific pathways that drive poor survival. In this study, I took both a specific and global approach to characterize HCC tumors with poor prognosis. In the specific approach, I focused on serum alpha-fetoprotein (AFP), a diagnostic biomarker for HCC. AFP, normally only expressed in the liver during fetal development, is reactivated in 60% of HCC tumors and associated with poor outcome. Therefore, I hypothesized that AFP+ and AFP- tumors differ biologically. Using microRNA and mRNA microarray-profiling in predominantly Hepatitis B+ HCC cases from Zhongshan Hospital, I found that miR-29 family members were the most significantly down-regulated miRNAs in AFP+ HCC. Moreover, global DNA methylation profiling revealed that increased methylation was associated with AFP+ HCC. Experimentally, I demonstrated that AFP inhibited transcription of the miR-29a/b-1 locus and this effect is mediated through the c-MYC protein. These findings suggest that AFP is a functional antagonist of miR-29, which may contribute to epigenetic alterations and poor prognosis in AFP+ HCC. In the more global approach to clarify tumor heterogeneity, I aimed to integrate data from multiple platforms to define prognostic tumor subgroups. First, we identified the tumor-specific genes in two complementary platforms: Illumina 27k methylation and Affymetrix gene expression. An epigenetic-driven signature was derived from the tumor-specific genes that inversely correlated with methylation. Employing the epigenetic-driven gene signature along with a somatic copy number alteration (SCNA)-driven signature developed by the lab, we found that epigenetic changes drive poor outcome in one subset of patients while SCNA-related changes drive poor outcome in a different group. In summary, I found that HCC tumors could be separated into prognostic subgroups based on AFP level, as well as epigenetic-driven or SCNA-driven genetic changes. Future work will elucidate key signaling pathways activated in each subgroup to better characterize the differences in HCC tumors. Ph.D.
ERRβ Splice Variants Differentially Regulate Cell Cycle Progression
ERRβ Splice Variants Differentially Regulate Cell Cycle Progression Orphan receptors comprise nearly half of all members of the nuclear receptor superfamily. Despite having broad structural similarities to the classical estrogen receptors, estrogen-related receptors (ERRs) have their own unique DNA response elements and functions. In this study, we focus on two ERRβ splice variants, short form ERRβ (ERRβsf) and ERRβ2, and identify their differing roles in cell cycle regulation. Using the acyl hydrazone DY131 (a synthetic agonist of ERRβ) as a tool to modulate endogenous ERRβ function, splice-variant selective shRNA, and exogenous ERRβsf and ERRβ2 cDNAs, we differentiate between splice variant function in cell cycle regulation. We demonstrate the role of ERRβsf in mediating the G1/S checkpoint through p21. We also show ERRβsf is required for DY131-induced cellular senescence. A key novel finding of this study is that ERRβ2 can mediate a G2/M arrest. Furthermore, in the absence of ERRβ2, the G2/M arrest is reversed and ERRβsf now induces p21 and initiates a G1/S arrest. These data imply a potential dominant inhibitory role for ERRβ2 on ERRβsf. Furthermore, we demonstrate DY131 cytotoxic sensitivity is dependent on p53 status. In the absence of wild-type p53 (null or mutated), activated ERRβ2 initiates an apoptotic response. In wild-type p53, ERRβsf induces p21 in a cytoprotective response and the magnitude of cell death is lessened. This study illustrates both novel functions for ERRβ splice variants as well as evidence for splice variant interaction. Ph.D.
Social Isolation Stress, Obesity, and Breast Cancer Risk in Mice
Social Isolation Stress, Obesity, and Breast Cancer Risk in Mice Social isolation is a potent psychosocial stressor and is associated with obesity and increased breast cancer risk and mortality. In this thesis, I investigated the combined effects of social isolation stress and obesity on insulin resistance, mammary tumorigenesis, and the mechanisms involved.; First, I studied the effects of social isolation stress in combination with an obesity inducing diet (OID) on mammary tumorigenesis induced by medroxyprogesterone acetate (MPA) and 7,12-dimethylbenz(a)anthracene (DMBA) in female C57BL/6 mice. Social isolation, with or without OID, increased food intake and body weight, and caused impaired insulin and glucose tolerance. Serum NPY levels were increased only in socially isolated OID fed mice, whilst adiponectin levels were reduced both by OID and social isolation. These changes may have contributed to insulin resistance. Mammary tumorigenesis was significantly higher in the socially isolated OID fed mice than in group-housed obese or control mice. Consistent with a previous study indicating that social isolation does not increase mammary tumorigenesis in p53 knockout mice, we found an increase in p53 mRNA expression in socially-isolated mice that exhibited increased mammary cancer risk. Apoptosis was not altered in these mice, but cell proliferation was significantly increased. Social isolation increased the expression of p53-induced autophagy-linked genes and other genes indicative of autophagy in the mammary gland. In summary, we found that obesity potentiates the effects of social isolation on mammary carcinogenesis, but primarily social isolation induced autophagy and cell proliferation but not apoptosis.; Next, histone deacetylase inhibitor (HDACi) and DNA methyltransferase inhibitor (DNMTi) were administered in drinking water to group-housed or socially-isolated OID fed mice. Insulin resistance and body weight gain were reversed with these inhibitors. However, HDACi/DNMTi treatment did not reverse mammary tumorigenesis and neither did they reverse up-regulation of p53 or alter the expression of cell cycle and cell death genes. Taken together, these data suggest that insulin resistance in obese mice may result from epigenetically-induced changes and therefore DNMTi/HDACi drugs may be useful in preventing weight gain and improving insulin sensitivity, but the increase in mammary tumorigenesis in socially-isolated obese mice is not caused by an increase in DNMT and HDAC activity.

In Vivo DNA Repair Mechanisms and Carcinogenesis
In Vivo DNA Repair Mechanisms and Carcinogenesis The maintenance of the genome is an important barrier to carcinogenesis, and one of the major cellular pathways involved in genome maintenance is DNA repair. There are several types of DNA repair pathways, but one type, the base excision repair (BER) pathway repairs the majority of endogenous DNA. Understanding how repair deficiencies predispose cells to damage accumulation and mutation is particularly important to understanding the carcinogenic process. In the first theme (Theme I) of this work, two types of BER deficiencies are explored. The first study involves inflammation-mediated carcinogenesis and the decrease of BER capacity under inflammatory conditions observed in some studies (Theme IA). The types of lesions repaired by the BER pathway are often the result of inflammatory processes, and, in fact, chronic inflammatory diseases are often pre-malignant conditions and confer high risk for cancer development. This highlights the importance of BER in inflammatory diseases as a critical "tumor suppressor" pathway. In an animal model of inflammation-mediated hepatocarcinogenesis, the Long Evans Cinnamon (LEC) rat, we observed a significant decrease in BER activity in liver tissues during acute hepatitis and determined through extensive gene expression microarray analysis that early carcinogenic changes occurred during acute hepatitis. We hypothesized that decreased BER during acute hepatitis induced oncogenic mutations and pursued the development of an appropriate cell culture model to test this hypothesis. We developed a hepatocyte cell line from the LEC rat during acute hepatitis (LEC-AH) and a tumor cell line from a LEC rat with HCC (LEC-T). The LEC-AH cell line exhibited decreased BER and increased DNA damage, which was consistent with the observations in LEC tissues. Furthermore, we determined that the LEC-T cell line harbored an activating mutation in codon 12 of the K-ras oncogene which was characteristic of deficient BER. The LEC-AH cell line characterization and the mutation observed in LEC-T cells provide an appropriate model in which to perform lesion mapping and establish a link between deficient BER during acute hepatitis and oncogenic mutation. The second study examines the role of mutation site-specific deficiencies in repair of an adduct, 1, N6-ethenoadenine (eA), associated with pre-malignant inflammatory disease and the relationship of sequence-dependent deficiencies to the location and pattern of mutation sites in the tumor suppressor gene p53 (Theme IB). We determined that eA at frequently mutated codons in p53 was dramatically impaired compared to eA at non-mutation sites. We determined the mechanism of slow repair at mutation sites was codon-specific slow turnover of the BER enzyme, N-methylpurine DNA glycosylase (MPG), the enzyme that initates repair of eA. Finally, one of the disadvantages inherent in the study of BER mechanisms is the lack of appropriate in vivo methodology to study the pathway in a physiologically relevant manner. Therefore, the second theme (Theme II) describes the development of a fluorescence microscopy-based technique to monitor interactions between DNA repair proteins and DNA adducts in vivo. We utilized the interaction of a well-known DNA repair protein, human apurinic apyrimidinic endonuclease 1 (APE1) with its substrate, the abasic (AP) site, as a model. The method developed borrowed from techniques generally used to detect protein-protein interactions, such as co-localization and fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET), and was able to reliably monitor functional APE1 interaction with AP-site DNA. Importantly, the method was also able to distinguish specific and non-specific interaction over time. Ph.D.
Regulation of MicroRNAs Targeting the Angiogenic Switch Molecule Fibroblast Growth Factor Binding Protein 1 by Retinoic Acid Receptor Activation
Regulation of MicroRNAs Targeting the Angiogenic Switch Molecule Fibroblast Growth Factor Binding Protein 1 by Retinoic Acid Receptor Activation This dissertation examines the role of retinoic acid receptor activation in the post-transcriptional regulation of a fibroblast growth factor binding protein. Previous work showed that all-trans retinoic acid (ATRA) reduces mRNA expression of the angiogenic switch molecule, Fibroblast Growth Factor Binding Protein 1 (FGFBP1 or FGF-BP), independent of an effect on transcription of the FGFBP1 mRNA. I hypothesized that a retinoid-induced microRNA was involved in FGFBP1 mRNA loss. MicroRNAs (miRs) are 19-22 nucleotide (nt) single stranded non-coding RNAs that post-transcriptionally repress mature mRNA function, thereby reducing expression of their target proteins. The current dogma suggests that miRs canonically bind to the 3' untranslated region (UTR) of mRNA through a 7-nt seed-matched site. However, recent data indicate that miRs may also bind the open reading frame (ORF) of mRNAs. In this dissertation, I show that miR-27b-3p and miR-125a-5p are induced by ATRA and target FGFBP1. Overexpression of miR-27b-3p and miR-125a-5p rapidly reduced FGFBP1 mRNA levels through a target site in the open reading frame of the FGFBP1 mRNA. Both microRNAs showed specificity for regions within the ORF of FGFBP1, suggesting that these microRNAs may also be involved in inhibiting translation of the FGFBP1 protein. Next generation sequencing data from The Cancer Genome Atlas shows that loss of these microRNAs is characteristic of several epithelial cancers, including head and neck, lung, and cervical squamous cell carcinomas, suggesting a tumor suppressor role for miRs 27a-3p and 125a-5p. In total, these data suggest an important regulatory role for miRs 27b-3p and 125a-5p in the oncogenesis of squamous cell carcinomas, through modulation of FGFBP1 expression. Ph.D.
Molecular Modulation of Estrogen-Induced Apoptosis in Long-Term Estrogen-Deprived Breast Cancer Cells
Molecular Modulation of Estrogen-Induced Apoptosis in Long-Term Estrogen-Deprived Breast Cancer Cells Estrogen receptor (ER)-positive breast cancer cell lines have been instrumental in modeling breast cancer and providing an opportunity to document the development and evolution of acquired anti-hormone resistance. Models of long-term estrogen-deprived breast cancer cells are utilized in the laboratory to mimic clinical aromatase inhibitor-resistant breast cancer and serve as a tool to discover new therapeutic strategies. The MCF-7:5C and MCF-7:2A subclones were generated through long-term estrogen deprivation of ER-positive MCF-7 cells, and represent anti-hormone resistant breast cancer. MCF-7:5C cells paradoxically undergo estrogen-induced apoptosis within seven days of estrogen (estradiol, E2) treatment; MCF-7:2A cells also experience E2-induced apoptosis but evade dramatic cell death until approximately 14 days of treatment. Our data suggest that MCF-7:2A cells employ stronger antioxidant defense mechanisms than do MCF-7:5C cells, and that oxidative stress is ultimately required for MCF-7:2A cells to die in response to E2 treatment. Tumor necrosis factor (TNF) family member activation also correlates with E2-induced apoptosis in MCF-7:2A cells; up-regulation of TNFα occurs simultaneously with oxidative stress activation. Additionally, increased insulin-like growth factor receptor beta (IGF-1Rβ) confers a mechanism of growth and anti-apoptotic advantage in MCF-7:2A cells.; Hormone replacement therapy (HRT) is widely used to manage menopausal symptoms in women, and can comprise an estrogen alone or an estrogen combined with a progestin. The Women's Health Initiative demonstrated in their randomized trials that estrogen alone HRT decreases the risk of breast cancer in post-menopausal women, while combined estrogen plus a progestin (medroxyprogesterone acetate, MPA) HRT increases this risk. We sought to elucidate the mechanism through which these opposing effects occur. The data suggests that MPA acts as a glucocorticoid which blocks estrogen-induced apoptosis in long-term estrogen-deprived breast cancer cells thereby increasing cancer risk. Ph.D.
Illness as Discourse Medical Welfare of Egyptian Labor in an Age of Liberalism and Progress (1919-1939)
Illness as Discourse Medical Welfare of Egyptian Labor in an Age of Liberalism and Progress (1919-1939) This thesis is about discourses and practices formulated around health issues of workers in Egypt during the interwar period (1919-1939). It locates working-class illness within three major social transformations: the rise of large-scale mechanized production and its impact on human bodies, the ascendance of Egyptian nationalism, and the major economic adjustment from laissez-faireism to state intervention. This thesis concerns the somatic suffering of workers as a result of the development in modern industrial sectors, and raises the question of who spoke for the bodies of workers; why were these discourses designed; and how did the practices of discourses conversely reshape these tortured bodies? To answer these questions, I seek to explore and understand the emergence of working-class illness as a social problem and the ways in which social elites popularized nationalist ideas and constructed working-class health into a national project during years of rapid economic transformation and state building. Using numerous primary and secondary sources, the pages that followed will look at symbolic systems that nationalist elites artificially designed to incorporate workers into anti-colonial struggles. This thesis also uncovers the enforcement of these strategies, the practices of the state to gradually build a medical welfare system as a rescue operation in order to minimize class antagonism, as well as the agency of medical expertise in the making of a modern interventionist state.

The People Want to Topple the System: An Alternative Narrative of the Arab Uprisings
The People Want to Topple the System: An Alternative Narrative of the Arab Uprisings Since the toppling of Tunisian President Zine El Abidine Ben Ali, a one-dimensional narrative of the Arab Uprisings has become axiomatic in both foreign and Arab spheres. The mainstream narrative paints the movement as one for Western-style democracy and discursively associated economic neoliberalism. This account of the Uprisings not only obfuscates but also undermines the story that was put forth by activists themselves and that resonated so widely with diverse sectors of Arab populations. My thesis explores a narrative of the Arab Uprisings as put forth by activists. It presents and analyzes three demonstrations from Tunisia and Egypt to illustrate how, through their contentious performances, Arab activists attempt to challenge a system of imperial continuity--a centuries-old pattern of political, economic and social relations between foreign actors and the Arab people, and between Arab political elite and populations as a whole. Given the reach and history of this political system, such resistance is not easy. Nor is it straightforward; resistance to such a layered and variegated power formation must be relational. The Arab Uprisings present a dynamic by which actors revolted against local forms of oppression but also consistently reached for repertoires that were regional (rather than purely local) and drew upon networks and strategies that were Arab (rather than merely national). This indicates our need for a more nuanced narrative of how the Uprisings of 2011 constituted an event of Arab history. M.A.
"Building the Earth": Labor Politics, Technopolitics, and Tapline in Lebanon, 1950-1964
"Building the Earth": Labor Politics, Technopolitics, and Tapline in Lebanon, 1950-1964 This project examines the history of the Aramco-owned Trans-Arabian Pipeline, or Tapline, focusing particularly on the history of its operations in Lebanon and labor activism by its Lebanese employees between 1950 and 1964. It applies the framework Timothy Mitchell develops in Carbon Democracy - entailing the analysis of the "chokepoints" created by energy infrastructure - to the particular case of Tapline in Lebanon, while supplementing Mitchell's "technopolitical" theoretical framework with attention to working conditions at Tapline and the particular the demands they made on their American employers. It therefore engages with literature on moral economy, class-formation, and labor politics in colonial and post-colonial settings.; My research revolves primarily around Tapline's management strategies, the Tapline workplace as experienced by its Lebanese employees, Tapline's vulnerabilities to strike action and workers' mobilization, and Lebanese Tapline employees' unionization and participation in a mass strike in 1964. Borrowing from Frederick Cooper's analysis of labor activism in colonial West Africa, I argue that Lebanese Tapline workers exploited Tapline's "chokepoints" to force the company to live up to its promises of meritocracy and welfare for its employees, and thus tried to improve their position within the status quo of their workplace rather than radically alter it.; This project is based on a diverse body of primary and secondary sources. Primary sources include interviews with the former head of the Tapline Laborers' Syndicate, internal documents from Aramco and Tapline, the Pipeline Periscope, an in-house magazine produced by the company for distribution to employees, coverage of Tapline and its employees' labor activism from the Lebanese press, and declassified US government documents. It aims to bring the literatures on the politics of labor and technopolitics into a productive dialogue. It also seeks to develop the historical literature on Tapline, which has received only fragmentary academic attention. M.A.
Developing Renaissance: Nahda Discourse in Jordanian Humanities Textbooks
Developing Renaissance: Nahda Discourse in Jordanian Humanities Textbooks This analysis addresses the subject of nahda, or renaissance, in Jordanian history, civics, religion, and literature textbooks from the 1970s to 2009. "Nahda" is a keyword in the textbooks signifying both the historical period of Arab modernist thought and nationalism in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries and the Jordanian state's present-day national development. The textbooks use the language of nahda to portray the Hashemite king as Jordan's historically qualified and legitimate leader. Nahda operates in nuanced ways across the genres. History and civics textbooks reflect "nahda as national development" in which the Hashemite kings are the primary actors in history and leaders of a comprehensive societal renaissance. Religion and literature textbooks, meanwhile, rely on "nahda as intellectual ideal" in which the state is hesitant to co-opt the ideals of pan-Arab and pan-Islamic unity because they exceed the territorially bounded Jordanian nation-state. These portrayals of nahda in the textbooks are coercive in the sense that they seek to preserve monarchic power by reducing Jordanian citizens to the loyal subjects of a progress-oriented king who not only raises their material well-being, but serves as the model for their civic virtue, tolerance, pluralism, and piety.

From Collective Memory to Nationalism: Historical Remembrance in Aden
From Collective Memory to Nationalism: Historical Remembrance in Aden In Aden, the former capital of the People's Democratic Republic of South Yemen, a popular nationalist movement has emerged demanding a rescinding of the unification agreement that joined north and south Yemen in 1990. This paper explores the way in which history is being remembered, framed, and utilized to create a sense of coherent national identity rooted in historical understandings in Aden. This study draws upon ethnographic research and interviews conducted in Aden, Yemen and analyzes the social, political, and economic forces that have influenced this nationalist awakening. I focus on the concept of collective memory to explore how southerners are framing their understandings of a national past in light of current everyday realities and how new conceptions of Aden's colonial and socialist past are invoking new senses of nostalgia for remembered notions of liberal urban lifestyles. Drawing on theoretical works in the fields of collective memory and nationalism, I also examine the power structures that allow for certain narratives to become accepted while others are silenced, both in the context of a unified Yemen and within the south itself. I attempt to build upon the established link between collective memory and nationalism by exploring not just how collective memory can function as a vehicle for historical reimagining but also the diverse vectors that shape Adeni's national consciousness. I argue that Aden's remembered history has led to a reimagining of national borders and a sense of belonging in the larger Yemeni nation. M.A.
Framing Protest: A Social Movement Analysis of the Jordanian Muslim Brotherhood and Moroccan Justice and Development Party in the 2011 Arab Uprisings
Framing Protest: A Social Movement Analysis of the Jordanian Muslim Brotherhood and Moroccan Justice and Development Party in the 2011 Arab Uprisings This thesis uses social movement theory to examine how the Jordanian Muslim Brotherhood (MB) and the Moroccan Justice and Development Party (PJD) frame their roles in the 2011 Arab uprisings and in the political shifts that followed. My primary theoretical lens is the concept of "framing," a process whereby social movement actors strategically produce and mobilize ideas and meaning for a variety of audiences. My analysis traces how both the MB and PJD departed from the regional trend in 2011 by continuing to articulate reformist rather than revolutionary goals. However the MB used non-institutionalized tactics by participating in street protests and boycotting Jordan's parliamentary elections, while the PJD used more quiescent institutionalized tactics by not participating in street protests and by running in Morocco's parliamentary elections. Building off of the work of Douglas McAdam (1996), I argue that the MB and PJD's choice of goals (reformist vs. revolutionary) and tactics (institutional vs. non-institutional) constitute a core signifying matrix that activists consciously deploy in order frame the nature of the movement to both the regime and the public. Each movement's choices on where to locate itself in this signifying matrix have been significantly impacted by its history, the regional context of the Arab uprisings, the institutional context of electoral authoritarian monarchy, and the specificities of national politics. Moreover, these framing choices were not self evident; they developed over time in response to changing events, prompted intense internal contestation, and exhibited a complex, nonlinear relationship with ideologies both internal and external to each movement. In making this argument, this thesis offers both empirical and conceptual contributions to the existing scholarly literature. Empirically, it examines two longstanding opposition movements that have been relatively understudied in the context of the 2011 Arab uprisings. Conceptually, it extends the democracy-centric theory of framing within social movement theory by applying it to Islamist movements in an authoritarian context. M.A.

Marcia & Zach's Offbeat, Personalized Washington DC Wedding at Hillyer Art Center
- October 16, 2014
- No Comments
This Washington, DC wedding had it all. A ceremony in an art gallery, a push-up contest, the Jewish chair dance, dinner, dancing, and a legit New Orleans style parade to take the guests to dinner.
No joke. Just wait until you see these parade pictures – they're amazing. Marcia & Zach had a DC wedding and did it THEIR way, including some Janet Reno masks. Man, I love when couples do what they want. I know you guys are going to love this one. Thanks to De Nueva Photography for sharing her images.
Saturday: a friend from New Orleans who is a hairdresser did my hair and all my sisters. Katy from Alison Harper & Co did my makeup and my sisters. She was incredible and I set it up only 2 days before the wedding!
Our ceremony was in Hillyer Art Gallery in Dupont. There's a shot of all my sisters in the gallery (in red). My sister Nancy married us.
Our band was Mike Flaherty's Dixieland Direct. They were probably the highlight of our wedding. These guys have a New Orleans-style brass band in DC and they go down to New Orleans frequently to play. They got totally into the spirit of our wedding and played Oh When the Saints when we marched out and coordinated a fabulous number with my 86yo uncle which took them a lot of time to organize with him but they were really into. They worked in all my crazy friends and a skit to "You Can't Hurry Love." The coup de grace was when they led a New Orleans 2nd Line parade all the way from Hillyer to Kababji Grill – quite a scene!
My mom's friend did the flowers and one her other friends made the corsages, etc.
Click inside for SO MUCH MORE of this super rad Washington DC wedding – including the New Orleans style parade from the ceremony to dinner!

Romulan Faction Questions...
I was wondering if the Romulan Empire, and Federation, are going to be enemys, or allies? And what ships are going to be playable for the Roms. thanks for helping! (if you do... Mwahaha!)
please see the other 20 threads
Here is the sum total of the facts I've seen about the Romulan faction:
All this is pulled from the website. We know nothing of what it will actually be like. Branflakes has apparently been showing some secret preview-type stuff at PAX East, though.
We also know that
Both male and female romulans are available
there are new traits
There will be at least some new achievements
but thats about it

I left Seattle on the night of Sept 25th. About 10 days ago. So far, I have been on public transportation for 9 of them and walking through the craziness of the Fez Medina on the 10th. Constant movement. And with the little time I have left before getting on the plane in Lisbon, it doesn't seem like a day with my toes in the sand and a drink in my hand is going to happen.

Her party was nearing in 30 minutes as a multiple amount of people would approach her house and fill up her home with animals of different shapes, sizes, types, and colors. As 6:00 p.m. approached, the clock struck with musical tunes 6 times, to notify people it was time to PARTAYYYYY!!!!!! Just about 2 minutes after 6, people poured in Rouge's house, all ready to get crazy. Even though the party wouldn't contain that many people, they were all of her closest friends, which is all she could ask for. A full list of people came in containing Sonic, Shadow, Amy, Vector, Espio, Knuckles, Silver, and Blaze. "Hello everybody!!!!! Welcome to Rouge's biggest party of the year!" Rouge remarked as she threw her arms up in the air with enthusiasm. As her friends came in, she gave each one a hug and kiss on the cheek, welcoming them happily. "Wow Rouge, nice place you got here!" Silver said as he entered. "Why thank you Silver" ^ ^ Rouge replied happily. "S

Our recent study on maerl sediment dynamics has found that the settling velocity of maerl is primarily governed by the grain shape properties of maerl. A grain shape parameter known as the convexity has been linked to the settling velocity via the Ferguson and Church model (Ferguson and Church, 2004). Due to the grain shape of maerl and roughness, it experiences a greater drag than the natural quartz grain. Detailed measurements of maërl grain shape using microscopic image analysis confirm ........ Read more »

Jordan Carver always has some great tips on various things like brushing your teeth, baking, exercising and basically anything that involves showing off her glorious rack and body.
This Cross Fit workout video is the perfect combination of exercise and Christianity. Made from 100% mahogany Holy Cross, all you have to do is strap it to your back and the cross does the rest. If you're looking for the body of Christ, try the Cross Fit workout.
At first glance you see a really hot chick working out. Now as you get deeper into this video you will notice something that really shouldn't be there. I don't know if this is real or not but either way it's pretty damn funny. Did you see it?
I believe we give a lot of attention to boobs and rightfully so but I think sometimes we forget about the power of the booty. Today we pay tribute with a powerful butt video that will make you cross eyed.
If you ever asked yourself this very question, here is what it would be like. I really wish hot chicks would come up to me at the gym and show me what I'm doing wrong while grabbing me all over.
We've all seen these types of guys at our local gym, you might even be one. I would be "The Noob" or "The Face", if I really went to the gym. When I do go though, there's always one in the room. I look at this as an instructional video on how NOT to act at the gym.
While genetics certainly play an important part in beautiful people being beautiful people, there is a lot of hard work that goes into it as well. Case in point: the video below is of professionally attractive person Erin Heatherton wo
