Salon interviews David Lowery on GoldieBlox, copyright infringements and Silicon Valley
David Lowery, faculty member in the Music Business Program and leader of the bands Cracker and Camper Van Beethoven, did a long-form interview with Salon.com, covering his take on the GoldieBlox vs. Beastie Boys lawsuit, his take on copyright infringement in music and his problems with Silicon Valley.
"With GoldieBlox, though, this is a company that says, 'Oh, we're Kickstartering these girls' toys,' but then they go and preemptively sue the Beastie Boys using a really big and powerful law firm. This isn't David and Goliath, but it's been represented that way," Lowery said. "People need to pay attention here. Why do these things happen this way?"
The full interview is available free online.

Some of the most common side effects of using Caverject include bleeding at the site of drug injection, fever, urethral pain, apnea and painful erection, according to Drugs.com. Some of the more rare symptoms are bruising or blood clot formation at the injection site. Up to 36 percent of users experience penile pain with Caverject, up to 13 percent experience urethral pain, and up to 15 percent of users experience bleeding at the injection site.
Caverject is an injectable drug that is used for the treatment of male erectile dysfunction. It increases blood flow to the penis by widening blood vessels and relaxing some of the muscles of the penis, thus facilitating the formation of an erection. If any of the more rare side effects occur after use of Caverject, such as an erection lasting between four and six hours, an erection lasting longer than six hours that is accompanied by pain, or pain and swelling in the testes, contact a health care professional immediately, according to Drugs.com. People who have blood or bone marrow complications and those who have penile implants should not use Caverject. Additionally, people who have been advised to avoid sexual intercourse should not take Caverject.

Heroines - Women and Men Writing Women - Part 2
Ref: C2419253
Since Eve and Lilith, women have been portrayed as both angels and devils - sometimes though not always for the same reasons. We shall take a trans-historical approach to a series of literary portrayals of women, to explore the gender and identity politics of a variety of different societies as well as our own. With each of our texts we shall pay particular attention to how and why we are invited to empathise, or not, with particular characters and situations.
Course aim
To explore the power of literature to create and influence social and cultural values through some particular examples of how women have been portrayed by men and by women.
Do I need any particular skills or experience?
- This course is for those who love reading, and seek growth and challenge through this activity.
By the end of the course I should be able to:
- read and discuss challenging texts with increasing fluency
- give an account of how and why particular writers shaped the responses of readers either to reinforce or to challenge dominant social values
- give an account of the relevance of our texts to today's reader
How will I be taught?
- The WEA tutor will use a range of different teaching and learning methods and encourage you and the group to be actively involved in your learning
- You will be expected to carry out a range of activities in your own time
- Some of the texts we are studyung are too long to be read entirely in class, so there will be 'homework' reading and preparation for discussion.
What kind of feedback can I expect?
- A range of informal activities will be used by the tutor to see what you are learning which may include quizzes, question and answer, small projects and discussion
- You will be encouraged to share your work with the group and discuss your learning
What else do I need to know?
- You will need a copy of the four set texts Geoffrey Chaucer: The Wife of Bath's Prologue & Tale Jane Austen: Mansfield Park Grimm's Fairy Tales (a selection) Elena Ferrante: The Lost Daughter
Pre-course work, reading and information sources
- No pre reading is required but research on the subject on the internet or in the library may be helpful
- No pre-reading of texts is required, but you may choose to read them before the course begins if you wish to do so.
What can I do next?
- Progress to another WEA course
- Progress to a course with another provider
- You could progress to Higher Education courses. Follow link to the PEARL website for information http://pearl.open.ac.uk/
- You should find yourself increasingly equipped to approach challenging literary texts on your own.

Collier Takes Fifth at Junior NationalsSubmitted by: Ron Smith - July 1st, 2014
"USA Track & Field has designed the Junior Championship to identify young, up and coming talent at the highest level," noted Westmont assistant coach Josh Priester. "Becky certainly demonstrated that she is among the top athletes in her age group in the United States."
Collier improved her previous best point total set at the NAIA National Championships in May by 117 points. The Riverside resident earned NAIA All-American honors at the national championship meet with a fourth place finish.
"Becky's future is certainly bright," offered Priester. "Competing at the Junior National Meet is a big reward for a great year. The biggest accomplishment during the weekend was Becky's ability to handle a very high level competition."
Collier started the event with a time of 15.38 seconds in the 100 meters; earning 792 points and taking 0.31 seconds off her NAIA National Championship time. Her 1.75 meter (5-8.75) mark in the high jump tied for second among the junior national competitors and earned her 916 points.
In the third event, Collier put the shot 10.07 meters (33-0.5) to collect 534 points. She finished off the first day of competition with a time of 26.53 in the 200 meters; 0.14 seconds faster than at the NAIA Championship. At the end of the first day of competition, Collier was in sixth place with 2,993 points.
The long jump kicked off the second day of competition and Collier produced a jump of 5.36 meters (17-7) to claim 660 points. In the javelin, Collier improved her throw at the NAIA Championship by more than four and one-half meters, recording a mark of 33.71 (110-7) for 547 points. As a result, Collier moved from seventh place to fifth going into the final event.
In the 800 meters, Collier ran more than three seconds faster than at the NAIA Championship to post a time of 2:22.66. She collected 788 points to retain fifth place.
The junior national heptathlon was won by Ashlee Moore of Elite Athletics with 5,418 points. Shaina Burns (unattached) claimed second with 5,363 points while Emily Godwin of North Carolina was third with 5,304. Rose Jackson of North Dakota State edged out Collier for fourth place by 37 points.
Collier finished ahead of athletes from Brigham Young (Utah), Portland State (Ore.), UCLA and Vanderbilt (Tenn.).

I am a maker. Creating allows me to connect with the natural world around me and communicate my observations. I make art from personal experiences in an effort to point out things that are intrinsically universal, like seeing the ocean for the first time, spotting an interesting cloud formation or taking a moment to admire a favorite tree.

Halloween is a time to celebrate paranormal romances. There are so so many amazing PNR reads. Here are 5 paranormal romances you should read:
1) Lover Awakened by J.R. Ward- JR Ward is a trail blazer, and her Black Dagger Brotherhood has become an archetype for the genre. We could pick any of her novels of the BDB brotherhood for this list, but this one in particular is my personal favorite. The hero who is hands down the scariest and most unstable of the Brothers has an emotional journey in this book that makes for an unforgettable read.
2) Acheron by Sherrilyn Kenyon - I'm hesitant to recommend read this before you read the many other Dark Hunter books as there's been a lot of lead up to finally getting Acheron's story. He's a god. He's complicated and his relationship with the one woman who can crack his exterior is a 700 page adventure.
Beyond the Highland Mist by Karen Marie Moning - Why? Because it's a classic time travel romance. And it's got a Scottish Highlander. It's the first in her Highlander series.
Dark Prince by Christine Feehan - This is the first in her Dark Series. This series is so popular she's written 30 books. Yep, thirty.
A Discovery of Witches by Deborah Harkness - It's just good. Complex, fascinating...
Of course there's a giveaway. a Rafflecopter giveaway

The story opens with Francis Weed, the protagonist, on a plane flying into a storm. As the turbulence worsens and his fear increases, he tries to distract himself by focusing on the ordinariness of things around him: the man next to him soothing his own fears with the contents of a flask, a child crying, his left foot, which has fallen asleep. He tries reading, but that also fails to keep his mind off the danger. He sees a bit of irony now in the little window curtains that give the cabin an atmosphere of "misplaced domesticity." When the lights fail, the man next to him begins to talk about the cattle farm in New Hampshire that he has always wanted. The pilot announces an emergency landing, and then begins singing a song.
The plane crashes in a cornfield, but miraculously...

(This article belongs to the Special Issue Marine Toxins)
AbstractMany pufferfish of the family Tetraodontidae possess a potent neurotoxin, tetrodotoxin (TTX). In marine pufferfish species, toxicity is generally high in the liver and ovary, whereas in brackish water and freshwater species, toxicity is higher in the skin. In 1964, the toxin of the California newt was identified as TTX as well, and since then TTX has been detected in a variety of other organisms. TTX is produced primarily by marine bacteria, and pufferfish accumulate TTX via the food chain that begins with these bacteria. Consequently, pufferfish become non-toxic when they are fed TTX-free diets in an environment in which the invasion of TTX-bearing organisms is completely shut off. Although some researchers claim that the TTX of amphibians is endogenous, we believe that it also has an exogenous origin, i.e., from organisms consumed as food. TTX-bearing animals are equipped with a high tolerance to TTX, and thus retain or accumulate TTX possibly as a biologic defense substance. There have been many cases of human intoxication due to the ingestion of TTX-bearing pufferfish, mainly in Japan, China, and Taiwan, and several victims have died. Several cases of TTX intoxication due to the ingestion of small gastropods, including some lethal cases, were recently reported in China and Taiwan, revealing a serious public health issue.

I've noticed that it's getting a lot harder to fit in all the components of the 40-day challenge, especially the 20-minute meditation twice a day. It's just harder to bite off that slice of time and block out all other activities until I come out of it. The 20-minute length is also pumping against the limits of my attention span.
The other issue is that I've found that I've been putting some tasks on the back-burner to meet my challenge targets. The first couple of weeks, I let things slide. Now I find that the backlog is demanding for my attention. And then, there are the unforeseen emergencies that throw everything out the window (too many of those have been happening recently) — but that precisely when I need a mindfulness practice.


text: this weekend me and wifey cleaned up the back bedroom to make it into my "home office" if u will. i'm going through school to become a computer tech and amd starting to get some local business as my name gets out. so once i get to the thrift shop to drop off come clothes we are getting rid of i see this HP computer, monitor, keyboard/mouse ect. well i go inside to the cleark and ask how much for it. she said i've not seen it yet let's go out and look at it. we get out there she says, "how's $5 sound?" i said, "SOLD" thinking, i could probebly get some decent spare parts out of it, if i'm really lucky i might get a running computer. well i get home and fire it up. no problems at all! i do some simple cleanup of programs i don't want and do some simple virus checking. had a decent amount of viruses but in working order. so for $5 i got a HP Pavilion a305w 2.7 gig processor 256 megs of RAM a cd burner 30 gig hard drive defanetly want to upgrade the memory and HDD but all in all i think i made out like a bandit! what u think?

- 101 Ways to MAKE FIRE - #7 The Devil's Breath Today, I show you how to make char-cloth (a magic material you will encounter often in fire-making videos) and also show a cool way to start a fire at the same time. Devil's Breath is a term sometimes used by firefighteres to refer to the noxious brew of gases cuased by incomplete combustion of organic material. When people die of smoke inhalation it is usually these gases that are to blame. Carbon dioxide will suffocate you mostly by replacing the available oxygen in the air, it isn't really toxic. But these gases can incapacitate you within seconds. Almost everyone knows the acrid smell of charring material and will recoil or retreat instinctively, or react by coughing, sneezing etc. We are designed or adapted to find the smell very unpleasant. THESE GASES ARE POISONOUS. DON"T TRY THIS WITHOUT ADULT SUPERVISION. Most people don't realise that "things" don't actually burn. Flammable substances like grass, wood, rubber etc (even petrol / gasoline) don't combust directly. What happens is that the heating of these materials causes a chemical breakdown that results in the release of flammable gases. This is called pyrolysis. Once the temperature of the gas reaches its ignition temperature, it bursts into flame. It is these burning gases that we recognise as fire. But the process of combustion requires oxygen too. In the absence of oxygen, we get charring. Most of us are familiar with charcoal. The process of making it is very simple and can be observed along many rural roads ...

1997 Mazda MX-5 Miata: The Catalytic Converter Is Dead
May 1, 2013
Project Miata's check engine light is illuminated. This is why.
It looks like we're peering into the dumpster of some dystopian future, but that's actually the inside of Project Miata's catalytic converter. The catalyst brick is all broken apart inside there and the steel batting is sagging down. After 142,000 miles, some of them supercharged and with lots of hard driving, it's done.
Time to call Moss Miata for a replacement.

Legends of Skate
- Andrew Weigel Violin
- Mike Kresky "The Effigy" Acoustic guitar, Vocals
- Marc Hollander "HoHo" Acoustic guitar, Vocals
Genre: Garage folk revival
Sound description: Woody Guthrie filtered through an acid haze in a virtual jazz/beat poetry club actually housed in a circa 1967 garage in the mid-west near a protected swamp destined for development.
RIYL: Real music from the heart not colored by money.
Web site: http://www.myspace.com/2legendsofskate
Email: email@example.com
In 2005 and I was skateboarding weekly with some friends and it turns out that in the next couple of years one of them would become a musical foil and ally. In 2008 Mike Kresky (guitars) and I started doing casual jams in my living room that turned into weekly recording sessions. These sessions were a great outlet for my first true love in music: vocals and lyrics. With Mike's Americana style of guitar playing I could experiment with improvising lyrics and vocals in many different flavors and styles. This has developed into a great outlet for exorcising my own personal demons as well as venting my frustrations on what man is doing to this world. We would record everything and then edit out the paraphrased 'songs' to create standards and a set list to then play the songs for others with the intention of healing, transforming, and informing through words and music.
Upcoming shows
None scheduled
2008, Summerland, CA
Folk, rock, jazz, beat poetry
Current status
Doing a lot of recording and video taping of live studio performances while getting ready to do some live shows.

This is fake.
Firstly the the TV is angling away from the photographer, but the face is flat i.e. it is parallel to the photographer which indicates it is not in the screen which were curved back in 1990.
Secondly, ff you look at the face you can clearly see the rectangular outline where the face has been pasted in. The black color inside the rectangular box is darker than the rest of the TV screen.
The Photoshop dithering tool has been used to disguise the outline and blend in the dark colors immediately around both sides of the pasted box.
TIP: To the original poster there is a free drawing selection tool in Photoshop which you can use to trace around the outline of the actual face which would have served you much better here.
If you are wanting a job in special effects, don't put this on your resume.
The other black and white image is better, but taken in 1987, not in the 1970's as suggested.

In fact when you compare the face in the two photos, a different face has been used in each shot.
In the far away shot you can see the full face with cheeks, lower jaw and chin.
But in the close up, none of these are visible.
Why would parts of the face change or disappear just because you zoom in and take a closer look at the same photo.

hello everyone. I think I have solved this. To My years of misspent youth, watching TV I owe the credit. When I saw this image I instantly recognized it. It is the image of Mumm_Ra's tomb on the animated TV Show Thundercats. Simply do a google image search of "Mumm-ra's Tomb" and you'll return several toys that looked similar. If you plunk around on youtube, you might actually find some clips from the show that will prove this. I watched that show religiously, and am anxiously awaiting the release of the live action movie in 2010. Trust me on this, I know my Thundercats, and that is definitely Mumm-ra's tomb. It's even the same color scheme.

Algebra Seminar
Monday, November 14, 2011 - 4:05pm
1 hour (actually 50 minutes)
Skiles 006
Sam Houston State University
Geometric modeling builds computer models for industrial design and manufacture from basic units, called patches, such as, Bézier curves and surfaces. The control polygon of a Bézier curve is well-defined and has geometric significance—there is a sequence of weights under which the limiting position of the curve is the control polygon. For a Bezier surface patch, there are many possible polyhedral control structures, and none are canonical. In this talk, I will present a not necessarily polyhedral control structure for surface patches, regular control surfaces, which are certain C^0 spline surfaces. While not unique, regular control surfaces are exactly the possible limiting positions of a Bezier patch when the weights are allowed to vary. While our primary interest is to explain the meaning of control nets for the classical rational Bezier patches, we work in the generality of Krasauskas' toric Bezier patches. Toric Bezier patches are multi-sided parametric patches based on the geometry of toric varieties and depend on a polytope and some weights. Our results rely upon a construction in computational algebraic geometry called a toric degeneration.

Photo by David Lachapelle
There were two jaw-dropping, stunning-for-all-the-wrong-reasons R&B moments during the recently televised Arista tribute special. The first was when Aretha Franklin black cornrows swept up into a scarifying blond weave, a fleck of what looked like gristle sitting high on her cheek inexplicably peppered her most awful hit (Freeway of Love) with shouts of Jesus! Jesus! Jesus! while Boyz II Men shuffled aimlessly behind her. The second showstopping bit occurred when Whitney Houston and Bobby Brown Sonny & Cher by way of HBOs The Corner enlivened Houstons dreary diva medley with an out-of-left-field segue into the hook from Trick Daddys hood-rat anthem Who Dat (Eye-yi-yi-yi-yi . . . Who dat? Who dat? Who dat?), and spectacular television was enjoyed by all.
Thank god for non sequiturs. Sadly, theyve been all but airbrushed from Houstons new greatest-hits collection which is why its damn near unlistenable. The first of the two discs is the Cool Down side, i.e., the ballads. One track slides too smoothly into the next, with Whitneys voice so strong, so assured, so boring anchoring saccharine production and even sappier songwriting. All the big hits are here: You Give Good Love, Saving All My Love for You, Greatest Love of All, I Will Always Love You, My Love Is Your Love. With the exception of the Wyclef Jeanproduced, reggae-tinged My Love Is Your Love, theyre practically indistinguishable; its painful to listen to more than one hit at a time. Two new songs are added to this mellow batch of familiarity: Same Script, Different Cast (a duet with fledgling diva Deborah Cox) and Could I Have This Kiss Forever (a duet with offensive ethnic stereotype Enrique Iglesias). Cox and Houston sound eerily alike, which ironically sparks a bit of chemistry between the women narcissism as aphrodisiac. Too bad its wasted on yet another trifling song about the doglike nature of men. Iglesias pants and sighs his way through his lines, trying to smolder but whimpering instead.
The Throw Down disc is filled with astonishingly bad dance remixes of old hits like I Wanna Dance With Somebody (Who Loves Me), How Will I Know and So Emotional. Hex Hector and Junior Vasquez (and an uncharacteristically uninspired David Morales) take recordings that at least once had some minor charm or appeal (or, in the case of the Annie Lennoxpenned Step by Step, were actually good) and turn them all into the soundtrack for an endless awful night at Rage. New material on this disc includes another duet (If I Told You That, with George Michael) and Whitney in solo mode on Fine.

On paper, the Houston-Michael coupling is inspired: Together they symbolize two-thirds of the sex-drugs-and-rock-&-roll triptych. But Michael simply adds his pinched, nasal vocals to the track that was originally found on Houstons album My Love Is Your Love, the result of which is two people singing at one another and daring the listener to care. Only on the stellar R&B track Fine does Whitney stand out. Co-written by Raphael Saadiq (Tony! Toni! Tone!, Lucy Pearl) and produced by Saadiq and Q-Tip (and mixed by DJ Quik), Fine is soulful, funky and tight as hell. And the vocal performance ranks among Whitneys best.
A lot of moaning fans have used this career retrospective to make the case that Whitney Houstons voice aint quite the spectacular instrument it once was. Its not, and so what? Sacrificing flawless and soulless technique is a small price to pay if the end result is a singer who actually feels the lyrics, who climbs inside the words and transforms them into something living.
Thats not to suggest we should swing to the other end of the spectrum and splash unearned props on the heads of folks like Mary J. Blige, whos all raw emotion but just cant sing. Its also not to shrug away the horrendous live performances Houston has turned in for the past year or so on various awards shows. But it is celebrating the middle ground that should actually be the aesthetic apex for truly great singers: talent, technique and soul. Too much of modern R&B is either pointless and excessive screaming, or chilly stylistic perfection stripped of any human connection. Whitney has been a hugely influential presence in modern pop music with almost no significant music to show for it. Shes the clear model for the likes of (early) Mariah Carey, Deborah Cox and even Christina Aguilera, all of whom have lifted her diva moves, aesthetics and vocal tics. But thats not the stuff legacies are built upon.
Now that Whitney seems to be lifting her own private-life cues from the Esther Phillips story, shes finally gotten interesting. Her voice has a grainy, simmering texture that snags coolly on funkdafied riffs, making her comfortably at home with Missy Elliott, Q-Tip and DJ Quik in ways she could never be with, say, Diane Warren. Heres hoping she pulls a David Bowie move, uses this greatest-hits enema to retire her catalogue, and keeps on the career path and possibilities so clearly marked out on the very fine Fine.

The 2007 Colgate World Cup Sylt – Day 2
Team Fanatic's furious featherweight Arnon Dagan takes the first bullet on a frustrating days racing for the big guns. Light wind specialists Australian Steve Allen and youngster Julien Quentel also drive home their advantage as the opening volleys of the slalom shooting match begin.
The lower end of the wind limits really tested both the competitors and race crew today as conditions on the edge of suitability kept everyone on their toes.
Breeze between just 5 and 13 knots meant disruptive lulls forced many heats to be cancelled.
In between the racing the freestylers pumped onto the plane to perform for the crowds, and it wasn't long before 2006 world champ Jose Estredo had won over the beachside fans with his extensive bag of tricks.
Meanwhile a fair amount of racing heavyweights struggled in the early heats and many failed to advance to the semi-finals.
There was drama in the first semi when Bjorn Dunkerbeck (T1 / North), who was set to qualify easily, pumped out of the gybe at the first mark when his mast snapped and left him unable to complete the race.
The winner's final was run in about as close as you can get to the minimum wind strength allowed, which really suited lightweight Arnon Dagan (Fanatic / NeilPryde) who won.
The 30-yr old talked us through the heat. 'Just before the start the wind dropped and that makes it even harder to time it right as you don't want to have to slow down in light air and then try to accelerate away again late. I chose the pin-end ad timed it just right and from there I knew I'd be OK as somehow I have such unbelievable speed in low wind strengths.
I used my Falcon 125 and a 9.0 sail and was untouchable all the way around the track. Of course I'm happy to get off to a good start but I'm going to be cautious as this has happened before and then I've let things slip in the past. I always enjoy the crowds in Sylt and seem to perform well here including a podium finish last season. Let's hope we get some more racing in soon!'
Dagan was pursued relentlessly by Formula racer Steve Allen (Tabou / Gaastra) of Australia who secured second place ahead of French rider Julien Quentel (Starboard / NeilPryde).
The Caribbean-based youth world champion's third place proved that his remarkable debut slalom season is no fluke, and that he's a force of the future who's definitely set to stick around.
Sadly the loser's final was abandoned and will have to be re-run as soon as conditions improve and slalom is back on the agenda.
Tomorrow's forecast gives hope for both freestyle and wave sailing action, and the first possible start has been set at 08.30.

During pageant weekend, we will privately be interviewed by a panel of judges, therefore; we must dress accordingly. During my sophomore year at San Jose State University, I joined Lambda Theta Nu Sorority, Inc., a Latina organization priding ourselves in professionalism. As part of upholding one of our beliefs, we dress in professional wear all day long on our weekly chapter meeting days. During those times, I lived fairly close to campus but was always on the go needing to shoot, film and interview weekly stories for our campus wide news station, Update News*. For me, I found I could achieve all this running around best in perfectly cropped length trousers and a long sleeve buttoned up collared shirt accessorized with a fitted vest. As President of our chapter, I was expected to attend campus wide Greek Organization meetings and report back to my chapter with news and updates. Upon arriving to our meetings, I usually found myself rolling up my sleeves half way preparing myself before presenting to the membership and for unknown psychological reasons, I always felt more confident like that, mentally preparing to get dirty and down to business. As soon as I found out an interview outfit would be required for Miss California Latina, I already knew what my go-to outfit was going to consist of.
The other day my mom and I went window shopping for color and style inspiration. The business look is supposed to be professional yet give a glimpse of each woman's personality. Though I have the ideal look set in my head, it's now all about actually finding the pieces of articles. We visited a few stores but didn't quite find exactly what I'm looking for which led to some disappointment but now that fall is just around the corner, I'm hoping my color choices will be easier to find. Though I do have one gorgeous business dress from Banana Republic that I do consider lucky (simply because I've worn it to various interviews/meetings and have always come out a winner) I'm choosing to go with the "men's look" hoping I'll stand out showing the judges that I wear the pants in the interview!

Some types of trees that produce white flowers include the dogwood, autumn flowering higan and the Foster's No. 2 Holly tree. Each produces different varieties of white flowers at various times throughout the year.
The white dogwood tree produces white flowers in the spring and bright red fruit in the winter. This large tree makes a nice addition to a yard when planted to hide power lines, and it looks lovely near pink or red dogwood trees. Fully grown, this tree grows to be around 25 feet tall and requires full sun. This versatile tree can grow in acidic, rich or sandy soil.
The autumn flowering higan tree is a cherry tree that produces pink and white flowers during the fall months, and it has a unique, pretty bark. At maturity, this tree grows to between 15 and 30 feet tall, adding two feet or more per year. It requires full and partial sun and is known to attract birds.
Although holly trees are typically associated with the holiday season, the Foster's No. 2 Holly tree is a lovely addition to a yard year-round. It produces small white flowers each spring and does not require a male plant to produce flowers and berries. This tree grows to a maximum size of 25 feet when mature, reaching that height slowly. It requires full or partial shade and full sun and grows in a pyramid shape.
Other trees that produce white flowers include the Northern catalpa, sargent crabapple and the pee gee hydrangea.

Lobby Day
Since 2007 HDC has fought for continued funding of the New York City Landmarks Preservation Commission.
Preservation Lobby Day 2010:
May 12th 2010
Lobby day 2010 was a great success. As it has in the past Lobby Day took place on the steps of City Hall. Council Member Brad Lander and Kate Wood Executive Director of Landmark West! made speechs thanking all the preservation groups for their work and support for the West Park designation.West Park Presbyterian Church was scheduled to have a hearing on the same day. Many preservation groups came out in the rain to show their love of New York's architectual history. The goal of Lobby Day 2010 was to represent to New York's government how important preservation is to the many diverse neighborhoods of New York.
Preservation Lobby Day 2009:
Wednesday, May 6, 2009
HDC worked with a citywide coalition to draft a Citywide Preservation Platform. This platform outlined 5 points which we will use to communicate our issues to the Mayoral candidates and other candidates for public office. (a full version of the platform can be found here)
1. Preservation is Sustainability – Preserving and re-using buildings and building materials saves money, energy, the environment, and also boosts local economies.
2. Preservation is Neighborhoods – Preservation of our historic buildings and neighborhoods is one of the most important factors in assuring that New York remains a livable and sustainable city.
3. Preservation is an Economic Catalyst – Preservation raises property values, strengthens the city's tax base, and enhances tourism.
4. Preservation is Historic Religious Properties – Historic religious buildings are the anchors of many communities, and often provide social services that are not otherwise available.
5. Preservation is an effective Landmarks Commission – Investing in the Landmarks Preservation Commission is necessary for a better-staffed, more efficient and transparent LPC.
As this is a citywide platform, specific local issues unfortunately cannot be directly addressed, but all Neighborhood Partners are greatly encouraged to draft a platform or wish list to bring attention to specific issues that impact your neighborhood.
Preservation Lobby Day 2008:
May 28, 2008 CALL TO RESTORE LANDMARKS FUNDING
THE HISTORIC DISTRICTS COUNCIL, together with a coalition of over 50 preservation groups (see back), is seeking a restoration of $300,000 to the Landmark Preservation Commission's FY 2009 budget. This would allow the LPC to restore staffing to its 1991 level in order to effectively protect New York's irreplaceable historic buildings and neighborhoods.
The LPC protects our city by designating historic buildings and neighborhoods as official landmarks and overseeing their development With New York's real estate pressure at an all-time high, the LPC is inundated with public requests for landmark designation as well applications for permits to alter existing landmarks. Over 50 neighborhoods in all five boroughs currently have requests filed with the LPC to evaluate their communities for potential landmark designation. Literally thousands of New Yorkers have asked for attention and action from this city agency. Without added funding, the Landmarks Commission will not be able to deliver these needed services in an efficient or timely manner.
In relation to the City's budget as a whole, the LPC's budget is miniscule—less than one one-hundredth of one percent of the City's expenditures ($4.3 million in FY 2008). Because of inadequate funding, the LPC's staff has been perennially overburdened. Although applications for permits have more than doubled since 1990, the overall LPC staff has been cut by almost one third. This past year, the agency issued over 10,000 permits for work on designated properties – a record high. Responding to the community need, the LPC has also designated a record number of properties – a total of 1,158 last year – the highest number of designations since 1990. This was only possible due to the $300,000 in additional funding granted by the City Council last year.
In 2006, City Council members Jessica Lappin (M), Tony Avella (Q) and Diana Reyna (BK) sponsored an increase of $250,000 to the Landmarks Preservation Commission budget for FY 2007, this additional funding was increased to $300,000 in FY 2008. This addition boosted the LPC's effectiveness considerably – the agency used the funds to hire five full-time staff members (on one-year contracts) dedicated to survey and research work, which led to designation activities in all five boroughs. Because of the increase in staff, the Commission was able to designate the 1,158 historic buildings in FY 2008, a more than 2,000% increase of the number since FY 2005. In addition, in the past two years, the LPC has been able to survey over 22,000 buildings across the city for potential landmark designation. This, too, was only possible with the additional City Council funding.
Unfortunately, the current budget does not carry this increase over to 2009. Without the added staff, there is no way that the LPC can continue its preservation activities at its current level. These are needed city services that benefit thousands of New Yorkers.

March 6, 2008 – The Historic Districts Council is the citywide advocate for New York's historic districts and neighborhoods meriting preservation. The Landmarks Preservation Commission is the only city agency specifically tasked to ensure that New York City's historic buildings and neighborhoods are preserved . Other city agencies affect our neighborhoods and as New Yorkers concerned with the continued physical well-being of our city's historic communities, we must stop expecting the LPC to solve every problem a historic neighborhood faces. That being said, a strong, efficient LPC is critical to the health and vitality of our historic city and it is my pleasure to testify before the City Council regarding the agency's preliminary budget.
Over the past two years, the City Council has proven itself to be a strong partner to the LPC, twice increasing the agency's budget which has borne remarkable fruit. These increases have enabled the LPC to sustain itself during a record period of construction and development activity; in this past fiscal year the agency having designated over 1,000 buildings in all five boroughs over and issued close to 10,000 permits for work on buildings under its oversight. When the current size of the agency is considered – 60 or so fulltime staff and an annual budget of less than $4 million – this productivity is even more remarkable.
Given both the demand on the agency and its recent success in meeting it, the Historic Districts Council feels it is imperative that the Landmarks Preservation Commission is able to continue to operate at its current level. That is why have asked Mayor Bloomberg to ensure that the LPC budget not be cut, despite a tough budget climate, and that the $300,000 added by the City Council last year be base-lined into the agency budget.
HDC appreciates that the Mayor's plan for 2030 understands the importance of neighborhood character. Historic districts help protect that character, raising property values and providing popular places to live and visit. Addressing the demand for additional districts while maintaining appropriate oversight of existing districts is a crucial part of ensuring that New York City will meet the challenges of the years ahead. In fact, HDC is about to host a series of panels on that topic this weekend.
The Council should be aware that, to the best of our knowledge, there are currently more than 50 areas, in every borough, where citizens and community groups are asking for new historic districts to be designated. These proposed districts encompass over 18,000 thousand buildings and thousands of New Yorkers. These are regular citizens who want the City's help to maintain and enhance their communities . The best way to do this is through a strong, efficient Landmarks Preservation Commission.
Should the Mayor base-line the additional funds that the City Council has so generously provided over the past two years., we do ask that the Council contemplate how to best enhance and strengthen the agency further. A few suggestions would be the enactment of Intro 542, the Landmarks Protection Bill, holding hearings on the Tax Assessment Bill introduced by Councilmember Gioia last spring and even revisiting the Demolition Delay Bill introduced by Councilmember McMahon early in this session. Even more radical ideas for enhancements would be an investigation of preservation incentives – be it an increase in the Community Block grants already administered by LPC, some kind of Main Street or façade improvement program or perhaps something I haven't even thought of yet. Landmarking is forever and by making an investment in it, we are making an investment in our city's future. What do WE want New York to look like in 20 years?

Wild West Motorsports Park is big, fast, exciting and exemplifies what short course off-road racing is all about. There are so many changes with the terrain and altitude that when combined with the towering jumps, it's a fun course to race on.
Compton, California (PRWEB) August 20, 2015
Greg Adler Motorsports and Team 4 Wheel Parts will be flying into Reno, Nevada on August 22-23 to clash with short course off-road racing's elite drivers on what has been described as the wildest course on the Lucas Oil Off Road Racing Series circuit. Reno's Wild West Motorsports Park, with its soaring elevation changes, gravity defying drop-offs and high speed straight-a-ways carved into the Nevada hillside, will provide a stark contrast from the sandy beaches of Baja where the team competed just three weeks ago. And as Adler heads into the self-proclaimed "Biggest Little City in the World" for Rounds 13-14, he sets his sights on finishing the 2015 season with a flourish.
"Wild West Motorsports Park is big, fast, exciting and exemplifies what short course off-road racing is all about," said Adler. "There are so many changes with the terrain and altitude that when combined with the towering jumps, it's a fun course to race on."
This season, with Adler focusing on the marquee Pro4 division, he has established himself as a podium threat among the prolific field and while in Ensenada for Rounds 11-12, he was consistently amidst the top qualifiers. Now, Alder heads to Reno, gambling that he will come away from the weekend with a spot on the box when the dust has settled.
"We've certainly faced our share of challenges for sure," said Adler. "This is a contact sports and anything can happen out on the track. But we know we've been fast all season. Now we have to go out up there and throw down some fast times and consistent laps and put ourselves into the mix."
Wild West Motorsports Park is located at Exit 23 / Mustang 12005 East I-80 in Sparks, Nevada. The two-day doubleheader kicks off Saturday August 22 with Greg Adler and the Pro4 field taking the green flag at 2 p.m. Gates will open to the public both days at 11 a.m. and the entire pit area will be accessible to spectators throughout the day.
The Lucas Oil Off Road Racing Series will also visit Las Vegas, Nevada before returning home to Southern California's Lake Elsinore Motorsports Park as the year concludes with the Lucas Oil Challenge Cup. Follow Greg Adler Motorsports on Twitter, Instagram, Facebook and Team4WheelParts.com. There's nothing like live short course off-road racing action, but if you can't be there to see it in person, the Lucas Oil Off Road Racing Series is broadcast throughout the season on CBS, the CBS Sports Network and MAVTV.

Video production firm Portal A usually targets hipsters, Silicon Valley geeks and voters as its audience — but its newest film? Children in Oakland public schools.
Portal A has teamed up with Oakland Unified School District to create and produce a video about attendance and the importance of being at school. "I'm an Oakland School Kid" is set to air Wednesday on YouTube.
Starring OUSD students and National Football League star Marshawn Lynch, an Oakland native who went to Oakland Public Schools, the video focuses on the daydreams of one young boy whose teacher tells him about the rewards of school.
"If you put in the work today, tomorrow you can be whatever you want to be," the teacher says, and the boy's imagination takes off with images of physicists, politicians and professional athletes: the myriad possibilities before him. Soon, lots of kids are boogieing to the Rihanna tune, "Please Don't Stop the Music," but singing the words, "I've got to get to class" and "I'm an Oakland school kid." Oakland Unified and Portal A are launching it as a public service announcement for kids.
"It's a really important issue," said Zach Blume, Managing Director of Portal A and one of its founders, "and it hits close to home."
All of the 20-something principals of the San Francisco-based firm are East Bay natives. Blume and Creative Director Kai Hasson grew up in Berkeley. Nate Houghteling, Executive Producer, and Drew Glover, head of partnerships, grew up in Oakland, and Glover's mom, Robin Bailer Glover, is Principal of OUSD's Dewey High School.
OUSD Communications Director Troy Flint, himself a 20-something social media maven, approached Portal A about doing a video on attendance, and then worked with the studio to find student actors, musicians and compelling words. "Attendance has been a big issue" in Oakland, he said.
Indeed, according to the most recent data, which is for the 2011 – 12 year, 10 percent of Oakland Unified students are chronically absent, including 14 percent of high school students and 14 percent of kindergarteners. Chronic absence, defined as missing more than 18 days in a school year, is highest among the very young and high school.
Yet when kids miss a lot of school in the youngest grades, they are statistically more likely to drop out of school in high school. Dropping out of high school statistically leads to joblessness and a greater likelihood of incarceration.
But getting the message across to parents of youngsters and to high school students themselves has been a challenge, Flint said. "It's really a focus for us," he continued, but a frustrating one. "While there have been modest gains (in attendance) as a result of our efforts, gains are not as significant as I'd like to see," he added.
"I know part of the problem is we are not always reaching target audience. Sometimes some of our messages on this topic are on the dry side and not engaging. So we wanted to try something much more engaging that would be student-focused."
Flint and the creators at Portal A figure that if they could interest students — particularly elementary school students — in their video, the kids would pressure parents to get them to school.
"At the elementary level, the biggest challenge is getting parents to appreciate how important early learning is," he said. "Some parents have the impression that school is not serious until the secondary level, but school builds upon itself as skills build," Flint said. Also, "Absenteeism at the elementary level is the most correctable," so he commissioned Portal A to take on the topic in creating a video for the Web.
Portal A's other clients are tech and business firms, including Microsoft and Fisher Investments, and sponsors of progressive political causes such as "Yes on Prop. 39," the 2012 ballot initiative that closed a corporate tax loophole and brought billions back to California for energy efficiency spending. Some of Portal A's actors are professional actors, like Felicia Day.
But in this film, students from Oakland's Westlake, Montera and Edna Brewer Middle Schools and La Escuelita and Glenview Elementary Schools are the stars. The video was shot at La Escuelita on a Saturday in June.

CINCINNATI - There is little certainty in the parity-saturated NFL, where even the best teams are flawed enough to occasionally offer moments suited for low comedy or a collective cringe by their fans. The Cincinnati Bengals are still capable of both, as they showed today, and that leaves questions clinging to the AFC North Division champions as they head into a home playoff game this weekend against San Diego.
CINCINNATI � There is little certainty in the parity-saturated NFL, where even the best teams are flawed enough to occasionally offer moments suited for low comedy or a collective cringe by their fans.
The Cincinnati Bengals are still capable of both, as they showed yesterday, and that leaves questions clinging to the AFC North Division champions as they head into a home playoff game this weekend against San Diego.
Already assured the division title and their franchise-record third consecutive playoff spot before kickoff yesterday, the Bengals were sloppy and mistake-prone enough in the regular-season finale against Baltimore to elicit an occasional boo from the home crowd.
Quarterback Andy Dalton threw four interceptions, Cincinnati committed 10 penalties, and a punt by Shawn Powell traveled only 10 yards, with the ball landing in the Paul Brown Stadium seats.
Still, the ever-resilient Bengals outscored Baltimore 17-0 in the fourth quarter to produce a 34-17 victory that knocked their division foe and the defending Super Bowl champions out of a potential playoff spot with a final 8-8 record.
�We throw four interceptions and still beat them by 17 points. We�re doing something right,� said All-Pro receiver A.J. Green, who caught a 53-yard touchdown pass in the first quarter.
Ravens quarterback Joe Flacco threw three interceptions in the fourth quarter to assure that the Bengals (11-5) finished the regular season 8-0 at home for the first time since their AFC championship season of 1988.
Now the Bengals, the AFC�s No. 3 seed, aim for their first postseason victory since 1990 with their self-belief boosted by five victories in their past six games, including 17-10 over the Chargers (9-7) in San Diego on Dec. 1.
�We�re playing with a lot of confidence right now,� Dalton said.
Skepticism, however, lingers among Cincinnati�s fan base. The Bengals say 10,000 to 15,000 playoff tickets remain unsold and available for this weekend�s game. Empty seats dotted the stadium yesterday, despite an announced sellout of 62,406.
No other NFL team has gone as long without a playoff victory as Cincinnati�s 23-year drought. The Bengals lost home playoff games to Pittsburgh (2005) and the New York Jets (2009) and suffered wild-card losses at Houston the previous two seasons.
�We have unfinished business,� coach Marvin Lewis said.
Lewis spoke of being �proud� of his team, and how yesterday was a �great win� despite Dalton�s four interceptions and the fact the Bengals squandered an 11-point lead in the second half to enter the fourth quarter tied at 17.
Dalton threw two interceptions in his first six passes. The Ravens, however, settled for Justin Tucker field goals of 38 and 22 yards. Baltimore�s 6-0 lead had disappeared by the end of the first quarter because of Dalton�s long scoring pass to Green.
�(Dalton) just keeps playing and is really unflappable,� Lewis said.
The Bengals pushed the lead to 17-6 by halftime on a 39-yard field goal by Mike Nugent and Dalton�s 16-yard touchdown pass to Marvin Jones.
Another Dalton interception led to Tucker�s third field goal, a 34-yarder that drew the Ravens to 17-9 with 9:30 left in the third quarter.
Powell then shanked his 10-yard punt, setting up Baltimore�s lone touchdown of the game, and only its second in the past 11 quarters. Flacco threw an 8-yard scoring pass to Marlon Brown, and Ray Rice tied the score with a two-point conversion run.
The Bengals responded with a 12-play, 90-yard drive, capped by Dalton�s 1-yard touchdown run for a 24-17 lead.
Flacco then threw three interceptions. Cincinnati turned the first pick into a 38-yard field goal by Nugent. Cornerback Dre Kirkpatrick took the final interception back 21 yards for a touchdown.
�Now it�s win or go home,� said safety Chris Crocker, who had an interception. �We don�t care how we win. It doesn�t have to be pretty. We just need to win.�

How does radiation therapy work?
Radiation therapy destroys cancer cells by dismantling their RNA so that the cells cannot multiply and spread. Healthy tissue that receives radiation also will be affected, but healthy cells are able to recover.
What steps will occur during my therapy?
At your initial consultation, the radiation oncologist will review information about your diagnosis, including the expected outcome, potential side effects and reasonable alternatives to radiation therapy, if there are any.
Next, he or she does what is called a simulation to plan your treatment. This includes having a CT scan, measuring and marking the location to be treated, and taking photos. Care is taken to ensure that the radiation is delivered precisely to the tumor, thus sparing your normal surrounding tissue.
After the simulation is done, a field verification is performed to ensure that the treatment being planned meets all safety and quality assurance standards. When the field verification has been completed, treatment can begin.
During your treatment you are being carefully monitored. Occasionally x-ray films are taken during the procedure to make sure you are positioned accurately.
How long are my treatments?
Usually, external beam radiation therapy is delivered in a series of treatments over five to six weeks, on a Monday through Friday schedule. The appointments usually last 15 to 20 minutes, although the radiation treatment is only one to two minutes in length.
Treatment with internal radiation, such as brachytherapy (radioactive seeds or other implantable devices) is given over a shorter duration of time but you may need to be in the hospital for this procedure.
What type of equipment is used during radiation therapy?
A linear accelerator (LINAC) is used to deliver what is called an external beam of radiation to the tumor. "External beam" means that the radiation source originates outside of the body. Intensity modulated radiation therapy (IMRT), for example, is a type of external beam radiation treatment. Radiation therapists operate the linear accelerator.
There are also therapies in which radiation is placed directly within the body. Brachytherapy is an example of this type of treatment.
[Back to top]
Will I feel the treatment as it is being given?
You will not feel any pain or discomfort during your treatment.
Am I radioactive?
You are not radioactive when you have external beam therapy. If you have had an implantable device placed, you may have higher than normal radioactivity levels for a period of time, and will be advised by the medical staff about precautions to take.
Is my hair going to fall out?
Hair loss may occur in the treated area. You are more likely to lose your hair if you are also being treated with chemotherapy. However, not all chemotherapy drugs cause hair loss.
What are the side effects of radiation treatment?
Side effects may include swelling and sunburn-like changes in the treated area. Usually these changes in tissue and skin go away in six to 12 months. Fatigue may also occur, and some patients experience a temporary loss of appetite.
What is the difference between chemotherapy and radiation therapy?
Chemotherapy uses powerful drugs that are toxic to cells. Radiation therapy uses high energy radiation to shrink tumors and kill cancer cells.
Is there some type of lotion to put on my skin before and after treatment?
We do not recommend using a lotion before treatment. If you experience sunburn-like changes in your skin after treatment, you may use a commercially available lotion sold in most drug and grocery stores which hydrates and replenishes the skin.
[Back to top]
Is there anything I can eat to boost my immune system?
There is nothing you can eat to boost your immune system before receiving radiation therapy. However, eating a healthy, balanced diet is always recommended.
What is brachytherapy?
Brachytherapy is the implantation of radioactive "seeds" or other implantable devices near the tumor. These devices deliver a high dose of radiation to the tumor while sparing the surrounding non-cancerous tissues.
Physicians at Virginia Mason were the first in the Pacific Northwest to use an advanced technique known as "real-time dosimetry" to precisely place radioactive seeds with millimeter accuracy.
Are brachytherapy seeds removed after treatment?
The radioactive seeds that have been placed in the prostate gland, for example, or in the surgically removed tumor site are not removed. They gradually lose their radioactivity over time.
What is three-dimensional conformal radiation therapy (3-D CRT)?
With this type of radiation therapy, a CT image is taken of the tumor to conform the radiation beams to the size and shape of the tumor. The tumor is then exposed to several beams of radiation from different angles.
[Back to top]
What is intensity modulated radiation therapy?
This therapy – a form of three-dimensional conformal radiation therapy (3-D CRT) – delivers highly focused radiation beams to the tumor or to areas within the tumor. Treatment planning begins with three-dimensional CT computer imaging that conforms the radiation beams to the size and shape of the tumor(s). The beams of radiation can be controlled or "modulated" in intensity and are delivered with high-precision accuracy that lessens damage to surrounding healthy tissue.
What is stereotactic hypofractionated radiation therapy?
This technique uses external beam radiation therapy delivered in a precise manner to the tumor, allowing for significantly reduced treatment visits. With SHARP therapy (Stereotactic Hypofractionated Accurate Radiotherapy of the Prostate), for example, which Virginia Mason radiation oncologists pioneered, treatment time was reduced from the standard eight weeks to five days.
What is gamma knife radiosurgery?
This type of radiation delivery is not surgery in the usual sense but is instead a procedure that uses high-dose and highly focused beams of radiation from different angles directed toward a small tumor(s). (This therapy is also called stereotactic radiosurgery.) Gamma knife radiosurgery was developed specifically for treatment of brain tumors.
Several specialists (radiation oncologists, neuroradiologists and neurosurgeons), along with other members of the radiation oncology team, may be involved in the treatment planning using this technique. During the procedure, a rigid frame is put in place to keep the head still. Treatment duration depends on the shape and location of the tumor, and the dose of radiation required.
What is interstitial radiation therapy?
Interstitial radiation therapy is therapy using implantable radioactive devices, such as radioactive seeds, as opposed to receiving therapy from an external beam. It is also called brachytherapy.
Is proton beam therapy useful for treating my prostate cancer?
Proton therapy for prostate cancer has been in existence for decades, although lately there is more publicity surrounding this form of treatment. It has not been shown to improve outcomes for prostate cancer, despite significantly higher costs. Read clinical studies and commentary about proton therapy:
- Comparative effectiveness study of patient-reported outcomes after proton therapy or intensity-modulated radiotherapy for prostate cancer

'Avatar' Sinks 'Titanic' Box Office Record
James Cameron's Avatar has surpassed Titanic at the box office!
The film has made more than $1.8 billion worldwide, besting Titanic's record from 1997, CBS reports.
However, Avatar is still far from the inflation-adjusted record set by Gone with the Wind in 1939 – in today's money, it took in the equivalent of about $6 billion.
"[James] has so much respect for the audience and the individual theater-goer, he wanted to give them the story he dreamed of seeing when he was 14," Avatar star Sigourney Weaver told CBS.
DO YOU THINK Avatar could take in $6 billion at the box office and overtake Gone with the Wind?

Breakthrough on Chicago remap deal?
The head of the Chicago City Council's Latino Caucus said on Wednesday that a deal is closer than ever before on the contentious re-drawing of ward boundaries. The possible breakthrough comes after a compromise offer was extended to break the stalemate.
Ald. Danny Solis (22nd), the Latino Caucus chair, said he got a call on Tuesday from Ald. Pat O'Connor (40th), a Mayor Rahm Emanuel ally who's been closely involved in the mapping. Solis said the proposal includes much of a map drawn by the council's Black Caucus, but said it appears to roughly meet his demand that Hispanics get comfortable majorities in 13 wards.
Solis said he thinks his caucus would accept the compromise, if they're confident it would survive a lawsuit.
"We want...an expert to come in who has analyzed maps like this across the country - to come analyze and evaluate the map, and then tell us we would be avoiding that," Solis said.
The Latino Caucus next meets on Friday.
The new offer focused on the Southwest Side's 23rd ward. Now represented by a white alderman, Mike Zalewski, Hispanics would represent more than 60 percent of the voting age population under the new boundaries.
The Black Caucus chair, 21st Ward Ald. Howard Brookins, said he "absolutely" supports the compromise, and doesn't have a problem with Solis' demand for a legal review. Neither does O'Connor.
"It's always been anticipated that we would have some indication from a competent authority that [the final] map...is defensible," O'Connor said.
The council could vote on a map as early as its meeting on January 18th.
"I think [a vote then] is a real potential, but I'm not going to hurry the process through some sort of an artificial deadline," O'Connor said. "If it's not ready, it's not ready."
Public hearings on previously introduced map proposals begin Wednesday night, with a meeting in the Lincoln Park neighborhood. Another is scheduled for Thursday in Bridgeport.

Arvid Lundberg is a PhD student at the Department of Social Anthropology since 2009. His PhD project deals with questions concerning political culture in the Jordanian protest movements during the Arab Spring.
Al-harakat and the political culture of Jordan's Arab Spring
The thesis describes the disunity within the protest movements (al-harakat) that emerged in Jordan in 2011, and it uses ethnographic material and interviews from some of the key actors and events in the history of these movements, e.g., from the protest movement in Dhiban, which many Jordanian political activists regard as the beginning of "Jordan's Arab Spring", from the protest movement in Haie al-Tafileh, one of the strongest protest movements in Amman in 2011, from the Higher Committee for Military Veterans, an organization led by retired military officers, who stood for the first – among the military – organized expression of discontent against the regime in the country's recent history, and from attempts to coordinate the protest movements' demands and strategies through the umbrella organization Youth of 24 March.
In all these meetings, conferences, and activities, there was a group of political activists who claimed to understand why the protest movements fragmented and tried countering this by coordinating the protest movements, institutionalizing them and getting them to work together to develop concrete alternatives to Jordan's current constitution, election and political party law, and to create an institution that oversees that the security services do not intervene in the parliamentary elections, and so on. Several of these activists had been members of a Jordanian political party, but were now politically independent because of what they perceived as an authoritarian political culture and certain ideological dead ends within these parties. These activists were driven by a, in a Jordanian context, relatively new understanding of political activism, which has points of contact with the reformulation of the Socialist Workers' Party of Germany that began in the late 19th century and the reformulation of the opposition movements in Eastern Europe where especially Solidarity was a pioneer. The thesis is a study of a Jordanian reformulated activism in 2011, which never became dominant among the protest movements. The thesis is in this respect a counterfactual study of Jordan's Arab Spring.
