Third Annual Cultural Studies Graduate Student Conference at the
University of New Mexico, Albuquerque
April 8-9, 2011
Keynote speaker: Elisabeth Boyi, Stanford University
Representations of Africa:
They cannot represent themselves; they must be represented.
--Karl Marx, The Eighteenth Brumaire of Louis Bonaparte
That a purportedly universalizing movement of "globalization" should have the effect of rendering Africa once again "dark" in the eyes of the wider world suggests an intimate link, in this respect, between the question of economic marginalization in a global economy and that of membership in a global society.
--James Ferguson, Global Shadows: Africa in the Neoliberal World Order
Africa is a conundrum. It is a space and a discourse of conflicting fantasies and repressed realities. Within this vast, complex web of ideas surrounding Africa, portrayals of exotic purity conflict with images of deceptive darkness. Can we understand Africa beyond the colonial language that once characterized it? What are the conflicts and conversations between previous and present discourses on Africa? Exploring and understanding past and present representations of Africa is crucial as we become more interconnected in an idealized global world.
We are seeking contributions that investigate past and present ways in which Africa has been represented in literature, the arts, film, philosophy, public debates, etc. While our focus is on Africa, we welcome submissions dealing with similar issues in other regions of the world.
Leading Questions are:
Possible session topics include but are not limited to:
Conference Structure: This conference/workshop will be comprised of the keynote address and two sessions on Friday, followed by two additional sessions on Saturday.

Stryker Accused of Paying Kickbacks to Doctors
In March of 2005, the U.S. Department of Justice issued a subpoena requesting documents from Stryker Orthopaedics. These documents, which included consulting contracts, professional service agreements, and remuneration agreements between the company and surgeons or medical school graduates, were to be reviewed because of concerns that Stryker had paid kickbacks to those willing to promote their hip implant products, which would be a violation of federal law.
Stryker has recently been in the news because of a Stryker hip recall concerning the metal-on-metal Rejuvenate Modular and ABG II hip implants, which were associated with device corrosion and deterioration. The recall was announced on July 4, 2012, and is likely to spawn a new wave of Stryker hip lawsuits across the nation.
Investigation proves Stryker paid kickbacks
The lawsuit brought by the U.S. Department of Justice in 2005 concerned not only Stryker, but other hip implant companies, including DePuy, Zimmer, Biomet, and Smith & Nephew. All five companies were accused of paying kickbacks to doctors.
The investigation by the department uncovered evidence that the companies paid huge amounts of money to orthopedic surgeons so they would market and use specific products. Patients, however, were left in the dark as to the tens to hundreds of thousands of dollars being paid to surgeons for consulting contracts. Lavish trips and other expensive rewards were also showered on these doctors, who failed to disclose to their patients the reasons for choosing one implant over another.
Government attorneys concluded in 2008 that the payments were contrary to ethical standards and federal law. Four companies were ordered to pay fines. Stryker, however, was the only company that did not have to pay. Because they voluntarily cooperated with the U.S. Attorney's Office, they were exempted from fines, but agreed to be monitored for 18 months.
Centralization in NJ may lead to Stryker hip settlements
The next year, in 2009, the New Jersey Supreme Court agreed to centralize all Stryker hip lawsuits concerning the Trident hip implant into one court in Atlantic County. These cases typically involve patients who are seeking Stryker hip settlements for alleged injured when the Trident hips caused bone loss, fractures, or premature implant failures.
The Trident was released in 2003, and is a ceramic-on-ceramic device. The company issued a Stryker hip recall on the Trident Acetabular and the Trident Hemispherical Cup Systems in 2008 because of problems linked to the devices.
Stryker hip recall announced in 2012
The more recent Stryker hip recall involving the Rejuvenate and ABG II implants came about after patients complained of symptoms related to metal poisoning. The Rejuvenate has a modular-neck system that places a metal neck into a metal stem. These components have been found to rub against one another in some cases, causing metal erosion and contamination, which can lead to tissue and bone damage.
Patients who have been injured by any of these devices may be eligible for Stryker hip settlements.

European Court of Human Rights finds that Greece must allow same-sex civil partnerships
Timothy Kincaid
November 7th, 2013
In the evolution of thinking on marriage equality in Europe, several nations started with a marriage-lite structure, a recognition of couples which stopped short of full rights and obligations of marriage. Ironically, this proved to be popular with some straight couples who wanted a less formal structure, an intro-level recognition while they decided whether they wanted a full marriage.
In 2008, to meet the demand for limited couple recognition, Greece decided, "Yes, let's do that gay couple thing… but with a twist." So they created civil partnerships, a formalization of rights of cohabiting couples and – turning the idea on its head – they specifically excluded gay couples.
Several same-sex couples challenged the law in the European Court of Human Rights and the decision has been made. (AFP)
Civil unions should not be reserved for heterosexual couples, the European Court of Human Rights (ECHR) ruled Thursday, condemning Greece for creating a "life partner" legal category that excludes gays.
Judges in Strasbourg said that authorities in Orthodox Christian Greece had not offered "convincing and weighty reasons capable of justifying the exclusion of same-sex couples" when passing a 2008 law.
The judges noted that a
European Union member of the Council of Europe need not offer marriage rights or even couple recognition to same-sex couples. But if they create new structures as an alternative to marriage, they cannot make restrictions based on sexual orientation.
The ruling applies to Greece and possibly to Lithuania, which also offers straights-only non-marriage couple recognition.

May 2, 2016
Excessive rain and flooding late last year and early in 2010 has some farmers in the east looking to the federal government for help.
Governor Beverly Perdue wants Washington to get disaster designations for farmers in 13 North Carolina counties.
These counties include, Craven, Carteret and Onslow.
In particular, soybean, cotton and wheat crops have been affected.
Several farmers we spoke to say they'll forego a wheat crop altogether in 2010.
A disaster designation is a key step in making emergency loans available to farmers whose crops have been impacted by extreme weather conditions.
Craven County Ag officials say younger farmers will feel the most financial impact.
Ag officials say while the more experienced family farms that have been around for decades won't feel a huge impact, the conditions are still slowing normal operations.

Offensive T-shirts with tongue-in-cheek phrases surrounding rape are being petitioned on Change.org. FYourT is an Etsy online shop that sells attention-grabbing, but awful T-shirts. With the motto, "T-shirts, lame but expensive," these $12.99 shirts boast horrific phrases ranging from, "Snort Coke, Cheaper Than Lipo," to "Killing's More Fun To A Beat" and "Jesus Is A Chill Guy, But His Father Is A Prick." But it's the T-shirts with rape subject matter that's causing a stir.
Phrases like "Rape Me Gently," "I'm A Sensitive Guy. I Only Rape Pregnant Women" and "Old People Are Useless. You Can't Even Rape Them." not only go against basic human decency, but clearly violates Etsy's terms of use, so Change.org has started a petition to get these awful shirts removed from the site. Even if these shirts are removed, we will still be left with 11 pages of offensive T-shirts that people will undoubtedly still purchase with the intention of shocking the people who see them in it.
We're living in a terrible time of sensationalism. The youth looks to entertainment to see over-the-top displays of sexuality, often numbing them from troubling issues like the acceptance of rape in our culture. With stories like Steubenville and Maryville bubbling up, we're faced with the terrible reality that rape is no longer a sensitive topic and that victims are starting to be blamed more than the attacker.

text: The xx map the viral spread of their second album Culture 11 September 12 by Ian Steadman The xx The only thing better than an album that's a hit these days is an album that's a viral hit -- perhaps that's why the xx are mapping the spread of their second album around the world.Coexist, which comes out today, was first uploaded to the band's site on 3 September for fans to stream. The members of the band only gave the link to that site to one of their fans, but since then every new share on social media has appeared as a new beam of light connecting the source to the recipient. It's a cute way to demonstrate both how universal their fanbase is and how sometimes the hubs of content sharing aren't exactly what you might expect (hello, all the xx fans in Kansas City).There's a slider that lets you see the growth and spread of the album stream since its launch, broken down into three hour periods, and starting with a single dot in the UK at 6am on 3 September. By 6am on 4 September there are already people in Finland sharing it with people in Colombia, and someone in Tokyo sharing with someone in Lisbon.By clicking on the link in this story, you're adding another dot to the map -- wherever you are in the world. The xx won the 2010 Mercury Music Prize for their self-titled debut album, and Coexist continues with same exploration of breathy space and downtempo post-dubstep-slash-indie-r'n'b -- it currently has a Metacritic score of 79, and is a favourite at the bookmakers for this year's Mercury Prize, again.

They were against it before they were for it. Time is not on my side, not for any prolonged writing pleasures anyway. So let's try this out as a new feature between features.
- Fifty-six percent of Virginians support amending the state constitution to ban same-sex marriage, but only 46% support it when the text of the proposed amendment is actually read to them. (via GoodAsYou.org)
- Eureka! Vacationing gays are descending on the beautiful Ozarks in Arkansas, and the locals aren't quite sure what to make of it.
- First we had the book The End of Gay. Is it now The End of Ex-Gay?
- A British court refused to recognize a lesbian couple's Canadian marriage as a full marriage in Britain, although it can be recognized as a civil partnership.
- Two men were beaten in the head with baseball bats and a third was stabbed by three assailants as they were leaving San Diego's Pride festival at Balboa Park late Saturday night.
- Imagine having a neighbor who constantly hurls anti-gay and anti-AIDS threats at you. A Rhode Island judge puts a stop to it.

Talk me out of it, or Range Rover vs Cayenne
Ok I'm writing this after a few cocktails, so a little levity is expected. The wife is on the hunt for a new vehicle, which always gets me looking to. I have been looking at 03 Cayenne S' and Range Rover HSE's.
Both are great vehicles, and both have their issues, I see rennlist calling the 03's the Beta version and I'm sure the Rovers are the same. But on a direct comparison the Rovers win for what's included in the price and style, but I would love to have two - two season Porsches in the garage.
I would love to hear from anyone that is or was in the same boat and the trails and tribulations of each.
Thanks for watching, try the shrimp, I'll be here all week....

From my research I would not get a Cayenne older than an '05 and then it would have to have some kind of dealer certified warranty (best) or an aftermarket warranty.
Not much traffic here, Rennlist has an active Cayenne board w/some knowledeable folks there.
I see you have a Disco II. I have a 1999 Disco II, which has just come off it's exteneded warranty. I have had it since new and have not really had many problems, certainly not anything near the reputation of them. In the last year I have had more issues, like both air bags on the rear suspension (it has ACE and SLS) needing to be replaced and I keep after the leaks. Transmission seals, head gasket, etc. I am glad I had the ext. warranty. I'll probably be moving it on in the next year or after something major goes wrong Since you are considering an RR, I guess your expereince has not been bad. Wife kind of liked the RR Sport when it first came out. We were seriously considering the Cayenne, but after reading about some of the problems and Porsche's attitude along with our own bad experinces with the local Porsche dealerships, we have pretty much decided not to go that route. Seriously considering a Cadillac SRX. In the past I have needed the off road capabilites, but that has now come to an end, so that is no longer a major factor.
Good luck with your decision.

Thanks for your reply. Yes the Land Rovers (and Discos) do have they're quirks, as I see so do the Porsches. I've looked at all the same priced stuff, Tahoe, SRX, etc., and on the more positive note the US cars would be cheaper to fix.
Most of my Disco stuff was fixed under warranty, but is now off. I did get a little concerned when I saw "head gasket" as my old Range Rover had it's go and I actually had to have the head machined for warpage. This makes me a little concerned with the RR choice as well. I do believe the British use crappy steel for these vehicles.
I think I'll hold off until the new year to see what happens with prices, as I cannot see spending 50-60K on a vehicle that can need major expensive repairs.....especially when there are know issues that the Company won't acknowledge as a design flaw.

The RR's are about the same price, but have more features (such as NAV) included in the price. 03 was the first year of the new styled RR too.

Do you want to earn big money through the Internet? How do you change 6$ into 6000$? Reading this message you can change your life! It had changed my life too.I happened upon this message in one forum,and I decided try to do it.As usual, rambling on all sorts of forums I found this article which told me that I can earn thousands dollars for a few weeks only if I put up 6$.Oh!-thought I.It perhaps one of the dibs for stupid guys. But I decided to read it completelly, and understand «what does it mean Herbalife?» And «what can this firm suggest us?.»Then I read that I must send in 1% on 6th purse which are listed later.Then you must strike First purse out from this list thereby having deposed this list onto one line up. 6th line became empty.There are you enter the number of your WMZ purse and send this information with your number of purse in 200 different forums. None tricks! I thought that I can lose nothing but 6$ and Idecided to try it.And... I didnt believe but in 7 days money start to get into my purse! I was shocked! I thought, maybe thats all and money stop to come in my purse in a few days. I was surprised, when I saw 25$ in my purse in a week, then more then 1000$ on the end of second week, and near 10000$ to the end of third week.!!!On the 4th week I counted near 42000$! I payed only 6$ and I receive This perfect result! Cool!! I hadnt much money before I find this article. I didnt believe in it until I started to receive money order from all of the world. I bought everything that I need and it come in handy.
And now I will tell you how does this sistem work and why.I will , if you do exactly everything that you can read later, you will earn much more money that you think, and you shouldnt make any efforts!And please:read it a few times!Please, follow this directions and money will start to come in your purse!Its very simple! And legally.You deposit consist only 6$...Important:its not a deception and its not unduly, with all this going on you risk nothing and its work!ATTENTION: precisely follow the directions and more then 50000$ will in you purse during 20-60 days!it works thanks to honesty our participants.
So? May I introduce you 3 main a great stride toward a success:if you havent these 6th WMZ purse so you must sign in http://www.webmoney.us. Acquaint please very attantively this system, how it worked, and choose optimal for you variant of
replenishment your purse (you can read about it in www.webmoney.us/operations.shtml) Then deposit 6$
in your purse.
2)at first, take please, number of WMZ purse from list and send on it 1$.In flield \" notes"\ write please,\"add me to the list of WMZ purse"\. everything that you done - you created some service, and it was absolutelly legally!You ask a lawful service for which you pay. Send 6$ for the next WMZ purses ( in 1$ on every purse) 1. Z364083035174 2. Z220940822302 3. Z372417398787 4. Z289207315460 5. Z618146542071 6. Z424457914038. And now cross first purse out from this list,thereby having moved this list on one line up(6 became 5, 5 became 4, etc) and enter, please, on the 6th line number of your WMZ purse.
3) you can do different overpatching but you must keep the main idea.Lodge this article on, no less then 200 forums and News Groups. remember!the more you lodge articles, the higher will be your income, and this income depends on you.This business continue to live and prosper because all our participants are honest and serious. So when you arrive at first position,you will have thousands dollars as a creator of list!It cost only 6$ and quite trivial work!The essentials, this thing work!it's cool!
don't put it off till tomorrow, do it NOW!THE TIME IS MONEY!
and now I'll tell you , why you really lose nothing, and how you gain this money!
for example, I'll recieve only 5 answers from 200 distributions ( it's minimum ).So I receive 5$ being only on 5th position in the list!now these 5 persons(each person) make in 200 distributions. with my purse minimum on the 5th position, and 5 people answer to the first fifth . so now I have 25$!Then these 25 people make in 200 distributions with my purse but now my number are on the 4th line( because they enter their numbers)and on their query answer 5 people. And at present I have 125$!etc. So when I will be on the first position of the list I will have 15625$ in my purse!!!!!Is it impressive number isnt it? taking into account that your primary deposit is only 6$!When your number havent already been in the list, you simply send 6$ on the same purse that like at first time (you must keep this article in your notebook)and again having moved numbers of purse and cross the first number off, enter your number in the 6th line and again make a distributions!can you imagine that 1000 people in the world join to the internet and read these articles every day!They do it like you at this moment!so?!can you spent only 6$ that check , is this system work or not?And if you do everything precisely, how it describe above, it will be working!
this line is for pessimists:if suddenly this business will died and nobody send me money!is that so tragic?
Every day in Internet show up 20000-50000 new users!as predicted of specialists only in 2006 the number of Internet users increase from 9 to 21 million people!what chances that they will want to test themselves in some new sides? remember:honest and only peoples honest allow to flourish this business!
and at last:it's really big axiom : if you want to take something - you must to give something!and if you want to take more, you must give more!

Fishfood you can find in the garden
Hey guys, seeing as how spring is fast approaching i was wondering what kind of insects we could feed our live bearers during the warmer months. Our gardens will be full of bugs so does anyone suggest any specific ones to feed swords/platies/mollies?
don't feed insects from outside in your yard because of the risk of fertilizer contamination. Just stick to the flake food bud.
I vermipost earthworms (worms I keep in a bin that eat my leftover food scraps and turn it into castings that are great for my garden). 1077 told me that fish love earthworms and that they are good for fish. They were too large for my fish so I had to chop them up.
I nearly :vomit:Gross, never again. Too bad as they are organic and pesticide free.
If you don't use pesticides or fertilizers you can always root around the dirt in your yard and find some.
Good luck chopping them up. :sick:
My fish go wild for chopped earthworms. Its best to try and get some of the soil out first, which is a pretty unpleasant task, and chop them really fine.
I've also fed, gnats/flys, that i catch in the air with a fine net when they're swarming together - my hatchet fish like these. They also eat small non-biting ants and little moths that i find in the house sometimes
ok thanks, ill try the little flies since i dont have to cut them up and the chances of them having been exposed to pesticides is les than the other bugs i found on the bushes and trees.
