With the slogan, “Global Warming Is Not a Crisis,” the think tank (which between 1999 and 2005 was funded by ExxonMobil) kicked off a two-day conference this morning in New York to debunk what it calls a “fake consensus” on the human causes of global warming.The conference program, featuring a slate of scientists and politicians, is a familiar litany of arguments against climate change orthodoxy, and includes panels exploring everything from the Medieval Warm Period to the failures of the Kyoto Protocol to the impact urban heat islands have on temperature change. Today, the conference released its rebuttal of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change reports, arguing that global warming isn’t as bad as commonly made out, isn’t caused by humans anyway, and doesn’t merit ex

Cultural Studies Now - An International ConferenceVenue: University of East London, Docklands CampusDate: July 19th – 22nd, 2007 The conference is now open for registration - online booking only.CULTURAL STUDIES NOW is a major international conference organised by the School of Social Sciences, Media & Cultural Studies (SSMCS) at the University of East London.Cultural Studies, as the paradigmatic interdisciplinary project, has always been defined by its relationships to proximate sets of ideas, practices and institutions.

Call for papers: 3rd International Conference on Communities and TechnologiesJune 28-30, 2007, Michigan State UniversityWorkshop: Memory practices in computer-mediated communities: a research methods workshopFull description at: https://ebusiness.tc.msu.edu/cct2007/page4j.htmlCommunity depends on memory; computer mediated community (CMC) depends on digital memory. Human memory is limited, corporeally bound, and subject to forgetting. As a consequence, communities develop other means of maintaining memory. Bowker (2005) argues that memory practices are infrastructure tools used to preserve memory in scientific communities. Information technologies are examples of memory practices that support community.In this workshop, we seek to explore the concept of memory practices in the study of community and broaden it beyond the scientific community to include CMC: communities of practice, interest communities, professional communities. We invite researchers of CMC to submit 5 page position pap

These include the US military and coalition forces, the Iraqi military, terrorist and Islamic fundamentalist groups (i.e. al-Qaeda, Abu Sayaaf, PLA, and whoever else is there using it as a combat zone training ground for carrying out military operations), and several different Sunni- and Shia-run militias.
