Not sure about the provenance of the following ad (submission), but it's certainly interesting (disgusting?).
Anonymous Comrade writes:"Elite Base can be found on www.proshieldint.com it offers soldiers leaving the forces to work in the increasingly rewarding market place of Private Security Companies...
Earning more then $400 a day is enough for most soldiers to make the move!! Jobs mainly in Iraq are available for all trades. From bomb disposal, doctors and close protection.
Is it any wonder that sites like this offer a great alternative for ex-soldiers to use their skills in a more rewarding avenue."
2005 Left Forum
New York City, April 125-16, 2005
As many supporters of the Socialist Scholars Conference know, 7 of the 16 members of that conference's Board of Directors resigned last spring in protest of the lack of democratic and participatory governance procedures. Nevertheless, we value the two decades-old tradition of the Socialist Scholars Conference and wish the remaining board members well. However, in response to numerous requests from individuals and organizations, we ourselves have decided to sponsor an event, a conference to be held at the CUNY Graduate Center on the weekend of April 15-16, and we are asking you and others to participate with us in this conference.
"Glowlab" New York City Psychogeographers Update
Christina Ray,
Dear friends of Glowlab,
As some of you may know, we've been working behind the scenes for the past several months to build ourselves a brand new website. We're excited to announce that beginning in mid-March, Glowlab will be published in the form of a bi-monthly web-based magazine for psychogeographic projects. Our regular members and guest contributors are getting set to bring you fresh psychogeographic adventures in the form of performances, walks, interventions, multimedia/tech-based work and more. Project documentation and related articles will be published in every issue, and we'll offer a running calendar of offline events for public participation.
CKUT Radio: Resisting the U.S. Presidential Inauguration
On Thursday January 20th, as George W. Bush was sworn in for a second term
as U.S. president in Washington DC, thousands of demonstrators took the
streets of downtown DC, to voice rejection of both the domestic and
foreign policies of the current U.S. Administration. A key focus of the
large-scale demonstrations, estimated at 10 000 people, was the ongoing
internationally condemned U.S. lead military occupation of Iraq, in which
according to public health experts from the U.S., an estimated 100 000
Iraqi's have died.
This radio segment features an interview with Lelia Spears of DC Anarchist
Resistance, a group formed in the spirit of directly confronting Bush's
inauguration, who on January 20th confronted police lines guarding Bush's
inauguration parade route. Also this radio segment features an interview
with Drew Poe, from DC Indymedia and DC Radio Co-Op who spoke about the
independent media convergence, which took place to facilitate alternative
coverage to the corporate / state-run media of Bush's inauguration.
Encuentro: a Peoples' Global Action infopoint in New
York City
New York City is joining Peoples' Global Action!
We are popular educators, anti-war and palestinian
solidarity organizers, prison abolitionists, and
anarchist academics — in short, we are rebels...
New York City may have Wall Street, hundreds of
corporate headquarters, and the largest police force
in the world, but it is also home to diverse
communities, beautiful cultures of resistance, and a
legacy of radical struggle. We live here in this major
metropolis of the North with all of its resources
(both material and cultural) and it is from here that
we join Peoples’ Global Action (PGA).
Libertarian Days of Protest
Porto Alegre, Brazil, Jan. 26–31, 2005
The need of legitimation of the State through the destruction of protective organizations and of the workers' mutual aid is today a concrete reality, and built historically. Military force destroys all of the initiatives and attempts on the part of the workers of solving their lacks.

"Critical Management Studies" Papers Sought
American Studies Association Conference
Washington, DC, November 3–6, 2005
Looking for one or possibly two more papers for the American Studies Association Conference, 2005:
Panel: "Critical Management Studies in American Studies"
Conference theme: "Groundwork: Space and Place in American Culture."
Please note that as the deadline is imminent, I need to confirm panelists no later than January 26th. This panel will critically explore the concept, "management." Until the
relatively recent emergence of the field of Critical Management Studies,
management has received little attention by scholars interested in
issues of power, authority, agency, and identity. A critical engagement
with management therefore signals important new work in American
studies. How has management — as a field, a community, and a set of
practices, theories, and heuristics — shaped notions of space and place
in the United States? How does management function as ideology,
aesthetics, politics, and as a conceptual lens in local, national, and
international contexts? How has management generated and proliferated
particular ways of seeing, imagining, and knowing, and with what
consequences for everyday life and social formations?
Please send your abstract (no more than 350 words please), contact
information, and a 1-page CV to gray0119@umn.edu. I will respond to
all submissions immediately upon receiving them. (The conference submission deadline is
January 28th).
