"We Are All Israelis": The Politics Of Colonial Comparisons, Alex Lubin Oct 2008

"We Are All Israelis": The Politics Of Colonial Comparisons, Alex Lubin

American Studies Faculty and Staff Publications

In the aftermath of the 9/11 terrorist attacks on the Pentagon and the World Trade Center, Americans sought to understand how threats from afar would alter everyday life within the boundaries of the nation. As they mourned and made sense of the tragedy, some turned to a comparison in order to give the moment its full weight. Chicago Rabbi Gary Gerson, who played a public role on television and in newspapers, attempted to help people cope with fear and death: "Humanity came apart in lower Manhattan today, and each of us is wounded. We mourn the loss of our innocence. …

South Valley Incorporation Feasibility Study (Revised), Lee A. Reynis, Molly J. Bleecker Oct 2008

South Valley Incorporation Feasibility Study (Revised), Lee A. Reynis, Molly J. Bleecker

BBER Publications

Determining the financial feasibility of a South Valley municipality requires developing estimates of the revenues that might be raised, and this in turn requires a careful reading of NM statutes to see what the city may be entitled to and what authority it has under state law, as well as estimating the tax bases and the levels of activity against which fees and charges for services will be assessed. It is also critical to determine how much it will cost to provide various municipal services to the South Valley. This study focuses on the costs and revenues associated with operating …

Oil And Gas Projects In The Western Amazon: Threats To Wilderness, Biodiversity, And Indigenous Peoples, Matt Finer, Clinton N. Jenkins, Stuart L. Pimm, Brian Keane, Carl Ross Aug 2008

Oil And Gas Projects In The Western Amazon: Threats To Wilderness, Biodiversity, And Indigenous Peoples, Matt Finer, Clinton N. Jenkins, Stuart L. Pimm, Brian Keane, Carl Ross

Latin American Energy Dialogue, White Papers and Reports

The western Amazon is the most biologically rich part of the Amazon basin and is home to a great diversity of indigenous ethnic groups, including some of the worlds last uncontacted peoples living in voluntary isolation. Unlike the eastern Brazilian Amazon, it is still a largely intact ecosystem. Underlying this landscape are large reserves of oil and gas, many yet untapped. The growing global demand is leading to unprecedented exploration and development in the region. Without improved policies, the increasing scope and magnitude of planned extraction means that environmental and social impacts are likely to intensify. We review the most …


Testicular Embryonal Carcinoma Cell Proliferation In Vitro: Effect Of B152, An Anti-Hyperglycosylated Hcg Monoclonal Antibody, Lawanda Jim, Laurence Cole Jul 2008

Testicular Embryonal Carcinoma Cell Proliferation In Vitro: Effect Of B152, An Anti-Hyperglycosylated Hcg Monoclonal Antibody, Lawanda Jim, Laurence Cole

Undergraduate Medical Student Research

Hyperglycosylated human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG-H), a variant of hCG, has been shown to promote the growth and invasion of trophoblast cells in early pregnancy placental implantation, choriocarcinoma and testicular germ cell malignancies. In a previous study (15), hCG-H was found to have a significant effect on the growth of a choriocarcinoma cell line, JEG-3, and a testicular embroyonal carcinoma cell line, NTERA. It was also shown that, B152, an anti-hCG-H specific monoclonal antibody, significantly inhibited the growth of these cells in vitro and in vivo murine models. In this study, we quantified the amount of hCG-H produced by two embryonal …


Cooperative Federal Structure: A Workable Political-Economy Approach For A New Nepal, Alok Bohara Jul 2008

Cooperative Federal Structure: A Workable Political-Economy Approach For A New Nepal, Alok Bohara

Himalayan Research Papers Archive

The two main ethnocentric proposals for a federal structure –9 ethnic enclaves [CPN (M)] and the 1000 KM long east-west narrow corridor(s) [e.g., Madhesi parties’ demand for a single Terai state] as state(s)— are the two formal proposals that have drawn much attention of the lawmakers. Many, including this author, are of the view that the restructuring of the state needs to go beyond the cultural sentiment to incorporate many other issues such as: ecological interdependence, economy of scale, ethnic harmony, and comparative resource endowments. To that end, a cooperative federal structure proposed here takes the twelve ethnic regional enclaves …

Book Review: Lincoln And The Court By Brian Mcginty, Joshua E. Kastenberg

Faculty Scholarship

This book is unique in its approach and topic. Its quality ranks with other recent works on Lincoln and the Civil War such as Doris Kearns Goodwin's Team of Rivals, despite its minor shortcomings. The real winner in this book is the reader. Anyone interested in the expansion of military law, particularly in the post-9/ 11 world, will find great merit in McGinty's work.

El Dia De Los Muertos, The Death And Rebirth Of The Environment Movement, Eileen Gauna Jul 2008

El Dia De Los Muertos, The Death And Rebirth Of The Environment Movement, Eileen Gauna

Faculty Scholarship

In 2004, in response to an article titled Death of Environmentalism, many in the environmental community engaged in a debate about whether the environmental movement was capable of adequately inspiring the public to effectively respond to climate change. This Article examines the strand of this debate that centered upon responses from environmental justice actors to the larger environmental community. Specifically, the ensuing conversations raised questions about who, precisely, is the environmental community, what is its historical legacy, how should the environment be conceptualized to promote more effective climate policy, the role of technocratic solutions, and the need for transformative coalition …

The Transition From Unincorporated Community To Municipality In The South Valley, Joshua M. Akers Jun 2008

The Transition From Unincorporated Community To Municipality In The South Valley, Joshua M. Akers

The South Valley is a diverse area at the heart of the rural-urban interface in the Middle Rio Grande Valley. The proposition of forming a municipality in this area is full of possibility and rife with challenges. It is the intent of this report to offer some assistance with the process of incorporation and to offer an examination, however brief and incomplete, of issues of concern that will accompany any incorporation. The report consists of three parts: a historical review of incorporation in New Mexico and the Southwestern United States; an examination of geographical, social and political issues unique to …

'Bajo Su Sombra': The Narration And Reception Of Colonial Urban Space In Early Nineteenth-Century Havana, Cuba, Paul Barrett Niell May 2008

'Bajo Su Sombra': The Narration And Reception Of Colonial Urban Space In Early Nineteenth-Century Havana, Cuba, Paul Barrett Niell

Art & Art History ETDs

In early nineteenth-century Havana, Cuba, a small commemorative monument was erected on the Plaza de Armas to honor the site of the city's founding. Through academic history painting, Neoclassical architecture, and the appropriation of symbolic urban space, this memorial reconstructed the sixteenth-century history of the city for nineteenth-century audiences. This addition to the plaza could be seen as an extension of the Bourbon Reforms, which aimed to modernize the city by introducing public works and pedagogical methods that would make this Cuban colony function more efficiently in the insterests of Spain. However, upon closer examination, the memorial for the plaza …
