Hundreds killed in Ivory Coast violence (from Shrake Tales)

Hundreds of people died last week in Ivory Coast in an attempt to overthrow Laurent Gbagbo's forces near the town of Duekoe.
Supporters of the country's UN-recognized president, Alassane Ouattara, fought against Gbagbo's forces after Gbagbo regained control of the state TV headquarters, reported the Guardian.
It is unclear how many have died. The United Nations said Saturday that 330 were killed, reported the New York Times, but the International Committee of the Red Cross said more than 800 people were killed.

Diablog Collective Summary--Section 2, Group 6 (from politics of sex: spring 2011)

Our group focused on how and why female athletes are being sexualized in advertisements. In general, the advertisements display female athletes who are successful in male dominated sports in a feminine, yet independent way. The Carty article focused on how these advertisements were viewed by different feminist perspectives. Radical feminists believe that showing female athletes as feminine and vulnerable stems from a society's patriarchal institutions and adds to the social constructions surrounding females.

Hibaku (?exposure?): Re-opening the book on an old word
