Factual grounds of the Indictment:
As alleged in the Indictment, there is grounded suspicion that as a member of the Special Police Unit of the 2nd Šekovići Detachment, RS MoI, during the period from 10 to 19 July 1995, with the intent to exterminate, in part, a group of Bosniak people, the accused Željko Ivanović participated in a joint criminal enterprise with the aim of forcibly transferring around 40 thousand civilians from the UN Safe Area of Srebrenica and execute more than 7,000 Bosniaks. According to the Indictment, on 12 July 1995 the accused Ivanović participated in the search of Bosniak villages around Potočari aiming to expel them to the territories controlled by the Army of RBiH. On 13 July 1995, as further alleged in the Indictment, the accused Ivanović participated in in ensuring that the road is passable in order to carry out an unobstructed transport of Bosniak population by trucks and buses; he opened and closed the road for traffic in accordance with the plan and thus decisively contributed to the execution of the plan to forcibly transfer Bosniak people. On the same day, the accused Ivanović allegedly participated in the capturing of thousands of Bosniak men who were trying to escape from the UN Safe Area. As alleged in the Indictment, the accused Ivanović participated in escorting a column of over one thousand of captured Bosniaks from the village of Sandići to the warehouse of the Kravica Farming Cooperative, knowing that they would be executed. After detaining the captured Bosniaks in the warehouse, the 2nd Detachment members started killing the captured Bosniaks by firing from automatic weapons and by throwing hand grenades. The Accused Ivanović allegedly got out of the semicircle formation from which the prisoners were fired at, and together with several other members of the 2nd Detachment he went around the warehouse intending to prevent a possible escape of prisoners through windows at the rear side of the warehouse. According to the Indictment, at the same time other members of the 2nd Detachment, while firing from their submachine-guns, automatic rifles and throwing hand grenades from the front part of the warehouse, killed the most of over one thousand of captured Bosniak men
Counts of the indictment:
Željko Ivanović is charged with the criminal offense of Genocide in violation of Article 171 of the Criminal Code of Bosnia and Herzegovina (CC BiH) in conjunction with Article 180 (1) of CC BiH.
Course of the proceedings:
The Court confirmed the Indictment on 4 June 2009.
On 29 June 2009, at the plea hearing before the Section I for War Crimes of the Court, the Accused Ivanović pleaded not guilty.
The main trial commenced on 27 August 2009.
Following a main trial, on 24 April 2012 the Trial Panel of the Section I for War Crimes of the Court of BiH pronounced a Trial Verdict finding the accused Željko Ivanović guilty of the criminal offense of Crimes against Humanity in violation of Article 172(1)(a) as read with Article 29 of the Criminal Code of BiH (CC of BiH). Due to the commission of this crime the Trial Panel sentenced the accused Ivanović to imprisonment for a term of 13 years.
On 16 November 2012 the session before the Appellate Panel was held in this case.
On 5 December 2012, in the Željko Ivanović (S1 1 K 003442 12 Kžk) case the Court has sent out a decision upholding the appeals filed by the Prosecutor's Office of BiH and Defence Lawyer for the accused Željko Ivanović and revoking the Court's Verdict of 24 April 2012 and ordering a retrial before the Appellate Panel of the Court.
The main trial before the Panel of the Section I for War Crimes of the Appellate Division of the Court of BIH was initiated on 4 February 2013.
The Appeals Panel of the Court of Bosnia and Herzegovina handed down on 17 June 2013, the Verdict in the case v. Željko Ivanović finding the Accused Ivanović guilty of the criminal offense of Genocide in violation of Article 171(a) as read with Article 31 of the Criminal Code of Bosnia and Herzegovina (Accessory). In that regard, the Court of Bosnia and Herzegovina sentenced the Accused to a 24-year long-term imprisonment. The time the Accused spent in custody shall be credited towards the pronounced sentence.

Shrek Forever After 3D(2010)After challenging an evil dragon, rescuing a beautiful princess and saving your in-laws' kingdom, what's an ogre to do? Well, if you're Shrek, you suddenly wind up a domesticated family man. Instead of scaring villagers away like he used to, a reluctant Shrek now agrees to autograph pitch forks. What's happened to this ogre's roar? Longing for the days when he felt like a "real ogre," Shrek is duped into signing a pact with the smooth-talking dealmaker, Rumpelstiltskin. Shrek suddenly finds himself in a twisted, alternate version of Far Far Away, where ogres are hunted, Rumpelstiltskin is king and Shrek and Fiona have never met. Now, it's up to Shrek to undo all he's done in the hopes of saving his friends, restoring his world and reclaiming his one True Love.

Published: June 24, 2008
Updated: Sept. 14, 2010
Cancer Rehabilitation Services
Tumor Suppressor Gene in Flies May Provide Insights for Human Brain Tumors
My mother was diagnosed with a brain tumor in 1991, but thankfully that tumor was benign, and was removed with surgery. In 2005, she was diagnosed with another brain tumor. At the age of 75, I was reluctant to let them operate on her brain again.
After talking with her family physician, Dr. Martin DeGraw, he referred us to Dr. Allan Friedman, the same physician who performed my mother's surgery in 1991. I felt somewhat relieved after remembering the special care she had received 15 years earlier. After talking with Dr. Friedman and him remembering my mother from 15 years earlier, we agreed to have the surgery performed. The surgery was performed on November 28, 2005.
This time the tumor was malignant, but we did not know that until the surgery. After the surgery, Dr. Friedman explained that it was malignant but that he felt he'd removed the cancer with the tumor. Hearing the word "malignant," I became upset and started crying. My family lives four hours way, which is not exactly a short ride. I called all the family members and told them the bad news, and we started preparing for the worst.
Not knowing how to tell my mother that the tumor was cancerous, I waited for Dr. Friedman the next day to find out if he had told her the bad news, or when I should tell her.
After crying all night the night before, can you believe how I felt when I saw Dr. Friedman the next day, and he reminded me that he had said that he felt as though he had removed all the cancer with the tumor? Because I was so upset after hearing the word "malignant" I didn't hear the part about the cancer being removed. That was the first time in my life I was happy to retract a statement that I had made to my family.
I had to bring my mother back to see Dr. Friedman in six months, and it would be then that we'd know whether she would need chemotherapy or radiation. By the grace of God and Dr. Friedman, my mother did not need either. She was cancer-free.
I would like the world to know that Dr. Friedman is not just a rich person's doctor -- he treats everyone as though they are special.
After hearing that he was the surgeon that operated on Senator Kennedy, I was bursting with joy to know that I'd had a chance to meet such a special person, who also saved my mother's life not once, but twice.
Thank you very much, Dr. Friedman, and may God bless you and your family as he has blessed ours.

Kokomo Tribune
---- — Commissioners aren't 'interested in facts'
Industrial wind turbines, slated to be foisted upon us, will adversely affect every taxpayer in Howard County. Damage won't be limited to just those nearly 3,000 residents who will live beneath them. Total income to the county from the turbines over an 11-year period will only add up to $4 million. For a county whose yearly budget is $39 million to $42 million, this sum is paltry.
E.ON will destroy drainage and roads in eastern Howard County. This area is a swamp. Much is considered flood plain. It's taken millions of dollars over decades to lay drainage tile, and we still flood easily. Drainage tiles will be crushed. The 60-foot diameter turbine bases, multiplied by 100 turbines, equals 6,000 feet of pavement on former farm fields, creating new drainage problems. The 12-foot-deep bases will also act as underground dams, disrupting underground water flow.
Roads were once terrible. The millions to build decent roads were spread over decades. Our county budget will suddenly be stressed to restore infrastructure! With little income from turbines, where will money come from to restore our infrastructure destroyed by them? Will taxes go up? Will Howard County go bankrupt? All of Howard County will pay this bill.
Anyone traveling here will be endangered. Safety issues for those around turbines are staggering. Yet the commissioners want to construct them right by roads everyone uses. If there is an accident, LifeLine helicopters cannot access this area, putting many at risk!
Slurry put on roads contains silica. Silica dust stirred up by driving the roads can cause silicosis, a fatal lung disease, putting all citizens at risk.
Once turbines are constructed, no new homes or businesses can be built. The county is locked into the setbacks for future expansion. People's property values go down, decreasing property taxes and further depleting county income. The six jobs created aren't local hires.
Turbines attract no one and drive people away. Yet our commissioners told us they aren't interested in facts.
Turbines aren't green! Much mining is required to acquire metals to construct them. Smelting metals takes coal. Making one 500-foot turbine is like manufacturing 100 automobiles. To make the millions of yards of concrete, rock has to be heated to at least 2,500 degrees Fahrenheit using fossil fuel. The turbines, up 300 feet, each contain 200 gallons of oil that can leak or catch fire.
Turbines don't save fossil fuel, they waste it while creating inefficient, costly energy, if the wind blows.
Gays, abortionists and illegals have rights. However, the citizens of Howard County have no rights! A German wind company dictates to our county, forcing us to live with these Chinese-made turbines. Our citizens are ignored, not allowed to say no.
Months of research was done by citizens to prove the folly of this enterprise, yet our commissioners are sentencing all of Howard County to a planned disaster. Is it right that three men have the power to foist such a catastrophe upon us all?

ALLDATA Collision is a great tool and it is necessary for operating our business. Our estimators use it often and it absolutely makes us more efficient. Without it, I believe we would be at a competitive disadvantage.
Dean Fisher, CARSTAR Yorkville (Yorkville, Illinois)
It helps with our efficiencies. It saves time and money. We don't have to take cars to a dealer and the information we need is readily available. ALLDATA's tech support is great.
Frank Phelps and Dean Aycoth, Scott Auto body Shop (Charlotte, North Carolina)
ALLDATA Collision has proved to be very beneficial to us. It has provided us with the correct codes for the projects that we are working on. We had one situation where we worked on a BMW, and to justify the work to the insurance company, we had to show them the exact procedures from the ALLDATA system. We were able to negotiate with the insurance company and saved quite a bit of money.
Dennis Dean Gamba, Cranston Collision Center (Cranston , Rhode Island)
We use ALLDATA information every day for both mechanical repair and collision jobs. We love the collision request feature. The library is fast; we've never been left hanging. Collision Request is my direct window to the vast world of manufacturers' collision information. ALLDATA gives me the ability to tell insurance companies how it should be done. We had a 2004 Volvo Cross Country with front-end damage. Because of ALLDATA's information, we were able to section the rail, saving about $5,000. Without that information we would have had to replace the entire rail. For me, it's all about knowing that we are doing the job right and that the vehicle is safe when it leaves here. I have a child and I want to know that any child is safe in a vehicle we repair.

Okay - I have been making and sharing shared parameter files for years... For some reason today a co-worker's shared parameter file is invalid or could not be read - image attached...
We have run a couple of tests - I can create one on my computer and send to her without any issues... Any that she creates and sends to me - is invalid... WHY???
I made sure she has all the service packs and all that - so I am really at a loss..
Any ideas?
I will attach one of the test.txt files..
Solved! Go to Solution.
Are both you and your co-worker running the same version of Revit? Was the Shared Parameter file added to with a newer version of Revit? If a Shared Parameter was added to the file as a type that did not exist prior to that release, the file will be reported as 'invalid' by previous versions.
Yes - we are on the same version. We are both on 2013... That is why the invalid statement is baffling me...
The problem appears to be with the file itself - I was unable to directly link your file, but I could Copy/Paste that exact text into a new .txt file and it worked. I even tried copy/pasting the contents my shared parameter file (which I know works) over the text in yours, and it still returned the error. I, unfortunately, do not know of a solution to this aside from attempting a reinstall. Perhaps there is an add-on that could be inadvertently causing this? Do you have any installed that your co-worker does not?
Sure enought that worked!
That is really odd though... will have to consider reinstalling.
I have a lot of the extensions from the subscription center installed and an FMystems... She does not have any.
Thanks for your help!
Did you check the .txt file encoding?
How do you do that?
Save as and look at the encoding
What should the encoding setting be?
I am having the same issue as LisaDrago...same exact error. Also tried to copy/paste into a new .txt but that did not work either.
See attached resultant .txt files.
Thanks so much for the advice.

Combating Nuclear Smuggling:
Recent Testing Raises Issues About the Potential Effectiveness of Advanced Radiation Detection Portal Monitors
GAO-10-252T: Published: Nov 17, 2009. Publicly Released: Nov 17, 2009.
Additional Materials:

Office of Public Affairs

The Department of Homeland Security's (DHS) Domestic Nuclear Detection Office (DNDO) is responsible for addressing the threat of nuclear smuggling. Radiation detection portal monitors are key elements in the nation's defenses against such threats. DHS has sponsored testing to develop new monitors, known as advanced spectroscopic portal (ASP) monitors, to replace radiation detection equipment being used at ports of entry. DNDO expects that ASPs may offer improvements over current-generation portal monitors, particularly the potential to identify as well as detect radioactive material and thereby to reduce both the risk of missed threats and the rate of innocent alarms, which DNDO considers to be key limitations of radiation detection equipment currently used by Customs and Border Protection (CBP) at U.S. ports of entry. However, ASPs cost significantly more than current generation portal monitors. Due to concerns about ASPs' cost and performance, Congress has required that the Secretary of Homeland Security certify that ASPs provide a significant increase in operational effectiveness before obligating funds for full-scale ASP procurement. In May 2009, GAO issued a report (GAO-09-655) on the status of the ongoing ASP testing round. This testimony (1) discusses the principal findings and recommendations from GAO's May report on ASP testing and (2) updates those findings based on information from DNDO and CBP officials on the results of testing conducted since the report's issuance. DHS, DNDO, and CBP's oral comments on GAO's new findings were included as appropriate.
GAO's May 2009 report on ASP testing found that DHS increased the rigor in comparison with previous tests and thereby added credibility to the test results. However, GAO's report also questioned whether the benefits of the ASPs justify its high cost. In particular, the DHS criteria for a significant increase in operational effectiveness require only a marginal improvement in the detection of certain weapons-usable nuclear materials, which DNDO considers a key limitation of current-generation portal monitors. The marginal improvement required of ASPs is particularly notable given that DNDO has not completed efforts to fine-tune current-generation equipment to provide greater sensitivity. Moreover, the test results showed that ASPs performed better than current-generation portal monitors in detection of such materials concealed by light shielding approximating the threat guidance for setting detection thresholds, but that differences in sensitivity were less notable when shielding was slightly below or above that level. Finally, DNDO had not yet updated its cost-benefit analysis to take into account the results of ASP testing and did not plan to complete computer simulations that could provide additional insight into ASP capabilities and limitations prior to certification even though test delays have allowed more time to conduct the simulations. DNDO officials believed the other tests were sufficient for ASPs to demonstrate a significant increase in operational effectiveness. GAO recommended that DHS assess ASPs against the full potential of current-generation equipment and revise the program schedule to allow time to conduct computer simulations and to uncover and resolve problems with ASPs before full-scale deployment. DHS agreed to a phased deployment that should allow time to uncover ASP problems but disagreed with the other recommendations, which GAO believes remain valid. The results of DNDO's most recent round of field testing raise continuing issues. In July 2009, DNDO resumed the field testing of ASPs that it initiated in January 2009 but suspended because of serious performance problems. However, the July tests also revealed critical performance deficiencies. For example, the ASP had a high number of false positive alarms for the detection of certain nuclear materials. According to CBP, these false alarms are very disruptive in a port environment because any alarm for this type of nuclear material causes CBP to take enhanced security precautions. To address these false alarms, DNDO plans to modify the ASP to make these monitors less sensitive to these nuclear materials and thereby diminishing the ASPs' capability. As GAO reported earlier this year, previous testing results demonstrated that the ASPs represented a marginal improvement in detecting these materials. By reducing the sensitivity to nuclear materials even further, it is uncertain exactly what improvement in detecting these materials the ASPs are providing or whether DNDO might be able to achieve a similar level of performance as the modified ASPs by improving the current-generation portal monitors that are already in place. In addition, the July 2009 testing also identified a critical equipment failure, including an alert malfunction, which DNDO is taking steps to resolve for future testing.

WOF: What's your favorite media player and why?
Despite losing popularity after AOL's acquisition, I still use a barebones version of Winamp because it's what I'm familiar with and it works well for basic music playback. I tried converting to iTunes a few years ago after purchasing an iPod, but it was simply too bulky for my needs. Meanwhile, Zoom Player handles all of my videos. Although VLC is awesome, I've found that skipping through content can be sluggish compared to Zoom, SMPlayer and others.
So, let's have it. What software do you rely on for your media playback, and why?
User Comments: 94
Got something to say? Post a comment-
I use Media Player Classic because it is a lot better than VLC.
Splayer. The best. :)
AIMP 2 for music,KM player for videos.
AH i just use the zune software for music and videos/movies. I use the windows media player because its there and when i organize music on the zune software it updates on WMP and vice versa. And VLC for strange formats like FLV 3gp the works.
Zune player loves me, so i love it back.
VLC Player, plays my 120 fps videos lol
Just like Matt I've remained loyal to the good old WinAMP, the difference though is that I no longer play as much music on my PC so when I realize I don't have it installed I don't mind resorting to WMP or iTunes or even VLC, which is my preferred player for video. I like the fact it plays everything out of the box, however I've kept hearing more and better comments about Zoom and SMPlayer so I will give those a try soon.
Media player classic for normal
Crystal player for damaged files
I hate VLC with a passion I have spent time with over 50 media players in the last couple of years, and for all normal day to day use MPC-HC always comes up as being the nicest to use.
For video for audio FB2K is #1 I've been around the audio player block dozens of times there is simply no substituted for its advanced futures and simplistic nature and customization. among that I have gotten dozens of people to lesson to lossy music on Pretty much every other music player on the market then listen to it on FB2K and the result is the same every time It's simply better.
I use XMPlay for music and KMPlayer for video in combination with codecs from the K-Lite Codec pack. Fast, fully featured, and extreme quality = Win for me.
VLC is nice, but The Windows version kind of sucks.
i am surprised no one mentioned MPC "HC", or Media Player Classic Home Cinema. it's about the #1 and only choice for any serious HTPC die hard.
Add me to the Media Player Classic group.
Windows Media Player with klite codec pack for everything...over the years i have tried itunes,winamp and jet audio....but i find WMP the best of all...i use XBMC for TV shows occasionally cuz it maintains a good video library and its easy to find which videos are UNWATCHED..
I never liked WMP. I don't know why...
I (mostly) use VLC for Video playback and foobar2000 with the wasapi plugin for audio playback under windows 7, with a Musiland Monitor 01 DAC (which unfortunately has no linux drivers).
Another player I like a lot, mostly for its media library, is Songbird, however the wasapi plugin that was developed for it, doesn't work in the latest version and I get skips (plus lower quality playback) without it.
WMP Classic. It just plays.
I use MPC-HC for videos as with the proper drivers, it plays anything under the soon right (unlike VLC with subtitles) and AIMP2 for Music.
AIMP2 = WinAmp - the bulk and promotional shit. lol
VLC, because it never has to go looking for a codec.
windows media player with shark codec works well on mine, perfect quality with hm mkv files
Wow, im surprised more people don't use MPC Star... Thats what I use. It makes VLC look like a kids toy. Gotta try it. I love it and will never use anything else.
Winamp! <3
I keep the killer trio of KMplayer, Winamp Classic, and VLC on my desktop (BS player was recently retired, but I still recommend it)
KMplayer is the heavy weight champion of media players. It has virtually the same UI as winamp, it can play any file you throw at it, is endlessly customizable, and has a bevy of features of which I keep discovering new uses for everyday. It will recognize my usb sound card/mixer, has built in screen/vid capture, and even when I try to play a poor quality file, I can usually correct it to make it viewable in KM.
I started using Winamp about ten years ago and still keep it around because I am just so familiar with the User Interface. I also love using Winamp to convert FLAC files to MP3s and rip CDs
VLC has a garbage UI and is light on features/extras, but it will play everything and will often play large MKV files smoother when running on a weaker system. VLC gets a spot on the team for being light weight and playing anything.
Every now and then a file will be formatted in such a way that one player(VLC and KM included) will not play and it is good to have options, but at least one player will always work.
Media player classic obviously ...Gom players ok aswell.
I use VLC on both Windows and Linux. I find it nice and simple, but very powerful and it offers really good codec coverage too.
For music, I use iTunes, mainly because it docks my music collection with my iPhone.
I use MPC HC for video, ffdshow when required. For music I use a PHP and Flash library/player combo I wrote for myself. Tried lots, VLC was the only other player I liked but has some quirky features/performance.
windows media player and AMP2 for music.
CCCP with MPC-HC for videos and winamp for music , i do use WMP from time to time
k-lite codec pack and mpc, very good
Winamp Mostly, But I will use VLC or Mediaplayer if its a file winamp cant play...
The main reason is the ease of its playlist system, just drag stuff in and let it go....
WMP for music and WMC for video so I can stream it to my 360. When I can find a HTPC case I like I'll be using XBMC.
SPlayer recently won me over, and for music, good old winamp lite
I'm still clinging to my MusicMatch Jukebox.
I hate Yahoo for killing it.
SPlayer for videos and foobar for music.
Love love love SPlayer's minimal UI and foobar is just deliciously customizable in every way. I have a few issues with the way playlists are handled but I don't tend to use them anyway.
MPC HC all the way
Winamp for music.
VLC. It's easy, simple and it plays everything.
Well, I rarely listen to music nowadays but back when I did I used core media player.
For video I use Media player classic and vlc. I use MPC for the really big mkv files(typically 1080p) but when it comes to anything 720p quality or lower I default to vlc. It's extremely lightweight and there's no need to post process and jazz up low quality videos.
The KM Player for Windows. VLC Media Player for Linux.
VLC, plays everything I have thrown at it, and I never had to go searching for a codec. Although to be honest, I have not tried anything else aside from WMP, which I hate with a passion.
iTunes. Best media player ever. Although i'm on Ubuntu, and can't use it ='(
the KMplayer has more controls than most - both audio and video fine tuning is a delight
VLC it never lets me down, plays anything I throw at it.
foobar2000 for music, MPC-HC for videos, Dziobas Rar player for rared movies, Cyberlink PowerDVD for DVD's.
VLC. Plain, simple, and plays everything. Doesn't need all kinds of make-up to look pretty like other players. Just plays baby!!
XBMC for video
Zune for music
KM Player for the large variety of supported formats and window media player for music and some video formats because of the hardware acceleration.
media player classic, its not that i dont like any others, its just that it was bundled with the k-lite kodec pack and it suits my needs, its small and it dosent have stupid useless crap around it that i cant get rid of like in the modern windows media player
also like divx player but i dont use it anymore
Media Player Classic Home Cinema
Nothings beats the DXVA support offered by this, I do use it together with CoreAVC on certain media files, and before the built in codecs of MPC-HC became so good I used it together with CCCP (Combined Community Codec Package) but nowdays it handles most files just fine on it's own
For the odd/corrupted file that MPC-HC wont play I use VLC
For music playback it's Winamp, tho just like Julio much less so nowdays, I also use Spotify allot for music
I've been using Media Player Home Cinema (x86/x64) for a very long time now, its simple, easy to use familiar interface, almost all the codecs/formats are covered, and it has GPU centric filter enhancements for years; and importantly it doesn't drain system resources.
There was a time when I used winamp, but not anymore. Never used VLC except for one time trial, didn't like the interface.
foobar for music, loads instantly even with thousands of mp3s , VLC for vids

There is no such thing as "people-powered politics" in a nation that spends a trillion dollars every year on a state military, police, and surveillance apparatus. There are no "movements." There is no "preventing wars of aggression."
It should be needless to say that I'm not unsympathetic to the plight of the victims of America's policies abroad, but I don't believe that I, you, or anyone can arrest the prosecution of those policies. It's important to name the crimes because the act of naming has its own power. Otherwise, what will end our aggression is this: getting our asses handed to us on a platter; getting our chips called in.
We are in all likelihood doomed to go to war in Iran. The forces impelling us to further war are most probably irrevocable. They are self-sustaining and self-fulfilling. The edifice of America--the daily functioning of our society and economy as we know it--is predicated on war. It is what we do.
And here is the good news: we are also probably doomed to lose.

Ah, well, here is the IOZ that I very much respect, even while perhaps disagreeing on some particulars, e.g., being perhaps a bit less fatalistic.
But let's not forget (and I'm NOT saying that IOZ is forgetting this; I'm trying to supplement his post, not disagree with it) that, in the course of "losing" the war with Iran, some pretty horrific things may well happen. Horrific well beyond what has gone before. A rogue state with nuclear weapons is indeed a frightening thing. Of course, in this case, that rogue state is us. - 1:24 PM
- Larry M said...
Which, of course, ISN'T to say that I'll be cheering for us to win, when and if the day comes. Just saying why I continue to pursue the probably hopeless quest of trying to stop the madness, as does our friend Arthur.
- la Rana said...
Of course we are doomed to lose - I saw Gladiator too. As the saying goes, however, we don't know the sun will rise tomorrow. You talk a big predetermined game, but the subtle hedging does not go unnoticed.
- IOZ said...
The hedging is on the matter of particulars only, bubba. I freely cop to the charge with that . . . hedge. My uncertainty extends only to the specific time and the specific field of folly.

Yep. - 2:31 PM
- AlanSmithee said...
'People powered politics' is Koswackian Krap fed to pathetic pwoggie pissants so they'll keep providing pennies to DP potentates. You know that well enough, IOZ. The way our wars of aggression generally end is when the lower ranks get so sick of the endless, pointless fighting that they start pressuring the generals to pack it in and call it an empire.
- Ashley said...
And here is the good news: we are also probably doomed to lose.
Probably? Super War Preview: The Iranian Suicide Bombers vs. The American Crusaders.
And contrary to some of the shirt rending doom criers. I start to believe that Iran having nukes would be the best thing for the world. We sure as fuck wouldn't go in there if they did and as scary as it is, M.A.D. worked just fine for the first 50 years of nuclear powers with batshit crazy leaders. - 3:09 PM

According to msn.com, the Chinese dumped a lot of stocks today, and the market crashed pretty deeply. Are our chips being called?

That would indeed be good news. Sadly, I'm inclinced to think that China has too much to lose itself to do so.
One hopes, for the world's sake, that China (with help from the rest of the world) does make that move (and by that move I mean stopping to buy our debt, and selling what they have), the sooner the better. That may be the only way to avoid the United States taking a few hundred million people with us when we go down. - 3:45 PM

damned commies.
- IOZ said...
Oh yeah, baby. Nothin' says commie like a 9 point "market correction." Blamo!
- Moloch-Agonistes said...
I say this lovingly, but you have your head up your ass. Yes, "we" are fucked. "We" will probably attack Iran. Shortly thereafter, "we" are almost certainly headed for a market correction. (Excuse me, "correction.") It is even conceivable that in our own lifetimes, "our" country will be reduced to penury, senility, and perhaps even foreign aid.
So the fuck what? Since when does that excuse younz from having political and social objectives? The latest theory in neuroscience is that consciousness developed in simple multicellular organisms as part of the capacity for motility. IOW, IOZ, imagining yourself in a different place is more or less identical, in evolutionary terms, to thinking.
This fatalism stuff isn't "being realistic." Critique without program is just degenerate. It exists symbiotically with (or parasitically on) the evils it claims to abominate. Weimar Thuringia, friends, Weimar Thuringia.
I'm not telling anybody what to do, mind you. - 6:18 PM
- IOZ said...
Critique without program?! Oh, buddy. All art is quite useless.
Everyone is entitled to wish for a savior, but that doesn't make a savior so. What shall we do, comrade? Rise up and build barricades in the streets? Bomb a federal building? Elect a Democrat? I read Arthur Silber every day and consider him something near a genius. He proposed a program, but he knows, and you know, and I know, that it will not happen, anymore than I will fly unaided or you will transubstantiate lead into gold with the power of incantation.
There is no positive program to rectify what is happening in the world. What's happening has always happened. We are a top dog living out the early downhill side of our top dog days. Britain didn't voluntarily dismantle its empire. Nazi Germany didn't voluntarily retreat. Rome didn't fall because of anti-imperial activism.
Imperial America is not Jim Crow. It isn't a social policy to be changed. It isn't an election to be won. It isn't something to be "changed" by a "program," any more than any other empire before it.
If you believe the problem to be essentially political in the common sense of the word, then you don't understand the problem. - 6:52 PM
- Ashley said...
Critique without program is just degenerate.
The art critic has no responsibility to fix the sculpture he damns. The teacher has no responsibility to take home the students who fail. Thomas Paine was under no obligation to take on George Washington's job in Valley Forge. Lucky for us.
Dissemination of well critiqued information and history is a service. It is participation.
The problem, perhaps just the "rub," with IOZ's editorial view is that it points to the very thing he is obviously against: violence. The US government (courts count too) might be too ingrown with corruption to save or roll back; have to go back two hundred years to undo some of the damage. There is no solution from within government. This leaves only mass peaceful movements (they can't arrest 50 million people) or revolution; which against the US military would only be possible as a mirror of what's happening in the mid-east: guerilla insurgency.
So, if IOZ wants to do what he's doing, peacefully informing, naming things by their right names, more power to him. If he's also living by his principals then he's a fucking hero; or maybe just a peer. What a world that could be. - 7:00 PM
- Moloch-Agonistes said...
At the risk (certainty!) of repeating myself: "imagining yourself in a different place is more or less identical, in evolutionary terms, to thinking."
Whether change is "possible" or not is completely irrelevant. Who wants a savior? I just want people to think about how to live well. I'm convinced that social criticism without an alternative vision is undisciplined and empty.
You think art doesn't demand a social vision? Man, we must be going to different museums. - 7:21 PM
- Brian said...
But I think ioz is very clear on where his sympathies lie. ioz and, shall we say, the circle of us his friends. The Mutualist blog is full of articles and links on how to live. Not that I (or Ioz), a "public" employees agrees with everything at this site or in this school of thought, but it most certainly does answer your question.
Not to speak for Ioz, but the role of the cirtic is a legimate one. There are other sources to better answer your question. - 8:28 PM
- frijoles junior said...
OK, Moloch, I'll bite. How do you think one should live well? IOZ has his wine and theater and I've got my bong and games, and not to be flippant about it, but my life is pretty good. Am I part of the problem? Sure, and I bet so are you and IOZ and everyone else in the radical end of the blogosphere. Being conscious of the problems inherent in our prosperous lifestyle, I do try to make an effort to be less of a problem than the next guy. But the forces of our history are strong like a tiger, and though it may be a brave and noble thing to wrestle that tiger, the outcome is certain victory for the tiger. Yet I value social criticism because I find it helpful when negotiating the jungle to have an IOZ out there telling me "be careful, there's a tiger over there". If IOZ does not offer me tiger-wrestling lessons while he is at it, so what?
Having spent the last 11 years married to an art historian, I can tell you that some art advances a social vision, but a lot of it is about what makes us happy. There's only so much you can read into naked ballerinas, after all. So maybe my Weimar counterpart was drinking absinthe in a cabaret while Krupp decided that Hitler was the right man to advance the interests of German Industry. Again, so what? It's not like active opposition worked out so well for the socialists.
It takes all kinds to make a world, so hella mad props to you if you're out there fighting the good fight. But don't make out like there's something wrong with carving out a comfortable place to live from the rotten heartwood of the American tree. Rotten politics are an inevitable part of the human condition. Just ask Lord Acton (power corrupts, etc.) - 10:24 PM
- Moloch-Agonistes said...
Sigh. The question, mis habas dulces, is not how one can live well. The question is how people can live together. Could I be any clearer? And I couldn't give two shits whether you sign onto my particular program, like that'd be some fucking coup. My objection is to this self-indulgent and sterile cynicism.
And then said the Lorax -- his dander was up -- let me say a few words about gluppity glup. If you think America's rotten wood will accomodate you and your bong for much longer you're in for a rude awakening. This tree shows every evidence of being about to go under the bulldozer, and when that time comes I suspect you're going to wish you had something a little more substantive than a fondness for cannibis to keep you getting out of bed in the morning.
Naked fucking ballerinas? Jesus. "Without poets, without artists, men would tire of nature's monotony. The sublime idea men have of the universe would collapse with dizzying speed. The order which we find in nature, and which is only an effect of art, would at once vanish. Everythong would break up in chaos. There would be no seasons, no civilization, no thought, no humanity; even life would give way, and the impotent void would reign everywhere." Now that, my friend, is program.
So you and your bong, curled up in your (quintessentially American) metaphysical-individualist womb, have tired of nature's monotony. Boo fucking hoo. I hear you talk and I think to myself, 'reductio ad absurdum.' You and Dinesh, man. Symptoms to the end. - 10:56 AM
- IOZ said...
I must tell you, Moloch, that that was remarkably silly.
If a "program," as we're calling it, is just a half-ironical ars poetica with the irony conveniently ignored, then by god, man, I will produce for you such a program . . .
You use the word with uncharacteristic uncertainty, in any event. If a "program" is an expression of one's ideals for a society, then such has been, on this blog, voluminously expressed. If, on the other hand, you want a point-by-point plan of action for acquiring that society within a generation or two, boy howdy, I've got nothing to give but giggles. - 11:16 AM
- Moloch-Agonistes said...
Christ and all the angels in heaven. I was being ironical. What do you peepul want, emoticons?
Beyond my apparently misfiring sense of humor, the argument is not that Appollinaire had program, the argument is that program gives structure to the universe. I don't know what in creation gave you the idea that this implies a "point by point plan for acquiring that society within a generation or two"? All I demand is that the critic discipline him or herself by taking practical political steps toward a social ideal, at whatever scale seems most effective. Despite your protestations, I don't hear any echo of that from you. Right now I hear only disappointment, verging on emptiness.
Criticism, program, and maintenence. Otherwise it's just vanity. - 11:40 AM
- Moloch-Agonistes said...
Apollinaire. Typing is too cruel.
- maximo said...
fj, you've got my attention. naked ballerinas? yes. the world could do with more of those. well, i could. i mean, i do need someone to wash my car.
- IOZ said...
The idea that a "social ideal" is necessary to great art strikes me as entirely wrong--an impoverished idea about art, to say the least.
As for the "practical steps"--like I said, I've written to some extent about my ideal society here; those opinions aren't lacking. I've noted that I believe there to be room on the local level for meaningful actions, and when I say things like "support your local farmer," I am being lighthearted, but I am not joking. To carve out a good life in a community, and to work to improve a community through personal investment, by supporting its businesses, and so forth--these are noble, practicable goals.
But you're being disingenuous and changing the criteria of your critique. You see me critiquing the excesses--the existence--of imperial America, and you say, "What's your program?" That is asking for a plan to counteract the extension of America as an empire, and to that requirement I call bullshit. - 12:10 PM
- Moloch-Agonistes said...
Ahem. I am not changing the criteria of my critique. If perhaps Democrats are annoying you, this is no fault of mine. I've been repeatedly clear, in this very thread and elsewhere, that my demand is not for a "plan to counteract America as an empire" -- let alone one that is likely to work. The point is that (to repeat myself for the third time) "imagining yourself in a different place is more or less identical, in evolutionary terms, to thinking." I see lots of outrage, justifiable of course, but little political creativity; and among other things, it undermines the critique. It is cynical, not fertile.
Someone who decides that the gig is up needs to start working on a new direction. Otherwise they're sucking at the same teat. If that's farmers for you, fine, but contrary to your claims here, it's not being developed very well at all.
(As for art and social vision, definitional problems and a shortage of cannibis here at the office prevent me from engaging in the 964,857,549th iteration of this argument since the dawn of human history. I could go both ways, but it wasn't very central to my point.) - 3:14 PM
- Moloch-Agonistes said...
On the other hand, it's more central to my point if you're going to claim this blog as performance art. Noted.
- IOZ said...
"Working in a new direction," as much as "program," is a hollow political phrase, an orators setpiece, signifying nothing. You're not asking for a plan, you're asking for a "direction"? I find that even more unconvincing.
There is no such thing as "political creativity" as you mean it here. Politics is power; power is coercion. I am interested in nailing it to a wall, so that men can stop nailing each other. - 4:25 PM
- IOZ said...
Oh, what a fantastically inappropriate double-entendre. And a missed apostrophe. I must be slipping.
- Moloch-Agonistes said...
Um, thanks Michel. The practical implications of what I'm suggesting are fairly obvious, and your reference to "supporting local farmers" makes clear that you know exactly what I'm talking about, but don't take it seriously. You want performance art, not movement building. Power is coercion, after all. I suppose the existence of a Federal hegemon makes it all such wasted effort anyway.
Well, Karen Finley, smear away. I'm bored. - 4:53 PM
- Brian said...
What is YOUR solution, M. A.? Your program? I'm not being snarky, I'm just curious.....
- IOZ said...
You're right about one thing, moloch. I do not want movement building. I want no part of it. What begins as a movement ends not as a program, but a pogrom. You can quote me.
- frijoles junior said...
Yep. Degas, naked ballerinas. Gaugin, Topless Tahitian teens. They get attention, all right.
Chin up. I thought it was funny. And sure, I expect the bulldozer any month now. In my individualist way, I am taking concrete steps. If by society you mean all those people outside of my monkeysphere, then no, those steps aren't especially political or social, unless green consumerism is political or socially enlightened. Not so much vanity as selfishness. That's the rap that's usually laid on those of us suspicious of movement-building and enamored or cynical yet trenchant analysis and criticism.
now that's the funniest thing I've read all day. I'm with you that I'd rather nail power to the wall than seize the mantle for my own ends. He who would fight with monsters might take care ... - 7:40 PM
- frijoles junior said...
enamored of the analysis and criticism that is. Cruel indeed.
- Anonymous said...
Fuck me for a moron. Your earlier veneration of Rawls threw me off: this really is the last cult of Foucault. "Power is coercion shall be the whole of the law--the rest is just performance art."
What can I say? The "power is evil" ideology is as strange to me as Catharism. We will, so far as I know, remain primates for the foreseeable future. Furthermore, I don't like it. IOZ's (new?) Golden Rule flattens all moral judgment. Criticism of any specific public phenomenon--Obama, Bush, Kos, Marty, American imperium, some obscure Latvian politician who may one day appear on the scene--in the end it's all just ambience, accident, afterthought, an "orator's setpiece."
On that note, I was rather displeased by the disingenuous carping at "program." It's not that you couldn't understand the referent.* While perhaps more complicated than making fun of Marty Peretz, the effort to conceive and develop alternative political institutions in umbra imperii is hardly impossible or hard to get your head around. Apparently, however, you find it annoying. Political creativity is not just "coercive," it doesn't exist! I mean, come on. Diplomacy is one thing -- Hamas and Israel come to mind -- and political debate is another. You ought not mistake oughts for ises. This kind of sophistry is pretty tiresome.
Beans: Hang ten, dude.
Brian: Solution to what? I help underserved communities develop health care interventions. Since you have to confront all sorts of related distributive issues -- transportation, nutrition, etc. -- it's been a pretty good way of thinking about social and moral stuff and a (relatively) effective transnational coalition building exercise. But I'm not particular. People should do what seems best to them. Except this libertarian shit.

That's fine and admirible, M.A. I admire your profession. I think it's easy to get too cynical-it's just the political system seems to calcified, the national economy too endebted, the national concentrated corporate culture too overwhelming. A program to solve thes eproblems on a large scale seems impossible. You yourself appear to be acting at the local level that seems the only possible locus of oerpation left???? The War Pigs won't listen to million men marches anymore-there is too much money to be made and they are developing "nonlethal" methods of crowd control that can keep the lid on without getting too messy.
As for libertariansim, M.A.-I'm only "sympathetic" to libertarianism. It appeals to me emotionally. I remain skeptical-perhaps because my profession (City Planning) is involved in the evil "r" word and no I don't think my neighbor on a 4,000 square foot dense urban lot has the "right" to oeprate an industrial auto painting operation in the middle of my neighborhood-and "regulations" are a quicker way of preventing it than the courts (plus, don't the courts require coercion to enforce their edicts? I've never understood that? What if the losing party is a sociopath who just ignores the courts. I'd rather have a police force to deal with that than a mob of neighbors???)).
It's late-I'm babbling. - 12:27 AM
