François Luambo Luanzo Makiadi (6 July 1938 – 12 October 1989) was a major figure in twentieth century Congolese music, and African music in general. He is widely referred to as Franco Luambo or, simply, Franco. Known for his mastery of rumba, he was nicknamed the "Sorcerer of the Guitar" for his seemingly effortlessly fluid playing. As a founder of the seminal group OK Jazz, he is counted as one of the originators of the modern Congolese sound.
Formative years[edit]
He was born in 1938. His mother had a market stall in Ngiri-Ngiri, and he played harmonica and other instruments to help attract customers.[1]
In 1955 Franco formed a band that debuted in the OK Bar. The following year the band was renamed OK Jazz in honour of the place it had begun.[2]
In 1958, Franco was jailed for a motoring offense, but by then had already become a star in Léopoldville and crowds of fans enthusiastically greeted the release of their rebel anti-hero. This was a time of growing national confidence and Congo was moving towards the independence that would come in 1960. Despite violence and instability accompanying the transition to independence, Leopoldville grew with migrants from the countryside and its nightlife continued to thrive.In 1960 Longomba left OK Jazz, leaving Franco as undisputed leader, of an enlarged band.[3]
The 1980s[edit]
In 1980, Franco was named a Grand Master of Zairean music by the government, an honor that linked him with the ruling elite that was responsible for much of the economic problems beggaring the country. The subject of his songs shifted dramatically in this period to patriotic songs and praise songs to wealthy fans.
Franco only toured the USA on one occasion, in 1983.[4]
In 1985, Franco released his biggest hit ever, Mario, an account of a gigolo who lives off of his older lovers.
In 1987 rumors began to circulate that Franco was very ill. The only solo composition he released that year was "Attention Na SIDA" ("Beware of AIDS"), a warning to avoid catching the disease, leading to unconfirmed speculation that he had contracted HIV. He began to withdraw his energies from OK Jazz, causing the band to begin to disintegrate under internal tensions, and reconverted from Islam to Roman Catholicism. On 12 October 1989 Franco died while in a Belgian clinic. His body was flown back to Zaire where his coffin was transported on a flag-draped hearse with police escort through streets packed with thousands of grieving fans. The government declared four days of national mourning during which state radio played nothing but Franco's songs. On 17 October he was buried.

New to FF.
I make 12x12 300 dpi papers for print. I cannot import 12x12 unless I upgrade. ($100) Seamless? I have a small seamless pattern for most papers but once I texture the pattern I can't use as seamless anymore. Applying most filters leave the outline even using seamless, unless I am missing something? Resolution? Will I keep print quality if save filters at 3000x3000 and use in Photoshop? Can I save smaller? How much quality does a grunge need? PS Plugin? I haven't figured out how to work inside Photoshop yet- working inside PS may sole the problem above. Can you point me to a working with FF Photoshop plugin tut? Thanks, Robin |

Converting inches to pixels 12x12 inches at 300dpi = 3600 x 3600 pixels. Filter Forge non professional versions ONLY allow until 3000 x 3000, so you can´t use any higher resolution than this unless you upgrade. BUT I think that there could a possible solution that you could try. 3000 x 3000 at 250 dpi = 12 x 12 Inches So you could try to print at 250 dpi and see if you see any quality difference and this way you would not have to upgrade. I have used this "Inches to Pixels" (or viceversa) calculator http://www.classical-webdesigns.co.uk...nvert.html
Have you checked the seamless checkbox in the Filter Forge (FF) settings ? See here below in this link for more information --> http://filterforge.com/more/help/Filt...iling.html What do you mean that "most filters leave the "outline" even using seamless ? Could you upload an image example ?
As I have said above you could save at 3000x3000 with 250dpi and still get 12 x 12 inches, but the quality depends very much on the image and the definition you want and need and also on the surface you want to print it. On high gloss photo paper and high quality magazines is supossed that the best is 300 dpi. I think that the best for this would be to test it yourself, save the result at 3000 x 3000 at 250 dpi and print it and see what happens and if there is a clear difference from a 300 dpi print.
Well, for activating FF inside Photoshop you need to have the layer or image you want selected and then go to the Filters menu and search for the Filter Forge link and after clicking on it FF will open. If the filter gives a result with transparency the layer CAN´T be the fixed background and must be a layer (double click on the fixed background to convert it to a layer) Sorry that it seems that in the help guide there is not a article about how to use FF plugin inside Photoshop. |
Posted: April 22, 2012 11:41 pm | ||||||||||
Another thing, if you are using a seamless tile, you can make the tile itself any size you want and just set it as a fill in photoshop.
That way, no matter what size and resolution you have set for your paper, the tile will just repeat less\more. If you can't find Filter Forge in photoshop's filter menu, you need to copy the FF plugin files from the FF main istall folder to the photoshop plugins folder. |

B. Kelly has been very relaxed in his approach to the game of late. This has rubbed off on his team and allowed them to play without his yelling and screaming. He states that he has allowed his defense to carry the team. However, he has mellowed a bit and his team has responded accordingly.
B. Kelly has done great things for ND. It is because of his low key approach instead of screaming and yelling and humiliating his gbs. It is stated that he lets his defense carry the day.

Conversations Between Michael Albert and Noam Chomsky Pt. 1
[This essay is part of the ZNet Classics series. Three times a week we will re-post an article that we think is of timeless importance. This one was first published January, 1993.]
In January 1993 Michael Albert and Noam Chomsky recorded a series of conversations which were later distributed by Z Magazine. Here we present a transcription of some material from the 1993 tapes, essentially verbatim, in three parts. Some of the topical material is now historical, of course, but the rest is as timely as when first discussed. It is divided into three parts: Part I -- Part II -- Part III |
You once wrote an essay called "Responsibility and Intellectuals". Perhaps we could start by talking a little bit about that. First of all, what makes a person an intellectual in the first place. What is an intellectual?
It's not a term I take all that seriously. Some of the most intellectual people I've met and known in my life were very remote from the so-called intellectual professions. Plenty of people who are called intellectual workers, who work with their minds, not their, say, hands, are involved in what amounts to clerical work. An awful lot of academic scholarship, for example, is basically a kind of clerical work.
Suppose we use the word positively.
With a positive connotation I would want to talk about whoever it is who's thinking about things, trying to understand things, trying to work things out, maybe trying to articulate and express that understanding to others and so on. That's intellectual life.
So "things" could be society, it could be quarks ...
It could be music.
It could be sports. So basically, arguably, just about everyone.
Except that an awful lot of the activity of most of us is routine, not considered, not directed to problems that really do concern us and not based on efforts, maybe even opportunities to gain deeper understanding.
So intellectuals have a whole lot of time to do this part of life that we all do some of the time.
There are people who are privileged enough to be able to spend an awful lot of their time and effort on these things if they so choose. They rarely do. They often do turn to routine kind of hack work, which is the easy way.
So supposing a society like ours does give some people the opportunity to spend more time doing intellectual work, then I guess that's the context in which we raise the question, What's the responsibility of a person like that, a person who is free to have that time?
We can distinguish what we you might call their "task" from their moral responsibility. Their task, that is, the reason why social institutions provide them with this time and effort, their task is, say, so that they can support power, authority, they can carry out doctrinal management. They can try to ensure that others perceive the world in a way which is supportive of existing authority and privilege. That's their task. If they stop performing their task, they're likely to be deprived of the opportunities to dedicate themselves to intellectual work. On the other hand, their moral responsibility is quite different, in fact, almost the opposite. Their moral responsibility is to try to understand the truth, to try to work with others to come to an understanding of what the world is like, to try to convey that to other people, help them understand, and lay the basis for constructive action. That's their responsibility. But of course there is a conflict. If you pursue the responsibility, you're likely to be denied the privileges of exercising the intellectual effort.
It's pretty evident, not hard to understand. If you're a young person, say, in college or in journalism or for that matter a fourth grader, and you have too much of an independent mind, meaning you're beginning to fulfill your responsibility, there is a whole variety of devices that will try to deflect you from that error and, if you can't be controlled, to marginalize and eliminate you some way. In fourth grade you may be a behavior problem. In college you may be irresponsible and erratic and not the right kind of student. If you make it to the faculty you'll fail in what's sometimes called "collegiality," getting along with your colleagues. If you're a young journalist and you're pursuing stories that the managerial level above you understands, either intuitively or explicitly, are not to be pursued, you can be sent off to the police desk and advised that you are not thinking through properly and how you don't have proper standards of objectivity and so on. There's a range of devices. We live in a free society, so you're not sent to the gas chambers. They don't send the death squads after you, as is commonly done in many countries ... you don't have to go very far away to see that, say in
But certainly intellectuals aren't only journalists, economists, political scientists and the like. That's one set in the social sciences. But then there's also hard scientists. There's biologists and physicists and the like. There it would seem that there's less of a social control problem, and so maybe you get a different kind of behavior. Are the intellectuals in the linguistics department comparable to the intellectuals in the economics department?
First of all, there is a social control problem. It's just that we've transcended it. Galileo faced it, for example. You go back a couple of centuries in the West and the social control problem was very severe. Descartes is alleged to have destroyed the final volume of his treatise on the world, the one that was supposed to deal with the human mind, because he learned of the fate of Galileo. That's something like the death squads. The Inquisition was doing precisely that. Okay, that's past, in the West, at least. Not everywhere.
Why is it past? In other words, what is it about a society in the West that enables at least that kind of pursuit of knowledge to be free to go wherever it goes, but not in, say, Moslem society?
There are a number of reasons. One of them is just increase in freedom and enlightenment. We've become a much freer society than we were in absolutist times. Popular struggles over centuries have enlarged the domain of freedom. Intellectuals have often played a role in this, during the Enlightenment, for example, in breaking barriers and creating a space for greater freedom of thought. That often took a lot of courage and quite a struggle. And it goes on until today. But there are other factors, too. It's utilitarian. It turns out that with modern science, especially in the last century or two, the ability to gain deeper understanding of the world has interacted critically with modern economic development, modern power. In fact, the course of science and the course of military endeavors is very close, way back to Archimedes. Archimedes was after all designing devices for military purposes. And military technology and science, their history closely interweaves in the modern period, particularly since the mid-nineteenth century. The sciences have actually begun to contribute materially to industrial development. So there are utilitarian purposes, but I wouldn't overexaggerate them. It's like the kind of result that led to freedom in other domains, like slavery, let's say. Or after a hundred and fifty years of American history women were allowed to vote. Things like that. These are significant.
Back to the point, especially after the great scientific revelations of the seventeenth century, it got to the point where you simply couldn't do science if you were subjected to the doctrinal controls that are quite effective outside the hard sciences. You can't do it. You try to be a physicist after
In fact, there is a funny problem in the natural sciences. That is that there is an internal conflict. The goal, and in fact what you're being paid for, to put is crassly, why you're being given the opportunities, is to find out the truth about the world. And you can't do that under doctrinal constraints. So there's a tension. On the one hand it just has to be free, and it just has to encourage independent thought. On the other hand, people with power and authority want it to be constrained. That contradiction is much more striking in the natural sciences than it is in the social sciences or humanities. You can tell falsehoods forever there.
But that implies that in the social sciences and economics and so on, to be crass, what they're being paid for is not to find the truth but something else.
They are performing their role as long as they provide ideological services. To make it simple, take, say, modern economic theory, with its sort of free-market ideology. Planners in business and government are not going to waste their time following those rules. So the
How does it happen? Here we have students who finish undergraduate work and decide they want to be an economist. So they go to, let's say, Harvard or MIT or some other school in economics. Presumably when they come in they have some notion of doing something that's relevant to society, to making life a little better, something like that, at least a reasonable number of them. When they come out, they're either going to teach at some small community college or they've learned the correct lesson. But no one gets up in front of the class and says, We will henceforth serve the interests of capital.
It happens in a lot of ways. Let me tell you a story I once heard from a black civil rights activist who came up to Harvard Law School and was there for a while. This must have been twenty years ago. He once gave a talk and said that kids were coming in to
Sometimes it takes two years.
Sometimes it takes two years; that's overdrawing the point. But those factors are very influential. I've fought it all my life. It's extremely easy to be sucked into the dominant culture. It's very appealing. And the people don't look like bad people. You don't want to sit there and insult them. You try to be friends, and you are. You begin to conform, to adapt, to smooth off the harsher edges. Education at a place like Harvard is in fact largely geared to that, to a remarkable extent. I was a graduate student there. There was an organization called the Society of Fellows, which is a research outfit that selects a couple of people from all fields over the year. It was a remarkable opportunity to work. You had all the facilities of Harvard available and basically no responsibilities. Your only responsibilities were to show up for a dinner every Monday night which was sort of modelled on the Oxford-Cambridge high table. You spent the evening at the dinner with a couple of senior faculty members and other distinguished people. The purpose of that was basically socialization. You had to learn how to drink port and how to have polite conversations without talking about serious topics, but of course indicating that you could talk about serious topics if you were so vulgar as to actually do it. There's a whole set of mannerisms. In those days you had to learn how to wear British clothes. That was the appropriate affectation.
And it's very rare for a person to do all that and not begin to rationalize and think, This is really pretty good. Aren't I something for all this? And to begin to be impressed.
It kind of seeps in. They've had, for example, back in the early forties ... in the 1930s of course there was pretty big labor strife and labor struggle and it scared the daylights out of the business community because labor was actually winning the right to organize and even legislative victories. There were a lot of efforts to overcome this. Harvard played its role. It introduced a trade union program which brought in rising young people in the labor movement, the guy who looks like he's likely to be the local president next year. They're brought to Harvard, they sit in the business school and the dorms. They go through a socialization process. They're brought to share some of the values and an understanding of the elite. They're taught, our job is to work together. We all are together. There are two lines. One line, for the public, is, we're all together. We're all cooperating, joint enterprise, harmony and so on. Of course, meanwhile, business is fighting a vicious class struggle on the side, but that's in a different corner of the universe. That effort to socialize and integrate union activists, I've never measured its success, but I'm sure it was successful. It's pretty much the way what I experienced and saw what a Harvard education. There's much less of that at MIT, naturally, for exactly the reason you said: They're not training the people who are going to rule.
It reminds me of 180 degrees opposite, when people started to become politicized in the early and mid-sixties there was an intellectual component that was trying to understand society. There was a whole set of lifestyle acts, ranging from long hair to having a mattress on the floor to various other kinds of behavioral traits. Most parents were sophisticated enough to get much more upset about the lifestyle acts than about the ideas that were being phrased. Because they had a tremendous tenacity. Once you had a community that had these lifestyle ways of behaving and ways of getting along and ways of identifying one another and being part of the same thing, you could escape the more mainstream behaviorisms far more easily. You could look at the accepted roles as being silly or false or whatever, and it was no longer so attractive. That has been absent since about 1970. I don't think the left has had anything much to compete with, the sort of general life definitions of the mainstream and the right. So o the left you don't have a strong lifestyle and an identity to make it easy to ignore the seductions. What you have is ideals but no counteridentity.
That's partly because the alternative lifestyle simply was commercialized and absorbed into the mainstream culture, selling clothes and that sort of thing.
That was part of it. It was also partly because the alternative lifestyle was never the wonderful lifestyle it was cut out to be. Instead of defining something positively, it was defined as the opposite of what is. The opposite of something that's horrible isn't always so wonderful. So there were many components of the way we lived and acted in the late sixties that were not very well conceived as ways to live and act over a long period of time. They worked for a time, but over the longer haul they often just weren't very fulfilling.
What you're saying is no doubt true. The thing has been commercialized and cheapened. Still, life's a lot easier than it was forty years ago. If I think back to those days, if I look at pictures from the early 1960s, I can hardly believe it, how disciplined everything was, how deep the authority structures were just in personal relations, the way you looked and talked when you went out with your friends. There's been very significant ... I think very good changes as a result of what took place in the 1960s that in turn spread around the whole society. Maybe the spread of some of the gains meant that young dissidents couldn't identify themselves so easily, but it's in part because the society got better.
But it's distracting and sort of disturbing. I mean, it's true, and when I talk to students I try to convey the difference between a time when everybody thought that every lawyer was honest and forthright and deserved obedience and so on and that doctors were out for nothing except to help humanity, that business people cared about consumers, and so on, to a time, now, when people know much more than that, to a time, now, when people are sort of passive and laid back. But then it's distracting that with those changes you don't have a parallel change in an organized and aware, self-conscious and critically aware left. On the one hand we do have a lot of left activists. But we don't have something that is a national left.
I agree with you, of course. But it seems to me what's happened, as I try to understand what's happened since the sixties, is that there has been among the general population, excluding those who are considered responsible intellectuals, meaning the ones filling their tasks, excluding power structures and the intellectuals who serve their interests, for the general population, there has been something of almost a revolutionary change in moral values and cultural level and so on, and a great improvement. It has taken no institutional form at all. On the one hand, the ideological institutions are firmly in the hands of the extremely narrow liberal-to-reactionary spectrum, and very tightly controlled. There's no identifiable point of view or ways of thinking or by and large even journals outside them, very little. On the other hand, the general population has become extremely dissident and has absorbed many of the values that people were struggling for in the sixties, and you can see it in just about every area.
But the thing that seems to be missing is that then people thought that you could win a change.
I think they did win a change.
Yes, but it was in considerable part because they also believed they could, understood they could. But now people tend not to believe they can, and so have little incentive to try.
I don't think they've recognized what changes are already achieved. If you take almost any area you think of, whether it's race or sex or military intervention, the environment--these are all areas of awareness and concern that didn't exist in the early sixties. You didn't even think about them. You just submitted, without even knowing that you were submitting. You just accepted. And people don't any more. Take the original sin of American history: what happened to the native population. It's a remarkable fact that until the 1960s the culture simply couldn't come to terms with it. Not at all. When I grew up, I would go out with my friends and we'd play cowboys and Indians and shoot the Indians. Scholarship was the same. Until the 1960s, with very rare exceptions, academic scholarship was grossly falsifying the history, suppressing the reality of what happened. Even the number of people was radically falsified. As late as 1969, in one of the leading diplomatic histories of the
But somehow it's as if, in a phrase I once heard, we snatched defeat from the jaws of victory. People have this perception of accomplishing nothing or very, very little, and begin to get burned out and to retain some of the values and commitments but begin to feel that you can no longer really struggle for change bcause we're not succeeding. This is a common sentiment. It's certainly a common sentiment among people I know, not always voiced, I think, but there. And yet if you look objectively at the thing, like you're trying to do now, you see that if you don't have an outrageously inflated view of how fast change takes place, then you can understand that change has been dramatic. It isn't so obvious what the mechanism is that causes people to be so oblivious to their own effects.
Partly it's that there's nothing in the official culture that's ever going to tell you you succeeded. It's always going to tell you you failed. The official view of the sixties is it's a bunch of crazies running around burning down universities and making noise because they were hysterics or were afraid to go to
But there's an element of truth in that, though perverse. Of course, short of a revolution any change that occurs is going to occur how? Immediately, because an elite makes a decision to enact a change. They're going to make the decision because of the pressures of social movements. But they are in a position to deny the influence of the movements and claim credit for themselves down the road a ways.
But really, they bowed to pressures.
That's right. When you read the histories, they don't talk about the pressures from social movements. Instead elites simply talk about their profound wisdom in taking this next step.
We ended slavery because we were such great figures that we decided that we didn't like slavery.
And the real cause of it is gone.
Let's say the slave revolts.
That's gone.
And sure, we saw that on a not trivial scale in the last thirty years. So this combination of a kind of a, in my opinion, really close to revolutionary change in moral values and cultural level has gone on without any lasting institutional change.
And the lack of institutional support for the changes in ideas and values allows the official culture to drive home its message, which is, you guys are worthless and can't do anything, why don't you just shut up and go home? And steadily they undermine the progress.
I want to go into some of that when we talk about movements and what should happen. But let's just go back to this broad question of intellectuals. What about left intellectuals? If an intellectual is somebody who spends time trying to understand, and a social intellectual tries to understand society, what's a left intellectual? Are there any?
I've never been very happy about words like "left" and "right," but let's use it in the conventional sense. One of the very few predictions in the social sciences that I know of that ever came true was one of Bakunin's over a century ago in which he talked about what the intellectuals were going to be like in modern industrial society. He predicted that they would fall into two categories. There would be the left intellectual. They would be the ones who would try to rise to power on the backs of mass popular movements, and if they could gain power they would then beat the people into submission.
Yes, what he was predicting was Leninism. And if the inelletuals find that they can't do that, or that it is too dangerous or costly, they'll be the servants of what we would nowadays call state capitalism. He didn't use the term. Either of the two intellectuals, he said, will be "beating the people with the people's stick." That is, they will still be presenting themselves as representatives of the people, so they'll hold the people's stick, but they'll be beating the people with it. He didn't go on with this, but I think that his analysis has turned out to be true. And it follows from his analysis that it would likely be extremely easy to shift from one position to the other. It's extremely easy, that is, to undergo what nowadays is called the "God-that-failed" syndrome. You start off as basically a Leninist, someone who is going to be part of the Red bureaucracy. You see later that power doesn't lie that way, and you very quickly become an ideologist of the right and you devote your life to exposing the sins of your former comrades who haven't seen the light and haven't shifted to where power really is. In fact, we're seeing it right now in the
It doesn't take a long indoctrination period to learn the new style.
And this has been going on for forty years. It's become a kind of a joke. Where does that leave what you might call "honest intellectuals"? They're usually outside the system, for good reasons. There is no reason to expect institutions of power and domination to tolerate people trying to undermine them. Quite the opposite. So therefore you quite typically find the honest and serious intellectuals, people who are commited to, I think, enlightenment values, values of truth, freedom, liberty, and justice, there would be major efforts made to marginalize them.
Who are they?
All the people who have done anything that's ...
Who, which people, groups?
Take, say, the SNCC activists. They were serious intellectuals. They made a big change in the world. The people of your generation, who did the work that led to the changes we spoke of earlier... work that didn't just mean running around the streets waving signs. It also meant thinking about things and figuring out what the problems were. Those people made a change. A certain number of them did filter their way into the institutions. For example, if you take universities or newspapers or television today, you usually find people in there, almost always, who have been through those experiences and have remained true to them. They've got to adapt their behavior in various ways to get by. But many of them do it very self-consciously, very honestly and even very constructively. So there's a kind of an honest intelligentsia if you like, meaning not serving power, either as Red bureaucracy or as state capitalist, commissar equivalents. Such people exist, sometimes in the institutions, but most of the time out of them, for almost trivial reasons. The institutions are simply not going to welcome serious critics. They're constructed in such a way as to make it difficult or impossible for people who are going to undermine those institutions to survive. How could it be otherwise? It's just like you're not going to find a militant labor activist as chairman of the board of General Electric. How could it be?
It seems straightforward to me as well. But we come to the question, are there some left intellectuals who rise to a position of relative prominence, so they're visible. SNCC activists are anonymous, in a sense, socially anonymous.
They're marginalized, but they're important. Some of them are still around, doing important things.
But in a sense it's an activist group who is not highlighted and made publicly visible. And some leaders might be.
Like Rosa Luxemburg, say, who got killed.
Right. So there's a figure in history who we could say, She's one of the people who I would pick...
She was murdered. That's the point.
Typical. This raises the question, Can we only find dead ...?
No. First of all, if you look back through history ...
Let's look now.
Now? You find people all over. It's claimed now that there's less of a left intelligentsia than there was thirty years ago. I don't believe a word of it. Take a look at the people who they're calling the left, the big thinkers of the 1950s. Who were they? They were intelligent people. Ed Wilson is an intelligent person, but a left intellectual? Mary McCarthy? A smart person who wrote some nice novels. But not a left intellectual. In fact, what you have now is much more serious activists in many more places. I travel all the time and give talks all over the place. I've been amazed to go to places throughout the 1980s ... take, say, the
I can't even tell you their names. There are too many of them. Also, I'm not even sure that the word "left" is the right word for them. A lot of them were probably Christian conservatives, but they were very radical people in my view. Intellectuals who understood and who did a lot. They created a popular movement which not only protested
So if a person comes along and says the left intellectual community is gutted, there's very little of it, what they must in fact be saying is something like--the number of people who call themselves leftist and who are visibly notable is small. Which, of course, in your analysis may well be an indication that there's a growing left intellectual community which is, of course, being isolated and not labeled anything publicly and not given any public visibility.
That's right. What will be labeled "left" and given publicity is something ugly enough that people can be rallied to oppose it. So Stalinism, for example. Books will come out, and are coming out, about the left intellectuals in
It's useful.
But if by left you mean people who are struggling for peace and justice and freedom and human rights and so on, and for social change and elimination of authority structures, whether it's personal life or institutions or whatever, if that's what the left is, there are more of them around than I remember in my lifetime.
In coming to this kind of perception of the thing, you have a real advantage, you personally, relatively speaking. You personally, as compared to one of those individuals, do have a lot of the visibility and a lot of the access that somebody might attribute as the critical ingredient needed to impact on a wide audience in our society. These other people feel isolated. They feel relatively uninfluential or unable to express their opinions to a wider audience.
Visibility, that's putting the cart before the horse. The reason I have visibility is because there are a lot of people around, a lot of groups around, who come and ask me to speak, or because people ask me to write. I don't have visibility in the mainstream institutions.
But there has to be a distinction between you and those people you mentioned in Omaha or Anchorage or wherever who may know more than you, or at least a lot, about Central America and who are never asked to speak.
We pick different ways of living our lives. In the early sixties, I was an MIT professor. But when I started giving talks about the war or organizing tax resistance or getting involved in the foundation of RESIST, national resistance support groups, or being faculty advisor for the Rosa Luxemburg SDS at MIT, I didn't have any visibility. There are choices to be made. Some of my close friends who have the same status and chance for visibility that I had actually picked a different way and devoted their lives to organizing and activism. Louis Kampf and I are old friends. We taught courses together for years at MIT, courses which you took years ago. We just went different ways. He devoted himself primarily to real activism and organizing and keeping groups and journals functioning and so on. I tried that and I wasn't any good at it. I found that I was much better at other things, and that there seemed to be a demand for the other things, so I just went that way. That ends up in me being visible. He's visible in other circles than the ones that I'm visible in. But those are just different ways of reacting to the same sorts of problems, depending on your personality and your particular abilities and the kinds of things you can do and the kinds of things you can't do and so on and so forth. The visibility is a surface phenomenon. Visibility is the result of the existence of an active, lively left. If what I've been talking about as the left were to disappear, I would no longer be visible.
As a political commentator.
Yes, I could still appear in linguistics and philosophy meetings, but I would certainly not be visible as a political commentator, because there would be nowhere for me to open my mouth except to my friends. It would be back to the early sixties, when I could talk to people in the living room. The reason that it has changed is because there are opportunities that in fact call for this kind of participation, so that makes people look visible. We mentioned SNCC before. Why did Martin Luther King become visible? Because there were SNCC workers down in the South. And he could appear and serve a role for them.
It seems to me there is a positive and negative side to that. The positive side you've described: there's a political context and it draws people in different ways and people participate. But the negative side seems to me to be, you gave the example of Martin Luther King and yourself. There's a need for a particular visible organizer or a particular visible speaker and proselytizer of information, a presenter of information. But once those slots are filled, then there's a tendency for people to cling to the individuals who are filling those slots. For a long period of time, depending on a number of factors, the number of slots might not broaden out. Nowadays if a group in
It's not. It's hard to break through. There are people who we know in fact who are highly qualified to do lots of things and are eager to do it but sort of can't pass over that barrier. I don't know exactly what the reason for that is, frankly, because all of us had to pass over that barrier at some point. Part of the reason is, the fact of the matter is there haven't been a lot of people available. Take, say, the last ten years, when there's been a lot of activism, a lot of it having to do with
Or we can name the ones we know, but it may well be there are a good many more and we can't name them. That's the problem.
There are a good many more who would be highly qualified and maybe even would like to do it. The question we're asking, and I don't know what the answer is, is how come they don't. First of all, I don't think it's all that hard. Take, say, people who weren't known very well, like Holly Sklar, who probably wasn't known fifteen years ago. She got plenty of invitations all over the place. She became visible. There are others like her. Take my friend Norman Finkelstein on the
It's somewhat difficult. I do think that there's a dynamic there that closes it off.
The bad dynamic, what you're pointing to, is the "star story. It's standard when a popular movement takes off for people to show up and say, OK, I'm your leader. A Eugene McCarthy type, say. Here's a big popular movement. Fine. I'm your leader. Give me power. If you can't give me power I'll go home and write poetry and talk about baseball. And if you can give me power then I become your leader and now you look up to me and you go home and put the power in my hand. That's a familiar dynamic, and Bakunin's Red bureaucracy, no matter what its politics are. It could be right wing, it could be left wing. But there's a better dynamic, which is that the popular movements continue and strengthen, and where there are people around who, for whatever reason or quirk or privilege or whatever it may be, can contribute to them by intellectual activity, they do a part of it. That's all. They're not stars. They're not leaders. They're just contributing in the way that they know how to contribute. That would be a better structure. But it can tend to degenerate into this other very quickly, especially in a culture which is reinforcing their worst tendencies by trying to create an imagery of leadership and stars and heroes and so on.

Not getting too excited about this. EPA tried to rule that water was a pollutant. Any half whit judge (even most socialist appointed ones) could figure out that water running off into more water wasn´t a pollutant. The real story here is an ignoramus judge actually fumbled on the truth. Don´t expect the EPA to back down. They know one judgment can easily be overturned at the appeals level. That is where the really stupid judges reside.
Definitely not getting too excited. It can be appealed to the Supreme Court - which recently ruled that carbon dioxide (exhaled breath) IS a pollutant.
The EPA is a fascist entity controlled by communists and needs to be eliminated now!
Gee, if the EPA filed the lawsuit, why is some wanker from the "New Democrat Network" being quoted about the effects?I amuse myself.

September 16, 2011 Short Messages make Great Advances with SMS Marketing [DMA11]
Since it feels like everybody is using cell phones to communicate these days, it's hard to believe that the first person-to-person SMS text message was only sent in December 1994. The first advertising message didn't appear for another six years. Since 2000, though, SMS has grown rapidly, becoming the largest data service by number of users in the world.
It's now crucial to incorporate SMS marketing as part of an integrated marketing strategy. Consumers are already wired in, with strong representation across all of the most desirable demographic target groups. The direct marketer's job is to find those people and communicate with them in a way that will most effectively motivate the desired action. This may require more segmentation and targeting than traditional direct marketing campaigns, but the potential outcome will be well worth the investment. Those organizations that can use SMS marketing to engage consumers and create conversations will be able to provide more product information, buying recommendations, or requested action steps than ever before.
Learn about the latest advances in SMS marketing at the October DMA2011 Conference & Exhibition. Download a catalog so you can plan the most effective use of your time, then visit the DMA registration page to lock in your place. Register by September 30 and save up to $200.

For more than 50 years Karl Butzer, a renowned environmental archaeologist at The University of Texas at Austin, has trekked across continents, sifted through countless excavations and pored over collections in some of the world's greatest libraries and museums in a quest to better understand humanity's age-old relationship to the natural environment. He has seen …
Arts & Humanities - Societal Collapse
Doomsday Scenarios Make Better Fiction Than Science, Says Researcher Karl Butzer
By David Ochsner, College of Liberal Arts
Published: June 20, 2012-
Russ Long said on July 11, 2012 at 11:16 a.m.
@ Karla Busch: I guess I'm focusing on this section of the article: " Focusing solely on environmental factors — such as climate change — results in "finger-pointing and fear-mongering," he says, when our energy would be better spent in finding new ways to adapt to a changing world." That suggests, to me at least, that Butzer thinks we are wasting our time attempting to "preserve the environment", and that we should just adapt to whatever environment we wind up with. That is the part I have a problem with. In the past crises that Mr. Butzer has studied, moving to an unaffected area was one way to adapt. But with climate change, that option doesn't really exist. -
Karla Busch said on July 1, 2012 at 7:47 p.m.
Adaptation is changing to survive. I do not believe that Karl Butzer is saying that we can go on abusing the resources we have or ignore our responsibility to preserving our environment, but that environmental collapse is not inevitable IF we adapt. Which I understand to mean research and discuss the problem and make the change. We must stop the political and commercial incompetence -- understand (place a value on) the true costs or our actions or inaction and make changes that are critical to our long-term survival. We as citizens of the U.S. and the world must push our leadership to focus on critical environmental and socio-ecomonic matters that determine our future. I understand Mr. Butzer to mean, build smarter and stronger human networks that will change and adapt to survive.

I am proud to inform you all three GIBA replacement causeway bridges are designed to last 75 years. They are also far safer and more reliable than the bridges they will replace. Daily traffic flow will be improved with the elimination of the "speed bumps," and they will be the very first coastal bridges in our state to be built to withstand a 17-foot hurricane-force storm surge.
The hard work of our board, our engineering committee, led by Thor Johnson, and our finance committee, led by Bill Holmberg, has resulted in solid, successful engineering and finance plans. They will ensure we have first-class bridge designs ready on time, and sufficient construction funds available on time to pay for these GIBA replacement bridges.
Next month, in March, our GIBA toll customers will begin observing our Phase 1 Construction. Orion Marine Coastal construction crews will be on site working along the causeway, and in barges nearby, as we begin the major $14.3 million project to replace our center and south fixed bridges.
On February 1, GIBA paid off our Bank of America loans ($1.2 million) out of our cash reserves. In two weeks GIBA financing for this key Phase 1 project will be accomplished via a short term $15 million line of credit with Bank of America.
In early 2014, when GIBA's two new fixed bridges are complete and operational, the board plans to be ready to fully fund the Phase 2: Construction. That is when the three-year project to replace our historic swing bridge with a taller, new swing bridge at an estimated cost of $22 million should begin. To make this final construction funding happen on time requires GIBA to increase our current annual revenues by approximately $1.7 million.
The key GIBA Board financial question: What is the best mix of available toll revenues and, possibly, tax revenue options to meet that goal? The GIBA Board needs to determine in the next few months which options to pursue, and they are actively encouraging input from island residents and businesses.
To help our customers best understand GIBA's limited revenue raising options, the GIBA finance committee, under Bill Holmberg's direction, has prepared a solid, detailed plan, that was presented to the public on January 26, and is now available on the GIBA web site, giba.us; (simply go to the tab: Press/Media).
This latest GIBA finance plan provides a variety of revenue options: Raising the current cash toll, decreasing the discount, and possibly adding a new property tax.
Your GIBA Board is actively seeking maximum community input on these issues. They would like to know which toll increase and possible property tax options residents and businesses desire, and why.
They also recognize the charm and ambiance of the village community requires our island businesses and restaurants to remain vibrant and healthy.
To best accomplish this key GIBA and community decision-making process, the GIBA board has set up a new "Community Toll/Tax Information Program," led by GIBA board member Pete Saeger. The purpose of this new information program is to gain citizen input on what the island community feels is "best balance" over the next two years to raise the approximate $1.7 million annually in additional revenue.
Pete Saeger is ready and willing to take the various GIBA revenue mix options to homeowners associations and business groups over the next few months, to help provide one-on-one information to the public and to gain feedback. GIBA is seeking what folks feel is the "best balance" – a mix of these three options, to ensure GIBA can raise annual revenues by $1.7 million annually.
This funding is necessary to finance GIBA's phase 2 construction of the swing bridge, and to pay off the new fixed bridge loan.
If our community believes the property tax is desirable, the GIBA board needs to place a bridge property tax referendum on the ballot this November, and the language must be ready to file by August, 2012.
GIBA encourages community members with positive toll/tax ideas to send them via email to Jim Cooper at email@example.com, and please "CC" Pete Saeger (email@example.com).
Everyone is invited to listen and participate in ongoing public GIBA board discussion of these options at the next GIBA quarterly board meeting on Tuesday, Feb. 14, in the auditorium at the Boca Grande Community Center at 9 a.m.
Jim Cooper is the executive director of the Gasparilla Island Bridge Authority
