Oxidative stress contributes to the pathogenesis of many respiratory disorders, including bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD), or chronic lung disease in infants. Treatment of BPD often involves respiratory support with high oxygen levels, and oxidant injury is an adverse side effect associated with vascular damage and impaired lung development and function in a subset of infants. Differential susceptibility to BPD is poorly understood and previous studies have demonstrated genetic susceptibility to hyperoxic lung injury in strains of adult inbred mice. Furthermore, genetic polymorphisms in a few candidate genes have been associated with BPD in clinical cohorts; however, specific genetic factors predisposing neonates to oxidant lung injury are poorly understood. The objective of this dissertation was to utilize integrated genetic and genomic approaches to identify predictors of susceptibility to neonatal hyperoxic lung injury. Neonates from 36 strains of inbred mice were screened for lung

Matt Damon Wiki
His parents got divorced when he was two decades old, and Matt and his brother returned together with their mom from Newton (where they'd transferred to) into Cambridge, where they dwelt at an six-family communal residence. He also attended Cambridge Alternative School (currently Graham and Parks) and lasted into Cambridge Rindge and Latin School. In high school, Matt played as a celebrity in several college theater productions, although Ben Affleck, his great friend and schoolmate, got the "largest roles and longest addresses " in the moment. Matt provides credit to play educator, Gerry Speca, as a significant artistic impact in his or her life. After high school, he attended Harvard University, where he had been a part of the course of 1992. But because of a function from the movie Geronimo: An American Legend, he abandoned before getting his diploma. Throughout his time at Harvard, he wrote a historical treatment of the screenplay for Good Will Hunting as a workout for an English course. He afterwards received accolades such as an Academy Award for its screenplay in 1998. The award was given to him Harvard alumnus Jack Lemmon, who'd been a part of Harvard's Delphic Club along with Matt. A couple of decades after, Matt became among the very sought after actors on earth, bagging major characters in hit films. Some of the most well-known roles comprise — as Jason Bourne from the Bourne franchise (2002–16) and as a con man at the Ocean 's Trilogy (2001–07). His portrayal of Scott Thorson at the biopic supporting the Candelabra (2013) also scored him Emmy Award nominations in addition to for making the reality series Project Greenlight. He even received an Oscar nomination for making Manchester by the Sea. Acting isn't Matt's sole forte as he's done voice-over functions in both documentary and animated films and has created two manufacturing firms with Affleck. He's also been engaged in charitable works such as the 1 Campaign, H2O Africa Foundation, Feeding America and Water.org.

Rated 5 out of 5 by kevin from Works! This X-Connector does what it's supposed to do. Thanks Point Source Audio for this connector, we went from Shure body packs to Sennheiser body packs. This is also good for taking your microphone to other venues and plug into other systems with the different X-Connectors for different brand wireless systems. I do wish there wasn't a chance to over tighten but Point Source Audio does warn on the connector to not over tighten.
I want to use my Sennheiser mics on my zoom N1. Because of the threaded collar, it doesn't fit perfectly into my Zoom N1. Does this cable convert the Sennheiser connector to a regular 3.5mm plug?
This adapter is specifically for Point Source mics to connect into Sennheiser wireless bodypack transmitters.

Willy Tea Taylor: The Very Best of the Whispering Beard
Dan Van Vechten
Thursday, August 21, 2014, 5:12am
It's an old baseball glove
It's my granddaddy's knife
It's a good pair of boots
It's a farmer's wife
So begins the song, "Life is Beautiful", which Willy Tea Taylor introduces to explain to people where he is from rather than naming the northern California town where he was born. The reflections on simple things that make life meaningful are threaded through lyrics to songs that make large rooms and festival crowds alike stand silently and sway as they nod to the truth they are listening to. On a tenor guitar with just four strings, Willy artfully weaves melodies and textures with lyrics that can range from funny and playful to downright powerful. An honest, genuine songwriter, Willy Tea is the perfect candidate for playing the Whispering Beard Folk Festival. He does not write down his lyrics or prepare a set list. His adaptability and creative tendencies will often allow a song to evolve over time. The "52-Week Club" he began with two friends in Colorado Springs became a model for Cincinnati songwriters to get together challenge themselves and each other to create original music based on nothing more than a theme drawn at random and a challenge to have a new song when the group meets again a week later.
Although this year will be the first Whispering Beard Folk Festival for Willy Tea Taylor, it will certainly not be his first appearance in Cincinnati. In fact, his music has been preceding his presence even before Willy Tea's first visit for the Whispering Beard Folk Festival's Christmas Party in December 2013. Before Matt "Buffalo Wabs" Wabnitz had the Price Hill Hustle, he was playing a song introduced to him by a friend living in Fort Collins, Colorado. Wabnitz was sent a video of this scruffy looking mountain man scratching out a new song in the corner of a dark room. The song Taylor was singing was "The Very Best", written on the topic of the same name for a 52-Week Club challenge. Wabnitz began mining YouTube to find everything he could, and down in YouTube's rabbit hole he found a version of "The Very Best" performed by a band called The Harmed Brothers. The Harmed Brothers' version takes a different approach to the song but captures the same haunting feel. The version Wabnitz started playing was influenced as much by Harmed Brothers as Taylor's, and he soon began playing "The Very Best" at open mics. When Casey Campbell began adding his percussion and powerful harmonies, the Hustle started to find its sound. To this day the song remains one of the trademarks of the Price Hill Hustle, and they also honor Taylor's songwriting with a stirring rendition of "Everywhere Now". The Harmed Brothers have since toured with Willy Tea Taylor, and visits to Cincinnati by both acts have helped solidify a remarkable relationship between them and the Price Hill Hustle that is centered on one song. Well, one song and baseball.
Wabnitz sought out The Harmed Brothers and invited them to play at the Whispering Beard Folk Festival in 2013. Wabnitz is well known as a baseball fan, with past Whispering Beard events including baseball in its themes. During the Festival, Wabnitz said he spent a considerable amount of time walking around the Festival grounds and talking about baseball with The Harmed Brothers' Ray Vietti. The two found common ground over their shared love, and it helped to solidify a memorable start to a friendship that has endured. Willy Tea is also a baseball fan and has his share of baseball-themed songs, but perhaps his most memorable is the song, "A Brand New Game", a reflection on life and family using baseball terminology as metaphors to describe people dear to him and the meaning of participating in each other's lives. Wabnitz will occasionally get a text message from Vietti or Taylor with nothing more than quick updates and thoughts on baseball, but the friendships they share also share deeper layers than a simple game. This weekend's festivities will surely lead to some mean wiffleball action among the musicians, but it will also allow the bands who share common loves to influence each other through music as well. When all three acts have been together in the past, there is usually a culminating moment when Willy, The Harmed Brothers, and Buffalo Wabs & The Price Hill Hustle sing the song that has brought so many Beardos together. Over time, those who have heard the numerous performances will hear elements of each band's take appear in each other's versions.
Whether it is over music, baseball, or the friendship that has formed between Willy Tea Taylor and other Whispering Beard Folk Festival musicians and fans, this weekend's festivities will certainly be The Very Best of all three.
Dan Van Vechten shares his love for local music by putting it in his blog. If there is a band or a venue you've never heard of in town that could use your attention, he's going to try to get your attention. When he's not writing about music, Dan is often writing songs of his own and playing them in the places folky singer/songwriters go.

Peter Parker (Andrew Garfield) is keeping busy apprehending criminals all over the city in the guise of Spider-Man. During one of his missions, he rescues the socially inept OsCorp employee Max Dillon (Jamie Foxx), who turns into Spidey's Biggest Fanboy.
Harry Osborn (Dane DeHaan), a childhood friend of Peter's, comes to town to visit/say goodbye to his terminally ill father (Chris Cooper). Norman Osborn dies, leaving OsCorp to his son. The OsCorp Vice President (Colm Feore) is less happy about the company's new direction.
Meanwhile, Gwen Stacy (Emma Stone) has got herself a job at OsCorp, but starts to smell a rat after a workplace accident turns Max Dillon from super-fanboy into super-jilted-fanboy-now-supervillain-out-for-blood.
Also starring Sally Field as Aunt May, Felicity Jones as Felicia, Embeth Davidtz as Mary Parker, Campbell Scott as Richard Parker, Marton Csokas as Dr Ashley Kafka, and Paul Giamatti as Aleksei "Rhino" Sytsevich.
It would seem like Sony are milking the franchise for all it's got before they have to hand the reigns back to Marvel/Disney – hence this re-boot so soon after the Tobey Maguire trilogy – and they're doing a pretty good job of it, if I may say so. The comic book character is a wise-cracking kinda guy, and while it's true that I shouldn't make any kind of comparisons to the comic when I haven't read any of it, I have seen some of one of the animated shows he's in, and that character is very different than the memory I have of Maguire's Spidey.
Jamie Foxx, you amazing actor, you. Max Dillon is rather creepy, but Foxx still manages to make him somewhat sympathetic. I mean, how can you not feel SOMETHING for a guy who makes himself a birthday card because his co-workers couldn't care less about his birthday?
This is a really entertaining film, and there aren't many spiders in it either (phew!). It felt a little bit slow at times – although slow isn't the right word, but there were parts I felt the need to shift around in the cinema seat and wanted to check what time it was to see how much might be left of it, but that doesn't mean it was slow-paced or dull, because it wasn't. It's enjoyable enough, and Andrew Garfield as Peter Parker is charming and funny, and I like that.
Was it good, better or worse than the previous film? Probably about the same.

In this work, a 3D printed polymer-metal soft-magnetic composite was developed and characterized for its material, structural, and functional properties. The material comprises acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS) as the polymer matrix, with up to 40 vol. % stainless steel micropowder as the filler. The composites were rheologically analyzed and 3D printed into tensile and flexural test specimens using a commercial desktop 3D printer. Mechanical characterization revealed a linearly decreasing trend of the ultimate tensile strength (UTS) and a sharp decrease in Young's modulus with increasing filler content. Four-point bending analysis showed a decrease of up to 70% in the flexural strength of the composite and up to a two-factor increase in the secant modulus of elasticity. Magnetic hysteresis characterization revealed retentivities of up to 15.6 mT and coercive forces of up to 4.31 kA/m at an applied magnetic field of 485 kA/m. The composite shows promise as a material for the additive manufacturing of passive magnetic sensors and/or actuators.

Das Gasthaus Adler in Oberlauchringen im Landkreis Waldshut in Baden-Württemberg ist im 1303 bis 1308 erstellten Habsburger Urbar genannt und zählt damit zu den ältesten urkundlich nachweisbaren Gaststätten in Deutschland. Die Gastwirtschaft führt heute noch den Doppeladler, der dem Kaisertum Österreich entstammt und auf die Funktion als Posthalterei der Kaiserlichen Reichspost zurückzuführen ist. Das Gasthaus Adler wurde der Überlieferung zufolge ununterbrochen bewirtschaftet und wird seit 1988 von dem Ehepaar Peter und Maria Hartmann geführt. Seit 1910 befindet sich die Gaststätte in Familienbesitz.

Im September 2021 fand die Weiterführung des Betriebs in fünfter Familiengeneration durch die Söhne des Ehepaars Hartmann, Daniel und Michael Hartmann, im Zusammenhang mit der Erweiterung durch einen Hoteltrakt statt.

Lage und Bauwerk
Der Adler Lauchringen liegt in der Nähe der Grenze zur Schweiz, die durch den Hochrhein gebildet wird, unweit der Zusammenführung der Bundesstraßen 34 und 314 an einem Flussübergang der Wutach, der für seine Geschichte bestimmend war. Im nahen Umfeld liegt die Ruine der Küssaburg.

Das Bauwerk in seiner derzeitigen Form besteht seit 1578, seit einem Umbau zur Einrichtung als Posthalterei der von Rudolf II. auf Vorschlag der Augsburger Kaufmannschaft geplanten Kaiserlichen Reichspost. Bis dahin wird der Adler Station der habsburgischen Postlinie für den Kurs Wien – Innsbruck – Freiburg gewesen sein. Die Kaiserliche Reichspost übernahm alle Kurse ab 1597 unter der Leitung der Familie Thurn und Taxis.

Unter den Besitzern Peter und Maria Hartmann "reifte schon früh der Gedanke, Teile der Gaststätte zu modernisieren und das angebaute Nachbarhaus Herzog in die [Hotel-]Umbaupläne einzubeziehen." Peter Hartmann: "'Gastronomie in unserer [bisherigen] Größe (hat) keine Zukunftschancen […] Neue Zimmer sind hohe Investitionen, doch die Rendite ist besser." […] Die bestehende Gastwirtschaft bleibt wie sie ist. Sie wird lediglich mit Durchgängen mit dem neuen Teil verbunden.

Aktuelle Erweiterung des Betriebes
2016 erwarb die Familie Hartmann das angrenzende landwirtschaftliches Anwesen, dessen "Scheune und der Stall im Herbst 2019 abgerissen werden konnte. […] Im Mai 2020 (konnte) mit dem Anbau des neuen Hoteltraktes begonnen werden. Nach den Vorgaben des Denkmalschutzes musste er sich in seiner modernen Bauweise deutlich von der historischen Bauart der bestehenden Gaststätte abheben." Es entstand eine eigene Hotelküche, ein Biergarten und ein Veranstaltungsraum in einem der Gewölbekeller. Seniorchef Peter Hartmann und seine Frau führen die Gaststätte weiter, eine Arbeitsplatz (Koch) und drei Ausbildungsplätze entstanden neu.

Historische Ereignisse
Traditionell kamen die Alamannen, die ab Mitte des 5. Jahrhunderts nach dem Abzug der Römer das Land besiedelten, "zu beratenden Versammlungen an bestimmten Plätzen zum 'Ding' zusammen, und auch das freie kaiserliche Landgericht tagte an diesen altherkömmlichen Dingstätten, […] bis die Gerichtstage etwa von der Mitte des 15. Jahrhunderts an vor allem bei schlechter Witterung in die Ratshäuser oder bestimmte Wirtshäuser wie den Adler in Oberlauchringen […] verlegt wurden."

Schiedsgericht
Überliefert ist eine Versammlung im Jahre 1602 "von Vertretern des Kaisers Rudolf II., des Grafen von Sulz und der Bauern, die sich gegen letzteren wegen seiner Mißwirtschaft aufgelehnt hatten." (Lauchringer Chronik, S. 335). Tatsächlich musste der Graf die Herrschaft an seinen Bruder Karl Ludwig abgeben und die Regelung, der "Abschied", wurde am 27. Januar 1603 "im Posthaus zu Oberlauchringen" vorgenommen. (Chronik, S. 39).

Besitz der Familie Würtenberger
1622 ist das Anwesen genauer beschrieben, mit Gärten, Äckern und Wiesen in der Nähe, außerdem in den Gemarkungen Bechtersbohl (Rebgelände) und in Schwerzen. Das ausgedehnte Besitztum und die Kontrolle über die Zollerhebungen bedingte eine Bewirtschaftung durch Pächter und 1686 – nach der Erholung des Landes von den Verheerungen im Dreißigjährigen Krieg –

"... begann der für das traditionsreiche Gasthaus glanzvollste Zeitabschnitt seiner Geschichte im Besitz der Familie Carl Würtenberger." (Lauchringer Chronik, 329).

Der Stein über dem Tor zum Gewölbe des Hauptgebäudes verweist auf die Zeit im Besitz der Familie Würtenberger.

Kaiserbesuch

Hier wirkte auch die ältere Tradition der ländlichen Stützpunkte der Reichsorganisation nach, denn die Meldereiter waren Tag und Nacht unterwegs und die Städte schlossen des Nachts ihre Tore. Der Posthalter Johann Baptist Würtenberger war – laut Text zum Kaiserporträt – "am Kaiserlichen Hof zu Wien ebenso geschätzt wie im Klettgau." Auch dies bewog den Kaiser, der auch kein Aufsehen um seine Person liebte, wohl zum Aufenthalt im Adler.

Geschichte
Das Gasthaus hat als Station und Herberge noch eine ältere, bis in die Frühzeit reichende Geschichte, denn die Lage zwischen einem Übergang über die Wutach und dem früher flussartigen Bach aus der Landschaft Klettgau führte auch zwei uralte Handelswege zusammen, die beide über archäologische Befunde aus der Römerzeit angenommen werden können.

Überlegungen der Heimatforschung

Da die Wutach bis zu ihrer Regulierung 1816 häufig ein 'reißendes' Hochwasser führte (Namensbedeutung: die "wütende Ach"), waren Händler mit ihren Transportwagen, Reisende und Reiter an der Furt oft zu Wartezeiten gezwungen. Meldereiter benötigten auch Pferdewechsel und Ablösungen. Die Stelle war auch nicht zu umgehen, denn das Gelände zwischen den beiden heutigen Lauchringen-Orten war weitläufig versumpft. Erst 1770 konnte eine "feste Wagenbrücke" gebaut werden.

Die Süd-Nord-Verbindung war Teil der römischen Heeresstraße aus dem Voralpenland (Vindonissa), dem Rheinübergang bei Bad Zurzach/Schweiz (Tenedo) nach Rottweil (Arae Flaviae). Die Ost-West-Verbindung gewann erst im späteren Mittelalter an Bedeutung und wurde nach der Wutachregulierung 1816 zur Hauptverbindung (Bodensee-Schaffhausen-Basel).

Habsburger Urbar
Die erste schriftliche Überlieferung ist das Habsburger Urbar, ein Eigentumsverzeichnis ("Rechte und Einkünfte"), das zwischen 1303 und 1308 nach einer Anordnung des Habsburger Königs Albrecht I. erstellt worden war. Hier ist zu Oberlauchringen eine "dafern" verzeichnet, eine mit dem "Tafernrecht" ausgestattete Einrichtung, die sich in herrschaftlichem Besitz befand. Die Region stand unter der Herrschaft der Freiherren von Krenkingen, doch das Haus war habsburgisches "Eigen gewesen und eines der ältesten Wirtshäuser des Landes." Es kann angenommen werden, dass der Ort bereits Jahrhunderte zuvor Teil der Stationen ("Eigengüter") der Reichsherrschaft war. Unter den Franken, den Karolinger-Königen und Kaisern waren bereits im Mittelalter ehedem römische Bauten in ein eigenes "Verkehrsnetz" einbezogen worden. Eine wichtige Funktion war der Pferdewechsel für Meldereiter.

Nur zwei Jahrzehnte vor der Erstellung des Habsburger Urbars endete die berüchtigte "kaiserlose Zeit" der Willkürherrschaft lokaler Ritter und des Adels, unter denen Bauern und Klöster zu leiden hatten, durch das energische Vorgehen des Grafen Rudolf, der auch im Klettgau und Südschwarzwald zahlreiche Burgen zerstörte und 1273 zum deutschen König gewählt wurde bzw. sich als König durchsetzte. Da sich Habsburg danach schon rasch als 'Großmacht' entwickeln konnte, wurde auch die rechtliche Organisation des Reiches zur Notwendigkeit. Es ist ein 'kleines Wunder', dass dieses Dokument erhalten blieb:

Die Bedeutung des Habsburger Urbar für die Raumschaft zeigt sich auch darin, dass ein Klettgaugraf es 170 Jahre später abschreiben ließ: Der Bruder von Alwig X. von Sulz, Graf Rudolf IV., beauftragte eine Abschrift. Das Urbar war bei der Zerstörung der Burg Stein bei Baden im Jahr 1417 mitsamt dem ganzen Archiv der Österreicher von den Eidgenossen nach Luzern verbracht worden. Die Abschrift wurde in den Jahren 1479 bis 1480 zunächst durch Diebold Schilling d. J. und danach durch den Schreiber der Innsbrucker Raitkammer angefertigt.

Zollstation
Die nächste Erwähnung der 'Taverne' stammt aus dem 15. Jahrhundert und sie charakterisiert auch eine Dezentralisierung: es veräußerte die Grafenfamilie Sulz 1441 "die Täfren zu obern Loucheringen" an Hans Schach den Älteren, Bürger zu Laufenburg, gegen bare 125 Goldgulden.

Infolge der wirtschaftliche Entwicklung waren in diesen Zeiten die Städte als Machtfaktoren präsent und an exponierten Punkten der Landesgrenzen wie Flussbrücken waren Zolleinnahmen zu erzielen. So war der Adler Zollstation zwischen der Landgrafschaft Stühlingen und der Landgrafschaft Klettgau.

Unter den Grafen von Sulz
Im Europa der territorial wachsenden Nationalstaaten ab dem 15. Jahrhundert wurde die Einrichtung eines zuverlässigen Nachrichten- und Transportwesens immer wichtiger – für Politik und Militär und zunehmend für die großen Handelshäuser, etwa die Fugger in Augsburg. In diesem Rahmen wird der Adler dann als Poststation ausgebaut worden sein.

Der Bauherr im Jahr 1578 ist nicht sicher zu ermitteln, denn nach dem Tod des Landgrafen Alwig von Sulz (1572) waren seine Söhne noch minderjährig, so dass eine Vormundschaftsregierung mit dem Grafen Heinrich von Fürstenberg-Heiligenberg und dem Grafen von Helfenstein die Regierung der Landgrafschaft bis 1583 übernahm. Die unmittelbaren Landesherren fielen somit als Bauherren aus. Sie blieben allerdings Eigentümer des Adler und sind trotz einer Erblehenvergabe 1551 bis zum endgültigen Verkauf an die Familie Würtenberger am 23. Dezember 1686 als Besitzer geführt. Carl Würtenberger musste lediglich weiter Wein der Grafen abnehmen und eine Pauschale auf die Zolleinnahmen abführen. Die Würtenberger führten den Adler als Posthalterei, Tagungsstätte, Zolleinnahmestation, Getreidehandel und Wirtschaft sowie umfangreichen Anbauflächen bis zum Jahr 1855. Der Verkäufer, Graf Johann Ludwig II. von Sulz, starb 1687 und war der Letzte seines Geschlechts.

Umbau zur Poststation
Viel spricht dafür, dass das Gebäude 1578 in der Vorbereitungszeit der Kaiserlichen Reichspost um- oder neugebaut worden war – zu einem Verkehrsnetz, das zwar erst ab 1595 gegründet, jedoch schon im Vorfeld zur Ablösung der sogenannten Botenanstalten der Städte eingerichtet wurde. Damit war bereits das italienische Adelsgeschlecht der Taxis betraut, die ab 1650 zu den Grafen von Thurn und Taxis erhoben wurden und in ihrem Wappen auch einen Löwen führten. Zum Symbol der Post wurde jedoch der Doppeladler.

Der Doppeladler geht auf Kaiser Sigismund und das Jahr 1433 zurück – in einer Übergangsphase symbolisierte der einfache Adler den römisch-deutschen König, der doppelköpfige den Kaiser. Maximilian führte den Doppeladler im Wappen, der schließlich auch zum Symbol der Reichspost wurde.

Die Kaiserliche Reichspost war das erste reichsweite Postunternehmen im Heiligen Römischen Reich. Begründet wurde sie durch ein Postregal Rudolfs II. und sie stand damit offiziell unter dem Schutz des Kaisers. In Kriegszeiten erhielten die Poststationen eine Salvaguardia [Schutzbrief mit Privilegien und Freiheiten], die sie vor Übergriffen schützen sollte. Betreiber der Kaiserlichen Reichspost waren Mitglieder der Familie der Taxis, die sich ab 1650 mit kaiserlicher Genehmigung in Thurn und Taxis umbenannten und bis 1811 ohne Unterbrechung die Generalpostmeister stellten. Nach der Gründung des Großherzogtums Baden 1806 wurde die Kaiserliche Reichspost bald darauf von der Badischen Post weitergeführt.

Ein während des Baus des Hoteltraktes aufgefundener Markstein weist Kürzel und Jahreszahlen aus, die bislang noch nicht sicher gedeutet sind.

Gegen Ende des 19. Jahrhunderts wurde die in eine Postagentur umgewandelte Posthalterei in ein benachbartes Anwesen verlegt. Damit endete die 'Mehrfachfunktion' des Gebäudekomplexes.

20. Jahrhundert
"Im Jahre 1910 erwarb Eugen Frey vom Eichberg zusammen mit seiner Frau Maria das Gasthaus und betrieb es mit neuer Konzession" ab 30. August 1910. Nach seinem Tod 1927 "führte seine Frau Maria den Betrieb weiter bis zur Übergabe an im Jahr 1951 an die Tochter Frieda Hartmann, geborene Frey, (die Witwe des Jakob Hartmann aus Lauchringen, der im Jahr 1944 im Zweiten Weltkrieg gefallen ist). Im Jahr 1969 übernahmen deren Sohn Ernst Hartmann und seine Frau Alma, geborene Ritter, das Gasthaus Adler bis zur Übergabe an ihren Sohn Peter und seine Frau Maria Hartmann im Jahre 1988."

Protestors Scrutinized by the FBI
November 23, 2003 8:58 AM Subscribe
If you've participated in an anti-war rally, or helped organize a demonstration, the FBI may have a file on you. The FBI claims that they are only weeding out anarchists and other "extremists." But the ACLU and some legal scholars are warning of a return of Hooverism. Attention pinkos: You can run, but you can't hide, because you're probably on the no-fly list.

is it now illegal to be an anarchist - to believe, but not act?

can you be an anarchist without acting? isn't that dangerously close to saying you'll only be an individual if everyone else is an individual too? i mean that, more than any other political philosophy, doesn't anarchism put the responsibility to act in your hands?

Apparently freedom isn't such a beautiful thing after all.
This is outrageous. Hooverism? Sounds like a return to Nixonism, and one can only hope this administration will come to the same ignominious end.
Here's a prior thread posted by dejah420 on the no-fly list.

Put all things in your hands. But why does this about the FBI surprise you? Nothing has changed or is likley to since it is the conservative FBI that defends and protects the interests of the govt in power as they view it. this is why during the Viet protests, so many at rallies took to wearing either masks or big sings with obscenities so as not to be photographed for TV. Now, if you feel you have been "mistreated" by FBI actions, send to them for Freedom of Info on your file/name and see what nesxt happens.

I though that anarchists didn't believe in laws anyway. Wouldn't being legal spoil all the fun?

Here's some information on how to use the Freedom of Information Act and the Privacy Act to secure copies of your records (should they exist) from the federal agency of your choice.
Having a file, in an information age, is in itself, rather innocuous...it's the contents of the file which are important. Not only can your political affiliations put you on the "no-fly" list, it can stop you from leaving the country via the north, and can stop you from entering a number of other western countries.
There are laws in place that allow you to change what's in those files...but you can't do that if you don't know what's there.

"should they exist" is the operative term here. Believe me the overwhelming majority of us, of any political stripe are not worth bothering with to the powers at be. Trust me, we all worry them about as much as cloudy day.
I imagine many people would be disappointed if they didn't have a file. But I imagine your egos will recover.
What's your point, jonmc? Most of us are too insignificant for this to affect us directly, so therefore it's just peachy-keen that they're doing it?

After having never been searched on any flight ever, in less than a week recently I got stopped and pulled out from Indianapolis-LAX, LAX-London, and detained at immigration for 4 hrs at Heathrow and suspiciously questioned and attacked and threatened with arrest and deportation (for no real stated reason other than that I wasn't initially clear if I was staying with someone who was a friend or lover). I'm a white American female who spent 6mos in London on a work permit (working for a stop-smoking charity, nothing political) and then came back a month later on a tourist permit. My British friends think it's because I'm living with a bunch of British Asians, and my boyfriend (also Br.Asian) has a Muslim last name. While I had to give his name at immigration, who else would possibly be keeping track of these things? Why was I searched on 2 flights before even getting here? All my brown friends have always said that airlines are racist as hell. At LAX, I was the ONLY white person in a search-line of at least a dozen black and brown people, all cordoned off behind a wall where the other passengers couldn't see us. I'm mystified by the seeming inability to address legitimate threats, combined with the endless capacity to track down even the most innocuous pacifist. One of my friends says he's been searched on every airline and every flight ever since he had a manic episode while on vacation 5 years ago and kinda flipped out on the plane on the way to check himself in to a hospital. He's convinced they have some sort of "mentally unstable" list that goes everywhere.
As immigration has already said they're watching me, I gave up and joined the anti-Bush protest in London last week, wearing my Terrorist No. 1 American flag t-shirt. So Britain doesn't want me, and America won't want me back, I presume. ;)

I don't think it's "peachy keen," although there are some fringe groups that bear watching on both the right and the left. It's just that all the panic smacks of "look, look, I'm being repressed!"
NTM, I doubt most of you would be upset if the FBI was keeping files on say The Michigan Militia rather than anarchist groups. Not that I care much for them but you see what I'm saying.

But the ACLU and some legal scholars are warning of a return of Hooverism.
Specifically, the Cointelpro program.
Meanwhile, the House and Senate have passed a largely secret intelligence bill which, amongst other things, expands the Patriot Act by making it easier for the FBI to get records from businesses without the approval of a judge or a grand jury. What's next, the Victory Act?
And in the UK, new laws will give the Government the power to over-ride civil liberties in times of crisis, restrict people's movements and confiscate property.
I would appreciate it if life would stop trying to imitate the Onion.

Meanwhile, reporters are taking leisurely strolls around unsecured chemical facilities. An attack on one of these could lead to thousands if not millions of deaths, but the chemical lobby shot down legislation requiring them to beef up security.
Someone in the government doesn't have their priorities straight, IMHO.
can you be an anarchist without acting?
I would say yes. As a caveat, I don't know any of those bandana-masked professional protestors that most people are talking about when they say "anarchist," but I think that one can be an anarchist wihtout "acting." Why? because anarchism isn't about violently or immediately ridding ourselves of all order. It's about trajectories and adding a new filter to our decision-making process, namely "does this create or perpetuate unjustified power relationships?"
It will be sweet when one day I am taken to a special interrogation/political torture room in an airport and made to stan in line behind Norman Mailer, Kurt Vonnegut, Gore Vidal, and Noam Chomsky. We'll have a drink, and I'll wish I was as close to death as they are.

Well, before this becomes another Bush-Bashing fest, we should not forget that FBI intelligence was a key factor behind arrests at the Republican convention at Philadelphia (including the infamous pupetistas and the non-violent direct-action activists held on 1 million dollar bond for carrying a cell phones and palm pilots.) The FBI was also responsible for providing intelligence critical to stopping fair trade protesters from Prague, and may have trained the Itallian law enforcement officers whose refusal to negotiate ground rules for civil protest at Genoa and included mulitple civil rights violations against prisoners.
In other words, our ability to protest government policy has gone to hell in a handbasket over the course of the last 10 years. 9-11 may have accelerated the slide, but counterintelpro tactics were already being used during the 2000 election campaign.

A few months ago I had a chat (for about 90 minutes) with a good friend who is generally liberal--lives in Santa Cruz mountains the last 30 years--but since 9/11 supports Bush solely because of his reponse to that event and the tax cuts. He seemed to be reacting at a very pragmatic, won't affect me directly level when I asked him about the deficiencies in, say, the Patriot Act and specifically rejected my tagging of the Bushinistas as facist. But I'm thinking it's about time to have lunch with him and reopen this conversation.

I'm not a hippie! I'm one of you guys! Oh God, I was wrong! I should have voted for Nader!" before being shot in the back of the head by Republican stormtroopers.

I honestly don't see how "western liberal democracies" naturally lead one "to fascist state." Seems to me the connection is more in regards to which bastards get in power and what they want to do with that power once they get it. Whether they are democrat or republican, or in regards to the UK ...holy cow but you guys are all over the map. I don't think the party matters. It's the people pushing the platform that keep the party legitimate or illegitimate.
I've long believed that if you're not corrupt when you get in politics, you will become corrupt soon afterwards. Especially if you get a little power under your belt. So I've come to trust political ideas that make sense to me, but never the used car salesman types which hawk their political wares.
Laws don't kill people's rights. People who legislate and enforce laws kill people's rights. Don't hate the game. Hate the playa. *smirk*

Ignatius - i didn't mean, by "acting", becoming involved with violence, but rather acting in accordance with what you believe. isn't there more to being an anarchist that being aware of unjustified power?
i can imagine a marxist banker (waiting for history ;o), but as an anarchist, don't you stand alone - it's your responsibility, and no-one else's, to create an appropriate existence.
i don't think i'm explaining this very well - it's something of an emotional response, rather than a theoretical position. at some point in the past, i would have called myself an anarchist. i think somewhere near the start of woodcock's history he explains this better than i could - unfortunately i'm not at home, so can't dig out the quote.
posted by andrew cooke at 12:37 PM on November 23, 2003
I understand what you're saying andrew cooke, and I think it's true to some extent. I also think that every citizen of a republic has that same responsibility. We just aren't taught that in civics classes. The constitution provides for this (well, right not responsibility).
I agree that there is more to being an anarchist than just contemplating theory, (though i've met plent of anarchists who really only ever contemplate theory). I think that the contemporary anarchist movement works more through education and providing services, and not through devious plots. Most anarchists that I know don't want to do anything illegal because they aren't interested in being martyrs. The Catholic Church produces enough nuns who are willing to sit in federal prison for six months. That's not really the issue.
Obviously violence isn't going to help anything - something slow and organic and grassroots, I think, would work better. It's no good aiming for a revolution where all of a sudden everyone's tv goes out and nobody has any clue what to do.
Although I can really only speak for myself, I think that most people who are political activists are very upset about Michigan Militias being destroyed, the bombing of Waco, etc. We're trying to have a republic here, folks. There's no place for internal policing of ideas.

andrew cooke: It seems to me that being an anarchist simply means holding certain beliefs. But it's possible for someone to truly belive that the world would be a better place without governments, say, but not have any inclination or feel any responsibility to try to bring that about. For example, it seems to me that many people on MeFi truly believe that this country would be a better place if this administration got immediately deported to a deserted island. However, you don't see any of them acting on that, or even feeling the responsibility to attempt something like that. To put it more generally, I'd say that it's fair to call someone an anarchist for believing in anarchist principles in the abstract, while at the same time believing that either it is not feasible to implement them at the moment, or that it's not his or her place to do so. I imagine that most people who call themselves anarchists are actually like this.

How much longer until the revolution? There was one last night.
"I see that this could not have ended bloodlessly and I would have had to exercise my power," Mr. Shevardnadze said, referring to his futile declaration of a state of emergency after he was forced by protesters to flee the Parliament house on Saturday.
Something tells me the Bush junta wouldnt be so sparing.
Also, I'm not buying the "anarchist" line. Where are all these anarchist bombings? Where are the anarchists handing out pamphlets?
I think it becomes clear that "anarchist" means someone the Bush admin doesn't like. And here I thought we were just godless commies or spineless bleeding hearts.
Maybe I'll just start my own database on pro-Bush people. Names, phone numbers, SSNs, habits, organizations they belong to, dirty laundry, etc. Go around with a clip board looking for names. Publish them left and right and then suddenly see the right take privacy, civil liberties, government transparency much more seriously a la Poindexter.
>the bombing of Waco, etc.
I would like to add Ruby Ridge to that list. The chapter about the Weaver family in Them: Adventures with Exremists is just heartbreaking.

Most anarchists that I know don't want to do anything illegal because they aren't interested in being martyrs.
Right. Also, I have been in five airports in the last week and no one stopped me for any extra search detail. My take on anarchism theory vs. practice is that there's a lot more to anarchism than the violent overthrow of governments and the general eschewing of oppressive power structures. There's direct action as a form of protest, there's mutual aid as a form of community building and sustaining, there's voluntary association as the way to form and maintain these community groups, etc etc.
Of course direct action can sometimes take the form of violence against property and the ideas of voluntary association could lead you to a heavily-armed separatist mountaintop villa someplace, but these are all extreme examples. On the other more positive side there is people helping each other in times of crisis [a la the east coast blackout and post 9/11] and sharing resources freely without thought to direct compensation, as well as non-hierarchical organizations like AA [on the one hand] or ELF [on the other] or the Internet [you guys know that one, right?]. These groups aren't all anarchist but they do highlight some anarchist organizing principles.
Anarchists aren't necessarily extremists any more than any other group who favors a radical curtailment of government such as Libertarians or a lot of conservative Republicans. It totally depends. Of course, more and more the savvy anarchists are finding other ways to describe their set of political beliefs to avoid setting people off with the dreaded a word.

Well put, jessamyn. Personally, I find any dogma to be stupid in and of itself, but they often seem to be founded on awesome principles. It's justr that no one guiding principle is really enough for a healthy community. That's what I meant about "trajectories" above. You can call me an anarchist in that I think that anarchist ideals should be added to our collective decision-making process, but I certainly wouldn't want to see anarchism chosen whole-hog by a society to the detriment of other important principles: democracy, constitutional liberalism, the scientific method, yada yada.
The meaning that the "a word" has taken on in public discourse portrays a school of thought that could only appeal to teenagers (no offense to any Mefites who are teenagers. You're probably smarter/less crazy that I was). Any adult understands that you can't abolish all order, and anyone who doesn't reject Hobbes' ideas on a fundamental level has to understand a real, pure power void would instantly be filled by forces likely more nefarious and less wrangleable than states. But the same is true of extremist free-market lovers, socialists, religious nuts, what have you.
In short, as a set of ideas, anarchism is as useful and worthy of social incorporation as any other set of ideas. As an ideology, it is as stupid and hurtful as any other ideology.
And I would personally be disapointed not to be on that fucking list.

I'm afraid that the religious concept of "morality" has fallen. And along with it the inhibitions against doing anything and everything in the name of absolute power.
Compare it with what would happen if the Taliban lost their religion, but kept their fanaticism. What restraints they had they no longer have.
What happens when fanatical Christians leaders of government stop being Christians *at all*, but continue to be fanatics?
Government without restraint. Science and technology stripped of ethics. Dehumanization is fine. No rules, no limits.

fotzepolitic: if it makes you feel any better, I'm a blonde-haired white male, with no relations to anybody with a muslim name, and I'm searched very regularly while flying. I've also had that fun extended questioning, and the 'please follow me this way' extra thorough backroom questioning.
I've tried dressing in my professional clothes (good suit), business casual, and full casual. I've made sure to buy my tickets in advance, to put them on long-established credit cards, and to always be enrolled in the frequent flyer programs. I'm always polite to the screeners, and I make sure never to carry anything that may be against the rules. Basically anything I could think of that might let them screen me ahead of time and realize 'hey, he's just some shmuck trying to make a living.'
Nothing works, I'm almost always stopped. I've even had the embarassing circumstance of having the plane delayed because they took so long searching me and asking me questions that everyone else had the chance to board while I was still at the gate.
I don't think the security singles out brown people as you assert, I think it's just designed to randomly annoy the living piss out of everyone, so we all feel "safer".

While Andrew Cooke can easily envision a marxist banker, Fernando Pessoa (1888-1935), possibly the most important Portuguese writer of the 20th century, wrote a short story named "The Anarchist Banker". Although the story is slightly tongue-in-cheek, it presents some interesting arguments in support of the idea that anarchism need not be revolutionary.

Magglio Ordóñez
(Redirected from Magglio Ordonez)
Magglio Ordonez Delgado
Bats Right, Throws Right
Height 6' 0", Weight 215 lb.
Debut August 29, 1997
Final Game September 27, 2011
Born January 28, 1974 in Caracas, Distrito Capital, Venezuela
BR page
Biographical Information[edit]
Magglio Ordonez was a good-hitting outfielder who had his best major league season in 2007, winning the American League batting title.
In the minors for six years (1992-97) he hit over .300 only once, in 1997, although he typically showed some moderate power. He was left unprotected by the Chicago White Sox after the 1996 season, and could have been selected by any team in the 1996 Rule V Draft. He was not, and soon became a star in Chicago.
He broke in during the 1997 season, became a regular in 1998, and was a key player on the division-winning 2000 team. After injuries in 2004, he signed as a free agent with the Detroit Tigers, thus missing the championship season of the 2005 Chicago White Sox, but playing on the 2006 Detroit Tigers team that went to the World Series.
Through 2005, none of the most similar players to Ordonez (according to the similarity scores method, and through age 31) were in the Hall of Fame, but they were a prominent group, including Wally Berger, Fred Lynn, Dave Parker, and Tony Oliva. His play in 2006 was consistent with his previous career, and the same four players remain high on the list of most similar players to Ordonez. After his excellent 2007 season, the similarity scores method showed a couple of Hall of Famers on his list, but they were not in the top four most similar players.
In 2001-03 his Adjusted OPS+ was between 135-152 each year. He has dropped off during 2004-06, with Adjusted OPS+ scores in the 110-113 range, due at least partly to injuries. In 2007, he recovered, with the best Adjusted OPS+ score in his career.
On August 12, 2007, Ordóñez hit two home runs in a 8-run second inning against Dallas Braden. He joined Al Kaline as the only members of the Detroit Tigers to hit two homers in a single frame. Ordonez holds the record for most hits in a season without hitting a triple. In 2007, he collected 216 hits - not one of which went for three bases.
Magglio continued to play full time for the Tigers in 2008 and 2009, and both years hit over .300. He hit 21 homers and drove in 103 runs the first season, but saw his power drop to 24 doubles and 9 homers in 2009, showing that age was catching up with him. In 2010, he hit .303, but was limited to 84 games. His power stroke recovered a bit, with 12 homers and 59 RBI, both numbers higher than what he had amassed in full-time play the following season. His progress was slowed by a broken ankle sustained in July, however, and the injury would continue to bother him the following season.
He continued to miss chunks of playing time in 2011, playing 92 games during which he went to bat 329 times. His .255 batting average was by far the worst of his career (he had hit .282 in 1998, his first full season), and his 10 doubles and 5 homers were very few for a corner infielder; he did finish the season on a high though, hitting .365 after August 13th, coinciding with the team's late-season surge. The Tigers won the AL Central title and he got to play in the postseason for the third time. In what was his last hurrah on the field, he went 5 for 11 with a double as the Tigers upset the New York Yankees in the ALDS, then drew a walk in 3 plate appearances in his only game in the 2011 ALCS facing the Texas Rangers. A free agent after the season, he found little interest for his services, and on March 26, 2012, with spring training winding down, he advised his fans that he was "very close to retirement". That came a few days after teammate and countryman Carlos Guillen had announced his own retirement from the Tigers, turning the page on an era that had seen the Bengals rise from worst team in baseball to a power in the AL Central. On June 3rd, Ordonez officially announced his retirement and was honored before that day's Tigers game against the Yankees.
In 2013, he announced his candidacy as mayor for Puerto la Cruz, Anzoátegui on the Socialist Party ticket. He became eligible for the Hall of Fame in 2017 but received only three votes and was dropped off the ballot.

We live in an entrepreneurial age, but that doesn't mean large companies are extinct. Technology expert Karl Rohde uncovers how large organizations are adapting to this brave new world, and what it means for their employees.

It took centuries to transition out of the industrial age and into the age of information, but only the blink of an eye for the social age to arrive.
Gone are the days when only industrial-sized companies could create value and exert influence. Today, the key word is connectivity. Seth Godin has gone all-in on that notion, describing this new era in terms of the "connection economy" – value is created by connecting buyers to sellers and by bringing passionate people together.
The adoption of co-creation at Starbucks, the creation of open marketplaces like Etsy and Shopify, and the emergence of peer communities like McAfee point to how new and established companies are experimenting with their business models.
This spells big opportunities for their workforces. The only catch is recognizing them. Here are several ways the social age is changing how organizations operate and what it means for their workers.
There's no such thing as long-term job security. The age-old promise of a lifelong career at one company is gone and has been for a while. IBM used to be famous for its promise of lifetime employment, but in 1992 this policy was scrapped. One year later some 60,000 employees were made redundant.
In his 2002 book, Free Agent Nation, Dan Pink links the rise of microbusiness, temp workers and soloists to the decline of job security. The bottom line is that career advancement is no longer your company's responsibility.
Globalization means skilled labour is all over the map. We used to think of the West as the domain of intellectual work and the East as the place to find cheap labour. If that ever was the case, it certainly isn't now.
Countries like China are investing heavily in education and it's paying off. By 2030, 30 percent of the world's college-educated workers will come from China, while only 5 percent will come from the U.S.
Businesses are outsourcing entire departments. The global financial crisis was a wakeup call for businesses, but for their employees, it was a nightmare: Cost-cutting measures led to dramatic reductions in the workforce.
But just because the recession is over, doesn't mean people should expect to get their jobs back. In his book, Choose Yourself, James Altucher contends that larger companies won't be restoring their employee numbers to pre-GFC levels.
Instead, thanks to cloud computing, the rise of outsourcing and pay-as-you-go models, it's now possible for companies like IBM, Google and Amazon to outsource services like email, web-hosting and data centres at a lower cost than if they operated their own departments.
The status quo won't cut it. Since World War II, a high standard of living has reached deep into the middle class and altered expectations. Today, it's up for debate whether the middle class continues to thrive, but purpose-driven businesses are on the rise, thanks in part to the transparency of the web.

What does this mean for big-business employees?
Time to get social. Compliance and obedience will no longer be rewarded in the workplace the way they once were. Eric Ries, author of The Lean Startup, says people working in large organizations should behave less like employees and more like entrepreneurs.
The map is gone. Career planning used to be straightforward, but now uncertainty prevails. A college education is no longer a guarantee of success. As the industrial age fades out and the social age creeps in, the rules as we know them no longer apply. We are just beginning to figure it all out.
There are two races: a race to the bottom and a race to the top. In other words, be the cheapest or be the best. Workers are increasingly being split into two camps: those who deliver mass, routine low-cost work and those who bring unique value through creativity, innovation and by delivering "wow" experiences.
The pressure to deliver more for less has never been greater, but that doesn't mean there isn't a demand for exceptional quality.

The good news is that the social web levels the playing field: Anyone can market themselves. You no longer need to be branded by the business you work for. You can stand out.
As we contemplate how these changes impact our work, we must figure out where we fit in. The question I believe we all face is whether we'll be employed in the next five years. Are you prepared for the social age?

Its different – the entire world. Companies that used to make their living calling strangers on the phone are now finding that nobody wants to pick up.

I recently had a Surgical Abortion at My Choice Medical Center. They were great there! I talked with the sweetest lady named Kelly a few days before I came in for the procedure. She talked to me about all the things I needed to know and what I would like to do. She was very informative about the different types of abortion procedures and made sure I knew how important it was for me to get on birth control after the the procedure. I came in for the abortion three days after and felt very nervous at first and didn't know what to expect. Kelly made me feel very comfortable and calm. We filled out some papers and did the ultrasound, the next thing you know, I was ready to have the abortion. The doctor came in and the procedure literally took five minutes and it was done! I couldn't believe it! I love My Choice Medical Center and I will definitely go back for regular papsmear exams whenever I need to!
No one wants to have an abortion. I was so anxious about everything, but knew it just wasn't the right time for me to start a family. I found out about My Choice through a girlfriend of mine. I didn't even know that she had had an abortion so even though it came as a suprise, I was thankful to have her support. She told me about the loving staff at my choice and was even there with me when I called their toll free number and couldn't believe someone actually picked up at 9:30 p.m. The woman was so warm and caring so I made an appointment for the next day first thing in the morning. I was seen right away as soon as I signed in. My girlfriend was able to come with me and be by my side every step of the way, and I felt completely enveloped by the support of everyone at the center. Dr. Joseph was so kind and supportive. The staff made sure that I had a ride home and offered to drive me home if I didn't but since my friend was with me I was OK. I am so grateful that my friend pointed me in the direction of 'My Choice' and would definitely recommend the center to any woman who finds herself in the same situation that I did. Peace and Love.
So, me and my girl just got into our first house. It is great, and we're happy, but we just aren't ready to start a family just yet. Maybe in a year or two, but with the job market the way it is, we just didn't think it was the right time. So fast forward to my girl missing her monthly. She freaked of course, but just two weeks before this one chick at work who let's EVERYONE know ALL her business, mentioned this spot in Van Nuys where she had gone. I tuned out most of what she was saying because it was close to lunch time and I knew In-N-Outs line was getting longer by the minute, but the truth is I was glad that she mentioned this spot. When my girl told me that she had made the choice to end the pregnency I totally supported her. After all like they say it is "her body." I can't lie. I was a little nervous especially with all the bull-sh*t religious propaganda that is out there about abortion. but when we got to the office we signed in and lemme tell you it was absolutely smooth sailing from then on out.
The doctor I think his name was Joseph was cooler than any doctor I have ever met. He was very cool with my girl and made sure she was totally comfortable and not nervous. I guess he could tell I was a little nervous, so he told me everything would be chill. . .not his words, but you get what I mean. . .and told me I was more than welcome to be in the room with my girl the whole time. They first made sure she was pregnant, did a real quick ultrasound thingiemabob, and then gave her some chill out and pain meds. We didn't even call before we came in! Everything went super smooth at this spot and the peeps couldn't have been more nice. of course I had a thousand and one questions and they were very patient and answered every one of them. We went back for a follow up and everything is perfect. The brunette lady doctor talked to us about birth control so now we are all over it! There are kids in our future for sure, but I'm glad that my girl made this choice for right now. This place rocks. No doubt.

Gallerist Proposes List of Most Influential People in Bushwick, Sparking Neighborhood Outrage
by Claire Voon January 12, 2016 January 24, 2016

On January 1, Bushwick gallery Fuchs Projects announced its plans to share a list of the "200 most influential people in Bushwick in 2016" — news met with fierce outcry from members of the local community troubled by what many regarded as an exclusive project ignorant of the effects of gentrification. Racist, sexist, and even homophobic comments filled the Facebook event page, causing gallery owner Rafael Fuchs to cancel the event, set to happen last Friday, at which attendees would receive a "first glimpse" of the list. According to Fuchs, however, the "Bushwick 200" was never intended to ever exist as a literal list but was, from its start, part of a broader, one-year-long art project to examine the neighborhood. It now remains on hold, with Fuchs refusing to surrender his original concept.
"This art project-in-progress was criticized and suppressed before being seen, and while it was in its preliminary stages of being created," Fuchs told Hyperallergic. "The intention of the project was to create a positive impact in the neighborhood without discrimination and to challenge and educate ourselves and others, including myself … I have some kind of ideas, but at this stage, I don't want to publicly state anything and all the parameters because it's too early. The idea was, it's the beginning of the year, let's have a toast, let's talk, let's start creating. We're going to execute it visually, with documents, with photographs of people, objects, documents, screen grabs."
Originally titled "'The Bushwick 200' most influential people in 2016 project-First glimpse," the January 8 event initially described that Fuchs Projects "has been compiling a comprehensive list of the 200 most influential people that are shaping the neighborhood of Bushwick to one of the most innovative places globally." (Burning Bushwick has a screenshot of the now-gone description.) The list would include categories from "the Arts" to "Restaurants and Bars"; "Health" to "Real Estate." That last category in particular led to an explosion of comments on the event page — now scrubbed clean as of last Tuesday — from those all too familiar with fighting displacement. Many took issue with the list's claim to focus on those who have been "transforming the conventional," and demanded to know Fuchs Projects' methodology in deeming someone influential enough to make the cut.
"You cannot claim to to know who transformed the conventional when you were not here to see who transformed the conventional in this community," artist and activist Anthony Rosado, who was born in Bushwick, told Hyperallergic. "To know who transformed the conventional is to know the history.
"What has he done for the community? What has his outreach been outside of social media?" Rosado said. "This is another sign of colonialism, a white man coming into our community and claiming the culture of my community." Fuchs is Israeli and perceived as white.

Rather than a list of names, the big reveal at Friday's event would have been of a sculpture — an object Fuchs described as "a metaphorical list" that would evolve as a collaborative work open to all. In an email to Hyperallergic, he sent a photograph of a close-up of the piece, which he said he had found in his hallway and planned to unveil from beneath a cloth in a ceremonial gesture. Fuchs refused to discuss the work further, saying people were supposed to see it at the event, but it appears to be a Classical Greek or Roman female figure covered in paint splatters; the photograph (pictured at the top of this post) features Fuchs' own digital additions of words and isolated letters.
"The sculpture was supposed to be all covered with different colors as the project progresses towards the end of 2016, by many people, many hands, many minds, many voices, without any discrimination," Fuchs said. "The different colors on the sculpture are representing different names and different fields of life … [the project] is beyond narrative, beyond articulation. It is inexplicable and transcendent."
In addition to the sculpture, the event would have displayed several works on paper, including the image Fuchs shared. He intended its unveiling to trigger conversation about colors and their significance, only saying, "You tell me. That's a discussion. What does this represent? People? Topics?"
To Rosado, however, the use of a Greco-Roman sculpture to visually represent and trace such a conversation about the neighborhood immediately signals negligence.
"If you're going to talk high-end [Eurocentric] canon of art, then no, that's not good for my community," he said. "I think he is doing more harm than help. That is one question I wish all gentrifiers would ask themselves: Am I doing more harm than help in this community?"
Fuchs says he "truly believes" his project was an initial step to helping the community; that "Bushwick 200" would have brought about "positive change," although he could not provide further information on what the specific changes he hoped would arise.
"I started seeing violence, people who are taking advantage of the situation here," he told Hyperallergic. "Prices of rent are going high, you know? People are getting displaced. I thought that it's a right time to start bringing all this things up and highlight Bushwick and show the good things that are happening here and see where we can go from that.
"Do we want to shine off innovation and stuff like this because of the worry that the value of the neighborhood is going to be higher? No, the other way around," he continued. "With this kind of information we're going to accumulate together, we can gain forces with all the people, the positive people that will do something positive for the neighborhood."
Although he refused to go into specifics of what the one-year project will involve, Fuchs hinted at open discussions where he and, he anticipates, attendees, would bring up names of such "positive people" and cross-reference the suggested names to see if certain individuals crop up multiple times. He emphasized that such specific names would come up only in conversation then be preserved in a "metaphorical" list — through art.
"Not in public, not in the final 'list,'" he said. "The final list could be the achievement of the collective project. It could be sculptures and evidences; images or screen grabs of what the list did in the media; its influence."
If the list is metaphorical, I asked, then why even have a number at all? Is 200 arbitrary?
"That's a good question," Fuchs simply said. "That's a conversation that I would have with people." He added that he initially started with the number 100 before realizing the pool was too small — and that the point of announcing a list was to grab people's attention.
"It's gonna raise brows, and people are going to ask exactly all the questions you ask, and I'm going to say, let's figure it out together," he said.
I asked what aspects of a person would rouse Fuchs personally to bring up his or her name in these talks — what kind of criteria he has in mind that makes someone "influential."
"I have no answers," he said, although he mentioned that someone in a deli "making the most innovative sandwiches" could be an option. "I'm not the one who decides why and who and all this. I'm just an artist who starts a project and brings in some many other voices to it. So it's evolving. I don't have the answers to everything. People should bring the answers."

To Rosado, the project is simply yet another product of an "artist-savior" who has a complex to save the community as well as a way for Fuchs Projects to promote itself. He noted that he is very much aware of the arts organizations actively involved in the Bushwick community and that he has never previously heard of Fuchs, who established the gallery in 2012. Fuchs had invited Rosado and other activists in a Facebook post to meet with him shortly after the event started stirring debate, and Rosado had expressed apprehension then. He still feels uncertain about speaking with Fuchs, who has not reached out since.
Whether or not Fuchs did originally intend for the list to be metaphorical and non-exclusive from the start, perhaps the whole fiasco stems from the very vagueness of his project. Although he voiced his desire to step back and gather people of all backgrounds to talk about the neighborhood, as the sole person spearheading such an endeavor, he still has to assume responsibility over its structure and share whatever ideas he has of shaping whatever conversations he hopes will occur in Fuchs Projects.
Rosado stressed that an art space should want to extend a hand to a community, but that it has to have an active, engaging role that considers the historical narrative of the neighborhood. Fuchs seems to be offering no more than a limp handshake of a project with idealistic visions, all presented under an ill-conceived title.
"If you're going to be a gallery coming into this space, then provide as much as you are provided with,"Rosado said. "If you want to live here, you have to do so much fucking work because I am doing so much fucking work. Don't move here and cause the erasure of my culture by your mere existence."

Rafael Fuchs says:
Anthony, you have NOT seen the object , yet, and you are jumping to a conclusion that it is not good for your community ???!!!!
Again, you are criticizing an idea, a project, and suppressing it, before seeing it and trying to understand it !!!
The photograph that was published is a SMALL portion of the object.
Why are you assuming that I'm going to talk about this or that ?
Maybe, would you have seen it you would actually think that it's a good idea. You were invited to express an opinion earlier in the process and declined, saying that you are apprehensive ! and now you continue to advocate whatever fits your agenda, and you are attempting to destroy an art project that could have made a change…a positive change. Maybe would you see it, it would be so appalling, that it's , actually, a good way to start having a conversation. This is an unfathomable object that, perhaps shows the wounds of the issue that need to healed, to be covered with medicine, or maybe to be destroyed, as a ceremonial act. Maybe if you'd see the rest of it, you'd say that it's interesting to work with.
For me it alludes more to the notion of the golden calf, if you care about my opinion, and it really effects me in a weird way. It spooks me out !
So, It was challenging for me to deal with a menacing unknown , and It is also intriguing for me to bring in a found object, (as a practice of the Dada movement,) that resonates something unclear.
I wish you have said that you would be curious to look at it, perhaps TOGETHER.
Instead, you are saying that it's NOT GOOD FOR YOUR COMMUNITY and you are suppressing the opportunity to engage with something that will dig deeper into the issue with open mind and heart.
There are two languages here: Art, and Social Activism.They can be interwoven. They should be.
But if you are trying to diminish the art part, the chance, the process, if you are demanding all the answers from the beginning, before even starting the project, (and that what you've been doing all along) what you are doing is : PROPAGANDA ! and I am not interested in it.
jvo says:
either something is missing, or there seems to be a lot of speculating about what the project is.
Monica Iancu says:
Yes. I agree. Too much theoretical not enough answers. Somewhat irresponsibly handled though if the artist is in fact interested in social activism. I don't think so though. His attitude is too passive. He wants the art to speak for itself. It already is.
Both sides have interesting points and neither speak the same language but why should they? Common ground is a myth. People have very different experiences in this world. The artist can not really expect others to come to the playing field and entertain discourse in a local culture whose discourse has often not been heard and which happens to have different culture about what disourse means and is to them. That is the arrogance on part of the artist that is causing the friction in the first place. Albeit aggression from the other side does not help communication but it does prove the point.
The very concept and structure of this project is troubling I agree. If you are truly trying engage and have this list be collectively determined, why create a hierarchical form and put a numver on it. This artist/gallerist cant even defend his concept and thinking. Intention is everything. The real criticism isn't even about art since nothing can be conclusively understood aboit this theoretical and unfinished concept, it's about creative and intellectual intention. There is no evidence that the artist can speak to to show that there was any attempt to engage the community or understand how this work might impact intended audience because the intended audience intended clearly not the neighborhood. If the artist is still standing by that then he either did not do his homework or is just stupid.
If this gallery's audience does not include in some way the locals how can it possibly have any positive contribution to the neighborhood?


After six years of planning, negotiations among multiple agencies and $1 million in construction and emergency repair work, San Jose on Saturday rededicated three miles of the Penitencia Creek Trail, a significant link in the 550-mile trail envisioned to ring the Bay Area along ridges.
"It's a milestone for us," said Mike Flaugher, the driving force in restoring the trail that runs through the Berryessa neighborhood. It borders Penitencia Creek from Toyon Avenue to Mabury Road south of Educational Park Drive. Planners expect to extend the trail one more mile toward the hills, connecting Alum Rock Park in the east to the Coyote Creek Trail in the west.
Saturday, scores of visitors celebrated the trail's renewal with a ribbon-cutting, bike rides, a bike-helmet giveaway and various walks — to watch birds, hear trail history and find bridges crossing the creek.
The trail was developed in the 1970s and ran for two miles, but suffered periodic closings due to erosion and flooding. In one section near Capitol Avenue, the creek bank had to be cut and moved to be stabilized.
Flaugher, a board member of the non-profit Bay Area Ridge Trail Council, which is spearheading and helping fund the Bay Area-wide trail, said the Penitencia trail cost about $1 million and required 3,000 volunteer hours to restore. The trail is a cooperative venture by the city of San Jose, the Santa Clara County Parks Department and the Santa Clara Valley Water District. With the Penitencia Creek light-rail station a 10-minute walk from the trail, and a potential BART station nearby, the trail is expected to serve as a key alternative commuter link, Flaugher said.


The government says it is fully committed to the implementation of the ease of doing business reforms as the country comes up with long term measures to turn around the economy.
This was said by Vice President Emmerson Munangagwa while officially opening the 2017 Zimbabwe International Trade Fair (ZITF) International Business Conference in Bulawayo this morning.
Cde Mnangagwa highlighted that government policies such as the Statutory Instrument 64 (SI64) of 2016, Special Economic Zones Act have offered local companies and industries an opportunity to manufacture products that were previously imported.
"SI64 offers local companies an opportunity to produce more, and I am happy that since its introduction, our import bill has been coming down from US$6,3 billion in 2015 to US$5 billion in 2016, while capacity utilisation increased from 34,3 percent in 2015 to 37,4 percent in 2016, as a result of the positive response by local industry to this government measure," said VP Mnangagwa.
On the Special Economic Zones policy, Cde Mnangagwa said the government has created a platform for joint venture projects between local, regional and international companies.
"Through the Special Economic Zones Bill which President Mugabe signed last year, the local economy will be stimulated and the law will facilitate linkages and innovation in the manufacturing sector," said Cde Mnangagwa, adding that the National Competitive Commission Bill has already passed through parliament and will soon be tabled before senate.
"The idea is to improve the country's competitiveness. This industrialisation interventions are in line with ZIMASSET, the SADC industrialisation and the AU industrialisation agenda," he added.
Vice President Mnangagwa also hailed the Presidential Input Scheme and the Command Agriculture Programme for a successful 2016-17 farming season.
"Looking forward, the government is committed to ensure that farmers are paid in time for delivered grain to the GMB so that they will be able to go back into their farms for the winter season. The government has so far secured funds for 1,3 million metric tonnes of grain deliveries to the Grain Marketing board," he said.
Cde Mnangagwa also reiterated the need for the country to prioritise irrigation to ensure food self sufficiency.
"We need 400 000ha of irrigated land to be able to produce food which is enough for the country. Currently, we have around 159 000 – 160 000 ha under irrigation. We also intend to extend the command programme to livestock, soya beans and wheat production through exploiting ground water sources. A command fisheries programme will also be launched in May," he said.
On the mining sector, Vice President Mnangagwa quoted President Robert Mugabe's independence speech in 1980 that: "Mining needs to play an important part in the development of the country," adding that US$100 million has been put aside to finance mining initiatives.
He then confirmed that President Mugabe will in May break the ground for the dualisation programme of the Beitbridge – Masvingo highway.
