slide.rule
slide.rule the slide-rule processes nothing; there are no processes. there are procedures. the calculator processes everything; there are filters. this is a fundamental distinction. an abacus processes nothing. it is not the distinction between analog and digital. it is the distinction between interior and exterior. the keyboard of a calculator or computer mediates processes and protocols. the beads of an abacus remain in situ. a slide-rule remains in situ. observe the abacus or slide-rule. the results are steady-state. the results are gained solely by human labor, i.e. movement of the beads or slide. the calculator uses an energy source, for example battery or solar power. a wind-up calculator stores energy. a calculator regulates its stored energy. the stored energy is controlled much like the escapement of a clock. the stored energy implements the unobserved steps or procedures tending towards a visible solution. even if every step were accounted for, for example listed in real time in a debugging program - the steps are unobserved. only signifiers, mediators, are observed. the ontology of the slide-rule however may be compared to the epistemology of the abacus or calculator. the abacus founders on ontology and the real. the calculator founders on ontology, the slide-rule on epistemology. the real is of the real. the digital must be manifest, within the analogic. the analogic is present. the ruptures of the abacus are problematized by the fuzzy movement of the beads. an electronic abacus, a digital abacus in other words, is internalized. this is the secret of the digital: its internalization is that of the body; its operations are literally neural, and its protocols are the shape-riding of synaptic signals. the digital has a life of its own; the analogic is inert, and in this sense, even the analogic body is inert. life is always the life of others. ii we look at the slide-rule or abacus. we watch the computer screen. we say 'look at this'; however if we are responsible, we say 'watch this.' we see a film, but watch television. however we look at the computer screen. we look at symptoms, 'look what's happening here.' we watched a film last night. did you see that show on television? look, see, watch - however, with the abacus or slide-rule, with the real, we look. why should we watch the slide-rule? it's not doing anything. watch what i can do with it. watch the carry-over of the abacus beads. we wait with expectation. i wait without expectation. the slide-rule waits for nothing, does not wait. the computer may be in standby or hibernation. the computer or calculator is the filtering and mediation of potential energy. the computer and calculator possess kinetic energy in the carrying- out, performance, of their duties. they are assigned duties. the assignments are flexible, flex-work. the slide-rule and abacus do not possess kinetic energy. or rather: they do not possess internal kinetic energy. for example, a stone may fall; a stone is. of course energy may be reassigned, as may waiting, looking, seeing, watching, interior and exterior. there may or may not be an observer. huang-po may have been such an observer. http://www.asondheim.org/hu.mov (nothing, addendum) like all addenda, familiar.
"North Country" - Important Lessons (fwd)
-- Forwarded message -- Date: Thu, 27 Oct 2005 23:49:31 -0400 (EDT) From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: "North Country" - Important Lessons "North Country:" Important Lessons By Laurie Beacham and Amber Hard October 27, 2005 by CommonDreams.org http://www.commondreams.org/views05/1027-32.htm Today we are appalled by the story told in "North Country," a film that chronicles the first class-action lawsuit brought for sexual harassment. The suit was led by Lois Jenson, a single mother trying to provide for her family, who became one of the first women to work at Minnesota's Eveleth Mines. The sexual harassment she and other women at Eveleth Mines suffered in the 1970s and '80s was, indeed, appalling. They endured lewd jokes, taunting and unwelcome physical contact. One female employee opened her locker to find sexual fluids on her personal belongings. Others experienced stalking and threatened assault outside of the workplace. Jenson filed a complaint with the union, supervisors and management at the plant, and then with the Minnesota Department of Human Rights. When Eveleth Taconite Co. refused to follow the state's request that it compensate Jenson for the harm she'd suffered, she went to court, fighting for fair treatment, a safe workplace and proper compensation. The case went to trial in federal court in St. Paul in 1992. In 1993, the women (three at that point) were granted the first-ever class-action status for a sexual harassment lawsuit, meaning that they were able to band together to hire an attorney and have their case heard. After a long and difficult battle, they won. Fifteen women settled with Eveleth Mines in 1998 for an undisclosed sum. Legal experts agree that because of the Eveleth case, for the first time employers across the country instituted policies to protect their employees from sexual harassment. Sexual harassment has not disappeared, but Jenson's legal case has made the workplace safer for women nationwide. Jenson's case was important for another reason. It showed how critical it is that we as Americans, even the most powerless, have the right to go to court when we have been harmed. And especially, it showed how vital the right to file class- action lawsuits can be, particularly for the preservation and enforcement of civil rights. Today these rights are under attack by America's biggest corporations. This year, for example, after enormous pressure from the world's biggest industries, Congress passed a law creating significant limits on class-action lawsuits. This legislation was strongly opposed by the civil rights community. Thomas Henderson, chief counsel and senior deputy for the Lawyers' Committee for Civil Rights, testified: "Class actions are essential to the enforcement of the nation's civil rights laws. They are vitally important and are often the only means by which persons can challenge and obtain relief from systemic discrimination." Not only did the complaints of Henderson and other civil rights leaders fall on deaf ears. But it now turns out that weakening the class-action system was only Step 1 for big business interests. Now they are seeking across-the-board limits on the rights of injured Americans to seek justice in our courts, making it harder to hold corporate wrongdoers accountable for the harm they cause. The fight to protect the civil justice system from these attacks goes on in state legislatures every day. So as you head to the movies to see "North County," be grateful to Jenson and her co-workers for standing up to corporate abuse, and for using the legal system to fight it, making the workplace safer for you, your sisters, your mothers and your daughters. But remember that the fight isn't over. All sorts of laws and policies that protect us are now at risk because big business wants to weaken or destroy our civil justice system. We need to protect this fundamental aspect of American democracy, where the poorest and most vulnerable can challenge the largest corporation and hold it responsible for causing harm. We owe it to Jenson and the other women at Eveleth Mines who stood with her in court all those years.

WWF: The Amazon Needs Your Help Today!
The Amazing Amazon... Dear Alan, A few months ago we asked you, our dedicated members, to help us protect the amazing Amazon Rainforest. We received a fantastic outpouring of support for our efforts to preserve the Amazon, and we wanted to let you know some of the recent successes we have achieved in this area: Several species of macaws make their homes in the Amazon. WWF-Canon / Michel ROGGO The Amazon Region Protected Areas (ARPA) Program is the world's most ambitious tropical forest protected area system. This a 10-year, $400-million effort, by World Wildlife Fund and its partners, will protect a series of Amazonian parks that, together, are the size of California. We are already seeing results as the government of Brazil created the 15,000 square mile Tumucumaque Mountains National Park -- the world's largest tropical forest national park. WWF worked with the governemnt of Peru to create the Alto Purús Reserved Zone, which not only safeguards rare animals such as the jaguar, harpy eagle, scarlet macaw, giant river otter and black spider monkey, but it also increases land rights protection for indigenous peoples. One group has chosen to avoid all contact with the outside world in order to safeguard its centuries-old culture. With the help of WWF's scientific research, design advice and bringing stakeholders together, another 9.4 million acres in the heart of the Brazillian Amazon was protected earlier this year. That is an area nearly the size of Massachusetts! But we STILL need your help to protect this fabulous forest! Despite these amazing strides forward, the natural heritage of the Amazon is still extremely threatened. Devestating deforestation practices -- like rampant illegal logging and clearing for cropland -- are claiming much of the Amazon. If this continues, it spells disaster for not only for the region's plants and animals, but also for its climate, which depends in large part on evapo-transpiration from its large expanse of forest. WWF has pledged its support to help protect the Amazon for years to come. You still have the opportunity to help us with YOUR pledge of support for the Amazon today. We need your help in order to ensure the long-term preservation of the Amazon. When you pledge your support of $50 or more to help WWF protect the Amazon, we'll ship you this free limited-edition GUND® Frog Puppet. In no way does this free gift express how much we appreciate your support to help protect the Amazon, but we hope you enjoy it as a symbolic gesture of your dedication to protect this important habitat. Thank you in advance for your support. Sincerely, Bruce Harris Director of Membership P.S. Don't forget - donate $50 today and we will send you this limited-edition frog puppet as a FREE gift to you for your generous support for the Amazon. Free Frog Puppet This FREE limited-edition GUND® frog puppet is yours with a $50 donation! More FREE gifts available when you pledge your support to help WWF protect the Amazon! Did You Know... T

something curious
have been reading Hakim Bey's book Gothick Institutions for the last couple of days, and was fascinated, blown away really, by the entirety of it. and then something curious just now. i was reading an article called _The Language of Birds: Some Notes on Chance and Divination_ by Dale Pendell and I ran across something quite remarkable or maybe perhaps only slightly remarkable, but interesting to me, and perhaps to the group. There's some discussion of a Linnaean Hermeticism within the book in the section on Erasmus Darwin so I found this quite appropriate.
