"Stefan Zweig and World War I"
Lobby of Reed Library
Organized by the grad students in ENGL 514
"Dear Mister Zweig: A few years ago, in a moment of doubt, I took heart and sent out a selection of my poems, whose words were to determine my fate: whether I would continue working on them or whether I would follow my surroundings and throw all mental activities aside and adopt a reasonable profession. I sent these poems to you." Thus wrote Erich Maria Remarque in 1929 letter to Stefan Zweig. His groundbreaking novel about World War I, All Quiet on the Western Front, had just been published to great international acclaim; and the letter attests to the pervasive influence played by Zweig over some of the greatest European writers of the early twentieth century.
The hand-written letter by Remarque, as well as the poems he sent to Zweig, are among a handful of archival items from Fredonia's renowned Stefan Zweig Collection that will be on display in the exhibit, "Stefan Zweig and World War I," that is to officially open this Thursday Oct 16 at 3 pm in the lobby of Reed Library. The opening, which will be followed by a reception, is free and open to the public at large.
Marking this year's centennial of the outbreak of World War I, the exhibit offers a for Western New York unique insight into the causes that led to the war, and how it was experienced by the European artists and writers of the era. Curated by the English graduate students in Prof. Birger Vanwesenbeeck's "Remembering the Great War" course, the exhibit tells the story of Zweig's dramatic transformation from his initial employment as a propagandist in the Austrian war archive towards his pacifism later in the war. Among the items to be displayed are hand-written letters by James Joyce and Frans Masereel; some of Zweig's manuscripts and typescripts; as well as a translation of Zweig's 1915 war poem "Der Krüppel" ("The Cripple") that, until now, had been unavailable to English readers.
The opening of the exhibit, which will be on display in Reed Library through December 15, will mark the official kick-off for a whole week of Zweig-related activities on the Fredonia campus that will include a staged reading of the play The Last Days of Stefan Zweig; and a keynote lecture on Zweig by French novelist Laurent Seksik.

Zweig at Fredonia, 2014
3rd Biannual Stefan Zweig Lecture
by French novelist Laurent Seksik
Rosch Recital Hall
The life and works of the Austrian-Jewish writer Stefan Zweig (1881-1942) offer a unique insight into the artistic and political turbulence of the first half of the twentieth century. A self-styled humanist and pacifist as well as a longtime advocate for European unification, Zweig was deeply affected by the carnage of World War I and subsequently sought to redeem its trauma through artistic-cultural solidarity. In the 1920s the popularity of his stories and his biographies of such historical figures as Erasmus and Marie-Antoinette made him, according to one study published at the time, the most translated author in the world. A decade later his books would be burned by the Nazis. Forced into exile—like so many other Austrian and European Jews—Zweig moved to Petrópolis, Brazil where, horrified by the carnage of yet another war ravaging his beloved European soil, he committed suicide together with his second wife, Lotte.
The manuscripts, correspondences and personal items of Fredonia's Stefan Zweig Collection offer a unique insight into the many aspects of this extraordinary life and its literary output. This internationally renowned collection, which first came to Fredonia thanks to the efforts of the late Robert Rie, a longtime friend of Zweig's and former Professor of Modern Languages at Fredonia, has long been a preferred lending place for museums in Europe who have eagerly displayed some of its items in their exhibits over the years, including most recently in Berlin and Vienna. A video about Fredonia's Zweig Collection may be accessed at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rj42TCk6pRY
On Wednesday Oct 22 French author Laurent Seksik will deliver the 3rd Biannual Stefan Zweig Lecture in Rosch Recital Hall at 6 pm. Seksik, who is also a practicing physician, is the author of Les Derniers Jours de Stefan Zweig (translated in English as The Last Days), a bestselling novel about the final months of Zweig and his second wife Lotte who committed suicide in Brazil in 1942. The novel, which was staged as a theaterproduction in Paris in 2012 and, more recently, adapted into a comic book, has been translated into fifteen languages. Seksik's lecture will be
entitled, "The Physician as Writer: How Stefan Zweig Changed My Life." His lecture will be free and open to the public at large. The Biannual Stefan Zweig Lecture series celebrates the legacy and works of Fredonia's world-renowned Stefan Zweig Collection. For more on this collection, please go to

"Layers of Erasure: Emily Dickinson and the Problem of Recovery"
Wednesday, April 23rd 7:30 pm at the 1891 Opera House
Co-sponsored by Reed Library, The Big Read, the Mary Louise White Fund, and the SUNY Fredonia Department of English.
Despite our best efforts, Emily Dickinson remains the only nineteenth-century American woman poet to be taught in high schools and colleges as well as read by a general and robust audience. more...
In this talk I describe the ways in which women's poetry was everywhere in the nineteenth century and explore a new explanation for its erasure from literary history. By reading this poetry with knowledge of the cultural and literary conventions that shaped it and circulated it, I argue for a rethinking of our method of recovery – from one that takes its cues from our 21st-century desires to one that listens to the poetry itself.

Big Read Library Discussion
Thursday April 24th 6:30pm
Patterson Library, Westfield, NY
"'Just How the Fingers Hurried': Emily Dickinson and Poetry Making"
One way to gain access to a seemingly impenetrable writer's work is to ask how she went about making that work. Where did she sit, did she use a pencil or a pen, what kind of paper did she write on? more...
Did she draft and draft until she got it just so, or did the works we know today come out fully formed? What had she read in the newspaper that morning, or dreamt the previous evening? Who was having an argument within earshot? While these might seem like biographical and historical questions of little importance, investigating them can often get us reading poetry from the inside out: not as nuts to crack, but as the creations of real people in real time. In this talk/discussion, I will explore how reading Emily Dickinson's poems with such questions (if not, always, answers) in mind gives us new access to her work. See the full Big Read event calendar for more details about events planned throughout the local community.

The Second Biannual Stefan Zweig Lecture
3/19: Rosch Recital Hall at 7:30 pm Robert Kelz (Assistant Professor of German at the University of Memphis): lecture will focus on a little known aspect of Zweig's 1936 visit to Buenos Aires: his address to the pupils (most of them Jewish émigré children from the Third Reich) of the Pestalozzi school, the only German language school in Argentina not to have fallen under the spell of Nazi ideology. Drawing in part on personal interviews that Kelz conducted with some of the former pupils of the Pestalozzi school, his lecture will offer a unique insight into the long-lasting (!) impact of a creative writer in the classroom and into what Kelz calls a "pedagogy of the persecuted." more info and here

Video: Texas teen tickets officer
Annie James, 14, got upset when she spotted a patrol car parked on a curb that was painted red
By Jennifer Bauer
Click 2 Houston
BAYTOWN, Texas — Annie James, 14, lives at the Bay Oaks Apartment complex. She got upset when she spotted a patrol car parked on a curb that was painted red and was designated as a "no parking" zone. Officer Tommy King, with the Baytown Police Department, patrols the apartment complex and keeps the criminals away. On this particular day, he parked his car next to the leasing office.
"I came to get my car and I saw a piece of paper on my windshield," King said. "I took it off, read it and started laughing."
James asked the officer to pay a $10 fine to the manager. At that moment he decided he was going to pay up, but in a better way. He bought James a $20 gift card to Toys "R" Us. The store matched his contribution and put in $20, too.

The final of this year's Copa Del Rey (Saturday, 3:30 p.m. ET, ESPN2) sees a meeting of the two most successful sides in the history of the competition.
It may come as something of a surprise to learn of Athletic Bilbao's pedigree in the tournament, yet the Basques have a long and proud cup tradition which has seen them lift the trophy on 23 occasions, more than Real Madrid, and only behind Barcelona who have won it 26 times.
The caveat to that fact, of course, is that Athletic has not won a cup final since 1984, and they are understandably long shots against a Barcelona side that is threatening to sweep aside all before them this season.
Luis Enrique's men clinched the league title in relatively comfortable fashion with 12 wins and two draws in their final 14 matches, and their progress to the final to the Champions League was also eye catching. Central to their success in both of those tournaments has been the return to form of Lionel Messi.
After an underwhelming 2013-14 season by his elevated standards, the Argentine is back to his very best, and that is one of the main reasons why we find the Blaugrana at -475 odds to win at William Hill U.S. Athletic can be backed at 10-to-1, with the draw offered at +575.
Soccer betting: Goal.com hub | FA Cup final | Barca vs. Juve
While the game will be played at Barcelona's Camp Nou, it will be far from a home match for the Catalans with 45,000 traveling Basques ensuring a magnificent atmosphere.
The last time Ernesto Valverde's men visited the stadium was back in September for a game which was goalless until the 79th minute before two late strikes from Barca earned them the points.
Meanwhile, the most recent meeting between the two sides saw Barcelona win an entertaining encounter at San Mames 5-2 in February, and perhaps that result should point us in the right direction in terms of investment.
Barcelona should win this final although, Athletic has enough about them to score. The side from Bilbao has scored in 15 of its last 18 matches and put four past Villarreal on the final day of the season.
'Both teams to score' is offered at-137.50, but for a more appealing price, combining that selection with a Barcelona victory at +140 makes sense. Furthermore, three out of the Catalans' last four wins in this fixture have come without keeping a clean sheet, which reinforces this selection.
While this prop is not offered in Las Vegas, Nevada-based bettors could consider going OVER 3.5 total goals for +115.
Goal.com best bet: Barcelona to win and both teams to score for at 7-to-5 odds (+140)
This story has been edited since its original story on Goal.com to reflect the odds offered in Las Vegas, where applicable.

Sean Ridgeley - Tuesday, April 27, 2010
Seeking up to $625 million in damages If the 27 now ex-employees weren't enough for you, members of Infinity Ward have filed a lawsuit against Activision for those withheld bonuses we've mentioned before, among other matters. Accoring to previous reports and now the lawsuit, Activision is witholding a large portion of the bonuses the employees depend on once a game is released, the idea being to keep them around as other employees quit and the stakes get higher for any remaining. We've already heard rumors Activision wants the developers to sign to a new project or projects before forking over the dough. The suit describes this activity as a "calculated, purposeful and malicious decision" by Activision, and "an attempt to force employees of Infinity Ward to continue to work at a job that many of them did not want just so Activision could force them to complete the development, production and delivery of Modern Warfare 3." It later says the employees are "kept hostage." This is now the second lawsuit against Activision stemming from the recent conflict -- the first is from Infinity Ward and recently Respawn Entertainment co-founders Jason West and Vince Zampella, and covers similar ground. Calling themselves the "Infinity Ward Employee Group" (IWEG) and consisting of many employees which have already been named to have quit (and some that haven't) , they're alleging breach of contract, breach of the implied convenant of good faith and fair dealing, violation of California labor code, and more items. 38 members of the team (former or current) are involved in the suit, the goal of which is to obtain $75 million to $125 million in compensatory damages, and another $75 to $500m in punitive damages. Note $28 million has been paid, but according to the suit, $54 million is still owed, though they want more, given the circumstances. Keep in mind the game has generated well over one billion dollars since release. Additional unpaid money comes from restricted stock purchased from Activision the publisher "promised" after the sales numbers came in would increase in value (it was lost instead). The IWEG states the only condition for said bonuses was to deliver Modern Warfare 2 on time, which occurred. Here's a particularly interesting bit: when employees are "terminated", Activision is required to pay all money owed, however the company has not done this. Activision's response? Still staunch. "[We] believe the action is without merit," said a company spokesperson. "Activision retains the discretion to determine the amount and the schedule of bonus payments for MW2 and has acted consistent with its rights and the law at all times. We look forward to getting judicial confirmation that our position is right."

Negative: 1 out of 13
Jun 12, 2012Traps, gets plenty of mileage from those elements [sun, hot dogs, and babes by the pool], but it shoots them through with just enough worry and weary resignation to land them a notch above the typical empty-calorie summer jams.
MagnetJun 13, 2012Most of Traps keeps the toes a-tapping with happily-sung, sad-bastard references to bygone lovers, running out of weed and coming of quarter-age. [No.88 p.57]
Jun 28, 2012Definitely a turn-it-up album to add to your summertime playlist.
Aug 6, 2012With the recent break up of Girls, there is certainly an opportunity for Jaill to take the mantle of derivative, vintage pop rock, but they are not quite there yet.
Jun 13, 2012On the whole, Traps is definitely worth a listen, but it's clear that the band can do much better.
Jun 18, 2012This album is so soaked in self-pity that a track called "Madness" seems like a given. "Stone Froze Mascot" is a bad metaphor in and of itself - more self-pity, more of the same. Sound-wise, the album could use work, too.

The prospect of retirement doesn't just signal the end of a career; it offers the chance to recalibrate and re-prioritize in life.
Galerie Kreo is one of the most unique spaces I know of for design. The gallery, run by Didier and Clémence Krzentowski, sees itself as a 'research laboratory,' commissioning and displaying one-off and limited-edition pieces by the likes of Ronan and Erwan Bouroullec, Pierre Charpin, Hella Jongerius, Jasper Morrison, and Martin Szekely. When I was in Paris earlier this year I caught their wonderful exhibition of work by L'ECAL students and teachers, "A New Generation of Lights." Their current show is "Matières à réflexion," or "Materials for Consideration," and it looks like a good one. It's been extended till May 15, so if you can, check it out in person. If not, here's a virtual sampling of the works on view.

According to the New York Times this morning, negotiations between security giant Symantec and backup/storage giant Veritas that have lasted for more than a month are almost complete.
If successful, they would lead to "the announcement of a possible deal as early as this week," says the paper.
The NYT cited "executives close to the negotiations" as their source.
With 40% of the market for backup and archiving software, Veritas would bring Symantec just what it needs to round out its Norton line of security and maintenance products and turn the combined product lines into a one-stop computer software shop that would rival all-comers.
Veritas revenues last year were $1.75 billion, and its market cap is $10.6 billion.

Give Veritas some time to respond to this offer. Its only 7:10 in California this morning and they are just getting ready for their first cup of coffee. I suspect there will be many more developments in the next several days.

The centerpiece of the facility is a noise-isolated production studio. A deep cut through the concrete floor around the entire studio acoustically decouples it from traffic in the busy corridors on three sides. Four Ikegami HL-45AW digital triax cameras can be connected to the control room from any of four broadcast service panels (BSPs) located on different walls of the studio. Using a TSG custom triax patch panel that unites camera trunks from around the building, the signals connect to a Thomson Grass Valley Zodiac switcher. The 2.5M/E switcher has a Dveous/MX dual twin effects package. The team selected Pinnacle FXDeko II and Thunder for CG and still store, and an Ultimate II for chroma key effects.
The production control room has a traditional two-tier configuration, with the technical deck closest to the monitor wall and the producer's deck behind. In order maintain contact in fast-turnaround situations, the audio operator is located at the far end of the rear production deck. They chose a Harrison Pro950-EX analog broadcast console as the audio mixer. The audio accessory rack was built into the wall behind the operator, giving arm's length access. A sound-treated door sealed the back of the accessory rack.
Video is distributed over a component serial digital interface on Sony DVCAM 1800's record/play DV tape machines. Video trunks extend to auxiliary locations in the large complex without concern for equalization for long runs. The facility also features three nonlinear Avid edit rooms and Media Composer Adrenaline systems. An Avid Unity LANshare EX ties the systems together and allows editors to access clips from a central server.
A 500-seat room serves as a theater or as a live stage auditorium. There are also two completely remote-controlled Ikegami HC-250 cameras on Vinten robotic heads spaced about 20ft apart at the rear of the room. These cameras' pan, tilt, zoom and focus functions are at the hand of the technical director back in the control room. In addition, three more BSP locations were provided for up to six cameras that can be placed at the front, back or sides of the auditorium.
An isolated machine room houses most of the equipment mainframes. This separates noisy fans and whirling disc drives from the operating areas where critical listening and communications occur between staff members.
