Belinda Kong
Asian American literature is dominated by voices of youth: the child narrator and the bildungsroman genre have long been used by writers to tell not only personal coming-of-age stories but also that of Asian America itself, as a relative newcomer into the American nation-state and its cultural landscape. Focuses instead on the latecoming figure of the aged narrator in recent Asian American fiction, who constellates themes of dislocation and reclamation, memory, and the body rather than those of maturation and heritage. Explores old age as a vehicle for engaging contemporary issues of globalization and diaspora; historical trauma and cultural memory; life and biopolitics. Examines these works within the paradigm of transnational Asian America, which goes beyond the United States as geographical frame to shed light on the new diasporic identities and cultural politics emerging from twentieth-century global transits.
Belinda Kong
Examines how Asia has been represented by America and Europe and how Asian authors have responded. Draws from a wide archive of literature, theory, film, and mass culture from mid-nineteenth century to the present. Not a survey: focus on case studies that explore historical exemplars of as well as conceptual alternatives to the critical model of orientalism, which regards western depictions of Asia as necessarily reflecting the culture of empire. Issues include US racial discourses of exoticism and the yellow peril; western modernist and postmodern appropriations of "oriental" cultures for self-critiques; and strategies of hybridity, self-orientalism, and occidentalism by Asian and Asian diasporic writers and filmmakers. Possible works by Edward Said, Pierre Loti, Bret Harte, Jack London, Winnifred Eaton, David Henry Hwang, Ezra Pound, Italo Calvino, Roland Barthes, Gayatri Spivak, Rey Chow, J. G. Ballard, Kazuo Ishiguro, Amitav Ghosh, Haruki Murakami, Bei Dao, Shan Sa, Su Tong, Ang Lee, Wong Kar-wai, and Stephen Chow.

The Parkhead side succumbed to a late Oscar Cardozo goal in the Stadium of Light to see their dismal group stage record extended to 14 games without a win outside Glasgow.
Strachan said: "A point against Benfica would have been really excellent but we are definitely not out of it, you never know what can happen. We qualified with nine points last season and at the moment the teams in the group have six, six, three and three."
The Scottish champions were subject to a second-half mauling, with Cardozo twice hitting the woodwork and being denied by at least one world-class save from Hoops keeper Artur Boruc.
But in the 86th minute, as the Portuguese club refused to accept one point, Cardozo beat the offside trap to knock the ball past Boruc. Celtic are bottom of the table with Benfica on three points with AC Milan and Shakhtar Donetsk on six points at the top.
And Strachan added: "It's not easy to take, but we have taken bigger blows in the past and there is no doubt there will be bigger blows in the future. There was plenty of application and heart and on that we deserved a point but it was just tiredness that beat us in the end."
Strachan explained his surprise decision to rest talismanic midfielder Shunsuke Nakamura and drop in-form Scott McDonald to give Chris Killen his first Champions League start was with one eye on retaining the Clydesdale Bank Premier League.
He said: "It's a case of having just two fit strikers at the club at the moment. Scott is in terrific form but he has played all the games so it's a case of looking at the squad.
"As for Nakamura, I'm the manager and I can do that sort of thing. It's very unfair for me to tell you why I leave players out but it wasn't for his lack of ability or heart.
"But as a manager you sometimes have to made decisions and they understand where I am coming from. My priority is, as I've already said, is to win the Scottish league. If I can do very well in the Champions League then that would be exceptional but my priority is to win the SPL."

Ode to Honesty
In life we are taught to live
without the greatest inspiration
that could teach us how to truly exist
So it's no wonder we are born to die
Factions are created just to welcome
the end of the world even if it never comes
But then, before you judge me
isn't that what religion prepares us for?
I hope I die before I realize
how futile life has become
Doomsday, Armageddon, End of Days
if this is the culmination of everything
Then why foster relationships
if they are going to end?
Civilization has just been one huge joke
at the expense at those living within it
Though we will die with no legacy
who can remember those who really matter?
I hope I die before I realize
how futile life has become
As one in six billion with no meaning
Does anything I achieve really mean anything?
Hell please sweep the earth away
I don't want to live in this world anymore

Dr Bapel Royburman was released last night after being held prisoner for five hours by the woman, who was armed with a gun, at the surgery in Edmonton, north London. The woman gave herself up to police.
The woman splashed petrol around the surgery before producing a lighter and threatening to set fire to the fuel. Armed police surrounded the surgery, but after four hours of talks Detective Chief Superintendent Peter Kruger, Scotland Yard's most experienced negotiator, persuaded her to release her hostage unharmed.
The woman was demanding a review of the circumstances in which her son died, aged 19, in 1986. She was not happy with the verdict at the inquest into his death.
She arrived at the surgery carrying a petrol can and a firearm, both concealed, at about 1.30pm.
Superintendent Bob Wareing, of Edmonton police, said: 'She was asking for the authorities to review the circumstances of her son's death. The surgery was involved although the actual doctor whom she was holding hostage was not.
'I am very pleased that the siege has been brought to this peaceful conclusion.'
He refused to say how the woman's son died. He added: 'We understand the woman has not recovered from depression.'
Dr Royburman, 57, from Edmonton, looked exhausted as she was led away by police officers. She has been a partner at the surgery for several years.

A frequent question I receive is what does it cost to actually obtain an issued patent, start to finish. The answer depends on the complexity of the subject matter, the number of inventive concepts disclosed and claimed, the novelty of the invention, and the number and severity of office actions received by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office.
The initial costs for preparing a patent application and getting a patent application on file are easier to estimate and will be the only costs incurred for many years. This is the fee that most attorneys quote to potential clients. However, I feel that it is important that potential clients be aware of the typical start-to-finish costs for obtaining a U.S. patent, from filing to issuance.
The average legal fees for preparing and filing a regular application charged by U.S. patent attorneys across the U.S. to prepare a patent application of minimum complexity (10 page specification, 10 claims) was $7879 according to a survey published in 2009. Of course, very few patent applications are this simple. This should be considered a minimum average fee for a very simple mechanical invention. For a relatively complex biotechnology or chemical patent application, the average fee for preparing and filing was $12,313. For a relatively complex mechanical patent application, the average fee was $9,699. For a relatively complex electrical or computer patent application, the average fee was $13,227.
In addition to attorney fees, there will be government fees. Government fees can be found at www.uspto.gov and go up every year. The government fees for filing will depend mostly on the number of claims filed and the size of the application and will include a basic fee, a search fee, and an examination fee, all of which must be paid at the time of filing. If there is an assignment from an individual to a company, there will also be a charge for that, about $150 of legal fees, plus government fees. There will also be a charge of about $150 for submitting an information disclosure statement of known prior art to the government. The fee for formal drawings is about $150 per page. I typically require an advance fee of the patent application cost prior to commencing work, with the government fee, drawing fee, assignment fee, and information disclosure statement fee due at completion.
If an inventor or applicant requires multiple revision and review cycles, this will increase fees dramatically. This is particularly true if there are a large number of inventors who review and provide separate comments and feedback. A lead inventor should be appointed to obtain and combine comments from all inventors and to make sure inventors do not disagree with each other. Changing an invention while the application is being drafted can cause fees to double. These fees are for preparing and filing only, and in the U.S. only.
Office Actions will be received periodically from the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office. In a negotiation session, the patent office tries to limit applicants very specifically to what they have invented, while the Firm tries to argue for protection of a wide range of alternatives. The first Office Action is almost always a rejection, and is usually received 18 months or more after the application is filed. There are usually no government fees for filing the first response. A response is typically prepared by a firm within 3 months of receipt of the first Office Action. The average fee for responding to an Office Action of minimal complexity (rare) was $2,322 according to the survey published in 2009. For a relatively complex biotechnology or chemical case, the average fee for responding to an Office Action was $3,819. For a relatively complex mechanical case, the average fee for responding to an Office Action was $3,135. For a relatively complex electrical or computer response, the average fee was $5,021
After a response is filed, second and subsequent Office Actions are typically received from the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office within about 6 months of filing of a response. Typically, at least three responses to Office Actions will be required to put an application in condition for allowance with reasonable claim scope. Frequently, the second Office Action is Final, and a "Request for Continuation" application involving another government filing fee, and one or two more responses to Office Actions is required to obtain reasonable claim scope or any allowance at all. In other words, multiply the response fee above, based on the technology, by about three and add one government fee to determine approximate minimum prosecution costs.
So for a complex electrical or computer case, assume that you will have at least $5021x3, plus a Request for Continued Examination government fee, plus the government issue fee, in prosecution costs before receiving a Notice of Allowance.
Occasionally, it may be advisable to appeal a rejection to the Board of Interferences and Patent Appeals in order to have an issue considered by someone other than the Examiner. The average legal fees for preparing a written appeal brief were $5,547 without oral argument. There are additional government fees for filing a notice of appeal and for filing an appeal brief.
If all goes well, and no appeal is required, a patent will issue in about three to four years after the application was filed. Upon allowance of a patent, there will be a government issue fee and publication fee, and a firm will charge a service fee of about $860 to handle payment of the issue fee and filing of the appropriate documents.
In summary, it is recommended that clients have a budget of about $25,000-$35,000 to obtain a patent, start-to-finish. However, it should be noted that, after filing, it may be several years before further expenses are incurred. If a difficult examiner is drawn or if unexpected highly relevant prior art is located by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office, expenses may be higher, and possibly significantly higher. But applicants may abandon the proceedings at any step along the way.
All time spent on behalf of an applicant not directly related to preparation of a patent application, such as time required for responding to questions or other counseling, time responding to mistakes made by the government, time for considering or responding to phone calls, faxes or e-mails whether by client, foreign associates, or the government, will typically be billed to the client on an hourly basis. This time may cause a firm to exceed a quote. Applicants should seek clarification prior to requesting a service that may be outside the scope of patent application preparation work.
To maintain each U.S. patent in force for its full term, government maintenance fees will be due three and a half, seven and a half, and eleven and a half years after the patent issues. Applicants can expect these government fees to increase by the time they will need to be paid. Applicants should watch these dates or hire a service provider (an "annuity service") to watch these dates and pay these fees. The maintenance fees cannot be paid in advance.
Please send an email to: with the following information, or use the contact form:
Note that no attorney-client relationship exists until an advance fee is paid and a retainer agreement is signed.

Because painting and repairing the 48-year-old, 200,000-gallon water tank would have cost a couple hundred thousand dollars, the Henry County Water District decided to install a new million-gallon tank, according to Director Jimmy Simpson.
The old water tower, tall enough to loom over the trees on stilt-like legs on a rise just off U.S. 42 in Trimble County, obviously could use a fresh coat of paint, and Simpson said that goes inside and out.

We reached the Passo Sella (Sella Pass), about 6,600 feet elevation where the mountainside had a layer of fresh snow. The view was not there. Cold and snowing.

Part 39 - Death and Rebirth, Part 2Mature
Viewed from the heavens, the ruins of Kairut City appeared like nothing more than a crater dug into the planet, with a twisting dust cloud at the core. Centered deep within this tempest, the lone warrior awoke.
She was neither above, below, nor equal to those who could only exist beneath her perseverance. She neither hated her enemies nor loved her allies, and she asked for no allegiance.
The first thing she saw was the dust cloud twisting around her. She wasn't quite fully conscious, not yet. Her memories were still recollecting, new thought-patterns still connecting.
Shielding her eyes against the dust, she ventured beyond the dust cloud toward the only buildings that remained. A blast of jaundiced sunlight seared her eyes, causing her to shy away, but the buildings resolved from the scorching brilliance. They sat like broken tombstones against the wasteland, their supports forced to lean away from the center of a terrible blast.
The first vision came to her then, sudden and furious: entombed within a burning cryopod, the deafening roar of atmosphere. She remembered the pod disintegrating around her, a period of blindness, followed by escape from the smoldering debris. The images flashed in her waking consciousness, then disappeared as quickly as they came.
The last scraps of her armor fell as she stepped through the blown down door. Debris from the collapsed ceiling littered the floor, along with broken mannequins and dirty, torn rags of cloth.
Sunlight angled through crags and nooks on the roof. Among the rubble she noticed a shimmer, the glint of worn silver, as dull as burnished copper. She kneeled by the metal crate and smoothed a hand on its surface. She then remembered the sense of touch.The metal crate was cool and gritty with dust. She felt the texture with the curiosity of a small child.
While she moved her hand, her finger grazed the sharp edge. A twinge of pain, followed by a wave of bittersweet nostalgia. Her oldest memory came then, a memory of pain.
She remembered a lifetime ago, in the dark blue sky of a forest, and her childhood sweetheart. They held a thorned rose together, under the cover of night. The season was December, she knew, snow and rain, so long ago.
Another memory, sudden, flashed in her mind.
Bloodlust. A soldier seized by her own hands, screaming with livid terror as she drew him apart by the shoulders. He came apart in a crimson tide, and in the spilt mound of his remains, a single eye ball stared back at her.
And like the great warriors who came before her, she experienced the trials and tribulations of her two lifetimes then. Although her body was no older than twenty-four years, her existence was closer to sixty.
She smoothed her hand over the metal crate, halting at the simple padlock. While Unit 01 could bend the will of people and Unit 02 was aligned with the element of water, her ability was in energy manipulation.
Fearful men and women, upon creating her, bound her potential with their restraints. While confined to her restraints, she could only access the suit's hydrogen fuel cells, and at that only when permitted. She could now freely detect and access any available energy source within a thousand-kilometer radius.
And somewhere in the savannah, she sensed, there was a potent energy source.
She tested this new energy source. Much like the bridge at Agra, she manipulated the padlock at the molecular level. The mechanism in her hand dissolved and took to the air in a dusty brown haze of rust. What she once accomplished with great effort now came to her by mere thought, for she was reborn into her true form. Lord Tyr, a wise man once christened her, after the Norse god of combat and heroism.
Among the radio waves, she heard the voice of a woman garbled with static, so she focused on this transmission. She refined its clarity until the person sounded as though she stood a mere arm's length away.
"Unit 03," the voice said tensely. "Please respond. I don't know how much longer I can stay up here. You're going to have your hands full. Please respond. Your signal is extremely weak..."
"It never ends," she muttered to herself. She could've walked away right there... but to where? She had her memories, and she knew the plague still infested every colony-world. Her only choices were to run forever or stand and fight. She sighed and opened the communication link to the woman.
"What do you mean I'll have my hands full?"
The woman's voice came to a sudden halt—both at the fact there was a response, as well as the impatient, unapologetic tone in the responder's voice. "What's going on? I have no visuals. The armor is silent. Are you—"
"The evolved Locri are finished here and they're heading for the surface. You're going to have your hands full if you don't clear a landing zone for me to set the Vidar down."
"Fine. Wait for my signal."

Motcomb Street by Nails Inc and Glitter Glam by E.L.F are perfect for each other. I simply fully painted my nails with Motcomb Street blue and then covered half my nail (diagonally) with tape and then painted over the exposed side with Glitter Glam. Super easy and the colours are wintry and lovely! Great for the holiday and New Year Season!
These nails were quite big on the catwalk during the 2012 fashion weeks as well as two-toned lips!

Florida Pundit is catching up on the news after two and a half weeks in Central Europe with very limited internet access. Quite a bit has happened here that doesn't get covered by European newspapers.
The Obama administration was afraid of letting the Arizona immigration law go into effect and got a liberal judge to suspend most of it. Bacteria breaking down oil seem to be attacking the Gulf oil spill a lot faster than anyone but Rush Limbaugh predicted. An agriculture department employee has been fired over racist remarks and then was offered her job back (I still have to catch up on the details of this one).
GM will be selling a "green" car whose main virtue seems to be that it has a gas-based backup engine that ensures that you won't be stranded when the battery is exhausted after just forty miles. It takes ten hours to recharge the battery for another forty mile trip. I wonder how much coal is burned in power plants to provide the electricity to charge the battery and how that compares to the one to two gallons of fuel that would be burned by a regular gasoline engine for a forty mile drive. We'll need to follow up on this one.
A lot more has happened, but I also have collected interesting stories from my trip that I will cover over the next couple of weeks. Here are some highlights:
1. If you think we have a lot of "green" initiatives here, Western Europe is much more extreme and believe in global warming is unquestionable dogma in the media. What is interesting though is that despite a heat wave that brought 95 degree heat for more than half my trip in places with no air conditioning, no one I talked to ever linked the heat wave to global warming.
2. There is a demographic revolution occurring in big cities causing an rise in an increasingly radicalized Muslim population. Locals seem to believe that all the women in burkas (head to toe black dress covering the entire face but the eyes) are all rich Saudi Arabian tourists. This is certainly a factor, but I find it hard to believe that it is the whole story. I will provide pictures, plus the surprisingly frank comments of a monk given during a guided tour through a monastery.
3. While Western Europe is declining in political and economic power, life during this decline can still be pleasant especially if you have no children or grandchildren to worry about.
4. A visit to Prague, which Florida Pundit first visited shortly after the fall of communism twenty years ago, illustrates how the future of Europe lies in what former Secretary of Defense, Donald Rumsfeld, called "new Europe", i.e. in the former communist states stretching from Lithuania to Slovenia.
5. The European Union has brought changes that make travel a lot easier. You don't have to worry about changing currencies when traveling between countries using the Euro and crossing the border between many countries is like crossing the state line between Florida and Georgia. The only thing that remains are the abandoned border posts. Positive developments, but a lot of these changes are imposed by a European elite and, with crises like the Greek economic collapse, one has to wonder about the long-term stability of these arrangements.
Europe is a continent with a rich history, but it is in decline and faces enormous demographic changes. It is great for many Europeans to take a month vacation in summer and a couple of weeks in winter, but they are spending at the expense of future generations. When conservative governments take over from socialists all they can really do is slow the decline. The potential exceptions are some of the former communist countries of Eastern Europe where flat taxes and less regulations have created an economic boom.
President Obama is the most European president the United States has ever had. This statement probably puzzles the American left. It is not Obama's race that is relevant, but rather his ideas. Obama is steering the US toward policies that Europe has been implementing since World War 2 and we need to reverse this direction in the 2010 and 2012 elections.
It is good to be home. More on all of this in future posts.

A/N: This brief piece takes place toward the end of Season 8's 'Threads'. I was in a philosophical mood, what can I say.
Times Change
There are times when the old rules no longer apply, times to reach beyond what is familiar and well tested.
There are times when change is mandatory.
In these times, the stakes are highest: continued existence vs. annihilation; happiness vs. despair; companionship vs. loneliness; fearful paralysis vs. courageous action.
These times are opportunities for growth beyond our wildest dreams, but they're also fraught with challenges to our stamina and determination.
In times of change, we stand on a precipice. Reluctant to abandon the past, yet eager to embrace the future, we look out over the beautiful, inviting valley of promises laid out at our feet. To get there requires a leap of faith. We have no guarantee the landing will be soft and welcoming. If we jump, the risk of injury is considerable, if not to our physical bodies, then surely to our egos, our psyches.
Shortly after her father's death, Samantha Carter stood at the edge of that precipice. Her career was flying high, the Goa'uld had been vanquished and, largely due to her efforts and those of her team, the planet was safe. But she was alone. Alone, yearning for the love that stood just outside her reach, she remained frustrated and unfulfilled. As much as her intellect told her it shouldn't be that way, her heart said otherwise. And, after all these years, her heart demanded attention.
She surprised herself. She was frightened, fearful of taking the leap, telling Jack O'Neill how she truly felt about him. It was risky. What if he didn't feel the same way? After all this time, what if she were the only one whose heart ached for more.
This should be easy, her mind told her. After all, it wasn't like the fate of the known world hung in the balance. This time Samantha Carter would risk something much more fragile. If she decided to take the leap, she would risk her heart.
The decision, as always, was hers.
The End

Why you'll share this story: The new science of memes - Quartz
Adam Rifkin stashed this in Growth Hacks!
Stashed in: Economics!, Science!, Teh Internets, Attention, Memes, Most Important Stash Ever, About Memes
Memes have mastered viral spread; this article explains the science of why:
The internet, of course, was barely in its infancy when Richard Dawkins, a British evolutionary biologist, coined the term 'Äúmeme'Äù¬Ýback in 1976. And he meant it as a much more nuanced concept, encompassing pretty much any idea that is good at propagating from one human brain to another'Äîwhether it is dialectical materialism or the tune to¬ÝHappy Birthday.
But Dawkins was¬Ýdeliberate in his comparison of memes to genes. Like the molecular units of inheritance, memes 'Äúreproduce'Äù by leaping from one mind to another, 'Äúmutate'Äù as they are re-interpreted by new humans, and can spread through a population.¬ÝThe internet has radically accelerated the spread of memes of all kinds; but it has also led to the rise of a specific kind of meme, the kind encapsulated by a phrase or a picture. And importantly for scientists, the life of a such a meme is highly measurable.
New research¬Ýfrom¬ÝMichele Coscia¬Ýof Harvard University goes so far as to suggest a decision tree'Äîwhich is sort of like a flow chart'Äîthat can show at any given point in an internet meme'Äôs life how likely it is to go viral. In order to generate this chart, Coscia tracked 178,801 variants of 499 memes, all gathered from what is arguably the internet'Äôs biggest clearinghouse for memes,¬ÝQuickmeme.
Even more interesting in the context that Quickmeme got banned from Reddit for cheating:
In the attention economy, memes do battle to the death:
If you think Nature is red in tooth and claw, you have yet to stare longingly at a website's analytics dashboard, quietly willing an article you wrote to go viral. (Not that anyone at Quartz has ever done this.) In the attention economy, memes compete for a finite pool of attention, representing all the time everyone spends on the internet. Which means that for one meme to become popular, some other meme must pass into obscurity.
Coscia's data crunching revealed that memes that were "more competitive" than others—that is, whose rise in popularity tended to correlate with the fall in popularity of other memes—were more likely to succeed overall.
Memes travel in packs.
Coscia identified a number of "meme organisms"—clusters of memes that tend to do well together. He doesn't speculate about why, exactly, these memes' fates seem to be linked together, but a look at meme cluster #45, consisting of two memes (the average number in a cluster was 4.8) suggests a strange sort of logic to their linkage.
Meme cluster #45:
People get bored quickly, and are surprisingly predictable about what they'll share
Past research¬Ýabout memes shows two things that should surprise no one, but are worth emphasizing: If you can figure out what someone is interested in, you can predict how likely she is to share a piece of content. And the more similar a piece of content is to what she has shared before,¬Ýthe more likely she is to share it. In other words, affinity groups rule the web.
No one has any idea what makes something go viral in the first place
Attempts to predict what will go viral on the internet are based on the past behavior of a meme. As Coscia emphasizes in his work, no one has yet to rigorously demonstrate, in advance, why any particular type of content goes viral. This sort of prognostication¬Ýremains an art rather than a science.

Accurate or not, it's fair to say that in the popular imagination the Brooklyn Dodgers are remembered as a rag tag bunch of lovable lunks, both object of their zany fanbase's opprobrium as well as affection. What other sports team wore so sour an epithet (dem Bums!) as proudly as the Dodgers? Yet, for all of the organization's sweet buffoonishness, there have been times when an ill-starred pop-up has darkened the outfield. One such instance, and one which is perhaps little known to all but those who bleed blue, occurred in 1935 -- in a private plane, in the skies above Toronto.
A Dodger for just about two years, centerfielder Leonard Koenecke was in the midst of a disappointing season when, during a mid-September road swing, manager Casey Stengel sent him home with two teammates, slumping pitchers Bobby Barr and Les Munns. The year before Koenecke looked like a sure bet, batting .320 and committing just two errors in 193 games, a major league record for outfielders. Fortune, however, turned on the man and as quickly as he had made a spot for himself in the flock's roost he was sent packing on a plane from St. Louis to Brooklyn, his fate with the club unknown.
But before he made it home to his wife and young daughter at 2025 Regent Place, Koenecke was yanked from his commercial flight at a stopover in Detroit due to drunkenness, belligerence, and general polluted wantonness. Munns and Barr continued on with the second leg of their journey leaving Koenecke behind at the airport where he eventually hired a private plane to fly him as far as Buffalo. To know what happened in the air we have to rely on the accounts of the men who piloted the plane, the very same men who brained Koenecke with a fire extinguisher following a struggle. According to the two pilots, William Joseph Mulqueeney and Irwin Davis, Koenecke became violent and uncontrollable, at one point attempting to commandeer the controls and fly -- or crash -- the plane.
As you can see from this headline, the attorney for the pilots argued that the men were merely defending themselves from a distraught ballplayer looking to end his life. It's a reasonable story, and one that would sound good in a courtroom, but was there more to it than that? Numerous times throughout the Eagle's coverage of Koenecke's death descriptions of the outfielder's demeanor surface. He is called "a moody hypersensitive chap," possessing a "peculiar introspective temperment" who was "never talkative" and was generally recognized as a "problem player." His drinking, which was roundly acknowledged in the papers, likely contributed to this assessment.
In his book, Stengel: His Life and Times, author Robert W. Creamer claims that something other than suicidal ideation gone haywire accounts for the violent outburst in the air. He writes: "Koenecke, drinking, made his way to Detroit, where he chartered a two-man plane to fly him to Buffalo. He began to behave irrationally -- veteran baseball men say that he made homosexual advances to the pilot and the copilot -- and a fight broke out on board the small plane, during which Koenecke was hit on the head with a fire extinguisher and killed." It's not surprising that the Eagle would completely avoid any discussion of a major leaguer's sexuality, preferring to cloak speculation with quotes regarding the man's "peculiarity." But I was surprised that this bit of information is nowhere else cited. Just who Creamer's "veteran baseball men" are is unknown, and they don't seem to surface in the Dodger literature I explored. But if Creamer's claim is true, or rather, the claim of these anonymous veteran ballplayers is true, the story of Len Koenecke, though tragic no matter how you understand it, certainly becomes a lot more complex and difficult to come to terms with. To read more about these events you should check out this great Globe and Mail piece from 2005, written on the 70th anniversary of Koenecke's death. And if you're near the library you should stop by the Collection to look through our clipping files.
It is always exciting to accession a big new collection, as it brings the promise of new researchers, new information, and because it's just fun to dig around in new stuff. Our latest big new collection is the Linewaiters' Gazette, the official bi-weekly newspaper of what is likely the world's most famous grocery store, the Park Slope Food Coop. Perhaps you've heard of it?
The Park Slope Food Coop was established as a members-only, collectively-run buying club in 1973, housed in the Mongoose Community Center at 782 Union Street (where the Coop continues to operate). Members chipped in by working on all aspects of the operation -- ordering the groceries, stocking the shelves, manning the cash registers, and whatever other jobs sprang up -- in exchange for a minimal mark-up on the price of food. That model still stands today, although the membership has grown from a small handful of souls to over 16,000 people from all over the city (of which, in the interest of full disclosure, I am one). In similar fashion, the Linewaiters' Gazette has matured from a very homemade, two-page in-house newsletter to a slick publication staffed by a cadre of dedicated volunteers. This evolution is evident in the paper's changing masthead, which went through various hand-drawn, cartoonish iterations before settling on its current look.
There was also, in the late 1970s, an identity crisis. The fine print below reads, "We think we need a new name. If you have a suggestion, drop it in the newsletter envelope near the Records Committee desk."
More than just an in-house newsletter intended to while away the time spent waiting in a checkout line (hence the title), the Linewaiters' Gazette documents the then-burgeoning and now-established movement to look at food as not just nourishment, but as the product of ethical and political forces. Organic produce, locally sourced goods, sustainable agriculture, and farm workers' rights were of as much concern to these shoppers as the usual criteria of taste and freshness. An article from April of 1974, Margarine - the tremendous hoax, heralded the current backlash against trans fats more than 30 years before New York City banned the substance in restaurants. Price lists and the periodical new product supplement, Food News, trace the changes in the organic food market and its advertising as the industry has grown explosively through the last 40 years. The Coop also has a long history of boycotting goods from companies, or countries, deemed unethical, debate over which is exhaustively recorded in lengthy articles and Letters to the Editor. In this way, the Linewaiters' Gazette reflects changing attitudes toward food politics, albeit from the perspective of its largely left-leaning membership.
As the official voice of a local institution the Linewaiters' Gazette also closely documents the community of Park Slope, Brooklyn. Fliers for dances, announcements for stoop sales, and event listings for classes and workshops give insight into the daily life of a group of Brooklynites gathered around a shared ideal. Indicators of the now-stereotypical Park Slope lifestyle abound (announcements for yoga classes and meditation workshops, impassioned arguments for ethically produced yogurt, etc.) alongside the more mundane apartment and job listings one will find in any local newspaper. The paper is not entirely inward-looking, but also includes articles on neighborhood developments that impact the Coop membership, with pieces on the city's public school system and other of-the-moment topics. It serves as a supplement to the local news coverage found in our newspaper collection on microfilm.
There is, of course, a quirkier side to the paper. Fans of contra dancing will be happy to see their hobby well-represented in the Gazette's events listings.
The timely asterisk indicates "These traditional New England social dances have nothing to do with Central America."
Goofy doodles serve as filler and comedic relief between, say, weighty articles about social injustice and rants against the genetically modified food supply.
The headline reading "Militarization of the Public Schools" is nicely offset by a whimsical rollercoaster sketch.
Lost and found lists periodically pop up in the paper, indicating a slow news cycle and an excessively conscientous membership...
...while also serving as a reminder that some things are probably better left lost.
Our collection currently runs from the Coop's founding in 1973 through 2006, with a few gaps in coverage. Issues after 2006 can be found online through the Coop's website. A partial index lists articles from 1983 - 1987 by subject. Anyone wishing to research the collection should call us at least 48 hours in advance at 718.230.2672.
Brooklyn Public Library and the Norman Mailer Center present a discussion of American writer Norman Mailer and his impact on the literary culture of Brooklyn. Having spent 40 years of his career living and writing in his Brooklyn Heights home, Mailer's rich history of iconic literature contributed over 30 pieces of fiction, non-fiction, and plays to the American canon, including his second novel, Barbary Shore, which was written during this time in Brooklyn. Brooklyn author, Evan Hughes, Literary Brooklyn: The Writers of Brooklyn and the Story of American City Life, will lead this discussion with other Brooklyn historians, which will tackle Mailer's Brooklyn during his active years as well as take a look at Brooklyn's current literary boom.
Program will be held in the Brooklyn Collection, on the 2nd floor mezzanine level of the Central Library at Grand Army Plaza. A wine and cheese reception precedes the talk at 6:30 P.M. Seating is limited to 40 people. Tickets will be given out 30 minutes before the event.
In early June, Brooklyn Connections had the pleasure of welcoming 24 educators from throughout the city for a teacher workshop on local history in partnership with Green-Wood Cemetery.

The day started with an introduction to the Brooklyn Collection and the resources it can offer to teachers who are interested in creating lessons and units about Brooklyn. We developed a set of worksheets, lesson plans and examples of primary sources that teachers could use to help them devise a unit about any neighborhood they might be interested in studying with their students. The Collection has a great selection of primary source documents (photographs, letters, oral histories, etc.) that can be used in a variety of creative ways in the classroom. Educators were shown various websites and catalogs where they can find documents on their own.
After being given a chance to look materials over, our wonderful librarian Ben Gocker took all of the teachers on a tour of the Collection, including our small but impressive map room and a trip down to the "Morgue" - the archived newspaper clippings from the Brooklyn Daily Eagle.
Following the library tour, everyone grabbed a packed lunch and followed Green-Wood Cemetery Education Manager, Steve Estroff, out to the historic Green-Wood Trolley. A short drive later, we were on the beautiful Cemetery grounds. The tour started at the historic entrance, followed by a lovely lunch near the "Family Tree" (a dramatic weeping willow). For the next three hours, Mr. Estroff entertained and educated the teachers with stories of the famous people buried on the grounds. Highlights include Clarence McKenzie (the little drummer boy), George C. Tilyou, Charles Feldman, Dr. Susan Mckinney Stewart and the Green-Wood Chapel. If you don't know who these people are, you're clearly due a visit to the Cemetery!
The tour was a great example of experiential learning, as Mr. Estroff demonstrated many wasy to create learning moments for students. Given that the wide variety of monuments we were shown was but a fraction of what the the Cemetery has to offer, it was also very clear that the Cemetery could easily adapt to suit many class units.
Feedback from the event was extremely positive, and many of the educators felt that they had learnt a lot throughout the day, from the library and from the cemetery tour.
We had a wonderful day with everyone, and really appreciated the highly dynamic group of educators who came together for the day. We'd like to extend a hearty thank you to everyone involved and hope to see them again for another workshop in the near future!
