  • Scuttlebutt from the Spermaceti Press 2015
    Jan 15 #1 Scuttlebutt from the Spermaceti Press Sherlockians (and Holmesians) gathered in New York to celebrate the Great Detective's 161st birthday during the long weekend from Jan. 7 to Jan. 11. The festivities began with the traditional ASH Wednesday dinner sponsored by The Adventuresses of Sherlock Holmes at Annie Moore's, and continued with the Christopher Morley Walk led by Jim Cox and Dore Nash on Thursday morn- ing, followed by the usual lunch at McSorley's. The Baker Street Irregulars' Distinguished Speaker at the Midtown Executive Club on Thursday evening was Alan Bradley, co-author of MS. HOLMES OF BAKER STREET (2004), and author of the award-winning "Flavia de Luce" series; the title of his talk was "Ha! The Stars Are Out and the Wind Has Fallen" (his paper will be published in the next issue of The Baker Street Journal). The William Gillette Luncheon at Moran's Restaurant was well attended, as always, and the Friends of Bogie's at Baker Street (Paul Singleton and An- drew Joffe) entertained the audience with an updated version of "The Sher- lock Holmes Cable Network" (2000). The luncheon also was the occasion for Al Gregory's presentation of the annual Jan Whimsey Award (named in memory of his wife Jan Stauber), which honors the most whimsical piece in The Ser- pentine Muse last year: the winner (Jenn Eaker) received a certificate and a check for the Canonical sum of $221.17. And Otto Penzler's traditional open house at the Mysterious Bookshop provided the usual opportunities to browse and buy.

  • Care and Capitalist Crisis in Anglophone Digital Landscapes: the Case of the Mompreneur
    Care and capitalist crisis in anglophone digital landscapes: the case of the mompreneur Meredith Johnson Krueger A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts University of Washington 2015 Committee: Victoria Lawson Sarah Elwood-Faustino Luke R. Bergmann Program Authorized to Offer Degree: Geography © Copyright 2015 Meredith Johnson Krueger 1 University of Washington Abstract Care and capitalist crisis in anglophone digital landscapes: the case of the mompreneur Meredith J. Krueger Chair of the Supervisory Committee: Professor Victoria Lawson Department of Geography The term “mompreneur” has fallen into heavy usage in anglophone media since 2008. A mesh of two ideologically-loaded words, “mom” and “entrepreneur,” the mompreneur is frequently defined by the functional meaning of these two words, but in this thesis I develop a more specific definition and study her as a discursive figure located at a particular intersection of identities. I argue that the mompreneur is a normative ideal in anglophone techno-utopian discourses who structures emergent political-economic relations. I find that she is overwhelmingly constructed as a high-achieving, flexible, creative, multi-tasking “supermom” who makes use of digital information and communication technologies to run a business from home while maximizing quality time with her (biological) children. I ask, what does the mompreneur’s idealized lifestyle and its complementary narratives tell us about the reproduction of white supremacy, heteropatriarchy and capitalism in a colorblind, postfeminist techno-optimist context? What can she tell us about the governance of care amidst economic relations increasingly mediated through digital technology? I take the discourse of mompreneurship as a case study by which to analyze the production of gendered and entrepreneurial subjectivities in relation to capitalist crisis.

  • Lincoln Center 2013/14 Annual Report
    Lincoln Center 2013/14 More than 5,000 people came to Hearst Plaza for the world premiere performances of John Luther Adams’s Sila: The Breath of the World, a commission for Lincoln Center Out of Doors and the Mostly Mozart Festival in the Paul Milstein Pool and Terrace, Laurie M. Tisch Wallpaper Illumination Lawn, and Barclays Capital Grove. B Lincoln Center Lincoln Center 1 to prepare, certify, and place much-needed, highly qualified music, dance, theater, and visual arts teachers in New York City’s public schools. Helping families engage with the performing arts is a long-term investment both in their own lives, and in the future of Lincoln Center; the young families we reach today are more likely to fill our halls in years ahead. This summer’s Lincoln Center Out of Doors season, with more than 100 events, was rich in family-friendly productions and free activities. Multiple generations enjoyed the Deep Roots of Rock & Roll concert and Baby Loves Disco, a dance party for toddlers and their parents. These programs were offered free, along with weekly Target® Free Thursdays and monthly Meet the Artist Saturdays in the David Rubenstein Atrium. We will be launching Family-Linc and other initiatives in the coming months. We are also expanding our use of digital technology to connect Lincoln Center with an ever-widening audience. During Lincoln Center Out of Doors, a quarter of a million people enjoyed our live concerts, and tens of thousands more watched our live streams of the memorial tribute concert to Pete and Toshi Seeger, and of performances by Jed Bernstein and Katherine Farley Dear Friends, artists like Cassandra Wilson and Rosanne Cash.

  • YAGP New York City, NY February 25 - 27, 2018
    YAGP New York City, NY February 25 - 27, 2018 Regional Semi-Final - NEW LOCATION! Tour Guide Dear Friends, We are thrilled to welcome you to the Youth America Grand Prix 19th competition season. Below, you will find a ​ preliminary timeline to help you plan your schedule, and venue information, in order to help you choose the right Semi-Final location for you. TIMELINE Please note that the posted timeline is NOT FINAL, and is only meant to give you an idea of how each particular semi-final will be structured. For example, the Semi-Final usually begins with the pre-competitive group performances, followed by junior groups, senior groups and ensembles. Workshops are usually planned to take place on Sunday morning, but in some larger venues we cannot always hold workshops for all participants simultaneously, and in those cases we may move some of the classes to Saturday or Friday. In some cases, depending on the availability of the studio and theater space, we may accommodate additional participants by making adjustments to the timeline. In this case, the timeline will state that additional dates are "pending". If you do not see this, it means the venue has no more available time, and will not accommodate any participants beyond the standard registered number. If you see a "pending" date for your venue of choice, we strongly ​ suggest that you contact the YAGP Regional office before making any final travel arrangements. Each ​ semi-finalist is invited to participate in one workshop, consisting of three classes. Closer to the event, the master classes will be divided up by age and/or performance, at the discretion of the YAGP regional team.
