Big news from NYPL $300M job is halted at main branch of New York Public Library By Barbara Ross  / NEW YORK DAILY NEWS Monday, July 8, 2013, 9:39 PM 
The New York Public Library has voluntarily halted construction on its iconic main branch “until all approvals” are in hand, a library official said Monday.   The statements came after scholars and preservationists sued to block the plan because it requires the demolition of stacks under the landmark building’s Rose Reading Room and it would move more than 1 million books to New Jersey.

Here is a well written piece by Nicole Gelinas (The Manhattan Institute): 
Real-estate fiction NY Public LibraryÂ’s risky scheme By Nicole Gelinas Last Updated: 12:08 AM, July 8, 2013Posted:  10:48 PM, July 7, 2013 
http://www.nypost.com/p/news/opinion/opedcolumnists/real_estate_fiction_Py6RHXoIZlrDES5HhqhVNN 

In this Daily News editorial, what looks like a pass along from the NYPL PR department,  the NYPL fights back with something that reads like a fourth grader wrote it.  They say the money raised for the Central Library Plan will come from selling a "delapidated library".  They are apparently talking about the Mid-Manhattan library which needs some, but not that much, maintenance that the NYPL is refusing to provide at a far lower cost than the cost of selling and shrinking the libraries.  The article does not mention the pattern of selling libraries for below market prices which is not benefitting the library or the public.

Here is an excellent article  
http://chronicle.com/blogs/conversation/2013/07/02/the-new-york-public-library-must-be-saved-from-itself/ 

In case you missed it, here is startling testimony at State Assembly Micah Kellner's Hearing on NYC Library Sales."The New York Public Library has LOST the documents of their own history.   Tragically, it's not too surprising since the current leadership of the library apparently has total contempt for the treasures in their care as they throw these materials up and down the New Jersey Turnpike in a cavalier fashion." Don Christensen testimony 

http://noticingnewyork.blogspot.com/2013/07/startling-testimony-at-state-assembly.html 

Have fun watching this video about the Troy, Michigan library and its guardians ploy to save it. Very, cool, and very, very smart.  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nw3zNNO5gX0 Such a shame it had to come to this, though.

Leon Reid IV Put Bomb in Tompkins Square Park Howl

Leon Reid IV Put Bomb in Tompkins Square Park Howl

"It's The Bomb" is a sculpture addressing the climate of fear in America. The bomb is not an actual explosive device but it arrests all who encounter it. This statement was written by the artist Leon Reid IV.

Suzannah B. Troy says calling The Bomb Squad!

FYI:  I was an NYPD nerd and LOVED Lt. Joe Petrosino who some attribute to the origin of the creation of the NYPD Bomb Squad from the days of The Black Hand who put bombs in Garbage Cans like this but they were real.

I still love the Lt Petrosino and visit his name on the NYPD Memorial but the NYPD Det Squad and supervisors were involved in fixing me being violently assaulted even preventing me from reporting Delita Hooks, receptionist office manager filed a false cross complaint which was obvious from the assault video.  Please help this YouTube to go viral to shame Dr. Andrew Fagelman 155 Spring St who did not fire Delita Hooks but paid her for her time violently attacking me nearly blinding me and the NYPD the fixed the crime as well as Internal Affairs that has been sitting on this...yesterday marked the 8 month anniversary. 

That being said I have great admiration for the NYPD Bomb Squad.

Citizens Defending Libraries How U Can Help

Citizens Defending Libraries, June 1, 2013

We welcome you to our next meeting is this Sunday, 4:30-6:00 at 10 Clinton Street, Brooklyn Heights.

On Monday, June 3, from 10:00-11:30, are the City Council Budget Hearingsfor the Committee on Cultural Affairs and Libraries.  Libraries are first on the agenda.  Come to the Steps of City Hall between 9:15-10:00 AM on Monday and join us in giving flyers and letters to the City Council members as they walk into the building.  We spoke at the last hearings but may not be given the opportunity this time.  Michael White and others will be on the steps of City Hall with copies for you.

The following letter adapted from a written by Greg Homatas is a good letter that addresses the issue of library sell offs and the BPL refusal to fix the AC at the Brooklyn Heights Library.  I recommend you read, personalize it if you want, sign and email it to the City Council members before Monday’s City Council budget hearings.  The following are members of the committee on libraries:

jbramer@council.nyc.gov,  slevin@council.nyc.gov, drecchia@council.nyc.gov, lcomrie@council.nyc.gov, idickens@council.nyc.gov,ddromm@council.nyc.gov, ecrowley@council.nyc.gov, aking@council.nyc.gov

Dear City Council memberJimmy Van Bramer, Stephen Levin, Domenic Recchia, Leroy Comrie, Inez Dickens, Daniel Dromm, Elizabeth Crowley, and Andy King, 

The New York Public Library leadership, NYPL, is considering selling off or closing parts of the public library systems in the five boroughs of New York City at a time when library usage is up 40%.  The hit list includes some of the most well used and historic libraries including the Mid Manhattan (the most well used library in the country), SIBL at 34th Street and Madison, Pacific Library and Brooklyn Heights Libraries. We ask that you halt the sale of any public libraries and require that funding be restored to the levels prior to the defunding which started at the beginning of Mayor Bloomberg’s third term in 2008.

I would like to urge you to add an agenda item in the City Council consisting of a Capital Budget request to fix or replace the air conditioning system in the Brooklyn Heights branch of the Brooklyn Public Library at Cadman Plaza. There will be curtailed hours of service this summer due to the lack of AC causing hardships on those patrons that need these services the most during our hottest season. I think it is ludicrous that they are considering the sale of the library which is a beautiful art deco structure to a developer to erect a luxury high rise because they don’t have the money to fix or replace the air conditioning system.

I want to urge you to support the efforts made by a new group called Citizens Defending Libraries who has the following website:

http://citizensdefendinglibraries.blogspot.com/

As a voting resident, I would like you also to sign this petition at the following website and urge your colleagues to do the same:

http://signon.org/sign/save-new-york-city-libraries

Thank you,

 

Next Saturday, June 8, canvass your local libraryto inform library users of the sell offs happening.  

From 11:00-1:00 we will be in front of the Brooklyn Heights Library and from 2:30 until 4:00 we will be in front of the PacificLibrary.  Contact Eric Schtob, eshtob@gmail.com, and he can email you copies of flyers or if you need copies made, you can pick them up from him.

Thursday, June 6, 7:00pm – 8:30pm, Common Cause--Mayoral Forum (Manhattan), Schomburg Center for Research in Black Culture, 515 Malcolm X Boulevard, New York  "This year New York City will elect a new Mayor for the first time in 12 years. You can help determine the most important issues facing the city today. Common Cause/NY has partnered with CBS 2 News, WCBS Radio 880, 1010 WINS, El Diario La Prensa, & CUNY to host town hall meetings in each of the five boroughs so you can weigh in on what matters and help decide what to ask the mayoral candidates.

I understand that it is easy to feel overwhelmed by the money and power working to sell off the libraries.  By taking action and protecting the libraries as well as other public resources that are being exploited for private gain, the politicians will have to see that greed doesn't always succeed and that the good will that carefully built the libraries should be respected and preserved.  Please join us in having a voice and let people know what is happening.

Thank you, Carolyn McIntyre

Sold us out Rudin Luxury Condos instead of a hospital West Village Trauma Level 1 with AIDS care and Rape Crisis Center.  06 needs Trauma Level 1 as well.  Open 9-11.

Ask Quinn why more poverty more homelessness, more jobless -- while she and Bloomberg grew richer -- they sold the 3rd term lie we needed Mike to help us with the economy but they helped themselves and their pals.

Ask her why the 911 tech system went over budget 1 billion dollars = 2 billion dollars and failed during Bloomberg's Blizzard and Hurricane Sandy - why -- because like CityTime scam there was stealing going on and Christine Quinn, Bloomberg's puppet green lighted the thievery and largest tax payer abuse in NYC History!

"Giuseppi Logan: The Norfolk Years" and a Thanks to Suzannah B. Troy Artist from Ty

http://www.nytimes.com/2012/04/08/nyregion/giuseppi-logan-jazz-artist-tries-for-a-comeback.html?pagewanted=all&_r=0   Robin Gustin's photo speaks to The New York Times photo and I treasure the beautiful photo in The New York Times of Giuseppi Logan and I sitting on the bench at Tompkins, GL's favorite spot.   My YouTube documentary  series continues on.
The Signal to Noise article the only media post that truly acknowledge me so thanks for such a quality piece Pete Gershon.  Very rare to be acknowledged the way you acknowledged my work.


Suzannah,

I wanted to thank you for the work you've done for Giuseppi Logan. I saw a few of your YouTube videos, I'll eventually watch all of them. I used to live in Norfolk from 1984 - 1990. Everyone there him as Joe. I knew Joe because a very good friend of mine, Kenny Butler, used to let Joe stay at his place, that went on for years. My friend's on Facebook from the Norfolk years only just learned about Joe being Giuseppi Logan, what a trip! We did not know that he had a prior recording history. Everyone that knew Joe liked him, though it was hard to have a conversation with him, he was gregarious person to be around. I imagine my friend Kenny though had many long conversations with him because of the time they spent together. It probably helped that Kenny had his masters in psychology. I even gave Joe my twin brothers old trumpet, I think Joe had that for some time. Kenny really liked Joe, I remember Kenny telling me that he thought Joe was an old soul that
had a lot to tell and teach. Joe mostly played trumpet during the time that I knew him. I also saw the project that Ed did in getting the CD and record made, I'll have to get one.
Thanks Suzannah,
Ty Brady
ps  If you wanted to REALLY wanted to learn about Giuseppi's Norfolk "lost years", then you should get in contact with Kenny.  (Ty I am too tired right now -- thinking can I register to run for Comptroller of NYC and get enough signatures and mula to humiliate Scott Stringer in a debate and further expose what a fraud he is but thank you.  Will forward to media and post on my blog for GL fans!

Ty thank you and all who have helped GL along the way.

I am trying to heal from a violent assault that almost blinded me in left eye at 155 Spring St. by Dr. Andrew Fagelman's receptionist office manager Delita Hooks who not only violated my patient rights and my body but lied about me -- flat out slandered me and filed a false cross complaint so you reminding me of all the People that have appreciated my efforts to help make a difference in my life.  Jaee Logan GL's youngest child and only child from his 2nd relationship calls me an Angel.

Thanks and gratitude....your kind thoughts a comfort.

Suzannah B. Troy 
ps amazing how I hear from People from all over the world thanking me and sending kind thoughts to GL.  A dear British friend that adopted me Nic even bought GL's music so help support GL.   Thanks to everyone that gave me clothes to help keep Giuseppi Logan warm and my family as well who share their clothing to give to homeless People as well.


Thanks to the German Science Magazine "Wunderwelt Wissen" for publishing my photo of Giuseppi Logan in their touching piece on Treasures Found.

Adrian Schoolcraft NYPD Whistle Blower is suing over psych ward lockup after doctors held him from leaving

http://www.nydailynews.com/new-york/reported-crooked-nypd-suing-psych-ward-lockup-article-1.1286945

Excerpt -- go to NYDN to read more... (FYI NYDN has banned me from commenting!)

"The Brooklyn cop suing the NYPD for locking him in a mental ward when he questioned police procedure says a doctor wouldn’t let him leave without police approval.

“I wanted to leave because they had no reason to keep me,” Officer Adrian Schoolcraft told the Daily News. “The doctor said to me and my father, ‘He’s not here against his will, but we are waiting to hear from the NYPD.’ ”

RELATED: COUNCILMAN BATTLES RAY KELLY AT HEARING

The exchange with Jamaica Hospital psychiatrist Dr. Isak Isakov is expected to be a focus when Schoolcraft’s $50 million lawsuit goes to trial later this year.

“This was supposed to be an independent medical examination,” said a lawyer for Schoolcraft, Peter Gleason. “The doctor is not supposed to make his decisions based on what the Police Department says.”"

Christine Quinn Stacks Stonewall Democratic Club Just like Board of Elections

"City Council Speaker Christine Quinn is so worried about losing the endorsement of a prominent gay-rights group that she’s stacking it with new members, a source said.

“The Stonewall Democratic Club — 100 new members came into that club for Chris Quinn,” said one member. “It would be a tremendous embarrassment if [Stonewall] didn’t endorse her.”"

Christine Quinn stacked Board of Election which is up to it's eyeballs in corruption and a tech disaster like CityTime and ECTP 911 all green lighted by Christine Quinn they way she green lighted Rudin Condos instead of a Trauma Level 1 Hospital with a Rape Crisis Center.

http://christinequinnminime.blogspot.com/2013/02/christine-quinn-in-bed-w-board-of.html

Christine Quinn also stacked the slush dog watch dog position as in essentially NEVER filling the position.  What is the name of the puppet she appointed?

Does it matter because not one case of slush abuse by Christine Quinn has been reported and she continues to abuse slush aka tax payer money to steal this mayor job they way she helped Mike to steal a third term.

NYC Friday to mark 71 years since the attack on Pearl Harbo

http://www.ny1.com/content/top_stories/173547/city-marks-71st-anniversary-of-pearl-harbor-attack


A number of events will be held in the city Friday to mark 71 years since the attack on Pearl Harbor.

A moment of silence was held at 7:55 a.m. local time in Hawaii to mark the moment the bombs first hit.

In New York, Pearl Harbor survivors gathered at the Intrepid to lay a wreath in the Hudson River.

The event included a 21-gun salute by the 69th Infantry Firing Party.

Curtis High School on Staten Island also is holding a memorial, being attended by the borough's sole survivor of the attack.

More than 2,000 people were killed when the Japanese launched the surprise attack on the U.S. Navy base at Pearl Harbor in Hawaii in 1941.

The attack pulled the United States into World War II.

The Mysterious Mr. Rechnitz by David Goodman

That strategy has not always worked in his favor. News media outlets looking for a photograph of Mr. Rechnitz after the announcement resorted to one of the only pictures they could find: an image of Mr. Rechnitz, hair sticking out from under a knitted cap, taken from a 2009 video interview.

Mr. Rechnitz had tried to get the video taken down before and after the announcement, said Suzannah B. Troy, 50, an artist who shot the clip and posted it on YouTube. “I’d appreciate it if you would please take that video down,” he wrote to her in July in an e-mail, which she provided to The New York Times. “It’s a pretty unflattering shot the media grabbed from the video.”

She refused. “It’s authentic; you look like a Williamsburg hipster,” she remembered telling him. (Ms. Connelly later released a more buttoned-up studio portrait.)

Argo Great Film 6 bucks Village East Cinema before noon!

So moving....WOW...see this film!!!!!!!!!!!  Based on a true story of American's taken hostage in Iran -- it is a heart stopping true story.


http://www.telegraph.co.uk/culture/film/9622647/Ben-Afflecks-new-film-Argo-upsets-British-diplomats-who-helped-Americans-in-Iran.html

This film is so good --- look at the article above for a colorful photo with Ben Affleck, John Goodman and Alan Arkin to give a hint this film is entertaining, a roll coaster ride and I don't read the next sentence if you don't want the ending revealed.

It ends happy, you see photos of the real photo vs actors, and Jimmy Carter gives us a summary at the end.

I shed some tears.



This is not Petraeus and company, dumb and dumber but our hero CIA agent Tony Mendez is everything you wish Petraeus was rather than writing character references for Jill Kelley's sister and think of Benghazi, Tony Mendez was so courageous, gutsy no wonder he was given an award - a star and not on Hollywood walk of fame.  I was impressed by the story, the acting and story telling.

Did Obama's administration really sell the YouTube lie in an era when our President has his own YouTube channel and FYI, I am a subscriber but I couldn't vote for Obama who is Bush lite.  I vote for the Green Party.

I am disappointed from  The White House to Albany to City Hall and just had a shocker with the NYPD that has changed my life and perceptions completely.

This film gave me hope and makes you appreciate how lucky you are to be alive and safe if in fact you are.

I see Oscars for Affleck's Argo.

ps if you see Argo in the East Village before noon you will pay 6 dollars versus Lincoln which costs 14 dollars.  http://www.villageeastcinema.com

Zipper Superb Film by Amy Nicholson 9:30 PM tonight IFC W. Village

Tonight be there -- if you can't restrain yourself boo Mike Bloomberg and Amanda The People's Burden -- the worse most evil city planner commissioner in NYC's history.

Where ever you live in NYC she has aided and abetted her greedy pals in busting through zoning to destroy our community so you can see her -- a mega-millionaire socialite looking ghoulish from too much plastic surgery and injections in her face making her look like a Coney Island Freak except she has no soul.

This is a film about fighting for the SOUL of NYC and how the Bloomberg administration talks out one side of their mouth but their actions are evil.

Watch this film about a historic amusement ride "Zipper" - you will be laugh and love the People of Coney Island -- laugh with them and cry too but you will never be board and yawn like one of the NYC gov representatives as a Coney Island Native fights for the heart and soul of the community.

Amy Nicholson captures the texture and beauty of the People their soul as Bloomberg's battalion of zombies with their black berries are interviewed and lie in your face lie they get in bed with Thor and you learn what a creep "Joey Coney Island" is what he calls himself but a sign posted where an amusement rides is tells him to drop dead or something like that.

http://amusingthezillion.com/2012/07/26/film-trailer-zipper-coney-islands-last-wild-ride/

This movie will be a cult classic with great music and film montage cross cuts showing the two sides dark and evil -- so mid night showing dress up like a Coney Island Freak and scream at the evil characters boo your heart out at Mike Bloomberg, Christine Quinn who looks EXTRA HIDEOUS -- really frightening but truly Amanda the People's Burden looks like she is like a soulless living dead zombie and she delights in bringing a Duane Reade to Coney Island!  She has a 40 million dollar trust for her kids.

Reminder Coney Island was RAVAGED by Hurricane Sandy and so was Coney Island's Hospital but greed and stupidity rule.  What is Joey of  Thor going to do if there is a Tsunami besides Bloomberg's corrupt Tsunami of Community Crushing development on old NY"s infrastructure.


The same story with the same characters starring Bloomberg, Amanda The People's Burden, Christine Quinn, all of City Council except Charles Barron and at the time Tony Avella as usual selling us out...

No St. Vincent's Hospital 120 W. 12th St
No St. Ann's Church 120 W E 12 We asked for protective zoning but as usual Bloomberg and The People' s Burden with NYU pushed through an illegal air sale by the corrupt mega-billion dollar loser The USPS to NYU and St. Ann's from 1847 destroyed.  Visit the location see the facade there like an Albatross around the NYU's mega dorm -- NYU mega dormed the East Village to death along with The New School, Cooper Union, NY Law, SVA.

See this excellent film because if you live in NYC these people -- the soulless army of Bloomberg's administration destroyed your community and the soul -- see this smart soulful entertaining film that will make you laugh and cry.

March Madness by Mike Vogel Off Broadway Worth Seeing by Suzannah B. Troy

March Madness by Mike Vogel Abingdon Theatre Company

This is an off Broadway little gem squeezed in to a smart set design underscoring with humor the decline of news reporting with a once award winning reporter for The NY Times writing copy dictated by advertisers for The Drug Store Times.

Note I regular accuse The NY Timed of killing stories on behalf of The Rudin Family as a personal favor to Howard Rubenstein and NYT paint Mike's mini Christine Quinn as Betty Crocker when even she admits St Vincent's Hospital and no Trauma Level 1 hospital with a rape crisis is her -- well maybe she won't admit but the NYT acts like her campaign manager.

Oh and I accuse NY1 Time Warner of firing news reporter for covering our Rudin Protest outside St. Vincent's because they are in bed with City Hall, Bloomberg, Rudin, Howard Rubenstein to get that Chelsea Market Upzoning through -- but hey that's just me.  

You get why I laughed and felt a sense if catharsis. The ending was a bit too easy but I was satisfied and entertained.

The acting was EXCELLENT!!!

Tom Mardirosian as Maury was truly outstanding and he deserves an award.

Mark Doherty as Nick so good I really didn't like him and I would have cast him in Oliver Stone's Wall St one or two -- never saw two.

I loved AJ Cedeno -- beautiful soulful quality which added more substance to his role and ditto for Lucy McMichael as Kim.

Brad Bellamy as Herb understated performance that was excellent as well.

I loved the F-bombing dropping too poor to retire Maury.

The play not plausible and had a TV sitcom vibe (Barney Miller days for u old folk :)) but really worth seeing.

No intermission and turn your texting and technology off as the 99 percent struggle to survive - a small play with lots of irony.

We have all been there -- jobs with our souls in our shoes -- bosses we hate-- co-workers we despise and those we love.

A joke about the human soul or lack there of my fav.

Aprox. 80 minutes long -- tight squeeze bring someone to cuddle?
