Hyphen Lynks: The Happy New Lunar Valentine's Year Day Edition

Claire Light - February 14, 2010
  • The Chicago Tribune has a Chinese New Year's article [1] about transracial adoptees and how their parents are handling inculcating culture. Something to consider if you're spending V-Day sweatin' yellow fever.
  • Speaking of the products of yellow fever, mixies Apolo Ohno and newbie Fil Am J.R. Celski got medals at the Olympics [2] Saturday night. Woot.
  • Someone else to keep an eye on during these Olympics: US figure skater Mirai Nagasu [3], who may not get a medal, but is getting a wackadoo reputation.
  • Other Fil Ams in sports: SF Giants pitcher Tim Lincecum is the highest paid pitcher in his first year of eligibility [4], apparently ever.
  • The Koream missionary Robert Park, who went off the rails on his crazy train into North Korea, has been returned to the U.S. chastened, but apparently unharmed [5].
  • An Indian American prof was among those killed by the U of Alabama tenure-shooter [6].
  • Awesome [7]:
  • Apparently, Houston's Chi Am community is growing exponentially. [8]
  • A Sacramento man who worked three JA family farms during the internment to save them, is going to be honored next week. [9]
  • Speaking of internment, a new documentary film short tells the story behind this famous internment photo [10].
  • Feds are investigating Milwaukee's Asian gangs, who have committed 140 violent crimes [11] against one another in the past few years. Wow.
  • And finally, in Ahmadinanigans Watch: Iran has quietly reduced Kian Tajbakhsh's sentence from 12 years to 5 [12]. Mmm hmm.

Much love and ly see to you tonight, my peoples!
