Job Training for People With Schizophrenia
Topic Overview
People who have schizophrenia sometimes have a hard time finding or keeping a job. Job training and vocational therapy can help you get the skills you need for a job.
The first part of job training usually is finding out what interests and skills you have. Finding work that you enjoy doing will increase your chance of success.
You may have an interview to assess your interests and job skills. You also may have tests to see what you can do physically. These will help determine which types of jobs may be best for you.
You may benefit from training for a specific job and receiving support services as you begin to work.
A job helps you in many ways:

Do you need a break from your genealogy research? Okay, let's go celebrate!

We have all heard the Christmas song, "We Wish You a Merry Christmas." In several verses, you sing about figgy pudding. So, what is figgy pudding? It is a thick, heavy, cake-like Christmas, dessert popular in 19th century England.
One of my most vivid Christmas memories is of my grandmother. Most everyone can say that, I suppose, but this one doesn't involve going to her house for Christmas. My grandmother, Dorothy Perry, lived in Los Angeles for most of her life. We lived in Kansas City. I grew up during the 1950s and 60s, and travel to Los Angeles was quite expensive, as were as long distance telephone calls (you paid by the minute). As a result, I didn't get to see or talk to her very much.
During this time of the year, we start thinking about traditions: cookies Grandma made or finding the perfect tree with Dad. One of my favorite Christmases was actually one that wasn't at all like the rest. The year was 2001. My family lived in Caracas, Venezuela at the time. It was at the beginning of the "Bolivarian Revolution," and things were tense between the government and opposing factions.
When I was younger, it was a tradition in most families to go downtown and look at the decorations and the store windows. If you did not have a car, you rode the bus. This was a tradition that could be found in towns and cities across the United States.

The 10 Sexiest Games of All Time
Like many of you, I grew up with joystick in hand, with furtive peeks at Playboy between the local newsstand's racks, as my tastes matured from Atari 2600 to Xbox 360.
Consider the facts. The average game player is now 35, according to the Entertainment Software Association. As of 2008, 26 percent of Americans over age 50 have experimented with the hobby. An impressive 40 percent of gamers are female -- women over 18 representing an even larger segment of the population than children and teens. Studies show that seniors and suburban housewives rank among the fastest-growing markets for digital diversions.
Isn't it high time we found ourselves ready to have a frank, honest discussion about sexuality in how it specifically pertains to the games people play?
Damon Brown, author of Feral House's new volume "Porn & Pong: How Grand Theft Auto, Tomb Raider and other Sexy Games Changed Our Culture," certainly seems to think so.
In the spirit of opening the floor for earnest discussion and debate in an era where same-sex relationships and even eroticism on prime time television remain controversial, we invited Brown to present his thoughts on the 10 most erotic games of all time. Agree, disagree or just marvel at the many omissions here (Bully, BMX XXX, Softporn Adventure, the old door games that kept you glued to your local BBS, etc.) -- you're invited to do the same in the Crispy Gamer Community.
There's no denying that, over the years -- speaking directly to the medium's continued growth and maturity -- there have been at least one or two titles that have pushed your buttons, right?
Grand Theft Auto series
The Watchword: "Maturing"
"There's an evolution occurring here. The developers are still fumbling, but we're seeing a definite progression. Earlier games such as Grand Theft Auto III and Vice City limited you to interaction with prostitutes. San Andreas resorted to crudeness, as seen in the "Hot Coffee" segments, which differ little conceptually from Custer's Revenge, which was released two decades earlier. But by Grand Theft Auto IV's virtual girlfriend system, we begin to see creator Rockstar introduce the concept of relationships. And what I find sexy here is all these women's widely distinct personalities: Some are prudes and bookish; others are wild and want to go to the strip club. I don't think the creators get it entirely yet, but they're moving in the right direction. Each new installment progresses what sexuality means inside the game. Ultimately, I'd love to see a more mature Mass Effect-type vibe here. The problem is that every time Rockstar tries and resorts to making a parody of sexual relationships, they stumble, and accidentally wind up setting the standard, which tends to set the medium back."
Leisure Suit Larry in the Land of the Lounge Lizards
The Watchword: "Denial"
"A funny game, yes ? But isn't actual sex funny a good 75 percent of the time, as much as we don't want to acknowledge that? It had excellent timing too: Many of us playing the game at the time of release (1987) were just starting adolescence. It was a good mirror of what we were going through at the time -- our bodies were complicated, awkward and changing. And the relationships we were trying to build (and I use the word "relationships" loosely here) just seemed complicated too. I think that the game was this great reflection of that, featuring this idiot basically stumbling around in the dark. Designer Al Lowe also did a great job of making having sex feel like the Holy Grail, and didn't it feel like that to all of us back then? The game was extremely hard too -- it makes Maniac Mansion look like a cakewalk. We're being denied as much as Larry. That kind of tease can be pretty erotic."
Second Life
The Watchword: "Freedom"
"It would've been higher on the list, but it's not really a game, although it took a lot of elements from massively multiplayer online games and role-playing games and gave us a bunch of cool tools and told us to go at it. It's actually the first true sandbox title. And if people are provided the technology and tools to make anything, they'll always go and make something sexy -- history tells us that over the past century. It never fails. It's almost like the realization of the Holodeck from "Star Trek." Some of the first items sold on here by a guy named Stroker Serpentine were digital penises and vaginas that allowed you to simulate intercourse. And these products have actually done him very well. Freedom to explore and experiment, have a five-way if you want, is the big thing here -- other games restrict players in the way they can interact. You have the freedom to do anything, or anyone, you want in Second Life."
Golgo 13
The Watchword: "Curtain Call"
"One of the earliest NES games, it was based on a major anime and comic book character who's like a Japanese James Bond. He can actually bed several of the female characters he meets. There were these interludes where you'd hook up with women. You'd hear cheesy '
'60s mood music come in, they'd go up to his apartment suite and you'd see two silhouettes in the window crudely moving toward each other. The lights would go down, the view would slowly pan up to the moon, the music would get all funky, and your energy would go up afterwards. It was a prelude, two decades earlier, to what would happen in Grand Theft Auto III. But it was all done very tastefully -- it afforded the act this dignity it didn't have to have. There was this level of sensualness available on the NES that it would take us 20 years to recreate on more advanced systems. Ironically, if you were a little kid, you'd have no idea what was going on."
Fear Effect 2: Retro Helix
The Watchword: "Erotic"
"I struggled with this one, because much of the title was crudely done. What was interesting though was that there was a certain level of sensualness and sexual energy the game conveyed, almost despite itself. The biggest issue was the advertising: The game had 13 different endings, and ads showed the heroines on top of each other with a subhead that said "no one's surprised this game can reach 13 climaxes." You can't deny the sensuality though, and bringing it to the videogame forefront was pretty genius. As far as the title itself, it resorted to a lot of lesbian stereotypes and mythology. It can't be denied, however ? it was pretty sexy game."
Beyond Good and Evil
The Watchword: "Relatable"
"Had the first female protagonist that I could actually see as my girlfriend. She was funny, nerdy, kind of cute, smart, could get into trouble and get herself out just as easily. She was a very capable woman. That just struck me. Videogames have been around for 35 years and it took that long for us to have a semi-realistic female protagonist. Not someone who was a badass like [Metroid's] Samus Aran, or wore a traditional Asian gown like [Street Fighter II's] Chun Li. Nothing here was fetishized. She was just a woman, and that in itself was very sexy to me. I could relate."
Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time
The Watchword: "Chemistry"
"I loved the back-and-forth repartee between the arrogant, bull-headed prince and equally aggressive, but intelligent princess. It reminded me of a classic movie like "Adam's Rib." The jabs were great, and helped to create some chemistry between the characters. Having interviewed designers and discussed this subject with them, I can tell you that this is very difficult to do. There wasn't sexual tension towards the player, which is usually the default, here. Instead, we see this beautiful banter between the player's character, who has his own distinct identity, and this woman that he saves. They have a convincing connection ? very sexy in my book."
Gals Panic
The Watchword: "Voyeurism"
"It was an arcade game which came out in 1990 and was imported from Japan. Picture an update of classic game Qix where you goal was to literally strip away pieces of the game board. Behind its shadow was a silhouette of a woman you were undressing. It was like strip poker: You'd strip her from clothes to underwear to a cartoon graphic to a real digital picture of the model used to create the design. What I found fascinating is that one, it was a top 10 game in America (amazing to me), and two, it was the first game (and one of few my research found) that actually showed nudity in a public place. There's a certain amount of fear of getting caught conveyed here, and I found very few examples of that happening again. It just was a simple, rare thing that speaks to the clandestine thrill of voyeurism?"
The Watchword: "Secret"
"Has a strong female lead, but you have no idea she's a woman. At the time, we had very few strong female characters -- maybe Ms. Pac-Man and the valkyrie from Gauntlet. It was a revelation to learn that the person shooting all these monsters and destroying the Mother Brain was female. You practically kill yourself playing, finally beat the game and learn she's a woman, and a beautiful woman at that, and it just blows your mind. This was an amazing Easter egg, and one that predates the Internet. The game's incredibly hard: I know people to this day who haven't beat it. So you finish this really tough adventure, and you get this great, totally unexpected reward, and because few people have experienced it, it because almost like a myth or legend, and part of the cultural canon. It's just a really defining moment, and one of gaming's best surprises."
Mass Effect
The Watchword: "Relationships"
"I didn't have a choice here. The game itself can be kind of dry because of the pacing. But the fact that you're able to build up relationships with aliens, humans and countless races makes it fascinating. The sex scenes are also quite beautiful, and very well done, and it's absolutely clear that a romantic interlude took place. The way that the female alien's wrist goes limp against the headboard, or way the game concentrates on the eyes and glides over small parts of the body without showing anything explicit ? The most important thing to note here, though, is that developer BioWare is able to put this into a game so focused on meaningful interaction. You have a relationship with every single thing, be it person or alien, that you come across. This isn't a scenario where you're just trying to get off, or an attempt to fetishize an experience. You're building a meaningful relationship, so that when climax does occur, you're truly experiencing the merging of two people who've built up a bond. That's the future of videogames, in my opinion. Whether the gaming public's ready for that yet though remains to be seen?"

DETROIT (WKZO) -- The number of new construction permits for single family homes in the state are well ahead of last year. According to the latest data for January through May, there's been a 26-percent increase over the same period last year. Reportedly the upswing is the result of a combination of fewer existing homes on the market, low mortgage rates and the pent up demand that had been building among people waiting out the economic downturn.

Angel Governing June 6th to 10th
Angel number 16 - ANGEL HEKAMIAH - Energy: LOYALTY
(I pronounce the Angel's Name: HAY-KAW-ME-AH)
Qualities: Loyalty to Divine Principles - Concerning royalty - Coordinator - Pacifier - Honesty, nobility - Obtains responsibilities - Liberator - Universal Love - Becomes leader, chief.
Distortions: treachery, betrayal - dispersion, division - obstruction to higher realizations - too personal love - plot, scheme - overly passionate - provokes dissension in group - feels put down, servile - irresponsible - idolatrous - disagreement.
I would like to share with you the following.
Standing, sitting or lying down, breathe in the name HEKAMIAH by inhaling through the nose, and hold your breath a few seconds. Then, exhale slowly and progressively through the nose. Repeat the exercise as long as needed to create a state of calm. Then you can continue by breathing freely while continuing to invoke HEKAMIAH keeping the eyes closed.
By invoking or repeating the Sacred Formula represented by the Angel's name, we create a passage between the conscious, the subconscious and the different layers of the unconscious, thus reprogramming the different Angelic states of consciousness within, and allowing ourselves to reconnect with our celestial origin. The objective of this work is to purify our soul and become totally conscious in order to rediscover the Knowledge that lies within.
HEKAMIAH is your Angel number 1 (Physical) if your Birthday is June 6th to 10th

Actullay the charge was dropped to a misdemeanor, because there was no evidense of a crime.
1) The roomate ( a person I let live in my home) kept pursuing my wife over and over in my home, I asked him to stop and he kept approaching her, had no marks or injury. Hard to get an assalt charge with no injury (I was NEVER charged with attempted murder)
2) I was sentenced same day.
The reason why I was charged an assault in the first place, I share withme media once the last chapter is closed yet the internet and the annonimous slander and lies hasnt helped (it is called internet bulling)

Did anyone else following this just see the story on Channel 7 Seven On Your Side with an update on the Hogarty saga? If you missed it, his attorney said in an interview that Hogarty is now willing to pay everyone back even though in his view he has no obligation to do so. Funny how he didn't have money to pay anyone back and refused to pay people back and wrote them post dated checks that didn't clear, but now after being charged with all these felonies, he suddenly is now ready to reimburse everyone. They have to know he is going to be forced to pay restitution so this offer shouldn't be considered as something he is doing by choice.
His wife and baby were present for the pretrial hearing on the felony assault charges where a news camera was also there filming them in the hall. Isn't that what all good moms would do with their husband and the father of your child is charged with felony assault that you drag the infant into court to be present for it? Yuck. I'm sure this was to show him as a family man just like he magically reconciled with his visibly pregnant wife to show up in court to face these charges. What sort of mother would go along with such a thing and drag the baby into court?

Hello again,
1st of all I am not Christy Hogarty, and 2nd who are the real crooks?
My point being If people would pay their mortgage payments instead of paying someone else to go to their banker or mortgage holder and asking them to reduce the amount they agreeded to pay. So to me it sounds like William started a business. A business where he took all the embarassment away from the debtor. by going to said debtors banker saying I have this deadbeat who agreeded to a ARM note but since it adjusted they don't feel like making their agreeded payments any longer. So for a fee he explained to the debtor steps they needed to take prior one of his staff aproaching the banker.
So it sounds like William did this ....and when half the people in US heard they all said lets screw the bankers, walk away from our responsibilities...They stopped helping they few who probably needed some help. And now your kids, my kids, and their kids will pay for it. And still are every day this witch hunt continues.
How many Federal and State Tax dollars have been wasted over this issue. Not to mention if 3 or 4 of them go to jail at $40,000 or more per year for a few years.
Don't miss out on the discussion!

Do You Want the Google/Samsung Nexus S? [POLL]
The second "Google Phone," the Nexus S, has been revealed. Will consumers embrace it? The first Google phone, the Nexus One, launched to great fanfare but disappointing sales. Most experts contribute its downfall not to the phone itself, but to Google's insistence on selling the phone via a web store and not in the stores of wireless carriers. The result was that Google discontinued the phone. Will its successor meet the same fate? Perhaps.

Nike Field Hockey Camp at Sacred Heart University was a very enjoyable camp. I improved many of my skills while learning some new tricks as well. I made friends that I know I will keep in contact with and I hope to see them and the coaches next year when I attend the camp again.
Enjoyed camp
I really enjoyed this camp. It taught me a lot and also allowed me to have lots of playing time with other players of all abilities.

Were you Spotted?
DULUTH - For 86 years, the Harlem Globetrotters have electrified audiences around the globe and Sunday was no different as the team made a stop at the Arena at Gwinnett Center.
The Globetrotters played before and entertained thousands of fans in what was dubbed the World Championship Game against the International Elite. A loss meant the Globetrotters would forfeit their 2013 tour, with the Elite taking their place instead.
Although the Elite kept it close throughout the game, the Globetrotters used the support from the fans to will their way to a victory, 100-94.
"This is a great atmosphere," said Hale Spiegelberg of Gainesville. "I brought my two granddaughters out because they enjoy this."
For his granddaughters, Kendall and Kristina Ashe, seeing the Globetrotters play in person had a special meaning because their great-grandfather played for the Washington Generals in the 1930s, a team that has played the Globetrotters tens of thousands of times over the 86-year history of the team.
Kendall said she wished she could dribble like the players, especially Fatima "TNT" Maddox.
"(Having TNT on the team) definitely encourages them and shows them they can be anything they want to be," Spiegelberg said. "They know, though, that just like in anything else, it takes a lot of hard work."
As spectators took to their seats before the teams came out, the atmosphere was alive as the crowd was entertained by the Globetrotter's mascot, "Globie," as well as some other performers.
Then, out came the Globetrotters and the famous tune of "Sweet Georgia Brown," wowing the crowd as they circled up to show off their ball-handling skills. As if that wasn't enough, some of the players came out with too much energy, having to "get down" before the game started.
Once the game started, the atmosphere didn't change as the fans responded to every play that was made, including booing the officials when a call went against the Globetrotters.
To go along with the weave, made famous by the Globetrotters just above the 3-point line, the team showed their superior ball-handling skills and dunked the ball on most trips down the court, much to the delight of fans.
"It's really funny," said Lawrenceville nine-year old Sam Beagle, who was attending his second Globetrotter's game. "I really liked it when they put the ball around their head."
As if the game itself wasn't a delight to many of the fans, most were entertained by the sideshow that went on, as Globetrotter showman Nathaniel "Big Easy" Lofton continually found ways to get into trouble.
From taking a woman's purse to constantly messing with opponents and officials to throwing water at fans in the stands, Big Easy spent some time in the penalty box for his transgressions.
One of the Elite players did however get revenge on Big Easy, pulling down his pants to reveal boxers with the face of Animal from the Muppets, although Big Easy was too worried about dancing and singing to notice until a teammates stopped him to show what he was showing the crowd.
As the fourth quarter began, the Globetrotters had a slight lead, but it never got too serious as an impromptu "YMCA" dance came during a timeout, keeping the fans going during the tight game.
Prior to the final buzzer sounding, the Globetrotters provided one last weave and electric dunk to put a cap on the game, getting a standing ovation from the crowd for their performance.

Russ Wasendorf, Sr., will effectively spend the rest of his life in prison. Thursday a federal judge gave the 64-year-old Wasendorf a 50 year sentence.
Wasendorf stole more than $215 million in customer funds from his commodity futures business, the now-bankrupt Peregrine Financial Group, Inc. (PFG), headquartered in Cedar Falls.
According to information disclosed at the sentencing hearing, Wasendorf stole from more than 13,000 victims over the course of nearly 20 years.
The 50-year sentence is the maximum allowed by law for his offenses of conviction. Wasendorf must also serve a three-year term of supervised release after the prison term.The Court imposed a judgment of forfeiture in the amount of $100 million and it ordered Wasendorf to make $215,530,041.39 in restitution to more than 13,000 victims. As part of the plea agreement, Wasendorf agreed that any proceeds from any publicity about his crimes would be assigned to the United States and applied toward his restitution.
Wasendorf is being held in the United States Marshal's custody until he can be transported to a federal prison.
There is no parole in the federal system.

The decisions you will make when designing your kitchen and baths will be ones you will live with for many years and will affect many areas of your daily routine. With today's technology, features in appliances, tubs and toilets change daily. The amazement you experienced yesterday discovering the functions and beauty of a newly designed faucet, has already been replaced with a better one today.
The excitement of having a beautiful and functional kitchen can quickly give way to a sense of overwhelming by the many choices you will be making and the expenses attached to these choices.
This is a good time to take a minute and reflect on times past, sitting around the kitchen table, chatting about the day's events with the rest of the family or doing your homework while Mom prepared dinner. We smile as we reflect on our memories of birthdays and holidays and the hustle and bustle created in the kitchen during last minute preparations. The dreams, the strategies, the major decisions, often came during the time we spent around the kitchen table - truly the heart of our homes.
Only second to the kitchen were the times spent getting ready in the bathroom - running around like a mad person late for school or work. Or at the other end, lingering in a long, hot shower, singing our own personal latest hit or relaxing in a bubble bath after a hard day at work.
It is no wonder that today we give great emphasis to kitchens and baths.
Whether you are at the stage of designing a new home or renovating, there are some simple steps you can take to ensure the best possible job.
Make a list of your priorities. You will undoubtedly assume you know them, but listing them, and even assigning numbers to the most important things for you to achieve, may bring some surprises.
For example, if you have a large family and spend a lot of time cooking, you can add two extra burners to your stove, which will not take up too much extra room, but will add considerably to the ease of cooking large meals. The space given to these burners will be incidental compared to the time saved not having to wait for another one to become available.
In the same way, if you are a single person, there is no need to have the largest doublewide refrigerator, no matter how beautiful it is.
When considering your bath, it would be wise to pay attention to your daily routine. The thought of coming home from a long day at work and sitting in a large hot tub may be the ultimate luxury for you. Or if showers are your preference, you may want to consider investing in Kohler's new WaterTile Rain overhead showering panels for the ultimate in custom showering.
Research your options. A great place to start is the Internet. Most of the larger companies have beautiful and comprehensive Web sites. Companies such as Kohler, General Electric and Whirlpool, just to name a few, will be a great help in finding out what the newest products available are and which dealers close to you carry them. These Web sites even include virtual rooms so that you can get a true sense of what direction you will pursue. A few hours on the Internet and you will open up an entire world of information.
There are many books and magazines available today that include every type and style of kitchen and baths available.
Visit model homes, specifically focusing on their kitchens and baths, so that you may get a definite idea of the features you will want to include and those that may not be as important to you.
Visit showrooms and talk to the salespeople. As you begin to ask questions, you will find that there are certain people who will be able to answer your questions and make helpful suggestions. It is this final process that will make the decision of who you believe will give you the best job for the money you will invest.
Depending on the size of the project, all of your selections should be considered together before final selections are made. Your colors and textures will reflect on each other. Flooring, cabinets, appliances (or tubs and toilets) window treatments and wall coverings should be in harmony. In addition, your colors should flow with the rest of the house. In particular, many kitchens today are part of an open concept floor plan, thus the colors in the kitchen, family room and living room/dining room should coordinate with each other. A bathroom that connects to a bedroom should be considered as a suite, and the style and colors in both rooms should actually be treated as one room.
Accessorizing these rooms should be a lot of fun. You have done the hard part, now you can add some of your own personality. There are endless selections of accessories, towels and rugs to choose from. These small items will be the finishing touches and will accentuate a job well done.
Now you can relax in your new tub or shower or enjoy the added ease of a beautiful and well-functioning kitchen. Look forward to the new memories you will make.

LAWRENCEVILLE -- David Hoang is many things: an anesthesia tech at Gwinnett Medical Center, a breakdancer, an amateur videographer.
Lately, though, those roles have combined in his quest to help the Lawrenceville hospital win a national competition and a healthy prize for Gwinnett's arm of the American Cancer Society.
"I ended up becoming David, the pink glove guy," Hoang, a Lawrenceville resident, said.
Hoang was the producer behind GMC's entry in the national "Pink Glove Dance" contest, which pits hospitals across the country against each other to see who can make the best music video. Choosing from a handful of songs, entrants compile videos of hospitals associates dancing and singing while wearing pink latex gloves.
It's all aimed at raising awareness for breast cancer research. The creator of the video with the most Facebook votes by Oct. 26 will receive $10,000 to donate to the breast cancer charity of its choice.
Cecilia White, a Snellville resident and operating room nurse at GMC for nine years, helped organize the project that ended up involving some 50 or so associates. From there, Hoang filmed segments around the hospital while the video's stars danced to Cascada's upbeat tune "Evacuate the Dance Floor."
"We didn't have a lot of time to put into it," White said. "David has skills."
The video -- which has a heavy dance influence from the viral sensation "Gangnam Style" -- is upbeat and enthusiastic, and even features several GMC surgeons, White said.
In one scene, a surgeon steps out of a Jeep wearing shades, pushes one dancer out of the way and busts his own moves.
"It was cool seeing a lot of the surgeons outside of their element," Hoang said. "I would never have known how fun they were."
Hoang, who also breakdances in the video, said he got footage over the course of a week in the time around his typical 3 to 11 p.m. shift, then spent about 12 hours editing it. His work can be seen -- and voted on -- by visiting pinkglovedance.com and clicking on the "vote now" link to find Gwinnett Medical Center's name.
Votes require a Facebook account.
More than 260 hospitals had entered the competition as of Tuesday. GMC finished seventh in the nation in last year's contest.

Diane Sawyer is reportedly leaving ABC's Good Morning America show and will replace World News anchor Charles Gibson. Read more on Diane Sawyer below.
Sawyer will replace World News anchor Charles Gibson, who will be stepping down from his position at the end of this year. Diane, 63, will begin her new job at World News in January.
In a statement, ABC News President David Westin said that Sawyer "is the right person to succeed Charlie and build on what he has accomplished. She has an outstanding and varied career in television journalism, beginning with her role as a State Department correspondent and continuing at 60 Minutes, Primetime Live, and Good Morning America.
"She has interviewed every President since President George H. W. Bush up to and including President Obama. She has handled an array of breaking news special events, including on 9/11 and, most recently, the presidential election. She has done distinguished documentaries on topics as varied as North Korea, the plight of women in Afghanistan and in prisons here at home, and poverty in Camden, New Jersey, and in Appalachia.
"We are fortunate to have a journalist of Diane's proven ability and passion to step into the important position of anchor for World News. She will continue with her documentaries in her new role.
"Diane's presence will certainly be missed on Good Morning America," the statement concluded. "But we are fortunate that both Charlie and Diane will remain with their current broadcasts for the next four months; we will be making further announcements well before any changes are made.
Sawyer is now the second female to anchor an evening news show. Katie Couric left NBC's Today show in 2006 to anchor CBS Evening News.

I've always looked at love as a verb, an action word, something that is shown or demonstrated. I think sometimes we tend to minimize the concept of true love by treating it simply as a noun, something that you might possess or hold.
My grandfather taught me about what it really means to love someone. His generation had a different perspective on marriage. When people got married back then, it was a covenant before God and each other that "For better or for worse…" they were committed to one another. No matter how difficult things got, they stayed together and determined to make things work.
Today people get divorced for no other reason than they've "fallen out of love." No-fault divorce has become so rampant in our society that the institution of marriage sometimes takes on the appearance of a social networking program rather than a true commitment between two people to support and take care of each other through the good times as well as the bad.
My grandmother suffered from depression for many years and was not always the easiest person to live with. But my grandfather loved her. He was a humble, gentle man who worked by the sweat of his brow his entire life. He was a farmer, he was a storeowner, he was a steelworker, and he was a volunteer fireman. He was never wealthy, but he was wise and kind and he took his responsibility as a husband very seriously.
As my grandparents got older, grandma became very ill. She was bed-ridden and spent every day lying on her back in their tiny little bedroom. If she needed to use the bathroom, he would carry her from her bed to the bathroom and then back again. He would cook every meal for her and bring it to her. Eventually she began to lose her eyesight. She became more dependent on him even for discussion and entertainment. She could no longer watch television, or read. She would listen to the radio for hours and my grandfather would sit in his chair and talk with her or read her the newspaper, or other stories.
One day when I was visiting, he was so excited to show me this "new" invention that he'd discovered. It was a cordless telephone that he had just purchased. (The rest of us had been using them for years, but he hadn't been paying attention.) He showed me how he could now go outside and spend more time in the garden without worrying that he wouldn't hear grandma call from the bedroom. If she needed him, she could page him by pushing the little button on the base unit and his phone would beep. He had devised a cool little phone-holster that he could strap on his belt to carry the phone.
He cared for my elderly grandmother day and night. Keeping her company, ignoring her complaints, loving her regardless of her negativity and promising her that he would always take care of her.
Eventually it became difficult for him to walk, his hips were giving out and the doctors told him that he needed to have both hips replaced. He told me later that the hardest thing he'd ever done was tell my grandmother that he had to temporarily place her in an Elder-Care facility while he had his hip operations. He felt so much guilt over leaving her alone in an unfamiliar place that he rushed through his physical therapy in order to get her back home with him. He later told me that the day he brought her home was the happiest he'd seen her in years. "She was very kissy," he said, and they spent the next week together, with him sitting next to the bed keeping her company. She died a week later.
Marriage isn't only about the romance; it's also about the commitment. We are going to learn a lot about our spouse over the years we are married. We are going to know what makes them happy, we are going to know what causes them pain, and we are going to be able to choose daily which of those results we want to produce.

In an effort to streamline area traffic and efficiency at the Port of Los Angeles and Port of Long Beach, the Freight Advanced Traveler Information Program Demonstration Project, will go live on Wednesday.
This private and public collaborative effort funded by the U.S. DOT Research and Innovative Technology Administration will be tested for the next six months.
The Los Angeles-Gateway Cities Region and the private sector formed this partnership with the joint goal of reducing traffic congestion during peak hours by improving the information flow between truck fleets and port terminals. Real-time information will allow drivers and schedulers to reroute and reschedule according to current conditions in the port and on freeways and arterial highways.
The Demonstration Project partners include The Harbor Trucking Association, Port Logistics Group, and Yusen Terminals, Inc. The system development team is led by Cambridge Systematics utilizing specialized optimization software.
"FRATIS will demonstrate dynamic travel planning and new communications for freight movement in this region," says Michael J. Johnson, president of the Harbor Trucking Association and Port Logistics Group Director of Intermodal Operations. "By using Bluetooth proximity readers in and around the marine terminal in conjunction with dynamic routing, the system can communicate where congestion is to truckers and dispatchers. Using this information allows us to plan terminal visits in a way that can assist all parties in moving containers more efficiently."
At the conclusion of the six months of testing, the U.S. DOT will publish the results of an independent assessment that is being conducted for the project.
We offer e-newsletters that deliver targeted news and information for the entire fleet industry.

Amelia Island
Amelia Island is one of the southernmost of the Sea Islands, a chain of barrier islands that stretches along the east coast of the United States from South Carolina to Florida. It is 13 miles (21 km) long and approximately 4 miles (6 km) wide at its widest point. Amelia Island is situated off the coast in Nassau County, Florida, south of Cumberland Island, Georgia. Fernandina Beach and Amelia City are both located on the island.
Named for Princess Amelia, daughter of King George II, Amelia Island is also rich in history and tradition. Native American bands associated with the Timucuan mound-building culture settled on the island, which they called Napoyca, circa 1000. They would remain on Napoyca until the early 18th century.
Since then, the island has frequently changed possession and been under eight different flags – the only United States location to have done so.
French Flag
In 1562 French Huguenot explorer Jean Ribault becomes the first (recorded) European visitor to Napoyca and names it Isle de Mar.In 1565, Spanish forces led by Pedro Menendez de Aviles drive the French from northeastern Florida, slaughtering Ribault and approximately 350 other French colonists.
Spanish Flag
In 1573, Spanish Franciscans establish the Santa Maria mission on the island, which is named Isla de Santa Maria. The mission was abandoned in 1680 after the inhabitants refuse a Spanish order to relocate.
British raids force the relocation of the Santa Catalina de Guale mission on St. Catherine's Island, Georgia, to the abandoned Santa Maria mission on the Island in 1685.
In 1702, this mission was again abandoned when South Carolina's colonial governor, James Moore, leads a joint British-Indian invasion of Florida.
English Flag
Georgia's founder and colonial governor, James Oglethorpe, renames the island "Amelia Island" in honor of princess Amelia (1710-1786), King George IIdaughter, although the island was still a Spanish possession.
After establishing a small settlement on the northwestern edge of the island, Oglethorpe negotiates with Spanish colonial officials for a transfer of the island to British sovereignty. Colonial officials agree to the transfer, but the King of Spain nullifies the agreement.
The Treaty of Paris in 1763 ratifies Britain's victory in the Seven Years War, ceding Florida to Britain in exchange for Havana and nullifying all Spanish land grants in Florida. The Proclamation of 1763 established the St. Mary River as East Florida northeastern boundary.
Spanish Flag
In 1783, the Second Treaty of Paris ends the Revolutionary War and returns Florida to Spain. British inhabitants of Florida had to leave the province within 18 months unless they swore allegiance to Spain. Amelia Island was the final location of Santa Catalina de Guale, the main mission of Spanish Florida to the Guale chiefdom.In 1811, surveyor George J. F. Clarke plats the town of Fernandina, named in honor of King Ferdinand VII of Spain.
Patriot Flag
With the approval of President James Madison and Georgia Governor George Mathews in 1812-1813, insurgents known as the "Patriots of Amelia Island" seize the island. After raising a Patriot flag, they replace it with the United States Flag.
American gunboats under the command of Commodore Hugh Campbell maintain control of the island until Spanish pressure forces their evacuation in 1813. Spanish erect Fort San Carlos on the island in 1816.
Green Cross of Florida Flag
Led by Gregor MacGregor , a Scottish-born soldier of fortune, 55 musketeers seize Fort San Carlos, claiming the island on behalf of the "Green Cross" in june of 1817.In colonial history, it became known for an episode called the Amelia Island Affair.
Mexican Rebel Flag
Spanish soldiers force MacGregor's withdrawal, but their attempt to regain complete control is foiled by American irregulars organized by Ruggles Hubbard and former Pennsylvania congressman Jared Irwin.
Hubbard and Irwin later join forces with the French-born pirate Louis Aury, who lays claim to the island on behalf of the Republic of Mexico. U. S. Navy forces drive Aury from the island, and President James Monroevows to hold Amelia Island "in trust for Spain."
Confederate Flag
On January 8, 1861, two days before Florida secession, Confederate sympathizers (the Third Regiment of Florida Volunteers) take control of Fort Clinch, already abandoned by Federal workers who had been constructing the fort.
General Robert E. Lee visits Fort Clinch in November 1861 and again in January 1862, during a survey of coastal fortifications.
United States Flag
Union forces, consisting of 28 gunboats commanded by Commodore Samuel Dupont, restore Federal control of the island on March 3, 1862 and raise the American Flag.
It is host to the Isle of Eight Flags Shrimp Festival, the Amelia Island Jazz Festival, the Amelia Island Chamber Music Festival, the Amelia Island Film Festival, the Amelia Island Concours d'Elegance and the Amelia Island Blues Festival. Amelia Island was the main filming location for the 2002 John Sayles directed film Sunshine State. The New Adventures of Pippi Longstocking was also filmed there in 1988.
Amelia Island hosted a Women's Tennis Association tournament for 28 years (1980 to 2008). From 1987 to 2008 it was known as the Bausch & Lomb Championships.
In 2009-2011 Amelia Island also hosted the Pétanque America Open.

The Labrador retriever remained the most popular dog in the U-S last year. At least, that's what the American Kennel Club says.
It released its list of most popular breeds in 2012 and for the 22nd consecutive year the Lab has topped the list tying it with the poodle for the longest reign in the top spot.
German shepherd's earned second place on the list, followed by the golden retriever, the beagle and the bulldog.

What's your opinion on Unconditional Basic Income? (This is not Communism)
The Basic Income movement is one that is quickly gaining ground around the world. Both prominent right and left wing persons have given their support for this idea.
What's your thoughts on Basic Income, do you think it's a good idea?
EDIT: I forgot to mention (in case you haven't heard) that what sprout the movement was Switzerland's proposal for basic income ($2800 monthly). http://www.reuters.com/article/2013/10/04/us-swiss-pay-idUSBRE9930O620131004
EDIT 2: This is NOT meant as a universal cure for all the problems of the world, things like education, politics, corruption and deceases are separate issues (even though Basic Income might help with them) if you wish to solve those issues please join or start a conversation about those. However discussing them with respect of BI is very fine and encouraged.
Please try to NOT sway too far from the topic, which is "What's your opinion on Unconditional Basic Income?". Comments to others opinions are of course free to go far from the topic, but preferably not too far.
And please try to be constructive and mature in your comments to others on this conversation.
Also please read AT LEAST the provided Wikipedia article on Basic income as it will answer many questions posted here.
Thank you for reading this explanation...(?)
Closing Statement from Jimmy Strobl
Wow, thank you ALL for your contributions to this conversation!
There's no way that I'm going to be able to summarize what was said here.
But I do feel that people might be ready for this transition or at least they are able to be convinced that it is feasible.
Anyway, thank you all for your participation and sorry for the lack of response the last few days.

DON RANKINEDec 31 2013: Manishka, the inequity between the rich and the poor, both here at home and abroad, is appalling. When some families own multiple homes and others are living in cardboard boxes or make-shift shanties, it's astounding that we believe ourselves to be "good" Christians, Jews, Muslims, etc., or even Buddhists, who specifically espouse compassion.
Despite our apparent sophistication and endless technological advances, we are little removed, spiritually, from those early humans who abandoned their caves in what today we call Africa, and began travelling over the planet, and now beyond.
william clegg 10+Dec 31 2013: agreed Don. Most folks are still afraid of "others" while prejudices and arrogance run rampant through our cultures. However, in the current economic model dominating the world today a person's worth is based primarily on what they gain from their exchange of labour for wages and/or their wealth. A UBI offers the opportunity for a person's worth to be derived from how they contribute to their community and that is where the prejudices and arrogance can be undermined and even eliminated.
Jimmy Strobl 50+Jan 1 2014: Don,
I can't reply to you down there so I'll do it here.
I'm SO GLAD that we actually managed to sway one person who's initial reaction was against this by using reason and well founded arguments. You are the kind of person that brings me hope about the eventual success of UBI.
And I'd also like to add that when I first heard of the concept (about 8 months ago) I was also not persuaded that it was good, but the more research and the more debates I had the more of a proponent I became. Now, as you may have noticed, I'm somewhat of a crusader for UBI, maybe you will also be that in a year. :)
Jan 1 2014: I so agree Don! The same species that came up with all the inspiring philosophies and concepts is the same species that perpetrates the horrors of the world.
Funny you should mention Buddhists in this context. The closest thing I have to a hometown has a lot of Tibetan Buddhist refugees who've always been mild and modest actually demure is the best fitting for men and women both.
Then I see reports like this:
I just think that there's not enough recognition of our fellow humans as humans.
The thing that really stands out for me in this talk is when the winners of this obviously rigged monopoly game were asked to describe why they won, they listed their own actions. I was not surprised.
It reminds me of the people who give hardworking labels to rich people and lazy label to poor people.
But most of the land in the world is owned by someone. We can't just choose not to participate in the system. We were born. We have a right to survival.
A UBI is a message. To those that need it. To those that don't need it. "We survive together" "Worth" is concept applicable only internally as in self-worth. And when evaluating goods and services. Never to be directed at another human. This idea should have gone the way of slavery..... Oh wait that's still around too :(
Well anyway, glad to talk to you on TED!
Jan 1 2014: Manishka, here are a couple of entries of mine from the "Experience Project"
The First Shall Be Last
Refusing to contribute to the well-being of each other is creating a society in which the disenfranchised are no longer able to contribute to the well-being of the whole. This unwillingness to help one another is a downward spiral which may lead to the eventual collapse of our society. The formerly unassailable rich will also succumb as the support structure collapses.
Aug 22, 2009
Is Consumerism Consuming Us?
We have reached a point where we owe more than we produce, or can produce. We pay interest on interest for things we have purchased yet no longer want, yet we still shop for more stuff.
Also, we believe that it's wise to begin paying after we receive the stuff, and are still paying for it long after it has lost its usefulness or its allure.
Feb 9, 2009
Share The Wealth Which You Create.
Some would have us honor the rich, arguing that their wealth creates jobs. In fact, the rich are indebted to us, the producers and consumers, because we develop, produce, distribute, maintain and buy back the goods and services which we provide and which sustains their wealth. Without our continued cooperation in our dual roles of producer-consumer, there would be no more wealth for anybody. That we continue to do the 'heavy lifting', without receiving a more equitable share of the proceeds, is perplexing.
Oct 2, 2011
DON RANKINEJan 2 2014: Yes, Manishka, we are on the verge of a serious adjustment in the status quo, as worldwide awareness and concern over centuries-old social inequity continues to grow. This local, national and global imbalance has puzzled me since my youth as, despite the obvious fundamental disparities both at home and abroad, religious and social groups proselytized about our responsibility as our brothers' keepers.
After centuries of talking the talk, it's time to walk the walk.

Police say they have broken up a shoplifting ring targeting a New York Walmart store.
It happened on Christmas Eve in the Buffalo suburb of Clarence.
State Police say that Walmart officials had been investigating an ongoing scheme at the supercenter store on Transit Road.
Walmart said that several of its employees were "under-scanning" or "under-ringing" merchandise, to allow accomplices to go through the check-out lines and leave the store without paying for numerous items in their shopping bags.
They say employees were also activating gift cards when customers would purchase them but then keep the card and give the unsuspecting customer an unactivated card.
Evelyn Smith, 26, is under arrest on felony grand larceny charges. Police say she under-scanned merchandise and also posed as a customer and left the store with under-canned merchandise going through the cashier line of another member of the ring.
Tacara Lawrence, 21, faces felony grand larceny charges for under-scanning merchandise.
Dewayne Harrell, 22, was arrested on larceny charges for allegedly gift card theft.
Latasha Morrow, 19, was arrested on larceny charges. She is accused of leaving the Walmart store with merchandise that was initially scanned and then voided by a cashier involved with the ring.
Walmart estimated the suspects were responsible for $7,000 worth of theft. Police say the investigation is still ongoing and other arrests are expected.
The four will appear on a later date in a Clarence courtroom.

Humans love to stalk, to hunt, to devour. Many of the advancements humanity has found in the world have their roots in the desire to overpower another: weaponry, medicine, knowledge, these are all achievements which place humanity at the top of a quickly narrowing pyramid of superiority. We want nothing more than to know that we are at the top of the food chain.

If you're like me then you're still climaxing from the new "Season of the Witch" poster we talked about yesterday. Well get ready to reload because here's a new trailer for the Nic Cage flick. God I pray you're nothing like me, it's sad sad existence.
Great news for all you sickos who love looking at young Asian girls dressed up in school uniforms. "Battle Royale" looks to be finally making it's way to US theaters and in 3D no less. It's been ten years since the film warmed it's way into the hearts of deviants and it's about time that it was presented to the "hole in the bottom of the popcorn" crowd.
Courtney Ford will be joining the cast of next season's "True Blood". Ford will play a southern bell who owns her own law firm and I assume she'll end up screwing someone and turning into the Creature from the Black Lagoon.
Darren Lynn Bousman, the guy who's currently working on the "Mothers Day" remake is also working on a new film called "11-11-11". The film focuses on a bunch of people who have guardian angels and the rest of the plot confuses me and the fact that it's all based on a date on the calender already annoyed me. Oh and it'll be released on December 21st, 2012. I kid!
Alright we all agree that assaulting a cop is bad but just think about how much worse is it to assault a cop with a dildo. What makes it worse? Doing it after walking out on your bill at Joe's Crab Shack. You enjoyed those delicious crabs now you pay for them, asshole!
I'd love to make fun of this guy from Idaho but I really can't. He was arrested shortly after robbing an inn when police found him hiding out at the bar right next to the scene of the crime. People get thirsty, it happens.
2001 – In New York City, American Airlines Flight 587, an Airbus A300 en route to the Dominican Republic, crashes minutes after takeoff from John F. Kennedy International Airport, killing all 260 on board and five on the ground.
Would you like a sure sign that this new fangled 3D trend is going too far? Japanese studio Toei has announced that they are working on a 3D conversion for their classic "Battle Royale". No, not a remake; they're just planning on slapping some 3D effects onto the 10 year old film.
"Martyrs" director Pascal Laugier is bringing us his first US film entitled "The Tall Man", a woman in peril thriller in the vein of "Panic Room". He's bringing some star power with him as well as he has signed Jessica Biel as his leading lady.
Platinum Dunes making an original movie? Oh yes. Paramount, Platinum Dunes and Room 101 are teaming together to bring us a brand spanking new monster movie. Though there are no details of what kind of monster they plan on bringing to life, we are told that Mark L. Smith penned script is reminiscent of such films as "I am Legend", "Aliens" and "Descent".
Kurt Russell plan on scaring us once again as he signs on for the thriller "Undying", playing Virgial, a private investigator lured into a dark an surreal underworld by the mysterious Delia. With a script penned by Greg Whitta and directed by Jon Amiel, this could be a spooky little treat.
A Thai protester thought it would be a good idea to use a laser pointer on a group of Thai soldiers. Too bad for him, they mistook it for a laser sight and blew his head off in exchange.
Cryonics company Alcor has won a court battle after a judge orders a family to dig up their father so they could freeze his head, as per his wishes. Unfortunately, even though Alcor says that the man's head is no longer optimal for the freezing process due to decomposition, they figured they'd go ahead and take the issue to court anyways.
1965 - Magazine "The Nation" publishes Hunter S. Thompson's first-hand experiences with the Hell's Angels motorcycle club. The bikers would eventually stomp Thompson when they demanded payment for his time spent.

A movie that has the crew conflicted.

CHALDOVAR, Kyrgyzstan -- An American military refueling plane carrying three crew members crashed Friday in the rugged mountains of Kyrgyzstan, the Central Asian nation where the U.S. operates an air base key to the war in Afghanistan.
The plane was a KC-135 from McConnell Air Force Base in Wichita. However, the Air Force told Florida Congressman C.W. Bill Young the three member crew was from Fairchild Air Force Base according to the CBS affiliate in Kansas.
There was no word on the fate of the KC-135 crew as darkness fell and the search for them was suspended for the night. Cargo planes do not have ejector seats. Officials at the U.S. base said they had no information yet on the cause of the crash.
A large portion of troops deployed to the Air Force base are stationed at Fairchild Air Force Base in Spokane. A pilot, co-pilot and boom operator were on board. Officials said approximately 130-150 people are deployed from Fairchild to Kyrgyzstan at any given time.
The plane crashed at 2:55 p.m. near Chaldovar, a village 100 miles (160 kilometers) west of the U.S. Transit Center at Manas base outside the Kyrgyz capital, Bishkek. Pieces of the plane, including its tail, were scattered across in a grassy field bordered by mountains; the air was infused with the heavy stench of fuel.
The plane was on a refueling mission for Afghanistan war operations at the time of the crash, a U.S. defense official in Washington said, speaking anonymously because he was not authorized to discuss the details of an ongoing investigation.
According to the Air Force's Web site, the mission of the aircraft as:
"The KC-135 Stratotanker provides the core aerial refueling capability for the United States Air Force and has excelled in this role for more than 50 years. This unique asset enhances the Air Force's capability to accomplish its primary mission of global reach. It also provides aerial refueling support to Air Force, Navy, Marine Corps and allied nation aircraft. The KC-135 is also capable of transporting litter and ambulatory patients using patient support pallets during aeromedical evacuations."
The front section of the aircraft has not yet been found, Kyrgyz Emergencies Minister Kubatbek Boronov told The Associated Press. He said searchers also have not found the flight recorders from the plane, which was badly burned in the crash.
The search for the crew will resume Saturday morning and the crash site will remain under guard, Boronov said.
One resident of the agricultural and sheep-grazing area said the plane exploded in flight.
"I was working with my father in the field, and I heard an explosion. When I looked up at the sky I saw the fire. When it was falling, the plane split into three pieces," Sherikbek Turusbekov told an AP reporter at the site.
The U.S. base, which is adjacent to Manas International Airport outside Bishkek, was established in late 2001 to support the international military campaign in Afghanistan. It functions as an interim point for troops going into or out of Afghanistan and as a home for the tanker planes that refuel warplanes in flight.

Zakopalova Escapes Upset on Day 1 in Bogotá
Published February 16, 2009 12:00
BOGOTÁ, Colombia - Although the skies opened up in the afternoon, several matches were completed at the Copa Sony Ericsson Colsanitas on Monday, with the only seed in action - Klara Zakopalova - making it through her first round match in a nail-biter.
Zakopalova, seeded fifth, was up against Romina Oprandi, an Italian who has spent time in the Top 50 before but has finished the last two seasons ranked outside of the Top 200. She seemed to be in her form of old, however, taking the first set handily and staying ahead for most of the second set, even holding two match points - one at 6-5 in the set and another at 6-5 in the tie-break. She even served for the match at 5-4 in the third, but Zakopalova hung tough every time, securing the two-hour, 42-minute win in a third set tie-break, 36 76(7) 76(5).
The other two matches saw Romania's Edina Gallovits steamrolling past Czech Barbora Zahlavova Strycova, 62 62, and Petra Cetkovska winning an all-Czech battle with Sandra Zahlavova, 75 62.
Johanna Larsson, Tzipora Obziler, Katalin Marosi and Tamaryn Hendler all secured main draw berths with wins in the final round of qualifying.
The first doubles match of the week also took the court, as second seeds Gisela Dulko and Flavia Pennetta beat Patricia Mayr and Masa Zec Peskiric, 62 63.
A slew of matches were pushed to Tuesday due to the rain that began falling hard around 2:30pm, making Day 2's schedule even more packed than it already would have been. The other seven seeds in the draw - No.1 seed Pennetta, No.2 seed Carla Suárez Navarro, No.3 seed Dulko, No.4 seed and defending champion Nuria Llagostera Vives, No.6 seed Mathilde Johansson, No.7 seed María José Martínez Sánchez and No.8 seed Lourdes Domínguez Lino - all play first rounds.

Seeing with sound
May 31, 2001
In 1999, median annual earnings for diagnostic medical sonographers were $42,330.
The middle 50 percent of diagnostic medical sonographers earned between $36,780 and $50,230 per year. The lowest 10 percent earned less than $31,190 and the highest 10 percent earned more than $56,030.
Diagnostic medical sonographers use special equipment to direct high-frequency sound waves into areas of a patient's body. Sonographers operate the equipment, which collects reflected echoes and forms an image that may be videotaped, transmitted, or photographed for interpretation and diagnosis by a physician.
These data are a product of the Occupational Employment Statistics program. For additional information, see "Diagnostic medical sonographers: seeing with sound," by Alan Lacey in the Occupational Outlook Quarterly, Summer 2001. Note about the chart: deciles divide the dataset into 10 equal-size groups and quartiles divide the dataset into 4 equal-size groups.

Telling the story, both musically and lyrically, is what I find most exciting and galvanizing as a performer," Karen Oberlin recently said in an interview. Hailed as one of premier interpreters of the Great American Songbook by both the New York Times and London's Classical Source, 2013 brought Oberlin both the Mabel Mercer Foundation's most prestigious Donald F. Smith Award and an Honorary Doctorate in Music from Dix Hills Performing Arts Center/Five Towns College. Previously a winner of Nightlife, Bistro, and MAC Awards, Karen Oberlin very recently returned from her second annual triumphant week-long engagement at London's most exquisite cabaret club, the Crazy Coqs at Brasserie Zedel. She received her third and fourth rave reviews from the New York Times for her week at Feinstein's at the Regency and her three-week engagement at the legendary Oak Room at the Algonquin Hotel, with Stephen Holden writing "Beyond having a lovely voice, poise and interpretive insight, Ms. Oberlin has impeccable classic pop style (and) musical intelligence." Rex Reed, in the New York Observer, called her recent performance "thrilling," and continued, "Oberlin is as lovely to look at as she is to hear -- subtle, elegant and musically spot on. She's a keeper!" The music critic for The Nation, David Yaffe, says Ms. Oberlin "reaches into the minds and muses of our golden repertoire to teach us, dazzle us, and send us to a Tin Pan Alley nirvana, as deep as the ocean and high as the sky. She is truly a marvel." Along with the Algonquin and Feinstein's, she has appeared at major New York venues such as Jazz at Lincoln Center, The Town Hall, Iridium Jazz Club, Merkin Hall and The Metropolitan Room, among others. Nationally, she has performed at Guild Hall in the Hamptons, The Ordway Theatre in St. Paul, The Prince Theatre in Philadelphia, and the Royal Room at the Colony Palm Beach, to name a few. She has three critically-acclaimed recordings on the Miranda Music label, including "Secret Love: The Music of Doris Day" and a live recording at the Algonquin's Oak Room, and a will have a new duo CD with virtuosic guitarist Sean Harkness due for release in February 2014. She can be heard on a number of compilations, including the newly discovered musical by Duke Ellington and Herb Martin, "Renaissance Man," in the all-star CD version, "Secret Ellington" (True Life), which featured Joe Lovano, Grover Washington, Jr., and Freddy Cole, among others.
Ms. Oberlin appeared in more than 100 Off-Broadway performances of the smash-hit show "Our Sinatra," and has performed her own shows nationally and abroad, including her recent appearances in Paris and London. She had the honor of being part of the first-ever Cabaret Conventions in both Philadelphia and the Hamptons and has performed in the New York shows at both Jazz at Lincoln Center and at Town Hall, where she was also featured in the Broadway By The Year series at Town Hall. Along with playing Maureen in the first staged incarnation of the now-legendary Broadway show, "Rent," Ms. Oberlin has also held lead roles at such prestigious theatres as the North Carolina Theatre, the Palace Theatre in Louisville, among others. She has appeared as a professional actress in everything from Shakespeare to national commercials, including playing a recurring nurse on "All My Children" and can been seen in both independent and feature films. She also enjoyed being part of a professional a cappella group called "Where's The Band?" for many years.
Ms. Oberlin has a deep background in classical music, jazz, cabaret, theater and musical theater. The granddaughter of Vaudevillians and the youngest daughter of two classical musicians, she often performed and competed in classical singing events and performed steadily in theater, musical and otherwise, growing up in Central New York. As a child she played piano and flute, and cello in the county orchestra, performed in her first role in an opera at age six, and as a teen led a few local rock and new-wave bands. Since then she has performed continuously and trained extensively, graduating from the Circle In The Square Professional Workshop Broadway theatre conservatory in New York after receiving her B.A. in English Literature. New York City led Ms. Oberlin to jazz and deepened her appreciation for the Great American Songbook. She has studied voice for more than twenty years, and she teaches master classes in acting, singing and interpreting song, and has mentored and directed a number of aspiring song interpreters, as she is deeply committed to the future of cabaret and masterful song interpretation. Ms. Oberlin is a dedicated yogi, a very happy mother and stepmother, and is married to the writer David Hajdu.
