  • WORST COOKS in AMERICA: CELEBRITY EDITION Contestant Bios
    Press Contact: Lauren Sklar Phone: 646-336-3745; Email: [email protected] WORST COOKS IN AMERICA: CELEBRITY EDITION Contestant Bios MINDY COHN Mindy Cohn made her acting debut as the witty, precious Eastland Academy student Natalie Green in the hit comedy series The Facts of Life. She was discovered while attending Westlake School for Girls in Bel Air, California, when actress Charlotte Rae and producer Norman Lear came to the school to authenticate scripts for their new show. Ms. Rae was so taken with the vivacious eighth grader she convinced producers to create a role for her. Mindy remained on the show for all nine seasons, also traveling to Paris and Australia with her co-stars to produce two successful television movies based on the series. Concurrently, with her role in Facts, Mindy played “Rose Jenko” in Fox’s 21 Jump Street. Other notable television appearances included Diff’rent Strokes, Double Trouble, Charles in Charge, Dream On and Suddenly Susan. In 1983, Mindy appeared in her first professional stage performance in Table Settings, written and directed by James Lapine and filmed for HBO Television. The illustrious cast included Eileen Heckart, Stockard Channing, Robert Klein, Peter Riegart, and Dinah Manoff. She went on to make her feature film debut in The Boy Who Could Fly, which co-starred Colleen Dewhurst, Fred Gwynne and Fred Savage. Mindy took a hiatus from her career to attend university, where she earned a Bachelor’s degree in Cultural Anthropology and a Masters in Education. During this time, she studied improvisation and scene work with Gary Austin and Larry Moss.

  • Psaudio Copper
    Issue 116 JULY 27TH, 2020 “Baby, there’s only two more days till tomorrow.” That’s from the Gary Wilson song, “I Wanna Take You On A Sea Cruise.” Gary, an outsider music legend, expresses what many of us are feeling these days. How many conversations have you had lately with people who ask, “what day is it?” How many times have you had to check, regardless of how busy or bored you are? Right now, I can’t tell you what the date is without looking at my Doug the Pug calendar. (I am quite aware of that big “Copper 116” note scrawled in the July 27 box though.) My sense of time has shifted and I know I’m not alone. It’s part of the new reality and an aspect maybe few of us would have foreseen. Well, as my friend Ed likes to say, “things change with time.” Except for the fact that every moment is precious. In this issue: Larry Schenbeck finds comfort and adventure in his music collection. John Seetoo concludes his interview with John Grado of Grado Labs. WL Woodward tells us about Memphis guitar legend Travis Wammack. Tom Gibbs finds solid hits from Sophia Portanet, Margo Price, Gerald Clayton and Gillian Welch. Anne E. Johnson listens to a difficult instrument to play: the natural horn, and digs Wanda Jackson, the Queen of Rockabilly. Ken hits the road with progressive rock masters Nektar. Audio shows are on hold? Rudy Radelic prepares you for when they’ll come back. Roy Hall tells of four weddings and a funeral.

    Family Magazine, Fall 2008 Artistry of the Guard Fall 2008 STANHOPE S. SPEARS MAJOR GENERAL THE ADJUTANT GENERAL From the Desk of The Adjutant General I recently had the honor of presenting Mr. Craig Melvin with The Palmetto Patriot Award for his demonstrated commitment to telling the S.C. National Guard story. Many of you in the Midlands are familiar with his fair and balanced ational reporting as an anchor here in Columbia with N WIS-TV. Craig’s been a leader in reporting on all aspects of our Citizen-Soldiers and Airmen, their families and employers throughout our nation’s Global War on Terrorism. Even though Craig istorian recently left his anchor position at WIS for a H new position in Washington, D.C., he was quick hoto by Maj. Scott Bell, S.C. to tell me he will never forget the Soldiers and P Guard families of the S.C. National Guard. I feel Craig’s sentiment was sincere. Our Citizen-Soldiers are the best this nation has to give and I hope he will continue telling his audiences about the selfless, patriotic character of our Soldiers and Airmen in the National Guard. Concerning your selflessness, my wife Dot and I thank you from the bottom of our hearts for the tremendous outpouring of love, support and prayers you have shared with us following the loss of our son Stan, Jr. to a heart attack. We appreciate your kindness more than you know. As this year’s hurricane season starts to heat up, I hope everyone will take the time to review the Family Emergency Kit information on page four of this magazine.

Yetman _________________________________ Robert J. Antonio _________________________________ Joane Nagel _________________________________ Ben Chappell Date Approved: 30 August 2010 ii ABSTRACT This dissertation examines the emotional labor of Army wives as they volunteer in Army-mandated family-member support groups in each unit called Family Readiness Groups (FRGs). Since its inception, the Army has relied unofficially on soldiers’ wives’ contributions to the success of their husbands’ careers in a two-for-one career pattern—two workers for one paycheck. The Army made such expectations official when in 1988 it began to require volunteer labor to run each unit’s FRG. The Army tasks FRGs with connecting members to resources and relaying official information to soldiers’ family members. These support groups also serve a vital socializing function, though not all soldiers’ spouses participate in the information-dispensing and community-building groups.
