Biographical Brief – Mika Brzezinski
 Mika Brzezinski was born in New York City, the daughter of Zbigniew Brzezinski and sculptor Emilie Anna Benešová. Her father was a professor at Columbia University before being named National Security Advisor to President Jimmy Carter.
Ms. Brzezinski attended The Madeira School during her high-school years. She graduated in 1989 from Williams College in Williamstown, Massachusetts, where she majored in English, after transferring from Georgetown University as a junior. Since 1993, Ms. Brzezinski has been married to TV news reporter James Hoffer. They have two children
.
Ms. Brzezinski began her journalism career as an assistant at ABC`s World News This Morning in 1990. A year later, she moved to FOX affiliate WTIC-TV/WTIC-DT in Hartford, Connecticut. There, she progressed from assignment and features editor to general assignments reporter. In 1992, she joined CBS affiliate WFSB-TV/WFSB-DT in Hartford and quickly rose through the ranks to become its weekday morning anchor in 1995. In 1997, she left that role to join the CBS network news, where she served as a correspondent and as anchor for the overnight Up to the Minute news program.
In 2000, Ms. Brzezinski began a short hiatus from CBS, during which she worked for rival MSNBC on the weekday afternoon show, Home Page, with co-anchors Gina Gaston and Ashleigh Banfield. She returned to CBS as a correspondent in September 2001, which thrust her into the limelight as a principal "Ground Zero" reporter for the September 11, 2001 attacks. Ms. Brzezinski was broadcasting live from the scene when the South Tower collapsed.
In her last position at CBS, she served as a CBS News correspondent, substitute anchor, and segment anchor for breaking news segments and routine updates. During this period she was a frequent contributor to CBS Sunday Morning and "60 Minutes."
Ms. Brzezinski returned to MSNBC on January 26, 2007, doing the evening "Up To The Minute" news updates. Since then she has anchored primetime newsbreaks during the week, filling in on MSNBC Live weekdays and on the weekends. Brzezinski appears daily as a co-host and news reader on MSNBC`s morning program, with her father as a frequent guest Morning Joe.
On June 26, 2007, near the beginning of Morning Joe, Ms. Brzezinski refused to read a report about Paris Hilton`s release from jail. One hour later during another news break segment, her producer Andy Jones again pushed the story as the lead, ranking it over Republican Senator Richard Lugar of Indiana`s break with President Bush on the Iraq war, which Ms. Brzezinski considered more important. After several sarcastic remarks from host Joe Scarborough, she attempted to light the story`s script on fire on the air, but was physically prevented from doing so. The incident was quickly popularized on the Internet, and in the days that followed Brzezinski received large quantities of fan mail supporting her on-air protest as a commentary on the tension between “hard news” and “entertainment news.”
On September 16, 2008 on MSNBC`s morning program, Morning Joe, Arizona senator John McCain, the Republican nominee for president, referred to Ms. Brzezinski as being "a supporter for (the Democratic nominee, Barack) Obama" and ribbed her for never visiting Senator McCain`s website to research his side of the issues. Reviewing the episode, Ms. Brzezinski said: "I think he was kidding, to an extent. But I think that was bad joke in some ways because it`s a little bit hard for a journalist to be made fun of in that way. ... No one has been more defensive about Sarah Palin as a working mother than me and I`ve taken on my own peers."
More recently, she criticized the way some journalists are infatuated with President Obama and his wife Michelle, stating "I still don’t think it’s right to be in love with him ... and to be acting like a little girl at a Beatles concert.” At the same time, she criticized members of the media elite with trying deliberately to "bring down" Sarah Palin: "Members of the network media elite, as well as members and people who worked for the New York Times when Sarah Palin first came on the scene, and this is what they knew about her: She was a woman, she was pro-life, and she had some very, very conservative views on other issues" ...And all I could hear from my friends in the network media elite was, ‘Let’s bring her down. I hope these rumors bring her down`. . . . They did not know her. They didn’t know anything about her. But they wanted to bring her down.” She has continued her support for Governor Palin even after her resignation, saying she represented the views of "some real Americans, though not herself." |

Biographical Brief – John McDermott
 “Legend” is not a title John McDermott would readily embrace, but his accomplishments have become legendary in recording industry lore. He calls Toronto and Boston home, but he has also found a home as an international recording star and household name – known as much for his successful musical career as for his commitment to veterans’ causes. He is a long way from the man for whom singing was a hobby less than ten years ago. John was discovered quite by chance, when working as a circulation sales representative for the Toronto Sun, he belted out an impromptu rendition of “Danny Boy” at a company party.
“I grew up singing, but I thought everybody grew up singing. My dad and mom introduced us to music early on, and all of the McDermott kids could unleash a verse or two of ‘Scotland the Brave’ or ‘Green Isle of Erin’ on command. My song was ‘Danny Boy,’ and I sang it with pride, because even as a kid I knew what a powerful and emotive song it was.”
John’s first album, Danny Boy, was originally recorded as a very private and personal 50th anniversary tribute for his parents. Its quality could not be ignored and it eventually found its way into the hands of EMI Music Canada. Danny Boy subsequently garnered strong sales for a debut release in the U.S. and Canada; it even reached number one on New Zealand’s album charts, and was certified double platinum in that country. This success, in addition to a fast growing North American fan base, won through a tireless touring schedule, led to his participation in the PBS phenomenon, The Irish Tenors. John’s presence helped generate a US gold record, three US tours, and a high-profile media schedule, which included appearances on ‘Good Morning America’ and ‘The Today Show.’
The outcome of that fateful performance has catapulted him into a musical career that includes three Canadian platinum records, five Juno nominations (Canada’s equivalent of the Grammy), and a solid international touring schedule. In November 2001, John taped “John McDermott – A Time to Remember” at the Living Arts Centre outside Toronto. This, his first solo television special, began airing in March 2002 on PBS affiliates across North America. Always a generous performer and mentor to emerging artists, John shared the stage and screen with a huge cast, including explosive music and dance troupe, Chanda Gibson and Pulse, and Cape Breton Celtic prodigies, The Cottars.
   
His success has allowed him to express his commitment to veteran’s causes, which have always been integral to John and an important theme in his music. He is a recipient of one the United State’s highest honours – the Congressional Medal of Honor Society’s “Bob Hope Award.”
John’s early 2003 release, Great Is Thy Faithfulness, as the title suggests, is a tribute to his faith that had been a work-in-progress since 1970, yielding 17 beautiful songs that range in recording from 1565 through to 2003. Late 2003 album, Stories of Love, showcased his interpretation of the classic Frank Albert Sinatra & Antonio Carlos Jobim bossa nova canon of songs. It included such favourites as “Girl from Ipanema” and “(In The) Wee Small Hours (Of The Morning).” “I have always wanted to do this material in a manner that would present the beauty of the lyric and melody, here it is,” says John
In 2004 John released two compilations of his favourite traditional songs from Ireland and Scotland. Songs of the Isles Ireland and Songs of the Isles Scotland were both released on John’s own Bunnygee label.
In March 2005, John recorded Just Plain Folk live at the Glenn Gould Studio in Toronto. Just Plain Folk is dedicated to the folk music genre and collects songs from that evening’s performance, along with songs John has recorded over the past few years with fellow guest artists but have not been released until now. Legendary folk artist Michael Smith performs with John on the release. Smith’s resume includes over 30 artists from Suzy Bogguss to Jimmy Buffet that have cut or performed his tunes and it became safe to assume that, “if Michael Smith has written a song, someone else has played or recorded it.”
Later that year, John released Images of Christmas with John McDermott and Friends. This holiday themed album featured John performing duets with artists such as Ron Sexsmith, Colette Baron-Reid, Murry McLauchlan, Marc Jordon, and Jason Fowler among others, as well as songs performed by Cindy Church, Lawrence Gowan, Shaye, Amy Sky, Glass Tiger and Tom Cochrane.
John has continued to keep busy, re-teaming with The Irish Tenors for a well-received tour and the 2005 album, Sacred, on Razor & Tie Records. In 2006 he released a Greatest Hits package, Timeless Memories, on EMI and, Legacy of the Patriot, on his own Bunnygee imprint.
In early 2007 he released, On a Whim, featuring the songs of Ron Sexsmith. The result is a beautiful collaboration, co-produced by the artists, that melds John’s signature vocals with Ron Sexsmith’s critically acclaimed songwriting style.
Last fall John toured to support his new Christmas CD and DVD John McDermott & Friends Sharing Christmas. The DVD was broadcast as a special on Dec 18th, 2007 on CBC TV. The tour ran for most of December and featured special guests at several of the shows.
This year John marks the 2008 season with special guest, Australian Folk superstar Eric Bogle.
John McDermott is an artist whose sense of respect for tradition and understanding of the sentiment behind the music resonates worldwide.
