Going Solo: The Extraordinary Rise and Surprising Appeal of Living Alone

More than 30% of the world's population lives alone, and that percentage is growing daily. How is this profound demographic shift transforming the economic and cultural life of cities around the globe?

Join NYU sociologist Eric Klinenberg, the author of Going Solo: The Extraordinary Rise and Surprising Appeal of Living Alone (Penguin, 2012), and Jerilyn Perine, Director of the Citizens Housing and Planning Council, for a discussion about the rise of single adults in New York, Paris, Tokyo, and other world metropolises-- and its implications for urban life as (we think) we know it today.

Today is Martin Luther King Day and President Obama's second term inauguration.

A letter opener may have changed history. Martin Luther King Jr. would have died long before the “I Have a Dream” speech if the woman who attacked him in a Harlem department store in 1958 had been armed with an automatic pistol instead of the sharpened letter opener she plunged into his chest.

A NYPD officer stopped a panicked onlooker who was reaching to pull it from King's chest.

The NYPD officer told King not to cough or sneeze or even speak as they lifted him onto a chair and began to carry him out through a back exit and rushed him to Harlem hospital. The doctor reported that the blade had been a hair’s breadth from King’s aorta. The slightest motion would likely have made the wound fatal.

“By our readiness to allow arms to be purchased at will and fired at whim, by allowing our movie and television screens to teach our children that the hero is one who masters the art of shooting and the technique of killing, by allowing all these developments, we have created an atmosphere in which violence and hatred have become popular pastimes,” Martin Luther King Jr.

The ceremony will begin with a performance by the P.S. 22 chorus from Staten Island, and the Brooklyn Tabernacle will sing just before Vice President Biden is sworn in - by Bronx-born Supreme Court Associate Justice Sonia Sotomayor.

The latest luxury Apartments Condos  for Sale or Rent in Central Harlem are in a building called “Windows on 123,” and they stand out as the cream of the crop. This Manhattan real estate has a style all its own.

Happy Birthday to the King of Pop Michael Jackson from Feng Shui LI

No one can deny the power and influence Michael Jackson had on the world when it came to music and natural rhythm.  He was a perfectionist when it came to writing and composing his work. Every note, beat, sound, dance move and word needed to be absolutely perfect.  Michael Jackson also made sure to include lessons and messages into his songs, which we have lost in today's 'music.' Except for a handful.

Thank you, Michael for transforming the sound of music the way we move our bodies.
