Katherine A. McDonough(born 1950) is the Editor of ”’TheCityCook.com”’, a web-based resource for urban home cooks. She owns and produces the web site with her husband, [[Emmy Award]]-winning filmmaker Mark Dichter, who takes all photographs for the site and produces its podcast audio features.

==Education and Early Career==

Born in [[Lawrence, Massachusetts]], McDonough is a graduate of Presentation of Mary Academy in [[Methuen, Massachusetts]](1968), [[Boston University]](B.S., 1972) and [[Harvard University]] from which she received a Master in city and regional planning from The [[Graduate School of Design]](1977).

McDonough began her career in [[Boston]] (1969) at [[WBUR-FM]], an NPR station, as the associate producer of a radio drama produced by The [[Corporation For Public Broadcasting]](1970). In 1972 she joined [[WCVB-TV]], the ABC affiliate, where she was a [[Peabody Award]]-winning producer of news and public affairs programs.<ref>”Peabody Award Winners”. (n.d.) Retrieved on October 1, 2008 from http://www.peabody.uga.edu/winners/details.php?id=674</ref> She left [[WCVB-TV]] in 1975 to attend graduate school. In 1976, while still completing her graduate studies, she joined The New England Regional Commission, comprised of the Governors of the the six New England states(Connecticut, Maine, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Rhode Island and Vermont) and a Co-Chairman appointed by the President of the United States, as the Commission’s Special Assistant for Public Affairs. Two years later (1978) she continued her work in the area of regional economic development but from the perspective of the private sector by becoming the Vice President of Programs for The New England Council, a six-state economic development organization based in [[Boston]] and [[Washington, DC]].

In 1981 McDonough joined [[Citicorp]](later[[Citigroup]]) in the Office of the Chairman, [[Walter Wriston]], widely regarded as the single most influential commercial banker of his time.<ref>Walter B. Wriston. (2008, September 18). In Wikipedia, The Free Encyclopedia. Retrieved 17:40, October 1, 2008, from http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Walter_B._Wriston&oldid=239291774</ref> Her responsibility was to develop programs and communications to improve service quality throughout Citicorp’s aggressively growing global businesses. As a Vice President she worked with consumer, corporate and other institutional banking businesses around the world to help improve the consumer experience. After four years with [[Citibank]], she was able to bring together her background in communications, economic development, public affairs and financial services by joining Adams & Rinehart, Inc., a private corporate and financial public relations firm, to lead their relationship with [[Manufacturers Hanover Corporation]] and other financial clients. She remained with Adams & Rinehart from 1985 to 1991, becoming the firm’s first woman Managing Director and a member of its operating committee. Adams & Rinehart was later sold to [[Ogilvy & Mather]],<ref>(1986). Ogilvy To Buy Adams & Rinehart. ”The New York Times”. Retrieved October 1, 2008, from http://query.nytimes.com/gst/fullpage.html?res=9A0DE3DB1F3AF93AA15756C0A960948260#</ref> which soon thereafter became owned by [[WPP]], Inc.,<ref>WPP Group. (2008, September 30). In Wikipedia, The Free Encyclopedia. Retrieved 18:04, October 1, 2008, from http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=WPP_Group&oldid=242083246</ref> the global advertising enterprise.

In 1991 McDonough joined [[Barnes & Noble, Inc.]], the book retailing company, as Vice President of Public Affairs. She was with the firm for about a year, a time of transition in her career that led to her launching McDonough & Associates, a financial communications and public relations firm whose clients included [[Lazard]], [[Oppenheimer Funds]], [[Standard & Poor’s]], [[Chemical Bank]], Dime Bancorp, [[NYCE]], [[Manulife Financial]], and other leading financial companies, as well as other industry leaders including [[Perry Ellis International]], [[Barnes & Noble]], and Carolina Herrera, Ltd. She sold McDonough & Associates to [[Omnicom]] Group, Inc. in 2000.<ref>Elliot, Stuart. (1997). Agencies Make Three Acquisitions. ”The New York Times”. Retrieved on October 1, 2008, from http://query.nytimes.com/gst/fullpage.html?res=9B05E4DB1F39F93AA35752C0A961958260</ref>

==How A Corporate Career Led to Creating The City Cook==

Throughout these years, McDonough always cooked. In 2002, she achieved a long-held dream and attended The French Culinary Institute in Manhattan, completing the 110-hour ‘La Technique’ course for serious amateurs. Her other food and cooking studies have included classes with [[Marcella Hazan]], the late Jack Ubaldi, and Faith Willinger in Florence. She also studies food writing with Alan Richman, the [[James Beard]] award-winning writer and restaurant critic.

In 2005, a chance encounter with a woman in the produce aisle of the Manhattan mega-grocer, Fairway, gave McDonough the idea to create TheCityCook.com. The woman was in a panic to buy the ingredients for a major holiday but she didn’t know how to buy an onion.<ref>The City Cook Welcome, Retrieved on October 1, 2008, from http://www.thecitycook.com/about/welcome</ref> McDonough saw herself and millions of others in that woman — someone who wants to cook, is willing to take chances and try new recipes, but is challenged by buying ingredients, menu planning, and fitting the daily task of cooking into over-committed urban lives.

After two years of development, Kate launched TheCityCook.com in February 2007. It contains a vetted list of more than 360 New York food merchants, recipes for weekday and weekend cooking, ideas for entertaining in small city apartments, information about urban food resources and trends, and most of all – advocacy to cook at home.

In 2008 The City Cook, Inc. received a trademark for its brand name and its friendly kitchen skyline logo, meeting the rigorous criteria of the [[U.S. Patent and Trademark Office]].

==Other Responsibilities and Interests==

In addition to her love of cooking, McDonough loves New York and is a passionate [[urbanist]]. In 2006 she was appointed by Manhattan Borough President [[Scott Stringer]] and New York City Council Speaker [[Christine Quinn]] to be a member of Community Board 5, New York City’s Midtown community board. She sits on Community Board 5’s Land Use and Zoning and Transportation Committees<ref>Land Use and Zoning. (n.d.). Retrieved October 1, 2008, from http://www.cb5.org/comm_land.php4</ref> and is also the Co-Chair of the Community Advisory Committee to the New York State development of Moynihan Station.

A life-long music fan and an amateur pianist, she has also studied music theory at [[Mannes College]] in New York and is a piano student of Eugenia Ostrovsky.

McDonough and her husband, Mark Dichter, live in Manhattan.

Chicago Better Housing Association.

Chicago Better Housing Association.: “

Alexnia: Added {{[[Template:primarysources|primarysources]]}}, {{[[Template:refimprove|refimprove]]}} and {{[[Template:uncategorized|uncategorized]]}} tags to article. using [[WP:FRIENDLY|Friendly]]

{{primarysources|date=October 2008}}
{{refimprove|date=October 2008}}
The Chicago Better Housing Association was created by Kenny B Smith and his wife Karen to turn vacant and blighted housing lots into community parks, to beautify the Chicago neighborhoods and increase property values. The CBHA gained momentum with a $100k Illinois housing grant to create a botanic garden out of a vacant lot in South Side Englewood as a demonstration project. The CBHA was subsequently awarded an additional $20k supplemental in 2007 at the request of Illinois State Senator [[Barak Obama]].

The ‘Englewood Botanic Garden Project’ was announced at a January 2000 news conference at Englewood High School. The garden was to be ‘an oasis of trees and paths’ instead of a vacant lot full of weeds and garbage under the mass transit (so-called ‘[[L]]’) tracks between 59th Place and 62nd Place. Organizers promised to raise $1.1 million for this and similar lots. The garden site is situated near where Smith was developing affordable housing.

In 2008, an investigative news article discovered that very little work had been done by CBHA. Trash and dead trees had been removed, but construction had not begun on the designed garden space. ‘The only noticeable improvement is a gazebo.’ <ref=http://www.suntimes.com/news/watchdogs/1184049,CST-NWS-watchdog25.article>

Attorney General Lisa Madigan is investigating the financial transactions related to the grant. Particularly troubling was that the expenses were limited to $65k in salary payments for Karen D. Smith, the wife of founder Kenny B Smith, and $20k paid to KD Construction (which is owned by Karen D. Smith, but has since ceased operations).

A ”’free-bass system”’ is a system of bass buttons on accordions, arranged to give the [[performer#music|performer]] greater access to playing melodies on the left-hand manual of the instrument, and to forming ones own chords. Various systems are in use.

Free-bass systems are a historically recent development in accordion technology. Various free-bass systems are in use. Versions are alleged to have been first introduced by the [[Hohner]] company in 1912. Some ”converter” accordions have a switch to convert between a Stradella bass/chord and a free-bass system. Accordions that use this principle of switching between two left-hand systems are not yet as popular in sales volume as the Stradella system.

Some systems consist of a rotated version or mirror image of one of the melody layouts used in [[Accordion#chromatic_button_accordion|chromatic button accordion]]s: others also exist.

In the United States, [[Julio Guiletti]] was the manufacturer and promoter of a ‘bassetti’ free-bass accordion, from the 1950s onward.

José Amador de los Ríos: “

Srnec: In 1852 he published the complete works of [[Íñigo López de Mendoza]].

”’José Amador de los Ríos”’ (1818–1878) was a [[Spain|Spanish]] intellectual, primarily a historian and archaeologist of [[Art history|art]] and [[Literary history|literature]]. He was a graduate in history of the [[Complutense University of Madrid]].

In 1844 he was the secretary of the Comisión Central de Monumentos. He was co-director with Antonio de Zabaleta of the ephemeral ”Boletín Español de Arquitectura”, the first Spanish journal dedicated exclusively to architecture.<ref>José Enrique García Melero (2002), ”Literatura española sobre Artes Plásticas: Bibliografía aparecida en España entre los siglos XVI y XVIII” (Encuentro), 176.</ref> It was only in publication from 1 June to December 1846. In 1852 he published the complete works of [[Íñigo López de Mendoza]]. It was Amador de los Ríos who first used the term ”[[mudejarismo]]” to describe a style of architecture in 1859.

In 1861 he published the first volume of ”Historia crítica de la literatura española”, the first general history of Spanish literature written in Spain.<ref name=gies>David Thatcher Gies (2004), ”The Cambridge History of Spanish Literature” (Cambridge: Cambridge University Press), 28–30</ref> It was to remain incomplete. Ideologically Amador de los Ríos, a [[Liberalism|liberal]] and [[Romanticism|romantic]], conceives of Spain as a unit, at once [[Roman Catholic]] and [[Castilian language|Castilian]], a [[constitutional monarchy]] (thought it was not one yet) united with its past by an ”idea luminosa” (luminous idea).<ref name=gies/> Countering the foreign historians who regard medieval Spain as a backwater, he defends Spanish literature as the foremost among those which appeared after the [[Fall of Rome]]. Though he only covered the [[Middle Ages]], he demonstrated that he regarded [[Spanish American literature]] as part of the Spanish tradition. In another work, ”Historia social, política y religiosa de los judíos de España”, he accepts the Spanish [[Jewish literature]] as part of the tradition, since it ‘bloomed’ in Spanish soil.<ref name=gies/> Unlike [[Adolf de Castro]], however, he did not condemn the [[Spanish Inquisition]].
