Join me tonight as I light a candle at Rockefeller Plaza for Detained Journalists Laura Ling and Euna Lee.

Join me tonight as I light a candle at Rockefeller Plaza at 6pm in New York, where one of five candlelight vigils is being held across the United States in solidarity for the safe return of American journalists Laura Ling and Euna Lee to their families.

May 19 marks the start of the tenth week for Current TV reporters Laura Ling, a Chinese-American, and Euna Lee, a Korean American, who were detained at North Koreas border with China on March 17.

Ms. Ling and Ms. Lee, their cameraman Mitch Koss and their Korean Chinese guide had entered China to interview North Korean defectors living along the PRC-DPRK border near the Tumen River. According to JoongAng Ilbo, a Seoul based newspaper, they were detained by North Korean border guards on March 17 as they were walking along the shallow Tumen River into North Korea. Although Koss and the Korean Chinese guide were able to escape capture by the North Koreans, Koss was detained by Chinese Border guards, and released.

North Korea has stated theyre suspected of hostile acts, and has charged them with spying and illegally crossing the border. Their trial date is set for June 4. If found guilty, they could be served a sentence of five to ten years in prison.

Come out to show your support in New York City, Chicago, Portland, Los Angeles or Orlando for their safe return home. Below are the details.

Lea will be in town for a brief period of time. She altered her plans to do this. Both Lea and I feel that we have a responsibility to help our kababayans who are suffering and in dire need of relief and assistance. We have to put in our share, no matter how small. Every little bit counts, right?" He added: "We are grateful to the Ayala Foundation for providing the system and for the support of the Philippine Consulate General to make this happen."

The San Francisco Museum & Historical Society rolled out the red carpet last night with an opening night gala to relive the Golden Age of Chinese Nightclubs.

Last night's gala kicks off the not-to-be-missed SWINGING CHINATOWN exhibit open now through February 15, and from February 19 through 21.

Our very own Ben Fong-Torres was the master of ceremonies.

SAN FRANCISCO -

From the late 1930s to the early 1960s nightclubs in San Francisco Chinatown thrived. Cabarets such as The Forbidden City, the Chinese Skyroom and the Shangri-La entertained crowds with its glamorous Asian American singers, musicians, and dance troupes. These were the first - and in those days - the only venues to showcase Asian American performers.

Last night, the San Francisco Museum and Historical Society, in collaboration with the Chinese Historical Society of America relived that era with a glittering gala opening reception to kick off its SWINGING CHINATOWN exhibit at The Old Mint.

The gala featured entertainment by the Grant Avenue Follies, a troupe of former nightclub dancers, and appearances by many of the famous entertainers. Author Trina Robbins signed her new book
