 Six Thursdays beginning October 2

 What were the noble ideas that shaped our nation and how have these ideas played out across the country? In this special series, Highway 50 will be used to explore America from its founding, early development, civil war, and westward expansion, to the present day. Time Magazine has called U.S. Highway 50 the "main street of America," so what better vehicle to explore the country? It extends from Maryland's eastern shore to Sacramento and passes through Washington, D.C., Cincinnati, St. Louis, Kansas City and the heartland of America. This will not be a traditional travelogue or history class. Instead, PROFESSOR DAVID MARSH will present seven themes about the nature of America and all participants will work together to seek the heart of America using Highway 50 as an anchor, prompt, and storyboard. The class will be lively, entertaining, and interactive— with all perspectives, questions, and stories welcomed to complete the view of the U.S. from the perspective of "main street" and to answer, "What Is America Today?"
 This series is free and open to the public, but registration is required. Simply call the Library's reference desk at (626) 300-0777 ext. 579 and reserve a space. Walk-in registration is also welcomed. Sessions will take place in the Library's Barth Community Room on the following Thursdays: October 2, 9, 16, 23, 30 and November 6, 2014, from 12:30 – 2:30 p.m.

 Professor David Marsh has spent the last decade exploring America along Highway 50. In the style of Charles Kuralt, he has driven every mile of the highway, talked with many locals along the route, visited key museums and sites, and read local newspapers. He brings stories, photos, reflections, and a decade of experiences to share. At USC, Marsh was the Associate Dean for Academic Programs in the Rossier School of Education and the Robert A. Naslund Professor of Curriculum and Instruction.

 Parking is free behind the Library and on the street. For further Information contact Jerome B. Walker, Ph.D., Director, firstname.lastname@example.com or Judith C. Diaz, Assistant Director, firstname.lastname@example.com (213) 740-8841 or visit USC Emeriti Center College http://emeriticollege.usc.edu

 Verdi's La Traviata
 Sunday, September 21, 2:00 p.m.

 The LA Opera season starts with Giuseppe Verdi's classic romance, La Traviata, one of the most popular operas today. And the LA Opera Talk series at Crowell Library starts off in a very special way, with performances by soprano MARIANA RAMIREZ, singing selections from the opera in the role of Violeta, along with baritone ERIC CASTRO singing the role of Alfredo, with pianist ABRAHAM FABELLA accompanying. The dazzlingly Art Deco-inspired LA Opera production at the Music Center features Placido Domingo in a Roaring Twenties setting.

 Acclaimed by Review Plays as a "genuine opera star in progress, with a voice that has a rich quality and clarity," Mariana Ramirez is becoming widely recognized for her performances. In the role of Antonia in Tales of Hoffman, she was claimed by Harbor Independent News as "the evening's standout with her warm, luxurious voice that encompasses romantic and poignant moments with a sympathetic presence." This season, she performed Lia in Debussy's L'Enfant Prodigue and in Mozart's Requiem as a soloist under the direction of James Vail. She received her Master of Music degree with Distinction at California State University Northridge 2011 and Bachelor of Music degree in Vocal Performance cum laude.

 As a baritone soloist, Eric Castro has appeared multiple times at Walt Disney Concert Hall, Shrine Auditorium, Long Beach Carpenter Centre, Las Vegas Smith Center, and Redlands Bowl. He was recently featured with the String Orchestra Project in Bach's Cantata Ich Habe Genug, and with San Diego Festival Orchestra in Dvorak's Te Deum. Eric earned his B.A. from Yale University, where he studied art, music and drama; and his Juris Doctor from USC's Gould School of Law. Eric is a Corporate Partner in the law firm of LEWIS BRISBOIS BISGAARD & SMITH LLP.

 Accompanist Abraham Fabella is a composer, pianist, and conductor who received graduate degrees in composition from the San Francisco Conservatory of Music and at the University of California, Riverside and additional graduate training at UCLA. Mr. Fabella is a much sought-after vocal coach and collaborative pianist.
 Ray Busmann has worked as an artist and educator both in his native Germany and in Southern California for over 30 years. He enjoys sharing his passion for opera with audiences of all ages. This is Ray's third season as a volunteer Community Educator for LA Opera and he will undoubtedly reveal some fascinating facts in his presentation in the Library's Barth Community Room. Arrive a bit early as this program will undoubtedly fill up. The program is free and open to all opera aficionados and first timers. Light refreshments will be served.

 Crowell: First Library in the World to Offer Dakim Brain Fitness

 Thursday September 18th 6:30 p.m.

 They wiggled, they jiggled, they wore low-cut gowns and short shorts. They kow-towed to the club owners and smiled at the customers… and they did it all, just to play the music they loved. THE GIRLS IN THE BAND tells the poignant, untold stories of female jazz and big band instrumentalists and their fascinating, groundbreaking journeys from the late 20s to the present day. These incredibly talented women endured sexism, racism and diminished opportunities for decades, yet continue today to persevere, inspire and elevate their talents in a field that seldom welcomed them.

 Attending this special screening will be DR. THOM DAVID MASON, who taught the very popular Jazz & Swing from A to Z at Crowell Library earlier this year, and JUDY CHAIKIN, who produced and directed the film. Dr. Mason is the founder of the Jazz Studies Department at the Thornton School of Music, USC, and was so impressed with The Girls in the Band, he's seen it multiple times. He also knows some of the musicians featured in the film so he will have many insights to share with the audience.

 Director/Producer Judy Chaikin is best known for writing, producing and directing the Emmy nominated PBS documentary, Legacy of the Hollywood Blacklist. She is a graduate of AFI's Directing Workshop for Women. Regarding her film, The Girls in the Band, Judy says, "We hope that the great joy we all had in learning about these amazing women, will be shared by the viewers and that the film will bring these artists the admiration and respect they so rightly deserve. This film is my tribute to their courage and musical artistry, which has never been properly celebrated… Our greatest satisfaction will come if this film can inspire a new crop of young female jazz musicians to stand on the shoulders of those early pioneers and to reach for the stars."

 Crowell Library is very fortunate to have these two guests at this special screening that is free for one and all. Don't miss it!

 Sunday September 14th 2:00 p.m.

 Learn about the adventures experienced by author JOHN WOOD, from the two years he spent teaching high school English in the Philippines when the Friends of Crowell Public Library begin their 2014 Meet the Authors series, Sunday, September 14. A former senior editor at AARP Magazine, John Wood will show slides and relay some amazing tales of his two years in the village of Sibulan working at, "the toughest job you'll ever love."* John grew up in Pasadena, has a degree in journalism from UCLA and has published a plethora of articles for the Los Angeles Times, Washington Post and Miami Herald. Among his book publications, How to Write Attention-Grabbing Query and Cover Letters and a soon-to-be-published title on his experiences during the Vietnam War where he earned a bronze star.

 Although times have changed since the Peace Corps' founding in 1961, the agency's mission—to promote world peace and friendship—has not. Today, the Peace Corps is more vital than ever, working in collaboration with partner organizations and using cutting-edge technologies and well-tested best practices to enhance impact. Over 215,000 current and returned volunteers know that the Peace Corps changes lives—both their own and the lives of people in communities around the world. When they return home, like John Wood, they share their stories and experiences and give back to their own communities, helping to strengthen international ties and increase our global competitiveness.

 Experience firsthand insight into this special service at 2:00 p.m. in the Barth Community Room, Sunday, September 14th at Crowell Public Library. Other local authors in the Meet the Authors series will include Lynn Snowden and Kyle Sydney Powell (Maezie's Pumpkin Patch) in October and Susan Rosvall (Silence is Broken) in November. With Friends like these, the authors keep coming at Crowell Public Library.

 September 8th 10:00 a.m. – 12:00 p.m.

 Seniors are a vulnerable audience, often preyed upon by unlicensed or unscrupulous contractors. Learn about the types of scams that are targeting seniors and how to avoid falling prey to them. This free seminar will be the first in a series held at Crowell Public Library's Barth Community Room, and will feature experts from government agencies on topics such as home improvement projects, identity theft, auto repair, healthcare fraud and investments. Senior Scam Stopper seminars have been offered by the California State Contractors License Board throughout the state since 1999 in cooperation with legislators, state and local agencies, law enforcement, district attorneys, and community-based organizations.

 According to the National Council on Aging,* financial scams targeting seniors have become so prevalent that they're now considered "the crime of the 21st century." They often go unreported or can be difficult to prosecute, so they're considered a "low-risk" crime. However, they're devastating to many older adults and can leave them in a very vulnerable position with little time to recoup their losses. In addition, the Council tells us over 90% of all reported elder abuse is committed by an older person's own family members, most often their adult children, followed by grandchildren, nieces and nephews. Other types of scams targeting seniors include counterfeit prescription drugs, funeral and cemetery scams, telemarketing, internet fraud, homeowners/reverse mortgage scams and fraudulent sweepstakes or lotteries.
 In addition to providing information about construction-related scams and how seniors can protect themselves when hiring a contractor, this seminar will feature expert speakers from local, state and federal agencies, who present broader topics, including identity theft, auto repair, and investments.
 Don't miss this important seminar on Monday September 8th at 10:00 a.m. at Crowell Library.

 with Dr. Karl von Tiehl
 Monday, June 23, 7:00 p.m.

 We are facing a new health epidemic in this country: that of food allergies. Over the past few decades, food allergy rates have skyrocketed to the point where now approximately 1 in every 13 children and 1 in every 20 adults are affected.1 In our grandparents' time, nobody in their whole town had a food allergy, in our parents' time, maybe one child in their school had a food allergy; now there's two or three in every classroom with rates increasing even more from 1997 to 2007 (up 18%, to be exact).2 The reasons for it are unclear, and the general public's (and even primary care physicians') misunderstanding of the issue may put patients' lives at unnecessary risk.3
 San Marino's and South Pasadena's only allergist, DR. KARL VON TIEHL, will be coming to the Crowell Public Library on Monday, June 23rd at 7:00 pm to give an hour lecture on food allergies and to lead a round table Q&A discussion on this important topic. We encourage all patients with food allergies and all adult and older teenage family members of patients with food allergies to attend. The lecture will cover what is (and what is not) food allergy, which medical conditions are related to food allergy, which foods are responsible for most allergic reactions, which infant formulas are safe to use, when and how to first introduce different food allergens to a child, which vaccinations might cause reactions in patients with food allergies, what kinds of allergy testing are available, how to best avoid exposure to food allergens (including a discussion on the controversial "food allergy table" at school), how to treat allergic reactions when they happen and how to live life to its fullest with food allergies (including social issues).

 Dr. Karl von Tiehl is a double board-certified Allergist/Immunologist, who trained at the Scripps Clinic in San Diego, and the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, MN. Upon graduating, Dr. von Tiehl spent over three years as a faculty member of the Cincinnati Children's Hospital Medical Center's prestigious Division of Allergy and Immunology. Dr. von Tiehl grew up in Pasadena and enjoys helpings patients that suffer from allergic disorders, just like he did when he was a child.
 Join us for a fascinating look at an important health issue Monday, June 23 at 7:00 p.m. in the Barth Community Room at Crowell Library.

 For the past four months, Crowell Public Library in San Marino has been offering Dakim Brain Fitness on a trial basis to see if it was something patrons would utilize -- and utilize they did -- to such an extent the Library has acquired two Dakim Fitness setups, becoming the first library in the world to do so! Patrons are now welcome to come in for multiple sessions as the makers of Dakim recommend its use three to five times a week for 20 minutes. To schedule their sessions, they only need to call the Library at (626) 300-0777 extension 579.

 Dakim Brain Fitness is an engaging software program specifically designed for people over 60 who want to exercise their brains. It can help revitalize mental acuity and has been shown in clinical tests to improve memory, attention, focus, and concentration. Recent retirees or seniors may find Dakim to be a great way to spend part of the day while giving their brains a little workout. There are five different levels, so users can find the one that suits them best. People who have already experienced some memory and cognitive loss may find that participating in the Dakim program improves their ability to focus.

 Everyone's heard the old adage, "If you don't use it, you'll lose it," and that is not only true of our muscles, but our brains as well. Dakim is designed to provide a comprehensive brain workout in just 20 minutes a day. It features vivid graphics, music, humor, movie clips, stories, and trivia to keep the program interesting, engaging, and fun. The touch screen environment makes it easy, even if the user hasn't used computers in the past. No keyboard, no mouse are used. The user just listens, watches, and touches the screen to select a response.

 The Library is still offering orientations that demonstrate Dakim. Call (626) 300-0777 and ask for the Reference Desk to sign up. After the orientation, patrons can schedule more sessions.

 Wednesday, May 28, 7:00 p.m.

 What weighs four pounds two ounces, took over two years and thousands of hours to create, and unveils intriguing facts about 50 of the most magnificent homes in the San Gabriel Valley? The answer: 50 Years of Pasadena Showcase Design Houses: Supporting the Arts Through Design, a commemorative book produced by 19 dedicated Pasadena Showcase House for the Arts (PSHA) members. Three of these members, Noel Jeffrey, Rary Simmons and Weta Mathies will join Book Committee Chair, Fran Biles at Crowell Public Library on May 28 at 7:00 p.m. to regale one and all with fascinating stories that were highlighted as the book was researched. They will lead attendees through architectural eras ranging from the mid- 1960's to 2014, explain how a Showcase House is chosen, and may even reveal which home is said to have a ghostly resident.

 The book also chronicles PSHA's philanthropic work over the years. A visit to the Showcase Houses benefits the Los Angeles Philharmonic Orchestra, the PSHA Music Mobile™, a Youth Concert, and the Pasadena Showcase House Instrumental Competition. The PSHA volunteers are united by a belief in the power and beauty of music. Their collective desire is to fund programs that nurture the study and appreciation of music, utilize music as a vehicle towards health and healing, and ensure that music is available to a broad range of audiences.

 For more information about PSHA, the Pasadena Showcase House of Design, visit www.PasadenaShowcase.org. or call 626-578-8500.

 Come to Crowell Library May 28th to learn about these architectural gems that have been highlighted through the fabulous work by one of Pasadena's most treasured charities.

 The Friends of Crowell Library and
 San Marino Music Center present A Jazz Quartet
 Thursday, June 12, 7:00 p.m.

 The third installment of the Crowell music series sponsored by the San Marino Music Center and the Friends of Crowell Library will feature a quartet led by music instructors AMBER NAVRAN (alto saxophone, vocals), JASON GOLDAY (guitar), and VICTOR CARRACEDO (drums). The musicians, all from the San Marino Music Center, will be performing "straight ahead" jazz, including many different styles such as bop, swing, Bossa, Latin as well as some pop vocal standards. In that mix, you'll likely hear tunes from such artists as Charlie Parker, Dizzy Gillespie, Kenny Dorham, Miles Davis and many others. This free concert will take place in the Library's Barth Community Room, and all ages welcome. No reservations are necessary.

 Amber Navran earned a Bachelor of Music from the USC's prestigious Jazz Studies program and
 has been teaching students of all ages since high school. Jason Golday studied Jazz and Classical Guitar at Indiana University in Bloomington, receiving his BM in Performance. He received his MFA in Jazz Guitar Performance from California Institute of the Arts. Jason has over fifteen years of public and private teaching experience and also composes music for commercials, short films and silent films. Victor A Carrracedo studied at L'AULA de Jazz de Barcelona under the mentorship of Quim Sole, where he graduated with honors in 2011. Victor graduated Suma Cum Laude with a Master of Music degree from Berklee. As an instructor, Victor stresses fundamentals such as technique and sight reading. His ultimate goal is to share his knowledge about drums with students and seeing them grow as musicians.

 Wednesday, May 28, 7:00 p.m.

 What weighs four pounds two ounces, took over two years and thousands of hours to create, and unveils intriguing facts about 50 of the most magnificent homes in the San Gabriel Valley? The answer: 50 Years of Pasadena Showcase Design Houses: Supporting the Arts Through Design, a commemorative book produced by 19 dedicated Pasadena Showcase House for the Arts (PSHA) members. Three of these members, Noel Jeffrey, Rary Simmons and Weta Mathies will join Book Committee Chair, Fran Biles at Crowell Public Library on May 28 at 7:00 p.m. to regale one and all with fascinating stories that were highlighted as the book was researched. They will lead attendees through architectural eras ranging from the mid- 1960's to 2014, explain how a Showcase House is chosen, and may even reveal which home is said to have a ghostly resident.

 The book also chronicles PSHA's philanthropic work over the years. A visit to the Showcase Houses benefits the Los Angeles Philharmonic Orchestra, the PSHA Music Mobile™, a Youth Concert, and the Pasadena Showcase House Instrumental Competition. The PSHA volunteers are united by a belief in the power and beauty of music. Their collective desire is to fund programs that nurture the study and appreciation of music, utilize music as a vehicle towards health and healing, and ensure that music is available to a broad range of audiences.

 For more information about PSHA, the Pasadena Showcase House of Design, visit www.PasadenaShowcase.org. or call 626-578-8500.

 Come to Crowell Library May 28th to learn about these architectural gems that have been highlighted through the fabulous work by one of Pasadena's most treasured charities.

 Thursday May 22, 2014 7:00 p.m.

 Celebrities are important in our lives and culture. They entertain us, amaze us, astonish us, and amuse us. When they become ill, it can almost seem like one of the family is stricken. Because they are in the spotlight, their illness can generate significant increases in fundraising for research and cures. Their challenges can also give reasons to examine one's own health practices. DR. CARY PRESANT will discuss a roster of celebrities and their conditions, and give tips about how their struggles can inspire one to get better health care today. Last March, Dr. Presant presented an engaging and well-attended talk on Surviving American Medicine at Crowell Library that included a plethora of insights into our healthcare system.

 A San Marino resident, Cary A. Presant, M.D., F.A.C.P., has been a practicing hematologist and medical oncologist in Southern California since 1979. He was the director of cancer programs at Washington University School of Medicine, the Jewish Hospital of St. Louis, Citrus Valley Health Partners, and St. Vincent Medical Center in Los Angeles. After being Director of Medical Oncology at City of Hope National Medical Center, he started a private practice in West Covina in 1982. In 2004, he merged his Center with Wilshire Oncology Medical Group, Inc. and is currently a Clinical Professor of Medicine at the University of Southern California, Keck School of Medicine. He received his medical degree in 1966 from the State University of New York at Buffalo and completed postdoctoral training at Columbia University in New York City, the National Cancer Institute in Bethesda, Maryland and Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis, Missouri. He is the author of Surviving American Medicine: How to Get the Right Doctor, Right Hospital and Right Treatment with Today's Health Care, published by Bloomington iUniverse.

 This program is free to the public. Light refreshments will be served.

 Monday May 19, 2014 7:00 p.m.

 In the spring of 1913, the city of San Marino incorporated, partly to avoid being taken over by a neighboring town with higher property taxes. In 1914, one year later, what was going on? How was the new little city working? What was going on in the 48 United States? KEN VERONDA, Headmaster of Southwestern Academy, will entertain one and all with a historical lecture on this era at Crowell Public Library Monday, May 19th at 7:00 p.m. Ken will impart the issues and perspectives of that day including the problems with the schoolhouse, Alhambra's outrageous charges for their services here, and the infestations of rats throughout the orange groves and farms. Water had started flowing into the empty San Fernando Valley and the county was nearing a half-million people. Pasadena's streets were congested with motor cars, and their odorous exhaust was fouling San Marino's air. Some fine new homes were being constructed on the golf course along the city's northern border, though many feared they will only add to the crowded valley. There were reports of an increasing threat of war with Mexico and the son of the town's board president was preparing to fight. European nations were bickering again, but fortunately the U.S. was far from being involved.
 Ken Veronda holds degrees in history from Stanford University. He is a lifelong member of the community and is a past president of Rotary Club of San Marino and the San Marino City Club. He is a sought-after speaker on the history of the San Gabriel Valley.

 Come hear what's happened since San Marino City was organized in 1913, how the farms and towns of our San Gabriel Valley were doing, and how the people were responding to the social and political changes swirling around. This program is free and open to the public.

 Monday, May 12, 6:00 p.m.

 Electronically savvy students from San Marino High School will be available on Monday night, May 12th from 6:00 to 9:00 p.m. at Crowell Public Library's Thornton Room to help people figure out how to use their hand-held devices. Lots of people have their own iPods, Androids, tablets, iPhones, and other devices, but they can't figure out some of the features. The teen volunteers are pretty familiar with many of the concepts behind these devices, so even if they haven't used a particular device, they may be able to help a person figure out what to do. The Library works with teens to try to match them up with those who are perplexed with their gadgets. During a similar session in April, patrons were quite pleased with the assistance they received from these service-oriented teenagers.

 If you are frustrated with online support options, come to Crowell Library and work with a living, breathing techie that will help you "bond" with your device. There's nothing like one-on-one assistance to help solve problems and tackle sticky widgets. To reserve your spot for this program and to match volunteers with patrons and types of devices, please call 626-300-0777, extension 579 to make a reservation as soon as possible. There are a limited number of teen volunteers, so slots will fill quickly!

 Sunday, May 4, 2:00 p.m.

 Religion, ecstasy, lust… these are the fundamental motivations of the opera Thaïs by Jules Massenet. With a libretto by Louis Gallet based on a novel by the Nobel Prize-winning Anatole France, the opera tells of the conflict between the love of human pleasures and a devotion to God that ultimately consumes the lives of the two principal characters — the monk Athanaël and the courtesan Thaïs.

 Using video clips from DVDs of three different productions of the opera, Community Educator RON STREICHER will present an uncensored exposé of the fate of this classic "fallen woman." (Because of the provocative sexual references and nudity, this presentation is rated "R" - not recommended for children.) Like Manon, which was written only a few years earlier, Thaïs was composed at the height of La Belle Epoque in Paris and is one of the most well-known of Massenet's more than two dozen operas.

 Ron Streicher began his career in music as a pianist, percussionist, and choral conductor. His interest migrated to audio production while a volunteer for the music department of a public radio station in LA. That avocation subsequently evolved into a career that now spans nearly five decades as an independent audio consultant and recording engineer specializing in live performances.

 Ron's love for opera was kindled while playing tympani in the pit orchestra of the UCLA Opera Theatre and rapidly grew to an overwhelming passion. His career as an audio engineer has afforded him the opportunity to work with the touring companies of the New York City Opera and Metropolitan Opera, and during his eighteen summers with the Aspen Music Festival and School, he served as the recording engineer and sound designer for more than fifty opera productions. His book, The New Stereo Soundbook is now in its third edition and has gained worldwide recognition as a standard reference on the subject of stereophonic perception, recording, and reproduction techniques.
 Mark this date on the social calendar as Crowell Library celebrates LA Opera's 2013/2014 season. Light refreshments will be served.

 Thursday April 24: 7:00 p.m.

 Movietown Baby Grows Up is a blithe reminiscence of Hollywood in the 30s, 40s, and 50s, and the life of one family as seen through the eyes of the youngest child. It is the story of William A. Seiter, director of 131 films, his wife Marian Nixon, actress in 73 films, how they made their way to fame, and yet lead a normal family life in spite of governesses, glamorous parties, and famous friends. Movietown Baby Grows Up is a vivid scrapbook with pictures interspersed through the rambling adventures of daughter Jessica Seiter Niblo's not-so-ordinary memories.

 William A. Seiter started working in Hollywood in 1915 as a stunt double and bit player and quickly graduated to directing comedy shorts. He moved up to features in the 1920s, directing such comedy legends as Laurel & Hardy ("Sons of the Desert"), Abbott and Costello ("Little Giant"), the Marx Brothers and W.C. Fields. He directed Shirley Temple in four features and Ginger Rogers and Fred Astaire in "Roberta," and "You Were Never Lovelier" with Rita Hayworth and Fred Astaire. He helmed scores of television productions and was one of the founding members of the Directors Guild of America. Marian Nixon, aka "the nicest girl in Hollywood," began her movie career in 1923 with "Cupid's Fireman" when she was nineteen. She was one of those fortunate actresses who made the successful transition to the "talkie" era. Her final film was "Tango" in 1936.

 Daughter, Jessica Seiter Niblo, who will speak at Crowell Library on Thursday, April 24, worked at MGM for nine years as a production coordinator and secretary to television executive David Gerber. In addition to being an author, Jessica is a generous fundraiser, providing educational opportunities and scholarships that have profoundly improved the lives of many young people. Don't miss this special evening on the golden age of Hollywood!

 On Monday, April 14th at 7:00 p.m., Dr. Yu-Wen Taylor will present today's best thinking on how learning works, based on a convergence of evidence from cognitive psychology, developmental psychology, and neuroscience. "The Science of Learning: Unlocking Human Potential" will reveal why some people are more effective learners than others and debunk common misconceptions about learning which hinder effort and motivation. Participants will understand high-leverage points for improving learning outcomes and gain the skills to cultivate mindsets conducive to learning. Strategies for improving meta-cognition and self-regulation will also be discussed. This workshop will be a must for parents, educators or any lifelong learner. Participants will have the opportunity to assess their learning quotient (LQ) – a more potent indicator of a person's potential for success than the intelligence quotient (IQ).

 YU-WEN TAYLOR is an educator whose mission is to help people become passionate and effective lifelong learners. She earned a Doctorate in Education from USC, an M.A. in Education from Stanford, and a B.A. from U.C. Berkeley. She has taught at various grade levels for over eleven years and has coached and developed teachers. As the Learning Director of an entrepreneurial company in Silicon Valley, she fostered collaboration between the public and private sectors to improve the learning outcomes of K through 12 students. As an Education Consultant, Dr. Taylor advised the Ministry of Education in China on curricular and instructional issues relating to international and second language programs. She is currently conducting research on learning in the twenty-first century and the globalization of education to help policymakers, leaders, and stakeholders understand the complexity of learning in today's world. She is a resident of San Marino and a Recreation Commissioner for the City.

 Dr. Taylor believes that in this multifaceted and rapidly changing society, to master learning is to master life. If you are curious about how to unlock human potential, you won't want to miss this special program at Crowell Public Library.

 Wednesday March 19: 7:00 p.m.

 According to Roy Williams and Vic Preisser in their book, Preparing Heirs: Five Steps to a Successful Transition of Family Wealth and Values, studies show that 70% of heirs lose control of their inheritance within one generation and 93% within three generations. The loss of wealth is also often combined with a loss of pride, self-esteem, family harmony and productivity. In extreme cases, many wealth heirs turn to destructive behaviors such as substance abuse, loss of motivation and a culture of entitlement. Preparing Your Heirs will inform and educate parents on how to empower their children to lead independent, meaningful and purposeful lives. The program will present practical tools parents can deploy every day on how best to have those challenging conversations with family members and open up safe and productive channels of communication from one generation to the next.

 Monday, February 24, 7:00 p.m.

 This week in Sacramento a drought bill known as H.R. 3964 is up for a vote. "The Sacramento-San Joaquin Valley Emergency Water Delivery Act" is authored by Representative David Valadao of Hanford (R-CA21), and seeks to loosen some restrictions and provide more water to farmers in the Central Valley, some say at the expense of the San Joaquin River Restoration Program. In the midst of an historic drought, and what Governor Jerry Brown has declared a drought emergency, Californians more than ever need to understand all aspects our most precious resource and where we get it. The San Marino Historical Society and Crowell Public Library invite one and all to hear Debra Man address this topic in depth at the Library, Monday, February 24, at 7:00 p.m.

 Debra Man is the Chief Operating Officer of the Metropolitan Water District of Southern California and a San Marino resident. She will explain the history of the Delta, how it impacted California during the Gold Rush, what has happened to it since, and what is needed to keep it as an asset for California's future as the state struggles with the least amount of rainfall in its 163-year history. Resolving the existing conflicts in the Delta between water supply and environmental needs will significantly improve the water supply reliability for all water users that rely on water from the Delta which includes San Marino.

 This program is free and open to the public. It will take place in the Library's Barth Community Room.

 Two books, San Marino: A Centennial History by Elizabeth Pomeroy and The Story of Michael White, a California Rebel Pioneer by Dorothy Jenkins Ross will be available for purchase from the Historical Society.

 Sunday, February 16, 2:00 p.m.

 If you can't make it to the Music Center or you'd like to broaden your understanding of Donizetti and his music, come to Crowell Library on February 16 at 2:00 p.m. for this special LA Opera Talk. Community Educator LARRY VERDUGO, who presented the Library's LA Opera Program on Britten's Turn of the Screw in 2011 and Billy Budd last month, will reveal some fascinating facts in a multi-media presentation in the Library's Barth Community Room. The program is free and open to all opera aficionados and first timers.

 Lucia Di Lammermoor is a romantic tale of family honor, betrayal and madness that takes place in Scotland and is one of Donizetti's most popular works. Larry Verdugo will describe Donizetti's life, the music and the story depicted in the opera: forced by her family to marry against her will, Lucia descends into madness. Her chilling, blood-spattered reappearance at the wedding reception has become one of the most iconic scenes in all opera. A tour-de-force of Italian Romantic opera at its most powerful and dramatic, Lucia di Lammermoor is the gleaming jewel in opera's bel canto crown.
 Opera is not just magnificent music, dance and theater with astounding sets on a beautiful stage; opera can sweep you away to foreign lands, take you back in time, dazzle you with pageantry and bring history to life. It is literature, social studies, cultural diversity, multiple languages and most of all, it is exciting! Come explore the world of opera which has something for everyone.

 Thursday, February 20, 7:00 p.m.

 The bombing of the Los Angeles Times on October 1, 1910 remains one of the deadliest crimes ever to go to trial in California. At least 20 workers at the Times died in the explosion and the fire that followed. More than 100 others were injured. On Thursday, February 20th in the Library's Barth Community, learn all about it from author and journalist Lew Irwin, when he presents this fascinating look into Los Angeles history at 7:00 p.m.

 The story of the bombing, the manhunt for the perpetrators, and the aftermath that would wreck the career of America's most famous attorney and set back the American labor movement by a generation, makes for fascinating reading, particularly at a time when terrorism again threatens American society. The magnificent cast of characters includes: General Harrison Gray Otis, owner of the Los Angeles Times, whose determined effort to keep Los Angeles non-union led to its being singled out as a bombing target; William J. Burns, who tracked down the bombers and became the first director of the FBI and founder of what remains the largest private security organization in the world; Earl Rogers, the brilliant criminal attorney, who became Erle Stanley Gardner's model for Perry Mason; the legendary attorney Clarence Darrow, who defended the bombers but who in desperation attempted to bribe two jurors; the muckraking journalist Lincoln Steffens, who had hoped to persuade the bombers to confess to him, thereby giving him the scoop of a lifetime.
 Author Lew Irwin has had a hand in nearly every facet of news and information broadcasting. His career in journalism began in high school at the Los Angeles Times where he researched a sports trivia column. While still an undergraduate at USC, he was hired to host News Today, a nationally syndicated radio program whose regular contributors included Eleanor Roosevelt and legendary commentator H. V. Kaltenborn. For the next 15 years, Irwin's was a familiar face and voice in Southern California as he anchored television news programs or directed the news operations of leading radio stations, always adding a flair for humor and for pointing out the extraordinary. In 1968, he produced and hosted The Credibility Gap on KRLA Los Angeles, which integrated topical satire and music with the news. Time and Newsweek wrote full-page articles about it, and it was featured in a long segment on the CBS Evening News with Walter Cronkite. He currently is the publisher/editor of Studio Briefing, a daily digest of entertainment industry news. (http://www.studiobriefing.net)

 On Deadly Times: The 1910 Bombing of the Los Angeles Times and America's Forgotten Decade of Terror by Lew Irwin:
 Harry Chandler has called it, "a most fascinating and can't-put-down story."
 "A gripping must-read tale of turbulent times." -- Dr. John Horgan, director, International Center for the Study of Terrorism, Penn State University

 Saturday, January 25, 10:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m.

 A recent Pew Internet survey found that most Americans know where their local library is, but many are unfamiliar with all the services they offer.* On Saturday, January 25th, Crowell Public Library will demonstrate for its community the amazing selection of services and programs it has to offer when the library celebrates is sixth anniversary with an open house. For those who haven't visited a library in awhile, surprises will be abundant. With the help of the Library Foundation and the Friends of the Library, Crowell will toot its own big horn from 10:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. The library has programs for seniors, teens and kids, cultural programs, historical programs, passport acceptance, test proctoring and local art on display. During the Open House there will be demonstrations on how to use the Library's databases and online applications that help patrons with tests, finding a job, downloading an ebook, finding money for college, learning a language as well as finding a good book to read. Visitors will be equally impressed with the selection of DVDs and CDs available for checkout.

 At noon, the Library's Foundation will announce the annual bookmark contest winners and then the Friends of the Library will present the titles and authors in their 2014 Meet the Authors series. This year they have expanded from One Book, One City to Four Books, One City. It just keeps getting better! Local vendors will be offering snacks and treats and the Friends Book Shoppe will have a 25% off everything sale: an enticement at every turn, inside the Library and out in the patio.

 An Open House is the perfect way to demonstrate how Crowell Public Library has something for everyone. Don't miss this opportunity to learn about and appreciate the local institution whose goal is to provide a gathering place, an information center, a technology hub, and a book and media collection to serve the educational, cultural, and recreational interests of people of all ages.

 Every year the Friends of Crowell Public Library present a program of One Book, One City events that brings the community together in celebration of the joy of reading. This year they are going above and beyond this concept to present Four Books, One City: Meet the Authors. Four times the authors, four times the fun!

 The events will kick off Thursday, January 30, 2014, at 7:00 p.m. with author Christopher Norgaard who wrote, Unfair Competition - Murder by Gunshot: The Untold Story of the Neutrogena Empire. Mr. Norgaard's book traces fifteen years in the saga between Neutrogena International Corportion's Arne Tali and Lloyd Cotsen as they entertained, negotiated and litigated with and against each other, while building the worldwide Neutrogena brand. This cooperation alternated with rivalry, followed by threats and conspiracies, mystery and finally – murder. Christopher Norgaard is currently Vice President of the San Marino Unified School District, and is a practicing business litigation lawyer with 39 years of experience. He is a graduate of Stanford University and the Georgetown University Law Center.

 On Thursday, February 27, 2014 at 7:00 p.m., bestselling author and veteran homicide detective Steve Hodel presents his follow-up investigation into Los Angeles's Black Dahlia and other serially connected "Lone Woman Murders" from the 1940s -- Black Dahlia Avenger II. In this investigative sequel to Black Dahlia Avenger: A Genius for Murder (2003), he identifies the actual Dahlia murder residence and presents hard physical evidence connecting Dr. George Hill Hodel (his father) to evidence found near the body, and a careful deconstruction of the Dahlia myth. Steve Hodel was born and raised in Los Angeles and joined the LAPD in 1963. By 1986, he was Detective III, the highest attainable rank in detectives, received more than 75 commendations and handled over 300 separate murder investigations with one of the department's highest solve rates. He retired in 1986 and established Hodel Investigations.

 On Thursday, March 13, 2014 at 7:00 p.m., John Wayne: The Genuine Article will be presented by Michael Goldman and Ethan Wayne. This biography is authorized by John Wayne Enterprises and offers readers a rare glimpse into the life of one of the most iconic movie stars of all time through a treasure trove of memorabilia, stories, and interviews. This book includes John Wayne Enterprises' collection of never-before-seen letters and telegrams as well as incredibly compelling text from Wayne's unfinished memoir. Important milestones in the Academy Award-winning actor, director, and producer's life are also well documented here through anecdotes, photos, and visually rich ephemera. With a foreword by Jimmy Carter and a preface by his son Ethan Wayne, John Wayne: The Genuine Article presents the complete story of how an ordinary man became a top box office draw for six decades, and a larger-than-life icon known simply as the Duke. Michael Goldman is a veteran entertainment-industry journalist and author who contributes regularly to American Cinematographer. He has written six books, including Clint Eastwood: Master Filmmaker at Work. Ethan Wayne, John Wayne's youngest son, currently is president of Wayne Enterprises, the sole and exclusive steward of the John Wayne brand. Ethan and Michael Goldman both live in Los Angeles, California.

 More John Wayne insights will be revealed on Thursday, April 10, 2014 at 7:00 p.m. when Scott Eyman talks about his book, John Wayne: The Life and Legend. Eyman has written eleven books, including biographies of Hollywood legends such as John Ford, Cecil B. DeMille and Louis B. Mayer. He has based his book on interviews with John Wayne before his death and more than one hundred interviews with the actor's family and co-stars. He explores Wayne's early life with a difficult mother and a feckless father. Eyman makes startling connections to Wayne's later days as an anti-Communist conservation, his stormy marriages to Latina women and his notorious and long-lived extra-marital affair with Marlene Dietrich. Through it all the author provides a nuanced and sympathetic portrait that is as charming, compelling and complicated as the Duke himself. Scott Eyman is the literary critic for The Palm Beach Post and he lives in West Palm Beach.

 All programs will take place in the Library's Barth Community and light refreshments will be available.

 The concept of One Book, One City originated in Seattle back in 1998 as an entertaining strategy to build community – imagining a huge book group consisting of friends and neighbors, discussing plots and characters, while promoting literacy. Past selections for San Marino's One Book, One City programs have included Iron River by T. Jefferson Parker, Flower Confidential by Amy Stewart, Samurai's Garden, by Gail Tsukiyama, The Ragtime Kid by Larry Karp, 2012's The Sherlockian by Graham Moore, and last year's Dearie: The Remarkable Life of Julia Child by Bob Spitz.

I enjoyed the food and the people.
The rooms were a great size, comfortable and clean.
There was a lack of food choice and service pool side and generally throughout the hotel.
Location and view, breakfast is excellent, and facilities are nice, clean and well maintained. The room is very confortable, including a beautiful balcony.
No free wifi.
Great Clean rooms and very friendly staff, great value for money
Queuing a long time for breakfast on sunday morning.
We liked the rooms and the size of the room. The gym facility is good and the meet and greet staff are friendly and helpful.
The pool is freezing cold no matter how hot the temperature is and there is a lack of service poolside and what is offered on the menu is often unavailable. In general we felt there was a lack of choice of food even the room service menu is limited and does not cater for children. There is a restriction on the times food is available and the reception staff can be more friendly. Improving food service and menu choice would encourage us to return. If you have access to the executive lounge the facilities offered are limited and offer little variety throughout the day.
Beautiful hotel as you picture it on a carribean island.
Excellent hotel, friendly people, very relaxed environment
Nothing all great
The facilities are good: pools. restaurants, beach
the place is secluded n charges a lot for late check out.
A great idea for a family vacay or even a solo business trip. The best hotel in Barbados... Take it from a fello bajan :P
That the internet sometimes cuts off
There is all, that the hotel promises.
Limited free wi-fi, should be free over the whole hotel. Food was below average.
we loved everything. we enjoyed ourselves to the max. the room was great and breakdast was terrific. definitely would go back.
the fact that the pool had tissue all over it. that needs to be controlled.
Very nice spacy rooms most of them with great view; excellent beach equipment; excellent breakfast
Nice beach; though the public Brown's Beach close by is even better
This is totally ideal place to be accommodation in Barbados whether you come for leisure or business.
Location, staff ( apart from the little fat man at reception who defo has little man syndrome )...
Food.. was below average most of the times we ate there, altho the bar food was fine.. both of their restaurant food was pretty poor, plus really over priced breakfast buffet
Location was great, hotel very quiet. Some of the staff were lovely especially the lady that checked us in.
Dirty plates outside bedroom doors in corridors, pillows very uncomfortable to sleep on. Having to lay your own table at breakfast. Room smelled.Being ignored by bar staff for ages and then when making up cockatils disappearing and serving other people.
Executive lounge as part of executive room package, great private beaches, plenty of sun beds and brollies on the main beach and by the two great pools, attentive pool side service.Helpful and informative concierge and reception staff.
Limited free wifi, should be free over the whole hotel, Lighthouse restautant service slow, location a bit remote but taxis reasonably priced (make sure quotes are in Barbados dollars).
We loved your hotel. It was an amazing holiday!
The Executive lounge
Ocean and Garrison (historical UNESCO part of the town) view, big hotel spaces, parking area, kindly employees.
Why are not all taxes included in price for the accomodation ? Then it abnormally increases the price. No possibility to swim in the sea (all the time big waves and red flag), but no information about it before making reservation. Far from the downtown and areas with restaurants, shops (esp. so called "groundwalk" area) etc. Artifical glass in the pool bar - no taste !
Comfortable, professional, friendly staff, great view, nice pool side. Good food, great breakfast
Beach waterfront, water to rough to bade.
Good friendly staff
the 8th floor exclusive service for the executive rooms (floors 6th to 8th).
noisy air conditioning, poor water pressure on the shower.
Food, service and scenery were all wonderful
lovely beaches,nice food,happy hour and the entertainment, however it was on a bit early. Good size beds. Staff were lovely
no life after 9pm
All staff member were and service was great in general the hotel is very clean
the food at the hotel left much to be desired. Even the breakfest buffet was poor. Our room was a suite the area rugs were stained along with the sagging couch in the living room. My room needed some attention and updating

The disco group Village People will take center stage at this year's Pride. The group first hit the airwaves in 1978 with their hit "Macho Man" and became a household name with "Y.M.C.A."
The musical group — composed of Eric Anzalone, Felipe Rose, Jim Newman, Ray Simpson, Bill Whitefield and Alex Briley — went on to become gay icons and "Y.M.C.A." is now considered an anthem for the LGBT community.
Philly Pride Presents president Franny Price said she tried to get theVillage People to Philly Pride in the past but the group was always unavailable.
She said the group is one that all generations can enjoy.
"These are people that everybody knows," she said. "I don't care how old you are, how young you are, you know 'Y.M.C.A.' They were the first gay group so this is exciting."
In addition to the headliner, this year's entertainment line-up also includes comedian Lynne Koplitz, singer Erika Schiff who appeared on "American Idol," indie-pop band Ariana & the Rose, alt-rock group BETTY, singer Steve Cohen, Well-Strung Quartet and drag queen Mimi Imfurst.
CBS 3 anchor Jim Donovan and local performer Rudy Flesher will be the reviewing-stand announcers during the parade.
Price announced that Philly Trans* March founder Christian Axavier Lovehall and Gloria Casarez, the city's director of LGBT affairs, will act as grand marshals.
Price said Lovehall's work to get the march off the ground should be recognized.
"Here is a younger person who had this vision and did something about it and actually makes it their mission," she said.
Lovehall said he is honored to serve as grand marshal and added, as a transman of color who identifies as bisexual, he has often looked forward to the Pride festivities but sometimes felt the events were not as inclusive and affirming as they could be.
"As a member of both communities, being chosen as grand marshal, to me personally, represents times of change and increased visibility for people who have felt silenced and ignored for quite some time," he said. "That is awesome. And it's a very special thing to be a part of such change. This year I actually feel that this will be a space where someone like me feels celebrated and affirmed enough to be proud."
Price said Casarez's commitment to the LGBT community goes beyond her job.
"She has been active in everything since she first got involved in the community," she said. "She was one of the founders of Dyke March. She has been involved with everything in our community. She is an institution and a leader."
This is the second time Casarez will serve as a grant marshal; she was honored in 2001.
"I'm proud to represent the work we're doing in the mayor's office and across city government at Pride," she said. "This has been a great year for Philadelphia: We opened the John C. Anderson Apartments, began implementing transgender-inclusive health benefits for city employees, took the top spot in the Human Rights Campaign's Municipal Equality Index and have been active in the American Civil Liberties Union case to overturn the statewide same-sex marriage ban."
Councilman Mark Squilla, whose district covers the Gayborhood, will act as Friend of Pride. Youth grand marshals are Da'Shawn "Dalyla" Baker and Avery McNair.
The parade will step off from 13th and Locust streets at noon June 8 and head to Penn's Landing.

Federal Judge Orders Tennessee to Recognize Same-Sex Couples' Marriages
Printer-friendly versionPDF version
Judge: Tennessee must recognize three couples' out-of-state marriages
WASHINGTON – Today U.S. District Court Judge Aleta Trauger ordered Tennessee state officials to recognize the out-of-state marriages of three same-sex couples during consideration of their lawsuit challenging Tennessee's constitutional amendment banning their recognition. Human Rights Campaign (HRC) President Chad Griffin issued the following statement:
"Yet another federal judge has recognized that bans on marriage equality don't hold up to even basic constitutional scrutiny. Though today's ruling comes from Tennessee, it joins others issued recently in Virginia, Kentucky, Texas, Ohio, Oklahoma and Utah, and in this case the judge boldly noted that it won't be long before each and every remaining ban on marriage equality becomes a footnote in history. That day isn't here yet, but today Tennessee brought us one step closer to that goal."
Currently 29 states have constitutional amendments restricting marriage to one man and one woman. Same-sex couples can legally marry in 17 states and Washington, DC.
The Human Rights Campaign is America's largest civil rights organization working to achieve lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender equality. By inspiring and engaging all Americans, HRC strives to end discrimination against LGBT citizens and realize a nation that achieves fundamental fairness and equality for all.

@Jazzer94 It would be even more amazing if we could race as the two characters in your profile pic!
This news really opens up a realm of possibilities! Maybe we could get some Fire Emblem Awakening related tracks/racers (plz Nintendo)? This could also apply to Smash Bros. as well, maybe some DLC stages, music, and characters are on the way in coming years.

Brazil's Oi eyes more asset sales to bolster cash position
SAO PAULO Feb 19 (Reuters) - Brazil's Grupo Oi SA is looking to sell more assets unrelated to its main business, Chief Executive Zeinal Bava said on Wednesday, after the sale of underwater fiber optic cables helped the company avoid a net loss in the fourth quarter.
Further income from that sale will go toward bolstering the telecommunications company's cash holdings, Bava told analysts.
Oi will sell more cell towers this year, he said, without providing details on potential terms or bidders. (Reporting by Brad Haynes and Alberto Alerigi; Editing by Bernadette Baum)
