By Wendy Rose GouldThough i t ’s hard to bel ieve

we’ve already entered the new year, i t ’s t ime to get down to fashion-related business. Today we’re talking 2012 trends and I’m covering the hottest fashion trends this year has to offer. From 2012 color trends to the trendiest textiles and prints of the year, I’ve got you covered, ladies.

FeathersYep - feathers are a hot com-

modity these days. My favorite part is that they provide a bit of earthy-meets-chic hippy to any-one who dons them. Wear feath-ers in your hair with a feather plume (try Fine Featherheads or PlumeIt), attach them to your belt or bag, or purchase a pair of fabulous feather earrings.

OrangeAll things orange are au cou-

rant in 2012, so invest in this splashy hue every chance you get . I love the look of br ight orange nails paired with a gray or natural-hued ensemble. Also consider an orange c lutch or to te , o range scar f o r orange

shoes. This 2012 color trend is a bold one, so I understand if it’s intimidating. Just give ‘er a go and you’ll find its an empowering hue to don.

Animal PrintThough most people conjure

thoughts of the gaudy version of animal prints, you most certainly don’t have to buy cheap or garish to rock this look. Your best bet is to nod to the trend with small accessories like a zebra clutch, snakeskin shoe or leopard-lined camisole. A little goes a long way with this 2012 trend.

Vintage JewelryThe bigger the vintage jewelry

you wear, the better. Think giant hair cl ips paired with a girl ish updo, bauble rings that tower, layered necklaces and dripping chandelier earrings. Statement jewelry is always a do, but this year you should invest in vin-tage. If you like the hunt, shop for vintage jewelry at local flea markets or thrift stores. If you prefer someone else to do the work, you’l l have good luck at Etsy.com, antique stories and

even eBay. The 1920s and 1960s are especially trendy, this year, reports Fashionising.com.

Abstract TextilesIn 2011 we saw lots of tribal-

inspired textiles and geometric patterns. That trend has transi-

tioned into 2012, but this time with more focus on abstract art. Models at Spring 2012 fashion week wore swaths of solid col-ors in modern, angular and 21st century-inspired designs, says Elle.com.

Five Hot FasHion trends For 2012

By ShawnTe PierceDuring the spring 2012 fashion

shows last September and October, different trends were seen. Yet it was still too early to figure out which trends would be dominant. As retailers begin to release pre-season merchandise it becomes evident which runway colors are the trend for spring 2012. Thanks to the company who knows color so well, Pantone, the dominate fashion color trends are now known. Check out the spring 2012 fashion color trends and a few tips on how to wear them successfully.

The Colors of Spring from the Pan-tone Fashion Color Report

There are nine dominate colors for spring. They are a mixture of brights, pastels and muted tones that feel like the season they represent.

Brights: Solar Power (sunny yel-low), Bellflower (bright violet/dark lavender), Cabaret (bright fuchsia/hot pink), Tangerine Tango (bright reddish-orange) and Sodalite Blue (dark cobalt/bright navy)

Pastels: Sweet Lilac (baby pink, pale lavender), Margarita (mint/light grass) and Cockatoo (aqua, light turquoise)

Muted Tones: Driftwood (muted Pewter/light charcoal) and Starfish (muted bronze taupe)

How to Wear Spring’s BrightsThe brights of spring 2012 are bold

and will add a pop of color to your wardrobe. You can pair these brights with neutral black or white for an easy look. However, go for the gusto and mix these brights together. The prints for spring feature these colors from pretty feminine florals to graphic athlet-ic and tribal-influenced styles. Go for a colorblock spring sweater or tunic like the Payton Dolman Sleeve Colorblock Sweater in Pop Orange, $98.00 at Nordstrom. This sweater mixes bright orange with hot pink for a sherbet feel. Pair this sweater with white jeans and matching heels like Jessica Simpson ‘Evannan’ Platform in Bermuda Pink, $97.95 also at Nordstrom.

Mix Pastels with Brights to Intensify Their Color

Pastels are a spring staple. Seeing a mint green or baby pink frock is nothing new during this season. You can make your pastels pop with the color inten-sity their bright counterparts do when you pair a pastel and bright together. Lilly Pulitzer, the queen of prints (in

my opinion), is great at mixing colors like brights and pastels together to create a vibrant look. This is evident in her Cropped Cardigan ($98.00) and Strapless Embroidered Dress ($268.00) sold at Nei-man Marcus. The dress is turquoise with dark coral em-broidery along the top edge and left side sweeping into the hem. When you add the pink tomato cardigan to it, the dress appears brighter and more vibrant in color. This is a great effect to use to make older pastels look new again.

Spring’s Muted Colors Bring a Fash-ionable Change

Typically muted tones are relegated to office wear. Muted taupe trousers or light grey skirt suits are the norm for these tones. This spring muted tones are finding their way in of all places, swimwear as seen in the Fly Away Swimdress in Charcoal, $89.99 at Roaman’s. These soft muted tones are also making their way into spring denim in shades like pearl grey like the 5-Pocket Stretch Skinny Jeans in Pearl Grey from $34.99 to $39.99 at Woman Within. The great thing about

these muted tones is they can be paired flawlessly with spring’s brights and pastels. Think of soft taupe paired with baby pink or canary yellow with muted pewter.

Whether you choose to pair spring’s hot colors together, purchase a color-block garment or wear a vibrant print does not matter. These colors work well with each other and compliment many skin tones. If you are not one for wearing brights or pastels why not be daring and try out one of these hot colors for spring. It can be as simple as a scarf or colorful skirt. As always, whatever you choose inject your own unique style to make sure the look is totally you.

January 13, 2012

By Sylvie BranchThe best time to think about spring

fashions is while you are dealing with the effects of winter weather. Now is the time to dream of the fresh, crisp trends of spring 2012 and start adding pieces that compliment your current wardrobe. Fashion trends are not just for weekends, update your wardrobe to improve your confidence which in turn can boost your career.

Sheath dressThe sheath continues to be a way to

look trendy and elegant at the same time. The simple sheath also makes getting ready for work simple. A well-made sheath like this banded sheath from Calvin Klein, will not only hold it’s value for a long time, it can be styled in several different ways giving you many workday options.

Look for a straight dress that skims the body with a hem that hits right around the knee.

Combine it with a cardigan, bolero or layer a button down shirt underneath for a completely different look. Simple, classic accessories like a pearl necklace and pumps is one way to complete an ensemble, while big bangle bracelets, a silk scarf in one of spring’s bold colors and a pair of knee high boots or wedge shoes for a completely different stylish spring look.

Crisp shirt dressSalt water taffy pastels and deep

butterscotch yellow look trendy and new this spring 2012. These soft neutrals will flatter any skin tone and look their best in crisp shirt dresses according to designer Carmen Marc Valco. A simple pastel shirt dress is a good alternative to pants for casual Fri-day. Show that you can maintain your femininity while staying up-to-date and professional. Add a soft cardigan for those chilly air conditioned spaces.

Color blockingRunways showing the new spring

fashions were full of bold color blocked pieces. You can achieve this intense look by supplementing your current wardrobe with solid pieces. Deep hues like rich purple, oranges, blues and reds can be paired to create all new trendy office outfits for spring. If you are unsure how to do this on your own, remember to use no more than two or three colors at a time. You can add a bold, solid colored scarf and an equally bold, but different color pair of shoes to a solid sheath dress or pencil skirt and blouse combo. On the other hand you can simply purchase an easy to wear color blocked dress.

There is nothing in a caterpillar that tells you it’s going to be a butterfly.

-R. Buckminster Fuller

By David White

All wines are appropriate for all seasons. There’s nothing wrong with enjoying a simple white or crisp rosé in the winter, and big reds work all year long.

But our diets change as the weath-er cools. Just as we look forward to watermelon and fresh-from-the-garden tomatoes in the summer, in winter we crave soups, stews, and roasts. So our go-to wines change, as well. This winter, I’m drinking Syrah.

Syrah’s ancestral home is the Northern Rhone, where the classic wines of Cote Rotie and Hermitage are produced. The best wines from these regions still set the benchmark for the varietal.

High-quality Syrah is wonder-fully accessible, even in its youth. As Steve Heimoff, West Coast editor for Wine Enthusiast, recently explained, “I would describe a good Syrah as having the weight of Cabernet Sauvi-gnon, but a little softer, and while both wines are marked by the aromas and flavors of blackberries, Syrah’s meaty, peppery notes distinguish it.”

Heimoff’s description is spot-on. The blue and black fruit of a good Syrah will delight you, while the aro-mas of black pepper and meat will seduce you. The grape is capable of striking the perfect balance between power and finesse. Consequently, good Syrah works well with all sorts of food.

Syrah also represents a great value.Over the past few years, sales of the

varietal have dropped steadily, leading many California winemakers to joke that that it’s easier to get rid of a case of pneumonia than a case of Syrah.

Consumer preference partially explains this drop. Although many Cali-

fornia winemakers have spent the past decade hoping that Syrah would be the state’s next great varietal, consumers remain more interested in Cabernet Sauvignon and Chardonnay.

Consumer confusion also explains the slide in demand. Even wine con-noisseurs have a difficult time distin-guishing between Syrah and Shiraz.

Technically, the only difference between the two is location. When Syrah was taken to Australia in the mid-1800s, local winemakers started calling the grape “Shiraz,” and the name stuck. The climate is quite different in Australia, though, so the grape tends to produce riper, fruitier wines with higher alcohol and lower acid. Generally speaking, these are your prototypical “fruit bombs” -- they can be deliciously hedonistic, but even the best ones are difficult to pair with most meals.

Across Europe, the United States, and most everywhere else, vintners call the variety “Syrah.” When wine-makers use the Australian moniker -- as they often do in New Zealand and South Africa, and sometimes in the United States -- they’re typically trying to convey that they’re making the wine in the archetypical Australian style.

Consumers also confuse Syrah with Petite Sirah. While the grapes are distant relatives, they’re com-pletely different.

As a result of these factors, good Syrah is generally quite affordable -- especially when compared to other varietals.

n the United States, many of the best Syrahs come from vineyards along California’s coast -- from the Santa Ynez Valley and Paso Robles along the Central Coast, to the Santa Lucia Highlands in Monterey, to the

Russian River Valley and Dry Creek in Sonoma. In Washington, stunning Syrahs are coming from the Columbia Valley and Walla Walla Valley, and Oregon’s Rogue Valley is producing many impressive wines.

You’ll notice that all these areas are relatively cool. Although Syrah is a farmer’s dream -- reasonably easy to grow and fairly resistant to disease -- it shines when grown in cooler areas, resulting in complex, vibrant, more aromatic wines. When grown in warmer climates, it’s too easy to produce Syrahs that are flabby and raisiny.

At your local wine shop, Qupe’s “Central Coast” Syrah is an excel-lent wine for $15 -- and for just a few dollars more, you can explore Syrahs from producers like Landmark and Rosenblum. If you’re interested in exploring some smaller, family win-eries -- and live in a state where you can order wine online -- Novy Family Wines and Cabot Vineyards are two fantastic producers that make afford-able Syrah.

If you belong to the bunch of shoe crazy lot, you definitely realize how much can a pair of shoes accentuate your glamor quotient and enhance your overall look. Just as makeup and clothing trends update with the change in seasons, trends in shoe collection also undergo constant change.

While there are some shoes that are more comfortable than stylish, there are others that are glamorous and sexy. It’s you who have to decide what kind of shoes will be a better fit for you. So, brace yourself to acquaint yourself with the most happening of the spring 2012 shoe trends:

top 5 sHoe trends For summer 2012

Metallic Toes – Considered to be solving more of a practical purpose earlier of increasing the longevity of shoes, metallic toes have now become the most popular shoe trend of the mainstream 2012 collection.

Braided Sandals – Back with a bang will be braided sandals walking the ramp again in spring 2012. Unusual braiding styles and bright colors enhances the oomph exuded by these beauties.

Shining Shoes – No! Do not mistake them to be your footwear that goes with your sexy halloween costumes only. Shining shoes look sensational and make for a great party wear. You may want to team them with one of your shiny sequins dresses. Golden and silver colors are sure to give you the flattering show-stopper-attention.

Transparent Shoes – Okay, the transparent shoes intro-duced last year didn’t appeal much to anyone but this year the number of designers who decid-ed to take this trend forward has increased dramatically. Now, the sheer vinyl shoes simply sees to be the trend that people were earlier hesitant to try.

Pointed Toes – Rounded toes have finally taken a backseat after stealing the thunder since a couple of seasons, giving way to pointed toes. You will see pointed toes featured on shoes, however booties and sandals will still continue to have roounded toes mostly.

Now that you know the upcoming shoe trends for spring 2012, go grab some of these elegant beauties and be the first one to flaunt the shoe trend this season.

literaCy proJeCt “Fore dreams” a sWinging

suCCess!The glistening Pacific Coast and picturesque views on the South Course at

Pelican Hill Golf Club were the perfect setting for the Literacy Project Founda-tion (LPF) to host their first annual golf tournament. The “Fore Dreams” field of golfers experienced a first class tournament event with personal caddies accompanying each foursome, luxury premiums in signature duffel bags, and were given a warm welcome by Rockstar Energy Drink Models sporting Scottish outfits of golf berets and suspenders.

The objective of the “Fore Dreams” Pacific Coast Invitation was to bring together passionate supporters who care to give students with lesser means the gift of literacy. The event also raised awareness for LPF’s mission to implement “GET SET READ!” literacy programs into classrooms, after-school environments, and nonprofit organizations that serve underprivileged children facing challenges of illiteracy and improve their reading skills level…free of charge!

After a gorgeous day of golf on one of the Top 100 US Public Golf Courses (Golf Magazine), the 225 guest crowd of golfers, wives and friends gathered for dinner and dancing in the exquisite Mar Vita Ballroom accompanied by the live sounds of “Mr. J”. The festivities began with cocktails and hors d’oeuvres on the balcony overlooking beautiful, panoramic views of the Pacific Ocean. While the sun set, guests moved inside to enjoy a four-course Pelican Hill Resort surf and turf gourmet dinner complimented by exquisite wines.

The program began with co-chairs Jeannie Lawrence and Sue Tucker introducing the winning teams and presenting awards. Sponsor Gary Brewer of Digital Eye Studios and his teammates Gary Barker, Steve Golan, and Tom Fashing took first place in the Four Player Scramble with a low score of 55. Paul Fuzzard, Jeff Fuzzard, Kevin Kelly, and Brian Cameron came in 2nd and Steve Johnson, Drew Mumford, Gary Lastinger, and Mitch Wright settle for 3rd.

Major sponsors recognized included First Foundation Advisors, Safety Sup-ply America, Rockstar Energy Drink, Riviera Magazine, Rancho Las Lomas, Digital Eye Media , Pelican Hill Resort, Svedka Vodka, Strategic Perception, Inc., Janie Merkle/Re/Max Fine Homes, and Pascal Restaurants.

Following the awards was an inspiring presentation by LPF’s Master Teach-er Neil Carter. Carter touched on real life stories of underprivileged children lacking the confidence and skills needed to read effectively. He educated the crowd on the benefits of LPF and brought the crisis of struggling at risk students who could become illiterate adults to the forefront. After Carter’s statement on the significant impact the Foundation makes on these kinds of kids, auctioneer Jim Nye started the paddle action to ask for support. One of the most amazing parts of the night was when Nye warmed up the crowd’s bidding by auctioning off a full glass of water! Supporter Dave Wheeler and LPF Co-Founder Steve Tucker battled the top bid to $1,000 and then settled by each matching the bid, making a total contribution of $2,000 for an 8 oz. of Newport’s finest H20.

After auction paddles flashed left and right raising an additional $5,500, three spectacular high value items with a combined value of over $14,000 were auction live. Janie Merkle won an Exclusive Wine Dinner at Rancho Las Lomas featuring Executive Chef Pascal Olhats. Drew Mumford took home a Pelican Hill Weekend Golf Get-away and Oma Tally won a seven-night Wind-star Caribbean Cruise. Additionally, guest bid on an array of silent auction prizes varying from fine wine and signed memorabilia to romantic getaways.

Hollywood resident Fred Davis III of Strategic Perception, Inc. stated, “Pelican was gorgeous, the activities imaginative, the after-party with Mr. J’s band the best ever! And, this was your FIRST year? Can only imagine what

future years will bring!” Sponsors Pam and husband Alex Munro were the last to leave the dance floor and promised to be back next year by saying, “This is one of the best golf tournaments we have ever attended, count us in next year and we’ll spread the good word!”

The Literacy Project Foundation brings the gift of literacy to at-risk and disadvantaged children to help them increase their reading skill levels, en-abling them to become self-sufficient, productive and contributing members of society.

If you’re thinking about getting a new pet, con-sider going to an animal shelter to find that new family member. There are about 3,500 shelters in the United States that serve an estimated 5 to 7 mil-lion homeless animals, according to the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals.

Why adopt from a shelter?You will make a pet happy. By adopting from a

private humane society or animal shelter, breed rescue group, or the local animal control agency, you’ll help a homeless pet find a new home.

You will receive a healthy pet. Most shelters fol-low strict medical protocols including examinations when pets come in and vaccinations before they leave. In addition to medical care, shelters also screen animals for specific temperaments and behaviors to match each pet with the perfect fam-ily. Animal shelters have happy, healthy pets just waiting for someone to take them home.

You will support your community and save money at the same time. Adopting from an animal shelter is usually less expensive, as your local shelter will just ask for a moderate adoption fee that will mainly cover basic routine medical care costs. Shelter pets are also usually already spayed or neutered and vaccinated. Finally, you help promote responsible pet ownership through your community.

Questions to askWhen you visit an animal shelter, ask the staff

some key questions. Ask about:The pet’s history – Find out as much as you can

about the pet’s background. Was it a stray or given up by its owner? Did it come from a loving home? Did it live with other pets or with children?

Medical and behavioral assessments – Find out what evaluations have been done and what lifestyle would suit it best. Ask about the pet’s interaction with the staff, and what their impressions are.

The adoption timeline and process – Some shel-ters will let you take an animal home right away, while others take a slower approach. Find out what to expect up front.

Spaying/neutering – Most shelters have policies to make sure that animals leave spayed or neu-tered. Some take care of this before the animals are available for adoption. Others schedule the procedure when the animal goes home and either finalize the adoption once it is performed, or refund the spay/neuter deposit once proof is provided.

Every dog and cat deserves a home. When you adopt from a shelter, you provide a pet with an-other chance at finding love and a forever home.

ImaginOcean, a one-of-a-kind live black-light puppet show created by John Tartaglia, will make its Seger-strom Center for the Arts debut in the popular Family Series February 4 and 5 in Samueli Theater. John Tartaglia’s ImaginOcean follows sea creatures Tank, Bubbles and Dorsel and three best friends who just happen to be fish, as they set off on a remarkable journey of discovery. And it all starts with a treasure map. As they swim off in search of clues, they’ll sing, they’ll dance and they’ll make new friends, including everyone in the audience. Ultimately they discover the greatest treasure of all: friendship.

Jam-packed with original music ranging from big band to R&B, Imagi-nOcean is a blast – from the first big splash to the last wave goodbye. Time Out New York KIDS called this colorful and wonderfully imaginative family-friendly show “absolutely magi-cal,” and BroadwayWorld.com said it was “perfectly delightful.”

Each performance will include free pre-show creative play activities and a reading area with an assortment of children’s books, beginning one hour before each performance. The

Center’s Education and Community Programs Department is offering these activities to pro-vide young people and their parents more op-portunities to play cre-atively together. Stud-ies show creative play is critical in helping chil-dren develop their abil-ity to think and problem solve. ImaginOcean is recommended for chil-dren ages 4 – 8. Tickets are $20 and are avail-able online at SCFTA.org, at the Box Office at 600 Town Center Drive in Costa Mesa or by calling (714) 556-2787. For inquiries about group ticket discounts for 15 or more, call the Group Services office at (714) 755-0236.

The TTY number is (714) 556-2746. The performance on Sunday, February at 1 p.m. will be signlan-guage interpreted.

Segerstrom Center for the Arts applauds The Charles & Mildred Schnurmacher Foundation, Inc. for

being the sponsor of the 2011-2012 Family Series. OC Family is the Me-dia Partner of the Family Series.

Tartaglia earned a Tony® Award nomination for his performance in the Tony-winning Broadway musical, Avenue Q, for which he originated the roles of Princeton and Rod. He has appeared in many other Broadway productions including Disney’s Beau-ty and the Beast (Lumiere) and Shrek

the Musical (Pinocchio). A 10-year veteran of Sesame Street, Tartaglia was one of the youngest puppeteers ever to perform on the show, starting at the age of 16. He has also been seen on Disney Channel’s Bear in the Big Blue House and JoJo’s Circus as well as Discovery Channel’s Animal Jam. He is a former host of the

New York Philharmonic Young People’s Concerts.

2012



January 13, 2012

Classic masterpieces soar with sizzling new energy as Pacific Sym-phony introduces two hot young stars to Orange County for the concert “Beethoven and Benedetti.” First, the very beautiful and highly captivating violin virtuoso Nicola Benedetti, at just 24 years old, wraps her arms around the ardor and Romanticism of Bruch’s most-famous Violin Concerto No. 1, which she recorded on Decca records with the Czech Philharmonic in 2010. “Nicola Benedetti is one of the youngest and most alluring of this species [violinists] to emerge in the past decade.”—Limelight Maga-zine. Then, internationally acclaimed conductor Christoph König leads the Symphony on the sublime and lyrical journey of Beethoven’s Symphony No. 4, a profound and joyous piece often overshadowed by his third and fifth symphonies. Opening the con-cert, Debussy’s Petite Suite, originally written for four-hand piano, creates a rocking, dreamlike sail beneath the moonlight. Taking place Thursday through Saturday, Feb. 2-4, at 8 p.m, the concert’s preview talk with Alan Chapman begins at 7 p.m. Tickets are $25-$110; for more information or to purchase tickets call 714-755-5799 or visit www.PacificSymphony.org.

“Benedetti plays with brilliant virtu-

osity, absolute clarity, and a gentle, dolce tone that makes her perfor-mances especially personal and attractive.”—Allmusic.com

“My own interpretation of any given piece is never consistent,” says Benedetti.

“Each time I perform a work, some-thing changes. It’s not because I am trying to do anything different, but instead because varying emotions, environments, musical partnerships and acoustics inspire different ap-proaches. It’s a natural process that I think is necessary in order to give an honest performance.

“What I like most about the Bruch concerto is its optimism and open-ness, with the exception of certain troubled moments in the first move-ment. The second movement is un-doubtedly the heart of this concerto and is in my opinion the reason the concerto deserves the popularity it holds.”

The Symphony’s 2011-12 sea-son—dubbed the “Year of the Violin” by Music Director Carl St.Clair—features three key Romantic violin concertos, Mendelssohn’s (premiered in1845), Tchaikovsky’s (1878) and Bruch’s (1868), which falls in the mid-dle with its powerful emotional pull, overarching drama and double- and

triple-stops demanding the virtuosity of Benedetti.

“The Germans have four violin concertos. The greatest, most un-compromising is Beethoven’s. The one by Brahms vies with it in serious-ness. The richest, the most seductive, was written by Max Bruch…” said the great violinist Joseph Joachim, who performed the premiere of Bruch’s concerto.

Violinist Benedetti has captivated audiences and critics alike with her musicality and poise, winning the BBC Young Musician of the Year in 2004, making her Proms debut in 2010 and recording multiple records on the Decca label. Her new album “Italia” releases in the U.S. on Jan. 24, and explores Baroque masterpieces from her Italian homeland (although she now lives in Scotland) including Vivaldi and Tartini. Playing the 1712 Earl Spencer Stradivarius courtesy of Jonathan Moulds, Benedetti’s 2011-12 season includes her debut with the London Symphony Orchestra (LSO) at the Enescu Festival in Bucharest and with the Netherlands Radio Philharmonic, San Francisco Sym-phony, Zurich Chamber, Cincinnati Symphony, Detroit Symphony and Hallé orchestras.

Benedetti is also widely respected

for her committment to working with young people. In 2010, she became involved in El Sistema Scotland’s Big Noise project. As a board member and the program’s official musical “Big Sister,” Benedetti makes regular vis-its to Raploch, Scotland, to conduct master classes and work closely with the children.

König is a conductor of deep intelli-gence and musicality. His conducting is marked by an energetic and serious approach to musical collaboration and a commitment to thoughtful and stimulating programming. He cur-rently holds positions as principal conductor of the Orquestra Sinfónica do Porto Casa da Música (2009-14) in Portugal and principal conductor and music director of the Solistes Européens, Luxembourg. In Porto, he is currently conducting a Mahler cycle, which included a performance of Symphony No. 1 at the Vienna Konzerthaus last season, followed by tours in Brazil (July 2011) and northern Europe (October 2011).

Pacific Symphony’s Classical se-ries performances are made possible by the Hal and Jeanette Segerstrom Family Foundation, with additional support from American Airlines, The Westin South Coast Plaza, KUSC and PBS SoCal.
