February 11: Liberators: Fighting on Two Fronts in World War II.
The unknown story of African-American battalions in World War II, focusing on the actions of the 761st, which helped spearhead Patton's Third Army and liberated Nazi concentration camps. This powerful film vividly records the experiences of the soldiers, who were utterly unprepared for the atrocities they witnessed, as well as the astonishment of the camp inmates, some of whom had never seen a black person before. It bears witness to the courage of Holocaust survivors and the heroism of men forced to fight on two fronts - battling discrimination at home as they fought for their country overseas. This outstanding documentary is narrated by Denzel Washington and Louis Gossett, Jr.

February 18: Glory.
Starring Denzel Washington, Morgan Freeman, and Matthew Broderick, this 1989 movie chronicles the all-black 54th Regiment of the Massachusetts Volunteer Infantry. Their final assault on Fort Wagner, S.C. demonstrated their bravery and turned a bitter defeat into a symbolic victory that brought recognition to black soldiers.

February 25: Buffalo Soldiers.
Starring Danny Glover, this 1997 movie tells the true story of the black cavalry corps known as the Buffalo Soldiers. These troops patrolled America's west after the Civil War. In addition to keeping the peace, these men had to fight the racism of their commanders and other white soldiers.

Leaders Who Coach

15 Feb 2012 18:30:00 GMT

Online Webinar
Wednesday, February 15, 2012, 1:30 – 2:30pm

Leaders wear many different “hats” to accomplish whatever task is before them.
As leaders we are constantly looking for (or we should be) more effective, efficient and productive ways to motivate and challenge those we lead. This webinar will invite you to try on the coaching hat.

We believe that a leader who coaches can:

Help their employees set better goals and then reach those goals.
Ask their employees to do more than they would have done on their own.
Focus their employees to accomplish results quicker.
Support employees in developing flexibility and change-readiness.
Provide the tools, support and structure to accomplish more.

Bette Davis does stellar work as a Malaysian plantation owner’s wife on trial for murder. This steamy melodrama, based on a short story by W. Somerset Maugham, was nominated for seven Academy Awards. Directed by William Wyler, the movie costars Herbert Marshall, James Stephenson and Gale Sondergaard as a particularly menacing native woman.

Brian Lavery, one of the world’s leading authorities on the sailing fighting ship, is traveling to the United States and specifically Virginia from Greenwich, United Kingdom to discuss “In Nelson’s Shadow: The Royal Navy in 1812.” His discussion of the War of 1812 from the perspective of the Royal Navy, considered at the time the most powerful navy in the world, promises to be compelling and informative.

Operation Sail, Inc. is a non-profit organization established in 1961 with the endorsement of President John F. Kennedy. Backed by a Joint Congressional Resolution, its mission is to advance sail training and promote goodwill among nations. To date, it has held five international sailing events—in 1964, 1976, 1986, 1992 and 2000—each tied to a landmark historical event and each culminating in a traditional Parade of Sail in New York Harbor.

TICKET PRICES: VIP $141 / $111 / $91 / $67
Since her 1993 debut album, Diana Krall has been nothing short of spectacular. Nineteen years later she can look
back over a stellar career path: “When I Look in Your Eyes” earned her a Grammy for Best Jazz Vocal; “The Look of Love” was a #1 bestseller in the U.S.; “The Girl in the Other Room” was her first album to focus on her own songwriting (with six turns co-written with husband Elvis Costello). Her 12th and latest album, “Quiet Nights,” (with Brazil as a musical point of reference) is very intimate: “It’s a sensual record … and it’s intended to be that way,” she states.
