Gabrielle Hamilton "Blood, Bones and Butter" - Random House, New York
The excellently written "Blood, Bones & Butter" found plenty of admirers of it in Louisville and 400 of them came out on a sunny
Saturday afternoon to listen to its author, Gabrielle Hamilton, one of America's highly celebrated chefs.Through her book and the always highly anticipated Q & A session at LFPL,
Ms Hamilton opened the door for her audience to glimpse at the reality of daily restaurant and commercial cooking. She gave a healthy
dose of realism for many in the room and a better understanding of the never-ending challenge in the real restaurant world (versus the
shiny/bubbly TV chef) with balancing between staff, payroll, taxes, food cost, the impatient guest... and her maintaining creativity
and culinary excellence throughout many years. Gabrielle Hamilton seems to have found a mise en place that works for her and
Prune, her revered restaurant on the Lower East Side in NYC.

Ingrid Betancourt "Even Silence has an End" My six years of captivity in the Colombian jungle - Penguin Books, New York
The large crowd at the Louisville Free Public Library experienced a memorable evening, when Interviewer Craig Buthod (LFPL Director)
unleashed a moving presentation that was informative, as it was emotional, when former presidential candidate of Colombia, Ingrid
Betancourt described her ordeal as a prisoner for six and one-half years in the Colombian jungle. When Ms. Betancourt talked about
her and her fellow prisoner's years in captivity, it brought
home and made close and personal the still vivid headlines from just a few short years ago reporting on Ms. Betancourt's capture by the
Colombian rebel army, FARC. Memories of headline news and interference by world leaders on her and other unfortunate jungle prisoner's
behalf sharing the jungle prison camp with her were no longer abstract and distant memories. They became real and felt genuinely by so
many in the audience. Particularly, observing the expressions by Colombian and South American compatriots' of Ingrid in the audience
raised the question, what have their experiences been in the past in their homeland that makes them now live in the U.S.A.? When Ms.
Betancourt ended her talk, it took a while for the audience to return to their actual surrounding before ending the evening with a
reverberating standing ovation for Ingrid Betancourt, who seemed to have a similar transformation returning in a time-travel from the jungle to Louisville 2011.

Dr. Laura Carstensen "A LONG BRIGHT FUTURE" Happieness, Health,and Financial Security in an Age of Increased
Longevity - Public Affairs, New York
Laura L. Carstensen, Ph.D. is a professor of psychology, and the founding director of the Stanford Center on Longevity.
Her research has been supported for more than twenty years be
the National Institute on Aging. A Guggenheim Fellow, an NIH Merit Award winner and a member of the MacArthur Foundation's Research
Network on an Aging Society. Dr. Carstensen:" What was once a sprint will now be a marathon. We'll need to pace ourselves accordingly." We need to completely
transform our lifetime work cycle to incorporate our bonus years throughout our lives." Adaptations like sabbaticals, shorter work
weeks, more flexible working hours, or longer vacations that employees would actually be
encouraged to take could make employment less of a brain drain," she writes. "These would be substantial changes to the American
business culture, but they make sense in the context of the much longer employment arc occasioned by greater life expectancy."

David Eagleman "INCOGNITO" - New York
This 
evening with
author and neuroscientist David Eagleman at LFPL, and over 600 visitors brought home the author's
fascinating subject matter of his new book "Incognito" and the human brain. With a powerful and widely understandable talk,
followed by a Q&A session, a very engaged audience was able to follow Eagleman into a little better understanding of the
complexities and secrets of the brain, as well as, his exciting studies and laboratory tests at Baylor College of Medicine.
Mesmerized by his speech, Eagleman provided many of the library visitors with a memorable evening and insights that, we
were told, sparked prolonged conversations in the days following his appearance in Louisville.

Kenneth Slawenski "J.D.Salinger:A Life" - Random House 
One of the most popular and mysterious figures in American literary history, J.D. Salinger eluded fans and journalists for most of his life.
Now comes a new biography that Peter Achroyed in The Times of London calls " energetic and magnificently researched" - a book from
which "a true picture of Salinger emerges." Filled with new information and revelation- generated from countless interviews, letters, and
public records- J.D. Salinger presents an extraordinary life that spanned nearly the entire twentieth century.
" A welcome trove of information...Slawenski enthrallingly illuminates what turned Salinger into an extraordinary literary phenomenon" -The Sunday Times
"Slawenski sets about his task with such unblushing love and zest that his book is as irresistible to me as Salinger himself... I think you get from him
a rather better idea of what Salinger was really like and why he lived his life as he did than you might from a biography which is licensed to discribe itself as 'scholarly' or 'authorized.'
If you can imagine Salinger having a soft spot for any book about him... then Slawenski's might be the one." -The Spectator

Bestselling author Steven Levy at the Louisville Free Public Library
In The Plex, the fascinating story of Google
The Internet has changed most every aspect of how we live our lives, and Google is changing how the Internet works and is shaping the
lives of the people who use it. Google has even entered the vernacular; "Google it" is as common as any phrase we can imagine.
Journalist for Wired and author Steven Levy discussed his latest book, In The Plex , (Simon & Schuster, April, 2011), in Louisville.
In the Plex is a fascinating look at how Google was founded, how it has evolved and grown, and the way it continues to influence how
people use the Internet.
Levy is no stranger to Google's co-founders Sergey Brin and Larry Page. "I first met them at a Halloween party. Both were in full
costume as they explained to me how Google works," said Levy, "and still I was impressed." When he decided to write the book, Levy
was given a rare opportunity to go deep inside both the corporate and technical world of Google to find out just how this massive
search engine works, and what makes it so popular with so many people. Levy traveled with Google folks around the world."They
think like the Internet works," said Levy, adding that he was given a front row seat to new and innovative Google products as they
were developed.
Levy says that Google's success is not just a matter of being in the right place at the right time. Levy says the company's founders
came armed with a screwed business sense and a sly sense of humor, a business plan that has allowed Google to become an astonishing
success and still be true to its moral principles."They defend and embrace their failures," said Levy.
And what is next for Google? "Improving and perfecting ways to move large amounts of data, and a self-driving car," Levy said.
"Google it" and see for yourself.

# 1 New York Times BESTSELLING Author Suze Orman "The Money Class" by Spiegel & Grau.
TWICE Named by Time Magazine as one of the 100 most influential people
in the world, Suze was also named by Forbes as one of the 100 most powerful women in the world today.
It may seem that Suze Orman would get tired of answering questions about money. After all, she is the Emmy Award-winning host of one of the top rated programs on CNBC, she's the author of 10 best-selling books,
and she is one of the most sought after motivational speakers in the world today. "I never get tired or frustrated answering questions," said Orman. "Everyone is important and everyone's needs and concerns are important,"
she said. Orman proved that point at the Louisville Free Public Library speaking to a large audience at the expansive North Lobby.
Orman's latest book, The Money Class, is a master class in personal finance. The book takes a close look at the "American Dream" that for generations of Americans seemed to work just fine. Not anymore, according
to Orman, who says that most every aspect of that dream is under threat and that most people just don't know where to turn for help. "We did
it to ourselves and now we must create a new American Dream," says Orman. Her advice is to make decisions based solely in the truth, especially concerning money.
She advises to think long and hard before spending even one dollar of your hard-earned cash. "Stand in your truth," says Orman, "and the new American Dream can become
a reality and work for you."

Author Parag Khanna, in a fascinating and extensive talk at the Louisville Free Public Library, presented his newest book
How to Run the World 
published by Random House, to a closely listening audience. 
Laying out the key elements of his thought provoking book
captured the attending audience - among them, many of the most active citizens in Louisville, that appear to prescribe to the phrase "act locally, think globally."
Esquire Magazine names Khanna one of the "75 Most Influential People of the 21st Century," while Eric Schmidt of Google says, " By exhorting leaders to make use of new,
open technologies that encourage more diverse and dynamic marketplaces, Parag Khanna makes a powerful argument: the world can become smarter than the sum of its parts. We need to pay attention to his ideas."
Today's crises - from financial instability to natural disaster - require solutions that are bold but also pragmatic. In How to Run the World , Parag Khanna
delivers both. G-20 leaders and corporate executives need to urgently read this book and learn how to really move beyond business as
usual." - Klaus Schwab, Founder and Executive Chairman, World economic Forum

Bestselling author Karen Abbott "American Rose" The Life and Times of Gypsy Rose Lee
has been called the most famous stripper since Salome.
While that might be true, her story is about far more than a woman her clothes off in public. It's about a woman who was an inspiration to others during a deep, dark depression. At one point
she was even more popular than Eleanor Roosevelt. From Vaudeville to Burlesque to legend, Gypsy's story is one that could only be
made in America. Author Karen Abbott's book American Rose: A Nation Laid Bare: The Life and Times of Gypsy Rose Lee (Random House
2010) is a carefully crafted biography of a woman who herself was a carefully crafted "brand" before such brands really existed.
Abbott's book tells the vivid story of a complicated, conflicted life. "Gypsy's greatest secret is that she really didn't like her
creation," said Abbott. "The character was very limiting, and Gypsy never admitted that in public."
NPR host Michele Norris inspiring memoir "The Grace of Silence"
voices on public radio. As co-host of the popular "All Things Considered" radio program, Norris tells the stories of
people from all walks of life in America and around the world. However, it took writing a book for her to truly learn about the history of
her own family.
alienation was always of paramount importance.
One story led to another and each one was more animated than the one before. "The more I learned the more I had to know; the more I knew the
more I had to learn," said Norris.

Humanitarian and bestselling author Greg Mortenson at LFPL
Greg Mortenson is widely known as the author of the book Three Cups of
Tea, now on the New York Times bestseller list for 195 weeks, and the follow-up bestseller Stones into Schools. Nominated twice for
the Nobel Peace Prize, Mortensen's story is one of explorer, educator, and most importantly humanitarian. He talked about his remarkably
interesting life before some 900 people at the Louisville Free Public Library on November 2.
to meet the growing needs of children and young people in Pakistan and Afghanistan. He is the co-founder of the Central Asia Institute
which promotes education and literacy, especially for girls; and is the founder of Pennies for Peace designed to educate children about
the world beyond their own experience. To date, Mortenson's work has helped make some 161 schools in rural and often volatile regions of
Pakistan and Afghanistan a reality. These schools educate more than 58,000 children, including 44,000 girls. Without education, he says
things will never change, and he views education as the biggest challenge in this region in this century. Seeing impoverished kids has made
an enormous impact on him. "The only way to solve poverty is to touch it, to feel it, to think it," he said. "It can't be solved around
a table behind closed doors." Mortenson's philosophy is simple but profound. "It's about community service and it's about education," he said, adding that he
tries to apply something his grandmother said to his everyday life: "Do one good deed a day - it becomes a habit."

Sena Jeter Naslund New York Times Bestselling Author of AHAB'S WIFE presenting her new novel "ADAM & EVE"
Bestselling author Sena Jeter Naslund presented her new book to an LFPL audience in a near capacity filled house, in conversation with PBS affiliated KET host, Bill Goodman.
One could feel appreciation in the audience for Naslund's novels and her remarkably creative writing.
A delightful evening, excellently hosted by Bill Goodman in ways that allowed Naslund to answer his and later the audience's
questions extensively and fully satisfying her reader' s curiosity. The somewhat unusual atmosphere for an LFPL Authors Series - multiple TV cameras with the
necessary techniques for live to tape (airs Nov. 14. at KET 1) quickly dissolved, as the audience immersed itself in a pleasant
intellectual conversation between Naslund and Goodman.
Sue Monk Kidd and Ann Kidd Taylor "Traveling with Pomegranates"
New York Times Bestselling novel, The Secret Life of Bees, which has sold over 6 million copies to
date. Since then, Fox Searchlight Pictures released a box-office hit movie based on the novel, featuring a star-studded cast.
Traveling with Pomegranates is Sue Monk Kidd's first book since her last blockbuster novel, The Mermaid Chair. Part travel story, part spiritual quest,
and part induction into feminine passages, it is a truly distinct book, featuring alternating chapters from both authors, set against the age old grandeur of
these inspiring and deeply symbolic places, from Athens and Eleusis to Paris and Rocomador.
At the event at LFPL a nearly packed auditorium with a
capacity above 400 seats, was filled with women, mothers and daughters that were very attached to the subject and grateful for the opportunity to listen to
Sue Monk Kidd and her daughter, Ann Kidd Taylor.
Traveling with Pomegranates is published by the Penguin Group (USA)

Lighting Their Fire by Rafe Esquith
What makes a teacher so special? It's hard to put into words, and it is a question perhaps better answered by students.Rafe Esquith
has taught many kids
over the past 28 years, and most of them would sum up their time spent with him something like
this: "He makes it hard, but he makes it fun." J.Collings - MIM/MEETT Associates, producers.
Facebook at the Louisville Free Public Library
If technology is at the center of human experience, then Facebook must be the heart. It may not be everywhere just yet,
but this social networking site is making every effort to get there soon and it's changing the way people live their lives, 
one user at
a time. Author David Kirkpatrick thinks the site will lead to a more transparent world and, for now, the site is unshakable. Kirkpatrick
led a lively discussion about Facebook at a program at the Louisville Free Public Library on July 7. About 400 tech-savvy people (most
of them Facebook users) listened as Kirkpatrick discussed his book The Facebook Effect: The Inside Story of the Company That is Connecting the World.
Kirkpatrick talked about Facebook's rapid growth over the past four years to now about 500 million users. "Facebook makes every user a
broadcaster." said Kirkpatrick. He equates the site's popularity to three unique features: people use their real names and identity;
the site offers a chance to connect or reconnect with real friends (those met in the real world); and the site creates a platform of extraordinary
viral speed, one which delivers messages very quickly and efficiently.
As for the Facebook's future, Kirkpatrick sees the social network becoming a part of the fabric and infrastructure of the Internet.
It's already spawning a movie due out this fall. "It won't go away soon, it's just too popular with too many people," said Kirkpatrick
adding another reason for the site's enduring status, "There is no one way that people use Facebook. It's totally up to the individual."
Published by Simon & Schuster, released June 2010.

Jonathan Alter, expected at the Louisville Free Public Library with great anticipation did not disappoint his audience in its
fully packed auditorium. He offered insights into the Obama White House, which the captivated audience was eager to hear. His broad approach offered valuable comparisons to former
Presidents and their handlings of major crisis situations, such as the Great Depression during Franklin D. Roosevelt's tenure.
Long book sales and signing lines affirmed the interest in Mr. Alter's "The Promise", which concluded the evening with a very satisfied audience. 
The great interest in Mr. Alter's event ended with an additional media interview for later airing. For everyone that could not attend the evening at the library, an equally insightful radio
hour with Jonathan Alter was aired and is repeated on WFPL's "State of Affairs".

>>> Ja, das war schon einmalig. Wir haben zwar nur ein "kleines" Stück USA kennengelernt, das jedoch so viele Facetten aufweist, dass ich diese vielen Facetten erst noch verarbeiten muss.
Dazu kommen die vielen Menschen, die uns begegnet sind, offen, interessiert, gastfreundlich. Das ist schon allein eine Reise wert gewesen. Dass Du selbst alle Wege bereitet und Türen geöffnet hast,
ist nicht allein auf Deine engagierte und kompetente Arbeitsweise zurückzuführen, sondern auch auf Deine große Erfahrung in vielen Jahren USA. Einen Reiseführer wie Dich zu haben,
ist ein Erlebnis. >>>

>>> Well, this was unparalleled ! Even if we only experienced a "small" piece of the USA, which however, had so many facets that now I have to first digest
all these components. Additionally the many people we met; open, interested and welcoming. This alone was worth the trip. That you yourself laid out the
path and opened the doors is not only verification of your committed and competent work method rather, but also of your great know-how in many years in the
USA. To have had a guide like you is an experience. >>> -translation-
In her new novel, Elizabeth Berg weaves a beautifully written and emotionally resonant story about women and men reconnecting with one another -and themselves- at their fortieth high school class reunion. >>
The sparkling new auditorium at the Louisville Free Public Library was filled with 300 plus, mostly women, of all ages in devoted anticipation to
listen and
see in person their favorite novelist. At least it appeared this way that Elizabeth Berg was their foremost favorite and as one fan stated
during the Q&A session: she had read every book of Ms. Berg and many of them multiple times. Ms. Berg did not disappoint her audience and provided just
enough charming insight into "The Last Time I saw You" for her fans to eagerly join Barnes & Noble book sale after the program. The long
waiting line for sales and book signing in Louisville was also affirmation why Elizabeth Berg is a New York Times Bestseller list author, who has more
than 20 books out with a number of them translated into many other languages. Produced by MIM/MEETT Associates for LFPL/photos MIM, Inc.

Sara Lawrence-Lightfoot - It was a fascinating evening last Wednesday when author Professor. Dr Sara
Lawrence-Lightfoot spoke to an audience of nearly 400, of all ages about the
"THIRD CHAPTER -- Passion, Risk and Adventure in the 25 Years after 50" at
LFPL. Professorial and engaging, she laid out the findings of some of her
individual case studies for this book of people who have made drastic
changes in their live's after the age of 50. One could feel the eager
tension of many in the audience being in search of their own desires to
change directions and looking for encouragement from the author to give life
in its third chapter a new and fulfilling meaning. While an evening like
this at LFPL cannot totally fulfill such a desire, the reaction by the
audience to Lawrence-Lightfoot's program was explicit satisfaction - it
ended with a lasting standing ovation for Lawrence-Lightfoot and among many
in the audience having inspired conversation.

On a cold, wintery day, the Louisville Free Public Library (LFPL) received a warm reception
nationally and at home January 11, 2010, when its Library Director Craig Buthod was honored for his visionary and persistent work at
LFPL, as Librarian of the Year, by the prestigious national Library Journal . The same day, acclaimed columnist,
author and personal financial expert Jane Bryant Quinn visited LFPL, drawing nearly 600 people out of their warm homes into a winter
night to listen to her excellent prepared lecture/talk. A very attentive and similarly well prepared audience was ready to test Ms. Quinn's
financial advice and analysis -which she passed with ease.
As the Library Journal points out, despite major setbacks, it is Buthod's vision and persistence, as well as his ability to turn setbacks
into opportunities for the city's library system and at the end have everyone to come out ahead is what singled him out from strong
competition and awarding him the prestigious title Librarian of the Year 2010. Among the many avenues Buthod pursues is his vision
for broad appeal and a progressive 21st Century library system for Louisville citizens. He implemented a superb series of Programs for the
Public, ranging from exhibits to an excellent authors and lecture series. Kicking off this series a decade ago was the nation-wide recognized
Gutenberg exhibit which was visited by well over 100,000 people.
We at MIM/MEETT Associates, the concept developer and producer of the Gutenberg exhibit and most of the following exhibits and authors programs
are proud to be contributors during these years that made Louisville and its Library System stronger and brought additional national and
international recognition to both. Congratulations Craig and LFPL -we're looking forward to a continuing productive relationship.
Weltreiterspiele (World Equestrian Games) Gruppenreise
Um den völlig "überpreisten" Hotels in der Umgebung (15-30 Minuten Anfahrtzeit) von Lexington und Horse
Park, mit oftmals unzureichender Infrastruktur aus dem Weg zu gehen, haben wir uns entschlossen, ein Vollservice-Hotel aber mit etwas lägerem
Anfahrtsweg (50-60 Minuten) zu wählen.
Ein Hotel der guten Mittelklasse, mit einer den amerikanischen Verhältnissen entsprechend guter Infrastruktur bietet diese Lage unseren europäischen Gästen
auch die Möglichkeit außerhalb des Hotels, in wenigen Gehminuten, weitere Restaurants, Supermarkt, Geschäfte und Banken zu erreichen.
Das Hotel selbst verfügt neben Restaurant und Bar, ebenso über einen Fitneßraum, Sauna, Indoor Pool und Business Center. Je nach Belegung
(Hotel wird ausgebucht sein) und Wetter, gibt es eine Außenbar mit Biergarten und live Musik am Wochenende. 
Alle Zimmer sind Doppelzimmer
mit Schreibtisch, Kabel-TV, haben geräumige Badezimmer/WC, Kaffeemaschine, Bügeleisen-/Brett, Telefon, Broadband. Ebenfalls ist das Hotel mit Wireless
Internetverbindung ausgestattet. Ferner bietet das Hotel unseren Gästen einen Shuttle-Service bis zu zehn Kilometer Entfernung an.
Neben den hier genanten Punkten, war es uns vor allen Dingen wichtig, dass unsere Gäste nicht in einem alkoholfreien Hotel, oder sogar
an einem alkoholfreien Ort oder Landkreis untergebracht werden.

The Kentucky Horse Park
A horse lover's paradise in the heart of the Bluegrass
Kentucky is horse country. And it is home to the Kentucky Horse Park, a place that considers the horse a way of life -from equine sport, to art,
to culture. A recent visit proved the point with stunning scenic vistas of rolling bluegrass fields and hills, complete with resident horses
gently grazing and enjoying a playful frolic to a backdrop of intense fall color. During that visit, Associate Director of Marketing and Public
Relations for KHP, C. Rullman offered MIM/MEETT associates -Burkhard Masuhr and Jim Collings -a very up close and personal tour of the park's
facilities.
Along with stunning panoramic views of the bluegrass, the park's 1,200 acres (ca. 400 hectare) is fully equipped to host equine events throughout
the year. Two new arenas, one outdoor and one indoor, are fully functional, state-of-the-art facilities and are usually booked months in advance
for equine events of all kinds regardless of the weather. These new arenas and a vast expanse of land will serve the park well when The FEI
World Equestrian Games come to Kentucky. The games are held for the first in the United States and will be the largest equine sporting event
in the US. More than 500,000 visitors from North America and around the world are expected to visit the games September 25 -October 10, 2010 at
KHP.
The park boasts two museums that are dedicated to the history, art and culture of the horse. The American Saddlebred Museum is a celebration
of Kentucky's first native breed of horse; and The International Museum of the Horse is a Smithsonian Affiliate, dedicated to the history
of the horse and its relationship with humans throughout time. The IMH will host a very special exhibition, A Gift from the Desert: The Art, History
and Culture of the Arabian Horse, opening May 29, 2010. It is the first exhibit of its kind to explore the impact of the Arabian breed on Near
Eastern civilization. More than 350 artifacts from nearly 20 lenders from around the world will chronicle the Arabian horse, from ancient times to the
renaissance of purebred breeding in its ancestral homelands today. This outstanding exhibition will continue through October 15 and will be on display
during the World Equestrian Games.
The Kentucky Horse Park really is THE place to get up close and personal with horses, and 2010 looks like a prime time to visit. Information

Tim Barnwell brings his celebration of Appalachian artistic traditions to Louisville November 30, 2009 with
a collection on exhibit of his skillful photography. His imagery captures a way of life there from the last three decades with striking photos
of the artists, musicians, crafts, workshops and homes in the breathtaking region. Mr. Barnwell's images have been published in many magazines,
including Time and Newsweek . The Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City and the High Museum of Atlanta hold his work in
their permanent collections, as well as others. Hands in Harmony (includes a CD of the traditional Appalachian music).
The New Your Times writes:
'Hands in Harmony: Traditional Crafts and Music in Appalachia'
By TIM BARNWELL
This excellent collection of black and white portraits and oral histories documents the lives of the makers of Appalachian music and traditional
handicrafts, and arrives with a wickedly fine CD. There are photographs here of some well-known people (Doc Watson, Ralph Stanley, Bill Monroe),
but the best are of unknown artists.
Without Appalachian music, Jan Davidson writes in the forward, "there would be no Joan Baez, no
Bob Dylan the folksinger, and surely no Grateful Dead."
