  24-06-2018 22:54 via ocregister.com
  
  At a giant festival, it’s usually the music that brings people together.
  However, local Pasadena organizations had that same goal of connection by setting up interactive arts and crafts stations during Arroyo Seco Weekend.
  Pop up shops were sprinkled around festival grounds, providing interactive activities for music fans to participate in between seeing their favorite bands.
  Here’s some of our favorites:

• Is the Los Angeles Unified School District ‘too big to fail’?

  24-06-2018 22:30 via ocregister.com
  
  The term “too big to fail” entered the popular lexicon a decade ago when the federal government rescued huge banking corporations that were collapsing due to rampant greed and managerial incompetence.
  The phrase might be applied today, with a question mark, to the state’s largest — and nation’s second largest — school district, Los Angeles Unified, whose leaders seem to assume that no matter how irresponsibly they act, the state will rescue them.

• Poland wants us to establish an American base. Let the Germans do it!

  24-06-2018 21:30 via ocregister.com
  
  For years U.S. officials variously demanded, urged, and begged European governments to increase military outlays. For years the Europeans reduced spending, manpower, and procurement. There has been a slight uptick under President Donald Trump, but most NATO members are not going to come close to meeting the official standard of two percent of GDP for defense.
  Now Poland, which fell just short of that level last year, is requesting Washington to establish a permanent base and garrison. Warsaw pro

  24-06-2018 20:56 via ocregister.com
  
  Alanis Morissette hasn’t played live much in recent years — motherhood and marriage and the lure of a normal kind of life kept her off the road but for scattered dates here and there — so of all the bands on the bill at Arroyo Seco Weekend on Sunday the singer-songwriter who burst into worldwide fame in the mid-’90s held the most intrigue.
  The crowd before the Oaks main stage was fuller than for any of the daylight acts for her hour-long set and when she ran on

  As they say at Santa Anita after a close race, hold all tickets.

  NEW YORK – As the 2018 season approached, the Dodgers were proud to call the catching tandem of Yasmani Grandal and Austin Barnes “elite.”
  Right now, they’re only half right.
  Grandal and Barnes continue to rank in the upper echelon of catchers defensively, particularly in the area of pitch framing – the skill most prized by new-age evaluators like the Dodgers’ front office. But offensively, the duo has been far from elite.

  The weather was pretty much perfect for the first day of Arroyo Seco Weekend at Brookside at the Rose Bowl. There was a cool breeze, sunshine and the new configuration of the grounds gave people a lot more elbow room than last year. But one of the coolest aspects of Arroyo Seco is that the thing that defines it isn’t just the music or the audience, but the sense of place. Pasadena has its thumbprints all over the fest.
