If you could choose the circumstances of your own death, would you do it?
I don't just mean the date, time, and location, but also your mental and physical condition, the activity you would be engaged in, your cause of death, and even your sense of fulfillment. In this scenario, as you lay dying, you would have a chance to remember your personal and professional accomplishments, your thoughts and feelings during important events in your life, the knowledge you gained.
The counterbalance would be that you would always know the circumstances of your death. You would know what you needed to accomplish before your time ran out. You would know what you were going to learn and think and feel prior to the actual experience, meaning you would have no way to avoid the inevitable, so everything would take on the sheen of inevitability. Charlie Munger has said, "Tell me where I'm going to die so I won't go there." Given the choice, I think I would prefer not to know.
But if I had to choose, I can't imagine a better death than Sarah Vann's. She died of natural causes on May 25, 2012 in Hawaii. She was 96.
I became a fan of Dr. Vann's work soon after I began studying library history. As she wrote in her dissertation, which she completed at the Graduate Library School at Chicago in 1958, the first modern era of library science education started with Melvil Dewey and lasted until the publication, in 1923, of a report that Charles Williamson prepared for the Carnegie Corporation.
Andrew Carnegie's belief in libraries is well known: the donations he made through the Carnegie Corporation helped create over 2,500 libraries around the world. Of course, these libraries were just buildings. There was no guarantee they would be staffed by people who could help communities get the most out of their new libraries.
In 1919, the year of Andrew Carnegie's death, the Carnegie Corporation made its last library grant, which was kind of a shame, but it also hired Charles Williamson to create a study on library education, which was brilliant. That study helped lead to the accreditation process for American library schools, and it also led directly to the creation and proliferation of modern library education, most notably at the University of Chicago, which awarded the first Ph.D. in library science in 1930 and for many years set the standard for library education.
While Dr. Vann was working on her dissertation, she met Charles Williamson, and he wrote her two letters. In those letters, we learn that one hundred years ago, in 1912, Williamson had just been hired by the New York Public Library, which was working on a new grant from the Carnegie Corporation to set up its own library school. He helped provide assignments for the students and sometimes served as a lecturer. As he wrote to Dr. Vann, "I am afraid I always had a rather dim view of the nature and quality of the instruction in that school, including especially my own little part in it. Later I found that the School at the New York Public Library had the reputation of being one of the best in the country."
Williamson, in 1912, was beginning to form a vision of the curriculum and standards being used by library schools today. In 1918, the Carnegie Corporation hired him to study its Americanization project. In 1919, it hired him to study library education. In 1921, he turned in that report. In 1923, that report was published.
Dr. Vann, through her research and their correspondence, is a direct link to Williamson. Many of Dr. Vann's students are working in libraries today, and also educating library students. So that's one hundred years, and the modern history of a profession, summarized in one or two or three lifetimes.
The major biography about Williamson is called The Greatest of Greatness, and his papers are archived at Columbia University, where he was the library director and dean of the library school from 1926 until 1943. I'm not sure where they are now, but Columbia's archive does not include the two letters he wrote to Sarah Vann, dated May 23 and June 27, 1955, when she was a graduate student at Chicago. Long excerpts from those letters are included in The Williamson Reports: A Study, which Vann published in 1971.
A few years ago, I co-founded In the Library with the Lead Pipe. At the time we thought of it as a blog; the other members of its editorial board and I now think of it as a journal. I got to publish its first full-length article on October 8, 2008. That article ended up being a book review, though for several months leading up to our deadline, I had hoped instead to publish a study of the relationship between philanthropy and librarianship. A key element of that article was going to be my correspondence with Sarah Vann, which I saw as an homage to her correspondence with Charles Williamson.
I had been put in touch with a former student and colleague of Sarah Vann's, someone who visited her frequently at the care home where she lived and who had recently collaborated with her on a project. I emailed a few questions to my contact, who passed them to Dr. Vann, but then things fell apart. Sarah Vann was in her nineties by this time, she was recovering from an illness, she hadn't thought about this aspect of her research for decades, and she had given away her books so she didn't have them as references. Though she had forgotten a lot, my contact informed me, Dr. Vann remembered that what Williamson appreciated about her was that she was willing to say that she didn't know something if she didn't.
Writing to me seemed difficult for Dr. Vann, so I asked my contact to interview her on my behalf. She responded that it might be better for me to write her a letter or call her. I was told that she was in good spirits, was extremely lucid, and had a strong voice.
I couldn't make myself do it.
My grandmother had died six years earlier. We were very close. I called her every Sunday and flew to Alabama to visit her a few times each year. I wouldn't have wanted someone she didn't know to ask my grandmother a lot of questions about events she hadn't thought about in decades. My grandmother would have tried to help, and she would have been flattered by the attention, but it would have been frustrating for her.
Regardless, I made the wrong decision about Sarah Vann. I should have called her or written her a letter. Even if she didn't respond, I could have told her how much her work meant to me. I don't think her life was any worse for my not having contacted her directly, though maybe she would have enjoyed our interaction. Maybe, when my time comes, it might have been one of those moments that I would have remembered.
This past August, thirty of Dr. Vann's friends and former colleagues gathered at one of the University of Hawaii's libraries to celebrate her life. She had requested a cocktail party rather than a memorial service, so the tributes that evening were accompanied by champagne and martinis.

Sibling rivalries are common in a lot of families. Often there's at least one child who seemed to inherit the lion's share of the good genes. He or she is smarter, faster and better looking. A's come easy and they end up with better, higher-paying jobs. Their kids are well behaved and well adjusted, polite and compassionate. Don't you just hate them?
Most people can take consolation in the fact that no one outside their family really knows if they are failures compared to their more successful brothers or sisters. But imagine if you were a struggling actor and your brother or sister was an A-list Oscar winner. Everyone wants to see their movies and get their autographs. On the other hand, no one really knows your name. No one wants to cast you. You're just so-and-so's brother or sister.
Take Houston native Don Swayze for example. Don looks a lot like his older brother Patrick, who, of course, found huge success in Hollywood with films such as "Dirty Dancing," "Ghost" and "Road House." In fact, if you squint your eyes, you might mistake him for the star, who died of pancreatic cancer in 2009. It's close to impossible to look at him without thinking of Patrick, which probably doesn't help his chances of landing roles.
Meanwhile, Don has starred in "Beach Babes from Beyond," and currently is enjoying a multi-episode stint on FX's "The Bridge" as Tampa Tim.
Speaking of famous and less-famous sibling actors, Sunday brought the return of "Boardwalk Empire" on HBO. Steve Buscemi, who plays Atlantic City boss and booze-runner Nucky Thompson, has an actor brother named Michael. Most recently, Steve's brother has played God in seven episodes of "Nurse Jackie."
Let's not continue to overlook the often-overlooked less-famous brothers and sisters who have spent much of their careers in the shadows of their super-star siblings. Check out the photo gallery above and put some faces with the names you may not know.

At a Green Party conference in the European Parliament in Brussels, Engel said the EU was a frontrunner in terms of renewables, particularly wind technology, but warned this was no longer "a given thing", with the US or China threatening to overtake it.
He said Europe needed to focus on three priorities if it wanted to remain the leading developer of wind technology: first, training people for jobs that may not yet have been invented; second, agreeing a reduction target for greenhouse gas emissions of 30% by 2020; and third, implementing renewable energy targets. Engel urged the EU to "push itself out of its comfort zone" and strive for innovation.
There have been suggestions recently that the global growth in wind power could also see Vestas losing its position as market leader, with competitors such as Siemens Wind Power increasing market share. However, Engel refused to speculate on the future market share of his company. Speaking to Windpower Monthly, he said: "Our first milestone is 2015, when we want to see EUR15 billion in revenue, compared to EUR7 billion in 2009. What this will mean in terms of market share, we will see."
Meanwhile, the EC suggested at the launch of its 2020 economic strategy that it is ready to face the challenges highlighted by Engel, saying the global financial crisis had forced it to recognise that a radical change of policy is necessary.
"The crisis has exposed fundamental issues and unsustainable trends that we can not ignore any longer," said EU commission president Jose Manuel Barroso. "We need to build a new economic model based on knowledge, a low-carbon economy and high employment levels."
The 2020 strategy, designed to drive the EU economy, should also deliver a significant rise in the amount of money available for R&D of low-carbon technologies. Barroso said that to achieve its new economic model, the EU should increase its R&D spending from a figure of less than 2% of GDP today to 3%, an increase of around EUR120 billion, to EUR367 billion a year. The EC suggested that a significant chunk of this cash would be invested in "developing cleaner, low-carbon technologies that will help our environment, contribute to fighting climate change and create new business and employment opportunities".
Green attack
The European Wind Energy Association said the strategy contained grid and market commitments that would boost the growth of wind energy in Europe. It highlighted the commission's promises to promote renewable energy sources in the single market and to publish proposals to upgrade Europe's networks towards a European super-grid.
However, the plan met with derision from environmentalists. John Hontelez, secretary general of the European Environmental Bureau, said the strategy offered nothing new on climate change and energy efficiency, claiming the 20% greenhouse gas reduction target, "with its wide-open loopholes, is not going to trigger real innovation".
Tony Long, director of the European policy office of environmental lobby group WWF, said: "We cannot be saddled for the next ten years with a strategy which is out of date before the ink is even dry." Member of the European Parliament Claude Turmes said the EU needed to better define its R&D priorities if the EU had the ambition to develop the region as a technological leader.

Nestle is one of the most unethical company in the world. Wherever it goes, its main interest is to transform water into a commercial product out of the free good as it is commonly known. During last decades a lot of petitions signed by hundred of thousands people like this one , this one , this one , this one , this one and many others. However, due to the lobby made in highest levels of state decisions, it is unstoppable. It's time to stop buying products from this shameless company.

This script is an extremely simplified interface of the editor of level WorldCraft (Valve Hammer Editor in its last versions)
It will enable you to create basic maps starting from your browser Internet (Firefox being largely recommended).
It should be noted that as soon as the elements are create, they appear in the center of the map.
To create your 1st map
It is advised before beginning your chart to have a small idea of what to suit you to create.
To make the 1st walls:
While clicking on "Choose a texture" or the image below a menu appears allowing for choice of to you the texture of your future wall.
Once chosen, to click on "creating a wall", it appears then in the medium of the chart.
To move it on the chart as you do it with files between 2 repertories.
To choose its size, to use the icon in bottom on its line and you will be able the re-dimension
Put as many walls as wish it to you, in any event it is free, but attention not to be misused it, if not the game play could suffer from it (see low)
Pour les armes et les caisses c'est pareil, sauf que l'on ne peut pas les redimensionner.
Textures, sky, and ground...:
To click on "Parameter of the map" opens a menu making it possible to select:
- Grounds: hangar, sport, space (with the quake3)
- A texture for the walls which surround the map (useless for space)
- A texture for the ground
- A sky (only useful for the ground "sport")
All these textures and skies are already hard cored into counter-strike, therefore not need to download WAD or again sky.
Save, Load:
Save is used to safeguard your chart in a cookie (small file on your PC)
Load opens small finely which allows:
Load: To charge the map safeguarded on your PC (cookie)
Load map XXX: Charge map N X present on the site
Load random map: Randomly charge a map on the waiter.
Caution :
- The maximum size of a cookie on your PC cannot exceed 4Ko, which corresponds to approximately a 100aine of objects in your chart.
For the moment, it is not possible to safeguard more objects but if this function poses many problems, would make mine better to optimize it.
- This function by is not quite simply activated under IE!
Take Firefox Here
To compile :
Once your map finished, clicking on this button, your map will be worked and you will be able to download it.
If nothing occurs, it is that the waiter which manages compilation is down, therefore safeguards your chart and Re-try later.
The mini-chat box is to make pretty, therefore if it did not plait you, you will have to only click on the small Red Cross...
The Council to make a success of your map(not to be made) :
You can put cases dimensions with dimension to be able to jump and pass from the walls.
Here, I think a little of having said all, if you have remarks to make, thank you to say it in the "mini chat-box".
I point out that this interface is always in beta-test thus it may be that your map is not compiled or that there are bugs in the interface.

Grins and Snickers
I was in the six item express lane at the store quietly fuming.
Completely ignoring the sign, the woman ahead of me had slipped into the check-out line pushing a cart piled high with groceries. Imagine my delight when the cashier beckoned the woman to come forward looked into the cart and asked sweetly, "So which six items would you like to buy?"
Wouldn't it be great if that happened more often?
Because they had no reservations at a busy restaurant, my elderly neighbor and his wife were told there would be a 45 minute wait for a table.
"Young man, we're both 90 years old," the husband said. "We may not have 45 minutes."
They were seated immediately.
The reason Politicians try so hard to get re-elected is that they would "hate" to have to make a living under the laws they have passed.
All eyes were on the radiant bride as her father escorted her down the aisle. They reached the altar and the waiting groom. The bride kissed her father and placed something in his hand.
The guests in the front pews responded with ripples of laughter. Even the priest smiled broadly.
As her father gave her away in marriage, the bride gave him back his credit card.
Women and cats will do as they please, and men and dogs should relax and get used to the idea.
Three friends from the local congregation were asked, "When you're in your casket, and friends and congregation members are mourning over you, what would you like them to say?"
Artie said, "I would like them to say I was a wonderful husband, a fine spiritual leader, and a great family man."
Eugene commented, "I would like them to say I was a wonderful teacher and servant of God who made a huge difference in people's lives.."
Al said, "I'd like them to say, 'Look, he's moving!'"
Smith climbs to the top of Mt. Sinai to get close enough to talk to God.
Looking up, he asks the Lord. "God, what does a million years mean to you?"
The Lord replies, "A minute."
Smith asks, "And what does a million dollars mean to you?"
The Lord replies, "A penny."
Smith asks, "Can I have a penny?"
The Lord replies, "In a minute."
A man goes to a shrink and says, "Doctor, my wife is unfaithful to me. Every evening, she goes to Larry's bar and picks up men. In fact, she sleeps with anybody who asks her! I'm going crazy. What do you think I should do?"
"Relax," says the Doctor, "take a deep breath and calm down. Now, tell me, exactly where is Larry's bar?"
John was on his deathbed and gasped pitifully, "Give me one last request, dear," he said.
"Of course, John," his wife said softly.
"Six months after I die," John said, "I want you to marry Bob."
"But I thought you hated Bob," she said..
With his last breath John said, "I do!"
A man goes to see the Rabbi. '
"Rabbi, something terrible is happening and I have to talk to you about it."
The Rabbi asked, "What's wrong?"
The man replied, "My wife is going to poison me."
The Rabbi, very surprised by this, asks, "How can that be?"
The man then pleads, "I'm telling you, I'm certain she's going to poison me. What should I do?"
The Rabbi then offers, "Tell you what. Let me talk to her, I'll see what I can find out and I'll let you know."
A week later the Rabbi calls the man and says, "I spoke to your wife on the phone for three hours. You want my advice?
The man said, "Yes" and the Rabbi replied, "Take the poison."

Twin sisters accused of battery, child abuse
Palm Bay police arrested twin sisters following an incident with a neighbor.
Police responded to the home of Sandra and Sondra Karwel on Bianca Drive Sunday after receiving a report of a disturbance between neighbors.
Officers said the sisters continuously called officials to complain about the neighborhood activity and also accused the neighbor of criminal mischief on their property.
According to investigators, Sondra Karwel got into a verbal argument with the neighbor and took a swing at her. Both women then jumped the neighbor, knocking her to the ground and began kicking her in the face and body, according to a release.
Authorities said witnesses told them that when the neighbor's 10-year-old son tried to intervene Sandra Karwel grabbed him by the hair and punched him several times.
"She told me that 'DJ your family, nobody likes you. You are just just total scum. Everyone hates you," said Dajuan Hill.
Sandra Karwel is charged with battery, child abuse and resisting arrest. Sondra Karwel is charged with felony battery. She also has a prior conviction for the same crime, according to police.

Why a person who has had rotten knees since birth would look at a map and decide that they would buy a ticket to Nepal and go trekking is beyond me, but that's what I did for some reason. It didn't really occur to me until a few days into my first trek that it was an odd decision. As I slowly descended down some massive granite steps on the side of a very steep hillside, I paused for a moment to analyze the situation. I was bracing myself with my two bamboo hiking sticks, deciding whether it felt like someone was hammering a four inch nail into my knees every time I bent them or whether it was more like my cartilage had been replaced with barbed wire, and I started to question how the hell I ended up there.
I made my mom, our guide, and our porter walk ahead in hopes that if nobody saw my struggle, then maybe it wouldn't feel as difficult. I felt weak and pissed off at myself. Who the hell did I think I was? I should know better than this. I know my knees and I should therefore know my limits, shouldn't I??
My knees have always been fickle and I know that, yet there I was, halfway down a massive hill somewhere between two small mountain towns and the only option was to keep going down. I felt so stupid for thinking that I could do a six day trek. Tears were starting to well up in my eyes, which made me even more frustrated with myself. We all should know what we can and can't handle. But although I may know my limits, I seem to like to push them, I guess because if I don't then I'll never know what I'm really capable of, which I suppose is how I ended up on the side of a steep hill in Nepal.
Obviously I survived that trek and believe it or not, I sent myself on a second one!
The first trek I went on was the Naya Pul and Ghorapani loop in the Annapurna region. Unfortunately, it's getting close to the monsoon season so the views were pretty terrible, but we did get to see a few of the magnificent mountains one evening. I did the trek with my Mom, our guide Tika, and our 15 year old porter, who we nicknamed Ironman because he could carry our massive backpack with no problem at all.
My second trek was in the Langtang Region bordering Tibet, which was absolutely stunning. The monsoon starts later there, so the views weren't obstructed with clouds and haze. The hike was easier than the previous trek, but because I'd already spent six days torturing my knees the week before, I had a pretty hard time going downhill for two days out of the seven day trek. I also decided that I would buck up and carry my own bag, which my doctor would probably smack me upside the head for doing. Luckily once my knees started to fail me Tika (my wonderful guide) carried my backpack for me.
We had planned for one rest day in the middle of our trek where we would visit the local temple and yak cheese factory, but the Type A side of my personality kicked in again and I found myself climbing up to 4,700 meters for a better view of the mountains and glaciers. I was happy to find that I had no problems acclimating to the altitude, but my knees complained the whole way down.
When we returned to the teahouse after our little hike, we decided to go in search of some tumba (pronounced toomba). Tumba is made by boiling millet, adding a goats hoof, and storing the mixture in a plastic bag under your house for at least fifteen days, the good stuff is stored for about three months. Once you are ready to drink it, you scoop out the millet, scrape of the mold, and put it in a massive cup. To drink it, you pour hot water over the millet and sip up the alcoholic liquid. It's fantastic for cold weather.
We had found some tumba the day before, so we knew we could find it again. It's pretty difficult stuff to get this time of year because it is too warm outside to make it. We didn't have anything else to do that day since the temple and yak cheese factory turned out to be closed, so we decided to take the rest of the day off and get drunk. Tika and I went to a tiny little teashop and each ordered our own tumba. The shop owner and her two friends were in the shop gossiping and eating dry flour and salt in between sips of salty Tibetan yak butter tea. After a few hours, it went from just being Tika and I drinking, to at least fifteen other guides, porters, and foreigners drinking tumba and roxy, eating dried then fried yak meat with timor (the most delicious peppercorn on earth), and singing all the songs we could think of. I couldn't think of a better way to spend an afternoon.
The trekking was fantastic, despite the pain. Now I know that I am in fact capable of walking long distances,as long as I"m going up not down though, which makes all of the pain I experienced worth it. If any of you are planning on coming to Nepal to go trekking I have a few recommendations and guide book corrections.
The guide books are wrong about prices for almost everything. A good wage for a guide is around 15USD a day and for a porter it's about 12USD per day. You can do treks on your own, but you'll learn a lot more about culture and see a lot more wildlife if you hire a guide. I expected to do most of the trekking without a guide, but quickly came to realize that almost everyone here hires a guide and does so through a tour company. If you hire a porter, make sure that the company has a limit for how many bags one porter carries. More than two massive backpacks or duffel bags for someone around my size is cruel, so make sure to ask the tour company what their policy is before you book a tour with them. And lastly, if you need a good guide, my guide and new friend Tika is absolutely wonderful. He comes with my highest recommendations. He's by far one of the most fantastic people I've met in the past six months and I feel like he is part of my family now. So please, please, please ask me for his information if you are planning on coming to Nepal.
I'm back in Kathmandu, which is where I'll be for the next week. I'm booking a ticket today to go to South Korea on the 8th to see my friends Bobby and Will who are teaching English there. Words can't even describe the high I get from being able to make a decision to jet over to another country a week before I want to leave. I feel so free! There will be at least one more post coming this week, so keep checking the blog. I'd also like to give a big thanks to my dad for publishing and editing my last blog post for me since the internet at my hotel is too slow.

Arenado highlights talented young infielders
Gold Glove winner aims to emulate play of role model, fellow third baseman Beltre
SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. -- Watch Colorado's Nolan Arenado closely at third base and you just might see some Adrian Beltre in the stylish, consistent excellence that brought him a 2013 Rawlings Gold Glove Award -- the first ever for a National League rookie at the demanding position.
If there's some Adrian in Nolan's game, there is a good reason for that. Arenado grew up in Southern California admiring Beltre during his early years as the Dodgers' charismatic third baseman -- and Arenado has continued to be amazed by the man's artistic play for Seattle, Boston and now Texas.
"I'm a huge fan of Adrian Beltre," Arenado said. "I've always looked up to him, being a third baseman. I love the way he plays the game, everything about him."
According to the calculations of Baseball Info Solutions, Arenado's 30 runs saved last year were surpassed only by Baltimore's Manny Machado, with 35, at third base. The Orioles sensation had the advantage of playing 156 games, 26 more than Arenado.
After spending most of April at Triple-A Colorado Springs, Arenado had a .973 fielding percentage, matching Machado, and finished second in the NL in putouts and assists at the position. Boston's Frank Malzone in 1957 is the lone American League rookie third baseman to win a Gold Glove Award.
Arenado, who turns 23 on April 16, and Machado are part of a remarkable crop of young infielders performing almost routine magic with their elastic bodies, flashing leather and strong, accurate arms.
An era of defensive brilliance is dawning across the landscape, calling to mind the 1980s mastery of Ozzie Smith, Alan Trammell, Davey Concepcion, Mike Schmidt, Buddy Bell, Ryne Sandberg, Frank White, Lou Whitaker, Keith Hernandez and Don Mattingly.
Machado, a year younger than Arenado, is the reigning AL Gold Glove Award winner at third. Atlanta shortstop Andrelton Simmons -- the game's premier defender by most analytics evaluations last season -- is 24 and an NL Gold Glove Award winner. Boston's Xander Bogaerts is gifted enough to thrill New England fans at third or shortstop.
The 2013 Gold Glove Award choices at first base were Arizona's Paul Goldschmidt, 26, and Kansas City's Eric Hosmer, 24.
Second baseman DJ LeMahieu, 25, claimed the Rockies' Wilson Defensive Player of the Year Award based in part on sabermetrics while playing alongside Gold Glovers Arenado and left fielder Carlos Gonzalez.
Along with these showstoppers, the group of brilliant, 25-and-under infielders includes first basemen Anthony Rizzo and Freddie Freeman, shortstops Elvis Andrus, Jose Iglesias Jean Segura and Didi Gregorius and third basemen Matt Dominguez and Brett Lawrie.
News that he'd become the first NL rookie third baseman to claim a Gold Glove Award hit Arenado with the force of a line drive off the bat of Hanley Ramirez.
"It's a great honor," Arenado said. "It kind of blew me away. It's so special. To be blessed like this so soon in my career is unbelievable."
Born in Newport Beach, Calif., raised in nearby Lake Forest and drafted out of El Toro High School in 2009, Arenado was introduced to the game by his father, Fernando, who gave his son another role model.
"My dad is from Cuba," Arenado said. "Roberto Clemente was one of his favorite players. My dad loved how he always played hard and played for his country. You hear so many great things about him, off the field and on the field, you want to be like Roberto Clemente. He set a very high standard."
Arenado has a living, breathing model for conduct next to him in Colorado's infield. Troy Tulowitzki, a two-time Gold Glove Award winner at 29, was limited to 121 games by a broken rib last year but led NL shortstops in fielding percentage at .986.
"I know he's happy for me," Arenado said of Tulowitzki. "He's helped me a lot along the way. He's done so much for me. We try to communicate as much as we can. ... I'll try to take some of those balls [in the hole] to help him out."
With 2006 AL Most Valuable Player Award winner Justin Morneau signed to replace icon Todd Helton at first, and LeMahieu at second, Rockies manager Walt Weiss will go to work this season with a dream infield for ground-ball pitchers.
The quartet saved 51 combined runs last year -- five by Morneau with the Twins and Pirates, 10 by LeMahieu, six by Tulowitzki and 30 by Arenado.
The Orioles, with 41 runs saved, had the best defensive infield in 2013. The Dodgers led the NL with 38 runs saved by their infield.
The great Beltre, who takes his place historically at third with the likes of Brooks Robinson and Schmidt, had a down year for him, inhibited, whether he'd admit it or not, by knee issues. Noting that Beltre played 146 games while physically impaired only served to elevate his place in Arenado's view.
"I talked to him one time at third base," Arenado said. "I don't think I was able to tell him how much he meant to me."
Beltre, a quiet man around the media who comes alive behind closed doors in the clubhouse, no doubt would be delighted to hear the positive impact he has had on one of the game's blossoming stars.
While Arenado has swiftly moved into the elite class of defenders, the rock-solid Rockies athlete admitted he has ground to cover offensively.
"I'm working on it," said Arenado, who needed a productive second half to lift his slash line to .267/.301/.405. "One thing I can't do is hit like Adrian Beltre. I don't think I'll be going down on one knee with my swing."
That's one part of Beltre's exquisite game that is virtually impossible to imitate or replicate.

Department of Anthropology
Fulbright Scholar
Bolivia, 2009-2010
Complex social issues such as HIV transmission, women's health, and youth development, require insightful and ongoing research and evaluation for effective program development. In April, 2009, Jean Scandlyn was awarded a Fulbright Teaching Fellowship to collaborate in answering the research and evaluation needs of non-governmental organizations (NGOs) in Bolivia.
Scandlyn spoke with representatives from a variety of non-governmental organizations (NGOs) that work to improve the health and development of adolescents and young adults. In the conversations, executive directors expressed a need for education and training in qualitative research methods that could be applied to a variety of projects.
From these conversations, Scandlyn, in collaboration with PROCOSI, an association of health-related NGOs, developed a proposal to teach a series of workshops on qualitative research design and data analysis using computer-based qualitative analysis software. Given the often limited budgets of NGOs and the need to work in teams across multiple sites, the workshops provided instruction and practice in using software programs that are widely available at low or no cost on the internet. These programs were suitably designed for use in individual and team-based projects.
The curriculum combined lectures and demonstrations with hands-on application of concepts and methods. Workshop participants gained valuable experience in designing and completing projects for their agencies. Competence and skill was built among Bolivian NGO personnel, enabling them to train others. Workshops were planned to be held once each year over three years, with Scandlyn providing supervision and support for participants via the internet between her annual visits to Bolivia. In addition to the workshops for NGO personnel, Scandlyn worked with local universities to develop courses in qualitative research.
"Professionally, being a Fulbright scholar enabled me to work with Bolivians to build capacity in qualitative research and to develop relationships both for future research on the transition to adulthood. I hope to bring more Bolivian scholars to the U.S."

Console and Mobile History pages
Pathogen, the console and mobile history pages need to be updated.Enderslayer197 (talk) 12:13, January 16, 2016 (UTC)Enderslayer197
- Hi there Enderslayer. As much as I'd like to fully update those pages, I'm still gathering information to actually add to the pages at the current time. I'd rather not rip the entire page's content from Gamepedia as that doesn't sit well with me. You're more than welcome to start adding info yourself, thanks. iPathos | Talk Page | Mon 18 January 2016, 09:34
- Pathogen, just updated the console and mobile history pages. If you want you can look through and see if I missed anything and add it in.Enderslayer197 (talk) 16:29, January 18, 2016 (UTC)Enderslayer197

Malfunctioning Snow Globe
Hey. I'm on IOS and I have a snow globe but it is not letting me use it. Do you have any suggestions for why it is not working--Knutez (talk) 09:08, January 18, 2016 (UTC)Knutez
- Hi there Knutez, I'm unsure personally for a number of reasons; I do not own an Apple device of any kind (so I cannot test this myself), to the best of my knowledge the Snow Globe should be usable at any time, though I would imagine it wouldn't work if there's any kind of event currently in progress. Is your world in Hard mode? No bosses summoned? Have you tried clicking it and also using it from your hotbar? I'd be interested to hear your results, thanks. iPathos | Talk Page | Mon 18 January 2016, 09:34
- I do have a hard mode world but there are not any events going on that I know of. I have tried clicking on it the hotbar but all it would do is my character would hold it up and put it away. Come to think of it, NPC's aren't spawning in and I can't use pirate maps either--Knutez (talk) 19:02, January 18, 2016 (UTC)Knutez
- That is very odd. I do wish I had a suitable device to do some testing myself. :/ In this case, I would direct you here, as then the developers themselves can get a good look at the full extent of the problem and hopefully come up with a viable solution. iPathos | Talk Page | Mon 18 January 2016, 19:45

Christmas Tree Sword
Hey Pathos, What doesnt make sense to me on the Christmas Tree Sword page is how in the info box for the sword it says it has a base damage of 86. But in the picture of it with a legendary prefix it only does 84 and it says it has +15% damage. Either the information in the infobox is incorrect or there is something wrong with the picture. I dont know what the actual damage is so if you could fix this it would be great. --ItzUnstopable (talk) 17:11, February 23, 2016 (UTC)ItzUnstopable
- Hi there ItzUnstopable, the problem here is that Mobile/Console and PC have different damage values on the sword. PC has it currently at 86, while Mobile/Console is at 73. I will add this to the page. Also in future, please don't leave so many leading spaces when typing out messages as it formats your message as code. Hope this helped. :) iPathos | Talk Page | Tue 23 February 2016, 20:08
- Hey Pathos, Thanks for the info on the Christmas Tree Sword, that makes sense. Also I didn't know that spaces made it count as code, thanks!ItzUnstopable (talk) 20:52, February 23, 2016 (UTC)ItzUnstopable

Developer Sets
Hey Pathos, So I have been wondering about the developer sets that are dropped by treasure bags in expert mode. Do these sets only drop from hardmode boss treasure bags? Or can they drop from any treasure bag dropped by any boss as long as the world is in expert mode? Thanks! --ItzUnstopable (talk) 18:14, March 4, 2016 (UTC)ItzUnstopable

- No worries, you're making an effort to improve and that's the important part. :) Regarding inviting someone to your world, usually you will have to invite them via Steam, which I believe requires you and the person in question to be friends. After that, you simply browse to their name in your friends list and right click, then invite to game. iPathos | Talk Page | Wed 30 March 2016, 22:15

Regarding blocks
Hey iPathos, just wondering, does a founder of a wiki have more authority than an admin? Sincerely Harveyconwycook (talk) 06:06, April 19, 2016 (UTC) harveyconwycook
- Hi there Harveyconwycook. Effectively a founder has the ability to grant or remove any rank or permissions for any other user on the wiki (I assume this excludes wikia staff), they're a little above bureaucrat level. They're commonly seen as "ranked above admins" by most users, excluding if they've gone inactive. iPathos | Talk Page | Tue 19 April 2016, 08:21
Wall of Flesh edit by: Msmrme
Hi The Pathogeen. When I edited the WoF page, I ment to say that the wording (to me) suggests that it can only be able to be summoned with the hotbar, but it can also be by throwing the Giude Voodoo Doll into the lava. Sorry...
Msmrme (talk) 01:45, May 10, 2016 (UTC)
Sorry if I'm being annoying, but hey, that's just me :l Anyways, I just wanted to say; 1. Thank you for adding the Blood Water and Daybreak to the Thrown Weapons page 2. Sorry if I act stupid, especially about anything added in 1.3. I'm still learning stuff about Terraria. 3. Thank you for the image of the Drakanian on its own! Much appreciated. 4. I may unintentionally ask many dumb questions, so mind me if they are incredibly stupid.
I will leave you alone now. Goodbye! Dat Bisharp (talk) 05:42, May 12, 2016 (UTC)Dat Bisharp
Hi, I have been editing the Wall of Flesh page and you keep undoing it. I would just like to say that on the part that I have been editing it implies that puting the GVD in the players hotbar is the only way to summon it in mobile. But that is not true, could you add that that isnt the only way to summon the WoF on mobile. Thanks! Msmrme (talk) 03:57, May 15, 2016 (UTC)
- Hi there Msmrme, you seem to be misunderstanding the nature of my edit. Your first edit implied a second manner of summoning the Wall of Flesh while the sentence directly afterward explicitly stated that dropping the Voodoo Doll in lava would not destroy it or summon the Wall of Flesh. Your second edit corrected this and thus I have not reverted it. You also state that I "keep undoing it", while I have only reverted one of your edits and it was the grammatically incorrect one. I do not play the Mobile version of Terraria as I do not currently have a device capable of running the game, therefore I am not 100% up-to-date with the comings and goings of certain specific aspects. iPathos | Talk Page | Sun 15 May 2016, 04:23
- Sorry about the second part, I thought I had deleated the first
- undone revision e-mail, I proboly just looked at it twice. Sorry if
- I caused any trouble. Msmrme (talk) 02:11, May 23, 2016 (UTC)
Hey Path,
now that the update is out, Just let me know if there's a specific task you'd like me to take on, or something that will help out in a larger way and then we can work towards getting the wiki updated as painlessly as possible :p Leave me a message here or on Steam.

Skeletron Prime
Hello there Path.
I have some questions that id love to know. First, is shadowflame weapons (Knife, Doll and Bow) effective, and do they do decent damage? And if the Excalibur is a decent weapon, what modifier should I get it to?
Second, about defense. I have 47 defense, for the following: Warding Moon Stone, Ankh Shield, Celestial Cuffs, Frozen Wings and Angry Moon Shell. Shuld I attempt to get them all to Warding?
- Please leave a message on my chatboard. Thanks.
Fedora Man 03 (talk) 14:38, May 23, 2016 (UTC) Fedora Man 03
(aka Erwin Rommel)
- Hi there Erwin, my answers are as follows:
- Shadowflame weapons can be quite effective all throughout the game in non-Expert mode, as the debuff deals a constant 5 damage/sec to any target affected by it as well as halting life regen. In addition the Shadowflame Hex Doll does decent damage in a wide AoE (also Shadowflame is inflicted for 4-8sec). The Shadowflame Bow deals decent damage as well, fires quickly and can be autofired, pierces up to 3 enemies and also have a very shallow arc compared to many other bows (also Shadowflame is inflicted for 2-5sec). The Shadowflame Knife is an interesting one, as it can automatically ricochet off of up to two additional enemies after hitting the first (also Shadowflame is inflicted for 1-3sec).
- Excalibur is definitely decent, and the best prefix for it would be Legendary.
- I like to use warding accessories overall, but for Expert Mode I would switch them out for menacing from time to time. 50-60 defense is probably a good goal.
- Hope these answer your questions. :) iPathos | Talk Page | Mon 23 May 2016, 23:50
Quick category question
Hi Path,
I just wanted to ask your advice on what to do for this page I created with the update on the bug fix. Currently there is no category page for 126.96.36.199 as there wouldn't be any items linked to it. So, I was wondering if we make a page for that, or maybe there is some other simple thing I am missing to get the update link to not be red? Thanks for the help.
Squazzil Talk | Fri 10 June 2016, 18:32 18:32, June 10, 2016 (UTC)
- Hey Squazz, the the page just needs a redirect to the relevant section of Version History, in this case #REDIRECT [[Version_History#18.104.22.168]].

It seems that the user in question is very against hacking and inventory editing as a whole, therefore I would simply not interact with them in the best interests of you both. If any further comments are made please do let myself or Squazzil know. Thanks. iPathos | Talk Page | Thu 22 September 2016, 08:02
Armor Polish
Dear path,
I, as you can probably tell by the title, am trying to craft the Ankh Charm. The one thing that I am struggling with is trying to get the Armor Polish. I am specifically trying to get it from the Blue Armored Bones. Any traps, weapons, etc. that can help?
P.S. I am on Mobile.
Thanks. PlasHax (talk) 00:54, July 16, 2016 (UTC)
- hi there PlasHax, this is probably a late reply but I would recommend a 1-2px high lava pit that is contained in a 1-deep-by-10-or-more-wide pit. Usually one or two buckets of lava will serve this purpose nicely. If possible I would also place a line of blocks four or five blocks above the lava pit and extending two or three blocks past the end section of the pit, so that if they jump they will not be in the air as long and it will also prevent any other projectile-based enemies from firing at you if you are directly above the pit. Good luck and feel free to ask if you have any further questions. iPathos | Talk Page | Thu 22 September 2016, 08:06
Fishron Wings
Hi The Pathogen,
I was wondering if you knew a way to get Fishron Wings on mobile. I know it seems pretty stupid, but my friends and I really want it from Fishron and we really struggle with it. If you don't know an easy way to get them then that's fine. I'll just keep trying to kill him!

Blocking Doors
Hey - is it possible to automate the sand falling in front of doors thing? This is when sand falls in front of a door and blocks it. I was thinking that since Antlions produce sand, they might be useful... they could also be used for an automated sand farm, right?
MistrBlaze (talk) 05:43, September 21, 2016 (UTC)MistrBlaze
- Hi there Mistrblaze, it's been a while since I've been ingame but from memory the only way to automate the blocks falling is to have them positioned above the door and on top of a block with a toggle wired up to it, then to have a switch immediately before the door that can only be set off by monsters (Yellow Pressure Plate) and ensure that your NPCs will not accidentally step on it. That way if the enemies stand on the plate, the block(s) will fall and block the door.
- As for using Antlions for a sand farm, it is entirely possible albeit slow. It would be much faster to create a new world and grab sand from there. If you have any further questions please do feel free to ask. iPathos | Talk Page | Thu 22 September 2016, 08:09

- Hi Tomi,
- Is there something I can help you with? I'm not really sure what you're asking about your talkpage, so if you could clarify either under this message or on my talkpage, that would be great. Perhaps you mean your profile page? The talkpages are mostly for other people to write to you on, and shouldn't contain much more than some instructions.

Portable Infoboxes
Hiya! I'm Ursuul, & I'm representing FANDOM's Vanguard team. We're users who volunteer to help communities adapt to new technologies and features, like content portability, & more specifically, the Portable Infobox tool. I notice that FANDOM already contacted this Wiki about Portable Infoboxes in the past, & you brought up some excellent points about functionality. Since you are a skilled code administrator, I will be brief; the Portable Infobox markup has developed a great deal since that time, & with it I was able to create four drafts of your most-used Infoboxes (including Infobox:Item & Infobox:Monster) wherein all functionality should be preserved in the new portable format. A photographic example is below:
With your approval, I would be happy to draw up four interactive examples which you can prod for yourself, & compare side-by-side the new versions with the old. If you are satisfied with them, then can we work together to convert the rest of the Infoboxes? We'd really like to get working on your community, but we would appreciate your go-ahead.
I know you have not been active here in quite a while, but as you have the most experience with the construction of the Infoboxes on this Wiki, I would prefer if you could look them over first, but of course I will be happy to ask another Administrator if you are unavailable. If you have any questions, or if this is the wrong venue for this kind of discussion, please let me know. Thanks!
Hey-O, it has been several days without a response, so I have brought the conversation to Squazzil, if you would like to be involved. I have also taken the liberty to set up some before-&-after examples of the Infoboxes, in case you are interested.
I know I said this in a comment, so please don't ban me, I just wanted to make sure you got it, but, how did u even get~2567 [1]? thats just insane if u ask me. but cool 2. do u think i could hav ~10 [2]? im on Ps4, my name is D4_DerpSt4r_123 with the 4's and underscores. So, if u do console, plz help me. If not the ~10 [3], then could u at least help my bro and i with the mech. bosses?
Sorry but here's my Mathlete101 (talk) 17:19, December 18, 2017 (UTC)

Not what I meant. What I meant was that Dzogchen samayas are connected with reality. The 22 Vajrayāna samayas of the new tantra schools or the 29 samayas of the old tantra tradition are connnected with view and conduct.theanarchist wrote:Other vajrayana samaya connections are just as unbreakable.Malcolm wrote:theanarchist wrote: Then of course there is the four Dzogchen "samayas", which are unbreakable since they are not conditioned.
No divine spark is implanted, Gurus are not creator gods.Because even if it's nowhere as explicit as in dzogchen, in a highest yogatantra initiation what makes the initiation valid is the conferrence of a spark of the absolute nature of the deity.
What happens during an anuttarayoga initiation is an arrangement of dependent origination. Each initiation has its own samayas connected with the practices which it permits one to do. Please Kongtrul's Buddhist Ethics for a full account.
Of course they are.The vows you take during an initiation are vows, they are not the actual samaya.
The vows are what maintain that connection. When you break those, you break the connection.The actual samaya is the connection you make with the teacher by receiving initiation, the vows are a tool that enables the disciple to progress on that path in a meaningful way.
It's harmful because you have made a promise, and that is the connection; this is why "dam tshig", "solemn word" is how Tibetans translate the term samaya. There is no mystical basis for samaya. It is premised strictly on accepting a set of promises.It is not harmful because you made some promise, it's harmful because it not following those rules is in itself harmful once you have made this type of connection.

As created Nov. 1926 and amended April 1981
] The qualified electors of the state, of any congressional, judicial or legislative district or of any county may petition for the recall of any incumbent elective officer after the first year of the term for which the incumbent was elected, by filing a petition with the filing officer with whom the nomination petition to the office in the primary is filed, demanding the recall of the incumbent.
(1) The recall petition shall be signed by electors equalling at least twenty-five percent of the vote cast for the office of governor at the last preceding election, in the state, county or district which the incumbent represents.
(2) The filing officer with whom the recall petition is filed shall call a recall election for the Tuesday of the 6th week after the date of filing the petition or, if that Tuesday is a legal holiday, on the first day after that Tuesday which is not a legal holiday.
(3) The incumbent shall continue to perform the duties of the office until the recall election results are officially declared.
(4) Unless the incumbent declines within 10 days after the filing of the petition, the incumbent shall without filing be deemed to have filed for the recall election. Other candidates may file for the office in the manner provided by law for special elections. For the purpose of conducting elections under this section:
(a) When more than 2 persons compete for a nonpartisan office, a recall primary shall be held. The 2 persons receiving the highest number of votes in the recall primary shall be the 2 candidates in the recall election, except that if any candidate receives a majority of the total number of votes cast in the recall primary, that candidate shall assume the office for the remainder of the term and a recall election shall not be held.
(b) For any partisan office, a recall primary shall be held for each political party which is by law entitled to a separate ballot and from which more than one candidate competes for the party's nomination in the recall election. The person receiving the highest number of votes in the recall primary for each political party shall be that party's candidate in the recall election. Independent candidates and candidates representing political parties not entitled by law to a separate ballot shall be shown on the ballot for the recall election only.
(c) When a recall primary is required, the date specified under sub. (2) shall be the date of the recall primary and the recall election shall be held on the Tuesday of the 4th week after the recall primary or, if that Tuesday is a legal holiday, on the first day after that Tuesday which is not a legal holiday.
(5) The person who receives the highest number of votes in the recall election shall be elected for the remainder of the term.
(6) After one such petition and recall election, no further recall petition shall be filed against the same officer during the term for which he was elected.
(7) This section shall be self-executing and mandatory. Laws may be enacted to facilitate its operation but no law shall be enacted to hamper, restrict or impair the right of recall. [
1923 J.R. 73, 1925 J.R. 16, 1925 c. 270, vote Nov. 1926; 1979 J.R. 41, 1981 J.R. 6, vote April 1981

This section applies to members of Congress. 68 Atty. Gen. 140.
Marriage. Section 13.
As created Nov. 2006
] Only a marriage between one man and one woman shall be valid or recognized as a marriage in this state. A legal status identical or substantially similar to that of marriage for unmarried individuals shall not be valid or recognized in this state. [
2003 J.R. 29, 2005 J.R. 30, vote Nov. 2006
The two propositions contained in the amendment creating this section plainly relate to the subject of marriage. The general purpose of the marriage amendment is to preserve the legal status of marriage as between only one man and one woman. Both propositions in the marriage amendment relate to and are connected with this purpose. Therefore, the marriage amendment does not violate the separate amendment rule of Article XII, Section 1. McConkey v. Van Hollen, 2010 WI 57, ___ Wis. 2d ___, ___ N.W.2d ___,
Same-Sex Divorce and Wisconsin Courts: Imperfect Harmony? Thorson. 92 MLR 617.

The authors' findings provide public accounting firms with critical factors that can enhance gender equality. Specifically, the findings indicate that (1) firms that offer more support from organizational leaders, (2) firms that provide higher levels of support for alternative work arrangement initiatives, and (3) firms that provide stronger ethical climates are each negatively associated with perceived gender discrimination, suggesting that organizational climate factors have a strong impact on female auditors' perceptions of gender equality. The findings suggest that female accounting professionals must reach high-status positions within the organizational structure to substantively influence perceptions of gender equality. Public accounting firms should encourage formal and informal mentoring relationships targeting female auditors.
Dalton, D. W., J. R. Cohen, N. L. Harp, and J. J. McMillan. 2014. Antecedents and Consequences of Perceived Gender Discrimination in the Audit Profession. Auditing: A Journal of Practice & Theory 33 (3): 1-32.
This study is important for audit firms because the authors imply that auditors' cross-cultural differences do not only depend on which culture they come from, but also, on the national context of the countries in which the auditors reside (e.g., legal environment, auditing standards, tax issues) and other environmental factors (e.g., firm culture). By recognizing the effect of the social environment and adopting a dynamic constructionist approach in future auditing research, cross-cultural variation of auditors can be better understood, and audit firms will be better informed when designing intervention techniques to manage these differences affecting audit quality.

The findings imply that female auditors may have a constraining effect on earnings management and thus provide higher audit quality. In general, our findings indicate that the behavioral differences between women and men may have important implications for the quality of auditing and financial reporting.

In case you haven't seen them yet – there's an early Christmas battle going on between M&S and John Lewis for who can produce the best festive advert. I say 'battle' but it's been won hands down by John Lewis for this wonderful, charming story. In case you haven't seen the M&S one, have a look, if you dare, here. It's basically, everything that was quite clever and well executed in the collective 'Perfect Day' remake for Children in Need, but made bloody horrible by using the X Factor contestants. Honestly, it's just unpleasantly ""sixth-form-project".
One key element here, in tapping into the Christmas market, is getting the tone, sentiment, and festive spirit *just right*. What underpins all of this is the soundtrack – get that wrong, and you're on the back foot from the off.
John Lewis have used a wonderful, understated and elegant remake of the Smiths' classic 'Please Please Please Let Me Get What I Want', evoking an emotional feeling in those watching it, and – if initial reaction if to be considered – making is a success and something people are sharing across social media.
The M&S advert however, has a clumsy, hard on the ears and downright unlistenable cocktail of different vocals, vocal styles, and most importantly vocal abilities. Say what you like about Frankie being apparently quite rock 'n' roll and meaning well, but let's be honest, that guy CANNOT sing. He just doesn't suit 'When You Wish Upon A Star'.
The soundtrack is the key to associating emotion and sentiment in the brain – if you have that fixed in, the advert is memorable for the right reasons and something people want to share and comment on. Watch the 'Where The Wild Things Are' trailer if you don't believe me – it's a wonderful example.
John Lewis hit the nail on the head, but M&S has sadly missed this entirely.
*UPDATE* we told you it was all about the music – someone's done a minor mash-up using the theme from the Shining instead. changes it somewhat….

Center for the Performing Arts at Penn State announces 2013-14 season
UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa.

The season opens Sept. 12 with Momix performing "Botanica," a 90-minute dance-theater work including more than 20 pieces that follow the cycle of seasons. Compagnie Käfig makes its Penn State debut Feb. 4 performing two works, "Correria" and "Agwa," which blend hip-hop and Brazilian influences. Moscow Festival Ballet performs "Swan Lake" March 20.
"We are thrilled to bring dance from all over the globe, representing many dance genres, to our stage," said Amy Dupain Vashaw, audience and program development director of the Center for the Performing Arts.
The Classical Music Project features seven concerts plus free related activities. From the final parts (St. Lawrence String Quartet Oct. 9 and Brentano String Quartet Feb. 21) of a three-season presentation of the complete Beethoven string quartets and a dramatic rendering of five of Johann Sebastian Bach's Brandenburg Concertos ("Apollo's Fire," The Cleveland Baroque Orchestra, Nov. 7) to the American debut tour of a heralded Austrian ensemble (Vienna Concert-Verein Orchestra with German pianist Sebastian Knauer Feb. 6) and the sublime singing of a male vocal ensemble (Cantus April 1), the project brings a diverse roster of artists to central Pennsylvania audiences.
"I am very excited by our plans for the Classical Music Project in 2013 and 2014," said George Trudeau, director of the Center for the Performing Arts. "The project will include a rich array of presentations that will include an interdisciplinary lecture series, classical coffeehouse programs with artists, master classes, lecture-demonstrations and an array of interactions with Penn State students. We're very pleased to be expanding our partnership with Misciagna Family Center for Performing Arts at Penn State Altoona to bring the American Brass Quintet and Cantus to our sister campus next season. The Classical Music Project website (www.cmp.psu.edu) will be continually updated with information on project events as they are confirmed."
Three touring Broadway musicals make their Center for the Performing Arts premieres. Disney's Beauty and Beast is on stage for two performances Feb. 25 and 26, the Tony Award-winning best musical Memphis arrives March 27 and Bring it On: The Musical comes April 17. A new adaptation of West Side Story, based on the recent Tony-winning Broadway revival, launches the musical theater offerings Nov. 19, and Rock of Ages returns Jan. 22.
Sutton Foster, one of Broadway's brightest young stars, makes her Penn State debut in a Feb. 15 concert with her trio. Foster, who won Tonys for outstanding actress in the musicals Anything Goes and Thoroughly Modern Millie, has performed in 10 Broadway shows and stars in the ABC Family series Bunheads.
An Acoustic Evening with Mary Chapin Carpenter and Shawn Colvin, on stage Oct. 19, features the friends performing material spanning their vast catalogues as well as some of their favorite songs by others.
Cirkopolis, the newest creation from Montreal's Cirque Éloize, dives into a vibrant imaginary world and pushes the boundaries of visual and audio innovation Sept. 27. Dance, circus, music and theater meet in a scenic universe. The 12 performers shift between dream and reality in an uninterrupted stream of acrobatics, music and images.
Lovers of big band swing, jazz and pop are in for a pair of treats. Trumpeter Doc Severinsen, leader of The Tonight Show Band for a quarter century, brings his own orchestra Oct. 22. The Count Basie Orchestra, directed by Bill Hughes, returns April 3 in a concert featuring the Grammy Award-winning vocal group New York Voices.
The Center for the Performing Arts presents family entertainment, too. Yamato, a group of mixed-gender Japanese drummers, combine the energy of a rock 'n' roll concert with samurai-serious percussion playing in a Nov. 12 concert. "Dinosaur Train Live!," a stage production based on a Jim Henson Company-produced PBS Kids program, embraces the fascination preschoolers have with both trains and dinosaurs. "ERTH's Dinosaur Zoo," a performance featuring a cast of large-scale dinosaur puppets brought to "life" by sophisticated design, electronics and theatrical presentation, revives prehistoric times April 6.
