Transatlantic Legacy: Full Circle, Formal Talk by Artist Tony Ramos
October 7th, 2015
The work of Tony Ramos as a pioneering performance and media artist is framed by his sojourns from Rhode Island to Cape Verde. It spans a forty year trajectory of recording, documenting, and creating a narrative that connects dots and points of space, time, history, and memory. In this the reconstitution of forgotten and overlooked stories is the legacy. The Rhode Island return of the artist and his work 40 years later brings full circle a unique and important transatlantic legacy, connecting a body of work that is local, global, and universal.

The Science of Happiness with Fred Luskin
Fred Luskin, PhD '99, is director of the Stanford Forgiveness Projects and a senior consultant in wellness and health promotion services at Vaden Health Center.
Dr. Luskin teaches a variety of classes on happiness at Stanford. He's part of a movement that looked at psychology in the mid-1990's and saw science based on what's wrong with people: misery, anger, frustration, and depression. His focus is not on what's gone wrong, but instead on what makes people happy and why. He describes the neurobiology behind mood states and offers strategies for finding the good, becoming more peaceful, improving relationships and appreciating yourself.
This Classes Without Quizzes lecture was filmed on location at Stanford Reunion Homecoming 2012 by the Stanford Alumni Association.

September Song 2016 GoFundMe Campaign
September Song Musical Theatre has been bringing quality theater experiences to our participants on and off the stage since 1974. We are a non-profit theatre group as a field of interest fund of the Community Foundation of Carroll County.
This year we are bringing Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat to life at the Carroll Arts Center Theater in Westminster, Maryland in September 2016. We are raising funds to help with the many costs associated with mounting a full scale musical production.
Monies raised with this campaign will go directly to our production of “Joseph”, covering expenses such as; facility rental, costumes, sets, props and more.
We need the funds by September 5th, 2016.
September Song has brought exceptional musical theatre to Carroll County, Maryland for over 40 years; because of drastic budget cuts for the school systems in our state, we can no longer rely on school facilities to house our productions. Although the schools were once practical community spaces for non-profit organizations, the rental fees have now made use of those facilities impossible. The related expenses for renting a school theatre for our last season was almost the demise of September Song. Although we have found a new home, our budget was drained and we need to rebuild. Having the support of this GoFundMe campaign will mean the rebirth of September Song Musical Theatre.
Our gratitude in never felt more strongly than when we see the joy our audiences experience at our performances; the success of this campaign will make that possible again. Support from the community will keep September Song alive and thriving and there would not be words enough to express our gratitude.

Kamenetz Announces Big Screen Movies Returning
Cinemark Theatres Opening 16-Screen Theatre at Towson Circle
Towson, Md. (January 27, 2012) - Baltimore County Executive Kevin Kamenetz joined The Cordish Companies and Heritage Properties to announce leading motion picture exhibitor Cinemark Theatres as the anchor tenant for a new $85 million entertainment center in downtown Towson.
The occasion marked the first tenant announcement for the next expansion phase of the already successful Towson Circle development, which features Barnes & Noble, Trader Joe's and Pier 1 Imports.
State of the Art Features
The theatre at Towson Circle III includes 16 state-of-the-art screens and 3,200 plush, stadium-style seats with 100 percent digital projection and enhanced sound systems. The new theatre will contain a Cinemark XD Extreme Digital Cinema auditorium exhibiting the newest movies every week, including 2D and RealD 3D pictures.
Projected Opening Set for Fall 2014
Towson Circle III will be located on a 4.2 acre parcel bounded by East Joppa Road, Pennsylvania and Virginia Avenues. In addition to the Cinemark Theatres, the entertainment center will feature five new restaurants and an 862-space parking garage. The underground garage, to be operated by the Baltimore County Revenue Authority, is projected to open in 2013, with the theatres and restaurants opening fall 2014.
Jobs
We are thrilled that Cinemark Theatres is bringing the big-screen movie experience back to downtown Towson in a big way, said Baltimore County Executive Kevin Kamenetz. This $85 million private investment adds new jobs, new entertainment choices, and renewed excitement to the center of downtown Towson.
Towson Circle III is projected to create 1,530 direct and indirect jobs, including 660 construction jobs and 870 jobs once the theatres and restaurants open. Construction jobs will generate a total payroll of $27.6 million during the 2-1/2 years of construction. Once the project opens, jobs will generate an estimated $16.4 million annual payroll. Towson Circle III is projected to generate $1.75 million in County taxes each year, including $840,000 from amusement taxes, plus an estimated $2.9 million each year in State sales taxes.
Advanced Technologies
It is with great anticipation that we bring Cinemark Theatres to downtown Towson downtown, said Alan Stock, Cinemark's Chief Executive Officer. Our main focus is to create the best movie-going experience possible for our guests, designing an entertainment environment that offers technologically advanced amenities and a viewing experience that simply cannot be duplicated. We are excited to share all that Cinemark has to offer with a whole new audience at Towson Circle III.
While several different approaches have previously been considered for the site, none brought the energy and excitement of Cinemark and an array of quality restaurants, said Mike Batza, Chairman and CEO of Heritage Properties. This will be a classic Cordish-style entertainment and dining venue, and should be a destination for people living around the region.
Towson Circle III Considered Outstanding Addition
Blake Cordish, Vice President of The Cordish Companies stated, We are thrilled to have Cinemark anchor Towson Circle III. Cinemark is a leader in the movie industry, representing quality, innovation and world-class entertainment. Towson Circle III will be an outstanding addition to Towson and we and our partners, Heritage Properties, are pleased to further our investment in Baltimore County.
This is a great private investment in our county seat that will benefit all of Baltimore County, said Baltimore County Council Chairwoman Vicki Almond.
