The Deli Restaurant’s Z Bar brings back it’s Meet the Brewery series starting this Wednesday at 8pm and continuing all the way through April.
Tickets are on sale now for $10 at The Deli. What does your $10 get me, you ask?

The problem with statistics is that they are almost always seen in a way that supports your own opinions. Whatever your politics or beliefs, bias happens.
Blogger and photographer Joanna Rees showed a great example of this in her recent post on Penn State salaries. Rees posits in her post that not only does Penn State discriminate between men and women, the University also values business over the arts. At this point, I will mention that Rees is working on a PhD in Art Education and she is including her findings in a paper for the Women's Caucus Enacting Change.
Read on for a closer look at the statistics.
Did you enjoy all the snowfall we got over the weekend? Good, because State College is about to get whacked again. The National Weather Service is reporting that a snowfall will enter Happy Valley tonight and deposit another 5-10 inches of snow by Wednesday. Sound exciting? It should, there's a possibility (however slight) that if the storm hits late enough Wednesday morning (2-3am) that Penn State might experience something even more rare than a winning season for the basketball team, a snow day.

Today, at approximately 10:30 am, Governor Ed Rendell will announce the state’s budget for the 2010-2011 fiscal year. After finally getting its appropriations from the state two months ago, Penn State will be looking forward to today’s announcement with a little fear.

Gender studies in college has become a hot-button topic recently. Single college ladies, you can be sure you'll put a ring on it some day thanks to a new study put out by Newsweek.
"For women, financial stability used to be the most important reason for marriage," the article reported. "Today, educated women are a lot less concerned about how much their husband earns, and more interested in whether he is willing to share child care and housework."
The study's main focus is to disprove the long-standing idea that "smart women finish last," placing emphasis on the fact that more women now attend college than men. In the study, Betsey Stevenson, an assistant professor at the Wharton School at the University of Pennsylvania found that "In 1950, less than three quarters of white college-educated women went on to marry by age 40 [compared with 90 percent of high-school graduates]. But today, 86 percent marry by age 40, compared with 88 percent of high-school grads."

...at least that's what Mike Wallace proposed as the name for this year's festival. The first organizational meeting for Wallypalooza 2010 was held tonight and it looks like this year will be a fresh start for the festival.
The first goal is to diversify the show. Mike Wallace said he wants bands this year to be mainstream, affordable, but also talented. Hip Hop, Indie Rock and even Country are being considered for this show. Jesse Ruegg and Cameron Scott of Roustabout will be serving in an advising capacity to help with band selection and booking. The festival itself is being co-sponsored by UPUA and The LION FM. LION president Zach Zimbler said UPUA approached them to help organize the event.
In a response to criticism that there wasn't enough outside input during last year's Wallypalooza, UPUA's "Spring Concert Planning Commission" seems like it will be operating with an unprecedented level of community involvement.
