The issues are complex and rapidly emerging\; ranging from historic tort problems to far-reaching concerns about how wildfires are being used by terrorists and drug lords. This symposium will bring together law and economics scholars to discuss important public issues. How can public policy address the effects of climate change on wildfire\, and wildfire on climate change? Are the environmental and fiscal costs of ex ante prevention measures justified? What are the appropriate levels of prevention and suppression responsibility borne by private\, state and federal actors? Can tort liability provide a solution for realigning the grossly distorted incentives that currently exist for private landowners and government firefighters?  The larger question is\: Do the existing incentives in wildlife institutions provide incentives for efficient private and collective action and how might they be improved?The wildfire law symposia will provide a first-ever forum for influential law and economics scholars to apply the analysis and methodologies of their field to this important area of law in an unprecedented show of scholarly attention to an important public problem.  The goal of the symposium is not only to produce new research on this important topic but also stimulate research after the symposium. The interaction among scholars and literature produced will benefit other issues\, including climate change\, other natural disasters and the growing nexus of environmental law and law and economics.The symposium articles will be published in 2011 as an edited volume (Karen Bradshaw and Dean Lueck\, co-editors) \"Wildfire Policy\: Law and Economics Perspectives\" by Resources for the Future Press.This symposium is co-sponsored by the Program on Economics Law and the Environment.

Gutenkunst's group seeks to understand the function and evolution of such networks by building and analyzing detailed computational simulation models. They then connect the dynamics of networks to their evolution. Along the way\, they grapple with computational issues of parameter optimization\, sensitivity analysis\, and the integration of disparate biological data sets. In this talk he will discuss some of these issues in the context of studying why some proteins evolve faster than others.

A panel of experts will present their viewpoints on research integrity when dealing with Native American topics. The seminar\, scheduled during Native American Heritage month in November\, will include the following speakers\: Jennie R. Joe\, director of the Native American Research and Training Center at the UA\; Karen Underhill\, head of Special Collections for Northern Arizona University Libraries\; and Ally Krebs\, University of Washington student and Knowledge River alumnus. We invite proposals for graduate student papers to be presented at the seminar. These papers will be reviewed and selected by the project leads and invited experts. Proposals are due by 5 p.m. on Sept. 30.

Dan Lee\, director for the Office of Copyright Management and Scholarly Communications at the University Libraries\, will explore the open access scholarship model that seeks the ideal of free\, full-text\, immediate online access to peer-reviewed scholarship so news\, ideas and information can be obtained rapidly and freely by everyone. Lee's lecture\, \"Open Access and Creativity\,\" presents the argument that open access is worth supporting because it stimulates scholarly creativity and innovation.

Scholarly experts in this area of study will give presentations and also participate in a panel discussion with selected graduate students. Invited speakers include\: Jennie Joe\, professor in the department of family and community medicine in the College of Medicine and an American Indian studies faculty member\, will discuss \"The Philosophical and Cultural Challenges of Conducting Research With Tribal Communities.\" Karen Underhill\, coordinator for Special Collections and Archives from Northern Arizona University's Cline Library will discuss \"A Review of the Protocols for Native American Archival Materials Project.\" Allison B.

But his trial is unique because he grounded his arguments not only polemically\, with a defense of Judaism\, but also with the principle of freedom of conscience. His trial offers rare insight into thinking on this subject by a person who did not belong to the European elite. Bodian has written on different aspects of the history and culture of the Portuguese Jews of Europe\, including two books\: \"Hebrews of the Portuguese Nation\: Conversos\" and \"Community in Early Modern Amsterdam and Dying in the Law of Moses\: Crypto-Jewish Martyrdom in the Iberian World.\" The lecture is also sponsored by\: Marriott Tucson University Park UA Department of History UA Institute for the Study of Religion and Culture UA Division for Late Medieval and Reformation Studies END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP;VALUE=DATE:20120210T224206Z DTSTART;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20101103T203000Z DTEND;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20101103T223000Z UID:http://uanews.org/node/34955 URL;VALUE=URI:http://uanews.org/node/34955 LOCATION:Harvill SUMMARY:UA ADVANCE Data Blitz DESCRIPTION:University of Arizona ADVANCE will host a data blitz on mind\, brain and behavior with three notable junior faculty members from different departments and colleges.
