These found works feature mutilated books\, their pages surrounding you\, that were discovered within the University of Arizona's Main Library collection. These scanned pages represent a small fraction of a found image archive. While mutilation of books is a nearly universal problem amongst public library collections\, it usually takes the form of highlighting\, note taking and page removal. In contrast\, however\, these pages have been systematically annotated\, illustrated and\, in effect\, rewritten. In this exhibition\, the artist has selected key images to address issues of racism\, misogyny\, anonymous and free speech\, and how these acts of vandalism affect the public at large. The exhibition will open with a reception on Jan. 15 from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m. Close will give a public artist talk on Feb. 4 at 6 p.m. in the gallery.

This tour will provide visitors with a behind the scenes look at cutting-edge optical technology and the revolutionary spin-casting processes involved in making giant telescope mirrors. Starting with the construction of the mold\, to spin-casting\, to grinding and polishing\, the final result is a lightweight mirror ready for transportation to a mountaintop observatory where it will peer into remote regions of the cosmos\, exploring the edges of the universe in an effort to answer a vast array of astronomical questions and make new discoveries. The UA's Steward Observatory is the only place in the world where giant spin-cast telescope mirrors are produced.

Her photographic work is dissected and reordered to present a non-linear amalgamation of life experiences. \"In a society based on the power of human reason\, the holistic experience of mind and body is vastly devalued. We are taught to compartmentalize events and emotions and to find solace in the neatly packaged interpretations of happenings presented to us.\" In defiant opposition to these mechanical responses\, Stringfield mottles the white walls of the gallery space with oblique images fashioned to blur the lines between internal\, external\, natural and manufactured. Stringfield's carefully obscured references create tension between our ability to see and comprehend beauty\, sensuality\, linearity and the respective antitheses.  The Joseph Gross and Lionel Rombach Galleries are located on the UA campus between the Museum of Art  and the Center for Creative Photography.

In \"Working the Line\,\" Taylor's unbiased photographs allow us to glimpse into a world of restricted access\, where the border becomes a complex segregate emotionally\, physically and nationally. His work documents patrol agents surveying and tracking temporary inhabitants in a terrain freckled with landmarks that allude to the iconographic notions of Hollywood's West. These images reveal the idealized splendor of the west while simultaneously exposing the reality of this highly militarized space. We are left to question our awareness of liberty\, humanity\, marginal space and abandonment. Taylor is an associate professor at New Mexico State University\, where he teaches photography. His works have been shown in exhibitions at Stanlee and Gerald Rubin Center for the Visual Arts at the University of Texas at El Paso\; El Paso Museum of Art\; SF Camerawork\, San Francisco\; Society for Contemporary Photography\, Kansas City\, MO\; and Northlight Gallery at Arizona State University. Taylor's documentation of the U.S.-Mexico border has been supported by a fellowship from the John Simon Guggenheim Memorial Foundation.Gallery hours are Monday through Friday\, 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. and it is free to the public.The Joseph Gross and Lionel Rombach Galleries are located on the UA campus between the Museum of Art and the Center for Creative Photography.

In this course we'll begin by writing simple acrostics and then move on to homolinguistic and homophonic translations\, between-the-lines poems\, inside-the-letters poems\, \"procedural\" poems (where constraint rules the day)\, conceptual poems\, torn poems\, found poems\, appropriated poems\, shuffled and color-wheel and mixed-genre poems and more\, all in an attempt to break through normative ego-based composition (while fully acknowledging that we all have egos that are here to stay) and to travel paths we can't quite find without such experiments.Participants may find that after this class they will continue to discover new territories with or without experimental rules in place. This course includes both reading (Bernadette Mayer\, Jackson Mac Low\, Susan Howe\, bpNichol\, Caroline Bergvall) and writing of poetry\, and requires a willing and adventurous spirit and an open mind. Appropriate for writers of all levels of experience. Call or visit the Poetry Center to register.

Both are directed by Brent Gibbs. There are two sides to every story\; this is an opportunity to experience both. One of Shakespeare's most controversial comedies\, \"The Taming of the Shrew\,\" is a wry and witty battle of the sexes. Renowned for her sharp tongue\, Kate vows never to wed. Hearing of her sizeable dowry\, the flamboyant Petruchio agrees to marry Kate sight-unseen. After a tempestuous meeting\, Petruchio engages in an unconventional and surprising courtship as he tries to \"tame\" Kate. Written by Shakespeare's collaborator and protégé\, Fletcher's \"The Tamer Tamed\" continues Shakespeare's beloved battle of the sexes\, painting a post-nuptial portrait in stark contrast to that of \"Shrew.\" Petruchio remarries after Katherine's death only to discover that his new wife\, Maria\, has devised a plan to prove that women are equal to men.  The plays will be performed in rotation\, with a different show every night. Each play stands on its own\, so audiences can enjoy them individually or in whatever order works best for them. Director Gibbs explains\, \"Audiences get the rare chance to experience the work of both William Shakespeare and his collaborator and eventual successor\, John Fletcher. Together they show how difficult and rewarding the struggle for love can be.\" Dates and times\:\"Taming of the Shrew\"Previews\: Feb. 21 at 1\:30 p.m.\, Feb. 22 at 7\:30 p.m.Evenings\: Feb. 24-26 and March 10\, 11\, 13\, 26 at 7\:30 p.m.Matinees\: Feb. 27\, March 7 and 27 at 1\:30 p.m. \"The Tamer Tamed\" Previews\: Feb. 28 at 1\:30 p.m.\, March 1 at 7\:30 p.m.Evenings\: March 3-6\, 12\, 25\, 27 at 7\:30 p.m.Matinees\: March 6\, 13\, 28 at 1\:30 p.m. END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP;VALUE=DATE:20120210T203514Z DTSTART;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20100221T170000Z DTEND;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20100314T230000Z UID:http://uanews.org/node/30089 URL;VALUE=URI:http://uanews.org/node/30089 LOCATION:Student Union Memorial Center SUMMARY:Wheel of Life Sand Mandala Creation DESCRIPTION:The Arizona Friends of Tibet and UA BookStores invite you to view the creation of a traditional Tibetan Buddhist sand mandala on the lower level of the main UA BookStore.

Johnson Memorial Organ Series DESCRIPTION:University of Arizona faculty artist Pamela Decker will present a program of both sacred and secular literature\, in both solo and ensemble groupings\, during the Roy A. Johnson Memorial Organ series. The program offers two world premieres\: a suite of works by Decker based on hymn tunes and chants\, and a work for trombone and organ by Roger Foreman\, who will be in Tucson for this premiere performance. Trombonist Patrick Lawrence will be the guest artist for this performance. Decker's suite was completed and published in 2009 but developed over the past two years. Various works from the suite are already slated for performance by numerous artists in many prestigious venues\, including St. Bonaventure in Lyon\, France. Foreman's work was commissioned by the Southern Arizona chapter of the American Guild of Organists in the interest of encouraging the creation of new literature by emerging composers of significant talent. Foreman completed his bachelor's degree in composition at the UA in 2008\, and he is currently pursuing graduate studies at Florida State University. Past honors include performances of works by the Tucson Symphony and an impressive list of awards. Decker's program also includes her \"Elegy and Dances\" for alto saxophone and organ\, featuring saxophonist Michael Keepe\, and \"Poèmes Evangéliques\" by noted French composer Jean Langlais.

Prior to and during Vaudeville\, blackface minstrelsy generally entertained audiences at the expense of those it ridiculed.Despite its racist origins\, however\, as a part of Vaudeville\, blackface also became transformative\: Its early 20th century use by Vaudevillians of color\, such as Ernest Hogan\, Bert Williams and George Walker\, allowed them greater access to better paying gigs in front of white audiences than had been possible pre-Vaudeville\, resulted in multiracial casts sharing the stage and opened the doors for other Vaudevillians of color\, such as Timmie Rogers\, to take the stage without blackface - all of which enabled movement toward desegregation and equality.

Matter's work encompasses architecture\, exhibition design\, custom fabrication and speculative proposals for the built environment.Fundamental to Matter's design approach is an intense interest in content-specific materiality. Experimenting\, making models\, prototyping full-scale details\, developing methods of construction and testing materials - indeed thinking with one's hands - in the firm's in-house shop is an integral part of its process\, often leading to material solutions undiscoverable through cerebral exercises alone. The firm is particularly interested in the play between the manmade artifact and the natural world - striving to emulate the unpredictability and imperfections found in nature by embracing the inherent idiosyncrasies of materials.Through exhibition designs as well as installations - Matter's work is situated at the intersection between architecture and public theater\, embracing ideas outside the architectural discipline\, interacting with varying definitions of the general public. They routinely collaborate with curators\, artists\, graphic designers\, media artists\, historians\, theatrical lighting designers\, policy makers\, fashionistas\, scientists and obsessive collectors of arcane objects. Wheeler and Zollinger first collaborated as key members of the Cranbrook Architecture Office\, a design/build office directed by Dan Hoffman. Zollinger is currently assistant professor in the School of Constructed Environments\, Parsons the New School for Design.Matter was a finalist of the 2008 PS1/MoMA Young Architects Program\, a winner of the AIA's New Practices New York 2008\, and is a finalist for two design competitions for shade structures in Phoenix. Matter's work has been featured in FRAME\, I.D. Magazine and The New York Times.A Q&A will follow the event.

The threats to national security include attacking buildings and destroying critical infrastructures such as power grids and telecommunication systems. Data mining techniques are being investigated to find out who the suspicious people are and who is capable of carrying out terrorist activities. The first part of the presentation will discuss data mining for cyber security applications. For example\, anomaly detection techniques could be used to detect unusual patterns and behaviors. Link analysis may be used to trace the viruses to the perpetrators. Classification may be used to group various cyber attacks and then use the profiles to detect an attack when it occurs. Prediction may be used to determine potential future attacks depending in a way on information learned about terrorists through e-mail and phone conversations. The second part of the presentation will discuss the various types of threats to national security and describe data mining techniques for handling such threats. The third part of the presentation will discuss some of the research challenges. We need some form of real-time data mining\, that is\, the results have to be generated in real time. We also need to build models in real time for real-time intrusion detection. Data mining is also being applied for credit card fraud detection and biometrics related applications. Another challenge is to mine multimedia data including surveillance video. Finally\, we need to maintain the privacy of individuals.

Kuiper Space Sciences SUMMARY:Lunar and Planetary Laboratory Colloquium DESCRIPTION:Gordon Ogilvie from the University of Cambridge is the scheduled speaker.  Tidal interactions between a planet and its host star are important when the orbital separation is sufficiently small\, and many such systems are being discovered by the transit method. Tidal dissipation in the planet generally leads to orbital circularization accompanied by heating of the planet\, while dissipation in the star typically leads to the inward migration and eventual destruction of the planet. The spin-orbit alignment\, measurable by the Rossiter-McLaughlin effect\, is also modified. While the celestial mechanics can readily be studied using parametrized models\, the fluid dynamics of tidal interactions is much richer than can be described using a constant tidal quality factor or lag time. I will discuss some of the mechanisms for tidal dissipation involving the excitation of low-frequency waves in rotating and/or stratified fluids and their dissipation through linear or nonlinear processes. While numerous uncertainties remain\, the observational evidence from short-period extrasolar planets and from the satellites of giant planets in the solar system provide valuable constraints that will allow theories to be tested and refined.

A strong element in his work is the line. As it unfolds to communicate an idea\, an unwritten language of line\, form\, shape and color come together to share a story. Elements of this world include stars\, flowers\, rivers and the ocean merging with the unseen elements of the inner worlds. The works being presented will range from paintings on wood and canvas to small wood block assemblages.

Kuiper Space Sciences SUMMARY:Lunar and Planetary Laboratory Colloquium DESCRIPTION:David Brain\, of the University of California\, Berkeley\, will present \"The Ins and Outs of Martian Mini-Magnetospheres.\" Measurements of magnetic fields and charged particles near Mars made over the past four decades have taught us about its plasma environment\, upper atmosphere\, near-surface radiation environment\, subsurface and deep interior. The upper atmosphere and plasma environment of Mars are of interest because they are the sites of energy exchange between the planet and its surroundings\, dominated by the sun and solar wind. For this reason they may have played a critical role in Martian climate evolution. A number of recent spacecraft observations demonstrate that the exchange of particles and energy between the solar wind and atmosphere is particularly dynamic at Mars because strong localized crustal magnetic fields form mini-magnetospheres that rotate with the planet\, influencing the motion of charged particles. Brain will discuss two observed influences of crustal fields on particle motion near Mars and their implications\: episodic escape of atmospheric particles via detached crustal fields and localized energy deposition characterized by ultraviolet aurora on the Martian night side.

The nationwide economic recession has left many state budgets in an upheaval and has severely impacted institutions of higher education across the United States. Public universities in particular are caught in a tight balancing act of generating additional revenue while maintaining their land-grant mission. While higher education scholars have investigated and theorized about institutional change\, few have actually engaged institutional leaders and the local community - including legislators\, lobbyists and other leaders - on the current problems\, the decision making processes and creative solutions. This unique colloquium invites higher education and community leaders to share their experiences and insights and engage in meaningful dialogue on forging unchartered solutions.

Human flesh search\, or HFS\, originating in China\, has become an explosive Web phenomenon. In China\, HFS is being routinely employed by netizens to identify corrupt government officials and individuals engaging in other illegal or unethical practices. After the devastating Wenchuan earthquake in May 2008\, HFS played a positive role in helping people find their missing relatives and friends. Companies and celebrity hopefuls have also been exploiting HFS as an advertising and public relations platform. A range of HFS-related issues\, such as privacy\, legality\, government and community-based regulations\, are being hotly debated in various online communities and popular media. What is human flesh search? A definition from Xinhuanet.com reads\: \"HFS is a phenomenon of massive (human collaborative) researching using Internet media such as blogs and forums.\" We have collected the entire set of online episodes commonly labeled as HFS events. We have come up with our own definition of HFS\: \"a Web-facilitated crowd behavior involving a number of volunteering netizens to accomplish a goal-oriented task of common interest through (a) sharing and disseminating information acquired from both online and offline sources and (b) possibly taking individual offline actions or group activities coordinated online.\" Human flesh search engines\, or HFSE\, are platforms (e.g. dedicated Web sites and online forums) to enable HFS activities. In this presentation\, we will report and discuss our preliminary investigation of HFS phenomena from the perspective of social computing.

To find out\, Thompson spent the year working alongside Latino immigrants\, who initially thought he was either crazy or an undercover immigration agent. He stooped over lettuce fields in Arizona and worked the graveyard shift at a chicken slaughterhouse in rural Alabama. He dodged taxis - not always successfully - as a bicycle delivery \"boy\" for an upscale Manhattan restaurant and was fired from a flower shop by a boss who\, he quickly realized\, was nuts. Advance praise\: \"This is a big-hearted American book\, audacious and bold. Gabriel Thompson goes the distance\, and should help silence the nativist nabobs and peddlers of racial propaganda who clog the immigration discourse today.

Kuiper Space Sciences SUMMARY:Lunar and Planetary Laboratory Colloquium DESCRIPTION:Jonathan Fortney\, from the University of California\, Santa Cruz\, will present \"The Thermal Evolution and Interior Structure of Transiting Planets.\"There are now nearly 70 planets observed to transit their parent star\, which allows for a precise measurement of a planet's mass and radius. More than 60 are gas-giant \"hot Jupiters\,\" while three are Neptune-class and two are below seven Earth masses. The recently announced low-mass planet GJ1214b\, if it has any analog in the solar system\, may be a mini-Neptune\, but it could have no H-He envelope at all. Fortney will present models of the interior structure and cooling of this intriguing planet. For the more massive hot Jupiters\, about 1/3 have radii larger than expected\, perhaps indicating an additional interior energy source. Heating via tidal dissipation has put forward by a number of authors\, and Fortney will present results of a model that fully couples the orbital and thermal evolution of close-in planets. This work casts some doubt on whether tidal heating is a cure-all for the large radius planets.

The ancients thought it was a radiator\, cooling the blood. Modern views see it as an activator\, using inputs from the environment in combination with prior knowledge to generate behaviors (walking\, talking\, eating and drinking) and mental states (feelings\, desires and beliefs). Recently the idea has emerged that the brain acts as a predictor\, using inputs and stored knowledge to generate models of the world\, and of the consequences of possible actions we and others might pursue. These models can predict what will happen in the next minute\, hour or decade\, and allow us to behave in the most adaptive way. The human brain\, and the mind it creates\, is enormously complex. Everything we do\, feel and think emerges from billions of nerve cells and their interconnections. Brain development is shaped by evolution and genetics\, but is also greatly affected by experience. The mind takes shape through exposure to individuals and cultures\, and becomes a constructive and predictive device. It creates inner worlds - past\, present and future - that allow us to behave in highly adaptive ways\, if we so choose. It also allows us to engage in risky behavior and make bad decisions. Six speakers in this UA College of Science series will explore how brains are built\, how minds are made\, and how modern cognitive and neural science is changing the way we think about memory\, money\, morality\, mortality and more. Parking is available on a pay per use basis in the Tyndall Avenue Garage. Call 520-621-4090 or go to the College of Science Web site for more information.

His book \"The Assassins' Gate\: America in Iraq\" received several prizes and was named one of the 10 best books of 2005 by The New York Times Book Review. In 2003\, Packer was awarded an Overseas Press Club award for his examination of the difficulties faced during the occupation and reconstruction of Iraq. His newest book\, \"Interesting Times\: Writings from a Turbulent Decade\,\" was published in the fall of 2009. In the Sabbagh lecture\, Packer will discuss how long-form narrative journalism is a peculiarly American prose genre. Historically\, it has flourished more in domestic than foreign reporting\, but in the years after Sept. 11\, 2001\, this changed\, and there was a renaissance of in-depth stories from abroad\, especially from Muslim countries where U.S. strategic interests were involved. Whether they know it or not\, many narrative journalists borrow certain approaches from anthropology in covering foreign places\, while at the same time they are far from being experts. What are the possibilities and limits of this form in educating the American public? What is the symbiosis between journalism and social science?The Sabbagh lecture is presented by the School of Anthropology at the University of Arizona. These lectures focus on the Arab cultures of the Middle East from an anthropological perspective. Through the generosity of Tucsonans Entisar and Adib Sabbagh\, an expert in Arab cultures is brought to campus each year for a public lecture and a master seminar for graduate students. The Sabbaghs have sponsored the series for 18 years.

The nationwide economic recession has left many state budgets in an upheaval and has severely impacted institutions of higher education across the United States. Public universities in particular are caught in a tight balancing act of generating additional revenue while maintaining their land-grant mission. While higher education scholars have investigated and theorized about institutional change\, few have actually engaged institutional leaders and the local community - including legislators\, lobbyists and other leaders - on the current problems\, the decision making processes and creative solutions. This unique colloquium invites higher education and community leaders to share their experiences and insights and engage in meaningful dialogue on forging unchartered solutions. All UA students\, faculty\, staff and local community members invited!

She graduated from Harvard University's Graduate School of Design and worked on the east coast and in Europe before moving to California in 1981. After working in collaborative partnerships for more than 10 years\, she established Andrea Cochran Landscape Architecture in 1998.  Cochran's early professional experience in the office of Jose Luis Sert was pivotal in informing her approach to landscape design. Across a diverse range of project type and scale\, Cochran's work is distinguished by its careful awareness of site\, climate and the existing environment. She instills all of her work\, from small-scale residential to large-scale institutional\, with an intimacy and attention to detail that transcends the project boundaries and resonates in the larger design community.Cochran is a leader in her local design community and a strong believer in civic contribution. She served as a commissioner on the civic design committee of the San Francisco Arts Commission and on the executive board for the Architecture and Design Forum at the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art. Cochran was a finalist in landscape architecture for the Cooper-Hewitt National Design Awards in 2006 and 2009. A monograph of her work was published by Princeton Architectural Press in May of this year. A Q&A will follow the talk.

Two communicating gateways\, A and B\, running LOT would automatically and securely establish efficient tunnels\, encapsulating packets sent between them. This allows B to discard packets which use A's network addresses but were not sent via A (i.e. are spoofed) and vice versa. LOT also allows B to request A to filter DDoS traffic sent via A to B from particular hosts or subnetworks. Together\, these mechanisms provide effective defenses against many DDoS attacks\; the anti-spoofing mechanism also helps against other attacks\, in particular network scans. LOT is practical\: It is easy to manage (\"plug and play\,\" no coordination between gateways)\, deployed incrementally and only at edge gateways (no change to core routers or hosts) and has negligible overhead in terms of bandwidth and processing\, as we validate by experiments on a prototype implementation. LOT storage requirements are also modest. LOT can be used alone\, providing protection against blind (spoofing) attackers\, or to opportunistically set up IPsec tunnels\, providing protection against Man in the Middle (MITM) attackers. Professor Herzberg received a Bachelor of Science in computer engineering\, a Master of Science in electrical engineering and a Doctor of Science in computer science from the Technion\, Israel in 1982\, 1987 and 1991\, respectively. Since 1982\, he worked in software and systems research and development\, mostly in security and networking\, in several organizations and companies. During 1991-2000\, Herzberg filled research and management positions in IBM Research (New York and Israel). Later\, he was a CTO at a startup\, and since 2002\, an associate professor in the computer science department of Bar Ilan University. His current research is mainly in applied cryptography\, secure communication and secure e-commerce.
