LOCATION:Steward Observatory Mirror Lab 
SUMMARY:Steward Observatory Mirror Lab Tour
DESCRIPTION:A tour of the Mirror Lab on the University of Arizona campus offers a unique opportunity to experience the groundbreaking work being done at our facility located under the UA football stadium.  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. We look forward to showing you how this is done and how we are changing the way astronomers and telescopes explore the universe today and in the future.Tours are available on Tuesdays and Fridays.

LOCATION:UA Museum of Art
SUMMARY:UA Museum of Art Exhibition\: \"Metropolis\" 
DESCRIPTION:The classic silent art film \"Metropolis\" will be featured as part of an exhibition of the same name at the University of Arizona Museum of Art.  Fritz Lang's iconic 1927 German film presents the future as a beautiful and frightening dystopia.  The city\, for the upper classes\, is a gorgeous pleasure dome\, where everything runs like clockwork and leisure is the occupation of most of the occupants.  Beneath the ground\, the lower classes toil away in endless drudgery\, working the huge machines that make the city run.  When discontent brings the workers to the edge of revolt\, a battle between good and evil ensues that threatens to destroy the civilization for everyone.   The exhibition \"Metropolis\" explores the themes of the film\, including labor issues\, class warfare\, architectural design\, industrial mechanization and the future.  Drawing from both the UAMA permanent collection and the fine arts collection of the Center for Creative Photography\, the exhibition presents artists grappling with the same topics presented in the film.  The artistic presentations do not always adopt the movie's viewpoints.     The museum will continuously screen the 90-minute version of the film that substantially follows the 1927 version edited by Channing Pollock for American audiences.  The original German version was considered too controversial for American consumption.    Even if you have never seen the film \"Metropolis\" you may recognize some of its widespread cultural influences - including the \"Star Wars'\" droid C-3PO based on the film's robot\, \"Blade Runner's\" Tyrell Building based on the film's New Tower of Babel\, and the film's footage in Queen's video for the song \"Radio Ga Ga.\"

SUMMARY:Art Exhibit featuring Neal Galloway
DESCRIPTION:Neal Galloway is an artist and graphic designer working and living in Tucson. He earned his bachelor's degree in art and in music from the University of Tulsa. This year he is beginning the Master of Fine Arts program at the University of Arizona.    Galloway is extremely interested in the way space is confined and defined in an image. Walls\, floors and ceilings help define an interior space\, just as trees\, clouds\, roads and architecture define the edges of an outside space. He explores this dynamic through drawings\, paintings and collages. Painting holds particular tactile and symbolic significance for him. He's interested in the connection forged with painters in centuries past by such a historic medium. The patience that this medium demands is rewarding\, and the layers of paint represent\, and literally hold in them\, the time invested in the works themselves.     Galloway exaggerates subtle color differences between objects and surfaces in his paintings. He is entranced by the way the light from a window or lamp pushes color across a wall\, driving the darker tones back to the corners and out toward the edges and heightening the sense of perspective. This kind of play between and within the colors of his paintings gives them a unique and subdued energy. Galloway has indicated that he finds particular inspiration in the paintings of Euan Uglow\, Rackstraw Downes and Edward Hopper.    In his collages he enjoys playing with perspective by creating believable spaces that recede in three dimensions but that also contain a sort of visual dissonance within the image fueled by the 'just off' placement of a chair or rug.    Subtlety and mystery are essential artistic qualities and Galloway  seeks both in his paintings\, drawings and collages.

LOCATION:Joseph Gross Gallery
SUMMARY:Gregory Euclide\: \"Real\, Natural\, and Unsustainable\" Exhibit
DESCRIPTION:Gregory Euclide's work explores the manner in which we experience nature and how these encounters are tied to the cultural practice of fabricating landscapes as idealized constructs. His recent compositions are a series of sculptural \"captures\" made by pouring paint or liquid adherent over the natural environment. Euclide uses the complexity and interconnectedness of the environment as the content and conceptual framework for his art. In \"Real\, Natural\, and Unsustainable\,\" Euclide will explore the Tucson landscape\, building ethereal\, bucolic topographies to provide an explorable vignette of our local surroundings. His work is a manifestation of the tension between our desires to engage\, preserve and sustain the natural world and the demands our lifestyles place upon the environment.Euclide's work has been shown in exhibitions at the Minnesota Museum of American Art\, White Walls\, San Francisco\, and the Massachusetts Museum of Contemporary Art. He recently completed his installation\, \"Because There's There\, Here is Just Fine\" for the Biennial of the Americas held in Denver\, Colo. The gallery is open Monday through Friday and this exhibit is free to the public everyday. The Joseph Gross and Lionel Rombach Galleries are located on the University of Arizona campus between the Museum of Art and the Center for Creative Photography. Parking is available on Second Street\, east of Park Avenue\, or in the parking garage north of Speedway on Park Avenue. For further  questions please visit our website below.

Observed since 1982\, Banned Books Week is an annual event promoted by the American Library Association that serves to celebrate the freedom to read and to remind Americans not to take this precious democratic freedom for granted.  What are some of the most frequently challenged books? Why was a book challenged? What groups led the challenge? These issues and more are explored in the \"Banned Books\" exhibit at the Main Library on display from Sept. 18-Oct. 21.  A highlight of this exhibit is the classic American novel \"To Kill a Mockingbird\,\" by Harper Lee\, which was challenged for its use of language and racial themes. This year is the 50th anniversary of this Pulitzer Prize-winning work. This exhibit also brings a local focus to the challenged book debate by exploring recent legislation regarding ethnic studies education in Arizona.  The exhibit is curated by the student-led Progressive Librarians Guild\, the University Libraries and the local chapter of REFORMA\, an association to promote library and information services to Latinos and Spanish-speaking individuals.  Related Banned Books Week events\:Free screening of the 1962 film adaptation of \"To Kill a Mockingbird\" on Sept. 28 at 6\:30 p.m. at the Gallagher Theatre in the Student Union Memorial Center.

SUMMARY:Invitation for Curriculum Learning Community 
DESCRIPTION:The problem\: Curricular expansion Undergraduate curricula have grown out of disciplinary needs and faculty perceptions of what students need to be successful. Although some departments benefit from accrediting organizations that provide an external \"reality check\" when it comes to curricular matters\, this is certainly not true for many other undergraduate disciplines.    The growth of the undergraduate curriculum in many disciplines has led to a situation of \"curricular glut\" in which new courses and degrees are continuously being added\, even in times of institutional belt-tightening. The number of units required for graduation continues to rise\, as new courses are implemented or existing courses expand and add units. This results in departmental scrambling to offer and teach courses\, even in times when enrollment growth is slow or static. Several outcomes are possible\: increased teaching loads\, more use of adjunct faculty\, and increased workloads for already-overburdened support staff.    The trend towards expansion of the undergraduate curriculum has been observed nationally. But state universities whose budgets have been cut to the quick\, such as our own system\, are particularly at risk. We balance on a very thin wire. How can we respond to budget cuts when our curricula continue to expand? How can we understand how curriculum changes might impact students\, faculty\, and staff?  To create a space for exploration and learning about curriculum issues\, we would like to convene an interdisciplinary group of faculty and instructional professionals who are interested in taking a critical look at the undergraduate curricula in their own departments or programs. We will work together to determine what are the best practices in curriculum design within our respective disciplines and how our individual programs measure up.   Expectations for and benefits of participation\:  The curriculum study group will meet bi-weekly throughout the current academic year to discuss curriculum models\, readings\, and to design curriculum study \"research\" projects on our own disciplinary curriculum. Using the model of the Faculty/Professional Learning Community (see http\://www.units.muohio.edu/flc/whatis.php)\, we will each address a curriculum-based question with the goals of determining the \"health\" of our curricula and identifying strategies and frameworks to help us think about coherent curricular decision-making.    This pilot project is supported by the UA Office of Instruction and Assessment. Participants will each receive $500 compensation. The services of the OIA professional staff will be available to help us as we conduct our own research and consider various options for solutions.  How to participate\:  Proposals are now being accepted from faculty and postgraduate teaching professionals (lecturers and those in teaching-intensive appointments) across campus who wish to participate in this professional community. These proposals (three pages\, maximum) should include the following information\:  The applicant's name\, contact information\, and departmental affiliationThe applicant's role in the undergraduate teaching mission of her/his program or major A brief statement of the curricular challenge that the applicant is interested in pursuing. What is the evidence that this issue is\, in fact\, a problem for students\, the department/program\, or the institution as a whole?A brief plan for addressing the challenge\, including clear objectivesA summary of the resources and expertise the applicant hopes to gain from participation in this professional learning communityA plan for disseminating the outcomes of this curricular study project and communicating the results with key stakeholders at the appropriate levels of the university.            The deadline for these proposals will be Oct. 4. Applications should be submitted electronically as Word documents to elfring@email.arizona.edu.Please direct any questions to the same address.

SUMMARY:UA Museum of Art Exhibition\: \"PostSecret\: Confessions on Life\, Death and God\" 
DESCRIPTION:  The University of Arizona Museum of Art is pleased to present \"PostSecret\: Confessions on Life\, Death and God\,\" with more than 270 artfully crafted postcards that unearth a myriad of private thoughts concerning spirituality and religion.   The \"PostSecret\" phenomena began in November 2004\, when Frank Warren handed out 3\,000 postcards to strangers. He invited people to write down a secret anonymously and mail it to him. Each secret had to be true and something that had never been shared with another person. These initial secrets were exhibited later that year. After the first exhibition closed\, word of the project spread.  People began creating their own homemade postcards and the artful secrets started arriving from every continent. Today\, Warren has received more than 450\,000 postcards and they continue to come at a rate of about 1\,000 per week.  Why is \"PostSecret\" so appealing? It is because Warren has tapped into the universal stuff of being human\, the collective\, often unconscious level of existence that defies age\, culture\, gender\, economics and so on. \"Confessions\" brilliantly illustrates that human emotion can be unique and universal at the same time. The secrets are both provocative and profound\, and the cards themselves are works of art.  UAMA will also display a wall of \"Wildcat Confessions\" - Tucson viewers are invited to anonymously contribute their own thoughts to the UAMA exhibition.  Museum hours are Tuesday through Friday\, 9 a.m.-5 p.m. and Saturday and Sunday 12-4 p.m. The museum is closed on Mondays and University holidays.

SUMMARY:\"Nature\" Photographs by Les Longino 
DESCRIPTION:Les Longino has been working with digital photography for nine years\, starting with a simple point and shoot\, and now working with a DSLR camera. His nature photography focuses on formal elements in the image\, such as pattern\, texture and the quality of the light. Often\, the subjects of the images begin to separate into abstract compositions. The intent is not to document a certain natural setting for botanical or geological record-keeping\, but instead to bring out the elements the two-dimensional printed image are made of\: the color of an agave leaf\, the wavy pattern in a geological formation or the interaction of light and shadow across a landscape. This show displays photographs taken around Arizona\, Utah and other parts of the Southwest.

SUMMARY:SISTA Colloquium Series 
DESCRIPTION:Matthew B. Sullivan\, assistant professor in the department of ecology and evolutionary biology at the University of Arizona\, will give a talk titled \"Expanding the Viral Protein Universe Through Highly Contextualized\, Global Ocean Viromics.\"Abstract\:Viruses are the most abundant biological entities on the planet\, and play critical roles in global nutrient cycling\, prokaryote population dynamics and spreading new gene functions through microbial communities. However\, due to technical limitations\, we have likely only scratched the surface of their importance and interactions in wild aquatic systems. Here I will briefly present our novel methods and approaches to studying the global ocean 'virome' as these breakthroughs allow for the first marginally comprehensive look at the whole viral community. I will then delve into a diversity of our lab's emerging informatic stories inspired from the exploration of large-scale sequence datasets at select ocean sites.Light refreshments will be served at 11\:50 a.m. in the atrium area.

SUMMARY:The Shaol Pozez Memorial Lectureship Series 
DESCRIPTION:Zev Garber\, an emeritus professor and chairman of Jewish studies and philosophy at Los Angeles Valley College\, will give a talk titled \"Shoah at the University\: New Considerations in Holocaust Education.\" In American schools of higher education\, the subject of the Holocaust is taught primarily in departments of history and is seen as a factual event\, interpreted in cause-and-effect imperatives. But accounting for the Holocaust does not entirely compute the personal element of the Shoah. To teach the basic lessons of the murder of European Jewry beyond depersonalized academic rational objectivity is to offer a historiosophy. Storytelling\, religious response and feminist theology are focused on in this existential alternative into Shoah education.Garber has authored and edited hundreds of books and articles\, including most recently \"Mel Gibson's Passion\: The Film\, the Controversy\, and its Implications\" and \"The Impact of the Shoah in America and in Jewish American Life.\"

SUMMARY:Migration Research Dialogue\: Katie Sharar
DESCRIPTION: Katie Sharar\, assistant director for the Earlham College Border Studies Program\, will give a talk titled \"Closing the Back Door\: The Impacts of the Postville\, Iowa Raid on Guatemalan Sending Communities\" as part of the fall 2010 Migration Research Dialogues Speaker Series.   Join us for a discussion of the field research conducted during the summer of 2009 examining the effects of the Postville immigration raid\, primarily on Guatemalan sending communities. The research seeks to address the questions of how individuals\, families and communities are coping with the aftermath of the raid\, the threat of multiple years' incarceration upon re-entry to the U.S.\, and what alternatives to emigration exist in rural highlands villages in Guatemala.   Sharar is a 2010 Master of Arts graduate from the University of Arizona Latin American studies program\, where her research focused on the impact of raids and deportations on sending communities. She currently works\, travels\, teaches and learns with the Earlham College Border Studies Program.

SUMMARY:UA Philharmonic Orchestra Concert
DESCRIPTION:The University of Arizona Philharmonic Orchestra\, under the direction of conductors Keitaro Harada and David Dunbar will present a concert featuring works spanning from the classical period of music history\, through the 20th century. \"Symphony No. 41 in C Major\" by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart was composed in 1788 and was the last symphony written by the composer. Also known as the \"Jupiter\" symphony\, the work represents the apex of Mozart's output for the symphony as a genre. The work is known particularly for its final movement\, which is built upon an incredible interweaving of five motivic themes in a marvel of contrapuntal ingenuity that forms a perfect closing chapter to Mozart's symphonic expression. Of the work as a whole\, the renowned English writer Sir George Grove wrote\, \"It is the greatest orchestral work of the world which preceded the French Revolution.\"  \"Dance Rhythms\" by Wallingford Riegger is a delightful work by a composer not well known by the general public today. And although the composer did not begin serious composition until age 35\, his music successfully spans the spectrum of stylistic expression ranging from serial works utilizing the \"tone-row\" technique of Schönberg\, to a group of highly accessible works for modern dance\, which include his \"Dance Rhythms.\" While scored for a full orchestra\, a chamber-like texture dominates for most of the work. The energetic character that permeates the piece reflects Riegger's long working relationship with modern dance pioneers such as Martha Graham\, Doris Humphrey and Hanya Holm.  \"The Bartered Bride\,\" an opera in two acts written by Bedrich Smetana\, was first performed in 1866 in Prague. The UA Philharmonic will perform three wonderful pieces from the opera\, namely\, \"Polka\,\" \"Furiant\" and \"Dance of the Comedians.\" Widely considered the first nationalist composer of Bohemia\, Smetana's music carries a strong Slavic spirit\, and these dances embody his abiding connection to his homeland.  The UA Philharmonic Orchestra is one of the large ensembles vital to the educational and artistic mission of the UA School of Music. In its ranks are music majors and minors\, as well as many students and other members of the UA community. The Philharmonic performs a cross-section of the orchestral repertoire in a number of concerts each year.

SUMMARY:Cognitive Science Colloquium 
DESCRIPTION:Arthur Glenberg\, from the department of psychology and the Laboratory for Embodied Cognition at Arizona State University\, will give a talk titled \"Knowing Beans\: Human Mirror Mechanisms Revealed Through Motor Adaptation.\" Mirror neurons in macaque monkeys are active when the animal takes action and when the animal perceives another perform a similar action. Supposedly\, this motor resonance reflects the use of the animal's own motor system in recognizing the other's action goals and intents. In humans\, mirror mechanisms have been proposed to grease the wheels of social interaction by contributing to action recognition\, language\, empathy and more. Unfortunately\, human fMRI data cannot test these causal claims. Glenberg will describe a new\, cross-modal adaptation paradigm for studying human mirror mechanisms\: Adapt the system using repeated movements and then demonstrate effects of the adaptation on cognitive activity. First\, Glenberg demonstrate the validity of the paradigm using a behavioral dose-response procedure as well as transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS). Then\, he will describe experiments using the paradigm to study contributions of mirror mechanisms to speech perception and to language comprehension.

Ross's all-Bach organ recital will reconstruct the all-Bach program presented on Aug. 6\, 1840 by Felix Mendelssohn-Bartholdy in St. Thomas Church\, Leipzig\, Germany. The program will begin and end as Mendelssohn's did\, with improvisations (in Mendelssohn's style)\, the first serving as an introduction to the great E-flat major Fugue\, and the second a free fantasy on the chorale \"O Sacred Head\, Now Wounded.\" Mendelssohn's recital raised money for the first monument to Bach in Leipzig\, and greatly furthered the revival of Bach's organ music.

SUMMARY:SISTA Colloquium Series 
DESCRIPTION:Vladimir Filkov\, professor in the department of computer science at the University of California at Davis\, will give a talk titled \"From Architecture to Function in Biological Networks.\" Biological networks encode complex molecular systems into convenient structural representations thus enabling their analysis and understanding. The architecture of these networks is often related to observable phenomena\, and to biological function. Studying the connection between biological network architecture and their function is made possible by novel methods enabling correct statistical and combinatorial accounting of topological features in the network systems.Filkov will describe a set of tools and techniques that help us do that\, together with results and insights from our studies. The techniques described come from various scientific disciplines that have had to deal with networked systems for some time\, like social sciences\, statistical mechanics and complex network theory among others. In all cases we have adapted these tools to biological network analysis and either extended or improved upon them.

SUMMARY:Reporting From the Frontline of the Israel-Arab Conflict 
DESCRIPTION:The Arizona Center for Judaic Studies Campus Lecture Series presents Yaakov Katz.Katz is the military correspondent and defense analyst for The Jerusalem Post\, Israel's leading English daily\, and the Israel correspondent for the London-based Jane's Defense Weekly. Katz writes extensively on the Palestinian conflict as well as on the military's stance on Iran's nuclear program and Israel's options in face of what is being described as the greatest existential threat in Israeli history. His popular weekly column \"Security and Defense\" and his frequent appearances on local and foreign news shows provide readers with a behind-the-scenes look at the decision making process in the Israeli defense establishment. \"Reporting From the Frontlines of the Israel-Arab conflict\" is an in-depth look into Israel's current strategic standing in the Middle East in the face of growing challenges and threats. Katz will also review the complexity of reporting on the Israeli-Arab conflict\, an issue mixed with emotion and ideology for both sides.Katz has covered settler affairs for the Post and was chief correspondent during the Gaza Strip disengagement in the summer of 2005. In the summer of 2006\, he covered Israel's war against Hizbullah for The Jerusalem Post and USA Today. He spent January 2009 with the Israel Defense Forces along Israel's border with the Gaza Strip\, leading The Jerusalem Post's coverage of Israel's war against Hamas. He is currently writing a book called \"Israel vs. Iran\,\" scheduled to be published in spring 2011.Originally from Chicago\, Katz moved to Israel 17 years ago and served in the IDF Armored Corps. He has a law degree from Bar Ilan University and lives in Jerusalem.The event is sponsored by the Arizona Center for Judaic Studies\, the UA School of Journalism and the Center for Middle Eastern Studies.

SUMMARY:Applied Mathematics Colloquium\: \"Lagrangian Coherent Structures in Urban Flows\"
DESCRIPTION:Wenbo Tang\, from the School of Mathematical and Statistical Sciences in Arizona State University\, will give a Program in Applied Mathematics Colloquium. In this talk\, Tang will present a recent study of real-time remote-sensing data from Hong Kong International Airport  that shows that Langrangian Coherent Structures are capable of revealing air disturbances that are dangerous to aircraft  operations during take-offs and landings. Accurate extraction of flow-coherent structures is important for studies of transport and mixing processes in urban flows.  Recent research shows that Lagrangian Coherent Structures form the template of fluid stirring and are an objective tool to characterize unstable motion in nonlinear velocity fields. In this talk\, he will discuss how LCS can be used to evaluate urban transport processes. In particular\, he will present a recent study of real-time remote-sensing data from Hong Kong International Airport. Our study shows that LCS is capable of revealing air disturbances that are dangerous to aircraft  operations during take-offs and landings. This allows possible developments of more accurate turbulence indices  based on Lagrangian measures.

SUMMARY:CPR Across America 
DESCRIPTION:University of Arizona College of Medicine students who are members of the Resuscitation Education Group want you to learn chest-compression-only CPR. Their goal is to train at least 100 people at each of six sites throughout Tucson in one day.   The large-scale training effort was inspired by Kate Jaramillo of Glendale\, who is advocating \"CPR-Across-America\" training events in communities throughout the United States and contributing training mannequins at each site for the cause.   Chest-compression-only CPR was developed by members of the UA Sarver Heart Center Resuscitation Research Group after decades of research that proved this to be a superior resuscitation method in the event of sudden cardiac arrest. \"This method doubles the chance of survival in the case of witnessed cardiac arrest. This means that you see or hear someone collapse-someone who was fine just a moment earlier. If they are unresponsive\, call 911 and begin chest-compression-only CPR\,\" says Dr. Gordon A. Ewy\, professor of medicine in the section of cardiology and director of the UA Sarver Heart Center.   Training sites include\:Foothills Mall (near Barnes & Noble)\, 7401 N.

SUMMARY:Arizona Choir\, Symphonic Choir and Arizona Symphony Orchestra Present Rossini's \"Stabat Mater\"
DESCRIPTION:Rossini's famous \"Stabat Mater\" has a gestation story that includes as much intrigue and controversy as many of his opera librettos. Commissioned in 1831 by the Spanish priest Manual Varela\, Rossini only initially composed six of the 10 movements\, leaving the other four to his pupil\, Giovanni Tadolini. Part of Varla's commission insisted that the work never be published\, thus Rossini would not be exposed for not completing the work himself.  Following Varela's death in 1841\, the Parisian publisher\, Aulagnier\, wrote to Rossini and asked for \"permission\" to publish the work and thus Rossini was \"prompted\" to complete the work in the form that we have it today. Filled with operatic vocal fireworks and choral master touches\, Rossini's \"Stabat Mater\" is in many respects his \"best opera\,\" giving new life to the enigmatic textual sequence for the Feast of the Seven Sorrows.  The performance will take place in the beautifully restored St. Augustine Cathedral and is part of the 300th anniversary celebration of Father Kino. Soloists include Jennaya Robison\, soprano\, Robyn Rocklein\, mezzo-soprano\, Jared Rogers\, tenor\, and Seth Kershiznick\, bass.  The Arizona Choir and Symphonic Choir will combine forces creating a chorus of more than 80 voices teamed with the UA Symphony Orchestra\, all under the baton of Bruce Chamberlain\, director of choral activities at the University of Arizona.

SUMMARY:SISTA Colloquium Series 
DESCRIPTION:Michael Sanderson\, professor in the department of ecology and evolutionary biology at the University of Arizona\, will give a talk titled \"Computational Challenges in Building the Evolutionary Tree of Life.\"Abstract\: Inferring the evolutionary relationships of the 1.8 million described biological species is a central challenge of modern biology. Although there is no shortage of data to apply to the task (hundreds of millions of DNA sequences sampled across at least 10 percent of these species)\, the computational\, mathematical and engineering obstacles are daunting. In this talk I will briefly discuss the \"canonical\" problems in this field\: multiple sequence alignment and tree reconstruction\, but delve more deeply into emerging problems that are upstream and downstream of these. Upstream problems include data mining and data set assembly issues\; downstream problems include assembling small trees into larger ones\, reconciling conflicting trees with each other and accounting for biologically confounding processes that perturb the standard paradigm of tree-like evolutionary inference. Because exact solutions are largely unknowable for most of these problems when the problem size exceeds a few dozen species\, I conclude with some discussion of the prospects for statistically strong inference at the scale of the entire tree of life.

LOCATION:The Loft Cinema\, 3233 E. Speedway Blvd.
SUMMARY:Special Presentation of the film \"Ghost Bird\" 
DESCRIPTION:The Tucson Audubon Society\, the University of Arizona's Institute of the Environment\, and The Loft Cinema are presenting \"Ghost Bird\,\" a critically-acclaimed documentary about an extinct species\, a fading town in Arkansas and the quest by birdwatchers and scientists to spot the Holy Grail of birds\, the ivory-billed woodpecker.   The ivory-bill\, a species thought to be extinct for more than 60 years\, grabbed headlines in 2005 when scientists announced that it had been found in the swamps of eastern Arkansas. The news prompted a recovery effort of historic proportions\: The government poured millions of dollars into finding the bird while ornithologists and birdwatchers flocked to the swamps - and to a down-and-out nearby town - to glimpse and study it. Yet five years later\, credible evidence that the lost species is in fact alive and well is lacking\, and the phantom-like reputation of the world's third-largest woodpecker endures.  In telling the tale of the ivory-bill\, \"Ghost Bird\" also raises questions about endangered species\, habitat destruction and preservation\, extinction\, and the limits of scientific truths that reach far beyond Arkansas swamps\, extending easily to southern Arizona.  Local experts will address these issues during a Q&A immediately following the film. Panelists include Sherry Barrett\, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service\; Carolyn Campbell\, Coalition for Sonoran Desert Protection\; Paul Green\, Tucson Audubon Society\; and Rafe Sagarin\, UA's Institute of the Environment.  The film is directed and produced by Scott Crocker\, a feature and documentary film director and producer whose award-winning films have screened at the Museum of Modern Art in New York\, the De Young Museum in San Francisco\, and at film festivals and exhibitions nationally and internationally.   Tickets are on sale at The Loft box office or by calling 520-795-0844.

SUMMARY:Presentation on \"The Hidden Story of Metropolis\: Tophets\, Hermann Muthesius and Max Reinhardt\"
DESCRIPTION:The University of Arizona Museum of Art presents a spectrum of opportunities to explore the city of the '20s and '30s. Was it a haven\, a symbol of pride\, invention and progress or a harbinger of dehumanization? Artists were not in agreement - as is evident from the art in the exhibition\, \"Metropolis\: The City in the 1920s and 1930s.\" As a counterpoint to the two-dimensional artworks and photographs\, UAMA continuously screens the classic silent art film \"Metropolis\,\" Fritz Lang's iconic 1927 German film presenting the city as a beautiful and frightening dystopia. This 90-minute experience follows the 1927 film version edited by playwright Channing Pollock for American audiences. (The original German version was considered too controversial - and too long for American consumption.) Even if you have never seen the film \"Metropolis\" you may recognize some of its widespread cultural influence\, including the \"Star Wars\" droid C-3PO. based on the film's robot\, \"Blade Runner's\" Tyrell Building\, based on the film's \"New Tower of Babel\,\" and the film's footage in Queen's video for the song \"Radio Ga Ga.\" Don't miss this opportunity to see the source of these iconic symbols. In conjunction with the exhibition and film\, UAMA presents David Soren\, who has taught \"Metropolis\" for many years at the University of Arizona. Soren will give a presentation on the film titled \"The Hidden Story of Metropolis\:Tophets\, Hermann Muthesius and Max Reinhardt.\"

SUMMARY:Cognitive Science Colloquium
DESCRIPTION:Simona Ghetti\, an associate professor in the department of psychology and the Center for Mind and Brain at the University of California\, will give a talk titled \"The Development of Episodic Memory during Childhood.\"  Abstract\:Episodic memory\, or the ability to remember specific episodes about one's past\, develops substantially during the course of childhood. To remember an episode\, children ought to be able to form\, store and retrieve memory representations that integrate the multiple features of the event itself and the spatio-temporal context in which the event occurred. In addition\, children ought to be able to introspect on the content of their memories and rely on strategic processes to facilitate memory formation and retrieval. The neurocognitive processes underlying these capacities develop during childhood\, but their exact trajectory and the way in which they interact with one another during development are not clear. I will present studies of typical and atypical development in which we employed behavioral and neuroimaging methods. Based on the central findings from our work and that of others\, I will attempt to draw initial conclusions about the development of the key components of episodic memory.

SUMMARY:International Researchers Announce New Primate Field School
DESCRIPTION:Internationally respected gorilla researchers Dieter and Netzin Steklis will present their latest findings on how studying gorillas and other primates expands our understanding of the human family during the University of Arizona's Homecoming celebration. During the presentation\, they will provide details about a new primate field school in Rwanda\, Africa\, offered through the UA's Norton School of Family and Consumer Sciences\, the Frances McClelland Institute for Children\, Youth and Families and the Study Abroad Office.  At \"The Nature of Families\: What Primates Can Teach Us About Fatherhood\,\" the husband and wife research team will detail their lifetime of work following great ape and monkey families to learn about primate parenting as a way to gain greater understanding of human father-child and other family relationships. The first Primate Family Systems Field School study abroad  program will be held next summer and offer students a four-week interdisciplinary field study to observe primate family systems\, using evolutionary biology\, psychology\, anthropology and human development as analytical tools. Much of the research will be based in Rwanda's diverse national parks\, where the gorilla families\, golden monkeys\, chimpanzees\, black and white colobus and guenon monkeys travel through an African-alpine jungle and savanna habitat. The students' field study includes camping in Rwanda's savanna countryside to observe troops of baboons and vervet monkeys snd climbing the slopes of extinct volcanoes to follow groups of gorillas.

DESCRIPTION:Katerina Dontsova\, an assistant research professor at the University of Arizona\, will give a talk titled \"How Can Plants Eat Rock?\" Plants get carbon to build their bodies from air\, but they need other nutrients to come from the soil.

SUMMARY:SISTA Colloquium Series
DESCRIPTION:Nirav Merchant\, director for the Information Technology-Arizona Research Labs at the University of Arizona\, will give a talk titled \"Is There An App For That?\: A Quest in Bio-information.\"Enabling translational and transformational discoveries in the life sciences are a high priority across funding agencies. Initiatives such as the NIH \"bench to bedside\" effort are attempting to accelerate the discovery lifecycle by reengineering the research infrastructure\, with a singular goal of facilitating the rapid transformation of basic research in the laboratories into applied clinical interventions.The success of these accelerated initiatives across all funding agencies is greatly dependent on how innovations from CISE (Computer Information Science and Engineering) and allied disciplines are adopted and integrated into the discovery lifecycle. Interdisciplinary research undoubtedly is the engine that powers these innovations\, the ability to transform essential research grade resources from multiple disciplines into production grade solutions for application in the life sciences pose significant challenges.Merchant will discuss typical challenges encountered while architecting and implementing infrastructure for life science research projects\; highlighting the growing and urgent need for \"computational thinking\" and \"biological thinking\" aware and trained professionals across disciplines.In his talk he will also discuss recent experiences from two projects\: USDA funded Stealth Health project\, which involves mobile devices\, geospatial data integration with social media  The cyberinfrastructure oriented NSF funded iPlant Collaborative project.

SUMMARY:\"Writing on the Edge\: Borderlands Reading\" Lecture 
DESCRIPTION:Special Collections' fall exhibit \"Stories & Music of the Revolution\: A Commemorative Exhibit on the Centennial of Mexico's Revolution\" celebrates the 200th anniversary of Mexico's independence and the 100th anniversary of the Mexican Revolution. In the third lecture of the fall series\, Tom Miller\, research associate in the UA Center for Latin American Studies and a Tucson author\, will share readings from the borderlands -  the \"Third Country\" sandwiched between the United States and Mexico. The borderlands has a well defined and vital literature\, one that reflects history (the Mexican Revolution)\, population patterns (immigration)\, and crime (smuggling). On the surface it seems depressing and unrelenting\, but a thoughtful exploration of the accumulated material shows literary vitality and wide ranging variety. This program was made possible by the Arizona Humanities Council. The exhibit and lecture series are sponsored by the Friends of the University Libraries and the Consulate of Mexico in Tucson.Free and open to the public. Light refreshments will be served. Parking information available here.

SUMMARY:Bhagavad-Gita Discussion Series
DESCRIPTION:    \"Bhagavad-gita\,\" the most well-known spiritual classic of India\, has been adored by thinkers like Thoreau\, Emerson\, Schopenhauer and Gandhi. Although centuries old\, its truths are universal and applicable to the present day. In four weekly seminars we will explore different topics in light of the knowledge given in the \"Bhagavad-gita.\" And if you're unable to attend the full series\, you can profit by attending even one.  The first talk will be titled \"My God Can Beat Up Your God - Understanding Religious Conflict.\" The truth that we are all children of the supreme lord is found in many religious traditions and this should make us one happy family. However\, instead of seeing principles that unite\, we see differences that alienate and this can result in innocent people being killed in the name of religion. How can we get beyond this problem?

SUMMARY:LPL Evening Lecture Series
DESCRIPTION:Colin Dundas will speak about \"Mars on Ice\: Dynamic Processes on the Cold Martian Surface.\"The High Resolution Imaging Science Experiment (HiRISE) camera has provided a flood of data showing the surface of Mars in unprecedented detail. Despite being cold and dry\, Mars is a dynamic world that continues to evolve. With HiRISE\, we have been able not only to observe fine details of the surface but also to see it change\: New deposits appear in gullies\, boulders move down slopes\, and new impact craters dig into the ground and excavate ice. From these changes we can learn about both seasonal events and the slower processes that shape the underground ice. Dundas will discuss results from the HiRISE camera and our present knowledge of the Martian surface\, focusing these recent changes and their implications. Dundas is a postdoctoral research associate at the University of Arizona. He earned his doctorate at the Lunar and Planetary Laboratory in 2009\, working with professor Alfred McEwen. His research focuses on surface processes on Mars\, primarily using data from the HiRISE camera\; topics of interest include impact cratering\, seasonal activity and Martian ground ice. His recent projects include investigation of new craters that have excavated subsurface ice and studies of recent\, ongoing activity in Martian gullies.

SUMMARY:Cognitive Science Colloquium 
DESCRIPTION:Alison Preston\, an assistant professor in the department of psychology and section of neurobiology from the University of Texas at Austin\, will give a talk titled \"The Neural Basis of Flexible Memory\: How Remembering the Past Shapes New Learning.\" When we reflect on our past\, we often do so to better understand current experiences. By recalling past events in the face of novel situations\, we can create connections between new experiences and past memories that form the basis of new memories that extend knowledge beyond what we gather from a single event. The flexibility to combine experiences in novel ways to infer new relationships between events is essential to behavior in an ever-changing environment\; yet\, the brain mechanisms that support the flexible use of memory are not well understood.  In this talk\, I will discuss out recent neuroimaging work characterizing the neural systems and computations that support the formation of flexible memories that combine information across multiple learning events. Collectively\, our findings provide an important empirical foundation for understanding how our memory for the past influences thought\, decision\, and action in the present.
