SUMMARY:Exhibition:Gifts of Art presents Paperweights & Studio Glass
DESCRIPTION:The American studio glass movement started in 1962 with glass workshops held at the Toledo Museum of Art. The workshops\, taught by Harvey Littleton along with scientist Dominick Labino\, introduced a small furnace built for working glass that made it possible for artists to work in independent studios. The studio glass movement quickly spread north to Michigan\, and in 1982\, a decision was made that studio glass would be the focus of the University of Michigan-Dearborn permanent art collection\, which is housed at the Alfred Berkowitz Gallery. This exhibition is a portion of that collection\, spotlighting studio glass art by major artists working in the medium\, including Dominick Labino\, Marvin Lipofsky and Richard Ritter.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Gifts of Art presents Reconstructed Landscapes: Collage
DESCRIPTION:Ann Arbor artist Cheryl Dawdy received her BA from U-M and then dabbled in different media (printmaking\, weaving\, natural dyes) until discovering collage. She adores it for its spontaneity and perfect expression of her \"make it up as you go along\" approach to life.  Expectation invites disappointment\, she contends\, but an open mind offers unlimited potential. With that attitude\, she works with old postcards\, paper scraps\, and pieces of old wallpaper washed with acrylic paint\, creating landscape images some have described as \"wonderful little worlds you want to climb into\" and \"the stuff of dreams.\" Dawdy is also a singer for the Ann Arbor based musical performance group the Chenille Sisters.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Gifts of Art presents Songs of the Birds: Airbrushed Acrylics
DESCRIPTION:Mixing science and art\, local artist Carol Hanna interprets the songs of birds using visual language that represents the color of the birds and the notes of their songs. The various stripe combinations of vibrating color in each painting represent each individual bird's measure of time or rhythm\, the pitch or frequency of its vibrations per second\, and the softness or loudness of its call. Hanna works with the U-M Biology Department to match each bird's exact color. Hanna has exhibited both locally and nationally\, and her works are in permanent collections at the Cornell Lab of Ornithology and the C. S. Mott Children's and Women's Hospital. She received both a BFA and an MA from Eastern Michigan University.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:CCS Noon Lecture \"Successful Aging in Transitional China: Accomplishment and Challenges\"
DESCRIPTION:Successful aging is a very relevant topic for China\, given that it has the largest elderly population in the world and one of the fastest rates of population aging in human history. In this talk\, Professor Li will address three questions. First\, has there been more success in successful aging since China began the economic reform in the late 1970s? Second\, who among those living in contemporary China are more and less likely to age successfully and why? Third\, how would the trend of successful aging in China be affected by rapid industrialization and urbanization? She will review the literature\, especially empirical studies\, to draw answers to the questions. Challenges to realizing successful aging in China will be discussed.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Ecologist Steward Pickett Delivers JJR Lecture Sept. 24
DESCRIPTION:Steward Pickett\, an expert in the ecology of plants\, landscapes\, and urban systems\, delivers the 2013 JJR Lecture as part of the School of Natural Resources & Environment's Dean's Speaker Series. The talk is titled \"Changing Urban Realities and the Evolution of Urban Ecological Science.\"\n\nAbstract: Although much is made of the proportion of humanity that now lives in cities as a justification for urban ecological research\, the changing nature of urbanization itself presents new opportunities for understanding human ecosystems.  This presentation will present a new framework for urban systems in the global context\, emphasizing global teleconnections\, and contrasts in livelihood\, lifestyle\, and the local nature of specific urban ecosystems.  Urban transformations in this complex context will be illustrated by trends in Baltimore\, Maryland\, and example data on the watershed function will be presented.  The desire of jurisdictions in the metropolitan Baltimore region to become more sustainable drives new research efforts focusing on urban metacommunity structure\, urban streams as an extension of the river continuum concept\, and new approaches to locational choice of households.  The Baltimore case is put in the context of other global urban transformations as a way to advance urban ecological theory.\n\nBiography: Steward Pickett\, a Distinguished Senior Scientist at the Cary Institute of Ecosystem Studies\, in Millbrook\, New York\, is an expert in the ecology of plants\, landscapes\, and urban systems.  He was awarded the PhD by the University of Illinois in 1977. He directs the Baltimore Ecosystem Study\, Long-Term Ecological Research program\, and co-directs the Urban Sustainability Research Coordination Network.  His research focuses on the ecological structure of urban areas and the temporal dynamics of vegetation\, which has taken him to the primary forests of western Pennsylvania\, the post-agricultural oldfields of New Jersey\, and the riparian woodlands and savannas of Kruger National Park\, South Africa.  He has edited or written books on ecological heterogeneity\, humans as components of ecosystems\, conservation\, the linkage of ecology and urban design\, the philosophy of ecology\, and ecological ethics.  He has served as President of the Ecological Society of America\, as well has having been that organization’s inaugural Vice President for Science.

SUMMARY:Other:Viewing Night at the Detroit Observatory	
DESCRIPTION:Weather permitting\, this is your chance to look through the 1857 Fitz refractor.\nPlease note it is a 19th century building\, so things move at a 19th century pace. You must be able to climb stairs to get to the telescope. \nCriteria for opening the dome:\n It must be between 40 º and 90 º F\, less than 80% humidity\, and less than 10% chance of rain. We prefer less than 50% cloud cover\, though that depends on the clouds (thin vs. thick) and what's out.\n
