Workers confronted with persistent unemployment face a number of challenges\, including the threat of skills atrophy and becoming less attractive to prospective employers. Moreover\, the dichotomy between workers continues to expand\, as those with high levels of education and skills can command high wages\, and those with little education and low skill levels can command only low wages in the service industry. Workforce development efforts are responding to these challenges with different approaches\, many with an emphasis on business and industry sector-based approaches. This session will explore the employment and skill-building challenges and opportunities in different communities around the state and describe successful efforts to increase employment and satisfy the demand of local businesses.\n\nPresented by the National Poverty Center at the Gerald R.

Yet research shows that 80 percent of future jobs will require literacy and skills in these areas. To meet future workforce needs and maintain our global competitiveness\, we must improve science\, technology\, engineering\, and math (STEM) skills among students and increase access to STEM careers particularly among underrepresented populations. Afterschool programs have begun to play a significant role in developing new informal science education approaches for students across the country. This panel will explore future workforce demands in STEM fields\, provide statewide examples of how STEM afterschool initiatives are developing college and career-ready students\, and discuss the importance of informal science education initiatives for student success.\n\nPresented by the National Poverty Center at the Gerald R.

The University of Michigan was one of the founding members of OTS\, taking a leadership role in developing research and educational opportunities in the tropics in the 1950s and 1960s. In this seminar\, Losos will also briefly discuss roles played by OTS and the University of Michigan in the development of discipline of tropical biology. Dr. Losos will then present data from multi-decadal ecological studies of trees\, lizards\, frogs\, and birds at OTS’ La Selva Biological Station\, Costa Rica. Findings from these long-term studies reveal dramatic and surprising directional changes are underway in this well-studied\, old-growth neotropical forest. The causes of such changes are still poorly understood\, but it is clear that they are multiple and interacting\, including land-use change\, climate change\, predator release\, and pesticide use. She will then briefly compare findings from La Selva with those from three other Neotropical biological stations in Panama\, Brazil\, and Peru.

Few would suspect that this late Victorian showpiece was first commissioned by black musicians\, financed by global capital\, and conceived as a political statement. Nor would one imagine that the home’s original owner\, Frederick J. Loudin\, was among the world’s most famous men\, a figure who once sang for Queen Victoria\, dined with Kaiser Wilhelm\, performed at the Taj Mahal. Following his story backward\, this talk will explore the geopolitics of black celebrity\, 1770-1920. On the one hand\, it will seek to recover the Loudins’ world: global black celebrities many years before the Jazz Age. But it will also develop a broader historical argument about the significance of their circulation. What if the Loudins’ remarkable story were part of a much older black pattern\, one that began not with ragtime and records\, but at the very dawn of emancipation? What if there were dozens of lost Otiras scattered around the world?

However\, these studies do not consider the operations of the power grid and how changes to the operations of individual power plants will affect the system. In this study\, simplified economic dispatch models (representing existing power plants in a given region) and historical load data are used to determine how natural gas and coal utilization will change short-term in response to changes in natural gas prices and the retirement of coal power plants. The associated changes in fuel mix\, life cycle GHG emissions\, and sulfur and nitrogen oxides are reported. Results indicate that the change in air emissions are lower than suggested by life cycle assessment studies. In addition\, while net reductions of SO2 and NOx occur in the systems analyzed\, some counties will likely see increases in the damage costs associated with these emissions. This study shows that traditional life cycle studies overestimate the benefits of fuel switching and that incorporating the operations of energy systems is needed to properly capture these benefits.

The rejected finale of Beethoven’s op. 30/1\, reborn as the finale to op. 47\, not only bears the imprint of its original surroundings but also shaped the composition of the first two movements of op. 47. The finale is\, so to speak\, the transmitter of structural “DNA” from a sonata at the threshold of Beethoven’s “heroic” style to a sonata exemplifying that style. Much was at stake in Beethoven’s endeavor\, for his current symphonic project was the Eroica\, for which the finale was essentially in place in the form of the Variations op. 35.
