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.

Born in 1923\, Metcalf is a native of Ohio. He began his education at the University of Michigan in 1941 but his studies were halted during World War II. After serving in Europe\, Metcalf returned to Ann Arbor and finished his degree in 1950. Upon graduation\, he worked as an apprentice to George B. Brigham and began teaching Architecture at the University of Michigan. Metcalf began his own practice in 1953 and completed over 120 projects Ann Arbor and the Detroit Metro area. \nThis exhibition presents 13 domestic projects that span his six-decade-long career from 1953-2008\, highlighting his straightforward design aesthetic\, featuring many of his iconic flat-roofed houses. Each project selected exemplifies Metcalf’s mid-century modern architectural vocabulary that results in functional\, minimalist spaces for living.\n\nThis exhibition presents 13 domestic projects that span his six-decade-long career from 1953-2008\, highlighting his straightforward design aesthetic\, featuring many of his iconic flat-roofed houses.

Results indicate that official poverty rates based on single-mother households overstate the economic disadvantage of single mothers by 10-20 per cent by excluding those who are coresiding with parents. We also find that the rise in single parenthood accounts for most of the difference in poverty among mothers between 1986 and 2007 and that shared income is the most important factor in limiting poverty among single mothers living with parents.\n\nBio\n\nJim Raymo is Professor of Sociology at the University of Wisconsin-Madison where he is also director of the Center for Demography and Ecology.

Her style of music arose out of her spiritual experience while growing up under a great Yogi (Seer)\, Swami Nana-ji. Since her infancy\, she was lucky to listen to and participate with the devotional music sessions that her Seer held every day. In this context\, it is her belief that she closely intermingled with divinely and highly elevated souls and was blessed by them with a mystic voice to cure numerous ailments through her music. Nadhamuni Gayatri Bharat is a vocalist\, Lakshminarasimhan plays harmonium and Dan Piccolo plays tabla.

This perceived tension between design and research is indicative of age-old anxieties within the architecture field to understand its nature as an \"applied art.\" Design can be a purely creative activity not unlike creative practices in music and art. In other cases\, design can be a purely problem solving activity\, not unlike research in engineering and industrial production.\n\nIn its fifth year\, University of Michigan Taubman College's Research Through Making (RTM) Program provides seed funding for faculty research\, worked on by faculty\, students and interdisciplinary experts.

The Miller Converse Lecture is sponsored by the Center for Political Studies\, Institute for Social Research UID:16902-1199588@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/16902 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:political science LOCATION:Institute For Social Research - 6050 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20140114T125701 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20140410T160000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20140410T170000 SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Distinguished University Professorship Lecture - Carol Fierke DESCRIPTION:Although DNA sequences encode proteins with unique folded structures\, the number of genes in an organism does not solely determine the biological complexity. Covalent post-translational modifications modulate the activity of cellular proteins and expand the amino acid code from 20 amino acids to several hundred different building blocks. Each modification uniquely alters protein function\, such as targeting to the lipid membrane (prenylation\, palmitoylation) or regulation of protein structure or function (acetylation\, methylation\, phosphorylation). This vast array of modifications means that understanding the function and regulation of a protein in a cell includes identification of post-translation processing steps. Numerous human diseases have been linked to post-translational modifications\, and inhibitors of enzymes that catalyze these modifications are attractive targets for developing new drugs to treat an array of diseases. \n\nThe Fierke lab investigates the specificity and biological function of two medically important classes of post-translational modifications\, lipidation and acetylation and the enzymes that catalyze these reactions: protein farnesyltransferase (FTase)\, protein geranylgeranyltransferase type I (GGTase-I)\, and histone deacetylases (HDACs). Enzymes that catalyze post-translational modifications face similar molecular recognition challenges\; they must recognize and efficiently modify a range of protein substrates in the midst of a larger number of non-substrate proteins\, making identification of the in vivo substrates an important and difficult task. For both the prenyltransferases and HDAC8 we have examined the substrate selectivity and have developed rules for molecular recognition\, including computational algorithms. Based on these data we have proposed that several hundred proteins are prenylated and validated these as substrates by in vivo analysis. Similarly\, for HDAC8 we have identified highly reactive peptide substrates using both computational and biological approaches as well as demonstrating increased reactivity with protein substrates. Furthermore\, we have analyzed regulation of the activity and specificity of HDAC8 by phosphorylation and Zn/Fe metal switching. These data provide insight into the biological substrates and function of HDAC8. \n UID:16046-1196959@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/16046 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:dup,lecture LOCATION:Alumni Center - Founders Room CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20140304T160855 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20140410T160000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20140410T170000 SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:EEB Thursday Seminar Series DESCRIPTION:Over 30 years ago\, it was learned that the so-called microbial loop in marine planktonic ecosystems is responsible for processing about half of the primary productivity. Since then\, a series of discoveries have shown with increasing detail the processes that make up this loop and the organisms involved. Viruses went from being completely unknown and ignored to now known as the most abundant biological entities\, with many ecological\, biogeochemical\, and evolutionary impacts. Results from cloning and sequencing 16S rRNA yielded the totally unexpected result that mesophilic archaea\, previously unknown\, are remarkably abundant in seawater\, with metagenomics and then cultivation showing many are ammonia-oxidizing chemoautotrophs. Patterns in the distribution of microbes is now studied by high-throughput molecular methods. At our 13-year San Pedro Ocean Time Series\, we have found repeating seasonal patterns in community composition near the sea surface\, though much less in water slightly deeper at the chlorophyll-maximum depth. We developed tools to show Microbial Association Networks\, and these are showing many potential interactions among bacteria\, archaea\, protists\, and viruses\, with interesting patterns like contrasting network connectivity in bacteria-protist vs bacteria-virus networks.

The unique history of the U.S. has meant that the U.S. political discussion has historically been unconcerned with income inequality\; however\, rising inequality during the past three decades is attracting increased attention and concern. Growing economic inequality is also closely correlated with rising inequality in a variety of other social domains. This includes evidence of growing differences by economic status in education\, housing\, health\, and marital/fertility choices. Many of the major causes of this rising inequality are not easily addressed in any direct way. In fact\, some of these causes have produced other substantial benefits. Within the political economy of the U.S.\, there are only a limited number of areas where inequality can be addressed in ways that might garner widespread support\, including efforts aimed at greater opportunity for low-income families in education\, health care\, and (perhaps) political participation. Other approaches\, particularly those focused on changes in taxation or in job opportunities\, are less politically feasible.\n\nAbout the event:\n\nRebecca Blank will deliver the Citi Foundation Policy Talks @ the Ford School keynote of the two-day Poverty\, Policy\, and People: 25 Years of Research and Training at the University of Michigan.\n\nThe Gerald R. Ford School of Public Policy will host this conference as one of the highlights of the school's year-long centennial celebrations. The conference is organized by Maria Cancian external link and Mary Pattillo external link\, will celebrate and explore the contributions to scholarship and professional development of the University of Michigan's Research and Training Program on Poverty and Public Policy\, directed for a quarter of a century by Professor Sheldon Danziger.

The two different archives of arguments and episodes that emerged from this early seventeenth-century debate offered distinct models of regional exemplarity\, scriptural exegesis\, and textual production. In this way\, the apparently chauvinistic struggle over how to eliminate Islam from the Crowns of Castile and Aragon became an engine of scholarly innovation.

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.

With understanding of basic linear regression concepts as a prerequisite\, the instructors will cover a wide range of topics including clustered data\, longitudinal studies\, and clustered longitudinal data. Participants will be introduced to the use of HLM 7.0 software. The workshop will consist of lively lectures and hands-on examples using HLM software.Many studies in social sciences (e.g.\, education\, human development\, public health\, sociology) are multilevel\, longitudinal\, or both. Multilevel data arise when participants are clustered within social settings. The variation and covariation within and between such settings are often of interest substantively and should not be ignored when assessing relationships between explanatory variables and outcomes. In longitudinal research\, we repeatedly observe subjects. These repeated measures for each participant will be correlated and explanatory variables may be time-varying or time-invariant. This workshop will consider the issues of analysis that arise in multilevel and longitudinal research settings.\n\nWe will first consider two-level cross-sectional studies in which persons (level-1) are nested within groups (level-2). The level-1 model specifies a process within each group\, and the level-2 model explains how these processes are different between groups. Next\, we will discuss two-level studies of individual growth and compare the structures of these studies to multilevel studies. We will also consider three-level models. We will focus on the case in which repeated measures (level-1) are nested within persons (level-2) who are themselves nested in organizations (level-3).\n\nAll of these studies will involve nearly continuous outcomes for which the normality distribution is at least plausible. They will also feature purely nested designs (e.g.\, persons nested within organizations). The workshop will provide participants with an overview of other types of applications where hierarchical linear models or generalized hierarchical linear models are appropriate (e.g.\, binary outcomes)\, and briefly discuss how the HLM software could be used to model such data.

Born in 1923\, Metcalf is a native of Ohio. He began his education at the University of Michigan in 1941 but his studies were halted during World War II. After serving in Europe\, Metcalf returned to Ann Arbor and finished his degree in 1950. Upon graduation\, he worked as an apprentice to George B. Brigham and began teaching Architecture at the University of Michigan. Metcalf began his own practice in 1953 and completed over 120 projects Ann Arbor and the Detroit Metro area. \nThis exhibition presents 13 domestic projects that span his six-decade-long career from 1953-2008\, highlighting his straightforward design aesthetic\, featuring many of his iconic flat-roofed houses. Each project selected exemplifies Metcalf’s mid-century modern architectural vocabulary that results in functional\, minimalist spaces for living.\n\nThis exhibition presents 13 domestic projects that span his six-decade-long career from 1953-2008\, highlighting his straightforward design aesthetic\, featuring many of his iconic flat-roofed houses.

Rather than adopting the format of a formal lecture\, Chong will attempt to produce this talk as a curatorial proposal for an imaginary exhibition dealing with these ideas. \n\nHeman Chong is an artist\, curator and writer based in Singapore. His conceptually-charged investigations into how individuals and communities imagine the future generates a multiplicity of objects\, images\, installations\, situations and texts. In this Plot & Lines\, Chong will speak about the combination of text and image in the work of artists living and working in cities located in South-east Asia as a method where preconceived ideas about place-making and community are challenged.\n\nThis event is co-sponsored by the Dept. of Art History and the Office of the Vice Provost for Academic Affairs.

I will try to draw a narrative of my art practice. My art practice has been primarily read through the morbid and humorous representation of human and non-human\, organic and inorganic bodies.\n\nIt will be an insight into my works through my words. Through this talk I want to evade all the stereotypes that have come to be associated with me\; for I feel that change is essential and indispensable in making a body of art wholesome.\n\nI would like to look at ”˜feminism’ through the narrative of my work\, which is not central to one specific gender\, rather takes a more humane approach to appreciate life\, emotions and feelings and not only through the lens of acute eroticism and sexuality in my art practice.\n\nFurther I would like to explore the idea of language as it has evolved in my language over the years. Coming from a Bengali background and struggling with a more socially accepted “metropolitan” language like English I have come to use the unconscious and non-structured aspect of our consciousness in order to deal with this marginality. For me marginality is not only socio-political and cultural. It is also of our inner voices and emotions that we have come to ignore or forget under cultural pressure. This marginality resides in our body and our body resides on those margins.\n\nIn a way\, the narrative strewn through this talk will reflect the merging/fading of physical body into an abstract ”˜nothingness’ in my works: a nothingness which is intangible but with a presence of its own.\n\nFor more details.\n\nApril 11\, 4:00 PM\, Room 1636 School of Social Work Building\n\nThis program is organized by the Center for South Asian Studies with support from the U-M LSA Theme Semester and co-sponsored by the University of Michigan Museum of Art\, the Penny W.

Its 333 songs composed in the Nahuatl language sought to promote the formation of Catholic communities among the Mexica (commonly known as the \"Aztecs\"). This lecture highlights the legacy of Western plainchant traditions in the Christian evangelization of the New World and shows how Mexica sacred music traditions were folded into the European thrust of the Christian mission in sixteenth-century New Spain.

Born in 1923\, Metcalf is a native of Ohio. He began his education at the University of Michigan in 1941 but his studies were halted during World War II. After serving in Europe\, Metcalf returned to Ann Arbor and finished his degree in 1950. Upon graduation\, he worked as an apprentice to George B. Brigham and began teaching Architecture at the University of Michigan. Metcalf began his own practice in 1953 and completed over 120 projects Ann Arbor and the Detroit Metro area. \nThis exhibition presents 13 domestic projects that span his six-decade-long career from 1953-2008\, highlighting his straightforward design aesthetic\, featuring many of his iconic flat-roofed houses. Each project selected exemplifies Metcalf’s mid-century modern architectural vocabulary that results in functional\, minimalist spaces for living.\n\nThis exhibition presents 13 domestic projects that span his six-decade-long career from 1953-2008\, highlighting his straightforward design aesthetic\, featuring many of his iconic flat-roofed houses.

Part 1 of the series presented the work of David Osler (December 21\, 2013–March 30\, 2013). The series will culminate in Fall 2014 with a symposium\, as well as the publication of Three Michigan Architects: Osler\, Metcalf\, and Brigham–both of which will explore the importance of this circle of Ann Arbor-based architects\, situating their regional body of domestic work into the larger context of modern architecture in the U.S. that developed on the East Coast and West Coast from the 1930s–1980s.\n UID:16957-1199989@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/16957 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:exhibit,umma LOCATION:Museum of Art CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20140328T084554 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20140412T120000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20140412T170000 SUMMARY:Performance:Vanguards | Reflekt10ns DESCRIPTION:VANGUARDS is an annual event produced by FIGHTING OBSTACLES KNOWING ULTIMATE SUCCESS (FOKUS). Modeled with respect to a classic block party\, Vanguards is FOKUS’s flagship event\, showcasing and introducing the FOKUS vision of inclusivity\, fun\, creativity\, and collaborative learning to a wide array of students\, professors\, staff\, and Ann Arbor community.\n\nFor the past ten years\, Vanguards has taken place on a Saturday in April\, drawing over 500 people together from every walk of life in a day-long celebration. The individuals who attend or stumble upon Vanguards are reason for celebration enough – up-and-coming student artists\, trailblazing local musicians\, students at the end of another academic year\, and families passing through for a casual Saturday on campus. However\, it is the circulation of ideas and variety of experience that is Vanguards’ greater triumph. Creativity\, diversity\, and inclusivity are shared in the safe haven that FOKUS creates so all participants can come together and celebrate what makes them unique and find their common ground.\n\nFor 2014\, we are celebrating FOKUS’s 10 year anniversary. We want to honor FOKUS’s past and current dedication to diversity and social issues. Our goal this year is to embody our mission: to educate\, empower\, and unite communities using the arts. FOKUS’s motto “Art Is”¦” will provide the framework. Art is all around us and VANGUARDS 2014 will serve as a testament to the creativity that exists inside us all.\n\nHEADLINER PERFORMANCES: NoName Gypsy (Chicago)\, Kopelli (Detroit)\, Ty Beat and Matt Black (Grand Rapids)\, DJ AnnaMalistiik\n\nActivities: Live Painting + Giant Bubbles + Custom Tattoos + Henna + Yard Games + Zumba + Fun for ALL!!!

Born in 1923\, Metcalf is a native of Ohio. He began his education at the University of Michigan in 1941 but his studies were halted during World War II. After serving in Europe\, Metcalf returned to Ann Arbor and finished his degree in 1950. Upon graduation\, he worked as an apprentice to George B. Brigham and began teaching Architecture at the University of Michigan. Metcalf began his own practice in 1953 and completed over 120 projects Ann Arbor and the Detroit Metro area. \nThis exhibition presents 13 domestic projects that span his six-decade-long career from 1953-2008\, highlighting his straightforward design aesthetic\, featuring many of his iconic flat-roofed houses. Each project selected exemplifies Metcalf’s mid-century modern architectural vocabulary that results in functional\, minimalist spaces for living.\n\nThis exhibition presents 13 domestic projects that span his six-decade-long career from 1953-2008\, highlighting his straightforward design aesthetic\, featuring many of his iconic flat-roofed houses.

Part 1 of the series presented the work of David Osler (December 21\, 2013–March 30\, 2013). The series will culminate in Fall 2014 with a symposium\, as well as the publication of Three Michigan Architects: Osler\, Metcalf\, and Brigham–both of which will explore the importance of this circle of Ann Arbor-based architects\, situating their regional body of domestic work into the larger context of modern architecture in the U.S. that developed on the East Coast and West Coast from the 1930s–1980s.\n UID:16957-1199990@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/16957 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:exhibit,umma LOCATION:Museum of Art CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20140225T155704 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20140413T113000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20140413T124500 SUMMARY:Exhibition:Special Event DESCRIPTION:To register for this free program\, email umma-program-registration@umich.edu or call 734.647.0522 for more information.\n\nMeet Me at UMMA invites people with mild memory loss to enjoy a guided gallery experience along with family members or care partners.

Each spring he brings in blues and jazz singers and players that you may not have heard before for a mini musicians' summit\, right here at The Ark! This year's concerts feature fan favorite Axel Zwingenberger\, accompanying classic blues singer Lila Ammons. Lila has forged a path in music that at once honors tradition and her own expressive impulses. Beginning her vocal career in opera houses and concert halls\, she later returned to her familial roots in jazz and the boogie woogie tradition (she is the niece of tenor sax titan Gene ï ¿ ½Jugï ¿ ½ Ammons and the granddaughter of the great boogie woogie pianist Albert Ammons). She gained popular and critical acclaim touring Europe and Brazil with German pianist Axel Zwingenberger\, and as featured vocalist with the ABC&D of Boogie Woogie Quartet with Zwingenberger and Charlie Watts. Through recordings and live performances alike\, Ammons continues to attract new audiences with her nuanced vocal jazz narratives\, a respect for traditional blues and jazz idioms\, and an unpredictability that delights. Accompanist Zwingenberger has been dubbed the Boogiemeister of the World. He's a star in his own right\, with three decades of recordings under his belt and has inspired hundreds of musicians\, in his native Europe and beyond\, to learn boogie woogie and keep the form alive.\n\nNote special start time!

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.

Born in 1923\, Metcalf is a native of Ohio. He began his education at the University of Michigan in 1941 but his studies were halted during World War II. After serving in Europe\, Metcalf returned to Ann Arbor and finished his degree in 1950. Upon graduation\, he worked as an apprentice to George B. Brigham and began teaching Architecture at the University of Michigan. Metcalf began his own practice in 1953 and completed over 120 projects Ann Arbor and the Detroit Metro area. \nThis exhibition presents 13 domestic projects that span his six-decade-long career from 1953-2008\, highlighting his straightforward design aesthetic\, featuring many of his iconic flat-roofed houses. Each project selected exemplifies Metcalf’s mid-century modern architectural vocabulary that results in functional\, minimalist spaces for living.\n\nThis exhibition presents 13 domestic projects that span his six-decade-long career from 1953-2008\, highlighting his straightforward design aesthetic\, featuring many of his iconic flat-roofed houses.

Part 1 of the series presented the work of David Osler (December 21\, 2013–March 30\, 2013). The series will culminate in Fall 2014 with a symposium\, as well as the publication of Three Michigan Architects: Osler\, Metcalf\, and Brigham–both of which will explore the importance of this circle of Ann Arbor-based architects\, situating their regional body of domestic work into the larger context of modern architecture in the U.S. that developed on the East Coast and West Coast from the 1930s–1980s.\n UID:16957-1199991@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/16957 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:exhibit,umma LOCATION:Museum of Art CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20140404T113331 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20140414T160000 SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Armed with Expertise: The Militarization of American Social Research during the Cold War DESCRIPTION:Free and open to the public.\nReception and book signing to follow.\n\nAbout the book\n\nArmed with Expertise: The Militarization of American Social Research during the Cold War\nDuring the height of the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan\, the Pentagon launched a controversial counterinsurgency program called the Human Terrain System. The program embedded social scientists within military units to provide commanders with information about the cultures and grievances of local populations. Yet the controversy it inspired was not new. Decades earlier\, similar national security concerns brought the Department of Defense and American social scientists together in the search for intellectual weapons that could combat the spread of communism during the Cold War. In Armed with Expertise\, Joy Rohde traces the optimistic rise\, anguished fall\, and surprising rebirth of Cold War–era military-sponsored social research.\n\nAbout the event\n\nWith remarks from Alan Deardorff and Gabrielle Hecht\nJoy Rohde will remark on major points of the book and answer questions from the audience.\n\nFollowing the talk\, copies of Armed with Expertise will be available for purchase and signing by the author.\n\nThe Gerald R. Ford School of Public Policy is proud to host this book talk as one of the highlights of the school's year-long centennial celebrations.

DESCRIPTION:Does sex have any erotic purpose? Does it advance the lover's goal? Is sex what the lover really wants? The greatest philosophers of classical antiquity say no. According to one argument\, it is not love which aims at sex or which seeks to express itself through sex. It is sex which aims at love. Professor Halperin examines this argument and connects it with forms of contemporary gay male eroticism.\n\nDavid M. Halperin is the W. H.

Like millions of other young people\, he was sent to the countryside for re-education during the final years of the Cultural Revolution. After the death of his mother in 1976\, Yang began to write poetry. Back in Beijing\, as one of the leading experimental poets\, he was associated with the underground literary periodical Jintian (Today).\n\nYang Lian is best known as a poet\, but he also writes prose\, literary criticism and art criticism. His work\, which comprises half a score of poetry collections and two volumes of prose\, has been translated into over twenty languages. It includes: Dead in Exile (1989)\, Masks & Crocodile (1990)\, Non-person Singular (1995)\, Yi (2002)\, Notes of a Blissful Ghost (2002) and Concentric Circles (2006). He is regarded as one of the most representative voices of present-day Chinese literature.\n\nA recent passion and project of Yang Lian is to encourage the production and translation of poetry written in dialects of Chinese: Sichuan dialect\, Shanghainese and Beijing dialect. There is currently no vehicle for writing poetry in these languages since Chinese orthography supports Mandarin only. Yang has been closely involved with a collective of Slovenian poets who\, despite the small population of their country\, support poetic production in nine Slovene dialects. He is currently working with Kelly Askew (U-M) and a formerly exiled Kenyan poet\, Abdilatif Abdalla\, on translating poetry composed in various dialects of Swahili into English and from English into dialect forms of Chinese. The idea is ultimately to produce a volume on ”˜dialect poetry’\, written in the shadows of dominant\, politically powerful\, languages (Mandarin and Standardized Swahili being but two examples).\n\nOrganized by the African Studies Center and co-sponsored by the Center for Chinese Studies\, the International Institute\, and the Confucius Institute at the University of Michigan.

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.

Born in 1923\, Metcalf is a native of Ohio. He began his education at the University of Michigan in 1941 but his studies were halted during World War II. After serving in Europe\, Metcalf returned to Ann Arbor and finished his degree in 1950. Upon graduation\, he worked as an apprentice to George B. Brigham and began teaching Architecture at the University of Michigan. Metcalf began his own practice in 1953 and completed over 120 projects Ann Arbor and the Detroit Metro area. \nThis exhibition presents 13 domestic projects that span his six-decade-long career from 1953-2008\, highlighting his straightforward design aesthetic\, featuring many of his iconic flat-roofed houses. Each project selected exemplifies Metcalf’s mid-century modern architectural vocabulary that results in functional\, minimalist spaces for living.\n\nThis exhibition presents 13 domestic projects that span his six-decade-long career from 1953-2008\, highlighting his straightforward design aesthetic\, featuring many of his iconic flat-roofed houses.

Dr. Muñoz is a former Unit chief at the International Agency for Research on Cancer in Lyon\, an Emeritus Scientist of the National Cancer Institute of Colombia\, and a member of the Society of Scholars of Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore.\n\nDr. Muñoz will speak on the topic of “Human papillomavirus in the etiology and prevention of genital cancers”.\n\nA reception will immediately follow the lecture in SPH I\, Community Room (Room 1680).\n\nSummary of Talk:\nThe molecular epidemiological studies that led to conclude that infection with certain types of human papillomavirus (HPV) is not only the main cause but also a necessary cause of cervical cancer and also contribute to the etiology of other anogenital cancers and cancer of the oropharynx will be reviewed\, as well as the implications of these findings in the great advances made in the prevention of HPV”associated diseases.\n\nBio:\nDr. Muñoz earned her Medical Degree and Board of Pathologist at the University of Valle in Cali\, Colombia. She served a Fellowship in Pathology and virology at the National Cancer Institute\, Bethesda\, Maryland\, and earned a Master’s Degree in Public Health and Cancer Epidemiology from The Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore\, Maryland. After completing her training she spent her 30 years career at the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) in Lyon\, France. Through successive promotions she reached the rank of Chief of the Unit of Field and Intervention Studies\, a position she held until the year 2002. She became then Emeritus professor of the National Cancer Institute of Colombia\, consultant to the IARC and the Catalan Institute of Oncology in Barcelona.\n\nShe has conducted epidemiological research on cancers linked to infectious agents\, which represent an important health problem in developing countries. She implemented various research projects in over 30 countries around the world. These have been instrumental in demonstrating the role of human papillomavirus (HPV) as the central and necessary cause of cervical cancer and a contributing factor in other cancers\, such oral cancer\; the causal role of hepatitis B virus (HBV) and hepatitis C virus in liver cancer\; and elucidating the role of Helicobacter pylori in gastric cancer. At the same time\, these various research projects provided her the opportunity of training local colleagues in Cancer Epidemiology. From her IARC unit she began to lead in the early1980s a massive effort that achieved two major goals: 1)\, demonstration that certain genotypes of HPV are unequivocally one the strongest cancer risk factors ever found. These findings have had important implications in primary prevention of cervical cancer by the use of prophylactic vaccines and on secondary prevention\, by the use of HPV assays in screening programs.2)\, she has played a catalytic role in the initiation of the first HBV vaccine trials to prevent liver cancer in The Gambia\, and later on the initiation and implementation of HPV vaccine trials to demonstrate their efficacy in the prevention of cervical cancer worldwide. She has authored over 380 scientific papers published in peer-reviewed journals and she serves on the editorial boards of seven international journals and on boards of several medical societies.\n\nDr. Muñoz has received various awards from her university and medical societies from Colombia\, she is member of Academy of Medicine of Colombia\, received the Distinguished Alumna Award of The Johns Hopkins University\, the membership of the Society of Scholars of The Johns Hopkins University\, the Distinguished Epidemiologist Award from three Epidemiology Societies of North America\, the Sir Richard Doll award from the International Epidemiological Association (IEA) in 2008. In 2008 she was also nominated jointly with Harald zur Hausen to the Nobel Prize of Medicine by the International Epidemiological Association for her pioneer work on HPV and cervical cancer. She received the 2009 Bruchbacher prize for Cancer Research from the Charles Rodolphe Brupbacher Foundation for Cancer Research in Zurich and the first Canada Gairdner Global Health award from the Gairdner Foundation. \n\nIn 2010 she was named “Chevalier de la Legion d’Honneur” by the French president\, the highest honour conferred by France. In 2011 she received the “Cruz de Boyaca” the highest honour conferred by Colombia\, her home country\, and was invited to deliver the prestigious “Cutter lecture on Preventive Medicine” at the Harvard School of Public Health. In Nov. 2012 she was invited to deliver the Geoffrey Howe Memorial Lecture at the School of Public Health of Columbia University in New York. In 2014 she has been invited to give the Thomas Francis\, Jr. Memorial Lecture at the School of Public Health of Michigan University.\n UID:17003-1200147@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/17003 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:dr. nubia munoz,francis,jr. memorial lecture,thomas francis LOCATION:Public Health II - Auditorium 1755 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20140218T154322 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20140415T160000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20140415T170000 SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:The Warren Herb Wagner Lecture in Plant Evolution\, Department of EEB DESCRIPTION:The niche plays a central role in ecological and evolutionary theory\, despite\, or perhaps because of\, many different definitions and applications. Two challenges in particular arise in efforts to cross spatial and temporal scales\, to link experimental and community-based niche studies with phylogenetic and macroevolutionary approaches. First\, the niche is often best defined at a community level\, contrasting species with their immediate neighbors and competitors\, but this approach is difficult to map onto phylogenetic studies for comparative studies examining niche evolution. And second\, we still grapple with the connection between the potential for adaptive evolution in populations and observations of stasis\, niche conservatism and related macroevolutionary measures. In this lecture\, I will explore these challenges\, illustrating the potential for the alpha-beta niche distinction to help resolve the first\, and sharing results of an experimental study of niche evolution in vernal pool annuals (Lasthenia)\, and implications for understanding the recent radiation of this clade.\n\nPlease join us for a pre-seminar reception from 3:15 - 4 p.m. in Room 2060 Kraus Natural Science Building.

This year's Open Stage Showcase performers are Darrin Breil and Lisa Ritchie. Darrin Breil says he was born to play music\, and after the purchase of his first acoustic guitar at age six there was no stopping this destiny. He would later describe a missing and longing feeling to be with a guitar again as his reason for seeking it out at such a young age. He was exposed to country music and classic rock early on\, and has been influenced by Bob Seger\, Motown\, guitarists like Elvis Presley’s Scotty Moore\, and the rhythmic stylings of Chuck Berry and Bo Diddley. Combining rhythmic roots\, pure emotion and lyrical poetry has created a sound that many who knew this well-traveled musician would simply call “Breilstyle.\"\n\nLisa Ritchie\, a recent graduate from the U-M\, says the majority of her time was split between two passions–God and music. In 2011\, she formed a band called Hush\, Love. A songwriter for 13 years\, she continually evolves in her style. “Some people know exactly what their style is and how to pursue it\, but I find mine to be constantly changing\, leading me to chase after a melody I just can’t quite write”¦yet.” Influences range from Shania Twain all the way to her current rekindled passion for punk rock. Her list of influences contains Death Cab for Cutie\, Yellow Card\, Coldplay\, and includes newer artists such as Milo Greene\, Roo Panes and Lord Huron. Lisa's songwriting has been shaped by the songs she never tires of. “'Title and Registration!' That is a song I will never be sick of listening to. So\, I think that’s my goal: to write a song you can listen to on repeat without getting tired of it. There’s some ”˜mystical’ element in songs like that\, they put feelings into words\,\" Lisa says.

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.

After serving in Europe\, Metcalf returned to Ann Arbor and finished his degree in 1950. Upon graduation\, he worked as an apprentice to George B. Brigham and began teaching Architecture at the University of Michigan. Metcalf began his own practice in 1953 and completed over 120 projects Ann Arbor and the Detroit Metro area. \nThis exhibition presents 13 domestic projects that span his six-decade-long career from 1953-2008\, highlighting his straightforward design aesthetic\, featuring many of his iconic flat-roofed houses. Each project selected exemplifies Metcalf’s mid-century modern architectural vocabulary that results in functional\, minimalist spaces for living.\n\nThis exhibition presents 13 domestic projects that span his six-decade-long career from 1953-2008\, highlighting his straightforward design aesthetic\, featuring many of his iconic flat-roofed houses.

In fact\, some astronomers predict that stars more than 20 times the mass of our sun may only form in clusters\, alongside hundreds or thousands of other stars. Yet surveys of massive stars find that a quarter of them exist in isolation. Could these stars be forming all alone? Or are they being separated from their birth clusters? To answer these questions\, we took a complete census of isolated massive stars in one of our closest neighboring galaxies\, the Small Magellanic Cloud. The demographics of this \"field star\" population reveal key clues about their origin.\n\nThe Ralph B. Baldwin Prize in Astrophysics and Space Sciences is an award sponsored by a generous gift to the University by Dr. Ralph B. Baldwin. Applicants must show original and significant contributions to their field as measured in their scholarly publications.\nStudent applications are selected from the fields of Astronomy\, Atmospheric\, Oceanic\, and Space Science\; Chemistry\; Physics\; Geology\; and Mathematics as they pertain to space\, its bodies\, and relevant physical processes. The prize is awarded annually to a student who has received a University of Michigan Ph.D. during the previous year. A faculty committee comprised of representatives from the appropriate departments judges the packages submitted on the basis of the excellence of their research activities revealed in the student's thesis and publications during their career.\nThe 2014 Ralph Baldwin Prize is awarded to Dr. Joel Lamb\, who received his PhD in Astronomy & Astrophysics from U-M in 2012.
