DESCRIPTION;CHARSET=UTF-8:\n\nHow do you use a digital camera? How and where can you get pictures developed and prints made? If you have a computer\, what simple things can you do to improve the photo after you take it?  How do you send pictures by e-mail? What makes a picture stand out? What is the meaning of all those technical sounding words in the instruction book? What replaces the shoe box you used to use for storing negatives? If you own a digital camera\, bring it and the instruction book along to class. Ifyou do not have a digital camera\, wait to buy one until we have our first discussion about what to look for in a camera.\n\n Classes will be led by Henry (Hank) Weaver on September 5\, 7\, 12\, 14\, 2-3:30 pm in Newcomer Center\, Room 19.

DESCRIPTION;CHARSET=UTF-8:In October 2006\, a local truck driver entered an Amish school in Nickel Mines\, PA and shot many of the students\, killing five girls and himself. For many people\, the most shocking part of this incident was the forgiveness that the Amish community immediately offered to the killer's family. Goshen College history professor Steve Nolt is co-writing a book about the Amish and forgiveness with fellow scholars Don Kraybill and David Weaver-Zercher. It is scheduled to be released by Jossey-Bass press in October 2007.

DESCRIPTION;CHARSET=UTF-8:Dr. David Bartel of the Whitehead Institute/MIT/HHMI is a GC grad who will be receiving a Culture for Service award during our Alumni Weekend. His research deals with small RNAs that silence genes. His lab uses a combination of biochemical\, molecular\, genetic\, and computational approaches to identify additional genes\, explore their roles in regulating eukaryotic gene expression\, and determine the molecular mechanisms of their action. His discoveries have been cited in some of our biology texts and in many molecular biology research articles. He has been the recipient of several major international awards recognizing his work. This is a great opportunity to learn about cutting edge research from one who is an international leader in genetics and molecular biology.

DESCRIPTION;CHARSET=UTF-8:Sarah Thiessen is a 2007 graduate who has worked on our yeast molecular genetics project for multiple years using DNA microarray technology to locate a mutant gene. She joined the team as a Maple Scholar in the summer of 2006\, helped the Molecular Cell Biology class learn about DNA microarrays in the Spring of 2007\, and then returned during the summer of 2007. Her work has resulted in tentatively identifying the mutant suppressor of potassium transport deficiency we have sought for several years. The gene appears to be one that codes for a symporter of glycerol phosphate and protons which has gained the ability to transport potassium ions. This report will also be presented at the Indiana Academy of Science meeting in Indianapolis in late October and will contain information about the use of DNA microarray technology in college classes. We hope to receive your comments about any improvements following the presentation here.

DESCRIPTION;CHARSET=UTF-8:Restoring hand use to a paralyzed monkey: Brain-controlled functional neuromuscular stimulation.  --Approximately 11\,000 individuals suffer spinal cord injuries each year.  Roughly half of these injuries result in at least partial paralysis of all four limbs.  Ironically\, unlike stroke\, spinal cord injury is most prevalent among young people\, with decades of remaining life.  Spinal cord injuries disconnect the brain from the rest of the body.  Movement commands\, though still present in the brain\, can no longer reach the muscles they are intended to control.  Our group has developed the technology to artificially reconnect the brain’s movement commands to the muscles of the hand.	To test the system\, we temporarily paralyze the muscles of a monkey’s arm by injecting a local anesthetic into the nerves.  We use signals recorded from arrays of electrodes implanted in the monkey’s brain to predict the muscle activity the monkey is trying to produce.  Electrical neuromuscular stimulation\, controlled in real-time by these predictions\, gives the monkey voluntary control over the paralyzed muscles.  While the forces that the monkey can produce under these conditions are not as high as normal\, they are significantly higher than can be produced without the system.

DESCRIPTION;CHARSET=UTF-8:This talk is the result of many years of working in an art and design educational environment and observing the relationship between these disciplines\, their intrinsic and implicit values\, and how their significance has been conflating\, overlapping\, colliding\, and reemerging in the last decade in particular around the shared interest in sustainability. It will traverse a complex ground starting with images as innocent as those of the impressionists\, working through the benign controversies such work produced\, to the unique achievement of Maya Lin’s Vietnam Memorial and the more recent examples of art and design responses to the Iraq war. The examples will move between art\, architecture\, memorials\, monuments\, and interventions to comment upon the importance of making these implicit values explicit for the next generation of practitioners who need to know how to understand the way in which art and design have been and will continue to be forces for social change\, leading the conversation about the urgencies of the planet and our relationship to these concerns for the future.\n\nBecker recently assumed the role of Dean of Faculty at the School of the Arts\, Columbia University in New York\, having from 1994 to 2007served as Dean of Faculty\, Senior Vice-President for Academic Affairs at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago.\n\nThis event is free and open to the public.

DESCRIPTION;CHARSET=UTF-8:        Jeffrey Davidow  served as Ambassador to Mexico from 1998 to 2002\, serving under both Presidents Clinton and Bush.  He was Ambassador during the historic election of Vicente Fox as Mexico’s president\, ending seven decades of one-party rule.	In his book entitled The U.S. and Mexico: The Bear and the Porcupine\, Ambassador Jeffrey Davidow wrote\, “I will make this flat statement: No nation in the world has a greater impact on the daily lives of average Americans than Mexico.”  	In his lecture\, the Ambassador will expand on that statement.  He will speak to the current state of the relationship between the U.S. and Mexico and the reasons for both the interdependence\, and the frequent misunderstandings\, between the two countries. 	After serving thirty-four years in the State Department\, Davidow retired as America’s highest ranking diplomat\, one of only three people to hold the personal rank of Career Ambassador.           During his Foreign Service career\, Ambassador Davidow focused much of his efforts on improving relations with Latin America.  He served in increasingly senior positions in the U.S. embassies in Guatemala\, Chile\, and Venezuela\, and then later returned to Venezuela as Ambassador.  He then served as ambassador to Mexico from 1998 to 2002.
