Program Council is proud to present our first React To Film documentary of the year, Escape Fire: The Fight to Rescue American Healthcare. This movie will is FREE and will take place in the VAC Auditorium (room 1B20) at 7:30pm on Wednesday, September 19th.
:: Summary ::
...
ESCAPE FIRE: The Fight to Rescue American Healthcare tackles one of the most pressing issues of our time: what can be done to save our broken medical system? The film examines the powerful forces trying to maintain the status quo in a medical industry designed for quick fixes rather than prevention, for profit-driven care rather than patient-driven care. After decades of resistance, a movement to bring innovative high-touch, low-cost methods of prevention and healing into our high-tech, costly system is finally gaining ground. ESCAPE FIRE follows dramatic human stories as well as leaders fighting to transform healthcare at the highest levels of medicine, industry, government, and even the US military. The film is about a way out, about saving the health of a nation.

| CS Colloquium: Sankaranarayanan on "Finding Falsifications in Complex Cyber-Physical Systems" 3:30 PM - 4:30 PM
Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS) combine discretely evolving computational components with a continuously changing physical world. Examples of CPS include safety-critical systems that control airplanes, automobiles, power plants and implantable medical devices. Assuring the safety of these systems requires techniques that transcend the limited coverage provided by testing/simulation. Even though impressive progress has been achieved with symbolic formal verification techniques for linear systems, the verification of non-linear, industrial scale CPS designs remains a distant goal.
In this talk, I present a simple yet effective approach to automatically searching for property violations in
non-linear systems. Our approach defines the notion of robustness metrics over traces that can be used to measure distances between simulation traces and properties expressed in temporal logics. As a result, robustness metrics can naturally quantify how "close" a particular simulation of the system is to violating a property of interest. By treating robustness metrics as an objective function to minimize over the simulation traces of the system, we can use many off-the-shelf global optimization techniques to effectively steer the simulations towards a falsification of the property being considered . Despite the lack of strong formal guarantees, we find that robustness-guided falsification is a promising approach to searching for property violations in complex systems. We present the S-Taliro tool, an implementation of our approach to reason about properties of non-linear systems modeled as Simulink/Stateflow diagrams. We present two interesting case studies using S-Taliro, including a risk analysis of insulin infusion pump usage by diabetic patients that models the software in the pump in conjunction with the dynamics of insulin/glucose regulatory system. Joint work with Georgios Fainekos (Arizona State).
Sri ram Sankaranarayanan is an Assistant professor of Computer Science at the University of Colorado Boulder. His research interests include techniques for verifying programs and cyber-physical systems. Sri ram obtained a PhD in 2005 from Stanford University. Subsequently he worked as a research staff member at NEC research labs in Princeton, NJ. He has been on the faculty at CU Boulder since 2009. Sriram has been the recipient of awards including the Siebel Scholarship (2005), the CAREER award from NSF (2009) and the Dean's award for outstanding junior faculty for the College of Engineering at CU Boulder (2012). |

| CU on the Weekend: Nuclear Families, Nuclear Towns: Los Alamos in the Cold War
Led by Professor Lee Chambers
In the four decades that began in the winter of 1947-48 and ended with the dismantling of the Berlin Wall in 1989-90, the United States engaged in the longest war in its history. The so-called "Cold War," which included the two "hot" episodes of Korea and Vietnam that together cost 327,000 American casualties, reflected the ability of a succession of American presidential administrations to convince the American people that communism and its protagonists constituted an unprecedented menace. Haunted by the fear that "The Red Tide of Communism" might sweep all before it (never likely, as some knew then and most know now) and the suspicion that Stalin's regime had adopted strategies to subvert capitalist democracies by means overt or subversive (as indeed it had), post World War II Americans accepted as imperative peacetime policies that previous generations had consistently rejected. These included: formal defensive alliances with foreign governments; the publicized intention forcibly to defend "boundaries" drawn thousands of miles beyond the territorial limits of the United States; massive expenditures on the manpower and armaments required to sustain these commitments; and the abandonment of long-standing indifference to state-of-the-art weaponry in favor of aggressive development of ever-more-powerful nuclear arms and delivery systems.
The development of the nuclear weapons arsenal took place in an atmosphere of mission urgency and espionage paranoia that thickened as spy scandals surfaced. In weapons laboratories, scientists and engineers saw themselves as "Cold Warriors" on the virtual but terrifyingly real front lines of this superpower confrontation. The feeling of playing a crucial role in the nation's security projected beyond the secret spaces of the laboratories and their scientists and engineers (nearly all men) into nearby private and public spaces (homes, schools, churches), enlisting and disciplining the women and children, molding them, as one former resident remembers, into "Warrior Families that knew the rules." In this program, Professor Chambers will discuss her research on family and community life in this Cold War "atomic city." |

| Genocide Doesn't Mean What You Think It Means: Commemorating WWII in Ukraine and Baltics 11:00 AM - 12:00 PM
The Mizel Museum presents the annual Babi Yar Memorial at Babi Yar Park in Denver (located at the corner of Yale and Havana) with the keynote lecture by David Shneer, professor of history and director of the Program in Jewish Studies at the University of Colorado Boulder.
In most of the former Soviet Union, the word "genocide" means one thing - the crimes of the Soviet regime based in Moscow perpetrated against Ukrainians, Lithuanians, Latvians, and others. In the Baltic States and Ukraine, those whom Jews and others consider collaborators with the Nazis during World War II are held up as national liberation heros. How can two groups of people have such radically different pictures of the past? Professor David Shneer will speak about the challenge of commemorating genocide and the Holocaust in these newly independent countries.
The Babi Yar Annual Memorial honors the memories of those lost during the Holocaust in Babi Yar and throughout Europe. This one-hour program is free and open to the public. Docent-led tours of Babi Yar Park will be available following the program. For additional information, contact the Mizel Museum at 303.749.5019. |

We would appreciate your organization sending women professionals to join us for this event. Dress for this event is business or business casual attire.
Help students learn the art of networking by giving them some pointers at the event. As business professionals, you have had plenty of networking experience, and know the art of "working a room." We are counting on you to show the students how it is done. Employer Representatives will introduce themselves, so that students will get an idea of who is with what company.
Sponsoring organizations will have their name(s) displayed in the College of Engineering Lobby. Please register on CSO Career Events, or contact Suzann.Shotts@colorado.edu. |

While this is sponsored by Wesley Fellowship (a progressive Christian campus ministry), and while many of the people who p
articipate in this may be motivated by their faith, this is not a "churchy" thing. It's open to people of all, or no, faith/religious backgrounds. It's for people who care and want to roll up their sleeves to make a difference.

Co-Sponsored by Application Developers Alliance 
Free parking available: A parking attendant will pass out event parking permits between 3:00-4:00 PM
Developers are in the crosshairs of a nationwide explosion of
lawmaking. Legislators and regulators are making decisions about
software privacy that will make your work more difficult, and this is
your opportunity to make your voice heard. Anyone who writes software --
no matter the language or platform -- must understand the issues and
take the lead in the discussion to ensure privacy protections are
effective but do not impede growth in the business of creating software.
That's why Silicon Flatirons and Application Developers Alliance are
bringing the privacy conversation to developers in Colorado. The summit
will include conversations guided by discussion leaders to help
developers better understand the changing privacy landscape and give
them a voice in the dialogue. This isn't a heavy event, it's a
conversation led by and for developers.

Kick-off LGBT History Month with CU's Departments of History, Ethnic Studies, and Women and Gender Studies as well as the Program in Jewish Studies, the LGBT Studies Program, and the LGBT Center for the first film in the LGBT series, "Ruthie and Connie: Every Room in the House."
"Ruthie and Connie" is a heart warming film about two Jewish lesbians who were very politically active, well before it was politically correct to do so. The film engages domestic, political, cultural and even religious issues as they pursue first domestic partnership in New York and then years later, the fight to get married.
"Deborah Dickson’s touching and illuminating Ruthie and Connie, [is] a portrait of two feisty Jewish grandmothers who’ve been in a lesbian relationship for 25 years and recount their joys and hardships with inimitable zest.”
— Loren King, BOSTON GLOBE CORRESPONDENT

| Computer Science Colloquium 3:30 PM - 4:30 PM
From Personal Computers to Personal Robots – Challenges in Computer Science Education
Nikolaus Correll
University of Colorado Boulder
ECCR 265
Thursday, October 4
3:30-4:30 PM
Robots are computers that are extended by sensing, actuation, and communication capabilities. Similarly, devices that were previously limited to actuation or sensing alone, such as vacuum cleaners, lawnmowers, cars or everyday gadgets and household appliances are becoming robots by increasing their sensing and computation capabilities, eventually leading to a paradigm shift from “Personal Computers” to “Personal Robots”. This viewpoint positions “robotics” not as a new discipline, but as an extension of computer science and its sub-disciplines including artificial intelligence, natural language processing, computer vision, software engineering, security, and human-computer interaction, among others. The key challenges of a robotic system — not only from a research, but also from an educational perspective - are (1) that the dynamics and uncertainty of the real world require a shift from deterministic to probabilistic reasoning, (2) computing interaction with the physical world requires a deep understanding of its dynamics, and (3) that robots are systems-of-systems often consisting of hundreds of distributed, heterogeneous computing elements. While these challenges might require curriculum updates to almost all computer science sub-disciplines in the long run, specific “robotics” classes are needed that focus on the interface between the computational and physical world and let students experience real world dynamics, uncertainty, and complexity first hand.
In my talk, I will describe a one-year introductory robotics course sequence focusing on computational aspects of robotics for third- and fourth-year students that addresses these challenges. Content learning and retention is assessed for a subset of students who successfully went through the proposed curriculum. All class materials as well as hardware, in particular a low-cost, highly articulated robotic arm developed for teaching advanced robotics concepts, are opensource and available online.
Nikolaus Correll is an Assistant Professor in Computer Science at the University of Colorado. He obtained his Master’s degree in Electrical Engineering from ETH Zuerich, a Ph.D. in Computer Science from EPFL and worked as a post-doc at MIT CSAIL. Nikolaus’ research interests are multi-robot and swarming systems. He teaches “Introduction to Robotics” and “Advanced Robotics” to third- and fourth-year students. He is the recipient of a NSF and a NASA CAREER award.

| Affective Labor, Ethnic Migrant Youth and the Precariat in Neoliberal China 5:00 PM - 6:30 PM
A public lecture by Hai Ren, Assistant Professor of East Asian Studies at the University of Arizona. Prof. Ren will examine how ethnic minority migrant youth in China pursue work opportunities that involve the investment of affective labor.
The paper examines how ethnic minority migrant youth in China pursue work opportunities that involve the investment of affective labor. I define affective labor as a two-fold process: as the management of feelings that serves to personalize impersonal commercial transactions and as the strategic deployment of feelings to produce individuals who are expected to advance the state’s neoliberal project of national development. I offer two case studies. The first focuses on ethnic migrant workers whose affective labor involves the performance of ethnic difference at the Chinese Ethnic Culture Park in Beijing. In this case, the workers’ investment of affective labor serves the purpose of national development not only by facilitating the self-development of rural-to-urban migrant workers, but also the self-development of consumers who are taught to embrace cosmopolitan values by learning to appreciate cultural diversity. The second case study examines how China Central Television’s popular “Eastern Time and Space” program scorned the homeless ethnic youth in Wuhan who pretended to be poor college students and asked for donations to fund their education. The television program endorses entrepreneurial values but it differentiates between ethical and unethical deployments of affective labor. Both case studies, I argue, illustrate that affective labor is not simply a potentialsolution to the problems of youth underemployment and unemployment in China.Rather, the deployment of affective labor is also central to the state’s developmentalist agenda that aims to transform individuals into neoliberal subjects while building a “harmonious society” (hexie shehui). I conclude that a critical assessment of the relationships between affective labor, neoliberalism and the state helps toreveal an emerging new politics of the precariat, the successor of the proletariat. |
| Affective Labor, Ethnic Migrant Youth and the Precariat in Neoliberal China 5:00 PM - 6:30 PM
A public lecture by Professor Hai Ren, Associate Professor of East Asian Studies at the University of Arizona. Professor Ren's talk will focus on two cultural sites: the Chinese Ethnic Culture Park in Beijing, and China Central Television's popular program“Eastern Time and Space.”It will explore how these cultural sites shape the subjectivities of ethnic minority migrant youth in China, in order to align them with the state's project of neoliberal national development. |

| Punctuation to Sentences to Paragraphs to Ideas: The Writing Process in Reverse 3:30 PM - 4:30 PM
(Held in Fleming 170) Presented by Dr. Peter Kratzke, Writing and Rhetoric
A great deal of writing instruction asks how much attention we should pay to the "surface stuff." Although the question might create a debate in the writing classroom, make no mistake: your non-writing professors do, in fact, pay attention. A lot of attention. The real problem, though, in your paying attention to the surfaces of writing after you write is that the tactic will not work: you must learn to think in writing as much about writing. To begin toward this level of thinking, I shall advocate in this presentation what some would call "backward design"--in this case, starting with the surface stuff and then seeing why and how it contributes to meaning-making. Punctuation is the most obvious example and will be our focus here. We do not, after all, speak our punctuation...but maybe we should! If all goes well, you should emerge from this hour-long presentation with a solid start toward thinking in and about the periods, semi-colons, colons, dashes, and, at the mountaintop, commas that both privately shape your thoughts and publically direct how your readers perceive you. Oh, and allow me to mention: better grades will follow.

| Visiting Artist Lecture Series: Liz Quackenbush 6:30 PM - 8:00 PM
At first glance, the artwork of Liz Quackenbush appears whimsical, playful and cosmic. An underlying theme of nature is inherent in her forms, which range from hand-built, frog sculptures, to colorful, floral plates and vases. She creates multidimensional forms, some functional and some not so functional, that are varied and dynamic and hold one's attention. According to Quackenbush, "the specific visual syntax that forms such a central part of my work is derived primarily from my own, very personal, experience of nature as an intimate part of daily life."
Quackenbush plays with concepts of form and dimension, material, ornamentation, craftsmanship, tradition, and nature. It is the dynamic of her materials, technique, and forms that create beauty and intrigue in her pieces.
Liz Quackenbush received her BFA from the University of Colorado and her MFA from the School for American Craftsmen at Rochester Institute of Technology. |

| What Does it Mean to Be Literate in the Age of Google? 12:00 PM - 2:00 PM
Joint colloquium of the Department of Computer Science and the Institute for Cognitive Science (ICS)
What Does it Mean to Be Literate in the Age of Google?
Daniel Russell, Űber Tech Lead for Search Quality and User Happiness, Google
What does it mean to be literate at a time when you can search over billions of texts in less than 300 milliseconds? Although you might think that "literacy" is one of the great constants that transcend the ages, the skills of a literate person have changed substantially over time as texts and technology allow for new kinds of reading and understanding. Knowing how to read is just the beginning of it ¬-- knowing how to frame a question, pose a query, how to interpret the texts that you find, how to organize and use the information you discover, how to understand your metacognition--these are all critical parts of being literate as well. In this talk I'll review what literacy is today, in the age of Google, and show how some very surprising and unexpected skills will turn out to be critical in the years ahead.
Daniel Russell is the Űber Tech Lead for Search Quality and User Happiness in Mountain View. He earned his PhD in computer science, specializing in Artificial Intelligence until he realized that magnifying and understanding human intelligence was his real passion. Twenty years ago he foreswore AI in favor of HI, and enjoys teaching, learning, running and music, preferably all in one day. He has worked at Xerox PARC before it was PARC.com, was in the Advanced Technology Group at Apple where he wrote the first 100 web pages for www.Apple.com using SimpleText. He has also worked at IBM and briefly at a startup that developed tablet computers before the iPad.

| Live Faculty Talk: Measuring the Oldest Light in the Universe with one of the Highest Telescopes 7:30 PM - 8:30 PM
The oldest light in the universe is the cosmic microwave background (CMB), which has been traveling through space for almost 14 billion years. The discovery of the CMB in 1965 provided an observational foundation for the big bang model of cosmology. More recent CMB measurements have led to new insights, including confirmation of the surprising discoveries that dark energy and dark matter dominate our universe. We are now using one of the highest telescopes on Earth – the Atacama Cosmology Telescope located in the Chilean desert at 17,000 feet – to measure the CMB with unprecedented precision and to help us understand the origin and evolution of the universe. |

able to seek our own path and contribute to the world with our unique
talents. We believe that by helping others discover their own paths,
there will be a significant positive change in the world—the world needs
people in tune with who they are and what they care about.
Stop in and meet 4 Roadies – learn about their travels, the
interesting people they are meeting, and what they hope to do from here!
· Mateo
(Sociology Major, Cal State Long Beach) – interested in social
work/urban planning/teaching/writing. Why is he on the road with RTN?
Hated his corporate job. Needed reflection time to think about the path
he was taking.
· Jamie (English
Major, UC Irvine) – interested in teaching high school English &
vintage shop owner. Why is he on the road with RTN? To grow from new
experiences, challenge herself, and travel & nourish her curiosity.
· Megan
(Elementary Educ, Bucknell University) – interested in teaching. Why is
she on the road with RTN? To expose herself to new places & new
people and see what happens.
Meet the RoadTrip Nation Roadies at 4:00pm in C4C, Room S350 -
see some footage from their PBS series. The RTN Roadies will talk about
their experiences from the road, and will answer questions about how CU
