SUMMARY:Prioritizing R&D at Baxter Healthcare - Free Webinar (XSDR001)
UID:events_stanford_edu_21249
DESCRIPTION:Guest Speaker:  Phil Beccue\, Director of Strategy and Portfo
 lio Management at Baxter.\n\nBaxter Healthcare invests nearly $1 billion
  annually on innovative science to develop specialty therapies and medic
 al products. To better assess the tradeoffs required in R&D decision-mak
 ing\, Baxter developed a portfolio system\, "SPRINT\," that captures tec
 hnical and commercial uncertainty in R&D investments. Using spreadsheets
 \, decision analysis software\, and an efficient web-based data collecti
 on tool\, SPRINT allows R&D managers to achieve financial rigor and insi
 ghts into the tradeoffs required in R&D decision-making. \n \nOur guest 
 speaker\, Phil Beccue\, is Director of Strategy and Portfolio Management
  at Baxter. He first gave this presentation at the 2009 meeting of the I
 nstitute for Operations Research and the Management Sciences (INFORMS)\,
  where it won the annual award for the the best application of decision 
 analysis. \n\nThis webinar is part of a continuing series of "Best in Cl
 ass" decision practices\, brought to you by the Stanford Center for Prof
 essional Development and Strategic Decisions Group\, in association with
  the Strategic Decision and Risk Management - Stanford Certificate Progr
 am.

 l\nScott Henderson\, Engineers for Sustainable World\, Stanford Universi
 ty\n\nThe M7.6 earthquake of 30 September 2009 in Western Sumatra\, Indo
 nesia caused significant damage and collapse to thousands of buildings a
 nd the deaths of 1\,195people in Padang City and the surrounding area.  
 This seminar will report on the findings of a reconnaissance team who vi
 sited Padang shortly after the earthquake.  Included will be (a) a summa
 ry of the earthquake mechanism and resulting ground motions\, (b) examin
 ation of the performance of buildings\, bridges and lifeline systems and
  their implications on design/construction standards and practices\, (c)
  observations on emergency response and tsunami evacuation\, and (d) les
 sons on mitigating future threats from earthquakes and tsunamis.\n\nWith
  a population of 900\,000 people living in a low-lying coastal plane\, P
 adang continues to face a serious risk from earthquakes and tsunamis tha
 t are predicted to occur on the Sunda trench fault.  Located just offsho
 re from Padang\, the Sunda trench is the same fault system on which a M9
 .2 earthquake in 2004 triggered the devastating Indian Ocean tsunami tha
 t killed over 230\,000 people.   The recent September 30 earthquake is a
  reminder of this threat and offers important lessons for developing imp
 roved plans and infrastructure for tsunami evacuation and refuge in Pada
 ng.\n\nSeminar is sponsored by the John A. Blume Earthquake Engineering 
 Center in cooperation with the Earthquake Engineering Research Institute
  and the Pacific Earthquake Engineering Research Center.\n  \n

SUMMARY:An Evening of Chican@ Poetry
UID:events_stanford_edu_21161
DESCRIPTION:The event features three stellar poets whose work arose from 
 the matrix of the civil rights movements of the 1960s and 1970s\, sharin
 g common themes yet each with a distinct voice: José Montoya’s multiling
 ual\, often humorous vernacular with a keen apprehension of the nature o
 f American life\; Lorna Dee Cervantes’ political passion combining conce
 rns for craft and gendered experience\; and Francisco X. Alarcón\, the m
 aster of the short line form as well as the sonnet\, one of the first to
  explore the poetic resonance of being Chicano and gay. These three poet
 s\, with their long and productive careers and unique voices\, will give
  members of the Stanford community an opportunity to experience the dive
 rsity and richness of Chican@ cultural production. This will also provid
 e an opportunity to honor José Montoya for his lifetime achievement.

SUMMARY:Eudora Welty at 100
UID:events_stanford_edu_20035
DESCRIPTION:This year marks the 100th anniversary of the birth of one of 
 America’s finest prose writers\, the incomparable Eudora Welty\, a nativ
 e and life-long resident of Jackson\, Mississippi. Welty’s beautifully c
 rafted\, joyous\, and wise stories\, often set in the South\, cross the 
 lines of color and class\, offering unforgettable portraits of a region 
 and its people. She was the author of ten collections of short stories\,
  six novels\, and five books of literary criticism. Her many awards incl
 ude the Pulitzer Prize for Fiction in 1973.\n\nTo celebrate Welty’s 100t
 h birthday\, Continuing Studies has invited her biographer and friend Su
 zanne Marrs to talk about Welty and her legacy. Marrs’ 2005 biography\, 
 entitled simply Eudora Welty\, is regarded as the definitive life story\
 , and one that the Dallas Morning News said “captures the humorous and u
 nconventional spirit of one of the South’s greatest writers.”\n\nOur eve
 ning celebration also features readings of some of Welty’s most popular 
 short stories (“Why I Live at the P.O.\,” “A Worn Path\,” "Where Is the 
 Voice Coming From?"). These performances—by Courtney Walsh\, Aleta Hayes
 \, and Rush Rehm—will be supplemented by projections of Welty’s extraord
 inary photographs\, many of them made while she worked for the WPA in th
 e 1930s\, bearing clear-eyed witness to the human and architectural land
 scape of the South.\n\nSUZANNE MARRS\nProfessor of English\, Millsaps Co
 llege\nSuzanne Marrs’ research centers on the American South and especia
 lly on Eudora Welty. She has lectured widely on Welty’s fiction\, servin
 g as consultant for the 1987 BBC documentary on the writer. In addition 
 to numerous articles\, Marrs has published The Welty Collection\, Welty 
 and Politics\, One Writer’s Imagination: The Fiction of Eudora Welty\, a
 nd the biography Eudora Welty. Recipient of the 1998 Phoenix Award for O
 utstanding Achievement in Eudora Welty Scholarship\, Professor Marrs is 
 currently Welty Foundation Scholar in Residence.\n\nRUSH REHM\nProfessor
  of Drama and Classics\; Artistic Director\, Stanford Summer Theater (SS
 T)\nRush Rehm has written extensively on Greek tragedy\, including Greek
  Tragic Theatre\, Marriage to Death\, The Play of Space: Spatial Transfo
 rmation in Greek Tragedy\, and Radical Theatre: Greek Tragedy and the Mo
 dern World. Rehm has taught several courses for Continuing Studies and t
 he Master of Liberal Arts program. Last year he directed “The Time of Yo
 ur Life: A William Saroyan Evening” and this past Summer he directed The
  Electra Festival for Stanford Summer Theater.

SUMMARY:Bio-X Seminar\, Advancing the Image-guidance Radiotherapy Paradig
 m: Investigations in Nanotechnology
UID:events_stanford_edu_21271
DESCRIPTION:Bio-X Frontiers in Interdisciplinary Biosciences Seminar.\n\n
 Speaker: Professor David Jaffray\nDepartment of Radiation Oncology\,\nUn
 iversity of Toronto\n\nAbstract: Recent advances in radiation therapy ha
 ve allowed clinical practice to push the limits of precision and accurac
 y through the use of image-based target definition\, computerized dose p
 attern optimization\, and image-guided daily delivery.  These technologi
 cal advances progress the actual execution of therapy in an asymptotic a
 pproach to the prescribed intention – a specified dose to the tumor and 
 acceptable dose to normal adjacent structures.  Further advances in radi
 ation therapy performance will require improvements in our ability to ta
 rget subtle soft-tissue structures in the body and would benefit from th
 e development of systems that offer targeted radiosensitization.  Nanote
 chnologies – old and new – offer substantial opportunity in this domain.
   In this presentation\, a brief overview of state-of-the-art radiation 
 therapy practice will be presented and will set the platform for two are
 as of research in nanotechnology: (i) liposomal contrast agent developme
 nt for image-guidance applications\, and\, (ii) gold-based nanotechnolog
 y approaches for radiosensitization.  The development and evaluation of 
 these systems using in-vitro and pre-clinical in-vivo models will be pre
 sented.  It is also emphasized that both of these developments leverage 
 the recent technological advances in radiation therapy and exploit exist
 ing paradigms as a strategy to accelerate their translation to the clini
 cal setting.\n

SUMMARY:Recent Developments in Laser Weapons and the Assessment of Their 
 Implications for Space Security
UID:events_stanford_edu_20889
DESCRIPTION:The term laser weapon implies the use of a laser as part of a
  so-called directed energy weapon (DEW). In that case\, the laser energy
  is causing the target damage. Military research led to the development 
 of experimental lasers with continuous output powers up to 140 kW in 196
 6 and two Megawatts in 1980. However\, those systems were huge and not p
 art of laser weapon systems.\n\nSince the 1980s the development in the m
 ilitary continued. Remarkably\, civilian lasers\, developed for industri
 al machining\, have now reached output powers\, which can be useful for 
 DEW applications\, too. Recently\, several prototypes came into operatio
 n. On the one hand\, there are industry-funded projects that use civilia
 n of-the-shelf industrial lasers. On the other hand\, there is governmen
 t-funded research\, which aims at high power laser systems. Major defens
 e companies in the United States and elsewhere are working on both track
 s.\n\nAnti-satellite (ASAT) laser engagements would be a revolutionary l
 aser application\, as they would in principle enable an option of attack
 s on satellites with only minor debris. At the moment\, attacking satell
 ites implies the use of missiles with kinetic or explosive warheads. A k
 inetic impact creates debris\, which would be harmful to the attacker's 
 space assets\, too. For that reason\, space faring nations are discourag
 ed from using kinetic energy attacks.\n\nThis fact enacts a kind of "nat
 ural" arms control. Lasers could change this situation\, if they are use
 d to heat up satellites just to a point where their electronics are dama
 ged or only to impair their sensors. Hence\, attacks on satellites would
  be more likely\, if laser DEW with anti-satellite capabilities are fiel
 ded in peacetime. In a time of crisis\, this would create additional pol
 itical instabilities\, as satellites are important early warning and rec
 onnaissance assets.  A deployment of laser ASATs could eventually lead t
 o an arms race in space. In order to make this scenario less likely arms
  control mechanism could be implemented.\n\nThis talk will focus on the 
 technological background of laser ASATs. After a short introduction into
  recent technological developments\, it will be examined whether current
  laser technology has the ability to endanger satellites. To achieve thi
 s\, a physics-based method has been devised to assess laser DEW engageme
 nts. Damage mechanisms as well as possible distinctions between industri
 al laser setups and laser weapons will be examined in greater detail.  O
 ptions for controlling laser ASATs and obstacles for the implementations
  of such controls will be introduced.\n\nSpeaker: Jan Stupl\, CISAC Post

SUMMARY:Stanford Breakfast Briefings: Long Life in the 21st Century
UID:events_stanford_edu_21081
DESCRIPTION:Presents: Laura Carstensen\nProfessor of Psychology\, Stanfor
 d University\n\nWe are approaching a watershed moment in human history. 
 In just a few years\, the number of Americans over 60 will surpass the n
 umber of children under 15. By the time our children reach old age\, liv
 ing to 100 will be commonplace.\n\nRather than perceiving this as good n
 ews\, most people respond to extended longevity with discussions about c
 oping with or halting the aging process. Yet\, to the extent that people
  arrive at old age mentally sharp\, physically fit\, and financially sec
 ure\, long-lived societies will thrive.\n\nProfessor Carstensen argues t
 hat among the most pressing needs of the modern world is the development
  of “longevity science.” Science and technology offer alternatives to ca
 tastrophic predictions about societies that are overburdened by frail el
 ders. Advances in science can form the basis of a culture in which we im
 prove quality of life at all ages\, and psychological science must be an
  essential part of that process.

 age"
UID:events_stanford_edu_21283
DESCRIPTION:Ronald Howard (Management Science and Engineering)\n\nRon How
 ard's main focus is on improving the quality of decisions\; life-and-dea
 th decision making\; and the creation of a coercion-free society. He is 
 the author of numerous publications\, including the recently released Et
 hics for the Real World\, which he co-authored with Clint Korver. \n\nAc
 cording to Howard\, for "good" reasons\, we often make small ethical com
 promises: We lie to a customer because our boss asked us to. We exaggera
 te our accomplishments on our resume to get an interview. We salvage a p
 romotion by taking credit for a subordinate’s work. Temptation blindside
 s us. And we make snap decisions we regret.\n\nMinor ethical lapses can 
 seem harmless. But they instill in us a hard-to-break habit of distorted
  thinking. Rationalizations drown out our inner voice\, and we make up t
 he rules as we go. We lose control of our decisions and become a victim 
 to the temptations and pressures of our situations. We taint our charact
 er. We sour business and personal relationships.\n\nHoward has been teac
 hing ethics for close to three decades and during that time he has been 
 a sought after advisor about ethical decisions in work and life.\n
