The centerpiece of CIHR's eServices' vision is a portal, ResearchNet, which will function as a virtual meeting place for the research community to obtain funding or information, and to actively share, collaborate, or complete administrative tasks. As it grows, ResearchNet will include: * A funding opportunities database containing application requirements, guidelines and research policies for programs across many funding organizations; * The ability for applicants to complete forms online or offline and submit them electronically, integrating with other forms, such as the Common CV; * An electronic peer review service which allows reviewers to view applications and submit reports online; * Searchable databases, such as the Canadian Research Information System which reports on funding from many funding agencies; and * The ability for researchers to receive decisions and to complete associated funding requirements online. CIHR's approach is to launch its electronic services in several phases. Throughout 2004, CIHR has been piloting the ResearchNet Peer Review service which has received a favourable response from the peer review committees that have used it. In December of 2004, CIHR launched its first pilot for Electronic Submission. With each subsequent phase, the eSubmission process will become more fully developed and integrated, incrementally simplifying the process until it is completely paperless. Phase 1: Electronic Submission of Registration As of December 15th, 2004, applicants for grants to be reviewed by the Behavioural Sciences and Neurosciences committees (BSA, BSB, BSC, NSA, NSB) will be required to access ResearchNet to prepare and electronically submit their registration package by the February 1st, 2005 grants registration deadline. For this pilot, these applicants will continue to use the CIHR Web forms and Common CV to complete the required registration components. In the Web forms, applicants to the committees listed above will be directed to ResearchNet to submit their registration package where they will be able to: * attach all required forms; * compile all components of the registration package, and; * submit electronically Paper copies of the registration package will not be required for those submitting grant application to be reviewed by the BSA, BSB, BSC, NSA and NSB committees. Phase 2: Electronic Submission of Application As of January, 2005, applicants for grants to be reviewed by Behavioural Sciences and Neurosciences committees (BSA, BSB, BSC, NSA, NSB) will be required to access ResearchNet in order to prepare and electronically submit their application package by the March 1st, 2005 grants application deadline. For this pilot, these applicants will continue to use the CIHR Web forms and the Common CV to complete the required application components. In the Web forms, applicants to the committees listed above will be directed to ResearchNet to complete their application package, where they will be able to: * reuse data from their e-registration; * attach all required forms and appendices; * compile all components of the application package, and * submit the application electronically. This pilot does not yet include the capacity for online institutional approval. Researchers must still provide one complete paper copy of their submitted application with the original signatures of applicants and institutional authorities. Additional copies of the application will not be required. Please note that only applicants who select a pilot committee as their first choice for peer review committee should apply using ResearchNet. If the committee your application is assigned to changes to or from a pilot committee in the course of the Peer Review process, the transfer will be handled by CIHR. For more information on the ResearchNet or CIHR's Electronic Submission Pilot Project, please contact Evie Gray, Deputy Chief Information Officer at egray@cihr-irsc.gc.ca or (613) 941-1298.

Blake, asserts that the federal government's focus on on-reserve programs is not in step with the needs of Aboriginal peoples and their socio-economic issues, especially in light of the fast growing trend of urban migration. Ongoing jurisdictional wrangling over this complex situation could yet give way, however, to intergovernmental cooperation through the Urban Aboriginal Strategy (UAS). The authors propose that, "the federal UAS may represent the first...serious steps but, to be successful, the federal government must pay careful attention to both how it plans and how much it spends in addressing the needs of urban Aboriginal peoples." Further, the authors believe the UAS provides a unique opportunity which would allow the federal government to fulfill its commitments through a shared strategic planning approach. As the authors note, though, "ensuring any strategic plan's relevance in the community it is meant to serve is also critical, as community-based agencies invariably become key delivery agents for government and the relevance of a plan to the community affects their willingness to become engaged in delivery." The authors conclude that federal-provincial-Aboriginal coordination, along with good planning and sufficient funding could provide a real catalyst for change for Canada's Aboriginal population. The publications in this series are intended to provide concise and timely overviews of public policy issues of concern to residents of the province. All SIPP publications are available online at www.uregina.ca/sipp, and printed copies are available at a cost of $5.00 per Public Policy Paper.

Thomas) Date: Thu Jan 6 00:49:00 2005 Subject: [Staff-list] Alive and well Message-ID: <47154.202.88.172.13.1104994136.squirrel@ursu.uregina.ca> Greetings URSU, As you know I am currently touring India where I am visiting relatives with my family. I would have written earlier but did not have access to my e-mail. Though I was in south western India the morning of the December 26th when the tsunami hit, I nor my family were in any direct danger. We flew the next morning as scheduled for Chennai (Madras) one of the worst hit cities in south eastern India. I got a chance to go and check out the immediate damage two nights ago in Chennai before I left. I went to Marina beach which was considered one of the world?s top beaches, the site of where the Tsunami hit. Things were definitely out of the ordinary. Large fishing boats were displaced and scattered 300 feet from the ocean. Most of the area was cordand off but I got to see and feel the sand on the beach which was transformed into such a fine powder with the power of the tsunami. The extent of the calamity hit me when walking around this large grave site. So many live were lost and so quickly. It is great to hear the University of Regina community is helping this needy cause. I want to thank everyone for the e-mails, thoughts and prayers over the past week in regards to the tsunami in the Indian Ocean. I am currently in the Silicon Valley of Asia, Bangalore, where I am away from any coasts and hopefully out of danger.

The narrative portions of the Bible are particularly intriguing: the tightly constructed texts omit many details that might be of interest to readers, yet even in this economical form there is considerable uncertainty about the intent of the authors and editors of the material. There is more narrative material about David (and poetry attributed to David) than there is about any other figure in the Hebrew Bible.

Everyone is welcome. Admission is Free! Date: Friday, January 14, 2005 Location: RC 050 Time: 3:00 - 4:00 p.m. Dr. Stephen McClatchie Associate VP (Academic)/Department of Music Performing Germany in Wagner's Die Meistersinger von N?rnberg There is a long tradition of identifying Wagner's Die Meistersinger von N?rnberg with Germany and Germany with Die Meistersinger, making the work more than just a music drama. The perennial German Question ("what is German?") underlies it, as it does all of Wagner's works, not simply by the proximity of German unification (1871) to its premiere (1868), but also through its resonance in Wagner's writings, the genesis of the work, and most especially its reception-notably, but not exclusively, in its adoption by the Nazis as part of the official program of the annual Reichsparteitag rally. Theodor Adorno regarded Die Meistersinger as "compromised by nationalistic thought"; Thomas Mann, writing after World War II, heard in its music something of "the old virulent evil" many had thought exorcized after the war. Significantly, the work itself thematicizes performance and many of its phenomenal performances are, in turn, used performatively throughout the history of the work and its reception to perform Germany itself. Die Meistersinger von N?rnberg has been instrumentalized to such an extent that a performance of Meistersinger has become a performance of the shifting fortunes of the German nation.

Franklin, Vice-President (Research), University of Saskatchewan Time: 3:00 p.m. - 4:00 p.m. Place: Room CL 126 Title: Satellite Remote Sensing of Forest Disturbance and Spatial Pattern over Large Areas and Long Time Periods Abstract: Effective forest management requires high-quality inventory and regular monitoring of natural landscapes at fine spatial scales. Typically, resource managers rely on a traditional vegetation inventory to meet these needs. As environmental issues increase in spatial and temporal complexity, the ability of a traditional vegetation inventory database to serve multiple purposes is more limited. Issues such as wildlife management, biodiversity conservation, and long-term forest productivity transcend political and land use boundaries, and often require the use of multiple information sources. Satellite remote sensing continues to develop as a viable, complementary source of environmental information capable of supporting the diverse information needs of modern ecosystem management. In this paper, the development of a multi-layered, multi-scale environmental database derived from satellite remote sensing and other geospatial tools is described with examples drawn from two of Canada's Model Forests (the Fundy Model Forest in southern New Brunswick and the Foothills Model Forest in Alberta). The power and flexibility of this database for supporting diverse management objectives across large, multi-jurisdictional lands is demonstrated in case studies involving (Ursus arctos), mountain caribou (Rangifer tarandus), and mountain pine beetle (Dendroctonus ponderosae) on the eastern slopes of the Canadian Rocky Mountains.

This Friday evening University of Regina Athletics will team up with the Canadian Red Cross Society and the loyal Cougar Basketball fans of Regina and surrounding area to raise funds in support of the ongoing tsunami relief efforts. Traditionally back in the days of GPAC (Great Plains Athletic Conference) hundreds of loyal Cougar fans jammed the Physical Activity Centre in support of their team. Now with a beautiful new facility (Centre for Kinesiology Health & Sport) that seats over twice as many people our expectations are that we can fill the building once again in support of this worthwhile cause. On Friday all walk up ticket sales for the men's and women's basketball games against the University of Manitoba Bisons as well as any donations provided by our patrons will go to the Canadian Red Cross Society's efforts in South East Asia. "We hope to see strong support from the university community for this initiative" says Craig Chamberlin, Dean of the Faculty of Kinesiology and Health Studies. "When a disaster such as the tsunami happens, it puts sports well in perspective. If we can use sport as a vehicle for creating resources to aid the Canadian Red Cross in their relief efforts, then we give added value to our sport events." Game times Friday night are 6:15 for the women's game with the men to follow shortly after 8:00 pm. Admission prices are $8.00 Adults, $5.00 Students and Seniors and $3.00 for Children. Tickets can be purchase over the phone by calling 585-4371 or in person on game night at the venue starting at 5:30pm. For more information please contact Athletic Coordinator Brad Woods at 5199. B.

All that is missing is an outdoor rink!! A number of people within the University community have approached me to support the idea of having an outdoor rink on the Lloyd Barbour Green! Many things have to happen for this to become a reality but, first and foremost, we need volunteers to help get the rink established. If we have enough support, I am confident that this "Rink of Dreams" can be built!! If you have experience in building "backyard" rinks or if you just want to help with flooding the rink; helping to maintain it; and having yet another way to beat the winter blues, please respond to this e-mail. I can't promise a Zamboni ride but I can promise you a lot of fun during the building and upon completion of the rink. Think of it - Lunch hour skating; hot chocolate and moonlit nights; stress relief at its finest!! Too cold, you say? Never!! All part of the glory of Saskatchewan in winter!! Remember, you don't have to be an expert to volunteer. You just need the interest; energy; and willingness to have fun. Thanks for considering this and I hope you can find the time to assist. It will be worth it. I don't know, but I think I once heard: "The University that skates together succeeds together!!"

Serbu was on campus and began snow clearing and removal operations on December 30. For the next 8 days through January 6: - a total of 1499 man hours were spent running a combination of bobcats, graders, loaders, tandem axle trucks and semi trucks - crews worked 24 hours on, 12 hours off, 24 hours on throughout that week on staggered shifts so that some equipment was in constant use clearing snow - a total of 2800 truck loads of snow were carted to the snow dump, in addition to the work done to push snow off roadways, sidewalks and parking lots - 2800 truck loads of snow translates to approximately 1.3 million cubic feet or about 20,000 to 25,000 tons of snow moved - the snow dump is now approximately 2/3 full Additional thanks goes to the Physical Plant Labour Crew, who came in during their holidays on Sunday January 2 and Monday January 3 to clear stairs and entrances to allow staff, students and the public easier and safer access to the campus buildings. ===================================== Brian McCrady, P.Eng.

TOWN-HALL FORUM - Examining the Future of Saskatchewan Riddell Theatre, Riddell Centre, University of Regina, 2:00 p.m. - 4:15 p.m. With brief introductions, panellists will stimulate a public debate and engage the audience on what the future holds for Saskatchewan.

Mary Ellen Turpel-Lafond, Former Constitutional Advisor, FSIN ? Bill Waiser, U of Saskatchewan BACKGROUND: Throughout 2005, Saskatchewan's 100th anniversary will be celebrated in various ways. Beyond celebration, this is also a time to reflect deeply on past accomplishments, challenges and shortcomings, as well as future possibilities. When it comes to public policy, this province has much to be proud of. In numerous areas, Saskatchewan has consistently influenced the national policy agenda and, on the economic front, Saskatchewan is wealthier today than it has ever been. At the same time, Saskatchewan has not lived up to the expectations of those most responsible for its creation in 1905. This was going to be the most populous province west of Ontario. But Saskatchewan's population, once the fastest growing, has been one of the slowest growing in the country since the Great Depression. Decades of increasing farm size and rural depopulation has sapped the vitality of hundreds of communities that were once the soul of the province. And some of the province's Aboriginal communities face among the worst job prospects and health outcomes in Canada. These issues demand our attention and examining the past and forecasting the future is what we propose in a seminar and town-hall forum at the University of Regina.

Dept. Seminar Message-ID: UNIVERSITY OF REGINA DEPARTMENT OF CHEMISTRY AND BIOCHEMISTRY SEMINAR NOTICE Speaker: Dr. Dunling Wang, Director Environmental Services Provincial Laboratory Saskatchewan Health Topic: "Drinking Water Safety and Water Testing" Date: THURSDAY, January 20, 2005 Time: 1:15 p.m. Place: CL-408 Abstract: Before drinking your next glass of water, have you ever thought how safe your water is? Water is the source of life and modern civilization has been grown up around water. Here in Canada clean water is taken for granted in cities and towns. Probably, only those who live in farming areas understand the importance of a quality water supply. There is limited fresh water supply on earth, and much of them has been contaminated one way another. Pathogens and carcinogens in these water sources threat the human lives every day. Due to source water pollution many types of pathogens and carcinogens have been introduced into our drinking water supplies. In this seminar, we will briefly look at several areas: 1) fresh water resources and source water contamination with pathogens and carcinogens; 2) water testing at the Provincial Laboratory; and 3) drinking water safety in Saskatchewan. Pathogens cause water-borne disease outbreaks. Bacteriological indicators have been used to identify and confirm possible water contamination as well as effectiveness of the drinking water treatment. Consumption of water that is contaminated with toxic chemicals may result in various health problems, including cancers. Water testing plays an important role in surveillance of source water quality and monitoring the effectiveness of drinking water treatment. Environmental Services at the Provincial Laboratory, a leading water testing lab in Saskatchewan, provide various water testing services to all types of clients and welcome for cooperative research opportunities. Long-term Safe Drinking Water Strategy aims to protect source water supply and to establish standards for both water treatment and distribution in order to provide citizens of this province with sustainable, reliable, safe and clean supply of drinking water.

A Critical Overview of Research and Practice?. This event is the inaugural lecture of the Centre for Social Justice and Anti-Oppressive Education of the Faculty of Education. All are invited to attend this public event at 3:30-5:00 p.m., Monday, January 31 in the Language Institute Theatre at no charge. Refreshments will be served. Students are warmly invited. Kevin Kumashiro, Ph.D., is the founding director of the Center for Anti-Oppressive Education in Washington D.C. His research, teaching, and activism are redefining the field of ?anti-oppressive education? which is generally understood as education that actively works against systemic disadvantage. This includes activity that responds to discrimination on the basis of race, class, gender, sexual orientation, ethnicity, ability, religion, and so forth. An excellent researcher and teacher, Dr. Kumashiro aims to trouble and problematize ?common sense? approaches to teaching while demonstrating the usefulness and the changes made possible by cutting?edge theories of anti-oppressive education. Some of his publications include Against Common Sense: Teaching and Learning Toward Social Justice and Troubling Education: Queer Activism and Anti-Oppressive Education. kumashiro@antioppressiveeducation.org.

This meeting is being organized to identify faculty members interested in the various aspects of Culture and Heritage. It will provide a forum to explore new possibilities for collaborative research. People whose research falls under the broad rubric of "Culture and Heritage" and who are interested in exploring the possibilities for collaboration, as well as new faculty in humanities disciplines, may find this meeting useful. Research in the humanities is often a solitary process, but almost all humanities research projects benefit at some stage from formal or informal collaboration. The Humanities Research Institute (HRI) invites anyone whose recent research in the humanities has benefited from collaboration--with colleagues or students on or off campus, in or out of one's own discipline--to propose a 5-minute informal presentation at this event.

Visual Arts RC050 : noon. ?Saskatchewan as a Modernist Project? Join us for this weeks Art For Lunch speaker BERNIE FLAMAN, Heritage Architect for the Province of Saskatchewan. In 2004, Bernie Flaman was invited by UNESCO to a meeting on Modern Heritage, one of several held worldwide to assist UNESCO in developing policy on 19th and 20th Century heritage and to engage in debate to discuss identification, protection, conservation and potential nomination of properties and sites of Modern Heritage. Bernie presented a paper entitled ?Saskatchewan as a Modernist Project? that focused on the shift from the nomadic culture of the first nations to the settlement culture on European and American pioneers. This happened quickly and through mechanized means, and springs from larger ideas of modernist philosophy as they related to the network of railways, mechanized agriculture and the modification of the natural landscape. The property put forward as symbolic of this important moment was the grain elevator. Bernie Flaman holds degrees in Art History and Architecture from the University of Saskatchewan and University of Toronto as well as spending time as a visiting student at the Southern California Institute of Architecture in Los Angeles. He is a registered architect and has been engaged in architectural practice in Germany, Toronto, Vancouver and Saskatoon, involved in the design of a variety of projects. These include the renovations and additions to the Vancouver and Edmonton airports, renovations to Stamps Place housing in Vancouver, an aboriginal health clinic in Bella Bella B.C. and a series of adult and youth correctional facilities. In 2001 he joined the University of Saskatchewan as a planner and began work on the College Building restoration, a $20 M rebuild of a nationally recognized heritage property. In April of 2003 he joined Culture, Youth and Recreation as Heritage Architect for the Province of Saskatchewan. He has presented papers at the 2000 and 2004 Docomomo conferences entitled ?The Airport as City Square? focusing on the Toronto, Winnipeg and Edmonton Airports and ?Influence and Transformation?, examining the Saskatchewan Power Corporation Headquarters in Regina. Also in 2004, he co-curated the exhibition ?Character and Controversy? at the Mendel Art Gallery in Saskatoon, examining the development of Modernist architecture in Saskatchewan. Recently, he has been invited by UNESCO to participate in policy development related to modern heritage in relation to World Heritage designations. Art for Lunch - bring your lunch!

Franklin, Vice-President (Research), University of Saskatchewan Time: 3:00 p.m. - 4:00 p.m. Place: Room CL 126 Title: Satellite Remote Sensing of Forest Disturbance and Spatial Pattern over Large Areas and Long Time Periods Abstract: Effective forest management requires high-quality inventory and regular monitoring of natural landscapes at fine spatial scales. Typically, resource managers rely on a traditional vegetation inventory to meet these needs. As environmental issues increase in spatial and temporal complexity, the ability of a traditional vegetation inventory database to serve multiple purposes is more limited. Issues such as wildlife management, biodiversity conservation, and long-term forest productivity transcend political and land use boundaries, and often require the use of multiple information sources. Satellite remote sensing continues to develop as a viable, complementary source of environmental information capable of supporting the diverse information needs of modern ecosystem management. In this paper, the development of a multi-layered, multi-scale environmental database derived from satellite remote sensing and other geospatial tools is described with examples drawn from two of Canada's Model Forests (the Fundy Model Forest in southern New Brunswick and the Foothills Model Forest in Alberta).

The University community has been extremely busy in Tsunami Relief efforts. On an individual level, many members of our community have already made donations to recognized charities as their way of showing support for the victims of the Tsunami. Many other initiatives are being considered but the following have already been completed or are about to be launched: - Residence students are organizing support for the Red Cross telephone bank in order to assist with the many calls that are coming in to pledge support for the relief effort - Residence students are planning a "coffee house" to run the first week of February and are busy collecting prizes and organizing acts for the event. - Luther and Campion chaplains held a fundraising lunch. - A "Sponsor a Child" campaign is being organized by June LeDrew in K & HS. Anyone wishing to help sponsor a child can contact June at june.ledrew@uregina.ca. - University of Regina Athletics donated all the "walk up" proceeds from last Friday's match to the relief effort. - URSU has been using the proceeds from the Owl Coat Check to offer support. - Co-op and Student Employment Services held a popcorn lunch with proceeds going to the relief effort. I am sure there are many other efforts which have not been listed above and which are taking place on campus. Should you have more information about any of the above or if you know of any programs which we could list as part of a future update, please let me know.

Dr. Perlson is a former Vice-President and Corporation Officer, and Vice President/Director of Research and Business Development for Millennium Chemicals Inc., a major chemical company in the United States. In those positions his responsibilities included organizational leadership and restructuring, operations and capital financing and budget control, long term planning and plan implementation, human resource management and development, contract negotiation and management and government affairs. He presently resides in Loveland, Ohio. Dr. Perlson graduated from Luther College (High School) in 1962 and completed his first year of university through Luther in 1963. He later earned a PhD in Chemistry from the University of Saskatchewan. He taught as a visiting instructor at the University of Illinois (Champaign-Urbana), and then entered the field of Research and Development. His experience, energy, business acumen and passion for excellence will ensure the College's continued success. "I am both delighted and honoured to be returning to Regina and the Province of Saskatchewan to serve as the President of Luther College," says Dr. Perlson. "The College has earned a well-deserved place of distinction in the province, with its long-standing tradition of providing a high-quality education in a nurturing, Christian setting. There is no better testimony to the excellence of the Luther College experience than the outstanding achievements of the College's alumni, and the support of the College's benefactors." Dr. Bruce Perlson will become the seventh president of Luther College, replacing Dr. Richard Hordern, who has served as President since October 1994. Prior to his appointment, Dr. Hordern was a professor of Religious Studies at Luther College, University of Regina Campus, for 17 years, primarily teaching courses on Christianity. He will return to teaching at Luther once his term as president is complete.

It includes a High School campus at 1500 Royal Street and a University campus at the University of Regina. Its distinguished alumni include five Rhodes Scholars and the only Saskatchewan-born recipient of a Nobel Prize. --------------------- David Barnard Office of the President University of Regina Regina, SK S4S 0A2 tel: 585-4383 fax: 585-5200 From Janet.Campbell at uregina.ca Thu Jan 20 11:13:25 2005 From: Janet.Campbell at uregina.ca (Janet Campbell) Date: Thu Jan 20 12:12:40 2005 Subject: [Staff-list] [research] - CIHR - Extension of the Operating Grants registration deadline Message-ID: --- Begin Forwarded Message --- Date: Thu, 20 Jan 2005 08:07:58 -0500 From: Francoise Hinca Subject: [Caura-net] Extension of the Operating Grants registration deadline Due to the short time between the announcement date of the results of the September 2004 Operating Grants Competition which is targeted for January 28, 2005, and the registration deadline for the March 2005 Operating Grants Competition which is on February 1, 2005, CIHR is extending the registration deadline for the March 2005 Operating Grants Competition by one week.

TOMI OVASKA Abstract The focus of macroeconomic inquiry has traditionally been on studying economic growth. The success or failure of any government initiated expenditure, revenue, or regulatory policy is commonly judged by the rate of the ensuing economic growth. This study (coauthored with Ryo Takashima of the West Virginia University) focuses on whether economic variables that figure prominently in current policy discussions, such as economic growth and economic freedom, are related to the self-reported levels of well-being of individuals. The econometric analysis attempts to uncover those economic factors that appear to be the most highly correlated with a country's success or failure in promoting its citizens' well-being. The cross-country sample includes 68 countries of diverse characteristics and uses averaged data for the 1990s.

Message-ID: <41F02429.984D1D4C@uregina.ca> New Exhibition Opening at the MacKenzie Art Gallery... Kenneth Lochhead:Garden of Light 1948-2002 January 29 to May 23, 2005 Organized by the MacKenzie Art Gallery with the support of Saskatchewan Arts Board,the City of Regina Arts Commission, the Canada Council for the Arts. You are invited: Opening Reception Friday, January 28, 2005 7:30 p.m. - artist will be in attendance Artist and Curator in Conversation Saturday, January 29, 2005 2:00 - 4:00 p.m. A member of The Regina Five, Kenneth Lochhead is celebrated nationally for his Colour-field stem paintings of the early 1960s. Yet little is known of his beginnings as a student in Philadelphia and Europe, an art school and gallery administrator, landscape and mural painter in Regina during the 1950s, or his subsequent abstract and representational work in Winnipeg, Toronto, and Ottawa, resulting in a critical, historical misunderstanding of iconographic and formal development. By considering all facets of his career, this exhibition will situate Lochhead as a surprising counter voice within the Modernist tradition. Kenneth Lochhead: Garden of Light 1948 ? 2002 is the first survey since 1977 and the first publication to examine the artist?s lifetime of work. The MacKenzie Art Gallery in Regina has organized national retrospectives of R. L. Bloore and Arthur McKay and is dedicated to researching, presenting and understanding the achievement and impact of The Regina Five. This large exhibition presents 140 paintings, watercolours, and drawings that span 30 stylistic phases, four regions, and six decades, and reveals the vital, regional inspiration for his nationally acclaimed art. Lochhead balances regional, pan-national, and international influence, believing ?place?, ?family?, and ?community? are essential to expression and national identity. The exhibition uncovers hidden metaphors and playful humour in the reductive, large-scale abstractions of the Regina years. Whether the Gatineau River near Ottawa where he was born, the Philadelphia harbour of his student years, or the tall prairie grass of Balgonie near Regina, ?place? has inspired him. His adventure into abstraction refined earlier iconography apparent in surrealist landscapes. -30- Jill Welke Communications MacKenzie Art Gallery -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

SaskTel will be the presenting sponsor of swimming and diving and the title sponsor of the SaskTel Stage at the SaskTel 2005 Canada Games Festival to be held at Wascana Park during the Games. "SaskTel is extremely pleased to be a presenting sponsor at the 2005 Canada Summer Games," said Minister Responsible for SaskTel Maynard Sonntag. "The legacy that will be created as a result of the 2005 Canada Summer Games and the University of Regina's Building Dreams and Futures campaign will provide benefits for years to come." SaskTel will also serve as the official provider of long distance, cellular, local phone, high-speed Internet, Web site, security monitoring, and information technology services of the Games. "SaskTel is proud to be the official provider of telecommunications services for the Games," said President and CEO of SaskTel Robert Watson. "Not only does this sponsorship allow SaskTel to contribute to the enhancement of sport within the community, it will allow SaskTel to showcase our world-class telecommunications services to all involved in the Games." The 2005 Canada Summer Games is one of the fundraising priorities of the University of Regina's Building Dreams and Futures campaign. The campaign is raising $10 million to be directed to the Games. "SaskTel's generous contribution to the Building Dreams and Futures campaign demonstrates community leadership," said University of Regina President David Barnard. "The Games will give the University, and the Regina community as a whole, an opportunity to showcase our hospitality, facilities, volunteers, and programs to the entire country. We encourage other community-minded corporations to follow SaskTel's lead and get involved with the campaign and the Games." The 2005 Canada Summer Games will take place from August 6 to 20. The Games will attract 4,500 athletes, 12,000 visitors, and nearly 6,000 volunteers to Regina and surrounding communities. "The Games is built on partnerships," said 2005 Canada Summer Games Chief Operating Officer John Lee. "SaskTel's contribution is a prime example of the kinds of partnerships that will ensure the Games is a great success." Building Dreams and Futures is an ambitious campaign to raise funds for five priority areas of the University of Regina: 2005 Canada Summer Games, student support, research support, Centre for Kinesiology, Health and Sport, and emerging priorities. The projects and activities planned for those areas will cost a total of $75 million. To date, 71 per cent of that goal has been raised from a variety of funding sources, including donations from individuals, corporations, and community organizations.

Of his many notable achievements, he is particularly well known in Saskatchewan for initiating the Emma Lake Professional Artists' Workshops in 1955, which brought about a renaissance in Saskatchewan art and helped propel it onto the international scene. He invited such well-known art world figures as Jack Shadbolt, Joseph Plaskett, Clement Greenberg, Kenneth Noland, and Jules Olitski. He was also a member of the 'Regina Five' group of painters who exhibited at the National Gallery in 1961 and who were considered to be at the forefront of Canada's modern art movement at that time. Since leaving Regina in 1964 he has taught painting at the School of Art in Manitoba (1964-73), York University (1973-74), and the University of Ottawa (1975-89). He retired in 1990. Lochhead's works have been exhibited and collected internationally and he has been a member and chair of the Art Advisory Committee of the National Capital Commission in Ottawa. In 1971 he was presented with the Order of Canada. --- Saskatchewan Council for Archives and Archivists All welcome, bring your lunch!

The University has engaged MCW Custom Energy Solutions to deliver a comprehensive Campus Energy Audit and Feasibility Study for campus facilities. The Campus Energy Audit will include development and feasibility of proposed Energy Efficiency Measures for implementation. The aim of these measures is to reduce energy and water consumption while improving campus infrastructure and raising comfort levels for occupants. The first stage of the program, the Campus Energy Audit, is now underway and will be completed by May 2005. Members of the MCW Energy Audit Team will be conducting walk-throughs of all buildings during this time period. These Team members will be identified with name tags as shown in the document: http://www.uregina.ca/physplnt/UREAudit.pdf The University and MCW will endeavour to minimize disruptions during this period. The University of Regina Energy Management Team will be working with MCW and all stakeholders to ensure the coordination of work is done in the most effective manner. Energy efficiency will be achieved through upgrades to building heating, ventilation and air conditioning systems, modifications to lighting and electrical systems, and improved water use.

This is an added security measure to ensure cards are not compromised during shipping. This is a mandatory procedure and must be done prior to the use of any new card, or card renewal, that applies to the University's purchasing card program. All Visa Purchasing Card cardholders are asked to e-mail "purchase@uregina.ca" a 9 digit numeric password that Supply Management Services can securely store in our database, and to also forward to the CIBC Visa Purchasing Card Centre. Your password can be any combination of numbers you choose. Existing cardholders will not have to activate their current card, but any renewal cards that come will have to have a 9 digit numeric password for activation to occur. Our on-line application form now has instructions for card activation and also a line for any new applicants to put in the required password.

Please join us tomorrow evening (Thursday 27 January) for the second instalment in the Faculty of Arts' "Coffee House Controversies" Winter 2005 series. Beginning at 7:30 pm in Chapters Bookstore at the Southland Mall, Dr George Marshall of the Department of Philosophy at Campion College will present a talk entitled "Angels and Reason." It is sometimes claimed that angels are nothing but the product of silly superstition and, thus, that the very idea of angels is irrational. This session attempts to show that the idea of angels is anything but irrational and that it can serve as a starting point for speculative philosophy. We hope you will be able to attend tomorrow and enjoy 40 minutes of informal, stimulating, and controversial discussion.

Len Vandervaart, dean of the Division of Arts with MHC, said the agreement will help the College fulfil its mandate to offer a variety of university-transfer options to its community. "Many of our students come from Saskatchewan," said Vandervaart. "With this agreement, they will be able to use the credits they have accumulated here toward completing a university degree in their home province." Robin Fisher, dean of the U of R's Faculty of Arts, said the agreement will help the Arts faculty meet two of its objectives. "First, it is one of a number of programs that will help us grow, in keeping with our goal of a 20 per cent increase in the next five years," said Fisher. "Second, it will make a university education more accessible to students from an underserved area of Saskatchewan." Under the agreement, students completing at least their first year, and up to their first two years at Medicine Hat College with an acceptable grade point average in appropriate university-transfer courses - and who meet the required level of proficiency in the English language for entrance to the University of Regina - can transfer up to two years' worth of credits towards any Faculty of Arts degree at the University of Regina. Medicine Hat College is a public, post-secondary institution serving the residents of southeastern Alberta and neighbouring regions such as southwestern Saskatchewan. It offers programs across a broad curriculum that includes arts, sciences, career preparation, industrial training and upgrading, as well as community and general education programs. More than 14,000 students have attended Medicine Hat College to fulfil their post-secondary requirements since 1965. For further information see http://www.mhc.ab.ca/. The University of Regina, with more than 12,000 part-time and full-time students, provides a broad range of undergraduate and graduate degrees through its nine faculties and 23 departments. In addition, 12 research centres and institutes enhance a dynamic and growing research program. The University's Faculty of Arts, with about 3,800 students, is founded on a strong belief in the efficacy of the liberal arts and a commitment to social issues. The faculty is large and diverse and offers many different degree programs at the undergraduate and graduate levels.

Enright is Editor-at-Large for Border Crossings magazine and University Research Professor in Art Criticism in the Department of Fine Art and Music at the University of Guelph. The lecture is on Sunday, February 13th, 2005 at 2:00 pm in the University Theatre, Riddell Centre on the main campus of the U of R. The lecture is open to the public and admission is free. Titled "Beauty and The Beastly: Framing Contemporary Art and Photography," Enright's talk is an inquiry into our expanding notion of the beautiful. In considering how we got to where we are in our acceptance of what we consider art, Professor Enright begins with classical notions of the beautiful, moves on through romanticism, Enlightenment rationalism and into the modem and postmodern period, where everything seems possible and nothing is unimaginable. Prior to Enright's appointment at Guelph, he was a freelance writer and broadcaster with CBC radio and television, specializing in cultural journalism. In that role he contributed to a number of network shows, including The Journal, As It Happens, Sunday Morning, Arts National and Stereo Morning. Professor Enright is also a regular contributor to the arts pages of the Globe & Mail. Professor Enright is recognized as one of the finest interviewers in the country. In the pages of Border Crossings, and in numerous books and catalogues, he has conducted hundreds of interviews with some of the world's most important artists. For his writing on art and film, he has been nominated 14 times by the National and Western Magazine Awards Foundations, winning 4 gold and 2 silver medals.

To provide a forum in which the advantages of collaborative research can be discussed, the HRI, with the assistance of the Office of the Vice-President (Research & International), has convened this meeting of the Culture and Heritage Research Thematic Area. Speakers whose humanities research projects have benefited from various kinds of collaboration will offer a number of short, informal presentations that will suggest the broad scope of the Culture and Heritage Thematic Area and, in particular, illuminate the possibilities for and advantages of collaborative research within it. Speakers have been asked to address a non-specialist audience and to keep their presentations short (5-7 minutes) People on and off campus whose research falls under the broad rubric of "Culture and Heritage" and who are interested in exploring the possibilities for collaboration will find this meeting useful. New faculty and senior students in humanities disciplines are particularly encouraged to attend.

We are calling on the Government to legislate a two year- FULLY-FUNDED- tuition fee freeze. During this period we ask that they look at a long term, sustainable plan for post-secondary education in Saskatchewan.

As an artist he is perhaps best known for his eccentricity. In the 1960's, following a series of mystical dreams and visions, he changed his name from Patrick Charles Kemball to ManWoman and began a mission to reclaim and restore the ancient swastika as a symbol of peace, strength and good fortune. Over the years he has done extensive research on the subject and covered his body with more than 200 swastika tattoos. He has published a book called "Gentle Swastika: Reclaiming the Innocence" as well as an autobiography, "Homesick for Eternity". His passion and commitment to his art and spirituality became the subject of a documentary in 1975. ManWoman sees himself as a shaman and the role of the artist as a "doorway to the sacred." He says, "Art is about looking into the deep silence inside, the mystery of existence, and flowing with it as it floods my consciousness. I see this as my ultimate duty to the community of humankind." ManWoman has been called everything from a "visionary beatnik priest" and "transformational Pop artist" to a heretic. What is undisputable is his profound sincerity.

The foundation's contribution of $100,000 US to the Building Dreams and Futures campaign will help establish the Aboriginal Co-operative Education Program and Employment Services on campus by funding staff positions for two years. "The GE Foundation's mandate is to support innovative and meaningful educational programs," said Elyse Allan, President and CEO, GE Canada. "Programs of this kind are essential in strengthening access to quality education for all students in Canada." The Aboriginal Co-operative Education Program and Employment Services is one of the first of its kind in Canada. Its goal is to support aboriginal students' academic and career success and maximize their employment prospects, as well as to increase the labour pool of highly qualified graduates. The program will provide customized services to help students successfully transition to and from University, develop job search skills they will use throughout their working lives, and gain career-related experience through co-operative work terms and summer employment positions. "On behalf of the University community, I would like to thank the GE Foundation for this generous donation," said Ron Byrne, Associate Vice President of Student Affairs. "The Aboriginal Co-operative Education Program and Employment Services will help the University of Regina attract and retain aboriginal students, and will help these students develop the skills they need to succeed in their education and careers." One of the main priorities of the Building Dreams and Futures campaign is raising funds for student support, with a special focus on aboriginal students. "The campaign's priority to raise funds to support aboriginal students will offer opportunities for a growing number of students to take the lead in all sectors of the economy." said Garry Huntington, chair of the Building Dreams and Futures campaign. "I commend the GE Foundation for the great leadership it has shown in making this donation, and I encourage other organizations to follow its example and get involved in the campaign." The GE Foundation, the philanthropic organization of the General Electric Company, works to strengthen educational access, equity, and quality for disadvantaged youth globally; and supports GE employee and retiree giving and involvement in GE communities around the world. In 2003, the GE Family contributed $140 million to community and educational programs, including $50 million from the GE Foundation. For information, visit http://www.gefoundation.com. Building Dreams and Futures is an ambitious campaign to raise funds for five priority areas of the University of Regina: student support, research support, 2005 Canada Summer Games, Centre for Kinesiology, Health and Sport, and emerging priorities. The projects and activities planned for those areas will cost a total of $75 million. To date, 71 per cent of that goal has been raised from a variety of funding sources, including donations from individuals, corporations, and community organizations.

JOSEPH GARCEA DEPARTMENT OF POLITICAL SCIENCE, UNIVERSITY OF SASKATCHEWAN. Wednesday, February 23, 2005 ? Time: 10:30 a.m. - 12:00 p.m. ABSTRACT: Three issues have arisen in planning and managing immigration in the province of Saskatchewan. The first is that Saskatchewan?s governmental and non-governmental stakeholders involved in immigration tend to focus primarily on problem identification and policy and program formulation and do not devote sufficient attention to the institutionalization of efficient and effective implementation systems and strategies. The second is that, insofar as they devote attention to policy and program formulation, the focus is modest and there is insufficient linkage between immigration policy goals, population policy goals, labour market training policy goals, social development goals, and economic development policy goals. The third is that, notwithstanding all the lip-service paid to intergovernmental and public-private partnerships today, in many policy sectors (including immigration), they remain relatively underdeveloped and underutilized. Although the principal focus of this presentation is on the efforts of Saskatchewan?s governmental and non-governmental stakeholders to formulate and implement immigration policies and programs, the presentation will also provide a general assessment of the extent to which this is a fundamental and pervasive problem in governance and public management today, not only in Saskatchewan but also elsewhere at various levels of governance. Joseph Garcea is an Associate Professor in the Department of Political Studies at the University of Saskatchewan, where he teaches courses in public policy analysis, public management, Canadian federalism, and local governance. His research interests include federal-provincial relations in immigration, provincial immigration and integration policies and programs, and federal citizenship policies. ______________________________________________ This lecture will take place in the SIPP Window Room, Gallery Building ?

The Saskatchewan Institute of Public Policy?s 29th Public Policy Paper entitled ?This ?New Europe?: Historic Policy Opportunities for Canada?, authored by Dr. Karl Henriques, asserts that this new European constellation has a longstanding inclination for closer cooperation with Canada as a values-sharing, strategic and rule-promoting international partner. A key suggestion made in this paper is that, while Canada is not a major economic or military actor, Canada is far from being a weak international power. In fact, partnering more closely with the EU -- without taking a reckless or disrespectful approach towards our good and important American neighbours -- could significantly increase our capacity to manoeuvre at the various international, multilateral, and bilateral levels in political and economic policy matters. The author concludes that, ?The ability to have more than one economic and political option available in decision-making is the basis for greater control over one?s political and economic future. While the idea of creating options ?particularly the European option ? for our foreign policy is certainly not new, what is worth seriously reflecting on is the extent to which Europe is becoming a willing and able global partner.? The publications in this series are intended to provide concise and timely overviews of public policy issues of concern to residents of the province.

The PLAYWRIGHTS READING SERIES WINTER 2005 hosted by the DEPARTMENT OF THEATRE, UNIVERSITY OF REGINA. in partnership with THE SASKATCHEWAN WRITERS GUILD with the assistance of the PLAYWRIGHTS GUILD OF CANADA and the CANADA COUNCIL FOR THE ARTS will feature Paul Thompson On February 7, 2005 at 8:00 p.m. in the University's Shu-Box Theatre Governor General's Award winner Paul Thompson will be reading from his work for the theatre. Mr. Thompson has been producing original theatre for over thirty-five years. During his tenure at Theatre Passe Muraille, where he was Artistic Director from 1970 - 1982, he developed an approach to the making of plays, referred to as "collective creations," which has had a profound effect on the Canadian Theatre movement. Collaborating with a talented group of fellow artists, Mr. Thompson created a large body of work focussed on recognisable Canadian experiences, Canadian characters and Canadian stories. That fertile period of work produced over twenty-five plays that were created and performed in six provinces and one territory. A representative cross-section of these plays includes his groundbreaking work The Farm Show, where actors took their search for real people to a whole new level of experience; 1837: The Farmers' Revolt, in which history was brought vividly to life and we reclaimed an essential part of our national heritage; Maggie and Pierre, a one-person treatment of one of our most continuing political obsessions that played to sold-out houses across the country; and Les Maudits Anglais, where a group of English-speaking actors went into a separatist Montreal theatre and created a satiric response to this controversy in bad French - and they loved it. Mr. Thompson extended his collaborative approach on many of these shows to include people who were or would become major writers: Rick Salutin, Carol Bolt, Linda Griffiths, Ted Johns, Rudy Wiebe, Claude Roussin, John Gray, Connie Kaldor and Maria Campbell. Ms. Campbell's contribution is particularly noteworthy because of the benchmark production of Jessica which opened in Saskatoon with Tantoo Cardinal and Graham Greene. After Theatre Passe Muraille, Mr. Thompson worked as a freelance director in England, Argentina, and the Republic of Georgia. He has also worked with major literary figures such as Michael Ondaatje, Leon Rooke, and Timothy Findley, with whom he developed the extraordinary Elizabeth Rex. Most recently he devised an epic collective The Outdoor Donnellys which took over the whole town of Blyth and ran for three sold-out seasons. His work has received Dora Awards, Chalmer's Awards, and a Governor General's Award and he has been honoured at the Toronto International Author's Festival. This reading is sponsored in part by the Saskatchewan Playwrights Centre and open to the public free of charge. If you require further information, please contact Dr. Mary Blackstone at 585-5517.

Time: 10:30 - noon Gail Russell will examine the thesis that structural barriers to access impede the delivery of social services to marginalized families in Saskatchewan. The discussion will identify the structures, processes and relationships that contribute to the barriers, in the hope of increasing awareness of how systems and structures create barriers to access. Specifically, Russell will discuss how the underlying beliefs, attitudes and assumptions of the service providers is hindering their ability to make changes to the structures in place. Enhanced communication and problem solving at the management level cannot address the structural issues that contribute to continuing barriers to access to social services for marginalized families in Saskatchewan. Rather, the underlying beliefs, historical social structures, and assumptions held by society need to be made explicit to create equity for marginalized families in Saskatchewan. About our Speaker: Gail Russell has been with the Government of Saskatchewan for approximately twelve years in various policy and consultation roles. For the past eighteen months, Ms Russell has been the senior policy analyst for the Early Childhood Development Unit, a federally funded, interdepartmental (Health, Learning, Community Resources and Employment) initiative. She has also been involved in developing policies in a number of areas, including Treasury Board Branch of Saskatchewan Finance, Saskatchewan Industry and Resources, and Saskatchewan Health. Ms Russell has spent many years working with third party stakeholders and communities on social policy development and strategic planning. ______________________________________________ This presentation will take place in the SIPP Window Room, Gallery Building - College Avenue Campus, University of Regina.

Today's real world databases are susceptible to noisy, missing, and inconsistent data due to their typically large sizes, often several terabytes or more. All of these data problems can easily generate duplicate records that can easily provide misleading information and cost businesses a great deal of money. Increasingly, large organizations are acquiring additional data from outside databases. This information includes demographic, econometric, competitive and purchasing trends. To provide cleaner data and more complete information in the data warehouse (or operational databases), a general approach to de-duplicate the data has to be applied before it is loaded to the data warehouse. The purpose of the data warehouse is to provide the historical information that is locked in the operational databases and to combine all the information obtained through various disparate, often external, sources of data. Consequently, the data duplication problem often results after multiple sources (or contact lists) are merged. A novel algorithm (called Matchbox) is implemented that investigates a version of the problem where one of the contact lists is of much higher quality (the primary list) and value than the other lists (secondary lists). Nicknames are often used instead of standard names, and the name field often holds the names of groups of people instead of a single name. For simplicity, the scope of this study was limited to groups of 2 people, i.e. husband and wife. Matchbox is based on conditional rules (or C-rules) for matching records based on names, addresses, name aliases, and spousal units. As indicated in other studies, the probability of cleaning 100% of the errors from data is very slim. Matchbox is aimed to create an automatic method that can efficiently find a high percentage of potential duplicates. In order to attain higher accuracy, some human interaction was also allowed, but it took more time. All the experimental tests were performed on real world data and the results are compared with the Sorted Neighborhood Method (SNM). Unlike SNM, Matchbox provides better precision in terms of matches found and does so in less time.

Processing evidence is a fundamental task in Bayesian networks. Evidence means that some information about the values of a set E of variables is obtained, whether that it is known the exact values such as E = e, or that the variables do not take specific values like E e. Given evidence, say E = e, several techniques have been proposed for processing queries of the form p(X | E = e), where X is a set of variables. These techniques, however, have two disadvantages. First, the construction of a new probability table, called an evidence potential, is required. Second, the evidence potential is multiplied with the probability tables stored in the knowledge base. In this talk, we propose that the select operator from relational databases be adopted for incorporating evidence in Bayesian networks. We first show that the select operator can be applied on probabilistic relations and not only traditional relations. As the name suggests, the select operator selects a subset of rows from a probabilistic relation that satisfy the select condition. Our main result is that incorporate evidence with the select operator is equivalent to the approach with evidence potentials. This approach does not involve the construction of new evidence potentials nor the associated computational costs of multiplying the evidence potentials into the knowledge base. The select operator also provides unified treatment of hard and soft evidence in Bayesian networks.
