1. Rice University Citizens Police Academy Class # 6
Class # 6 of the Rice University Citizens Police Academy still has some remaining spots available. Enrollment has been very active for this class and we are looking forward to another enjoyable session.
If you want to know what it takes to be a peace officer, learn how to dust for and lift fingerprints from a scene, what it feels like to make a traffic stop, can I shoot a gun and hit the target, can I make the right decision in a high stress situation, then this is the class you will not want to miss.
We will meet each Monday evening beginning January 25, from 6:00 – 9:00 pm at the Rice University Police Training Center. CPA Class # 6 will end on April 19 with a class graduation ceremony.
Review the attached information then go to http://www.rupd.rice.edu/cpa to enroll in the class.
We hope to see you in January !

2. Reminder about library books
To all undergraduate students:
Please remember to return your library materials before you leave campus following final
exams. To check for books charged to your account, due dates, fines, recalls, and to
renew books online, go to:
http://alexandria.rice.edu/uhtbin/cgisirsi/x/FONDREN/0/122/2910
NOTE: Access your account using your Net ID and Password. We no longer use library PINs
for Rice accounts.
If you use the online renewal feature, please verify that the books listed on your
account are in your possession.
The last due date for the fall semester is 12/16/2009, so books due before that date may be renewed online now. Fines for overdue materials will accrue during the holidays, even on days the library is closed. Beginning Friday, 12/11/2009, you may borrow books for a 28-day loan period or renew books for another 28 days.
The online renewal feature will not work for the following:
- if you have fines over $5
- if you have any overdue materials or wait until after the due date
- if there is a hold or recall on any item (these will need to be
returned to the library)
- if any items have reached the renewal limit (10 renewals per item)
After renewing, check your account to verify the change in due dates.
If you have any questions about your library account, contact the
Circulation Department staff at 713-348-4021 or email circ@rice.edu.

Although we have a number of positions on the production team covered, we still don't have a director and vocal/music director for this production. Anyone interested in either of these positions can e-mail Jacob Lindse at jal3@rice.edu. Qualified candidates should have previous experience in
that position, preferably at the college level. Applications will be due by 12:00 pm on Monday, November 16th.
If we're unable to appoint directors at this time, the committee has decided that we'll be putting on a David Mamet or Tom Stoppard play. We'll be announcing production and audition information about whatever show we end up going with at the end of this semester.
Thanks a lot,
Jacob Lindsey

We will teach the undergraduate students everything they need to know for Investment Banking, Sales & Trading, and general finance interviews. The seminar will take place at the Jones School in room 218. I will be assisted by Rob Meister, a senior undergrad who worked with me last summer as an analyst at JPM.
Feel free to pass this email on to everyone interested. RSVP by signing up at the following link:

All you have to do is:
1. Go to http://rice-linguistics.sona-systems.com/
a. Sign in (sign up as a participant, if you are not already registered in Experimetrix)
b. Select the 'Pantos Linguistics' study
c. Pick an available time slot

-------------------------------------------------------------
3. ENGI 150
I will be teaching ENGI 150 again this spring. This fall, I had full enrollment (with a waiting list), and I hope to have a full batch of students this spring. The course is offered Tues and Thurs, 10:50-12:05.
The course focuses on learning important engineering skills, such as engineering design, communication, etc. This semester, I had MECH, ELEC, CEVE, CHBE and BIOE students (mostly MECH and ELEC students). Consider recommending this course to all engineering first-year students.
The course uses problem-based learning (PBL), a technique where students research and design solutions to authentic engineering problems. About 1/3 of the class time is “lecture” – see the list of topics from fall 2009. The remainder of class time is devoted to team PBL meetings, where the students are working together to solve problems. This fall, we did three problems: E-waste Disposal, Mathematical Model of Energy Loss through “Old” and “New” College Windows, and Drug Delivery.
Attached is a flier. Please let me know if you have any questions.
Thanks, Ann Saterbak

The Latin American Initiative

in conjunction with the

cordially invites you to attend
a lecture on
The Mexico-U.S. Border
Through the Lens of a Screenwriter
with
Guillermo Arriaga
Writer and Director
Thursday, November 12, 2009
3:00 pm
Kelly International Conference Facility
James A. Baker III Hall
Rice University
Guillermo Arriaga officially arrived on the international cinema scene in 2000 with the release of “Amores Perros.” The Mexico City native was working in television and had already made a name for himself as a novelist and college professor when his trilogy of film collaborations with director Alejandro González Iñárritu debuted to critical acclaim. Arriaga’s literary roots, boldly complex narrative structures, and willingness to explore issues and ideas that tap into our deepest fears helped raise the bar for Hollywood films. “Amores Perros” catapulted Arriaga and Iñárritu to international success with an Oscar nomination for Best Foreign Film and established a working relationship between the writer and director that would play out for two more feature films: “21 Grams” (2004) and “Babel” (2006). “Babel” received seven Golden Globe nominations, including Best Motion Picture and Best Screenplay, and was nominated for several Academy Awards. Arriaga’s next work was the screenplay for Tommy Lee Jones’ “The Three Burials of Melquiades Estrada” (2005), a story of justice and redemption set in the dusty, lawless deserts along the U.S.-Mexico border. The script was honored with the Best Screenplay Award at the Cannes Film Festival. In 2007, the film adaptation of his book “El Búfalo de la Noche” (The Night Buffalo), directed by Jorge Hernández Aldana, premiered at the Sundance Film Festival. In 2008, Arriaga added film director to his accomplishments with “The Burning Plain,” which premiered at the Venice and Toronto film festivals.
RSVP by fax to 713.348.5993, by e-mail to bipprsvp@rice.edu or on the Web at

5. Police Officer Hiring Process
On November 20 and 21, 2009, the University Police Department will host an assessment center as part of the selection of three new Police Officers. An assessment center has been in use as a part of the hiring process for nearly fifteen years. It was chosen because it provides a fair method for determining the most qualified applicant for the position of Police Officer.
A critical component of a good assessment center is the quality of those observing behaviors and judging the performance, the assessors. In addition to the vital part assessors play, role players also have great impact on the success of this process. We are asking the support and assistance of the community by participating as either an assessor or role player. If you are interested in being involved in either of these capacities, please respond by email to this message.
The schedule is as follows:
November 20, 5p-630p, Assessor/Role Player Training and Orientation
November 21, 8a-3p, Assessment Center
-------------------------------------------------------------------
6. Increased service on the Texas Medical Center/ BRC route - Starting Monday, November 9, 2009

5. Police Officer Hiring Process
On November 20 and 21, 2009, the University Police Department will host an assessment center as part of the selection of three new Police Officers. An assessment center has been in use as a part of the hiring process for nearly fifteen years. It was chosen because it provides a fair method for determining the most qualified applicant for the position of Police Officer.
A critical component of a good assessment center is the quality of those observing behaviors and judging the performance, the assessors. In addition to the vital part assessors play, role players also have great impact on the success of this process. We are asking the support and assistance of the community by participating as either an assessor or role player. If you are interested in being involved in either of these capacities, please respond by email to this message.
The schedule is as follows:
November 20, 5p-630p, Assessor/Role Player Training and Orientation
November 21, 8a-3p, Assessment Center
-------------------------------------------------------------------

1. Competition Pool Opens Monday
This email is meant to serve as an official announcement that the Barbara and David Gibbs Recreation and Wellness Center Competition Pool will open on Monday, November 2nd at 6 AM. This new heated swimming pool will provide the Rice community with ample opportunity for both recreational and competitive swim events. Visit the Web site at: http://www.ruf.rice.edu/~ricerec/aquatics/schedule.html for more details on open hours and our expanded lap swim schedule.
Please note that during the opening week, we will host two major swim events. The first is the Rice Recreation Center Intramural Swim Meet, which will take place on Wednesday, November 4th from 8 PM-10 PM. While the event will require the use of several swimming lanes, there will still be some lanes reserved for lap swim.
The second event is a home swim meet for the Rice Women's Varsity Swim Team. This event will take place on Friday, November 6th and Saturday, November 7th and will require that the Competition Pool be closed to Rec Center swimmers at 3 PM on Friday and all day Saturday. However, the heated recreation/leisure pool will be open from 12PM-6 PM on both days.
The indoor pool that is housed in the old recreation center will remain open until 7:30 PM on Saturday, October 31st. It will be closed on Sunday, November 1st so that we can prepare to open the Competition pool.
We hope that you enjoy the new aquatic facility and we look forward to seeing you soon!

6. RICE INVESTMENT SOCIETY SPEAKER SERIES
Rice Investment Society is starting a speaker series that is bringing
successful financial professionals from the Houston area to Rice. The
aim of these events is to help undergrads who are interested in
finance learn about the industry, discuss various career paths, and

fairly informal and after the speaker talks about his background and
career choices, the remainder of the event will be discussion based
and will rely on questions from the audience.
The first speaker will be J. Cole Dawson, the President of the Houston
division of Telemus Capital Partners. Prior to joining Telemus, Mr.
Dawson served as Senior Vice President-Private Banking & Investment
Group at Merrill Lynch. He is also a former Vice President-Private
Client Group at Goldman Sachs, and has served as a financial analyst
in Investment Banking at Salomon Brothers.
The event will be held on Nov. 10th at 8:00PM (Location TBA). We are
trying to gauge interest so if you think you might attend please email

2. Final IT Security Awareness Month Presentation:
Friday, October 30, 2009
noon - 1:00 p.m.
Hanszen Classroom 207
If your credit is ruined by a thief who steals your information and runs up thousands of dollars of debt, it can jeopardize your future employment opportunities, result in declined home and car loan applications, and raise your interest rates.
Most consumers do not want to consider these threats because purchasing convenience and speed are in high demand these days, even though fast and easy financial transactions increase the risk of credit information loss and theft.
Officers Brucus Owdley and Jacob Web from the Financial Crimes Unit of the Houston Police Department discuss how to protect your credit information, how to monitor your credit reports, and the steps to take if your credit information is stolen.
Bring your lunch and join us above the Hanszen College Commons; no RSVPs required.
-----------------------------------
3. Rice Shuttle Survey
Attention Rice Shuttle riders!
Have you ever waited for a shuttle for more than ten minutes? Have
you done so standing in Houston's rain or heat?
Have you ever wondered where the shuttle was and whether it would be
faster just to walk to your destination?
Wouldn't you like a way to find out where the shuttles are without
staring down the street?
We are a Senior Design team working on a solution to your problem: a
Bus Tracking System for Rice. This system would track the locations
of the shuttles, determine their route, and provide this information
back to you, the user.
Please take our survey at the following link to help us design the
best user experience possible.

4. Rice Service Council
Want to make an impact on the culture of service at Rice?
Applications are now being accepted for the Rice Service Council.
Rice is a small campus that has several effective student organizations that promote service and advocate for social responsibility. However, often there is a lack of communication amongst these campus groups, which can limit their creativity, resources and impact. As a Rice volunteer, you have the opportunity to have a tremendous influence on the culture of service on campus by becoming a member of the new Rice Service Council. Working with other student leaders, you will not only represent your service organization but also increase collaborative efforts both on and off campus.
The Rice Service Council has four different initiatives:
1. Create a forum in which Student Service Organization leaders can learn, share, and benefit from each other
2. Coordinate a campus wide annual Volunteer Recognition Event
3. Increase Leadership Development, including coordinating the Fall Service Retreat
4. Advertise and advise on the awarding of the Community Service Grant, Spirit of Service Awards and scholarships
For more information, or to apply, visit the CIC's website (http://cic.rice.edu). Applications are due by 5:00 pm on Monday, November 9, 2009.
If you have any questions, please contact Sarah Hodgkinson, Assistant Director of the Community Involvement Center, at sarah.hodgkinson@rice.edu or 713-348-6409.

1. Rice Parking wishes to communicate a couple recent changes.
* The Beer Bike Track is now open to biking during daylight hours everyday unless there is an event. Please make sure prior to riding that you do a safety check of the track and surrounding flagging to make sure nothing will impede your ride. Those who choose to use the beer bike track do so at their own risk.
* Gate 54 (closest parking control gate to the South Stadium Lot in West Lot 5) has been relocated to the street between the two lots to provide better lot security in that area. West Lot Commuter parkers (with proxy card) and visitors (with credit card) may still use West Lot 5. South Stadium Lot parkers (with proxy card) will now gain access to their lot through Gate 54. Visitors need to use West Lot 5 since South Stadium Lot requires a permit.

1. Rice Parking wishes to communicate a couple recent changes.
* The Beer Bike Track is now open to biking during daylight hours everyday unless there is an event. Please make sure prior to riding that you do a safety check of the track and surrounding flagging to make sure nothing will impede your ride. Those who choose to use the beer bike track do so at their own risk.
* Gate 54 (closest parking control gate to the South Stadium Lot in West Lot 5) has been relocated to the street between the two lots to provide better lot security in that area. West Lot Commuter parkers (with proxy card) and visitors (with credit card) may still use West Lot 5. South Stadium Lot parkers (with proxy card) will now gain access to their lot through Gate 54. Visitors need to use West Lot 5 since South Stadium Lot requires a permit.
At Your Service,
The Rice Parking Team

Is Computing at a Tipping Point? A Personal Perspective
Abstract:
Over the last 60+ years computing, communications, and information, originally emerging from disparate disciplines, have evolved into an unimagined set of capabilities influencing, directly or indirectly, nearly every person, every institution, and every endeavor in much of the world. These capabilities form a global infrastructure for a world where time and place are often irrelevant, access to information is instantaneous, and knowledge widely shared.
The talk will address the following question: Will the field continue to evolve from where we are or has it reached a tipping point? I will draw on my experience with languages, compilers, and high performance computing to suggest a few answers.
Biography:
Fran Allen?s specialty is compilers and program optimization for high performance computers. Soon after joining IBM Research as a programmer in 1957 with a University of Michigan masters degree in mathematics, Fran found the technical goal that would drive her career: Enable both programmer productivity and program performance in the development of computer applications. One result of this goal was that Fran was the recipient of ACM?s 2006 Turing Award ?For pioneering contributions to the theory and practice of optimizing compiler techniques that laid the foundation for modern optimizing compilers and automatic parallel execution.?
Fran is a member of the American Philosophical Society and the National Academy of Engineers, and a Fellow of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences, ACM, IEEE, and the Computer History Museum. Fran has several honorary doctorate degrees and has served on numerous national technology boards including CISE at the National Science Foundation and CSTB for the National Research Council. Fran is an active mentor, an advocate for technical women in computing, an environmentalist and an explorer.

10. Speakers for Cyber Security Awareness Month
s the number of electronically completed communications, projects, and
financial transactions increases, so does cyber crime.
Cyber security issues can be merely frustrating as in the case of poorly
worded phishing messages, or they can have serious repercussions with
crimes ranging from electronic stalking and reputation bashing (also
known as cyber abuse) to stolen identity and credit card information.
You can increase your awareness of these risks and steps to protect
yourself and your family during October, National Cyber Security
Awareness Month (NCSAM).
IT is sponsoring a different topic each week, with lunch hour discussions by professional
security officers or panel talks by teens and parents.
1. September 28 - Facebook use and risks for teens
2. October 7 - Security vs. Privacy at home
3. October 13 - Password Management for all your accounts
4. October 22 - Identity Theft: Prevention and Recovery
5. October 30 - Credit Information Theft: Prevention, Monitoring,
and Recovery
