Canadian Parks and Wilderness Society Presents Land Use Plan for Southern Alberta (University of Calgary)

Category: Other Event
Dates: January 13, 2014 - January 13, 2014

Canadian Parks and Wilderness Society (CPAWS) and the Faculty of Environmental Design will host an information session to encourage public feedback on a plan intended to balance the environmental, economic, and cultural well-being of the province. Back in October 2013 the Government of Alberta released the draft for the South Saskatchewan Regional Land-use Plan (SSRP). Public feedback is now being encouraged. Once the plan has been finalized it will determine how lands and water are managed in this region for decades to come. The SSRP region contains a diversity of ecosystems including grasslands, foothills and mountains. The region supports forested headwaters which provide clean water and flood regulation as well as imperiled native prairie grasslands, habitat for rare wildlife, and provide endless recreational opportunities. These resources also support thousands of jobs and families. To help people understand SSRP and how to participate in the development of the final plan, CPAWS will present an overview of the draft plan and communicate their main conservation concerns. They will also explore a variety of ways members of the community can express their views on the plan to the Government of Alberta. This is the last chance for Albertans to speak up on the plan. Come out and get informed so that you can make your voice heard. Free event. More info: http://evds.ucalgary.ca/event/canadian-parks-and-wilderness-society-presents-land-use-plan-southern-alberta

Category: Other Event
Dates: January 10, 2014 - January 10, 2014

The Department of Communication and Culture, The Department of Political Science, and The Department of Sociology Present: THE NEW SOCIAL OPERATING SYSTEM: THE IMPACT OF NETWORKED TECHNOLOGIES ON COMMUNITY, FAMILY, AND WORK RELATIONS A Talk with Prof. Barry Wellman Abstract: In his 2012 book Networked: The New Social Operating System (co-authored with Lee Rainie), Barry Wellman explores the latest paradigm shifts occurring in society: from group-centered relations to networked individualism and social networks. The far-flung and personalized internet along with the always available and accessible mobile devices have resulted in new social operating systems. The presentation will discuss how these structural changes play out for community, family and work relations. Bio: Sociologist Barry Wellman directs NetLab at the Faculty of Information, University of Toronto. His most recent award-winning book (with Lee Rainie) is Networked. In 1976, he founded the International Network for Social Network Analysis. He is a Fellow of the Royal Society of Canada and former president of the Social Research Association.

Department of Economics Seminar Series (University of Calgary)

Category: Other Event
Dates: January 10, 2014 - January 10, 2014

"Is Regulatory Rulemaking State-Contingent? An Empirical Analysis" Abstract: A fundamental question in macroeconomics is how monetary and fiscal policy should be designed to respond to economic fluctuations. Recently, however, an interest has also emerged in whether and how other types of policies - such as environmental regulations -should be made contingent on economic conditions. This literature has often disagreed about the extent to which state-contingent regulations are realistically possible. Taking a positive approach, this paper thus asks: To which extent is regulatory rulemaking already state-contingent? The core analysis takes advantage of a unique feature of the U.S. aviation safety system to overcome the usual identification problem of counterfactual regulatory burdens. The main [preliminary] result is that I .find evidence of state-contingent rulemaking on the extensive margin: A one-standard deviation increase in the air transport industry growth rate (+8%) increases the odds that the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) imp lements a new air safety recommendation issued the following year by a factor of around 1.2, and is estimated to increase the aggregate share of safety recommendations implemented by 2-3 percentage points. In addition, I study suggestive evidence from other areas of regulation and .find patterns tentatively consistent with state-contingent regulatory behavior. For example, proposed regulations appear significantly more likely to be subject to additional government scrutiny during economic downturns. Free and open to the public.

The University of Calgary Operetta Company presents: The Music Man (University of Calgary)

Category: Other Event
Dates: January 9, 2014 - January 9, 2014

Seventy-six trombones led the big parade, with a hundred and ten cornets right behind… “We got trouble my friends; right here in River City! With a capital T that rhymes with P and that stands for pool!” The University of Calgary Operetta Company has put together another quality production and will be singing and dancing their way into your hearts with the tunes from the classic, THE MUSIC MAN, in January 2014. THE MUSIC MAN is the story of suave, fast-talking traveling salesman Harold Hill who cons the people of River City, Iowa into buying instruments and uniforms for a boys' band he vows to organize — this despite the fact he doesn't know a trombone from a treble clef. This multiple Tony award-winning, critically acclaimed Broadway classic has it all — thanks to its quirky characters, charmingly predictable dramatic situations, and one-of-a-kind, nostalgic score of rousing marches, barbershop quartets and sentimental ballads which have become popular standards. Complete with a cast of 50 and orchestra of 27, THE MUSIC MAN will not disappoint as The University of Calgary Operetta Company embarks on their eight year of stellar full-length musical theatre and opera performances. Past productions include: West Side Story (2009), Miss Saigon (2010), Titanic: The Musical (2011), Guys and Dolls (2012), Children of Eden (2013), and Seussical (2013).
