Salvaging and Renewing Communities of the Rural Plains, Larry Swanson, Director, O'Connor Center for the Roc ky Mountain West, University of Montana. Many rural areas of the northern and central plains lost population during the '60s, '70s, and '80s, befo re this population decline slowed in the '90s. Most rural areas of the Pl ains region even saw population growth in the '90s and some experts began to refer to this as a "rural renaissance". However, more recently, rural depopulation has reaccelerated and out migration is being increasingly s upplemented by out-right population attrition. Rural areas of the region are growing increasingly old, with rising death rates and falling birth r ates. Adding to this is a farm and ranch economy that remains financially uncertain. Population growth in most of the Plains region is showing gro wing imbalance with most focused in and around only a few large urban cen ters. The question becomes- can anything be done to counter these trends? Reception begins at 3:00 pm. Free and open to the public. \n\nCo-sponso red by the Grassland Foundation, UNL Center for Great Plains Studies, UNL Department of Economics, UNL Rural Initiative, UNL School of Natural Res ources, and Center for Rural Entrepreneurship LOCATION:Great Plains Art Museum URL:http://events.unl.edu/2007/04/12/9667/ DTEND;TZID=US/Central:20070412T170000 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=US/Central:20070412T153000 UID:10021@events.unl.edu DTSTAMP:20070316T093435 SUMMARY:Physics & Astronomy Colloquium, April 12 DESCRIPTION:"Planet Formation and Evolution," Dr. Debra Fischer, San Franc isco State University\n\nRefreshments: Brace Lab 201 @ 3:30 p.m. \nLectur e: Brace Lab 211 @ 4:00 p.m.\n\n\nColloquium abstract can be found at: ht tp://physics.unl.edu/news/schedule.html\n\n\nFor further information plea se call the Department of Physics and Astronomy at (402) 472-2770 or emai l paoffice@unl.edu LOCATION:BRACE LABORATORY Room Brace 201 URL:http://events.unl.edu/2007/04/12/10021/ DTEND;TZID=US/Central:20070412T170000 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=US/Central:20070412T153000 UID:9872@events.unl.edu DTSTAMP:20070305T134955 SUMMARY:School of Biological Sciences Seminar Series DESCRIPTION:Jeff Bennetzen, University of Georgia, will present "Patterns and dynamics in grass genome evolution."

However, ongoing research in planetary science, biology, and astronomy is sharpening our estimates for the probability of life elsewhere and highlighting the weakest links in our understanding. In astronomy, the discovery of more than 200 planets orbiting other stars has helped us to see our own solar system in context . What does it take to make a world habitable? Key issues in understand ing the possibilities for life on other worlds will be highlighted and th e missing exoplanet link -- potentially habitable rocky worlds -- will be discussed. Dr. Fischer will explain how her team hopes to bridge that g ap and find other Earths.\n\n\n\nDate: Thursday, April 12th\nTime: 7:30pm \nLocation: Regency Room, City Campus Union LOCATION:NEBRASKA UNION Room Regency Room URL:http://events.unl.edu/2007/04/12/10023/ DTEND;TZID=US/Central:20070412T203000 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=US/Central:20070412T193000 UID:10299@events.unl.edu DTSTAMP:20070403T165437 SUMMARY:subUrbia DESCRIPTION:The parking lot of a convenience store in fictional Burnfield is the setting for three 20-somethings, Buff, Jeff and Tim.
