If you happened to be lying awake last night pondering "Energy Balance and Three-Dimensional Radiation Distribution of Water-Cooled Electric Lamps for Bioregenerative Space Life Support," you're in luck. Dr. Joel Cuello, associate professor of agricultural and biosystems engineering, will be lecturing on this very topic today at noon. If you made it all the way through those sentences, you might as well continue on to the Shantz building, Room 440. For more information, e-mail slackd@u.arizona.edu or visit http://ag.arizona.edu/ABE.

Though we're thousands of miles from the attacks in New York City and Washington, D.C., the UA community can still help the families of victims. Between 9 a.m. and 4 p.m. today through Friday, University Community Services and other United Way volunteer representatives will set up a tent on the Mall for United Way donations. Volunteers will be on hand to accept cash and check donations, and 100 percent of the contributions will be used to support needed services for victims and families affected by the attack. For more information regarding this fund, stop by the tent or call 1-800-710-8002.

Looking for a way to relax for only $4? This age-old question finally has an answer: Feldenkrais lessons.

I scream, you scream, we all scream for liquid nitrogen! From noon to 3 p.m., the UA Chemistry Club will be on the Mall selling and making ice cream with liquid nitrogen. So grab some whipped cream and hot fudge and stop by today, tomorrow or Wednesday for some good, clean chemistry fun. For more information, contact Dustin at 319-6710.

If the five-paragraph essay format you learned in junior high just isn't cutting it here in college, you might want to attend "Organizing Your Essay: Transitions," today at 5 p.m. with Dr. Kendra Gaines of the Writing Skills Improvement Program. The discussion is part of a free, weekly series of workshops held every Monday. For more information, contact Donna Rabuck at 621-5849.
