Today, November 9 at 7:00pm
University of Missouri College of Arts and Science
Laurel Thatcher Ulrich, professor of history at Harvard University and current President of the American Historical Association, is the inaugural speaker for the Lewis Atherton Memorial Lecture in American History. Ulrich is best known for her books, Well-Behaved Women Seldom Make History and A Midwife's Tale - a Pulit...zer Prize winner. The lecture titled, "Mud and Fire: Mormon diarists cross Iowa, 1846," will examine the difficulties faced by the Mormons on their trek from Illinois to Iowa - the most surprising being the demanding ideals of their faith.Read More

Guitarist Pat Martino makes his second Jazz Series appearance, returning to the Blue Note – the perfect venue for his group. This time around the legendary guitarist arrives with a remarkable quartet that includes ...full-sounding tenor saxophonist Eric Alexander, powerful Hammond B-3 organist Tony Monaco and drummer Jason Brown.
One of the most original jazz-based guitarists to emerge since the 1960s, Martino worked early on with saxophonists Willis Jackson and Red Holloway and organists such as Jimmy Smith, Jack McDuff and Jimmy McGriff. It stands to reason that with Monaco and Alexander on hand the potential of a magical evening exists.
The New York-based in demand Alexander is no stranger to the Jazz Series and we eagerly await his return. Organist Monaco, an Ohioan, is now just receiving the kind of wide-spread praise he has deserved for a long time. He and drummer Jason Brown make their first Jazz Series appearances.
Martino’s almost unbelievable personal story – his complete loss of memory in 1980 after being operated on for a brain aneurism and his subsequent “relearning” of his instrument from scratch – is documented in the 2008 film, Martino Unstrung, which shows at Ragtag Cinema the night before his performance.Read More

Description:
A group of racecars piloted by the best drivers in NASCAR are turning a corner. Without warning, one of the cars suddenly hits the outside wall. There were no engine failures, no flat tires, and none of the cars touched.... . . . so what happened?
This is the question that sparked physicist Diandra Leslie-Pelecky’s interest in racing. What she thought would be a ten-minute search of the web turned into a book, The Physics of NASCAR, that takes NASCAR (and science) fans behind the scenes at top race shops, onto the asphalt at Texas Motor Speedway and into the garage with the Gillett Evernham Motorsports’ No. 19 car and its crew. Her talk guides the audience through understanding what it takes to make racecars faster and safer, and why driving a stock car is much harder than you might think. Her talk is filled with examples of current NASCAR science, including why drivers seem to be asking their crew chiefs to help them get their cars to turn better, how SAFER barriers revolutionized track safety, why designing tires for the new car is such a challenge, and how something as simple as leaving an oil-tank lid slightly askew could lead to a competitive advantage. The talk – which assumes no prior knowledge of NASCAR or science – is accessible to upper-middle-school level kids and up.
