Love transformed Rumi, a conservative theologian, into a liberated, euphoric mystic poet and teacher who fervently fell in love with the Divine Creator and the whole universe. When Rumi threw off his turban and robe and started to dance jubilantly, the most beautiful and meaningful poetry poured from his lips. A thirteenth-century Persian mystic poet, Rumi has become a best-selling poet in the United States. On Rumiâs 805th birthday, Dr. Majid Naini, one of the worldâs foremost Rumi scholars, will present a brief history of Rumiâs life, teachings and wisdom through recitation of Rumiâs poetry in Farsi with English translations and interpretations. The event will also include a performance of Persian classical and fusion music by the Sibarg Ensemble. Established in 2008 by Hesam Abedini, Sibarg was the first fusion ensemble in Tehran Music School.
From the dawn of human civilization numerous types and forms of organizations and governments have been tried, but none have been successful in bringing peace and tranquility to the world. Peace and harmony, Dr. Naini maintains, is more dependent on each individual and his/her state of mind and attitude toward himself/herself and others than any particular system.
Organized by Hossein Hashemi (Electrical Engineering) and the Persian Academic & Cultural Student Association (PACSA).

No topic will be off limits when distinguished authors and journalists Frank Rich and Fran Lebowitz come together for a rare and stimulating conversation exploring our pre-election state of the union. Hear their thoughts on everything from the economy to gay marriage to foreign policy in what promises to be a smart, lively and entertaining look at the 2012 presidential election.
About Lebowitz and Rich:
Purveyor of urban cool, witty chronicler of the âme decadeâ and the cultural satirist whom many call the heir to Dorothy Parker, Fran Lebowitz remains one of the foremost advocates of the extreme statement. She offers insights on timely issues such as gender, race, gay rights and the media as well as her own pet peeves, including celebrity culture, tourists and strollers. Lebowitzâs first two classic books of essays, Metropolitan Life and Social Studies, have been collected in the Fran Lebowitz Reader. Lebowitz is forthright, irascible and unapologetically opinionated. Lebowitz is also the subject of Public Speaking, an HBO documentary film directed by Martin Scorsese. (Lebowitz on Facebook)
Frank Rich joined New York magazine in 2011 as writer-at-large, writing monthly on politics and culture, and editing a special monthly section anchored by his essay. He is also a commentator on nymag.com, engaging in regular dialogues on the news of the week. Rich joined the magazine following a distinguished career at the New York Times, where his Sunday Op-Ed column helped inaugurate the expanded opinion pages that the paper introduced in 2005. Among other honors, Rich received the George Polk Award for Commentary and the Goldsmith Career Award for Excellence in Journalism from Harvard University. His best-selling books include The Greatest Story Ever Sold: The Decline and Fall of Truth in Bushâs America and Ghost Light: A Memoir. Rich is also a creative consultant at HBO and an executive producer of two HBO projects: Veep, a new satirical comedy about Washington starring Julia Louis-Dreyfus, and a forthcoming documentary about Stephen Sondheim. (Rich at New York magazine and the New York Times)

The origins, development, and neural bases of language impairments in ASD, Helen Tager-Flusberg, Ph.D.

Ming Hsieh Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering

Title: The origins, development, and neural bases of language impairments in ASD
Speaker: Helen Tager-Flusberg, Ph.D., Boston University
Abstract
Impairments in language and communication are among the core symptoms of ASD. In children there is enormous variability in the language phenotypes associated with ASD ranging from highly fluent to the absence of any communicative speech. Studies of high risk infants have highlighted the early onset of differences in brain organization and communicative impairment associated with language development. In toddlers diagnosed with ASD there is considerable variability in language ability are already evidence. At this stage differences in the social, cognitive, and motor skills that are important factors in language acquisition predict divergent developmental pathways for children with ASD into the preschool years. By middle childhood neuroimaging studies have found significant differences in brain structure, functional organization and connectivity that are associated with some of the varied language phenotypes in ASD, as well as the parallels between ASD and other language disorders.
BIO: Helen Tager-Flusberg received her Bachelors in Science in Psychology from University College London, and her doctorate from Harvard University. From 1978 through 2001 she was a Professor in the Department of Psychology at the University of Massachusetts âBoston and from 1996 â 2001 she also held the position of Senior Scientist at the Eunice Kennedy Shriver Center/UMass Medical Center. Since 2001 Dr. Tager-Flusberg has been at Boston University initially with primary appointments in the Department of Anatomy and Neurobiology and Pediatrics at the School of Medicine and now as Professor of Psychology at Boston University, where she was the Director of the Developmental Science Program from 2009 to 2012. Dr. Tager-Flusberg conducts research on autism and other neurodevelopmental disorders, investigating developmental changes in language and social cognition using behavioral and brain imaging methodologies. Her research has been funded by the National Institutes of Health and private foundations, including Autism Speaks, The Simons Foundation, the Autism Consortium, the Nancy Lurie Marks Family Foundation and March of Dimes. Dr. Tager-Flusberg is currently the President of the International Society for Autism Research, serves on the editorial board of several professional journals and is Associate Editor of the Journal of Neurodevelopmental Disorders.

âThe best musical of this century.ââNew York Times
âThe perfect Broadway musical.ââEntertainment Weekly

One of the most acclaimed and in-demand shows on Broadway, The Book of Mormon won nine Tony Awards, including Best Musical. A gleefully profane, irreverent and blasphemous tribute to the magic of Broadway, The Book of Mormon suggests that sometimes faith is all you need.
