OXIDATIVE STRESS AND AGING Richard Cutler President and Scientific Director, Human Longevity Sciences. Phoenix, AZ Thursday, February 18, 1999, 10:30AM, Lecture Room A, Administration Building. Antioxidant supplements protect your body from oxidative stress damage, but how does one know they are working. To answer this question, a new diagnostic field has emerged. Oxidative Stress Profiling analyzes key markers within your body to determine an individual's level of oxidative stress and level of antioxidant protection. To learn about this exciting field, Dr. Richard G. Cutler will discuss the current measurement technologies used for analysis and outline the importance of monitoring one's level of oxidative stress.

SELF-ORGANIZATION IN NONLINEAR OPTICS: DISCOVERY, DESIGN, AND APPLICATIONS Dr. Mikhail Vorontsov Army Research Laboratory. Thursday, February 18, 1999, 7:45PM, First Floor Conference Room, OSA Headquarters, Washington, DC. The more complex are the nonlinear system dynamics, the greater is the potential information capability of that system. The key questions are how to use this potential, and how to design and control complexity having the properties we desire. Vorontsov has been designing a kaleidoscope of spatial self-organization phenomena in nonlinear optics using a few rather simple building blocks, nonlinear optical systems with two-dimensional optical and electronic feedback circuits. He'll also discuss artificial complexity, or the complexity that arises not in nature but as a result of nonlinear interactions artificially created in optical systems. Dinner preceding meeting at Sala Thai Restaurant, Washington, DC. For reservations or further information , please contact Martin Lahart, 301-394-0159, lahart@arl.mil or Eric Shettle. |

Last year, the Director of NIST appointed a task group charged to identify and make available an evolving system of leadership and management development and training options suitable for the NIST culture and research environment. A sub-committee of that task group surveyed about 1,000 employees including senior managers, middle managers, and non-management staff. The results of that survey are presented on the website. In the coming weeks the website will be expanded to include the final report of last year's task group, and ongoing activities in this area. For further information contact: Jack Snell, chair of the Communications and Awareness task group, x6850, jack.snell@nist.gov http://www-i.nist.gov/survey/
