NYS. We encourage projects that are complementary to, and seek
collaboration with, the Center's Applied Bioscience Laboratories.
Faculty with interest or considering submission, are strongly
encouraged to contact Dr. Anil Dhundale, Director, Scientific
Affairs (anil.dhundale@sunysb.edu), prior to writing a full
proposal. Application forms can be downloaded from the Center's

cancer. You will be considered at risk if you have: 1) previous
benign breast biopsy, 2) a mother or sister with breast cancer,
3) history of LCIS via excision only, 4) at least 1.66% projected
5 year risk of developing breast cancer per STAR Risk Assessment
Form. If you need more information about this study, feel free
to call the Clinical Trials Office at (631) 444-7913, and ask for
Gerty Fortune, Clinical Research Nurse Coordinator.

6. Summer Sessions: A Chance to Catch Up or Get Ahead
Summer Sessions classes enable students to take courses they may
have been unable to schedule during the academic year. Or to
complete their degree requirements if they plan to graduate in
August or December. Or any of a host of other reasons. This
summer almost 450 graduate and undergraduate courses are
scheduled, with a mix of day and evening classes so that students
can schedule classes around summer jobs. Stony Brook's Summer
Sessions classes are also open to visiting students from other
institutions, and summer housing and the deferred payment plan
(TOPP) are open to all students.
Visit the Summer Sessions website now (www.stonybrook.edu/summer)
to view the summer course list and academic calendar. The
complete schedule - with days and times - will be posted on the
Web in early February. Information about the new Web-based
enrollment and registration system will be posted in March.

8. Harriman School Seminar - Wednesday, February 7, Noon, 304
Harriman Hall
Including Principal Component Weights to Improve Discrimination
in Data Envelopment Analysis, Dr. Nicole Adler, School of
Business Administration, Hebrew University of Jerusalem.
This research develops the combined use of principal component
analysis (PCA) and data envelopment analysis (DEA). The aim is
to improve discriminatory power in DEA models with many inputs
and outputs relative to decision-making units. We develop three
PCA-DEA formulations. The first introduces assurance regions
using PCA weights as objective constraints on groups of adapted
data. The second and third apply PCA separately to all inputs
and outputs. Subsequently, all PCs are utilized, objective
assurance region constraints are applied, and discrimination is
maximized without loss of information. The third formulation
searches for a single set of global weights with which to fully
rank all observations. We show that the PCs dramatically improve
the strength of DEA models. More information - Call 632-7181.

Homelessness is on the rise on Long Island, but you can help
break the cycle of poverty for a deserving family. Join our
campus community and Habitat for Humanity as we work together to
make a North Bellport family's dream of home ownership come true.
It costs roughly $60,000 in materials and services to build a
house on Long Island. Stony Brook has committed to raising
$40,000; the balance is funded through Habitat for Humanity.
Every department on campus and a variety of student groups are
making plans to raise funds for their designated part of the
house.
So, take the Habitat Challenge calling for communities to
eliminate substandard housing in their area within this
generation. Support the Stony Brook House fundraising events and
help us reach our goal. For more information, contact your
department coordinator, or visit our web site on YOCL page at

24. Wed. 2/6, 4:30pm at HISB: Josh Cohen, University of London:
"Interrupting Redemption: Art, Religion and the 'New Categorical
Imperative'"
HISB is located at E4341 Melville Library
If, as Adorno claims, Auschwitz imposes a 'new categorical
imperative' on humankind to think and act such that nothing
similar will happen, how is this imperative to be respected?
Drawing on the interplay of aesthetic and religious motifs in
Adorno himself, Levinas and Edmond Jabs, Dr. Cohen's lecture will
argue that the imperative demands a fundamental reworking of the
meaning of redemption. Rather than being understood in terms of a
will to finality, the redemptive names an 'interruptive' thought
of the essentially incomplete.
Josh Cohen is Lecturer in English at Goldsmiths College,
University of London. He is author of Spectacular Allegories:
Postmodern American Writing and the Politics of Seeing (Pluto
Press, 1998) and Interrupting Auschwitz: Art, Religion,
Philosophy (forthcoming from Continuum Press, 2002), as well as a
wide range of articles on modern literature, Continental
philosophy and cultural theory.
