1. Because You Don't Do It Every Day (BUDDIE) Week
Every year, the office of Disability Support Services sponsors BUDDIE Week (BECAUSE U DON'T DO IT EVERY DAY.) The purpose of this activity is to sensitize the Stony Brook campus community on issues surrounding disabilities. Since 1989, BUDDIE Week provides administrators, faculty and staff with the opportunity to learn how students with disabilities experience life on campus. Buddies are asked to accompany a student during part of one of the days, meet for lunch or spend some time together; whatever is appropriate and possible for you and the student. This year, we are recruiting new buddies who would be interested in participating in this important event. If you could set aside an hour or two on the week of March 7, 2005, please call Stephanie Patterson at 2-6748. We hope that you will be able to participate in this activity and look forward to your response. Thanks!

5. Melville Library Author Series featuring Jacqueline Reich
On Tuesday, February 22 at 5 p.m. in the Javits Room, Melville Library, Jacqueline Reich, Associate Professor of Italian and Comparative Literature, will discuss her latest book, Beyond the Latin Lover: Marcello Mastroianni, Masculinity, and Italian Cinema. Marcello Mastroianni is considered by many to be the epitome of the Latin lover, the consummate symbol of Italian masculinity. In Beyond the Latin Lover,Jacqueline Reich unmasks the reality behind the myth. In her investigation of many of Mastroianni's most famous characters in Italian cinema, she reveals that beneath the image of hyper-masculinity lies the figure of the inetto, the Italian schlemiel at odds with and out of place in a rapidly changing world. Reich's work demonstrates that Mastroianni's inetto is a reflection of the unstable political, social, and sexual climate of post-war Italy and its constantly shifting gender roles.

MENOPAUSE - The Division of Wellness and Chronic Illness in the Department of Family Medicine at Stony Brook University Hospital will be presenting a series of three, two-hour workshops on menopause.
Each participant will be examined and evaluated individually in order to assess their specific menopausal symptoms and avenues of treatment.
The physiological symptoms of menopause, such as hot flashes, insomnia, cognitive difficulties, etc. will be discussed in detail. We will also explore the cultural attitudes associated with this transition and learn about several approaches to ease symptoms including hormone therapy (conjugated estrogen and bioidentical hormones), herbal remedies, nutritional medicine, exercise, and mind/body techniques such as breathing and meditation techniques.
The series is scheduled for Wednesdays, March 30th, April 6th, and 13th at 33 Research Way, Stony Brook Technology Park.
Most insurance plans accepted with appropriate co-payment for each visit.
To register, please call 631.444.9815.

2. MRI Study of Flow in the Brain
Volunteers are needed to participate in an MRI study to investigate new methods for imaging flow patterns of blood and cerebrospinal fluid in the brain and spine. The goal of the study is to understand flow patterns in healthy individuals in order to compare these results with the abnormal flow patterns seen in individuals with diseases such as hydrocephalus and spinal cysts. For the current phase of studies, we are seeking healthy individuals with no previous history of head or spinal trauma, arachnoid or spinal cysts, hydrocephalus, brain tumors or any contraindication for an MRI exam. The study will involve 1 hour of your time and be completely non-invasive. No injections will be given. You will not be paid for this study.
If interested, please contact Mark Wagshul, PhD at 4-9563, or mwagshul@notes.cc.sunysb.edu.
