The funding model for public higher education has changed dramatically in recent years, both in California and across the nation. How can we build a solid and sustainable financial model for the University of California while preserving and enhancing the most important values of our public mission? Join us as Nathan Brostrom will discuss the system wide budget projections for the University of California. The UC system educates nearly over 250,000 students annually and has a yearly budget of over $28 billion. The mission of the Chief Financial Officer Division is to provide leadership, operational oversight, and system coordination of financial products and services for the University of California community.

“Our findings reveal a new level of precision in how emotions are linked to health, and how our behaviors over time can predict the development of negative health outcomes,” said UC Berkeley psychologist Robert Levenson, senior author of the study.
The study, published today in the journal Emotion, is based on 20 years of data. It controlled for such factors as age, education, exercise, smoking, alcohol use and caffeine consumption.
Overall, the link between emotions and health outcomes was most pronounced for husbands, but some of the key correlations were also found in wives. It did not take the researchers long to guess which spouses would develop ailments down the road based on how they reacted to disagreements.

Preschoolers can be smarter than college students at figuring out how unusual toys and gadgets work because they're more flexible and less biased than adults in their ideas about cause and effect, according to new research from the University of California, Berkeley, and the University of Edinburgh.
In an experiment using simple shapes and a musical light box called a "blicketness machine," children showed a stronger ability to predict cause and effect -- in this case, which objects placed on the box were "blickets," causing the box to play. The children were much more successful than the adults in predicting which objects were most likely the "blickets."
The experiment was led by developmental psychologist Alison Gopnik and graduate student Sophie Bridgers.
