College of Arts and Scimces, has been awarded a Humboldt Research Award by Germany's Alcund<r vnn Hum boldt Foundation in recognition of his lifetime research acru~ ­ m<nts in the fidd of linguistics. The prestigious award, which was presented to 62 top interna· tiona! researchers this year, originates in Gcnnany and permits foreign academics to conduct R research at Getman research institutes. Recipimu must be nominated by leading Gmnan scholars or research institutions. and may usc the award any time within five ynrs of iu receipt. Tht: award, which ts worth about $60,000 at current e:xchangt rates, will fund Van Valin's work on the neurotypology project at the Ma.x Planck Institute for Human Cognitive and Brain Scirnccs in Leipzig. Germany. He: currt:ndy is on sabbatical m Germany for the spring semester and spent the Wi scmcst<t on research lea¥<. Van Valin's research focuses on theoretical linguistics, especially syntactic theory and theori<5 of the acquisition of syntax. He is the primary dcv<lopcr of the theory of Role and Reference Grammar (RRG). which incorporates many of the points of view of curren1, functionally based approaches to the scimtific study of language and has conducted research on two Amcncan Indian languages, La.khota (Siouan ) and Yatct Zapot« (Oto-Manguean). His current research focuses on mtegrating insighu &om grammatical theory and the nrurocog- nition of language. During Ius stay in Germany. he is scdting to intensify this integrative line of rcsarcb by comparing German and Mandarin Ollncsc in collaboration with the rcsarcb groups in D<U · rolinguistia at Philipps University Marburg and in ncurotypology at the Max Planck Institute.

UniiU DNA, which fomu in the famous "double helix" pat· krn, RNA doesn't have a single, predictable llructurc, he explains. RNAJ can fold into many differmt structures. unlike the repeatable paltcrns that DNA folds into. RNA folds into many different sm..U motifs that often SC'f'V( as platforms for interacting proteins or other RNAs. " 1( you haw the K<JU<ncc, you can pr~<hct the structure accurate· ly." Disney says. This structural mformation i.s uwaluablc for understanding how the RNA works and, potentially, how to design drug.s that target it. The goal of Disney's research is to bette understand the way RNA mol«uua fold and design druglike compounds that bind the RNA in a pm!ictable manner and inhibit itJ activity. To achi<vt this goal. we need to find a codt for rccogni · tion of RNA he says. Armed with such a code. scientists could cnat< anubiotics that kill drug-mistant stnins of bactma. for aamplt.

In addition to potentially fisbt · mg anl.ibiotic· resistant bacterial infections. this RNA research also could makt strida "l¢nst cancer and genetic di.scascs. such as sickle cdl anemia and cystic fibrosis, Disney says. This is boca we RNA plays important rolos in 1 variety of di.scascs. He says an RNA inhtbitor could be even better than a DNA inhibitor because RNA ha.s 1 greater range of functions within human ccl4. Moreover, pharma· ccutical compounds th1t target targ<t it.' he says.

Panel looks at Katrina response If llEYIN AIYUIICO Reporter Contributor NGINEERJNG foculty members Gilberte Mosqueda and )ames Jensen joined members of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers on Feb. 23 to discuss engi- E neering preparedness and ruponse in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina. The panel diocu.!sion,hdd in the Student Union Theater, was pan of Engineerins Wed< activities at UB. (For pbotos of other Engineerins Wed< activities, see page 7.) Gary Sboffstall, chief of the J'mersr:ncy M~t Offict for the corps' Buffalo District, has ttspanded to four rumt hurricanes in Florida, the tt:norist attacb of Sept. II , 2001 and the 1989 I.Dma Prieta eaithquake in San francisco. "If you were to combine all of those disastua. you would not lave the amount of debris, temporary housing. temporary facilities and people displaced as this O I\C storm even! with Katrina and Rita: Shoffstall aaid. He rut short critics of the slow hurricane relief effort by oiJ'ering statistics on the magnitude of the disaster. While the destruction of the World '&ade Center created I million cubic yuds of debrU in New Yori<, be said. hurricanes Katrina and Rita created 45 millioo cubic yuds of debris in Missisappi alone. Sbanon Cbodcr. I civiVooastaJ ""8in<er in the ooq>a' Buffalo Divi- sion and a graduate of UB's School of Engineering and Applied Sciences, was a member of a structural safety assessment team that spent time in New Orleans. While in the city, Olader worked and lived in a trailer parked in front of City Hall. .. We inspected more than 124,000 structures in six to eisJ>t weeks," Olader said. The worst cases were in the Ninth Ward, due to the se-vere ftooding caused by broken levies, be said. Shoffstall said there is no on< answer as to why the levies failed. "It was a diilmnt probl<:m at each location," be noted. adding that among the causes were Wlderwater soil erosion, impact and <Mrt>pping. Mosqueda, assistant professor of civil, structural and environ mental engineering, is affiliated with the Multidisciplinary Center for Earthquake Engineering ~ (MCEER) at UB. He has beeo to the Gulf Coast twice since Katrina's landfall on Aug. 29. "Storm SW(!L'S were the lup culprit in the darnat;<.. Mooqueda said. Shoffstall noted that Ocean Springs, Miss., a town east of Biloxi with a pre- Katrina popula · lion of more than 17.000. was reduced to mere foundations after being hit with a "22-foot wall of water; he said. Although Katrina had weal:med from a category live hurricane to a category thnle by the timt it made landfall, its wind gusts still topped 120 mph. Peak gusts are more important to engineers than sustained winds, said Mosqueda. Current buildins codes allow for winds of up to 120 mph, but older structures were built to withstand just 100 mph winds, be said. Mosqueda suggested that Cali fornia building codes be used as a model for future building codes in hurricane-prone areas. He showed pbotos of thnle bridges over Biloxi Bay: the earthquake- resistant railroad bridge survived the storm; the othen collapsed. Jensen, professor of civil. structural and environmental mgi · nttring. was a member of a third MCEER team that traveled to Nnv Orleans in mid-October to investigate environmental and bealth issues. He worked with public bealth volun~~>m in New Orl<ans. "One of the greatest problerns was Jli<Uing the word out about what xrvica wert ovailable.. be said. SbofiStall noted that in the ~ engineer> couldn't design for category live protection "because (officials) said it costs more to provide the protection than what was available." With cunmt damage from Katrina estimated at $75 billion, be said. that attitude has cban&<d. The rqion wiD be rebuilt, he said. "There's a reason to be tbe:re.

Description An account of the resource The UB <em>Reporter</em> began publication on January 22, 1970, a time of tumult at the University. It succeeded the newsletter, <em>Colleague</em>, and to this day, serves as the official source for "in house," internal news. The first issue included an editorial, "Why The Reporter?" explaining the rationale for the newspaper: <br /><blockquote> <p>The feeling was that the University lacks a sense of community—that communication is too helter-skelter—that too many groups feel alienated, apart. Somehow, it was felt, if these groups—faculty, student and staff—could come together on the commons and share their concerns and ideas, their activities, their aspirations and whatever else they have to offer, community and communications would result…But it will not produce instant community. Each of us will have to work toward that goal.</p> </blockquote> <br />The Reporter ceased print production in May 2009 when it became an online only publication; in Spring 2016 it became a daily publication.  The Reporter was re-named UB Now in Spring 2016.

T HE univmity, continu- ing its commitment to mcrgy corurrvation and reducing iu impact on the mvironment. has begun a pilot pro)<Ct in which a biodiesd blrnd- a nontoxic.. alttmatM Cud made from vtg<tabk oil-is being used in noness<ntial diesel vrltides Biodiesd tS being used in UB 's O«t of dwnp trucks, garbage packers and other nonairial equipment, said Paul Hoffman, fleet maintenance supervisor, Facilities Operations, University Facilities. One< spring arrives, it will fud the university's commercial lawn mowers as wdl, Hoffman added. Engines that run on diesel do not rrquirt conversion to run on biodiesel. .. Our intent is to put it in any diesel-powered vehicles," said Hoffman. " I'm presuming that by nat winter, we'll be: running a.ll of our fleet on biodiese:l."' Biodicsel has numerous advan tages over petroleum dte~l fuel , satd Creighton Randall. vtC< pres idcnt of Engineers for a Sustam able World (ESW ). a new UB stu dent group that champtons the usc of altemauve fuels on campus Btod1esd burns reduced lt•\·d s o f cancer-causing carcinogens, such as arsenic and benune, as wc.U as greenhouse gassts that destroy the ozon• layer, R.mdall satd. Biodicsel often is combined Wlth prtroleum diesel to create a biodt<sel blend. NOCO Energy Corp. supplies UB with a mix known as 820-20 percent b1odiestl, 60 percent ~troleum diesel and 20 percent kerosene . During the wmter, kcro~e ts addtd to the mix to prevent gdting in the cold t<mperatures. The Tonawanda-based NOCO produces iu biodiesd from soybeans. An unrdat<d cost-saving measurt prompted UB to tat-run the use of biodiesd, Hoffman notes. Univmity Facilities was able to eliminate iu store of praniwn gasoline with the = t switch by University Police to Y<hicks that run on rtgular Wtkaded gasoline, rather than on the more-expens1vt premium fud. Eliminating the need for the highgrad< gasoline freed up a 4,000-gaJIon tank at the Hdm Buildms on the North Campus, which was retrofin<d to stor< biodiesd. Hoffman adds tha1 dut to a two-year agreement between the Now York Stat< Office of General Serv1cts and the New York State Energy Research and Dt-vdopment Authonty (NYSERDA ), btodiescl doesn't cost the university any more than traditional dind fud. NYSERDA offsets the diff<rtt~ct in cost bdwem petroleum diesel and biodiesel, he said "The int<nt (of the agr«m<nt) ts to show that biodiesd is a viable fuel ," said Hoffman ...As more agencies use biod1rsel, the price will come down." VB ts committed to the use of alternative fuels , Hoffman streSStd. The uruvtrsity currently operatts 54 veh1cles that run on compressed natural gas, I 0 Global Electric Motorcars and three gas-electric hybrids. Moreover, Hoffman said the wm,rsity is in the final stages of putting together an agre:e:ment that would bring two hydrog<nfueled Toyot> Priuses and a fueling station to campw for a two· year trial period. The Priuscs would be the first hydrog<nfuded vehicles within the SUNY system and possibly withtn the state, he said.

Tht r...arch sptdfics tht phys· ical dimensions of the keypad Wl sor in order to achicvc specified levels of security. an lssue that is of growing importance as devices become ever smaller. Govindaraju explained that any company considering using fin. gerprint matching for access wiU wanr to be able to quan tify what level of s«:urity is possible. "With passwords. this os an easy task," he said. "Obviously, a si.x-ktter password will bt much mort difficult to brtak than a thrtt-lettet password because there- are so many more possible combinaoons."

For more information see, http://dublincore.org/documents/dces/. Description An account of the resource The UB <em>Reporter</em> began publication on January 22, 1970, a time of tumult at the University. It succeeded the newsletter, <em>Colleague</em>, and to this day, serves as the official source for "in house," internal news. The first issue included an editorial, "Why The Reporter?" explaining the rationale for the newspaper: <br /><blockquote> <p>The feeling was that the University lacks a sense of community—that communication is too helter-skelter—that too many groups feel alienated, apart. Somehow, it was felt, if these groups—faculty, student and staff—could come together on the commons and share their concerns and ideas, their activities, their aspirations and whatever else they have to offer, community and communications would result…But it will not produce instant community. Each of us will have to work toward that goal.</p> </blockquote> <br />The Reporter ceased print production in May 2009 when it became an online only publication; in Spring 2016 it became a daily publication.  The Reporter was re-named UB Now in Spring 2016.

A study recently released by th< U.S. Environmen tal Pro t ~ion Agency concludes that UB saves nearly $2 1.000 a yar on power du< to new energy-dlidcnt beverage vendin g machi nes installed m August 2004 in all campw faciliti<S, said Mitch Gr«n, =culM direc tor of Campus Dmong and Shops. A prev1ous study found tha1 bdorr the installauon of the new madunb, the university's yearly energy bill fo r beverage vending machines was $50,000. Jn terms of power, UB now saves more tham 260,000 kilowan hours annually. Gr<m said UB began to invl:sbgatc energy-dlicicnr vmding at the end of 2003 after the cxpir.ation of the un~rsity's "pouring rights" oontract with Colo:. Walter Simpson, UB energy offia:r, requested the 1tnivenity take advantage of the Situation to explore greener options. When a Request for Proposal (RFP ) for the new beverage con tract was circulated, it asked that the potential vmdor proVIde "energy effic1en1 va>ding maclun<s for all facilities." Ptpsi won the n~ contract and 1ts vendor, Dixle- Narco Inc, supphed UB with ll2 energy- dlicient beverage machines. Gr<m said that oompared to t~ditional machines. the new models are not only mor< environmentally friendly, but "thcr< wasn't an appr<ciable difference in the cost.• "They work just as wdl as the old machines." he added. In fact , aside from the maduna' new look and Energy Star labels. he sa1d Students can't tell th< difft'l'<nce 'lhe Umvcrsity at Buffalo aau ally got the first 100 rnergy-efficiem beverage machtnes DooeNa rco eve-r produced," he noted.

A leading scientist at UB's ~n ­ tcr for Hearing and Deafness, Henderson has hem at the fore front of mtemational r~ rch to determine the biological mecha msms through which toxiru and noise ttposurc kill hair ccUs. the organs tn the mner car responsible D for transmitting sound to the brain's hearing c=t<r. This work has led to two paten IS for new drugs to prevtnt or rnrerse the Joss. Hencl<rson's n:search group was the first to show that noise: "'J''OOU" increases the k:vd of oxygm f= radicals in the cochlea, which destroy hair cdls. The research has shown further that this destruaion can be slowed or prt'Ymted through two approaches: by oonditioning the hair cd1s to w;tbstand nois<. and by usmg antiaxidanu to protect the hair cdls from f= radicals. With other coUeagues, Hendtr son has shown that a protem kinase inhibitor developed by David Hangauer, ii.S.SOClatc profe.!o sor of chemistry, to treat cancer has significant promise in preventing noise · mduccd hearing loss by blocking hair cdl death . Anoth<r drug Hcnd<rson was instrumental in developing bas provm dfec:tM in lessening hearing loss due to aposure to deafening battle noise an tests con · ducted by the U.S. military.

For more information see, http://dublincore.org/documents/dces/. Description An account of the resource The UB <em>Reporter</em> began publication on January 22, 1970, a time of tumult at the University. It succeeded the newsletter, <em>Colleague</em>, and to this day, serves as the official source for "in house," internal news. The first issue included an editorial, "Why The Reporter?" explaining the rationale for the newspaper: <br /><blockquote> <p>The feeling was that the University lacks a sense of community—that communication is too helter-skelter—that too many groups feel alienated, apart. Somehow, it was felt, if these groups—faculty, student and staff—could come together on the commons and share their concerns and ideas, their activities, their aspirations and whatever else they have to offer, community and communications would result…But it will not produce instant community. Each of us will have to work toward that goal.</p> </blockquote> <br />The Reporter ceased print production in May 2009 when it became an online only publication; in Spring 2016 it became a daily publication.  The Reporter was re-named UB Now in Spring 2016.

Sh~ and her assistanu are compiling data from some of her groups to set: how these methods comparr with controls. Rather than telling participants not to do certain things, CookCottone focuses instead on what they will do. Sessions begin with one hour of yoga led by a certified instructor. Participants then write journal entries on a topic of the day chosen by Cook-Cottone; one such topic might be a quote alxJut harmony by Gandhi. Next, they learn about a more concrete or specilk topic; one class, for exam ple, le-arned about the hypothala mlls and its. function m the br:un and Oody.

For more information see, http://dublincore.org/documents/dces/. Description An account of the resource The UB <em>Reporter</em> began publication on January 22, 1970, a time of tumult at the University. It succeeded the newsletter, <em>Colleague</em>, and to this day, serves as the official source for "in house," internal news. The first issue included an editorial, "Why The Reporter?" explaining the rationale for the newspaper: <br /><blockquote> <p>The feeling was that the University lacks a sense of community—that communication is too helter-skelter—that too many groups feel alienated, apart. Somehow, it was felt, if these groups—faculty, student and staff—could come together on the commons and share their concerns and ideas, their activities, their aspirations and whatever else they have to offer, community and communications would result…But it will not produce instant community. Each of us will have to work toward that goal.</p> </blockquote> <br />The Reporter ceased print production in May 2009 when it became an online only publication; in Spring 2016 it became a daily publication.  The Reporter was re-named UB Now in Spring 2016.

His work has come to bt rtcogniud by securiry officials in the U.S. and abroad as a wry useful tool in the identification and interrogation of terrorism suspects. By applying computer ttchnology to the emotion-driven nature of nonverbal communication, Frank. an associate professor of communication in the U8 School of Informatics, has devised methods to recognize and accuratdy read the conscious and unconsciow behavIOral cues that suggest deceit. HIS restarch alrtady is employed by inv<stigatiw bodies around the world and, Frank says. " It can bt apptied to the training of securirycheckpoint personnd to help them odrntify and decode 'hot spots,' the subtle conversational cues and fl«ting IWhts of apression that betray buried ..-;ons or suggost lin<s of additional inquiry." Frank notes that a large body of prior restarch has elaborated and sharpened Darwin's observations about the evolutionarily derived oatwe of emotion and its apreu:ion.

For more information see, http://dublincore.org/documents/dces/. Description An account of the resource The UB <em>Reporter</em> began publication on January 22, 1970, a time of tumult at the University. It succeeded the newsletter, <em>Colleague</em>, and to this day, serves as the official source for "in house," internal news. The first issue included an editorial, "Why The Reporter?" explaining the rationale for the newspaper: <br /><blockquote> <p>The feeling was that the University lacks a sense of community—that communication is too helter-skelter—that too many groups feel alienated, apart. Somehow, it was felt, if these groups—faculty, student and staff—could come together on the commons and share their concerns and ideas, their activities, their aspirations and whatever else they have to offer, community and communications would result…But it will not produce instant community. Each of us will have to work toward that goal.</p> </blockquote> <br />The Reporter ceased print production in May 2009 when it became an online only publication; in Spring 2016 it became a daily publication.  The Reporter was re-named UB Now in Spring 2016.

New bridge design protects against attacks By JOHN D£UACONTIIADA Contributtng Edttor N earthqum engineer at UB has developed a new .. multi-hazard'" design for bridges that will mili them more resistant to terrorist attacks and earthquakc:s. The new structural dts1gn for bridge p~trs developed by Michel Bruneau, dirmor of the Multidisciplinary Center for Earthquake: Engineering Research (MCEER) at UB, will protm bridges from both seismic and bla.st forces, helping to keep them from collapsing in the event of earthquake: or tcrronst anack. A "'Since many bridges arc. or will be, located m areas of moderate or high stisnuc actiV1ty, and because many bridgts are potrnual terror 1st larJ!tiS. thCT< IS a need to devel op structural systems capable ot ~rfomung nJUally wcU und~r both ~nts.• says Bruneau, a prof<SSOr in the Department of Civtl. Structural and Envaronmcntal Engineering in the School of Engineering and Applied Scicncts. Bruneau's design for bridge p1en----<he columns that support the bndge superstructure<-is mtcndcd for small- and mediumsized bridges commonly oonstructed over major highways or across bodies of water. As targets for terrorist anacks, these brldses l1lll)' not have tbt symbolic allure of the Brooklyn Bridge or the Golden Gate Brldse, but th<y could be targ<ted because of the potenual economlc dtsruption their collapse would cause, Bruneau says. there lS a lot of interest in protmmg large. monumental bridses. Howev<r there are other bndges that arc utrcmcly important as bfelines to large ciues," he says. '"Terronsts tnl}' not aducve the same symbo'Jc saus&ction taking down one cf these smaller bridsts as they would a monumc.ntaJ bndge. but if their ob]<CtM is 10 disturb the economy, they haw more access to these bridges than ~ --..., Extreme Events the monuma1tal bridges.· Bruneau's bridge· pier design uses corroston-resi.stant sud tubes filled with concrcu, but wtthout reinforcing bars.

Most bridges built today are supported by convmtional mnforccd concrrte columns. These columns likdy would brcocb, leading 10 bridge collapse in tbt evmt of 1 major blast, Bruneau says. Bruneau's bridge-pier design had been sbown prmously to provide adtqualt sasmic protection, but bad not been tested for bLast resistance until reantly. In field tCSU performed II the U.S. Corps of Engine= Rtstarch Facility in Vicksburg, Army M1ss., onc-quanrr-scaJc: prototypes of Bruneau's bridge picn _,e subj«ted to blast foras similar to what would occur "if someone packrd their trunk with cxplosiv<s and tried 10 blow up a bndge," Bruneau says P<rmantnt bends, bu1 no stgru{ """' damag<, wen apmcnccd by the bridge p~tn as a ruult of the occotduts to BrtJDe>u •Howevc.r, ~n opuuon and results from software modelmg incbatt that a axnparablc ooncrrtt pier, ranforccd wtth r<bar. would haw ahibitcd "'!JJ16cant I<:SI blasts, �- ..__ . . ..,...._ ,.,.... .... ~ ..........

Tho answer to that i1 pretty rvi dent But tho lesson drawn from the: question is that there is no rca· son to undon:stimatt the importanco of tho arts.

"I f<<l that th< future of the: Dtpartrn<nt of Physics is rather bright and opens up variow possibilities for interdisciplinary raearcb," Zutic says. He holds an undergraduate degree from the Univenity of Zagreb in his nativt Croatia and a Ph.D. in physics from the Univer· sity of Minnesota. Before coming to UB this fall, be held postdoctoral appointment< at the: University of Maryland and a National ll<$carch Council FeUowship at the NaV21 Res<arch Laboratory in Washington, D.C. Zutic aplains the fundamental principle of spintronics by con!TaSiing it with conventional dectronics, wltich relies oo the charg< of clrct:rons. From early transistors to recent supercomputers, electronic &vices =ploy circuits that apress data as binary digits-<>nes and zeroes represented by the existence or absrna of electric charge. Each electron, in addition to charge, has its spin, which is responsible for magnetism. "This propeny~in-has been done toward more ambitious applications, such as spin transistors or spin-based computers, Zutic says. One of the key chal- cation5. which has attracted inter· est from such companies as IBM and INTEL. He r<cently was awvdtd a tbue-yur grant from tht U.S. Ollie< of Naval Rncarch and a prcsti£ious, 6Y<-ynr, National Scienu Foundation CAREER award . In addition to his rcsusch, Zutic teaches an introductory pbylia coun< that, be JOYS, is tal= mainly by students major· ing in otbo:r scientific disciplinta. Although these studmu likdy won't neal co know about physics in depth in their futun careen, he Jays he hopes to leavt a mon gmeral impression. "It (tht COilfX) should be • way 10 mhana thc:ir ruriosity." Zutk says. adding that he Wllnts these .R\1· dentJ to mnanber his COW$< when they look at • speeding car or a &lling object. "I want to ~ "'"' that they think about physics. ..., when they kav< tht classroom." He describes .tht difference betw<cn pbysia and other sciencc::s as .. rather artificial." •This scimtific curiosity that w.'u trying to stimulate and <kv<:l· op in them (students} should be universal in the various fic1ds that they an trying to !TlllSkr," he says. Zutic moved to Buthlo with his wife, Sonja Povl...,n, who r=ived a postdoctoral research position in tho Deportment of Social and Pro-entive Medicine, thanks to support from Uday Sukhatm< and Mauririo u<visan, deans of th< CAS, and the School of Public Health and Health Profeuioru, respect~ly. Zutic says this university-wide respect for dual professionaJ careers cemented his decision to come to UB . Zutic says be hu found Buffalo to be a pleasant surprise. 1be rich , culrural lifr and friendly people quicldy made him f<cl at home. A cmified ski instructor who lived in Minneapolis for six years, he says his only initial disappoint· malt has been the weather. "It's rather warm," h< told the Reporter late this fall.

Th< IRDF is on< of three new progruru created last faD by Jorge V. Joct, via prmdent for research, to encouragt and enablt increaaed research and scholarly activity among univusity and faculty. "We arc .uy pleased with the response from faculty to tht IRDF program," said lOS<!. "Th< number, rang< and quality of tht oubmisswns cu:eeded our expectations. Wt hopt UB faculty will continut to ani! themsdva of this opportunity, as weD as tht UB 2020 Scholan Program, which is open to aU fiddo, including areas wbert attrnal funding is rart." Tht goal of tht IRDF is to E encourage collaboration among faculty aCfOil disciplineo for new raearch projectl that ultimately will attract external grant support. Proposals mUS1 be for new projecu within tht I0 areas of strattgic strength of tht UB 2020 planning proceas. Kmneth M. Trarnposch, :woci- atc vice president for ruearch, oaid proposals from 5-4 projectl rtpraenting nin• ochoob and 29 dtpartments wert submitted. IIMstigators on eight proposals wert asked to rtSubmit their proposals by March I, Trarnposch llid, adding that ht is metting with tht investigators to hdp thtm rtfinc their proposals to enhanct their chances of rteeiving funding. Tbt foUowing projects recei..O grants from tht IllDF: • "Behavioral Measures of Af,tRdated Hearing Loss and Its ~ vention," Michtal Den~ ~lo­ gy, principal investigator; Richard Salvt, Communicativr Disorders and Sciences; and Marth<w Xu Friedman, Biological Sciences, coinvestigators. Anatomka.l studjes conduct~ at UB's Center for Hearing and Deafness haV< shown that minocyclinc, a common antibiotic, reduces the loss of sensory hair cdls that dettet sounds in tht inn<r ear of mice, although it is unknown whether this improV<mtnt is accompanied by behavioral impro~ments in hearing. Tht goal of the study is to dettrmine whether minoqdine is ablt to prtv<nt or dday htaring loss in mice. R.esearchers say that if 1 drug is found to prrvmt or slow tht progression of hearing loss in a m.,use, it may be useful for treating human hearing loss. • "Seal• Effects on Musculoskdttal Design in Ttrrestrial Crabs," Scon Medler, Biological Sciences, principal investigator; Ktvin Hulmt, Ntw York State Crntt:r for Engineering Dcsign and Industrial Innovation (NYSCEDII ): Venkat KroVl, Mtchanical and Aerospace Engineering; and Scott \o\lhitc., Eu:rci$C and Nutrition Sc~nccs, co- in~s­ tigators Rcsnrchers plan to model the biomechania of locomotion in ternalrial cnbo from • standpoint af rcmv enp>etrins. mw biomechanical meuunmenu from 1M aninWi l'lli1Dina on 1 IJeldmill and analyu the cdlular and molecular orpnization of the muacla used for locomotJon.

For more information see, http://dublincore.org/documents/dces/. Description An account of the resource The UB <em>Reporter</em> began publication on January 22, 1970, a time of tumult at the University. It succeeded the newsletter, <em>Colleague</em>, and to this day, serves as the official source for "in house," internal news. The first issue included an editorial, "Why The Reporter?" explaining the rationale for the newspaper: <br /><blockquote> <p>The feeling was that the University lacks a sense of community—that communication is too helter-skelter—that too many groups feel alienated, apart. Somehow, it was felt, if these groups—faculty, student and staff—could come together on the commons and share their concerns and ideas, their activities, their aspirations and whatever else they have to offer, community and communications would result…But it will not produce instant community. Each of us will have to work toward that goal.</p> </blockquote> <br />The Reporter ceased print production in May 2009 when it became an online only publication; in Spring 2016 it became a daily publication.  The Reporter was re-named UB Now in Spring 2016.

That is, they must search for guns and kmves generally, not for sprcilic Beretta guns or Bowie knives they have h«n trained to recognize. Ytt it has • been unknown how the proasscs of ca tcgorizahon stand up to visual complexity or why they fail facing it. We filled thu rcstarc.h gap by creating a visualsearch and categorization paradigm in which participants scarchrd for members of target categories in complex displays." In the studies reported in the Journal of Exp<nmenta/ Prychology: GenD-al, the rrstarch<n found that participants had surprising difficulty detecting category targets in complex visual displays, dcspitr intensive category training and even when the targd was completely unobscured. In fact, cvrn a little visual complexity sharply reduced tht number or targets su cessfully identified ln the studies reported in th• Journal of Experimental Pr)'chology: l..<aming. M<mOry, and Cogru rion, thr rrscarchcn lrt the same tar~tr1s repeat tn vuual duplays from tunc to tunc so that partlo· pant scrc<ncrs could build up familianty with them.

Two passions recognized with award Johnson cited for book that examines influence of baseball on Ives' music ly KIVIN FIIYUNCO Rqxxtrr Contributor T imothy johnson has bern a baseball fan all his life, ever since he playtd the game a.s a kid growing up in New Hampshire. But music theorists don't often get to rub elbows with luminaries in the world ofbascball_, so it was a true honor for Johnson. visiting Frederick and Alice Slee Prof<SS<>r of Music Theory at UB. to r<eeivr The Spon- ing News-SABR Bastball Research Award from the Society for American Baseball Research (SABR). Johnson was rerogniud for his book, "Bas<ball and tht Music of Charles lves: A Proving Ground " (Scarecrow Press, 2004), which aplores the- role of the national pastime in the life of composer Charles lves and its influence on his groundbreaking musiC. The two other works that rcceivrd SABR awards in 2005 wt>rc a gu1de for pitchers by Bob Neyer and Bill James--an ESPN reponer and Boston Red Sru. con sultant , respectively-and an cncydoprd1a of intnnat1onaJ baseball by Peter Bjarkrnan. also known as "Doctor Baseball." " I was the only son of professional musician who went, I'm sure,"' Johnson says. '" It's great to be getting the same award as these grcat baseball scholars." Johnson gave a speech and rectived the award during a banquct held during the annual SABR convention in Toronto last August. Attendees included professional hallplaf"rs and the general manager of tho Toronto Blue Jays. He says the idea to explore the connt"ction between lves and bast-ball first came to him in about 1998. " It started out small," he rcmc:mbf:rs. .. 1 wondered why no on• had tver looked at Charles lves and baseball." What started as an article quickly grew into a book after a weekend of research at the National Baseball Library and Archi¥< at th< Baseball Hall of Fame in Cooperstown. Stovcral of h-es' picetS contain handwrincn nota that Johnson sar-; re·veal that the composer drew mspiration from baseball plays and players for some of the most inno-. vative works of the 20th century. lves is known as one of the first composers to use d uster chords, Johnson says. In one score, an o rchestra plays all but one note. lu the notes fade, a trumpet comes in to supply the missing note. IV<S' handwritt<n not< in the margin of the scor< rads: "Hit 'tm whtre they ain't. Wtllit ." Johnson explains this is a reference to ..Wee Willie" Kteler, a diminutive ba.scball plal"'r known not for the strength of his swing. but for his ability to hit tht ball whert the outfielders were noL Notes on a second unfinished score rtveal a musical depiction of a play between ctnterfieldtr Mike Donlin and sttond ba~man Johnny Evers. Johnson sap other works assign instruments to various "characters; such as an umpir<, coach and players. One work, entitled •All th< Way Around and Back." rises toward a crescendo and then reverses lo depict a runner rrturning to home after a long fly .halJ rums foul. The piece is significant bec.aUK it is the first known composition writtm as a "complcte palindromt." John · son points out. " lves came up with Oe'W musical i<kas hurd on the pictures he was trying to create,· he says. Johnson says his publisher was unsure at first if th• book bad an audience outsi<k of musicians and music theorists. Howna, while som< parts get fairly technical. h• says. "I think baseball fans dearly arc interested in it-that's what this award say>. "'I tried to bc inclusive .. . ! tried to put it into words that could be understood by a non specialist," he adds. Last se:m<sttr, Johnson taught "Charles lves: Compositional Techniquts and Cultural Contexts" to a sel<ct group of UB graduate students.

"Of all psyd10active substances with the potential to impair cognitiv< and behaviotal perfoTliW)ce, alcohol is the most widely used and misu.sed substanc< in the general population and in the workforce," Frone stated.

Description An account of the resource The UB <em>Reporter</em> began publication on January 22, 1970, a time of tumult at the University. It succeeded the newsletter, <em>Colleague</em>, and to this day, serves as the official source for "in house," internal news. The first issue included an editorial, "Why The Reporter?" explaining the rationale for the newspaper: <br /><blockquote> <p>The feeling was that the University lacks a sense of community—that communication is too helter-skelter—that too many groups feel alienated, apart. Somehow, it was felt, if these groups—faculty, student and staff—could come together on the commons and share their concerns and ideas, their activities, their aspirations and whatever else they have to offer, community and communications would result…But it will not produce instant community. Each of us will have to work toward that goal.</p> </blockquote> <br />The Reporter ceased print production in May 2009 when it became an online only publication; in Spring 2016 it became a daily publication.  The Reporter was re-named UB Now in Spring 2016.

Schack noted that because the issue is addr<SS<d by offidal uni· versity politics. the committee considered it "already covered." But other faculty members, including Judith A. Adams-Volpe, director of uniYersiry and <&~<mal relations for lhe Arts and Sciences Libraries, and WiJ!iam H. Baumer, prof<SSOr of philosophy, disagreed. Baumer insisted the document make a d~ statement "I do not believe that we can simply walk away and say that is coV<rtd by one or another regula· tion. lf that's the case, this whole thing can be thrown in the trash because everything in bert is COY· ered by one or another regulation in Some sc.nsc,"" Baumer said. LeeS. Dryden, dim:tor of int<r· disciplinary degree programs in the social sciences, and Shira Gabriel, assistant professor of psy· chology, also asked ror clearer de6· nitions of what the code refers to when it asks that filculty members "disclose pre-aisting nonprofes· sional relationships" with studenu. Schack responded that this includes a wide range of relation ship<. but added the int<nt is for faculty to be open about any kind of ties they have to particular stude.n ts in their classes. "Relationships that you have with students affect not only that individual studen~ but the other students in your class. If they baV< a ~rception of favoritismwhether they think it comes because you are in an intimate relationship or just because the student is your colkagU<'s childif they think ther< is som< sort of relationship that might cause favoritism to a student in that room, it could be probl<:matical for the morale of the class and so somebody in authority should be made aware of it and should com· pensate for it in some way.

Description An account of the resource The UB <em>Reporter</em> began publication on January 22, 1970, a time of tumult at the University. It succeeded the newsletter, <em>Colleague</em>, and to this day, serves as the official source for "in house," internal news. The first issue included an editorial, "Why The Reporter?" explaining the rationale for the newspaper: <br /><blockquote> <p>The feeling was that the University lacks a sense of community—that communication is too helter-skelter—that too many groups feel alienated, apart. Somehow, it was felt, if these groups—faculty, student and staff—could come together on the commons and share their concerns and ideas, their activities, their aspirations and whatever else they have to offer, community and communications would result…But it will not produce instant community. Each of us will have to work toward that goal.</p> </blockquote> <br />The Reporter ceased print production in May 2009 when it became an online only publication; in Spring 2016 it became a daily publication.  The Reporter was re-named UB Now in Spring 2016.

"We're trying to get the m<ssag< out to proftsiors wbo teach rdevaot courses and to our World Civ instructors," said lbomas Burkman, dinctor of the Asian Studies Program in the College of Arts and ScitnctS and a member of tht planning committee for the Dalai Lama's visit.

The Dalai Lama is schtdultd to visn UB in Septtmbtr 2006, giving a public presentation in UB Stadium, as W<U as speaking to smalltr groups throughout the unMrsity. Many courses typically indudt a< I(Ut some information about Bud· dhism. and of those, SOIII< may feature a syllabus alttrtd to coincide with the visit, Burltmao said. F o r eumpl<, "Spirituality in Social Work," an declive for studenu in the School of Social Work, will bt offtrtd in the spring stme~ter. Bonnie Collins, adjUDct profesaor of social work who's been teaching the course for about I 0 yurs, said that as pan of the course, students romplete a presentation on a rd.ision or spir· itual tradition with which they'r< unfamiliar. Studenu commonly ch<>O&< Tibetan Buddhism for tlus assignment, Collins said, and sh< plans to suggot lt to her studrnts and othcrwiK ~ them aware of the Dalai Lama's visit. Sh< added that she may teach the course again in tht summer. In addition, two uodergraduat< dectivts bav< been dtv<loptd <specially for the Dalai Lama's viSit. In "Tibet: Myth and Rality," which Burlaoan will coordinat<, a serits of sp<aUrs will lmd their insights on Tibet and Tibetan Buddhism, and bow they differ from common American perceptions of them. ~·s so much information about Tibet that is shallow and utopian," Burlaoan said. "The purpose of the arurse is to try to sift through the idtaliud images of Tibet and get to the heart of realities of lift and thought in Tibet." Tht course bas no prerequisit<s and Burkman mcouragts members of the geo<ral public to consider auditing it. It will be taught on Wednesday tv<Oings during the Spring 2006 sanesta. In Fall 2006, Jeanrtte Ludwig, associate professor of Romance Languages and l..iteranms, plans to u~ach a survey course about Buddhism. ~- .... , PLEASE NOTE ••• Ull 64S-NEWS for closing lnformatJon Foculty, staff, students lind the public looldng for lnfonnatlon about the unlverslly's ofll<:e hours lind ciAJs schedules during lnderrMnt an all -•tiler 645-NEWS.

Mary Adams Carey, wistant professor in the School of Nuning and lead researcher on the study, will investigate the potential of using a 12-lead d<ctrocardiogra (ECG) to identify more preci!ely paticr>t.s who will benefit &om a defibrillator. An ECG records the pathway of electrical impulses throush the heart muscle using electrodes, or leads. altllched to the chest, arms and legs. "Currently, the primary indica· tor of a person's risk for SCD and tht basis for determining who should be fitted with a defibrillator ts the left ~ntncular ejcrtion fraction,'" said Carty. The left ven - tricular ejection fraruon, or LVEF, IS a ma.surt of how much bJood the left ventricle of the heart pumps out with each contraction. "Since only one in five patients may actually bendit &om the dcvia, the 0051 impliations of relying ft. ly on LVEF are trcrncndous." Carey said.

For more information see, http://dublincore.org/documents/dces/. Description An account of the resource The UB <em>Reporter</em> began publication on January 22, 1970, a time of tumult at the University. It succeeded the newsletter, <em>Colleague</em>, and to this day, serves as the official source for "in house," internal news. The first issue included an editorial, "Why The Reporter?" explaining the rationale for the newspaper: <br /><blockquote> <p>The feeling was that the University lacks a sense of community—that communication is too helter-skelter—that too many groups feel alienated, apart. Somehow, it was felt, if these groups—faculty, student and staff—could come together on the commons and share their concerns and ideas, their activities, their aspirations and whatever else they have to offer, community and communications would result…But it will not produce instant community. Each of us will have to work toward that goal.</p> </blockquote> <br />The Reporter ceased print production in May 2009 when it became an online only publication; in Spring 2016 it became a daily publication.  The Reporter was re-named UB Now in Spring 2016.

No matter where their careers takt them, both Bortz and Gilbert said one thing they're sure of is the impact that UB had on molding their characters.

For more information see, http://dublincore.org/documents/dces/. Description An account of the resource The UB <em>Reporter</em> began publication on January 22, 1970, a time of tumult at the University. It succeeded the newsletter, <em>Colleague</em>, and to this day, serves as the official source for "in house," internal news. The first issue included an editorial, "Why The Reporter?" explaining the rationale for the newspaper: <br /><blockquote> <p>The feeling was that the University lacks a sense of community—that communication is too helter-skelter—that too many groups feel alienated, apart. Somehow, it was felt, if these groups—faculty, student and staff—could come together on the commons and share their concerns and ideas, their activities, their aspirations and whatever else they have to offer, community and communications would result…But it will not produce instant community. Each of us will have to work toward that goal.</p> </blockquote> <br />The Reporter ceased print production in May 2009 when it became an online only publication; in Spring 2016 it became a daily publication.  The Reporter was re-named UB Now in Spring 2016.

For more information see, http://dublincore.org/documents/dces/. Description An account of the resource The UB <em>Reporter</em> began publication on January 22, 1970, a time of tumult at the University. It succeeded the newsletter, <em>Colleague</em>, and to this day, serves as the official source for "in house," internal news. The first issue included an editorial, "Why The Reporter?" explaining the rationale for the newspaper: <br /><blockquote> <p>The feeling was that the University lacks a sense of community—that communication is too helter-skelter—that too many groups feel alienated, apart. Somehow, it was felt, if these groups—faculty, student and staff—could come together on the commons and share their concerns and ideas, their activities, their aspirations and whatever else they have to offer, community and communications would result…But it will not produce instant community. Each of us will have to work toward that goal.</p> </blockquote> <br />The Reporter ceased print production in May 2009 when it became an online only publication; in Spring 2016 it became a daily publication.  The Reporter was re-named UB Now in Spring 2016.

A "'There's a d<ball: soins on in (the fidd of) cpidaniology rigbt now; explains Bonnei, who joined the bculty of the Department of Social and Prnom~ Medicine in the Sd>ool of Public Health and Health Profesaions this semester. "Should WO< be doing things that only hav. public health ramifications ... as opposed to haviJ18 a better underttanding as to how aposures in general cause disease in humans! "The way I think about it," be continues. "is that )'DU want both. But I'm more comfortable on the science side of it.• · While Bonner may conduct purely scientific inquiries, it't easy to see bow his work could haw: wid~r implications. H~ studies why some people ore more vuJ. nerabl~ than others to cancercausing pollutants, sw:h as radon. pesticides ond the smoke from burning coal "Most of my work to dati: has been looking at environmental pollutants, such .. air pollution, residential radon, indoor air pollution, ond looking fur genetic susccptibil· ity to thooe pollutants," he says. For his doctoral dissertationwhich he completed at lm-Bonner studied ambient air pollution in Eri~ and Niagara counties going back to the 1950s, and contnstcd that data with rates of breast cancer in the uea. He and a colleague now plan to look into the link between air pol· lution ond mroardial infarction&. commonly known u heart atw:b. Bonner aplai111 that when air pollution data is COD· trutcd with hospital admissions for heart attacks, the rall: of heart attacb seam to go up a fi:w days after air pollution bas peaked "'Jba-e's pre1ty iJ>Od eviderlcz that air pollulian is. ~be says. Before joinins the UB bculty this August, Bonner spent two yean as a postdoctoral fi:llow at the National Cancer Institute. At NCI, he says. researchers were studying a region in Otino where people use a specific kind of coal to heat their homes that produces a type of pollutant called poly· cyclic hydrocarbons. There, rates of lung cancer fv exaed those or nearby towns that hav. similar demographic characteristia and rates of smoking. In those nearby towns, people heat their homes with smokeless coal Ew:n though Bonner earned his doctorall: fmm the UB School of Public Health and Health Prof...: lions and his wife is fmm the Buffalo ...... it didn't immediatdy occur to him when be started to loolr: for I job IS I urmaRty professor that be might end up right bade on the South Campus. "I bad been stntesizing about the direction my career should tala:, ond after about I year ond a half, I evaluated my postdoc ond realized I'd accompl.iJbed the goals I wanted." be recalls. At that point, be contacted his disserta tion advisor who, to his surprise, told him there might be u> openins at UB. The former School of Health R.elall:d Profeuio111 had been reorganized u>d renamed the School of Public Health and Health Professions when Bonner defended his dissertation two yean ago-before the rrot:ganiza· tion, the Dcpartrnmt of Social and Preventive Medicine had resided in the School or Medicine and Biomedical Sciences. " It does r.d a little awkward to come bade to the plaa J'OU were educated." he says. But Bonner adds that with the School of Pub· lie Health ond Health ProfesAool setting off the ground around the same time that Praident John B. Simpson bepn workins towud the UB 2020 initia!M, it felt lik.e the right time to be at UB. "It seemed lik.e it would be a iJ>Od time to come bock ond be imoMd in the buildin8 proceu.. be says.

So fv, the mOY< back to Buffalo has workrd out wc:U for Bonner, his wife, Patricia, who works as a pharmacist, and their three children: Isabella, 5; Aiden, 3; and Liam, 18 months. Tbey'vo settled in Hamburg. where his wife grew up and where Isabella now attmds kindergarten. "Hamburg is a nice, small viilase. ond ..., live rigbt in the vii· lase. so we walk places." he says. "It's nice not to bavo to drivo everywhere. and the commute is not particularly difficuiL "I lik.e the mow and the summers an nice; he adds, recalling the two yean he lived outside Washington, D.C., where the •urn· men are so bot 'You spend )'Dur summer going from )'DUf air-conditioned house to air-conditioned automobile to )'Dur air· conditioned office." rour Alito ''not an ideologue;' Albert says Alito's former professor calls Supreme Court nominee "fair-minded" . , ,IESSKA llfLTZ !lq>ontr Contributo< linoncW " - " ' Hodgson - coundoos hcuJ d - Studying pollutant-disease link ., JUSKA IIB.n L EE Albert, a longtime UB law professor who taught at Yak University in the early 1970s, worked closely with U.S. Supreme Court appointee Samuel A.

Alben says. "I think he was a superb individual." While attending Yale, Alito work«! as Albert's research assistant, and the two have kept in touch ow:r the years. While Alben says he doesn't read Alito's deci· sions or keep close: tabs on his political views. he has been pleased to S« his former student achicvr so much professional succc:ss. .. , guess I wasn't s urpri~d as hu carcc:r took off,.. Albert says. " But if somebody had told me m law school that this fellow was gomg to lx a judge in th~ Thtrd Circuit and then maybe more:, )'DU would ba"" looked at him quizzicaUy." Sam Alito graduall:d from Princdon Uniw:rsity in 1972 and from Yale University law school in 1975. He worked as assistant to the U.S. solicitor general. deputy assistant to the U.S. attorney general and u.s. attorney for the district or New Jersey before being nominat· ed to the Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit in 1990. On Monday, President Bush appointed Alito to 6U Sandra Day O'Connor's seat on the Supreme Court. Albert says that as a student, Alito didn't show the type of ambition many Yale students did during that rurbulent point in history. "He wouldn't be th< first to join some movement,• Albert rc:calls " Ht was concentrating on bc:commg a good lawy<:r and learning a lot of law.• Albert says Ahto was "senous, somber, on th e qUJtt s1dc," contrastm~ hu dc:mcanor with that of studentslik< Hillary Rodham Om· ton. who Alben also had m class. and who he says dearly wanted to make a name for herself.

"He's not an ideologu< and I want to moke that vory clear," he adds. Albert says that he's no more familiar with Alito's political or judicial philosophy than the nat American who bas been reading about him in the news for the past few days, and be says that conservatives are probably rigbt to be acited about the: nomination. •Do the conservatives havt a reason to beli""' h< leans in that direction?" he asks. "Well, that is correct. He's conserva~ in the S<nse that be bditves in the careful and limited use of judicial poWO<r. But I think that he will be a vory open-ntinded, fair-minded judge."

Darwin (a.k.a. Qydc F. "Kip" Herreid, SUNY Distinguished Teaching Professor in the Department of Biological S<Wtccs. College of Aru and Sciences) addressed issues that havt gained national attention with a local school board controversy in Primsylvania over whether intelligent design should be mentioned in high school biology clas.cs. " Darwin's. appearance on Oct. 27 in Lippco Concm HaU in Slcc Hall was not listed in the confer· cncc program and came as a surprist to members of the audience, who applauded as Herreid came on- stage in Victorian-era sarb, complete with waistcoat, watchfob, cape and top hat. Feigning confusion at the sight of the podium's not -yet-invented micropho ne, "Darwin" explained he had hurd rumors that creationist ideas rdut~ in his lifetime ~rt o nce agam o n the world stage. " Intelligent design is r~.ntiall y defeatist," Herreid stated. He said whenever mtdligcnt daign comes up agamst something for which there as no current explanation, its proponcms arc forcrd to declare the phmomenon a .. miracle." Herreid explained that in !be early 1800s, the Olristian pbilooopher William Paley populariz.cd the idea that cvuyt1ting in the unjvcrsc poSJC.S.ied a predetermined purpose and wu perfectly designed for that purpose. Paley gist Oy<le F. " lllp" ltonoold, ...,_,_ his tiMoty of ........ tJon at • conference last weft. inV<nted the popular concept of a "divine watchmaker," which claims that ~rything in nature is so perfectly designed that its purpose is obvious--just as som~n c who has n<vtr before seen a pockct watch can determine its pur· pose simply by observing iu pr<cisdy fun ctio ning parts. However, Darwin's theory argues that not everything in natun is perfect. •em. would have tho!J8ht !be ideas of Paley would CC2M," Hcrrtid taid He in~ humor with complcs of basic cvidCDcr that support cwlution. fk DOtt:d tlw numerous V<:Stisial orpoo and other Clltran<OUS fieaturcs in !be human body, JUCb OSICIIDO muoda, ....., no diorzmablc purpooc. 1bcrc arc at least I 00 wstigial parts in !be body, "" said.

"That is not intclligcnt design," he jolted. In order to provide some pcrspcctiv< on the great advances of the past two centuries, Herreid described the world Darwin was born into on Feb. 12, I~ same day as Abnham Linooln, he noted. The early 1800s was bcfo.-. the time of famous biologiJu Louis Pasteur and Gregor Mendel or psychologists Sigmund Freud and Ivan Pavlov, he said. There was no such thing as the telegraph, no theory of thermodynamics, no concept of DNA and , of course, no theory of evolution. Scicnti6c inquiry makes advonccs. he stated, whereas intelligent design cannot lxca~ it doesn't question wl-.at has not ~ lx= explained.. "That is the tnumph of SC1 encc," he said.

Description An account of the resource The UB <em>Reporter</em> began publication on January 22, 1970, a time of tumult at the University. It succeeded the newsletter, <em>Colleague</em>, and to this day, serves as the official source for "in house," internal news. The first issue included an editorial, "Why The Reporter?" explaining the rationale for the newspaper: <br /><blockquote> <p>The feeling was that the University lacks a sense of community—that communication is too helter-skelter—that too many groups feel alienated, apart. Somehow, it was felt, if these groups—faculty, student and staff—could come together on the commons and share their concerns and ideas, their activities, their aspirations and whatever else they have to offer, community and communications would result…But it will not produce instant community. Each of us will have to work toward that goal.</p> </blockquote> <br />The Reporter ceased print production in May 2009 when it became an online only publication; in Spring 2016 it became a daily publication.  The Reporter was re-named UB Now in Spring 2016.

Brady, chairman and CEO of Moog Inc. and a mtmber of the board of the UB Foundation. Howard called a rational tuition policy "critical" to SUNY's future growth and susttnance. Sbe pointed out that the O¥<r1l8< Buf&lo Stat< student comes &om a family of five with an ormual income of $3 7,500, and when tuition is raised. students and their fiunilies "find it difficult 10 tcacb back and find the additional reoowas to continue their education..

In dtv<loping such a policy, SUNY should consider "that which is predictaJ>k,-. incrernmtal tuition increases ~ more smsibk than our current practia of occasional large hilca that ltudenu and their families cannot prepare for, and institutions cannot oowtt on in advance.• In making his caK for a rational tuition policy. Brady noted that UB and other SUNY institutions provide the slrilled ~ needed by his company and othen. A rational tuition policy would provide UB and other SUNY sdlools with the tools to maintain and expand access to bigb.er education, provide a foundation upon which <ltl:dlenc< can prosper and provide Moog and other companies with I slrilkd workfon:e, he said "In the privat< sector.

By enacting a rational tuition policy, you enable UB and othen to plan on multi-ytor budget cydes and thertforr they can make prognmmatic decisions that wiD incrase faculty. facilities and a..raU aa:lltnee througbout tbe public higher education system."

CoursEval~3 is designed for campus-wide use with department-specific focus, and provides onlin~ acctss to survty in.strum<nU. collected data and reports displaying resulu in seven! combinations for all participants. Campuses that we CounEval~3 can tailor surveys to their needs by draiiiJ18 questionnaires rather than being confined to using a prtdetmnined bank of questions. "Evaluation and f<edbadr. on courses and instructors can assist in curriculum dtvelopment , accreditation activities and academic planning," said Edward Holmes, AMS director of business development for higher education. "As a direct rtSult of the feed · back from our current customer base of mor< than 80 schools, we continue to enhancr our onlim: system. It is flexible and customizable, accommodating different types of evaluation processes found on campuses.· CoursEval~ 3 displays respons· es and rtSulU of evaluation activities in a timely manner, underscoring the immediacy and importance of issues raised by participanu. Version 3.0 features both a sdf-assessrnent and a peer· rrview mechanism that allows members of a group, such as students or faculty, to evaluate thcmsdves and each other's performance. It also supports non-coursebased surveys for such plll'j)OS<S as poUing alumni, constitucnu within the community and groups wbo partner with the institution to provide experiential learning.

A long-time user of CoursEval is the School of Pharmacy and Pharmaceutical Sciences, which has talcm the course-i'valuation prDa!SS one step further to evaluate different aspecu of iu entirt program. "We not only we the software to evaluate our courses. but we also have launch<d it to our alumni to get pout-graduation f<edbadr. on how well the program pno· partd them for their careers." said Mark Sauberan. database administrator in the school "The system is very flexible.

For more information see, http://dublincore.org/documents/dces/. Description An account of the resource The UB <em>Reporter</em> began publication on January 22, 1970, a time of tumult at the University. It succeeded the newsletter, <em>Colleague</em>, and to this day, serves as the official source for "in house," internal news. The first issue included an editorial, "Why The Reporter?" explaining the rationale for the newspaper: <br /><blockquote> <p>The feeling was that the University lacks a sense of community—that communication is too helter-skelter—that too many groups feel alienated, apart. Somehow, it was felt, if these groups—faculty, student and staff—could come together on the commons and share their concerns and ideas, their activities, their aspirations and whatever else they have to offer, community and communications would result…But it will not produce instant community. Each of us will have to work toward that goal.</p> </blockquote> <br />The Reporter ceased print production in May 2009 when it became an online only publication; in Spring 2016 it became a daily publication.  The Reporter was re-named UB Now in Spring 2016.

Meeting this cbaDenge will requir< establishing dTectiv< and stable communication channels betw.m the variow components, as well aslowmng cDsting departmental and decanal barricn thai impede critical demenu of th< plan, such as cross-departmental hirrs., interdisciplinary courses. and shon- and long·tcrm collaborative projects, the document states. It also calls for a new admmlStTative infrastructure' to support such initiativt's. Th< fiV<·year plan is organoud around three phases of devcolop· ment, with funding requiremenu oocreasing with each phase. They are: 1) improving communication to position the st.r.ltegic strength, 2) seeding interdis<iplinary col- laborations and 3) submining multi-investigator r~arch and training grants, consolidating th< strategic strength. lmprovmg co mmum ca tion calls for: • Crea11ng a Molecular Rc<:ogno lion m BoologKal Syslems hom< page and liSts<TV • [)(ovrloping an .. mlcllmual inventory" on thr homt pagt ccmposcd of descriptions of fa< ulty research inleresiS, and avaol· abl< equipment, cell Uncs. anti· bodies and other r~e.nts . • Facilitating scrondary faculty appointmeniJ to mhana com· muniatioo betwttn groups thai prel<!l'ltly do nol intcnct on a daily basis. • t::lndoping cross-discipUnary courses. • Implementing an annual racarch day. Seeding in tcrdisciplinary collaborations would be facilitated by: • Appoinling two administrative/secr<tarial assistaniJ dedicated to this stralegic strength group to help prepare, submit and adminis· ler multi-invmigator grant appb· cations and handle day-to-day research -related needs. • Creating two-year, seed· fundong granu 1o two onvestiga· tors to support collaborati~ projects with a high potential for obtaining National Jnstitutes of Haith or National Science Foun- dation funding. • Hosting a national sympoSIUm on mol«ular rccogmtton in boological systems. Consolidating the strategic strength would compnsc· • lmplem<nlln~ a program of thematJcally drivm faculty bores a1 .10 rsumat~ start -up-package cost of $350,000, plw annual salary, for assistant professors and around $500,000 start-up. plw annual salary, for scmor mvesngators. • Supportmg an annual VlSttlng sc1entis·t stnn • Upgrading tht experimental and inte.Ucctual infrastructure essential to modem research by invatmcnu in enhancing the uni- vnsity's Ubrary system and desktop acx:css to major joumah. and invuting in heavily used, core research laboratories in a targeted and integroted fasbion while maintaining the ability to dev<lop core racarch laboratories using newly emerging tcchnologieo. The white paper calls for measuring the succas of these initiativ<s based on in<nased pubtication rate, enhanced visibility in the scientific community, modtrniz.a. lion and integration of the graduate and undergraduate curricula, and incrascd individual imestigator, multi -invatigator and croos· discipUnary external funding. Among aU the proposed initiallva, recruiting "rigorously select· ed ntw faculty" is tht most effec· llvt mechanism for acbicving the OV<r.U goal of increasing research actovity and recognition , th< doc· ume:nt states. M an example, it notes that the Department of Chemistry, which has added six new faculty membe.rs since 2000, doubled ill research granu and publicalions by 2004. "<h-.r the first three 10 four yean. unplcrncn11ng the programs oted (in this document ), particu· larly cross-fertilinng componcnu, should lead to four to .U: croos-doscipUnary granu betw<m in>'estigators cwrcntly mduded in the strength." th• repon states. ln addioon, the authors calculatr thai each nt'W assistant professor would bring in another 1.5 external granll within 1M: yean. and that by years thrtt and four of the prosram. pro- gram project and/or trauung graniJ obould be in review, with """"' funded by ,...,-1M:. •As I sec it, the beauty of this plan ~.. in iu using. faculty-ini· t:tated procas to arm. al ralistially adtievoblc goals." said BlumenthaL "'!'be ability of the clif. fermt inkrest groups rq>resentcd undet Mokcular R<cognition in Biological Systems to move beyond the concerns of th<ir departm<nts and to sec the potential gains derivable from the interdisciplinary approach has opened up som< truly a.citing scientific posst'bilitic:s. • It's now up to the group. and to UB lcadcnhip, to mcm: forward with impkm<ntation," be added.

A reception in the adjacent UB Art Gallery will follow. In tu. keynote. Waldron, a professor of biltory al the Univtrsity of Ponnaylvania, will rdlect on the significance of the Great Wall in the IS years sinu he wrote his book. While the Great Wall undoubtedly is Orina's most f.unous wall, its historical signifi· ancc and original function are ma:ttm of dispute among scholars. Some claim that it was n._ a single, ancient structure. but rather a highly discontinuow series of structures that reached its peak in the 15th or 16th carturia. Othen aplore the Great Wall u a myth largely produced by f!uro. peans, only later to become a kq symbol of national identity. Although Waldron's kqnotc on the Great Wall will kick off the confcrena:, conference participants will go far beyond the Great Wall to look at all types of wallsphysical and abstract. Sessions, to be held in the same three vmues as the art ahibition, will discw& urban, cultural and legal walls in China, as weD as their artistic, ~t­ erary and cinematic depictions. Papers to be delivered tackle issues as diverse as ~ Chinese government's silence on human rights issues, divisions in the domestic sphere, pathogens and "biological walls in disease and health care, and the barrier between the sdf and othDa in poetry. Participants will aamin< somt of the economic d.ivisioru facing Orina u well. "We a« it (the conference) as a step toward mort global awaren<~~ on the part of the univeni ty," says Roser Des Forges, 1 con· ference orsaruur and VB profes· sor of biltory. Walls arose as a central symbol in modem Orinese art and cui· turc in the 1980s, De1 forga notes. In 1984, China's Deng Xiaoping. an advocate of reform and openness, issued a call to the People's Republic to .. love our China and restore our long wall(s)." In the two decades since then, as the nation has continued to transition from state socialism to a markrl economy, Orinese artists ~ used rq>I'<I<Dtalions of various walls as a way to apress thonsdves and their take on modern im><s. Xiaoping's proclamation repre· sents a deep change in modem China's perception of walls, according to Des Forges. "There were a great many walls brokm down in the 1950s and l~"heexplaha, mostnoub~ the walls around the cities of Shanghai and Beijing. The Chi· nese govc.rnment let the Great Wall fall into disrepair as wdl. Tht stone and earth from these struc· turcs wcrC' put to what was thought to~ brttu ust as materi als for roads or agriculture. How· <V<r, in the 1980s, citiuns started to takc pride again in Orina's walls as symbols of national achi<Vement and history, Des Forges says. No Ionge WC"e they oecn only u barriers progrea or communication. Today, efforts to preserw ancient walls thrive. "What M ~now are two dif. ferent cooapu of modernity," soys Des Forges-ooe that 1«1 walls as barriet1 to progrea, the other that view~ tb_m l u a:n important symbol of Orina's past. "We're explofins (during the conference) some of these inknc· tions of the past and pram~· explains Des Forges.

Description An account of the resource The UB <em>Reporter</em> began publication on January 22, 1970, a time of tumult at the University. It succeeded the newsletter, <em>Colleague</em>, and to this day, serves as the official source for "in house," internal news. The first issue included an editorial, "Why The Reporter?" explaining the rationale for the newspaper: <br /><blockquote> <p>The feeling was that the University lacks a sense of community—that communication is too helter-skelter—that too many groups feel alienated, apart. Somehow, it was felt, if these groups—faculty, student and staff—could come together on the commons and share their concerns and ideas, their activities, their aspirations and whatever else they have to offer, community and communications would result…But it will not produce instant community. Each of us will have to work toward that goal.</p> </blockquote> <br />The Reporter ceased print production in May 2009 when it became an online only publication; in Spring 2016 it became a daily publication.  The Reporter was re-named UB Now in Spring 2016.

For more information see, http://dublincore.org/documents/dces/. Description An account of the resource The UB <em>Reporter</em> began publication on January 22, 1970, a time of tumult at the University. It succeeded the newsletter, <em>Colleague</em>, and to this day, serves as the official source for "in house," internal news. The first issue included an editorial, "Why The Reporter?" explaining the rationale for the newspaper: <br /><blockquote> <p>The feeling was that the University lacks a sense of community—that communication is too helter-skelter—that too many groups feel alienated, apart. Somehow, it was felt, if these groups—faculty, student and staff—could come together on the commons and share their concerns and ideas, their activities, their aspirations and whatever else they have to offer, community and communications would result…But it will not produce instant community. Each of us will have to work toward that goal.</p> </blockquote> <br />The Reporter ceased print production in May 2009 when it became an online only publication; in Spring 2016 it became a daily publication.  The Reporter was re-named UB Now in Spring 2016.

Th~ interventions will involv~ a total of ISO patients and will take plac< while patients ar< in the hospital. The typical detoxification hospital say is three and a half days. Blondell said. Participants will be aJ<isned ran· domly to one of three sroups: a "usual care" f!IOtiJ'> a professionalcounselins f!IOup and a group that will participate in a DOYel, peerdelivered " 12-step facilitltion" ddi=ed by trained volunte<rs who or<~ from alcoholism. "Usual care" in this detoxification unit involves a physical exam. an intervir:w 'fti th a OlSC' manager to plan for aftercare and twi c~- a ­ day group discussion sessions.

MET, based on a therapist-patient relationship, comprises a discussion or. the pr011 and cons of drinking and factors that broulht t:..e patient to treatment The therapist prqvides feedbaa, addresses lons-tenn consequences of alcohol abUS<, rn&Us a plan with the client for aftttcare and attempts to generate motivation to change. The thin! and navd inlen'mtion employs pam of vo)lJDtee[$ trained in Blonddl's "1'=-Ddivm:d.'JWdvt Step Focilitltion," or P-TSF. This interpersonal approach calls for volunte<rs to approach the patient as a friend They talk about their own apcriences with alcohol problems and describe how they changed their !Ms. They reR:r to alcoholism as a fiual illness, apress the difficulty of ovm:oming 11 with out help. attempt to instill hope and discuss a spiritual aspect of~ without discussing religion.

Description An account of the resource The UB <em>Reporter</em> began publication on January 22, 1970, a time of tumult at the University. It succeeded the newsletter, <em>Colleague</em>, and to this day, serves as the official source for "in house," internal news. The first issue included an editorial, "Why The Reporter?" explaining the rationale for the newspaper: <br /><blockquote> <p>The feeling was that the University lacks a sense of community—that communication is too helter-skelter—that too many groups feel alienated, apart. Somehow, it was felt, if these groups—faculty, student and staff—could come together on the commons and share their concerns and ideas, their activities, their aspirations and whatever else they have to offer, community and communications would result…But it will not produce instant community. Each of us will have to work toward that goal.</p> </blockquote> <br />The Reporter ceased print production in May 2009 when it became an online only publication; in Spring 2016 it became a daily publication.  The Reporter was re-named UB Now in Spring 2016.

"Am<rican potitics nationally IS now quit< equally balanced between the Democrats and R<publicans, and likely will r<main that way," h< says. "So th< 2008 d<CtJon, lik< 2000 and 2004, should M a close one." According to Campbell, th< net result of the 2004 campaign was quite small, shifting no more than one percentage point of the vote m Bush's favor.

"Some disapproving voters may still vott for the prcsidmt rather than his opponent. • • Candidates ahead in the polls at Labor Day sddom lOS< d<ctions.

A majority of the dec torat< consist<ntly regarded Bu.ob as the candidate who shared their values.

Description An account of the resource The UB <em>Reporter</em> began publication on January 22, 1970, a time of tumult at the University. It succeeded the newsletter, <em>Colleague</em>, and to this day, serves as the official source for "in house," internal news. The first issue included an editorial, "Why The Reporter?" explaining the rationale for the newspaper: <br /><blockquote> <p>The feeling was that the University lacks a sense of community—that communication is too helter-skelter—that too many groups feel alienated, apart. Somehow, it was felt, if these groups—faculty, student and staff—could come together on the commons and share their concerns and ideas, their activities, their aspirations and whatever else they have to offer, community and communications would result…But it will not produce instant community. Each of us will have to work toward that goal.</p> </blockquote> <br />The Reporter ceased print production in May 2009 when it became an online only publication; in Spring 2016 it became a daily publication.  The Reporter was re-named UB Now in Spring 2016.

Even before leaving Buffalo last week, the MCEER cngineers were tt:leconfercncing with other raearchers, mostly wind engineers, to decide where they should concentrate their dTorts based on where damoge was most sevue and areas to which they would havt access. Starting when they arrived on the Gulf Coast on Sept. 6, thc team posted to the MCEER Web site daily findings that can be viewed at http://_.....,_ Their findings contain detailed reports and high-resolution photograplu of individual structures '" Biloxi, Gulfpon and other cities along the Mississippi coast that sustained a range of damoge, such as the Grand Casino Hotel and parking garagc, U.S. Route 90 and the Ocean Springs Hospital. "Right now, for structural enginoen, the Web sit< is probably thc best aourcr of information about damagc in somc of the affected areas," said Gilberta Mosqueda, assistant professor of civil, structural and environmental eng.i- nttring and leader of the team. Hc and his colkagues hope that the site will spur collaborations bctwem engineers to begin assessing damage from a multi-hazard perspective. Somc of thc most costly damoge the engineers saw was similar to what occurs after an earthquake. "Sometimes we will see no mojor damage 10 a structure, but damagc to equipment and Olber nonsttuc· twa1 romponmu insidc the build'"8 that wiD put it compl<tdy out of servia: and we SOW I lot of that on the Gulf Coast." said Mosqueda.

J UB offers jobs to displaced workers o By JUSKA IW.TZ Rtpan~ Contnbutor I N addition to mrolling at least 12 studenu from schoob in the area affected by Hurricane Katrina, UB hopes to offer jobs to dispbccd student affairs pmonnd. and will continue a variety of fund-raising effons through October and beyond. "I'm always impressed by how quickly pcoplc can focus on something that's very alien to them, and how creativdy they can respond," said Dennis Black, vier president for student affairs. "Lou of people sec something likt this. and they stop and watch it on lV. or they go to thc Web sites. Other people stop and look at that and soy 'What can we do' ' I'm always so Impressed by those who thtnk quickly."

Black said. "Onc thought was, wouldn't that be an ideal situation for somebody who was displaced from thc Gulf Coast?" Student Affairs has found four vacancies that could be filled by displaced personnel. Appoint· mcnts will be temporary--either thr« or six mont.h$--.a.nd if the new <mployus decide they likt Buf&lo so much that they want to stay permanently, they would bc eligible to competc in the search for a permanent penon to fill the position, Black said.

The paper itself otlm analylis of the current state o( the aru at UB, beginning with an assessment of its historic strengths. It also considers walmases in tbe ans at UB, in particular a need to restore strength to disciplines that, Felder says, " bave btm savaged over the past ICH 5 years." and details mrtbods by wbi<:b tbis situation can be reversed. Although the draft of the wbite paper indicated that the restora tion of the disciplines mwt bt the precursor to effectiYe trans-disciplinary collaboration, committee membtrs made it clear that the degree of such collaboration alone should not bt the gauge by wbi<:b artistic research and ~rformana are........! and funded It was no~ that many artiou work in isolation-former UB faculty membtr and Nobel Laur<ak ).M . Cortue wu cited as an aamplt by Ouutian-and that without otrong, individual work who~ <kvdopmmt is supported by dclibtrat< administra- tive action, interdiKiplinary productions may bt no more than dilettantism. Tht COI1IIIIitltt -..! that tndltiooally, much public attmtioo bas btm paid to a.mplary """"' in conumporvy music compooitioo and periJnnana and the lituvy arts. Hownu, c:mergiJI8 faculty raean:b and craiM activity, particularly IIDOII(! m:attly hired junior faculty, focus on DOW areas of mcl<avor that sugat tmtrJing artistic stftll8llu at UB that should bt broodly and clteply supporttd. Among than is the 6dd of "moving-image collaboration," art study, 6lm studies, 6lm and performance production, restarch at the intc:nection of aru and ttchnology, tat-sound performance, and theater and dane<. To capitaliu on thtst stm>gths, the paper proposes a numbtr of vmturn. including a summer arts institute, a new national film festival and a ntw national initiativt for the pri!KIVlltion of dance in America. Funding for such initiativt<, as wdl as for <kvdopmmt of current programs, wu discwsed at length. Those commenting noted that some insist that an-particularly apcrimental art-is a "product" to bt bought, sold and spun off into new bu.sincsses. They agreed that by its very nature-. however, a pioneering work of art cannot bt evaluated simply by th< money it brings in or the tiu of its audienca. The paper recoi1UD<Il<ls funding aru mcl<avors at UB througb an investmeot plan, induding a ccnttal subsidy fund based on a 35 percent tithe on faculty and administrative costa aaou tbe univ<nity. This. say the authors, could bt used to hdp I~ additional money from other sources. The univ<nity currently reports $33 million in such faculty and administrative costs. A 3 percent tithe would yidd $990,000 for tht cmttal fund, according to the committ«. The total, it said, is roughly companblt to the cost of one or two swt-up labo for DOW faculty in w scicntilic discipliDes. and oould fund lug< numbtn of creative artists and their activities. Cort Lippe. associate profomor, Department of Music, noted that w aitical connection with cultural studies and the sciences needs to bt flesbtd out in the 6nal draft of the whitt paper. lbat and other issues raised about evaluative processes, inclusion and other topics, as wdl as Sll8gtStions and comments from othen present, will~ incorporated into tht 6nal paper. committe< members said The commincr said it wdcomcs additional input from faculty members as it prepans the 6naJ draft of its wbite paper.

Description An account of the resource The UB <em>Reporter</em> began publication on January 22, 1970, a time of tumult at the University. It succeeded the newsletter, <em>Colleague</em>, and to this day, serves as the official source for "in house," internal news. The first issue included an editorial, "Why The Reporter?" explaining the rationale for the newspaper: <br /><blockquote> <p>The feeling was that the University lacks a sense of community—that communication is too helter-skelter—that too many groups feel alienated, apart. Somehow, it was felt, if these groups—faculty, student and staff—could come together on the commons and share their concerns and ideas, their activities, their aspirations and whatever else they have to offer, community and communications would result…But it will not produce instant community. Each of us will have to work toward that goal.</p> </blockquote> <br />The Reporter ceased print production in May 2009 when it became an online only publication; in Spring 2016 it became a daily publication.  The Reporter was re-named UB Now in Spring 2016.

Description An account of the resource The UB <em>Reporter</em> began publication on January 22, 1970, a time of tumult at the University. It succeeded the newsletter, <em>Colleague</em>, and to this day, serves as the official source for "in house," internal news. The first issue included an editorial, "Why The Reporter?" explaining the rationale for the newspaper: <br /><blockquote> <p>The feeling was that the University lacks a sense of community—that communication is too helter-skelter—that too many groups feel alienated, apart. Somehow, it was felt, if these groups—faculty, student and staff—could come together on the commons and share their concerns and ideas, their activities, their aspirations and whatever else they have to offer, community and communications would result…But it will not produce instant community. Each of us will have to work toward that goal.</p> </blockquote> <br />The Reporter ceased print production in May 2009 when it became an online only publication; in Spring 2016 it became a daily publication.  The Reporter was re-named UB Now in Spring 2016.

PAGES M ' more teat It Wdl site L IN oa Web site p mo« photo1 on Web A Mdlti. . .t linll. on Wdl liT of the blue on a Wednesday in June carne the phone call that would preoccupy the swnmer months of Sandra Mur· ray, UB professor of psychology, and threaten to destroy three yo:an' worth of her groundwork and research. Seemingly randomly and arbi· trarily, Rep. Randy Neugebauer, a Texas Republican, had targeted for elim ination Murray's five -year, $1. 7 million grant from the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH ) for a study of the behavior of married couples. ln an amendment anached to a $6ll2 billion health-and-education appropriations bill to be voted on by the House of Repre.entatives, Neugebauer sought to defund Murray's grant because, he said, it failed to promote treatments for 0 serious mental illness, which he said is the NlMH's main mission. Neugebauer's targeting of Murray's grant is part of an ongoing campaign, largely symbolic and politi· cally motivated, that has unsuccessfully targeted other NIMH grants awarded to behavioral scientists over the pOst three yo:an. For Murray, a highly respected sociaJ psychologist, having ber work singled out in such a way was, naturally, shocking at first. " It was surreal, like winning a bad lottery,• Murray says of the phone call she received from Michael Pietkiewicz, UB's director of federal relations, who had the uncomfortable job of informing Murray of Neugebauer's intentions. "This is my life's work; it's somC'thing I care very deeply about. To have someone pluck my grant out of a hat is distressing and frighten ing. It makes me vtry angry. The experience has been horrifying. The only positive has been having the support of the scientific com munity-colleagues and major scientific organizations have rallied to defeat the amendment and keep this from happening again ." According to Murray, the daim that her research does not support the mission of NIMH is "patently wrong." The Public Health Service Act, she points out, includes basic behavioral research as a funda mental part of the NIMH mission. "There are also very d ear links betw«n maritaJ disruption and dissatisfaction, and the onset of, and recovery from, seriow mental illnesses such as depression, schizophrenia and anxiety disorders." she says ...So if wt· want to rrouce the incidence of disorders like depression, we nted to know how to prevent relationships from becoming distressed in the first place. "The cost of divorce is aJso huge-in 2002, divorce cost the taxpayers about S30 billion." President-elect of the Society of Experimental Social Psyehology, Murray received the Distinguished Seicntific Award for Early Career umtribution to Psyehology in the area of social psyehology from the American Psyehologieal Associa tion in 2003. In 1998 and again in 2000, she received the New Contribution Award from the International Society for the Study of Personal Relationships. As the initial shock faded, Murray, with the assistance of Pietkiewicz, fellow researchers and v~filbs professional organizations. lobbied-not only to save Murray's grant, but also to protect the grant-review process from further politieal interferenae.

I am continually infpr<ss<d by the academically talented high school students who are applying to, and enrolling in, VB. In their cotleg<· selection process, they are demanding the most from their undergraduate experience. These high -achirviog students are looking to make the most of their undergraduate years in order to be as wetl-prepared as possibl< for graduate-school applications and job searches. The Center for Undergraduate Research and Fellowship is a direct response to the "additional opportunities" these talented students expect and demand from their collegiate apcrience. The office serves in several capacitia: It helps attract prospective students who are interested in pUrsuing research; assists current UB students and helps in retention: and finally, continues to benefit students after graduation, since the experiences students have bad helps them as the) pursue graduate studies and job opportunities. - d o r- define rese.wchdoes h 1 - " cre.otlve ty," like dance, IMUic: or - 7 Yes, not all research is done in the laboratory.

Fifteen undergraduate researchers were recognized during thr formal program, and a total of I00 student projects were featur<d during a poster session prior to that ceremony. It was a wonderful day, and great r«<.gDition for the students and their mentors. A simila r showcase is being planed for April20, 2006. Paramekrs of the poster event will be shared with students and academic departments as th<y are solidified. wr..t question do,_ wish 1"-d.ulted, - - w o u l d ,-r..ve ...sweredh7 Who is behind this successful endeavor? Faculty. None of thes< opportunities would b< possible without dedicated, ca ring mentors. Faculty members will be recognized for their involvement with undergraduate research at every opportunity. These projects arc not only bene.fic.ial to the students, but also to the mentors. The sharing of ideas, the fresh ways of approaching topics, the new angles on old theories can push thes<: works forward. It is amazing to see so many successes across our academic disciplin<s.

"My time as a VB student was truly memorable and I wish the same for the studenu here today.• Dela Yador, president of the undergraduate Student Association (SA), told students he came to VB fro m the Bronx in order to be amo ng other students from diverse cultures and backgrounds. He encouraged them to get involved on campus as a way to make the most of their college years. "Don't just be participants; be a leader,• he said.

B r i a n Greene, physicist and g round breaking string theorist, will present the President's Lecture for Science & Teehnology on Nov. 16. Greene is one of the world's foremost experts on string theory, which proposes that the particles that were thought to be the most simplified co mponents of atoms--electrons, neutrinos , quarks-actually are comprised of smaUer units, filaments of energy called strings. If correct, string theory bridg<'S the gap between quantum mechanics and general relativity, providing a unified theory of thC' universe Public bro1deasting talk show host Tavis Smiley will be the keynote speaker for the 30th Annual Martin Luther King, Jr. , Commemoration Event, to be held at 8 p.m .

Tht Nat>o.W Scienct Founda uon also had rtvicwed and sd<ct· td Murray's research proposal for fundtng. but Murray acctpttd tht NIMH grant because it providtd more finaDcial support. It is high ly unwual for both agmcia with rigorous and indoptndent pttt review proce:ues to approve a grant for funding. "When I fint beard about (tht amendmtnt), it prtoeeupitd mt for a month. but thtn I dtddtd to stop ruminating and gtt back ID work," Murray says.

Many yean of pnparation wtnt into tht grant application, and if tht projtct is stopptd. all of tht knowltdgt that could bt gamtd will bt lost." According to Murray, the attacks on grants awnded to ~havioral .sckntisu arc misan formtd and apptar to be part of a broader, anti-scitncr agenda within Congress. BehaVIoral SCIence IS a particula rly e-.asy pohticaJ target , sht says. btcaus< " hind sight biu" often alftcts tht casu.U observer's opinion of rhc ~rch's value.

" If we want to understand what makes a relationship work, we nttd to have a scientific undtrstanding of the issues. "Tht samt scientific principia art applitd to understanding propit's behavior as art applitd to undtrstanding tht behavior of electrons u.scd by scientists in othtr disciplines, such as chtm· IStry or physics." UB &culty, adnumstrauon and all of academt should fight to protect the pttr-rcvicw process from further political interference, Murray says,, because cxcessiV< political scrutiny of behavIOral science likely will spuad to other sciences as wdl. "Occasionally ptoplt ask me, 'Well, what did )<>U do (to haY< my grant singled out in the arntndment )?' I didn't do anythmg; I just went about my busintsS doing my research . Th:s can happtn to an~; Murray says. .. 1( Congre~ continues to reuoacuvcly defund grants. SCI ence as a whole is in a huge amount of trouble bc.cauK Congress doesn't have the expertise to dec:dt which kinds of grants art worthy of support and which art not. dentists understand that there 1s a limited amount of monty; that 's why there is a ~r­ rcvJew process that decides whiCh grants arc most sc1en tifi · ca iJ y mcntonous." �. . 1.21Mt37.11_1 Reporter 5 ElectronicHiglnways Web offers helo to ((fill it uo, 0 An inside look at UB ScNrtnt . - ,.tea ""' ~tng New program offers faculty glimpse at administration a, JUSICA IW.TZ Rtpon" ConlrlbutOf F OUR S<nJOr UB foculty members havt bq,un a now fdlowslup program designed to giv< them an maide look at tht university's administration. with the goa4 of both bcttCTmg the uno..,nity and helping bridgc thc gap bctwttn the faculty and thc administration The fellows m thc VB Faculty tn lnd<nhip Pr<>gram arc Sharmistha Bagchi-Scn, professor in the Dq>artrnmt of Geography, Collcgc of Aru and Sci· cnccs; Rajan Satta, professor in the Department of Industrial Engincrnng, School of Engonccring and Applied Scocnccs, Marilyn Morris, professor m the ()q>artmcnt of Pharmacro· Ileal Sctcnccs.

"!..at< Friends" {2005, C<:nter Worltiog Papers, UB C<:nter for Studies White Hor~· Jackson shares memories of one of America's fomnost literary and cultural theorisu of the last century. Fiedler was the Samuel Oernens Professor of English at UB in American Culture), Bruce Jackson shares with readers his experiences with his late, great friends, with an eye to the particular-and sometimes enigmaticaspects of their lives. Jackson, SUNY Distinguished Professor and Samuel P. Capen Professor of American Culture in the departments of American Studies and English, is the author or editor of 22 books. He has produced documentaries, important folkloric recordings, and many articles in national publications addreu-ing aspects of American culture, including indigenous music, prison reform, drug culture and radal politics. In 2002, the French govemmmt named him Chevalier in I'Ordre des Aru et des Lcttres, France's highest award in the arts and humanities. Jackson compiled this book of essays. he says. "as a way for me to sort of gather up my lak friends and haV< them tosether." He has an unusual cadre of deceased friends. He has taught at UB for nearly 40 years, and over the course of his career, Jackson has gotten to know some of th~ most important and influential literary scholars of the past half-century. In other venues, he has gotten to know and often maintained friendships with a dog named Randolph Scott, notorious McCarthy era snitch Harvey Matusow, and famed bouumgc Lionel Poilane (Jackson himself is an artisan bread maker ecrraordinairr). His late UB coUtagues discussed here are distinguished French philosopher and historian Michel Foucault, who explored the role played by power in shaping knowledge and greatly influenced virtually every academic discipline, and groundbreaking beat poet Alan Ginsberg, both of whom were visiting professors. There is his colleague of 37 years, world-renowned Black Mountain poet Robert Creeley, former UB Samuel Capen Professor ofPoetics. who had a major impact on poetry in English from 1962 in this day.

Jackson notes that when Fiedler died in 200}.-Q:ill one of the moot prominent Jews in Buffalo history and the moot important literary critic in Americ:a-bis family couldn't hm: him buried from a city synagogu< because he wasn'ta paid-up member. Jackson calls it "a mommt of perfect Buffalo Jewish loopiness" and says. "Lesli< would hm: kMd it." In the process of discussing his colleagues, Jackson illustrates to a new audieou why the UB English department was one of the most prominent and lively among American universities in the 1960> and 1970s. He writes, as well, about late friends who wen: intellectuals or characters, and sometimes both: Mary Beth Spina, a ro!Ucltiog, scratchy-voiced Tennessee native who was an idiosyncratic and unusually well-connected member of the UB professional staff; legendary civil righu attorney William Kunstler; popular Kennedy-era Buffalo congresaman Max McCarthy; Herbert X. ("Brother Herb") Blyden, one of the leaders of the bloody 1971 Attica prison uprising that provoked prison reform throughout the country. Some of the essays in "late Prit.nds"' wert written as obituaries; some for other pu.rposa and all hav~ ~en published previously. The book is sprinkled with photographs takm by Jackson and his wife, Diane Christian, SUNY Distinguished Teaching Professor in the Departmenl of English. It ends with an essay about a group of pals who wuen't people at all, but a series of family dogs, some funny, some noble, some tormented and some larger than life, not unlike the human friends Jackson honors here. An early mutt named Fido, for instam"c, . was a wary, longsuffering stray who came to sleep in the Jackson home every night. He spent most of his days in the house as well, but would not allow anyone to touch him. ln fact, if anyone put a hand nul to touch him. Fido jerked away. "Then, two yean after he'd moved in," Jackson says, ' he came up to me while I was reading in my chair late one night. He stood there without moving, his head dipped slightly. "I petted him. He wa@l!ed his mil, then moved his head under my hand so I would scr•tch his ears. When he had enough. he went over to the couch, curled up and went to si«p. "I sat in the chair crying because this dog had acttpted me. "You an'tlivt as long as I have and not haV< lost a lot of friends," Jackson says.

Description An account of the resource The UB <em>Reporter</em> began publication on January 22, 1970, a time of tumult at the University. It succeeded the newsletter, <em>Colleague</em>, and to this day, serves as the official source for "in house," internal news. The first issue included an editorial, "Why The Reporter?" explaining the rationale for the newspaper: <br /><blockquote> <p>The feeling was that the University lacks a sense of community—that communication is too helter-skelter—that too many groups feel alienated, apart. Somehow, it was felt, if these groups—faculty, student and staff—could come together on the commons and share their concerns and ideas, their activities, their aspirations and whatever else they have to offer, community and communications would result…But it will not produce instant community. Each of us will have to work toward that goal.</p> </blockquote> <br />The Reporter ceased print production in May 2009 when it became an online only publication; in Spring 2016 it became a daily publication.  The Reporter was re-named UB Now in Spring 2016.

The paper describes how the scientists used gene-nanopartide complexrs to activate adult brain stem/progenitor cdls in vivo, demonstrating th at it may be possible to .. turn on., these otherwise idle cells as effective replacements for those destroyed by neurodegenerative diseases, such as Parkinson's. In addition to delivering therapeutic genes to repair malfunctioning brain cells, the nanopanicles also provide promising models for studying the genetic mechanisms of brain di~. .. Until now, no nonviral technique has proven to be as effective as the viral vectors in vivo," said co-author Paras N . Prasad, executive director of the Institute for Lasers, Photonics and Biophotonics, SUNY U Distinguished Professor in the Department of Chemistry and principal investigator of the institute's nanomedic.ine program. •this transition, from in vitro to in vivo, reprQents a dra matic leap forward in developing experimental, nonviral techniques to study brain biology and new therapies to address some of the most debilitating human diseases." Viral vectors for gene therapy always carry with them the eotential to revert to wild-type, and some human trials have even resulted in fatalities. As a result, new research focwcs increasingly on nonviral vectors, which don't carry this risk. Viral vectors can be produced only by specialists under rigidly controUed laboratory conditions. By contrast, the nanoparticles developed by the UB team can be synthesized easily in a matter of days by an aperienced chemist. The UB researchers make their nanoparticles from hybrid, organically modified silica (ORMOSIL), the structure and composition of which allow for the development of an extensive library of tailored nanopanicles to target gene therapies for different tissues and cell types. A key advantage of the UB Turf Time Workers install a new generation of artificial surface called "Sportexe46" in UB Stadium. The project will allow the soccer program to move into the stadium and make it a multi-use facility. leapt's nanopartide is its surface functionality, which allows it to be targeted to specific cells, explained Dhruba J. Bharali, a co-author on the paper and postdoctoral associate in the Department of Chemistry and Institute for Lasers, Photonics and Biophotonics. While they are easier and faster to produce, nonviral vectors typically suffer from very low expression and efficacy rates, especiaUy in vivo. "This is the first time that a nonviral vector has demonstrated efficacy in vivo at levels comparable to a viral vector~ Bharali said. In the experiments, targeted dopamine neurons-which degenerate in Parkinson's disease, for example-took up and e.xpressed a fluorescent marker c~-...,.1 Foster to head regionalism institute By AllntUB PACE Assistant VICe President ATHRYN A.

Simpson and be part of his senior leadership team, will join UB on Aug. 29. · A Michigan alumntis whose degrees include an MBA from its Ross School of Business awarded this April, Manuel earned letters as a defensive tadde playing football under legendary c6ach Bo Schernbechler, the winningest football coach in Michigan history. His appointment, announced Friday by Simpson, comes just eight weBs after former NCAA President Gene Corrigan issued a report commissioned by Simpson that identified the hiring of an athletics director as a key factor to UB's athletic teams being successful in the Mid American Conference {MAC). "We hav. selected a director of athletics who is thoroughly steeped in the world of intercoUegiate sports at the highest level, and one who knows the critical importance of balancing athletic and academic excellence," Simpson said at a press conference announcing Manud's appointment .. In searching for the ideal candidate for this role, we sought to identify a leader who is fully committed to fulfilling UB's institutional mission of excellence-and one who understands at a fundamental level exactly what it will take to achin-e this mission," he added. "Clearly, UB has found just such a leader in Warde Manuel." Manuel said Simpson's "commitment to the oombination of academic and athletic excellence" was tbe major factor in his accepting the position at UB.

The studv involved 104 JduJts with COPD who were seen at the Buffalo Veterans Affairs Medical Center over 81 months. During this period, patients made 3,009 clinic visits, 560 of which were during exacerbatiom. Sputum samples were collected at each visit and molecular typing of organisms was conducted, as well as assays to measure immune response. Researchers identified 120 episodes of M. catarrhalis infections in SO patients, nearly half of which were associated with flare ups of COPD. There was no evidence that exacerbations were associated with acquisition of a new strain of another pathogen. "We know that M. cntarrha/U causes ear infections in childrtn," said Murphy.

Contributing Editor T'S only fitting that the world 's greatest rock 'n' roll group has a supercomputer named after it. "V2" has been selected by the Cen~r for Computational Research (CCR) as the name of its n<w<St and most pow.rful supercomputer, a 1,668-processor Dell high-performance duster that will be used to support university research ranging from genomics to groundwater modeling to the monitoring of human-rights abuses. In naming the supercomputer after the Irish super group, CCR continues its tradition of naming its computers after rock stars or groups that have been induaed into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum in Cleveland. U2 was inducted in 2005. " V2 is arguably the greatest cur· rent rock band and a recen t induaee into the Roclc and Roll Hall of Fame," explains CCR director Russ Miller, an amateur bass player and card-carrying "charter member" of the hall of fame, "so choosing U2 as the name for our biggest and newest I supercomputer was a natural" The center's three other supercomputer dusters are named (Janis) Joplin, (David) Crosby and (Graham) Nash.

The research, published online last month in the Proceedings of rile Royal Society 8: Biologiall Scie,rces, overturns previous work S Jn this butterfly species, females make the ultimate decision about whether to mate. The UB researchers altered wing-pattern elements by careful ly painting the wings or by pairing males displaying traits of different size and color. They th en tested female preference for wing size, eyespot size, quantity of eyespots on the wing, eyespot and pupil color, and pupil reOeaivity. .. Once we found a trait that appeared to be important, we then would exaggerate it or reduce it to pin it down;' said Monteiro. None of the variations induced on the ventral side appeared to have any affect on the females' mating decisions, leading the researchers to conclude that the ventral side of the wing does not play a role in the decision making. But when the .-.searchen paint· ed the whit<: pupil on the do...! side with black paint, thereby eliminating the pupil, these males were much less desirable to females by a ratio of t\Wl to one, demonstrating clearly that females preferred the presence of the white pupil. However, a large whit<: pupil, about twice the diameter of a natu· raJ pupil, also was'not found desir· a!* by females, indicating strong seositivity to a set of rather narrowly ddined featun5, sucb as eyospot pupils that measure approximately half of one millimeter. The most conclusive finding resulted when the researchen painted the white pupils in male ey<spots on the do...! side with a plant extract, rutin, which maintained the pupils' whiteness, but eliminated their ultraviolet -reflectivity. "\Vhen there was no UV reflectivity, which butterflies can see, females registered a strong distaste," said Montdto. "Selection against the absence of UV reftectivity was as strong as selection against the absence of a pupil altogether." The reasons for this phenomenon are complex, but Robenson noted that the UV. reflectivity may be important in what is known as photic stimulation-a flashin g light effect--<luring the series of events that lead up to mating. "When the male approaches the female, he opens and doses his wings in rapid succession so she can observe his pupils," she explained. "We believe the purpose of the fluttering of his wings is two-fold : to spread pheromones to her antennae and to stimulate her visually. The f<'m Jle appears to be very sensit1ve to this rapid flickering, which probably looks to her like a strobe-light effect." rience. the vision and the energy to take the institute to the next level and to build on its distin· guished past."

Developing an accessibility identity program Effort based on principles of universal design forged by UB IDEA Center UB associate professor of archi- By PATIKIA DONOVAN Contributing Editor tecture, and Alex Bitterman, assis- AVE you ever wondered what the wheelchair symbol that you see on park· ing spaces and public bathroom door.; actually mtaJU? That symbol is the International Symbol of Accessibility, and the Center for Inclusive Design and Environmental Access (IDEA Center), a major research center in the School of Architecture and Planning, is working to improve the design and its worldwide comprehension and recognition. The Univenal Design Identity Project (UDid) is funded by a $60,000 grant from the National Endowment for the Arts (NEA), which has substantiated the need for bener ways to identify spaces.. places. systems and products that Jrc accessible to everyone, regardl~ss of physical, perceptual, cogniIJve. economic or situ:Jtional Jbility. PruJL'Ct co-dircc10rs Beth Tauke. tant professor at the Rochester Institute of Technology, are developing an identity program to facilitate recognition of rooms, facilities, consumer products and user-interface systems lilce those used in ATMs and other computer-based systems. The team members include Beverly Mclean, research associate professor, School of Architecture and Planning, and Edward Seinfeld, professor of architecture and director of the IDEA Center, who serves as the senior project advisor. "An identity program usually consists of a logo and accompanying typeface, a slogan, soundmark or jingle, and rules for the use of those elements," says Tauke. "Creating a nontraditional identity program that can be used by everyo ne, regardless of culture, language, and physical, cognitive Jnd perceptual ability. however, is H quite a challenge.• . She points out that a bearingimpaired penon often cannot hear a jingle, for instance, and a visually impaired penon cannot see a logo. "We also mwt consider the 'meaning' that a particular visual symbol or tune imparts to individuals of particular ethnic, racial, social, age or ability groups so we don't send conflicting or offensive messages." Bitterman says the team's first step has been to investigate the public attitudes of a broad group of people in many countries toward accessibility symbols and toward univenal design itself. "Our research needs to rdlect real-world opinions of a very large section of the population," Bitterman says. "and by the end of the summer we expect to have surveyed more than 2,500 people ill 115 oountries who speak more than 75 languages and range from chi!· dren to adults over the age of I 00." ..We wttl use their input to pro- duce a univer1al-design identity program that features variety of new techniques,• Taun says. Bitterman adds that the program will aaed the legally mandated requirements for aa:essibility as defined by the accessibility guidelines of the Americans with Disabilities Act, and will have clear, cohesive characteristics and an attendant graphic standard. "The NEA maintains. that establishing an identity for univmal design is an important next step in order to insure that the concept is accepted and used by a broad audience of consumers, design professionals, industry leaden and academics," he says. Aspects of the program are being tested in a limited capacityat UB. The IDEA Center is dedicated to improving the design of environments and products by making them more usable, safer and appealing to people with a wide range of abilities. �Repa ...... ,7 Buffalo Film Seminars announces fall lineup o Controversial but landmark film "Birth ofa Nation" to kick off 11th edition ofpopular movie series . , SUE WIIETCHIII RtpO<ttr Editor T HE controversial but l•ndmark film "Birth of a Nation; will kick off the II th edition of the Buffalo Film Seminars, the semester-long series of screenings and discussions sponsored by UB and the Market Arcade Film and~ Center.

Description An account of the resource The UB <em>Reporter</em> began publication on January 22, 1970, a time of tumult at the University. It succeeded the newsletter, <em>Colleague</em>, and to this day, serves as the official source for "in house," internal news. The first issue included an editorial, "Why The Reporter?" explaining the rationale for the newspaper: <br /><blockquote> <p>The feeling was that the University lacks a sense of community—that communication is too helter-skelter—that too many groups feel alienated, apart. Somehow, it was felt, if these groups—faculty, student and staff—could come together on the commons and share their concerns and ideas, their activities, their aspirations and whatever else they have to offer, community and communications would result…But it will not produce instant community. Each of us will have to work toward that goal.</p> </blockquote> <br />The Reporter ceased print production in May 2009 when it became an online only publication; in Spring 2016 it became a daily publication.  The Reporter was re-named UB Now in Spring 2016.

ArtS Integrating research called key step· Molecular recognition group reviews white paper at follow-up retreat By LOIS IIAIWI Contributing Editor T HE integration of cur- autonomous rently research groups and their work has been identified by faculty members as a key step to leveraging US's strengths to build academic excellence in the area of molecular recognition in biological systems, one of the I 0 strategic strengths that are the focus of the UB 2020 strntegic planning process. A draft of a "white paper" based on ideas and discussion generated at an envisioning retreat held in April that was attended by more than 100 foculty members also identifies four .. pillars"-biologi· cal systems, molecular diversity, pharmacometrics/genomics and ;tructural biology-that represent the strengths of faculty members within the group and should be the focus of that effort. The document was p=ented at a meeting. attended by dose to 40 f.!culty memben, held Monday in 120 Oemens Hall as a foUowup to April's retreat. The white paper outlines goals. =ources needed, a five-year timeline for meeting goals and immediate steps to be tal<m to propel the process forward. The white paper also clarifies the central objective of the strategic strength: .. to expand the research interactions between the four major areas so that major challenges in biology ca n be addressed and the strategic strength will become much more than its individual components." Kenneth Blumenthal, professor and chair in the Department of Biochemistry in the School of Medicine and Biomedical Scierlces and a member of the group authoring the white paper, presented an overview of the document and recommendations for investments that will be required to accomplish the objective.

Prof authors page-turner on scandal By LOIS IIAIWI Contributing Editor UB physician has turned the inside story of a medical brouhaha in Canada involving sick children, a controversial treatment for the blood disorder thalassemia and the pharmaC<!utical company that makes il into a nonfiction best seller. The battle between whistleblower Nancy Olivieri, a dedicued physician at Toronto's Hospital for Sick Otildren; Apotex, Canada's largest pharmaceutical company and the maker of o drug called Ll to treot thalassemia; and some of Olivieri's colleagues at the hospital and University of l bronto made head lines around the world in the 199<b. Miriam Shuchman. the author. A is a clinical assistant professor of psychiatry in the UB School of Medicine and Biomedical Sciences, who teaches medical ethics at the un i~rsity. She also is a medical journalist and~ in that capacity, helped break the Olivieri story in the Canadian media. Her book, "The Drug Trial: Nancy Olivieri and the Science Scandal that Rocked the Hospital for Sick Children" (Random House Canada, 2005), probes behind the front -page stories to paint a full picture of the players, their motives and the fallo ut and repercussions from the scandal.

With no objections voioed on the draft tat and activities proposed in it, the ensuing discussion on Monday revolved around strategies to oement the structure and relationships needed to advanoe the group's work. One of the critical points raised was the need for a project managa to coordinate the "'strengthwide" tasks, and the question of to whom that person would report and where he/she would be located. It was agreed that a steering commi tt« needs to be fonned to oversee the tasks and the project manager, if o ne is hired.

Simulations are persuasive ~()Ols BylLUN IOOLDIIAUM Contributing Editor ROM courtrooms to the town clerk's office, la~rs and developers alike are finding that compUcated blueprints of new housing developments or static renderings that reconstruct accidents just don't cut it anymore with today's sophisticated audiences. Urban plannus, lawyers, engineers and othus are Sttking highquality computational tools to persuade skeptical audienca and, increasingly, they are finding that expertise in academia. The Center for Computational Research (CCR) in UB's New York State Center of ExceUence in Bioinformatics and Life Sciences is among thost: assisting companies and agencies by applying its state -of-the-a rt technologies to animating reconstructions of accidents or depicting virtual traffic jams in neighborhoods that don't yet exist. So far, the cente.r's capabilities have allowed two upstate N~ York finns to grow their businesses in new markets. "CCR is my secret weapon," said Charles Hixon, founder and administrator of Bergmann Associates Visualization in Rochester. Hixon approached CCR with his idea of turning the unsophisti cated traffic-simulation software used by engineers into a virtual reality simulation that· members of the public could understand. The main limitation was the depictio n of traffic as two·dimensional anima tions from an aerial point of view. Little green dots represented cars on roads and bridges. "Wi th all the science that goes into these simulations. the final F thing we show the. public is dots! " remarked Hixon. He contracted with CCR to have its Url>an Simulation and VISualization Team develop three · dimensional simulations of traffic complete with accurate local landmarks that spectators can view &om a driver's petSJ><CtM. The result is Streetscenes, a traffic-simulation software package developed by Henrique Bucher, CCR computational scientist, that allows audiences at pub~c hearings and boardroom presentations an unprecedented ability to visualize how proposed projects will affect traffic on their street and in their neighborhoods. The package depicts real traffic, incorporating into each scene realistic traffic speeds and vol umes, based on the time of day, weather and road conditions, and such parameters as whether or not there is a football game in the neighborhood that day. "With 5treetsanes, you can look at any intersection and find ou~ for <li3JJI!lle, 'What's traffic going to be like in front of my restaurant during and after the game!' or, 'How long will it take me to get to work once this new building is constructed?rn said Tom Furlani, associate director of a::R and leader of the Urban Simulation and VISUOlization Team. "There is a growing need for highly realistic visual simulations outside of academia," he said. "Our Urban Simulation and Visu· alization Team allows us to lever· age that im•estment, as well as ou r expertise in visualization, for the benefit of the community." Still in its beta release, Streetscenes already has generated interest from the Federal Highway Administration and the transport:Jtion departments of Florida, Minnesota, New York and Rhode Island. Bergmann Associates Visualiza tion group is using the software to simulate traffic at Xanadu, ihe massive sports, retail, entertainment and shopping complex planned adjacent to New Jersey's Meadowlands Sports Complex; a major league soccer stadium being constructed in Rochester; and a major road improvement project in south Florida. Also as a result of its collaboration with CCR, TVGA Coruultants in Elma is able to provide high-md, ~-dimensional accident-visualiia.tion snvices to its clients, whith include attorneys and insu(a.nce companies. The firm uses principles of mathunatics and physics to reconstruct accidents and analyu the data involvM to compute the unknown variables, such as vehicle speeds and changes in velocities. "CCR's expertise allowed TVGA to transform these calculations into a state~f-the-art, 3-D animation , thus realistically animating the story that used to be told to juries through storyboards," said Haseeb Ghurnman, head of TVGA's Accident Reconstruction Plus division. "What we do is take the traffic engineering data and present them in an animated, interactive and realistic fashion so that it's easy for the general public to get a mental picture of what hap · pened," explained Russ Miller, CCR director and UB Distin· guished Professor of Computer Science and Engineering. "With UB's help, TVGA is entering a whole new business, hopefully one that will lead us to add positions in Western New York," said Ghumman.

Yes, ma ny; says one of the newest faculty member in th e ~h oo l of Engineering and Ap)lied Sciences, who is an earthquake engineer. "The strongest one I felt was the one in 1987, the Whittier Narrows earthquake." Mosqueda also felt tremors from 6S miles away during the Nonhridge earthquake in January 1994, which had a magnitude of 6. 7. He was an undergraduate at _J.he University of California, irvine, at the time. But to Mosqueda, eanhquakes were just one feature of California living. , "We would get a lot of small ones that left you wondering whether or not it was an earthquake," he says, smiling. "By the time you realized it was an earthquake and decided to run for cover, it was over... In fact, Mosqueda makes it sound as if Buffalo winters are harder to bear for hiin and his wife, aiso a structural engineer, and their toddler daughter. "The job is great, but it's a little tough getting used to the weather here," he says. Despite having experienced earthquakes as a young man, the assistant professor of civil, struc· tural and environmental engineer· ing credits his undergraduate aca· demic advisor, rather than the temblors themselves., as the reason he beeame an earthquake engineer. " I knew I wanted to be an engi· neer and I opted for civil engineering," Mosqueda recalls. "But my advisor · was an earthquake engineer. During my meetings with him, I would constantly ask him about how to get more involved in research and after bugging him for a year or so, he finally gave me an opportunity to work on a research project with him." W The project involved experi mental testing of a roi>f isolation system to reducr the damage to buildings durin g earthquakes. Mosqueda's role on the project was to construct an experi mental model of the roof system. .. J viewed the lab work more as a hobby, building models and seeing how mueh shaking they could take before being damaged," he says... This ape:rience got me · interested in the field of earth· quake engineering, and especially in experimental res<ar<:h." Mosqueda feels he has landed on solid ground at UB, where the program in earthquakeengineering "is one of the best in the nation ... He beeame interested in hybrid simulation, now his chief area of researeh, through graduate studies at the University of California, Berkeley. One of his advisors there had helped to develop the hybrid simulation testing method several years earlier. It also is a subject be is able to study more thoroughly here because UB rea:ived two major equipment grants from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Network for Eanhquake Engineering Simulation, or NEES, fur resea.rcb· ing shake-table experiments and hybrid simulation testing. "U B was the only school in the country to get two of the 16 grants awarded to upgrade experimental facili ties as part of NEES, whieh total just over S 11 million," Mosqueda says. The grants were supplemented with an additional S I0 million to build the new earthquake engineering rescareh facility-the NSF's Geor~e E. Brown Jr. Network for Earthquake Engineering Simulation (NEES) Facility within US's Department of Civil, Structural and "'We can conduct a numerical simulation and replace those ele· ments which we are not sure bow to model with a physical specimen in the laboratory.

Good and bad news in Grokster decision Legal expert comments on court ruling on copyright law and new technologies By JOHN D£UA CONT1tADA Contributing Editor T HE Supreme Court's decision in MGM v. Grokste:r. announced on Monday, offers both good news and bad news for copy· right law and foUowers of new technologies, like P2P, aa:ording to Shubha Ghosh, profeuor of law and an txpert on intellectual property and cyberspace law. The good news, he says, is that the decision did not suggest that Grokster and Streamc:ast are dear· ly liable for copyright infringe· menL Instead, the court concluded that a trial was necessary to determine the services' liability. This result is different from the Napster case, in which the lower couns ruled that the service dearly was in violation. of copyright law. "The other piece of good new> is that the court did affirm the Sony standard," Ghosh says. "Under the Sony standard, a creator of new technology that per· mits copying is not liable if the technology has substantial noninfringing uses. Uability ,rests on the design and uses of the tech· no logy. The lower court held ·that Grokster and Streamcast are not liable under the Sony standard because of the design of the P2P service permitting non-infringing uses. The Supreme Court, howev· er, concluded that the lower court had misapplied the Sony standard by focusing exclusively on the question of design and not enough on the intent" Here's where the bad news starts. • The Supreme Court basically created another way for the creator of new technology to be liable fur copyright infringement," be says. "If the creator intended to induoe copyright infringement, then the creator can also be round liable. To quote the court: 'one who distrib· utes a device with the object of promoting its use to infringe copy· right, as shown by dear expression or other affirmative steps takm to foster infringement. is liable for the resulting acts of infringement b) third partie." Afttt Monday's decision, there are two potential pitfalls for creators of new technology. "The first, under Sony, is to c.rc- ate technology that, because of its design and uses, . has primarily infringing uses,• Ghosh says. "The serond, under Grokster, is to ae· ate tedmology with the intent to induce infringement by third par· ties. The' Sony standard focuses on the deoian of the t<dmology; the Grokster standard, on the intent of the creator. Eval;if the design of technology may ha~ a lot of non· infringing uses, the creator of new technology still can be found liable if his pwpose in creating the technology was to permit copy· right infringement. In Sony, the court borrowed from the law on contributory infringement in patent law; in Grokster, the court borrowed from patent law's rules about inducement," �June 311.

Research= led by Mira Edger- ton, research associate professor of oral biology in the School of Dental Medicine, discovered that histatin binds to a specific membrane protein called TRKlp, whi~ regulates potassium ion 8ow through the cell membrane of the pathogenic fungus Candida albicans and allows the cell to regulate its volume. The binding action of histatin acts like a "'foot in the door," said Edgerton, senior author on the stjl'dy. "Biockiilg tbe channel open allows a lethal, unregulated 8ow of potassium and other essential molecules into, and out of, the celL "This is the fim identification of a specific target for histatin," she said. "The finding paves the way for eventually developing a better therapeutic drug for candidiasis." Candidiasis, also known as thrush, is characterized by whitish spots and ulcers on the mem branes of the mouth , tongue and throat. It affects primarily people with weakened immune systems caused by antibiotics. chemotherapy or by diseases such as AIDS. The condition can be treated with antifungal medication in otherwise healthy people, said &Igorton, but it is difficult to treat in persons wit!> compromised immunity and -an be deadly if it infects vital orpns. Researchers were aware that histatin usually can keep Candida albiCJJns in check in per10ns with enough saliva and a healthy immune system, but they did not know precisely how. Through a series of studies, the researchen identified the targetbinding protein on CAndida albicans by creating mutant strains of the fungus without the target and · exposmg the mutants to histatin. Results showed that histatin was significantly less active when the suspect target was missing. Further research indicated that histatin binding to the target protein killed the fungal cells by preventing it from regulating its ions, the positive and negative charged molecules that move into, and out of, cells. Ions regulate electrostatic pressure between the cells' internal and external environments, which, in tum, regulates their volume and wattr content Cells that lose their water content without being able to regulate its reuptake die rapidly, Edgerton said "Now that the target for histatin has been identified, we can design a better protein that will be even more effective in binding and holding the channel opeo, causing even better and more rapid killing of the fungus: said Edgerton. "In addition, many other pathogenic fungi that cause disease in elderly individuals or AIDS patients also should be able to be killed by histatins or drugs designed to target their potassium channels." denbol .,..tlents would agree that the fewer dental X-rays they are exposed to, the better. Now, a new study by UB dental researchers has shown that one type of X-ray patients receive routinely, called the panoramic X-ray, could be used selectively in some cases instead of as a routine diagnostic tool. "You can't assess cavi ties or gum di.sea.se on a panoramic X-ray," said Lida Radfar, senior author OQ the study and an assistant professor of oral diagnostic sciences in the School of Dental Medicine. "If a small X-ray isn't good enough for a condition you ser in a patient. then a panoramic X-ray can be done. But our results show it isn't necessary routinely for every single patient." As the name implies, panoramic X-rays provide a wide view of the teeth, jaws and surrounding structures and tissues. Patients have a panoramic X-ray taken for an initial evaluation, followed by a series of close-up views of aU sections of the teeth, called periapical X-rays. A periapical X-ray gives a close and in-depth look at a particular tooth. A "full-mouth series" consists of a group of periapical X-rays taken of aU the patient's teeth. Nearly everything a dentist needs to know about a person's oral health is revealed by full-mouth periapical X-rays. said Radfar, d ispensing with the usefulness of the routine panoramic view. Radf.u and colleagues randomly selected 1,000 panoramic X-rays from records of patients who ...,., admitted to UB dental-school clirtics between January 2000 and December 2003. Tbe sample was composed of records fi:om 536 women and 464 men, who had a mean age of 52. Two dental experts evaluated the X-rays for evidence of bone lesions or other abnormal appearances that would indicate trouble. The evaluator1 found a total of352lesions and cqncluded that aU but a few would have been picked up by full-mouth-series X-rays. The only lesions that would not have been picked up on a full mouth series, said Radfar, Were those in the sinus cavities of the cheeks seen in 1.5 percent of the panoramic X-rays; those in the soft tissue of the neck, revealed in 4.8 percent of panoramic X-rays; and three lesions located in the upper portion of the jaw bone close to the temporomandibular jaw joints. "Based on our study, the panoramic X-ray has limited value," said Radbr. "Eliminating it as a routine pan of dental care would expose patients to fewer X-rays. although the amount is minimal, and save costs: And if it isn't necessary, why do it?• TMD-depression link found tM.-oe"• Persons with chnNc 1' dw cMsonlen, or TMD, are five times more likely to be taking antidepressants than per10ns who go to the dentist for routine dental care, a UB researcher reports. "Chronic pain has been associated with clinical depression in various studies, and we know that many patients with chronic TMD also suJfor fi:om depression.• said Heidi Crow, associate professor of oral diagnostic sciences and senior author on the study. "We were interested in comparing the use of antidepressant medications by TMD patients with antidepressant usc in non ~TMD patients." Crow and Jacob Froerer, a dental student at Indiana University where Crow was a faculty member before coming to UB, reviewed 50 randomly selected charts of patients who had come to the Orofacial Pain Clinic at the Indiana University School of Dentistry for TMD treatment. They compared TMD rec;ords with 50 charts fi:om general dentistry patients matched to TMD patients by age (within five years), gender and socioeconomic status. Their findings showed that 38 percent of patients seeking treat ment for TMD were taking antidepressants, compared to 10 percent of general dentaJ patients. "Generally, the thought is that chronic pain of any type, including chronic TMD, can lead to depression:" said Crow. "Certain antidepressants. typically those known as tricyclics, have been associated with pain relief, independent of their antidepressant activity. "Chronic pain is often a major component of TMD, and it can affect the prognosis of these patients. Knowing if TMD patients are taking antidepressant medication at the time of initial treannent is important because it can limit types of medications )'OU may be able to prescribe for TMD." Crow said.

Description An account of the resource The UB <em>Reporter</em> began publication on January 22, 1970, a time of tumult at the University. It succeeded the newsletter, <em>Colleague</em>, and to this day, serves as the official source for "in house," internal news. The first issue included an editorial, "Why The Reporter?" explaining the rationale for the newspaper: <br /><blockquote> <p>The feeling was that the University lacks a sense of community—that communication is too helter-skelter—that too many groups feel alienated, apart. Somehow, it was felt, if these groups—faculty, student and staff—could come together on the commons and share their concerns and ideas, their activities, their aspirations and whatever else they have to offer, community and communications would result…But it will not produce instant community. Each of us will have to work toward that goal.</p> </blockquote> <br />The Reporter ceased print production in May 2009 when it became an online only publication; in Spring 2016 it became a daily publication.  The Reporter was re-named UB Now in Spring 2016.

The scientific agenda has been solidified, oorporate partners identified and a formal organizational and governance stru~ adoptrd. Barely four years after Gov. George Pataki announced an ambitious proposal to create jobs and jump-start the New York State economy through the creation of high-technology "centers of excellence," UB's N~ York State Center of Excellence in Bioinformatics and Life Sciences is weU on its way toward fulfilling its dual mission of improving health care while· facilitating economic development in Upstate New York. " If you look at where we wcrC six to eight months ago, there's been a tremendous amount of progress; said Satish K. Tripathi, provost and executive vice president for academic affairs. 1't>rbops the most visible "'"""pie of progress . is the center's new building at Virginia a n d Ellicott struts on the Buffalo Niagara Medical Campus. Construction of the four-story building is on track for oompletion in November, with occupancy anticipated in December or January, according to Kevin Thompson , director of facilities planning and design, University Facilities. The building will feature two floors of information~ttchnology research space and two floors of Wd-lab research space- It will be connected via common corridors and a skywalk to new buildings housill(l the Hauptman-v.oodward Medical Raearch Institute (HWI), which was formally dedicated on May l2,and theCmterforGenetics and Pharmaoology of Roswell Park Cancer Institute (RPCI}, which also is nearing oompletion. Bruu Holm, ateutivr director of the Ullter of E=llence, points out that 500 scientists arc e:xp«ted to be working at the center within the next 6"" years-with half of those already affiliated with UB, HWl or RPCl , and half being new hires. The new hires, he said, will be made in areas identified jointly with UB deans as pan of the UB 2020 strategic planning process. Although part of UB 2020 (bioinformatia and health scienc<s are one of the lO strategic stm1gths of the l1I1Mrsity identified by UB 2020}, formal planning for the center began wdl before that for the other strategic strengths.

REPORTER Tho ............. _ Drag-racing doc is adrenaline junkie llylOISIIAIWI Contributing Editor 0 NE would think thai an eme:rge:ncy-medicinc physician who s~ds hours in the clamor and chaos of a hospital's emergencyJ department would want to pass his non-working time in a serene, peaceful activity, like fly fishiiJ8. One woodd think. But in the case of Richard Krause, one would be wrong. After work, Krause is immersed in the roaring, raucous arena of drag racing-whe~ automobiles morph into speed monsters capa- ble of covering a quarter mile in a few blinks of an eye: where lop fuel dragsters traveling 300 miles an hour leave the start ing line at five times the force of gravity. Krause is fast, but not that fast . .. Doc... as he is known around the drag: racing circuit, can cover a quarter mile in I0.22 seconds at "only" 140 miles an hour in his street-legal-but- extensively-modified '95 Camaro. ''I'm an adrenaline junkie," he concedes. "Always have been~ Krause, 55, ~:Is his working hours as on attending physician in the emergency departments of Buffalo's two iaigest hospitals and directs the emergency medicine residency in the School of Medicine and Biomedicai.Sciences. Real-life emergency medicine bears little resemblance to the drama depicted weekly on the Learning Channel's popular .. Trauma: Life in the ER'" or on the classic show .. Emergency." says Krause. "One hour of what they show on 'Emergency' is probably a year's worth of emergencies in a normal hosp itaJ ."' But because an .. Emergency" emergency could happen any time, constant alertness and the ability to react instinctively are essential, precisely the talents that make a good drag racer. Being a life-long motor-head also helps. Krause was born in Cleveland Like many boys growing up in the industrial heartland when automobile manufacturing drovt the economy and the car was king, he was infatuated from the time he could see above the steering wheel. " I've been fascinated with cars since I was a kid," he says. "I drove junk cars and motorcycles before I even had a driver's license. They would break down , so I learned by necessity how to work on them. My interest in racing is a natural outgrowth of that. "Racing was pan of the scene growing up," he says. "Street drag racing was big. It was illegal, but kind of tolerated by the police. We would find an isolated industrial park or sparsely inhabited it is.

Drag rac ing got its name from the slang word for street or road, as in .. the main drag"; therefore ..drag racing" is synonyrnow with street racing. No matter: For participants, drag racing always has meant two cars first person who gets to the finish line closest to that time without going faster wins. "It takes a lot of skill or technieal tricks to do that," Krause says.

Drag racing today is a mainstream sport supponed and regulated by two sanc- racing, there is always a oonllict between malting racing competitive and malting it affordable," says Krause.

Reporterl3 Briel I Selman selected for Humboldt Alan Sel.....,, profeuor of computer &den<e and engineering in the School of Engineering and Applied Sciences, has been selected to receive a prestigious Humboldt Research Award &om the Alexander von Humboldt Foundation in Germany. The Humboldt Research Award honors the lifetime academic achievements of internationally recognized scimtisu and scholars froin outside of Germany. The foundation awards up to 100 such awards annually. Selman, a recil(ient of the SUNY Chancellor's Award for Excellence in Scholarship and Creative Activities, plans to use his Humboldt award to conduct research in computational complexity at the Uni- versity of Wuerzburg. According to Selman:the goal of computational complexity is to provide mechanisms for classifying combinatorial problems and mea$uring the computational resources necessary to solve them. Modern cryptography, which ensures the security of sensitive comme:rcia.l and governmental transactions, is based on .some of the principles of complexity theory. Selman joined the UB faculty in 1990 as chair of the Department of Computer Science, serving in the post until 1996. Previously, he was a professor at Northeastern University. He is a member of Phi Beta Kappa; Sigma Xi, the scientific honorary society; and th~ European Association for Theoretical Computer Science.

Twenty people are in the room, and yet somehow you can wne out the rest of the chatter and hear that one person ~gle you ouL A computer can't HE adage "You ..., what you cat" should be rephrased to include "and so are your childnn," based on metabolic research pioneered by UB researchers. Previous studies by the scientists showed that rat pups raised artificiaUy on a high-carbohydrate milk formula identical in calories to mother's milk developed changes in pancreatic islets, resulting in overproduction of insulin and obesity in adulthood. The progeny of these high -carbohydrate (HC ) mothers raised naturall)• also develop the same maladjustments, they found. The researchers now have shm•m that this metabolic .. malprogra mming" is permanent and occurs i11 utero, resulting in the next generation born to HC mothers carrying the HC phenotype. Rat fetuses had increased plasma insulin levels, increased mRNA levels of preproinsulin, a precursor o insulin. and increased insulin in the pancreas without an increase in body weight, pwma glucose level or a change in islet structure. They also found changes in the hypothalamus, the brain's center of appetite regulation, that result in appetite stimulation. While these studies were done with rats, Mulchand Patel, UB Distinguished Professor of Biochemistry and first author on the study, speculated th at there is good reason to think the mechanism could be similar in humans. "Obesity can be perpetuated via the maternal in trauterine envi - ronment," said Patel, who report· ed the findings at the 2005 Experimental Biology meeting. "Our earlier studies looked at progeny in the post-weaning period, so we didn't know how early this malprogramming occur=~ . Now we know it occurs in uttTO. We predicted that this could be the case, and our present findings support tltis prediction." Plasma levels of rat pups (2-HC) born to HC mothers returned to nonnal during the suckling period, results showed, but islets from 12-day-old suckling 2-HC rats showed a capacity for insulin over· secretion when maintained in a culture medium containing high glucose levels. By the 28th day, approximately fo ur days after weaning to rat chow, 2-HC rats once again had high insulin levels and showed a higher capacity for insulin secretion to a glucose stimulus. Even on rat chow, body weight began to increase around day 55, and 2-HC rats -.-. obese by post-natal day 100. Patel speculated that in humans. it's possible such malprogramming could be interrupt· ed if an obese/insulin resistant mother brought body weight and pwma insulin levd.s back to normal before becoming pregnant.

The areas of scientific focus, Holm said, are based on the specific areas of strength of the center's partners and the work the cen ter has been doing since its cre:llion in 2001 . .. We looked at what we have that's great, what we have that really needs work, and right now, what are the initiatives that we can go after and pull in,.. said Norma Nowak, the center's director of scientific planning. Nowak is director of the center's Data Intensive Analytical Bioinfonnatics Cor.e Group, which currently includes more than three dozen researchers in three areas: /~ bioinformatics sciences, functional genomicslsystems biology sciences arid bioengineering sciences. Among those researchers is feffrey Skolnick, professor of structural biology. The core group also includes the research group Nowak directs at RPCI, which has a long track record working on the Human Genome Project and in developing tools to look at the entire genome, rather than at just • one gene, in a single experiment. Nowak will be a featured speaker on bioinformatics and genome research, along with other renpwned experts. at a conference, " Beyond Genome 2005: The Future of Medicine Conference," to be held in June in San Francisco. The core group serves as a fundamenta l technology and support resource for center members, of working with groups researchers in the center's five focus areas: cancer biology, headed by fohn Cowell and Michael Brattain; neurodegenerative diseases, headed by L Nelson Hopkins; ca rdiova ~ular diseases, headed by fohn Canty; pathogenesis and biodefense, headed by Anthony Campagnari: and drug discovery and delivery, headed by William fusko and Huw Davies. More than 50 researchers currently are associated with the five groups. .. These broad areas give us enough focus to do our job in areas where we already have excellence, and at the same time they have enough b"'adth to them that we can do innovative things and work in other areas," Holm said For instance, obesity research is a "hot" area that deserves to be considered on its own, he said. But since obesity impacts on neurological disease and cardiovascular disease, center members are not p~­ duded from doing obesity research under the present busjness plan. Nowak noted that with the appointment i.n April 2004 of Holm as executive director, the overall focus of the center shifted from one that was highly theoretical and computational to one that ..actually directly impacts on health sciences and biomedical research." "The idea is that what we really want to do within the center is to i'mprove health care," she said. .. The road to the human genome started in Buffalo," she noted, referring to her work, as well as that of colleagues at RPCI. on the Human Genome Project .. We're just trying to continue that so you're not just making the tools that sequence the genome, but are using that information to better treat patients and improve the health-care situation ... To accomplish its work, Nowak said, the center needs genetic epidemiologists and bioinformaucians to analyze data, as well as those wlth strong backgrounds in the basic and clinical sciences. This is all tied together with infOrmatics, Nowak said. "The real dlallenge is to integrate medical records with the dati that comes out of the labs. And that will allow us then to clearly link those research tidbits with clinical_phenotypes." Nowak said researchers hope to develop better prognostic tools that would indicate, based on a person's genotype, whether he or she likely will respond to a specific treatment "We want to be able to tailor medieal care to the individual and not just to the disease entities," she said The key to all this work is computational ability, Nowak sa id, noting that scientists are no longer able to mp databases on their computer desktops and there is a strong need to store and process a lot of data while making it accessi ble to many scientists. Although it always has been affiliated with the Center of Excel- lence, the Center for Computational Research (CCR) now has a direct reporting relationship, Holm said. The new arrangement, he added, puiS CCR in a better position to attract funding from the NIH and the state, while continuing to serve the needs of the broader university community. The scientific discoveries made by center researchers wiU lead to new processes and products that are licensed to existing companies, as well as startup companies. To facilit!te technology transfer. the center has developed a commercialization resource network that includes such entities as the UB Office of Science, Technology Transfer and Economic Outreach (SfOR); RPCI's Technology Transfer Office; CUBRC (Calspan-UB Research Center Inc.); Bulfalo Niagar,; Enterprise; and Buf!Link Inc., a private, not-fur-profit organization geared toward developing economic development opportunities in the life sciences, as well as corporate partners and other oommunity-based organizations. For example, the center is working with corporate partner GE Healthcare, Niagara Falls Memorial Medical, Niagara University and BuffUnk to develop and evaluate the use of non-invasive approaches to cardiovascular disease, specifically regarding a new imaging system that can detect cardiac problems in 10 seconds. compared with traditional methods of inserting a catheter in the body, an invasive procedure that can take hours. The center also is working on drug production with such corpo· rate partners as Invitrogen, Amgen and Biogen. Holm noted that its work with the center has prompted Invitrogen, which supplies cell-growth material for biotech research, to keep its 550· job plant on Grand Island, and possibly add another 200 jobs. Holm and Nowak advised staff in Albany working on legislation to create a $90 million economic d~pment program tied to the centers of acdlence. The program. Holm said, will provide funding to assist in the earliest stages of licens· ing and product development , before most vmture capitalists are interested in investing. In a8dition, the center has played a key role in numerous events designed to promote th e work of the center and the advancement of the life sciences industry in Western New York. Holm and Nowak spoke last October at the Western New York Technology and Biomedical Infor· matics Forum, a cross-industry forum that provided computer experts a chance to connect with life science researchers and explore partnenltip opportunities.

TheMail Simpson advocates performance assessments . G Dear Colleagues: Measuring the progms and per· fonnance of our campus commu· nity and its participants is essentiJ.l to the success of our university. I support a campus culture where individual performance is assessed and measured regularly for all employee groups, and where o ur managers and supervi sors are accountable for this .important management role. Assessing employee perform· a nce helps to measure the success of our organization by providing employees with essential feedback and direction. Meaningful per· formance measurements also assist in broadening the understanding of the goals and vision of Human R<sowtr ServiCes in this department.< and the university. In addition, performance programs and appraisals are required as part of the collective bargaining agreements for state employees. I believe that assessing employee performance is a significant super· visory responsibility and that managers should be held account· able and should be assessed on carrying out that responsibility. I want 10 emphasiu that completing regular performance programs and appraisals for all and appraisals consistently, but that we do them well "frainingschedules and registration infonnation an available at http://- - . . . . u tfrllo.edu/. -/ drn/..,.,../ .

Description An account of the resource The UB <em>Reporter</em> began publication on January 22, 1970, a time of tumult at the University. It succeeded the newsletter, <em>Colleague</em>, and to this day, serves as the official source for "in house," internal news. The first issue included an editorial, "Why The Reporter?" explaining the rationale for the newspaper: <br /><blockquote> <p>The feeling was that the University lacks a sense of community—that communication is too helter-skelter—that too many groups feel alienated, apart. Somehow, it was felt, if these groups—faculty, student and staff—could come together on the commons and share their concerns and ideas, their activities, their aspirations and whatever else they have to offer, community and communications would result…But it will not produce instant community. Each of us will have to work toward that goal.</p> </blockquote> <br />The Reporter ceased print production in May 2009 when it became an online only publication; in Spring 2016 it became a daily publication.  The Reporter was re-named UB Now in Spring 2016.

They were joined for the discus· sion in 120 Cleme ns Hall by prow~ L hnk on h tltl.' p more tlhnl o \ un We-b J'\ Jddltlonoll llnh. on W('b fessional staff and faculty from the University Libraries, Educational Technology Ce nter, School of Architectur(: and Planning, Humanities Instit ute and Council on International Studies and Programs. A wide range of recommendations was made by panicipants in this assembly, one of several to focus faculty and administration interest on areas of strategic strength identified by the UB 2020 planning project. The organizel'3 of this retreat were Maureen Jameson, associate professor and chair, Department of Romance Languages; Joseph Conte, professor and chair, Department of English; Ted Pena. associate professor and chair, Department of Classics; Shawn lrlam, associate professor and chair, Department of Comparative Litcraturl!s; and Tamara Thornton. professor and chair, Department of History.

Several fuculty members expressed concern about the difficulty of <100- ests of colleagues. " I don't know half the people here," said one senior professor, uand that disturbs me because I just met several new faculty mem bers with whom I have a great deal in co mmon. Where would I ever run into them but here?'' After the initials session, group leaders met and distilled the results of dozens of concerns into six spc· cific areas where participants said oping team-teaching pmje<ts at UB and that new fuculty members with they would like to focus their attention: grants and related fields. uni - interdisciplinary com'"-d - ,.,. z in terests must �SIHI'----·...----d--thoy ---......

Participants organized again into groups to discuss one of the six foci. Reporting on the discussion group on grants, Charles Kaars, assistant vice president for spon· sored program administration, said that to increase UB's promi· nence in the field of literary, textu· al and cultural studies, it is neces· sary to increase faculty rtsearch and its visibility. To do that, he said, '"we need to articulate to all faculties in this disciplinary area the full range of activities that can be funded through grants." The group recommended that faculty members who have had success acquiring and/or have served on selection commin~s for National Endowment for the Humanities' and major founda tion grants advise their peers on :,ow ·o prepare proposa:~ to those sources of funding. It also cecom· mended that UB otTer preparatoq• grants or "setd grants" to help fac · uhy members prepare major foundation grants. Barbara von Wahlde. associate vice president for university ~braries, reported on recommen· dations from the library discus· sion group, which exprtssed deep concern about the changing face of academic publishing. Members noted that there are fewer pub· lishtn publishing small runs of academic books and very few monographs, all of which poses a serious threat to young faculty members trying to publish. The group's suggestions ranged from a request for better lighting in the ..spooky" stacks, which von Wahlde promised would arrive as soon as the library's new storage facility is open, to a more substan· tial investment from departments and the university in library books for new faculty members.

"This is the very rtaSOn for our research university's existence and it is the very e:ssence of what we contribute to the world around us." he str<ss<d. Satish K.

This is the socalled "mean girls" syndrome that has captivated the media's attention in recent years.

JOB LisTINGS Rrasad urges chemists to branch out Chemists have role to play in emerging fields of nanophotonics, biophotonics By EllEN c:cKDaAUM Contributing Editor HEMISTS have an important role to play in the emerging fields of nanophotonics and biophotonics, and the learning Cllf"'Vt' to enter them is not as high as is generally believed, according to Paras N. Prasad, SUNY Distinguished Professor in the Department of Chemist ry, College of Arts and Sciences. That was the message Prasad sought to communicate during a symposium, "Novel Directions in Photonics: Nanophotonics and Biophotonics," held during the recent American Chemical Society (ACS) meeting in San Diego. Prasad organized the six-session symposium with George Schatz, Morrison Professor of Chemistry at Northwestern University. Nanophotonics is the science behind light and matter interacting on the nanoscale, while biophotonics is the science behind the ways that light and biological matter interact. Both have mistakenly been C viewed, Prasad says, as falling more within the purview of physicists than chemists. "Since the beginnings of both nanophotonics and biophotonics, chemists have been making major contributions to these fields," says Prasad, "'but their contributions often go unnoticed. "'We need to recognize how much chemists have done in these fields already and to encourage younger chemists to continue that work." he says. Proving his point, the plenary talks in the symposium were delivered by chemists who are among the most prolific names in photonics and nanotechnology research , including George M. Whitesides, Woodford Land Ann A. Flowers University Professor at Harvard University; Jean M.J. Fr<'chet, Henry Rapoport Chair of Organic Chemistry at the University of California, Berkeley; and Virgil Percec, P. Roy Vagdos Chair and Professor of Chemistry at the University of Pennsylvania. " I think chemists may get intimidated because they feel they have to -learn a lot of physics to stan working in nanophotonics or a lot of biology to start working in biophotonics," says Prasad That•s a misconception, be continues. Chemists can start with minimal understanding of these fields; what is critical is that they forge key interdisciplinary relationships with researchers in related fields. "Just eight years ago. I knew very little about biology," Prasad recalls. By initiating research relation ships with scientists in other departments, he began to learn how his background in chemistry could be instrumental in solving some of the important problems in biophotonics. In 2003, he authored the field 's fmt comprehensive book on the field , .. Introduction to Biophotonics," and a year later he published " Nanophotonics," beth published by John W~ey & Sons. As eucutive director of UB's Institute for Lasers. Photonics and Biopbotonics. established in 1999, Prasad oonducts interdisciplinary research that has won him interna- tiona! r=gnition and resulted in several patented inventions involving quantum dots and novel biophotonic materials with applications ranging from photodynamic can= therapy to bioimaging to new dimensions in drug therapy made possible by nanomedicine. Most rocmtly, be has developed nanoparticles that function as carriers for diagnostic-imaging agents that enhance MRI scans. X-rays and other diagnostic-imaging techniques, and gene-therapy vectors that carry none of the immunogenic problems of viral vectors. "There are huge opportunities for chemists in these areas," says Prasad, who is invited frequeltly to oonduct tutorials introducing both nanopbotonics and biophotonics to chemists and chemical engineers. The ACS symposium featured approximately 40· chemists working on a broad range of nanophotonics and biophotonics research projects. including pbotonic crystals, plasmonics, nanophotonics and near-field interactions, bioirnaging. biosensing and photodynamic therapy. �ElectronicHigh'WGYS Senate misses its deadline a, - wig, associate professor in the Department of Romanct lan· HE Faculty Senate • guages and Literatures: Martha T. miaaed iu own deadline McOuskey, professor tn the Law yesterday, the date of iu School; Nickenon; and Samuel final meeting of the D.

Friday's program was a vivid illustration that we have much to celebrate at VB in terms of the accomplishments of our faculty, staff and students, and truly captured the essence of our academic mission. The manifestation of that mission , as reflected through the accomplishments of our students in research , scholarship and the performing arts that were highlighted on stage during the program and i.n poster presentations by more than 100 undergraduate students in the atrium of the Center for the Arts. was truly inspirational. The breadth and depth of the accomplishments of the faculty and staff singled out for SUNY and uni · versity honol'li is remarkable. As we build upon UB's tradition and foundation of achi~ment and envision the remarkable opportunities the lie before us, Friday's event provided an opportunity to highlight lllld reflect upon what a truly special institution U8 is.

"This is a department that's been in a process of renewing itself," she says. " I'm glad l came here." She earned her B.A. and M.A. in English in 1988 and 1990, respectively, and went on to cbtain a master of philosophy in English in 1993-all from the Univernty of Delhi, India, where she was tenured as a senior lecturer. Sreenivasan completed her doctoral work in English at Jawaharlal Nehru University in New Delhi in 2002. She moved to Buffalo last fall after serving as a visiting associate professor of history at Kenyon CoUege in O hio from June 2003 to August 2004 , and as a visiting lecturer at the University of Washington, Seattle's South Asia Center in the Jackson School of International Studies from January to June 2003.

In South AJI•. course on " Islam and Muslims in Modern South Asia!' She offen several reasons for the growing interest in such courses at universities across the United States. First, a migration to the United States o f professional, middleclass South Asians in the 1960s and 1970s contributed to the growth of South Asian co urse offerings on American campuses, Sreenivasan says. because now the children of those immisrants are attending coUege and want to learn about their heritage. She ...-with....._. Chinese history expanded dramatically in the United States in the 1960s and 1970s. Sreenivasan says tensions between religious communities in South Asia have increased dramatically in the past 20 years. Whyl " l~s the million-doUar question for social science," she says. MThere is an immediate political imperative to try and understand what's happening so we can oomhat it." Sreenivasan is engaged in groundbrealting resean:h with a group of scholar> from the Univmity of Ariwna, Rutgers and the lirlMnity of!Dinois at UrbanaOwopaign wbo ""' working on a collaborat:M history of slo-r in South Asia-shedding new light on a long-shrouded topic. Her own resean:h for this project ~ters on a group of women and children who served as domestics in the elite Rajput society in India between the 17th and 19th cmturies. Srttnivasan says history always has enriched itself by documenting that which has been left out " If we an: striving to move toward equality of access, then l think it is important to r = - earlier histories of oppression, to document how the inequality of access was established," she says. Sreenivasan's area of special inter<St is historical memory-die wa}'> in which particular communities in South Asia remember their pasts, dating from the 16th to 20th centuries. She looks at a community's understanding bf history in both literary and histor· ical accounts, and then traces how the memory of some of these communities ends up being incorporated as a nation's history, while the history of other com munities beenmes marginalized. She currently is =earthing the Rajput, an elite, military, aristocratic society in northern India. This particular community of prollHiationalists resisted being integrated in empires. Tourists who visit India typically are herded through the Rajput's old fortresses and palaces, which are now archaeological sites. MMy undergraduates come in with the notion that colonialism is evil and oppresstve, says Sreenivasan. MOf course, it ls morally wro.og. but there are more interesting questions to be asked: Why did it succeed? Qearly, it W to have some local allies. Who gained and who lost ground?" Rushdie off~rs glimpse into th~ writer's life Novelist is final speaker in Distinguished Speakers Series for 2004-05 . lly ANN WIIITCHlll Contributing Editor England exhausted and died not ALMAN Rushdie spent most of his lecture at UB long afterward. The moral, Rushdie joked, is that Msome writers are good at this stuff, but it kills them.• giving his audiena an inti· mate glimpse of the writer's life, while also reading short accrpts from his vast liter¥Y OUt· put with obvious enjoyment The lecture included humor and observations about the politicaVreligious admixture in mndern society. " It's a really weird decision that you've made to come listen to a writer speak," Rushdie 10ld those assembled in Alumni Arena on April 28 for the final event in this year's Distinguished Speakers Series. ..There is actually no reason on earth why writen should be ablt to do this." Indeed, it wasn't a cus· tomary practice until Charles P.ickens popularized the form in the 19th century, Rushdie explained. Di<Uns's final Amerian lecture tour may ha~ been his undoing. as he returned to Rushdie has long sina emerged from the aile imposed on him, as ht was foreed to h ide from zealous Muslims intent on carrying out the fatwa issued in 1989 by Iran's AyatoUah Khomeini. Even so, on each occasion visiting a new place, like Buffalo and UB, "! almost feel the need to reintrodua myself. I never really thought of myself as a religious writer, or a writer about religion, until that particular religion came after me." Rushdie talked about the "autobiographical disease" that limits dis· cussion and understanding of literary works like his own. Often, one's personal life does enter a book. but not in the wbQlesale ~some. journalists would believe. For example, his novel "Midnight's <lilldren" was born out of a joke his parents told-a joke he bated S beeause it was told so often. The joke played on the ooincidencr of his birth in Bombay and Indian independence. "l was born in June 1947; exactly eiilht weeks later the British ran away." Rushdie later recalled the joke and employed it for literary purposes. deciding "there didn't have to be an eight· week sap." This autobiographical beginning led to the simultaneous birth of the main character, Sinai, and the birth of an independent India in a novd that won England's Booker McConneU Prize for fiction. "Childhood, one's personal life, is an incredibly rich, fertile soil to grow plants." Rushdie said. "But beginnings are not endings. Characteristically, in writing a work of art, you make a journey from something you know to SOD\ething you <rea\<·" · lliming to wider political ex>n· cerns, Rusbdie noted that "the problem of religion as a hostile fo""' is important to face these days. and not just in the East, but here." Rushdie read from his piece, ·n~ in ~· ob~g that it expresses "'genuine conurns I have about American education." He described the Kansas Board of Education's decision to remove the teaching of evolution from the curriculum and other inroads made by ettationists. And it's not just Darwin, Rushdie sai~ as the " Big Bang apparently didn't happen in Kansas. either.• Invoking the individual's right to tell a story however be or sbe sees it, Rushdie connected this theme with the wiU of a democracy. "W<'re constantly arguing among our· ~ families. as oountrieoabout the stories "We tell As a nation moves forward through time. people chmge the stories according to the ~ they're in. Deroocra<:r is not a tea party; it's an argument" To continually re-<:Umine these stories within us, he said. is the very definitioo of freedom. �SporlsRecap Commencement or any other thins which, in itself, b truly sreat and ennobling. and which dignifies the performer and Buffalo in the eyes of the world." Norton Medal recipient Lui% Kahl, chainnan of the NFTA and · president of the Vector Group, LLC, is one of West= New York's strongest advocates for regional d...IopmenL Siner his election as NFrA chairman in 1998, Kahl bas contributed substantially to revitalizing the local economy. He oversaw the $90.6 million expansion of the BuffaloNiagara lnkmational Airport, significantly expanding its list of airline carriers and malcing Buffalo a rtgional air transportation. He is spearheading the effort to develop Buffalo's waterfront, with the goal of providing the community with easy acuss to the harbor while encouraging further regiona] economic growth. Kahl's commitment to the publie good is similarly reflected in his servi._ to UB. A member of the UB Foundation since 1998, he has used his professional expertise to help advance the university,s mission, particularly in helping to steward its resourc~ and in shaping its investment practices and policies. In developing Environmental System s Research Institute (ES Rl) from a small consulting. firm into the world 's fourth largest privately owned software company, Jack Dansermcnd has worked to advance social and technological development in the Unit~d States and in more remote parts of the world. In the early 1980s, he revolulionized the GIS fidd by developing and distributiog ESRl's unique software to other firms and organ· izations, creating a oommunity of GIS wers equipped to handle the social, technological and environmental problems that ESRl seeks to address. Widely r=gnized for the far. reaching impact of his work, Dangermond has contributed immeasurably to UB's own advan=nent in GIS ...search, serving on the advisory board fo, US's National Center for Geographic lnfonnatioo and An.alysil, as well as on the advisory board for the uruv.nity's lntegJative Graduate ~ucation and Research '&aineeship in Geographic Information Science.

For more information see, http://dublincore.org/documents/dces/. Description An account of the resource The UB <em>Reporter</em> began publication on January 22, 1970, a time of tumult at the University. It succeeded the newsletter, <em>Colleague</em>, and to this day, serves as the official source for "in house," internal news. The first issue included an editorial, "Why The Reporter?" explaining the rationale for the newspaper: <br /><blockquote> <p>The feeling was that the University lacks a sense of community—that communication is too helter-skelter—that too many groups feel alienated, apart. Somehow, it was felt, if these groups—faculty, student and staff—could come together on the commons and share their concerns and ideas, their activities, their aspirations and whatever else they have to offer, community and communications would result…But it will not produce instant community. Each of us will have to work toward that goal.</p> </blockquote> <br />The Reporter ceased print production in May 2009 when it became an online only publication; in Spring 2016 it became a daily publication.  The Reporter was re-named UB Now in Spring 2016.

At UB, therr is a Wi<l<range of courses to choose from, taught by scholars within that discipline. Obviously, at a to smaller institution such as Binghamton, the choices are more limited.

For some pregnant women~ however, feeling joy is a psychological luxury they can't afford. These arc women who after one, so metimes many, miscarriages, stillbirths or newborn deaths, are pregnant again.

Rushdie argues that America and its allies must do a bener job of evaluating the gains being made by the current "'war~'> on terror versus its cos~in lives, international cooperation and the goodwill of the very people who the effort is designed to liberate. Rushdie's answer to the question of bow to create a safe world that isn't in some way also an authoritarian world is that we must not allow ou=lves to be frightened out of our own morality.

At UB's Center of Excellence for Global Enterprise Management, li lin, professor of industrial engineering, and his coUeagues apply industrial-engineering tools. including Six Sigma and other lean-enterprise methodologies originally developed for manufacturing p~ to imp~ the operations and competitiveness of hospitals. .. ln today's competitive environment, especially with the severe shortage of skilled nurses, the pressure on streamlining hospital operations continues to increase," said Lin.

We use computer simulations to analyz.e how patients flow through hospitals, while ensuring that the drive for dficiency d oesn't dehumanize patient care. As industrial engineers, we arc trained to always consider the human factors in any system." The simulations also are ideal, Lin says, fo r dem onstrating to hospital boards of dir<Ctors the necessity for new faciU ties o r staff. "Modem medical technology needs m odern management," says Lin . His computer simulations have helped Buffalo's Mercy Hospital envision how increased patient volume will cause mngestion in its surgical unit, necessitating and justiJYing the construction of new opcrat· ing rooms. They also have helped the Erie County Medical Center justiJY and d!icieotly design a new ambulatory-surgery recovery center. Cumntly, Lin is working with home health-care provider McAuley-Seton Home Care, a division of the Catholic Health S}'tem in Buffalo, to streamline the scheduling of nurses' visits to patients' homes In one proprietary study, he tracked the number of tests that each physician in a hospital ran to diagnose and treat the same disease:.·.

The computer animations Lin and his team develop visually display a hospital 's statistical capacity to handle patients ~n terms of beds, operating rooms, .pre- and post-<>peration facilities and staff. Un noted that computer simulations allow hospitals to ask virtual "what if" questions, testing how w.U their facilities and staff would support expected future changes in their patient populations. They also can pinpoint easily when: bottlenecks occur and how they can be reduced ln one case, Lin said, a simula· tion of patient transport within the hospital revealed that the elevators were a bottleneck.

Meng and her colleagues rely on medical imaging, such as MRl, or rotational angiography, to provide the patient's three-dimensional vessel anatomy around an aneurysm. "!lased on the patient's blood Oow and our understanding of how blood flow interacts with vessel biology, we try to predict the risk of an existing aneurysm rupturing." she said. "We look at the flow data, and we say 'Here's where the highest shear stress and pressure are and therefore this is likely or not likely to continue to grow and rupture.' We suggest to the clinician how the flow should be modified to reduce the rupture risk," she said. Meng and her UB coUeagues currently are simulating patient hemodynamics using techniques borrowed from mechanical engineering, such as computational fluid dynamics, a technique originally developed to simulate flows in engines and around automobiles, and particle image vdocimetry, which provides measurements of Dow fields. The goal is to assess the effectiveness of hemodynamic intervention, methods of improving the outcomes of strok< patients by redirecting blood flow. "If you change the flow in a blood vessel, the vessel responds by remodeling," said Meng. cr TheMail Stop littermg UB campuses with "ciggy butts" To the Editor: ground outside buildings to reuse It happens evuy spring as I tra- them before proceeding to class. verse the h.Uowed halls of acade- Maybe they taste better after soakmia.

Description An account of the resource The UB <em>Reporter</em> began publication on January 22, 1970, a time of tumult at the University. It succeeded the newsletter, <em>Colleague</em>, and to this day, serves as the official source for "in house," internal news. The first issue included an editorial, "Why The Reporter?" explaining the rationale for the newspaper: <br /><blockquote> <p>The feeling was that the University lacks a sense of community—that communication is too helter-skelter—that too many groups feel alienated, apart. Somehow, it was felt, if these groups—faculty, student and staff—could come together on the commons and share their concerns and ideas, their activities, their aspirations and whatever else they have to offer, community and communications would result…But it will not produce instant community. Each of us will have to work toward that goal.</p> </blockquote> <br />The Reporter ceased print production in May 2009 when it became an online only publication; in Spring 2016 it became a daily publication.  The Reporter was re-named UB Now in Spring 2016.

In a groundbrealcing new book published last month by Random House, however, Barbara Tedlock, professor of anthropology, challenges the historical hegemo- ny of the male shamanic tradition, r~torcs women to their essential piau in the history of spirituality and celebrates their continuing role in the worldwide resurgence of shamanism. Ted lock's book, "The Woman in a Shaman's Body,.. also presents empirical studi..,.that ftnd brinl!$ to bear an abundance of evidence to support her con~ tention that shamanism originally was the domain of women and that there still iJ a vital tradition of female shamanism in many parts of the world. Tedlock writes that the active pursuit of knowledge iJ at the heart of shamanic practice. She describes her own experiences as a shamanic trainee among the Maya of Guatemala and her experiena with dreams. proph~ and healing. She also talces her readeR from the wooJed hilli of the Czech Republic to the Kutenai people of Washington Stllte; from the Ama- common shamanic practices f to be very effective in medical terms and discusses why this is the case Ashamani5 one who has been initiated into the ancient tradition of wallcing "between" this and other worlds while in a state of ecstatic trance known as .. shamanic ecstasy" or "shamanic flight." ln tliis state, the shaman acts as a bridge between worlds and uses knowl edge gained there to work with communities or individuals. SkiJis attributed to shamans indude various forms of divina- tion; shape-cha.nging; control over the elements; healing; soul retrieval or accompaniment; the ability to see, hear or send messages over great distances; and obtllining the cooperation of animal and nature spirits. The granddaughter of an Ojibwe shaman and herself an initiate in Mayan shamanism, Tedlock zon basin to northern Mongolia in search of the rich historical record of women warriors and bunters, spiritual guides, and prophets from many cultures and times. Tedlock describes shamans as sharing the belief that all entities, animate and inanimate, are imbued with a holistic life force and claim an ability to harness ..extraordinary forces, entities or beinj!$ whose behavior in an alternative reality effects individuals and events in our ordinary world." Although healing is only one aspect of the shaman's work, it is the one most often challenged by Western sdencc. Tedlock says, however, ..1 have seen firsthand the effectiveness of shamanic healing. which relies on a deep knowledge of the operation of herbs and plants, and the power of the patim~s faith in the healer and the healing process.• She describes how healen ritual ly enact their local system of myth and symbo!J' to interpret the patim~s condition within that system, and how they employ hope. suggestion, apectation and rituals that dicit a powerful placebo effect.. "This effect, which has been called 'the doctor who resides within,' arises from a d.irect con· nection between positive emotions and the biochemistry of the body," Tedlock says. "and by re-establishing emotional and spiritual equilibrium, a shaman strengthens the self-healing abilities of a patient" Rl:search on the emotional effects of songs, chants, pray=. spells and music, says the author, indicates they can influence the way the imm~ system responds to illness. Probing the practices that distinguish female sh.amanism from the much-be..,·known male traditions, Tedlock reveals the key role of "body wisdom" and women's eroticism in shamanic trance and ecstasy. She aplora female fonns of "dream witnessing• and vision questing. and the usc of hallucinogenic plants and drugs. The book explains shamanic midwifery and the spiritual powm released in childbirth and female cycles, shamanic symbolism in weaving and other feminine arts, and "gender-shifting" and male-female partnership in shamanic practioe. Women shamans, she says, have often practiced in the fields of healing, binhing children, gathering and growing food, keeping communities in balance, presiding over ceremonies and rites of pas· sage, maintaining relations with the dead, teaching, ministering to those in need, communing with nature to learn her secrets, pre· serving the wisdom traditions, divining the future, and dancing with gods and goddesses.

Artificial intelligence; networking; visualization; data mining; data fusion; algorithm design , especially for parallel architectures; rapid prototyping and fabrication; informatics; and human/computer interactio ns were among the research topi~ menuoned by several of the ~ups.

Among the personnel resources mentioned were targeted faculty lines to fill specific needs and more highly skilled staff; for example, computational scientists to function as bridges between researchers and the latest comput · ing techoologies. The need to hire senior-level faculty with proven track records and name recognition was endorsed. Faculty hiring must be at the associate and fuJI-professor level, it was argued, because junior·level hires must concentrate on ten ure and other responsibilities during their early yea rs at thco university. ln cr~dSed support for doctoral :..tudcnt:> also was mentioned as cr itical, as was the idea of an aca · demic comp uting governance structure responsible excl usively for research support. ln addition to CCR, which supports computing infrastructure, ane:ntion was givt!n to the idea of developing a center for sUpport· ing intellectual infrastructure. Such a center was described as a computing-specialized "Starbucks" or a ..think tank" that could attract high-level visiting faculty in the area of computing and where spontaneous interaction between researchers would be facilitated. Support for grant writing, induding peer·group reviews and creation of .. fleets .. of grant writ· ers, such as those that exist at presttgious universi ties. were mentioned as necessary for obtammg l.1rge r gra nt s, while mcentlves for collabora tin g betwl"en acadl"mK unib also was described a:.. critical. ~rew ~ .............. . . -. . . . . . ._ ..... the~ UB faced of! apinst Nonhastom U.i-..nity, Boston Coft<&o, Danmouth and MIT on Saturday mornina; on the Owies: River in Bocton.

For more information see, http://dublincore.org/documents/dces/. Description An account of the resource The UB <em>Reporter</em> began publication on January 22, 1970, a time of tumult at the University. It succeeded the newsletter, <em>Colleague</em>, and to this day, serves as the official source for "in house," internal news. The first issue included an editorial, "Why The Reporter?" explaining the rationale for the newspaper: <br /><blockquote> <p>The feeling was that the University lacks a sense of community—that communication is too helter-skelter—that too many groups feel alienated, apart. Somehow, it was felt, if these groups—faculty, student and staff—could come together on the commons and share their concerns and ideas, their activities, their aspirations and whatever else they have to offer, community and communications would result…But it will not produce instant community. Each of us will have to work toward that goal.</p> </blockquote> <br />The Reporter ceased print production in May 2009 when it became an online only publication; in Spring 2016 it became a daily publication.  The Reporter was re-named UB Now in Spring 2016.

The other UB team members are Kelly McCorry, Mike Ide, Robert Bouza, Eric Peckham, Dan Bugbee and Steve Battaglia. UB also took the Gage Products Award for Best Fuel Economy; the Land and Sea Inc.

Pharmacy school ranks second in NIH fun'ding category The of """""- .........__ _ Sciences has advanced to second place in tfimS of individual grant fuqding awarded pet Ph.D. faculty member from the Nationallnsti"!tes of Health. · The American AS5ociation of CoUeges of Pharmacy (MCP) released the report showing UB has maved from fourth place in the category in 6!cal year 2002-03 to seco~d in 6!cal year 2003-04. The MCP, a national organiza~t represmts pharmaceutical education ancl educators, ranks NIH funding in several categories at the nation's 64 schools of pharm~cy with actiW research programs. • With NIH funding to facultt members totaling 54,043,474 in 2003-04, the a""'"ge award per UB faculty member was $258,544, according to the MCP repon. That's a 32.64 percent increise o= 2002-03, when the a""'"ge award pet faculty mernb(r in the UB pharmacy school was $194,916. The School of Pharmacy and Pbarmaoeutical Sciences has 13 full. time Ph.D. faculty members, or about half the number found in many U.S. schools of pharmacy. Wayne K. Anderson, professor and dean of the school, &aid he was especially pleased that only the University of California at San Fran· cisco ranked higher in the S"""'f category this year. "It's gratifying to move up in the ranlrings beca115e we are smaller than the other schbols in th~ S"""'f," Andenon said. "Our faculty works efficiently and e!fectivdy with the grants they receive and, as a result, we had a strong showing on the pet-faculty basis." The School of Pharmacy and Pharmaceutic:al Sciences is the second-oldest comp(>nent of the uni..,mty and the only pharmacy school in the SUNY system. The-school, which includes a Depart· ment of Pharmacy Practice and a Departmmt of Pharmaceutical Scimces, offers a number of professional, ~dergraduate and graduate programs dir<cted at several areas of~ pharmaceutic:al sciences. The school has worked to transform the role of pharmacy from a professional·practice orientation to one that includes major basic and clinical research activities.

"The Good Woinan of Setzuan" is one of the best-known worics of Bertolt Brecht, widely considered 10 be the rilost influential European playWright of the 20th centuPy. Written in 1939-40 and set in a remote Chinese pmvince, the play tells the story of Shen Te, a young prosntut< who is gi= the opportunity to pursue a new way oflife by three visiung d'cities. In order to succeed at living a IU. of goodness, she must create a male alter ego who am protecr her interests. Brecht gi= us a modem parable about the ru>run; of morality in a comp<'titiv<, capitalist world.

Coult<r and Rmo covered a diver<e array of subjects. indudin£ the war ·m Iraq, the ..state ~ public education, the PatriltACt. environmental issues; proposed SoCial Security reforms arid the state of U.S. intdli~nce-sathering. Coulter, known for her acerbic wit, issued many pointed statements, while Rmo seemed inu:nt on taking the high road, using polit<, restrained language and even giving her opponent a few verbal salutes. When aSked how the nation miSht bett<r unite, Coulter, who to disled off the program,$ miss this concern...

Turning to national security issues, Reno said the oountr)o must wor4_o ensure that U.S. troops are adequatdy funded and equi~ now that the decision has been made for them to be there. "No maner what we thought of the decision to go to war, it is imperative that Democrats and Republicans come together in one thoughtful effort to make sure that our troops have the support they need to do the job. that they have the armor they need and the other resources they need to protect themselves. (They must also have) the !1\lffibers and the human power that is important." Rmo voieed concerns over the abuse that took plaeed at Abu Ghraib prison.

Coult<r acknowledged Reno's point that there have been intclli· gence hilures, but attribpt<d the declineto "30yearsoftheDernoc· rats' rdentless attacks on the CIA." Democrats, she cont<nded, had filled the CIA with lawyers, to the point that a 2:1 ratio of lawyers to agents now prevails. "" for !he Abu Ghraib scandal, Coulter said "even the wone treat· ment of the prisoner> (in Inq) is bett<r than how the Clinton Administration tre'at<d SO Amencan citizens at Waco," referring to the 199a- tragedy in which 80 members of the Branch Davidian religious sect died in a fire foUowing a lengthy standoff with federal agents. "That was. the Clinton Administration's major military intervention; Coulter said. Turning to "the Patriot Act, Coulter noted that it had passed overwhelmingly in the Senate, with an equivaient margin in the House of Representatives. In any case, she said, "why is that only ' when it comes to the defense of America, when it comes to going after our foes. our enemies, do we · need total unanimity?" FoUowing the formal debate, ~no and Coult<r lidded about a dozen questions from the audience. Topics included the likeli hood of a female U.S. presi~ent, which Reno sees happening in her lifetime. Coulter did not disagree, but predicted the first female U.S. president will be a Republican: On . Roe v.

For more information see, http://dublincore.org/documents/dces/. Description An account of the resource The UB <em>Reporter</em> began publication on January 22, 1970, a time of tumult at the University. It succeeded the newsletter, <em>Colleague</em>, and to this day, serves as the official source for "in house," internal news. The first issue included an editorial, "Why The Reporter?" explaining the rationale for the newspaper: <br /><blockquote> <p>The feeling was that the University lacks a sense of community—that communication is too helter-skelter—that too many groups feel alienated, apart. Somehow, it was felt, if these groups—faculty, student and staff—could come together on the commons and share their concerns and ideas, their activities, their aspirations and whatever else they have to offer, community and communications would result…But it will not produce instant community. Each of us will have to work toward that goal.</p> </blockquote> <br />The Reporter ceased print production in May 2009 when it became an online only publication; in Spring 2016 it became a daily publication.  The Reporter was re-named UB Now in Spring 2016.

Description An account of the resource The UB <em>Reporter</em> began publication on January 22, 1970, a time of tumult at the University. It succeeded the newsletter, <em>Colleague</em>, and to this day, serves as the official source for "in house," internal news. The first issue included an editorial, "Why The Reporter?" explaining the rationale for the newspaper: <br /><blockquote> <p>The feeling was that the University lacks a sense of community—that communication is too helter-skelter—that too many groups feel alienated, apart. Somehow, it was felt, if these groups—faculty, student and staff—could come together on the commons and share their concerns and ideas, their activities, their aspirations and whatever else they have to offer, community and communications would result…But it will not produce instant community. Each of us will have to work toward that goal.</p> </blockquote> <br />The Reporter ceased print production in May 2009 when it became an online only publication; in Spring 2016 it became a daily publication.  The Reporter was re-named UB Now in Spring 2016.

UB neurosurgeons pioneer method lly LOIS aAIWI Contributing Editor URGEO/'IS at UB have carried out the first minimally jnvasive spinal surgery in the U.S. -using a new technique to stabilize the lumbar spine called axW lumbar interbody fusion, or AxiaUF "'. ·The proctdutt requires only a tiny incision in the back and can have patients up and walking withoui pain within hours of leaving the operating theater. · Two hours following surgery, the first U.S. patient to reaivc the . new back surgery said her back and leg pain was totally gone and she was "just a little sore." '"Lumbar spine surgery will never be the same,.. said a delighted L. Nelson Hopkins, professor and chair of the Department of Neurosurgery. upon hearing of S tht patient's good results. "This begins a total rcvoi'Lnion." The new technique could be ujtd for 90 perant of all fusion surgeries, Hopkins said. Flad Levy, associate professor of neurosurgery and radiology; performed the surgery on Jan. 28 in Millard Fillmore Hospital of Kaleida Health on a 31-year-old woman who had long-standing· hack -pain due to an earlier ~~ . La;./~ . . . ' A recent re-injury to her spine had left the patient with debilitating pain in her back and legs. requiring her to take a leave from her bank job and to use a cane hi walk. Levy said th e paliL"nt was .m ideal candidate for the technology's U.S. premiere because she had no arthritis or d~eneration of the vertebrae often seen in the mostly older persons who require back surgery. l'ypically, spinal-fusion surgery requires a 5-to-6-inch incision in the back, retraction of the back muscles and tissue in order to gain access to the su'Jery site, \"'Uterization of blood v~s and generalized trauma to the entire spinal region, said Levy. The patient usually spends several days in the hospital and sevetal months in recovery. Axial lumbar interbody fusion requires a 2-ccntimeter incision just toj>e left of the tailbone, he said. Instruments needed to per· form the proadure are threaded internally along the spine to the surgery site br following a guide wire. Miniaturized scrapers remo~ torn and d~ disk material and 1iny drills create the spaces to insen ~ that stabilizt the spine. l:or the right patients, the procedure could be done on an outpatient basis, Levy·said. The technique was developed five )'tao/ agp by ao inttrventional radiologist who founded a company called Axial Med. now Trans I Inc. The lim trials on cadavm; took plaa at UB's Toshiba Stroke Researeh Center in 2000. The first surgeries were performed in Bral\ii, where 35 patients have been operated on since the technique was intro· · duad there in 2003 . The &>ad and Drug Administiation (FDA) only recently approved the procedure for we in the U.S. " Dr. Hopkins has developed the premier model for minimally invasive surgery centers in the U.S .. so it's fitting that the first surgery took place in Buffalo." satd Rick Randall, president and CEO o fTrnnsl Inc. �BRIEFLY lsaiK Ehl'lkh is UB Distinguished Professor and chair of the Department of Eoonomics, Melvin H. Baker Professor of American Enterprise and research associate of the National Bureau of Economic Research.

Annual bendits were $270. At th<Se leV.is. th< program was accumulating swplw<s. Since th<n, thr.J>rogram has undergone a sm<S of amendments. The most important on<S are the apansion of the OASI program to include Disability Bendits (01) in 1956, allowance for <arly retirem<nts of worken since The <arly 19605, introduction of a 5<pat3t< tax to fund M<dicare in 1996 and auowance for cost of living adjustments (COlAs) in 1972, which became automatic after 1975. The program's financial viability was seriously shaken following the stagflation p<rlod of the 1970s. To solve the problem, taxes were increased and the nonnal retirement age was raised gradually from 65 to 67, beginning in 2000. As we now kno.w, that has not solv<d the problem. - cloel the ayatem _.now7 Social Security still operates as a PAYG, defined-benefits system. Since: benefits are d<fin<d by the political system, taxes n«d to be adjusted periodically to assure long-term solvency. The combined rate paid by workers and employees has r~sen over time from 2 percent to 12.4 p<rcent (not cou nting Medicare), al'Td maximum taxable earnings rose to $90,oo0 in 2005. The program has h«n ·successful in achieving its · basic missionimproving th< real incomes of the elderly. But especially since the 1972 reforms, this has caUS<d ~ major income transfer from the younger to the older generations. High price and wage inflation in the 1970s caused significant increases in adjust<d 'retirement benefits, while per-capita reaJ income was stagnant.

According tO the UB re:ioC31'chers.,, the Friction Pendulum beanng.s will allow the Hermes statue to withstand rhe maximum earthquake forces that can occu r in the region. w~u;h could register as much as a magrutude of eight on the Richter scale. .. Prt'~rvation is of paramount importance since the statue 'of Hermes of sites, including the International Airport Terminal in San protect .-..mst damage 'from major e.fi.hquakes. ..

By LOIS IIAIWI (,:ontributlng Edito< RRITABLE bowel synd rome affects between I 0to-20 percent of the population worldwide. II is the most common disease diagnosed by gastroenlerologists, but ther<' is no univenally acctpted medical treatment for the full nonge bf symptoms. Specialists in unting irritable . bowel syndrome (IBS) in the UB School of Medicine and Biomedical Sciences arc set to begin a ID-week clinicallrial of an innovative treatment program that c:mters on reducing symptoms by changing the way patients think about and .respond lo potential!BS episodes. The trial is funded by a Jwo-year, $300,000 grant from the National lnstitules of Health (NIH).· Only a small group of academic facilities specialize in IBS researchi UB is one of only a handful of institutions conduct iJtg behavioral-based trea tmenl program for I BS. Jeffrey M. Lackner, assistant professor of medicine, a specialist in IBS and lead researcher on the clinical trial, said the key malfunctions of this debilitating syn· . drome are d isordered bowel motility, enhanced sensitivity of n<rves in the gul and psydlooocia1 factors-the coffibination of which m~ the symptoms (diarrhea; constipation or both) particularly difficult to treat. "Of. psychological &ctoro, the beliefs, apectations and tboughls pati"J'Is hold about their symptoms appear to be particularly important in 'short-circuiting' the neural connections between the brain and gut," he said. Earlier m ultidisciplinary re· search by Lackner and colleagues at UB fou nd that illS palienls . showed different brain utivity than those who do nol experience JBS in areas that control pain and strong emotions. The researchers then were able to show that patienls who learned self-managemenl skills not only reduced significantly their IBS symptoms, but showed changes in brain activity that were more ' ' imilar to controls who did not experience I BS. .. In· short , th e treatment, called cognitive -behavioral thenpy, appears to work by teaching palienls to dampen activity of brain structura .invot..d in ·processing pain signals and emolions that can' aggravate symptoms," said Lackner. These clinic-based programs would be too expensive for the majority of IBS sulferus: the 12week program cosls around $1,200 to deliver. The upcoming clinical trial .will test whether patienls canprry oul much of the therapy at bl>me, where problems are mo"' likely to arue, and if the resulls will be as effective as clinicbased therapy. Seventy-five patien1s will be assigned randomly 10 one of two groups: a "low-contact" group inwlving four clinic visils over lhree months, or a "standard" group inmlving IG-12 W<eldy dinic visits. An additional group of patienls who are on a wailing list to begin cognitive-behaviorai therapy will serve as a control group. Patienls in the two study group will undergo . extensive medical and psychological evaluation at the beginning of the trial. All will 1carn the same management strategies, use the sam~\manual of 1 instructions and mainl2in lhe same personal diaries of· symptoms and their- thoughls and actions in responst to symptoms. Those in the klw-contact group will r=iYe 15-min>lle phone calls periodically to address any prob!ems. The wait-list group will ktq> a daily log of Gl symptoms. At the end of the trial, researChers will detemfine- the effect of the treatmmls on Gl symploms, distress and quality of lite, and assess cosls of both approaches. The rau!Js will be US<!d to design a larger siudy. The clinical trial will be conducted out of the Erie County Medical Center, a UB teaching hospital. Additional researchers on the study from UB are Susan Knsner, clinical assistant . professor of anesthesiology and medicine; Micha<l Sitrin,professor of meditine; and L<onard Katz, emeritus professor of medicine.

For more information see, http://dublincore.org/documents/dces/. Description An account of the resource The UB <em>Reporter</em> began publication on January 22, 1970, a time of tumult at the University. It succeeded the newsletter, <em>Colleague</em>, and to this day, serves as the official source for "in house," internal news. The first issue included an editorial, "Why The Reporter?" explaining the rationale for the newspaper: <br /><blockquote> <p>The feeling was that the University lacks a sense of community—that communication is too helter-skelter—that too many groups feel alienated, apart. Somehow, it was felt, if these groups—faculty, student and staff—could come together on the commons and share their concerns and ideas, their activities, their aspirations and whatever else they have to offer, community and communications would result…But it will not produce instant community. Each of us will have to work toward that goal.</p> </blockquote> <br />The Reporter ceased print production in May 2009 when it became an online only publication; in Spring 2016 it became a daily publication.  The Reporter was re-named UB Now in Spring 2016.

Simpson outlines support for tuition proposal President says King's plan helps students, parents deal with unpredictable hikes By MAllY COCHIIANE Contributing Editor RESIDENT John B. Simpson knows first hand how parents and students can su~r from . unpred ictable tuition hikes such as the one f.lceli by the SUNY sys· tem last year. "My daughter was an out-of· state student at the University of California in the late '80s and I had the unfortunate situation of her tuition essentially doubling_ in the four years that she was a· stu· dent. It was a nightma"' for me as a parent," Simpson told the Faculty Senate on Thesday. . That's why Simpson supports a plan proposed by SUNY Chancellor Robert L. King that wouJd set a four-year tuition rate for first· year undergraduate students at UB, and wo•ld adjust tQe rare for subsequent incoming classes according to the Higher Education Price Index, a national index of annu - P al education costs. ..

Th~ tuition plan also differenti· ates between the higher costs of educating students at doctoral· gr;~riting institutions such as UB, "because of our research mis· s·ion," and four-year colleges, Simpson said. The plan includes .. what amounts to a compact, a covenant, with the state by wh.ich-, the st:att agr~ t.o pay increases in · basic costs. particularly increases in the cost of energy and incrases in costs due to negotiated labor salary agreement!," he said. ..

"All of us . \ know ultimately that a univ'ttsity's the most important aspect of quality in its research, in its tdach- this proposal.

Description An account of the resource The UB <em>Reporter</em> began publication on January 22, 1970, a time of tumult at the University. It succeeded the newsletter, <em>Colleague</em>, and to this day, serves as the official source for "in house," internal news. The first issue included an editorial, "Why The Reporter?" explaining the rationale for the newspaper: <br /><blockquote> <p>The feeling was that the University lacks a sense of community—that communication is too helter-skelter—that too many groups feel alienated, apart. Somehow, it was felt, if these groups—faculty, student and staff—could come together on the commons and share their concerns and ideas, their activities, their aspirations and whatever else they have to offer, community and communications would result…But it will not produce instant community. Each of us will have to work toward that goal.</p> </blockquote> <br />The Reporter ceased print production in May 2009 when it became an online only publication; in Spring 2016 it became a daily publication.  The Reporter was re-named UB Now in Spring 2016.

One would . think that as more and more ple are interested in blogs that definition would become more stable, but the truth is thai the "bloggy" way of doing things is increasingiy leaking into other parts of the Web, making a definition difficult. ro a ~t Pew study, mort than a quarter of Americans who use the Internet say they read blogs. That number continues to grow quite rapidly. The number of people who write for blogs grows much more slowly. }usl like any kind of writing, it seems not to have a univer~ appeal.

' Are blogs becoming Important beause ofdecruHcl publk trust In wortd governments or trllllftlonll medii outlets, or do they complement them 7 There is some controversy over this. I suspect it is a little bit of both. The traditional news media have always been bener at reporting the facts than they are at making sense of them. Of coune, there are exceptions to )his, but generally the globalization of media has made that interprctativt "role even harder. I think blogs satisfy an important need for readen and exist in a symbiotic relationship • with existing news media. I also think that we will see some changes to how news is gathered and delivered ~of the inftuena of this nrw form of dis. 'd I c.ussmg 1 eas.

For more information see, http://dublincore.org/documents/dces/. Description An account of the resource The UB <em>Reporter</em> began publication on January 22, 1970, a time of tumult at the University. It succeeded the newsletter, <em>Colleague</em>, and to this day, serves as the official source for "in house," internal news. The first issue included an editorial, "Why The Reporter?" explaining the rationale for the newspaper: <br /><blockquote> <p>The feeling was that the University lacks a sense of community—that communication is too helter-skelter—that too many groups feel alienated, apart. Somehow, it was felt, if these groups—faculty, student and staff—could come together on the commons and share their concerns and ideas, their activities, their aspirations and whatever else they have to offer, community and communications would result…But it will not produce instant community. Each of us will have to work toward that goal.</p> </blockquote> <br />The Reporter ceased print production in May 2009 when it became an online only publication; in Spring 2016 it became a daily publication.  The Reporter was re-named UB Now in Spring 2016.

The new program will focus on the school's initiatives in entrepreneurship educarion, particularly on creating and maqaging new technology-based companies. The impetus for the program comes from a .!>urge of intcn"".!> t in entrepreneurial activity at UB and J number of recent succes.:ses in which the SOM has pla)'-d a maror role. Included am ong the ucc.: ess ful bui~ding blocks for this new pro· gram are the school's growing relationships with the UB Office o f Science, Technology Transfer and Econqmic Outreach (STOR) and Bufflirtk; budding outreaches to local, emerging high -tech companies; the addition of an Advisory Board of Senior Fellows in Entrepreneurship that features several prominent local entrepreneurs; an innovative Technology Entrepreneur Competition; and the creation of new courses in the a reas of entrepreneurship and bi o business. "O.·er the past sevcf.t.J years. wt; hJ\'C. had considerable success in helping to create new businesso and accelerate business growth for emerging cor:npanics," said John M. Thomas, SOM de.m ... The time has come for us to formalize oufcffons and take them to the !lCX\ level." John Hannon has been named director of the Technology I;:ntrepreneurship Program. An associate professor of entn!preneurship in the SOM, Hannon h.S more than 20 y<ars of industry, consulting and academic expcri- · ence. He joined the UB faculty in' 2000 to start an entrepreneurship curriculum and since has taught moll! than 300 MBA students the fmer points of entrepreneurship. He previously taught in the MBA program at Purdae University for seven rears and also has taught in China. Japan and Singapore. He received his MBA from UB and ni , doctornte in human ~uttt stuciics from Cornell Universiry. According to Hannon. several recent MBA graduates have started technology-based entrq>reneurial ventures and their sua:ess bas been another major sou..rce of momentum for the school. He estimates thai the number of new cnmpanies suned as a direct result of the SOM's recent entrepreneurship classes is ·approaching I 0.

CARES delivers·"more than a set of teetlf' ]oint dental-social work program breaks dawn barriers preventing dental care By NKOU SCHUMAN Rtpott~r Contributor T AKING its cue from a School of Social Work study on dental a£CCSS for seniors, the CARES program in th~ School of Dental Medicine partners with UB social workers to provide clients with "I,Jlore than just a "'t of teeth." The program attempts to break down the barrii!i'S preventing older adults and those fin;mcially limited from receiving dental care by addressing patients' mental, emotional, social and financial needs, as well as their dental problems. CARES, an aaonym for oounseling, advocaey, referral, eduea· tion and service, began in 2001 as a result of earlier research by Deborah Waldrop, assistant pro· fessor in the School of Social Work. ·Waldrop conducted a needs assess· ment of 928 School of Dental Medicine patients with a mean age of 57. The results showed that 42 percent of the patients lived below the pov~y l<'Vel, said Kim Zittel· Palamara, ·clinical assistant professo r in the dental school and .CARES project director. The assessment found that the primary concerns of the patients were health (32 percent), fin"'.'ces (25 pe=nt), medical bills ( 16 percent ) and family problems (14 percent). Researche1> then interviewed 157 respondents in more ·depth on these topics, revealing many of the barriers that prevent older adults from receiving dental care, said Zittei· Palamara, who codirects CARES with James~· clinical manager and task supervisor.

Description An account of the resource The UB <em>Reporter</em> began publication on January 22, 1970, a time of tumult at the University. It succeeded the newsletter, <em>Colleague</em>, and to this day, serves as the official source for "in house," internal news. The first issue included an editorial, "Why The Reporter?" explaining the rationale for the newspaper: <br /><blockquote> <p>The feeling was that the University lacks a sense of community—that communication is too helter-skelter—that too many groups feel alienated, apart. Somehow, it was felt, if these groups—faculty, student and staff—could come together on the commons and share their concerns and ideas, their activities, their aspirations and whatever else they have to offer, community and communications would result…But it will not produce instant community. Each of us will have to work toward that goal.</p> </blockquote> <br />The Reporter ceased print production in May 2009 when it became an online only publication; in Spring 2016 it became a daily publication.  The Reporter was re-named UB Now in Spring 2016.

Using molecular genotyping, investigators matched respira tory pathogens from the lungs of eight patients who developed hospital ~ acquired pneumonia with pathOgens collected from thdr dental plaque when they were admitted to the hospital. "This isthtfir>tstud):toestablish • H unequivocally a link between dental hygiene and respiratory infection; said Ali A.

Earlier research, including studies conducted at UB, showed that the same types of bacteria commonl)' found in dental plruJue often are present in those with-tbpiratory diseases. However, this investigation is the first to show that pathogens found in a patient's mouth at admission art genetically identical to pathogens found later in lung Ouid following a diagnosis of hospital-acquired pneumonia. The study population was ~m- posed of 49 mming hom< r<Sident5 who were: admitted to the intensiYe care unit of Erie Counry Medf'cal ' unttr and required a respirator. R<searchers omitted patient5 who had pn~onia when admitted or who developed pneumonia within 72 hours; had a low platelet count or blood-clotting disorders; had received an~biotic therapy or been hospitalized within tht past 60 days; needed immunosuppressive: drugs; or had no teeth or denturts. All ~tudy patients wert .assigned a dental-plaque score following an oral examination, and satnples of plaqye were collected to deter· mine the types of bacteria present. or the 49 patients, 28 had r<Spiratory pathogens in their dental plaque samples and 21 did not.

' By LOIS BAllER Contributing Ed•tor T HE North American • Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) and increased security concerns in the post-9/11 era have combined to produce an unanticipated health problem in communities situated ;1long U.S. borders: an increased risk of asthma. Results of a UB study of residents who live near the busy U.S.Canadian border crossing in Buffalo show that females, individuals between the age>--of 6 and 34 yea rs and persons of Latino descent are at increased risk of developing asthma or chroni~rcs ­ piratory illness. The study has implicatiOJU for all heavily trafficked border crossings and residential areas near majo\ truck traffic routes. Traffic-related pollution at border crossings is receiving more attention than in the past, said researcher Jamson LwebugaMukasa, because of an increase in diesel-burning commercial trafli due to NAFTA and"tightl.1ed post9/ 11 border inspections that n:sult in trucks waiting in long lines with their motors idling. .. Border communities worldwide suffer similar pollution problems; added Lwebuga-Muk¥a. director of the Center for Asthma and Environmental Exposure at UB and Kaleida Health, and lead author on the study. J -gh1Mays Finding connections to food 0 on the World Wide Web More th.,. 70 yeWJ ~. a tttn -agcr entered a small home in tlR mountai n village of a Mediterranean town and presented his bedridden-little brother with a pi!""' of the natural worltl-il bough from their baCkyard tree drooping with ripe pears. Today, that little brother is a grand&ther and cannot eat a par without remembering . that day: the kindness of his brother, the smell of the outdoors in the bough and his community's connection to the earth and the food that sustained them. At holiday times, we all have childhood memories 6lled with tradi tions and special foods. RWpes and traditions for Christmas, Hanpkkah, Kwanzaa and winter solstice ctlebrations art ubiquitous on the Web. The Waterboro (Me.) Public library, for example, has assembled. an extensiw array of Winter Holiday Re-sources (http://www.w•tuborollbrory.org/ chrbtm.htm). The FocidTimelin~ also will take yo" back to your culin4ry pa>t. (http://www.gtl.- / .._...1/ltld/ food.html). _.. But bow many of us ""' connected to "the earth and the source of our food" today? How many of us survive mostly on Processed. food or even know the difference between natural and processed fo&d? For a glimpSe into the nitty-gritty of food and food-processing, select the full-text frx' . science books in the Knovel E-Books database (http://ubllb.bUffolo.edu/ llbr..,tes/ e-resoun:es/knovel.html ). The numerous food-science books cover manufucturing and processing. food safety and quality, storage and preservation, nutrition and general references. In addition to "Baking Problems Solved" and the "Handbook of Herbs and Spices," sample titles include "Cereal Biotechnol(>gy,""Lawrie's Meat Science,""Novel Food "'ckaging Techniques," "Stability and Shelf-Life of Foods." "Foodbome Pathogens," "Food Chemical Safety" and many others. Many initiatives have 'sprouted ui"'fo counter the effects of overprocessing of food and the corporate control of our food syStem. A "slow food" movement began in Italy in 1986 and quickly has become international. It ..proinotes gastronomic cu1ture. develops taste education, conserves agricultural biodiversity and prot«ts tra ditional foods at risk of extinction" (http://Www.- -.com). The Slow Food organization's Ark of Taste project aims to "reGiscover, catalog. describe and publicize" forgotten flavo"' and foods at risk of disappearing as a result of .. industrial standafdization, hygiene laws, the regulations of large-.scale distribution and environmental) damage." The slow food movement boast5 local organizations aU over the world, including the U.S. (http://www.slowfood u ... org/ chonge/ lndu.html ) and Buffalo (http://www.slowfoodbuffalo.org/ ). They invite in terested persons to join a local group, tr.Jce their food sources, visit a local farmers' market, join a CSA {community supported agriculture) program, "'invite a friend over to share a m~al, visit a farm in the area, start a kitchen gard("n, learn their local food history or to plant seeds with a child. There are other locaJ effons to bring the food System closer 10 the people who rely upon it. The Massachusetts A"'enue Project, advised by Samina Raja of the VB Department of Urban and Regional Plan. ning, School of Archilecture and Planning, and Diane Picard, has produced a report , "Food for Growth: A Community Food System for Buffalo's WeSt Side" (http://www.nJUpstoteplonnlng.org/ Aw•nl04-fooc1Fot-Growth.pdf)~ lt oudines a plai{ for building a community food system to improve the quality and security of food af.ilable to the neighborh~ and, at the same time, positively contnbute to urban revitalization. The Community Food Security Coalitio n (http://www.foodsecurfty.org/ lnclex.html ) aims to ..develop self-reliance among ·au communities in obtaining their food and to create a system of growing, manufacturing, proc~ing, making available and selling food that is regionally based and grounded in the principles of justice, democracy. and sustainability." Participating in an organic CSA program, where during the growing season each member ~ives a share of fresh locally gnawn vegetables, is another way to support the local food production and distribution system, to support loci.J farms, to improve the nutritional value of the fpod you eat, to help protect the environment and to cuate new famil~ !raditions, Buffalo area CSAs include Buffalo Organics/Native Offerings (http://www.natfveoffertnga.com ) and Porter Farms (http://porterf•nn.org:IIOIIO/ Indu.cfml?eventAboutl"heCSA). The Porter Farms site also ~sts local stores that carr.y its vegetables. No maner what holiday traditions you cherish, food connects us all. Happy HolidaY.! - ...

For more information see, http://dublincore.org/documents/dces/. Description An account of the resource The UB <em>Reporter</em> began publication on January 22, 1970, a time of tumult at the University. It succeeded the newsletter, <em>Colleague</em>, and to this day, serves as the official source for "in house," internal news. The first issue included an editorial, "Why The Reporter?" explaining the rationale for the newspaper: <br /><blockquote> <p>The feeling was that the University lacks a sense of community—that communication is too helter-skelter—that too many groups feel alienated, apart. Somehow, it was felt, if these groups—faculty, student and staff—could come together on the commons and share their concerns and ideas, their activities, their aspirations and whatever else they have to offer, community and communications would result…But it will not produce instant community. Each of us will have to work toward that goal.</p> </blockquote> <br />The Reporter ceased print production in May 2009 when it became an online only publication; in Spring 2016 it became a daily publication.  The Reporter was re-named UB Now in Spring 2016.

For more information see, http://dublincore.org/documents/dces/. Description An account of the resource The UB <em>Reporter</em> began publication on January 22, 1970, a time of tumult at the University. It succeeded the newsletter, <em>Colleague</em>, and to this day, serves as the official source for "in house," internal news. The first issue included an editorial, "Why The Reporter?" explaining the rationale for the newspaper: <br /><blockquote> <p>The feeling was that the University lacks a sense of community—that communication is too helter-skelter—that too many groups feel alienated, apart. Somehow, it was felt, if these groups—faculty, student and staff—could come together on the commons and share their concerns and ideas, their activities, their aspirations and whatever else they have to offer, community and communications would result…But it will not produce instant community. Each of us will have to work toward that goal.</p> </blockquote> <br />The Reporter ceased print production in May 2009 when it became an online only publication; in Spring 2016 it became a daily publication.  The Reporter was re-named UB Now in Spring 2016.

He noted that the Amherstwaterfront controversy has overshadowed the fuct• that UB in the early 1960s had attempted to expand to the Grover Oeveland Golf Course across Bailey Avenue from the South Campus. UB alumni encouraged the university to purchase the I08-acre golf course. However, the dly of Buffalo, which at the time owned the land,' wanted twia what it was worth, Greiner said, pointing out that the universi· ty h~d wanted to build a teaching hospital on the site.

"We suffer from not having our owri hospital (like other medical schools)," he said, ad<Jing that had UB owned the golf course site, Roswell Park Cancer Institute might posstbly be located the:..., today. Using a power-point prestntation, Greiner traced lhe history of UB all the woy back to 1836, when he said some local ministers decided to build a urtiversity at a site bounded by Allen, CoUege and North streetS and Delaware Avenue. The Panic of. 1837 crushed this dream, however. In 1846, Millard Fillmore stepped forward and founded UB as a stock company chartered in 1847. A medical scllool was started at Washington and Seneca streets. The early philosophy of the urtiversity w;os to pay as it went along, relying on tuition and contributions, as well as volunteer faculty and borrowed space, he said.

The study, forthcoming in the Novemlx.r issue of the journal . Phannacothuapy, is the first to show that St. John's Wort may compromise the effectiveness of Gleevece (imatinib mesylatc, Novartis, Inc.), a blockbuster anti ~ . cancer drug that has revolution- ized the treatment of chronic leukemia, according tO Patrick F. Smith, assistant professor in ·the • School of Pharmacy and Pharmaceutical Sciences. The study is especially timely because recent surveys show that the use of alternative supplements such as St, John's Wort ·has incuased tremendously over the past decade, particularly among cancer patients, Smith said. Approximately' one-third to onehalf of 1).11 cancer patients use ' some type of alternative supplement, such as vitamins and herbal products, according to t~e study. "We found that St. John's Wort may significantly reduce the effect of Gleev~ by lowering blood levels to the point where patients \ may fail therapy if they take both together,• Smith said. "Patients may not view alternative products as 'medications.' and thus they frequently go unreported I to the patien~s physician or pharmacist," Smith said "For the most part, patients often tim~ don't necessarily need these herbal products, and don't know that there may he serious drug in~<ractions." Glee:vece, or imatinib mesylate, was the first drug to specifically target cancer cells without targeting nonnal cells, malting it relatively non-toxic, unlike traditional chemotherapy drugs. And i~s easier to tak.e: while chemotherapy is administered intravenously every f e w weeks for several · dosing cycles, G l!ev~ is taken in a daily, oral dose over the course of years. "Hence, it is the first drug that turns cancer into a chronic disease that is treated with a tablet, siniilar to high blood p~ure or dia betrs," Smith said. As a resuh, Gleevact' received an expedited approval in the United States for the treatmen t of chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) and rapidly has become a cornerstone of cancer treat ment, according to Smith. Talting St John's Wort, oommonly used for mood elevation in cancer patients, along with Gleevec" "will unneczssarily put patients at risk for failure and resistance_during ·treatment," Smith said That's because the St. John's Wort increases a patient's metabolism of the medication, resulting in the drug's being eliminated more quiddy than normal from the body. This lowm the blood levels, or redu<l!S the patien~s exposure to the medication, deaeasing its dfectMness. "Thus, the reduction in blood levels caused by St. John's Wort may cause Gleevece to he less effective, resulting in treatment failure. The other thing that can happen is thai, if blood levels are too low, the leukemia ccUs also can become resistant to Gleevece, ~ndering it completely ineffective, eve:h ifthe dose is increased," Smith explained. Similar results have been described in drug-in teraction studies of St. John's Wort with medications for AIDS, said Smith, wh~ added that he believes cancer patients should avoid herbal supplements in general during treatmenL "We need to do a bener job of educating both physicians, as well as the public, regarding the hazards of talting these herbal products, which are unregulated by the FDA," Smith said. "It is imperative U,.t patients know that herbals are not regulat-• ed and that they may he very dangerous when oombined with certain drugs. Patients should always check-with their physician or pharmacist before taking any he{bal or over-the-countef product. Their lives literally may depend on it." \ IIepa ......

A S3.56 million gran11o a group ofUB researcher. from~ National Hean, Lung and Blood lnstilute may provide some answers. In one of thelargesl studies ofiu kind, investigators in the Center for Research in Cardiovascular Medicine will use positron e:mis- sion topography (PET) to estlblish baseline heart function and related physiological measures in paticnlS whose physicians consider them at potential risk for sudden cardiac . death, based on existing criteria. They anticipate enrolling 360 patients and tracking their medical progress over the next five yeais. Sudden cardiac death, or SCD, resulu from a calaSUOphic disruption in hean rhytlim. Although patieniS who die as a result of SCD rommonly are described as having had a "massi"" hean anack," the event is better characterized as an "electrical acciden1," said John M . CanJy. professQr of medicine and Alben and Elizabetjt R<kate Clair in Cardi~ar Disease. Can,Y and James A. Fallavollit1, associale professor of medicine in the Division of Cardiology, are · coprincipal investigators on the study. "We currently haV< limi1ed abili IY 10 identify the majority of paticnu at risk of SCD beyond the \ traditional risk factors for coronary bean disease," said Canty. · w~ know from autopsy resullS that most people who suffer sudden cardiac death have advanced coronary I anery disea!ie, .but ""- 'wlto ..,rvM: by rapid cardiac resuscitltion frequently show no ovidencr of an acu~ heart anack or any sp;,p10ms of bean disease immedia1ely prior 10 the aborted cardiac amst." Study investigators hypothesize thai the presence of adaptations thai devdop in the hean in n:spense 10 repetitive episodes of inadequale blood Bow lead 10 electrical instabil· i!y of the heart and may ptedict SCD. These adaptltions, termed hibernating myocardium, occur commonly in one or more regions of the hean in many patieniS with depressed bean function, said Can!y. The gran! will be used to study this ==io in patienlS with depressed heart function consido'ed al high risk for SCD. The overall objective of the current study is to use PET images of blood flow, !issue viability and sympathetic nerve function, in conj~nction with evidence of depressed heart function, 10 bener p~ct which patienlS with heart dis'ease require an implantable defibrillator to prevent SCD. The researchers also will determine bow these "substrate .. parameters change after an impending cardiac arrest is prrvented by the ddibriUator's discharge. In a hibernating regioq of the heart, muscle cells don't receive enough blood d~e to long-slanding coronary-artery narrowing, but they adapl to this impairment by reducing their function and oxygen needs. This adaptive survival mechanism involves ccUular changes that allow hean cells 10 remain alive, or viable. A total blockage of blood flow would lead to death and scarring of the heart muscle, resulting in non-viable myocardium or a .. heart attack... · Hi!M:malilig~rdial aohs. with !heir depressed function,, appear IO be OUI of sync with adjacenl healthy myocardial uUs. Not only do they function differently, said Can!y, but they are somewhal larger than other cells and have a reduced supply of sympathetic nerves. nus change in nerve supply can disrupl the normal hean rhythm, making the bean more vulnerable to fibrilla tion. which can cause death with in minutes if the bean rhythm is not rcslored with a de6brilla10r. Can!y and coUeagues also are studying this problem in the labo· ra10ry, where they <r<ate hibernating myocardium in pigs. When an animal goes inlo fibrillation, which ordinarily would be fatal, an implant1ble ddibrillalor deliven a shock, saving the animal and providing ~ ~\jng model of SCD lo study. By monitoring what tran spired in the heart ceUs leading up to a potentially fatal vmtricular fibrillation and analyzing the pltysiologieal and' biochemical changes in the heah after a "rescued SCD syndrome... the researchers arc gaining valuable and pr<viously unknown information about hearts at risk of sudden death. "Once an aborted sudden death episode occurs in pigs with lubernating myocardium, we can study the heart to identify the ceUular and molecular changes thai may · contnbu1e to the developmenl of an arrhythmia," said 1!an1Y· "The clinical study we have· designed stems dir<ctly from the laboratory work that we have conduaed over several years and is an e:xceUent example of' translating basic science studies to advance the dinica.J care of patienlS with hean disease." PatieniS accepted into the clini- .\ eal•otudy will undergo a PET scan to deteaaine the presenao and amounl of hibernating myocardium, as welJ as altcTations in sympathetic nerve function to the heart. PanicipaniS will be followed up by phone at lhree-mqnth intervals 10 trade their medical condition.

For more information see, http://dublincore.org/documents/dces/. Description An account of the resource The UB <em>Reporter</em> began publication on January 22, 1970, a time of tumult at the University. It succeeded the newsletter, <em>Colleague</em>, and to this day, serves as the official source for "in house," internal news. The first issue included an editorial, "Why The Reporter?" explaining the rationale for the newspaper: <br /><blockquote> <p>The feeling was that the University lacks a sense of community—that communication is too helter-skelter—that too many groups feel alienated, apart. Somehow, it was felt, if these groups—faculty, student and staff—could come together on the commons and share their concerns and ideas, their activities, their aspirations and whatever else they have to offer, community and communications would result…But it will not produce instant community. Each of us will have to work toward that goal.</p> </blockquote> <br />The Reporter ceased print production in May 2009 when it became an online only publication; in Spring 2016 it became a daily publication.  The Reporter was re-named UB Now in Spring 2016.

The systems in place now can have a low error rate, but until we achieve a zero patent error rate dtere 's room for irnproYmlent." Drury expects RISST to be operatio na l next yea r and equip~ with the same security system~ used in airports. Testing with human subjects using the systems will help UB researchers determine factors that lead to .common airpon-sccu rity inspection errors related to false alarms and failure to detect threats. Their analysis will show whether those errors typically arise from poor searching or from poor decision making, among other factors. The results will be used by TSA to identify and respond to potentia] bmtkdowns in transpo rtation security systems, Drur)r sayS. ..

To do that, Barnett suggests that Americans: ...

Description An account of the resource The UB <em>Reporter</em> began publication on January 22, 1970, a time of tumult at the University. It succeeded the newsletter, <em>Colleague</em>, and to this day, serves as the official source for "in house," internal news. The first issue included an editorial, "Why The Reporter?" explaining the rationale for the newspaper: <br /><blockquote> <p>The feeling was that the University lacks a sense of community—that communication is too helter-skelter—that too many groups feel alienated, apart. Somehow, it was felt, if these groups—faculty, student and staff—could come together on the commons and share their concerns and ideas, their activities, their aspirations and whatever else they have to offer, community and communications would result…But it will not produce instant community. Each of us will have to work toward that goal.</p> </blockquote> <br />The Reporter ceased print production in May 2009 when it became an online only publication; in Spring 2016 it became a daily publication.  The Reporter was re-named UB Now in Spring 2016.

Alsop is one of a group of British architects who studied in the Pop Art era and were encouraged to look beyond existing buildings for inspiration.

Description An account of the resource The UB <em>Reporter</em> began publication on January 22, 1970, a time of tumult at the University. It succeeded the newsletter, <em>Colleague</em>, and to this day, serves as the official source for "in house," internal news. The first issue included an editorial, "Why The Reporter?" explaining the rationale for the newspaper: <br /><blockquote> <p>The feeling was that the University lacks a sense of community—that communication is too helter-skelter—that too many groups feel alienated, apart. Somehow, it was felt, if these groups—faculty, student and staff—could come together on the commons and share their concerns and ideas, their activities, their aspirations and whatever else they have to offer, community and communications would result…But it will not produce instant community. Each of us will have to work toward that goal.</p> </blockquote> <br />The Reporter ceased print production in May 2009 when it became an online only publication; in Spring 2016 it became a daily publication.  The Reporter was re-named UB Now in Spring 2016.

Powered by Mathworks and UB software, this testing combines shake-table testing of portions of a structure with real-time computer simulations of, the remainder of the structure. It will provid~ researchers with a more cOmplete piCture of how powerful earthquakes affect very large structures, including bridges and buildings, without having to t~ an entire structure. "In the 1970s, then-US President Robert Ketter and GeoJge Lee, then dean of th~ School of Engineering anc,l Apptied Sciences, had a vision to estlblish UB as the preaninent earthquake-engineering leader in the world," Karwan noted. "In ·1983, UB opened a world-class seismology laboratory and by 1986 landed the National Center for Earthquake Engineering Research from NSF, putting UB on the global map." "After more then two decades of award -winning scholarship, apptied · research, and countless trained engineers." he added, "the impact on society has b«n remarkable. "With the opening of 1he new NEES facility, we again are world lead~s in the infrastructure required to continue our training and research and development activities at the highest level." According to Andrei Reinhom and Michel Bruneau, principal in-rigators for the NEES facility, it also is equipped with a significantly c:xpanded strong floor and 3-story reaction wall; high-apacity dynamic and static actuators that can apply forces of up to 1,800 tons. and a large-scale geotechnical I~ box for simulating soil-structure interactions during earthquakes. "The new facility enhances the capabilities of US's 20-year-old SEESL laboratory, which provided, -and will continue to provide, world leadership in advanced protection of bridges, buildings and their con· tents against severe hazards such as earthquakes, windstorms and man-made disasters," said Reinhom, Clifford C.

For more information see, http://dublincore.org/documents/dces/. Description An account of the resource The UB <em>Reporter</em> began publication on January 22, 1970, a time of tumult at the University. It succeeded the newsletter, <em>Colleague</em>, and to this day, serves as the official source for "in house," internal news. The first issue included an editorial, "Why The Reporter?" explaining the rationale for the newspaper: <br /><blockquote> <p>The feeling was that the University lacks a sense of community—that communication is too helter-skelter—that too many groups feel alienated, apart. Somehow, it was felt, if these groups—faculty, student and staff—could come together on the commons and share their concerns and ideas, their activities, their aspirations and whatever else they have to offer, community and communications would result…But it will not produce instant community. Each of us will have to work toward that goal.</p> </blockquote> <br />The Reporter ceased print production in May 2009 when it became an online only publication; in Spring 2016 it became a daily publication.  The Reporter was re-named UB Now in Spring 2016.

For more information see, http://dublincore.org/documents/dces/. Description An account of the resource The UB <em>Reporter</em> began publication on January 22, 1970, a time of tumult at the University. It succeeded the newsletter, <em>Colleague</em>, and to this day, serves as the official source for "in house," internal news. The first issue included an editorial, "Why The Reporter?" explaining the rationale for the newspaper: <br /><blockquote> <p>The feeling was that the University lacks a sense of community—that communication is too helter-skelter—that too many groups feel alienated, apart. Somehow, it was felt, if these groups—faculty, student and staff—could come together on the commons and share their concerns and ideas, their activities, their aspirations and whatever else they have to offer, community and communications would result…But it will not produce instant community. Each of us will have to work toward that goal.</p> </blockquote> <br />The Reporter ceased print production in May 2009 when it became an online only publication; in Spring 2016 it became a daily publication.  The Reporter was re-named UB Now in Spring 2016.

Unger CMnineVIcs.J Ann Whitcher study by researchers at UB and Old Dominion Universit)' has found that being raised by a father who abuses drugs is even more harmful to the mental health of school-aged children than being raised b)' a father who is an aJcoholic. The study, one of the few to focus on ch'lldren living with drugaddicted fathers, found that such childnm exhibit significantly high· er levels of worrying. anxiety. depression, bchaviora1 acting out and other antisocial behaviors than do 'children in families with alcoholic. fathers or families in which neither pmnt abused drugs. .. Many studies have assumed that children of alcoholics and children of drug abusers were very similar." said William Fals-Stewan, lead . investigator and a senior research scientist at UB's Research Institute on Addictions (RIA) . "Our findings, however; indicate that fathers who are drug abusers expost their children to more con· fiict, poorer parenting and greater physical violence between the parents than do alcoholic fathers. Drug addicted fathers also tend to watch over their children Jess well than alcoholic fathers. ..As a resuh," he says, ..children bei ng raised by dru g-ab using fathers have more emotional and behavioral problems than children whose fathers are alcoholic." A Previous research, for instance, has found that witnessing violencc at home undermines :.1 child's sense or personal security. This studr found that children of·~ug-abus· ing fathers were more likely to witness violence in their homes than arc children of alcoholic f.tthers. Drug-addicted fathers in the stud)• also exhibited more dysfu nctional disciplinary practices with their children. In particular, they tended to overreact to a child 's mis· behavior. This, says Fals-Stewan, appears partially responsible for the higher levels of anxiety, fearful. ness, helplessness and, ultimately, depression found in their children. The study was fuRded in part by grants from the NationaJ institute on Drug Abuse, the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism, and the Alpha Foundation. It was published in the June issue of journal of Family Psychology. Frank D. Fincham, SUNY Distinguished Professor in th e Department of Psychology and co:principal inv~tigator on the study, says: •An extensive body of psychological re«arch has examined the children of alcoholics, but until now, very little has been known about children of drugabusing. parents. ..

The Fringe, on the other hand, will run Aug. 8-30 and will present a staggering 1,695 performances of nearly 200 theater, children's theater and opera events in smaller venues in Edinburgh. In addition, the ciry's "Royal Mile" will berome a massive st=t stage hosting every type of Fringe perform<r, from musicians, street artists, fire eaters and tightrope walkrrs, to "Auld Reekie" and his ttrrifying tour of the dry's ancient haunted underground. The plays to be seen here may be new or familiar, but comedies traditionally make up a very large part of the menu, and this year there will be 98 of them. Among them will be "Playing it Cool" at Edinburgh's Gattway Theatre, under the direction of Joyce Stilson, a UB Theatre and Dance alumna now affiliated with the ciry's Alleyway Theall<. It will .star Melinda Wright and Stephen Stocking, undergr.tduate students in the UB Department of Theatre and Dance. The comedy/drama is set in Buffalo and addresses the issue of emotional honesty through the plight of a young man who falls in love with his best friend-4 girl who has no idea how he feels. A workshop production of the play previously was presented at Edinburgh's Queen MazEaret University College, where Brody is pursuing a joint Master of Arts and Master of Fine Arts degree in dramatic writing. Brody graduated with honors from UB in 2003 with a bachelor's degree in media stUdy (video production). She also studied playwriting under Anna Kay Frana, adjunct irtstructor and associate professor emeritus in the Department of Theatre and Dana While attending UB, she edited the Arts & Entertainment section ofTht Sptannn and wrOte theater revitws for the paper's Prodigal Sun suppl<ment and promoted Tht Sptannn's """"'!!' of theater peri>rmances on campus and of£ Brody pre-viously had two short films and a radio play produced, and revitws Scottish theatre for the online British Theatre Guide.

July 1l214/Vi.l k ShoWing promise as drug Scientists studying mirror image of tarantula venom peptide lly LOIS 11A1W1 Contributing Editor tarantUla vmom peptide, GsMTx4, known to affect many organs. can be manipulated to withstand desLruction in the stomach, malting it a promising candidate for drugs that could treat cardiac arrhythmias, muscular dystrophy and many other conditions, UB biop!>ysicists have shown. Moreover, the peptide, which is amphiphilic-meaning fat-soluble on one side and water-solubleon the other, much lilo: a dcteqj.nt~ mechanically "'"'itive ion channels in membranes in a manner totally different than the standard "lockand-key" binding mechanism. Results of the rcscarc:h appear in the July 8 issue of the journal Nah1rt. The peptide is the only agent known to specifically block stretch-sensitive channels. Unlike other membrane channels that ~ sensitive to electrical potential or the binding of hormones and neurotransmitters, stretch-se:nsi~ channels are activated by chai\ges in membrane tension. "Stretch-sensitive chaonels can play a key role in many nonnal tissue functions," said Tom Suchyna, research"associate in the Center for Single Molecule Biophysics and first ·author on the paper. "These channels are involved in holloworgan filling such as the bladder, in heart and ci rculatory-system responses to changes in blood pressure, proprioception-knowing where your funbs and head are in space and time-and OUid balance. "They also are involved in abnormal tissue functions, such as cardiac arrhythmias, congestiw: heart fail. ure, elevated calcium levels in mus- A cular dystrophy and angiogenesissupported tumor growth." · Earlier research by the UB group had shown that the novel peptide inhibits stretch-sensitive channels, but the rtsearchers did n't know how. To gain more information on the peptide's possible receptor, Philip Gottlieb, a co.investigator from the Department of Physiology anjl Biophysics and the Center for Single Molecule Biophysics, created a mirror image of the molecuJe, referred to as "right-handed." to obscrw: the pq1tide-me:mbrane interaction. Since almost all proteins in nature are "left-handed," righthanded proteins won't fit into a lefthanded receptOr, ew:n if they have the same amino acid "l(s like putting your right foot into your left shoe," said Suchyna. ln this case. however, they fo und that both proteins inhibited stretch-sensitive channels. "If the right-handed GsMTx4 works as well as the left-handed, it must be interacting _with the stretch-activated channel by changing the tension that the channel senses in the membrane, rather than locking onto the channd,"' he said. "This leads us to believe that there is something uniq ue about the 1 membrane that su rrounds stretch-sensitive channels, and that this special membrane environment attracts GsMTx4. That would explain why this peptide blocks ~nly this type of channel." In addition to providing valuable infonnation on how the peptide works, the finding that both versions blocked the channels makes the peptide an attractive drug candidate. "This was an awe- · some tool to find," said Fred Sachs, professor of biophysics in the Center for Single ·Molecule Biophysics and senior author on the study. "Peptides usually don't make good drug candidates. They can't be gMn by mouth because the stomach enzymes digest them, and they can cause an immune response. But bCcause this peptide works in its right-handed form, and the nonnal left-handed digestiw: enzymes and left-handed annbodies don't recognize it, oral administration is a definite possibility. It may be more than a lead compound for drug dcw:lopment. It may work just as it is. "If this prognosis proves correct," said Sachs, •the peptide could be effec- an sequena. ri llat ion , incontinenct, musc u lar dystrophy, "high blood pressure and other conditions goverqed by stresssensitive channels... Suchyna "said the next steps will be to investigate the environment surrounding the channels, to study the role of stretch-activated channels in cardiac arrhythmias and to mutate the peptide to make it specific for different tissues. Studies· of these peptides on a model ion chaonel called gramicidin, <t<:Onstituted in artificial lipid membranes, were carried out by Sonya E. Tape. a graduate student, and OlafS. Anderson, both from the Weill Medical College of Cornell University, and Roger E. Koeppe n, from the University of Arkansas.

Well-known for his two highly successful television series, "The Bob Newhan Show" and "Newhart," Newhart continues to tour the country with-his stand up comedy routines, offering impressions and observational humor, and engaging audiences in participation. He jokes about himself-as a baseball fan, as a Catholic and about his early job as an accountant. ln his most famous routine, ht talks to himself on the telephone, engaging in half of a conversation while audience members supply the p~nchlines in thcir minds. Newhart's comedy stems from humorous observations of everyday life, without resortfng fo profanity or cynicism. "Today's comedy has a tendency to be edgy and cynical, but what I've been doing is non-cynical. It's more the abiliiy to laugh at ourselv<s," he says. His routines can be enjoyed by young and old alike, always featuring new material in addition to classics like .. The Driving Instructor,• ..Sir Walter RaJeigh" and .. The Submarine Commander." He cOnsistently performs to se:U-out crowds and rave rev,iews across the country. "The Button-Down Mind of Bob Newhart" was the first comedy album to go to No. I on the charts. His subsequent seven album also were extremely successful, multi-platinum recordings. He has been award«! three Grammys, a Golden Globe Award, an Emmy and a George Foster Peabody Award. Newhart has been inducted into the Tel<'mion Academy Hall of Fame and has a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. His most recent film roles include "Elf" with Will Ferrell, "Legally Blonde 11" with Reese Witherspoon and "In & Out" with ~ Kline.

Description An account of the resource The UB <em>Reporter</em> began publication on January 22, 1970, a time of tumult at the University. It succeeded the newsletter, <em>Colleague</em>, and to this day, serves as the official source for "in house," internal news. The first issue included an editorial, "Why The Reporter?" explaining the rationale for the newspaper: <br /><blockquote> <p>The feeling was that the University lacks a sense of community—that communication is too helter-skelter—that too many groups feel alienated, apart. Somehow, it was felt, if these groups—faculty, student and staff—could come together on the commons and share their concerns and ideas, their activities, their aspirations and whatever else they have to offer, community and communications would result…But it will not produce instant community. Each of us will have to work toward that goal.</p> </blockquote> <br />The Reporter ceased print production in May 2009 when it became an online only publication; in Spring 2016 it became a daily publication.  The Reporter was re-named UB Now in Spring 2016.

I _.,.~ Buddhls~•l . N the early 1990s, Rebecca Redwood French spent several yeors living in India and Tibet, learning firsthand from Tibetans the intricacies of a legal system · that was, prior to China's invasion, based primarily on Buddhist principles. A higbly respected and worldrenown expert 6n Tibetan law aod professor in the UB Law School, French has worked in the field for more than 20 years, speaks Tibetan and is a practicing Buddhist. While she shies away from talking about the Dalai Lama, much of the nearly four years she lived in Asia was spent at his compou nd in Dharmsala, India, st udying with a former Tibetan magistrate and guru, and interviewing Tibetan refugees. At one time a successful litigator, French now works primarily in the small field of legal anthropology, which, in part, examines the p~by which people regulate themselvd,.senle disputes, achieve resolution and avoid conflict within their communities, she says. .. 1 practiced law for about six years and then started thinking about the ethical implications of law, and the more I thought about it, the more I couldn't get away from it I made the decision to S,o back into academics and, of -course, everyone thought I was crazy from an economic point of view," says French. "' Her goal now is to help build an academic foundation for the study of Buddhist law and how it can inform the legal traditions of the West and the rest of the world in the move toward globalitation. The Baldy Center for Law and Social Policy in the law School recently hosted, with French and several others at the helm, a conference titled " Locating Buddhist Law in Society." The conference consisted of a major brainstorming session on ways to begin a more formalized study of Buddhist law within the academy. The event brought together scholars in Buddhist and Asian studies, anthropology, history, sociology, religion, and · law. No one presented papers and everything was fair game for discus- ing about a rich and complex legal heritage. Tibetan · law-shaped and informed by a major world religioo-ctill penneates Tibetan society, ..... in exile. "The person I trained with for nearly four yeors was a high-1M! ofli.cial and complmly d<YOted to the Dalai Lama for his entire life. He had this real vision that Tibetan law and ideas about Buddhist law in general needed to get out to the West, and I was a I sion, says French, adding that chaos was kept at bay by the distilling of hundreds of ideas into a fairly organized framework for future discussion. A doctnnentary about the co nference is being edited and a Web site devoted to the work generated at the confer· ence is planned, as is develop-ment of bibliographies to post online, for sta rters. French views herself partly as a facili tator in helping fulfill the vision of ~an she studied with in Dharm~ in spreading wesl· ward a fundamental understand- conduit," says Fr:ench. As sbe points out, the United own laws and States• Constitution also were framed almost entirely in a religious context. although their secularization is nearly complete. In much of her work, she draws informative contrastS and paral· leis between both legal systems. "The Tibetan •legal system is very different because it takes each criminal case as unique and doesn't make rules as a result 9f a case, so it has no connection to finality or closure-it's not goal-oriented That's not to say tba:e aren't problems with that. but the aim ii ...... olution in people's minda. If the miruls of those inw>Md in a dispute are not harmonious at the end of the proceso. wharthey'll tell you is that the anger will ipill aves somewhere else in society and cause further harm," sbe says. Legal anthropology fills a bole that French believes aists in the study and practice of law. _ "The real pmblem is that you need people thinking about society in a larger sense, in a total way, · and that is what's missing. Legal anthropology does that-it looks at how we are dressing and the way we talk to each other. It asks questions about sanctions, the lack of communal values and the kinds of dispute_ practices thai exist in a society. "It can focus on everything from how legal decisions are made in a commodities inarket to how prostitUtion is sanctioned in .soci· ety," sbe notes. "Legal anthropologists are invariably asking questions that are, to a large: extent, antagonistic to the iegal profession. They're not asking. ' how can you be a lawyes more effectively,' which has more to do with economic gain," she says. 1 Because of the reputation of the Dalai Lama and ideas centered ori compassion, thoughtfulness, ethics and right -living as themes floodiog the popular press, Freqch bc:lieves that the formal study of Buddhist law is essential and for academe, only a matter of time. "If there's anything that Iraq and Mghanistan have taught us it is that we really need to think about the relationship between religion and law. We just have to figure out how to tap that relationship and give it a strong aca demic visibility and foundatiOn." UB to host a festival of fantastical fluting Pantasmagoria conference is one of the few of its kind devoted to the flute By SUE WUETCHU Rqxxtft' Editor LUTE performers and educators from around the world will be in residence at UB July 8-17 for "Pantasmagoria," a series of master classes, interactive workshops and concerts aimed at exploring the changing world of contemporary classical flute playing. The conference is being organized by Cheryl Gobbetti Hoffman, adj unct assistant professor in the Department of Music in . the College of Arts and Sciences. The purpose of the conference is to "engage, educate. exci te," says Hoffman, who points out that the event takes its name from "a compilation moniker-th e sum of ' Pan/ the bodacious halfman/half-goat mythological crca~ ture and flutist.. .and ' phantasmagoria.' a changing scene comprised of mult-iple elements." The conference, she says, "seeks to enhance the tradition passed along to the world's next genera- F tion of eager ft~tists." Designed for students and young professional flutists, the sessions will focus on standard flute repertory, highlighting wor\<s of the French school and the Baroque and Contemporary periods. Oasscs will address such topics as standard and extendedplaying techniques, improvisation for the classiCally trained mwician and memorization skills. The faculty will include severnl world-renowned flutists who will present pu~lic ·solo concerts, as well as conduct master classes and interactive workshops highlight ing flute performance practices and compositio ns from the earliest of traditions to the cuttingedge repertoire of today. 1n addition to Hoffman. a former member of the Buffalo Philharmonic OrcheStra and founder of Plosion, UB"s flut e ensemble, faculty members include Peter Lloyd, a former principal fluti t for the London Symphony Orchestra who now is · professor of llute performance at \ the Royal Northern College 'of formance), as weU as continuing Music at Manchester; Wissam students CbungLin Lee · and Boustany, a soloist, chamber Sabatino Scirri, and new student musician and faculty member at Jonathan Rogers.

The latte.r is a pioneering biography of one of the most important, ~elebrat ed, influential-and neglected-women in the field of classical studies in the 19th and early 20th centuries. Cambridge University, she was among the first women in England to ~ve · a university education, and went on to become a professional archaeologist and a pioneering historian of Roman art. She also served as assistant director of the British School I'll Rome, where she cut a glittering figure. A great 19th-century beauty, Strong modeled for the Pre· Raphaelites and was an actiw: pra· ence .on the European cultunl sane. She enjoyed dose friend. ships with some of the most important writers, "artists and intd· Iectuah of her day, among them Edward Burne-Jones, Edmund Goose, Gertrude Bell, Frederick Leighton, Lady Ottoline Morrell and pioneering Greek classical archaeologist Jane Harrison. Dyson notes that liberal MP and notorious anti-suffragist Herbert Asquith called Strong the most "disJ¥!f!Uished woman scholar" in the world, and Prime Minister Gladstone called her his "first and only love." Her publications include - the book "Roman Sculpture From Augustus to Constantine," journal articles and a translation of archae· ologist Carl Scbuchhard(s discussion of"'Schliemann's Excavations" at Troy, My<:enae, Tuyns and other sites. She was one of the first women to become a FdJow of the Society of Antiquaries, was a Commander the Order of the British Empire (CBJ;) and received the gold medal of the City of Rome.

He then relates survey-settlement evidence to larger questions of landscape use and transformation during the anci<nt Roman era. 1be book focuses on areas that served as the sites for innovative research on provincial Roman life Italy, North Africa, Spain and France. Dyson discusses what happened in rural areas in the period of transition between the erid of antiquity and the emergmce of. medieyal society. He shows that the period of transition was much longer than previously thought, and cites tremendous variation, not only between one port of the Empire and another, but between micro-reg{ons within a single provincr. - · The c.eec.

UB epidemiologists have found a strong association between weight gain and risk of postmenopausal breast cancer for women who put on the most pounds between their first preg- · nancy and menopause, compared to those who gained the least." Women who gained in the neighborhood of 60 pounds during the period from first pregnan- I \ cy to menopause were twice as likely to develop breast cancer compared with those whose gain wu about 20 pounds.

Description An account of the resource The UB <em>Reporter</em> began publication on January 22, 1970, a time of tumult at the University. It succeeded the newsletter, <em>Colleague</em>, and to this day, serves as the official source for "in house," internal news. The first issue included an editorial, "Why The Reporter?" explaining the rationale for the newspaper: <br /><blockquote> <p>The feeling was that the University lacks a sense of community—that communication is too helter-skelter—that too many groups feel alienated, apart. Somehow, it was felt, if these groups—faculty, student and staff—could come together on the commons and share their concerns and ideas, their activities, their aspirations and whatever else they have to offer, community and communications would result…But it will not produce instant community. Each of us will have to work toward that goal.</p> </blockquote> <br />The Reporter ceased print production in May 2009 when it became an online only publication; in Spring 2016 it became a daily publication.  The Reporter was re-named UB Now in Spring 2016.

The oontinuing fascination with Joyce and, in particular with "Ulysses." is due. says Slote, to a number of factors, including thelilct modem experience; Slote says. Th~ notebooks in the UB oollection ~that Joyce oollected rderences from """'fwhere, from death notices to weather reports to bits of geology, music,scicnoe, foreign literature, mythology. He jotted them down, crossed them out as he used them and reproduced them in a cacophonous catalogue of life as lived, illustrated with 'mba~ maps. subliminal suggestions, memories, bits of song cydts and articulated sensualities of """Y kind. "The tat is as rich and complex as life itself. It is fuU of color, music and great wiL It is really a very, very funny book and a poignant book," Slote says. "Joyce used language so astutely and many kinds of geographic and historical games, complex cross references reflected back and forth across different chapters and a wonderful narrative that echoes the voice of whateVer it is that he is describing. This complexity." crossreferencing and endless hidden intrigue may account for why so many readers never fed as if they haveftnished'Uiysses' and why it is considered by so many, many readers as one of the most significant books of the past I 00 years."

First: always refer to the " Israel-Palestine" cooOict, never to the . broader enmity to Israel. nor to repated Arab wars to annihilate Israel Second, give to Israel's and ber supporters' actions always the most sinUter possible interpretation, while never, never, offering critical scrutiny to the acts of her enemies. Third, find (as he sees it) flaws in certain books sympathetic to Israel, th<;fei>Y to generally condemo Israel historiography as fraudulenL All this is a lead-up to 1 more important scheme. Finlo!lstein knows full well the force that the Holocaust exerts in motivating Zionism, the Jewish movement for coUective self-defense. His response: smear Israel by tyirfg Zionism to Nazism. Disparage important Jewish authors about the Holocaust, Slkh as Elie Wiesel From tendentious investigations of Jewish institutions, claim evidence of misbehavior by some individuals, from which to conclude that these instirutions are exploiting the Holocaust to make money (Jews' primary motive, as we all know) or to serve Israel. Then comes Finkelstein's crowning tactic: tar Jewish civic leaders with Nazism. He. claims (without evidence) that they suppressed publicatidns about the Holocaust in the post-war ~riod to avoid embarrassing America for its close links to West Gvmany, where one-time Nazi h~ld important posts. He then a.s.sc.rts that the thousands of books that have sine< appeared about the Holocaust were put out because., after Israel 's victory in the 1967 war, Zionists needed new reasons to defend lsrad's right to t'Xist. ( Th«~ are many reasons for delayed literary reflection on trauma. My own mother co uld not bring herself to speak to me about her experience in Auschwitz until the late 1970s.) He does not explain who could suddenly instrUct writers to write so many books. Perhaps it was the Elders of Zion. Why go to such lengths to slander a people's need to come to terms with a catastrophe? It has to do with his self-description as a "leftist." You might think it consistent with the traditions of progressive thought that people who have suffc;red the deepest oppression, who have survived the machinery of extermination, should no longer depend on nation-states that had perpetrated or tolerated their liquidation, but should rather exercise self-determination apd collective self-def~. This is a right that a sincerely progressive thinker would grant to all peoples. (It is what some Israeli leaders have sought to grant to Palestinians, only to be repaid with terror war and Jihadist aggression meant ona again to exterminate the Jews.) It would follow from progressive thought that, in the wake of the Russian pc)groms and the Holocaust, Jews had a right and duty for collective self-defense. Horror of horrors! That would mean that Zionism is • j ust and h umane cause! or course to a hater of Israel, which is what F~n is, this con. clusion is abominable. If a principle that a progressive person would apply to all peoples is uniquely prohibited 10 one people. that is bigotry. To Finkelstein, this bigotry applies uniquely to one people. It deserves a unique name: anti-Semitism. Finkelstein's anti-Zionism is anti-Semitism. His builds a case for it through slander. An example of how Finktlstein does it appears in an Qnline interview on a Web site called "'Counte.rpunch.• ln it, Finke.lstein gives his take on the recent immigration to lsrael of Russians, some of whom have turned out to be non -Jews. He writes that "the reason why is becauSe the Israeli establishment likes the blue-eyed, blonde-haired Aryan types as a racial group." Of course, this is a fabrication meant to make Jewish leaders seem like Nazis. When I confronted him with this after his speech, his only. evidence was that some works of pro-Israeli literature had blonde and blue-eyed protagonists. He went on to give as an example a character in Leon Uris's •Exodus..• The character's name, Finktlstein explained,;_, "Ari," '\'hich he said-publicly to 100 or So avid Hstencr5-is "'a diminutive of 'Aryan.' .. Stupid as that statement is ("'Ari .. is shon for the ancient Hebrew name: · "Arieh"), it reveals his slanderous scheme. If these brief aamp1es are representative, Finkelstein is a huckster. And , oh yes, he is an anti-Semite. It's too bad that UB professors, including sOmeone called a '"d istinguished professor: would see fit to invite this man, but that h~rdly needs to be pointed out. The more interesting upshot is rather different. Socalled "'p rogressive thought ," to the extent that US's graduate Marxist group represents it, seems to see itsdf as so ideologically downtrodden and to have reached such a state of inteUectual desperation that it must resort to claiming Hhadist cr usad~rs as resistance fighters and to recapturing lost thrills by going to bed with jew haters. - -St......, D tponmmt of Utbon and Regiono/ Planning School of Atthit«<... and Planning / - �&I Repqrter llay 6. 2084/Vul. 3~ lo.33 BRIEFLY Tech CUIRp . . . ft finals scNdllld -In- Fcu-ol-and Ia ... _,.... far cash and of $50,000 In .... - - of the....._..r--., alumni"""' Enlnprw-.~"' be hold"""'~ p.m.-r<Minthe...,.._ Dewlopnw1l Canlor, •n oe--. --..-_...the best business pion far. cammedily- -.alogy In theltHSofphyJio;AIIand . . 1Cion«$ will win • prize pod<oge thot lndudes ·ru,ooo 1n -'!'~«f\Oldlng; ofFoml ofllce prollided- by -North Devolopmenl (volued ot more than J18,000~..,.- of bwlnossl<9oi...W..from one- loeddofleischnwlnliMugel UP, of'*' training from HoM and - . s , one - o f accounting ...W.. · trom Flddler and Compony, and one of acMrtising -from Flynn and Friends.

A cbemistry department found ways to reduct fume-hood use without aff.cting classes or reseanh. A library department found a way to recycle microfiches and inicrofilms. These are just few of UB's environmental efforts that were celebrated last week on Earth Day as part of tbe new Green Partner~ program orga11iz.ed by faculty, staff and students of tbe university's Environmental Task Foret. "UB is the size of a small city," said Walter Simpson, UB's energy officer and coordinator of the Green Partners program. "We have numerous mvironmental impacts associated with the resources we use, the products we·purchase and discard, the modes of transportation we use to get to and from campus, and the ways we manage the campus property itself. "The gnal of the Green Partners program is to celebrate and fur. ther encourage campus offices, departments and organizations to rhakc additional commit-merits to reducing the university•s environmental footprint ." Simpson said UB has been a A a national leader in the green ~cam · pus movement. serving as a model for oth~r large universities. He stressed, however, that greater participation from aU corners of the university is ~uired if UB is going to maintain that position and continue to reduce its environmental impact. "For this reason, the Environmental Task Force bas reached out to new ..

So far, 25 partners have hem identified, ranging from academic departments and institutional services to underg~duatt and graduate student groups.

Description An account of the resource The UB <em>Reporter</em> began publication on January 22, 1970, a time of tumult at the University. It succeeded the newsletter, <em>Colleague</em>, and to this day, serves as the official source for "in house," internal news. The first issue included an editorial, "Why The Reporter?" explaining the rationale for the newspaper: <br /><blockquote> <p>The feeling was that the University lacks a sense of community—that communication is too helter-skelter—that too many groups feel alienated, apart. Somehow, it was felt, if these groups—faculty, student and staff—could come together on the commons and share their concerns and ideas, their activities, their aspirations and whatever else they have to offer, community and communications would result…But it will not produce instant community. Each of us will have to work toward that goal.</p> </blockquote> <br />The Reporter ceased print production in May 2009 when it became an online only publication; in Spring 2016 it became a daily publication.  The Reporter was re-named UB Now in Spring 2016.

Essentially, if a Sllldent lives off campus in housing that is not owned by, operated by or affiliated with the univenity, be or she is considered to be a commuter student.

(NIDRR) to research, evaluate1 transfer and commercialize assistive devices for persons with disabilities. . The T_RERC, which is beginning its third competitive five-year grant cycle, facilitates introduction of new and improoed producu into the r;narlr.etplact to meet employ. ment. education, recreation and independent-living needs of people with disabilities. This lateJt grant brings total federal funding of the cmter to $16.75 million. Since its inception, the T_RERC. with its communitybased partner, the Western New York lnd~dent Living Center, has put "2\.new products into the hands of cohsumen. One of the most successful m:ent examples ofT_RERC's collaboration with industry is the Black & Decket- udsOII"' Automatic Jar Opener, which was introduced ·in June 2003. The jar opener is a boon to persons with poor grip strength. The center is one unjt under the umbrella of UB's Center for Assistive Technology, w'!ich is pan of the School of Public Health and Health Professions. Maurizio ·Trevisan, interim dean of the school and a professor in the Department of Social and Preventive Medicine, said the renewal is a dear indication of the ongoing j;,portanct of the center's work. "The fact that the cmter is entering its third five-year grant cyde validates the outstanding work done.to date by cmter investigators and staff; and their insights into the future," Tmisan said. Step~ M. Bauer, clinical assistant professor of rehabilitation science and director of the T....RERC. said the new grant will support several new endeavors. "In the next five yean, the center will carry out four development projects aimed at introducing new products into the marketplace, and complete four research projects that will advance the st1te of the an of the tecbnology trans: UB Sc:bool of lnformatioo, Bauer said.

The fourth research project will involve laboratory and borne trials of transferred and marketed products to assess the value and utility of tbese products to consumers. The new grant builds on the cmter's past success in bringing products to the marketplace that help solve lifestyle and sakty problems for with disabilities. In addition to the LidsOII"' jar opener, new products developed by the center include: • The "A=nda Atxessible Rmlot< Control," a vOICie-Op<rllted, remote-control unit for homeentertainment S)'5t<mS.

To do th at, the scientists employed a technique caUed geometric morphometries, wfllch documents aspects of shape and size in a specimen based on landmarksdiscrete anatomical points that generally are uniform for related specimens. For example, Dunlavey significa nt issue, they increasingly· explained, one might consider the are interested in the many fossils eyes in a human face as a land- mark feature and, since human faces are expected to he bilaterally symmetric. the right eye is expect· ed to he located on the opposite side of the face at Jhe same height as tlie left one. In the same way, she said, many fossils are expected to he bilateraUy symmetric in their original form, a conceptthat~a~p~ofthe UB computer programs. To gauge the reliability of the new rctrodeformation programs, Dunlavey used several fossils of graptolites, which are the remains of an extinct group o£ marine organisms. Because their original shape •is · weD-known, MitcheU said, several sets of deformed, slightly deformed and non -deformed graptolites served as an excellent test case. So far, the type of deformation the UB team has excised from these specimens is what geologists call structural deformationchanges in the earth's crust that occur over many millions of years during mountain building. During their work, the researchers discov; red that · a significant amount of deformation also occurs from the hardening of the soft mud the organisms were buried in', which flattened the fossils, producing asymmetry. "First these fossils were squashed during this hardening process and then theY were smeared during mountain building." explained Mitchell. The team plans to apply its computational techniques to both types of deformation to develop methods that will provide the dearest view of what the fossils looked like when they were still living.

For more information see, http://dublincore.org/documents/dces/. Description An account of the resource The UB <em>Reporter</em> began publication on January 22, 1970, a time of tumult at the University. It succeeded the newsletter, <em>Colleague</em>, and to this day, serves as the official source for "in house," internal news. The first issue included an editorial, "Why The Reporter?" explaining the rationale for the newspaper: <br /><blockquote> <p>The feeling was that the University lacks a sense of community—that communication is too helter-skelter—that too many groups feel alienated, apart. Somehow, it was felt, if these groups—faculty, student and staff—could come together on the commons and share their concerns and ideas, their activities, their aspirations and whatever else they have to offer, community and communications would result…But it will not produce instant community. Each of us will have to work toward that goal.</p> </blockquote> <br />The Reporter ceased print production in May 2009 when it became an online only publication; in Spring 2016 it became a daily publication.  The Reporter was re-named UB Now in Spring 2016.

Bruer A. Holm, who as a senior viu proV051 has been UB's point person on many of its high -technology and life-sciences projects, has been appointed eXecutive director of the center. . In addition to bioinformatics, Holm will oversee units in molecular targeting, gene expression, proteomics and structural biology, disease modeling, and pharmacokinetics, as well os1a clinical research PAGE2 center and an lnterventional we:l.l as at our partner institutions. UB's coUaboration with Roswell Park and Hauptman-Woodward is deep-rooted; new collabetative efforts realized through the expanded center will strengthen all thrtt institutions in fulfilling their missions.• Simpson noted that more than $290 million has been obtained in support of the Buffalo Center of Excellence in Bioinformatics and Population Health Observatory.

As of Jan I, 2004, all internship programs were phased out nationally, and .only those programs that are aa:reditod or seeking accreditation mnain. When faced with th< deci· sion to either seek acaeditation or phase out th< program, UB recognized that because there were virtually no entry-level graduate programs in athletic training, then! was a huge opportunity to d<velop a new and very difft:rent kind of program. UB recogniud the uniquenm of a progt"am that would oombine an already strong major in exercise science with ath· letic training, incorporating the research emphasis of UB and the clinical opportunities that exist in the Bulfalo area. In addition, it was decided to establish the program as a five-year BS/MS, which would m.U it any other athletic training program in the oountry. Our mission, therefore, is to develop athletic trainers who display excellence in athletic training and in =is< science through schol· arship. skill and research.

Students who already hold bachelors degrees normally i:nter into the program as "jun.iors" and com- plete the remainder of the program in three years.

SEl.ECTU) SHORTS "Nettles" by Allee Munro, rNd by Kate Burton; "lies I've Told" by Sue AJfison, read by Barbara Barrie El David Strathaim � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections. For more information see, http://dublincore.org/documents/dces/. Description An account of the resource The UB <em>Reporter</em> began publication on January 22, 1970, a time of tumult at the University. It succeeded the newsletter, <em>Colleague</em>, and to this day, serves as the official source for "in house," internal news. The first issue included an editorial, "Why The Reporter?" explaining the rationale for the newspaper: <br /><blockquote> <p>The feeling was that the University lacks a sense of community—that communication is too helter-skelter—that too many groups feel alienated, apart. Somehow, it was felt, if these groups—faculty, student and staff—could come together on the commons and share their concerns and ideas, their activities, their aspirations and whatever else they have to offer, community and communications would result…But it will not produce instant community. Each of us will have to work toward that goal.</p> </blockquote> <br />The Reporter ceased print production in May 2009 when it became an online only publication; in Spring 2016 it became a daily publication.  The Reporter was re-named UB Now in Spring 2016.

Description An account of the resource The UB <em>Reporter</em> began publication on January 22, 1970, a time of tumult at the University. It succeeded the newsletter, <em>Colleague</em>, and to this day, serves as the official source for "in house," internal news. The first issue included an editorial, "Why The Reporter?" explaining the rationale for the newspaper: <br /><blockquote> <p>The feeling was that the University lacks a sense of community—that communication is too helter-skelter—that too many groups feel alienated, apart. Somehow, it was felt, if these groups—faculty, student and staff—could come together on the commons and share their concerns and ideas, their activities, their aspirations and whatever else they have to offer, community and communications would result…But it will not produce instant community. Each of us will have to work toward that goal.</p> </blockquote> <br />The Reporter ceased print production in May 2009 when it became an online only publication; in Spring 2016 it became a daily publication.  The Reporter was re-named UB Now in Spring 2016.

Therefore, the chair of the commirtee also has been the director of Judicial Affairs. Describe some of the alcohol •w•reness progruns or events th•t the ARB ~son . The ARB traditionally has sponsored a speaker in the spring semester that is geared toward athletes, RAs and fraternities and sororities about the dangers of alcohol and drug abuse. In this case, we receive support from a NCAA speakers grant. We also are sponso rs of Funfest, which is a great event that usually happens on a Friday evening and proVides intramural spo.rts, music, dancing. food and prizes so that students have an alternative to the bar sane.

The achievement of a trans genic butterfly marks a turning point in the study of these inseq.s, ¥onteiro explained. "The drive behind the study of butterflies mainly has been to understand the function of their beautiful and diverse color pat· terns in the context of the butterfly's ecelogy," she said. "Our ultimate goal is to integrate our understanding of the developmental genetics of color· pattern formation with the ecological and evolutionary processes in which these patterns play a role."

Kent Klelittnan, professor and chair of the Department ol Architecture tn the School of Program developed by UB geographers c:an provide guidance on firehouse closings Software figtl!es fire response times \'1 UUN GOI..DeAUM 90 percent of the time it should Contributing Edit<>< nett dosest fire companies to send." said Thill. The geographers mapped 125,000 911 caUs made within the • city of Buffalo from 1998 to 2002 'using an innovativeoombinationof algorithms and geographic information systems (GIS) techniques. "Ours is the 6{St software that can accurately depid the time it tak<s for a specific fire company to tab four minutes or Jess for the EW municipal aru are as politically risky as the announcement of the dosing of a firehouse: City governments cite population shifts and underutilizatiun of resourus, while unions, neighborhood activists and local politicians charge that innocent lives are at risk. Now, UB geographers have developed t~ first software tool that .determines precisely how long it takes for fi.re companies to reach fires, medical emergencies and sites of other rescue operations in order to assess how weU a city iS being served by the quantity and distribution of its firefighting rtsources. The software, which is applicable to any c.ity, is called Time Emergency Response Assessment System (ERTAS). .. Everything comes· down · to response time." said Jean-Oaude Thill, professor in the Department of Geography in the College of Aru and Sciences and co-developer of ERTAS with Irene Casas. assistant professor of geography. .. \Ve wanted to look at how long it took to get the first fi re company to the site of th~ emergency and how long to get a 'full first-alarm assignmen t' response-when all firefighters have arrived so they can begin to work," he explained. National guidelines state that in areas like Buffalo that are served by professional fire departments, F first company to reach the emergency site and eight minutes or less for deployment, when aU firefighters have arrived, said Thill. The UB geograph_ers developed the tool in response to a request in 2002 from the Buffalo Common Council, which was struggling to determine which fire stations to dose as a result of population shifts in the city and severe budgetary problems. "Our primary goal was origi- respond to ' fires and other nner- naJJy not to figure out how many firehouses could be safely dosed; said Thill. .. Rather, it was to assess how Buffalo was complying with the National Fire Protection Association guidelines. As th e project advanced and as the unique capabilities of our software became appa rent to public officials, we were askrd to advise them on the safety of alternative flrehouse·closing plans." The software calculates ex;tctly how long it takes fire companies to reach a blaze depending on the types of streets on which they have to travel, how many seconds it takes specific vehicles to tum on those streets and how IonS it will take fire co mpanies in neigh · Sf>-tlal dhtltbut'- of -.....ted response times (In seconds) of ...,..,..tus the flnt emi1rgency to etMf941ndes that occurred ln the City of Buffolo during the period 19911·2001 . with static situations," said Casas. "They assume that aU fire com· panies are available and sim ulate the travel time froni the station to a blaze. But multiple emergency calls can occu r with some fre· quency within a single fire company's jurisdiction and our simulations are the first that can · accurately ponray that." For example, if an alarm rang in a Buffalo firehouse at l2:01 a.m. on Jan. I. 2001, the code looked for the five closest companies to send. "Once that happened, those five gencies, based on 911 calls received,".said Thill.

Candidiasis is a common fungal infection in persons undergoing chemotherapy or organ transplantation, or those infected with HJV. ...We wanted to develop an antifungal agent that would have fewer side effects than current trcatments,01 said Libuse Bobek, professor o( oral biology in the Schoof of Dental Medicine and senior author on the study. "We found that a peptide caUed MUC7 12-mer-D, a small piece of the parent human salivary protein mucin, killed 92 percent of the fungal agent C. albicans in saliva in vitro... Bobek presented her study findings yesterday at the International Association of Dental Research meeting in Hawaii. Peptides are susceptible to enzyme degrap.atioo in saliva, which makes them less active or completely inactive. That is not the case with MUC7 12-mer-D, however, Bobek noted. "This peptide, in which D-amino acid 4erivatives are substituted for natural L-amino acids (producing a mirror images of the original), is not recognized and thus not bro"ken down by proteirr-degrading enzymes in saliva," she said. To prove this point, Bobek tested the activity of the peptide in saliva and salt solutions containing C. a/bica11~ and compared its fungicidal activity with MUG 12 ~ mer, natural L form, the normal cOnfiguration of the peptide. This peptide also is active against C. a/hicans, but it is susceptible to enzyme degradation. Rtsults showed that in saliva, at I00 micromolar concentration, the D peptide killed 95 percent of ihe organism, wliile the L peptide killed only 56 percent. In the salt solution, and at much lower concentration (25 micromolar), the D peptide killed 85 percent of the fungal agent, while the L form killed less than 20 percent. The D peptide also was much less toxic than current treatments.

Experience counts in altering bias By LOIS BAKER \ Contributlng Editor ESULTS of a UB program designed to dispel age bias among dental students has confirmed a univers.al truth: Expe~ ricnce is a more powerful teacher than words. Findings from a survef admiiiistered to dental students befor< they took part in an intervention deve loped to increase .. their knowledge of th e elderly and again at the end of the school year that bias actually showed increased in students who had not yet worked with geriatric patients. However, bias decreased in students who had treated the elderly in the school's clinics during the year. Jude Fabiano, associate professor of restorative dentistry in the School of Dental Medicine, will report the findings on Saturday at the Iniernationa] Xssociation of Dcntal Research meeting. FaBiano acknowledged that R treating elderly patients can be frustrating. "They may miss an appointment because they are caring for a spouse or because they rely on others for transponation," he said. "The~ may bring personal issues into the clinic. Providers can become impatient:' Knowing some overall concerns Of, and liiu'itatiOn on, the elderly would help dental providers hav~ more empathy for rheir senior patients, Fabiano hypothesized. With that theory in mind, he and colleagues from the dental school and the School of Social Work presented a lecture, smallgroup seminar or similar program .. devoted to issues affecting the elderly to each den~school class in 2002. Before the program, students filled out a standard surveydesigned to assess their age bias. The survey contained 25 questions gauged to assess general knowledge of hCalth issues in aging. All students took the quiz again at the end Qf the school year. Fabiano and coUeagu.,". tabulated scores from the pre- and post-test to arrive at a net bias score (the positive bias score minus the negative bias sco~) for each class. They found that the net bias score actually increased from preto-post test-indicating more negative bias--in students who were in·'th"e first twiJ•years ··of dental school when they spend most of their time in the classroom. In other words, knowledge alone didn't make students feel more positively toward elderly patients. However, the net bias score went down. for the third - and fourth -year students. These students had worked with the elderly in clinics by the time they had. taken part in the program and completed the survey. ""We learned from this that it is not so much what they know about the elderly that is important," said Fabiano. "but their personal experiences relating to the geriatric patient that makes a diffe.rence." "Cocktail" protects new peptide By LOIS BAK£R Contributing Editor T HE ami-microbial activity of promising peptides shown in laboratory studies to kill several medicaUy important fungi, some of which are resistant to c~rent drugs, can be enhanced further by protecting the peptides from enzymes programmed to destroy them , UB oral biologists have found. A protease inhibitor cocktail containing compounds that inactivate the enzymes that normally would degrade the small pieces of pio tein enabled the potential treatments for oral infe<tions to more than double their antimicrobial action , results showed. Guo-x ian Wei, postdoctoral associate in the laboratory of Libuse Bobek, professor of o ral biology in th< School of Dental Medicine, reported the siUdy findings today at the International Association of Dental Research meeting in Hawaii. One peptide in particular, called MUC7 12-mer, has shown particular promise for treating drugresistant fungal strains, Wei said. Only a few drugs are available to treat these infections, and some fungal organisms · alr~ady are resistant, presenting a particu1ar ··problem for patients with depressed immune systems, such as those with HIV/AJDS, organ-transplant patients and chemotherapy patients. In earlier research in Bobek's laboratory, MUC7 12-mer killed fungal agents that cause the most common opportunistic infections that thre-c~ten these patients--candidiaSis and cryptococcosis. In addition, the peptide \-\'aS acti\'t in very low concentrations, rt.-dudng the likelihood of adverse reactions. \ How~ver, when the UB researchers tested MUC7 . 12-mer in saliva, its potency decreased considerably. _They theorized that enzymes, or proteases, in the saliva were breaking down the peptide. To test their theory, they exposed the microbes to the peptide in the presence o f saliva and a commercially available protease inhibitor cocktail. Results showed that MUC7 12mer killed 96 percent to 99 percent of five different fungal strains in the presence of .the protease inhibitors. Without the inhibitors, the peptide killed 18 percent, 21 percent and 40 percent o f three strains and approximately 74 percent of nvo st rains. "These results confi rm o ur hypothesis that the PIC protects and increases anti-m icrobia l action of this peptide," said Wei. s orlsReca ~as~et~all MEN' S UB 90, Northern llllnols 7J (MAC Tournament First Round) UB beu Northern llllnols. 9G-73,1n the openina round d. the 2004 first Enercr Mld,Amerian Confenonce Tournament on Moncloy niCJ1t before . the brpst crowd In Alumni Arena • history (8.971).

Description An account of the resource The UB <em>Reporter</em> began publication on January 22, 1970, a time of tumult at the University. It succeeded the newsletter, <em>Colleague</em>, and to this day, serves as the official source for "in house," internal news. The first issue included an editorial, "Why The Reporter?" explaining the rationale for the newspaper: <br /><blockquote> <p>The feeling was that the University lacks a sense of community—that communication is too helter-skelter—that too many groups feel alienated, apart. Somehow, it was felt, if these groups—faculty, student and staff—could come together on the commons and share their concerns and ideas, their activities, their aspirations and whatever else they have to offer, community and communications would result…But it will not produce instant community. Each of us will have to work toward that goal.</p> </blockquote> <br />The Reporter ceased print production in May 2009 when it became an online only publication; in Spring 2016 it became a daily publication.  The Reporter was re-named UB Now in Spring 2016.

And one of the key benefits of the university- ~ide rollout is the potential to improve universitywide communication and services, MyUB developers say. "Everyone suffers from duplication of communication from multiple sources; now there's a way to streamline communication in a consistent mann(r," says Voldemar lnnus, vice president -and chief information officer. "We now have choices,'' lnnus says, noting that not every communication is "mission critical," requiring university-wide email. The more uniVmity·.OO. email is used for things that are not \ mission critical, the more it devalues the communication, he says, noting ihat many people automatically delete email &om univ.rsity-wide lis~ because they've been inundated by communication that is not of interest to them. MyUB <http://myub.buffolo.edu> offers different places to organize communications, he points out. For inslance, the information channel "Important Announcements" is for mission-critical items, such as the dosing of the university or the announcement of a new president or provost, that are of interest to all members of the university community. And "Need to Know" houses communications that have a critical impact, such as relevant deadlines, financial information, and health and safety and quality of life issues. Moreover, MyUB can "finegrain" information, l.nnus says. For example, information that is only of interest to faculty members can be sent only to faculty members via MyUB; infor- mation for senior engineering majors can be sent only to senior engineering majors. "People can target their messages to the people who want and need them; it's less spam and· more effective communication,.. he says ... It frees up email to do what it does best." Anyone wishing to submit an announcement for diss6ilination through MyUB should email ubinfo@buffalo.edu. lnnus notes that a recent redesign of MyUB stre-.unlined the interface, provided for faster downloads and added a "MyPage" feature as a second window to MyUB. While an individual's MyUB page provides information targeted to the user depending on his or her status at the universitya facu)ty member in the College of Arts and Sciences, for instance, or a senior architecture _major-the MyPage allows the user to cus· tomize the page depending upon his or her individual ·interests. ·Many users .add the weather, UB news, Buffalo News headlines., events or favorite Web links to the page, he notes. MyPage also allows users to rearrange information channels, change the foot siu or even change the color palate, he says, comparing the exercise to redecorating one's home. "This is my tool and it should be o~nized the way I think," he says. Thtrt is, however, one constant on everyone's MyPage: the "need to know" channel, Inn us says. In order to gain perspective on how to improve MyUB,. steering groups have been formed through the Administrativt System Advisory Board (ASAB), says Elias Eldayrie, associate viet president for information technology.

Law school admissions deci sions have a profound impact on the legal profession and on America's social and political institutions. Deciding ..who gets in" is an important, bUI complex social act. The recent Sup~me Coun decision in Grurter v. Bollinger, a ~ that questioned the University of Michigan Law School's admissions process. noted that diversity in the admissions process provides a critical benefit to all participants in legal education and to the legal profession as a whole. The Mitchell Lectu"' panel discussion will offer differing perspec- tives on diversity and merit in law school admissions. Pandists will point to new strategies for achieving diversity and will assess the likdihood that such strategies actually m.ay b< implem<nted. They also will draw connections bttw=l law school admissions decisions and r=nt changes in legal practice and the legal profession. The panelists will be: • David L O!amhers, Wade H.

Critic l.atho VISW3ll3than described the novd as one that "balances the exotic setting with the harsh realities poVerty and deprivation, and with themes of color and race... (and) offers catharsis through violence." It also is one, says Clarke, in which everything fell into place.

" If I have a concern about the future of churches. it is that they need to pay a little more attC:ntio~ to what they're teaching young people." Long known as a man of con~ siderable substanoo and style, he is the "go-to" person on a variety of issues as a SUNY faculty senator and a member of the UB Faculty Senate and its executive committee, where he previously represented the College of Arts and from 2000-03. He Was chair of the Faculty Senate from 1970-72. It's evident in watching and listening to Baumer that the impulse to· set things right clearly is motivated by the greater good, rather than per.onal gain. As a young man, he says it was the study of history and philosophy as an undergraquate, the example of his parents and a number of professors over the years that gave him an appreciation for what he believes to be the requirements of a citiz.en in a democratic society, which can best be explained by his own commitment to faculty governance. "If faculty is concerned about the university and what it is and where it's going. this is how you do something about that If you don't want to participate in faculty governance, what you're basically saying is that somebody else can decide all these questionS- I believe faculty governance is imponant and if faculty believe that, then they better behave that way and participate and do the work," says Baumer.

Students downplay racial label By PATIIICIA DONOVAN Contributing Editor N a study of how American high school stud enb describe thdr suci.1l iden· tities ~ n UB education professor has found that a sizeablt• numbt•r of · ruung people downplay conventional racial and ethnic labels and are constructing social identities ~nlikc those of previous generations. Ca therine Cornblcth, professor in the Gradua te School of Educa tion, reported these results in her recent study, "Hearing America's Youth: Social Identities in Uncertain Times." Cornhlelh says the results show that it is important to hea r them out:-to understand wh)' and how their social identities differbecause of the potential societal impact of their changing views. "Young people's social iden· titics," she say~."ofTer glimpses of J possible future. a look at where 'we:' seem to be hc.ldt.·d. "I predict the wa ning of r.Kisrn .l!l r.KC,fl('r St'. a~ it fadt•s in irnpor- I ranee to young people," she says. "but I expect th ey will continue to cite racism as a social problem, rather than net as if it isn't there. " My hunch is that although young people as they· grow older still will idcntifr themseln·s in racial and ethnic terms," Cornbleth says. "they are likely to increasingly insist that mixed ancestry and .. none of the above" be recognized as authentic categories of ethnic or racioil distinction." The study was developed from interview.:. conducted by Comhleth and her research team with high sthool juniors and seniors at six schools in metropolitan areas with diverse populations in Western New York and cen tral California. ''\Ve wanted to learn how young people see and describe them selves, ·the identity markers they· employ and the meaninSs th ey attach to them . And the students were reSponsive," she says, "some l'\prcssi ng surpri se th at anyone from thr uniwrsity c.urd about their ide~s." Approximately one-third of the \. ~ young people interviewed rejected raciaUethnic identity markers and others downplaycd them. "Racism, however, was widely mentioned," Cornbleth S3)'S, ''sometimes~~ length, C\'Cn though we didn't a.'\k directlr about it." Also significant, says Cornblcth, is what the youth had to say about being American. While no single "meaning" or ..theme" related to being American was voiced by a majority of the students-and some mentioneQ more than onc-43 percent of the students described being an American in terms of "freedom, rights and opportunity." "At the ti me of oor interview~. being American was background, nOt foreground, for these students. A handful mentioned that they might feel more American outside the U.S. than they do living here. Recent even ts such as the Iraq War and the con tinu ing 'war on terrorism' might have altered you ng people's sense of being American. but th at's an cmpiric;II question we haven't ret examined," she observed. 15 EleclronicHighwways Ready reference to the rescue 0 TIM ua l.lbnlites recently revamped ill Wtb site's collection of what we librarians call "ready ref=ce• iools--the rderence sources we use to answer quick, fact-based questions that come our way at referenu desks via telephone calls, submitted by e-mail or instant messaging.

The goal of the project is to .introduce students to the emerging field of bioinformatics, where the life sciences meet computational science, in the hopes of inspiring-and reta.iiting-some of Western New York's best and brightest young people. "Western New York will be one of a handful of regions in the nation that soon will introduce a bioinformatics program into the high school cur ricult~m," said Thomas Furlani, associate director of CCR and co-director of its high school bioinformatics project. "Next ' Generation Called Scientists: Training for Students and Teachers." the project is funded by Verizon Corp. "Verizon embraces UB's bioinforma tics I?rogram as an economic-development engine that will improve job prospects and help keep our youth in Western New York," said Maureen RaspClose, Verizon's director of community affairs. "Everyo ne wins with an educated workfo rce." Furlani noted that the program provides student s with a unique experience. "The students in this program will be learning skills in computer science and biology that most high school students aren't aimed at spurring economic . small computer clusters and development and creating jobs. PERL, the basic programming To dcvclop a sltilled workforce language for bioinformatics. that can · leve.rage the region's At Mt.

" In pursuing this project with cc~ and Verizon, the fields of computer technology and bioinformatics have been opened up for our young women to Jearn abouJ, and to play and ·experiment with.

For more information see, http://dublincore.org/documents/dces/. Description An account of the resource The UB <em>Reporter</em> began publication on January 22, 1970, a time of tumult at the University. It succeeded the newsletter, <em>Colleague</em>, and to this day, serves as the official source for "in house," internal news. The first issue included an editorial, "Why The Reporter?" explaining the rationale for the newspaper: <br /><blockquote> <p>The feeling was that the University lacks a sense of community—that communication is too helter-skelter—that too many groups feel alienated, apart. Somehow, it was felt, if these groups—faculty, student and staff—could come together on the commons and share their concerns and ideas, their activities, their aspirations and whatever else they have to offer, community and communications would result…But it will not produce instant community. Each of us will have to work toward that goal.</p> </blockquote> <br />The Reporter ceased print production in May 2009 when it became an online only publication; in Spring 2016 it became a daily publication.  The Reporter was re-named UB Now in Spring 2016.

Raja designed a planning studio in which I I UB graduate st udents in urban and regional planning would examine the West Side's food security system and make reco mmendations on how it can be improved. Raja says food securi ty is a very important issue that affects although most everyone, American cities give very little attention to it. he became inter· ested in the topic while studying for her doctorate at the Uni· versity of Wisconsin, Madison. " Food security is high when nutritious, affordable and cui· turally appropriate .food is easily accessible by a specific com· munity," she explains. "If a food - distribution system dd<s not meet those criteria, then it is insecure, even if those in the community ar< not literally 'hungry.'" A long-tern>, lllgh-quality, comprehensive food system, then, calls for a secure-, easily available, affordable, fresh and varied diet. A high-carbohydrate, high-fat, expensive diet will not do, no maner how quickly and easily it can be accessed at the comer deli, fastfood restaurant or food pantry: Raja expressed her surp~ise at . apparent government disinterest in food-management systems, panicularly in urban areas. to the closest large grocery store.

Raja and Picard are proponents of community gardens. both as a .source of fresh pmduce and as a stimulus to community revital- ization and stronger neighborhoods. They point out that Buffalo has plenty of vacant .land for such gardens, unlike cities such as Chicago, where urban lots are rapidly developed. her experience, Raja says gardening could address a lot of issues that confront urban neighbor- ' hood>-the eradication of unsightly vacant lots; an increase: in property values; the pmduction and availability of cheap, fresh produce, and the opportunity for hands-on agricultural, biological, chemical and food-chain education.

For more information see, http://dublincore.org/documents/dces/. Description An account of the resource The UB <em>Reporter</em> began publication on January 22, 1970, a time of tumult at the University. It succeeded the newsletter, <em>Colleague</em>, and to this day, serves as the official source for "in house," internal news. The first issue included an editorial, "Why The Reporter?" explaining the rationale for the newspaper: <br /><blockquote> <p>The feeling was that the University lacks a sense of community—that communication is too helter-skelter—that too many groups feel alienated, apart. Somehow, it was felt, if these groups—faculty, student and staff—could come together on the commons and share their concerns and ideas, their activities, their aspirations and whatever else they have to offer, community and communications would result…But it will not produce instant community. Each of us will have to work toward that goal.</p> </blockquote> <br />The Reporter ceased print production in May 2009 when it became an online only publication; in Spring 2016 it became a daily publication.  The Reporter was re-named UB Now in Spring 2016.

On the ·Slee stage Visits key to meeting UB constituency By SUE WUETCH£11 RqKit~ I Editor T'S a daunting task, but VB Pre.ident john B. Simpson plans to visit every academic department at the universil'y within the next year. Simpson told members of the UB Council attending the body's first mee ting of the spring semester that it's important for him to meet his constituency, both on and off campus. "This, I feel, is the kind of thing I want to do--go out and meet people on their own tUrf ·and understand what their issues are, what the excitement is ... and to get to know in a personal way the individuals and the enterprises that they pursue," he said. Simpson alsd introduced to co uncil members James A. (Beau) Willis, forme rly assistant provost at the University of California, Santa Cruz, who Simpson has named as his chief of staff. In his position, which is new to the UB Pre.iden t's Office, Simpson said thai Wdlis will be responsible for the day-to-day operations of the President's Office. He also will provide policy and strategic <!,.dvice to Simpson and serve as the president's liaison, wi}_en appropriate, to various Uif and off- =~ fourth ond ftfth concerts d the Slee/leethoYen String Quortet Cycles next month In Slee Concert H.ll PAG E2 ~/l'!liU/R HUN\ M more teat at W~b L link on Wt>b •if~ P more photo!. on Wt1'b A oddltlonol link on Web •lte campus constituendes.

For the Marines, it's an opportunity to take part in the fight against noise -induced hearing loss in the military omd in society in general. For researchers at UB's Center for Hearing and Deafness, it's a chance to put to the ultimate test a d~g they studied for more than eight years in the labora tory and tested successfully in animals. The drug to be tested is N-awylcystine. or NAC. an antioxidant compound approved bj• the FDA in a different fo rm for loosening mu,lis in airways o r breathing tubes and for tll."aring liver dam.lge from overuse of acetam inophen . Bringing it to the clinical trial stage for use against noise-induced hearing loss invol\'ed a series of studies begun in 1995 and coUab- = ~;:n- . 1\!) TO Simpson to visit academic units a \ oration between UB scientists and military physicians. Donald H. Henderson, professor of communicative diSorders and sciences, and Bo Hua Hu , r~rch scientist, both from the Center for Hearing and Deafness (CHD}, di~ the basic re.earch, while Richard Kopke and Michael Hoeffer, physicians at the U.S. Naval Medical Center in San Diego. handled the clinical aspects. The patent, which is held by UB and the U.S. Navy, is the first on a drug to prevent noise· induced hearing loss. Noise-induced hearing loss is one of the mosl common and dev· astating occupational injuries in industrialized societies, affecting about 10 million people in the U.S. alone. The villain is ox:idath'e strc:ss.. damage caused by too many free oxygen molecules. o r free radi<'• ls. These rogue molecules kill the delicate hair ct.•lls of the inner ea r, " 'hich convert energy from sound wave:, into electrica l impulses that l.'Urry audio stimuli to the brain's hearing center. As hair cells die, hearing diminishes. Henderson began working with Kopke to investigate ways to make hair cells ctSistant to oxidative stress when Kopke was a fellow at Albert Einstein · College ofi Medicine. Earlier research conducted separately at the CHD and the Karolinska Institute in Stockholm had shown that exposing animals to low levels of noise for one to I 0 days made their ears.significantly more resistant to damage from toxic noise: The low-level noise doses appeared to "inoculate" the animals against hearing loss. Kopke and Henderson then set out to determine why the ear became more damage-resistant with so-called prophylactic c:xposu.re by studying the biochemical change. in the ear. They disco,'Crcd, to their surprise, that repeated non-toxic noise exposure increased the levels of free-radical destroying a'ntioxidants in the inner L'". lf in much the same way that inoculation with weakened diseasecausing organisms primes the body' immune system to produce more disease-fighting cells. The researchers next worked on producing the same pro tective c-t~nuet~_,.,.. . thinking about the future and setting the course of the Univ~ity at Buffalo is something that is a very positi~ outcome for all of us," he said.

Huccilli notes that other univer- sities, among them the University of Virginia, James Madison Um versi t)' and the University of Wis- consm. have developed video dips Jbout computer security issues. In fact, the U.Va. project provided the inspiration for "Caught in the Act," she- says. "We decided to do a video clip that sends a message, that would make students think twice and hopefully go to a Web-site location and get the sp.edfics on how to keep their compu ters safe," she says. While the U. Va. project adapted and modified a Monster.com ad, writers would come from the departments of Media Studies and Theatre and Da nce," Buccilli ~ out. noti ng that the two lead ~tors in the clip are undergraduate theatre-and-dance students. and the scriptwriter was a graduate media study student. The "Caught in the Act" ,;deo dip uses a story line in which a male and female student talk suggestively about being able to do "dangerous" things with computers. The pair is "ca ught in the act" by th e fe male student 's father while illegaUy downloading some music. The mlle student then is hauled off to jail by two blackcoated security agents. BuccilU notes that during the past three years, computer security incidents "have increased tremendously"' at us,-adding that there have been numerous secu- rity incidents, and last fall semester in particular there were 72 stu· denu who lost their UB IT access because their personal computers were not st-cured and became compromised by viruses and worms, such as blaster. Moreover, the recording indus· try announced that it would prosecute persons found to be illegally downloading music, she says. WWe wanted to protect our sru· denu from being subpoenaed (by the recording industry)," she says. "We knew it was coming-w. had been reading the headlines." The video clip 'c'a5 a chana to get to students, to increase their awareness and point them to UB's security Web page for information about securing their IT aa:ounu and .their personal computers, she says. Buccilli says that the "Caught in th• Act" Web page, which can be viewed at <http://www.dt.buffolo.edu/oecurity/ caught.html > received 10,100 hiu from the late August tl!rough mid-January. ..

In addition to numerous novels and shon story collections, she has published several voll!mes of poetry, several books of plays, five books of Uterary criticism and the book-length essay, "On Boxing." John Gardner called her "'one of the greatesl writers of our time." Her writing has earned her much praise and many awards, among them her third Nobel Prize nomination in 1999. Oates's "'vision" often is that of a highly complex America Jioptllated with presumably ordinary families who experience common, yet intenK, emotions and relationships, and who frequentl y .encounter violence.

Main Street reconstruction to affect access to South Campus The long-ontldpated reconstruction of Main Stn!et from Bailey Avenue to Hertel Avenue is ap«1ed to begin in late February or early March and will impact access to the South Campus by both motorists and pedestrians.

NoUsays. Once '"ork at the Kenmore-Main intersection is finis hed, creWs will begin reconstruction of Main Street, beginning at Bailey Avenue and moving so uthwest towards Hertel. Noll says the Allen driveway onto the South Campus will be removed, and two new entrances to campus will be built~ne at the University Plaza and one across from Capen Boulevard. "These driveways will line up better in assisting motorists in· making turns out of campus, plus they will make it safer for pedestrians trying to aoss Main Street from campus to the University Plaza," he says. Another benefit of the reconstruction work is that the traffic lighu along Main Street will be timed during rush hour, be added. Crews will attempt to keep at least two traffic Janes open on Main Street and one driveway open into the Main-Bailey and NFTA parking lou during the construction, he says.

"Pan of the a perimce 'of this sort of meal," says Carolyn Korsmeyer, professor of philoso. phy, "involves an awareness;however underground, of the prestn~ of death amid the continuance of one's own life." Korsmeyer, the author of "Making S<n.sc of Tu tc: Food & Philosophy" ( 1999), among other . works. did not come to this conclusion easily. She has spent yurs analyzing recherchl tastes-the appeal of peppers so hot that they have been used as punishment, the poisonous parts of food that surround succulent and edible parts. blood puddings, overripe fruits. meats and vegetables whose toxins req uire careful flushing befo re they relinquish edible sub- , sta nces, decaying cheese ....

It seems to me most improbable to account fo r the development of such "terrible• cuisine si mply in terms of the search fo r a re-dll y good taste pleasure." says Korsme}'er. She argues that such foods have the capacity to fulfill the ki nds of symbolic functions fulmled by art-the transformation of an aversion into a pleasure, the disgusting into the delicious. She maintains that such foods also allow the eater to con sciously partake in what Leon K2,ss called "the great paradox of eating-namely, that to preserve their life and form, living fo rms necessarily dest roy - life and form." Margaret VLSSer ~ints out that, after we murder, tear up, peel, chop and tnat our dead an imals and plants with fire.; we chew them-a process "designed remorselessly to finish what killing and cooking began." Not all of this violence is apt to disturb us. Korsmeyer says, "and, indeed, for some people none of it does. But =tain meals ddiberately harbor an awareness of the fact that to sustain one's life, one takes anbther. This intuition looms · especially close to consciousness when the object of one's dinner is an animal whose form is still recognizable." Items whose flavor is offensive at firsc, she says. may be transfo rmed into foods that we savor for the very qual ities that r~peUed us-very hot spices and peppers that burn, for instance, and alcohol that sickens. · "Once we have cultivated a ta.ste for such th ings, food without them tastes bland," she points out. In fuct , she says. although the taste of toxins or repellan t substances that some foods come packaged . with, .. is washed away w make the food edible, si nce their tastes mean fo ulness or danger, sophisticated preparat ion often retai ns some of the noxious substances. ..

The tam of UB inventors who developed the technology will be at the launch of the new suit to discuss the underlying·science and the performance trials conducted in the UB center's facilities. The turbulator's sCience is grounded in the research tam's ~work in ftuid dynamia and its success in decomposing drag. brealcing it into its oornponeilt forces. "No one else had done that before.• Pm- derga,.t said. "We discovered there are three types of drag. Friction drag. the f'ortt of water mole- • rules as they pass over the body, is dependent on how long the body is. l'res5ure drag. the strongest force. results from pushing the water out of the way. w,n.., drag occurs at rclativdy high speeds and is the force cxened by Wi1\'l'S created." \'\fhen the researchers TurbUI•ton lncorpor•ted separated drag Into the design in to its three decre•se dr•g . compo nents , they found that pressure and friction drag exctted the highest influences, said Pendergast. Their next question was; How can drag be reduced? Their first inclination was to change the surfact of the swimsuit fabric, but that approach didn't reduce drag significantly. Enter the turbulator, a strategically placed, fabric-encased, flexible tube that introduces a raised ridge on the suit. Pendergast describes how this element improves the Ouid dynamics of a swimmer. "When water hits the shoulders of a swimmer, it S<P."f3les from the body, which creates drag. By adding a turbulator, we cause water to follow the body instead of separaLing from it. This change increases friction drag. but reduces pressure drag. We found that placing a turbulator on the front and back of a suit signiJicantly redllad pressure drag. ovucoming the increased friction drag and adding a competitive advantage" MeanwbiJe. 1YR bad approached Albert (Budd) Termin, 0 , US's swimming coach. whose swimmers compete in the company's suits, about working on reducing drag. Termin has collaborated extensivdy with Pmdergast and Mollendorf on improving swimming efliciency. Over a two·y<ar period, the ieam tested 20 suit models incorporating the turbulator for 1YR at the Center for Research and Edudltion in Special Environments. The trials took place in the center's special annular (doughnut-shaped) pool designed for conducting a variety of specialized research, induding measuring drag1and other hydrodynamic propenies. and in UB's competition pool. "The work was part theory and part praC£ice." said Pendergast. " It turned out the siu o( the turbu lator was crucial. We'd predict how a certain size and placement wouJd respond,lYR would build the su it, and we tested and retested." The final design incorporates a series of turbulators positioned on the suit front, across the shoulders md across the hips.

This also was a time when fruit was something purchased from a farmer, not a mail-order catalogue. But the concept caught on, and now, with the advent of the Internet, "of the month" dubs (or OI'MCs) offer everything from beer and pizza to wines and chocolate.

If our work at UB can help decrease bearing loss from both noise and aging, we will have made great strides toward our goal of deC..ting this dis/ . abling conditiOn." �Jaooary29,214/Yat35.1o.21 ~ 7 Ma5tering the Alumni pool o Fitness, fun key elements for Nickel City swimmers By DONNA --.NSIU Rrport.tr Assistant ~itor A S Maureen Jameson can anest, it's nol difficult finding a parking spot at 5:30 a.m. ncar Alumni Arena on the North Campus. Jameson, professor of French and interim chair of lh< Departmo:nl of Romanao Languages and Lil<ratw<S, begins her day six days a W<ek with a swim or practicr as a member swimmer.; fed that UB sho'!ld make a greater commitment to adult health and fitness, jameson asserts--starting with its own employees and studeqts. And, Jameson suggesiS, "It's fine to promote school spirit and promote the home team, but we can support other priorities as well. We shouldn't promo!< a culture of spectatorship--we should work instead towards a of the Nicktl City Splash Masten Swim Team, which meets three times a W<ek 10 practice for 311 hour and a hal( The team, whose 90 members range in age from 19 to 75, is madt• up of UB studeniS, faculty, staff and alumni, as well as other adults from Memben o f - Nickel City Spluh Maston the commu nity. Swtm Te• m meet three tlmfl• week to The team is recog- ~=:::::,:t~~:r~::~'..~C::::·.':"'n':s. nized by the United ~tes Masters Swimming (U'!iMS) and the USMS iagara District, and is affiliated with the UB women's swim team. Memb:ers compete in local, national and international swim1 meets. Described by Jameson as a social, tightly knit group, the team also hosts two meets a year, with most proceeds going to support UB's women's varsity athletes, and a portion going to support the pediatric dentistry clinic at Women's and Children's Hospital. New members are always welcome and can swim with the team on a trial basis before making a commitment. Thf' cost for member.;hip is $200 annually or $75 per semester. Former NCAA competitors coach the team. Maintaining a consistent practice time isn't always a sure bet, says Jameson. The competing needs of the university's varsity swim teams sometimes mean crowded workouts. This fall, the decision to reserve parking lots neai Alumni Arena for home football tailgate parties almost derailed weektnd practices. Dogged per.;istence has enabled the team to maintain a regular schedule, but many very culture of participation." According to Jameson, members of the swim team lead unwuaJJy adventurous Jives and few are spectators content to sit on a hard bench while others arc out on the field sweating and gelling banged up for entertainment's sake. The human -interest stories she shares about team members sound like Discavery Channel or "Sun<ivor" tales of people pushing themselves beyond natural limiiS because their lives or health were compromised by critieal illness or injury, and they refused to succumb to a life of inactivity. One team member Jameson speaks about is a 40-year-old wo"\an who joined the team after a brush with death due 10 kidney fail ure. "She was very critically ill when she received a lransplant. After a long rehabilitation, she made up her mind that she was going to be an athlete," Jameson says, noting that the woman went on to compete in the World Transplant Games. "Tht swimmers are gritty, determined people, and the coaches are tremendously supportive. There is a community .theft--people encourage each other-it's just tremendous," says . Jameson, who has been with the team since it started six years ago. .. I came back to swimming for exercise, but now it's such a huge pan of my life. The day isn't right if il doesn't stan with swimming," says Jameson, who often can be spotted riding a bikt 10 work. And, she pointed out, this is nor rtereational swimming. '"The rn~ f.o.a that UB refen 10 .-ything that isn't varsity athletics as 'recreation' is a way of making fitness secondary," Jameson maintains. She commends the work of Recreatjon and intramural Srrvices in th~ Division of Athletics. but urged th~t the university endorse a broader. campus-Wide fitness initiative. "We need to dedicate our facilities 10 the needs of aU athletes, whatever their age, and whether they're funded varsity oompetiton or not" She suggesiS adding bikt racks and designating bikt and walking paths, and outfitting one or two rooms in every campus building with stationary bikts or treadmills. The combination of superior medical education and research facilities, as well as athletic resources, makes UB an ideal place to lauflch a workplace fitness initiath•e, as many other universiries have doile, Jameson says. She cites a recent report on physical activity by the Center.; for Disease Control and Prevention that urged adults to engage in at least "light activity." "We had a lot of fun with that report," she says, noting that according to · the report, photocopying was considered '" light activity." ~How about a triathlon involving photocopying, faxing and stapling?" she jokts. UB can support the physical fitness of iiS studeniS, faculty and staff and to "go beyond photocopying," she says. A recent surveY found that students want a recreation facility separate from one used by var.;ity and club athletes, and are wining to pay for it. " VVe've heard· that President Simpson is an avid cycli51. _Maybe we'll per.;uade him 10 join the swim team as well," she says.

For more information see, http://dublincore.org/documents/dces/. Description An account of the resource The UB <em>Reporter</em> began publication on January 22, 1970, a time of tumult at the University. It succeeded the newsletter, <em>Colleague</em>, and to this day, serves as the official source for "in house," internal news. The first issue included an editorial, "Why The Reporter?" explaining the rationale for the newspaper: <br /><blockquote> <p>The feeling was that the University lacks a sense of community—that communication is too helter-skelter—that too many groups feel alienated, apart. Somehow, it was felt, if these groups—faculty, student and staff—could come together on the commons and share their concerns and ideas, their activities, their aspirations and whatever else they have to offer, community and communications would result…But it will not produce instant community. Each of us will have to work toward that goal.</p> </blockquote> <br />The Reporter ceased print production in May 2009 when it became an online only publication; in Spring 2016 it became a daily publication.  The Reporter was re-named UB Now in Spring 2016.

The clear picture that emerges is one of diversification, primarily into the biochemical, biomedical and bioengineering areas. Indeed, many "chemical engineering" departments have '/(" or are oonsidering changing thelt;' names to match the <fuoersification of their research and curricular portfolios. and rompatties like Dupont now hz,, research programs in the biological sciences that are oomparable to their activities in the chemical sciences.

A series of oonferences for chemical engineering department heads has taken place with the sole Objec!M of curricular refOrm in the bio area · What I• the focu• of chemical engineering? The su=ss of the chemical engineering profession lies in its fundamental approach to the anaJ}>is of '}'Sltm$ irM>Iving chemical reaction, separation and other processing. Olemical engineers long ago developed an approach wherein oomplex processes are described in terms of fundamcntal chemical process b_uilding blocks called unit oper.ttions. Armed with a sound understanding of the unit operations. one can usc them to describe and modd widely disparate chemical processes rnnging from the refining of crude oil to th< production of margarine. Additionally, chemical enginem apply these principles at every size scale, from atomic to globol How have changes In the' field affected the way chemical englneen are trained? ln any good chemiptl engineering department today, including ours, you will find research 1\eing conducted that ronges in scale from fullsized chemical plants to quantum chemical modeling at the molecular level. The chemical industry is maturing. and while~ need for these skills will persist, it is anticipated that more growth wiU ·occur in the biochemical and biomedical sectors. As new drug; are discovered, or artificial skin is perfected, or other biological breakthroughs are made, the methods of chemical engineering will be perfectly suited to the devdopment of processes for their commercial production, just as they were ideally suited to ,the devol opment of plastics and synthetic fertilizers during the past century. But there's much mor<. Just as chemicalengineering analysis proved vital to the understanding of compl<x organic and physical chemical systems, many expect that a quantitative, mathematical, chemical-mgin..ring approach ultimately will prove most effective for "systems biology"-the modeling and maRipulation of complex. biological systems, such as individual cells, tissues, organs and so on. How does this apply •pedflully to UB7 UB fuccs a strategic need to increase the amount of biological and biomedical activity taking place within SEAS. The university is adding tremendous and exciting capabilities in bioinformatics, drug design and discovery, etc. Sound and strong biological engineering is a necessary oomplement to these areas. It can contribute in numerous ways toward a deeper understanding. ·as well as in moving fundamental science to commen:ial reality. Our department already enjoys strong and fruitful collaboration in biorelated areas with several departments and center.; at liB, including some adjunct appointments. We owisiona~gnwn~ofthese kinds of interactions, and we would hope to additionally explore possibilities for jointly hiring fuculty with other dq>artments in relevant areas.

In a presentation at the Ame rican Heart Association meeting held recentJy in Orlando, senior author John M. Canty, )r., Albert & Elizabeth Rekate Professor of Medicine and director of UB's Center for Cardiovascular Research, described early findings from the center's investigations of sudden cardiac death based on a novel pig model of the condition. Earlier post-mortem studi<S had confirmed that persons who succumb to sudden cardiac death frequently don't have evidence of a healed or acute heart auack. UB researchers suspected that su~· bility to sudden death could a~ise\ from cellular remodeling resulting from chronic rep<.1.itive ischemia or angina, which, in its most advanced form, is called hibernating nl}'OC3rdium, and set out to inves· tigate the- hypothesis. In this condition. mym-ytes. cells in the heart's muscu.Jar tissue. shut down in areas subjected to reduced blood flow fiom narrowed arteri<S. This adaptation, a survival mech. an ism that allows the ctlls to remain viable and return to normal activity when normal blood flow is restoned, also creates rrgions of muscular tissue with differing electrophysiological properties existing side-by-side. This heterogeneity sets the stage for ventricular fibrillation, the researchers have shown. "Normal heart tissue existing in close proximitf to hibernating tissue causes a disruption in the electrical signals between cells necessary to maintain a steady heart rhythm." said Canty. "We've shown that this situation leads to tachycardia, or irregular heart contractions in the left ventricle, the major pumping chamber of the heart. If normal rhythm isn't restored within minutes, the heart goes into ventricular fibrillation and death is immediate." The UB group is one of the few capable of studying this phenomenon directly. The scientists developed the first chronic animal model of the condition by creating hibernating myocardium in pigs and equipping the animals with instruments that m~nitor the heart's cellular acti\•ities before and during a sudden cardiac death episode. By analyzing data recorded from ~ven SCD pigs and II survivors, all of whom had been instrumented to produce the same amount of coronary artery occlusion and hiberna1ing myocardium, the researchers were able to confirm that there was no evidence of heart attack in the SCD pigs, or that occlusion led to arrhythmias. "Advances in understanding of the mechanisms leading to sudden death have previously been limited by our inability to reproduce chronic coronary artery disea.se in an animal model." said Canty. "This work is the lim step in identifying the myocardial substrate that leads to electrical instability in the absence of a heart attack. The results are potentially ,..)evant to understanding why patients without prior symptoms can develop ventricular fibrillation." G~n Suzuki, postdoctoral research fellow in the research center, is first author on the study. James A. Fallavollita, associate professor of medicine, is a co-author. Th< research was supported by grants from the John ll Oishei Foundation, the Mae Stone Goode Trust, the American Heart Association, the National Heart, Lung and Blood Institute, and the Department of Veterans Affairs. Tackling the ~bo conundrum By LOIS BAKER Contributing Editor he demonizing of l.<lr· bohydrates and concern O\'t'r their potential role in disease has reached a li:n;r pitch. generating mass-medU d.1irn ~ .md counterclaims for nm• diet JpproJ\:h or another. The idea that all carbuhydratcs Jre ''bad" concerns Christine L. Pclkman, assistan t pr.:;fcssor of nutrition and a specialist in clinic;~! nutrition and metabolism. Pclkman analyzes tht· ca rbohydrate conundrum in a paper published in the December issue of Current Topics in Nutraceutical Research. "A couple of decades ago, we all were worried ·about f.us, and all fat s were 'bad,' .. said Pelkman. "But now we ki-10w that th.cre arc different kinds of fall)' acids, and that not all fats are 'bad.' In fact, some are 'good.' Now, in this decade, thinking that all carhnh)'drJtes are 'bad' wiU lead us down · the wrong palh.again. "\Vc ilecd to understand this macronutricnt bcuer and be more sophisticated in our analysis," she said ~ "Carbohydrates can't be stratified merely b)' structure as simple or complex, and we shouldn't think of foods high in carbo hyd rates as 'bad' and those low in carbohydrates as 'good.' The importance of carbuhydrates lies in what happens in the body after they are eaten." ln her article, Pellonan specifically addresses the concept of the g]ycemic index, a measure of how T quickly the carboh)'drates in a food will tum to sugar in the body, and c.xamines the evidence supporting it!'> mle in disea.'iC prevention. The gl~rc:emic index concept has grown in popularil}""'r"e':cntlv in both scicntifi.( circles and the generaJ popu--f\ l.mon, she noted. "" A maior point of her review is that basing a diet on J food 's glycc.."mic index can result in faultv ' and irrational choices. "For example, miy food with a glycemic index of 70 or abuve is (Onsidered 'high.' However. ":arrots hav< a glycemic ·index of 131. almost as high as pure glucose and much higher than white bread. Watermclon has a glycemk index of 72. placing it in the high category." A more telling number, .she. noted, may be a food's glycemic load: a measure of how quickly and strongly its carbohydrate content increases blood sugar and insulin levels. Both carrots and water- · melon have a very low g)ycemic load. 10 and 6 respect ively, and arc far more nutri tious than many foods with a lower glycemic index,, noted Pclkman. Glycemic load takes hoth type and amount of carbohydrates into consideration, making it a better measure when examining foods in the context of healthy diets, she said. What happens to a food conraining carbohydrates in the body is determined not only by its glycemic index and g]ycemic load, however. Factors that affect the body's glycemic response to a food-the amount of glucose and insulin produced-also include the type of carbuhydrate; the mix of carbohydrates in a food; cooking and processing methods; amount of fat, protein and fiber; presence of micronutrientS, such as flavinoids and trace minerals: the food's acidity, and an individual's genetic makeup. All of these components make pinpointing the dietary and health effects of carbohydrates a daunting challenge, Pelkman said. "Thereisnoonerecommendation that fits all." she said "We shouldn't promote a low-glyt:emk-indcx diet to the general public without cxreption,allhoughitisreasonableto adopt a diet "ith a linle )<SS carbohydrate, as low as 40 percent. "How many carbuhydrates and of what type you should consume depends on the individual health profile and the desired end result,.. she said. "If a person has elevated blood sugar and diabetes in their personal history, they may want to limit their diet to foods with a low glycemic index. But they still ne<d foods with micronutrients. "On thr otht!'r hand, high glycemia (high levels of sugar in the blood stream ) may not alway~ be bad, in athletes and growiqg children , for example. And maybe a constant low~glycemic · index diet will turn ou t to be damaging in the long term. These are thing~ we are just beginning to understand, and much more research is needed. "\.Ve always come back to the issue of balance in one's diet," Pelkman said. "No nutrient is always 'bad' or.always 'good.'"

A new book by a UB law professor attempts to make sense of the debate and forge a new era of understanding by examining the powerful cultural and poli tical implications of a force that is transforming the way we live and view the world . In '"City of Gold: An Apology for lobal Capitalism in a Time of Discontent," David A. Westbrook, associate professor in the law School, argues that "markets not nations" have become the dominant fom1 of global governance. And while the emerge~ce of globalization has cr<ated its own set of problems-including the fuct that people and govmunents bav. )"'! to fully grasp what it means to live in a "globalized• world-Westbrook says. globalization has achieved its primary goal: lt has suc=sfully stunted the emergence Qf aggressive. militarized nationali,om, as was practiced by Germany, France, Great Britain and the United States prior to World War ll. ln Westbrook's view. globalization is not a recent phenomenon, but rather is more than 50 years old, set in motion by political decis ions made in tht.• aftermath of World War ll. "Glob· alization was adopted for essen - tially political reasons because the nation-state-as exemplified most perfectly hy Hitler's Germany- had become simply too dangerous," he explairu. "Globalization limits the creation of this type of power by fragmenting institutions' and peoples' that transcend geographic borders. which limits the ability to cr<ate a focused military machine." The emergence of globalization, however, has outpaced our under- ways of looking at the world," he adds. "If we have a fragmen ted and such a "'orld, Westbrook says. overlapping set of affiliations, we can't-as we diQ. prior to World War ll-<reate.J.i world in which large militaries, large economies and large politically mobilized populations all meet at the Rhine." According to Westbrook, when 'economies are radically dependent on events in other parts of the world, and when 'people have con tacts across political and geographic linesthrough travel, marriage, work, etc.-it becomes difficult to build the militarized nation-states that gave rise to.Wo.rld War II. "'Prevention of future wars required suppression of nationalism," Westbrook writes in "City of Gold." "The vehicle fur such suppression was economic integration. So we in tegrated Eu rope and globalized much of the world. As a result, marketplace activity should be seen not as social relations that are opposed or a~cillary to politics. but as political activities in their own right." The concepts of .. nation building" proposed for Kosovo and Iraq are modem examples of how the process of globalization restricts the growth of militarized nationstates, Westbrook points out: "' By 'nation building' we don't mean creation of independent nations that are to go to war," he says.

We've had a difficult time thinking about what it means to live in a world in which we understand our political relationships to be market relationships. "This book addresses that problem," he oontinues. "It asks very traditional poUtical question.<. but does so in the context of market relations-in terms of the institu- tions. of money and propertyrather than the democratic relations among citizens that infonn most modern poUtical thought and social criticism.

The key advanmge of the new protein kinase inhibitors that Kinex is developing is that because of the unique binding site against which these compounds are targeted. there is a greatl y redu'ed chaz,ce that p:ni~nts will dt"vt·lop n.--sistance to these drugs-a problem that al~dy has n:nJered ineffeclive some of the fi~t mnrk~tcd protein kinase inhibitors.

"The t<Sult still will be cancei cells that cannot grow and spread to other parts of the body.'

For more information see, http://dublincore.org/documents/dces/. Description An account of the resource The UB <em>Reporter</em> began publication on January 22, 1970, a time of tumult at the University. It succeeded the newsletter, <em>Colleague</em>, and to this day, serves as the official source for "in house," internal news. The first issue included an editorial, "Why The Reporter?" explaining the rationale for the newspaper: <br /><blockquote> <p>The feeling was that the University lacks a sense of community—that communication is too helter-skelter—that too many groups feel alienated, apart. Somehow, it was felt, if these groups—faculty, student and staff—could come together on the commons and share their concerns and ideas, their activities, their aspirations and whatever else they have to offer, community and communications would result…But it will not produce instant community. Each of us will have to work toward that goal.</p> </blockquote> <br />The Reporter ceased print production in May 2009 when it became an online only publication; in Spring 2016 it became a daily publication.  The Reporter was re-named UB Now in Spring 2016.

Greiner dur· ing its monthly meeting yesterday with a resolution praising his nume rou s accomplishments during his 13-year tenure. Some of the achievements lauded by the senate indude the significant expansion of the campus with the construction of the Student Union, Center for the Ans, UB Stadium, Natural 5ciena:s and medi<al Scbool complexes, Math Building. creation of theCoUegeofAnsand 5ciencesand the emerg<nce of UB as a.globaliz<d public research univ=ity with high international student enroUment and a worldwide reputation forexa:llena:. The resolution also cited the re· cruitment and retention of diverse faculty. staff and students; a dedica· tion to the people and needsofWestem New York. and ensuring UB's fis. cal autonomy, as well as Greiner's tireless elforu on behalf of the uni · vcrsity at the state and federal level. The senate warmly greeted Greiner with a standing ovation upon his receiving a framed copy of the resolution. "Bill, we want to thank you for all you've done for the university and also for governance over the years-you've been very supportive of governance," said Peter NICkerson. professor of pathology arid chair of the FacuJty Senate, before reading the resolution aloud. '"I thank you, coUeagues, for do· ing this-i'm happy to tal« a little credit on your behalf," Greiner said of the faculty of the university. Greiner told senators that he will return to th~ same office in O'Brian Hall that he had 24 years ago, with the"same guy in the office next door. and he looks better than I do." In other business the seoale passed a resolution calling for suspension of system-wide assessment-an effon begun last summer when the SUNY Board of Trustees crafted a draft Memorandum of Understanding (MOU ) that sought to impose on all 64 campuses some mechanism by which to measure the learning outcomes of the entire SUNY system Campus·based assessment, which already is in place at all SUNY campuses, is considered a succt:SS by sysrcm administration . In a surprising turn of events., it appears SUNY faculty can enjoy at least a reprieve in the march toward system-wide assessment. lust yesterday, Nickerson rec<ived a copy of a resolution, passed by the Executive Committee of the SUNY-wide Faculty Senate reporting that a request that the trustees suspend the imple· menlationofits"June 17,2003 resolution on assessment in favor of continuing dialogue on this issue has been honored." .. It is quite unique to have the chanceUor agrf:f' to let us go fonvard with this process," said Nickerson of the discussions that can now take place across the 64 campuses on lhe issue of system-wide assessment " It looked as if there was going to be no give, no room for changes-it looks like the chanceUor is wiUing to listen." The senate also began preliminary HoHday Tradition Lauren Stelzer, a senior psychology major from Long Island, pain~ a snowman Tuesday as part of the Festival of Traditions being held in the Student Union.

The first MOU. signed in 2000. sets goals for the university in a variety of areas, such as admission selectivity; graduation rates; faculty development; diversity of faculty, staffand students, and assessment of general education. Greiner noted that UB had far surpassed all of the goals established in the first MOU. As possible areas of focus for the new MOU, Gayle Brazeau, associate dean for academic affairs for the 5chool of Pharmacy and Pharmace utical Sciences. and Mi chael Cohen , professor of neurology and pediatrics, challenged UB to con· sider its place in the community in the areas of bioinformatics, health care and social issues, and job development for new and emerging technologies. c.ll 64S-NEWS for doling lnfarmatlon Faculty, stoll, sti..d.nts md the public looking for ln{O<inotion obout the LIMnity's olllce hours and dOis KhecUes'*'ring ilclom- .,.-art ai 645-NEW5.

In addition, all students in the bioinformatics and computational biology major will be required to take a range of courses that provide exposure to areas considered the "building blodcs" ofbioinformatics, such as probability and statistics, computing; organic chemistry and molecular biology. " I~s a rigorous major designed so that students graduating from UB can easily enter any bioinformatics or computational biology graduate program in the country." said Pitman, noting that the program was designed with input from other local institutions. Typical entry-level jobs in bioinformatics or computa· tiona! oiology require a master's degree, Pitman explained, and many master's programs require some fundamental co~ in computing and biological science. ..Graduates of UB's program in bioinformatics will not ha~ to take those prerequisite courses," he ex· plained, "so this bachelor's degree will give students a leg up on some of their peers in graduate school because they will be able to skip sOme of the early courses."

Stephen C. Dunnett, vice provost for international education, and John M. Thomas. d ea n of the School of Management, signed the agreement with SIM in Singapore ~ar ti er thi s month . Joseph J. Hindrawan, assistant vice provost for international education, who had a major role in developing the program. aJso was in attendance. The SlM program will be comparable in all respects to the UB undergraduate program in business ad · ministration offered in Buffillo. Admission, course requirements, cw· riculum and instructional format, faculty qualifications and academic standards at SlM will be fully consistent with thOS< of the uniwrsity. Lead VB faculty will teach courses, as will SlM-appointed faculty. Dunnett said the Singapore pro· T gram will invol\-efuU· time instruction year-round .so that stu den~ can rom· plete their degrees in three, instead of four, yt:ars. The program ~ expected to attract studt.-nts from Singapon:and othcrcountric..>s in Southeast Asia who want to earn an American degree without moving to the U.S. Ronald Tan, chief executive offic~r and executive dirmor of SIM, said a unique fcatureoftheS IM·UBcur· riculum will be "the incorporation of Asian · business case studies to analyze problems, solutions and strategies common to the Asian business environment." UB has instituted measures to ensure that the academic standards and rigor of the program at SIM are equivalent to those of the pro · gram in Buffalo. "TI1e program will meet all the accreditation standards established for branch campuses by the Middle States Commission on Higher Edu· cation and the Association to Ad · vance CoUegiate Schools of Business (AACSB)," Dunnett said. Tan added that strict adherence to academic standards by both UB and SlM will ensure that "'our students receive the outstanding education they deserve." The School of Management has a longstanding relationship with SIM, having pannered with the Lnstitute sinCf' 1996 in offering the fin;t Execu· tive MBA Program in Singapore: al cred.ited b)' a U.S. university. The Singapore Institute of Manage· ment was founded in 196-4 as an m· depcndcnt.not-for-pro6t pmf<!SSIOnal membership organization that pan· ners with American. Australian and British universities to provide a rom prehensive range of qualificafion based and senior-exf'CU~ programs. More than 15,000 students are en roUed at the SIM, which offers 58 undergraduate and graduate programs. and more than 30 diploma , graduate diploma and certificate programs. Dunnett says the establishment of th e undergraduat e program in Southeast Asia satisfio o ne of US's . longtime aspirations and that Singapore is an ideal location. "We needed to find a local educational institution of sufficient size and sta~ with which to panner. and in SIM, UB has found an outstanding match," he says. Adds Tan: "This extension of the SlM/UB cnUaboration will enable more students, both from Singapore and the surrounding region , to benefit from the U.S.-stylecurriculum." \. 5 Trying to "ring" in the New Year G S•Uy didn ' t realize how quickly time was passing by until she saw the seco nds ticking away oo th~ Cou ntdown to New Year 2004 < http:// www.tfme•nddate.com/counten/newyeara.html > Web site.

Artists including musicians, poets, storytellers, dancers, actors, puppeteers and visual and media ai-tists contribute to the First Night experience. Jason decided that he wanted to attend; his only dilemma was to determine which of th~ almost 200 cities in the US, Canada or New Zealand to travel to. Perhaps h.is geographically minded cousin, Carla, could help advise him , Ja· son felt as he logged off and dialed her number .. ...

"Our goal was to giV< oncology health-care providers and cancer survivors accurate information upon which to ma.ke informed decisions ~ing nu- trition and physical activity during the cancer-survival continuumtreatment, recovery, preventing rrcurrence and/or living with advanced cancer." The society convened the 19membet panel to assess th• scimtific evidence and best clinical practices relating to nutrition and physical activity after a cancer diagnosis.

For more information see, http://dublincore.org/documents/dces/. Description An account of the resource The UB <em>Reporter</em> began publication on January 22, 1970, a time of tumult at the University. It succeeded the newsletter, <em>Colleague</em>, and to this day, serves as the official source for "in house," internal news. The first issue included an editorial, "Why The Reporter?" explaining the rationale for the newspaper: <br /><blockquote> <p>The feeling was that the University lacks a sense of community—that communication is too helter-skelter—that too many groups feel alienated, apart. Somehow, it was felt, if these groups—faculty, student and staff—could come together on the commons and share their concerns and ideas, their activities, their aspirations and whatever else they have to offer, community and communications would result…But it will not produce instant community. Each of us will have to work toward that goal.</p> </blockquote> <br />The Reporter ceased print production in May 2009 when it became an online only publication; in Spring 2016 it became a daily publication.  The Reporter was re-named UB Now in Spring 2016.

The center, to be called the Ira G. Ross Ey~ Institute in honor of Olmsted 's late husband, will consist of two sites: a free-standing complex at 1176 Main St. next to the Eliza. beth Pierce Olmsted, M.D., Center for the Y'ISually Impaired, within the Bulfalo Niagara Medical Campus (BNMC), an1 research facilities on the UB Soutli Campus. Plans for the institute were un veiled last week at 1176 Main St at the kidwff of a campaign to raise a total of S8 million. Renovation of the building is expected to begin in 2005, with the grand opening of the institute anticipated in 2006. Margam Paroski, M.D. '80, in· tcrim UB vice president for health affair> and interim dean of medical T school, lauded Olmsted for her gcn· crosity and foresight "Dr. Olmsted was a pioneer for womco in the medical school, and now she is a pioneer for women in philanthropy," said Paroski."A chal· lcngcgrant is innovative and creates synergy between the medical school and the community.

The goal of CUBS is to research tiona! ones, like the shape of the iris and hand geometry. Such a customized approach differs from the one now dominant in the 6cld. when! a single biometric tech· nology is rnarl«!cd fur a range of different applications, explained CUBS director Vcnu Govindaraju, professor of computer science and cnginccring. .. For many applications. the more customized a biometrics system is, the more powerful and accurate it will be," he said.

" In the Reporr~ previous study, parent ~ train· ing was not a part of the treauncnt and parenting issues were not even discussed. We're very hopeful that by including this element, an even stronger statement can be made for a new treatment method ... ""Tommy Thompson, U.S. secre· tary of health and human services, recently called for substance·abuse treatment program s to recognize and deal with the emotional and Contributor C LDREN raised by sub· ance-abusing parents ften manifest substan - al emotional, behavioral and social problems. Despite this, most parents who enter treatment for substance abuse are very reluc · tant to allow their children to be involved in treatment or therapy. To address the problem, researchers at UB's Resea rch Institute on Addictions (RIA ) are developing a hybrid treatment method that inco rporates training for parents, couples therapy and reduction of substance abuse. The project is be· ing funded by a $2.8 million grant from the National Institute on Drug Abuse to William Fals-Stewart, a senior research scientist at RIA and a research associate professor in the Department of Psychology in the CoUege of Arts and Sciences. Fals-Stewart said that 216 married or oo-habiting couples, comprised of substance·abusing fathers and nonsubstmct-abusing mothers with oneor!ll0l\!children,ages(}.l2~ will be =ruited for the study. The men will be entmngoutp;ttient treatment at oommWlity agencies fOr help with their drug problem. "We've just finished a study that showed when couples participate in behavioral couples therapy (BCT), their young children display higher psychosocial adjustment in the year after the parents' treatment," Fals-Stewart said, "than children whose parents received other forms of intervention." The positive effects of co upl e'~ treatment-including reduced sub· stance use, improved communica· tion and reduced partner violencr-:1ppear to lead to imprm'lment in the c hild~n·s behavior or functioning. "Our findings suggest that BCf has significant effects on the family that t.'Xtend beyond the co upl ~ to their children. even though thcchil · drcn were not actively involved in based treatment Some parents may have legal or social service issues; others may not want family issues aired in front of strangers. · In other cases and depending on thor age, children may refuse to participate; providers may not be prepared to deal with child-related issues, evening hours for family appointments can be limited or unavailable, and billing for these S<rvices can be problematic for agen· cies with funding concerns. Fals-Stewart's approach would allow child-related issues to be addres.sM in treatment, without re· quiring the presence of the child. As a new treatment targeted at substance-ab usi ng patients and their children, this inte""'"tion has the potential for broad and prolonged effects that extend beyond the patients seeking treatment for substmce abuse to the children un der their care. Such interventions represent an attempt to address a chronic public-health ooncem. The intervention may prove effective with parents, their high-risk children as they enter adolescmce and early adulthood, their children's children and society in general.

"It is this aspect of the affirmative action concept which ts most troubtesom~ to many members of the academy. The concept seems tD efevate characteristics which may appear unrelated to merit. e.g., race, ethnkity and gender, to the ~ of criteria by which choices are made or influenced in the appointment process. In other words, affirmative action, unlike equal opportunity, seems to run counter to the merttocratic values of the academy. If that be true, then what Is the defense for :~;m:S~~ ::a:~ aa:o~y7 There are, I think. signtficant benefits that acaue to this institution -..e..,. \ "The first of these benefits relate> to the fact tha~ as a public institution, ..., must, and gladly do, serve a student Dody which is broadly ~tative al the society in terms of race, elhnlcity and gender, among other characteristics. It is argued, and I believe validly so, that students from undem!presented groups need and deserve good ft!1e ~ from lheir 0\"11 groups OmotlQ the laculty and staff who serve them. lt Is argued as welllhlt the presence of such role models enhances the total intellectual and penonal go:owlh of these students, and lhus conlributes to the educalional fTiis. sion of the uni-msity. I bolieYo this "'9U'"""t Is valid, but k has been su!Od rn<><e lolly and effectively by ' othen, so I win not pursue It further. "A second reason for affirmative action is that persons from underrepresented groups bring a special perspective to scholarship, teaching and creative activity. There is a feminist. an AfricanAmerican, a Hispanic perspective, etc., whkh inform scholarship, particularly in the humanities, social sciences and arts. If we lose these perspectives, our students will be educate<:t in ways whkh do not adequately reflect the full range of human intellect·and vision. I hnd this argument valid and believe that it is an especially important reason for affirmative action appointments. • Finally, what is for me the most important argument for affirmative action in the academy derives from the social, culturtt) and historical milieu of American higher education. As enlightened and liberated as we are in thi~nivet:sity, we are nevertheless a product of our society. tess than 30 years ago, that society countenanced tk jun segregation of the races and de facto segregation still exists. Less than SO years ago, blacks, }ews, Asians, other minorities and women had limited or no · access to prestigious universities and colleges, and this situation still persists in many signifJCant institution! outside the academy. Less than 70 years ago, women were denied the vote in this counuy and fuH equality for women is yet to beach-. In sum, we are not very far removed from 11 time when our larger society was not committed even to the concept of equal opportunity. In the academy, we have moved very dose to full adoption. of that ideal, but I believe that we must work assiduously to overcome any ~dual, perhaps not conscious, effects our national history may still have on our judgments regarding appoint· ments. Affirmative action-thaUs, the commitment to go an extra step, to gtve special consideration to the factors of race, ethnidty and gender-helps to assure that in our appointmerit actions we will wort<. very hard and consciously to overcome any lingering effects our history may still impose on our otherwise enlightened and meritocratic judgments.• We have had considerable success at UB in developing and maintaining a racially and ethnically diverse population of students, faculty and staff, and this success has unquestionably enhanced the learning envi. ronment of our university. HoWever, we can and must do more to secure a campus climate that iS supportive and accepting for each and every member of our community. With this imperative in mind. UB moves forward In the 21st century as an Institution rich In diversity and in equity for all, but with the knowledge that together we must actively uphold our university's lasting commitment to affirmative action.

The program is one of only two offered in Western New York. .. The psychiatric/ mental health nurse practitioner is one of the fastest growing professions within the mental·health care system,.. said Eris Pe.rese, clinical associate professor in the nursing school. .. This is due to several factors: an increase: in the incidence of mental illnesses such as depression, an increase in the number of people living lo,!l&er and an insufficient number of physicians entering the field of psychiatry. .. Psychiatrists primarily provide care in private-practice settings or in teaching hospitals or institutions," Perese added. "Therr are not enough of them to meet the growing need for community·based, mental-health care provided in cliniQ. schools, day treatment centers, forensic ~tings and rehabilitation programs." UB now offers a post-master•s psychiatric nurse practitioner cer tificate program for nurses who already hold a master's degree as dinica1 specialist in psychiatric nursing. The new master's-degree pw gram will accept nurses without a master's d~ree in psy~hiatric nun; ing and prepare them to practice as psychiatric nurY. practitione1 Wh ile a bachelor's degree in nursing is required for admission t the master's program, the specialty also is offered as a BS/MS pre gra m for rc..-gistered nurses wi th a diploma or an associatc).d~ret. �Research links gray matter damage In brains of MS patients to cognitive, physical deficits TIUlNSITIONS Moving In - . - . fn>mt-*~ ............,.,_..""!'fr*r,W- ,...._.,._ holo CorllpMr GropNa. to pro- SeMce.

"\Ve believe success in this area depends on being able to combine a.nd 'tune' technologies to different appli cations by using contextual knowl- edge about how the datll will be used," said Govindaraju. "The technology for these applications exists. Now it's a question of figuring out how to build the best devices." Scientists at CUBS also will develop new methods for the acquisition of biornetnc data, ao; we:U as its processing and interpn.1ation--effons that lLo;uall)• a~ not explored togcthcr.

Part of the rationale for these new areas is that, according to the center's founders, many of the biometrics systems that now are available do not perform AS weUas they should. .. Unfo rtun ately, many of these systems haY< a ""'Y high false-positive rate, which is either of no use or could be detrimental and even dan gerous," said Govindaraju.

For more information see, http://dublincore.org/documents/dces/. Description An account of the resource The UB <em>Reporter</em> began publication on January 22, 1970, a time of tumult at the University. It succeeded the newsletter, <em>Colleague</em>, and to this day, serves as the official source for "in house," internal news. The first issue included an editorial, "Why The Reporter?" explaining the rationale for the newspaper: <br /><blockquote> <p>The feeling was that the University lacks a sense of community—that communication is too helter-skelter—that too many groups feel alienated, apart. Somehow, it was felt, if these groups—faculty, student and staff—could come together on the commons and share their concerns and ideas, their activities, their aspirations and whatever else they have to offer, community and communications would result…But it will not produce instant community. Each of us will have to work toward that goal.</p> </blockquote> <br />The Reporter ceased print production in May 2009 when it became an online only publication; in Spring 2016 it became a daily publication.  The Reporter was re-named UB Now in Spring 2016.

Tempert ran high at a recent University Faculty Senate (UFS) ~g in Oswq;o regarding a SUNY trust«: drnlt memorandum of Ulldemanding (MOU) calling for system-wide..,..,.._ ment (also called value-added assessment), William Baumer, prof=r of philosophy and UFssenator,reported ~Tuesday's monthly senate ~g. Baumer is asking UB senators to support a UFS resolution calling for suspension of trustee action regarding system-wide assessment. Senators will vote on the resolution , prfsented on Tuesday for a first react ing, at their next meeting on Dec. 2. While the resolution elicited little debate among senators on Tuesday, discw.sion at an earlier FSEC meet ing made it clear that the draft MOU has litde wpport at UB. According to Ba.umer and senate Chair Peter Nickerson, professor of pathology who also serves as a UFS senator, the draft MOU was poorly planned out and dropped witho!.M warning on the UFS at a June meeting. The final draft of the MOU was rejected by the UFS at the Oswego meeting. "They forgot to take the skunk off the football before they tried to run with it,n Baumer said of the MOU. Not only are faculty mem bers across SUNY angry about the proposal, Baumer noted that the way i.n which it was pre5ented to the UFS has damaged relations between trustees and senators. M "We had no warning the MOU would even be on the agenda in June. It was tossed in at the last minute," said Nickerson. Both Nickerson and Baumer said the UFS is in favor Of continued, systemwide discussion on the issue. "The UFS has repeatedly gone on record supponing campus-based assessment, but not syStem-wide assessment," said Baumer. ln fact, SUNY-wide, campus-based assessment efforts have garnered high praise from Peter D. Satins, SUNY provost and vice chancellor for academic affairs. Although a supporter of system~wide assessment, sa.J.ins has praised the campus-based initiatives as a "huge success" and ..a remarkable accomplishment," according to the UFS resolution. The draft MOU descrtbes valueadded assessm<nt of gen<ral education as "an attempt to determine the growth in learning achieved by undergraduates in the building blocks of general edu"!tion that are prerequisites to further, advanced study." SUNY value-added assessment periodically would assess, using common measures. a representative sample of students from across SUNY in order to gauge students' attainment of the learning outcomes in mathematics. basic communication, critical think~ (reasoning), information man agement and the undemanding of the methods scientists and social scientists use to explore phenomena.

Testa noted that "when companed to other groups, female adolescents are at higher risk of STD infection I. and sexual assault Alcohol, particu· larly binge drinking. is implicated in many sexual incidents involving young women, and we beli~ that new methods of intervention and prevention are necessary." She said her study will develop and test a prevention program designed to reduce young women's vulnerability to alcohol-related sexual assault and HIV/STD infection. The innovative intervention method wiU involve development of ed ucatio nal material for parents about adolescent alcohol use and its negative consequences, and then enlist parents to communicate this information to their teen-agers. Two versions of the intervention wiU be compared: one that focuses solely on adolescent alrohol use and another that addresses issues of partner selection and sexual assertiv<ness, as well as alcohol use. Six hundred female students and their mothers will be recruited during the summer before the daugb· ters enter college. R<searchers will assess their success by examining drinking beha'l"ior, drinking-related co~uences, sexual behavior and negative sexual ou tcomes (i.e .• sexual assault and STD infection ) reported by female students during their first year of college.

The Online Book Exchange and SA Online Teacher Evaluations are two of the most popular services students can usc everyday. The book exchange is set up similar to eBay.

Baumer explained that some of the concerns of UFS members are who is actually going to pay for assessment, what instruments/methodology will be used for measuring the success of students, what kinds of penalties studenrs or institutions will incur iflearninggoalsaren't met and whether or not the information will be made public. He added that while at first glance system-wide assessmen t looks like an anractive thing to do because faculty are in favor of as.sessment and want students to learn, the vast diversity of campuses and students on SUNY campuses is one reason Why "one- size ~5 all approach" system-wide assessment wouldn't work CUNY schools are doing system· wide assessmen t, yet faculty in that system claim that tests are driving content and curriculum, and are not telling them much, to the tune of about S I million a year, said Baumer. .. In brief,systcrn·wideassessment is viewed as having extensivt and serious problems. significant costs and damages, and at best, dubious benefits," Baumer noted.

The model she is de>doping differs from more conventional epid~ ­ miological mbdels by taking into account characteristics and behaviors of individuals, the relationships between them and with their environments, and how those interactions change over time and space.

This use of multiple points of contact lOran individual allows for a realistic reprtSentation of how an infection might spread through a community based on the numbers of people with whom an individual regularly interacts both at home and at work. Sian's simulation also ~mploys object-oriented computing, which allows the model to focus on indi viduals in a population rather than the population as a whole. Therefore, she explained, it IS capable of representing the variability of the spread of an illness through out a community. based on specific •Htributes of individ uals. such Js their age and susceptibility to infection, daily travel routine and people with whom th~ome into contact. ln addition, she said, th< pattern of an infection may spread very differently in different communities, based on specific demographic features. For example, Bian explained, in a more rural suburb of Buffalo, building lots are large so neighbors may . interact less than they do in denser suburbs, where lots are small and children from different families play together in a small area. Bian's simulation assumes that most people have a moderate number ofsocial connections, while other mod~ls often assum~ a "'global mix"-thatewryonrinth~rommu ­ nity has oontact with on~ another.

However, she noted, living arrang~ments also differ within communities such as retirement homes. where there may be' fewer o utsid~ contacts than a family of four. and coUege dormitories, where individuals may have more outsid~ contacts.

Description An account of the resource The UB <em>Reporter</em> began publication on January 22, 1970, a time of tumult at the University. It succeeded the newsletter, <em>Colleague</em>, and to this day, serves as the official source for "in house," internal news. The first issue included an editorial, "Why The Reporter?" explaining the rationale for the newspaper: <br /><blockquote> <p>The feeling was that the University lacks a sense of community—that communication is too helter-skelter—that too many groups feel alienated, apart. Somehow, it was felt, if these groups—faculty, student and staff—could come together on the commons and share their concerns and ideas, their activities, their aspirations and whatever else they have to offer, community and communications would result…But it will not produce instant community. Each of us will have to work toward that goal.</p> </blockquote> <br />The Reporter ceased print production in May 2009 when it became an online only publication; in Spring 2016 it became a daily publication.  The Reporter was re-named UB Now in Spring 2016.

Simpson, currently executive vice chancellor and provost of the Univerllity of California, Santa Cruz, is expected to be named president by the SUNY Board of Trustees at its meeting on Tuesday. Prior to receiving King's endorsement, he won unanimous endorsements from the UB presidential search advisory committee and the 'usCouncil. He would take office on Jan. I. "John Simpson impressed the members of the search committee, the UB Council and SUNY leadership with his qualifications.. as well as his life-long commitment to public higher education." said Jeremy M. Ja~ cluir of the UB Council and the pr<Sidential search advisory committee, and cluirman and CEO of Delaware North Companies. "He is higbly regarded and I am confident he will be able to lead this yniversity to even greater aa:omplishnlents and recognition in the future." King also expressed confidence in Simpson's leadership qualities. "He J will. I predict, be a great leader, not only on campus. but in this community and I belie••' across ourstatt. He understands that this campus. this uniwrsity is not an isolated ivory tower, but an integral, active pan of Buffalo's cultural, intellectual and eronomic future," the chancellor said. President William R. Greiner said that with Simpson, UB was "blessed to haoe a superbly qualified and really, really nice guy rome on board to be the president of this institution." "How do you persuade a guy with John's track record to leaYe that plaa in the middle of the redwoQd forest and rome to UB?" Greiner asked.

Construction on the new fiberoptic line will begin within the nexo few w<cks. The data line is expected to be complete and operational by the end of this year, according to Valdemar A. lnnus. vice president and chief information officer. The cable will be installed in the Niagara Frontier Transportation Authority Metro Rail tunnel and in above-ground and underground locations approved by the City of BuffaJo to reach the Hauptman ~ Woodward Medical Research lnsti· tute (HWl ), RosweU Park Cancer TI Institute, UB's Research lnstitute on Addictions and the Center of Excellena in Biolnfonnatics., both at its current location at 90 I Washington St. and the new building that will house the center being construCted at Ellicott and VIrginia streets on the Buffalo Niagara Medical Campus. TheBioinfunnatiaNetworklnitia· tiYe, (BNI) as the effort is called, will allow fur a !,()()().fold increase in the speed with which massive amounts of research data are transmitted berween UB and the downtown locations.

"By building our own fibtr infrastructure, we will have accc:ss to nearly unlimited capacity in those pipes." For example, it now takes about six hourli for UB research= at HWl to send massive datasets containing information about the structures of proteins to their rollaboratorli at the University of Toronto. • tf you want to send several batches of~ per day, and it taka six ho= per batch, then your system is tied up aU day," said E.

The book examines the econom ic condit io ns and labor history in both the U.S. and Canada during the 1970s and early 1980s. tracing the way in which these global movemen t·s impacted local communities, governments and unio ns. He details individual and collective responses to faclory shutdowns in the heartland that led to the devastation of neighborhoods· and the shifting of national economies, as well as provocative union and government activ ities on both sides of the border. A native of British Columbia, High grew up in Thunder Bay, Ontario, where his father was a railroad worker and his mother a schoolteacher. By the time he reached his teens, he had become a · tive in the New Democratic Party (NDP}, working his \ll'ilf up the ranks to become national vice president of the NDP·Canada from 1990-91. He earned a doctor.ol degree at the University of Ottawa. �41 Reporir;llll October 23. 2003/Vol.3~ lo. 9 Presidential candidate shares his vision for UB and his passion for public higher education A conversation with John Barclay Simpson He wasn't looking to become a college president. But the opportunity to lead a university that is a member of the prestigious Associatio n of American Universities (AAU) made the UB job one that John B. Simpson found hard to pass up. Following PridayJs press conference, Simpson spent §orne time with members of the campus media-the Reporter, thf Spectrum and WBFO 66.7 FM. An excerpt from that interview follows.

One of the · .things I did with the money that came into the university to pay for enhanced enrollments was that I set aside a number of faculty potitions and basically. eated my own hiring initiativt as a provost-what we called the Campus Curriculum Initiativeand I made the positions available to academic dep,artments if they put forward competitive propos al ~bat explained how, in terms of diversifying the curriculum, they were going to use this position. We achieved, I think, a substantial amount Of divenification of the curriculum to what is a remarkable, diverse and polyglot population of ~tudents that are the stUdents of California. In Ca.Hfornia, there's no ethnic majority any more and the university is lagging behind in that , among other things. • Q : You hno two chlldron7 th e so rts of activities we have to engage in . Q: What's your \ lslon for UB7 1 A: It 's to make 'ft without ques- tion th e very best public research university in the Northeast. It may well already be th at, but I want th e[e to be no ambiguit y about tha t, no question whatso ever. It 's somethi ng that I'm sure can be done. Q : UB 's athletics programs- both basketball and foot ~ ball-are struggling at the Division I level. Are you committed to athletics? Do you see It as a vital part of university life? A: Personall)'• I love college ath ll't ics. For most o ( my life. I worked at a university that had a huge ath ~ letics program-the University of Washington-and I enjoyed it. I stiJI go back every year with my father to the Washington -Cal foot ball game and we bet money and he always loses because he bets on Cal. Having said that , that's an ex· pression of my personal interest and enjoyment. I don't understand and know the kind of athl etics program that exists at UB. I don't understand it budgetarily; I don't understand what it m~a n s to the ca mpu s, to the alumni, to th e town. It's one of the sorts of things I'm going to have to learn about when I'm here. ~ .,thletlcs an asMt t9 't unlve,slty7 Q; A: Yes, I believe th at. that's a v~ry so und str-ategy for a university.

This has happened like that (snaps hi s fingers) C ruz ch ancellor) and I have changed the culture there from a small, isobted, liberal arts college into a modern research university that still acknowledges and bonors its roots, particularly with re -. spect to treating undergraduate education as something very special while at the same time pushing the kind of research agenda that a University of California camp us must do.

Trt'Visan noted that UB's significant st:rmgths in computer science, particularly in applications to lifesciences problems. position the uni versityasa leadtt in trus• nttt wave" of medical research.

"Most recendy, genetic studies in cardiovascUlar disease Ill= focused primarily on single genetic. varia· lions, but to dale these Ill= not b«n ve r y succdsful," he explained . "That's because if's not just a single gen~c variation that causes the disease, but rather multiple genetic causes that interact with the envi- . ronmcnt and with other individual characteristics. That's where it becomes =lly complex and nobody has found yrt a ""'Y efficient way to do this. But if we want to explore the contribution of genes and indi- vidual characteristics to the burden of disease in the population, this is what we need to do." UB brings lo t~ese emerging problems a special breadth of expertise because of its schools of medicine, engineering, p~armacy and public health , noted Jaylan S. 1\ulckan, vice president for research. "On a national ~. the applica- tion of computational tools to solve biological and medical p.roblems has b«n a top priority with the federal agencies." she said.

The finding goes a long way toward solving a puzzle thar has perplexed chemists 1Uld regulators for a d<cade. since a Danish company, Rockwool Corp., developed RlF (liT}, which is =r strong. but does not penist in the lungs. "That disco'JU)' thRw the regulatory world into a tizzy." said Baier. A number of scientific groups b<gan to investigate the phenomenon. Membcn ofTC26, the international industry committee that oversees research and development into glass fibers, requested that Baier and his ooUeagues embark on ~al studies to 1ry to understand the chemical mechanism. "They told us, 'You know how foreign malerials interact with the body, we want you tostudythis"inadvmenl implanl"andhelp us undemand T HE tradeoff in fib<rglass insulation products has always been between strength and safety: making glass fibcn stronger for the harshest applications by adding aluminum oxide to them al5o increases the risk that they will cause lung cancer when inhaled. But at a recent meeting of the American Chemical Society, biomatcrials and biophotonics researchers at UB reported on the surprising chemical mechanism behind one type of fib<rglass fortified with aluminum oxide that does not persist in the lungs. The UB resean:hcrs have found that once this glass fiber, known as RIF (liT}, is inhaled, its long. strong, glass fib<rs are broken down in1o smaller pieces outside of cells, apparendy through the same mechanism that the body uses to break down old bone. The smalJer pieces, they found. then are safdy ingested and digested by cells. ..

Gdtl notes that it works both ways-the Univmity Heights neighborhood servtS as a laboratory for a variety of.invmtive university teach ing programs, like the studio itself, and UB's programs in business management, ed ucation, social work, medicine, nursing and arts and sciences rould benefit from being more invol..d in the neighborhOod.

One move in this direction is an off-campus st.udio field office dedicated to this project at 3268Main St, a commercial strip across the street from Hayes HaU, which houses the School of Architecture and Planning. Right now, gtaphic representations of the neighborhood 's ethnic, racial and cultu ral diversity are displayed on the waUs and in the win· dows of the office, but as the time goes on, these will be replaced with graphic presentations about the developing project. "'We wanted to let our neighbors know that we have a studio that fo· cused on our neighborhood ," Gehl says... and that it is open to anyone who wants to drop in. The field office soon will have regular hours posted to encourage impromptu visits by neighbors and passers-by to talk about what's going on."

For more information see, http://dublincore.org/documents/dces/. Description An account of the resource The UB <em>Reporter</em> began publication on January 22, 1970, a time of tumult at the University. It succeeded the newsletter, <em>Colleague</em>, and to this day, serves as the official source for "in house," internal news. The first issue included an editorial, "Why The Reporter?" explaining the rationale for the newspaper: <br /><blockquote> <p>The feeling was that the University lacks a sense of community—that communication is too helter-skelter—that too many groups feel alienated, apart. Somehow, it was felt, if these groups—faculty, student and staff—could come together on the commons and share their concerns and ideas, their activities, their aspirations and whatever else they have to offer, community and communications would result…But it will not produce instant community. Each of us will have to work toward that goal.</p> </blockquote> <br />The Reporter ceased print production in May 2009 when it became an online only publication; in Spring 2016 it became a daily publication.  The Reporter was re-named UB Now in Spring 2016.

Cardiac death suit in rhythmic chaos, making the heart vulnerable to fatal arrhythmias. "Although mudl previous research has focused on the role of scarring foUowinga heart attack as the underlying factor leading to the arrhythmias responsible for sudden death,"saidCanty,"wethinkthatthe areas that are viable and hibernating may acrually be a greater risk factor." The researchers h ave circum - vented the problem of having few human survivors to study by creat ing lhe hibernating myocardium phenomenon in the first animal model-a pig-for the disease, and implanting a defibrillator si milar to that used in patients with adva nced heart disease.

Although there will be about as many Republicans as Democrats registered to vote next year, President Bush's status as the incumbent may be the difference, says james E. Ca mpbell, professor of political scienct and author of "The American Campaign: U.S. Presidential Campaigns and the National Vote.• In the 20th century only one president-)irqmy Carter-lost a bid for . reelection after his party had been in office for just. one term, Campbell says. "Incumbents do lose elections from time to time, but it's extremely uncommon for an incumbent whose party has been in office for oRly one term to lose," be notes. George Bush, the elder, lost the presidency after one tenn in office, but fellow Republican Ronald Rtagan had been in office for two terms prior to Bus!>'s presidency, he points out Strong party unity typically is the most important factor in the reelection success of the one-tenn president, Campbell says. In contrast, party dissention historically has spelled doom for candidates whose party is trying to regain the White House after being out of office for C onetem1. "The party in office usually doesn't start taking its power for granted umil it's been in office for two terms," Campbell explains...After eight )>ears in power, you begin to see more infighting and the party begins to splinter. indicate that there is room for a lib"On the other band, the party out eral-antrist in the mix, but it aloo of office usually doesn't circle th< maysignalbowftuidthingsareinthe wagons and pull together until after .

For more information see, http://dublincore.org/documents/dces/. Description An account of the resource The UB <em>Reporter</em> began publication on January 22, 1970, a time of tumult at the University. It succeeded the newsletter, <em>Colleague</em>, and to this day, serves as the official source for "in house," internal news. The first issue included an editorial, "Why The Reporter?" explaining the rationale for the newspaper: <br /><blockquote> <p>The feeling was that the University lacks a sense of community—that communication is too helter-skelter—that too many groups feel alienated, apart. Somehow, it was felt, if these groups—faculty, student and staff—could come together on the commons and share their concerns and ideas, their activities, their aspirations and whatever else they have to offer, community and communications would result…But it will not produce instant community. Each of us will have to work toward that goal.</p> </blockquote> <br />The Reporter ceased print production in May 2009 when it became an online only publication; in Spring 2016 it became a daily publication.  The Reporter was re-named UB Now in Spring 2016.

Software to aid virtual cloning By EI.UH GOLDBAUM Contributing Editor W HILE molecular biologists exploit state-of· thc-art scientific equipment to discover the secrets of life and disease in the post·gcnomic era, they rom - plain often that the software tools available to support these profound efforts are woefully inadequate. A new software package under deYl'~t byVrrmatia,ll.C.,aspin­ off OOu>~otffiOO?iarcher.; at VB ~nd the Haup an-Wood ward Medical Research ·tute, is about to change that radically, providing molecular biologists with the tools they need to design successful experiments, potentially boosting the pace of new drug discoveries. " It's the difference between using a typew.riter and a word processor," said Jeremy Bruenn, professor in the Department of Biological Sciences in the College of Arts 'and Sciences, comparing the software that he and Yangzhou Wang are developing to packages that now are availab le. Wang is a research scientist at the Hauptman-Woodward Medical Research Institute and research assistant professor of structural biology at UB. Called The Virtual Ooning Suite, Virmatics' new software is designed to allow scientists to plan carefully their cloning experiments using a romputer first, boosting the chances that their bench-top experiments will be a sucass. A beta version of the softwart is expected to be ready t his fall; a patent application has been filed. "Think about this: What has word-processing done?" asked Bruenn. " It 's made life much easier, people c~ create faster. ln the same way, for molecular biologists who have good, creative ideas, The Vir ~ tual Cloning Suite will make their lives much more productive." Every molecular biologist in the world.is a potential customer for the software,sa.id Bruenn, who has been discussing it with peers at other in stitutions and in the private sector. .. When I tell them what our soft ware can do, they salivate," he said. While the need fo~ improved mo- lecular biology software is not new, Bruenn said that development of such products has taken on new ur· gency in the post-genomic era. "Now that genomes have been se· quenced, it's critical to find an au - tomated way to plan cloning experiment s," he noted. "Suppose you low scientists to generate optimal virtuaJ clones for the experiments they plan to perform. A virtual clone, Bruenn explained, is a computer-generated assembly of DNA sequences that the scientist de; signs according to Specific criteria based on the experiment that is be- ing planned. In the lab, the actual DNA sequence then is inserted into a vector, a self-replicating DNA molecule that can be introduced into appropriate cells for propagation, and is selected based on the type of experiment. "A judicious choice of VectOr and method of insertion is required to achieve the desired result:' Bruennsaid He noted that most current software packages either don't have da tabases of vectors or the databases are incomplete and not annotated. want to clone and express every pro- " How do you find the optimal tein gene in the humaO genome. system for your experiment?" asked Bruenn. "We are building into o w software su fficient knowledge to give scientists some guidance. to gjve Manually designing 60,000 primer.; would be truly unpleasant." Currently, most biologists don't bother to use software to plan their cloning experiments. Bruenn said, because e,Xisting products are not very convenient. "Many programs are very poor at doing what molecular biologist.< do on a daily basis," he said. According to Bruenn, using one software package that is available commercially to create a virtual done~ 45 steps and 45 minutes. "Our program will take seven steps and do it in less than rwo min- utes,"hesaid:"And we11 have r<eords of how we did it so wt don't have to start all over nat time we want to do the same thing."

This campaign has been a focal point of the lasl seven of my 13 rears here. At the time of its public kickoff in October 2(X)(), I was confident that we at UBcould achieve our goaJ of$150 million in our first comprehensive campaign.

This is UB's largest campaign ever and surpassed all expecta· tions. despite having to do so in a down economy for the majority of the campaign's sevenyear timetine. I think there's just something extraordinary about UB that is chenshed and pas..o;ed on from one generation to another. And so as I celebrate the success of this outstanding campaign with you, I can )ee that much more than money has been raised. Pursuing common goals has gah'allized our UB commu· nary.

Th< result is that students with aMW-F class schedule ha,., 2,230 classroom rontaa minutes. whidl is less than th< SUNY and stare Department of Eduattion-mandared 2,250 min utes. Students on aT-Th schedule have 2.500 minutes of classroom contact hours. rather-more than needed. Thus, there is 10 pero:nt more class time fur th< samecour>e scheduled on T-Th than fur lhooe scheduled on MW-F. There i< no plausible pedaaogical objeaiveserved by sum discrepancies. The solution is to follow a Monday schedule on the Tuesday of Thanksgiving week. There then would b< 2,280 classroom contact minutes for those on a M-W-F schedule, which merts the requirem<nts; the T-Th nurnb<r of contact minutes wouJd still be rather more-2,420. This results from 3•50 bring less than 2'80. (Set> other letter). This has the further advantage that stuck:nts who don't have a M W-F schedule can leave without missing any class the Friday before Thanksgiving week, and stud<nts with a M-W-F schedule stay for two days of classes, rather than just one Monday class that they rend to skip.

Porterfiefd, � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections. For more information see, http://dublincore.org/documents/dces/. Description An account of the resource The UB <em>Reporter</em> began publication on January 22, 1970, a time of tumult at the University. It succeeded the newsletter, <em>Colleague</em>, and to this day, serves as the official source for "in house," internal news. The first issue included an editorial, "Why The Reporter?" explaining the rationale for the newspaper: <br /><blockquote> <p>The feeling was that the University lacks a sense of community—that communication is too helter-skelter—that too many groups feel alienated, apart. Somehow, it was felt, if these groups—faculty, student and staff—could come together on the commons and share their concerns and ideas, their activities, their aspirations and whatever else they have to offer, community and communications would result…But it will not produce instant community. Each of us will have to work toward that goal.</p> </blockquote> <br />The Reporter ceased print production in May 2009 when it became an online only publication; in Spring 2016 it became a daily publication.  The Reporter was re-named UB Now in Spring 2016.

Description An account of the resource The UB <em>Reporter</em> began publication on January 22, 1970, a time of tumult at the University. It succeeded the newsletter, <em>Colleague</em>, and to this day, serves as the official source for "in house," internal news. The first issue included an editorial, "Why The Reporter?" explaining the rationale for the newspaper: <br /><blockquote> <p>The feeling was that the University lacks a sense of community—that communication is too helter-skelter—that too many groups feel alienated, apart. Somehow, it was felt, if these groups—faculty, student and staff—could come together on the commons and share their concerns and ideas, their activities, their aspirations and whatever else they have to offer, community and communications would result…But it will not produce instant community. Each of us will have to work toward that goal.</p> </blockquote> <br />The Reporter ceased print production in May 2009 when it became an online only publication; in Spring 2016 it became a daily publication.  The Reporter was re-named UB Now in Spring 2016.

Description An account of the resource The UB <em>Reporter</em> began publication on January 22, 1970, a time of tumult at the University. It succeeded the newsletter, <em>Colleague</em>, and to this day, serves as the official source for "in house," internal news. The first issue included an editorial, "Why The Reporter?" explaining the rationale for the newspaper: <br /><blockquote> <p>The feeling was that the University lacks a sense of community—that communication is too helter-skelter—that too many groups feel alienated, apart. Somehow, it was felt, if these groups—faculty, student and staff—could come together on the commons and share their concerns and ideas, their activities, their aspirations and whatever else they have to offer, community and communications would result…But it will not produce instant community. Each of us will have to work toward that goal.</p> </blockquote> <br />The Reporter ceased print production in May 2009 when it became an online only publication; in Spring 2016 it became a daily publication.  The Reporter was re-named UB Now in Spring 2016.

Venkat Krovi, assistant professor of mechanical and aerospace engineering who wrote the proposal that resulted in EDS' historicgifi-in·kind to UB, said the software's many benefits will be of immeasurable ,.aJue to SEAS students. Usi ng the technology tools, students will be able to create parts and assembl y drawings, si mulate the operation of mechanisms and machinery, and evaluate quantitatively the performance of vi nu al designs, a process called "virtu al proto typing," Krovi said. This maximizes the design quality while minimizing, if not eliminating, the expense of having to creak multiple physical prototypes. "Using a virtual prototype, we can go one step further in the design of a product and have students sirnulak how it works," Krovi said. "This is the part where things get interesting because we now have the ability to model and to analyu products, and we can make chanies in the design of the product and see how those changes influence the outcome we arc aiming for."' The software also is available for students to install on home comput ers. providing them wi th a daily, engineen to understand the links between the theories that we teach them and the tool! that will help them do proudures bigger and faster," Krovi added. · Hesaidthatas'aresult,SEASstu· dents will graduare with experieDc. in the engineering techniques and computer programs they will use in their carom. "Having our students exposed to technology like this gives them a great advantage," Krovi said. ''Th e faculty are h ere to teach them sound mathematical principles, but they also benefit from learning these tech nology tools. Stud ents used to get this experience through hands-on opportunity to put into practice tht. principles they Jearn in classroom lectures.

Description An account of the resource The UB <em>Reporter</em> began publication on January 22, 1970, a time of tumult at the University. It succeeded the newsletter, <em>Colleague</em>, and to this day, serves as the official source for "in house," internal news. The first issue included an editorial, "Why The Reporter?" explaining the rationale for the newspaper: <br /><blockquote> <p>The feeling was that the University lacks a sense of community—that communication is too helter-skelter—that too many groups feel alienated, apart. Somehow, it was felt, if these groups—faculty, student and staff—could come together on the commons and share their concerns and ideas, their activities, their aspirations and whatever else they have to offer, community and communications would result…But it will not produce instant community. Each of us will have to work toward that goal.</p> </blockquote> <br />The Reporter ceased print production in May 2009 when it became an online only publication; in Spring 2016 it became a daily publication.  The Reporter was re-named UB Now in Spring 2016.

The SUNY goal for incoming freshmen for Fall 2003 was 3,000, and with a yield assumption based on apptications and admitted students, staff expected a class of around 3,200. The yield---the pe=ntage of accepted students who actually enroll-was much better than that, "ith 3,808 students actually seniling in d<-posits as of Ia<! ",.jc "'The kind of applications we're getting are from the most talented students-those-students who are admissible under almost any criteria we would develop," Sullivan says. "The application ~ rate growth showed itself late in the year, and the yield growth sh<iwed itself very late in theyear,sowo couldn't make adjustments in admissions decisioning by the time wo really knew we had a great response from the markrt." He explains that based on history, the admissions offiu makes as· sumptions about where to ..draw the line in terms of who is admissible."

G By LOIS IIAIWI Contributing Editor EOGRAPHERS and epidemiologists from UB, using life-course: data from a cohort of breast cancrr patients and controls in Wes tern Ne'f:¥ YQ rk and geographic information systems (GIS) technology, have shown that women who developed breast cancrr before menopause tend to duster based on when they were born and where they lived at their menarche (start of-menstruation). The· clustering indicates that theK women may have been exposed to something in the environ· ment at those: times in their lives that increased their risk of developing premenopausal breast cancer, said Daikwon Han, postdoctoral fellow in the Department of Social and Preventive Medicine in the School of Public Health and Health Professions and first author on the study. There was less evidence of clustering of postmenopausal cancer cases, he said. Han presented the study resuiiS on June I2 at the annuai!T)eeting of the Society for Epidemiologic Research in Atlanta . ..

"If we juS! look at where th e women lived when they were diagnosed , we miss something important." The Sludy positioned the clustering of premenopausal casn in an area near the border between Erie and Niagara counties in Western New York. The pioj<Ct piggybacks on a casecontrol study of breast cancer in Erie and Niagara counties led by Jo L Freudenheirn, professor and interim chair of the ~t of Social and Prevmtive Medicine. It involves 1,170 women with recently diag· nosed breast cancer and 2,116 healthy women. Of this total, about half wm born in either of the two rounties and had provided the address of their residence at birth and menarche, and became the focus of the cunoent project. In futun studies, the researchers will combine the GIS results with information on the location of steel mills, chemical factories, gasoline stations. toxic-waste sites and othtt industrial sites in the counties between 1918-80. Theywillealculate the distance between these sites and the women's homes at the time of birth and menarche, and compare this information for the partici· pants with and without cancer. Also contributing to the research were Matthew Bonner postdoctoraJ fellow; Jing Nie. graduate student; John E.

Law Library wins marketing award for plasma display TIM Ltiw Ulonry - the 2003 American Association of Law Libraries Excdlencr in Marketing Award for Best Use ofTechnology for the installation and implementation of a plasma display in the front entrance of the library. The award will be presented to law ltbrary representatives _on July 14 at the MLL's annual meeting in Seattle. The plasma display was installed to serve four main goals, aa:ording to James G. Milles, associate dean and director of the Law Library: eliminate the clutter previowly caused by printed signs and norices posted throughout the Law Library. provide an effective means of communicating the library's many services and programs to law students and other customers. position the Law Library as a valuable informational conduit for Law School programs and events, and to respond to the need for news and current affairs information " within the Law School. The system was configured so that it could be expanded by adding remote screens at other locations within the Law School, such as the main en trance to the building, or even small screens nea r the elevators on each floor, Milles says. "This would enable u.s to provide dirrctional information.and events updates throughout the building, all controlled from a central unit in the Law Library," he notes, adding the installation of the plasma display has generated a great deal of "buzz" across the university.

This will allow us to identify demographic and regional patterns of gambling behavior and pathology by U.S. youth." The rtS<an:bers also will examine how the prevalence of problem gambling changes across the 14-2t age range. The relationship among gam· bling beha,•ior and pathology and geographic variables, such as penn is· sivenes!t of state gamh!ing laws and neighborhood soci.tl disadvantage, will be studied.

By IIACHEL MAHSOUII Ropon., Contributor OUNDED five years ago to F improve communication betw«n Erie and Niagara counties, the Erie-Niagara Regional Partnership (ENRP), an ad hoc subcommittee of the Erie and Niagara legislatures. has evolvtd into a Vital conduit for cross-county cooperation and collaboration. Indeed, ENRP, now admini>tered by UB's Institute for !.ocal Govtrnane< and Regional Growth, has not only facilitated communication across the two counties, but also has forged major bi-cowity initiativts in th< fields of ocoilomic d<vtlopmen~ transportation, tourism and culture, and gnvtmm<nt affairs. "When th< ENRP was found<d, the two counties didn't really talk to <ach other. Now we are pursuing key initiatives together," said Sean O'Connor, co-chair of ENRP and chairman o_J...the Niagara County Legi.sla~. "This organiZation has proved that we are much stronger when we look beyond our jurisdictional boundaries for projects ben<ficial to both counties." To give local officials in the two counties a chance to explore the role of ENRP, its proj<et.s and initiatives, as well as opportunities to participate in its various efforts, ENRP, along with th< Niagara County Supervi>ors Association and the Erie County Association of !.ocal Governments, host<d a 1.ocal Govern· ments Forum on june II at Erie Community CoUeg<. "ENRP has buili a foundation for regional cooperation that has .tr.ctivtly opened the lines of communication b<twe<n the two counties and led to a host of valuabl< projects and initiatives."' said Peter McMahon, Grand Wand town supervisor and representative of the Erie County Association of Local Governments. "This fo~ helped us t<> inform lo- cal officials of the work we do and how they can get involved." The 34-member organization. comprued of el<cted officials and loaden of the region's business, labor, planning and devdopm<nt, and tourism and arts communities. sets regional priorities and employs its membership's diverse expertise to dcvdop and implement related strategies and proposals. Building on the growing irust and communication ~n the two counties, ENRP has tak<n on major efforts-from dectronic permitting and =nomic d<vdopnient to cultural tourism and regional growth-that tonn<ct to aeate a framework of support for oconomic d<vdopment "Essentially, through ENRP's various projects and initiatives, we are working to build a ~tter regional infrastructure for economic development," said Barry Wdnstein, Erie County legislator and co-chair of ENRP.

Description An account of the resource The UB <em>Reporter</em> began publication on January 22, 1970, a time of tumult at the University. It succeeded the newsletter, <em>Colleague</em>, and to this day, serves as the official source for "in house," internal news. The first issue included an editorial, "Why The Reporter?" explaining the rationale for the newspaper: <br /><blockquote> <p>The feeling was that the University lacks a sense of community—that communication is too helter-skelter—that too many groups feel alienated, apart. Somehow, it was felt, if these groups—faculty, student and staff—could come together on the commons and share their concerns and ideas, their activities, their aspirations and whatever else they have to offer, community and communications would result…But it will not produce instant community. Each of us will have to work toward that goal.</p> </blockquote> <br />The Reporter ceased print production in May 2009 when it became an online only publication; in Spring 2016 it became a daily publication.  The Reporter was re-named UB Now in Spring 2016.

May 22-23 in O'Brian Hall, North Campus. The workshop will bring together an interdisciplinary group of Canadian and U.S. scholars to discuss the historical and con~mpo ­ rary policies and practices that hav~ shaped educational responst"S to diversity in each nation. While schools in the U.S. and Canada never have ~en more ra- cially, ethnically and socioculturallydiverse, educational policies and practices that support diversity and multiculturalism att under sit:ge across North America as affirmative action is challenged, bilingUal education policies are rolled back an'd the racial achievement gap widen; for students of color and immigrants. The workshop's keynote speaker will be David Gillborn, profes- sor of education, s'chool of Educational Foundations and Policy Studies in The Institute of Education, University of London. The author of " Racim1 and Antiracism in Real Schools," his landmark report, " Educational Inequality: Mapping Race, Class and Gender," showed that children from ethnic minority backgrounds are being left behind as educational standards rise.

There was friendly, but passionate disagree· ment within tho group-which is not surprising. given that members are dedicated to the ideals of a liberal education and free speech. Group members operate from the premise that, as American citiz.ms, it is their responsibility-their pa· triotic duty, according to Paul Reitan, professor emeritus of geology-to respond to the war and the ongoing crisis in Iraq.

They weren't just a hushand·wife team in pursuit of their master's degrees: The effort was a family affair as weU. Nancy, who has two t=ge daughters, had to have two eye sur- geries this year. Her daughters helped her with assignments by reading to her, and Bob helped her type her papers.

Drug effective for RSV wheezing 8y LOIS IIAIWI Contributing Editor NFECI10US disease specialists at UB ba"" demonstrated a. potentially effective treatment to prevent the frequently life-threatening oomplications that can develop in infants from infection with respiratory syncytial virus . (RSV), a significant cause of infant deaths around the world. Using mice as an animal model, the researchers showed that tr-.aiment with the drug zileuton after RSV infection had talcen hold reduced the production of proinftammatoryoompoundscaUed cysteinylleukotrienes (IT), known to promote the airway oongestion and constriction that causes Wheezing. The results were the first to show that inhibition of LT release with zileuton also revetsed the rapid respirations occurring in mice with RSV infection. · Results of the study were presented last week~t the Pediatric Academic Societies meeting in Seattle. "RSV is the most oommon cause of hospitalization in infants and children." said Robert C. Welliver, professor of pediatrics in the School of Medicine and Biomedical Sciences, and lead author on the study. I "1Wo to 3 percent of all infapu in the U.S. an: hospitalized each year for this inff:ction, and it is a significant cause of infant mOrtality worldwide," he said: "From a humanitarian and finaocial standpoin~ the 0051 is huge, and thert is no vaccine." Earlier .......:hbyw.lliYerandoolleagues bad shown that pretreating mice wi\h zilalton before.exposing them to RSV l"""'"ted development ofmudl oftherespiratoryillness usu: ally associated with the virus. They undertookthecurrentstudytodetermine if the drug would be equally effective when administr:red afitr the infection had taken bold. Tbe study ~lved two groups of mice that received zilalton afitr being infected with RSV. as wen as mice that were infected, but receiYed no treatmen~and that served as oontrols. One treatment group received the drug on days 3-5 after being infected with the virus, the other received the drug from days 3-9. All "'ice were monitored for nine days. Researd!ers ooUected data on respiratory rate and airway resistanoe before infection and throughout the trials. Tbe mice also were weighed daily (infunts often lose weight during this illness. ) Results from the first group showed that administering the drug for three days significantly reduced airway resistance, but bad littleeft".ct on respiration rates. trnprcwement in respiration ratrs was seen in the O<Cond group on days &-9 oftreatmen~ but contlouing treatment this long didn't provide any iulditlonal impnM~D<Dt in airway restriction. Animals receiving treatment lost less weight and were more aCO.., than untreated mice, results showed. lmlted animals also bad fewer inftammatory cells in their lung tissue. Zileuton currently is approved by the FDA for use in persons. ages 12 and older as a pretreatment to prevent wheezing and other asthma symptoms in persons at risk. II is not app!O""d for use once symptoms of airway constriction have set in. Welliver said trials are under way with similar drugs in children as young as 2, and trials in 6-montholds are set to begin in the fall. "This study demon~tes that [ f inhibition would not only be effective for p~tion of severe RSV disease in groups of infants known to be at risk. but also for treatment of infants with already established, early RSV disease," said Welliver. Also contributing to the study were Karen H. Hintz and Maria Glori. assistants in Welliver's lab. a..._ o...-l N._,..t, Ua l(ll) c-.. Mlchlpn 1, ua 4; .,..,.ct--·ua '· c-..

Description An account of the resource The UB <em>Reporter</em> began publication on January 22, 1970, a time of tumult at the University. It succeeded the newsletter, <em>Colleague</em>, and to this day, serves as the official source for "in house," internal news. The first issue included an editorial, "Why The Reporter?" explaining the rationale for the newspaper: <br /><blockquote> <p>The feeling was that the University lacks a sense of community—that communication is too helter-skelter—that too many groups feel alienated, apart. Somehow, it was felt, if these groups—faculty, student and staff—could come together on the commons and share their concerns and ideas, their activities, their aspirations and whatever else they have to offer, community and communications would result…But it will not produce instant community. Each of us will have to work toward that goal.</p> </blockquote> <br />The Reporter ceased print production in May 2009 when it became an online only publication; in Spring 2016 it became a daily publication.  The Reporter was re-named UB Now in Spring 2016.

Moreover, information and cnunseling on diet and exercise programs to treat the obesity had tittle effect • in this group. Obese children who were foUowed for an average of two years after seeing a specialist gained even more weight, findings showed. The resulu of the study were to be presented on Saturday at the Pe· diatric Academic Societies meeting oong held Saturday through lUesday in Seattle. ~Chil dhood obesity not only affects a child's self-est..,m, it is also associated with multiple medical consequences," said Teresa Quanrin, associate professor of pediatrics and director of the study. "High insulin ln·el·is believed to be rdated to type 2 diabetes, formerly known as 'adult-onset diabetes.' In fact, the incidence of type 2 diabetes in children has.risen significantly in recent years, along with high prevalence of obesity. "Children at risk of obesity must be identified ""Y early, ....u at the preschoollevd; she said. 'Obese chil·dren often have obese parents, so an effective, family·based, multi-factor intc,..,ntion program should begin as soon as obesity is diagnosed." The purpose of the study, condueled by Quattrin and co-investigator Emily liu, research assistant professor of pediatrics_at Kaleida Health's Women's and Children's Hospital, was to identify characteristics of obese children who are refer red to the hospital's pediatric endocrine specialists, determine the age of onset of obesity and analyze the resulu of treatment recommendati9ns.

Girls accounted for 57.6 percent of the total group, which was 75 percent Caucasiap, 17 percent African-American, 3 percent Hispanic and 2 percent "other." Obesity W.. defined as having a body-mass index (BMI, a ratio of height squared to weight ) at or abo.., the 85th percentile for age for two years or more. The ~ers also ha... information for some children on hone age, gluoose and insulin levels, liver function tests and cholesterol. They obtained growth data from primary-care physicians to determine how old the children were when they hit the obesity mark. At the initial visi~ parents or caretalc= re<:ri.-ed extensiveoounselingon diet and activity recommendations, along with written guidelines, and were advised to meet with a dietician. 1\vo-year follow-up data were available for II 0 children. This data showed that during that period, BMI increased on average from 29.2 to 31.5. (Optimal BMI forchildren depends on the child's age; for adulu the healthy range is I ~25. ) "Clearly, referral to pediatric endocrinologists and dieticians is not efl'ectM in ~~eating childhood obesity; said Uu. "An dfectiv< weightloss program should not only focus on children, it should also include the parenu and the school system. Obese children lilcdy have obese parents. High-caloriesd!oollunches may add to the problem.• Even though !her. may be a genetic predisposition for obesity, other factors play important roles, she said, including food available at home and school, environmental factors, such as a watching 1V, playing computer games and lad of exercise, and the role model of parents. Additional resulu showed that 86 percent of 177 children were obese before the age of sil, and children were obese for an average of three years before they were referred to an endocrinologist. Abnormally high insulin levds were found in children as young as 4 years old, and eight of 43 children with abnormally high insulin levyounger than IO. In addition, 13percentofl47 children had abnormal li=-function tesu. "Our data show it is ""Y important for obesity inten>ention to begin at the preschooii<Yel," Uu said. " It is also aucial to monitor all potential on-morbiruties in obese children, such as liver function and insulin levels, to prevmt early onset of chronic disease. 'Fatty ti..,r' is onmmon in obesity, and the condition can lead to a disease called nonalcoholic steatohepat!tis, whjch, in tum, can develop into cirrhosis. A high insulin level is associated with diabetes, especially in children with a family history of diabetes. "Perhaps the epidemic of obesity can be stopped if we intervene ""ry early with an intensive bt:havioralmodification program," said I.iu. The research was suppon·ed in part by a summer student grant from the Lawson Wilkins Pediatric Endocrine Society to medical stu· dent Natalie Shaw and a Stransky Award from the Women and Children's Foundation. els"""' UB computer project receives $50,000 grant from Yerizon 1 'T• IMip ~s ...... ltiiiiMts become tomorrow's scien' tilu and techilologists, Verimn is supponing with a $50,000 grant a 1project offet;ing studenU at three area high schools the opportunity to build small computer cluskrs. The pf(lject, which may be the first of iu kind in the nation, is being conducted by the Center for Computational Raearch at UB. Verimn representatives and VB staff met recently at CCR with teachers and studenu from the schools-City Honors High School, Mt. St. Mary Academy and Orchard Park High School-to announce the grant. The studenu and faculty visited CCR, viewing "'vera! projects on the center's high'end visualization systems and the large Dell computer clusters that are the model for the mini-clusters that will be built at each high school. E. Bruce Pitman, vice provost for educational technology, addressed the ,group, g!ving them a brief overview of bioinformatics and the role of the sd'percomputing clusters in supporting the work of the VB Center of El=llence in Bioinformatics. The new project, "'Nat ~neration Scientists: Training for Studenu and Teachers." will provjde studenu with a solid base ofknowlMge in science and technology, panicularly in the areas of computing, bioinformatics and computational biology. Western New York high school teachers, with support from VB scientists, will d<Yelop materia,ls to educate studenu in these disciplines. The students themselves will participate in extracurricular oourses at their schools, learning the essentials of networking. and building and programming small Linux-based dust~ computers that have the same fundamental technology as the much larger supercomputers in CCR. HP-Compaq donat<d the onmputers that will be used in the project. Robert Farwell, Jr., principal of Orchard Park High School, praised the project and past CCR student workshops that, he said, encourage students to pursue further study in science and technology. "Our world can only benefit from intelligent, caring and knowledgeable studenu and educators working together to improve the quality of life for others," he added. The $50,000 grant from Verizon is part of the "The Campaign for VB: Generation to Generation," which is in iu final phase and bas a goal of $250 million.

"We are very appreciative of this support, especially since this gift will further our goals for the newly cruted Ceo"'r for Raearch in Cardiovascular Medicine at UB," Klocke said. Carlton Brock, Jr., district manager for Medtronic, said the onrporation is pleased to provide defibrillator systems "for research that could have a direct impact on saving li-," adding, "partnerships such'lS these that tie the work of researchers with the medical industry are the future of incJeased good health for the public." Medtronic is one of several organizations, including the Mae Stone Goode 1rust and the John R. Oishei Foundation, that~ madeonmmitmenu to supporting UB's new cudiac center, beaded by Canty. In his work at the center, Canty leads a team of scientisu'from the departmenu of Medicine, Physiology and Biophysics, Biochemistry, Genetics and Pharmaa>logy and Toxicology, as weU as the Center for Positron Emission Tomography. He said the defibrillator systems will play a key role in research !\tat he hopes will lead to a better understanding of the mechanisms responsible for sudden . cardiac death (SCD) in ischemic heart~. "PrOgress has been made in reant years in the treatment of ischemic heart disease, myocardial infarction and heart failure, but there is still a n~d for prevention of other cardiovascular disorders, such as sudden cardiac death from ventricular arrhy.thmias," Canty said. A professor in the departments of Medicine, Physiology and Biophysics aod a 1979 graduate .of the VB medical school, Canty in 200 I was named the medical school's Albert and Elizabeth Rekate Chair in Cardiovascular Disease. Medtronic is the world leader in medical technology providing lifelong solutions for people with chronic disease. The company offers products, therapies and services that erthance or extend the lives of millions of people. Each year, 2.5 million patienu benefit from Medtronic's technology. The gift-in-kind is part of the "Campaijlit for UB: Generation to Generation," now in its final phase. �Some 6,800 students are candidates to receive degrees during ceremonies I.Cuoo s __ _ -....................

IEM to offer scholarships aY PA-nKIA DONOVAN Contributing Editor GINNING in the Fall 003 semester, qualified coming UB freshmen from abroad will be eligible for n:newable $2,500 scholarships administered through the Office of International Enrollment Management (!EM). Awardees will be able to receive the scholarships annually for up to four years as long as they oontinue to meet high acadentic standards while enrolled at UB. Joseph J. Hindrawan, assistant vice provost for international edu- · cation and director of !EM, said the program was initiated to increase UB's pool of highly qualified freshmen applicants from overseas, which be hopes will lead to a more diversified international enrollmenL "In particular," he says, "we hope the scholarships will increase the number of incoming freshmen from Canada, a number that has historically been small "Canadians haven't applied in the past for a number of reasons, including tuitio.n cost and an unfavorable, currency exchange rate. It is also the case that Canada offers higher education at a very low cost to its students." he says, "'and Canadian parents express concern that children attending U.S. col- H leges and universities for their un ~ dergraduate work are unlikely to return to Canada." ~drawan says that UB greatly inaea.sed its recruitment efforts in Canada last year and it has paid off. have seen a significant increase in applications from Canadian students, and our Canadian freshman enroUment for the fall is already nearly 30<) percent larger than last year. There are several n:asons for this," Hindrawan notes. "We "1Ns Isn't • . - ..... of KhoMnhlp......, ..... ,...., _to __. . ., butlt_ ....... ......_ - to---~ -.. ... ............ 11111hwtlwo,....., ,_..• jOSEPH I· HINDRAWAN "One is a major change in theCa- nadialt educational system this year. Whereas Canadian students had been required to oomplete 13 years of education before college, they now are required to oomplet< only 12 years. This has resulted in a double cohort of graduates from Canadian high school in 2003." He says that it is unlik<lythat Canadian oolleges and univ=ities will be able to acco mm odate all of them, so there are more Canadian students than usual seekingadmis ~ sion to U.S. schools American universities appeal to Canadian students for another reason as well, he says. It is much easier for them to change their academic majors in American schools than in Canadian institutions. "The nurilber of seats available in many upper-level Canadian under- . graduate programs is not nearly as large as in the u.s; Hindrawan says. "For instance, limited space .illaws-only about 5 percent of undergraduates in Canadian oolleges to transfer into progi-ams in the healthcare professions," be says, "and because of the double cohort of graduates in 2003, there wilJ be even greater oompetition for thoSe seats over the nat frw years. "Even highly qualified students will be seeking programs elsewhere." Tbenew~program is just one more attraction for Canadians, according tn Hindrawan. He expects the program will have appeal to Asian parents as weU, many of whom save money on their children's oollege education by having them spend their first year or _,of undergraduate study at borne before transferring tn a U.S. school. "This isn't~ great deal of scholarship money per year," he acknowledges, "but it will make a difference to some families, permining them to send their children here in their freshman, rather than junior, year. Money aside, the receipt of such a scholarship will be very pn:stigious for an Asian student, a fact that also may cnoourage parents to send their children to the U.S. a little earlier."

Ebert, who died unapectedly in 200 I while at work. was a 1986 graduate of the Law School. He was a "dedicated and highly regarded" public defender in the Oneida County Public Defender's Office, "a geode man who was a true workhorse," acoording tn his boss, Frank J. Nebush.

SEFA policy changed to allow dollar recognition To the Editor. The SEFA trndition at UB has a long and proud history. Y= after year, the emplo~ at UB demonstrate almost unparalleled generosity in their contributions to help people in need,locaUy and around our start, nation and world. As the newly appointed chair of UB's 2003 SEFA campaign,! eagerly hope and expect our tradition to continue. In that int=,l'd like to clarify any rnisundentandings resulting from a letter in the Aprill7 edition ofthe Reporter. The primary point was a valid criticism of a policy change made at the statewide level in January prolubiting SEFA from providing to ag<t~­ ci~ the dollar amounts donated to them by individual donOrs tlilough the donor~tion proass. However, the policy change was nullified in late March afier considering f«!!back from recipient agencies and local SEFA board.t-including our own local steering group. The prior policy of providing donor nam ~ and gift amounts has been r~tored and is expected to re- companied by gift amounts. As th~ of us at UB who are increasingly involved in fundraising know, there are legitimate administrative costs associated with all charitable campaigns, and SEFA is no aception. Through volunt~r help and very careful budgeting, SEFA trnditionally spends only 6-8 percent of its total budget on fundraising and administrative costs, not the I0 percent report<d in the April l7letter. This figure compares very favorably to national averaga, d=onstrating that SEFA is a very responsible steward of contributions reaived FJnally,theApril17lett<radvocates that UB empi~ make their charitable contributions directly to the agen<Xs oftbeird!oice, bypassing the SEFA campaign. This is a choice that we aD have always been fret: to m~ and· many of us choost to donate both through the SEFA campaign and dir..:tly to other cbariti"'- There are many practical reasons that the SEFA campaign is a smart and~­ m~ns main in place. Before the end of cic:nt April, all agencies will have receiV<d rontributions. the usual list of donor names ac· of making charitable Beyond the practical consider- ations, ~are..., more importmt reasons why we at UB should giY< through the SEFA campaign.

Ho watched in the days following the attack as dozens.of funeral proc<ssions passed by his home in the city, the grief-stricken clad in. white, the traditional color of mourning. What was to be primarily an artistic and spiritual journey, inspired in part .by Vedantic and Buddhist philosophy, inunediately took on a much larger political and social dimension, which soon was reflected in his full-colored drawings and paintings from that time. Religion and politics, as well as temporal and spiritual·concems, suffuse Schirm's artwork. A large painting now hanging in his North Campus office captivates, then informs, without the heavy-handed posturing of so · much politically inspired art-;J briefglance evokes giant, peonylike red flowers that are in reality buildings on lire.

It is Colombo after the suicide attack and strangely reminiscent of a not-)"t-distafit attack on the 'M>rld Thlde Center. Schirm visited Sri Lanka and India during his first Fulbright Fellowship and next winter will make a return trip to both countries-spending a month in each-for his second Fulbright award, accompanied by his wif.; and two children. He will visit sites sacred to both Hindu and Buddhist followers, undertaking two separate journeys that follow the paths of two of the greatest figures of Eastern philosophy and reli gion-the Hindu god Rama, hero of the Indian epic "The Ramayana," and Buddha. As part of his Fulbright application, he tells the story of how his relationship with Eastern culture began. Just before he shipped out for a tour in Vietnam, Schirm acquired a small ropy of the wnka image ofR.ama to the Kathiresan KoviJ.also in Sri Lanlca. "']1,., images will ba.., tra'Jded together as companions, similar to their historic relationship but without the conflict that bas marred their association," says Schirm. He also plans to keep written,~ and phomgraphic journals and to exhibit the resulting artwork from his journey at the Indian Kanoiia Centlt !Dr the Arts, the Liond Wendt Gallery in Sri Lanka and later; in the United Sims. In both countries, he will conduct~tobdp~artstudentsb-grad.-study book to disrover that it was about a warrior's duty. Struck by my dumbness, I couldn't imagine that a rewyears after that I would 6nd myself in the Los Angeles Vedanta Center where I met Ouist6pher Isherwood (acclaimed Anglo-American IKM'listand playwright,l906-l986), who had helped translate that version. "For several years I was exposed to Vedantic and Buddhist philosophy. I was especially influenced by the ironic twists in the ancient literature that paralleled the kinds of turns· that had made a direct impact on my life. However, there seemed to be little influence on my professional work," he explains. All of that changed, says Schirm, in 1983, when his work shifted in to narrative storytelling through his drawings. "Since then, I have ocplored family history, my war and social. religious or political themes." In a symbolic gesture and to represent bringing the two divergent paths together, Schirm will present a small Buddha to the lsipa thanaramaya Buddhist temple in Sri Lanka and an in the hope that the most talented artists from the host countries will be able to complete one to two years of study in the US.

"There is the snake charmer who comes to your door with a cobra and the cobra outside.in the garden ready to bite-your children-! bad to go out every morning and beat the bushes to chase the cobras away" he says of one of his daily routines in Colombo.

He says the Sri Lankan experience continues to shape his work and teaching with memoiie5t as wd1 as images and metaphors, from his time there.

Description An account of the resource The UB <em>Reporter</em> began publication on January 22, 1970, a time of tumult at the University. It succeeded the newsletter, <em>Colleague</em>, and to this day, serves as the official source for "in house," internal news. The first issue included an editorial, "Why The Reporter?" explaining the rationale for the newspaper: <br /><blockquote> <p>The feeling was that the University lacks a sense of community—that communication is too helter-skelter—that too many groups feel alienated, apart. Somehow, it was felt, if these groups—faculty, student and staff—could come together on the commons and share their concerns and ideas, their activities, their aspirations and whatever else they have to offer, community and communications would result…But it will not produce instant community. Each of us will have to work toward that goal.</p> </blockquote> <br />The Reporter ceased print production in May 2009 when it became an online only publication; in Spring 2016 it became a daily publication.  The Reporter was re-named UB Now in Spring 2016.

With the help of a $40,000 grant from the Allstate Foundation, UB is beginning a program called the Allstate lnitia!M in an effort to hdp yolmger IIUdents in the community avoid violent and other counterprodum.. behaviOrs. Lawrence Shulman, dean of the School of Social Work, said the Allstate Initiative will be part of the Kensington Coalition, a group that seeks to improve the chances of success for students before they begin high ochool. Shulman and Sharon West, the execu!M dire<:· tor of the Buffalo Municipal Housing Authority (BMHA), co-chair the cOalition, which includes representatives from the Buffalo Pubtic Schools, Buffalo Police Department, FBI, Erie County District Attorney's Office and BMHA, as well as health, human-services and employment agencies, and community groups. Shulman said the group's progress durina tho past year includes a "sharp drop in Kmsington High School suspe!lSions as 90< indicator." The grant from the Allstate Foundation will help the area's munger students to make smarter decisions as they grow, be added "The Allstate lnitiati"" will serve as an 'inoculation' program for upper-dementary and middle-school students, in which we will at· tempt to 'vaccinate' them against the destructive behaviors and other perils thiu they will face in high school," he said. The Allstate Initiative, conducted through the School of Social Work, will be an 18-month pilot program providing violence-pre· vention, intervention and mentoring services in two middle scpools and one elementary school that feed into Kensington High School. The program will focus on pre- and early teens (sixth through ninth graders) who are preparing to make the transition into high schoola time that is difficult for m.any students, but especially for tho,. who live in depressed urban neighborhoods. The support of the Allstate Foundation will fund program impl<'\ mentation costs, including the work of a behavioral specialist whd will work with students in the three targeted ochools within the Kenlington High ~<:><>I feeder system. �4 ~~aporia .Aiwiii7.Z003/VIl34.11G.21 Award honon chemist whose classes help communities resolve envirOnmental problems B RIEFLY Author..., Linking teaching with·service work Chot..,.... _., ... ........ -. ......................... ............... ......,. ...

I would like 10. begin with a quote on the back of a !-shirt I wear frequently because it makes tht point: "I may not agree with a word you say, but I will defend 10 the death your right to say iL" On the front, it simply states: ·u.s.Armed Forces." · Allow me 10 introduce myself. I am a student who began taking courses at the University at Buffalo in the Fall of 2000. Most times you prnb;!bly walked by me without a second thought; other days you might have noticed that I wear the uniform of an airman in the United States Air Force. You do not see me noW because I am serving in support of Operations Enduring Freedom overseas. lei mecultothechase.ln response to the letter some faculty posted, I am disappointed at the lack of education and research this letttr illustrates. I =liu the letter posted in the online version of the &porur is now almost a month old, but much of the information listed in the letter has beenavailableforyears. Thc:lettercites bombins- that will cause the "death of numerous innocent iraqi men, women and cbildrtn: As of Day II of Operation Iraqi Freedom, very few civilians hall< lost their lives and none hall< been inltntionally targeted.. R<cently, in President Busb's radio address. the President told a grim lllleof " ... An Iraqi woman was hanged for waving at coalition troops .. .• This woman was not hanged by coalition troops, bul by her own cowitry. The letttr submitted In' the faculty and staff mtrnbers also mentions the "lack of evidence" of weapons of mass destruction. At the end of February through the beginning of March, Saddam Hussein mystetiously "turned up" weapons he had been asked to product for the past II years. He produced weapons and documentation on a ..one-two" basis--w~p ­ oris he had throughout the entire inspection, but refused to turnover in full disclosure. Producing such small amounts after so many years of requests by the United Nations was a feeble alltrnpllo try to show honesty after years of lies. On Oct. 16, 2002, President Bush signed the Iraq War Resolution. According 10 CNN, "The congressional m~surt authorizes Bush to commit U.S. troops to enfo= U.N. resolution• mandating Iraq give up its efforts to devdop chtrnical, biological and nuclear weapons." The resolution goes on to state: ..'~Jle president is authorized to use the armed forces of the United States as he determines 10 be necespry and appropriate in order to ( I) defend the national security of the United States against tbe continuing threat posed by Iraq, and (2) enforce all relevant United Nations Security Council resolutions re- garding Iraq.• . I would like to add two more points without extending this too much further. One, the war is not about oil-plain and simple. I'm not sure how this mindset started, but it is quite skewed Second, Saddarn Hussein has bem known 10 be both a ttrrorist and to have killed his own people. This was seen as unacceptable during the Nazi reign, so why is it so easy to tum our backs these days? No one wants war, but sometimes th~ is no other option. Finally, we arc not alone.

"Water is the next big commodity, not oil," said Mohamed Sultan, professor in the Department of Geology in the College of Arts and Sciences. "Major disputes·in the future wilJ not be about borders or oil, but water and they will arise between countries in the arid and semi-arid parts of the world.• Sulaan's perspective on the topic comes from his interdisciplinary research, which combines geology, hydrology, remote sensing and geochemical and ecological analysis to determine how dramatic changes in land use in arid Middle Eastern countries-from deseri toag- M ricuhuraJ u~re "As scientists, I see our role as potential diffuaen of these conflicts," he said. "If we find cost-effective and environmentally friendly ways to better manage the scarce water resources in these areas, we will resolve potential sources of confiict." Sultan, who was born in Egypt, leads the only intttnational team with permission from that oountry's govmunenttostudy and assess the environmental impacts of its major water-management projects, such as how the $3 billion 1bshka Canal will affect groundwater in Egypt and neighboring nations.

Lake Nasser was in the 1960s when the Aswan High Dam was built in order to tame floods from the Nile RiYer and to meet Egypt's demand for- electricity. Because of a lack of funds, the second and third stages of the Thshka Canal project have been put on hold. Aa:ording to Sultan, that's a good thing. . In essence. he said, the Thshka Canal wiD tak water from Lake Nasser and pump it up a cliff to cultivate about half a million acres !hat formerly were part of the sahara Desert. Underlhe Egyptian govmupent's plan, mges two and three, whicb would involve additional pumping stations and irrigation canals designed to channel more water from the laU to cultivate more land, would cost an additional S6 billion. "It takes an enormous amount of energy to pump the~ uphill as it were,• said Sultan. "Our alternative aa:ornplisbes the same goais--<:ultivating the same area-but lets nature do it instead. Without big. energy-<Dnsuming pumping silllions." Sulaan's research paper on the subject, published last May in the }oumal of Hydrology, is the only peer-~ scientific study that <:Xalllines the hydrologic impacts ofl..ake Nasser and adjacent irrigation projects. Under Sultan's "second Ri= Nile" plan, Egypt could develop far more tillable land than the projected 500,000 acres at greatly reduced cost and with far less environmental impact. "Our oomputer models and calculations show that since much less water is leaking out of Lake Nasser today, lake l...,ls are on the rise. and \tfater now is available to e.ncroadl onto lands wh..,;, it previously oouldn't." he explained. That's because as time progresses. the botton< of an artificiallake becomes more sealed. Based on what die researchers know about the hydrology of artificial lakes, and the delailed understanding of the area's landscap<', this process will continu<, essentially creating spillways for the water from Lake Nasser to follow, running from depression to depression across portions of the Sahara Desert. It took 40 years for •.his process to create fiv< major new lakes to the west of Lake Nasser. said Sultan. "That flow is so significant that. giV<n time, it oould potentially create a second River Nile, running ¥.'eSt and parallel to the Nile Valley." he sa~ . mated � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Description An account of the resource The UB <em>Reporter</em> began publication on January 22, 1970, a time of tumult at the University. It succeeded the newsletter, <em>Colleague</em>, and to this day, serves as the official source for "in house," internal news. The first issue included an editorial, "Why The Reporter?" explaining the rationale for the newspaper: <br /><blockquote> <p>The feeling was that the University lacks a sense of community—that communication is too helter-skelter—that too many groups feel alienated, apart. Somehow, it was felt, if these groups—faculty, student and staff—could come together on the commons and share their concerns and ideas, their activities, their aspirations and whatever else they have to offer, community and communications would result…But it will not produce instant community. Each of us will have to work toward that goal.</p> </blockquote> <br />The Reporter ceased print production in May 2009 when it became an online only publication; in Spring 2016 it became a daily publication.  The Reporter was re-named UB Now in Spring 2016.

This has bten the case throughout !he 20th century, but today, our national star is hitched fast to research in the natural sciences. medicine and technology.

In fact, Paulson, a lit<rary scholar, notes that contemporary tit erature, instead of rolling over be· fore the technological onslaught, has employed the new medias. The novel, he says. "has redefined its ter· ritory of representation and range of techniques and play'" to product such forms as postmodmist nov· els, cyberpunk and hypertext fiction.

Description An account of the resource The UB <em>Reporter</em> began publication on January 22, 1970, a time of tumult at the University. It succeeded the newsletter, <em>Colleague</em>, and to this day, serves as the official source for "in house," internal news. The first issue included an editorial, "Why The Reporter?" explaining the rationale for the newspaper: <br /><blockquote> <p>The feeling was that the University lacks a sense of community—that communication is too helter-skelter—that too many groups feel alienated, apart. Somehow, it was felt, if these groups—faculty, student and staff—could come together on the commons and share their concerns and ideas, their activities, their aspirations and whatever else they have to offer, community and communications would result…But it will not produce instant community. Each of us will have to work toward that goal.</p> </blockquote> <br />The Reporter ceased print production in May 2009 when it became an online only publication; in Spring 2016 it became a daily publication.  The Reporter was re-named UB Now in Spring 2016.

J Medical school earns reaccreditation . , LOIS IIAIWI Contributing Ed~<>< HE School of Medicine and Biomedical Sciences has earned reaccreditation for eight more years from the Liaison Committee on Medical Education (LCME). The action constitutes a ringing endorsement of the school'• educational program: Eight years is the longest interval between surveys allowed by the LCME. The program's next accreditation s u~y will take place in 2010. "To have LCME say 'We'U see you in 2010' was great news," said Margam Paroski, interim vice president for health affairs and interim dean of the medical school. "We have a few areas that need shoring up. but byand -large, the evaluators reaUy lilced T M more t('xt a t We-b site L link on Web slle p more photot on Web 1\ llddltlonalllnk on Web our new curriculum.

"Thefeedbad<from students bas been ~ positive. We now have a living. b=thingcurriculum.lt makes teaching so mudl more fun." Redesigning the first l1(YO years of the curriculum into organ-based modules instead of depanment based modules, plus reorganizing and stabilizing the school's financial underpinnings, were tasks the LCME had directed the medical school to achieve in order to rcce:ive its reaccreditation. In its final report, the LCME now labels both those areas specific institutional strengths. Most of the reaccreditation work wa s accomp li shed under the school's former dean, Michael Ber- nardino, who resigned his post in February after four yean at UB to return to private radiology praciice in Atlanta. The LCME notes Bernardino's contributions to the medical school as the first of five institutional strengths. The report commends him as an dfective agent for cbangle and ,lauds his leadership. ronununication with faculty and students, and management of the school's financial resources.

In essence, we look for New York State students who arc able to sucatd in coUcgc, but who have been subj<cttd to a history of tdu· cational and financial disadvan· tagcs that have prevented them from manifesting their full talent and ability. Our goal is to provide every possible avenue and opportunity that will support the aca· demic success and ultimate life chances of each student adrnined through the Educational Oppor· tun ity Program of the University al Buffalo. How dots It differ from the Educational Opportunity Center? The Educational Opportunity Cen ter is a post-secondary institution, which offers a range of tuition-free remedial, vocational and academic programs leading to col. lege entry or employment. EOC students must also be New York State residents and educationaUy and financially disadvantaged . HoweV~r,· F..OC proVideS eduCa lional opportunities to adults who are unprepared for college-levt l study or vocationally unprepared for employment. Examples of some of their programs are prepa.. tion for the GED exam, English as a second language ( ESL), com· puter repair, nurse assistant, den tal assistant, business skills and SAT preParation, to name a few. The majority of the programs are short-term (less than a year) and designed to prepare individuals for the workforce b~l with a skill or profession that will allow them to make a living wage without a college ·degree. Th• director is ·Sheryl Weems. How many students do you serve? We serve 940 students. This is down from as many as 1,100 in the early 90s, as a consequence of an· nual New York State budget cuts and program reductions. However, UB has one of the largest pro- grarru of this type in the country and tlic.largest in New York, l'mn· sylvania or New Ieney (the other Eastern states with state-sponsored programs) by about 200 studcnu. What spec.lflc services do JOU provide? The number o~c benefit df EOP is being able to have yo~ admission• application judged on non· cognitive criteria in conjunction with the standardiud criteria of tcsl scores, dan rank and high school GPA. Of coune, EOP pro. vides a host of other academic support services, including the op· portunity to see an advisor as often as necessary. Each student is assigntd a personal counselor/ad· visor who will be avai'lable 10 rrionitor, advise, counsel and advocate for that student through· out his or her entire undergradu ate carerr. The counselors wiJI see each student on their rosters an average of five times each semester. Many students su t.heir counselor weekly. We also offer tutor· ing in any subject at no charge to the student , a peer- mentoring program, a monthly workshop for students who are sing]e parents, an EOP Distinguished Alumni Speaker> series, a personal budgel· in.s .~?.r~~~ ~a~ ~~~~.te..~ ..a~~ . a boOk loan program for freshman course textbooks. We also sponsor smaJJer sections of some of the common gen ed courses and provide sponsorship to a number of university workshdps of benefit to our students. Opr firs1 introduc tion to the students is through our pre-freshman transitional sum· mer program. The Summer Program is a three-week residential program dcsigntd lo help stud•nts preparing for ihe froshman year of study at VB undcntand and adjust to the un iversity's environment and culture. The program is . a highly structured experience de· signtd to help students make the transition from high school cui· turc and expectations to VB culture, rigor> and expectations. .. __ ,_.._....... , •• thwe • partlc1Mr stoodenl who •~• outln ,_.. ntlnd7 Given the odds that our students have overcome, every student who gcu here to UB is a success already. of academic summer proOurs arc the students who have •ur.vivtd what Job nathan 'Korol tcrms"sava~inequalitia."Bylcg· islative mandate, EOP studenu cannot qualify fur rqular admis· sion• based on the standard critc· ria, yet they graduate from coUcgc at rates competitive with UBregu· lar admits and lOur-year schools all over the nation. However, we've also bad a lot of high-profile and visible students. For example, each year we have several students who rank as a valtdictorian or saluta· torian of their academic depart menu. Each year, we recognize 300· 400 students for attaining high academic achiev<ment (3.0 0 or better), bavc 40·50 students in· ducttd into "Who's Who Among American· University and College Students," and graduate about 1520 students with Latin Honors. Our students also are active anCI engagtd campus leaders. We have more than 30 students who serve as leaders in a variety of student dubs and campus organizations. Within the past six or seven years, an EOP student has been president of the undergraduate Student As· sociation, the most recent be:ing Monica Monyo '"and Fernando Maisonette bt-fore her. Just a few year' ago~a UB EOP siudCi:it Was president of the SUNY-wide Stu· dent As.sociatioo, and as such. ·also was a sitting member of the SUNY Board of Trustees. Our students have been members of the UB Council, and members of the: SUNY-wide Student Senate. I understand lOP was recognized recently with a n•tlon•f award. Tell me . - l lt. The award was for our pre-fresh· man summer program, which I discussed above. We were recognized for operating one of the top three non-c.redit summer pro· grams iti higher tducation in the nation. This is an award that is given by the North American As· sedation of Summer Sessions (NAASS).

Most people tend to think that EOP is a predominantly Afii. can-American program, very much akin to affirmative action , and that tbe students have aU expenses paid"by EOP. The fact is that st~tewidc EOP is a ve.ry dive.rse program, with about one-third of the stu dents being wh ite, one-third African American and the remainder Asian American and Latino, with a smaU percentage of Native-American students. EOP is based totally on disadvantagedness and the average EOP student probably contributes a greater share of rhe cost of his or her own tuition from work and loans than the average regular-admit student. EOP students "are funded like every other VB· accepted student. They typi· cally arc eligible for high amounis of ftderal and state aid because they typically arc much poorer. For example, the maximum family income for a family of four is $26,000. Most students come from families with incomes that are much less. The 3\•<rage family income in our program is ahout $16,000 per year. In the past, EOP has provided about $500 per semeSter .of assis tance. However, although modest in a $14,000 VB stu· dent cost of attendance, it was critically needed. The pro· posed cut of the EOP direct aid in this year's state budget, combintd with the deferral of one-third of the TAP cligibil· ity would be devastating to the average EOP student. ~is is a deserving program for deserving New York State students.

Alcohol linked to oral problems llfLOISUIWI Contributing Editor LCOHOLabuse,alonea detriment to health, appears to lead to periodontal disease, tooth decay and mouth sores that are potentially pre-cancerous. Researchen in the School of Dental Medicine, in a pilot study of the oral health of patients in alcohol rehabilitation, found that more th:!n 80 percent of the group had moderate-to-severe gum inflammation, more than two-thirds had heavy A accumulations of dental plaque ~nd nearly 80 percent had decayed teeth. More than one-third had mouth lesions that were potentially pre-cancerous. When asked to rate the oondition of their teeth and mouth, 85.3 percent of participants answered "fair" or"poor." Results of the study were presented last week at the American Association of Dental Research meeting in San Antonio by Marcelo W.B. Araujo, research associate in the Department of Periodontics and Endodontics and the study's lead author. "Persons who abuse alcohol are at his~\, risk of having seriously de· teriorated teeth, gums and compromised ~ health in general," said co-author Sebastian Ciancio, SUNY Distinguished Servia Professor and chair of the Department of Periodontics and Endodontics. "This pilot study shows these members of society are in great need of interventions that help them protect their oral health. In tight of the growing body of evidence showing a significant link betwml oral health and other serious chronic copditions such as cardiovascular disease, periodontal disease in this population represents a substantial publichealth problem.• The study involved 24 men and 10 women who wert patients at a rehabilitation center for alcohol· abuse in Buffalo. Participants agreed to provide information on dental-hygiene habits, additional lifestyle behaviors and demographic cha:racteristics, and to submit to a dental uamination. Araujo used the following indicators to assess participants' oral health: presence of plaque; gum inflammation; number of decayed, missing and filled teeth (called the DMF index), and number of teeth showing IDSS of enamel. He also examined participants' tongue. checks and palate for signs of mouth sores and lesions. Resul!S showed that 82.3 percent of the study group had moderateto -st:V~re gum inflammation and 70.6 percent showed a heavy accumulation of plaque. Fifteen percent of participants had missing teeth, while 41 pen:ent of existing te¢1 showed signs of enamel erosion. More than one-third of participants-35.3 percent-had potentially pre-ancerous lesions in their moutlu, a rate much higher than in the general population of the U.S., Araujo said. In addition, 79.4 percent of participants had at least one decayed tooth, with an ...,..ge of3.2 decayed teeth per indivi!lual Based on these findings, re -. srarchers are planning 10 conduct a larger study of oral health among alcoholics and to drvelop rational measures for prrventing oroaJ disease in this pop ulation. Additional authon on the study were Kurt Dermen, senior research scientist in UB's Research Institute on Addictions (RIA ); Gerard Connors, RIA director, and Dennis Ulonde, an RIA research associate.

Program aids computer skills e The term "cllglhl ciMcle" is increasingly used by educaton to de- scribe the economically divisive effect that the Internet and associated technologies have had on U.S. sociery and the global communiry. In order to close this divide and actually level the playing field for everyone. a number of rducationaJ and skills-training programs have evolved. One of them is the Cisco Networking Academy Program, a public-private partnership involving Cisco Systems, rducationaJ institutions, NGOs and govemmr.rits that t~ach students how to design, build and maintajn computr.r networks. It was developed to introduce local public-school students to the professional atmosphere of a conference, as well as 10 allow them the opportuniry to expand their technical knowledge while networking with their peers. Cisco Systems and ·UB's Center for Applied Technologies in Education (CATE), which has been a Cisco Regional Academy since 1999, presented their second an nual Student Networkers' ConfC"rrn"cc on Tuesday in the flyatt Regency Buffalo. More than 100 students, teachers, administrators and ·Cisco Systems engineers partU:ipated in the event, which was sponsored in part by the Buffalo Public Schools and Buffalo Prep Tech, a career-path program linking secondary and post-secondary schools with business and industry to prepare today's students for tomorrow's careen. The program began with a keynote address by John Kittrell, Northeast regional manager for Cisco. The keynote was followed by four technical breakout sessions conducted by Cisco engineers and other highly skilled presenten. Participants had the opportunity to attend all sessions, which addressed such topics as Internet securiry, hubs and routen, IP telephony and the ubiquiry of Internet protocol. A skills competition followed, led by Robert Arrington from Hutch Tech High School. CATE originally supported five local nerworking academies, but now serves 14 that represent urban, suburban and rural school systems. In addition, theCATE Regional Academy supports local academies within Erie Communiry College and EOC. Today, theCATE region serVes more than 500 students and is continuing to grow.

RIA studies treatment methods Some lncllvlcluals - h alcoholism S«m to benefit more from resi- dential care in their recovery process. Others do very well with outpatient office visits with a counselor or therapisL Definitive knowl- edge for predicting who does best in each of these two very different treatment settings, however, has eluded treatment provide"rs. UB researchers have r=Md a $2.3 million grant from the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism to study bow and wby different levds of care work for dilfermt people with akobol problems. Members of a research team led by Robert G. Rychtarik, a senior research scientist in UB's Research Institute on Addictions (RIA) and research associate professor of psychology and psychiatry, will build on their prior clinical research on optimum treatment setting< for alcoholics by' extending it into real-world communiry treatment settings. The study is being conducted in collaboration with the Erie Counry Medical Center's (ECMC) Division of Chemical Dependency, Downtown Outpatient Clinic and Inpat ient Rehabilitation Prog~am s. Robert B. Whitney, UB clinical assistant professor of family medicine and psychiatry, and clinical director of ECMC's Division of Chemical Dependency, is a co-investigator on the prOject. Other coinvestigators include RIA research scientist Neil B. McGillicuddy and Gerard J, Connors, director of RIA and professor of psychology. "This study should offer alcoholism-treatment providers insigh~ into the most r.fficient and effective client-place.m rnt criteria, Rychtarik says. "The results could have implications for level-of-care decisions made by p<11tment providen, clinical-care guidelines established by policymaken and the overall provision of more costeffC"ctive alcoholism treatment." �Res~ 4 a...._ llilrdi28J0031VD1.3Uo.17 SOM group to hike the Gr•nd C•nyon from South Rim to North Rim In M•y B RIEFLY Students to present "A Cholvs Une~ Tho Dopomlent o l - & Dana ... pr-... student production ol .,., Chorus Uno" April ).6 ond Apl1 ().13 In tile Drama tile c.nter for tlleAm.-'-'>Tho"-wll goon at a p.!fl. on Th<ndays.

"Right alitt a lire, landslides. avalanches and mud flows are not un rommon; he explained,"because the upper layer of the soil may become water-repellant and i>rnost vulnerable to being washed away by increased runoff from rainfall or snow melt.. This surface runoff, he added, can be anywhere from 10 to 100 times greater than in an undisturbed forest, potentially threatening camp and rtereation sites, residentiaJ areas and drinking-water sources. "Ideally, in order to reduce this risk, watershed managers need .to quickly plan and implement soil and water co n servation measures," Renschler said ... But determining which areas a~ most vulnerable to damage has been a tedious and labor-intensive process." Typically, Burned Area Emergency Rehabilitation teams ar< dispatched into the field to determine thedistri· bution of sevneiy burned areas and to evaJuate watersheds at risk.

"Smart growth'' advocate to offer expertise to Buffalo ~ Urban and regional planner Gerrit]. Knaap is 2003 Clarkson Vtsiting Chair in UB archi~re school By PATWICIA DONOVAN Contributing Editor CROSS the nation, there is increasing concern that o ur comm unities are· growing the wrong way- the "dumb'" way. As gree n space disap pears and our farmlands are ea ten up with sprawling residential and commercial developments that lack beauty or sense of place, our cities and older suburbs A arc being depleted of population and their growth stilled. "Smart growth" ls the r-ational buzzwo rd for principles of regional growth and planning that arose' in re· sponse to the coi:tsequences of urban sprawl. As Buffalo and Erie County begin debating regionalization, the principles of smart growth must be considered if ...., want to makt our many commun~ties healthier. more pleasant places to live. Smart growth is a wildly popular con· cept among groups as disparate as real estate de\'dopen and environmentalists, ~u t as the phrase slips into popular usage, urban planners say its meaning is becoming increasingly un· dear. This. they say, is·because special interests sometimes at· tempt to promote their own, often completely self-interested, goals by feigning an interest in smart growth. Distinguished urban and regional planner Gerrit ). Knaap, .one of the nation's experts on the to pic~ will clarify the mean· ing and application in this region of the concept of sman growth when he visits Buffalo this month as the 2003 Clarkson Chair in Urban and Regional Planning in the School of Ar· chitecture and Plandng. Knaap will spend theweek ofMarch 31 -April4 at the school, where he will participate in a research colloquium,severol stu· dent seminars, a facul ty research roundtable discussion and three public discussioll5---<l!l on the subjecl of smart growth. Additional events are scheduled to introduct Knapp and smart growth to as many interested community members, busipcss people and elected officials as possible. The events are: • April 2: "The SprawVSmart Growth Debate: Initiating a Dialogue Between Research and Practice; an invitational breakfust discussion to be held from 8:30-10:30 a.m. at the Bulfalo-Niagara Partnership. 665 Main SL, Buffalo. • April 3: "Moving ·s~rt Growth' Beyond Ideology: Toward a Scientific Foundation for Urban Design," the School of Architecture and Planning's Oarkson VISiting chair Lee· ture, scheduled for 5:30p.m. in 301 Crosby Hall, South Cam· pus.

Sheffer ll, director of the lnsti· tute for Local Govemantt and Regional Growth, 5:30 p.m., Rockwell Hall, Buffalo State College. Several noted urban planners and political figures will address the question of whether or not Western Nnv York can grow "sman." Free of charge and open to the public. This panel discussion will open the traveling exhibition "Smart Growth and Choices for Change" at the BuldtfieldPenney Art Center in Rockwell Hall. The show summarizes a three-year, four·part exhibition series at the National Building Museum that examined the history and consequences of sprawl and smart gn;wth as an alternative approach to devel· opment, and looks at projects designed and accomplished according 10 its principles. Knaap is a professor of urban studies and planning and the director of the National Center fo r Sman Growth Research and Educa tion at the University of Maryland, whose more than $40 million in research doUars comes from a number of federal. state and local agencies, incl uding the ational Sci· enct> Founda tion. He is also faculty associate in the IJncoln Institute of Land Polley in Cambridge. Mass. Smart growth roughly translates into the planned results of statutes related to urban' land use, patterns of eoonomic and social dt;velopmenL It suggests limiting sprawl in order to shorten oommuting times, relieve traffic amgcstion, limit the need for new infrastructure, ~ green spaa and make urban metropolitan areas livable. Samina Raja, assistant professor of urban and regional planning at US. has undertakm a study of smart growth development in the U.S. and says the term's meaning is vague to most, which is both an advantage and a disadvantage.

Description An account of the resource The UB <em>Reporter</em> began publication on January 22, 1970, a time of tumult at the University. It succeeded the newsletter, <em>Colleague</em>, and to this day, serves as the official source for "in house," internal news. The first issue included an editorial, "Why The Reporter?" explaining the rationale for the newspaper: <br /><blockquote> <p>The feeling was that the University lacks a sense of community—that communication is too helter-skelter—that too many groups feel alienated, apart. Somehow, it was felt, if these groups—faculty, student and staff—could come together on the commons and share their concerns and ideas, their activities, their aspirations and whatever else they have to offer, community and communications would result…But it will not produce instant community. Each of us will have to work toward that goal.</p> </blockquote> <br />The Reporter ceased print production in May 2009 when it became an online only publication; in Spring 2016 it became a daily publication.  The Reporter was re-named UB Now in Spring 2016.

These .. include individual, group and couples cou nseling, as well as psychiatric services, crisis response, career counseling, substance abuv. assessment , psychological evalua· tion, psychoeducationa~ skill· building workshops for the entire · .campus community, consultations services for faculty and staff, and referral. We also offer extensive training at the graduate level. Our center is accredited by the Ameri· can Psychological Association as a pre-doctoral psychology intern ship site for which we recruit can· didates from acroSs the co untry and Canada. We also are an in· ternship site for the School of Social Work and We offer beginning and advanced practicum training for. UB's Counseling, School and Educational Psychology program. Why Is then • stlgm• IObout ~lng counseling? It is difficult for some people to seek out psychological services. Historically, counseling was seen as something somewhat mystuious and shameful. This is unfortunate, as courueling can be a great assistance'to sbme peOple. I think that over the past decade or so, people arc Qe<ommg increasingly aware that seeking out support for mental health concerns is not a shameful thing, but can be an im portant part of an overaiJ w~llness approach to life. Ours is a culture of'"rugged individualism"' and to seek out help from a professional for something that may be inti· mate and very personal can be felt as shameful, or even as a perso!aJ "failure." There also can be cultural influences in this as well, as not all cultural belief systems will understand or value self-reflection and personal growth in the same manner as someone from the West may understand it. The reasons for stigma can be many and varied, and we attempt to address each person's concerns about this uniquely. Wh•t are the most frequent problems that s-tudents brtng to Counseling Services? Counseling Services works with students presenting with a full spectrum of concerns, from devel· opmental issues to severe psychopathology. The most common issues students bring to counseling include relationship concerns and conflicts (e.g.,' dating, friendships, family) , life direction questions (e.g., decisions about career and major) , low self-confidence, puzzling Qr di stressing emotional states, self-defeating behaviors, controlling the use of alcohol and drugs, studying more effectively and sauaJ-identity concerns. lhterestingly, many of the questions that students bring to us are actu· aUy widely experienced by other G students, but because of the stigma attached to counseling, studen~ do not always share with their peers the personal conurru they are having. As a result, the student's distress becomes his or her own secret, be or she believes no one else is in counseling and that he or she is the only one experiencing such a problem. We offer an extensive group counseling program-approximately a third of our clients participate in one of Our groups-and it is there that many students break through the secrecy and find they are not alone with their struggles. This discovery of similarity with others often reduces the intensity of the struggle itself. Are your services av•ll•ble to fKUity •nd suff7 While we do not offer counseling services to UB faculty and staff, we do offer consultation serviCes to faculty and staff. For example, we can assist faculty and staff with how to approach a student in distress or assist a department after a crisis has occurred. More informa tion about such services can be found at our Web site at <http:/I ub· counsellng.buffalo .edu / refenlllgulde.shtml> .

School of Management will be named in honor of MarySue French of Strongsville, Ohio, who has made a gift of$75,000 to the school. " h 's very important to me th at our undergraduates have a first -class place where they can work'with each other and netwo rk," said French, who remembers sitting in the base~ ment of Crosby Hall on the South Campus when she was a student at Ull."Developing soft skills is such J critical part of the management ed ucation process and I hope that the undergraduate mezzanine will provide an atmosphere that is conducive to doing so." Construction of the AJfiero Center will begin this sp~ng. The 23.000-square-foot, thre<-story fa- T cility will be the first, largely privatedonor-supported building on the UB campus. and one of only a few in the SUNY system. The undergraduate mezzanine on the second Door of the new center, like an MS.A mezzanine on the third floor, wiU overlook the building's multi-story atrium.

In 1998, she joined the school's Dean's Advisory Council. French has remained in contact with many of her professors.. whose lessons she still values. She recalled a time when a test was returned to her with an error that, if co rrected, would lowe< her grade. When she told the professor, he lowered her grade. but lauded her for· her ethics and integrity. According to Diane Dittmar, assistant dean of undergraduate programs, the number of undergradu· ales in the School of Management has nearly doubled in the past four year.;. "Thanks to the philanthropy . of people like Mary.Sue French. the space we have for our undergraduates is expanding with the popula· tion ," Dittmar said. "Undergradu:ltesarean integral pan of the School of Management and having n dedi cated area to call their own will help · them know that we think so." french's gift is part of a Sl6million cnmpaign for the School of Management, which centers on construction of new facilities and programs to suppon the studenlS and co nstituents of the school.

Farmers get rid of manure in an environmentaUy responsible way, by turning it into fertilizer for their fields or those of other fann~rs. But deep in those piles of dung lie not just beneficial, organ!c matter, but the residues of antibiotics used to promote growth in ~vestock and to treat their dlscases. How much of these antibiotics ends up in the environment, and thus could potentially alter microbial ecosystems in humans., animals and the environment is the focus of ~h being conducted by Diana Aga, as· sistant professor of chemistry. "A lot of research is done to Study how antibiotics used in hum an medicine result in the development of resistance in microo rganisms," explained Aga, "but how about microbial resistance due to exposure to ant ibiotics in the environ ment ?" She explain<'<~ that people may be 1nfected by res1stant pathogem 111 the em·iro nment through dircCI cont:\ct or by indirect means, sm:h as th rough the food supply. Aga is one of a handful of scientists in the world looking at the qucs· tion from a unique vantage point, taking into consideration the com· plete journey made by animal anti· biotics and their met:lbolites from the barnyard to the crop field and, pos· sibly, to supp~es of drinking water. While others examine the desti· nation of antibiotics, such as levels found in rivers and groundwater, those studies do not distinguish bctw~n antibiotics excreted by animals or humans., Aga explained. "Direct evidence that links antibi· otic use in animal production and resistan<:e in bacteria that inkct humans is lacking." she said. "We are only now beginning to do the studies that will be able to address that issue." She noted that govunment agen · cies,such as the USDA and the FDA. are being pressured hy environmentalisls to ban the usc: of Jn tibiotJ(S as growth promoters m animals. "But there are a lot of economic 1ssues to consider before taking that s1ep," Ag.a.pointed out. \-vhen drugs are administered t6 animals, as much as 50 percent or more is not metabolized and is excreted by the animal int:act,she said. "So when manure is used to fcrtil · ize fields, you're now exposing the microorganisms in the soil to low lev· els of these drugs. creating the per· feet conditions for selectively prolif· crating resistant bacteria," she said. " In our. studies of swine and cattle manure, we found between 5 ppb (pans per billion) and 20.000 ppb of tetracycline, which is really high," said Aga. 1hracydine is used as a growth promoter in pigs. Aga noted thatleve.ls of antibiot· ics in animals vary, depending on the stage of life. "For example, when a pig is al· most ready for slaughter, the use of antibiotics is curtailed to ensure that the meat is not contaminated with antibiotics," she said. Aga is framin g her findings in terms.of how farmers can mini- mize th e potential for the devel opment of resi~1ant bug) in fertilized soil. Her finding.o, so far confirm other results that have identified loomy soils as those that can be safely applied with fertilizer. "The sandier soils are not good candidates for fertilizing with ma· nure that may be contaminated with antibiotics ba:ausc tht antibiotics could leach easily before they can break down suflicienlly. " But that's not the -case with loamier soils," she said. "In fact, af· ter rwo weeks., we have seen as much ~ as 50 percent degradation." According to Aga, if antibiotics degrade quickly in the field, they will not liUiy pose a problem. ..Our work is focused on understanding the fate, l.ransport and <Cotoxicological impacts of antibi· otic residues in tht environment," she said. "We hope to offer funda · mental knowledg< that could be used as a lJ;osis for developing man· agement practico: and polides that could prevent contamination of soil and aquatic systems.· �5 Bridging the digital divide Software tOols boost Web access to indian-language documents aYEUBI ~ Contributing Ediox>r O, you S think scarchins for thinp in EngliJh on the lnlmlet io frustr.uins1 WeU, try .searching for documents writtm in ancient Sanskrit, modem Hindi and any of doz. ens of Indian and South Asian Jan. guaga that are bas<d on the beautiful, intricate symbols of the Devanagari script. .

Adhesive called less heat resistant BY JOHN OEUA CONTliADA Contributing Ed1t0f HE adhesive~bonding method used to secure hea t- resistant cera mic tiles to the body of the Space Shut~< Columbia is known for its inability to wi thstand high tempera tures and sho uld not be used exclusively in the construction of new space shuttles, according to a US materials engineer. "Ceramic tiles are brittle,..., using both the tiles and the adhesive bond creates a situation that is prone to malfunction and rould spell trouble." says Deborah D.Chung. Niagara Mohawk PmfessorofMaterials Rtsearch in the School of Engineering and Applied Sciences and director of UB's Composite Materials Rtsearch Laboratory. In the case of Columbia, Chung speculates that cracked or missing tiles would have exposed adhesive silirone bonds to very high tenlperaThis would cause the ~egrnda­ tion of the bonds and the loss of more T '\res. tiles---e.xposmg the s.hun.le body to ('xtrcmely high temperatures. ''Very often in scientific n"SC"".trch wr tend not to emphasize issues that are considered mundane or less dazzJing technologically, like a bond." she says_ "But so often it's the seemingly mundane tl1itw that kill the project. In the case of the American Airlines Airbus crash in~ (in 2001 ), a simple fustener was the culpri~ in the Challenger shuttle case, it was the O, ring. I think there's a lesson here to learn." Chung says there are more heatresistant ways to connect tiles to the shunle body. Bra1ing, which is like soldering except th at it involves higher temperatures, creates joints able to withstand temperatures as high as 1000 degrees Fahrenheit. In contrast, adhesives joints can only withstand much lower tempera· tures-around 250 degrees. Brazing, however, is a moreexpen· sive and involved process than adhesion. This could be a reason that it wasn't used lOr Columbia. Chung says. Chung also suggest> that NASA consider using a tnuch higher proportion of carbon-ca rbon compos· ites, in place of aluminum, to con· struct the shuttle's airframe. Car· bon·carbon composi te materials. which were in their infancy when Columbia was built about 20 years ago, are now weU-d<Vcloped. They are much more heat resistant than aJuminum and are considertd to 00 the best material a.:.Oilable today for high -temperature, ligh tweigh t structures, she says. ldeaUy, according to Chung. fu. ture shut~e bodies should be del'iigncd as a single .. monolithic piece." with gradient change in composi tion and in function across th e thickness of the body. Thermal-insulation function couJd be at one end of the gradient and structural function could be at the other end. ..

Jemi.son, who, as a member of the Endeavour crew in 1992 wos pan of the first shuttle team tp !Ty after the Challenger disaster in 1986, was at her home in Houston when she first . heard of NASA's loss of communication with Columbia on Feb.

Since ht'T rt"[iremeru from ASA in 1993, Jemison has established two technology compa nies.. as wcll as org.,nizcd .tnd participated in philanthropic\'Cllt\lro. in Africa and the U.S. Her pa~tons--fostering l!Cit'nce lileracy 111 the U.S. and the imporlance of scientific and technological advancement, as well as space exploration-were the focus of her lecture. She told the audience how she, as a "young, black girl growing up in the I%0s" on Olicago's South Side. alw.tys assumed that she would have the opportunity to go into space. As a' child, Jemison said she spent time lying on the ground on a summer's night staring up into space. " I could see myself there. I knew that I belonged there. " I had to learn very early not to limit myself due to others' limited imaginations. I have learned these days never w limit anyone dse due to my own limited imagination," Jemison said, adding that she ~lad parents who instilled "'lf-confi· dencc in her and a mother who, as a sch09l ..,.cher, pushed Jemison to ~ not just science-oriented, but weU-rounded .in her education. Science literacy, said Jemison, is about everyone being able to. rrad a health care-related article in the newspaper, being able to understand it and how it applies to our lives, and bdng informed enough to vote on the issue. ~Science is investigated, engineering is advanced, technology is dl"\·el· oped and education isoffered.based on the will of the public. And that will depends directly on how well society and its leaders understand the pivotal role science and tech· nology, research and poticy, play in our <V<Oryday and who partici· pates in making these decisions .. she pointed out uv;. " I truly beJi..., that 60-70 percent of all the problems w. face in the world today, and will face in the ycus to come, have at the base of their solution scienre and technology, and the other 30 percent of the solutions are going to be random chana or pure luck," ocplained )<mison. To be a good citiun in a participotory democracy, the pubtic must realize it is a stakeholder in th""' kinds of issues, :OOted Jemison. Moreover, she believes it ~im.J>Or­ tant for eve:ryone to have a vision of the world and rulize that theyAmericans· especially-have the freedom 10 decide who and what they _;,ill bed,me and that their decisions, unconsciously or consciously,shapethe future. And in the process of expanaing human frontiers, risks are inVoh'ed and taking those risks i~ a nOble act, .. not just an adrenaline juhki~'s d.rearil." It ;,'a fallacy;she said, to think lhat nothing will go wrong in ihe effon to extend hWThlil presencr into space. "We're fighting for human advance· ment, to mo~ the world ahtad. for the advancement of hum~n his· tory--exploration always invol~ risk." Jemison said, reminding the audiencr of the achievements of Galileo and Columbus. which ofion came amid gmt p<r>Onal jeopardy. �Mardr&, 212A'u1.34.11.18 IIepa.._ 7 UB Faculty and Staff for Peace oppose U.S.-led war on Iraq To the EcltAir. We, the undtrsigned facUlty and staff of the University at Buffalo. strongly oppose another United States-led war on Iraq for the following reasons: • Another war on Iraq, especially one begw) with a barngt of mir siles designed to avoid AmeriCan casualties, will cause the desth of numerovs innocent Iraqi men, women and children and will destroy what remains ofthe social fab- ric and physical infrutructure of that country. The sustained military operations required to occupy Iraq, especially those requiring urban combat, will result in extensive casualties among the men and women of the U.S. armed forces. • No convincing evidence has yet been provided that Iraq possesses weapons of m·ass destruction or the capacity or intention to use them against its neighbors or the United Sta tes. If and when such evidence is forthcoming, the U.S. should coopera te with the United atipns to dismantle such weapons tn a res ponsible manner, no t through exlcnsive bombing cam- paigns that will poison the land, water and air of the region. • Any preemptive u.s. military actiori apinst Iraq, including enforcement of no-Oy mnes, without a Co~ declaration of war and U.N. Security Council authorization, is unconslitulional and c'ontraryto internaqonallaw. It undermines the l<gitimacy of even worthy American tp>a1s in international affairs and t<ts back the cause of therule of law in the world. • Another war on Iraq, especially one lacking the full support of NATO and other allies, will quiddy divide and- polarize the American people. It will be ruinously expensive in a lime of growing government deficits and a weak economy, and set back efforts to dtal with domeslic soc:ial needs. • The fundamental problems leading to endemic tension and conlinuing violence in the Middle East · can and should be resolved through negotiationsamongthepartiesconcerned or through unilateral actions that address the root causes of conflict. For example, Israel should · agreetotermina!<!settlementsin\he occupied territories in return for an end to terrorist attacks and recognition of Israel's right to exist in peace. The U.S. should withdraw its forces from Saudi Arabia and the Pmian Gulf, ~g one majo< reason furescalalingassaultson U.S. penonnel in the region and on the U.S. people at home. • U.S. dependence on imported oil has cfutorted our foreign po~cy and put our economy at risk, while increased <xploitation of domestic oil threatens the envirolUJl!'llL The U.S. should radically reduce its pil consumption through concerted programs of energy conservation, the development of renewable sources ofenergy and the expansion of public transportation_ The United States stands at a major turning point--facing imperial overreach and increased isolation among the nations of the world on the one hand, and democratic procedures that can once again make the.repub~c a model for a more just and peacdul world, on th• other. Another war in Lraq will mean choo_sing empire over democracy. Signatures added to this letter before March 13 will be included in copies that will be sent to elected officials.

Description An account of the resource The UB <em>Reporter</em> began publication on January 22, 1970, a time of tumult at the University. It succeeded the newsletter, <em>Colleague</em>, and to this day, serves as the official source for "in house," internal news. The first issue included an editorial, "Why The Reporter?" explaining the rationale for the newspaper: <br /><blockquote> <p>The feeling was that the University lacks a sense of community—that communication is too helter-skelter—that too many groups feel alienated, apart. Somehow, it was felt, if these groups—faculty, student and staff—could come together on the commons and share their concerns and ideas, their activities, their aspirations and whatever else they have to offer, community and communications would result…But it will not produce instant community. Each of us will have to work toward that goal.</p> </blockquote> <br />The Reporter ceased print production in May 2009 when it became an online only publication; in Spring 2016 it became a daily publication.  The Reporter was re-named UB Now in Spring 2016.

Matthew Weigand, director of New Student Programs, notes that the program attempts to get studen ts to think about what they want to get out of their college expedence.

II, 2001, and the resulting war on terrorism have put at risk the great promise and benefits of inter· national educational exchange, fune Norooha,a leader in the 6cld of in· tcrnational education, 10IJ a UB audie-nce nn Feb. 12. "Tht.• t.-vcntsofSept. I I and it~ aftermath hJvc been earthshaking fo r our country" said Noronha, who is assodate dean of multicultural edu· cation at the College of St. Catherine in St. Paul, Minn., and past· prcsi· dent of NAFSA: Association of In· ternational Educators, the largest or· ganization of international edtu.·a· tors in the world. T "Mer that horrific attack, discus· sion inevitably focu.sed on reducjng and tightening entry to the United States. Suddenly, everyone was under scrutiny and legislatiV< reform was unavoiclablc. The challenge was not to demonize entire communities and countries, and to separate out those with honi!st intentions who respect and appreciate this country.'' International students and schol· ars, in particular, have bc.~en singled out for special sc rutin y. Ooted Noronha. "lmmediatcl}' after 9/11. the government and th e media linked the I9 hij ackers tn international students, even though only one entered the coun t ~· on a stu· dent visa,'' she said. Of the 30 miUion visitors to the United States, only 2 percent are in· ternational students, yet the first debates and legislation following Sept_ I I centered on international students, despite the fact that they already are the most closely scruti nized category of non -immigrant visitors to the U.S., she said. "Inaccurate and alarmist rhetoric, which coiltinues today, obscures the indisputable reality that foreign stu· dents are overwhelmingly a net ~­ set for U.S. security and the most under·appreciated success of U.S. foreign policy-not to mention the important cultural, educational, and economic benefits for communities across the cou ntry," Noronha said. ''It is remarkable how much those of us who work in intemationaledu· C"J.tion believe that international mo~ bilil}' is a core issue ·for U.S. public.,..-- policy, and those in tbe blcnl ypvemrnent see it as a ~one. or for that marler, howlittletbegmeral public even ltnows about tbe issue." Noronha, who was invited to speak at UB as part of a lecture series organized by the Council on International Studies and Programs and co-sponsored by the Oilier of the Vice Provost for International Education, pointed out that inter· national students: • Bring an international dimension to American campuscs.chmge the way courses are taught a.ncfcn ~ large the under>tanding that U.S. stUdents bring to issues • Take with them to their home co unt ries an exposure to American values, culture and society, wbidt es c.-.__ - ,.,.. 1 �lllelolllllo -.........o:Or- Lorraine Oak is associate dean for r~rch administration in the College of Arts and Sciences and chair of the Canadian-American Studies Committee ....... ~ u. ~ ....,..- ....__. . ........,.,_. , ._... ......... - ...

The Uni ted Statts sells almost three times as many goods to Canada as to Japan, and Canada is a larger markrt for O.S. goods than aU 15 membtrs of the European Union combined. From the Buffalo- Niagara puspective, we are located at one of the busiest international crossings in the world. About 30 percent of the total Canada-U.S. trade crosstS here.

We share the Great Lakes, and their stewardship. We share many common elements of history, values and aspirations. We will share · whatever the future holds. Thus, UB is at a major crossroads from an in ternational, national andregional perspective. Along with this special opportunity comes an obHgation that the Canadian American Studies Committee works to fulfiU. What types .of octiYitles Is the committee lnvoiYed In 1 The committ~ is involved in encouraging, supporting and promoti ng the study and understanding of Canada. Once each kmts· ter, the committee sponsors a competitive small-grants program from which UB faculty·and gradu- ate students request funding to support Canada-focused pro· grams and projects. The present application deadline is April 14, and we encourage application from all disciplines. An exciting .recent development has been the establishment of a formal student eXchange relationship with the CoUoge of Arts and Science at the University ofToron10. UB's Study Abroad Programs Office welcomes applications from juniors and seniors until March I. I hope that our students will take advan· tage of this wonderful opportunity. We have also ju.s1 announced a student poster competition with the theme .. Crossing Borders" and a deadline of April 28.

Harnady &om the holdings of UB's Poetry and Rano Books Collection is being exhibited in the Grolier Club in New York City, the oldest and largest society for book lovers in the United States. The Grolier Club's "Walter Harnady & The Perishable Press ltd.: A Retrospective Exhibition {1964-2002)" opened yesterday and will run through April 26. It io curated by Robert Bertholf, curator of the Poetry and Rare Books Collection. The exhibit features several books handmade by Hamady, including titles by poets Paul Blackburn, l-awrence Ferlinghetti and Robert Creeley, Samuel P. Capen Professor of Poetry and the Humanities, and SUNY Distinguiohed Professor in the UB _Department of English.j Noted for its fine handmade paper, diotinguiohed typography and unique colophons, Harnady's Periohahle)'ress challenged tr.iditional notions of the book. Over the years, his press has produced a body of work highly sought after by collectors-books prized for their meticulous and complex physical structures, quirkiness and inventiv:e coUaborations between typesetter, binder and illustrator. "Hamady's books are as much works of art as they are unique printed texts," explains Bertholf. .. They represent the very best in handmade papermaking and printing." Hamady established his Perishable Press ltd. in 1964 at htS l!ome in Mount Horeb, Wis. , where he still continues the process ot pa· permaking, printing an d binding of boo ks. UB's Hamady holdings consist of more than 130 books acquired by the Poetry and Rare Books CollectiOn. which is renown ed for its James Jo\'Ce, Robcn Gra\'es and \A/illiam Culos \Villiams collections. . �.., Skolnick and colleagues are trying to reduce lead time for development of new drugs BRIEFLY Pursuing personalized medicine at UB _........,__ .... _______ cndt-'"""""" D coiwldlho-EOPwlns~ Tho-~ Prognom (JOr) altho Cenl8r for __ -ai-- lng one altho "'P- non- In hi!;ler - I n tho nodon. ~-- .... ........, fet~llld- Sumnw ....... lor .. 2002 Ill tho--~ (NMSS) ..... n.--~impor- odo··----- CUIIICIIUII dMiopmont ond ........ ~ond llnlng _ . . _ 10 tho _ _ ................. al ................ ..-.but_...., ....

"Ultimately, we're trying 10 reduce the lead lime for drug devtlopment, not for one molecule or a few, but for hundreds or even thousands," Skolnick explains. Research at the center focusa on predicting the struellm of proteins of a certain size, smaller than a couple hundred amino acids, and figuring out how they fit into the amazingly complex biology of normal function and disease. "Even if each sim ulation of each protein took five days of computer time and even if you're looking at just 14,000 pro.tein structures (the small proteins in the human genome), then you' u talking about 70,000 days-or more than 190 years to Ptcdkt protein structure on a single computer processor," says Skolnick.

Description An account of the resource The UB <em>Reporter</em> began publication on January 22, 1970, a time of tumult at the University. It succeeded the newsletter, <em>Colleague</em>, and to this day, serves as the official source for "in house," internal news. The first issue included an editorial, "Why The Reporter?" explaining the rationale for the newspaper: <br /><blockquote> <p>The feeling was that the University lacks a sense of community—that communication is too helter-skelter—that too many groups feel alienated, apart. Somehow, it was felt, if these groups—faculty, student and staff—could come together on the commons and share their concerns and ideas, their activities, their aspirations and whatever else they have to offer, community and communications would result…But it will not produce instant community. Each of us will have to work toward that goal.</p> </blockquote> <br />The Reporter ceased print production in May 2009 when it became an online only publication; in Spring 2016 it became a daily publication.  The Reporter was re-named UB Now in Spring 2016.

"With this work, we have taken a crit ical step toward inhibiting quorum sensing for clinical applications," said Hiroak.i Suga, associate professor of chemistry and co rresponding author on the paper. Quorum sensing is the process by which bacterial cells"sense"that their numbers have reached a certain level, Suga explained, so that they then can mount an effective attack. The pro· cess gets switched on, he-said. in response to the autoinducers thai accumulate in bacterial cells as they begin reproducing. Once the cells "se nse., that a quorum has b'een reached, they begin to communicate, a proass that, in tum, .. throws the switch" for manufacturing virulence fac tors, such as biofilms. These tough, layered, polysac· charide shells provide the bacteria with a nearly impenetrable, self-protective mechanism th at makes it extremely difficult, and in some cases' impossible, to fight with antibiotics. " Unde rn eath the protective biofilm . the cells are happily repro· clueing, damaging the tissue and producing toxin s," said Suga. Based on the structure of the quo· rum -sensing molecule, th e autoinducer, the VB team synthesized a library of compounds. 1his approach then allowed the scientists to discover a subset of molecules that, like the natural autoiDduczr, activate quorum smsing. "We then synthesiz.ed a small, focused library -of quorum-sensing agonists," said Suga. "Swpris· ingly, this focused library yielded a quon.im-st.nsing antagonist.• " It has been shown that knod<· out of the quorum·smsingi'J'D"S in P. a£rUginoSil sighificantly reduced its virulena,so thisa:ll-to-all axnmunication processis aninkR:Sti.ng new drug ta'l:et," he said.

Indeed, it is a challenge to higher education itself. The words of John Hockenberry stick with me that Americans with disabilities live in the ftrst world but live like third worlders in that they cannot count on the infrastructure to support their n~cls or on their government to defend their rights. A5 the greatest of all manufacturers of American cUlture, higher educatio~ is challenged to train its graduates to desigrl and live in a disability-inclusionary world. No sector of society has the greater potential to change bow. disaJ1ility is viewed in society and responded to by society than bas higher education. High~r education has brought unparalle.led forces to bear on attempting to cure disability, but bas yet to do much that can justifiably l?e called significant toward educating people with disabilities or educating society about the true nature of disability as a fundamental feature of life, affecting everyone, rather thiUl as a personal tragedy affecting primarily those whom it afflicts and their loved oqes. One professional and three clericals in a tiny Offiao of Disability Services cannot mttt that challenge for the univtrsity or for the greater community in the university'• behalf.

Trevisan is an internationally recognized researcher in t.he epidemiology and prevention of cardiovascular disease. .. This is a very exciting time for all of us," Trrvisan said. "We look forward to creating an environment where health professionals and others interested in health tr ain and conduct research through an integrated approach. which will focus on the determ inants of health and disease in the population and the forces that shape ~nd influence the quality and dtlivery of health care. "Our approach," he added, "is based on the notion that ' health' is not merely the absence of disease, but that health and human function are seen as a continuum: from the cellular levtl, to organ function , to activity performance, to role performance, to effects on community and community health policy."

Results of the study, published in Lhe current issue of Alcoholism: <;:liniccd and Experimental RtWJrch, were surprising, sajd Christopher T. Sempos, professor of social and preventive medkine and lead author on the study. "Our findings indicate that African Americans drank on IIVttll!!" significantly higher quantities per drinking day than other groups studied, even though their average volume of drinking was not higher." While this type of drinking pattern might be expected to lessen the protective effect of tight-to-moderate alcohol consumption, finding no protective effect at '311 Was unexpected, Sempos said. "The important message to take from these findings is that a habit of binge drinking or heavy drinking on a single day is risky to your health." Most studies of the relationship between alcohol consumption and death from all causes show that moderate drinkers-those who consume approximately seven drinks per week-have a lower risk of death than abstainers, and heavy drinkers have a higher risk than eithor group. This"J-shaped"pattem B ha.t been fouod in various races and ethnic groups. Sempos noted. Such Sludies base their findings on "'average"' alcohol consumption. which assumes a consistent pattern, Sempos said. "If you average seven drinks per week, you oould have one drink per day, but you also could have seven drinks in one day. Most information on average intake obscures this fact ... .., .................. ....... to Atrk.o _ _ lt.._ ..................... !>lnge-...11-.;, OIIUSTOPttER SEMP05 Knowing that drinking patterns among African Americans have been shown to be. more extreme than those of white drinkers, with more abstinenu but a.l.so more OC· casioos of heavy drinking, Sempos and colleagues set out to define the relationship between drinking and death from all causes in a large group of African Americans. The study group wa.o composed of 768 men and 1,286 women between the ages of 25 and 75 who took part in tbe first· National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES), conducted between 1971-75. Original data were compared with follow-up data on mortality collected through 1992. Researchers compared data on volume and frequency of alcohol consumption gathered at baseline with statistics on study-group members who had died during the intervening ,years. Previous re search has indicated that the same volume of aloohol consumption spread over more occasions is linked to less detr:imentaJ outcomes, compared with the same volume spread over fewer occasions, Sempos said. While the average weekly consumption of alcohol was similar in African Americans and whites, the average amount consumed over a 24-hour period wa.o significantly different, with both African American men and women drinking more during a single occasion rom pared to their white counterparu, results showed. "Binge and heavydrinklng is associated with an increase in heart disease mortality, the ·principal cause of death in this age 8roup,• Sempos said. "This problem isn't limited to African Americans. It shows up in culnim in which binge drinking is common. in &ct, '!"see the same thing in Russian men, who are frequent binge drinlcen." Also contnbutiog to the research were Tiejian Wu, Carlos Crespo and Maurizio Trtvisan, all from the UB Department of Social and Preventive Medicine, and )Orgen ~hm from the Centre for Addiction and Mental Healtjl in Toronto.

"Alcohol use and intoxication are perhaps best viewed as only one of ~era! factors that help to create the situation in which partner violence results; PalsStewart said. "'ft is important to recognize that participants in this S!Udy were domestically violent men entering outpatient treatment either for battering or alcoholism. It is unclear how these results would apply io the general population. !n most instances in the greater community, alcohol consumption, even heavy drinking, does not lead to domestic violence. However, the results from this investiga · tion appear to support the no· tion that alcohol use plays some role in the facil.itation of aggres sion in the context of certain marital relationships." Funding for the seven·year study was provided by two grants totaling $4 million from the National Institute on Drug Abuse and S10,000 from Old Dominion University, where Fals-Stewart previously was a faculty lnember. Pals-Stewart's research encompasses marital and family therapy with drug-abusing patients,longtenn outcomes of substance-abuse treatment, and psychological and neuropsychological assessments with drug· ahusing patients.

Among those :iuonding tho march, she notes, were Holocaust survivors and throngs of veterany "Some of the people I felt tb. proudest of were tho w:ts. They wore out in full forct at this peace march. They had their banners, they chanted anti -Bush sentiments," she says. The protest in cluded a largo contingent ofWorld Wa.r n veterans who, Koebel says, were quite elderly but also appeared to be physically very strong. u opposed to some of the Vietnam veterans, who appeared very frail, al though fully engaged in the protest. "I don't think 111 forget tho look on the face of one Vietnam vet who looked like he had been through heU and had survived. It looked like he had just stepped out of the jungle a few hours before. He was extremely gaunt,~ he was one of the main persons carrying a bannor.

That's exactly tho voice they want to ktep obscure from tho public eye; says Koebel, "and they want to push forward the clich~ of tho protestor as the dangerous young man." But at this march wore people from all walks of lifo; " it was strong; it was u nified," she says. Koebel hmelf went to jail as a film-studies major at the University of California, Berkeley in tho 1980s while protesting what she and oth ers viewed as the university's economic involvement in South Africa's apartheid ~e. Much of Koebel's work chal· lenges what she considers tho commercialization of common experionc.es-like being in a relationship or being a young girl coming of age--~ the type of work she does is very far removed from any semblance of commercialism.

"These results show that chronic smoking may suppress hyperactivated motility and tight binding of sperm to the egg, lead ing to r~<!uction in fertility potential,'" said Burkman . .. ln men who smoke, these drugs are continually in contact with the testes, where the sperm are formed. · •Many studie·s have shown that smoking women also tend to have lower ftrtility,' sht added. "This is no surprise, since nicotine and cotinine will be present iit the fluid of their oviduct, where -fertiliz.ation occurs, and the sperm will be affected there. The drugs also will pervade the uterus, where the egg will implant, and tht placenta, which nourishts the embryo.• Burkman noted that a large study conducted in China, where ' sm'61<itrgih~lii'pmt, s~dwed that some heavy smok~rs produced sptrm with damaged ·DNA, which were passed on to the childrtn.

In addition, he said, compounds that inhibit quorum-sensing func· tion differently from traditional an tibiotics by attenuating pathogenicity, and therefore could prove very effective against resistant strains. Suga explaintd that tht quo rum -sensing system is responsible for regulating a number of genes, including those that control the production of virulence faclors. "We now have a synthetic molecule that inhibits the master regufatory gene of quorum sensing," he said . While Pseudomot1as nerugit~osa, which is ubiquitous in hospitals, has no effect on htalthy peoplt, it can be lethal to patients whose immune systems are compromised. In addition to cystic fibrosis patients, whose lungs become clogged with the bacteria, it infects patients receiving chemotherapy, burn patients , AIDS patients, those on ventilators. with cathetersand others. "Tht resistanct probltm dtmands development of a new type of drug. which differs in concept from traditional antibiotics," said Suga. .. Our work demonstrates a new strategy for identifying and designing antagonists to qu o rum sensing," he said . .. We hope that additional studies in this direction lead us to discover even more potent quorum-sensing antagonists, thuS generating a new type of an tibiotic drug."

A study by an internationally recognized communication expttt at· UB, howtver, suggests that the A decades-long tendency toward lnter~et dominance by the United States, Canada and Western Europe may be changing u the regions of lhc world begin to duster into mutual -interest groups. George A. Barnett, professor of communication in the School of Informatics, reports a trend toward de-centralizcd·intematjona1 Internet communications that he says has important implications for lhc understanding of global- ization and' the development of the .. univusal culture"' that has been predicted and feared by lessdominant cultures. His analysis, which examined telecommunication relations among more than I 00 nations from 1978-99, suggests that a postimperialist period is emerging, one marked by incrtased intercommunication among regional neighbors who have similar cultures and eco- Weste"m influence in some re · gards, since communicJ.tion within regional dwtcrs will rdlect lht values and traditions of lhc nation~ in those clusters. It also offcn lhc opportunity ror regional groups to resolve regional problems in Ways more acceptable to !heir mcnthers than if lhcy were imposed from outside, by Norlh American or European powers."' On lhc down side, Barnett says that some regional groups likdy will find lhemselves opposing lhc interests of olher regional groups: His study points to lhc emergence of six international .. civilization dusters" whose members have shared cultures, values and interests. In working to promote their own interests, he says, these groups may co~e into conflict wilh one anolhcr. UnliJa, the controversial predictions of a "dash of civilizations"' made by Harvard profcs.sor Samu~l Huntington. however, Barnett does not think hostilities arc inevitable. He argues that globalization evolves from increa,sing communication between any two points on lhc globe, particularly interaction regarding political, economic and scientific activities. "The kinds of global systems or networks that arise from these international telecommunications tdls w a good deal about lhc position of individual nations both within the int<mational oornmunlly and vis 12 ~one another,"' he says. To understand Qis study, Barnett says it helps to think oflhc world's internet communications system in terms of a radial structure with lhc U.S. and Western Europe near· the center of lhc network. The arms emanating from the center arc composed of groups of countries !hat arc regional neighbors, with the most "'connected• members of each group clustering toward lhc center of lhc wheel, and more marginaliud, or·incommunicado," countries from each cluster at the wheel's periphery. Al though there is communication along lhc arms. !here is none along its rim. Until recently, those communicating from one peripheral nation to anolhcr had to be transmitted through lhc core, where !hey were cxpoud' to, picked up and disseminared Western cultural, economi c and political values in many fonns. It is !hat pattern of international oommunication that Barnett says is changing. The study found that: • There is a significant positive correlation between how central a nation is in the telecommunications network and its gross domestic product. • Since lhc early 1970s, when telccommuni~tion emerged as a public intemabonal communication device, lhc highly industrialized nations of the West were essential-literally central-to any effort to transfer information among the world's nations via the Internet. V'J.rtually any communication from anywhere in lhc world had to go lhrough Web sit~ in lhc high-tech Western nations. • Since lhc 1970s, lhc network has become denser (at a 1'11tc of 1.6 percent per year), more centralized ( I. 9 percent per year) and mo.re highly integrated. ,• Since !he mill'1990s, there bas been a reversal in lhc trend toward cen tralized global communication, precipitated mainly by lhc economic dtvelopment of what had been peripheral nations, lhc end of lhc Cold War and lhe reintegration of Hong Kong into lhc. People's Rq>ublic of China • This change has produced regional network subsystems !hat permit extensive oornmunication among six c ulturally similar groups of nations: the West (United States, France, Canada. Germany, Italy and lhe United Kingdom). Eastern Europe, Latin America, East and Soulh AJia, Africa , lslamiC countries and the former Soviet republics. The study found that lhcse subsy~ms­ mack up of lhc nations arrayed along the spokes of lhc wheelmay be solidifying to .-.present the interests and points of view of lhc civilization groups involved. • The globalization of international communication is taking place at an accelerating rate, but untvdlly-"in spurts" -suggesting !hat network change. instead of being stable and predictable, may become chaotic and structurally unpredictable. The source of this • unpredictability may lie in global economics or changes in political relations brtwem countries--both of which scno< as an impetus for changes in lhc positions of individual c:ounties within this ndWorl<. • Allhough recent discussions in the foreign-policy literature suggest lhatlhc United Sates' role as lhc world's superpower may be on lhc decline. Barnett's results suggest that as the rest of lhc world moves into the information age, lhc U.S. will solidify its position u world leader.

"Eclectic" musicians headline February concerts California EAR Uriit, Kirk Nurock join UB faculty memb.ers Fuller and Fancher on music schedule SY SUl WUETCHUI Report~ Editor T HE lilting tones of Bach- played on a cello with a carrot? There 's never a duJJ moment when the Cali· fornia EAR Unit performs. The group is nored for combining a "classical" instrumentation of flute, clarinet , keyboards, percussion, violin and cello with an "any- thing goes• approach that can include voices, panpipes, handcuffs , theatrics and, yes, a carrot. Dubbed the " wizards of now music" by the LA Daily News, tho unit will porform at 8 p.m. Feb. 15 in Slcc Concert Hall, North Campus-one of several performances to be presented during February by ~he Department of Music. Also schoduled to appoar in Sloe will be UB faculty members Susan Fancher and David Fuller. New York composer Kirk Nurock will appoar in Baird Rocital Hall during the second annual Jazz Workshop. Founded in March 1981 , the Los Angelos· based California EAR Unit is recognized as one of America's fines t con temporary chamber en - sem.bles. Violins and pianos one minute, harmonicas and amplified plants the next-the audience a ttending an Ear Unit performance never knows what to expect. Since 1987, the unit has been enseffible-inresidence at the Los Angeles Co unt y Museum o f Art , where it presents it s own, critically ac- NUIIoot claimed, fo ur-concert series. Its repertoire of more than 400 composi tions ranges from the most-demanding wo rks 'for the concert hall to collaborations with major a rti sts in other fields to produ ce original, multime· dia works. The group has performed at major venues all over the world and has been featured in documentaries for th e BBC and Japanese television. Many of its concerts have been broad cast by American and Na tional Public Radio. More new music will follow o n Feb. I 8, when Kirk Nurock pr~nts a free concert for the second annual Jazz Workshop. Nurock, whoso work blends jazz improvisation, 20... century classical techniques, theater music, tau from classical poetry, scat singing, live animal sounds and rich con temporary orchestration, will pe:rform at 8 p.m. in Baird Recital Hall. ~a child prodigy, Nurock was honored at age 16 with tho first annual Duko Ellington Scholarship to the Eastman School of Music. He now holds a master's degree in composition from the )uiltiard School. Ho teachos in the New School's )au and Contomporary Music Program. Throughout his career, Nurock has explored uncon ventional ways of making music, including works for untrained voices and several pieces address inS .. cross-species communication" with sea lions, wolves , screech owls, guinea pigs and a Siberian tiger-he even has incorporated live animals in his concerts. However, NUrock can't be classified as a mere eccentric-he has arranged music for Dizzy Gillespie and Leonard Bernstein, and currently is co-orchestrating a large work with composer Meredith Monk, to be conducted by Michael Tilson Thomas. Valentine's Day will be a special one in Slee Hall , as Susan Fancher-US faculty member and member of the Amherst Saxophone Quartet-presents a reci tal of works composed no ea rlier than 1939. includ ing a wo rld premiere of mu sic inspired by tht- lonely road side motels of Northern On tario. Fancher will be joined in the 8 p.m. reci tal o n Feb. 14 by Mark Engebretson, he r husban d a nd fellow member of th e ASQ; saxopho ni st Wildy Zu mwalt; percussio nist Rin Ozaki , and pi anist ·Stephen Manes, chair of the Department of Mu sic. G Prior to joining the ASQ in 1998, Fanche!r was soprano saxophonist with the Vienna Saxophone Quartet. Sbe has commissionM and premjered more than 60 new compositions for saxophone quartet 1 and has appeared i.n hun dreds of concerts internationally as a soloist and member of chamber music en~mbles . She holds a doctorato in .saxophono performance from Northwostom Univorsity and tho McdaiUe d'Or from the Conse.rvaioire de Bordeaux, France. Professor Emeritus DaVid Fuller's all-Bach organ recital foaturing the comploto "trio sonatas," to be held at 8 p.m. Feb. 28 in Slcc, should be a particularly notablo one: these piocos aro rarely performod togothcr as a group. "Such performances are a phenomenon of our time and they have something of the nature of a stunt," Fuller says. "The" first and only time I have heard the trio sonatas played together live was some 60 yoars ago, by organist E. Power Biggs.• A UB faculty member from I ~3-98, Fuller taught the history of music to UB students. M a musicologist, he specializes in French music of the 11'*' and JSdl centuries, and in problems of historical performance. On the Fisk Organ in Sloo, Fuller ha s recorded tho la st two symphonies ofWidor and two further sets de voted to Germanic romantic mu sic, including the tonepoem "Sa ul • b y Edua rd Stehlo, and Han s Fuhrmann's eighth 's onata. He earned bachelor's, master's and dectoral degrees from Harvard. Tickets for Ctlifornia Ear Unit are S 12 for the general public, $9 fo r UB faculty, staff and alumni, senior citizens and WNED members with card , and 55 for st udents.

The discussion that delineated many of the differences between cultural and religious practices in relation to lslamic women took on a renewed wgency in light of the FBI's recent release of its annual ba~ crimes owort that showed a 1,600 percent increase in the number of hate Crimes directe<J against Muslims in the U.S. The panelists were as diverse. as D the face of Islam-three were Americans (two of the Americans were of Asian or Middle Eastern origin), two were Middle Eastern and one was a convert to Jslam: All of the panelists sought to correct what they view as misunder- , standings regarding such practices as wearing the hijab, or headscarf, and women's rights within the religious context of their faith. "There are a couple of ways that Islam has been abused-in the view that it's oppressivt' to wo.men and in its constant link to terrorism ," said Sawsan Tabbaa of Syria, a postdoctoral associate in the De- partment of Oral Biology in the School of Dental Medicine and winnerof the 1999-2000GraduateStudent Excellence in Teaching Award. All of the women agreed that Islam isn't just a religion for them- - it's a way of life. And, they pointed out. there is nothing in the Koran that claims men are better than women. In fact , sa id Esra E. Aleisa , a gradu:ile student in industrial en gineering from Kuwait, the Koran empowers women to oWn property, run their own businesses and keep their ea rnings. All of this, she added, was true long before women in the U.S. bad the right to vote or own property.

Prevention efforts have shown success, but an estimated 600-1,400 cases still occur annually in the U.S. The ability to best care for the small victims may depend, in part, 'on work now under way with UB's Ddloomputerdusters. The Applied Computational Mathematics and Mechanics Re· search team led by Abani Patra, associate professor of mechanical and I aerospace engineering, develops computational techniques to use supercomputen; to study complex, phenomena, such as volcanic eruptions and the function of car safety seats for children during crashes. "Engineering analysis boils down to creatingpxl mathernaiicaJ models to represent the physics." Patra aplairis. "The l:ldfc:luils' t!naloles us to construct more accurate numeri- cal approximations and to examine more modeling assumptions." While modeling simple, one-time injuries has many things in common with injuries caused by shakenbaby syndrome, ·Patra says modeling the latter is more complex because of the type and mechanisms of tissue damage that result from the repeated shaking of the brain. By revealing more about the biomechanics and how· such inju~es are sustained, Patra's work, along with that of collaborators at Pennsylvania State University, is contrib- uting to the d<vdopment of better diagnoses of the syndrome and one day may lead to improved treat ments for survivors, about half of whom experience significant problems, including blindness, seizures, developmental delays and paralysis.

"The stereotype of Asian students as model minorities has become a destructive myth for children of all backgrounds whom the school sys- , te'!15 a"' failing-;md they are failing many of them," says l.i, the author of "East is East and West is West?" a study ofhomeliter11cy, cui· ture and schooling. "Contempor11ry public percep· tions of Chinese and other Asian students are based on reports of their high test scores and high 81"11des when compared to minority groups like black and t..ltino students in the U.S. and. aboriginal groups in Canada," says Li, "and so these stu· dents are constructed as 'academic nerds," high -achievers' and the like." She sa~ this stereotype is rein· forced by research liter11ture that re· pons only Asian success stories, and is destructive for those children whom the schools are failing. Although many Asian students do quite well in school and on standardized tests, Li maintains their success often reOects the additional expensive private schooling provided by upper· and middle-class G parents on <Ytllingo and wedc.ends. The u.s. and Canada ha"" witnessed alarg.e inllux of c:lUnese im· migrants from Hong Kong ·and mainland OWia .,..,. the past few years. l.i says, and their children ""' becoming a significant segment"of the sdlool population.

And like other immigr110ts. says l.i, they and their children oft<n fail in sdlool and suffer the social and economic consequences. ..The presentation of Asians as a 'model minority,"' says Li, "'reinforces the 'blame-the-victim' approach to minority students' failure. It promotes the ' invisibility' of troubled students and disguises the social realities of many children who are not academically succeSsful." "These images of Chinese chil· dren in part:icuJar oome into play when they fail in school," she says. "Because of the assumption that these students should do well aca, demically, failure may be attributed to deficiencies in the family or ne· glect by parents, r11ther than problems with the school." ·The persistence of these ideas, says Li, prevents w from unraveling the social realities of those who face problems in the educational system. Furthermo"', she says. they authorize a fiat denial of racism and struaures of social dominance, and silence those who are not economi- cally successful. In several published qualitative studies of Chinese. Philippine and other Asian school children and their f;milies in the U.S. and Canada, 1.i consistently has found that it is not ancestry that determines how well students do in sdlool, bu~ as is the case for rt¥lSt children, the economic class and social aspirations of their parents. She says that factors such as the family's ability and skill in activating cultural resources for academic success, and the school's political agenda also play an important role in shaping the educational success of Asian chil<lren. Asians, who traditionally defer to authority and hesillltr to put them· selves forward because it is considered rude, may find it very difficult to speak up to teachers and school administrators. 1bose who do complain often say that math progr11rns in American and Canadian schools a"' insuffi· cient and that their teaching methods ""' too child-centered, says l.i. Such. parents, l.i says, ""' not just liter11tr. but well~ucated ·and consider academic success a ticket to their childm1's future =nomic and social well-being. They will~ to extraordinary lengths to insure that end. "In addition to completing a full week of public-school classes, their children are privately tutored for several hours each night in math and English. They also a"' likely to attend a highly structured 'Chinese School' onweekmds. "Tutoring and spec!al schools oost money and involve considerable parental involvement," she says. noting that such time, money and ef. fort seldom are available to the "downtown Chinese"-the poor, ill-educated or non-English speak· ing families that make up the majority of Chinese immigrants. • -0ff firm . uets $1 1 milli"on SPm 0 o By LOUAJII£ 0 . WAPPMAN Repott~ Contributor MBP Tech Corp., a VB spin-off company. has received a $1.1 million 81"11nt from the U.S. Department of Defense Missile Defense Agency. James Garvey, AMBP Tech founder and UB professor of chem· istry, said the gr11n t will allow the company to develop fu rther and com mercialize its advanced molecular beam disposition equipment for use in the nticroelectronics, optoelectronics and coatings industries. AM BP Tech plans to develop a prototype of its new pulse arc mo· lecular-bearn deposipon (PAMBD) unit under th e two -year gra nt. AMBP's technique pulses pressurized gases through a plasma arc to create and deposit metal oxide thin films on substr11tes. Garvey said that the development of thin films that do not damage sensitive substr11tes, such as silicon, during chip filbrication has b..n one of the greatest challeoges of the d~ics industry.Jiish chip fail. A ure r11tes, he added, can be extremely costly for research-grade supercomputer chip fabricators.

This is the second gr11nt awarded to AM BP Tech in the past two years. AMBP Tech, fo unded in 1997, was awarded a gr110t under the federal Small Bwiness Innovation Research (SBIR) program in 2000. This 81"11nt allowed the company to develop its laser·assistcd molecular beam deposition ( l.AMBD) unit and enabled the company's move into the VB Technology lncuiWor, located in Amherst adjacm\ to the North Campus. A W According to Garvey, the idea behind PAMBO is similar in principal to LAMB D. While LAMBD uses a laser to r11pidly heat a metal target, creating high temper11ture plasmas, PAMBP uses an electrical discharge between two metal target rods to create the plasma. Heaplained that a pulse of reagent gas is injected into theplasma,cawingauniquechemical reaction. With each pulse, the resulting product, or film, is uni formly deposited onto a substnte with 100 percent efficiency. By adjusting the pulse power and expansion condi tio nS, Garvey added, the amount of material de· . posited by each pulse can be varied. likewise, regulating the total number of pulses USC<! in the deposition processallowsprecisecontroloffilm th ickness.

Bull competes for title of((Mascot of the Year" e UB faculty and staffare urged to vote for university's mascot in online ballotingfor national contest BJ SUE WUETCHUI Reporter Editor JC!ORE.Bullis theBBOC(BigBullonCampus)at UB these days. The spiritual leader of the university's athletic teams has risen to the upper ranks of the national mascol scene by being named to the first-ever, Capital One All-American Mascot Team. And that pu~ s Victor in the ru~ ­ ning for the title of .. Mascot of the Year." Victor is competing against 11 other mascots, including the Penn State Nittany Lion; the University of Florida Gator and Otto, the Syracuse University Orangeman. The winner. to be selected by funs voting via an online ballot, will be an nounced during the Capital One Bowl game on Jan. I. "Each year the best college football players are named to All-America teams, and for the first time ever, college mascots will have their own team,n said Pam Girardo, manager of consumer public relations for Capital One Financial Corp., a holding company whose principal subsidiaries, Capital One Bank and Capital One FSB, offer consumer-lending products. "Mascots have a passion and an energy that keeps thou sands of college football fans screaming and yelling and com· ing back each week for great football~ said Girardo. "What better way is there to recognize these unsung heroes than to bring together the best of the best and then have the fans select the National Mascot of the Year. "Capital One thinks it is time to give these true heroes the recognition they deserve." The mascot contest was open to all NCAA Division 1-A and 1-AA school mascots representing football programs. Ji.ll Rex.inger-Kuhn, director of promotions for the Division of Athletics, said UB received a nomination packet for the m\t con test in late August, and decided to enter ~fter V the Bulls-Connecticut football game on Sept. I 4 during which skateboarding icon Tony Hawke made a pre-game and halftime appearanct. A packet of nomination materials was sent to Capital One, in· eluding a video demonstrating Victor's interactions with fans during games, a Vic tor bobblehead doll, a stuffed Victor doll, T-shirtsand Victor autograph cards. she said. A panel of judges compoS«! of representatives from ESPN. Capital One and the mascot community selected and notified the 12 finalists on Sept. 2 I. Judging criteria included fan interaction,dern· onstration of good sportsmanship and c~mmunity service involvement. "It's defin itely an honor to be among the finalists; we're proud. to see Victor in the same class as the Penn State Nittany Lion and the Florida Gator," Rexinger-Kuhn said. The judges ranked the 12 finalists, and that ranking, along with results of online voting by fans, will determine the "Mascot of the Year," she explained. As of press time, the Nittany uon was leading balloting with 30 percent of the mtes cast. VICtor had received 3 percmt, the same as Otto the_Oranll'f!Wl. "The messase rd~to gr..e &cuJty and staff is to please take a minute out of your c!;,y to """ for VICIOI( Rt:xinger-Kuhn said Members of the UB community may cast their votes for Victor by visiting http:// www.ub•thletlcs. buff•lo.edu / splrlt/ •ll•merlc•nYictoi.shtftll. Balloting will end on Dec. 20. Victor air.ady has earned $5,000 for US-each of the 12 finalists will receive $5,000, payable to its school's athletic dq>artmen~ for use in scholarships and funding of the mascot program. The "Mascot of the Year• will receivt an additional $5,000, for a total of$ I0,000. In addition to Victor, Otto and the Nittany lion, the other mascots named to the All -American team are Alben the Gator, Univer· sity of Florida; Big AI, Uni\'ersity of Alabama; Big Red, Western Kent~cky University; The Bird, U.S. Air Force Academy; Buzz the Yellow Jacke~ Georgia Tech; Monte the Grizzly, University of Montana; Sebastian the Ibis, University of Miami; Seymour the Eagle, Sou them / Mississippi University and Smokey the Hound, University of Tennessee. 1 � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Description An account of the resource The UB <em>Reporter</em> began publication on January 22, 1970, a time of tumult at the University. It succeeded the newsletter, <em>Colleague</em>, and to this day, serves as the official source for "in house," internal news. The first issue included an editorial, "Why The Reporter?" explaining the rationale for the newspaper: <br /><blockquote> <p>The feeling was that the University lacks a sense of community—that communication is too helter-skelter—that too many groups feel alienated, apart. Somehow, it was felt, if these groups—faculty, student and staff—could come together on the commons and share their concerns and ideas, their activities, their aspirations and whatever else they have to offer, community and communications would result…But it will not produce instant community. Each of us will have to work toward that goal.</p> </blockquote> <br />The Reporter ceased print production in May 2009 when it became an online only publication; in Spring 2016 it became a daily publication.  The Reporter was re-named UB Now in Spring 2016.

When it was established in 1971 by our director, St<ph<n C . Dunnett, vice provost for international education, the institute was nam<d the lntensiv< English Language Institute to designate our primary mission. Over the years, we have taken on additional responsibili ties , including us·s credit-bea ring ESL courses and overseas programs, which have made the instjtute a more integral part of th< univ.rsity. We chang<d o ur name in 1995 to reflect this broader mission. Despite the addition of new activities, the ELI remains committed to our core program,the lEP, which w< believe is on< of th< best in th• country and provides an outstanding preparation for academic study in th< U.S. That's why we like to·«mind the departments that our six- and 12-we:ek summer programs serve as an excellent preacademic program for incoming graduate and undergraduate international studen U.

Activity hours were converted into an activity irida based on METs. or metabolic equivalents, a standard mrthod used to indicate energy expenditure. An activity index of 24 reflects no activity (one MET per hour is necessary to maintain basic bodily functions). The first activity quartile included participants with an acthrity index of24 to 27; second quartile from 27 to 30; third from 30 to 37 and fourth, greater than 37.

A Results of the trial appear as a rapid communication in the No- vember issue of Nturosurgery. A group headed by Adnan Qureshi, associate professor of neurosurgery, devised a treatmenl for these high-risk patients that oombined a low dose of a third-generation tissue-plasminogen activator" (tPA)-a longer-acting do! dissolver than standard tPA-with balloon angioplasty or a snare device to brealk up the dot, increasing the drug's effectiveness. The UB group is one of the first to test this approach in .a prosp<etive trial. Of the 19 patien!S studied-none of whom were appropriate candidates for standard intravenous tPA therapy-seven were able to perform activities of daily living independently at follow-up. .. This triaJ opens up a new hori zon for stroke treatment," Qurt:Shi said. "It shows the feasibility Of using both measures togrther in opening up the blood vessels and reducing the risk of hemorrhage. None of the 19 patienrs experienced symptoms of brain hemorrhage. The two mechan isms work synergistically. ..Almost all of rhese patients would be expected to do really poorl y." he said. "More than onethird now are able 10 live with good functional capacity." Ten patiems did not survive the one-to-three-month follow-up period because of the severity of initial stroke. One "patient died soon after ~Lm<nt, six died of a massive second stroke, one of a heart attack and three of oomplications of pneumonia. Two patien!S developed disability related 10 the stroke. • The biggest problem in stroke treatment today, Qureshi said, is finding a way to open up blocked vessels quickly without causing -for- ''Tbls trW opens up.- -lt.._.the ADNANQURE..SHI hemorrhage. All thrombolytic agents, when administered intravenously at recommended levels. may cause bleMing in the brain by virtue of their blood-thinning action. The risk is dose-dependent: lowering the drug dose lowers the likelihood of hemorrhage, but it also decreases the drug's dot-dissolving effectiveness. Thrombolytics such as the standard tPA have other limitations. as well: They must be administered within three hours of stroke-onset to be effective, they are aaive for only six-to - 10 minutes and they aren't recommended for patients who have had a recent surgery. Another stroke treatment option-using mechanical devices aJone, such as balloon angioplasty or snares. lo brealk up a dot without rhe drugincreases the chances that clot fragments will block another vessel downstream. "These problems prompled us to look for alternate rreatments," Qureshi said. The researchers settJed on a newer, longer-acting clot-dissolving OF't ailed reteplase, which they injerted in small doses directly in 10 the clot through a catheter, rather than through an IV line. If the drug alone didn't reopen the vessel quickly, the endovascular physicians broke up the clot mechankally, enabling the drug to work more effectively. COotdissolving drugs only can penetrate the surface of a do~ breaking up the dot into piec:es allows the drug to penetrate more deeply. ) All surgeries took place at Millard Fillmore Hospital of Kalieda Health, the UB department's primary clinical site. "The biggest fear in stroke ~t­ ment." Qureshi said, "is thai the situation an be made WOI$e.ln this pilot SIUdy, none of the patients experienced damaging hemorrhages. Unfortunately, some patients received no benefit. But seven out of 19 were alive and living independently at follow-up. Given the selection of patients. this is an impressive resu!L" The next step is to conduct a larger study of the combined therapy, he said.

Esthetic dentistry center gives patients back their smiles o UB program provides some of most comprehensive _training in the field for students and practitioners By DONNA LONGENlCIIlR Reporter Assistant Editor RED Mcintyre has seen firsthand the psychological impact that an impaired smile can have on a patient. "The smile is very important in your presentation, in your ability to get a job and function in society," says Mcintyre, clinical professor of restorative dentistry and diredor of the Esthetic Dentistry Education Center in the School of Dental Medicine. The public's demand for the perfect smile has prompted a revolution, of sorts. in the field of eSthetic, or comestic,·dentistry, and UB is providing some of the most comprehensive training in esthetic dentistry in the country to both students and pmctitioners. "The whole crux of why we're here is not only to teach esthetic dentistry, but to stay current with the latest and best practices to protect the public," Mcintyre says as he thumbs through the local "Yellow Pages" pointing out claims made by dentists advertising cos~etic services. "We' re developing a standard of education-we're the only university dedicated to teaching esthetic dentistry at all levels. Dentistry tends to be slow to change," adds Mcintyre, who anticipated the demand for more lifelike restorations as early as 1987 and developed the first undergraduate course in the world in est hetic dentistry at the UB dental school. The esthetic dentistry cent·er was established at UB in 1998. · Esthetic dentistry-one of the fastest growing areas within dental medicine-was a 1970s outgrowth of restorative dentistry, which historically was concerned with the function and biologic compatibility of the teeth. lnitiaUy, it was only cosmetic; dentists were doing it purely for the smile, Mcintyre says, noting that out of that grew today's esthetic dentistry, which {11erges traditional dentistry with the new materials and techniques developed because of the demands for teeth that function well and look pleasing. The Esthetic Dentistry Education Center uses state-of-thean materials and technology to enable dentists to update their skills and knowledge base while gaining invaluable clinical experience in incorporating~ latest materials and techniques into their practices. \ctitioners can obtain proficiency certificates thro~gh the F dental school's continuing education program. Some of the procedures performed at the 16-chaircenter in Squitt Hall include Qleaching, veneers, anterior compositts, direct composites, ceramic crowns, fiber-reinforced composite bridges, indi~ect porcelajn or composite inlays and on lays, anterior crowns and microabrasion treatment. The center has two full-time residents who see j>atients every day, as well as working with dental students and practitio· "All of these things have some impact-ilOt only does it hav. to look nice, it has to function righ~· says Mclotyre. The goal fur much of the work that takes plaa aJ the =~ is to lessen the impact of esthetic dentistry on the un<lerlying tooth 5trUC· ttue-in shon, rutting less of the tooth and suirounding gum tissue while makirig n:storations as lifelikt as possible. "We want to give them back their smile while protecting the en3mei and the underlying integrity of the tooth. The goals · are esthetics, function and oonservation of the tooth," he says. The center h3s been involved in community outreach activitiesaswdl, worlting with middle school-aged childreo who have become behavior problems due, in part, to their peers taunting them about the condition of their teeth. "We have helped 12-14-year-oldswith dental problems sud! as staining and discoloring that were severe enough to be· come a distraction and contributed to poor self-esteem-the kids didn't want to go to school: With so""' very conservative bleaclting and bonding, these children can smile again with no one taunting them... · The center also is the only univenity·~ program that participates in the American A<adeq~y of Cosmetic Dentistry's (AACD) "Give Back a Smile" program for battered women who are injured through spousal abuse. At no cost to them, women can utilize the center's services through a referral from · the AACD to restore the damage to their dentition. Mcintyre sees the center as a resource for other universi ties looking to develop similar programs in esthetic de10tistry and is working with the Universiry of Minnaota in this capacity. Simultaneously, he is working to gain recognition from the various dental societies and their governing bodies that these programs are integral for training and setting standards in the field.

Description An account of the resource The UB <em>Reporter</em> began publication on January 22, 1970, a time of tumult at the University. It succeeded the newsletter, <em>Colleague</em>, and to this day, serves as the official source for "in house," internal news. The first issue included an editorial, "Why The Reporter?" explaining the rationale for the newspaper: <br /><blockquote> <p>The feeling was that the University lacks a sense of community—that communication is too helter-skelter—that too many groups feel alienated, apart. Somehow, it was felt, if these groups—faculty, student and staff—could come together on the commons and share their concerns and ideas, their activities, their aspirations and whatever else they have to offer, community and communications would result…But it will not produce instant community. Each of us will have to work toward that goal.</p> </blockquote> <br />The Reporter ceased print production in May 2009 when it became an online only publication; in Spring 2016 it became a daily publication.  The Reporter was re-named UB Now in Spring 2016.

Astin urges attention to spirituality By SUf WUETCHER Reporur Editor A T first glance, it might seem strange for an insti- tution of higher education-one focused on the objective mind and science and cold, hard fu~o be concerned with the spiritual-the subjective tire. But education scholar and theorist Alexander Astin maintains that becau.e all human being>-indud ing students, fuculty and staff-are spiritual beings who have thoughts, ideas and feelings. higher education must address this aspect of the human psydle. Astin, Allan Murray Carter Prof<ssor of Higher Education and Work in the Graduate School of Education and Informa~n Studies at the University of California at Los Angeles, shared his views on the connection between higher education and the spiritual life during a speech Tuesday in the University Inn and Conference Center. The speech was the keynote address of a day-long conference, "Fostering Ultimate Meaning: Spiri- tuality as a Legitimate Concern for High'er Education,.. sponsored by the Newman Center, Student Affairs, the Depart ment of Educational Leadership and Policy in the Graduate School of Education and the National Association of Student Personnel Administrators. Astin told conference participants-many who work in Student Affairs and Campus Ministry units from institu tions across Western New York and from as fur away as Creighton University in Omahathat the "spiritual domain.. involves human consciousness-"what we experience privately in our subjective awareness." Spirituality has more do to with affective experience than with reason or logic, he said "Spirituality has to do with the values we hold most dear, our sense of who we arc and where we come from. our beliefs about why we are here and the meaning and purpose of our lives and work and our sense of connectiveness,"he said. Moreover, spirituality involves aspects ofexperience that "are not easy todefineortalkabout,"' likeintuition, inspiration, the mysteriow and the mystical, he said So why shouldn't this proa:ss of becoming more self-aware be one of thecentral purposes of higher education? Astin asked. "It's difficult to ..., how most of our contemporary domestic and world problems can....- be resolved without a substantial increase in individual and collective .self-awareness," he said "Self-awareness and self-understanding are a necessary prerequisite to our ability lo understand others and to resolve conflicts. If you don't understand what's going on inside the head of the other person or inside your own head, you're not going to get very far." Evenacursorylookat the educational system indicateS'th·at the amount of time dtvoted to the '" in terior"and the "exterior• aspects of our lives .. has gotten way out of balance," he noted. \Vhile we've made crucial advances in the fidds 'o r science, medicine, technology and commerce, we've come to n~ect the "inner• world of values, beliefs, emotions, maturity, spirituality and self-understanding, he said " l~s ironic thilt while the gr<at literal and philosophical traditions that continue to constitute rhe core of a bbcral education are grounded in the maxim of 'know thyself, development of self-awareness reaives very tittle attention jn scboolsand<DIIegeS. and almost no attention in public discourse in general and in the media in particular," be said, adding that this imbalancr between the "inner" and "outer" has enorrnoll$ implications for the future of society.

RIA studies focus on families · By KAntLHN W£Avut Rtpart6 Contributor R ESEARCHERS affiliated with the Research Institute on Addiaions have been awarded two grants focusing on couples th erapy and fum ily treatment for alcoholism and drug abuse, which are among the most effective, but rarely used in Substance-abuse treatm ent programs because they are labor-intensive and costly to deliver. The fiBt study, funded by a S1.5 miUion grant from the NationaJ Institute on Drug Abuse, will involve a therapist working with several couples in a group fonnat , thereby reducing the cost of the treatment · and perhaps making the intervention more attrnctive to substanceabuse treatment programs. "We know that couples therapy is very effective in reducing drinking and drug use among married or cohabiting alcoholics and drug users." explained William Fals-Stewart, senior research scientist at RIA and resea rch associate professor in the Department of Psychology in the College of Arts and Sciences. "Recent studies have found that couples th'erapy is one of the five most effe-ctive treatments for alcoholism and substance abuse," he added.

Titled .. Building Poli tics: l:.aw, Institut ions and Democratic Theory," the conference will be held from 9 a.m. to 3:30p.m. tomorrow in O'Bria n Hall, North Campus. The conference will examine the struc1ure of politics and the groundwork that is needed for political change, according to James A. Gardner, professor of law and ofganiur of the conftte:nce. "Law and political 1heory have had an uneasy relationship in the past half century," Gardner said. "Yet, constitutional adjudication and analysis is inevitably infonned by background understandings ofpolitics, making polilical theory an important area for legal inquiry. "At the same time, political theorists often deal in lofty abstractions, whose relevance for law and legal institutions is not always dear." he added. "Even those democratic theorists who deal with concrete institutional prescriptions often lack the knowledge and expertise to work through the difficult problems of institutionalization that form the bread and butter of the lawyer's work." Conference participants will discuss those practices that are necessary to political legitimacy, including how to regulate and use law to give incentives.that wiU result in a political stntcture that is more effective and satisfying than it is now.

Fony-one Chinese: executives completed the two- year program. which was designated as the best in China by the Chinese Ministry of Education. The program is designed for executives with at least five years of work experience. Courses are taught in English by UB faculty members who travel to China to teach in three- or four-we-e.k modules. Renmin faculty members experienced in Westt"m busi· ness practkes also teach in the program. The graduates hold high-level positions at some of the leading companies doing business in China, indudingMotorol<\, Microooft, l..ucent Technologies and Praxair. "Our China Executive MBA program is a model global partnership between education and industry," said John M. Thomas. interim dean of the School of Management, who traveled to Beijing for th e commencement ceremony. "The support of Praxair has been critical to helping UB work with the Renmin School of Business Administration to build a western model of education in China." Praxair has aided the SOM with its.educational efforts in China since 1995. Through r.o.-o $200,000 grants, the industrial gases company P'l>" vided funding for the creation of the China ExecutM: MBA program and contributes to the upgrade of classroom technologies there.

Description An account of the resource The UB <em>Reporter</em> began publication on January 22, 1970, a time of tumult at the University. It succeeded the newsletter, <em>Colleague</em>, and to this day, serves as the official source for "in house," internal news. The first issue included an editorial, "Why The Reporter?" explaining the rationale for the newspaper: <br /><blockquote> <p>The feeling was that the University lacks a sense of community—that communication is too helter-skelter—that too many groups feel alienated, apart. Somehow, it was felt, if these groups—faculty, student and staff—could come together on the commons and share their concerns and ideas, their activities, their aspirations and whatever else they have to offer, community and communications would result…But it will not produce instant community. Each of us will have to work toward that goal.</p> </blockquote> <br />The Reporter ceased print production in May 2009 when it became an online only publication; in Spring 2016 it became a daily publication.  The Reporter was re-named UB Now in Spring 2016.

Astin will be the lcqnote speaUr at a oonferma, "Foolmng Ultima~ Meaning: Spirituality .. a L<giti!nak Concern for Higher Education," to be held Nov. 5 an!! hosted by UB that will address the relationship between spirituality, learning and student development. The oonference will be held in the University Inn and Conference Center, 2402 North Forest· Road, Amherst, from 9:30 a.m. to 3 p.m. Registration is $30,$20 for full -time swdents and includes. lunch.

"Some would say that 'spiritual development ' is not the purview o f the university," acknowledges Den ~ nis Black, vice president for student affairs, .. but Astin maintains that fo r far too long, academia has encouraged us to lead fragmented a nd inauthentic lives.

Gift to fund.DNA research The: khool of Medklne: •ncl Biomedical Sciences has received a gift 10 fund DNA research from a donor who heard about UB's work in that area from his physician, who is an alumnus of the medical school. The gift of $50,000 from Allan Wade Parker of San Francisco will be used to provide start-up· research funds for scientists working primarily within the Department of Structural Biology at the Hauptman-Woodward Medical Research Institute, as well as at other centers in the School of Medicine and Biomedical Sciences. It also will encOurage collaborative work in genetics research, following on·a gift of $50,000 Parker gave earlier this year to the Dcpartmmt of Genome Scie.nces at his alma mater, the. University of Washington. Parker learned of UB's efforts in DNA research through his physician and friend, Martin Terplan, who graduated from UB's medical school in 1955. George DeTitta, professor and chair of the Department of Structural Biology, as well as executive director and CEO of tht Hauptman-Woodward Institute, said the gift will help underwrite a structural biology project that unites researchers at UB, HW1 and Roswell Park Cancer Institute working on understanding how certain genes are turned "on• or "off" during vital stages of development and during certairi disease statesy �41 Rep ariaa' Otllller 2t 2ll2tVi. :M.

II , 200 I, college and universities across the country have seen a boom in w u·rscs tl1at trace how the religions Jnd cultures of the Middle East affect their peoples. Now, an attorney and matrimonial mediator who was raised as a Muslim in Iran. wilJ teach the first such course at the UB School of Law, one that delves into how religion and culture play important roles in shaping the legal status of women in Muslim and Hhidu societies, among them Iran, India and Egypt. . The course, entitled "Effects of Religion and Culture o n Family Laws in EasremCountries,"will ex;amine the stat u s of wo men as wives, daughters and mothers in Hindu and Muslim societies, and how that status affects the enact· ment of family laws and gender gap and equity issues. " My goal is to begin to develop in studenu an understanding of how laws-in particular laws affecting the family-are shaped in other societies," said instructor Nadia N. Shahram,an Iranian and UB School of Law alumnus. "Because I was born '!lid raised until my early teens in a Muslim en· vironment, I feel! bav.: a responsi- S \ bility to explain what! know of cul· ture versus religion to Americans," .said Shah ram , an American citizen who has lived in the U.S. for 20 years. She explained that while law students learn that the U.S. legal system is based on case law, that is not always true in Middle Eastern countries. "This is particularly the case for laws that affect faplilies and women in those countries... she said ... These laws often are not crea teO by legal experts making decision s and weighing costs and benefits. Often, they stem &om the culture of a society and what that culture views as a""Ptable." She explained that many Middle Eastern customs that AmericanS of· ten assume are religious practices actually stern not from religion, but &om a society's culture. In her native Iran, for example, a woman cannot.lUve the country without written permission from her hUsband, a regulation that she says is a cultural, not religious. part · of family law. " Pethaps because Iran is 90 per· cent Muslim, people assume it is rooted in Islam," she noted, adding that in contrast, Muslim women in India are not similarly restricted. " Most America n s h ave also heard that there are religious laws that tell Muslim women to co""' their bodits, head to toe," she pointed out. "But in fact , that cus· torn is not religious but rather is rooted tO the cultures of the societies in which it is practiced." Other customs that have legal im· plications will come as a complete surprise to her students. she noted. " For example, it is the custom in Iran for daughters to keep their father's names, even after marriage," she said, adding that she takes pride in retaining that custom here, as a married woman in American society where wives usually take their husband's names. The course also will introduce students to some of the most critical issues affecting women's status in Middle Eastern and Asian countries, including the tragic practi"' of bride burning, where wives are burned "accidentally" when husbands believe they ba~ not received adequare dowries for the marriage. Acoording to Shahram, this crime usually is committed by the motherin-law and the husband "This is completely against the law, of course,• she said. · sut vuy few perpetratort of this crime an: prosecuted and convicted, even though it still occurs." Shahram said her course will examine not just the facts of th~ crimes, but also the cultural complicity that allows them to continue.

Jean Balent, Samuela Fran~ini and Howard Kellick-2002 graduates ofUB's undergraduate environmental-engineering program-won the award for their work on a student project that focused on improving the warer-supply system at utchworth State Park in Castile. They were chosen from among teams from the Univemty of Arkansas, University of Aorida, and University of WISCOnsin-Platteville. VB's winning project was supported and partially funded by the New York State Department of Parks, Recreation·and Historic Preservation, according to Alan j . ~bideau, associate profesSor of civil, structural and erivironmental enginee.ring. "An innovative component of the project was the use of automated data loggers to provide continuow readings of water quality in sev· . era! of the park's remotely located spring water systems," said Rabideau, who served as the project's faculty advisor. "The installation of a CUS· tom-designed, solar-powered ielemetry system, funded by UB's En· vironment and Society Institute, enabled some of the water-quality sensort to oommunicate daily with oomputers located at UB." utchworth Stare Park-<>ften referred to as "the Grand Canyon of the East"-is implementing some of the studenu' recommendations to improve the design and maintenance of its water system.

For more information see, http://dublincore.org/documents/dces/. Description An account of the resource The UB <em>Reporter</em> began publication on January 22, 1970, a time of tumult at the University. It succeeded the newsletter, <em>Colleague</em>, and to this day, serves as the official source for "in house," internal news. The first issue included an editorial, "Why The Reporter?" explaining the rationale for the newspaper: <br /><blockquote> <p>The feeling was that the University lacks a sense of community—that communication is too helter-skelter—that too many groups feel alienated, apart. Somehow, it was felt, if these groups—faculty, student and staff—could come together on the commons and share their concerns and ideas, their activities, their aspirations and whatever else they have to offer, community and communications would result…But it will not produce instant community. Each of us will have to work toward that goal.</p> </blockquote> <br />The Reporter ceased print production in May 2009 when it became an online only publication; in Spring 2016 it became a daily publication.  The Reporter was re-named UB Now in Spring 2016.

Description An account of the resource The UB <em>Reporter</em> began publication on January 22, 1970, a time of tumult at the University. It succeeded the newsletter, <em>Colleague</em>, and to this day, serves as the official source for "in house," internal news. The first issue included an editorial, "Why The Reporter?" explaining the rationale for the newspaper: <br /><blockquote> <p>The feeling was that the University lacks a sense of community—that communication is too helter-skelter—that too many groups feel alienated, apart. Somehow, it was felt, if these groups—faculty, student and staff—could come together on the commons and share their concerns and ideas, their activities, their aspirations and whatever else they have to offer, community and communications would result…But it will not produce instant community. Each of us will have to work toward that goal.</p> </blockquote> <br />The Reporter ceased print production in May 2009 when it became an online only publication; in Spring 2016 it became a daily publication.  The Reporter was re-named UB Now in Spring 2016.

The Methods of Inquiry Program began in 1988 with support from a FIPSE grant and is premised o n the assumption that students play a sin · gular role in the learning proces..~. The capabilities and disposi tion s students bring to the classroom determine the extent to which they take advantage of what is offered. If th ey involve them selves activel y, regulate themselves thoughtfull y and bring ent_Jlusiasm, curiosity and persistence to their pursuits, they will succ..d. The Methods of In · quiry Program offers an opportu· nity for students to lean how to regulate themselves and, thereby, control their measure of success. This program formerty was called " "-'>lng to Lum. • Why t h e - change7 H•< the mrrtculum ch•nged u -·7 Th• imp<tus for th• Methods of Inquiry Program was a d<Sir• by UB faculty and staff to rckindl• facultycone<rn for undergraduate education. When th• Undergraduate Council (formed in 1985 to explore this matter) began inves· tigating th< <fforts of comparabl• universities to focus on under ~ graduate education, members became aware of" Learning to Learn" ( LTL), a successful l<arning program for undergraduates at risk (Heiman and Slomi'anko, 1983). LTL emphasized the rol• ihat discrete questions and methodology play in each discipline. At its conception, Methods of Inquiry reli<d heavily on this fTam ework, but as th e cou rse evolved, it moved away from the LTL mOdel. The curricu lum no w is eve nly split between cognitive psychology and philoso· phy. Half of the course is dedicaled to the cogniti ve psychology topi cs o f lea rning, mem ory and motivati o n , while the other half is dedi cated to the philosophical topics of reaching judgments and analyz· ing arguments . Th e progra m is called Methods of Inquiry because it locates the di scovery, framing and understanding of questions as central to the learning and critical-thinking processes. I he•r you have a phenomenal JUcceu rate. Tell me about lt. We meas ure the success of the Methods of Inquiry Program by examini ng grade and retention fig· ures, as well as evidence of increased active learni ng efforts and improved attitude by the students. Through th• years, we have had a fairly stable success rate. Com bin - ing th• fall 1999, spring 2000 and fall2000 semesters. for aample, Wf' noted a strong influence of the cours< on GPA. S<venty-s.vm per· cent of studmts mtmng the cours< with a GPA iower than 2.0 im proved their ov....U acad<mic per· fonhante. Fifty:si.t pere<nt of students coming into the course with a GP~ b<tw<<n 2.0 and 3.0 improved, and 43 p<re<nt of thoS< with already strong GPAs above 3.0 aJso improved. These numbers are representative of other semesters. Similarly, M•thods of Inquiry also appears to have a positive influence on retention. A retention study of the 1991 freshmen co hort con du cted by th< Office of Institu tional Analysis in 1997 ft!Jund that although students who took Methods of Inquiry that yea r had lower verbal and quantitative SAT sco res than the freshman average. they had an II percent higher retention rate to graduation within five years. We are in the process of replicating that study for the 1995 cohort. It 1s for these reasons, among others, that the Faculty Senate Teaching and Learning Committee passed a resolutio n in 2000 that the Meth ods of Inquiry Program should be '"maintained, strengthened, better pub~cized and placed high on the list of recommended courses by undergraduate advisors." Wh•t would you MY II the most common Impediment to students' le•mlng1 I think one of the primary impediments to student success is an un willingness to take responsibility for what is learned. In Methods of Inquiry, we stress to students that the "locus of control" is in them . ln other words. what makes the dif. ference in their success or lack of 4 success in a course is primarily a matter o( their effort. lf stud<:nts put in th• right kind and amount of dfort, they should be abl• to achi..., a le-vel of sucass. M<thods of Inquiry assisis by =mining what kinds of dforts an: most helpful When students place responsibility for their success or failure on the teacher, the kind of assi gnments re quired, their natural intellig<ne< or luck, however, it becomes more difficult for them to be motivated. This inappropriate attribution takes the control away from students and places it in an area where they have no control, making it difficult for students to muster the intrinsic mo tivatio n to get to the business o ( learning.

"Th e reall y challenging part is fi guring o ut how to control th e one bond that you really want," he said. " With o ur catalyst. we get really nice se lectivity." The techniques al read y arc re · sponsible for the develo pment of potent ially benefi cial new drugs in collaboratio ns between Davies and colleagues at Roswell Park Cancer Institute and in a separate collaboration with colleagues a"t Wake For· est Universit y.

O ne of the central features of the new techniques of the UB group is that compounds are produced selectively as single mirror images. "Our techniques act as enabling technologies, allowing scientists to readily access single mirror images of many classes of ch iral com · pounds that are of interest to phar· maceuticaJ companies," said Davies. The success of these techniques rests on the very powerful chiral catalysts that have been developed by the Davies group. "Small amounts of o ur catalysts can create huge amounts of th e chi raJ products, making the process very economical," he said. The combinatio n of the new tech niques with the ability to recover the so~d supported catalysts greatly en · hances the potential o( this chernis· try for a broad range of applicatiom in diversity synthesis. said Davies.

Wonderful opportunities awai t panicle physics during the next decade, with new instruments and experiments poised to explore the fron tiers of high energy, infinitesimal distances and exquisite rarity. Theories o f the fundamental particles and the interactions among them arc in a very provocative state. They afford a simple and coherent understanding of an unprecedented range of phenomena, but new understanding raises ambitious new questions that cannot yet be answered. In search of answers, there have been a number of far-reaching specula- tions made about the theory that lies beyond what can bo established now through experiment. While drawing more fully the consequences of today's theory, fu ture clisco~ries may lead to revolutionary changes in the perception of the physical world . Intern ational ly known fo r his studies of heavy quarks and his in · sights into pa rticle interactions at ultrahigh energies, Quigg is the au thor of a celebrated textbook on particle ph ysics, past chai r of the Division of Particle and Fields of the American Physical Society and editor of the Annual Revi ew of uclear and Particle Science He was" fa culty member at the University of Chicago from 1974 91, a nd has been a visiti ng professor at Uole Normale Superieure m Pan s. at Co rnell and at Princeton.

And as an associate professor of managnn~t science and systems in th e School of Manag•ment, her knowledge of operations manag•ment and planning, as well as her ability to construct mathematicaJ models to solve business problems have fostered a deeper involvement as a troubleshooter in the world of emergency scrvica. Si mpson taps into her dual roles as firefighter and management professo r to provide in-house consult mg services on operations manage- ment and planning for Gainesville Fire and Rescue in Gainesville, Fla. "I've always been haunted by the notmn that thcrt is a lot of existing knowledge m the business world that could help the fire serv1ce; the key is 1demifying what will work and what won' t," says Sim pson. "There are thmgs that the fire service has developed that the business world doesn't know about and could use under certaJn circumstances... Businesses in c;ris1s, for example, can look to CC"rtain organizational elements that have evolved in the fire service, such as th e incident command system, a cost-effective. highly flexible and efficient management system that can grow or shrink to meet the needs of rapidly evolving ci rcumstances, says Simpson. The fire servia itself, she points out, is a very bureaucratic. hierarchical structure o rgan i1..ed "against a high' des= of stress."

Description An account of the resource The UB <em>Reporter</em> began publication on January 22, 1970, a time of tumult at the University. It succeeded the newsletter, <em>Colleague</em>, and to this day, serves as the official source for "in house," internal news. The first issue included an editorial, "Why The Reporter?" explaining the rationale for the newspaper: <br /><blockquote> <p>The feeling was that the University lacks a sense of community—that communication is too helter-skelter—that too many groups feel alienated, apart. Somehow, it was felt, if these groups—faculty, student and staff—could come together on the commons and share their concerns and ideas, their activities, their aspirations and whatever else they have to offer, community and communications would result…But it will not produce instant community. Each of us will have to work toward that goal.</p> </blockquote> <br />The Reporter ceased print production in May 2009 when it became an online only publication; in Spring 2016 it became a daily publication.  The Reporter was re-named UB Now in Spring 2016.

We consu lt intemaUy with 1he campus to assist departments in reducing hazards and conducti ng their work in compliance with safety and environmental laws, regulations and policies. WheO stating our mission, I also like to say that we are the friendly ca mpus resource that helps departments to p repare safety programs, analyze hazards and stay out of trouble wuh the regulatory agencies. Your office runs the.flre drills •cross campus. What other types of drills or training do you supervlse7 The d rills are one Important aspect of th e ca mpus emergencypreparedness effort. In addition to the fir e drills, OES coordinates w1th , meets , trains and runs drill s with several local emergency-respo nse gro ups. This is all in an effort to respond efficien tl y and effectively to natural disasters, fires and o ther types of emergencies that may anse on campus. ln the pa st few years, OES has been col laborating With departments to set up building eme rgen cy planning committees to work on building spec~fi c emergen cy plans, includ Ing evacuatio n drills .

C•mpus Commitment to S.fety7" The "Campus Commitment to Safety" is a document that was created in 2001 that emphasizes UB's commit ment "to maintaining the safety, health and well -being of its community-students, faculty, staff and visitors. It also rstablishes that faculty and staff have the r< · sponsibility to ensure that safety and health is maintained in their environrrlent and operations. The documen t describes how safety, heahh and environmental policy should be designed into· university activi ties. I believe that this com mitment is a starting point for all the things that we do at the uni versity, and it is important to rec ognize that we all have a role. The roles and responsibilities fo r safety often mean many different things to different people, so the "Campus Commiu:nent" helps to clarify these responsibilities for the cam· pus community. It is common ly OES's job to inform people of their responsib il ities for campus safety in th eir respective jobs and to assist th em in meeting their obliga tions . Copies of th e ..

I am a nati~e Western New Yorker who pursued a wesrward expan sion and then returned home . I grew up in the Rochester area and anended SUNY C.:neseo to obtain a bachelor's degree in biochemis· try. This technical background prepared me well for future endeavors. While working as a sum mer student at Eastman Kodak, I was introduced to the health -and· safety field and my interest led me to pursue a master's degree in public health , which ~obtained from the University of Michigan.

They need to think about what kind of hazards might be present due. to their work and what are the risks and impacts to people and the environm~nt. Al so, there are more than a dou.n regulatory and accrediting agencies that the ca mpus must comply with on safety, health and environmental issues.

In the meantime, there are mea sures individuals can tak.e, he says. installing a virw protection on the central email systmu to try to Oag destructive viruses embedded in is called "pull" technology in that it tries to ent\ce, or pull, customers to Web si tes, tle says. Spam, however, is an example of a "push" tech nology," Axlerod ex plam!,. '' It pushes its messages. and offen it to the potential cwtomer via email.

In fact, for_cverycomplaint that UB receives about spam originating from UB systems, "we enforce the UB policy against the use of UB facilities to send sucb email." he says. Perhaps the best advice that Eldayrie and Axlerod can offer those plagued by spam is to "exercise the delete key." Axlenod also advises email users not to tak.e spam personally.

Description An account of the resource The UB <em>Reporter</em> began publication on January 22, 1970, a time of tumult at the University. It succeeded the newsletter, <em>Colleague</em>, and to this day, serves as the official source for "in house," internal news. The first issue included an editorial, "Why The Reporter?" explaining the rationale for the newspaper: <br /><blockquote> <p>The feeling was that the University lacks a sense of community—that communication is too helter-skelter—that too many groups feel alienated, apart. Somehow, it was felt, if these groups—faculty, student and staff—could come together on the commons and share their concerns and ideas, their activities, their aspirations and whatever else they have to offer, community and communications would result…But it will not produce instant community. Each of us will have to work toward that goal.</p> </blockquote> <br />The Reporter ceased print production in May 2009 when it became an online only publication; in Spring 2016 it became a daily publication.  The Reporter was re-named UB Now in Spring 2016.

Honig is a biophysicist who specializes in bioinfOrmatics and in developing theor<!tical methods for analyzing the physical chemical properties of macromolecules. He is noted for innovating methods to oomput< and display the electrostatic potentials of macromolecules based on their 30 structun:s. Koonin's work iscono:ntrated on sequence analysis, protein structure/ function analysis and gene identification. His Evolutionary Genomics Rtsean:h Group has developed com- putational methods for isolaung dusters of orthologow group>-<~p­ pcarances of the same gene in differ· ent organisnu---ocross the 40 or so romplde genomic sequmces now in the public domain. L<vitt is a newly elected member of the National AcadevlyofSciences. He is known for his work in computational biology, especially protein folding. His pioneering use of an allatom potential energy function and Cartesian' coordinate energy minimization on an entire protein made molecular dynamics simulations possible. This also led to the popular )ack-L<viti method for rdining coordinates against X-ray data. Levitt also pioneered simulation of protein unfolding in solution, emphasizing quali12tive aspects and using film to show protein motiqJl. Primarily fOcused on proteins, he has contributed to the oomputational structural biologyofDNA and RNA. Using sequence/structure analysis and bioinformatics, he has classified folds in (!'flOinicsequences and axnpmd results of sequence alignment with those of structure. He has de..loped methods to combine disl2nt homology searches with automated modeling. Scheraga is one of the pioneers of protein folding. His experimenl21 work involves genetic engineering and hydrodynamic, spectroscopic imrmmochernical and other physicochemical measurements on proteins, synthetic polymers of amino acids and model oompounds. His theor<!tical work involves rutistical mechanical studies of aqueow solutions of .:mmo acids and peptides. Much of his r<search involves the determination of the pathways of folding of proteins, and the mechanism of action of thrombin on fi. brinoge:n, an important reaction in the blood-dotting process. LungflMe-upslinkedtobacteria By LOIS BAI<U Contributing Edito• respiratory tract in a more accurate way, we have shown that that hy- over S6 months conducted at th e Veterans Affairs (VA ) Western New NIVERSnl' researchers haY< found an association between bacteria in the sputum of patients with chronic obstructi¥e pulmonary disease (COPD) and exacerbations of the disease. answering a long-SI2nding question about the role of pathogens and COPD flare-ups. Results of the prospective study appear<!d in the Aug. 15 issue of the. New England Journal of MedicirJL COPD is the IOurth-leadingcause of death in the U.S.. according to the American Lung Association, and fatalities m closely linked to exacerbations.

"For years, people have hypothesized that bacteria played a role in COPD exacerbations, but studies performed decades ago found no difference in bacterial pr<senceduring s12ble periods and Oar<!-ups," said Tunothy Murphy, professor of medicine and microbiology and se· nior author on the study. ..

"Our finding. don't prove that a new strain causes an aaccrbation," Murphy said.

U Sanjay Sethi, associate professor of medicine. is first author on the study, which began in 1994. Set!U, Murphy and colleagues found that it is the particular strain within a bacterial species, not the volume of bacteria in general, that is associated with a COPD flare-up. This observation is a change in the way physicians have viewed the role of bacteria in COPD, Murphy noted. The thr-e< major pathogens implicated in causing exacerbations were H. inflUDJZD<, M. ml4rrhafu, and Stnp. ~moniae, the study showed. In addition to elucidating the role of bacteria in exacerbations. these 6nding5 m important because they point to novel ways oftreating or~ ...,ling exaa!rbations, Murphy said. "This information should lead to the development of vaocines to prevent colonization by the offending strains.

New apartments not solution to "quality-of-life" issues To the Editor: Creekside Village is supposed to be designed to meet a huge demand for housing for graduate, professional and married students. Lito: Aickinger (Coun), from tht outside, it looks liU it lacks enough green space to appeal to couples with kids. Like Flickinger, it also is located too close to major roadways. Like Flickinger, I will assume that it is too expensive and too small. We ne«i a room, our kid needs a room, then we have two computers, a printer and a scanner. How do people manage to cram all this into two-bedroom apart - ments? Both housing complex<S also suffer from the drawbacks of cam· pus Ufo-thcy are cut-off from the real world.

Description An account of the resource The UB <em>Reporter</em> began publication on January 22, 1970, a time of tumult at the University. It succeeded the newsletter, <em>Colleague</em>, and to this day, serves as the official source for "in house," internal news. The first issue included an editorial, "Why The Reporter?" explaining the rationale for the newspaper: <br /><blockquote> <p>The feeling was that the University lacks a sense of community—that communication is too helter-skelter—that too many groups feel alienated, apart. Somehow, it was felt, if these groups—faculty, student and staff—could come together on the commons and share their concerns and ideas, their activities, their aspirations and whatever else they have to offer, community and communications would result…But it will not produce instant community. Each of us will have to work toward that goal.</p> </blockquote> <br />The Reporter ceased print production in May 2009 when it became an online only publication; in Spring 2016 it became a daily publication.  The Reporter was re-named UB Now in Spring 2016.

If questions or problems arise, the patient can contact a pharmacist through a telephone hotline operated by the clinic. .. Our clinic gives patients a jumpstart for sticking to their r<gimens that the system. as it exists now, is not set up to provide," said Esch. That jumpstart is critical, the UB researchers explained. because when patients interrupt therapy for any reason , the virus has a chance to develop resistance.

A Ultra-small dati storage created BY JOHN DEllA CONT11ADA Contribut•ng Editor WO UB materials re sea rchers have developed an extremely sensitive nanoscale devi ce tbat could shrink ultra -high -density storage devices to record sizes. The magnetic senso r, made of nickel and measuring only a few atoms in diameter, could increase data storage capacity by a factor of a 1,000 or more and ultimately could lead to supercomputing devices as smaU as a wristwatch , according to Harsh Deep 010pra, associate professor of mechanical and aerospaa: engineering, and Susan Hua, directorofUB's Bio-Micro-Eiectro-Mechanicai-Systerns Facility and adjunct professor of mechanical and aerospace engineering in the School of Engineer· ing and Applied Sciences.

T Rcliable reading of the dati depends on producing a large enough magnetically indua:d change in the electrical resistance of the sensor. Producingadetectablechangeat room tern · perature is another challenge. In an experiment at UB, Chopra and Hua demonstrated that their tiny s,ensor produces an unusually large change in resistance in an ultra-small magnetic field at room temperature. The magnitude of the magnetic effect they created surpasses aU previous records. The results were published earlier this · month in Physical Review 8. The effect is based on spintronics,a rapidly growing field that employs not only !he clwgc. but also the spin of electrons in making electrical devicr:s. The current technology used in the heads. or sensors. that read bits from a storage disk is based on an effect called "giant" magnetoresistance (G MR). GMR refers to the change in the sensor resistance when placed in a magnetic field; the effect is typically less than I 00 percent. lnside .a hard drivt:. :1 r: M R .d~1ce senses the local magnetic field of a stored bit of data.

William Fals-Stewart, RIA investigator and research associate professor in the UB Department of Psychology, said the findings are of particular importance given that before treatment. approximatdy one-third of the children Uving with an alcohol-depende.n t fathtr and one-half of children living with a substance-abusing father exhibited symptoms of significant psychosocial impairment. ·Many of the children we saw initially were anxious. angry or depressed, and having trouble in school, either with their studies or in'teracting with peers," added Fals-Stewart. " FoUowing their parents' involvement in behavioral couples therapy. when both communication skills between the partners and the couples' relationship improved, the home environ ment improved sufficiently to make a real differe.nce in the quality of the children's lives and their functioning." C-- Web sites don't offer assurance with tr•niKtlonal sites aren't providing con sumers with enough assurances about the privacy, security and business integrity of the sites, according to a study by researchers from the School of Management. As a result, some companies may be. losing customers cona:med aboutlnternet fraud, theft of crediH:ard information or a company's abil ity to follow throu~ on iu promises, says H .R. R.ao, professor of management science and systems and co-author of the study, pubUsbed recently in IEEE IT Professional. "We were surprised by the results,• Rao said ·of the study, which reviewed the Web sites of 100 Fortune 1000 oompanies. "Independent poUs have shown that many consumers think Internet shopping is risky, yet many rompanies don't se.em interested in addressing this concern on their Web sites. "Assurance seals are a relatively inexpensive way for companies to gain the trust of co nsu mers,.. he added, .. so it's surprising that many co mpanies art not making this investment." In tht study, Rao and co- researchers Natarajan Sivasailam and Dan Jong Kim , graduate students in the School of Manage.ment, reviewed the Web sites of 100 companies from four industry sectors: computers and office equipment . general merchandisers, sp«ialtv retailers and apparel retailers. Of these I 00 compames, 72 had Web sites that allowed consumers to buy products online.

Spe.ci'ilty retailers (companies included Amazon, Home Depot and Zales), however, had more assurance seals than the other three industry sectors combined, suggesting that specialty retailers have a more customer-friendJy approach toe -com merce than do companies from the other sectors. Alcohol's role in dating studied Drinking •nd d•tlng IIUIJ be a dangerous mix. Whe.n women are drinking, they may be less likely to pick up on subtle cues and sexual pressures that normally wouJd raise a red flag. And when alcohol intake is high enough, it can impair a woman's ability to recogni:z.e cues of suual aggression and a date may lead to a physicaUy threatening situation that ends in rape. How alcohol intake affects women's re.sponses to sexual aggres- ~ sion is the focus of a new study funded by a $350,000 grant from the National lnstitut~ on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism being conducted at th~ Research Institute on Additions (RIA). "Women don't always realize how alcohol can alter their perceptions." noted Maria Testa, senior researdl scientist at RIA and adjunct assooate professor in the School of Social Work who is principal iOvestigator on the study. " If )'OU're in a dating situation where )'Ou're being subtly pressured to havt: sex and you can't recogni:z.e the subtle cues.." sht sa1d. .. th~ situation may end up seriously threatening your safety. ..

Description An account of the resource The UB <em>Reporter</em> began publication on January 22, 1970, a time of tumult at the University. It succeeded the newsletter, <em>Colleague</em>, and to this day, serves as the official source for "in house," internal news. The first issue included an editorial, "Why The Reporter?" explaining the rationale for the newspaper: <br /><blockquote> <p>The feeling was that the University lacks a sense of community—that communication is too helter-skelter—that too many groups feel alienated, apart. Somehow, it was felt, if these groups—faculty, student and staff—could come together on the commons and share their concerns and ideas, their activities, their aspirations and whatever else they have to offer, community and communications would result…But it will not produce instant community. Each of us will have to work toward that goal.</p> </blockquote> <br />The Reporter ceased print production in May 2009 when it became an online only publication; in Spring 2016 it became a daily publication.  The Reporter was re-named UB Now in Spring 2016.

The success of the Dallas conference is going to depend not on what has happened up until now, but on what we sec from here on o ut; said Susan Vivian Mangold, associate professor of law and director of the university's interdisciplinary Baldy Center Program on Childnn, FamUies and Society. Although the conference laid out a broad charter of changes that need to occur, such a.s the report ing of casa immediately to civil authorities and the removal of offending priesu from active ministry, real action easily could be stymied, she said. "It would be very easy to make the Dallas conference meaningless by keeping the status quo at the local level. I won't be surprised if that happens in a number of dioceses," said Mangold, a practicing Catholic. The conference produced the "E..- se ntial No rm s for Diocesan / Eparchial PoliCies Dealing with AJ - legations of Sexual Abuse of Minor1 by Priests, Deacons and Other Church Personnel,"' as weU as the "Charter for the Protection of Child ren and Young People." 10 The nonns were less pubhcized <llld require the approval of the Holy 5«. If there is no local pressure to change the environment for report ing and to put supports in place for victims who come forward, the local diocese can stall by awaiting approval of the norms by the Holy See," warned Mangold. The charter calls for the establishment of review boards composed of a majority of lay people who= not diocesan employees to assess allegations against priests and their fitness for ministry. Mangold emphasized that these boards should not do any preliminary investigations. "All allegations must be immedi- ately refmed to civil authorities who have the exper1ile and the ..mas to cleaJ with the llleptioos," lhe Did. 'l1ie dfectiw:nao of the boords in d>anging loaol pclidesand pnctias will JUnee on wbo io IIIIMd to the group."'!an.,e at the loaoll<..t JJIUII come from civil proCessiooab; the clnudt does DO! have the <>q><rtioe, 1101" the trust of the community, to handle these matters," Mangold said. Although the charter also calls for sanctions against priests who have co mm itted abuse in the past , Mangold expressed concerns over how that would be carried out. .. Who is goi n g to determin e which priests committed sexual abuse m the past, and how wtll the pubbc be informed? How Wlll we know the list of offendmg pnests l!t ·a complete one, g.aven the church's past attempts to keep these allega · uons quiet? .. she asked. · Enforcement of the charter rC'· quires locaJ reportmg to newly created oversight agencies at the Nauonal Conference of Bishops. Those mechanisms will be only as effective as the information that is gathered and reported out in each diocese. "'It is important to understand that one of the reasons we haven't heard more allegations is because theCatbolicChutch has not created an environment that encourages people to speak out," she said. Mangold added that children neal to know that it is all right to tdl so,.;,ne wben abuse has occurml, and parents need to be open to those meuages from their chil.dJm. Then, they need to go to civil autboritia, DO! their 1oal parish.

"What occun at the local level in terms of chan!Png policies and practices holds the~ to that question." Hospital mo~ty rates analyze~ BY LOIS BAKER Contnbut•ng Ed1tor study of data from more than 26,000 U.S. hospitalscovering outoomcs of 38 million patients has shown that people treated in private for-profit hospitals in the U.S. have a greater risk of dying than those cared for in private not-for-profit hospitals. The study, car ried out by researchen from UB, McMaster University in Hamilton, Ontario, and the UnivmityofToronto,appeared last month in the Caruulian Medi cal Association journal (CMAJ). The researchers undertook the meta-analysis of mortality statistics to help inform the debate under way in Canada over whether to move into the for-profit health-care-delivery arena " Most of the debate so far has foc used on eco no m ics," sa id P. J. Devereaux, research fellow in the departments of Medicine and Oini cal Epidemiology and Biostatistics at McMaster University and lead autho r on the study... The emphasis has been o n determining if for profit hospitals can contain costs and run more efficientlr, if having for-profits would create ' two·tier medicine.' and on the potential for foreign investors to become imdved and influence Canadian health policy in light of NAFTA (North American Free Trade Agreement). "What has been missing from this debat< is how expansion of private for-profit hospitals would affect patients," he said "We undertook the study to find o'l!_the relative impact A of private for-protit versus private not -for-profit delivery of hospital care on patient monality." Private not-for-profit hospitals are owned by religious o rganiza · lions, communities, regional health authorities or hospital boards. Forprofit hospitals are owned by shareholden or investors. To conduct their revi~. the researchers systematically identified all relevant studies that compared private for-profit with private notfor-profit hospital mortality. They ended up analyzing 15 studies containing data from approximately 38 million patients hospitalized in 26,000 u.s. hospitals between 1982 and 1995. The data were adjusted for confounders such as teaching status of the hospital , the patients' ~er­ ity of illness and hospitals' case mix. Results showed that for-profi t hospitals were associated with significantly higher mortality. "Although the relative increase in risk amounts to 2 percent in our analysis, which may seem small, the absolute number is frightening," said Holger Schunemann, assistant professor of medicine and social and preventive medicine, and UB author on the study. .. ln Ca nada, this perce nt is equivalent to 2,200 deaths yearly, which equals Canadian death rates for suicide, colon cancer or motor · chide accidents. The total number1 will be much higher in the u.s.; he said "They speak for thernselves." The resean:hers point to pressure to achieve the expected profit for investors as the probable cause of this increase in monality. "Heads offor-profit hospitals are rewarded based on meeting or sur· passing th e profit margin ," said Devereaux. When reimbu.rsement comes from the sa.rnesou..ruas notfor-profits, such as from Medicare, for-profits are faced with trying to achieve the same outcomes while having less to spend on patient can:. "'These issues raise concmlS that the profit motive causes hospitals to limit care in ways that affect patient outcomes. and our findings suggest such concerns are justified." The m<ta-analysis .-.suits have signilicant implications for bealth-ca~ detivery ..All data are derived from U.S. st udies," said Schunemann ... The results are directly applicable to the American public. Being treatC'd in a private for-profit hospitaJ puts pa tients at increased ri sk, a nd the number of private fo r-profit hospitals in the U.S. is growing." Addi ti onal researchers from McMaster University were Pete r Tl Choi, Christina l.acchetti, Bruce Weaver, Ted Haines, John Lavis, David R.S. Halsam, Mohit Bhandari, Deborah f. Cook, Stephen D.

Funding for the workshop came from the National Sciena Foundation. T he worluqop also featured commentary from social scientists and public-policy make;. who discussed improvement of emergency response to complex disasteB like the World Trade Center attack. .. The engineering and emergency-response issues encountered following Sept. II closely parallel those expected to follow a damaging earthquake in a highly populated U.S. urban center," says workshop co-organizer Michel Bruneau, MCEER deputy director and professor in the Department of Civil, Structural and Environmen tal Engi neering in the School of Engineering and Applied Sciences. "One of the objectives of the workshop was to see whether earth quake-engineeri ng technologies can~ married to existing technologies to achieve enhanced performance of buildings in the event of terrorist attacks," he adds. Bruneau was joined at the workshop by UB colleagues George Lee, d irecto r of MCEER and Sam uel P. Capen Professor of Engi neering; Andrei Reinhorn, professor of civil, structural and environmental engineering and co-director of the universitfs Structural Engineering and Earthq uake Simulation Laboratory; Andrew Whittaker, associate professor in the Earthquake Simulation Laboratory, and MichaefConstantinou, professor and chair of civil, structural and environmental engineering and co-director of the Structural Engineering and Earthquake Simulation Laboratory. Lee, Bruneau, Whittaker and Reinhorn were members of an MCEER investigative team that visited Ground Zero 10 days after the terrorist attack to assess damage to buildings surrounding the wrc. Their analysis was discussed at the workshop and bas been published in a MCEER special report, "Engineering and Organizational Issues Related to the World Trade Center Terrorist Attack: Overview of Damage to Buildings Near Ground uro."

In research presented recently in Atlanta at a meeting of the Ameri· can Thoracic Society, Holger Schuncmann, assistant professor of medicine and social and preventiV< medicine in the School of Medicine and Biomedical Sciences, ~rted that drinking wine recently and OV<r a lifetime was associated with better lung function. The study found no association between lung function and total amount of alcohol q:msumedsome previous studies had found a negative effect--nor between lung health and alcohol from beer, wine coolers or liquor. "This finding may indicate that nutrients in wine are responsible for the positiV< effect of alcoholic beverages on lung function ; said Schunemann. "Red wine in moderation has been shown robe beneficial for the heart, but in this case the relarionship was stronger for white wine."

In the first demonstration in humans of this capacity of estrogen, endocrine researchers at UB have shown that estrogen may suppress production of several pro-inflammatory components at the cdlu1ar, molecular and plasma I<V<ls. Results of this prdiminary study wert prc:sc:nted at the annual meeting of The Endocrine Soci<tf, held earlier this month in San Francisco. "If estrogen has a prominent antiin8amrnatorydfect, this action may help to explain why women haY< a much lower risii of atherosclerosis (which begins as an in8amrnation of the blood vessel walls) than men until menopause," said Paresh Dandona, professor of medicine and head of the Division of Endocrinology in the School of Medicine and Biomedical Sciences, who is senior author on the study.

Description An account of the resource The UB <em>Reporter</em> began publication on January 22, 1970, a time of tumult at the University. It succeeded the newsletter, <em>Colleague</em>, and to this day, serves as the official source for "in house," internal news. The first issue included an editorial, "Why The Reporter?" explaining the rationale for the newspaper: <br /><blockquote> <p>The feeling was that the University lacks a sense of community—that communication is too helter-skelter—that too many groups feel alienated, apart. Somehow, it was felt, if these groups—faculty, student and staff—could come together on the commons and share their concerns and ideas, their activities, their aspirations and whatever else they have to offer, community and communications would result…But it will not produce instant community. Each of us will have to work toward that goal.</p> </blockquote> <br />The Reporter ceased print production in May 2009 when it became an online only publication; in Spring 2016 it became a daily publication.  The Reporter was re-named UB Now in Spring 2016.

Helju A. Bennett, associate professor of history and chair of the Faculty Senate Information and Li brary Resources Committee, told K"nators that the Wegman's space was ideal because it is a short distance from bolh North and South campuses, providing for speedy access to stored books.ln addition, the space is large enough to accommodate the enonnow amount of shelving that would be needed, as well as possibly provide for a small reading room for people who want to use the books on the premises, she sOid. Bennett noted that freeing up space in the bbraries-if a deal is struck with Wegmans-would·offer an opportunity to improve the on-campus library faciHti~ . Although the results of a survey on li brary facilities recently cin:ulated to some faculty members have not yet been tabulated, "irtorrnal inquiries" have rnealed that cleanliness, noise and cxteTlSiw we of wmpurers intended for library reseaJ<:h for other purposes are among the problems often cited by library users, she said. When discussing the issut of what enco mpasses the ideal library, Bennett pointed out that members of her comminee recalled "humanfriendly" libraries they had work<d in.

Results presented recently at Experimental Biology 2002, the an nual meeting of the Federation of American Societies for .Experimental Biology, showed that a 16week program of resistance exercise lowered levels of several proinOammatory blood components and increased levels of certain anti-inflammatory fadors. "We don't know yet why this happens," said }aya Venkatraman, associate professor of nutrition aod senior author on tbe study. "Exercise may alter immune function directly, or it may act indirectly by modifying stress and neuroendocrine factors that may play a role in maintaining optimal immune star us during times of illness." Multiple sclerosis is a romp lex autoimmune disease or the central ncrvow system in which the body's·immune system appears to attack the sheath that prote<: ts and insulates nerve fibers, a process called demyelination. Breaks in the protective sheath disrupt the flow of electrical impulses, cawing loss of sensation and coordination. MS patients are especially susceptible to fatigue. This research on the effect of exercise on immune function in per- sons with MS is part of study headed by Nodine Fisher, assistant professor of occupational therapy and rehabilitation sciences. She is testing the theory that a program of resistance exercises will lessen the fatigue MS patients experience after the activities of a regular workday and decrease the amount of fatigue that remains the next morning. Exercisers use machines or free weights. concentrating on ill)proving muscular strength. e.o durance and contraction speed in the arms and legs. If inflammation of nerve tissue plays a major role in MS symp· toms, as several studies have im Plied, reducing inflammation could improve the ability to perform daily activities. Venkatraman took blood samples of 13 M S patients before and after the 16-week exercise program. Analysis of samples ,showed a decrease in proinflammatory cytokines (tumor necrosis factor-a and interleukin I b ) and a significant in crease in anti-in flammatory components (interleukins 4 and 6). • Resistance exercise possibly may induce changes in the body's immune function by lowering levels ·of cytokines and chemokines, which would modulate inflammation, which in tum would decrust fatigue and improve physical performance,'" said Venkatraman. Aparoa Krishnan, a graduate student in Vtnkatraman's laboratory, also contributed to the research. which was funded by The Jacob & Valena Langeloth Foundation. Rep ariel: 3 BrieO Comments sought on Lee Road master plan, draft ESI m The unlvenlty 11 10lldtlng commenu from members of the UB community o n the master plan and draft envi ronmentaJ im pact statement (EIS) for the Lee Road devdopment proj«t. Both do cuments can be viewed at < http:/ /www,'ub· houslng.-elo.-/leere>8ii.Jiotmi>. Commentson the draft EIS should be submitted on or befor. May 22; master plan commen ts are welcome at any time. The ambitiow P,lan would turn the relatively untouched stretch of land along Lee Road between the Fllicott Complex and the Student Union into a "coYege town center.• The proposed town center would be a 52-acre urban corridor of retail shops, housing, campus amenities and student services located along the shoreline of Lak< LaSalle, adjoining Fllicon with the academic spine. The dndopment would be accessed by an expanded Lee Road that could extend north of tht }ames }. Audubon Parkway and south to Putnam Way. The master plan was developed by Stieglitz Snyder Architec · lure through a stakeholder-based process. The process included a needs assessment, analysis of site conditions. conceptual design aJ ternativ~ and plan recommendations. The draft EIS was prepared by Environmental Design and Re search, P.C. The tee Road project ;, being developed in response to a need identified by the university, selected stakeholders, and the existing student population to create an enhanced ·campus experience through the attraction of a larger on-campus student population, the creation of a campus atmosphere aod community, the promotion of social gathering opportunities and the establishment of con· vmient retail and service-oriented facilities within the campus property, says Dennis Black, vice president for student affain. Another critical objective of the masltT plan, Black says, was to develop a safe, convenient pedestrian connection between Ellicott and the spine. Other goals of the project include enhancing the student-life opportunities and quality of the student-life experience, he sa~ adding that the university maintains that in addition to campw and program improvements, increasing the population of students who reside on campw would serve to"create a more cohesive campus community.

The designation as a Center of ExceiJencc in Information Systnns Assurance Research and Education ts awarded competi tively to universities that have proven they meet rigorous NSA requirements in both curriculum and research. Shambhu Upadhyaya , associate professor of computer science and engineering. will be center director.

Software aids oral historia.rls By PATlUCIA DONOVAN Contributing Editor UB histo rian has devel oped a unique application for a software origi nally developed for the industrial market-researcll field that has enormous implications for thousands of audio and video his· tory collectio ns held in archives around the world. Michael Frisch, professor of history and senior research scholar, has found a way 10 make these collections useful tools for education and resean:h by rendering them, for the fir.il time,searcllable and accessible. The application maintains the in tegrity of the original, firsthand oral documentation and obviates the need to use voice-to-page transcription or voice-recognition software. "This is revolutionary," says Frisch. "This process collapses what has been the great distance between archivaJ servittand scholarship and posterit y, and makes collections immediately available for educa tionaJ and popular usc." Frisch says it will be an enormous boon to oral historians. archivists and documentarians who work in audio, video, film or multimedia fonnats. They will be able to deal with the content in its authentic, spon taneous, richly affective form . The process employs Documat LLC's relatively new lnterdipper softwa re to record archived oral material directly into a computer A and permits the material to be in dexed, searclled and retrieved. It is a principal tool of Frisch's company, The Randforce Associates. which consults and assists users in the new field of digital oral-collec· tion management Randforce has just moved into the UB Technology Incubator. Frisch poinu out that oral and video history tapes are important because they offer deeply textured, historica11y important, first -person accounts and eyewitness reports of imponant events and personages. The conventional way of handling oral documents has been to tum the voice or image into text in the form of collection ca talogues, logs, in dexes and, most often, transcripts. .. These are produced at great cost," he says. ..The results are volu minous and expensively produced written texts that are only margin ally easier to search and seldom in dexed for ideas or concepts. .. The end resul t," he adds. .. is at a considerable rc:mo\1!' from the origi nal format in which authority was carried in the vo ice and image--the reason the tapes were product.-d in the first place." lnterdipper software originall y was developed for the industnal market-research field. It works well for oral-collection management. he says, because it permits the key pas· sages in oral and video history texts to be tagged, coded and copied mto an interactiv~ database that can be searched, indexed, catalogued and recopied. O nce transformed into interactive oral databases, they can incorporate photos, video dips and other materials that can be browsed and linked to further resources. "To apply this mark<t-research software effectively 10 lhe ..,-y differ· ent needs of an oral-history collection is complicated. however,and has a steep learning CUI"J<." Frisch says. That's where Randforcc comes in. He says the oompany will facili tate use of this technology by helping curators and archivists develop subject-specificcodes and index cat· egories for individual coll ections and assist them in the construction of the taxonomy. Once in place, the program will work in much the same way as a good wrinen index works to offe:r direct access to the contents of a coUection. In this case, however, the end product will have the additional ad vantages of digital immediacy, richly enhanced levels of cross-referencing and searching, and immediate out put of selected passages. Randforce is a small company that offers a range of services from simple consultaton to training and full project development, depend ing on client need. It already is at work on two con tracted projects through which it is exploring the application of its core technology to specific oral-history collections.

It will be followed by a rec.<ption. Presenters will include geneticists, pharmaceutical scientists, computer scientisu, biologists, chemisu and physiologists from UB, Roswell Park Cancer Institute and Hauptman -Woodward Medical Research Institute. Post·genomic research refers to research in the life sci~nces resulting from the mapping of the human genome. SpeaUrs wiJJ discuss their results and innovations. including the best ways to design experiments in the post-genomic era, new computational approaches to managing the data such experiments gen erate and new techniques to speed the identification of promising compounds, such as a genomics- based, high-throughput, drug-discovery system. The keynote speaker will be G regg Morin , vice president of MDS Proteomics, one of the leading companies in the field that is bridging the gap between genomics and drug discovery. "This iS a critical time for post·genomic research in Western ew York," said Kenneth Tramposch. associate vice president for r~rch at UB and one of the conference organizers. "-A lot of excellent post -genomic resurch is going on in W6tern New York, but it tends to stay hidden in the laboratories of ind ividual scientists," he noi:ed. .. This conference wiU provide an opportunity for the area's leading researchers from all three institutions involved in the Buffalo Cen ~ ter of Excellence in Bioinformaucs, as well as people from locaJ hfe sciences compames, to mteract and to share ideas with each o ther."

"It could cause great damage, not only to the students in question, but to our universities on many fronts. "It flies in the face of nerything that we stand for in this oountry," he says. "It restricts open aco<SS to education, reseal<h and knowledi!O' sharing. despite tho fact that we have been very outspoken as a nation against other countria that have instituted sud! restrictions." The directive, "Combating Terrorism Through Immigration 1\>lici<s," was issued in October. It has not ~ been implemrnt<d and is under ,._ viewbyaninteragencyworitinggroup overseen by the Whit< House Office ofScimcrand Tcclmology Policy.The gn>up has not sought input from ooUeges are oonarned that the fundamm. taDy open character of our education system may rnakt it impossible and universi- (to implement the directive)." Dunnett says ibett are KVeral problems with the directive. "Fim; he says. "50 to 60 percent of advanced graduate degJ<es in en- ties. Fields to be restricted by the directive are .. areas of study with direct application to the development and US< Of weapons of massdestruc· tion; which could include biology, physics, chemistry, computer sci· ena and engineering. Dunnett says tho w.apons' information tho directive seeks to resttict already is available in journals, books. on the Internet and at uniw:rsities abroad He also points out that vir· tuaDy aD terrorists identified since tho terrorist attocb of Sept. II 8"( into tho U.S. on tourist visas and were not students in Am<rican univenities. Approximately 30 million tourist visas are issued ....y year through a system much looser and less restrictive than that governing the slightly more than 500,000 student visas issued every year. last month,~ major associa· tions representing the interests of U.S. higher education prot<sted this fact to the administration and complainrd in a joint stateme-nt that"'W~ gineering and the sciences arc awarded to international students. American students generally are not inspired to enter these fields on a graduate level, and fOreign students typically are tar bett<r prepared for studies in sciena than ""' Ameri· can students. "So ifwe close puateeducation in sciena and engineering or oom· puter sci<nce to international stu· dents. who will fill our classrooms?" he asks. "Who will help- us do tho reseal<h in th<se fields! Whett will we get future faculty memben! The S<COnd problem posed, he soys. is the possibility of retaliation from other oountries in a position to restrict the acass of American students studying in their oountries or the refusal by affected nations to share their research with tho U.S. .. Even worse: says Dunnell , "these nations may refuse to assist us in funding expensive r~arch projects th;>t requi,.........nd now reccive--foreiftn corporate suppon." Third, Dunnett says tho directive is wtenforceable. "How can a school track tbt academicacrivitiesofstudents, who tend to c:hango majors aD the time CJn<:r they're in tho unMrsity?" he asks. He says the U.S. also needs to baJ. once its policies with recognition of the oontributions fOreign studrnts have made to many scholarly fields and to tho oountry as a whole. He points out that students from abroad tend to develop an appn:da· tion for U.S. culture and institutions that ...... tho u.s. wdl when they become leaden in their own ooun· tries or in international arenas. • As noted in The Chronicle of Higher Eduauion," Dunn<lt soys. "UN SecmaryGenoral KDiiA.nnan, a Nobel lawate,and KiDs Abdullah of Jordan .... American university puates and their knowl<ds< ond affiliation have been vuy helpful to us in tho present oonftict." He notes, hownu, that they are from "suspect" countries and undo. tho dit<ctiYo. would have their stud· ies restricted if they were going to school today. "We need to d<fmdl>ur land from terrorists, of course~ do," Dunnett says. "But in doing so,""' shouldn't let them win by changing the face of our country." �Rap oz.._ llay 9.2002/Vm.33. lt.ZB Raising the MBA profile ~B ~unors at~letes at annual awar~s ban~uet .

Description An account of the resource The UB <em>Reporter</em> began publication on January 22, 1970, a time of tumult at the University. It succeeded the newsletter, <em>Colleague</em>, and to this day, serves as the official source for "in house," internal news. The first issue included an editorial, "Why The Reporter?" explaining the rationale for the newspaper: <br /><blockquote> <p>The feeling was that the University lacks a sense of community—that communication is too helter-skelter—that too many groups feel alienated, apart. Somehow, it was felt, if these groups—faculty, student and staff—could come together on the commons and share their concerns and ideas, their activities, their aspirations and whatever else they have to offer, community and communications would result…But it will not produce instant community. Each of us will have to work toward that goal.</p> </blockquote> <br />The Reporter ceased print production in May 2009 when it became an online only publication; in Spring 2016 it became a daily publication.  The Reporter was re-named UB Now in Spring 2016.

For the next year or two, we're okay. But beyond that , it gets troublesome."

"There arl~ some d epartmenb th.u rl-nli)• use their teaching spau· very. very well. There Jre some oth ers that could improvc ut ilization." Nt-wman says. She abo describes three components that arc essential for good space planning at a univt'rslfy. .. First, you need an accurate Inventory of what space you have and how it's being used . We are well on our way to that," she says. "Second, you need a robust and well-communicated ;u:ademic planning cycle. wh= the growth and forus of departments and sdtools is in line with the llllivenity's larger goals. and that academic planning then gets rommunicated in a timely fashion to the various offia:s that have to deal with its effects, such as budget,pmonnel, enrollment, space planning. etc. "Part of this is an understanding of the time needed to go from plan to reality on space issues, Newman explains. " It takes time for me to be able to identify additional space opportunities. if they are needed. and negotiate them. It takes time to plan , estimate, find funding, design and build renovations. .. If I can commu~icate one thing.'' she stresses. "1t's that no one shouJd apply for a grJ.nt or create a new program that has space implications-tht:ycannot do it in thLircxistingspacc without renovations-without J~ng my office know." Newman notes that the cruumcb and processes for such notification are described at <-..,........u.ut.odu/ OSP/ lnclex.hbnl>. Faculty members cannot assume that if they get a research grant requiring new space that they will able to get that spaa: easily or quickly"especially now that UB is in such a space ounch," she says. "Not that we don't wan t people applying for grant.o-we do--but they need to think of the space issues early, so I have time to tkvelop options." The third component of space planning, says Newman, is the need for space·aJJocation policies and guidelines. At this time, there is no additional space on campus to convert into classrooms.. and the space that does exist is not very flexib le- which, she explains. makes it crucial that space and academic planning go hand in hand. "We have a long way to go to really incorporate that planning process and make it a continual thing." she says. Progress is being made, though. Newman ha s updated and im proved the space inventory with new software--a graphic database that links data and floor plans, signifi cantly improving the quality of the data and p ro viding a more accurate inventory of space. .. If you're in a situation like we are, where all your programs are growing and your space is not , we·~ going to have to root out those poorly u t ilized spaces and put them to other c!Ses," says Newman. �lby 7. 2D112MlUa. 27 Retention rates examined m FSEC panel finds that high school GPA still best predictor 1!7DOMIAL~CJWI Repottw- Assist.nt Editof T HE Faculty Senate Committte on Admissio ns and Retention has found that freshman retention has inmas<d only slightly in the past four years, despite unjversity-wide efforts to increase the rates.

But the effort$ of l;l.indrawan; St....,n L.Shaw,directorofinternational admissions, and the rest of their staffhav~ paid off. The number of iriternational st.udents at tending UB has been increasiog steadily durin,B the past five years, from 6.81 percent oftbe total uni versity enrollment in Fall 1996 to 11.07 percent of the total enroll· mcnt in Fall 200 I.

While on these fall recruiting trips, VB staff members also visit local high schools and international schools, as weU as the counsel secti o ns of the U.S. embassies, Hindrawan s3ys.

These visits are focused on trying to "conyincc students t.Q come here. trying to get the yield as high as possible," he says. Since that first recruiting trip in 1995, Hindrawan and his staff have significantly stepped up the overseas outreach effort. Besides Asia, staff members visit fairs and ·schools in the Middle East and Latin and C.ntral America. The itinerary for this spring included stops in Thailand, Philippines, Singapore, Malaysia, Indonesia, Japan, Taiwan, Korea , Maico, United Arab Emirates. Ku wait, Oman and Bahrain. Moreover, this year Cana~ ­ pecially Southern Ontario-has been a focw of efforts. Hindrawan notes th~t secondary education in Ontario is moving from a 13-year system to a 12-year system.

Staff anended educational fairs in Asia at theendofSeptember,and for the most part, only Japanese students and parents expressed concerns about security, Hindrawan says. Most Asian students have not let Sept. II change their plans to come to U.S., Shaw points out. "Can you imagine an American parent sending their 17- or 18-yearold child dear across the world where the parent doesn't speak the language and a catastrophic event happens there?" he asks. "(Asian ) Parents are much morr realistic and knowledgeable in a world view. Maybe they won't put their kid right in New York City, but they know they have to have an educa· tion, they want a good education. This is a relatively safe place. And they'll do it."

Description An account of the resource The UB <em>Reporter</em> began publication on January 22, 1970, a time of tumult at the University. It succeeded the newsletter, <em>Colleague</em>, and to this day, serves as the official source for "in house," internal news. The first issue included an editorial, "Why The Reporter?" explaining the rationale for the newspaper: <br /><blockquote> <p>The feeling was that the University lacks a sense of community—that communication is too helter-skelter—that too many groups feel alienated, apart. Somehow, it was felt, if these groups—faculty, student and staff—could come together on the commons and share their concerns and ideas, their activities, their aspirations and whatever else they have to offer, community and communications would result…But it will not produce instant community. Each of us will have to work toward that goal.</p> </blockquote> <br />The Reporter ceased print production in May 2009 when it became an online only publication; in Spring 2016 it became a daily publication.  The Reporter was re-named UB Now in Spring 2016.

Mulchand Patel, professor of biochemistry and senior author on the study, presented re::ultsofhis res..--arrh Tuesday at the E.<perimenc-.1 Biology 2002 meeting in New Orleans. The study provides a n l"'\11 perspective on obesity, according to Patel. "We are alway> looking at what happens later in life. Maybe we should be looking at the role of early metabolic programming." he said. "The results from this study involving the high-carbohyd~te- fed rat model "'1!8"' that what fOods human babies fed as newborns may contnbute to metabolic programming. leading to adult-onset diseases such as obesity and diabetes," Patel said. ... Overfeeding of formula and early introduction of supplemental weaning foods. such as cereals. fruits and juices that are high in ca rbohydrates, may be the culprits." = Metabolic programming, sometimes called dietary patterning, isn 't a new phenomenon. Epidemiologic studies of malno urished mothers, which showed that their babies often we re unde rweight a nd at increased risk for several chronic diseases as adults, led to the publichcaJth emphasis o n adequate nur-ri - tion during pregnancy. Several animal studies on maternal protein malnourishment or caloric restriction have shown that pre- and im - mediate postnalll) nutritional modifications have long-term consequences on adult-onset diseases. "Metabolic signals art reset in response to a high-carbohydrate diet, which induces permanent changes at the molecular level in our rat model," Patel said. "The HC phenotype is transfelnd from cell to cell. is expressed for life and is transmitted to succeeding generations."

I would go as &r as to argue that a student union is the community center of camp~a, serving students, faculty, staff, alumni and rommunity member.. Our union provides a venue for campus programming, activities, services and W:ilities that, when taken together, represent' a wdl-ronsidered plan for the rommunity tife of the roUege. In the early '80s, administrators on campus realized the_importance a student center and how it rould enhance student life on campus. In 1983, the Student Aaivities Center (SAC) was built the to address these campus ne~s. The SAC was designed to serve as a unifying force that could foster a sense of community that would cultivateendur· ing loyalty to the university. The building did just that for several years. However, in theearly'90s, the campus came to realize that the SAC was n~t a sufficient size to re- alize the needs of our growing campus. In 1992, the SAC was expanded by mo re than I 00,000 square feet and renamed the Stu· dent Union. We consider it the .. hearthstone" or "living room• of the campus. Our b uilding features a large open lobby with an atrium , information-booth, lobby cou nter, · recreational facilities, reservation rooms and a conference theater. In addition, the union provides a home for university departments, student governments, publications, Student leadership Development Center, Commuter Lounge. Dining Services and more than 75 d ubs and organizations. machines, lockers and .. da.iiy schedule of evmts are just 1 f<W of the services that are available to the campus rommunity. lt has be<ome an integral part of the educational mission of the irutitution.

These programs provide the opportunity to balance rourse work and free time as cooperative factors in education.

We hoJ>.e to include the entire campus in our celebration of unity and tradition. It won't be a surprise if I give away too many hints. I would just sug· gest that you keep your eyes open for a fun-filled week of activities. Wh•t Is the mission of Student Acthrltlesf Our mission in the Office of Student Activities is to support the academic goals of the university by providing education_:l, social and culturat..t'ctivit:Ju and programs that mdaigned to enhance and muimiz.e stu· denu' co-cUrricular educational opportun.ities. In other words, we try to give students an avenue to become involved in campw activities,· develop interpersonal and leadership skills, explore new ideas and interests and, at the same time, enhance campus traditions . Through events such as September Welcome, Family and Homecoming Weekend, the office promotes a positive uni· versity environment that em· powers students to interact and share common interests, heightens awareness and appreciation of cultural differences. encourages expression of ideas, inspires creativity, fosters opportunities for leadersh_ip development, broadens stu· dents' awareness and understanding of their social respon· • sibility, and assists in mention of students leading to gradua tion. I would argue that a rollege education does not begin or end at the classroom door. Education and learning occur in aU aspects of roUege life. The Office of Student Activities strives to be a teacher of students as they be<ome involved in campw life and tradition.

The company, founded by Robert DOwnie, develop~ and manu· factures chemical compounds used to produce degradable plastics. The company's flagship product, Ecostar"', is a chemical com· pound that when added to resin, can be used to produce degradable or recyclable items, such as plastic bags, coated papers and plastic cups or ut~nsils . Ecostarn~ is sold to resin manufacturers and is licensed to a Japanese company. "Helping companies like Programmable Life 'graduate' from the incubator program and grow their business in Western New York is vitally important," said Robert J. Genco, vice provost and head of UB's Office of Science, Technology Transfer and Economic Outreach. ..The more of these succcs.s stories we have in the area means more jobs are created, bolstering the economic wealth of the region; added Genco, SUNY Distinguished Professor in the Department of Oral Biology, where he is chair, in the School of Dental Medicine. Programmable Life entered the UB Technology Incubator in t999 to build on research done by ECOssais LLC, an earlier venture started by Downie. Research advancements translated into a method of producing low-cost chemical additjves that facilitate the degradation of polyethylene, the most widely used plastic. Due to the cost of conventional degradable methods, degradable plastics account for less than I percent of production. Programmable Life is poised to grow the degradable market due largely to its lowcost production methods. Total revenues for Programmable Life last year were $2 million. The UB Technology Incubator, part of the uni~rsity's Office of Science, Technology Transfer and Economic O utreach, assists technology-intensivt" companies as they grow in to thriving businesses. located at I 576 Sweet Home Road in Amherst, the incubator has assisted more than 60 companies, boasting a 75 percent survival rate.

Jonathan Terrance, a senior mechanical wginecring major, took first-place: honors for his"HistoryofRed Jacket" program. The program featured a lecture/discussion with Richard W. Hill, Sr.• about the life of the Native American man after whom the Red Jacket resi dence hall is named. Emmanuel Fernandez, a sophomore computer engineering major, received the second·place award for his •Latin Dance" program. Fernandez provided residents with lessons in the int:ricacies of tra ditional Latin·American dance steps. A feast of Latin American cui- sine prepared by Fernandez followed the dancing. The third-place award went to sophomore Josh Solomon for his ..Open Drum Circle.. program. Soloman organized an "'orchestra of expression" that included a variety of drums and percussion instru ments and was led by a board-cenified music therapisl. The program brought together people of diffe rent cW tures, religions, age • genders and backgrounds. Junior Ivan Loh received hono rable mentio n for his .. Martial Arts Demonstration" program. Both on-campus and off-campus martial arts experts taught residents the history of martial arts and the related principles of non-violence.

For more information see, http://dublincore.org/documents/dces/. Description An account of the resource The UB <em>Reporter</em> began publication on January 22, 1970, a time of tumult at the University. It succeeded the newsletter, <em>Colleague</em>, and to this day, serves as the official source for "in house," internal news. The first issue included an editorial, "Why The Reporter?" explaining the rationale for the newspaper: <br /><blockquote> <p>The feeling was that the University lacks a sense of community—that communication is too helter-skelter—that too many groups feel alienated, apart. Somehow, it was felt, if these groups—faculty, student and staff—could come together on the commons and share their concerns and ideas, their activities, their aspirations and whatever else they have to offer, community and communications would result…But it will not produce instant community. Each of us will have to work toward that goal.</p> </blockquote> <br />The Reporter ceased print production in May 2009 when it became an online only publication; in Spring 2016 it became a daily publication.  The Reporter was re-named UB Now in Spring 2016.

In fact. if his wide-ranging goals for several international inatiativcs come to fruition, he eventually ma)' rival Jimmy Caner in hi,:i post -presi dential accomplishments. As the Student Associa tion 's Stu dent Choice Speaker, Clinton's n:· - nowned rhetorical genius and abil ity to connect seemingly disparate issues to one common theme captivated the audjence and left students visibly impr<SS<d and <Vm"inspired. Almost as a punctuation mark to Ointon's arrival at UB, the malin gering cold, wet weather abated to bolster the mood with a glimpse of spring-warmer temperatures an~ a near-perfect blue sky. Students wai ted outside in long, but orderly lines, filing in qutckly through the security check point at the entrance to the arena. They were respectful and optimistic.. and many were ea ger to praise the president of thei r youth- most of them grew up un der C linton's presidency-and like Lauren Dunn , a third-year psychol ogy major, thought he did an excel lent job as president. " I liked a lot of his polictes, espectaUy related to International rela - lions--and it's not every day you get to see a president," Dunn said Many students said they wanted Ointon to address the crisis in the Middle East and interestingly. several said they hoped Ointon would speak about education issues. repeatedly dis· pdling the "apathetic youth" myth. "I'd also lik<tosee how he handles any type of c ritteism ," said Ed Regner, a JUnior majonng in phys•· cal therapy, "and hear what he in tends to do after his pres1dency." Regner and fdlow physical therapy maiors Andy San Filippo and Saul Zion,also juniors. all agra-d that current gk>bal conflicts and nsing tuitio n costs were maJOr ISSu~ of concern to the m as they waited o utside tht' a rena. After Clin ton 's speech , the three men were not only euphonc because the y were able to shake Otnton's hand, but also because he spoke dtrectly to the•r concerns. Zion said Clinton did a good iob explaining his own efforts to solvt the Middle East crisis as pr<SidenL " I really liked that be ttit.erated all of his accomp li shments," San Filippo said, adding that he also appreciated the former president 's emphasis on education. Steven Hurt , a senior computer science major, said that what attracts him to C linton is th e former president's abiJjty to rdate to people o f different c ultures and back - grounds. "I really like BiU Clinton. He is a perso n who is for the what I really admire pcopl~at"s about him," Hurt said as he searched for a seat inside the arena . The mood inside the arena was o ne o f quiet . but electric anticipa tion--far from the rock concert atmosphere some anticipated.

About 25 perct'n t of Zimbabwe's adult population is infected with HIV. according to the United Nations. A primary goal of the program is to equip pharmacists at the Univus ity of Zimbabwe--home to the nation's only m<dical school-with training and resources so that they can begin to oonduct more clinical pharmacology trials of AIDS drugo; UB's online HlV Pharmacotherapy Network <http:/ /hlv. buffalo.~ also will be: utili:z<d tO CnCOU1li!J< the globaldisseminationofid<ason HIV pharmaootherapy, particularly as they pertain to developing nations.

"At the moment , Zi mbabwe lacks the resources and expertise to do advanced clinical pharmaco logy and pharmacotherapeutic rc..-scarch on HTV,but an exttnsivc number of AIDS cases are the re." exp lained Maponga.

While the affordability of AIDS drugs remains a key concern for Alrican natioiU, Maponga said training in the U.S. has dmxmstrat<d to him that even an enonnous donation of drugs would not by itself solve the problem in Zimbabwe. "Here in the U.S., you don't think about the:" cost of drugs.. but you do highlight the complexities of man aging HTV and that is most important," he said ..

Ringland maintains that the goal of these industries is to undermine and limit the public's a=ss to copyrigh!OO and non-copyrighted material by a combination of"draconian"laws and "restrictive new architectures for rompuler hardware and software." A major proponent of op<n soura: computing, Ringland p"""nted his views at the Faculty Senate meeting on April 9, lobbying S<rtators to pass a resolution asking the university to fuUy support the GNU/Linux op<rating system and tht use of opensourct application .59ftware on campus wherever possible. He also is seeking support of a pref- ers' access to mformatK)rl.

"How much of a step to similar restrictions on th e use of {Miaosofi} Word?" Ringland asked. .. These tams of use constitute unacceptable restrictions on tools es· sential for research, teaching and communication.• Dttp<r-levtl controls may soon become law if the cOnsum<r Broadband and Digital Television Promotion Act {CBDTPA } is passed, Ringland sa.i d " It wiU become iUegalto manufacture a computer that does not contain specific government-ap proved co ntrol measures in the hardware," he said.*Moreover, it will erence for open fonnats and oommunication protocols wherever possible also be iUegalto distribute any soli- on hopes of discouraging the gratuItous use of proprietary formats. wart programs that do not contain embed ded control mtchanisms.

For more information see, http://dublincore.org/documents/dces/. Description An account of the resource The UB <em>Reporter</em> began publication on January 22, 1970, a time of tumult at the University. It succeeded the newsletter, <em>Colleague</em>, and to this day, serves as the official source for "in house," internal news. The first issue included an editorial, "Why The Reporter?" explaining the rationale for the newspaper: <br /><blockquote> <p>The feeling was that the University lacks a sense of community—that communication is too helter-skelter—that too many groups feel alienated, apart. Somehow, it was felt, if these groups—faculty, student and staff—could come together on the commons and share their concerns and ideas, their activities, their aspirations and whatever else they have to offer, community and communications would result…But it will not produce instant community. Each of us will have to work toward that goal.</p> </blockquote> <br />The Reporter ceased print production in May 2009 when it became an online only publication; in Spring 2016 it became a daily publication.  The Reporter was re-named UB Now in Spring 2016.

There is Hermes, who, if you can hold him still, will "want to sit on the step/Under the stars for as long as you live!And stiff the fragrance of wine and barley/As it blows from the altar on a salty sea breeze ... " There is a guardian angd who tdls her charge that the plaid jacket he's about to put on "Will provt too loud for the soft-spoken sensitive woman you'r(: destined to meet tonight in tine at the theater/When everything depends on a first impression." And its pages are co lo red by saiots-oflicial and of a kind. There is St. Francis. who cannot comfort the dying young nun with the assurana that her suffering has a pur· pose. There is the limonata peddl~r who app~ars to the speaker b~sid~ a Roman cem ~t~ry in the brutal head of an Augu st d a y - a " windfall " from the "Bu· r~au of Joy." Even the Orad~ at Delphi, offer. a blessing-her foam . flecked lips utt<ring words meaningless and mysterious enough to mean what we need to believ~ they mean. ln a voice reminiscent at times of the Chinese poet li Po. whom he honors in a poem dedicated to his fri~nd and colleague, th~ late Mac Hammond, Dennis, a prof~ssor emeritus of English at UB, rides the wa~ of spiritual expressiveness and wonder, piercing th~ reader with observa ti ons so hon~st that they startl~ and sham~ . Haven't we sat bored at the death bed of a dear friend who forgives us even as~ rwitdled in silence,acutdy aware of the other things we might be doing? Haven't we allowed oursdves to imagine lives w~ envy as unhappier, more disappointed than our own--and hasn't it drowned our envy in a moment of satisfaction that allowed us to keep going? Dennis' gods, if they are real, if they are anywbe:re at all, are sitting in our kitchens. whispering in our ears about what to ord~r at Happy Jack's, soothing our hearts and mak· ing them ache. In one rather star· tling poem.• Progressiv< Health," the spealc<r is invited to become a god himself by donating all his organs while still alive. However long he might have to liV<, the would-be procur..- assures him, it is nothing compared to the total yean of life that would be reai!Ud by the six individuals who would receive his assorted parts. It is a burden the speak<r can hardly bear. Can he make a Lif~ six times as fuU as it would be if he died? He is ask<d , "Why be a drudge staggering to the end of your life/ Under this crushing burden when, with a single word/You could be a god. one of the few gods/Who, when called upon, really listens?" The book was not planned as one that wouJd expras rd..igious--" I would call then 'spiritual""-sensi bilities, Dennis says. "It was only in retr-aopect,afterthe poems wcrr wrinm, that I saw th~ connection among them," he says. "I'V< expressed an explicit rdigious p<rsp<etiV< in other books, but this one is more focused, which is why I chose the name 'Practical Gods,'" Dennis was not aware that he had been nominated for the Pulitur and, in fact, the news that he had ~-,....

A final self-study report will go to th~ NCAA in late Augusl , with a peu review team from th~ NCAA ap«t~d to come to campus in Nov~m~r.

Th~ purpose of the certification program. wh1ch began at U B on Oc1. I. 1s to help ensure th~ integntv o f the instlluti o n'<~. athletics operations. Institutions must sh ow NCAA's "operating principles" that place a "measuring stick" by which all Division I m~mbers are mea sured-an academic and fiscal in tegrity, gov~manc~ and rules compliance and equity, student-athlete welfare and sportsmanship. ,.

It is entirely feasible to study in a country prior to being proficient in the native language.

Th~ UB cen ter is focused prima· ril y o n children who hav~ come from riskyandlorimpoveri.shcdcnvironments, says Johnson , whose major interest is in th~ characteristics and theories of rt5iliencc in children and adults, which Johnson defines as is the ability to refrain from acting out th ~ risks that were inher· ent in one's biological and psycho· logical environment. In other words, persisting in spite of adversity. "'We ask questions like, 'how is it that somebody could becOme the president of the United States who ca m~ from a broken home, whose mother was a gambler, whose stepfather was a drinker, whose brother was a drug addict-that's Clinton's background," 53)" Johnson. "'We examine the riSks: and protective factors that people have ac quired, develop and inherit , because nobod y rea lly knows how these co me abou t. We have some clues. but there is not a lot of data on resilience," she says. "Understanding the (XX'try and drama of resiJience is vastJy differen t than understanding th e data.

"How do ch ildren of alcoholic parents make tt ? s h~ asks. "They have a parent who sticks: to family riruab--when the parent says din ncr is at 6, the parent sticks to it. If the pa=t has planned a birthday party, tile put y happens." says Johnson, dting the research of many of her peers. "' Deliberateness and m.aintcmnce of family ritualr-you deliberately plan someth ing and maintain the plan, regardless: of what the alcoholic parent is doin~r­ will protect the chil dren," says Johnson. And therefore, children of alcoholics are lesslilu:ly to bccom< alcohoUcs thcm~lvts. ln addition, Johnson differenti ates between the medical mod$1which focuses on risks, disease and victims-a nd what some proponents of resilience th eory call the challenge model-which focuses on the sl.l"engths and courage em bod · ied in even the most damaged youth. .. Most treatment and diagnosts based on a medical model sees prob· lems as diseases and deficits," says Johnson."If you have a problem, you are missing something. so mething ~ wrong. Therefore, medication can);)( prescribed as one of many treatment options.. There are many presumptions implicit and explicit about that approach. When we focus on risks. we focus on deficits." 'The medical model ts certamlr appropriate and has its place. But to take th e medical model and ap ply it to so mething lik~ behavior does sometfling dse . It makes us feel like we're diseased if our parems were alcoholic. diseased tf our pa ren ts arc sc hiZophrcnt c--d l:,eased,defeaiveordefiCient in some way," says Johnson. A growing body of research shows that dtildren who~ it often haY. a cl~ bond with at least one careta.ker-it doesn't have to be a par· ent-and ar< able to prob~ sol-. and engage in socia.Uy positiw ac· tivitics. And they don't have to be brilliant either, Johnson notes, just able to ~ good usc of what they baY< available to them. "If you take a non-medical per· spective, we are challenged by certain things in our mvironmmt and our biology; we are not placed at risk," 53)" Johnson. "Understanding resiliena ts my passion.

Johnson, who also studies the efficacy of drug-abll.S( treatment for women,sces program evaluation as another important task of the an ter... We do a lot of program evaJuation-a major focus (of the center ) is aamining the dfectiveness of a wide vari~ty of programs,"' she says. "The government used to giw u.s money for doing good things. They don't do that anymore unless w~ prove we're doing the good thing. So aa:ountability is the bag catchword in any kind of relationship that you ha\'t' with a fundcr," says Johnson. Funders are requinng a level of evaluation that servic~ provtders don't have the capacity to carry outthey are trained to deliver a good serVlCC, 53)" Johnson , but find it diffi cult to evaluate their programs. "A lot of clinicians and se rvtce providers are being required to dehver the servict" and evaluate their programs simultaneously. There are two problems with that: they don't have the training and can't provide an objective evaluation oftheirown program.

This theory contends that past reputation 1s more important than artistic merit in fueling the continued commercial success of entertainment superstars."

Our data shows that the dominance of a few music superstars 1.s decreasing and their hold on musK ~lc s i!> slipping," he says. "Thi s is lil=bility, of the superstar's music." Based on their findings. the re· searchers suggest that music companies support online music sam· piing services o r begin to invest more in their own sampUng services. They also recommend that compa nies use flexible pricing: charging a lower fee to sample unknown artists and a higher fee to sample superstar artists. which would help superstars r«aup some profits lost to pirating.

They can b< accessed directly through the online catalog <http:/I ubllb,buffalo.eclu/Hbrllria/e-resoun:es/ w.-/ > by searching on the title and then clicking on the URl that appears in the record. Many of these journals aJso can be accessed through one of the Libraries' approxjmately 90 fuU -te:xt electronic databases. These da · tabases not only serve as searchable subject-based indexes, but they aJso provide access to, m many instances, the full text of the publi cations cited. ScienceDirect, for instance, is an aggregate database that indexes and provides access to the fuU text of more than 850 Elsevier science+ related journals, while JSTOR leads to full - text ar+ tides in nearly 150 of the most mfluential academic journals across the disciplines. Another database. very popular with undergradu ates, is Jnfotrac Onefile, which provad es coverage of articles from more than 6,000 scholarly, trade and general-interest periodicals, including 3,000 fuJI +tcxt titJes. Sub1ects covered by lnfotrac include •the humanities, sociaJ sciences, general sciences and current ~ent.s. To S« a list of all the databases available through the Univtrsity Libraries, go to <http://ubllb.buffolo.edu/ llbrwles/ cgl-test/ tltle.cgl> EJectronic resources are not cheap. The exorbitant pnce of Jour nals and indexes/abstracts alway' has been a concern for academic libraries. and the increastng subscription costs of electronic equiva lents suggest that th•s trend will contin ue. For a littJe perspe-ctive on these costs, cons1der the database LEXIS -NEXIS Academ1c Un1verse, which allows access to full-text articles and reports from mort> than 6.000 magazin es, newspapers. wrre ~r.·ices, legal resourc~. rderence books and government pubhcat1o ns from around the world. One could purchase a loaded 2002 Lcxus sedan for same pnce as a one-year subscription to th1 s database. Another heavily used index. PA Research II, indexo 1,900 penodl · caJ ritJes--1 ,200 of them full-text -and costs roughly the same amount per year as a new 650+square-foot, fiberglass, rn-ground sw•mmmg pool. As for the annual cost ofCompendex Plus, the electromc equiva lent of Engineering Index . consider that for roughly the same pnce, an undergraduate at UB cou ld pay for his/her tuition for four years and still have enough money left over for a semes1erof graduate school. Of course, the costs of these electroniC resources vary dra.strc.alh from title to title, depending on content , coverage, at:cess restnl tion s, etc. Fo r instance. o ne might only sac rifice a month 's rent m a one-bed room nat to purchase a vear's worth of the Historrcallndt>x to Tht Nrw York Ttmt'5.

Description An account of the resource The UB <em>Reporter</em> began publication on January 22, 1970, a time of tumult at the University. It succeeded the newsletter, <em>Colleague</em>, and to this day, serves as the official source for "in house," internal news. The first issue included an editorial, "Why The Reporter?" explaining the rationale for the newspaper: <br /><blockquote> <p>The feeling was that the University lacks a sense of community—that communication is too helter-skelter—that too many groups feel alienated, apart. Somehow, it was felt, if these groups—faculty, student and staff—could come together on the commons and share their concerns and ideas, their activities, their aspirations and whatever else they have to offer, community and communications would result…But it will not produce instant community. Each of us will have to work toward that goal.</p> </blockquote> <br />The Reporter ceased print production in May 2009 when it became an online only publication; in Spring 2016 it became a daily publication.  The Reporter was re-named UB Now in Spring 2016.

The total impact on New York State, the study notes, is $31 million higher, or a total of$1,283,378,119. Th~ figures are in addition to the $288.6 million in state support for UB operations. The st udy notes that SUNY's flagship institution is a magnet an nually attracting $171.2 million in out-of-state revenues-including S 118.7 million in fede.ral funds for research. Much of that amount, it adds, would "be lost to other states if UB did not <Xist.• In terms of research expenditures, VB annually expends $187.7 million in funds from federal and stateagmcies, foundations, industrial research partna"S and institutional resources, according to data for the 199'J-2000 fisc..J yoar. In addition to its direct economic;" impact. US-which ranks in the top third of the nation's 154 major pabJic research univ<rsities-is "a vital economic engine for both the West · em New York region and ·Upstate New York" that provides ....raJ long· term benefits to New York State's economy, the rtport emphasizes. "The university offers an aceUe:nt education at an affordable price, produdng highly educated dtizms and futurt leaders, many of whom remain in New York State to form the backbone of its professional workforce," it adds. "VB also fosters the <belopmmt of newtedmology, products and busi· nesses; <DCOUraf!I'S public·><rVicr programs thmughout Western New York and New York State, and supports a wide raJl!lJ< of research projects that benefit people around the world" The univ<rsity, which offers the widest raJl!lJ< of academic programs of any colJese or university in New York or New England, has emerged as a key player as the Buffalo- Niagara r<gion positions itself for economic revitalization in the high· tech. know!· edge-intensiYe, global economy. UB is the lead academic partner in the Buffulo Center of l'.xallena in Bioinformatia, which is expected to <m1te thousands of jobs and be· come a mainstay of the upstate New York economy over the next five yrars. The report notes that UB is credited in large part for the r<gion ranking fourth among America's top 50 metropolitan areas in dtgren granted in sciena and engineering and 14th in the nation in academic research-and-devdopment funding. The rtport was prepared by the of. fice of Provost Elizabeth D. Capaldi. Pnesident William R Greiner said the university is"pleased and proud to prtS<nt this report. which outlines the considerable contnbutions that UB makes to the economic vitality of the Buffalo· Niagara region and to our great state. " Each year," he added, ·us sen· erates over a billion doUars in economic activity in Western New York alone. That's an imp~ 6~. but as this rtport makes dear, the depth and breadth of our overall economic impact on the region and state is even more significant.

Bruce Holm, senior via provost and UB's rcprescntativr at the an no uncement , noted that " it o nly makes sense that as a cenlcr of ex· cellence, Buffalo's bioinfo rmatics center sho uld be linked w1th other ("enters of excellence."

The domain represented by this new term was ultimaidy viewed by the French and other Westun European rountries as an application of computer scieo~ and, subKquenlly. a term in place of computeT science. The Russians, however, embraced the term .. informatika .. and took a broader perspective. They believed thai this emerging field was, in fact, a social science, concerning itself with the use of technology in various communities (e.g. scientific) and the in teraction of tcchnology'and human/ organizatio nal structures. In the United States, the term never caught on, o:cept in the area of medical informatics, where it was championed by individuals such as Ted Shortlitf (now al Columbia University). Here, it took on a broad perspective and induded "the cognitive, information processing and communication tasks of medical practice, education and research, includ ing information sc ience and the technology to support these tasks." Recently, other uses of the term emerged, including schools of informatics and several new fields, including bioinformatics, health informatics, nursing informatics, mobile .i nformatics and school informatics. Here at UB, we believe that informatics incorporates at least thrtt domains: ( I ) technology and its application, (2) information organization and structure, and (3) human behavior (especially communication ). The inters«tion of these three domains is of particular interest to us. -5-too-of ,,_._..._7 Several !'dated fields are converging, including communications, information science, library science and applied computer science, as well as educationaJ tech nology. A recent study indicated that from 198210 2001 , there have been 17 mergers or realignments of "library schools.· Of those 17, six joined with communication uni ts, six with education, two with computer science, two with graduate: education and one with man agement. I think the trend is to· ward the recognition that there is an opportunity to offer students something more than a traditional -·----h- degree program by joining forces. NoSdooolof-.- specllk focus or fod heft et 1187 Recently, our faculty completed a mission statement for the school stating that we are here .. to vigorously develop and communicate knowledge about the social aspects of information through sustained programs of research, and through teaching students to be leaders in the information society." They also said that "We value the perspective of history and tradition , and understand the potential benefits of technology in furthering a democratic society"' and that "our study, teaching, service and outreach concen trate on the intersection of human communication and information processes." If I were to sum all of this up, I would say that our focw is '"where pe:oplt and information meet." --·llM-fltln with other computer end c_put..·sc:Mn<e-,...tect_. gremshereat UB7 Keep in mind tbat in mauy countries the term iniOrmatia is used in piau of oompul<l' sc:ience, despite the broader inteTpr<tation found in its oripn and in applications sudt a5 mtdial in'fonnatics. Given the broad scope of the teTm informatia, particularly when U5ed in oonjunction with anoth.er area (e.g. bioinformatics), it is not surprising that there will be mauyplay.rs in the informatics initiatives at UB. as well as elsewhere.

Using chitinase, a protein known to be seaeted by V. dwleme by the same mechanism as cholera toxin, the n:scarchcrs engineered a series of W in.sertions, deleuoru and mutations m its amino-add chain. Using this mutagenic approach , they detcrmmed that the a:tracellular transpan signal of chitinasc was enooded by amino aads located betw<en positions 75 and 555 o n the cham.

'" In addttion to providmg new m lurmation about the transport of 'hltmase and cholera toxin. these findings increase our basic understanding of the mqthods by which proteins in general are transported across membranes, an essential ac- tiVity for any living cell," said Terry D. Connell , associate professor of microbiology in the School of Medicine and Biomedical Sciences and senior author on the research. Results of the research appear in the April issue (Vol. 184, No. 8) of the Jouma/ of Bacteriology. Cholera toxin is known to be secreted &om the bacterial oeU by a complex secretory machinery. However, rather than concentrating on the secretory mechanism-a focus of snerallaboratorics at other institutiona-CoMdl and colleogues Jaoon Folsta-,a doctoral student, and Daniel Mettt~er. research associate, set out to investigate tht structural signals on cbolera toxin that initiate its ttaNiocation.

"Once the signOling ~ is understood, d.-""' a variety of methods that CUI be used to blod< it, such as providing synthetic pcptid<s to compete with the signal, or other methods that oouJd be devised to disrupt the signal transmission," said Connell "If }flU know how th< toxins arc 5CC1'ded, }flU can stop the disease." Techniques for determining protein function by causing mutations through sequential elimination of amino acids and portions of protein are used widel y in microbiology, ConneU noted. During initial studlt."S, however, he and colleagues discovered that minor changes in the amino -acid sequence of cholera toxin necessary for identifying the c:xtrac.eUuJar transport signal often destabilized the protein. Their focus then shifted to the study of chitinase, another extiacellular protein of\/. cholmJe, which they chose as a model protein for cholera toxin.

"The extracellular transport signal of chitinase is located in two non-adjacent sites within this 480amino-acid-region," Foister said. " In the process of folding during protein maturation, these two regions are brought together to form an ac tive extracdlular transpon signal. If we can precisely locate that small portion of the protein where the signal is actually formed, we can target it for intervention." Foister is working with scientists at th< Hauptman-Woodward Medical Racarch Institute to cry>tallize and resolv< the thne-dimcnsiooal structure of chitinas<, which should enable him to identify precisely tht structur< or the moleail<'s atracellular transport signal.

Anthropologists to hold meeting in Buffalo Three UB faculty members among the 1,000 authors to present research papers By PATRICIA DONOVAN Contributing Editor W HEN theAmcncan Association of Phys ical Anthro pologists meets in Buffalo Wednesday through April 13, members of the Department of Anthropology, which is hosting the event at the Adams Mark Hotel, will be among the 1,000 authors to address a variety of topics in the field.

Fincham, cited by his peers as one of the moot influential researchers in dinical psychology, says it's not surprising that chronic relationship strain is associated with poor mental and physical health. "Given the potential an intimate relationship has to help or harm a person's life and health," he says, " i~s \'U'f important to attend to our relationships, to lceep them worlting as smoothly as possible"' that when problems arise, as they always will, we get through them with as little anxiety, anger and physical stress as possible. " Do we wait for our car to break down before we get it serviced!" he asks...Of course not. When it comes to our relationships, though, we tenil to wait for trouble befo"' we look for help. In fact, more people seek professionaJ hdp for relationship problems than anything else. "It doesn't have to be that way," Fincham says. "Relationship success is not due to romantic love or luck, but oommitmmt and hard work," he notes. Yet even with the best of in· tentions.approx:imatdy 45 percent of nt.-w marriages will end in divorce. .. The number one relationship problem according to coupl es and t:ounselors i ~ commu ni cation," Fincham says, "but with some help, most couples can improve communication and keep serious problems at bay."' At the very least, Fincham suggests tha t if a couple is having prob- lems. they should get help early, before the situation deteriorates to the point at which resentment and hostility rule the roost He points o ut that there are early warning signs th"tt the relation ship mi ght be headed for trouble. " Everyone argues, for instance," I NSULIN may interfere with the cascade of reac.rions that promote clot formation and platelet aggregation in heart - attack patients-and may help prevent dot formation and plaque development in persons at risk of heart attack and stroke, new research by UB endocrinologists has shown .

Results of the study appear in the March issue of the Journal of Clinical Endocrinology and Metabolism. ..Our earlier research showed for the first time that insulin exerts a significant anti-inftammatoryeffect on blood vessel walls, and now we have linked insulin with the mechanisms that reduce dotting factors," said Paresh Dandona, professor of medicine and senior author on the study. "These new findings suggest that insulin has the potential to prevent thrombosis that leads to heart attack and stroke. It also may be useful to study add relevance to results from the Diabetes and insulin -Glucose Infusion in Acute Myocardial Inf- arction ( D!GAMI) study, conducted in Stockholm, which showed that diabetic patients experiencing an acute heart attack who received a low·dose infusion of insulin and glucose had a better outcome than patients who weren't infused. he says, "but if aiJ!WII"'1ts become mo"' frequent or more heated than usual or if they don't r..olve the issue at hand, it's lilcdy that communication has broken down, perhaps because the couple's skills in that ...,. ='t· what they could be.

Description An account of the resource The UB <em>Reporter</em> began publication on January 22, 1970, a time of tumult at the University. It succeeded the newsletter, <em>Colleague</em>, and to this day, serves as the official source for "in house," internal news. The first issue included an editorial, "Why The Reporter?" explaining the rationale for the newspaper: <br /><blockquote> <p>The feeling was that the University lacks a sense of community—that communication is too helter-skelter—that too many groups feel alienated, apart. Somehow, it was felt, if these groups—faculty, student and staff—could come together on the commons and share their concerns and ideas, their activities, their aspirations and whatever else they have to offer, community and communications would result…But it will not produce instant community. Each of us will have to work toward that goal.</p> </blockquote> <br />The Reporter ceased print production in May 2009 when it became an online only publication; in Spring 2016 it became a daily publication.  The Reporter was re-named UB Now in Spring 2016.

"This program is intended to foru.s our research interest into areas of va nt age of some of the unique capa - bilities started here in Buffalo, Bessette said, referring. to the Amherst-based company Ultra-Scan. Ultra-Scan, founded .in 1989, has developed a technique for fingerprinting or finger-imaging using ultrasound techniques that will take a print of the finger very similar to a sonogram, he said, adding that the technique is reported to b< superior to optical-scanning systems in producing bener and more secure images. "The technology has been rdined so that it is being UStd in a 'smart card.' which contains a chip that can imbed a pe.rson's fingerprint, faciaJ digital photographs and a voice print." he noted. One of the reasons this technology is important,~ told senators at thrir monthly mming. is that it will allow images to Jx takm of children's fingerprints. There is no ot her technology that accurately records the fmgerprints of children, he said, because the dermal ridges of a child's fingers can b< very fine and difficult to read . The ultrasound scanner also can take images through grease, grime and even su rgical gloves, making it useful for many practical a~ lions, Bessette noted. Additionally, Bessette told the senators that he anticipates very significant funding in the gove:mor•s 2003-04 budget. He noted the budget proposed for NYSfAR for this year (2002-03) is $250 million, with the Senate and Assembly expected to augment that by as much as an additional $250 million to SSOO million. Morrover, ..Ther~·s been discussion of tying some of the future anticipated casino revenue into sup- port of sci= and technology research, so the amount of future support has be<n projected to reach as high as S750 million." said Bessette, fonnerly a m=ber of the faculty in the [)q>artmcnt of Surgery in the UB School of Medicine and Biomedical Sciences. He also reported that the billio~ ­ doUar Federal Aviation and Transportation Act includes $250 million earmarktd for state agencies to funnel into security-re.lated research.

Our founding dean, Dr. J. Warren Perry, was one of the leaders in establishing the allied-health professions--another term used to represent health-related professions. Because of Dr. Perry's lcadenhip, our School of Health Related Professions was the first school of its kind within the SUNY system and N~ York State, not to mention one of the first half:dozcn allied-health schools in the country. The major strength of the sch,;,l dearly is its dedicated faculty and staff. This dedication,is reflected in the excellent national ranking th a t the school enjoys--both in terms of its teaching and r~a rch missio ns. A particular strength of the School is the Center for Assistive Technology ('CAT}.

Allied-health schools are plagued, at least in my opinion, by two major weaknesses, both of them related to the fact that these schools are formed by a combination of diverse training programs in the health professions. This diversity threaten s these schools' identities and imposes high oper:ating costs to teaching programs faced with accreditation needs of separate professional organizations. The major weakness of crutlng.- ·-..-this There's ..so been of UB of ...... ltand7 ~ The plan is to expand the mission ofHRP and create a School of Public Health and Healih Professions. We have just started the process and are exploring options.

But moJt importantly, the school would be organized around .inter· cfuciplinary centers that would fo.. cus on areas of public-health relevance and would build on the strength.of the UB faculty, both within and outsid< the school (e.g., environmental health, chronic diseases, maternal and child health, obesity, etc.). It is a bit too early to proVide an exact timetable, but I have received enthusiastic support from both the faculty and the administration at UB and we now are in the process oflooking at the details of the implementation plan and at sources of funding. What Is the Muter of Publk He•lth (M.P.H.) program7 The Master of Public Health Program (M.P. H.) is a new profcs· sional degree program we initiated Iall fall in the Department-of Soci al and Preventive Med.icine aimed at training public-health and other professionals in the public- health areas. Traditionally, M.P.H. focURs on five concentration areas--epidemiology, biostatistics, environmen tal healf.h . health behavior and health administration. The UB program offers opportunities in only three of these areas-health administration, epidemiology and biostatistics--but we are working to expand our offerings. What types of careers would this cia9roe pnpare • stuclent to punue7 The M.P.H. degree offers a broad range of career opportunities. These arc linked to the con,.,ntra· tion area chosen by the student, but include working for county or state health departments, hospitals and other health-care provid<rs, federal and non-federal agencies, pharmaceutical industrics,hcalth-res<atch instituti<lns, international health orgaqizations, etc. In addition to representing a professional ter· minal dqvcc, the M.P.H. pro· gram represents an opportunity for health and non -health professionals to acquire the skills and knowledge to advan"" their careen in the health arena. Our plan is to create an M.P.H. program that will be able to serve other professionals and have in place joint li'"Ograms through which students pursuing a professional education can pursue additional train ing in public health. We have in place M.D./ M.P.H. and J.D./M.P.H. degree programs that allow medical and law students to expand their training to incorporate public health, and we are exploring other such opportunitit"S. What question do you wbh I hlld ••ked, •nd how would you h.,., answered lt7 I wish you would have asked me about recent successes of HRP. For example, HRP received the prized SEFA Chair's Cup for the 200 1 campaign. Last fall we in· du cted the first class of th e newly established doctoral pro· gram in physical therapy. We arc in the process or developing o( a new professional program at the graduate level in occupational therapy. New York State has accredited our biotechnology program, which offers opportunities for internships in biotech companies. Our B.S./ M.S. program in c:xrrcisc science (athletic training) has been approved by the state Department of Education. These arc all dear indications of HRP's growth and quest for c:x:ccUence.

Description An account of the resource The UB <em>Reporter</em> began publication on January 22, 1970, a time of tumult at the University. It succeeded the newsletter, <em>Colleague</em>, and to this day, serves as the official source for "in house," internal news. The first issue included an editorial, "Why The Reporter?" explaining the rationale for the newspaper: <br /><blockquote> <p>The feeling was that the University lacks a sense of community—that communication is too helter-skelter—that too many groups feel alienated, apart. Somehow, it was felt, if these groups—faculty, student and staff—could come together on the commons and share their concerns and ideas, their activities, their aspirations and whatever else they have to offer, community and communications would result…But it will not produce instant community. Each of us will have to work toward that goal.</p> </blockquote> <br />The Reporter ceased print production in May 2009 when it became an online only publication; in Spring 2016 it became a daily publication.  The Reporter was re-named UB Now in Spring 2016.

Ed itor stance on the problem of alcohol abuse by stu ~ dents. Dennis Black, vice-president of Student Affairs, reported to the Faculty Senate Executive Committc;e during a discussion on the topic at the body's March 6 meeting. Black organized the discussion for FSEC membm to address the n=nt events-which involved a UB fraternity-that resulted in the alcohol-related death of a teenager. Descnbing the problem ofaloohol abuse at UB as one that ..continues to grow dramatically and depressingly." Black told senators that "from the beginning to the end of the stu.dent process., this is an issue we are forced to deal with because of the world in which we 1M and the students we work with. We haW! stan· dards. We enforce those standards and apect p<ople to oomply with those standards,~ he added. Mor<OV<r, Black said he has no regrets about temporarily suspending G=k activiti<s at UB after a car crash in February in which one teenager died. The two teens involved in the crash, one of whom was a UB student, reportedly had been served aloohol at a UB fraternity party, then continued drinking at a Main Street bar. Three UB students were charged with serving alcohol to minors at the party an d subsequently were suspended from the uni'lel'Sity. The fra . tem ity, Alpha Sigma Phi, also was suspended, pending oompletion of the university's investigation into the incident. "I called a time-out in the activities to get the facts on the incident," Black said, calling his actioJ1 appropriate in light of the teen's death and because UB's fraternities and sororities were irM>Ived in rush activiti<s at the time. Black; losq>h Krakowiak, director of administrative services for resi· dence halls; Madison Boyce, director of judicial affairs and university ombudsman; laurie Krupski, director of the Living Well ~n ter, and Frank Carnevale, director ofStudent Health, detailed for the senator> the university's multi · pronged ap · proach to dealing with alcohol and substance abuse among students. The panel also reaffirmed "an absolute zero tolerance" policy regarding underage and binge drinking. "This is obviously a 24-hour, seven-dar-a-week issue." Krakowiak said of drinking in the resid~nce halls. "'We dismiss people from resi - dence halls on a regular basis," with about 20 students b<ing evicted every year, he added. In 2001 in the Ellicott Complex alone, 39 peTC<nt of all reported incidents w=o alcohol-related, he said Black said that enforcement of and oompliance with US's policy on alcohol and substance abuse is geared toward those who serve al cohol to minors or are a danger to themselves and others. "The first otfenS< we often refer to as the 'death penalty;.. he said of the tough st.mct on enforcemenl "We're not going to let you takeoth - er> down and we're not going to allow you to hurt someone else," he said. "It 's not our goaJ to I.J.Se criminal arrest as a form of punitive punishment." Black said, making dear that everything that can be done to c.ntt..ue4- ....,. :z New method produces «super" results By EUEN GOLDBAUM Contributing Editor A novel method o( com puting and modeling turbulent reacting Oows developed by U B re searchers produces results equivalent to·those generated by expensive supercomp uters and is anywhere from 30 to 100 times less expensive to use. The method is reported in thecurrent (March 2002) issue of Physics of Fluids. The research by engineers in UB's Co mputatio nal Fluid Dynamics Laboratory is expected to have a major impact on how engi nee rs. particularly those in industry, conduct computationaJ simulations of chemicaiJy reacting turbulent nows, such as those involved in hydrocarbon co mbustion and propulsion. While knowledge of how turbu lent flows affect internal combustion could greatly improve the efficiency and environmental impact of all kinds of engines, their complexityhas remained an overwhelminghurd1c to those trying to simulate them. "This methodology will revolu tionize the way people compute turbulent combustion," said co-author Peyman Givi. professor of mechani cal and aerospace engineering. Givi is co-author of the paper with L Y. M. Gicquel, a former UR doctoral student who is a research scientist at CERFACS in France; Farhad A. Jaberi. former UB posl· doctoraJ researcher who is an associate professor of mechanical engineering at Michigan State University, and Stephen B. Pope. professor of mechanical and aerospace engineering at Cornell University. The research overturns the conventional wtsdom in the field that held that a computational technique calk-d Large Eddy Si mulations (LF.Sl will not describe complex reacting nows with the same accuracy as at tained by Direct Numerical Simulati o n ( ONS ). which requires supercompu ters. "You can use this LES approach Most engi neers and engine designers ca nnot access super-computers because of the time and ex- and get DNS-type ro-ults." said Givi. in the late 1800s. According to Givi, "' People have known about LES for a long time, but our results demon · strate for the first time that we are the Reynolds averaging approach can only provide averaged or greatly able to implement it for chemically reacting Oows and get rdiable results." Givi said that until now, two main approaches have been followed for compu tation of turbulent combus- tion: DNS and Reynolds averaging. "DNS provides incredibly detailed results on phenomena that occur over very small time and length scales," Givi explained."but you need days and some tim es months of supercomputer time to obtain resu1ts and they are basic rt.'Sl.--arch -type results, providing information on ev- ery detailed asped of t)(e flow." pense involved, so they generally still use a much older technique , Reynolds averaging, that originated "s meared" results, and in many cases. they cannot b< trusted. The new approach taken by pivi and his colleagues is som~here in between DNS and Reynolds averaging, he said. "We began with the go..J of striving for the same kind of accuracy that you get with D. S; but without requmng the use of supercomputers." he said.

MelodlaJones The Jones chair endowm<nt was set up in 1932 to attract to Buffalo an eminent pason from Franco. By stipulation of the endowment, it only can be awarded to an outstanding French-born scholar. It has been very successful, with many prestigious scholars coming to UB. Among them are Andre Maurois, Michel Butor, Jacques Roger, Michel Foucault, Rene Girard, Jacques Derrida and Michel Serres. However, there was a decline of the Jones chair activities in the 1980s and 1990s because the environment had changed-the importance of lan·guage was not the same as it had been. Since I was appointed chair in 1999, I've tried to turn things around and take int6 account the new context in which we live. While there's a smaller section·of French being offered at UB, we've alwaY" had strong connections to other programs within US-with Comparative literature, with the Poetics Program, and particularly with the Center for Psychoanalysis. Wh•t •re some of the steps you 've taken to Increase the v .. lblllty of the Jones cholr7 I've done a n umber of things. Among them is to hire several adjuncts from outside UB to boost our core faculty teaching French and French studies. One of them, Francois Pare, a scholar in Canada specializing in 16" century France, is coming n:gu1arly to teach the subject, which is something that has been lacking in the program. I've also. developed the Francophone (F rench-speaking countries throughout the world) component of the program. We wanted to take advan tage of ou r posi tion at the border of Canada, and this is totally different from the way things have been run in the past. We've also organized four conferences since 1999-•ome held , totally in French-that have attracted wd.lknown scholars, mainly from Canada. We ha"" a student conferrna coming up March 23 on the rq>resentation of woineo that will att ract many participants from Canada, but also froni such U.S. universities as Yale, Louisiana Stak University, the UniVersity of Oticago and Vanderbilt I'm very proud of the fact that our student conference last year on violena in literature was considered to be so good that its proceedings will be, published in French Canada. That is a major achievement for us. We've also started a French film festival, which we've opened up to include Spanish and Italian films since ttle focus of the Department of Modern Languages and Literatures is now on these three languages.! want the Jones chair money to be seed money for coiJaboration within these three programs (French, Spanish and Italian) on cultural events and lectures. The }ones chair also is funding scholarships in an attempt to attract better graduate students and maintain a good French program here at UB. So fur, the chair is funding $1 ,500 scholarships for seven teaching assistants. The Jones chair is a work in progress. l ~s really a unique thing to have an endowment specifically directed toward maintaining French language. We have had a prestigious past, and I think w.: still can do something to maintain this forthe2t • century. Tell me obqut UB's portkfpotlon In • coniOI'tlum of Fr•ncophone universities.

Why should students study Fre'nch, rather than Spanl~h7 For traditional reasons. French is a language that is still very strong as far as publications are concerned. In scholarly work, in the humanities, it's essential. Many works are translated from the French. Culturally, France is an important force in the film indus- try. And then French is very present in Africa-it's the second languase on the cpQJ.ipent. In some ways for Africans, it's important to use French to have their points of view known. French stiU is present in Southeast Asia-in Vietnam, Cambodia, New Caladonia, French Polynesia . French TV is .watched in Australia. And in Europe, the core of the continent is Germany and France. I think ~ur most important accomplishment is our association with a Canadian consortium of universities, which is actually the largest consortium of Francophone universities in the world. The consortium indudes seven universities in Canada, mostly French -spealcing, and UB Why Is It lntporbnt to study onother lafi9Uoge1 who have violated university poli cil'S is having an tmpact because rec idivi s m rates are low.

REPORTER and LSU in the U.S. It is through the consortium that the procz<dings of our student cxmli:rmoe are being published. I was able to iDYik a visiting professor from Canada to UB last fall, then I gave l<ctures in French Canada. So the connection is getting stronger. I think we are the only American institution having a French program connected so strongly with Canadian colleagues. Other U.S. universities contin.ue to look toward France. We still have this connection with France, but we are very much connecting with Francophone universities in North America and taking advantage of our position on the Canadian bor· der. We really are creating a center of attention for Buffalo. The world has changed drastically. While there is an overwhelming presence of English, I think it's very imp,o rtant for English speakers, in general, and for intellectua.ls, in particular, to speak another language. Even Cor children. it OJ><IIJ'up their minds and enabllS them to express thernoclves better in their own language. And it offers them an- . other velllde for linguinic expression. More profoundly, diversity is essmtial. There are still differences in the perception of life. It should be the mission of American universities to preserve diversity, not only within America, but to make the effort to speak the language of another. Who wos Melodlo Jones 7 She was a wealthy lady living in Buffalo during the 1930s who liked French. She gave money for the chair precisely because she thought Americans were losing sight of the importance of the more ancient languages, like Latin and Greek. She thought the Romance lan - guages, like French, had to replace traditional knowledge of Latin. She wanted to create this endowment for UB to preserve the quality teaching of French. France was far away-you didn't meet a lot of people from France in Buffalo at that time. Now, the world haS~&ed We can conneCt through the Web and through movies. We can listen to almost any language we want. There should be a new orientation of the chair, with the same general outlook Melodia Jones had, to preserve diversity in Buffillo and at UB. We need to rethink the mission of the chair, which is what I've been trying to do. She had a vision of <Stablishing this endowment to maintain French within Westem New York.

GSE to offer degree in Singapore By PATIIICIA DONOVAN Contributing Editor N response to a new training priority identified by the Singapore Ministry of Education. the Graduate School of Education (GSE) will offer a 36credit hour Master of Education Degree in School Counseling through Singapore's Center for American Education (CAE) in Singapore, beginning June 15. The 18-month-long program will be identical to the one curretJtly offered at UB, except that the courses will he in a modular,concentrated format with distance-learning components. It will include 27 credit hours of classroom instruction and nine hourS of fieldwork and practicum. Between 20 and 30 students will be enrolled at a time, bt."'ginning the program together and graduating as a group. UB faculty members will travel to Singapore to present a series of lee lUres for each two-month co urse module.

Janikowski Said the Singapore program will provide an opportunity for faculty members and students to deepen their understanding of cul turally seru.itive curricular material and is likely to anract overseas students to the department's doctoral programs.

Researchers from the School of Dental Medicine, working with the San N:lipe and Santo Domingo com munities of the Pueblo India ns in Santa Fe, N.M., found that reducing gum infections wi th antibiotics aJso improved diabetes control, based on concentrations of glycated hemoglo· bin. a marker ofblood sugar control. Another study involving Pima Indians from the Gila River Indian communitY in Mesa, Ariz., who have the highest reported rates of both diabetes and gum disease. showed that glycated hemoglobin levels don't full, even when sufferers have lost all of their teeth and thus no longer have periodontal disease.

C·ructive protein ansi fibrinogen are markers for . infiammatory activity associated with the development of atherosclerosis and other chronic diSl.--a.ses.

Understanding morphological evolution Beauty ofbutterfly wing patterns may hold key in studying how organisms evolved By RUN COOLOIAUM Contributing Editor T HE beautiful pattems on butterfly wi ngs are emergi ng as exceptional model s'ystems that may reveaJ much about how the shapes. sizes ,;and colors of specific organisms have evolved, a type of study called morphological evolution, according to the authors of the paper fea tured on the cover of the currenl (March 2002) issue of Trends in Ecology and Evolution. In "Deve.lopment and Evolution on the Wing," Ant6nia Monteiro, VB assistant professor of biological sciences, and W. Owen McMillan and DureU Kapan of the University of Puerto Rico describe butterfly· wing patterns as possibly the best an"imal system for understanding the deve.lopmentaJ and genetic processes that produce morphological variation in nature. The next step in understanding the genetics of butterfly-wing pat· terns, they note, is development of the first transgenic butterfly-a but· tcrfly in which gene expression is manipu1ated to see if certain genes control color pattern--an effort that is underway in Mon teiro's UB laboratory.

In an attempt to 1dcntify tho~ lw numl'rous studies fOCl.ISing on~ · mechanisms, Monteiro is working to create the world's first transgenic butterfly, one that she wiD breed in her lab to determine the particular genetic code that is responsible for the beautiful color> and patterns on butterfly wings. The researchers then will be able to test whether genes that seem to h< involved in color-pattern formation actually are important in directing the production ofdilfemlt pigments. "'A transgenic system is needed to test the causal involvement of genes that have already been shown through their suggestive expression patterns to be involved in color-pattern formation,"' she said "Evtn more important, it wiD allow us to 6gun: out the regulatory ~ gions of these genes that are turning them 'on' in a panicular spatial am> on the wing. These wiD be, in my view, th~ prime candidate regions tO look for variability in DNA sequences that correlates with variability in color patt<m. My job is to find out what are the signals that tell each scale-cell on a butterfly wing to pro· duce a particular pigment during development and to find out how those signals chang<' across different ~­ cies and through evolutionary time."

For more information see, http://dublincore.org/documents/dces/. Description An account of the resource The UB <em>Reporter</em> began publication on January 22, 1970, a time of tumult at the University. It succeeded the newsletter, <em>Colleague</em>, and to this day, serves as the official source for "in house," internal news. The first issue included an editorial, "Why The Reporter?" explaining the rationale for the newspaper: <br /><blockquote> <p>The feeling was that the University lacks a sense of community—that communication is too helter-skelter—that too many groups feel alienated, apart. Somehow, it was felt, if these groups—faculty, student and staff—could come together on the commons and share their concerns and ideas, their activities, their aspirations and whatever else they have to offer, community and communications would result…But it will not produce instant community. Each of us will have to work toward that goal.</p> </blockquote> <br />The Reporter ceased print production in May 2009 when it became an online only publication; in Spring 2016 it became a daily publication.  The Reporter was re-named UB Now in Spring 2016.

You also serve as president of the SUNY Student Assembly. What does that entail? The primary and most imponant duty of the president is that of trustee. By allowing the president of the assembly to focus on his/her duties as trustee, the assembly is able ass= the best possible student representation on the board. The internal and everyday wodtings of the student assembly arr mostly left in the hands of the vice president and other elected board m<Jllben. with the president being as involved as he/she chooses or feels is appro· priate. Assembly matters, such as networking b<twcm schools, providing assistana to student gOV<mments and individual committee meetings, usuaUy are left to the meetings and ultimately still runs the organization, it is in everyone's best interests to delegate any micro -management tssues so as to stay focused on the trustee positjon and its responsibilities.

The needs assessment will be conducted , in part. thro ugh brain - storming sessions over the World Wide Web between palliative-care workers. medical personnel and patie nts' families. .. The need is very great," says Donnelly,anassistant professor in the Depanment of Counseting. School and Ed ucational Psychology in the Graduate School of Education, and research associate professor in the Department of Psychology in the College of Arts and Sciences. "Many terminally j]l children and their families have to rdyon expen- sive hospital intensive-care units or traditional hospice home healthcare services, ntither of which are able to offer the all-inclusive emotional, medical and psychological support they need." · A successful palliative-carr program. he says. can provide effective medidl assistane< and help the fam ily prepare for the future, frequently with the aid ofsomeone who already has been through the proe<ss and can anticipate upcoming challenges. Advocates for the terminally ill, such as Childrt"n's Hospice International, say that the fact that there are so few pediatric palliative-care programs seriously reduces the quality of life for many patients and fami · lies during a time of acute emotiona1 distress. Coupled with the financial difficulty and commun ication prob· lems common during such times, this often leads to great famil y stress and even breakdown . Donnelly is a member of a part · nership involving UB, the Center for Hospice a nd Palliative Ca re . the Hospice and Palliative Care Association ofNewYork State and the New York State Departmeijt of Health. The group obtained demonstra tion -project funding from the federal government to conduct the needs assessment, develop instruments to measure palli3tive-care program outcomes, docummt patterns of communication about endof-life topics and develop an apptication for Medicaid waiver for children with life-limiting illnesses. The demonstration project builds on the pioneering and nationaUy recognized Essential Care Program of Western New York's Center for Hospice and Pafijative Care. The grant is beginning the second year of funding and a third year's funding is anticipated for 2003: Before ~atric palliative-care programs can be estabtished on a large scale, the needs of those to be se!Ved must be formally assessed and sucassfuJ program modm developed that can help guide the decision-making process of those working in this field. The needs niodel, along with outcomeand CO!itassessment.s, then may become the basis for a ttst:ablethenry of pediatric paltiative-c= programs. The team, which includes three doctoral studen ts in the Department of Counseling, School and Educational Psychology-Ch ris Mesmer, Kyle Cieply and Carrie Thu~ is coUaborating with the Center for Children's Health Outcomes in San Diego on the development of measures of child and family quality of life. Donnelly points out ·that although there are some good assessment measures for adult paltiative-care programs. the"' is no assessment standard for pediatric palliative care: To determine how to imp""" family-patient-staff communication, they will look at the narure of f.unily-staff interactions recorded in patient charts and relate these to records made later that describe how f.unily members cope with end-of-life issues.

Donnelly credits the intense lobbying of UB al umnus Donald .

Y world. You want to cu~ cancer. You want to make life better for poople. These are the reasons, says Mary Bisson, to pursue a career in the sci· enccs. "The other reason." she adds, "is because you just love it. If you don't love it. you won't do well and you won't be happy." Bisson, professor and chair of the Department of Biological Sciences, has worked hard. along with other ences 111! perceived and tl<3ted, and in the numbers of women entering the field. Bisson now has four female colleagues in the department But as a graduate student, she says there were only a few other women pur· suing degrees in the sciences and "we were still, to some extent, oddities." .. When I first came here as a professor in science, the Association for Women in Science was very impor· tant to me j ust to meet~ ortler women, and there are certain problems that women would haye in dressed va-y dowdily, she was ignored.

One significant difference Bisson has noticed between her female and male colleagues over the yean is that women more often choose research projects that an: outside the mainst=m. "Maybe they choose them because it's less competition and they're avoiding competition, or maybe they aren't looking for a competitive field; they're just look- female scientists in Western New York. to attract young girls to the sci· ences. Bisson and. her coiJeagu,es have done outreach work with girls ing for what interests them. That's a generalization and you can often find exceptions," she says, adding that she. too, chooses projects because she is interested in them and not because a particular project is going to be "the next hot topic." in middle schools and hosted conferences at which girls can meet female scientists and women engaged in non-traditional fields. "The basis for being able to go on in the scie nces occurs in grade " I still get grant proposals back schools-and cert:ii;uy the middle schools·. You have t.o have a good saying that I shouJd do more main stream projects. I doscioncebectuse I love it ~d I'm not going to do sci· grounding it:l mathematics, and you have to have good discipline and high expectations of yourself" She said that when talking to young pe-ople. female scientists don't gloss over the fact that the sciences are difficult "Science is not easy for women or for mf11," she says.

So it was great to have this well. The local chapter participates in middle-school science fairs and sponsors a prize for young girls. "The main thing that we try to do is present the scientist as a human being-the .idea is that aU scientists network of support of wOmen for that reason," says Bisson. The problems particular to women, she notes. ranged from issues that would seem trivial to concerns that were less trivial-things that her male colleagues may not aren't men with gray hair and lab coats and that scientists do all kinds of different things," she says. The first woman to be promoted to full professor in the UB Depanment of BiologicaJ Sciences and the department's first female chair, Bisson received her doctorate from Duke University during the 1970s and has seen numerous changes over the years in how wOmen in the sci- have found interesting. For eXample, the appropriate attire for meetings. "Men had uniforms." she recalls. "They would wear a suif if they were of a certain status. I noticro that if a woman dressed really nicely, she was trivialized because it was thought she was spending too much time on her appearance and, therefore, she couldn't be taken seriously. But if she also with standing up for youtown ideas." says Bisson. . Furthermore, she points out that women who spoke up at mtttings and presented new ideas often were completely ignored. But if a male colleague lat<r brought the same idea to the table, it was welcomed and he was given credit for it So. the challenge for women became how to emphasize that it was their idea first without allowing themselves to again be trivialized or ignored, she says. · However, Bisson notes, she's never had a problem with the credibility of her research being questioned because she is. a woman. "I was always a va-youtspokm graduate student and post-doc and early professor. It never occurred to me not to be outspoken, ence because someone else is telling me what to do. I'm not goi ng to jump on a bandwagon," she says_ Bisson's research-she studies plant physiology-has centered on a particular algae and how its transport systems regulate salt The U.S. Departmont of Agriculture currently is funding her research. "One of the main focuses I have is salt tolerance-which is an important agricultural concern because of irrig;ation, which tends to add salt to the soil." she says. One goal of the research is to transfer this regulatory m«:hanism into higher plants 50 they ain withstand heavily irrig;ated soils. The Department of ijiological Sciences has a reputation on cam· pus for congenia1iry, to which she credits the work of a fonner chair, Darrell Doyle, who, in th• 1970s, parleyed many retirements ~into a lot of great hires." "I would actually credit him and those hires that he made for setting the stllge for us being a very collegi!J.l, collaborative group," she says.

Primate evolution, life and the interpretation of hu man bone will be among the enormous array of topics to be covered April9-13 when the American Association of Physical Anthropologists (AAPA ), the largest association of physical anthropologists in the world, meets in BuffaJo for the organization's 71st annual conference. UB will host the meeting, which will take place in the Adams Mark Hotel in downtown Buffalo. Ted Steegmann and Joyce Sirianni, professors of an thropo logy, and C hristine Duggleby, associate professor of anthropol ogy, are handling local arrangements fo r the conference . Physical anthropology is a biological science that deals with the adaptations. variability and evoluti o n of human beings and their livin g and fossil relatives. Because it studies human biolog)' in the co ntext of human culture and behavior, physical anthropology also is a social science.

Description An account of the resource The UB <em>Reporter</em> began publication on January 22, 1970, a time of tumult at the University. It succeeded the newsletter, <em>Colleague</em>, and to this day, serves as the official source for "in house," internal news. The first issue included an editorial, "Why The Reporter?" explaining the rationale for the newspaper: <br /><blockquote> <p>The feeling was that the University lacks a sense of community—that communication is too helter-skelter—that too many groups feel alienated, apart. Somehow, it was felt, if these groups—faculty, student and staff—could come together on the commons and share their concerns and ideas, their activities, their aspirations and whatever else they have to offer, community and communications would result…But it will not produce instant community. Each of us will have to work toward that goal.</p> </blockquote> <br />The Reporter ceased print production in May 2009 when it became an online only publication; in Spring 2016 it became a daily publication.  The Reporter was re-named UB Now in Spring 2016.

The study, published in the Man:h I iss~oftheAmenam/oumalofF.pi­ dcmiology, shows that dietary carotcnoids other than beta-carotene. the most fr<quently invcsligated nutrient in that family, arc associated posi tively with lung function. Carotenoids are antioxidant vita· mins found primarily in orange. red. green and )~llowvegetablesand fruits. Green leafy vegetables. such as spin· Jch, kak and collard greens. are good sources of lutein and zeaxanthin. The researchers also found a strong association betweerl die~Jry. 1ntake of foods contai ning the anti · oxidant vitamins C and E and healthy lung function , results that supported their previous research. In a study published last May, they reported that high blood levels of vitamins C and E and the carotc"noids lutein , 1..eaxanthin and beta-cryptoxanthin were associated with bet ter pulmonary functjon. ..The importance of this study is that it strengthens the hypothesis that carotenoids are antioxidant vitamins that play a significant role in maintaining respiratory function. and that beta-carotene may not be the 'one' important carotenoid," said Holger Schunemann, assistant proft."SSOr of medicine and social and preventive medicine. and lead au thor on the study. " Impaired lung function is a.'\SO· Clatt-d with an increased nsk o(drmg, so 11 is important to determme the factors that could influence lung function," he said ... This information may he even more important for smokers, who have a heavy free· radical burden." This study \o\"aS based on dietary records and intervi ews obtaintd from 1,6 16 randomly selected resi- dents of Western New York ages 35· 79 who were free of respiratory disease. All participants performed stan · dard lung-function tests, which measured the volume of air they could expel in one breath--forced vital capacity (FVC}-and the volume fon: . ibly expelled in one second (FEV I). Of the several carotcnoids preva· lent in the diets of participants. lutein and zeaxanthin showed the strongest association with pulmonary function. Schunemann said. "We also found a positive associa tion between pulmonary function and dietary intake of vitamins C and 1:.. hur ,.,rh~,.•n w~..· ..::on:,1dered these an· tiOX!danr vitam1m simultaneously, o nly v1tamm 1: correlated sig.ni fi · cantlywith FEVI andonlyluteinand 7.caxanthin with FEY."' Taking vita· min C and E supplements didn't change these results significantly. " Further studies are needed to confirm these results.,.. he said, "and longitudinal studies could help to clarify whether this association is related to lung development in childhood and adolescence, or whrthcr it's the result of an accumulation of protective effects against oxidative damage throughout life."

Education tied to stroke risk Study finds as·education level rises, risk ofstroke death declines Contributing Editor f policymakers nttd one more reason topr<SSforagoodeducation for all Americans, here it is: Education is a boon to public health. · UB researchers have found that as education level goes up, risk of I death from stroke and brain hem- orrhage goes down. The relationship likely exists for other chronic diseases, as well. Adnan I. Qureshi, assistant professor of neurosurgery and lead au- thor of the study, presented the resu lts at the recent 27th Interna- tional St roke Conference in San Antonio. The research was conducted at UB's Toshiba Stroke Research Center in the School of Medicine and Biomedicine Sciences. The stud y assessed data from a representative sample of the U.S. population totaling more than 21.000 persons. After adjustin.g for several conditions th a t could mnucnce a participant's nsk of death from stroke or brain hemorrhage-age. race, gender, hypertension , ciga rette smoking, serum cholesterol, socio~ economic status and diabetes--the findings showed that persons with less than a high school education had a 40 percmt increase in risk of dying from strok< compared to those with more than 12 years of schOOling. The risk of dying from intraccrcbral hemorrhage was twice as high for people with less than 12 years of education. The underlying reason for the association between education level and risk of fatal strok< and intracerebral hemorrhage is not clear, Qureshi said, but he noted some possible explanations. "Education probably contributcs to one's awareness of.risk factors and the imporW:tct ofpreventive efforts," he said "''ll= may be sociopsychological &ctors involved that we arc unable to identify at this point. Or there may be issucs related to di/Ter-. ences in lifestyle that may explain, in part, the observed association. . "It is definitely possible that diet and physical activity may be different based on your educational statu s,..

These are issues that require further evaluation." While it would be reasonable to assume that education affects socioeconomic status, and that the rela- T HE director of the Edu · cat ional Opportunity Program updated the Faculty Senate Executive Committee on the program at the group's Feb. 20 meeting, highlighting its goals, achievements and mission of recruiting the underscrved populations of New York State. The primary mission of the program, Henry Durand told senators, is to recruit New York State residents who are financially and educationally disadvantaged. EOP counselors blanket the state and every Buffalo public school in the spring and fall, hoping to attract students who might otherwise not have the opponunity to anend a university. Once eligible students have identified, roun.selors usc both non-cognitive evaluations and traditional forms of assessment to determine students' needs before they enter tht" program. Once en ~ rolled in the university, students are provided with every possible means of support to make the tranSition from high school to coll<ge a successful one, Durand said. "If we can identify a student who actually is performing at a reputable level, in spite of a number of obstacles, then we feel fairly certain that with the kinds of support we provide, they can successfully navigate what they need to do at UB," he said. Academic-achievement high lights for EOP for the 200 t -02 academic yea r include 272 students who completed the Fall200 I semester with a grade-point avcrageof3.0 or higher; 24 students who have met gradu ation requirements for this February and 139 stude nts who have ~ed for graduation ~H th e enJ of the spring semester; 77 students who were included in "Who's Who in American Collegcs and Univcrsities"forthe2000-01 academic year, ahd nine students who wert' accepted as Ronald McNair scholars for 2001-02-with five of the six graduating scholars planning to attend graduate school. EOP students' high school GPAs and SAT scores upon a=ptana at UB are not far off the mark of their li<sluncn peers,Durand said For the fall 200 I semester, the average EOP high school GPA was 81, compared to 90 fo( incoming freshmen, and their SAT scores averaged 939, compared to 1156 for other incoming freshmen. The graduation rate for EOP students over a six-year period is 42 percent, compared to 56 percmt for the non-EOP population. Moreover, UB's EOP students beat the national EOP graduation rate by 34 percmt, he said EOP coll!t5elors, Durand pointed out, provide the same level of academic adviscm<nt that all UB students receive, as well as pe=nal and social counseling, crisis counseling, mentoring and advocacy. They also teach classes and oonduct life-skills workshops on issues such as teach· ing students about budgeting and offt-ring individualiud, group or classroom tutoring for most UB courses. Counselors are heavily invoiYed in the recruitment process., often going out in teams with re~ cruiters from the admissions office. "If a student has a specific problem, whether that problem is personal, financial, academic or scheduling, referral and/or advocacy with a social service agency, the y can go to their counselor and tht.')' can ~t~t that kind of supjXl rt ," Our;1nd ..a1J.

"We try to put the student in the living environlllj!nt in which they willli~ with the kinds of pressures they will have to adjust to." The ethnic make-up of the program is diverse, Durand no red, with African Americans comprising 3540 perct-nt of students enrolled, Asian -Americans comprising 25 percent, Hispanics 20 percent and Caucasians 13 pe.rcent. Native Amt-rican enrollment is less than I perant, he added. Seventy-five percent of the students enrolled in EOP come from households with incomesof$20,000 or less, with the majority of students-36 percmt-<oming from households with incomes below $9,900. To qualify for the program. students must meet income guidelines. For example, $25,000 is the maximum amount of combined inrome allowable for a student roming from a four-person household. "EOP contributes a cOnsiderable. amount to the university's quality of life," Durand said, noring it is one of the largest student employers on campus, with 75-90 students working at EOP at any given time. "We have some challenges in EOP, with state support declining and rising expenses. The freshman students this year, with all forms of fi nancia.l aid at maximum levels, will still be S l ,800 short of what it costs to attend US. We're scrambling to try and figure ou t how to work it out." said Durand.

Description An account of the resource The UB <em>Reporter</em> began publication on January 22, 1970, a time of tumult at the University. It succeeded the newsletter, <em>Colleague</em>, and to this day, serves as the official source for "in house," internal news. The first issue included an editorial, "Why The Reporter?" explaining the rationale for the newspaper: <br /><blockquote> <p>The feeling was that the University lacks a sense of community—that communication is too helter-skelter—that too many groups feel alienated, apart. Somehow, it was felt, if these groups—faculty, student and staff—could come together on the commons and share their concerns and ideas, their activities, their aspirations and whatever else they have to offer, community and communications would result…But it will not produce instant community. Each of us will have to work toward that goal.</p> </blockquote> <br />The Reporter ceased print production in May 2009 when it became an online only publication; in Spring 2016 it became a daily publication.  The Reporter was re-named UB Now in Spring 2016.

The highly ambitious , multidisciplinary work, which in - volves crea tion of simulations of active volcancx:s. is being oonducted under a three -year, $1.9 million grant from the National Scic:nct Foundation's lnfonnation Technol ogy Research ( ITR) Program. Coordinating with counterparts in Mexico and focusing on three vol- canoes in that country, researchers with the Center for Computational Research (CCRJ, National Center for Geographi c Information and Analysis (NCG IA ) and the New York State Center for Engmeenng Design and Industrial lnnovauon ( NYSCEDII) are simulating rock avalanches, pyroclastic flows and debris Oows.

Meanwhile, there was a major cha nge in New York State law m ·terms of regional health planning, and also in the suppo rt of weak hospitals by the state. Under the new regulations, support essen ua!Jy was withheld from the three or four weak hospitals in the area, and they all closed. Buffalo at one time haC a Col umbus Hospital, a Sh eridan Pa rk Ho spital and a Lafayette Hospital, and possibly one or rwo others--they all disappeared as soon as funding slopped. The moral of that historic stoiy ts that as long as an~ institution k«ps getting financial support, it will survive because there always are parties that benefit by continuing the statw quo. suspect that in th~ long run, aU of KaJeida's patients will end up in the High Street location and in Amherst. h probably will takr an expansion at the High Strffi location 10 do it, but-having all tertiary patients at on~ location wiU generate considerable pountial savmgs for Kaleida. II lh•t wh•t•s h•ppenlng with Children's Hosplt•l1 There will continu~ to be a Children's, but it will be some· where other than in the Bryant Street facility. The sooner Children's supporters accept that , the quicker this comm unity will be able to make sam~ progress on Allvi ng its hospital problems. It appears so. As long as K.aleida keeps putting money into Children's, it wiU keep going beca use there are quite a few people who benefit from the present situatio n. As you may know, all but one Kaleida hospital is losing money at present. Only Millard Fillmore Suburban Hospital in Amherst is pro fitable. But K.aleida has reached th~ end of the prov~r ­ bial fi nancial rop~. It is financially bleeding to death . And th~ s tat~ IS not going to bail th~ system out. Hence, the people of Buffa lo have to decide which hospitals to close. With only 57 percent hospital oc· c upancy in the Buffalo area, Children's may not be the only on~ dosing. The newes:t physicaJ structur~ is Kaleida's High Street. location (Buffalo ·General)-all the other locations are old o r older. I So does tluot ......., tiM end of Children's Hospltal7 WhJ Is kalelda In such a fl - n•nd•l meu7 Largely because third - party payers, th~ gov~rnment and the HMO s essentially dictate to Kaleida what the y will pay. So within the resulting budget, Kaleida has to funct:Jon . There also are is sues of medical education funding and Kaleida probably will get so me r~lief in the futu re thro ugh supplemen tal sta te fund ing. But the fact that one of its hospital s is profitable raises th ~ issue of why th~ oth~r units can not also be made profitable. It is not quite that stmple . And Kaleida 's r oposal to dose Children's Is one of the managerial d<eUions it has to make. tiM CathoUc System flt Into tiM Where - - pktun1 The Catholic hospitals have similar problems. But they apparently recentl y addressed their proble.ms and made some difficult decisions. I don't think they have solved all of their problems, but they appear to be on the right track.

Police group recognizes UB research project PERF singles out UB work with Buffalo Police Department on prostitution study ay ~ LOHC;lHECJtU Rq>arter Assistant Editor unique, cross-disciplinary research project in volving UB and the Buffalo Police Department (B PD ) aimed at r~ducing st reet prostitution has received recognition fro~ a ~arional police group. The project, which partnered the BPD, the Univers ity Communit y Initiative's Regional Community Policing Center, the National Center for Geographic Information and Analysis {NCG IA ) and the School of Social Work, wdSoneof six 10 the country earning recognition from the Police Executive Re sea rch Forum (PERF). All of the projects sought to address a low-level crime by trying to understand its underlying causes. Pamda K. Beal, director of the Regional Community Policing Center. Michad Dnnacich, EricCountyassis- A district attorney and dir<ctor of the Community Pru6ecution Unit that focuses on low l<vd crimes, and Lt. Pallidt Roberts of the BPD presented the projocl at the 2001 PERF wnf..-. ence in San Diego in December. The catalyst for the project carne tn 1997 when the BPD received a Problem Solving Partnership grant from the Office of Community-Ori en ted Policing Servia that funded partnerships between police, community members and researchers. BeaJ, who at th~ time was a staff member in the School of Management, sern:d as project evaluator and resea rch coordinator between the police, the community--in this case, the Allentown As.sociation's Prostitution Task Fo~d a student from th~ School of Management 's Man· agement lnfo rmation Systems (MI S) program who hdped the BPD design a database for crime analysis. tan! Using instruments de.doped together with the policr and the Allentown task force, students in th ~ School ofSocial Work a>ndueled in tl:rviews with prostitutes and their customers, Beal said. "An important part of this projocl was that the research was drivm by thewmmunityand the~ told us what they wanted toknawand we found il out for them." said Ileal, who also wn:>1< an article about the project that was published by PERF. Utilizing crimt: mapping/geographic information systems, researchers at the NCGIA were able 10 map and chart 911 calls between 1996-2000, allowing them to identify .. hotspots., of prostitution activity. They also used the data 10 show that I0 percent of the nearly 1,000 calls received in 1996 came from just three callers. This information, combined with several strategies undertaken by police during the period. J<SU)ted in a 60 per=! r<duction of prostitution-rdated 911 calls, Beal said. One of the key stralegics. she says. was a policr initiative called "Operation Johnny"-in whidl "customen" were arrested instead of the prosti tut.,._working in tandem with aJ. temative scnt~:ncing for first - tim~ offenders, Ileal said. That sentencing included mandatory anendana in "john school" foe the customen and the participation of prostitutes in the Magdalene Program, a drug and alcohol rehabilitation program operated by the Beacon Center and designed specifically for prostitutes. The BPD found that while the recidivism ra~ for prostitutes who are arrested wasabout66 percent, the opposite was true foe their customers after amst and participation in "john school"-less than I percent were arrested for the crime again, Beal said. �f!bruary 21. 2JJ2JVIi 33. 11.11 Rep ode& Law school to hold minority recruitment program A> part of N.otlonM Mlnorlty Law Studcnl R<cruicmcnl Monlh , chc Law School will holp a visication luncheon and program comorrow for minonry high school students who are interested in l~m ­ ing more about attending law school. The program is designed to expo~promising young scholars 10 the field of law, said Lillie Wiley. asSociate director of admissions and djrector of recruitment in the Law School. "Acmrding to !he U.S. CensUs Bureau, only 7 pen:entoflowycn in !he U.S. are from minority groups: 3 pen:enl are African -American, 2 pcrcenll.atino and fewer than I pen:enc are Asian American," Wiley said .. We want to send a strong message to studmu, faculty, adminis· lntors and the legal community: Don'! tum back," said Wiley. "We've come too far to let recent assaults on affirmative action erode d · foru to diversify the legal community in America." The program will begin wilh a continenlal breakfast, followed by a prescncation by Wiley on " How 10 Gee into Law School." Following lunch, Michelle Hucchinson, partner in Brown and Hutchinson, a minority·owncd law finn , will p~nt a keynote ad dress, and a law professor will prescnl a mock class. The day also will include presentations and panel di.scu.ssions by representatives of various minority student organizations, including the Black, Latind and Asian Law Student as.sodations. •Some people bcHeve the tide may be turning against diversity efforts," said Wiley... In view of the chalJenge to affirmative action , we must do more to make people of color know that the law school is a place for them and that we are working hard to achieve a diverK environment on our campuses. The negativity generated by recent news about affirmative action cannot be allowed to foster a percep· tion !hac law schools have closed !heir doors co people of color. Legal education is too important to the rights of all Americans to al · low this misconception to exist." The program is funded by che Law School Admission Council (LSAC ) to raist- awareness of mmority recruiting assues facing law schools. The effort comes on the he-els of setbacks to affirmative ac· tion in major states Iii«- California and Texas that hlivt vastly re duced minority representation in entering law school classes.

A ddegation ofUB faculty members traveled to Cuba last month for a six-day workshop to facilitate: the effort, which is scheduled to begin in the fall, pending final approval. The project has generated considerable excitement among faculty members at both schools b«ause the curriculum raises comple:x and intriguing questions about the very nature of the Caribbean "space" in geography, history, language, myth and memory. Charlc:s Stinger, interim dean of the College of Arts and Sciences who led the ddegation •.called the workshop "a remarkable intellectual and cultural event" that resulted in "fruitful discussions between UB faculty and their University of Havana counterparts... "As a result of the week's activity," he added, "UB faculty have made important contacts with UH faculty and established the basis for furthering th e .educational and resea rch goals" of the joint effort. Setting the stage for effective collaboration between faculty mem bers who will teach in the program a nd possi bl y conduct future re search together was, in fact, the in- tended goal of the workshop, said lose Buscaglia, assistant professor of modern languages and literatures and director of Cuban and Caribbean Programs at UB. .. Perhaps m o re impor tantly," Buscaglia added,"we wanted to take this opportunity to begin a conver- sation with our Cuban countaparts about the- broad trans-disciplinary, innovative and integrabve vision of diate participation in the p~ gion. Credits forcou.neworkat UH sistant professor, Depanment of the Caribbean that we espouse and are promoting through our partnership with the uiuversity of Havana" Noting the inadequacy of existihg.modds and the lack of resources for the study of the region, Buscaglia said the organizcn of the workshop in both Buffalo and Havana want to will be transferable to UB.

It recently launched the Center of the Am<ricas, a broad and intc:rdisciplinary initiative for hemispheric studies.

For more information see, http://dublincore.org/documents/dces/. Description An account of the resource The UB <em>Reporter</em> began publication on January 22, 1970, a time of tumult at the University. It succeeded the newsletter, <em>Colleague</em>, and to this day, serves as the official source for "in house," internal news. The first issue included an editorial, "Why The Reporter?" explaining the rationale for the newspaper: <br /><blockquote> <p>The feeling was that the University lacks a sense of community—that communication is too helter-skelter—that too many groups feel alienated, apart. Somehow, it was felt, if these groups—faculty, student and staff—could come together on the commons and share their concerns and ideas, their activities, their aspirations and whatever else they have to offer, community and communications would result…But it will not produce instant community. Each of us will have to work toward that goal.</p> </blockquote> <br />The Reporter ceased print production in May 2009 when it became an online only publication; in Spring 2016 it became a daily publication.  The Reporter was re-named UB Now in Spring 2016.

Waguerwill continue to serve UB on a pan-time basis as senior counselor to President Wtlliam R. Greiner. "I think I'm' ready," said Wagner, noting that he and his wife, Judith, have given the idea a lot of thought. "I have the incredible luxury of being able to leave on m y own time, with no unhappiness or reg~ts."

Ellicott renovation work to get under way m Informatumal meeting scheduled for Feb. 21 for members ofFllicott community . , SUI WUETCHEit Rrport..- Editor N ·i nformational meeting has been scheduled for 4 p.m. Feb. 21 in Red Jacket Dining Hall in the Ellicott Complex to answer questions from members of the Ellicott community about the upcoming $5 million renovation of the Faculty St udent Association's retail and food-service operation in the residential complex. The renovation would convert the Student Club area of the complex into a "village square.. for resi dents, as wdl as faculty and staff members with offices in the build. ing. Among the amen ities planned are a food court, a Starbucks-style coffee hoUS., an expanded Elli convenit-nee story, a relocated flubie's pizza shop, a new bus waiting area and entrance, and a two-story, glass atri u m area on Marshall Cou rt overlooking l..ake LaSalle. The project is expected to get un der way next week with some minor asbestos abatement work in the former Oasis and Cr<ativeCraft Center, said Mitch Grern, executive di· rector of FSA. Once the asbestos abatement is completed, demolition work will begin in those areas, he said. The abatement process will con- A tinue during spring break-March 25-»--in the hallways leading to th e Student Club, which will be dosed off to all traffic. While full access to the hallways will resume on April I, they will be dosed again on May t3 when remodeling work be- gins. and will mnain dosed imtil the p roject is completed in January 2003, he said. Gr= {IOted that ground)>reaking on the Marshall Court work is expected to take place on or about April I , with excavation of the foundation for the new dining area set to begin before the end of the semester. Work on the Ellicott tunnel bus stop is scheduled to begin in May. As of May 13, the bus stop wiU be relocated temporarily to the Fillmore entrance in the tunnel, with a sec:ood stop being added at the Wtlkeson entrance in the fall. Work .is <lpCCied to be oomplcted and the bus stop reopened early in October. Green said that beginning May 3, Student Oub services will be relocated to the current Hubie's location in Fargo until the project is com pleted. Hours of operation and menu selection will mirror those currendy offered by the Siudent Q ub and Hubie's. Beginning in the fall, a cart offering p re-made sandwiches, snacks and beverages will be located in Will<eson Hall to help alleviate some potential congestion in Hubie's, he said. The Elli, the complex's convenience store. will dose on May 9. Snacks and a limited number of personal it<mS will be available at H ~bie's d uring t he summer. On Aug. 22, the Elli will reopen for a short time in a temporary l<x:ation, which has yet to be determined. The store will move to its permanent location about the same time that the bus stop is reopened. There will be1X>stings around the Ellicott complex throughout the co nst ruction period updating .members of the community on the progress of the project. Green said. Information also wiD be available on the campus dining and shops Web site at<~>. He pointed out that FSA's goals during the oonstruction proass are "to keep the project on schedule, while mini m izing the inconvenience to the students, faculty and staff who live and work in the Ellicott oomplcx.' The renovation project is an attempt to "respond to what students are aslting for." as wdl as address an evaluation of FSA's dining services conducted in t 998 by a research group affiliated with Marriott International Inc., he said. The evaluation indicated a need to change the caiJlpUS food-service d.tivery sys- tem and upgrade dining facilities. The project was designed by the Rochester firm of Pospula Associates. Work will be finanoed by bonds sold through the Amherst IndustrW ~opment Agency. The Student Oub renovation is the latest in a series of dining;servia:s projects that have resulted ito the rehabilitation of dining facilities in Goodyear, Governors, Richmo nd and Red Jacket since 1998. �februMY14.2Uil2M33.1a.1J llepoa'tes Message from the President ·To the ...werslty <DIIIIIUIAy, Ahr }5 ,an o( diolinpiohal tcrviao 10 UB. indudlns more tt.

FSEC offers consultant parking "wish list" Web-based survey to solicit input about parking conditions to be posted soon BY DONNA LONc;£N£CK£R Reporter Anistant Editor A consulranthired byU B to evaluate p~rki~g and tr11n spo rt at10n ass ues on ca mpu s was provided with a detailed "wish list" of ideas by members of the Faculty Senate Executive Com mittee at the group's Feb. 6 meeting. Joseph P.Sciulli,senioroperalions consulta nt for Chance Management Advi sors Inc. of Philade lphia (CMA ). met with the FSEC to up· date the body on its ongoing threephase study. begun last October. Sciulli described the process as an examination of existing conditions, including the number of available parking spaces a nd how they are utilized. as well as transportation operatio ns in general The results of the stud)' will allow the finn to make recommendations that will support the future needs and growth of the university, Sci ulli said. "From what we've seen so far, it's a goodsystcm," Sciulli said."UBi in a position to "be ahead of the power curve." when it moves into the planning stage in improving parking and transportation services, he added CMA is also about to embark on a key piece of the study, according to Sciulli-a Web-based survey designed to solicit o pinions about parking conditions and collect sptcific data about where and when people park. James Nadbrzuch, assista nt vice president for student affairs, said the survey should be posted online within th e nex t few weeks. The implementation date, as well as the site's URL. will be published in the Reporter. Sciulli heard a variety of suggestions and concerns about the parking situation from FSEC members, ranging from the fierce competition for parking spaces near Alumni Arena and the Center for the Artsespecially when both si tes are hosting events and students are attend ing C\'Cning classes-to a desire for the co nsultant to study traffic pat - terns and the"number of roads that lead to nOwhere" on campus. Senators echoed the frequentl y voiced concern around campus that guests and visitors often are frustrated by the absence of dear sign age ward system for people who park at 3 remote site and then take a shuttJe bus to the Spine. Sciulli said that most of the concerns, including the issut of whether or not freshmen sl)ould be directing them to the paid parking lots anli the lack of a dearly defined, allowed to bring cars to cam pus cen tral information center where so),a redri\'en by a need to balance they can obtain maps and other per· "practical and operational consid- tinent information.

Applications of the phenomenon co uld lead to such technological advances as sharper pictures on computer monitors; higher-quality, long-dismnce telephone lines; more stable optical fiber ner..urks. and the ability to visualize and destroy deep tumors with light. The team &Om the Institute for Lasers, Photonics and Biophotonics was the first to demonstnte in 1996 ·orga nic materials capable of effi ciently absorbing two photons of light at the sam e time and their ap- . plications,espcciallyin high-density dam storage. This latest observation demon- strates the remarkable three-photon simulmneous absorption efficiency of an organic dye,APSS ((4-[N-(2hydroxyethyi) -N-methyl) amirio pheny l [-4 '- ( 6 - hydrox yhexyl sulfonyl)stilbene) synthesized by the UB scientists to produe< stimulated emission, a property that creates la- ser light. The work aJso demOnstrates an important phenomenon, time-photon pumped frequency upconversion, in which fluorescent emissions are produced with higher energy than the laset's pumping photon, a process called upooflV!"Sion. "This is a breakthrough {or demonstrating that highlyefficien~ threephoton absorbing materials can be produced that can aa as a m<dium for UJlCOfl"=ion lasing," said Paras Prasad, executive din:ctor of the Institute for Lasers, Photonics an d Biophotonics and ro-author on the paper.

The research demonstrates for the first timethehighlyefficient,simullan<O!JS absorption of time photons to input), it also provides an efficient mechan ism useful for applications in optical power limiting, which help< pr<vent damage from power s~.and in stabilizing power fluctuations to reduce noise.

Knowledge of how these turbulent flows affect internal combustion could (mprove g=tly the efficiency and environmental impact of all kinds of engines. "In r<acting turbulent Oows. this will be the benchmark," said Madnia, lead author on the paper. Th~ simulations by the UB re· searchers rome the closest to mim· icking hydrocarbon combustion sinct' they demonstrate a defining feature of combustion: how the heat of reaction affects the exchange of L" nagy in a turbulent system. In C\'ery engine or furnace, comhthtlon Gt U,S(.~ the release of h ~;~t , \\'hldl rL·,ulh 111 :.n incrt:.t'>l' in in temal energy. At the same time, the turbulence in the engine is producing kinetic energy. "Between internal and turbulent . kinetic energy, there is a continual acbange." said Madnia "How these two fiel!is exchange energy with each other constitutes the basic physics of turbulmtreacting Oows.• Madnia cautioned that the Oows that he and colleagues have sirm,l· lated do not account for the incndibly complex chemistry of combustion, which involves hundreds of chemical reactions. ·Several decades from now, we still will not be able to simulate internal combustion," he noted. .. But with this rest>arch, we are pushing the limit of direct numeri· cal simulations for simulating tur· buJent combustion." Unlike the group's previous work with nonrcacting flows, where the' n::,ea r~hers could ~hCck" th dr rr.. ult:..tgainst thmL·nflaborahlf)'t.'X· periments, these simulations cannot be comparod with laboratory experiments because none exist. Aaxxding to Madoia, the goal o( the research is to gain a better understanding of the two-way interaction betwee!icbemist:ryand ~in order to deYelop m<>r< realistic models of the Ouid m<chanics and chemistry involved in combustion.

Description An account of the resource The UB <em>Reporter</em> began publication on January 22, 1970, a time of tumult at the University. It succeeded the newsletter, <em>Colleague</em>, and to this day, serves as the official source for "in house," internal news. The first issue included an editorial, "Why The Reporter?" explaining the rationale for the newspaper: <br /><blockquote> <p>The feeling was that the University lacks a sense of community—that communication is too helter-skelter—that too many groups feel alienated, apart. Somehow, it was felt, if these groups—faculty, student and staff—could come together on the commons and share their concerns and ideas, their activities, their aspirations and whatever else they have to offer, community and communications would result…But it will not produce instant community. Each of us will have to work toward that goal.</p> </blockquote> <br />The Reporter ceased print production in May 2009 when it became an online only publication; in Spring 2016 it became a daily publication.  The Reporter was re-named UB Now in Spring 2016.

Although many periodicals' contents are available in full-text online, they arr, in many cases, an alternate fonnat for materials that we have in print. Therefore, we have not seen a 'reduction in the number of requests for materials because they are available online. However, because it is possible to search more index databa~ more casiJy and faJter, and because it is easy to see the tables of contents ofUJI dividual journa!J in many elf the index databases, researchers are more aware of articles and papers that have been published. When they find references to information related to their research that is not in our libraries, they submit requests for interhbrary loan.

TMD syrilptoms indude pain or di.scomfortin or aroundtheezr,jaw joint, and/Ot"musclesofthejaw,face, temples and neck on one o r both sides. The pain may arise suddenly orprogres1.,..,. months to yean with intmnitlmt frequency and intmsity. Diagr>osinsthedi.sorder is fraught with problems. TMD usually in W>lves more than a single symptom, rarely has a single cause and frequentlyirrwllves multipk lioctoro, in· eluding behavioral and emotional responses. l..ad<ing a firm set of diagnostic tools, physicians and den· tistsoften depend ontheirindividual judgment to decide if a patient does or does not h:Jve the disorder. Now the School of Dental Medi· dne is collaborating with two other major universities on a joint $5 mil· lionprojecttoestablishvalidandreliable TMD criteria clinicians can use in their practices to diagnose and treat these disorden. At UB. the work will be based in the Center for the Study of Pain in the School of Dental Medicine, di· reeled by Richard Ohrbach, associ· ate professor of oral diagnostic sciences and UB 's principal investigator on the .!itud}'· The other two part- A ners are the University of Minnesola, the lead center on the study, and the University of Wa.ohington. "This ......,-ch study represents the most comprehensive examinationofdiagnostic methodsandoonupto ~ oondocted for any chronic pain di.sorder; Ohrbach said. "This is dW:, in part, to the signi6cance of TMD in the population and the ur- .sarilr related to the pain." (TMD disorders often are inoorrectlyrefm-ed to a5 "TMJ" because the pain often is centered in that jOint.) In an effort to establish unhoersal, de!initiYe standards forpinpointing TMO,study irowstigators will revaJi. date existing criteria and assess the validity o( polential new indicators ofTMD through blindeddinical a , aminations, mentiU-stlltus aSsessments, two rypeo of imapng sans. and fluid and tissue anolysis.

TMD is difficult to diagnll~ btcause there is no single mea.oure that provides objective independent evi· denceofthi.sdi.sorder,"Ohrbachsaid. "In this regard, it resembles the di · agnosis of depression. There are no reliable physical signs. That's what makes diagnosis so hard. For example, change in thr- temporoman dibular joint structure is not neces- greuion and treatment of these dioonlers. Initially, rwo examiners from each school will be certified for reliability at the University at Minnesota. Each center then will recruit study participants and enroll them in one of eight subgroups. based on the type o( pain they report. A total of 230 participants ·will be recruited at the UB center. Both examiners will assess all study participantsattheirsite;how.>-er,one examiner will not know which are . TMD patients and which are healthr controls. All subjects also will ·undergo panoramic screening, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI ) and computed tomography (Cf) scans.

These designs will build on the initial preliminary design conc.q>ts developed by the ronsultant-the local firm of Wendd EngineeriDg and the New York City-based HOK Planning Group, working with the univmiry-wide Master Landscape Plan AdvisoryCommittee---4nd incorporate input gathered during public work sessions hdd in spring 2000 on both campuses, said Michael V. Wright, senior architect in Facilities Planning and Design and project manager for the landscapingproject. Work on the project had been held up pending approval of the consultant's contract by SUNY central administ ration. Wright said, adding th at th e approval finally carne last fall. As part of Phase 3 of the project, the consultant will produce landscape designs of the Sherman parking lot area on the South Campus, making Coal Road-located off Bailey Avenue between Sherman Road and Winspear Avenue--the primary entrance and refming re· latcd spaces. Oesisns also will be completed of the courtyard between Abbou and Squire halls, also on the South Campus. including the area between Foster and Crosby halls. On the North Camp~ the ronsultant will focus on Foundets Plaza-the design theme rould be expanded down the.Promenade to the Student Unior>-<IS wdl as on the corridor between LockwoodUbrary and Qernens Hall. During this third phase of the greenery should be planted.

The lands<;ape project dovetails with the recently completed installation of new sigrtage on both campuses, he added Wright said the larger proj~cts within the overall landscaping plan will be rompleted in phases over five to I0 yean, with some of the Phase 3 work expected to be completed within one to five years. Although no budget for the work has been set yet, estimares will follow after the designs are completed, he said, noting that the work likely will be financed with a combination of capital money, private funds and class gifis. New pharmacy program offered By ELLEN GOLDBAUM Contributing Editor T HE nation's first master's dcgr{'(' program in phar· maccuti c.~ with a focus in ph.trmacumctrics. a n<"w fidd thJt f\tso phJrmacologi( Mud - with computational and stati~ ti · mcthocb of data analrsis. h.1s lxocn developed at the School of Pharmacy and Ph<:~rmaccutical Sciences. The field of pharnlacometrics invoh·c~ the anal)•sis and interpretation of data produced in preclinical .tnd clinical trials, much of which now is gem;rat~d through new compu tationally intensive tools, such as bioinformatics. This new program focus comes just in time to meet an explosion of demand in the ph3.rmaceutical industry,said William J. Jusko, professor, interim chair of the Department of Pharmaceutical Sciences and the program's founder. "Because of ~ngdemand, th is area of pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic pharmacometrics offers some of the highest entry-level salaries in the entire pharmaca~tical industry," said Jusko. Entry-level pharmaceutical scientists with a pharmacometrics background are being hired for as much as$SO,OOO per year and, because companies want to retain these people, pay raisl'S tend to be generous, be said. As the international leader in t\'10 areas on which pharm"comctrics is based-pharmacodynamics and pharmacokinetics (emeritus professor Gerhard Levy is considJ.q,d the 1£'4; ~.tl father of pharmacodynamics)-the Department of Pharmaceutical Sciences, Jusko explained, has dCvel oped a solid curriculum to form the basis of the new program focus. " Pharmacometrics lies at th e h~art of what drug companies do: collecting data from animals, normal volunteers and patients; qu.m· tifyi ng it. and then being able tCJdc· tcrmint' what that data mean for optimizing drug efficacy and mim· miring toxicity." "Phannacometrks .lies at the heart of what drug compBnles do .... " WILLIAM J. JUSI<O Accordi ng to Jusko, pharma cometrics. which requires proficiency in mathematical, computa· tional and statistical methods, as well as in ph~rmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic modeling, involves the interpretation of diverse types of data relating to the disposition and effects of a particular drug, often in large populations of patients on the order of hundreds or even thousands. He noted that while intensive and detailed studies of small groups of individual patients-groups as small as from 12 to2()-still provide the most complete picture of a drug'H"S.Sential properties, the much larger studies provide important information as well. "These population studies involve takingasmallamountofinformation from a large number of patien~ hundreds or even thousands-and summarizing the main factors that affect their exposures and respon!tCS to a drug," he said. "lltequ<"Stion they <lre designed to amv.·cr b.. what arc any special characteristics that show up wh<11 a particular drug is taken by th< broad patient populJ.tion for whom 11 is being designed?" Population studies arc designed to an~-....n that question based on just one or two measurements,say. of the blood conccmration of a drug. Individuals skilled in pharmacometrics know how to properly analyze and interpret that data to determine, for example, whether or not a particular drug is metabolized differently by one or another race, gender, age group (young, elderly) or those taking other drugs. The new master's-degree focus fuses the relevant courses at UB into an intensivC program for pharmacometrics. one that most students will be able to complete in just one year. Applicants should be interested in the computational aspects of phar· maceutical research and should have at least a bachelor's degree in pharmaceutics, pharmacy, pharmacology, biology. chemistry, biochemis· try, mathematics, statistics or an other suitable discipline. A program in advanced phannarometrics at the post -graduate level is _underd..'Vdopment at UB. Jusko said.

The confer-rna will be held from March 24-28, with experts from around the world in attendance to address the issue of cost-sharing in relation to rising tuition fees in both public and private universities. The 5130,000 grant supplements a grant of $416,000 awarded in January 2000 by the Ford Foundation to spearhead a three-year project directed by D. Bruce Johnstone, University Professor of Higher and Comparative Education and former chancellor of the State Uni\'er5ity of New York. "ln most African nations. a huge demand for higher education is greatly outpacing the capacity of the rax systems to continue providing this higher t-ducation fn.'C of charge. There simply isn't the money,.. said Johnstone, who directs the lntt-rnational COmparative Higher Education Finance and Acc.,ibility Project OCHEFAPlthrough theGSE'>Center forCom par.uive and GlobaJ Studies in Education. ICH EFAP's goal is to build an international dattboseon the costsofh1gher education, complete with models of tuition, student-aid and loan-policy packages and to document en><rging solutions to the access dilemma. Fuplans are to establish an international network that will review and update the datab."ISe, prepare· papers on the pertinent topics and provide fellowships that will attract visiting scholars and graduate students to UB.

Quattrin studies diabetes-bone link By DONNA LON«;EHECit~ Reporter Assistant Editor D IABETES and brittle bones may go hand in hand~ according to preliminary data obtained in an ongoing UB research study. Thus, eduating women who have type I diabetes about OS""'''Irosis must begin at a much earlier age, according to Teresa Quattrin, associate professor of pediatrics in the School of Medicine and Biomedical Sciences and director of the Diabetes Center at Children's Hospital. Quattrin is the lead investigator on a study that seeks to establish a possible link between women diagnosed with type I diabetes and the early onset of osteoporosis, a dis- ease that affects nearly 10 million American s, abo ut 8 million of whom are women, according to Dit1betes 1-0recast. \Vith funding from an American Diabetes As.sociatipn Clinical Research Award. Quattrin four years ago began a crosS-sectional, bonemineral density study-that since has expa nded into a much larger, longitudinal study-to try and pinpoint when and why bone loss begins occurring in young women. "We wanted to see how women ages 13 to 19weredoingand wanted to see women in their 20s and 30s, because one of the issues is that it (bone loss) seems to strike women before the classic symptoms of osteoporosis wou ld. Ordinarily, yo u think of women getting this during the menopause years.'' says Quattrin. The slud y may prove lo be groundbrcaking, she adds, because of the lack of definitive research en bam· density loss in yOung people wi th rype I diabetes. As part of the cross-sc..uional study, bone+densiry scans were obtained from two groups of females between theagesof13to 18and 19to30who had type I diabetes. Each group also had a matched-age control group. Thescamshawed that although type I study participants' bone d"!lsity was within normal limits, it was lower than thebonecknsityofthose in the control group. Quattrin hopes that the data obtained from both studies, along with a two-year follow-up, will give researchers the tools to develop preventa!M measures rela!M to the levels. This. she says, provides the conceptual Hnk between insulin and bone density. One thing· is certain: Young girls need to reach peak bone-mineral density quickJy, before maturity if possible. There is only about a twoyea r window of opportunity after the onset of menstruation in which most young women experience increases in bone density, sayS Qua_ttrin. "If you are 25 and have a low bonemineral den sity, it's not likely that you're going to increase it; she adds. Moreover, i there is power in knowing one's family ~ l)Jstory because bone0 mineral dcon ~ sity is "highly ....

"This kind of education should is true for people with lower insulin g & happen in a young woman's life,(in) the school and in the pediatrician's office because those are very critical years to fonn lifestyle habits that will help you preserve your bones down the road; says Quattrin. While the public at large is m.\jtll more educa!M about the impbrtance of bone strength, the focus remains on middle-aged and premenopausal women, she adds. "It's a furtny joke when people tell you 'I shrunk; I used to be 5' 4" and now I'm 5'3-:'but it's not ajolce," Quattrin says. pointing out ihat spinal measurements of middle-aged people show significant decreases in bone density that often go undetected until a problem occurs. such as a fracture from a fall. Quattrin generously praises her colleagues at Olildm!'s Hospital,and looks forward to expanding her research into other issues related to diabetes. Key resean:hers on the SttJdy include )<an ~- Wende. assistant professor of gynecology and obstetrics; Richard P. Donahue, professor of !;Ocial and preventative medicine, and )acek Dmocbowski, assistant professor of statistics, and thrir participation underscores what Quattrin calls "exciting (cross-disciplinary) collaboration " "Ultimately, my philosophy and my hope is that we may be able to continue our interdisciplinary re+ sclrch within clinical research; she says. " I am hoping that we also will get other roUeagues involved in the basic research to collaborate with us so that it (th<" work) will be acrossthe-board and looking at other systems and other pathologies as well. We don•t want to forget the basic science aspect of it. and I hope to have a larger team working at UB on all as- · peru related to bone- mineral density and diabetes in general; she added.

Description An account of the resource The UB <em>Reporter</em> began publication on January 22, 1970, a time of tumult at the University. It succeeded the newsletter, <em>Colleague</em>, and to this day, serves as the official source for "in house," internal news. The first issue included an editorial, "Why The Reporter?" explaining the rationale for the newspaper: <br /><blockquote> <p>The feeling was that the University lacks a sense of community—that communication is too helter-skelter—that too many groups feel alienated, apart. Somehow, it was felt, if these groups—faculty, student and staff—could come together on the commons and share their concerns and ideas, their activities, their aspirations and whatever else they have to offer, community and communications would result…But it will not produce instant community. Each of us will have to work toward that goal.</p> </blockquote> <br />The Reporter ceased print production in May 2009 when it became an online only publication; in Spring 2016 it became a daily publication.  The Reporter was re-named UB Now in Spring 2016.

"I think it would be fair, with aU due respect to the students, that they be given the option to be told that they don't necessarily have to take this course," Fourtner said of the 70 students enrolled in his class. He added that students should have the opportunity to enroll in a ~uired math class or a music class that will be required under the ne\v program in lieu of the class he is taoching. llemiceNoble,professorofmicrobiology who also teaches a "Great Discoveries" course, agreed with Fourtner, saying that the changes should be implemented as soon as possible.

The collaborative projects that have arisen as a result of th~ interac- tions have been highl y successful in developing new overlapping areas of research and attracting funding for th ese projects. This yea r, our funding for on-si te mem- bers alone will be more than 56 million and has shown a steady increase. As part of that mission, we also co-sponsor four different meetings in areas of interest to our members, incl uding microbial pathogenesis, immunology, DNA replication and RNA .

Improving access to ,health care for needy State grants to fund trainingfor studpzts in clinics for refugt:eS, underserved children BY LOIS BAIWI Contributing Editor T H E universi ty has re ceived two grants totaling nea rly $629,000 from New York State to provide culturally appropriate training for its med ical and dental students and residents through;;cbool- and community-pased clinics. One grant supports a progtam for medical students and residents who will provid e care to im migrant groups; the other funds a project involving medical and dental stud ents working with underserved schoolchildren. The goal of the grants is to improve access to health care for these groups while sharpening students' clinical skills and cultural competency. UB is the only university among nine awardces to receive two grants. Three departments in the School of Medicine and Biomedical Sciences. along with the School o(Dental Medicine, are developing tho programs. The larger of the two grants, funded for $393,933, will suppon the Refugee Cultural Competency Training Program sponsored by the medical school's Department o f Family Medicine. Kimberl y Griswold, assistant professor of fum ily medicine, will direct the project. The Northwest Buffalo Community Health Care Center and Jericho Road Family Practice on Buffalo's Wesl Side, opera led by Myron Glick, will be joint sponsors. The lnterna- tional Institute of Buffalo and Journey's End R<settlement Services also will be involved. . ..Our strategy is to offer a oonctn· trated cultural-immersion experience to students and residents at evening dinical sessions that serve only refugee patients," said Griswold. "The students will be working with peoplofrom Rwanda, Sudan, Somalia, Ethiopia, Congo, Kosovo, Bosnia and Cuba." Tho program builds on a pilot project developed over the past two years by Griswold, UB medical Students and volunb:erS in which medical students conducted health sc reening of refugees during monthly "health nights" at one of the participating clinics. The current project formally inrefug~ physician, physicia n's assistant, nurse, translato.-. and social worke.-..

Based on our work to dare. integrating medical students and staffinto the care of culturally diverse populations has enriched both provider.; and recipi<:ntsofcare."G~said. "We hope to build on the enthusiasm and professionalism of students as we work together to improve cultural competency and continue to learn from the patients themselves." The second project- "School Based Health Centers: Training care into the Med0Ca1Studentsan4~dentsina medical-school curriculum as an Community Setting"-is a collaOOration involving the medical sQ>ool's departments of Po:diatrics and Psychiatry and the dental schooL Dennis Nadler, the medical ICbool's associate dean for academic and curricular affair-s, will be primary investigator and Richard Sarkin, associate pmfessorofdinical pediatrics, will be project director. Th<; project is funded at $235,285 for three years "The idea is to use school health sites to train medical students and residen ts in the continuityofhealth corporates option for interested students, who can use the experiena as part of thdr existing clinical-practice training and ~ve academic credit or as an extracurricular activity and receive ..extra" credi l Clinics will take place evenings from 5- 10 p.m. and will begin with an hour-long orientation presented by immigrant resettlement staff, a medical anthropologist, physician and social worker.Students then will spend 3 1/2 hour.; doing initial health evaluations with refugees, followed by a debriefing focus session.

Faculty comment on Enron debacle SOM profS say case will produce mistrust in employers, rethinking ofboards' role BY JOHN DELLA CONTRADA Reporter Contributor N the wake of th~ En ron debacle, many Americans will begin to q·ucstion how much they trust their employers, sars a School of Management fac ulty member who researches the development and consequences of trust in the workpl ace. " I expect that a number of people will re-evaluate their rela tionship with their company and co nsider whether the trust th ey placed in their leaders in the past still is warranted," says Donald Ferrin, associate professor of or· ganization and human resources. "It's the people who have even the smallest suspicions about their own Company who will be affected most b}' the Enron situation," he adds. Ferrin notes th ert" are several factors that con tribute to the breakdown of trust at co mp3nics. The most damaging factor, he sars. is the one perpetrated by Enron's leaders hip: failing to meet the n pecta.tions of em ployees. "Unmct expcctJtiun!> lea t.J to a breach in the pS)'Chological con· tract be tween employe~ and ~m ­ ployer, which is definl·d as 'what I the comp.1ny owf.·s U), Jnd what \W owe th~ com pan) .'" h l· -.ay ....

But, he adds, the most under.-.ported result of employee mistrust could be the one that's most damaging 10 a company: a decline in what Ferrin caiJs ..organizational citizen behavior." .. These are the duties that we perform on the job that fall out · side of our formal job description ," he explains. " If you think about it, much of Ferrin's research points to several ad ions and practices that promote emploree trust in a company and its leadership. The most inHuerltial is " transformational leadership," where leaders gain trust by showing concern a~d respect for emplop!e:.. Other key tru..o;; t-building factors incl ude how much support a leader has. or is perceived to ha\·e, within an orgamz.ation and '"''hcther employees f<elthey are treated fairly by compan)' policy and in their pcr'>OnaJ <kaltng . . with their cmplo)'t'r. Thl· fall of En ron also demon . . tratc:. that an inherl'nt managc111l~n t pmhh:m prcviou:.ly thought to occur only among a company's top managers aJso occurs within a company's board of directors, according to two oth<r SOM faculty members specializing in strategic management. In En ron's case, the oxistence of the .. agency problem" within its board of directors is partly to blame for the company's mismanagement and apparent unethical behavior, say John Stephan and Harold Star, assistant professors of management science and systems, who are researching the role of boards and CEOs in setting corporate strategy. "The agency probl<m states that because top managers are typically not owners of a company, they can' t be trusted to act in the best interest of those who do own the company-the shareholders," says Stephan. "Boards of directors were seen as a solution to the agency proOiem because they have a legal responsibility to protect and serve the shareholders. "But wh;n the Enron case illustrates is that the agency problem also exists within a company's board of directors," he adds ... Boards, too, have incentives 116fto act in the best interest of shareholders." Sl'ephan and Star maintain that the ag<ncy ~roblcm at En ron and other companies ofte.n is created because the. CEO also serves as chairman of tht company's board o'r directors. "Wittn th< chairman is the CEO, then thenatu~ofinformation that go<s to the board is oft<n distorted," says Star. '"Making matters worse, the CEO typically stacks the board with cronies and supporters. "As a result, the Oversight role of the board is very easily co-opted into a rubber stamp rol<." h< adds. '"That was the c;as.c. at En ron." The researchers predict the Enron case will prompt a lot of rethinking about the role of the board of directors and whether it's better or worR for a board to own shares of a company. "The g<neral feeling has been that board members should own shares if they are to rcpfesent the sha/eholders," says Stephan. "But what we' re learning from En ron is that when board members own shares, there's a disincentive to ask the really to~:Jgh questions for fear that those questions will driH• down the stock prices."

It may be hard to believe, but 2002 marks the 25th anniversary of the Blizzard of'77. The 1976-77 winter had the greatest snowfall for one season with 199.4", burying the old rocord of 126.4" in 1909-10. It was also a year of brutally cold temperatures, with the period of Dec. 26, 1976, through February 1977 marked by 45 consecutive days of below-freezing temperatures. The Blizzard of '77 began on )an. 28. Wind gusts of up to 69 mph were r<eord<d in Buffalo (75 mph in Niagara Falls). Rapidly changing temperatures were reponed throughout the 2SU', beginning when the temperature rose from five degrees at midnight to26degroesby I I a.m. As wind gusts rose from 29 to 49 mph and visibility became zero, the tempera tor< plumJ'I1<l<d from 26 degroes to zero in just over four hours, and wind-chill fuctors reached bone-chilling ranges of 50 to 60 degrees below zero. Interestingly, snow accumulations in the Buffalo area were only around 12 inches (much thought tohavecomefrom existingsoow lying on the frou:n surface'of Lake Erie), though snow drifts from the wind buri<d many houses.

Trauma memories increase drug cravings UB research findings highlight importance of treating PTSD, abuse.concurrently BY LOIS BAKER Contributing Editor .OST-traumaticst ressdisordcr (PTSD ) increases P craving in drug abusers diagnosed with both con· ditions,confirming the need to trea t the conditions simultaneously, the first laboratory st udy of the two dis· orders has shown. Research drawing that conclusion, fed by Scott F. Coffey, assistant professor of psychiatry in the School of Medicine and Biomedical Sci· ences. appears in the currrnt issue of Drug and Alcohol Depentkna. "We know from expericna: that drug abusers with PTSD do poorly in treatment," Coffey said, .. but many providers of substancr-abuse treatment are reluctant to treat YI'SD bccaUSt it's such an emotionally charged condition. Common practia: is to treat the drug abuse and then the PTSD. "But if the PTSD symptoms are in part driving the subst~ abuse, asking a patient to get off drugs before treating th e PTSD is kind of unfair,"' he said. "We don't do that with drug abusers with depression or schizophrenia; we treat the two disorders concurrently. Hopefully, this Sludy will encourage treatment providers to address drug abuSt· and PTSD at the samt· time." It's estimated that as many as 40 percent of substance abusers suffer their neutral imagery cue. In addition, interviewers dis - from PTSD, he said. Coffey, a specialist in drug abuse and PTSD, conducted the research with colleagues at the Medical Uni· versity or South Carolina. The investigators used a laboratory- based approach called ..cue reactivity," in which su_bjects are exposed to stimuli designed to remind them of a particular event or situation in' order to monitor their responses. The study involv<d 30 cocainedependent and 45 aloohol-depen· dent participants, all of whom also suffered from PTSD resulting from a physical or sexual attack. All par· ticipants wert in treatment for their substance dependence, and were drug-free at the time of the study, but reported wing their drug of choia: within the past '60 days. During the initial interview, re· searchers asUd participants to describe their worst trauma in full detail. 'with the participants' permis· sion, this infonnation was used in · an audiotaptd narrative that would ~rve as the trauma-imagery cue during the laboratory session. Each participant also rated five cussed participants' drug of choitt, "!'d used the information to develOp individualized drvg cues: for the cocaine abusers, a crack pipe and bag of simulated crack oocaine; for the alcohol abusers, a glass of the pre· ferred alcoholic beverage. along with the bonk itself. Wood chips served as the neutral "drug" cue for all par· ticipants. Each laboratory session began with a urine drug screen and questionnaire on which participants re· ported their current te.d of craving. Rrtiring to a sound-proof booth, subjects underwmt four presenta· tions of imagery and drug cues: trawnaimageryfoUowedbyadrug cue, neutral imagery £oUow.d by a drug cue,nauma imagery foUowed by a neutral rue and neutral imag· ery followed by a neutral cue. •· Participants listened to the imagery """rdings through earphones with eyes dosed and ...,.. asUd to continue to imagine the scene and experien<:c the emotions as vividly as possible.

Participantsratedtheiraavingand otber responses on a romputerized questionnaire immediately following each imagery-drug presentation. standard neutral audio narratives for pleasantness and emotional arousal. The script that participanis rated closest to neutral was used as R<sults showed, not unexpectedly, that craving increased significantly when participants we.re presented with trauma imagery and when par· ricipants weu presented with cues related to their substancr of choice. "From our research with trauma victims, we know that intrusive trawna memories are very upoctting to patients, and now ""' ba.. shown that these trauma memory-induad negativeemotionsin=aseaavingin suhstanceabuomwith PTSD,"Coffey said.

But we found that people with alcohol <lependence reported much higher craving than oocaine abusers when thinlcing about their trauma.• Coffey said this finding makes sense in hindsight. "PTSD iS an aoxi· :ty disorder.

For more information see, http://dublincore.org/documents/dces/. Description An account of the resource The UB <em>Reporter</em> began publication on January 22, 1970, a time of tumult at the University. It succeeded the newsletter, <em>Colleague</em>, and to this day, serves as the official source for "in house," internal news. The first issue included an editorial, "Why The Reporter?" explaining the rationale for the newspaper: <br /><blockquote> <p>The feeling was that the University lacks a sense of community—that communication is too helter-skelter—that too many groups feel alienated, apart. Somehow, it was felt, if these groups—faculty, student and staff—could come together on the commons and share their concerns and ideas, their activities, their aspirations and whatever else they have to offer, community and communications would result…But it will not produce instant community. Each of us will have to work toward that goal.</p> </blockquote> <br />The Reporter ceased print production in May 2009 when it became an online only publication; in Spring 2016 it became a daily publication.  The Reporter was re-named UB Now in Spring 2016.

The partnership between UB and the town tod~ope-co~and e-government software solutions came about because the town .. needs io 11utomate things more quickly because of (its) sheer size, and manual systems just don't cut it," said Jerry Galkiewicz.directorofromputer services for the town. While the town's Web site nowotrm'an online tax-as· sessment challenge and provides indepth information about its serVices and programs. implementing more sophisticated e-commerce applica· tions to enhance the way the town does business would be a huge step. Building on earlier e-commerce applications designed for the town by UB MBA students unties the tu · telage of H.R. Rao, professor of management science and systems, Sviatoslav Braynov, assistant professor of computer science and engineering, challenged his CSE stu· dents last semester to develop "real, working prototypes" for online set· vices relevant to the toWn's needs. Student teams enrolled in the "ECommerce Technology" course crea ted systems for procurement of town supplies, recreation reservation and dog licensing, all linked to and based on the town's Web site. Braynov believes Amherst would be the first community in Western New York and one of the few in the country to offtt these kinds of g~v­ crnment se:rvices online. Galkiewicz noted that increasing the functionality and number of online servia:s provided on its Web site is part of the town's overall comprehensive plan. By using theC:SEstu· dents as ronsultants, the town saves expensive consulting fees while giving studentsachancetotranslateabstraa theory and dassroomlectureinto real..ood,hands-on job skills. he said. The partnership, he added, moves the students out of the "ivory tower" and "down .;n the ground , scratching around to SQM, real problons, working with real systems and real data." The students' work on the. Webbased pmcumnent system maypr<>Y< to be the most important of all the .. commerce projects, Galkiewicz pointed out It would """'both time and money by allowing the town to partner with other municipalities to purchase goods in bulk-with ven· dais bidding on ron tracts during on· line auctions He added that this type of servict also would be groundbreaking-he said be wasn't awareofanyothormunicipalitiesthat areacquiringgoodsoverthe!nternet Galkiewicz noted that the governmental bidding process can take weeks or.,;.., months When done the traditional way-through snail mail and waiting for approval of bids by the town board. Placing the proc<SS onlinecancutthattimedramatically and reduce dup~cation of services. "It has tht potential to change the way the town does business,.. Braynov said, in part because each online auction is limited to one hour. "ltnotonlyavoidsduplicationofservices, but creat<s com~ marl<ets because several vendors can go there (online) and take part in therompetitive P"""" ofbidding-making the end price lower." he said. Most lOOt! government~ currently purchase goodsasseparateentities,whichprevents thein from taking advantage of savings through bulk purchasing. Perhaps the most unique~ oftheon-lineauctionproc<SSistbat the bidding is anonymous, giving smaller vendors an eqUal opportu· nity to rompete for a ron tract.

The dotcom revolution was more of a culture shock-<ansumers are still coming out of l)lerchant shop· ping, where everything has to be touched and seen," he said. That kind of awareness-keeping the user in mind-motivated the students to create a simple, functiona! site, one that can easily be managed and updated by the town. The biggest hurdle Galkiewicz sees in implementing the students' prototypes is integrating their software programs with the software and internal Systems the town a]. ready bas in place---<;ys~.,-ns that continuously update the town's database and rerords. Then there are the financial ronsiderations; the town doesn't have the resowus to replicate the students' hardware and software environ ments,and Galkiewiczsp! there's no state money to fund e-cornmerce. The state has created a task force-of which Galkiewicz is a member-"to determine bow best todevdopthiscapahilityforall!evel of governments,• he said. In the meatime, Braynov has gi>en the toWn online acass to the UB projects ond Galkiewiczsaid he would continue working with the university to learn what it takes to "do e-commerct." �January Z4. 2002/Vol33.1n.14 Rep aries Holm to oversee bio-tech Medical school administratoris riamed a Slmior vice provost By SUf WUITCHUI .

The !<SOlution sought to stem the tide offacultyatotherSUNYinstitutions, particularly Fredonia, who have endor>ed a tuition ina.ase for the com· ingacademicyear,aswdlasadoption· ofa funding policy. While FSF.Cmemben vehemently opposed faculty endorsing a tuition increase, descnbing it as"unwise"and"self-serving,"they agreed that any SUNY funding·plan must address tuition conams. Senators speaking at the Dec. II meeting geneFally supported th e impetus behind the rrsolution. While President William R. Greiner encou..,ged them "to do as they felt b<st; he advised that it might b< better to take up the issue after the legislature had approved the state budget. "It best serves us to leave it to the chanceUor and the government to ..lork through this issue. Perhaps in thespringsernesteritmightb<good for the faculty to address the issue," Greiner said, adding that tuition · concerns need to b< treated as morr of along-term policy issue. Samud Schack, chair of the Department ofMathematia,said the situation provides •an .exceUent opportunity for the UB senate not to speak about something." "Calling for a rational funding policy is liJce calling for the end of pcweny. Everyone believes in it-<>f course you should have a rational funding policy; Schack said "Why not just b< silent on the ~e · silence will speak volumes in the wake of othet institutions saying things that arr foolish." John Meacham, professor and chair of the Department ofl's)dlol· ogy, said he would support creating a funding plan that "does what's right for the students and families of New York State and looks after the long-term economic and busi· ness prospects" of the state. Meacham noted that the average annual family income in the state is about $3!,000, while higher-educalion costs run about $10,000.12,009 ayear-makirigitextmndydifficult for~ families to send children to colleg< without additional help. He also pointed out that in the past decade, the state has increased its support of higher education by onlyaboutl·l.Spen:mL "New York State has striously underfunded higher education for the last 10 years.

If we can't do. the right thing for educating the nat genera· lion of people who will b< the citi· UO>-Ihe entrrpreneurs, the busi· n~ leaders-<>{ this state, we arr going to b< one of the underdeveloped stat<s," Meacham said. In Otbrr business, the senate unanimously appr<>Yed-with little oomrnen~ the long-awaited class absence policy. A YO!f!on the policy had been rrpeatedly hdd up sinoo last May because of the lad of a quorum and what one senator referred to as "mind-boggling tedium," or ..;hat others might refer to as "a heated de· bate over particulan."

Description An account of the resource The UB <em>Reporter</em> began publication on January 22, 1970, a time of tumult at the University. It succeeded the newsletter, <em>Colleague</em>, and to this day, serves as the official source for "in house," internal news. The first issue included an editorial, "Why The Reporter?" explaining the rationale for the newspaper: <br /><blockquote> <p>The feeling was that the University lacks a sense of community—that communication is too helter-skelter—that too many groups feel alienated, apart. Somehow, it was felt, if these groups—faculty, student and staff—could come together on the commons and share their concerns and ideas, their activities, their aspirations and whatever else they have to offer, community and communications would result…But it will not produce instant community. Each of us will have to work toward that goal.</p> </blockquote> <br />The Reporter ceased print production in May 2009 when it became an online only publication; in Spring 2016 it became a daily publication.  The Reporter was re-named UB Now in Spring 2016.

Planning End-of-life decisions examined By LOIS llAII.Ell Contributing Editor W HY are so many people willing to relegate important medical decisions to strangers? That is the question a US nurseamhropologist is attempti ng to answer in a study on medical advance directives funded by the ational Institute of Nursing Research. In th< new S156,000, IS· month study,Mary;\nn Jezewski, associate professor of nursing and principal investigator on the gmnt, aims to find out why 80 percent of the U.S. population has not signed an ad· vance directi ve, a document that darifies a patient's wishes concern· ing end-of-life care if they become uhable to speak for themselves. An advance directive simply can name another person, a proxy. who is authorized to make such deci· sions. Or it can take the form of a "living will," which might include a do-not-·resusdtate order or prohibit using unusual measures 10 sustain life if there is no hope of recovery. "We've had IOyearsoffederalleg· islation and 13 years of state legislation in New York giving people the right to self-determination of care," Jezewski said. "The intent of the fed · era I Patient Self-Determination Act o( 1990 was to make sure that all patient ~ knt'w tlk' h.aJ tht.• nght w designate someone to makt deci· sions for them if they couldn't. So far, only 20 percent of the population has done so. .. Many people assume family memlxrs have a right to decide a loved one's treatment," she said. "What they may not know is" that without an advance directive naming a health-care proxy, doctors in New York Stale don't have to follow the fumily's wishes." Information gathered since the work sraned in September shows that often people don't understand what a proxy is, don't know the dif· ference between an estate will and a living will, and don't realize they don't need a lawyer to draw up the latter. Most said that no one, including their physician, had talked to them about an advance directive, Jezewski said. .. This situation is partly a result of our attitudes about death and dying. People don't like to talk about it, and nurses, physicians and health· care workers generally are no more comfortable than anyone else." Health-are professionals who are willing to broach thesubjt!ct, however, may not have the right information, Jezewski found She conducted sur· '"'}'with both oncology and erner· gency nurses in C:~lifomia, Texas, lllinoisand New York to determine their knowledge. attitudes and experience with advan ct' directives. Rc:sults showed participants rata! themselves highly experienced and a>nfident with the subj<ct. but scored only 60 per· cent on average on a test of their knowled!l" of advance directives. Surveys conducted by others with physicians showed similar findings, Jezewski said -Most studies on the use of advance directives to date have been conducted with critically or terminally iU patients, or elderly persons in nursing homes. Jezewski is concentrating instead on people who ha~ chronic illnesses that put them at risk of need· ing an a<lvan<rdirective in the future, but currently are relatively stable and functioning normally. The study will involve 80- 100 par· ticipants from Western New York who will be recruited through sup· port groups for chronic illness, such as diabetes, multiple sclerosis, can· cer and heart disease. Participants will be interviewed personally or take pan in focus groups. Jezewski and Mary Ann Meeker, a doctoral student and research as sistant in the School of Nursing, will roUect and analyredataon attitudes, opinions and needs of people with chronic illnesses related to advance directives to determine how to help them better understand the process. Their long-tcm1 goal is to design a way to provide that information to other..

Martin House to the Martin House Ratoration Corp., ending the university's 33-year stew· ardship of Frank Uoyd Wright's prairie-styk masterpiece. The Jewett Parkway landmark will remain under the auspica of the restoration corporation until the $23 million restoration of the house is complded.. "To put it simply, without Bill Greiner's vision and the univenity's stewardship of the Martin House, the Martin House restoration . project might never have become reality," said Robert J. Kresse, chair/ man of the board of the Martin House Ratoration Corp., a non· profit group overseeing the project. UB acquired the Martin House in 1967 for use as the otlicial resi· dence of !hi university president. Later, the house was used at various • 1irJ>es for a variety of university-relata! purpo<eS. including as the alumni offioe, university archives and a Canadian-American Studies Center. The university agreed in 1990 to turn over the deed to the house to the restoration corporation when the final environmental review process was completed to facilitate restoration efforts. Once restoration is a>mplete, ~corporation will transfer the title to the New York State Office of Parks, R<crcation and Historic Preserva· lion. The house ·will be designata! a New York State Historic Site, and will be operated by the corp<)ration. Tbe UB Fouodation also has agreed to turn over various Martin House artifacts to the rorporation. The corporation is on track to finish the Martin House restoration in about three years and is moving ahead with plans to restore Wright's adjacent George Barton House and Ganlener's Cottage, as weU as res· urrect three strurol'res long missing from the complex-the pergola, conservatory and carriage house. A visitor cmter also will be built. The corporation has raised $19 million of the project's cost. ESI offers research funding ID Tbe Environment II Society Institute invites proposals for projects to be funded by its Environmental Management A1ternatives Program·(EMAP) and its Environmental Science Interdisciplinary Re- search Program (ESIRP). The EMAP provides seed funding for interdisciplinary research and analysis on environmental problems. relevant to the regional community and sha res that work with groups and organizations ca· pable of transl~ting it into policy. The ESIRP provides seed fundinlf for interdisciplinary research and analysis in environmental science relevant to the regional, national and global environmental research and education priorities. Environmental science focuses on the components of the environment-air, water, soil and food. Research in the· natural and social sciences that has relevance to, and overlaps with, environmental science would be eligible, including ecology, environmental chemistry, engineering, psychology, an thropology, environmental toxicology ~nd environmental health. AU UB faculty members are eligible to conduct EMAP projects; fac· uhy members conducting research in environmental science are eligible to apply for ESIRP funds. Applicants for both programs should become faculty affiliates of the institute if they have not already done so. Interdisciplinary teams are strongly encouraged to apply.

Slowing cancer-cell growth Plant-based fats shown to slow prostate cancer growth in mice By LOIS IIAKEII Contribut ing Editor ATS derived from plants appear to inhibit th e growth and migration of one type of prostate cancer cell and to slow the growth of prostate tumors in laboratory mice, nu trition resc-.trcher1at UB have found. onvcrscly, those fed a di et supplemented with cholesterol had larger tumors and twice the amount of metastasis in lung and lymph nodes than th ose receiving the plant -fat diet, results showed. This is the first repon of the effect of plam-dtrived fats on human prostate-cancer cell growth and metasta· sis in animals. Results of the study appear in the December issue of European journal ofCAncer Prevemion. The study was conducted by researchers led by Atif B. Awad, associate professor of nutri tion in the Department of Physical Therapy, Exercise and "Nutrition Sciences in the School of Health Related Profmions and director of UB's nutrition program. The rt:Searchers report that prostate-cancer tumors were 40 percent smaller in animals fed a diet en hanced with phytosterols than in ani mals fed a diet enhanced with cholesterol. Phytosterols is the genera] name for plant-based fats. which arc found primarily in unfiltered vegetable oils likt virgin olive, peanut and canota. In· cultures of prostate-cancer cells, a specific plant fat called 8-sitosterol inhibited the growth of can· cer cells by 70 percent compared to controls, results showed. Phytosterols also inhibited the ability of cance r cells to migrate and bind to mrmbrant proteins of normal cells. "Thest studies demonstrated for the first time that phytochemicals that exist naturally in our diet can protect against prosta e cancer by F inhibiting the growth of the human tumor and its spread in the host's tissues, both in ani mals and the laboratory," Awad said The research is aimed at understanding why prostate cancer is the most common male cancer in Westem societies, but is significantly less common in Asia. One of the primary differene<sbctwecntherulturesisdict. Western die1S are high in cholesterol, but low in phytosterols, while.the opposite is true of the typical Asian diet. Awad and colleagues have been studying the significance of this dietetic difference and the rdationship to breast and prostate cancer for several years. In previous pioneering work on human prostate-cancer cells (type LNCaP) they found tfiat B-sitosterol, a fat abundant in vegetarian diets. inhibited tumor growth and reduced the 1...,1 of PSA rdeased They also ha.., shown that plantbased fats appear to cut the risk of prOstate cancer by reducing the levels . of both testosterone and certain enzymes that mebbolize testosterone into ~ore a~ fonns, and that BsitDsterol stimulated cell death in both LNCaP prostate cancer and one type ofbreast-<:anccrcdls in the laboratory. Feeding phytosterols lO mice injected with breast -cancer cells reduced tumor growth and metastasis, but until now no information was available on the effect or phytosterols on human prostate cancer. Phytosterolsare used widely in Eu. rope to treat enlarged prostate, Awad said. and are known to lower the risk of cardiovascular disease by in terfering with cholesterol absorption. To determine the effect of cholesterol and phytosterols on human prostate-cancer ceUs, Awad and colleagues sim ulated Wes1ern and Asian die1S by feedi ng one group of mice a mix of phytostrrols and an other group cholesterol with their normal food. After a two-week adaptation pe· rind, they introduced PC-3 human pros tat e-ca n ~ir cells into both groups and maintained the mk.c oO their respective die1S for eight more weeks. · CollCUfTOltly, lh<y conducted cellrulture studies in which PC-3 cells were ""JlJ5"d to three different types of dietary fat: 8-sitosterol and campestero~th phytosterolsand cholesterol A control-cell rulture contained tumorcdls with no supplementation. Cdls were grown for three days. then counted and tested for in· vasiveness, adhesiveness to cell men1· br:ane proteins and ability to migrate. Eight weeks after inoculation, tumors in phytosterol-fed mice were 40-43 percent smaller than tumors in cholesterol-fed mice, researchers found In addition, phytosterol-fed mice showed half the rate of PC-3 ceU metastasis to other organs. In the cell-culture experiments, the number of cancer ce:Us in the cholesterol-supplemented medium increaSed by 18 percent ov<r three days, while tumor cells decreased by 70 percent and 14 percent in B-si· tosterol and carnpesterol-supplemcnted media, respectively, compared to the control. Phytosterol-treated PC-3 tumor ceUs were 78 perce-nt less invasive than controls, compared to a 43 percent increase in invasiveness for cholesterol -expo~ c<lls. Cholesterol also increased cell migration by 67 perc~nt , while B-sitosterol and campesterol decreased migration by 93 percent and 60 percent, respectively, compared to controls. Both phytosterols reduced tu· mor-cell adhesion to the cell-membrane protein larninin, and B-sito· sterol reduced adhesion to the protein fibronectin. Cholesterol increased PC· 3 binding to one type of collagen, the primary protein of all connective tissue. Leonids, comets and·stars---- Ill oh my!

For more information see, http://dublincore.org/documents/dces/. Description An account of the resource The UB <em>Reporter</em> began publication on January 22, 1970, a time of tumult at the University. It succeeded the newsletter, <em>Colleague</em>, and to this day, serves as the official source for "in house," internal news. The first issue included an editorial, "Why The Reporter?" explaining the rationale for the newspaper: <br /><blockquote> <p>The feeling was that the University lacks a sense of community—that communication is too helter-skelter—that too many groups feel alienated, apart. Somehow, it was felt, if these groups—faculty, student and staff—could come together on the commons and share their concerns and ideas, their activities, their aspirations and whatever else they have to offer, community and communications would result…But it will not produce instant community. Each of us will have to work toward that goal.</p> </blockquote> <br />The Reporter ceased print production in May 2009 when it became an online only publication; in Spring 2016 it became a daily publication.  The Reporter was re-named UB Now in Spring 2016.

Bequest pledge to provide scholarships to study aging Bem•rd •nd Sh•ron Morton, longtime supporters of UB, have made a SIOO,OOO bequest pledge to the School of Social Work for scholarships to help graduate students who want to specialize in the field of aging and gerontology.

The Morton Family Endowment will provide sclio!Mships to students engaged in graduate studies in the School of Social Work, with preferen"' given to those who live in Western New York, and who have "demonstrated the academic capacity to oomplete the curriculum." Lawrence"Shulman, dean of the School of Social Work. praised the Mortons, noting: "'We are indebted to their generosity and vision in contributing to the field of aging and gerontology. Their gift is immeasurable, providing studenu an opportunity to further their education, while also helping UB expand these areas of study." The Mortons, who are both retired and living in Florida, remain active by volunteering for several charitable organizations, and pursuing their hobby, traveling. which ha5 taken them to every continent in the world during the past 45 years.. Their gift is part of US's $250 million campaign. one of the largest ever conducted by a public uni~ifY. in New York and New England. Although it's the fifth major fund-raising campaign conducted by UB, it"s the first nationaVintemational and university.-wide campaign, and the first to be aJumni-driven, with campaign voluntetr leaders from all over the country.

Description An account of the resource The UB <em>Reporter</em> began publication on January 22, 1970, a time of tumult at the University. It succeeded the newsletter, <em>Colleague</em>, and to this day, serves as the official source for "in house," internal news. The first issue included an editorial, "Why The Reporter?" explaining the rationale for the newspaper: <br /><blockquote> <p>The feeling was that the University lacks a sense of community—that communication is too helter-skelter—that too many groups feel alienated, apart. Somehow, it was felt, if these groups—faculty, student and staff—could come together on the commons and share their concerns and ideas, their activities, their aspirations and whatever else they have to offer, community and communications would result…But it will not produce instant community. Each of us will have to work toward that goal.</p> </blockquote> <br />The Reporter ceased print production in May 2009 when it became an online only publication; in Spring 2016 it became a daily publication.  The Reporter was re-named UB Now in Spring 2016.

The ince.grated, automated fusion and decision· l)laking software would be embedded in the urban emergency-management and crisis-management systmis. The work is funded by a five-year, $2.5 million grant awarded earlier this year by the Air Fortt Office of Scientific R<search to the Calspan· UB R<search Center (CUBRC}.

Lack of quorum delays absen~ policy again F.aculty Senate considers proposal describing responsibi#ties offaculty and students By DONNA ~O~CENECI<EJI Reporter Assistant Editor A LTHOUGH approval of a proposed class absence policy was prevented by .the absence of a quo· rum, the Faculty Senate at its Nov. 6 meeting, agreed, with some minor tweaking and discussion over semantics, to the spirit or essence expressed in the policy. Extensively revised from what had . been earlier referred to as an ..overl}' prescriptive" and "overly complex" document, the current one-page proposal conciSely describes the responsibilities of both instructors and students in instances where juUifiablc absences occur. Barring any future amendments, passage is ex-pected at the senate's meeting on Dec. 1 I. While the burden of proof still remains on studen ts t.o provide documented, "justifiable" excuses for missing required coursework, one possible aim of the policy is to prevent faculty from rescheduling exam days to times not specified in thf." syllabus, such as weekends--or creating a burden so onerous that at - tempts by students to fulfill missed course requirements are met with insurmountable roadblocks. The senate's Grading Committee noted in a one--page statement.....that "faculty an: on occasion absent from class fur good reason (including personal~es),unabi<IOarrange a substitute, not penalized, and yet request or require additional effort from their students to rompensale for the lost instructional activity. Students deserve parallel consideration."' In addition, however, the grading oommittec noted that the policy "lc; not a license to neglect course a~ · tics," and "does riot excuse students who miss class because they forgot, slrep through exams because they studied all night, or do not get 10 laboratories because they were mesmerized by the weather channel Unjustified absences merit neither rem({iy nor defense; none is here provided., TI1cre is enough latitude in the provisions of the proposed policy 10 allow fucultythe freedom to determine what constitutes adequate make-up of n.'quired coursework. member.; of the Grading Conuninee told senators. "Great care was taken in construct· ing th_is sta tement," said Judith Adams-Volpe, director of uniVI!rsity and external relations for the University Libraries, "so that it would give instructors the ability 10 determine themselves what the alternative might be; this policy does not attempt lo tell any instructor what the alternative should boand it definitely does not say that an altcrnatiV< has lo bo the same thing as something that was missed-just that a reasonoble alternative shall bo provided by an instructor~ And, she emphasized, "it's only fur justifiable absences." Adams-Volpe also said she iiwestigated the extent of the problems at the university posed by the lack of an absence policy-surveying the universirf ombudsmen, dean of students, office of the vice provost of academic affairs and the affirmative action office. The predominance of the cases cited by those offices, she said, deal with fuculty mbmers who change their class<S to Saturday or Sunday, leaving students with no f'fC()urse for an altemali~ make-up of r<quired cour!ework. In other business, the sena~<o's ByJaws Committee presented for a tim reading a resolution that wout<J reworl< the composition of the senat<:, how each senator is chosen and the alloation ofsena!Orsacross the various schools.

II. Some of the more prevalent rumor and boaxes det.il mistr~tmcnl of anti-war protesters or boycot.U of major bu inCSSC\ because of alliances with terrorists and their supporters. I..Jkcwi.sc, false and unsubstantiated rumors flourish by e-mail, including likely terrorist targets apd activities. and calls for donations to nonexistent charities in honor of the Jictims of 9-11 . These rumors arc often sent through e-mail or p-f,lished on Web pages, and almost always ask the reader to pass the me.ssagtalong, thereby spreading the misinfor· mation. Jn a time when real information about bioterrorism and the attacks in AfghaniStan are of vital interest, these hoaxes not only muddy the waters, they also.can cause very real and unneeded stress. Although the Internet is a conduit for 9·11 rumors and hoaus, it also serves as a valuable resource for separating truth from fiction. For example, David Emery's Urban Legends and Folklore <http'//urban~s . about.com> is~ comprehen· sive list of all types of hoaxes, myths and rumors. Its "Current Netlore" region hiU a page devoted solely to terrorism hoaxes, where readers learn that there is no evidence of Osama bin Lad.in earning money from the sale of gum arabic and that the~ was no candlelight vigil planned tO be photographed by satellite from space. Snopes.com <www..snopes.com> presents a series of pages devoted to urban legends, including several entitled "Rumors of War" related to 9-11 and the even.ts that followed. For example, the Snopes compilers point out erron in the claim that a Grccn Party activist was not allowed to fly due to her po~tical affiliation. They also detail er· rors in the photograph that supposedly was taken of a tourist stand· ing on top of the World Trade Center as the first airliner came down. Hoax!lusters <http'// hoaxl!t,.ters.dac.org/>, devdoped by the Computer Incident Advisory Capability arm of the Department of Energy, describes inany Internet hoaxes in detail While HoaxBusters traditionally examines more generic virus hoaxes and get-rich-quick schemes, it ~so blows holes in the"Donations for Printer Cartridges" scam, as well as other-9-11 related rumors. Remember reading that alarming e-mail or listening to that rumor put forward in the media or at the dinner table? Takr the time to check out facts using these sites, as well as other reference materials that the University Libraries' information professionals will ~ happy to guide you to.

For more information see, http://dublincore.org/documents/dces/. Description An account of the resource The UB <em>Reporter</em> began publication on January 22, 1970, a time of tumult at the University. It succeeded the newsletter, <em>Colleague</em>, and to this day, serves as the official source for "in house," internal news. The first issue included an editorial, "Why The Reporter?" explaining the rationale for the newspaper: <br /><blockquote> <p>The feeling was that the University lacks a sense of community—that communication is too helter-skelter—that too many groups feel alienated, apart. Somehow, it was felt, if these groups—faculty, student and staff—could come together on the commons and share their concerns and ideas, their activities, their aspirations and whatever else they have to offer, community and communications would result…But it will not produce instant community. Each of us will have to work toward that goal.</p> </blockquote> <br />The Reporter ceased print production in May 2009 when it became an online only publication; in Spring 2016 it became a daily publication.  The Reporter was re-named UB Now in Spring 2016.

UB revises exam schedule for spring m Beginning exams right after last day ofclasses will bring semester in line with laW ~SUE WUITOIIII Rtpattrr Editor T HE university will diminatr reading days and hold final exams on the weekend so that · the Spring 2002 semester conforms to statt education law. Calling the calendar snafu "less than a fiasco but more than an irrimtion," Kerry Grant, vice provost for academic affairs and dean of the graduate school, told members of the Faculty Senate Executiv. Committee on Oct. 31 that manipulating the exam schedule is the best solution to the problem. The schedule for the Spring 2002 semester as originhlly drawn up by the old university-wide Calendar Conuniftee was only 14 weeks long, inclusive of exams, and failed to meet the 15 ...<ks required by the state. In addition, it also failed to meet the 45 credit hours required bythesmte. Moreover, there~ instructional problems with the cilendar-"faculty in the clusroom reported difficulties,. be said. The abbreviated spring semester resulted because Jan.' I falls on a Tuesday and pushes the Martin Luther King Jr. hptiday-set for the third Monday in January-back a week, noted William Baumer, professor of philooopby who, along with Olarles Fourtner, professor of biological sciences, assisted Grant in revising the calendar. The spring semester traditionally has smrted on the Tuesday after the King holiday. Starting exams immediately.after the last day of classes on Friday, May 3, will "yieed the necessary 15 instructional weeks." said Grant, who was named"calendar mav.n"whcn President William ll Gmner disbanded the Calendar Committee and moved respopsibility for the academic calendar into the ~s Office_ The revised calendar also ~>ring. the nlDllber of credit hours to 44, one shon of the smte requirement, but close enough as not to att:ract any attention, be said." lfs the preferred choice among less-than-ideal solutions." He noted that beginning the semester a week early-<>n Jan: 14, rather than Jan. 22-would require opening residence halls and other facilities to the tune of $200,000$250,000, an additional cost that had not been anticipated. And extending the Semester by a week in May also would incur additional costs associated with keeping facili ties open another week, as well as interfering with comrnenctment. work and research plans, tie added. Manipulating the exam schedule produces "the calendar of least harm," Grant said, pointing out that notifying students in Noveinberthat there will be no reading days in May should give them ample time to schedule study time. Grant said he will'begin tackling a revision of the Spring calendar for future years-UB will face the same situation in Spring 2003 as it does in Spring 2002. Baumer pointed out that the King holiday pushes into the IOunh of January in any year that New Year Day falls on Thesday or Wednesday when the preceding year is a leap year.

IS in the University Inn and Conference Center, North Forest Road, Getzville. The primary goal of evidence-based health care is to make conscientious and judicious ~ of current best evidence in the deci · sion-making process regarding the care of patients. Combining in· dividual clinical expertise with the most current and best available external clini~ evidenct: from systematic research, it is a system· wide approach that seeks the involvement of all professions associ· ated with health care. The program will focus on evidence-based health care as an important movement in improving the quality of health care, and will bring together faculry in the health professions and librarians to discuss strategies fot teaching evidence-based health care principles. The goal is to insure that faculty and students in the health professions apply EBHC principles in clinical practice and adopt its methods. Speakers fTom McMaster UniVersity in Hamilton, Ontario, will share their coll.e ctivc experience and knowledge based on that school's outstanding EBHC p rograms. A panel of faculty and librar- · ians from the UB health scie.nces schools wiJJ rela'te their experi· ences in integrating EBHC into their teaching. · The conference is spo~sored by rhe Health Sciences Library and the schools of Health-Rela ted Professions, Medicine a nd Biomedical Sciences, arld Nursing.

For more information see, http://dublincore.org/documents/dces/. Description An account of the resource The UB <em>Reporter</em> began publication on January 22, 1970, a time of tumult at the University. It succeeded the newsletter, <em>Colleague</em>, and to this day, serves as the official source for "in house," internal news. The first issue included an editorial, "Why The Reporter?" explaining the rationale for the newspaper: <br /><blockquote> <p>The feeling was that the University lacks a sense of community—that communication is too helter-skelter—that too many groups feel alienated, apart. Somehow, it was felt, if these groups—faculty, student and staff—could come together on the commons and share their concerns and ideas, their activities, their aspirations and whatever else they have to offer, community and communications would result…But it will not produce instant community. Each of us will have to work toward that goal.</p> </blockquote> <br />The Reporter ceased print production in May 2009 when it became an online only publication; in Spring 2016 it became a daily publication.  The Reporter was re-named UB Now in Spring 2016.

A roll call of the dead suggests how widespread were the losses: citizens of more than 80 countries died in the attach. Among thqse killed were inleflt&· tiona! students who chose to study here in part because they respected our ideals of freedom and tolerance and felt welcomed hy our society. What troubles me is that in our response to the attacla we may compromise these ~ry ideal£ and make the United States less a beacon of freedom around the world.

In fact, however. while ·those who attended flight schools entered the country on M-visas for vocational training programs, none of the terrorists was here on a student (F) visa for higher education. -onlght--- lllhcl:.....__, There are a number of proposals before Congress to impose stricter requirements tor the issU-ance and monitoring of student visas. despite tbe fact that international students constitute less than 2 percent of all non-iinmigrant visitors to the U.S. One proposal floated . in the Senate would impose a sixmonth moratorium on the issuance of student visas. If this proposal went into effect, it woulq have a disastrous effect, not only on international education, but on large research universities such as UB that rely heavily on international students for their graduate and research programs.

The middle-daso response to this threat to the status quo, Cahn explains. was the production and promotion or what was called "museu· lar Christianity•-a focw on the physical body as a way or ensuring moral health and rectitude. For men, it embraced the ~d or male physicality that found expression in tough cccrcise and ~n g physical exploits. In the promotion of coUegiate foot· ball and other organized sports, the "heroic" male athlete began to de· velop in the national consciousness. Cahn says "The New Woman" of the early 20th cen tury-who had so boldly marched into previously male-only spaces like universities, the business world and politic5also vaulted into the athletic arona, embracing the idea of "ngorow femininity" as a counterpoint to her previously pass;.. physical role. Onu the athleticism was roncq>tually wed to maleness, however, the role of women athletes was probIematic. If sport was a "masculine" pwsuit, then it was an activity that differentiated men from women. "Theathleticwoman;saysCahn, "challenged puboc and private assumptions of what it is to bo male or female, mascuJioe or feminine." "lf athleticism is defined asa maledomain," she says. "then women athletes who demonstratestrength.dexterity and great athletic skill ronfound estabtished sex-role boundaries." Uke other cultural historians, her subject serves as a cultural flag from which much can be deduced about broader,gender-based attitudes, practices and changes.

Description An account of the resource The UB <em>Reporter</em> began publication on January 22, 1970, a time of tumult at the University. It succeeded the newsletter, <em>Colleague</em>, and to this day, serves as the official source for "in house," internal news. The first issue included an editorial, "Why The Reporter?" explaining the rationale for the newspaper: <br /><blockquote> <p>The feeling was that the University lacks a sense of community—that communication is too helter-skelter—that too many groups feel alienated, apart. Somehow, it was felt, if these groups—faculty, student and staff—could come together on the commons and share their concerns and ideas, their activities, their aspirations and whatever else they have to offer, community and communications would result…But it will not produce instant community. Each of us will have to work toward that goal.</p> </blockquote> <br />The Reporter ceased print production in May 2009 when it became an online only publication; in Spring 2016 it became a daily publication.  The Reporter was re-named UB Now in Spring 2016.

The work shows further, Sen said, that it may be possible to turn the dissipated energy from a shock wave into usable thermal energy. It also suggests that in a similar way, energy may be able to be harnessed from natural phenomena, such as ocean dividuaJ grains arr about the same.

Abir Mullick, associate professor of ardtilcct\ltt and project dirccior; Drew Kdly, assistant professor of architecturc, and Edward Steinfeld, professor .of architecture, won the award in the competition's professional category and wa-c rccogniz<d recently at the lint joint confcrcncr ofASA and the Nation:d Council on the Aging. Their two proposals for a oonvenie.nt, flexible, colorful, attractive bathroom are, like those for all univcnal-d.Signed systems. designed for able-bodied users, people with disabilities and for of use by caretaker.; of dependent users. They are based on the premi~ that the room should accommodate the user, not vice versa, and be able to be used with eq ual all persons, regardless of physical stature, age and level of physial ability. The award was presented for-two working bathrooms prototypes fabricated by the UB team:a!TlO)'llblefixtures bathroom and a movable panels bathroom, both of which, Mullick says. offer exceptional benefits to the manufacturer and the consumer. Changes in bathroom design are necessary, he says, because bath·" room technology, which hasn' t changed since bathrooms were in· vented, is not very functional. Ex· isting bathrooms, with permanent!)' installed fixtures and a single design for all users, do not work well for most people because every person has different needs, he says. "One bathroom design for all users pres~pposes that they are iden· tical lndividuals and have no need for a personalized environmen t," Mullick adds.

The sink and case ¥r reach for accessories, open faucets or support them~lves in the shower." Mullick says. This is unfortunate and unnecessary, according to Mullick, because new and readily available technologies make posoible major innovations that can address the needs of many different usersatonce--bathroomsthatart "univmal" in safety and function. The UB bathrOOIT! prototypes reflect the social and indusive philoso· phy of universal design. They have the potential to unify diverse popu· lations so that no user group is ex ~ dudedbythcirdesign. They encourage individualization through the use of flexible components so users can adapt a bathroom to suit their personal needs and preferences. Theaward-winning.bathroomsare showercanberai.sedorlow~ac· cording to use preference, and can be moved along the wall to cnlasgc spaces for those who use walke:rs. wheelchairs or have caretakers. In theory,fixture movcmcnt creates three large shower, toilet and grooming spaa:s in one small bathroom. "The room suits different body sizes. space preferences and makes it mucheasierforusersandcaretak· ers to move freely in the space with ~ out being injured," ~ullick says. • He notes that the fixtures adjust in height to accommodate both seated and standing users and individuals of different heights, including children. He explains that fixture movement is a result of innovations in existing plumbing and drain tcchnologythat """"used bcrc in an uricx>rMntional manner. This will pr<Yml slips and falls due to Wet Boors and will allow the bathroom to be hosed down for easy cleaning and maintmance. Components can be installed indq>cndmtly or together in various color combinations and design styles. They can rep1aa existing fix. turcs or be used in new construe· lion, and total installation costs and space requirements are less than those of traditional bathrooms. When designed for we by a large popuJation, the bathrooms offer manufactunrs benefits also-•a competitive advantage and an increase in marlcd share," Mullicksays. ·"'We've designed the units not only for case of operation, but for ease of maintenance, repair and re· cycling. Their modular nature allows manufact:urcrs to provide con. tinued service and production of rcplaccmcntparts." Although the bathrooms are not yet available commcrci3ny, Mullick says several major fixture companies are interested in manufacturing the components, and hotel chains have expressed in tercst in installing them. The project was<bdopcd with assistancr from the National Institute of Disability and Rl:babilitation Research of the US. Department of Education. Mullick and Kelly arc affiliated with the UB Center for lnclwive Design and Environmental Acr.ess (IDEA Center), the home of the UB Rehabilitation Engineering andResearch Center for Universal Design. Both are housed in the School of Architccturc and Planning and both directed by Steinfeld.

But the associate director ofCareer Planning and Placement at UB rea:ivcd a little career advice of his own when an WKiergraduate an student in for a chat aboUI her aspirn· tions got him thinking about one of hi>-writing a childn.'!l's book. And so the seed W'dS planted more than a year ago for his first-and recently published-book, "The Daisy Bug Daycarc." Orrange, with the hclpofhis niece and th e book's illustrator, Katie Pistner, a senior at Sacred Heart Academy, delivers a fun and rcassur· ing look at day care for roungsters just starting out. Orrangc, whost> two children, jesse, 3 1/2, and Chris· topher, I 1/2, both au end ,the UB Child Care Center in Butler Annex on the South Campus, said he always had a hankering to write a childre n's book, but wa sn't surewhat the s.ubjcct matter should be.

He and liis wife, Maureen Hammett, who also ""'Orks at UB as director of donor re· lations and stewardship in the Office of University Development, took months off at a time to be with their children when they were born, but returning to work proved to be an adj ustment. And while the book didn't help his own children ease into day care, it cenainly struck a nerve with his daughter, who took exception to her crying character the first time she read it with Orrange, and promptly threw the book into the adjoining room. Now, he said, she's a fan for life. "She knows it all by heart," he said. "It's kind of a cool feeling to have your daughter reading a book you wrote about her, for her." Orrange said he hopes others will find his stories both comforting and entenaining. "There are not a lot of books to \ prep kids on going to day care,• he said, noting that the best way to allay a child's fears is to explain a situation. A scrond book that touches on threre experiences· for the newcomer to day care--field triP, lunchtime and naptime-is due out in a couple of months. Orr.ange said both books address issues of diversity, something for which US's ccn· rer deserves high praise. "They don't just talk a game of diversity. respect and acceptance-you walk through The door and it's there." he said 'When Orrange app roached Tamar Jacobson,dirmoroftheccnter, for publishing suggestions, she offered to assist in its publication. "She just fell in lo"" with the characters." Orrange said "She thinks the I.>OOk is perfect." "The D:Usy Bug Daycare"was published jointly by Orrange and the UB Otild Care Center.

"The record should be set straigh~" Lippes added Also at the meeting, council members saw a slide presentation by Michel Bruneau, professor of civil engineering and deputy director of the Multidisciplinary Center for Earthquake Engineering Re search, who was a member of a team of UB and MCEER engineen who went to NewYorkCitytosurvey damage to buildings at ground zero in lower Manhattan following the SepL II terrorist attacks on the World Thlde Ceiller. · • The point of the reconnaissance trip, Bruneau said, was to begin to formulate ideas about how to design structures that might withstand such attacks and to search for clues on how to do so in buildings that were damaged, but still are standing. The trip was funded by a $100,000 grant from the National Science Foundation, he said. Council members also heard a report on UB'• enmllment picture forthe Fall200 I semester from Provost Elizabeth D. Capaldi. Amo~g the highlights in the enrollment surnrnary cited by Capaldi was that the ·entering freshman class has the highest mean SAT sana ofany class· since the SAT scoring methodology was changed in 1996. In addition, Capaldi ·noted, UB's graduate enrollment of 8,548 is the highest in its history. geological activities and oceap waves, also might be possible, Sen said. "It could create a situation where not only could structures be made shock-absorbent, but it might be possible for the building, the ship or the bridge that received the impact to take advantage of that energy for its own internal systems," he said. Sen said that it is likely that a system based on the present research could be used in con junetion with existing technologies for shock absorption. He acknowledged that issues such as whether or not such a system would be cost:-effective from an en- gineering-design viewpoint remain to be sorted out, and noted that much remains to be learned about shock absorption. ( "How well do we know fue scienceofshock absorption?" he asked "I would oontend that we do not know it well enough because the study of nonlinear effects, which is what a shock wave produces, is still so much in its infancy... is developing workshops and symposia for physics and materialsscience conferences on a whole new field: new shock-absorbingsysterns that are able to harness the energy o~ any impact. Shock absorption ~,_ ..... 1 amplitude of literally any size shock for any rype of material. "The crux of the argument is that as mass gets reduced, the energy of the impulse gets distributed so that no single sphere is carrying too much energy," he said."That is what reduces or absorbs the shock." Sen envisions a shock-absorption material ora structural materiaJ,such as brick, in which these chains of spheres are embedded At the same time. he said, the theoretical calculaLions provide a strong basis for the reuse of the mechanical energy of an absorbed shock wave. A similar reuse of impulses from nature, such as y Sen Calendar ISSSWorkshop Winter Driving. Carolyn Harding, American Automobile Associatkm. 31 Capen, North Campus. -4 p.m .

For more information see, http://dublincore.org/documents/dces/. Description An account of the resource The UB <em>Reporter</em> began publication on January 22, 1970, a time of tumult at the University. It succeeded the newsletter, <em>Colleague</em>, and to this day, serves as the official source for "in house," internal news. The first issue included an editorial, "Why The Reporter?" explaining the rationale for the newspaper: <br /><blockquote> <p>The feeling was that the University lacks a sense of community—that communication is too helter-skelter—that too many groups feel alienated, apart. Somehow, it was felt, if these groups—faculty, student and staff—could come together on the commons and share their concerns and ideas, their activities, their aspirations and whatever else they have to offer, community and communications would result…But it will not produce instant community. Each of us will have to work toward that goal.</p> </blockquote> <br />The Reporter ceased print production in May 2009 when it became an online only publication; in Spring 2016 it became a daily publication.  The Reporter was re-named UB Now in Spring 2016.
