Title A name given to the resource Twentieth Century Club of Buffalo Subject The topic of the resource Women--Societies and clubs--History Description An account of the resource The Twentieth Century Club of Buffalo, one of the first private clubs for women in the United States, was founded in 1894 "to advance the interests of education, literature and art" (Source: "Twentieth Century Club of Buffalo, History"). Charlotte Mulligan, a teacher, writer, and musician from a well-to-do family was the driving force behind its creation. She envisioned a club rich in tradition, education, and culture, and the elegant Green & Wicks-designed Clubhouse, with characteristic symmetry and balance, is a testament to that vision. It is the oldest women's clubhouse in the country and on the National Register of Historic Places. The Twentieth Century Club became noted for the many lavish social events held there, but education was, and still is, the primary focus of activity. Starting with an 1894 lecture on Abraham Lincoln, and continuing through the present, the Club has a long tradition of presenting prominent speakers and programs by recognized experts on a wide variety of subjects. From the 19th century, when women couldn't vote and had limited opportunity, to today in the 21st century when possibilities seem limitless, the Twentieth Century Club has truly spanned its namesake century and connected those prior and succeeding. Its history parallels and chronicles not only the history of events in Buffalo, but also that of the enormous societal changes which have occurred in its lifespan.

Description An account of the resource Third Twentieth Century Club of Buffalo President who lead the initiative to fully furnish the TCC clubhouse.

Title A name given to the resource Twentieth Century Club of Buffalo Subject The topic of the resource Women--Societies and clubs--History Description An account of the resource The Twentieth Century Club of Buffalo, one of the first private clubs for women in the United States, was founded in 1894 "to advance the interests of education, literature and art" (Source: "Twentieth Century Club of Buffalo, History"). Charlotte Mulligan, a teacher, writer, and musician from a well-to-do family was the driving force behind its creation. She envisioned a club rich in tradition, education, and culture, and the elegant Green & Wicks-designed Clubhouse, with characteristic symmetry and balance, is a testament to that vision. It is the oldest women's clubhouse in the country and on the National Register of Historic Places. The Twentieth Century Club became noted for the many lavish social events held there, but education was, and still is, the primary focus of activity. Starting with an 1894 lecture on Abraham Lincoln, and continuing through the present, the Club has a long tradition of presenting prominent speakers and programs by recognized experts on a wide variety of subjects. From the 19th century, when women couldn't vote and had limited opportunity, to today in the 21st century when possibilities seem limitless, the Twentieth Century Club has truly spanned its namesake century and connected those prior and succeeding. Its history parallels and chronicles not only the history of events in Buffalo, but also that of the enormous societal changes which have occurred in its lifespan.

Title A name given to the resource Twentieth Century Club of Buffalo Subject The topic of the resource Women--Societies and clubs--History Description An account of the resource The Twentieth Century Club of Buffalo, one of the first private clubs for women in the United States, was founded in 1894 "to advance the interests of education, literature and art" (Source: "Twentieth Century Club of Buffalo, History"). Charlotte Mulligan, a teacher, writer, and musician from a well-to-do family was the driving force behind its creation. She envisioned a club rich in tradition, education, and culture, and the elegant Green & Wicks-designed Clubhouse, with characteristic symmetry and balance, is a testament to that vision. It is the oldest women's clubhouse in the country and on the National Register of Historic Places. The Twentieth Century Club became noted for the many lavish social events held there, but education was, and still is, the primary focus of activity. Starting with an 1894 lecture on Abraham Lincoln, and continuing through the present, the Club has a long tradition of presenting prominent speakers and programs by recognized experts on a wide variety of subjects. From the 19th century, when women couldn't vote and had limited opportunity, to today in the 21st century when possibilities seem limitless, the Twentieth Century Club has truly spanned its namesake century and connected those prior and succeeding. Its history parallels and chronicles not only the history of events in Buffalo, but also that of the enormous societal changes which have occurred in its lifespan.

The State University of New York Solar energy to power apartments BY ELLEN GOLO~~UM The New York Power Authority has awarded UB $7.5 million to construct a 1.1-megawatt solar-energy array on the North Campus that will generate clean energy directly from thesuy r students living in the university's apartment complexes . The solar array, consisting of approximately 5,000 photovoltaic panels, will be installed on or adjacent to the Melvin H. Baker Chilled Water Plant on Flint Road , which delivers utility services to the 1,200-acre campus. NYPA will work with UB to provide site design, engineering and construction services for the project. This will be UB's second solar electric system; in 2006, UB installed a 73·5-kilowatt demonstration so1ar system on top of Norton Hall, which provides at least 6 percent of that building's power. The award to UB serves as a corner- stone of NYPA:s $21 million statewide renewable energy program and will advance the UB 2020 strategic plan's focus on making the university's three campuses great places to live, work and learn, in part by improving their environmental sustainability.

Add glaucoma, one of the leading causes of blindness, to the mix in the work of UB's newest arrival in stemcell research, Xiuqian Mu, assistant professor in the Department of Ophthalmology and the Ira G. Ross Eye Institute. Mu arrived at UB's New York State Center of Excellence in Bioinformatics and Life Sciences in July. The soft-spoken scientist had been working on retinal development for nine years at the M.D. Anderson Cancer Center in Houston. The position at UB represents his first tenure-track job. A member of the recently formed Developmental Ge- nomics Group at the Center of Excellence, Mu's overall research is in gene regulation, a fundamental process in all living organisms and all biological processes. He is studYing the genes involved in the development of the retina and how they might be able to repair retinal damage. '"The optical nerve is damaged in glaucoma," herelates . ..,. axonal fibers in the optical nerve are sent out from one particular cell type-the retinal ganglion cells. These cells eventually die in glaucoma patients, which is why vision is lost. The hope is that if we understand how the cells are formed and maintained, we may be able to understand the causes of their deaths. We eventually may be able to make these cells for therapeutic purposes," be says. Mu's research interest stems from his curiosity as a child growing up in a small village in eastern China along the Yellow Sea. Always fascinated by chemistry and how things react, he recalls taking apart household gadgets, like the radio, to see what made it work, much to his father's chagrin. His parents supported his endeavors, however, encour- aging him to study to become a doctor, despite their humble means. He went directly to medical school from high school, as is customary in China, but his heart was on the research side. After graduating from the medical school, Mu decided to pursue a Ph.D. in mo- lecular biology at the prestigio,_ "I felt tile mviroumellt was rigilt for me-tile people, tire facilities. tlris braud utw cellter at1d rlrr other imtitutes armmd here. ., Xiuq~nMu Peking Union Medical College in Beijing. - U.S., he decided to make fhe leap. obtaining a fellowship with the National Institutes of Health. It was here that he decided to focus his studies on the eye and one of its most prevalent diseases. Mu seems to have found a home at the Center of Excellence and values its interdisciplinary mission. .. My research involves a lot of genomics as well as bioinformatics, and I need collaborators in those fields . Because the research environment in the early 1990s was not as conducive in China as it was in the It's very, very easy to collaborate with these people here and that's a big advantage," he says. "And I've also made friends with people from different departments. The support of people here has been very helpful." Mu is eager to see UB's Downtown Campus develop. He enjoys playing basketball on weekends with a group of Chinese postdocs and students in Alumni Arena's Triple Gym. And be is developing an appreciation for the area. · suffalo has a great history and there is so much around, particularly the architecture. People are very, very friendly."

Umvers•ty Ubraues 1 P63 UBR£PORTER Eire on Eriel set for June BY PATRICIA DONOVAN Although his work and life are alive and well in Buffalo ev..ry year, 2009 will be a very big one for Irish novelist James Joyce and his legion of fans throughout Western New York. In June, international attention will be focused on Buffalo's Joyce scholars; Irish literature and drama; Joyce's life in Dublin, Trieste, Zurich and Paris; and the extraordinary collection of Joyce's papers, manuscripts, drafts, page proofs and personal belongings-including eyeglasses, canes and family portraitsheld in UB'S Poetry Collection, the largest such collection in the world. "Eire on Erie," the N'orth American James Joyce Conference, will be held here for tbe first time J une 12-17, facilitated by a $30,000 grant from the John R. Oishei Foundation and support from UB , the UB Libraries Special Collections and Buffalo State College. The biannual confetfltce is held in cities with a university or college that , like UB, has a special interest in hosting Joyce scholars. In recent years, they have included the University of California, both Berkeley and Irvine; the University of TexasAustin; Cornell University; and the University ofThlsa. In evennumbered years, an International James Joyce Symposium is held in major European cities. The Buffalo event will include readings, films, lectures, receptions. a banquet. a library exhibition and guests from here and abroad. 1be conference will be coordinated with Buffalo's popular annual Bloom.sday celebration. Bloom.sday, June 16, celebrates the day in 1904 when James Joyce's masterwork, "Ulysses," takes place; Bloom.sday scholars, actors and members of the community present performances and readings from the novel. A<cordingly, the ev..nt has two chairs, befitting this collaborative emphasis. They are Mark Sbechner, UB professor of English, and Laurence Shine, lecturer in English at Buffalo State and organizer of Buffalo's annual Bloomsdaycelebration. Shechner and Shine are working closely with UB librarians Nancy Nuzzo and Michael Basinski, curator of the university's Poetry Collection , and say tlu!Mn addition to 250 Joyce scholars, they expect between 500 and Soo members of the public to gather downtown for the Buffalo Bloomsday celebration. Shechner says events will be held primarily in the Hyatt Regency Buffalo downtown, with its proximity to restaurants , bars and cafes. Among the events planned are an exhibition of the UB Libraries' Joyce collection in the UB Anderson Gallery; a reception for visiting Joyce scholars at the new Burchfield Penney Art Center and the Albright-Knox Art Gallery; two free public readings by award-winning Irish-born fictlbn writer Colum McCann, whose novels include "This Side of Brightness," "Dancer" and "Zoli"; and a screening of Gary McKendry's 2004 film "Everything in This Country Must," written by McCann and based on one of his critically acclaimed short stories. ....., Adchttonal progrilll mfD4'matJon will be z :::; posted as it becomts availablr at http:l/ english.buffalo.odu(Jame1joyc•l.

The first step in the process is to administer to employees a climate survey that features questions based on the main tenets of a great place to work, "which generally fall into trust , pride and camaraderie," says Kath ie Frier, director of the Wellness and Work/Life Balance unit in HR. Frier notes that the climate survey initially will identify "areas where the groups are doing very well-that could be identified as best practices-and areas we should focus on when trying to effect some change." Bowen called the climate survey the "'starting point " in the process. "'We also anticipate looking for additional ways to get employee input and feedback," s uch as focus groups. "to get a more complete picture of what's going on in th e department."

In doing so, the UB-NYPA project will promote the development of innovative solar technologies. As a resu lt of this project , Western New York could become a new center for green-collar jobs as the UBNYPA partnership includes collaborations with the university a nd area colleges to start training and certi fying personnel in the installati on of solar panels. President John B. Simpson sa id UB "takes great pleasure in accepting this exciting grant from the New Yo rk Power Authority.M MBy helping us generate our own power on ca mpus, this solar array helps us take a s ignificant step toward meeti11g one of the primary goals of the American College and Univers ity Pres idents Climate Commitment, in which the university has pledged to go 'climate-neutra l,'" Simpson added. Combined with existi ng clean energy purchases, this project puts UB well past the 15 percent interim renewable energy target set for signatories of the Presidents Climate Commitment. Simpson noted that the project also will foster education and resea rch in the School of Engineering and Applied Sciences in the area of renewable energy, providing opportunities to study and track the real-time functioning of an on-site clean energy system. Cont rary to the conventional wisdom about Buffalo's weather, data from the National Weather Service shows that from May through November, Buffalo is the sunniest and driest city in the Northeast , mak ing it an ideal candidate for generating solar power. �PG 4 UB REPORTER ~ay14 . 2009 , Vol. 40 No. Jl BRIEFLY Police investigating gtadiUite's death Buffalo police are lrM!stlgating the death of lavon JaWoo. who was shot on Main S1reet early Sooday morning. one day after pluating from the School of Engineering and Approed Sciences.

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 slate of projects- funded by New York State during previous years' budget cycles, with additional support from private donors-includes bold, new buildings and transf. tive renovations, as well as repairs to existing facilities and enhancements to public spaces. From a state-of-the-art engineering building and a new home for the pharmacy school to a s.ooo-panel solar array, this season's projects begin to physically embody the UB 2020 plan for achieving academic excellence and securing UB's place among the nation's best public research universities. More than 1,000 construction jobs will be created as a result of the projects on the North, South and Downtown campuses. Moreover, recent studies by the state Division of Budget a nd the Governor's Office indicate that each $1 spent on a capital construction project equals $5.70 in re,1ated regional economic activity. Applying this model to the UB projects, univetatY officials estimate that the capital construction will ereate more than $2 biiJion in regional economic activity.

The Ad Hoc Task Foree on Gender Equity in Promotions at UB, a self-designated group of faculty, held signs and passed out fliers before the meeting citing statistics that President John B. Simpson and Provost Satish K. Tripathi have dllJl,ied tenure to 12 of 53 women-23 percentand 9 of 91 men-10 percent-between 200304 and 2007-08. .. In the last five years, the provost reversed 15 percent qf [144 tenure uses] in one direction or another," said Paul Zarembka, professor of economics and grievance officer of academics, United University Professions. ·When a negative recommendation from the President's Review Board, which is the last faculty review, was reversed in a positive direction, it was always male. ·When [a positive recommendation] was reversed in the negative direction, t hree-fourths were female." During the senate meetiog, David Shucard, professor of neurology, again requested the tenure concerns be brought forth for open discussion. No items could be added to the agenda, however, due to the absence of a quorum, said Robert G. Hoeing, associate professor of lin- perception of UB, cementiog a closer relationship." Since this past fall, 14 functional teams and a total of 33 staff members from across campus have been working on the project . July 2010 is the scheduled completion date for the pilot, including new or revamped content for each selected site. "I believe in what a diverse group of people, working collaborat'ively, can achieve," says Cain. "Our work with Univer· sity Commun ications and the office of the chief infor mation officer has been an excellent partnership t hat will result in what I hope we accomplish: a collaboratively and thougbtfullr designed Web site that positions UB and its schools and programs in a consistently branded way." WCI team efforts are being supplemented by an outside consultant, m Stoner of Chicago. Over the next five months, mStoner will collaborate with UB's teams to provide overall site structu res, navigational schemes and information flows based on the business objectives of the sites and consultation . . . . . . . . . . . . pollll-...the ......., ·--·e.~uo· SUff writer.

First women receive UB law degrees The first iemale graduates of the UB Law School received theiJ:Jiegrees uo years ago. Two women-Cecilia (sometimes shortened to Cecil) B. Wiener Oeft) a.nd Helen Z.M. Rodgers (right)-and 44 men made up the Class of 1899. In the final rankings, Rodgers finished first in the class and Wiener eighth. UB was among the first law schools to admit women, and when they enrolled in 1897, Rodgers and Wiener were following other female students attending UB's professional schools. The first female graduate in the medical school was Mary Blair-Moody in 1876; Rosa Schorp was in the pharmacy school's first graduating class in 1888 and Annette Rankin was in the dental school's third class in 1895. Wiener became the first judge of what is now the Erie County Family Court. Rodgers was the first woman to practice law in Buffalo and the first woman to argue a case before the New York Court of Appeals. ln 1919, she argued a case before the U.S. Supreme Court. Rodgers was associated with the finn of Moot, Sprague, Brownell & Marcy from 1906 until1940, and was an unsuccessful congressional candiin 1936. Wiener and Rodgers practiced Jaw for 20 years before they were allowed to vote. The women remained friends throughout their careers, and both worked to expand the rights of women and children. Both died in 1960. Twenty years later, Rodgers' papers were found in a basement storeroom at 1141 Delaware Ave., her last reside nce. They now are housed in the University Archives. were colleagues in organic chemistry. Throughout his career, Padwa 's research interests have ranged widely over mechanistic and synthetic organic chemistry, and his group has studied the mechanism of metal catalyzed cycloadditions-methods used to make many different heterocyclic ring structures that are found in natural products and pharmaceuticals. His group bas applied these new methods to the synthesis of natural products. research scientist whose expertise focuses on women's substance use and related negative consequences, will begin at 10 a.m. on the first floor of the RlA building at 1021 Main St. on the Buffalo Niagara Medical Campus. The lecture is free and open to the public. The lecture is the first in the chemistry department's new lecture series in honor of the late Howard Tieckelmann, a highly respected and beloved former faculty member and department chair.

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 just amazing," added Brooke Arber, brand manager of Smart Center Buffalo, who was instrumental in making the Smart Car collaboration with the School of Management a success. The highlight of the evening was a talk by Schembri, who shared with the audience how Smart Car came to the U.S. and why it has been so wildly successful. He also lauded the student presentations, saying that Smart Car came to many of the same conclusions in its real plan. "Your analysis was well thought out, well presented and you really captured the essence of our brand," Schembri told the student teams. "And your recommendations were spot on."' He also said the teams had a few ideas that Smart Car might use down the road .

But new research by psychologists at UB and Miami University in Ohio indicates that illusionary relation&hips with the characters on favorite TV shows can provide people with feelings of belonging, even in the face of low self-esteem or after being rejected by friends or family members. The findings are described in four studies published in the current issue of the JounuJ.I of Experimental Social Psychology. "'The research provides evidence for the 'social surrogacy hypothesis,' which holds that humans can use technologies, like television, to provide the experience of belonging when no real helo!$!ngness has bee.n·experienced," saJ!'onc ofthe study's authors, Shira Gabriel, UB assistant professor of psychology. "We also argue that other com· monplace technologies-such as movies, music or interactive video games, as well as television-can fulfill this need." Gabriel's co-authors are Jaye L. Derrick, postdoctoral associate and adjunct instructor at UB, and Kurt Hugenherg, assistant professor of psychology at Miami University. The first study of 701 undergraduates used the Loneliness Activities Scale and the Likelihood of Feeling Lonely Scale to find that subjects reported tuning to favored television programs when they felt lonely and felt less lonely when viewing those programs. Study 2 used essays to experimentally manipulate the helongingness needs of 102 undergradu ate subjects and assess the importance of their favored television programs when those needs were stimulated. Participants whose helongingness needs were arpused reveled longer in their descriptions of favored television programs than in descriptiotis of non-favored programs, the study found. Study 3 of 116 participants employed the Ro!enherg Self-Esteem Scale, the Positive and Negative Affect Schedule and an eight-item measure of feelings of rejection to find that thinking about favored television programs buffered subjects against drops in self-esteem, increases in negative mood and feelings of rejection commonly _Campaign asks faculty, staff to give to UB BY CYNTHIA MACHAMER The Office of Annual Programs is reaching out to UB faculty and staff to solicit gifts for the various annual funds of the university.

Approximately 6o percent of UB students qualify for need-based aid every year, she says, noting that financial assistance can be the deciding factor in a student's college choice. The goal of the annual campaign, Baumgarten says, is to raise participation rates. Last year the participation rate was 11 percent. "With our plans to grow through UB 2020, annual gifts from faculty and staff also help UB attract the brightest faculty, who bring the classroom to life for students through their innovative teaching and research," she says, adding that the Annual Fund helps provide for enrichment workshops , special seminars and conferences. "Faculty and staff may make a gift to any UB school or program of their choice, such as the University Honors College, a student emergency fund or the department from which they graduated or work," Baumgarten poi nts out. '"The UB Annual Fund is one option-providing the unrestricted resources necessary to fund innovative programs, address urgent needs and fund a level of excellence not supported through state assistance." She cites several ways in which faculty and staff may donate: oVia payroll deduction at http://giving.buffalo. edu/z/node/424.pdf.

Study 4 asked 222 participants to write a to-minute essay about their favorite television program. and then to write about programs they watch "when nothing eloe is on," or about experiencing an academic achievement. They then were asked to verbally describe what they bad written in as much detail as possible. After writing about favored television programs, the subjects verbally expressed fewer feelings of loneliness or exclusion than when verbally describing either of the two control situations (essays about programs watched when nothing else is on, academic achievement). This is evidence. say the researchers, that illusionary or "parasocial" relationships with television caaracters or personalities can ease belongingness needs. It remains an open question, say the researchers, whether social surrogacy suppresses belongingness needs or actually fulfills them, and they acknowledge th at the kind of social su rrogacy provoked by these programs can he a poor substitution for -real .. human-tohuman experience.

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 results, published in tb& March issue of Clinicol Psychology Review, found that teaching parents and teachers how to respond when children do things the right way-as well as when they display harmful or aggressive behavior-is effective, and in S()me cases more effective, than medication for ADHD. "This revi...t'\bows that behavioral treatments work, and in general work well; said Gregory A. Fabiano, assistant professor in the Department of Coun· seling, School and Educational Psychology, Graduate School of Education, and first author on the paper. "For the past couple of decades, there has been considerable professional controversy about the role and adequacy of behavior-modification treatments in the care of children with ADHD. The next step is to figu re out how to make them work for individual families over the long run because we now know that ADHD is a lifelong condition."

Evans and an as yet-unnamed team member are expected to accept the Norton medal on behalf of the team. The 1958 team won the Lambert Cup-the trophy for the top-rated small school in the East-with an 8-1 record. Team members unanimously declined a bid to the Tangerine Bowl-at that time the only bowl bid in UB's history-after being told they couldn~ bring African-American A co-recipient of the 1985 Nobel Prize in Chemistry, honorary degree recipient Herbert Hauptman is widely regarded as the most innuential scientist ever to have lived in Western New York.

William Pelham Jr., UB Distinguished Professor in the departments of Psychology, Pediatrics and Psychiatry, is co-author on the s tudy. Fabiano noted that ADHD is one of the most common mental hea lth disorders among children. "Our results suggest that efforts shou ld be redirected from debating the effectiveness of behavioral interventions to dissemination , enhancing and improving the use of these programs in community, school and menta l health settings." In the future, Fabiano plans to work with teachers. parents, pediatricians and clinicians in the commu nity to emphasize the effectiveness of behavior-modification treatments. His research also includes developing strategies to get fathers more involved in the treatment of children with ADHD and the use of driving simulators to help teens with ADHD learn to drive. Fabiano is a recent recipient of the White House's Presidential Early Career Award for Scientists and Engineers, the nation's highest honor for professionals at the early stages of their scientific research careers. . . �PG 2 UB REPORTER April 23 . 2009 " Vol. 40 No. 28 PROFILE: KATHY TWIST Personal connection~ aKIIG O IJI HR develops new employee evaluation forms Uniwrsity Human Reso!ro!s has dewloped a , _ lonna! for potfonnanre P"'9"fl1S and evaluations for UB prolossional staffv.ilo .,.l1ll!f'f'lbeB of United UnM!My ~ (UUP).

What t<~~• :-l P6 3 U8 REPOII1BI World experts on hyperbaric medicine convened in the Hyatt Regency in Buffalo last week for a scientific symposium recognizing UB faculty member Claes E.G. Lundgren for his contributions to the field and to honor his recent appointment as a SUNY Distinguished Professor. Lundgren, who is retiring but will continue his research, is a Distingu ished Professor of physiology and biophysics in the School of Medicine and Biomedical Sciences. He founded and for many years directed the Center for Research and Education in Special Environments (CRESE). He bas made major contributions to the fields of respiratory medicine, hyperbaric medicine-the medical use of oxygen at higher than atmospheric pressure-and, more recently, an artificial blond substitute. He is one of the world's most renowned specialists in respiratory physiology in specialized environments. His research bas advanced the understanding of respiratory mechanics related to breath-hold diving, breathing with diving equipment, and the design and development of improved underwater breathing equipment. He holds or is a co-inventor on more than 100 patents. The symposium was titled "The Physiology and Pathophysiology of the Hyperbaric and Diving Environments." UB faculty members David R. Pendergast, current director of CRESE and professor of physiology; Joseph Mollendorf, professor of mechanical and aerospace engineering; and Harold Strauss, ehair of the Department of Physiology and Biophysics, served as members of the symposium organizing committee, along with Capt. J . Murray of Naval Sea Systems Command, U. Cmdr. Matthew Swiergosz of the Office of Naval Research and William Mints of the Naval Experimental Diving Unit. The U.S. Navy is a major sponsor of Lundgren's research. A banquet honoring Lundgren and his accomplishments was held April18. at the Naval Research Laboratory, Hauptman moved to Buffalo in 1970 to join the UB faculty and what is now known as the Hauptman-Wondward Medical Research Institute (HWI). Under his leadership, HWJ-a major researeh partner ofUB-bas earned an international reputation in bioinformatics. Hauptman used mathematical procedures known as direct methods to determine the atomic arrangement of crystal structure based on its diffraction pattern, wbieh earned him and his researeh partner, Jerome Karle, the Nobel Prize. Hauptman and his colleagues recently developed a revolutionary procedure employing supercomputers to numerically solve unknown molecular structures-a discovery with monumental implications for therapeutic drug design and the treatment and pre\'ention of critical diseases. One of the best known and most highly acclaimed comedy artists of our time, Alan Zweibel is an accomplished writer, performer and producer. He bas earned distinction in virtually e\'ery aspeet of the entertainment industry, from stand-up comedy to television and movies to theater- both on and off Broadway. He currently is finishing his next Broadway show, tentatively titled "Sunday Nights at S:oo," and is doing a television pilot with Bob Newhart. His new book, "Clothing Optional: And Other Ways to Read These Stories," a collection of short stories and essays, has just been published by Random House. Irene Zubaida Khan is the first woman, first Asian and first Muslim to bead Amnesty International, the world's largest human rights organization. Appointed Amnesty's secretary general in August 2001, she bas led the organization through ehallenging developments in the wake of the terrorist attacks of Sept. u , 2001. She bas confronted a post-9{11 backlash against human rights, broadening Amnesty's work in economic, social and cultural rights, and initiating a process of internal reform to enable the organization to respond rapidly to world e\'ents. She also bas sought to bring a strong focus to the issue of women's human rights and violence against women. J.

When no one else was interested, Buffalo attorney and Law Sc;hool founder Charles P. Norton agreed to assume the positio~eo Norton learned that Erie County was interested in relocating its almsbouse and would sell106 acres for use as UB's campus, he promoted the site as "no finer location could be secured which would adequately allow for the future expansion of the university.• Many laughed at the idea that the university could ever need that much space, thinking, instead, that a block or two around the medical and dental buildings on High and Goodrich streets be sufficient. Norton thought otherwise, and by 1909 he had raised the purchase price of $54.300-a bargain at about Ssoo an acre. While some donations were as large as $1,000, most of the Harvard anthropologist Michael Herzfeld will . wrap up the three-part Theorist and Jurist se!"inar series presented by the Baldy Center on Law and Social Policy with a lecture from 4-6 p.m. today in 509 O'Brian Hall, North Campus. The series is being presented in conjunction with the creation of a new Baldy Center Working Group on Law and Anthropology in the UB Law School. In his lecture, titled "Housing Rights and Historical Wrongs: Gentrification and Neoliberalism, from the Eternal City to the City of Angels; Herzfeld will use the examples of Rome and Bangkok to address the conflict among legal rights such as eminent domain, free market values and constitutional and international agree- ments as they relate to the right to housing. He also will examine the rights of the state and other authorities to decide what is historically significant and the strategies that local ac- funding came from gifts of a dollar or le!s delivered personally to Norton's of- fice. In 1919, UB purchased the rest of what is now the South Campus and wa,yraoted a one-year extension to fulfill the terotS of the original purchase. UB had land for a campus, but no money for buildings. With time running out, Norton presided over a mock groundbreakiog in June 1920 and told the assembled guests, "We have planted an acorn, which when it grows God alone knows the fruit thereof." A month later, the Orin Foster family donated $500,000 for a ball of chemistry and the following year the construction of what would become Foster Hall began on a site once occupied by horse and cattle barns for the former county facility, as seen in this 1888 photograph. - John Edens and Sboonie Finnegan, University Archives tors adopt to rebut such claims and establish their own moral claims. Herzfeld will continue the discussion on Friday with a screening of his film "Monti Moments: Men's Memories in the Heart of Rome" at4 p.m. in 355 Millard Fillmore Academic Center, Ellicott Complex, North Campus. He presents the struggle between poor and middle-class locals, their wealthier neighbors and real estate developers in the Roman district of Monti through informal conversations with longtime residents who have seen the rapid gentrification of the historic neighborhood.

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 State University of New York Nazi archives on view at UB BY PATRICIA DONOVAN In addition to the massive atrocity ofthe Holocaust and the individual horrors that attended it, most people have no idea of the extent of the weirdly obsessive record· keeping practices of the Nazis bureaucracy, whose millions of mundane and detailed materials present excruciating and u~niable evidence of its terrible crimes. The existence of these records, documented by noted photographer Richard Ehrlich, not only takes our understanding of the Holocaust to an entirely differentand most uncomfortable-level, but also explicitly and powerfully challenges Holocaust denial. The UB Art Gallery in the Center for the Arts, North Campus, will present this evidence in the stunning exhibit "The Holocaust Archive Revealed: Bad Arolsen through the Lens of Richard Ehrlich," on view Thesday through June 20.

Through Ehrlich's lens, the viewer encou nters the chilling precision and obsessive mentality of the Nazi bureaucracy. Today, at a time of resurging Holocaust denial, these thousands of folders, storage boxes, stacks of papers and ledgers-normally the mundane paraphernalia of record keeping-provide painful and irrefutable evidence of history's most unimaginable crime. The exhibition comprises 28 panels feat uring photographs taken in the ITS, accompanied by text detaili ng the varied contents of the archives, which were collected from a number of sources, including the Gestapo, ghettos, prison camps and other agencies of Nazi authority.

UB employees are ad· vised to open, read and respond ID all correspondence from BUDCO within the specified timeframes. Failure to do so will result in the removal of dependents from coverage. The Dependent Eligibility Verifica· tion Project will be rolled out in phases. which will indude a special amnesty period during which ineligible dependents can be removed without penalty. �PG 4 UB REPORTER April 16. 2009 " Vol. 40 No . 27 BRIEFLY FLASHBACK Fundr•l••• to benefit GSE student 5tew•rt An "All You Can Eat" fundraiser for Amy Stewart, the lJB graduate student wbo was seriously injured in a hit-and-run accident on March 7, will be held April 23 in the Tiffin Room in the Student Union, North Campus.

In 1963, Moving Up Day became known 1'! Spring Weekend, losing much of its formality. It later morpbed into Springfest, which now is limited to a concert. For more on Moving Up Day and student life at lJB, visit the University Archives exhibit at bttp://library.buffalo.edujarchives/students/. 87AGO ing Up Day started in 1922. A mix of pomp and fun, Moving Up Day took place in early May and marked the endof the acad~c year. ... It was a celebration of achievement and student activity. In addition to traditional convocation events, athletes were awarded their varsity letters, student election results were announced and the university's varioua colleges were pitted against each other in friendly competitions. Over the years, Moving Up Day included all sorts of activities: a parade with floats (and sometimes camels), an awards work by eiiCb of the students and brings together the disciplines of art, art history and critical theory. The works take many forms , including interactive videos, painting and photography, large-scale digital prints, performance and installation, and cover a broad range of topics, among them patterns of consumption, pop culture and personal narratives.

YEARS -Karen Morse, University Archives Sustainability prepared to take the next step in fighting climate change, he said. Constructing more energy-efficient structures or "smart buildings"-as well as retrofitting pre-existing buildings to meet highe.r energy standards-remains one of the most important strategies for curtailing GHG emissions as UB expands under UB 2020, said Michael Wironen, a sustainability specialist for Ecology & Environment Inc., who also spoke at the forum. Other energy-saving proposals include upgrading lighting in campus buildings, curtailing beat loss from leaky doors and windows, purchasing power from renewable sources and generating power on campus using technologies ranging from solar panels to windmills to growing plants for biofuel. A survey recently conducted by UB Green revealed that 71 percent of UB's overall GHG emissions come from purchased electricity and the on-campus •stationary combustion .. of fossil fuel , Wironen said. A bot topic among forum attendees was parking and transportation, including proposals to limit freshman parking, to price parking based on distance from the academic core and to encourage public transportation, bicycling and carpooling. Wironen noted that 14 percent of UB's GHG emissions come from university commuters and 9 percent from university-related air travel. Using classroom-clicker technology to record their impressions, many attendees supported unbundling the cost of parking from student transportation fees so that UB could begin charging students to keep a car on campus. Other suggestions include reduci ng paper waste, encouraging telecommuting and fostering student interest in sustainabiHty by offering more cou rses-or a new undergraduate major-on the topic. Proposals for paying for the plan included redirecting cash recovered from on-campus e nergy-savings, including $9 million per year from previously recovered costs, into revenue streams dedicated to implementing the plan's suggestions. � 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.

The plan was developed by the Environmental Stewardship Committee, which is charged with leading UB's sustainability efforts. As part of Presidenl John B. Simpson's signing of the American College and University Presidents Climate Commitment in March 2007, UB-and all of the 620 institution s of higher education nationwide that signed the commitment-must develop a plan by September 2009 to make their campuses carbon neutral, defined as having no net greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. Dala gathered by Ihe Environmenlal Stewardship Committee, as well as feedback received from the more than 200 faculty, staff and students who attended the first Sustainability Forum last October, have been incorporated in the draft climate action plan.

Children, warm weather and dogs-even family dogs - don 't mix well, according to a st udy conducted by UB pediatric otolaryngologists. Results show that children are vulnerable to severe dog bites in the head and neck areas, and that there is a correlation between cases of dog bites and rising temperatures. "A dog is man's best friend , but could be a child's worst companion," notes Philomena M. Behar. clinical assistant professor of otolaryngology and the study's corresponding author. "Children are particularly vulnerable to severe dog-bite injuries on the head and neck, and the injuries can be extensive and a risk to life, especially in young children." she says. .. Youngsters don't understand the need to distance themselves from danger. They may even look like prey, especially as they run around, and children usually can't outrun the dog or defend themselves." UB REPORTER The study appears in the March issue of Orolaryngo/ogy-Head and Neck Surgery. The authors reviewed the charts of the 84 children up to 19 years of age who were treat- bites were on the cheeks, 21 percent on the lips and 8 percent each on the nose and ears. Sixty-four percent of the patients suffered more than one facial wound and 40 percent ed fo r dog bites at Women and Children's Hospital from 1999 to 2007. Results show that the average age of injured children was six years. One-t hird of the of the total injuries had to be repaired in the operating room under general anesthesia. Dog bites increased as the weather warmed, the researchers found, and a family pet was the culprit in 27 percent of the injuries. Behar noted that health-care providers in treating these injuries should collect as much information as possible, including breed and sex of the dog, spay or neuter status, history of aggression, ownership and owner's use of restraint, time of the incident, the child's past history of dog bites, location of the incident and the dog's vaccination history. "'This information is important to be able to identify trends and develop and promote prevention strategies," she says. Angelo Monroy of the Department of Otolaryngology, is first author on the study.

Then, as part of President John B. Simpson's Community Engagement Task Force, the Office of Community Relations was created at UB in fall 2006. Clark was named its first director. BY PATRICIA DONOVAN Since then, he has forged deeper relationships with the neighborhoods surrounding the campuses through communication ~ the UB Neighbor newsletter has a circulation of t6,ooo homes around the South Campus, with a Downtown Campus edition expected to begin this summer. Clark's office has helped develop business, residential and social programs, events and relationships.

While strengthening relationships 'A'ith surrounding campus communities is a priority, Clark is quick to acknowledge the big commun ity picture. "We have eq ual responsibility to ensure the broader impact of the university and the engagement that comes along with it." ln accordance with UB 2020 as this region's main economic development priority, the Office of Community Relations is charged with ensuring access to the full economic promise of the plan, he says, in terms of workforce development, civic community, business and education. "I think we're at a critical point right now where the definition of or the understanding of the university's role in the community is evolving," he says. Clark and his family are constituents of the university community, residing in the South Campus neighborhoods for nearly 11 years.

It may take 13 or 14 hours and .arne readers will be more experienced than others, but for those who would bask in the glow of every poem ever written by 19thcentury American poet Emily Dickinson, Saturday is the day to pack a lunch, grab a pillow and waltz on down to the Karpeles Manuscript Museum. That day, in honor of National Poetry Month, the UB Department of English will sponsor a free, public marathon community reading of all 1,789 of Dickinson's poems from 8 a.m. to about 9:30p.m. in the museum at 453 Porter Ave., Buffalo. Anyone who wishes is welcome to listen or read aloud some of the most arresti ng verse in the English language. There is no formal schedule of readers and no preregistration is required, but three Buffalo celebrities will ltick off the readings that.morning: state Assemblyman Sam Hoyt, actress Josephine Hogan of the Irish Classical Theatre and President John B. Simpson. "Everyone is welcome to show up, sit in a circle with other participants and take a turn reading the poems," says Dickinson scholar Crista nne C. Miller. Edward H. But~ Professor of English and chair of the UB English department. "We will read them consecutively, in the order they are printed in Ralph Franklin's 1999 edition, 'The Poems of Emily Dickinson,'" copies of which, she says, will be provided to the readers by Talking Leaves Books. Miller says the reading will open with Dickinson's early valentine, "'Awake ye muses mine ..." and will end with her undated reflection on the "'magical frontier" between beauty and death, or pleasure and sorrow. The latter begins, "The saddest noise, the sweetest noise ... " and ends with the stanza, "An ear can break a human heart I As quickly as a spear. I We wish the ear had not a heart I So dangerously near." There will be a brief break in the reading from 1-1:30 p.m. while the Unitarian Universalist Choir directed by Barbara Wagner performs settings of Dickinson's poems written by composer Leo Smit (1921-99). A professor in the UB Department of Music from 1962-84, Smit set more than 100 of Dickinson's poems to music. Although the readings will not be interrupted for discussion, those interested will certainly find willing discussants outside the reading circle. Coffee and tea will he available during the readings, along with a '"black cake"-a molasses-based raisin cake-made according to Dickinson's own recipe, for as long as it lasts. Snacks also wi11 be available at various times during the day. The reading will end with a party celebrating Dickinson, Buffalo readers of her poetry and National Poetry Month. Organizers recommend that those who plan to stay for several hours bring a bottle of water. Readers who want to take a break also can explore an exhibition hosted by the Karpeles Museum and the UB Poetry Collection, including two manuscripts of Dickinson's poems and first editions of her books of poetry and of books she herselfloved to read. If either of them came to UB, I beli""' that they would giw the audience many things to think about.

The drawback bas been in finding a way to deliver the siRNA, which is not stable by itself. The scientists succeeded when they combined the siRNA molecules with gold rod-shaped nanoparticles, called nanorods. This may be the first time that siRNA molecules h ave been used with gold nanorods. "What is unique here at silencing a gene in the brain using RNA techniques," said Supriya D. Mah ajan, research as- sistant professor in the Department of Medicine. The gold nanorods' rod-like shape also allows more siRNA molecules to be loaded onto their su rface, further increasing their stability and allowing for better penetration into cells. ~e have demon- strated that we can use these gold nanorods to stabilize the siRNA molecules, take them across the blood-b rain barrier and silence the gene," said l ndrajit Roy, deputy director for biophotonics at the institute. The nanorods delivered 40 percent of the silencing RNA molecules across the blood-brain barrier model, significantly higher than the amounts that have been achieved previously in other experiments. Computers Unfortunately, UB's ability to provide on-campus computing resources for neighborhood residents cannot keep pace with the community's needs. In response, the university has developed a plan that calls for working within neighborhood "hubs," including community centers and churches. to build computing capacity and meet the demand for technology. TI1is effort initially will focus on neighborhoods closest to the UB South and Downtown campuses. UB IT's computer services department provided volunteer technical support for the new community computer lab.

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 pair of the rare birds, which were spotted by local birdwatchers last spring and summer, have returned to take up residence in the tower of MacKay Heating Plant on the east side of the campus. University Facilities was prepared. Working with officials from the state Department of Environmental Conservation , Ronald C. Van Splunder, manager of architectural support for Facilities Planning and Design, built a nesting box and received permission from the state Office of Historic Preservation-the MacKay tower is a state historic landmark- to install the box near the top of the tower. Facilities Operations staff, using a ladder to cl imb the 137-foot tower, installed the nesting box a couple of weeks ~ ~ ago wh ile replacing a window as part of the tower's spring maintenance program, Van Splunder says. "'Three days later, the male falcon came back," he says. At that time, the female bad not been seen. But on March 24, "photos were taken of the pair together in the nesting hox. We're assuming there are eggs in there; he adds, although that has not been confirmed. A Web cam that also was installed is not functioning; officials hope to have the camera worki ng this week. The UB Reporter will publish its URL when the camera goes live. Van Splunder says the falcon project bas been a lot of fun for Facilities staff.

However, the university also expects the budget to include an additional $6 million to $9 mimon in permanent cuts to its state operational budget-on top of the $21 million in permanent cuts UB experienced last year-through the loss of tuition revenue, a tax on UB's sponsored resean:b funding and reductions to funding UB receives through on-campus athletic events, student fees and health services. The budget calls for the re-appropriation of $138 million approved last year for two projects critical to UB's plans for new construction and relocation of programs to the Buffalo Niagara Medical Campus. Of this funding, $118 million will be used for construction of a Center for Clinical and Translational Research and Bioscience Incubator within the 10-story Global Vascular Institute being built by Kaleida Health in partnership with UB. Groundbreaking for the new building is expected this year, with construction to be completed by 201 1.

Wile building in downtown Buffalo, which UB purchased in 2007 and renamed the UB Gateway. The building will house several UB community programs, as well as UBMD, the university's clinical practice organization. The state budget also restores and continues funding for such highprofile research centers and programs as the Research Institute on Addictions; MCEER, a national center of excellence focused on multi-hazard engineering headquartered at UB; the Center for Advanced Biomedical and Bioengineering Technology; and the Strategic Partnership for Industrial Resurgence (SPLR). Statewide funding for educational television and radio, which includes UB's public radio station WBFO-FM 88.7, was partly restored to $15 million from $19 million statewide.

Tomita, clinical associate professor in the Department of Rehabilitation Science, School of Public Health and Health Professions, does paint for personal enjoyment : Her still life adorns a nearby filing cabinet. But these days her real canvas is about making a difference in the lives of elderly people. In Tomita's pilot st udy funded by the National Institute on Aging, 40 elderly people in Western New Yorkliving at home and suffering from congestive heart failure-were taught basic use of the computer. Over the next year, they took part in daily health-monitoring exercises on a secure Web site, recording vital signs and respond ing to questions on health behavior, including medication use, exercise, fatigue and salt intake. By taking a few minutes to complete the health log, participants were able to recognize the cause and effect of various practices, Tomita says. They also received emotional support to lessen social isolation. plus automatic alerts when sudden weight gain (indicative of dangerous fluid retention) signaled them to contact their physician. "'In the treatment group, we didn't lose any [patient] due to congestive heart failure. We did lose several people in the control group due to congestive heart failure," Tomita says of this chronic and debilitating UB REPORTER condition. It is, moreover, the most expensive illness facing Americans 65 and older because of recurring hospital stays and frequent "My goal lrru always beerr that people emergency can stay in their homes, rather than room visits. go to a nursing home. " Results of Mxhiku TomiU the pilot study were published recently in the online Journal of Multidisciplinary Healthcare. Tomita now is applying fo r a second grant to develop this research with 6oo participants and three sites in Buffalo, Texas and Virginia. She says it's a misconception that older people don't use computers; this fact holds promise for the study's long-term implications. "Once a computer becomes available to them, the use pattern is the same as for younger people." Tomita first acquired her passion for research as a young journalism student at Sophia University in Tokyo. She went on to earn an M.A. in mass communication and a Ph.D. in social research, both from the University of Minnesota. She has published numerous journal articles and has advised or mentored scores of students since arriving at UB in 1992. Currently, she supervises the \\o'Ork of eight graduate students-watching them grow is like seeing flowers bloom, she says. "One student who knew nothing about research when she came here has published a paper with me and is now writing a second paper to publish. The students involved in research become more responsible-they start paying more attention to detail and they become more logicaL They can start seeing what they are doing objectively.

The UB office group has participated annually at this campus rite of spring, and its upcoming seventh appearance on April 25 is an auspicious occasion-the 2sth annual Oozfest. Run·by the University Student Alumni Board, Oozfest is the largest double-elimination mud volleyball tournament in North America, according to Patricia Starr, assistant director for student and reunion programs in the Office of Alumni Ri.lations and USAB advisor who coordinates the event. It began April 25, 1985, as a way to relieve pre-exam stress for students and bring the university together. At the outset, there were only 16 teams playing on two courts at the site where the Commons now stands on the North Campus. Today, there are 1.28 teams playing on 1.6 courts in a dedicated mud pit along St. Rita's Lane near the Amherst bike path. The majority of teams are made up of students, with about 30 percent consisting of alumni and nearly 10 percent staff and faculty. "The students think it's cool that we're showing our support for a tradition, and they see us in a whole different light," observes Phyllis Floro, assistant director of Student Life and a veteran of Efil Tneduts, which she named.

It will generate thousands of new jobs and spur business growth throughout the region. Construction of the Global Vascular Institute with Kaleida Health is an example of the type of public-private partnerships in which UB hopes to engage to move UB 2020 forn•ard during the economic downturn. Such partnerships, UB officials say, give the university the financial flexibility to pursue the goals of UB 2020 in an expeditious and cost-effective manner, without additional burden on taxpayers. A bill before the state Assembly and Senate-A.2020/ S.2020, the UB 2020 Flexibility and Economic Growth Actproposes to give UB similar and additional flexibilities needed to move ahead with UB 2020. Simpson noted that while the re-appropriation and restoration offunding for UB programs is good news. he remains concerned about the additional $6 million to $9 million ln projected cuts on top oflast year's $21 million cut. '"The best way of getting us out of this financial crisis over the short and long term is to implement the high-impact, low-cost reforms we are seeking from the state through the UB 2020 Flexibility and Economic Growth Act," he said. �April 2. 2009 " Vo l. 40 No . 25 1 for UB office group !CMioo of Efil TneduiS Included, &om left.

Slithering from the slime as the Student Alumni Association's "Oozeball tournament'" and conceived as a "release" before the pressure of finals, the first event was held near Clark Hall, with an unof· ficial companion "Oozeball night " sloshing along at P.J. Bottoms watering hole. Within a couple years, UB's Oozfest tournament achieved national and international notice and participation. The courts moved from South Campus to Parcel Bon the North Campus-where the Commons now resides-to a permanent gooey home on St. Rita's Lane. Starting out as a two-net tournament with about a dozen teams, by 1995, 96 teams splashed, crashed and slid in the Buffalo ooze, including collegiate and alumni mudders from Canada, Michigan and California. Now, more than 1,000 players and spectators get in the grime. The event sponsors student scholarships, Alumni Board programs and, this year, the Make-aWish Foundation of Western New York. 1990 participant Shawn Mattaro graphically glori· fies the goo in a story in the Reporter: "I took a step onto the court and instantly sank eight inches into the sloppiest, coldest mud .. .! felt the mud seep into my shoe and start to creep up my leg like an overactive parasite.

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.

David A. Paterson's 2009-10 budget proposal would leave the university no choice but to consider cutting positions and programs. That was one of the messages President John B. Simpson delivered to about 400 faculty and staff members Thesday during the first of three Town Hall meetings set for this week. Simpson also told those attending the meeting in Slee Hall, North Campus. that the cuts in state funding will not affect the ultimate goal of UB 2020. US achieved the $21 million in cu ts-approximately 10 percent of its operating budget-through efficiencies realized through such UB 2020 initiatives as the HR and IT transformations, by units using one-time money to plug some holes due to the loss of permanent funding, and by using reserve funds that were to be invested in UB 2020 . Those funds are gone forever and .. the bills are coming due ," he noted. .. We have been lucky in what we look like right now," he said ... In the future , we are going to have to consider e\'ery single imaginable change to the university in order to deal with a cut of the magnitude of 15 percent of o ur fundamental operating fund s. .. We have to consider eve rything, such as elimination o f positions," he said . .. We have to consider carefully every program, every unit; we have to understand how im- portant and how necessary it is to our fundamental mission as an academic institution.· UB has not seen this kind of hardship yet, Simpson said, but will in the future "unless for some reason these catastrophic kinds of cuts are prevented." He called Paterson's budget proposal, which is being debated in the Legislature, "remarkably punitive to research universities," compared with comprehensive campuses. For example, UB would take a 5 percent cut in its base operating budget under the proposal, while Buffalo State College, a comprehensive university, would see a 2 percent increase, he said, with the difference in the funding for the two types of institutions due to "things that are being taxed and things are being cut" that are inherent to the way research universities do busit..u.H .. ,.,. ] �P6 2 UB REPORTER March 26. 2009 " Vo l. 40 No. 24 EOC exec BYJUUE WESOI.OWSI(l ._,It Aa:ordiD& !D SbonJI Weau' mather, abebom with dla!k Ill ...

The spectacular increase in the use of psychiatric drugs over the past so years involved what a UB historian calls ..a massive break with what we consider 'no'lllal' mental health," one linked to myriad social and cultu ral changes in America. "Happy Pills in America: From Miltowo to Prozac," a new book by David Herzberg, assistant professor of history, considers a wide ra nge of psychiatric medications hailed as "wonder drugs" and the social changes they provoked. He examines how we came to see "normalcy" in light of their moodaltering capabilities, and how we respond to the ba rrage of drug advertising aimed at consumers. "Patients have always demanded sedatives and stimulants from their doctors," Herzberg says, "but after World War II, something new happened. A vast and powerful system of commercial medicine anchored by pharmaceutical companies brought the values and practices of the consumer culture to psychotropic medications." He says these values and practices were used to market scores of prescriptions for the treatment of depression, mania, anxiety and a host of other disorders, many of which were unfamiliar to the general public as common illnesses. "This system drastically changed t he way we viewed normal mental health by dramatizi ng emotional problems to promote pharmaceutical solutions. As a result, the products sold well, made the drugs themselves household names and the conditions they treated part of the public conversation about health; be says. "The real transformation brought about by the cultural celebrity of these drugs, however, is in the political dimension of happiness." First, he says, medications helped make "happiness" an obligation of middle-class citizenship. lf, as the marketing assured us, we could he "happy• with pharmaceutical assistance, then the implication is that we should he "happy." "Second ," Herzberg says, "the availability of these medications opened up new arenas for contesting, challengi ng and, ultimately, remaking what that ' happi ness' could entail, often in directly political terms." Herzberg notes that in the 1950s, it was argued by pharma- ceutical marketers that women, having strayed from their "natural" domestic roles, bad become anxious and needed tranquilization. "By the 1970s, however,' be says, "many came to be persuaded that a sexist medical system was funneling tranquilizers to housewives to keep them in happy servitude. •There are many explanations for why women were prescribed and used so-called 'happy pills' at twice the rate of men," he says, 4>ut contrary to what many believe, it was not because pharmaceutical advertising of drugs like Valium and Miltown targeted women." Herzberg's work addresses aspects of the process of medicalization, by which health or behavioral conditions came to be defined and treated as medical issues. The process itself usually involves changes in social or political attitudes and typically accompanies or is driven by the availability of treatments. "No one denies that drugs from Miltown to Valium to Proz.ac, Celexa, PaxH, Wellbutrin and many others have saved lives and made life easier for many people with emotional problems," be says. .. What we are unaware of in general, however, is that the meaning ascribed to tranquilizers and antidepressants, a nd to normalcy itself, has been molded and remolded along the way, a nd the result owes as much to commerce and cultu re as it does to science."

"Inside El Barrio: A Bottom Up VK!W of Neigbbomood Life in Castro's Cuba" by Henry Louis Taylor, professor of urilan and regional planning. School of Architecture and Planning, charts the legacy of the last 15 years of Fidel Castro's Cuba through the lens of Cuban bousehold life and offers insights into the bottom-up, neigbbomood-based participatory democracy that helped support Castro's regime. Because he knew many Cubans well and could pass for Cuban himself, Taylor was able to conduct extensive research in Havana neighborhoods during the final and most complex era in Castro's dictatorship: Periodo Especial (the special period), during which Castro called upon the masses to prepare for a sustaine~iod of bard times. In his research, Taylor found two Cubas: one, the simplified, one-dimensional Cuba that many people "discover" through tourism or from the writings of anti-Castro political propagandists. '"The other," Taylor says. "is a more complex and multi-dimensional Cuba, where people live in a highly stable aod deeply organized society and exercise considerable control over the development of neigbborboods (e/ barrios) and communities that are imbued with participatory democracy, reciprocity, cqllaboration and cosmopolitanism." It is tbis Cuba that continnes to sustsin the government, despite severe economic hardship, Taylor says. "No iron wall exists between these two Cubas," he explains, "but people rarely get insight into the world inside ei barrio." It is that aspect of Cuban life that the book explores. Taylor spent a great deal of time visiting Havana's neigbboriloods between 1989 and 20o6, a period marked by the abrupt collapse of the Soviet Bloc that plunged Cuba into economic catastrophe marked by unprecedented financial hardship, a marked increase in social tension and the emigration of thousands. "One of the most important things I learned is that it takes time before most Cubans will befriend you, speak to you in frank terms and carry you into their world. Without tbis r.,;nknJ'SS, it is easy fo.....,reigner to be misled, misinterpret conversations and/or form false impressions," Taylor says.

That's because for eight weeks they were students in a Ballroom Dancing class sponsored by US 's Wellness and Wor1c/ Life Balance initiative.

Her husband. who is eight inches taller, always draped himself over her when they danced. The classes <hanged all that. "He oow holds his head up high and I don't lead anymore,· she excitedly says. The classes were held on Wednesday evenings on both North and South campuses, and taught by the husband-and-wile team of Dick and Sue Murray. Students learned the basic steps of some of the most com· mon ballroom dances, such as the rumba, foxtrot and swing. Dick Murray says that from the very fim week of class, students were able to learn dance steps well enough to look presentable at a weekend wedding. And the dance classes can help bum up to 500 calories an hour. Some faaolty rnerriJen were more apprehensive. Teny D. Connell, an associate professor in the Department of Microbiology and Immunology, School of Medicine and Biomedical Sciences, admits that his wile, whom he described as an incn!dible dancer, dragged him to class. "I've learned a few steps here and there. I can't say I've learned the enjoyment of dancing yet. but ~·s been OK.• His wile, Patty Masso-Weich, adds: · He should get a Purple Heart.· John Schank. a nu"" practitioner in the Student Health Center, found the class made him happoer alter woric.

Although the classes ran for only eight weeks, the dancffi interviewed all hope that instruction under the Murrays will continue at US. "I'm hoping we'll continue because you can't really get better unless you practice. and going to dass seems to be the only way to make time to practice,· says Schank. -Julie Weslowski neighborhoods-so important to the way the socialist system operates on the ground in Cuba-were critical in sustaining the Castro regime while other socialist countries were collapsing in the late '80s."

Auden brings the poetry of modernism to UB Young "leftist" poet Wystan Hugh Auden came to UB on March 24, 1939. as a distinguished lecturer sponsored by the university's James Fenton Foundation and its chairman, Charles D. Abbott. Auden was 32 at the time and had received Britain's King's Gold Medal for Poetry two yea rs earlier. At Ox· ford University, he and fellow undergraduates Cecil Day Lewis and Stephen Spender had formed the "Oxford Group"-young poets influenced by literary modernism. Auden had left England and settled in New York City just prior to his visit to Buffalo. His UB lecture, entitled "Integration and Freedom in Uteratu re,.. reflected his preoccupation with World War II, as well as moral, political. social and psychological concerns. He was the first poet in English to integrate the imagery and terminology of clinical psychoanalysis in his work. Auden"s first book of poetry was published in 1930. He received both the Pulitzer Prize for Poetry and the Bollin· gen Prize in Poetry. Auden died in Vienna in 1973. Following the Sept. 11, 2001 terrorist attacks, his poem "September 1, 1939," was read on National Public Radio and widely circulated . - Judith Adams· Volpe, University Libraries ~ .. ~ Go to www.buffalo.edu/ubreportH/flashbad: to hear NPR's 1Scott Simon r~ad eKcerpts from ·septtmber 1, 1939: I ~t~o~~!~P.!?!~~~- S "From our perspective, we want to expose them to the opportunities at the university. We want them to think about college. We want to give them that experience that will help keep them on the pathway to college." Administrators organizing both the Excelsior and Passport STEM programs see them as the beginning of a continuing process to expand the summer programs available to middle and high school students hosted by the university. "The hope is that Passport STEM will be a program with multiple sections, so everyone can start there,• says Huber. "But then the vision is that there will be a whole host of more specialized camps, so once students begin to see what their interests are, they can really immerse themselves in engineering, science, math or other areas of specialization. We also hope to develop residential and competitive camps to attract students who are interested in more intensive summer experiences.• The two summer programs also contribute to UB's broader goal of strengthening the pre-K-to-16 pipeline. "When we think about having UB involved in prekindergarten to 16, or college, we think about what we can do to improve that pipeline by reaching down into the middle grades and getting these students educated and engaged." says Huber. "That will then facilitate their transition into these programs. And they are important, not just for the students' own success, but for the success of the economy, regionally and nationally." � 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.

'Prosperity' scholarships funded BY MARY COCHRANE In a n effort to ste m the migration in recent yea rs of many young, ta lented profession als from Western New York, the Prentice Family Foundation has given a significant gift to help UB s tudents graduate a nd establish their ca ree rs here in the eight-county region. The Prentice Fa mily Foundation's Western New York Prosperity Scholarship Program is designed to help build a highly educated, innovative and experienced professional workforce prepared to contribute to the economic growth a nd s ustainability of the area. These scholarships will enable qualified juniors, seniors and graduate students in the UB schools of Medicine and Biomedical Sciences, Engineering and Applied Sciences, and Management to become better acquainted with career possibilities with the region's businesses and industries. More than 2 0 scholarships are expected to be granted , each with a maximum award UB REPORTER of $25,000. The 12-month scholarships will cover s tudents' unmet cos ts to attend UB during the academic yea r a nd fund summe r inte rnships at leading compa nies a nd industries throughout the region. "Through this gift, my family hopes to make a multi-generational impact on Western New York, helping to transform it into a 21s tcentury knowledge economy," said Bryant H.

When we give, we provide the scholarships, accessibility, equipment and resources they need. Educating students is our core mission at UB, and we should all support that. When we as faculty and staff give, we show that support for the US family starts right here-at home. And, as Bob Shibley and Warde Manuel said in their solicitation letter to us recently, "When UB thrives, we all benefit.· Why do you give 1 I believe in what the university is doing and, as we say in annual programs, every gift matters, everyyear.l really believe that. I give in good times and I'll continue to g ive in challenging times. As state support declines, private support from individuals, corporations and foundations is more critical than ever. Annual giving is a way for all of us to get involved. I often hear people say, " I can't give a lot." Really it's not just about the size of a gift; it's about demonstrating that we believe in the mission of US. Participation is very important. Anything you want to add1 I would like to take this opportunity to thank all faculty and staff who have supported the university in the past and recognize all of those who have given gifts of all sizes. Gifts from S100 to S 100,000 benefit someone you know-a student, colleague, mentor or friend. Many faculty and staff already give. In fact, 11 percent of US faculty and staff give almost $1 million annually. ! hope many more will join us so that they, too, can make a difference in our collective future. I hope everyone knows that they can support the areas within the university that are important to them. Payroll deduction is a convenient way to give.

With the support and involvement of President Clifford C. Furnas and the leadership of linguistics professor Henry Lee Smith Jr. and Episcopal chaplain R. Sherman Beattie, the symposiums in 1964 and the two following years assembled some of the leading figures in civil rights, sociology, psychology and religion to address "racial, sexual, economic and other forms of unjust discrimination." Those who particip~ted in the symposiums were challenged to "'examine and reflect upon these complex issues so that one's endeavors in the cause of justice may be wise and discriminating." Symposium participants included James Farmer, president of the Congress of Racial Equa lity and an organizer of the 1963 March on Washington; psychologists Kenneth Clark and Thomas Pettigrew; sociologists Arnold Rose and Frank Tannebaum; theologians John Burgess and M . Moran Weston; and theologian William Stringfellow (pictu red right) and James Forman (left), executive secretary of the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee and another organizer of ~ March on Washington. Research Before the second symposium convened in April 1965, Congress had passed the Civil Rights Act of 1964, and with the civil rights bill then law, the second symposium focused on the racial schism that still existed. '"The Long-Term Process of Building Community" was the theme of the concluding symposium in Apri11966.

The record spending is documented in the NSF's "Survey of Research and Development Expenditures at Universities and Colleges." "'Across the board, UB's researchers continue to be very successful in today's very competitive researchfunding climate," said Jorge V. Jose, vice president for research. •This is good news for the university, as well as the Buffalo-Niagara area, since it documents one important aspect of UB's increasing economic impact on our region: UB's research funding is responsible for more than 3,000 jobs.on the North, South and Downtown campuses. These positions include faculty researchers, technical staff, research assistants and administrative staff-a highly skilled workforce that is the building block of a knowledge-based economy. The majority of UB's research expenditures continued to be in the life sciences, which at $225.2 million represented 65 percent of the total amount of research expenditures in FY 2008. The next largest category was engineering, representing 18 percent of total research expenditures. Twenty-six departments and centers bad research ex~ exceeding $2 million in FY 2008, up from 21 the previous year.

Frier explains that Ull's involvement in the program initially will be as a pilot, with Crofts, Kimball and EOC selected to participate so that each of Ull's three campuses was represented. If it is successful, the progTlliD may be offered to the entire campus in the fall. Frier points out that statistics from Wegmaos indicate that many participants in previous challenges have seen multiple health benefits, including weight loss, lower blood pressure and cholesterol, better overall eating habits, more energy and a decrease in depression-related symptoms.

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 on UB 2020. Co-founder and principal of AVCOR Consulting, Morris had met Simpson while Simpson was The urge to help others has a lways been strong in Scott Morris. In one of his first jobs as a Los Angeles police officer in South Central Los Angeles, he helped serve and protect residents in some of the country's most dangerous neighborhoods. Now, as associate vice president for University Human Resources (HR) at UB, he helps university employees lea rn to better serve themselves, a nd their careers, through professional development. As the head of the Organizational Develop me nt and Training (OD&T) unit, Morris has grow n OD&T into an office offering more than so instructor-led classes a nd the la rgest e-Lea rning library in the SUNY system. "I think there's been a desire for the sort of se rvices that we're providing for a while," says Morris, who's been in his current positi on about 16 months ... From ea rly on, o ur strengths concept. Morris joined UB full-time in 2006 goals were to create a fairly broad-and hopefully topica l and interesting-catalog of classes and, coequalp important, to create real organizationa l cha nge." OD&T seeks to address the needs of a wide variety of employees from across the university... Topics range from software and computer productivity to communication , negotiation, team\O{ork and conflict management. There are programs for front· line employees, as well as supervisors and managers," he explains. For example, '" The Supervisor's Learning Forum," a popular monthly series t hat attracts aboul6o people per session, presents content from nationally recognized experts and features a discussion forum wi th a panel of UB supervisors. "The whole heart of the program is about trying to change the dialogue between supervisors and employees," says Morris. "You can't take good people out of a bad env ironment , give them great training and put them back in that bad environment and expect things to change. You've also got to consider the chain ofJeadership and management that is critical to supporting the learning." Morris first came to UB in December as executive director of strategic planning. "I really strongly believe in the ideas behind UB 2020 and in the University at Buffalo community," says Morris. Prior to co-founding AVCOR in 2001, Morris was director of operations and training for ExecuTrain Inc., a softwaretraining firm, and director of training and education for PeopleSupport Inc., a multinational provider of online customer service. "!loved [policing) and I miss it, but ultimately it wnn't very entrepreneurial," Morris says of his career switch in 1996. "I bad multiple desires all at once-the desire for public service, which was part of being a cop, but also the desire to be a businessman and entrepreneur." On a certain level, he says OD&T res tored that chance to serve by providing the opportunity to teach people to excel in their professional-as well as personal-lives through training and development programs.

That's the general response received by the 40-member UB delegation during its meetings with legislators and staff as part of UB Day in Albany, UB Council member Pamela Davis Heilman reported at the council's meeting on Monday. The delegation had traveled to Albany on Feb. 23 to lobby for the UB 2020 Flexibility and Economic Growth Act, a bill sponsored by the Western New York delegation and introduced in the state Senate and Assembly that would help UB achieve the objectives of UB 2020. The delegation included senior UB administrators, faculty and staff members, community members, students and council members Heilman, Christopher J. O'Brien, Edmond J. Gicewicz and Robert Pape, student representliPve to the council. "The meetings that were scheduled for us throughout the day were extraordinarily meaningful; we met with absolutely everybody we needed to meet with," Heilman said. "People really listened; we got their attention.

"We had to have been literally his first stop as he came off the airplane," she said of Paterson's attendance at the evening reception, during which he delivered remarks. More than 200 people attended the reception, Heilman added, many of whom delegation members had met with earlier in the day and it gave them "a chance to re-engage and talk."

"My view is that all of thesewhether we're talking about the vision itself or the legislation which enables changes in tuition, as well as some of the aspects of how we do our business-these are all part of the same package," he said. "I see a wealth of possibility and I see remarkable things that can happen here, as well as in the unjversity more broadly, over the next 20 years. But it's going to require a substantial cultural change in how SUNY and how New York does its business; Simpson said. "I think the resistance we're running into is simply that we're changing the culture." In other business, the cou ncil unanimously approved a resolution congratulating the UB Bulls football team on its stellar 2008 season. Warde Manuel, director of athletics, and head football coach Th rner Gill attended the meeting, as did players Drew Willy and Andrae Smith .

For more information, contact Jim Simon at 829·3535 · In 1963, a year after UB joined the SUNY system, faculty members were asked to sign the Feinberg Certificate stating they were not involved with the Communist Party and were familiar with the Fein· berg Law that made it possible for faculty to be dismissed for belonging to organi· zations considered subversive by the New York State Baard of Regents. Four faculty members felt this limited their academic freedom and infringed upon their First Amendment rights. Pro· fessors Harry Keyishian, George Hoeb· field, Newton Garver and Rlllph Maud refused to sign the certificate; poet George Starbuck (pictured here), hired to work in the acquisitions department of the University Libraries, refused to answer a question on his civil service application. In 1964, with support from other col· leagues, the ACLU and the American Association of University Professors, the five took their case to federal court (Keyishian et a!. v. Board of Regents) to cpntest the constitutionality of the Feinberg Law. A year earllllt the House Committee on Un-American Activities had come to Buffalo and subpoenaed UB professor Paul Sporn about his truthfulness in signing the Feinberg Certificate. In July 1965, New York State elimi· nated the need for faculty to sign the Feinberg Certificate. However, the Keyishian case continued to be pursucci 46~ Baird Foundation gift for WBFO tower The Cameron and Jane Baird Foundation has given an additional $40,000 to WBFO-FM 88.7, UB's National Public Radio af· filiate, to support installation of the station's new towe r and antenna from which it already has be· gun broadcasting.

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's Center for the Moving Image (CMO, directed by Em my Award-winning arts filmmaker Elliot Caplan, professor of media study, will host "An Evening with Richard Foreman• at 7 p.m. March 23 in the Market Arcade Film and Arts Center, 639 Main St. in downtown Buffalo.

Foreman will discuss his work and screen material selected from 25 years of his plays, as well as his last film production in Japan and th e U.K. Foreman is a to-time Obie Award-winning playwright, director and designer of more than 57 vanguard plays whose action is driven by misundersta nd infrlnstead of by traditional conflict.

For 40 years, he has made it a practice to provoke change in his audiences by stripping the theater bare ..of everything but the singular and essen tial impulse to stage the static tension of jnterpersonal relations in space." ....., He is best known as the founder and director of the OntologicalHysteric Theater (OHD, an institution that may have something to teach Western New York playwrights and producers who dare to be Experimental pla)Wf'ight and director Richard Foreman will conduct an intensive theater/film workshop with UB media study and theatre and dance students dur· ing a visit to Buffalo next month. ~ ~ I For more informahOo on Foreman and "Th. ubteporttrlforeman. India Gift in 1958; the first Fay's drugstore was in Syracuse. Fay's boasted more than 270 locations and nearly $1 billion in an· nual sales when J.C. Penney Co. acquired the company in 1996. "We are pleased to once again be honored with a gift from the Panasci family, whose legacy of giving to UB began long ago with Henry Panasci Sr., was passed on to Henry Jr., and now is coijti nued through the generosity of his wife, Faye Panasci, and their children," Wayne K. Anderson, dean ofthe pharmacy school, said. "As Fay's grew in size and success, the Panascis never forgot their founding premise: to value their customers and give back to their communities, which is reflected in this most recent and generous gift." President John B. Simpson praised the Pa- UB REPORTER nascis for "viewing UB as an institution worthy of the family's investment and trust. "Thei r support of UB and, in particular, of the pharmacy school's new flagship building, demonstrates the family's continuing ability to spot the highest quality products, in this case, higher education," Simpson said. "We thank the Panasci family for offering the gift of learning to future generations of students." David Panasci said that his grandfather and father, both of whom are deceased, would be thrilled to be giving once again to UB and to the pharmacy school, which they view as sharing their "sense of community." "UB and the pharmacy school were a positive experience for my grandfather and father, no question about that.

"My father especially would be so excited about giving back because of the growth the university and the school have seen in the past few years."

Roseanne Berger grew up in a bousebold that also served as the practice for her father, a general practitioner in Yonkers, N.Y., who tended to his patients for decades, delivering their babies and performing minor surgeries. Inspired by his example, she beeame a family physician and continues his legacy of community care, albeit on a different scale. As senior associate dean for graduate medical education, Berger presides over nearly Boo residents who are training in 63 programs sponsored by UB in hospitals throughout the community. "The UB faculty are based in those hospitals that serve as the laboratory for training residents," she says. Berger did her initial training in family medicine at UB in the late 1970s where she met her husband, Daniel Morelli, now chief medical officer at Buffalo General Hospital. After a brief stay in San Diego, they returned to the area and joined the UB faculty, working as faculty members in a community-based, model family medicine program. Berger moved to the medical school on the South Campus in 1992 to help coordinate a course in community-oriented primary care involving internal medicine, pediatrics and family medicine. lt was the first time that all three departments had worked together to train students in primary care, and the success of the course led then medical school dean John Naughton to ask Berger to head the new graduate medical education office that was being established. "When I first started, the training was primarily hospital-based. Now, hospitals are very different places than they were 15 or 20 years ago. More training occurs in ambulatory settings," she observes, ·and professionalism, communication and health care system issues, such as patient safety, are explicitly taught. The challenge for us is to be sure that the quality and education is maintained across all those settings." Berger feels that the newly formed Great Lakes Health System of Western New York, which unites Kaleida Health, Erie County Medical Center, UB and members of the community, will s trengthen the residency programs. "I think it's creating a wonderful opportunity because most of our residents are rotating through multiple hospitals," she says. · sy creating a strong academic medical center, we'll have a critical mass of faculty and be able to make in- "It's a duma: for UB to r<tJCh out tD the community and shan~ of its ~with thL public.. f!osunDOiltrver te11igent decisions about where residents wi11 receive the best experience." A passion of Berger's has been coordinating the Mini-Medical School at UB, a series of lectures and programs on issues of health care and medical research that attracts audiences io the hundreds, ranging from high school students to seniors. Berger gauges interest in topics and invites UB faculty members to share their knowledge and enthusiasm for their subjects in a straightforward, often lighthearted manner. "People are very interested in health care and medical research. They're laughing, responding, asking good questions,'" she explains. "The evening is education, but it 's also entertainment.'" One of her goals is to use the MiniMedical School as an enticement for people to go into the health care field . "I'd like to see the high school and UB college students' enrollment grow; sbe says. In addition to this wide spectrum of outreach, Berger continues to maintain a primary care family medicine practice. "It's limited, but my patients tolerate it because I've known them for a long time; she remarks, not unlike the longtime care dispensed by her father a few generations ago. �PS 4 .IIPGIIBI February 26. 2009 " Vol. 40 No. 21 BRIEFS .. ...._ ,._...... a- William E.

He also is looking at bow Borrelia burgdmfrri regulates its host-adaptation, thriving in both ticks and humans. And he is studying the role of a particular toxin produoed by 71-eponema denticola in periodontal disease. Li's lab currently employs a single postdoctoral researcher; the research funds will allow him to recruit three more postdocs and a full-time technician. In earlier research, Li demonstrated that removing a particular gene interferes with Borrelia burgdorfen's motility. Spirochetes are shaped like long coils and travel with a wave--like motion. Reversing course requires the coordination of their flagella from each end. The gene Li removed coded a protein that is essential for that coordination. Li showed in a mouse model that interfering with the spirochete's motility in this way prevented it from causing disease. This suggests an ave nue for attack on the spirochete. A second potentially exploitable vulnerability is the internal signaling that allows Borrelia burgdorferi to switch genes on and off to adapt to the hos t environments of mammal and tick, with their different temperatures and immune responses. Li has described a two-stage signal sequence. If the sequence could be interrupted, the spirochete's ability to infect humans through ticks would presumably be stopped. The lab's work on 1teponema denticola currently is focused on a toxin it secretes that appears to cut up human immunoglobulin. 7reponema denticola is particularly interesting in dental medicine because it is always found at the frontier in dental plaque, suggesting that it plays a role in periodontal infection. Li hopes to discover whether this protein is a virulence factor. One of his recent successes is the development of a reliable method for producing genetic mutants of 7!-eponema denticola in large enough quantity to study. Li started research on spirochetes after graduating fro m medical school in China and working in a hospital for two years. He was interested in infectious diseases and went to graduate school fo r more study; h is mentor and Ph.D. director was an expert on spirochetes, and that set Lion a career path that led through West Virginia to Buffalo. � 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.

Results of the FDA Phase 2 trial, conducted with 48 subjects at the UB dental school, showed that the spray appears to be safe and effective. The Phase 3 trial will be carried out later this year at the UB dental school and other clinical sites. Ciancio said that if the Phase 3 trial is successful, it may~ean the end of injections for any dental work performed on the upper teeth. Ciancio aod colleagues conducted the initial prelimi· nary dental studies using the nasal spray, which is being developed by St. Renatus U..C, based in Fort Collins, Colo. The nasal spray formula being tested is related to a drug used by ear, nose and throat physicians when they operate on the nose. Patients who receivt!d this anesthetic reported that their upper teeth felt numb, sparking interest in using the anesthetic for dental procedures. The spray is effective only on the upper teeth. Other investigators involved in the Phase 2 and preliminary trials, all from the School of Dental Medicine, were Eugene A. Pantera, Carol T. Pantera, Fadi Ayoub, Davis Garlapo, Nina Kim and Benita Sobierj. UB students assist at crash site Theirs was difficult work, but done with hu· miHty, dignity and , especially, compassion for others. Eleven students in the Ph.D. physical anthropology program under the direc· tion of Joyce Sirianni, SUNY Distinguished Teaching Professor in the Department of Anthropology, volunteered at the site in Clarence Center where Continental Flight 3407 crashed on Feb. 12 , as well as at the Erie County Medical Examiner's (ME) Office. Five students worked at the crash site, whi1e others helped out at the morgue. Their work in the field is now completed. "All these students are physical anthropol· ogists- this is important," says Sirianni, who was present at the crash site and the ME's offiCe when not called to her teaching duties. "All are trained in anatomy-they have comparative anatomy, primate anatomy, gross anatomy, dental anatomy. They have had forensic anthropology, which concentrates on identifying calcified tissue, i.e., bones and teeth. This is very important because in the field they need to be able to recognize that it 's a bone, not a stone or a stick. "Furthermore, they are trained to identify individual bone fragments." The students themselves launched this volunteer effort to serve so directly in the aftermath of the tragedy, Sirianni says. One student, Jennifer Byrnes, sparked the effort and initially coordinated getting all of the volunteers to the ME's office. Despite the magnitude of the disaster, the students were able to harness their emotions and serve others, says Sirianni. "Because they went out knowing they had the skills, they were confident that they could help. They had a sense of dignity they had learned. They know to respect the human body. They know how to respect privacy. They are also very humble. They knew they had a role to play. "When I was out at the site, the FBI people and the ME's people made a point to come up to me to say bow much they appreciated the students-their professional attitude, their seriousness, their thoroughness. At the end of the day, the students were absolutely drained. They would call me at night because they needed to talk to someone." Asked what was the most difficult part of the forensic work, Sirianni offers a heartbreaking detail. "I think it was our seeing the personal effects-to see a piece of clothing or a ring. You realize this was a real person, this was a person with a life and an identity. And you can no longer be clinical about that.• �P6 2 UB REPOR1ER February 19. 2009 " Vol. 40 No. 20 Video documenting work of UB choreo BY PATRICIA DONOVAN Japanese artist Yuichiro Yamada says it took a law degree, a cinema degree, working on a film with his favorite director and months on a Toyota automobile assembly line to inspire him to come back to the U.S. to focus on his preferred medium , documentary video.

With the current budget situation and severe enrollment pressure during the academic year on a number of introductory courses that are required for various programs, we see an expansion of the summer session as a way to optimize the use of limited facilities and space, and absorb much of the enrollment pressure while generating some revenue. In the long term, the UB 2020 plan to grow the university by 10,000 students may necessitate making summer a "third semester. • While this is a university-wide effort. it will be primarily CAS-focused in summer 2009.

Over the past three to five years, we've had at least 1,000 more students each year taking science lab courses. There are some chemistry, biology, physics and math courses that fill up quickly due to limited seating related to physical space and lab facility constraints. By offering more sections of these courses during the summer, we can relieve the pressure during the academic year. What kinds of courses are being offered? The College of Arts and Sciences is offering 40 new courses during the summer of 2009, ranging from an online version of psychology to political science, to media study to classics. Most are for undergraduates, although a small number of master's-ievel courses will be offered. We hope to upend the selection of master's courses in coming III1IVMfl.

Saddled with the responsi· bilities of a young mother, she applied for a job at U.S. Steel. "I was hired as the token white female," she explains. As one of only three women in a maintenance crew at the steel plant, Dickson worked as an apprentice pipefitter-a truly groundbreaking role for a woman during that era. He r apprenticeship wasn't without the issues that many women in traditionally maledominated workplaces faced during the 1960s and 1970s. Dickson was harassed and assigned the dirtiest , most difficult jobs by her boss. "I really wanted to quit , but at that point I had a husband who was unemployed and a baby to take care of, so I had to stay." She left her apprenticeship for a position in the labor gang at the steel plant and became involved in the women 's committee of the union . "If it hadn't been for the union , I would have b says.

"I thought about a wedding I attended this weekend for a friend 's daughter.

Ill No ~ right' way to handle tragedy BY PATRICIA DONOVAN After a collectivii!ACauma, s uch as the Feb. 12 crash of Continental F1ight 3407, an entire community-or even the nation-can be exposed to the tragedy through media coverage and second-hand accounts , according to a UB psychologist. · Individuals potentially suffer negative effects on their mental and physical health , even if they have not 'directly' experienced the loss of someone they know or witnessed the event or its aftermath in person,.. says Mark Seery, assistant professor of psychology. In this type of situation , it is common for people to think that everyone exposed to the tragedy will need to talk about it, and if they do not , they are suppressing their .. true" feeli ngs, which will only rebound later and cause them problems. This is not always the case, Seery explains. "Expressing one's thoughts a nd feelings to a supportive listener can certainly be a good thing, whether it is to family and friends or to a professional therapist or cou nselor. However, this does not mean that it is bad or unhealthy to not want to express thoughts and feelings when given the opportunity." Seery's perspective results from his research of people's responses following the terrorist attacks of 9/ll. He and colleagues studied a national sample of people, most of whom did not witness the events in person or lose a loved one. They did , however, experience the events through the media. "We found that people who chose not to express at all or who expressed only a small amount in the immediate aftermath of the tragedy were better off over the following two years than people who expressed more. Specifically, they reported lower levels of mental and physical health symptoms." From this research Seery concludes there is no single correct or healthy way to deal with a tragedy such as the crash of Flight 3407, which claimed 50 lives. .. People are generally resilient and have a good sense of what coping strategies will work for them ," Seery says.

Although Clark was dedicated in 1938, the construction of a pool was delayed due to lack of funds . When completed, the 35-X·75·foot pool was hailed as the "largest and most modern in Buffalo and o ne of the best in the country.'" While the pool was being constructed , the first UB men's swimming team , nicknamed "Water Bulls" by the "Buffalonian ," was training. US had hired Bill Sanford (pictured in center), former Amherst High School swimming star, decorated World War II veteran and recent US graduate, to form the team. Sanford and team manager Bob Hen- derson struck at deal with the Humboldt YMCA. UB's fledgling team could practice in tbe.Y's pool in return (or Sanford agreeing to coach they team f-..ee. Known as the "Legend of Clark Pool," Sanford coached swimming and tennis at UB for 31 years. He also coached the Buffalo Police Department's underwater recovery squad and invented a device that assisted in the scoring of diving events, as well as a new surface for diving boards. Intercollegiate swimming moved to the North Campus in 1985 when the second phase of Alumni Arena was cOriipleted. Accolades for the new pool in the Alumni Arena Natatorium were reminiscent of those for the Clark pool36 years earlier. -John Edens, University Archives 60~ Anna Quindlen, Newsweek columnist, social critic and author, will speak at 8 p.m. M&r1:h 4 in the Center for the Arts, North Campus, as part of UB's Distinguished Speakers Series.

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.

Family murder-suicide is still relatively uncommon , but I expect an increase in such incidents over the next few years because economic strain on families provokes depression and desperation ," says Sampson Blair, associate professor in the Department of Sociology, College of Arts and Sciences. He adds that family researchers have long pointed to how financial loss produces a two- to three-fold increase in that risk. "Such tragedies don't occur just because one or more breadwinners have lost their jobs," he says. "High levels of stress arising from job loss are compounded by the level of responsibility that goes along with being a spouse and/or being a parent," Blair says. "So, from the individual's poinl of view, the loss of a job is certainly bad, but it can become much, much worse when it coincides with a loss of savings and investments, the loss of the family borne (through foreclosure, for instance) and dismal c..n.PJtt3 and occupational stressors can negatively impact the quality of family, relationships. "The economic situation also portends a significant increase in other forms of family violence, including spousal and child abuse, child neglecl and other forms of dysfunctional behavior like substance abuse,.. Blair explains. "What makes this situation even worse-and yes, it can get worseis that there is also a clear association between suicide rates and the state of the larger economy.

Brain-injured can relearn emotions BY lOIS BAKER l11e visitor in Barry Willer's office was frustrated and deeply depressed. The man's wife had sustained a relatively mild traumatic brain injury, and he was doing all he could \o support her. But despite his best efforts, the man's wife described him to friends as being "indifferent." He was at his wit's end. Willer; UB professor of psych iatry and a specialist in traumatic brain injury (TBO, listened to this scenario with great interest. He was pilot testing a computerbased diagnostic-and-treatment program he and a graduate student developed for brain-injured adults to help them regain their emotional lives. Willer had \he man's wife take the test, which requires participants to view photos of faces expressing a variety of emotions and then name each emotion. Persons with no brain injury easily can distinguish ~ ~ frightened from "Individuals wlro don't kuow how annoyed, or to recognize anger won 't recogmu disappoinled it ;, themselves atul, ;, };Jet. a m 't from gleeful . produce it." But when a sad, or angry, or surprised face appeared on the screen, the man's wi fe saw only "indifferent." It was eye-opening for the man and his wife , and a rewarding moment for Willer. "His wife didn 't know she wasn't recognizing his emotions," Willer recount s, "and he had no idea what was going on." The psychiatric rehabilitation community confirmed in recent years that as many as 50 percent of TBI patients had lost the ability to interpret and express em otion. In the past, people with TBI who reacted inap- . ' ,.•. ,.,_,. . . . . . . . ..... ' a-··,. ' ' .... propriately, such as joking at a funeral , or didn't react at all, were thought to have behavior problems. This capacity to understand and respond to emotions now is known as affect recognition. Based on his promising pilot-study results, Willer has received a $6oo,ooo grant from the National Institute on Disability and Rehabilitation Research to carry out a three-year controlled trial of his affect recognition training program. It is the first structured intervent ion designed to treat this disability among those with brain injury. Willer's co-primary investigator on the project is Machika Tomita, UB clinical associate professor of rehabilitation sciences. Willer's interest in affect recognition was inspired by an episode of the PBS series '11te Secret Life of the Brain· in which a man watching a horrific scene from ~-,.2 �,, PG 2 UB REPORTER February 12. 2009 Vol. 40 No 19 PROFILE: ANA MARIELLA BACISAI.UI All smiles at dental event BY KEW~ WORKING@UB Wellness day set for March 4 FRYLING ·ntey couldn"t have picked a better name for ..

It was this contact that led to her lifelong interest in the indigenous people of Chile. "Ever since I was a little girl, we would spend all our summers with my grandparents, who lived in southern Argentina near the border between the provinces of Neuque n and Rio Negro," recalls Bacigalupo, who also lived in Peru, Colombia and Chile before finishing high school. "The Mapuche live on !>oth sides of thborder between Chile and Argentina ,M she adds, "and when the (economic] situation in Argentina was better, all the Chilean Mapuche, .. including the families of th e foreman and his brother, Mused to I decided to do research in Chile." Bacigalupo recalls other early experiences with indigenous populations as well, including encounters with"Andean Peruvian Indians her father met through his job as an agronomist involved in rural development. The recipient of bachelor's and master's degrees in history and ethnohistory, respec- ing the family we're visiting when they're to bring water-these are the sort of things that facilitate the healing process." Bacigalupo is writing a fifth book about the role of spirits in the construction of Mapuche memory and historical consciousness-a topic her friends in the Mapuche community urged her to tackle in her next scholarly work. As a community not normally written about, especiaJly in tively, from Universidad Cat61ica de Chile in Santiago, and master's and doctoral degrees in anthropology from UCLA, Bacigalupo is the author"'f four books-one in English and three in Spanish-on the Mapuche people, ~ost of which focus on the traditional practices of the Mapuche shaman. In fact, Bacigalupo says, she has participated in many Mapuche rituals herself, assisting in healing ceremonies and collective fertility rites. "I was told 'You've watched me perform all these times, you know how I work, you know the kind of knowledge I us. and now I want you to help me out,' she says of her introduction to these rituals by a shaman. MThis has involved things like mixing the right herbs in different bowls, rubbing them on a patient at different times , playing sleigh belts. tell- English, she says the Mapuche look to her as someone who can act as a liaison between cultures and comm uni ca~ their experiences to the world. These includ'etheir struggles against deforestation, Whtl:h continues to ravage their homeland; misunderstandings about their shamanic. practice; and Mapuche attempts to recover their territori~s and gain recognition as a nation. "They tell me what they think is really important,M says Bacigalupo, who returns to Chile every year to work with the Mapuche. '"The community really wanted me to write this book because they wanted someone who unde rstands their view of history. They don·t really see the past, present and the future as separate things, but as clearly interrelated," she notes.

Sheehan Health NetwOO: Helping the underserved BY LAUREN NEWKIRK MAYNARD The School of Dental Medicine is reaching patients in an underserved neighborhood of Buffalo, thanks to the ne\. . ly ope ned Family Dental Clinic, an extension clinic of Sheehan Memorial Hospital at425 Michigan Ave. The clinic, a joint project of the den tal school, Sheehan Health Network and Kaleida Health System, obtained its li- cense from the state health department in April opened in September. The dental school led the effort to have the City of Buffalo and the area surrounding the clinic designated as an l. '"' urd '. A '08 What would you say?

The designation gUres the clinic more credibility in obtaining federal and other grant money to help reach its target audience: the underserved, Medicaidonly patient population on Buffalo's East Side, where there are few options for quality dental and oral care. "A scary thought is that only about 20 percent of children covered by Medicaid are being seen by dentists," says Paul Creighton, assistant dean for community affairs in the dental schooL "This clinic is an amazing opportunity for Buffalo, and the public response has been very strong." "This is an example of creating ac- cess where there was none, or very little, and creating a unique community partnership between the school, Kaleida and a local hospital," adds James Harris, assistant dean. The facility's clinical staff is made up entirely of UB faculty-many of whom are community dentists. The goal is to provide quality oral health care that complements a patient's overall health care plan. "From extractions ;..a prosthetics, we provide cradle:-tp-grave services that take into account a patient's systemic health ," Creighton says. The state-of-the-art facility boasts a modem , paperless office and provides comprehensive dental services-complex corrections as well as preventive biyearly cleanings and checkups-tailored to children. adults, seniors and specialneeds patients. Sheehan obtained approx_i mately $1 million, split between a HEAL-NY grant and a major grant from the John R. Oishei Foundation, to fund capital renovations of the facihty and to purchase equipment. The hospital leases the facility to Kaleida, which contracts services to UB pediatric dentists at Women and Children's Hospital of Buffalo and other UB dentists providing adult care. �P6 4 US REPORTER Fe bruary 12 . 2009 " Vol. 40 No . 19 FLASHBACK Let it snow! Sixty-one years ago, UB students launched a celebrstion of Buffalo's winter weather by organizing a Wurter Carnival. This event made its first appearance on campus in Feb- 61 AYEARS G ruary 1948, and continued annually into the 196os, providing plenty of cold-weather fun for UB students and faculty. Winter Carnival activities included ice skating behind the Tower dorm (now Kimball Tower on the South Campus), a ski fashion show, a jazz concert, and a King and Queen of Winter contest. A beard-growing contest awarded prizes for the longest beard and the most "original set of whiskers." Cross country skiing events featured "car skiing• with students on skis being towed by a car around the UB campus. Each Wmter Carnival also featured a Snow Ball dance and a snow sculpture contest opeo to fraternities, sororities, and other campus organ;..;tions. In 1955, the tbeme of the snow sculpture event was a recreation of Sun Val~ ley, and entries included a covered bridge and a swimming pool complete with blue water (frozen, of course) and a female swimmer in a bathing suiL The winning snow sculpture in 196o, as seen in this photogrspb, was titled "La Mer" and was created by members ofTheta Chi.

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.

Now, a UB engineer has led the development of "SnowMan," a user-friend ly, desktop software package that puts cost-effective solutions to the snowdrift problem at the fingertips of highway designers and road maintenance personnel. "SnowMan" helps transportation engineers design roadways that are less likely to be plagued by snowdrifts; it also allows maintenance personnel to more precisely situate snow fences in order toreduce drifting on existing roadways. Stuart Chen (pictured aboue), professor of civil, structural and environmental engineering1 de signed "SnowMan" with former UB graduate student Michael Lamanna. Chen unveiled the software at the recent annual conference of the National Academy of Sciences' Transportation Research Board in Washington, D.C. Chen and Lamanna developed "'SnowMan" with assistance from Darrell Kaminski, regional design engineer for the Western New York region of the New York State Department of Transportation (NYSDOT), and Ronald Tabler of Tabler and Associates, Niwot, Colo. Funded, designed and implemented for the NYSDOT, the computeraided design software is completely adaptable to wherever blowing and drifting snow is a problem. "The NYSDOT believes that the SnowMan software will significantly advance the implementation of passive snow-control measures, both within New York State and nationwide," said Joseph F. Doherty, senior civil engineer, operations division, NYSDOT, Albany.

An estimated 150,000 U.S. veterans have been diagnosed with TBI , based on statistics gathered by the Veterans Administration's (VA) Quality Enhancement Research Initiative. While the numbers are relatively easy to assemble, the long-term cognitive and affective consequences ofTBJ and the effect on veterans' quality of life are not we11 understood, according to the VA, and evidence-based guidelines for diagnosis and treatment are limited. To be prepa red to meet the needs of these veterans over time, the VA:s Health Services Research and Development Unit is funding a $1.4 million, four-year prospective cohort study VA medical centers in Albany, Syracuse, Bath and Canandaigua/ Rochester also will participate in the study. Kerry T.

James Donne11y. UB clinical associate professor of counseling, school and educational psychology, is co-investigator. "This project began here at the Buffalo VA in June 2008," said Kerry Donnelly.

"Nonetheless, war-related TBI is a serious a nd potentially costly health concern within the VA, and the interplay ofTBI and cognitive and affective symptoms in Iraq War veterans over time has not been adequately explored. "Further, symptoms s imilar to those associated with TBI may develop from combat experience alone. We're interes ted in studying returning veterans, both with and without TBI , looking at a broader trauma complex." The study will construct clinical profiles of soo veterans returning from Iraq a nd Afghanistan . Profiles will cover cognitive fun ctioning, psychological symptoms, subs tance use, TBI s tatus and combat and demographic characteristics, and wilt examine health care use among those with different diagnoses, quality of life and community participation.

According to Chen, snow fences serve as a physical means of .. interrupting" the blowing and drifting of snow. "Wind carries particles of snow along just the way that a river will carry silt and mud; he explained. "Snow fences introduce turbulence that causes the wind to deposit some of the snow particles it has been carrying onto the ground behind the snow fence, leaving the roadway clear.· But deciding how to configure and place those snow fences is not an exact science, Chen said. "Snow fences are typically erected according to general knowledge about an area where blowing and drifting occurs,'" sa_id Kaminski, Chen's co-author on the SnowMan research paper and an alumnus of the UB School of Engineering and Applied Sciences. These fences are typically a standard height and are placed a certain number of feet from a roadway, he added. A more precise approach would require maintenance personnel to obtain climate data for an area to determine how much snow a nd wind that area experiences in a season and then run a series of calculations to determine the best height and placement for a fence in that location. The big advantage of SnowMan, Chen explained, is that it provides all these capabilities automatically, whether the goal is to mitigate a specific blowing and drifting problem, or to design a new roadway for that purpose.

While it's not uncommon for scholars to devote themselves to the work of a single great thinker, few get the chance to meet their intellectual idol in the flesh-let alone learn at his or her feet while still a student. But for Richard Cohen, who joined UB last semester as the first director of the new UB Institute for Jewish Thought and Heritage, his career as a leading expert on the philosopher Emmanuel Levinas was forged during a year spent at the Sorbonne in Paris, studying under the influential Jewish intellectual who died in 1995. "Levinas is considered now one of the leading philosophers of Europe of the 20th century," says Cohen, who's also a professor in the Department of Philosoph~l­ lege of Arts and Sciences (CAS), and writing a three-part series of books on Levinas. "What made his thoughts special was that he made ethics the center of his philosophy." While pursuing master's and doctoral degrees in philosophy at Stony Brook University, Cohenwho first discovered Levinas as an undergraduate studying philosophy and political science at Penn Statesays it suddenly struck him "like a lightnr.;"g bolt" that the man at the center of his research was still .. alive and well and teaching in France." "1just said, I'm taking a leave of absence, goodbye, and went to Paris," he recalls. " It was an incredible experience. He [Levinas] was very hospitable, gracious, unpretentiousa person who lived his philosophy; down to earth, but also a genius." After returning to the United States to complete his doctoral dissertation-all the while working a day job as a· safety trainer at a steel mill in Indiana-Cohen jokes that he accepted ·a huge pay cut• in taking his first teachin!Job as an assistant professor at Penn State. He later served as a visiting professor at universities in Te1 Aviv, Jerusalem and Rome; five years as Aaron Aronov Chair of Judaic Studies at the University of Alabama-" It was like another universe," recalls Cohen, a native of Staten Islandand 14 years as the Isaac Swift Distinguished Professor of Judaic Studies at the University of North Carolina-Charlotte. His rising reputation led to an invitation to interview at UB for a position that he says he simply couldn't refuse. .. It's very ambitious," Cohen says of the project that he has been hired to spearhead. " lnstea~ of just hiring one professor of Judaic s tudies, as part of President Simpson's UB 2020 plan, h e wants to go gangbusters. He's going to create a Ph.D. program, an institute, a department-and that will put UB Judaic studies on the map. Steps are being taken to establish a bachelor's degree program in Judaic studies by spring 2010, he says, and master's and doctoral programs are planned for the near future. UB has committed to hire four more new faculty members in the next four to five years to support the burgeoning program, he says. Although the core mission of the program is academic, Cohen points out that a number of llrojects being planned also will appeal to the local community, including a lectureship series sponsored by UB alumnus and CNN host Wolf Blitzer, whose first speaker has yet to be chosen; an exhibition of Holocaust photographs in April; and a collaborative proj..Wh the Jewish Archives of Greater Buffalo in May.

Capen Professor of Poetics in the Department of English, was named Poet Lau reate of New York State. The official title of the position is the New York State Walt Whit man Citation of Merit for poets. Creeley was only the second poet to be named to the prestigious position, which was established in 1985. During his two-year term, Creeley earned an honorarium of $ 10,000 t Q promote and encourage poetry within I he state. Du ring that time, he published a number of works, including "Selected Poems" (1991). A founder of the Black Mou ntain school of poetry and editor of the Black Moun tain Reuiew, Creeley is considered one of the most influential modern 20 _ American poets. He was a member of the UB faculty from 1966 to 2003, and was key to the rise of the Department of English to prominence during the 196os and 1970s.

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.

Wellness and Woritll1fe Balance unn m UnJVerjlty Human Re-,ou1ces Speaking same 'language' BY llll N GOLDBAUM To tackle an increasing global infectious-disease burden and rising rates of drug-resistant infec- tions, UB philosophers are worki ng with medical researchers to develop the first-ever infectious disease ontology. Ontology is the science of how things are classified and the relationships between them. When researcheri in biology and medicine use ontology classifications, they are able to speak the same "language." By allowing geneticists, scientists and clinicians to easily share and compare many different types of data about pathogens, patients and disease processes, the ontology being developed by UB philosophers and their colleagues will expedite the development of new methods of diagnosis and treatment. "Currently, the infectious disease data being collected by hospitals and research centers lack a common framework to enable integration and comparison of results," explains Barry Smith, SUNY Distinguished Professor, Julian Park Professor of Philosophy and a pioneer of biomedical ontology. "The Infectious Disease Ontology, which is being developed by ontology experts at UB and startup firms in Buffalo, together wit h immunologists and infectious disease researchers throughout the world, will provide that common framework." According to Smith, the need for an infectious disease ontology has become more imperative as the incidence of infectious diseases has increased, treatment has become more difficult and researchers have responded by generating more data in the search for better ways to diagnose and treat them. Now, with a $1.25 million research grant from the National Institute of Allergies and Infectious Diseases, and $70,000 in pilot funding from the Burroughs-Wellcome Fund, Smith and Lindsay Cowell of the Duke University Medical Center have initiated the Infectious Disease Ontology (100). They will test the 100 using data from Staphylococcus aureus (S.a.), one of the most common and potentially deadly human infections in the U.S. and Western Europe.

I Helping others deal with financial crisis BY PATRICIA DONOVAN People who lose a job or are in the midst of a financial crisis Often are reluctant to talk about their struggles and may isolate themselves from friends and family. "In the U.S., talking about personal financial matters is taboo. Facing a financial crisis often adds layers of shame and guilt," explains Denise Krause, clinical associate professor and associate dean for ~ommuni t y engagement in the School of Social Work. '" Many of us who know these people are unsu re how to reach out to them,· Krause says. For anyone interested in reaching out to friends and family members who are dealing with financial crisis, Krause offers these tips: • Make yourself available to listen and give support. "Sometimes people just need to talk out their feelings of grief, fear, resentment, anxiety, depression, failure, loss, to name a few," she says. • Listen without making a judgment. giving advice or offering sympathy. Instead, validate the other's feelings; acknowledge how difficuh the situation is fur them and listen with empathy. • Ask them what would be helpful coming from you . • Agree to help in ways that are realistic fur you. • Avoid sharing information about your friend or family member's situation with others unless they give you permission. • Sometimes facing a financial crisis creates angry and frustrated feelings. E.'CpOCI these feelings to surface and avoid taking them personally. • Include these family members and friends in gatherings, plans and typical activities. Accept that they may decline your offers. • When possible, offer reassurance that you will stick by them through the crisis. • When you feel that friends and family are in "over their beads," let them know this and suggest they may benefit from professional help.

The IRDF is one of several programs created by Jorge V. Jose, vice president for research, to etlcourage and enable increased research and scholarly activity among university faculty and staff. The goal of the IRDF is to encourage collaboration among faculty across disciplines for new research projects that ultimately will attract external grant support. Proposals must be within the areas of strategic strength identified by the UB 2020 strategic planning process.

Adds Frier: "We also had found that although people want to volunteer, in some cases they did not know how and where they could do so. By providing specific information about specific opportunities, we are fulfilling that need ." More than 100 UB employees have signed up to participate in US CORE, Frier says. She and Bowen note that UB CORE is an important part of the university's ongoing Great Place to Work initiative. '"The work culture in a great place to work is built on trust, pride and camaraderie," Bowen explains ...Giving our faculty and staff meaningful volunteer opportunities and the chance to do something good for the commu nity alongside their co-workers is a great way to promote pride and camaraderie. Joining UB CORE lets employees con nect with each other while making a difference in our surrounding commun ities."

Frier agrees, noting that in addition to making a meaningful impact in the community, the opportunities provided by UB CORE offer employees ·another way to get out of the office, meet each other and perhaps develop relationships with people with the same interests." She points out that many of the companies and organizations that are cited as being "great places to work" have a strong volunteer component that serves to boost morale and improve retention. Representatives of the nonprofit organizations working with UB CORE are thrilled to be partner· ing with the university. Kerri Bentkowski, citizen action coordinator for Buffalo Niagara Riverkeeper, says its partnership with UB CORE formalizes a longtime association between the orga nization and UB. '"US is an important community stakeholder, a critical partner," Bentkowski says, adding that many faculty, staff and students take part every year in the organization's shoreline sweep. Peggy Johnson, director of volunteers for the Buffalo City Mission aod Cornerstone Manor, says the mission's partnership with UB CORE helps the organization provide more services to its clients. •we're donation· baseid; we can only provide so many services. We rely heavily on volunteers; she says, adding the mission is "blessed" to be partnering with UB. UB CORE is organizing several large events during the spring and summer. Volunteers are needed for the Spring Shoreline Sweep with Buffalo Niagara Riverkeeper on April 18, to staff the kitchen of the Friends of the Night People on April 30, for Brush-Up Buffalo on June 20 and for the Ride for Roswell on June 27. .... �PG 4 UB REPOR'IB!

Claude E. Puffer, then vice chancellor for business affairs, explained lbat the number of student cars was increasing faster than the university could afford to build more parking Jots. He hoped the fee would encourage carpooling and use of public transportation. Automatic gates were installed at lot entrances; however, to avoid traffic jams on main arteries, students deposited their dimes in the gates in order to leave, rather than enter, the parking lots. Faculty mem bers were exempt from the parking fee and received keys to open the gate in a selected ·lot. By January 1958, the administration threatened to increase the fee to 15 cents due to the "disappearance of gate arms." On Jan. 10, Puffer announced that "all17 campus parking gates were smashed early Wednesday morning." Students quickly banded together for "gate-pooling," recognizing that at least two cars could exit each time a gate rose. Winter brought aoother problem: Gates frequently were disabled when snow got into the coin box slots. Students who had to use more than one dime to exit a lot could report to the Bursar's Office and be "reimbursed immediately .. with "no questions asked." Py March, students could purchase parking permits for A G0 42YEARS $12.50. - J udith Adams-Volpe, University Libraries provide free tax· preparation services to individuals and families with annual incomes be· low $42,000. Members of the UB community and area residents are e!lCOUI3ged to take advantage of this opportunity, wbicb will be beld on both ta.Nortb and South campuses. The IRS estimates that using such free services can save taxpayers between $100 and $300 in preparation fees. Free tax preparation will be offered from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. on a first-come, first-served basis in 109 Allen Hall, South Campus, on Feb. 7, 8, 14, 15, 21, 22, 28 and March 1, and in 1o6 Jacobs Management Center, Nortb Campus, on March 21, 22, 28, 29 and Apri14 , 5, 11 and 12.

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 would empower UB to pUrsue growth strategies commonly used by other large research universities nationwide. Schimmioger compared UB's current situation to '"Gulliver's Travels," a book he recalled from high school. "The University at Buffalo is, in a way, an academic Gulliver that is tied down by Lilliputian constraints, restrictions and bureaucratic regulations," be said. "It is the mission of this legislation to unleash the university so that it can be all that it can be and bring good and economic growth to our region ." Stachowski noted that UB bas developed a program that he felt makes it more "sellable" to the legislature. "The points make common sense to common-sense people," he said. "The most imporhmt part about this is An enthusiastic crowd of more than 200 UB supporters attended a rally Friday morning in the UB Downtown Gateway, cheering the announcement of legislation that will be introduced in the New York State Senate and Assembly to help the university achieve the objec- .. tives of UB 2020. A contingent of Western New York lawmakers were on hand to lend their unified support of Bill No. 2020 , the UB 2020 Flexibility and Economic Growth Act, proposing changes in state Jaw to give UB the finan ~ flexibility needed to achieve its strategic plan. The bill is sponsored by the Western New York state delegation and will be introduced by its senior members, Assemblyman Robin Schimminger and Senator William T. Stachowski. "Four months ago, I said for UB 2020 to succeed, New York must change a battery of outdated and unnecessary rules and regulations that hold us and our community back; said President John B. Simpson, referring to his address to the community on Sept. 23. "The Western New York delegation has shown tremeodous leadership by taking on this challenge and they now have a specific legislative solution. The delegation is taking this proposal down the 90 to Albany and telling them to give Ull the tools it needs to be the catalyst for Western New York."

Among the installations ~re "Masque," featuring glowing human beads of ice, and " lee Fracture," in which ice cones light up as passersby trigger motion sensors. There also are Anchorage, Alaska, is a long way from Buffalo, N.Y. But a connection to Anchorage's art museum has led to Brian Carter, dean of the School of Architecture and Planning, taking on an organizational role in Freeze, Anchorage's celebration of life in the Arctic that includes a series of outdoor installations by artists, architects and designers. Carter worked to put together the teams of established and emergi ng architects and artists that created the installations, as well as chai red a public presentation of the installations that drew an audience of more than 200. He says his involvement with Freeze actually began five or six years ago when he was a member of a panel that selected worldrenowned architect David Chipperfield to design a major expansion of D EXCLUSIVElY t'l t " ''e I •<ll""'te• t'' •t•. 1<,. o ' '' I ' ) j " I, ~ o l" ,c•', I • h ' t \ ~·~· •· • ' '"' I • that we all support it in the Western New York delegation.

This Includes building a workplact that promotes trust. fairness, ~pte!. pride and camaraderie. For almost two years, the campus community has been engaged In a movement to build this kind of environment here at UB. What progrtss has betn madel Our campus leaders have embraced the concept of creating a great workplace. A steering committee has been helping to guide this ef· fort Our HR team has met with many groups across the campuses to talk about Improving th~k lives of faculty and staff, and, more importantly, to listen to what our employees have to say. After talking to and hearing from more than 2,500 employees, we've created new programs and services. among them a well ness program, a training and development function, an expanded Employee Assistance Program, a neW work/life balance unit and an employee volunteer program (UB CORE). We also plan to develop a more flexible work environment and a new focus on employee recognition aimed at promoting a culture of appreciation. We're also organizing events and activities that bring people together to promote greater communication and have fun, such as the Campus Conversation and the Backyard Bash!UB idol. Last spring, we were named a finalist in the Business First Best Places to Work in Western New York competition. We also participated in the first-ever Great Colleges to Work For assessment by The Chronide of Higher Education, and were dted as a top five university nationally in eight categories. WharsntXtl Although we're pleased with our efforts so far, we need to focus on the work environ· ment at the departmentaVdivislonal level. We're developing customized programs to help improve the work culture in Individual areas on campus and work with departments to develop strategies to help create great working environments. We'll be piloting this next phase this spring. We also are participating in the Business First Best Places to Work in Western New York 2009 contest; employees randomly selected to participate in the survey are being notified. I encourage those selected to complete the survey, as the feedback is invaluable to our efforts to make UB a great workplace. UB REPORTER Welcome to UB Child Care Center BY JIM BISCO An infectious spirit. A can-<lo atti· tude. An unwavering positivity. Patti Brocato embodies those traits every day as sbe greets the children and parents at the UB Olild Care Center on the South Campus. 'The center, with its North Campus counterpart, attends to the children of UB faculty, staff and students. Brocato bas been a mainstay in the front office of Butler Annex A for nearly 20 years, dispensing her enthusiasm and charm as receptionist and unofficial teacher. "I work with the children, main· ly the preschoolers, in the play area or reading a book." she relates. "I , talk to them , let them know that I'm not just a person who sits here and answers the phone in the front office. I like to take part in their everyday experiences." Some chil~ ask her about the quad cane or Wheelchair that she uses. She matter-of-factly explains a nd they nnd and go about their activities. She was like them as a youth , inquisitive and spirited , until her world changed just before her 13th birthday-when doctors discovered a benign brain tumor. Surgery left her paralyzed on her right side, with nerte deafness in her left ear and doubie vision when moving her left eye. She could barely walk, talk or hold her head up. Brocato credits her family for the support to overcome such huge ob- stacles. When doctors gave the young girl less than a 20 percent chance of recovery, her mother was determined to defy those ndds. She went outside the normal medical route with her daughter and tried acupuncture, and chiropractic and phyi;ical therapy. Mostly, though, her motlier instilled a conquering spirit in Patti that continues strongly to this day. "I encourage people to keep on trying and never give up," says Brocato. "I heat the odds of making it off the operating table and proved that I would not remain a living vegetable in a wheelchair." Her determination soon got her back to middle school and then through high school at Kenmore East. She arrived at Ulloin 1974, worldng in the dean's office in the former School of Health Related Professions. Brocato continued her education, graduating with a B.A. in English from UB in 1989. Describing herself as a voracious reader, she is pursuing her master's degree in education to become a certified teacher. Her career at the child care center ~n with a suggestion from FacUiy Student Association employee~ Steve Cleary, whom she met by chance in Goodyear Hall. .. He was delivering lunches here and he was telling me how great it was to work here with all the children, so I sent in my resum e,~ she recalls. Her relationship with Cleary and her position at the center both lovingly endure. Brocato has seen generations come through the annex doors. "Diversity is the key," she says of the youthful population. "I love children. I look forward to coming to work all the time ." 'Trayless' dining may cut food waste in half BV ELLEN GOLDBAUM Students in three dining centers on the North Campus are carrying individual plates- not trays - to their tables as part ofUB's effort to go "trayless." Red Jacket, Governors and Richmond dining centers join Goodyear Dining Center on the South Campus in the initiative des igned to cut food waste. "We anticipate saving nearly 4B,ooo pounds of food waste this semester by going trayless in the three dining centers," says Jeff Brady, interim executive director for campus Dining & Shops (CDS). CDS piloted the trayless effort in Goodyear at the start of the fall semester with very positive results. The trayless dining format, which has been growing in popularity on campuses across the country, can help reduce food waste and consumption of water and energy, Brady says. He notes that many schools credit the e nergy and water savings to the fact that without trays, students have to think more carefully hefore selecting their meals, resulting in less food waste. A5 a result of the reduced food waste, less water and energy and fewer chemicals are used cleaning trays and plates, and processing uneaten food . Over the course of a year, these savings can help a school significantly reduce its impact on the environment, Brady explains. ln a recent study conducted in Red Jacket, approximately 83 percent of students supported going to trayless dining. The sa me study at Richmond a nd Governors produced s imilar results. .. During two separate Weigh the Waste events conducted at Goodyear and Red Jacket dining centers in the fall, we saw approximately so percent less food waste in Goodyear where they were not using trays," says Brady. .. Through initiatives such as recycling, organic composting, biod.egradab)e packaging, energy management and sustai nable food programs, we are working to instill sustainability principles here at UB and within the Western New York community. Our stude nts understand the importance of energy and resource conservation. This step, while simple, will have a significant positive impact on the campus."

Assemblyman Sam Hoyt said he intro- duced Assembly legislation for a rational tuition policy two years ago. •1 am confident that this year we are going to get that done." Assemblywoman Crystal Peoples said she hoped that changes in the law will not only help advance UB 2020, but also will help the community-particularly the "peo· ple who live across the street" in the Fruit Belt and other low-income neighborhoods. Sen. Dale Volker felt that the rally would send shivers in Albany. "They call Buffalo and Western New York Beirut by the Lake because we've had a bad tendency here to be divided ," he said, indicating that the community solidarity on this issue would make a big impact on lawmakers. Also speaking were Assembly members Francine DelMonte, Jane Corwin, Jack Quinn and Mark Schroeder. Student rep· resentatives Peter Grollitssch and Robert Pape, as well as outgoing and incoming par- ent chairs Tim Lafferty and Jeneane Reedy, applauded the reform effort. Dennis Mullen, upstate chair of the Em- pire State Development Corp. and the father of a current UB student, hailed the assets "It was very emotional" said Lacey Duell a student in the Graduall!

FLASHBACK Inaugural train stops in Buffalo This year marks the bicentennial of Abraham Lincoln's birth and the 148th a nniversary of his first inauguration . Not unlike the current curiosity about a new president and his family, in the weeks leading up to the March 4 , 1861, inauguration, the country wa s eager for news about the Lincolns. Large crowds greeted Lincoln and his family as they t raveled by train from Springfield, Ill .. to Washington for the inauguration. The scene in Buffalo wa s no exception when they arrived on the afternoon of Feb. 16. The reception wa s "so tumu ltuously enthusiastic and ill controlled that he [Lincoln] and his party were nearly crushed," reported the press. Lincoln, who was photographed a week eaflier on his 52nd birthday, addressed the crowd from the balcony of the Americana Hotel at Main and Eagle streets, where he was joined by Buffalo's fi rst citizen, Millard Fill more-U B chancellor and former U.S. president. Fillmore entertai ned the Lincolns in his home on Niagara Square. The two men attended a reception and services the following day at the First Unitarian Church. Wh ile staying at the Americana Hotel, it is believed that Lincoln joined sons Willie and Tad , and young Edward The "Musical Feast" program will include performances of Foss' "Renaissance Concerto for Flute" (1985), "Solo" (1982) and "Time Cycle" (196o), and Nils VIgeland's "3 1/3 Dances" (2005).

Admission is $7 for the general public and $4 for student;s ages 6-18 and seniors; Buffalo State College students, faculty and staff will be admitted free. Gifted Math Program seeks nominations The Gifted Math Program is looking for outstanding sixth-grade math- ematics students for its fall 2009 entering class. Nominations from school officials and parents for the nationally recognized program will be accepted until Monday. The program, administered by the Department of Learning and Instruction, Graduate School of Education, offers advanced mathematics courses that replace mathematics classes in students' home schools and are designed to challenge students who are proven high achievers. Students enter the program as seventh graders and continue their studies throughout their high school years. informational meetings for the families of nominated students and others interested in the program will be held in February.

I Freeze Michael, the son of the hotel's owner, in a game of leapfrog. Michael, who lived to the age of 101 and repeated this story often. served on the UB Council for more than so years and is credited with originating the idea to purchase the site for what is now US's South Campus. Michael Hall is named fo r him. - J ohn Ed e n s. University Archives project " that attracted participants from such countries as Iceland, Europe and Canada. He notes that Anchorage earlier this month was in the throes of its coldest snap of weather in many years, yet people were out building the installations and hundreds of vis itors attended the Jan. 10 opening. "To get that many people out to see art installed in January in Alaska seems pretty significant ," he says. Julie Decker, project director for Freeze and a trustee of the Alaska Design Forum, another Freeze sponsor, says she l.'Onceived of the idea for Freeze after taking a trip to Scandinavia, "where it really struck me how people there celebrate their northernness. I wanted to find some way to celebrate what is unique about Alaska and to have it occur at a time when winter, darkness and cold were at their peak-so we could play with our resistance to those things," she says. Any lessons for Buffalo and Western New York? "I think that there are lots ofles- sons,"' Carter says, "lessons about the siting of buildings, lessons about the potential of materials and lessons about the value of good design. The hum.lCl heads of tee gkM< on event was tall polts. also a super celebration of design and a demonstration of the impact of good public art programs on perceptions of a city." Decker says there are plans for a book about Freeze that would include photographs, information about the participating artists and firms, and essays. Carter would be a contributor, she adds.

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.

Three teams from the Mid-American Conference are slated to make bowl appearances- the Bulls by virtue of being champions in the MAC's East Division . The Bulls will play in the Marathon MAC Championship Game at 8 p.m. tomorrow at Ford Field in Detroit. The game wi ll be televised on ESPN2. Their opponent-Ball State University, ranked 12th in the nation and the West Division titleholder-also is guaranteed a bowl appearance. The third slot likely will be filled by either Western Micbigan or Central Michigan, both from the MAC's West Division. The MAC, which will cboose the bowl assignments, plans to make them public this weekend in conjunction with the announcement of other bowl matcbups. The options are: o Motor City Bowl, 8 p.m. Dec. 26 in Ford Field, Detroit, to be broadcast on ESPN2. The opponent would be from the Big Ten.

That placement would put .the Bulls' historic bowl game \\'ithin a short drive of Buffalo and could draw thousands of Bulls and football fans from Western New York. Adding to the appeal will be tickets projected to cost in the $30-$45 range and the fact that the Buffalo Bills this Sunday will take on the Miami Dolphins in the same venue in the team's first regular-season game in Toronto. A large turnout of Bulls fans also would help boost the visibility of the International Bowl, which will be played only for the third time in January. ~.,., .... ---:!'

Might they ha"" their own tale to tell?" That led her to Chang and Eng Bunker, "the original Siamese TWins," who were brought to the United States as indentured servants by a British merchant in 1829. The brothers continue to fascinate more than 130 years after their death , she says, not only because of their unusual physical characteristics, hut also their unique place in American culture. From humble origins in a traveling freak show, Chang and Eng went on to manage their own careers, purchase a Southern tobacco plantation, own slaves, marry two traditional "Southern belles" and have sons who fought for the Confederacy during the Civil War. "My project looks at the ways in which Chang and Eng get portrayed in American arts and culture," says Wu. "What I'm finding is that there's a remarkable level of consistency with which these famous figures are cast as metaphors for nation and citizenship at key moments in American history, especially when national unity isrnost threatened." For example, she says Mark Twain placed Chang and Eng in "Personal Habits of the Siamese '!Wins; a humorous tale in which the twins are portrayed as representing the former Union and Confederate states. The prominent 19th-century political cartoonist Thomas Nast also used the image of conjoined twins-one a factory owner, one a worker-to argue against ~ n organization, as each requires the other for survival. The duo turns up in modern works as well, including "Dead Ringers," a film by David Cronenberg, and "God's Fool," a navel by Mark Slouka. .. The twin's racial difference, and also their anatomical difference, gets mobilized again and again in these narratives of national unity and progress," says Wu , noting that the "central question• of being part of the United States is how to balance the rights of the individuals with the need to act as a group. Although hired as a specialist in Asian American studies, Wu says her approach to the field examines the ways in which the histories of racial and ethnic groups are intertwined. For instance, she notes that the first Asian immigrants in the U.S. were brought to the country as cheap labor to under mine the organizing efforts of irish immigrants.The recipient of master's and doctoral degrees from the University of Michigan-Ann Arbor-as well as a bachelor's degree from Bryn Mawr College-Wu says s he came to UB for the chance to pursue more resea rch and m entor graduate s tudents.

The Bulls play in the Mid-American Conference championship game tomorrow, and for the first time in so years, there are bowl invitations to consider. In 1958, UB won eight games and defeated thenpowerhouses Columbia and Harvard, making UB the top small college football program in the East and winner of the Lambert Cup. The Lambert Cup was awarded in New York City on Dec. 14 , 1958. The team's co-captains, Nick Bottini and Lou Reale, accepted the cup, with Chancellor Clifford C. Furnas, athletic director Jim Peele, coach Dick Offen hamer and members of the Lambert family looking on. There was a dinner at Toots Shor's and an appearance on the popu lar Sunday night television program "The Ed Sullivan Show." With the Lambert Cup and an invitation to play Florida State in the Tangerine Bowl in Orlando, it was arguably US's best season in 102 years of football . What happfned next also made it one of the university's finest hours. When the university was informed that the team's two African-American players, Willie Evans and Mike plies will be provided. To reserve a space, call 829-3754. YEARS A G0 Wilson, would not be welcome in Orlando, the team unanimously rejected the bowl invitation. "Those of us who thrilled to their performances recognize them as fine football players, gentlemen and worthy representatives of the university," Furnas said. "We have never been concerned with the color of their skins, nor do we think that should be made a point of issue by anyone else." - John Edens, University Archives Adding to the lure of the Bulls' first bowl appearance is the fact that so years ago this football season, the UB Bulls were offered their first post-season bowl bid, which the team of 1958 declined after winning the Lambert Cup as the top-rated small school in the East. Team members declined the bid after being told two African-American players couldn't go because it would violate a rule of the host Orlando, Fla., school district prohibiting blacks and whites from playing together. .. We are delighted to be in the position of playing ln a bowl game and bringing that experience to UB fans, alumni and the Western New York community," said Director of Athletics Warde Manuel. "It is particularly fitting that it occurs on the soth anniversary of one of the proudest moments in UB athletics, the 1958 football team having a tremendous season and then displaying even greater courage by turning down the bowl bid under the circumstances."

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 draft of the comprehensive physical plan, which ----- -------·---- gives each campus a new identity and purpose, was presented and exhibited at a daylong public forum held _. in Ha rriman Hall, South Campus . .. We know that great universities live on great campuses," President John B. Simpson said. •As this .._ draft plan demonstrates, US's campuses can be great places-campuses that are more accessible, more supportive of inte11ectual endeavor, more sociable, more sustainable and more beautiful." The draft plan assigns each UB campus a new and distinct identity: • The North Campus is envisioned as the "academic heart" of the university, home to the College of Arts and Sciences, the core of the UB undergraduate experience, and the School of Engineering and Applied Sciences. • The South Campus will become the center of professional education in law, executive education, social work and architecture and planning. It will preserve classic quadrangles and historic structures, and be bet· ter integrated with nearby neighborhoods. • A new Downtown Campus will bring to down- town Buffalo the five schools in UB's Academic Health Center-Medicine and Biomedical Sciences, Nursing, Public Health and Health Professions, Dental Medicine and Pharmacy and Phannaceutical Sciences. Their downtown presence will promote research, clinical and educational collaboration with the region's leading hospitals and the Buffalo Niagara Medical Campus. The plan addresses transportation-the ways in which people will get to the UB campuses, bow they will travel between them and where they wi1J park when they arrive-and defines strategies for limiting UB's energy use, reducing the university's carbon footprint and promoting sustainable practices. And it details a vision for creating public spaces that promote the social and intellectual life of the university, producing a "learning landscape" that supports the ways students learn today.

As director of business development at the UB Center for Advanced Biomedical aod Bioengineering Technology at UB's New York State Center of Excellence in Bioinformatics and Life Sciences, she is responsible for creating new partnerships among academia, industry and government that benefit Buffalo Niagara . She admits she's never taken a business course in her life, so it's no surprise that LaVigne took a nontraditional route to her current position at UB. She attended the University at Rochester initially as a premed major, but found psychology more to her liking.

Obama's'goodwi/1, rale as father good for U.S. BY PATRICIA DONOVAN A UB political scientist and her colleague in the Department of Sociology say that Barak Obama's extraord inarily strong approval ratings abroad, as well as his role _JS the father of young children, shou ld bode well for U.S. foreign policy and the nation's image, both at home and abroad. Michelle Be nson , assistant professor of political science, says the high opinion in which the overseas public holds Obama "bodes very well for his ability to alter the outcome in issues of international concern to the United States, including the Is raeli- Palestinian con fli ct a nd international cooperation in Afgha ni s tan ." Benson notes th at Obama's populari ty Mwill not make political adversaries turn into staunch a llies; however. it will likely alter the ability of th e U.S. to influence and alte r confli cts a round the globe." "For exam ple, it was relatively easy for world leaders to reject proposals by President Bush due to his high level of unpopularity among the populations of relevant countries," she says. "Those same leaders will now face important pressure from their constitue ncies to consider a nd likely support proposals from this new president. "' ln essence," Benson says, "President-elect Obama has a historic amount of international goodwill and therefore an important but limited opportunity to further U.S. interests and submit proposals th at might have been me t with immedi· ate dismissal during the last eight years under George Bush." That goodwill, adds Sampson Lee Blair, associate professor of sociology, should be e nha nced by Obama's role as a father. "I would certainly txpect to see Obam<J looking at the country, and the rest ofthe world. through the/ens offa therhood.· Sompson l.!t Blair.pnftssor ~ sociciDgy .. People te nd to perceive a par· ent. especially a parent of young children. as kind , nurturing, protective and possessed of a beneficent nature-one lhat is pleasant and concerned about the well-being of others," says Blair. "Obama will not on ly be a young president, but a you ng father, and it will be assumed th at his domestic a nd foreign policies will be colored by the effects they will have on his daughters." Blair says most of us presume that parents are keenly aware of their substantial influence on their sons and daughters as guides, dis· ciplinaria ns and role models. Given our understanding of thi s, the fact that he has young children may have sent more than a few votes Obama's way, Blair says. "Most parents want to be able to help thei r child ren to have a better life than they had. Although virtu ally every parent aspires to give this to their children," he says, .. President Obama will be in a unique position to give these to not only his daughters, but to tht> entire generation of children.

Bland, the consultant leading development of the plan, solicited feedback from attendees via question-and-answer sessions and through the use of audience response system technology, or "clickers." Among the approximately 130 respondents attending the first presentation yesterday morning, 81 percent said the creation of a rapid transit system connecting UB's three campuses should be a "high priority." Sixty-one percent called well-planned roads on the North and South campuses, including pathways for bicycles and pedestrians, "very important," and 58 percent said the same about creating high-quality buildings, landscapes and "public realms."

A cash bar will be open from 5-6:30 p.m., with a buffet dinner and presentation following from 6:15 -8 p.m. Those wishing to attend should make a reservation no later than part of the physical plan. Only 19 percent said the plan achieved excellent "seamless integration" of the three campuses, however, with 28 percent calling the plan "good" and 31 percent "OK." Among the dissenting voices on a rapid transit system was Joseph Krakowiak, director of university residence halls and apartments. "We're three independent campuses," he said. "How much moving around is there going to be if you're planning to put housing and all services on each?" But despite the fact that the plan projects reduced traffic between the campuses due to the clustering of programs and schools on specific campuses, Shibley said the concept of "one university, three campuses" still requires maintaining a strong connection using both technology and transit. Among those in favor of a rapid transit system was David L. Dunn, vice president for health sciences. "We really want a mass transit or light rail to connect the three campus~s ," he said, "for those of us who live on all three, whether you're a student or faculty." Lockwood Library moves to North Campus Books were trucked through windows as well as doors in 1978 when the contents of the original Lockwood Memorial Ubrary-now Charles D. Abbott Hallwere moved to the new Lockwood Ubrary on the North Campus. UB Ubraries staff relied on a gigantic, detailed planning manual for the move, entitled "A Moveable Feast." Six trucks, 100 dollies, 20 two-wheel hand trucks and 250 book carts were used by libraries staff and commercial movers, including 6o UB students hired by the moving company, to relocate 750,000 books, along with furniture and equipment. With only 10 miles of shelving in the South Campus building compared to 30 in the new building, the original Lockwood had been out of space for several years, necessitating the housing of many volumes at alternate locations. It was anticipated that 54,000 books would be moved each day. Instead, the daily count was !Oo,ooo. Thanks to careful planning and hard work the move was completed 10 days ahead of schedule. For the past 30 years the new Lockwood Memorial Library has served as the research library for the social sciences and the humanities, and is the largest library in SUNY. Abbott Hall is now the home of the Health Sciences Library, US's oldest library established in 1846. 30YEARS A G0 - John Edens, University Archives CAMPAIGN FOR TilE COMMUNITY UPDATE r of $850.000 goal r -~_) employee participation � 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.

Levels of the hormones insulin and leptin also were elevated in fetuses of these obese mother rats, abnormalities that have been cor related with increased appetite and insulin resistance (a prelude to diabetes), as well as obesity and hypertension. "Our earlier studies looked at newborn rats of the obese mothers in the post-weaning period, so we didn't know how early this programming occurred," said Mulchand Patel, UB Distinguished Professor of Biochemistry and senior author on the study. '"Now we know it occurs in utero and specifically in the hypothalamus. ..The fact that more than one-third of women of child-bearing age in the United States are expected to be overweight or obese during pregnancy, based on a 2003 study, does not portend well for good health of thtir offspring," he says.

Malathi Srinivasa n, research scientist in the UB Department of Biochemistry, is firs t author. Metabolic programming, sometimes called dietary patterning, isn 't a new phenomenon, Patel noted. "Epidemiologic studies of malnourished mothers showed that their babies often were underweight and at increased risk for several chron ic diseases as ad ults."

BUDNY Physician saves lives in Iraq BY ANN WHlT CHER ·G ENTZKE - When James L. Budny, M.D. '74 , signed up for military duty as a physician in the aftermath of 9{1 1, h is decision often met wi th conste rnation or disbelief. "People ask, 'Why did you do that at your age?"' says Budny, now 6o and president of the medical-dental staff at Kaleida Hea lth and clinical associate professor of neurosu rgery and radiology in the UB medical school. "My response is Why not? There's a need - it's a mat1er of doing wh at has to be done." In Augu st , Budny, who holds the ra nk of lieutena nt colonel, returned from a three- month tour of duty in Iraq with the U.S. Army Reserve Medical Corps. It was his first overseas posting. Whil e there, he endured scorching temperatures, dust storm s and sporadic incoming mortar fire to serve as one of two military neurosurgeons in the country. Working with a larger tea m of s urgeo ns at the U.S. military hos pital at Salad Air Base, Budny delivered "damage control neurosurgery" to the wounded . He a lso assisted general surgeons on a variety of procedures. Avuncular and plainspoken, Budny doesn't see himself as a hero or """n deserving of special recognition. "The people who really deserve the credit are all those young men and women who have been there for a year or 15 months, who have been there multiple times,• he says. When mass casualties arrived at the hospital, Budny and other members of the medical team rushed to save lives with maximum efficiency. "Our job was to meet the casualties at the front door, decide on who needed surgery and do the surgery.• Blast wounds were by far the most common injury; 90 percent of the patients were Iraqis. Perhaps the most uplifting experience, Budny says, was the treatment of Rani, a 6-year-old girl who arrived at the hospital early in his tour. ..She came in with a serious gunshot wound to the head. She bad been shot by an AI Qaeda type because her father is a n Iraqi police officer. We didn't expect her to survive-but we plugged away. Eventually, she was discharged to the Iraqi healtr:r... system. "Just before I left Iraq. Raoi returned to base for a follow-up. She was walking and talking-there was some weakness in her ann and her speech wasn't perfect. legal system sustains job discrimination BY PATRICIA DONOVAN The excessive emphasis in U.S. law on ove rt acts of employment di scrimination ignores the unintentional bias that pcrmcates workplaces and the orga ni zatio nal practices responsible for much discrimin ation, accord ing to a US sociologist a nd two col leagues from Northwestern University. Ellen Berrey, assistant professor of sociology, a nd her co-authors Robcrt L. Nelson and Laura Beth Niel sen, both affilia ted with the American Bar Foundation a nd Northwestern University, say the law conceives of employ ment discrimination too narrowly, thu s enabling discrimi natory orga nizationa l processes to continue. They make their case in .. Divergent Palhs: ConOicting Conceptions of 118 REPORTER Employment Oiscrimination in Law and the Social Sciences," an article to be published next month in Annual Reuiew of Law and Social Science. Nelson is lead author of the article, which argues th at this narrow legal conception of employment disc rimin ation increasingly dominates judicial opinions. "Coupled with a system of em pl oyment discrimination that emphas izes individual claims a nd individual remedies," the scholars write, "[the law] fai ls to support the organi zat io na! approaches that are most promis ing for redressing workplace discri min ation." They call th is legal conception "erroneous and "at ndds with the psycholngical and sociolngical literature on the nature of discrimination and how it . can best be addressed in work organizations ... Berrey explains that over the past few decades, the law has adopted a "perpetrator" mndel of discrimination that emphasizes purposeful intent. ..Judges and courts look for malicious ind ividuals who intentionally discriminate,"' s he says. '" But research has repeated ly shown that the noti on of purposeful intent does not accurately describe how people act or think when they discrim inate in th e workplace. "Psychologists document the pervasiveness instead of unintentional bias," she says, '"and resea rch also points to differen t organizationa l practices-like hiring by employees' networks- as sources of employment discriminatio n."

And when the law fails to regul ate the actu al practices th at perpet uate discrimination. then it fails to equa lly protect everyone in the U.S. workforce." The authors say the divergence between the treatment of employment discrimination in the law a nd in social sciences has profound implications. Organizations tend to systematically disadvantage women , minorities and other less advantaged groups. Without efforts to counter these tendencies, such disadvantage will continue. Individuals who believe they have been targets of discrimination are required to demonstrate to the courts specific instances of deliberate discrimination, contributing to the large volume of d ifficult-toprove litigation cases. ~-,.1 ·Green' house Energy Star compl iant . Zaenglein's house is only the second of its kind in Western New York. And with st raw bales scattered across her driveway, the build ing of her g·reen house has n't gone unnoticed by her neigh bors a nd passersby. But she welcomes the opportunity to inform those interested about this more environmentally friendly alternative to modern home-build ing. .. Some people think it 's crazy," she says . .. It's not like it's the th ree little pigs' house. It 's totally new to people. but it's actually a very old building practice." She credits a former co-worker, Janice Coch ran, a registered dieticia n in Wellness Education Services, for getting her involved in environmental causes initially through vegetarianism. "She helped me understand how eating meat impacts the environment ," Zaenglein explai ns. From vegetarianism, s he got involved in recycling and began reading more about em•ironmental issues. "To me, once I know something I have to do something. I can'tjust keep it in my head ," she says. The house will be completed this winter. After it's finished, it won't look much different from others in the neighborhood-except that Zaenglein's home will have a wh ite·plaster exterior instead of vinyl. Zaenglein believes her house is a perfect example of what any of us can do to reduce our energy consumption on a personal level. "It's about what people can do, what's possible for the environment and for their ecological footprint ." she adds. �-·· .If November 13 . 200B " Vol. 40 No . 12 Training helps prepare for worst w...t WOIIId,... then-- .. actift shooter Oft umpus7 1hlt IIIIOiiling ~was posed by Ofliar ScDtt Marciszewsld of UrMrsity Policz cU:Ing a s*y hini>g session ~ oo 1he South Civnpus hosl!d by 1he Parlcer tWI Saioly Camltb!e.

SUNY tuition hike proposed BY I UE'i>'U~T CHER The presidents of the 29 state-operated SUNY campuses and Gov. David A. Paterson are seeking increases in un· dergraduate tuition, beginning with the coming spring.semester. The presidents, in a letter to H. Carl McCall, chair of the SUNY Board of Trustees' Finance Committee, have asked trustees to seek a $1,090 annuaJ increase in tuition, beginning with a $545 hike fnr the spring 2009 semester. Paterson has proposed that tuition at SUNY and CUNY increase by $300 for the spring semester and by another $300 fnr the fall 2009 semester. His proposal is part of a plan to reduce the state's deficit by $5.2 billion over the next two years . The SUNY presidents told McCall that their request is part of "'a prioritized plan nf action• developed to "protect the vital mission of SUNY during these unprecedented economic times."

"Within SUNY resides the hope and passion to create a new and sustainable economy for New York State." In addition to the tuition increase, the presidents are recommending: • An immediate end to cuts in state support for SUNY. • A limit on future tuition increases to the annual percentage increase reported in tbe Higher Education Price Index. In years where the state appropriation does not meet increases in fixed costs, increases should be limited to 10 percent. • F1exibility for SUNY so that it may operate in a more efficient and responsive manner that is afforded other stateaffiliated structures. • A more teffective external communications strategy that champions SUNY contributions to the state. • The state to issue bonds to fund approved campus capital projects. The presidents also are proposing a variable tuition policy that would allow institutions to charge different tuition to reflect diffwnces in institutional mission and costs, as well as a comprehensive review of the current Budget Allocation Method.

Capon Ptolossor of Mart.eting Restorcll Chair,lloporunont of Milltttlng School of Management UB to celebrate international education BY SUE WUET CH ER UB will celebrate International Education Week (l EW) Nov. 17-21 with a variety of events , including a keynote speech by award-winning author Dahr Jamail about his experiences as an unembedded journalist in Iraq. UB joins colleg·e s and universities across the country in celebrating lEW, a joint initiative of the U.S. departments of State and Education to promote programs that prepare Americans for a global environment and attract future leaders from abroad to study, learn and exchanges experience in the United States. The celebration is particularly relevant at UB, which is ranked 13th among 2,700 accredited U.S. universities in international enrollment, according to an annual report released by the Institute of International Education. Jamail, who has won numerous awards, including the 2008 Martha Gellhorn Award for Journalism, the James Aronson Award for Social Justice Journalism and the Joe A. Callaway Award for Civic Courage, will speak on "The Occupation of Iraq: Its Impact on Iraqi Civilians and U.S. Sold.iers" at ?:30 p.m. Nov. 18 in the Student Union Theater, North Campus. He will sign copies of his book, "Beyond the Green Zone: Dispatches from an Unembedded Journalist in Occupied Iraq ,~ after the lecture. Jamail's book offers a first-hand account of the occupation , presenting tf1e stories of average Iraqis living in Samara and Fallujah, two of the most dangerous areas of Baghdad. It provides an Iraqi perspective that has not been seen in the mainstream media, redefining resistance, occupation and insurgency. Prior to Jamail's talk, there will be a screening of the fi lm "Iraq in Fragments," a nominee for the 2007 Academy Award for Best Documentary. The documentary, which will be shown at 5:45p.m. in the Student Union Theater, offers three intimate portraits: that of a fatherless 11-year-old who is apprenticed to the domineering owner of a Baghdad mechanic's shop; Sadr followers in two Shiite cities who rally for regional elections while enforcing Islamic law at gunpoint; and a family of Kurdish farmers that welcomes the U.S. presence, which has allowed them a measure of freedom previously denied. Other events to be held throughout the week include presentations showcasing US's global outreach efforts, dance and musical performances, film screenings, food tastings and exhibitions. Of particular interest will be a screening of the award-winning film "The Edge of Heaven" ("Auf der anderen Seite," Germany{I\lrkey, 2007). This year's Culture in Motion film series selection, it will be shown at 7 p.m. Nov. 20 in 120 Clemens Hall, North Campus. A panel discussion led by UB Thrkish students will follow. Winner of the Best Screenplay award at the 2oo8 Cannes Film Festival, "The Edge of Heaven• is a comingof-age story of six characters whose lives cross and intertwine, but in many ways clash and never truly meet.

Closing inlormation also will be available on WBFO-FM 88.7, at www.buffalo.edu and at MyUB.buflalo.edu One of the world's leading cancer research centers, Roswell Park Cancer Institute (RPCI) was established 110 years ago through the work of a UB faculty member and another distinguished Buffalonian. In t898, Roswell Park (pictured on left), a lead ing surgeon and UB professor, recognized the impending significa nce of ca ncer research and the need to create a laboratory devoted solely to its study. Park and Edward H. Butler Sr. (pictured on right), fou nder of The Buffalo Evening News, succeeded in securing state funding to equip and maintain the New York State Pathological Laboratory, the world's first research center devoted to CAMPAIGN FOR THE COMMUNITY UPDATE the study of cancer. Originally located in UB's medical building on High Street, the laboratory moved to a new building in 1901 and was renamed the Gratwick Research Laboratory. A decade later, the laboratory became a state entitythe New York State Institute for the Study of Malignant Diseases. In 1946, the laboratory was renamed to honor its founder and first director, Roswell Park. Today, UB remains affiliated with RPCithrough the institute's graduate division and as a research partner. - Amanda Kuhnel .

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 heiP-_s kids cast ballots More than 100,000 students from more than 100 local elementary, middle and high schools in 20 districts participated this year in the largest and most comprehensive student voting program ever held in Western New York since UB began administering the local Kids Voting campaign. Students in kindergarten to 12th grade cast ballots via computer fur candidates in Thesday's election. Students in kindergarten through the serond grade voted only on the presidential election. The older the students, the more races they cast their votes; high school students voted for candid ates for Congress, State Assembly, State Senate, District Attorney and several judicial races, all in elections specific to the students' school districts. The Kids Voting initiative triggered unusual excitement about the election in the schools, according to Katie J. Biggie, coordinator of Kids Voting Western New York and educational outreach coordinator for UB's Cen- ter for Educational Collaboration. Encouraged by the ongoing voting campaigns, student interest and enthusiasm in this year's election "skyrocketed," Biggie says. "Kids Voting WNY/UB seeks lo introduce students to the importance of voting and civic engagement from an early age,"' she explains. "' For those involved in the program, being an engaged citizen means teaching students how to raise their voices to help their neighborhoods, using the democratic process to introduce change and including their voice in all elections whether local, state or federal." Kids Voting is the latest example of voting initiatives developed by UB to increase involvement and interest in the recent election.

Pelham Jr., UB Distinguished Professor in the departments of Psychology, Pediatrics and Psychiatry, and one of the leading experts in attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), has been named the inaugural recipient of the Presidential Award for Faculty Excellence. The award was established last spring by President John B. Simpson to recognize a UB faculty member who has achieved the highest degree of excellence as a scholar, community citizen and educator. Pelham, who also directs US 's Cente r for Children and Families, will receive the award at a public event to be held in the spring during which he will deliver a lecture on his research . In explaining his choice of Pelham to be the first recipient of this award, Simpson noted that it came as no surprise, given UB's extraordinary faculty, that the call for nominations attracted a large pool of distinguished , eminently qualified nominees from across campus.

Her familial sense also extends to the community, where she becomes Good Neigh- bor Ruth, continually extending a helping hand to meet the unlimited capacity of her civic consciousness. Ruth Bryant, assistant dean in the School of Architecture and Planning, has been a mt!mber of the UB family for more than 40 years. She arrived at UB in the 1960s as a business student from a small village in the Catskills . After graduation, she stayed, accepting a staff position in the Graduate School of Education before finding a home in the School of Architecture and Planning in ..._982 . That was where then-dean Harold Cohen first inspired Bryant to become involved in the community. He r first volunteer effort was with the YWCA of Western New York and she hasn't looked back . She has served on numerous hoards , among them the United Way of New York State, the Erie County Cultural Resources Advisory Board and th e Community Foundation for Greater Buffalo, where- she ..,t•rved two years as cha ir - rou start with one. then another.- she t·xplams - r ou have differe nt groups around tin· table workmg to improve live~ .

She and her husband, Earl and has served on many univenitywide committees and task forces. ..The university itself is a oommunity and I believe if ynu have a talent, ynu should share it with the larger community," she reasons. Her talent, she feels, is being a "people person," and her philosophy is d irect. "We need to stop complaining. If it's something that needs to he done, go and help do it." Bryant has achieved a remarkable balance of contributing to school and community. "Do people real1y have an understanding of what the university has to offer?· she asks. •'RIIIt's something President Simpson has been saying in terms of UB 2020 . We have lots of resou rces that we can share with the community and, in turn, the community can help us leverage support for this initiative." One aspect of the whirlwind of activity that is Bryant may be approaching the end of an era-the UB stalwart has begun planning fur retirement. But that won 't stop he r from continuing to work toward a stronger comm unity. "You 've got peaks and val1eys, but how can we work together to bring this valley up?- she asks. - when you get people of like minds working together with a common goa l and vision, you'll see the valley start to rise, and when it becomes even, you say Yes!"

Mochael of ;ity. The researchers found that teams with a moderate number of structural holes-or gaps in the network of friends-perform better than teams with either very large or very small structural holes among the members. Most major companies organize managers into teams according to the skill set of employees or on a project-by-project basis. Gaps between friend relationships occur when, for example, John is friendls with Mary, and Mary is friendls with Bill, but John is not friends with Bill. The technical term for this is '"structural hole," Balkundi explains. In moderation, structural holes are beneficial because they allow for the team to access the members' distinct knowledge and also use that knowledge to their advantage because of good communication among the members. Structural holes suggest the presence of different social worldls and diverse pools of knowledge, and by acting as a broker between these different social worlds, a pel'$0n is able to transfer information across the cleavages. -pewe,r structural holes, such as in cliques, may have better communication, but can drive out creativity," Balkundi says. "On the other hand, completely fragmented groups with large gaps between members cannot even get together to function. This is why moderate levels of structural holes are best.· Balkundi says they also found that diversity in age does not inhibit friendlships among team members and can actually protect a team from fragmenting, even if it bas a lot of ethnic or gender diversity. This Jed to the conclusion that managers who want more cohesive teams may want to have both older and younger members. The study was published in the Journal of Organizational Behavior. "Rather than look to ~ solutions at the contin~ntallevel, policies that allow for some flexibility in regional implementation could improve border efficiencies without compromising security," Lombardi adds.

According to the "Border Brief," among the federal policies that may be in need of attention is a package of prescreening programs intended to bolster security while maintaining border flows. "Part of the challenge here is the uniform implementation of federal policies across a wide range of border regions , each with different commodity flows, shipper profiles and traffic patterns" says Peter A. Lombardi. a UB institute policy ana lyst and co-author of the brief. Research suggests that alcoholics are more likely to experience emotions such as annoyc.mce, frustration and anger compared to non-alcoholics. A new st udy at UB's Research Insti tute on Addictions (RIA) will investigate these anger emotions and how they might be addressed in outpatient alcoholism treat· ment. In this study, researchers will develop a treatment specifically focused on anger management for use with individuals with drinking problems and then will examine the effects of the new treatment protocol in a pilot clinical trial. The study is funded by a $1.8 million grant from the National Institute of Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism. "If we can help individuals to manage anger emotions differently, we should be able to help them cope in ways other than drinking," explains Kimberly S. Walitzer, senior research scientist, deputy director of RIA and lead investigator on the study. -Kathleen Weaver James A. "Beau" WlWs Is executive vice president for university support services .

Projects already funded that will lay the foundation for our growth include new facilities for the School of Pharmacy and Pharmaceutical Sciences, School of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Clinical and Translational Research Center, and UB Downtown Gateway. Does it make economic sense to mo.., the Academic Health Center from the South Campus to the Downtown Campus? Absolutely. Our health sciences schools need to be where the hospitals and our major research partners are. What a downtown Academic Health Center will mean for Buffalo-in terms of jo~teation, economic growth and quality of life-is the perfect illustration of how UB's impact will grow exponentially through UB 2020. The benefits of bringing the AHC downtown-including several thousand more people working, studying and living in the city, as well as thousands of new jobs created-represent an incredible return on investment. What will be the focus of the Nov. 19 forum on UB's comprehensive physical plan? We will show a fully developed master plan specifying the identity and purpose of our three campuses, defining campus precincts and building sites, describing improvements to our transportation systems, enumerating new facilrties to be planned and buil~ and providing a preliminary scheme for the phasing and sequencing of everything in the plan. Is there still a chance to influence the plan? Definitely, and I encourage every university community member to weigh in.

Green, 7QYEARS AGO THIS WEEK wasdedicated']Oyearsagoon Nov. 2, t938. Evelyn Howes Clark left a bequest of $300,000 to the university for the construction of the Irwin 8 . Clark Memorial Gymnasium. There was space in the gym for a wide range of athletics- from archery to wrestling-with the basketball court designed to accommodate 1,6oo spectators. To add to the decorative design, three plastercast friezes by sculptor and Buffalo native Charles Cary Rumsey were installed in the building. The bas-relief friezes depict Greco-Roman athletes competing in various Olympic events. Rumsey originally was commissioned to sculpt the friezes in t920 for tbe Rice Stadium in Pelham Bay Park in the Bronx. The Riee Stadium friezes were destroyed when the stadium was tom dawn in 1989, leaving the ones in Clark as the only remaining copy of this sculpture. In 2004, the friezes were recast in bronze and installed near the entrance to Alumni Arena. Clark gym was closed after Alumni Arena opened in t982.

"Placing death at the center of an analysis of crosscultural encounters among Africans, Europeans and Native Americans allows us to see the world as the participants themselves viewed it.• In fact, Seeman says the examination of deathways is virtually unmatched for understanding cross-cultural encounters that took place centuries ago in the New World. "For one thing," he says, "death was ubiquitous. Virgin soil epidemics devastated Indian populatioo:;; the mortality of slaves"dii'New World plantations was appalling; unfamiliar disease environments decimated Europeans in the Chesapeake and West Indies; and war raged in every corner of the region . "Second, Christianity, Judaism and the many polytheistic religions of American Indians and sub-Saharan Africans focused on explaining to believers the meaning of death and the afterlife," be says. "Because of this," Seeman says, "when individuals met strangers, they were interested in the others' deathways. What remains are far more descriptions of mortuary rituals than of such cultural practices as food preparation or music." Death practices, be says, offer researchers "a rich trove of evidence with which to explore cultural and social attitudes and practices outside of deathways." Cremation , "air burial. ~ grave cairns, funeral mounds, mummification, belief in life after death-death practices sacred to one culture are often considered "odd" or even terrifying by another. The Greeks, for example, were fascinated with the historian Herodotus' description of the ancient lssedonians choppi ng up their dend into a mixed grill and devouring them in a communal barbecue, something entirely contrary to the Gree~tment of their own dead.

As a first step in developing the new specialization, UB has appointed Adel W.

The diver, Michael McDowell, listens to her crit ique, climbs up the ladder to the thr~e-meter springboard and executes a nearly flawless dive. Last year, under Helder 's coaching, McDowell was the second man in US's 12-year history of Division t swimming and diving to go to the NCAA championship. But this past May and August, it was Helder's turn to shine on the springboard. At the 2008 FINA World Masters Diving Champion ships, she won two gold medals and set do whatever she wao~d and I told her 'go to the eod of the hoard and jump' like•he did to us at our practices," $plains McDow..W.

Only 7 percent of New York residents have signed formally onto the state's electronic registry. Building and populating the registry became increasingly important this July when New York implemented a ..consent" rather t han an "intent " registry, which makes a patient's wishes more binding. Thomas Feeley, associate professor and a specialist in health communication, is co-principal investigator on a project to "bulk up" the registry. With the aid of a $6JO,OOO, two-year grant from the Health Resources Services Administration's Division of Transplantation, Feeley and co-investigator Michael Stefa none, assistant professor of communication, will take advantage of popular Internet social networking Web UBREPORTER sites to spread the word about the importance of organ donation and encourage users statewide to enroll. The New York Alliance for Donation in Albany is considered the principal investigator. "Current efforts targeting young adults rely on traditional media, such as radio, television and print." says Feeley. "It's clear that college-age adults consider these forms of media antiquated." The project's immediate target is the college-age population-tS-to-24-year-olds-with a goal of increasing registrants in this group by 15 percent. A recent study found that more than So percent of college students regularly sign on to the social networking Web sites MySpace and FaceBook. An online presence encouraging organ donation will be created on these two sites, plus YouThbe, the three most popular Web sites for social networking. Messages created by pro-donation UB undergradu ates will he posted and monitored, and the sites will he linked to the New York State Donate Life registry. www.butlaLD.edu/UBRoporter UB Reporter rs a laculty/stalf newspaper publrshed by the Olfrce of Unrversrty (ommunrcatrons rn the Orvrsron of External Aftau!t. £ditonal oHrces are rn 330 Crofts Hall on the North Campus.

The researchers also plan to increase registration of non-college-age adults by 5 percent. Feeley has been researching attitudes toward, and interest in, organ donation among college-age students for several years. One of his studies, published in the Journal ofApplied Social Psychology, indicated that college students are ideal targets for communication about organ donation because they generally are open to knowledge and information, tend to be altruistic and are more likely to serve as future opinion leaders. Another study, published in the Journal of Health Comm unication , showed that only 11 percent of a convenience sample of 502 college students at two universities has signed donor cards, but So percent were open to learning more about organ donation. pat~ �October 30 . 2008 " Vol. 40 No . 10 t le~~leter et 1t100 ld age I, Diving itlderwon and set •·ords.

So I don'tthink it's surprising that a company that rates well on some measures, such as philanthropy, would find itself in the middle of the current crisis. How do you think the Wall Street crisis has impacted public perception about the finance industry? Wali Street for years has been painted as the bastion of excessive greed. But I think the current crisis has the potential to shift the debate from one about a few bad apples in an otherwise legitimate ~em-which was how the Enron scandal was characterizedto a questioning of the incentives and rules ofthe ~em itself.

Rockefeller used the same silver shovel that had been used in 1920 at the groundbreaking for Foster Hall, the first building UB constructed on the South.Campus.

Com posting toilets can contain waste until it is ready to be treated for use as fertilizer. Although sanitation development has been undervalued as a public health policy issue, Ram says, governments of poor nations are beginning to take notice because of its proven economic and social benefits. "The United Nations estimates that $9 is generated for each $1 spent on improved sanitation, so the economic impact is huge," she says. "Not to mention the lives saved through the simplest and cheapest of daily habits." In an ongoing study funded by the Water and Sanitation Program of the World Bank, Ram and a research team are evaluating the effectiveness of promoting handwashing with soap at large scale. This project bas the potential to demonstrate improved handwashing behavior, as well as hand-washing's impact on diarrhea morbidity and other child development metrics. Data on hand-washing traditionally has beeo collected by observational studies, but now Ram and her colleagues are using a high-tech soap that features a small motionsensor device in each bar that can help pinpoint when and how often people use soap and water for washing hands. The data from these studies is much more accurate, she says. In another study, Ram is looking at why antimicrobial agents are preferred by caregi""rs of children and bealth workers over simple oral rehydration therapy for diarrhea managemenL Despite their popularity, these agents are not effective in half or more of diarrhea episodes, and unnecessary use promotes the spread of drugresistant pathogens. In Erie County, her group will evaluate a hand hygiene promotion program, which includes the use of waterless hand sanitizers, in order to examine its impact on hand-cleansing practices and absenteeism in schools. � 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.

The three cameras ha"" been installed on street corners identified as areas of concern by the Buffalo Police Department and UB. They are located on traffic-signal or streettight poles on the corners of Winspear Avenue and Parkridge Street, Main Street and Custer Street, and Englewood Avenue and Eley Place. Purchase and installation of the cameras cost UB about $80,000. Each new camera will provide video streaming to the Buffalo Police Department camera room located at 74 Franklin St. President John B. Simpson said purchase of the cameras is an example of UB's proactive approach to helping solve problems in University Heights, which borders the South Campus.

At the most fundamental level, he said, all constitu- encies have agreed that .. the momentum for UB 2020 must be preserved and enhanced by the decisions made in the parallel courses of action." They are the generation of new revenues from both existing and new sources; judicious management of university expenses that improves the quatity of services and acbieves "real dollar· savings; strategic budget reductions made in a highly differentiated way consistent witb the defining principles; and the prudent utilization of central fund reserves for key university initiatives. "While the realities of our current budget situation will make it difficult to fully mitigate tbe tremendous impact that a budget reduction of tbis magni- tude will have on our university mission and vision, the strategic financial plan we are developing will, I believe, put us in a better position to respond to this unsettling financial situation," be said . � 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.

Investing in job training BV IU£ WUETCHER As an admi nistrator in the School of Management, Katherine G. Ferguson wants to improve the quality of the work life of her employees. She says it's important to the school to retain quality workers and to make sure staff members know that their contributions are valued. "'1 want them to know that we believe in fostering an environment that values different ways of looking at things and different ways of approaching problems so we ca n achieve the best outcomes with student recruitment and service," says Ferguson, associate dean for academic programs. ~valuing a variety of perspectives can lead to com munication gaps and even conflict, so we need to make sure they have the tools to work well in that kind of environment." So Ferguson turned to the Organizational Development and Training (OD&T) unit of University Human Resources. Working with OD&T staff, she has developed customized training programs for all of the staff members who work in the academic pro· grams offices in the School of Management. The group started with a basic session on communication skills, and last week went through a session on managing conflict. She says she thinks her staff appreciated the opportunity "to step away from the daily grind and talk candidly about how soft skills affect the way we do business." Thesession on managing conflict, in particular, ·generated several excellent ideas for next steps about how we can assess our services and for the need to forge closer ties ~ For more details and the lull slate of tralmng programs offl!fed by with other areas in the ~ OD&T. go to www.buffalo.edu/ubreporterftra1ning nl! school that are providing ....

While about 2,6oo UB employees-both faculty and staff-alao are UB alumni, sbe says only about 200 are currently "card-<:arrying" members of the U8AA. BY KEVIN FRYliNG Yearly dues are only $40, she adds, noting that members receive a number of perks, including discount rates at local realtors-as well as at the University Bookstore, Campus Tees and select hotels and car rental agencies-and access to a "VVP section" at UB 8uUa garoea that features greater selection "Went here. Work here. Play here." Those six little words describe the personal-and professional-philosophy of Nancy Battaglia, director of the Services Unit in University Human Resources and chair of the UB employee chapter of the UB Alumni Association(UBAA). "I goess you could say that I bleed Blue and White," says Battaglia, B.S. '89, M.B.A. '96. "I've been a UB employee for about five years now. I received both my bacbelor's degree and master's degree from the university, and it's very rare that I misa a basketball game." Battaglia alao is a familiar sight among U8 football fans since sbe holds season tickets for that sport as well Since tsking over last year as head of the UB employee alumni chapter, established in 2004, s!w"Y" she's been working to recruit new members, including canvassing the and shorter lines for concessions.

All faculty, staff and students are asked to participate in the 10-minute ACCESS (Assessment of Campus Climate to Enhance Student Success) survey, which is being coordinated by UB's Office of Disability Services. The survey is being conducted in collaboration with the Association on Higher Education and Disability, a professional membe~hip organization for individuals involved in developing policy and providing quality services to meet the needs of persons with disabilities in higher education. The survey, which is anonymous, is being conducted now through Oct. 31 and can be accessed at http://www.ahead.org/ survey/access/buffalo/login.php; the case·sensitive username and passWord are Buff~ and Disabi1· ity, respectively. The survey is gathering data from members of the U8 community-both those with and without disabilities-"regarding their knowledge, experiences and perceptions about disabilities," says Susan Mann Dolce, a counselor in the Office of Disability Services and principal investigator on UB's portion of ACCESS. It also asks questions about what kinds of information and support the campus needs-and in what format-to best support students with disabilities, she says. Dolce says participating in the survey will provide UB with a pro- active approach to planning and implementing services for persons with disabilities, caUing it •a good fit" with such campus initiatives as the Center for Inclusive Design and Environmental Access (IDEA Center) in the School of Architecture and Planning. The results of the survey, Dolce says, will be used "to assist UB and Disability Services to develop a strategic plan that will maximize t he use of resources available, and grow from there regarding access and universal design." "An unexpected benefit of the project is that it has opened up a level of awareness at UB regarding 'disability' for many individuals who never really considered it before,.. she notes, adding that she has received numerous comments from members of the campus community who are pleased to see US participating in this kind of research. ~ I For more inlormauon on the survey. vosot www buflalo.edu/ubreporter/d•sabilities.IJ! �October 16. 2008 " Vol. 40 No .

"Retirees in the United States commonly rely on one or more of three sources of income: Social Security, employer-provided pension benefits and individual retirement savings arrangements such as 401(k) plans, 403(b) plans and in- dividual retirement accounts," says James A. Wooten. "Retirees who receive pensions from Social Security or their employer should see little effect from the financial crisis, while individuals who depend on a 401(k) plan or an TRA may be hit hard." Social Security is the most important source of income for U.S. retirees. Social Security, Wooten observes, is a "defined-benefit" plan. Retirees receive a stream of regular cash payments (an annuity) based on a formula in federal statutory law. "Because Social Security retirement benefits are based on a formula," he says, "the annuity payments that retirees receive do not depend on the short-term performance of financial markets." Employer-sponsored pension plans are another source of retirement income. Like Social Security, these are "defined-benefit" plans that traditionally pay retirees an annuity. "As with Social Security," says Wooten, "the annuity a retiree receives from a defined-benefit plan does not depend on the shortterm performance of financial markets. So the turmoil in financial markets will not affect the annuities paid to current retirees." Over the longer term, however, volatility in the financial markets may have a big effect on employer-sponsored pension plans. "If a defined-benefit plan's investments perform poorly," Wooten says, "the employer that sponsors the plan will have to make largei- financial contributions to fund the benefits it has promised. Recently, a number of private-sector employers have dropped their traditional pebsion plans, which provided annuities to retirees, and replaced it with a 401(k) plan, which does not offer annuities. The increased burden of funding traditional pensions may accelerate the trend away from defined-benefit plans and toward 401(k) plans." A third source of income is individual retirement savi ngs arrangements, which include "definedcontribution" plans, such as 401(k) and 403(b) plans and individual retirement accounts (IRA). These resemble a savings or mutual-fund account. The individual's employer also may make contributions. The amount available for retirement depends on how much has been contributed to the account and how well the investments pe.rfonn. ln contrast to Social Security and employee-sponsored defined-benefit plans, 401{k), 403(b) or IRA accounts bear investment risk. "If the investments in the account do well ," Wooten says, "the account holder will have more money for retirement. If the investments do badly, the account holder will have less retirement income.

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.

Tripathi said UB's senior leadership agreed at Frrday's meetmg •that our UB 2020 vision of academic excellence must be preserved; our dediCation to providing the best education to our undergraduate, graduate and professional students must not be compromised; and the full potential of our research program must be realized • As a result, he noted, "selective budgetary reductionsrather than across·the·board reductions - will be designed with these principles and mandates as our guide."

"There's a great deal of subtlety and complexity about the game, botb in terms of tbe bidding, as well as the playing. To me, that's the most exciting or rewarding aspect: It's an intellectual challenge." BY KEVIN FRYLING Michael Ryan is a pretty busy guy, serving as vice provost and dean of undergraduate education, as well as professor in the School of Engineering and Applied Sciences. But when the time comes to unwind, you just might find him up to something you didn't expect-playing bridge. Bridge players advance to compete in some national-level events by qualifying in regional competitions, including the one in which Ryan's team took first place earlier this year in Meadville, Pa. In Las Vegas, Ryan's team competed in what 's known as the "B flight," just one step below the top amateurs (flight A) and professional players, who compete in tbe "championship flight ." A player's "flight" is based on the total number of master points tbe player has earned over the course of his or her entire bridge-playing career. After five consecutive days of punishing elimination rounds, Ryan's team finished just short of the top spot in their flight, earning a hard-fought, second-pl~n. In fact, Rya n, a regu· lar at Buffalo's biggest bridge clubs, is s uch an accomplished player that he was invited to compete in the American Co ntract Bridge League's Gra nd National Teams (GNT) championship, held in Las Vegas this past summer. "I've been playing bridge for about 20 years," he says . .. For me, it's relaxi ng, although , if you look at a bridge competition, it might not seem as though anyone's very relaxed." Ryan , who learned to play bridge from his parents growing up in Montreal and continued playing while in college, made the leap from social to competitive bridge shortly after joining the UB faculty in the 1970s. He and several colleagues, also enthusiasts ofthe game, ran into trouble coaxing players from among tbe department's faculty and graduate students. Competitive bridge, wbicb is played in a four-person format , involves a special, high-intensity version of the game called "duplicate bridge" in wbich cards are arranged so that everyone participating in a tournament is dealt the same series of hand s. "It was pretty grueling and intense, particularly that format, so we were pleased with our result," he says. "Naturally, we would have liked to have won, but it was very exciting-and very tough-to come in second." Ryan's teammates in the Las Vegas tournament i_n cluded his game partner, a local computer programmer, as well as a retired math teacher and a former engineer, all from Buffalo.

In addition, UB police have set up information tables on security in Harriman Ha ll and in the residence ha lls. Schocnle says, and additional workshops and materials are being added to UB's ongoing crime awareness program. The enhanced lighting portion of the project is expected to be completed by Oct. tS, with the entire project wrapped up by Nov. 30. Cost of t he project is $5.3 million . The South Campus site lighting and security system project was begun shortly after commencement in May. In all, 650 new light standards will replace the 575 lights that previously illuminated the campus/providing lighting that is 25 percent brighter. In addition, University Facilities is in the process of insta lling 76 security cameras that will record 24 hou rs a day and keep a 30-day record of activity, and 19 blue light emergency phones, which are replacing older phones already on campus and increasing the total number available. The phones arc equi pped with speakers that can transmit an audio message in a t.ooo-foot radius to allow the broadcast of emergency announcements, if needed . In addition, the Anti-Rape Task Force offers escort services from 8 p.m. to midnight Sunday through Thursday to walk any member of the campus commu nity to any local ion on both the Sout h and Nort h campuses-car, academic buildi ng or residence hall. On Saturday, UB will conduct Operation Doorha nger, an annual program in which the univer· sity distributes more than 4,000 doorhangers and magnets containing importa nt phone numbers and safety rem inders to students and University Heights residents. The Anti-Rape Task Force also offers a safety van on the South Campus seven days a week from 8 p.m. until midnight. The van picks up passengers at three different locations: Goodyear Hall, Main l.oop and Health Sciences Library. The van operates in 20-minute intervals and will drive men and women to any destination within Residents also will receive information on whom to call if there are problems in their neighborhood, and the university is pursuing an initi ative that addresses disruptive st udent parties before they begin. ------~ UB REPORTER www.buffalo.eduiUBRe porter un RPporwr "..1 l.uull'('<.taH nP<Nspapt>t pubh-shpd hy th(' Oftt((> ul I hmll''"'ty ( ummurur tfiK l'\ drt' rn ·"''""<:. m Uw i)(l ( H•h\ Hdll Orvr\run ol t xl~llldl Affarr\ 1-dnon.tl nn thP North ( <tmpuc, lhp f'rirtm m;;ty !w rr>,u ll('{j .111l-1'l J(.Jb pr uiJ 'l'flOI"ll'' bullalo €'du Editor · \uf' Wuf'ldtf't Staff writer: Designers: 1 rr,t£>n 1.5 mile.

Clark, U.S. Army (Ret.), will join Karl Rove for this month's UB Dis~ tinguished Speakers Series (OSS) election debate. The program is scheduled for B p.m., Sept 26 in Alumni Arena, North Campus. BY EllEN GOlDBAUM Particle physicists don't ordinarily have a reputation as the most effusive bunch in the world , but UB physicists, along with their colleagues all over the planet, arc positively exuberant about the debut of the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) nt CE RN (the European Center for Nuclear Research) in Geneva, Switzerland, the most powerfu l particle physics accelera· tor ever built . Yesterday, billions of protons in the I. t-I C's two particle beams were, for the f1rst time, smashed toget her at an en~ crgy of 14 trillion electron volts (TeV), making a complete circle in the 27 kilo~ meter~long (about 17 miles) underground tunnel that spans pa rts of France a nd Switzerland. Data resulting from collisions of th ese beams are expec ted to change what physicists know and understand nhou t eve rything from the Big Bang and black holes to the ever-elusive Higgs boson and the mos t fundamen~ tal building blocks of matter. Seve ~ physicists were directly involved in the planning and design of experiments at the LHC.

Obsen'ed Dejan Stojkovic, assistant professor of physics: "This is progress, this is how you advance so~ ciety. Scientists deal with fundamental questions. The answers to these questions don 1t pay off immediately. But science pulls the whole society forward. The LHC required the best engineers to build it and the best scientists to plan and use it.

Solving work, personal problems BY LAUREN NEWKIRU\<1_AYNARD " My former boss called me Deb, but I go as Debbie, or Deb- orah ... whatever you want ." experience with emergencies makes her a valuable addition to the EAP leadership. Deborah Hard is nothing if not accommodating, a trait that also drives her new job as administrator of UB's Employee Assistance Program (EAP). a free information and referral service available to all university employees, family members and retirees. The EAP office helps employees dea l with difficu lt and often-overlapping personal and work-related issues: substance and domestic abuse, problem gambling, work stress, ca regiver overload. work-life balance, union matters, child ca re, military service and any type of emergency, whether on campus or off. As part of the UB 2020 Huma n Resources Transformation initiative, Hard expects the EAP to expa nd and better tailor its services to the needs of UB employees. MThis is a big ca mpu s with many levels of employee and superv isory dynamics, workplace stress and diverse personal situations," Hard says. .. We need to be better able to rc~pond to all groups promptly and fairly." Before joining UH this spring, Hard spent 15 years at the New York stat e EAP office- part oft he Co\'ernor's Office of Employee Relations-where s he supervised more than 25 Western New York EAPs. She also serves as a peer counselor for thl' Western New York Stress Reduction Program Inc., whose cri tical incidence-reduction s~r­ viccs aid police officers, firefighters . EMS personnel and other emerge ncy workers. Her For instance, Hard was recognized at the recent Uni"ersity Police awards breakfast for collaborating with university police officers who responded to an off-campus infant death. "Kids' deaths are the worst." Hard says, referring to that incident a nd more genera lly to this summer's rash of area swimming-pool drownings.

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.

U.S. News and World Report recently ranked UB with Harvard University and the Univenity of Pennsylvania as having one of the largest enrollments of internation· al undergraduate students in the U.S. With the number of 18-year-old U.S. high schoal graduates predicted to begin to decline in 2010, Dunnett says recruitment of international students is becoming a priority at many U.S. colleges and universities. "I want to be clear that we compete mightily for our students, domestic and foreign, in-state and out-of- state; Dunnett says, "and we are deeply dedicated to the education of every one of them. "But we need to recognize that our out-of-state student papulation, which increasingly comes from foreign na· tions, is academically well-prepared, very canny about the quality of the education they receive for the price and saught after by thousands of institutions in the U.S., Canada and Europe. "They know they have plenty of other options," he says. "so to attract them and keep them, we offer the best service and the most enhanoed academic experienoe possible.• Dunnett says UB was among the tint to enroll large numben of foreign students and to provide services that recogni2ed their special language needs. The program in English-as-a-second language edu- cation has been a great resource, be says. The Office of International Student and Scholar Services offers numerous programs, including orientation to Jiving and studying in America , cross-cultural counseling, academic advisement and such student services as assistance with immigration issu es and social clubs.

Activities are focused on teaching the UB community ways to identify and respond to those at risk of suicide. A performance on Sept. 10 by actor and author Martin Moran of his award-winning, one-man p1ay "The Tricky Part .. will highlight Suicide Prevention Week activities at UB. "The Tricky Part" will be performed at 7:30 p.m. in the Drama Theatre in the Center for the Arts, North Campus. Doors wi11 open at 6:30p.m. Admission is free, but seating is limited. Moran also will participate in a post-performance talk a nd a signing of his book, "The Tricky Part." The play, which chronicles Moran's recovery from childhood sexual abuse-including suicide attempts-is an abridged version of his memoir of the same name. Moran says it is important for him to bring his play to a sector of society devoted to inquiry-"to a campus teeming with the inquisitive young and the slightly less young who are serving as guides and teachers." "When I was walking around campus as a 19-year-old, I was full of volatile secrets, a shame I couldn't comprehend," he says. " In the very early stages of writing 'The Tricky Part,' I felt a crazy amount of fear and shame about what I was WTiting. It felt very secret. I've come to see how grappling with tbedeepest secrets has giveri rise to a piece of writing-of theater-that provokes . fierce inquiry about religion, sexuality and forgiveness-about how we gain authority over our own pasts. "'I've come to believe that, at its core, the play is an exploration of compassion for oneself and for others,· be says. •And this exploration of compassion, of what it means to be human-the paradoxes and complexities that entails-feels vital to bring to a university." Other activities scheduled for Suicide Prevention Week include a session from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. Sept. 8 in the Student Union Social Hall in which participants can make "comfort kits" and get involved in the Missing the Pack Project to decorate backpacks representing college students lost to suicide in New York State. Suicide prevention training wi.B be held from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. Sept. 10 in 210 Student Union.

So when he learned about a strange relationship between a common human protein and age-related macular degeneration-the leading cause of blindness among adults age so and older in the United States-he just knew he had to dig deeper into the mystery. What was so baffling were claims that a protein called apolipoprotein-E-4 (ApoE-4) acted as both a risk factor for Alzheimer's disease and a negative risk factor for age-related macular degeneration. In part due to his work on the topic, Fliesler, who earned his doctorate in biochemistry from Rice University, says researchers now are one step closer to unraveling the complex interaction of these risk factors. Using gene-altering techniques, he says his team found that mice producing apolipoprotein-E-4, which differs from other forms of the protein hy only two amino acids, exhibit stronger cone function, despite declining eyesight from other genetic and poasihly environmental factors.

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.

'06 ~~ I PRORL.E: WBFO's AUSON ZERO A rising radio star BY JULIE WESOLOWSKI She's only lived in Buffalo for a littleoverayear, but she's already one of the most influential people within the Westem N£!\'Y York music scene. Alison Zero-yes, that is her real last name-the talent producer and music reporter for two ofWBFO's c'Clectic music programs, "Buffalo Aven ues" and On the Border's "Wednesday Night Concerts," is beooming a familiar name to listeners of UB's NationaJ Public Radio affiliate and those interested in local music. Zero and her fiance moved to Buffalo last August after he was accepted as a student in the School of Social Work. A native Long Islander, she spent the past seven years in New York City as a publici>t for Girlie Action Media and Marketing, representing a number of perfom1ers1 among them Beth Orton, TI1ey Might Be Giants, Moby, Bright Eyes and Tite White Stripes. After relocating to Buffalo, Zero thought she'd have to give up a career in the music industry, but after only a month ofjob searching. she credits UB for giving her, as she puts·it, her dream job. · "UB gave me something that's just amazing." she says. "l luve what I did as a publicist, but this is such a nice fit Working in public radio, everyone's got heart and it's been a great experi· cncesofar." that during any given perfonnanre, students, faculty, staff and!""" residents pack the tl!<rseat theater, an indication of the overwhelming popularity of the radio program that started only about a year ago. A• talent producer for WBFO's "Wednesday Night Concerts," she finds mtt.;cians from around Western New York to feature during a live radio broadcast of a free weekly concert in UB's Allen Hall theater. Her background in music publicity has given Zero the unique perspective ofk"llowing where these bands are headed and how she can help them get to the next level of success. Zero is also a reporter for "Buffalo Avenues," WBFO's magazine-style performance radio program, where she and several otlter reporters visit venues. record sound and pro,ide a montage of audio for the weekly show. In this addjtional role, she exposes the \VBFO audience to national touring hlUsicians-an audience that, until recently, was accustomed to a mostly ja12.-and-blues format at the st~ttion. She believes it's important that the series also involves the UB t"Omruunity. "We're alwa}''S looking fonY"d~ to bring the university into what weare doing," she says. Which means '11terc's nothing really like these programs in Buffalo,'" she says. "I think you can feel the energy in the entire staff . enJOYUl& these new adventures." Beyond her enthusiasm for the local music scene, Zero has beoome a fan of Buffalo's other attributes, such as the city's affordability and the lower stress level. Thanks to last year's mild weather. e\'en the threat of a notorious Buffalo winter hasn't scared her or her fiance. And if she has her way, soon Buffalo will have even more musicians to feature on WBFO. "We've beoome spokespeople for Buffalo," she 52ys.

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.

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 differenc~ were defined by analyzmg brain scans of 795 MS patien ts and 101 healthy controls usmg conventional magnetic resonan~c amagmg (MRI ) tcl':hmques. plus more advanced non~onven ttonal MRI te..:hmqucs, )uch a~ diffusiOn wc1ghted imagmg and magnetization transfer amaging. Resultsofthestudywcn:presented n:ccntly at the annual meetmgofthe American Academy of Neurology. The research showed that MS in Antulov and colleagues =mined onsecutively 620 female and 175 male MS patients who were scm at women results in more atrophy of thr brain's white matter, the net ~ work of nerves that transpon messages to the various brain regions, while the condition m me:n appears to cause more atrophy in th~ brain's gray maner, the regions where mes~ sages are received and mterprcted Ronald Antulov is first author on th~ study.

All were: assessed using convmtional and nonconventional MRJ measures. "We found that atrophy of gray maner and central bram regions was more advanced in men. whilr atrophy of whu~ matter was more adva nced m women," satd Antulov The phenomenon was not observed m healthy controls ·· we thmk thest changes are anfluent.ed by a decrease tn sex hormones," Antulov saad.

In practice, UB discouroges such coUaboration. Let me cxplatn. STTR grants run in two phases, Phase I and Phase !I . Phase !lasts one year at an average funding of$100,000. Phase !I lasts two yean aod can be funded in the range of $750,000, but Phase I must havo been completed successfully before one can apply for Phase ll funding. The grants are split ~twttn the company and the academic collaborators at about 50-50. Managing that budget is when the problem arises. If the company gets $100,000, UB gets $50,000. Of this, the UB admmistration takes out overhead expenses. leaving $31,000 for the proj<Q. For the grant to be funded, the foculty member{s) must commit a sign1ficant amount of nme to the project-let's say 10 per- cent. With a faculty salary of S150,000, the project would be charged S 15,000 plw fringe benefits at 43 percent, or $21 ,000, leaving 10,000 to do the pro)cct. If a graduate stud~nt works on the proj«t, hiS or her salary, plus fringe, adds about $22,000. With tuition costs, th<re is a defidt of about S20,000 to do the sc-ience VB allows us to apply for a w;uver of the o~rh~ad costs and faculty salary, so the financial pohcy appears adJustable. So, tf I come up with an adea, and if I take th~ ume to find an industry collaborator, and af I take the nmc to wnte the grant to do the work, I then have to apply to UB to get the waJVer so I ha~ enough funds to carry out the project.

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.

" Far from replacing the many envuonmental voices on this campw, the Commince on Environmental Stewardship is reinforcing and coordinating all of the efforts of these groups, providing an omportant forum where all partici· pants can, lhrough thrir respective rcprescntanvcs, work together to hammer out the best possible path to climate neutrality," 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.

The crew malting "Encountering Attica" showed early taic.s to other law school students last sm1ester. And Miller took part in an assembly last fall at Bennett High School during which sbe showed puts of the documentary· in-progrtss to students in the law magnet program. Th< 5tudents, Miller soys, "were not completely unfamiliar witb the prison systrm." Which, for Miller, is exactly th< point of doing the proJccL "The more peopl< are put away for long, long periods of tim< with no thought to what they ar< going to be lilte wbcn they get out, th< more we harm the society they'r(> released to," uys Mill<r. "One of the reasons It 's so amportant to do thas proJect md study wba l,i going on m pnson '-' because prisons have an increas· ingly profound effec1 on every layer of society as we rely more heavily on them; we put so many people away."

" We found robust , systematiC and statistically significant differen ces between viewers and no nviewers of RTV in term s of the behavior mdice:; used here," Stdanone says, not mg that other ca tego ncs of telev1 :;1on vac-wing, likt news, fi cu on and cducattonal programmmg, were not related to uscn' onlmc bthav1or "Th1s study adds .1 un 1qu<.· pt"r ~pcd1vc J.n<.t several valuah le 111 Ci l[! ht5 to o ur undcrM.tndmg t1f people\ moli\Jllon tu partlupate Ill thc.- !>tX.:Idl Wd1. · he \JV' "Our rt<sedrch I!-. htundt:d on the prcnH!'It" thdt the ~.ontluenu· ol the n'lll~ populantv u! hoth RTV and Wd'l 2.0 arp lu.:.au ~.m.!<o h.u re,ulted m a fundamental shift in people's roles as media content consumers and producers,.. Stefanone says. The study used social cognitive theory as the thcorrtical foundation fo r a survey of 456 young adults, hypothesizing that they would find the positive relationship ~tw«n RlV consumption and bdlaviors ~licved to rdlcct the sy>t<mic proccs.sing of messages and ~havior modeled within the RlV genre. The researchers analyzed the amount of time subjects said they spent every day watching RTV, news , fiction and educational programming; the amount of time they were logged in daily ; the sizt of their onlin~: nttworks; the percentage of their friends not met face-to-face; and the number of photos they shared online. tefanont explains that wbile many users havt articulated social network sy>tems (SNS) that reflect thc::ir external social network. other u><rs have SNS fnmd networks that contam many propl< who they have not actually met or with whom thq h:wt• no external relationship ..

Stcfanone says that this study shows that motivations for wing social-networking sites can ~ explained in part by traditional mass media consumption. He notes that many questions remain, howcva, and that fu ture research should address how the contemporary ddinition of "friend" is changing. " Having a large social network on an SNS site can be construed as a sign of popularity and, conversely. as a sign of supcrficWity (e.g., " Fac<book whore" is a term for bbtant SNS status-scd<crs). In either case, a large friends hst unplies a large number of SOCial connections. even if many of those connections have littl~t social value m the tradJtional se:nse of fnend ship.

"Bacteria on the top (dorsal) surfaa of the tongue are the primary source of oral halitosis," said Clark.

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.

After the presentation, students asked CoUins questions ranging from taxes to the future of the Bills staying in Buffalo. Collins also answered a question about his Six igma busrncss management mod· d, whtch he called the "oomcntone" of hts elt'Ctton campilign.

Alfred Hammonds Jr., se.ruor project director at US's Center for lndwtrial Effectiveness, has been appointed as the county's Six Sigma director.

Colbert speaks 'the truth' BJ KEVIN FRYLING Staff Writ~r TEPHEN Colbert-«>m<dian, satirist and host of the award-winning televJ sJon show .. The Co lbert Report" -told a cheeri.ng crowd of fans, " I bring you lhe truth," during an appearance at UP on Fnday. Co lbert , whose political rel tvance has risen btyond his show through such events as a mo'k ca mpatgn for president and an infamous lampoon of President George W. Bush during th< 2006 White House Co rrespondents ' Assoctation Dinntr. spoke before a sold-out crowd in Alurnnt Arena JS lh< final sp<ilir rn UB's 2007-08 Distinguished Spc"akers Seri~. In his opening comments, Colbert dir<eted his sharpest jabs at his audimce, made up of primarily UB students, for its political apathy. "Whcrc:'s )'Our passion?" he asked. "You an: lhtyoung ptapleof Am<rica! Forty years ago, lhtchildrcn wtr< m the struts taking oVtt administration building>. They wtr< in tht streets of O>icago saying, 'Th< whole world is watching!'" Today's students are too bu5y bloggingabout political <V<nu to go out and protMt, he said. Pointing to an incidrnt last fall at the Universit)• of Flonda when campus stcurity used a tascr on a college student durmg a sp«ch by U.S. senator and former presidential candidate John Kerry, Colbert said everyone simply stayed in !heir seau"lookingboml." After talking .tbout the incident on Rtp011t'f S his show, he said a student who was at the evmt emailed to say· .. What wert we supposed to do? Th< polie< told us to stay seated." But Colbert also was =<ful not to let his own generation off the hook for its role in current affairs. " I was happy to get her< tonigbt JUSI to get a breather from the reaJ world,.. he said ... , don't know if you've noticed what's happened in the last four years since you came here. but the world's broken. We broke it Oh boy I fed bad." With the same combination of right - wing bluster and incisive political satire common on his televiston show, Colbert nffed on some of the major wurs facing the U.S., fTom illegal immigration"just to be saf<, we should probably dome the entire country'" -to the economy. .. I'm not going to say 'everything's fine' and give you a copy of'Oh, lhe Placcs You'U Go! ' when you graduate," he said . ..-The places you go migbt be Bangalor<, India, if you want a good job." Th< comedian also talktd about the ongoing prrsidential campaign by roa.sting not only the current presidential candidates, but also lhe pr<Sidential hopefuls who have dropped out of lh< rae<. Colbert called John McCain a '"maverick .. for .. launching a campaign for the presidency without money or perso nal appeal ... and Barack Obama's spe«h before thr 2()().a Ikmocratic National Convention a "histone moment" .unong Democrau .. b<-cause for many of them It was thr first time somrone cool was willing to talk to thtm." He also poked fun at Hillary Rodham Ointon for h<r aggr~ive campaign tactics, sug- gesting she's spent her .e.ntire life pursuing the pusidency. In temuofhisown shon-livtd run for presid<n~ Colbert said h< n<V<r ap<et<d lhe jok< to go on so long. " I never lhougbt it would go beyond seven days," he said. "At on< point. .. ! was polling at 13 percent an a nauonal poll. I \0135 ahead of !Christopher! Dodd and IDenmsl Kucinich and I Bill! Richardson And I was being sponsored by a nacho ch«~ tortilla chip. I'd say I kmd of won." That sponsorslup also brought ham close to legal trouble for violating campaign finanu reform laws, he added, noting that his network's lawyers were able to keep th< campaign aliv< only by taking advantage of loopholes in Federal EIKtion Commission rules. Colben, who rro:ndy ""n a Peabody Award on lhe strength of hJS tpisodes about hlS campaign for president, explain<d lhat when "The Col~rt Report " u at its ~t. it's about wing his character to "=body som< hypocrisy." ln lhis case. he "'ud, ··ovm~y grabbing for funding" " By wrappang the 1dea an nacho chcC'St dust . we dad sevC':n shows on campa1gn finance reform that people who were 18 wen willmg to wa~eh ," ht ~a 1d ..And that was what I wa~ most proud of-t hat we took a d1tli.cult subJtCt and we madt It palatable" .......... 5 Electronic:J:IItrhwav!

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 April 22, the entire UB community will ha~ a chance to sec and comment on those idea.s in an aU -day public workshop in the Center for the Arts Next fall, we will present a draft plan for further tomment and a year from now we will tum our fuU attt'nUon to implemenulion of the final plan. In r<ahty, though, we have been working on th1s plan since Prcs1dent Simpson firSt arrived here in 2004.

Simpson apptared b<forr thc Faculry Stna~ on Tuesday to talk"clearly and bluntly" about tht ongoing budgtt procoss in Albany and it.s implications for UB and for public highrr education across thc stat< of Nrw York. The unexpected resignation of form<r Gov. Eliot Spitzc:r, as wcU as ongoing debate and discussion among the: Ltgislaturc:: over the 2008-09 budgrt, suggrsts looming cuts for many state agencies, including SUNY, Simpson said. " It seems pretty clear that we, as pan of SUNY, will rrcciv< a budgrt cut," he said. "'The magnitude of that cut is uncertain , but I think I can say that it is clear to me: that this is not a year in which our budget will increase--it is a year which our general operating budgtt will dccrtast." "Considtrablc disagrttmtnt" tx· ists ovu how much money the state has to sptnd, hc add<d, noting that differences between the revenue forecasts of the executive: branch, Assembly and Senate, as well as various "maneuvers among state legislators, will influence the final funding o utcome for UB, even after passage of the budgrt. "These are important because what's propostd to b< spent-and therefore what enters the budget- P ,n also determinc::s on the other end what funds will bc availablr for capital construction planning and what funds will bc available to opcrationaJ enterprises, such as the University at Buffalo." he said. Y<t, wh.ilc Simpson said Spitzc:r's resignation and the lack of rnrmue m the stat< arc "anything but good things for this univmity; hc also cmphasiz<d that UB's long-term strategic planning process-in cluding thc idtntilication of strategic strtngths and crtation of UB 2020--began not just as a plan for physical growth, but as an acadtmic planning process largt.ly indrpendrnt of thc stat< L<gis.laturr. "I would not prdcr to go through all thc difficulties that wr'U liktly have to face this year if, in fact, our budget is cut-and cut by a substantial amount," he said ... But when it comes to tvents we can control ourselves--which is our strut of who we arc and whtrr wr'rr going and what wc'rr planmng to d~that rtmains utterly unaltrr<d by ovcnts that occur in Albany, and over the long term, I still ha'le as much optinusm and commttmc:nt for where this umversity IS headed as I did six months ago." In other bu s aness . Gera ld Schocnlr, chirf of universtry pohe< and chatr of the UB Personal afet)• Committ«, scrrtn<d "Shol'i Fin~d ." an instructional vidro produced by the Center for Personal Prottction & Safcry and recently purchased by'university pohcr to educatt faculty and staff about the appropriatt actions to take in case of a shooting on campus. Whilc thc chances of being killed by a shootc::r on a coUege campus arc far loss than bting struck by lightning. Scbatnlr said Univcrstry Policr still plan to incorporate thc vidw into a larger lesson plan for faculry and staff on how thcy can protect themselves and other.s in the rare irutanct of gun violc::nce breaking out on campus. In response to a request for feedback on thc vidro, Bonnie Ott, associate professor of architecture. School of Archittcturt and Planning, suggested Unjversity Police consider offering the presenta· tion to certain graduate students, as wcU as facultr and staff. She said she has had to refer sc::vera.l distraught students to counseling services over the course of 20 years of teachmg, including an mcident 10 whtch a graduate assistant uncovered a threat of suicide m a student essay " I Just wanted to bnng up to you that th1s ts a place wtthin our work envlronmrnt where we're: possibilIty at nsl," she s,a1d, notmg con cerns .about available resources for mstructors who fed one of their students require:s the assistance of a mtntal health profossional.

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.

Attracting the best students UB Engineering offers new incentives By UUH GOI.DIIAUM E6tor T'S an annual rite of spring: high school smiors discussing with their par<nts one of the ITl05t important decisions they &~where to attend college. Luke Scanndl from Schodack landing near Albany, now a freshman in the School of Engineering and Applied Sciences, rememben how he decided to come to UB. Scannell, who had participated m the Science Olympiad in high school, was sun ht wan ted to pursue engineering. but be wasn't Contribuung I sun where. During his visit to UB last spring, he was imprcsnd with its environmental engineering laboratories, as well as the school's Internationally known Structural Engineering and Earthquake Simulation Laboratory. Then he found out that UB Engi neering had something extra in mind for him: thC' Dean's Scholars Program, wnich rewards academically talented applicants scholarships, as well as 'tpecW academic and net working opportunities, as long as a student maintains a gradc-poant avcragC' of atlcas1 3.0. ~ . four - year That, Scanncll says, made Ius d<casion easy: He would attend UB. With cost a major factor in the great majority of collcgC' d«1sions, the Dean's Scholars Progrun, institutC'd in 2007, is designed to attract and rC'tain the best and brightest applicants, says US Engineering room, board and fees , totaling approximately $15,300 for in-stotc students and $21,600 for out-ofstole students. In its inaugunl year, the 24 freshmen altering UB last fall as Dean's Schobrs had an average SAT score of 1433, collectively boosting the average UB engin eering fresh man SA'IIItore by 20 points. They graduated at or near the top of their high school dasses. "These students ar• deciding between UB and schools like Cornell, Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute and Rochester Institute of Technology." says Stenger. "We want tb•m to know that in addition to the scholanhip, they'rt going to r<ceivc ~rsonal attention once they get here. Students in this program have a dose relationship with the profe$$0rs and administrators in the engineering school." That relationship doesn't end after orientation, Stenger notes. All 24 freshmen in the UB Engineering Dean's Scholars Program arc Stenger's advis«S during the critical first ~ar. Throughout the academic yC"ar, Dean's Scholars also arc involved in various social and networkmg events, ancluding'dinners with the dean. Last &U, they visited the GM PowerTrain plant, took the Miss Buffalo cruise on Lake Ene and attended with their parents a V-Day at UB The handprints and signatures of members of the UB community who denounce violence INik a window of the Student Union in support of V-[My, a global ~t to end violence against women and girls. tailgate party hosted by the dean at the US-Toledo football game. ThtS spring. the group will take m a Buffalo Bisons baseball game, tour Northrop Grumman-Am · hcrst Systems and visat Fisher-Price an East Aurora "We ar< doing these things to anchor the students. to let them get comfortable and to give them the opportunity to do their v•ry best at UB." Stmger says.

We watched and critiqued 6!nu, talked about the power of the medium, looked at political ads and the distortions. Eventually, the studenU wanted to make fllms. But it was hard . We used a hand-cranked editing gizmo with a ~ed razor blade you pushed down 10 cut 8 mm filmstock and tape it back together. No tnnsitions, no special effects. no sound.

One of them (DiSessa) says the cmcrgenct of the computer is a onet•·in-scveraJ-cenruries in nova uon that has changed the way we hve, learn, thin£. and work. One dramatic change has been a move from print only to visually centered commumcation. You only n~d to th mk of USA Today and Web pages to see how amages dominate. The New York Ttme5 and Th~ Wall Street /oumal don't look Lhe way they used to, ~en if we don't go to their onhnt' versions that include streaming vtdeo.

Graphic novek, Web pages. music masha, video---til of these and more appear in students' n e-ryday lives ouuide of sdlool. A growmg body of research shows that these millmnial studenu who hove ne-ver known a world without computeT. and the lnkrnet hove dneloped all kinds of lOCial lit eracy practices in these activities. The problem is, they know how 10 make 5m5e of and to make digital taU-but most often th<y don't have opportunities to uK those skills and strategies in sdlool. In too many dassroolllSt students are being prepared for the print-only industrial, clerical world of the late 1800s and 1900s. It's probably no ~~rise, then. that a 2006 nation surv<y of studenu showed that only 28 percent of graduating l<TIJors felt that what they learned in high school was meaningful and useful in their lives. This has declined rapidly ov<r the past two decades. How does the renewed e:m phasl• on writing ddlls fit Into your communication model? Where does print fit In 7 Print will always be with us. For example, in digital video composing, students make storyboards or write movie proposals, both with print-text narratives. They write and perform voice-o ver narra uons. They write reflections on the process of malc.ing and showmg videos They make wntten critiques of other students' movies. \\'hat 's more, we' ve found that making a digital vtdeo devdops dc:cp understaB._ding of curncuJar content. Students focus so intent1y on the question, the book and the co ncept while they are plannmg, dramatizing, filming, editing and sc reening that the knowledgC' see- ms to bC' embodtcd tn them. In state tests aimed at measuring thc1r abiJity to interpret text and to wrne. tht'y choose to wntc about the hterature- they made movu~ ~ about. And they do very well on those tests.

Here's my favorite story: Two suecc:ssful students designed a movie on Jim Crow laws in social studJes class.

"There is a larg~ nud in thi s country for pwple who can com · municate scienc~ to the public and ~ducate them on how scie.nce works," says John R.

" We're trying to develop expertise among students who can analyze and commu.nicatt fie.lds of science to anyon~ dSt" who may not have a backgroWld in thoSt sa <ncc:s," says Shook. "The students have to be able to d<al with how scientific research works . Then they have to be able to explain scientific facts in a simpler way, as we:U as explain tht practical value of their scientific knowledge." The cutting-edge nature of the Sci~nc~ and tht Public program extends beyond its cour~ content. The two-year program is offered exclusively onlin~; part-time S1u· dents enrolled in the program include those living in France , l rtland, A.rizona and ev~n one involved in experiments at a fie.ld station in the Caribbean. " It's a unique program, one l haven't been able to find anywhere else." says stud<nt Rich Blundell. founder of Omniscopic Productions, a company that produces scie:nce programming for national media outlets. "Science is so broadly Impo rtant for all the issues we're facmg. Some of these ossues clearly will be solved by scicnc~ .

He says the un<krlytng philosophy behind the scientific outlook is an essential part of the curriculum . .. There is an ethical stance of how we tre:at the environment and how we ueat ourselves and each other," says Blundell, who is scheduled to graduate from the program in June. "This perspective em~rgcs from what sci<11ce has taught us. So it 's not jus£ echnology that eme:rges from sc1~nc~ ; ther~ is an ~th1c about our place in the cosmos, as well. It's fascinating. It changes your world view, really.· Tht online compon~nt comes from UB's efforts to establish offcampw int~ractive learning, says Shook. " We're hoping to attract st ud~nts from all across America and thr world. Sci~nct' and the Publtc is a natural program to fulfill that desire." Begun in the fall of 2006, th< program offers courses design~d to give students background in the history and philosophy of science, including the scientific method , critical thinking, statistical analysis, ethics, the re.lationsh1p of scimce to human values and research me-thodology.

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.

Yu-Che ng Ou, a postdoctoral associa te in the Depa rtment of Civil, Structural and Environrnm · taJ Engineering who has served as a men tor to UB students partic:i· pating in the competition for the past three years, says th at one of the most important elements of the event is that it provides engineer ing studen ts with a hands-on project through wh ich they can experience the real~world appli- cation of the knowledge they've acqwred rn the clusroom.

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.

Citing UB's report to tbc National Scicnu Foundation's annual Sun-q of Research and o..dopmcnt Expcnditurcs at Univonitics and Colleges, I<* said !~at OYcrall research • apcnditures ha.., increased at UB, rising &om $258.9 million during the 2004 fiscal year to $314.8 million in the 2007 fiscal year. "Where we would like to be in the future is in the top half of the public AAU universities in terms of research apcnditurcs," he said, notmg that one of US's top goals IS to achieve national and inlr.mauonal recognition for innovative research in its strategic-strength areas as defined by the UB 2020 ..::omprehensive plan. The greatest supporter of re search at UB is the federal government , which provides nearly SO percent of aH research dollars, he •dded In stitutiOnal investment IS the second greatest so urce of fund.s-30 percent- with tndustnaJ partners and state and local fund s contnbuting 6.8 and 4.5 percent, respectivdy. In terms of fedcnl funding. J<* said tlat more tlan 64 pcr.c:cnt of UB'a total research investmenu come from the Department of Health and Human Servica. The next greatest source of federal research grants is the Department of Defense (DOD) atl5.3 pcrccot, foUowcd by tbc National Scicncc Foundation (NSF) at 8.8 percent. UB's greotcot source of research funding---the National Institutes of Health--cpcrimced a pca1t in support to fund research during the 2005 fcdcnl budget, he added Other agencies, such as the NSF and DOD, also have seen declines as part of a general decrease in federal research funds-from a little more tlan S60 billion in 2004 to about $56 billion in 2007. "The inV<stmcnt that the U.S. is making in research has gone down significantly," los~ said, .._ich means it's going to be harder to get funded, harder to increase research expenditures in the future." In the nonscience and enginttring fields, Jo~ said UB's research expenditures have oscillated between approximately SIO million in 2004 and $9 million in 2007. Programs such as the UB 2020 Interdisciplinary Research Devdopmcnt Fund and UB 2020 Scholan Fund were created to bclp scientists weather pcr;ods during wbich outside funds arc unavailable, added J<*. who encouraged faculty to concentrate on interdisciplioary projccu and emerging areas of inves-tigation, such u rq;eneratiw- medicine, in order to survive an increasingly compcritive research environment. •we are trying to emphasize interdisciplinary raearcb b<caust many of the significant problems we' re trying to solve in the 21st century require the aputisc of people in dilf~t fields in order to man progress," he said. "Problems like aging. chronic diseases, climate change and the energy problem are not going to be resolved by being a chemist or a physicist or a medical doctor. We haV< to ha.. contnbutions &om people from different areas of research and it's being recogniz.cd by the funding ap ies." In other business, Kathie Frier, di· rector of wcllncss and worlt-lik balaoce, presented a ptogf!55 report on activities related to the university's new focus on employee wdlness.

Among all New York state pohce agenc1es, 123 police deparunmts and sheriffs' offices haw successfully completed the process. This ~resents only 20 percent of all New York state police agencies. The program aims to mcrea~ the eff~ness and efficiency of New York state law enforceme:nt agcncits by utilizing existing personnel, equipment and focilities; promoting increased coopuation and coo rd ination among law cnforument and criminaJ-justice agencies; ensuring appropriate training of personnel; and adopt ing best-practices policies and procedures that meet mandatory standards. Agencies participating m the accrcditation p rogram must meet or excted I 30 standards in adminis tration, training and ope:rations. Accreditation is awarded fol lowing an on-site asse-ssment by an independent tram of assessors.

In concrast, he noted , the BioSlower immediately kills any and aU airborne biological pathogtns and only electricity is needed to power the rotary air pump, whicb drives the blower. BioBlower units can be installed as a permantnt part of a building's air-bandling systtlll. The technology also has poten· tial appUcations in health care and hospital settings to ensure a sterile envi ronment.

The BioBlower technology moved out of UB's laboratories and into the commercialization phas• thanks to funding from several sources, including th• U.S .

Manuel. director of athlet· 1cs, is one of 25 lndividuals selected by Street and Smith Sports Busmess Journal to be among its national "Forty Undtr 40 " award winners honoring the best and brightest executives in the sports business industry under the age of 40. Manuel becomes just the fifth college admin istrator to earn the d.signation in a pool of l32 hono rees over the nine years that the magazine has compiled the list. The selection also gives UB athletics an unpreudentcd pairing, as Anucha Browne-Sanders. senio r associate athletics director and senior woman administrator. was honored in 2002 while with tht New York Knick.s. Among other Western New Yorkers, only Russ Brandon, cbief operating officer of the Buffalo Bills (honored in 200 I ) has made the list Manuel. who in his three ynrs as director of athltticsat UB has led the Bulls' program to several nationaJ honors, will receive the award on March 14 in Beverly Hills, Cali( .. \Vhile I accept this award on behalf of UB, I also accept it on be· half of our truly outstanding staff, coaches and student -a thletes that 1 work with every day in the Division of Athletks,.. Manuel said. "President lohn Simpson ha s given us the opportunity to earn success on the competitive fields of play of Division I athletiCS and th.as award is a by-product of has commitment , in the hands of professionals who are working atrcmely hard to put UB's athletics p rograms on the national landscape," said Manuel. " I continue to be excited about the future of UB's athletics programs within the scope of President Simpson's tremendous vision for our uniVersity with UB 2020." Pratsing Manuel for earning the honor and, in tum , bringing rec ognition to the un.ivcrsiry, Simpson noted: "This is a great and weU deserved achievement for Warde. Since his arrival at UB. Wardr has embodied the best of our approach to cxccUence in aU wt do. "When it comes to our scholarathletts. and the cntin: UB athletics team , Warde sets hts apectations high-m the classroom and on the field---and thtn ftnds creative ways to help people acluev< them," Simpson added honor is a rdlection of that hard work and integrity." Sine< joining UB, Manud has in· creased the focus on academics by ··nus creating a new study ce nter, quadrupling the investment in tutorial support and doubling the number of computers available to student-ath· letes. Last fall , UB WARD{ J. achieved the highest average cumulativr - - - - - - - - - - - ' GPA since 2004 and the second highest since joining The women's tennis team and the the Mid-American Conference in men's soccer team have advanced to 1999.

For a depressing experience on campus, go down to the undergraduate library in Capen Hall. In the n~y renovated grouodftoor lobby, 10me of the couches face the wall-the one where n~y acquired boolu were once displa~n which a flat-screen TV eduutes students with round the -dock cable news . Past the couches and th< ch<ek-out counter is the computing swutshop, wher< anxiow students with backpacks get IS-minute shifts, jostling each other at sland-up work stations. Take the stain down to the basement and, ya, there an books there. But all the activity is at large tables, where, as is nonnaJ enough, students an: poring over assignments and p<eking away at laptops. Th< aiSles between the stacks are vacanL As I find from a cursory survey this morning, not one book is being consulted from the collection. _., Wandoring by the shdves, I se< hardly any books from thi s cen - tury, and none more recent than 2004 At tht v<ry place wh<r< our UB dropped a 76-S6 dec:is.on at Aleron on Slwrdoy fliltl< Aleron used che~­ U>iuodvwl-.with 13a/20I\old pb con,;nl from be)o>nd che an:.

Not that an old coUcct10n IS bad, but that it needs some groommg. some culling and some rcjuvC"nallon 1f at's to rcma.m ap~ng lf our hbrary now mspun me at all, It's to Icam how It dcsctndcd m to such a dtshcvdcd condition My first 1mpulsc as to th1nk that, as th e stgns brag, u's now a "'cybrary"' not library, and the money has gonr for cyclops screens mstead of books. But th<n , l know that plenty is still spent on that quamt technology bctwetn covers, and many arcant t1tles, dutifully o rdertd from academ1c publtshers, arrive on ca mp •1s each ytar-so why do they not find their wa\• to th1s particular basement? best and most enduring, whcthtr among novelists or philosophers. The making of such a collectiOn is daunung. It's all the more so in o ur tim e, when many of our faculty members have acquiesced to the'Poltticizauon of knowledge and are unsure how to identify, or don't even trust m the existence of, the endunng and the excellent. If we had such a Ubnry, it's where I would go to browse, discov<r and savor books so written that I would be able to follow them through the twtSts and turns of argument, even if, as is highly likdy, I have nc~r taken a coUegC' cour~ on tht subJect That, too, is why the col ~ lection h.s to b< of books. What 's marvclm.u about them b not that they're made of paper, <lS the no!.talgK persiSt 111 thtnkmg. but that to wind my way through acres of hyper-sp<eialized volumes. It's also where I would lik< to find the they'~ still tk only practical way to engage ideas at fuD length. The most ouuunding books, th< on.. that m<rit some struggle, can r<Shape one's very mode of thinking and change one'slifr. To have a relationship that intense a nd that satisfying with a book, we have to make a com- mitment to stay together long enough to pass through some difficult times together. Th~k is, therefore. an engagement, not a date. When w< meet, we should b< in a place where we can sip ideas and bathe in articulated knowledge Instead ofhaving to slurp data and surf sitC'S. To become intimate, we need time, patitnct, privacy and an environment conducive to them That environment is the library The library I have t.n mmd ts not particularly for undergraduates, though they're mvitcd too, but for aU of us who want to take some time on a snowy day to rendezvous with our intellectual h<ritag<, and not spend our college years twitching and jerking across wastelands of blinking information . If the old name i5 too bland, ~ can give it a cool, new one, say Planet Poly· math or Bibliophilia.

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.

Conference to honor McCombe By ELLEH <OOLDilAUM Contributmg Editor OME of the world 's big ~ gcst names in condensed maner physics, including two Nobel laureates, are converging on Western New York March 6-B to celebrate the scientific contributions-and the birthdayof Bruce D. McCombc, dean of the Co Uege of Arts and Sciences and SUNY Distinguished Professor in the Department of Physics. ·" Magnetic Excitations in Semicond uctors: Bridges to the Next Decade," a two-day scientific conference at the Ramada Hotel and Co nference Center in Amherst , is being held to honor McComb< and the scientific-and highly collegial-<:ollaborations he has organized over the years, both at UB and around the globe. More than 20 outside speakers will ancnd, focusing on topics ranging from quantum co mputatiOn S to spintronics and nanotuhes to photonic crystals and magnetism. Nobel laureates who will attend mclude Horst StOrmer, professor of physics and applied physics at Columbia Universaty, and Klaus von Klitzing, a director of the Max Planck lnstitutr for Solid Stat< Physics in Stuttgart, Germany. The event will be attended by leading scien tists in the field, many of whom arc colleagues or former students and postdoctoral researchers of McCombc. "O ne of the many remark ~ able things about Bruce IS that throughout has career he ha s been an integra! forn m defin ing, stretching and redefining the field of magnetic excttatlons in se:miconductor hcterost ructures," noted Satish K. Tripalha, provost and executive vice prcsadent for academ1c affaus. " Has body of work reads as a chronology of disciplinary break ~ throughs, spanning from fundammtaJ research in spin-dependent phenomena in semiconductors to the development of new spintronic technologies that have the potenti41 to replace silicon-based electronics and/or enable quantum computmg. This chronology is furthrr highlighted by the many doctoral and postdoctoral students who are now, m their own right, acda1med faculty and researchers. "What is absolutely stunmng ls that throughout much of Bruce's tenure , he has taken on-quite deftly-semor academic leadership positions,'" Tnpatha added ... Evtn today, as dean of US's CoUege of Arts and Sctences, Bruce as an active reSc.-archer .rnd a key figure m the evolunon of thl.S exciting field."

Rank-and- file party members had no rral involvemcnt. Durmg the 20th century, a movement arose to givr rank-andtile voters mo re of a say in how nominees are selected. This led to t.he present -day system of direct primaries, m wh1ch all members of a poliucal part y are invited to vote for th~didate they prefer as the party's nommee. The outcome of a pnmary election in any givrn state dctmnines which candidate will be supported by that sute's delegates to the national party convention. These delegates are "pledged" in the sense that they agree to support the can didate who wms their state's primary decuon The Democrats, howrvcr, also have created a dass of ''s uperdtlc ga t e~ ."

Carlette Daniels, who co-founded the Girt.

HIV stigma from health care providers By LOIS IIAIWI Contributing Editor HE doctor who wouldn't com~ into the patient's hospital room. The neu rologist who avoided eye contact. The ambuJancr at tendant who angrily threw her bloodied gloves into the st reet after learning the injured patient was HfV-positive. Tht!:SC arc reactions of some ht!:alth care personnel when faced wi th caring for persons infected with the human immunodeficiency virus (HJV) more than 25 years after its discovery. The cxpc:rimccs arc docwncnted in a study headed hy LanceS. Rintamaki, assistant professor of comm.unication and hnlth behavior in the College of Arts and Sciences, and published recently in the journal AIDS Pntirnt Care and STT)j, "This study reveals th< variety of such problematic events," said Rinfamak.i, ..as wdl as the consider· able array of health care peroonnel listed by participants in this study. Clinicians should have the training and common scnst to avoid a lot of these behaviors, but perhaps we shouldn 't be surprised when hearmg about nonclinicaJ staff caught up tn these events. Thry're likely T relying on the same stereotypes and muinfonnation abou t HIV that art commonplace among the general public, which may lead them to ad in fearful and stigmatizing ways toward HJV-positive patients." Perso ns inf<eted with HJV must spend considerable time in the presence of health care p~rson· ncl in dealing with their dist!:ase , and c:xp~riencing stigma can be discouraging. They have labeled dealing with stigma the most significant social and psychological challenge of the HJV experience. Rintamaki said the handful of existing studies of HrV stigma in health care settings have focused mostly on one type of health care personnel, such as doctors or nurses. and have documented their self-reported attitudes rather thao the actual experiences of patients on the receiving end of tho.st at· titudes. Those few who have tned to document the frequency of such events have failed to describe the specific behavior>, he noted. To take this next step. Rinramakl and colleagun recruited a convemence sample of 50 pt:eplc seen at three Veterans Adrnm1strauon hospitals m the Midwest. The study was conducted 10 phases. Eight of th e volunteer) aplaincd their aperit!:ncc.s with stigmatizing behavior in health care settings in two focus groups. Researchers then incorporated these data into one·on--cne recorded intervi~s with the remaining 42 participants. Interviews were transcribed and experiences were coded and categorized by type of stigmatizing behavior that study participants experienced most often in tht!: presence of h~alth care personnel. These categories were lack of eye contact; assuming physical distance; using disdainful voice tone or inflection; asking confrontational qut:stions; showing irritation, anger, nervousness. ft!:ar or panic; taking excessive precautions; scaring, mocking, blaming or ignonng patients; providing substandard care or denying care; and being generally abusive. Scvt!:ral participants reported only posit1vt t!:Xpt!:riences with health care providt!:rs, while others reported apencncmg stigma m a vanety of h~alth 'arc scnmgs by a variety of provtders.

Gender inequality in a land of democracy ~ American politics, tax law are influenced.. by outdated notions of the family By CIIAltlU ANZALONE Contributmg Ed1tor A MERICAN. politics and federal tax law draw on outdated notions of the Amrncan family that continue to promote gender inequality and undermine the middle class, according to a UB Law School professor.

That project, "Buffalo: A City as a Park; is one of eight proj<ets cited by the Institute of lnt<ma· tionaJ Education in its 2008 Andrrw HciskcU Aword Comp<1ition for Innovation in International Education. Three universities were named winners of the award and five others, including UB, received honorable mention in the prestJgious international competition. The InternatiOnal Comparative Urbal'\ Planning Studiatvolvcd 13 students and was led by Wil ham Page, professor in the school's Department of Urban and Regional Planning. and Niraj Verma, profcssor and chair of the department. Also participating -.c 10 students and a profcasor from Stuttgart's urban planning program. UB participants attended the '"Green and Growing Summit .. held by the Community Foundation for Greater Buffalo last May to assess and plan for the "rctm:· -mg" ofW<stcm New York after the previous October's storm. They thm travded to Stuttgart to study Cit\ the gr«n mfrastructun of a typical European oty, which they found to be life-affirming and supponiw of mcnsiv< social intcnction and as< of travd among all age groups. The German planning students then came to Buffalo to aamin< the city's aisting park system, landseal"' p1aru and storm damage. The two groups ofstudents conducted a series of worluhops through which the Buffalo gr«n infrastructure proposal .... dcvdoped. "1'h< project cdcbratcs the resil- ience and community spirit of Buffalo," says Page."Its main goal was to mgage, what was by any aa:ount, a disaster and ddinc how this could be dcvdop<d into entrepreneurial energy aimed at malcing the city a better place to live and incr<as< its <ntreprencurial growth," he says. Verma adds: "While 'grccnmg' and 'park' arc the ' lcitmottf of the sturuo, the student planners gave equal attention to the ana economy and the nature of the variow com- munities that ma~p ou.r city. Indeed, these may be the ultunat< aims of this grand vision of the students." In f:oct, the students engaged m widespread consultation with a brood swath of community lead=, mtreprencun, business represent•· tMs, sd>OOls and dcvdopcrs ofcommunity gardens and block duhs. Their efforts resulted in a project report that was funded by the Community Foundation for Greater Buffalo and the German Academic Exchange S<rvic<.

Westbrook's work lS a depanure from tradiuonal corporate law books, which typically use statutes, cases and other texts to present the law as an object, if sometimes a tool of "policy."

She was married to the late Frank CordeU, musicaJ director of EM I, and the late John McHale, the groundbreaking artist considered thr father of the Pop Art movemenL Kathryn Foster, professor of urban and regional planning and director of the Regional Institute, worked with McHale for several years and called her "truly one of a kind; a unique personality, opinionated and totally direct, worldly wise and known for her tremendous forethought-a big thinker who decades ago brought a deep knowledge of globalism, interzenerational shifts in thought and culture, and the impact of new technologies long before the r<st of us began to consider them. These are the issues that informed her life," Foster said. "Magda was a professor emerita wbo never att<nded coU<ge. This would be atremdy difficult today. but she demonstrated to aD of us how thinking outside the canon, its tools and methods can enrich and deeply inform academia. "She was devoted to h.r department, and with the deepest genu- osity promoted our understanding of its history and the unique personalities who shaped it," she said. .. In all of her years at UB, she ntver mi»<d a faculty meeting and to the end rcmaintd in touch with forma students and they With her. She was deeply appreciated by aD of us and will b< <lo<ply, deeply mi»<d." In 1946, McHale was a regular figure at London's newly formed Institute of Contemporary Art.s, which was and is devoted to nontraditional, anti·academic artistic expression and helped launch Pop Art, Op Art and British "brutalist" art and architecture. A few years later, she, Cordell and John McHale were among the founders of the Independent Group (IG), an tnOuential British collaborative that grew out of a fascination with American mass culture, post-World Wu II tech nologies and the post-war British aesthetics of plenty. Throughout the 1950s and 1960s, McHale explored her interest in the creative processes and bodily iconography in a series of large-scale, monumental paintings and mixed-media monoprints that were ahibikd in major galleries. Distinguished architectural critic Rayner Bartharn, also a m<rnber of the UB faculty, included a photograph of her painting "Fig="(1955) in hisartide"1be New Brutalism" in Archittctural !!Mew in 1955. Today, her work is hdd in several major public collections, induding the Tat<, London and the Albright-Knox art gaDenes. McHale spent decades research mg and writing about the long· rang< consequences of social, cul· tural and technological chang< on global societies. She was a fellow of the World Academy of An and Science. and past vice president of the World Futures Studies F<d<ration In cd<bratinn of this legaey, she endowed the McHale FeUowship in the School of Arcbit<Ctur< and Planning in 2000 to suppon design work that involves speculation on the impact of new technologies on architecture. Her books included " Facts & Trends: Tbe Changing Information ~nment; An Information Char!book" ( 1985 ), "Ominous Trends and Valid Hopes: A Comparison of Five World Reports" ( 1984) and, with John McHale, "Basic Hum~n Needs" (1978) , " Futures Directory" (1977) and "Women in World Terms: Facts and "funds" (1975).

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 coUection is the completely intcrrtlatcd map of the ovolution of po<try in English, beginning in 1900. All po<U are bound to each other by their po<try, and their po<try develop• in form, style, material, philosophy and opinion in relation to, or in comparison and conuast or re5ponse to, all other poetry. It is the fantastic interconncctcdncu that the collection pr<S<nU. Imagine the family tr« of po<try, and that is the imag< of the Poetry CoUection. Every facet is interrdared and aH faceu, all indi_viduals or movts, typ<s, styles, etc. are equal in importance to the whole of poetry. The Poetry Collecuon began 1937 under the direction of Charl<S D. Abbott. The collec· lion's first mandate was-and rcmams-to collect first cd1tions of books of poetry published m English beginnmg m 1900 with· out preJudice. To collect without preJUdice means to collect books and recordings of poetry 10 all forms and con temporary tradi · uons/schools, from all various communities of poets and from all Enghsh-spea.kmg coun tnes For example, broadstde~. chap· books, poem-cards. mail art, ''' sua! poetry. underground poetry and poetry publication~ from Canada, Australia. New Zealand, Ireland. Fngland Jnd South Af. nca are all wuhm the collc"'ng parameters. Subsequent and spr· ctal ltmued editions of books of poetry arc added to the collccuon to main tam poetry's authoritanve bibliographiC record 10 The little htcrary magazine collection 10 the Poetry Collec · tion is parallel to the first-~iuon collection . Th1s facet focuses on cntreprencunal l1terary magaztncs While 1nsti tu11onally suppo rted magazines are a part of the lucrarymagazine collection, tha.c utJcs are secondary to its primary considcration. In this manner, emerging poets are captured throughout then car~crs : in thtir earltcst little magazine appearances. 10 more institutional penodicals, mono· graphic chapbooks, critical works and, u1timatcly, 10 canomcal or small·prcss antholog1cs The Poetry Collecuon's manu sc npl collections primarily follow thc moderniSt line, bcg1nn1ng wnh James Joyce:, Wyndham Lew IS. Ezra Pound and WiUtam Ca rlos Williams, and the magazmc!. and presses that support the evolution of progresstvc, expenmental and annovativc pol·try The Poetry Collect10n also t:ollccts the luer· ary culture of Western New York m the form of pubhcauons and small press, little maga:une and art organization archtvcs, and manuscript collcct1on.s. In addition, the Poetry Collecuon support> the research potmtial of iu coUections through the acqu.iJi tion of boob and matcrials in diverse formats of criucism, affiliated books and material, an authoritative coUection of poetry anthologies, artisu' books and works of art related to poets. rcalia, and ephemeral items. In total, the collection gathers all 11 might of the evolving world of poetry in order to preS<nt the most aact image of that evolving world and to rcflict the intent and direction ofiu histoncal and new collections. How many plece.s •re In the collectlon7blt Jwt -try? At this lime there are I 10,000 first editionsofbooks and monographs of po<try beginnmg in 1900, and more than 7,000 broads1des in the collection. There are more than 5,000 runs of Hule lncrary magazmcs. There arc more than 100 umquc manuscnpt collec· uons, mcludmg the manuscnpts of Jam es Joyce, Wyndham uwJS, John Logan, Robert Graves, Clark Cooltdgc, Ted Enslin, Kenneth Rexroth. Mtchael Palmer. John Montague, Robert Kelly. Helen Adam, Basil Bunung, the archives of the Jargon Socoety, Kayal magazme, lntreprd magaz1nc. Alchcrmga maga1me. The \Vortn · wood Revrew, Score magazmc and the arch1vc of The Lost and Fouud Tm1e.s . The coiJC'CUon also holds the archives of Hallwalls Contemporary An Center and the Just Buffalo Literary Center. The list goe:s on, and it soon will be detailed, defined, explained and explored on a new Web site that we expect to have operational by m1dyear Smce we are a research library, the collection has not forgonen 115 obligation to scholarship. We also coUect books of critimm that deal with 20th-century poetry in English to illuminate the poetry and promote the understanding of creativity The study or under· sta nding of how a poem gets from the po~t 's mind to tht pnntcd page in a book and onto • shelf 1s a fascmaung journey and that odyssey ts tmporlant. We collect smaJl-prtss archiVes that 1ndude the bwiness and prinung records of the press The collection, again 10 It enurety, IS a resea rch and cdu a· uonal tool , and resource to the understanding and the prolif<ration of po<try. And I must add that some poets arc critics and some art novelisu and some art also pamters or mw1cWls, and all of their acuvity is of significance to th<ir poetry.

How The advent of onhne publishmg ha.s affected po<try and, hence, the Poetry CoUect1on. There U much more fine press printing bctng done and more umque po<try being published in forms that can't simply be transformed to a digital format. Publkation runs arc becoming sma!le:r and more pc:rsona.J and regional. Poetry is giV<On aw-•y and that makes it hard to coUect. The economics of poetry publishmg means that hard -cover poetry books are bring produced without dust jackets. Therefore, blurbs, author bios and pictures only appear on paperbound copies. This presents a problem for a first edition collection like ours that has alw.ays acquired hard-bound books. When our new Web si te goes live, mdeus or variow comple:xities will be made available. Access to manuscripts will always be somewhat problematic b«ause of copyright issues and complex literary estates. That satd, our goal is to make as much accessible as quickly as we can. We cat~og, order and index with the scholar's purpoS< in mind and the way that scholar approach<~ po<try. This " an item-by-item approach.

Pioneered by Motorola and General Electric and aimed at virtuaUy eliminating defecu from processes involved in manufacturing and servi~ organizations, the Six Sigma methodology is one of the most populilr quality programs being foUowed in the corporate workplace today. The program that TCIE tm. ,emcrued at Saint Vmcent consisted of various initiatives.ancluding Su: S1gma training for more than 100 managers and staff. with extensive on-site support and mentoring from TOE trainers throughout the 20-month project. It also featured the development of simulations of round -the-dock emergency department funct1on s by a faculty-student team from UB's Dq>artment of Industrial and Systems Engmetrmg. The s1mulat1ons can function as a plannmg tool for hospttal administrators. who can adJuSt them to reflect vanous staffing and operational s.cc-narios. and to help identify pou:nual ilrtas of improvement.

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 rcsult, he said, would be a transformation of New York's pubhc higher education system into one of the best in the country and the creation of pre-eminent SUNY flagship universities at UB il!ld Stony Brook. "Education IS the kryi"o our future," Sp1tzcr sa1d. "We all embrace the 'ore nouon that we wtll be ablt to compete only if we arc smaner. taster and more nunblc than those elsewhere in the natton ." The proposed endowment would be funded by revenues from the New York State Lottery and would provide at least S200 million a year to public higher education Spitzer called the UB 2020 plan to grow the umversity and spur the local economy an objective to which the stat< could aspire to for how to "jump-start" the New York economy. "This S4 billion will begin to invest in UB 2020,"he aplained, transforming the university as well as the City of Buffalo. A key to that transformation, Spitzer noted, would be investment in UB's downtown campus and bringing 8,000 faculty, staff and students downtown to revitalize the city's core and make UB the "centerpiece of Buffalo.• Pruident john B. Simpoon, who introduced Spitzer to the crowd. said the endowment fund was a "smart idea." that would shelter SUNY funding from the es of th• annual stat< budget pro- cess. .. We arc honored that Gov.

While the lectures are geared toward high school students, the general public, as well as UB faculty and staff, are encouraged to attend. The series i.s designed to "get the public to visit campus, relate with the faculty and get an idea of what cutting-edge ra<2I'Cb really means," says Michek Bewley. assist2nt director of the Humanities Institute who organized the series. "Tbe series bas encouraged people in the Buffalo area to take pride in UB and see it as 'their university.'" About 1,000 students from more than 40 different Western New York high schoob bav<: participated in the series and in a Poetry Contest also sponsored by the Humanities Institute. Thi.s year's Cutting Edge Lecture Series will open on Feb. 23 with a presen tation by Mark Frank. associate professor in the Department of Communication, entitled "Detecting Deception in the Age of Terrorism." Prank's scholarly work focuses on the detection of involuntary facial .. microapressions"' that may indicate a person i.s being deceptive. His research is useful in detecting potential teJTOrists at security checkpoints.

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.

Terry D. Connell, prof<Ssor of mtcrobiology and immunology m the Witebsky Center for Microbial Pathogenesis m the School of Medicine and Biomedical Scien=. developed and patented the LT- IIa and LT-IIb enterotoxms and their respective mutant proteins as new mucosal adjuvants, or "boosters," that can enhance tht potency of existing and future vaccines. Connell and olleagues published five papers m 2007 describmg their advances. Theirs as the only research group m the SCicn ttfic community mvestigaring thC' immunology of these adjuvants. The researchers currently are working to develop a safe and effective method to deliver the immuneenhancing molecules to the body's mucous membranQ-tbe lim line of defense against most pathogms.-to dicit protrct:iw immW1c responses on those mm>branes. "Almost every bacterium and virus that attacks w doesn't bore through the skin ," said Connell. .. These inf«tious agents enter by colonizing the mucosalsurfaca on the eye, sinuses, mouth, gut linmg, lungs and genital tract." To date, Connell and colleagues have determined, usmg a mouse modd, that the nasal passage is the best mucosal surface on wh1ch to apply IT-Ita and LT-Ifb as mucosal adJuvants. Mixmg a very small amount ofLT-Ilaor LT-Ifb with an eXtstmg anugen and drippmg the mlXturt mto a mo~·s noSC' su~- quently produ= a strong antigenspecific immune response in th~ nasal passage$, as wdl as in saliva, the urogenital tract and the bloodstream, their research showed In contrast, immunizing th~ mous~ with only the antig~n s~n~rat~s a much low~r level an· tige.n -specific ammune response at those sitC's. This method of application is pa.rttcularly suitable for immunizang populations an underRrv~d arns , sa1d Conn~U . .. I( ( want to ammunin som~­ bod); in Uganda w1th a vaccine that must~ inJected, for instance, I have to bnng needles, everything mu st be sterile and everything must be kept cold, which means we need refngerauon. .. But tf I can vaccmate through the nose, aU I have to do 15 dry the antigen and my adjuvant. When I get to the mtddl< of Uganda, I boil som~ water, pour ln the antigen and adjuvant, stir it up, put it in an atomizer and 'sniff.' The mixture doesn't even have to be sierile bcawc the nose isn't ncrile." Connell began •tudying the two adjuvants a.s a postdoctoral re searcher at the Uniformed Scrvica University of the Health Sciences (USUHS) in Washington, D.C., in 1989. The molecules had bcm isolated five yean earlier by Randall Holm<S, his postdoctoral advisor. Co nn<ll bcg~n his investigations into the activities of LT-Ila and LT-ilb at the USUHS by mapping the regions of th< two mt<rotoxins that were important for reaptor binding, toxicity and for assembly of the multisubunit proteins. LT-IIa and LT-llb are similar to c hol~ra toxin in 3- dim~nsional structur~ and toxic activity. Yet, the amino-add scquenus of the bmd- c-......,_ ..... Brown new nursing dean ay Alrl1IU.

"Blank architecture is about a change in the way orchitects produce architecture--it's about trying to ltavt tht archittcturaJ product open for change and in· terpretation by citiuns." Ht and two senior architecturt students, Saki Yoshimun and Kin Cllun Ma, are participating in three design competitions in which their subntissions art prime cx.amples of these principler-tbe proposed suucturc:s will not be '"complete" until cenain important elements are supplied by the people who will u.se the buildings, he says. The winnen of one of those competitions, the AMD Open Architecture Challenge--a collaboration be~c:n MJcroprous.sor manufacturer Advanced Micro Devices and a volunteer nonprofit organization, Architecture for Humanity-will create the structures that house operations for three nongovern mental agencies: Sidarec in Kmya.

As the Reyner Banbam Fellow, L6pa-Pilleiro spent last~ fine· tuning his thoughts on architectural blankness for an upcommg book, "The Enabler." 11se title, he says, refers to his belief that the structures archjtects cre:atr enable their users to fulfill their "dreams and desires and needs." but also aclcnowledges that these goals are rrequentlyaccomplisbed in an ulti· a===;;,! rnatdy destructive way. He says, for instance, that too often architects create designs that require construction material &om countries that exploit worken-<>r employ power-hungry technology. "'The built environment created by architects is very responsible for global warming." L6pn-Pifteiro says.

According to the Regional lnsti· lute's latest Policy Brid, .. Upstate's Recent Arrivals." 27,000 foreign nationals received legal ~nna.nent residence between 2003 and 2006 in upstate's fill< largest metro areas. As a proportion of tht overall popula· tion, Utica saw tht greatest immigrant influx of the fivr upstate areas (9 immigrants per 1,000 residents) during the period, whilt Buffalo had the smallest foreign-born gain (5.5 per 1,000 residents). Nationally. Mexico is the domo· nant immigrant country of origin, whilt the Dominican Republic leads New York stale. Neither group is prominent upstate , where top countries of origin includt Canada (Buffalo), Bosnia (Syracuse and Utica), Ollna (Rochester) and the Philippines (Albany). Indian and Vietnamest also art pr~cnt tm migrant groups upstate. "Immigrants havt long played an important role in shaping upstatt Ntw York's culture and fuel · ing ots economy." said Kathryn A. Foster, institutt director... Though upstate's concentration of fore1gn · born ha~ declined, new patterns of immigration prc:Knt significant opportunities for tht region ." For instance, immigrant s to upstatt New York are younger, on average. than thOS< to the rest of the state and U.S. From 2003 10 2006, 28 percent of upstate unmigrants (and 30 percent in Buffalo) wore younger than 18, compared 10 U percent statewide and 20 percent nationally. This t=d is rdated 1D upstate New York's prevalence of refugees and those sedang asylum, which com· pnse 30 peranl of the immigrant population upstate compared to I0 percent m New York state and 12 percent nationally. "'As the region's natin populauon and workforce ages , this young immigrant population will play an important role in filling key employment gaps in, for a ample, the health care, service and high ~ tech sectors,.. said Peter A. Lombardi, policy analyst with the institute and author of the brief. Mirroring sta te and national trends , socioeconomic status is related to the geographic distribution of immigrants across the Buffalo Niagara region. For instance, Buffalo's gateway n<ighborhoods havt concentrations of workingclass 1mmigrant communities, which today include Vietnamese. Somali and Sudanese, as well as Yemeni in Lackawanna. Larger populations of professional-class rmmigrants, including Indians and Cllinese, have settled in the suburbs, espeaally in middle- and upper-middle class neighborhoods surrounding UB. to terms of accommodating unmigrants, upsute areas provide services such as English languag< training and legal. job-placement and citizenship assistance. Howevtr, upstate metros lack a coUutive immigration agenda to guide 0 policy and economic dcvdop ment strattgies. "If upstate hopes to tap the economic devrlopment and cultural and social enrichment potenti.al of iU immigrant populations, more can be done to bring attention to resource ne-eds and policies that accommodate immigrant communjties."' Lombardi said. " Upstate's Recent Amvals" IS the tnstitute's 12th policy bnef since tt launched the sents in August 2006 to inform regional issues with timely, rdiable data and analysiS.

New guidelines for SAB Study to identify risk factors for complications 11J LOIS IIAIWI Contributing Editor T HE StaphylococCOH aureus bacterium is one of the most common and most important dis<aRcausi ng organisms in humans. S. au reus frequently invades the bloodstream, causing S. aurrtu bacteremia, or SAB, an infection that anacb the heart valves and other organs with potentially dtadly consequences. Even with the bnt care and antibiotic therapy, the mortality rak of patients With SAB ts 20-30 percent, a rate that hasn't changed m 30 years. Bcocause there currently is no way to rule out with 100 ~rant accuracy the presence of S. aurew endocarditis, o r h<an-valve infecllon, rven with an echocardiogram, most patients infected with the bacteria automatically recdvr fow ~ six wed.s of antib1otic therapy. Prolonged usc of antibiotics, however, contributes to the dcv'dopmcnt of antibiotic resistance and mcrca.ses the overall cost of medi cal care. Patients also may suffer tht consequences of unnecessary antibiotic administration ranging from allergy to a potentially lethal form of infectious diarrhea. In an ~ffon to improve this process and <kvelop n<w guidelines for antibiotic use for SAB, UB ,...,-chen are collecting bact<rial isolates and dinical information from SAB-infected patients hospitalized in thrtt ..-.. hospitals and following their charted progress through inpatient tr<atmen~ discharge and for a post-discharge period. The hospitals participating in the study are Erie County Medical Center, Bulhlo General and Sistcn. UB genomic specialists will compan the coUected bacteria on a gene-by-gene basis. a process called complete genomic hybridization. Then. in the first time such an analysis has been conducted, the genomic architecture of the various bact<rial strains identified will be compared to the risk factors and outcomes derived from the patients. The research is sup- pomd by a three -year, $690,500 grant from the John R. OiJhei Foundation of Buffalo. "One of the principles of infectious diJea.se,• said Alan Less~. a principal investigator on the study, .. is that you aren't treating just the patient in front of you. you are treating everyone who comes afte.rwa.rd because you are introducing a.nti'biotics into the microbial ecology. "Unfortunately, just having S. aurtuJ in rhe bloodstream carries a very high mortality riJk ." he said. " If there is infection in a heart valve, mortality approad>es 40-SO percent. It's a highly lethal complication. Th<re's significant morbidity associat<d with it, too, because patients with these in· fections end up with prolonged hospitalizations and prolonged antibiotic administration ... J....eSR is associate professor of medicine, p'harmacology a~ toxicology, and microbiology. Joseph Mylone, professor of medici ne, and Stephen Gill, associate professor of oral biology and a member of the Infectious Disease and Genomics Group in UB's New York State Center of Excellenu in Bioinformatics and Ufe Sciences, also are principal investigator>. The resarchers will collect SAB samples from an anticipated 900 patients who will be classified as low- ~oderate- or high -risk for developing complications. Patients who have a removable focus of infection, such as a catheter; a drainable superficial abscess; a superficial. nonremovable focus such a.s cellulitis; no evidence of endocarditis or deep infection; no known valvular heart dis<ase; a negative echocardiogram; and clearance of bacteria from tht bloodstream within 24-72 hours after starting antibiotics will lx dassilied as low-risk Patients dassified as moderaterisk for SAB will have features similar to low-risk patients. but without an identifiable focus of the infection. Patients at high risk of complications will be defined as having a positive blood culture for SAB 24-72 hours after starting antibiotics or with persiJtent signs of infection after 72 hours. whether or not a focus h as been identified. The second part of the study. the genomic analysis, 1s a crill · cal part of the research . "While a few reant studi es have shown a possible association of S. aurew strains with the dtvelopment of complications." L<sse said, "it is not known whether specific strains of S. aurew are more likely to cau~ complications than others." Gill will dassify the SAB strains into dusters based on the DNA sequena of S<ven key genes found in all strains, using a technique called multi -locus sequence typing ( MLST). UB researchers will be able to compare local isolates with strains from all ovu the world based on this electronic database of isolates, L<sse said. The second stage of the allllysis will usc gene arrays, where morco than 7,000 genes and intergenic regions know 10 be present in different strainsofS. aureus will be"arrayed" or spotted on a tiny chip. The genetic oonten.t from the strains in the study then can be applied to the array and a gene-by-gene comparison can be made, auting a genomic map of the infecting bacteria. A statistical comparison of strains known to cause complication and those without complication wiJ1 identify genes that may be responsible for more serious outcomes during infection. "The ruults will provide the basis for establishing modd guidelines to predict whether a patient diagnosed with a particular strain of S. aurew will devdop complications." said L<sse. "This data then can be used in future studies to determine whether the precilctions are correct and whether patients at low risk of complications can be treat<d with shorter (two weeks) venus longer (four to six weeks) of therapy. "Such guidelines will spar< patients unnecessary medications, identify patients requiring appropriatr longer treatment counts and may help slow the progr<ss of the organism's antibiotic ""ist.ance." he said Silver Siting A special cake marked the 25th anniversary of the Department of Geology's annual Groundhog Day cookout featuring Ridge Lea Larry, the department's stuffed groundhog.

The event will feature a book signing, as well as a display of photos from the book. "The Power Trail" is the dramatic story of how great minds of science and industry harnessed the mighty Niagara River to produce electricity, whiCh, despite our in crediblt- reliance upon it, has bee:n with us for little more than I 00 years. Besides showcasing th< imp res · 51ve power plants they call "temples to the Industrial Revolution," the authors explore the innovations, conflicts and tragedies that arose from the struggle between those with visions of the endless generation of power and thoK who sough t to preserve the landscape of Niagara Falls.

Breaking ground on language-thought link~ NSF funding study ofspace representation in 15 Mesoamerican languages ay P'ATIKIA DOHOVAH Contributing Editor ORGEN Bohnemeyer, assistant professor in the Departm ent of Linguistics, College of Arts and Sciences, has received a 42-month $250,000 grant from the National Science Foundation to fund a comparative study of the representation of space in 15 indigenous languages of Guatemala and Mexico, many of which are sever<ly under-doc umen ted and endangered. Bohnemeyer says his team wtll J focus on two unusual traits of spatiallanguage in Mesoamerica: its highly productive terminology for object pans defined in geometri terms, and its prefere.nce for al IOttntnc, or non -ob~rver - b~. frames of rcferenu. He notes that, from a cogmtive perspective, th< way people dcscnb< an object by using companson (for instance, talking about the "front" and "hack" of a ~r) i5 metaphorical and that this project will address to what extent languages differ in th< spatial meuphon they use and how they use them. " For example, when Engluh speakas talk about the ' front' and 'bock' of a car or 1V set." he says, "what they have in mind are parts that arc dctennined not so much in terms of shape. but in terms of function: the front of the car i5 the first part in th< direction in which the car canonically move$, and th< front of th< 1V i5 that part through which the appliance delivers its 'outpul'" Mesoamerican languages have been reponed to be different tn thiS respect, Bohncmeyer says, in that they usc precise gcometncal algonthms for labeling the parts of even the most complex or un conventional objects on the basis of body-part metaphon .. What this means in pract1ce," he says, .. is that even if you create a we1rdl y shaped novel obJeCt, native speakers of Mesoamerican languages will tell you with great confidence which parts are the ears and nose and the bun of the object, and speakers of the same language will converge on pretty much the same solutions. "We're trying to work out bow they do this,• Bohnemeyer Sii)'S. "and our mOst important due i5 goins to come &om comparisons across the different languages of the region to see to what extent they apply the same strategies and to what extent they differ from one another." The research tam also is interested in what makes Mesoamerican languages so dilfermt from English or Dutch or Russian or JapanCK in terms of their descriptions of the location of an object in space. "Whereas the other languages mentioned describe an object's location relative to the location of the speakers' own bodies in space {e.g., ' The ball is left of the chair'), that is, egocentrically, Mesoamericans locate objects: relative to some fued. if arbitrary. direction in space ('The ball is north of the chair') or relative to the geometry of other objects ('The ball is at the back of the chair' )---allocentrically." This linguistic difference is of interest to cognitiv< scimtists.1t has been shown that speakers of differ. entlanguagc:s prefer to use the same strategies for memorizing a given spatial configuration that their nativ< languages mand.te for tallcing about it. The question i5 whether this aligrunent is due to language influencing cognition or rather of cultural biases inftuencing both languag< and spatial memory. Bohnerneyer's team will test the hypothesis that the ability to label the parts of arbitrary objects based on their shape favors allocentnc over cgocentnc reference in Mesoamerican languages. If confirmed, this would lend support to th< vi<w oflanguage, rather than culture,._, the .. prime mover" m detennimng strategies of spatial refcre.n e �Ftlruy 7,211/Vi.l. 11.21 ..... - . . . Sharing health info UB study finds way to increase use of technology 11JrA'niCIA-AN Conlributlng - !DW diffusion of patimtmanagcd clcctronic hca.lth information record tech nologies, or PHRs, has limited the development of an rnteroperable health information infrastructure that will greatly improve health -care qll2lity and cost, and ,..... lives. For this reason, increasing PHR diffusion has hem called a top priority by the Departmmt of Health and Human Services, the Office of the National Coordinator for Health Information Technology and the Ccntus for Medicare and Medicaid Services. A PH.R is a personal health record initiated and maintained by an individual that ideally provides a complete and accurate summary of the medical history of that individual.lt makes this information accessible online to anyone who has the necessary electronic credentials. The platforms by which a PHR is de!Mred can be paper, personal computers, the Internet or portable devices. PH.Rs can contain a widt range of daQ, but usually include information regarding an individual's allergies and adverse drug reactions, medications, illnesses and hospitaliza tions, surgeries and other procedures. vaccinations, laboratory test results and family medical history. A new study by UB communication researcher Arun Vishwanath has found that framing communication to emphasize the personal benefits of PH.Rs to usen is lilrdy to increase their purchase and use by "early adoptus" of tccbnologial innovations. Later adopters, he found, arc greatly inllu.enced by communication that emphasi.za the benefit of the technology to the collectiYe society. The study findings. to be pubWbed in an upcoming issue of the journal He~~lth CommunicGrion, are important. says VISbwanath. assistant profesoor in the D<putment of Communication, College of Arts and Scicnas, because d<ctronic inilnnation-sharing systans promotr a greater awan:ness in patimts of chanp in their hca.lth conditions.

Some PHRs are marketed directly to tht S • CODS\lDltt by the product vendor.

Ht discussed tht reasons for this in a 2007 study reported in Health lnformGrics fourruJl. '" The current study suggests, hownu, that proper framing also could be used not only to increase diffusion of PH.Rs, but to mhance the pmetration of EH.Rs among pbysicians.. be: says.

Vtshwanath says ht stt out to )t-arn which positive attributes wert most dftetivt in this regard and his results regarding personal and social benefit havt a number of important implications. "First," ht says. "is that policymann and technology impltmenteu should be conscious about communicating tht valut or usefulness of a new technology to its md users.

Molecules ~ ............ ing subunits of LT-II a and LT- lib arc signific.a.ntly different from the amino-acid sequence of the binding subunit of cholera torin. These amino-acid diffcrtnccs underlie tht specificity of LT-IIa and LT-IIb for gangliosidt rectp tors, which arc different from the ga nglioside bound by cholera toxin. (A gangliosidt is a complex molecult that contains both lipids and carbohydrates, and is found in the oulcr membrane of many kinds of cells.l Connell hypothesius that it is thest difftrmt ganglioside-binding activities that contribute to the unique immunological activitia of l:T-Ua and l:T-IIh. "Basically, l:T-Ua and l:T-Ilb ar< mol<cules you can add to anyV>Crine andidatr to augment the unrnuoe responst to that prottin. whattvtr u may be," Connell suted. The one problem researchers may encounter and on which they are worlcing currently is to msurt that their vaccine booscer doesn't travel to the brain via the olbctory ntrVe, or if the booster does traffic to tht brain, that it doesn't bavt harmful propertits. ConntU said some of tht muQnt IJ-Ua and JJllh adjuvants they havt dtvtloped appear to c:xhibit no toxicity in a:lls. and thus havt the potential to aert no harmful effects on neuronal ctlls.

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 software has special relevance to the school systems and teach ers involved in administering the standardized English Language Arts exams that are gJVcn every year, usually in lanuary, by pubhc school systems in every state. llus month, every New York school ilistnct will admuustcr these as.sc!i.'lments to thcar ~udenu tn grades three to e1ght.

The paper was published earlier in the online version of the journal. " It surprucd us that we were able to do as well • we did, especially since this was our first ane.mpt,.. said Sargur N. Srihari , SUNY Distinguished Professor in the Department of Computer Science and Engineering and principal i.nvatigator on the project. The project focused on handwritte.n essays obtained from eighth graders in the Buffalo Public Schools who responded to this question from a New York Sill~ English Language Aruaam:"How was MMtha Wash. ongton's rok as First Lady dilfcrmt from that of Eleanor Rooscvdt?" Three hundred of the essays were scored by human exammers and used as a ..gold standard " agounst wh1ch 96 computer-scored essar.. were Judged E.ssays were graded on d scale of 0-6, wtth SlX bemg the haghest score In 70 percent of cases, the UB researchers reported, the computer program graded the essays within one pomt of those as.s1gned by hu · man examaners. The UB research tackles two significant artificial intelligence problems, said Srihari, director of UB's Center of Excdlence for Document Analysis and R=>gnirion (CEDAit), the world's l:arJ!cst research center devoted to developing new technologies thai can rccogniu and read handwriting. .. We wanted to see whether automated handwriting-recognition capabilities can be used to read children's handwriting, which is cssenually uncharted territory," he said . "'Then we took it one step further to sec if we could get computers to score these essays like human examiners." In the pilot study, the essays were scanned into a I..':Omputer. Eac:h line of text was broken down tnt o andividuaJ word!. ln Uus step, the system's goal was word recogm tton , wluch at a..:('omplished usmg ..:ontcxtual mformation from the rc~t ot th e sam ple , th~ answer ruhm. anJ th e quc!.taon On . . e the ma1ortt )' of wonh were rc..:ogmzed. the essay was turned toto a dtgna.ltat file. For the automa ted Konng step, the UB researchers used an anafi tal neural network approach "In this method, tbe system 'learns' from a set of answers that were scored already by humans, associating different values or scores with different features in the ....,..,. explained Srihari. Computational tools dcsign.e d to evaluate essays that arc typed , not handwritten, already exist , Srihari said. "But these arc all based on dec· tronic text thal the test-taker types in, using a computer keyboard," he said. · 1n this case., we are working toward developing a computational tool to read and evaluate the many thousands of handwritten essays written by schoolchildren as part of statewide mandated reading comprehension test!.

The results demonstrate that can be an acellent patient· monitoring tcdmique because the decrease in RNFL thickness reJlects inflammatory and nwrodegen erative components of Ms,• she said. • Funher studies are needed to assess and validate ocr measuns versus MRI measures and to delineate the rolt of ocr in patients with relapsing and progressive fonruofMS."

Super ads, super stocks Prices linked to likeability of Super Bowl commercials .,.jAC~­ Rq>«ttr Contributo< EN TV viewers ke a company's upcr Bowl commercial, the company's stock price goes up, according to a study by ruearchcn in the UB School of Management and ComciJ University. The study aamined 529 commercials that aired during 17 Super Bowls from 1989-2005 and found W that investors favored stocks of firms that aired likeable Super Bowl commercials. The rtsearchers used ratings gathered by USJ\ Today's Ad Meter, a real -time consumer 1ikeability rankmg of Super Bowl commercoah. They found that firms with the most likeable commercials had h1gher-than -normal stock purchases on the days foUowing the Super Bowl, which increased the firms' stock price. "This reaction is irrationaJ beca use the stock returns were baso:l solely on likeability of the commercials," says resrarcher Kenneth A. K.tm. associate professor of finance m the School of Management ...

The findings on liked commercialsdcrnonstrate ~ pcoplcoftcn take mental shortcut< rather than go through longer, analytical processing when making decisions that should be complex, Kim explains. In this ca5<, people bought .stock bccaus.: they liked a firm's 1V commcrt:ial instead of making a decision based on a firm's long· term value. These investors appeared to use a mental shortcut known as ., representativeness bias• when evaluating the firms, Kirn says.

When shopping for a used car, we might think that a dnn car is a good car." says Kim. "We might think a person with a ~cc haircut is a good person. We might think a tall person is a good basketbaU player." In investment decision-mahng, another example of this bias occurs when investors believe recent past return& are repreRntative of what they can expect in the future 7 _S_.p_-o_a_·_lsR __e_c_a_.p..__~ 1 -I Bas~iliall Ohlo61, uast T..-76, UB6l l)espM a secon6-half ....,, Ull loll co Ohio, 68-5, . ., Alumni Arore on Jan. ll.

Anne Payne, a UB faculty member for al most 50 yean who died Jan. 22 in the Center for Hospice & Palliative Care after a long illness. She was 75. Born in Harrisonburg, Va., Payne grew up in a mili tary family and lived thmughoul the United States. She earned a bachelor's drgree in English from Shorter College in Rome., Ga .• in 1954, then went on to Yale University, where she earned a master's degree and a doctorate. Payne joined the UB English department faculty in 1958 after teaching for ~eral years at Connectic ut College. She was promoted 10 full professor in 1975. Her teaching and scholarly in- tercst& included Old English, later medieval literature-English and European, especially Chaucerand satire. She retired in 2007.

Essays ...,. , c_,.,..,..,,_ find out how they did until almos1 the end of the spring semester. "Judging this quantity of hand· written essays is very laborious," sa1d Srihari. " It would be nace to automate this process so perhaps student< could take the test m May, having received more instrucllon, and then have the results in June." And while some teachers may be: wary of computers' ability to prop· erly grade essays, James L. Collins. professor in the Depanmcnt of Learning and Instruction and a comvestigator, is quite confident. While he noted that human examiners might still be necessary for grading on very specific ..:riteria, the majority of evaluations probably ..::ould be done JUSt as well by computers.

Right now, teach· ers spend a lot of time getting their students ready for these standard+ iud tests, then the students take the exam and get their scores back months later. With computer scor· mg. students could get back the1r scores much faster at a timt when the results can sull be addressed. Th<" assessment s..::ores wouldn 't JUSt be going into a ' black hole."'

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 study published recently in the Jourrral of Eco,wnuc Ptrsperrrves, UB economist Julio Elias and Gary S. Becker of the Untversify of Chicago argue that .. the: use of mone:tary incentives would mcreasc the supply of organs for tran splant sufficiently to elimrnatt the very large que:u~ morgan markets, and the suffering and deaths of many of tho~ waiting, without an\:reasing the total cost of trans plan t surgtry by a large pe:rcent."

" In the case of the market for transplantable organs,• Elias says, "the obstacles are obvious. Very few countries allow the use of monetary mce.ntives to acquire organs from either living donors or cadavers." Although previous authors have dls.cussed usmg monetary in~.:e:nttves to increa~ cadavenc organ donations, Elias and Becker suess th e potential for eliciting more donations from livtng donors of kidneys and secuons of IJve:rs, for example. TheircoUccuon, they say, is in several respects less subje:ct to abuse and corruption than the collcction of organs from cadavers.

Older video iPods can use a simple RCAJ composite cable, like those used for eamcorden. Simply plug the singLe end into the iPod 's audio jack and connect the RCA connectors into your TV, switcher or modulator. lf you haW" a new generation (nano, d3.SSic or touch) , you'U need to purch"-"' a composite cable (http:// docs.lnfo .......com/ Mtlde.hbni7..-.J002U ) because the video signaJ now comes through the 30-pin doc.k connector. Here's a tip: To connect an iPod to a portable DVD player (player must have vtdeo and,audto tn options ), connect the RCA cable from the tPod to a mtni -jack to RCA (black and yeUow) adapter, matching red to red, white to white and ydlow to grttn.

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.

There also arc: places in which the original plans have gone unfulfilled, he said, such as integrating the North Campus with the Town of Arn hcrsl as outlined in the: campus's 1968 -master plan .

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.

Steven Levitt, bcst-scUing coauthor of"Freakonomics: A Rogue Economist Explores the Hidden Side of Everything." spoke on Nov. 14 before a crowd estimated at 3,000 in Alumni Area-including about 1,000 students from nearly 40 higb schoo ls-as part o£ the 2007-08 Distinguished Speakers Series. Far from being a stereotypical "boring economiSt," Levitt leavened hi s nearly two -hour presentationfeaturing stories about applying cconomiC·stylc logic to qucs11ons traditiOnally consJdcnd outs1dc the realm of finance to reveal new and mterestmg truths-wnh crowd· pleasing humor and a generous dose of self-deprecation. .. I'm not a real «<nomist,.. lcvitt joked in his opening n:marlu. "I t.a.kt all these questions that 'real econo- A mists' would be embarrassed to havo: their names associated with but still many people find int..-.sting." lcvin"s first anealote, illustrating the power of seeing things from a new perspective. told the story o£ IRS agrnt John Szilagyi, who sus· gested in the early-1980s that U.S. tax forms should require taxpay· ers to list their dependents' Social Security numbers after becommg suspicious of so many childrm with unusual names 100: • Fido." L<vitt said it took about h al£ a decade before Szilagyi's superiors made the change, but once it was put into effect, 10 percent of America's children "disappeared" ovemigbt. saving the so..,mment 52 billion a year in fraudulent claims. including taxpayers listing pets as dependent.\ or Simply lying about how many children they were raismg. "Whatl lilu: about)olm SZllagy•'s story is it all oomcs down to an idea," Lcvm said ... Onn· I explam 11 10 you, 1t's obv10us--1t 's not brilliant, u's sunplc--and yet somehow hu mans have th1s mt:rcdibly hMd time generating new 1dc..s.

The anecdote also illustrated the powerful roiC' mccntivcs play m people's personal and professional lives, he said, noting that taxpayers had little incentiv. to tell the truth on their tax returns b«au.se there was little risk in cheating. Szilagyi's 00.... had little incmtj.., to impk· ment cost-saving ideas bccauR changing tax fonns involved a lot o£ work and Szilagyi's co-workers were givm little incentive to make further suggestions bcca~ for many years Szilagyi recc.ived no personal recognition or financial reward for his idra. Incentives also arc the key to one of the most famous questions in levitt's bat-selling book: "Why do drug dealers tivt with their mothers?" The answer is b«au.sc 90- 95 percent o£ drug dealers earn minimum wage. said Lt-vitt, who with h1s co·author, Stephen Dubner, stud1cd financial r«ords obtatncd from a Chicago gang leader m order to gain insight mto the: orgamz.a tion 's financial workmgs and debunk the popular myth that drug dealers arc getting nch off the strerts.

Although death rat~ were 7 percent a year for sans members in Chicago at the time of his research, Levitt said he found those who were at the bottom rungs o£ the gang-known as "Coot soldiers"-were willing to take sisnificant risks for a chance to cam top wages, ranging from 5100,000 to 5500,000 a year. " It's not really that difft:rmt from higb school quarterbacks doing steroids because they think some· day they're going to make it to the NFL. or someone leaving Buffalo to go to Hollywood, thinking they're going to be a movie star,'" Levitt said, pointing out that"9,999 out or 10,000 people who go to Hollywood end up waiting tables." not starring in movies... But for the ones who make it." he added, "there's a huge, huge reward."

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.

Sharing ideas, resources and information has always been an integral part of academia, and P2P's content distribution capa· bilities holds enormous potential for innovation. communication ankoUaboration . For example, LionShare (http://llonsh•re . pJu.edu/) , a Pennsylvania State University initiative, leverages P2P to allow academics to legally share their course materials, research data, images, videos, Web pages, and other files with other academics and students in a secure environment. Another innovative usc is the LO C KSS ("Lots of Copies Keep Stuff Safe") ProJect ( http:// www.locku . org/ ) hosted by Stanford Univer· sity Libraries, which uses a P2P backbone to amass, rcvitw, rq1au and diJtribute already purchued <-journal content among participaling peer institutinru.

However, we aU have our own personal ethos, intent and unique situation, so cases can be made for both labeh by reasonable people. Besides the obviow argu· ments that it is ethically wrong to steal and that legal relativism has no place in the United States, those who believe P2P file·sharing is stealing cite the decunation of the creative economy and the accom panying consequcnas: • Artists arc not compensated for their creative output • Countless jobs are lost, such as bchind-thc· scencs workers in music and movies • Businesses, like record stores and theaters, arc shut down or go bankrupt • Consumers have less ch01ct because major labels and movie studios have I~ money to invest in riskier proj«ts Copyrisbt holden argue that their pay servic<s (iThnts) off..the sam< con ten~ case of UK and sense ofconununity without the guilt On the tlipsick, pro-P2P lilt-sharing ad>uat.es argue that the digiaJ age requires ev<ryone to radicaUy rethink copyright ~ of copyrisbt law or personal ethics, P2P content distribution is h..-e 10 say.

For cnmplc, P2P file sharers cite that the right of first sale, which states that copyright bolder's rights to control the distribution of a particular copy end once that copy is sold to the consumer, has been ripped away from consumers. Another pro-P2P file·sharing rationale stat.es that cntuta.inmcnt companies have inflated their costs for years. and consumers who have bought a myriad of formats-I.Ps, eighttrack, cassettes.

Reusing urban waste to transform space UB architect and artist creates artwork from discarded building materials By PAT111CJA DONOVAN Contributing Ed1tor OR lhc past five yea rs, arttst and architect Den· nis Maher has coUccred F discarded buildang ma - terials from demolition sites and salvage yards throughout the deindustrializ<d city of Buffalo. He has used them to create haunting sculptures, paintings and environmental installations that be usually installs in other city buildings slat<d for dtmolition , restoration or renovation.

"On one level, my works offer an approach to reinvigorating vacant bualdangs through the reusing of urban waste," he says, ..but on another, perhaps more abstract levd, I want the r~ulting constructions to suggest, in their layered and tutu red surfaces, the contours of cities and landscapes that have yet to emerge."

Students m ERIE will have the opportun it y to work with facuJry 10 .seven dtffcr<"nt departments m the engmcenng school and m the College of AriS and Scienc.s. They also may work with faculty m tht VB Law School and at Buffalo State Co ll<"ge, Niagara University and several Canadian universities. Unlike many graduate programs in related fields, F.RJE integrates sociaJ and policy conside rations throughout the program to train sctentists who are sensitive to tht broad range of values and cultures in a divtrse community such as Western New York. "The goal is that graduates will innatdy be drawn to socially rel evant problems and will have the interdisciplinary perspect ive to tackle them," said Rabideau. Students also will benefit from the project's partntrships and mternship s with more than 16 local organizations, including the environmental programs of the Tuscarora Nation, Se-neca Nation of Indians and St. Regis Mohawk Tribe; BUffalo/Niagara River keeper ; the U.S. Army Co rps of Engineers; and U.S. and Canadian environmental agencies. In addition. ERI E students will have the opportunity to work with Western New York's Native Ameri ca n trihcs on research projects. "The National Science Fo undation recog ni?.es that 111 order to dean up the environment, you must engage co mmunities," satd Don G rinde , professor and ' hatr o l t~ e Ocpartment ol t\mcrkan S IUdu:~ and a (0-principal invcs ug.uo r.

" Th1s grant will engage Native Amen can perspectives on the en vironment, which have traditionally differed from and con fli ct«! with Western ideas about it ," G rinde said . StudenlS who are accepted into the program through the Depart· m<nt of American Studies, which has a strong Nativ< American studies component, will focus on environmental policy and human ecology. The idea for ERIE grew out of work that Rabideau and his col · leagues have done on strum restoration with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and Ecology and Environment, an environmt'.ntal consulting firm. It also grew out of partnerships forged by UB enginec.rs, scientists and legal scholars in an auemptto address the critical gaps in restoring ecosystems. " Right now, numerou s tec h niques are being used to restore ecosystems locally and nation ally," said Rabideau , an expert in t.nvironmental modeling. " This somewhat ad hoc approach milis it difficult to generalize and improve o ur prediction s of how ecosystems will respond to human intervention .

"In many cases, the ecologists and the hydrologists don't fully understand the other's perspective." fleli tical and economic consid erations add yet another layer of complexity and potential conflict to ecosystem restoration projects, he said. .. This program is unique be cause it thoroughly integrates scirnce, e.ngineering. public policy and traditional Native American approaches, while aJso focusing on the importance of educating all of tht affected communities in the region," Rabideau said. Students will gain experience in translating th eir research into public <ducation through partner· ships with K-12 science teachers at the Native American Magnet School and Seneca Math/Science Technology School in the Buffalo Public Schools. They also will un dergo formal training with VB's NSF-fund«! Center for Case Study Teaching in Science. The grant will pay tuition and a 530,000-a-year stipend for two years of doctoral srudy, plus provide funds for research , travel and internships.

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.

Not surprisingly, UB hu been one of the most actiw unjvcrsitics in the country in conducting research and teaching on Canada.

A glance at the list of faculty partlclpating by offering courses with Canadaan content in our gr.fttuate ccrufica te program will give some partial mdi ca tion of the mos t likely places for students to look for these opportunities, but this list is far from ahaustivc.

This highly successful conf<rcncc has been operating for mor< than a do= years and has been hosted at a numlx:r of institutions around New York State and Southern Ontario. The conference has bencfited greatly from the support of the Canadian Consulate in Buffalo and the American Consulate in Toronto. last year, approximately 80 graduate and undergraduate studenu took part and we hope to haV< even more JlUdcnts participate You might have ask<d how Canadian studies fits within the UB 2020 planning process. and I would have answered that it was identified as an area of strategic str<ngth within the "Civic Engagement and Public Policy• area. This recognition r<flccts the tr<mcndous growth in interest and activity in r«ent years around Canadian studies ca mpus-wide. w~ hop~ that the introduction of an aca dcmic program at the graduate level will catalyze and stimulate further interest at faculty and student levels at UB, and help prepare our graduates for productivr lives and careen in an incrcasingly interdependent binational environment. a..-dl--....m!ift,. lng~· . . -..~y ln4ng. _ . . . , . , . _ .

By MAltY COOtllANE Contributing Editor W HAT a difference two y~ars can makt. lust ask Da· vid L Dunn, UB's viet pr<Sident for health scienctS. who~ to tht full Faculty Stnatt on Tutsday about plans fo r the UB Acadtmic Health Ctnter (AHC). Dunn r«alled his first visit to the senate in Nove mber 2005, just thret months afier he left the UnivC'rsity of Minnesota to take the n<W job at UB btcaUSt, as he said at the time, hC' saw·enormous opportunity h ere." Dunn said he sees even more opportunity here today as UB moves ahead with plans to expand its Academic Health Center, a consortium of the five health scienc<> schools: dental medicine, medicine and biomedical sciences, nursing. pharmacy and pharmacruticalsci· enc<>, and public health and health professions. The recommendations of the "Berger Commission"-the state Commission on HeaJth Care Facilities in the 21st Century-have the potential to help UB "vault forward in th~ rankings , recruit new faculty and possibly hav~ something that looks like a tertiary health-care facility." " It won' t be a SUNY-owned umversity hospital beca~ of the extent of funding," added Dunn, who serves as .s«retary-treasurer of the commission's regional ad visory com mitt«. "lncrtasingly, we're recognizing that UB is an economic driver for Western Ntw York. P<Ople ask mt why I would even consider looking at a position here. ThC' a.nswtt is with my background, what bttter place to bt in N<W York than at UB in the middlt ofWestem New York dealing with all tht health science growth issu<>!" UB's three ca.m pwes '"present opportunitic:s, but also challenges," Dunn acknowledged. "Wt don't havt what '"" might want to havt within tbt next StY· era! years. including having light rail transportation at the North Campus, South Campus, all the way down to the BNMC (Buffalo Ni· agara Mtdical Campus)," he said. The planned growth through UB 2020 and tht campus master· planning proe<>s, he added, means the UB Academic Health Ctnter could add 400 new students, 250 new faculty positions, four to fiv~ remodeled buildings and thret or four new buildings on the South and downtown campUSC'S. ""But it's not about builclings; tt's about faculty and it's about stu dents. We 'r~ a very large" engin~ for public health-sciences education and turning out thC' nat genera - tion of practitioners in thac areas,'" Dunn said, adding that schools in UB's AHC graduate about 1,200 professionals annually. "That's something that Kaldda, ECMC, tht Catholic Health Sy.. tern-they all need us," Dunn said. "Tbty need the physicians, the nurses, the pharmacist&, the dtn· tist& and so on. This bas rtaiJy got ptaplt's anention, mainly btcaUSt there an studies nationwide that show there art shortages in th<>t areas. UB i5 a very largt portion of the solution to the fact that we're losing health-care practitioners in Western NC'w York. We have the ability to repopulate thost ranks." Gayle Brazeau, associate dean for acadtrnic affairs in the School of Pharmaey and Pharmactutical Sciences, asked again about the subjtct she asked Dunn about in 2005: giving nurses. pharmacists and other health -care prof=ionals th< ability to form practtct plans. Dunn, who expressed dismay two years ago that state law exdudes this, told Brncau on Tucsday that "SUNY has now been asked to draft legislation an this area," the first step toward changing the law on this issue, which dates back to the 1950s. In other business, Marsha S. Hen· <krson, Vlct president for external affairs, reported on tht progress of UB's 2007 Campaign for the Community, which has reached the halfway mark in its pledges. Addressing the relationships betwttn SEFA, tht United Way and Planned Parenthood, Hender· son nottd that the rtgional SEFA campaign in Western New York "contracts with Unittd Way to bt the administrator of tht campaign, in order to hdp with the coUection and administration and disstmina· tion of information. But the two carnpaigra--the United Way's and our SEFA campaign-art two sCpa· ratC' organizations and entities." As in the past, Planned Partnt· hood remains "'an option" that SEFA donors may designate as their organization of choice, Hen derson said, adding that Planned Parenthood "is vtry supportiv< of the SEFA proc= and donor des· ignation through that process." United Way only btntfit& from SEFA in terms of tht administra· tivc ftts it rcc~ivcs--a modest 8 ptrctnt, she added. When asked if United Way holds SEFA funds in inttrtst · bearing accounts and bow often It distributes thOSt funds, Htn · derson said UB SEFA don~tions •go into a separate account managed by SEFA rtgionally and art distributed through that account to tht organizations claigMted." but added sbt will chtck into how often the funds ar< distributed. . . *rtn; 14 n 111• ,...... -..-a ............... w a ; 0 a . .. . . . .. _ ......... ...... ............... ... _.................... ..... ......... --........_ .... --------------1 ..

Tiffany says a major force behind his current grant-funded projects is the desire of national health organizations to counteract a perception among low-level srnoken that infrequent nicotine use prot«U against the most harmful effect$ of cigarettes. "The National Cancer Institute ( NCI) is increasingly in ted in low-levelsmoking because it really presents a risk to folks in terms of cancers," says Tiffany, noting that nearly half of the smoking population is considered .. low-level'" smokrrs and traditionally ignored m studies on nicotme addiction. "Ultimately," he says, " I think the research will translate into public health messages about the risk of low-level smoking." A major problem studying low- ltvds smokers--or people who -;;,oke less than a pack a daystems from the fuel that researchers lack a reliable means to measure nicotine exposure in individuals whose cigamte use varies to a much greater extent than heavy, regular smoka-s, says Ttffany.

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.

Q&A. PAC£2 Invigorating UB's public spaces Urns in Founders Plaza first step toward broader public art program . , SUE W\IETCHDI Rqxx!.rEditor VERYONE, it seems, hu an opinion about the new artwork in Found- E ers Plaza. Originally commissioned by a Ocvcland aru group, "For the gentle wind doth move Silently, invisibly" by noted artist Brian ToUc wu inmlled in the plaza last month on a two-year loan. Marilyn Knm<r likes the urns. So docs Qaudc Wdch.

The blooms can change by the season, the shape is curvilinear_gthcr than rectilinear. and the 'oil lamp' can be S«n as a variety of symbols." But not everyone on campus cares for the work. To one university administrator, who declined to give his name as he crossed the plaza on a rece:nt weekday, the urns, whtch are set upon pedestals that lin< the edges of the plaza, "look like they're mdt<d." " What bothers me is that they're aU different shapes,.. he sai d . • rf they were aU the same. they would not be so bad." One Crofts HaU resident c..Ued the pieces ..pedestrian ." ..

While not everyone Is • fAn of tiM unu, they prowoke discussion, which, ua odmlnlstnton .., . .. point of publk .... No maner one's personal taste, the artwork is gcn<rating discussion. And that's th< whole point of public art, said Robert Srubley, professor and dir<ctor of the Urban Design Pmj<ct in th< School of Architecture and Planning who is OYCrSCCing UB's ongoing master-planning proc<SS. .. Whether you love it or hate It, it generates a fair amount of conversation and interest, which is precisdy what art is suppo~d to do,· Shibley said. Added Sandra Olsen, diroctor of the UB Art GaU<ry: "Whether you Ilk< it or not, it enlivens the plaza." The artwork in Founders Plaza IS just the initial offering in what ts c:xpccted to be a broad<r public art initiative at UB. .. If we arc to bt more competitive, able to recruit, rttain and expect the best from our faculty, staff and students, and contribute the best we can to the commumty, we have got to bt a more beautiful . lovable and ddightful place." Shibley said. " If we start with the prem1~ that there IS no such thJng as an ugly place so much as an mcomplete place, we have a lot of work to do in landscape, in social and public spaces throughout the campus. to create the support that students, faculty and staff need to be a great university " With that in mind , you can think of every public spac< as a kind of almost blank canvas on which to pa.int; he said. •What we need to do is put in plac< a variety of programs." Restoration of Founders Plaza. which Shibl<y caUcd "a modest first step namplc." initially was conceived as an infrastructure proj<ct. "The question becomes, can we trade up while we fix it?" he asked. noting that UB's master plan " will not miss a single construction opportunity" to make the campus a better, more beautiful piau. So that means new landscaping. Fear is greatest threat to rights ay K£VJH FWYUNC R<p«t.r Staff Volriter is fear," said Khan. "Far of being . Nromincnt voicc in the fight for international hum an rights told an udience in O ' Brian HaU Oct. 25 that human right5 and the rulcoflaw arc among the: greatest casualties of the war on terror in the United States and abroad. Irene Zubaida Khan, se<:rctary general of Amnesty lnt<rnational. presented a l«turc entitled "The Rul e of law and th< Politi cs of Fear: Human Rights in the 21st U:ntury" as part of the MitchcU Lecture Se r ies in the UB Law School. Khan is the first woman , A&ian and Muslim to achieve lead· e13hip of Amnaty Internatio nal . Ln the audience were more than I 00 students, faculty members and a camera c~ from C-Span. " I think today the biggest threat swamped by immigrant5, fear of the 'other,' fear of being blown up by terrorists, fear of rogue states, fear of weapons of mass destruction. Far is the antithesis of <mpathy. It destroys our shared undct3tanding and our shared humartity because it convats the other into a threat." She pointed out that th< rising role of"fcar-mongering" in international politics has brought about increase> in racism and xenophobia- in duding "lslamophobia" in the West and anti-Western smtiment in the East-as well as anti -Semitism, backlash against women's right5 and attacks on human right5 proponcnt5 in various parts of the world "For most pcopl<, fear scverdy restricts the ability to reason, to chaU<ngc.• Khan added. "Playing on people's fears aUows political to human right5 and the rule of law leaders to consolidate their own power, create false cenainties and escape accountability." She ci ted numerous political leaders who usc fear to distract the public, short-circuit debate and impose agendas, among them Zi mbabwean President Robert Mugabe, who's playing on racial fears to grab land from white farm . ers in Africa; Sudanese President Omar ai-Bashir, who's using fear of a Western invasion in Darfur to staU diplomatic and U.N. peacekeepers from entering the region; Russian President Vladimir Putin, who's playing to national xmophobia to consolidate popular support; and Australian Prime Ministtr John Howard, who used fear of a mass rcfug« invasion lD order to win election in 200 I. • The worst and most specific manifestations of fear and what fear can do to human rights," however, come from •fear of tnrorism and countmttrorism," according to Khan, who took the reins of Amnesty International in August 2001 , only one month before thr terrorist attacks of Sept. I 1. 2001 . and remains critical of the Bush Admirustntion's decision to respond to the cvm.t not as an international crime, but by pursuing regime change in Afghanistan and Iraq as part of a larger war on t<rror. " By speaking of war. the adnunistration scd<s to deny th< applicabiltty of human rights," she said "By speaking of t<rror, it's choosing to apply international humanitanan law rather sclcctM!y.

Experiences of a child soldier ~ lly KfVIN FRYLING Reporttr Staff Wnter many as 300,000 hildren are fighting in n estimated 50 con· 1cts across the globe, accordang to human nghts orgamz.atJons. A former VICtl111 of on~ such conflact vi.sated UB last wrc.k as a spraker an the 2007-08 Dl.ningutShed Speakers Senes Ishmael Beah, author of thr UB Reads selection "A Long Way Gone: Memoirs of a Boy Soldier,.. spoke on Oct. 24 before a crowd of 6,000 an Alumni Arena-in cluding 2,000 st udent s from more than 60 high schools-about his experiences fighting as a child soldier in a civil war that killed an esumatrd 50,000 people in Sierra Leone an the 1990s. Those anending the Beah l<ctetre also had the opportunity to visit a Civic Engagement Fatr held in the concourse area of Alumni Arena The fa1r offered participants an opportunity to investigate dif· ferent opportunities to ~ngage in humanitarian initiatives, activities, carrcrs and studies. Beah satd the stones in his book "still ar~ not easy to discuss," but he explained that the plight of other children across the globe urged him to speak out. " I wanted to write the book so that people could come to th1 s landscape,'" he said, "to see, hear. fed, smeU and be a part of the c.xptrirnct to the point that they can understand that this war is affecting a human being rather than a civilian or African or Afghan or Sri Lankan. I wanted to pull down those walls that do not allow us to make that ni!'Ccssary human connection whrn there's no context as to how thiS vtO· lence spreads, destroys homes and diSintegra tes the lives of people." Despitr the romanucizcd notions A of war he has encountered in the United States, Beah made it clear that in his view the sole purpose of war is "' to kiltTn br killed." .. People can find mterrsting ways to jusufy or phra.se it so it brcomcs something rise, but the purpose is to kill people," he said. bhmael Beah, now 26, says that while hb experiences u • chllcl lOiclltr are not easy to diKUJ.J, tho plight of othor chlldnn hu prompted him to speak out. The children who fought in Sarrra Leone were thr same as the young people in the audience, he added, despitr the violence they were forced to carry out. ··I wanted to change people's perceptions about child soldiers so peoplr know this happens to children lwithlthe same human desires, needs and wants as anyone anywhere," said Beah, who credits the efforts of UNICEF workers and a patron in thr U.S. for his own rehabilitation aftrr the wcu... Even though thru UV<S have been sev<rdy touched by this VIolence, they can recover if givm Lh~ proper ca.rt' and support," he said of child soldiers ... They're not a lost generanon B!t most people would like to beheve:· Beah said his book also auempts to bring a greater sen~ of pcrsp«- tive to the conflict and people of Sierra L.mne than the stories md tmages common in the U.S. news media. He pointed to a lack of coverage about Sian Leone in Tite New York 7imlS after his move to the United States in the summer of 1998 as a typical failme m reportmg. .. When Sierra Leone became known in the media and in the international world, it became known becausr of the war--brcause of the violence; he added. "For a lot of ~plr, there was a percrpllon that icrra kane equalrd caval war, amputation and madness. The violence was sensationalized to the point that it began to seem as though Sierra leone had always had war and all of us who wtre thrre wtre only capable of violencr." Missing from thc reports was a vision of his homdand brfore the conflict, he added, not1ng that Sierra leone provided him with a strong carly education, as wdJ as a powerful sense of community. rcspa"t for dders and culture. A graduate of the Unaced Na tions International School m Manhauan and Oberhn CoUege, Beah spoke about the important role of education in his life. "Most of the kids that survtved this war, the only difference be tween myself and them was that I've been able to gain an rducation that exposed me and opened up my world to what I'm capable or.· he satd , pomtmg out that many children become frustrated because they're unable to rKlatm a scnsr of purpose 1n life. "Gening an education was an empowa-mrnt... Beah urgtd students to view Mucauon not only a.s a means to earn a good JOb, but as ..a process of self-discovery about your place m the world and what you can do in the world and your community, your country and beyond." 5 E1ect&"o - c High,_,ays e Japanese culture online - · - · J b -......H (Culture Day) Ul Japan and 2007 has been dubbed "Year of Japan in Buffalo N"tagara" by the Bulhlo-Kanazawa SISter Oty Commlltec, 11 sernu like the perf<ct time to learn more about Japanese culture.

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 rcpon by the International Strategy Task Group recommends that UB build upon its leadership in international student rccruitment,ovencaseducation and study A abroad to create a comprehcnsi~ international strategy and identity for UB. Satish K. Tripathi, provost and executive vice president for academic affairs, commissioned the report as pan of the UB 2020 strategic planning process. " It is imperative that a leading public res.carch university make international education and global citizenship an essential pan of its mission,• Tripathi said. "-This rc:pon dearly indicates that intcma· tional education and scholarship arc a strategic strength of UB." The task group's chief recom mendation is that UB leverage its current strengths in the international area to intcmationaliu: the institution as a whole, said group member David M. Engel, SUNY Distinguished Service Professor and director of international programs in th< UB Law School. .. UB's impressively large international student population and inno~tivc overseas programs iJ. lustrate UB's success in going out into the world, but we must do a better job of conferring the benefit of UB's international engagement on the entire university community," said Engd, who also serves as chair of the UB Council on International Studies and Programs. With more than 4,000 intema· tional students, UB is ranked lOth in international student enrollmmt among U.S. colleges and universities. UB is known for pioneering overseas prognnu, particularly in Asia, and for having one of the most entrcprmeurial international education offices in the country, the report stated. This experience and cxpcnisc should be integrated throughout the univ<rsity, thr task group recommended. Making UB into an international university would enable UB to bc:tter train students for "the challenges and promises of the global community, facilitate globalized research and enhance understanding among the world 's peoples," according to tht rcpon. An institutional emphasis on international education and global citizenship, complcmcnttd by UB's proDmity to an inlmlational border, would set UB apan from other public research univ<rsitics, the repon stated. "This is an acdlent rcpon with far-reaching recommendations which, ifimplem<nted, will ensure that UB 's commitment to internationalization is "'fleeted in its curriculum, faculty and rcstarch ," said Stephen C. Dunnett. vice provost for international education. •1 look forward to worlcing with my colleagues across the campus on c..t......,._,... 6 Systems aim to detect. terrorists By ElLEH GOLDBAUM puter science and engineering in ContributJng EditOf the School of Engineering and Applied Sciences. Govindaraju is RE yo u a terrorist? Airport sc recners. ustoms agents, police A fficcr> and member.; of the military who silontly pose that question to people every day may soon ha~ much more than intu· ilion to depend on to detcrmin~ the answer. Computer and behavioral SCI· entists at UB are developing au tomated systems that track faces, voic~ . bodies and other btomct rics agamst sctentifically tested behavioral i.ndacators to provide a numerical score of the likelihood that an mdlvtdual may be about to commit a terrorist act. "The goal ts to tdentsfy the perpetrawr m a set:ur uy s~mng before he or she has the chance to carry out the attack," sa ad Vcnu Govi ndaraju, professor of com- co- principal investigator on the project with Mark G. Frank, associ· ate professor of communication in the College of Ans and Scitnccs. The project , recently awarded an $800,000 grant by the National Sciencr Foundation, will focus on developing in real-time an accurate baseline of indicators specific to an mdtvtdual during extensive tntcrrogatlons while also providmg real -time dues during fas ter, rouunr secunty scrttnmgs. .. We arc developtng a prototype that exammcs a video m a num ber of different security senmgs, dutoma tically producing a single, mtegrated score of malfeasance likctihood," he satd. A key adva ntag e of the UB system is that it will incorporate mach1ne · learning capabilities, which will allow it to "learn" from its subjects during the course of a 20-minute interview. That's critical, Govindaraju said, because behavioral science research has repeatedly demonstrated that many behavioral dues to deceit are person-specific. "As soon as a new person comes in for an interrogation, our program will start tracking his or bcr behaviors and start computing a baseline for that individual 'on thr fly,'" he said. lbe rC'S('archm caution that no technology, no matter how pr<as<,ts a substitute for human jUdgment. " No behavior always guarantees that somrone is lying, but behaviors do predict emotions or thinking and that can help the security offi~r decide who to watch more carefully," said Frank. He noted that individuals often are randomly screened at security checkpoints in airpons or at bor· der crossings. "Random screening is fair, but is it effective?" asked Frank. "Tht question is, what do you base your drc:ision on-a random selection. your gut reaction or scic.nce?

The rrsult< ar< based on magnetic rrsonance irnagrs (MRJs) of smokers and nonsmokers in 368 MS potient< treoted in VB's Jacobs Neurological Institute (JNI), the univtrsity's Dcpanment of Neu rology in it< School of Medicine and Biomedical Scienas. Results of the research were presented recently at the 23rd Congress of the European Commtttee for the Treatment and Research in Multiple Sclerosis in Prague, Czech Republic. "' Cigarette smoke has many propnties that :uc toxic to the cmtra1 nervow system, wd cigarette smoking has been linked to higher susceptibility and risk of progressive multiple sclerosis," sa.Jd Robert Z1vadinov, professor of neurology, director of the BNA and first author on the study.

Another 16 participant< had experienced their first MS onset. Patients ranged in age from 3555 yeors and had been living with MS for an average of 13 yeors. The Expanded Disability Status Scale (EDSS), an average number derived from meosurrs of · functions of the central nervous syst<m based on scal<S ranging from 0 to I0, was 3. 1. Th.e higher the number, the greater the disability. Within the study cohort, 128 had a history of smoking: 96 were active smokers who had smoked pants had no actin smoking exposure. The aYn"age smoking duration was 17.6 yean and thC' aVC'ragc number of cigarettes smoked per day was 17. There were no sigmfi· cant diffa~ces between smoken and nonsmokers based on age, disease duration, ~ course and total lifetime use of diseasemodifying drugs. Analysis and wmparison of the MRJs from smoken and nonscnokcrs showed that the smokers had significantly higher disability scor<:s and lower brain ..arne than the non5III<lkcn. ,_also was a signif- iant relationship between a higher number of packs per day smoked and lower volume of the neocortex, the portion of the cerebral cortex that serves as the center of higher mental functions for humans.

Researchers also found th at m case-s where parents provided lower estimates of substance use, parents were nearly twice as likely to underestimate frequency of marijuana usc and quantit y of alcohol use. Parents also wen ltSS likely to be awarr of extent of US<" by younger teens and of thm chd dren's usc if they themselves had perso nal problems or were using alcohol more frequently. What is novel about these find angs is th at for the first lime , deta1lrd stati stics are available about parental knowledge of teen substance usc for families in which the teen's substance usc is causing the parent stress, but Lhr teen is not n«cssarily in treatment. Previous studies have been restricted to families with a teen in substanceabuse trcaunc.nt or families with no current substance UK issues. For a six-month reporting penod , 82 percent of parents ac curately evaluated the presence of t«n cigarette smoking; the parent<' reports co rresponded with the teens' reports of their own smokmg. Eighty-six percen t of parents accurately evaluated the pr~ncr of t«n alcohol usc, and 86 percent accurately reported the presence of teen marijuana usc. HOW('vt'r, only 72 percent of the parents in thr RLA study a~w... uratdy reponed thC' N presence of illicit drug usc (other than marijuana ) by teens. According to lead researcher Neil B. McGillicuddy, "This study begins to dispd the notion that parents don'l know the extent to which thtir ttens are using cigarettes. alcobol and illicit drugs. It seems that , despitt a frw exceptions, many parents do know the ex tent of their teenager 's sub· sunce usc. Par· cnts can use this knowledge to help themselves ..:ope with teen age substance use and the result ing stress on the family, as well as to begin conversations with their teen about mak· ing changes.· McGillicuddy is a research scientist al RIA with t:nrnsive back· ground in treatment interventions for parents of substance-abusmg adolescents, interventions for partners of addided persons and treatment for alcohol and drug· abusing adolescents. This research was funded by the Nat.Jonallnstitutr on Drug Abusr and published in thr most recent ISSU< of the Journal of Ch1/d and .Adolesant Subsrancr Abu.st' For this stu dy. 7S parents and their te~nagers wen• mtcrv1cwrd scpa rattl y ab<'ut th C' teen s' IC:ce nt use of e~garC"Ite~. alcohol. marijuana and other illiat drugs. Parent-participants were. on average, female (85 percent), 39 years of age with 13 years of education. Teen-participant< w.rc, on average, male (61 percent), 16 years of age and not receiving substance abust treatment (76 percent) . When parents' and teens' reports were discrepant, parents provided lower estimates of substance usc than t«ns. That is. tems tended to report grc.atrr fTequcncy and amo unt of substan ce usc . Al though some of these discrep ancies were small (for instance, regarding how often teens drank alcohol), others were substantial (parents wcr< neorly twice as likely to underestimate the frequency of manjuana use and the quantity of alcohol usc). In addition, McGillicuddy and coUcagues set out to find factors that might explain the discr<pan - cies in parc:nt-tcm reports of teen substance use. Parents were less aware of the extent of the tte.n's substa n ce use if the teen was younger (about 14 or 15). and if the parents did less monitoring of what their teens were doing after school, during the evening and on weekends. Together. these findings suggest that parents nC'fd to con· sider mcrea.sing their monitoring of how teens spend their time and begin dunking about substance usc at a significantly younger age. Lastly, parent< who arc caught up in their own issues or problems., whether str<SS<d, feeling depr<SS<d or using alcohol more frequently, also made less accurate rcporu. " What w< would hope that people come away with from this study 1s that parmu c.an be more awarr of thdr tern's substance usc," McGillicuddy aplamed, "by reducing their own alcohol OR, givmg more attention to what the1r teen is doing 2417 , particularly if the teen is younger, and takmg stc:ps to reduce their own psychological d.Jstres.s. Participation in parenting programs, especially those geored toward coping with an adolescent's substance usc, can give the parent important skills to deal with teen behavior and have been found to reduce the parent's distress." McGillicuddy's colleagues on the study were Robert G. Rychtarik, RIA se:njor reseal'ch scientist and research associate professor in the Department of Psychiatry in the School of Medicine and Biomedical Scienc<S; Elizabeth T.

Oft<n we are the only thing bctw~n them and a sentinel event. Sec us, hear us, feci us." Welcome to the nurse's world, through the words of those who live there. This telling reflection on the profession appears in a paper published in Nurs•ng Forum titled, appropriately, .. Giving Voice to Registered Nurses' Decisions to Work." Suzanne S_Dickerson, a.ssociatt professor in the School of Nursing, is first author. The paper presents results of an analysis of written responses to an open-ended question contained in a survey that assessed work sa ti sfaction of registered nurses The ~tudy's quantltallvt results wert puhhshed 111 2006 Analysis of the comments 1den ufied four mJjor theme\ com pet mg pnorHics, b.dan~. mg pnontu."'· pracuct deterr('nts and ~ollcgt.th" \upport, \~hKh encourage~ nurM'-. to stay in practice. ·ustening to the nu.r.scs' voices, it was amazing that in spite of the volume of dctc:rrents to working, they continued to care for their patients," Dickerson said . .. One emphasis that was newly appar· ent was that nurses repeatedly told about their work patterns or trajectory that reflected the need for flexibility to fit famil y needs." Demographically, the respon denll w= mostly female (97 .2 per· cent), mostly whir. (89.9 percent) and the majority,66.7 perccnt, w= married. Those currently working as nu=s were divided fairly evenly he-tween full-time and part-time positions (38 percent versus 32 paccnt) . Ofth< 332 who indicated their current position. two-thirds were invoJvcd m direct care of pa. uents, and more than half (53 per~ent) did so m hospitals Another 18 p~rce nt worked m ambulatory 'arr s.rttings.

In the rclakd theme of"balanc· ing priorities,'" nurses commented on the ncc:d to interrupt their job trajectory to car< for family, described returning to school in their middle yars and their wish for a better work schedule, less shift work on holidays and weekends, incre~d opportunity for promotion and for salary increases. Some nurses described switching positions to lcssm stress and lower the pace, and ta.king part- timC' positions for more pe-rsonal time and to avoid work-place politics. As one nurse comme nted : .. 1 have found as I age .. my time off IS morC' important than most all other asptcts.." A major theme under .. practice d<t<rrcnts" was pay inequity.

Yet our employers see us as <XptDdable, replaceable and inkrchangeable with a vari<ty oflesscr-trained support staff." The ftnal theme covered comments on why nurses stay in practice, and coUcgialsupport loomed large. ·My co-workers arc the reason I stay," wrote one nurse. '" I am grateful for the people I work with; wrote another ... . I could n~r do my job without them." Dickerson noted: .. The fact that collegial support was the most important factor to con tmue working demonstrates that 'nurses-supporting-nurses' could be dcvdopcd into a strong network to promote a solidarity that could be oper.tionahzcd through nurs· mg organizations. " It would behoove employers to listen to the nurses' voices to tmprove quality and at the samt time promote retention .. Additional authors on the studv were Carol S.

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.

Thc institute 's work with the South towns coaJjtion, for cxample, is central no1 only to the Southtowns' cconom1c growth, but to the broadcr picturt: of tourism devdopmC'nt in Western New York, explained Kathryn A. Foster, dircc· tor of thc Regional Institute. " ln addition to our own rCSC"arch initiatives shedding light on com· plex regional issues, our projects with community partners likc the South towns coalition have helped to guide change and suppon prog· rcss in areas ranging from regional governance and cconomic and tourism dcvdopment to smart growth, public· scrvicc delivery and planning," Foster said. "'The institute has workrd hard over the past dccade to m~ct Its mission as a universlty· based rc.search and policy center; our goa] is to fram~ challenging is.su~ With rdiable analysis to mform regional po~cy - making," she added. In domg its work. the Regional lnstitutc, a unit of thr UB law School. also IS playmg a major role m expanding and mhancmg UB'sstra· tc:g~c strrngt.h in Clvtc cngagrn1ent and public pohcy m LOnJunCtton with the goals of UB 2020.

Wde Co. buildmg on downtown BuffaJo will rcmforc~ 1ts conuniuncnt to being a vuibl~ resource and partner in advancing regional prosperity, Foster noted. Over the years, the Regional Institute's most visible--and it s signaturc:~ndeavor has been the State of the Region project, a founding initiative of the instjtute . The proj«t, which traruitioned in 2005 to an onlin~ formal to bcttcr scrv~ the rtgion, is a widdy wed r~urce for rdiablr infonnation on key issues affecting the region . Since first launched in 1999, the State of the Region project 's cngagement with more: than 200 community members has helped cstablish the mstitute's plact in the region and signaled it was serious about bemg a valuable community r~urc~. according to Paul Hogan , scnoor program officer for the John R. Oishe1 Foundat1on. Hogan has worked with th~ Reg1onallnst'itute on several foun dation -sponsored initiativcs, in dudmg the State of the Region prOJ«t. thC' Buffalo Niagara Cul tura_l Tourism Initiative and the Reg1onal Knowlcdgc Network , whoch Will ach1evc full build-out m 2008 and provide online acccss to maps. resourccs and data critical to understanding w.ucs afftctmg th~ bmational Bulfal<>- Niagara region. .. The: institute 's tate of the Region project was the first real anempt at pulling together into a single place data &om many sources on ma.ny different aspects of life in Western New York." Hogan a · plained. "The repon became an in· valuable resource for 'l""'Y people and organizations for that reason. "A large pan of the institute's sue· cess has ~ulted &om iu decision to involve people &om front-line community organizationL" Hogan added. "By bringing together com· munity leaders in a way that had never been done, the institute is able to determine what issues iilrt' truJy important to our rtgion." Hogan, along with the Community Health Foundation ofWestcrn & Central New York, currco~y is partnering with the Regional lnsti· tut< on the Reaching for Excdlence project to c.ngage th~ community in setting health carc priorities. "For a region to determine what faaors arc impacting quality oflife, tt must have some way to measurr what IS measurable," he explained. "'Using this infonnation, communi· ty leaders can develop a strategy to manage what has been measured. "'The institutt provicks innlu able insight into what actually is hap~nmg m our rcg1on , as op- posed to what everyone tlunks may be happening 10 our region." The Po~cy Brief series is among the institutc's recmt efforts to pro-vide decision-makers with data and analysis of timely regional issues. Since its launch in August 2006. 10 issues of the Policy Bricf-addrtssing issues ranging &om population dcclinc 10 parks funding 10 regional identity-have been released in a very accessible forma~ with much community acclaim. In late 2005, the institute also initiated Region's Edge, a research program on crossborder issues for the binational Bulfal<>-Niagara region. Now in iu I Oth anniversary year, the insutute appropriately is taking on the issue of ·change," Fostc.r noted.

I I ' I � 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.

"Theae state-<>f-the art expanded facilities will allow us to provide important nt:W information on multiple sclerosis, Parkinson's dis<a.s< and other doa.suting neurological condition~ that we hope will be of great benefit to patient>," he said. James R.

Michael E. Cain, dean of the UB medical school, said: "It is clear that to fulfill its potmtial of acc.llencr in research. education and clinical care, and to best serve the residents ofWestan New York. UB 's medical school and its part· ners must attract and retain top faculty working in state-of-the-art research and clinical programs. "The Buffalo Neuroimaging Analysis Cent<r is an m:dlent a ample of world-cla.ss faculty work· mg in a fint-rate facility to address medical challenges that alfect thousands of people," Cain added "The r<S<arch capabilities of the center will help us achieve the full potential of the vision all of us share for health education, health sci<ne< and health caR' in Buffalo and Western New York and beyond." FrC"dcrick E. Munschauer I It, profrssor and chair of the U B Department of Neurology, added: "Dr. Zivadinov and the staff of the BNAC at the JNI have created new Imaging technique~ that greatly enhance our ability to detect and masure the effects of MS on the brain. Wt" arc vt"ry acitfil that these advances will lead dir<ctly to the rapid development of ne-w drugs for MS--drug1 that may even bdp MS patients improve." The major work of the BNAC involves storing, manipulating and atracting u~ful information from tens of thousands of high-~lution, three- and fourdimensional magnetic resonance imaging {MRI) masures of the brain, .pinal cord and optic nerve for raearch studies, clinical trials and individual patimt analysa. Thcs.t images arc abk: to show the process of atrophy under the dilea.s<'s onllaught and link stages of atrophy with physical and cognitiY< symptoms. This information allows physicians to make a more accuratr diagnosis and prognosis of dis<a.s<. The res<arch ba.sed on the BNACs analysis ofMRI images ha.s led to sev<ral new insights into understanding the pathophysiology of multiple sclerosis. The BNAC is ~ted with more than a dozm institutioru, nationally and internationally, and ha.s par· ticipated in more than S8 million in resean:h projects U1YOiving int.mlll· tiona! collabocation with a variety of clinicians and scimtists.

Symposium to address the issue of change o Regional Institute will celebrate 1Oth anniversary by holding publicforum By IIACHEL M . T£AMAH R~tr Contnbutor HE Regional Institute wi ll mark its lOth an niversary by reflecting on the issue of change-how it happens, why we resist it and what 11 means fo r the Buffalo Ntagara region-at a symposium to be held Oct.

The Symposium on Change, wh1ch will convene regtonalleaders, community activists and the general public, will be held 12:30·5 p.m. in Asbury Hall m Babeville, formerly known as The Chu rch, 34 1 Delaware Ave., Buffalo, with a rKtption to follow. "The Regional Institute's lOth birthday prcst'nts an ideal opportunity to take a step back and consider the 1ssue of change, not JUSt how we have changed as a reg1on over the past decade, but how change takes place on a broader !lt.:a lt'- 111 the economy. 1n our soual stru'-1ure and ~:ven Ill orga mzauons," satd Kathryn A. foster . d1rector of the R<'glonallnslltu te T The institute formed m Cktobf:r 1997 as part of UB's m1ssion m civic engagement, public policy and public service. Since then , it has worked to shed hght on governance and pubhc-policy issues facing regio ns through research, projects and imtiatives, often in par-tnership with the binational Buffalo Niagan community. " It is fitting that after a decade of :nflutncing change on so many levds, the institute provides the reg1on with a unique forum to ad dress this complex topac that IS also fundamental to progress m Buffalo Niagara," said Nils Olsen, dean and professor m the UB Law School. whiCh ovt'rsees the mstltute The ~ymposi u m's three keynote speakers wtU address vanous t~s of change, tncludingsoc1ety's connu:tmg tendenCieS tO both reS ISt and t'mbrace change Andrew Reamer, .t Brook1n~s lnstllullon fellow who h.t" worked extensavcly w1th lo"al and stau governmenu on e(.unonHc de velopment. w11l d1scu;;.s econom1'- change.

Even though these researchen are using money from outside funding so= to buy these computen, the univrnity realizes oost savings because IT staff does not have to prepare the machines for use at UB, Rinnc:r adds . ln addition , the low pncing on thesr machines-US 1s savmg approximately 35-40 percem over the prrviously best pru:r from DeU-should allow tht' umverstty to refresh mach an~ more often, he sa~. If the university co ntmucs to spend roughly the same amount of money on replacement equipment as It ha.s in the past, it will be replacing equipment approximately one ~ar sooner than it had before. he 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 study co-au th ored by Debabrata (Debu) Talulr.dar, asso· ctatr professor of marktting m the School of Management, explored several variauons of cherry picking to determine how retailer profits and consumer savings were unpacted.

HEMISTS at VB have dtvelopcd a novel way to grow chemically pure, C zinc oxide thin fLJms characterized by dense, bristle-like nanostructures and a n~ method for depositing them on tempcrature-se:nsitive substrates. induding polyme.rs, plastics and tapes. The research. published online last month rn the }oumal of Physr· ml Chemistry, may make possible the deposition of versatile zinc oxide films onto flexible surfaces, enabling the development of more efficient solar ceUs, liquid-crystal displays, chemical sensors and optoelectronic devices. High -quality zinc oxide thin films are versatile and can be fabricated into many shapes. induding films. nanorods and nanopartides. Howt'VCI", there is a drawback: They wuaUy are deposited at high tern· peraturts, which can damage or even mdt the substrate they are coating. "'That makes it impossible to coat plastic, a hard drive, an electronic device or even co nta ct By contrast, the UB researchers have developed a rechnique in which the metal oride molecul ~ are cool enough to safely coat temperature -se nsi~ substrates. The VB researchers grow the thin films by first reacting zinc metal and oxygen in the presence of a high power, electrical arc discharge. The m<thod they developed, called Pulsed Arc Molecular Beam Deposition (PAMBD), strikes a discharge betwttn two puro zinc rods "This lightening-like discharge creates a bright, blue plasma five times hotter than the surface of the sun," Garvey said. At these high temperatures, the pure z.inc meta1 i.s vaporized and reacts completely with an or:ygen gas pulse to create chemically zinc oxide molecules. The gasrous zmc oxide lS then sprayed through a tiny aperture, a process that results in cooling the expanding gas down to about 50 degrees Kelvin. he explained. al - A cpdot stroll on • surrounded by &11m leaves crunching underfoot u without equal Western New York 11 home to some beautiful fall foliage that dispbys its peak color in midto lau-October.

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 mean SAT .score for &eslunen this fall is 1193, a 14-point increa5<: from last fall, despitt a decrease nationally in SAT .scores, notes · · Annstroni director of admissions. Moreover, all freshmen ranked within the top two sdectivitygroups. based on SAT scores and high school average, as ddin<d by SUNY's Mission Review proc:as. Fifty-fi..: percmt ranked in the "most sdectiv<" group, while 45 percmt ranked m the "highly s<lectiv<" group. "We are cxcit<d to haV< the most academically talented cnccring class in UB history,.. says Satish K. Tripathi, provost and cucutiv< vi• president for acadmlic affairs. "' We'r~ workmg hard to attract the most academically ambitiow students from across N~w York Stat<, the U.S. and the world," he says, noting that the quality of the students has been increasing r:vcn a..s the enrollment continues to grow. ..

What's the secret to VB enrolling the brightest class in its history? The recruitment c.ffon in the Office of Admissions, a.s w~ll as other units across the campus, has focwed on a varirty of initiativesscm~ new, som~ old standbys-that are designed to attract the top stud<nl5 to UB. These include mor< personal outreach, an emphasis on acadcnic ca:ellence and revitalized scholarship programs, according to Armstrons and recruitment staff from some kq schools that b.;,.., S«l\ an increase in both the number of intended major> and the quality of those students. Among the initiatives: • A general university· wide refocusing on the "learning experience." which, Armstrong notes, bas belp<d to increase the yield of top students. New programs include Discovery S<minars. which b<gan last fall and allow stud<nts to engage with faculty on a broad range of scholarly topics and current issues, and the Und<rgnduat< T Acadanies, which are oommunities of faculty, students and staff who share oommon goals and int<r<sts. The first two acad<mi.-the Civic Engag<m<nt A.c.ad<my and the R<search Exploration A.c.ademy, began this fall. The univenity also r.antly established a University Honors CoUege designed to create smaU schola.rly communities within the broader research university. • Rtvitaltz<d scholuship pro- grams. UB has revamped and rmamcd some of th~ univasity· wide scholarship prog~s. Armstrong says, and estabtish<d the University Honors College. In addition, studmts acupt<d to VB rec:ri..:d an upgrad<d acuptance package that includ<d an offer of admission, as well as particular scholarship information. Studc:nrs rcCClved sepa rate invitations to Join the various scholarly com· munities.

In the School of Engin=ing and Appli<d Sciences, Dean Harvey G.

Those students also will partic1pa1e in special field tnps and insidc.r VISits to local manufac· turing plants, and hav~ personal tntcraction with promtncnt VB Engineering faculty, she says. The School of Nursmg , whiCh along with Engineering is one of the few units at UB that admits freshmen as majors, targets the most high -achieving appticants by offering a Dean's Scholanhip-$3,000 a year for four years-and an additional one-year Dorothy Darlak scholarship for the very top students, says Elaine Cuskcr, assistant dean for student affairs in the nuning school "We try ..:ry bard to let the best st ud~o ts know that nursing is loolcing for them," eu.J<er says.

The group is composed of community members, alumni, .rudenu and parents, &culty and staff. Each member will have an important role to play in helping UB achieve greater prominence among the nation's leading public research univenities. What Is the,,_,.., history? The need for such an advocacy group was recogniud with the implementation of UB 2020 and fonnulation of plans to grow the uni~rsity by 40 pereent between now and 2020. UB Bdievcn w... launched on Aug. 7 by a coalition of more than I 00 business and community leaders who share a belief that a larger, stronger UB will translate into a brighter future for all of Buffalo Niagara. UB BeliCVCTS now numbers more than 2,500 individuals. It's particularly hearten· ing that membership has increased by more than 500 individuals since an email appeal was sent to faculty, sWf and studalu earlier this w<ek by Prosident John B. Simpson; Roben G. Hnenig, chair of the Faculty Smale; Janiecc Kiedrowski, chair of the Professional Staff Smale; and Pritt A. GroWtscb, president of the Student Association. -,.w.. lt cnated7 To realiu iu growth agenda, the university is going to require sig· nilicant stat<: funding. as well as chan~ in some slat<: polici<s. For aample, SUNY's uniYmi.ty centers and four -year colleges currently have the oamc tuition , although there arc unique costs related to UB's role as a major public research university that arc not r=vered in that tuition. Tbtrc is a nttd for a diffcrcntiaJ tuition policy that would allow UB to charge an appropriate higher tuition than a four-year coU~c. As Presidnu 0 those institutions.

This spring, the university hosted special breakfasts and lunchwns at Preview Day gear~ toward ac etpttd students who were awarded merit scholarshipS. These events gave students and their familie-s a chance to interact with the deans, faculty and staff from their disci· plints. •That was certainly a very big plus for us," Armstrong says. The School of Pharmacy and Pharmaceutical Sciences is one school that works with Admis· sioru to stage special Preview Day =eptions for intended pharmacy $1udenu, "with a heightened focus on the most talented studenrs.• says Jennifer M. Hess, assistmt dean and director of admissions. "These events include targeted messaging and a penonalized presence from Dean Wayne Andenon and key pharmacy school &culty and mff, she adds. The School of Engineering also works with Admissions to capital· itt on theso university-wide cvenu. as wdl as initiating some outreach activities of iu own, says Collins· Gross. For cwnple, the school offers tours and presentations at Discov<ry Day, Open House and Preview Day, and ensures that &culty arc in at · tmdancc to mm students. "We also develo~ a one-page engineering flyer and refnge:rator magnet that we: mailed to seiC"cl students and distributed at rrcruitment events." she says, addmg that wt'rC' trying to touch as many basC"S as we can." " Wr have identifie-d some of our distinguishing characteristics. stressing high -quality programs, ou tstanding faculty, a se nse of commumty and enriched curricuJar cxpcrienca, and we've worked hard to get this message out there to prospective students, partnts, school counselor and other constituent groups,"' she says. Recruitment officials also ha~ worked hard to increase prospec· tive students' personal encountcn with the university. For eumple, the Alumni Ambas· sador Program has been apanded, with the number of ambassadors growing to 228-1 t 3 of whom are from out of state. Ambassadors host receptions, take prospective students and their families out to dinner, visit high schools and at tend college fairs. On another front, adm1ssions staff pick up the phone and talk to students personally as they review applicauons. "They ask 1f the students have any quesnons and if there's anything else they can do for the student,"' Ann strong says . "This ts a re-al one-to-one process that has hdped us very drarnaucally." In the School of Pharmacy and Pharmaceutical Sciences. the personal touch is key to the school's recrujtme.nt efforts. says Hess. .. Cindy Konovitz, assiStant dean for r«ruitment and advisane.nt, personally meets with hundreds of prosp«tive studen ts and thcir nmilits and offers tours ·of thC' school ; it's not uncommon for Cindy to personally walk familia over to 12 Capen Hall for the daily Visit UB program and ca mpu s tour," Hess points out. The UB phannacy school differs from many other pharmacy pro· grams in that UB " maintains a very personalized and welcoming ap· proach toward hdping students get to lcnow UB, the pharmacy school, the Buffalo area and all thatw. ha"" to offer," she says. "When .rudents call, they spea1c with people; when $1udents visit our Web site, they find helpful and welcoming tools to bdp undersm>d and navigate our programs. We penonally answer every email message that W< =eM:, offer opportunities for prospective stu· dents to shadow UB pr<· pharmacy students, and provide an active Pre-Pharmacy Cub and a detailed Pre-Pharmacy l..isucrv." Armstrong notes that all th~ tmtiatives ''have allowed us to tncrea.R the number of apphca uoru and be more sd«ttvt" in the srudrnts we are ablt to accept... In 2000, UB accepted 68 percent of applicants: th is fall, less than 52 per· cent of apphcants wae accept«!. "A lot of our efforts, in addition to thtsc new initiatives, arr old things we do on an ongoing basis. II involves a lot of hard work; we're building on our successes evrry year," she says. Armstrong stresses the impor· ranee of the en tin UB community in the recruitment process. 'Ibis IS a group effon," she says. "The Office of Admissions can bring the applications in and can bring the students to campus., but it takes the entire community for studenu to feel comfortable here and to he able to feel welcomed and receive the knowledge about all the won· derful things W< have to offer here. Tha(s the key to success: It's a lot of hard work by the admissions office, along with the outstanding contributions and support \ft get from the rest of the community • The elforu arc paying off. Arm· strong points out that the goaJ for the fall C"ntering class was to tncrease the yidd of the top tier of academically talented students by I percent. "It's increased by a little over 2 percent this year," she says �Meeting affordable housing needs =;-,.:..,...... Conferences, roundtables celebrate 20 years of work by UB Law clinic - ... . ....

"Questions of the public role of religion and the relationship of religions to the stat< are all such important issues right now," says Sullivan, who direcu the univer· sity's newly est.ablislled Law and Religion Program. "Rdigio..,..dies for a long time were prerty ob· scurt. It's now partly because of the religJous revival of the past 25- 30 ytars-and growing awareness of the importance of religion-that people who study religion find the books and articles they write have a certain immediate political currency.

" I think this is significant ," he sa1d . "I think it's a recognition of the en tical nature of the academy dod tra1nmg m the delivery of health ca rt m the future." In add1t1on to S1mpson, U B reprcsentattv~ are Dav1d L. Dunn, vtcc prcs1dent for health sctenccs, .tnd Ma ry H Gresham, dean of the G raduate School of Education. Stm pson also d1scu ssed his ro le on the.· state Higher Educauon Lo rn miSSIOn that IS charged with 1dent1fymg ways to 1mprove the quality of higher education in New York. A focus of the commission, Simpson said, apptan to be about deciding if New York State wanu ftagsbip public research universi ties. "The stattu quo, I think in the minds of all thooc on this commission, is not accePtable,• he added. The commiss.ion is discussing · ua-.c..be lnstnlmefttal In helping us achieve - - need to with the Sute Leglslat""' and elected oftldals." PRESIDENT IOHN 8 SIMPSON such topics u differential tuit~ and predictable tuition increases, how the state system of higher ed u cation is governed and the ways in which capital projects are financed , he said. Simpson said he points out to htS coUeagues on the commission that thert are two basic sources of funding for public univers1ti~: revenue from tuition and rcvenut fro m the state. He noted that histoncall y over the pW 30 years, states slowly have been withdraw ing suppo rt from pubhc high er education whiJt tuition goes up. ..A conversat ion about increasing tultlon 15 perhaps appropriate, but it's also important to remember that that is necessitated because the state contribution has been going down; be said "If you're going to talk about changing tuition, you also ought to at least talk about what the state's contribution is to its higher education irutitutions.· As part of his address to tbe council, Simpson also reported sbat mor< than I ,500 persons have signed up to participate in UB Believer., the university's new advocacy group consisting of members of the community, alumni and faculty, staff and studenu. "This "falls at a critical time in this university's future: Simpson said. "UB Believers can be instrumental in helping us achieve what wt need to with the Sta~ Legislature and elected officWs." Simpson noted that if he visiu a state leglslator and asks for more money and more freedom, "'it's likely to be greeted with a because all coUege and university presidents in the state are asking for the same thing. "'If, ho~er, the commumty IS be.hind me and lets their elected officials know, then I think the conversation I have. with the elected officials becomes a very different kind of conversation," he said. Simpson told council members that a letter signed by h1m and the presidents of the Faculty Senate and Profess•onal Staff Senate and Lhc unde rgraduate Student Assoc iation was emailed Sunday night to all faculty, staff and stude nts urging them to become UB Believers. lfwn" Recipe for a cookbook search 0 S<rws 34,000 (apprOXImately 1M •umber ofstudmu ftM:llhy a•d Sl4jf ar UB) In a small to mecliurn room, mix a beaplng tablespoon of culinary curiosity and one comput<r.

A report released la st week by UB Law School instructor Sam Magavern and his students suggests that Buffalo, the state and the nonprofit community can do just that by"greening" thcir affordable housing programs. The report was presented to a pand oflocal housing experts. including Thomas Van Nortwick, regional dir<rtor of the New York Division of Housing and Commwtity Renewal, at an Affordable Housing and the Enviro nment Roundtable held in conjunction with the UB Law School's celebration of"Affordable Housing Month.• UB Law's Affordable Housing Clinic h as helped secure $I 65 million in affordable housing for Western N~ York residents since its founding 20 yean ago. The report is available at http:// green -houslng -buH•Io .wlkl · sp.Kes.com . Magavern, who tnches in thc Affordable Housing Clime. says he was surpnsed by some of the study's findings. .. You might thtnk that greener housmg is mo re expe nsive,n he explains, .. but the research shows I JUSt tht opposite. Over the life of a home. a gretner home will save the owner large amounts of money, mainly by lowering utility bills." What would greener affordable housing look like? "When people think about green housing, they often think about new construction : Magavern notes ... But for a cit y like Buf· falo, the uy is not building new housing so much as preserving, rehabilitating and weatherizing our existing housing stock." The Buffalo region has plen ty of existing housing stock, with more than 42,000 vacant wtits in the metropolitan region, according to the study. The City of Buffalo, in particular, is plagued with abandoned houses and has plans to d<mOiisb 1,000 wtiu per year. "From an ecological perspective, our top priority should be to rrnt:aliu: our urban core," Magavem says. " It is incredibly wasteful for housing development in Western N<w York to uep sprawling out into farmland a n d woodlands while abandoning and demolish i.ng our e:xisting howing stock... Weatherizing an existing home has huge benefits m fightmg pov eny and pollution, tht study rt ports. The federa.l Weathent.auon AssiStance Program estiinates that weatherizauon lowers utility bills for a gas-heated home by S461 per yur, while rcducmg carbon dioxide emissions-the leading culprit in global warming-by SEfk ..., c..p.lgn for the c I ,350 pounds- "Like many people, I was sur~ priscd to learn just how much pollution we cause building and oper- ating our bowing," says Mag:avem. In Buffalo, for a:unple, residential ene rgy usc is responsible for 34 percent of the city's greenhouse gas emissions. PoUution tends to hurt people with low incomes the most. accord· ing to the report. Asthma. which is aggravated by air poUution, is most common in inner-city neighborhoods where the air quality tmds to be the worst. People living in povmy also will bear the brunt of global warming. MagaY<rn says. "If you care about poverty and bomelessness, then you should be very concerned by global warming because, as Hurricane Katrina showed, rising sealcvel.s and storms can cause massive homclcssneu and wreak havoc in low-income communities.'" Magavcrn wrote the report with the hel p of UB law students.

And as the G~nder Institute celebrates its IOtb anniversary this year, its leaders recall then was a time not too long ago wben the organization wu little more than a dream in the minds of some very active and dedkated faculty. Pat Sbdly, associate director of the Gender institute, says lREWG started out as a •c.otttie of feminist scholars• who met informally for many years in people's homes and on campus to discws the future of women at UB. The goals of the grassroots organization were to strengthen the statw of the Women's Studies Program and create•some sort of office or institute on women,• Shelly says. Margarita Vargas, co-director of the Gender Institute and a.ssociate professor of Spanisb in the Dtpartment of Romance Languages and Literatures, CoUege of Arts and Sciences, began taking part in these gatherings two years before IREWG was founded. But, shc says. others have talked about meetings going back as long ago as 20 years . .. Thert wtrt wo~n meeting since- the 1970s,"' Vargas says ... I was a junior faculty mtmber on the first exe-cutive committer when the institute was formed and it was a treme-ndous learning experience. It was very significant to me to ~ a part of that group from the beginning and seeing !founding co-directors ! Jsabtl !Marcus, professor in thC' US Law SchooiJ and Margaret !Acara, professor emeritus of pharma ~ cology and toxicology, School of Me-dicine and Biome-dical Sci · encesJ going from group to group and having continuous meetings with people inside and outside tht university. It was just an in· undation of mformahon from theM women who had so much knowledge and resources." One of the most powerful cata· lysu in the creation of the institute was the 1996 President's Task Force on the Statw of Women ar UB, Sbelly says, referring to the landmark report that revealed gender-hued discrepancies in salaries and tenure-track appoint menu at the unive-rsity, u weU as a dearth of women in upper administration. UB underwrote the tim three years of the institute with a grant totaling $240,000, she adds, and continu.. to provide consistent support through the Office of the Provost. ln the past 10 years. the Gcn· der institute bas grown both in programming and faculty involvement, says Rosemary Dziak, co· director of the Gender Institute and professor of oral biology rn tht School of Medicin< and Biomedical Scitncts. The institute awards about thr« $3,000 grant~ to UB faculty annuaUy, and grant applications have- tripled in the past year, Dziak note-s. The insti· rute plans to offer graduate and undergraduate scholarships and a travel grant as well. .. The boundaries are really breaking down among the differ- ent disciplines," she says, apl.ain ing that gender has be-come an increasingly important topic in the Kicnca b«ausc organizatioru such u the National Institute.s of Health are pushing for more studies on women,s health. .. It's becoming more universal," l>zW< adds ... Tbert's more and mort people from the biological and heolth sciences actively involved.· Interest in gender is on the rise in the humanities as well. "You have ftminist scholarship in comparative literature, geography, English, languages," SbeUy says. "It's no longer ,only womm's studies or global gmda studies inv<stigating questions/about gender." Adds V«rgas: "Now you can be in romance languages and converse theoretii:any with people in Eng· lish or history or geognpby.• The ~e of tventa sponsored by lREW~ also illustrates ita suecas. Alth~ugh the institute began as a place to organiu small-scale workdlbps and luncheons, it has become- the force behind such ambitious projects as the 200 I Pan Arn Women's Leadtnbip Conference, whi~ featured such notabl< speakers jU anthropologist Jan< Goodall, New York State Health Commissione-r Antonia Nove:Ua and U.S. Sen. Hillary Rodham QintoO: in addition,IREWG organiza a biannual graduate student symposium on gende-r, as well as sponsors an annual International Women's Film Festival, Ge-nder Wttk celebration and a Distin· guished Faculty Lecture, featuring UB faculty m<mbers at the top of their fields. Among the highlights of this year's Gender Wtek is the key note lecture on Monday by Sarah Schulman, an acclaime-d novelist , histonan, playwnght and longtim< sociaJ activist, entitled .. United in Anger: A History of Act·Up." Also sp<aking on Wedntsday will be anthropologist Sue V. Rosser, one of the most vocal proponents of women in science, mathematics. medicine and technology in the past 20 years and the first dean of an academic colle-ge at the Georgia certified race, one of UB's most enduring traditions, ts one of the most popular races 10 Westnn The race, which is open to .saiow and casual runners and walktrs, will stan and finish outside Alumni c:oc: .... iitlvelt~, -raphy, EngUsh, ~ · It 's -ly - no longw ··•tudlu <W global gender studies ---·· lnvutlgatlng quatlotu PAT SH[llY Institute of Technology in that school's II~~ history.

She also notes that last year three UB faculty members spoke about future careers for women at the Garret Oub, a privare womc:.n 's dub in Buffalo, plus Gender Week keynoter Judith Heumann met with teachers and studenu at the Eri< County Heolth Center for Children in Buffalo SchooJ84 _ Beyond countless contribu tions to research and education on gender at the university, Shelly says !REWG SCids an important message that UB i.< a place that cares about the quality of work life, statw and position of women. Women made up only 26 percent of fuU-time faculty (I 7 percent tenured) in 1994, according to the President's Task Force on the Status of Women at UB. This~. Shelly says, nearly half of ntw faculty hires were "NOmen. "If you look at the ckpartments. you rea!iu the numbers are pretty equal," says Vargas. "But the quos· tion is still raised.

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 Swiss pharmaceuticals giant Novartis, aJong with its generics division Sandoz, together baV< provided SI million for research and fellowships. which SOPPS will we to expand its laboratory for protein therapeutics and to support the work of postdoctoral scholan and graduate students on site. The grant also enables the school to provide seed money for sattal UB f.oculty research projects in the 6dd. Dean Wayne K. Anderson noted that the Novartis grant opens the door for UB to begin building on its plan to become the first uni - v~rsity worldwide with an interdisciplinary program that applies pharmaceutical sciences-particularly in the areas of phannacokinctics and pharmacodynamics (PKJPD)-to the devdopment of protein drugs. "'This new effort is a strong testament to a quality program and innovative faculty. At the leading edge of new science, thls represents an exciting development for our school and the university in the collaborative, in terdisciplinary New York State Center of Excdlcncc in Bioinformatics and Life Sciences," Anderson said. Donald R. Stanski, global head of modeling and simulation at Novartis, identified the opportunity to combine the modeling needs of the rich biological development pipelines at Novanis for innovative medicines and at the Sandoz generics division for the development of foUow-on biological drugs with the academic expertise at UB. .. This collaboration will create new approaches to using the pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics ofbiological products for the development of new medicines," Stanski said. Ajaz Hussain, global head of biopbarmaccutical dcvdopment at Sandoz. enthusiastically supports this collaboration b«ausc it will "greatly contnbute to development or novd methods for understand- ing mechanisms of actions and for cstabluhing comparability of biosimilar products." Nova.rtis is the onJy pharma ~ ccuticals company going beyond the traditional research and d~ ~ velopmenr of new medicines. The Basel-based company has leadership positions in generic pha.rma ~ ccuticals through Sandoz, along with leading positions in human vaccines, animal health products and ore medicines. The laboratory for protein therapeutics will be the 6nt step in the UB pharmacy school's plans to establub a Center for Protein Therapeutics devoted to advanc ~ ing research and improving the understanding , formulation , analysis, development and testing of protein drugs, the most rapidly eKpanding class of drug treat ~ ments for many cardiova.scuJar, renal, gastrointestinal, rheumato ~ logic and neurological conditions and diseases. William ). )usko, UB Distin· guished Professor and chair of the Department of Pharmaceutical Sciences, said the idea for the center came from his coUeague, loscph P. Balthasar, associate professor of pharmaceutical scicnccs, during meetings of SOPPS f.oculty to identify strategic strengths in their school as part of the UB 2020 strategic planning process. "Joe proposed this idea about protein therapeutics, point ing ~-hpl Young alumni help Buffalo familyo ayiiMN FltYI.SNG RqxKtcr Staff Writ~ T HIRTY UB alumni have left a positive mark on a Buffalo family of seven through their recent participation in a Habitat for liu manity home restoration prOJC'Cl ..

Balthasar indicated that as be and othu faculty in the De· partment of Pharmaceutical Sciences discussed plans for the center, Novartis con tacted him to discuss the need for advanced studies in protein therapeuti cs. By coincidence, Novartis had reached the same conclusions as the department facuhy: there is substantial need for the training of scientists in the application of pharmaceutical sciences to protein therapeutics, and the UB department 1s ideally suued to such a crucial undertaking. .. There isn't anythmg Hkr thas anywhere, a center devoted to furthcnng lht application of pharmaceutical sciences to protein drugs. To ha~ a main focw in PK/PD of proteins is umque,• Balthasar said. " UB is arguably one of the only places that can have a center of this t')'pe beca.US(' of the university's long-standing reputation in the areas of PK/PD :tnd largely because of people lib: Bill )usko, wbo is the leader in these anas in the world." The UB progr:tm in protein therapeutics is expanding at a time when this area of research is in critical n~ of more accurate !<Sting and analysis of its products, Balthasar added. '"A5 more protrin drugs arc developed, we are finding that these agents are very complex. They are much more difficult to work with than the traditional, what we caU sm.U- molecule drugs. Because: of the intricate properties of these protein drugs. many of the effects that are observed in the clinic have not been predicted based on prior work done in vitro or in an1mal studies. There have been recent instances where the.re have been catastrophic side effects on first · in -human dosing of these agents," he said. " It is likely that if there was more tunc spent in trying to understMld the pharmacokinetics and phar· macodynamics of these therapies that better predictions could be made about safe doses in fint -in· man studies, the fint clinical in=· ligations of a new drug entity.'" )uslco added th:tt there is a "lack of basic understanding of the myriad properties of therapeutic proteins.

Physicians brace for football injuries By LOIS aAIWI Contributmg Editcx OOTBALL f~er is upon the nation onct again. The soaring of the pigskin signals tht start of the .. busy" season for chcerlradtrs, marching bands and, inevitably, sporu medicine physicians. "After only a few days of practice at UB we've bad three players with ACL injuries. a medial collateral ligament tear, a dislocated shoulder and a dislocakd elbow." said Marc Fineberg. chief of sports medicine in the School of Medicine and Biomedical Sciences. Uniwnity Sports Medicine docton serve .. team physicians for the Buffalo Bills. the BuJ&lo Sabres and Weste.rn New York's major collegiate football t~e UB Bulls. the Buffalo Slate Bengals and the Erie Community College ~ts. They al.;o treat many of the area's high school teams. Prevention is the primary goal of everyone imolved in the sport, but when large, highly charged males engage in bodily contact, injuries a.re ineviublt. Knee and ankle sprains are tht most common in· juries treakd during football season, followed by concussion and shoulder sprains, said Fineberg. Th~ knee injury most common in football is a sprained medial collateral ligament, or MCL. one of four Ugaments that support the knee joint. MCL injuries, which usually occur during a tackle or block-sometime'S becaust of an illegal hit-heal on their own without surgery, said Fineberg. Less common, but more seriow, i.s a tom anterial crudatt ligament, described as unraveling like a braided rope. A tom ACL happens most often during a quick change F of direction, requires surgery and takes the player out for the season, Fineberg said. How to prevent knee injuries? "MCL injuries may be reduced by wearing a double-hinged knee brace,• he said ... Using them re mains controversial, but we think thty provide added protection against MCL injuries. On the other hand, no brace has been proven to protect the ACL" Conditioning pbyers to be sttonger, more 6enblc and more agile may help reduce ACL injuries, sUSiain.s a second blow to the bead is at risk of second-impact syn~ drome, which studies have shown can result in sudden death. • lf a coach or trainer suspccu a pbyer has bad a concussion, he or she should take the helmet away and put that player on the 'doctor's team,'" said Fineberg. "There must be complete resolution of the in· jury before the athlete is allowed to play again, and that decision is not the player's. not the parents', not the coach's; it'1 the physician's." along with replacing old Astroturf with newer, more forsiving sur&as and wearing the right shoes. noted Fineberg. "Shoes with really long cleats grip better for in=ased pcrIOnnanoe, but may also put a player at greater risk of karing an ACL" Concussion is gaining rccognition as a serious ......,... - ' " injury, particular- foodtal Muon. ly at the profesSigns to look for include dizzi· sional level.

Com mon shoulder injuries include"AC joint" sp~sepa­ ration at the bump on top of the shoulder that marks the junction between the shoulder blade and the collarbone. Proper-fittingshoulder pads may help avoid these injuries. which rarely require surgery. Another common problem is a dislocated shoulder, which occurs when the labrum, the cartilage around the sockrt. tears. Training focusing on rotator cuff conditioning may help prevent these tears. Players other than quarterbacks can wear a harness to support a shoulder weakened by a labral tear. These ttars often require arthroscopic surgery to eliminate the painful q>Uodes of instability, said Fineberg. Everyday maladies aside, the most catastrophic injury a rowt8 football player can sustain is to the neck or spine. •we saw a rapid dtcline in neck injuries when spearing-using the bead as a weapon-was outlawed Iit now garners a 15-yard penalty!." he said. "Players DOW are trained to lacldc with the head up.• lmprov· ing neck strength and flexibility may help protect against this type of injury, along with good coaching. he noted. "Football is a dangerous game." Fineberg said. "The only thing we can do is try to minimize the risks by providing the safest environment possible. That involves the pla~rs.. coaches, officials, parents, trainers, doctors, even the people who mainaain the field. It's everyone's responsibility." ............... _............. ... .. ___ ............... =::;...,....-. _.,.......... .. _, ..........lor .--··-.. .............. ..,........ . _ ~ ~ ...... _,...._I:JO ....... ~ -~ Tho ......... ~ .. 5·JOp.m.lntllo~-· --c--.• bwog- ~ . .

Of B sailed in on the Mayflower and was whacked by a fdlow coloruSL What foUowed in America from the 17th century to the present, &ays cultural analyst and author David F. Schmid, is a form of"entcrtairunmt by murder," a ghastly enthrallment that contlates some of Amencans' favorite preoccupalions: consumerism, titillauon by cclebnty gossip and violence. .. Despite our overdevdoped lusts for the" 'dark Side,'" he &ays, "Arnencans seem to have no senK at all of how w~ud our cngrosstng mter~st tn the macabre appears to those ouu tde thts country. The Bnttsh·born Schmid, an assoct.ate profe.ssor of Enghsh tn the Collcg< of Arts ind Scocnccs, teaches classes tn popular cultur~ and cultural studies. He as the author of"Natural Born Celebnties: ~nal Killers an Amcnc.an Cuhurc (2005) and has two books"' prog· rcss: "The Sarlct Thread: A History of HomtCide in American Popular Culture .. and .. Mean Streets and More: Spaa tn Cnmc Fiction." " It is not only smal killers, but all lands of murderers, that AmttlCanS find compelling," Schmid says. "The thrill and horror evoked by murder narratives bring us close to . theo< 'others; who hold w m thelf thrall beawc, on the one bond, they arc so lik< us, and on the other, so differenL "We fctishiu the hves of celeb· rities and shopping is a national spnrL but moil of us arc unfamiliar with the faa that throughout our !Wtory, Americans have con· sumed murder on a wand ocalc. lt is a divers1on that is familiar and comfortable to us. Whtn J first cam< to the States, I was 5tunned by just bow pervasive prcoccupa· tion with violence was among ordinary Americans. • M.,.t societies, perhaps aU, find murder and murderers of compellmg mterest," he &ays, "but Amencans have taken this fascmation to another level entirely." Schmtd says Amencan cnme literature and Americans' thirst for murder narratives harkens back to the mtd - 17th c~ ntury. when scaffold sermons by the intcUcctual stanof Puritan New liiJiand began to be preached. .. Later, they were collected, prmtcd and sold to an eager pubhe," he says. ..Over time, these were ex· panded to in clude the lives, last words and dying confessions of assorted murderers. Trial notes, biographies of victims, bits of po· etry and other material eventually were included as well." Up to th< mid - 19th century, hundreds of such accounts were published in New England alone Among the most popular was the true crime magumc The Amtr~cRn Bloody Regis<c, based on England's "Ncwgatc Cakndar,"both of wlticb combined moralism witb explicit detaib about various crimes. The popuiM culture of the oat 100 yoars was marl<.ed by lurid n<WSpaper murder reportage, borrifrins dime novels, penny dreadfuls and other popuiM oudcts. not to mention additional stories of Western gunslingers and dctccttvcs. Schmid says these narrativ~s replaced the inclusive Puritan nar· rative of forgiveness and redemption.-cven for murdcrers.--wtth one that posited criminals as marginaliu:d others, threaten mg because they arc perceived as situated outside the bo=da.ries of normal society, unrestrained and capable of anything . Oth<r scholars agree, suggesting that the appetite for increasingly ghasdy information about murder followed the decline of the Puritan ministry and its Calvinist ideals and their repi2cemcnt by a consumer culture suffused with romantic, ~terary and legalistic idcab.

The na.nospray eminer allows you to handle very low Huid volumes so you need just a few micro~ttts of sample," said Wood. "Without this technology, you would need millili· ten-from a hundred to a thousand tunes mort sample." Once the trypstn digestion process is complete, tht Ouid is mjccted by syringe into the nanoelectrospray m1incr. The nanospray emitter that Wood developed and patented, called NiagaraFlow, then ionius the fluid, turning it into a very fine mist. Those ions then can be identified by mass >pectro.-ry, an a.nalyticaJ chemistry tecbniq~ that identifies a.nalytcs by their mass. When an elcctrical potcrltial is applied, the peptide is emitted as a fine mist of atmndy small droplets. each of which is smaller than a micron, a millionth of a meter. "Because the spray is emitted at such a low rate, 10 naooliten per minute, W< bad around a hundred minutes duridg which the mass spectrometer could coUcct data before the wnple was exhausted," said Wood.

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 was the key pita of advice Presi· dent John B. Simpson and othtt m<mbcrs of the university community offtted to new students as they wdcomed them and their parents to UB on Friday during the third annu.al Univ<rsity Wdcome. The event, held in the Mainstage thea ter in the Center for the Arts, North Campus, included remarks by Simpson; Salish K. Tripathi, provost and executive viu president for academic affairs; D. Joseph Mook, professor and chair of the Department of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering. and assistant dean in the School of Engin<ering and Applied Sc1ences; G a parent of three VB students; and two VB undergraduates. Also featured wtte musical performances and a vidro p resentation. ·vou're enterin g a remarkable time in your lives," Simpson told the freshmen and incoming transftt studc!ftts who filled the auditorium. ·vou have in front of you an astonishing array of opportunities: classes, dubs, cultural events, social opportunities and all sorts of activities--some curricular, some extracurricular.· The undergraduate years arc a unique time in life in which myriad resources arc available to upcrimcnt and explore one's interests, he said, noting that the chance to investigate these opportunities often fades in the face of o ther responsibilities as time goes on. "You could ignore all of these opportunities in front of you and simply go about taking your classes, or you could take advantage of them," Simpson said. "! heartily recomm.Jnd you do the lattcr .. . ln my )'f'ew, the university is a feast: with care, but dine thoroughfy, and dine with enthu siasm. You won't have a spread like this in front of you again." Tripathi added that participation in undergraduate research and study abroad programs-as well as new programs such as fresh man seminars and undergraduate academics-arc just a few of the ways students can ge1 the most of their undcrgraduatc experience. .. Hc:rc you arc a part of a greater student body, applying your edu cational knowledge and creative J!J* Imaginations toward social justkc goals," he said, noting that members of the Oass of 20 II represent the most academically accomplished freshman class in UB's history. " It is my cballengc to you, in your un· dttgraduate year> at VB, to explore the richness of VB and the greattt world of which it is a part. "May curiosity, humanity, integrity and pttsistcnce he your hallmark as you begin a new chapter," he added. In his address, Mook cncoun.ged students to communicate with their professors and work with th<m to discover the things they're truly passionate about.

With the opening of the fall semester this wcck, the university has supplement~ its crisis com· munication vehicles with a new tat-messaging ~rvicc designed to disseminate critical information in a timdy manntt to membtts of the university community. Through a contract with RAVE Wireless, VB faculty, staff and students-any university com munity mttnbcrwith a UBIT email addrcss-<an sign up to reccive text messages from UB regard · ing emergency notifications and campus alerts, such as campus closings. Part of the m US-mobile computing-initiative, the system I will send a text alert to users ' mobile communication devices, along with an email to their chOSC"n email addrcss, says James Reger, emergency planning manager for Environmental Health and Safety Scrv1ces. Those who do not have a cell phone can receive alerts v1a email. There is no registration or subscription fer associated with the service, akhough users may incur a .. per text message• cost as determined by their individu.al cell phone plan. For more information or to rcgistcr for the service, go to http:/ / emergency.buffolo.edu. The FAQ at the site lists thc names of U.S. ce:U phone carriers with whom the liB text-messaging system will work. Some prepay or minutes ccU phone plans may not work with the system. Also, some .. smanphone" plans may not allow users to rcgistcr. ThC'S( issues currently are: under revicw. Joseph Raab, assistant vier president for university facilities, notes that the text -messaging service supplement s other me:thod s of emergen cy notification that al· rcady arc an place at UB, including announcements via university· wide email, broadcasts on WBFOFM 88.7 and other local radio and television stations, postings on the university's home page and on the MyUB portal, and recorded messages on 645-NEWS, the universi· ty's tele-phone information line. .. Emergency notifications arc made in a variety of ways. and we think that it is most dfectivc to provide multiple methods and modes of communication," Raab says. SUNY agrees. Reger points out that the SUNY Chancellor's Task Force on Critical Incident Management has recommended that institutions usc th.rec meth· ods of communication during a campus emergency: active broad· cast (horn , siren and public-ad dress systems), passive broadcast (dosed-circuit television, cmaiJ and Web sites) and individual notifica tion (cell phone, instant messaging and text messaging ). VB fares well in addressmg the SUNY taU forcc's reCommenda tions, Reger says. lmplcrncntation of the RAVE Wudess servia: meets individual notification needs, h< says, while the campus media and other organizations on campus meet the passive broadcas-t directive. As for the active broadcast directive, there arc scwral buildings on campus with active PA systems or fire alarms that allow for both warning alcrts and verbal instructions, he says, adding that several other public address m<thods also arc being considered. Reger admits that commumcating with those on campus can he "extremely challenging," given the mobile cuhure m which we li\'c. "Different vendors, vario us plans and equipment models all crcate a challenge to mass com · municauons," he says.

We alr..dy have completed many of the steps of the Student Systerru Assessment phase of the project. We started our project developing our transformation strategy by establishmg the guiding principles and a decision-making framework. With those os a basis. we conducted high·levd rr and chonge· r..diness assessments, where we gained on understanding of UB's strengths upon whjch w~ can capitalize and the potential obstacles that we may confront as we move forward. We then mapped our business processes ond d~eloped the related system requirements in a series of workshops with representatives from across campus. Following these workshops. the UB com· munity was given an opportunity to comment on the requirt:me.nts in a survey that was circuJated in July. We had an exce.llt'!!,_re.sponse, with more. than 350 individuals completing approximately 90,000 individual items. The results of the survty formed the basis for the request for information (RFI) that was released to software ven dors and the request for proposals (RFP) that was released to software integration firms . The survey results also will be an important pan of th< model that W< will use to evaluate rcspon.scs to our RFI and RFP, and the project team currently is working to develop that evaluation modd. The documents that are a res ult of these activities a.re available on our Web site. What are the next steps? As respo nS<s to our RFI and RFP in, the projecr team and co m ~ 0 individuals that havt been idenlified as subject matttt experts will begin a thorough ~of the ruponsa. which will include evaluation of the written responses, a fit/gap analysis of our functional and ttchnical requirements, and conversations with refttcnees from peer institutioru that the vendon will provide. An odditional evalu· ation component is the scripted vendor demonstrations. where we will ask tach vendor to demon stnte how specific sanarios would be carried out using their proposed solution .

"Bicycling at VB i.< a great step toward moving J><OJ>le aWlly from single oc:<:upancy vehiclu and driving to campus.• said James Simon, associate environmental educator of VB Grem, a <O-IJ>OIUOr of the program. "The registration program, the bikes on Stampede buses and Buffalo Blue Bicycles will break down a lot of the barrim that people who wanted to bik< to campus wed to come across." The idea for Bicycling at VB came out of the cycling subcommitttt of the UB Environmental Task Force, a group of faculty, staff and students committed to reducmg the univenity's environmc:ntaJ impact through intcrdi.ociplinary collaboration. According to Simon, who chairs the cycling subcommittcc:, 3 l percent of UB 's total grccnhousc:·gas emissions comes from commuters and from UB's ftttt of vehicles, a number that he hopes will start to decline with initiatives like Bicycling at VB. The new bike racks have been mstalled at the Main Circle on the South Campus, at the Flint Loop. the Student Union and along Putnam Way on the North Campus, and at rcsujencc halls on both North and South cam- 0 r puses.

UB empowers community to take action o List of resources available when concerns ~rise about persons who may pose threat By SUf WU£TCH£11 RqJOI'tn Editor EE somethang, say some S thmg That 's the basac prc:mJ.sc of a new initiative at UB a1mcd at furthn ensunng a safe ..:ampus cnvuonment. The universaty has compiled a co mprehensive hst of resources available for consuhauon and rrferral when concerns arise about students, faculty or staff who may pose a threat to thc:msc:lvc:s or others. The list can be accessed at http:/ / www. ub-judlclary. buf· folo.edu/ - e m e n b. ..A common rdrain aftr:rVrrginia Tedl was that people didn't know who to call," says Dennis Black, via president for sludent affairs and a member of an informal group of administrators from across the umvers1ty who developed the hst. .. If there was an issue: or conam, 1s there so meone: or somebody we should bC' calling? The answer IS ' ves'; there arc multiple resources ava1lablc for you if you have a need, or for others if you see a need." The last of resources--one deSigned specifically for usc: by stu· dents, the other for faculty and staff--covers more situations than people realize, says Nancy Smyth, dean of the School of Social Work. "l think people arc not always dear about the range of possibilities that they could bC' concerned about or take action on,• she says....Thtte's a perception that you can't do anything about thcsc situations. Prople fed that they can't do anything. so they don't do anything. The reality is that there arc a lot more options than people realize, but they just have to speak up." The list of situations an which some sort of action ts needed runs the gamut-from individuals carry· ing weapons and exhibiting bizarre or aggressive behavior to showing signs of alcohol or drug usc:. The resources for co nsultation and refaral are equaUy diverse. ranging from Univ<Tsity Polia to Courud· mg Services to the Office of Equity, Diversity and Affumativc: Action Administration. One new resource now available for faculty and staff IS a hotline operated by the Employ« Assis· tancc: Program. The hotlin~S 4500-is available 24 hours a day• seven days a Wttk to faculty and staff memben if they need adVice regarding one of their p«rs. All of these resources are for consultation and referral, Blacks str=. "It's not how to throw propk out of the unMnity." he says. Adds Lucinda Finley, professor of Jaw and vice provost for faculty affa1rs: .. It 's not punitive. It's about being a responsible membe.r of the community and helping people get help." she says. The Virginia Tech tragedy pro· v1ded so me: lessons regardang preparedness and communication, Black notes ... We've: learned that we need to encou111ge people if they see something that d~sn ' t seem right to not let it go." Smyth points out that m05t of these resources have long been an piau at the university... This (initiative:) is about communicating and coordinating and making sure th.u everyone has full acuss and full understanding of what 's available," she says. and developed contingencies . However, seeing this actual event happen reinforced the need to continuously revisit our planning and ensure that we: are taking aU the reasonable steps to protect and warn our community." He says the university has revi.~ its emergency plan to bC' more m line with the National Incident Management System, a federallv mandated sys tem for managmg emergency mc1dents that .. will al low UB to eanly mcorporatc other emcrgc:ncy· rc:sponsc: agenc1es mto ca mpus responses "Some of the lesson s learned from the Virgmia Tech incident are still being discovered ," Raab says ... However, Hke many C'Ytnts, the shootings underscored the importance of the ability to quickly communicate: to the community in an emergency situation. We are 10 the process of conducting an extensive rev1ew of o ur co mmu · nicat1on systems and technology."

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 goal: to develop a master plan that meshes with those of the municipalities and is in the best interests of the community. A critical elemen t of this collaboration is how to build connrctions--po· litically and figuratively-that best link the edges of UB's campuses with neighboring commun ities. Unfortunately, the outreach dfort has not met with much success with officials in the Town of Amherst.

P ) more photo• en ~ lenging thou actions in a lawsuit tiled yesterday in State Sup reme Court that seeks a show cause order to annul the rezoning and the special u~rmit to the stud~n t­ housing project proposed by GMH Communities LP. UB officials said th~ university seeks to work clos~ly with the Town of Amherst to plan for the development of land along Sweet Home Road on the western ~dge of the North Campus in line with the town's comprehensin plan and wants to develop a master plan for the North Campus in conjun ction with the town's master plan. They note that the town's own comprehe nsive plan calls for the town to .. work with UB to create mixed - us~ activity centers at the periphery of the campus." VB officials stress that the university is not opposed to d~elop ­ mcnt of the stretch of Sweet Home. VB is opposed to spot roping deci- sions on a parcel-by-parcel basis made contrary to the town's own plan for land use and growth. UB officials want to aroid tum· ing the s- Home corridor into a highly commercial strip possessing some of the worn traits of the commercial ckvelopment along Transit Road: UJU"dmting traffic congestion and unsightly acns of parking lots fronting characterless mail strips. "'We have taken this action nry reluctantly; we would have preferred not to have taken this approach, but the leaders in the Town of Amherst have left us with no other option; said Marsha S. Henderson, vice president for external affairs. "Tilis is about how we should collaboratively plan our shared borders.

On March 19, ignoring the advice of the town attorney that what they were about to do was illegal, town board m<mbers voted 5-2 to rezone a 22-acre pared of land on Rmsch Road off of Sweet Home Road to ptrmit construction of a 225-unit apartment complex providing housing for 835 college students. The board rezoned the area, which it had designated for research/economic development in its plan adopted in January, to multifamily use, and the town's Zoning Board of Appeals subsequently issued a spe· ciallJ.S( permit and granted a variance to allow student occupancy.

Last month, the junior envi ronmental engineering major introd uced former vice president A1 Gore to an audience of high school and VB students before the first of two presentations Gore made in Alumni Arena on global warming and climate change. Her work on perfecting a low-cost sand filter designed to make: cleaner drinki ng water in Third World countries was featured in a video on student research that was shown before Gore took the stage. This weekend, she wiJitravcl to Calgary to attend a workshop on the technical aspects of Biosand fil. ter programs. After her training in Canada, she leaves fo r Honduras, where she will spend about eight weeks observing and ev41.lua ting Biosand filter projects in the Cen· tral American country. And in between Calgary and Honduras, she'll go toTucson, Ariz., for orientation as the only SUNY representative among 80 MJ~· Udall Scholars for 2007 . Mil ler is one of an increasing number of UB students who are winning nationally competitive scholarships and fellowshjps. This year, 10 UB graduate and undergraduate students, or recent gradu ates, have bern awarded scholarships and fellowships ranging &om the Udall and Barry M. Goldwater scholarships to Fulbright fellowships and the Department of Defense National Dcfcnst" Scimce and Engineering Graduate Fellowship. UB also has four students who received honorable mention in the competition for National Science Foundation Graduate Research Fellowships and an alternate in the Fulbright competition. While U8 has had some sucuss in the~ competitions, the university is .. ramping up.. its efforts to ensure that more students apply for-and win-the~ awards. .. 1 thi'lk this year's result is just the tip o f the iceberg; Patrick MrO.-..·in, associate professor in the Department of Hjstory, Colkg< of Arts and Sciences, and Fulbright adviser, said of UB's eight finalists--and seven winners-in this year's student Fulbright competition . .. We have phenomenal talent on th.is campus, and the more we can encourage students to strivt: for these types of grants, the more success we'll have.· Satish K. Tripathi, provost and executive vier president for academic aff.Urs, attributes UB's increasing success in the~ national competitions to a combination of more motivated students and more direct outreach to these students from the university, parricularly the University Hono"rs Program. Moreover, more undergraduate stud<nts are mgaged in research, an important requirement for most of these award competitions. • Students are becoming mor< sopbisticated; Tripat!U sajd.

While there, he developed the first successful trchn.ique to determine the pH of solid snow on a molecular l evd~pecially critical because mercury deposition has played a major role in the decline of the polar b<ar population. He plans to retwn to Alaska this summer to continue his work. Identifying students like Miller and Paluch is a key goal of the Honors Program, Capuana said. The office is working with faculty to find students who are good candidates for these compditivc scholarships and fellowships-students who arc involved in restarch and who have high grade-point verages. "We want t idcnti the~ students earlier lin their UB carcc:rsJ so we can get them in the pipeline to ensure that they have the kinds of experiences they nctd to be co mpetitive for these scholarships and fellowships ,.. she said. "We want to go up against the bnt as one of the best." Capuana noted that members of the Honors Program staff have b<cn meeting with individual departments. as well as with faculty advisors, to identify good candidates for these competitions. get the word out to students about these programs and encourage Sll)dents to apply. Staff then works closely with the candidates to help them prepare a competitive resume, as well as a top-notch application. Faculty members art critically important to the process, which , Capuana says, must be a "cooperative ve.nture between faculty, students and the Honors Program to put the whole package together.• She pointed out that although many of these competition candidates ar~ mtmbcrs of the Honors Program , any UB stud~nt may apply for these awards. McDevitt noted that st udent s may b< reluctant to apply "b<cause they sell themselves short." " However, they'll never know unless they apply."

The UB-UH MAH Program in Caribbean Cultural Studies is the only joint gradual< program ever established between a U.S. and a Cuban uruversity. It so far has graduated 28 students, and 13 more bavt been accepted for the fall 2007 semester. Another 223 students participated in UB's summer abroad program in CUba from 1997 until it wa.s shut down in 200. by a Whit< HouK prohibition against academic travd to Cuba for periods ofless th.;;-1 0...,eks, which eliminated more than 300 programs offered there by uruversities. UB replaced the summer program with an undergraduau semester abroad program in Spanish language, and Cuban and Caribbean culture. Designed as an undergraduate counterpart to the MAH Program in Canbbean Cultural Studies, it bas bad 13 participanu to date and five more are scheduled to participate in the fall semester. In the fall of 2006, UB began to offer its Ph.D. students a fall semester abroad program in Cuba. They conduct research and take courses offered through the MAH program. One doctoral student completed the program last year and two more have been aca:pted for the fall semester. u.s. Tree planting, trimming is under way BJitfVIN RIYUNCO Rtpatter Staff Writer REE trimming, planting and cu tting has begun and will continue aaoss the Nonh and South campuses into the summer and bej<>nd to restore aod replaa: trees damaged in the freak snowstorm that hit UB and West<m New York in October. On ly 15 trees whose broken limbs posed an immediate danger to pedt"Strians and campus structures were cut down in the immediate aftermath of the storm , says John Hayes, assistant director for building and grounds, University Facilities, adding that the complete tree removal -a nd - replacement process could take until 2008 due to associated costs and limitations of the tree-planting season. "We estimate 70 percent of the trees on campw were affected to some extent." says Hayes. "Approximatdy 200 tre<s on the Nonh and South campuses need to come down." These estimates arc based on consultations with certified arborists Richard Steadman of Wright · Fronucr Tree & Lawn Care and Bill nyder of lakeside Sod and Nu=ry. who were hired in November to assess tree damage on campus. The T loss of about 120 trees on the Nonh Campus and about 80 trees on the South Campus is not a significant pera:ntage, says Hayes, since there are more than 7,BOO trees in non-fOrested areas across the two campu.scs. The greatest challeng< is the number that r<quire trimming. Thae arc no plans to fell or trim trees in the campuses' forested areas, he adds. "\Ve're taking a ddi~rate ap proach and starting with the worst trees first," says Hayes, pointing out that the hardt"St hit were the chestnut trees clustered in front of and behind Hayes Hall on the South Campus. "Once the storm hit ,'' he explains. " it sort of devastated them because they were so fragile." Many of the trees on the South Ca mpus were near the end of their natural life, regardless of the storm, says Hayes, who toured the damaged area sevc raJ wedu ago with Snyder and members of the UB EnvuonmcntaJ Task Force and University Facil1tu~s " We will plant at leas t ont.• trt't' for every one lost," he says .. \\'t•'vt" got a good head start."

More than 40 of the trees plant c.·d were donated by RPM Ecosys tems, an upstate New York-based busmcss that produces specialty hybrid trees that boast a 90 perce nt survival rate and a growth rate that is three times faster than normal , says Hayes, noting that the business was among those that participated in the Enviro Fair held in Alumni Arena in conjunction with A1 Gore's visit to UB last month. Varieties included pin oak, big red oak, swamp white oak., bur oak, red maple and sugar maple. Other trees were donated to the university by student organizations on Earth Day. • .... • ...... -· L .,. �4 Reparias llay11,2171V11.1.•.3!i BRIErLY I --·DMnllr"-....-..... .... lont to~ In PSS dhwlltyMrtes ..,... ... .,_,., Ollbd~~w111 to 1:JO p.m. ..., 241n 14SI - sa«-· Unkln.- CWnpus.

"I wtnt to the hospital to dean and mop floors. to wash spittoons, to take cart of patitnts, to distributt lunch aod dinner; says Ding. "I know nothing abo ut medicine, but I worked at a hospital.

Drury, who will contin ue his research at UB, is known internationally for cOmbining research into human facton. such as ergonomics. faugue and training, with studies of human error and quality control to pioneer innovations cksigncd to reduce hWI'Wl C1TOrs in nu.merow industries and sectors ranging from aviation and consumer producu to che~~ demilitarization. ~ In aviation, he has worked with security scrcc:ners at airporu to determine the b<st ways to do X· ray inspections for weapons and developed staffing models for airports, using industrial mgineering principles to determine the optimallcvcls for keeping passmgers flow. ing through airports efficiently without cornpromiJing security. Drury directs UB's R<s<arch Institute for Safety and Security in Transportation (RISST), funded by the Transportation Security Ad· ministration, which studies bow human &.:tors contribute to arorJ and incfficicnci<s in security systems, such as those US<d to inspect baggage and screen pass<ngers in airports. Drury, who holds a private pilot's lie<ns<, is applying techniques he developed during more than 30 years of aircraft-inspection r<scarch to the study of transportation security systems. Data from RISST studies will be compiled in a databas< and made available to r<scarchcrs nationwide worlting on projects to advance pub6c safety. The institute also will apply iu r<soure<s and findings to improve safety and S<Curity outside of airports and in and around other potential terror targeu. A UB faculty member since 1972, Drury is a former chair of the Department of Industrial and Systems Engin<ering and the founding executive director of the Cmt<r for Industrial Effectiveness. which works with regional industries to improve competitiveness.

Ill Gift supports new building UB to name computer science lab after Hammond .,.sw-.ve~ ~ Contributor G INA Bronkie Ham mond, who received a master's degree in computer science and engineering (CSE) from UB in 1973, has gi>m a gift of$150,000 to the School of Engin«ring and Appti<d Scimcn in support of a n<"W high-t<eh mgin«ring building_ In r<cognition of her gmuooity, UB will name a CSE laboratory the Gina Bronkit Hammond Laboratory. The gift reOects Hammond's confidene< in the future ofUB Engineering and its vision to attract the top studenu and liaculty, and pursue new partnerships. innovations and research opponunitics that will positively impact the region, state and beyond. "I originally thought I would become a math teacher, but fell in love with computers,· says Hammond, a vice president at Computer Sciences Corp. (CSC) who manages CSC's GWAC (Government-Wide Acquisition Con· tracts) Service Center. "'The new lab is an ideal match for me: an imprnv<d teaching space for topnotch studmu and lia.culty that's fully equipp<d with new t<ehnology. l(s an exciting opportunity." The new building will mockmiu programs and &cilitia for th< dq>artmmu of Compum- Science and Engineering and Electrical Engineering. The planned 130,000-squan:-foot structun on the North Campus will boast a •ctean room• for intricate work with nanodt·vk.es, a "cybertorium" with sophisticated communication <~<vices and smart t<ehnology, and Oaible raurch labs, classrooms and meeting areas for interclli· ciplinary work. The facility will allow UB to us. aisting buildings to expand both enrollment and high-d<rnand fields like biomgine<ring. Thae goals are align«! with the UB 2020 strategic plan, which aims to grow UB by 40 pue<nt and invest in areas of strategic strmgths, such as information and computing technology, and integrated nanootructur<d systems. N<"W York State has <mbrac<d th< rngineering school's vision, providing $49.6 million toward the $73 million to build th< structurt. UB Engin«ring is mgag<d in • fund~dbt to general< th< remaining $23 million in private funds. "Gina Hammond has built an m viable arett working on th< lead· ing edge of the computer aciene< and mgin«ring industry, and the D<'W Hammond Lab will rdl«t btt pione<ring spirit" says Harvey G. SteDF' Jr,dean ofth< UBSd>ool of Engin«ring and Applied Sciences.

Planning c-ltllwH , _ ,..,. 1 board vote and action by the Zoning Board of App<als, Henderson said, "Fifty-year decisions arc being made too casually and without adequate infonnation and input from the university and Amherst residents." Amhcnt civic and community groups also opposing the Amherst board's rc:wning of Rensch Road include the Amherst Olamber of Commerce, Willow Ridge Civic Association and the Charter Oaks Homeowners Association. The Amherst Town Board's own professional planning staff, the town Industrial Denlopment Agency, the town's police chief, local media outlets, the Chamber of Commcrct:, various homeowners groups and individual residents and UB all have express<d concerns about this project, and instead of facilitating collaboration, the Town Board exp<dit<d, unnecessarily, th< rezoning proem. Colleen DiPirro, president and CEO of the Amherst Chamber of Co mmerce, said the chamber is oppoRd to a rezoning of the property on Rensch Road for usc not in compliance with the Town of Amherst masttr plan, .. which ap propriat<ly designates the parcels for research and dcvdopment... .. We con tinu e to support the town's comprehensive master plan as a guide to developmmt. It was created after atcnsivc input from community stakthold<rs and should continue to serve as the blueprint for land US< planning and developnxnt." she added. "We have~~ with the University at Buffalo, we support its position and wt're looking forward to working collaborativdy with the Town of Amherst and UB." Robe.rt Foladarc, vice president of the Willow Ridg< Civic Association, also has express«! his frustrations with the Amherst Town Board's zoning decisions. "The short-sightedness of our town board has again allowed a student housing complex dmt is out of character with both the community and the allow«! z.oning," Foladare said. "Evtn before the new 400-plus b<ds are built on Chestnut Ridge Road, without any regard for future problems with flooding, traffic and noise, Amherst allows the project on Rauch Road-a project not wanted by UB, the local school district nor the residcnu of the area.• UB already has met with more than 20 community groups and plans to hold a public community forum for Amh<rst residmts on May 29 to discuss UB's plans for growth and how UB's plan can be integral«! with plans for growth in Arnh<rst. UB's comprehensive planning effort is led by Robert G. Shibley, professor and director of the Urban Design Project in the School of Architecture and Planning. Shibley said the univtrsitywould tikt to join the town in a process whereby all affected parties could partidpatc in the definition of an innovative mix<d-use district that would connect campus to neighborhood. "W< are trying to build bridges with commu nities around our threco campus centers. How can ~ build a 'bridge out from our North Campus along Sweet Home to th< Town of Amherst not knowing how the 'bridge' from the other side is going to m<et it?" Shibley ask<d. Such a process might involve creation of a "univusity-rdated district " or d evelopment of a special mixtd - use zone. What 's crucial , Shibley said, is that UB and Amherst work together with property owners and citizens to create such a mixed-UK arc~a . In fact, Shibley said, UB already has participat<d in such a project. UB planners consult«! extensively with Bcndcrson Development Company in the creation of a plan for new development on the 33acre forma Buffalo Shooting Qub, which will include retail, restau rant and hotel <Jtablishmmu, and residences along Map!< Road. Among the goals of the B<nderson projtct are to creak a campustikt town center, create bicycle and p<destrian links to the UB campw and improve th< quality of the environment along Maple Road-all goals that UB would have for such a center along Sweet Home Road. The rc:wning of land adjacent to th< UB campw also limits UB's capacity to positively impact the Amherst economy and tax base bttaUS< it limits land available for UB spin-off of companies and jobs generated by r<Search activity, Sbtbley pointed out. In addition, the creation of new off-campus housing projects along the VB-Amherst border would spur a sudden relocation of large numbers of students from neighborhoods surrounding the South Campus, which would have a significant destabilizing impact on the tconomy and viability of those neighborhoods. "We are not oppoS<d to offcampus housing; our plans call for us to hoW< only 30 ptrcent of our students on campus. Howevt:r, we ar~ oppo~ to hi~s·ity con· e<ntrations of tarSety unsilpervis.d hawing for stud<nts," Slublcy said. R~nsch Road prop~rty owner John Giacalla has retained attorney Justin \Vhite to voice his strong opposition to tht GMH student · housing project. .. These aren't GMH community students, th~se are University at Buffalo students; and who bener to determine tht net'ds of its studmts than the University at Buffalo; White said.

Smith, read by Dana lvey � 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.

The Ride for Roswell is a powerful community cycling event that Slarted 12 ytars ago with a small group of dedicated cyclists, volunteers and a determined founder, Mitch Flynn, who wanttd to makt a diff<renct in the fight against cancer. Flynn had a vision of families and cyclists of all ages riding for a common goal: 10 raise money for cancer research and patient care, and to share an inspirational cxpenencc. ln 1996, Mitch and his committee of I 0 volunteers organized the first R1de for Roswell. which was staged from US's North Campus. These dedicated volunteers organlttd threr different cycling routes throughout Western New York, and to their ~urp rise 1,000 riders signed up and participated that first year, raising $102,000. Since then, the ride 's numbers have increased at an amazing rate. Each year more volunteers give of their time and riders increase their philanthropic gifts. Last y~:a r, more than 700 volunteers and 3,200 rid ers participated, raising a record S1.2 million. This year the Ride will take placc on Saturday, June 23. All routes will sta rt and end at Ba1rd Point o n US's North Campus . b thb en - t few- hwdcon cyclist, or I s - • pl•e for-..........-.. rlder7 Whtther you're a casual bikt ridtr or an o:ptricnced cyclist. tht Ridt for Roswell has four route options to choose &om-ranging &om f2mily-fricndly to chaJknging.

Tell me about that. Our UB community has a vital role to play in improving the quality of lift throughout our region and btyond, and through our impact as a major public resrarch univ~rsity, we have the opportunity ro ennch countless lives. The university has a long and rich history of public ~rvicc and outreach in our r~on, and UB faculty, staff and students co nsistently play an activt and important role in helping to guide the region toward a brighter future (visit http://www.buffalo.edu / yourub for more information). In addition to the direct impact of o ur public service activities tied to the academic core, the university is committed to making tht region a 0 bt-tter place in which to live, work and study by taking part in proj tets and events that support vital resources throughout our community. Whether cleaning up our local parks or donating our t.imc and ·monty to hdp thost less fortunate, we're proud of OUI ability to give back to the comm unity. The Ride for RoswciJ is another outstanding example of how UB can partner with our communi ty to make a mtaningful differtnct in our Western NtwYorkreg.ion. ln three short years we have grown from SO riders to more than I SO last yrar and we eq>ect to top that this year.

The seven winners are among etght UB students named final Ists in this year's competition for fellowslups through the Fulbright Student Program. One student has been named an alterna te, and may of the United State s and other countries through the =hange of peroons, knowledge and skills. The student program is designed to give recent B.SJB.A. graduates and master's and doctoral candi ~ dates opportunities for personal development and international experience. McDevitt explained that FuJbright candidates must submit their applications at the e nd of September for grants beginning the following September. Doctoral students, M.A. students and students who will be seniors in be awarded a feUowship if one of the origmal"winners" can't accept his o r her feUowship. "I think this year 's result is just the tip of the iceberg ," said Patrick McDevitt, associate professor in applying for Fulbright grants can go to http://www.~t.buf. t.ao.edu/ for more information. the Department of History, College of Arts and Sciences, and Fulbright The student Fulbright awardees and their projects are: adviser... We have phenomenal tal ent on th.is campus, and the more we can encourage students to strive for these types of grants, the more success we'll have. " I am thrilled wtth this resuh and hope co con tinue to build on 1t," McDevitt added. "The only thing standin g be tween us and doubling our number of winners is recruiting more applicants.

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< insti!Ut< had a significant impact on th< larger institution through some of the major ext<rnally fund«! contract programs it oonduct<d in th< 1970s and '80s. For example, th< EU won a thr«-year U.S. D<panment ofStat< contract to train t<achersofEnglish from the Soviet Union. who spent tht bettu part of a summer study- ing at UB.

Simpson acknowledged the tragedy and James A. (Beau} Willis, in terim executive vice president for finance and operations, disc us~ UB's em ergency response p reparedness. "Wha t this has done is to call attention nationwide to issues of safet y on college and university campuses," said Simpson . .. 1 personaUy find this tragic and very un happy.... Frttdom of expresSion is crippled by this type of SO<ie"tal evil" As a result, UB is taking a new look at its critical incident management, he no ted. "What ('m doing is trying to think about what the iss ues are from a legal and ethical point of view" about the balance between what ca n be done before an in cident such as the Virginia Tech shoo tin gs occurs, and issues o f personal freedom and expression, Stmpson sa td. US's emergency response sc ( Urtt y ts "a co nstant and ongomg co nce rn fo r th e ca mpus," Willis told the council W1th a (.cl mp u~ population of ru ughl y 40,()(XI stu dents, fac ult y .md sta ff. the need fo r safety and sc ~.u n rv " as very, vcrv real." Will as sa ad , o1 11t.lts ~.:o n s t a nt..l y be1 ng rcvtt'wcd. "We have as a campus significant resourca and timtd<Yot<d to this," he said. "Since 9/11. the campus has takm a lot of steps to ensure a safe campus environment." With 61 sworn officers whoreceive the same training as the Buffalo, Amherst and Cheektowaga police forces, University Police is the fro nt line in UB's critical incident management. Since the Columbine High School shootings, Uru.usity Police have been trained to handle an active shooter situation, said Gerald Schoenle, chi<( of University Police. All of the department's policies and procedures also are bting reviewed, and memorandums of understan ding are in plau with the Amherst and Buffalo police departments to provide assistance in an emergency, whether it bt a gunman, fire or an emergency medical netd. The university also bas an anugency response center set up to respond to a crisis. Other key players in UB's emergency response preparednw arc Environmental Health and Safety and Counseling S<rvices. UB also has a personal safery committee that meets monthly. In any disaster, the biggest problem is communication. Across the campus, the universit y has building coordinators and uni versity staff who see campus safety response as a part of thciL..dail y respon s i~ilities, WiUis said. There o1.lso are emergency plans, procedures and protocols in place to deal with a va nety of si tuations, ranging from medical pandemics to active shoote:rs. UB's emergency response procedu res are modeled after the National Incident Management System. In the past two wtek.s there undtntandably has bttn an increased vigilance on the UB campu.se:s and college campuses around the na tion, Willis said. " I think the biggest danger for any institution is to fall into complacency." he said. ""The incidents of two Wttks ago rtally struck home the need to bt able to communicate.. instantaneously and actively, he added. UB is implementing a si ngle phone system that will allow the university to reverse-call every telephone on campus to contact people in case of an emergency. The univ<rsity also is putting into place a vehicle for tat messaging to cell pb8ftd:. The transition to the new phone system is txptcttd to bt compl<ted by early 2010. In other business, Satish K . Tripa thi, provost and executive viet president for academic affai rs, discussed improvements to UB's unde rgradua te education programs and effor ts to attract international students. .. We have done a very good job of attracting better students over the past four or five ycars,"Tripathi said."We also have done a good job in our retention rate and graduation rate, but we're not in a state where we can say we've done the very best job we ca n." UB has anracted an increasing numbtr of applicants with higher average SATs and high school GPA sco res, with about 25 perc;.,nt of those attending the univ<nity, he said. .. lf we can improve the program, we probably can g<t more of thost" students to come here." Tripa thi also disc ussed UB's distinctive and transformative undergraduale c.xpc:rience aimed al improving undergraduate education. Two programs currently are offered in civic engagement and re search exploration, Tripathi said. Students • really love the programs; he added.

Physicist Sambandamurthy Ganapathy Is studying electron transport In nanostructures Tackling mysteries of nanostructures .,. UVIN RIYUHCi kpoMrStaff- HERE'S a sood explanation for the eight-foot pit in the untn" of the lab in Fronczak Hall, UB physicist Sambandamurthy Ganapathy tdls a visitor from the Reporter. Slated for inslallation beneath th«" floor this summer is a huge, high-tech piece of equipment known as a dilut ion refrigera· tor, which, he $a)'S, will generate temperatures ncar ~bsolutc zero •nd magnetic fields 300,000 times more powerful than the Earth's magnetosphere in order to create quantum mechanical phenomena for scicntlfic observation. .. We're setting up a n~ lab to study quantum effects in nano· structures," says Ganapathy, who joined the Department of Physics, CoUege of Art& and Sciences, as an assistant profes$or this past fall ... Our main c:xpcrimmts will be studyi ng electron transport in nanostru ctures at very low tempt:ratures and at high magnetic fields ... to understand how elec trons go from one place to another in one·dimensional and zero-dimensional materials." There IS no lack of knowledge .1bout the behavior of c:lectrons in th ru·dimenstonal objects, such as the familiar copper wires through whu:h electrons travel with little resistance; but Ga napathy says scienlists possess scant information about the hehav1or of cle,trons in lower-dimensional ob,ects.

Although these potential deviCQ arr far from the marketplace, Ganapathy says scientists whose work provides a basic grasp of the unique ·properties of nanomateri· als arc at the forefront of a process dia, in 1994 , and a doctorate from the Indian Institute of Science in Bangalore in 2000, • Physics deals with the laws of nature," he says. '" I wanted to know more about how things work in the world ... foru and momentum and acceleration are concepts that have direct relcvanu to what you do every day." He adds that he pursued postgraduate education out of a desire to understand electronic bchavaor at tht atomic level. In 2001, Ganapathy received a thrce--vear postdoctoral frllow shtp to the Weizmann Institute of Science m Israel--one of the top scientifi, research facibttes in the world-and then m 1004, travded to the Umted S tate~ to work with Nobel Prize WUlner Danid C. Tsui and with Uoyd Engel in a jointappomted fellowship to Princeton Uruvrrstty and the National High-Magnett Field Labo ratory (N HMFL) m TaUahassee, Fla. "At Wei zmann , I worked on superconducting matt:rials, and at Princeton and NHMFL I work<d on scrruconductor nanoaructure5,• he $ays, pointing out that the>< experiences brought abnut valuable insight& into the physics of nanostruaures. as well as nano&brication and dilution refrigeration techniques. Ganapathy's work has resulted in the publication of more than 20 articles in leading physics joumab.last year, a paperco-wntten by Ganapathy, Tsui and colleagues at Princeton and NHMFL. which was published in the journal Natur~ Physics. provided an important contribution to modem research into the mdting behavior of crystalline electron solids and dcctron·c:lectron interaction. The strong growth of the UB physiu department in response to the identification of integrated nanostructwed systems as a strategic strength under the UB 2020 strategiC planning proC<SS was an unportant foaor in his d<cision to come to UB las! b.ll, says Ganapathy. "There arc scv~ral departmmu that parucipate in this mtegrated nanostructures project, such as Chemistry. Electrical Engineermg and PhysiCS. to name a f<W," he noto:s. "so this gms me an opporturury to collaborate wllh coUcagucs in other departments and d<-vdop truly mtcrdisciplinary research projects."

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 excellence is sought by everyone in a university community, SUNY Chancellor John R. Ryan told the audience in his keynote address that true excellence must be earned through practice and perseverance, and cannot come from a single action o r achienmmt. "President Simpson and the UB team know that true excellence IS an ongoing practice; he sajd. "Perhaps that 's why thr UB 2020 Path to Prominence program was drvclop<d back in 2004, to ensure the campus would set bigger and betler goals for iuelf, expand iu partnerships with thr surrounding community and, most impor1antly, enhanu the education being provtded its students and opportunities being provided its faculty. " II goes without saying that UB 2020 has the potential to propel the unaversity to new levels of ucdlence," he sa.d. Continued leadership and hard work is all that remain to c:xecutt UB 's stra tegic plan, now that its VISIOn is defined and its roadmap drawn, Ryan added. "I'm confident that as UB 2020 goes along," he said,"you wiU gmerate hundreds of new jobs. thousands of new students and millions mort m research dollars. UB wiU have an even gr~a te:r impact on the local and state: economies., and in fact be the driving force behind thr City of Buffillo's future: and the successes of Western New York as a region ." Prrsident Jo hn B. Sim pson spoke about US 's leadership in international ed ucati on in Hght of th < cha nging global market place in his address later in the program. He said UB is setting the nation 's pace as the public university ranked number one nationwide for its proportion of international stude nts. .. O ur embrace of change, of crossing borders a nd erasing boundaries, goes beyond international education," Simpson added. "Instead of regarding the traditional cornerstones of the public resea rch university-teaching, research and service---as separate en tities, we are evolving a philosophy whereby we see these as intrinsically integrated endnvors. Excellenct at US means a broad and holis tic view of academic achievement and academic impact, one that transforms the traditional 20th -cent ur y paradigm of th e public r~arch university." Provost Satish K. Tripath1 also pointed to the bright fu tu re of UB scholarship an his pra1se of those students whose research and ere· ative endeavors were h1ghlightt.-d m a poster prt.•.sen to.~tion that prelcdt"d the program in the CFA atrium. '"Throughout this academic year, our students have spmt countless hours in pursuit of ideas that have manifested into new approaches to thinking about our world and expanding understanding of the human condition," be said.

Hundreds of towns were badly damaged and cities like Columbia, S.C., and Atlanta wen virtually destroyed. In addition, many forms of social and economic change provol<cd by the war were abrupt and even violent Miller says poetry giv<s aa:css to the day-to-day lives, as well as the thoughts and feelings that average Americans, both civilian and military, exprcs.scd in the face of the maelstrom. "This is possible," she says, "because in the 19th century, poetry performed a social and pc.rsonal function much different than it performs today. "People: wrote lctun and kept journals and regularly included poetry in both," Miller says, "Families and friends 'perfonncd' their poetry to one another, poems ...,.. rommissioncd for public oa:asions, newspapers r.atured poetry alongside news, and popular songwriters very oftm set po1itical poems, as well as sentimental ones. to music.• Thc.K common practices left thousands of works, from the worst to the bcs~ from which she and Barrett wen abk to sckct for their purposes.

Miller points out that whether the author is male or female, southerner or northerner, the body of work ·mo~ from the optimism and jingoism of the early yean to bewilderment to deep grief and terrible mourning." In addition to "Words for the Hour; Mille:r 's books include "Emily Dickinson: A Poet's Gram· mar" {Harvard University Press. 1987), her best-known, which has been used u a tut for more than 20 years.

Cootributing Editor A part of the UB 2020 strategic planning process, the university has nitiated a project to evaluate the many components that make up the current student systems and to e.~:plore ways to improve and int~ate them. Part of the UB 2020 IT Transformation, the Student Systems Assessment project ( http :/ I www. buff•lo.edu / ub2020 / ltst/ss• .html ) will look at the infor mation technology systems that support the academic activities and service needs of all UB students- undergraduate, graduate, professional, international and domestic. .. Student systems cover almost everything students , and faculty and staff who work with students do at UB," said Kara Sa unders, assistant vice provost for undergraduate education and the Student Systems Assessment project manager. Departments affected by student systems indude admissions and recruitment, advising, career services, co urse scheduling and curricul um , degree audit, data warehouse, grading, housing, registration, student accounts, student financial aid, stude nt health and student re<:ords. It also includes" self-service" technology, such as '"MyU B." The c urrent system, she explained, is largely .. homegrown,.. a combination of co mputer programs written by the university and those purchased commercially, which now may receive limited support from vendors. As a result, information is not as well integrated as users wouJd like, resulting in duplication of effort and, in some cases, conflicting data entered into various systems. The current st udent -sys tems technology has raised co ncerns about the system's flexibility, fun ctionality and la ck of integration among different, but interconnected , offices. Ln addition, plans to increase UB's student population by 10,000 and add 750 new faculty members would st rain the system's technology beyond its limits, Saunders noted. "A number of people who work with our Student Information System have raised concerns about the system," she said. "Staff also have been asking about upgrades, but the current system is too inflexible to change." An example of that inflexibility is seen by st udents enrolled in comb ined degree programs. The St udent Information System was built on the assum ptio n that a st udent would be enrolled in only o ne degree program. The creation of interdisciplinary and combined degree programs, such as JD/Ph.D. or B.S./M.S. programs. have led to problems with rcgistcrtng for maJor course:. m both progrJms, dS well as mcorrect finan caal 111 fo rmation m p rogram s that have dtffcrent tutt ion and lc:e ch.trges.

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.

"Today's gathering is at a mo· mcnt of sorrow. It's a moment for the UB community to show our solidarity for the stud<nts, faculty, staff, alumni and families atVtrginia Tech, and a moment for w to try, at least, to take some small measure of solace from the company of those around us," Simpson told mor~ than 250 people who attended the univttsity-sponsored Krvicr in th~ Stud~nt Umon Th~at~r. ..

For u:nturies, societies in all com~rs of th~ world have gath~r~d at times of both sorrow and joy." Simpson said the gathering demonstrated that ..our hearts ar~ with our friends in Blacksburg." While the shootings have placed a pall over Virginia Tech and higher education in general, he emphasized : " Univer s iti~ s are magical places, and the violence perpetrated by a single individual wiU not-and cannot~irninish th~ pow~r of universities to bring people together, at good times and bad, for the benefit of all people." Th~ service' was th~ S«ond time this week that Simpson addressed the US community on th~ Virginia T~ch shootings. Shortly after the shootings on Monday, he issued a statement in which he noted: "At the Univeniry at Buffalo, our hcaru ar~ heavy at this terrible news, and our thoughts and prayers go out to the victims, their familjcs 'ind the entire Virginia Tech community. Colleges and universities shouJd be--and generally ar~e havens, places where the currency is ideas--not violence. That such a horrcndow act took place at one of our nation's colleges is nearly impossible to comprehend. Our UB family feels deeply for our coUeagues, and wr stand ready to pro vide whatever support possible."

But, in the meantime, be will be missed.• Olsen said he plans to take a six-month leave from the UB uw Schoov,bcginning in 2008, and will return to resume teaching a course in civil procedure, a subject h• has taught for 26 years at the school. He will continue to pursue research in the areas of ffiieral post -conviction rrn1edies and environmental policy. A national search for a nc:w law school dean will begin in May, Tripathi said. Olsen was v1ce dean for aca demic affairs at the UB Law School for four years prior to his appointment as dean . As vice dean, he ov~ r saw implem~ntati~n of the school's new curriculum, designed to bridge the gap that historically has existed between law school education and practia. He has served as director of clinical education for the law school, maintaining administrat:M responsibility for the in-house clinical program consisting of as many as nine clinical instructors who provide closely supervised, legal experienc< in diverse areas of practiu to about I 00 students each year. Olsen joined the UB law fac ulty in 1978 after serving as a law lecturer and clinical fellow at the University of Chicago School of uw. Prior to tha~ he was judicial law clerk to Chief Judge Thomas E. Fairchild of the Seventh Circuit U.S. Coun of Appeals in Chicago. In hi5 clinical teaching at the UB Law School, Olsen represented th< plaintiffs in Smirh v. Coughlin, a fedcal habeas corpus class-action lawsuit filed in the Western District ofNew York that challenged the significant delaY' that were prevalent on direct appeals of state criminal convictions. The case led to substllntial changes in the OVttsight of such appeals in the Appellate DMsion and increased rounty funding of indigent appeals. He also has represented numer· ous community-based, citizen environmental groups and several local municipalities in on-going environmental disputes, ranging from the pro,posed siting ofhizardous-waste incinerators in KJ.aPF2 County to assisting in the drafting of local land-use planning legislation. He was instrumental in negotiating and drafting a romprebensive agreement between a national haz.ordous-waste dispooal rorporation and Niag.ra County municipalioes that resulted in a 15-y<ar ban on applications for approval ofbazardow· wa.stt inanerators. �AJi ll211/Yi.

The scientists will continu~ work on a self-assembly technique Watson developed for attaching quantum dots. tiny light-absorbing particles, to metal oxide 61ms. Using time-resolved spectroscopy, the researchers are able to probe systematically how composition, morphology and physical properties of the materials affect the kinetics and efficiency of electron transfer processes. The researcher> also will study how to improve the targeted patterning of nanoparticles onto metal oxide surfaces.

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 Aoian Studies (AS) Program was established in 1993 to advocate and resource the otudy of A£i2 in all schools of the university. The program designs curricula and courses of an interdisciplinary nature that do not have a logical home in an academic department. It assists faculty and departmeots in the furtherance of quality teach- ing and research conuming Asia. In its 14-ycar history, the pro- gram hiilS asserted certain phi· losophies. The first, and most obvious one, is that every field of learning-be it med.kine, law, or literature-should address seriously the past legacieS and present developments of Asian scholarship and practia.

Asia is expressC'd in the groa:ry store, on lV and even an church . ThC' Asian American phenomenon- nearly 10 ~runt of the UB student population-is a local expression of Asia. So we require our Astan Studies majors to take a course called The Asian American Expenence. A third philosophy is operational: AS at UB exists not to build its own lci ngdom, but to fortify disciplin ary departments and their faculty. Hence AS has written grants to seed discipl.i nary faculty hir<s, en able disciplinary conferences and bring in residencies and visiting Asian scholars to enrich depart mentaJ c urricula. Departments and schools look to the program as an enabler, not a competitor. w A£i2 hem happeoing a long time here, ever since UB's first president, Millard Fillmore, sent the Perry Mission to Japan in 1953.

UB medical students now do rounds in Beijing; man.>gement majon pursue internships in Tokyo; and oome freshmen learn American Pluralism from the standpoint of bow it is to live in America with Asian roots. R.es=-ch projecu involving Aoian data and Asi2n co-investigators are commonplace in many labs. Our recent stud y revealed 64 UB dissertations significantly related to Asia completed in the last five years. There are surely others we did not spot. Most of this would happen without the Asian Studies Program, for Asia has its own, infectious momentum. What AS does is call the community's attention to Asia, sponsor forums for discussion of Asia-related issues, and provide a structured framework for laming.

Now three years old, the bachelor's degree in Asian Studies aiJowa the student to focus on a major cultural region, linked to the Chinese, Japanese, Korean or Hindi the st udent elects to fulfill th< degree's language requirement. In AS 101, majors are exposed to the methodology of~ disciplines in their approaches to Asia. There is a rtquired core in history and political economy, and upper level requirements in the humanities and social scie nces. Two-thirds of our majors take advantage of UB's excellent sister university connections in Asia, expanding their languog< skills, deepening their cultunl understanding and getting academic credit in subjects not yet offered at UB.

Lee's current research focuses on educational accountability for exceUcnce and equity, particuJarly the issue of dosing the achieve· mcnt gap under the No Child left Behind Act. He analyzes the effects of school reform poUcy and practice on student achievement with the goal of improving K- 12 education and school improvement in the United States and beyond. H is work also seeks to improve educational equity among racial and social groups of students. His findings, published in Educational Researcher and PeMody Journal of Education, showed a oignilicant setback during the 1990s in national progress toward racial equity. Lee's most recent work is central "to the current climate of school accountability as articulated in the federal No Child left Bebind Act, which is aimed at achieving high standards for all students and dosing the achievement gap through high-stakes testing and holding schools accountable for performance results," he said.

At that time, she had no idea that the environmental causes that were then popular on the West Coast or Canada were set to surge to the national consciousriess 10 yurs later in the United States. " My particular interest is corporate rcsporuibility," says Hamilton, an assistant professor in the Department or Geography, CoUegc or Arts and Science. who joined the UB faculty this fall. "I look at how corporations ~pond to new pressures to be more socially and environmentally responsible. It's become sort of a hot topic . .. particularly issues such as climate chaogc, which is becoming a main· stream issue." The greatest sign that concern over climiue change is not a flashin -the-pan phcoomenon has been businesses are agret:ing to report on the environment to thdr shareholders, she says. noting that corporations that acknowledge these iss ues as being imponant to their financial weU -bcing are less likely to forget about the en· vironment. Moreover, Hamilton says, the pressure to act is beginning to come from inside, as wt:U as outside, the boardroom from shareholders. "'There's become more of a business case for these things as you increasingly see socially responsible investors getting in - volved," she says ... It's not onJy about protests gomg on outside; there's a lot of dialogue going on inside [the boardroom[. I found that NGOs, as w.U u sharchold· en, wert involved in the majority of campaigns."

" I went around the country and did about 50 interviews with both corporate executives and cam paigocrs," says Hamilton. "J flew to maybe six cities and did six to 10 intaviews in each city." The project also piqued her interest in the burgeoning corporate role they're playing in brok<ring iTiese new contracts. even informal contracts, lx-tw«n activists and co mmunities and big corporations." she says. Hamilton plans to continue examining the role or consulting firms on corporate responsibility while at UB.

Although she has campaigoed on behalf of ethical and ecological issues related to corporate activities.-for instance, controversial practices in the oil- rich Niger Delta-Hamilton feels her role has gone from that of activist to educator. • t feel my contribution is on the research end at this point," she says. " J made a dcci· sion once I decided to research this topic not to be personally in· volved in any campaigns because I wanted to look at both sides; I wanted to intuvi~ executives, as well as campaigners." This semester, Hamilton two courses on international cultur< and commercial problcrru to graduate and undagraduate s:tu dcots in business and grograpby.

The impact would be enormous. You've got the opportunity to do some things that are unique. valuable and trailblazing." With constant hioadlincs on the environment and the recent release of reports about scientific consensus on climate change, Haya said faculty and students looking to encourage public interest in the environment face less of an uphill battle than he fought in the 1970s. The support of the administration is also a major advantage, he said. ..What you've got here is a wonderful situation,"" he said.

In the evening lecture, Hayes addressed the bigger picture and looked beyond personal lifestyle changes to the political and social action required to beat climate change and prevent the worst ef- Greener Shade ol Blue. fccts of global warming. A significant reduction in current energy needs and transition to alternative fuels, particularly solar power, is the key, Haya 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.

Tho clinic has tho dual purpos. of educating law students in the practice of law, and providing low or no-cost legal services on environmental matters to non profit environmental groups and governmtnt entities. We are not a litigation clinic; rather, we work with clients on proactive ~fforu to improve the environment. We will be launching a new name for the clinic-the Sustainable Environment Oink-to coincide with a change in the name of the Buffalo Enl•ironmental Law Journal to the Swtainability Law Journal. Tho official P,ang• will bo mado this coming fall. Tho clinic is ltd by me as direc tor, and is co- taught by Barry Boy.r, professor and former dean of tho UB Law School.

We also arc working with New York Rivus United on sta tewide projects reviewing federal li censes for hydropower projects that could impaCI downstream aquatic habitat. In addition, we recently completed a project with G reat Lakes United in which we prepared draft legislation on the control of aquatic nuisance spe..: tes. On behalf of environmental JUSttcc groups tn Buffalo, we provtdcd rcvtcw and comment on the recently adopted New York brownfield regulations . The environmenta l justice groups felt th at the regulation s \vere not protecuve of human heahh and the environment, and that most of the negative imp.tcts would be fdt within th e City of Buffalo. rather than in the suburbs. Tell me about the gr•nt the clinic recently received for the w•tenhed pl•n for CatUr•ugus County. The Ca ttaraugus Creek watershed project was c hosen for funding by the Environmental Protec tion Agoncy back in 2005. Our partners on the project include Na~York Rivers United; the Cat· taraugus County Dopartmcnt of Economic Development, Planning and Tourism; the Great Lakes Cent« at Buffalo Stat< Collego; and UB's own National Center for Geographic Information and Analysis, with professor Chris Renschler as the lead researcher for this project. Our grant provides funding for an interdis ciplinary approach to studying the watershed with community involvement. The clinic has taken a lead in community organizing and evaluating the community concerns about water quality in the creek. Students gain firsthand expmonco in understanding tho difficultia of governmontalagency coordination-the watershed encompasses five counties, dozens of municipa1ities and the Seneca Nation of Indians. The Jaw studonts also have b.nofit.d by having a scientific compo nenl to this project. RenS£:hler is deve.loping a SWAT modol to track tho How of s.dirnont in tho wat.crsh.d, and his work also gainod supplomontal funding from tho U.S. Army Corps of Enginoers. This information will be provided to the com munities in the wa tershed to assist d~ion-makers in · understanding the arras of the watershed that most likely are sources of water~qua1ity impacts. Wo hop< that tho community will utilize the information we ar~ providing to build a multijurisdictional st rategy for improving the water quality.

I expect that much of our work in thco dinic in the coming A Greener Shade ol Blue. years will be dealing with many legal issuos that r.lato to global warming, including water diversions from the Great Lakes to dri er areas. We have contracts with Catta raugus County's pla.n111ng department to develop a model conservation easement and a model conservation subdivision ordinance. The department is looking for ways to both promo!< economic development and tour ism, while prese.rving the natural assets upon which the economy Wen ds.

How do students benefit t.om worldng In the dlnlc? Thoy tell mo that it hdps thorn to understand that the most of the environmental impacts are caused by decisions at a loca11evel, makmg it difficult to just .. pass a law .. to solv. a probkm. Thoy also. I think, learn much more about the suite- of tools avaiJable to the lawyer, and to the community, for tmproving the environment. I would love to make it an even bet ter expcnen..:.e by having an tnterdts"plinary cnvtronmental clim e. It wouJd be great to see chemistry students, geography students, law studenu and econom1t: students puttmg then heads together on some of these muJtifaceted prob lems, like combined sewer overflows, storm-water runoff, global warmmg and mtergov~rnmental coordination. Wh•t makes UB'1 geogr.,hlc loc•tlon •n lntere.stJng pl.-ce In which to study envlronmen tall•w •nd policy? As a community located within the earth's greatest fresh-water ecosystem in the Grea t Lakes Basin, we have tremendous natu- ral asseu that are worthy of protecting. Oean water is an economic engine, as well as a health, quality-of-lifo and ecologicaJ resource. However, wo aro saddlod with toxic logac.its, pollutod watorways and a stressed economic climate, both for privat< indu>try and local govornmont. Any logal fram<W<>rk for prot<cting tho environment must take into account the social and economic realities of Western N~ York. When communitiH have to dea1 with the urgent wues of health care, hou.sing and unomploymont, thoy ofun have few resources left to address environmenta1 matters.

International agreements between the U.S. and Canada have led to great cooperation in studying and understanding the Great Lakes ecosystem. Furthermore, there is a shared mission of prot«ting the natural assets. Professor Boyer and I are both members of the Lake Erie Binational Publtc Forum, whach was formed as part of th e binational Lake Erie Management Plan, in which we learn about the major threats to lake -water quality and the maJOr impedi ments to improving the lake system . Thi s, in turn, guides our work in Cattaraugus Creek watershed. as the maror Im pairment to the creek is sedi ment discharge. which impacts Lake Erie. In some- ·cases, like Jquatic nuisance species, we have not focused on international agreements. 'A'c have looked to Now York Stat< to b. a leader in the basin. However, we are curren tl Y searching for a Canadian law school to partner with on Great Lakes research on global warming issues.

Former UB facuJty member John Case, now professor in the Department of Compuler and Information Sciences at the University of Delaware, will spuk on computational learning. The fo unding chair of the department, Anthony Raison , UB professor emeritus. will address the conference, as will Salish K. Tripathi , UB provost , executive vice president for academic affairs and professor of computer sdence and engineering; Harvey G. Stenger )r., dean of the School of Engineer· mg and Applied Sciences; Bharat Jayaraman , professor and chair of the Department of Computer Science and Engineering; and Stuart C. Shapiro, professor and former chair of th.e UB departm<nl The conference and 40th an niversary celebration will provide alumni, students and faculty with an opponunity to reflect on how far the department and the dis· cipline have come and to project where the opportunities lie, both for the department and u.s future graduates, said )ayaraman . ln the past 30 years, he said, the field has gone from mainframes in the 1970s to PCs and desktop workstations in the 1980s to the Internet in the 1990s to palmtops and wireless computing today. "Computing devices keep get· ting smaller and are now becoming part of our environment," he said. •The end is nowhere in sight." In fact. he said, growth in the department is slated to be in the exciting new area called "'smart environments," one of the major initiatives within the UB 2020 strategic strength of in~n:'ation and computing technology. He described a smart environ ment as one in which sensors and computing and co mmunication devices are embedded into every· day objects, providing a seamless a nd natural way for humans to intera ct with computers and get things done. "This agenda makes a lot of sense for UB and the Department of Computer Science and Enginee.ring," he said, .. as we have expc.nise in sewral of the core trchnologies, such as smsors. networking, intel· ligcnt systems and u.se:r interfaces." Aa:ording to )ayaraman, some of UB's most distinguished alumni have spent their car~rs working in mdustry and that makes sense, g1ven the department 's strong orie.ntation toward application. ..Applied research has always b«n our strong suit, so industry is a vc.ry natural fit for our gradu ates," said Jayaraman. '-We place a good 80 percent of our doetoral graduate.s in industry." _ He noted that the deputme.nt's Alumni Speaker Series this year featured graduates who are: working at Google, AT&T Bell ubs and other technology leade.rs. The department and the dtsct· pline are se<king new ways to make the field attractive to prospK tive students, he said. .. Many student s co me o ut o r high school thinking that compultr sc1ence is just programming," he pointed oul "'We need to do a better job ofintroduon g o ur field m more mterestmg ways and commumcat· ing to students the great mte.Ucctual challenges that f;ace computer SCI· entists in the new. rap1dly ch.m gmg computing environment." Now that the dot-com "bust" "' over, he said, the number of computer scie:ncc majors is once again on the rise, totaling 450 this semester " Projections are very good fo r computer science md engmeering graduates," said )ayaraman. " Lead· ing companies such as Microsoft , Lntd, Google Md others are e.ager to hire computer science and c.ngi· neering graduates." -II Concert to showcase computer music tofal_....., ... ---Cin- F -s..l-. 11\11\ he truly friondfy neigl-oboo- Spldor-Min.

REHARD Reportrr Contributor OLLOWING a well · rc · ceived inaugural concert last September with guest composer Philip G lass and an unusual concerti program last October, UB's Center for 21st Century Music will continue its impressive offerings this month with a concert featuring the Slee Sinfonietta, UB's professio nal chamber orchestra, prese:nting an intriguing program of computer music. The concen will take place at 8 p.m . April 17 in Lippes Concert Hall in Slee Hall, North Campus. Marc McAneny, lecturer in the Department of Music, and guests will be on stage to discuss the pieas at 7:30p.m . The program will include " Dialogue de l'ombre double" (1985) for solo clarinet and electronics by Pierre Boulez, featuring UB faculty member )<an Kopperud as clarinet soloist. The piece is unusual and intriguing in that it is scored for one live clarinet and one prerecorded clarinet. The two do not play simultaneously, except for brief overlaps, until the end when the live performer's sustained high pitch drirts toward a cadential unison with the recorded material that finally re.solves the dissonance and closes the piece. In general, though. a dialogue: exi sts throughout the piece between the live and taped musicians, with each replying to the other's musical ideas. "Music for Sextet and Computer" ( 1993), by UB faculty member Corte Lippe. was commissioned by the lntemational Computer Music~ ­ sociation as part of its commission ~ ing of new works to be premiered each y<ar during the International Computer Music Conference. "The rdationship bctw«n the electronics and the instrwne.ntaJ part ranges on a continuum berween 'transcendental' (fused) and ' formal' (separate), Lippe writes m describing the piece. "On thi s continuum, the dectron1 cs give musical s upport to the mstru · ments and function independentJy Meanwhile, working with com· puters k~ps me questioning the fine line that separates music and 'special effects;" he: writes.

UB'sSchoolofDentalMedicineis taking a different tack.lnoneofthe few such progranu in th~ nation, third- and fourth-year UB dental stud~nts are wing nonjudgmcntal tobacco counsding to encourage thctr patients to quit Resuhs presented recently at the 2007 ln tcrnauona1 Assocutton of Dental R~arch meeung in New Orleans showed that 51 percent of the 89 pauents who accepted and rc(.ctvcd tobacco counseling from the student·denusts agreed to qull tmmcdtately 01 that number, 29 patients, or \2 percent, were 'itill smoke-free altt:r :.ax months Othman Shibly. J.>)lStd.nl professor of penodonLKS .tnd endodontics who developed the program, presented the findings "\Vhcn I took over the rcsponsibil lly for the dental school's preventive dcnttstry program," satd Shtbly, " I thought that maJor changes needed to tx· made an the dental curnculum to dose the gap between ~o.hmcal n..-scarch and chnu:al practk.e. " ~tudents and dentists are taught dbout the t:ffects of smoking on oral health, but . m practice, we only do filhngs and other procedures, so I led thts effort to tden - tify smoking as a dental problem that dentists should anmd to. •These efforu were based also on our goal of making dental tteatmcnt a successful long-term benefit for our patients by addressing all risk factors associated with oral disease; he said. • Research has shown that there is no match for smoking in causing harm to oral health." The student-dentists received eight hours of training on the effects of tobacco and on how to perform nonjudgmental and personalized tobacco-we assessment and counseling. They adhered to a modified version of the established "5 As" protocol: • ..Ask" patients about their smokjng habits, type of tobacco used and frequency of use • "Advise" patients about the ef. fccl!i of tobacro on their oral health. • ..Assess .. patients to determine thetr interest m quitungon a scale of 1- 10 ( 10 b<:ing "most tnt<rested"). • "Assist" pauents who want to quit by offering mcotine parchcs and suggestions on how to avoid the temptation to smoke, such as throwmg away tobacco and put· ung away ashtrays. • "Arra nge" to call patients to see how they are dotng. Th<" counseling program has been incorporated into the school's curriculum and students are grad ed on their ability to present it. Shibly said the students are receptive to carrying out the new protocol-.. they are puning thdr best efforts into learning this so they can incorporate it into their prac1ices"-but they find it challenging due to pressure of an already-tight dental curriculum. Most patients are very appreciative, he said. "One woman from Pennsylvania called a couple weeks after her appointmen t to thank us for making her quit." Joseph ).

Plaque source of pneumonia By LOIJ BAKER Contnbut•ng Ed1tor auents ad nutted to a hospitaJ's mtensive care unit (ICU) already are serio usly ill, so the last thing they need is a new inf~tion . Unfortunatdy, statistics show that as many as 25 percc:nt of all patients admined to the ICU and placed on ventilators develop pneumonia, which can be fatal. Ventilator-associated pneumonia is a major cause of infection in the hospital, and studies haw: shown that this infection can add $40,000 to coS1s and double the length of stay of the patient in the hospital. Ironi call y, it turns out that the patient's own dental plaque is a major source of germs that cause ventilator-associated pneumonia. In r~sults presented recently at the International Association of Dental Research (IADR) meeting, researchers from the School of Dental Medicine show that th< same bacteria identified in dc.ntal plaque of patients when they were admiued to the ICU and placed on ventilators were found later in the lungs of those who subsequently developed pneumonia. "O ur study shows that a strong relationship u.ists between oral and respiratory pathogens in pa - P !Ients wath ventilator-associated pneumonia," said Paul Heo. a doc toral student in the dental school's Department of Oral Biology and first author on the study. "Wear< saying that if the patients' mouths and teeth aren't cleaned while they are in the hospital, they may easily develop lung disease." The presentation is part of a three-year longitudinal, doubleblind study funded by the National Institute of Dental and Craniofucial Research and headed by Frank A. Scannapieco, professor and chair of the Departmen1 of Oral Biology. The trial aims to determine if swabbing ventilated lCU pa tients' mouth s with a bactericide protects them from developing pneumonia. In th iS compone nt , Heo and colleagues concentrated on three strains of suspected pathogens that are responsible for most hospital acquired pneumonia: Su.phylococcuJ au,.eu.s, Escherrchia col1 and Pseudomonas auuginoSll . Samples of plaque from teeth and of secretions from the trachea were ob· tained from ICU patients on the day of admission and every third day thereafter, up to 21 days. Bronchial alveolar lavage samples also were collected from those suspected of having developed pneumonia. Samples from nine patients who were found to have the pathogens of interest in their plaque and were suspected of having pneumonia were selected for analysis. Protein and DNA profiles of pathogens in plaque and in bronchial alveolar lavage samples were identified us· ing a process called pulsed-field gd electrophor«is. Results showed that genetic profiles of bacteria from tracheal and bronchial samples of the nine patients with pneumonia were identical to profiles of bacteria from their dental plaqu<. "These results suggest that the teeth likdy serve as an important reservoir of infection in these patients,'" said Heo . .. To prevent opportunistic, hospital-acquared di.sease, taking care of teeth and gums while hospitalized m1ght be especially important." FJa.ine M. Haase, research aSStXI· .ue professor of oral btology, also contributed to the study Repories 5 Learning art of Ukrainian Easter egg decoration on the Web 0 Eartor Is Sunday, and one way to get into the spiri1 of the season is to decorate Easta eggs. There are a number of great Web sites that can get you started in creating and collecting beautiful Ulcni.nian Easter eggs, called pysanky. Wikipedia provides a good overview of the history behind this ancient art (http://on.-....., org/wlkl / l'y...,h ). The word comes from the Ukranian verb .. pysaty,'" meaning "'to writr,.. as the designs are hand-written onto the egg in be<swax, rather then painted on. Before Christianity came to the Ukrain<, th;-eggs_,. decorated with nature symbols and were used in spring rituals, rcprest.nting Earth's rebirth. With the incorporatton of Christianity mto the cul tur~. the eggs came to rcprc:Knt man's rebirth and the resurrection of Christ. The designs and colors placed on the eggs have symbolic meaning relating to the history be-hind this pract1ce. Each pysanka is intricately designed and color<d for a spectacular end product. Thus, to create your own pysanky, some research is in order. Pysanka.com (http~/www.pysanka.com/mda.php) has a step-by-step guide for decorating the eggs. It involves writing the design on the egg. applying beeswax and continually chpping it into colored dye. The be<swax is applied over each color to act as a seal so that subsequent colon are added to the corr<c1 portiOns of the design. When the colonng process is ~pleted , the wax is burned off the egg With a candle flame and the tiiiiir, multicolored design emerges. You also mightronsider leampysanky.com ( http://-.~y.com/), which contains a tutorial on decorating the eggs and has links to pysanky workshops '" th< United States and Canada. This page has free beginner, intermediat< and advanced designs. with instructions for each . To purchaSt nec~ary supplies. parucularly the dyes and the tn· strument used to apply the beeswax. you can visit allthmgsu.kram1an. com (http://www.allthlngsukralnl•n.com/ Supplles/ Supplles. htm ) or the Ukrainian Gift Shop (http://www.ukraln!.nglftshop. com/ ). Learnpysanky.com also has a list of suppliers (http://www. lumpys.nky.com / suppllen/ suppllen_w .html ). Although you can try your hand at creating your own pysanky for your pm;onal admiration or as gifts. there arc Web sites where you can buy professionally decorated eggs. J>r-lky Colkctibles is one such site (http://...,...~.com /).ln addition to eggs. Pysanky Jewels (http://www.pyunl<yjewels.eom/) offers jewelry and other coUect~bles decorated in pysanky style. Pysanka World (http://www. ~com /) features designs on wooden eggs for purchase. To see some striking examples of pysanky, you can visit the Pysanky Showcase (http://www.pygnkyshowcAuc.com /), which features both traditional and con temporary designs created by well-known pysanky artists. CreatingpysanJ...-y.com (h«p:/ / www.creatlng· py....ky.com/) also has an extensive egg gall<ry. These eggs are exotic even in their most basic design, but one rruly outrageous example is the world's largest pysanlca in Vegreville, Alberta, Canada.

The campaign, Unshackle Upstate. is working with a coalition of concerned citizens, businesses, st udents and workers to spread this message to our elected officials in Albany: We want our e..:onomy movmg. Not our people. Many of us will graduate m May. hut what wi.ll come next ?

And, while nationwide job growth boo~d 23 percent ewer the past 15 years. the number of jobs in upstate N~ York grew just 4 percent.

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.

Methods of Inquiry (MOl) is an interdisciplinary undersraduate course in critical thinking, of· fering lludcnu concrete ways to approach their studies by helpins them become actively involved in their own learning proceas.

Half of the course is dedicated to the cosniliv< psycho!OBY topics of learning. memory and motivation, while the other half is dedicated to the philosophical topics of reachins judsmcnu and analyzing argum~u. 1be course is called Methods of Inquiry because it locates the dis<:ove.ry, framing and understanding of questions as central to the learning and critical thinlcing procases. of Is - - . 1nqu1<y only for - w h o .... stnoggllng Kodemlc.,ly, .,.. t.oke the coune7 can.,,.,... One of the biggest myths about the Methods of Inquiry course is that it is only for students who are struggling acadcmicaUy. This is not the c~ . The course, at its core, is a rigorous exploration of the learning-and-thinking processes. The majority of assignments are done in a student's other cla~s because the way one thinks and learns is often discipline-dependent. Every student is assigned a peer monitor to meet with weekly to determine how well tht student's tfforts mtct tht criteria for any given assignment. In this way, tht course is individualized to each student and his or her strengths and weak nesses. We have found that stu- dcnll who struuk a.cadcmicaUy can really changt their approach to achool and greatly improve their GPA (grodc point average), but we baw also found that studcnu already in bigh academic llanding can still impro~ both their GPA and their attitude about learnins and thinlting. In short, there's something for ewrynne. --of""". . ..- ...... ,_hMl Since Methods of Inquiry is an apptied critical thinlcins course, we k<ep constJnt data on the effect of the coune on student achievanen~ with particular attention to GPA and retention through graduation.

Duriog the lectures, students arc exposed to theories, strategies and techniques that they then apply to their other coursework through assignments that must meet specified criteria. This approach aims to ensure that afttr a semester of carefully monitored self-assessment, students will be able to judge for themselves how well they meet tht crittria set by their variow instructors.

PATIIICIA DOHOVAH Contributing Editor HE legal profession, its associations, firms and law schools hav~ spent years and considerable money encouraging lawyers to do more pro bono work A n<w study by UB sociologist Robert Granfield finds, however, that mandatory law school pro· grams, bar association campaigns and good will are not th< principal spurs provoking lawyers to work for tht public good. In a study published in th< current issue of Law tmd Society Review, Granfield, proftssor and chair of th< Departmmt of Sociology, reports that these inclinations may b< mort greatly influenced by the expectations, pressures, inuntives and preferences rooted in the instirutions for which they work. Th< study, "The M<aning of Pro bono: Institutional Variations in Prof<ssional Oblig,tion," uS<d regression analysis to aamin< da"' obtaintd from 474 attorneys who graduat<d from thr« law schools, all of which had mandatory pro bono programs, in th< northeastern, west· ern and southern United S"'tes Granfield says that whilt, in g<n· cral, participants in mandatory law school programs value pro bono work more than those not involved in them and believe it has a positive impact on them, such experiences may not lead to greater investment in such work. Previous research has indicated that the recent burgeoning. interest in pro bono work does not neces- sarily arise from tht goodness of a practitioner's heart, but is a respofl.S( to conditions atcmal to them. Granfield gots furth<r, finding that the setti ngs within which lawyers practice make possible certain strategic decisions about lawytring for social justice, whilt foreclosing others. •Different 'com.munitia of practice' in tht legal profession-small firms, largo firms, solo practice, for instance-produce variations in professional identity and coruciow· ness, som< of which support pro bono work and som< of which do not, and that these inllumce th< pro bono attirudes of memb<n of th< community in question," h< says. A relat<d anicl< will b< published in th< April <clition of Buffalo Law R<View. Granfield aamin<d th< impact of a number of variables on respondents' attitudes toward pro bono work in genual, their motivations for p<rforming it and th< bentfits they saw in it The findings ~Ito the significance of practice setting. Small law firms or solo practices perform pro bono, but are con strained by limited resources and are significantly less supportive of mandatory pro bono proposals in the profession than are attorneys in larger firms. Lawyers working as in-house co un sd, Granfield found, are significantly less Likely to engag< in volunteer work in general, arc significantly less supportive of pro bono arul proposals for mandatory pro bono work, and perform less of it than lawyers in other settings. Organizational sectors also affect the motivations for practicing pro bono. Given the re~traints plaud on thtm by their workplace, som< attorneys in large finns are motivattd by th< desir< to have greater autonomy ovu cases, work directly with dients and reduce their sense of alienation. Others are motivated by a particular ideology or a desir< to gain personal satisfaction. Still others do so to satisfy professional obligations or to mirror the at- titudes of those around th<m. Granfidd proposes a compla of factors that produce tho dfects in each institutional Ktting and offers an explication of how the kinds of clients, incom< and relativ< marginality of certain practices may infiuetict pro bono decisions. Sex and race entered into the equation as well, with women re- spondents significantly mort lilcdy than men to endors< mandatory pro bono programs, value such work and b<litv< it allows them to give som<· thing back to their community and that paforrning it incr~ their satisfaction in ~ing an attorney. Male respondents were more liJcdy than women to believe that too much emphasis is placed on voluntett work in the legal profession. Nonwhite respondents tended to regard pro bono as a way to give something back to their commu- nity. They w<re significantly less likdy than whites to b<litv< that too much emphasis is placed on pro bono within th< legal profession. Nonwhite re'!f>ondents also were significantly more likdy than their white counterparts to report that they b<oefit from the pro bono work they perform-that it <nhances their legal skills, enable& them to acquir< clients and contacts, and h<lps them establish a professional reputation and that it promotes career mobility. •For centuries pro bono work was dispensed by attorneys in an informal, atomistic manner through chari"'blt organizations," Granfield says . "Now it has bten institutionaliud. It is more centralized and streamlined, distributed through an elaborate organizational struc · ture embedded in and cutti.ng across professional associations, law firms, state-sponsored legal services programs and nonprofit public interest groups. "' New professional roles for at torneys rdated to pro bono work are becoming more popular, many state bar associations now offer annuaJ recognition for pro bono and some firms p~rmit attorneys t~rtdit a portion of their vol- unte<r ltgal work to th<ir billabl< hour r~quirem~nts . .. Th~ practjces may increase support for pro bono work.· says Granfield,"but this study shows that it is different legal organizational sec· tor> that provide tht context within which the meaning of pro bono finds expression and is acted upon." Granfield is a leader in th< UB 2020 strategic strength initiative on Civic Engagement and Public Policy. He is the author of four books and mor< than 50 scholarly articles and reviews in peer-reviewed journals. - It documentwy, 8 p.m. April ·L<Mr OCher,. s I n - Con1ernpotory T- Arts Center, 341 Doilwlre ...... enue, lullolo,ln Ch..m II among them the Superior Accom· Mark htlped found the Univ<r· plishm<nl Award from the Na tional Sciene< Foundation (NSF), siry Consortium for G~ographic and government agencies.

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 has committed VB to taking a leadership role in fighting global warming by signing the American College and University Prcsidenu Climate Commitment. UB IS the first inslitution in Western New York to sign the comm itment to achi.cve .. climate neutrality," reducing greenhouse emiSSIOns and off~ttmg tho~ that remam through vanous measures. It abo 1s the first umvcrsuy center P a nd seco nd camp us an the SUNY system to do so. To date, the leaders of o nly I 33 of this co untry's more than 4,000 colleges and universities have signed the agreement Si mpson has made the commit ment for UB during a semester in which the university is cdebrating ats longstanding leadership among American colleges and universities in reducing energy consumption through c:xtensive and innovative conservation measures, research and teaching, and in promoting alternative encrgy sources under the thcmc "A Greener Shade of Blur" (http:/ / .buffalo.odu/ greener _ub ). It also coi ncides with planning by the universit y to grow by 40 percent and with its dcvdopment of a comprehensive master plan for growth on its North, South and Downtown campuses. Simpson noted that further c.stablishing the umversity as a leader in environ ~ mental stewardship and sustain· able development is one of the core pnnciples guiding this long-range planning process. "We are proud of UB's strong environmental legacy, but we arc not satisfied with resting on our past accompU.hments." said Simpson. "As VB embarks upon the c:xteruivc physical Plannin8 process we have launched to rcaliu our vision for UB's growth aver the nat 15 years. now is the time for setting n~ and ambitious goals and for forging part· naships both within and outside the university that will make mttting th= commitments possible. "With the signing of this com· mitment," he added, "the uniV<rsity IS making a seriow promise to our students, faculty and staff, to the communities of Western N~ York and ultimately to the rest of the world that we will be a relevant and respectful mvironrncn121 steward." Among American colleges and universities, UB is recognized as a leader in reducing energy costs through extensive and innovative conservation measures and in promoting alternative energy sources, steps that are helping to reduce the university's contributions to climate change. The U.S. Environ· mental Protection Agency last year named UB one of its Top 10 Col· lege and University Green Power Partners in recognition of the fact that it is the largest purchasc.r of wind energy in New York. Since the 1970s. UB has instituted more than 300 small and large en· ergy~co~rvation projects that to date have rc:sulted in more than S I00 million in cnagy-cost savings.

Researchers at UB's Research In· stitutc on Addictions report that 18 percent of young women recruited mto a study experienced sexual victimization in a two-year pe· riod. Victimization was defined 35 unwanted saual contact, verbally coerced sex. rape or attempted rape. Among this group. the majority (approximately 66 percent) stated that their victimization was perpetrated by an intimate partner. lmponantly. it was found that sex ual victimization of women by intimate partners and non intimate partn ers are two completely sepa· rate phenomena. Two different sets of nsk factors cx_ist for vic · timization by two different types of perpetrators. "Because risk factors or predictors for the rwo different types of sexual victimization differ, considering them separately allowed w to see who is vulnerable to which type of experience,n stated Maria Testa, Rq>011rr S lead mvcstigator on the study and RIA se nior research scientist. .. It also has suggested th e need for tailoring prevention strategies to each type of experience.• The research results were published in the February 2007 issue of the journal of Consultmg and Cfm,cal Psychology. Testa and coUeagues investigated whether women's substance use, saual activity and lack of asseni~­ ness in refusing sexual advances might contribute to sexual victim~ ization by both intimate partners and nonintimate partners. For purposes of this study, an mtimate partner was defined as a boyfriend/dating partner, husband, ex-boyfriend or ex-husband. All other perpetrators were classified 35 nonintimates and included acquain· tances and friends, and more rarely, rdaliv<s, groups and strangers. Initially through in-penon in ~ terviews at the institute and subscquentJy through questionnaires mailed to their homc:s. 927 womrn averaging 24 y<ars of age at the beginning of the study reponed their ape.ricnct.-s of sexual victimization at the« time points. The sample of womrn ages 18 ~ 30 was represc:nta· th-e of Buffalo and Erie County, with 75 percent of the women identifying themsdvcs as Caucasian, 17 ~rcent as African· American and small percentages as Hispanic. Asian and Native American. Average income was $35,000 and 40 percent of the women were enrolled in college. Most were urunarried and employed either full - or pan-time. The factors that predicted victimization from intimates were different from the factors that predicted victimization from nonintimates. Predictors of mttmatc partner victimization tncludcd being married or living together. prior intimate partner victimization and difficuJty refusing a part· ncr's request for sex. Thus. women who experience this type of sexual victimization are at risk of e~q>eri­ encing it multiple times by v1rtue of remaining in rdationships with sexually aggressive men. A predictor of victimization by a nonintimate perpetrator was binge drinking.··one explanation for this may be that a perpetrator who is not intimately acquainted with a victim is more likely to take advan tage of a woman's intoxication as a way to facilit·ate having sex with her," according to Testa. "Women who arc heavy drinkers or binge drinkers typically drink outs1de the home and in the presence of others who arc drinking, reflecttng a lifestyle that poses grea tu ri sk from men they don't know." Another predictor of victimization by a non intimate perpetrator was engaging in sex with a greater number of sexual partners. This behavtor also increased risk for subsequent sexual VICtimization due" to exposure to a greater num ber of potential perpetrators. Testa suggests that prevention strategies to reduce suual victim· ization by nonintimatc partners should be designed to reduce heavy episodic drinking, as well as the number of sex ual partnerships, especially in populations such as female coUege students. Different st rategies are necessary to prevent sexual victimization from intimate partners and might include assertiveness training for women about how to effectively refuse sexual adva nces and discouraging young women from entering or pftntiR, ing in coercivt relationships.

Ahhough trained as an art historian, Anderson, an assistant professor in the department, has made the history of scientific Imaging her specialty. And it is through this linking of art and science that she found her way to the new field of visual studies. A field that has emerged over the past two decades, visual studies looks beyond traditional works of art, such .ts painting and sculpture, to encompass the critical. analysis of 1magcs in all medid, contexts and cultures, as well as the history of vasion and 1maging technologies. The emergence of the field of vasual studies recognizes a need to address v1sual culture more broad ly, Anderson says. There is a growing demand to bring visual acumen to a varicry of social cat· egorics-mass culture, art history and the sciences--she notes, and says that the UB department hired her "because of its cutting-edge commitment to founding a program that will prepare students for working in a world that in creasingly communicates through visual media. I'm excited to be a part of thas endeavor." The recipient of a doctorate in the history of art from the Univer· sity of Michigan-Ann Arbor, An· derson explajns that her own shift from studying fine art to studying images of science began when she became a project administrator for an ethics program at the Univer· sny of Michigan Medical School .. It was at th1s time that J began meeting and talking to scientists in their laboratories and, as it turned out, geneticists spend a lot of their time making and 111king about images," she says. "I became fascinated by this other world of picture-making and so I decided to shift my research to the history of science, •pecifically to historical In late 2002 , Anderson left Stan · ford for research fellowships at the Ma:x Planck lnslltute for the Has tory of Science m Berhn-one of the foremost institutes 10 au field 10 the world-and the Instnute for the History of Medicine and Health in Geneva, Switurland. l1 was during this ume that she began to focus he.r research on the development of electronic as an M1 Nancy . , aulstMt professor ln the Departmeftt of Ybual Studies, has made the history of scientific l-Ing her opedalty. issues of imaging tccbnjqucs in microscopy." She later relocated to the West Coast. where she became more involved in the history of sci ence through scholars at Stanford University. One project she un · dertook was an exhibition called "Transgenic Light." whi<h focused on the imaging capabilities of a gene known as ..gr«n fluorcsce:nt protein." or GFP, which had been taken from a jellyfish and made into a molecular marur when spliced into the genetic code of other animals. Perhaps the most interesting aspect of the show, she recalls, "was the display of live fruit flies with the GFP gene inserted into their genome. Their eyes glowed green." and fluorescent technologies in cell biology since 1945. She returned to the United States in 2005 and spent last year as the William H. Morton Senior Research Fellow in the Leslie Humanities Center at Dartmouth College, working on a project called "V"uual Culture and Pedagogy in the Life Sciences.• She is co-editing for publication the essays that were produced from this project. Anderson joined the UB faculty this past fall. The official proposal for a doc · toral program in visual scud ies-slated for submission to the state this summer or early fail-is the largest project that Anderson is working on at VB. " It's wonderful to know that the momentum as here wtthin my department and throughout the campus," she says. "And 11 IS a great time to join the UB faculty. When I arnved in August, I imm«!iately p1cked up on a real campuswide ambition to build the future of the academy. One way thu is hap· pening is by developing Ph.D. programs like the one in visual studies. Such programs can only enhance the rcse.arch and ttaching activities of this universt!x'." This semester, Anderson is teaching a course entitled '" Instant Image: From Snapshot to Telepres· encc," which traces the historical roots of the auempu to capture and manage time through imaging technologies--from instantaneous photography from around 1880 through .. live" tcle\'ision and .. real time" computer activiry Her current projects anclude J book chapter about an unusual connection between the architect Buckminster Fuller and two SCI · entists at Cambridge who, through electron microscopy, were studying what viruses looked like. The sci· entisu surm1scd that varus shells must have a shape that was simple to assemble and extremely sturdy. This eventually brought them 10 contact with Fuller and his designs, specifically the geodesic dome. "What they discovered," Ander· son says, "' was that many viruses , in essence, live in geodesic domes ." She will prese.nt this rcstarch at a conference ofltooiCicnce and visual ization to be held in May in Italy.

Brief focuses on violent crime in Buffalo Buffalo has fewer police officers per capita than many other New York State cities By RACHEl. M . YEAMAN Report~ Contributor UFFALO has fewer po· lice officers per capita th an many other cities in New York and nearby states, a condi tion reinforced by a 13 percent drop in officers per capita between 2000 and 2005, according to the most recently released Regional Institute Policy Brief, "'Violent Crime in the City of Good Neighbors." This is especially noteworthy given the city's relatively high violen t-crime rate, which in 2005 exceeded that of Syracuse, Rochester and New York City. According to the brief's comparison of officer and crime levels in Northeast and Midwest cities wi th I 50,000 or more residents, Buffalo is one of only a few cities to have both a higher violent-crime rate and lower officer levels than the group average. Regional Jnstitute Director Kathryn A. Foster notes. however, B that Buffalo's higher-than-average violent -crime rate is not necessarily the result of its lower-than-average officer levels. .. This analysis indicates that cit· ics with violent-crime rates similar to Buffalo's tend to have more of· ficers,"' she said, adding that officer levels often reflect a city's crime rate, not vice versa. .. In the group of cities we examined, the tendency is low officer levds in cities with low violent·crime rates and high officer levels in cities with high violent-crime rates." Buffalo is not an anomaly with regards to iu shrinking offic<r levels. Between 2000 and 2005, many cities reduced their police forces to cope with limited resources. In Detroit, where the violent -crime rate is 70 percent higher than in Buffalo, police levels feU by almost 15 percent. However, other major cities in upstate New York added to their officer levels, including a 5 percent jump in Syracuse.

The scholars will work together in thematic groups n:lattd to the ce ntral topic, .. Higher Education in the 21st Century: Access and Equity." They will address the cultural and societal norms that affect access and equity, the role of K-16 education in limiting or advancing access to higher education and the resources and policies that providt greater access to higher education. By bringing together a divers< group of educational leaden to address the topic of higher education access and equity, "the scbolan will seek constructiv< ways for institutions to d<velop policies that will correspond to the chall~of ensuring equitable access within the framtw<>rk of higher <!<lucatio'h in the 21st century," Johnstone said_ The meeting is the first in a series of seminars for the group and will formally launch their work on higher education access and equity issues. At the conclusion of the meeting, tht scholan will have established goals and objectives for improving higher education access and equity around the world. President John B. Simpso n will host a dinner reception for tht scholars.

Highly Active Antiretroviral Therapies ( HAART) are providing many HCV-positive individuals with a better quality of life and greater longevity. However, extensive re search on HAA.RT has concluded that even minimal nonadherence to the therapy requi remen ts can lead to inadequate viral suppression and medication resistance. This project will lest a typological modd suggesting that the functional antecedents (triggers) of adhcrcne< lapses systematically vary across patients. Using repeated asscssmmts of adherence and potential triggers for lapses over a four-week period, the project will test whether patients systematically vary in terms of the functional anlt'Ccdcnts of their lapses and will develop measures to assess membership in various categories of problematic adherence. • "School of Perpetual Training": Stephanie Rothenberg.

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 said that when he and council chair Jeremy M jacobs meet with Spiue.r, he wants "'to go out of the norm" of what university presidents usually do when they meet with the governor. which, he said, is to ask for monC"y. " I want to tell him why the university is so important to the community and why it 's the kind of thing they should think about as they think about the fu ture of W<st<rn New York.• he ..Ud.

Simpson said. " It has dear academic vision that defines the derisions that we make; every major decision we make in the central administration is ddined by our aim to achieve academic acdknce." he said . ..

Based on these str<ngths, planning and implementation teams composed of staff from the Office of Undergraduate Education and the Division of Student Affairs are working with faculty to establish four Undergraduate Academiestwo for fall 2007 and an additional two for f.ill2008 . They would cover four topacs: civic engagement (fall 2007), research exploration (faU 2007). global and tnternauonal assues (fall 2008) and crc:ativt- ex· pression (fall2008). Each academy wiJ1..be led by a faculty master s<Jtoiir and a board of fucuhy fdlows. The acadanies will connect studenlS and fuculty to each other and help nudenr.s to more easily id<ntify the opportunities that are available al Ull thai relate to their particular inte.re.su, irrespective of their acadetmc maJOr For eu.mple, a student interested U1 civic engag.omenl will b< able 10 identify relevant courses. ~minar.s., workshops, community projects, serviu l<arning opportunitia, advanced cour~ti, independent study options, study club activittes, kader· ship crperimces, otc. tbat rdat< to this theme.

I bclicvt that most &culty fed it is m their mterest to attract students to thetr discipline-s, motivate students to acd in their studi~ and prepare studmts for continuing thdr r-ducation. My chaUenge i5 not to convinu the faculty that it's worth doing. but rather that the time commitrnentu mod<st.

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 noted. The figur< usually cited in thcsc cases is slightly less than I: I, he said, so an increase in the faculty of 750 would mean increasing the num· ber of staff by a little more than 600. He po.inted out, however, that be tbirtlu that number should be doscr to parity.

But the threat of widespread ctqptal piney also bas produa:d"copyright panic." spawning an illogical expansion of copyright prot<ctions in recent )"'US. contmds an int<llectual property expert at the UB l.aw School. "A lot of people in the legal community are concerned that copyright protections ba~ gone too far." says Mark Bartholomew, visiting associate professor of law. This trend toward ovuualow expansion of copyright law is described in an article in the current issue of Berlcdey Technology Law Journal. The arllcle IS co-authored by Bartholomew and lobn Tehranian, associate professor of law at the Univusity of Utah. Bartholomew and Tehranian describe the irrationa1 expansion of secondary liability standards in copyright law in the fare of such new digital t<chnologies as MP3 players. Tbis was illustrated fa . mously when the courts ruled that Grolcster and Napster, creatnn of peer-to-peer fik..sbaring technologies. could he held liabk Cor illegal copying performed by wen of the oompanies' technology. These ruling~, llar1bolomew and Tehranian say, hove apanded what onu was a finn requirement of secondary liability: 1b be guilty of secondary copyright in.&ingemeo~ companies must have rec.eived a direct financial bendit as a result of the illegalu.. of a t<chnolngy by another pOny. "In the past. money bad to chang< hands to show secondary liability, but with Napster and Grolcster, you bad a hypoth<tical future n-vmue stream: Bartholomew explains. "This represents a dramatic espansion of the law." ln contrast, tradc:mark law has not been subjected to a broadening of secondary liability in recent years. even though ctqptal t<chnologies pose just as much a threat to tndemark holders, Bartholomew a.nd Tebranian point out. The divergent path of copyright and trademark law has "created tremendous legal unctttainty that threatens the investment in new technologia," they say. In aeating a double sWldud Cor copyright and tndemark law, the courts appear to ba.., hem inllu· meed by the "romantic nature" of copyright law, 8artholomew uys. .. It's romantic to think about JOIDC'onc writing the great American navel or producing a hit song." he ezplains. "and the people who appeal Cor prouction of these rights-authors. movie stars. musicians--are th<mseM:s V<ry a.ppealing." \o\lhen these romantic notions l.n' combined with fears of widespread digital theft, you get "copyright panic," Ba.rthoJom~ contends. Trade.mark. law, on the other hand, rarely gets the Hollywood trntment and has. not succumbed to the same irrational behavior, Bartholomew points out. "Nobody feels so romantic aboot trademarks. These case. usually inY<>M big oorpontions, ad people and sales peopk who a.re not as appealing of I pWntilf as a Carlos Santana or Doo Henley.That's why the court bas hem able to raiu apoD<Iing trademark law." Bartholomew and Teb.rani&n worry that u MW technologies emerge, secondary liability laW> will be further distorted, and trademark law ...,tuaUy will he swq>t up in the panic. Copyright law should be r< · trenched to match trademarlt law, they argue. lf no~ a gap in intellectual property jurisprudena will continue- to grow.

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 that wasn't enough, it also moved lts entire infrastructure, induding a 2,000-processor supercomputer, from the university's North Campus into UB's New York State Center of Excellence in Bioin· forma tics and Lift Sciences on tht Buffalo Niagara Medical Campus in downtown Buff.tJo O And CC R users not1ced bardy a htccup in stfVICe.

While CCR staff and W~Crs enjoy the increases in power, as weU as the center's new home, Thomas R. Furlani, CCR's director, says the real dividend from the move has come from new synergies it is generating with resu.rchers in the Center of Excellence and its part- ners, Roowcll Park Cancer lnstitutt and the Hauptman -Woodward Medical Rcscarrb Institute . ..

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.

"Schools do not exist in a vacu~ urn," said Shulman. "Many of the in-school conflicts are related to community, family and «Onomic issues.

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< series is funded in part by a grant from th< Substance AhUS< and Mental Health Series Administrauon (SAMHSA ) and is the lint of a larger effort at UB to address swcide and other hartnful behaviors through a comprehensive,campwWlde approach to the subj<Ct.

We want to partner wtth the people who are on the front lines with students every day." The best means to prevent the negative emotions with which stu ~ dents often struggle from turning into harmful thoughts or actions, Mitchell continu~. is establishing an environment that focuses on awareNess and encourages vulnerable students to seek help. Early detection and intervention on behalf of students with mental ~ health problems is the responsibility of the rnrire university community because the~ struggles can be significant obstacles to success in higher education. she says. noting that the academic achievement of even the most intelligent students is at risk if serious emotional issues are not addressed. " Whenever the inlellectual. emotional, physicaJ or social eltment.s of a student's life are out of balance for an mr·Oded period of time," she says, .. academk progress may be compromised.

If you care about keeping tn our city this irreplaceable part of our cultural heritage, you wiU want to attend Such meetings are usually called by the president or by the majorIty of the board, but aft('r somt of w spoke to a fe:w me:mbcrs of the board and asked for a special mctting, wt wert informed, after a frw days of djscussion among board members, that the board did not chooSC' to call a meeting. That leaves the third method allowed for by the bylaws of the gal.l ery-th< request of S percent of the mem bers-which means that we will nttd at least 400 reqUests for tht meeting ln order to make it ·hap~n I5 percent of the total membership of about 8,000). If you are not a member and care about this iuuc. please JOin at once by visiting the gaUery or by tmail, so that you can send in your request for a meeting. We must act now. The items have aU been shipped to Sotheby's 10 New York, and the first lot is scheduled to be auctioned in March. Your written request, which should include your address and the date. could tal« the following IOnn: To the President and Board of Directors; I, (yow nam<),a member of the Albright-Knox Art Gallery. hereby request that a sp<cial meeting of the members be held as soon as posstble to discuss and vot.t' on a motion to withdraw from the scheduled auction of some 145 pi«es from the gallery. (Your signature, with printed name beneath.) The letter should be smt to the President and the Board of Dir<<> tors, Albright-Knox An Gallery. 1285 Elmwood Ave., Buffalo. N.Y.. 14222. A backup ropy should be stnt to Carl Dmnis, UB Department of English. The board argues that tht> oldt>r art is not relevant to ow mission , but while modern and contemporary an is the primary focus of the gallery. the collecting of the obj<rts now Knt off for auction has been going on from its beginning, under gmerations or boards and din~c ­ tors who believed that the art of the pr<smt c-•nnot be understood in historicaJ isolation, that to appreciate any single period requirts placing it in tht> context of art of other eras and traditions. Selling off older work to buy new work would not only radically curtail the rang< of the beautiful in the visual arts in Buffalo, but would destroy the dialogue between past and pres<nt that increases our understanding of the modem and cont~mporary. We have to add that the m<mbers of the gallery have been rnbr<ly c:xduded &om the deliberations that led to the decision to sell. The board adopted a poticy of totai secrecy as part of what S«ms to have been a deliberate attempt to keep the memb<rsbip and the rommunity in the dark until the contract for the sale had bttn ,;gned so that the protest would come too late.. When the news of the sale was mad< public in Tht Buffalo N<ws, the obj<cts had already bttn sent off lOr auction. This is not tht OJ><!n and honest dealing that we as members have a right to expect &om the board that we haw elected. Sincerely, c.t Dennis ................

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.

Along with such contempo· raries as painters David Salle and Eric Fischl and photographers Sher,;, Levine and Louise Lawler, Adams used appropriation techniques to critically evaluate societal structur<S and the rol< of governments, the media and museums. His "Research and Development" series from the early to mid - 1990s is a culmination of ideas he had been exploring throughout 1he 1980s.

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.

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 project is supponed by a $2.8 million award from tht National Institute on Drug AbUS< to Rina Das Eiden, RIA senior research scientist and research associate prof<SSOr. School of Mc.iicine and Biomedical Sciences. It has been shown that children who W<r< exposed to family members who smoked have a poorer ability to dcvdop self-regulation than children not exposed to smoke in the home environment. This study will measure selfregulation in infancy by examining physiological and behavioral reactions during times of emotional arousal. Sdf-regulation in toddlers will be measured by obsuving thrir ability to control ccnain behaviors. attmtion to and compliant< with parental rui<S and int<malization of thes< rul ... Eiden's co-tnV6tigators on tht study include Cnig Colder, RIA associatt re~arch scientist and associate professor, Department of Psychology; Gorard 1. Connors. RIA director and mouch pmf<ssor, Department of Psychology and School of Social Work; Kmneth E. Leonard, RIA senior res<arch scimtist and .-.search professor, Depanrnmt of Psychiatry; and Pamela Schurue, RIA asoociate restarch scientist and associatC' professor, Department of Psychology. Buffalo State College. "The goals of this study include an examination of the din:ct effects of prenatal and environmental tobacco smoke on the cJe..lopment of cbildr<n's sdf-r.gulation during the first two y<ars of life." Eiden stated. In addition to pot<ntial din:ct effects of cigarettes, Eiden and colleague-s will examine 5n~ttal altanatiV< pathways by which cigartttc tq><>surt may impact dtildren's self- ~gulation . "Onr su~.:h pathway may be through probltnu in language dovdopmmt," Eiden explained. "Cigarette exposure alfects central audi-tory proassing via the link between auditory processing and nicotine receplor sit.es---.affecting the acquisition of language.

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.

When conceptualiz.a· T tions and definitions are not shared by individuals looking at the same data, tht result can bt flawed ossumptions. confusion, commtmication brnltdown and an inaccurate outco~ . Within I paniculu framework, ontologisu describe or posit the basic categories and rdationsbips of being or existence, and \LCoe these to define entities and types of entities within the frame · work-mtitics and types thai can bt agreed upon and shared. In 6dds of S<Curity and intelli· gene<, applied ontological re.ltlfcb is being used to dcvdop approaches to the analysis of intdtigeoct that will coablt greater fta:ibility. precision, timeliness and automation of analysis. which will maxirniu valu· able human resources in respond· ing to fasl-nolving threats. Today and tomorrow, the National Center for Ontological Rcsearcb (NCOR) at UB io sponsoring "Ontology for the lntdli· gmce Community," o workshop being hdd in Columbia, Md. The workshop, organized by inttmationally recognized ontol· agist Barry Smith, SUNY Distinguished Profeosor in the UB Dq>artment of Philosophy and director of NCOR, will bring together scholars and analyst$ to discuss new approaches to data anolysU in the intelligence field. A1tt:odees will include analysts from the Central lntdtigcncc Agency, the National Stcurity Administration, tht Department of Dcfenst, the Dcftrut lnttlligencc Agency, the Senate Intelligence Commincc Technical Advisory Board and other agtneieo involved in intdhgma activines. '" The incru.sing volume, variety and vdocity of inttlligenct analy· sis in the post-9/I I world makes it c~ntial that data ·be ass<ssed accuratdy and quickly, regardless of il> type or source," Smith sayo.

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.

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.
