State fines school officials for not reporting gifts from firm involved in Oxnard case
SACRAMENTO — Spurred by an investigation last year by the Ventura County District Attorney's Office into the activities of Oxnard city officials, the Fair Political Practices Commission found 205 government officials across the state failed to properly report gifts from the same companies involved in the Oxnard case.
The state's political watchdog agency reported this week that settlements have been reached with 86 of those officials, including five from Ventura County, and all have agreed to pay $200 penalties. The enforcement actions are scheduled to be finalized at the commission's Nov. 14 meeting.
Nearly all the gifts were meals provided by E.J. de la Rosa & Co., a Los Angeles-based municipal bond underwriting firm led by investment banker Ed de la Rosa, who was reared in Oxnard. The commission's report says there was "no indication of wrongdoing on the part of any company" and the companies cooperated fully with the investigation.
About half the instances involved unreported gifts that were very close to the $50 reporting threshold. Those officials received warning letters. Of the remaining 104 cases, 18 remain unresolved.
The Ventura County officials who have settled their cases and agreed to pay $200 for not reporting gifts from de la Rosa & Co. are:
Anthony Monreal, former superintendent of Oxnard School District, who did not report two meals valued at $242.50.
Gabriel Soumakian, superintendent of the Oxnard Union High School District, who did not report three meals valued at $179.99.
Oxnard Union Trustee Harold Edmonds, who did not report one meal valued at $139.71.
Oxnard Union Trustee Socorro Lopez-Hanson, who did not report one meal valued at $139.27.
Teresa Williams, superintendent of the Moorpark Unified School District, who did not report one meal valued at $102.60.
All the gifts were received in 2011.
Last year, based largely on information uncovered during District Attorney Greg Totten's investigation, the commission levied more severe fines against three former Oxnard officials, including the mayor and city manager, for violating state laws on gifts and conflicts of interest. Fines against three top city officials totaled $27,000.
Among the violations involving former City Manager Ed Sotelo was an unreported $806 in gifts from de la Rosa & Co., which included dinners in New York and tickets to a Broadway show for his wife and him.
At its meeting next week, the commission is expected to finalize a settlement with Oxnard School District Trustee Ernie "Mo" Morrison, who has agreed to pay an $800 penalty for failure to file timely, semiannual campaign finance reports during 2011 and 2012. Those were years after his election to the board in 2010 and did not involve campaign season violations.

Before you work with Azure resources, get familiar with the deployment models: Resource Manager, and classic.
The current version of the Azure Management Portal only accepts SSH public keys that are encapsulated in an X509 certificate. Follow the steps below to generate and use SSH keys with Azure.
Install the
openssl utility if needed:
CentOS / Oracle Linux
# sudo yum install openssl
# sudo apt-get install openssl
SLES & openSUSE
# sudo zypper install openssl
openssl to generate an X509 certificate with a 2048-bit RSA keypair. Please answer the few questions that the
openssl prompts for (or you may leave them blank). The content in these fields is not used by the platform:
# openssl req -x509 -nodes -days 365 -newkey rsa:2048 -keyout myPrivateKey.key -out myCert.pem
Change the permissions on the private key to secure it.
# chmod 600 myPrivateKey.key
Upload the
myCert.pem while creating the Linux virtual machine. The provisioning process will automatically install the public key in this certificate into the
authorized_keys file for the specified user in the virtual machine.
If you are going to use the API directly, and not use the Management Portal, convert the
myCert.pem to
myCert.cer (DER encoded X509 certificate) using the following command:
# openssl x509 -outform der -in myCert.pem -out myCert.cer
The previous example describes how to create a new key for use with Azure. In some cases you may already have an existing OpenSSH compatible public & private key pair and wish to use the same keys with Azure.
OpenSSH private keys are directly readable by the
openssl utility. The following command will take an existing SSH private key (id_rsa in the example below) and create the
.pem public key that is needed for Azure:
# openssl req -x509 -key ~/.ssh/id_rsa -nodes -days 365 -newkey rsa:2048 -out myCert.pem
The myCert.pem file is the public key that may then be used to provision a Linux virtual machine on Azure. During provisioning the
.pem file will be translated into an
openssh compatible public key and placed in
In some cases the SSH endpoint for a Linux virtual machine may be configured for a port other then the default port 22. You can find the correct port number on the Dashboard for the VM in the Management Portal (under "SSH Details").
Connect to the Linux virtual machine using
ssh. You will be prompted to accept the fingerprint of the host's public key the first time you log in.
# ssh -i myPrivateKey.key -p <port> email@example.com
(Optional) You may copy
myPrivateKey.key to
~/.ssh/id_rsa so that your OpenSSH client can automatically pick this up without the use of the
-i option.
There are a number of utilities that include a
openssl for Windows. A few examples are listed below -
msys from the installed directory (example: c:\msysgit\msys.exe)
bin directory by typing in
cd bin
Run Git Shell from the Start Menu > All Programs > GitHub, Inc
Note: You may encounter the following error when running the
openssl commands above:
Unable to load config info from /usr/local/ssl/openssl.cnf
The easiest way to resolve this is to set the
OPENSSL_CONF environment variable. The process for setting this variable will vary depending on the shell that you have configured in Github:
set OPENSSL_CONF=%GITHUB_GIT%\ssl\openssl.cnf
Git Bash:
export OPENSSL_CONF=$GITHUB_GIT/ssl/openssl.cnf
Type in the following command:
# openssl.exe req -x509 -nodes -days 365 -newkey rsa:2048 -keyout myPrivateKey.key -out myCert.pem
Your screen should look like the following:
Answer the questions that are asked.
It would have created two files:
myPrivateKey.key and
If you are going to use the API directly, and not use the Management Portal, convert the
myCert.pem to
myCert.cer (DER encoded X509 certificate) using the following command:
# openssl.exe x509 -outform der -in myCert.pem -out myCert.cer
Download and install Puttygen from the following location: http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/download.html
Puttygen may not be able to read the private key that was created earlier (
myPrivateKey.key). Run the following command to translate it into an RSA private key that Puttygen can understand:
# openssl rsa -in ./myPrivateKey.key -out myPrivateKey_rsa # chmod 600 ./myPrivateKey_rsa
The command above should produce a new private key called myPrivateKey_rsa.
Click the menu: File > Load a Private Key
Find your private key, which we named
myPrivateKey_rsa above. You will need to change the file filter to show All Files (*.*)
Click Open. You will receive a prompt which should look like this:
Click OK
Click Save Private Key, which is highlighted in the screenshot below:
Save the file as a PPK
Fill in the host name using the IP from the Management Portal:
Before selecting Open, click the Connection > SSH > Auth tab to choose your key. See the screenshot below for the field to fill in:

Rants, Raves & Really?!?
A look back at last week's highs, lows and whatevers:
RAVE: Coweta County law enforcement captured a suspect wanted on four counts of aggravated assault with a firearm. Jimmy Lee Rosser Jr., 29, was arrested for allegedly shooting at his girlfriend and three children. And a RANT to Rosser, who's now in the running for Father of the Year.
REALLY?!? The Newnan-Coweta County Airport/Whitlock Field just raised hangar fees at the airport, citing the airport's rates are below the market. The 11 percent to 13 percent increases were called "modest."
RANT: Antolin Cancio Gonzalez, 36, was arrested after throwing beer bottles at a group helping his estranged wife move out. He later went to his car and retrieved a loaded .22 rifle and threatened to kill everyone. Fortunately, neighbors were able to pin Gonzalez down until authorities arrived, or else the situation could have been much worse.
RAVE: The Post Office gets a lot of flack, but hats off to them for opening on President's Day — a federal holiday. The recent ice storms shut down post offices across the state and volunteers manned the booths on the holiday to catch up and help people with their mailings.
RANT: Yet another case of identity theft. A Newnan couple was arrested and charged with multiple counts of identity fraud. They used four different credit cards belonging to an individual and stole several thousand dollars. Check your bank statements.
REALLY?!? The PTO treasurer of Arnco-Sargent Elementary stepped down after an investigation determined about $6,000 was used for "inappropriate expenditures." No arrests were made after the treasurer repaid the money.
RANT: What is it about men beating their girlfriends with baseball bats? Do they just have some off-the-wall idea it's some right of manhood we don't know about? Alan Michael Thompson, 25, was arrested and charged with aggravated assault with a knife and aggravated assault with other weapon. Someone needs to take him out back and give him what he gave his girlfriend.
RANT: We're back to long lines at the Coweta County Tag Office. More than 40 people were waiting in line last Friday. Officials attributed it to the office being closed for two days during the ice storm. Let's hope this doesn't continue.
RAVE: Newnan and Peachtree City were honored as among the safest cities in Georgia. PTC was at number 5 while Newnan was at number 47, according to a study by www.safewise.com. Thanks to our local law enforcement for keeping us safe.
RANT: Three people were arrested for possessing about $35,000 worth of meth. The seizure totaled 2.2 pounds. No wonder we can't get any nasal decongestants. A big RAVE to the county's Crime Suppression Unit for nabbing the alleged drug dealers.

How to Layer Furnishings (without Photoshop)Monday, May 21st, 2012
Hey everyone, hope you all had a great weekend! I'm finally feeling caught up after all that traveling, and today wanted to share a technique with you on creating inspiration boards by layering furnishings on top of one another for better visualizing spaces.
For years, I had admired the Photoshop skills of others and especially how they were able to layer furnishings in a room to create a mood or inspiration board. As a home and design blogger, it's a cool thing to know how to create a realistic looking space by using digital image editing tools, right? Even if you're not a blogger, there are tools you can use to create "rooms" for yourself just for fun too.
I have been playing around for months in Photoshop Elements and finally have a comfortable working understanding of the tools. But here's the news of the day: even if you don't have or don't know how to use Photoshop Elements, there is a way to layer furnishings in a room just like you see below, and without Photoshop!
When I say "without Photoshop" what I mean is you really can create a multi layered space like the reading corner seen above without actually buying the software. You'll be using a few of the basic Photoshop tools but you'll be applying them in a free online user friendly image editor called Pixlr.
In Pixlr, you can cut out and layer furnishings or objects on top of each other without buying or installing Photoshop and when I first discovered it last year, I thought it was pretty cool and rather user friendly too. If you haven't taken the plunge to buy, install, and learn Photoshop Elements, this program will allow you to get your feet wet and play around with the tools before you make the leap because it mimics Photoshop Elements in both layout and functionality. And it's free.
If you want to make an inspiration board that looks more three dimensional, or more like a "real" room, here are the basic steps that allow you to layer a chair on a rug and a pillow on that chair just like you see below.

US adspend to pick up
7 May 2013
NEW YORK: Core US adspend will show a modest growth in 2013 before picking up more quickly in 2014, thanks to a better economic outlook and the boost provided by the Winter Olympics and mid-term elections, according to a new analysis.
Magna Global US Advertising Forecast
predicted core media ad revenues – from TV, internet, newspapers, magazines, radio and out of home – will increase 0.4% during 2013 but this will rise to 5.9% the following year.
"The latest economic forecasts for 2014 may sound like a modest acceleration, but it should be enough to raise confidence to the point where marketers switch from optimization mode to expansion mode," said Vincent Letang, director of Global Forecasting.
"For media owners, especially traditional mass media categories, this means that there is light at the end of the tunnel," he added.
But for the current year, only digital and out of home are expected to show any growth, the former leading the way with an 11.5% uplift and the latter on 3.5%. TV ad revenues, however, will decrease 2.8%, newspapers and magazines will drop 6.8% and 6.7% respectively, and radio will slip back 0.2%.
Digital is again anticipated to be the main driver of growth in 2014, with a 12% increase forecast. TV is expected to pick up 8.9% thanks to increased political adspend and the Winter Olympics in Sochi.
Out of home will also benefit from the mid-term elections, growing 5.4% while radio ticks over with a 1% increase. The decline of newspapers and magazines will continue, shrinking at rates of 7.7% and 5.4% respectively.
Letang noted that digital spending growth had slowed from previous years as the amount available to transfer from other budgets had diminished. "The overall pie doesn't grow significantly," he said.
He also expected a further deflation of display and video ad prices during the year, thanks to an explosion of supply coupled with new trading mechanisms such as programmatic buying.
The growth of mobile was another factor in this deflation, he told
, observing that this could account for 13% of all internet advertising in 2013.
"And because the pie is not growing that much, it's at the expense of other digital formats to a certain extent. It's participating in the deflation for traditional digital formats," he concluded.

Sometimes I Act Crazy: Living with Borderline Personality Disorderby Jerold J Kreisman
Synopses & Reviews
Publisher Comments:
Life with borderline personality disorder is a life out of control. Pulled apart by warring emotions and self-destructive impulses, tormented by fears of abandonment, those with BPD rarely know real satisfaction or inner peace. BPD sufferers emotions can drive them to acts of antisocial violence and destruction or to self-mutilation, drug and alcohol abuse, eating disorders, compulsive gambling, or sexual compulsions.
Living with someone with BPD is not easy either. Those with BPD can be charming and sympathetic, yet their violent mood swings, propensity for veering suddenly and inexplicably from adoration to hatred, and destructive impulsivity can make life with them like running an endless emotional gauntlet.
If you or someone you care for has been diagnosed with borderline personality disorder, this book will be a source of healing. If you suspect that your child, mate, or other loved one has BPD, it can help you to understand why that person acts the way he or she does and will show you what you can do to help make his or her lifeand your lifehappier and more rewarding.
Written by one of the most respected authorities on borderline personality disorder, Sometimes I Act Crazy is a source of wisdom and practical advice on living with the most common personality disorder. Dr. Jerold Kreisman refutes the misperception that BPD is untreatable, and he charts the enormous progress that has been made over the past decade by researchers in a variety of fields in understanding its causes and therapies. He also offers expert guidance on getting a proper diagnosis and understanding all the best treatment options currently available.
Each chapter of Sometimes I Act Crazy centers on a riveting case story that takes you inside the life of a BPD sufferer at a crucial life moment. Dr. Kreisman explores the complex play of forces at work behind the symptom or behavior under discussion. And he provides simple action steps BPD sufferers or their loved ones can take to help keep things from boiling over into a full-fledged crisis.
Wise, compassionate, and practical, Sometimes I Act Crazy offers new hope to people with borderline personality disorder and those closest to them.
A source of hope, expert advice, and guidance for people with borderline personality disorder and those who love them
Do you experience frightening, often violent mood swings that make you fear for your sanity? Are you often depressed? Do you engage in self-destructive behaviors such as drug or alcohol abuse, anorexia, compulsive eating, self-cutting, and hair pulling? Do you feel empty inside, or as if you don't know who you are? Do you dread being alone and fear abandonment? Do you have trouble finishing projects, keeping a job, or forming lasting relationships?
If you or someone you love answered yes to the majority of these questions, there's a good chance that you or that person suffers from borderline personality disorder, a commonly misunderstood and misdiagnosed psychological problem afflicting tens of millions of people. Princess Diana was one of the most well-known BPD sufferers.
As a source of hope and practical advice for BPD sufferers and those who love them, this new book by Dr. Jerold J. Kreisman and Hal Straus, bestselling authors of I Hate You, Don't Leave Me, offers proven techniques that help you:
* Manage mood swings
* Develop lasting relationships
* Improve your self-esteem
* Keep negative thoughts at bay
* Control destructive impulses
* Understand your treatment options
* Find professional help
"Kreisman's commentary is expert. . . . [He] incorporates advances in the understanding of BPD that have been made in the last fifteen years, as well as new case studies and anecdotes. . . . Narrative descriptions . . . are packed with behaviors that Kreisman then proceeds to take up and unfold, all the while . . . making suggestions for how to cope, verbally or otherwise, with a host of Borderline behaviors."

ABC Gives 'Once Upon a Time,' 'Last Man Standing' & 'Happy Endings' Full Season Orders
Though 'Once' has only aired two episodes so far, it's already the highest-rated new drama of the season, managing an average 12.3 million viewers and a robust 4.0 rating in the coveted adults 18-49 demo. Allen's male-skewing comedy has seen some audience erosion since its premiere, but it's still performing well on Tuesday nights (12.7 million and a 3.7 demo), where ABC had previously struggled to make an impact.
Sophomore comedy 'Happy Endings' has seen series-high ratings in recent weeks, and finally seems to be catching on with viewers in its post-'Modern Family' slot, which has earned it a full 22 episodes. (Ah-mah-zing!)
Bad news for 'Pan Am' and 'Man Up' though ...
Despite a hefty publicity campaign, 'Pan Am' has failed to take off with viewers the way ABC was anticipating. It averages 8.4 million viewers, with a paltry 2.8 in the demo, but the network seems determined to give the show a chance. They haven't announced a full season pickup, but they have ordered five additional scripts to give the series a little more time to find its wings. If things don't improve in the coming weeks, though, expect it to be grounded permanently. (No more flying puns now, we promise.)
Also absent from the pickup list, 'Man Up,' which doesn't have the benefit of Allen's name recognition to boost viewership. It's likely that cancellation is imminent, even if its 7.3 million viewers would make NBC green with envy.
Have you connected to 'Pan Am'? Which new ABC shows are you watching?

Sustainability is more central to business success than ever. It affects a company's goodwill and reputation, ability to secure strategic raw materials, use of resources, and ultimately, strategy for growth.
When planning for sustainable growth, a company needs to assess its footprint in economic, social, and environmental terms at all stages of that projected growth, with careful prioritisation of the actions it needs to take.
Add to that the risks and opportunities a company needs to build into its sustainable business model to cover the next two, five or ten years, and the need for an expert partner to provide a well-thought out and clearly articulated strategy becomes clear.
We can help you pinpoint your organisation's key dependencies on ecosystems as well as your impact on biodiversity. We'll also help you to identify likely natural resources scarcities or price hikes that could lie ahead, and give you insights into how and where your reputation could be tarnished if you don't comply with key regulations, norms and standards.
We'll then help you project your business plan, or even advise you on how to reshape your business model by taking likely climate, natural resource and other changes into account.

February 2012
- Contents
Welcome to the February edition of the Round Table!
Over the past several months, you have heard much about our new clinical strategy. I, along with other Health System leaders, have been attending open-forum meetings, such as Uteam and Town Hall meetings, to convey the history of, and reason for, this new strategic direction. To continue the transparency and communication of information regarding this initiative, I will continue to visit individual departments with other members of Health System leadership to discuss our overall goals and the future of the Health System, and to solicit questions.
The Medical Center Operating Board will meet this month, and part of its agenda will be to review and discuss the implementation planning of the new clinical strategy. We are currently assembling work groups to implement six areas of focus: ambulatory and physician network development, clinical programs, clinical research strategy, regional partnerships, our operations team, and a financial resources group.
We need our faculty and staff in the School of Medicine, as well as those across the entire Health System, to have a shared commitment and engagement for this new direction. As we face diminishing, or drastically reduced, funding from various avenues, we have to find new ways to become self-sufficient. Keeping the status quo is not an option. "Business as usual" will not allow our organization to thrive in these competitive times. The clinical strategy represents our opportunity to lead by example, foster a cycle of success, become the partner of choice for other institutions, drive innovation, and affirm our position as a top-tier academic medical center.
More information regarding the clinical strategy can be found in the debut issue of Collaboration, a new quarterly Health System publication. Collaboration also tells the stories of dedicated colleagues and technological advances. It celebrates research discoveries and academic accomplishments, setting the stage as we move as one. I urge you to bookmark uvacollaboration.com, customize your news, and subscribe to the RSS feed.

School of Medicine Employee of the Month Awards
I'm happy to announce our latest School of Medicine Employees of the Month are Barbara White (August 2011), Danielle Richardson (October 2011), Keena Thomas (November 2011), and Ornuma Wawsri (December 2011). There were no nominees in the month of September 2011.
Thanks to each of you for giving your colleagues, patients, students, and others your best.
Barbara White
Barbara, Fiscal Analyst in Neurology, was honored for assuming the responsibility of Clerkship Coordination due to an unexpected absence. Her pleasant demeanor and professionalism reflected positively on the department and the School. "Barbara has worked hard and has always agreed to work on whatever aspect of the clerkship coordination that needed to be done. She is always cheerful and calm, which helps out tremendously in a sometimes stressful situation," wrote Priscilla Potter, MD, Clerkship Director.
Danielle Richardson
Danielle, Grants Accountant for the Department of Radiology and Medical Imaging, was honored because she assumed additional responsibilities as the result of a vacancy while maintaining her full workload. "I have seen Danielle lead difficult cost savings conversations, act as a leader by relaying group concerns, and quickly and accurately respond to requests. Danielle's reputation as being in the forefront of her specialty precedes her, and I feel extremely proud to have her as a member of our finance team," wrote Elizabeth Molina, Director of Finance.
Keena Thomas
In nominating Keena, Amy H. Bouton, PhD, Associate Dean for Graduate and Medical Scientist Programs, wrote, "Keena has been a key liaison with the construction staff for the lab, as well as the entire department, and has come in repeatedly on nights and weekends to check on the aftermath of construction outages." A Laboratory Specialist Senior with the Department of Microbiology, Immunology and Cancer Biology, Keena became the "go-to" person on the 7th floor of Jordan whenever any administration or construction concerns were expressed. This was particularly critical in 2011 as the department faced extreme challenges amid significant construction impediments.
Ornuma Wawsri
"Ornuma is 'one of a kind' and a 'rare find' who is truly an asset to Anne Chapin [her supervisor] and the Clinical Skills Center team," says Yvonne G. Newberry, Assistant Clerkship Director, OB/GYN. The nomination for Ornuma, Medical Senior Simulation Technology Specialist in the Department of Medical Education, highlighted her taking the initiative to sort and organize two years of data to facilitate a clinician's research; devising a beneficial solution to enhance the privacy for patients and student learners in the Clinical Skills Center; and creating efficiencies in Center operations that allowed the Center to nearly double its output in 2011 without additional staff.
Congratulations Barbara, Danielle, Keena and Ornuma.
Division of Infectious Diseases and International Health Faculty Receive Accolades
January was a wonderful month for faculty members in the Division of Infectious Diseases and International Health, as they received many awards and recognition. Please join me in congratulating ...

Ann Deusing Wins Library Services Outreach Award
Please join me in congratulating Ann Duesing, Outreach Librarian for Southwest Virginia with the University of Virginia Claude Moore Health Sciences Library. She recently won the National Library of Medicine Michael E. DeBakey Library Services Outreach Award. This award is given annually to honor a health sciences librarian assisting an underserved community.
Duesing's efforts include playing a key role in three major health initiatives, including TechWorld, a program using student volunteers from area high schools to teach computer skills to caregivers for patients with Alzheimer's and other conditions. Deusing helped secure a grant for a touch-screen computer and printer at the Mountain Laurel Cancer Support and Resource Center, a facility that helps its residents access online information about cancer and treatments, and also provides gas cards and food to patients who travel to receive cancer treatments. And, as a faculty member at the Healthy Appalachia Institute, she helps leaders on health projects access vital information for their work. Congratulations, Ann.
Authorship, Plagiarism, and Falsification of Data
Last month, Steven Wasserman, PhD, Assistant Dean for Research, and John Kattwinkel, MD, Professor of Pediatrics, and Chair of the Conflict of Interest and of the Research Ethics committees, presented the faculty development session, "Authorship, Plagiarism, and Fabrication of Data."
These are national problems and the School of Medicine has not been immune. The open-source nature of information on the Internet and the sophistication of graphics manipulation software have created new challenges for the researcher. Whether intentionally plagiarizing or not, the problem is real and places individual researchers, the School of Medicine, and the University of Virginia at risk. Drs. Wasserman and Kattwinkel offered a description of the problems associated with these areas and suggested best practices to avoid problems through proper project management (for authorship issues) and the development of data management and data manipulation policies at the investigator level (to avoid misconduct issues).
I urge you to familiarize yourself with the institutional policies on Research Misconduct (https://policy.itc.virginia.edu/policy/policydisplay?id=res-004), Laboratory Notebook and Recordkeeping (https://policy.itc.virginia.edu/policy/policydisplay?id=RES-002), and the School of Medicine authorship policy (www.medicine.virginia.edu/administration/office-of-the-dean/administration/school-policies/Authorship-of-Scholarly-Publications.pdf).
"Authorship, Plagiarism, and Falsification of Data" will be offered again later this year. I also wish to bring to your attention an upcoming companion session, "Disclosure, Conflict of Interest, Conflict of Commitment, and Ethical Partnerships with Industry," being offered by the Faculty Leadership Program on March 16. Information and registration can be found at www.medicine.virginia.edu/education/more/cme/events/FLP-page.
Eugene C. Corbett Jr., MD, Honored with Jane F. Desforges Distinguished Teacher Award
Eugene C. Corbett Jr., MD, Bernard B. and Anne L. Brodie Professor of Medicine, Professor of Nursing, Retiring Dean for Clinical Skills Education, Interim Clinical Director, Clinical Skills Center, was recently awarded the 2012 Jane F. Desforges Distinguished Teacher Award. Since 1968, this honor has been awarded annually by the American College of Physicians (ACP) and is bestowed upon one "who has demonstrated the ennobling qualities of a great teacher as judged by the acclaim and accomplishments of former students who have been inspired and have achieved positions of leadership in the field of medical education, primarily as teachers." Along with this award, Dr. Corbett also received a Mastership from ACP. Please join me in congratulating Dr. Corbett on this outstanding achievement.
Program Helps Faculty Successfully Compete for Grants
Last month, Angela Sherman, Research Administration Manager in the Office of Sponsored Programs, and Beverly Van Ausdal, Assistant Director for Grants, School of Medicine, presented "Finding and Applying for NIH 'F' and 'K' Series Career Development Awards" in Jordan Hall Conference Center Auditorium. This session, worth two continuing medical education credits and sponsored by the Faculty Leadership Program, attracted more than 100 faculty, graduate students and postdocs.
The goal of the session was to help inexperienced applicants sort through the often-confusing processes of finding appropriate funding opportunities, writing and assembling a grant application, and submitting it. Tips on grantsmanship and how to develop a focused idea and present it clearly were discussed. Resource materials, including annotated guides and links, were emailed to participants following the session.
The response was overwhelmingly positive and included suggestions for future topics. Based on participant feedback, new sessions are in the works to assist faculty in successfully competing for grant funding. For information on future sessions, contact Angela Sherman at firstname.lastname@example.com.
Preparing for the LCME Site Visit
The Liaison Committee on Medical Education (LCME) site visit will be in October 2014. The LCME is the accrediting authority for medical education programs leading to the MD degree in the United States and Canadian medical schools. While October 2014 may seem like a long time from now, it will require a full two years of intensive, elaborate preparation, requiring broad participation from the faculty in the School of Medicine.
In the next few weeks, we will be establishing committees and sub-committees to conduct the self-survey, and we will be calling on you to participate in these committees. I ask for your support in this critically important process. Thank you in advance.
Dean's New Faculty Seminar Series
Thank you to everyone who attended the first installment in the new year of the Dean's New Faculty Seminar series, "Genome stability in the germline and in somatic lineages," presented by Aaron R. Quinlan, PhD, Assistant Professor of Public Health Sciences. In addition to education, the seminars are an opportunity for presenters to introduce themselves (and their research programs) to other faculty and to make contacts with others in their field and around the School of Medicine and Grounds.All faculty, students, and staff are welcome to attend the seminars, which are held in Jordan Hall Auditorium. As a reminder, February's event will be on:
- Thursday, Feb. 16, 4 p.m.
- Presenter – James Stone, MD, PhD, Assistant Professor of Radiology
- Topic – Traumatic Brain Injury: Neuroimaging correlates of repetitive blast exposure in human military service members.
It is my hope that this merit-based series will speed the introduction of exciting new research ideas and accelerate collaborations and interactions among our new faculty and all of our established colleagues.
UVA Is Joining Forces With the White House and the AAMC
Last month, I attended the Joining Forces kick-off in Richmond at which First Lady Michelle Obama spoke. Joining Forces is the national initiative to give service members and their families the support they have earned. A central tenet of this initiative is wellness, and the White House has reached out to the Association of American Medical Colleges (AAMC) and the nation's medical schools to help heal our returning military and their families. The initiative will address everything from obvious, combat-related injuries, such as traumatic brain injury (TBI), to the more subtle psychological wounds of war, such as post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).
To assist in this initiative, Raymond Costabile, MD, Senior Associate Dean for Clinical Strategy, Jay Y. Gillenwater Professor of Urology, Colonel U.S. Army (retired), has been appointed our key contact. Jeffrey Barth, PhD, the John Edward Fowler Professor at UVA, will help integrate the effort with the Defense and Veterans Brain Injury Center (DVBIC), a Department of Defense-funded center at UVA, with other departments (such as Orthopedics, Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation, and Psychiatry) as well as other centers throughout Virginia.
The Next Generation Curriculum at the School of Medicine has incorporated a "thread" of cultural competency running through all four years of education that will now address specific aspects of the care of returning U.S. military combat veterans and their families. These now include more than 40 Learning Objectives integrated into the Pre-Clerkship Team-Based Learning. In addition, I have discussed coordinated efforts with the Richmond VA Traumatic Brain Injury Program.
By collaborating with the White House, the AAMC, and our colleagues across the country under the Joining Forces initiative, it is my hope that we will help heal, both mentally and physically, all of our returning service members and their families.
Medical Student Summer Research Program
The School of Medicine (SOM) Office for Research is soliciting
projects for the Medical Student Summer Research Program (MSSRP). The
program is restricted to rising second-year UVA medical students.
Research projects will run for seven weeks. The total stipend is
$2,800, though SOM can provide limited co-funding — up to $1,000 for
one student per preceptor — if preceptor need is documented; SOM pays
Summer Session fees for all participating students.
The large number of returning preceptors is a testimonial to the productivity of these students. A detailed program description can be found at www.medicine.virginia.edu/research/offices/research/for-students-and-postdocs/medical-student-research-programs-at-uva.html.
If you wish to participate in the program, please complete the 2012 Preceptor Form (see above link). Send the completed form to the Office for Research — email the Word version to Joyce Fortune at email@example.com and follow with a signed hard copy to McKim 3026. Students will contact you directly. Before a project is approved, student and preceptor must complete the student form with the preceptor's countersignature and overall funding must be established. Full support is available for several students whose research projects fall in areas supported by the National Heart Lung and Blood Institute (NHLBI) and the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID).
If you have any questions about the MSSRP, feel free to contact Dr. Steven Wasserman at firstname.lastname@example.com.
Basic Scientists and Clinicians Collaborate to Understand Prostate Cancer
Each month in Round Table I will be highlighting examples of how basic scientists and clinicians collaborate to advance medicine. This month, I wish to turn your attention to the efforts of faculty working on the recently re-funded Program Project Grant (P01), "Signaling and Progression in Prostate Cancer," and how they brought together a multi-disciplinary team to win a National Cancer Institute (NCI) grant to investigate the molecular changes occurring as prostate cancer progresses to the therapy-resistant state.
The principal investigators of the P01 are Bryce Paschal, PhD, Professor of Biochemistry and Molecular Genetics, and Dan Theodorescu, MD, PhD, Professor of Urology and Pharmacology and (now) Director of the University of Colorado Cancer Center. Joining Paschal and Theodorescu is Anindya Dutta, MD, PhD, Chair of the Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Genetics and Professor of Pathology.
Michael Weber, PhD, Professor of Microbiology and Cancer Center Director, had encouraged Dutta to apply his basic science approaches to prostate cancer. In the course of attending project meetings, he eventually developed a project working on microRNAs in prostate cancer. "[Drs.] Paschal and Theodorescu were also extremely helpful in getting me to think about the disease," says Dutta.
Paschal says, "Getting a P01 renewed is an extremely competitive process, so of course the selection of projects for the P01 renewal was itself very competitive. Dutta's project stood out as an approach that was highly meritorious scientifically and with strong translational potential."
Dutta also credits "the iterative cycles, where we changed many of
our specific aims, or developed new preliminary data, as the projects
were brought into closer relationship with each other." UVA and
external advisers also played an important role in developing the
The team meets monthly to discuss the latest data from the labs, including critique of the data and suggestions for improvement. "In the course of these discussions collaborative ideas emerge, ranging from a simple sharing of reagents to a new experimental design," says Dutta. "We come to this group with different expertise, so it is only through this collaboration that I can translate my basic research in microRNAs on cells in culture to models of prostate cancer in animals."
Paschal says, "One of the goals of the P01 is to develop new model systems that recapitulate key aspects of human prostate cancer." They recruited David Wotton, PhD, Associate Professor of Biochemistry and Molecular Genetics, for his expertise in transgenic mice. "Wotton's group has already developed a new mouse model that displays features of the most aggressive forms of prostate cancer," says Paschal. Wotton heads a core on animal models, with Daniel Gioeli, PhD, Associate Professor of Research of Microbiology, Immunology, and Cancer Biology, as co-director.
Henry Frierson Jr., MD, Professor of Pathology, heads a tissue analysis core, providing the perspective of human prostate cancer. He helps test hypotheses on prostate cancer biopsies. "As a pathologist who has literally examined thousands of cancers over several decades, Dr. Frierson is instrumental for helping us characterize our new model systems," says Paschal. Mark Conaway, PhD, Professor, Division of Translational Research and Applied Statistics, Department of Public Health Sciences, provides statistical expertise to interpret both animal and human cancer experiments.
The team not only spans basic science and clinical departments, but with Theodorescu's relocation to Colorado, it also spans time zones. Dutta says, "While this could have weakened our team, we converted this into a strength, by integrating new researchers in Denver into the P01 team. We now have access to a larger pool of prostate cancer patients and scientists with new expertise from Denver. The Denver group joins in on our monthly meetings by video conference."
Paschal adds, "We believe that multi-disciplinary science and team-based approaches will provide insight into the mechanisms that underpin the development of prostate cancer. Discovery-based science is essential for defining the key pathways and components that can then be exploited therapeutically." Clearly, the creativity and team-building efforts from various departments and disciplines have paid off, and represent a model for translational research at the School of Medicine.
UVA Health Plan Clarification
Last month I discussed the reduction in co-pays for those on the UVA Health Plan. To clarify, these reductions are for those employees who participate in the UVA Health Plan with Aetna. It does not apply to those who are in the UVA Health Plan with Southern Health.
Sean Jackson, Chief Technology Officer, Expands Role to UVA Physicians Group
Please join me in congratulating Sean Jackson, Chief Technology Officer, School of Medicine, as he expands the scope of his duties to include the UVA Physicians Group. Having Sean oversee the information technology departments for both UPG and the School of Medicine makes sense — as we move forward with our strategic direction, this streamlining will better align the two organizations and allow for greater economy and efficiency in our operations. Congratulations, Sean.

Plans to introduce plant-eating predators to fight a superweed spreading throughout Britain should not be seen as a 'magic bullet', says a world expert on Japanese knotweed at the University of Leicester.
Dr John Bailey of the Department of Biology has been researching the invasive weed since the 1980s. The research continues with PhD students Michelle Hollingsworth and Catherine Pashley. Research in the Leicester department established that the weed in Britain was a single clone- making it one of the biggest female organism in the world.
Dr Bailey has commented on plans announced this week to introduce a biocontrol to eradicate the weed that is plaguing Britain. The natural predator, a sap-sucking psyllid insect, is proposed to combat the weed. Plans have been submitted to the Government for approval.
University of Leicester scientists have previously liaised with the team behind the latest proposal including Dick Shaw, the lead researcher on the project, from Cabi, a not-for-profit agricultural research organisation.
Dr Bailey said: "Biological control is commonly used in the UK Glasshouse industry with a great deal of success. However, the use of predators invariably means that these die out when the prey levels get very low, and before the target is completely eliminated, so repeated applications are required.
"There is no doubt that in parts of the country Japanese Knotweed is still spreading along riversides and that in such areas it is extremely difficult to use herbicide even supposing the will and the funding were available! Japanese Knotweed may be a big bully of a plant in Europe, but in Japan it is just one component of a giant herb community, and what we in the West think of as its almost profligate vigour is only enough to keep it in the game, struggling as it does to find somewhere to grow and to avoid the effects of the numerous predators that it attracts.
"A Biological control age

At the heart of any great law school is its faculty. At Cardozo Law our world-class faculty members will know your name. The school offers its faculty and students an environment that nurtures growth, creativity, serious scholarship and real-world engagement.
The charged and robust intellectual atmosphere at the school promotes initiatives that help shape the legal landscape. The scholarship and ambition of our faculty, representing every major field of law, is evident throughout the school and motivates students in the classroom. Professors are quoted in the news frequently, and many have active blogs, contribute articles and op-ed pieces to major media outlets, and are actively sought for academic conferences nationally and internationally.
Faculty work with students on a wide range of academic events and conferences that bring to the school leaders in law, media, entertainment, finance and government to share their expertise and opinions with students.
In addition to the school's great faculty, Cardozo's robust intellectual life offers students opportunities to immerse themselves in the study of law.
Pre-eminent lawyers and legal practitioners are frequent guests, meeting with students and sharing their experiences. Supreme Court Justices Sonia Sotomayor, Antonin Scalia, John Paul Stevens, Stephen G. Breyer and Sandra Day O'Connor have been featured at Cardozo events in the past three years. Six law journals provide unique opportunities. Students who participate in Moot Court Honor Society compete in national and regional competitions, writing advocacy briefs and preparing for oral argument. And dozens of student organizations allow students to enhance their learning experiences

Jesus's Sisters
What were the names of Jesus Christ's Sisters? I cannot find them anywhere. -Pierre
According to official Eastern Orthodox Apostolic Tradition, Jesus had only one sister, who was named Salome, the myrrhbearer. She was also the mother of James and John, who were two of the 12 apostles of Jesus. You may be aware that Joseph was a widower between 60-80 years old (depending on the tradition) when he married the Virgin Mary, so his children were much older than Mary. Joseph also had two other sons- Jude, who was another of Jesus's 12 disciples, and James, who became the first bishop of Jerusalem. So Joseph had three children altogether by his first wife, but he had no children by the Virgin Mary. The Catholic church may follow another tradition that speaks of another sister of Jesus, but I'm not aware of the details. -Gaius

(ADCI), a monthly quantitative index that measures how we, as a nation, are doing in terms of our American Dream. Every month, in addition to collecting our standard specific Index data, the ADCI probes further, with several follow-up snapshot questions to add to the Center's ongoing research. These Eye-Opener Results provide a unique look at a particular current aspect of the American Dream.
- The Center has built and administers the only permanent video registration of American Dreams, through which Xavier students document American Dream stories, archiving them for posterity at the Center.
- The Center conducts an annual State of the American Dream Survey? to gauge what the American Dream is and to whom.
- The Center focuses deliberate attention on the next generation of American Dreamers, providing opportunities to hear their voices through our Young American Dreamers? programs.
