If you need to put more stuff in your classpath when Surefire executes (e.g some funky resources or a container special jar), we normally recommend you add it to your classpath as a dependency. Consider deploying shared jars to a private remote repository for your organization.
But, if you must, you can use the additionalClasspathElements element to add custom resources/jars to your classpath. This will be treated as an absolute file system path, so you may want use $basedir or another property combined with a relative path. Note that additional classpath elements are added to the end of the classpath, so you cannot use these to override project dependencies or resources.

USPTO Grants Santaris' Request for Inter-Partes Reexamination of Patent licensed to Regulus
Jan 07, 2013, 08:00 ET
HOERSHOLM, Denmark and SAN DIEGO, Jan. 7, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Santaris Pharma A/S, a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company focused on the discovery and development of RNA-targeted therapies, today announced that the USPTO has issued an Order granting their request for inter-partes re-examination of US patent 7,838,504 (the '504 patent), in the name of The Board of Trustees of the Leland Stanford Junior University, and licensed to Regulus Therapeutics Inc.
(Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20100111/SPLOGO)
The Order indicates that Santaris's request "establishes a reasonable likelihood that Santaris will prevail" with respect to the claims under re-examination. In conjunction with the Order, the USPTO also issued an Office Action rejecting the re-examined claims.
The '504 patent refers to a method of reducing viral genome amount in a cell infected with Hepatitis C with an antisense oligonucleotide complementary to miR-122, and at least one additional agent selected from the group consisting of an antiviral agent and an interferon.
Henrik Stage, CEO of Santaris Pharma A/S stated: "We are very pleased that the USPTO has ordered inter-partes re-examination of the '504 patent. Appropriately reducing the scope of the patent in the U.S., is part of our worldwide strategy that currently includes opposition proceedings in Europe and Australia as well."

Red Dawn (2012) (US - BD RA)
Gabe thinks this remake would've been better left in post-production hell...
The unsuspecting citizens of Spokane, Washington, wake up one morning to the shocking sight of foreign paratroopers dropping from the sky in a surprise attack on the United States. Soon, the entire city is under enemy control, but a group of courageous teenagers has decided to fight back, waging an all-out war against the invaders, to take back their town – and their freedom! (From MGM's official synopsis)
Red Dawn has served zero purpose since the early days of its pre-production, a problem that was only aggravated by its melodramatic post-production troubles. Red Dawn is a remake of a film that was entirely ingrained in the culture and politics of the 1980s. The concept that runs John Milius' jingoistic, right-wing wet dream original – that of a Soviet superpower invading the United States – has practically zero parallel in this post-Cold War film. Already, screenwriters Carl Ellsworth and Jeremy Passmore are fighting an uphill battle. They probably should've just given up here, but no; just like the plucky heroes of the film they're emulating, they pressed on. Bereft of modern political analogues and apparently aware that no one would watch an '80s-set remake when Milius' film was readily available on home video, the screenwriters took a vaguely offensive route and chose an American ally as their replacement villain, apparently unconcerned that no major studio would ever risk political suicide by releasing a movie where China invades Spokane, Washington (the fact that they chose Spokane as the spot China chooses to invade is another issue altogether). Shockingly, however, this Evil China movie was actually made – on a decent budget and through a major studio.
Sadly for the people that were actually clamoring for a remake of a movie that is conceptually irrelevant in the modern world, said major studio, MGM, fell into financial ruin, filed Chapter 11, and were unable to release Red Dawn and Drew Goddard's Cabin in the Woods ( Skyfall was also delayed). While the finished film sat on the shelf, the controversy surrounding its bad politics gained steam and the studio heads decided to spend a bunch of cash changing the villains from Chinese to North Korean, because no one in the world outside of North Korea really cares what North Korea thinks. Oh, and because Chinese people supposedly look just like North Koreans (the racist implications here are a term paper all their own). In turn, this choice created a whole new problem – the real world threat of North Korea invading US soil is about as likely as the real world threat of an army of kiwi birds invading US soil via the Beringia land bridge. Using the neutral evil of North Korea robs the film of even a smidgen of credibility (alongside, the fact that they invade freaking Spokane…). In the end no one really seems to have liked the decision.
But movies tortured by post-production/pre-release noodling almost always garner interest from film fans that often paint them as martyrs of the studio system. As the behind-the-scenes news unraveled, there was a feeling that MGM's financial problems had robbed audiences of two possibly great films – Red Dawn and Cabin in the Woods. Sadly, the vast majority of movies that were buried or vastly re-edited by a meddling studio end up being nominal interesting at best and soul-crushing disappointments at worst*. Cabin in the Woods was, for the most part, an exception to the rule ( mostly alongside other horror films and a handful of comedies), while Red Dawn ended up being just as stupid as we feared it would be. Now then, having established that Red Dawn is a brain-meltingly wrongheaded and stupid film on every thematic, conceptual, and narrative level, I have probably also established that none of this surprises me. So what was I hoping to get out of this experience? Well, idiotic doesn't necessarily equal unentertaining when it comes to B-plus-level action films. Despite the story problems, there was no reason to think Red Dawn wouldn't work in the same way any number of dopey STV Dolph Lundgren movies do. My mistake.
Director Dan Bradley can shoot a good action scene and with good reason – he has spent the vast majority of his career as a stunt coordinator and second unit director on a long series of action films, including Raimi's Spider-Man films and the Bourne movies. The only other celebrated second unit action directors I can recall that also dabbled in first unit direction include the late David R. Ellis, who peaked with only his second film as lead director ( Final Destination 2), and John Glen, who made some of the worst James Bond films. For whatever reason, these similar skill-sets don't seem to overlap enough to create good movies. Bradley struggles through Ellworth and Passworth's sub-Disney Channel teen dialogue and character development, but gets to the frenetic action quickly enough most viewers probably won't turn it off in disgust. His control of action, aside from an overuse of shaky-cam that he learned working with Greengrass, is strong enough to briefly suspend disbelieve as asinine event after asinine event unravels. Though, seriously, almost none of what is happening makes any level of acceptable sense and there's nothing at stake besides a bunch of kids we're given little reason to care about. Bradley's dependence on Greengrass-isms is a continuing problem for the non-action scenes (the camera really doesn't need to shake that much during a conversation) and even his quick-clip editing doesn't keep the eventless sections of the script from dragging the film down.
The cast is most likely the thing that ended up getting Red Dawn in theaters. When it was shot back in 2009, Chris Hemsworth hadn't appeared in Thor or The Avengers and Josh Hutcherson hadn't appeared in The Hunger Games (coincidentally, Hemsworth also starred in Cabin in the Woods). These two superstars-in-the-making are joined by a motley crew of recognizable and unnaturally pretty actors/actress in their late teens/early twenties and grizzled character actor veterans, including the always dependable Jeffrey Dean Morgan (who doesn't even show up for a little over an hour). The unnaturally pretty young'ins stand no chance against the lame dialogue and lack of character aspects, but make decent ciphers for the script's outdated sense of patriotism and moral black & whiteness. So long as they are discussing tactics or fighting inept military types and not arguing about their feelings, the pretend teen actors are entirely tolerable.
Bradley and cinematographer Mitchell Amundsen shot Red Dawn on 35mm film, then, apparently displeased with the look of film, processed the hell out of the colour to make it look more digital. This 1080p, 1.85:1 transfer has no major issues to report it just looks a little weird at times based on Bradley and Amundsen's photographic choices. The 35mm stock can be seen in a sheen of fine grain and minor inconsistencies in the heavier black levels, which are purposefully crushed as part of the high contrast look. Details are plenty sharp, though the documentary-style camera work isn't the best arena for the finest textures and lines – the focus is too rough to capture every little embellishment. The biggest wide shots, assuming the camera is holding still, do feature some impressive, deep-set elements, but often overall darkness encompasses the more delicate highlights. Edge enhancement is not a problem, however, and neither are obvious blocking effects. The palette is very teal and the hue takes the place of most greys, greens, and blues. The warmer, contrasting hues are more yellow, almost mustardy, turning a bit more orange during the nighttime scenes. Despite the largely homogenous look, there are nice, subtle variations that blend into one another very smoothly. The red of the digitally composited North Korean flags and various brick buildings is the key and constant poppy element with just about every other colour falling into either the teal or mustard category. Seems unlikely from a film with the word 'red' in the title, right?
This DTS-HD Master Audio 5.1 soundtrack is one of the few things that even people who hate the movie can probably get behind. The minute North Korea starts invading, the whole system springs to life with fiery explosions, squealing car tires, revving car engines, flying bullets, and airplanes zipping through every channel. The aggressive sound doesn't overwhelm the track and there's still plenty of dynamic range between the bursts of noise. Elsewhere, the mix makes good use of squeaking Humvees and overhead helicopter blades announce the impending doom of the 'unstoppable' army. The strong sense of dynamic impact is also heard in any of the 'guerrilla tactic' sequences, where the quick punch of gunfire cuts through relative silence. Composer Ramin Djawadi's score is also very well represented on the track, including some rich, widely separated strings, bombastic brass, and heavy, punchy drums that give the LFE further cause to vibrate. The softer music often sits in place of ambience, but the rear and stereo channels rarely fall entirely silent and even feature some decent directional enhancements.
There are a few Fox trailers here, but, otherwise, this is about as naked as a Blu-ray can come. It's as if the behind-the-scenes story was embarrassing or something.
Red Dawn has an interesting, almost entirely unexplored subtext. Hemsworth's character gives a couple speeches comparing the Wolverines' tactics to the Vietcong and the Mujahideen, but no one really compares the North Korean occupation to the various American military occupations of countries. The possibility is there and the original film made use of the Vietnam metaphor, but clearly none of the people involved in this goofy, shallow, and surprisingly boring movie were interested in something like moral or political ambiguity. Too bad. This Blu-ray release looks pretty good and sounds fantastic, but features absolutely nothing in terms of extra material, which is a waste, because the production history is much more interesting than the film itself.
* Note: I am including films that were censored due to MPAA objections or similarities to current events (films altered following 9/11, for example) as a separate category here. The vast majority of uncut versions of previously censored films are almost always preferable.

One funny aspect of the "Red Dawn" remake is how some Korean actors (especially Will Yun Lee) were hired to play the villains before MGM/FilmDistrict decided to change the nationality from Chinese to North Korean.
It is, as you said, a term paper all on its own.

- 11-14 inches
2-~4 pounds
I have a little bit of scoliosis . . . so not too heavy a system, but not too light that I hate the thing anyway.
I may want to do some light gaming on it (anything from about 2007 or before shouldn't be much of a issue, should it?)
Less than $550 if possible (I'm sure it isn't considering the SSD)
Good keyboard, no Chiclet sort of keys (?) - I somewhat hate and slower on typing on flatter keys.
I do NOT want an optical drive
What else should I consider?
Anyone of experience with the Acer Aspire S5-391-6836 it seems like a nice ultrabook, seems to have a good processor (i5). For the price it seems like it should come with at lest some bit of hard drive space (not only a SSD) or more RAM. It's light enough, good enough processor, decent GPU, if it's still purchasable in a few weeks/months I may try to get this.
E-book reader
- Large enough storage (4+ Gigs I'd think)
Reasonable screen size (5+ inches?)
Reasonable battery life
What else should I consider?
I hope to use it for school textbooks so I don't have to lug those around, and at night before I go to sleep I can read some.

Requirements for the Degrees
To qualify for a Master of Divinity or Master of Arts degree at Westminster Seminary California, a student must fulfill and successfully complete all requirements and receive a cumulative grade point average of 2.00 or higher at the completion of required course work.
Application for Graduation
Any student planning to graduate must complete an Application for Graduation and return it to the Registrar's Office by the date listed on the application.
Commencement exercises are held once each academic year at the end of the spring semester. All students who are eligible to receive degrees are expected to participate in the commencement ceremony. If requirements for the degree were completed by the end of the fall semester or winter term, a student who is unable to be present at the ceremony may petition the faculty for permission to receive the degree in absentia by giving the reason for his or her inability to attend the commencement ceremony.
Prospective graduates must pay all debts to the Seminary, including the library, no later than the last day of classes of the spring semester in order to participate in the commencement exercises. Neither a diploma nor a final transcript will be released until a student's financial obligations to the Seminary are met in full.
The Graduation Fee will be billed to the student prior to graduation and is typically processed with the Graduation Application. If the Enrollment Deposit remains on the account, these funds will be used to pay the Graduation Fee in full.
Graduates are expected to attend a graduation reception held in connection with the commencement exercises, normally on the evening preceding the ceremony. This reception provides an opportunity for fellowship with faculty and fellow graduates and for corporate reflection on the seminary experience.

SPeedPLAY ZeROS HELP!!!!
Postby HoldYaLine » Sun Dec 23, 2012 9:48 pm
Right now, it just isnt a viable option for me to strain and push and get frustrated every time the light goes green. The people i ride with all told me to get shoes, they said id be "Flying" and that i have real potential, they didnt know how i was keeping up.
The beneefits they spoke about riding clipless pedals, are ones that i really want to benefit from you know?
But right now, unless there is a miracle, i can't ride these safely and at a reasonable pace on the road.
I dream of getting to the stage, when, as advertised, i can literally place my foot on the pedal, and basically push a little, and be attached to my dream bike. It looks so easy, i see the guys with the speedplays in my bunch????.
I hope it will become this easy for me, any responses welcome,

You have to find out the right angle to clip your foot in. Actually, positioning the cleats on your shoes in the right position will help a lot in making that feel natural.
With my pedals, your cleat has to be in the right position and I have to push down and forward to "slip" it in rather than push it in by brute force.
Go have a play outside, after 5-10 rides it'll be second nature
It's counter intuitive, but it's a hell of a lot easier clipping in when you're actually taking off due to the extra pressure and momentum you're putting on your pedals.

When I first got mine I had the same problem.
What I found was that you don't overtighten the screws holding the last part of the cleat to your shoe.
Also when clipping in it seems to be more of a straight down stomping motion instead of a sliding clip in. Also a bit of lube on the cleats might help.
Sent from my thingimy chig using that other thing:-)

Also get some protector plates linked below on your next set of cleats or when u lube your current ones. It doesnt matter if u use a 3 hole adapter, it will make that adapter last a lot longer, when the adapter wears it allows for side to side tilt motion which is not good for the knees/ITB muscle!!!!.

Also as stated a small amount of chain lube on the C clip surfaces when you are installing the cleats will help as well.

welcome to Opinion Journal why Mary Kissel ... today is the fortieth anniversary of Roe versus Wade in most media reports you'll hear ... will fall to somehow divided our nation is on the issue of abortion rights but didn't grow its self ... create this way it's best to the Web columnist James Taranto has been falling this issue for very long time ... he joins me now to explain ... James what this issue he is controversial today if it weren't for the right decision ... no I mean look the fact that were talking about the fortieth anniversary of this decision Qaeda says it all right when do we ever talk about anniversaries of other court decisions ... you know when the anniversary of Brown vs Board of Education was I don't and ... that was perhaps most important US Supreme Court is the twentieth century ... but what happened was the court decided ... that it was going to resolve this issue once and for all ... and instead what he did was it opened up the side this divide that has persisted ever since the whole rise the political parties and that really made a mess of our polity the stock about the device what about Roe was so controversial did it create great support in the Constitution ... yes I doubt this goes back to a case called Griswold vs Connecticut in eighteen sixty five in which the court found looking at the number isn't imitations of the ... height of the Constitution ... that I'm that married couples have a constitutional right to obtain contraceptives ... now that they found this in the Arctic particular nature of the marital union ... I've that the marital union Intel the right to privacy while this was nineteen sixty five seven years later and they found that ... that right also applied single people ... an e year after that to abortion with ... no reference to the regional arm tied ... to the marital union out of which the right to privacy suppose leads of the ... so-called was kind of made the opposite what a lot of ... our Constitution allies in the sexual revolution okay so it makes separates the town exists ... but is there also is also part of the stands that we didn't agree on is a society ... we lead debate this in any serious way at the state level because that unelected court decide what it was a debate going on in nineteen seventy three when the court cited as five states had pretty much be criminalized abortion ... and that was the direction which was moving ... out what Roe vs Wade did was admitted in all or nothing about love Absolute so people more for abortion ... I'd you know take these crazy positions Brock Obama when he was a member of the Illinois state legislature actually voted against it infanticide lot ... because he was afraid it might be ... too much of an imposition on abortion ... and people are against abortion to take these all or nothing positions because ... they're not to be enacted anyway I was row versus Wade is overturned so what's the about says Wall Street Journal and Siemens publicly announce that the first time the majority of Americans think abortion should be legal always ... or most of the time ... here is the poll on the screen that says seventy percent now say Roe versus Wade should be overturned have you interpret that well the seventy percent tells you alot because well it's true the majority of people said it should be in a legal all was really go most of the time ... bought well over forty percent said it should either be ... always to legal or illegal with certain exceptions both of which positions are our foreclosed by Roe versus Wade ... so the fact that seventy percent of people say they support Roe versus Wade ... insists on a large percentage of people don't know what Roe versus Wade actually sat at Butler Rovers weight is given the law the letter to the Supreme Court ... pretty much totally rewrote it reaching ... much the same conclusion ... it is called Reppert vs K Z which by the way is now more than twenty years old all older than Rovers is when was the time or not celebrating the anniversary of what would happen if Roe were overturned ... I've that question would go back to the States some states would outlaw abortion other states would not most states probably wouldn't ... probably be more restricted but we would have earned an honest debate and a compromise that would be politically much healthier than the sort of all or nothing imaginary debate that we have been any prospect of that happening ... he contends not side not unless justice Kennedy has change of heart or are we have a Republican president which I we obviously are great outlet

In an unusually heavy day at the Alachua County Criminal Courthouse, four men were indicted on murder charges in four separate cases on Thursday.
In an unusually heavy day at the Alachua County Criminal Courthouse, four men were indicted on murder charges in four separate cases on Thursday.
The Alachua County Grand Jury indicted Darren L. Bing, 38, for the murder of William Henry Redd, 44; Brandon Scott, 22, for the murder of Timothy Robinson; Darryl Scott, 40, for the murder of his adoptive mother, Roxie E. Scott-Kotb, 63; and Jonathan Rashad Peterson, 26, for the murder of Eugene Shelton, 26.
State Attorney Bill Cervone said the number of cases the jury saw was a rare event.
"I cannot remember the last time a grand jury dealt with four cases in one day," Cervone said. "It's very unusual to have to deal with so much at one time."
Cervone said he'll only seek the death penalty in the Redd shooting.
"We're considering death in the Darren Bing case," Cervone said, "because it appears to be a killing for hire."
Police allege Bing shot Redd on Dec. 3 on the lawn of Redd's home at 2010 NE 192nd Ave. Witnesses say they saw a black, four-door sedan speeding away from the area after the shooting.
Redd was transported to Shands at the University of Florida following the incident, where he died.
Bing was arrested several weeks later.
According to records from the Florida Department of Corrections, Bing has been sentenced to prison eight times in Marion and Pinellas counties since 1992.
Bing was indicted for first-degree murder, conspiracy to commit first-degree murder, possession of a firearm by a convicted felon, retaliating with a witness and tampering with evidence.
Darryl Scott was arrested about a week after his mother, Scott-Kotb, was found dead in her apartment on Jan. 13. Police believe he killed her with blows to the head, stole her car and traded the car for crack cocaine.
Family members told police that Darryl Scott had been having financial trouble and was pilfering money from his mother.
He was living with her after a 12-year stint in prison for attempted murder.
Cervone said Scott was indicted for first-degree murder, two counts of grand theft auto and petty theft of property.
Peterson, 26, allegedly shot Shelton in August. Shelton, a Santa Fe College student, was shot in the chest around 8:30 p.m. between buildings 12 and 13 at Rocky Point Apartments, 3100 SW 35th Place, after police say he went to the complex as part of an apparent drug deal.
Adrick Williams, 28, of Gainesville was arrested on a charge of accessory to murder in the killing.
Peterson told Williams he killed Shelton, according to reports, and showed him marijuana he took from Shelton after he fled from the scene.
Williams reportedly said he called his cellphone carrier and changed his number in an unsuccessful attempt to keep police from linking him to the homicide. Police arrested Williams, who said Peterson was his "homeboy," or close friend.
Williams identified Peterson as the shooter in a photo lineup, and he told police he saw Peterson with a firearm the day before the shooting.
Peterson was indicted for both first-degree murder and felony third-degree murder, and Cervone said the jury will decide which is more appropriate. He was also indicted for possession of a firearm by a felon. Williams was indicted on the accessory charge.
Brandon Scott is accused of killing Robinson on Jan. 13 during an argument at Robinson's home at 9816 SW 162nd Terrace in Archer.
Scott grabbed a rifle and began shooting Robinson and two others — Wesley Boykin and Aja Newton, according to the Alachua County Sheriff's Office. Robinson ran from the home after being shot and was found dead about 200 yards from the home.
Boykin and Newton were also struck by gunfire and transported to Shands. Boykin was struck in the abdomen area and Newton was struck in the abdomen and in the arm.
According to Cervone, Newton is still alive but her long-term prognosis is unclear.
Scott was indicted for first-degree murder, Cervone said, and two charges of attempted first-degree murder.

Voting online until Oct. 31 at house.mo.gov/FamousMissourianVoting
As part of the fallout from last year's controversial selection of Rush Limbaugh to the Hall of Famous Missourians, this year's selection process will be handled in a more democratic nature with the public able to vote on the next honorees.
One of the finalists named Monday: Dr. Andrew Taylor Still.
Still, the founder of osteopathic medicine and what is now A.T. Still University, is one of 10 finalists up for vote at www.house.mo.gov/FamousMissourianVoting.
Voting began Monday and runs through Oct. 31, with the public selecting two new honorees for the Hall of Famous Missourians.
In prior years, the Missouri Speaker of the House alone made the selection, but last year's choice of Limbaugh drew criticism both statewide and nationally.
The Speaker will still choose a new member for the Hall, but that selection will be in addition to two public choices.
According to the Associated Press, finalists were selected largely upon public nominations received over the summer. Still received the second-most nominations, according to the report.
Still has a chance to join other famous Missourians in the Hall, including President Harry Truman, Walt Disney, Walter Cronkite and Betty Grable.
Still was born in Virginia in 1828 and moved to Kirksville in 1875 after several failed attempts to gain acceptance for him and his medical theories in other communities. He founded The American School of Osteopathy in 1892 in Kirksville, and according to the American Osteopathic Association there are more than 70,000 doctors of osteopathic medicine practicing in the United States today.
"Andrew Taylor Still was a visionary that changed the course of health care by looking for a better way to provide care for patients," said Dr. Margaret Wilson, dean of the Kirksville College of Osteopathic Medicine dean. "He looked beyond the traditional offerings of his day to see how patients could be seen in the context of their whole care using structure and function as a foundational philosophy. His forward thinking led to the founding of a new profession that is thriving today not just in the U.S. but around the world.
"This remarkable man started the osteopathic profession in Missouri and deserves to be included in the Hall of Famous Missourians. Please go online today and vote for Dr. Andrew Taylor Still."
In addition to Still, the nominees include:
- Claude Smith, of Monroe City, Mo., a composer whose composition "Flight" is the official march of the National Air and Space Museum of the Smithsonian Institute.
- Christopher "Kit" Bond, of Mexico, Mo., a U.S. Senator from Missouri and two-term governor.
- William Payne Stewart, of Springfield, Mo., a professional golfer who won three major championships.
- Sue Shear, a 26-year member of the Missouri House of Representatives.
- Rose O'Neill, a self-trained artist who created Kewpie and was an instrumental woman in the suffrage movement.
- Virginia Minor, who launched the suffrage movement in Missouri in the 1860s.
- John Henderson, a U.S. Senator from Missouri and co-author of the 13th Amendment.
- Robert Heinlein, of Butler, Mo., a leading science fiction writer whose works includes the "Future History" series, "Starship Troopers" and "Stranger in a Strange Land."
- John William "Blind" Boone, of Miami, Mo., a respected musician. He was the son of a former slave and overcame blindness, poverty and discrimination to become a composer and concert pianist.

Release Date: February 25, 2014
BUFFALO, N.Y. – The surgery and pediatric surgery residency programs at the University at Buffalo have been granted full accreditation by the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education (ACGME). University officials were informed of the decision late yesterday.
"This is the best possible outcome," said Michael E. Cain, MD, UB vice president for health sciences and dean of the School of Medicine and Biomedical Sciences. "It is a reflection of the strong partnerships we have with our affiliate hospitals and the community at large through which we will provide the best medical education and patient care as we anticipate our move to the Buffalo Niagara Medical Campus.
"This very welcome decision on both the surgery and pediatric surgery residency programs at UB completely validates the changes implemented by the programs in order to address issues raised by the ACGME," he said.
The ACGME decision, reached at a meeting of its Residency Review Committee last week, was based on extensive data the university submitted that chronicled changes implemented in the surgery and pediatric surgery residency programs as well as assessments from an ACGME site visit that took place last October.
"The continued accreditation with the next self-study in 2024 for both programs is a vote of confidence from the ACGME and recognizes the efforts of the general surgery and pediatric surgery leadership, faculty, staff and residents," said Roseanne C. Berger, MD, senior associate dean for graduate medical education at UB.
In 2011, the surgery and pediatric surgery residency programs had received probationary accreditation as a result of issues related to the culture and learning environment for residents.
"The issues that led to the probationary status were not related to the quality of the end product — our graduating residents -- it was how we got to that end product," said Gregory Cherr, MD, associate professor and general surgery residency program director. "Many of those issues were addressed by allowing residents more opportunity to participate in the oversight of their educational program. That's a good thing: they now feel more empowered and they have influence over how they are being trained."
UB's residents in surgery and pediatric surgery have consistently scored higher than the national average on board exams and surgery residents consistently obtain fellowships at prestigious institutions around the country, he said.
Cherr, who was appointed director of the residency program in 2012, is an accomplished vascular surgeon. A graduate of Tufts School of Medicine, he was one of just six medical educators nationwide to be honored in 2011 with an Arnold P. Gold Foundation scholarship to attend the prestigious Harvard Macy Institute at Harvard University. As a result, Cherr has developed innovative, interdisciplinary leadership and teamwork simulation scenarios for enhancing surgical training through collaboration with UB's Behling Simulation Center. He also is on the faculty of the UB/Royal College of Physicians Medical Educator Program.
Early last month, Carroll McWilliams (Mac) Harmon, MD, PhD, an internationally recognized leader and researcher in minimally invasive surgery and the treatment of adolescent obesity, became professor and chief of pediatric surgery in UB's Department of Surgery. Harmon also is pediatric surgeon-in-chief at Women & Children's Hospital of Buffalo, a Kaleida Health facility. He came to UB from the University of Alabama at Birmingham (UAB) School of Medicine where he was professor and director of pediatric surgical research. He also was general surgery clinic director at Children's of Alabama and surgical director of the Children's Center for Weight Management and the Georgeson Center for Advanced Intestinal Rehabilitation.
Changes that were undertaken by the surgery residency program since 2011 include:
Cain emphasized that UB's 60 residency programs are among many components in the school that are being transformed by new leadership at UB and new chairs in the medical school. Since Cain's arrival in late 2006, the UB medical school has appointed 11 new department chairs. Two additional department chair searches are now underway.
UB's reconfigured dermatology residency program also was accredited, effective as of July 2013. Dermatology residents will begin training in July.

Pedro's Vintage Goodness Room
Name: Pedro (3)
Location: Cascais, Portugal
We are a bit nostalgic and love children's rooms with a vintage look, bright, colorful but not too "themey" and we wanted this space to reflect Pedro's character and heritage. Basically a room that would make our small Peter Pan dream, play and create his own magical world.
My husband and I both love traveling— we've lived abroad in China, France, Italy and Brazil for several years and we started collecting vintage toys, children's books and posters long before we decided to have a baby. The items were really for us…but Pedro has already inherited lots of vintage goods found all over the world and from our childhood.
In a fast-paced world full of computer games and digital toys we hope that Pedro gives life to and lives new adventures with our books and toys. And it's not just a question of vintage being charming or trendy, it is much more than that. It is also a question of being sustainable, simple and creative: the values that we want to pass on to our boy.
Source List:
Wooden Chair and Table: Traditional Portuguese Crafts
Bookcase and chalkboard: Ikea
Bed: designed by Pedro's father and made by a local artisan
Toys and books: some are family toys and other items were found in flea markets, eBay and new toys by Le Toy Van, Radio Flyer, Janod,Lego, Brio
Art in Frames: old books and postcards from 1910 until 1960's
Thanks, Pedro and family! Readers, you can visit Pedro's mom at Índios e Cowboys.

LOS ANGELES, May 9 (UPI) -- A new recording of disgraced L.A. Clippers owner Donald Sterling has leaked with Sterling defending himself and saying he is not a racist.
The u person on the other end of the phone call that was leaked on Radar Online was unidentified, but Sterling's voice has been confirmed by ABC News.
"You think I'm a racist? You think I have anything in the world but love for everybody? You don't think that! You know I'm not a racist!" yelled Sterling. "It breaks my heart that Magic Johnson, a guy that I respect so much, wouldn't stand up and say, 'Well let's get the facts. Let's get him and talk to him.' Nobody tried. Nobody!"
He defended himself by describing his own religious background background and growing up in east L.A.
"I was the president of the high school there [in east L.A.]! And I'm a Jew! And 50 percent of the people there were black and 40 percent were Hispanic," said Sterling
Sterling continues to present the logic that no one in the business of the NBA could be racist. His "proof" is that his team isn't made up of all white players.
"How can you be in this business and be a racist? Do you think I tell the coach to get white players? Or to get the best player he can get?" posited Sterling.
The NBA has said that it will take every measure possible to force Donald Sterling to sell the team after his remarks earned him a lifetime ban and a $2.5 million fine. Sterling and his wife Shelley are not willing to let go without a fight. Although Sterling is convinced the NBA can't make him get rid of his team in the first place.
Sterling, a lawyer, finished the call shouting, "You can't force someone to sell property in America!"

During October 2005 the library conducted a survey to assess faculty and student usage of library resources and services. We also inquired whether faculty and students had encountered any difficulties using the library and we welcomed their comments and suggestions for improvement.
A total of 1,481 surveys were returned. Results of each survey are provided in the faculty and students survey reports, followed by an overview of issues most mentioned, along with library initiatives in response to the survey results and frequently asked technical questions.
These results portray NJCU faculty and students as engaged and responsive users of library resources and services who understand that not all resources are available online. Many survey respondents affirmed the value of the physical library and thanked us for maintaining the library as a place for study and rest.
The results of this survey will help us to construct more targeted surveys in the future and allow us to continue a dialogue with faculty and students about their research and information needs.
The survey was distributed during October 2005 at several locations. Student workers were stationed in the library lobby and encouraged everyone entering the library to fill out a survey. Each print survey included the URL to the online survey, for those who preferred to fill out the online version. Print surveys were also distributed in the cafeteria, in computer labs, during instructional session in the library classroom, at the shuttles to the parking lots, and both outside and within the library.
In addition, notices about the survey were sent to the faculty, staff and student listservs. Notices included a link to the online version of the survey. In addition to this, each faculty member received a print version of the survey via campus mail. The survey was also advertised in the NJCU student newspaper.

Barnard Island Group National Park
The islands feature outstanding rock formations and diverse landforms including shallow reefs, sand spits, beaches and dense rainforest-clad slopes. The rainforested slopes of the Barnard Islands rise steeply from the sea, part of the Great Barrier Reef World Heritage Area. Mangroves fringe parts of the islands and coastal plants border the shores. The South Barnard islands (Sister and Stephens islands) are an important breeding site for seabirds. 23 species of woodland birds have also been recorded on and around the Barnard islands.
Camp on Stephens or Kent islands. Drop a line and catch a fish for dinner. Snorkel on the extensive reefs connecting Sisters and Stephens islands in the South Barnard islands and on the fringing reefs surrounding the North Barnard islands. Wander along the beaches and spend fascinating hours watching birds. Access is restricted to Sisters and Stephens islands from 1 September to 31 March each year to protect nesting sea birds. Remember to be croc wise.
