MSU may expand other med program

One MSU faculty member expressed concern that university officials are spreading resources too thin in terms of expanding medical colleges throughout the state. As administrators seal the deal with the College of Human Medicine's expansion into Grand Rapids, their attention now is focused on creating a "satellite campus" for the College of Osteopathic Medicine in eastern Michigan.

League rewards celeb critique

By Jane Ridley McClatchy Newspapers New York — Sienna Miller gets 15 points for tamed eyebrows, 30 points for braided hair, 15 points for shimmery eyes and 15 points for velvety matte lips. America Ferrera gets 75 points for her oversized diamond ring. When Meryl Streep swept into the Golden Globes wearing chandelier-style earrings and her hair in a bun with bangs, who would have thought it was the equivalent to Peyton Manning throwing a 60-yard touchdown pass? Amy Dunman, a devotee of the Fantasy Fashion League Beauty Edition, a new offshoot of the Fantasy Fashion League modeled after fantasy football, certainly did — Streep racked up 545 points that night.
