A new research center for preventing bioterrorism and the spread of infectious diseases will open at MSU with the aid of a $10 million federal grant. The Center for Advancing Microbial Risk Assessment, or CAMRA, will be housed on campus and will coordinate the work of scientists at seven universities.

As an alumnus of State, I try to catch as many football games as I can. It tends to be a bit hard in Brooklyn, since they only end up on the tube when they're playing a team ABC deems worthy of airing. Sadly, the two times this year I've been able to see my Spartans play ball have been heart wrenching losses that easily could have been victories.
Two federal agencies have given a $10 million grant to a group of researchers working to prevent bioterrorism and the spread of infectious diseases.

By Gabrielle Russon Special to The State News AIDS has become a pressing issue in the Hispanic community as the Center for Disease Control reported that members of the ethnic group comprised 19 percent of all AIDS cases in the United States in 2003, while making up only 14 percent of the population. On Saturday, a small group of Lansing-area residents marched a mile down Michigan Avenue toward the Capitol as part of the third annual Hope March to raise awareness about the seriousness of AIDS in the Hispanic community. The walk, which was organized by the Lansing Area AIDS Network, or LAAN, was intended to focus on the issues and prevention of AIDS among the Hispanic community, said Patrick Lombardi, director of development for LAAN. Thirty-one percent of all Hispanics said the AIDS virus was the second most urgent health issue in the country and reported the disease was a more pressing issue than obesity, according to a 2003 survey by Kaiser Family Foundation. The effects of the virus are visible on a local level in the Lansing community, Lombardi said. LAAN works with about 700 people inflicted with AIDS in 14 counties across the Mid-Michigan area.

"North Country" could make a lumberjack without tear ducts cry. It could quite possibly compel a straight-faced poker player to giggle and provoke a hardened criminal to clap his hands. The film is solid across the board — plot, dialogue, cinematography, soundtrack, acting and direction.
