Correction: The phrase "sticking a pipe" should have been "placing a self-expanding metallic stent." For clarification, there are more schools that teach the procedure than MSU, and the special funds do not apply to intervention radiology. Name: Matthew Beal, assistant professor Department: Small Animal Clinical Sciences Date of method: Beal has been working with the new procedure for about a year. Type of method: Interventional radiology Basics of method: "It allows us to treat animals in a less invasive way," Beal said. The methodology allows veterinarians to perform procedures on animals without them having large incisions. Some small-breed dogs can get tracheal collapse when the cartilage in their windpipes begins to collapse, Beal said.
When Adam Van Lente read about Young Americans for Freedom's "Catch an Illegal Immigrant Day" event in the newspaper, he wanted to do something about it. Van Lente, co-owner and operator of RetroDuck, a T-shirt company at 210 Abbott Road, decided his store would design and distribute shirts disagreeing with YAF's stance against illegal immigration. "They are going to say 'Catch a YAF,' or something like 'promote tolerance,'" Van Lente said. The shirts will be free and will be handed out Friday from the store on the corner of Grand River Avenue and Abbott Road. "We want to print 100 of them," Van Lente said.

Lansing — It was a giant one-sided game of tug-of-war. Their little hands held tightly to the rope Thursday morning. An instant later, the Lansing elementary students jerked the rope to make a plastic tarp cover the framework — they just made their own unheated greenhouse. The greenhouse, located behind Gunnisonville Elementary School in Lansing, is a collaboration between MSU students and the Lansing School District to grow food for low-income families. A small group of MSU students from the Residential Initiative on the Study of the Environment, or RISE, helped the energized youngsters make the greenhouse. In upcoming weeks, MSU students will help the children plant their own garden, which in part will be used to supply the Greater Lansing Food Bank's Garden Project with fresh produce. Last year, about 20 community gardens in Mid-Michigan fed about 500 Lansing-area low-income families, said food bank director Sharon Krinock.
