The Discovery of Fetal Alcohol Syndrome
The term Fetal Alcohol Syndrome (FAS) was first published in 1973 in an article published in the British medical journal The Lancet. In that article, a group of pediatricians and psychiatrists at the University of Washington Medical School helped to define the morphological defects and developmental delays that can affect children born to alcoholic mothers. Those observations include pre- and post-natal growth deficiencies, minor facial abnormalities, and damage to the developing brain that can result in behavioral, learning, and cognitive abnormalities.

Robert Geoffrey Edwards's Study of Fertilization of Human Oocytes Matured in vitro, 1965 to 1969
Robert Geoffrey Edwards, a British developmental biologist at University of Cambridge, began exploring human in vitro fertilization (IVF) as a way to treat infertility in 1960. After successfully overcoming the problem of making mammalian oocytes mature in vitro in 1965, Edwards began to experiment with fertilizing matured eggs in vitro. Collaborating with other researchers, Edwards eventually fertilized a human egg in vitro in 1969. This was a huge step towards establishing human IVF as a viable fertility treatment.

Charles Robert Cantor (1942- )
Charles Robert Cantor helped sequence the human genome, and he developed methods to non-invasively determine the genes in human fetuses. Cantor worked in the US during the twentieth and twenty-first centuries. His early research focused on oligonucleotides, small molecules of DNA or RNA. That research enabled the development of a technique that Cantor subsequently used to describe nucleotide sequences of DNA, a process called sequencing, in humans. Cantor was the principal scientist for the Human Genome Project, for which scientists sequenced the entirety of the human genome in 2003.

Gamete Intra-Fallopian Transfer (GIFT)
Various techniques constitute assisted reproduction, one of which is gamete intra-fallopian transfer (GIFT). The first example of GIFT involved primates during the 1970s; however, the technology was unsuccessful until 1984 when an effective GIFT method was invented by Ricardo Asch at the University of Texas Health Sciences Center and the procedure resulted in the first human pregnancy. The GIFT technique was created in hopes of generating an artificial insemination process that mimicked the physiological sequences of normal conception.

An Atlas of Fertilization and Karyokinesis of the Ovum (1895), by Edmund Beecher Wilson
Edmund Beecher Wilson in the US published An Atlas of Fertilization and Karyokinesis of the Ovum (hereafter called An Atlas) in 1895. The book presents photographs by photographer Edward Leaming that capture stages of fertilization, the fusion of sperm and egg and early development of sea urchin (Toxopneustes variegatus) ova, or egg cell. Prior to An Atlas, no one photographed of eggcell division in clear detail. Wilson obtained high quality images of egg cells by cutting the cells into thin sections and preserving them throughout different stages of development.

"Fetal Surgery" (1996), by Michael R. Harrison
In 1996, Michael R. Harrison published "Fetal Surgery" in the American Journal of Obstetrics and Gynecology. In the article, Harrison describes the importance of fetal surgery and the techniques used to correct defects in fetuses. As a fetus develops in the uterus, it can develop abnormalities that may become debilitating or fatal. Harrison discusses cases that show how physicians can use fetal surgery to repair such abnormalities, including obstructions in the heart or urinary tract, or organs or muscles whose malformations impair function.

The Yale Embryo
In 1934 a fourteen-day-old embryo was discovered during a postmortem examination and became famous for being the youngest known human embryo specimen at the time. The embryo was coined "the Yale Embryo," named after the location where it was discovered, Yale University in New Haven, Connecticut. During the early twentieth century, the rush to collect embryos as well as to find younger and younger embryos was at an all time high, and the Yale Embryo is representative of the this enthusiasm.

Preimplantation Genetic Diagnosis
Preimplantation genetic diagnosis (PGD) involves testing for specific genetic conditions prior to the implantation of an embryo in the uterine wall. This form of genetic screening has been made possible by the growth of in-vitro fertilization (IVF) technology, which allows for the early stages of development to occur in a laboratory dish rather than in vivo. The purpose of PGD is to identify what are considered to be abnormal embryos in order to select the most desirable embryos for implantation.

A newly discovered plant species accumulates astonishing levels of nickel in its leaves. Concentrations of 18,000ppm by weight, making the dried leaves almost 2% nickel, have been measured. Most plants would die at a thousandth of that level.
Even species that grow in nickel-rich soil seldom have the capacity to hyperaccumulate the metal, although 500 species are known to be able to store large amounts of one metal or another.
A common feature of hyperaccumulators, across distantly related families, is the ability to move metals from the root to leaves where they can hold them without damage. It is thought that the metals serve as a way to stop animals from eating the leaves.
Rinorea niccolifera is the newest entry to the list, discovered by Edwino Fernando of the University of the Philippines and Melbourne University's Dr Augustine Doronila and described in PhytoKeys. It is a tropical forest shrub growing up to 8m tall, so far known only from a small section of north western Luzon. Given the limited sampling it is possible that on different soils it might take in even more nickel.
Nickel is the most common metal for hyperaccumulators to have a taste for, and a handful can store doses even larger than R niccolifera, but some plants with less than a tenth of its capacity are listed as hyperaccumulators.
"Hyperacccumulator plants have great potentials for the development of green technologies, for example, 'phytoremediation' and 'phytomining'" says Dornonila. Phytoremediation is the use of plants to concentrate metals from soil to an extent that the leaves are easier to remove for safe burial than the polluted soil would have been. Phytomining involves the idea that plants could extract commercial quantities of metal from soils where it would not be economic or environmentally suitable to mine them in other ways. Phytoremediation of soils polluted with metals is still in its infancy, while phytomining still theoretical.
Hyperaccumulators generally do not seem to have specialist genes absent from their nonaccumulating cousins, instead they express genes the same genes differently, usually through overexpression of transmembrane transporters. However, we do not yet know if the pattern holds for R niccolifera.

Sentiment has been dampened by potential amendments to the already damaging 2011 renewable-energy law, which established that projects could only secure a feed-in tariff (FIT) for the first 2,250 hours of operation once construction completion is certified. The tariff is currently BGN 0.191/kWh (EUR0.098/kWh) but is revised downwards annually.
Before the 2011 ruling, the FIT was agreed for a project on the signing of a preliminary grid-connection contract. Under an amendment to the law due for discussion early this year, the FIT agreement date would be set further back, after a 72-hour operational test on the wind farm is conducted.
The problem with the current arrangements, according to Bulgarian Wind Energy Association executive director Sebastian Noethlichs, is that there are perhaps 18 months when the sponsor has to take on the full tariff risk and cannot find financing. The new rules could add another three months, he adds.
Yordan Merakov, Bulgarian country manager for Danish developer Global Wind Power, says that while developers try to adjust their strategies to stay in the Bulgarian market, there are investors that are planning to leave.
Merakov notes that uncertainty about the level of FIT that will be available means that larger projects with an implementation period of longer than a year are simply not feasible. As a result, he says, Global Wind Power is focusing on lower-capacity projects. In 2011 the developer commissioned its 10MW Hrabrovo wind farm and was completing a 4MW extension early this year. Depending on legislative developments and the FIT announcement in July, another 6MW project could be completed in 2012, he adds.
Overall, despite the legislative challenges, around 100MW of capacity could be added this year. Projects coming online are likely to include the 60MW Suvorovo wind farm developed by Eolica Bulgaria, a subsidiary of Spanish renewable-energy group Enhol, and a 22.5MW extension of the 50MW Vetrocom wind farm owned by Swiss energy group Alpiq.
This would be an improvement on 2011. Figures from Bulgaria's State Energy and Water Regulatory Commission show the country's installed wind capacity stood at 504MW as of 30 June 2011, up only 15MW from end-2010. "From what we've seen, there was almost nothing in the second half of the year," adds Noethlichs.
Even so, planned capacity still far exceeds available grid capacity. Later this year, the government is expected to roll out a timetable to develop the grid and start indicating how much grid capacity is available on a yearly basis.

NC high court rules video sweepstakes illegal
Associated Press
RALEIGH, NC (AP) — North Carolina's highest court says the state can outlaw video sweepstakes parlors because they don't have the same free speech protections given to video games.
The state Supreme Court ruled Friday in two cases in which amusement machine and other companies sought to overturn a 2010 law banning video sweepstakes machines as a form of gambling. Sweepstakes halls have cropped up in what justices called a perceived loophole since the state outlawed video poker machines in 2007.
The court ruled the state law regulates the conduct of playing the sweepstakes games, which opponents say feed the same gambling addictions as traditional video poker machines. The video sweepstakes parlors argued winners are predetermined so gambling isn't involved, and a US Supreme Court ruling last year protecting video games applies to them.

NEW YORK - Many older adults report being discriminated against due to their age, according to a new study.
One third of British people in their 50s and above said they had experienced age discrimination, researchers reported in the journal Age and Ageing. That included being treated with less courtesy or getting poorer service at restaurants and hospitals.
"We know from other work that many older people feel that they are discriminated against," lead researcher Isla Rippon, from University College London, said.
But these rates were surprisingly high, she added.
"Perceived day-to-day discrimination can affect both physical and mental health," she told Reuters Health. Frequent perceived discrimination may be a chronic source of stress and build up over time, leading to social withdrawal and reluctance to go to the doctor, Rippon said.
She and her coauthors analysed questionnaires from a long-term study of more than 7,000 people age 50 and older who were living in England in 2003. The current data come from responses in 2010 and 2011.
Participants rated how often they experienced five discriminatory situations: being treated with less respect, receiving poorer service than other people in restaurants and stores, receiving poorer service in hospitals, being treated as not clever and being threatened or harassed.
They also specified why they thought such discrimination had happened.
One third of all participants attributed at least some of their perceived discrimination to age. That rose to 37 per cent of those over age 65.
"About one third of the people report age discrimination in Europe and only about 17 per cent report ethnic discrimination," Liat Ayalon, who studies older adults at the Bar-Ilan University School of Social Work in Ramat-Gan, Israel, said.
Ethnic discrimination tends to be studied more than age discrimination, she said, though that seems to be changing as the global population ages.
It's also important to keep in mind that perceived discrimination and actual discrimination can be two different things, Ayalon, who was not involved in the study, told Reuters Health in an email.
In the new study, working people were 25 per cent less likely to report age discrimination than their retired counterparts, the authors write.
Older retired men with less money and more education were most likely to report age discrimination.
Better-educated people may be more attuned to inequities and more likely to report discrimination of any kind, Rippon said.
Seventeen per cent of all participants - the highest proportion - reported being treated with less respect because of their age. Less than five per cent said they had experienced age-related harassment.
"Of particular concern were the 10 per cent of all respondents who felt that they had been discriminated (against) due to their age in health settings," Rippon said. "This provides further evidence for the existence of ageism in healthcare."
"For healthy, independent-living people the effect (of age discrimination) on health will be indirect," Wim van den Heuvel said. A professor of care science at the University of Groningen, the Netherlands, he did not participate in the new research.
Most of the people in this study were living independently.
People experiencing, or thinking they are experiencing, discrimination may go out less, feel sad or less safe, withdraw or become depressed, van den Heuvel told Reuters Health.
For older people not living independently, discrimination could actually lead to poorer medical care, he said.
Because this study lines up with results from the European Union and United States, the general findings about perceived discrimination probably apply to most countries, Rippon said. But the links to specific social factors like education and wealth may not.

Stocks Jump on Strong China Trade Data
FOX Business: Capitalism Lives Here
A batch of much better-than-expected data from China, the world's second-biggest economy, sent stocks climbing for the second day in a row on Thursday.
Today's Markets
The Dow Jones Industrial Average climbed 80.7 points, or 0.6%, to 13471, the S&P 500 gained 11.1 points, or 0.76%, to 1472 and the Nasdaq Composite advanced 16 points, or 0.51%, to 3122.
The markets snapped a two-day losing streak on Wednesday after Alcoa (NYSE:AA) kicked off earnings season on a modestly upbeat tone. The focus shifted, at least temporarily, to the world economy Thursday.
China's exports surged 14.1% on a year-to-year basis in December -- nearly three times the 5% analysts were expecting. The data, along with other recent reports, have helped ease fears that the world's second-biggest economy may be in for a hard landing.
There are two reports due out on the U.S. economy -- the world's biggest -- as well.
The Labor Department said new claims for unemployment benefits rose last week to 371,000 from a downwardly revised 367,000 the week prior. Claims were expected to fall to 365,000 from an initially reported 372,000. A separate report showed wholesale inventories climbing 0.6% in November from October, a faster clip than the 0.3% forecast.
Also on the economic front, the European Central Bank held its main refinancing rate at 0.75%, as expected. The Bank of England held its benchmark interest rate at 0.5% and the size of its asset-purchase program at 375 billion pounds, as expected.
In corporate news, BATS Global Markets issued a note to clients late Wednesday warning that a "system issue" allowed hundreds of thousands of transactions to be processed at prices that were different from the best ones available in a situation that has been ongoing since 2008. BATS is the third-biggest U.S. equities exchange and processes 12% to 13% of U.S. equity transactions daily.
Herbalife (NYSE:HLF) held an investor conference on the day in which it defended itself against claims from activist hedge fund manager William Ackman that it is basically a "pyramid scheme." Increasingly, the dispute it becoming a clash of hedge fund titans, with high-profile managers picking both sides, causing the stock to fluctuate violently.
Tiffany & Co. (NYSE:TIF) shares came under heavy selling pressure after the luxury retailer said its full-year earnings would come in at the low end of its guidance.
In commodities, oil futures advanced. The benchmark contract jumped 72 cents, or 0.77%, to $93.82 a barrel. Wholesale New York Harbor gasoline climbed 0.52% to $2.7933 a gallon. In metals, gold rallied $22.50, or 1.4%, to $1,678 a troy ounce.
Foreign Markets
The Euro Stoxx 50 rose 0.07% to 2708, the English FTSE 100 gained 0.05% to 6102 and the German DAX dipped 0.16% to 7708.
In Asia, the Japanese Nikkei 225 advanced 0.7% to 10653 and the Chinese Hang Seng edged up by 0.59% to 23354.

The University of Louisville (UofL) is a public university in Louisville, Kentucky, a member of the Kentucky state university system. When founded in 1798, it was the first city-owned public university in the United States and one of the first universities chartered west of the Allegheny Mountains. The university is mandated by the Kentucky General Assembly to be a "Preeminent Metropolitan Research University".[7] UofL enrolls students from 118 of 120 Kentucky counties,[8] all 50 U.S. states, and 116 countries around the world.[9]
The University of Louisville School of Medicine is touted for the first fully self-contained artificial heart transplant surgery[10] as well as the first successful hand transplantation.[11] The University Hospital is also credited with the first civilian ambulance, the nation's first accident services, now known as an emergency room (ER), and one of the first blood banks in the US.[12]
Between 1999 and 2006 UofL was one of the fastest growing medical research institutions according to National Institutes of Health rankings.[13] As of 2006, the melanoma clinic ranked third in among public universities in NIH funding,[13] the neurology research program fourth, and the spinal cord research program 10th.
UofL is also known for its Louisville Cardinals athletics programs, several of which are among the most successful in the country. Since 2005 the Cardinals have made appearances in the NCAA Division I men's basketball Final Four in 2005, 2012, and 2013 (champions), football Bowl Championship Series Orange Bowl in 2007 (champions) and Sugar Bowl in 2013 (champions), the College Baseball World Series 2007, 2013, and 2014, the women's basketball Final Four in 2009 (runner-up) and 2013 (runner-up), and the men's soccer national championship game in 2010. The Louisville Cardinals Women's Volleyball program has three-peated as champions of the Big East Tournament (2008, 2009, 2010), and were Atlantic Coast Conference Champions in 2015. Women's track and field program has won Outdoor Big East titles in 2008, 2009 and 2010 and an Indoor Big East title in 2011.
Founding and early years: 1798–1845
The University of Louisville traces its roots to a charter granted in 1798[14] by the Kentucky General Assembly to establish a school of higher learning in the newly founded town of Louisville. It ordered the sale of 6,000 acres (24 km²) of South Central Kentucky land to underwrite construction, joined on April 3, 1798 by eight community leaders who began local fund raising for what was then known as the Jefferson Seminary. It opened 15 years later and offered college and high school level courses in a variety of subjects. It was headed by Edward Mann Butler from 1813 to 1816, who later ran the first public school in Kentucky in 1829 and is considered Kentucky's first historian.[15]
Despite the Jefferson Seminary's early success, pressure from newly established public schools and media critiques of it as "elitist" would force its closure in 1829.<ref name="[15]
Eight years later, in 1837, the Louisville City council established the Louisville Medical Institute at the urging of renowned physician and medical author Charles Caldwell. As he had earlier at Lexington's Transylvania University, Caldwell rapidly led LMI into becoming one of the leading medical schools west of the Allegheny Mountains. In 1840, the Louisville Collegiate institute, a rival medical school, was established after an LMI faculty dispute. It opened in 1844 on land near the present day Health sciences campus.
As a public municipal university: 1846–1969
In 1846 the Kentucky legislature combined the Louisville Medical Institute, the Louisville Collegiate Institution, and a newly created law school into the University of Louisville, on a campus just east of Downtown Louisville. The LCI folded soon afterwards. The university experienced rapid growth in the 20th century, adding new schools in the liberal arts (1907), graduate studies (1915), dentistry (1918), engineering (1925), music (1932) and social work (1936).
In 1923, the school purchased what is today the Belknap Campus, where it moved its liberal arts programs and law school, with the medical school remaining downtown. The school had attempted to purchase a campus donated by the Belknap family in The Highlands area in 1917 (where Bellarmine University is currently located), but a citywide tax increase to pay for it was voted down. The Belknap Campus was named after the family for their efforts.
In 1931, U of L established the Louisville Municipal College for Negroes on the former campus of Simmons University (now Simmons College of Kentucky), as a compromise plan to desegregation. As a part of U of L, the school had an equal standing with the school's other colleges. It was dissolved in 1951 when U of L desegregated.[16]
During World War II, Louisville was one of 131 colleges and universities nationally that took part in the V-12 Navy College Training Program which offered students a path to a Navy commission.[17]
In the second half of the 20th century, schools were opened for business (1953), education (1968), and justice administration (1969).
As a public state university: 1970–present
Talk of U of L joining the public university system of Kentucky began in the 1960s. As a municipally funded school (meaning funding only came from the city of Louisville), the movement of people to the suburbs of Louisville created budget shortfalls for the school and forced tuition prices to levels unaffordable for most students. At the same time, the school's well established medicine and law schools were seen as assets for the state system. Still, there was opposition to U of L becoming public, both from faculty and alumni who feared losing the small, close-knit feel of the campus, and from universities already in the state system who feared funding cuts. After several years of heated debate, the university joined the state system in 1970, a move largely orchestrated by then Kentucky governor and U of L alumnus Louie Nunn.[18]
The first years in the public system were difficult, as enrollment skyrocketed while funding was often insufficient. Several programs were threatened with losing accreditation due to a lack of funding, although schools of nursing (1979) and urban & public affairs (1983) were added.
John W. Shumaker was named U of L's president in 1995. Shumaker was a very successful fund raiser, and quickly increased the school's endowment from $183 to $550 million. He developed the REACH program[19] to encourage retention. In 1997, he hired athletics director Tom Jurich, who restored the athletics program and raised over $100 million to raze abandoned factories and old parking lots next to campus and replace them with on-campus athletic facilities, which vastly improved the aesthetics of the Belknap Campus. Academically, U of L moved closer to parity with the state's flagship University of Kentucky as retention rates and research funding increased, and average GPAs and ACT scores were much higher for incoming freshman.
The school's current and 17th president James R. Ramsey, is the former state budget director. Since Ramsey's arrival, he has continued the endowment and fund raising growth started by Shumaker. Although, Ramsey has added more emphasis on improving the physical aspects of the Belknap Campus. To this end, he started a million dollar "campus beautification project" which painted six overpasses on the Belknap Campus with a 'U of L theme' and planted over 500 trees along campus streets, and doubled the number of on-campus housing units. The school's federal research funding has also doubled under Ramsey, and three buildings have been built for nanotechnology and medical research. U of L's graduation rate has also increased from 30 percent in 1999 to 52 percent in 2012.
On June 17, 2016, Kentucky Governor Matt Bevin announced that the entire Board of Trustees of the university would be immediately disbanded and replaced and that Ramsey would be stepping down,[4] and this was confirmed in a statement issued by Ramsey on the same day.[5] Ramsey offered his resignation at a Board of Trustees meeting on July 27, 2016, which was accepted by the board. He will remain as head of the University of Louisville Foundation.[20]
U of L through its School of Medicine and University Hospital is known for its innovations in the field of medicine, including:
|World's first self-contained artificial heart transplant[10]
|World's first successful hand transplant[11]
|Development of autotransfusion[12]
|First emergency room[12]
The University of Louisville offers bachelor's degrees in 70 fields of study, master's degrees in 78, and doctorate degrees in 22. The 2009 annual report of Arizona State University's Center for Measuring University Performance ranks U of L in the top public research universities in the United States based on its nine measure assessment of Total Research, Federal Research, Endowment Assets, Annual Giving, National Academy Members, Faculty Awards, Doctorates Granted, Postdoctoral Appointees, and SAT/ACT range.[21]
The University of Louisville Brandeis School of Law's Louis D. Brandeis Society awards the Brandeis Medal in tribute to Louis Brandeis, a former U.S. Supreme Court justice from Louisville.

UPS tuition reimbursement and Metropolitan College
In addition to their nationwide partial tuition reimbursement programs, UPS (United Parcel Service) offers U of L (along with Jefferson Community and Technical College) students who work overnight at Worldport, the company's worldwide air hub at Louisville International Airport, full tuition reimbursement through a program called Metropolitan College. This program also offers reimbursement for $65.00 of book costs for each class, and awards bonus checks to students in good standing at the end of each semester and upon reaching certain credit hour milestones. Employees additionally are eligible for full health insurance coverage.[40] Currently over 75 percent of the workers at the air hub are students.[41]
Honors Program
The University of Louisville also has an Honors Program. Incoming freshmen can apply to be in the Honors Program if they meet the following requirements: a 3.5 cumulative high school GPA and a 29 on their ACT. Current students can apply for the Honors Program if they are able to maintain a cumulative GPA of 3.35 or higher. Courses through the Honors Program focus on reading, writing and discussion. Students in the Honors Program also benefit from priority registration for classes, smaller class sizes, and unique study abroad opportunities.[42]
The university has three campuses in the Louisville area, the Belknap, the Health Science, and the Shelby. It also has an International Campus in Panama City, Panama, as well as various satellite facilities in the state of Kentucky and abroad:
Belknap Campus
Acquired in 1923, the Belknap Campus is the school's main campus. It is located three miles (5 km) south of downtown Louisville in the Old Louisville neighborhood. It houses seven of the 12 academic colleges and features one of the casts of Auguste Rodin's The Thinker in front of the main administrative building, Grawemeyer Hall. The grounds of the campus were originally used as an orphanage, several of the original buildings used.[43]
The Belknap Campus has expanded greatly in recent years, with land housing abandoned factories in the area being purchased and redeveloped. Projects built since 1998 include Papa John's Cardinal Stadium and adjacent Trager Center fieldhouse, Owsley B. Frazier Cardinal Park (which includes Ulmer Stadium for softball, Trager Stadium for field hockey, Cardinal Track and Soccer Stadium, Bass-Rudd Tennis Center, locker rooms, a playground and a cushioned walking path), Jim Patterson Stadium for baseball, Ralph R. Wright Natatorium, Owsley Brown Frazier Sports medicine Center, and a lacrosse stadium. With new parking at Papa John's Cardinal Stadium, non-resident parking was moved there and the parking lots near campus were redeveloped with new dormitory buildings, including the Bettie Johnson Apartments,[44] Kurz Hall, Minardi Hall, and Community Park.[45]
Other points of interest on the Belknap Campus include the Rauch Planetarium,[46] the Covi Gallery of the Hite Art Institute, and the final resting place for former U.S. Supreme Court Justice Louis D. Brandeis under the portico in the Brandeis Law School. Surrounded by, but not part of the campus, are the Speed Art Museum, a private institution that is affiliated with the University of Louisville, and the Confederate Civil War Monument, located at the juncture of 2nd and 3rd streets, which honors Confederate Civil War dead; this was built there before the school grew to surround the land it stands on, which is owned by Louisville Metro. The Kentucky State Data center, the state's official clearing house for census data and estimates, is located next to Bettie Johnson Hall.
Since 2008 the school has purchased three large tracts of land adjacent to the Belknap Campus, 55 acres (220,000 m2) to the school's northwest campus, 17 acres (69,000 m2) to the school's east campus – south of Hahn and 39 acres (160,000 m2) south of the Speed School of Engineering. New student housing has been completed on one of the northwest segments with student parking slated for the other. A new engineering and applied sciences research park is planned for the land south of the Speed School of Engineering. It serves as the centerpiece of a Signature Tax Increment Financing (TIF) district, designed to stimulate economic growth in an area around U of L's Belknap campus. The TIF district covers more than 900 acres stretching from Belknap Campus south to the Watterson Expressway. The Kentucky Economic Development Finance Authority recently approved the TIF, paving the way for what could be an estimated $2.6 billion over 30 years.

Belknap Campus development projects
In 2009, the university unveiled its new master plan for the next 20 years with efforts from U of L Foundation and other affiliate partners. Several important projects under construction or planned at that time included a new student recreation center, soccer stadium, new residence halls and academic buildings. Furthermore, the reconstruction of the I-65 ramps to the Belknap Campus, converting the four lanes of Eastern Parkway into a two-lane road with bike lanes and a landscaped median to improve pedestrian access to the Speed School, the moving of several university offices to allow the existing facilities at Arthur Street and Brandeis Avenue to be converted to commercial property and restaurants. The Yum! Center (a men's basketball and volleyball practice facility) was completed in the fall of 2007. A 12,000-square-foot (1,100 m2) Olympic sports training/rehab center adjacent to Trager Stadium is also under construction. Additionally, Trager Plaza, a small plaza with a fountain, statue, and garden has been built with donations by the Trager Family on the south part of campus. The $37.5 million Student Recreation Center, located on the Fourth Street corridor along the western border of campus, opened in October 2013. The Province, The Bellamy and Cardinal Towne are three new student housing developments built to the southwest of campus, near the recreation center. All three were built by private developers, and The Province was built in tandem with U of L's properties. In the short term, university provost Shirley Willihnganz expects the university to continue partnerships with private entities to build student housing.
On another note several athletic facilities are being renovated, and the new $8 million academic center will be located beneath the Norton Terrace at the south end of Papa John's Cardinal Stadium. It will be centrally located between two of the university's cornerstone buildings, the Swain Student Activities Center and Papa John's Cardinal Stadium. It will have seating capacity for over 5,300 fans and will feature a 15,500 square foot training center that will include identical locker rooms for each team, coaches' offices and a sports medicine training room. This stadium will be the second largest project the athletic department has undertaken behind Papa John's Cardinal Stadium. Furthermore, a $4 million expansion of Jim Patterson Stadium includes the addition of 1,500 chair back seats, two-tiered ground level terraces, a visiting team locker room, and a 6,400 square foot terrace atop the chair back seats connecting the first and third base sides. The new Jim Patterson Stadium will have a total capacity of 5,000. Along with the $2.75 million expansion of U of L's softball stadium will feature a team clubhouse with a locker room, a video room, and a players' lounge. The Dan Ulmer Stadium will see the addition of 200 chair back seats, bringing the seating capacity to 1,000. The project also will add a 2,380 square foot fan terrace wrapping around the back of the stadium, as well as a new press box that will more than double its current size.

Health Sciences Campus
The U of L Health Sciences Center, also called the med campus, is located just east of Downtown Louisville in the Louisville medical park which contains two other major hospitals and several specialty hospitals, and it houses the remaining five colleges. This is the school's original campus, being continuously used since 1846, although none of the original buildings remain. Buildings of note on the HSC include the fourteen story Medical Research Tower and the ten-story University Hospital.Construction is finished for a recently opened, downtown Louisville Cardiovascular Research Innovation Institute building to be directed by a researcher, Stuart Williams from the University of Arizona; and an eight-story, $70 million biomedical research building. Faculty and students also work with neighboring hospitals including Kosair Children's Hospital, as well as outreach programs throughout Kentucky, including in Paducah, Campbellsville, and Glasgow.

Health Sciences Campus development projects
The U of L Health Sciences Campus has seen a large amount of new development in the past decade, include the completion of 3 new buildings (Baxter Research Complex, Cardiovascular Research Tower, and the Jackson Street Medical Plaza). Work is ongoing on the Biolab Research Tower, with a January 2009 completion date projected.
In 2007 U of L announced plans to create a nine-acre medical research park on the so-called Haymarket property roughly bounded by Market, Preston, Brook, and Jefferson Streets, along I-65 in Downtown Louisville, now called the Nucleus Research Park, with 1,000,000 square feet (93,000 m2) of research space. Nucleus, Kentucky's Life Science and Innovation Center, was established in 2008 by the University of Louisville Foundation to integrate U of L resources with those of the region to transform Louisville into a major life science research hub. Nucleus is assisting in the development of U of L's Health Science Campus downtown as well as improving the physical and economic health of Kentucky and the region.
Nucleus' work is integral to the development of the research park currently underway at U of L's Haymarket 30-block property in downtown Louisville. Nucleus Innovation Park will house multiple facilities in close proximity to expedite collaboration and shared expertise among researchers and companies creating a vibrant technology business district along the city's healthcare/university/riverfront corridor. The project is expected to cost $300 million and would be constructed from 2009 to 2017. A 200,000-square-foot, eight-story, $18 million building, is the first in a series of structures, broke ground in July 2011, and is expected to open in June 2013.[47]
An important project adjacent to the Downtown Health Sciences Campus was the conversion of the Clarksdale Housing Complex into a new mixed income development called Liberty Green.

Shelby Campus
The 230-acre (0.93 km2) Shelby Campus is located on Shelbyville Road near Hurstbourne Parkway in Eastern Louisville. This campus was originally the home of Kentucky Southern College, a Southern Baptist liberal arts college that operated from 1961 to 1969.[48] After the college folded, it transferred all its assets and liabilities to U of L. It currently only has three buildings which are used for night classes and seminars, although construction of a $34.6-million Center for Predictive Medicine, a Level 3 biosafety facility, is in the works.[49] The Shelby Campus is also home for the building which houses the Information Technology Resource Center (ITRC) for homeland security. The ITRC conducts communications and IT research for the U.S. Department of Homeland Security as well as seminars and training in emergency preparedness and response. When completed, the impressive ShelbyHurst Office Campus will have over 1.5 million square feet of modern office space managed, developed and leased by NTS Development Co., in partnership with the U of L Foundation. The first three projects are in full swing.[50]
The U of L Shelby campus is undergoing a major renovation, with two new entrances to the campus off Hurstbourne Parkway. The overall goal is to develop 108 acres (0.44 km2) of the 230-acre (0.93 km2) campus for business, office, technology and research use, now known as the ShelbyHurst Research and Office Park. The university will spend $7.9 million on the road improvements on the campus. The roadway improvements began in August 2008, with work on a new four-lane boulevard through the campus, bordered by bike lanes, sidewalks, and will be heavily landscaped. The 600 North Hursbourne – Transformation is evident at the busy northeast corner of ShelbyHurst with the completion of 600 North. The LEED-certified, 125,000-square-foot office building is 80 percent leased and serves as corporate headquarters to Churchill Downs, NTS, Semonin Realtors and Stifel Nicolaus.
500 and 700 North Hurstbourne Planning and design is currently underway for 500 and 700 North, ShelbyHurst's newest properties. With construction set to begin later this year, these properties will have between 100,000 and 130,000 square feet of Louisville's most prestigious office space. ShelbyHurst was designed around a four-lane boulevard through the campus bordered by bike lanes and wide attractive sidewalks. Special attention was given to enhancing green space and improving the life of the surrounding community. The green design of the entire development, combined with the convenience of a new boulevard and modern throughways, will facilitate driving, walking and biking through the campus.[51]
International Campus
The University of Louisville runs a sister campus[52] in Panama City, Panama, which has an MBA program.[53] The full-time program takes around 16 months to complete and enrolls about 200 students. It is currently ranked the 4th best MBA program in Latin America.[53]
The university also offers professional MBA programs in Athens, Hong Kong, Singapore and other parts of Asia. Their collaboration partner in Singapore is Aventis School of Management.
Other facilities
U of L operates the Moore Observatory in Oldham County, an astronomical observatory. There are also plans to purchase several hundred acres in Oldham County for the school's equine program.
The University of Louisville library system is a member of the Association of Research Libraries.[54] U of L's main library branch is the William F. Ekstrom Library, which opened in 1981. The four-story building finished an expansion in March 2006, which increased its total size to 290,000 square feet (27,000 m2) and shelving capacity to over 1.3 million books. It is one of only five universities in the U.S. to have a robotic retrieval system,[55] which robotically places books in humidity-free bins. The University of Louisville libraries were the seventh academic institution in North America to have such a facility.
There are five other libraries at the university, with a combined total of more than 400,000 volumes of work:
- Archives and Special Collections[56]
- The Margaret M. Bridwell Art Library[57]
- Dwight Anderson Memorial Music Library[58]
- Kornhauser Health Sciences Library[59]
- Brandeis Law School Library[60]
In 2009, the Kersey Library at the J. B. Speed School of Engineering was converted to an academic building named the Duthie Center for Engineering.[61] The library's collection was fully integrated into Ekstrom Library on January 15, 2007.

Greek life
Notable people
The Louisville Cardinals (commonly referred to as "the Cards") are the student athletes representing the university. There are 13 women's and 10 men's teams, all of which participate in the Atlantic Coast Conference. Louisville was invited to the ACC on November 28, 2012 and began play in 2014. The Cardinals are well known nationally in men's basketball with three national championships and 10 Final Four appearances, ranking 5th in NCAA Tournament wins, 9th in winning percentage, and from 2nd to 5th in annual attendance every year since 1984. The current head coach of the men's basketball team is Rick Pitino. For the 2015–16 season, the men's basketball team held a self-imposed postseason ban due to a sex scandal involving recruits and former players.[68]
In recent years other Cardinal teams have gained national prominence. The women's basketball team, coached by Jeff Walz and led by first team All-American Shoni Schimmel, has been to two straight Sweet 16s and have been ranked in the top 10. In December 2008 the Cardinals broke the Big East paid attendance record when 17,000 fans filled Freedom Hall to watch the Cards defeat rival Kentucky, and later that season advanced to the NCAA championship game, losing to Connecticut. The Cardinals returned to the NCAA final behind Native American star Shoni Schimmel in 2013, losing again to Connecticut, The following season, the Cardinals filled the KFC Yum! Center with over 22,000 fans, including an estimated 1,500 Native Americans from 40 states, for the final scheduled home game of the graduating Schimmel. Other U of L teams with recent post season success includes track and field (two individual national championships), volleyball (consecutive Sweet 16 appearances and a three-peat as Big East Tournament Champions from 2008–2010, and Atlantic Coast Conference Champions in 2015) and baseball (two College World Series appearances and consecutive Big East conference titles). The volleyball team has also accomplished achievements such as Head Coach Anne Kordes being named Coach of the Year in 2015, Senior Setter for Louisville, Katie George being named Atlantic Coast Conference Player of the Year, and Freshman Libero, Molly Sauer being named Freshman of the Year and Defensive Player of the Year. All U of L locally broadcast games airing on the school's flagship affiliate WHAS-TV Louisville are televised on every cable provider in Kentucky.
The university's Athletic Department, led by Tom Jurich, is currently undertaking an expansion of its facilities, with the main focus of the project to expand Papa John's Cardinal Stadium (football). The project, funded both privately and publicly, is expected to begin in 2017. Major changes in the stadium include field level suites, closing off the end zone, and making the stadium as a whole more luxurious.
Fight song
Notable among a number of songs commonly played and sung at various events such as commencement, convocation, and athletic games is the University of Louisville fight song, Fight! U of L!, written by Robert Griffith. Also notable is All Hail, a fight song written by current Athletic Pep Band director Al Greener.

Debian comes with over 37,500 packages in its default distribution. Yet, occasionally, we still need to install a package which has not made it into the default distribution.
If your current system already has all the prerequisite packages installed, then life is good. You simply download the deb file, and install it with the
dpkg command:
$ sudo apt-get update
$ sudo dpkg -i somelocal.deb
But, if you run into package dependency problems, you are on your own. The
dpkg command does not resolve dependency problems for you.
For a Debian or Ubuntu system, a better way to install a local package is to use the
gdebi command.
gdebi command accesses the repositories specified in your
/etc/apt/sources.list file to resolve any dependencies.
First, install
gdebi by running the following commands.
$ sudo apt-get update
$ sudo apt-get install gdebi
You need to be
root in order to run the
gdebi command to install a package.
$ sudo apt-get update
$ sudo gdebi somelocal.deb
Using the
gdebi command saves you time if you run into dependency problems while installing a local
deb package.
