MERS Coronavirus Spreading Like Wildfire, New 10-Minute Test Diagnoses Cases
Lawrence LeBlond for redOrbit.com - Your Universe Online
As the MERS-Coronavirus continues to spread, it seems little can be done to keep the virus at bay. In the past week the World Health Organization (WHO) has reported nine new cases of the virus. The global total for MERS-CoV now stands at 64 laboratory-confirmed cases and 38 deaths.All nine new cases have been reported to the WHO by the Saudi Arabia Ministry of Health.
On June 14, the Ministry reported three new cases of MERS-CoV. The first patient was a 63-year-old woman with underlying medical conditions from the Eastern region. The second patient was a 75-year-old male with underlying medical conditions from Al-Ahsa governate. The third patient was a 21-year-old male from Hafar Al-Batin governate who died from his infection.
On June 15, the Ministry reported three additional cases. The first patient was a 45-year-old man with underlying medical conditions from Taif governate. He is listed in critical condition. The second patient was a 68-year-old woman with underlying medical conditions, also from the Taif governate, and also in critical condition. The third patient was 46-year-old male from Wadi Al-Dawaser who died from his infection shortly after being admitted on June 8.
On June 17, the Ministry reported three additional cases to the WHO. The first patient was a 42-year-old man with underlying medical conditions from the Eastern region. The second patient was a 63-year-old woman with underlying medical conditions from Riyadh. The third patient was a two-year-old child with underlying medical conditions.
The Ministry has also reported an additional four deaths from previous lab-confirmed cases.
To date, cases of MERS-CoV have been reported in the UK, France, Germany, Italy and Tunisia, as well as the Middle East, where the most cases have occurred.
In related news, a new diagnostic test has been developed that is said to detect MERS-Coronavirus in as little as 10 minutes. The test will be featured at the Abu Dhabi Medical Congress and Exhibition later this year.
For the first time, a unique workshop will be hosted at the upcoming Medical Congress to discuss the use of the new isothermal DNA amplification and detection diagnostics test. The developers said the new test can be done in the field with no need for well-equipped laboratories or qualified medical personnel.
"Holding a session of this nature during the Abu Dhabi Medical Congress will give an overview about how to react fast during outbreaks and how to develop a point-of-care diagnostics in the region. Early diagnosis of the infectious agents helps to diminish their impact by adequate outbreak management such as isolation of infected patients and movement restrictions," Dr. Ahmed Abd El Wahed, from Germany´s Institute of Virology at the University of Goettingen, told Khaleej Times.
The test will provide ample time for healthcare professionals to determine the course of treatment by identifying the virus in its early stages and may allow for better patient outcomes.
"On a global level, infectious diseases (ID) are a leading cause of death, and the level is equivalent to the number of people dying from cardiovascular diseases," said Professor Frank Hufert, Centre for Hygiene and Human Genetics Division Chief of Virology at University of Goettingen.
"It has been estimated nearly two-thirds (61 per cent) of all human infectious diseases and 75 per cent of all emerging diseases (EID) are of animal origin. Today, the high mobility of people, animals and goods through progressing globalization results in an increasing risk of EID and all kind of ID. The growing world population, increasing poverty and an accumulation of people living in uncontrolled developing mega-cities highly support the dissemination and occurrence of any type of ID, even those known to occur in remote areas only," he told Khaleej Times.
The Abu Dhabi Medical Congress will be held at Abu Dhabi National Exhibition Centre from October 27 to 29, 2013.

text: I have just started using microtiter plates to purify and dry my sequencing samples. I would like to know how others using microtiter plates heat their samples before loading? I have placed them in a heating block and a water bath at 95 degrees C for 5 minutes. However, if I put water in one of wells of the plate and measure the temp it only reaches about 60 degrees C. Is this a problem with denaturing the reaction products? Or is this simply to crude a way to measure the temp of the samples. If it is a problem with denaturation does anyone have any suggestions?

For Texas and Florida, Season Must Remain About the Ground Game and DefenseSeptember 19, 2012
When it comes to Texas and Florida, Nos. 12 and 14 in the AP Poll, respectively, you've got a pair of teams that have to stay the course in the run game if they want to continue to be factors in their conferences. Both teams are less than a decade removed from BCS titles. The memory of Tim Tebow still dances in the heads of Florida Gators as some of the ultimate in quarterback play. For the Longhorns it is the double barrel of Vince Young and Colt McCoy sitting at the pinnacle.
Now, after a couple of down years, both the Horns and Gators are looking to be major players in their own leagues.
And they are doing it in a totally different way than they did just a few seasons ago. These teams are not led by dynamic power players at the quarterback position. Instead, they are built a lot more like Alabama and the LSU Tigers from 2011; they run the football and play great defense.
However, now the challenge gets increasingly more difficult. The Longhorns and Gators have established an identity, and the hardest part for them will be clinging to that hard and fast line of what they are as football teams in 2012.
For Texas, David Ash's Davey O'Brien Player of the Week Award for his 346 passing yards presents quite the issue.
Great showing by Ash, but let's not forget that his yards were aided by the 350 rushing yards the Longhorns piled up. Do not mistake this performance for a crowning moment. Ash is an adequate quarterback, but Texas has to remember where its bread is buttered: the run game. Keep Ash in his box of 18-24 passing attempts a game, and continue to churn up yards on the ground.
As for the Gators, their time will come as the SEC season continues. They've passed their first two tests, including beating a Tennessee team that has a dangerous offense. Posting 336 yards on the ground is an impressive feat, and as Jeff Driskel continues to improve, the Gators need to take shots when they can.
"Shots" means exploiting eight- and nine-man fronts a couple times during games. That does not mean letting Driskel throw the ball 25-plus times a game hoping for a big moment.
Football teams each have their own personalities, and winning strategies must take those personal and personnel makeups into account. For some teams that means chucking it around the yard for 35 times a game. For Texas and Florida, it means piling up rushing yards, punching teams in the mouth on defense and letting their quarterbacks play within themselves to manage the game.
If Mack Brown and Will Muschamp can stick to the script, the Longhorns and the Gators should be on track to have a solid conference season.

An unmanned experimental aircraft, that traces its genesis to the Air Force Research Laboratory at Wright-Patterson, has made history by reaching five times the speed of sound during the longest air-breathing, scramjet powered hypersonic flight.
On its fourth and final test May 1, the $300 million X-51 Waverider program reached a zenith when the aircraft reached more than 3,300 miles per hour and traveled more than 230 nautical miles in six minutes after being dropped from the wing of a B-52 bomber flying over a Pacific Ocean test range at 50,000 feet.
Nearly a decade ago, Wright-Patterson researchers began work on the Waverider setting the foundation for future hypersonic technology that could revolutionize the battlefield, officials said. The technology could one day push commercial flights faster than ever before and set the stage for reusable spacecraft.
"The technology was born here," Charlie Brink, X-51 program manger at AFRL's Aerospace Systems Directorate at Wright-Patterson, said Thursday. "It was nurtured here."
The Air Force could pursue the technology into a next generation hypersonic strike weapon in the mid to late 2020s capable of hitting targets within minutes, or the development of high-speed military drone and surveillance aircraft, officials said. Today, cruise missiles travel at less than the speed of sound.
"Hypersonic technology allows the Air Force to respond extremely quickly to far away contingencies and potentially to out run any defense when it arrives in a war zone," said Loren B. Thompson, a defense analyst with the Lexington Institute in Arlington, Va. "The Air Force has been researching hypersonics for well over a decade and clearly believes it could have a major impact on military operations if it becomes affordable."
The military selected Boeing and Pratt & Whitney RocketDyne to develop the airframe and engines. The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency and NASA teamed with the Air Force Research Laboratory on the project.
Joseph Vogel, Boeing X-51 project manager, said commercial applications of hypersonics could follow in the future shortly after the military fields the technology in the years ahead.
However, Thompson had doubts the technology would happen soon.
"As of today, there are no obvious commercial markets for hypersonics and that is mainly because the investment costs are so prohibitive, but the day may come when traveling to the other side of the world becomes a one-hour experience rather than a one-day experience," he said.
"When it fires, it vibrates the airplane and it just feels great because you know its working," said Maj. Andrew Murphy, a B-52 pilot on the final mission, said in a conference call Thursday.
During last week's test, a rocket booster kicked the X-51 skyward after release. Within seconds, the craft relied on a scramjet engine powered by a special blend of kerosene jet fuel, which officials said was akin to "lighting a match in a hurricane." The X-51 plunged into the ocean once the fuel was exhausted.
The JP-7 fuel, which will douse a match dropped into it, was the same that once powered the legendary and record-setting SR-71 Blackbird spy plane, officials said.
Other hypersonic vehicles have been powered by hydrogen and hauled huge amounts of liquid oxygen, which are both heavy, costly and not easily handled logistically, officials said.
In a visit to AFRL's Research Cell 22, engineers tested components of the scramjet in a rarely found propulsion wind tunnel to learn how the engines worked, Wright-Patterson aerospace engineer Glenn Liston said, among other locations where testing occurred around the nation.
The X-51's successful flight followed the failure of two previous tests, and marginal success of another. "I think like many times you learn more from your failures than you do from your successes," Brinks said.

We're in the midst of the tomato and basil harvest–lots of Costoluto Genovese tomatoes and lots of Genovese basil. Most nights that means slicing up some fresh mozzarella cheese and enjoying giant plates of insalata caprese.
But what do you do with the tomato shoulders and irregular bits left over when you make a pretty plate of caprese? We took a little inspiration from Sicily and added lemon and ground pistachio nuts for a solid pasta plate that takes full advantage of the harvest.
Serves 2 as main dish, 4 as pasta course
2 cups farfalle (bowties)
1 1/2 cups peeled, chopped tomatoes
1/2 teaspoon sea salt
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 cloves garlic, grated
grated zest of 1 lemon
juice of 1 lemon
1/4 cup pistachio nutmeats, coarsely ground
1/3 cup chopped basil leaves
1/4 cup grated Parmigiano Reggiano cheese
extra Parmigiano Reggiano for the table
1. Heat 4 quarts salted water to a boil. Add farfalle and cook al dente (about 10 minutes).
2. While pasta is cooking, carry out other steps. Place chopped tomatoes in sieve and toss with salt. Let drain over bowl, reserving liquid.
3. In heavy-duty skillet, heat olive oil until smoking hot. Remove from heat and add grated garlic and grated lemon zest. Stir until lightly browned.
4. Place skillet back on medium heat and add lemon juice. Cook until reduced by half. Add juice that has drained from tomatoes and reduce by half, stirring frequently to emulsify and get creamy texture.
5. When pasta is done, add to juice mixture in skillet. Add ground pistachios and stir well. Add chopped basil and stir well, cooking about 2 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in grated cheese.
Serve with additional cheese for the table.

Authors note:
I already have this story posted. This is the revised edition of the story I already posted. I had a review that suggested I re-write it and I thought that it was a good idea I re-read it and found it to be very vague. There wasn't much detail and it was very short. I may split it up in to chapters depending on the length. When I wrote the first edition the puss in boots movie wasn't in theaters and it wasn't a category on . So I am going to leave the first edition under Shrek and the second edition under puss in boots.
The legend of puss in boots
One night an older woman was sitting in her house next to a warm toasty fire with her four wonderful grand children and the children were telling each other ghost stories and laughing.
Then one child ask "grandmother do you have a story to tell?"
She replied "oh yes I have a very old one to tell but I think you may like it"
Then the children all gathered around her and became quiet because they new that the story that there old grandmother was about to tell was going to be a great one.

Black Bean and Plantain Empanadas with Salsa
If you like it, save it!
Save and organize all of the stuff you love in one place.Got it!
If you like something…
Click the heart, it's called favoriting. Favorite the stuff you like.Got it!
Author Notes: This past Christmas my sister gave me some subscriptions to some of my favorite cooking magazines. In these lean financial times it is nice to get something in the mail that is not a bill and brings some joy! I have been a consumate consumer of cooking magazines for a really long time. I can remember my mom occasionally having a Gourmet laying around the house. The ingredients sounded so exotic to me back then. Now I still read the usual suspects such as Gourmet, Bon Appetit, and Cucina Italiana to name a few. My sister gave me a subscription to Vegetarian Times as well and that is where this recipe has been adapted from.
Since my sister was an exchange student in Ecuador in the mid 90?s my family has had the pleasure of being introduced to many Central and South American food traditions. I have to admit that empanadas are one of my favorites. They are stuffed dough pillows. There are also versions of it in Spain and Haiti. Almost evey culture has a version of empanadas. India has samosas, Jews have knishes, the British have pasties, Poland has given us pierogis, and the USA has provided the world with mass marketed Hot Pockets.
You can form these by hand but I used my sister's empanada mold that she procured on Amazon. —testkitchenette
Makes 12 empanadas
Dough (or you can buy the pre-prepared empanada rounds in the freezer section of your market)
- 2-1/2 cups whole wheat pastry flour
- 1-1/2 teaspoons salt
- 1/2 teaspoon tumeric
- 6 tablespoons olive oil (get it cold by putting it in a glass cup or jar and placing in the freezer for a 1/2 hr)
- 3/4 cup ice cold water
- 1 tablespoon white vinegar
- Sift the flour, salt, and tumeric in a bowl and dump into the food processor. Add the olive oil by tblsp. into the food processor until mixture looks like a course sand. Add the vinegar to the ice water and add to the mixture and process until a pliable dough forms. You may need a bit more or less of the water as making dough is an inexact science! Gather dough up in plastic wrap, flatten into a disk, and chill for at least an hour or overnight.
Black Bean and Plantain Filling
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 red or yellow onion, finely chopped
- 1-15 ounces can of black beans, drained and rinsed
- 1 red pepper, finely chopped
- 1 chipotle pepper in adobo sauce, finely chopped
- 2 garlic cloves, grated
- 2 ripe plantains, peeled and diced
- 1-1/2 teaspoons cumin
- 1/4 teaspoon coriander
- 2 teaspoons adobo sauce, from the can of chipotles
- 1 handful cilantro, finely chopped
- 1-28 ounces can best quality San Marzano tomatoes (or 1-1/2 lb ripe fresh tomateos)
- 1 large onion, quartered
- 1 chipotle pepper in adobo sauce (if you like it hotter) or 1 jalapeno pepper, chopped
- 3 garlic cloves
- 2 limes, juiced
- 1/2 teaspoon salt, adjust for your taste
- grindings of black pepper
- Heat oil in a large saucepan over med-high heat. Saute onion for about 5 min until soft. Add peppers and garlic and cook till further softened. Add the beans, plantains, and the rest of the ingredients (except for cilantro). Drop heat down to medium and cook until spices fragrant (about 8-10 min.). Lastly, stir in cilantro and get ready to stuff.
- Preheat oven to 350 F Take your dough out the the fridge and unwrap it. Place it on a floured workspace (I used my largest cutting board) and divide into 12 balls. Roll out each ball on floured board to approximately 6-7 inches (I used an empty wine bottle in lieu of a rolling pin which I lack). Fill with 2 tblsp. filling and brush edges of dough with H2O. Put into empanada mold, fold over, and press down. Remove excess dough and remove empanada from mold. Put finished empanadas on a cookie sheet lined with silpat or parchment paper. Alternatively, fold the dough circle to close (after brushing edges with H2O) and crimp the edges with a fork to seal. Chill the finished empanadas for 10 minutes (to firm up the dough for baking). Bake for 20 minutes until golden. Cool down for approximately 3 minutes and serve with salsa.
- Put all ingredients into the food processor or blender and process till combined. Add the reserved tomato juice if too thick. Add salt and pepper to taste (I add a 1/2 tsp. of salt at a time).

India took a 2-0 series lead against Australia as the tourists slumped to an innings and 135-run defeat in the second Test in Hyderabad with close to two days to spare.
Australia had begun the fourth day hoping to make a good fist of holding out for a draw but lost eight wickets for just 57 runs.
The tourists had begun the day on 74 for two, trailing by 192 runs, but they were bowled out for 131.
Australia had made 237 for nine declared in their first innings but when India replied with 503 they faced an uphill task.
Ravichandran Ashwin finished the second innings with five for 63 and Ravindra Jadeja three for 33 as India built on their eight-wicket win in Chennai to lead the series 2-0 with two Tests remaining.
Only Ed Cowan, with a patient 44 from 150 balls, offered any real resistance to the home side's slow bowling attack.
Australia lost Shane Watson, caught by captain MS Dhoni off Ishant Sharma for nine, and skipper Michael Clarke when he was bowled by Jadeja for 16.
But when Cowan was the fifth wicket to fall and the third of the morning, Virender Sehwag taking the catch off Jadeja, Australia were in serious trouble at 111 for five.
Moises Henriques was run out without further addition to the scoreboard as Australia added to their troubles.
Glenn Maxwell (8), Peter Siddle (4), Matthew Wade (10) and James Pattinson (0) ensured Australia struggled to 131, leaving Xavier Doherty unbeaten on one.
But their combined efforts could not prevent a defeat of an innings and 135 runs, leaving Clarke to regret his decision to declare on day one.
The tourists had looked to make inroads into India's innings but found the home side in determined mood as they went on to eventually pass 500 runs, Cheteshwar Pujara scoring 204 and Murali Vijay 167.
That meant Australia had become the first team to declare on first innings and then lose by an innings in Test cricket.
With two matches remaining in Mohali and Delhi all Clarke can hope for is to salvage a draw from the series, but after two convincing defeats those hopes look slim.

Last September 12, Pope Benedict XVI lectured at the University of Regensburg in Bavaria on the relation between faith and reason. His argument was straightforward: Faith without reason will often lead to violence; and contrariwise, reason without faith will often lead to violence. Therefore, if we want to live in a peaceful world, faith and reason must be in dialogue not only in particular cultures but globally.
Few of the commentaries on what he said have addressed his full remarks. Instead, his quoting part of an argument between an emperor, who was a man of Orthodox Christian faith also schooled in Greek philosophy, and a Persian Muslim philosopher was used to say that the Pope meant primarily to condemn Islam's use of violence. Muslims were insulted and secularists said pointedly that the Pope has no room to talk since Christianity has also been used to countenance violence in its history. Both responses ignored what this Pope and his predecessor have often said: reason cut loose from faith closes in on itself and opens the world to violence. God is supremely rational and we are made in his image. What is irrational in itself is against God's nature and ours. Today, of course, it would be pointed out that what is irrational is itself a matter of dispute. It's obvious to me that "gay marriage" is an irrational concept, like a square circle; others see it as a civil right. Conversation to clarify presuppositions is necessary to avoid violence.
If someone asks about religiously inspired violence, many can think of examples. The most tragic such example for our country was the attack on New York and Washington, DC, five years ago, executed in the name of God. These acts of terrorists were correctly understood as attacks on all Americans. In the universal Church, the upcoming feast of the Holy Rosary on October 7 commemorates the victory in 1571 of the Christian fleet over the Muslim sea forces that had threatened Christians in the Mediterranean for centuries. Religiously inspired violence is part of many histories, but Americans generally have felt that wars of religion were a thing of the past, until recently.
By contrast, if someone were to ask about violence inspired by reason, few would understand the question and many would insist that secularist rationalism (reason which deliberately excludes faith as a source of knowledge and truth) could not foster violence. But, again, history is instructive. The first great rationalist revolution, the French Revolution of 1789 that shaped the modern history of Europe, enshrined the Goddess of Reason on the desecrated altar of Notre Dame Cathedral in Paris and proceeded to institute terror in the name of Reason. Rationalist secular utopias, especially those inspired by the last great Enlightenment thinker, Karl Marx, have been responsible for more violence and death than any religion in the history of the human race.
Faith without reason (fundamentalism) can lead to violence; reason without faith (rationalism) can lead to violence. In a healthy culture, faith is open to rational critique and reason has been opened to the horizons that revealed religion teaches. Perhaps because many Americans don't often think of reason as a source of violence nor of religion as a source of truth, the plea for a marriage of faith and reason has yet to be discussed. Without such dialogue, the Pope believes that secularist cultures will be isolated from religious cultures, and the mutual understanding necessary for peace will escape us.
Speaking this week to the ambassadors accredited to the Holy See from Muslim countries, Pope Benedict said: "In a world marked by relativism and too often excluding the transcendence and universality of reason, we are in great need of an authentic dialogue between religions and between cultures, capable of assisting us"to overcome all the tensions together." I believe we have such a dialogue in Chicago, and I trust that we can continue to build up this society together. I also believe that the dialogue between Catholics and Muslims here can help open American culture to other nations that are not secularist in their thinking and living. A dialogue of cultures can prevent a clash of civilizations.
The clash of civilizations within our own country is sometimes called a culture war. One dividing line in that cultural tension concerns how people understand what it means to respect human life. The divide separates believers and secularists. The Church's annual celebration of Respect Life Sunday during the month of October therefore brings its own tensions to our life of faith, for we live in our culture as well as in our Church. I hope that every parish and each priest and parishioner can enter prayerfully into the mystery of human life as a gift from God and then move out of this month with strengthened faith and clearer reasons for the defense of every human life at every stage of development.
A last thought concerns the launching this week of a third official Archdiocesan newspaper. Besides the Catholic New World, the Archdiocese publishes Catolico for Spanish-speaking Catholics. These two newspapers are now joined by Katolik for Polish-speaking Catholics. So far as I know, our Archdiocese is the only one in the country to have an official Polish language newspaper. I am proud of that fact and grateful to the Polish community for supporting this new paper. We welcome its beginning and pray for its success.
May God bless all of us.

University Facilities Planning Board
Role and Scope
Section 1: Membership & Protocol
The Board is comprised of members appointed by the President from various campus constituencies and a set of ex officio members. All members of the Board have voting and proxy rights.
Appointed Members
The following members are appointed by the President, from nominees submitted by the respective organizations, to three-(3) year terms, with no limit on the number of terms:
- Chair Person
- Four (4) Faculty Senate Representatives
- One (1) Staff Senate Representative
- One (1) Professional Council representative
- One (1) At-Large Representative (nominated at the discretion of the UFPB, appointed by the President, and serves at the pleasure of the Board. May have a current or former relationship with MSU, or may be from the community at large).
Ex Officio Members
The following university officials are members of the Board and may choose to designate a regular representative to attend in their stead and exercise voting rights. The ex officio member may choose to attend any meeting in place of their designee, and may exercise their own voting right. However, each member shall have only one regular vote. Therefore, if an ex officio member chooses to designate another member as their regular representative, the person so designated shall exercise only the vote of the designator.
- Director - Facilities Planning, Design, and Construction (Vice-Chair)
- Provost
- VP for Administration and Finance
- VP for Research, Creativity and Technology Transfer
- VP for Student Affairs
- Dean of College of Agriculture/Director of Agricultural Experiment Station
- Executive Director Office of Planning and Analysis
- Director of Auxiliary Services
- Manager - Parking Services
- Director - Facilities Services
- Director of Disabled Student Services
- President of Associated Students of MSU
Constituent Mix
It is intended that the Board be comprised of representatives from a broad range of campus constituents. However, due to the nature of the Board's responsibilities, it is specifically desired that at least one of the positions (in addition to the Director - Facilities Planning, Design, and Construction) always be filled by an architect from within the School of Architecture.
- Quorum: A Quorum of the Board shall consist of any eight (8) members, including officially sanctioned proxies. This number was derived under the assumption that the VPAF, VP Student Affairs and the Provost usually designate a regular member to represent their interests and the At-Large position may not always be filled - this leaves 16 regularly attending individuals, half of which constitute a quorum.
- Proxy: Any member may issue a proxy to the Board. Proxies must be written (email, memorandum, etc) and delivered prior to any meeting/vote. A proxy may be issued specific to a single issue/vote or may name any person deemed appropriate by the regular member to represent the regular member for an entire meeting, i.e., the member may designate another regular Board member or any non-member as they deem appropriate.
- Participation: The active participation of each UFPB member is crucial to the conscientious execution of the Board's duties. While regular attendance is important, the active participation requirement may be met through the use of authorized proxies and timely communication with the UFPB Chair and/or Secretary. Instances of inadequate participation will be evaluated by the the UFPB Executive Committeee and reported to the Board. The Board reserves the right to replace members (through the regular appointment process) who do not adequately participate in the activities of the Board. Issues of inadequate participation by an ex officio member will be referred to the ex officio's supervisor for resolution.
Active participation is defined as not more than two (2) unexcused absences in any 12-month period. Absences are effectively excused if the member exercises proxy in accordance with this role and scope document or notifies the Chair or Vice-Chair of the absence prior to the meeting. Summer absences by members with less than full-year contracts are excused absences. An accumulation of overall absences greater than half the meetings in any 12-month period constitutes inadequate participation, which will be cause for evaluation.
Section 2: Function
The University Facilities Planning Board serves in an advisory capacity to the President and will develop, recommend, and maintain policies related to the development and utilization of campus facilities and grounds.
All University committees whose primary function relates to the role of this Board shall be formed by and report to this Board. All proposals generated by individuals, groups, or committees, which relate to the role of the Board, shall be reviewed by the Board, for recommendation to the President.
Duties of the Board
- Coordinate the development and review of the Campus Design Guidelines.
- Review and participate in establishing priorities for the MSU Long Range Building Program.
- Review and recommend action on the development of new building programs and the siting of all new buildings and structures.
- Review and recommend action on all remodeling requests that necessitate changes in physical configuration of space in major public areas.
- Review and recommend action on all proposed changes to the campus grounds, including pedestrian, vehicular, parking, lighting, and signage systems.
- Provide conceptual architectural review of projects to assure consistency with overall campus development.
- Review and recommend action, as may be necessary from time to time, relating to any issues that may affect public spaces or the exterior campus environment.
Section 3: Committees
The following committees are constituted by and report to the Board.
Americans with Disabilities Act Facilities Advisory Committee
Classroom Committee
Parking and Transportation Advisory Committee
Public Art Committee
Technical Antenna Committee
UFPB Executive Committee:
The Executive Committee is comprised of the UFPB Chair, the Director - Facilities Operations & Maintenance, the Director - Facilities Planning, Design & Construction and the VP Administration & Finance (or designee). The Executive Committee acts on the Board's behalf regarding any item that the Chair may determine must be acted upon before the next regularly scheduled meeting. The Chair shall report any actions taken by the Executive Committee to the UFPB at the succeeding UFPB meeting.
Other Ad Hoc Committees
Committees that may be formed from time to time to study specific issues, such as lighting, signage, or any other issues related to the purview of the Board or as directed by the President.
Section 4: Exceptions
The Board does not review the following items:
- Space allocation issues, which are the purview of the University Space Management Committee.
- Buildings and grounds maintenance items.
- Interior remodeling or renovation except those in major public spaces.
- The placement of furnishings and equipment in a space when that equipment is not fixed or does not require space modification.
- Minor modifications, such as the addition of electrical outlets or the hanging of bookshelves, are not reviewed by the UFPB but must be accomplished through the appropriate Facilities Services Department.
- Traffic and parking regulations or appeals to enforce actions.


text: Originally known as the Felton School, Steelton High School was built in 1882 by the Pennsylvania Steel Company as a gift to the town. It was named after the company's first president, Samuel N. Felton and was the oldest continually operating high school in Pennsylvania. Two additions in 1900 enlarged the school, which remained the borough's high school until 1959. At that time Steelton merged with Highspire High School to create the Steelton-Highspire School District, an important shift from traditional neighborhood schooling to more suburban school systems. The Felton School building was then used as an elementary school until 2008. It is now home to lofted apartments.

Chelsea and Ivory Coast striker Salomon kalou has said he would consider joining Arsenal at the end of the season after being told of Gunners boss Arsene Wenger's apparent interest in him.
After Chelsea's 1-0 first-leg, last-16 Champions League win over Juventus on Wednesday evening the 23-year-old revealed he was honored to be linked with Arsenal before heaping praise on Wenger and his side's style of play.
"Wenger said he thought of signing me? That's an honor for me, an honor", said Kalou. "He is a very great coach and I know that every single player in the world dreams of playing for him. I have a lot of respect for him, he is one of the best coaches in the world so why not?
"I am still under contract with Chelsea but of course I have plenty of friends who play for Arsenal in Kolo Toure, Emmanuel Eboue and Emmanuel Adebayor. They are achieving huge things at Arsenal and watching them play is just beautiful."
Kalou's revelation could prove to be destabilizing Chelsea who have attempted to distance themselves from reports of in-fighting and under interim boss Guus Hiddink have appeared a more unified squad.
With Joe Cole ruled out through injury Hiddink has started Kalou in both of his two games in charge of Chelsea, but a lack of first team football before the Dutch coach's arrival could tempt Kalou to consider his options in the summer.
"You are never guaranteed to be in the Chelsea starting XI. Every single player fights to earn his place, including me, and the coach is the one that has the final word.
"At the present time I'm happy at Chelsea and I hope that the things that I want to happen will happen. I will think of my future once the season is over," added Kalou.

Update: UK's response.
The Bloomington Herald-Times reports that Indiana recently re-opened negotiations with Kentucky to save the annual basketball series but that in the end UK rejected an offer of a four-year contract with two games played at a neutral site and two games played on campus.
Through open records laws, the Herald-Times obtained a letter from Indiana athletic director Fred Glass to UK athletics director Mitch Barnhart saying that Kentucky had turned down the proposal.
IU said it was willing to play neutral site games in 2012 and 2013 in exchange for on-campus games in 2014 and 2015.
An excerpt:
Glass said that he and Barnhart had several phone conversations and that they were involved in a conference call that also included several other administrators in both athletic departments. However, on May 23, Kentucky coach John Calipari made a scheduling related post on his blog that discussed the revival of the Wildcats' series with North Carolina and his attempts to begin a series at neutral sites with Duke. Glass said he called Barnhart to find out if that meant that negotiations were off. According to the letter, IU assistant athletic director Jayd Grossman received a call from Kentucky executive associate athletics director DeWayne Peevy saying that Kentucky would refuse a contract lasting more than two years.
If true, it's obvious that Calipari has moved on and has no interest in scheduling the Hoosiers in the near future, even if that means playing in Bloomington just once in four years. That's a shame, especially considering a Kentucky-Indiana matchup next year could be the best non-conference game of the entire college basketball season.

10-inch BlackBerry PlayBook Shows Up in Vietnam
While Apple is rumored to introduce a smaller iPad to wipe out the Android competition, Research in Motion (RIM) appears to be planning an opposite strategy by making a 10.1-inch version of the BlackBerry PlayBook. Images of the 10-inch BlackBerry PlayBook were posted by a user on Vietnamese forum, Tinhte alongside the 7-inch variant.
According to Engadget, a brief teardown image reveals that the 10-inch tablet houses a 7,250mAh battery and a SIM card holder. A "BlackBerry 4G PlayBook" branding can be seen at the bottom of the device in one shot.
A recent leaked roadmap shows two tablet devices in the pipeline, with a 4G PlayBook codenamed Winchester 2 slated for a release in Q4 2012 and a 10-inch BlackBerry "Blackforest" PlayBook/Tablet in Q3 2013. We wonder if these tablet devices will ever make their ways into the consumers' hands since RIM is working on a tight schedule to deliver the first BlackBerry 10 devices.

Champion System Reveals Tour Of Beijing Roster
Hong Kong, SAR - The Champion System Pro Cycling Team will count three Chinese riders among its roster for the Tour of Beijing, but new Taiwanese national road and time trial champion Chun Kai Feng will remain at home under pressure from his national federation, Champion System General Manager Ed Beamon said.
"We were looking forward to having Kai Feng wear his new Taiwan national malaysian curly champion jersey for the first time in Beijing, but the Taiwan Federation has banned his participation and threatened to bar him from any future national team competitions if he joins the team in China's premier event," Beamon said. "I am both saddened and sickened by the provincial pettiness the Taiwan Cycling Federation has displayed. Our goal as a team has always been to provide the greatest opportunity for our athletes, and especially to give our Asian cyclists the chance to challenge themselves and push their limits in international competition."
Replacing Kai Feng will be Ryota Nishizono, the 2012 Japanese time trial champion. He will wholesale indian hair be joined by Chinese riders Gang Xu, Pengda Jiao and Biao Liu, Korean Chun Jae Jang, Irish national road champion Matt Brammeier and Americans Chad Beyer and Chris Butler. The five-day Tour of Beijing begins Oct. 11.
Former Chinese national road race champion Xu said he has focused his late-season training on this race because a strong performance is so vital.
"In terms of the importance, no doubt Tour of Beijing is one of the most important races in my season," Xu said. "I have prepared very seriously for this race. I will be there to protect our general classification riders and to ensure the best positions for them on the mountain stages.
Beamon said he will look to Butler as the team's overall leader in the 836-kilometer race that will include Beijing's mountain terrain and feature key tourist attractions such as the Great Wall, Tiananmen Square and the Bird's Nest.
"Chris Butler had a solid performance in last year's event," Beamon said. "With what appears to be even more challenging parcours, he will be focused on a strong general classification performance."
Butler said he is eager to race against the best teams in the world around Beijing as one of the final races of the season.
"The course is perfect for me, and there are way too many reasons why I am extremely motivated to get results at this race," Butler said. "Deep down, I think every guy really enjoys the exotic experience of the race even though it is far away and at the end of the season."
Champion System Pro Cycling Team Roster Tour of Beijing (Oct. 11-15):
Chad Beyer (USA), Matt Brammeier (IRL), Chris Butler (USA), Chun Jae Jang (KOR), Pengda Jiao (CHN), Biao Liu (CHN), Ryota Nishizono (JPN), Gang Xu (CHN).
Sports Director: Ed Beamon (USA).

9KMOV) -- I was covering gas prices again Thursday morning for Awake with News Four. An analyst with GasBuddy.com is predicting a four-cent to 20-cent price per gallon increase before the end of the weekend.
I was talking to people in the newsroom and at the Quick Trip off I-44 and Big Bend about the current Discover Card promotion and most people weren't aware of it.
Now through the end of March you can get 5% off on gas purchases up to $1,500 by using your Discover Card.
You just have to sign up for it at www.discovercard.com.
Look at it this way. If you're paying $3.43 per gallon and you subtract 5% you're now paying $3.26 per gallon.
May not be great, but better than nothing.

According to Gallup, Democrats are less enthusiastic about the upcoming election than they were in 2004 or 2008 and Republicans are more enthusiastic than in 2008 and equal to 2004. Not surprising, I guess, but a cause for hope, not just in presidential race but in the Congressional races as well. Sure doesn't sound like Obama will have much in the way of coattails at least.
Just how good, accurate and trustable are poll data anyway?
I know I trust polls way more than most readers of this site do. But, even if I didn't, I can't imagine why Gallup would distort this one. To give Republicans a false sense of security? I doubt it, especially since Gallup is also reporting that the race itself is a tie.
That's not a ray of hope, that's a sad – very sad – commentary on how terrifyingly stupid this country's become. What sentient being would want four more years of what we've just been through? Who the hell doesn't spot that Bareass really is bare-assed, and does not possess one shred of a clue what to do in any direction? And the democrats are "less enthusiastic?" Why the hell – simply as Americans – are they not looking to ride him out of town on a rail? "Less enthusiastic" isn't going to cut it, I'm afraid. "Hopping mad and terrified for their country" would be a hell of a lot more like it! I really don't want to believe that the American voter really is the dope I think he is.

The summary reminded me of the movie the lovely bones. i'll try to read it later
| MadCow77 chapter 18 . 10/13/2014
I happened to chanced upon this while researching Japanese funerals to see if I could somehow shoehorn Western elements - making speeches/eulogies in particular - from Google. I haven't found what I was looking for, but was instead rewarded by a well-written and emotional ride. I don't think I can say anything new that the many other reviews have already said, so I'll just end it here with a "well done".
| PrincessDenise06 chapter 18 . 8/20/2013
Wow, just wow... This is beautiful! I've been scrolling through your fics when I found this. I'm so glad I did.

You described death beautifully. It was so reasonable I won't be surprised if it was like that in the afterlife. Hmm, Tomoyo's reactions sound just like the ones that one might get if he/she found out that he/she just died. Your character seems nice and cool. And I cried when Tomoyo watched her death.. it was so sad~

i wonder what happened. your descriptions and detailed imagery are very nice. i can imagine what it's like to be in Tomoyo's head. Your characters are very realistic. And the way you wrote it is really good.

One word. Excellent. I'm crying...its so good.

Woman dies after being hit by car
A woman in her thirties has died from head injuries after a possible road rage attack.
The victim was carried along on the bonnet of a car, fell off and hit a Belisha beacon, one of the lights on a zebra crossing.
Police and ambulance crews were called to Barnet in north London shortly after 6.30pm on Monday but the woman was pronounced dead at the scene.
Officers believe she had argued with another woman driver and got out of her car before she was hit and left injured in East Barnet Road.
The victim has not yet been formally identified but her family have been told. A post-mortem examination is due to take place on Wednesday.
A woman was arrested in Barnet in connection with the death and released on bail until April.
Police are appealing for witnesses to come forward. Anyone with information can contact the incident room on 020 8247 7821 or Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.

Htc One M8 - Quietly brilliant android smartpone
HTC announced a new version of the HTC One — codenamed M8 — in late March 2014 in New York City and London. The overall look of the Android smartphone is in the same vein of the 2013 model, with stereo speakers flanking the display and providing the excellent "Boomsound" experience.
But also in the new HTC One is the addition of a second camera on the rear of the phone to provide "depth information" that lets you add all sorts of cool effects to images in post-processing. The second camera lens sits above the main camera. The New HTC One also continues with the "Ultrapixel" scheme. The original version sported a 4-megapixel sensor, but with larger pixels on the sensor, allowing for greater light sensitivity. The real-world results were mixed. The HTC One certainly was able to take some great pictures, but it seemed to be more finicky about it. The new HTC seems to be less finicky overall, but it's not without its quiks.
The new HTC One launches with Android 4.4.2 KitKat, and an updated version of HTC Sense — Sense 6.0, actually. BlinkFeed — a custom newsreader — is still on board and very much a prominent feature of the new HTC One, and it's gotten some nice visual tweaks. BlinkFeed was one of the more controversial features of Sense 5, since it took over the far left-hand position on the home screen. But it quickly grew in popularity — and even emulated by Google in the Nexus 5 with the "Google Now launcher." So it's safe to say HTC was on to something there. With the launch of the new HTC One, the company has also said it'll bring BlinkFeed to more Android devices — not just HTC's own — later this year.
The HTC One M8 launched in three colors and two finishes. Gunmetal Gray is the crowning achievement, with the aluminum sporting a brushed finish (which HTC says was not easy to do) and polished to a glossy shine. (Almost too polished, we think.) You also can get it in the same silver as the original HTC One, and also a champagne gold color. Both have the same texture as the 2013 HTC One.

In a small continental country civil war is raging.
Once a lecturer in medieval French, now a confidential agent, D is a scarred stranger in a seemingly casual England, sent on a mission to buy coal at any price. Initially, this seems to be a matter of straightforward negotiation, but soon, implicated in murder, accused of possessing false documents and theft, held responsible for the death of a young woman, D becomes a hunted man, tormented by allegiances, doubts and the love of others.

"Am unusual Graham Greene well performed by TPS"
I'm not interested in rankings like this. I recommend it, so listen to it and make up your own mind.
There's a touch of nightmarish surrealism about this so in part it reminded me of Kafka's The Trial. It's also reminiscent of some pulp noir novels of the period, luridly exaggerated and unlikely in tone but still compelling as it goes on. Also a touch of Conrad's The Secret Agent and John Buchan's Thirty Nine Steps.
He is very good but the novel is a demanding one to read and I'm not sure the protagonist's foreign accent is absolutely necessary, although he is the 'confidential agent' of the government forces in the Spanish Civil War so I'm sure the makers would argue it is. TPS is a brilliant reader however.
It wouldn't be what it actually was on the posters of the 1945 film with Lauren Bacall and Charles Boyer 'Watch her lips answer the call ... ' which refers to Lauren Bacall's famous line to Bogart in To Have and to Have Not and has nothing to do with this film or book.
It's a shame the questions above don't ask anything about the book itself. It grew on me. I'm a huge Greene fan (lifelong) but had never read this one. So I was quite surprised. The London setting is very interesting, the period in the run up to World War Two is also interesting - full of threat and menace, the war looming in the background, the contrast between the peaceful UK and the war torn Europe pervading the book written before war even began but evoking the complacency of politicians of the time as war became increasingly inevitable. Greene writes of the horror of aerial bombing, the slaughter of women and children, starvation and destitution. It's a sombre book but ultimately very gripping. Not my favourite Greene but well worth reading or listening to.
"Goes on a bit"
I felt it tried to tick too many boxes, too many loose ends and unanswered questions. Hard to see through to the end.
"Not one of his best..."
I think I've read/listened to pretty much all of Greene's novels and this is probably one of the weakest. It seems laboured and the use if initials for names and D's deliberately anonymous home country is all a bit tedious. Tim Piggott-Smith is always a good reader, although I found his accented characters more oriental than European, but then perhaps they were and my assumption that D was European is wrong... who knows? All a bit of a mystery and not in a good way. Greene is such a brilliant author overall, this one just seemed to be below par.
"Magnificent reading, pure Graham Greene."
The best so far.
John LeCarre, because of Greene's unromantic view of war and espionage.
I have been unable to separate the actor from the role since his indelible performance in The Jewel in the Crown. This reading severed the connection--he becomes so many characters, so seamlessly that I sit in the car, in the cold, unable to stop listening to the recording I am playing on my car system. He's a marvelous reader.
No, I have enjoyed the breaks, but I would have like my drives to be longer!
"te 2 nts (too intense) for me"
Best: intelligent, articulate, gripping. Worst: I'm sorry to say that this book was too frightening for me to finish, A combination of uncertainty, unfamiliarity, unsavouryness and uneasiness scared me off after a few chapters.
Sorry, I didn't get there.
I would and will. I have listened to many,
search my psyche for the reason it puts me off. When I was a kiddie I couldn't listen to the lone ranger episodes wherein LR was suspected of the crime. Maybe it's like that. Maybe it's my fear of the totally unhappy endings that Brighton Rock taught me to expect from Greene.
