Saginaw city officials get scoop on Central Michigan University Medical School developments

Posted on by

SAGINAW, MI Eventually, Central Michigan University expects to have more than 400students enrolled each year in its new medical college.

Roughly half of those students, those in their third and fourth years, will completely the majority of their coursework in two Saginaw hospitals and the adjacent facilities that CMU plans to build in 2013 and 2014.

Grant Elmquist, development officer for the new college, outlined the plans for the $25 million capital campaign and the impact it will have on the community to city leaders Monday, Jan. 25, during a tour of economic development initiatives in Saginaw.

"Hopefully next time you guys are here, you'll be wearing hardhats," Elmquist said. "We'll be breaking ground here fairly quickly."

He said this will the largest capital campaign in CMU history, though the $25 million will include construction on the Mount Pleasant campus as well.

In Saginaw, facilities are planned on both the campuses of Covenant HealthCare and St. Mary's of Michigan.

Elmquist said local leaders could expect the college moving into Saginaw will have a positive economic impact.

According to a 2008 study by the American Association of Medical Colleges, each $1 spent by medical schools and teaching hospitals can be expected to generate $1.30 in indirect revenue for the community. Having a college of medicine in the area can also eventually become a boon for the economy through a greater availability of grants for medical research, Elmquist said.

"That, to me, is one of the most exciting components," hesaid."

JoAnn Crary, presidentand CEO of Saginaw Future, said she plans to workclosely with CMU and local developers in hopes to connect students and faculty with residential and other opportunities nearby.

House panel OKs bonds for medical school expansion

Posted on by

JACKSON, Miss. (AP) Mississippi House lawmakers say they're ready to borrow $31 million for a new medical school building, but a top Senate lawmaker remains noncommittal.

The House voted 118-1 Wednesday to approve a bill to issue $31 million in bonds for a new five-story building on the University of Mississippi Medical Center campus in Jackson. Earlier Wednesday, the House Ways and Means Committee unanimously approved the measure.

Officials said the project's price tag has risen to $76 million from the $63 million previously estimated. Lawmakers provided $4 million for project planning earlier, and Gov. Phil Bryant's administration steered $10 million in federal grant money in October.

Ways and Means Committee Chairman Jeff Smith, R-Columbus, said House lawmakers intend to provide another $31 million next year to cover the remainder of the cost. He and other House members lauded UMMC's plan to train another 30 to 40 physicians per year in the expanded quarters. Now, each class of physicians has 135 students.

"This will allow the doctor population in Mississippi to expand," Smith said.

Dr. LouAnn Woodward, UMMC's associate vice chancellor, said the money is enough to begin construction. She said site work is likely to begin in late spring.

"We are so grateful for the support from the state," Woodward said. "This is an investment."

Medical school officials say the 151,000 square-foot building will replace outdated student laboratories and relieve overcrowding that has forced the school's simulation program into converted closets and a basement.

But money for the medical school could get caught up in a renewed struggle between the House and the Senate over how much the state should borrow. Last year, House members wanted to borrow hundreds of millions of dollars and Lt. Gov. Tate Reeves wanted to borrow less. When the sides couldn't agree, no bond bill passed for the first time in years.

Senate Finance Committee Chairman Joey Fillingane, R-Sumrall, said the Senate was prepared to support money last year in its pared-down bond proposal, but wouldn't commit to supporting it again this year.

KC medical school eyes new Joplin campus

Posted on by

The Kansas City University of Medicine and Biosciences is taking a second look at a possible satellite campus in Joplin, although no final decision is expected until April, city and school officials said.

Two representatives of the private osteopathic medical school's Strategic Expansion Task Force were in Joplin last week to visit potential sites and discuss the project with city and business leaders, said Lisa Cambridge, spokeswoman for the school.

The representatives visited Missouri Southern State University and heard a presentation from the city's master developer, David Wallace, Cambridge told The Joplin Globe.

The task force toured the university's Health Sciences Building and discussed student amenities and what type of research the faculty was conducting, said Pat Lipira, vice president of academic affairs at the university.

"For us, we'd just love to see a medical school, regardless of where it is located," Lipira said. "We know many of our students would be interested in that. We have a good rate of acceptance into medical schools."

Wallace told the Joplin City Council on Jan. 14 that he would make a presentation on a proposal to build a $79 million campus in downtown Joplin but other buildings and locations could be involved because the university had suggested it might want a downtown location for offices and classrooms but have students housed elsewhere.

Wallace told the city council a medical school could add $50 million a year to Joplin's economy.

"We are all for a medical education facility coming here, whether it be on the Missouri Southern campus or the downtown area," Mayor Melodee Colbert-Kean said. "We are just happy it would be in Joplin. It would be a catalyst to continuing downtown development. I think it will be a win all around for the city."

Expansion talks between the school and city were derailed in the spring of 2010 in the midst of a dispute between the university and it board. The university had fired its former president, Karen Pletz, and sued her, prompting a lawsuit from her. And the Internal Revenue Service was auditing the school.

Pletz later faced 24 federal charges alleging she had embezzled more than $1.5 million over seven years. She committed suicide in November 2011.

Liberty Bell threatened

Posted on by

Jonathan Lai, Inquirer Staff Writer Posted: Sunday, January 27, 2013, 3:01 AM A man who threatened to blow up the Liberty Bell was detained Saturday after leaving two backpacks nearby that he said contained explosives, police said. Police said they found no explosives.

The man was expected to be charged, Philadelphia police spokeswoman Officer Christine O'Brien said. He had not been publicly identified Saturday night, pending the formal filing of charges, O'Brien said.

A police source said the man was not from the Philadelphia area and did not appear to have a criminal record.

Sometime before 10:45 a.m. Saturday, National Park Service rangers stopped the man after receiving reports that he was threatening to blow up the Liberty Bell.

Two black backpacks were found in front of the Liberty Wheels wheelchair and scooter rental shop at 714 Market St. a half-block away.

Police arrived around 10:45 a.m. and closed off Market Street between Seventh and Eighth Streets.

Shortly after, a member of the Philadelphia Police Department bomb squad began examining the backpacks. The results came back negative for hazards, a bomb squad officer said.

Market Street reopened to pedestrians and traffic around 11:45 a.m. The Liberty Bell remained open throughout.

Agents from the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives also responded.

Special Agent Frank Burton Jr., spokesman for the FBI's Philadelphia division, said the joint investigation was being conducted by Philadelphia police and the FBI because the Liberty Bell is a federal landmark.

Liberty Ross files for divorce following Rupert Sanders and Kristen Stewart affair

Posted on by

Model and actress Liberty Ross has reportedly filed for divorce from Snow White and the Huntsman director rupert Sanders, after failing to recover from his affair with Kristen Stewart.

Though the pair were rumoured to be in couples therapy following the exposure of Rupert's fling with Kristen last July, it looks as though Liberty has called time on their nine-year marriage.

According to US website TMZ, Liberty filed for divorce in Los Angeles County Superior Court on Friday.

The report claims that the model has asked for spousal support and joint custody of her and Rupert's two children, while the director is thought to have filed his response to the petition already, also asking for joint custody.

Since sources have reported that the pair will be splitting court costs between them, it sounds as though Liberty and Rupert have come to the decision together.

Liberty Ross

Liberty Ross couldn't get past Rupert Sanders' affair with Kristen Stewart.

The British model and actress - who filed divorce papers this week at the Los Angeles County Superior Court, asking for spousal support and joint custody of their children Sykla, seven, and Tennyson, five - is still angry with her estranged director husband about his fling with his 'Snow White and the Huntsman' star Kristen, 22, last summer and decided she could never get over it.

A source close to the 34-year-old mother told USMagazine.com: 'This was a long time coming,' adding that Rupert 'did want to try to repair the relationship and didn't want a divorce' following his affair.

A second source said the Liberty 'was more than a little upset' about the betrayal, explaining: 'They gave it a shot for the kids, [but] she was just so angry . . .she's the kind of person who wouldn't really ever get over it.'

Rupert has filed his response to the petition in which he also asks for joint custody and he has requested that he and Liberty split the court costs between them.

Liberty and Rupert's marriage has been under strain ever since his fling with 'Twilight Saga' actress Kristen Stewart was exposed last year.

Although Liberty initially kicked the director out of their home after his infidelity was revealed, they began couples therapy in an attempt to save their marriage.

Pacific Islands unlikely to join Super Rugby expansion

Posted on by

As Super Rugby expansion looms, the Pacific Islands appear set to be left out in the cold, yet again.

This year, the three Sanzar nations will debate whether to expand the competition in 2016, as part of a new broadcast deal.

The introduction of the United States and Canada into the Pacific Nations Cup, and comments from Sanzar chief executive Greg Peters this week, confirmed those countries were being viewed as possible destinations.

Asia and Argentina are other contenders, but, until now the Pacific Islands haven't been mentioned.

In 2013, pessimism continues to prevail about inducting an island nation or a combined team into Super Rugby.

Money and resources remain major barriers.

Former Samoan captain Mahonri Schwalger would jump at the chance to lead a breakthrough island venture, one that would create pathways for aspiring players and strengthen Pacific rugby.

The performances of Samoa and Tonga at the World Cup and during last year's European tours have only enhanced the argument to assist their success.

"Samoa has been trying to break into the competition for the last 10 years," Schwalger said. "The thing we released is it's all about money. All the islands struggle financially. It comes down to sponsors and money to get our best players.

"That's the only downfall about the islands; they don't have the resources to compete with the big countries.
