2 - The Michigan Daily - Monday, July 14, 2003 -NEWS- NANOTECH Continued from Page 1 The Center is the only nanotechnol- ogy department in the world with a biological focus. One of the principal projects of the Center is the development of'smart nanodevices to act as anti-cancer agents. The Smart Anti-Cancer Thera- peutics Project involves 17 scientists from the Medical School, the College of Engineering and the College of Lit- erature, Sciences and the Arts. These researchers use customized synthetic polymers called dendrimers as vehi- cles for the delivery of anti-cancer drugs to infected cells. Last fall, the CBN received a $6.8 million grant from the National Cancer Institute. In addition, the CBN was given a three-year exten- sion on its contract with the NCI. "The increased funding recog- nizes our success during the first three years of the project," Baker said in a written statement. "We demonstrated that we could produce these new therapeutic agents, that they were non-toxic and would target tumor cells in animals. In the next phase of the research study, we will test the combined imaging and anti-tumor effects of these dendrimer-based agents in research animals," Baker added.

What's so refreshingly unusual is that Netpenny has taken the Wal-Mart approach to business and have thousands of happy customers to prove it. Because of volume Netpenny only charges $4.95 a month for Internet access! To make things even better there is no contract, no set up fees and they don't even require a credit card! People are saving as much as $225 or more per year, which is a car payment or a weekend getaway year after year just for switching Internet companies! With the cost of Internet for families in our area running as much as $23.90 a month it's refreshing to know that Netpenny.net offers a high-quality/ low-cost alternative to our community. To sign up today and/or for more info about this fantastic service just go to their website: www.netpenny.net and/or call them from anywhere in our area toll free 1-888-248-7239. The Center has been working on the actual anti-cancer nanodevice for just Truck ro over one year. Researchers at the CBN hope that the next incarnation of nanoth- erapeutics will perform five main func- tions: recognition of cancerous cells, diagnosis of the cause of cancer, drug delivery, reporting tumor location and reporting cancer cell death. The field of nanotechnology was pioneered by Richard Feynman in 1959. The name nanotechnology comes from the size of the com- pounds used in application. Mea- sured in nanometers, (1/1,000,000,000 of a meter) in diameter, these compounds can be engineered to be small enough to be injected into the body through a fine hypodermic needle. The Uni- versity's breakthroughs in nan- otechnological research welcomes significant advancements to the Dan Smallwood di field of cancer medicine. that flipped near ART FAIR Continued from Page 1 Other new attractions to this year's fair include daily carillon concerts by University alumni, artist demonstra- tions made possible by the Toyota Technical Center, two internet connections where fairgoers can access the art fair web site, and a guide called Street Art, which is a full-color pamphlet for the street art fair containing examples of each artists' work and contact information. Brown has also worked this past year to relocate the event to the area surrounding the University's Burton Tower. "It's a massive undertaking to relocate an event that has been in the same place for 43 years, and to relocate it within the constraints of the existing fairs," Brown said. Ann Arbor's art fairs have won acclaim, ranking toward the top in the National Association of Indepen- dent Artists' annual survey, where top artists in the country rank the fairs they participate in. "The quality of work here, top to bottom, is unparal- leled. There are other rankings done on sales, but even if our sales aren't the best we are consistently known as one of the best juried fairs," Brown said. 4 4 irects a tractor driver towing a Farmer's Unlimited Truck the University Hospital Wednesday afternoon. This year's fair is expected to draw a total of 500,000 visitors over its July 16-19 run. Last year the sales reported by the artists totaled about $1.8 million, but the artists are not the only peo- ple who make a profit during art fair. "Our average lunch crowd is about 70 people on a Wednes- day;" said Steven Clausnitzer, dining room manager at Gratzi. "At art fair we will have about 300 people at lunch" However, not everyone is excited about the big crowds. "It's in my way," Ann Arbor resident Adrianna Buonarroti said. "I used to walk through it purposefully, just to see what was there, but now I purposefully avoid it." Buonarroti is not alone, as other Ann Arbor residents and students will be avoiding the crowded downtown area. But for as many people who think it is in their way there appear to be an equal amount of people who think it is a beneficial event. LSA senior Christian Kok, who has experienced the art fair for five consecutive summers, said, "I think it's a really good idea in the first place and a really good tradition because it allows people of all ages to enjoy different types of art. It's a good thing for the commu- nity and society."
