Ocular Regenerative Medicine Institute

Tissue and stem cell therapies hold enormous promise for repairing ocular tissues. Investigators in the Ocular Regenerative Medicine Institute (ORMI) lead the effort to develop revolutionary methods to regenerate eye tissues for various diseases, including age-related macular degeneration (AMD), glaucoma, corneal disease, and ocular cancer. They significantly advanced the understanding of tissue and stem cell transplantation in the retina—particularly in terms of graft survival and the formation of functional neural connections after transplantation. Our investigators are also developing biomaterials that can be used for delivering neuroprotective agents or stem cells to the retina; the engineered biomaterials have also been shown to promote survival and functional growth of neurons after transplantation.

Eco-Friendly Alternatives
An excellent alternative to air conditioning is becoming more affordable -- geothermal cooling systems. I became familiar with geothermal systems when the board of a local library decided to go that route with a new building it was having constructed. Geothermal systems can either heat or cool and are powered by the heat stored in the earth. Geothermal systems aren't new. The Romans used geothermal systems (albeit less sophisticated ones than today's) to heat their homes thousands of years ago.
Currently, if you decide to buy a geothermal system, you can also apply for tax credits that make your investment even more economical.
So, you too can be like some of your favorite celebs and have a healthier life and environment by turning off the AC.

Changes coming to key congressional committees despite status-quo election
Wednesday - 11/7/2012, 7:24am EST
With control of the Senate and the House remaining unchanged after Tuesday's election, both parties will retain leadership of their respective committees.
But retirements and committee-term limits will mean some new faces on key panels with oversight of the federal workforce and government management.
Leadership in the Senate Homeland Security and Government Affairs Committee will change in both parties. Senior committee member Tom Carper (D-Del.), who won his re-election bid, is expected to take over as chairman after Joe Lieberman (I-Conn.), retires at the end of the year. Democrat Chris Murphy won a three-way race to succeed Lieberman.
Sen. Susan Collins (R-Maine) was not up for re-election, but term limits keep her from maintaining her role as ranking member on the committee. Sen. Tom Coburn (R-Okla.) is next in line.
Changes at the top of the committee are expected to lead to some shakeups at the subcommittee level.
Carper currently chairs the Federal Financial Management Subcommittee, and if he succeeds Lieberman as chairman of the full committee, it's unclear if he would retain his subcommittee post.
The ranking member of the subcommmittee, Scott Brown (R-Mass.), lost his re-election bid.
Daniel Akaka (D-Hawaii), the chairman of the Oversight of Government Management Subcommittee, is retiring. Sen. Carl Levin (D- Mich.) is the next most senior member. However it's unclear if he would take over leadership of the subcommittee because he currently chairs the Senate Armed Servcices Committee. Mazie Hirono (D-Hawaii) defeated former Hawaii Gov. Linda Lingle (R) in the race for Akaka's Senate seat.
Claire McCaskill (D-Mo.), who won re-election against a challenge from Todd Akin (R), will continue as chairwoman of the Subcommittee on Contracting Oversight, with Ranking Member Rob Portman (R-Ohio). She will also continue leadership of the Readiness and Management Support Subcommittee of the Senate Armed Services Committee.
Armed Services Committees
Senate Armed Services Member Jim Webb (D-Va.) is retiring this year. He's the chairman of the Personnel Subcommittee and, with the retirements of Lieberman and Akaka, McCaskill is the next senior member.
Two former Virginia governors squared off for Webb's soon-to-be vacant seat — Tim Kaine (D) and George Allen. Kaine was the victor at the end of the night.
House Armed Services Chairman Buck McKeon (R-Calif.) and Ranking Member Adam Smith (D-Wash.) both won their re-election bids.
Appropriations and Budget Committees
On the House Appropriations Committee, Ranking Member Norm Dicks (D-Wash.) is retiring and both Marchy Kaptur (D-Ohio) and Nita Lowey (D-N.Y.) are in the running to succeed him. They both won on Tuesday.
Democratic and Republican leaders on the Senate Appropriations Committee were not up for re-election this year. However, because Republicans were unable to win the Senate, Thad Cochran (R-Miss.) is expected to step down as ranking member due to term limits.
Although Rep. Paul Ryan (R-Wis.), the chairman of the House Budget Committee, lost his bid to be the next vice president, he won the race to retain his House seat. While his term limit for serving as chairman is expiring at the end of the year, he is all but certain to receive a waiver from House leadership to keep his post.
On the Senate side, Patty Murray (D-Wash.), who served on last year's unsuccessful deficit-cutting supercommittee, is next in line for the chairmanship of the Budget Committee, following Kent Conrad's (D-N.D.) retirement at the end of the year.
Analysts see missed opportunity for Republicans
Tom Davis, a former Republican congressman from Northern Virginia, now with Deloitte Consulting, said the results represent a missed opportunity for Republicans.
"The fact that Republicans weren't able to move the needle I think says a lot about the state of American politics this year for the Democrats," he said. "The Senate will stay Democratic. The presidency will stay Democratic, and the House is going to stay decisively Republican."
Senate Democrats kept their majority of 54 seats and the Republicans ended the night with 45 seats, CBS reports. Republicans retained control of the House with 232 seats compared to the Democrats' 192, according to CNN projections as of Wednesday afternoon.
In the Senate, incumbent Sen. Scott Brown (R-Mass.) lost to Elizabeth Warren (D). Angus King (I) won the race to succeed outgoing incumbent Olympia Snowe (R-Maine). In Indiana, Democrat Joe Donnelly defeated Republican candidate Richard Mourdock, who beat long-time Sen. Richard Lugar (R-Ind.) in the Republican primary. Sen. Claire McCaskill (D-Mo.) successfully staved off a challenge from Todd Akin (R).

Requires Jobs, Energy, and Cost Analysis of EPA Rules
Link to S. 609, 'CARE ACT'
Link to Section by Section of 'CARE ACT'
Washington, D.C.- Sen. James Inhofe (R-Okla.), Ranking Member of the Senate Committee on Environment and Public Works, and Sen. Mike Johanns (R-Neb.), introduced today the Comprehensive Assessment of Regulations on the Economy (CARE) Act, which requires the Environmental Protection Agency, in conjunction with other relevant federal departments and agencies, to determine the total cost of several major rules EPA is preparing to issue.
To date, EPA has refused to conduct an analysis examining the total economic impact of its rules on jobs; retail electricity rates and gasoline prices; power plant closures; state and local governments; small businesses; electric reliability; and energy-intensive manufacturers.
Senator Inhofe: "EPA continues to propose and promulgate rules at a break-neck pace without a complete and accurate understanding of their impacts on consumers, jobs, and small businesses. EPA's proposed utility MACT today could, by itself, shut down up to 20 percent of America's coal-fired power capacity. When you add in all of the rules and regulations from EPA's cap-and-trade agenda, the outlook for jobs and economic growth looks dire.
"This bill is about transparency: the public needs to know the full cost of these rules and the impacts when they fill up at the pump and flip the light switch. It will also help guide and inform Congress as it decides how best to deal with the unprecedented barrage of rules coming out of EPA."
The CARE bill would establish a federal committee, led by the Department of Commerce, to conduct this analysis. The committee would include, among others, the EPA Administrator, the Secretaries of Agriculture, Energy, Defense, and Labor, the Chairman of the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, as well as the Chief Counsel for Advocacy of the Small Business Administration. The committee would examine the economic impacts of several EPA regulations on:
- employment, including job levels in each segment of the economy and each region of the United States, including coal-producing regions;
- economic development, including production levels and labor demands in manufacturing, commercial, and other sectors of the economy;
- the electric power sector, including potential impacts on electric reliability, energy security, and retail electricity rates;
- the domestic refining and petrochemical sector, including potential impacts on supply, international competitiveness, and wholesale and retail transportation fuels, heating oil and petrochemicals prices; and
- State and local governments, including potential impacts on governmental operations and local communities from any reductions in State and local tax revenues
The rules the committee would examine would include, among others:
- Maximum Achievable Control Technology (MACT) standards for power plants;
- National Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS) for particulate matter and ozone;
- New Source Performance Standards (NSPS) for greenhouse gases covering utilities and refineries;
- Prevention of Significant Deterioration (PSD) preconstruction review permits for greenhouse gases;
- Cooling water intake structures under 316(b) of the Clean Water Act
- Regional Haze; and
- Coal Combustion Waste under the Solid Waste Disposal Act

(Superior, Wis.) ~ AMSOIL INC., the First in Synthetics, continues its support of dirt track racing in the Midwest as the new title sponsor of the Superior Speedway at the Head of the Lakes fairgrounds on the south end of the city. The sponsorship agreement will offer up naming rights to the facility and the track formerly known as Superior Speedway will now, for the next three years at least, be known as AMSOIL Speedway.
"We are very excited to have AMSOIL on board with us in our new venture at Superior," said Speedway promoter Joe Stariha. "With the great changes that we have already made at the speedway this agreement brings even more stability to the track this year and for years to come. With AMSOIL being such a great business in Superior and being so involved in the racing industry. We look forward to having a great relationship with the entire AMSOIL crew for years to come."
Attention Superior Speedway / Proctor Speedway Pure Stock drivers:
New for the 2011 season at both tracks, Raceceiver 1-way radios will be mandatory for you to compete at either the Superior Speedway in Superior, WI or the Proctor Speedway in Proctor, MN. Superior Speedway Race Director Chris Stepan said 'Raceceivers help ensure the safety of our drivers and also help speed up the lineup process during cautions. All racers in all divisions should use them, as they really do help with alerting drivers of potential problems on the race track and help track officials ensure a speedy show.'

Comments about Shimano Deore M525A Hub:
Perfect hub for commuting/touring. Just as durable if not more durable than Shimano's higher end hubs. I love that the hub doesn't use sealed bearings so it is completely rebuildable and adjustable. When you ride hundreds of miles a week, or more, this is critical.

Comments about Shimano Deore M525A Hub:
My review is of the front hub, I have no experience with the free hub. The large diameter flanges on this hub make for shorter spokes & give a nice stiff wheel that rolls well.

Eben Etzebeth had an outstanding first season of professional rugby.
In 2011, Etzebeth played for the University of Cape Town in the Varsity Cup. In 2012, he became a Springbok regular.
The second rower, who turned 21 on 29 October, was a deserved winner of the SA Young Player of the Year award. A product of the WP Rugby Institute, he had no problem making the step up to Super Rugby in February and his selection for the Springboks in June, for the Test series against England, was a no-brainer.
Etzebeth has inevitably drawn comparisons with former Bok lock Bakkies Botha, as both perform an enforcer-type role, but the Stormers lock has a calmness and measured aggression that Botha did not have at the same age.
It's scary to think how good he could become.
In the new issue of SA Rugby magazine, Saru high performance manager Rassie Erasmus explains why the Botha comparison makes him 'uncomfortable', what makes Etzebeth such an imposing player and why he doesn't believe the youngster will stagnate.
Heyneke Meyer talks about what he likes about Etzebeth, the one thing that worries him about him, and why he came down hard on him following the Nathan Sharpe headbutt.
SA Rugby magazine also asks Etzebeth about his rookie season, the Botha comparison, the Sharpe headbutt, his Test preparations and his toughest opponent.
Also in the new issue:
– Pat Lambie insists he has not been frustrated during his time with the Springboks this year and is happy to play flyhalf or fullback
– The Springbok goal-kickers had failed to transfer their success on the training field to the high-pressure Test arena going into the end-of-year tour
– Central contracts: Why South Africa's top players must be contracted to Saru and not to their provincial unions
– The Blitzboks made a promising start to the new sevens season
– Former Sharks scrumhalf Rory Kockott has let his rugby do the talking at French club Castres
– Jaque Fourie aims to resurrect his Springbok career in 2015 once he's fulfilled his Japanese club obligations

I saw this ring on sidestone engagement ring page on JamesAllen.com and loved it. The diamonds are so beautifully cut and the size proportions between the diamonds on the band, the sidestones and the center stone are just right. Buying the ring went really smoothly. It was a pleasure to work with Eileen who worked out all the details for me and guideded me through the deal.

Perfect! I felt like I was in a store actually buying my diamond as oppose to buying it online. Every question I had was answered promptly and the gemologist review of my top three ring options was very helpful! The ring is gorgeous! Each diamond is more beautiful than the next. I can't believe how good the quality is, for such a reasonable price! I would definitely recommend James Allen to any potential customer looking to purchase their first diamond or just add to their collection.

The quality of this ring is superb. Customer service helped me pick out a .71 ct center stone and it turned out great. The cut is excellent and despite being large, the ring is very comfortable. The proportion between the center stone and the side stone is balanced and pleasing to the eye.

Luv this ring and couldn`t be happier! This ring is head to toe sparkle! My husband knew I wanted a 3 stone ring but I didn`t expect a ring with more side stone on the band and I couldn`t be happier! Thanks James Allen!
(Feb 13, 2012)
I just received my ring and could not be more thrilled. Sal worked with us and he was unbelievably accomodating, patient and professional with a true desire to make sure we got exactly what we wanted! The ring is so beautiful I can`t stop smiling and staring at it! I would recommend James Allen to anyone who is looking for an exceptional, beautiful high quality diamond engagement ring! Thank you!

I purchased this ring last week for my soon to be fiancee and it arrived yesterday, right on time as expected. I had a very positive experience with James Allen. Customer service was incredibly friendly and knowledgeable and helped me along every step of the way. The ring is exactly what I wanted and not to sound cheesy, but I am counting the days til I can propose to her.
(Nov 14, 2011)
My fiance and I loved working with JamesAllen.com. They were so helpful with everything. We called customer service at least 10 times and each time the rep was patient and well-informed. I finally chose this ring. It arrived yesterday, no problems at all. It is just beautiful and fits perfectly. We will definitely be back on the site for our wedding bands as well!

My finace gave me this ring yesterday and I am still in utter shock. The ring is absolutely stunning. This is by far one of the most beautiful diamond rings I have seen. The design complements the center-stones and makes the entire ring that much more sparkly. I am so happy and can't wait to show it off for the rest of my life! Thanks to JamesAllen and Devin, my husband-to-be!

Asteroid, meteorite hit show Earth is not protected
Nasha gazeta
The meteorite's contrail is seen Friday in this frame grab from a dashboard camera in the Chelyabinsk region of Russia.
Boris Kaulin / Associated Press
A resident repairs a window broken by a shock wave from a meteorite explosion in Chelyabinsk, Russia, on Friday.
Associated Press
A hole in the ice of Chebarkul Lake where the meteorite reportedly struck near Chelyabinsk, Russia, on Friday.
The Buzz: Looney tunes
The meteor that streaked across the Russian sky Friday startled scientists worldwide with its audacity, even as it triggered a window-and roof-rattling shockwave that injured more than 1,000 people in the city of Chelyabinsk.
Astronomers on Friday had their eyes skyward on a separate object, the much larger asteroid known as 2012 DA14. It was coincidence that it came so close to Earth at the same time a meteoroid flamed into the atmosphere over Russia's Ural Mountains, NASA scientists said.
Still, scientists are paying attention to the paths of future near-Earth objects. One nonprofit space research foundation plans an infrared telescope that will be able to detect more meteorites that have potential to inflict damage on world cities.
"This is public safety. We're doing this because we believe it needs to be done," said former Apollo astronaut Rusty Schweickart, the chairman emeritus of the B612 Foundation, a nonprofit dedicated to protecting Earth from asteroids. Its name comes from the children's book by Antoine de Saint-Exupery. B612 is the asteroid home cared for by the Little Prince.
There is no surefire system to scan the skies for threatening asteroids, particularly ones that came in at the angle of the meteor over Russia. So in the near future, the best hope is better monitoring of the meteorites that, typically, orbit in a belt between Mars and Jupiter.
Science also has few options for knocking incoming asteroids off course, which was part of the early work done by the B612 Foundation. Scientists are researching how to avoid a major asteroid impact, but they have nothing workable yet.
Scientists, led by NASA, track thousands of such near-Earth objects. They're only a fraction of the asteroids in the solar system, however. There are about 500,000 near-Earth asteroids the size of 2012 DA14. Of those, less than 1 percent have been found, NASA said.
Until 20 years ago, there was even less ability to track them -- and Asteroid 2012 DA14 itself was discovered by amateur astronomers at the La Sagra Sky Survey operated by the Astronomical Observatory of Mallorca in Spain.
The gaps in knowledge are precisely why B612 was founded, Schweickart said. They have plans to deploy in 2018 an infrared space telescope; its purpose will be to discover asteroids that could do serious damage to Earth.
Their telescope still would be unable to capture asteroids the size of the one that entered the atmosphere near Chelyabinsk, Schweickart said. But it will capture many more of those the size of Asteroid 2012 DA14.
"The purpose is to discover most -- we're not going to get all -- of the asteroids that are out there," Schweickart said. "All of them are much bigger than the one that hit Russia this morning. I'm not counting things that break glass, I'm talking about things that will wipe out cities or more."
There's little appetite in Congress right now to increase spending, but Friday's double-whammy may have changed some minds.
"As the world leader in space exploration, America has made great progress for mankind," said the chairman of the Science, Space, and Technology Committee, Rep. Lamar Smith, R-Texas. "But our work is not done. We should continue to study, research and explore space to better understand our universe and better protect our planet."
It's also a matter of national security, said Rep. Rush Holt, D-N.J., a physicist and the former assistant director of the Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory.
He cited congressional testimony from 2002, when a meteor exploded over the Mediterranean at a time of particularly tense relations between India and Pakistan. If the meteor had exploded over India or Pakistan, one military leader warned, it might have been misidentified as a nuclear attack.
"There should be some tens of millions in annual funding in order to meet the goal that Congress has set, which is to follow anything of significance in the asteroid/meteor category," Holt said. "And we're not doing anything close to that."
And yet, Smith said, "Fifty years ago, we would have had no way of seeing an asteroid like this coming."
Astronomers were giddy Friday as NASA broadcast live from one of the best space-viewing points in the world, the Gingin Observatory near Perth, Australia.
"What an exciting day. It's like a shooting gallery," said Paul Chodas of NASA's Near-Earth Object program at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory in California. "We have two rare events of near-objects approaching the Earth on the same day."
The two objects had different trajectories, and the asteroid monitored worldwide on Friday was much larger -- about the length of half a football field.
The asteroid was the closest known -- or accurately predicted -- object of its size to fly by Earth. Unlike the Russian meteor, scientists were aware of it and accurately predicted that it would come closer than some weather and communication satellites but leave them unharmed. Those satellites orbit about 23,000 miles up; the meteorite came within about 17,000 miles from Earth.
There was never a risk the large asteroid would collide with Earth, but if one of its size were to hit here, "its crater would be larger than Monaco," astrophysicist Neil deGrasse Tyson, host of the "StarTalk" radio program, said Friday on Twitter.
Smaller meteorites crash to Earth daily -- they can be seen as "shooting stars." But most aren't found, said Marc Fries, a research associate at Smithsonian's Museum of Natural History. Many fall into the ocean, which covers 70 percent of the Earth. Or they enter the atmosphere in remote places where they go unseen.
Few are as dramatic or as big as the one caught on video in Russia. Thanks to the dashboard-mounted cameras that many Russians use to deter police corruption, the asteroid's meteoric path was filmed from cars.

The Stem Cell Initiative, also known as CureMichigan, appeared on the November 2008 ballot as Proposal 2. The amendment enacted the allowance of the donation of embryos produced in fertility clinics that would otherwise be discarded, and the allowance of researchers to create embryonic stem cell cultures to study disease. It would allow government funding of stem-cell research. Human cloning would continue to be illegal.
This measure is an initiated constitutional amendment.
Election results
|Michigan Stem Cell Initiative:
|Total votes
Results according to the Michigan Secretary of State[1]
The initiative is sponsored by the Stem Cell Research Ballot Question Committee (BCQ). The same committee tried to get a similar stem cell initiative on the 2006 ballot but failed to collect sufficient signatures. Former Speaker Rich Johnson and former Congressman Joe Schwarz have been supporters of the initiative as well.[2]
The group believes that stem-cell research could lead to cure for Parkinson's, spinal cord injuries, and juvenile diabetes.
Former President Bill Clinton endorsed Proposal 2 and is helping to raise money for the campaign to pass the measure.[3]
Clinton called the measure "pro-life, pro-health, pro-science and definitely pro-Michigan." He added, "It's not a fight between Republicans and Democrats, not a fight between the Left and the Right, and it's certainly not a fight between pro-life and pro-choice."[4]
Michigan joins North Dakota, South Dakota, Louisiana, and Arkansas in having the nation's most restrictive laws on stem cell research. Scientists in Michigan who use human embryos for stem cell research can face 10 years in prison and up to a $10 million fine, according to the Michigan Stem Cell Research Ballot Question Committee.
Medical News Today endorsed the measure in an Ocober editorial, noting that the embryonic stem cell research ban damages the ability of the University of Michigan, one of the "leading stem cell research centers," to conduct cutting-edge embryonic stem cell research and to recruit leading researchers.[5]
Kristina Wilfore of the Ballot Initiative Strategy Center, a national organization that advocates for liberal ballot measures, has written that "progressives should feel good" about the initiative.[6]
Study shows big benefits
A new study from Michigan Prospect, a public policy group, indicates that embryonic stem cell research could help hundreds of thousands of people in Michigan, save millions per year in health care costs, and create jobs in the state's growing biotech economy.[7]
The study looked at seven common illnesses that embryonic stem cells could potentially treat: Type I diabetes, Parkinson's disease, acute heart attack, stroke, Alzheimer's disease, spinal cord injury, and Lou Gehrig's disease.[7]
Allen Goodman, the study's lead author and a Wayne State University economics professor, said that more than 770,000 people in Michigan had those illnesses in 2006 and that advances derived from stell-cell research could shave $80 million off the $8-billion annual treatment costs.[7]
"Because we are one of five states, the largest of five states that make this research difficult, 1% is a conservative estimate," he said. "It's a small, but positive impact, here in Michigan."[7]
The study is based on research that would be funded privately or through institutional funds. Goodman said if the state invested in the research, the potential savings would be higher.[7]
Relaxed restrictions on embryonic stem cell research would create about 443 well-paying jobs, Goodman said, and 354 jobs in other sectors as a result. Researchers have said Michigan's restrictions make it difficult to attract top biomedical talent. "An environment that forbids you to do something sends you away," said Jim Eliason, an adult stem cell researcher at WSU and a consultant to the study.[7]
The study was funded by foundations, unions, and education groups, including Michigan Citizens for Embryonic Stem Cell Research and Cures.[7]
Michigan Citizens Against Unrestricted Science & Experimentation (MiCAUSE) is leading the opposition campaign. The group is co-chaired by State Sen. Tom George (R-Kalamazoo) and Patricia McDonald.[8]
"This proposal is deceptive and is hazardous because it will allow unregulated and unrestricted experimentation on human embryos," said George, a practicing physician.[8]
McDonald added, "As a cancer patient and former head of a nonprofit health care organization, I'm concerned about the false promises made by promoters of this proposal."[8]
Right to Life Michigan and the Michigan Catholic Conference have also organized to oppose the issue. While the groups support stem cells taken from adults or umbilical cords, they oppose the methods that include the destruction of embryos.
Right to Life is planning a statewide ad blitz campaign, spending $200,000, hoping to dissuade petition signers. The Michigan Catholic Conference is starting an informational campaign and mailing it to 500,000 households.
Campaign funding
In the final weeks leading up to the November election, both sides have raised significant sums for their campaigns. As of Oct. 24, 2008, Cure Michigan had raised $8.3 million, with $2 million of that coming in between Oct. 20th and Oct. 24th. MiCAUSE had raised $3.7 million for the opposition campaign as of Oct. 19, 2008, with about $1.2 million more coming in between Oct. 20th and Oct. 24th.[9]
Cure Michigan raised $2.2 million between Jan. 1 and Sept. 18, 2008, and spent almost all of it to get the issue on the ballot. Among its largest donors are the Karmanos Cancer Institute, Quicken Loans Chairman Dan Gilbert, the A. Alfred Taubman Restated Trust, philanthropist Robert Thompson, and former Blue Cross Blue shield of Michigan leader Richard Whitmer.[10]
MiCAUSE, which opposes to Proposal 2, raised $594,000 between its formation in Summmer 2008 and Sept. 18, 2008. Most of the contributions came from the Michigan Catholic Conference ($500,000) and Right to Life of Michigan ($35,000).[10] [11]
Television ads pro and con
The Cure Michigan campaign launched their ad campaign Sept. 26, 2008, running a 30-second ad that attacks an ad being run by Michigan Citizens Against Unrestricted Science and Experimentation, which opposes the measure. The opponents ad says that the proposal would be costly for taxpayers. But the Cure Michigan ad says that charge is a lie and that the measure doesn't call for "one cent of taxpayer money."[12]
While Michigan Citizens Against Unrestricted Science and Experimentation acknowledges that the measure doesn't directly call for taxpayer funds, they say that supporters of the measure have said that they intend to seek goivernment funding for stem cell research.[12]
One of MiCAUSE's anti-Proposal 2 ads claims that the initiative would entice for-profit companies to establish research-and-development operations in Michigan where they would be able to conduct unrestricted stem cell experimentation. Ominous music plays while the logos and headquarter facades of fictitious corporations with names like Embrolux, HumanHarvest and Cloneway flash across the screen.[13]
State medical society takes neutral position
The Michigan Medical Society took a neutral position on this ballot measure, as well as on two other initiatives related to health care (the Health Care for Michigan Initiative and the Coalition for Compassionate Care Initiative) at its annual delegates meeting in early May 2008.[14]
Poll shows voter support
- See also Polls, 2008 ballot measures.
A Detroit Free Press/Local 4 poll taken from Oct. 28 to Oct. 31, 2008, showed 51% of respondents approving the measure, with 40% opposed. That indicates a drop in support from a late September poll conducted for the same media outlets.
The poll, conducted by Selzer & Co. Inc. of Des Moines, Iowa, had a sample of 616 people and has a margin of error of plus or minus 4%.[15]
An Oct. 26-28 poll of 600 likely voters by EPIC-MRA for the Detroit News and TV stations WXYZ, WILX, WOOD and WJRT found 46% favoring the stem cell proposal and 44% opposed. That poll also had a margin of error of plus or minus 4%.[16]
A Detroit Free Press/Local 4 Michigan Poll conducted Sept. 22-24, 2008, showed 58% of respondents in favor of Proposal 2, with 31% opposed and 11% undecided. The poll was based on telephone interviews with 602 likely voters and has a margin of error of plus or minus 4 percentage points.[17]
The measure was certified for the November ballot on Aug. 21, 2008, as Proposal 2.[18] Supporters submitted more than 570,000 signatures on July 7, 2008. At least 380,126 valid signatures are required to earn the measure a place on the November ballot.[19] [20] [21]
The initiative was officially announced on January 24th and the language was submitted to the Michigan Secretary of State on January 30th.[22]

As the state's Republican Party began a push toward tax reform, Grover Norquist and representatives of Americans for Prosperity traveled the state Thursday campaigning for reduced income tax.
They stopped by the Times-News to share some of their ideas, including eliminating income tax and reliance on sales taxes to fund government.
Norquist is the president of Americans for Tax Reform, a Washington, D.C.-based organization that advocates for low, flat-rate taxes and less government spending. Americans for Prosperity is a conservative political advocacy group founded by the Koch brothers of Koch Industries to push for less government spending and regulation on businesses. Dallas Woodhouse is AFP's North Carolina director.
House Republicans offered their tax reform plan Thursday to reduce personal and corporate income tax rates and expand the sales tax to cover more services. The sales tax rate would fall from 6.75 percent to 6.65 percent and the number of income tax brackets would be reduced from three to one. A Senate outline proposes broadening the sales-tax base further than the House plan. Both plans aim for a $1.2-billion tax cut over five years.
"I think it's a good step in the right direction," Norquist told the Times-News. "North Carolina has to move in this direction to be competitive" with states like Tennessee, Texas and Florida, which have no corporate or personal income taxes.
Norquist said that a state with no or very low corporate income taxes would be better for recruiting business "than offering a wad of cash" as an incentive to relocate here. States and local governments often offer deep temporary tax breaks for businesses that relocate to areas.
Norquist said state GOP leaders need to get business leaders to publicly support a zero-rate income tax. Public statements committing to that strategy would add momentum to job growth and in-state investment.
AFP is sponsoring Norquist's statewide tour to promote tax reform. The tour included rallies in Raleigh and Charlotte on Thursday.
Woodhouse said the state's 6.9-percent corporate income tax and 6.75 percent personal income tax aren't working and have led to a "stubbornly high unemployment rate compared to our neighbors."
North Carolina's unemployment rate was at 9.2 percent in March. Tennessee's was 7.9 percent, Virginia's was at 5.3 percent and Georgia and South Carolina's were at 8.4 percent.
Woodhouse said all tax deductions and credits built into North Carolina's current tax code "should be on the table" for elimination or reduction.
"If your goal is to get to zero income taxes over time … you don't need deductions on something you don't have," Norquist added.
Opponents of a consumption-based tax reform and broad-based tax cuts say they are harsh on low-income and working-class families and that they cause detrimental cuts to education and necessary services.
The N.C. Justice Center, a liberal-leaning advocacy group, pointed out Thursday that a $1.2-billion cut over five years is equal to the state's entire budget for community colleges.
Norquist doubted that any tax reform bill would pass or get signed in Washington under Obama's presidency because the ideologies are too far apart. He thinks tax reform now must begin at the state level before it gains momentum nationally.
The Associated Press reported Thursday that the House plan lowers personal income tax rate of 6- to 7.75 percent – to a flat 5.9 percent rate beginning in 2014. The corporate income tax rate would fall from 6.9 percent to 6.75 percent in 2014. The Senate wants to phase down the personal income tax rate to 4.5 percent over three years and the corporate income tax rate to 6 percent in three years. Sales taxes in that plan would drop to 6.5 percent.

Customer Raves & Reviews
Exactly what I wanted!
For my winter wedding I wanted simple and elegant invitations. I was hesitant about ordering some online without looking at samples in fear that the product that I would receive would be cheaply made. I was so relieved when they came in the mail. the print was perfectly legible and the textured paper was great quality as well. I would highly recommend this product and other products from the website. The matching items that I ordered that were also amazing was the magnet save the dates, rsvps, address labels and return envelopes.
Invitations were perfect!
I could not have been happier with my wedding invitations and response cards. The quality and print were excellent. Some of my friends said these were the nicest invitations they had ever seen! I really liked that I could change the color of the background and the wording to match my wedding colors. Ordering was so easy and the invitations came much faster than I was expecting. I give my experience with MagnetStreet an A++ and highly recommend your products and service. Thank you for making this such a wonderful experience for me!

Luke Watson says he would be open to representing the Springboks again and believes they are in a stronger position than any other team to win the World Cup.
Watson was speaking in Cape Town en route to Port Elizabeth where he will commence duty with the EP Kings after two years at Bath in the Premiership.
He left South Africa in late 2009 having established a reputation for being outspoken on a range of issues, most notably representing the Springboks. At a dinner at University of Cape Town Rugby Club, he was alleged to have said, among other things, that he felt like vomiting on the Bok jersey when he debut in 2007 because of what it represented.
Although it was never confirmed that he said this, many of the senior Springboks, who had been vehemently opposed to his late inclusion in the 2007 World Cup training squad, used the claims to further justify their dislike and disregard for him.
Watson, whose father Cheeky was a prominent activist during the struggle years, intimated that his thinking and attitude at the time had been influenced by others. He, however, suggested that he returns a different person.
'I grew up in a fundamentally different environment to most – every word was watched, every decision I made monitored,' Watson told keo.co.za. 'I remember being interviewed by CNN at the age of 10 and asked whether I support the Springboks. I said "yes", but was quickly rapped over the knuckles by the powers that be because it wasn't the correct thing to do politically.
'I never really had an opportunity to establish my own identity and make my own decisions. These 18 months in Bath have been incredibly beneficial in that regard. It's given me the opportunity to assess the things that I value.
'It's easy for me to sit here and tell you how mature I have become. But I can only hope that over the next few years you will notice that there are certain values and principles have have been altered. I'm still going to be the Luke Watson that speaks from my heart, not too worried about the consequences that come with the truth. I'm not going to shy away from any issues because of opposition I've received in the past.
'Yes there are things that I still don't agree with at a national and regional level. But if I do get the opportunity to represent my country again I will do so very proudly.'
Watson is unlikely to force his way into the Springbok World Cup squad, and never gave the impression that he expected to. But that didn't stop him from sharing his views on where they stand at present.
'As far as talent squad and depth goes, I don't think any team can match the Springboks,' he said. 'If the All Blacks lose Dan Carter or Richie McCaw there are big, big holes to fill. We're not in the same situation. Most of our players are very easily replaceable. We're in a very strong position if the right team is selected and managed correctly.'
Watson added: 'I'd like to see a couple of the youngsters who haven't got an opportunity to play Test rugby get that chance before the World Cup. For example, for me it's ridiculous that Duane Vermeulen hasn't played any Tests. He has been the most consistent loose forward in the last two or three seasons of Super Rugby. Yes we have great loose forwards, but surely you have to find an opportunity somewhere for him.
'Also, I'd like to see Pat Lambie play two or three Tests at 10. Peter Grant deserves an opportunity as well. We've seen what Morné Steyn can do, but we should go to the World Cup knowing that we have options in terms of playing different styles against different teams.'
The 27-year-old, who will compete with Eastern Province in the Currie Cup First Division and Vodacom Cup (in 2012) until the Kings' entry into Super Rugby in 2013, said he wasn't available to any other franchise in 2012.
Watson acknowledged the prevailing perception that he was taking a massive step backwards in his career, but explained the decision, saying: 'I was in heaven in Bath, earning pounds and captaining the side. Life was easy. I could have stayed in Bath and taken comfortable, easy route. But I knew there was something greater that I could achieve.
'I understand that people would look at the move from one of the top sides in Europe to playing Currie Cup First Division as a step down and a risk. But I look at the long-term potential of this decision, especially its ability to uplift a community and region. Sure there are a lot of things that are not ideal. But there are a lot more that are.
'I really believe that the players and the resources are there for the Kings to be successful. It's incredibly difficult to keep the talented players in the Eastern Cape without a Super Rugby franchise. The Kings solve that problem, although I appreciate that it will take time [to hold on to the region's best players].'

GARETH DUNCAN looks at the Saffas who impressed in Europe over the weekend.
Toulouse have proved to be the top French club this season. At the halfway mark of their domestic campaign, the defending champions head the Top 14 table with a six log point lead above Clermont, while they also hold first place in Pool 6 of the European Cup with three wins from four.
Toulouse's South African contingent of hooker Gary Botha, props Daan Human and Gurthro Steenkamp and No 8 Shaun Sowerby have contributed to this impressive form. While Botha (broken leg) and Human (broken eye socket) are sidelined with recent serious injuries, Sowerby and Steenkamp helped the team to their sixth straight domestic win, a 51-10 thrashing of scrumhalf Ricky Januarie's Lyon.
Sowerby was the standout forward at the Stade Ernest Wallon, especially on attack as he rushed 63m with ball in hand (the most by a forward), completed four offloads (the most in the game) and scored one of Toulouse's five tries. The one-time Springbok also made five tackles and was a key figure in the lineouts. Steenkamp was solid up front when he came off the bench early in the second half.
Elsewhere in France, flanker Gerhard Vosloo played the full 80 minutes in Clermont's crucial 25-19 comeback win over No 8 Joe van Niekerk and reserve lock Bakkies Botha's Toulon. Wing Sam Gerber's try wasn't enough to help Bayonne as they lost 27-20 at home to scrumhalf Heini Adams' Bordeaux. Lock Rob Linde also featured for the hosts.
Former WP centre Paul Bosch and former Lions and Bulls hooker Erasmus van Vuuren started in Montpellier's 23-9 away victory over Brive, who had centre Riaan Swanepoel, wing Ronnie Cooke, lock Retief Uys and No 8 Antonie Claassen in their run-on XV.
In the English Premiership, Saffa-laden Saracens made valuable ground on log leaders Harlequins as they recorded a 26-19 win over flanker Francois Louw and scrumhalf Michael Claassens' Bath in Watford. Hooker John Smit, prop Matt Stevens, lock Mouritz Botha, No 8 Ernst Joubert, centre Brad Barritt, reserve prop Petrus du Plessis and replacement No 8 Justin Melck all featured for the victors. Saracens are second in the standings, three log points behind Harlequins who lost 24-3 to reserve prop Brian Mujati's Northampton Saints.
London Irish prop Faan Rautenbach came off the bench to play a part in his team's late 21-19 win over Sale Sharks.
In the Pro 12, scrumhalf Ruan Pienaar kicked four penalties and two conversions in Ulster's 42-20 win over Edinburgh at Murrayfield. Lock Johann Muller and No 8 Pedrie Wannenburg also started in the win. Munster props Wian du Preez and BJ Botha fronted their club's 29-11 triumph over Treviso.
