Good shit! But damn, that's crazy how it's actually Large Professor who produced "Trag Invasion" and "Game Type" on the Inteligent Hoodlum album in '90, yet Marley only gave Large the co-producer credit. Marley was always fucked up like that. *shaking head*Comment by Shaun D. aka Wicked 08.19.10 @
I'd definitely be interested in hearing today's going rates for new producers as well as, what veteran producers are making now in comparison to what they were 10 years ago. Hell, even 5 years ago for that matter. I heard 2 recent stories from valid sources that said Mos Def paid all of the producers he used on "The Ecstatic" 10k each. I also heard that Jeezy pays everybody that he works with now, $500 per track.Comment by Kid Captain Coolout 08.19.10 @
dope. maybe rakim should hit large pro up and they break out that sp 1200 and s950 and get back to basics. cause the let the rhythem hit em album was a superb classic album.Comment by derrick 08.19.10 @
Paul is way too humble. Dope interview tho, 'bout that time (pun intended) he'll put out some new material.Comment by The Funkologist 08.20.10 @
Thanks for this. This whole exchange with Professor & the bros telling the story is reminder of the artisitic importance of true Hip Hop music. I'm still smiling!Comment by Pirate 7X 08.29.10 @
Shaun D, I hear but that's the biz then & now. My understanding its like when you work on an invention for a lab or company: you get paid to research but the company puts their name on it and gets most of loot. At least Large pro got some credit.
At the same time Marley always claimed to be more a remixer. Kane & G Rap say they would bring beats in and marley would shape a song out of it after vocals were laid. And if someone makes a beat that he produces in the studio and works on, he is the producer.

Curly Hair Solutions RevUp! Volumizing System2 x 8 oz. | Sulfate-Free Shampoo, Styler, Refresher
see all Curly Hair Solutions products
(Rated 4/5 based on 2 reviews) Login to add your review
This is truly an effective combo, however, I prefer to use just the spray, on wet hair. It gives my curls definition and I don't have to add any other styling products. Also, my coarse hair dries in about 3 hours! If I get any poofy spots, I can use the spray on dry hair to redefine the clumps. This does not get crunchy in the least, but it's slightly drying, so a leave-in conditioner is necessary for me. Which brings me to the shampoo...not a fan...mostly because it doesn't moisturize at all. I find this odd for a cleanser formulated for curly hair. It was difficult to detangle my hair even after putting on conditioner, and, as I discovered, the Rev Up spray has 0 detangling power. This shampoo made my hair a dry, knotted-up blob with huge snarls...some of which had to be ripped out. Not good at all. I'm going to give the shampoo to my mother or sister who both have wavy, softer hair than mine, because I think this is formulated well for fine hair. As far as the volumizing goes, I can't say I notice any difference, plus, my hair is curly to begin with, so it's hard to tell if this "revs up" my hair. However, it is excellent for definition and cutting drying time, and occasionaly it's nice to use only one styling product for an easy W&G.

Celeb Apple iPhone 4S ads vie with Samsung's for popularity
updated 03:25 pm EDT, Fri April 27, 2012
Ace Metrix says iPhone 4S, Gal Note ads get impact
Apple's new turn towards celebrity iPhone 4S ads is having an effect on viewers, Ace Metrix gauged Friday. The Zooey Deschanel and Samuel L. Jackson TV spots were the most effective ads of the week of April 20, beating out two Samsung Galaxy Note ads. They weren't the most effective ads so far in 2012, as one of Samsung's earliest feature-focused Galaxy Note ads from February just slightly pulled ahead.
Either company had five ads in the top ten most effective for the year so far.
The rankings suggest that Samsung's attacks on iPhone users were less less effective than following Apple's path and showing the device actually in use: despite having spent a reported $10 million on its Super Bowl commercial, Samsung only managed to get tenth place for its 90-second ad. All its high-scoring ads talk features.
The celebrity iPhone ads were cast as successful gambles by Apple. Celebrity ads can be "polarizing," but Apple had been careful enough to choose widely alluring actors to reach the most possible viewers.
Whether or not the new wave of ads has an effect isn't yet apparent. TV promo campaigns don't always translate to real sales and sometimes are more useful for keeping the company in the public eye than spurring extra demand.

Silverthorne, Colo. (AP) Some mountain residents are questioning a legislator's proposal to use tolls to ease ski traffic and other mountain highway congestion on Interstate 70.
State Senator Chris Romer, D-Denver, is pushing the Idea, and asking for online comments on it.
But some of his colleagues from the mountains say they fear their views and interests aren't being taken into consideration.
State Senator Dan Gibbs of Silverthorne commutes regularly to Denver on I-70. He says mountain residents need to be involved in decision making on this issue because it is vital to their lives.

I know, so are a lot of people but nobody else has asked so I thought I would. If you can't make a game please PM. I am a Devil's fan and I have bought tickets from some on here before for games and the player skate (I am sure my messages are still posted on the board since the player skate was late this year). I am not looking to resell them but rather take my son to the game. I am looking for 2 in the lower bowl preferably but beggers can't be choosers at the end of the day.
I was lucky enough to be able to buy tickets from the Devils today that came back. This thread can be closed

By NEMS Daily Journal
WASHINGTON, D.C. – Victims of the Stanford financial crash will learn in mid-September what an investor-backed fund will do to help them recover their losses.
Officials at Securities Investor Protection Corp. announced Friday its board of directors will announce on or about Sept. 15 whether it will help Stanford victims.
SIPC maintains a special reserve fund mandated by Congress to protect the customers of insolvent brokerage funds.
On June 15, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission asked SIPC to consider whether the Stanford matter was eligible for consideration under the Securities Investor Protection Act.
At that time, the SEC said some of the former Stanford investors fit its definition for assistance.
Some 30,000 Stanford investors worldwide lost nearly $8 billion in certificate of deposit purchases when the Stanford Group Co., operated by R. Allen Stanford, went belly-up in February 2009 under the weight of an SEC investigation.
The company was forced into a court-ordered receivership, which continues to liquidate Stanford properties for a victims' pool.
SIPC may help investors when a brokerage firm fails, owing customers cash and securities that are missing from customer accounts. SIPC either acts as trustee or works with an independent court-appointed trustee in a brokerage insolvency case to recover funds.
The statute that created SIPC provides that customers of a failed brokerage firm receive all non-negotiable securities – such as stocks or bonds – that are already registered in their names or in the process of being registered.

Augmented Reality Can't Touch This…or Can It?
There is a lot of talk about Augmented Reality (AR) and the opportunity it can be for printing firms. I happen to agree with it's potential and feel it is worthwhile to look into. For those unfamiliar with Augmented Reality, I suggest you read its definition on Wikipedia.
It is important to note that AR has many applications and print is just one way it can be used. Other ways such as using the camera on your phone to view the areas around you with something akin to an overlying grid of data about the buildings and places being seen. Another could be distance meeting spaces where people from all over the world meet in a real and virtual space. Imagine, if you will, three people in a room and six seats. Occupying the other three seats are people from various locations such as the next town over or the other side of the world. These three people are sitting at their desks with their computer camera capturing their image and displaying it in 3D on the seats at the conference table. This happens already in Virtual Worlds and AR is a similar technology in many ways.
To start your mind working on how printing and AR can be blended I invite you to view this video made in 2007. It describes how books and AR can be blended into an interactive experience
As you can see, he has a printed book without an AR element. What it does have are things to interact with—to move, to uncover, to feel. Having these elements built into books teaches children things like how the physical world works and what a lions fur feels like without having a live and potential fatal encounter with said lion.
Imagine how a book like the one in the video could behave when it has AR elements. When the child opens a panel, the scene changes as if a door were open. When they see a scene where tires are being made, they feel what rubber feels like. They experience things and have additional context to build their understanding of what it is to do that action or be in that situation. It is a very powerful and compelling combination that I do not see matched with just a computer or just a book.
To wrap this up, yes, there is opportunity for printers here. The opportunities are still being uncovered, but it is easy to see the book market taking advantage of AR. But, as you look deeper you see magazines, advertising, selling apps, trade show displays, cereal boxes and more all have strong potential for this technology. Bringing in the power of the physical world, like the ability to touch and feel, gives print a very powerful place in this emerging market.

BALTIMORE (AP) - Boston Red Sox third baseman Mike Lowell was
placed on the 15-day disabled list Tuesday with a strained right hip.
Lowell had fluid drained from his hip Monday in Boston, and received an injection designed to the surgically repaired joint.
The move is retroactive to June 28; Lowell had played in only two of Boston's last nine games and returned to Boston following Sunday night's game in Atlanta. The 35-year-old is batting .282 with 10 home runs and 41 RBIs.
The Red Sox filled the void by recalling first baseman/outfielder Jeff Bailey from Triple-A Pawtucket. Bailey played earlier this season with Boston, batting .188 with three homers and nine RBIs in 23 games before being optioned to Pawtucket on May 31.

Alamogordo Police Department arrested a 54-year-old man on Friday who they say sexually assaulted a woman in March.
Lt. Roger Schoolcraft said in a press release that Michael Cooper faces three counts of criminal sexual penetration and one count each of criminal sexual contact, kidnapping and battery.
Schoolcraft said in the release that Friday's arrest was the result of a lengthy investigation by police.
Cooper is accused of sexually assaulting a 59-year-old woman in the 3100 block of North White Sands Boulevard in March, Schoolcraft said in the release.
He said in the release that Cooper was being held at the Otero County Detention Center in lieu of a $250,000 bond. Lt. Tracy Corbett said Cooper and the alleged victim knew each other casually but were not in any kind of relationship.
She said Cooper allegedly threatened to use what the victim believed to be a knife during the attack.
Corbett said the victim was able to positively identify Cooper as the alleged assailant.
Schoolcraft said the attack did not appear to be a "random act of violence" as the alleged victim knew Cooper — albeit briefly — before the assault is alleged to have occurred.

MUNCIE, Ind. (AP): A consulting firm is recommending that Ball State University join other Mid-American Conference schools and require its students to live on campus during their sophomore year.
Consultant Doug Kozma with Ann Arbor, Mich.-based SmithGroupJJR says requiring second-year students to live on campus boosts student retention and improves academic performance and graduation rates. SmithGroupJJR is Ball State's consultant for its university master plan.
Ball State student affairs vice president Kay Bales tells The Star Press the university has "no imminent plans" to require second-year students to live on the Muncie campus, but it will review the proposal.
Ball State is like Indiana University and Indiana State University, which only require first-year students to live on campus. Other schools, including Butler University, keep students on campus through their junior year.

After our Monday morning league was cancelled due to strong winds (the ball was blown off the green)and cold temperatures,a group of four of us said what the heck let's play. We started with a shotgun start on hole nine. The wind was a two to three club wind and my round was mostly boggies and doubles with several three putts! We came to hole seven and Duane hit his 140 yard club to the 114 yard hole. I took out my 8 iron and hit my Titleist #1 NXT-Tour to the front of the green right on line with the pin. It took a high bounce and went in the hole! When I took the ball from the cup, Howard made the comment "At least you did not three putt". My first HOLE IN ONE! Regards, Darwin Bostic

Publication Type: Abstract Only
Publication Acceptance Date: March 5, 1999
Publication Date: N/A
Technical Abstract: Ammonia volatilization and phosphorus (P) runoff are two of the biggest environmental problems with animal manures. Research has shown that aluminum sulfate (alum) and phosphoric acid greatly reduce ammonia volatilization and affect P availability in fresh poultry litter; however, no studies have yet reported the effects of these amendments on composting litter. The objectives of this study were to measure ammonia volatilization from composting poultry litter and P runoff from fescue plots fertilized with composted and fresh poultry litter. Studies were conducted in 1997 and 1998. The treatments applied to poultry litter before composting in 1997 were: 1) control (no amendment); 2) phosphoric acid (2% by weight); 3) alum (10% by weight); 4) a microbial treatment; and 5) 5% alum plus the microbial treatment. Treatments for 1998 included: 1) control (no amendment); 2) phosphoric acid (1.5% by weight); 3) alum (7% by weight); and 4) a microbial treatment. Ammonia volatilization was monitored daily throughout the composting process. After composting, each of the above treatments, as well as fresh poultry litter and an unfertilized control, were used for the runoff study. Litter was applied at 8.98 Mg ha**-1 and rainfall simulators were used to produce a 5 cm hr**-1 rainfall event. Ammonia volatilization was significantly lower from alum and phosphoric acid-treated compost. Phosphorus concentrations in the runoff water were lower from alum-treated compost than all other fertilizer treatments.

Map Modernization meeting in Darlington County June 30
The S.C. Department of Natural Resources (DNR) Flood Mitigation Program will conduct the Post Preliminary DFIRM Community Coordination Meeting (PDCC) as part of the Map Modernization Program for Darlington County and its municipalities, at 1 p.m., June 30, 2010. The meeting will be held in the Pavilion at Lawton Park, 716 Prestwood Drive, Hartsville.
The Map Modernization Initiative is a 5-year, billion dollar project implemented by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) to update the nation's Flood Insurance Rate Maps (FIRM) on a countywide basis. FEMA, the National Service Provider, DNR, and local governments are working together to successfully accomplish the goals of the Map Modernization Initiative, which is to produce an accurate picture of the flood risk, to promote responsible growth and sound floodplain management. County and municipal personnel had been previously invited to a scoping meeting that was held in the above-mentioned county.
Contact the Flood Mitigation Program in Columbia at (803) 734-9420 for more information.
The PDCC meeting will serve to educate local officials on the Post Preliminary Phase of the Map Modernization Initiative and their responsibilities in its implementation within their jurisdiction. The Post Preliminary Phase includes the Appeals Period and Compliance Period in which localities will be required to review their recently updated flood insurance studies and update their current local flood damage prevention ordinance.

December 29, 2010—State Conservationist Eric B. Banks for the Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) has announced the cutoff date of March 4, 2011, for the Environmental Quality Incentives Program (EQIP) Organic Initiative.
Kansas farmers who are transitioning to organic agriculture or who are currently certified organic may apply for financial assistance through the EQIP to meet their conservation goals. They can receive up to $20,000 per year or $80,000 over six years. The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) NRCS in Kansas, which administers EQIP, is setting aside a separate pool of $1.4 million EQIP money to help Kansas organic farmers and those that are transitioning to organic production.
"EQIP has always been available for organic producers to treat resource concerns on their land," said Banks, "but the 2008 Farm Bill allows for dedicated funds to be set aside to assist organic producers. Hopefully, with the specific EQIP funding for the Organic Initiative, Kansas will have more organic crop acres enrolled across the state."
Applications for the EQIP Organic Initiative are taken continuously throughout the year, but to be considered for Fiscal Year (FY) 2011 funding with the Initiative, producers need to have an application signed and returned to their local NRCS office by March 4, 2011.
A number of conservation practices may be funded through the EQIP organic ranking category, including cover crops, crop rotations, fencing and watering for rotational grazing, pest management, and field borders. A conservation practice added in FY 2010 was for the establishment of a high tunnel. Producers who qualify could receive financial assistance for one high tunnel.
A fact sheet on EQIP Organic is available at www.ks.nrcs.usda.gov/programs.
Some participants are eligible to receive a higher payment rate; those are limited resource farmers, beginning farmers, and socially disadvantaged groups. For more information go to http://www.nrcs.usda.gov/programs/SLB_Farmer/.
Visit your local USDA Service Center and talk to the NRCS office staff about the details the EQIP Organic Initiative, conservation planning, and other programs to help you protect your farm.
For more information about EQIP, go to http://www.ks.nrcs.usda.gov/programs/eqip/ and click on Kansas 2011 EQIP information.

Crew Cut: Film Crews Remake Fave Action Sequences, Plus Live Battle Recaps feat TRFK, KOPS, Freddie Gibbs & Hip Hop Gamer
The latest edition of the Cut features a Crew who nailed a challenge to re-enact one of their favorite action movie sequences in GTA Online, a recap of the latest Crew vs. Crew Battle challenges that featured renowned stunters, accomplished Snapmatic photogs, Freddie Gibbs of the GTAV soundtrack and Hip Hop Gamer of Hot 97 - plus some exceptional Crew snaps and video creations as well.
In the most recent fan pictorial here at the Newswire, we featured some inspired pop culture recreations, including this scene from Pulp Fiction, courtesy of a member of the GTAAdventures (GTAA) Crew. Folks from the GTAA and the Brass Ballas (BRSS) Crew have now officially taken it to the next level by faithfully re-creating the intense opening scene from Skyfall with GTA Online gameplay. There's awesome attention to detail on display here - nailing the sniper scope shot and creating an impressive rendition of the modern 007's look. To see more of what GTAA are up to, you can check out their Crew page or their subreddit. Also from the world of Social Club Crews on reddit, the GTAVadventures (RDIT) Crew put together this four-minute-plus stacked highlight vid of stunts, jumps and a little bit of the lighter side of Los Santos.
Last Friday, two renowned Crews, the Traffickers (TRFK) and Le Kops (KOPS), did battle live on our Twitch channel in an action-packed Crew vs. Crew Battle which you can see a one-hour excerpt from above (see more clips at our Twitch archive). In between the 10 hand-picked Jobs that were played through, we had the opportunity to speak with TRFK Leader Anonamix, who broke down some of their excellent Snapmatic photos (including this award-winning Valentine's shot), and KOPS Leader and stunting connoisseur kwebbelkop. Despite great hustle from Le Kops (and member FeymHD missing second on the overall leaderboard by just one point), the battle was mostly one way traffic as TRFK took the win 945 - 822.
We've got lots more Crew vs. Crew battles lined up for the weeks ahead, including potential ones with the Killer Smoking Aces (XKSA), Killers On A Rampage (KOAR), The Legion GTA (TLGN), LS Mafia Family (LSMF) and Ganja Outlaws (WEED) Crews. Think your outfit has what it takes to face off in front of a Rockstar audience? Hit us up at firstname.lastname@example.com and be sure to include a link to your Crew page, your preferred platform and some details on why you think your Crew should bring it to a live stream audience.
FREDDIE GIBBS' ESGN CREW VS HIP HOP GAMER's OF HOT 97'S HHG SHOTS FIRED
Clockwise from Top Left: Freddie Gibbs deep in focus during a Deathmatch, HipHopGamer looks pleased with his performance in a Capture Job, Freddie taking on a car.
In town for a show highlighting Piñata, his new album with Madlib, GTAV soundtrack's Freddie Gibbs dropped by Rockstar NYC with some other members of his ESGN (ESGN) Crew to take on Hot 97's HipHopGamer and some of his mates in the HHGShotsFired (HHGS) Crew. Facing off in some recently Verified GTA Online Jobs and more, the afternoon was chock full of spirited battle and smack talk. Despite a valiant effort from Freddie and his Crew (including a special assist cameo from producer and GTA soundtrack alumnus Statik Selektah), ESGN fell short of HHGS' strong showing and the latter claimed victory. As HHG said himself during the bout, his reputation and namesake was on the line. If you missed the live stream, you can check out an archive of the match in its entirety.
Stay tuned as we're lining up more GTAV soundtrack artists and other notable GTA players to come do battle with their Crews live throughout the spring and summer, and later today we'll be live-streaming a standoff between the Australia Illuminati and Shine Thugz Crews - keep an eye on our Twitter feed or follow our TwitchTV channel to be notified when the broadcast begins.
One of the Street Seals (DCSS) Crew's dramatic Snapmatic shots.
The Street Seals (DCSS) Crew Mouthed Off recently to let us know about their squad and latest escapades. Describing their Crew as "not your normal MC," DCSS has a 21 person cap and will move out any meandering Muscle in favor of new members who pledge to be loyal. In order to even get in, you have to be unanimously (!) voted in by all members. Their Snapmatic gallery features some damn cool shots - their re-creation of the legendary Abbey Road album cover is superb. Also check out their most recent video, set to the familiar pulse pounding sounds of HEALTH's "TEARS" from the Max Payne 3 Soundtrack.
Côte d'Azur: The Domestic Battery (XDBX) Crew line 'em up in Crew blue for this group shot.
- on April 7 2014, 7:41pmOnce again a shout out to: @Anonamix, @kwebbelkop, @FeymHD, @hairybones1997, @JustHatched, @HOT_KIMERA who featured in this latest Crew Cut.
As always, we're glad to see Social Club members enthusiastically repping their respective Crews with Recruitment messages on the Noticeboard, just try to avoid repeatedly posting the same copy/paste message in your Crew pitch as that constitutes as spam, change it up and keep us interested.
Also, if you are experiencing any technical issues with GTA Online please direct them to us at https://support.rockstargames.com/hc/en-us for further assistance. Thanks all.

Apple to restart iPhone 4 production for India, Indonesia, Brazil
updated 09:24 am EST, Wed February 5, 2014
High cost of iPhone thought to be hurting Apple marketshare
Apple is planning to restart iPhone 4 production in order to sell the device in India, Indonesia, and Brazil, says India's The Economic Times. The paper cites three senior executives familiar with Apple's plans. Last month, there were indications that Apple would relaunch the iPhone 4 in India, but it was unclear if Apple was planning to restart manufacturing or just use unsold inventory. According to the Times, Foxconn has already begun building new units.
Although the iPhone 4 is generally considered outdated -- it's the oldest device capable of running iOS 7 -- Apple has had a tough time gaining marketshare in countries like India, owing to the cost of more recent devices. The cheapest iPhone 5s, for instance, is 53,500 rupees, or about $856. Even the iPhone 5c starts at 41,900 rupees ($670). An 8GB iPhone 4, by contrast, goes for just 22,900 rupees ($360). Apple faces stiff competition from companies like Samsung, which are able to sell Android devices at lower prices while still keeping modern performance specs.

Reports on the Lawsuit Industry in America
No 2, June 2006
Why Wolverine Staters Should Just Say No to the Trial Bar's
War on Drugs
In state after state, Trial Lawyers, Inc.'s high-octane governmentrelations
machine keeps businesses and consumers on the run. The latest
race is on in Michigan, where the litigation industry is seeking
to reverse part of a highly successful tort-reform package
enacted by the legislature a decade ago.
The lawyers' legislative assault could not come at a worse
time for the Wolverine State. Michigan has lost nearly one-third
of its manufacturing jobsits employment mainstaysince
1999, and has hemorrhaged 20,000 jobs since March of last
year alone.[1] Anticipating just such
an employment exodus from the besieged automobile sector,
Michigan's legislators in 1996 passed an "FDA defense"
law that has allowed another sector of Michigan's economymedical
research and developmentto thrive. Should the plaintiffs'
bar succeed in repealing this rule, Michigan's 12,000 pharmaceutical-industry
jobswith a direct and indirect economic impact of over
$4 billionwould be in jeopardy. Many manufacturers in
other sectors, as well, would certainly view the legislature's
retreat as an ominous portent for the state's litigation climate.
Repeal would, for example, forestall any hoped-for growth
in Michigan biotech that industry leaders have projected.
Michigan's Principled, Pragmatic Stand
In 1996, the Michigan legislature passed its historic "FDA
defense" law, under which a drug's approval by the Food
and Drug Administration (FDA) automatically sets limits on
the suits that can be filed against its maker. Because Vioxx
was approved by the FDA, for example, plaintiffs' ability
to recover for alleged Vioxx-related injuries in Michigan
courts is sharply curtailed.
Does the ten-year-old Michigan reform make sense? We think
so. As we noted in our Trial Lawyers, Inc.: Health Care
Trial Lawyers, Inc.'s assault on the drug industry
has undermined the democratic authority of Congress itself,
which vests the Food and Drug Administration with responsibility
for pharmaceutical regulation. . . . Though the FDA is far
from perfect and needs reform, its onerous approval processes
are specifically designed to test drugs safety and efficacy
with an eye toward the big picture: they determine whether
the costs of allowing a drug into the marketplace
are higher or lower than the benefits that the drug is expected
to bring. In contrast, juries that decide lawsuits over
drug side effects can consider only the case at hand, not
the broader cost/benefit analysis.[2]
Common senseand a commitment to democratic and federalist
principlesdictates that local juries should not be able
to trump the considered decisions of a federal regulatory
agency. Runaway juries discourage vital innovation and harm
the public health.
Given Michigan's current economic woes, though, it's important
to realize that Michigan's lawmakers in 1996 weren't merely
interested in federalist principles or the state of overall
drug innovation in the United States. The FDA preemption law
was specifically intended to give Michigan a comparative advantage
over other states and attract high-technology pharmaceutical
jobs. Notes Dick Posthumus, who as Senate majority leader
led the 1996 reform efforts in the legislature:
One of the things we foresaw at the time was the
need to diversify Michigan's economy. We saw coming what eventually
happened, that is the globalization of the auto industry,
which meant Michigan wouldnt be as dominant and we would
have to provide jobs in other industries. One of the industries
we looked at as a state back then, and I think rightly so,
was the life sciences industry. We had Pfizer in Ann Arbor
and Upjohn in Kalamazoo. We had Dow in Midland and the University
Research Center in Ann Arbor. . . . We had all of these pieces,
so one of the things we wanted to do was encourage the expansion
of the life sciences industry. There were a whole lot of pieces
to that, but one of the pieces was to ensure that a pharmaceutical
company working on a life-saving drug wouldnt have to
worry about frivolous lawsuits.[3]
Just how well has the state legislature's plan worked? Life-sciences
companies have invested $355 million on research and development
in Michigan since the preemption law's passage in 1996, and
the pharmaceutical industry's 12,000 jobs in the state have
a healthy average yearly wage of over $60,000.[4]
And this in a state with a 6.6 percent unemployment rate,
at a time when unemployment hovers under 5 percent nationally.
The context behind the legislative fight in Michigan
is the battle royal being fought nationwide between
the plaintiffs' bar and Merck & Co., the maker of
the once-popular anti-inflammatory drug Vioxx. As we
detailed in Trial Lawyers, Inc.: Health Careand
as anyone following the news is well awareMerck
has faced a barrage of lawsuits since health
concerns prompted the company to voluntarily pull Vioxx
from the market in 2005.[5]
Many of these lawsuits have rested and will continue
to rest on the flimsiest of scientific evidence. For
example, in the widely publicized Texas case of Ernst
v. Merck, the jury awarded widow Carol Ernst $250
million for her husband's death, though such damages
will fortunately be reduced dramatically before all
is said and done. Key to the Ernst case was the testimony
of Dr. Maria Araneta, who initially determined that
Robert Ernst's death was due to irregular heartbeat,
but later changed her mind and claimed in a videotaped
deposition that he had actually died of a Vioxx-caused
blood clot. Never mind that Merck's clinical trial showed
that it takes 18 months of Vioxx usage before the risk
of cardiovascular events increases, and that Ernst had
been taking the drug only for eight.[6]
Even more astonishing is the new Texas Vioxx verdict,
in which a court awarded $7 million in compensatory
damages to the family of Leonel Garza, a 71-year-old
smoker with a history of heart trouble. Garza used Vioxx
for only a month before his heart attackat least
according to his familys lawyers. They were only
able to produce concrete evidence, however, that Garza
took it for one week.[7]
What has already become evident in the Vioxx casesas
has been the case in so many mass torts in the pastis
that naive or misled juries will be unable or unwilling
to assess scientific evidence and reach a dispassionate
judgment in the face of tragedy, regardless of the facts
or the law. Little wonder that Trial Lawyers, Inc. has
thus far filed more than 11,500 lawsuits in Texas, New
Jersey, California, and elsewhere.[8]
Trial Lawyers, Inc. against the "Little Guy"
Trial Lawyers, Inc., however, is not worried about Michigan's
unemployment. Despite its oft-voiced concern for workers,
consumers, and the economy, the trial bar's principal interest
is expanding its opportunities for collecting multimillion-dollar
verdicts and settlements. Since Michigan's preemption law
has made it a safe haven from predatory drug lawsuits, the
state has become ground zero for the plaintiffs' bar's latest
attack on the public interest.
in concert with Michigan House members Dianne Byrum and Ed
Gaffney, the lawyers have launched a frontal assault on Michigan's
FDA preemption law. A bill that would overturn the law, HB
5527, is scheduled to come before the state legislature later
this spring or early summer.[9] Byrum,
the bill's chief advocate, repeats the tired refrain that
drug companies put "profits before people and secrecy
before safety." Taking a page out of the Trial Lawyers,
Inc. public-relations playbook, Byrum claims to be standing
up "for the 'little guy.'"[10]
But it's precisely the "little guy"the average
medical consumer and citizenwho will be seriously hurt
if Byrum and Trial Lawyers, Inc. succeed.
To understand how drug litigation affects medical consumers,
consider the case of Iris Linder, a Michigan attorney who
suffers from lupus.[11] Linder, once
dependent on Vioxx to ease her chronic joint inflammation,
now lacks an effective replacement. But for the specter of
drug litigation, it's highly unlikely that Merck would have
pulled Vioxx completely from the market, given that its health
risks are for identifiable populations taking the medicine
for identifiable periods and doses. Now, Linder and the hosts
of other "little guys" who once used Vioxx to ease
their pain and improve their lives will simply have to suffer.
Because of unfounded drug litigation such as the winning Vioxx
suits filed by Carol Ernst and Leonel Garza, a variety of
life-saving and life-enhancing medicationsthose now
in development and others yet to be imaginedmay never
make it to the little guy's medicine chest.
While Michigan's laws can have only a marginal impact on
the national problem of drug litigation, Michigan workers
and taxpayers are certain to feel the bite should federal
preemption be overturned. Not only will jobs leave the state
as life-sciences industries decamp, but pharmaceutical companies
will also pass the cost of lawsuits on to consumers in the
form of higher prices. As Dr. David Janda, an orthopedic surgeon
and health-care cost-containment expert, put it: "Repeal
of preemption will raise the cost of health care for every
family and every business in Michigan."[12]
Finally, its important to recognize that the trial
lawyers will not stop at FDA preemption reform. If Trial Lawyers,
Inc. disposes of federal preemption in Michigan, it will set
its sights on Michigan's healthy battery of other tort reforms,
including a two-tiered damage-cap system in medical suits
($280,000 for "ordinary occurrences" and $500,000
for brain/reproductive-organ damage), a similar system in
product liability lawsuits, and a law limiting contingency
fees to 33 percent of the amount recovered. Businesses will
assume, quite reasonably, that such reforms are much more
likely to be repealed if the plaintiffs' bar succeeds in reversing
the FDA defense. Given that 50 percent of business leaders
say that their investment and relocation decisions are affected
by states litigation climates, a worsening legal climate
is a risk that job-starved Michigan can ill afford.
Trial Lawyers, Inc. and its public advocates talk as though
absolutely no protection for medical consumers exists in Michigan.
This is simply not the case. Michigan's law has a provision
allowing suits to proceed if it is determined that the drug
company willfully withheld or misrepresented information during
the approval process.[13] Such a safeguard
is a necessary precaution: if the drug company lies to the
FDA, the FDA's judgment is based on faulty information. The
Michigan law strikes an appropriate balance, permitting the
FDA to do its job but punishing companies that withhold valuable
information and interfere with the FDA's good-faith cost/benefit
FDA preemption law, as long as it stands, will limit the economic
and social costs that the litigation industry imposes on the
state. With luck, Michigan Chamber of Commerce president and
CEO James Barrett and others interested in this issue will
be able to stem the tide of opposition. Otherwise, an important
line of defense in the struggle for tort reform will be lost.
The Michigan law should serve as a model for other states
and the federal government. Michigan's economic outlook is
not so rosy that it can easily spare another 12,000 jobs,
especially the high-paying kind that medical investment brings
in. Michigan governor Jennifer Granholm has been aggressively
pursuing nontraditional industries for the stateeven
traveling to Japan to lure biotech jobs to Michigan but
her leadership in protecting FDA preemption has been lacking
to date. It would be a huge economic mistake if Michigan allowed
Trial Lawyers, Inc. to gut the state's model reforma
mistake with real consequences for the health of Michigan's
consumers and the wealth of its workers.

Prior Lake, MN – The Shakopee Mdewakanton Sioux Community today announced that it will provide $900,000 in grants to neighboring governments. The Tribe will provide $150,000 each to Scott County and the cities of Belle Plaine, Jordan, Prior Lake, Savage, and Shakopee. Specifically, the grants are for the benefit of local residents as determined by each governmental unit.
In a letter announcing the grants, SMSC Chairman Charlie Vig wrote, "Our Dakota culture includes a strong tradition of sharing. We offer this grant as a way to continue our good faith effort to work with you on a government to government basis and to build and strengthen our relationship based on mutual respect." He concluded by saying, "I look forward to working with you on issues that impact both of our communities."
"We are pleased to provide these grants so that local units of government have the opportunity to provide additional services for their citizens," stated Lori Watso, Secretary/Treasurer of the SMSC.
The SMSC's collaboration with neighboring governments has increased in recent years, working together on common projects and initiatives to improve community-wide services throughout the region. The Tribe's economic growth has also spurred growth in the communities surrounding the reservation, boosting growth in the housing market and provided economic growth to local vendors.
Vice-Chairman Keith B. Anderson stated, "Providing local government aid in lieu of revenue sharing guaranteed by a written agreement allows for more responsible government to government interactions. This is something I've heard our current Chairman speak of often. This is also a continuation of our commitment to joint cooperation with local governments initiated by our former Chairman Stanley Crooks."
SMSC Chairman Charlie Vig, who has participated in SCALE and other meetings with local government officials, said, "These cooperative efforts have provided our Community members with a greater appreciation for the challenges and opportunities facing the county and city governments surrounding the reservation. We have worked with local governments on public safety, transportation, and other infrastructure support systems in the recent past. Also, it is important that I acknowledge our tribal members. They are supportive of the work we are doing to improve cooperation between our governments and their guidance is a key factor in administering our grant program."
The Shakopee Tribe's governmental responsibilities have grown dramatically in recent years. As the largest employer in the area, SMSC employs more than 4,100 employees and provides good employee benefits for them, such as comprehensive health care coverage. The SMSC's Mobile Unit is used by Scott County to provide services for local residents who are un- or under-insured. Mdewakanton Emergency Services provides ambulance and fire service through mutual aid agreements to area departments. Since 1996 the SMSC paid more than $7.5 million for shared local road construction and an additional $16.7 million for road projects on the reservation. The SMSC has also paid $13.1 million to local governments for services and another $6.4 million for other projects.

1. Within the first 10 seconds, the unnamed rapper (whose name appears to be Gil) says all you need to know when he explains, "It's the hardest beat anybody's ever heard... Gunshots are the beat." Do you even need to know anything else? Answer: No.
2. The whole thing is three minutes and twenty-three seconds long. Trust me, between solitaire, free cell, spider solitaire and online Tetris, you've already proven to yourself and that creepy IT guy at work who monitors your computer activity that have enough time to watch this.
I will, however, warn you. First, this is the most infectious song ever. (And who cares if it's spoofing Odd Future?) Before you know it, everything in your life will be "ninja turtle swag," you'll start to think every dictionary should add the word "re-dead" and when you drink too much, you'll take off your shirt like I did.
Next, you'll come across this dude's other song, "Snacks." It's the second single from the "Gil Kills Hip Hop. Cuz after me there ain't gon' be nothing left" album (yes, that's the complete title) and if it wasn't for the fact that "Rifles Burs" has now trumped Louis Armstrong's "What A Wonderful World" as the best song ever, you'd think "Snacks" was the best jam this side of "Who Let the Dogs Out?"
And before everyone gets all swag, takes off their shirts and makes rifles burs because they need more from this unnamed emcee, there's an exclusive interview coming soon. I already talked to him and let's just say that I had to ask him to speak up because rifles were bursing so loudly in the background.
PS If this isn't enough and you really want to hear rifles burs, check out the "Rifles Burs" dubsteb remix. If/when this track comes on at a club, well...just get out my way.
