The Legal Framework for States as Employers-of-Choice in Workplace Flexibility: A Case Study of Arizona and Michigan

Outlines the statutes, regulations, executive actions, and collective bargaining agreements that authorize flexible work arrangements, time off, and career flexibility in the two state workforces; the elements of model programs; and their benefits

Some Comments on the Class of \u2772

Most readers of this publication were at one time admitted to the University of Michigan Law School. Presumably most of our readers feel that getting admitted was a good thing, and would be interested in knowing what sort of people are following in their footstep. In years gone by the admissions officer could simply rely on the increasing number of applicants to produce a higher average undergraduate record and a spectacular average score on the Law School Admiaaion Test (LSAT). This year the 1st-year class has very good grades and test scores, but there is more to the story than just the crush of numbers

Woodstock Nation Goes to Law School

Friends of The University of Michigan Law School might wonder, in these times of campus tumult, if the wise undergraduate is directing his steps elsewhere. In fact just the opposite of what one might assume is true. Michigan, Harvard, and Berkeley, all active campi, have all had extremely large numbers of applicants to their law schools. In 1969-70 the Admissions Office had 4,000 applications, almost a thousand more than in the previous year, which in turn had also set a record. It is comforting to know that so many college seniors have such high regard for Michigan-garnered in the main from contacts with alumni, students, and faculty, one assumes, and not from the lure of student protest-but when viewed in any other light, 4,000 is too many

Twenty‐five years of PTHrP progress: From cancer hormone to multifunctional cytokine

Twenty‐five years ago a “new” protein was identified from cancers that caused hypercalcemia. It was credited for its ability to mimic parathyroid hormone (PTH), and hence was termed parathyroid hormone‐related protein (PTHrP). Today it is recognized for its widespread distribution, its endocrine, paracrine, and intracrine modes of action driving numerous physiologic and pathologic conditions, and its central role in organogenesis. The multiple biological activities within a complex molecule with paracrine modulation of adjacent target cells present boundless possibilities. The protein structure of PTHrP has been traced, dissected, and deleted comprehensively and conditionally, yet numerous questions lurk in its past that will carry into the future. Issues of the variable segments of the protein, including the enigmatic nuclear localization sequence, are only recently being clarified. Aspects of PTHrP production and action in the menacing condition of cancer are emerging as dichotomies that may represent intended temporal actions of PTHrP. Relative to PTH, the hormone regulating calcium homeostasis, PTHrP “controls the show” locally at the PTH/PTHrP receptor throughout the body. Great strides have been made in our understanding of PTHrP actions, yet years of exciting investigation and discovery are imminent. © 2012 American Society for Bone and Mineral Research.Peer Reviewedhttp://deepblue.lib.umich.edu/bitstream/2027.42/91351/1/1617_ftp.pd
