...Research Assistant Justin J. O’Hagan, who has worked on several studies with Lipsitch, says that the Center will support a “critical mass of researchers” through collaborations with Harvard specialists as well as international scientists, journalists, and public policy experts...
...University of California Regents, stung by a 20% cutback in state support due to the state budget crisis, are planning to increase student fees another 32%. The U.C. system must chop $637 million out of its budget this year following the agreement between Gov.

...Irvine Humanities Lecturer Keith Danner gave an idea of the cuts in his division alone. "On July 1, 2008 we had 80 full time support staff.

Without such a requirement, the bill is likely to fall significantly short...
...Still, Snowe has been willing to bolt from her party in the past. She was one of only three Republicans to support Obama's economic-stimulus plan in February. The White House has assiduously courted her; its budget director, Peter Orszag, interrupted his Maine vacation in August to have dinner with Snowe and an aide at a Greek restaurant in Portland. And the amicability has been mutual. While others in the GOP have gone so far as to brand Obama a socialist for his effort to expand the government's role in an industry that accounts for one-sixth...
