Missouri Judge Approves Summary, Cost Estimate For Abortion Ballot Proposal
Missouri Judge Patricia Joyce last week dismissed conspiracy allegations against three state officials and approved the summary and cost estimate for a proposed constitutional amendment that would ban public funding for abortions and certain types of embryonic stem cell research, the AP/St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports.The Missouri Roundtable for Life proposed the ballot measure earlier this year. Supporters of the measure subsequently argued that a summary written by Missouri"s secretary of state was biased. At the same time, opponents of the measure argued that the original petition was improperly drafted and should not have been allowed to proceed.Joyce dismissed the challenges to the summary and cost estimate, which was prepared by the state auditor. She also rejected the Roundtable"s claims that three state officials -- Secretary of State Robin Carnahan, Attorney General Chris Koster and State Auditor Susan Montee -- conspired to violate sponsors" constitutional rights. Joyce ruled that the allegations "are without merit and rise to the level of being frivolous."Steve Clark, an attorney representing the Roundtable, said his clients have not yet decided whether they will appeal. If they appeal and the summary is changed, new signatures will be required to support the new language. Supporters hope to place the measure on the 2010 ballot (Blank, AP/St. Louis Post-Dispatch, 6/20).

Copy Number Analysis Indicates Monoclonal Origin Of Lethal Metastatic Prostate Cancer

BERKELEY, CA (UroToday.com) - I was trained and board certified as a urologist (University of Virginia) and pathologist (Cornell and UVA) and arrived at Johns Hopkins in 1991 to do a research fellowship with Dr. William B. Isaacs, funded by the American Foundation for Urologic Disease (now the AUA Foundation). Envisioning that we could do a lot more to help men with prostate cancer, and men and women with other cancers, I fell deeper and deeper into research to the point that I gave up my urology practice, and have been trying to help open new vistas for cancer research since then. From my perspective, this recent paper does open a new vista. It shows the outlines of how each man appears to have his own version of prostate cancer, and how each of them (based on our high resolution study limited to 14 men so far) has its own clonal origin that can be derived from studying multiple metastases from each man, and it suggests that studies of metastatic cancers could form a badly needed central reference point for unraveling more of cancer"s secrets. I"d be happy to converse about the paper with any UroToday.com readers through my blog. Written by G. Steven Bova, MD as part of Beyond the Abstract on UroToday.com.
