I wanted to voice my concern about the biased and misleading article printed in The State News about stem cell research (Selling cells, SN 10/8). Nowhere in this article did the writer cite the remarkable fact that more than 73 real treatments and medical advances have come from adult stem cell research, while not a single medical advance has come from embryonic stem cell research.
When the economy turns bad, not every industry suffers. In fact, some flourish under the circumstances. For example, graduate schools have seen a spike in applications.

Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama is advertised as the anti-war candidate yet he has consistently voted to fund the war in Iraq. He has even said the troop surge worked and believes we need to keep around 50,000 troops there. He also wants to send more troops to Afghanistan. As for Iran, he has said all options are on the table. Iran is a country that does not even spend 1 percent as much as the United States on their military and Obama views them as a threat. He won’t even promise not to instate a military draft. He sounds like a pro-war candidate to me.

Ohio State has won 11 straight road games against Big Ten opponents. The last time the Buckeyes lost on the road was Oct. 8, 2005, when they fell to No. 16 Penn State, 17-10. Six of those wins came against teams that were ranked at the time.
