Oh, and during his undergraduate days, Gardner saw how federal agents deal with the drug trade. He worked with the Drug Enforcement Administration as part of his studies for his bachelor's degree in criminal justice at Northeastern University.

The University of Missouri System is seeing more marketable ideas emerge from research on its four campuses than ever, causing administrators to shuffle resources to support those endeavors.
The latest investment will be the addition of two new attorney positions in the general counsel's office to handle business transactions and intellectual property issues. Those jobs will be underwritten by some of the money saved from 22 system position cuts made last year. In May, UM System President Gary Forsee said he planned to reinvest some of the expected $2.5 million savings in economic development initiatives.

Lafe Solomon is one of the most powerful bureaucrats in America and is about to get much more powerful. He is the acting general counsel for the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB), best known for suing Boeing Co. over the opening of a billion-dollar manufacturing plant that created thousands of jobs in South Carolina. He also is suing four states - Arizona, South Carolina, South Dakota and Utah - for enacting state constitutional protections for secret ballot voting.

The NLRB is presently operating with three board members, two of whom are left-wing union lawyers. One of those union lawyers, Craig Becker...
