On Presidents, Agencies, And The Stem Cells Between Them: A Legal Analysis Of President Bush's And The Federal Governments Policy On The Funding Of Research Involving Human Embryonic Stem Cells, Yaniv Heled

Yaniv Heled

On August 9, 2001, President George W. Bush announced his policy on research involving human embryonic stem cells and proclaimed that federal funding would be allocated only to research involving human embryonic stem cell lines produced prior to his announcement (the Directive). Immediately thereafter, the National Institutes of Health (NIH) announced that it would act in accordance and full compliance with the Directive and took action to implement it. Since then, the Directive has dictated the nature and extent of scientific research involving human embryonic stem cells. Yet, astonishingly, despite being the subject of a boisterous debate, the Directive’s legality …

The Cra Implications Of Predatory Lending, Kathleen Engel, Patricia Mccoy

Patricia A. McCoy

Traditionally, policymakers, communities, and industry have regarded the Community Reinvestment Act ("CRA") as a positive mandate for banks and thrifts to do good by increasing investment in low- and moderate-income ("LMI") neighborhoods. When Congress enacted CRA, it was inconceivable that LMI neighborhoods might eventually receive too much credit in the form of abusive mortgages. However, by the late 1990s, predatory mortgages- exploitative high-cost loans to gullible borrowers-were ravaging the inner cities. We address the question: given the surge in predatory lending, how should CRA respond? CRA and federal subsidies to regulated lenders can create perverse incentives for lenders to engage …

Renewed Energy: Sustainable Historic Assets As Keystones In Urban Center Revitalization, Michael N. Widener Dec 2013

Renewed Energy: Sustainable Historic Assets As Keystones In Urban Center Revitalization, Michael N. Widener

Michael N. Widener

Conservation of the “built heritage” optimally manages historic values of property in light of current community imperatives of sustainability and urban center revitalization. Sensible historic preservation reveals the values of the past for present and future generations while delivering high-quality built environments that incorporate community sustainability. Adaptive reuse of historic structures preserves without ruining place-making. This paper argues that greater emphasis must be placed upon adaptive reuse in historic preservation initiatives. Acknowledging the larger significance of community cohesion and livability for all citizens, community planning processes within state and local governments must impose certain constraints upon historic property designation and …
