Simon: As we begin a busy new year at Michigan State, I’d like to take a moment to share a video featuring a few highlights from the year past. It was a year of hard work and accomplishment -- from pioneering research and innovative partnerships that make a difference in lives near and far to events and athletics achievements that captured the attention of the country and the imagination of more than half a million Spartans around the world. I hope you enjoy this look back at 2011 and that you will share it with family and friends: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MDKmVGKCrDk ________ Medicare Reform: JUST Rationing or just Rationing (Leonard Fleck, Professor of Philosophy and Medical Ethics, MSU College of Human Medicine).
