This led to the foundation of Arbor Brothers, a non-profit organiza- tion dedicated to connecting early- stage nonprofits with potential donors. How did the idea of Arbor Brothers come into being? I became good friends with the guy living next door to me in West Quad freshman year. He and I led parallel lives for the next 13 years, graduating UM, doing Teach for America in New York City and working on Wall Street. In 2008, we returned to Ann Arbor for a football game and - inspired by the energy on our active campus - decided it was time to figure out how we could "get back to being part of the solution." We. didn't know what form our ven- ture would take, but we pledged to ourselves to go out to dinner once a week for six months with a foundation officer, nonprofit leader, academic or consultant to determine where the holes in the philanthropic landscape lay. How does the experience at the University contribute to your career as nonprofit organization founders? Michigan has had a profound impact on my life. From my classes investigating our coun- try's education system, to par- ticipating in Alternative Spring Break, to game day walks to the Big House, I found the dedication to community at Michigan both strong and inspiring. I believe in the high standard of becoming a Michigan Man and I use that metaphor as a guidepost of opti- mism, grit and integrity. I'm still working at it, of course, but we named our organization after our college town as a daily reminder to live up to that standard.

Mexico, Uruguay, Poland and other countries and states already are reviewing the new regulations, which cover every- thing from the security at and size of licensed marijuana gar- dens, to how many pot stores can open in cities across the state, said Alison Holcomb, the Seattle lawyer who drafted Washington's marijuana initia- tive. Washington will tax pot highly and cap total production in the state at 80 metric tons. Sales are expected to begin by the middle of next year. "We feel very proud of what we're doing," said Sharon Fos- ter, chairwoman of the Wash- ington Liquor Control Board, as she and her two colleagues approved the rules. "We are making history." Washington and Colorado last year legalized the possession of up to an ounce of pot by adults over 21, with voters deciding to set up systems of state-licensed growers, processors and sellers. The measures put state officials in the difficult position of craft- ing rules for a fledgling industry barred by federal law for more than seven decades. The board devised Washing- ton's regulations after nearly a year of research, debate and planning, including public hear- ings that drew hundreds of peo- ple around the state. Supporters hope taxed pot will bring the state tens or hun- dreds of millions of dollars, with much of the revenue directed to public health and drug-abuse prevention. Colorado approved its pot industry rules last month, and sales are expected to start in some cities there at the begin- ning of 2014. The two states' laws are large- ly similar, although Colorado voters are considering whether to tax marijuana at a much lower rate, with no limit on total pro- duction. Colorado also will let stores sell both recreational and medi- cal marijuana. Both states will require such measures as seed- to-store tracking, background checks for license applicants, and child-resistant packaging.

The board hopes the sale of legal marijuana will capture about one-quarter of the state's total pot market, for starters. Under the rules, the board will issue licenses for up to 334 marijuana stores across the 7 state, with 21 of them in Seattle - a figure some have questioned 8 as too low, considering the city estimates about 200 medical marijuana dispensaries already are operating there. The City Council has passed zoning regu- lations for pot businesses that would require medical marijua- na dispensaries to obtain a state license or stop doing business by 2015. The rules limit the number of licenses that anyone can hold to three - an attempt by the board to stamp out any monopolies before they start. They also pro- hibit out-of-state investment in pot businesses and require qual- 9 m ity-control testing of marijuana by third-party labs. " * Hilary Bricken, a Seattle law- yer who is advising businesses that hope to obtain marijuana Judge to wait for advice before making a decision DETROIT (AP) - Same-sex couples queued up all afternoon at county courthouses, some even carrying wedding flowers. Then a federal judge deciding whether to throw out Michi- gan's gay marriage ban shocked everyone, saying simply: Wait 'til next year. After hearing arguments and poring over a stack of legal briefs, U.S. District Judge Ber- nard Friedman said Wednesday he needs to hear from experts on Feb. 25 before settling the fate of a 2004 Michigan consti- tutional amendment that rec- ognizes marriage as being only between a man and a woman. "This was never a scenario we imagined," Oakland County Clerk Lisa Brown said. Same- sex couples were at her office, anxious to get a marriage license if the judge ruled in their favor. "One couple has been togeth- er for 53 years," Brown added. "I think they've waited long enough." The lawsuit, brought by Jayne Rowse and April DeBo- er, two Detroit-area nurses in a lesbian relationship, argues that Michigan's constitutional amendment violates the U.S. Constitution's Equal Protec- tion Clause, which forbids states from treating people dif- ferently. The amendment was approved by 59 percent of vot- ers in 2004. Friedman clearly caught lawyers on both sides off guard, as they had agreed to have him decide the issue on arguments and briefs. More than 100 people were in the courtroom, anticipating a decision in favor of gay mar- riage, and dozens more watched a video feed of the hearing in a nearby room. A groan went up in that room when Friedman said he's not ready to make a decision. Thirteen states and the Dis- trict of Columbia allow gay marriage. An attorney for Michigan said the U.S. Supreme Court has recognized that states have authority to regulate marriage. Kristin Heyse noted that more than 2.5 million voters support- ed the amendment. "The people of the state of Michigan should be allowed to decide Michigan law. This is not the proper forum to decide social issues," Heyse, an assis- tant attorney general, told the judge. Rowse, 49, and DeBoer, 42, who have lived together for about eight years, declined comment outside court. "We were all hoping for an immediate ruling, but they understand it's a very long pro- cess," Dana Nessel, co-counsel for the couple, told reporters. Ninety miles away in Ing- ham County, Marnee Rutledge and Samantha Wolf were dis- appointed, too. Rutledge had a pink flower pinned to her shirt, while Wolf carried a bouquet of flowers that Rutledge gave her when proposing earlier in the day. They had a summer . ceremony nearby in Holt that wasn't legal. "We are in our minds mar- ried," Wolf said at the court- house in Mason. "We had a ceremony, we took our vows. That we aren't afforded the same rights as everybody who has stood up in front of their priest and loved ones - that's wrong." 4
