Say good-bye to Michigan jobs complements of Rick Snyder. Why would anyone want him for Governor.

 Ardesta CEO Rick Snyder

HandyLab chairman Rick Snyder, CEO of Ardesta, funded HandyLab

THIS HAS CONFLICT OF INTEREST WRITTEN ALL OVER IT.  Typical.  Wall Street finds a couple of brilliant minds from University of Michigan and robs them blind.  Typical.  He is a corporate raider.  He helped himself to a nice profit from this and didn't give a damn about the people of Michigan.  What a louse.


Wait a minute.  Something smells rotten in Denmark.  Rick Snyder is an adventure capitalist?  He's Wall Street.  And he used innovation out of Michigan University to rob the State of a very promising company?

What a minute here.  There is something not quite kosher.

Snyder was Chairman of Ardestra the financing company that took HandyLab out of Michigan by selling it to a multinational company?

This is the Rick Snyder that is running as a Republican for Governor of Michigan?  What makes any Michigander believe he won't act to destroy Michigan all over again after it is being brought back from the brink by Governor Granholm.  Snyder is a Bush Republican.  He is Wall Street.  He hates Michigan.  No different "W" did.  He's anti-union.

What a mistake this is.  Oh, boy what a mistake this is.

Look, Rich Snyder is NOT an inventor here.  HandyLab was founded by two women, founded by U-M grads Kalyan Handique, known as "Handy," and Sundaresh Brahmasandra, 

HandyLab was Michigan born and bred.  Snyder is the manipulator.  He was the one that moved HandyLab to some prominence and then sold the Michigan based company to Becton, Dickinson and Company.. BD is huge.  They don't need this company.  They are cannibalizing.  They bought it to stop the competition.  HandyLab is a brilliant concept, no different than the electric car.  BD bought the company to stop it from becoming bigger than BD is.

That is all this is.

Snyder is a; venture capitalist.  If Michigan thinks they have problems now, wait until he is done.  Dear God is killed a burgeoning company that could have grown in leaps and bounds and provided many, many more jobs to Michigan citizens in the future.

Holy smokes.  What a horrible guy.  Stop him.  He'll destroy the place.  He is out to use up resources and won't give a damn about any Michiganders quality of life.

The viral potential of HandyLab's "Jaguar" device, which helps doctors quickly identify infections, could eventually lead to additional manufacturing, technology and sales jobs in Ann Arbor.  (click title to entry - thank you)

CUTTING EDGE.  HandyLab had cutting edge equipment to diagnosis and isolate virus.  Do you how difficult that is?


In the spring of 2009, (click here) a novel influenza A (H1N1) virus (swine origin influenza virus [S-OIV]) emerged and began causing a large outbreak of illness in Milwaukee, WI. Our group at the Midwest Respiratory Virus Program laboratory developed a semiautomated real-time multiplex reverse transcription-PCR assay (Seasonal), employing the NucliSENS easyMAG system (bioMérieux, Durham, NC) and a Raider thermocycler (HandyLab Inc., Ann Arbor, MI), that typed influenza A virus, influenza B virus, and respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) and subtyped influenza A virus into the currently circulating H1 and H3 subtypes, as well as a similar assay that identified H1 of S-OIV.,,,

When is every citizen going to realize they are being lied to and it is darn hard to regrown and economy.  It is virtually IMPOSSIBLE to regrown an economy with OPPORTUNISTS like Synder.  Oh, he'll produce an income for Michigan alright, by selling every asset and everything that comes out of its brain trust to some multinational company somewhere.  INCLUDING the Wind Energy Factories Granholm worked so hard to build.

WHEN are people going to learn who to trust?

This company could have marketed this with some help and increased sales to global markets.  Whoever made the Board at HandyLab believe they had to divest of their interests in order to sell their product globally?  They just weren't talking to the right people and Snyder played them like a fine fiddle.  What a bastard.

GM tried it too with Opel.  But, it didn't work.

...GM’s European branch Opel (click here) has developed a hybrid-electric van concept based on the Voltec engineering underpinning the Chevy Volt. Called the Vivaro e-Concept, it is definitely designed for European tastes. So could it come to America?...
BRUSSELS — More than one million signatures have been gathered in a legal bid to "freeze" GM crop cultivation in the European Union, but a Brussels official said Wednesday the complaint would be passed to "political" advisers.
Environmental campaigners Greenpeace and Avaaz announced that the online petition target had been crossed, seeking to use a new citizen charter created under the European Union's Lisbon Treaty to put authorisations on hold.
However, the leading expert on the European parliament committee handling questions surrounding GM farming, German Green lawmaker Gerald Hafner said there could be a legal challenge.
Under Lisbon, if a million citizens from a broad base of EU countries lend their names to moves to change the law, the European Commission, the bloc's day-to-day executive, is obliged to consider the grievance....


General Motors to close Belgian Opel factory

Posted on: October 5th, 2010 
Opel is set to close one of its factories in Belgium.
General Motors Europe, the company that owns Opel, has announce that it is set to close its Opel assembly line in the Beligian city of Antwerp, with a total loss of around 1,200 jobs. The manufacturer planned to shut the factory earlier in the year, then held back with the hope that it would find a buyer by the last week of September.
As the search for investors failed however, the plant will now shut down at the end 2010. Along with the 1,200 jobs that will be cut by the closure, 1,400 jobs were already lost at the troubled Antwerp this year.
The car plant, which was established in 1924 and employed over 7,000 staff at the height of its powers, is the first of its kind in Europe to become a victim of a global slump in consumer demand since the recession in 2008....

STOP Snyder, he'll destroy Michigan.  The road back from 2008's Republican Carpetbagging doesn't happen overnight.  Americans have to get their minds around it or they will end up back there AGAIN !!
