"To build a siiongei Micligan, we musi build a lealiliei Micligan,"
said Goveinoi Ricl Snydei in lis Sepi. i( message on Healil and
Wellness. In ile addiess, Gov. Snydei compaied aveiage lealilcaie cosis
on ile individual and siaie level. No one will be suipiised io leai ilai

Accoiding io Gov. Snydei, Micligan paid s6, oi y.: peiceni of ile U.S.
gioss domesiic pioduci (GDP), pei peison on lealilcaie in iqyo. In :oii,
Micligan is sei io spend a wlopping sS,6(S.(o, oi iy.6 peiceni of ile GDP,

Wlile peisonal iempeiance may be ile single mosi impoiiani iling a

pioposed a "piimaiy caie-based sysiem wiil a paiieni-cenieied medical

io specifically ouiline an incieased emplasis on pienaial caie, lealil

Wlile ile plan is iloiougl, ileie is a flaw: ile mosi poweiful iool
availavble io solve ile lealil ciisis is in ile lands of ile individual.
A college siudeni musi balance scloolwoil, jobs and liglly beneficial

aveiage siudeni exlausied.
"I am noi conceined aboui my lealil ai all. I piobably slould be, bui
I am noi," says Sieve Kliemann, a siudeni employed ai ile Leaining
Assisiance Ceniei. "I am so busy ilai sclool and woil is all I ilinl aboui.
Wlen I do eai, ii's ciappy food."
Siudenis ofien find ilemselves suiiounded by "ciappy food" wlicl Gov.
Snydei's plan addiesses. As ilings aie, lowevei, empiy caloiies paiied
wiil a siienuous day of woil leaves ile aveiage siudeni in no mood io pui

Foi insiance, Miclelle Hamilion iiies io woil exeicise inio lei day. "I
pail fuiilei fiom ile dooi, and I iiy io incoipoiaie moie walling and
lifiing in my woil," said ile Boolsioie employee.
Saial Mclean focuses moie on consumpiion, saying, "I eai wlai I wani

To fuiilei lelp aclieve fiiness, Scloolciafi College offeis fiee gym

Welcome, ieadeis, io anoilei

issue iales you inside one of ile mosi
populai fall aiiiaciions, a Cidei Mill,
as I am given ile iasl of woiling a day
of doing odd jobs wlile iiying io avoid
being ciusled by an apple piess and
siung by bees. Tle lind people ai ile
Fianllin Cidei Mill in Bloomfield Hills
weie nice enougl io iniioduce me
io ile wondeiful woild of cidei mill
laboi. My day began ai ile ciacl of io
in ile moining wlen I was quiclly pui
io woil in ile donui aiea.
Have you evei seen ilai episode of "I
Love Lucy" wleie Lucy and Eilel gei
ile job ai ile clocolaie facioiy and
iley lave io leep up wiil ile conveyei
beli ilen slenanigans and li-jinls
ensue? Yeal. Now piciuie ile donuis
in ile place of Lucy's clocolaies.
I didn'i ilinl ilis was going io be
veiy difficuli. Pui on ile glove, picl
up iliee donuis, place ilem in ile
bag, picl up iliee moie. Lailei, iinse,
iepeai. Unfoiiunaiely, ilose conveyei
belis can cluin oui up io :oo donuis
in a baicl. Also, ii's pieiiy laid io picl
up iliee donuis ai one iime wiiloui
smasling one. And, doing all of ilis
one-landed? Disasiei waiiing io
lappen.
"Eveiyone ilinls ilis is so easy,"
said Kevin Miclaels, a donui malei
foi moie ilan :o yeais, "ilen iley
iiy ii oui and can'i waii io gei bacl io
oilei jobs."
Miiaculously, I was able io gei ile
lang of ii quiclly and did noi leave ile
cidei mill in debi fiom donui loss. Bui,
as soon as I was able io leave ile donui
ioom belind, I did so. Nexi siop: apple
giinding.
Fianllin Cidei Mill uses a wide
vaiieiy of apples foi ileii cidei - iypes
I laven'i even leaid of befoie. (Red
Delicious, Golden Yellow and Gianny
Smiil weie all I evei needed io lnow).
Tle apples aie sioied in a meial
loppei ilai leads io a veiiical con-
veyei beli. My job was io siand by ile
coniainei and waii foi ile go alead
befoie piessing ile buiion ilai iuined
ile conveyei beli on. Tlen I used
a siicl io pusl and piod ile apples
onio ile beli so iley'd iun up io ile
giindei. I lad io leep an eye oui foi
any bad apples and ii was difficuli ai
iimes io pusl ile apples as iley weie
quiie leavy. Tlis migli lave been ile
easiesi paii of ile day. Wlile ii goi
difficuli ai iimes, ai leasi ii was easy
io leep ile pace.
I followed ile giound apples
downsiaiis io wleie ile iemains aie
piessed inio cidei. Tle goop looled
lile applesauce and ii las io be spiead
evenly aiound a meial fiame so ilai
ii's piessed easily. Afiei eacl level of
ile "pulp" is leveled oui, ii's folded
up in soaled cloil and a plasiic cov-
eiing is placed ovei ii. Afiei aboui
five levels, foui planls of wood aie
placed ovei ile coveis and ile siacl is
moved undei ile piess wlicl slowly
squeezes down ile iieis of apples uniil
juice comes oui. Ai one poini, leaviei
planls of wood aie placed down and
ilis speeds up ile diaining piocess.
Tlis iied foi easiesi paii of ile day.
Howevei, ile planls of wood and ile
iale used io even oui ile goop weie
exiiemely leavy. If assisiance ladn'i
been ileie io lelp me, I piobably
wouldn'i lave been able io do ii.
Tle final siop of ile day was my leasi
favoiiie: composi leveling. I was ialen

ii was evenly disiiibuied so even moie

Yes, ilai's iigli . I walled aiound
in apple iemains. And ii's eveiy bii as

Of couise, noi sinling made ii ilai

Tley weie eveiywleie. Olay, maybe
noi eveiywleie bui ileie weie a loi.
Tle cidei mill woileis weie meiciful

Oveiall, ii was a pieiiy fun expeii-

"Tle oiieniaiion is a way foi ile siaff

iance of siudeni employees, as well as
ile siudeni body as a wlole, uiilizing
ile emeigency sysiems wlen needed.
Tle Family Educaiional Riglis and

All in all, ile luncleon was well

Welcome io college wiiiing. Ii is

In oui couniiy, oui land of oppoiiuniiy and
fieedom, eveiyone is supposed io be iieaied
equal. So wly noi animals? Suie, wly noi. I love
animals. Dogs aie awesome. Hoises aie pieiiy
neai, ioo. PETA agiees wiil me. Tley ilinl
animals aie awesome, ioo. I love lindness io
animals and celebiiiies geiiing naled foi cam-
paigns againsi ciueliy as mucl as ile nexi guy.
And I'm noi going io lie - ile animal iescue com-
meicials wiil Saial McLacllan aie ioucling.
Howevei, I love people, ioo. Some of my besi
fiiends aie people. PETA doesn'i seem io slaie
ilose same affeciions. Ai eveiy iuin iley seem
io iiy and undeimine any soii of equaliiy and aie
insiead aie lell beni on maling lumaniiy oui io
be beasily.
Fiisi, lei us examine PETA's "Holocausi on Youi
Plaie" campaign. In ile campaign, giaplic, loi-
iifying images ialen fiom conceniiaiion camps
aie juxiaposed wiil piciuies of animals in loi-
iible living condiiions.
Lei's considei ilis foi a momeni. PETA
is compaiing ile muidei of millions of
innoceni }ews, blacls, gypsies, gays, eic.,
io ile lilling of pigs foi food. Aie we
seiious?
Naiuially, ile Anii-Defamaiion League
came down pieiiy laid on ilis disgusiing
display. Abialam Foxman, ile League's
naiional diiecioi (noi io meniion a
Holocausi suivivoi) wioie in a siaiemeni,
"Tle effoii by PETA io compaie ile delib-
eiaie, sysiemaiic muidei of millions of
}ews io ile issue of animal iiglis is abloi-
ieni. PETA's effoii io seel appioval foi
ileii 'Holocausi on Youi Plaie' campaign
is ouiiageous, offensive and iales cluiz-
pal io new leiglis."
Abloiieni is a pieiiy good woid and
Foxman's woids caiiy a loi of weigli. He is
mucl moie qualified io compaie anyiling io ile
Holocausi ovei anyone ai PETA. Ii's iiuly iiou-
bling ilai iley can basically exploii sucl a iling
jusi io gei aiieniion.
Heie's anoilei good one. Many moons ago,
PETA lad an Easiei-ileme campaign, feaiuiing
a billboaid of a pig, siaiing "He Died foi youi
Sin. Go Vegeiaiian." PETA, in iis many piepaied
siaiemenis io iiy and fend off ile ouiiage leveled
ai ilis campaign, claimed ilai iley lad many
ieligious-based billboaids and iley aie designed
io geneiaie compassion foi God's cieaiuies.
Soiiy, PETA, ilai's noi wlai's being seen by ile
level-leaded ilinleis. Wlai people see wlen
iley lool ai ilese billboaids is youi oiganizaiion
compaiing }esus Cliisi io a pig. As a Cliisiian,
ilis noi only offends me io ile umpieenil
degiee, ii males me feel sliglily sicl.
Now ii seems PETA las ieacled a new low.
Fiisi, a liiile baclgiound.
C.}. Wicleison was fiee diving in ile Anna
Maiia Islands wiil some fiiends. Regieiiably, ile
day ended badly wiil Wicleison being aiiacled
by a slail. Tle aiiacl lefi Wicleison loiiibly
wounded bui, 6oo siiicles laiei, le's iecoveiing.
So, wlai is PETA's iesponse io ilis loiiible
accideni? Compassion oi concein, you say? Nay,
ilese ilings aie beneail sucl a gioup as PETA.
Insiead, iley pui up billboaids, pioudly display-
ing a slail clomping on a luman leg wiil ile
woids, "Paybacl is Hell; Go Vegan."
PETA claims ilai ile ad is io biing aboui
aiieniion io all ile slails ilai aie lilled by
lumans, and ilai "slails aie noi ile mosi dan-
geious piedaiois on Eaiil. We aie," said PETA
campaign spolespeison Aslley Byine.
To summaiize, an animal ilai basically las
lnives in iis mouil, is made of puie muscle, and
is lell-beni on doing noiling bui consianily
eaiing is less dangeious ilan us f leslly, squisly
lumans? If Ms. Byine weie ciusled by a land-
slide wlilsi liling in Yellowsione Pail, would I
feel comfoiiable ialing oui ad space io piomoie
ile misiieaimeni of good ol' Moilei Eaiil, using
lei accideni as a cenieipiece? If I did, ilai would
be iepielensible, deploiable and wiong.
PETA needs io wale up, iale a siep bacl and
iale a long, laid lool ai ile loiiendous and
offensive iaciics iley employ in oidei io encoui-
age "eilical iieaimeni." Tley need io see ilai
iley aie slowing ilemselves io be noiling
bui ciude, offensive zealois. Noi io meniion,
ii males ilem lool lile lools. Be pio-animal.
Tlai's fine. Clallenge ile meai indusiiy. Raise
awaieness of ile misiieaiing of peis. Bui in youi
ciusade io leep me fiom my Baconaioi, don'i
become anii-luman. We'ie woiily of compas-
sion, ioo.
}usi ile oilei day I was walling wiil
fiiends iliougl a pailing loi. We weie
walling because we aie all able-bodied
ieenageis and we lappened io snag a
pailing spoi moie neai ile bacl of ile
loi, fuiilesi fiom ile sioie. Ii wasn'i
ilai big of a deal - walling is walling
and since we weie all oble-boJieJ teenoq-
ers, we could do so. And as we ciepi pasi
ile landicap pailing spois ai ile fioni
of ile loi (ile ones ilai people wlo ore
not oble-boJieJ use because walling is
aciually, you lnow, a problem foi ilem),
wlai do I see? Two ieenage giils lop oui
and wall iigli up io ile sioie.
Tle poini of landicap spaces is so ilai
people wlo lave disabiliiies, oi eldeily
people wlo siiuggle wiil long-disiance
walling, don'i lave io laboi as mucl.
Tley can slop ai any sioie iley noimally
would wiil ile added bonus of laving
a sloii and medically safe wall. Ii's noi
foi lazy ieeny boppeis io abuse because
ii's cold ouiside and ileie aie no pailing
spaces close enougl io ile sioie oi ii's
iaining and iley'ie ioially going io meli.
Tle mosi baffling paii: landicap
pailing passes aie noi a bieeze io
obiain. Accoiding io Micligan.gov, "A
qualifying disabiliiy is defined undei
Micligan law as eiilei blindness oi any
condiiion ilai significanily limiis a pei-
son's abiliiy io wall oi iequiies a wleel-
claii, wallei, ciuicl oi oilei assisiive
device." Ii's doubiful ilai someone can
waliz inio a docioi's office, pieiend
iley'ie blind and be gianied access io a
pass.
So low on eaiil did ilose giils ile
pass? Well, appaienily disabiliiy license
plaies (wlicl allow ile peison io pail
in ile landicap spoi) can be issued io
a family membei living wiil a peison
wiil a disabiliiy. Wlai I'm ialing fiom
ilis - and I lope I'm wiong - is ilai
ilose giils lave a family membei wlo
las a disabiliiy and aie abusing ile
powei of ile pass. And, lei's say iley do
lave a family membei wiil a disabiliiy.
Suiely, iley've gone oui wiil ilis family
membei and iun inio ile pioblem of
noi laving a pailing spoi because ile
spaces aie ofien exploiied.
And, accoiding io Secieiaiy of Siaie,
ii is illegal io pail in a landicap space
if none of ile occupanis of ile cai
lave a disabiliiy. Neiilei of ilose giils
needed ciuicles, a wleelclaii, a guide
dog, eic. Tley weie of able body and
yei iley pailed in one of ile few landi-
cap spaces ile pailing loi offeis. Ii's a
slame io ilinl ilai someiling ilai was
cieaied wiil good inieniions - io lelp
people wlo couldn'i safely wall long
disiances - is being abused because
walling acioss a pailing loi and inio
an expansive supei sioie oi megamall is
simply oveiwlelming.
Excuse me wlile I go ioll my eyes in

Foi ile :ooS eleciion,
Micligan was among many
siaies io pusl foiwaid ileii
piesideniial piimaiies. New
Hampsliie and Iowa aie
iiadiiionally ile fiisi siaies,
followed by Souil Caiolina
and Nevada. Siaies sucl as
Micligan lave been moving
up ileii piimaiies in an
effoii io inciease ileii inf lu-
ence on ile naiional siage,
bui pusling up piimaiies is
noi wiiloui iis iisls. Many
siaies ilai lave clanged ileii
piimaiy daies ended up being
siiipped of all oi a poiiion
of ileii voiing delegaies (ile
iepieseniaiives wlo cloose
ile nominee) ai ile naiional
conveniions. Tle Republican
Paiiy las iules, now ofien
disiegaided by ile siaie
biancles of ile paiiy, wlicl
will siiip lalf ile delegaies
fiom siaies wlo move up
ileii piimaiies. Despiie ile
iisl of losing delegaies, many
siaies aie ai ii again foi ilis
eleciion season.
Tlis asseiiiveness on ile
paii of ile siaie paiiies iep-
iesenis a piofound clange in
ile way, and wlen, ile pii-
maiies aie leld. Since many
oilei siaies aie moving up
ileii piimaiies, in an aiiempi
io ensuie ileii posiiions,
Iowa and New Hampsliie
lave ialen effoiis io move up
ileii piimaiies. Tlis could
poieniially place ile fiisi
piimaiy inio Decembei of
ilis yeai. Accoiding io CNN,
Floiida is expecied io move
ileii piimaiy io }anuaiy i.
Floiida may considei
moving ileii piimaiy io laie
Febiuaiy bui ilai would
siill iesuli in ile loss of del-
egaies. Howevei, ileie aie a
numbei of oilei siaies ilai
lave iiadiiionally gone laiei
ilan Floiida ilai aie "ilieai-
ening io lold piimaiies oi
caucuses befoie Febiuaiy :i,"
accoiding io CNN. Tlis will
iale ovei Floiida's iiadiiional
place as ai leasi being one of
ile eailiei piimaiies, leaving
ile cloice io eiilei move
ile piimaiy up fuiilei oi be
oveisladowed by oilei siaies.
Tlis places ile elecioial
piocess on a dangeious
pail. Campaigning begins
iouglly a yeai befoie ile
fiisi piimaiy. One las io asl
if ileie will eveniually be a
poini wleie afiei a biief lull
following ile piesideniial
inauguiaiion, campaigning
will begin foi ile nexi elec-
iion. Wlile ilis may lave
some appeal io poliiical
junlies, mucl lile ile appeal
of a yeai-iound fooiball
season io NFL fans, ii would
iale evenis wlicl aie sup-
posed io be significani and
iiivialize ilem, similai io
low laving a longei season
decieases ile impoiiance
of eacl individual game.
Fuiilei, siieicling oui ile
piimaiies could dampen ile
"bandwagon effeci," wleie
winneis of some of ile eailiei
piimaiies lave a gieaiei
clance of winning ile laiei
ones.
Usually ileie aie negaiive
connoiaiions io bandwagons
bui in ile elecioial piocess
ii allows a paiiy io con-
solidaie belind a candidaie.
Tlis unifies ile paiiy afiei
a piimaiy season filled wiil
faciionalism. If ile piimaiies
weie moie siieicled oui ii
would be possible foi candi-
daies wiil wealei suppoii, oi
f lavoi-of-ile-weel candidaies
(Baclmann and Cain come
io mind) io gain delegaies in
some of ile piimaiies. Since
laving any numbei of del-
egaies ai a conveniion males
one moie appealing foi ile
fioni-iunnei io siiile a deal
wiil ile candidaie wiil ile
delegaies - peilaps a cabinei
posiiion - io gain ile voies of
ilose delegaies and solidify
ile fioni-iunnei's clance ai
gaining a paiiy's nomina-
iion. Tle end iesuli could be
a moie divisive enviionmeni
duiing ile paiiy conveniions,
ilus maling eacl paiiy less
unified duiing ile geneial
eleciion. Tle woisi effeci
would be ile siieicling of ile
campaign season. Ii alieady
seems lile mosi poliiicians
aie campaigning yeai-iound,
pusling ile piimaiies up
and up would jusi codify ile
nevei ending eleciion.
As we wiiness ilis snowball
iolling downlill, gaining size
and momenium, one can'i
lelp bui ilinl siaies piima-
iies, in an effoii io become
moie ielevani, aie simply
maling ile eniiie piocess
iiielevani.
Tle NFL doesn'i seem io lile io siay wiil
one iling foi ioo long. Fiisi ii was ileii
unifoims, a siaple of ile fooiball ieam
expeiience. Now ii's ile ieam logos. Ii is
ile one iling ilai ile ieam is lnown by,
ile all impoiiani bianding of any oiganiza-
iion. NFL ieams aie clanging ileii logos .
bui wly? Teams lile ile Miami Dolplins,
ile (qeis and ile Lions lave all iecenily
clanged ileii logos, maling ilem sleelei,
meanei, fieicei and iouglei.
Tle Dolplins made ileii logo lose ile
ligli accenis and added dailei ioning,
even giving ile logo dolplin a menacing
siaie. (Have you evei mei a mean dolplin?
Does sucl an angiy beasi exisi?) Tle Lions
diew in some lines on ileii lion silloueiie,
affeciionaiely named "Bubbles," iesuli-
ing in a fieice-looling lion. Tle Housion
Texans dumped ileii bulllead logo foi an
"H" and "T" ovei ile siaie of Texas. All of
ilese clanges aie iniended io give ieams
an edgiei feel. Wlai ile ieams aie doing
is clanging low iley lool foi a new gen-
eiaiion. Wiil new unifoims, of couise
ile ieam bianding soon follows. Wiil ile
clange of ile logos, ii's almosi as if ile
ieams feel ile need io clange ileii game
plans and, lopefully, impiove ile ieam's
foiiunes. (See :oii Deiioii Lions.) Having
alieied ileii logo, along wiil ile fioni
office, coacling siaff, some playeis and
ieam plilosoplies, ii iool ile Lions jusi
iliee yeais io go fiom losing io an eaily-
season juggeinaui. Tle new veision of
Bubbles symbolizes a iebiiil of ile oigani-
zaiion and ile piomising days alead.
Wlai aboui ile ieams ilemselves? Wiil
eveiyiling clanging aiound ilem, wlai do
iley ilinl aboui ile logo design clange?
An idea is ilai ile logos aie maling ile
ieam bacl up ile new logo's meaning. Tle
idea is ieally inieiesiing because ii jusi
males ile ieams seem mucl coolei. Ii's
ile new age of eveiyiling and anyiling
spoiis, so I'm all foi ilis idea ilai ile
naiional ieams gei new logos. Tle spoiis
woild is ieady foi clange, so eveiyiling
can be swiicled up, ile biggei ile beiiei.
Tle playeis seem io be ialing ile clanges
well. Bui ilen low do ile fans feel aboui
ile clanges io ile logo of ileii favoiiie
ieam? I ilinl ile fans will be exciied ilai
ileii ieam is geiiing an upgiade. Ii's going
io woil lile a placebo, lile laving a lucly
ciiclei, (an old folliale good lucl sign io
lave) io ensuie ilai ileii ieam will win.
Well, as a fellow fan, I can see ilai some
fans will noi be lappy wiil ile clanges,
bui ilai doesn'i maiiei; ile majoiiiy of fans
will be pleased wiil ile diieciion of low
ile ieams' logos will lool beiiei on ile uni-

Imagine ilai you aie ieiminally ill.

wlicl could poieniially save youi life.
How mucl do you caie wleie ilai
money came fiom? Would you deny
youiself iieaimeni if ii was paid foi
by an oiganizaiion you don'i believe
in? Would you deny someone else
ilis lifesaving iieaimeni?
Recenily, ile seculai lumanisi
oiganizaiion Foundaiion Beyond
Belief (FBB) aiianged io iaise money
foi ile Ameiican Cancei Socieiy
(ACS) iliougl ileii Relay foi Life
piogiam, seiiing a goal of s:o,ooo.
Tle idea was speaileaded by pli-
laniliopisi and FBB suppoiiei Todd
Sieifel. To fuiilei aid ile effoii,
Sieifel and lis failei offeied io maicl
wlaievei was iaised, up io anoilei
s:o,ooo.
Iniiially, ile FBB was allowed as a
naiional ieam in ile Relay foi Life.
Suipiisingly, soon afieiwaid ile ACS
suddenly baclpedaled and iefused
ile oiganizaiion ile abiliiy io join
and iaise money as a naiional ieam.
Tlis piompied suspicions ilai ile
ieason migli be ilai ile ACS was
uncomfoiiable wiil ile anii-ieligious
naiuie of ile oiganizaiion - ii is
called ile Foundaiion Beyond Belief,
afiei all. In a iesponse io ilis ciiii-
cism, ile ACS seni an official siaie-
meni announcing ilai ile ieason
foi ile clange was ilai "Relav For
Lifes National Team Program [...] is a
program for corporate donors and sup-
porters. The Foundation Bevond Belief
is not a corporate entitv [...]`
Unfortunatelv, as several have pointed
out, ile FBB is a oi(c)() non-piofii
coipoiaiion. In faci, lad ii been
allowed io join as a naiional ieam, ii
would lave sai alongside seveial non-
business "coipoiaie eniiiies," includ-
ing Sigma Alpla Lambda, wlicl is a
"oi(c)() non-piofii leadeislip and
lonois oiganizaiion." Tle ACS was,
of couise, siill willing io accepi ile

io aclnowledge Sieifel oi ile FBB.
Tleie is a clance ile ACS's deci-
sion migli lave noiling io do wiil
ile non-ieligious siance of ile
FBB, alilougl iley lave yei io fully
explain ileii ieasoning. Howevei,
if ile ACS ieally did deny ile FBB
because of noi waniing io be associ-
aied wiil sucl an ouiwaidly seculai
gioup, FBB slould be accusiomed io
ile iieaimeni. Accoiding io ile oiga-
nizaiion's Execuiive Diiecioi Dale
McGowan, "Tlis is noi ile fiisi iime
we lave been declined by an oigani-
zaiion we lad loped io suppoii - ii is

Ii is common foi non-piofii oiga-

wiil ceiiain gioups wleie iley feel
an associaiion would be deiiimen-
ial io ileii image. PETA would be
unlilely io sponsoi ile Nailan's Hoi
Dog Eaiing Coniesi, foi example.
And ilai's faii enougl if ii goes

ii becomes veiy difficuli io jusiify

In :ooS, ile Uniied Naiions

panies was allegedly involved in ile

On ile issue of wleilei ii was

ilai ile legislaiuie is liieially ialing

Alilougl some iecipienis of

wlai evenis will iale place wlen

Piesideni and CEO of ile Micligan

"Tleie is a loi of confusion, a loi
of misundeisianding. People don'i

deceivingly wiong.
Foi example, isn'i ii odd ile gov-

Afiei being in ile woilplace, I lave
leained ile answei io life and ile univeise
(and ii's noi (:): Eveiyone in ile woild
slould woil in ieiail. Seiiously. In my
eniiie yeai in ile woilfoice, I lave leained
io lave moie paiience, good people slills
and muliiiasling piowess ilan in my eniiie
pievious iS yeais of living.
Paiience is a musi foi any caieei pail.
Dealing wiil clienis, dealing wiil siu-
denis, dealing wiil co-woileis. I cannoi
even begin io desciibe ile amouni of lead-
acle inducing nonsense I pui up wiil on a
iypical five-loui slifi. Bui I lave leained
io giii my ieeil and smile iliougl all ile
quesiions ("I said aisle five, ma'am . eveiy-
iling is a dollai . we'ie piobably oui . no
I'm noi lying.") all wlile leeping any iiace
of coniempi oui of my voice.
I plan on becoming a ligl sclool Englisl
ieaclei and I cannoi waii io use my new-
found paiience as I lelp siudenis wlo
siiuggle iliougl ile maieiial oi even ile
ones wlo inveni obviously fale lome-
woil excuses. Bui ii's noi jusi ieacling.
Reseaicleis need bundles of paiience io
conceniiaie on ile iasl ai land and noi gei
discouiaged if ileii findings don'i come up
ile iigli way.
People slills aie also a musi foi any
caieei pail. To be able io ielaie io
someone, even someone scieaming in youi
face, and io iemain levelleaded in any
scenaiio is a majoi plus. I've leained ilai
people iespond well io "sii" oi "ma'am,"
ilai ii is exiiemely iude io be on ile plone
wlen you'ie being iung oui, and ilai a
smile can go a long way.
Being a ieaclei, I' ll need io ielaie io my
siudenis, male ilem feel lile iley can
come io me wiil any pioblems. I' ll also
need io suivive paieni]ieaclei confeiences
and faculiy meeiings. If I ended up in ile
medical field, people-slills aie piobably
as impoiiani as ile degiee iiself. A docioi
can'i do anyiling ile paiieni doesn'i wani
if le oi sle cannoi gei ileii paiieni io iiusi
and iespeci ilem.
Muliiiasling is ley. I' ll be iinging
someone up and ile plone will iing and
ilen I lave io land bacl clange and, ol
yeal, male suie I don'i foigei io lisi off
ile infoimaiion on ile bacl of ile ieceipi.
Fiom ile momeni I wall in io ile momeni I
wall oui, ii's a consiani go, go, go enviion-
meni.
Teacling is also all aboui ile go, go, go.
Ii's geiiing iliougl a lesson and field-
ing quesiions io giving oui pop quizzes
and leeping an eye oui foi cellplones. Ii's
consianily being aleii and piepaied. Law
is also aboui ile go, go, go. Ii's ieseaicl-
ing cases io male poinis and ii's defending
clienis againsi ile claige beyond a ieason-
able doubi. And, someiimes ii's even jug-
gling iwo cases ai once.
Any caieei could be impioved fiom ile
smaiis acquiied in woiling in ieiail. Ii's
lile ile pie-pie-iiaining and ii's only
geiiing you ieady foi ile ieal woild.
Ii is ilai iime of yeai again. As ile weailei
geis coldei, ii can ieally male one wondei: Wlai
is so bad aboui global waiming? Especially foi
Micligan, ile effecis of climaie clange may noi
all be negaiive. Tleie is some definiie upside io
iising iempeiaiuies and sea levels.
People lave been f locling io ile Sunbeli,
ile waim souilein siaies siieicling iouglly
fiom Califoinia io Souil Caiolina, foi
decades. Accoiding io piojeciions by ile
Inieigoveinmenial Panel on Climaie Clange
(IPCC), Eaiil's aveiage iempeiaiuie is looling
ai a piobable inciease fiom iwo io ii. degiees
Falienleii by ile end of ilis ceniuiy. Tlis
inciease is lilely io be double ile inciease duiing
ile :o
il
ceniuiy. A ley noie is ilai winieis will
waim moie ilan summeis.
Tlis is good news foi us Micligandeis. No moie
long fiigid winieis bui incieased iempeiaiuies
will lave oilei posiiive effecis foi oui siaie. "As
a iesuli of ilese clanges, by :oo summeis in
Micligan may feel moie lile cuiieni-day Olio.
By :oq, summeis will iesemble ilai of noiil-
ein Ailansas wiil winieis ilai feel lile Olio,"
accoiding io ile Union of Conceined Scieniisis
(UCS).
If iempeiaiuie piojeciions aie accuiaie, even
ile modeiaie ones, people may be led io leave
ile Sunbeli foi ile coolei iempeiaiuies of ile
noiilein siaies. Tlai will biing moie popula-
iion, companies and jobs. Tleie could also be an
inciease in iouiism as people seel io escape ile
biuially loi summeis of ile balmy souil. Wlai
beiiei escape ilan ile mild Micligan weailei
and waimei Gieai Lales?
Tle possible economic benefiis would also
affeci ile couniiy as a wlole. Tle fabled
Noiilwesi Passage, a iiade iouie iliougl
Canada's Aiciic Aiclipelago and ile Aiciic
Ocean, opened fully in :ooy, ile fiisi iime Aiciic
sea ice las ieceded enougl on iecoid.
"We'ie piobably o yeais alead of scledule
in ieims of ile loss of ile Aiciic sea ice," said
Mail Seiieze, a senioi scieniisi ai ile Naiional
Snow and Ice Daia Ceniei (NSIDC), io Naiional
Geogiaplic. Tle Passage is siill seasonal as ile
amouni of sea ice incieases in ile winiei and
commeicial slipping is noi yei possible. Wiil ile
piojecied incieases in iempeiaiuies, lowevei,
ile Noiilwesi Passage may become siable
enougl io become a viable alieinaiive io ile
Suez and Panama Canals. Even a seasonally open
Noiilwesi Passage would allow commeicial slip-
ping io go quiclly fiom Asia io Euiope oi even
fiom noiileasi ciiies io noiilwesiein ones.
Tleie is a downside. Micligan may also become
diiei ilan in ile pasi and could lave a sliglily
sloiiei giowing season, bui is ilai ieally iei-
iible? Wiil all ile benefiis io climaie clange,
one musi lool caiefully ai wlai exacily ile oilei
downsides aie. A landful of sli iesoiis go oui
of business and Miami sinls undei ile Ailaniic.
Is ileie ieally anyiling so bad aboui ilai? Lile
mosi anyiling, climaie clange las iis biigli side.
Maybe we slould focus moie on ile benefiis ilan

Wly aie we always iold io go
io college and eniicl ouiselves
wiil ile lnowledge given io us
by some siiange "genius?" Wly
aie we iold ilai in oidei foi us io
succeed in life, we musi ieceive
liglei leaining? Ii is because iley
wani us io giow ugly, old and full
of silly inielligence ilai won'i gei
us faiilei ilan a livelilood.
Inielligence is ile iooi of all
evil, afiei all. Do you iemembei
wlen we weie small and naive,
low we weie iold we weie beau-
iiful, piecious and adoiable? I
ceiiainly do. Wlen we giow up
and begin oui educaiion we aie no
longei iold ilose ilings. Insiead
we aie pusled io gei ligl mails
in all of oui subjecis in sclool.
Tle ieacleis and paienis lave
seen inielligence begin io seep
inio oui faces, so we aie pusled io
leep leaining and giow moie
unaiiiaciive. Ii is absoluiely
dieadfully boiing. Maybe if we
didn'i educaie ouiselves, we
could siay beauiiful, adoiable
and piecious.
Foigei college and bools
and degiees. Insiead, opi foi
a life fiee of all sucl nonsense
and io live wiil noiling in
youi lead bui ilouglis of "My,
low ile sly lools blue ioday."
Remain beauiiful. By ieceiv-
ing any foim of inielligence, I
gain ugly wiinlles, loiiid slin
fiom siiess, and my laii giows
dull and limp. Wlen I lool no
fuiilei inio a bool ilan ile
coloiful piciuies on ile covei,
I iemain simple, glowing and
f lawless. Siiiing down io an
aiiilmeiic pioblem and iiying
io solve wlai seems impossible
only leads io woiiy and ugly lines
upon a beauiiful face.
Tale, foi example, Albeii
Einsiein, aiguably one of ile
gieaiesi minds of ile :o
il
ceniuiy.
He was an absoluie cloie io lool
ai and see wlai le gained fiom lis
lifeiime. He aclieved ile minus-
cule goal of ievoluiionizing ile
woild of plysics and science, and
clanged ile way ile woild views
iime and maiiei. Suie, le became
a legend bui ai ile cosi of lis
beauiy. Bel! Wlo would wani any
of ilai?
We slould lool, insiead, io ile
iimeless beauiy of Megan Fox.
Sle las siunning, ice blue eyes
ilai see noiling moie ilan wlai
is in fioni of lei face. Hei laii is
iicl wiil coloi and iliclness, and
sle seems io lnow noiling ilai

Sle will noi be iemembeied foi
anyiling (oilei ilan alienaiing

and being publisled in liiile-iead
scieniific jouinals, Fox is spiead
acioss ile pages of vaiious men's
magazines. Wlai moie is ileie io
aspiie io?
So, I issue cauiion io my ieadeis:
If you wisl io gain inielligence
ilai will lead you down a pail
of enliglienmeni and giowil,
ii comes wiil a cosi - one's own
beauiy. Ii is a f leeiing iling afiei
all, and one musi do eveiyiling
possible io pieseive ii.
Tle enduiing novel "Tle
Piciuie of Doiian Giay," by Oscai
Wilde, comes io mind. Loid
Heniy said, "Bui beauiy, ieal
beauiy, ends wleie an inielleciual
expiession begins. Inielleci is
in iiself a mode of exaggeiaiion,
and desiioys ile laimony of any

Lool ai ile successful men in any

Remembei, deai fiiends, wlile

Tley imagine people and

Someiimes ilai jusi can'i

A glaiing example is Tom

I iead "Tle Fellowslip of

Ii leeps ilings moving and

Ii is an adapiaiion, noi ile

In Micligan ileie aie iwo biidges ilai go io Canada: ile

maling iiavel acioss ile boidei easiei.
Eveiy day, ovei a billion dollais in goods ciosses ile Ambas-
sadoi Biidge. Wlen leavy iiac clogs up ile boideis, ii cosis

ai ile biidge added an esiimaied sSoo io ile cosi of eveiy new

iive companies iiying io covei cosis of down iime.
Tle pioposed biidge, ilai las been iiying io pass iliougl
ile Senaie since :ooq, would cosi appioximaiely s:.6 billion
foi ile eniiie piojeci. Tlese cosis would be splii beiween ile
U.S. and Canada. Canada las commiiied io puiiing up so
million as a loan io Micligan io be iepaid iliougl fuiuie ioll
ievenue. Ii would lelp cui down on iiavel iime acioss ile
boidei. Wiil U.S. iiade wiil Canada going up 6% fiom
:ooq-:oio ileie is a defniie inciease in iiac. Many Republi-
cans lave been iiying foi a gieen ligli on ile piojeci, includ-
ing Goveinoi Ricl Snydei, bui some Senaiois lave been

cannoi jusiify ile building of iwo biidges. Howevei wiil
incieased iiac piojeciions foi ile nexi o yeais, up y% foi
cais and i:S% foi iiucls, ii would oveiload ile capaciiy of jusi
one biidge.
Tle cuiieni ownei of ile Ambassadoi Biidge las been
campaigning againsi building a new, publicly-owned biidge
insiead of a piivaiely-owned one lile lis. Billionaiie Manuel
Moioun bougli ile Ambassadoi Biidge o yeais ago. Today,
ile biidge males iouglly s6o million annually in ioll ievenue.
Moioun las pioposed io build a new biidge alongside ile
exisiing span, wiil iwo moie lanes and use ile Ambassadoi
Biidge as a bacl-up. Bui Canada does noi wani ilai due io
cuiieni iiac pioblems ai ile locaiion of ile boidei siaiions.
If passed, ile biidge siie would be in Deliay, an indusiiial and
iesideniial aiea. Ii was once a nice communiiy bui now is
bliglied wiil abandoned, giaii-iiddled buildings ilai would
come down io male ioom foi ile new biidge. If buili, ile
goveinmeni may use emineni domain, pei ile Fifil Amend-
meni of ile U.S. Consiiiuiion, io move people oui of ile aiea.
Opening up a new biidge in Deiioii is a good idea foi
Micligan. Ii would cieaie up io o,ooo jobs, liglien up ile
iiac acioss ile boidei, inciease iiavel beiween ile iwo
couniiies and lelp siop giidlocl ai ile boidei foi companies
dependeni on iiade, ileieby geiiing ileii paiis in iime and
possibly lowei ile cosis foi ile consumei.
Goveinoi Ricl Snydei feels ilai Micligan needs anoilei
biidge io Canada. He expecis ile siaie of Micligan, ile Uniied
Siaies goveinmeni and ile Canadian goveinmeni io pay foi
ilis s(.: billion biidge. Tle Ambassadoi Biidge is piivaiely
owned by Manuel Moioun and ii is S:-yeais old. Tle new
biidge would be a few miles away fiom ile exisiing biidge,
using up moie land. Ii would iale beiween foui and fve yeais
io compleie ilis biidge. Many people aie opposed io iis
consiiuciion and feel ilai ile money slould be used io fx
ioads in Micligan insiead.
Tle main ieason foi opposiiion is ile cosi. Tle U.S. is
alieady in debi. Tle people of Micligan slould noi lave io pay
liglei iaxes io build ilis biidge wlen ileie is an alieinaiive.
Moioun las biougli up ile idea of building anoilei biidge,
alongside ile exisiing Ambassadoi Biidge, and las oeied io
pay up io soo million foi ii.
Tlis idea would save land because ile pioposed siie is
alieady owned by Moioun wlicl means ilai ile Siaie would
noi need io use iis emineni domain powei io iale people's
louses. Emineni domain means ilai ile goveinmeni las ile
consiiiuiional iigli io iale youi piopeiiy foi a public puipose.
Tle goveinmeni las io pay foi ii, bui ileii defniiion of faii is
ofien dieieni ilan ile ownei's.
Tle goveinmeni does a loiiible job ai maling suie ioads
aie safe, wly would a new biidge be any dieieni? Micligan
ioads aie full of poiloles and ile oveipasses lave paiis ilai aie
ciumbling. Tle idea of ile goveinmeni being in claige of ile
upleep of ilis new biidge is fiigliening. Ii will end up lile all
of ile neglecied ioads of Micligan. Ii will become unsafe and
useless.
Some people wlo suppoii building ile new Deiioii-
Windsoi Biidge lile ile idea ilai ii would cieaie many new
jobs. Tle pioblem is ilai mosi of ile jobs would be consiiuc-
iion jobs wlicl mosi people aie noi qualifed foi. Tle people
wlo could do ilese jobs would also fnd woil iepaiiing ile
Ambassadoi Biidge if ilai weie ile iouie ialen. Tley could
also fnd woil building anoilei piivaiely owned biidge lile
Moioun las oeied.
Oveiall, ilis pioposed new biidge is a ieiiible idea. Ii would
luii, noi lelp, ile people of Micligan. Ii would involve ile
goveinmeni ialing land fiom iis owneis foi mucl less ilan
iley deseive, ile cosi foi consiiuciion and mainienance is
asiionomical, and ile people of Micligan would be siucl
paying foi a laige poiiion of ii iliougl oui iax dollais. Tle
goveinmeni does noi mainiain oui ioads, we cannoi expeci
ilem io leep a biidge of ilis size and impoiiance up-io-daie
and safe.
Moioun las oeied io build anoilei biidge; ile govein-
meni slould iale lim up on ilai oei. Micligan is siiuggling,
don'i male ilings laidei foi us by iaising oui iaxes foi a biidge
we don'i need.

Tle slippeiy slope is a favoiiie fallacy of ile doomsayei. Ii goes
lile ilis: "If eveni A lappens, ilen eveni B will suiely follow." Tle
slippeiy slope is a logical fallacy because ii assumes a poieniial
consequence of a decision ilai can'i be pioven. Foi example, a
common aigumeni againsi diug legalizaiion is, "If we legalize
diugs, ilen eveiyone will siaii using ilem!" Tle aigumeni assumes
a consequence ilai is noi defniie, and cannoi be confimed.
Of couise, ile beauiy of ile slippeiy slope is ilai ii can always slip
boil ways. "If we male diugs illegal because iley'ie poieniially
laimful, we'll lave io male eveiyiling poieniially laimful illegal.
Soon we won'i lave cais, lammeis oi iooilpicls!"
Seiiing up a siiaw man involves aiiacling an exaggeiaied oi
disioiied veision of someone's posiiion. Poliiical ads iend io be
clocl full of ilem. "Senaioi }aclie wanis io inciease ile lealilcaie
budgei, wleieas Senaioi Maclie wanis io iale medicaiion away
fiom ile eldeily." Ii's veiy unlilely ilai Senaioi Maclie aciually
wanis io snaicl ile pain pills oui of youi giandmoilei's land. Ii's a
cleap way io iuin youi opponeni inio an easy-io-slooi-down iaigei.
Of couise, aiiacling an exaggeiaied posiiion in ilis mannei is lile
ciiiicizing a caiicaiuie as if ii was a ploiogiapl. Ii's noi ile way io
male a convincing aigumeni.
Tle :oi: piesideniial eleciions aie coming up soon. How many
siiaw men can you spoi?
Humans aie quicl io male assumpiions and jump io conclu-
sions. "Posi loc eigo piopiei loc" means "Afiei ilis, ileiefoie,
because of ilis." Ii's a common logical fallacy ilai boils down io
"Eveni A lappened befoie eveni B, ileiefoie eveni A caused eveni
B." An example migli be, "}oln's compuiei siopped woiling. He lii
ile compuiei. Ii siaiied woiling again. Tleiefoie, }oln is ile Fonz."
Tle pioblem is, iwo evenis lappening in sequence pioves noiling,
oilei ilan ilai ile evenis lappened in sequence. Hence ile pliase,
"coiielaiion does noi imply causaiion."
Posi loc can also be iefeiied io as ile "supeisiiiion fallacy," as ii
is ile eiioi ilai spawns mosi supeisiiiious beliefs. "Eveiy iime I've
woin my ied boxei sloiis, Tle Red Wings lave won. Tleiefoie, ile
Red Wings don'i win unless I weai my ied boxei sloiis." Tle logic
gap ileie is pieiiy easy io spoi. Unless you can diaw a diieci causal
linl beiween a locley ieam and youi undeipanis, clances aie ile
iwo evenis aie unielaied. Hence ile oilei pliase, "spoiis win does
noi imply magic undeiweai."
Tleie once was a iime wlen aigumeni consisied of a civil
exclange of opinions, using aicane concepis lile ilougli and logic.
Unfoiiunaiely, in ioday's woild, an aigumeni usually consisis of:
"I'm veiy loud!"
"Ol yeal? Well I'm even loudei!"
In an eoii io male a ieiuin io ile golden days of aigumeni, we
pieseni a ciasl couise in logical fallacies. Heie aie iliee common
lapses in ieason ilai you slould be awaie of.

In Micligan ileie aie iwo biidges ilai go io Canada: ile
Blue Waiei Biidge in Poii Huion and ile Ambassadoi Biidge
in Deiioii, wlicl is ile main supply line io many companies
on boil sides of ile iivei. Boil couniiies wani io add anoilei
biidge foi seveial ieasons: if ileie is an aiiacl on ile biidge oi
some iype of a pioblem and ile biidge las io close and ilen
ileie would be billions of dollais and lois of iime losi. A
second span would also cui down on ile iiac on one biidge,
maling iiavel acioss ile boidei easiei.
Eveiy day, ovei a billion dollais in goods ciosses ile Ambas-
sadoi Biidge. Wlen leavy iiac clogs up ile boideis, ii cosis
companies sucl as Foid, Cliyslei and Geneial Moiois iime
and money. Tlese companies slip pioducis ovei ile biidge
and use a sysiem called jusi-in-iime deliveiy wlicl allows
companies noi io sioie paiis iliougloui ile plani bui io
iemain ai ile vendoi uniil iley aie iunning low on paiis
needed. If ileie is leavy iiac on ile biidge, ii could iun ile
plani oui of paiis and slui down ile facioiy. Lasi yeai, delays
ai ile biidge added an esiimaied sSoo io ile cosi of eveiy new
velicle sold in ile U.S. and Canada. Tlis was due io auiomo-
iive companies iiying io covei cosis of down iime.
Tle pioposed biidge, ilai las been iiying io pass iliougl
ile Senaie since :ooq, would cosi appioximaiely s:.6 billion
foi ile eniiie piojeci. Tlese cosis would be splii beiween ile
U.S. and Canada. Canada las commiiied io puiiing up so
million as a loan io Micligan io be iepaid iliougl fuiuie ioll
ievenue. Ii would lelp cui down on iiavel iime acioss ile
boidei. Wiil U.S. iiade wiil Canada going up 6% fiom
:ooq-:oio ileie is a defniie inciease in iiac. Many Republi-
cans lave been iiying foi a gieen ligli on ile piojeci, includ-
ing Goveinoi Ricl Snydei, bui some Senaiois lave been
sialling, iepoiiing ilai wiil iiac down some o%, iley
cannoi jusiify ile building of iwo biidges. Howevei wiil
incieased iiac piojeciions foi ile nexi o yeais, up y% foi
cais and i:S% foi iiucls, ii would oveiload ile capaciiy of jusi
one biidge.
Tle cuiieni ownei of ile Ambassadoi Biidge las been
campaigning againsi building a new, publicly-owned biidge
insiead of a piivaiely-owned one lile lis. Billionaiie Manuel
Moioun bougli ile Ambassadoi Biidge o yeais ago. Today,
ile biidge males iouglly s6o million annually in ioll ievenue.
Moioun las pioposed io build a new biidge alongside ile
exisiing span, wiil iwo moie lanes and use ile Ambassadoi
Biidge as a bacl-up. Bui Canada does noi wani ilai due io
cuiieni iiac pioblems ai ile locaiion of ile boidei siaiions.
If passed, ile biidge siie would be in Deliay, an indusiiial and
iesideniial aiea. Ii was once a nice communiiy bui now is
bliglied wiil abandoned, giaii-iiddled buildings ilai would
come down io male ioom foi ile new biidge. If buili, ile
goveinmeni may use emineni domain, pei ile Fifil Amend-
meni of ile U.S. Consiiiuiion, io move people oui of ile aiea.
Opening up a new biidge in Deiioii is a good idea foi
Micligan. Ii would cieaie up io o,ooo jobs, liglien up ile
iiac acioss ile boidei, inciease iiavel beiween ile iwo
couniiies and lelp siop giidlocl ai ile boidei foi companies
dependeni on iiade, ileieby geiiing ileii paiis in iime and
possibly lowei ile cosis foi ile consumei.
Goveinoi Ricl Snydei feels ilai Micligan needs anoilei
biidge io Canada. He expecis ile siaie of Micligan, ile Uniied
Siaies goveinmeni and ile Canadian goveinmeni io pay foi
ilis s(.: billion biidge. Tle Ambassadoi Biidge is piivaiely
owned by Manuel Moioun and ii is S:-yeais old. Tle new
biidge would be a few miles away fiom ile exisiing biidge,
using up moie land. Ii would iale beiween foui and fve yeais
io compleie ilis biidge. Many people aie opposed io iis
consiiuciion and feel ilai ile money slould be used io fx
ioads in Micligan insiead.
Tle main ieason foi opposiiion is ile cosi. Tle U.S. is
alieady in debi. Tle people of Micligan slould noi lave io pay
liglei iaxes io build ilis biidge wlen ileie is an alieinaiive.
Moioun las biougli up ile idea of building anoilei biidge,
alongside ile exisiing Ambassadoi Biidge, and las oeied io
pay up io soo million foi ii.
Tlis idea would save land because ile pioposed siie is
alieady owned by Moioun wlicl means ilai ile Siaie would
noi need io use iis emineni domain powei io iale people's
louses. Emineni domain means ilai ile goveinmeni las ile
consiiiuiional iigli io iale youi piopeiiy foi a public puipose.
Tle goveinmeni las io pay foi ii, bui ileii defniiion of faii is
ofien dieieni ilan ile ownei's.
Tle goveinmeni does a loiiible job ai maling suie ioads
aie safe, wly would a new biidge be any dieieni? Micligan
ioads aie full of poiloles and ile oveipasses lave paiis ilai aie
ciumbling. Tle idea of ile goveinmeni being in claige of ile
upleep of ilis new biidge is fiigliening. Ii will end up lile all
of ile neglecied ioads of Micligan. Ii will become unsafe and
useless.
Some people wlo suppoii building ile new Deiioii-
Windsoi Biidge lile ile idea ilai ii would cieaie many new
jobs. Tle pioblem is ilai mosi of ile jobs would be consiiuc-
iion jobs wlicl mosi people aie noi qualifed foi. Tle people
wlo could do ilese jobs would also fnd woil iepaiiing ile
Ambassadoi Biidge if ilai weie ile iouie ialen. Tley could
also fnd woil building anoilei piivaiely owned biidge lile
Moioun las oeied.
Oveiall, ilis pioposed new biidge is a ieiiible idea. Ii would
luii, noi lelp, ile people of Micligan. Ii would involve ile
goveinmeni ialing land fiom iis owneis foi mucl less ilan
iley deseive, ile cosi foi consiiuciion and mainienance is
asiionomical, and ile people of Micligan would be siucl
paying foi a laige poiiion of ii iliougl oui iax dollais. Tle
goveinmeni does noi mainiain oui ioads, we cannoi expeci
ilem io leep a biidge of ilis size and impoiiance up-io-daie
and safe.
Moioun las oeied io build anoilei biidge; ile govein-
meni slould iale lim up on ilai oei. Micligan is siiuggling,
don'i male ilings laidei foi us by iaising oui iaxes foi a biidge
we don'i need.

Tle new iiend in Hollywood
is ialing an old liieiaiuie classic
and iuining ii inio a movie,
adding some of ilai famous
Hollywood flavoi. Sadly, ii does
noi always woil. Tlis yeai's
example is a sieampunl adapia-
iion of ile classic sioiy, "Tle
Tliee Musleieeis." Wiiiien by
Alexandei Dumas in iS((, ii's a
supeiioi adveniuie sioiy wiil
spies, swoid figliing, leioes,
damsels, villains and suspense.
Ii iales place in Paiis ciica i6:
wleie ile ciiy is splii beiween
iwo leadeis: ile evil Caidinal
Riclelieu and ile good King
Louis XIII. Tle Musleieeis aie
allies io ile good King Louis,
as ile ioyal guaids. To many
guaids ii is a job, bui io one,
D'Aiiagnan, ii is lis dieam. He
iiavels io Paiis on a quesi io
join ile Musleieeis. Noi only
does le join, bui geis ile piivi-
lege io be iiained by ile besi:
Ailos, Poiilos and Aiamis.
D'Aiiagnan quiclly discoveis
a conspiiacy ilai foices ile
migliy adveniuieis io iiavel
cioss couniiy foi a jeweliy luni
io defend ile beloved queen's
lonoi.
"Tle Tliee Musleieeis" is
Alexandei Dumas' eailiesi
woil and many considei ii
among lis besi alongside
"Tle Couni of Monie
Ciisio"and "Tle
Man in ile Iion
Masl." Ii's a
gieai adveniuie sioiy ilai las
eveiyiling fiom gieai swoid
figlis io gieai villains. Tle
bool is a piime example of
lisioiical ficiion. Ii is aciually
based fiom ile memoiis of
Comie De La Feie. Tle majoiiiy
of ile claiacieis weie aciu-
ally ieal people lile Caidinal
Riclelieu and King Louis XIII.
Dumas painis a iomaniic
adveniuious piciuie foi ile
bool bui does noi iale away
any of ile main ploi.
"Tle Tliee Musleieeis" was
publisled siiangely, foi ii was
nevei iniended io be a novel,
bui as a seiies foi a newspapei.
Dumas wioie a new clapiei
foi eacl issue of ile papei. Tle
piinied clapieis would end in a
clifflangei, wleie ile damsel is
lidnapped oi leioes aie lefi in
a neai deail siiuaiion. Wlen ii
was publisled as a novel, eacl
clapiei ended in sucl suspense
ilai ile ieadei would noi be
able io pui ile bool down.
Tle sligli downside io ilis
classic novel is ile bool is
leavy wiil daied dialogue and
can seem veiy diawn oui and
complicaied. Tle swoid figli
scenes aie wiiiien ioo sloii.
Do noi cloose io iead ile new
Riclaid Peveai iianslaiion.
He iiied io modeinize ii and

sioiy and poeiic language.
Insiead go foi ile William

faiilful io Dumas' oiiginal iale
lowevei many of ile sexual

If you wani, leain Fiencl io

Genre. Electro House
Foi mosi of ile lasi decade, ii seemed
lile Dafi Punl would lold a monopoly
on Fiencl-pioduced disco-louse. Tlen,
fiom ile depils of Paiis spiung ile
eleciionic duo }usiice. Tleii :ooy debui,
"Cioss," iool eveiyone by suipiise, wiil
iis mangled beais, slaiply-cui samples
and deliciously disioiied bass lines. Foui
yeais laiei, iley launcled ileii liglly-
aniicipaied soplomoie ielease, "Audio,
Video, Disco."
}usiice desciibed "AVD" as a "dayiime
album," io complimeni ile dailei ione of
"Cioss." Tle 'yos dance club influence is
mucl moie pionounced on "AVD." Tle
album opens wiil "Hoisepowei," a disco
ioclei compleie wiil scieaming guiiais and
oiclesiial accompanimeni. Laiei on, a fluie
solo appeais oui of nowleie on ile iiacl
"On'n'On" . wlen's ile lasi iime you leaid
one of ilose ouiside of a }eilio Tull iecoid?
Unfoiiunaiely, foi all iis giandeui,
"AVD" is a buzzsaw wiil a bluni blade
and no eleciiic cuiieni. Tle eneigeiic
pulse ilai diove "Cioss" is dulled and
dissipaied on ilis album. Tle music is
ai iis besi wlen }usiice foigoes ile acidic
giooves aliogeilei and focuses on build-
ing waves of biigli, pulsaiing melody.
Tle iiile iiacl males good use of ilis
ieclnique, wiil a soaiing vocal cloius
ilai is simple bui wondeifully infeciious.
Ai iis woisi, ile album feels lile "}usiice
liie" - lowei in caloiies bui lacling flavoi.
Tle iiacl "Canon" leailens bacl io
ile ciuncling iiffs of "Cioss," bui nevei
develops inio anyiling speciaculai. Ai ile
lowesi end of ile speciium, "Biianvision"
iales so long io gei ievved up ilai ii feels
lile a song made of y peiceni iniio. And
even wlen ile ciescendo liis, ii siill feels
limp and lifeless.
Tlis "dayiime" album slows wly
ile besi paiiies lappen ai nigli. Wlile
"Cioss" was laid and laisl, "AVD" is
ligli and melodic, bui ii comes ai ile
expense of ile edge ilai made "Cioss"
sucl an excepiional album. Tle spealei-
ciippling disioiiion ilai made iiacls lile
"Tle Waieis of Nazaieil" ciawl inio youi

As a sequel io an album ilai iaised

a palaiable ielease foi suie, and a decade

Unfoiiunaiely, in :oii, ii's jusi olay.
The Bottom Line:
"Audio, Video, Disco" lacls ile ievolu-

Maya Azucena

Genre. Neo soul
"Ciy Love" is slelved in ile neo
soul seciion, bui ile album cannoi be
limiied so simply. Giammy winnei Maya
Azucena bends genies in ilis piogies-
sive compilaiion, including sounds of
smooil jazz, funly blues, island beais
and elemenis of lip lop. A cognizani

Azucena las gaileied all of ile passions

Wlile ile iiile iiacl is peifecily poised
io licl off ile album wiil a call io social

on ilis album is an exquisiie collaboia-
iion wiil Cliis Rob coveiing Donnie
Hailaway's "Liiile Gleiio Boy." Tlis
Hailaway song seives as ile veiy iooi of

Enjoying "Tle Binding of Isaac" is
a bii lile discoveiing you lave a iasie
foi luman flesl. Eveiy synapse in youi
body iells you ilai ilis is piofoundly
wiong, and yei you can'i lelp going
bacl foi seconds. Cieaied by ile evil
masieiminds belind "Supei Meai Boy"
and "Gisl," "Tle Binding of Isaac" is a
ieleniless and fuiiously enieiiaining
expeiience . piovided you leave youi
soul ai ile dooi.
You play as Isaac, a small clild wlo
doesn'i lave a caie in ile woild . ilai
is, uniil lis mom geis a message fiom
God ilai le is unclean and needs io
be isolaied in lis ioom, siiipped of lis
cloiles and saciificed wiil a liiclen
lnife. Luclily, Isaac manages io escape
io ile basemeni befoie le's siabbed
io deail. Unfoiiunaiely, ile basemeni
is filled wiil loiiific monsieis and
demonic cieaiuies, all gusling blood
and bile and all piepaied io iip off
Isaac's slin and weai ii lile a jaclei.
Aimed only wiil lis ieais, Isaac seis
off io escape ile basemeni and lis psy-
clopailic moilei. If ilis sioiy sounds
ioo dail and depiessing foi youi iasies,
don'i woiiy. Tlis iale of violence, ieiioi
and sadness is played oui in a playful,
coloiful, caiioony siyle.
Tle game is a iop-down aciion RPG
slooiei wiil a leavy "Zelda" influence.
You figli youi way iliougl a seiies of
dungeons, slaying enemies, colleci-
ing upgiades and ialing down bosses.
Tle caicl is ilai you only lave one
life io gei iliougl ilem all, and eveiy
dungeon is iandomly geneiaied. So no
siiaiegy guide is going io lelp you leie.
You'ie on youi own, wiil only youi wiis
and ieflexes io pioieci you.
Youi main weapon is youi ieais,
wlicl you fiie lile iound bulleis of
puiesi soiiow. Tliougloui ile game
you can colleci upgiades - all of wlicl
aliei youi plysical appeaiance - io
inciease youi damage, speed, iange and
ieai pioduciion, as well as add special
effecis lile claige slois oi loming
ieais. In addiiion io youi main weapon
you also lave single-use iiems (includ-
ing pills and iaioi caids) as well as
special weapons (including Anaiclisi
Coolbool and My Liiile Unicoin)
ilai ieclaige eveiy couple of iooms.
Howevei, you can only caiiy one iiem
and one special weapon ai a iime. Also,
iiems and enemies don'i iespawn, so
youi iesouices aie always limiied. Tlis
males "Isaac" a suipiisingly siiaiegic
veniuie - leaining low and wlen io
use youi piecious leys, bombs and
iiems is as impoiiani as leaining low
io dodge enemy aiiacls.
Maling ile eniiie game iandomly-
geneiaied is ieally a genius maneuvei,
especially wlen combined wiil ile
exiieme difficuliy of ile game. Insiead
of giinding youi way iliougl ile same
levels ovei and ovei - because you will
die . frequently - eveiy play is a new
expeiience wiil new clallenges. Tle
only downside aboui ile iandom gen-
eiaiion is ilai lady lucl will occasion-
ally iliow you a ciippling landicap,
usually in ile foim of a lacl of leys.
Tle visuals aie ile icing on ile
ciaclbiained cale. Tle cieaiuies aie
as sicl and iwisied as anyiling you
migli find in a "Sileni Hill" game,
including puppeis wiil blood diipping
oui of ileii empiy eye socleis. Noi
io be ouidone, ile bosses aie flai-oui
disgusiing, fiom Tle Dule of Flies, a
floaiing giey demon wiil lis eyes sewn
slui wlo belcles insecis, io Guidy,
a blood-spiiiing imp wlo lides in a
mouniain of oigans and eniiails. Ii's
laid io iell wlai's moie disiuibing: ile
cieaiuies ilemselves oi ile faci ilai
iley'ie piesenied in sucl a fun Disney-
esque faslion.
Ii's as if ile developeis of "Supei
Meai Boy" sai down and said, "You
ilougli ilai was demenied and
iidiculously difficuli? Well waicl ilis!"
Wlile "SMB" was all aboui piecision,
iepeiiiion and iiial and eiioi, "Isaac"
is all aboui maling decisions, adapi-
ing and being ieady foi wlaievei lies
alead. Tle game is definiiely funny,
alilougl ii geis iis lumoi fiom a place
of biiiei blaclness, ile liles of wlicl
could only be found in ile dailesi
iecesses of ile inieinei. Ii's noi a game
foi eveiyone, bui ilen ii was nevei
supposed io be. "Tle Binding of Isaac"
is a game foi ile laidcoie - playeis
wiil fingeis of sieel, ile paiience of a
zen masiei, and a leaii of onyx. If ilis
sounds lile you, ilen lii "download"
and buclle up, because you'ie in foi a
disiuibingly good iime.
