Happy Birthday, Michigan...

LSSU Issues 37th Annual "Banished Words" List

I always enjoy reading Lake Superior State University's annual list of banished words. The 2012 edition has some terrific selections, like "trickeration," which I've heard some NFL and college football announcers use far too often. "Ginormous" is another fine choice, and I'll bet someone has managed to use both in one sentence.

Ex-Wolverine to appear at Yost with Stanley Cup

I just published an article to Examiner.com about Steve Kampfer's visit to Ann Arbor on August 25 with the Stanley Cup. Wish I could go, hope you can, especially since it could raise a lot of money for a wonderful medical facility. 

U-M website addresses safety concerns

I just wrote an article for Examiner.com about a new page on a U-M website set up to address safety concerns which have arisen due to the assaults that have taken place in Ann Arbor recently. I applaud the school for taking this action, especially with the fall semester beginning in a few weeks.

Whenever possible, I'm trying to link to articles that I've written on my Examiner page here in The Pulice Report, including this one from today about a great new venture by the U-M Health System.

On game day, it will be GameDay

I wrote an article last night on my Examiner page about the ESPN preview program College GameDay making a visit to Ann Arbor for the upcoming Michigan-Notre Dame matchup at the Big House on September 10. 

The Final Chapter: Borders to Liquidate

By now, many of you have heard the news. AnnArbor.com is one of the many publications across the country and around the world running articles tonight about the demise of Borders. Many of you also know that I worked for nearly a decade at Borders, first at the Birmingham, Michigan store (#180) on Woodward Avenue, then for more than seven years at the corporate office in Ann Arbor.

Look for updates here in the Pulice Report about liquidation proceedings.

Read a pair of U-M Press novels for free

 
This is such an exciting development for the University of Michigan Press, about which I was happy to report today on my Examiner page. My thanks to Heather Newman at the U-M Press for her assistance.
