LPGA Volvik pro players Chella Choi and Cheyenne Woods at CS Mott Children's Hospital in Ann Arbor

Exclusive Photograph of One of the Winners of Inaugural CS Mott Congenital Heart Center LPGA Volvik Pro-Am

May 23, 2018
Some explanation is in order here. The image above is obviously not from the Travis Pointe Country Club golf course, and the CS Mott Children’s Hospital Pro-Am was the furthest thing imaginable from a round of putt-putt golf. [1,2,3] Despite a bit of bothersome rain, teams led by Beth Allen, Katherine Perry, and Katherine Kirk took top honors there. Moreover, according to a spokesperson from the University of Michigan, this event raised more than $220,000 ....

Novi Police presentation emphasized vulnerabilities in faith-based facilities – Part 1: Defining the problem

September 7, 2019
It’s not enough to argue — or, for that matter, even to provide irrefutable evidence — that religious gathering places are uniquely vulnerable and attractive to active shooter attacks. [1-3] Citing a 2018 FBI Active Shooter Study, the Novi Police Department again noted earlier today that 4.1% of these incidents took place in churches, synagogues, temples, mosques, and affiliated properties. These are among a broader category of “soft targets.” [4,5] In leading this presentation titled ....

May 6, 2019
From the Editor— It’s become increasingly common to hear presidential candidates’ positions on Roe v Wade dismissed as a non-issue, arguing that it is “settled law.” [1-4] I’ve often questioned the fundamental premise of this debate — for both sides. We’re talking about a Supreme Court Opinion here. The United States Constitution makes it clear that laws come from the legislative branch. This was also covered in an episode of Schoolhouse Rock as well for those who eschew reading ....

Now there’s a book to tell you all about the “Giant Tire” off eastbound I-94, just past DTW en route to Detroit

February 9, 2019
If we characterized it as a Southeast Michigan icon akin to The Sphinx, would anyone feel compelled to argue? [1] Those who have lived here for any length of time have doubtless many times passed the “Giant Tire” — currently emblazoned with Uniroyal branding. Perhaps on your way to one of the casinos in downtown Detroit. Certainly if you’ve every had a stake in the automobile industry. [2] One might imagine that much of the ....
