We have a winner in this round. Gov. Jennifer Granholm came out of last night's debate with a slight win, according to a n 11-person State News panel.
Best part of waking up? Bonding over breakfast One of Tom Izzo's secret weapons this season?
While living in Chicago a few years ago, I witnessed something quite surreal as I studied near Grant Park across from the famed Michigan Avenue. As though I were gawking at an intriguing television screen, from across the street I watched an Amish family of seven or eight explore a block of Chicago — their complete plainness contrasted by the elaborate, superfluousness that is downtown big city. The quiet children amid honking horns.
A contractor hired to change the lighting in buildings around campus used uncertified electricians to do a majority of the work, according to a letter sent to MSU officials by an electrician's union Tuesday. Tom Eastwood, assistant business manager of IBEW Local 665, the union based in Lansing, said of the 22 electricians working on the project from November 2003 to July 2004, only one had the correct certification to be doing the job. "State law requires there be licensed supervision at all times on a project," Eastwood said.
North Korea's claim that it has tested a nuclear weapon is raising questions and provoking fear around the world. The face behind the arsenal is North Korean leader Kim Jong Il, who, since his reign began in 1994, has isolated his country from the world, resulting in widespread poverty and famine.
This is in response to Tom Keller's "Gubernatorial debate observations," (SN 10/4). While I agree with Keller's view that debates are usually boring, I think he missed a vital part of this debate. In his column, he wrote that at 8:07 p.m., Gov.
On Oct. 2, while watching the debate of Gov. Jennifer Granholm and Dick DeVos televised over WKAR-TV, I was appalled at Tim Skubick's total lack of decency. Granholm handled his question of whether she was indirectly responsible for the deaths of Ricky Holland, but this question was very inappropriate and way below the belt.
In response to Christopher Bunke's letter "Leftist groups also offend with activities on campus," (SN 10/3), claiming that MSU liberals are only outraged by racism perpetrated by the right wing is absolutely ludicrous. I consider myself a liberal, and I'm appalled not only by "Catch an Illegal Immigrant Day," but also the mentioned PETA protests likening animal harvesting to the Holocaust and slavery. I feel that both PETA and Young Americans for Freedom should be ashamed of the methods they have used in the past to make their point.
When John Herbst told his friends and family he is gay, it wasn't easy. He knew he was gay, but he didn't quite know how to tell everyone, he said. "It was bubbling up inside me," he said.
I'm not going to write about how it's not John L. Smith's fault that we lost, because I have seen some mistakes, and there are some things that he and the coaching staff need to fix.
For all of Ryan Baranik's life, he has been a Detroit Tigers fan. And all that time he's suffered through embarrassing losses and lackluster seasons. It didn't matter if the Tigers won or lost this year, the hospitality business junior said, because he still would have watched 70 percent of their games — just like every other season. "I've been going to the games since Tiger Stadium.
Correction: Tammam Alwan's name was spelled incorrectly in this story. The State News put together a panel of students and professors to cut through the campaign rhetoric.
Grand Rapids — The sparring continued Tuesday night when Republican challenger Dick DeVos and Democratic Gov.
Four MSU football players were involved in a fight Friday morning in the Northern Tier, East Lansing police said. Kellen Freeman-Davis, Eric Andino, Barre Mackie and Jeremy McGinnis took part in a 1:30 a.m.
Even though carbohydrates are no longer stereotyped as a dieter's worst nightmare, it doesn't mean eating bread is a free-for-all. Distinguishing nutritious breads from tasty, dessert-type breads is an important factor when consuming the daily dose of carbs, experts say. "Whole grain bread is healthier than white bread," said Diane Fischer, a registered dietitian at Sparrow Hospital.
Dear Dr. D., I read your column, "No one is too young to get educated about breast cancer detection," (SN 10/4), on breast cancer and women, and it started me thinking about my health.
John Cooper has seen nights like this before. The average person would have perceived the rainy, gloomy weather on campus a few weeks ago as melancholy.
They say when you lose a child, you never get over it. I can say for a fact that this is true. It has been six years since I lost my son, Brandon, to a tragic accident.
After nine consecutive NCAA tournament appearances, success for the MSU men's basketball team has become, as head coach Tom Izzo said, "expected more than it is appreciated." So with Maurice Ager, Paul Davis and Shannon Brown — who combined for almost 70 percent of MSU's scoring last season — gone to the NBA, even Izzo can't blame those who project the Spartans to have a down year by their own standards. But that's all right with him — he's had plenty of success playing the underdog. "When you're constantly picked to win, it's not as much fun for anybody," Izzo said Tuesday at Media Day.
Freshman defenseman Mike Ratchuk couldn't sleep during his pregame nap before Friday's exhibition game against Wilfrid Laurier.
