Izzo stays 2010 - College Basketball Nation Blog - ESPN
"I’ll admit it.
I like Tom Izzo.
I like how he coaches.
I like what he stands for.
I like how he treats people and I like that, in a business I fear is losing its characters along with its character, he doesn’t take himself terribly seriously.
(Anyone who can show up at Midnight Madness dressed as Sparty one year and a hippie the next doesn’t take himself too seriously)."

Black Flight is the New Worry for Detroit - WSJ.com
"DETROIT—This shrinking city needs to hang on to people like Johnette Barham: taxpaying, middle-class professionals who invest in local real estate, work and play downtown, and make their home here.

Ms. Barham just left.
And she's not coming back.

In seven years as a homeowner in Detroit, she endured more than 10 burglaries and break-ins at her house and a nearby rental property she owned.
Still, she defied friends' pleas to leave as she fortified her home with locks, bars, alarms and a dog."
