MSU Alumnus and Muskegon native spins novel from a plausible accident during the Cuban missile crisisNewsletter
"Two nuclear bombs buried in the sandy shores off Cuba during the 1962 Cuban missile crisis are rediscovered by a madman who uses them to threaten the presidents of the United States and Russia, who are about to engage in summit talks. Can NSA analyst Dalton Crusoe stop him before the clock strikes zero hour?
Such is the premise of The Tarasov Solution (Charles River Press, 2009), a new novel by Richard Trevae, ’68.
A chemical engineer and business entrepreneur based in Muskegon, Trevae relies extensively on his world travel experience to tell this gripping story.
Richard Trevae is the pen name of Thomas Eurich, president of the Treline Development Group, Inc."

Time to Tackle Right to Work
American Thinker: Time to Tackle Right to Work
"But there is another vital reason why these five states should adopt right to work laws.
States with right to work laws have lower unemployment rates than states without right to work.
Unions are, in every sense of the word (except raw power for leftist bosses), an anachronism.
Union dues come out of the income of union workers, reducing their real wages.
Union contracts increase labor costs for employers and so induce businesses to leave for places which allow market forces to determine terms of employment.
The cumulative effect for highly unionized states, like Michigan, is nothing short of calamitous.
As unemployment rates rise and people leave for greener pastures, home values drop and companies forced to operate manacled by union contracts go belly-up."

"* The human interest story of the night, of course, was the reunion between Draymond Green and his older half-brother, Torrian Harris, a senior guard for the Mavericks.
They played in front of more than 30 family members and friends.
Green was glad his brother got to play at Breslin -- Harris had already graduated when Green led Saginaw High to consecutive Class A state titles there -- and show off his athleticism (which he certainly did with one emphatic lob dunk).
“I always talk about him, how high he can jump and stuff,' Green said, 'and for them to get to see him play and for him to play on this stage, he was never able to reach the Division I stage at a school like Michigan State, so for him to even play on the same court as us is an honor for him and it was an honor for me as well.”
Izzo put together the game at Green's request, as he did a year ago in getting Isaiah Dahlman and younger brother Noah (Wofford) together at Breslin."
"Green asked head coach Tom Izzo if the Spartans could host UN-O in an exhibition and Izzo obliged, setting up a brotherly reunion at the Bres for the second consecutive year (though last year's Dahlman family reunion against Wafford took place in the regular season).
"Usually I try to play the instate teams, but this is a unique (situation)," Izzo said after Friday’s practice.
"And after looking at what happened with Isaiah (Dahlman) and his brother, it's very seldom you get to do that in college basketball and so I really did it as a favor to Day-Day."

Reshaping college basketball's future
Reshaping college basketball's future
"Is Madsen out for equality or is she just trying to piss off men?
It has to be asked when you read quotes like this:
'Perhaps the most hurtful times were receiving emails from female students around the state asking me how it felt to be the most hated person in Michigan or telling that I ruined their lives.'
Certainly doesn't sound like her push for 'equality' is helping.
This scheduling complaint is beyond stupid.
If she gets her way, she will be hurting women.
Everyone will just leave after the men's game.
What kind of impact does she think that will have on women?
It will just make them feel like second-class citizens.
The fact of the matter is that men's basketball is far more popular than women's basketball.
What would her next step be?
Sue to force everyone to stay for the women's game?"
