Nitro Cold Brew

Nitro cold brew is bubbling up in coffee shops almost everywhere. The nitrogen-infused beverage became one of the hottest new offerings for coffee lovers looking for something different.   The cold brew — made by steeping coffee grinds in cold water for multiple hours — is dispensed from a stout tap, similar to what you’d find at your local bar.

Warren Towers Modernization — $550 million


Howard Zinn taught at Boston University from 1964 to 1988.  His intellectual legacy has not held up well among serious historians.  Zinn presented American history as a simplistic morality play of evil elites versus virtuous “the people.” Scholars across the political spectrum, including left-leaning historians like Michael Kazin and Sam Wineburg, have criticized it as a “polemic disguised as history” and a Manichean fable rather than rigorous scholarship.

The book is filled with selective quoting, decontextualized facts, major omissions, and heavy reliance on secondary sources that support his Marxist-tinged narrative. Detailed critiques, such as Mary Grabar’s Debunking Howard Zinn, document numerous factual distortions regarding Columbus, the American Revolution, slavery, WWII, and more. 

Zinn openly rejected “disinterested scholarship” in favor of activism, producing advocacy rather than balanced analysis. While influential in activist and popular circles, its methodological flaws and lack of nuance have kept it outside mainstream academic respect. 

 

City Journal (February 6): “The Downfall of Ibram X. Kendi”

The Common Cup

Michigan Central Summer Fall | Michigan Central Winter Spring

Home

Open every day since 2007: offering locally sourced coffee, teas, baked goods, and a welcoming space for studying or events.  Across Linden Street from First Presbyterian Church of Ann Arbor, Angell Elementary School and footsteps away from Chi Omega and seven other sororities and fraternity houses on the oddly-shaped lot bounded by South University. Washtenaw and Hill Streets.

Glen Paulsen Architect

The University Lutheran Chapel in Ann Arbor, Michigan was designed by architect Glen Paulsen in 1959; a local Ann Arbor architect known for his modernist work and close ties to the University of Michigan community. The chapel is one of his most celebrated designs and is widely regarded as an outstanding example of mid-20th-century ecclesiastical architecture in the Midwest. The dramatic hyperbolic-paraboloid roof and the integration of natural light through colored glass strips are signature elements of the building.
His work often emphasized clean lines, structural expression (e.g., exposed concrete and steel), and integration with natural surroundings, influenced by his time with Eero Saarinen and his teaching roles at the University of Michigan and Cranbrook Academy of Art. While the University Lutheran Chapel (1959) in Ann Arbor exemplifies his ecclesiastical modernism with its hyperbolic-paraboloid roof, below is a curated list of his other key projects, drawn from biographical records, architectural archives, and historical surveys.  In the fullness of time his private practice from 1958 to 1969 morphed into TMP (Tarapata-MacMahon-Paulsen, 1969–1977).

“From College Town to Chinatown” | The Chronicle of Higher Education, December 2018 This article directly addresses how the boom in Asian international students (heavily Chinese) has turned numerous U.S. college towns into “quasi-Chinatowns,” with examples of economic benefits from Asian-owned businesses but also vulnerabilities when enrollment drops. It covers the nationwide trend across multiple universities.

New $400M Residential Complex Tempe Campus | Unnamed Third Party Developer


 

Joseph Stalin is often credited with observing that “those who cast the votes decide nothing; those who count the votes decide everything.” The remark underscores that the integrity of tabulation, not merely turnout, determines outcomes.

In Maricopa County this insight resonates because the jurisdiction’s sheer scale (roughly 60% of Arizona’s voters), heavy reliance on mail ballots, signature verification, and multi-day counting routinely produce delayed results in razor-close races. After 2020, when Biden’s narrow statewide margin hinged on the county, intense scrutiny fell on the counting process itself—printer malfunctions, curing procedures, equipment audits, and the controversial Cyber Ninjas review.

Compounding this is the concentration of a large, predominantly Democratic-leaning student population at Arizona State University in Tempe. This sizable demographic bloc can shift close countywide margins, making the precise counting and verification of their (often mail or early) ballots a focal point of contention and further illustrating why control of the tabulation process becomes decisive in high-stakes contests.
