Mackinac Bridge designated a National Historic Civil Engineering Landmark
Aug. 12, 2010 -- Michigan's iconic Mackinac Bridge was designated a National Historic Civil Engineering Landmark today in a morning ceremony at Bridge View Park in St. Ignace involving members of the American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE), the Mackinac Bridge Authority (MBA) and MDOT.
ASCE established its historic civil engineering designation program in 1964 to recognize and encourage preservation of landmarks, as well as promote historical awareness of civil engineering. To date, more than 200 projects worldwide have earned this prominent designation.
The Mackinac Bridge is currently the third-longest suspension bridge in the world and the longest suspension bridge between anchorages in the Western Hemisphere. More information about the bridge can be found online at mackinacbridge.org.

The Locals In These Cities Ain't Got No Time For Your Tourist Nonsense
Apparently, Miami has the worst locals.
That's according to readers of Travel + Leisure, who were asked to rank cities with populations of more than 100,000 based on things like restaurants, museums, how walkable the city is and how friendly the locals are.
Miami, which came in second last year, was ranked the absolute worst this time around, partly because it scored high for snobbiness.
It was also recently named the worst U.S. city to live in in by 24/7 Wall St., which looked at crime rates, affordable housing and more when determining its list.
Phoenix shot up Travel + Leisure's rudest city list to No. 2 this year, and ranking No. 3 was the Big Apple.
That's actually a bit of a drop for New York City, which was named the rudest in 2015. But New Yorkers aren't necessarily getting nicer. Instead, Travel + Leisure thinks tourists have come to expect a certain demeanor as part of their authentic New York City experience.
It currently ranks sixth out of the top 10 unfriendliest cities in the world, though.

Los Angeles was ranked the fourth rudest in the U.S., and the City of Brotherly Love rounded out the top five.
Although, snobbiness may not be Philadelphia's problem. Thrillist named it America's angriest city back in May.
Salt Lake City, Boston, Dallas, Colorado Springs and Ann Arbor, Michigan, were also named on Travel + Leisure's rudest American cities list.
As for finding a friendly city to travel to? Travel + Leisure readers suggest San Antonio, Houston or Madison, Wisconsin.

Katy and Clayton Pratt: The Touring Tandem | Talks at Google
Beginning in July of 2014, the Pratts boldly left their comfort zones and ventured out on an “unthinkable-to-most-people” tandem bike trip around the world. Their teamwork and stamina took them to 28 countries in 280 days, spanning over 10,000 kilometers! Along the way, they were faced with a diversity of physical and emotional challenges (see more on their blog, thetouringtandem.com).
Now that they’ve settled back in Ann Arbor, Katy is back at Google, Clayton is back in medical school at the University of Michigan. They came into Google to share their amazing story with us.
My Painting of Illinois & Michigan Canal - Lock 14 and 15 in LaSalle IL around 1900
I spent over two months working on this painting and i must say it was not easy for me. But i am glad i made the goal and stuck with it. I will have prints available for those who are interested. I was aided by many photos i collected of the area through the local libraries and other historians of the area. Each picture offered new details. My aim was to be as accurrate as i could be. The canal boat IRENE was named after a boat that traversed the canal. The train type is also indicitive of a late 1890s steam loco with wood-sided coaches. The steam boat also was duplicated from a boat in LaSalle at one time. The factories off to the right and so on. Of course i wish i had more photos to work from but i did my best with what i had. It gives people a glimpse of what the area was like around 1900.This painting is acryllic and is 16x20 in size.
The Dirty Secret at the Bottom of the Great Lakes: Oil & Water
The world's largest crude oil transporter has a secret buried deep in the Great Lakes—two aging oil pipelines that transport 23 million gallons of crude oil through the largest body of fresh water on earth.
Enbridge, the company that operates the pipelines, insists that the two 20-inch pipelines stretching across the Straits of Mackinac could last indefinitely. But one look at the company’s environmental record tells another story: Enbridge had more than 800 spills in North America between 1999 and 2010, dumping nearly 6.8 million gallons of oil. The largest spill released one million gallons of oil into the Kalamazoo River, only a few hours drive away from the Mackinac Straits. Activists and advocates have independently verified that parts of the pipeline—built in 1953—are sitting unsupported on the bottom of the lake and in major need of repair.
Motherboard travels to Michigan—oil spill central—to investigate the threats of crude oil being transported through one of the largest freshwater ecosystems in the world by a company with one of the most egregious environmental records.

Masha Gessen, 2015 Wallenberg Lecture
On Tuesday, November 3rd, 2015, President Mark Schlissel awarded the Wallenberg Medal to Masha Gessen, Russian American author, journalist and activist. The University’s most distinguished award, the medal commemorates Raoul Wallenberg, Michigan Class of 1935, whose actions in Budapest, Hungary during World War II saved the lives of tens of thousands of Jews. In presenting the Medal, President Schlissel said that “the lives he saved, and the generations he inspires, are strong reminders of one our most closely held values: that one person can make a difference. Wallenberg’s legacy as it lives on today makes me very proud to be part of the Michigan community.”
Gessen is a prominent journalist whose work appears regularly in The New York Times, The New Yorker, and many other publications, and whose writing includes books about Putin’s Russia, the protests of Pussy Riot, a Russian feminist art collective, and the background story of the Tsarnaev brothers who were responsible for the Boston marathon bombings. A courageous and outspoken critic of the re-imposition of totalitarian structures in Russia and a strong advocate for LGBTQ rights, Gessen, her partner and their family were forced into exile two years ago and now live in New York.
Gessen first learned about Wallenberg from her mother. “The first time I read about Raoul Wallenberg, I read a phrase that I have remembered for the rest of my life. ‘This is a man who tried to save the world and whom the world failed to save.’ The phrase was written by my mother. She was a journalist and literary critic who was probably the first person to write about Raoul Wallenberg in Russia. Today, I want to actually focus not on the part where one person can make a difference, but on the part where the world failed to save him. Today I want to talk about the victims.”
She spoke of the dangers of misunderstanding the regime that Vladimir Putin has installed and the suffocation of public space and public opinion in Russia. “There are a lot of people in Russia who are in actual danger. I’m in a luxurious position because I live here. There are people doing work on the ground in Russia that you’ve never heard of. There are people who take such great risks every day and we don’t even know about them.”
Gessen concluded the evening by telling how she first encountered Ann Arbor during the Soviet era as two words printed on the spine of books that constituted the “lost literature” of twentieth-century Russia—fiction and poetry that had been repressed in the Soviet Union but were reproduced in Ann Arbor by Carl and Ellendea Proffer, scholars of Russian literature, and clandestinely re-introduced to Russia. “When growing up, they were the best books in the house. They had a little horse carriage as a logo and the words ‘Ann Arbor’ underneath, which I thought was some magical place where the best books came from. The words ‘Ann Arbor’ continued to have this magical ring to me, and I have never been able to come here until now.”
About the Wallenberg Medal and Lecture
Each year the recipient of the Wallenberg Medal is invited to present a lecture at the University of Michigan. The medalists take the stage at Rackham Auditorium and share their stories with an audience drawn from our campus and many surrounding communities.
Each Lecture is different. In some years, survivors of Nazi persecution recounted their physical resistance in face of hellish danger. In others, medalists considered the effect over the years that the bravery of friends and family has had on the course of history. Lectures have been given by politicians who explain why they resisted unjust governments and, in turn, worked to develop a new order, honoring their personal vision with decades of public service. Some medalists have focused on their missions: to reject a life of wealth and rescue people who are literally slaves of corrupt businesses; to devote a life to the non-violent and peaceful pursuit of human rights.
What the Wallenberg Lecturers have in common is their ability to inspire all with their vision, and the reality of their strength to act upon that vision. Here is the power of an eyewitness account to convince us that, although evil truly occurs, with moral courage individual actions effect a change in the world. In their Lectures, the Wallenberg medalists reveal a common characteristic: they acted selflessly without expectation of reward. The Lectures are profiles of moral excellence in ordinary people. The words of the medalists help us to imagine how it is that some can see all people as human; they share a vision of human dignity.
