Stateside for Tuesday, Dec. 8, 2015

  • Enbridge has made promises to keep the aging Line 5 oil pipeline in the Straits of Mackinac maintained and said it's got an emergency response team in place, but there's a complicating factor no one can control: big, turbulent waves.
     
  • Serena Daniels, author of "12 Reasons Why Everyone Should Marry a Michigander" and many other homages to Michigan natives, explains what makes Michiganders so special and the reason she thinks we love to read about it.

    Our conversation with Serena Daniels

  • Text abbreviationslike "LOL" and "JK" seem to be an increasingly prevalent part of written correspondence. Are they making communication more efficient, or just making it harder to do so clearly?
     
  • George Shirley, emeritus professor at the University of Michigan School of Music, Dance and Theatre, recently received the National Medal of Arts from President Obama.
     
  • Frank Kelley is a man of the people and a true public servant. Jack Lessenberry co-wrote the book that tells his story, The People's Lawyer: The Life and Times of Frank J. Kelley, the Nation's Longest-Serving Attorney General.
