...created a Michigan Land Bank to assemble properties so that we can not just auction them but make them available for job providers. The bottom line is, Detroit was built as a city for 2 million, and it's got less than a million people now, so we've got a lot of vacant space...
...Himalayan mountains wedged between the northeast Indian state of Arunachal Pradesh and China, they can take the shape of things as mundane as the empty beer bottles and cigarette butts left behind by soldiers on patrol. Up in the mountains, the Indian and Chinese armies monitor a boundary whose line the two countries don't agree on. In certain parts of that murky borderland, the soldiers on night patrols often leave behind evidence of their presence. When relations between the two countries are good, it's litter; when the situation is tense, the detritus is marked in the official record...
Instead, you see the reanimation of various well-known images - like Earhart standing on the wing of her plane - by an actress giving a very studied and careful but wooden performance.

Languishing against the pillows, hand over eyes, Putnam mutters that such brutal words are tolerable only coming from her. Gere struggles to sell the melodrama...
Harvard certainly maintained this consistency over the weekend, as all five scorers finished in the top 20. Junior Claire Richardson notched another personal best, crossing the line in 17:28 for sixth overall. Rookie Sammy Silva finished 12th in 17:53.7, with junior Eliza Ives, sophomore Nicole Cochran, and sophomore Kailyn Kuzmuk completing the effort. Kuzmuk’s time of 18:10.6 left only 16.9 seconds between the Crimson’s second and fifth runner...
