Timbuktu residents celebrate their freedom
French president's visit marks the end of area's Islamic occupation

French President Francois Hollande (center) visits Timbuktu on Saturday, six days after French forces parachuted in to liberate the desert city.
French President Francois Hollande was coming to town, less than a week after French-led forces ousted the extremists from the Saharan community known worldwide for its cultural treasures and its vibrant music.
Saturday was a day for singing, dancing, drumming, ululating and dressing up, all of which Cisse, 57, would probably have been flogged for doing under the severe form of sharia law imposed by the al-Qaida-linked Ansar Dine and its allies during their thuggish nine-month rule.
Thousands of Timbuktu residents gathered in the main square, used until recently by the zealots for public whippings and amputations, to cheer Hollande, who plunged into the crowd, beaming and clasping Malians' hands as part of a lightning-like visit.
'Ready to dance'
"Last night I didn't sleep because I was ready to dance," said one celebrant, Intaly ag Khadawei, a prominent Timbuktu dancer. "It was like a prison for me when the (Islamists) were here, because I missed dancing so much. I felt an ache in my feet, because I didn't dance in almost a year."
Khadawei spent part of Saturday morning returning to a hiding place where he'd buried treasured family amulets when the militants conquered Timbuktu in April. At the celebration, he reverently hung them back around his neck. "I love to dance," he said. "It's not a job. I do it for happiness."
France, the onetime colonial power in Mali and much of West Africa, has been criticized in the region for past exploitation. But Hollande's intervention last month, just a day after Malian authorities called for help, resurrected the European nation's reputation overnight: the only Western power with boots on the ground, while neighboring countries dawdled about sending troops.
"The Africans, they were late. With the French it was the same day. We hope he's president forever," said Timbuktu shopkeeper Demba Dicko, 45.
Mali's weakened army lost the north of the country in April, as Islamist fighters swept through, seizing town after town, essentially partitioning the country. But the militias Ansar Dine, al-Qaida in the Islamic Maghreb, and the Movement for Unity and Jihad in West Africa overreached, and have been quickly swept from urban centers by a three-week operation that has included French airstrikes.
Hard work still lies ahead, French officials warn: It is time for African forces to take over, they say, a message Hollande repeated Saturday.
Dislodging militants
Still to be accomplished is dislodging the militants from mountains and caves in northern Mali; fixing a broken political system; wiping out criminal networks in the north whose kidnapping, drug smuggling and human trafficking bankroll extremism; and strengthening Mali's military forces so they can prevent the militias' revival once the French withdraw.
Saturday, however, was a day for joy and celebration.
Jewelry maker Lala Cisse, 56, donned several extravagant homemade strings of bright plastic beads, bracelets and an earring in the colors of the French flag. She could hardly stand still.
"I'm going to dance," she said, hurrying off into swirling desert.
Others, draped in French and Malian flags, sought desperately to touch Hollande, shouting, "Merci! Merci!" as they were greeted by the president and his entourage, whose neat Parisian shoes sank into the fine Saharan sand.
Many of the town's imams and officials arrived early, their flowing gowns frisked by French soldiers. The local butcher wore a set of cow horns on his head, part of his costume for celebrations.
"That's where they used to beat people," said Abdourahman Boujouma, 69, pointing to the center of the square. "People were not free; you were not allowed to meet in groups and talk to your friends. They destroyed mausoleums and mosques," he said, referring to Timbuktu's World Heritage treasure of ancient sites, many of which were torn apart because the extremists considered them un-Islamic.
"It wasn't life. If I ever find one of those jihadists, I'd like to eat him," he said, gesturing angrily, as though putting food into his mouth. "I'll never forget what they did here, for my whole life."
Singer Cisse picked up her shiny $180 dress from the tailor's shop a week before the militants arrived and had never worn it out until the French arrived because of the Islamists' rules banning women from beautifying themselves or wearing perfume. Occasionally, she would pull the dress out of the cupboard and finger it regretfully.
"I'd take it out and look at it and put it back. It made me feel sad," she said. "They came here and they said you're not practicing Islam very well. They would say you would look sexy in a dress like this. But how can an old woman like me be sexy?"
Finally wearing it made it sink in, she said, that she was again free to wear what she liked without facing the threat of a beating.
Freedom didn't feel real for dancer Khadawei until Hollande arrived Saturday morning.
Khadawei had been targeted by the extremists, who searched his house and burned several traditional pale red and green leather wallets, which had hung from leather straps around the necks of Timbuktu residents. The Islamists burned amulets that he believed offered good luck and protection, saying they were un-Islamic. He said he managed to save the most valuable ones, inherited from his father, by placing them in a plastic bag and burying them.
"This is my heritage," Khadawei said, touching them carefully. "I didn't dig them up until today because I wasn't sure that Timbuktu was 100 percent safe," added the dancer, who has named his newborn son Francois Hollande.
Celebratory dance
Women swirled and danced sinuously around the square as the imam of the nearby mosque, Abdelrahman al Aqib, looked on serenely. The celebrants beat drums made of giant hollowed-out gourds, cut in half and turned upside down in tins of water, using flip-flops as drumsticks, producing a deep sonorous sound.
A small boy of 3 or 4 stood beating a smaller drum, near Hollande's convoy, as the French president sat in his car waving at the crowd, ready to depart.
Hollande spotted the child, waved, and smiled.

UP chief minister Akhilesh Yadav seems to have hit the panic button, ostensibly frustrated by the avalanche of criticism he is facing over the rising rape cases in the state.
Under attack over the rape and murder of two Dalit sisters, the Akhilesh government on Saturday suspended Badaun SP, decided to take action against the then district magistrate and undertook a massive rejig, involving 66 Indian Administrative Service (IAS) and 42 Indian Police Service (IPS) officers.
In a mass transfer on Saturday, district magistrates of 28 of the 80 districts were replaced. District police chiefs of an equal number of districts were also removed. The IPS officers transferred include four Inspectors General (IGs) and 10 deputy IGS. The CM has also written to the Chief Justice of the Allahabad High Court to help set up fast-track courts in every district to tackle cases of crime, especially the ones against women.
A government spokesman described the mass transfer as a routine exercise, sources in the bureaucracy said special care had been taken to weed out "recalcitrant officers who did not co-operate with the ruling Samajwadi Party" during the recent Lok Sabha elections. "It's very clear from the transfer lists that DMs and SPs of districts where the SP performed poorly have been identified and shunted out," a senior IAS officer said.
Recently, Akhilesh had abruptly sacked chief secretary Javed Usmani. This was followed by the unceremonious exit of principal secretary (Home) Anil Kumar Gupta, apparently for not being able to handle the law and order situation.

Brady rolls past Tebow, Broncos; 49ers top Saints
"This is big for us," Davis said. "It's history. It's legendary."
Brees completed a 66-yard touchdown pass to Jimmy Graham with 1:37 left and the Saints seemed poised to rally from a 17-point deficit for a victory. Then Smith and Davis delivered.
San Francisco triumphed in its first playoff game in nine years, and is a win away from returning to the Super Bowl for the first time since capturing the franchise's fifth championship after the 1994 season.
Brees, whose team was coming off consecutive 600-yard games, completed 40 of 63 passes for 462 yards and four touchdowns and was sacked three times. He also threw two interceptions, his first in the postseason in five years, and New Orleans (14-4) fell short again in its quest to get back to the Super Bowl after winning it all two years ago. The Saints are still searching for the first postseason road victory in franchise history after falling to 0-5.
"It stings right now because of the expectation level that we had coming into this tournament and understanding that if we win here, we're into the NFC championship game and anything can happen," Brees said. "That's tough. Tough to swallow at this point."
At Baltimore, the AFC North champion Ravens are confident that home-field advantage will be a big factor in their bid to defeat the Texans and earn a berth in the conference title game. It will be the Ravens' first home playoff game since 2006 and the first for star running back Ray Rice, now in his fourth NFL season.
"It's a dream come true," Rice said. "I played every playoff game that there was since I've been a rookie, and they've all been on the road. ... Trust me, it's a lot different than playing at home. So, a home playoff game definitely plays big on our behalf."
The Texans know all about that. They beat Cincinnati 31-10 last week at Reliant Stadium.
"The crowd really gets behind them," offensive tackle Duane Brown said of the Ravens. "We played them in the regular season, and I'm sure it's going to be multiplied times 10, 20 now that it's the playoffs."
At Green Bay, Rodgers and the Packers' offense has been terrific all season. The defense, however, has been vulnerable - something the Giants hope to take advantage of. The teams played Dec. 4, when the Packers won 38-35 on a last-second field goal.
"I think if we get into a shootout like we did last time, I think we will be OK," wide receiver Victor Cruz said. "But it will have to come down to who has the last touch."
Meanwhile, the Packers' defense is looking to hit the reset button in the playoffs.
"This is a fresh start for us to right all our wrongs," defensive lineman Ryan Pickett said.

DorobekINSIDER: Tamela Riggs named GSA FAS assistant commissioner
Wednesday - 9/8/2010, 6:14pm EDT
Some changes at GSA's Federal Acquisition Service. Tamela "Tami" Riggs will move from GSA's Public Building Service and has been named to the post of Assistant Commissioner, Office of Customer Accounts and Research for GSA's Federal Acquisition Service.
Riggs will replace Gary Feit, who has announced that he is retiring next spring.
Here is the note from GSA Administrator Martha Johnson:
From: Administrator Martha Johnson
Re: A Move That Counts
I am happy to announce today that Tamela Riggs will be assuming the position of Assistant Commissioner, Office of Customer Accounts and Research in the Federal Acquisition Service (FAS).
This move is significant in a number of ways. First, Gary Feit who has held that position will be retiring next spring. We want to avoid the discontinuity that occurs when we wait for a position to be vacant before beginning the process of filling it. Therefore, we are allowing for an overlap so that Gary can help Tami as she steps into the position. This is an important aspect of succession management, creating an appropriate overlap so institutional memory isn't lost and the organization is not caught in leadership limbo.
Second, Tami is moving from PBS to FAS. I can't emphasize enough the value I place on all of our executives holding a GSA enterprise perspective. Having experience in various service or staff offices enriches a leader's perspective, builds networks, and demonstrates an eagerness and ability to change.
Hurray to Tami — and others — who are willing to make such moves. Their actions speak louder than all the words we can puff about change.
Congratulations to Tami on the move and let's all look for opportunities to continue to model the message of change.
And the message sent to FAS Staff from Steve Kempf:
Subject: FAS Leadership Announcements
Hello FAS,
I am pleased to announce several additions and changes in GSA's Federal Acquisition Service leadership team.
Gary Feit will be joining the FAS Commissioner's staff as a Senior Advisor to the Deputy Commissioner. In this role, he will reach out to industry associations, top officials at customer agencies and other stakeholders to improve the quality and effectiveness of FAS programs. Gary has held many positions throughout his GSA career – in the Regions, in various business portfolios and most recently as FAS Assistant Commissioner for Customer Accounts and Research. He has extensive experience managing customer relationships through training and business outreach initiatives including the GSA Expo. His deep understanding and thorough knowledge of FAS programs gives him a valuable perspective that will be useful in this new role.
Tami Riggs will be joining the FAS team as the Assistant Commissioner for Customer Accounts and Research. Most recently, Tami has served GSA's Public Buildings Service as the Acting Assistant Commissioner for Organizational Resources where she successfully planned and implemented business strategies to meet GSA customer needs. She has a deep knowledge of both FAS and PBS business portfolios, having worked in each organization during her career. Tami has a proven track record which will help her be successful in deepening FAS relationships with our customers.
Marty Jennings will join the FAS General Supplies and Services Portfolio as the Deputy Assistant Commissioner. Marty has over 35 years of government experience, serving in the U.S. Army and most recently as Director of Logistics at the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. His leadership and program management skills gained from his career as a soldier and as an officer, combined with his expertise in logistics, prepare him well to assist leading the GSS Portfolio employees and programs to future success.
Please join me in congratulating Gary, Tami, and Marty as they undertake these leadership roles in FAS. Their spirit of service, commitment to innovative thinking and collaborative approach to building business solutions that work for customers will help FAS shape its future and ensure many years.

Campus Digest: In Brief
Guides rate theatre, art departments among nation's best
Rankings season was kind to Cornell once again, but with a new wrinkle this year: both the theatre and art departments were recognized as among the nation's best.
The theatre department was ranked 16th in the country by The Princeton Review's "The Best 371 Colleges." Though The Princeton Review does not explicitly rank colleges, Cornell was included among the best list, which accounts for roughly the top 15 percent of four-year colleges in the United States and Canada.
Web extra — Want more on national recognition of Cornell?
Art was also cited for its excellence, this time by The Fiske Guide to Colleges. The art department was recognized by Fiske as one of the top among small colleges and universities. Cornell was one of only 24 art and design departments to make the list. Cornell was also cited as a "Top Financial Find" and one of the "44 Best Buy Schools" in the 2010 edition.
Other ranking publications were impressed with Cornell as well. Forbes ranked Cornell 105th nationally and first in Iowa, while the 2010 U.S. News & World Report included Cornell College in the top tier among 266 national liberal arts colleges and features it among "Great Schools, Great Prices."

Giving back, block by block
A leading Cornellian has helped create and fund a new type of "block plan."
Chair of the Cornell Board of Trustees John Smith '71 and his wife Dyan are at the forefront of Block by Block, a program aimed squarely at speeding up neighborhood recovery in flood-damaged areas of the Cedar Valley.
Block by Block is designed to mobilize homeowners on eight flood-damaged city blocks to agree to finishing work on their houses. According to the Cedar Rapids Gazette, "Heavy lifting will come from $1.9 million in cash donations, $100,000 or more in donated materials, and countless hours of volunteer help."
The heavy lifting on the $1.9 million is being done by the Smiths, who are contributing $1 million to the effort that came about when the couple approached another community leader about doing more to hasten the recovery.
Although this Block program is not affiliated with Cornell, the program has Methodist ties. It was largely founded by The Rev. Clint Twedt-Ball, a Methodist minister.
Cornell students have logged thousands of hours helping clean and repair areas damaged by the 2008 floods.
Handke drafted by Dodgers
Senior Chris Handke wasn't the most likely Cornellian to play professional baseball. Until he was drafted by the Los Angeles Dodgers, that is.
Selected in the 41st round of Major League Baseball's First-Year Player Draft, Handke had only pitched in a handful of games, and is best known on campus for helping lead the men's basketball team to the IIAC tournament title as a second-team all-IIAC center.
Still, his height—Handke is 6'11"—and his velocity, which tops out around 93 mph, attracted scouts who saw raw potential in the right-handed pitcher.
Handke spent the summer pitching for the Dodgers' Rookie League team in Arizona, where he gave up two earned runs in 1.1 innings of work. He returned to Cornell this year to graduate and finish out his last season of basketball.

'70s campus life captured on film
Eric Weston '78, a former Cornellian and Royal Purple photographer, has posted an extensive collection of images of Cornell student and academic life from 1974–'78. Weston documented campus life throughout his four years on the Hilltop and edited the '76 and '78 Royal Purple.

Now an attorney living in Seattle, Weston alerted the college to his collection in an understated e-mail. College historian the Rev. Richard Thomas, who had interviewed Weston while researching and writing Cornell's scholarly history book, called the photos "a very valuable collection."

Steinberg wins gold at Transplant Games
Nearly six years ago a kidney from Ryan Justis '99 saved the life of his friend and Cornell teammate Jim Steinberg '99. Now fully recovered from his ordeal, Steinberg can list another feat: gold medalist and world record holder.
Steinberg was one of 83 athletes representing the United States at the World Transplant Games this past summer in Queensland, Australia, an Olympic-style event featuring athletes from all over the world who have had their lives saved by an organ donation.
The games feature Olympic-level talent in many events and divide competitors by age groups. Steinberg competed in the 100m dash, 400m run, long jump, discus, shot put, and 4x400 relay for the 30–39 year-old division. Bettering his performance at the United States Transplant Games the previous summer, Steinberg took gold in the discus and the shot put. Along the way to the medal stand he beat the 2007 shot put gold medal winner from Greece by 18 inches and won the discus by 30 feet, setting a new record.

Mount Vernon officially cool
Mount Vernon is called a lot of things. Charming, quaint, welcoming. And now, Mount Vernon is also officially "cool." Arthur Frommer's Budget Travel named Mount Vernon one of America's Coolest Small Towns for its art, culture, and food.
The magazine complimented Mount Vernon's artistic community, cited the Chalk the Walk festival, called Fuel "the unofficial clubhouse for Mount Vernon's creative types," and, of course, pointed out the nationally known Lincoln Café. Photos for the article were taken by Cornell art professor Sandy Dyas.
12:34:56 7/8/09
Cornell Professor of Mathematics Jim Freeman had the number of a Cedar Rapids Gazette story. All nine of them.
Wednesday, July 8, was a unique day, mathematically speaking, when the time/date combination of 12:34:56 7/8/09 came up. Some were saying this phenomenon would never happen again, but Freeman knew better.
"It definitely will occur again, if we don't blow ourselves up," but not for another 100 years, Freeman was quoted as saying. As long as only the last two digits of the year are used, this phenomenon will occur again in 2109, 2209, and so on.
As if there weren't enough coincidences in play, the story was written by Erin McNeill '10, former co-editor-in-chief of The Cornellian and Gazette summer intern.
4 for 40
2009 marks the first time in Cornell's long history that there are four active faculty/administrators each with more than 40 years of service: Professor of Chemistry Addison Ault (1962), Professor of Politics Rob Sutherland (1968), Professor of German Charles Connell (1968), and Professor of Philosophy Paul Gray (1969).

The next in line to join the 40 and over club? Professor of Art Doug Hanson in 2011, Professor of Politics Craig Allin in 2012, and Professor of Spanish Sally Farrington-Clute in 2013. The only other faculty member to hit 40 years in recent history was Professor of English Robert Dana, who had served 40 years at the time of his retirement in 1994.
Left to right: Professors Robert Sutherland, Paul Gray, Addison Ault, and Charles Connell have all taught at Cornell for 40 years or more.
Gingko tree (back cover)
The magnificent tree to the east of the President's House is a male ginkgo certified by the Iowa Conservation Commission as the largest reported of its species growing in Iowa. It is believed to have been planted in the early 1850s and likely came by clipper ship from the orient, then across land by railroad and oxen-pulled wagon. View a larger image of the gingko

Viewers: in countries Watching now:
In this course, photographer and author Jan Kabili walks you through importing, organizing, and finding your photos using the Organizer in Adobe Photoshop Elements 11. The course covers importing photos from your camera and computer; reviewing and evaluating photos; tagging images with ratings, keywords, people, and places; working with files and folders; and creating and organizing albums. Jan also shows how to find images with metadata and in the timeline, and how to apply instant photo fixes and Quick Edit image adjustments.
In the last movie, I showed you that if you're working with photos that were taken with a GPS enabled camera, they will automatically appear on the map in Places View. But what if you have photos that were taken with a non GPS enabled camera? Like these two photos that I know I took in San Francisco. With these two photos displayed in Media View, if I click on Places View in the Organizer, Places View tells me that it does not recognize those two photos because they don't have GPS coordinates. But it does advice me to click Add Places.
And that's the way you can add photos like this to the map in Places View. I'll go down to the task bar at the bottom of Places View and I'll click on the Add Places button. That opens the Add Places window. With the two photos in the selected folder up here in the film strip and the Google map down here, I know that these two photos were taken in San Francisco. Up here, it tells me I can drag and drop these photos onto the map to assign them a location. I know that these photos were taken in San Francisco, and that area of the map is invisible right now.
So I could navigate manually by clicking and dragging the map; or a faster way to get to San Francisco on the map is to search the map. So I'll click in the Search Field and I'll type San Francisco. And if I know a specific location in San Francisco, that's even better. So, I'm going to type San Francisco, Ferry Building. And I'll click Search. The drop-down menu suggests a couple of possible locations. I think either will work in this case.
I'll just click the first one. And the map goes right to the Ferry Building in San Francisco. It asks if I want to place all media, in other words both of the photos, right there on top of the Ferry Building. Well, I could do that, but I know that I took these two photos in different locations around the Ferry Building. One was taken out in water, and one was taken from the sidewalk in front of the building. So rather than place them both here, I'm going to select the photo that was taken from the sidewalk, and I'll click the green check mark to place just that one photo on the map.
I could leave it here, but I know that I was actually not inside the Ferry Building but on the sidewalk in front of the Ferry Building. So I'm going to click on that red pin, and drag it right in front of the Ferry Building. And then I'll click the green check mark, and that assigns that exact location to that photo. Before I assign the other photo, I'm going to actually change the view of the map from map to hybrid. So now you can really see that this is the water, and I was out on one of these ferries when I took that photo. So I'm going to click and drag in the map, and I'm just guessing but I wasn't very far away from the dock, maybe somewhere around here.
So I'll click on the horizontal photo and I'll drag it on to the map, out in to the water, and drop it around there. And I'll click the green check mark to assign that location to this photo, and then I'll click Done. That takes me back out to the regular Places View, and here you can see the two pins that I just added to the map. And underneath each of the two photos, there's a little icon indicating that it's been assigned a place on the map in San Francisco, California, United States.
There's one more view to look at here and that is List View. If I click on List, I'll see a list of all of the locations that I've added to the map in this way. Right now, I just tabbed the San Francisco, Ferry Building on Pier fourteen, the address on the Embarcadero in San Francisco, California, United States. So the list could get really specific about these locations. By the way, the only locations you'll see in this list are for photos that you placed manually on the map, as I showed you how to do in this movie.
This list won't include the locations of GPS enabled photos, which I covered in the last movie. And I'll finish up by clicking back on the map view. So if your camera or camera phone is in GPS enabled, that's how you can include your photos here on the map in Places View.

PHOENIX (ICIS)--The polyurethanes (PU) industry in ?xml:namespace>
PUs are gaining credibility in the market as they replace traditional materials in a wide range of flexible and rigid foam applications, said Gerry Podesta, senior vice president of North American Performance Materials for BASF.
He made his comments on the sidelines of the Polyurethanes Technical Conference, hosted by the Center for the Polyurethanes Industry (CPI), a part of the American Chemistry Council (ACC).
As the PU sector grows, it is necessary that the industry communicate the value, energy efficiency and safety of PU products for construction, vehicles, comfort area and other applications, Podesta said.

Suttons Bay too chilly to dive into, cross the parking lot to the small inland (and warmer) South Bar Lake. Follow signs from downtown. is found just past where the main road makes a sharp curve. Walk to pick up provisions at the old-timey general store. You feel away from it all, yet you are steps from waterfront dining and wine tasting. Sailboats often dock in the harbor, adding romance to your view. Off M-22 in Omena. Those who like to gradually enter the water will love Suttons Bay's marina beach, a favorite for families and those just looking to float in the particularly warm shallows. A playground, tables and grills make it easy to stay through dinner. Better yet, walk to one of the local pubs noted for gourmet burgers and a casual vibe. 231.271.6703. Lake Leelanau 2. Glen Arbor/Glen Haven Historic Glen Haven offers a full vacation in a single stop, starting with a beach you can't beat anywhere in the Great Lakes—at least according to Florida professor Stephen Leatherman, a k a "Dr. Beach." He ranked it at the top for coastal dunes, fine sand and view of the Manitou Islands. On-site museum and old-fashioned general store add to the fun. From Glen Arbor, 2 miles west on M-109. Pick up a take-out picnic at NJ's Grocery (the fresh-made samosas, perhaps) and head to this road-end local favorite beach. It's a good spot for dropping in a line or launching a kayak, and then paddling the wildlife-filled channel connecting the north and south branches of Lake Leelanau. Head west from town on M-204 about a mile, right on Popp Rd. Northport Leland 3. Empire ANGELA BROWN Enchanting dune bluffs rise to the north and south of this wide swath of sandy beach, making it one of the area's most popular. The amenities don't hurt either. A restroom, playground, picnic tables and grills help families out. When the big lake's North Beach is a favorite for those who like to walk for miles, stopping along the soft sand path to collect a Petoskey stone or locally prized Leland Blue. (Stay along the water line to avoid trespassing.) Find books, picnic fare and sand toys in downtown Leland. Take North Street west toward the lake, and then follow a short trail to the beach. Haserot Park, Northport's municipal beach, is located right downtown. The grassy park offers room for the kids to run, and it's also a favorite for festivals celebrating wine or the classic fish boil. Your view is of the sparkling waters of Grand Traverse Bay beyond the marina. Walk the pier and gaze at the boats after a picnic and swim. Elmwood Township Omena As close as an in-town beach can come to being a secret cove, this hidden gem The nautical theme of the new play area is fitting on this beach alongside the Elmwood Township Marina. Picnic with the gang under the large shelters while the kids swing, whirl and slide on the creations of TV-show carpenter Carter Oosterhouse, a Traverse City native who has built more than 20 playgrounds through his Carter's Kids charity. On M-22, just north of the M-72 intersection.

SLEEPING BEAR DUNES NAtiONAL LAkEShORE When Leelanau County locals want to show off their region, they bring guests first to the Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore, most often starting at the Pierce Stocking Scenic Drive, which weaves through the dunes. A one-time logger, Pierce Stocking used to walk the spectacular bluffs and wanted to share the beauty with others. He envisioned a clever route that let the geographic drama gradually unfold. A pull-off early in the route offers a distant peek of the ethereal blues of the Glen Lakes; another pull-off delivers views of an undulating dunescape with towering ridges. But we're betting it was at the Lake Michigan overlook where Good Morning America viewers cemented their decision to name this park the Most Beautiful Place in America. Here, the dunes drop 450 feet steeply down into glittering Lake Michigan, and all the cameras come out—though few can capture the top-of-the-world feel. Marvel at the tiny specks of people on the beach below, then work your climbing muscles at the Dune Climb—the main attraction for kids (of all ages) who love scaling its heights, then tumbling back down the soft sand. The park's beauty and fun unfold elsewhere, too, in ways both subtle and spectacular. Follow hiking trails to pinnacle overlooks— Empire Bluffs and Pyramid Point among the favorites. Canoe or kayak through the park on the gorgeous Platte or Crystal Rivers. Or travel back in time with a stop at Glen Haven, a tiny preserved town of museums and an old-time general store, adjacent to the beach recently named most beautiful on the Great Lakes. Fit it all in by setting up camp at popular D.H. Day Campground on the mainland, or escape to one of the rustic hike-in campsites on North or South Manitou Islands.
