New writing gig

I have been crowned Washtenaw County Education Headlines Examiner*, and my first piece is up:
University of Michigan is a hotbed for startups
I think my next piece will be something about keeping kids learning and engaged over summer break.
For this site, I'm committing to writing 4 education-related articles per week. I know other examiners don't always make their content 100 percent relevant to just their area, but I'd like to make 70 or 80 percent of my content relevant to my county. If anyone has tips on interesting classes, teachers, issues etc. related to education in my area, please pass them on! Also, if you just have information about general trends in education that I could localize with quotes from people in my area, that'd work too.
I have had a few other articles published recently elsewhere, too:
The Pros & Cons of Caffeine
Natural Cholesterol Reducing Remedies
How do you get HIV/AIDS?
Health Benefits of Pumpkin Pie (there's an embarrassing mathematical error in here regarding fiber. I revised it a couple times to reflect different serving sizes and forgot to align the new information with the percentage of RDA of fiber. D'oh! That'll teach me to line read more carefully before saving changes!)
*The Examiner is hiring in Detroit/southeast Michigan for specialized writers on a variety of topics. They're also hiring in many other cities around the country. If you decide to apply to write for them, please list me as the person who referred you!
