We know you’re all out of school (and missing Johnny Quest), but we’re going to attempt to keep you abreast on Michigan news this summer with a new feature: Ripe Produce. Similar to Fresh Cream, the post will feature local UMich news that’s “ripe for the reading.” Here are six summer stories you must know.

* A 21-year-old mother has been charged with trying to suffocate her 2-month-old daughter in the hospital bed of the University of Michigan's C.S. Mott Children's Hospital.

* College football analyst Phil Steele says UMich football could have a another losing season this fall. Jim Carty has the audio discussion.

* Michigan hottie Lyndsey just gave College Candy a serious break down of the R. Kelly trial.

* Sports Illustrated reports fans at Appalachian State are gobbling up season football tickets in a fan-driven plot to over-take the Wolverines yet again.

* A nice, old lady died at age 100 and left a $5.2 million gift to the University's College of Literature, Science and the Arts to fund fellowships for LSA graduate students.

* Fellow student Dan wants you to check out the picture of his gay kegstand.
