According to the Eastern Echo, it would appear that the governor signed the deal: “EMU awarded $31.5 million for Pray-Harrold renovations.” This is basically all good and old news, though I’m not sure I agree that we’re completely “done” raising money here.

In the “where are they now?” category of things: John Fallon is one of four finalists for the job as president of North Country Community College in New York: NCCC narrows presidential search to four. This brief article from the local media in northeastern New York emphasizes Fallon’s past job as president [...] As Mark Higbee noted recently, there’s a story in today’s AANews about Pray-Harrold renovations, “Legislature grants EMU request for funding of Pray-Harrold renovation.” Now, not to take anything away from Susan Martin and this new era of transparency, but this request has been in the pipeline for about 10 years. Martin et al [...] Here’s the info from an email Susan Martin sent around this afternoon: I am pleased to report that the State legislature has passed Senate Bill 511 which includes a $31.5 million capital outlay appropriation for the renovation of Pray-Harrold. The bill now will move to the Governor’s desk for signature and we hope that will [...] As I often do on a Friday afternoon, I was doing a YouTube search for “emus,” and I came across this very old footage of the British comic Rod Hull with his puppet, Emu: I have vague memories of this from my childhood, and there are actually a number of Hull and Emu videos out there [...] The emus are playing the Northern Illinois Huskies here on Saturday at noon.

Most users will not need to do anything except be sure their password is up to date. Those who use an e-mail client such as Thunderbird, Outlook, Eudora, Entourage or Mac Mail will need to change a few [...] This got forwarded to me via one of the mailing lists I’m on: Judgment Day, a long piece from the New York Times Magazine this past Sunday, Among other things, it quotes a U of M researcher on student evaluations, and it tells the story of a non-tenure-track instructor/professor who was not hired [...] |
