Apparently, there’s a company called Masik that is creating what it calls “collegiate fragrances.” From the “about” part of their web site: Masik was founded by the Masich family in 2007 to create a fine fragrance line for the collegiate market. Masik is the only company of its kind – creating distinctive fine fragrances [...] Now that everyone’s turkey/Emu omlettes have settled: EMUTalk.org regular Public Crabgrass sent me a link to a provocative story very worthy of sharing here: “Transformation 101,” which was in the Washington Monthly and written by Kevin Carey, who is a researcher at a D.C. education think-tank. I’m not entirely sure I agree with the [...] So, what will sitedad be eating for the upcoming holiday? Well, this Apple Stuffed Emu Steak looks promising, and who doesn’t like emu eggs for breakfast? Actually, I’ll probably be having a pretty traditional turkey-n-fixin’s kind of break, though I will check back with EMUTalk.org once in a while. Have a good holiday, [...] … because the deed has been done. According to MLive, EMU football coach Jeff Genyk fired. This is hardly surprising, but I thought I’d pass along a couple of paragraphs I found interesting: [Athletic director Derrick] Gragg said a search for a new coach will begin immediately. Genyk, who was hired in 2004, will [...] Below “Read More” is an email I received recently from EMU alum and once in a while EMUTalk.org poster, Eric Brown. I’m not sure I agree with his particular recommendations about which Board of Regents members to endorse, but I do agree that this is the sort of thing that people who care about EMU ought to get involved in. The Emus loss twice this weekend, once in football and once in men’s basketball. The scores were 55 to 52, and 62-47. Which game was which? This was in my email the other day and I know there has been some asbestos talk here previously, so I thought I’d pass it along. By the way, there was a similar asbestos abatement earlier in the year that raised some concerns and I received a couple email messages about it, too. But I wasn’t quite sure how to explain it, and it seemed to me like it was more a problem of reporting than it was of bad work. If anyone wants to comment on that situation here, feel free; in the meantime, news on the upcoming abatement (November 25) below the “Read More” part. While having breakfast this morning, I did a little note-taking/a little “live blogging” of Susan Martin’s visit to WEMU. I think this is a monthly thing, more or less. Not surprisingly, she didn’t really say much. Anyway, my notes on what she said below the “read more” part: Ward Mullens sent an email around this morning about the inauguration ceremony for Susan Martin: You can participate in EMU history by attending the inauguration ceremony of Dr. Susan Martin at 11 a.m. today at Pease Auditorium. Dr. Martin will be invested as the 22nd president of Eastern Michigan University. She is the [...] Big stuff going down on campus this week: Frank “Post Secret” Warren gave a sold-out talk in the ballroom last night, the official/symbolic ground-breaking of the Mark-Jefferson science complex was today, and President Martin gets the inauguration treatment Thursday. But I have to say that I still have Pray-Harrold on my mind, as does the Ypsilanti Citizen: “Large projects in EMU’s future.” And by “large projects,” they really seem to mean mainly a single project, as in Pray-Harrold. But before I get to the “read more” part: let me once again remind folks about the “Pray-Harrold renovation final begins” pool here at EMUTalk.org, and, because of the small number of entries so far, let me announce that I am extending the deadline for entries until December 31, 2008. More on that in a near future post. |
