In the last six days, I am certain that I spent at least 25 hours in the car and most of it behind the wheel. A long but good family trip. Anyway, I’m a bit behind, but I came across a couple of things I thought I’d group together in one post to kick [...]

Assuming that ICT has not cracked the secret of time-travel, I’m guessing that someone has made a pretty silly error. BTW, for the unfamiliar, see the often not completely G-rated FAIL blog. After school today, sitedad and family will be off to an undisclosed location to visit family for Thanksgiving. My assumption is that we won’t be deep-frying a turkey. I have to say that I’ve always been kind of fascinated and tempted by the possibility, but watching videos like this one makes me think [...] I didn’t realize that Governor Jennifer Granholm was going to be on campus so early today, 9 am. I couldn’t have made it if I had remembered though. Did anyone go? How was it? I also discovered this morning this fine press release on the EMU web site, “An open letter to EMU Students [...] From Inside Higher Ed this morning, ” Northeastern Ends Football.” In many ways, Northeastern University is very different from EMU; but, as this quote suggests, they share a lot in common: Joseph Aoun, president of the university, said in his statement that the decision involved setting priorities. “Northeastern has always been guided by [...] From Annarbor.com (and, surprisingly, nothing from the Eastern Echo, at least yet) comes “Campus concealed weapons bills debated at Eastern Michigan University panel discussion.” There’s a good discussion going on there, but I have to say I very much agree with this comment from Andy Ypsilanti: This is a great idea.

According to the SFGate article “UC regents approve steep [...] So, I followed through on my threat/promise to go to the forums for the chief of governmental and community relations interviews this afternoon. I typed up some notes on both Jon Cool and Felicia Wasson, but I don’t think what I typed up was particularly interesting. So, here’s a few bullet point impressions instead. [...] I’ve gotta say: this is starting to look a little fishy. Geoff Larcom sent around this email this afternoon at about 1:30 announcing the opportunities for faculty and staff to meet and greet the finalists for the chief governmental and community relations job: Faculty, staff and students are invited to open forums to [...] Also in the news: “Governor to talk the ‘Promise’ at EMU.” From the Echo: Granholm will be visiting campus from 9 – 9:30 a.m. Monday at the Student Center to discuss the scholarship. “Promises should be kept, not broken,” Granholm said in a radio address Friday. “It’s time for the Michigan Senate to [...] |
