More sad news this morning, I’m afraid: Donna Selman, a regular EMUTalk.org reader, sent me an email and a link to this article at Freep.com, “Cop died doing what he loved, dad says,” which is an article about Jackson City Police Officer James Bonneau, who was killed while on duty. Dr. Selman asked [...]

I’m about to dim the lights around the EMUTalk.org control complex in honor of winter break– not shutting down entirely, since I will not be traveling to an undisclosed location this season but will instead be hunkering down right here, apparently under a never-ending snowfall. If there are any loyal EMUTalk.org readers going to warmer [...] I came across this gem in Annarbor.com: “Builder of ‘obscene snowman’ isn’t upset police told him to destroy it.” Here’s the meat of the story (so to speak): Police responded to (Mike) Scoffins’ North Summit Street home about 3:31 p.m. Tuesday after someone called to report an “obscene snowman,” a police incident log said. Scoffins said the woman [...] This notice just sent around from Edward Mullens: From the Physical Plant: Construction on the new science complex during winter break (March 1-5) will impact cooling units in Halle Library. Temperatures inside the library may become warmer than normal, possibly as high as 85 degrees. People using the building may want to dress in layers. Halle Library [...] This comes to me via something called Deadspin: “NYU Business School Professor Has Mastered the Art of Email Flaming.” It’s a little long, but the gist of it is that Scott Galloway, a NYU business professor and entrepreneur-type responded to an email sent to a student who was trying to explain why he showed up [...] … I’m a little surprised. I mean, I tend to think that the schools around here get closed a little too easily– I have accused Southeast Michiganders of being “weather babies” in the past. But EMU was closed on February 10, I believe with less snow on the ground (though that’s just a guess based [...] I heard this on the radio this morning, but here’s the press release from EMU: “New Partnership Forms to Ensure Future of Michigan Historical Marker Program.” Here’s the opening paragraph: Department of Natural Resources and Environment Director Rebecca Humphries today announced that Eastern Michigan University and the Michigan History Foundation have joined the Michigan Historical Commission [...] From the Echo comes this op-ed/sports story, “All can use sports complex: EMU sports teams and community members alike stand to benefit.” Personally, I’m not against this facility, and I can understand how it will benefit the athletic programs at EMU. But I am a little dubious about this claim: This facility also serves as a [...] As promised in this comment, Kayla Potter sent me a picture of a sign that I think beats the one I posted the other day: Nasty. I wonder if the tip on “easting disorders” was added later? And if someone is throwing up into a waste basket in the dorms, wouldn’t also make sense to add something [...] Or, perhaps she’ll go for a salad or a veggie wrap; either way, find out on Monday, February 8. I believe this was a public annoucement: Faculty, staff and students are invited to attend Conversations with the President on Monday, Feb. 8, from 1 – 2 p.m., in the Student Center dining area. President Susan Martin [...] |
