- Nelima posts at MinneAfrica about her experience attending the Strib’s Not-so-Mega Career Expo. Slim pickings. She also references this MPR story on how African immigrants are less likely than Asian immigrants to get professional jobs in the U.S., despite the fact that African immigrants are usually more educated than Asian immigrants.
- Paul Schmelzer shares an item on the death of Spoonbridge & Cherry co-creater Coosje van Bruggen from the Walker’s Off Center blog.
- The Washington Post asks, “What about Minnesota?” The Post asked election law experts and political scientists for lessons from the Senate contest between Norm Coleman and Al Franken. In case all the local punditry on the recount isn’t enough for you. (via Rachel D)
- The annual MLK Celebrate the Dream concert (pdf) is Thurs, Jan 15, 7pm, at the Basilica of Saint Mary. Free! Sounds of Blackness is singing (Sounds of Blackness alone is enough to get me there). Paul Rusesabagina (the real-life hero from Hotel Rwanda) is speaking. (via @dancingdiva)
- SCSU Scholars talks about a Wall Street Journal post on how Minnesotans do not flaunt their wealth, claiming that Minnesotans are hiding their wealth in their garages. I believe it.
