If you are curious, the policy for donation at the University can be found here: http://www.policy.umn.edu/groups/ppd/documents/Procedure/property_proc3.cfm.

Community organizations are being notified of the possibility for donations and are being asked for letters which would state how the computers will benefit their organizations and the community. A small committee of PASA members and CHANCE members will be formed to review the requests from organizations and decide how many computers each organization will receive.

This is an exciting opportunity to continue to support and foster our university and community partnerships. PASA and CHANCE will work to keep everyone up-to-date on how things proceed!

This summer, following graduation, I have been working for the Dean under the supervision of Will Bear to strengthen the blog project and get it on a sure footing for my departure at the end of the summer. So far I have redesigned and relaunched Smart Politics with HHH post-doc Eric Ostermeier and the Center for the Study of Politics and Governance, revamped the Humphrey blog digest as well as most of the other center blogs, and brought Prof. Jerry Zhao's "Fiscal Issues and Geeky Stuff" to the UThink system from it's previous home at Blogger.

It's been a great opportunity for me to work with a lot of people at the Institute across policy areas and from all generations. Next up: launching a blog called "Regionalities" with the State and Local Policy Program and collaborating with the Public and Nonprofit Leadership Center to create a blog with them. I will also be working with IT and Communications to integrate the blog content with the official Humphrey website, which will help better position the blog content as well as reduce the effort needed to keep the "official" website up-to-date.

If you're interested how the blog project began, how it has been executed, and where it is heading in the future, please check out my professional paper on the subject. You can find a PDF of my paper at the Humphrey blog digest on its About page.

PASA's "An Affair to Remember" blog was the first public blog created as a pilot for the project, and I am happy to see that the 2008 executive board has really taken it and run with it. I hope it works as a great resource for students for years to come.

My neighbor is renting the adjacent twin home, a three-story, 2,900 square foot 4 br/3 bath apartment in a restored 1880's mansion. It is in the Ventura Village neighborhood, just west of the LRT station and north of Franklin.

You can find the full posting here, but the pictures don't do it justice. It is a gorgeous house in a very diverse inner city neighborhood. http://minneapolis.craigslist.org/apa/744305662.html

We are buying a house and vacating our apartment, and I think the apartment would be great for incoming (or current) students.

The apartment is a big 1 BR + Den, especially great for someone who doesn't own a car. The unit is about 800 square feet, with big living and dining rooms. It's on 28th and Hennepin in Uptown, within walking distance to shops, restaurants, and grocery stores, and on a bunch of bus lines, including the 114 which goes right to the U. Best of all, the cost of parking can be "unbundled" from the cost of rent. With one parking spot, it's a pretty typical price: $835/month. For those who don't need parking, it's a steal at $755/month.

Interested students can contact me, Jeff Rosenberg, at rose0500@umn.edu, or contact the landlord, Tom Fletcher, at 952.224.5555

The 3 BR's on the second floor at Erie have a shared kitchen, bathroom, and outside porch deck or balcony (nice in summer & fall), fenced backyard with picnic table for house residents, 2 off-street parking spaces, and rents quoted above include High speed Internet. Heat is included, too!

There is the possibility of furnished rooms at a home 1 block east of Cedar Ave. (busline to West Bank), at 3428 Longfellow Ave. S., as well, July 1st.

For more information, please contact Mrs. Marilyn Bohne, *612-703-0844, *or *763-498-3148, *or email.

I highly recommend the class that is taught by Prof. Samuel Myers as a two week course, if you can fit it into your schedule. For one, the two week schedule allows for better continuity of class content; during a regular semester, a 1.5 credit class can fall to the bottom of the priority list. Second, the approach Prof. Myers provides a very important foundation for policy analysis--it's vitally important to correctly identify the problem before proposing solutions.
