Seattle University is making plans for a new art museum, thanks to a gift of a $300 million art collection and $25 million in seed money from a donor, the university trustees announced on Wednesday. The donation — by Richard Hedreen, a real estate developer — is the largest gift in the history of the university, a Jesuit institution founded in 1891, the trustees said in a statement. Hedreen is donating his entire collection, which has more than 200 works of art dating from the 15th century to today, including art by Thomas Gainsborough, Lucian Freud and Amy Sherald. “It’s a remarkable teaching collection,” the university’s president, Eduardo Peñalver, said in a phone interview, adding that “we look forward to having that on our campus and have our faculty, our students be able to use that across the entire curriculum in sparking their own learning and discussion.”

☆ Can groundhogs or other animals predict the weather?
  + stars: | 2024-02-02 | by ( Jackie Wattles | ) edition.cnn.com   time to read: +8 min
CNN —Punxatawney Phil, the central character of the annual rite of winter known as Groundhog’s Day, isn’t great at his job. Education Images/Universal Images Group/Getty ImagesThe Old Farmer’s Almanac has aggregated a couple dozen adages about insects, animals and their ability to predict weather patterns. Researchers in Germany also looked into whether various species of animals could detect an oncoming earthquake. Fact vs. folkloreOther tropes about animals’ ability to predict seasonal conditions, however, are wrong. But in reality, the “caterpillar’s coloring is based on how long (the) caterpillar has been feeding, its age, and species,” according to the National Weather Service.

☆ As the Final Four Finishes, a Parallel Transfer Season Plays Out, Too

HOUSTON — It wasn’t long before Kansas and North Carolina tipped off for the men’s college basketball championship in New Orleans last April that Darrion Trammell called San Diego State Coach Brian Dutcher with some news. Now, a full year later, it is easy to see the consequence of that decision. Trammell, a transfer from Seattle University who was courted by Texas Tech and Southern California, among others, has been an indispensable cog for San Diego State, which has reached the men’s Final Four for the first time. He scored 21 points in the upset of top-ranked Alabama, and his free throw with 1.2 seconds left lifted the Aztecs over Creighton in the South Regional final. “It’s wild how it’s all worked out,” Trammell said on Friday, one day before San Diego State was set to play Florida Atlantic for a spot in the national championship game.
☆ Ditching noncompete clauses would be a win for workers' rights and employees in low-wage jobs
  + stars: | 2023-01-06 | by ( Marguerite Ward | ) www.businessinsider.com   time to read: +5 min
Noncompetes prevent some workers in low-wage jobs from leaving for better opportunities. If the FTC succeeds in banning noncompete clauses, it can be an important win for low-wage workers and a pivotal moment in the push for workplace equity, advocates for the change say. Annabelle Chih/Getty ImagesCritics point out that many workers subject to noncompete language aren't high-profile executives who've amassed trade secrets — they're average workers. In 2015, The Verge reported on Amazon's use of noncompete agreements for warehouse workers. "Noncompete agreements help artificially stifle competition in the labor market, allowing employers to keep wages low by limiting workers' employment options," Constant wrote.
☆ Meet a first-generation attorney with $347,000 in student debt who can't land a job and says 'there are a substantial number of people like me that are being forgotten'

Steve Pederzani was told that going to law school would set him up for a comfortable future. But he hasn't been able to land a steady job and is buried in $347,000 worth of student debt. "And with law school, everyone said that I'll never have to worry about those things." But after graduating from law school in 2017, Pederzani today has $347,000 in student debt that keeps growing. Those loans are included in President Joe Biden's plan to forgive up to $20,000 in student debt for federal borrowers making under $125,000 a year.
