And some more updates...

No pre-trial motions today in the Alphonso Rodriguez Jr. trial. Jury selection is still expected to start Thursday in Fargo, and could go a couple of weeks.

All Things Considered's Tom Crann will put in a call to the North Pole (what's the area code there?) to speak with explorer Lonnie Dupre, who along with Eric Larsen has led the first expedition to reach the pole during summer.

Tom will also speak to a University of Minnesota official about recent graduation rate trends; they're up, but still lag peer universities.
