Bumps and grinds

Remember the news item about the tenured prof who knocked a cyclist off his bike with her car? Read this to see how the case turned out. The university is "investigating," too. Remember, this is the school that claims "words can hurt." Let's see what they say about a moving vehicle.

And if you think I'm exaggerating about rampant grade-grubbing, read this from the Washington Post. (Link will expire, so read it soon.)

More later from my desk, but it's a nice day out (even with red-level air alerts, not to be confused with Homeland Security alerts) so I'm going to the pool.
