A Day of Winning
Today, Michael Phelps won his 8th Olympic gold medal at a single Olympic event. Congratulations!
When the Star Spangled Banner was playing, I reflected on how unusal it must be to hear that song in Communist China.
In a comparable achievement, my girlfriend and I won a $25 Shell gas card while eating lunch at Texas Roadhouse this afternoon.
Weird departmental email…
From the physics department at the UofA:
Last week, on Tuesday, July 17th, there was an incident involving the behavior of one of our undergraduate students, [name redacted], in the AMS Lab. This incident has been under review by the Dean of Students Office for the past week, and was resolved at a meeting yesterday. [name redacted] is no longer a student at The University of Arizona, and is not allowed on campus. If any of you who know him see him on campus, please call 911. It is believed that this episode has been resolved satisfactorily.
No further information was provided by the department, and I can’t find anything on the university police or local news sites. I also suspect they meant “June” rather than “July”.
Anyone have further details? I was out of the country at the time.
