Some good news items

Apparently, someone with lots of money is going around giving huge anonymous donations to universities run by women. Not even the financial people at the chosen schools know who it is, so there's really no reason to doubt that the donor's stated motive of making a difference to the students is phony.

The Phillies have had a not-awful season thus far, and are currently wrapping up a three game series against the Marlins in which they engaged in a bit of a 9th-inning slugfest, in game one turning being down 3-0 into a 7-3 win. As I type this they are finishing up the third game and have decided to stop screwing around with coming from behind, and are up 8-1 in the top of the 8th. I like it when the Phillies get a lead early on and hold onto it.
