  • One week into the semester and some Vandy kids have already tried to burn the place down, with cookies. [WSMV]
  • Clifton Harris, director of the Metro Homelessness Commission, was nearly fired today after MDHA discovered a computer securities contract he had administered without going through the proper channels. But because this was his first violation and he has a record of doing some great things for the community, he was only given 90 days probation. [Tennessean]
  • Flu vaccines are available starting today across Tennessee several weeks earlier than usual. The CDC wants everyone to get them as soon as they’re available unless you want this to happen to you. [WKRN]
  • The Titans cut their roster down to 75 by trading four players: Dudley Guice, Rafael Little, Tyson Smith, and Matt Lehr. [Tennessean]
