Leftovers: Don't Let The Door Hit You, Etc.

• You go, Inquirer! Just a few days after the paper's report on the city's Department of Human Services' failures in the deaths of several children, the head of the DHS resigns. Cheryl Ransom-Garner -- who said, "I think DHS is doing a great job" in Sunday's Inquirer report -- escaped the fate of her deputy, John McGee, who was relieved of his duties. [Inquirer]

• A substitute teacher at Creighton Elementary school lost three of her fingertips after a defective window slammed down on them. There is one thing worse than being a substitute teacher in the Philadelphia School District. Being a substitute teacher in the Philadelphia School District and losing three of your fingertips to a defective window. [Daily News]

• A West Chester man is suing the makers of Second LIfe for confiscating his property after he figure out a way to buy it for a much cheaper price. (Or something like that.) Reuters' Second Life bureau -- yes, they have one -- will surely be on this right away. [Inky]

• That Bill Giles trophy presentation last night? Apparently, the trophy is named after his father. Heh, who knew? [The 700 Level]
