Careful, don’t catch it! I’m all for keeping things fresh, but does anyone think the new name for the Nevada Test Site—N2S2—sounds like the latest flu strain? — Ken Miller, contributing editor

Brain drain It’s amazing that UNLV’s College of Fine Arts chases off its best to keep old-timers happy. Despite stellar qualifications (as artist and educator), Stephen Hendee was officially denied tenure. — Kristen Peterson, staff writer

Dyn-o-Mite Facebook game Mafia Wars Las Vegas celebrated 10 million visitors in two weeks by having Snoop Dogg blow up an armored car in the Nevada desert. Social media is officially gangsta. — Sarah Feldberg, editor
