DePaul offers 8th-grader scholarship: Interim coach Tracy Webster has made an official offer to 12-year-old Jahlil Okafor of Rosemont Elementary School District 78 to play basketball at DePaul in 2014. The offer came after DePaul's narrow home loss to Syracuse on Jan. 30. After Jahlil's dad confirmed it was an official offer, he responded "I wouldn't commit myself to anything right now," Chuck Okafor said. "It would be stupid. It's good for his confidence, but we're not going to think about it too much." And if you are wondering, yes, they are related.

Phoenix Republican Rep. John McComish wants to keep the Cubs spring training facility in Arizona, at your expense of course.: Part of the $84 million cost would include a ticket increase for all spring training games in Arizona, including those not played by the Cubs. Cubs supporters have said all teams benefit from the Cubs because the Chicago team increases attendance at their away games.

Weir-d?: US Olympic figure skater Johnny Weir has been taking some heat about his inclusion of fox fur on his most recent costume. Both PETA and Friends of Animals have criticized the skater and his designer for the use of the fur. The FoA sent this open letter to Weir. His response: "Every skater is wearing skates made out of cow. Maybe I'm wearing a cute little fox while everyone else is wearing cow, but we're all still wearing animals."

The original question was:
Has any other manager failed a frickin' drug test?
So, the answer is no then?
Or is an alcohol related test = to cocaine now.

Sorta.
I guess I was reading 'drug' to be the key word, not 'failed' or 'test'.

So, thinking back to my childhood, I recall our phys ed teacher trotting around the fields with the chalk machine while somehow his eyes were always focused on the cheerleaders practice. Good thing there wasn't google earth then. Who knows what he had marked on those fields. My guess is that the sideline looked a little like this:

I don't think I like the baster option at all. I don't care if the therapist has a license for it or not.

Alrighty then.
Mine did mail today...YYM, bender and folkways should receive this week. Owlhouse, I'm not sure. I mailed them during the day, so they should arrive in the middle of the night, right?

*meaning: sometime before cd swap 2011 or within the next couple days

You're fooling yourself if you think Canada is a lock to win gold.
Never said lock, I said favorite.
And what you're identifying as surprise is probably better described as relief.
I can agree with that.
That's exactly what you're suggesting.
No, it's not. That should have been clear when I said "I'm not suggesting that Canada shouldn't enjoy the win. Or that Canada shouldn't celebrate." My comments were based on what I see, hear and read, and my intentions were, in no way meant to rain on anybody's parade. I want Canada to celebrate, just as I would want the US or Sweden or the Czechs to celebrate. I just have sensed more surprise from Canada than I thought. That is my opinion and observation, if you want to attach some hidden meaning along to it, feel free, but in this case you're wrong in assuming my intentions.
By the way, your water consumption link was posted a few days ago.

Considering my 2009 fantasy upkeep was atrocious, I am out.
I will sell my spot to the highest bidder.

I'm not suggesting that Canada shouldn't enjoy the win. Or that Canada shouldn't celebrate. I expect each country in the tournament would've had similar reactions. My observation was simply that Canadians seem more surprised by the win than anything else. Relax.

It's Nascar.
Not NASCAR.
Not according to NASCAR.
Or pretty much every other acronym.

We'll stop enjoying it when someone else wins it.
No doubt Canada should enjoy the gold until they are dethroned.
But with the frame-by-frame pictorial, water usage charts, flight delays, etc... it just seems that Canada is surprised to have won it. And Canada winning gold in hockey should be about as surprising as the US winning in baseball. Congrats to Team Canada for doing exactly what every Canadian thought they would do - win gold.
Now, I'm going to go and listen to the song "Blame Canada" (South Park) that I recently acquired in the swap. Might even put it on repeat.

Rangers Manager Tested Positive for Cocaine
The technicality being discussed here is my fault, I know that. I made the notion in my first comment that cocaine and alcohol were not the same. Grum asserted that, in fact, they were both 'drugs'. That I can't argue with and I won't. What I am suggesting is that equating the two, in this case, doesn't answer the original question.
(BTW, I have a fresh sample of blueberry mist, I am very relaxed. And I will not be driving.)
