ESPN.com - NCB - Penders treated after suffering in-game fainting spell

I will always kind of like Tom Penders because he used to be Texas’ coach and GW’s coach. This is so f-ed up though. The man has a heart condition, drops to the floor. The ref thinks he’s arguing a call and shoot him a tech! Then they figure out he’s actually having a medical issue and the REFS DON’T TAKE BACK THE TECH!!!! Penders was fine and came back to coach. His team lost by 3. I didn’t watch the game, don’t know what happened. But at the VERY least 1 point should be off.

CNN.com - Study: College students lack literacy for complex tasks - Jan 20, 2006

I think they are just idiots. And I think it goes back to high school. I like that they mention college students are really good at using searches and using information (text information) they find. Go GOOGLE!!!

So instead of studying (which I will do as soon as I’m done eating lunch), I’m watching TV. And flipping around I stopped at Celebrity Fit Club. And one of the people (Jeff Connally or whatever, the guy from Grease) had some drug problems and was brought into see Dr. Drew Pinski in an emergency session.

So here’s the thing… is Dr. Drew the ONLY doctor in the country that you can call Dr. [insert first name here] and still take him seriously? Like if you go to a doc and he/she is like “Call me Dr. Bobb(y/i)” and the first name is a full name, can you really take that doc seriously? I couldn’t. But Dr. Drew seems to not suffer that problem.

CNN.com - Baltimore surprised to be ‘fittest city’ - Jan 6, 2006

houston is no longer the fattest city in the country… those porkers in chicago are! houston dropped from fattest to 5th fattest… that’s progress!

baltimore went from 25th fattest to fittest city in one year somehow or other…

i’ve never lived out west, but i am surprised that LA and long beach, CA both made top 10 fattest cities…
