Colorado has state equalization of many public school costs, with added amounts for rural schools with exceptional transportation costs and extra support for districts (particularly smaller ones) with unusual special education & English language learner costs. (A tiny rural district with two...

Do you realize what the penalty could be if she'd been found with the same stuff while entering Singapore? A "minor mistake" in the US isn't necessarily a "minor mistake" elsewhere. I'll save my sympathy for those unjustly locked up in Russia for expressing anti-war sentiments.

OK, but this isn't twitter. (Thank God.) And, your narrative changed, from speculating it was planted to acknowledging that she did bring it in. Personally, I'd be every bit as disgusted if white, heterosexual Ryan Lochte had been as foolish. I wouldn't be hugely invested in trading a bad...

Literally nowhere on this thread did any poster say she shouldn't have brought (in) lots of drugs. You suggested that it might have been planted evidence. Do you still think so?

Swimmers have the advantage of competing in relays from the time they are little. I wish the US would make relay camp a requirement for guys to be named to relay teams. They have blown it so many times.

Help! My daughter gets married next Saturday. My dress is a dark plum color heading more to the red zone than the blue. Especially with COVID, I just haven't worn makeup in two years, and I have dry eyes, so I quit eye makeup even before then. (Anything that melts into the eyes causes me...

I hope that means that skaters will see a nice full audience.

I got whacked much earlier in the thread for mentioning her because she is not transgender. Get with the plan, allezfred!

And folks should be fired for this.

Red Violin music is by John Corigliano.

I'd be upset if Trump, DeSantis, or Clarence Thomas were assassinated, and I can't stand any of them. We've had all too much assassination in the US.

It depends on what we'd have to give up to create a trade. An arms dealer? I'd be pretty unhappy with that. Not supplying Ukraine with advanced weapons? That's also a no. What is a reasonable trade? I'm not sure. I am sure that it is long past time for athletes and celebrities to get the...

Don't coaches have to obtain visas unless there is an applicable visa-waiver program? I'd hope governments would disallow visas for Russians.

I think the math could work. At Worlds, practices begin at 7am. They get through 3 groups (of 6 singles skaters) in just under 2 hours with an ice make after the second group. 3 groups of 5 skaters should be a little less time. 5 skater groups are acceptable under ISU rules for singles, right...

Perhaps they could expand the field for 5 GP events (say, upping singles entries to 15) if a sixth GP can't be sited.
