Derek Lowe, an Arkansan by birth, got his BA from Hendrix College and his PhD in organic chemistry from Duke before spending time in Germany on a Humboldt Fellowship on his post-doc. He's worked for several major pharmaceutical companies since 1989 on drug discovery projects against schizophrenia, Alzheimer's, diabetes, osteoporosis and other diseases.

Just wanted people to know that I'll have what should be a very interesting post up a bit later on (around lunchtime). I'm traveling today, but I'll have a layover in which to post. See everyone then!
@PlasticIguana- I suspect this is less of a traditional media teaser, and more of a "yes, I know the new post that you expect every morning is not up. Please don't email me and ask if I'm dead" sort of thing.
I heard (from someone who heard a very reliable source a long time ago and knows what one sounds like) that if used the blue toilet paper this morning, he's going to NY, while if he used the white paper, he's staying in Cleveland. (The green paper apparently is a sign-and-trade to Dallas.) I need to know!!

Hap, you know LBJ is going to the Knicks. They sent Jay-Z and Spike Lee to recruit him! Who cares that they don't have any good players besides David Lee? They have star power! That oughta get him a title!

The problem is, I don't know if the Knicks have any good management, either, and the owner hasn't covered himself in glory (the I. Thomas fiasco, both his coaching of players and his "coaching" of employees).
No one told me what paper colors are for the Nets and Clippers. I assume ESPN will get that info soon.
I would love it if he goes to the Clippers, see which of the fairweather celebrities jumps ship from Laker games to go to the Clips (Snoop Dogg, I'm looking in your direction). He might make Baron Davis look good again too, clean up the glass on all his misfired 3's.
Nah, Dr. Lowe's from Arkansas. The SEC's a better choice anyway. If he were out west, the Pac-10 would be better. If geography set conference membership, the Big East would probably be best.
I wonder how the conferences would break down if they had collegiate (legal) drug development teams. If geographically, it'd be the Big East and the Pac-10 every year, probably.

When you start putting teasers out, you're really going over to the dark side of the media world. Just lost your balance for a minute; don't fall.

I hope it's about Lindsay Lohan. She hasn't been in the news very much lately and I'm VERY curious what she's been up to!

No, I need to know what LeBron James is doing.
I heard (from someone who heard a very reliable source a long time ago and knows what one sounds like) that if used the blue toilet paper this morning, he's going to NY, while if he used the white paper, he's staying in Cleveland.
