• Bud Selig has a Long Memory, but He Forgets Quickly, Too

Bud Selig prides himself on being a student of history. In two judgments last week, though, baseball's long-serving steward reminded us he can be a fan of selective memory, too, so long as it suits his purpose. First things first: In a decision that generated little comment but has far-reaching implications, Selig said he would let Barry Bonds' career (762) and single-season (73) home run records stand - that, despite the slugger's recent conviction on an obstruction of justice charge that grew out of an investigation into the use of performance-enhancing drugs in sport.

• Teens Sport Camouflage in Fight Against Drugs

If classes had been held in a forest at Marshall Middle School in Fauquier County, it would have been difficult for teachers to take attendance. As the first bell rang, students bounded into hallways wearing twig- and branch-imprinted jackets or sporting fatigues stamped U.S. Army.

• Places in the Art

Now Mill Valley's sole serious art gallery, Robert Green Fine Arts this month hosts a showing of works by John Grillo, one of the earliest "action painters," abstractionists who worked athletically on generally large canvases. This exhibit includes pieces from the 1940s and '50s, as bright and beautiful today as when they were created. Unlike the despairing work of many postwar painters, Grillo's is exuberant, in keeping with Green's affinity for art that induces joy. 415/381-8776, www.rgfinearts.com. Sharing space with Donna Seager Gallery at Fourth and Cijos streets in San Rafael, the Artisans artists' collective hosts All Things Great and Small-an unusual exhibit of "small" (less than 12 inches) or "large"(more than 3 feet) works both two- and three-dimensional.

• Cycling: Floyd Landis Says He Waited Too Long to Own Up to Doping

MELBOURNE, Australia -- Disgraced cyclist Floyd Landis says he waited almost four years to reveal his doping because he knew once he'd admitted lying, he would not be believed about the widespread use of performance enhancing drugs in the sport. After years of denials, Landis -- stripped of the 2006 Tour de France title because of doping -- admitted in May to using performance-enhancing drugs and accused others, including former teammate and seven-time Tour winner Lance Armstrong, of doping. Armstrong has vehemently denied the accusations and his attorney has described Landis as a "serial liar.

• Olympic Drug Loopholes, Athletes Will Be Doping in Turin, Says Former Wh Drug Spokesman; World Must Better Support Wada

WASHINGTON, Feb. 10 /U.S. Newswire/ -- "At the Winter Olympic Games in Turin just underway, athletes will have a lot more to compete with than each other: cheaters using drugs. Athletes will be doping in Turin," says Robert Weiner, the former spokesman for the White House Drug Policy Office (1995-2001) as well as the House Narcotics Committee and media consultant to WADA at the 2002 Salt Lake Games. "Despite important progress against drugs in sport by the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) and the International Olympic Committee (IOC), the loopholes remaining are large enough for athletes to ski, sled, and skate right through.
