Bsbal Rned by Txt Msgs?
I think I have seen everything now. No longer is at least one team of the West Akron Baseball League using their traditional dugout hand signs for the base coaches. To be a coach on this team, you better be on the same "network" as the team manager. The commands to the base coaches are being delivered by text messages. The Akron Beacon Journal reported that the team manager, the son-in-law of the former Cleveland Indians skipper Mike Hargrove, has started utilizing the technology because the coaches were missing the signs. I can already see how this will play out in the next Major League movie.

Verdict Over Digital Music Theft
I guess I will have to watch this story and related developments with more interest. Some how I missed that a Case Western Reserve University student was being pursued by the music industry.
The story shares the verdict against a Minnesota woman. She must pay $1.92 million for 24 songs. It also points out a Case student is being sued as well.
