A lot of things have happened in the past week in the baseball and football world. Since the NFL lockout ended the trades have come fast and furious and exciting. After what has taken place in the last few days should bring a great deal of excitement for all NFL fans. In all honesty I think it would be a lot more fun if trades couldn’t take place until the first of July. With all the haggling that usually happens and the negotiations dragging out and impasse after impasse i...

I never heard of social media or social networking until the other day when USA Today ran a pitch for it from educators. It apparently involved Facebook, the Internet, Twitter and the Youtube, all of which I know little about other than they are uses of the computer that can be dangerous not only to the young and ignorant but the old and senile.

Lost in the news over the economic crisis in Europe and the debt ceiling debate in the United States was the unceremonious end of NASA’s space shuttle program.
