When I was ten years old, I drove my parents crazy to let me play Little League Baseball. I thought I was a pretty good player because I would practice on some nights hitting and catching in the backyard with my father. I can still remember when my grandfather took me to a local high school on a cold January night to sign up to play Little League Baseball in my neighborhood.
During March, in front of all the coaches, they held a hitting and catching trials. I was very excited to show my stuff, but I really didn't play very well. I even dropped an easy fly ball. I thought, "Who would want me on their team?" However, I found out later I had one advantage: I threw with my right hand but I hit left-handed! A few weeks later, I remember receiving a phone call from a coach, and he informed me that I was going to play for the team named "The Scouts." I jumped with joy and thought, "Wow, I'm now a member of a real team!"
The Scouts didn't win many games that year, but it didn't really matter. I remember receiving my first uniform and a cap with an "S" on it, playing catcher, eating snow cones after every game (win or lose), my baseball glove that my brother gave me, and even getting two hits in one game! Lots of great childhood memories!
Now some thirty-odd years later - January 2003. I recently signed my 6-year-old daughter, Ashley, up for her first Little League Baseball experience. She'll play Tee-ball this spring. While sitting in our local township building during the registration process for my daughter, all my memories of playing Little League Baseball that I've talked about raced through my head.
When I signed up years ago, girls were forbidden to play Little League Baseball, and you couldn't play until you were at least ten years old. Today, I'm excited that Ashley will have the opportunity to play baseball at such a young age. She practices with me in the backyard too, but she can hit a lot better than her daddy. I hope she has the time of her life playing the great game of baseball and has lots of fantastic growing-up memories, too!

Interviewer (I): Hello, listeners. Welcome to our weekly World of computers. Today, Deji Akala, our resident IT expert, will give us some advice on protection against computer viruses. Deji, what is a computer virus?
Deji Akala (DA): Welcome, everybody. Well, a virus is a piece of malicious code, written to have undesirable effects on another person's computer. It is just like any other piece of software, created by someone who knows about programming.
(I): Who's responsible for spreading viruses?
(DA): Viruses are the handiwork of young people, some in their teens, acting alone or as members of international virus-creating groups co-operating via the Internet.
(I): Why do they implement them?
(DA): It is not clear what exactly motivates them. However, thirst for fame, job search, satisfaction from seeing your neighbour grimace in pain, and vandalism of public property, anti-establishment culture and the like may contribute to this phenomenon.
(I): Why are viruses problematic?
(DA): Well, they are invisible to the naked eye. They move around the world, spread by innocent users of the Internet, destroying all that gets in their way. The damage they cause has already cost companies billions of dollars.
(I): For example?
(DA): For example, the I Love You virus, which originated in the Philippines. Its effects reverberated around the globe. Large businesses have lost millions to the virus plague. We should expect a continuous upsurge in the emergence of viruses. So far, more than 60,000 different viruses have been identified, and 400 new ones are released onto the net every month.
(I): How can we protect our systems, then?
(DA): You can download the shareware versions of applications such as Norton AntiVirus or
Kaspersky Antivirus and use them for roughly 30 days. When you install the software, it scans your machine for already infected files. You may configure these programs to automatically check your e-mail and delete any virus-carrying attachments before downloading your messages.
(I): That sounds promising. Thank you, Deji.

Announcer: Welcome, listeners. This is BBC news latest report.

Rescuers are searching for a Greenpeace activist who is thought to have fallen overboard from a boat in the Amazon.
Emily Craddock, 27, was in Brazil as part of the environmental group's campaign against illegal logging. The crew on the Arctic Sunrise ship last saw Ms Craddock on Saturday, as they sailed on the Xingu River, 1,500 miles north of Rio de Janeiro. They discovered the Londoner was missing several hours later and turned the boat around to retrace its course. Greenpeace said it was still hopeful of finding Ms Craddock, who was part of a team that had faced threats from loggers. A spokeswoman said: "We don't know what happened yet, but at this moment, we don't state any suspicion that her disappearance could have anything to do with the anti-logging campaign." The search for the radio operator has been joined by a helicopter, Cessna plane and three inflatable boats. The British Foreign Office confirmed it was in contact with Ms Craddock's family.

The Queen has returned home after a knee operation, and surgery to remove two small lesions from her face.
She smiled as she left the King Edward VII Hospital in London, on her feet but with the aid of a stick. Buckingham Palace said she should make a full recovery within a few weeks of the successful surgery, which was on Friday and took 75 minutes. It is understood she will recuperate at her London home before heading to Sandringham in Norfolk for Christmas. As the Queen left hospital, two stitches could be seen above her left eyebrow and a black mark under her eye, but trousers covered her knee bandage. She smiled as she clambered into her green Daimler without difficulty. The monarch, 77, has cancelled some commitments planned for next week. But she will still attend to government papers and her annual Christmas broadcast.
A hoard of Iron Age coins have been unearthed by a couple from Kent who could make thousands of pounds from the find.
Peter and Christine Johnson, from Sittingbourne, sparked a massive dig when they discovered some coins on farmland near Maidstone using a metal detector. The couple contacted Kent County Council and as a result more than 360 coins and coin fragments, dating from the first century BC, were dug up. It is thought the coins may have been left in the field by members of the Cantiaci tribe, which gave their name to the county of Kent.
The hoard could be worth thousands of pounds, according to the council, which is keeping the coins in its safekeeping until they are sent to the British Museum for analysis.
