Mavric Posted May 1, 2023 Share Posted May 1, 2023 30 years ago, one decision altered the course of our connected world Quote 30 years ago, listeners tuning into Morning Edition heard about a futuristic idea that could profoundly change their lives. "Imagine being able to communicate at-will with 10 million people all over the world," NPR's Neal Conan said. "Imagine having direct access to catalogs of hundreds of libraries as well as the most up-to-date news, business and weather reports. Imagine being able to get medical advice or gardening advice immediately from any number of experts. "This is not a dream," he continued. "It's internet." Quote Link to comment
knapplc Posted May 11, 2023 Share Posted May 11, 2023 Hard to fathom that the catcher wasn't tossed after the second throw. UIL looking into viral McCamey softball incident The Texas University Interscholastic League is investigating an incident that happened at a McCamey playoff softball game last weekend. In McCamey’s Area Championship series against Cisco High School, the McCamey catcher is seen twice hitting a Cisco batter in the head with a throw. The videos have sparked debate on social media this week over whether or not the throws were intentionally targeted at the Cisco batters. The video was originally posted by the father of one of the batters that was struck. No one was ejected after either instance. The UIL said in a statement to KMID, it “is aware of an incident that occurred during the McCamey vs. Cisco Softball Playoff Series and is in contact with the school administrations to gather additional information.” As the viral video has circled social media, similar accounts have surfaced of other teams experiencing the same thing against McCamey this season. The Coleman Today described two instances in which the McCamey catcher hit the same batter twice in the head with a throw during Coleman’s bi-district playoff game. KMID reached out to two additional schools that were reported to have experienced the same against McCamey and one declined to comment on the situation, while the other did not respond to the request. 1 Quote Link to comment
