| It’s been a riveting start to spring training.
Still, spring training is camp is poised to be a microcosm of the uneventful offseason, when the biggest news is there was no news. As ESPN's Jayson Stark put it: "When was the last offseason in which the Red Sox and Yankees both added, essentially, no new players of major significance? 1904?...The Yankees and Red Sox spend the entire offseason talking to the Twins about Johan Santana. Then neither of them trades for him. What's baseball coming to, anyway?" Indeed. While the Devil Rays were out putting their latest touches on their 10-year rebuilding plan, the Blue Jays were adding Scott Rolen, and the Orioles were off doing whatever in God's name it is they do to prepare for another disastrous season, the Red Sox and Yankees took a look around, and on the seventh day decided it was good.
SAISD workers accused of stealing copper
Two former San Antonio Independent School District employees have been accused of stealing copper. "We have presented charges to the DA for prosecution of two former employees for stealing copper tubing from several of our schools," SAISD spokeswoman Carmen Vázquez-González said. Authorities have not charged the two men, so their names are not available. On Wednesday, copper was selling for about $3 per pound. Vázquez-González says the pair took up to $10,000 worth of copper from air conditioning units from portable buildings and other school district facilities. "We're looking at, right now, at least $10,000 in aggregate charges," she said. .
Communication can stave off headaches on car repairs
When it comes to spending money, the expense that causes the most angst is cars. A review of the Better Business Bureau of Southern Colorado files found car dealers and repair shops were the most popular complaints in 2007, similar to the level they did the year before. Each month last year, they were among the top 10 complaints received. And according to BBBSC executive director Carol Odell, those complaints will remain a fact of life. "That will always be because that’s not a science," she said of car repair. "It’s hard to determine what’s really going wrong." Because cars are used daily, what’s fixed one day may break the next and not always be related to the last repair, she said. "When a consumer brings their vehicle in for one thing, there could be other problems," said Blair Reeves, director of operations with the BBBSC.

Death Toll from Southern Tornadoes Climbs to 50
LAFAYETTE, Tenn. (AP) -- Residents in five Southern states tried to salvage what they could Wednesday from homes reduced to piles of debris, a day after the deadliest cluster of tornadoes in nearly a decade tore through the region, snapping trees and crumpling homes. At least 50 people were dead.
Rescue crews, some with the help of the National Guard, went door-to-door looking for more victims. Dozens of twisters were reported as the storms swept through Kentucky, Tennessee, Mississippi, Arkansas and Alabama.
Seavia Dixon, whose Atkins, Ark., home was shattered, stood Wednesday morning in her yard, holding muddy baby pictures of her son, who is now a 20-year-old soldier in Iraq. Only a concrete slab was left from the home.
The family's brand new white pickup truck was upside-down, about 150 yards from where it was parked before the storm.
