Baseball and Crime
No, the two aren't related, unless you're Steve Howe, Darryl Strawberry or possibly (allegedly!) Barry Bonds. But two quick links are all I have today, while I try to bang out book chapters.
First, spring training for the baseball season has come to Okinawa, among other sites. Here's a schedule. One of the teams trains a five-minute walk from my house. Sweet!
Also, new crime and population statistics are out. Fascinating stuff. Short version: crimes committed by Americans living here declined in 2006. Like that renowned criminal Martha Stewart would say, that's a good thing.
