Obituaries
-A couple of sad notes today, as there are two deaths that need mention.
The first is Christopher Reeve, who died today of heart failure. The man who played Superman may best be remembered for his courage following a freak accident that left him paralyzed. Reeve didn't give up, but rather worked hard in the hope of walking again, and became an activist for victims such as himself.
Rest in peace, Mr. Reeve.

-In another untimely death, Ken Caminiti, who won the National League MVP in 1996, died yesterday from an apparent heart attack.
Caminiti may have attained more notoriety after his career, when he not only admitted to using steroids, but said that half of baseball was also taking them.
According to the AP story, he tested positive for cocaine earlier this month, which was a problem for him after baseball.
May he rest in peace.
