| Optimist tournament spotlights kids
For 39 years, the Cave Spring Optimist Club has sponsored a fishing tournament on Smith Mountain Lake to raise money for its many youth activities. Kids who never fish benefit from fishing. But the tournament also offers a fishing opportunity for youngsters through a youth tournament that I am proud to say bears my name. The event is sponsored by Atlas Cold Storage. It works this way: From 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Saturday, May 5, youngsters age 12 and younger are invited to go fishing and to weigh their catch at Foxport Marina. The next day, contestants who have registered the largest fish in two categories will receive U.S. Saving Bonds. The two categories are carp and sunfish (bluegill). First place in each category is worth a $100 bond; second, a $75 bond and third, a $50 bond.

Watchdog for online piracy trains at Orlando university
WASHINGTON (MCT) — The music industry's next weapon against online piracy is being tested at the University of Central Florida — a new front in the battle to stop college students from stealing music and movies.
School officials have confirmed that the campus is experimenting with a new watchdog program designed to prevent students from using computers to swap copyright-protected files.
Developed at the University of Florida, the "Integrity" program tracks data transfers between computers, searching for code patterns that indicate users are illegally transferring material.
Once located, the program automatically tells students they've been caught. Depending on the school, this can lead to a range of punishments, such as a temporary ban from the system.
