So at our events we get a collection of people who wouldn't normally be in the same space at the same time.
Money from the art auction goes to Censudi, an organization in northern Ghana that's pretty amazing," Warner said. "It was started by women whose father was the first man to send his...

The Major League Baseball drafting system may be broken and could look different in a new collective bargaining agreement after the current one expires in December.
But for all its drawbacks -- negotiations that last until the final seconds before the signing deadline, millions paid to unproven players, prospects who miss weeks of development in the interim -- the system has worked for the Pirates.
