[Jim Porter]

Alan G asked, "We would use JEA, but we haven't been able to get a copy. Anyone know how we can?"

There's only one way at the moment. Attend Jim's Academy. Otherwise you've got to wait until it comes out on CD-ROM and is released to the public. That was supposed to happen last year. Now, no one knows if it will happen at all.

Ray Leuty, who is Executive Director of the Academy, tells me Jim is "very involved in the former Major League Baseball
Umpires Union on-going arbitration case."

My guess is that the labor dispute might have ruined it for all of us.
