Gadgets boost flirting with mobile sparks and PDAs
A shift from old notes to wireless flirtation unfolds as text messages, pagers, and PDAs spread in dating culture. Peter Shankman, CEO of the Geek Factory, uses Handspring infrared flirtation and two way pagers to connect. Britons embrace SMS poetry and online services for secret crushes, while defenders worry about the ease of flirtation and the loss of in person charm.

Spokane bishop Skylstad center of abuse crisis
Spokane's Bishop Skylstad faces scrutiny as attorney Tim Kosnoff files suit against O'Donnell and the Spokane Diocese alleging he knew of abuse and said nothing. Victims say misconduct occurred from 1971 to 1986 across seven parishes with diocese-paid treatment. O'Donnell, now in private practice in Bellevue, did not comment. A seven-bishop panel led by Skylstad reviews the matter for a November bishops' meeting.
