Major League Baseball (MLB) had a problem that was hard to deal with this week,as word spread that the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) and the United States Department of Justice are investigating the St Louis Cardinals. Employees of the team may have hacked(非法侵入) into the computer database of the Houston Astros. If the investigation proves that the Cardinals did do the act,it will be considered not only unsportsmanlike but also illegal.
In a statement,the MLB said it is aaware of and has fully cooperated with the federal investigation into the illegsd act of the Houston Astros' baseball operations database.The organization added,“Once the investigative process has been completed by federal law enforcement officials,we will judge the next steps and will make decisions immediately.w The investigation began after the Astros* internal trade talks were posted anonymously（匿名地） on the Internet last year. People wanted to know who was responsible for making the private information public.
The two major-league teams had been competitors for a long time,but things became even worse when the Astros hired Jeff Luhnow as their general manager in 2011. Luhnow had previously worked for the Cardinals as head of their player development department. Investigators think the Cardinals may have been able to get inside the Astros’ database using Luhnow's old passwords from when he was working for the St. Louis team.
This is the first known case of a professional sports team hacking another team's network,but some cybersecurity(网络安全) experts say other teams may have done it before without getting caught. Craig Newman,chairman of the privacy and data security practice of the New York law firm Patterson Belknap Webb & Tyler,told The AssociatedPress that it would be “irresponsible” to assume this is the first incident of hacking in the world of professional sports.

In 1970,Cincinnatian Will Radcliff discovered a slush machine(冷饮机) when he was at a Chicago trade show. One evening,Radcliff asked for the help of his mother and sister to brainstorm some names for his would-be slushy drink. Over a six-pack of beer,they wrote down a Landfill of possibilities on a brown paper bag and came up with the idea for Slush Puppie,which would feature a cartoon dog as their logo (标识) . Shortly thereafter,Radcliff spent all the money he had and founded the company.
Though other iced drinks such as ICEE already existed,Slush Puppie was different because it was a non-carbonated drink created with flavored syrups (糖浆) and water that are mixed together in a machine and then frozen.
When Radcliff started what would become a multimillion-dollar enterprise,only four flavors were offered: cherry,grape,orange,and lemon-lime. Today,there are more than 40 flavors available,many of which contain fresh juices and vitamins. An eight-ounce Slush Puppie contains 119 calories,which would take a 31-minute walk to bum off. Yet,it has a very pleasant taste.
Radcliff’s flavored iced drink business took off and by 1999 sales had reached $25 million a year — that's a lot of slush!An astute businessman,he eventually pushed his idea into a global phenomenon; Slush Puppies have found their way into 62 nations,including parts of Africa and Europe,via 650,000 machines.
In 2000 Cadbury Schweppes bought Slush Puppie Corp., and in 2006 J&J Snack Foods — which also owns ICEE — purchased the company from Cadbury. By this point,Radcliff was ready to retire and had purchased more than 3,000 acres of Florida wetlands,where he built a large farm and became a fierce advocate for land conservation.
