If this include tickets to conventions hotel and what not, in the past I have spent up to 1500 in one year for anime/manga related items
Last year I spent about 300$
By the end of this year, I project I'll spend about 450$
Most I've ever spent on a single piece of anime/manga is a tie between Neon Genesis Evangelion Platinum Collection and the Azumanga Daioh boxsets
Both were $80, but I'm going to take a wild stab and say that as soon as I got Azumanga Daioh signed, it was worth much more, and worth it.
After those two, my 1/7th scale Goth Lolita Asuka Figurine, is $50. Everything else I have is in the 15-30 dollar range.
Total break down (estimation) of the total cost of my collection
53 manga volumes (about 18 bucks ea.) $954
2 box sets, 2 movies: $196
5 wallscrolls, 1 figurine: $150
About 1 year of NewtypeUSA (18 issues, 20 bucks each): $360
Total: $1,660
Course, this is spread out over years of collecting.
Ofcourse, this all pales in comparison to my collection of Star Trek novels, video games (I have 100+, most, if not all bought when they were brand new and around 60 bucks), and TV show boxsets

In the last month I have probably spent about $300 on anime dvds you know box sets and what not. I have credit cards, and I like to use them. Hahaha
BTW Aceman, I love your curtains.
Signature is a Gwenibe original.
Be careful with credit cards, they're a slippery slope that is hard to get back up once you're down it.
And thanx, I'll let my mom know you like her curtains (I have a Newfoundland Flag over my window, I don't believe in curtains)
Uh...It varies but in order to stay current I have had to give up cocaine.
Anyway.... I am sooo not an "anime fan"? I guess I thought I was... until these recent threads that sort of set standards.
I am not one for keeping items well intact. I could blame my 2 young kids for this. But, the honest truth is that I am just particularly careless. Maybe its the ADHD... riiight.
"Ooo, ace's post has purdy pictures"
I have rented, borrowed, and watched more free anime than anything else. I've probably spent just over $260.00 on anime DVD's in my entire life's span (including rentals). And at this time I don't still own a single one of them. They are either lost, damaged, borrowed out and never returned (damn you Karma), Or I sold 'em. So maybe I'd have to subtract about $60.00 bucks of that previous estimate.
... Not Ever Again...
well i can spend up to $300 maybe $400 a year on books, dvds, plushies, anything animeted related. well my mom spends that much. but right now im getting shipped off to my house is a ' Katana '. so i spend a good amount and it depends on the book were talking about for me to go spend on anycost.

Walker County Sheriff Investigator Ralph Williams said accounts from the victims and witnesses of the crime indicate 53-year-old Steven Anthony Parnell kidnapped at knife-point a 36-year-old woman along with her 77-year-old grandmother and 12-year-old son.
According to Williams, the three victims lived next door to Parnell's home off Scott Road in Cordova.
Williams said Parnell forced the woman to drive him to a local doctor's office where he planned to get a prescription for pain medication.
According to a release from the Sheriff's Office, the victim drove Parnell to a clinic at the 4300 block of Highway 78 East. When they arrived at the office, the victims fled from the car and ran into the building.
Williams said Parnell forced his way into the office and then assaulted the 36-year-old victim and a nurse, who had come from an adjacent office to help.
Williams said a passing motorist, Tony Williams of Nauvoo, stopped and subdued Parnell until Jasper Police officers arrived on the scene.
Sheriff's deputies Mark Bell and Kevin Williams then took custody of Parnell and transported him to the Walker County Jail.
Williams said the Sheriff's investigators will remain in contact with Walker County District Attorney Bill Adair's office about the incident, which remains under investigation.

Chicago aldermen are trying to change the city's disorderly conduct ordinance.
It follows a recent shooting at a gang funeral, where two men were shot, one fatally.
Aldermen advanced the provision Friday in a meeting of the City Council's Public Safety Committee.
The amendment would allow officials to move crowds and pat down people attending gang funerals, but city attorneys say it would not give officers new powers.

The Bionic Buck
Once you read this deer hunting tale, you may agree that this whitetail earned the name I later gave him: The Bionic Buck.

Yes indeed, this is truly the tale of a buck...

Socialize Was Acquired by ShareThis. Here's What The Experience Was Like.
As was reported in TechCrunch today, we've just signed a deal to sell our startup Socialize to ShareThis. Although having a successful exit is a dream for many entrepreneurs, I find myself feeling a wide range of emotions and thoughts. I'd like to share some of them in this blog to provide an honest assessment of what it's like to work tirelessly on a startup and then sell it.
The first thing I want to say is that often upon a sale, you'll hear everyone involved talk about how "pumped" or "excited" they are. The truth of the matter is that it's much more complex than that. There is absolutely a sense of excitement. But I've asked for, and gotten, permission from ShareThis to speak honestly about the wide range of feelings and to speak to the complexity of it all so I can provide a more thoughtful and honest assessment than one typically sees in these situations. Think of it as a peek under the covers of an acquisition.
I've broken this blog up into several parts:

Like all of you, I live and breath baseball, from watching my hometown team in the LWS this year to high school, college, and minor league ball. Also like many of you, I am deeply involved in fantasy baseball, and have come to appreciate the many more complexities that dynasty and minor leagues bring to the table.
I currently run a 14 team, H2H dynasty league with a shallow minors system (8 players, simple call-up rules). Although it is comprised mostly of friends who I've had in my football leagues, it's a fairly competitive league as about 1/2 the guys really "get it"...and we must be doing something right, as we've had zero turnover in owners (something I've never had with the football leagues I've been in) and it is not cheap. However, I still get the feeling that the other half just consider it a sideshow for something to keep them occupied between football seasons.
This has left me "wanting more" out of a premium dynasty league. I've looked around for an existing league to join, by most of those have been found wanting as well, so I decided to create a new league from the ground up with a good friend of mine who is looking for the same things out of a league as well.
We've put a lot of research into other league by-laws and rules and are working to come up with the best ideas from several different leagues. I was also inspired by the concept of John Sickels's Shadow Twins, and have named the league after that: Shadow League Baseball (apologies to anyone else using that name).
Although we are still a few weeks from putting the finishing touches on the Rules, I can say that 90% of the 10+ page document address minor leagues, call-ups, free-agency, amateur draft, etc. After the initial stocking draft, almost all of the focus will be on building dynasties through trades, minor leagues, and amateur drafts. Our goal is to simulate MLB as close as we can.
I know this is an overly ambitious project, but we really want to create a league that will stand the test of time, one that I will still be playing in after retirement. So if you want to get on the ground floor and help guide us to where we want to go, please respond to the email listed below. I will be also posting this in a couple of other places where the hardcore fans tend to congregate.
I'd also take any advice, as we're pretty open to all ideas.
Here are the basics:
- Format: Rotisserie, Dynasty
- Players: Mixed AL/NL
- Teams: Up to 30, representing all MLB teams
- Scoring: 6x6 (basic + OSP and Holds)
- Rosters: 25 active, 15 minors
- Lineups: Daily
- Positions: C, 1B, 2B, 3B, SS, LF, CF, RF, DH, DH, SP, SP, P, P, P, RP, RP
- Fees: $50 annual + $1 per waiver wire addition
- Payouts: Top 6 get a percentage, with winner getting 50%
If you got this far, thanks for reading,

A couple weeks ago, Richard Stevens decided to create a free ebook of with a month's worth of his webcomic series, Diesel Sweeties, using iBooks Author. We reported on the experiment then, but Stevens recently disclosed just how big of a success it was: More than 10,000 downloads in three days of the iPad book.
Stevens has propelled that success into a Kickstarter campaign, where he will distribute his entire series to date for free in two forms: a PDF ebook and an iBook that will be more than 3,000 pages long. Stevens said he would be making the two versions simultaneously in iBooks Author and Adobe InDesign.
Looking to raise $3,000 initially, Stevens already has raised nearly $17,000 with less than 27 days remaining in his campaign. I figured it wouldn't take long to see iBooks Author help drive a project such as this to a success, but I am surprised to see that it's happened within a month of the program's release. It'll be great to see final ebook, and I hope that iBooks Author can manage a project size that big!

COLUMBIA, MD (AP) -- Police say three people are dead and five more are injured after a shooting at a Maryland mall.
Howard County Police tweeted the identities of two victims. According to their official Twitter, 21-year-old Brianna Benlolo of College Park, Maryland and 25-year-old Tyler Johnson of Ellicott City, Maryland died. They were both employees of Zumiez at the mall where the attack took place.
Howard County General Hospital tweeted that the five people who were injured have all been treated and released.
The gunman also died and has not been identified.
Five other people were injured, but none seriously. The motive of the shooting is still not known.
COLUMBIA, MD (AP) -- Police confirm that a shooting at a Maryland mall left three people dead. One of the deceased is suspected to have been the gunman and two other people are injured.
Police say they don't think there are any more victims, but they're still checking the Mall in Columbia to make sure.
Two people were taken to the hospital with minor injuries.
There's no word yet on a possible motive.
COLUMBIA, MD (AP) -- Police confirm that three people are dead after a shooting at a suburban Baltimore mall.

WILMINGTON, NC (WECT) - There will be several changes for City of Wilmington residents in the following weeks as the city prepares for pavement, trash pickup and downtown signs projects.
Here are a few details to pay attention to, in order to avoid traffic congestion and construction:
The city has purchased 20,000 large, wheeled recycling carts that will be delivered to customers Nov. 12- Dec.1.
The larger recycling containers are needed because the city will begin picking up recycling every other week starting Jan. 7, 2012, rather than every week. The carts were bought at $1.1 million, but they will save the city $220,000 a year-- so after 5 years, the city will make up for the cost and start saving hundreds of thousands each year.
Trash and yard waste will still be picked up weekly. The carts are free of charge to customers who participate in the city's voluntary recycling program and there is no change in pickup fees or pickup days.
The carts will be delivered just in time for the holidays when recycling is heaviest. Weekly recycling pick-up will continue until Jan. 7, 2013, when the new every-other-week schedule begins.
Parkway Drive will be closed beginning Tuesday through November 28th as implementation of the city's 5-year Improvement Plan continues. The street will receive a complete facelift, with the existing road foundation being excavated and replaced before being repaved.
Parkway Drive runs next to Hugh MacRae Park and is often used as a cut through from College Rd. to Oleander Dr.
Based on the success of a recently completed pilot program, the city will install pavement markings in the first block of South Front Street beginning Tuesday, Nov. 13, weather permitting. To minimize disruptions, the work will be done over several days from 7-10 a.m. each day.
In September, the city installed pavement markings indicating "Taxi Only After Midnight" to parking spaces in the 100 block of North Front Street (between Market and Princess Streets). The goal of the project was to keep drivers from parking in designated parking spaces that are reserved for taxis after midnight when they are most needed as bars close.

Green Tea Intervention for Weight Gain Prevention among Women with Breast Cancer
Scientific Abstract:
Green Tea Intervention for Weight Gain Prevention among Women with Breast Cancer Background. Obesity has been positively associated with an increased risk of recurrence and a higher hazard of death in breast cancer survivors. Weight gains of 2-6 kilograms have been associated with chemotherapy for breast cancer and weight control counseling, although somewhat effective, has not achieved the weight stabilization desired and can be overly burdensome for some women. Objectives/Hypothesis. We hypothesize that a simplified diet intervention, using green tea, can significantly prevent weight gain during chemotherapy. Further we intend to answer the following research questions: i. Can a green tea intervention during and after chemotherapy prevent weight gain? ii. Can regular, daily intake of green tea improve glucose-insulin regulation resulting in lower circulating levels of insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1) and increase in insulin growth factor binding protein-3 (IGFBP-3)? iii. Can the green tea intervention we are implementing improve quality of life and cognitive function among women undergoing chemotherapy for Stage I or II breast cancer? Specific Aims: i. Determine if intake of 4 cups of defined green tea beverage daily for twelve months will prevent weight gain and increase metabolic rate during and post chemotherapy. ii. Determine if intake of 4 cups defined green tea beverage daily for twelve months will reduce circulating levels of IGF-I and increase IGFBP-3. iii. Determine if intake of 4 cups of defined green tea beverage daily for 12 months will improve quality of life and/or cognitive function. Study Design. We propose a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled green tea intervention trial among women who are undergoing chemotherapy for Stage I or II breast cancer. Seventy pre and postmenopausal women will be randomly assigned to consume 4 cups/day of green tea or placebo tea for 12 months. Endpoints include: i. Body weight, BMI, percent body fat, lean body mass, waist:hip ratio, ii. Energy balance as measured by resting metabolic rate, and self-reported physical activity and dietary intake measurement, iii. Biomarkers associated with breast cancer progression: IGF-1 and IGFBP–3, iv. Patient-reported quality of life and cognitive function including SF 36 and FACT-G. Potential Outcomes and Benefits. Prevention of weight gain has the potential to significantly improve health status, quality of life and long-term disease-free survival among women receiving chemotherapy for breast cancer. A high green tea intervention is a safe and easily adopted strategy for achieving energy balance and subsequent weight control among breast cancer patients. Moreover, green tea has the potential to improve glucose-insulin hemostasis, quality of life and cognitive function.
Lay Abstract:
Green Tea Intervention for Weight Gain Prevention among Women with Breast Cancer Breast cancer patients requiring chemotherapy to treat their tumors frequently gain weight during therapy. The weight gained is of particular concern because it has generally been shown to be related to an increase in body fat and a loss of lean or muscle mass which in turn may increase risk of breast cancer recurrence. Efforts to control weight gain during chemotherapy have generally focused on low fat or energy-restricted diets with or without additional counseling to increase physical activity. These approaches have had minimal success and many breast cancer patients find these approaches to weight control demanding physically, emotionally and mentally at the time when coping skills are already being challenged. We are proposing a novel approach to weight maintenance during and after chemotherapy. Seventy women with Stage I or II breast cancer who will receive chemotherapy as part of their treatment plan will be randomly assigned to four cups/day of either green tea or placebo tea for 12 months to determine if a green tea intervention will prevent weight gain during and six months after chemotherapy. Previous studies suggest that green tea can increase resting metabolic rate and potentially reduce food intake and thus may be an effective and practical approach to weight control when consumed as part of a well balanced diet. Women will be assessed for changes in body weight, body composition, quality of life and cognitive function. In addition, blood levels of certain markers of glucose-insulin balance will be measured in an effort to determine one important mechanism by which green tea could protect against breast cancer recurrence. Women will receive information related to body composition at the end of the study. Both pre and postmenopausal women will be eligible to participate in this study. Prevention of weight gain during and after chemotherapy has the potential to significantly improve health status, quality of life and long-term disease-free survival among women receiving chemotherapy for breast cancer. Tea is a promising agent because regular tea consumption is likely to be easily adopted by breast cancer patients wishing to change their lifestyle to reduce disease recurrence and improve overall health.

For the first time in a long time, the Titans finally performed decently. It wasn't a blow out but I always like to compare how our team does to how other teams have done against that same opponent (the Colts this time).
Kerry Collins had 72% completion percentage, 244 yards, 6.3 YPA, 3 TD, 0 INT, 113.6 rating.
Prior to this game, Colts pass defense averaged 66% completion percentage, 203 yards, 6.7 YPA, 1.4 TD, 0.75 INT, 89.8 rating per game.
If you remove the end of half and end of game drives by Kerry when the Colts were playing prevent, Kerry Collins had 71% completion percentage, 121 yards, 5.8 YPA, 2 TD, 0 INT, 117 rating.
So, Kerry played well...the only knock on Kerry's performance was that he didn't get the ball down the field (6.3 YPA overall vs Colts 6.7 YPA). But, he was highly efficient.
Chris Johnson had 22 rushes, 111 yards, 5.0 yards per carry, 1 TD.
Prior to this game, Colts run defense averaged 141 yards per game, 4.8 yards per carry, 1.2 TDs per game.
So, Chris Johnson played about as expected, which is a lot better than the last two games when he only got 20 total carries and almost no yards in both games combined.
Titans pass defense gave up 71% completion percentage, 319 yards, 9.1 YPA, 2 TD, 0 INT, 118 rating.
Prior to this game, Colts pass offense averaged 66% completion percentage, 7.1 YPA, 2.2 TD, 1.25 INT, 91.2 rating.
So, Titans pass defense was pretty bad giving up 5% completion percentage more, 2 YPA more, and not getting a single interception.
Titans run defense gave up 32 carries, 87 yards, 2.7 yards per carry, 1 TD.
Prior to this game, Colts rush offense averaged 79.7 yards per game, 3.4 yards per carry, 1 TD per game.
So, Titans run defense played about as expected. They did give up 0.7 yards per carry less but overall more yards (3rd down defense!!!).
Overall, the Titans played about as one would expect...the pass offense was efficient but not explosive, the run offense played as expected, the pass defense was the weakest link, and the run defense played as expected. Of course, this is light years better than the last two weeks...but still not good enough.

As emergency health care professionals, we have an obligation to educate the public on healthy and safe lifestyles. In the emergency departments of this country, much of the trauma that is seen is preventable. This fact causes a great deal of frustration for emergency healthcare professionals because it is often impossible to repair the broken bodies and shattered lives that result from trauma. The mission of Emergency Nurses CARE is to reduce preventable injuries and deaths by educating the public in order to raise awareness and promote healthy lifestyles. EN CARE Programs include: Alcohol Awareness, Bike and Helmet Safety, Child Passenger Safety, Domestic Violence Prevention, Fall Prevention, and Gun Safety. (Excerpts taken from Emergency Nurses CARE Fact Sheets 04/2002.)

Okay, listen. We were totally ready to write this off as "G.I. Joe: Rise Of The Cobra" was a complete pile of shit. But goddamn it, enough of this trailer for the sequel "G.I. Joe: Retaliation" works that we're curious, with a very faint glimmer of optimism thrown in.
But let's get a few things out of the way. That electro/BRAAAM remix of the White Stripes tune is kind of the worst thing ever, and the basic plot looks like the writers just grabbed whatever was leftover from the "Mission: Impossible -- Ghost Protocol" and "The A-Team" script and patched it together. But then, Cobra unveils their banners on the White House followed by dudes fucking sword-fighting on the side of a mountain. Granted, it looks
totally ripped off inspired by Tsui Hark's "Time & Tide" but the twelve year old in us thought that was fucking cool. And the character intro for Bruce Willis as General Joe Colton was pretty sweet too. Yes, we know -- this writer can't even believe he's writing this either.
But that said, Channing Tatum and Dwayne Johnson are already totally forgettable and we don't even know what this movie is about. SWORD FIGHTING ON MOUNTAINS. Okay, the end. Watch below; this thing opens on June 29, 2012.

padre | December 13, 2011 9:47 AM
YES! Every second The Rock is on screen is pure awesomeness and once again Bruce Willis killed it in his cool older dude role! OMG. Better than I could have ever dared hope for! And that almost Wonder Woman girl was hot and cool. But the icing on the cake is that this trailer seems to imply that mouth-breathing Tatum dies early in the film!!! OMG COULD THIS BE TRUE?!?! Tears of joy. This trailer is everything I could have hoped for and more!!!

Who thought that the sequel of Rise of Cobra would look better than its predecessor? From the director of the Justin Bieber documentary? Reality is stranger than fiction.
Cobraverde | December 13, 2011 5:06 AM
This looks so cheap compared to the first one - which, despite loathing Stephen Sommer's aesthetics , I actually got a kick out of. And that Bruce Willis bit shoe-horned in at the end I suspect is how his presence in this movie will feel.
shark | December 13, 2011 3:52 AM
Dwayne Johnson...forgettable? What the heck? He's huge and badass and yet utterly charming and charismatic.
Cde. | December 13, 2011 1:10 AM
Looks like this has (gasp!) actually well directed action! In 2011! Who would have thought?
wray | December 12, 2011 9:45 PM
I don't think it's humanly possible to resist sword fighting on a mountain! I tried and I couldn't do it. I hope that's what the whole movie is.
bunty | December 12, 2011 8:37 PM
Well, it looks better than the first. Has Channing Tatum essentially been ousted as the lead from his own franchise? Disappears after the first bit, and Rock takes over. That has to smart.
Looks almost a reboot with the different cast and all that.

Bishop Mark Davies of Middleton on Advent—Waiting in Joyful Hope
All of us know what it is to wait: we wait for our football team to achieve the success we know they're capable of; for the birth of a longed for child; for a much anticipated wedding day. We know what it's like to wait with anxiety as well: results of medical tests; news of a job; our family finances. We are used to waiting.
Waiting for Christmas is also part of our faith journey. Advent points to two great truths. First it reminds us that we are waiting for the return of Jesus in glory at the end of time when He will come to gather up all things.

Yesterday, TWICE reported that Samsung, Sony, and LG will partner with Best Buy on a 13-week consumer awareness campaign to increase interest in UHDTV and ultimately drive sales of 4K TVs.
The campaign starts tomorrow and is named "Believing Begins Here." The Consumer Electronics Association had a part in developing the campaign, which will feature in-store demonstrations of UHDTV at 50 Best Buy locations in 11 major markets, including Atlanta, Boston, Chicago, Dallas, Houston, Los Angeles, Miami, Minneapolis, New York, Philadelphia and Washington D.C.
The timing of this campaign is no coincidence. National Football League pre-season games have already started, and the first NCAA college football games are scheduled for August 28. And as we all know, nothing sells big-screen TVs like football!
The demonstrations will take place between 11 ..Read more
I may have been wrong. Here's some history.
Some years ago Qualcomm purchased an MIT display spinout called Iridigm and renamed the technology mirasol (with a small "m"). At a time before Apple created the consumer tablet revolution, the standard for non-PC media consumption was the eReader, and the standard for low-power reflective displays was (and still is) E Ink's electrophoretic display technology.
But as good as E Ink was for reading black-and-white text, it had obvious limitations that encouraged several companies to develop competing technologies. The limitations were that, at the time, E Ink was limited to black and white and refresh time was too slow for video or even smooth animation. Iridigm had developed a remarkably elegant reflective technology that promised to overcome E Ink's limitations, and Qualcomm invested huge amounts of money developing it.
The Iridigm technology used optical interference to create color, with the interference changes created by MEMS-act..Read more

The Syracuse men's basketball team held practice Monday morning at Oglethorpe University.
Coach Jim Boeheim invited the family of Tripp Halstead to come watch the team.
Tripp suffered a brain injury last October when a tree branch fell on him outside his Winder daycare.
Bill Halstead grew up in the Syracuse area and is a lifelong fan of the Orange and their legendary coach.
When CBS Atlanta News told Boeheim about the family's journey, he invited them to the practice to offer some encouragement.
"Just for him to ask me how Tripp was doing that was real nice," said Bill Halstead.
The toddler suffered a major setback earlier this week and was rushed back to the hospital Monday, just days after he was released.
The parents told CBS Atlanta News Tripp will likely need to have his gallbladder removed this week.
"If it helps him, you know, we're looking forward to it. We hate that he has to have another surgery. The reality is it should help him," said Bill Halstead.
CBS Atlanta News talked to Halstead at the practice. He said he was excited about being there.
"It's just real cool to watch the skill level of these guys," said Bill Halstead.
Boeheim is known for his work with children battling health issues through the university and through his own foundation, the Juli and Jim Boeheim Foundation.
"It's great. It's a good feeling to help Tripp's father here," said Boeheim."I can't even imagine what it's like to go through where some freak accident out of the blue gets your son."
Stacy Halstead did not attend. She stayed by Tripp's side at the hospital.
"It was just nice for him to take an interest in us and ant to provide us with a few minutes away from the hospital, a few minutes of normalcy," said Bill Halstead.
The Final Four experience will continue for the Halsteads.
The local charity that's spearheading the renovation of the family's home, Sunshine on a Ranney Day, gave them tickets for one of the games.

Horniman Museum beats off jerk chicken complaints
10:28am Friday 27th April 2012 in Where I Live By Mark Chandler, deputy news editor
A MUSEUM has been granted an extension to its licence but must compromise after scores of people objected to the plans.
As News Shopper reported this week, Forest Hill's Horniman Museum wanted to hold events with a maximum capacity of 15,000 and sell alcohol up to 11.30pm.
The plans provoked indignation from people living nearby, with memories of a jerk chicken festival in 2009 when 20,000 people turned up still fresh in their minds.
Last week, the museum's plans were approved by a Lewisham Council licensing committee, but with amendments.
Alterations to the museum's plans included having a maximum capacity of 10,000, with the number of large events held limited to 10 per year and closing time by 9pm.

Customer loyalty is one thing, but this is the kind of repeat business a retail establishment doesn't need.
State police at Fogelsville said three people -- a man and woman in their 20s or 30s -- plus a 54-year-old man listed as being from Allentown placed some items worth $169.69 in reusable shopping bags between 2:11 and 2:30 p.m. Dec. 21. They left the 7150 Hamilton Blvd. store without paying.
The next day, between 5:30 and 5:50, the two men returned to the store, police said. One hid items in his coat and left without paying. This time the value was unknown.
Police said the two drove away in a 1990s GMC Jimmy.

Take to the Streets
Work began this week to renovate the western gateway into downtown Spartanburg. Plans to narrow West Main Street, add bike lanes, improve sidewalks and add street trees will be complete by early October. The intent of the project is to not only beautify an entrance to our city, but also to create a safer environment for all travelers: pedestrians, cylists and drivers. This "road diet" will take West Main Street down to two lanes, add parking on either side of the street, and thus slow traffic. The area has seen an incredible increase in pedestrian activity since the opening of three businesses in the past 2 years: the RJ Rockers Brewery, Main Street Pub, and Cribbs Kitchen.
Thanks to the work of our grantee, Partners for Active Living, Spartanburg City and County both have a Complete Streets Policy. What does this mean? Well, according to the National Complete Streets Coalition website:
"The streets of our cities and towns are an important part of the livability of our communities. They ought to be for everyone, whether young or old, motorist or bicyclist, walker or wheelchair user, bus rider or shopkeeper. But too many of our streets are designed only for speeding cars, or worse, creeping traffic jams.
Now, in communities across the country, a movement is growing to complete the streets. States, cities and towns are asking their planners and engineers to build road networks that are safer, more livable, and welcoming to everyone. Instituting a Complete Streets policy ensures that transportation planners and engineers consistently design and operate the entire roadway with all users in mind – including bicyclists, public transportation vehicles and riders, and pedestrians of all ages and abilities."
With nearly 20% of the population in the city of Spartanburg having no access to a car, creating streets that are complete and accessible to all is important not only for aesthetics, but also for equity. The transformation of West Main from a four lane highway into a pedestrian-scaled, bike-friendly road will benefit residents, visitors and businesses in downtown Spartanburg. If anyone would like to argue with that, just take a look at our sister city to the south with her bustling green-lined, sidewalked thoroughfare.

1) FWIW, my opinion is to have the commish control it. But can there be more than one commish in the Yahoo game (like 2 or 3)? That might help sway my opinion. If only one commish, then I agree, keep the responsibility on the GM's.
2) But regarding the 2 day waiver issue, don't we have to keep a player on IA or IL for a certain period of time? Otherwise we could add and drop our respective owned players every other day, no? Maybe I need to reread the rules on that topic, but I would think we want to avoid that.

Torfaen refutes Newport claims in laptop row (From Free Press Series)

Torfaen refutes Newport claims in laptop row
11:40am Wednesday 14th November 2012 in News By David Deans - Politics reporter
A ROW between two local authorities over 2,400 laptops stuck in storage deepened further yesterday when a council claimed Newport had carried on taking part in a schools IT scheme after they were bought.
Newport council has said that it was surprised when Torfaen bought 8,642 laptops back in March 2011 and has said it never formally committed to the project.
But e-mails, shown to the Argus by Torfaen council, appear to show a Newport council IT officer telling an opposite number at Torfaen that the authority was looking forward to receiving the units.
The iLearnWales scheme was originally intended for three local authorities to participate, with councils providing their contributions on top of a Welsh Government grant of £9 million.
While 6,218 laptops were deployed in Torfaen and Monmouthshire schools, another 2,424 laptops were earmarked for a third local authority.
The officer, whom the Argus has agreed not to name, wrote in May 2011: "Follow a meet this morning... we are keen to receive laptops and connect wireless asap (sic)."
Another e-mail, sent in May 2011 from another Newport council IT officer about match funding for the scheme, said "we are fully aware of our obligations".
Minutes also show that former cabinet member and Newport councillor David Atwell attending a programme board meeting for iLearnWales on June 29, 2011.
They show that a Welsh Government representative asked if there were any difficulties for the three councils over the match funding required.
"No difficulties were reported," the minutes read.
Torfaen council has claimed that the programme to deliver iLearnWales started in March 2010 with agreement from leaders, chief executives and directors of Monmouthshire, Torfaen and Newport councils.
A spokesman said that between March 2010 and June 2011 the programme was developed with Newport council, and that the council was aware the laptops were purchased in March of that year. It said that in June 2011 a corporate director from Newport had said Newport was fully committed to the scheme and would find the money.
A Newport council spokeswoman yesterday reiterated that the authority had no involvement in the procurement of the iLearnWales laptops by Torfaen council.
The authority said when information on the required financial commitment from Newport was revealed the council decided the business case was not sustainable and it withdrewfrom discussions in June 2011.

This is just another example of the incompetence of council staff wasting money.
Torfaen more than any other Welsh local authority should be appearing as transparent and upfront as possible with the on going investigation into their head of ICT who is still currently suspended on full pay, a year on from other problems and who has already been implicated in this "missing laptops" story by other Councillors and press reports.
It's high time the Welsh Assembly woke up and sorted out local authorities in Wales - bleeding public purses dry.

Settling this is easy,Torfaen produce the written evidence of confirmation that Newport agreed to the purchase of the laptops AND agreed to be a part of the scheme, not just a part of the bid process. Then the Assembly can deal with them for misleading and breaching contracts to gain match funding. This is just another example of the incompetence of council staff wasting money.

rfaen buy them.
Torfaen should be able to produce the approvelby Newport Council to buy this Laptops so all Torfaen council need to do is to produce the signed approval.
Standbye though for some more waffle from them along the lines of we believe that they had verbally agreed to this.
Who places substantiall orders without approval. That level of spend would normaly in a private company need at least 3 levels of approval

I work for an IT company that supplies software solutions to local government and I know from first hand experience how incompetent they can be.
I never do anything without written approval in advance, a signed contract and a purchase order number. Basic project management!!!
Reading this article, it smacks of "he said this, she said that". It seems to be that there are major failings on both sides in this affair.
What a sorry way to run things!!

I would also be interested to know why there was such a hurry to buy these laptops when according to an FOI request in May this year 75% of them were still on the shelf.
And while you're about it I think the audit office should be all over TCBC like a cheap suit and looking at all of the other procurement exercises and 'projects' that aforementioned individuals have been involved in. I very much doubt that this is the only instance where large amounts of your money and mine has been wasted to no effect. I'm sure there is enough in TCBC to keep the audit office busy without interfering with any ongoing criminal trial. That can come later.

National Fitness Center in Clarksville abruptly closed and clients said they can't get an answer about their memberships or their money.
"Come in Monday night all the cash registers, the scanner, the drinks were all gone," former member Ross Milliken said.
In hindsight Milliken said he should have seen it coming. Instead he was blindsided Tuesday when he came to National Fitness Center in Clarksville to work out as he'd done for the past two years, only to find locked doors and a sign indicating the gym was closing because of a lease dispute.
"I started calling corporate then and no one would give me any answers," Milliken said.
"This is my first time finding out anything about it," said Mark Robinson, who was also caught off guard.
Robinson said he had to see for himself Friday night after a friend told him his gym was closed.
"I'm a bit perturbed and I guess they had some problems I was unaware of," Robinson said.
In fact, National Fitness, which has several locations in Knoxville and Chattanooga, has been plagued with problems. Although it's not accredited the Better Business Bureau rated it an "F." The Clarksville facility has received 38 complaints in the last three years, mainly for problems with its services and billing.
Friday night we caught crews from local competitor, Clarksville Athletic Club, clearing out the gym.
"On Wednesday morning our owner received a phone call asking if we wanted to purchase the equipment," Brad Butler of Clarksville Athletic Club explained.
Customers who had their dues drafted out of their account every month should see those drafts canceled. But those who paid in advance may not get their money back.
Channel 4 called National Fitness Center's corporate office but couldn't get through to anyone. We also called one of their Knoxville facilities and were told someone would call us back. They never did.
