First, before I explain this thread full credit for it goes to Tyler, as he originally came up with this idea. Unfortunatley Matt's new rule caused his thread to be closed over there.   

That said, this thread is for posting news stories. Like Tyler, I am a bit of a news junky, and this idea really turns me on. Everybody is welcome to participate. You can post news stories from your own local area, or stories on a national/world level. Whatever is important to you. Discussion of stories posted is also welcome.
