| Signed Rangers Top Auction for Greyhound Rescue Charity
Greyhound Rescue Scotland was formed in 2001 and since that date the charity has been run by unpaid volunteers. They are therefore reliant on public donations to allow them to continue helping wonderful animals who deserve a better life.
As part of their fundraising they are auctioning a Rangers top from 2002/03 signed by the Rangers team that season. There is a link to the Ebay auction here.
Please take a look at their website where you can find all the necessary details if you would be interested in donating or helping out by adopting a dog or fostering one. .
Gaming for profit: the story of over 4000 Diablo 2 keys
I read the story on digg: someone accumulated over 4,000 Diablo 2 keys and is now selling them for $5 a throw. That price includes a key for Diablo 2 and Lord of Destruction. $5 is not a bad price for games that regularly still go for more at brick-and-mortar stores. Small sales add up though: if he sells them all he stands to make at least $20,000. I caught up with the man who runs this business endeavor, Frank Lau, and of course I had a few questions. His first e-mail was intriguing. "... it all started when I had a small shop and was spamming Diablo 2 (at the time it really worked, in 2003). I had hundreds and hundreds of keys muted and banned (note: I don't sell those). Then I started mass buying them in hoping to spam and spam and spam... And then I got even more.

Bus company upset by bids
An Illinois company is likely to win many of the 29 contractor-operated bus routes being bid this spring by the Greater Clark County Schools, leaving longtime local operators concerned about the bidding process. "I think it's tainted," Don Tetley, a partner in K and T Inc., said after his Clarksville-based company apparently lost its five routes in the Jeffersonville area to Illinois Central School Bus Services. .
