I saw that vuvuzela.... that sound, it is probably 2nd only in terms of rage-inducing to the sound of nails on a chalkboard.

US may soon become world's top oil producer

It's a shame that most of our oil is shipped elsewhere because most of our refineries are set up to process Saudi oil instead of our own.

Bank of American downtown branch to close

What I'm more interested in is if they are closing the drive-thru teller location too? Because when they closed the BoA location at the corner of N. Slappey and Dawson, they kept the drive-thru teller location open.

Downtown post office gets reprieve

"The post office has got to somehow improve attitudes of staff, services etc."

I'm not really sure why you would say that. I go to the Downtown Post Office pretty often, and the staff there have always been polite and helpful with me. That's one of the reasons I like going to that location.

Heritage only Albany-based company on list of Top 100

If this is the case then why not do something about there being Heritage Bank of the South, and The Heritage Bank. They are two separate banks with nearly the same name and both cover parts of South Georgia. I dunno, if I were in their position, I'd be worried about brand recognition.

Lance Armstrong loses Tour de France titles, banned from cycling (UPDATED)

Seems the USADA is going to ignore their own rules and pursue this several years after the 8 year limit (their own rules and guidelines have an 8 year limit for pursuing these things) has passed. This looks like little more than a power trip from the USADA.
