Everything from detergent to computer discs is packaged with the Sunday newspaper. So why not Bibles? A Christian ministry wants to deliver custom-designed New Testaments to newspaper subscribers around the country as part of an effort to find innovative ways to spread a Christian message. But even in the Bible Belt, not everyone thinks that’s a good idea.

International Bible Society-Send the Light is planning on spending hundreds of thousands of dollars to distribute Bibles with 11 newspapers during 2007 and 2008. New Testaments would be packaged in pouches on the outside of newspapers, much like soap or other sample products.

The Fort Worth Star-Telegram announced in May it would deliver more than 200,000 New Testaments the last Sunday of the year. David House, the newspaper’s reader advocate, said he received about 70 e-mails split between backers and those opposed to packaging the scriptures with newspapers.

Any 20 or 30 something man worth his salt no doubt knows who the best video game athletes of all time are. We’ve all told and been told tales of running around and through people with Tecmo Bowl Bo Jackson or get knocked unconscious by Mike Tyson in Super Punchout. In telling these fables, we sometimes tend to ignore some of the true greats in the world of video game athletics. Every team needs its role players right?

We’ve decided to bypass the icons and focus on the lesser known video game legends. These are the guys who fly under the radar, but have had equally distinguished cyber careers.

SPRINGVILLE, Utah (AP) — The cemetery headstone for a teenager who died in a car wreck was repossessed after a $750 bill went unpaid.

“That’s just business,” said Linda Anderson of Memorial Art Monument. “If we give every stone to everybody, we’d be out of business. They’d repossess your car if you didn’t make payments.”

Brady Conger, 17, and two friends died when their car smashed into a sport utility vehicle a year ago Thursday.

Memorial Art said bills sent to one address were returned, and the business couldn’t reach Brady’s mother, who apparently had agreed last year to pay the balance. “The end result was that there was absolutely no one who I could talk to about this,” owner Mike Anderson said.

Brady’s classmates raised money to pay the bill, and the headstone will be installed again this week.
