The Insider
George Eliot signed up for membership, and Dickens used the library to research A Tale of Two Cities. The handsome house in the corner of St James's Square, which now has 8,000 members and one million books, has for the past 160 years been the best 'place on the civilised earth', but it no longer caters for those who are 'not rich'. Carlyle's insistence that readers pay only a 'small annual sum' has seemingly been forgotten, and the annual fee is to rise by nearly 80 per cent to £375. Will readers begrudge the cost? For those, like me, who go there a dozen times a year, paying over a pound a day for the privilege may seem a little steep; for the many others who use the library as an office, a sitting-room, or a venue for dangerous liaisons, it is cheap at the price. There is, simply, nothing else like it.
JEALOUS: S.D. boy floats down Mississippi on raft of trash
While you were making keyboard hanky panky sitting in your cube, Thor Anderson and a handful of other idea-laden 20-somethings built a raft out of things not intended to build rafts with. Like garbage. Then they actually put the thing in the Missouri River right where it intercepts Kansas City, Mo., with the crazy idea of reaching the Gulf of Mexico via the Mississippi. Last we heard they were floating somewhere past Memphis. Thor, who plays guitar in local band Monsters From Mars, recently disembarked and was kind enough to answer a few questions over MySpace (thanks, Tom!). This may be the longest blog post in the world, but with run-ins with the law, Homeland Security, sandstorms, heatwaves, scary monster barges, scary monster captains, scary dirty water, whirlpools, casino boats, flooded campsites, bug bites that turned into holes and raft-made soy yogurt, we like to think of it as a real page scroller.

Amesbury will benefit from Tesco superstore
WE welcome the interest in our proposed Tesco food store, planned to be built on the partially derelict site of the former Gregory's Transport Depot and adjoining commercial land, in London Road, Amesbury. We have consulted widely with residents - in particular those who live next to the site - and believe the plans will give the people of Amesbury what they want. That is: a new modern food store close to Amesbury town centre which offers additional choice, value and convenience. .
OSGOOD AND LEGACE: Teammates again on All-Star team
We had a lot of good times in Detroit, had a lot of memories. It's good to see him here. There are guys that have worked really hard in their careers that finally get recognized, like Tim Thomas and Manny, certain guys that are appreciated by the players but never really got recognized. It's great to see them here." That Legace had his picture taken for promotion Saturday while seated on a throne chair shows how far he has come since leaving Detroit under the shadow of being in goal as the team was ousted in the first round of the 2006 playoffs. His mental toughness was questioned, and the Wings told him they wouldn't bring him back. After talking to a few teams, Legace found an ideal situation in St. Louis, because there he'd have a shot at starting. But he had to adapt to a very different atmosphere.
