Gas prices decrease
AAA Tuesday April 30, 2013

The average per-gallon price of regular unleaded gasoline in Tennessee was $3.26 as of Sunday, a decrease of two cents compared to the price from last week. That's according to AAA. This marks the ninth straight week the state has seen the average price drop. As of Sunday, the national average price was $3.50, a two-cent per gallon decrease. After oil prices spiked briefly, they quickly deflated after the U.S.Commerce Department said the Gross Domestic Product grew less than expected during the first quarter of the year. A Triple-A spokesperson said the market is expected to be volatile this week, so its likely motorists will see little movement in pump prices this week.

Jay Walker Monday April 29, 2013

A British man has pleaded guilty for posting a Facebook threat that prompted more than 2,900 students to be absent from school. 24 year old Reece Elliot was charged in February with making malicious comments. In his Facebook post, he threatened to kill 200 people. It is believe his threat was aimed at students at Warren County High School. The threat was made on a memorial page set up for a Warren County student who died last October. The threat prompted extra security at all schools in Warren County the following two days. Elliot pleaded guilty Friday at Newcastle Crown Court. He will be sentenced at a later date. Prosecutors said Elliot was trying to see what reaction his posts would provoke
