Verizon expands 4G LTE coverage, adds 9 cities (Yahoo! News)

Verizon announced today that it has enabled access to its 4G LTE network in 9 new metropolitan areas, as well as expanding its existing coverage in Chicago and Philadelphia. This expansion brings Verizon up to 55 markets, and is a nice step towards its larger goal of rolling out LTE coverage to 145 markets by the end of 2011.

The 9 lucky areas are:

Mobile, AlabamaMontgomery, AlabamaGreater Fairfield and New Haven, ConnecticutGainesville, FloridaPensacola, FloridaTallahassee, FloridaFayetteville-Lumberton, North CarolinaBryan-College Station, TexasTemple-Killeen, Texas

Verizon's LTE network, originally rolled out in December of 2010, has had a few bumps along the way. But, with an ever-growing list of LTE-capable devices and super-fast speeds, we remain optimistic. If you happen to live in one of these new coverage areas, be sure to let us know what you think!

Search for missing woman expands as police look for serial killer

STORY HIGHLIGHTSPolice say the search for a missing woman will expand MondayInvestigators are embroiled in a manhunt for a potential serial killerThree bodies found last week were uncovered within a few miles of each otherA woman's body was also found March 29 west of Cedar Beach New York (CNN) -- Police say the search for a missing woman, which led investigators to the closely grouped remains of eight bodies in Long Island, New York, will expand Monday.

Investigators -- now embroiled in a manhunt for a potential serial killer -- are expected to spread out along the Nassau County line, working westward from Jones Beach in their search for Shannan Gilbert, who has been missing since May.

"We will be looking for human remains and any possible evidence," said Nassau Police spokesman Kevin Smith.

On Thursday, investigators said they were nearly finished with at least one part of the search effort in the Oak Beach area, where four female bodies were found stuffed in bushes along a quarter mile strip of beachfront property in December.

"Our search for (Gilbert) will continue, even though this component of the search is nearly over," Suffolk County Police Commissioner Richard Dormer told reporters.
