Think the Seattle Times had (or has) a similar policy on the use of Redskins. At least last year when the Redskins, er, Washington played the Seahawks they did.

Those who were hired from the paper took significant pay cuts, if I remember correctly, and the entire venture has gone so well that, in addition to the best writers and editors jumping ship, there were 14 layoffs last year. Makes this 2009 proclamation from Tony Dearing, the exec running the...

Check out Kerry Park on top of Queen Anne hill for a knockout view of the city. Can't beat it on a nice day. Hard to go wrong with coffee in Seattle (unless it's Starbucks), but my favorite, Caffe Fiore, is a five-minute walk from Kerry Park on West Galer Street. Ferry rides between Seattle...

Third this. Completely on-target.

Re: Multiple dead at Fort Hood after shooting ABC News named one shooter as Major Malik Nadal Hasan, with two other suspects in custody. http://abcnews.go.com/WN/soldiers-killed-fort-hood-shooting/story?id=9007938 What an awful, awful situation.

Re: Uh-oh! Cental Michigan, or some other smaller football program, in trouble Speaking of credibility, here's more fun stuff on the RichRod lawsuit from AnnArbor.com: http://www.annarbor.com/sports/rich-rodriguezs-business-partner-investigated-by-clemson-for-recruiting-violations/

I found this comment from Tony Dearing - who is running the operation - quite interesting (via PaperTigerNoMore.blogspot.com): "The one thing I guarantee you, when this thing launches, and people look at it, they're not going to say, "Oh, it's just another newspaper website." I can assure you...

As others have said, an LCD is the way to go. Recently picked up a 42-inch Vizio at Costco after a lot of research and have been very impressed. Vizio seems to be the best bang for your buck. Just make sure the television and its huge box can fit in your car. I didn't. That was an awkward...

According to the Leinie site, it's now distributed in every state but Oklahoma, Alaska and Hawaii. http://www.leinie.com/find_leinies.html

A friend pointed out the logo's striking resemblance to a buckeye nut. That will go over well with the football crazies.

So, with much fanfare, the new AnnArbor.com has unveiled its logo: An acorn that is designed by a New York firm and looks like a bad piece of clip art. This is the future of journalism? Yikes...
