A1 nyt syndicated article on Wen Jiabao, prime minister of china, saying he’s concerned about the $1t invested in US debt. the article goes in a few directions such as china’s declining trade surplus and risk of missing bao ba (“protect the 8” or guaranteed 8% gdp growth). it never addresses the significance of Wen speaking out about concerns over the US as a...

luckovich really annoys me today. i worked downtown nyc on 9/11. a lot of people were deeply affected by events of that day. why does he draw an image of one of the most horrible memories? of course that’s not what he means, but if he can’t see the correlation, he shouldn’t be in journalism.
but what does he mean? what is the implication of the cartoon? that the...

front page: 3 of 4 stories are ‘as the result of’ the economy.
A2 is sporting an AP story on where the jobs are. wonder if that is business coverage for today.
ah, there’s business. A6. three pages of business. original content with some national stories.
luckovich has never made me laugh, never made me think; he has only annoyed me. today is no different.

new look to A2. lead business article, very light, about markets, from AP.
A3 all syndicated. Metro all original.
They cut business page, said there’d be more stuff in A, but only put ONE business article, and it was a light 200 word piece about the markets. wow. unbelievable. ABC has got to be loving it.

good piece by steve hummer - on cover of sports page. offers some entertaining words then displays data. data confirms the words. it works.

10 years ago Qpass had it right… in speed rush to golden exit, an utter lack of patience
If only Qpass Digital Commerce Service had roughed...
In the dot com heyday, a company called Qpass operated a fantastic business called the Digital Commerce Service. It was, in essence, an outsourced, cloud-based commerce engine that enabled micropayments. It made it easy for online merchants to sell digital content, and for consumers to enjoy friction-free online purchases.
