...according to AnnArbor.com president and CEO Matt Kraner. Rather than looking like a news-media website, AnnArbor.com deliberately reads more like a social-media site, with equal weight given to reports on a new diner and the proposed city income tax. Ads - known as "deals" - are incorporated into the feed, and users can vote for their favorite, with the highest vote getter scoring a place on the cover of the Sunday hard-copy edition.

...only bad news for the birds. Countries where vultures are most threatened, such as Nepal, India and Pakistan, rely heavily on vultures for a kind of natural maid service: as they clear out dead animals, the risk of disease is also reduced.

There was only one problem: in his enthusiasm, Barber had somehow missed the importance of letting the birds forage for their own food. Accustomed to a steady supply of grain, Stone Barns' trial geese had no need to gorge themselves once the weather turned...
...time from cell-phone towers. But there's no guarantee the time servers sync up between different providers. Smart devices receive time information in a number of different ways. For a BlackBerry, the time is synched with the data network when activated, but it receives a second time feed when it's connected to a computer - so if the computer's time is off, the BlackBerry's clock gets distorted...
