  17. Asheville lost 12 jobs today, not 9. The Asheville Citizen-Times is not worth reading anymore - basically just a mock-up of an actual newspaper.

  20. Lafayette In Journal and Courier hasn't heard of any layoffs as of yet. However, I have heard talk of "lists" for possible riffs. Also, there has been talk of changing the lobby hours to 8:30-4:30 and possible 5% pay cuts. Anyone know of anything going on in Lafayette?
