The Perfect Mark

From the Editor

During a recent meeting of the minds at Jog Central it was agreed by all that the daily News Jog presentation had become a bit predictable and unexciting. Therefore we’ve decided to retool the way we deliver the news and will unveil that new style on 11/19/07. That’s next Monday for those of you who don’t have a calendar nearby.

Please excuse...

No Jog today.
Please excuse our dust as we build a bigger, better News Jog to be unleashed soon.
