| Redesign, day 2
The syndicate that provided the feature to us, decided rather abruptly a week or so ago to stop carrying it, and unable to find an alternative source, features editor Pia Hansen opted to drop it. Amid the uproar, Hansen looked more closely and discovered that one of our other syndicate services does carry the Jumble, and we'll resume publication tomorrow. Oh, and we also redesigned the whole newspaper What we haven't heard this morning is complaints about the newly redesigned Spokesman-Review. There was some talk on the Mark Fuhrman show about it this morning, including a complaint from Fuhrman himself that we "never" have Iraq news in the paper. There were some issues with the press run - some readers reported "bleedthrough" (when wet ink from one page blots onto another, making the page unreadable) and other legibility issues.
2007 brought loss, opportunity
The center, regarded as a "one-stop" medical facility, consolidates outpatient rehabilitation and occupational medicine from the downtown main PRMC campus and a Tilghman Road site. The center also creates an east side location for hospital X-ray services. The Accohannock Indian Tribe Inc. in Marion Station won a $500,000 federal grant to expand the 33-acre Bending Water Park's Living Village created to showcase 17th-century life of the Lower Shore clan. The venture, according to Accohannock Chief Rudy Hall, will preserve the Native American culture, educate school children and other visitors and boost Somerset County tourism. The grant was announced in October. It would be a last resort, but the proposed 500 Riverside condominium community on the downtown waterfront could turn to a renters market for occupants if home sales remain in a slump, says Tom Wentz of Prudential Carruthers Real Estate.
Delhi-Gurgaon expressway opened for traffic
NEW DELHI: More than three weeks after its formal date of completion, the Rs 1,000 crore 27 km-long Delhi-Gurgaon expressway was on Wednesday opened to public.
The expressway, inaugurated by the Union Minister for road transport and highways TR Baalu along with Haryana Chief Minister Bhupinder Singh Hooda, is expected to cut short the travelling time between Gurgaon and Dhaula Kuan by at least an hour.
But vehicle-users have to pay a toll for travelling through the stretch, which would be collected at three toll plazas located in Indira Gandhi International Airport, Delhi-Gurgaon border and 42nd milestone.
"We have received the official clearance from the consulting body RITES for collecting toll, and the process will start soon," Chairman, National Highway Authority of India (NHAI), N Gokulram said.
