    Just when you’d had your car radio presets programmed to your favorite stations, you may have to change one of them again.  If you love oldies music and one of your favorite stations is Oldies 103.3, WODS, you’ll need to search for a new station.

    It takes a lot to make Jim Rome look at least somewhat sympathetic. Actually, not sure it’s ever been done before. But David Stern found a way earlier this week, delivering the sort of churlish answer that made him look childish and insensitive.

    I hated the Sunday paper. As a 10 year-old paperboy pushing a shopping cart filled with the Boston Sunday Globe uphill I dreamed about the day they stopped publishing. Now I want it – and others like it – to stay vibrant. Because social media users and bloggers depend on it.

    Statistics are a boon to online advertising. They allow us to gauge the effectiveness of campaigns, diagnose issues with content and answer the big question, “How popular is my site?” Without statistics, site owners (and advertisers) would be blind.
