    What you should know about Zylotrim

    And from the dark secluded valleys

    I heard the ancient songs of sadness

    But every step I thought of you

    Every footstep only you

    And every star a grain of sand

    The leavings of a dried up ocean

    Tell me, how much longer?

    How much longer?

    - Sting, "Mad About You"

    The world is full of paper,

    Write to me.

    - Shahid Agha Ali, poem

    Still no detail on today's lay-offs at the Asheville Citizen-Times

    I've got my feelers out, but no official word on the lay-offs that went down at the Asheville Citizen-Times today. One source told me six people got handed pink slips, but that's unconfirmed, and I don't have details.

    Meanwhile, hundreds of Gannett Corp. newspaper employees across the U.S. were learning of a similar fate today. Gannett owns the Citizen-Times.

    I'll update as I learn more about the bloodbath.

    C-T cut the Mountain News product and along with it reporters Julie Ball and Andre Rodriguez. The newsroom also lost two from the copy desk. I don't have the names.
