DealBook (Free subscription) | 10/08/2008

A new Web site had its debut this week, thedailybeast.com.

The Screenwriters League (Free subscription) | 10/07/2008

The book is a jarring, frightening and at times disgusting look at the dark side of addiction. If the final chapters added anything of note, it was my realization that while Carr seemed at least intellectually aware...

Chiefs fans, it’s time to blast our opponent…the Carolina Panthers: 10. As bad as our quarterback situation currently is, we never inked David Carr. 9.

He's sort of gotten lost in the shuffle of this season, what with a lot of great pitching performances- Cliff Lee, Brandon Webb, Jon Lester, Tim Lincecum....
