Big news - all this week's jobs are in one post. Check in the usual place and you'll see:
http://bit.ly/1L3DcX9
Other news - oh, yeah, there was a spill on the Animas River in Colorado. I've got a whole section devoted to my Tweets about it. I am partial to Bruce Thomson's perspective.
The photo is from the Los Angeles Times.
Want more Animas River Tweets? See Twitter hashtags #AnimasRiverSpill and #AnimasRiver.
