Today, however, should be warm and Claire.

In our continuing coverage of Cargo's death (if only someone had paid so much attention when the mag was still alive), it's been brought to our attention that senior editor Matt Trainor was on NY1 yesterday giving tips on how to host a March Madness party. Oh, cruel irony.

• Time Inc. is likely to cut as many as 400 jobs next year, maybe as early as the end of January. There is no joke to be made here. [NYP]
• How much did Mort Zuckerman want to hang onto to the News's Les Goodstein? Enough to — perish the thought — interrupt a vacation to try to convince him to stay. [WWD]
• In the crystal ball: Yahoo and Google will build news divisions in 2006, and the Bancrofts will finally sell the Journal — to an alliance of WashPostCo and Warren Buffett. [Forbes]
• Mag circ shit continues hitting the fan. [BW]
• Jon Friedman spent the strike watching NY1, and he developed a crush on the stations — and on transit reporter Bobby Cuza. [MW]

Pat Kiernan made an interesting point while reading us the newspaper this morning:

NY1 is reporting that the Williamsburg Bridge is closed after "reports of suspicious activity." (Other sources report that three men were seen with packages, and then without.) A reader beats me to the punchline: "Simple security precaution, or, can we hope, the beginning of the Hipster Quarantine? Is the East Village next?"
