A1: Some head scratching over the "Knowing our pain" headline. The group got it, but it seemed obtuse.
Debby Abe's story about senior projects was interesting and showed the inconsistencies of how this good idea is not well executed at some schools.
On A2, the Tall Ships house ad has an error. The URL for the tall ships web page is not active yet. We're working on it this week.
B1: Nice sense of place centerpiece on the Tacoma Armory.
Biz: We liked the headline on the Wilcox Farms CEO.

A1: Earmarks centerpiece. Interesting and informative. The AP story on A9 claims outrage, but we just show the money. Does the AP story overstate earmarks as a reason for Congress' realignment during the last election cycle? Maybe. There were a couple of questions about the presentation too. What are those mugs doing for the readers? They represent, in order, earmark money brought to the state by our delegation. And the headline is a specific number, but the story explains that it's not the actual number.
There's a lot of great content to promote in the paper besides Big Brown losing. The group thought it would be better to tease more content inside. We prefer 3-4 teasers on the Sunday cover.

Sports:
Biz: The cell phone centerpiece was useful information for readers. Stay tuned for more cell phone law stories.
Soundlife: Fun read about miniature golf. The story needed a time element. The match happened last December, but that's not in the caption or story.

A1: Photo of chilly kids is great, really nailed it. Sunshine graphic was nice addition to the page. Teasers are successful. Numbers are always great in teasers and these worked.
B1:
Sports: Jake Locker story was interesting.
Home & Garden: The before garden photos were too small. On the cover and inside they were hard to read.
