T-Squared: QRANK Creator Joins Trib Team
A familar face around these parts is about to get a lot more familiar.
Today is Rodney Gibbs' first day as the Trib's Chief Innovation Officer, a newly created post that makes him the guy in charge of all the cool stuff we're doing and the even cooler stuff we should be doing and will be doing soon. By design and dictate, he'll have his fingers in each area of our business — editorial, obviously, but also technology, fundraising, membership, corporate underwriting, events, audience engagement, social media, finance, you name it.

This is really exciting for the Texas Tribune and Austin! Can't wait to see what develops. $10 life goal: surpass Julia's high score just once.

That's great! Now can you please come to my office and figure out why I can never get QRank to load on my computer? I would SO win every month if I could just play!

Welcome Rodney Gibbs... Maybe you can help here, if you can , thanks so much.
The use of gas chambers for euthanasia in animal shelters is legal in many states, including Texas. But what many people don't realize is that it causes up to 40 minutes of torturous pain to the animals.
Please help stop this practice, starting with Texas. »
Inside the gas chambers, carbon monoxide causes the animals' eyes and nose to burn as they suffocate to death. This causes panic, and they frantically paw on the chamber walls and try to dig their noses under the door.
This is truly heartbreaking. And worse, sometimes it doesn't work the first time around.
Please we must to ban animal gas chambers in the state of Texas. Animals deserve to be treated with respect, even in death. We can do better than this. Really.

First request: Make the TT tables from Ethics Committee political donations more user friendly. I can still find info faster on other sites!
