  • Vandy has put the kibosh on bottled water, phasing out the usual 20,000 water bottles usually handed out on move-in weekend, and replacing them with “water stations” and reusable water bottles. How green! [Tennessean]
  • Over at the Tennessean, it has been deemed homepage-banner-worthy BREAKING NEWS that country duo Brooks & Dunn have called it quits after 20 years of bringin’ the music. WKRN managed to make less of an ordeal about it, so we’ll direct you their way. [WKRN]
  • Speaking of the Tennessean, editor & vice president Mark Silverman would like those pesky bloggers to stop picking on them about the whole convention center PR debacle. [Tennessean]
  • The latest Metro client data security breach was revealed today, as the Nashville Career Advancement Center admitted it exposed 160 clients’ names and social security numbers via the interwebs. [NPR]

    Gee, you don't think Mr. Tennessean wants us to lay off about the convention center PR mess because, as the sole newspaper and one of only 4-6 major media outlets in the area, they were one of the main beneficiaries of all that extra PR budget, do you?

    Yes, pesky bloggers! But he also wants the pesky commenters to lay off, too.

    Anyone know how the Belmont University switch from bottled water went? Well enough Vandy is following I guess…
