Get ready New York…
Brilliant. Such a show of quiet resiliency. Their best cover since this one.
Today’s headlines:
USC DORNSIFE/TIMES POLL: Support plunges for Prop. 30, California Gov. Jerry Brown’s tax initiative

Hope rules this part of the swing state of Iowa
Voters in Indianola, Warren County, sound more upbeat than their brethren in most other states. But it’s not clear which presidential candidate will benefit from their cautious optimism.
Scientists defend safety of genetically modified foodsAlteration of crops is widespread, producing plants with higher yields, less need for pesticides and other desirable qualities. And, many scientists say, such crops are as safe as any other.
U.S. sues BofA, calling loan fraud ‘brazen’The $1-billion civil suit alleges that BofA’s Countrywide fraudulently deceived mortgage finance giants Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac into believing the company’s risky loans were safe and sound.
Syria activists record all they can for history’s sakeTrying to identify corpses, digitally documenting destruction, the activists want to be sure that ‘one day no one can say a piece of our history is missing.’
I was checking out this front from the LA Times, trying to put myself into the brain of the designer who has to figure out all these non-modular spaces and I noticed something. Above the bottom photo, there’s this space. “Oh, cool, they put some air between the photo and that story that wraps around it.”
But that’s not the case at all. That space runs across horizontally across the paper, right in between the stories, even the vertical rule. “What is that?” I thought.
Then I stepped back, saw the space and realized, “Is that the fold?”
And I’m assuming it is. It’s a kind of cool design thing, I guess, to not put any copy or rules on the fold. I’ve never noticed any other paper that does that. It’s a small, little, weird thing that I’m sure someone told them that makes the paper easier to read and looks super cool. *shrug*
The theme of today’s front pages: pointing.

We’ve been a quieter than usual this week, and for good reason: As USA TODAY turns 30 this week, we’re super excited to announce a new look. The big changes start tomorrow with a redesigned print edition (which we hope you’ll pick up!), with much more to follow.
We’ve got lots planned here on Tumblr over the next few weeks, so stick with us to get a look at the changes and how they came about. And let us know what you think!
Meantime, this video explains where we’re headed: http://youtu.be/SwFEX3KMstE
Wow, I can’t wait to see tomorrow’s edition. The video talking about the brand looks really good, very clean and, dare I say it, EUROPEAN.
Is the blue square gone forever, replaced by these circles? We’ll see tomorrow.
