Had a hard time finding much of interest in this morning's news feeds. No shortage of Dolphin stadium talk, however.

A- TC Palm: Weird.

Her bedroom drawers had been turned inside out, but only one thing was missing from her guest bedroom: her mother's remains, kept in an engraved wooden box.

B- South Florida Business Journal: So how's that paywall coming?

Media blogger Jim Romenesko is reporting that The Miami Herald will be issuing more furloughs for full-time employees, managers and executives.

The furlough program requires staff to take one week of unpaid furlough by June 30, according to a memo from Herald publisher David Landsberg that is posted on Romenesko’s blog.

C- South Florida Business Journal: Birds of a feather.

The Miami Dolphins' PR blitz has enlisted prominent New Yorkers Donald Trump and Jonathan M. Tisch to back owner Stephen Ross' $400 million plan to modernize Sun Life Stadium.

Ross is "a very good friend of mine," according to a Trump quote in a USA Today article last March when there was hope that Peyton Manning might come to the Miami Dolphins. Ross belongs to Trump's club in Palm Beach.

D- CBS4: Wash, rinse, repeat.

MIAMI (CBS4) – Miami businessman Norman Braman would like nothing better than to become the deal killer for a proposed plan to renovate Sun Life Stadium using tax dollars.

Braman, who fought a losing fight against the Marlins Ballpark, has harsh words for Miami Dolphins owner Stephen Ross.

“This is welfare for a multi-billionaire,” Braman told CBS4′s Eliott Rodriguez. “People have been struggling to keep their jobs and their homes, and here’s a guy who’s worth $4.4 billion and he’s asking for welfare to remodel his stadium.”
