So im laying out a services page for a website (general service information), and there are a few primary services, and a larger number of secondary services (with the majority of those, less important than the minority).
My question is, Which way is best to structure the HTML code that contains this information?
This is what I have so far:
section .secondaryservices
[INDENT=3]article[/INDENT][INDENT=4]h2 - secondary service one title (ie: service four)p[/INDENT][INDENT=3] article [/INDENT][INDENT=4]h2 - secondary service two title (ie: service five)p
[/INDENT][INDENT=3][/INDENT][INDENT=2]section .tertiaryservices
[/INDENT][INDENT=3] article [/INDENT][INDENT=4]h3 - tertiary service one title (ie: service six)p[/INDENT][INDENT=3]article[/INDENT][INDENT=4]h3 - tertiary service two title (ie: service seven)p[/INDENT][INDENT=2][/INDENT]
[INDENT=2][INDENT]article[/INDENT][INDENT=2]h3 - tertiary service three title (ie: service eight)p[/INDENT][/INDENT]
Now, is this correct?
Or should each of the Primary Services (ie the top three sections), have a single article inside them too? ...to hold the service information? Matching the layout/structure of the secondary and tertiary services
Is an article always needed, or is it oay to sometimes place content inside just a section? If so, when? As per above?
I know this is probably a small matter, and may not matter to most, but im really quite into making sure things are done as correctly as possible, and still adjusting to HTML5 from HTML4/XHTML so would appreciate any advice.
Thanks guys!
Why use html5 elements?
For one thing, it won't work properly in all browsers and html5 is still in draft mode and will be for quite a few years yet.
Imo, a definition list is what you need to semantically markup your information.
I'm not sure its a case of a dl, but certainly the use of all those sections and articles seems of dubious worth. This seems like a straight out job for titles and paragraphs to me. This page would be perfect with an H1 at the top, h2s for sub titles and h3s for further sub titles.
As for the HTML5, There doesn't seem to be a reason for those first three sections. What makes them sections? Presumably the whole point of HTML5 would be that #main is a section itself. Those articles also really don't seem like articles. The idea of articles was that the content could be extracted and stand on its own ... meaning that it ideally would be headed by an H1.
HTML5 is going to provide fun times ahead ... as the roles of the new elements are pretty vague. As tunnil says, there is no advantage in trying to use HTML5 at this stage ... if ever.
I would use a
 for each group of services (primary, secondary, tertiary)
The
 would contain the service title and the
 the service description. You can then style the
s and
s to suit their function.
Above each
 you could have a <hx> header
No, there are no such rules, always use articles inside sections.On the other hand, you don't start from here: place content. You thematically group content into sections.
Going into semantics.
div#main is, in fact, section#main.
I'd just use the semantic sectioning the headings (h1-h6) naturally provide. Something inherited from HTML4.
section#mainh2 - service one titlep
h2 - service two titlep
h2 - service three titlep
h3 - secondary service one title (ie: service four)p
h3 - secondary service two title (ie: service five)p
h4 - tertiary service one title (ie: service six)p
h4 - tertiary service two title (ie: service seven)p
h4 - tertiary service three title (ie: service eight)p
h4 - tertiary service four title (ie: service nine)p
There is another way, making each set of services a section, but that's up to the content, really.
Not to me. It's pretty simple until everybody still learning starts reading between the lines and looks to overcomplicate half understood notions. This and various venting from developers still resisting adoption, for various personal reasons.
For me, there are clear advantages today: no more ul and div for everything. Since HTML5 semantics is already supported extremely well by current browsers, HTML5 it's not a fade promise anymore, it's a future demand for web developers. It's up to web developer itself to properly learn and apply.
I think HTML5 is supposed to provide us some new options for how we use headings. It used to be (and for the moment, still is) the case that we could only denote sections and sub-sections by the heading levels (h1, h2, h3, etc.). But in HTML5, we can mark sections and sub-sections explicitly, which means our heading levels can reset within each section.
Copy-pasted from the HTML5 draft:

Apples are fruit.

They taste lovely.

Red apples are sweeter than green ones.

Apples come in various colors.

Though, I'll also echo tunnil's first post: This is only useful if browsers, crawlers, and screen readers recognize this markup and structure.
I disagree. Your post, Jeff, is but 1/3 of the story. HTML5 provides us with semantic sections. These semantic sections can now make use of headings in more than one way. But headings are but a side effect.
On the "Headings and sections" section: http://developers.whatwg.org/sections.html#headings-and-sections
[...] headings of equal or higher rank start new (implied) sections, headings of lower rank start implied subsections that are part of the previous one. In both cases, the element represents the heading of the implied section.
Which makes my example perfectly valid.
Regarding new trends, there are a few things they encourage (not constrain) authors to do:
Sections may contain headings of any rank, but authors are strongly encouraged to either use only h1 elements, or to use elements of the appropriate rank for the section's nesting level.
Authors are also encouraged to explicitly wrap sections in elements of sectioning content, instead of relying on the implicit sections generated by having multiple headings in one element of sectioning content.
which means to say, start headings from h1 in a new section and explicitly group the content. Which makes sense, but only when the content is asking for it and only when the outline of the documents benefits from it.
The following three examples describe these increasing degrees of grouping the content with semantic section elements and the issues one may encounter:
For example, the following is correct:

Apples are fruit.

They taste lovely.

Red apples are sweeter than green ones.

Apples come in various colors.

However, the same document would be more clearly expressed as:

Apples are fruit.

They taste lovely.

Red apples are sweeter than green ones.

Apples come in various colors.

Both of the documents above are semantically identical and would produce the same outline in compliant user agents.
This third example is also semantically identical, and might be easier to maintain (e.g. if sections are often moved around in editing):

Apples are fruit.

They taste lovely.

Red apples are sweeter than green ones.

Apples come in various colors.

This final example would need explicit style rules to be rendered well in legacy browsers. Legacy browsers without CSS support would render all the headings as top-level headings.
It's extremely important to notice in the first example how they play with implicit sectioning (the ending h1) and the explicit sectioning (the section element).
It's clear that with HTML5, authors do have more options and this thing probably scares most of them, accustom to divs after divs after divs. And the most powerful thing is that there are several right answers, a thing often overlooked by "legacy" developers used to having but one right semantic answer. Hence the venting, half truths (third truths ) and never ending misunderstandings.
@tunnil - this is not a list of definitions. It is a 'services' page, describing the services provided, and talking about each service in some depth. We are not defining the services, we are discussing how they can help the reader, how you can benefit from them, and why you should use company X over company Y to be provided with them. So imho, a Definition List is not appropriate here.
The entire site has been coded in HTML5, hence its use. I'd rather not go off-topic into that one though lol.
How come Ralph?
But all of the services are individual services, not necessarily connected to one another, and can be used or purchased/employed on their own merits. So one is not needed by any other. They are all of 'equal' importance other than the way the business who provides said services wishes and chooses to promote or supply them. IE: a construction company may well do Windows and Doors, but you can bet that House Extensions and New Build Properties are of higher priority to them.
In that example, I would suggest the two 'primary services' (house extensions and new builds) would go into one Section (perhaps each inside an article? perhaps not), and the 'secondary services) inside another Section. No? I would like to hear any reasoning's against this methodology.
See above.
Again, as per above, the content in each section CAN stand on its own (and perhaps should each have H1 tags).
IMHO, HTML5 is the future. People are using it now, and if you get used to using it now you can focus on learning other things whilst those who stic with HTML4/XHTML1.x trail behind to catch up. ....not that I want to take this thread off topic at all.
Thanks for your input itmitica, I appreciate it; but wouldnt using the H1-H6 tags in that way create a sense that the content it all part of the same topic or item, closely related, but breaking down into further and further detail? I don't feel that 'fits' the semantic behind the content. Each service is individual, and can be supplied on its own, and indeed companies out there exist solely to provide only one service of any within my primary, secondary and tertiary sections. Surely H1-H6 dont make clear the that the content under each heading is different and to a large extent, unrelated to one another?
I also would have to agree with your second point there, using sections as described. I feel this is a good 'fit' for the content, but would welcome your thoughts on this more... if you may?
Again not wanting to get into this, but yes. I agree 100%.
Is this not exactly what I have attempted to apply and do in my original code snippet posted in the opening post of this thread?
I used Sections to break up the differing categories of service (primary, secondary, tertiary), and inside each of those used H1-H6 tags to appropriately identify not only the title/name of each service, but also the importance of that service in relation to the company's main goal. IE: H1 tagged services are primary, H2 tagged services as secondary, and so on. That is exactly what has been done in your code snippet above, but without the use of Articles. No?
Again, thanks to everyone who has commented and replied so far. I would love to hear more thoughts on this and of my comments above. I feel the thread is possibly near a solution/end? Does anyone have any other ideas or further comments to interject?
You use article not because "Each service is individual", but when you want that content, describing the service, be easily syndicated, and when that content is an alien there.
Think of article elements like passengers in a train: the only thing connecting them is the wagon, the container. But they will all go different ways.
In your case, each service description describes various individuals from the same family. They all go to the same destination: home.
Also, it's not about getting so precise with what content says, but about with what content is.
In this case, your services descriptions are the same thing: a tender. The transition from one service offer to another doesn't mean another topic, it means a different of the same.
h1-h6 do offer an implicit level of sectioning for that. Using the section element, like you did, and like it is done in the second example from the specs, makes for a more explicit distinction in your content. If you feel it's necessary, by all means, use the section elements.
The problem with your example is that you break consistency of heading rules inside sections. You could pick up the heading level from the parent section (h1 to h2), but here you're trying to rely a false meaning (a service is more important) which is not the heading's job.
In fact, each of the three services section are the same level:
section#primary_servicesh1 - primary services title
sectionh2 - service one titlep
sectionh2 - service two titlep
section#secondary_servicesh1 - secondary services title
sectionh2 - secondary service one titlep
sectionh2 - secondary service two titlep
section#tertiary_servicesh1 - tertiary services title
sectionh2 - tertiary service one titlep
sectionh2 - tertiary service two titlep
I believe this is the right way, and the one I provided before was wrong. Sorry.It's wrong because there's no real subordination between a primary service and a secondary service. It's about business precedence here, and that's not conveyable by markup.
All seems to make good sense itmitică. Thanks for taking the time to read and reply.
I think i'll go with sections for the 3 main categories of service, and amend headings as per your example above (doing away with Articles).
Thank you again!
Sure, but if you are going to put them all on the same page, then they all fall under Services, the main title—h1. In that reard, each is a subset of Services, so deserves an h2 heading. Any subests of each service deserves an h3 and so on. Otherwise, if they are all so individual, each should have its own page.
This document structure has served us well for centuries. I don't see the point of shaking all these headings up as if in a blender and spitting them out in any old order. I don't agree that it provides better semantics. No one has convinced me that there's anything better than the traditional heading-based semantics.
These discussions (that I've seen so far) don't seem to discuss styling. Styling all those headings with all those nesting levels is surely going to be a hell of a job.
@appleheadYou're welcome.
From what I gather, for the OP, secondary are not subsets of primary and tertiary are subsets of secondary. These are services on their on, but the business focus is on the first set of services, then on the second and then on the third.
Lower level headings are not suppose to express the importance of the services, and, as such, they all fall under the same level, only that some occur sooner while others occur later.
Except that it's not spitting them out randomly. That's why it provides better semantics... but in browsers that served us well for centuries, that may be a problem.
You should respect the fact that others acknowledge it as better semantics. Personal choices don't just nullify the very existence of HTML5 semantics.
It's not that complicate either. But if the simplicity of HTML4 is the one preventing you to adopt HTML5 semantics, then this is not the right reason.
The normal heading structures can account for any such combinations, IMHO.
You should respect the fact that others acknowledge it as better semantics.
I can respect their efforts without agreeing with them. I don't see how a dog's breakfast of headings and sections improves semantics. Semantics, by their very definition, are meant to make things meaningful and clear, which the new setup doesn't seem to do at all. People have come up with new-age models for all sorts of things—such as education, in the process throwing out centuries of tradition and knowledge. These new models of education have failed miserably—at least where I live.
if the simplicity of HTML4 is the one preventing you to adopt HTML5 semantics, then this is not the right reason.
It's the logic and true semantics of the older model that make me prefer it.
Let's start from the top: HTML4.http://www.w3.org/TR/html401/struct/global.html#h-7.5.5
The following example shows how to use the DIV element to associate a heading with the document section that follows it. Doing so allows you to define a style for the section (color the background, set the font, etc.) with style sheets.
<[B]DIV class="section"[/B] id="forest-elephants" >
[B]
Forest elephants
[/B]

In this section, we discuss the lesser known forest elephants.
...this section continues...
<[B]DIV class="subsection"[/B] id="forest-habitat" >

Forest elephants do not live in trees but among them.
...this subsection continues...
And let's compare it with HTML5:http://developers.whatwg.org/sections.html#headings-and-sections

Apples are fruit.

They taste lovely.

Red apples are sweeter than green ones.

Apples come in various colors.

For me, it's the logic and true semantics of the new model.
Which is the old model... improved. HTML5 does make things more clear.
You'll notice, that even in HTML4, even though headings imply sectioning to follow and to end, they resort to div to explicitly section the document.
div was also used as style hooks. To make a semantic difference, HTML5 brought the section element forward, which is to be used only for semantic sectioning purposes.
That's better model, if you ask me.
The reason is that you could add any number of classes to a div: section, subsection, nav, header, footer. But an attribute is a value that could be overlooked or be missing, while an explicit correct element is sure to convey exactly the right meaning.
But you are comparing apples and ... elephants. :lol:
I don't see how the sections in the second example make a difference, except adding extra markup. If you stripped out those sections, the heading structure would still convey the same semantics.
Shrug, o well ... I'm not trying to pretend to be knowledgeable on this stuff, and haven't delved into HTML5 as much as you, but I'm still dubious about the need for new semantics. I've seen examples of where sematic value is indeed added, but only in fairly minor ways that don't seem to justify all the fuss. I can see that value in small items like figcaption etc, which is fine—I'll happily use them when widely supported. But as for the overall page structure, I remain unconvinced.
Not the way I see it, not the way HTML4 and HTML5 specs are written, and certainly not the way things are. Again, implicit and explicit sectioning is the subject. You seem to think that implicit sectioning is the only way...
I would have preferred further development of ARIA roles, to be honest.
If the two overlap, I say that markup is a better choice. It makes it easier on both the developer and the browser vendor.
Roles allow for a whole lot more semantics, and these would perfectly double up as hooks for styling, rather than having to add classes to
s instead. Imagine how many semantic roles could be made available—then you'd have real semantics. As it stands, all the possibilities of meaning are rolled into a few new tags like
,  and
 ... which don't mean much more than
 to me.  is pretty vague, too, as every link is really for navigation. And even  is pretty vague.
Looking at the online controversy surrounding HTML5, it seems web developers can't handle simple semantics like header, section, footer.
A whole lot more semantics I think it would blow the internet off the orbit!!! :rofl:
Seriously though, one thing that seems to contribute to the indecision and confusion is web developers trying to get ahead the content and start planning the structure before hand.
Once you decide upon the content, things get clearer and easier. But there is not a single HTML5 semantics universal answer for every content out there, as it may change along with your content changes.

ONTARIO - Tuesday's opening of the new Civic Center Transfer Station was celebrated with a quick bus ride.
Ontario and Omnitrans officials took the ride around downtown to see the bus shelter and accessibility improvements at seven bus stops near the Civic Center, adjacent to City Hall. The $520,000 project also included relocation and consolidation of bus stops.
"This station provides vital transportation services to more than 500 commuters each day, taking community members (to) work, school, home, shopping or recreational destinations," said Milo Victoria, Omnitrans' CEO and general manager.
"Five Omnitrans routes will help residents to connect with their community."
The relocation of two stops around the Civic Center provides easy access to City Hall, the Senior Center, Ovitt Family Community Library as well as the University of La Verne Law School, Victoria said.
The two stops are between D Street and Holt Avenue along Euclid, Holt and Sultana avenues.
The station is part of Ontario's plan to enhance transportation access for residents and the business community, Mayor Paul Leon said at a ceremony Tuesday morning at City Hall.
More important, Leon said, the project provides a connection to five Omnitrans routes, access to the Amtrak station at 198 E. Emporia St. and access to the future extension of the Metro Gold Line and Metrolink.
Victoria said Omnitrans is pleased to be Ontario's partner in creating a Civic Center that will support multimodal transportation and foster train and bus connections.
The vision also includes a proposed Omnitrans rapid- transit bus line along Holt and Euclid.
Victoria said Ontario and Omnitrans have been partners since the agency's beginning 36 years ago.
"These trips will be more convenient and enjoyable thanks to the reorganization and upgrade that has been provided," Victoria said.
Funding for the project came from the Federal Transit Administration.

I have an "upload_photo.php" script that allows Users to add a "Photo Label" below the Photo they are uploading.
This gets displayed using the TITLE attribute in the IMG tag.
Is there any reason why I would want to restrict what characters can go in the "Photo Label"?
Not sure if this is a possible "Attack Vector" or not?
Why ask when you already know the answer to that?
Of course you've heard of SQL injection attacks so, at the very least, run your title through mysqli_real_escape_string. I'd be picker than that but it's a good place to start - after all, why would you allow ANYTHING other than letters and spaces? Okay, digits, too? You KNOW that 's are used in SQL injection but mysqli_real_escape_string will encode those (or change them to ' before submitting in a query).
Also, as you already know apply, htmlentities() to the title when echo'ing to prevent XSS.
If I knew the answers I wouldn't be wasting my time here... :rolleyes:
I don't understand what I'm supposed to do with mysqli_real_escape_string....
I have to use htmlentities() for ALT and TITLE attributes?! :eek:
Yes. See PM.

What a difference a year makes. Last November Jasmin and I were on a 'working' vacation. Now don't get me wrong, free climbing El Cap was a dream come true for us, but I would be lying if I didn't say it was the hardest thing I have ever done in terms of athletic endeavors. I have done big days in the mountains on skis, rock and ice, but the sheer labor involved in free climbing a big wall for five days with diminishing sleep and a taxed body is a huge mental and physical struggle. I think combining that trip after a summer of desperately rebuilding the family business after storm damage, followed by an ankle joint infection requiring surgery, and then six weeks later destroying my knee led to one of the hardest years of my life. I had great friends and family through it all, and money was never a stress so there is a lot to be thankful for because at the end of it all was the muy tranquilo Spanish climbing vacation that Jasmin and I so desperately needed.
After a spring and summer of rehab, which is every bit mental as it is physical, I feel like I am finally firing on all climbing cylinders again. September saw me get oh-so-tantalizingly close to my sport climbing five-year project. Even though I didn't send it, I did better than I ever had before, on my hardest route ever, which to me means that I was back from injury better than ever. The new and improved Evan, I hope!
So with that mentality Jas and I left for seven weeks of clipping bolts in Spain, specifically Rodellar and Terradets, two well-known destinations in the foothills of the Pyrenees. Tons of tufas drip and dangle from the overhanging walls, teasing us desperately toward the top of 30-40m endurance climbs. If steep, fun sport climbing, with five star hikes on your days not climbing is your thing, then it's time to head to Spain.
Overall, the quiet Spanish towns are friendly and chill, which was a huge contrast to spending two days in Barcelona. I know we are not city people, but the homelessness and unemployment of Spain didn't hit until we got to the city. 25 percent unemployment is high, and crazy enough is the fact that youth unemployment is 50 percent! A quick trip to the city made me thankful for all we have; jobs, homes, friends, family and health. At home I feel as though there is so much opportunity and support for me to pursue my passions.
So we continue to climb until we can't hold on any more on some of the best rock we have ever touched. Staring off and wandering through the beautiful country side, enjoying local artisan breads, cheeses and produce. The simple life of eating, sleeping and climbing is being extra appreciated right now with the final countdown of just a few weeks to 17 hour work days and bottomless powder. Now and in the busy winter to come I will surely be loving exactly where I am and what I am doing and who I am doing it with! Except of course for the four days that I have to sit in a classroom to re-certify my first aid!

Even in its incomplete form, The Love of The Last Tycoon: A Western has achieved a reputation as the best Hollywood novel. When F. Scott Fitzgerald died in 1940 he had written seventeen of thirty projected episodes. In 1941 the "unfinished novel" was published in a text for general readers by Edmund Wilson under the title The Last Tycoon. For more than fifty years that edition, which disguises the state of Fitzgerald's work in progress, has been the only one available. This critical edition of The Love of The Last Tycoon utilizes Fitzgerald's manuscript drafts, revised typescripts, and working notes to establish the first authoritative text of the brilliant work in progress. The volume includes a detailed history of the gestation, composition, and publication of the novel; an explanation of editorial principles; full textual apparatus with editorial notes; facsimiles of the drafts; and explanatory notes on topical allusions and historical references for contemporary readers. The reconstruction of Fitzgerald's intentions for the thirteen unwritten episodes is particularly useful. F. Scott Fitzgerald's incomplete masterpiece is accurately restored to its 1940 state (with editorial emendation of non-functional errors) and thus made fully accessible to a cross-section of readers.

The news that Seth MacFarlane the creator of "Family Guy," "American Dad!" and "The Cleveland Show," and therefore one of the few people sucking up more of Rupert Murdoch's money than Sean Hannity will be the host for next February's Oscar telecast caused a mini-explosion in the Twitter universe this week. (To be fair, a cat playing piano will cause a mini-explosion in the Twitter universe.)
The one question most people asked was: Why him?
I had another question in mind: Why would anyone want the headache of this gig?
The "why him?" question is easily answered: The Academy Awards is a ratings loser, and the producers Neil Meron and Craig Zadan ("Footloose," "Chicago") wanted to find somebody, anybody, who could draw the elusive 14-35 demographic.
The Academy has been going after that group with the persistence, and success rate, of Ahab pursuing the white whale. In past years, the Academy has tried revamping its rules to expand the Best Picture category to let in blockbuster films (after the snubbing of "The Dark Knight"). It hired young actors with no chemistry to host (remember James Franco and Anne Hathaway?). And last year it made a disastrous attempt to bring in director Brett Ratner (of the "Rush Hour" films) as a producer a move that ended prematurely when Ratner had to resign after making homophobic comments.
Ratner had picked Eddie Murphy to emcee this year's Oscars, but Murphy bowed out when Ratner did and the substitute was Billy Crystal, who was a comfortable choice to the Academy's geriatric base but didn't do much to draw the young folks.
MacFarlane, it must be assumed, could draw some of the younger audience that watches "Family Guy" or those who filled theaters this summer for his directing debut, the raunchy comedy "Ted."
He joked to The Hollywood Reporter that he "was sitting outside [Zadan and Meron's] office" awaiting the call, and it's clear he has been angling for a job like this for a while.
MacFarlane is an invisible presence in his TV shows, with only his name and his many voices dim bulb Peter Griffin, sophisticate-dog Brian Griffin and the violence-minded Stewie Griffin on "Family Guy," and blowhard CIA agent Stan Smith on "American Dad!"
But he has been pushing his face further into the public sphere. He released an album of Big Band standards, revealing a love for the classics and a fair crooning voice something he's deployed frequently on "Family Guy." He embraced Borscht Belt tradition by emceeing Comedy Central roasts for Charlie Sheen and David Hasselhoff. And last month he fared well as host of the season premiere of "Saturday Night Live," where his numerous impersonations namely a zoned-out caricature of Olympic swimmer Ryan Lochte drew a few laughs.
So MacFarlane has been gunning for an emcee gig like the Oscars and now he's found one that Neil Patrick Harris hasn't taken already.
There's still the question of why MacFarlane, or anybody, would take what has to be the most thankless job in showbiz.
Awaiting any Oscar emcee are a cadre of movie critics (ahem), plus millions of bloggers and tweeters, waiting to tear the host apart for any fault in the show. And no matter what goes wrong whether it's an idiotic musical number, an extraneous montage or a fatuous acceptance speech ultimately the emcee takes the rap.
Then there's the paradox that the emcee must appeal to young viewers, but not alienate the older audience. For one thing, that older audience includes the aging stars and Hollywood power players sitting in the Dolby Theatre. So even if the emcee tries to do some edgy material, the jokes won't get a lot of laughs in the room and once the flopsweat starts, it's difficult to make it stop.
As past emcees like David Letterman and Jon Stewart have learned, being too ironic is often a losing proposition. The Academy's members take themselves and their awards really seriously and don't like it when hosts (especially ones who come from TV) start aiming the jokes at Oscar's pretentiousness. So the jokes stay along familiar paths, like mocking the telecast's length.
To really score as an Oscar emcee, it's necessary to be funny without being too ironic. Johnny Carson, who hosted five times in six years (1978-1983), excelled at telling gently mocking jokes while remaining sincere about his love for movies. Crystal, with nine ceremonies under his belt, could spread the warmth with the humor but he's a throwback to an earlier era.
There's only one name I can think of who combines sincerity, youth appeal and guaranteed humor. It's a group that should have gotten the gig when Ratner and Murphy dropped out. They had a box-office hit and enough public support that a Facebook campaign lobbied to get them the job.
When all else fails and everything else has for Oscar emcees the past few years the Academy would be making the smartest decision ever by giving the hosting job to the Muppets.

Mount Saint Mary College's program in Childhood Education is
guided by the principle that excellent elementary school teachers
have a strong background of research-based principles. Teaching
candidates successfully attain these knowledge bases through a
carefully planned sequence of courses taught by veteran
teacher-researchers, and with individual or course-embedded
Along with Education courses and an academic major, the Division
of Education offers courses that will prepare students with the
academic requirements for initial New York State certification
Students interested in Childhood Education may choose from the
following majors: Biology, Chemistry, English, Hispanic Studies,
History, History/Political Science (social studies), Information
Technology, Interdisciplinary Studies in Science, and Mathematics.
New: Early Childhood (B-grade 2)
certification is now an option for students in the Dual Childhood
(grades 1-6) and Students with Disabilities (grades 1-6).
This program prepares candidates for initial certification in
teaching students with a variety of disabilities, including autism,
emotional disturbance, learning disability, intelltraumatic brain
injury, or multiple disabilities and teaching such students in
inclusive or secial setting. ectual disability, othopedic
impairment, other health impairment.
Several courses feature faculty supervised course-embedded
fieldwork. Course-embedded fieldwork gives teacher candidates the
chance to learn from each other, to gain ideas for teaching, to
reflect with peers on what works and what does not work well, and
finally to support and become part of a community of learners who
care about teaching as a profession.
Students may also pursue an extension of the Childhood Education
certification to teach the subject matter of their academic major
in grades 7-9.
Students must take all certification courses at Mount Saint Mary
College, unless otherwise approved by an advisor. Students working
toward certification must consult with both an education advisor
and an advisor in the major each semester.
Mount Saint Mary College has a pre-K to grade 8 school, Bishop
Dunn Elementary School, right on campus. Our students complete
field work and observe teachers of Childhood Education in practice
at Bishop Dunn. They then gradually move into local school
fieldwork placements, helping to build the variety of experiences
that prospective employers look for.
While completing the teacher education program in Childhood or
Adolescence Education, students must complete 100 hours of
course-related, supervised fieldwork before student teaching.
Students pursuing Dual Certification must complete 150 hours, while
students pursuing a Middle School Extension must complete 100 hours
before student teaching plus a 3-credit practicum after student
Students must complete a semester of full-time student teaching
as arranged and supervised by Mount Saint Mary College within 25
miles of the college. Each student has two placements during the
semester (grades 1-3 and 4-6 for childhood programs). Students
pursuing the dual certification will complete one placement
teaching Students with Disabilities.
The College will not accept transfer credits from other
institutions to fulfill the student teaching requirement. Student
teaching must be completed within three years of graduation from
Mount Saint Mary College.
Candidates are recommended for certification to NYS after they
have completed program requirements and teacher certification
examinations required by New York.
Teacher candidates have student taught in more than 50 school
districts within a 25-mile distance from the college. Additionally,
some candidates have student-taught in the New York City public
According to the New York State Education Department, the areas
of need in teaching are in teaching Students with Disabilties,
Mathematics, Sciences, languages other than English, and
Information Technology. Teacher candidates with only Childhood
Education certification will likely find it difficult to find a
first job in a tenure track position after college in New York and
the Northeast.
The Mount's Education program is accredited by the National
Council for the Accreditation of Teacher Education (NCATE) and by
the following professional agencies: Council for Exceptional
Children (CEC), Association for Childhood Education International
(ACEI), International Reading Association (IRA), National Council
of Social Studies (NCSS), National Council of Teachers of English
(NCTE), National Council of Teachers of Mathematics (NCTM), and
National Science Teachers Association (NSTA).
Division of Education at Mount Saint Mary College is accredited by
the National Council for Accreditation of Teacher Education
(NCATE), www.ncate.org. This
accreditation covers initial teacher preparation programs and/or
advanced educator preparation programs at the College in Newburgh,
New York. However, the accreditation does not include individual
education courses that the institution offers to P-12 educators for
professional development, relicensure, or other purposes.
As part of the maintenance of NCATE accreditation, the college
is required to display data revealing the success of our programs.

McKissick Museum honors Township anniversary
The University of South Carolina's McKissick Museum will pay tribute to the Township Auditorium's 80th anniversary and longevity as a cultural institution with an exhibit that traces its history and highlights some of the most significant events that took place on its stage.
The exhibit opens May 29 and runs through July 31.
The exhibition is curated by undergraduate students William Buchanan, Meghan Shippey, Laura Ybarra and JoAnn Zeise, all history students of Dr. Allison Marsh.
The students designed a museum exhibit, including the selection of images, objects, and audio and video recordings.
The Township Auditorium, celebrating its 80th anniversary this year, will reopen June 10th after a $12 million dollar renovation.
From concerts and theatrical productions to historically significant meetings and rallies, the Township has hosted some of the most well-known performers and figures of the 20th century, including Elvis Presley, Pink Floyd, Smokey Robinson, and movie director Tyler Perry.
Activists from Paul Robeson and Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. to politicians Barry Goldwater and John Kerry have rallied voters to make their voices heard. Additionally, the venue has hosted choral concerts, step shows, dances, and graduations for local high schools, colleges, and universities.
Lynn Robertson, McKissick executive director, said "We hope that visitors come away from this exhibition with an appreciation for the places in our community where people have come together for generations to share experiences. Places like the Township are important sites for the American process of civic conversations—conversations about the past and present, conversations about politics, the arts, education, and even fun."
For more information about the Township exhibit at McKissick, contact Ja-Nae Epps, 803-777-2876.

A Better Connection: Long-Awaited I-5/SR-14 HOV Connector Opens
A Dedicated Team's Holiday Gift
Click on photos to enlarge and read captions.
On the afternoon of Sunday, December 23, 2012, when many people were finishing up last-minute Christmas shopping or spending time with their families, Resident Engineer Vladimir Gurfinkel was out on the new I-5/SR-14 direct HOV (high occupancy vehicle) connector, a structure so close to completion you could almost hear the traffic on it. Temperatures had hit record lows, a frigid wind had picked up, and the threat of another rain storm loomed.
But this was no time to retreat to the construction office. This was crunch time, time to do final inspections of signage and striping and reflectors, time to scrutinize every inch of the structure. The entire project was still months away from completion, but Vladimir and the rest of the construction team, including Senior RE Fred Young, were pushing hard to get this vital piece of it — the highly anticipated HOV connector — open before Christmas.
A couple weeks later, on January 11, 2013, Caltrans marked the opening of the connector with an official ribbon-cutting event attended by elected officials, representatives from transportation agencies, Caltrans Director Malcolm Dougherty, and local media.
"We wanted to open the connector in time for Christmas and New Year's travel," said Gurfinkel. "The opening date was not specified or stipulated by the contract. Caltrans and the contractors [MCM Construction and Security Paving, a Joint Venture] partnered up and worked around the clock in difficult weather conditions to get it done. We opened the connector on December 23, just in time for the holidays.
The new connector enables motorists in the carpool lane to transfer between I-5 and SR-14 without leaving the carpool lane. Benefits include improved safety, reduced congestion and better air quality. It also brings Caltrans one step closer to creating a seamless carpool lane system in District 7, which is sorely needed, given that 354,000 motorists use the interchange every day.
But that dry, fact-sheet description doesn't begin to capture the 'wow' factor. The HOV connector is 15 stories tall, nine football fields long, and arcs so gracefully and seemingly effortlessly it's hard to believe it's made of thousands of tons of concrete and steel. Stand beneath it beside the massive supporting columns and look up, and even if you have no mathematical aptitude and failed high school physics, you suddenly want to be an engineer. But getting to this point was no easy feat.
The project went through a rough patch early on when work first began in the summer of 2008. Caltrans and the contractors were learning how to work together, and suffice it to say, there were some issues that needed to be addressed before an effective partnership could emerge.
"We were committed to understanding each other's issues and resolving them at the lowest possible level," said Gurfinkel. "That allowed for a complete and successful resolution of all issues, and we were able to get back on track and build an outstanding partnership."
That strong partnership was crucial in meeting the many challenges the construction team would face. If you were looking for a miserable place to build a towering concrete structure, you couldn't do much better than the I-5/SR-14 connector location. It's smack dab in the middle of the Newhall wind tunnel, next to a railroad, in an environmentally sensitivity area, plagued by problematic access, and over I-5 — the backbone of the state's freeway system — which meant closure windows were very tight.
And then there was (surprise!) soil contamination caused by naturally occurring oil. It wasn't completely unexpected — Caltrans knew about low-level contamination that required no action. But the hillside had a dirty little secret. As excavation progressed, it quickly became clear that the problem was worse than anticipated, a change order in the making. The contaminated soil had to be safely disposed of, air quality monitored, and additional funding secured.
Crews are currently finishing up the final details: striping, signage, drainage and some electrical work. The project is scheduled to wrap up in May (though possible change orders may require a bit more time). After five years in construction, this vital link in Southern California's transportation infrastructure will serve Californians for generations to come — thanks in large part to the efforts of a construction team that embraced every challenge they encountered and found a way forward.
Eventually, the contamination challenge, like all the others this project hurled nonstop at construction staff, was overcome and the team forged ahead, building not only the connector, but multiple other improvements as well. The project also added 1.8 miles of 24/7 HOV lanes (for two-person-plus carpools) to the interchange area; constructed major (and pretty amazing) retaining walls; and widened the West Sylmar overhead bridge, the Sierra Highway undercrossing, the southbound I-5 truck route undercrossing, and the mixed-flow connectors between I-5 and SR-14.

Asylums and Prisons: Deinstitutionalization and Decarceration, Session 2
Since the early nineteenth century, carceral spaces such as asylums, prisons, and state schools have been central to U.S. governance. Yet in the twentieth century these institutions took drastically different paths, as institutions for developmental disabilities and mental health dramatically decreased and prisons became the dominant state‐run institutions. This one‐day symposium at the University of Chicago on Friday May 3, 2013, will bring together scholars from political science, law, history, sociology and disability studies to ask questions such as: How does deinstitutionalization in mental health relate to the rise of mass incarceration? How do medicalization, criminalization and technologies of surveillance intersect in the new penal state? What are the possibilities for change?
Session 2 included presentations and discussion with Michael Rembis, SUNY at Buffalo, and Liat Ben‐Moshe, University of Illinois at Chicago.

The Hype Machine
A one-stop reference point for the music blogosphere, The Hype Machine collates opinions from over 1,500 music blogs and sites and lets users 'love' their favourites (wonder where they got that idea). THM cobbles that lot together to offer a zeitgeisty barometer of what tunes are making the music-loving regions of the internet tap their feet.
As one of the longest-standing online music recommendation engines, Last.fm comes with a whiff of 21st-century nostalgia redolent of a warm vinyl crackle for the digital age. Despite the length of its teeth, its proven ability to bank the stuff you like (called scrobbling) and seek out interesting new finds based on your individual taste has spared it being relegated to a dusty box in the internet's well-stocked attic.
Imagine a virtual disco where each user gets to choose a rug-cutting avatar to represent them on the digital dancefloor. And now imagine it's not the noughties. Welcome to Plug.dj, where you can assemble friends and like-minded listeners to boogie to your DJ set. The guest list takes names from Twitter, Facebook or Google, and while it's a all a bit twee, the ability to pilfer tunes from YouTube and SoundCloud gives budding DJs free rein to mix some monster mash-ups.
Death to the record industry and its insipid outpouring of middleweight fluff. Bandcamp gives unsigned bands a platform to sell their music at their own price (often free) or to let fans pay what they want (see free). The significant database can be searched by genre or location and you can stream before you buy.
Wait! Come back! Let us explain. Myspace may have been usurped as the world's biggest social network, bu the sometime emo kids' favourite haunt has never been toppled by the likes Facebook for its online music community. New owners (including Justin Timberlake) are playing to that strength, baking in a decent new music player, unlimited streaming and recommendations. And its 42 million-strong catalogue dwarfs Spotify's puny 15 million-song effort. No wonder Myspace's fortunes are on the turn – a million new users signed up in February.

You need to watch more seahawk games man, do not base Stevens ability on the super bowl he is a top 10 TE. The pick would be E. Sims OLB.

I wouldnt call Jeramy Stevans a top 10 TE. I know he's better than he played in the superbowl but he is not some kind of big-time playmaker and this was the first season he ever had where he didn't suck balls. But yes, TE is not a position Seattle will be adressing in the first round and not even the first day for that matter.
Theres a number of picks in this draft which are just bad tho...
Arizona wont pick DeAngelo Williams. If they pick a HB, it'll be Lendale White cuz Green wants a big bruising back to use in combination with JJ, who he hasn't totally given up on yet. DeAngelo Williams is just a better version of JJ, they're the same type of player. Not a logical pick.
I think if Miami goes OT it wont be McNeil, it'll be a true LT, Jonathan Scott. The Dolphins badly need a true LT and I doubt theyd go for a mauler RT.
I dont see the Chiefs going DE. Jared Allen is an emerging star and Hicks is a very solid DE. KC needs DT, DB and WR much more.
I just cant see any way Vernon Davis falls to 26. He'll probly go top 10.
It's not terrible but the draft needs some work. Some of the picks just dont make sense and theres no way they'll happen.
Human Crack in the Flesh. Im the last of the best. One word to describe me? Spectacular, Yes.

SEATTLE -- The nation's biggest coffeehouse chain has unveiled a ready-to-drink coffee-based energy beverage in Canada. In the U.S., it has partnered with The New York Times to offer patrons free digital access to the newspaper's articles.
Called Starbucks Refreshers, the new ready-to-drink sparkling energy beverage line -- with a caffeine kick from green coffee extract -- is a canned version of the barista-prepared drink of same name introduced in Canadian Starbucks stores in summer 2012.

Former Pearl Jam exec pleads guilty to theft
Listen to Pearl Jam on iHeartRadio
A former executive with Pearl Jam's management company has pleaded guilty to stealing hundreds of thousands of dollars from the band over a four-year period.
According to the "Seattle Post-Intelligencer," prosecutors say Curtis Management's ex-CFO Rickey Charles Goodrich stole $380,000 before he was fired in September 2010.
Goodrich pleaded guilty to six counts of first-degree theft last week, which is lower than the 33 theft charges he was initially facing for using the band's credit cards for personal items and transferring money into his own accounts to pay off debts.
Prosecutors are expected to ask that Goodrich get six months behind bars when he's sentenced in February. But if he doesn't pay back the full amount he stole by then, they will likely raise the request to 14 months.

Jared Leto, U2, Alex Ebert win Golden Globes
Listen to Thirty Seconds to Mars on iHeartRadio | Listen to U2 on iHeartRadio
Jared Leto's return to acting is paying off. The Thirty Seconds to Mars frontman picked up a Golden Globe Sunday night for his role as an AIDS positive transgender woman in Dallas Buyers Club -- a role he said required a lot of transformation.
On a more serious note, Leto thanked "all the Rayons of the world" -- in reference to his character -- for the inspiration they gave him. He also thanked everyone for supporting is first movie role in six years. He said it's more than an honor to come back to this kind of love, adding that he never expected or even dreamed it.
Leto wasn't the only rocker to get a trophy at this year's Golden Globes. U2 also won the Best Original Song award for "Ordinary Love" from "Mandela: Long Walk to Freedom."
They beat out Coldplay for the award, but during the Irish rockers' acceptance speech, they thanked Coldplay's Chris Martin for helping them with their song.
Meanwhile, Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros leader Alex Ebert won for Best Original Score. The indie folk rocker's work on the film "All Is Lost" was honored over scores by film composing icons like Hans Zimmer and John Williams.

Newberry, S.C. - Jonathan Whitson blocked Ray Robinson's layup with 14 seconds left in the game and the Brevard senior forward corralled the rebound, allowing the Tornados to run out the clock as Brevard left Eleazer Arena on Wednesday night with the 61-60 win.
With the win, Brevard (14-5, 6-2 SAC) is in sole possession of first place in the South Atlantic Conference at the halfway point in the conference schedule.
Whitson led the Tornados with 20 points in the contest as the senior from Clyde, N.C. went eight of 15 from the floor and pulled down eight rebounds in the game. Josh Roper added 14 points and four steals in 35 minutes of play and Nathan Whitmire added 11 points and eight rebounds as the Tornados held the 38-26 rebound advantage in the contest. Sam Carlisle added eight points and six rebounds off the bench for Coach Jones in the game.
Ryan Barnes led Newberry (7-12, 2-6 SAC) with 20 points in the contest, going a perfect seven for seven from the field in the first half including connecting on five three-pointers to lead the scarlet and gray as Newberry went nine of 19 (47.4 percent) from behind the arc in the game. He was joined in double figures by Stephane Bakinde with 13 points and Aaron Edwards with 10. Bakinde added three blocked shots in the game as Newberry blocked seven as a team in the contest.
Newberry opened up the game with a 28-18 run on their way to a 37-29 lead at the half, led by Barnes' 19 first half points.
In the second half, the Tornados responded with a 16-8 run of their own capped by a layup by Carlisle to tie the game up at 45 with 12:49 remaining.
The teams would battle each other the rest of the way with neither able to go up by more than five as Newberry held a 52-47 lead on Edward's three-pointer on the fast break off the assist from Jeremee Davis with 9:59 to play. The Tornados cut the score back to within one on Whitson's tip-in at the 6:54 mark and would take the 53-52 lead on Roper's steal and layup less than a minute later.
The score would be knotted up one more time at 57 apiece as Jawuan Lockhart connected on the first half of a pair of free throws at the 2:23 mark, but jumpers by Whitson and Dellinger on Brevard's next two trips down the court gave the Tornados the 61-57 lead with 1:08 to play.
Edwards would connect on a three-pointer near the Newberry bench to cut the lead to within one at 61-60, and a turnover by Carlisle gave the scarlet and gray a chance to take the lead, but Whitson blocked the attempt by Robinson and snared the rebound. Newberry fouled to get the Tornados into the bonus and Dellinger took the line with three seconds on the clock, missing the first free throw in the one-and-one, but the scarlet and gray were unable to get another shot attempt off as the Tornados left with the 61-60 win.
Brevard returns to Boshamer Gymnasium as the host Mars Hill College on Saturday, January 30th. Tipoff for the game between the Tornados and Lions is scheduled for 4 p.m.

Will Newt Gingrich Be A CNN Presidential Candidate?
Days before the re-launch of CNN's Crossfire, Newt Gingrich said in an interview [1] with fellow Crossfire host S.E. Cupp that he won't rule out running for president again in 2016. When asked if he would "run again in the future," Gingrich replied [2]: "I don't know. We still have a substantial campaign debt. If we can pay it off we would seriously look [at] a 2016 run."
Gingrich has been asked at various times if he would consider running for president in 2016, and said, "It's not a no," [3] "I don't rule it out, but we're not spending any energy on it," [4] "I have no idea at this stage," [5] "It's certainly something that we're going to keep our powder dry and see how the next two years evolve," [6] "I doubt that, but one never knows." [1] In June, National Review Online quoted a Gingrich "insider" claiming [7] of a potential Gingrich bid: "There's no planning or anything like that. But these are people who are big fans of his, so a lot of them want to see him run in 2016."
Gingrich used [8] his prior Fox News employment as a springboard [9] to rehab himself with Republican voters, and position himself for a longshot bid for the Republican nomination. The New York Times noted [10] that "Gingrich's myriad appearances on Fox News over the years have been a central part of the rebirth of his political career. The television exposure, his aides believe, has allowed him to reintroduce himself to older Republicans and to introduce himself for the first time to a generation of voters who do not remember his rise nearly two decades ago." Gingrich's Fox News contract was eventually suspended as he signaled his intention to form an exploratory committee [10], and then terminated [11]all together. Then-CNN media critic Howard Kurtz -- now with Fox -- wrote [12] in The Daily Beast that Fox was allowing Republicans to "utilize the platform of the country's top-rated cable news channel, and pad their bank accounts to boot."
If Gingrich wants to bolster a president bid via Crossfire, he already has a model (though ultimately unsuccessful) in former host Pat Buchanan. As CNN noted [13] when covering the legal and media issues surrounding Gingrich's dual roles as potential candidate and Fox employee, "CNN faced similar circumstances in the 1990s with Crossfire co-host Pat Buchanan when he ran for the Republican Presidential nomination. CNN ended Buchanan's duties on the show once it was clear that he was seriously considering a presidential bid."

The OWC Data Doubler can replace an unused Apple SuperDrive with a second storage drive.
Are you a heavy storage user? Some people, like video editors, use immense amounts of storage. If you use a MacBook of almost any year or model, you can buy an OWC Data Doubler to increase your storage space to the maximum that you can possibly get inside of a MacBook without using external storage. The idea behind the OWC Data Doubler is simple - remove the unused Apple SuperDrive to make better use of the space with a second volume. In the image above, you can see how the OWC Data Doubler is made out of blue-painted steel and is structured to be shaped like the Apple SuperDrive.
Removing the Apple SuperDrive takes some patience. There are three screws that hold it into the MacBook Pro and one of them is hidden under the speaker module. The other two are completely wide open to your view. Before attempting to install an OWC Data Doubler, follow these three steps as precautions before trying to install the OWC Data Doubler to keep your computer safe:
- Touch the Apple SuperDrive to discharge any static electricity that you may be carrying.
- Using a nylon pry tool (included with OWC's Data Doubler bundle), lift up and disconnect the battery connector wire.
- Using a nylon pry tool (included with OWC's Data Doubler bundle), lift up and disconnect all data cables from the motherboard.
Next, you can start uninstalling screws to remove the Apple SuperDrive. If you're unsure of which screws to remove - you can follow OWC's guide. The thirteen inch Macbook Pro is slightly different than the fifteen and seventeen inch MacBook Pros, but the fifteen and seventeen inch MacBook Pros are the same. To view the guide for the thirteen inch MacBook Pro click this link. To view the guide for the fifteen in MacBook Pro click this link. To view the guide for the seventeen inch Macbook Pro click this link. These guides will take you step by step so that even a beginner can do this without messing up.
In the image above, you can see that my MacBook Pro thirteen inch 2011 model has a 128GB Crucial solid state drive for boot and application launch speed - but it also has the OWC Data Doubler installed with a 5400 RPM 500GB hard disk drive which I can use for media storage. I was never a user of the Apple SuperDrive, so this change was more convenient for me. It fits very snugly and OWC includes tools and special screws for installing it inside the OWC Data Doubler box.
- More Storage
- Makes Better Use of Second SATA III (SATA II in some cases) Bay
- Quieter
- No DVD/CD Support
- More Power Usage
There isn't much to say - it's a good upgrade if you need the storage and don't need a DVD/CD drive. I have noticed on several MacBook Pros that the Apple SuperDrive makes a quick grinding noise at boot up. The OWC Data Doubler doesn't make this noise - which means that you get a quieter experience. Unfortunately, because the hard disk drive requires constant power to keep the motor running, it will use more battery life. Solid state drives will use comparable amounts of power as well. The OWC Data Doubler is compatible with hard disk drives and solid state drives, so you can choose how to mix and match your options.
You can use the secondary disk for several options. One, you can dual boot on two disks instead of partitioning your main disk. Or, you can simply use it for extra storage. You can use it as a RAID storage unit with your existing disk, or you can simply use it as an internal-external hard drive that holds things so you can put them on your main drive when you need them. I personally use it as an internal-external hard drive. I think that this is a great buy and I would recommend it to anyone with a MacBook Pro. It comes in at $64.99. There are OWC Data Doublers for the iMac and Mac Mini as well - they are shaped slightly differently.

Vegas-based reporter: "real explanation" for LVRJ turnover is Reid victory
Blog ››› ››› MATT GERTZ
Earlier this evening, I pointed out that the Las Vegas Review-Journal reported that Sherman Frederick has stepped down as the paper's publisher; the same article noted that the paper's editor in chief, Thomas Mitchell, would also be stepping down. The article suggested that Frederick was reducing his responsibility due to health issues.
But Steve Friess, a Las Vegas-based freelance journalist who once worked for the Review-Journal and now often writes for Las Vegas Weekly, has a different theory, reporting on his blog that the "real explanation" is that "Harry Reid won":
An extremely knowledgable source at the paper called this move a "shakeout" and a "head slap" from the top, meaning the owners back in Arkansas. He reminded me that the Stephens family are big Washington D.C. players, with banking interests and other issues to deal with in Congress. They may have supported Republican candidates, but the over-the-top efforts by Sherm Frederick and [Review-Journal editor] Thomas Mitchell to support Sharron Angle and unrelentingly beat up on the Senate Majority Leader was exceptional. It was nasty and personal and harmed the reporters' ability to have their work taken credibly, but even more importantly, if the Stephens clan wanted to make nice with Harry Reid, the only way to do it was to get rid of Frederick and Mitchell.
In a follow-up post, Friess writes that he is "fairly confident" and has "sources that have provided some proof" that Reid's victory "played a pretty big part" in the replacement of Frederick and Mitchell.
In the lead-up to Reid's re-election, Frederick:
- Reprinted in full a GOP press release attacking Reid. Twice.
- Ran a large photo of a trailer with the words "Elect Anyone Butt Harry Reid."
- Suggested wrongdoing on Reid's part relating to former Illinois governor Rod Blagojevich's filling of his state's vacant Senate seat, for which he provided no evidence.
- Questioned whether Reid is "physically up to the job" of U.S. senator.
- Pushed Fox News' evidence-free smears to attack Reid over allegations that a former low-level staffer allegedly lied to federal investigators about her marriage -- prior to going to work for Reid's office.
In March, Media Matters' Joe Strupp reported that the papers employees as well as other journalism observers in the region have said that Frederick's commentary hurts the newspaper's image.

A second round of free weekly Utah Transit Authority passes for July disappeared in 24 hours just like the first round.
UTA and Zions Bank on Wednesday offered 1,500 free passes good for any seven consecutive days in July on buses, TRAX and FrontRunner a $50 value to people who registered at utarideclear.com. The passes had been snapped up by about 10 a.m. on Thursday. Last week, it also took a day to give away 2,500 passes.
"We're happy and excited about the response," said UTA spokesman Remi Barron. "It is something we can do to help clear the air" in a month when pollution typically is bad.
He said UTA is talking about giving away even more, if a sponsor will fund it. "We haven't made any decisions yet, but we may do more," Barron said.
The giveaways come as UTA has been struggling to increase ridership. Even though it added $1.2 billion in new rail lines in the past year, its ridership during the first four months of this year was essentially flat or down a bit from the same period a year earlier. UTA also had a fare increase in that time.
Earlier this year, Rep. Joel Briscoe, D-Salt Lake City, asked the Legislature to spend $9 million to allow everyone to ride UTA for free in July and January. He said that would allow collecting data on how free fares would increase ridership and help reduce air pollution during two of the worst months for air pollution. But budget writers did not act on his request.

Arnold School researcher featured in Graniteville disaster film
A powerful new documentary, "Graniteville: Past, Present, and Future," will be shown at 7 p.m. Saturday, July 9, at the Imperial Theater in Augusta.
The documentary, which explores the January 2005 train derailment at the Avondale Mill and subsequent chlorine gas disaster, includes an interview with University of South Carolina Professor Dr. Erik Svendsen, the principal investigator for the Graniteville Recovery and Chlorine Epidemiology (GRACE) program.
Funded by a $2.9 million grant from the National Institutes of Health, GRACE is a five-year study that will examine the lung health of community members and workers at the Avondale Mill where the train derailment occurred. Nine people died in the disaster, and hundreds more were affected by the chlorine gas spill, the largest chlorine disaster to date in the United States.
Svendsen, who received the NIH grant as an Arnold School faculty member, said "Some of our work in the public health recovery effort over the past six years was documented on film and is included in this recovery, along with some footage of interviews with me and other members of our team. The film is getting national attention."

Gender Policing and Justin Bieber

"Leave Justin Bieber alone, stop making fun of HER!"

Every single group that I listed at the start of this article has over five hundred members.

LISTEN: Azealia Banks remixes Britney Spears' 'Work B**ch'
Listen to Azealia Banks on iHeartRadio
22-year-old rapper Azealia Banks has just released a remix of Britney Spears' occupational anthem "Work B**ch." It's not a terribly surprising choice – the track gave us "212" vibes instrumentally from the first listen.
Banks sings over the song's main guitar hook, and then raps for two-and-a-half minutes without a peep from Britney. The remix finishes with Britney singing the song's bridge, which is far less memorable than its verses.

Enter the lionfish, stage left. This native of the South Pacific and Indian Oceans showed up in the Atlantic and Caribbean a decade or two ago, probably an escapee from a tropical aquarium. It's a prickly character, not the type that usually inspires dinner invitations, but sustainability-sensitive chefs like Barton Seaver want to introduce lionfish to the American table.
"This is an invasive species with no natural predator, so let's turn the most efficient predator of all on it—humans," says Seaver. "I mean, if Red Lobster would have a lionfish festival, it would be approximately three months before the problem is gone."
The problem, you see, is that lionfish don't play well with others. They eat many of their marine neighbors, hog the food supply, and scare off snorkeling tourists with their venomous spines. It's a particular problem in coral reef ecosystems, where the introduction of a single lionfish can kill off as much as 80 percent of small or juvenile native species within weeks. That's bad news for biodiversity, but it's also bad news for human seafood eaters.
As Anika Gupta explained in a Smithsonian article last year:
In the Western Atlantic, samples of lionfish stomach contents show that they consume more than 50 different species, including shrimp and juvenile grouper and parrotfish, species that humans also enjoy. A lionfish's stomach can expand up to 30 times its normal size after a meal. Their appetite is what makes lionfish such frightening invaders... Lab studies have shown that many native fish would rather starve than attack a lionfish.Since other methods of controlling or eradicating invasive lionfish populations have largely failed, scientists and U.S. fisheries experts are launching an "Eat Lionfish" campaign, and it's begun to attract interest from chefs in cities like New York and Chicago.
At the recent Smithsonian event, Seaver served up a tasty lionfish ceviche accented with almonds and endive. He compared the fish's flavor and firm texture to something "between snapper and grouper," which happen to be two of the species threatened by lionfish invasions.
You probably won't find lionfish at your local fish market, says Seaver, but keep asking for it to create a demand. (His supply was donated by the group Sea 2 Table.) And if you do come across a source, check out these recipes on Lionfish Hunter's site.
