Vim it. Crazy, huh? I finally took the time to learn me some back references. To use those back references separately, I discovered groups. The escaped parens are the group boundaries.

Enquirer to shrink, move printing to Columbus

Mon, 19 Dec 2011 23:17:43 -0500

Enquirer to shrink, move printing to Columbus:

taestell:

Although previously announced in August, it’s now official that the Cincinnati Enquirer will close its Cincinnati printing plant, laying off 200 employees, and move printing operations to the Columbus Dispatch’s plant.

Gannett, of course, glossed over these details and chose to tout the new “easy-to-use format” coming soon to the Enquirer. Although the new format will allow for more use of color, it will shrink to just 10 1/2 by 14 2/3 inches.

To me, an “easy-to-use format” would consist of an improved website, RSS feeds, and perhaps a good iPhone/iPad app. Of course, these would only be relevant if I were interested in the Enquirer’s content.

The Enquirer frequently publishes anti-city attack pieces, often bordering on absurdity, in an attempt to cater to its largely suburban readership. The closure of their printing plant is another strike to a city they don’t care about and have no desire to serve.

The winning quote goes to Jake Mecklenborg:

I can’t wait for the first time I-71 is shut down by snow and no old people get their papers.

Sun, 27 Nov 2011 10:51:01 -0500

jayparkinsonmd:

Simply put, there has been a profound structural shift — a reversal of what took place in the 1950s, when drivable suburbs boomed and flourished as center cities emptied and withered.

The shift is durable and lasting because of a major demographic event: the convergence of the two largest generations in American history, the baby boomers (born between 1946 and 1964) and the millennials (born between 1979 and 1996), which today represent half of the total population.

Many boomers are now empty nesters and approaching retirement. Generally this means that they will downsize their housing in the near future. Boomers want to live in a walkable urban downtown, a suburban town center or a small town, according to a recent survey by the National Association of Realtors.

The millennials are just now beginning to emerge from the nest — at least those who can afford to live on their own. This coming-of-age cohort also favors urban downtowns and suburban town centers — for lifestyle reasons and the convenience of not having to own cars.

Over all, only 12 percent of future homebuyers want the drivable suburban-fringe houses that are in such oversupply, according to the Realtors survey. This lack of demand all but guarantees continued price declines. Boomers selling their fringe housing will only add to the glut. Nothing the federal government can do will reverse this.

This is great news. Changing the environment around you to make health easy will do much, much more than expecting the medical world to save your life with handfuls of pills.

Daredevil of the Day: David J. Ellis — organizer of the world’s most naked roller coaster ride — shoots down an alpine slide (Sommerrodelbahn) in Mieders, Austria, without pulling the brake lever once.

Needless to say, this sort of thing is generally frowned upon. But it does make for one hell of a ride.

““Lazy hippies” has become shorthand for “I don’t want to address what protestors are trying to draw attention to, so I will just label them with some trite expression that hasn’t had any relevance in 40 years.””
