DSC 101 section W
Who Do We Remember? What Do We Preserve?
The public must decide what persons we memorialize and what buildings we preserve. How should we, as good citizens and critical thinkers, decide who we remember and who we forget—what we restore and what we destroy? How precisely should we remember the past, and what aspects of the past do we leave out of our memorials and museums? In this seminar, we will ponder these questions of public memory and historic preservation through inquiry based learning methods. We will explore Washington, D.C., Arlington, and Alexandria, an area famous for its statues, monuments, museums, historic homes, and public spaces. We will also investigate, research, document, and reclaim the neglected cemetery on Marymount's grounds, to develop our research skills and analytical powers, to perform a service to the community, and to do justice to the ordinary folks interred there and forgotten. This innovative course will get students thinking—and get them a little dirty!

Hunter won't get new trial; Reds bling for sale; Republicans sink tax cuts for low-income
Hey all. Here's the news this morning.Former Hamilton County Juvenile Court Judge Tracie Hunter won't get a new trial, a judge has ruled. Hamilton County Judge Norbert Nadel has denied all three of Hunter's motions for retrial after she was convicted last month of one of eight felony counts in relation to her time as judge. Since her conviction, three jurors have recanted their guilty verdicts, however, and Hunter's attorney has alleged procedural mistakes mean she should get a new trial. With those motions denied, Hunter will be sentenced this Friday. She plans to file an appeal on her conviction.• Cincinnati must pay Duke Energy $15 million for moving utilities that stood in the way of the streetcar, a Hamilton County judge ruled Monday. The city already had that money in escrow as it awaited the ruling but plans to appeal Judge Carl Stich's decision. That's a good move, according to former city solicitor John Curp. Curp says the way Stich decided the case — by declaring the streetcar an "economic development project" — could set a hard precedent for other Ohio cities in the future. In order for Cincinnati to avoid paying Duke to move the utilities, the project would have to be something that benefits the city's general welfare. Stich cited cases from the 1930s and the 1950s to justify his decision. Back then, public transit was run by private companies, a much different situation than today. Curp thinks the Ohio Supreme Court might have a different opinion of the streetcar and should hear the case to set a more modern precedent on transit projects.• Do you have about $6,000 just sitting around taking up valuable space that could be used to, say, store an enormous ring? Do you need a sports-themed piece of jewelry so ostentatious no one will ever question your love for America's favorite pastime? If so, I have a solution to both of your weird, unlikely problems. A Cincinnati Reds 1990 World Series ring has gone up for sale at a local auction house, and for a few grand you can make it yours. But be advised: It's not Chris Sabo or Eric Davis' ring. Heck, it's not even Glenn Sutko's, who saw action in one game that season. It belonged to one of the team's part-time accountants, who I'm sure did great work counting the Reds' money. Every position is important on a winning team. Anyway, it's big, it's red, it has the logo on it and you should buy the ring. Or, I dunno, you could buy me a nice used car instead. Up to you.• So it's no secret the state's Democratic party is hurting after last month's disastrous statewide election. Ohio Democratic Party Chairman Chris Redfern stepped down after losing his own state representative seat to a guy accused of burglary. Now there's a scramble to take his spot, and former Cincinnati city councilman and recent attorney general candidate David Pepper is a frontrunner. But he's got a challenge ahead of him in becoming the top Dem in the state: Ohio's powerful Sen. Sherrod Brown has backed one of his opponents, former candidate for lieutenant governor Sharen Neuhardt, for the job. Pepper still sees himself as a front-runner in the contest to lead Democrats in one of the country's most important swing states ahead of the 2016 presidential election. The new state chair will be decided by a vote within the party Dec. 16.• Chicago City Council voted yesterday to raise the city's minimum wage to $13 an hour over the next five years. The move was a proposal by Mayor Rahm Emanuel ahead of proposed Illinois laws that could hamstring city governments when it comes to raising minimum wages and February's Chicago mayoral election. The boost is expected to benefit about 400,000 workers in the city. Other cities like Seattle have passed similar increases recently.• Finally, Republicans have scuttled an extension on tax cuts for low-income and middle class workers while pushing bigger corporate tax breaks. The cuts were part of a $400 billion bipartisan tax deal lawmakers in Washington were working to put together. But President Barack Obama's announcement last month of an executive action allowing some undocumented immigrants to stay in the country has killed the deal as Republicans pull back from the low-income tax cuts like the Earned Income Tax Credit and double down on the corporate breaks. They say undocumented immigrants will take advantage of the EITC and other credits in large numbers and therefore can't support the cuts. Translation: Obama made us mad so we're taking the ball that keeps millions out of poverty and going home.

Tracie Hunter suspended by Ohio Supreme Court; COAST, labor unions jump on anti-toll effort; Cincinnati one of the best cities for Halloween
So it's not Monday anymore, which is a plus, but still. This week is the first week in my mission to give up caffeine and donuts. It's going to be a long, long haul. Anyway, on with the news.The city administration yesterday described in more detail a parking plan for Over-the-Rhine that's been floating around for a bit now. The plan would charge $300 a year, or $25 a month, for residents to park in the neighborhood as a way to raise funds for the streetcar. Increased rates and hours for parking meters are also part of the plan. Currently, you have to feed the meters from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. every day but Sunday. The new hours would stretch from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. Monday thru Saturday and from 1 p.m. to 9 p.m. on Sunday. Mayor John Cranley has championed the plan. Council would need to vote on the residential permit part of the plan, which would be the highest parking fee in the country if enacted. City officials stressed at the Monday Neighborhood Committee meeting that they were still in the planning phases of the proposal, that a final proposal was contingent on continued feedback from residents, and that they weren't asking for any decisions to be made yet.• It's not very often labor unions and conservative anti-tax groups get together on an issue. But it seems like proposed tolls to fund the replacement of the Brent Spence Bridge may just be the one issue that… uh oh… bridges the usually wide ideological divide (see what I did there?) Advocacy group Northern Kentucky United, which has campaigned against tolls for the Brent Spence with its "No BS Tolls" initiative, announced that both Teamsters Local 100 and the Coalition Opposed to Additional Spending and Taxes have hopped on board the effort. You may remember COAST as the folks who stamped their feet and threw a temper tantrum over Cincinnati's streetcar project. The two groups are the first Ohio organizations to support the anti-toll group, which claims to have 2,000 members. The group is totally against those BS tolls, that much we know. Less certain is what alternate proposals the group does back for the crumbling 51-year-old bridge's replacement. It will cost something like $2.5 billion to replace, and federal and state officials have said government dollars are not in the cards for the project.• Embattled Juvenile Court Judge Tracie Hunter today was suspended from practicing law by the Ohio Supreme Court, meaning she cannot practice law anywhere or represent anyone in a courtroom. Hunter was convicted on one felony count in a high-profile trial last week. Hunter was accused of forging documents, misusing a court credit card, improperly intervening for her brother, a court employee accused of punching a juvenile inmate and other charges. She was convicted on the charge she illegally gained documents for her brother, though the jury was hung on the other eight felony counts she faced. Hunter faces up to a year and a half in prison. Sentencing in the case will begin Dec. 2. • Oh man, this is terrifying. What would you do if a county prosecutor's office mistakenly put your picture in a newsletter as someone who had a recent heroin conviction? That happened to Dana J. Davis of Covington. Davis was temporarily put out of work, mistrusted by neighbors, and even shunned by family after an electronic newsletter contained his picture and a blurb that he'd pleaded guilty to a heroin charge and had been sentenced to prison time. But it was a different Dana Davis, and the Kenton County Prosecutor's office grabbed the wrong photo. Oops. Now Davis is suing over the mistake, looking to be compensated for lost wages and damage to his reputation. The prosecutor's office is arguing they shouldn't have to pay because the newsletter does a public good, and because the prosecutor's office is immune from that kind of lawsuit. The case is headed to court.• Here's something I can get behind. Cincinnati is the second best city in the country for Halloween, according to a new ranking released by lifestyle site mylife.com. The rankings took into account number of costume shops per capita (we ranked second), vacant houses (we also ranked second), local Twitter mentions of Halloween, as well as interviews with local ghosts camped out in abandoned costume shops tweeting about Halloween (not really). The rankings do give a shout out to the city's rich history, though, as well as Pete Rose for some reason. If you're curious, number one was Las Vegas. Florida and Arizona were represented heavily in the top 10, which makes sense. Both are terrifying places.• A minimum wage job in Ohio won't pay for a college education, a new story from data reporters at Cleveland.com finds. I guess the shocking news in this is that it ever did. Apparently, in 1983, you could work a minimum wage job full-time during the summers and school breaks, work ten hours a week during school, and make ends meet. That seems so quaint now! It would take a wage of $18 an hour to make that possible today, and working minimum wage will leave you more than $11,000 shy of the average tuition, room and board at a university in the state. In my day, I worked two jobs, crashed at my mom's house and commuted an hour each way my senior year, sometimes sleeping in my car, and sold blood and the rights for my first-born child to pay for my degree from Miami University. Ok, maybe not all of that, but it was kinda rough. Alls I'm saying is, kids these days should have to do the same.• A new study finds Ohio has benefited greatly from its expansion of Medicaid. More than 367,000 Ohioans are now enrolled as of August 2014, according to the report by Policy Matters Ohio. The report claims that the expansion has lowered health care costs and improved health outcomes for low-income people. You can read all the details here.

Obama lays out agenda, Ky. governor defends bridge tolls, reading ability falls with income
President Barack Obama delivered the State of the Union speech yesterday, outlining an ambitious progressive agenda that will be largely ignored and rebuked by Congress. But Obama promised at least seven major policies that he can pursue without legislators, including a $10.10-per-hour minimum wage for federal contractors and some action on global warming. Obama's full speech is viewable here, and the Republican response is available here. The Associated Press fact checked the speech here.Ky. Gov. Steve Beshear says tolls are necessary to fund the $2.6 billion Brent Spence Bridge project. Officials and executives claim the bridge replacement is necessary to improve safety, traffic and economic development through a key connector between Kentucky and Ohio, but many Kentucky officials refuse to accept tolls to fund the new bridge. But without federal funding to pay for the entire project, leading Ohio and Kentucky officials say they have no other option.There is a 32-point achievement gap in reading between Ohio's lower-income and higher-income fourth-graders, with higher-income students coming out on top. The massive gap speaks to some of the challenges brought on by income inequality as Ohio officials implement the Third-Grade Reading Guarantee, which requires most Ohio third-graders to test as "proficient" before they advance to the fourth grade. Previous studies also found Ohio's urban schools might be unfairly evaluated and under-funded because the state doesn't properly account for poverty levels.Attempting to move the Hamilton County Board of Elections offices from downtown to Mount Airy, where only one bus line runs, could provoke a lawsuit from the NAACP, Board Chairman Tim Burke, a Democrat who opposes the move, warned in an email to county commissioners. With the Board of Elections split along party lines on the issue, the final decision to move or not to move could come down to county commissioners or Republican Secretary of State Jon Husted.

Streetcar construction restarts, minimum wage hike incoming, jobless benefits to expire
Construction on the $132.8 million streetcar project restarted yesterday, marking an end to the nearly two-month drama brought on by Mayor John Cranley's election and his threats of cancellation. City Council paused the project for a little more than three weeks to conduct an audit on its costs, but the legislative body agreed to restart construction last week after receiving a signed agreement from the Haile Foundation that the philanthropic group will provide $9 million over 10 years to help pay for $3.13-$3.54 million in annual operating costs. An automatic increase on Ohio's minimum wage at the start of the new year will benefit 330,000 Ohioans, according to an analysis from the Economic Policy Institute (EPI). The higher wages should translate to a better economy for all Ohioans: EPI found the automatic increase will generate nearly $39 million in economic impact and 300 full-time jobs. Since a voter-approved measure in 2006, Ohio has been among several states who peg the minimum wage to increases in the cost of living.More than 36,000 Ohioans will lose emergency unemployment benefits for the long-term unemployed tomorrow following a lack of congressional action, according to left-leaning think tank Policy Matters Ohio. The emergency benefits were passed by Congress at the start of the Great Recession to help those hit worse by the economic downturn, but Congress failed to extend the benefits before it recessed for the holidays despite lingering signs of a weakened economy. Without the extension, Ohioans can tap into just 26 weeks of state-provided jobless aid; federally funded emergency benefits give the unemployed another 37 weeks to find work before losing government assistance.Here are CityBeat's top stories of 2013.The annual review of the two-year state budget could include income tax cuts, said Ohio's tax chief. The statement follows Gov. John Kasich's announced push for another income tax cut to help spur Ohio's slowing economy. The Republican governor signed a state budget that reduced taxes — particularly for the wealthy — earlier in the year, but Ohio's economy still slowed down in the past few months as the state unemployment rate surpassed the national rate for the first time in years.With the Ohio Supreme Court's rejection last week of a challenge to the state's federally funded Medicaid expansion, conservatives are conceding the battle is "over with" for now. Gov. Kasich pursued the federally funded expansion without approval from the General Assembly by going through the seven-member Controlling Board, but Republicans, who largely opposed the expansion of a government-run health care program from the start, fought against the board's approval in court.Gov. Kasich was "stingy" with his clemency powers during his third year in office, according to The Columbus Dispatch. Even though a review found Cintrifuse is a "Lead Applicant with strong position within SW Ohio entrepreneurial ecosystem," Ohio Third Frontier denied state tax credits for the local startup incubator because, according to the state review group, Cintrifuse maintains an unrealistic goal to scale to 60 tenants in its first year and lacks strategy or process for the incubator services, graduation focus, an adequate staffing plan and a defined tenant award process. Delta briefly provided very low air fares following a technical error yesterday.

Report: Minimum Wage Increase to Benefit 330,000 Ohioans
Advocates argue minimum wage increases spur economic growth
When Ohio's minimum wage automatically increases by 10 cents to $7.95 per hour at the start of 2014, roughly 330,000 workers will receive raises across the state, according to an analysis from the Economic Policy Institute (EPI). That could be good news for all of Ohio: EPI found the minimum wage increase will benefit the rest of the state through nearly $39 million in economic impact and 300 new full-time jobs. "Ohio workers and the Ohio economy will both benefit from this raise for our lowest-paid neighbors," said Amy Hanauer, executive director of left-leaning think tank Policy Matters Ohio, in a statement. "The employees who benefit will turn around and spend money in our communities, stimulating growth here." The automatic increase is a result of a constitutional amendment approved by Ohio voters in 2006 that hiked the minimum wage to $6.85 per hour and pegged it to rises in the cost of living. Ohio isn't alone in the increase, however. Policy Matters estimates 10 other states — Arizona, Colorado, Florida, Montana, Missouri, Nevada, Oregon, Vermont, Washington and New Jersey — automatically increase their minimum wages each year to keep up with inflation. The nationwide minimum wage hikes "will generate over $619 million in new economic activity and support creation of 4,600 new full-time jobs as businesses expand to meet increased consumer demand," according to Policy Matters. The projections come at a time progressives are working on the national stage to increase the federal minimum wage, which, at $7.25 per hour, is becoming increasingly irrelevant as Congress fails to keep up with many states' minimum wage expansions. President Barack Obama's Fair Minimum Wage Law would raise the federal minimum wage to $10.10 per hour by 2015 and — perhaps most importantly — ensure the minimum wage increases each year to keep up with the cost of living. The left-leaning National Employment Law Project estimates the hike would help 30 million Americans and help grow the economy. Opponents argue a minimum wage increase, especially one as rapid as Obama's proposal, would burden businesses with considerably higher labor costs. They argue companies would drop employees or raise prices to cope with higher expenses. Advocates typically tout a minimum wage hike as a matter of basic fairness. They claim the federal minimum wage would be $10.55 per hour today if it kept up with inflation. Meanwhile, the economics research on the effects of the minimum wage is fairly mixed. Some studies linked higher minimum wages to less employment, while other studies found no effects at all.

Morning News and Stuff
The Ohio Board of Regents has recommended banning tobacco on all school campuses. The ruling is meant to curtail students picking up smoking during college. According to the Ohio Department of Health, 40 percent of college-aged smokers began smoking or became regular smokers after starting college. Louise Nippert, Cincinnati philanthropist and art patron, died yesterday at the age of 100. Secret groups have been pumping Ohio's Senate race between incumbent Sen. Sherrod Brown and Ohio Treasurer Josh Mandel with out-of-state money in support of Mandel. Unsurprisingly, the Brown team is not happy about it. More Ohio adults are on Medicaid and Medicare, a new study has found. Ohioans are also relying less on employer-provided insurance. The numbers apparently match a nationwide movement. Yesterday, the world got its first glimpse at the suspect in the Colorado theater massacre. He had orange hair. A coalition of labor groups is getting together to push for a higher minimum wage in Ohio. They want minimum wage raised to $9.80 per hour in 2014. Penn State is getting a heavy-handed punishment from the NCAA. It seems like the occult hand of former coach Joe Paterno will continue having a heavy grip on the university's football legacy. Apparently, earth's resources aren't good enough for technology. Scientists want to use dwarf stars to improve computers in a big way.

Report a Problem With A Review
of Adirondack Pub and Brewery - Lake George, NY
Complete the form below to tell us about the problematic review for Adirondack Pub and Brewery, which says:
"A nice homey log-cabin atmosphere, inside and outside dining, and 14-15 seats at a relatively small bar. Abby the young bar lady is constantly swamped waiting on her own customers as well as the wait staff. But she does a fantastic job and barely misses a beat.
I ordered the sampler beers and started with the lightest as always. Most of the beers were average in quality and taste (hey – better than "below "average), but two of them stood out. The Fat Scotsman was the Brewer's Special and by far their best beer. It had very little nose with slight solvent notes, but with a surprisingly pleasant, warm malty palate that was very long on flavor. Very long! Their "Indian (sic) Pale Ale" was a classic pale, but not as hoppy as it should be to be an IPA. With that said, it's still a winner with its clean Cascade hop aroma and taste. When I finished the samplers I had to have another Pale.
I guess their Bear Naked Ale is their mainstay, but I'm not an Alt beer fan. The Hefe was unfiltered (which they all should be) with the appropriate banana and clove notes. The Blonde was non-descript along with the Steam (which should not be called that outside of California).
All in all this is a nice place to visit with a decent beer lineup – enough to keep the average connoisseur happy. And not being too hungry we decided to just nibble on a Spring Roll off of the appetizer menu. It turned out to be the best I've had anywhere (and biggest)!
NOTE: ONLY use this form only to report libel, slander or profanity.

كلمات أغنية The Game Feat Lil Wayne - My Life
هذه الكلمات ان شاء الله تعجبكم
[Chorus: Lil' Wayne]
And I'm grindin' til I'm tired
They say "You ain't grindin' til you tired"
So I'm grindin' with my eyes wide
Looking to find
A way
Through the day
A life
For the night
Dear Lord, you've done took so many of my people but I'm just wonderin' why
You haven't taken (my life? x3)
Like what the hell am I (doing right? x3)
(My Life x3)
[Verse 1: The Game]
Take me away from the hood like a state penitentiary
Take me away from the hood in the casket or a Bentley
Take me away
Like I overdosed on cocaine
Or take me away like a bullet from Kurt Cobain
Suicide (Suicide..suicide..)
I'm from a Windy City, like "Do or Die"
From a block close to where Biggie was crucified
That was Brooklyn's Jesus
Shot for no f**kin' reason
And you wonder why Kanye wears Jesus pieces? (My Life x3)
'Cause that's Jesus people
And The Game, he's the equal
Hated on so much, "The Passion of Christ" need a sequel
Yeah, like Roc-a-fella needed Sigel
Like I needed my father, but he needed a needle (My Life x3)
I need some meditation, so I can leave my people
They askin' "Why?" Why did John Lennon leave The Beatles?
And why every hood nigga feed off evil?
Answer my question before this bullet leave this Desert Eagle
[Chorus: Lil' Wayne]
[Verse 2: The Game]
We are not the same, I am a Martian
So approach my Phantom doors with caution (caution...caution)
You see them 24's spinnin'? I earned them
And all the pictures of me and Em, I burned them
So there ain't no proof that I ever walked through 8 Mile
And since there ain't no Proof, I never walked through 8 Mile
Sometimes I think about my life with my face down
Then I see my sons and put on that Kanye smile (My Life x3)
Damn, I know his momma's proud
And since you helped me sell my dream, we can share my momma now
And like MJB, "No More Drama" now
Livin' the +good life+, me and Common on common ground
I spit crack and niggas could drive it outta town
Gotta Chris Paul mind state, I'm never outta bounds
My life used to be empty like a glock without a round
Now my life full, like a chopper with a thousand rounds (Gunshots)
[Chorus: Lil' Wayne]
[Verse 3: Bouzish]
Yeah the time is here , and my brother is in trouble,
i look back and the other is just gone for forever..
my brother i will be here for the death,
cuz the life is hard without your faith..
my life is nothing, i do everything in my life, every time i die, everyone who i love, its more than this life..
do or die, my word is hard 4you, my lord help the world,
cuz everything is out on road..
Say what you want,
pac is true legend, thing have changed now,
but my rap is same level..
you motxerfuxxrs burn in hell,
every want to be, but now one can be the same,
that thing is not who, the thing is how,
my life is seaching that mysteri, so let me do my thang now and if you want to fuxxk with me,
than you will be hanged down...
[Verse 4: The Game]
Walk through the gates of Hell, see my Impala parked in front
The high beams on, me and the Devil share chronic blunts
Listening to the "Chronic" album, playing backwards
Shootin' at pictures of Don Imus for target practice
My mind f**ked up, so I cover it with a Raider hood
I'm from the city that made you motherf**kers afraid of Suge (Compton... Compton...)
Made my grandmother pray for good
And never made her happy, when I bet that new Mercedes could (My Life x3)
Ain't no bars, but niggas can't escape the hood
They took so many of my niggas, that I should hate the hood
But it's real niggas like me, that make the hood
Ridin' slow in that Phantom just the way I should (My Life x3)
With the top back
In my Sox hat
I'm paid in full, the nigga Alpo couldn't stop that
Even if they brought the nigga 'Pac back
I'd still keep this motherf**ker cocked back
[Chorus: Lil' Wayne]
And I'm grindin' til I'm tired
They say "You ain't grindin' til you tired"
So I'm grindin' with my eyes wide
Looking to find
A way
Through the day
A life
For the night
Dear Lord you've done took so many of my people but I'm just wonderin' why
You haven't taken (my life x3)
Like what the hell am I (doing right? x3)
(My Life x3)
(My Life x3)
(My Life x3)

Maryville University FNP Program Fall 2013 - page 8

- 0Aug 12, '13 by TashaLPN2006RN2012I was unable to find anything on the internet about their curriculum, admissions requirements etc...anyone have that link. I've applied to University of cincinnati, south university and am now considering Maryville as well...thanks
- 1Oct 29, '13 by 22muchfunQuote from Crux1024I am in my first semester and starting my second class. I am liking Maryville. I feel like my instructors provide a lot of support and want you to succeed. It is busy. A lot of reading, writing, and group work. However this is graduate school. It is suppose to challenge us. I am happy with my decision to go to Maryville over University of Cincinnati. I need to work full-time, so doing 6 credits a semester is perfect for me and my family. Loving it and living my dreams in a few years I WILL be a FNP.So, have you all started classes at Maryville and what do you think of them? I'm looking at multiple schools and just trying to gather good information.

- 1Oct 29, '13 by 22muchfunQuote from puravidaLVWhy do you want your masters? Why is it important to you? I only used a paragraph for my philosophy, but I talked about the necessity of master prepared nurses in the changing healthcare scene. With the baby boomers and more people getting access to insurance benefits, now is the time for masters prepared nurses.Anyone provide an example of their essay or a place to look. I kinda felt like my philosophy of masters prepared nursing didn't exist because well...i'm no a masters prepared nurse...

A detective tails a cool, glamorous woman around the equally glamorous San Francisco of the 1950s; his fear of heights prevents him from saving her life. Obsessed with the dead woman, he stalks, meets, and manipulates a suspiciously similar-looking, if somewhat lower-class, woman, who inexplicably falls for him even though he demands she change her identity to match his fantasy. VERTIGO is an Alfred Hitchcock masterpiece, in Technicolor as lurid as its plot. The year 1996 saw the acclaimed rerelease of a restored, remastered version. The film is based on the novel D'ENTRE LES MORTS by Pierre Boileau and Thomas Narcejac.

Katy Perry's Boobs Take Refuge in 'The Simpsons'

Following the kerfuffle that accompanied Katy Perry after her online Sesame Street segment got pulled because Katy Perry was dressed like, well, Katy Perry ("EYES UP HERE!"), the pop tart basically punched Elmo in the face by showing up on a live-action segment version of The Simpsons.
In rare form -- as puppets, that is -- and just in time for the Christmas episode, Simpsons characters met the chart-topping, doe-eyed pop star, clad in a tight latex dress featuring the faces of America's favorite animated family. After providing a ssssexy boob-squishing hug to the frigid Mr. Burns, Katy sings a Christmas carol parody with the gang. That's right, she sings! Who would've guessed?

Super CSS Selector Support with jQueryApril 19, 2009
CSS provides a wide array of selectors to specify which elements should be subject to a particular style. CSS 2.1 gives web designers even more granularity when targeting specific elements. This is great in theory. But browser support for these selectors has lagged behind, and IE6 support is limited to only the most basic selectors. This has led to most folks working in the real world stashing the more advanced selectors away for rainy-day experimentation, or idle dreams about the eventual time when we can use these tools.
Current State of Affairs
Web folks are a clever bunch, though. If browser support for CSS won't give us a way to target a particular element, a common solution is to make classes do the heavy lifting for us. Going through files to add
class="text" to every text input is an all-too-common experience for web designers.
Adding the classes allows us to target elements on all browsers, but is labor-intensive and potentially error-prone. Moreover, if your site includes content (like comments or blog posts) which will entered by users, you have no easy way to ensure those classes are added appropriately.
A Glimmer of Hope
jQuery is one of several great javascript frameworks which have burst onto the scene in the past year or so. One of the reasons jQuery has gotten a lot of attention from web designers is the way it allows you to select elements – in many cases, jQuery selectors are identical to CSS selectors. jQuery is also extremely extensible. If there's functionality you need which isn't provided by the core framework, you can easily add it via a plugin (or by extending jQuery directly).
In the course of a recent project, I used jQuery to add a
first-child class to some
<li> elements in our top navigation, to shore up IE6 CSS support without having to alter the markup. After seeing how easy jQuery made that, I realized it's be possible to write a plugin allowing any browser supported by jQuery capable of supporting all CSS 2.1 selectors. So I wrote SuperSelectors. It goes through your site's stylesheets, dynamically adding classes to elements so that even IE6 can bask in the glow of properly supporting CSS selectors like
ul li:first-child li:nth-child(odd) a:hover.
Pencils out
Before we can start to determine which elements ought to have classes added, we'll need a way to access each stylesheet being used by a given page. Fortunately, the
Now, the fact that jQuery supports CSS selector syntax comes in really handy. We can pass the matching CSS rules directly to jQuery, and add classes appropriately. Then, any browser supported by jQuery can properly target elements, even useful-but-not-broadly-supported CSS rules like
ul li:first. All we need to do to have classes added to match any of the rules in our CSS is include jQuery and the SuperSelectors plugin, and add the following javascript:
$(document).ready(function() { $(document).superSelectify(); });
This is a great start, but some of us are maintaining sites with established conventions for element classnames. Maybe you're working on an educational site, and the
child is already reserved for another context. No problem. SuperSelectors will allow custom classes to be passed in, while still providing sensible defaults. You can override any (or all) of the default classnames. If you need to alter the class attached to child elements to be
child-element, your javascript would just change to be:
$(document).ready(function() { $(document).superSelectify({childClass: "child-element"}); });
Attribution needed
What about special cases which fall outside the normal advanced selectors? Maybe we need to have styles applied conditionally, based on attributes. For example, maybe the links in your file download list should have an icon based on the extension of the file they're pointing to. CSS 2.1 allows us to target elements based on attribute values – we can even match against substrings within the attribute value, which is a perfect fit for finding the file extensions of our links. The number of potential choices for attribute selectors alone is more than we can reasonably build into a single plugin, but fortunately SuperSelectors supports arbitrary selectors through the
additionalElementHash attribute. This can be done with or without overriding the default classnames. A setup which addressed the file-type requirement mentioned above would look like this:
$(document).ready(function() { $(document).superSelectify({additionalElementHash: {jpeg: 'a[href$=".jpg"]', pdf: 'a[href$=".pdf"]', doc: 'a[href$=".doc"]', gif: 'a[href$=".gif"]', xls: 'a[href$=".xls"]', png: 'a[href$=".png"]'}}); });
A little more effort than the no-argument invocation, but that will enable matching almost any elements you can think of – you're only limited by jQuery's selector support, which is one of the best out there.
It's probably time to acknowledge the elephant in the room – specifically, the fact that IE6 only supports the
:hover pseudo-selector for anchor tags. Through the years, there have been a variety of approaches to add this in, including Peter Nederlof's whatever:hover. This is all well and good, but it'd be nice to be able to have one-stop shopping for all our CSS needs. Fortunately, jQuery makes it easy for us to add this functionality into Super Selectors. Declare your
:hover rules normally, add an equivalent rule using the
hover class, and SuperSelectors will take care of adding / removing the classnames from elements on mouseover.
Faster, faster
Things are really shaping up nicely. Any browser which jQuery supports can now use virtually any legitimate CSS selector, but we can still do better. If we know which advanced selectors our site will need to support, it seems wasteful to have to re-request all those CSS files, and then scan them for matches. In fact, on slow connections, or with sufficiently-large amount of CSS, users could see a page without the added classes for a fraction of a second, similar to the old Flash of Unstyled Content bug.
SuperSelectors makes it simple to avoid the unnecessary request/parsing overhead and display properly-classed markup right away. You just need to pass in all your selectors via the
manualSelectors attribute, as a comma-delimited list. As with everything else, it can be used solo or in combination with any other arguments.:
$(document).ready(function() { $(document).superSelectify({childClass: "child-element", manualSelectors: 'div.example > ul, ul.sample li:first, input[type="text"], input[type="password"]'}}); });
For complex CSS needs, this may require a fair amount of work. However, this approach saves us from having to re-request and parse all the CSS files in use. Consequently, it will be much faster – especially for sites with large (or large numbers of) CSS files. Check out the example.
One caveat
SuperSelectors does a lot to help enable better CSS selector support across browsers, but it can't do everything for us. We still need rules in our CSS which use the classes SuperSelectors will add.
Because Internet Explorer will discard the entire rule if it doesn't understand one of the selectors, we do have to do a little duplication in our CSS. That means that, instead of
div.example > ul, div.example ul.child { background: #0f0; color: #f0f; }
You should write:
div.example > ul { background: #0f0; color: #f0f; } div.example ul.child { background: #0f0; color: #f0f; }
In Closing
The goal of SuperSelectors is to make it possible for all of us to start using CSS 2.1 selectors in our everyday work. It doesn't have CSS3 support (yet), but SuperSelectors will automatically benefit as jQuery adds support for CSS3 selectors.
You can download SuperSelectors as a zip or tarball. Github also hosts the official SuperSelectors repository, if you're interested in helping make SuperSelectors even better.

this is *awesome*. nice work chris!
Good write up, Chris. This looks like it will be really useful :)
Chris!! Thanks so much for this! This is really going to come handy. I have to agree, this is an awesome write-up. I'm pimpin' this one out fo sho'! :-D
Chris, your Super CSS Selector looks great! I was worrying about how to accomplish this very task when I found your page.
Unfortunately I can't use GPL 3 licenses in my project. Would you consider a commercial license version?
Maybe I'm mental, but this is totally not working at all for me. Can you please show a simple example of how to implement this.
For example, if my CSS is this:
#nav ul li:first-child {
and I attach super selctor js and jquery before it:
and then put this function in:
$(document).ready(function() {
No in IE6 my first-child pseudo class should work? Is that right? Did I miss something?
This plugin looks amazing, however, I'm getting this error within FF using jquery 1.3.2: uncaught exception: Syntax error, unrecognized expression: >
Will this also accommodate multiple class selectors in IE6?
One of the biggest drags in supporting IE6 is having to bloat the CSS with unique class names:
I'd much rather use:
.myButton.big but IE6 can't support this.
I've been trying to come up with a solution via jQuery but haven't thought of one yet. This plugin looks great, but I didn't see a mention of multi-class support.
Yes, it helps. I've used that technique before, albeit manually.
Indeed, it helps de-clutter the HTML, but as you state, one still has a cluttered CSS file.
As of now, I think I'm going to grin and bear it. If we're supporting IE6, then we're just going to have to deal with bloated CSS. Hopefully that'll be yet-another-argument to drop IE6 support soon.
One can hope. ;o)
Just letting you know there's another discussion about this idea here:
@chris I don't remember what was going on before, but I tried it on a new project and I have pseudo selectors in ie now. So awesome, thank you!
Can get this to work, but it seems to be stripping all my css background-images out in IE (at least, when I preview the file locally)!?
Also, I tend to pull in CSS using:
@import "../assets/css/layout.css";
but it doesn't work when I do this.
Any thoughts? Thanks :)
Chris, I suggest you edit the post to remove the "caveat" part. I almost disregarded your script because of that (before reading the comments).
RE: IE Mac, it's not being used anymore, I think. But from an accessibility standpoint, a lot of people hides some or all CSS from it, to make the content at least readable and navigable by the small % of people using it.
Hi Chris,
I second the motion for a updated article incorporating all the changes. A few examples in the README file would be a great help.
I am having much trouble getting this to work. Doesn't this example have one too many/few right/left curley brackets?
$(document).ready(function() {
$(document).superSelectify({childClass: "child-element", manualSelectors: 'div.example > ul, ul.sample li:first, input[type="text"], input[type="password"]'}});
From reading the code, I didn't notice anything for :before. Is it supported?
After several attempts, I did get manualSelectors working. I copied the linked.html file and modified the bottom so it looks like this:
// ul {background: #c2f060;color: #5d5f2e;}\n\
#ex12 div.example input[type="text"] {background: #c2f060;border: 1px solid #c2f060;color: #5d5f2e;}\n\
#ex13 div.example input[type="password"] {background: #c2f060;border: 1px solid #c2f060;color: #5d5f2e;}\n\
#ex14 div.example input[type="radio"] {background: #c2f060;border: 1px solid #c2f060;color: #5d5f2e;}\n\
#ex15 div.example input[type="checkbox"] {background: #c2f060;border: 1px solid #c2f060;color: #5d5f2e;}\n\
#ex16 div.example input[type="file"] {background: #c2f060;border: 1px solid #c2f060;color: #5d5f2e;}\n\
#ex17 div.example input[type="button"] {background: #c2f060;border: 1px solid #c2f060;color: #5d5f2e;}\n\
#ex18 div.example input[type="image"] {background: #c2f060;border: 1px solid #c2f060;color: #5d5f2e;}\n\
#ex19 div.example input[type="reset"] {background: #c2f060;border: 1px solid #c2f060;color: #5d5f2e;}\n\
#ex20 div.example input[type="submit"] {background: #c2f060;border: 1px solid #c2f060;color: #5d5f2e;}\n\
#ex21 div.example a[href$=".jpg"] {background: #c2f060;color: #5d5f2e;}\n\
Is the above the way you would have coded it?
I did find an oldish plugin called pseudo that supports :before and :after.

Standoff Between Italy and India Ends
By Harold Hutchison
Two Italian Marines will face murder charges in India as the result of a diplomatic settlement ending a standoff that emerged from the deaths of two Indian fishermen in waters off the southwestern coast of India.
The incident occurred while the marines were guarding an Italian ship against pirates. The Italian Marines had returned to Italy to vote in the country's election, then the government had announced they would remain there. The Indians responded by barring Italy's ambassador from leaving the country.
The resolution of the diplomatic crisis is being used by the ruling Congress Party to bolster its political standing.
