Re: “Dance Film Sets Out to Claim Rosemont”
Now we have a bunch of dancers trying to profit over the contraversy surrounding the Rosemont Copper project.
Re: “Pedersen On Sports”
Candrea is the University of Arizona softball coach. Period! Griping about down years like this column does is disgraceful. I hope Coach Candrea ignores the drivel in this column.
Re: “Editor's Note”
@W Corvi: I'm not sure where you came up with "THOUSANDS" of awards the Arizona Press Club dishes out.
I just worked my way down through its 2013 awards booklet (link below) and it's true there are many awards, but hardly thousands. (I also found no award for that Flagstaff paper you mentioned.
The booklet is good reading.
I found myself copying out leads to award-winning pieces to read later on.
Here's the link: http://azpressclub.files.wordpress.com/201…
Re: “Editor's Note”
Did you mean to type Nogales International rather than Nogales Independent?
Been seeing big improvements there over the last few years. Worth a look now and then, online at nogalesinternational.com
Re: “Media Watch”
And what really happened THIS time to Rob Guarino at KVOA?
Re: “Noshing Around”
Bella D'Auria bit the dust and closed their doors after less than a year. A message on their web site blames the economy.
Re: “The Skinny”
If Tobin thinks it's a good idea to put Medicaid expansion on the ballot, he's wrong. I predict it will pass overwhelmingly, especially in the rural areas and southern Arizona, where people actually have a heart. Then there's Maricopa, which loves the then then, outgoing Brewer...so don't count them out, either. It's a winner, in any case. Bring it on, Tobin. I see you trying to overturn it after the next election...unsuccessfully, because me thinks there will be a Democratic Governor who will veto your butt, even if you did get the votes.
Re: “The Continuing Saga of Amy's Baking Company; No Press Conference, No PR Firm”
Actually, the day all this came down I did a cursory check at their main website and I noticed that some of their pages were indeed hacked by the usual pharmaceutical spammers (do I have to write the name of the products and get banned?).
When I looked at their site today, the offending code was gone.
I am afraid these bozos are going to use that incident and claim "See, GoDaddy says we were hacked". In reality I figured their website was hacked several years ago and they never noticed.
Re: “Editor's Note”
The Arizona Press Club gives out THOUSANDS of awards each year - to the dozen papers in AZ. So it's no surprise that each comes home with hundreds of awards. For example, the Flag Rag pulled down the coveted 'best newspaper in southwest Flagstaff'. Their subscription rate is pathetic, and when they started charging to read it on the web, NO ONE subscribed! They even quit publishing on Mondays, since there was nothing in that edition anyway. But, it still brings home hundreds of awards from the Arizona Press Club.
Re: “Danehy”
The gun nuts want to keep guns in the hands of the 'bad guys' because that is the only way they can use their guns to overcome the 'bad guys.' And thus be the 'heroes.'
Re: “Gov. Brewer Appoints New ASDB Board Members to Replace Expired Terms”
A sincere thank you for resolving that lingering ASDB dysfunction. That leaves only the community college and water district.

".....I generally enjoy Beyoncé's music. I agree with Kanye that "Single Ladies" was a superior video to whatever it was that Taylor Swift did or ever has done....."
You're sick Gibson. Suppose Michael Vick's your favorite sports personality also?
Re: “El Rio: Steve K Says Grand Canyon U Move to El Rio Not Likely”
GCU aside (there are within our fair burg many entities with bigot policies in place, so this is nothing new per se), why would Regina and the rest of M&C even begin to THINK about selling off a public asset that is widely used and enjoyed by the community (from specifically Barrio Hollywood to Tucsonans citywide more generally) without saying a peep about these plans to the impacted communities? Not even half a year ago -- http://www.tucsonweekly.com/TheRange/archives/2013/01/15/el-rio-golf-courses-future-time-for-community-input?mode=print -- TPTB were talking about making a park out of it (which wasn't universally accepted by the community -- some wanted to keep golf -- but would have at least kept the public space, you know, PUBLIC), and now they're doing a 180 and selling it into private hands when the City should be creating MORE green space not taking it away (COT's own Plan Tucson says we're "under spaced" vis-a-vis the amount of green space per capita). Lying to/ misleading the public about how public assets are managed (or not) and not even bothering to create a figleaf of public process is evil whether it's done for GCU or a company whose record on labor and human rights issues is beyond reproach. Ronstadt Center downtown, El Rio to the west, whose community is next?

Re: “The Men Who Still Make the Music”
...I'm not sure why Tucson native and current Devo drummer Jeff Friedl rarely if ever gets mentioned in the local music media. He moved to California years ago and eventually worked/works with A Perfect Circle, Ashes Divide, The Beta Machine, Devo, Carina Round, Filter and Puscifer.
