Herald News Online v. Print

I usually read the online edition of the Herald News, however, today I read both the print edition and the online edition. I was concerned to find the online and print versions of an article differed. The print edition of the article about the Bob Correia's forum last night completely cut off the last two paragraphs that follow:

"Stefani Koorey, involved in the city’s art and history scenes, jumped at a chance to ask what Correia meant earlier in the forum when he said he let managers run their departments because he was not qualified to. 'What are you qualified for?' she asked.

The mayor said he doesn’t know how to run a police or fire department but that he can do his own job well. 'I never said I wasn’t qualified to run this city'.”

Did the Herald run out of space in the paper? Or, are they purposely excluding material from the print version of the paper? I'm a little concerned that there are 2 different versions of the newspaper.

Speaking of fat, gassy windbags, how about that Mayor Correia? Time to vote him out. Too bad we can't vote out all those radio station folks who make excuses over and over again for his mismanagement.

Maybe the HN knows it is playing to a different crowd online and panders to them.

from the sterile snooze

"According to the not-yet- approved draft minutes of the June 8 meeting, the Committee segwayed from executive session to open session at 8:10 p.m., when the appointment of Stanton was approved. But both Graham and Carreiro said the vote never happened in open session, only in exectuvie session — a violation of the open meeting law."

"Segwayed?" Exectuvie?" Nice Job Sterile Loser. BTW, this is the same "reporter" who keeps writing about his man crush on the Ribeiro convict

I have a "Stop Bob" sign on my property. My trash day is Tuesday. It's still out there,despite calls to DPW. They said they were "aware" and "on it". Hmmmmm.

I used to work for the herald doing layouts of the ads and text on computer. If the articles ran over the space given around the ads (the paper is actually laid out a day in advance with all the ads placed, then whatever room is left over is for text) the text was played with by tracking and kearning. If that didn't work then it went to the editor to selectively reduce the story to fit in its space.

So, most likely that's what happened here.

"The $40 million facility was built over the last year and a half and went online just more than a month ago. The pilot facility uses a catalytic process known as "hydromenthanation," which converts coal and converts it into natural gas."

First, it's "hydromethanation." Also, "converts coal and converts it into natural gas?" WTF does that mean?
The Sterile Snooze gets nothing right!
