Fox Throws Kitchen Sink Full Of Falsehoods At Obama On Day Before Election
Fox News revealed its closing argument against President Obama, which consisted of a falsehood-laden attack on the president's record.
Fox Claims "True Unemployment" Is Higher Than 7.9 Percent
Charles Payne: "True Unemployment" Number Includes "People Working Part-Time." Fox Business' Charles Payne called the official 7.9 percent unemployment rate "a little bit skewed." Payne instead pointed to an alternate measure of employment, the so-called "U-6" number, which includes some part-time workers and adults who are no longer in the workforce. Payne claimed the "true unemployment" number included the "official unemployed" and "people working part-time, but they don't want to work part-time":
CHARLES PAYNE: Let's talk about true unemployment, what the real unemployment picture is. Because that whole 7.9 percent thing is a little bit skewed. This is the magic number that Mitt Romney talked about in the first debate that really propelled him into, you know, to this tie with the president. Official unemployed: 12 million people. People working part-time: but they don't want to work part-time" Over 8 million. And people marginally attached. They're not really actively looking for a job but if someone called them up they'd run out in a heartbeat: 23 million. Layer on top of that in the last four years 8 million people who have actually quit the jobs market, and that's where you get the unemployment number being somewhat skewed.
My proposal really is that eventually I'd like us to have one set number that we match, like it's 65.5 percent unemployment participation rate. If that were the case the unemployment number, the unofficial number would be something like 10 and a half, 11 percent. So, you know, it's still abysmal.
Fox & Friends First aired the following chart, titled "True October 2012 Unemployment":
[Fox News, Fox & Friends First, 11/5/12]
But The "True Unemployment" Numbers Are Not What Fox Claims
The Bureau of Labor Statistics Does Not Consider Part-Time Workers Unemployed
BLS Spokesman: U-6 Is Not An "Unemployment Rate" Because It Includes People Who Are Employed Part-Time. In February, FactCheck.org quoted a Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) spokesman who explained that "the agency does not refer to U-6" as an unemployment rate, instead using the official number which "has been calculated the same way for decades":
Romney calls the U-6 number the "real unemployment rate," but BLS spokesman Gary Steinberg said the agency does not refer to U-6 as any kind of "unemployment rate," real or otherwise, because it includes people who are employed, albeit part-time. The U-3 figure is the "official unemployment rate," Steinberg said, and has been calculated the same way for decades. [FactCheck.org, 2/10/12 [1]]
Wash. Post's Ezra Klein: "U6 Is Not An Unemployment Measure. It Includes Part-Time Workers." In a blog post published on October 5, The Washington Post's Ezra Klein pointed out that the U-6 number published by the Bureau of Labor Statistics, which includes part-time workers, "is not an unemployment measure because it includes part-time workers who want full time employment":
U6 is not an unemployment measure. It includes part-time workers who want full-time work. So it doesn't count the increase in part-time work. But every measure of actual unemployment -- U1, U2, U3, U4, and U5 -- went down. You can see them all here. Again, there's no mystery. [The Washington Post, WonkBlog, 10/5/12 [2]]
The Number Of Part-Time Workers Fell In October
BLS: "The Number Of Persons Employed Part Time For Economic Reasons" Fell In October. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, the number of "involuntary" part-time workers fell in October:
The number of persons employed part time for economic reasons (sometimes referred to as involuntary part-time workers) fell by 269,000 to 8.3 million in October, partially offsetting an increase of 582,000 in September. These individuals were working part time because their hours had been cut back or because they were unable to find a full-time job. [Bureau of Labor Statistics, 11/2/12 [3]]
Wall Street Journal: "In October, The Number Of Part-Time Workers Who Would Like Full-Time Jobs Tumbled By 269,000." The Wall Street Journal reported that "it's likely that most of part-timers were able to find full-time positions" in October:
In October, the number of part-time workers who would like full-time jobs tumbled by 269,000. That came after a big surge in September. The decline in the number of workers part-time for economic reasons could come from them either losing their jobs or finding full time work. But considering the very modest uptick in the number of unemployed, it's likely that most of part-timers were able to find full-time positions. [The Wall Street Journal, Real Time Economics, 11/2/12 [4]]

Fox Repeats The Falsehood That Repealing Health Care Reform Act Could Lead To Increased Hiring
Fox's Lauren Simonetti: Repealing The Affordable Care Act Could "Be Good In Fact For Many Workers." Fox's Lauren Simonetti hinted that repealing the Affordable Care Act could positively affect hiring:
HEATHER CHILDERS (co-host): Mitt Romney if he gets in office, he promises that he's going to repeal Obamacare, the health care law. And that could change how some hiring is done.
LAUREN SIMONETTI (Fox Business reporter): Yeah, and that could be good in fact for many workers because while the new health care law says: Give anyone working at least 30 hours a week health insurance or pay a fee. Many bosses are doing neither. Instead, they are cutting back the hours giving their employees. And this is being seen mostly in the restaurant, retail, and hotel businesses. Already CKE Restaurants -- Carls Jr. -- and Darden Restaurants the owner of Red Lobster and Olive Garden they've shifted their hiring plans. But many more are expect to do so if Obama does win tomorrow's election. [Fox & Friends First, 11/5/12]
But Studies Say Health Care Reform Will Not Harm Employment
Urban Institute: Affordable Care Act "Will Not Have [A] Noticeable Effect On Net Levels Of Employment." In a report released on March 21 examining how the Affordable Care Act "will impact labor costs and the demand for labor," the Urban Institute concluded:
[T]he ACA will not have [a] noticeable effect on net levels of employment for three reasons -- (1) the net new expenditures are too small relative to the overall size of the economy; (2) the negative effects on jobs of Medicare premium cuts and new taxes will be offset by the expansion of coverage through Medicaid and income related subsidies that will likely increase employment; and (3) the new law will not affect the most firms either because they already provide private insurance that meets federal standards or they are exempt from the new requirements because they employ fewer than 50 workers. [Urban Institute, "How Will the Affordable Care Act Affect Jobs?" 3/21/11 [6]]
Urban Institute: "Cost-Containment Provisions In The ACA Will Boost The Economy And Employment Over Time." In addition, the report pointed out:
There are many cost-containment measures in the ACA, and other proposals could build on those measures if adopted. Cost containment would have somewhat opposite effects than the effects of coverage expansion. To the extent the cost-containment efforts are successful, they will reduce the growth in health care costs. This will reduce the demand for labor as well as incomes in the health care sector, but it will increase the discretionary income that individuals and families have to spend elsewhere. Thus, if these efforts are successful, there will be additional spending outside the health sector that will increase demand for labor in other sectors.
Curtailing the growth in health care costs will mean lower costs for businesses and individuals. The CEA [Council of Economic Advisers] has estimated that reducing the growth in health care costs by 1 percentage point per year would result in a 4.0 percent higher GDP by 2030,21 due to a higher national savings rate, more capital formation and higher output. Faster growth in GDP would mean more jobs, lower unemployment, and higher family incomes.
Cost-containment efforts, if successful, will have somewhat opposite effects, reducing the growth in spending on Medicare and Medicaid, which will reduce the taxes or borrowing the federal government has to undertake. Cost-containment that reduces the federal budget deficit would result in faster economic growth, more employment and higher family incomes. Cost-containment would also free up private dollars to be spent in non-health areas of the economy. [Urban Institute, "How Will the Affordable Care Act Affect Jobs?" 3/21/11 [7]]
MIT Economist: The Affordable Care Act Will Result In More Hiring In The Short Term And Likely "Boost The Economy" In The Long Run. MIT Economist Jonathan Gruber, who consulted with the Obama administration over the Affordable Care Act, wrote that the Affordable Care Act will create jobs in the medical profession and lead to an increase in consumer spending, which will "provide short-run stimulation to the economy and more hiring" and may "greatly improve the economy in the long run":
Forget death panels. Lately critics of the Affordable Care Act have been promoting a different claim--that "Obamacare" is a job-killer. Specifically, they say, it will stifle the economy with regulations and taxes. But the economic literature doesn't support this claim. If anything, it suggests the opposite: The Affordable Care Act will boost the economy.
By now, most people who follow politics know that the law will result in more than 30 million additional Americans getting health insurance. But what few realize is that, by expanding insurance coverage, the law will also increase economic activity. These newly insured individuals will demand more medical care than when they were uninsured. And while it takes many years to train a family physician or nurse practitioner, it doesn't take much time to train the assistants and technicians (and related support staff) who can fill much of this need. In many cases, these are precisely the sort of medium-skill jobs that our economy desperately needs -- and that the health care sector has already been providing, even during the recession.
More immediately, the increase in economic security for American families will also mean an increase in consumer spending. Many uninsured consumers are forced to set aside money in low interest liquid accounts to make sure they have enough to cover unexpected medical costs. With the security provided by health insurance, they can free that money up for consumption that is much more valuable to them. When the federal government expanded Medicaid in the 1990s, my own research has shown, the newly insured significantly increased their spending on consumer goods. More purchases of consumer goods will provide short-run stimulation to the economy and more hiring.
In sum, we know that the ACA will increase jobs in the medical sector in the short run, above and beyond any partial offsets from new excise taxes on that sector. We know that the ACA will improve the functioning of our labor market in the medium run, by allowing workers to move to the positions in which they are most productive and satisfied. We know that there will be little economic drag from taxes on the wealthy or the small equity payments imposed on employers. And there is a good chance that the ACA will greatly improve the economy in the long run by controlling the rate of health care cost increase. The choice between protecting our most vulnerable citizens and improving our economy is a false one--fully implementing the ACA will make both our citizens and our economy more secure.

Fox Pushed Bogus Comparison Of Obama And Reagan Recoveries From Recession
Fox Contributor: "No Doubt" Obama Inherited Bad Economy, "But So Did Ronald Reagan." Conservative columnist and Fox News contributor Deroy Murdock said on Fox & Friends that he gives Obama a "D" on the economy because, he "got a bad hand, no doubt, but so did Ronald Reagan, Reagan inherited a real mess after Jimmy Carter But he turned around and fixed it and improved it. Unfortunately for Obama, he definitely was handed a mess by big-spending G.W. Bush, and unfortunately he just made it worse." [Fox News, Fox & Friends, 11/5/12]
But Economists Say Reagan-Era Fixes Can't Work This Time
Federal Reserve Interest Rate Cuts Were The Catalyst For The Reagan-Era Recovery
CBO: "Lower Interest Rates After Mid-1982 Permitted The Recovery To Begin." An August 1983 Congressional Budget Office (CBO) report concluded that the recession under Reagan was caused by efforts to reduce inflation, and that the recovery was initiated by lowering interest rates:
The Economy At Mid-1983
Recovery started in December 1982 from the deepest postwar recession, the second of two since 1980. Both recessions were brought on by monetary restriction aimed at bringing inflation under control. Lower interest rates after mid-1982 permitted the recovery to begin. Real GNP grew at a 2.6 percent annual rate in the first quarter and at an 8.7 percent annual rate in the second quarter of 1983. [Congressional Budget Office, 8/1/83 [11]]
Even An Economist Who Worked For Reagan Suggested Interest Rate Cuts Drove The Economic Recovery. Michael Mussa, a member of Reagan's Council of Economic Advisers, wrote in an essay for American Economic Policy in the 1980s that when the Federal Reserve cut the discount rate a half percentage point on July 20, 1982, it signaled "the beginning of what would become a four-and-a-half-year period of quite rapid monetary expansion. During this period, interest rates, both short and long term, would be driven significantly lower, and the U.S. economy would substantially recover from the devastation of both inflation and recession." [American Economic Policy in the 1980s, 1995 [12]]
Former CBO Director: Fed's Actions In '80s "Laid The Groundwork For A Very Rapid Recovery." Rudolph Penner, who directed the Congressional Budget Office during part of the Reagan administration, was quoted by CNNMoney explaining that the Fed's actions to lower inflation during the Reagan administration "was extremely successful" and "laid the groundwork for a very rapid recovery":
The recession of the early 1980s was caused by runaway inflation, which the Federal Reserve countered by hiking interest rates. When inflation dropped, the Fed lowered rates and a massive economic boom resulted.
"The monetary policy run by [Fed chairman] Paul Volcker was extremely successful," said Rudolph Penner, a former director of the Congressional Budget Office. "When inflation went away, that laid the groundwork for a very rapid recovery."
The major causes of the recession that started in December 2007 were a banking crisis and housing bubble that exploded during President George W. Bush's final months in office. Plus, interest rates were already low heading into the recession. [CNNMoney, 2/6/12 [13]]
But The Fed Has Already Cut Interest Rates To Zero, So That Fix Won't Work Now
Krugman: "Right Now, The Interest Rate Is Zero. The Fed Can't Rescue Us This Time." During the February 6, 2009, edition of MSNBC's Morning Joe, Krugman noted: "In 1982, when the economy was deeply depressed, the Federal Reserve said, 'OK, we've got to do something about this,' and they cut interest rates from 13 percent to around 7 percent and the economy took off." Krugman continued: "Right now, the interest rate is zero. The Fed can't rescue us this time, and that's why we can't do the things we did in the '80s. We have to have an approach that harks back to the things that worked very well in the first four years of the New Deal until Franklin Roosevelt was persuaded to go orthodox all over again." [MSNBC, Morning Joe, 2/6/09 [14], via Media Matters]
Reagan Economist Bartlett: Reagan Solution "Wouldn't Work Today." Reagan and H.W. Bush economist Bruce Bartlett wrote that "the economic expansion of the 1980s was powered by a combination of tax cuts, falling inflation, and lower interest rates," and explained that since income tax rates "are at a historic low" and inflation and and interest rates are virtually zero, "there is no possibility of replicating the experience of the early 1980s because economic and financial conditions now are virtually 180 degrees opposite from what they were then." He continued:
Making economic policy is not like making cookies and you can't use a cookie-cutter approach. Policies need to be crafted to the circumstances. I believe Reagan's policies were appropriate to the economic conditions of the early 1980s. Today's economic problems require a very different set of policies. [Capital Gains and Games, 8/13/11 [15]]

Fox Claims Obama Has Not Tried To Be Bipartisan

STEVE DOOCY: [Romney is] promising that if he is elected, he'll bring people together from both sides. There will be bipartisanship.
GRETCHEN CARLSON: [Obama has] also said that he would work together and cross the aisle in the next four years --
DOOCY: Yeah, forget about those current two years.

BRIAN KILMEADE: The stimulus package didn't get one Republican vote.
CARLSON: That's true. [Fox News, Fox & Friends, 11/5/12]
But It Is Republicans, Not Obama, Who Are To Blame For Partisan Gridlock
Obama Legislation Has Had Bipartisan Support, Incorporated Republican Ideas
Obama's Stimulus Plan Received Republican Votes. The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act, also known as the stimulus, passed with 61 votes in the Senate, including three Republicans, Sens. Olympia Snowe (ME), Susan Collins (ME), Arlen Specter (PA) who was a Republican at the time. [Senate Roll Call, 2/10/09 [18]]
Obama: "When You Say I Ought To Be Willing To Accept Republican Ideas On Health Care, Let's Be Clear: I Have." From remarks made by the president at his January 29, 2010 meeting with House Republicans:
This is a big problem, and all of us are called on to solve it. And that's why, from the start, I sought out and supported ideas from Republicans. I even talked about an issue that has been a holy grail for a lot of you, which was tort reform, and said that I'd be willing to work together as part of a comprehensive package to deal with it. I just didn't get a lot of nibbles.
Creating a high-risk pool for uninsured folks with preexisting conditions, that wasn't my idea, it was Senator McCain's. And I supported it, and it got incorporated into our approach. Allowing insurance companies to sell coverage across state lines to add choice and competition and bring down costs for businesses and consumers -- that's an idea that some of you I suspect included in this better solutions; that's an idea that was incorporated into our package. And I support it, provided that we do it hand in hand with broader reforms that protect benefits and protect patients and protect the American people.
A number of you have suggested creating pools where self-employed and small businesses could buy insurance. That was a good idea. I embraced it. Some of you supported efforts to provide insurance to children and let kids remain covered on their parents' insurance until they're 25 or 26. I supported that. That's part of our package. I supported a number of other ideas, from incentivizing wellness to creating an affordable catastrophic insurance option for young people that came from Republicans like Mike Enzi and Olympia Snowe in the Senate, and I'm sure from some of you as well. So when you say I ought to be willing to accept Republican ideas on health care, let's be clear: I have. [WhiteHouse.gov, 1/29/10 [19]]

Republicans Plotted Since Obama's 2009 Inauguration To Block His Policies
Republicans Held Secret Meeting On How To Block Obama's Agenda On The Very Day He Was Inaugurated. Journalist Robert Draper reported that on the day of Obama's inauguration, Republicans in Congress and conservative strategists held a secret meeting in which they plotted ways to "put the brakes on Obama's legislative platform." Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich told the group: "You'll remember this as the day the seeds of 2012 were sown":
As President Barack Obama was celebrating his inauguration at various balls, top Republican lawmakers and strategists were conjuring up ways to submarine his presidency at a private dinner in Washington.
The event -- which provides a telling revelation for how quickly the post-election climate soured -- serves as the prologue of Robert Draper's much-discussed and heavily-reported new book, "Do Not Ask What Good We Do: Inside the U.S. House of Representatives."
According to Draper, the guest list that night (which was just over 15 people in total) included Republican Reps. Eric Cantor (Va.), Kevin McCarthy (Calif.), Paul Ryan (Wis.), Pete Sessions (Texas), Jeb Hensarling (Texas), Pete Hoekstra (Mich.) and Dan Lungren (Calif.), along with Republican Sens. Jim DeMint (S.C.), Jon Kyl (Ariz.), Tom Coburn (Okla.), John Ensign (Nev.) and Bob Corker (Tenn.). The non-lawmakers present included Newt Gingrich, several years removed from his presidential campaign, and Frank Luntz, the long-time Republican wordsmith. Notably absent were Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) and House Minority Leader John Boehner (R-Ohio) -- who, Draper writes, had an acrimonious relationship with Luntz.
For several hours in the Caucus Room (a high-end D.C. establishment), the book says they plotted out ways to not just win back political power, but to also put the brakes on Obama's legislative platform.
"If you act like you're the minority, you're going to stay in the minority," Draper quotes McCarthy as saying. "We've gotta challenge them on every single bill and challenge them on every single campaign."
"You will remember this day," Draper reports Newt Gingrich as saying on the way out. "You'll remember this as the day the seeds of 2012 were sown." [The Huffington Post, 4/25/12 [24]]

Congressional Experts: Republicans Are "At The Core Of The Problem" Of A Dysfunctional Washington. In an April 27 Washington Post op-ed, Brookings Institution senior fellow Thomas E. Mann and American Enterprise Institute scholar Norman J. Ornstein stated that Washington politics are more dysfunctional than they had ever witnessed and "the core of the problem lies with the Republican Party":
We have been studying Washington politics and Congress for more than 40 years, and never have we seen them this dysfunctional. In our past writings, we have criticized both parties when we believed it was warranted. Today, however, we have no choice but to acknowledge that the core of the problem lies with the Republican Party.
The GOP has become an insurgent outlier in American politics. It is ideologically extreme; scornful of compromise; unmoved by conventional understanding of facts, evidence and science; and dismissive of the legitimacy of its political opposition.
When one party moves this far from the mainstream, it makes it nearly impossible for the political system to deal constructively with the country's challenges.
"Both sides do it" or "There is plenty of blame to go around" are the traditional refuges for an American news media intent on proving its lack of bias, while political scientists prefer generality and neutrality when discussing partisan polarization. Many self-styled bipartisan groups, in their search for common ground, propose solutions that move both sides to the center, a strategy that is simply untenable when one side is so far out of reach.

Fox Repeated Right-Wing Canard That Obama Went On An "Apology Tour"
Fox's Doocy: President Obama "Went On That Apology Tour." During a discussion about veterans' support for the presidential candidates, Fox & Friends co-host Steve Doocy said active-duty military personnel are "upset that the President of the United States initially went on that apology tour." [Fox News, Fox & Friends, 11/5/12 [31]]
Reality: There Was No "Apology Tour"
Associated Press: "Obama Has Not Apologized For America." The Associated Press has written that Obama "never made" any apologies and added:
ROMNEY: "A few months into office, he traveled around the globe to apologize for America."
THE FACTS: Obama has not apologized for America. What he has done, in travels early in his presidency and since, is to make clear his belief that the U.S. is not beyond reproach. He has told foreigners that the U.S. at times acted "contrary to our traditions and ideals" in its treatment of terrorist suspects, that "America has too often been selective in its promotion of democracy," that the U.S. "certainly shares blame" for international economic turmoil and has sometimes shown arrogance toward allies. Obama, whose criticisms of America's past were typically balanced by praise, was in most cases taking issue with policies or the record of the previous administration, not an unusual approach for a new president -- or a presidential candidate. Romney's actual point seems to be that Obama has been too critical of his country.
But there has been no formal -- or informal -- apology. No saying "sorry" on behalf of America. [Associated Press, 6/3/11 [32]]
PolitiFact Has Repeatedly Labeled "Ridiculous" Apology Claim "False." PolitiFact has repeatedly labeled Romney's claim that Obama "apologized" for America "false," saying "it's a ridiculous charge." [PolitiFact, 9/22/11 [33], 1/20/12 [34]]
Wash. Post Fact Checker: "The Apology Tour Never Happened." The Washington Post's Glenn Kessler gave the repeated charge that Obama has apologized for America its worst rating of "Four Pinocchios":
The claim that Obama repeatedly has apologized for the United States is not borne out by the facts, especially if his full quotes are viewed in context.
Obama often was trying to draw a rhetorical distinction between his policies and that of President Bush, a common practice when the presidency changes parties. The shift in policies, in fact, might have been more dramatic from Clinton to Bush than from Bush to Obama, given how Obama has largely maintained Bush's approach to fighting terrorism.
In other cases, Obama's quotes have been selectively trimmed for political purposes. Or they were not much different than sentiments expressed by Bush or his secretary of state. Republicans may certainly disagree with Obama's handling of foreign policy or particular policies he has pursued, but they should not invent a storyline that does not appear to exist.

On the February 4 broadcast of SiriusXM's Media Matters Radio, economist Dean Baker said Fox host Sean Hannity's claim that "you can't say the economy is improving" was "silly nonsense." Baker continued: "The economy was in a state of free fall when President Obama took office ... We were losing 700,000 jobs a month, that was the reality. You can't blame President Obama for it, that was the day he took office." He concluded that since then, "The economy has grown and we've seen unemployment fall." [SiriusXM, Media Matters Radio, 2/4/12 [39]]
THEN: Months Before Obama Took Office Saw Largest Economic Contraction In A Half Century. The Bureau of Economic Analysis estimated that gross domestic product declined at an 8.9 percent annual rate during the fourth quarter of 2008 -- the final quarter before President Obama took office. According to IHS Global Insight, GDP decline at the end of 2008 "represents the worst single-quarter decline in GDP since the 10.4 percent drop in the first quarter of 1958." ["Latest GDP Report Shows U.S. Recession Was Deeper and Recovery More Anemic Than Previously Thought," IHS Global Insight, 7/29/11 [40]]
NOW: The Economy Has Grown For 13 Consecutive Quarters. In an "Economic Recovery Watch" post updated on November 2, the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities (CBPP) wrote that although "the pace of recovery has been modest," the economy "has been growing for 13 straight quarters." The post included this chart:

THEN: Nearly 2 Million Jobs Were Lost In Three Months Before Obama Took Office. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, employment decreased by 803,000 jobs in November 2008, 661,000 jobs in December 2008, and 818,000 jobs in January 2009 -- a total of 2.2 million jobs in three months. [Bureau of Labor Statistics, accessed 9/2/12 [42]]
NOW: Private Sector Employment Has Grown For 29 Months Adding Millions Of Jobs. In the same post, CBPP noted that "private employers [have] added 5.0 million jobs to their payrolls in the last 32 months, an average of 155,000 jobs a month." The post included the following chart:

How to Conceive a LayoutDecember 16, 2003
I don't normally respond to CSS help requests, instead referring the asker to the css-discuss mailing list. It's mainly a time issue, but I'm also of the opinion that you can't learn if you have someone else doing it for you. I've never been one to ask for help if I could figure it out for myself. With Google and a few good books, I believe everyone can figure out CSS. It's not easy, it takes time, but it is do-able.
But the other afternoon I got involved in a dialogue and decided to answer a few questions anyway. Here's a patched-together result, which is very basic and easy to take for granted once you've learned it (and of limited use to most who read this site), but incredibly difficult to figure out if you haven't.
How do you build a dual-column layout?
There's no mechanism to do this specifically today. CSS-2 tables would be great, if you could use them. Unfortunately, you can't thanks to current browser support.
So the method is to hack. And hacks are just that: they work, but they're not the best solution. The following explanation will [hopefully] make sense, but it will sound ridiculous and over-wrought. Rightfully so, but we still have to compromise to make things work.
Your XHTML would, logically, look like this:

 logo and whatever

 navigation

 content

The first thing to do is address the top bar.
#topBar { }
That piece of CSS corresponds directly with

, since '#' is the symbol for an
id. Similarily, if I'd used
class="topBar" then I could use
.topBar in the CSS, as classes are symbolized by periods.
Next, to assign a height:
#topBar { height: 100px; }
Inches and centimetres aren't very useful on-screen. Pixels, symbolized by
px, are better for this sort of thing. To give it a background color:
#topBar { height: 100px; background-color: #991122; }
The sidebar is pretty easy too. Instead of giving it a height, you'd assign a width:
#sideBar { width: 200px; background-color: #996600; }
The tricky part now is the content. Since the sidebar is on the left, the best way to bring the content area up beside it is to pull the sidebar out of the document flow.
What does this mean? An HTML document is structured linearly, and by default all elements will display in the same order as they are listed in the markup. It's very rare that you'd want to leave the elements displaying this way, so there are tricks involving absolute positioning and
float that allow you to do something about it.
The trick is to remember that when you remove an item from the flow, any influence it had on the position of other elements disappears. Which means that in this case, we need to rig a layout where
#sideBar won't influence
#contentArea's position.
#sideBar { width: 200px; background-color: #996600; float: left; }
You'll see at this point that
#contentArea will overlap
#sideBar. This is expected, since
#sideBar no longer affects
#contentArea's position. So how
do we stop that? A pretty simple fix: push
#contentArea over to the right by the exact width of
#contentArea { margin-left: 200px; background-color: #FFDDAA; }
And there you have it, a two-column layout with a header. See how it comes together on this sample page. There are issues with this layout, particularily a) if you want to add a footer, and b) if you want to assign a background colour to either column that extends the length of the page, instead of the length of the column's content. There are ways to do both. Perhaps a follow-up will come later that explores these methods; I have a working layout that does both at once, and isn't dependent on the content size of either column. I'll try to pare that down to the basics and explore it sooner or later.
Reader Comments
I am no way near the expert in CSS that you and visitors to this site are. However, its been my experience while helping people at Webdeveloper forums (http://forums.webdeveloper.com/ ) that absolute-positioned layouts are easier to comprehend than floats. If this is intended to be "first lesson", absolute positioned sideBar is a better choice.
Interesting point, I've heard it said that floats are tricky to wrap your mind around.
In this case, the difference between float: left; and position: absolute; left: 0; is pretty much nil. Same end result. I prefer floats for layouts, because it's possible to clear them later for the benefit of a footer. You can't do that with absolute.
Still, for the sake of raw comprehension, maybe I should revise that. Thanks for bringing it up, Niket.
There definately are two different mindsets about doing two or even three column layouts: the floating way, and the absolute way. Just like Perl, there's more than one way to accomplish an end.
Personally, I fall into the float camp, and I had just redone my two and three column layouts with the approach presented here (I had been floating both my content and menu before), and was planning on writing a similar entry. Now, I'll just link to this one! Good article.
Oh, and I do agree about the teaching floating comment. I am in the process of writing some beginner's documentation for our own Web Dev site to help students create basic templates, and explaining floats can be a real pain.
I believe Eric Meyer wrote an article on floats that really cleared things up. [url - http://www.complexspiral.com/publications/containing-floats/ - added by DS]
As far as extending both columns, I used a technique that extends my site's sidebar (though not the main content, as it's usually longer; usually). However, I had to hide it from Internet Explorer, due to a weird rendering bug in which the background image would overlap the text at an arbitrary point. I'll fix it eventually (when I go about cleaning up the code), but I'm leaving it as-is for now.
I have always floated both the content and the side-bar inside another div, but this way looks much better.
Are there any advantages of floating the sidebar rather than floating the content? (ALA-style) Or is it just personal preference?
It would seem that floating the content would be useful if you wanted a sidebar that extended all the way down, and your content was always longer than your sidebar, but there may be other ways to accomplish the same thing.
The method as stated has a problem, which is this: once you've got your columns, the next thing you'll want is to give them margins (more strictly padding, but beginners would call them margins). This method falls apart right there, at least on IE5+ and IE6 without the right DOCTYPE. (Do I really need to add a link to the ALA article here? I think not!) After much fiddling, I think the only reliable method is the double-DIV: every section has an outer DIV to apply overall width to and an inner DIV or other block-level element to apply padding and margins to. I've got a silly little tool for generating arbitrarily complex double-DIV layouts at http://flurf.net/boxy/ if you're interested; it's kludgey, but what the hell.
Of course, this is just the start. Eventually the DIVs will multiply, and before you know it…
Three DIVs for the design-gods painting on Macs,
Seven for the usability-lords in their websites of grey,
Nine for Windoze geeks doomed to debug,
One for the Zeld Man on his orange page,
In the land of New York where the pundits cry.
One DIV to size them all, One DIV to pad them,
One DIV to colour them all and in the browser style them
In the land of W3 where the standards lie.
When I first learned how to make site layouts with CSS I looked at the W3C's homepage (http://www.w3.org/.) They float every column and place a cleared element after the columnar section. I continue to use this technique for most designs I make.
Eric: IE has a "standard-compliancer mode" (I know, I know) explained at http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/dnie60/html/cssenhancements.asp. If you define a doctype and do not put an xml declaration, ie 6 will fix the box model.
Lenny - that's what I meant by "at least on IE5+ and IE6 without the right DOCTYPE". Unfortunately, the DOCTYPE doesn't help on IE5+, which is why you need a fudge factor. My method does this:
* apply a 3% fudge factor for the benefit of IE5, hiding it using * html so the other browsers don't choke;
* apply a 0.1% fudge factor for IE6 to prevent the flicker you get when resizing, hiding it from other browsers using * html, and from IE5 using the backslash hack (w\idth: …);
* include an empty

 (the style is enclose { clear: both; }) inside any floated DIVs that contains other floated DIVs, to force compliant browsers to enclose them properly (IE already encloses them anyway, which is the Wrong Thing);
* apply percentage widths to outer DIVs and padding/margins/borders to inner ones.
See why I wrote a program to automate it? It's a pain.
(By the way… another pain is that this blog's commenting system doesn't convert < to < automagically; makes it hard to discuss HTML, you know…)
My mistake, Eric. Your method is a bit too hacky for my taste and relies on browsers having two bugs simultaneously, one to initiate the hack and the other to be fixed.
(Dave, can you fix the URLs in my posts to remove the punctuation from the end?)
That's the beauty of IE, of course: you can ALWAYS rely on it to have simultaneous bugs…
I agree it's hacky, but with >80% of the world using IE, what's the option? At least the hacks can be isolated.
I maintain that the only way to learn to do a good CSS layout, is to produce at least 5 bloody awful ones.
My website uses tables (don't laugh, I'm changing it soon) but I have made many expirmental CSS layouts. I prefer the float way shown in this post. I seems more… logical. Ok, no it doesn't. I take that back. But, it just… ARG. It's less work? I dunno why I like it. But I do.
My solution was to use floats; because the sidebar column wouldn't stretch all the way to the footer, I cheated with a couple of background images.
Uff, Eric, the box code generator is very nice indeed (maybe little help on how to create the template schema (I found that you have to set proper align (3 spaces?) by myself). But it's quite obscure - reminding me nested tables - now don't really want to use so many nested divs or we are back where we started.
Otherwise it is very good to see such a thing in action (php/xslt).
Well, I have to say that Mr. Shea's explaination of floating is one of the clearest that I've read.
I've been poking around the various css web resources and have fiddled with my pages using a float variation. But I have never been really clear on why float did what it did. Now I get it. Thanks Dave.
(I really hope I get all those css books on my Xmas list so everything else becomes clearer.)
I tend to use this http://www.csscreator.com/version2/pagelayout.php to create a layout because it uses floats and a clear for the footer if you specify it.
Thanks for the reminder on floating the sidebar, Dave. I had forgotten about that on my layout and was struggling with footers, etc.
I tend to do fairly well with the mechanics of CSS and even comprehend most of the hacks/workarounds. The biggest thing I struggle with, however, is the design aspect of creating a site. How do I best present information? How on earth do I come up with a reasonable color scheme…seems like I'm always inventing colors for things on the fly rather than having a coherent plan for them. I'm an old programmer and, obviously, not a graphic design person. Any suggestions on places I can go to learn design rather than CSS mechanics?
Unfortunately, I seem to be stuck in a world where I know good design when I see it, but flounder horribly when faced with a blank page….
>So how do we stop that? A pretty simple fix: push #contentArea over to the right by the exact width of #sideBar:
Or you just float: left; the content as well.
To all who've commented about the difficulty of explaining floats: I've had the same and found that teaching through a parallel with old [img align='left'] markup helps a lot.
I show how a [img align='left'] has text wrap around it, then I move to a small div that does the same with a float.
And then I add a margin for the sake of presentation and voila.
Michael, here's a link that might help you get a color scheme slapped together. It's a quickfix, and if you want something more robust, you probably want to learn Photoshop.
Eric Meyer's Color Blender
Finally, a clear enough explanation of creating a basic table-less column layout that I broke down at last and did it to my own site at http://www.penmachine.com – and it worked on the first try. Thanks, Dave.
The initial table-removing only took five minutes, but of course all the tweaking I had to do to get things working the way I like it took some time more.
One thing I wonder: if you create a right-hand sidebar with a float: right, is there really any need to have a separate div for the main body content? I used one, but it should work just as well without.
I made a little tool for creating 3 column layouts. It too uses absolute positioning - though having read that eric meyer article I might have a play around making some floating layouts.
I dont need double divs. In Eric Meyer on CSS by guess who, he recomends padding and margins 0 and to add padding to all the elements inside the div. EG: a div with id content could then have one encompassing rule
div#content {padding:0; margin: 0;}
div#content h1, h2, h3, p, ul, li, img {padding:0 1em; margin: 0;}
This works around the padding debacle of IE.
Michael Pierce:
I'm in a similar situation. I'm a nuts and bolts guy. I've read good things about "The Non-Designer's Design Book" by Robin Williams (ISBN 0321193857). It's around $11. I'm planning on getting it and tackling my psuedo-fear of visual design.
I've just been trying to come up with a solution to the problem Dave S. mentions in "b) if you want to assign a background colour to either column that extends the length of the page, instead of the length of the column�s content."
The CSS Creator (http://csscreator.com/version2/pagelayout.php) uses an outer div border color, negative margins trick to create column background colors - but that doesn't work if you want your columns to use background images. I've to decide to use a background image on my outer div - that's probably what kami was doing. It won't work for a liquid layout, though. I'm still looking for a smarter solution.
Dave, I was surprised that you mentioned using tables for a dual-column layout. Isn't that semantically incorrect? Or am I missing something?
I�m having a problem when I use a fixed width on the content area … for some reason IE adds a 3px space to the right of the sidebar and pushes the content area to the side. I can't seem to solve this with out adding some extra
 or switching the content
 to absolute positioned.
Andri – sounds like the old IE 3px bug flaring up:
I'm trying to do a two column layout with a header and footer. I did have this layout with the left column floated. Although there seemed to be a problem when needing to clear elements in the right column. If a clear:left was needed in the right column it would clear the entire left column. So, I now have the left column with an absolute position so that I can clear the elements needed to be cleared in the right column. The problem is, sometimes the content in the left is longer than the content in the right column. When this happens the footer cuts through the left column. Have you seen this problem before? How did you fix it if you have?
Thanks for the lesson! I had missed the importance of the margin-right setting for ensuring that the body doesn't encroach on the sidebar. I'm now a happy chap with Outlook stationery working as I want it!
Thanks :)
Niket, I would have to disagree with you a little bit on the absolute postitioning being easier than float for beginners. I don't know maybe I am different, But Ryan @ World One Web has been teaching me a ton of things with CSS that I didnt know, and encouraging me to use div tags instad of frames, etc. He taught me how to float them, if they dont work right, you try a clear: tag in your style sheet, it almost always fixes the problem. I donbt know maybe its just me, but I caught on really quick to the float, I HATE POSITIONING!. lol
I have a reccomendation to all of you out there who need help with color schemes, this site takes one color that you like you. You enter it in hexadecimal and it returns at least 4 matches. These colors just flow together I love this site! http://www.stylephreak.com/index.php/archives/2004/05/the-ultimate-color-scheme-generator/
By the way, anyone who looks at my site, lol dont judge, its the worst layout, and its coming down..should be this week, just been busy with work. heh

Twenty-two members of the Montezuma County High School graduating class of 1952, and their spouses and guests, attended the 60th year class reunion dinner, held August 25 at the Arriola Community Center pavilion. There were 44 present in total. The class was very proud to have in attendance their class sponsor, Bill Stroud. Coach Stroud to date has never missed a class reunion.
Appetizers provided by classmates were served during a wonderful time of visiting and photo-taking prior to dinner of barbecued brisket and chicken with all the trimmings topping off the evening get together.
The Class of 1952 meets every five to 10 years; the next reunion is tentatively planned to take place in five years.

SR1001 selectively binds to two orphan nuclear receptors: retinoic acid receptor-related orphan receptors α and γt (RORα and RORγt). These receptors have indispensible roles in the development and function of TH17 cells, providing a mechanism for modulating one component of the immune system without general immunosuppression. The team reports that SR1001 induces a conformational change in the receptors that results in their reduced affinity for co-activators and increased affinity for co-repressors. The net result is inhibition of the receptors' transcriptional activity.
SR1001 blocked the development of murine TH17 cells and inhibited cytokine production by differentiated murine and human TH17 cells. Although a drug is some way off, the team suggests that the results demonstrate the feasibility of targeting TH17 cells and the potential of such an approach for the treatment of autoimmune diseases.
The study is published in Nature.

BILLINGS, Mont.—The furor over the 30-day sentence given to a teacher who raped a 14-year-old girl offers the chance to clean up holes in how the state sentences criminals, a Montana prosecutor said.
Stacey Rambold, 54, was released from Montana State Prison this week and returned to Billings after fulfilling the term handed down by District Judge G. Todd Baugh, who sparked outrage when he commented that victim Cherice Moralez was "older than her chronological age."
Rambold's sentence is under review by the Montana Supreme Court, after the state appealed the monthlong term as illegal.
Yellowstone County Attorney Scott Twito said Friday he's hopeful justices will use the case to clarify sentencing statutes that have been interpreted differently from case to case.
"Any clarification we can get from the Supreme Court would be incredibly helpful," Twito said during a Friday interview at his offices in Billings. "If anything good can come of this, perhaps that's it."
Moralez killed herself before the case went to trial.
State prosecutors said Rambold should have received a minimum of two years under state law. Baugh relied on a different section of the same statute when he gave the defendant 15 years with all but 31 days suspended and a one-day credit for time served.
Barring new offenses, the former high school teacher has served his time and will stay out of prison pending the outcome of the appeal.
Prosecutors earlier requested that Rambold receive 20 years with 10 years suspended.
Twito said Friday that remains an appropriate sentence. However, it's uncertain whether the appeal process would offer the chance to increase the sentence beyond the mandatory minimum.
"My hope is to do justice in this case first and foremost, and give justice to the victim's surviving family members," Twito said. "But purely from a legal standpoint, the statutes are difficult to interpret and oftentimes cumbersome, and perhaps the Supreme Court can shed some light on that."
A spokesman for Attorney General Tim Fox, whose office is handling the appeal, declined to say whether the state will seek a term longer than two years. Spokesman John Barnes said it would be inappropriate to discuss such details before the state files its opening brief in coming weeks.
Rambold has registered as a level 1 sex offender, meaning he's considered a low risk to re-offend. He will remain on probation through 2028 unless the original sentence is overruled.
His attorney, Jay Lansing, has declined to comment on his release.
Rambold went before Baugh last month after he violated a deferred-prosecution agreement by getting booted out of a sex-offender treatment program for unauthorized visits with relatives' children and not disclosing that he was in a sexual relationship with an adult woman.
Baugh appeared to show sympathy for the defendant and agreed with Lansing's recommendation that Rambold receive a 15-year sentence with all but one month suspended.
At the Aug. 26 sentencing hearing, Baugh appeared to pin some of the blame in the case on Moralez. In addition to the remark about the girl's age, Baugh said she was "probably as much in control of the situation as was the defendant."
The comments drew a backlash from advocates who said the judge was blaming a victim who had not reached Montana's age of consent, which is 16.
The judge later apologized. He said the comments were based on video-taped interviews with Moralez by investigators and Lansing. Those videos have not been publicly released.
A formal complaint to have Baugh removed from the bench for alleged bias is pending before the state Judicial Standards Commission.

Door 13!
The blue doors are everywhere! It definitely seems to be the most popular colour that I'm coming across. Blue and white… hmm… scottish flag… Maybe there is something subliminal in that. Anyhow, I really love this door. I love symmetry that is odd not even, like the panels on this door; one in the middle and one either side.
Door 11!
This door is yet another white(-ish, plus black stripes) door in the series! What I'm noticing is a lot of plain white doors whenever I haven't spotted a door in advance and have just gone looking for one that day. I don't know what that means, maybe it's a signal I really need to do a lot more comprehensive searching for future doors…
As you can probably tell; this was taken at night. I'm having a bit of trouble getting photos before 4pm (when the sky starts to darken at the moment!) because of college so I'm having to find doors that are not only in corresponding numbers but are hopefully a bit different than the previous colour and also under a street light so it has some illumination! Bit tough going really.
Door 10!
Officially into double numbers and it feels good. 🙂
After having a bit of a wobble yesterday I've managed to convince myself that this project is definitely worth my time and energy, as someone managed to make me doubt it which I'm angry at.
Anyway this lovely dark brown door comes with a free cat!
Door 9!
I'm really sorry that this wasn't up yesterday. I had a bit of a bad day to be honest and just didn't get to the computer. I'm sure we all have those though!
Anyway, this is door number 9. I was looking for a more modern door to make a change to all the 1900-ish doors. I liked the boldness of this frontage. Apparently white is the most popular door colour so far!
Door 6!
Todays door is a very severe number 6. These houses are very impressive and large. I'm beginning to wonder if there is a link between the person who paints the door and the colour they choose…
Although I have to say I would not mind living in this house no matter what the colour of door!
Oh and a little note about the actual photographs I'm taking: you might notice that some are straight on and some are at an angle. Well I would love it if I could get square on each time but I'm finding that it's just not possible 😦 Most people will park their cars right outside their house and I have to avoid other distractions in the photo so it means I walk a few paces to either side to elliminate them. Hopefully it doesn't ruin the effect when looking through them but it does bug me that they're not all the same size and angle, maybe I'm just being pedantic?

Avg Internet security
AVG Internet Security 2016 is a capable security suite which does a generally very good job of protecting your PC from dangers, both on and offline.
At the program's core is AVG's strong antivirus engine. A little more accurate in this release, and with significantly reduced scanning times, this monitors every file you access, detecting and removing malware before it can cause any damage. And, conveniently, Whole Computer scans now look for and remove rootkits, as well: you don't have to run a separate scan to locate them.
The suite also includes a firewall, which protects you from network attacks and monitors running programs to make sure malware can't "phone home". A key improvement here is that this now works almost entirely automatically, so you're unlikely to be hassled with pop-ups and alerts any more.
The spam filter is also significantly enhanced. The last edition blocked only 55% of our test junk emails; AVG Internet Security 2016 has raised the detection rate to an impressive 88%.
And the suite also benefits from a new Windows 8-style interface. While this looks a little plain, we found it simple to use, with the various tiles delivering quick access to the program's various functions and features. An Options menu allows you to carry out just about any Internet Security Suite action in just a couple of clicks, and if you're still a little confused then a good local Help file will quickly point you in the right direction.
The news isn't all quite so good. Previously AVG Internet Security was able to add icons to results from all the main search engines, highlighting dangerous sites so that you'd know not to click their links. Now, these icons only appear when you use AVG's own Secure Search, either via the suite's browser toolbar, or by changing your browser search page. (AVG Internet Security 2016 will set this up by default during installation, but if you'd rather it leave your browser untouched then choose the Custom Installation option and you can turn the relevant options off.)
Fortunately, the suite does include other technologies to help keep you safe online. AVG's LinkScanner module vets web pages before they're displayed in the browser, for instance, and blocked a little more than half of our test malicious URLs. And if something does get downloaded then it'll be vetted by the antivirus engine, which will detect and remove most dangerous files.
And so, on balance, AVG Internet Security 2016 looks like a solid move forward. Not everyone will like the slightly plain interface, and browsing protection still needs work, but otherwise the suite is faster, more accurate and smarter than before, and it does a generally good job of keeping your PC safe from harm.

Finally. Something concrete. Personally, my most anticipated game - a game that I've actually been waiting most of my life to come out. And it's nothing like it's predecessor... which, we'll have to wait and see whether that that's a good thing. So we probably don't need a thread for this, I just wanted to make one as I'm so in love with the first game.
Here's the trailer:
What know is this:
This vast online playground has me a bit worried, as I've never been a particular fan of Ubisoft open-world online games. However, with Michel Ancel behind it I'm interested as to where this goes.Ubisoft wrote:ABOUT Beyond Good and Evil 2:
Journey to System 3, for the prequel to one of Ubisoft's most beloved games! Fight alongside unforgettable characters in a stunning new solar system, as you struggle for freedom and the right to determine your own fate among the stars. Play the adventure by yourself or with friends in a vast and seamless online playground.
Beyond Good and Evil 2 is the spiritual successor to the cult classic, a prequel that will transport players into a profoundly multicultural world, capturing the spirit of the original with grandiose decors and intense dramas that play out across a vast universe. Through the Space Monkey Program, Ubisoft Montpellier will be developing the game alongside its community of fans.
System 3 has become the center of interstellar trade and colonization in the Milky Way of the 24th century, thanks to the creation of Hybrid slaves. While private enterprises fight over resources and power, the first colonists weave together the rich and diverse spiritual and cultural heritages of Old Earth to give meaning to their existence. In this new era of piracy, we will rise from lowly pirate to legendary captain at the helm of massive star-faring vessels, adventuring alongside crews of colorful characters to fight for freedom and the right to determine our own fate among the stars!
From a more lore perspective, it'll be interesting which characters we see. From the looks of the trailer, we're seeing Jade's parents (going by the green eyes) and from that I suspect we'll see Pey'j too as we see a pig, but that definitely wasn't Pey'j. Plus we know that Pey'j takes Jade and saves her from the troubles that her parents are dealing with. I'm just curious how much linking we'll see, as they're marketing it as a spiritual successor so we may not get much at all which would be a real shame.
But from taking the CGI trailer at face value, I'm intrigued. Seems like an awesome world(s) they've got going and I can't wait to see more!
