Hopefully our injured players come back and Ljunblum comes for next season but man the depth, speed and goaltending differences were on display 😭
There’s rumors that like half the team is carrying injuries which I don’t know if that makes me feel better or worse
yeah i think the only team that replaced more players permanently than us was ottawa [and coincidentally they took like all of boston's reserves lmao]
i just want everyone to take a nice long sleep, get some rest and relaxation, and know that we were the most consistent throughout the regular season [only team not to drop below 3rd you're welcome]

2017 Movie Odyssey Award for Best Original Song (preliminary)
More than two hundred movies since 2017 began and just after passing six hundred total write-ups on this blog, it’s that time of year again! As all who have been tagged here probably know, I host an Oscar-like ceremony celebrating all the movies of that year’s Movie Odyssey at the year’s end. I contacted most of you beforehand to ask if you could help narrow down the shortlist for the final round of Movie Odyssey Award nominees in this category.
We have 23 songs (up from 17 last year... yikes!) in this preliminary round, separated into two groups -- songs that appear in the same movie have been placed into separate groups; all other songs were randomized. Unlike last year which was a La La Land/Moana/Purple Rain/Saturday Night Fever/The Slipper and the Rose party, this shortlist features more non-musical movies. No movie was shortlisted more than twice this round. With English, Hindi, Japanese, and Spanish involved, it is also the most multilingual field ever over a mixture of musical genres.
INSTRUCTIONS In the group that you have been sorted into, please rank (#1-10) at least five and at most ten of your assigned group’s songs. Please consider (to the best of your ability): your personal preferences (most important), how musically interesting a song is, the lyrics, context within the film (if you’ve seen it), choreography (if applicable), and the song’s cultural impact/life outside the film (if applicable, and also the least important factor). The top five songs in each group advance to the final round -- I may pick one song outside a group’s top five to advance, too. An unspecified number of songs have already advanced to the final. Tabulation details are underneath the cut.
There are some followers I’d like to extend a last invitation to for the prelim (because you’re all longtime followers but are either inactive/never participated before): @babeltwo, @classwarhooligan, @daveyboygoliath, @jayb3, @loveless422, @mopina, @phendranaedge, @saucy-witch, @shadesofhappy, @astorytellertothestars  I would love to have all of you participate in both the prelim and/or final rounds (if you folks don’t reply, apologies as I will tag you again for the final)! Please contact me if you are interested in participating in the prelim! This goes for any follower I have not tagged as well -- please contact me if you are interested in participating for this round and/or the final!
The deadline for preliminary submission is Saturday, December 9 at 11 PM Pacific Time. That’s Sunday, December 10 @ 2 AM Eastern and 7 AM GMT. The final round begins once tabulation is complete, probably the day after.

TABULATION Two tabulation methods will be used this year - one will have actual bearing on the results; the other is experimental and may be used in 2018.
The former is a points-based, ranked choice method which has been used since the first time I asked friends, followers, and family to help out. Here is last year’s example. A respondent’s first choice receives 10 points, the second choice receives 9, the third choice receives 8, etc. The winner is the song that ends up with the most total points. This will be used for the preliminary and final rounds this year.
Tiebreakers for above: 1) total points earned; 2) total #1 votes; 3) placement on my ballot; 4) placement on @monkeysmadeofcheese’s ballot; 5) tie declared
The following method may be used in 2018 and will be conducted this year for experimental purposes only. It uses the instant-runoff voting (IRV) method (the Academy Awards uses this method to choose a Best Picture winner, visually represented here). It’s a bit confusing (and it’s probably best if you see the visual example), but here’s how it works:
All #1 picks from all voters are tabulated. A song needs more than half of all aggregate votes to win (fifty percent of all votes plus one).
If there is no winner after the first count (as is most likely... if there are thirty respondents, sixteen #1 votes are needed to win in the first count), the song with the fewest #1 votes is thrown out. We look at the The last-placed song’s ballots are then given to the remaining nominees according to the voters' #2 choice.
The process repeats, eliminating nominees and giving votes to the highest-ranked, non-eliminated song on each ballot. It is possible after several rounds of counting that respondents who did not entirely fill in their ballots will have wasted their votes at the end of the process (if a person voted the second-to-last place song as their #1, filled in no more slots, and the count has exceeded two rounds, they have no say in which song ultimately is the winner).
A song wins when it reaches more than fifty percent of their #1 and re-distributed votes.
Tiebreakers for experimental method: 1) first song to receive fifty percent of all votes +1; 2) total points earned; 3) total #1 votes; 4) placement on my ballot; 5) placement on @monkeysmadeofcheese​’s ballot ; 6) tie declared

When Women Don’t/Speak
If anything, the women were more qualified than the men.
“I mean, these are extraordinarily bright women,” BYU political-science professor Jessica R. Preece (BA ’03) says of the women in their latest study. “And yet, we see these patterns . . . ,” she says, trailing off.
She and her BYU colleagues set out to examine the female experience in a top-10, predominately male collegiate accounting program—a program where the women, overall, matriculated with higher GPAs and more leadership experience than their male peers. The students move through the program on teams, and administrators wanted to know how best to build them. Traditionally, they spread the women out—for diversity, right?
The researchers were well suited: political-science professor Christopher F. Karpowitz (BA ’94, MA ’96) is a nationally recognized expert on group gender dynamics, and Preece and economics professor Olga Stoddard basically run a gender think tank at BYU, the Gender and Civic Engagement Lab.
Here’s the short of it: even though both men and women reported loving their groups, because of the study’s findings, the program will not put a woman alone on a team of men again.
What happens when women are outnumbered? After years spent analyzing lab and real-life settings to determine what it takes for a woman to really be heard—to truly be perceived as competent and influential—these professors have found the same truth: for women, having a seat at the table does not mean having a voice.
“Women are systematically seen as less authoritative,” says Preece. “And their influence is systematically lower. And they’re speaking less. And when they’re speaking up, they’re not being listened to as much, and they are being interrupted more.”
This applies well beyond study groups.
“Group-level decision making is ubiquitous,” says Karpowitz. It ranges from the highest level, where men and women work together in Congress and the U.S. Supreme Court, on down to juries, town halls, PTAs, and work teams. It applies even on Church ward councils and in families, he stresses. In one realm or another, no one falls outside the scope of this research.
However inadvertent, the gender dynamics shutting women down are real, says Preece. The environment, she emphasizes, doesn’t have to be hostile. “Multiple things can be true at once. You can simultaneously like the people you’re working with and still let biases creep in.”
Rather than outright misogyny, she says it’s usually cultural norms and gendered messages that subtly—and profoundly—shape the rules of engagement. Individuals who suppress female speech may do so unwittingly. “They may love women,” says Preece. “They may even be a woman!” But as a society we have been “slowly socialized over years to discount” female expertise and perspectives.
The problem, in part, could be you. Says Preece: “We have lots of learning and unlearning to do.”
A Crucial Perspective
In some spheres women have the gift of gab—particularly in groups of women. So what if they become demure in other spheres? Why does this matter?
For starters, women are “likely to identify different things as problems in the first place,” says Preece. In politics women often think differently about issues than men do; the literature even shows they can have a cooperative, democratizing impact on deciding bodies. “Women are more likely to think about, What are the needs of families and children and how do we care for those who have the least in our society?” says Karpowitz. “Many men focus on different priorities, such as how to balance the budget or change the tax structure.”
Sidebar: A Political Hole
Women now outpace men in education and voter turnout but are politically “opting out,” say Preece and Stoddard, in every other metric, from casual political dialogue to representation on the ballot.
Click here to see their research on the politician gender gap—and how to close it. Turns out “binders full of women” matter.
He sees threads of this at BYU.
“Some of my most impressive students have been women here at BYU whose core interest is, How do I simultaneously prioritize my family and my scholarly work? I never hear male students talk like that. Ever. And yet that balance . . . ought to be just as important for men.”
The researchers cite Church leaders like Sister Reyna Aburto in her April 2018 general conference talk, “With One Accord,” in which she spoke of counseling together: “Revelation is scattered among us, and when we put that revelation together, we can see more.” Or President M. Russell Ballard’s 1994 “Counseling with Our Councils,” in which he called for “sisters to have full opportunity to contribute” and compared the effect of asking the sisters for their ideas to “opening the floodgates of heaven.”
What’s more: women’s involvement changes group behavior—and outcomes.
Karpowitz never set out to study gender. His PhD work at Princeton was trained on group decisions—how ordinary people reach consensus, how individuals establish influence and authority, or “the idea that other people will listen, believe there is value in what is being said, and might even change their opinions in response to that.” But as he and Princeton colleague Tali Mendelberg examined another scholar’s dataset, the gender differences were nothing short of “dramatic.”
In the study, groups chose how to divvy up money. Women could not influence a group’s outcome unless there were a lot of them—and those groups reached very different conclusions. Groups with more women gave more generously to the people with the least. And the people in these groups reported feeling happier with their decisions. “That struck us as really important to understand,” says Karpowitz.
Upon his arrival at BYU in 2006, he and Mendelberg set out to unpack it. In a series of studies, they’ve shown that women can bring new perspectives and solutions—but only when they are able to participate.
That’s the hang-up.
“In real time,” he says, “we were able to get this view of how it is that women can be disempowered.”
The evidence is amassed in their award-winning book, The Silent Sex, which the International Society of Political Psychology as well as the American Political Science Association’s political psychology and experimental research sections each named the best book of the year. And their findings are instructive for us all.
How Women Are Disempowered
The Karpowitz and Mendelberg studies began with a large controlled experiment in which groups of five, with varying gender compositions, were asked how to split their collective earnings—and how economic redistribution should work in society at large.
Half of the groups were assigned to decide by majority rule—the most common protocol decision-making bodies use. Here’s what happened in those groups:
Unequal Talking Time: Equality would suggest that each person in a group of five has the floor 20 percent of the time, but it took not just a female majority but a supermajority (meaning four out of five) for women to finally speak their proportionate talking time. At best, outnumbered women in the study spoke three-quarters of the time a man spoke; on average, women spoke just two-thirds as much as a man. And missing voices means missing perspectives: they weren’t bringing up things they had said, in surveys beforehand, that they cared about.
A lone female spoke the least. A lone male? Nothing will hold him back, Karpowitz and Mendelberg found. “Men are willing and eager to jump into conversations, and they come with a level of confidence where they just expect themselves to be influential,” says Karpowitz. “They go for it no matter what.”
Routinely Interrupted: Ever had someone cut you off? Maybe it was argumentative—an “I don’t think so” or “That’s not right”—or maybe the person just talked over you, stole the floor. Such negative interruptions, says Karpowitz, “sap the authority of the speaker,” and men commit them most. Interestingly, the patterns of negative interruptions are also tied to gender composition. Put a woman alone with four men, and 70 percent of the interruptions she receives from men are negative. Compare that with having four women in the room: here, just 20 percent of the interruptions women receive from men are negative. To quote the study, when women have the numbers, “men undergo a drastic change. They become far less aggressive.”
Limited Influence: The researchers asked group members individually who in their group was most influential. Talking time predicted everything: those who held the floor most won. Ergo, “the same conditions that create disproportionate silence by women also create disproportionate authority by men,” Karpowitz and Mendelberg write.
A Possible Solution
Karpowitz and Mendelberg’s work sent such huge ripples through the field because of what they did with the other half of the groups. These were assigned to make their decisions via unanimous rule. It was the first-ever study to look at how gender composition interacts with decision rule.
For outnumbered women, unanimous rule paid dividends:
• Female talking time increased for women in the minority—a lone woman participated nearly as much as a man.
• Unanimous rule significantly increased positive interruptions—interjections that affirm and validate, like “Yeah” and “I agree.” Such positive interruptions tripled for women in the minority. “Women tend to be really sensitive to the signals that other members of the group send,” says Karpowitz. “If the group sends signals that build confidence, women tend to participate more.”
• The influence gap narrowed for a lone woman—she had almost as much of a shot as a man at being voted the most influential member by her group.
“Unanimity rule sends the message that everybody’s voice matters,” says Karpowitz. It’s a huge breakthrough for groups with gaping gender disparities. The bottom line, he says: if you want to empower women, apply majority rule when women have the numbers and unanimous rule—or at the very least, an underlying principle of unanimous rule, hearing from everyone—when they don’t.
Seven Ways to Elevate Women’s Voices
Imagine your next work, ward council, town hall, HOA, or PTA meeting. You can help empower the women in the room.
“We have control over these things,” says Karpowitz. “We can invite more women. If we can’t do that, we can do things to make sure the women who are in the room are able to fully contribute and express views.”
1. Men, Listen Up: “Part of what comes of this research is, for men, the importance of listening,” says Karpowitz. For many men, he says, it’s just a matter of becoming aware of these dynamics. “And again, to do that, men may have to actually be quiet at times,” Karpowitz says with a laugh, “and listen.”
The aim is not some “artificial kind of politeness,” he continues. “We’re trying to think about the conditions under which men and women participate equally and are equally influential, that they see each other as authoritative, without one person or one gender dominating the speaking turns.”
Men enter discussions expecting themselves to be influential. “We’re not trying to denigrate that,” says Karpowitz. “What’s important is for women to feel that way too.”
2. Women, Speak Up: Women especially worry about the reactions of others—they worry that by speaking their minds, they are violating gender roles, says Karpowitz. “We need women to be confident and speak up. As they do that, other women see that and respond to it.”
“It’s especially important for women to have role models and mentors,” he continues, in their communities, occupations, and congregations—even at BYU. “Having faithful Latter-day Saint women who are professors at this university is incredibly powerful for women who are students here.”
3. Positive Support Matters: “Think about being an ally,” says Stoddard. Protect—even solicit—the speech of women in the room. If they are interrupted, ask them to finish a thought. Practice positive interruptions, like “That’s an interesting point” or “I’m glad you brought that up.” Such small interjections may seem inconsequential, but the lack of positive support, in combination with negative interruptions, delivers a powerful dose of invalidation for women.
Men especially can have an impact. “We found that in settings where a man would support a woman’s statement, she was able to be more influential,” says Stoddard.
4. Change the Rules: When women are outnumbered, try unanimous rule. “It might take longer to get to a decision,” says Karpowitz, but the literature is resoundingly clear that women thrive in cooperative settings. “We have to think not only about whether the door is open initially for women to come in, but what’s the experience of men and women once they’re here,” says Karpowitz.
5. Watch Out for Stereotypes: “Women are especially less likely to be listened to on topics that men are stereotyped as knowing more about—independent of how much women actually know about these topics,” says Preece. Finances, management, and doctrinal knowledge are a few examples. “Wards and families and couples need to be especially careful that they don’t dismiss women’s voices on topics often seen as masculine.”
6. Leaders, Take Note: “The signals sent by the person in charge matter,” says Karpowitz, who emphasizes this when presenting this research to Church members. In one student thesis, women overwhelmingly shared gratitude for inclusion in ward councils—but almost invariably expressed the feeling that their concerns were easily dismissed. “Occasionally you have a stake president or a bishop who isn’t really interested in counseling together,” says Karpowitz. “He already knows what he wants to do, and what he really wants is everyone to echo his preferences. . . . Our advice is to seek for unity and counsel together until everyone feels good about the outcome.”
7. Teach a Better Way: Parents can model respectful communication and full participation and have explicit conversations about these topics, says Preece. “Kids will be exposed to many examples of gendered patterns of interaction at school, through media, and via our own imperfect behavior, so unless parents take the time to point out unhealthy dynamics, they’re likely to just assume that is the normal way things should be.”
It Can’t Be Overcome by Excellence
Karpowitz, Preece, and Stoddard watched all of this unfold anew in the accounting-program study, where the women who were in the minority were routinely seen—by themselves and others—as the least competent, least influential members of their groups. And this is among 20-somethings raised in the era of #LeanIn and #MeToo—arguably a time in which women have been encouraged to be more ambitious and speak out.
For Preece, it boils down to this: “It can’t really be overcome by excellence.”
As women, she says, “our impulse a lot of times is to be like, ‘Well, if I am just clearly the best, then I can maybe overcome these biases. And the answer is maybe. Sometimes. But mostly, no. It’s bigger than an individual-level problem—it’s a systemic problem, a structural problem.”
From pundits in politics, the business world, and the media, “the solution so often has been, ‘You’ve got to fix the women,’ or, ‘Well, women have just got to lean in,’” says Stoddard. But the experiences women have when they lean in can be very different than a man’s in the same position.
“Advice that works for men doesn’t always work for women, because people react differently,” adds Preece—and this is well supported in the literature. Behavior that seems strong and decisive when it comes from a man, she says, may be interpreted as abrasive and aggressive from a woman. There’s even a term coined for it—the double bind.
“The double bind is huge,” says Stoddard: exhibit traditional female characteristics, she says—warmth, caring, responsiveness to all ideas and assignments—and “you’re going to experience others seeing you as less competent.” But take on male characteristics—leading, disagreeing freely, being assertive, speaking out—and likability suffers. “The competency-likability tradeoff is a constant balancing act for women.”
The goal, the researchers say, is not to change women, but to change the environment in the room.
“It’s not women who are broken; it’s society that’s broken,” says Preece. “Of course we can encourage women to seek for and take advantage of opportunities. . . . But I’d like to see us focus on training people to be—and creating systems that are—supportive of women who speak up.”
Women, Preece continues, have much to contribute. “If we build a world in which women’s voices are valued and listened to, they will speak up without having to be told to,” she says. “The goal is to create a space where women can be seen as influential as their authentic selves.”

The Newseum Institute, The Freedom Forum and the University of South Dakota recently awarded Martin Baron, Executive Editor of The Washington Post, the Al Neuharth Award, which recognizes excellence in media and a commitment to free expression and a free press. Here is Baron’s Acceptance Speech:
Courtesy of The Washington Post
Walter Cronkite was the first recipient of this award, in 1989. It is an incalculable honor to be in his company and that of the other 29 distinguished recipients, including Judy Woodruff, John Seigenthaler and Peter Prichard, who are here tonight.
Cronkite was not just a revered eminence in our profession. All of us of a certain age remember the dignity of his presence, the resonance of his voice, the authority he brought to the news.
He was also a man of deep com- mitment to the principles of the profession. At this moment in our history, it’s worth reminding ourselves and the public of what Cronkite called upon journalists to do: Report the facts as we see them – quote – “without regard for the consequences or controversy that may ensue.”
That principled position is one that can serve us well today, when we in the press are subjected to endless words of condemnation and when we are persistently targeted for intimidation.
We have a job to do. And we need to do it, no matter what.
We as a profession will need a strong set of values – the sort of values that are enshrined in this very building. I like to call that our soul.
We as journalists will also need a strong spine. If we abandon our mission out of fear or out of weakness, a central pillar of America’s democracy will collapse. The public will not forgive us, nor in my view should they.
I want to express my appreciation to the sponsors of this award – the Freedom Forum, the Newseum Institute, and the University of South Dakota, which Al Neuharth, a South Dakota native, attended – his first step toward a spectacular career as a journalism pioneer, innovator, disrupter, and champion.
The Newseum is testament to Al Neuharth’s reverence for the First Amendment and his recognition that the rights it guaranteed are what, above all, make this country exceptional.
It is only appropriate that the building stand on Pennsylvania Avenue between Congress and the Supreme Court on one side and the White House on the other – a position that speaks to the obligation of the press to keep watch over every branch of government.
When in 1991, Al Neuharth changed the name of the Gannett Foundation to the Freedom Forum, he meant to send a message – about the important mission of free speech, a free press and, he added, a “free spirit.”
Not just in this country, by the way, but around the world.
Here at the Newseum, the inspiration of Al Neuharth, all of us who work as journalists today can remind ourselves of the courage of those who came before us. Our predecessors in this profession fought to ensure that the First Amendment became more than words and that free expression became a way of life — became central to what it means to be a citizen of the United States.
“We must do our jobs as they’re supposed to be done, drawing inspiration from James Madison’s argument for the First Amendment: that the press should have the ‘right of freely examining public characters and measures.’” – Martin Baron
Al Neuharth and I received our early education as journalists at the same place, The Miami Herald.
In 1954, the year I was born, he went there from South Dakota to become a reporter, earning $95 per week. Twenty-two years later, I started my full-time career at The Herald, earning $200 a week – first working out of a two-man bureau in the town of Stuart, then with a population of 12,000, the county seat in Martin County, population 50,000.
More than two decades after that, thanks to Alberto Ibargüen’s brave decision to hire me as the Herald’s editor, I returned to Miami.
The Herald’s newsroom has been a place that vibrates with all that makes journalism such an exciting and fulfilling profession. When big news breaks – and in Miami, that’s pretty much all the time — the Herald is a machine.
And in Al Neuharth’s time, in my two tenures there, and still today, the Herald’s news staff has been as dogged as they come, determined to root out malfeasance, never content with facile answers, always searching for the truth.
When I was editor there, I faced my rst big test on a national scale.
It was the year 2000. November. And the unimaginable happened in a presidential election. No one was sure who had won. Florida would decide whether it was George W. Bush or Al Gore.
With an of cial vote difference in the hundreds – and with charges of improper counting, confusing ballots, and voter suppression – a constitutional crisis was in the making. When the U.S. Supreme Court rejected the Gore campaign’s request for an of cial recount by a vote of 5-4, the Herald decided to do its own recount.
Under Florida’s public records law, the Herald asserted a right to examine for ourselves every ballot cast in the state. We inspected them one by one, along with a major accounting firm.
When our plan to conduct a recount became known, we were condemned by Republicans, who accused us of seeking to delegitimize a Bush presidency.
But we just wanted to get at the truth. We felt Americans were entitled to know who really won. And in the end, we concluded that Bush had almost certainly won, by a small but solidly documented margin.
We were doing exactly what Walter Cronkite advised: Getting the facts and reporting them “without regard for the consequences or controversy that may ensue.”
In 2001, I became editor of The Boston Globe. And there was a case that immediately caught my interest.
A Boston priest had been accused of molesting as many as 80 children. The plaintiffs’ lawyer accused the cardinal himself of knowing the priest’s shocking history of abuse and yet reassigning him from one parish to the next. Lawyers for the archdiocese called those accusations irresponsible and baseless.
It was not enough to report competing accounts of the truth. As a news organization, when there is evidence of wrongdoing, we need to nd the truth for ourselves – and for a public that needs and deserves to know.
And so the Boston Globe went about that work. The work went beyond this one horrible case. We needed to know whether the Church had repeatedly failed to disclose clergy abuse, repeatedly reassigned priests who had been credibly accused of abuse from one parish to the next – without notifying parents, or other priests, or the public at large. Were they putting additional children at risk of harm, again and again?
We went ahead with an investigation. And the Globe went to court, where we argued that the law and public interest demanded that documents kept secret by the Church be made public. Thankfully, we prevailed.
Church files that had been locked away would be made public by court order. And, along with vigorous independent reporting, we documented a pattern of cover-up lasting half a century.
Victims were given a voice – and the hearing they’d long been denied. One of the world’s most powerful institutions was held accountable. Children were made more safe. And the public won the truth. The truth changed the way the Church and other major institutions now deal with sexual abuse.
The lesson, of course, is that no one should be immune from responsibility, least of all the powerful. No one should be denied a hearing, least of all the powerless.
There may be nothing more powerful in our society than the federal government. And that was something I had to think about shortly after I became executive editor of The Washington Post in 2013, after an unidentified individual sent former Post staffer Bart Gellman an encryption key and instructions to create an account on an anonymous computer server.
The source, of course, was Edward Snowden. And Bart would propose to The Post stories based on highly classified documents Snowden had obtained.
We published because we felt the public interest would be served, because what would be revealed went far beyond particular intelligence sources and methods – secrets the press had traditionally withheld from publication.
The documents revealed a sweeping national policy, one that dramatically expanded surveillance and sharply eroded individual privacy.
This policy raised important questions: Do American citizens get to determine how much privacy they’re entitled to? Or does government decide all that for us — in secret — as long as it can assert national security as its rationale?
The documents would reveal that the National Security Agency was conducting surveillance of breathtaking scope.
Major technology companies ultimately wrote the president to say the following: “We understand that governments have a duty to protect their citizens. But … The balance in many countries has tipped too far in favor of the state and away from the rights of the individual – rights that are enshrined in our Constitution.”
Our work and that of other publications, most notably The Guardian, led to a public debate that had never been allowed to take place — about the proper balance between national security and individual privacy.
Many in this country argued that our decision to publish carried unacceptable risks to a nation under persistent threat. And yet many others are grateful that we exposed government activities they would never have approved and that in the wrong hands could be horribly abused.
At the center of our mission as journalists is holding powerful institutions and powerful individuals accountable.
I hope the current U.S. president understands that. It’s not evident yet that he does.
His language about journalists during the campaign was bad enough. He called us scum, low-lifes, disgusting, the lowest form of humanity, and — when that wasn’t enough — the lowest form of life.
When he took office, we became “enemy of the American people.” And the latest evidence suggests he has been eager to put journalists in jail for leaks.
Whatever the language, whatever the threats, we must do our jobs as they’re supposed to be done, drawing inspiration from James Madison’s argument for the First Amendment: that the press should have the “right of freely examining public characters and measures.”
Our industry faces many challenges. There are financial challenges. There are technological challenges. There is the challenge of our credibility with the public.
I firmly believe we can meet these challenges. But first and foremost we must know who we are and what we stand for. And we cannot waver in our commitment to a mission that has been with us since this country acquired a Bill of Rights.
There’s a quote from our owner, Jeff Bezos, on one of the glass partitions in our still-new D.C. offices. It goes like this:
“I strongly believe that missionaries make better products. They care more. For a missionary, it’s not just about the business. There has to be a business, and the business has to make sense, but that’s not why you do it. You do it because you have something meaningful that motivates you.”
We as journalists have something meaningful that motivates us. And today, despite all that confronts our profession, that sense of purpose feels stronger than ever. It is an exhausting time to be a journalist. But it is also an exhilarating time. It is a time when we are tested. It is a tense time.
It is also a time when a free and independent press feels indispensable. It is indispensable, and the sense of purpose in our profession is stronger than ever.
I chose journalism as a career 41 years ago. Today, I know this: I could not have made a better choice.
Allen Harold “Al” Neuharth was an American businessman, author, and columnist born in Eureka, South Dakota. He was the founder of “USA Today,” The Freedom Forum, and its Newseum. The Freedom Forum, based in Washington, D.C., is a nonpartisan foundation that champions the First Amendment as a cornerstone of democracy, and is the principal funder of the Newseum and Newseum Institute.

Disabled first responders won't have to pay property taxes anymore

He went on full disability in 2013.
“It’s going to give me a little bit of help due to the fact I didn’t keep what I had to shop — and I didn’t keep to have this circumstance,” stated Rudolph, of Davie. The exemption should mean a financial savings of $three, six hundred a yr for him.

There are so many deserving first responders,” he stated. They include police, deputies, fireplace opponents, emergency carrier technicians and corrections officers.

Award Rudolph didn’t realize there was an effort to present a special abode exemption to totally disabled first responders till he stepped into the voting booth in November.

He went on full incapacity in 2013.
Single Mother Help – Assistance For Disabled Single Mothers
Disability in unmarried mothers is difficult. Apart from the truth that those mothers are left alone to care for their infant, the Disability has added up to the issue. Fortunately, there are already available offerings and assistance for disabled mothers. A coverage is also created to defend the rights of those disabled moms as well as defensive them from discrimination at work. This policy is referred to as the Yankees Disabilities Act.
The offerings and help which are supplied to disabled single moms aim to help those moms to overcome their Incapacity and retain to stay existence collectively with their youngsters. Being disabled can either be caused from a bodily Incapacity, mastering Disability, or a mental Incapacity. Primarily based on the Census of us of us, approximately forty 1,000,000 of American citizens are disabled. The majority of those disabled people are girls, even though the welfare reforms retain to push the one’s disabled mothers to work.
Services are provided to Disabled single moms got here from TANF and SSI
Commonly, the average income for a character who is not disabled would be $22,000; but, a person with a Disability would best earn about $12,000. Research have discovered out that moms who are receiving assistance from the Temporary assistance to Needy Families or TANF are disabled mothers or mothers who have a disabled toddler. however, for the reason that reform of the welfare packages, fewer those disabled mothers are becoming assist from TANF. Other than that, the Social Safety income that still gives additional help to the disabled moms has set strict standards and standards, lessening the range of its beneficiaries.
Offerings furnished by the Transient assistance to Needy Families or TANF would contain case-control
This includes software of offerings from the Social Protection earnings for the disabled unmarried mother. but, now not all caseworkers who are handling the cases for disabled single moms are privy to these offerings causing the denial of software. The rates of candidates being denied are very excessive and alarming. The government took motion closing February 2009 whilst the National Council for Kingdom Legislatures has proposed that the Temporary help to Needy Families office and the Social Safety earnings office need to work collectively so that the whole lot will work nicely. however, disabled moms want to realize that the federal law does now not allow approval of each offering at the same time.
One of the services furnished by the Brief assistance to Needy Households is to refer the disabled moms to the Branch of Exertions, mainly on the only Prevent Career Middle. Disabled moms would be able to realize which Profession and fields might be suitable for them to earn cash even with the Incapacity. There also are unmarried mother programs in an effort to be referred by using One Stop to help the ones, disabled moms
Polarity Responders – Contrary To All Belief
We have all had to address a polarity responder at one time or another. . . a person who irrespective of the situation, has to respond in opposition to everything. ‘It’s a beautiful day.’
Polarity Responder: ‘It is clearly too warm. And that I assume there might be a few clouds at the horizon.’
They may be clean to identify. And, to me, pretty amusing to cope with. I really like it when I locate polarity responders. I relax when I hear it because I think to myself, They’re toast. They may be mine. I clearly deliver them something to reply to this is to my benefit.
Take be aware whilst you’re eliciting criteria. The polarity responder will use the word ‘unique’ or ‘distinction’. another way to have a look at polarity responders, in they’re ‘variations’ orientated people, folks who see the distinction in the whole thing that you talk approximately.
Let’s consider that They’re disruptive with you like this, you may just tell a polarity responder, ‘Could you do me a choose?’ PR: ‘Yeah, sure. What can I do for you?’
‘Best if you need to, you do not have to.’
PR: ‘No. What is it? What is it?’
‘Ok, what I wanted to invite you is, Could you concentrate closely on what’s taking place and if you pay attention that I’ve ever stated something that is not quite in line with what you suspect have to be going on right here, Would you convey it to my interest right away?’
PR: ‘Oh, properly, honestly. But what you are announcing is remarkable. After all, you really know your stuff.’
Properly, I recognize, But I know you’re going to locate something so I want you just to carry it to my interest.’
Now, this polarity responder is stuck in a trap. If they bring it to your attention, they have finished what you have asked. If they don’t carry it on your attention then they haven’t performed their polarity. So both way you win. This maintains them from going into their polarity response. They are able to sit lower back and type of experience. They’re seeking to concentrate simply intently to what is occurring so that they’ll include one or things for you.
PR: ‘well, you know, you stated this and I used to be curious why.’
Well, that’s truly essential. I knew there was no manner you couldn’t convey that up so I’m surely happy you probably did.’
Properly now, are they going to bring up the next component? No. because They’re going to fear that you’re going to mention, ‘I knew you had been going to deliver that up too’ and that pisses them off. They can not live in their polarity response so that they just pass neglect it.
Using styles for your gain is the key to persuasion and that is an actually smooth one to counteract. In this case, my intention is to diffuse their pattern so it doesn’t hinder anyone else both.
Rental Property Management: Is It Really Worth It To Hire This Service
Why ought to I hire the offerings of the condominium belongings management organization to look after my belongings given on rent? It would be the first query from each landlord who has given his assets on the lease if you ask them to apply the services of this kind of group current in your metropolis. You may agree that after someone shall we his house or any part of his house for lease, his primary purpose is to earn income from it to enjoy a higher life and make the fee of his numerous payments.
Giving a house on hire is one of the oldest practices carried across the world.
If there are any used parts at home, human beings deliver it on lease to earn extra profits from that component. To a certain extent, this practice seems possible to earn greater income in short span of time without investing a single penny from the pocket. But, when a person has a big quantity of homes below his ownership and he has given all of them on rent, then looking in any case the ones homes on the equal time may be complex for him, till until he has sufficient time to look after them or has a person to take the care of these residences in his absence. But, for that, it’s miles vital that either you or the other individual taking care of your own home ought to have a right understanding of dealing with the property given on hire.
That is especially because of lots of prison formalities associated with it,
Furthermore, there are certain situations wherein being a landlord you have to type out any trouble arising from your home in your tenant. Let us, for example, say, even as giving your property on the lease you instructed your tenant that the house is equipped with an electrical converter to lighten the house all through the electricity cut. But, for the duration of energy cuts if that electrical converter did no longer paintings
