Lately every Boston blogger except yours truly has thrown around ideas on how to save the Boston Globe. I won't discuss whether it deserves to be saved, for the purpose of this article we'll assume it is a valuable part of the community (both in terms of jobs and journalism) and assume it needs to be saved for the sake of Boston.
Bloggers, reporters and citizens have suggested everything from increasing subscription and per paper prices, removing the Globe from Google, scrapping segments, scrapping the print edition and even buying subscriptions out of charity to boost revenues.
None of those ideas will work. Here are eight ideas that would work and really save The Boston Globe.
Let's all be honest here, the print edition is not for breaking news. By the time it's printed half the internet has already mentioned the story and moved on. Cutting these two days out of the schedule will allow for a better product on the days the Globe is printed. Less fluff, more stuff.
The people at the top have utterly and completely failed the newspaper. There are no more excuses left for them, they are clearly not so talented that they're crucial to the future of the Globe. Simply put, the leaders at the Globe have not done their jobs and should not have them anymore. Firing the employees at the top will deliver a significant cost savings and bring new ideas to the table.
The union workers have done their jobs. Papers get written, printed and delivered every day. It is not their failure, but a failure at the top. It's not harsh, it's reality. The job of the leaders of the Globe is to ensure it is profitable. It's not profitable so the leaders should be given the boot.
Side note, due to the ludicrous nature of most contracts for high level employees, it's likely that the leaders have clauses in their contracts that activate lucrative severance payouts so this move may not be a huge cost savings but fresh leadership will still do the Globe good.
Look, I'm not going to pay the Globe for news. It's not going to happen. For one, the quality and integrity of their investigative journalism is debatable. Second, the cat is already out of the bag. The Globe and newspapers all around the country already offer their product for free, they will not be successful now taking this free news back and pushing subscriptions on us.
But, sports, especially in the City of Boston, is a whole different animal. We are extreme fanatics in this city and devour sports information like no other. Offer a basic sports section for free but for in-depth sports coverage require a small paid subscription. Sure, lots of people won't buy it and will simply move on to the Herald or ESPN or WEEI or any number of local and national sports outlets, but a significant amount of people will give in to their sports addiction and sign up for premium sports coverage.
There are lots of people like me who haven't bought a physical newspaper in years and don't plan on ever doing so again. The last time I bought a print newspaper was in 2004 to have a memento of the Sox World Series victory. That's right, I haven't bought a newspaper in almost five years. And why should I? I can get updated news for free online in a much more convenient format. Let's all face facts here, printed subscription numbers are going to keep dropping. The Boston Globe should team up with other newspapers and invest in e-paper to drive its cost down.
Another option put forward by Dan Kennedy is to offer all subscribers a Kindle. I'm not opposed to this idea and the Kindle 2 is a great device that is very close to e-paper but perhaps offering Kindles on Boston.com with an Amazon affiliate link is a better way to earn money and convince readers to ditch paper.
Boston.com gets almost 6 million unique visitors every month. Add a video news section, keep those visitors there and appeal to a whole new audience. I haven't watched TV news in forever but would probably tune in to a Boston.com video newscast. It's worth a shot and could be done for a minimal cost. Hire some of the existing great videobloggers in Boston and integrate them into your site. Videos keep eyeballs at your site and increase what you can charge for ads.
And if you're going to go after Google, don't forget the other news aggregators of the world. Universal Hub has ads on their site and posts excerpts from articles, they must be stealing!
But seriously, work with Google, bloggers and news aggregators to deliver more and more traffic to your site. Don't place your blame externally, look internally to find the true source of your issues.
Sure, newspapers offer free news online but that's not enough. Stop blaming google and bloggers for your drop in numbers and instead embrace them. Bloggers are often some of the best news consumers, but mainstream newspapers are trashing us and placing the blame for their failures on us.
Check out the website for a local newspaper, The Dorchester Reporter, to see how it's done correctly. The Dot Reporter recently redesigned their entire website with a huge focus on interactivity and local bloggers. They have open comments on every single article on the site and list the latest five posts from area bloggers right on their homepage, with a permanent link back to the blogger.
The Globe on the other hand offers comments on some articles and lists less than a handful of local bloggers on their homepage. And after you move off the homepage your link back to your article disappears forever. I know because I've been featured on Boston.com a few times now, and while the temporary traffic is nice the next day the link and the traffic disappears. Worse than the loss of traffic is the disappearance of the link back, which is commonly accepted on the web as a form of attribution. It's a shady, shady move.
Large newspapers constantly complain about bloggers "stealing" their content, but then they go right ahead and use an excerpt from my blog (which is what many large newspapers refer to as "stealing) and then don't provide a permanent link back to my post. In essence, they take my content, use it temporarily, and then ditch the author attribution. So when I use an excerpt from a mainstream newspaper article and link back to it permanently, it's called stealing. But when they post my excerpt and don't link back to it permanently it's called promotion/helping the little guy out. Don't get me wrong, I appreciate the traffic boost from Boston.com linking to my blog, but I'd appreciate it even more if they provided a permanent link instead of a temporary one. It's simply good practice and common courtesy on the web.
Allow comments on all articles, allow commenters to place an no-followed URL to their site (e.g. like my comment system below and nearly ever other comment system on the web), and for the sake of consistency and clarity provide permanent links to any bloggers you feature or excerpt. It's the right thing to do and will encourage us to visit your site more often. Plus, your readers can then continue to find my content and aren't left to wonder who wrote that great post about living car-free for a year.
Simple step. Stop promoting gossip, rumors and other non-news. Report just the news and do it well. The real reason your newspaper readership is dropping is because you're more concerned with stirring the pot or appeasing the elite than reporting the truth. Honestly, mainstream newspapers have taken a stumble down in terms of quality from their glory years. We don't need the latest celebrity gossip, we do need an authoritative source to find and tell us the truth, not blindly repackage a press release, push it out and call it news.
When you need to explicitly describe to your readers what newspapers do instead of showing them, you're doing something wrong.

Haturku thanks for the great post..
here's what i would propose: let the paper go bankrupt, restructure the union agreements, shut down or dramatically scale back the print version, focus on great hyper-local and regional content, and distribute / syndicate via the web. it's a painful solution but one that would work in my humble opinion.
@OEM, Yes, but the shift to online media should have made it easier for newspapers. It provides them an easy to use, relatively low cast fast distribution method. They can update stories on the fly and deliver breaking news ASAP. Instead, they didn't realize they need to embrace web culture and instead tried to develop their own culture.
@David I agree with Daniel, we can never have enough quality investigative journalism, which is why I read Boston.com and Dotnews.com near daily. It's a shame that the internet and union workers are being blamed, indirectly, for the financial problems of the Globe.
Great points schlaf. The only point I disagree with is letting the paper go bankrupt. I'd rather see it bought out by a local owner(s) before it got to that point simply to avoid the massive job loss that a bankruptcy will entail. Yes, jobs will likely be lost no matter what but a bankruptcy might be the end of the paper for good.
Hopefully, they utilize mine and your tips and scale back the paper version and embrace the web and other digital distribution methods (kindle or e-paper). Innovation and moving forward is crucial to the Globe and all newspapers right now. They're operating on old business models in a new world.
This is a great article and tips. Though, I wonder, how could the paper recruit new talent to replace those on top? It's a difficult sell after the PR the paper industry has received.
In regards to pay structure (and I think the same should go for most organizations): Perhaps compensation along the lines of sales people? Offer a draw program with commissions and bonuses based on profitability? Could this attract some innovative and entrepreneurial individuals who are motivated and not afraid of risks?
Well Justin, I think you answered your own question. There are tons of entrepreneurs who would jump at the chance to fix the Globe and the newspaper industry in general. That is exactly how they could recruit fresh talent, by incentivizing the position and rewarding quality performance.
I also agree with you that many organizations should base their pay structure on performance, not on tenure-ship or rank. There are far too many people who are underpaid but over-perform. These people eventually become demotivated to continue performing at a high level and we all lose because of it. In a truly capitalist system, performance would be the sole basis for payment.
We should not base all pay completely on performance in all organizations. There are many jobs where a presence is just as important as performance. For instance, police officers shouldn't be paid based on how many arrests they make, but rather should be paid to patrol areas and perform their duties well. One could argue that how well they patrol their areas and their arrest accuracy rate could be an indicator of performance but it's a bit of a slippery slope, especially as officers would then be discouraged from patrolling high crime areas.
But, for the example of the newspaper industry, good investigative journalism and introducing a good profitable distribution method for that journalism should be rewarded and if it was many entrepreneurs would jump at the chance to take over.
No print edition on Tuesdays and Thursdays – It is kind of sad. I usually have some time before work on Thursday to read a newspaper. Well… It looks like I need to find something else to read, a book maybe.
A paper goes well with coffee and cigarette in the morning. Since I quit smoking, I found myself drinking very little coffee, not reading the paper anymore in the mornings, for a little more time in bed.
This leaves me to the epapers at work. So I have to agree with you that they should focus more on the epaper and drop the Tuesday and Thursday editions. Not that many people read them anyway.
Embracing the internet might be a good idea. The thing is if they knew how they would've already done that. And cashing in from the internet is pretty difficult if you don't know what you're doing.
That's exactly the reason that newspapers are struggling. Because despite what people like yourself may say, no one gives a crap about actual news. There's a reason that stuff isn't in the paper anymore. It's because no one reads it. When surfing the web and given the choice between a story on LOL cats, or an investigative piece on shady land deals, most people are going to choose the LOL cats.
And that's not what newspapers are for.
You say you haven't bought a newspaper in five years, but there's no way you're reading local news coverage online. I can guarantee you have no idea about how your local government works and where your local tax dollars go. Which is why you write about music and pop culture mostly.
And guess what, news does break on Tuesdays and Thursdays. Local news. Stuff that impacts you way more than the bloviating political sideshow of national politics. Until bloggers start sitting in on city council meetings, digging through city contracts, harassing sources and local officials and risking million dollar libel lawsuits for their efforts, newspapers are the only places you can read this stuff.
The Globe needs to stop giving away it's content for free. And people need to show some civic pride and get interested in what goes on around them. That's what will save newspapers.
Right now, the Globe is having an identity crisis. They want to be seen as a source for real news but then continue to print stories about celebrity gossip and lol cat stories that will drive web traffic but discredit their journalistic identity.
You're absolutely right that lol cats are not what newspapers are for. Yet, if you read through the Globe there's tons of silly stories that are not real, actual news.
You say we should have civic pride and get interested in what's going on around us. Well, I think the City of Boston has tons of pride and the citizens are interested in real news but we get confused when we go to what is arguably the most respected newspaper in town and get dowsed with stories about Tom Brady and Giselle or John Henry and his young wife or rumors about vampires at the Latin school and so on.
The Globe should pick one side, either deliver real actual news or deliver celebrity gossip. Doing both doesn't work and makes both sides weaker.
I actually wouldn't be willing to pay for sports. But, I'm betting a good amount of Bostonians would pay for sports.
There's also a plethora of resources online for local news coverage. Check out universalhub.com, which aggregates content from a variety of sources. That and many of the local neighborhood papers are online now.
Not saying that news does not break on Tuesdays and Thursdays. What I am saying is that in the 24/7 news cycle brought on by TV and the internet, the newspapers are usually not the first source for breaking news. By the time the print edition rolls around that bit of breaking news has already been broadcast on TV and published on the internet. Trying to keep up with the 24/7 news cycle in print format is a losing battle.
I think bloggers are slowly embracing more of a journalist role, but the transition will be slow. For one, a single blogger simply doesn't have the resources of a major newspaper. There are bloggers who cover city council meetings and try to provide investigative journalism but major newspapers are better prepared to do so right now.
Also, you contradict yourself. You say that actual news isn't in the papers anymore because it doesn't appeal to the masses but conclude that the major papers are the only places to get actual local news…which is it Matt?
I applaud you for placing part of the blame on the Globe for giving away its content for free, but blaming citizens for not wanting to read a publication isn't the answer. As seen by the uprising of support for the Globe, there is a public demand for real news.

Could YOU Eat Mealworms, Crickets and Cockroaches Every Day for a Month?

©. 30 Days of Bugs
Sustainable Eating
Thrift & Minimalism
Insects are a sensible and ecologically friendly source of protein, and yet 'entomophagy' revolts most Westerners. Here's how one student is trying to change that mentality.
Cam Brantley-Rios is doing something that most of us associate with nightmares. The senior student from Auburn University has embarked on a month-long challenge to eat insects at least three times a day. He is chronicling his adventure on a blog titled "30 Days of Bugs."
As he explains on the blog, Cam has known about the benefits of entomophagy (the scientific term for "eating insects") for a while, and has been telling friends and family about it since last year, but he figured it was time to practice what he preached:
"This is an experiment. I want to see how feasible it is for anyone to include insects in a normal diet. Can they really be used on a daily basis? Do they actually taste good? What's the best way to cook them? Is the cultural barrier even easy to overcome? I'm going to find out and I want to share my experience with you."
Surprisingly, the photos of Cam's daily meals are not as disgusting as I expected. The mealworm burgers, cricket flour cookies, breakfast smoothies and protein bars, pasta alfredo with waxworms and veggies, bags of roasted worms for snacking, and Creole-style red beans and rice with spiced mealworms actually looked OK, once I got over the initial ick factor and looked at enough pictures to normalize it somewhat.

When put it into perspective, what Cam's doing makes a lot of sense. There's no reason why our Western obsession with cooking dead, bloody animal parts should be any less gross than insects; it all comes down to cultural norms. National Geographic reported in its September 2014 issue that, in Uganda, a pound of crickets still costs more than a pound of beef because it's considered a delicacy. People in Ghana eat termites; beekeepers in China consume bee larvae; Australian Aborigines eat grubs; aquatic fly larvae are popular in Japan; dewinged dragonflies are boiled in coconut milk in Bali. In Latin America, entomophagy even includes roasted tarantulas (via National Geographic).
From an environmental standpoint, insects use a fraction of the resources required to raise livestock for consumption. It takes an estimated 1,000 times less water to produce the same quantity of insects as it does to produce beef. One pound of beef requires 10 pounds of feed to produce, whereas one pound of crickets takes only 2 pounds of feed. You can also eat the entire creature, instead of discarding an estimated 60 percent of a cow (i.e. bones, hooves, hide) for being inedible.
I applaud Cam for what he's doing because I realize the great value in exploring the world of entomophagy if we expect to feed the increasing number of protein-hungry mouths on our planet. The more people who can normalize eating bugs, the better off we'll be in the long run. For the rest of February, I'll be keeping a close eye on Cam's blog. I'm very curious to see how the cockroach-eating goes. I might even order a bag of cricket flour, since that seems a good place to start.

Wheeler co-authored the book with M. Ronald Buckley, the JC Penney Company Chair of Business Leadership and a Professor of Management and Psychology at the University of Oklahoma.
The book traces provocative and challenging timelines for future developments in ten, thirty and fifty years' time, to interrogate how modern human resources practices need to respond to far reaching technological and industrial change. As artificial intelligence and machine learning practices grow, entire industries and jobs could become more automated or cease to exist altogether.
Focusing on the role these technologies are playing in changing the human resources profession and how they could and should develop industry practices in the future, Wheeler and Buckley explored how this profession has a vital role in responding to these changes and how it can adapt to meet the new challenges faced by both employers and employees.
The book is available on Amazon.

Homeless housing proposal at old supermarket…
Homeless housing proposal at old supermarket site sparks concern
The former Dick's Supermarket site is being considered as a site to house formerly homeless people
The old Dick's Supermarket on the intersection of North Fourth Street and East Younger Avenue in San Jose, Calif., on Wednesday, May 1, 2019. On Tuesday evening a proposal to build homeless housing on the old supermarket site was discussed. (Randy Vazquez/Bay Area News Group)
By Emily DeRuy | ederuy@bayareanewsgroup.com | Bay Area News Group
PUBLISHED: May 1, 2019 at 4:39 pm | UPDATED: May 2, 2019 at 12:50 pm
A proposal to build housing for formerly homeless people has some San Jose residents concerned it will make their neighborhood less safe and increase parking and traffic problems in an already busy area.
The organization People Assisting The Homeless — commonly referred to as PATH — wants to develop a four- or five-story apartment building on the old Dick's Supermarket site at the corner of North 4th Street and East Younger Ave., just north of Japantown.
For homeless advocacy organizations, the location makes sense. It's near public transportation, not far from a homeless shelter where potential residents might currently sleep, and close to organizations like LifeMoves that provide supportive services. And PATH — which is building similar housing called Villas on the Park near St. James Park and works across the state — has committed to having staff and support on site.
But at a community meeting Tuesday evening — which overlapped with a City Council meeting, thus precluding the area's councilman, Raul Peralez, from attending — some neighbors pushed back at the idea. They raised concerns about everything from crime and drug use to density. The lot sits near a number of low-slung single-family homes, and some residents worried the project — which could include more than 100 units — would be out of place.
"We've had in the past couple of years quite a bit of problems with homelessness," said Gene Yoneda, the owner of Minato Restaurant, a short walk away.
Already there is a neighborhood Facebook group where people are opposing the idea, saying the area lacks infrastructure to support the project. There isn't a functioning grocery store within close walking distance, and residents complain of a slow police response to transients causing disturbances in the area. Pair those concerns with the fact that Union Pacific recently started blasting train horns in the middle of the night on the nearby train track, and some residents are losing patience.
"It's the straw breaking the camel's back," said one woman who declined to be identified.
Megan Colvard, the regional director at PATH San Jose, said the organization wanted to hear community feedback and was already taking it into account. For instance, PATH is exploring the possibility of putting a grocery store on the ground floor.
Responding to complaints, Colvard said getting people off the streets will solve problems such as their storing items on sidewalks or not having a place to go to the bathroom.
"We are most helpful in the neighborhoods where people are experiencing the impact of homelessness," Colvard said. "We're very experienced in this model."
"Of course people have concerns," acknowledged Jen Loving, the executive director of Destination: Home, another homeless advocacy organization. "It's hard to understand what it could look like."
However, Loving said at the meeting, residents should be glad to have PATH exploring new projects to address homelessness in San Jose, where more than 4,000 people lack stable housing on any given night.
"They're top shelf," she said.
But Tamiko Rast, who lives near the site, is concerned about what could happen if the funding PATH relies on to offer such housing runs out in the future.
"We need to give this facility careful consideration because the people it aims to serve are not dollar signs," Rast said. "We have to be respectful of the care they will require, not just now but in the future for their own long-term health."
Rast pointed out that residents may struggle with challenges such as substance abuse.
"So putting them next to a bar probably is not the best idea," she said, adding that she'd be open to seeing housing for teachers on the site.
Right now, it's unclear whether the project will move forward and there is no set timeline, although Colvard said typically such projects take several years.
"This project would be an automatic benefit to our community because it would help take homeless off of our streets, and out of our creeks and from under our bridges, and it would get them into permanent housing. Additionally this is supportive housing, so it would benefit our community because it would also relieve our police officers, firefighters, EMTs, and emergency rooms from being the default solutions, which currently costs taxpayers over $500,000,000 per year," Councilman Peralez said in a statement, thanking PATH for engaging with the community early in the process. "Permanent Supportive Housing in and of itself can be a tremendous benefit to the thousands of constituents that call council offices every year asking us to do something about the illegally camped homeless living in their neighborhoods."
While the site is currently zoned for commercial use, San Jose allows projects that offer 100 percent affordable housing and meet a few other requirements to be built on such land. The city has not been able to keep up with demand for affordable housing and rents are some of the highest in the nation, with many families at risk of falling into homelessness.
Yet some neighbors said their downtown district is being asked to take on more than its fair share of the city's homelessness problem.
Loving understands that sentiment, but said "everyone has to do more."
"It can't just be in a few districts," she said, "but that doesn't mean this isn't a good location."

POLL: Democratic 2020 Primary – Arizona
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE November 19, 2019
Biden Leads the Pack for Democratic Primary
Three-way race in Arizona
PHOENIX (November 19th, 2019) – After a disappointing summer nationally for Joe Biden, the former vice president can take solace in the Grand Canyon State: He maintains a healthy double-digit lead against his closest Democratic presidential primary competitors.
According to the latest OHPI survey, Biden is the top candidate among likely Democratic Presidential Primary voters in Arizona for the 2020 election garnering 29 percent support, with Elizabeth Warren in second earning 18 percent, and Bernie Sanders rounding out the top 3 with 16 percent. No other candidates received more than 10% support.
"Despite the historically large Democratic Primary field, it's actually a three-way race in Arizona with Joe Biden showing strongest support among many demographic groups," said Mike Noble, Chief of Research and Managing Partner of Phoenix-based research company OH Predictive Insights.
While Biden is leading state-wide, support varies across different parts of the state. More people (32%) in vote-rich Maricopa county say Biden is their preferred candidate — greater than the combined support for Warren and Sanders. However, further south in Pima County, the second-most populous county in the state both Biden and Sanders have double the support of Warren. Among the rest of Arizona's 15 counties, Warren leads Biden and Sanders by 5 points and 4 points, respectively.
Among Hispanic voters — a key constituency for Democrats in Arizona — Bernie Sanders and Joe Biden are dominating the field with nearly 2 out of every 3 Hispanic voters saying that one of these two men is their preferred choice. In third place is Julian Castro, the only Latino still in the race, receiving 8% of the vote.
Education is proving to be another cause of division in the primary so far. Warren gains the support of nearly 1 in 3 Democratic voters who have a postgraduate degree. Among Democrats with only a Bachelor's degree, the race is much closer with only 6 points separating the 3 frontrunners. However, Joe Biden is doing nearly 3 times as well as Warren among voters without a college degree and almost twice as well as Sanders with this group.
Methodology: This survey was conducted via an opt-in online panel.

Maamba Collieries, majority owned by Singaporean miner Nava Bharat Pte (65%), has pushed back to 2015 the completion of its 300 megawatt coal-fired power plant due to delays in "getting environmental approvals". Nava Bharat plans to revive the operations of the Maamba mine and build the coal-fired power plant. Construction, which was initially due to start last year, would begin next month and the power project is likely to be completed in 2015 instead of 2014. According to a detailed layout of the project, the plant would initially produce 300 MW and later add another 300 MW.

The Supreme Court on Monday declined to decide whether a key provision of the 1965 Voting Rights Act is constitutional, sidestepping by an 8-1 vote the dilemma at the heart of a closely watched case.
The disputed provision gives the U.S. Justice Department power to review proposed election-law changes in several states, mostly in the South, and many other counties and municipalities, where race discrimination had been most flagrant. The case was shaping up to be a defining test of an ideologically split court that has been increasingly suspicious of government policies attempting to remedy racial bias.
Yet, the justices opted to avoid the constitutional question and, rather, narrowly decided that it should be easier for certain political jurisdictions to be exempt from the so-called pre-clearance requirements.
The decision generally would allow all counties and other political subdivisions that can show they have not used a forbidden voting test or other discriminatory measure for 10 years to be free of Justice Department oversight.
Only Justice Clarence Thomas, the current court's only African American, said the justices should have decided the looming constitutional issue. He would have struck down the law.
The Voting Rights Act, a landmark of Congress' civil rights agenda in the 1960s, has been repeatedly renewed by Congress and upheld by the Supreme Court over the years.
A small Texas utility district challenged the provision after the 2006 renewal. The utility district said the law unconstitutionally infringed on state powers and, in a practical vein, was no longer necessary because of changes in voter registration and turnout by racial minorities.
The challengers and other critics of the Voting Rights Act said the election of the nation's first black president, Barack Obama, showed that the law was no longer needed. The law's defenders, including the Justice Department in both the Bush and Obama administrations, said minorities still face intimidation and discrimination at the polls.
When the justices heard oral arguments in April, several conservative justices, including Chief Justice John Roberts, suggested they agreed with the challengers that the historic law that had aided once-disenfranchised blacks was no longer needed.
When Roberts announced the court's ruling Monday, he struck some of that theme and intimated that a majority might someday be ready to strike down the law.
"Things have changed in the South," Roberts said.
Yet for now, the law survives through an apparent compromise among the justices across the ideological spectrum.
Affected by the narrow ruling is the requirement that covered jurisdictions not change their electoral laws without approval by the Department of Justice. That was intended to ensure that a local government did not draw new voting-district boundaries or enact rules that would dilute the votes of blacks or other minorities.
A separate, underutilized provision of the law allows districts to opt out from Justice Department review, for example, if the districts can show that they have not used any forbidden voting tests for a decade and can show they have "engaged in constructive efforts to eliminate intimidation and harassment" of voters.
The Justice Department had long interpreted the law to strictly limit which jurisdictions could apply to opt out. Roberts said that since 1982, only 17 jurisdictions - out of more than 12,000 covered political jurisdictions - have successfully been exempt from the act. He said it was unlikely that Congress intended the so-called "bail out" provision to have such limited effect.
Monday's opinion gives all covered jurisdictions a chance to make the case to lift Justice Department oversight.
Roberts was joined in full by Justices John Paul Stevens, Antonin Scalia, Anthony Kennedy, David Souter, Ruth Bader Ginsburg, Stephen Breyer and Samuel Alito. Justice Thomas concurred in the judgment but dissented from the part of the opinion declining to decide the constitutionality of the law.
Saying he would find the act unconstitutional, Thomas, wrote, "The extensive pattern of discrimination that led the court to previously uphold Section 5 as enforcing the Fifteenth Amendment (right to vote) no longer exists. Covered jurisdictions are not now engaged in a systematic campaign to deny black citizens access to the ballot through intimidation and violence."

1930 Cessna CG-2 Glider
Permanent event at the EAA in Oshkosh, United States
1930 Cessna CG-2 Glider. Courtesy of EAA
The Great Depression hit the U.S. aircraft industry hard and the Cessna Aircraft Company was no exception. People didn't have the money to buy airplanes nor were there any significant investment funds available to help keep aircraft companies solvent. Clyde Cessna did his best to keep the company's doors open and convince his directors that there was still a market for airplanes, but it was a dark time for the company. Cessna's son Eldon came up with an interim solution: gliders. If they could produce something simple and cheap, it might just keep the company afloat - and keep people interested in flying - until they could afford more advanced, powered aircraft.
The CG-2, inspired by some of the German primary gliders of the day, was introduced in 1930, with an ad campaign that promised that "man might fly first, without power, in safety." The price was $398 (about $5,700 in 2015 dollars) for the aircraft and a bungee-based launch system, crated and ready for shipment. Also included was an assembly manual; one of the reasons the CG-2 was so cheap was that it was a true do-it-yourself project and was shipped as a kit. Once built, it could be launched using the bungee cord method, or be towed by car or airplane.
Some accounts state that Cessna produced at least 300 CG-2s, but that's not confirmed. However many they produced, they didn't sell enough to keep the company from closing its doors for two years, starting in 1932. There are two known CG-2s on display in museums: ours and one at the Museum of Flight in Seattle, Washington.
The Cessna CG-2 glider was donated to the EAA AirVenture Museum by Leland Hanselman and C. VanAirsdale.

Q: constructor functions inside an object? I was working on creating a bunch of objects within an object and I thought it would be a good idea to put a constructor as an object property to encapsulate everything a bit further for example.
//surprisingly you can't do this it returns an error
// Uncaught TypeError: this.Dogs is not a constructor
 let dogs={
      keagon: new this.Dog("keagon","shih sue"),
      spike: new this.Dog("spike","lab"),
      Dog: function(name,breed){
         this.name=name;
        this.breed=breed;
    }
 }

//nor can you do this

 let dogs2={
      keagon: new dogs2.Dog("keagon","shih sue"),
      spike: new dogs2.Dog("spike","lab"),
      Dog: function(name,breed){
         this.name=name;
        this.breed=breed;
    }
 }
// this again returns an error
//Uncaught ReferenceError: dogs2 is not defined
//this leads me to believe you cant access objects within themselves
//without the this key word correct? If so, I find a that a bit surprising
//because you can call functions within themselves.

//I was able to encapsulate like I wanted, by storing the newly created
//objects as properties of their constructor, for example

function Dog(name,breed){
      this.name=name;
      this.breed=breed;
}
Dog.dogs={
          keagon: new Dog("keagon","shih sue"),
          spike: new Dog("spike","lab")
         }
  // Dog.dogs.keagon > outputs Dog {name: "keagon", breed: "shih sue"}
  //keagon object is a object type of object and not of function so it also
  //inherits all the Object methods

So is there a way to put put constructors and object properties if not is there a reason you can't put constructors in objects, but you can store objects on their constructors and is doing this a bad idea? Would creating objects and storing them on their constructor to encapsulate them be bad practice? Are there any problems that can occur that I'm not aware of?

A: I think you can't declare a variable and use it in itself on his construction.
You can do like this
let dogs2={
      Dog: function(name,breed){
         this.name=name;
        this.breed=breed;
    }
 }

And
dogs2.keagon= new dogs2.Dog("keagon","shih sue");
dogs2.spike= new dogs2.Dog("spike","lab");

This way you'll get the result you wanted.

JUVENILIA: EARLY WRITINGS OF ELIZABETH SMART.
Edited by Alice Van Wart.
Van Wart has selected representative works from Smart's writings—poems, satires, a play, stories and illustrations —completed when Smart was a teenager. The book begins with a preface written by the editor explaining the genesis of the book. The book then follows with an introduction written by Betty Smart, dated September 21, 1929.
Although I enjoyed most of the writings, I did find many of the early ones depressing. Perhaps the sombre tone is the result of Smart's being an invalid. (When Smart was eleven years old, she became ill with what was suspected to be a leaky heart valve, and she had to spend a year at home, six months of that time in bed.) I found the later writings imaginative. I did find it difficult to determine the appropriate reading level for this book because, although Smart was only twelve when she began writing these pieces, I found many of the works difficult to understand. An interesting highlight, though, is the inclusion of some of Smart's original handwritten text and drawings.
Van Wart, herself a published poet, has also edited In. the Meantime: A Collection of Poetry and Prose by Elizabeth Smart (Deneau, 1984) and Necessary Secrets (Deneau. 1986), Smarts' journals from 1933 to 1941.
Juvenilia would be a recommended purchase for secondary school libraries and public libraries developing a collection of contemporary Canadian women writers.

Trump's Terrible Record on Property Rights
The President's recent threat to use "the military version of eminent domain" to seize property for his border wall is just the tip of a larger iceberg of policies and legal positions inimical to constitutional property rights.
Ilya Somin | 1.5.2019 3:13 PM
Eminent Domain. Art work by Richard Weinstein (used with permission).
President Trump's recent threat to use "the military version of eminent domain" to seize property for his border wall highlights the ways in which building the wall would harm the property rights of Americans. Less widely recognized is the fact that the wall policy is just part of a larger pattern of administration policy initiatives and legal positions that threaten property rights on multiple fronts.
Though federal law allows the federal government to use eminent domain for purposes of building military facilities, including "fortifications," there is no special "military version" of eminent domain, as such. But whether Trump tries to use this law or some other one to seize property for the wall, the fact remains that less than one third of the land he would need is currently owned by the federal government. The rest would have to be seized from private owners, Native American tribes, and state governments. That would require the forcible displacement of hundreds or even thousands of homes, businesses, and other private facilities. It would be the largest such use of eminent domain in many years. Moreover, the record of previous condemnations for border barriers shows that the Department of Homeland Security has a notorious history of violating procedural rights and shortchanging property owners on the compensation they are due under the Constitution. The same sorts of abuses are likely to recur on a larger scale if Trump gets the money to build his much more extensive wall.
During the 2016 presidential campaign, Donald Trump claimed that victims of takings have nothing to complain about because "when eminent domain is used on somebody's property, that person gets a fortune." The history of border takings - and many other condemnations - proves otherwise.
The wall is far from the only administration policy that threatens property rights, however. There are several other almost equally troubling examples.
In 2017, Attorney General Jeff Sessions reinstituted asset forfeiture policies under which the federal government colludes with state and local law enforcement to seize large amounts of property with little or nor due process, and often from people who have never been convicted of any crime or even charged with one. While Sessions is gone, the asset forfeiture policy remains, and Trump himself is a strong supporter of broad asset forfeiture authority, even threatening to "destroy" the political career of a GOP state legislator who sought to curb it.
In the aftermath of Hurricane Harvey, the US Army Corps of Engineers flooded thousands of homes and businesses in Houston, arguing that this was necessary to prevent even worse flooding elsewhere. When affected property owners sued for compensation under the Takings Clause of the Fifth Amendment, the federal government argued that no compensation is due in cases where the government floods the property "only" once - even if the flooding was done deliberately and inflicted enormous damage. If accepted by the courts, the "one free flood" rule would give the government a near-blank check to flood property (and perhaps damage or destroy it in other ways), so long as it was "just" a one-time occurrence. I don't claim that the administration should have simply conceded liability in the Hurricane Harvey cases. In some cases, it is not clear whether the plaintiffs' property was damaged by the Corps' actions, or whether it would have suffered comparable damage regardless, from natural causes. But the "one free flood" argument is an extremely dangerous and reprehensible position that goes far beyond contesting liability in individual cases where the facts are arguable.
Since Trump took office, the Supreme Court has heard two important takings cases, Murr v. Wisconsin and Knick v. Township of Scott. The administration supported the wrong position in both cases. In Murr, the Justice Department filed an amicus brief supporting a rule that will often allow government to deny compensation for takings merely because the owner of the property in question also owns another adjacent lot. While the brief was initially drafted late in the Obama administration, the Trump administration decided to proceed with it and defend it in oral argument before the Court, despite requests by conservative property rights advocates urging them to desist.
In Knick, the Justice Department's amicus brief offers a dubious and hypercomplex "Klingon forehead" argument that would preserve large parts of the 1985 Williamson County decision, a deeply problematic ruling that creates a constitutional Catch 22 for property owners seeking to file cases challenging state and local government takings in federal court [but see second update below].
The administration's decision to involve itself in these two cases is all the more telling because both involve state and local governments. The federal government could easily have stayed out of them. An administration committed to protecting property rights could, of course, have filed briefs supporting the property owners.
Arguments advocated in administration briefs in important federal court cases, especially those that reach the Supreme Court are more than just insignificant rhetorical fluff. Historically, positions taken by the Justice Department Solicitor General have often had disproportionate influence in judicial decision-making. That's why the SG is often called the "tenth justice" of the Supreme Court.
There is one notable exception to the administration's otherwise troubling record on property rights: the appointment of Neil Gorsuch to the Supreme Court. Gorsuch, it turns out, is a strong critic of Kelo v. City of New London, the dubious 2005 decision in which the Supreme Court ruled that the government can take private property and transfer it to another private party in order to promote "economic development." The appointment is especially notable, given that Trump himself is a longstanding enthusiastic defender of Kelo. I suspect that Gorsuch got through in part because Trump simply did not know about his views on Kelo at the time he was appointed, and in part because the president has largely outsourced judicial selection to more conventional conservatives, most of whom do not share the president's views on this issue.
It is also likely the case that property rights were not a central focus in the administration's calculations on judicial appointments (including lower court appointees, some of whom also have good records on these issues). Brett Kavanaugh, the administration's other Supreme Court appointee, has virtually no known record on constitutional property rights issues, so it is not yet clear where he stands on them. Where the administration has made decisions on issues where property rights are a central focus of dispute, property owners have usually gotten the short of end of the stick, as the examples discussed above illustrate.
Some of the Trump administration's policies on these issues are similar to those of the Obama administration, which also had an awful record on property rights, including adopting positions so extreme that they led to multiple lopsided unanimous or near-unanimous defeats in Supreme Court takings cases. On asset forfeiture, however, Trump actually reversed an Obama policy that had strengthened protection for property owners. In any event, here, as elsewhere, Obama's poor record in this field is no excuse for Trump. The Republicans, after all, are supposed to be the party that supports property rights.
The administration's attacks on property rights may in part be a result of Trump's history of benefiting from eminent domain abuse, which is the likely origin of his support for Kelo. But the problem goes beyond his personal proclivities. It is part of a broader pattern under which the Trump-era Republican Party has gradually shifted from conservatism to nationalism, as its dominant ideology. Nationalists, like the European far-right movements whom Trump and his most committed supporters admire, generally favor extensive government intervention and control of the economy so long as the perceived beneficiaries are members of the "right" racial and ethnic groups. Thus, they are happy to downgrade property rights (and economic liberties) that might be obstacles to government control of the economy in the interests of "the nation."
Nationalists also are traditionally hostile to procedural protections for individual rights that might inhibit law enforcement or government acquisition of property supposedly needed for "national" purposes. The administration's policies on asset forfeiture and the wall obviously fit that template. The administration's stances on Knick, Murr, and the Houston flooding cases do not immediately implicate nationalist priorities. But undercutting constitutional protections for property rights in these instances can make it easier to seize or destroy property for nationalist purposes in the future.
The extent to which Trumpian nationalism consolidates and extends its control of the Republican Party remains to be seen. But the longer it lasts and the further it goes, the more the party is likely to be at best indifferent and at worst actively hostile to property rights.
NOTE: I should perhaps mention that the account of the administration's decision to oppose property rights in Murr v. Wisconsin, despite requests to the contrary by conservative property rights advocates, is based on my personal knowledge of the development of the case, in which I authored an amicus brief on behalf of nine state governments that supported the property owners. However, the views expressed in this post are purely my own and don't necessarily reflect those of my clients in that matter.
UPDATE: I have added a brief passage to this post on the importance of positions taken by the administration in federal court cases, especially those that reach the Supreme Court.
UPDATE (Jan. 16): After studying the administration's position in Knick more closely, I think it is more favorable to the property rights side than I suggest above. I may expand on that in a future post, if time permits. I will link to that post here when and if it goes up. In the meantime, I think it is proper to note this revision of my view on the case, here.

A Brief History of the Humble Chip Butty
An evolution from the chip barms of the 19th century to an £8.95 Michelin-starred sandwich with aged Parmesan.

"First thing's first, you should be calling it a chip barm because the pillow-like barm cake is crucial," one chip shop owner tells me.
"You need thick white bread, salted butter that's even thicker than that and lashings of table salt and vinegar," says another. A third – unsurprisingly from the south – adds: "I love cheesy chips, so we've added grated Parmesan to ours and serve it on sourdough."
They are, of course, each explaining how they make the perfect chip butty.
Last month, when Burger King announced that it was launching a Chip Burger ("a patty-less sandwich with French fries, mayo and ketchup wedged in between two buns", as the fast food chain described it in a statement), social media erupted. "So, it's a chip sandwich," one American Twitter user wrote, before adding: "Burger King is guilty of cultural misappropriation." Another user, originally from Birmingham but now living in the US, said: "Lived in America for nearly four months and when Burger King develops a burger with just chips on it, people lose their minds. It's a chip butty ffs."
The creators of the Whopper aren't the first brand to be heckled over chip butties, either. When Food Insider appeared to claim it had discovered the carby snack in 2018, a now much-memed tweet went viral in minutes. "That's just a chip butty hun," read one British response, alongside an image of a chip shop sandwich. Clearly the world is in agreement: the chip butty is ours. But where did it originate? And, seeing as how we claim it so fiercely, can the humble chip butty tell us anything about British identity?
The official line on the chip butty's emergence is that it was born in Lancashire at Britain's second-ever fish and chip shop. Mr Lees, according to the National Federation of Fish Fryers, opened in 1863 as a market stall in Oldham, and quickly became known for its generously sized "chip barms," though the term itself didn't start appearing in dictionaries, books, or even newspapers until well into the 20th century. This, says Professor Rebecca Earle, historian and author of Potato (Object Lessons), is likely a result of "the fish and chip shop and café boom that the 1900s saw" (a boom that has since seen over 10,500 chip shops open around the UK).
"Going back hundreds of years, the north had access to fuel that London and the south simply didn't, which meant home cooking was far better, and of course it is closer to Ireland so had access to its potato supply," Earle explains. There are recipes for chips and "potatoes fried" from as early as the 18th century, she says, "but what set apart the north from the south was its ability to produce chips on a consumer-wide scale, making them – literally – cheap as chips".
Dr Neil Buttery, a chef and food historian from Yorkshire, says there's also a lot of regional politics when it comes to the chip butty, though it's hard to pinpoint minute details about its inception. This is a direct result, he tells me, of the fact that the very people who were making it first – "working class communities in the north of England" – "could not, and did not, write things down."
Though Lancashire is the sandwich's official home, there are other places with prominent working class communities that lay claim to it, too. Liverpool and Ireland have both been posited as its point of origin in the past, and it's also a big part of Yorkshire life. The word "butty", after all, originates from Yorkshire (as slang for "butter"), and aside from Buttery's insistence that "kids were fed them every day at school", Yorkshire's deep-rooted adoration for chip butties is prevalent in popular culture. "The Greasy Chip Butty Song", which became Sheffield United's official football chant in 1985, glorifies life in South Yorkshire and cites everything the county has supposedly created, from the eponymous "greasy chip butty" to "a gallon of Magnet" and "a packet of Woodbines."
Debates aside, however, the butty's actual birthplace is less important, Buttery says, than what it means to the places where it's a staple: "the memories, the comfort, the joy of its simplicity". It's a proudly working class dish – and indeed the idea of class comes up time and again when chip butties are mentioned, so protective are the communities who originated it. John Molnar, whose Nottingham shop The Cod's Scallops was voted best chippy at the National Fish and Chip Awards 2020, tells me: "I'm from a council estate in Nottingham, and I will always remember my mum going out, buying an uncut loaf and a large bag of chips for tea. For us, that was a real treat and that's what I want to create for my customers."
The opinions many hold about working class dishes like the chip butty being gentrified are similar to opinions about working class areas being gentrified: it's unnecessary and invasive. Michelin star chef Paul Ainsworth, originally from Southampton, however, doesn't see it that way. Ainsworth has added a very modern chip butty to the menu at his restaurant in Padstow, Cornwall. Dubbed Cornwall's food capital, Padstow is home to the likes of Rick Stein's flagship venue The Seafood Restaurant and, needless to say, it is worlds away from the chippies of the north where the butty was first created and tasted.
Ainsworth's "elevated" sandwich – which quickly becomes the butt of many a joke by Molnar about the shortcomings of "poncey Cornish salt" compared with the "table salt, always table salt" that he uses – is made with triple cooked chips on toasted sourdough, has an extra eggy mayonnaise and is topped with aged parmesan. Traditionalists, eat your heart out. The difference shows in more than just ingredients too: while Ainsworth charges £8.95 for his "Granny Ainsworth" creation, Molnar's chip butty sits pretty at just £3.20.
Molnar's distaste for the nouveau chip butty – that is, the southern one – raises questions about the need to associate the sandwich with its northern roots. This probably emerges from the simple fact that the humble chip butty is a symbol of just that: humble beginnings.
"It's no coincidence that much of the UK's rich tradition of double carb snacks originate in the north – think chip butties, Hull patties and pie barms," the food writer Jonathan Nunn tells me. "Obviously these things get co-opted by the middle classes – and yes, more chippies in London sell chip butties now, but I personally don't see it ever being properly boujie-fied."
Earle tells me that "food allows us to connect with the very abstract idea of national identity". So whether it's thick white bread and salted butter, calling it a chip barm instead of a chip butty, or having beef dripping fries with aioli on hand crafted tiger bread, the chip butty's journey tells us more about British people's relationship to class, gentrification and even cultural appropriation than it does about food. It could even be viewed as a symbol of the longstanding tension between the working and middle classes in the UK.
Ultimately, says Earle, this is the crux of the matter. "You're acting out your Britishness even by having an opinion about the chip butty." She's right of course – after all what could be more British than exploring what it means to be northern or southern through the history of the chip butty? Maybe writing a 1,000-word article on it?
