Active recovery focused on shoulder mobility today. Need to find some proper wrist stretches. Left wrist has felt like it's needed to "pop" since I started this. Probably a minor injury I hadn't noticed or some severe tension since I haven't been lifting for a while.
GMB again a great source for wrist mob. they have a free video on youtube i think. when i was into calisthenics last year their little routine made a huge difference for me.
Searched for that. Will probably just start doing a little bit of that every morning. Workout so far have all been the last 20 minutes or so before bed. Not necessariy ideal or even the "best" if you ask anyone trying to gain muscle or work towards performance but it's working out right now and I'm even sleeping better so I don't mind. Save for a short stretch at like 3am last night where I was wide awake for a bit, I've been going to sleep a few minutes earlier every night. Hopefully that keeps up and I can actually fall asleep before midnight on a given day.
Accidentally redid day 2 of the GMB free package thing today. Doesn't really matter since I'm just trying to stay active though. The core work/"hollow body" movements remind me a lot of the sort of stuff I did in track back in the day so that was pretty fun actually.
Left shoulder is surprisingly sore after the shoulder mobility stretches. Not really hurting but I can definitely feel it when I'm laying on my left side in bed. We'll see how that keeps up over time.
Finished up last week pretty well then had performances Friday and Sunday so no updates.
Not as sore as when I've tried to just jump straight back into lifting (which usually leaves me barely walking for a week), but I'm still feeling good about the results. Will probably just redo the exercises for this week while I look for a similar program that isn't super boring generic bodyweight stuff. Not much of a budget to go out and buy programs I don't "need" when I haven't had a roommate for a couple months until just recently.
Left shoulder in particular has been noticeably sore. Not in a bad way, I think the exercises and off-day stretching has been helping it and helping stabilitiy. Definitely a bit of soreness each day though.
More of the same mobility exercises. Feeling pretty good about them but after a few concerts and way too much time on a bus with students for a playoff game last friday my hips have felt super tight, especially my right side, so this weekend and today for my off days I've focused on some of these exercises to start loosening things up.
Another week of standing in one place entirely too long and traveling on a bus. Football team is out though, so finally the season is over for my students playing in the band.
More hip flexibility stuff over the weekend.
Repeat 4 times. Will decrease rest as I feel better down to one minute. Need to get a pullup bar.
that reminds me. I think I want to get a 45 degree back extension again.
Carried some seriously heavy boxes of new stuff today for one of my classes. Kids were excited for new stuff, but I must have not noticed how badly the corners were stabbing into my biceps. Have a small spot on the center of my left, and a bigger one ont he bottom of my right bicep that are in a bit of pain and looks sort of spotted from the damage. Shouldn't be too bad hopefully. Just doing shoulder stretches today.
Same routine as last post for M-W-F this past week. Super sore today from helping a friend with rusty over used brakes on a car. Was grinding metal to metal. Took like 6 hours to replace the rears. Don't have many power tools to help so my forearms and back are super sore from so much clamping on vise grips and pulling on stuff.
Anyway, 2 nights ago I slipped in front of my house and hurt my palm pretty bad. Scrape wasn't too big but it was super deep, will upload pic later. Can't put even light weight on it, so I'll probably be doing strictly core/leg stuff this week.
ya that stuff can get u strong af. hah.
i used to work on my grip strength hard, and this electrician next door could destroy me on anything grip related because he uses his hands every day for work. could close the #2 CoC gripper, first try.
Definitely know what that's like. My dad has worked manual labor since he was 13 or 14. He's been the provider pretty much his whole life since his dad died young. Anyway, he's slightly shorter and a bit weaker than me pound for pound... until you compare anything related to hand strength. There was a time in his old job when his shoulder and elbows were so messed up he couldn't even do a pushup. But try to clamp a vise grip and he could basically destroy anything with it. His wrists and fingers are visibly thicker than mine, and not by a small margin either despite being generally as thin or thinner.
Yeah... we'll see how long this thing takes to heal. Mostly trying trying not to let it get infected right now.
interesting about your dad. my dad is similar (probably alot less grip strength in comparison). he is a piano player, whose done lots of "yard work" his whole life (and martial arts/tennis). believe it or not his hands are very strong. his fingers are so much thicker than mine, it's crazy. hah. I think he closed my #1 gripper, first try. I couldn't even close the trainer without tons of work.
damn @ those photos. that looks painful eek!!! put that neosporin on it non-stop heh!
Basically been putting different stuff on it and changing bandaids every 12 hours. Looking much better. Some of the lighter stuff in the second pic is actually some neosporin like stuff left after taking off bandaging. The red spot in the first pic is after healing a bit. was darker before, and that's where all the bleeding was coming from. No debris in it fortunately, but it felt like a thin puncture.

JoeRoot 31 yrs
Born:Dec 30, 1990Sheffield, South Yorkshire,
Right-arm off-break
Joe Root is a modern legend without an iota of doubt and England is very lucky that they have found such a reliable top-order batsman who has the ability to score big. However, his inability to convert starts into big ones in Test cricket especially in the recent past has made life a little difficult for Root. However, he is still a part of the 'Fab 4' of the modern generation and is definitely one of the finest England batsmen to have graced the game.
Root hails from a strong cricketing background. While his father was the captain of Rotherham CC in the Yorkshire League for several years, his brother Billy Root is a regular in the Glamorgan set-up. Root was described as a prodigy and his skills were spotted at a young age. The modern great went onto make his debut for the Yorkshire second XI in July 2007 and made an immediate impression with a half-century.
The rise of Root has been pretty steady. After hogging the limelight with a sensational performance against the Bangladesh U 19, he was awarded a three-year contract with Yorkshire. Soon he went onto establish himself in the middle order and it was in 2011 that Root slammed a sensational double ton against Hampshire. Soon he was rewarded with a call up to the Test side during England's historic tour of India in 2012.
The Sheffield-born batter left an impact in the first Test and scored a 289 minute 73 which proved his mettle and showed the world that the boy wonder was there to rule world cricket. England won the series 2-1 and it was a great learning curve for Root. He was impressive in the ODI's as well and chipped in with some good knocks including a maiden ODI half-century.
Root was going to have a tough time in the Ashes 2013 and smashed a sensational 180 at Lord's and made the world take notice of a legend in the making. It was strokeplay of the highest quality and Root slowly established himself in the middle order. He bagged a central contract with England following his impressive performances and also showcased a gritty performance during the 2013 Champions Trophy which England eventually lost to India in the final.
Root had a great time with the bat in the 2015 Ashes. The star batsman started off the series with a century at Cardiff and followed it up with a century at Nottinghamshire as England retained the Ashes after receiving a 5-0 drubbing the last time around. Root accumulated 460 runs in the series and was instrumental in England regaining the Ashes.
A year later Root went onto register his career-best Test score of 254 against Pakistan. He had already made a name for himself by then and kept on going from strength to strength. After making his debut in India in 2012, the year 2016 was the ideal opportunity for Root to realize his potential. He scored a brilliant century to start off the series but couldn't quite convert his starts into a big one in the latter part of the series. However, he was by far the most productive English batsman during the tour.
Root slammed his fifth double-century in Test cricket in the recently concluded Test series against India in February 2021 and continued his golden patch from the Sri Lanka tour to dominate the Indian bowlers at a placid surface. By doing so, he became the first player in international cricket to slam a double ton on the 100th Test, breaking the previous record of 184 runs held by Inzamam-ul-Haq since 2005.
Besides being a sensational Test player, Root has also been a reliable batsman in the 50 overs format. Time and again he has bailed out England from precarious situations. He has been their mainstay in the middle order and played a pivotal part in the redemption of England post the 2015 World Cup debacle. The split captaincy hasn't quite affected his camaraderie with the limited-overs skipper Eoin Morgan. Root has also been dropped from the T20 side on a few occasions and given a huge pool of big hitters in England, he might not be a feasible option going forward in the shortest format but his services in Test cricket holds an enormous value in English history.

Joe's Bio


"I don't give a damn," he hissed.
You can hiss "sufferin' succotash", but you can't mumble it and you can mumble "I don't give a damn", but you can't hiss it. The sentence has no sibilants.
If we are going to use attributives (she mumbled/he hissed, she said/he said) then we must ensure they match the dialogue. But if the dialogue itself indicates hissing or mumbling, then attributives become superfluous.
Stuttering is starting. Therefore, saying that a character started to stutter is redundant. Why do we need to tell our readers that he stuttered when the character's dialogue shows us? We're always being told "show don't tell", so we must remember that that carries into dialogue as well as into description.
Some how-to-write books tell us not to use attributives at all, even the he said/she saids. But then how are we ever going to show who's speaking? It's not as difficult as you might think: We get to know our characters intimately through questioning them, applying astrological traits (or whatever works for you) to them, and most important, we develop extensive back stories for them.
What do we know about these people from Conversation (1)? Nothing more than somebody-or-other has a nice bike and somebody-or-other else wants to drive it and you only know there's a third party in there because I told you. Everybody sounds exactly the same. In fact, they talk like the writer.
Now I'm going to tell you who the characters are: a Francophone biker chick, a Pentecostal minister's wife, and a veteran male police officer.
I'm going to change the vocabulary and the syntax. Let's see what we come up with.
It's quite obvious who is speaking in Conversation (2) and not one attributive has been used.
You might be wondering why I had the police officer appear to know the woman's husband, therefore her, yet address her as "ma'am". If I hadn't told you he was a police officer, would you have been able to surmise it through his use of ma'am?
Try it yourself by switching to a male biker, a Roman Catholic nun, and a young female Francophone police officer. How about making up a scene using a 15-year-old girl from a disadvantaged family, the girl's mother, and our veteran male police officer?
Use accents sparingly. The eye trips on misspelled words and having to deal with them throughout a whole book is tiring. To inform the reader that the speaker has an accent, first use a phrase in the speaker's language that might be easily understood by the reader, e.g., "Hein, cochon!" [Hey, pig!] (Foreign words and phrases which have not yet been accepted into English as standard are in italics. Or, since this entire passage is in italics, the foreign words, phrases, and any emphasized words are in roman.) Later, use expressions common in the speaker's language, but write them in English. If you listen to accents frequently — and I suggest you make a habit of it (check out news-talk radio stations) — you will detect a melody unique to each language and if you're at all musical, this should help you enormously. There is no need to misspell words at all, just play their tune the way they put their words together. It won't take long for the reader to accept the accent of the speaker.

«Paparazzi» — пісня, записана американською співачкою Леді Ґаґою і випущена як сингл з її дебютного студійного альбому «The Fame». Пісня, написана Робом Ф'юсері та Ґаґою, була видана як третій сингл з альбому у Росії як четвертий сингл в Канаді і США, і як п'ятий в Австралії, Великій Британії, Ірландії, Італії, Новій Зеландії і Франції. Реліз відбувся 6 липня 2009 року у Великій Британії і через чотири дні — в Австралії. Спочатку, п'ятим синглом у Великій Британії хотіли випустити «LoveGame», але через його потенційно суперечливої лірики і відвертого музичного відео, п'ятим синглом вибрали «Paparazzi». Пісня була написана Ґаґою, для того, щоб відобразити її прагнення до слави. «Paparazzi» — средньотемпова, танцювальна композиція, лірика якої показує ситуацію, коли когось нав'язливо переслідують, щоб отримати увагу і славу.

Пісня була позитивно оцінена критиками, за її веселий настрій, клубну атмосферу і була названа піснею, що найбільше запам'ятовується і є осмисленою в альбомі. Музичне відео у пісні показує Ґаґу як фатальну старлетку, що переслідується фотографами і в процесі, ледь не вбиту її бойфрендом. Відео показує як вона виживає, повертається і мстить своєму бойфренду, в процесі експериментуючи зі способами повернення своєї слави. «Paparazzi» увійшла в топ-10 чартів Австралії, Канади, Ірландії, Росії та Великій Британії, очолила чарти Німеччини та Чехії. У США пісня досягла 6-го місця в чарті «Billboard Hot 100».

Створення композиції

Коли Рон Сломовіч з «About.com» написав, що існує багато значень пісні, Ґаґа відповіла:

В інтерв'ю австралійській газеті «Daily Telegraph», Ґаґа пояснила, що пісня написана також про пошук балансу між успіхом і любов'ю. Білл Лемб з «About.com» погодився, що пісня є своєрідною даниною «симботичним, але в кінцевому підсумку повністю фальшивим і "пластиковим" відносинам між зірками, яких переслідують папарацці, які, як би там не було, існують для того, щоб документувати історію і, в кінцевому рахунку, створювати славу».

Критика

Критики дали позитивну оцінку пісні. Джилл Мензей з журналу «Billboard», під час рецензії «The Fame Ball Tour», похвалив Гагін вокал у пісні, сказавши, що: «одержима славою балада "Paparazzi" показала, наскільки майстерною вона може бути зі своїм голосовим діапазоном ». Алексіс Петрідіс з «Ґардіану» сказав, що «ви можете швидко втомитися від постійно повторюваної теми альбому, але мелодія "Paparazzi" дійсно займає місце у вашій голові і ніяк не бажає покинути її». Стефан Томас Ерлвайн з «Allmusic» назвав пісню розумною і сказав, що вона «функціонує одночасно як чудовий поп-треш і як зла пародія на нього». Бен Норман з «About.com» сказав, що пісня входить в його трійку найулюбленіших в альбомі і додав, що вона дивна. Прайя Елан з «The Times» висловив думку, що «навіть тріо пісень, які складають основу тієї теми зірковості всього альбому ("Paparazzi, "Beautiful Dirty Rich" і заголовний трек) не зливаються з зохоплючою порожнечею популярності, а радше воліють спостерігати зі сторони». Білл Лемб з «About.com» порахував, що пісня є вершиною Гаги, як артиста. У продовженні, він зазначив симбіотичні відносини між зіркою і папарацці, емоцію приховану за словами і музикою і впевнений вокал Гаги, як доводи «за» пісню.

Еван Сауд з «PopMatters» сказав, що обидва сингли, «Paparazzi» і більш ранній «Poker Face», співставні в музичному стилі з першим синглом співачки, «Just Dance», але додав, що «ні в одному з номерів немає навіть натяку на те, що Гага повторює себе, замість цього, здається, що її помилки викликані лише тим, що вона намагається зайти на ту територію, до якої, мабуть, ще не готова». Фрідом Да Лек з «The Washington Post» критично оцінив пісню і сказав, що попри те, що Гага здається серйознішою, коли повчально співає «Paparazzi», пісня все одно здається такою ж плоскою і безликою, як і прісною. Еріка Ховард з «New Times Broward-Palm Beach» назвала пісню найбільш «говорячою» на альбомі. Джон Караманіка з «The New York Times» сказав, що «Paparazzi» - це любовне послання від камери до суб'єкта, але воно занадто швидко обривається, щоб показати, що ці відносини взаємні. Будь-яке згадування того, що Гага намагається показати більш глибокий сенс повністю обривется на ліриці, збоченій хизування в простоті, яка взагалі не передає весь цинізм ситуації.

Музичне відео

Відео було знято шведським режисером, Йонасом Акерлундом, який до цього знімав відео-кліпи для таких виконавців, як The Smashing Pumpkins, Мадонна, Moby, Rammstein та U2. Дружина Йонаса, Беа Акерлунд, була найнята як стиліст Гаги. В інтерв'ю MTV, Гага говорила, що вже зняла «[..] моє відео для "Paparazzi", яке вийшло в дуже проятном для мене ключі. Відео - це такий міні-фільм». В інтерв'ю «The Canadian Press», 26 травня 2009, співачка описала своє нове відео, як «найбільш дивовижну креативну роботу, яку [вона] створювала з кимось спільно, до теперішнього моменту». Вона також пояснила приховану ідею відео та основну думку, яку вона несе в собі:

Воно несе реальний, справжній і сильний посил, що відноситься до медіа-проституції і смерті, до втрати слави, і до того як це впливає на молодих людей. Відео досліджує ті штучно роздмухувані ситуації, в яких опиняються люди, аби стати знаменитими. Якщо говорити більш точно - це порнографія і вбивство. Це найчільніші теми відео.

Очікуваної датою прем'єри було 4 червня 2009, у Великій Британії та Ірландії, в ефірі «Channel 4». Однак, 29 травня, під час гастролей по Австралії, Гага залишила повідомлення на її акаунті в твіттері: «досить красти мої чортові відео», яке пояснювалося тим, що реліз пройшов без згоди співачки.

Відеокліп являє собою восьми-хвилинний міні-фільм, головні ролі в якому виконують Гага і шведський актор Олександр Скарсгард, який грає роль її бойфренда. Сюжет включає лінію вбивства, в якій замішана фатальна старлетка, постійно переслідувана фотографами. Відео починається зі сцен в особняку, розташованому на березі моря, де Гага і її бойфренд показані лежачими на ліжку і розмовляли по-шведськи. Після вони переміщуються на відкриту терасу і починають обійматися, в той час, як схований фотограф робить їх знімки. Гага розуміє, що її бойфренд пропустив фотографа на територію маєтку і намагається зупинити його. Однак, коли вона не може вирватися з його обіймів, вона розбиває пляшку шампанського об його голову. Розсерджений бойфренд зіштовхує її з балкона, після чого Гага показана лежачою на землі в калюжі власної крові, в той час, як папараці її фотографують, а таблоїди виходять під заголовками, які повідомляють, що її кар'єра закінчена. За твердженнями журналу «Rolling Stone», дана сцена була зроблена під впливом фільмуЗапаморочення , Альфреда Хічкока.

Далі показана сцена, в якій Гага під'їжджає до будинку на лімузині. Чоловік танцюрист переносить її на руках з машини і садить у інвалідне крісло. З цього моменту починає звучати пісня. У той час, як танцюристи починають виконувати Танею навколо неї, Гага встає з крісла і пересувається за допомогою милиць по червоному килиму, одягнена в металеві бюст і шолом. Ця сцена перемежується, зі сценами, що показують мертвих моделей лежачих навколо особняка. Далі Гага показана лежачою на золотій софі, де вона обіймається з трьома рокерами, під час рядка «Loving you is cherry pie». Тріо, відоме під ім'ям «Snake of Eden», знімається в телевізійній програмі «Daisy of Love».

У наступній сцені, Гага і її бойфренд, який читає журнал, показані сидячими на канапі в чайній кімнаті. На Газі одягнений жовтий костюм і круглі окуляри. «The Guardian» зіставили вид Гаги в цій сцені з зображенням Міккі Мауса. У кінцевому рахунку, Гага мстить своєму бойфренду, отруюючи його, використовуючи отруту, яка перебувала в її кільці і яку вона непомітно насипала йому у напій. Коли він помирає, вона телефонує в 911 і говорить, що тільки що вбила свого бойфренда.
Дальше прибуває поліція і заарештовує Гагу, в той час як папарацці знову оточують її. Газетні заголовки, цього разу, стверджують про її невинність, про те, що вона повернулася і знову стала знаменитою і популярною. Відео закінчується тим, що Гага позує як модель, для поліцеских знімків, в той час, як закадровий голос говорить: «Дивися в камеру ... наступна!».

Does Sex Matter In Art and Literature?
Siri Hustvedt's latest book explores why in the realms of art and literature, women still aren't treated the same as men.
By Lauren Christensen
Myung-Bo Sim, The Rose Man, 2004, Oil on Canvas
Private Collection/Bridgeman
In her new essay collection, A Woman Looking at Men Looking at Women, Siri Hustvedt explores how women are perceived as writers and artists today. Here she explains why even outside of more traditionally male-dominated fields such as finance and technology—and even in the 21st century, when women no longer need to adopt male pseudonyms to publish great literary works—a glass ceiling sadly remains intact.
HARPER'S BAZAAR: In your book, you devote an entire essay to two words spoken to you by the Norwegian novelist Karl Ove Knausgaard, after you asked him why out of the hundreds of writers he references in his My Struggle series only one is female. His answer: "No competition." Why do you think that was his response?
SIRI HUSTVEDT: Men generally do not see women as competition. No matter how brilliant or accomplished they are, there is something emasculating for men in being pitted against a woman. It is even more true in creative fields already considered to be "squishy" and feminine, and it's a big problem because great women have been left off the record.We have a few who everyone can name: Jane Austen, George Eliot, Virginia Woolf. But many writers over the centuries simply do not have the reputations they deserve because they were female, and that is an act of suppression.
HB: How do you think male and female authors are valued differently?
SH: It is fascinating to me that when the lists of the great writers are trotted out year after year, you often find lists without a single woman mentioned. Bellow, Roth, DeLillo, writers whom I admire, but the list goes on, and there is not one woman. Every once in a while, someone like Toni Morrison—a Nobel Prize winner—gets herself onto one, but it's quite a striking imbalance.
HB: How have you as a writer person- ally experienced the inequity?
SH: While he was interviewing me about my first novel, a German journalist looked at me and said,"I think this is a great book, and I think your husband [the writer Paul Auster] wrote it." There you go.
HB: How did you react?
SH: I was very calm. The old story is true:Women have to be less emotional than men. The important thing for women in that kind of position to remember, from a practical point of view, is if you feel hurt don't show it.
HB: Do men respond differently to your work than women do?
SH: Whenever I sign books, I get this line over and over again from men: "I don't read fiction, but my wife does. Would you sign the book to her?" [Laughs.] What are those men doing there? And where are their wives?
HB: Who is to blame for the discrimination? Is it always intentional?
SH: Every one of us is prone to implicit sexual prejudices, including women. A male New York editor once admitted that he felt ashamed he couldn't remember the last book he'd read by a woman. But I myself have perceived women's actions as more aggressive than I would have in men because I too am walking around with my own biases. The way to fight them is to become conscious of them.
HB: Are there exceptions to this double standard? Is there hope?
SH: Good books, written by men or women, are ones in which you lose consciousness of the person writing the sentences.We lose ourselves in stories; that's the beauty of literary art.
Siri Hustvedt's fourth essay collection, A Woman Looking at Men Looking at Women, will be published in December.

Ethics for Television, Video and Digital Journalists
Guidelines for Digital Manipulation
A Statement of Principle on Digital Manipulation from the National Press Photographers Association:
As journalists we believe the guiding principle of our profession is accuracy; therefore it is wrong to alter the content of a photograph in any was that deceives the public.
As photojournalists, we have the responsibility to document society and to preserve its images as a matter of historical record. It is clear that the emerging electronic technologies provide new challenges to the integrity of photographic images. This technology enables the manipulation of the content of an image in such a way that the change is virtually undetectable. In light of this, we, the National Press Photographers Association, reaffirm the basis of our ethics: Accurate representation is the benchmark of our profession.
We believe photojournalistic guidelines for fair and accurate reporting should be the criteria for judging what may be done electronically to a photograph. Altering the editorial content of a photograph, in any degree, is a breach of the ethical standards recognized by the NPPA.
Drafted November 12, 1990, at the 2nd Annual Electronic Photojournalism Workshop, Tempe, AZ, and revised July 2, 1991, by the board of directors at the 46th Annual NPPA Convention, Arlington, VA.
The RTDNA Code of Ethics does not dictate what journalists should do in every ethical predicament; rather it offers resources to help journalists make better ethical decisions – on and off the job – for themselves and for the communities they serve.
Journalism is distinguished from other forms of content by these guiding principles:
— Truth and accuracy above all
o The facts should get in the way of a good story. Journalism requires more than merely reporting remarks, claims or comments. Journalism verifies, provides relevant context, tells the rest of the story and acknowledges the absence of important additional information. o For every story of significance, there are always more than two sides. While they may not all fit into every account, responsible reporting is clear about what it omits, as well as what it includes. o Scarce resources, deadline pressure and relentless competition do not excuse cutting corners factually or oversimplifying complex issues. o "Trending," "going viral" or "exploding on social media" may increase urgency, but these phenomena only heighten the need for strict standards of accuracy. o Facts change over time. Responsible reporting includes updating stories and amending archival versions to make them more accurate and to avoid misinforming those who, through search, stumble upon outdated material. o Deception in newsgathering, including surreptitious recording, conflicts with journalism's commitment to truth. Similarly, anonymity of sources deprives the audience of important, relevant information. Staging, dramatization and other alterations – even when labeled as such – can confuse or fool viewers, listeners and readers. These tactics are justified only when stories of great significance cannot be adequately told without distortion, and when any creative liberties taken are clearly explained. o Journalism challenges assumptions, rejects stereotypes and illuminates – even where it cannot eliminate – ignorance. o Ethical journalism resists false dichotomies – either/or, always/never, black/white thinking – and considers a range of alternatives between the extremes.
— Independence and transparency
o Editorial independence may be a more ambitious goal today than ever before. Media companies, even if not-for-profit, have commercial, competitive and other interests – both internal and external — from which the journalists they employ cannot be entirely shielded. Still, independence from influences that conflict with public interest remains an essential ideal of journalism. Transparency provides the public with the means to assess credibility and to determine who deserves trust.
o Acknowledging sponsor-provided content, commercial concerns or political relationships is essential, but transparency alone is not adequate. It does not entitle journalists to lower their standards of fairness or truth.
o Disclosure, while critical, does not justify the exclusion of perspectives and information that are important to the audience's understanding of issues.
o Journalism's proud tradition of holding the powerful accountable provides no exception for powerful journalists or the powerful organizations that employ them. To profit from reporting on the activities of others while operating in secrecy is hypocrisy.
o Effectively explaining editorial decisions and processes does not mean making excuses. Transparency requires reflection, reconsideration and honest openness to the possibility that an action, however well intended, was wrong.
o Ethical journalism requires owning errors, correcting them promptly and giving corrections as much prominence as the error itself had.
o Commercial endorsements are incompatible with journalism because they compromise credibility. In journalism, content is gathered, selected and produced in the best interests of viewers, listeners and readers – not in the interests of somebody who paid to have a product or position promoted and associated with a familiar face, voice or name.
o Similarly, political activity and active advocacy can undercut the real or perceived independence of those who practice journalism. Journalists do not give up the rights of citizenship, but their public exercise of those rights can call into question their impartiality.
o The acceptance of gifts or special treatment of any kind not available to the general public creates conflicts of interest and erodes independence. This does not include the access to events or areas traditionally granted to working journalists in order to facilitate their coverage. It does include "professional courtesy" admission, discounts and "freebies" provided to journalists by those who might someday be the subject of coverage. Such goods and services are often offered as enticements to report favorably on the giver or rewards for doing so; even where that is not the intent, it is the reasonable perception of a justifiably suspicious public.
o Commercial and political activities, as well as the acceptance of gifts or special treatment, cause harm even when the journalists involved are "off duty" or "on their own time."
o Attribution is essential. It adds important information that helps the audience evaluate content and it acknowledges those who contribute to coverage. Using someone else's work without attribution or permission is plagiarism.
— Accountability for consequences
o Journalism accepts responsibility, articulates its reasons and opens its processes to public scrutiny.
o Journalism provides enormous benefits to self-governing societies. In the process,it can create inconvenience, discomfort and even distress. Minimizing harm, particularly to vulnerable individuals, should be a consideration in every editorial and ethical decision.
o Responsible reporting means considering the consequences of both the newsgathering – even if the information is never made public – and of the material's potential dissemination. Certain stakeholders deserve special consideration; these include children, victims, vulnerable adults and others inexperienced with American media.
o Preserving privacy and protecting the right to a fair trial are not the primary mission of journalism; still, these critical concerns deserve consideration and to be balanced against the importance or urgency of reporting.
o The right to broadcast, publish or otherwise share information does not mean it is always right to do so. However, journalism's obligation is to pursue truth and report, not withhold it. Shying away from difficult cases is not necessarily more ethical than taking on the challenge of reporting them. Leaving tough or sensitive stories to non-journalists can be a disservice to the public.
A growing collection of coverage guidelines for use on a range of ethical issues is available here.

Welcome to the "summer of hell!" As Amtrak has become less reliable with delays, poor service and Penn Station resembling one of the deepest circles of eternal torment, air is becoming the better option for travel between New York, Washington, D.C. and Boston. With oil prices helping keep airfare relatively low, flying becomes even more practical of a choice.
Even if Amtrak service wasn't so poor, the price of airfare has fallen below the cost of northeast corridor rail service in many cases. At the "saver" level, Amtrak's standard Northeast Corridor tickets are $49 each way between New York and either Boston or D.C., but saver fares can be hard to come by unless you're booking far in advance. "Value" fares are $78 each way. If you want to take the Acela to save some time over the regular train, there are no saver fares and tickets start at $117 for each way. Meanwhile, roundtrip airfare can be found in the low $100s, depending on when you're flying. With Delta and American Airlines operating regular shuttle service between the cities, and United offering a full schedule of flights, flying often becomes a better option.
That was how my fiancée Reni and I found ourselves taking the American shuttle to Boston on Memorial Day weekend. I've reviewed the Delta shuttle, which operates from New York's La Guardia to Boston, D.C., and Chicago, and United's EWR-BOS flight, but this was the first time I've tried American for the hourly short hop. So how does it compare to the competition?
When we booked the trip, we found some intense price variation — fares ranged from $120-$350 between the three legacy airlines and JetBlue, depending on whether we left Friday or Saturday and what time we flew. We decided on an 8 a.m. Saturday departure on American's LGA-BOS shuttle. The early weekend wakeup was rough, but had a perk: the ride to the airport was a piece of cake with no sign of the perpetual La Guardia traffic disaster. Since La Guardia is a pain to get to by mass transit, especially from Brooklyn, we took a Lyft — earning some extra Delta miles in the process.
Security was easy thanks to PreCheck. American's shuttle leaves from Terminal C, which is shared with Delta. While the Delta shuttle to Chicago and D.C. leaves from the Marine Air Terminal, the Boston shuttle is grouped with regular Delta flights.
Reni is an authorized user on a Citi AAdvantage Executive card, which meant that we had access to the Admirals Club lounge. At 6:30 on a Saturday morning, it was virtually empty. There was a nice assortment of breakfast foods including Chobani yogurt, assorted bagels, english muffins and loaves, hard boiled eggs, oatmeal and cereal.
More importantly: there was coffee. And not just any coffee: La Colombe coffee.
Plenty of comfortable seats, and because the windows face east-ish there was a ton of sunlight in the morning. The wifi was fast, and service was great.
After a pleasant breakfast, we left for the gate a few minutes before boarding; knowing how overzealous American can be with "D0" on-time performance, we didn't want to risk being late. American recently changed their boarding process, and as a Citi AAdvantage Platinum card holder we had "priority boarding." That meant that we were in group five, just behind the first class and elite passengers. In practice, this was more like being in the second group to board, since groups 1-4 all boarded at the same time and were fairly small.
The plane, an Embraer E190, was fine. Not much to write home about, but it's a 45 minute flight so what do you really need? There was no seat-back In-Flight Entertainment (IFE), which is the growing trend on American Airlines planes, as well as many other airlines. Delta flights I've taken between New York and Boston have had IFE, while United has been hit-or-miss. The cabin was relatively sparse, with outdated-feeling blue seat covers with adjustable headrests and large tray tables. Soon enough, we were in the air.
American recently announced that they were cutting in-flight service on their flights shorter than 250 miles. This includes JFK-BOS flights, but LGA-BOS flights on the designated shuttle service were exempted from the cuts. I suspect there's so much competition for business travelers that American felt they'd lose an edge in the shuttle offering.
While I definitely appreciate the complimentary drink service and like that they kept it, I have to admit it's a little silly. The flight is so short that by the time the flight attendants come through the cabin and finish giving out drinks, they have to turn right around to collect the cups before landing. You basically end up chugging your drink. It's not like you get to relax and enjoy it. It's worth noting that beer and wine is included, even in economy.
After a smooth and easy flight, we were on the ground in Boston. One really nice feature of the American Airlines shuttle that the competition doesn't have: passengers exit from both the front and the rear door of the plane. That speeds things up, and while it may only save a few minutes, that actually makes a difference when the flight is so short.
Our flight back was scheduled for 7 p.m. on Memorial Day. Before we left for the airport, we got notifications that the flight was delayed until 7:50 because of poor weather. We went to the airport on time anyway — just to be safe — knowing we'd likely have to sit around for a while. We also figured it was worth trying to get on an earlier flight.
When Delta has announced flight delays, I've been able to switch flights for free — it seems that space is allocated on a first-come, first-serve basis. For instance, on that trip to Chicago we were able to snag the last two seats on the earlier flight from right within the app while we were in the cab to La Guardia. On this flight, American didn't give us the opportunity to change flights. Maybe the alternatives were already full, but we couldn't even find the option to search. When we got to the airport we asked about walking onto an earlier flight, but the standby list was extensive and full of elite passengers. We ended up just settling in to the Admirals Club again and waiting out the delay, which was pushed back to 8:30.
The Admirals Club at Boston Logan's Terminal B was also on the nicer side. It had standard domestic lounge food including hummus with vegetables, cheese, cookies, crackers and a few kinds of soups. The complimentary alcohol selection was weak, with a couple of subpar wines, well liquors, and just Bud Light. Higher-quality drinks were available, although they cost extra. That's roughly on par with most domestic lounges, although I prefer the house wine in Delta SkyClubs, and their complimentary liquors and beers are higher quality — you still have to pay for "premium" drinks.
The Admirals Club had an unexpected surprise: a complimentary guacamole station! An attendant at the station would mix any toppings or seasonings you wanted into guacamole, which was served with chips and salsa. The "base" guacamole was clearly pre-made and packaged, but it was still tasty enough. Especially once you chose toppings.
We left for the gate shortly before boarding, and enjoyed another easy boarding process. Because virtually nothing on American's fleet is standardized, the plane had a different refreshed interior despite being another E190.
It was a bit nicer, though still no IFE. Again, this was perfectly fine considering how short the flight was, though it would be disappointing on a longer one. Despite the rainy weather, the flight was smooth and easy — no bumps, no spilt drinks (quickly gulped down before landing). There was no back-door exit at LGA, but it really wasn't a big deal. We took a Lyft home. Our car had a little trouble getting to the passenger pickup area due to traffic, but everything was clear after that.
When it comes down to it, on 45-minute flight there's not much in terms of in-flight service that could make a difference. I would give the edge to Delta because of the incredible flexibility when a flight is delayed. On a shuttle with service once an hour, that can be extremely useful. It's disappointing that Delta's Boston flights from LGA no longer fly out of the Marine Air Terminal with the Chicago and D.C. shuttle service, but Terminal C is fine — especially if you have access to a Delta SkyClub through a credit card or frequent flier status.
That said, American is also a solid option, providing a pleasant and comfortable flight. I know the airline has been taking a lot of flack because of its mismatched fleet, devalued frequent flyer program and other complaints, but I found nothing bad to report about the shuttle. IFE is a nice perk, but it's such a short flight that it really doesn't matter. Obviously, having lounge access was a big help.
I rank United third, though it doesn't count as a real shuttle service. The last time I flew EWR-BOS it was an aggravating experience, so I would definitely opt for Delta or American over United. I also want to give JetBlue a try, although I have less use for the airline's TrueBlue points than SkyMiles, AAdvantage Miles, or MilagePlus miles.
Have you flown on a shuttle service out of New York recently? How did your experience line up with mine? Let me know in the comments!

Stocks: The record bull market is 10 years old. Is it about to flame out or surge higher?
Paul Davidson | USA TODAY | 12:14 pm EDT March 10, 2019
Adam Shell explains a bull market on the occasion of the current bull market breaking the record for longest ever.
As the longest bull market in U.S. history celebrates its 10th anniversary Saturday, Wall Street pros are debating whether the old-timer is on its last legs or mustering a second wind.
The question is pivotal for the 401(k) plans and other investments of millions of Americans who have built robust nest eggs on the back of the market's impressive rise.
"Bull markets don't die of old age," says Jason Ware, chief investment officer at Albion Financial Group. "I see no reason the bull market should abruptly end as long as the economy stays out of recession" and the Federal Reserve doesn't excessively raise interest rates.
Others are more skeptical. "It's a late-stage market with one last rally in it," says Jared Woodard, global investment strategist for Bank of America Merrill Lynch. He expects the stock market to reach new highs this year before petering out by 2020 on lower corporate earnings or higher inflation and interest rates.
A bull market is generally defined as a sustained rise in stock prices without a 20 percent drop from its peak – or bear market – based on closing prices. Since the Standard & Poor's 500 stock index bottomed out at 676.53 on March 9, 2009, in the thick of the Great Recession and financial crisis, it has more than quadrupled.
If you were daring enough to invest $100,000 in a broad stock index fund on that dark day 10 years ago, your investment would be worth $406,327 today. The market has averaged 17.6 percent annualized returns year during that period, compared with a historical average of about 10 percent, according to S&P Dow Jones Indices.. This bull topped the 1990s rally as the longest last August.
After months-long, stomach-churning turbulence, the bull nearly met its demise Christmas Eve when the S&P 500 was down 19.8 percent from its late-September record of 2,930.75. Investors were spooked by the Fed's plan to raise interest rates twice more this year (after nine hikes since late 2015), President Donald Trump's trade war with China, a slowing global economy and the fading effects of federal tax cuts and spending increases.
As 2019 unfolds, one question is likely on most investors' minds: Is the bull market that began in March 2009 dead, or can it find its footing on less stable ground?

But after coming within a whisker of a bear market, stocks have mounted a rousing comeback since Fed Chairman Jerome Powell and other central bank officials reversed course and suggested they may not lift rates at all this year if inflation remains subdued. The broad market index is up 17 percent from its recent low but still 6.3 percent off its peak.
Over the past decade, the bull market has also weathered European debt crises, a downgrade of the U.S. credit rating, an oil price crash, devastating hurricanes and threats of nuclear war.

Why has bull lasted so long?
Stocks tumbled so low – on March 9, 2009, the S&P 500 was 57 percent off its prior peak – they had nowhere to go but way, way up.
"There was a lot of catching up to do," says Yung-Yu Ma, chief investment strategist of BMO Wealth Management. The benchmark stock index, in fact, didn't even claw its way back to its previous high until 2013.
The market also has benefited from a "not too hot, not too cold economy," Ware says. Economic growth averaging a modest 2.2 percent a year has helped contain inflation, allowing the Fed to keep short-term rates low and buy bonds that slashed long-term rates on mortgages and other loans. Low rates coax investors to move their money to higher-yielding stocks and spur more borrowing and economic activity.
Tame inflation also means businesses pay less for labor and materials, widening their profit margins.
At the same time, the market run-up has been devoid of the kind of risk-taking that led to the 2000 dotcom bubble and the 2007 housing crash, both of which were followed by market downturns and recessions, Ware says.
Another boost: Businesses were cautious after the bruising recession of 2007-09, limiting hiring, employee raises and capital investment. That helped fatten their annual earnings gains to an average 12 percent the past decade, above the 5.5 percent historical average, Ware says.
Instead, public companies have spent billions of dollars buying back their own stock, a strategy that pushed share prices even higher. S&P 500 companies have made a record $600 billion in buybacks the past five years, Woodard says.
Will the good times continue? Here's why some analysts think this bull has further to run.
Economy is still on even keel
While growth picked up to nearly 3 percent in 2018 on the federal stimulus, it's expected to slow this year. More importantly, inflation remains below the Fed's annual 2 percent target, letting the central bank keep interest rates low.
The economy should also continue to dodge the "boom and bust moments" that are a recipe for bear markets and recessions, Ware says.
Fed to the rescue
The Fed breathed new life into a sputtering market when it made its big about-face and said it will be "patient" on rate hikes this year. The central bank also said it expects to stop shrinking its $4 trillion portfolio of bonds earlier than anticipated this year, a move that should keep long-term rates lower.
"We were very bearish with the Fed (planning to raise rates)," Woodard says. "We turned tactically bullish" after the Fed's turnabout, at least for 2019.
Market drop bought the bull more time
The plunge in stocks last fall was nerve-wracking, but it likely extended the bull's lifespan by rinsing the market of investors bent on making a quick buck and leaving more long-term shareholders focused on company fundamentals.
"It wrings out the excesses," Ware says.
Stocks still reasonably priced
Despite the market run-up, the average S&P 500 stock is priced at 16 times projected earnings over the next 12 months, down from a multiple of 18 in late 2017 and slightly below the five-year average, according to FactSet.
"The stock market is cheap," Ware says, especially with low interest rates making shares of companies more appealing.
But wait. Here's why some analysts think a bear market lurks by next year:
Wages could squeeze profits, goose inflation
Average annual pay increases have picked up to more than 3 percent as employers bid up to attract fewer available workers amid 4 percent unemployment. That's good for workers, but it will likely mean narrower corporate profits that crimp stock gains or contribute to losses if raises accelerate further, as expected, Woodard says.
S&P 500 earnings gains are expected to slow to 4.5 percent this year, according to FactSet. Morgan Stanley expects earnings to contract.
Alternatively, Woodard says, companies could pass along their higher labor costs to consumers through higher prices, juicing inflation and forcing the Fed to raise rates more aggressively. That, too, could be a bull-market killer.
Fading effects of tax cut
The big corporate tax cut accounted for about a third of the 20 percent-plus growth in corporate profits the first three quarters of last year, Ware says. But since the lower tax rate is now part of baseline earnings, it won't goose profits this year.
Recession odds are rising
More than half the economists surveyed by The Wall Street Journal in early January predicted a recession will start in 2020. A downturn is almost always accompanied by a bear market. The market rally has soothed nerves, but many economists still foresee a slump next year.
Trade fight lingers
Trump administration officials are reportedly close to a deal with China to roll back most tariffs on both sides. But Ma of BMO Wealth Management says a deal is already priced into stocks. Meanwhile, any agreement is likely to include provisions that would reinstate tariffs if China doesn't meet certain conditions, Ma says. That, he says, would leave a cloud of uncertainty over the market.
Corporate debt bubble?
There's a record $4.3 trillion in lower-quality corporate loans and high-yield bonds that could see rising defaults if the economy goes south. Even higher-quality debt could default if the economy wobbles, Woodard says, curtailing lending and deepening any market pain.
Bottom line?
While a bear market is possible the next two years, Ma thinks the more likely scenario is a slowdown in market returns to about 7 percent a year that keeps the bull trudging forward.
Ware continues to recommend a balanced mix of stocks and bonds for middle-age investors, and a portfolio skewed toward stocks for younger folks and bonds for seniors.
"The best way to manage the inevitable ups and downs of the stock market … is to stop short of predicting when the bumps will come," he says.
It's become harder and harder to be a bear as stocks reach new highs and traditional bull market signals get tripped, said TheStreet's Jim Cramer.
