At the American Dialect Society’s 2015 Word of the Year proceedings, held at the society’s annual meeting on January 8, 2016, in Washington, D.C., more than 300 attendees filled the Marriott Marquis conference room and engaged in a spirited discussion of the nominees. We will consider the nominated items in two installments, with this first one covering the alphabetic range from "adult" to "mom."
Connecting Generosity With Need
During the 2008 and 2012 electoral cycles, the music preferences of presidential candidates became the subject of endless commentary, critique, and consternation. While “a little musical priming, ” to use Irving Berlin’s words, has been par for the course at least since the 1840s, candidates have increasingly relied on thoughtfully curated playlists of pre-existing songs in various campaign contexts, both live and online. Campaign playlists in their many manifestations function as a form of social currency for those who create, listen to, and share music in the twenty-first century. This article investigates the functions of the list in music and music-related discourses, as well as the cultural work lists can perform during campaign season. After providing a handful of examples from early twenty-first-century campaigns to illustrate these functions, I turn to Mitt Romney’s and Barack Obama’s use of playlists in 2012, focusing on Spotify and the public’s reception to their respective engagements with music-sharing communities. To conclude, I consider the ways in which the campaign playlist serves as a tool for political communication, mobilization, and participation, and ponder its changing function in the 2.0 world.
The American Dialect Society’s annual Word of the Year proceedings took place on January 6, 2017, at the society’s meeting in Austin, Texas, with more than 300 participants gathering in a ballroom at the JW Marriott to decide the winners in various categories, as well as the overall WOTY for 2016. As we have done in past years, we have broken down the nominees into two installments, beginning in this issue with the alphabetic range covering "alt-right" to "nasty woman."
This installment of “Among the New Words” continues the consideration of words nominated in the 2013 Word of the Year proceedings at the annual meeting in Minneapolis on January 2–4, 2014.

From the earliest elections with popular participation to the present day, American presi- dential candidates have harnessed music’s connotative potential and affective properties in a variety of campaign contexts. But in a corporatized electoral landscape where the fields of politics and popular culture are inextricably intertwined, and every aspect of the candi- date’s public and private life is subjected to intense scrutiny enabled by the emergence of Web 2.0 technologies, nontraditional texts (such as music) play an increasingly significant role in candidate identity formation. Adding to recent work that explores the aesthetic and social dimensions of newly composed campaign music and its cultural currency, this essay turns a critical lens toward preexisting music and its impact on campaign discourses dur- ing Barack Obama’s 2008 presidential primary campaign. I investigate three components of Obama’s soundscape: 1) his engagement with hip hop—its artists, audiences, and values; 2) the intersections between his professed musical tastes and his complex biography; and 3) the playlists he used at campaign rallies, and the factors that allowed this soundtrack to solidify his own identity as candidate as well as forge alliances with women voters and black voters. Ultimately, cultural and musical analyses reveal how Obama’s music strategy allowed him to project a black identity that was both “real” and “respectable.”THE VOICE OF FREEMASONRY IN NORTHWEST OHIO SINCE 1916 (USPS 632-860) Vol. 107 No. 3 November 2022 October is often referred to as “Grand Month, ” because the York Rite Grand bodies as well as the Grand Lodge of Ohio hold their annual sessions at that time. Due to the late date of Ohio’s Grand Lodge this year details were not availaWhether its participating in the Oak Harbor Apple Festival, hosting an annual communityinvited chicken Bar B Que or supporting the Oak Harbor High School with a “Football Team Feed, ” Oak Harbor Lodge #495 always does an excellent job of being active in the community. Everyone in town knows not only that the Freemasons exist, but that they are a vital part of the Oak Harbor community.

Nevertheless as long as we receive photos and details in time, we will feature their results in next month’s issue. The York Rite sessions went well this year, and there were no major legislative actions that resulted in drastic changes for any of the bodies. Of course they all held their elections of officers and the new leaders were installed. The new Grand High Priest, Ronald Hart is from Cincinnati, where he lives with his wife Deborah. He is a member of E.T. Carson Lodge #598. The new Grand Illustrious Master, Michael Terry and his wife Samantha live in the Urbana area, and he is a member of Harmony Lodge #8. Finally, the new Eminent Grand Commander, Sir Knight Dale Olson is from the St Clairsville area, where he lives with his lady Diana. He is a member of J.B. Covert Lodge #437. We wish all the new officers the very best, and look forward to a great year.

The Oak Harbor Football Team Feed is pictured above, which brought students and their families to the Oak Harbor Lodge Building. Sadly not many lodges can boast that standing in their communities today. Perhaps all lodges should consider following the example set by Lodge #495.
