Off the Grid: Sally breaks down USA TODAY's daily crossword, Get Moving! (Freestyle)

There are spoilers ahead. You might want to solve today's puzzle before reading further! Get Moving! (Freestyle)

Constructor: Claire Rimkus

Editor: Amanda Rafkin

What I Learned from Today’s Puzzle

• TREAT (43A: Little ___ culture (form of self-care that involves rewards)) Although the term "little TREAT culture" is new to me, the practice isn't. I'm a firm believer in treating myself! Little TREAT culture is exactly what it sounds like, indulging in a small TREAT (maybe a coffee drink, a walk to a park, or solving a crossword) as a reward (perhaps for running errands, completing a work assignment, or paying bills). The term "little TREAT culture" emerged on TikTok, where there are many videos encouraging folks to TREAT themselves. If used correctly, little TREATs can provide a mental boost and play a role in self-care; it's science .

Random Thoughts & Interesting Things

• MALE (15A: Like bright-red cardinals) As is the case with several bird species, MALE and female cardinals have different coloring. MALE cardinals are bright red, while female cardinals are a light brown with a reddish tint on the wings, crest, and tail feathers. Young cardinals have a coloring similar to female cardinals, regardless of their sex. A MALE cardinal only acquires the characteristic red coloring after it molts and grows adult feathers.
• GYMNASTICS (18A: Simone Biles' sport) During the Summer Olympics in Paris that are happening now, there has been a lot of news about Simone Biles doing GYMNASTICS. Simone Biles will be coming home from Paris with three gold medals and one silver medal. That brings her total number of Olympic medals to 11. Simone Biles has also won 30 World Championship medals. She is the most decorated athlete in the history of GYMNASTICS.
• WAGS (22A: Swishes back and forth, like a tail) My cat, Willow, has an extremely fluffy tail, and when she WAGS it, she doesn't always pay attention to where it's going. She's been known to sweep things off the table with her tail, and occasionally I've gotten a face full of tail.
• TIP (26A: "Ugh, it's right on the ___ of my tongue!") The older I get, the more words seem to get stuck right on the TIP of my tongue!
• OSLO (34A: Norway's capital) In addition to being its capital, OSLO is the most populous city in Norway. OSLO is located at the northernmost end of Oslofjord, one of the many fjords that make up Norway's coast.
• SOY (40A: Tamari ingredient) Tamari is a Japanese sauce made from fermented soybeans. It is similar to SOY sauce, but slightly thicker (and gluten-free)
• CBS (52A: "The Equalizer" TV network) The Equalizer  is a crime drama TV series that premiered on CBS in 2021. The show is a reboot of a series of the same name that aired on CBS from 1985-1989). In the reboot, Queen Latifah stars as the title character, a former CIA operative acting as a vigilante to help those with the odds stacked against them to obtain justice. The fifth season of The Equalizer is scheduled to air later this year.
• ARTS (56A: The "A" in STEAM) In education, the acronym STEAM stands for science, technology, engineering, ARTS, and mathematics. STEAM programs incorporate skills associated with the ARTS – such as design and creative thinking – into the teaching of STEM skills.
• WASP (58A: Ant-Man's partner) Ant-Man and WASP are Marvel Comics characters. In the Marvel movies Ant-Man and the WASP (2018), and Ant-Man and the WASP: Quantumania (2023), the characters are played by Paul Rudd and Evangeline Lilly respectively. Ant-Man and WASP both have suits that allow them to shrink or grow in scale while increasing in strength.
• TODAY (68A: Day before tomorrow) I thoroughly enjoyed this clue! I had to think about it a moment, and then, "Aha!"
• SVEN (70A: Reindeer in "Frozen") In the Disney animated movies Frozen (2013) and Frozen II (2019), SVEN is Kristoff's reindeer companion. (Kristoff is an iceman living in the mountains.) During the making of Frozen , Disney brought a live reindeer into the studio so animators could study its movements. They learned that reindeer scratch their heads with their hind legs, similar to dogs. Although SVEN is not a talking animal, Kristoff sometimes "talks" for him, voicing what SVEN might be thinking. Jonathan Groff who voices Kristoff, also provides SVEN's voice for those moments.
• GINA (3D: "Suits" actress Torres) GINA Torres played the role of Jessica Lourdes Pearson in the legal drama,  Suits (2011-2019). She reprised the role in the spin-off TV series,  Pearson , that aired in 2019 for one season. Currently, GINA Torres is playing the role of Emergency Medical Services Captain Tommy Vega on the TV series,  9-1-1: Lone Star.  
• ALMA (7D: "___ and How She Got Her Name" (children's book)) ALMA and How She Got Her Name is a picture book by Juana Martinez Neal. It is about a young girl named ALMA Sofia Esperanza José Pura Candela. She thinks she has too many names, until her father tells her the story of each of her names. Fun fact: We have previously seen this book title used to clue the words GOT , HER , and NAME .
• ASIA (19A: Angkor Wat's continent) Angkor Wat, located in Cambodia, is a complex that was originally constructed as a Hindu temple for the Khmer Empire in the early 12th century. It was gradually transformed into a Buddhist temple towards the end of the century. Angkor Wat is spread across 400 acres, and  the  Guinness World Records  considers it the world's largest religious structure . Although it is no longer used as a temple, Angkor Wat attracts numerous visitors, and is still considered by many to be a spiritual place. This is the first appearance of our crossword-friend ASIA this month.
• PIE (27D: Dessert eaten on Pi Day) I'm always happy to see mentions of Pi Day and PIE in the grid.
• SLEEP STUDY (31D: Procedure that can diagnose apnea) SLEEP apnea is a condition where a person's breathing temporarily stops more often than normal (defined as more than five times per hour) while they are sleeping. As you might imagine, SLEEP apnea disrupts normal SLEEP. A SLEEP STUDY, which records bodily activity during SLEEP can diagnose SLEEP apnea, as well as other conditions such as SLEEP-related movement disorders, seizure disorders, or grinding of the teeth.
• IAGO (37D: "Aladdin" parrot) In the Disney animated movie Aladdin (1992), IAGO is a talking parrot voiced by Gilbert Gottfried. IAGO is the sidekick of Jafar, the movie's villain. In the sequels and TV series in the Aladdin franchise, IAGO is reformed into a better character. IAGO is named for the Shakespeare villain in Othello .
• SNAP (57D: Provide validation at a slam poetry event) As I've mentioned previously, a  SNAP is used as a way to show appreciation at poetry slams, as SNAPs are less likely to distract the performer.

Crossword Puzzle Theme Synopsis

GET MOVING! (Freestyle): The word freestyle in the puzzle lets us know there's no theme today. The title could be a nod to MUSICAL CHAIRS (29A: Game where you sit when the tunes shut off). It could also be a nod to GYMNASTICS, as that is a sport that certainly requires one to GET MOVING!

Since I learned the term "little TREAT culture" today, it's appropriate that this puzzle was a TREAT to solve. In addition to the answers I've already highlighted, I enjoyed the ADDITIONAL answers PLAYING IT COOL, SOUNDS GOOD, THINGS TO DO, and YOGA POSE. Thank you, Claire, for this delightful puzzle.

‘It’s surreal’: Cal State Fullerton student journalists cover the Paris Olympics

• Copy Link URL Copied!

For more than two dozen Cal State Fullerton students, the Paris Olympics has been an assignment of a lifetime.

With datelines from Paris, a cohort of 26 communications students have produced print, video and social media coverage of the Olympic Games and its host city.

The experience has been everything that Gayle Jansen Brisbane, a CSUF communications professor, envisioned when she wanted to craft a study abroad program around the summer Olympics.

“Something like this hadn’t been done before,” she said in a Zoom call from Paris surrounded by students. “It took all of my skill sets to put this together.”

Newport Beach duo helps U.S. women’s water polo advance to Olympic semifinals

Team USA edged Hungary 5-4 on Tuesday in Paris, advancing to Thursday’s semifinals in its quest for its fourth straight gold medal.

Aug. 6, 2024

Jansen Brisbane worked in sports broadcasting for 20 years and has taught communications at CSUF for the past five years.

She even brought her early work experience as a travel agent into making the three-week program covering the biggest sporting event in the world a reality.

“Some students in our group have never left the country,” she said. “Being able to introduce them to an international experience, let alone the Olympics, has been super fulfilling for me.”

Once in Paris, Jansen Brisbane and Bob Young, a faculty associate from Arizona State University, held a meeting with students over how to plan their opening ceremony coverage .

“We spread out across the city and covered the different fan zones that were available for locals and other people who didn’t have tickets to the actual opening ceremony to watch it,” said Connor Alicaya, a fourth-year communications student.

Another group had the task of getting as close as possible to the Eifel Tower, past language barriers and physical barricades.

“It came down to will and determination,” said Jose Flores, who is graduating from CSUF this summer and is already working as a television news producer in Fresno. “We ended up a few feet from the Seine River with a beautiful view of the Eiffel Tower and we were able to do our coverage from there.”

Jansen Brisbane created a university website to host the cohort’s Olympic blog coverage.

Student stories have ranged from athlete profiles to how Parisians have mixed feelings about the games.

The dispatches count towards the completion of sports broadcast journalism and sports reporting classes.

Students are also pitching freelance stories to professional media.

Lina Naranjo, a senior communications major, published a profile on local U.S boxer Jajaira Gonzalez’s journey past anxiety to Olympic competition for the Orange County Register.

Francisco Molina, a senior communications major graduating this summer, landed a job with the Sporting Tribune thanks to the opportunities afforded by the study abroad program. He’s filed print and video reports for the outlet while handling its social media account at various events, including a U.S. men’s basketball game.

“Getting the behind the scenes footage that people don’t really get to see on NBC is the goal,” Molina said. “When we’re going out to these places, one of the things that our advisers have talked about is to think about things that people are always wondering in their mind that they’ll never see on TV.”

Marissa Lavezzari, an assistant director of athletic communications graduating this summer, also had the opportunity to publish a story close to home for the Sporting Tribune.

She interviewed Darren Spiritosanto, a CSUF aquatics facility manager, who is officiating Olympic water polo games. Jenn McCall, a Huntington Beach local, joined him as the first woman from the U.S. to serve as a referee for the sport.

Lavezzari got to see the duo in action at the Paris Games.

“I went to water polo with Robbie Loya from our group and we actually got to see Spiritosanto in his officiating gear,” she said. “Experiencing that achievement with him was great because we got to see our very own Cal State Fullerton representative there. That was a highlight for me.”

2024 Paris Olympics

Behind the lens: A photojournalist’s take on the 2024 Paris Olympics

L.A. Times photojournalist Wally Skalij captures scenes, inside looks and perspectives that make the 2024 Summer Olympics in Paris the spectacle it is.

The opening ceremony proved to be the longest day for the cohort, so far. Jansen Brisbane stayed up past 4 a.m. editing stories from the event.

Students are routinely clocking in 10-hour shifts and staying up until 3 a.m. before calling it a wrap on most days.

“Our professors make sure that we don’t burn out and take the rest that we need,” Molina said. “Obviously, we want to produce as much content we can but also want take care of ourselves, as well.”

The final sporting assignment for the cohort comes on Aug. 10, when the U.S. women’s soccer team vies for a gold medal at Parc des Princes stadium.

As the Paris Games wrap up, student journalists are turning their reporting attention to Los Angeles as the host city for the 2028 Olympics. So, too, is Jansen Brisbane.

“I’m hoping that this can be a program that Cal State Fullerton does regularly,” she said. “We won’t have to travel far in 2028.”

Do you have glossophobia?

That’s a fear of public speaking, a phobia believed to affect up to 75% of the population.

The physical symptoms range from slight nervousness and brain freeze to trembling, sweating, rapid heartbeat, and full-on panic.

For most people, fear of public speaking is not a hindrance because their work doesn’t require speeches or presentations. But if your profession places value on speaking skills, you’d be smart to be strategic about developing your capacity.

The ability to persuade an audience is an important trademark of a leader. My early career experience as a speechwriter and communication coach (for cabinet officers in two White House administrations as well as for C-suite executives in many corporations) provided some key take-aways.

• Effective public speaking is definitely a skill you can learn.
• Talk about things you know well and want to share with others.
• Manage your discomfort by thoroughly preparing, practicing, and visualizing.
• Even if you plan to speak from abbreviated notes, write out and refine your entire presentation. This will help you develop your content and build your confidence.
• Sharpen your delivery with repeated, focused practice.

Let’s zero in on those last two points.

The act of writing your “script” will help you explore your material and select precise wording. Focus on vocabulary you’re comfortable using. Choose words that have impact. Use short sentences. Provide evidence to support your key points. In your closing, repeat the points you want your audience to remember. Edit your draft carefully. Remove redundancies and cut out material that clutters rather than illuminates.

Does that sound like work? It is! And if you do it right, your investment of time and effort will pay big dividends.

Think about it: musicians, athletes and other professional invest much more time training than in performing. So why would you expect to successfully prepare and deliver a speech without paying the price?

Years ago, I was coaching a business executive who was scheduled to speak at his company’s annual shareholders meeting. He was nervous about the assignment and displayed all the symptoms of glossophobia. I was videotaping his practice session.

Before he started his speech, I asked the man about his new cell phone he’d put on the table beside the podium. He launched into an animated description of all the phone’s features, how it saved him time, enabled him to stay in touch with his staff, and even take photos of his grandchildren. His spirited narrative about his new phone was worthy of a prime-time TV commercial.

Then he transitioned into his speech for the shareholders meeting.

What the man didn’t realize was that the videotape was running the entire time. When I played the whole thing back for him, he was astonished. It was as though two completely different people had been in front of the camera. He was comfortable and animated when carrying on about his new phone. But when he started his speech, it was as though someone had flipped an invisible switch. Suddenly he was stiff and awkward. His script was crammed with “corporatespeak”—tired phrases often found in legal documents rather than in natural conversation. No wonder the man was uncomfortable. He was trying to give a speech that didn’t remotely sound the way he would normally talk.

When the man re-worked his script to sound like real talk, his practice sessions were much more comfortable and his appearance at the shareholders meeting was a success.

Consider these tips when preparing your next talk.

1. Plan. Determine the best approach to your topic. Plan to address this topic in a way that will benefit your entire audience. (Remember that your listeners may have widely different backgrounds in terms of education, age, experience, etc.)

2. Organize: List the points you want to cover. Then sift and re-arrange these into no more than three or four main ideas, putting all the rest under these as sub-ideas. Effective introductory material usually (a) establishes a bond of common interest with your listeners, (b) identifies your topic and purpose and their importance to the audience, and (c) mentions the main points to be discussed in the talk. The effective conclusion is usually a brief summary of what you’ve said, with a final statement of the basic message you want your listeners to retain … or the belief you want them to have … or the action you want them to take.

3. Develop: Make notes. Gather material. Then select the necessary “evidence”— research, quotations, comparisons, anecdotes, etc.—to support and develop your points throughout the talk.

4. Practice: Condense your material to a simple outline. Practice delivering your talk aloud . Keep your delivery conversational and natural. (Typically, you’re talking to friends.) Time yourself. If you’ve been asked to talk for 15 minutes and your outline requires 17, trim it by at least three or four minutes. Then practice some more. The more you practice (a little bit every day over a period of several days), the more comfortable you’ll be.

Speech time is precious time. People attend a meeting to be instructed or even inspired. Ponder this: If you address an audience of, say, 150 people for 15 minutes, you’ve used a total of 37.5 hours! (15 minutes x 150 = 2,250 minutes or 37.5 hours)

You can do this! Invest the effort in honing your speaking skills and you’ll significantly enhance your value in the marketplace of ideas.
