Urban planning students around the world study Portland for its mix of density, public transportation, green buildings and more. Several years ago, Jeff Hardison was excited to learn that leaders from Kentucky once visited Portland to learn how to apply Portland's urban planning principles to cities in Jeff's home state. Being the backward person he is, Jeff has often pondered: If the tables were turned, what could Portland learn from Kentucky? Jeff's talk, Five Things Portland Can Learn From Kentucky in Five Minutes, will unveil Jeff's key findings (if he can manage to count that high). You can bet that at least Jeff will think he's funny. After all, he can just say "Kentucky" and people laugh.

When I was a young teaching assistant struggling to wrangle a roomful of Composition 101 college freshmen, another TA confided a precious secret: "Students love that Greek shit." What he meant was that having theories about writing, rhetoric, or anything else that contained the wisdom of ancient Greece would give me automatic gravitas, and students would right it down and remember it. I've since learned to apply the "Greek shit" theory to the business world and to weave in simple theories, borrowed wholesale and with sketchy attribution, from science, philosophy, sociology, beekeeping, etc to make presentations more memorable. Now these secrets can be yours! In 5 minutes you'll have all-encompassing theories that are compelling and unassailable in any setting: dinner with the in-laws, snooty cocktail parties, and yes, business presentations.

The argument that our fractured and politicized media harms our democracy is wrong.
Newspapers are failing and hyper-partisan media sources are on the rise. But as much as Fox News, to name one example, distorts facts and turns misinformation into theater, it's playing a positive roll in the reinvention of American media. There are five reasons — ranging from how the partisan media has created a market for objectivity, to the benefits of politics as entertainment — why Fox News is a good thing.
Saying "Fox is good" is a heretical argument in Portland. But in five minutes, I'm going to explain why the rise of Fox and its friends was historically destined, and why that cable network is turning you into a better citizen.
