This week's word in the news: COUNTERVAILING
DEFINITION: Acting against with equal force. Exerting force against an opposing and often bad or harmful force or influence.	FOUND IN THE NEWS: The announcement came after the Government Accountability Board faced countervailing pressures from those who urged that the petitions be made readily available and from those who raised concerns about the safety of domestic abuse victims who wanted to keep their addresses confidential. ►Milwaukee Journal Sentinel -- 02/06/2012
