Informational Interviews
By Vicki Lind, MS and Gail Nicholson, MS, LPC
Informational interviews are an integral part of your career exploration process. They allow you to access a new field and its key players. The answers you get can help you shape a resume that targets the transferable skills most appropriate to your desired field. In this phase, it's not essential that the person you're interviewing has knowledge of direct job openings. However, if this is a quality exchange with you, he or she may be able to lead you to position openings after your search becomes more focused. He or she could be one degree of separation from the person who ends up hiring you.
The following guidelines will stimulate your thinking. Chose four or five that truly pique your interest- the whole list would take a few hours. Find a balance between thoughtful planning and allowing time for spontaneous exchanges.
You're most likely to get an informational interview if you've been referred by a mutual friend, colleague, or friend of a friend. This is called a "warmed" lead.
When you make contact, tell the person that you value his or her time and will bring some specific questions with you. Ask if it would be helpful to send the questions in advance. Preparing questions will help you shape the interview to meet your needs.
Start by suggesting a 20-minute interview at this person's place of work.
If someone says that they do not have time, ask if you can have 5 minutes now or later, when it is more convenient. Also, if that person can't be of help, ask him or her to suggest someone else whom you might contact.
Generally, you'll want to bring a resume, or send it ahead if they prefer. Another option is to ask if you could send a resume as follow-up to the interview. This way you have a reason for a second contact and can adapt your resume to what you learned in the informational interview.
You may not get answers to all of your questions. The purpose of an informational interview is to gather information and build rapport. If the person would be a valuable addition to your network, the rapport may be the most important component of the interview.
Possible Questions
Tell me about your career and how you became a ____________.
What degrees or training did you have when you entered this field? Is that typical? What degrees and skills help someone advance in this field?
Do you think that the organization is committed to sustainability? If so, in what ways?
What are its plans for sustainability in the future? Has time and money been allocated to carry them out?
Tell me about your typical workday. What are your most favorite/least favorite parts of the day? How much time is on the computer?
How much interacting with people? How much outside of the office?
Where is the field going? Where is the most growth in jobs expected?
Are there some specialties or job titles within this field or closely linked to it that I might explore?
Are there any specialized skills or knowledge for which there is increasing demand?
What are the entry, the mid-level, and the high salaries in the field?
Are there local professional organizations with open meetings that I might attend?
Journals that you recommend?
Could you give me the names of two or three people to whom I could talk further?
May I contact you again if I have any additional questions or when I begin my job search?
May I check back in with you in few weeks or months to see any new positions have opened up?
Follow up right away with a thank you in a format that is consistent with the culture of the organization. For example, a thank you to someone in a small conservation-minded non-profit might enjoy a hand-written note on a Sierra Club card; a person in a hip creative firm might prefer a witty e-mail. Hopefully, the thank you letter will be the first of many exchanges. Stay in touch and find ways to build on the connection. For example, if you see an article that might be of interest to the interviewer, you can send it along. You never know when someone will develop into a significant professional relationship.

"Perceptive, creative & resourceful"
Working with Hannah is an absolute pleasure. Her enthusiasm and energy is a breath of fresh air and she has done a phenomenal job taking on the River Cottage PR strategy and generating fabulous coverage and networking us in with some really great press
Knowledgeable, tenacious and driven with an obvious love of food, Hannah is all you could ask for. Great fun to be around but is capable of telling me in the nicest possible terms when I'm wrong. I couldn't ask for more.
Hannah has delivered fantastic national coverage and reviews for The Small Holding. She's the best and is a pleasure to have on the team.
In the ten years I've worked with her, it's hard to remember if Hannah has fixed me up with more great media partnerships or great meals. Foodies everywhere know, love and trust her. Her little black book oozes flavour and could as easily be mistaken for belonging to Giles Coren as Carole Stone.
When it comes to creating and delivering a communications strategy there are a lot of companies that talk a good game and cost a lot of money, but The Dining Room helps you to make it work for your business. Hannah has enabled us, coached us and given us the confidence to share our story widely. By engaging customers and industry commentators alike, she is bringing our new business great results. Nothing is too much trouble for Hannah, and she is a pleasure to have as part of our team
Hannah is perceptive, creative and resourceful. Her work on our behalf is very effective, increasing awareness and exposure for our work. We recommend her highly.
I have dealt with scores of food PRs over the decade that I've worked as a food writer, but Hannah is a PR who really stands out from the crowd. Not only does she totally 'get' what a food journalist needs but, thanks to her great working relationships with the people she represents, and her efficiency, she delivers too. It is clear that Hannah is hugely respected by chefs and food editors alike, and her contacts and knowledge would be hard to rival.
I really like the approach, tone and aesthetic of The Dining Room PR and Hannah clearly knows her stuff. Something I (sadly) can't credit many PR agencies with!

Kathryn L. Harry recognized by Top 100 Trial Lawyers Organization
Oakbrook, IL (PRWEB) November 14, 2013
Chicago area criminal defense lawyer Kathryn L. Harry was named a 2013 Top 100 Trial Lawyer by the National Trial Lawyers organization. The National Trial Lawyers: Top 100 is an invite only organization comprised of the premier trial lawyers in each state who meet the strict requirements. Each selected lawyer possesses the knowledge, skill, experience and success held by only the finest and best lawyers in America.
Attorneys are selected through a multi-step process that includes third-party research and peer nominations. Top 100 Trial Lawyer memberships are only extended to the select few qualified attorneys around the country who demonstrate the elite qualifications of leadership, reputation, influence, stature and public profile.
The National Trial Lawyers: Top 100 provides high quality education, informational programs and professional networking for accredited trial lawyers throughout the United States. The organization strives to give its members a competitive edge within today's challenging legal profession.
Harry has been licensed within the Illinois courts and the Federal General Bar since 1991. Harry is an active member of the DuPage County Bar Association where she has previously served as Chair of the Professional Responsibility Committee, Chair of the Bankruptcy Committee, a member on the subcommittee for the Family Law Trial Advocacy Workshop and a member of the Legal Referral Service Committee. Harry also holds an Avvo rating of 9.7 or "superb" based on peer endorsements and client reviews. Avvo describes Harry as an experienced and aggressive attorney who works to win.
Harry founded the Oakbrook law firm, Kathryn L. Harry & Associates, P.C. in 1995. The firm focuses primarily on the legal areas of criminal defense and family law. Harry's areas of practice include DUI defense, child support, custody and visitation, divorce, family law, criminal law and traffic law. "The skills and experiences gained by our lawyers from a combined practice of criminal defense and family law are priceless. Family law and criminal defense work complement one another. Most family law attorneys never try a case. Whereas, our criminal defense lawyers are taking cases to trial continuously. This makes us more valuable in a family law setting because we have a leg up on the competition. On the other hand, our skills gained in the family law negotiation process often come into play when the need arises to negotiate a plea bargain for our criminal clients. We are the best of both worlds", says Harry.
Kathryn L. Harry & Associates, P.C. is an experienced Chicago criminal defense firm providing quality legal defense in traffic, misdemeanor and felony matters. Also, the lawyers represent clients from all walks of life in the often troubling areas of divorce, custody, and all areas of family law.

Found Wanting: Alisa Luciano, "I wanted to believe God was a good Father."
This is the last in a series of guests posts for a blog project I've called, "Found Wanting." If you've only just arrived, I hope you'll catch up on the stories below. During Jesus' earthly ministry, it was not uncommon for him to approach the sick and sin-sick with this question: "What do you want?" In John 5, he speaks with a man lying next to the healing waters of Bethesda, a man who has been an invalid for 38 years.
"When Jesus saw him lying there and knew that he had already been there a long time, he said to him, 'Do you want to be healed?'"
The man seizes an excuse. "I have no one to put me into the pool when the water is stirred up."
Was it too much for this man to hope for healing?
What is too great a risk to invite the responsibility for walking again?
There can be fear in desire: fear that we will want what God will always refuse to give; fear that we will not want whatever God, in his sovereignty, chooses to give.
Ultimately, we are profoundly afraid of ceding into the hands of God our trust.
I'm grateful for those willing to share their stories of desire here. I'm neither applauding nor condemning their stories: rather, I am amplifying their desires - and reminding each of us that to be human is to want. In my book, Teach Us to Want, I write, "Desire takes shape in the particularities of our lives. We cannot excerpt desire from the anthology of our stories. Our desires say something about us – who we have been, who we are and who we are becoming. They tell a part of the story that God is telling through us, even the beautiful and complicated story of being human and becoming holy."
To catch up on the series, read these featured stories: Amy Chaney, "I didn't want to be a coach's wife." Beth Bruno, "I've wanted beauty." Wendy Stringer, "I didn't want to move to suburbia." Steve Burks, "I've wanted to produce entertainment." Faydra Stratton, "I didn't want a child with Fragile X." Brook Seekins, "I never wanted to be a missionary in Africa." Sarah Van Beveren, "I have always wanted to be strong." Holly Pennington, "I didn't want to find out what I wanted." Larry Shallenberger, "I wanted to know what I wanted." Hannah Anderson, "I didn't want - because I couldn't afford to." Megan Hill, "I want your blessing." Bronwyn Lea, "I wanted a boyfriend, college scholarships, permission to sleep over at the popular kid's house." Jennifer Tatum, "I've wanted to be a woman of faith, but . . ." Sarah Torna Roberts, "I didn't want to be broken." Suanne Camfield, "I want a bigger house." Courtney Reissig, "I wanted a baby." Cara Meredith, "I've wanted it all." Anonymous, "I want to not want marriage anymore." Deborah Kurtz, "I wanted a husband." Ben Jolliffe, "I wanted nothing." Charity Singleton Craig, "I wanted to get married." Hannah Vanderpool, "I didn't want to stay in America." Dorothy Greco, "I don't want to doubt." Natasha Sistrunk Robinson, "I wanted security." Kris Camealy, "I've wanted to be known."
Today, Alisa Luciano shares her story of desire.
* * * * *
I wanted to believe God was a good Father. Unfortunately, I visualized God the Father as a harsh, exacting being, ready to hurl wrath on His creation. Even a growing trust in His sovereignty throughout history made me worry what His sovereign plans might hold. I had a healthy belief in the consuming-fire-God (Hebrews 12:29). But I wanted to hear, "Be not afraid. I am your Father and you are my child" (Isaiah 43:1)
After an unexpected bout with anxiety, an abusive church situation, a dead-end job, a bad economy that led to a temporarily unemployed husband, and a nearly complete graduate degree, I found out I was having a baby. I begged God to help me understand why He had chosen to give us a child, at this time. Having a child seemed humanly insurmountable – under-employment, a one bedroom residence, five and ten year plans gone seriously awry. I knew many Hannahs, kneeling before the altar of God, weeping and praying for a child... Was I really weeping because I was being given one I didn't want? But our Father in Heaven is the Creator of the tangible, not controlled by it.
After a turbulent existence for the next six months, I was diagnosed with mild preeclampsia at week 31. In six days, my liver became enflamed. I found myself on bed rest, delirium overhanging my head, unable to lift my phone to read incoming texts, reciting Psalm 125 in my head. I had HELLP syndrome. Suddenly, my life and the life of my baby were hovering at the gateway to the valley of the shadow of death. In God's gracious and miraculous timing, down to exact hours and minutes, I had an emergency C-section and saw a tiny 3lb baby girl being whisked away to the NICU, breathing on her own.
The circumstances careened beyond my control. When I was unable to comprehend any future beyond the current second that ticked on the clock, there was none of ME left. Life shifted so incredibly beyond my control, that I had no choice but to hope in God's good care. While enduring the agonizing process of bringing new life into the world, I had no choice but to trust the eternal Father, the Creator and Sustainer of life, whose steadfast love never wavers. My desire to believe the goodness of God was strong. The desire to understand Him as a gracious Father was fulfilled on a stretcher, in a brightly lit operating room, in a NICU nursery room, in the parenting realities of each day.
God gave me what I did not know I needed or wanted. A bouncing baby girl, arriving on Earth so astonishingly, that I have never worried about God's care for her life. As I have learned how to parent, I have breathed in the perfect and complete the love of the Heavenly Father. I found this gracious care is the only treasure that can turn worry into peace, tumult into calm, nothing into everything. Possessing the love of the Heavenly Father endows strengthening freedom found within His shadow. And so, now, I can now truly pray, "Our Father who art in Heaven...your will be done, on Earth as it is in Heaven…" knowing He is a kind and gracious Father with a good will for my life.

We have all pretty much lip-synced to a tune or two, but have you ever seen anything as adorable as this pair? Talk about cuteness overload, and the internet thinks so too—it's not hard to see why this video went viral.
The little girl's name is Myla Wesson, and this sing-a-long is a routine she and her dad, Justin, have perfected.
View this post on Instagram
I always knew I wanted you to be my baby daddy one day😏I'm so thankful for the love you have for us and all that you do. Myla says she is thankful for all of your living room dance parties and hanging in her princess tent no matter how awkward you fit in it. And I'm sure our little boy will be thankful for all of the future fishing trips you guys will be going on. And no, that doesn't mean you get to go buy a new boat!😄Happy Fathers Day Dada! We love you so much❤
After the bathing ritual, Dad, wrapped in a towel, and Myla, in her bathrobe, take to the stage in front of the mirror.
They both put their heart and soul into the lip sync to "Girls Like You" by Maroon 5.
Incredibly, Maroon 5 saw the dad-and-daughter rendition, clicked "like," and commented, "This is too good."
Soooo this just happened!!! I'm freaking out a little!!😱Definitely did not expect to go viral! Let alone get a shout out from Maroon 5!!😍
Posted by Trina Wesson on Sunday, October 7, 2018
Myla has her own style added in, and as you can see, her dad is so proud of her; she is obviously the apple of his eye.
A ton of YouTubers have already watched the video since it was posted online on Oct. 8, 2018. One wrote: "Never seen anything so cute!!! She's so small and look how adorable she is already! Beautiful father and daughter moves!"
Another wrote: "I swear when she flipped her foot up I totally DIED!!! (high pitched scream at the cuteness!!!!!!!!)."
"I've lost count of how many times I've watched this," added another. "Thank you for sharing the love. Myla is amazing!"
It's amazing that she knows the song by heart. It's just one of life's precious moments, and without the internet we would not be able to share in such moments.
It is one video her family, and maybe even you too, are sure to watch over and over.
Watch the little performance below:

Illustrators and graphic designers create dramatic visions of the future in response to a new story written by the novelist Hari Kunzru.
Set in a future London, Hari Kunzru's new story is about a dystopian society in which the world's information has been wiped out by an immense magnetic storm. With technology gone, the dark ages prevail controlled by an organisation believing in extreme simplicity.
Amid this chaos is one man, locked in a cell, trying to remember the past. Inside his 'memory palace' he attempts to piece together the fragments of a lost life, re-constructing those moments in history that he can remember in the belief that without memory, civilization is doomed.

…homemade cards are the best
I have to admit that I purchased a card for my husband but for my Dad I made one. I took some of the transparency film that I printed and cut it into heart shapes and arranged them onto a folded piece of card stock. I added extra detail with white ink.
I gave it to my father this morning with a jar of hand and body cream that he likes and a small chocolate heart that I purchased at the farmers' market yesterday. He was delighted and surprised. For one thing he was under the assumption that only men gave Valentine's gifts to women so this gift was completely unexpected. Aren't those the best kind? I think so.

I cannot comment on the quality or Function of the Grills as I never received mine. I order a Texas Elite 34 at the Minnesota State Fair on Aug. 23rd for $899 with a few extras and was told this was the lowest price ever (Not True). They did not tell me about the pro series which I found later. They said it would be delivered within 7 days. 2 weeks later no grill so I called customer service just asking on when I would get the grill. They could not find my order and did not believe I ordered one... They said I had to email them my receipt as they could do nothing on the phone.

Perfect for adding that delicious smoke flavor to any food you crave - meats cheeses veggies and nuts. A great choice for cold or hot smoking your favorite ... More + Product Details Close
Consumer-level Traeger grills are considered a mid-range type of pellet grill, so they're good for those wanting to try pellet grills for the first time. Traeger models like the Lil' Tex Elite 22 or the Tailgater cost several hundred dollars and can grill about 12 to 16 burgers at a time. Larger Traeger grills will generally carry low four-figure prices, such as the Pro Series 34 or the Select Pro, which can hold 32 to 40 burgers between the upper and lower grilling racks.
Despite often being called "pellet grills," they still cook via indirect heat, as opposed to flame, and are better seen as a smoker. They're excellent for smoking briskets, chicken and turkey, salmon and other fish, but maybe not for steaks, as you won't be able to get the same crispy, browned sear they call for, and that you can get with an open-flame grill.
Rifles Delivery Confirmation-Adult Signature Required. Customer must provide a physical address for delivery of this item. Cannot ship to a PO Box or APO/FPO addresses. Black powder rifles are not shipped to customers in IL, MI, NJ, NY and Washington, DC because of restrictions. This item will be removed from your order if your shipping address is to a restricted location.
Traeger Pro Series 34 - Nowhere in the advertisements nor the website nor the owner's manual does it let the customer know that in order to prevent stall out's while cooking at low temperatures (250) that the hopper must be stirred every hour and a half or so to prevent gaps in the feed of the pellets. We lost a very nice cut of meat to this after having to get up in the middle of the night to check on the cooking at a temperature of 250 degrees (which had stalled again, leaving the grill and the meat cold). This is the second time using the grill.
Bought the Costco trade show model after about 4 years of debating the purchase... OK, first one broke on day one as "auger" stopped spinning. Returned and received a new unit. 2nd one smoked a turkey for 4.5 hours. After 4 hours temp. dropped to 100 degrees and it was set to 350. When I opened the smoker to check on why this happened, it exploded into a ball of flames! There was fire shooting out from all sides of the grill and smoke and heat coming from the feeder side of the grill... This was SCARY and could have absolutely caused a major fire, and/or injury!!!
Main Problem (Product): Main Barrel arrived damaged (bent inward on one end where the open area is located), and the replacement was sent a month and a half later since my purchase. Its an 80 lb. box, with little padding, and all of the components are placed loosely in the barrel. The small tack welds inside for the trip tray arrived broken. (One person struggles with this big heavy box) They would do better by placing more cushion for shipping.
The digital controller controls temperatures from 150F to 500F in 5-degree increments; that's the most precise we've found on a pellet grill, and gives you a good, precise burn. There's also Sense-Mate, a thermal sensor that monitors the smoker's internal temperature, so you can keep an eye on it remotely on your phone via Wifi, letting you adjust the temperature from the app.

2. The grill does not come back to the set temperature after the lid is opened and closed to place the meat. I start it, close the lid, set the temp (startup procedure has changed to this according to Traeger service tech) and after 15 or 20 minutes it is not at the set temp yet...in fact it is declining. Well I need to cook on it and cannot wait forever so I open the lid quickly, throw the meat on, and close the lid quickly.

Compared to the Traeger Pro and the other smokers we've reviewed, there's not much not to like about this bad boy. It's significantly cheaper, packs ample cooking space, and a good, consistent temperature controller. At 173 lbs, it is quite heavy, and not at all portable like the Davy Crocket, and we'd love to see it come with more precise temperature control, and maybe even WiFi in the future. But for the price, it's a beast of smoker that is almost as good as the Traeger.
Currently, online retailers only have to charge customers sales tax who are located in the same state as the business which takes the original order. Camp Chef main offices and warehouse facilities are located in Utah in addition to Washington State. Therefore, only customers who purchase items from us and are also located in Utah, Colorado, Massachusetts, Indiana, Pennsylvania, and Washington will be charged sales tax.

Traeger's, unlike other models, have a temperature probe, these sensors tell it if the temperature is too low and automatically feeds more pellets to the fire. You can set up the temperature in 5-degree increments. Other brands and cheaper versions only offer three settings low, medium and high. There is no sensor to monitor the temperature. If you are purchasing a pellet grill it is because you can set it and forget it. If you plan to hoover then it makes more sense to use a standard smoker or to transform your grill into a smoker.

Vegas Golden Knights center Cody Eakin was penalized five minutes for cross-checking the Sharks' Joe Pavelski in the third period of Game 7 on Tuesday, sparking an unbelievable turn of events.
Eakin was ejected at the 9:13 mark of the final frame with the Vegas Golden Knightsholding a 3-0 lead. The San Jose Sharks scored four goals during the power play to jump ahead 4-3. Jonathan Marchessault then tied the game for Vegas with 47 seconds left before the Sharks won in overtime, with Barclay Goodrow scoring the series-clinching goal.
Here's the play when Eakin was ejected:

After the game, Marchessault voiced his disgust with the call.
"It's a fucking joke. It's embarrassing," he said, according to The Athletic's Jesse Granger. "That's what it is. It changed the entire outcome of the game, and the season."

The Friends of Sleepy Hollow (FOSH) is a 501(c)(3) non-profit and charitable organization. Our mission is community development by saving historic homes in need of significant restoration and by beautifying Plainfield's historic streets and neighborhoods. The historic homes gracing these neighborhoods date back from the late 19th century to the first decades of the 1900s. Though Plainfield has an abundance of beautiful historic neighborhoods - like Sleepy Hollow, Netherwood Heights, Hillside Avenue, Crescent Avenue, Putnam-Watchung, and Van Wyck Brooks – many of the historic properties in these neighborhoods are in need of significant restoration that is often unaffordable to the residents of Plainfield. Plainfield is a special-needs district, designated as an SDA District and previously called an Abbott District, with low to medium income earners for whom the cost of large-scale restoration is unaffordable. But if this restoration does not occur, these properties may be torn down and lost forever. Sadly, many of the historic homes that once existed – significant in architecture and heritage - have already suffered this fate. As has already been accomplished to great effect by the Preservation Society of Charleston in South Carolina and by the National Trust in the UK, it is our mission to save and restore our remaining architectural treasures so they can be enjoyed by generations to come.
We accomplish our mission through volunteerism and fundraising. Volunteerism encompasses all activities needed to upkeep our historic neighborhoods, from landscaping to painting the local train station or the home of a neighbor who can't afford a contractor or is too elderly to do the work themselves. Fundraising is focused on two types of charitable funds, the Beautification Fund and the Historic Restoration Fund.
Beautification Fund: Money donated to the Beautification Fund is dedicated to smaller scale projects, such as covering the cost of paints and materials needed for volunteer activities, and purchasing neighborhood street signs and house plaques that enhance the identity and charm of our historic neighborhoods.
Historic Preservation Fund: Money donated to the Historic Preservation Fund is dedicated exclusively for the purpose of saving homes in need of significant restoration. FOSH is currently in the process of raising sufficient charitable donations to acquire and restore its first historic home. To accomplish this goal we will need the support of big-hearted donors who value community and heritage. If a property can be acquired and restored, it will then be sold with 100% of the net proceeds of the sale reinvested in the community by acquiring a second historic property in need of significant restoration, and so on and so forth. With all assets in the Fund reinvested toward the singular purpose of historic preservation, the Fund will become a community-building engine dedicated to revitalizing and preserving Plainfield's historic neighborhoods.
Please consider contributing. All donations are tax deductible. Every donation, regardless of size, helps carry out our vital mission of saving Plainfield's architectural and historic heritage.

Hello everyone,
My name is Elikplim Gada, an 18 year old Ghanaian, and a second year geological engineering student at Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology.
I am the second of four children being raised by my mother who is a single parent. My mother, Paulina Diaba, is a hardworking woman who spares no effort to keep food on the table; she had been taking care of us singled handedly ever since our father, Gabriel Gada passed on. She worked as a house help and fed us with the little she received. However, bearing the full cost of our education is a burden and she is no longer working due to her illness.
During this vacation I worked as a pupil's teacher to raise funds to pay my fees but due to the limited time and no other means of financial assistance, I have not been able to raise enough funds so I have resorted to this campaign as my only hope.
I encounter several challenges as I am schooling; my feeding, accommodation and transportation every day. Because my mom is endeavoring through these hard times, I try my best to keep my grades up, knowing that I have opportunities that my mother never had and I am fully motivated to reach my career goal of being a geological engineer.
I will appreciate anything you contribute. All contributors will be given recognition and will be made public on your permission.

Providence might have a budget, but it still doesn't have a fire chief.
It has now been four years since Clarence Cunha retired as chief of the Providence fire department, but the city has struggled to find a replacement during an on-and-off search that spanned nearly all of Mayor Jorge Elorza's first term in office and has now creeped into his second term.
So what's the holdup?
You might remember that when Cunha retired, Providence was just at the starting point of what would become a bitter dispute with its firefighters' union as Elorza tried to control overtime spending in the department. There were pickets and protests. Grievances and lawsuits piled up. Finding a chief in that climate was nearly impossible.
The city then paid a headhunting firm $25,000 to gather a list of candidates and at least 30 people have applied for the job over the last four years, but a mandatory retirement age of 60 and a maximum salary ($168,000) that fell on the low end for cities of Providence's size meant no one ultifmately took the job. The retirement age and salary have since been raised.
The City Council has become so convinced that a new chief won't be named that it tried to eliminate funding for the job in this year's budget, but the position was eventually restored. For now, Public Safety Commissioner Steven Pare is serving as the acting chief.
And the search continues.

"Buster" (citywide) is really two movies. The first is a somewhat antic re-creation of the 1963 Glasgow-London mail train heist; this part is a little bloodless and hectic. It skitters along with more nervousness than tension, and it pales beside most other heist movies, from "The Asphalt Jungle" right up to this year's "Bellman and True."
The second half is a slightly dotty but endearing true-life love story about two fish out of water: a scapegrace bank robber on the run in Acapulco and his loyal but unadaptable wife, who prefers steak and chips to tortillas and can't stand the heat, the hospitals, the hedonism.
It's here that the film's social perspective slips most clearly into focus. Buster Edwards (played by rock singer-composer Phil Collins) is an ebullient little sociopath. He's a slimy-slick little lower-class con man who envies the toffs and is always ablaze with get-rich-quick schemes. His wife, June (Julie Walters), is a long-suffering, loyal, tough helpmate, who always has to sweep up the pieces.
The members of the mail train gang aren't portrayed as violent deviants either. They're a faceless mob in suit and tie, perhaps all bewitched by the myths of social mobility. In this case, Buster and his buddy, Frank Reynolds (Larry Lamb), the gang leader, realize the wildest dream of all of them. Those two win the pool, relieve the train of more than 2.6 million, even while most of their unlucky comrades rot in jail: victims of a pre-election law-and-order campaign by the scandal-rocked Tory government.
Yet, in true nouveau riche fashion, the lucky proles squander the jackpot, losing much of the share of the swag to swindlers and money-changers. It's here that the movie hits its core theme. Buster's buddy Frank revels in Acapulco. He and wife Franny are arrivistes with a vengeance, luxuriating in the fancy menus and beaches.
But Buster, whom we first see bashing in a shop window and stealing a clothes dummy to get himself a suit for a friend's funeral, is, for all his bluff and con, basically a family man. He's in love with a woman whose values are set and sturdy, who prefers a substantial climate--rain, fog, snow and misery--to Acapulco. That's the richer story--and because what happens to Mr. and Mrs. Buster Edwards is basically true, it adds sauce to the irony.
"Buster" remains essentially divided. The first half doesn't lead inevitably into the second; doesn't plant enough of the right seeds--either of the Buster-June or Buster-Frank relationships. Writer Colin Shindler and director David Green are after all the dry little details that would make this daft love-and-money story ring true. And they get a lot of them: the period rock 'n' roll, the costumes, the streets, a slice of "Rawhide" on TV, all the ambiance of the early James Bond-Beatles era.
But in a way, they're too dry, too real--and maybe too superficial. They downplay the robbery too much, and they don't compensate with enough enlivening humor. "Buster" is a movie that needs a lot more edge in its first half, in order to let the sweetness and surprise of the second flow out more easily. Except in the performance of Julie Walters as June, and some of the time, Sheila Hancock as her mother and Collins as Buster, it doesn't really get it.
Walters is the best reason for seeing the movie. Her emotions are real as rain and flowers and hot sausage, true as steel. She incarnates an essential resilience and purity in some lower-class urban marriages.
Surrounded by the muck of the city, the lunacy and danger of Buster's dreams, Walters' June clings to those few things she can count on, while her loving, destructive scamp of a husband dances all around her. There's something both funny and inspiring in that resolve: reason enough to see "Buster."

Inmost is very good (except for the end, where they gave up on making a game) but it's really fucking dark, making it an odd choice for Apple Arcade, a service many parents will consider as a cheap baby-sitter and on which they'll give their children free rein.
Art Plunge is worth it just for Mona Lisa
Seeing her up-close in VR — and very well recreated — might be the first time I've understood the fascination with her eyes and smile. (I'm incapable of "entering" a painting by my own means.)
It took me a bit too long to understand what I was doing, but I loved everything else about Astrologaster
The writing, sharp, funny, acerbic and sometimes delightfully vulgar; the visuals; the voice acting; the songs; the songs! the songs are incredible.
I'm enjoying Inmost, but of course I hate playing it on a touchscreen
I could pair a gamepad to my iPad, but then the 11" screen would be much farther away from me than I like. Yet it'd be weird buying on Steam a game I got 'for free' with Apple Arcade.
Ummmm Untitled Goose Game model on Thingiverse, with a magnet in the beak HELLO
The Great C (PC) —
The random jump cuts in Comfort mode are really distracting — but even the beautiful slow pans in Cinematic mode are a really bad use of VR. If you want to make a movie, make a movie.
Woooo #VR
There hasn't been much buzz about the single-player campaign of Red Dead Redemption 2. Should I just wait until it's finally half-price in a 2022 Steam sale if I don't intend to spend much time in the online mode?
I just happened upon a Half-Life 2 screenshot and suddenly realized why playing with an iPhone 11's ultra-wide camera in the store felt so trippy: with the fisheye distortion magicked away in post-processing, the phone turns reality into a first-person game.
The haptic controllers definitely sound cool
But how on earth do you decide to make a worldwide announcement for a release next year with just "it has an SSD and new controllers"?

(Crain's) -- Illinois' medical-malpractice insurers face an 18% jump in costs following the state Supreme Court's decision earlier this month to strike down a law limiting jury payouts, according to a study released Monday by Milliman Inc.
Illinois med-mal ruling to boost insurers' costs 18%: study
The consulting firm said the recent removal of caps on malpractice awards would lead to higher costs per malpractice claim, on average. The number of people suing their doctors also is likely to rise, the firm said.
"The magnitude of the estimated increase is largely a reflection of the tort environment in Illinois," Chad Karls, a principal at Seattle-based Milliman, said in a statement. "In Illinois, claim severities have been among the highest in the country."
The state Supreme Court's Feb. 4 ruling struck down a 2005 law that capped jury awards for pain and suffering and other "non-economic" damages to $500,000 per case for physicians and $1 million for hospitals.
The impact on the insurance rates that doctors pay, however, is less clear.
Insurers "were skeptical from the beginning that the legal reforms in Illinois would hold," so a sharp rate increase as a result of the court's decision is unlikely, said Susan Forray, a consulting actuary for Milliman.
But if the court had upheld the caps on damages, "we believe that skepticism would have dissipated and been reflected in possible rate decreases in the state," she said.
Separately, the Illinois Department of Insurance on Saturday said other measures included in the 2005 malpractice-reform law, and also struck down by the court's ruling, had helped stabilize runaway medical-liability rates. Those reforms gave regulators stronger oversight and required insurers to disclose more about how they set rates.
That helped stoke greater competition in Illinois, where Chicago-based ISMIE Mutual Insurance Co. has more than a 50% marketshare. In 2008, 19 firms wrote a significant amount of malpractice-insurance premiums in Illinois, up from 14 in 2005.
The Department of Insurance urged insurers to voluntarily continue complying with those now-scuttled rules.

Will Smith has been slated to play the role of Richard Williams, the father and first coach of tennis sisters Venus and Serena Williams, but his casting has sparked controversy, as some purists say his skin is "not black enough."
'King Richard' will tell the rags-to-riches story of Williams, who began training his daughters in tennis from an early age to see them become two of the most successful players in history.
But the fact that Williams happens to have a darker skin tone than Smith has broken political correctness rules in Hollywood and online, where a certain cohort who appear to be permanently offended by one thing or another, are complaining that Smith is the wrong shade of black. Yes, really.
While we love us some Will Smith, we're gonna have to pass on him playing Serena Williams' father for the upcoming biopic 'King Richard' (for obvious reasons). But me & @iRunWithLula have come up with five other incredible black actors who are better fit for the bid.
— my name isn't via (@viasimone_) 5 марта 2019 г.
"Will Smith isn't black enough". Welcome to 2019 everybody.
— Ryan (@46Rain2) 5 марта 2019 г.
Hollywood is no stranger to race controversies. Everyone already knows that it's probably best if white actors play white roles, black actors play black roles and Asian actors play asian roles. Actress Emma Stone found that out the hard way after playing an Asian role in 'Aloha' in 2016 and facing major backlash for the misstep. But now it seems that choosing a black actor for a black role is not quite good enough — and even promoting "colorism."
What's next? Australian actors won't be allowed to play American characters? (Sorry Nicole Kidman and Cate Blanchett, new rules!) Older actors won't be allowed play younger roles? Straight actors won't be allowed to play gay characters? Gay actors won't be able to play straight roles?
Identity politics does seem to be pushing things in that purist direction. Scarlett Johansson recently abandoned a transgender role after serious backlash from the outrage police because she herself is not transgender. Similarly, black actress Zoe Saldana was accused of wearing "blackface" for her use of makeup when she played jazz musician Nina Simone in a 2016 biopic.
In the case of Smith, some Twitter warriors even offered that an "unknown" actor should be given a shot in the major Hollywood biopic. Another suggested that "literally any actor" with the correct shade of skin should have been given the role — suggestions sure to appeal to the production studio, which no doubt only cares about the artistic value of the movie and not the fact that Smith is one of the most acclaimed and bankable actors in Hollywood who can attract a wide audience.
Obviously nothing against Will Smith, but why is he playing Venus and Serena's Father?? Yes, the man can act but for the love of God there are dark-skinned Black men that can act too.
They can get one these men to do it or maybe even give an unknown actor a shot. pic.twitter.com/CTdxVTMT2v
— Neysha 🔜 #SXSW (@La_Ney_sha) 5 марта 2019 г.
Literally any actor whose Fenty foundation shade is 430 and up should have this opportunity
— Eboni (@CocoaGoddess) 5 марта 2019 г.
But the complaints about Smith went even further than his race. There were actually complaints that Smith's personality does not quite match that of Williams — but, is that not the whole point of "acting?"
And besides the skin tone, Will Smith and Richard Williams are two completely different dudes philosophically. Will preaches a gospel of how everything will conspire to help you reach your goals. Richard's gospel is that of achieving despite the fact the world wants you fail
— Beyonce has an uncle named Larry Beyince. Bruh…. (@DragonflyJonez) 5 марта 2019 г.
Luckily, others did inject some logic and reason into the debate, pointing out that there was no discussion about "colorism" on other occasions when Smith played the roles of real-life people with darker skin than his.
Some of you are BEYOND ignorant. Will Smith is a phenomenal actor and I believe he will do a great job portraying Richard Williams. Have you forgotten that Will also portrayed Chris Gardener in the Pursuit of Happyness? Stop it with the colorism and ignorance. pic.twitter.com/f3qV3NXMEX
— S. Marlene Wimberly (@2BGMEDIA) 5 марта 2019 г.
Will Smith isn't black enough to play a blackman, you guys are ridiculous
— Ryan hunts (@RyanhuntsM) 5 марта 2019 г.
Adding some much-needed humor to the 'scandal', one commenter joked that Smith, who has also been cast for a role in Aladdin "can't possibly play the role of a fictional blue genie."
Indeed, totally outrageous. Where are all the blue actors?
While we're at it, can we talk about Will Smith being cast to play Aladdin? A light-skinned black actor can't possibly play the role of a fictional blue genie. pic.twitter.com/s7XLXhM0oz

June 1, 1989, Section A, Page 8Buy Reprints
For many Chinese and foreign viewers of the latest upheavals, China's script in the last few weeks has resembled a Greek tragedy: Deng Xiaoping is cast as the once-heroic leader whose intolerance and hubris cause him to destroy much of what he has accomplished. What impels a man like
Mr. Deng, China's senior leader, to undermine in a few weeks what took him a decade to achieve: a stable political order, respect in Hong Kong for China's good intentions, the preparations for a succession of power?
Mr. Deng's critics - and these days they are numerous - often assume that his decision to dismiss his chosen successor, Zhao Ziyang, and summon troops to crack down on the democracy movement simply reflects the tenacity of his ambition, an unwillingness or inability to share power. Mr. Deng is undoubtedly reluctant to give up the power he has grown used to, but there is an additional explanation to account for his horror of the democracy movement. Question With an Answer
''If our country were plunged into disorder and our nation reduced to a heap of loose sand, how could we ever prosper?'' Mr. Deng asked in a speech more than two years ago, on the eve of his last crackdown on a student movement. ''The reason the imperialists were able to bully us in the past was precisely that we were a heap of loose sand.''
He and others of his generation spent the first half of their lives in a China racked by division and chaos, where the hopes of modernizing movements always seemed frustrated by the country's disorder.
The lessons about chaos were burned into their psyches again when the Cultural Revolution began in 1966 and led to hundreds of thousands of deaths and other personal tragedies in their families. More Than Distaste
''They have a deep-seated allergy to any form of disorder,'' a Western diplomat said recently in Beijing. ''They have an intense belief that they need stability in order to have development.''
The distaste for student unrest is perhaps accentuated because Mr. Deng's oldest son, Deng Pufang, was permanently paralyzed after being pushed from a window at Beijing University by student militants during the Cultural Revolution.
''While Westerners have tended to think of China as under firm rule, Deng tends to see the potential for chaos, and may often feel the central Government is hanging on by its fingernails,'' explained Kenneth G. Lieberthal, director of the Center for Chinese Studies at the University of Michigan. ''He wants reform but not at the price of chaos.''
While Mr. Deng is best known for his efforts to open China's economy, and, to a lesser extent, its political system, these are simply means to achieve his most cherished aim: modernization. And Mr. Deng has made clear that he regards political protest as inimical to modernization. He seems to see bubbles of discontent not as a sign of China's resilience but as a sign of its growing malaise and weakness.
In a speech early in 1979, when he was cracking down on an earlier democracy movement, Mr. Deng warned that if it was allowed to continue, it would ''inevitably lead to the unchecked spread of ultra-democracy and anarchism, to the complete disruption of political stability and unity, and to the total failure of our modernization campaign.''
China will once again be plunged into chaos, division, retrogression and darkness, and the Chinese people will be deprived of all hope,'' he said. Power Became Habitual
In addition to this fear of chaos, there seems to have been a naked fear of losing power. For a group of old revolutionaries, men in their 80's who have held power for four decades and see their interests as virtually identical with their country's interests, there was a deep-seated alarm at the possibility that the Communist Party would crumble the way that Chinese dynasties have fallen.
''To retreat means our downfall,'' President Yang Shangkun said in a speech to the Politburo now being circulated among party officials. ''To retreat means the downfall of the People's Republic of China and the restoration of capitalism.''
There is also evident in the leadership a deep resentment against Mr. Zhao's unwillingness to play by the rules. The old leaders constructed China according to their vision, and Mr. Zhao apparently came to threaten not only that vision but also their personal hold on power. Respect for the elderly is fundamental practice in China, and yet Mr. Zhao openly disagreed with Mr. Deng and other senior officials. While they warned of the dangers of unrest, Mr. Zhao hailed the patriotic spirit of student demonstrators.
President Yang, an 82-year-old veteran military figure, suggested in the speech that one of Mr. Zhao's offenses was a simple lack of respect, an unwillingness to be subdued even in the presence of Mr. Deng. Unacceptable Individualism
''He insisted on his own idea,'' President Yang complained in the speech, a copy of which was obtained from students and has been verified by people who heard it read in party meetings. ''When Comrade Deng Xiaoping attended the meeting, he still insisted on his idea.''
For Communist Party leaders, who for decades have felt secure when a single voice emanated from the party, there has been something deeply troubling about Mr. Zhao's unwillingness to be quiet. Mr. Zhao in his speeches never openly broke with his colleagues, but his televised speeches were more conciliatory toward the protesters than those of other officials, and President Yang appears convinced that this is what stimulated the democracy movement.
The old revolutionaries seem to regard the public as having little or no independent vitality, but are simply a weather vane to be directed by the force of the Communist Party or the force of opposing ''bourgeois liberalism,'' whichever is greater. Their fear is that divisions within the party will strengthen the enemy.
China's former President, Li Xiannian, complained that ''there are two headquarters'' in the party, and that this confused people and encouraged unrest. While in the West there is a political tradition that glorifies the lone dissenter who sticks to his principles, in the Politburo Mr. Zhao's persistence came across as impudence and treachery. The Question of a Plot
Indeed, there may be more to the situation than is now known, and no one can rule out the possibility of Mr. Zhao plotting against Mr. Deng. A member of Mr. Zhao's camp confirmed that the party General Secretary had directly challenged Mr. Deng's authority, and there are some hints that Mr. Zhao's aides may have tried to stir up unrest in the belief that it would help their man.
In 1976, when it was to his advantage, Mr. Zhao reacted to the purge of Mr. Deng by calling on the masses to ''thoroughly expose and criticize the crimes of Deng Xiaoping.'' On this occasion, once again, his own interests may have crossed Mr. Deng's.
Mr. Deng and his comrades may have felt they had little choice but to take the actions they did, if they were to hold on to the power they had grown used to. It was not necessarily a blunder - a miscalculation of the impact of suppression on Hong Kong, on the succession plans or on China's domestic political stability - but a response to a higher imperative, from the perspective of the old revolutionaries. They felt that it came down to the need to preserve their own power, and also the need to save China.
Few people, in China or abroad, seem to agree with Mr. Deng that his actions have helped. But even many of his detractors believe it was such calculations that drove him to rise in a fury and turn on his protege and uproot the carefully laid plans for political stability and succession that previously had won him such acclaim.
Mr. Deng's actions have probably already cost him his reputation in China, for he is increasingly resented and disliked in the country he leads. Now the central question, which the coming months are likely to answer, will be whether his forceful intervention has staved off the chaos he dreads or merely worsened it.
