An El Cajon woman who went missing for four days, said she drove to Mexico by accident.
Anne Terhune, 61, disappeared Tuesday night, leaving many people in San Diego worried.
In an interview Sunday, Terhune told NBC 7 that she had intended to go to the library, only 15 minutes from her house. But instead, she got lost and accidentally crossed the border into Mexico.
"Suddenly, I was with all these cars, and we were driving in a line. It started raining, and I couldn't really see very well as far as what was going on, and I went into Mexico," Terhune explained.
"Everyone is like, 'well, there's big signs that say, you know, Mexico.' Sorry, I didn't see them," she said.
Terhune said she didn't have any money or a cell phone with her.
"I thought, oh no, I'm going to have to turn around."
According to Terhune, her gold Mercury Marquis ran out of gas as she tried to make her way back to the border. She said she walked to the nearest gas station, but when she came back, her car was gone.
"So I walked back to the Revolución because I wasn't far from the end anyway," she said. "It was really cold already, and these guys were cooking enchiladas and all this stuff on a charcoal fire inside this little building. I went in and sat down and ate some. It was so warm and nice in there. I fell asleep in the seat."
That's where Terhune slept the first night she was lost. Terhune said she doesn't remember many details from those four days. She said she does remember trying to get a hotel room, but didn't have any cash. She said she also tried calling home many times, but couldn't get through.
Four days after she went missing, Terhune was found in Mexico and driven home by an El Cajon police officer.
"My son and daughter were here, and everybody was just so emotional and keyed up," Terhune said. "I thought it would be, 'hey, happy day, I'm home!' And everyone was like, 'where were you?'"
Terhune told NBC 7 she doesn't have any medical conditions of which she is aware.
She and her husband Brian Moon said they are thankful to U.S. and Mexican law enforcement for bringing her home.
Terhune's family reported her missing to police Tuesday night. Moon called NBC 7 Saturday to say his wife was home safe. According to El Cajon police, U.S. Customs and Border Protection officials at the San Ysidro checkpoint notified police that they had located Terhune around 1 a.m. Saturday.

>What is this form? Why is it necessary? How should I answer these questions? Are they really needed? After all, don't we have the right to do what we want? These common questions, heard by dive instructors and physicians, also reach our medics each day on the DAN Medical Information Line.
>Yes, you do have the right to do what you want. However, when it comes to the health and safety of other divers, your trainer and those who bear the costs of rescue, transportation and treatment, limitations exist. We shouldn't forget that diving is a social activity, demanding responsibilities of you and countless others.
What is the Medical Statement?
>The medical statement, a set of unified standards, evolved from the need for consistency in minimum course training standards. Over the decades, fitness standards for recreational diving have varied widely. They have typically been established by the respective training agencies, often with a group of dive medicine professionals active in the day-to-day care of divers.
>Common themes have constantly stressed both cardiovascular and respiratory fitness and psychological stability. But as the sport gained popularity and attracted a broader population base, dive medicine and research have come to the forefront, helping define and shape the issues of dive fitness for the general population. How one answers those questions weighs heavily in the minds of more than just a few divers.
Why is the Medical Statement Necessary?
>Scuba diving probably causes the most challenging combination of physiological stresses the human body can encounter in daily life. Unlike mountain climbers, skydivers or participants in other recreational activities, the scuba divers who enter the underwater environment are at a distinct disadvantage while swimming through a dense medium and protecting themselves from excessive heat loss. Diving can require high levels of energy.
>The diver must also possess a cardiorespiratory system that can cope with the changes imposed by the direct effects of hydrostatic pressure and temperature. To maintain sufficient exchange of oxygen, carbon dioxide and nitrogen, the diver must be capable of breathing gases of increased density.
>The diver is also continuously challenged to adjust to changes in gas volumes as the air containing spaces in and around the body require constant equalization. And finally, the diver must be able to perform within the limits imposed by the possible toxic and narcotic qualities of altered gases.
>Sadly, each year we learn of dive accidents and mishaps that occur to divers who have been less than honest in their medical statements. Perhaps the various forms can seem overly generalized, but they serve as a good starting point in helping people foresee some of the potential health risks associated with recreational diving.
>So often we hear, "Had I only known it could be like this," and sometimes, only when it's too late. DAN's Medical Information Services are here to help people learn and understand the potential physiological risks of which they may not be aware.
>Last year alone, DAN answered nearly 14,000 telephone calls and emails through the information service, a service unlike that provided anywhere else in the world.
How Should I Answer These Questions?
>Please, answer these questions honestly. For your sake and for the sake of your family and your fellow divers, be honest with yourself and your physician. Remember, we always have a choice, but it is the consequences of your decision that may shape the lives and destinies of those around you.

So, Mogwai and Black Sabbath had an illegitimate lovechild. I don't know how, but it happened. Put up for adoption and lovingly raised by Seattle's Kinski, today it finds itself at the front end of their new album Alpine Static with the name 'Hot Stenographer'. It's not doing too bad for its age either - the acne scars have cleared up, the hair is glossy and well managed and we're past that awkward teenage phase. Earthy riffing is all over this song along with angular stop-starts and charging drumrolls. Then in the closing portion, every instrument pounds away at the same note for a a full minute. On my first listen, I turned back to my stereo speakers only to find them staring back at me blankly as if to say "No, I don't know either."
Alpine Static is Kinski's second record on Sub Pop and has enough bodyblows for noise-rock fans, enough dynamics for the indie-rock kids and enough 70's riffing for the guy in the moth-eaten Sabbath shirt. Whilst the aforementioned opener is a joy, the following two tracks stampede past with similar screeching psychedelia and furious rock posturing, so much so that they almost bleed into one another and become a rather dull extended jam. Where Kinski succeed however is pulling something exciting and inventive from post-rock's somewhat limited field of vision. The nine minute 'The Snowy Parts Of Scandinavia' sees slight, gently throbbing guitar notes emerge from glacial atmospherics only to be shot out of the air by chaotic noise and sporadic cymbal crashes before descending into a Sonic Youth charge littered with feedback screeches and assorted noise. It's a dense, freely structured journey with no constraints, unpredictable and less laboured than its more 'traditional' neighbours. The organic feel continues throughout - the fleeting raindrop notes that herald the beginning of 'Edge Set' and the clean, tranquil 'Waka Nusa'. 'Alpine Static' conforms to the unpredictable and freeform connotations of its name and ends up with a strikingly fresh sound despite its influences.
Instrumental post-rock relies upon atmosphere, passion and suggestion to create some sort of emotional purity, and while Kinski aren't greatly idiosyncratic, their mixture of psychedelia, noise and indie-rock dynamics still remains a surprising listen. While there's a noticeable over-reliance on antiquated classic rock bravado, there's plenty of space to explore here to keep the most discerning noise-rock fan interested.

Ten "Best Presentation" awards were issued to graduate students and postdoctoral fellows who presented outstanding short talks and posters. Find out more about the winners below. We look forward to continuing to support student research in 2012 and to seeing more great work from each of these awardees. For the 2012 Special Symposia Series calendar, visit www.asbmb.org/specialsymposia.
Graduate student in the department of molecular genetics, biochemistry and microbiology, University of Cincinnati College of Medicine; B.S. in zoology and minors in math and molecular biology, Miami University in Ohio Q: What is your primary area of research? My primary area of research is focused on the study of hypertension and cardiovascular disease in animal models, which will provide a comprehensive approach to study human cardiovascular diseases in a manner most likely to translate into therapeutic treatment for human patients. Q: What led you to this kind of research? With the high prevalence of cardiovascular disease in the United States, I became interested in the study and treatment of cardiovascular diseases early in my undergraduate career. Q: Who has been an important role model or mentor and why? A: My mother has been and remains an important role model in my life. She has always encouraged me to reach for the stars and to pursue all my dreams. Q: What is your career goal? My long-term career goal is to establish an independent research laboratory focused on hypertension and cardiovascular disease.
Ph.D. student at the University of Konstanz in Germany; bachelor's in chemistry and master's in chemistry of biological molecules, University of Florence in Italy Q: What is your primary area of research? Membrane biophysics Q: What led you to this kind of research? During my studies, I have been particularly fascinated by membrane proteins because of their linking role between the outside and inside the cell. My research gives me the opportunity to deal with questions related to many different scientific fields at the edge between biology, physics and chemistry. Q: Who has been an important role model or mentor and why? One of my role models is Rita Levi-Montalcini, the only Italian woman to ever win the Nobel prize in physiology and medicine. She is a great example of how passion and dedication can lead to incredible discoveries and an even more incredible life. Q: What is your career goal? My career goal is to become an expert in membrane transporters and be a reference point for the research community in this area.
Postdoc in Poul Nissen's laboratory at Aarhus University in Denmark; M.Sc. in bioengineering from Chalmers University of Technology in Gothenburg, Sweden, and Ph.D. in structural biochemistry from Richard Neutze's group at Chalmers University of Technology in Gothenburg, Sweden Q. What is your primary area of research? Structure-function studies of membrane proteins.I am currently focusing on different P-type ATPases. Q. What led you to this kind of research? Structures are required for understanding the function of proteins, and they can also help in applied science, for instance for drug design. In addition, we know relatively little about the mechanisms of membrane proteins. Q. Who has been an important role model or mentor and why? Notably, I have had two amazing supervisors since I started my Ph.D.: Richard Neutze (during my Ph.D.) and my current supervisor, Poul Nissen. They have both been highly inspiring and great sources of new ideas and solutions to problems. Q. What is your career goal? Elucidating new membrane protein structures and the molecular basis for their function.
Postdoc in the department of biomedicine at Aarhus University in Denmark; master's in molecular biology and Ph.D. in medicine from Aarhus University Q. What is your primary area of research? Structure-function analysis of Na+,K+-ATPase with focus on the study of mutations associated with neurological disease. Q. What led you to this kind of research? My interest in protein research as such evolved during my M.Sc. studies at Aarhus University. At the end of my M.Sc. studies, I was introduced to the field of the Na+,K+-ATPase. At that time, this vital enzyme had just been identified to play a role in the development of two neurological diseases: rapid-onset dystonia parkinsonism and familial hemiplegic migraine. In order to obtain clues to understanding any existing relation between Na+,K+-ATPase functionality and pathophysiological mechanism, my Ph.D. project was designed, dealing with a functional characterization of selected disease-causing mutations. Q. Who has been an important role model or mentor and why? Several people that I have come across during my studies at Aarhus University have inspired and motivated me by their enthusiasm for their work. The scientific experience of my Ph.D. supervisor, as well as her interest and engagement in my work, has certainly played a significant role during my Ph.D. studies. Q. What is your career goal? I finished my Ph.D. studies in April 2011 and for now I enjoy my work as a postdoc. I very much hope to be able to continue doing research.
Postdoc in the department of biomedicine at Aarhus University in Denmark; master's in molecular biology from Aarhus University and Ph.D. in medicine from Aarhus University Q. What is your primary area of research? Structure and function of Na+,K+-ATPase. Molecular mechanisms underlying the development of neurological diseases involving Na+,K+-ATPase. Q. What led you to this kind of research? My general interest in proteins developed during my master of science in molecular biology, where I became fascinated by the structure-function interplay of biological molecules in the cell. My particular interest in ion pumps is a direct result of my Ph.D. studies, where I studied a subgroup of ion pumps – the so-called "P-type ATPases." I think it is very interesting how P-type ATPases (e.g., Na+,K+-ATPase) use conformational changes fueled by ATP to promote the transport of ions across the membrane. More recently, my interest in the ion transport mechanism of these pumps has been reinforced by the implication of Na+,K+-ATPase in neurological diseases. Q. Who has been an important role model or mentor and why? My chemistry teacher in high school has been a great inspiration to me. His enthusiastic and motivating way of teaching chemistry has played an important role in my educational choice. Later in my career, another important source of inspiration has come from my Ph.D. supervisors who showed an enormous interest in my work and created a scientific environment that constituted a huge source of both encouragement and inspiration. Q. What is your career goal? My career goals are to continue research within the molecular and biomedical research field and teach students, in order to inspire them to pursue a career as a scientific researcher.
Ph.D. candidate in biochemistry at the University of Alberta in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada; bachelor's with a specialization in biochemistry from the University of Alberta Q. What is your primary area of research? My primary area of research is studying the disease-causing mechanisms of hereditary mutations in phospholamban, a regulator of SERCA in the heart. Q. What led you to this kind of research? I initially became interested in membrane protein biochemistry in my final years of my undergraduate program. I was drawn to Dr. Howard Young's lab because of their interest in calcium dysregulation in heart failure and its clinical applications. Q. Who has been an important role model or mentor and why? I have been fortunate to have several important role models during my graduate career. I have been lucky to have inspiring teachers and excellent research supervision at the University of Alberta. Also, I have had the privilege of meeting many leaders in the fields of membrane biochemistry, P-type ATPases and molecular cardiology at the variety of international conferences that I have attended. Q. What is your career goal?
After defending my thesis this spring, I hope to gain international experience with a postdoctoral fellowship. Following that, I would like to pursue research opportunities either in academia or industry.
Ph.D. candidate at the Institute of Neurobiology at the University of Puerto Rico; bachelor's in biology from the University of Puerto Rico Q. What is your primary area of research? My primary area of research is molecular neurophysiology. During my graduate studies, I have employed molecular biological and electrophysiological techniques to perform a structure-function analysis aimed to understand the adaptation of membrane proteins to cold temperatures. Q. What led you to this kind of research? I have always been fascinated on how the nervous system controls the human body, from basic functions such as breathing to complicated behaviors such as learning. A better understanding of how the nervous system works at the molecular level prompted me into this intriguing area of research. Q. Who has been an important role model or mentor and why? My adviser, Dr. Joshua Rosenthal, has been an important mentor in my young career. Throughout my Ph.D. studies, he has provided extensive guidance and has driven me to become better at what I do. However, my role model, who inspired me to pursue a research career, is Dr. Albert Einstein. Why? Simply stated… the greatest mind of all time! Q. What is your career goal? My career goal is to become an independent and successful bioengineer. I believe that Mother Nature does it best, so by learning from nature we can bioengineer a better world.

Benjamin Netanyahu is so eager to see Mitt Romney elected president that he's making a fool of himself.
For the last couple of weeks, the Israeli prime minister has been the featured player in a Republican-sponsored TV ad playing in Florida. It shows excerpts from Netanyahu's United Nations speech last month in which he tacitly attacks President Obama for his failure to set a clear red line for Iran's nuclear program.
"The world tells Israel: 'Wait, there's still time,'" he says. "And I say, wait for what? Wait until when?"
No, Netanyahu didn't plan or buy the campaign ad. Secure America Now, a group run by longtime Republican strategists, put it up. But Florida is filled with Israeli emigres and American Jews. There's no question that Netanyahu knows all about the ad and has made no effort to criticize or blunt it. An anonymous Israeli official did tell the news media that the prime minister's office had nothing to do with the ad and did not approve of it. That's all.
On Tuesday, Netanyahu called for early elections to take place early next year. How would he like it if an opponent began airing TV ads that showed Obama openly criticizing him? And then, when asked about it, an anonymous White House aide managed to say something banal, like: "Oh, we didn't authorize that."
If Netanyahu has no interest in taking sides in the American presidential election, then he should issue a strong statement or hold a press conference to declare that he does not support the use of his U.N. remarks in a partisan campaign ad.
But he didn't say a word. Not one. And the reason is clear: He does not like Obama, and Obama doesn't like him. Remember the Group of 20 summit in France late last year, when Obama was overheard chatting with Nicolas Sarkozy, the French president? Neither knew the mike was open.
"Netanyahu, I can't stand him," Sarkozy leaned over and told Obama. "He's a liar."
Obama responded, "You are sick of him, but I have to work with him every day."
But Israeli leaders seldom if ever benefit politically by picking a fight with America, the state's only true ally and benefactor. Already, Israeli Defense Minister Ehud Barak, a former Labor Party prime minister, is turning away from Netanyahu after years of near-slavish loyalty ― all because of his rift with Washington, Barak says.
The Israeli news media quoted Netanyahu asserting that Barak is deliberately trying to exacerbate tensions with Washington for his own benefit. In response, Barak's office argued that he's only working "to strengthen relations with the United States and at their heart, the security relationship."
Before the Israeli Knesset last month, Shaul Mofaz, leader of the centrist Kadima party loudly complained: "Israeli meddling in internal U.S. affairs and turning the U.S. administration from an ally to an enemy has caused us severe damage."
The way most Israeli politicians see it, however, they're almost always better off with a Republican in the White House. That seems especially true for Netanyahu, who was Mitt Romney's friend and colleague decades ago. Romney has said that if elected, he will turn to Netanyahu for Middle East advice ― a dangerous move, in my view.
Israeli politicians generally see Republican presidents as more friendly and loyal. The exception was George H.W. Bush and his secretary of state, James Baker. They got into a heated argument with Prime Minister Yitzhak Shamir about West Bank settlements ― the very issue that first began to sour Obama's relationship with Netanyahu in 2009.
But since the Bush-Baker days in the early 1990s, evangelical Christians, millions of them, have become a powerful force in American politics. They are unwavering supporters of Israel, no matter what. Talk to them, as I have, and they sound as right wing as Israeli settlers.
President George W. Bush certainly had them in mind when he carried himself as Israel's best friend during his eight years in office. And Netanyahu is certainly aware of them now. Thousands of evangelicals demonstrated in Jerusalem last week.
But other Israelis worry. Bradley Burston, a columnist for Haaretz, a liberal Israeli paper, published a column last month with the headline: "Netanyahu must set red lines on his malice for Obama. And soon."
Netanyahu's antagonistic remarks, he added, "play directly into the hands of Iran." And in fact, a few days later, Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad criticized Netanyahu, not surprisingly, and quipped: "The U.S. elections are a domestic issue. We will not meddle in that at all."

Bush's 4th of July speech
Odd that President Bush would want to equate the American Revolution to the Iraq war. After all, American colonists were the insurgents in that revolution and were never defeated by the British Empire, the world's greatest power at the time. In fact, while several of our generals speak of an average of ten to twenty years to defeat insurgencies, one wonders what insurgencies they are talking about. The modern era has seen the end of all the great colonial empires, with European occupiers successfully driven from territories throughout Africa and Asia by insurgencies that have out-lasted occupiers, not the other way around. The loose ends left in the wake of these dead empires account for much of the world's ongoing conflict but there certainly haven't been many ten or twenty year resolutions.
While Bush's analogy is almost completely meaningless, so little does the situation in Iraq correspond to the American Revolution, his role in such an analogy would have to be closer to that of King George III, also known as Mad King George, than it is to any of our own revolutionary founders. As to the promise of success if we are only patient and steadfast, in the past hundred years this has rarely proved to be the case. All the insurgents have to do is keep up the pressure until the occupiers find the price of staying too high and the benefits too low. Most Americans believe that is exactly where we are now.

Stanley Bate (1903 - 1972) is a nationally recognized painter known for his modern, abstract art. Born in Tennessee, he received his art education at Watkins Institute, Nashville, the Art Students League, New York, as well as in France and Switzerland. He and his wife lived in Claverack, New York from the late 1940's until his death.
Bate has stated: "Art is not an object, but an experience. To be able to perceive it, we need to be receptive… (As to) the metaphysical quality---I would rather have it convey itself to the viewer. My paintings have no predetermined plan. They are usually worked out on the canvas. Their source may be subconscious, intuitive, unknown. I try to complete a painting in the shortest period of time in order to preserve the initial impulse. Whether my very personal feeling is communicated to the viewer, I don't really care, nor do I think it makes any difference. It makes me paint, and I am gratified if someone finds some joy in my paintings."
Bate's work was widely exhibited throughout the 1950s and 1960s in group and solo shows. Even after his death, his works continued to be exhibited. Some of his one-man shows include the Albany Institute of History & Art, Cooperstown Art Association, University of Florida, Galerie Mouffe, Paris, State University of New York, and Winter Park Art Association, Florida. Group shows include the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, Museum of Modern Art, New York, Corcoran Gallery of Art , Washington, DC., Musée d'Art Moderne, Paris, Whitney Museum, New York and the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts, Philadelphia, PA.
Bate received many awards in both national and local competitions. His works can be found in the following collections: Aldrich Collection, Nelson Rockefeller Collection, Library of Congress, Carnegie Institute, Albany Institute of History & Art, Berkshire Museum and Munson-Williams-Proctor Institute.

History is full of evil dictators, and while the had their share of bad qualities, it's undeniable they were efficient at getting things done. Here's what we can learn from them, despite their evil nature. Illustration by Dominick Rabrun
Dictators manipulate people when their willpower is weak, they get rid of close friends, and they give rousing speeches that can convince people to do just about anything. Here's six things, both good and evil, we can learn from the ways dictators have handled situations.
Force Difficult Decisions on People When Their Willpower is Weak
Photo by Garry Knight.
As we've talked about before, working when you're tired and when you're suffering from decision fatigue leads to poor decision making. A good dictator knows exactly how to exploit this.
Cuban dictator Fidel Castro loved 4am meetings where he'd often get people out of bed so he could put them at a distinct disadvantage. Russian dictator Joseph Stalin would also use this tactic, even meeting Winston Churchill late at night to draw up plans to attack Germany.
How you can use this: In both of these cases, the idea is to catch your enemies (or allies) when their willpower is low and they're willing to do anything to work with you. On the flipside of this, it's a reminder that decision fatigue is real and easily exploitable by anyone for a variety of means — so whenever possible, avoid those 4am meetings with your boss (or give yourself enough time to wake up beforehand).
Create a "Five-Year Plan" for Personal Goals
Photo by Pascal.
Popularised by Joseph Stalin, the Five-Year Plan was an economic plan that sought to bring about a specific end goal like industrialisation, lower unemployment, and general readiness for possible problems. On top of being embraced in Soviet Russia, the idea of a Five-Year Plan was used in The People's Republic of China, Cuba, Pakistan, Vietnam, and others.
How you can use this: While your five-year plan will likely be less ambitious than most dictator's, the idea itself is still a solid one. In fact, we've talked about making a five-year financial plan before, and "where do you see yourself in five years?" is a popular interview question you should have a response to.
To figure out what you want, and how to work towards those goals, financial blog The Simple Dollar recommends you create a Five-Year Sketch:
Here are some elements to think about when making this sketch:
What will your job be like?
What will your family be like?
What will your physical appearance be like?
What will your home be like?
What will a typical day be like?
What will you be looking forward to?
What will your social circle look like?
I encourage you to try to write down at least ten traits for each of these questions that describe the way you'd like your life to be in five years.
Planning ahead five years is a great way to figure out what you want, and how you want to get it. We've shown you how to prioritise those goals with a hierarchy, how to fight back when your brain stops you from achieving goals, and even how working towards your goals in public can help.
Purge Threats to Your Power
Photo by Cory Doctorow.
In order to hold onto power, a dictator often needs to get rid of threats. This means purging your closest friends and advisors when they get too close to you or you feel like they want your power. The threat alone makes those outside the circle vie for power and attention, while the inner circle is stuck sucking up to you.
Nearly every dictator uses this tactic to some extent, but Fidel Castro and Peru's Alberto Fujimoro were especially good at it. As Steven Levitsky points out in the Journal of Democracy, Fujimori is most famous for his self-coup in 1992 where he closed Congress, suspended the constitution and got rid of the judiciary so that he could take control.
In their book The Dictator's Handbook: Why Bad Behaviour is Almost Always Good Politics, authors Bruce Bueno de Mesquita and Alastair Smith outline this idea as "Rule 1: Keep your winning coalition as small as possible."
Fidel Castro was legendary at this. After the revolution in Cuba was a success, 12 of his 20 ministers had resigned (or were ousted). This included Castro's fellow revolutionary Che Guevara. Castro sent Guevera to Bolivia for a mission in 1967, then cut his funding and left him stranded there because Castro saw Guevera as a threat.
How you can use this: If someone is challenging your authority, the easiest way to deal with it is to get rid of the person in question. Be careful and keep an eye out for anyone gunning for your position. On the flipside, if you're looking to move up in the ranks, you'll either want to be extra nice to the person who's job you're gunning for, so they don't feel threatened. Alternatively, you could try to get rid of them before they get rid of you, but that's much riskier (and not as nice).
Embrace Your "Cult of Personality"
The cult of personality is a well-known dictator trick. The idea is to present yourself as the most amazing thing possible. To do this, dictators would pick up ridiculous habits, plaster their photos all over the country, or even give themselves nicknames.
The most prominent (and possibly over-the-top) example of was North Korea's Kim Jong-il, aka, the Supreme Leader of North Korea. Jong-il's cult of personality rose to the point where, according to author's Chol-hwan Kang and Pierre Rigoulot in the their book, The Aquariums of Pyongyang: Ten Years in the North Korean Gulag, people actually believed that Jong-il could control the weather with his outfits.
This is common practice amongst dictators. Romanian communist dictator Nicolae Ceaușescu gave himself the title, "The Genius of the Carpathians," Italy's Benito Mussollini made himself look taller by only allowing pictures from certain angles, Libya's Muammar Gaddafi only employed female bodyguards known as the "Amazonian Guard", and Cambodia's Pol Pot rarely allowed pictures of himself at all.
How you can use this: Your own cult of personality isn't likely to get as extensive as a dictator's, but the idea that you can embrace and control it is important for things like job searches. As we've mentioned before, shameless self-promotion during interviews isn't a bad thing. More important is establishing and maintaining your online identity, which is essentially the non-dictator version of the "cult of personality." If you control what others see, you can control their perception of you, and come off looking a lot better than you are in real life.
Give Direct, Powerful Speeches
Photo by Liton All.
By a lot of accounts, Germany's Adolf Hitler was one of the best public speakers in dictator history. At least part of that was due to his timing. Before Hitler started to take power, public speaking was often an intellectual thing, filled with complex, lecture-like readings. Hitler's performance, in contrast, was excited, emotive, and filled with slogans. In Richard J Evan's The Coming of the Third Reich, he describes Hitler's public speaking like so:
[Hitler] gained much of his oratorical success by telling his audiences what they wanted to hear. He used simple, straightforward language that ordinary people could understand, short sentences, powerful, emotive slogans. Often beginning a speech quietly, to capture his audience's attention, he would gradually build to a climax, his deep, rather hoarse voice would rise in pitch, climbing in a crescendo to a ranting and screaming finale, accompanied by carefully rehearsed dramatic gestures...as he worked his audience into a frenzy emotion. There were no qualifications in what he said; everything was absolute, uncompromising, irrevocable, undeviating, unalterable, final...he exuded self-confidence, aggression, belief in the ultimate triumph of his party, even a sense of destiny.
Of course, Hitler's speeches were all about rhetoric and absolution. While the content itself was horrible, he was undeniably good at getting people to agree with him — even when he was openly calling them stupid. Bruce Loebs, from the Department of Communication and Rhetorical Studies at Idaho State University points out that Hitler used a few tricks to get people on his side. These included arguments that used passion over reason, black and white reasoning as propaganda, and of course, repetition.
How you can use this: In some ways, Hitler's speeches were similar to what we talked about when we showed you how to plant ideas into someone's mind, but Hitler was far more over the top. Still, a lot can be learned from his speech style. Hitler was an obsessive editor of his speeches, and he consistently delivered them in plain language that everyone could understand. Keep this in mind when giving a presentation at work, raising office morale after a bad day, or even presenting an argument to a friend. Simplify your speech (as opposed to trying to sound smart), put some emotion into it, build up slowly, and you'll have your audience eating out your hands.
Learn From Experiences, Not Books
Photo by @sculp_official.
The strongest and longest lasting dictators embraced the idea of "practice makes perfect", and put themselves on the front lines at some point in order to gain experience. Julius Caesar, for instance, fought on the front lines with soldiers, slept in the same beds, and learned from them before coming up with the quote, "Experience is the teacher of all things."
Napoleon Bonaparte, of course, did the same thing as he worked his way through the French Revolution (before eventually installing himself as a dictator). Vladimir Lenin was extremely well read, but still spent his time practicing his craft, writing pamphlets, and talking with his people. Mao took this a step further and used his peasant upbringing not just as an excuse not to shower, but also as fuel for his control over peasents.
How you can use this: The point is that experience is far more necessary to get a job done well than a bunch of reading material. New experiences are important, and with deliberate practice you'll eventually be the best you can be.
As we know, practical experience is often better than grades or books in the job market. Internships are more valuable than grades, because when you have experience — but no direct qualifications, you're a better candidate for the job. Heck, even when we hire here at Lifehacker, having a personal blog of writing samples is far more useful than previous, irrelevant job experience. If you don't have those types of experiences, make the experience yourself.
Lifehacker's Evil Week highlights the dark side of life hacking. How you use that knowledge is up to you.

There's a bridge, not far from the town of sunset, where the trees cover the wooden structure. There, at night or in the afternoon, you will see a woman in white who haunts the bridge. Many people who have passed by have seen her, some a bit more descriptive, others not too clear. they say she floats on the bridge, and if you get close enough, you can see she has no face, just a skull, and she has no feet. Others say her face is like a smear. Either way, she's there..

I've heard this legend in Hawai'i. A beautiful wahine in a long white mu'umu'u hitch-hikes on the H3. If a motorist fails to pick her up, the car acts all funnny (I heard of 3 vehicles falling into the valley for this trespess). The woman mysteriously disappears after two or three miles.

U.S. Equal Employment
Opportunity Commission
EEOC Said Retailer Created Hostile Environment for Female and Hispanic Workers
BALTIMORE – Blockbuster, Inc. has entered into a consent judgment requiring it to pay over $2 million to settle an employment discrimination lawsuit filed by the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC), the agency announced today. The EEOC had charged the Dallas-based global entertainment retailer with subjecting female temporary employees to sexual harassment, retaliating against them for resisting sexual advances and complaining, and subjecting Hispanic temporary employees to national origin and race harassment and other discrimination. The litigation concerned events that occurred in 2004 and 2005 at a distribution center in Gaithersburg, Md.
In its suit filed in U.S. District Court for the District of Maryland (EEOC v. Blockbuster Inc., Case No. RWT-07-CV-2612), the EEOC charged that the male supervisory staff engaged in and condoned the harassment of a class of seven female employees, four of whom are Hispanic. The EEOC charged that the incidents of harassment committed by Blockbuster supervisors included repeated requests for sexual favors; yelling; insults; threats; unwelcome sex-related questioning; offense racial remarks; touching women's intimate body areas; and other discriminatory conduct. This pervasive and unlawful conduct culminated in the denial of work hours, discriminatory firings, forced resignations and other discriminatory actions, according to the EEOC.
Such alleged conduct violates Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964. The EEOC filed suit after first attempting to reach a pre-litigation settlement through its conciliation process.
Blockbuster filed a bankruptcy petition during the pendency of this case, which remains pending in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court, and it has discontinued its former business operations.
"This case should act as a warning to all employers who use staffing agency personnel," said EEOC Philadelphia Regional Attorney Debra M. Lawrence, whose jurisdiction includes Maryland. "Employers who are customers of staffing agencies have a responsibility to protect their temporary workers from unlawful discrimination. Too frequently, such employers fail to create systems to prevent and detect abuse of temporary workers and fail to respond forcefully to it. Those employers do so at their peril."
The EEOC enforces federal laws prohibiting employment discrimination. Further information about the EEOC is available on its web site at www.eeoc.gov.

Miracle in CHILE – Rescue of 36 Miners Trapped for 69 Days
In India and even in East and South East Asia, development and happenings in Chili are almost always ignored. But the safe rescue of 36 Chilean miners after 69 days got world wide publicity and media coverage, as never before. 69 miners were trapped on August 5 when a cave fell closing all possibility of their safe exit. Chilean government realizing the gravity of the problem got into action after due consideration of their safety and safe rescue. So on August 19, after some drilling, the drill reached the site where miners were trapped and after a few days their first video images were also got. Then food water and medicines were lowered by the supply staff. This news was heartening for the impatient and some crying relatives. Then as fast as possible, technically and physically, on Sept 17 drill reached close to the miners and steps were taken to widen the Hole. Rescue workers complete the drilling and prepare an escape shaft for the trapped miners. The escape shaft was about 820 meters long which naturally required many days and lot of care so that there was no damage near the escape passage for the trapped miners. It still took four days more when on 13th October the first miner was brought out quite safe and without any injury or harm. That is really a miracle which has happened for the first time.
Contrast it with India where often a child falls in an uncovered hole and many times his dead body is brought out inspite of military help and the relatives start crying. The blame game goes on for a week or so but again in a week or a month another such tragedy occurs. Imagine if in India or any Asian country or even a European country so many miners are trapped for 30 days, even, what to speak of 69 days! There seems to be no possibility of their rescue, as the conditions are particularly in a country like India, the greatest democracy in the world. Even in China many times Chinese miners get trapped and quite often the government of China is unable to rescue them.
We should learn from Chili. If the government considers that in India there should be no tragedies even of death in uncovered manholes and in coal mines and other mines which are many and spread over many states, a team of experts may be sent to Chili to get the full report and learn the technique and the equipment required to rescue trapped persons in mines or manholes. It seems necessary so that there are no minor or major tragedies in India.

The Texas Comprehensive Epilepsy Program at the Mischer Neuroscience Institute is the leading program in the southwestern United States for the diagnosis and treatment of epilepsy in patients of all ages.
We draw upon the combined expertise of board-certified neurologists and neurosurgeons with subspecialty training and experience in treating patients with seizures and epilepsy.
Our mission is to help epilepsy patients gain control of their seizures and regain their desired quality of life by applying the most comprehensive diagnostic and treatment methods available.
If you would like to speak to a neurologist or neurosurgeon about epilepsy, please click below and use the online tool to help us contact you.
Epilepsy is not the same in everyone. Some of the reasons patients develop epilepsy still defy medical explanation, but the onset of epilepsy may be associated with a number of known causes.
Genetics, brain trauma, structural abnormalities, stroke and brain tumor rank among the top underlying causes. Determining why a patient may have developed the condition is crucial to planning the most effective treatment.
At the heart of our program is a state-of-the-art Epilepsy Monitoring Unit (EMU) - the largest and most comprehensive unit of its kind in the region. Patients are referred to the EMU for one of three reasons:
Patients typically are admitted on an inpatient basis and stay with us for an average of five to seven days - sometimes longer for those with medically uncontrolled seizures or patients undergoing evaluation for surgical treatment. During their stay, patients are monitored 24/7 for even the smallest sign of seizure activity. As one of the only inpatient units in the country with a comprehensive set of diagnostic technologies, we constantly gather and record data to help define and locate seizure activity within the brain.
Physicians at Mischer Neuroscience Institute use the most advanced diagnostic technology, such as stereoelectroencephalography (SEEG) and robotic SEEG. This remarkable tool allows for simultaneous exploration of electrical activity on the surface of the brain and deep within it--all while a patient is experiencing a seizure. Thin electrodes are inserted via tiny holes in a minimally invasive procedure, and the patient is monitored for up to four weeks. The SEEG enables physicians to precisely locate the area of epileptic focus while identifying functional areas of the brain.
The Mischer Neuroscience Institute is a national leader in combining the use of MEG and functional MRI to fully map the brain and brain activity. Each year, MNI performs more than 150 completely noninvasive, pain-free MEG procedures on pediatric and adult patients, without the need for anesthetic or exposure to hazardous materials. And with shortened measurement preparation and collection times, a path of treatment may be determined as quickly and safely as possible - ensuring our patients get the treatment they need, when they need it.
Our full suite of diagnostic tools for epilepsy includes:
The WADA test is performed on patients being considered for surgery. It is used to identify the language and memory functions of the left and right brain.
Neuropsychological testing is used to determine if seizures have changed areas of brain function such as memory, language, math skills or personality.
If you would like to speak to a neurologist or neurosurgeon about pineal cysts, please click below and use the online tool to help us contact you.

With a wingspan up to four inches, Luna moths are one of the largest in North America
Like springtime, Luna moths represent rebirth and renewal.
I usually see one or two early each spring, hanging around hubby's bug zapper. Perhaps they're drawn to the light's blue glow. The zapper poses no threat to the Luna moths, which are too large to fit through the miniature cage.
I thought they were eating the insects collected inside the zapper. I was wrong. Luna moths have no mouth, a trait they share with silkworm moths. They live only about a week, just long enough to mate and lay their eggs.
Rarely seen, these nocturnal moths fly by the light of the moon.
When you do see one, you'll know it. They are one of the largest moths in North America, with a wingspan that can reach four and one-half inches. Their color is a translucent lime-green, and long, trailing, hind wings are marked with eyespots, which confuse predators.
Luna moths live in forests in the eastern U.S. and southern Canada, where they prefer deciduous woodlands of hickory, persimmon, sumac, sweet gum and walnut.
The woods around my home must suit them.
So far this year, I've seen two sets of mixed-sex trios clinging to the window screen. I can tell the difference between the sexes by the males' larger and bushier antennae.
Once four visited. But a bird flew to the window screen to pluck one off. Both bird and moth made a few loops around my backyard before vanishing into the woods. I don't know how the story ends, but I don't think it had a happy ending for the Luna moth.
The luna moth story is lovely, as are they!

Sometimes all it takes to reach a deal is a little nudge.
The Steelers announced today that they had re-signed restricted free agent nose tackle Steve McLendon to a three-year deal.
That's a day after McLendon visited with the Packers, who could use some help up front themselves.
The interest in McLendon made sense, because even if the Packers signed him away, they'd have owed the Steelers no compensation, since Pittsburgh tendered him at the lowest level ($1.3 million) and he was undrafted.
As the Steelers defense continues to age, McLendon's now in a spot to take on a bigger role.

**Update 07.13.2010**
Jan is the son of Stanislaw Mierzejewski and Anna Keijewska, and is a brother to my grandmother, Helena Mierzejewski. Jan is not a brother to Walter Mierzejewski. Rather, he is a brother-in-law to Walter.
The rest of this post continues unedited, as it was when originally published.
When researching the Mierzejewski family in Toledo, I discovered Jan. For sake of convenience here, I am assuming that Jan is a brother to Wladyslaw (Walter, Sr.). However, it could be he belongs to another branch of the family. (I've had confirmation since first writing this post about Jan that my grandmother, Helena, was also a Mierzejewska.)
It was through this address: 1763 Buckingham, Toledo, Ohio that I discovered both John and another relative, Konstanty. Additionally, John (Jan) was the person named on the 1923 Ellis Island manifest that shows my grandfather, Walter, bringing his wife and family to Toledo.
Here is a screen snap of this branch of the family tree.
Per John's death certificate, he was born June 18, 1893 in Poland. His death certificate indicates that his parents are unknown; however, it is likely that his wife may not have known their names or could not remember their names.
John was married to Theophila (Thelma) Klimkiewicz.
John's address on Buckingham is the same address as the one on my father's birth certificate in 1924. However, John — like Walter — seems to have traveled between Poland and the US several times before settling in the Toledo, Ohio area.
According to the 1920 census (the first census I located that enumerated John and his family), there is an indication that John had lived in Pennsylvania prior to coming to Ohio. According to the 1920 census, John and Theophila's first child, Helen, was born in Pennsylvania about 1913. Also per the 1920 census, John arrived in the US in 1906 — he would have been about 13 years of age. I cannot find any manifests yet that indicate his arrival in 1906. Would a 13 year old boy travel trans-Atlantic by himself?
However, I did find a manifest for the SS Finland, sailing from Antwerp to New York with an arrival date of June 18, 1913 — John's 20th birthday. His age is provided as 19 and I assume that was the age given upon boarding ship. It's not clearly indicated whether he is married or single on this manifest; however, while the copy is somewhat illegible, it seems to state that he came from Tomsze, Poland. He was traveling alone, so I would assume he was returning from Poland to the US for the birth of his first child.
John and Theophila moved to Ohio sometime around or prior to 1916 as their second child, Frances, was born in Toledo, Ohio on July 11, 1916.
John served in the US Army during World War I, enlisting on September 18, 1917 and was honorably discharged September 25, 1919. Below is the transcription of the Ohio Soldiers, Sailors, and Marines, World War, 1917-1918:
Co B 322 Machine Gun Battalion to 19 Dec 1917; Co D 308 Ammunition Train to 12 June 1918; Battery C 5 Field Artillery to Discharge Corporal 26 Feb 1918; Private 9 Sept 1918. St Mihiel; Meuse-Argonne; Defensive Sector. American Expeditionary Forces 7 July
Per the 1920 census, John and Theophila were living at 1063 Hamilton Street. However, I do know they had moved to 1763 Buckingham by 1922 as I had stumbled on a death record for their son, John, while trying to locate one of my mother's relatives! By 1922, John and Theophila had four children:
Helen, born in 1913 in Pennsylvania; Francis, born in 1916 in Toledo, Ohio (link takes you to her baptismal record from St. Anthony's parish); Lillian, born in 1918 in Toledo, Ohio (link takes you to her baptismal record from St. Stanislaus parish) and John (Jr), born in 1921 in Toledo, Ohio.
John (Jr) died at the age of a year on September 12, 1922. His interment record for Calvary Cemetery shows the Buckingham address. The transcription for John Mierzejewski (Jr) for the Calvary Cemetery record is below:
Page 25, right side, line 30.
John Mierzejewski, 1763 Buckingham. Age: 1 year. Cause of death: broncho pneumonia. Date of interment: 9/13. Grave 2319, Lot 19, Section 30.
The 1930 census reflects the Buckingham address for John and Theophila and their family. By 1930, the family had grown to include three more children: Milton (born 1923), Virginia (born 1927), and Leonard (born 1929). The 1930 census indicates that John had become a naturalized citizen; however, I have not yet located his naturalization records.
John passed away on December 30, 1945 at the age of 52. His address at his death was 1233 Hamilton Avenue. His burial is recorded through St. Anthony's parish record of interments and through Calvary Cemetery's interment records.
Transcription of the St. Anthony interment record:
Record 13:
Date of death: December 30, 1945. Date of burial: January 2, 1946. Mierzejewski, John. Place of birth: Poland. Age 52.
Transcription of the Calvary Cemetery burial record:
Right-hand page, record #32:
Name: John M. Mierzejewski, Residence: Toledo, Age: 52, Cause of death: Broncho Pneumonia, Date of interment: Jan 2, 1946. Grave 268, Range or Lot: 15, Section 41. Undertaker: Sujkowski & Son

Have you noticed that almost all the candidates for local offices uniformly promise that they will create jobs for the local community?
Has anyone ever stopped to realize that the result of following this mantra of more jobs would be more people moving to Chico with the result that there will be population increases, more urban growth, the need for more schools, traffic congestion and all the other problems of urban growth.
Such urban growth may benefit a few people. However, for most of us it will result in negative outcomes. Think about it.

1949 Chevrolet Wagon - Metal Woodie
Kevin Leewriter
Another one that caught my eye at the La Verne Cool Cruise was Nick Barron's '49 Chevy wagon. With that bright red paint and stance it would be hard to walk by and not notice it. The paint and woodgraining was flawless as was the tan leather interior. The LS-series EFI engine looked clean and ready to run. All-in-all it looks like it would be the perfect family cruiser for those long road trips and family outings.

Eve Hewson, daughter of U2 frontman Paul Hewson (you know him as Bono), has signed on to play a part that shoild come easily enough to her.
"This Must Be the Place" will star Sean Penn as a middle-aged rock star "who becomes fixated on pursuing the Nazi criminal who tormented his father in a concentration camp," reported Variety. Hewson would play a young music fan who befriends the aging rocker, a role that should come easily enough to Bono's daughter.
Hewson's only previous film experience was another indie film set against a rock n' roll backdrop, "The 27 Club," about a young rocker whose bandmate joins the long list of music legends -- Brian Jones, Jimi Hendrix, Janis Joplin, Jim Morrison and Kurt Cobain, among others -- who died at the age of 27.
We have no idea if the kid can act, but the cast also features Frances McDormand and Harry Dean Stanton, and it certainly sounds interesting enough.
"The Place" is being written and directed by Paolo Sorrentino, and is scheduled to start shooting later this month.

I know it sounds strange, but it seemed that Italy, in addition to having amazing food, gorgeous architecture, and stunningly beautiful people, had the coolest bras and panties I had ever seen. Besides learning Italian, taking cooking lessons, studying art and Renaissance history, and making new friends, I could not get enough of the bras. They were like rainbow candies and came in every color of the universe.
Yesterday, I went bra shopping at Kohl's. WOW! What a difference. In my plan to be "thrifty" (by going to a discount store) and clever (by finding an underwire bra without an actual underwire), I attempted my first visit to Kohl's in search of a new bra style. My, my — I won't be doing that again soon. I don't know if it's the economy, the store or the fact that my 89-year-old grandmother has sexier bras than the ones they were selling in the store that day, but I left in a state of misery.
I love my new breasts, but they don't fit into a bra quite the same way the old breasts did. I seem to be between sizes, and my breasts don't "squish" into a top the way real breasts do. Don't get me wrong, though, I marvel every day at the medical miracle that removed my breasts and returned them to an almost exact replica of their former shape and size.
For all of you about to write me and tell me I should be grateful to be alive, I am. More than you could ever know. But I do miss the days I spent walking along the Arno River in Firenze, popping into my favorite store to see what new colors the bras came in this week, and leaving with a sexy, matched pair of lingerie in a bra size that fits!

View the original agenda, including materials, for this meeting.
Presenter: Andrée Tremoulet, Commonworks Consulting
Summary: Andree Tremoulet (facilitator) welcomed the group and outlined the purpose of the meeting – 1) To discuss the City's process to prioritize infrastructure projects, and 2) To learn how two City bureaus approach this process (Parks and Transportation).
Process Update
Presenter: Michele Crim, Bureau of Planning and Sustainability
Summary: Michele Crim updated IE PEG members on the status of the finalized IE PEG Feedback Memo regarding Part 1: Goals and Policies. Staff responsible for individual chapters are using it to identify ideas and issues to incorporate into the next round of edits to Part 1, which is due out later this fall.
At this July meeting, the IE PEG will consider existing project selection criteria, and discuss how to incorporate equity considerations into those decision-making processes. In August, the IE PEG will be using the City's new mapping tool to explore where infrastructure projects have being proposed and to identify synergies, conflicts, and gaps related to infrastructure equity. In September or late October, there will be a large meeting of members of all the PEGs where IE PEG members will have the opportunity to discuss and explore ideas and issues with other PEGs.
Citywide Project Considerations
Presenter: Michelle Kunec-North, Bureau of Planning and Sustainability
Materials: Decision-making in infrastructure planning
Summary: Michelle Kunec-North presented an overview of the various budget planning and processes where infrastructure investment and project decisions are made. She reviewed decision-making processes related to the Citywide Systems Plan, long-range bureau plans, and the 5-year Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) and the annual budget process. Decision-making can happen at many points. Factors considered in decision-making include: levels of service and identified needs; regulatory or other mandatory compliance; public support, impact on health, safety, environment and economic risk; opportunity benefits; and effect on future costs. Michelle reviewed the general spatial and time scale that bureaus tend to focus their decision-making – which varies by infrastructure system.
Michelle explained how to view proposed bureau capital improvement plans (CIP), here: http://www.portlandoregon.gov/cbo/article/405657. This is part of the City ofPortland's FY 2013-14 adopted budget. For each project, there is a project description and project costs for the first five years. The capital plan's first year column is committed dollars. Years 2 through 5 of the capital plan do not carry a commitment. The document also identifies the project's objective, general area and overall project cost.
- Will there be standardized decision-making principles? Yes – we are headed in that direction – and the IE PEGs feedback on the Goals and Policies have helped inform that. Staff are continuing to work on incorporating guidance for implementation (e.g. decision-making approaches) related to equity, prosperity, health, etc. That being said, each bureau will continue to have a unique decision-making approach that works best for their systems and services.
- How will the IE PEG be able to continue to provide input on this? In August, the IE PEG will be reviewing the maps. Through the all-PEG meeting in September or October, IE PEG members will have an opportunity to continue discussing Part Two with other PEGs. Beyond that meeting, IE PEG members individually can provide feedback through the public workshops, directly with staff, and through other mechanisms designed to capture community ideas.
Transportation Health Equity
Presenter: Sara Schooley,Portland Bureau of Transportation
Materials: Transportation_Health_Equity (slide show)
Summary: Sarah Schooley presented an overview of the grant-funded work that the bureau completed regarding ways transportation can promote health equity. Several partners met for over a year to develop health equity definitions and criteria. PBOT developed policy recommendations for the Transportation Systems Plan, and health equity criteria to prioritize projects. Sara led the IE PEG through an exercise using the quantitative criteria and a series of maps. The criteria include factors related to community need and population served, active transportation, safety, exposure to air toxins and completion of the transportation network.
Highlights of the discussion included:
- While looking at this through the silo of health equity is useful, it is only part of what should be considered in making transportation investments.
- Prior to the development of this tool, in what ways were health equity factors considered in prioritizing investments? Some aspects of health equity were indirectly incorporated into the criteria, but other factors such as the requirements of funding sources and political will tended to play a larger role. Moving forward, the intent is to establish a framework for decision-making that evaluates a variety of factors that includes health equity among others (e.g., economic development impact, equity, risk).
- Can you apply these same criteria to projects of different scales and costs (e.g. compare a $250k project to a $57M project)? There is benefit to trying to develop more of an apples-to-apples comparison, where the scale of the impact is considered.
- Historical spending might be an interesting addition. However, sometimes historical funding may or may not have had a positive impact on a neighborhood. (e.g., Would an expensive new on-ramp benefit or harm a neighborhood? Who would benefit from it?). Also, looking at money spent might not capture reduction in risk – which can be more meaningful for some infrastructure services. Thus, considering where money is spent only tells part of the story and may not be a consistent indicator of neighborhood benefit.
- The health equity criteria also helps highlight opportunities to modify a proposed project in ways that would improve the score – thus making the project rank higher and resulting in meaningful improvements for health equity.
- Interest was expressed in exploring how these types of criteria could be used for all projects (freight, active transportation, etc.). Population served, versus the population impacted.
- Funding sources come with constraints. Who is the dominant stakeholder in those decisions?
- Community involvement is not currently reflected in the criteria but should be. One way to approach this would be to develop a rating scale based on a basic level of expected community involvement.
Parks Criteria
Presenters: Randy Webster and Sarah Huggins,PortlandParks and Recreation (PP&R)
Materials: PP&R_CIP_Criteria
Summary: Randy Webster and Sarah Huggins reviewed the capital project request criteria and rating system. Projects are generally added to the list in the following ways: 1) development of a master plan for a park (done in collaboration with the neighborhood); 2) system plans (e.g. skate park system plan, community gardens, dog off-leash area), 3) maintenance (replacement) projects identified as the conditions are assessed; 4) project proposal process where community members and propose projects – which often comes with help to raise funds to kick-start those projects (e.g. Harper's Playground); 5) code or other mandates (e.g. playgrounds that need ADA improvements).
PortlandParksand Recreation has a committee that rates project requests based on a set of criteria. Projects get added to the list, and funding options are identified and projects are added to the budget in the fall. The criteria consider legal requirements, public support, conformance with existing plans, improvement to level of service, health and safety, protection of assets or facilities, environmental quality, financing or business opportunity (e.g. grant), and effect on operating budget.
Two of the criteria relate directly to equity: human health and safety, and improvements to level of service. Funding for PP&R facilities are very limited in terms of what they can be spent on – so cost isn't directly factored into the criteria (beyond financing/business opportunity, effect on operating budget, etc.).
Some of the strengths of the criteria process include broad and deep community involvement in the master planning process. There is significant bureau involvement in identifying asset condition and maintenance need. The criteria have been used for several years, so it is easier to compare rankings from one year to the next.
The decision-making points within the bureaus are what we need to get to in order to address equity issues at the core. This is particularly true when we have constrained funding sources. Some of the funding sources (e.g. grants from federal agencies, etc.) are starting to ask equity questions that haven't been asked before. That may be a silver-lining for accessing those funds.
PP&R is moving toward incorporating equity into all of the criteria rather than creating a separate factor for equity. They think this will give them a richer perspective on making those choices.
Highlights of the discussion included the following:
- Is it possible to include a consideration of the population served (including demographic information) this into the PP&R criteria? Yes, PP&R is interested in building this into their decision-making in the future. When looking at master planning projects, they do use demographics and number of households served when identifying which parks to master plan first. PP&R considers gaps in their system.
- Are the same criteria used for regional trails? Yes, they use the same criteria for trails. However, constrained funding sources often dictate what can and can't be done.
- Are concerns about equity more likely to surface around operations and maintenance (e.g., picking up litter in the parks, maintaining operable drinking fountains.) rather than around capital projects? For PP&R, operational and maintenance issues are as much about equity as new projects.
To conclude the discussion, Michelle Kunec-North said that today's discussion focused at a bureau-specific, detailed level. However, the CSP itself will deal with these issues at a more general level. She said that the City will be looking for feedback in the coming months on how project considerations can be improved. At the Sept/Oct joint PEG meeting, staff will outline opportunities for IE PEG members to remain engaged as individuals going forward.

Need more proof that New Jerseyans hate having to pay for beach badges?
For the third time in the past four years, Wildwood -- the south Jersey resort town where the beaches are free and gigantic -- has been named the state's best beach.
Wildwood and its two neighbors, Wildwood Crest and North Wildwood, took top honors in the annual contest run by the New Jersey Marine Sciences Consortium/New Jersey Sea Grant and the Richard Stockton College Coastal Research Center as a way of making people feel more connected to and protective of the state's 127-mile coastline. Residents and tourists voted in an online poll.
The three beaches, which market themselves as a single entity called The Wildwoods, entered and won the contest that way, too. Admission to all three beaches is always free, which accounts for a
big part of their appeal.
"They're nice and free, and they're always clean," said Lynda Jarrett, 59, of Lewisburg, Pa. "I've been coming here since I was 5 years old. I love everything about Wildwood. This beach is my
medicine; it's what keeps me coming back each year."
Joint marketing also paid off for the second-place winner, the six municipalities on Long Beach Island. They placed third last year.
Ocean City, another south Jersey family resort which won the 2009 contest, came in third this year.
The other winners were, in order of finish: Sea Isle City; Cape May; Asbury Park; Seaside Heights (which moved up one spot from last year, possibly due to the absence this year of Snooki); Island
Beach State Park; Cape May Point, and Sandy Hook, the first time the national recreation area made the top 10.
Cape May County thus took five of the top 10 spots in the contest. The Wildwoods, Ocean City, Sea Isle City, Cape May and Cape May Point are all part of the state's southernmost county,
where tourism is by far the largest industry.
But it's Wildwood, or The Wildwoods, that draw the most loyalty from beachgoers.
Motorists heading to the beach down the main drag roll up to a giant sculpture that spells out "Wildwoods" in 15-foot-tall letters on the boardwalk. On the ground in front of it are 29 brightly painted cement beach balls.
The Wildwoods boast three of the only five beaches in New Jersey that don't require people to buy beach badges to get onto the sand and into the water. Maybe it's because they have to work so hard to get to the surf.
The beaches here are a half-mile from the boardwalk in many spots, kicking sand in the faces of most other New Jersey beaches. Due to the prevailing ocean currents and the natural topography of
the coastline, sand that washes away from other beaches piles up here.
In fact, the walk to the water is so far that Wildwood once seriously entertained a proposal to let a vendor offer camel rides to and from the surf before deciding against it.
Wildwood also is a hotbed of `50s doo-wop culture and is home to many oldies festivals and antique car cruise nights. The three-town resort says it has the largest concentration of preserved doo-wop
architecture in the country, and last year was named one of America Online's 10 Architectural Wonders of the United States. Even the Wawa convenience store and gas station on the main drag into town is done up in neon colors and angular roof lines.
Wildwood and North Wildwood share a nearly two-mile boardwalk that has its own in-your-face charm, with the usual pizza and fudge shops alongside T-shirt shacks and body piercing outlets. It has three amusement piers with a freakishly tall Ferris wheel, a gargantuan roller coaster and the newest ride, "It" which opens Memorial Day weekend.
Coming in a close second is Long Beach Island, number three is Ocean City and fourth is Sea Isle City.
Votes Are In: NJ's Best Beach Is Wildwood
This is the third time in the past four years that the beach town has held this distinction.

How to Add a Service Item to the Item List in QuickBooks 2013
You use service items in QuickBooks 2013 to purchase or bill for items that represent service. For example, a CPA prepares tax returns for individuals and businesses. When they bill a client for preparing his or her tax return, the line item that appears on the invoice for Tax Return Preparation is a service item.
In your business, you probably have service items, too. For example, a health-care provider, such as a dentist or doctor, provides treatment or performs procedures. These activities represent services.
Even retailers and contractors — businesses that you typically think of as selling tangible physical goods — often sell services. For example, a retailer may gift-wrap a purchase, which is a service. A contractor may provide services such as painting and cleanup.
To add a service item, display the New Item window. When QuickBooks displays the New Item window, select Service from the Type drop-down list. Then use the Item Name/Number box to give the service a brief code or name. If the service is a subitem, select the Subitem Of check box and identify the parent item.
Select the This Service Is Used in Assemblies or Is Performed by a Subcontractor or Partner check box if the service is provided by, as the window suggests, a subcontractor, owner, or partner. You indicate which services are performed by subcontractors, owners, and partners because these parties are subject to different tax accounting rules.
Finally, use the Description box to describe the service. Your description appears on invoices and purchase orders, so you want to be thoughtful here. Use the Rate box to describe the price or rate per unit of service. Use the Tax Code box to indicate whether the service is taxable. Finally, use the Account box to identify which Income account should be credited when the item is sold to some customer, client, or patient.

Jacksonville Area Legal Aid attorney April Charney has proved a big pain in the ass for giant corporations in the middle of the foreclosure crisis like Deutsche Bank, Wells Fargo Company and Jacksonville-based Lender Processer Services. She gummed up what had been routine and quick foreclosures with questions that led to an exposure of the fraud and forgery that drive many foreclosures. Charney was among the first attorneys to ask lenders to produce the proof they really owned the loans and had the right to foreclose. Attorney generals opened investigations into foreclosure practices in 50 states. Jacksonville's Lender Processing Services was in the middle of those investigations because it is one of the country's largest loan servicers and because of the volume of legal documents that company representatives appear to have faked.

Luca di Montezemolo and Brunico's mayor Christian Tschurtschenthaler light Ferrari's Christmas tree
Maranello, 6 December – This morning Ferrari Chairman Luca di Montezemolo and Brunico's mayor Christian Tschurtschenthaler lit the 16-metre high Christmas tree, donated by the city of Brunico to Ferrari.
The tree is positioned in the main square of the headquarter, next to the historical entrance of Ferrari, and will glow for the whole Christmas season with 10,000 lights, which, thanks to an energy saving system, consume just 1,400 watt.
Amongst the guests, apart from Brunico's mayor Christian Tschurtschenthaler, also Matthias Prugger (Skirama Plan de Corones president), Martin Huber (President of the Tourist Board of Brunico). Ferrari was represented by Chairman Montezemolo, CEO Amedeo Felisa, and Scuderia Ferrari Team Principal Stefano Domenicali. Luca di Montezemolo presented the mayor of Brunico with a scale model of the Ferrari 458 Italia.
Ferrari's Christmas activities won't end here: on 12 December the company will celebrate Natale Bimbi, dedicated to the Ferrari employees' children, with shows and activities for the whole family.
