Elm Grove police looking for suspect in dry cleaning reimbursement scam
A man tried to get two Elm Grove businesses to pay his dry cleaning costs in a scheme that netted $50 last week, according to the Elm Grove Police Department.

According to a police report:
An unidentified man claimed someone spilled soda on his jacket during a previous visit to the store, and a manager said the store would reimburse him for cleaning costs.
He presented a dry cleaning receipt for $50 and was reimbursed. The manager he had named wasn't on duty.» Read Full Article

Humane societies waiving cat adoption fees in July
The Wisconsin Humane Society is waiving adoption fees for adult cats during July.
It's a first for southeastern Wisconsin with shelters from five counties joining together for the adoption promotion. The initiative aims to save 1,000 cats.
Adoption fees for cats older than one year were waived in response to an increase in cat intake.
The Wisconsin Humane Society campuses right now are caring for 575 cats, up from 361 at the same time last year.
"This time of year, we can get in 30 to 50 cats and kittens a day," Karen Sparapani, the executive director of Milwaukee Area Domestic Animal Control Commission, said in a news release. "The only way to keep up with that is by adopting or transferring out the same number each day. With all shelters overwhelmed this time of year, we truly count on the community to adopt to keep our population moving through."» Read Full Article
Residents, officials pleased with improvements at Calhoun Road railroad crossing in Brookfield
"Pleasantly surprised" seems to be an accurate way of describing reactions to recent improvements at a railroad crossing in Brookfield.
For months, residents and commuters have been dismayed at the condition of the southern crossing at Calhoun Road, just north of North Avenue.
City officials have been hard at work talking to Canadian Pacific Railway in order to get work done at the bumpy crossing. Residents have been hard at work making sure that their officials kept that going.
"We've been working with the railroad company and the office of the commissioner of railroads to try to get this to a resolution," city of Brookfield director of public works Tom Grisa said. "We're happy that we've come to what I consider a successful resolution."
Last week, construction was finally done on the crossing and initial reactions have given it high marks.» Read Full Article

Brookfield committee to study beekeeping
There's a new buzz in Brookfield.
Not long ago the city put a stop to a movement to allow more residents to keep chickens in their backyards. Now, there are questions about beekeeping.
Much like backyard chickens, residential beekeeping is a recent trend. In 2010, the city of Milwaukee began allowing residents to keep bees, and the city of Wauwatosa passed a similar ordinance last year.
In Brookfield, Alderman Bob Reddin has made a legislative referral regarding the topic on behalf of a constituent.
"I had a constituent come to me who had wanted to do beekeeping," Reddin said.» Read Full Article

Long-tenured sports writer Sky Skibosh heads into retirement, sort of
After 14 years, I am stepping down from my position as sports reporter/writer/columnist and tweet guy for Brookfield, Wauwatosa and New Berlin as of June 30.
I have been thinking about this since the end of the winter season. The main reason is my wife, Kathy, turned 65 (hopefully she won't read this) in July and is eligible for Medicare. I've been eligible for two years (I know, I look like I just turned 40).
The second reason is my kids and their spouses have given Kathy and me two new grandsons — Ayden in November and Lewis in February — to go along with Angeline, a 16-year-old Waukesha Northstar junior, and Aria, a perky 3-year old. We need more flexibility to go see them, especially Ayden, who lives in La Cresenta, California.
Favorite teams
I have been blessed with many great teams, too many to remember, since I can't remember what happened two days ago. But I want to bring up five in particular, all state champs in all three of my papers.» Read Full Article

OwnersEdge gives Green Bay business owner an alternative to selling
For five days, Steve Elias didn't even open the unsolicited acquisition offer.
Although he wanted to sell his three Green Bay businesses, Elias worried about how a new owner — particularly one looking to consolidate within the industry — might treat his 70 employees. So instead of responding to the sender, Elias remembered a presentation he had heard several years earlier and picked up the phone.
Six months later, Elias is still running his companies, but they've been sold to OwnersEdge Inc., a Brookfield-based employee stock ownership plan holding company that is looking to invest in and build companies in the Midwest.
The presentation Elias remembered was made by Lisa Reardon, president, chief executive officer and chairwoman of OwnersEdge. Reardon had talked about business owners' succession planning, and about how her company sought diversification through acquisitions of companies with leaders such as Elias who want to continue running their businesses.
"Quite honestly, nothing's really changed for me," said Elias, president of Baycom Inc., a provider of wireless voice, mobile data and video equipment to public safety and commercial clients.» Read Full Article

UNCW swimmers use 'shocked,' 'unfair' to describe proposed cuts
Published: Wednesday, May 15, 2013 at 9:44 p.m.
Last Modified: Wednesday, May 15, 2013 at 9:44 p.m.
Carly Tanner was distraught when she heard the report.
The swimmer just completed four years of eligibility at UNCW by becoming only the second woman in program history to compete in the NCAA Championships.
She wouldn't trade those four years for anything, she said, and is upset at even the thought that her teammates might not be able to finish their career at UNCW.
"I feel like it's part of my life being taken away," she said. "It's so unfair."
Within hours of the release of the Intercollegiate Athletics Review Committee report, the university's male and female swimmers and divers had generated more than 1,000 members to a Facebook page, started a petition at change.org and a hashtag on Twitter.
Alumni sent emails to the chancellor and media members protesting the proposed changes, which would eliminate a men's program that has won 12 consecutive Colonial Athletic Association championships.
Matt Byrd, a junior, said he learned earlier Wednesday afternoon that five sports could be cut. When he read the report, he was "pretty angry and shocked."
"We are two of the most successful teams at the school, if not the two most successful," Byrd said.
The Woodnine, Md., native described the swimming and diving programs as a family, telling a story about how he and a teammate helped one of coach Dave Allen's first swimmers move in to his house in Wilmington recently.
The swimmers hope to voice their opinion to Chancellor Gary Miller and the university Board of Trustees before they act on the recommendations.
"Right now we want to do something, but don't want to act too harshly," he said. "We don't want to do something that would hurt instead of help."
Many of the current swimmers return to campus next week for the beginning of the first summer school session and also to help with Swim School, where local children learn to swim.
"I understand there are financial reasons," Tanner said. "We know no one is out to get us. We just want to know if there's a better solution."

One of the most difficult coaching positions for Robb Akey to fill this year was the job of defensive coordinator.
"Because I am a former defensive coordinator," he said, "it's not always easy to say, all right you go run the defense now'."
Luckily for Akey, he found a replica of his aggressive defensive mindset in Mark Criner.
"He and I share a lot of the same beliefs about how defense needs to be played. He's going to be aggressive and he's going to get after it."
To realize the positive aspects that he brings to the table, Akey simply points to everything that Criner has accomplished in his 16-year year career.
"At each of the spots that he has been a coordinator, they've been the No. 1 defense in their conference," Akey said. "At Middle Tennessee and Cincinnati, they were ranked in the top 20 defenses in all of Division I-A."
Criner now is making his return to football in the state of Idaho after graduating from Boise State University where, from the late 1970s to the early 1980s, his father, Jim, was the head coach. Akey appreciates his new defensive coordinators ties to the Vandals' cross-state rival.
"I like the fact that he played down at BSU, so he has a lot of motivation to beat those guys," Akey said.
Motivation to beat a rival or not, Akey has nothing but praise for Mark Criner.
"He's proven his ability to get it done," Akey said. "He's a good fit all the way around."

Every February, Maxine Turner and her team of chefs and designers at Cuisine Unlimited dream up a menu to serve to the top chefs and restaurateurs at Salt Lake magazine's annual Dining Awards event.
The challenge is slightly awesome: The food must be delicious, beautiful and—this is the hard part—easy to eat while talking and drinking. Here is one of the recipes served at this year's event—a clever play on one of Salt Lake's favorite Greek dishes.
Greek Salad on a Stick
Makes 4-6 servings
24 grape or small cherry tomatoes
3 ounces feta cheese, cut into 12
1/2-inch cubes
12 pitted kalamata olives
1 English cucumber, sliced
24 big fresh basil leaves
12 6-inch bamboo or wood skewers
2 tsp. lemon juice
2 tsp. red wine vinegar
2 tsp. chopped fresh oregano leaves
2 Tbsp. extra virgin olive oil
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
Thread the skewers, starting with a tomato, then a basil leaf, an olive, a piece of feta cheese and a cucumber slice. Repeat with the remaining ingredients.
In a small bowl, mix together the lemon juice, red wine vinegar and oregano. Whisk in the olive oil until the mixture thickens. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Arrange the skewers on a serving platter. Spoon the vinaigrette over the skewers and sprinkle with the chopped oregano.

SIGNED this 9th day of January, 2012.
For on-line use but not print publication
In Re:
ALEXANDER W. GLENN, and
Case 11-07043 Doc# 55 Filed 01/09/12 Page 1 of 8
This adversary proceeding seeks an order allowing offset of certain judgments:
(1) a judgment for $7,170,603 in favor of Defendants Alan E. Meyer ("Meyer") and John
R. Pratt ("Pratt") against Debtor and Defendants Alexander W. Glenn ("Glenn") and
David J. Christie ("Christie") entered by the United States District Court for the District
of Kansas in Case No. 07-2230-CM; and (2) a number of judgments totaling
approximately $7,543,500.40 now held by Debtor, Glenn, and Christie against Meyer and
Pratt, originating in Iowa and registered in the District Court of Dickinson County,
Kansas. Debtor contends its liability on the federal judgment should be offset against the
liability of Meyer and Pratt on the Iowa judgments, with Meyer and Pratt remaining liable
to the extent that the amount of the Iowa judgments exceeds the amount of the federal
Liberty Bank, F.S.B. ("Liberty"), moves to intervene. It holds judgments for
approximately $800,000 against Meyer. Those judgments have been registered in the
District Court of Johnson County, Kansas. On May 16, 2011, Liberty served a
garnishment order on Christie to collect the judgments. On May 19, 2011, Liberty served
a garnishment order on Debtor to collect the judgments. The answers of both Debtor and
Christie to the garnishments assert that nothing is owed to Meyer because Meyer's
liability to Debtor and Christie under the Iowa judgments exceeds the liability of Debtor
and Christie to Meyer under the federal judgment.
Case 11-07043 Doc# 55 Filed 01/09/12 Page 2 of 8
Debtor opposes intervention. For the reasons stated below, the Court grants the
motion to intervene.
Federal Rule of Bankruptcy Procedure 7024 governs intervention.
Intervention in an adversary proceeding is governed by Federal Rule of
Bankruptcy Procedure 7024, which incorporates Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 24. A
person has a right to intervene if claiming "an interest relating to the property or
transaction that is the subject of the action, and is so situated that disposing of the action
may as a practical matter impair or impede the movant's ability to protect its interest,
unless existing parties adequately represent that interest."1 In addition, the Court may
permit anyone to intervene if the person "has a claim or defense that shares with the main
action a common question of law or fact."2 In exercising discretion to allow permissive
intervention, the Court "must consider whether the intervention will unduly delay or
prejudice the adjudication of the original parties' rights."3
The conditions for intervention as of right are present.
The first requirement for intervention as of right is that the movant have an interest
relating to the property or transaction that is the subject of the action. The Tenth Circuit
has said: "[W]e have not required that 'the movant in intervention have a direct interest
in the outcome of the lawsuit,' but have required rather that 'the "interest" asserted in the
1 Fed. R. Civ. P. 24(a)(2).
2 Fed. R. Civ. P. 24(b)(1)(B).
3 Fed. R. Civ. P. 24(b)(3).
Case 11-07043 Doc# 55 Filed 01/09/12 Page 3 of 8
subject of the litigation . . . be a specific legal or equitable one.'"4 Because courts have
difficulty in defining precisely the type of interest necessary for intervention, the Tenth
Circuit looks "to the policy concerns underlying the interest requirement to determine
whether an applicant's interest is sufficient."5 As one treatise has explained, the rules
regulating intervention attempt to strike a balance between three varying interests:
(1) Those presently litigating who would prefer that others not be brought in; (2) those on
the outside who wish to be made parties, believing the outcome will effect them; and
(3) the public interest in the efficient resolution of controversies.6 The Tenth Circuit
regards the interest test for intervention as a "'practical guide to disposing of lawsuits by
involving as many apparently concerned persons as is compatible with efficiency and due
Does Liberty have an interest relating to the property or transaction which is the
subject of the litigation? The primary subject of the adversary complaint is whether
Debtor's obligation to Meyer and Platt by virtue of the federal judgment can be satisfied
by offset of the amount owed to Debtor by Meyer and Platt by virtue of the Iowa
4 FDIC v. Jennings, 816 F.2d 1488, 1491 (10th Cir. 1987) (quoting Natural Resources Defense
Council, Inc., v. U.S. Nuclear Reg. Comm'n, 578 F.2d 1341, 1344 (10th Cir. 1978) (emphasis in original)

judgments. Liberty when moving to intervene alleges an interest in Debtor's obligation to
Meyer and Platt arising because of garnishments of both Debtor and Christie to satisfy
judgments of Liberty against Meyer. The answers to each of those garnishments took the
position nothing was owed to Meyer by the garnishees because when the amount owed
under the Iowa judgments in favor of garnishees Debtor and Christie is offset against the
federal judgment against the garnishees, there is a net amount owing by Meyer and Pratt
to Debtor, Christie, and Glenn. Thus the subject matter of this proceeding is the same as
that stated in Debtor's answer to Liberty's garnishment.
Debtor characterizes Liberty's interest as insufficient since Liberty does not
propose to pursue a claim against Debtor or any of the defendants, except the collection
of a debt of Meyer to Liberty. It cites Alisal Water,8 a decision by the Ninth Circuit Court
of Appeals in an environmental enforcement action against Alisal Water brought by the
United States, which affirmed denial of intervention to a judgment creditor of Alisal
Water. It held that the creditor's interest in the "prospective collectability of a debt" was
"several degrees removed from the overriding public health and environmental policies
that are the backbone of this litigation."9 The Ninth Circuit has explained Alisal Water as
holding "that the mere interest in the prospective collectablility of a debt is insufficient to
8 U.S. v. Alisal Water Corp., 370 F.3d 915 (9th Cir. 2004).
9 Id. at 920.
Case 11-07043 Doc# 55 Filed 01/09/12 Page 5 of 8
satisfy the requirements of Rule 24(a)(2), unless that interest is related to the underlying
subject matter of the action."10
This case is outside this understanding of Alisal Water. The underlying subject of
this litigation is the relationship of the various judgments in issue. Liberty alleges an
interest in that relationship by virtue of its status as garnishor of Debtor and Christie to
satisfy a claim of Meyer held by Liberty.
A balancing of the competing policies supports intervention. Debtor wishes to
confine the litigation to the parties initially named in the complaint. Liberty believes that
the outcome of the litigation may affect the collectability is its judgment, and the answers
of the garnishees provide a strong basis for that belief. Resolution of the offset issue as
applied to Liberty's garnishment orders in this proceeding will serve the public interest by
combining litigation in a single forum. Other courts have found creditor status sufficient
grounds for intervention.11
Second, Liberty's absence from the litigation may as a practical matter impede
Liberty's ability to collect its judgment against Meyer from Debtor. If this Court rules
that Debtor may satisfy its liability to Meyer under the federal judgment by offset,
Liberty's garnishment of Debtor will be impacted.
10 Ministry of Defense and Support v. Cubic Defense Systems, Inc., 385 F.3d 1206, 1213 (9th Cir.
11 See In re Arbitration between Holborn Oil Trading Ltd. and Interpetrol Bermuda Ltd., 658
F.Supp. 1205 (S.D.N.Y. 1987); American Jerex Co. v. Universal Aluminum Extrusions, Inc., 340 F.Supp.
Case 11-07043 Doc# 55 Filed 01/09/12 Page 6 of 8
Third, there is no reason to believe that Liberty's interest will be adequately
protected by the present defendants. Liberty's debtor, Meyer, is a party, but his interests
are adverse to Liberty. Meyer's primary concern in this case is his controversy with
Debtor, Christie, and Glenn, not satisfaction of Liberty's claim.
The Court therefore grants Liberty's motion to intervene as of right.
Alternatively, the conditions for permissive intervention are present.
Even if the circumstances for intervention of right are not present, a court may
grant permission to intervene when the movant "has a claim or defense that shares with
the main action a common question of law or fact."12 "In exercising its discretion, the
court must consider whether the intervention will unduly delay or prejudice the
adjudication of the original parties' rights."13
The conditions for permissive abstention are present. Liberty claims the Debtor
and Christie are indebted to Meyer by virtue of the federal court judgment and that
judgment cannot be satisfied through offset of the Iowa judgments against Meyer that
were allegedly assigned to Debtor, Christie, and Glenn. The questions of fact and law at
issue in deciding whether Debtor's liability to Meyer can be offset by Meyer's liability to
Debtor in this proceeding are precisely the same issues of law and fact which must be
decided to determine if Meyer's liability to Liberty can be satisfied from the judgment
against Debtor and Christie. Further, the Court knows of no basis to conclude that
12 F.R. Civ. P. 24(b)(1)(B).
13 F.R. Civ. P. 24(b)(3).
Case 11-07043 Doc# 55 Filed 01/09/12 Page 7 of 8
allowing intervention will unduly delay or prejudice resolution of the original parties'
For the foregoing reasons, the Court grant's Liberty Bank's motion to intervene as
a matter of right and, in the alternative, permissively.

Judith Sills, PhD
Her Message: ax "age appropriate" A clinical psychologist and the author of Getting Naked Again, Sills dishes on how to stay young (and sexy!) and why she never says age appropriate.
Some people believe that to age gracefully, we first need to "mourn" our lost youth. Are you one of them? No! My philosophy is, "Look back but don't stare." I make a distinction between youth and being young. Youth is a life era, from birth to thirty-something. Being young is an attitude. It is something you should work to develop and hang on to till they carry you out of the nursing home.
So what does it mean to "be young"? It's not about maintaining your boobs at the same level they were. You can have the perkiest boobs in the world and be dead to life. Being young means having certain traits: curiosity, a sense of possibility, a willingness to take risks. That's an attitude you can have at 30 and at 60. Granted, it gets harder as you go along, especially if your health gets hit. But you have some con-trol even over that. You are way more likely to maintain your energy if you exercise six days a week.
What role does sex play as we age? Sex is life juice. It's like, "Hello, I'm awake. I'm alive. I batted my eyes, you batted your eyes, we held hands, we danced, we rubbed up against each other—who cares if I'm not 25? I'm still here; it still feels good." It's about a connection with another person. It's about spark. Have as much sex as possible in any way possible.
What else can increase our self-esteem as we age, particularly when it comes to our looks? Cosmetics have always been an attitude enhancer. We don't paint our faces just to attract the opposite sex. If you're feeling schlumpy and depressed, a manicure, a haircut and a little lipstick can work like medicine. It's easy to dismiss all that as superficial, but it has a deep impact on our sense of self and our willingness to connect with other people. It says, "OK, I'm going back out into the world now. I'm not in retreat."
What about plastic surgery? If at 14 you were experimenting with glitter eyeshadow and at 50 you're experimenting with Botox or a little nip and tuck, it's all in the same category. Heavy makeup didn't work at 14, and overdoing plastic surgery in a desperate effort to look 15 years younger doesn't work at 40. But a light hand in all these things can put a smile on your face. That's their purpose. For some women, just getting a massage works. It may be letting your hair go silver or finally becoming a redhead—whatever gives you the feeling that you're fabulous.
Why do women judge one another so harshly about things like Botox? It's like in middle school, when one girl wore a lot of makeup and we judged her and called her a slut. We are all trying to justify our own choices, and sometimes it feels as if we're in a contest. But the more comfortable and confident you are with where you are in your life, the less you need to be upset about another woman's choice.
Any advice for women who are freaked out by their first wrinkles? My advice is, stop thinking about yourself so much. That doesn't mean you shouldn't do what you can to look great. But once you've done that, stop looking at yourself and look out at the world. It's where everything interesting and exciting is. Do something new. Challenge yourself. Don't hide in a little pod of everybody at your age, everybody you've known forever.
Why do you dislike the term age appropriate? Social judgment is a premier way we have of confining women. Don't be so sexual: It's not age appropriate. Don't be so enthusiastic. Don't have such a high profile. Don't be so competitive. Age appropriateis a way of saying that whether you're 35 or 75, there are certain expectations of what your sex life should be like, what your clothes should be like and where you should be professionally. The expectation is that the older you get, the less curious you'll be, the less comfortable you'll be on your own, the less sex you'll have, the more fearful you'll be. The expectations are all negative. The phraseage appropriatenever envisions older people having fun.
How can we fight that attitude? The more invested you are in life, the less worried you are about what other people think. My attitude is, every passing year, get sexier, looser, have a better time, be out there more, dress for yourself more, speak for yourself more, flirt more, because who the hell cares anymore?
Jacque Lynn Foltyn, PhD
Her Message: silence your "self monitor" The author of Fashions: Exploring Fashion Through Cultureand a professor of sociology at National University in La Jolla, California, Foltyn is conducting a 30-year longitudinal study of women's attitudes toward beauty. Here she talks about the psychological concept of self-monitoring and how it can affect our confidence.
What exactly is self-monitoring? It's an internal surveillance system, a way of gathering information about the impressions we make on others and adjusting our behavior accordingly. Part of becoming a grownup is to self-monitor. You learn to control your bodily functions, but you also learn to control how you present yourself to the outside world, because our sense of self is shaped to a large degree by social interactions. Sociologists call it the looking-glass self. Receiving positive feedback from others can lead to good things like self-confidence, jobs, love and friendship. The downside is that you can become hostage to living each day as a beauty contest that needs to be won.
Are some women more prone to this than others? Yes. Some people, high self-monitors, beat themselves up if they get any negative feedback. They think they're the center of attention even when they're not. They depend on the positive reaction of others to create their sense of self-worth. They often had very critical parents whom they were constantly attempting to satisfy. Interestingly, it doesn't matter how objectively beautiful you are. Some of the most beautiful women are the most self-monitoring and therefore the most insecure.
What about women on the other end of the spectrum? Low self-monitors don't care as much what others think of them. They are more concerned about conveying who they truly are than with winning people over. They tend to be less appearance oriented even if they are great beauties. Their parents were supportive of their interests and fostered their talents.
Can you be a high self-monitor in some areas of your life but not others? Yes. And knowing that can help you shut off that inner voice. For instance, if you're hyperaware of your appearance but confident in your career, reminding yourself of that helps. Self-monitoring is a behavior you can control. You can train yourself to turn more of your focus to the things you feel confident about.
When does self-monitoring become a problem? When it constricts your life emotionally, mentally or socially. There was one woman in my study who learned to sleep on her back so she could wear false eyelashes to bed. She would whip out lipstick after just a few bites of food. She couldn't stop herself. Another woman who is a very accomplished professor was overly dependent on others' views of her when it came to her appearance. She went out and bought a new outfit, but when she wore it to work, no one in the office complimented her on it. The next day, she returned it, even though she liked it. She wanted strategies to stop being so affected by other people's opinions.
What advice did you have? The first step is to be aware of the self-monitoring and think of it as a bad habit you can break. Brain science shows us that the more you obsess about something, the more it gets set in the neural pathways, so you need to interrupt the thought process. I'm not saying you should stand in front of the mirror and say, "I love my wrinkles." But you can tell yourself, "Oh, I'm obsessing again. That's kind of silly." To break the habit, some people put a rubber band on their wrist and snap it when they are obsessing. Think of it as giving yourself the gift of relief from a way of thinking that ultimately makes you unhappy.
Any other strategies? Consider taking a beauty break, even if it's just when you go on vacation. I had one woman in my study who was a very high self-monitor. She never left the house without full makeup. Then the man she fell in love with persuaded her to take some of it off. Now she loves going without makeup at times. I've seen lots of women helped by just letting others see them with clean faces and realizing the world doesn't end.
Does this kind of self-scrutiny tend to lessen as we get older? When you're an adolescent, it's normal to be self-conscious about your appearance; your body is changing, and you are cementing your presentation to the world. Most people leave behind those intense concerns and develop new sources of stability, so anxiety about their position on the beauty ladder goes down. Aging can beget a new serenity about your personal appearance. That is one of beauty's most beguiling paradoxes: Body image can improve as you grow older even if objectively your looks haven't improved or are fading. Some people in the study jokingly told me that what happens is your eyesight gets bad. The truth is, we focus on other things in our lives, other accomplishments, and our sense of self is less driven by appearance. But for some women, aging can act as a trigger, especially those who feel their looks wouldn't change if they just took care of themselves. Some women are truly shocked when they see themselves aging.
How can we navigate that change? You don't have to give up on beauty, but you have to accept the transition or you're going to be unhappy. Make a conscious decision to cut down on the kind of self-monitoring that leaves you at the mercy of everyone else's ideas about how you should look. Giving all that power to others can make you feel bad about who you are when you should be celebrating your accomplishments and all the good things you've done in your life.
Geoffrey G. Jones, PhD
His Message: understand that beauty is relative A professor of business history at Harvard Business School and author of Beauty Imagined: A History of the Global Beauty Industry, Jones explains how the definition of beauty is constantly changing—and why that's a good thing for women today.
Is the desire for beauty biologically rooted? There is convincing literature in support of that. The first person to put that idea forward was really Charles Darwin in his 1871 book, The Descent of Man, which introduced his theory of sexual selection [that to ensure the survival of the human species we make ourselves desirable to the opposite sex]. We know that appearance and smell in particular send out signals of fertility. So do things like clear skin and [healthy] hair. The evidence is pretty convincing that we use beauty products because of the need to attract and reproduce. But, that said, societies have defined what it means to be attractive in very different ways.
How have definitions of beauty changed? If you look back thousands of years, you can see there's no universal standard of beauty. Instead, the definition of what's beautiful has varied enormously over time and between cultures: long hair versus no hair; dark skin versus light skin. These things are affected by the fashion cycle, and they shift between generations. Knowing that is empowering. Thirty years ago [in the U.S.], you had to be white to be considered beautiful, and that's not true now. In 19th-century Japan, having very narrow eyes was the benchmark of being beautiful. And now [in Asia], very big eyes are in. In a hundred years' time, I'm sure we'll be in some other place.
How have cosmetics affected what we think of as beautiful? In the past, only rich people had access to beauty products. As the industry grew, it democratized access to beauty, and it gave women choices for the first time about how they looked. That continues to be important in emerging countries, where access to beauty products can be a liberating experience. The trouble was, as the industry developed, it started dictating what it meant to be beautiful, and that was very much associated with being under 35. But there has been a growing confidence and a reassertion by women of control over their lives, and part of that has been pressure against this restrictive idea of beauty.
Has there always been this emphasis on looking young? Romans and Egyptians dyed their hair to get rid of the gray. But until the modern age, it wasn't much of a concern, because when you had candlelight and no cameras or television, you couldn't really see as much. And before the 19th century, once women passed 35, they weren't expected to be attractive. They took on other roles. As the beauty industry took shape, it introduced this concept that you should be beautiful after 35, and the way to do that was to look under 35. But it needn't be that way.
How can we think of beauty differently as we age? Imagine an alternative world, one in which you look beautiful in a different way at different stages of your life. Beauty is not necessarily associated with being young and fertile. In the past, "beauty" was treated in the industry and by society in a very linear way directly linked to physical age. Now, as women have increasingly taken control of their bodies through diet and exercise (and plastic surgery), physical signs of age are less dominant. Women can define themselves by their lifestyle choices rather than by a prescribed notion of where they should be that's strictly linked to their age. So, for example, now you can be single and sexy in your forties, whereas in earlier times beauty was no longer considered relevant at that stage.
What effect is social media having on how we define beauty? It has diminished the ability of beauty firms and fashion editors to dictate beauty standards. They remain significant influences, but now they share their space with bloggers and vloggers—and consumers who express their views on Facebook. It's possible that this shift will make beauty ideals more legitimate as they are less manipulated by big advertising budgets. However, we are only at the beginning of the social media revolution; we still have a ways to go.

Mecum's annual all-Corvettes auction held in conjunction with the Bloomington Gold Corvette event featured a stunning group 23 black 'Vettes that not only paraded through downtown St. Charles, Illinois on their way to the Pheasant Run resort, but which followed each other onto the auction block, where they brought $1.65 million of the $5.8 million in total sales.
The top-dollar sales, however, was not one of those 1954-69 model-year black beauties, but a golden-colored 1971 ZR2 convertible that sold for $410,000 (hammer price). The car was one of only two ZR2 convertibles produced and, according to its original fuel tank sticker, was the last ZR2 built and the last of the first-generation LS6-powered Corvettes.
Barrett-Jackson does $14 million at Orange County
Barrett-Jackson's recent and second annual Orange County (California) classic car auction posted sales of nearly $14 million, down slightly from the $15 million figure achieved at the inaugural event in 2010, though those numbers need to be viewed in context. Last year, the sale included some 400 vehicles. This year, that number was 300.
The big surprise was the vehicle that sold for the most money: A 1963 23-window Volkswagen Samba bus went for $217,500.
However, that sale did not feature the auction's highest bids. A 1973 Ferrari Daytona GTB/4 was bid to $325,000 only to fall short of the car's reserve price. (After several years as a "no-reserve" auction, Barrett-Jackson has begun to include reserves on high-value vehicles.)
RM's inaugural Salon Prive does $8.19 in sales
Though it took place on the other side of "the pond," RM's inaugural Sale Prive auction generated $8.19 million in sales, with a 77 percent sell-through of the 77 vehicles offered in West London. The top-sale was $755,744 for a 1929 Bentley Speed Six "Le Mans" style tourer.
The second-high sale was $740,963 for a 1961 Aston Martin DB4 Vantage convertible that had been purchased new by actor Peter Ustinov.
The auction was held in conjunction with the Salon Prive luxury super car show and concours d'elegance, where a 1939 Alfa Romeo 6C 2500 was judged best in show. The pre-war Alfa had been purchased new by Italian dictator Benito Mussolini for his mistress, Clara Petacci.
Jeepers! Jeep Week at the Chrysler Museum
The Walter P. Chrysler Museum in Auburn Hills, Michigan, offers free admission as part of a July 12-17 celebration of the 70th anniversary of the date the U.S. Army signed a contract with Willys-Overland to produce a military reconnaissance vehicle we know know and love as the Jeep. The week-long celebration is sponsored by Dana, which celebrates its 70th anniversary as a supplier to those Jeeps, starting with the 1941 Willys MA which was built with Spicer front and rear axles and propshafts from the Maumee, Ohio-based auto supplier.
Inside the museum, a special 70 Years of Jeep exhibition showcases the Jeep's evolution with eight vehicles -- a '41 Willys MA, a '43 Jeep MB, a '45 Jeep CJ-2A, a '49 Willys wagon, a '50 Jeepster, '73 and '85 CJ-5s and two concept vehicles -- the 1998 Jeepster and the 2001 Willys II.
Spicer components also are displayed inside, and Dana's Jeep components will be part of a special cruise night event in the museum parking lot from 5:30-8:30 p.m. July 13.
Death Valley gets its own car show
Each summer, the world's automakers bring their well-camouflaged vehicles in development to California's Death Valley for hot-weather testing and to play cat-and-mouse games with automotive spy photographers. But this coming winter, Death Valley will be the location for Muscle Cars of America's inaugural Winter Car Festival for classic, vintage and contemporary muscle cars and exotics. The event is scheduled December 8-10 at the Furnace Creek Inn, a "resort" on the floor of Death Valley.

Anti-intimidation rule – a practical solution?
Serving on the board of a condominium, co-op or HOA is perhaps the most emotionally difficult of all the volunteer activities that a person may take part in. In other volunteer organizations, despite any conflicts, the arguments are over once you leave and go home. That's not always the case when serving your community's board of directors. When your detractors are your neighbors, you are forced to interact with them and see them on a regular basis. And let's face it, most people aspire to have friendly, peaceful relationships with their neighbors. The issues that arise in a typical community tend to be those that arouse strong feelings in people, and, depending on their individual personalities, owners can direct their frustration at the members of the board.
It is not uncommon that interactions between unit owners and board members escalate into violent conflicts. I've witnessed scuffles and fisticuffs, umbrella swordfights, and threats and intimidation. In at least one case, a board member has been killed by an angry owner. So when you combine the not-so-unusual occurrence of aggression toward board members with the fact that these directors are unpaid volunteers, you can certainly appreciate why they might want to pass an association rule with the intention of protecting them from violence and intimidation. In the world of condos and HOAs, intimidation is not just a fanciful possibility—it happens throughout the country on a daily basis.
But can a board pass a rule to prohibit intimidation? A rule passed by a board is judged on whether it is reasonable, or alternatively, whether it circumvents a right granted by the documents. It would certainly be reasonable to want to curtail intimidation of board members! The main issue is going to be whether the term "intimidation" is reasonably definable. Are bare criticisms sufficient to qualify as intimidation? Certainly the basic concept of a democratic community requires that some amount of director criticism be allowed. But what about repeated criticisms or harassment? Does there need to be a threat of violence to satisfy the rule? The problem, as described, is not so much that the rule is unreasonable or that intimidation of board members is unforeseeable, it's that the rule is likely to be applied in a vague and inconsistent manner because there are no well-defined standards for the conduct that the board is attempting to curtail. It is probable that a bare ban against "intimidation" would be selectively enforced and, therefore, while the rule is conceptually OK, it could prove impractical in application.

One morning last January, Holli Thompson's country kitchen in rural Virginia hummed with activity. A juicer whirred with a blend of organic kale, romaine and celery; containers of rice milk and flaxseed crowded her wooden countertops; and a TV crew from WUSA9 in Washington, D.C., readied equipment to film Thompson, a nutrition coach, for the evening news.
As the camera clicked on, Thompson, a bubbly blonde, cheerily explained to a reporter the best ways to detox after the holidays. She touted the benefits of water infused with cardamom seeds, cinnamon sticks and star anise as well as the cleansing power of nutrient-rich smoothies. Pouring a glass of green liquid from the juicer, she handed it to her interviewer. "This will make your skin glow," she said with a confident smile.
Ten years ago, Thompson was decidedly not glowing. She was depressed, overweight and suffering from a number of illnesses; she'd walked away from a glitzy corporate job and wasn't sure she'd done the right thing. But after hitting bottom physically and emotionally, Thompson rekindled an earlier interest in nutrition, transformed herself and built a new career teaching people how to change their lives by changing their diets. "I had to go down the rabbit hole and crash first—and then get educated to help other people," she says.
Now a holistic health counselor, she advises clients, teaches nutrition workshops and appears frequently in TV news segments on healthy eating. She expects her income to top six figures this year.
In the 1980s, Thompson's life was a sophisticated swirl. As a buyer of fine jewelry for Macy's and later Tiffany & Co., she lived in Manhattan and regularly flew to London and Hong Kong to buy gems and attend jewelry fairs. When she left Tiffany in 1989 to become a vice president at Chanel and launch the company's fine jewelry and watches collection, she often hopped the Concorde to Paris to meet with designers. "It was a totally glamorous life," she recalls.
While working at Chanel, Thompson began to ask herself whether there might be more to life than selling fabulous earrings to gazillionaires. "I was dedicated to my career," she says, "but I wondered if this was really my calling."
In 1994 she married Moses Thompson, an international management consultant from Middleburg, Virginia, whomshe'd fallen for on a business trip in Paris. For the first year of their marriage, she continued working in Manhattan, spending weekends with him in Virginia on their farm. The difficulties of a long-distance relationship made her question her career choices even more.
Then, one gray winter day as she sat in her sleekly modern office on the 44th floor of a midtown high-rise, with its distant view of polar bears frolicking in the Central Park Zoo, she realized that the thought of another year of seeing her husband only on weekends was too depressing. "I was approaching 40, and I really wanted to have a baby," she says. So Thompson quit her job and moved south, with plans to get pregnant.
At first, she relished the change. Middleburg is a tiny 18th-century village about 40 miles west of Washington. Thompson could walk the dirt roads for an hour and never see another human being. But before long, she found country life lonely and isolating.
She'd begun helping her husband at his company, managing the payroll and accounting, when a battery of health problems—allergies, chronic sinus infections, mononucleosis and migraine headaches—began to overwhelm her. On top of all this, Thompson struggled to get pregnant. By 1999, unsuccessful in vitro fertilizations and three miscarriages had plunged her into grief.
Thompson and her husband eventually adopted a baby from Russia in 2000 and called him Ormsby, which was the family name of Moses's mother. Though very happy to have a child, Thompson was weak from unrelenting illnesses, and fertility treatments had further sapped her energy. She quit working at Moses's office, stopped exercising and gained 40 pounds.
By the time Ormsby was in preschool, Thompson spent most days at home alone and depressed, often racked with migraines. In her bedroom, heavy blackout drapes blocked the sunlight. "I was living on this beautiful farm, but I was broken," she says. And as much as she enjoyed being a mother, Thompson missed her days working in New York. "I didn't know who I was anymore."
Over the years, doctors prescribed migraine medication, antibiotics for her sinus infections, nasal sprays for her allergies and an antidepressant. But the drugs brought Thompson only temporary relief. One evening she was out with a concerned friend who suggested she
try strengthening her immune system.
Earlier in her life, Thompson had been interested in nutrition, and she remembered from reading books on the subject that certain foods promote strong immunity. She decided to consult a holistic nutrition coach, who helped revamp her diet. Thompson eliminated dairy -products—which, she had read, may promote congestion in some people—along with gluten and most processed foods. Under the coach's guidance, she concocted protein-rich smoothies and high-antioxidant organic juices; she even began raising her own chickens.
Gradually over the next three years, Thompson started to feel better. She lost weight, and her sinus infections and migraines cleared up. She no longer needed her medications. As her mood lifted, she dusted off her business skills and volunteered in her community, chairing two local charity events that netted $100,000 each.
"I remembered that I know how to organize, to raise money, to lead people, to be creative," she says. She started to think about going back to work. "I considered every career known to man: Maybe I'll open a jewelry shop, become a lobbyist or start a store on eBay."
Committed to focusing on her future, Thompson attended the inaugural MoreReinvention Convention in 2007, where several hundred women—many of them wrestling with the same career questions—came together in New York to explore new directions. Thompson was particularly impressed by a panel of enthusiastic entrepreneurs who talked about resources for women in business. "It was like a lightbulb," she says. "It made me think that I was perhaps brave enough to start my own business."
The right idea came from an unexpected source. Ormsby, by then seven years old, was having health problems of his own. He had developed sinus infections and a chronic cough and often had colds. Doctors diagnosed asthma and prescribed medication, but his symptoms continued. Alarmed, the Thompsons had him tested for a range of infectious diseases. The doctors found nothing.
Finally, Thompson decided that what had worked for her might work for her son. She eliminated dairy, gluten and processed foods from his diet and started feeding him organic and locally grown food. Soon his symptoms began to disappear. "You keep up with your home remedies," Thompson recalls one of Ormsby's doctors telling her. "They're working!"
Thompson's next step was clear to her. "Honey," she told Moses, "I'm going back to school to study nutrition."
After researching programs, Thompson enrolled in the Institute for Integrative Nutrition (IIN), a licensed vocational school in New York City, in 2008. The program attracted people like her who were returning to school in midlife, and its mix of live and online study fit her schedule. Thompson would commute to Manhattan one weekend a month for classes.
Although she didn't receive formal training in dietetics, Thompson studied dietary theories (about, for example, the relative merits of organic foods), how to take health histories and how to start your own business. She signed up for cooking classes at the Natural Gourmet Institute in Manhattan, where she learned to make a raw "meatloaf" from nuts and mushrooms. After a year of study, Thompson received a certificate in holistic health coaching from IIN.
Back in Middleburg, she launched her new business with a free screening of the documentary Food, Inc.that drew several hundred people. In an effort to win new clients, Thompson decided to charge a bargain price of $95 a month for a six-month customized program based on interviews and an extensive questionnaire. The program included sessions with Thompson and phone and e-mail support and her own recipes. She hoped to earn $20,000 her first year, the bulk of it from private clients—and she met that goal. Within a year, she had raised the rate to $290 a month.
Thompson took great pleasure in watching her clients' health improve. Two women in her first group each lost 30 to 40 pounds, and one man's cholesterol level dropped from 240 to 180 in six months.
Not every customer was a success story, of course. "I've had clients who don't want to do the hard work of changing their diets and exercising," Thompson says. "But you can't push people too far." For clients who have trouble following her recommendations, Thompson suggests "baby steps": A woman reluctant to give up her nightly glass of wine, for example, could try sparkling water with some bitters.
Thompson hired a marketing consultant to help her with social media. They set up Facebook and Twitter (@Nutritionista) pages and last year started a website she named Nutritional Style (nutritionalstyle.com), a nod to her fashion past. The consultant also helped her build an e-mail list of potential clients. Thompson volunteered to speak at parents' association meetings and "girls' night out" gatherings. At every event, she added names to her mailing list.
To encourage people to sign up for her services, she began publishing a biweekly free e-zine that included recipes and cooking videos. Before long, she had a list of 1,000 subscribers. Last year she started hosting live and online workshops like the 7-Week Nutritional Style Makeover: 20 clients paid $397 each to dial into a central conference line and hear Thompson teach a class.
But the core of Thompson's work has remained private coaching, and many of her clients consider her a miracle worker. "How do I start to explain a process that has changed my whole life?" wrote Katherine Berger, a Berryville, Virginia, woman who lost 35 pounds, in a testimonial on Thompson's website.
The majority of her clients are women over 40 who sign up for her $197 initial consultation. Some have illnesses like cancer, Crohn's disease and colitis, but most just want to be healthier.
"Most of the women who work with me are getting ready to start the second half of their lives. Their hormones are changing; it can be scary and depressing," she says. "But when they start paying attention to what goes in their mouth, most health issues get easier."
Sometimes Thompson recalls the person she used to be—the overweight, depressed woman who shut herself in her bedroom, sick and suffering. "I feel so sad for that person now," she says. She wants to encourage other women to take control of their health the way she did, by maintaining nutritious diets. "I feel I'm meant to inspire other women. I want them to know they can transform their lives through food."

PREFERENCES: Best kept indoors due to the long coat, a Persian, like all cats, is a creature of habit. A Persian is usually content sitting inside, observing the surroundings where she feels secure. This breed likes and needs considerable attention from her owner. She is generally very docile, easily trained, intelligent, and more dependent than other breeds.
APPEARANCE: A Persian is a medium-sized, hardy cat. According to breed standards,
a Persian should have a sweet expression and soft, round lines. A large, round head, round eyes and a snubbed nose are the most well-known characteristics of a Persian cat. In fact, the recent trend is to make the nose more flat than the original breed standard. The ears are small, round tipped, and set forward.
The legs and the neck of a Persian are short and thick. The tail is short, but in proportion to the body. Long, thick hair stands off from the body, is fine textured and glossy, and can be a variety of colors and patterns. In fact, the coat colors and patterns are so varied that they are grouped into seven divisions:
• Solid Color
• Particolor
• Silver and Golden
• Bicolor
• Shaded and Smoke
• Tabby
• Himalayan
BIGGEST CHALLENGE TO OWNERS: As with all long-haired cats, matting can be a concern. Groom your Persian daily with a brush and metal comb to eliminate potential tangles, mats, and the development of hairballs. An occasional bath also helps to keep the haircoat clean and healthy.

I am curious what are some people's experiences with iCommand's latency issue between the time the command is called and sent on the PC side to when it is executed on the NXT side. What ways have you guys used to get around this latency issue.
The reason I ask is because I am doing research and would like to use iCommand to communicate with the NXT but the latency has been an issue when having the robot react to its surroundings. Any ideas?
