Amy LindgrenHaving too much information for your résumé seems like a problem with an easy solution: Edit some out. But what if it’s important information, which you honestly believe your reader will want to have?This isn’t usually a problem for those with little experience, but it’s a somewhat common struggle for workers “of a certain age.” These are the folks who have three or more decades of experience, with snippets of value embedded in each entry of the résumé.While the advice to arbitrarily lop off all information past a certain date is frankly dumb, the underlying intent is smart. Going short keeps you from looking like Methuselah, while also sparing your reader from pages of unneeded detail.• Too much information. Or TMI as we’ve all learned to say. The challenge is to figure out which points are most important, and then to present the information in a clear but succinct way. One solution? The humble, often forgotten addendum.(If you remember your Latin, you’ll know that adde...Joe Soucheray: We don’t have the $100 million. Might as well add another $12 million?

The Summit Avenue bicycle trail, lost trees and all, approved by the St. Paul City Council by a 6-1 vote on May 24, still has a bit of a problem. There is no money to pay for it.That little elephant has been in the room from the first day unelected bureaucrats dreamed of a bicycle freeway, magnificent architecture and history be damned.It was always meant to be a tagalong project, not an afterthought, more like a might-as-well. There is no money to pay for rebuilding Summit end to end. That was already in the cards at a price of about $100 million. The bike trail, the might-as-well, is another $12 million or so that also doesn’t exist.In other words, the $12 million that doesn’t exist is to be tacked onto the $100 million that doesn’t exist.So why build it?Because we have placed in positions of authority a majority of modern DFLers — not your father’s or Hubert Humphrey’s DFL — who have no idea of financial reality, no sense of disciplined budgeting and no intention of e...Keenan Anderson, zapped with LAPD stun gun in Venice, died of cocaine use, enlarged heart, coroner says

A man who died after police used a stun gun on him during his arrest in Venice was killed by an enlarged heart and cocaine use, the Los Angeles County Department of Medical Examiner-Coroner said Friday.Keenan Darnell Anderson, 31, died on Jan. 3 after police responded to a traffic crash and found Anderson exhibiting what they described as "erratic behavior."Los Angeles Police Department officers used a stun gun on Anderson several times after they claim he was initially compliant, but then fled officers and resisted when he was captured.He went into cardiac arrest and died at a hospital, police said.While the coroner attributed the death of the father and high school teacher to cocaine use and an enlarged heart (also known as cardiomyopathy), officials noted that "the manner of death is undetermined."Anderson's death renewed criticism of the LAPD, and in the days following Anderson's death, his cousin, Black Lives Matter cofounder Patrisse Cullors, joined family and friends to prote...Ashanti and JaRule headline 'I love RnB’ festival in Long Beach
