Q. I have long enjoyed your articles. I am in my second year of being a full commission salesman and wanted to get your advice. When I make an onsite call or pick up the 500 pound phone and call the customer, I feel like I am begging for work… asking the headmaster for another cup of gruel. I know this isn't healthy and I genuinely believe my product is of great quality and valuable to the customer.
I get very anxious and apprehensive, first, to pickup the phone, then, to call the customer and try to wade through my nervousness and then try to act confident to get the sale. I work out of a home office separated from the main office which is about two hours away. I can call down and talk to the owner or my production manager for a pep talk or product updates. My challenge, I guess, is self confidence and conviction.
A. Ah…call reluctance. We've all been there. There is not a sales person alive who hasn't, at some time or another, felt the same things you are feeling.
Congratulations on taking the first step. You've recognized the problem and correctly diagnosed that the issue lies within yourself. I'm not so sure that conviction is an issue. You've indicated that you are convinced that your product is of great quality and valuable to the customer. So, I expect that conviction is not the problem.
The issue is your thoughts and feelings. If you can somehow gain control of those, you'll control your reluctance, you'll make more calls and you'll make them more effectively. Your results will improve, you'll make more money, enjoy life more, and maybe even retire early to a home in the Caribbean!
It does come down to working with yourself, managing your thoughts and emotions. Sooner or later, almost every sales problem comes down to this. You recognize, of course, that it is your responsibility to manage your thoughts and emotions. Accepting that responsibility is the next positive step to take.
So, you've diagnosed the problem, and it is you. You've accepted the responsibility to change you, and you've bought into the idea that you can, and should, do so.
Now, the question is how. There are a variety of specific techniques you can try to gain control. Keep experimenting with these different ideas until you find a combination that provides you the control that you want.
The first set of techniques is based on this premise: The reason you are so reluctant is because you are allowing negative thoughts to occupy your mind. The negative thoughts paralyze your actions. So, the key is to eliminate the negative thoughts. You do this, not by focusing on the negative, but rather by substituting positive thoughts. Here are several proven techniques.
1. Commit to a life's purpose. Create a specific, detailed statement of your purpose in life. Clarify that. Then post that in front of your work station. See each day's work, and each set of phone calls, as a means to a much more important end. Focus on achieving your purpose, and the small things will fall into line.
2. Focus on a specific and powerful objective. This is similar to the technique discussed above, only with a smaller focus. It's not your life's purpose that provides you emotional power and strength; it's some annual or short term objective. Create a written statement of exactly what you want to achieve or acquire. Maybe a new car. Set a deadline.
3. Visualize that objective. Picture it and put it in front of you in your work station. Now, consider your day's activities to be minor steps in the process of achieving that objective. It's not about this phone call; it's about doing what you need to do to achieve your objective. Focus on the objective, and allow it to overpower any negative thoughts that may enter your mind.
4. Put in positive thoughts. Somewhere along the line you have picked up a number of negative thoughts that occupy your mind. One way to get rid of them is to push them out of your mind by substituting positive thoughts. Search out a number of positive thoughts and write them down. I have used quotes from legendary teachers – like Shakespeare, and positive quotes from the Bible. Here's an example, "If God can be for you, who can be against you?" Now, read that group of thoughts to yourself before you start every day, at every break, at the end of the day, and every time you feel yourself getting negative. In a few weeks, you'll find yourself thinking positive, not negative thoughts.
5. Picture success and what it brings. This is a variation of number two, above. Picture yourself having a great day. Lots of sales, wonderful calls, positive things happening. Now, enjoy the feeling. Relish it. Investigate it. Really, thoroughly, experience how it feels to have a successful day. Now, every day, in the morning before you begin, and several times throughout the course of the day, bring up those feelings. Work toward creating them every day. Focus on how it feels to be successful, not the negative thoughts that have occupied you.
The second set of practices is based on a more behavioral approach. This approach skips over the "thoughts and feelings" part of you, and focuses on your action. Here are a few specific techniques to implement these kinds of techniques:
6. Give yourself specific activity numbers and specific rewards. Set a daily objective. Let's say something like 20 successful conversations with customers. Then attach a short term, specific reward to the attainment of that objective. When you attain it, for example, you could give yourself one hole of golf to be played that weekend. So, you're working to reward yourself with a round of golf. You do it by focusing on your behavior.
7. Line up your calls, and discipline yourself to make another call immediately after you hang up from the first one. So, for example, you set up a list of 20 calls. As soon as you hang up from one, you dial the next with absolutely no time between. The time between is time to think, and that has not been positive for you. So you manage your behavior to focus on the things you need to do, and not allow the thoughts to intervene.
8. Make a warm call first. Call your production manager, boss, or customer service person first, before you make any cold calls. That gives you a warm and fuzzy feeling, makes you feel like someone really does want to talk to you. Then, immediately jump into the cold call list. Focus on the behavior.
Finally, there are a couple of techniques that fall somewhere between these two approaches.
9. Use positive affirmations. Write a group of statements about yourself that are positive and specific, and relate to the task at hand. Things like "I have a warm and confident presence on the phone." "I look forward to every contact I make." These statements reflect who you would like to become, and are not necessarily reflections of reality. Then, read those affirmations to yourself repeatedly, every day, several times a day. Eventually, you come to believe them. And, eventually, you live up to your beliefs about yourself.
10. Learned optimism. This is a specific set of techniques that arise out of the research of Martin Seligman, PhD. I'd refer you to his landmark book, "Learned Optimism", to read the very powerful techniques for self-management.
Every sales person has to come to grips with his greatest enemy and most powerful asset – his/her mind. That often means we need to create disciplines to help us manage ourselves – mentally and emotionally. As you acquire these disciplines, you mature as a sales person, and learn to manage yourself to exceptional performance.

If you thought this swank Vasant Vihar nightclub served just food and drinks, look again. A MiD DAY sting operation reveals it's a pick-up jointIf you have money to spare and plan to have a good time, head for Vasant Vihar this evening, where some popular nightclubs can get you both wine and women at reasonable rates with room for negotiation. All this, provided you have no qualms in breaking the law. Kiss don't tell: A grab from the MiD DAY sting videoShows glimpses of the clandestine sex racket at a popular South Delhi nightclubVasant Vihar is considered one of the most upscale neighbourhoods in the Capital; it's a favourite hangout zone for youngsters. However, as night falls, there is a perceptible change in the ambience. Footfalls recede and cliques take over. You can see groups of girls, decked up in a manner with little room for modesty, walking down the lanes. MiD DAY tried to delve deeper into the veiled existence of these creatures of the night. Join the frayTwo of our undercover reporters carried out a sting operation at one such discotheque named 'Bacchus' located in the Vasant Vihar main market. Though the signboard of the pub is prominently displayed on the front side of the building, the entrance is from the rear end. When our reporters tried to enter, they were stopped by three to four men standing nearby. "Rs 1500 each lagenge (you have to pay Rs 1500 each)," said one of the bouncers, holding one of the reporters by the arm.After some bargaining, they allowed us a discount of 30 per cent. The duo paid Rs 2000 as cover charges, which entitled them to drinks worth Rs 800. However no receipts were issued. When our reporters asked for one, another man standing nearby said: "Everything here is verbal. We don't give anything in written. If you don't have trust on us, you may go."Finally the reporters agreed to go in, taking their word. They were escorted by one of the men to the entrance of the discotheque located on the second floor of the building. On the way, the escort made a lucrative offer. "If you want, I can provide you drinks worth Rs 1500, but you will have to pay Rs 500 more for that." After negotiations, he agreed to increase the limit to Rs 1200 against payment of Rs 300 more.Inside trackWhen the two reporters entered the club they were asked to take a seat. After a few minutes the man who had escorted them in, arrived with a piece of paper with Rs 1200 written on it. He handed over the slip and retraced his steps to the entrance.A cursory glance is enough to reveal the kind of business run from the place. Both locals as well as foreign nationals frequent the joint. At one corner, a gang of 15-20 Nigerians were huddled together while another section was occupied by a group of 20-30 local girls. A bunch of foreign girls and transsexuals were sitting in another corner of the pub. As the drinks flowed, things started happening. People who had had a few pints were offering drinks to the girls which were readily accepted. Some more liquor and the folks started getting more intimate. But everything has a price. The girls were seen bargaining with the men as relationships progressed one step at a time. Our reporters also offered a drink to one of the foreign girls sitting there. However, she refused instantly. On insisting a bit more she agreed to have a bottle. Further conversation revealed that she is from Tashkent, the capital of Uzbekistan, and is a regular visitor to the club. While one of the reporters was busy extracting details, the other observed a man in his late twenties approaching a Nigerian. After a minute of conversation, he was directed to go to another Nigerian sitting at a different table. There he handed over a Rs 500 note and was directed to the previous guy, who took out a small packet from his pocket and passed it on. This was supposedly some kind of hard drugs popular with Indian customers here. Going rateOthers were already in high spirits and could be seen dancing with the girls. When one of reporters asked a girl, who was sitting alone at a table, for a dance, she immediately asked for Rs 500, which again was negotiable. When asked what protocol was to be followed during the dance she promptly said: "You can touch my body while dancing but just for 10 minutes. If you want, the time can be extended later, but only after paying Rs 200 more. If you want to take me out for a ride, it will cost you Rs 3000." However, the reporter rejected this offer and moved on from there.By this time the first reporter had managed to win the confidence of the foreign girl sitting next to him. She agreed to go with him but was ready with some riders. "I will go only if you pay me for the whole night. My charges are Rs 10,000 to be paid in advance, and you can have intercourse with me only twice and that too only at my place." Once again negotiations began. Sticking to all her other conditions, the girll agreed to reduce her full night charge to Rs 8000 which the reporter rejected. Giving up, she immediately moved to a nearby table where two Sikhs were sitting together. Bargaining began again.As closing time approached, the number of girls inside started reducing steadily. But all of them had someone or the other to drop them off.Rs 10,000 Amount charged by girls at the club for 'one night'Rs 1,500 Entry fee per person at the pub(all charges are negotiable)
"If we found any customer doing anything wrong we will take immediate action. But if we aren't aware, then how can we do anything? It's good that MiD DAY exposed the miscreants but our bar is situated in a posh area and high profile people often visit us. We have been running a successful business for the last 10 years. We will kick out each and every miscreant immediately."- Pradip Vij, owner, Bacchus
This nightclub is not the only one in the area that is in the 'business'. Other establishments are clandestinely carrying out this trade allegedly with the help of local policemen. The discotheque, where MiD DAY carried out the sting, is located barely 200 metres from the nearest police post.DCP (south) HGS Dhaliwal was not available for comments. When contacted, a local police officer said on the condition of anonymity that if anything suspicious is found at the joint then action will be taken.
The person who is in the business of prostitution can face a legal action and a FIR under section 372 of IPC. For the purposes of this section "illicit intercourse" means sexual intercourse between persons not united by marriage or by any union or tie which, though not amounting to a marriage, is recognised by the personal law or custom of the community to which they belong or, where they belong to different communities, of both such communities, as constituting between them a quasi -marital relation.

SFBC Biker BulletinSeptember 21, 2004Howard St Bike Lanes Striped This Week!We have great news for everyone who bikes through South of Market - the City has begun striping the new Howard Street bike lane extension between Fremont & Fifth Streets, and should be done any day now! This comes after two years of work by SFBC members to extend the bike lanes originally striped on Howard St in 2002, which run from 5th to 11th Streets. Thanks in part to SFBC members like you, who wrote, called & faxed their elected officials, the Howard St Bike Lane Extension passed the Board of Supervisors unanimously in late August. The Department of Parking & traffic deserves kudos as well for their work on this bike lane project. We're now one step closer to a complete citywide bicycle infrastructure, the SFBC's biggest goal... but our work's not done yet! The next bike lane up for a vote is the Folsom Street Extension, which would bring bike lanes past Rainbow Grocery to 14th Street. Please take a moment today to thank your Supervisor for voting YES on Howard St, and to encourage them to vote YES on the Folsom Street Bike Lane Extension, too! TAKE ACTION TODAY! ----> SEND A FREE "thank you" FAX to your Supervisor! Let them know two things: (1) you're grateful for the Howard St Extension, and (2) you hope that they will also vote YES on the Folsom St Bike Lane Extension. You can quickly send a note of support in your own words here: https://www.sfbike.org/?howard ---> VOLUNTEER! SFBC volunteers will be spreading the word about extending the Folsom St bike lanes at the Folsom St Fair this Sunday... volunteer for a shift today! Contact Michael at email@example.com or 431-2453x21 for details. Volunteer At Folsom St FairEvery year, about 300,000 people come to the Folsom St Fair to celebrate a culture is as big on community service as it is on naughty fun. The SFBC is providing coat check & free valet bike parking services on 9th Street at Harrison. We'll also be getting the word out about extending the Folsom St Bike Lanes. Volunteer at the SFBC booth and put yourself in the center of the action! Costumes and creative attire are highly encouraged, of course - this is a great chance to show off what biking has done for your legs! To be a part of this year's event, contact Michael at 431-2453x21 or firstname.lastname@example.com Does The Mayor Ride A Bike?"I do [ride a bicycle], but I barely get to walk around now. I'm always being driven around, 15 minutes late, everywhere I go. That's the burden of being a mayor, but this is a great bicycling city. We're trying to make bicycling more accessible as a part of our day-to-day lives as San Franciscans as well, with our bike plan and our bike network and re-striping the streets. The backdrop of this event is so spectacular, and I think it's a great asset for a bike race in general." -- Mayor Gavin Newsom, answering the question of whether he rides a bike, in "Velonews" magazine, after this year's T-Mobile International bike race in San Francisco. For the full interview see http://www.velonews.com/news/fea/6959.0.html Kryptonite Responds To Bike Lock CrisisKryptonite corporation announced on Friday that they will provide product upgrades for bike locks purchased since September 2002 and a "sizeable rebate" to those purchased prior to that. See http://www.sfbike.org/ulocks for the entire statement. Details about the program will be available on Wednesday, September 22nd on their web site, http://www.kryptonite.com All exchanges and upgrades will be handled through existing dealers. We have not heard any information from other companies who manufacture this type of lock, but we'll let you know when we have more information. SFBC members responded quickly to this crisis, distributing special flyers to cyclists about the security breach, posting information on our web site, and contacting media outlets with the message that u-locks aren't the only things that are broken- we also need to fix police response to bike theft, address the lack of secure bicycle parking, and increase the number of bikestations in the Bay Area. Also, we recommend taking the time to record your bike's serial number and take photos of your bike -- both of which you should keep it in a safe place, as well as on your person - that way you can provide the information to police immediately after a theft while the bike may still be in the area. For more information about how to ensure your bike is kept safe, visit http://www.sfbike.org/?theft Free Tickets To Madcat Film FestivalWe're proud to support the MadCat Women's International Film Festival, which exhibits independent and experimental films and videos directed by women from around the globe. Screenings began on September 14th and continues through October 3rd. Get more information on each program & locations (and join the MadCat email announcement list) at http://www.madcatfilmfestival.org The SFBC is proud to sponsor "Home Sweet Home" (MadCat Program #5), on Tuesday, September 21st, which is chock full of riveting documentaries that chronicle the lives of communities and individuals as they navigate their search for new homes. This program includes "Jam," an observational documentary about people who are stuck in a seemingly never-ending traffic jam. Enjoy a free BBQ before the screening at the El Rio, starting at 6:30 at 3158 Mission St @ Precita. After the free grub, grab a drink & snuggle with your honey under the stars on the El Rio back terrace, where MadCat is screening their program. Bring a blanket! Want FREE tickets to this screening? We're looking for 2 volunteers to staff a small SFBC table & circulate our Waterfront Bike Route petition before the show. This is a great thing to do with a friend. If you're interested, contact Michael at 431-2453x21 or firstname.lastname@example.com Stand Up For Bike Rights On Bridges!The latest news for bikes on Bay Area bridges is not good, reports the Bay Area Bicycle Coalition (BABC), which represents local bike coalitions on regional issues. Plans for bike access on the Richmond-San Rafael Bridge have stalled, there is no funding allocated yet for a west span bike path on the Bay Bridge, the bike shuttle across the Benicia-Martinez Bridge has been discontinued, and the newly opened Carquinez Bridge is closed to cyclists at night due to "terrorism" concerns. What's going on here? It's time to demand answers from local leaders. Cyclists pay taxes to build and maintain these bridges- why aren't we getting equal access? Please write to the Bay Conservation & Development Commission and point out that cyclists do more than their fair share to reduce traffic congestion and air pollution. Ask for full access on all Bay Area Bridges, including dusk-to-dawn access to the Carquinez Bridge (just like the Golden Gate Bridge), the restoration of the Benicia-Martinez Bridge Bike Shuttle, and a renewed look at a bikes on the Richmond-San Rafael Bridge. Send your letters to:
Bay Conservation and Development Commission For background and sample letters, you can view the letters sent from the Bay Area and East Bay Bicycle Coalitions at: http://www.bayareabikes.org/documents/BCDC%202letters%203bridges%20roster.pdf After-School Bike Programs Seek Your HelpThe SFBC is coordinating with the YMCA and Beacon Center to run three after school programs for middle school students, focusing on getting more kids riding in SF - safety and skills are the main themes. We are excited about this program and need your help! * Volunteers * : Want to help teach kids how to ride? Help with neighborhood rides? Have an afternoon to spare? The programs run everyday from 3:30-5:30 at 3 different SF schools; any assistance is helpful (from a single afternoon to weekly volunteering). * Bike Mechanics * : We've fixed up a lot of donated bikes for the kids, but need a little more help to finish off the job! There's 10 more bikes in need of love, donated from the Police department. We're looking for folks who know how to fix bikes and are available either in the evenings this week or next, or this Sat. all day (repairs will be done at an SFBC member's house in the Mission). If you can help with anything described above, email or call Susan Silber at email@example.com or 510-558-0821. Tube Times Folding Party This Week!Yes, it's time for another issue of the SFBC's bimonthly print newsletter to hit mailboxes all over town.

I really had two moments of glory in my eighth grade football season, and one of those was sketchy at best.
The first took place in the last game of the regular season. For reasons of pity more than ability, coach decided that I would start at defensive end that game. Now when you've been a backup all year and your team is coming off a great year, and suddenly you're thrust into the starting spot, your first thought is "Lord, help me to not give up any game losing plays." Not exactly oozing confidence.
Now the assignment for defensive ends at the grade school level was pretty straight forward. Box the ends and keep the plays from going outside. It was that simple. Every down, box the ends. So there I am boxing the ends and doing a decent job of it. The exception being on one particular "sweep" to my side of the ball where I was pancaked by two blockers who were running interference for the tail back. I remember getting up and spitting dirt out of my mouth. It was humiliating. As I went back to the huddle, our linebacker complimented me on breaking up the interference. It showed how no effort was overseen on this team and made the hurt easier to bear. It didn't do much for the dirt in my mouth guard however.
The moment of glory came on a pass play on the next possession. The opposing quarterback had a secondary pass receiver on my side of the field. Either the quarterback did not see me or underestimated my speed because I anticipated his throw and jumped in front of the ball and picked it off. I was tackled almost immediately, so any thoughts of doing an end zone dance were quickly vanquished.
As I returned to the sidelines, I was so busy being mobbed by my teammates that I missed the cheerleaders saying "Jim, Jim he's our man, if he can't do it, no one can!" Superstar for a play I think they call it.
The other thirty seconds of fame I had in my brief young football career took place a couple of weeks later in the City Championship game. As it would be, I was back to my role as a backup. The upside to this was that the coach usually put the benchwarmers on special teams, so I got to do kickoff duty for the big game.
The game was a close affair. We had just scored a touchdown in the second half to go up by seven points. On the ensuing kickoff I ran down the field at full speed despite the kick being to the opposite side of where I was lined up. The kick returner fielded the ball and started up the field. He avoided the first and second wave of tacklers. Now all he had to beat were a couple of guys like me from the opposite side who were pursuing him from behind, and he would score.
As I chased the guy valiantly, I saw one of his blockers coming at me from my left side. Judging from the angle he was coming at me, I figured his only chance to hit me would be to block me in the side or back. I don't know if I consciously turned my shoulder when he finally laid his block on me, but I must have done a convincing job of flopping to warrant the penalty flag that the referee threw as a result.
The runner continued into the end zone much to his teams delight. They celebrated with
great zeal in the end zone, apparently unaware of the yellow flag I had drawn. A minute later the referee had nullified the touchdown and the celebrating turned to groans of despair. Our defense went out and kept them from scoring and we went on to win the game.
Was this my proudest moment on the gridiron? Of course not. No one should have to claim that they helped win the game by getting blocked badly by an opponent. Unfortunately rules are rules and both teams have to abide by them. The fact that I remember the play is actually kind of sad in a way. However, when you don't have a ton of ESPN highlight moments to draw from, you have to capitalize on the few contributory plays you may have made throughout the season, and this was one of mine.

While you may not be the flashiest person, your perfectionist tendencies will help you be the best sort of team player. Stress is possible between forces that want to micromanage and forces that want to work independently. Mutual respect for the other's ability will be necessary in order to get along. An unexpected event can introduce innovative methods and technological advances. Take time to thoroughly learn any new machine or method. Sales and marketing efforts can be successful.

Subwoofers do bass, it's their thing. That's easy enough to understand, but even if you've picked out a great sub, there's no guarantee you'll wind up with great bass in your room.
Why's that you ask? Room acoustics are tricky to understand, and picking the right spot for the sub is key. I've covered this before in my Subwoofer Setup Guide blog, but this time I'd like to take a different approach--using two or more subs to smooth out bass-busting room anomalies.

Now that nearly every popular online music store is selling a la carte tracks in the unprotected MP3 format, it's high time to clean house and convert those legally-acquired-yet-unfortunately-DRM-saddled WMAs. Maybe you don't want to depend on the parent company continuing to back up the licenses going forward, or perhaps you shunned the iPod years ago but the appeal of the 3G iPhone is far more alluring...or maybe you just want all your music in one, universally-supported format. No matter what the reasons, conversion from a protected format to an unprotected one takes some effort. There are … Read more
This post is part of a multi-part series about tech abroad.
It's summertime and that means that people across the world are taking vacations to faraway places. Many people would be satisfied with checking in on their e-mail every couple of weeks, for five minutes, at an Internet cafe while on vacation. Techies like me, however, crave a higher level of contact with their information online. You may not be as much of a power user as Robert Scoble, however the world keeps moving even though you are abroad.Everyone knows to bring power adapters to hook up their electronics, but here are some tips that you may not have considered, that I have gathered during my stay in Europe so far.
1. Free Wi-Fi is scarce, take advantage when you can. You may luck out and land at a hotel or hostel where they provide free Internet, but most of the time you are going to have to pay or go without access. Orange is a popular provider of paid W-iFi in Europe, for reasonable prices (15 euros for 10 hours). They have a lot of hotspots, but you are going to want to watch your time and not go overboard there. Some cafes will have free Wi-Fi and usually advertise it on a sticker in their window. For a more casual setting, the McDonald's, on the Champs Elysses in Paris, has free Wi-Fi to go with your Royale with Cheese. Some public places, such as the parks by Notre Dame and the Eiffel Tower, also provide access.
If and when you find free Wi-Fi access, jump over to Google Reader and download your RSS items with its offline Google Gears functionality. If you take the couple of seconds to do this, you can catch up on your news even when you're not basking in the glow of free Wi-Fi.
2. With that said, bring your Wi-Fi enabled phone. iPhone users take note, a quick download of your emails onto your phone saves you a lot of trouble of lugging a laptop around. This helps you to leverage the scarce free Wi-Fi to the best of your ability. While you will benefit greatly from having Wi-Fi on your phone, remember to turn off data roaming, or else you will rack up a massive bill during your trip.

"When you know something's not right, get out," she says. "Don't linger." To this day, Sarah says she has mixed emotions about Katie. "Some days I'm angry, and other days, I feel sorry for her," she says. "I feel sorry that she led such a horrible life to feel that she needed this child to love her or for whatever reason that she'd be so desperate to take the life of someone else." Thanks to her maternal instincts, Sarah gave birth to a healthy baby girl, McKaila Grace, on February 16, 2005. She has also written a book about her frightening ordeal, Saving Grace. |

Back rubs earn Hooksett substitute teacher a walk out the door
The seventh-grade substitute teacher at Hooksett's Cawley Middle School was walked out of the building Jan. 31 after touching students in "too familiar" a manner, according to district officials. School officials did not identify the teacher or say if it was a man or a woman.
The school's principal, Matthew Benson, called the reported behavior "not acceptable" in a letter sent home to parents Feb. 1, adding that it was "inconsistent with the behavior we expect from adults in a school environment."
The letter did not otherwise elaborate on the nature of the incident, but according to a parent who spoke off the record, the substitute had been approaching students from behind while they were studying and giving them back and shoulder rubs.
The substitute teacher was immediately and permanently removed from the building once school officials were notified of the incident.
Superintendent Dr. Charles P. Littlefield and the Hooksett Police Department were also notified immediately.
A Safe Schools report was filed with the department on Feb. 1.
It does not appear that any charges will be pressed, though no official word has been offered on the matter. Hooksett Police have not issued a press release on the incident, and inquiries on the incident made to the department were deferred to School Resource Officer Gary Blanchette, who did not return calls.
The letter from Benson did note, however, that he had spoken with all parents and students involved in the incident, and he believed that school officials had "brought closure to the matter."
Benson declined to comment on the issue, deferring to the SAU office. Littlefield was not available for comment.

UPDATE 1-Speculators turn bullish on U.S. 10-year notes -CFTC
- Tweet
- Share this
NEW YORK, June 7 (Reuters) - Speculators in the latest week turned bullish on U.S. 10-year Treasury note futures after weaker-than-expected factory data pared worries the Federal Reserve might reduce its bond purchases later this year, Commodity Futures Trading Commission data showed on Friday.
The amount of bullish, or long, positions in 10-year Treasury futures from speculators exceeded bearish, or short, positions by 19,684 contracts on June 4, according to the CFTC's latest Commitments of Traders data.
There were 35,505 more speculative shorts in 10-year note futures than longs a week earlier. That was the most speculative net shorts in 10-year T-notes since March 12, when they totaled 57,346.
September 10-year Treasury futures fell 25/32 to 129 on Friday, while the yield on cash 10-year Treasury notes rose 9 basis points to 2.168 percent, according to Reuters data.
On Monday, the Institute for Supply Management said its index on U.S. manufacturing activity fell to its lowest in four years in May, suggesting the economy might be slowing and requiring high levels of stimulus from the U.S. central bank.
But a mildly better-than-expected payroll report for May released on Friday rekindled concerns the economy might be strong enough for the Fed to consider scaling back its bond purchases as soon as the third quarter, analysts said. Investors sold bonds in reaction to the latest jobs report.
Worries about the Fed paring its $85 billion monthly purchases of Treasuries and mortgage-backed securities have spurred selling in U.S. Treasuries in recent weeks. U.S. Treasury yields jumped to 13-month-plus highs last week.
Speculators also turned more bullish on medium- and longer-dated Treasury maturities before the jobs data, but raised their bearish bets on shorter maturities, according to the latest weekly CFTC Commitments of Traders figures.
Speculative long trades in five-year Treasury note futures exceeded short positions by 140,929 contracts, up 83,226 from the prior week.
Speculators turned net long in 30-year bond futures by 2,369 contracts on Tuesday, compared with a net short total of 27,251 contracts from a week earlier.
The net shorts in "ultra" long T-bond futures shrank slightly by 887 contracts to 30,584 in the latest week.
However, speculators' short positions in two-year T-note futures exceeded their longs by 33,608 contracts on Tuesday. A week earlier, they held 17,580 more shorts in two-year T-notes than longs.

Target's new year is off to a rocky start.
In its first financial release since the December breach that enabled the theft of millions of customers' payment data, Target said profits fell 46 percent and that the breach had already cost the retailer $17 million. The final tally will be bigger, the company said, but it's unclear by how much.
The results don't surprise retail analysts, but they signal the onset of a rough year for one of the nation's biggest retailers while the industry is already facing setbacks. The extreme winter weather, weak holiday sales, sluggish labor market and low consumer confidence have hit most retailers' profits.
Target had the added burden of dealing with the breach in the midst of the critical holiday season. Sales nose-dived once news of the attack broke a week before Christmas. Target tried to pacify customers and salvage its sales by offering customers an extra 10 percent discount. But that wasn't enough, and the company lowered its earnings estimate in a January update to investors, citing the breach announcement.
Target said it couldn't provide an estimate of how much the breach would cost because of an ongoing government investigation.
"Regardless of the ultimate dollar amounts, we have the financial strength to move beyond these near-term impacts," John Mulligan, Target's chief financial officer, said in a call with investors Wednesday.
While the quarterly decline looks like a blip next to the big-box retailer's $73 billion annual sales, analysts say Target has a long way to go before it's out of the woods. Even after the immediate fallout from a data breach subsides, companies face costs that eat into their profits for years, according to industry observers. When the scale of the attack is as large as the Target one - up to 110 million customers' records were stolen - the price tag is higher.
More important, companies have to rebuild shoppers' faith in their brands, which is never an easy task.
On a recent snowy afternoon in the Target at Prince George's Plaza in Hyattsville, Md., it was business as usual. A lunchtime crowd milled around the store, and many customers used cards to pay for purchases. But shoppers weren't immune to the effects of the breach.
Mayelin and Jatnna Jimenez, both victims of the payment card theft, said they had changed the way they shopped at Target. Mayelin said she hadn't bought anything at the store since the holidays, while her sister said she used cash to pay for her purchase that afternoon. Both had been issued new cards by their banks, they said.
"We love Target, but we are disappointed," Mayelin Jimenez said.
Freda Miller was more optimistic. Miller said she was also affected by the data breach and was concerned about the security of payment systems. But she continued using her card to shop at the store, she said.
"I trust Target will stand by its customers," she said.
The hacking attacks on Target, Neiman Marcus and other retailers have triggered debates in Washington about data security practices, the country's outdated payment technology system and breach notification laws.
For Target, they have also unleashed a litany of costs that include legal fees, software updates, customer reimbursement and damage control. An exact figure is tricky to pin down, security experts say, but it won't be small. So far, the company has had to pay out $61 million in relation to the breach, of which it expects $44 million to be covered by insurance.
"They can't get out of this for less than $100 million," said John Kindervag, vice president and principal analyst at Forrester Research.
If an ongoing government investigation finds Target at fault for not complying with industry-specific security standards, the company faces fines in the range of $400 million to $1.1 billion, according to an estimate by Jefferies, an equity research company. That figure did not include lost sales or customer goodwill, the firm said. Banks foot the bill for reissuing customers new cards, but Target could end up paying part of that share depending on its agreement with financial institutions, experts say.
To understand how much the retailer stands to lose, analysts point to the 2007 attack that hit TJX, the parent company of T.J. Maxx and Marshall's. Hackers stole the payment data of more than 45 million customers by exploiting an unsecured wireless network. TJX's initial estimates put the damage at about $25 million, but once the dust settled, the company ended up paying more than $250 million. That probably means Target's troubles are just beginning.
"I doubt that we'll ever really know the full costs," said Kindervag.
Target reported net earnings of $520 million in the fourth quarter, down 46 percent from a year ago. For the full year, revenue was down more than 34 percent, while sales fell 6.6 percent during the fourth quarter. The company's share price was up more than 7 percent in morning trading Wednesday.

HL20: Aaron Shirley, MD—Driving Force Behind Health Houses
"The Iranian experience was the driving force for pursuing HealthConnect," which Shirley says he started about two-and-a-half years ago. HealthConnect is designed, in part, to reduce admissions and emergency department visits at the Central Mississippi Medical Center in Jackson.
In Mississippi, there is the same "general population and similar disparities," Shirley says of the Iranian communities. "You translate the 2,000 people in a neighborhood of a rural city or town, and you've got the same problems." After seeing the Iranian model in action, Shirley says he thought: "Why couldn't we have the same model here? It proved effective there."
His goal is to open 15 health houses in the Delta Region north of Jackson. To date two health houses have opened in schools. "We said, 'Wow, these schools are located in the village; we got a roof, windows, electricity, now let's train community health workers in that school space," Shirley recalls.
A hallmark of the Iranian system is that the healthcare workers are part of the community they serve. Shirley says the school locations provide the neighborhood connections that are particularly important in the Delta Region where a patient may have the best of intentions to follow doctor's orders, but may lack the resources to do so. That's not something a person might be comfortable confiding to a physician, he explains, but community health workers are from the Delta and more likely to be aware of a patient's personal situation.

Get ready for the season of drunken moose. As ripe fruit falls from the trees and ferments on the ground, it is time for some of Sweden's most majestic wild animals to act in a most un-regal manner. One home owner east of Stockholm, the capital, has already been confronted by a mob of boozed-up moose. The five animals, feasting on rotten windfalls, "were threatening" and refused to let him into his garden. "Sensibly enough the (moose) left the scene when police arrived," writes Albin Näverberg on Stockholm police's website. To prevent further moose booze-binges the home owner, who lives in Värmdö, east of Stockholm, was advised to remove the apples from his yard. "The (moose) will have to get drunk somewhere else," writes Näverberg.
The New Jersey Devils have placed Johan Hedberg on unconditional waivers today and he will be subjected to a compliance buy out. This short post is a reaction to the news.
The New Jersey Devils struggled to score but they weren't all that great at stopping pucks either. A look at the 2013 class of impending UFA goaltenders shows that the Devils could improve in net - if they want to buy out one of their two goalies.
Johan Hedberg had a terrible save percentage in 2013, but after reviewing all 51 goals allowed, he didn't gave up many more soft goals and got victimized more compared to his other two seasons as a New Jersey Devil. Still, is he worth keeping around?

Is My Boyfriend's Mom Hitting On Me?, Part 4
Dear 4-Way,
I think my boyfriend's mom might be hitting on me. She's single and modern, but not openly dating women. However, I notice that every time I'm in her company, she goes out of her way to give me a back rub, or say something cute about my breasts. I think it would horrify my boyfriend if I suggested such a preposterous idea, but it's really getting to the point where I dread time that I have to be in her presence. I don't want to assume wrongly, but I'm not sure how to be graceful about the situation, either.—SV
The straight man's perspective: Chris Kennedy
Mama Mia, I got a problem with how this woman is acting. So, SV, does Ms. Robinson make it a point to say this stuff to you when her boy's not around? Because if that's the case, things are even worse.
I hope you have a good enough relationship with your boyfriend to say something like, "Oh my gosh, your mom mentioned she liked my breasts. And the other day she gave me a back rub, what's the deal? Is she usually like this or what?" You're simply relaying her actions, not judging them. Let him judge them and decide the best action to take. He knows her better than you. Maybe this is her MMO: Mother's Modus Operandi.
Let's be clear, you mentioning this to him is not what's horrifying, his mother's behavior is. Cut to the Good Will Hunting scene where Robin Williams' character repeatedly says to Matt Damon's character, "It's not your fault. It's not your fault. It's not your fault." Damon's character weeps. (Didn't we all?)
Anyway, you're understandably uncomfortable, and your boyfriend's mom needs to stop her inappropriate behavior.
There's an interesting gender thing going on here too. If it were your boyfriend's dad, it would clearly be wrong because he's a man commenting on your breasts and that's creepy. You probably wouldn't be as hesitant to say something about it. There's something more forgivable in a woman saying it, right? Less threatening perhaps, but not really. It's unacceptable for either gender and you gotta say something to your boyfriend.
Mama Mia better change her ways before she becomes Mama See Ya.

Europeans are basically one big family
University of California, Davis rightOriginal Study
Posted by Andy Fell-UC Davis on
UC DAVIS (US) — Everyone with ancestors from the European continent are likely cousins who share the same family members from about a thousand years ago.
"What's remarkable about this is how closely everyone is related to each other. On a genealogical level, everyone in Europe traces back to nearly the same set of ancestors only a thousand years ago," says study co-author Graham Coop, a professor of evolution and ecology at the University of California, Davis.
"This was predicted in theory over a decade ago, and we now have concrete evidence from DNA data," Coop says, adding that such close kinship likely exists in other parts of the world as well.
Coop and co-author Peter Ralph, now a professor at the University of Southern California, set out to study relatedness among Europeans in recent history, up to about 3,000 years ago. Drawing on the Population Reference Sample (POPRES) database, a resource for population and genetics research, they compared genetic sequences from more than 2,000 individuals. Their findings are reported in the journal PLoS Biology.
As expected, Coop and Ralph found that the degree of genetic relatedness between two people tends to be smaller the farther apart they live. But even a pair of individuals who live as far apart as the United Kingdom and Turkey—a distance of some 2,000 miles—likely are related to all of one another's ancestors from a thousand years ago.
Subtle local differences, which likely mark demographic shifts and historic migrations, exist on top of this underlying kinship, Ralph says. Barriers like mountain ranges and linguistic differences have also slightly reduced relatedness among regions.
Coop noted, however, that these are all relatively small differences. "The overall picture is that everybody is related, and we are looking at only subtle differences between regions," he says.
To learn about these patterns, Ralph and Coop used ideas about the expected amount of genome shared between relatives of varying degrees of relatedness. For example, first cousins have grandparents in common and share long stretches of DNA.
Ralph and Coop looked for shorter blocks of DNA that were shared between cousins separated by many more generations.
Because the number of ancestors doubles with every generation, the chance of having identical DNA in common with more distant relatives quickly drops. But in large samples, rare cases of distant sharing could be detected. With their analysis, Coop and Ralph were able to detect these shared blocks of DNA in individuals spread across Europe, and calculate how long ago they shared an ancestor.
Coop and Ralph hope to continue the work with larger and more detailed databases, including much finer-resolution data on where individuals lived within a country.
However, Coop noted that while studies of genetic ancestry can shed light on history, they do not tell the whole story. Archaeology and linguistics also provide important information about how cultures and societies move and change.
"These studies need to proceed hand in hand, to form a much fuller picture of history," Coop says.
