Box Office: 'Jurassic' Tears Stuffing Out of 'Ted'
Just a second, Pixar. Yeah right, Ted.
"Jurassic World" won the weekend for the third straight time, grossing $54.2 million for a tidy domestic total of $500.1 million. That makes it, after only 17 days, the fifth-highest grossing movie of all time, behind only the Camerons, "The Avengers" and "The Dark Knight."
Adjust for inflation, by the way, and "J-Dub" drops to 54th place, just below "Finding Nemo" and just ahead of "The Towering Inferno." But that ain't bad. The latter was, after all, the No. 1 box-office hit of 1974.
Speaking of: "J-Dub" has now passed Avengers/Ultron to become this year's No. 1 box-office hit. And climbing.
I thought "Inside Out" took a hit for a Pixar movie, dropping 42.4% in its second weekend and finishing second with $52 million; but that's actually the lowest second-weekend Pixar drop since Pete Docter's previous film, "Up," which fell 35% in 2009.
Another by-the-way: Every Pixar movie but "Cars 2" in 2011 has earned more than three times its opening weekend tally, which puts "Inside Out" at least at a $270 million domestic gross. More likely it'll gross between $320 and $360, which would make it the second or third highest-grossing Pixar movie of all time. ("Toy Story 3" is tops at $415.)
Who didn't have a good weekend? "Ted 2." The original opened at $54.4 million in June 2012 on its way to $218 million domestic and $549 worldwide, and sequels should open better; but "Ted 2" opened with just $33 million. Why? Who knows? I don't get why is opened so big three years ago and why it opened so relatively small this weekend. Maybe Seth MacFarlane fans figured he only had one really good talking teddy bear movie in him. Maybe they were put off by "A Million Ways to Die in the West" or "We Saw Your Boobs." Maybe his 15 years are up. No clue.
"Spy" finished the weekend fourth ($7.8 million), then "San Andreas" ($5.2), then "Dope" ($2.8).

Pixar's Back, Baby, But It's Still Jurassic's World
Please exit through the gift shop.
First some background: Only four movies have grossed more than $300 million domestically after 10 days of release. The first three are superhero movies, while the last (and biggest) is this weekend's box-office winner:
- "Avengers: Age of Ultron": $313.4
- "The Dark Knight": $313.7
- "Marvel's The Avengers": $373.0
- "Jurassic World": $398.2
"Jurassic World" fell off only 51% to take in $102 million in its second weekend. Now that it's knocking on $400 million, where will it stop? Probably not before $600 million, which only three films have breached: "Avatar," "Titanic," "Avengers." And might it hit the rare (just "Avatar") $700 million mark?
Of course even then it wouldn't match what "Jurassic Park" did in 1993—if you adjust for inflation. "Jurassic Park" is 16th all-time in that category with $746.4 million. Apparently we like our dinos.
Apparently we also like our Pixar. "Inside Out," the new animated feature from writer-director Pete Docter ("Monsters, Inc.," "Up"), finished second for the week with $91 million. That's the second-best Pixar opening ever, after "Toy Story 3."
We were hungry for good Pixar. Earlier this century we'd been spoiled. In the nine years between 2001 and 2009, Pixar released seven original (that is, non-sequel) films, most of which were not only superlative, they were among the best animated movies ever made:
- 2001: "Monsters, Inc."
- 2003: "Finding Nemo"
- 2004: "The Incredibles"
- 2006: "Cars" (a misfire)
- 2007: "Ratatouille"
- 2008: "Wall-E"
- 2009: "Up"
And since the move to Disney? We've gotten a great sequel ("Toy Story 3"), two lackluster sequels ("Cars 2" and "Monsters University"), and a so-so original ("Brave"). But everyone's loving "Inside Out": 98% on Rotten Tomatoes, raves from everyone I know.
Melissa McCarthy's "Spy" keeps hanging on. It finished in third with $10 mil to bring the total up to $74. "San Andreas" shook out another $8 mil ($132 domestic, $414 worldwide), while the Sundance fave "Dope" opened in 2,000+ theaters and grossed $6 mil for fifth place.
Worldwide, "Jurassic World" is now at $981.3 million even as "Furious 7" and "Avengers/Ultron" have slowed to a crawl.

Did Anyone Predict a $204 Million Opening Weekend for 'Jurassic World'? Short Answer: No
204 million Jurassic dollars can't be wrong.
That's a T-Rex-sized opening all right.
"Jurassic World" had the second-biggest domestic opening of all time (unadjusted) when it pulled in $204 million this weekend. Only "Marvel's Avengers" in 2012 opened bigger: $207 million. Keep in mind: "Jurassic"'s are still estimates; there's a chance it can add another $4 mil on Sunday that wasn't anticipated.
Did anyone see this coming? I certainly didn't. I was sideswiped by it as if by a huge T-Rex.
In its summer box-office predictions, Entertainment Weekly figured "Jurassic" as the No. 2 movie of the summer (after "Avengers/Ultron"), with a domestic total of $295 million. Which "Jurassic" will demolish by next weekend on its way north of $500 million.
Hitfix predicted $300 million and behind both "Avengers" and "Minions."
Vulture figured "Jurassic" for $240 million, behind "Avengers," "Minions" and "Inside Out."
Bloomberg? "$85 million in its debut and $260 million in total in North America."
So no, no one saw this coming.
Even as late as Thursday, EW crossed its fingers for a $125 mil opener.
What a difference a year makes. Last year we didn't get our first $100 million opening until November, and it seemed like the era of the "spectacle film" might be over. But it was just dormant. This year we've already had three $100 million openers and haven't officially hit summer yet. And "Star Wars VII" lies ahead.
The No. 2 movie for the weekend, meanwhile, was Melissa McCarthy's "Spy," which did OK given the circumstances: It fell by only 45% to pull in another $16 mil. But at $56.9 it looks to be the second McCarthy film (after "Tammy") to not hit the $100 mil mark.
The other opener, "Me and Earl and the Dying Girl," took in $210K in 15 theaters.
"Jurassic" also did well internationally, pulling in another $307 million, for a worldwide total of $511 million. That's a big bite.
ADDENDUM: I was right: "Jurassic" did better than anticipated Sunday and its Weekend Actuals made it the top box-office opener of all time with a $208 million weekend. Where she stops, nobody knows.

'Jurassic World' Rules World
I liked the first "Jurassic Park" well enough but not enough to see the sequels, and of this year's potential summer blockbusters this was the one I cared least about. Trailers didn't help. What do you do after all the "Jaws" movies? You make the shark super-smart as in "Deep Blue Sea." What do you do after all the dinosaur-park movies? You make the new dino super-smart. As here.
Anyway, it appears I'm alone in this sentiment. Early reports indicate "Jurassic World," starring Chris Pratt and Ron Howard's daughter, will pull in $162 million in the U.S. this weekend, which would be the fifth-best opening of all time, unadjusted for inflation, behind the two Avengers flicks, the third "Iron Man," and the last "Harry Potter."
The movie also opened well abroad on Wednesday, pulling in $16 mil in a single day in China.
Anyone see it?
For summer slop, beats Transformers anyway.
Pratt can't hold 'em back.

Box Office: Say Goodbye to Vinne Chase, Hello to Melissa McCarthy
Before its characters became self-centered and douchey, and the show celebrated this self-centeredness and douchiness with an obtuseness that was dispiriting, there was a good episode of "Entourage" in which the boys worried over the opening weekend box-office totals of Vinnie Chase's tentpole "Aquaman" movie. Would blackouts on the west coast kill its chances to beat the then-recordholder "Spider-Man"? In the end, it triumphed. Cue: celebration.
I assume "Entourage"'s real-life counterparts aren't doing much celebrating today.
"Entourage" finished in fourth place this weekend with $10.4 million. That's the 33rd-best opening this year (a little below what "The DUFF" did in February) and the 50th-best opening for a TV adaptation ever (a little below what "Dragnet," starring Dan Aykroyd and Tom Hanks, grossed in 1987, unadjusted). So ... not good.
Ah! But didn't "Entourage" really open on Wednesday? So wasn't its opening weekend totals diluted? Wouldn't the Wednesday/Thursday crowd have gone to see it this weekend?
Sure, why not. Let's assume that everyone who saw it those days would've seen it this weekend. That makes its (five-day) weekend box office total $17.8 million. Which is good for ... yeah, the same fourth-place finish.
Either way: So long, Vinnie Chase. We knew ye too well.
The No. 1 box-office hit this weekend was Melissa McCarthy's "Spy," which grossed $30 million on the strength of a 95% Rotten Tomatoes rating and a general love for McCarthy. I wasn't blown away by it, but liked it well enough when it opened the Seattle International Film Festival last month. Of the movies she's headlined, it's a better opening that "Tammy" ($21 mil) but worse than "Identity Thief" ($34). I assume word-of-mouth will be good, the audience will be female-centric, so it will have a long shelf-life. $150 maybe? We'll see.
The second weekend of "San Andreas" slipped 51% to $26 mil for second place. The horror flick "Insidious Chapter 3" finished third with $23 after the usual strong open for horror flicks ($10 mil Friday night). It's also down from the $40 mil opening of the second movie in Sept. 2013. But that one was closer to Halloween.
In limited release (483 theaters), the Brian Wilson biopic, "Love & Mercy," finished in 11th place, grossing $2.2 million. Of the top 11 movies, that's the one I'd recommend seeing. In case anyone's listening. In case it's playing at a theater near you.

Spring Training Gameday 2013: Phillies v. Tigers
Posted by Ian Riccaboni, Tue, March 12, 2013 12:00 PM | Comments: 13
2013 Spring Training
Detroit Tigers vs Philadelphia Phillies
Time: 1:05 pm
Bright House Field – Clearwater, FL
Weather: 68, Thunderstorms
TV: The Comcast Network, home of Phililes Nation TV
Follow Phillies Nation on Twitter
Doc takes the hill in what might be a messy, rainy game against the Tigers.
A couple of emerging trends to keep an eye on: Ben Revere has been the lead-off hitter with J-Rol out, Dom Brown has seemingly settled into left field after beginning the majority of the Spring in right while Darin Ruf has quietly faded into the background, and Yuniesky Betancourt is somewhat surprisingly hitting .360/.379/.400 and now in contention for a utility role with the club, presumably competing for a utility infield role with Freddy Galvis.
Jeremy Horst, Jake Diekman, and Raul Valdes will take the hill following Doc.
1. Revere – CF
2. Frandsen – DH
3. Utley – 2B
4. Howard – 1B
5. Young – 3B
6. Brown – LF
7. Mayberry – RF
8. Kratz– C
9. Betancourt – SS
Go Phillies!

Another scout's radar gun has Halladay velocity at around 84-85. Just gave up grand slam to Peralta.>>
And isn't that just absolutely peachy.

Doc is done. It's a shame. He was a good pitcher for a few years, but it's time to hang it up.

It's a little premature to say he's done until we know more.
Also, "he was a good pitcher for a few years" — if by "good" you mean the "the best", and by "a few years" you mean "the last decade", then I agree.

A phenomenal pitcher for the last decade and always a competitor.
Even though Doc seems confident concerning his rehab from last year's problems, I still contend that there's something wrong with him that that the team doctors are missing and Doc himself likely doesn't recognize.
This exhaustion business is not about laziness or being out of shape – not when we're talking Doc.
And while a drop in velocity is not uncommon for a 35-year-old pitcher (or Spring training in general), I wonder whether the velocity issue is not related to his recent stamina problems.
I just hope to hell it's nothing serious.

I'm not serious but do we have enough depth with Pettibone, Cook, Cloyd, etc to cover? Do we want KK as our 3rd starter?

I'm with Schmenkman on this: we need to know more. Lack of velocity and command are troubling, but it's still spring training.

The concern is that this is the second consecutive spring that Halladay has had serious struggles and declining velocity. He wasn't worried about his spring in 2012 and claimed to be fine physically – then went on to have one of the worst seasons of his career.

LOUISVILLE, Ky. -- The first team in the Sweet 16 is the one nobody thought should even be in the NCAA tournament.
The UCLA Bruins' signature moment before last week was their infamous no-show against Kentucky in December -- a game in which they were outscored 24-0 to start and trailed 41-7 at halftime. A lack of many other big wins left the Bruins with a paper-thin résumé at the end of the season, and a lightning rod for criticism on Selection Sunday.
Yet Steve Alford's team is going to the tournament's second weekend for a second straight year, thanks to a rapidly improved inside-outside attack and some hot shooting from a guy who shares the coach's last name. After surviving against SMU and then blowing the doors off UAB, the No. 11-seed Bruins are one of the biggest surprises in the bracket so far. And they might not be done yet.
Star of the first weekend: Point guard Bryce Alford will always be compared to his dad, and right now he's doing a pretty strong impersonation. The sophomore hit a school tournament-record nine 3-pointers in just 11 attempts in the win over SMU, finishing with nearly half his team's points. UAB made a concerted effort to run Alford off the 3-point line Saturday, but Alford responded by distributing and finding other ways to contribute, finishing with five assists and just two turnovers. He also still managed to score 22 points, giving him 49 in the two games at the KFC Yum! Center. There are few guys left in the tournament you'd want taking a big outside shot in crunch time.
The big moment in Louisville: Of course, UCLA could have made an early exit if not for a call that went in its favor. After giving up a late 19-0 run and falling behind SMU on Thursday, Alford threw up a long 3-pointer over two defenders with 10 seconds left. SMU's Yanick Moreira was called for goaltending. There have been good arguments on both sides whether that call was the correct one, but of course Steve Alford agreed with it. Sometimes you need some breaks to move on in this tournament, and credit the Bruins for taking full advantage of it.
What's next: UCLA heads to Houston in the South Regional, where it will take on Gonzaga, which beat the Bruins 87-74 in December in Pauley Pavilion. Gonzaga fans, of course, still remember the heartbreaking loss to UCLA in the 2006 Sweet 16, the one that left Adam Morrison in tears. The Bruins would need Kevon Looney and Tony Parker, who were terrific against UAB, to continue their improvement and battle against Gonzaga's front line.

With terrible 2012 start, C.J. Miles struggling as a Cavalier
Mark Duncan, ASSOCIATED PRESS
Here are a few things you don't hear much in the Quicken Loans Arena, home of the Cleveland Cavaliers, these days:
"We could win a championship this year!"
"Man, I love LeBron."
"We had an absolutely killer off-season and signed one of the best free agents out there!"
Jazz fans weren't completely broken up over C.J. Miles's departure to Cleveland during the off-season, and in a way, that's sad.
Miles' career to this point is one of unfulfilled potential. Drafted out of high school, he was known as one of the Jazz's most affable players and one of Deron Williams's best friends on the team. He showed occasional glimpses of utter brilliance. But in the end, the Jazz wouldn't pay him what he asked for as a free agent last offseason because they didn't feel he contributed to the team's success often enough or strongly enough to validate a larger payday. When the Jazz needed outside shooting, they couldn't rely solidly on his outside game, preferring Kyle Korver and subsequently Gordon Hayward. Meanwhile, his penetration and play creation skills were inferior to the likes of Deron Williams, Devon Harris and, dare I say it, Jamaal Tinsley.
What's a GM to do? Miles always struggled to lock down a definitive, important role upon which he could be relied to fulfill regularly and strongly.
Now, it's the Cavaliers' turn to find that out. Miles has been miserable in his early Cavs career - so much so that his mother even texted her son saying she doesn't like his on-the-floor body language.
The thing is, while he was here, the Jazz didn't like his body language that much either.

State Sen. Jerry Hill intends to put forward legislation ordering state wardens to avoid using lethal force on mountain lions, almost two months after a pair of cubs were shot and killed in Half Moon Bay. Hill's office announced the new legislation in the press release sent out Thursday afternoon.
The proposed bill would require state Fish and Wildlife officials to first attempt to subdue a cougar by either capturing, tranquilizing or "temporarily injuring" the animal. State wardens would still have the discretion to kill mountain lions if they present an immediate threat to humans. The bill would also direct wardens to partner with wildlife groups and nonprofits when dealing with the animals.
Speaking on Thursday, Hill said he drafted the legislation after speaking to both state wardens and independent wildlife advocates.
"The current guidelines really force (wardens) to kill mountain lions even if humans aren't at risk," Hill said. "We wanted to allow the department and wardens to take alternative actions if appropriate."
Hill will discuss about his forthcoming legislation at an event Friday morning at the CuriOdyssey wildlife museum in San Mateo. He will be joined by Half Moon Bay Mayor Rick Kowalczyk and representatives from the Mountain Lion Foundation and the Felidae Conservation Fund.
The new legislation comes after Fish and Wildlife officials faced intense scrutiny over their response to two mountain lion cubs that wandered into a Half Moon Bay neighborhood on Dec. 1. After an unsuccessful attempt to shoo the animals back into the wilderness, wardens made the decision to use lethal force. Officials initially described the animals as a possible threat to the neighborhood, but the animals were later found to be no more than four months old and about the size of housecats.
Top officials with Fish and Wildlife have since expressed regret over the incident, and they pledged to review their policies for dealing with mountain lions. That review should be finished in the next couple weeks, according to a department spokeswoman.
Independent wildlife organizations point to the Half Moon Bay incident as an example of many of the longstanding problems in how state wardens deal with mountain lions. The California Fish and Game code directs wardens to kill a mountain lion if it presents a public threat, but it doesn't mention first trying to pacify or capture the animal. Prior to the Half Moon Bay incident, representatives with the Mountain Lion Foundation were urging state wildlife officials to add policies for nonlethal measures.

Stonington - When the Board of Education decided to keep graduation on June 8 and eliminate three days from the upcoming April 9-13 vacation, a large group of high school seniors and their parents cheered. But they might be the only ones happy with last Thursday's unanimous vote.
Over the past few days, parents of younger students have criticized the decision in emails to board members and through online postings.
Details are lacking about what will happen to students and staff who miss class on April 11, 12 and 13, when school is now in session, or what will be taught to those who do attend school on those days.
"To me, this says there will be no learning for those children whose families could not afford to go away. They will watch videos in the cafeteria and be baby sat by subs," wrote parent Candace Anderson on a blog posted by Superintendent of Schools Leanne Masterjoseph.
Anderson added that some teachers have told students they have no intention of showing up for school on those days. Anderson said her children also will not be there.
"They can learn more at home than they would by being herded together and given mindless tasks to do," she wrote.
Masterjoseph, who could not be reached by phone or e-mail Monday or Tuesday, issued this statement Tuesday:
"We are working diligently with families and staff to accommodate a host of issues associated with the abbreviation of April vacation. This work includes understanding that many families and staff members have made arrangements for the period of April 11, 12 and 13, 2012, that are not easily changed. I am also in discussions with leadership from the Stonington Education Association at this time."
Masterjoseph referred parents to her blog at lmasterjoseph.wordpress.com, in which she said learning will remain a priority and the schools will consider whether to present any new material during the three days.
The official school calendar states the school board may choose to eliminate April vacation if the system has to make up more than five days prior to March 1, when snow days are no longer much of a threat.
Masterjoseph said families with travel plans established after the "March 1 threat to vacation" had passed and cannot be changed should proceed with them and send in absence notes. It is unclear what happens to families who booked travel before March 1 and how the system will verify the booking dates for travel. She said she is also working with staff to address travel plans booked after March 1.
The school system needs to make up three days missed as a result of Tropical Storm Irene.
Gretchen Noonan, president of the teachers' union, declined comment, saying the Stonington Education Association is in conversation with the school administration about the issue.
The school board decided against making up the three days by moving the graduation ceremony to June 15. Seniors and their parents said the change could endanger the post-graduation party, the $3,000 deposit on the location for the party and the ability of relatives to attend graduation.
"Why does the entire school district lose three days of vacation over a senior party deposit?" wrote parent Tom Lennon in response to the school board's blog.
The board also rejected a plan that would have had seniors attend school for three days after they received their diplomas. High school Principal Stephen Murphy said that plan would create havoc with graduation practice, exams and regular classroom instruction for other students.
School board Chairwoman Gail MacDonald said the board was guided by its desire to set a graduation date and stick with it instead of having a "moving target" as in past years. She acknowledged the decision has "touched off a lot of issues that we did not anticipate." She said the board will re-examine its 2012-13 school calendar to prevent a repeat.
MacDonald said that last fall, when Masterjoseph suggested eliminating the Columbus Day and Veterans Day holidays and a staff training day to make up the days, some parents opposed that plan, so the board decided to put off a decision until after the winter. The board did agree in the fall that it would not change the date of graduation, and that if it needed to make up days it would decrease the length of the April vacation.
MacDonald called the issue a "no win" for the board. "There would be people upset regardless of what we did," she said.
Board members could choose to reconsider the issue, MacDonald said, but she added that she did not think that would make for good process.
The next regularly scheduled school board meeting is April 5.

A self-proclaimed prophet predicted that Jesus Christ would return May 21 for his saints.
It is Memorial Day weekend.
For the past two weeks, we have been discussing where our faith rests. We have seen that this should be a priority to us as we seek to please God.
In 1982, Thomas J. Peters and Robert H. Waterman wrote a bestselling book, "In Search of Excellence." The popular management book sets the standard for identifying characteristics of excellent, innovative companies.
Have you ever wanted to give up? If your answer to this question is yes, then I have a word of encouragement for you.
Last week, we asked the question, "Where does your faith rest?" Today, we will look at how we can be certain of where our faith must rest.
There is one group of letters I have heard all of my life – TGIF – that stands for "thank God it's Friday" or "thank goodness it's Friday."
School is out in Bryan County. Graduation ceremonies will be held today for both Bryan County and Richmond Hill high schools. For many young men and women, today marks the completion of one task, but it's only the beginning of a brand-new phase of their lives. Excitement fills the air.
Hinesville First United Methodist Church is on the move. The church is growing and new ministries have been implemented.
"Jesus asked, "Do you finally believe? But the time is coming - indeed it's here now - when you will be scattered, each one going his own way, leaving me alone. Yet I am not alone because the Father is with me. I have told you all this so that you may have peace in me. Here on earth you will have many trials and sorrows. But take heart, because I have overcome the world" (John 16:31-33).
Religious freedom has changed its identity over the years. One could believe that religious freedom started when our nation's founders separated from the mother country and established a nation where people were free to worship God in their own way. Biblical freedom, however, is obtained when a person accepts and receives Jesus Christ as their personal savior - when a person is born again.
He has a passion for reaching back and helping his community.
For the past three weeks, my topic for this column has been easy to determine. First, there was Easter, then I wrote about the National Day of Prayer and finally there was Mother's Day.
In one of Jesus's parables he said his kingdom on earth offered some of the same benefits a tree offers to the birds of the air.
Where does your faith rest? In other words, why do you believe the things you believe about religion and why do you profess to be a part of a certain group?
Americans' confidence in religion is at an all-time low in four decades, according to a new Gallup poll, while it ranked fourth in the polling firm's confidence-in-institutions list.
Jana Al-Akhras, an American-born Muslim, began fasting during the Islamic holy month of Ramadan in the second grade and has managed to observe the annual practice ever since — in winter and summer, during high school soccer practices and games and through long days of classes in college.
Churches seeking to recapture the growing numbers of religiously unaffiliated should forget about preserving the past and instead focus on the needs of those who see no need for organized religion, one mainline Protestant thought leader said.
"For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord." - Romans 6:23
There's something — or, more precisely, someone — missing from many churches on Sunday mornings: men.
Would you classify your child as a Bible scripture aficionado?

Andrea Grodnitzky to Present on Selling with Insights at the 2015 ATD International Conference and Expo
Andrea Grodnitzky, Richardson's Senior Vice President of Global Performance Solutions, will be speaking at the ATD 2015 International Conference & Exposition in Orlando, FL on May 20.
Grodnitzky's session will cover how, globally, organizations are implementing a selling with insights sales approach. She will discuss how these organizations are using insights to guide their clients to make the best decisions for their businesses. Buyers today are equipped with unprecedented access to data and information, but Grodnitzky believes they need knowledge and context to help them sort through the noise. This session will discuss how now, more than ever, the sales dialogue is a critical part of achieving sales success with this type of selling approach and what it really means to deliver an insight that will add value to clients.
"We are all aware of just how dramatically the selling landscape and buyer behavior has changed in our information-rich, always-accessible, digital world," says Grodnitzky. "In this session, I will discuss not only why a selling with insights sales approach is necessary in today's selling landscape, but more on what this approach really entails and how to roll it out in your organization."
She continues: "This type of selling approach creates value, value creation builds trust, and trusted advisors influence today's ultra-informed buyer. I hope that attendees will gain an understanding of how » Continue Reading.
Challenger Selling: "Courageous Questions" Differ from "Grenades"
Challenger Selling: "Courageous Questions" Differ from "Grenades"
Many sales leaders are urging their salespeople to adopt a challenger selling methodology and ask "challenging" questions to have effective sales meetings with prospects and clients. The intent is to be more provocative, create differentiation in a crowded market, provide insight, and hopefully add more value to the conversation. This post is designed to share some mistakes I have been seeing with this approach and to offer suggestions for properly asking "courageous questions" in an effective sales meeting.
Insight Selling: Essential Skills for Shaping and Creating Sales Opportunities
Opportunities to grow your business with a major account come in three different modes: Respond, Shape, and Create.
When you respond to an opportunity, the customer has already identified the issue, the solution, and the expected outcomes. Now, a provider is sought. This is the most reactive style of account development. The scope and budget are usually already set. Pressures on both price and competition are often high. By no means should you ignore such opportunities. Flexibility is a key element of business. You have to be able to respond as well as initiate. But, responding is not the best way to develop and grow a business relationship.
Insight Selling – How to Move Beyond an Inward Focus and a Product-based Message
Insight Selling – How to Move Beyond an Inward Focus and a Product-based Message
The Problem – Ultra Informed Buyers
Today's buyers are savvier than ever, which makes selling to them a greater challenge for sales reps and teams. Whether they're interested in a one-off transaction for a particular product or service, or a long-term strategic partnership, customers from companies of any size and industry can research just about anything they desire online, which puts them in a position of strength over sellers.
If your salespeople are selling the same old products the same old way, then you could very well be deep in a rut. Have you backed yourself into a corner as a commoditized order fulfillment broker rather than someone who can truly add value?
Value Strategy: The Foundation of Collaborative Account Development
Value Strategy: The Foundation of Collaborative Account Development
Sales people must fully understand a client's industry and business in order to bring real value to the client. This brings something into play called the value strategy, the way to gain this understanding. Value strategy is a plan of action designed to identify, generate, communicate and deliver the value that your company brings to the client.
Decision-making Needs Room for Big Data and Emotions
Decision-making Needs Room for Big Data and Emotions
Few people need convincing that big data is not a phenomenon or fad. The ability to collect, track, measure, and analyze vast amounts of information to know more about your business, including sales, customer habits and trends, internal business processes, and supply chains, is too much to pass up. In fact, it's often more than most businesses can handle. It's not industry- or function-specific either — a quick scan of headlines across trade publications reveals that taking advantage of big data is on everyone's mind.
Insight Selling: The Next Frontier of Sales and Marketing Alignment
If you think back five or ten years, the focus of sales and marketing alignment at that time was on the sales process. The emergence of usable CRM systems like Salesforce.com and marketing automation platforms like Eloqua and Marketo enabled tracking across the customer lifecycle from lead to close and beyond. As companies made investments in these sales and marketing platforms, it made sense to agree on a single integrated process enabled by the integrated systems and operationalized through concepts like the "lead waterfall," marketing qualified leads, sales accepted leads, service level agreements, and the sales funnel. Many organizations are making great progress in this area, and others no doubt have a ways to go. However, from an operational standpoint, there's been tremendous progress.

On a server there's at least 1 search script, that searches from all files for words. You only need to add a few lines to the html doc.

- Good stuff,
I am redrawing the Meissner Midget schematic based on my model and will publish it in the files section when it is verified. I will to try to get the exact parts values recorded on the sheet before I start the rebuild process. I took a couple of photos under chassis too. My parts are older than the ones shown in the web article. The resistors are the old white ceramic body type. The variable is a dual section type with the rear section plates removed so only the 365 pF section is used.
Mike WU2D
- John, I agree with your comments on the broadcast wasteland, for the most part.
Hard to imagine a youngster these days wanting to build a simple radio in order
to enjoy radio broadcasts with it - more it's a technical feat.
However, there are some areas with more diversity, at least for "older kids".
For example, some Public Radio stations here in Oregon, broadcast BBC or
World Radio Network programs overnight.
If you happened to live near Window Rock, Arizona, you could actually listen
to rock n' roll done in Native American tribal languages - actually some pretty
good stuff. I used to hear that station when I lived in Salt Lake City.
I think Canada has a good variety of AM broadcasting, through the local
CBC affiliates, however the move in recent years has been to close these and
move to FM band. -Hue

Searching for T2 pic in special color
i'm a proud T2 owner for almost 3 month now ... just got my girlfriend into playing pump ... now i want to buy her her own T2 ...
but all the damn color options ......
She wants the folowing color combo and i need a picture before buying to be sure it's the right decision ...
Gun with 86° frame in complete dust black except the following parts:
clamp ring, feedneck mount, backblock, ivg cover, at lever, pump plate, micro rail, asa knob ... they should be glossy dark red...
hope someone of you has an pic of that color combo ... looked through the T2 picture thread but can't find a right pic ...
greetings from germany
Not to clutter your thread but I think someone should make a "Build-Your-Own CCM App/Flash" thingy like the one on Cartermachine.com so that we can all plan our own dream CCMs.
Google-fu has revealed this:
@left handed: to much red and glossy black :-(
i already have some ideas for such an color app ... but i'm still working on the technical details ...
Using the parts diagram you posted above, CCM will do 2 tone color jobs. You can call/email them what you would like. obviously if there is not one already built there will be no picture available but you can get whatever colors they offer mixed and matched.
I know we already have 2 T2 in our team.. but before i order i want a pic :-)
With shipping, tax, ... they cost 1100-1200 dollar over here in germany... so i want to e sure its perfect
understand that man, but you cant really ask for something that doesnt exist
you might have to get pics that are close, and use your imagination on the rest
atachs is probably as close as your gonna find
simply hoping someone has that color an just did not post it on the t2 picture thread ... small chance ... but i'll have to try :-)

Posted 22 November 2014 - 05:26 PM
Sweet, Thanks!
Posted 01 January 2015 - 09:11 PM
While this is a good start I a few comments and suggestions.
- Include Headers - Missing #include "headerfile".
- Common headers - math should be cmath.
- Namespace - this is a using statement, not a namespace. Also using namespace std; should be discouraged not promoted in such a generalized way.
- Data types - missing short, long, long long, and long double. The last two were added in C++11.
- Switch/case - <constant#> and <constantn+1> can be generalized with <constant-expression>. <constantn+1> can be removed without losing clarity.
- I/O Operators - cin >> var1, var2, var3; does not appear to be correct for that context. Should likely be cin >> var1 >> var2 >> var3;. This section could be moved into a separate Standard Library Reference.
- File I/O - This section could be moved into a separate Standard Library Reference.
- File Mode Constants - Might be a good idea to include which header they are defined in. This section could be moved into a separate Standard Library Reference.
- Function Prototype - This is a function definition not a declaration or prototype.
- Class Prototype - This is a class definition not a declaration or prototype. The comments can be more specific to detail accessibility (i.e. //members accessible by everyone, //members accessible by the class and derived classes, //members accessible by the class).
- Structure Prototype - This is a struct definition not a declaration or prototype. There should be some indication that <object name> is optional. Also class and struct are synonymous and the only difference is default accessibility of members and inherited members. This could be merged with class information.

Well played. It made me laugh! If you somehow didn't know of him, what a total shock once the whistle blows.
Goph, that is one wicked Mull-et complete with 'stache you have in your avatar. Well done!
I think that Ore St. walks away with this one. I'd like to think the Bronco's can push them, but after...
Live stream started working for me at the 133lb match! Whew!

Put me down. I'll give it a go.
Does anyone know if any of National Duals are going to be televised? I don't see anything on B1G Network or Direct TV listings. I may start getting the shakes if I can't watch NCAA wrestling (B1G...

That would be sweet!
Is this going to be broadcast on the BigTen Network or somewhere else. I would love to watch/stream it!
I haven't heard anything about that and would be pretty surprised (but then again I'm pretty sure UNO fans were surprised). They just received some serious funding to renovate the Bison Sport Arena...

Is this archived or pod-castable somewhere. I was not able to listen last night but would like to check it out. I did not see it on the TDR site or on KXNO.com yet. Maybe it will be up later...

2. Kirk Smith 184lbs (5 spots), ranked #3 in the latest coaches poll...
