Dr. Leo Corriveau knows education. He began his 33 year career as a social studies teacher at the middle and high school levels. At age 29 he got his "big break into school administration" when he became the assistant principal at Monadnock Regional High School with an enrollment of 1,100 students. He was also a principal and superintendent in Woodstock, Vt., where he worked with 52 school board members and eight different school boards. Most recently, he was the superintendent of New Hampshire SAU 34 — Hillsboro, Deering, Washington and Winsor. Today, Corriveau is the director of the Office of Teacher Accreditation, Assessment and Clinical Experiences at Plymouth State University, and the chief certification officer.
"The position here at Plymouth has been restructured to be responsible for the oversight of clinical experiences of teacher certification candidates, as well as the program's accreditation by NCATE and the New Hampshire Department of Education," explains Corriveau of his new job. NCATE is the National Council for Accreditation of Teacher Education. NCATE sets standards of excellence for teacher preparation nationwide. "Plymouth State is the only one of two NCATE accredited institutions in New Hampshire, and we have completed a self-study and are preparing for a site visit next week for continuing accreditation," states Corriveau.
"The NCATE process is validation of the good work that is being done here," he continues. "It allows us to assess how well we meet NCATE standards and how well our students meet those standards." There are 61 teacher education candidates student teaching during the spring semester. The expectation is for 75 in the fall and 100+ in spring 2005.
According to Corriveau, NCATE evolved using the quality philosophy of continuous improvement regarding how well teacher education students were prepared to teach, and to improve the teaching experience for teachers, their students and school systems overall. Going through the NCATE self-study and assessment enables Plymouth State to see how well its own conceptual framework for teacher education —collaboration, holism, experience, commitment and knowledge—aligns with NCATE standards.
Another aspect of Corriveau's job is to chair PSU's Council of Teacher Education, the governing body that sets policy and determines course and programmatic revisions for teacher education in all disciplines. He is also chief certification officer for graduate students in the master's of education program seeking educator certification.
Having been on the job just over a month, Corriveau is still learning the differences between working for a school district and a university, but is excited by the opportunities and the quality of Plymouth State students, staff and programs.
"Nationally, almost 50% of the teaching force is baby boomers," says Corriveau. "There is going to be a major shortage of teachers and administrators in the near future. My vision is for PSU teacher education candidates to be sought by school systems. Even now, PSU teacher education students had SAT scores and maintain GPAs that are higher than the average university student's, which counters the national trend and perception of teacher education candidates. They will be highly regarded and preferred as teaching candidates."
Other goals of Corriveau's are to ensure diversity in the teacher education programs, increase the number of math, science, special education and foreign language candidates and develop additional relationships among rural and urban school districts. Currently, Gilford School District, Newfound Regional School District and Shaker Regional School District are all PSU Professional Development School partners. Through these partnerships, PSU professors, teacher education candidates, school teachers, administrators and students all benefit from professional development experiences that raise the overall level of teaching and learning in the schools. Corriveau says he would like to revitalize the Concord School District partnership, and expand partnerships with larger, urban school administrative units in New Hampshire.
In his "spare" time Corriveau plans to continue teaching courses for Plymouth's Certificate of Advanced Graduate Studies program. Also, he is on the executive board of the New Hampshire Association for Supervision and Curriculum Development (NHASCD), and a past president of NHASCD. He is an award winning and nationally recognized school administrator. Among his many honors are: being selected by NHASCD in 1999 for an Excellence in Education Award, having been nominated three times by the American Association of School Administrators (AASA) for National Superintendent of the Year (1995, 1996 and 1999), received a Leadership for Learning Award from AASA in 1995, selected for Who's Who Among Outstanding Americans in 1994 and 1995, and recognized by the United States Department of Education for Outstanding Leadership in School Administration for the 1986-87 school year.
Corriveau, originally from Athol, Mass., lives in Hillsboro with his wife, Laura, and daughter, Kaley. Corriveau is a graduate of Fitchburg State College. He received masters' degrees from Fitchburg State College and Providence College, and his doctorate in management from Columbia Pacific University.

I want to share with you mommies a lead I found last night. This is a great 'egg' to have when you need to work, make decent money, but cannot find a quiet room to head to. Check out http://jobs.intelichek.com/. This is a 'telephone mystery shop' type of work. From what I gather, they post tasks to call particular companies and receive price quotes. Other agents working for intellichek report averaging $50 for 3-4 hours of work a day. I am also told the work load is consistent and year round.

I am already spayed and up to date with shots.
You can pick me out because I am the tiniest one here! I am full of energy and I love to play fight with whoever wants to give me some attention. But when I know it's time to settle down, I give the best snuggles. I don't mind other cats or dogs, I tend to make them my best friend so I can burn off some energy by playing with them. If I sound like I would be a perfect fit for your family please come on down to the SPCA and see me today!!

99 - 107 Final
Iverson, Anthony team up as Nuggets top Trail BlazersMar 14, 2007 - 5:38 AM DENVER (Ticker) -- Carmelo Anthony and Allen Iverson finally got a chance to team up against the Portland Trail Blazers.
Iverson had 31 points and 10 assists and Anthony added 29 and eight rebounds as the Denver Nuggets posted their second straight win, a 107-99 victory over the Trail Blazers.
Marcus Camby had 14 points and 10 rebounds for the Nuggets (31-31), who hold the seventh spot in the Western Conference just one game behind the sliding Los Angeles Lakers (33-31) and two in front of the eighth-place Los Angeles Clippers (29-34).
Despite the win, Denver coach George Karl was frustrated with his team's play.
"We had to play probably the top five teams in the league after the All-Star break, which probably was unfair," Karl said. "We still have some tough teams yet to play. Hopefully, that is going to make us better. There was a time in the third quarter when I wanted to take out all five players and put in five new players. That really would have been bad if I had to do that, but that's how angry I was in that third quarter."
Anthony was serving a 15-game suspension for his role in a December brawl against New York when Denver and Portland first met on January 14. Iverson scored 32 points in a 109-93 win.
The four-time scoring champion was sidelined with an ankle injury in the next two encounters with the Blazers, opening the door for Anthony, the league's top scorer, to score 33 points in both matchups. The teams split those contests.
On Tuesday, however, they got a chance to do it together. The duo combined to shoot 18-of-42 from the field and 23-of-28 from the free-throw line. Anthony and Iverson, who have struggled to mesh, played well together - attacking the paint at will and putting pressure on the defense.
"First of all, it feels good to get a win. It always feels good to win basketball games," Anthony said. "Especially the other day in Sacramento, that was a big momentum swing for us. Winning on the road, winning in Sacramento, and coming here tonight and taking care of business on our home court. We've been struggling a little bit on our home court, so hopefully we can take the confidence and momentum from these two games into Thursday (vs. Los Angeles Lakers)."
But it was the effort on the other end of the court that has sparked the Nuggets.
"Just the intensity on defense and wanting to do it and believing we can do it," Iverson said. "Taking it as a personal challenge."
Iverson admitted that playing as a two-guard has helped him.
"It's always fun when you can get the ball off the board and just take off running and take advantage of the guys not getting back," Iverson said. "I think you've got to take your hat off to the rest of the guys on the squad for just getting out and running with me.
"A lot of times coach talks about me beating people down the court when I have the ball, but tonight that wasn't the case. Guys were beating me down the court and I was just finding guys and they were doing a great job finishing."
Zach Randolph had 26 points and eight rebounds and rookie LaMarcus Aldridge collected 24 and 17 for Portland, which shot 43 percent (38-of-84) to absorb its third loss in its last four games.
As a result of sloppy play, the Blazers were outscored by the Nuggets, 34-23, in the third quarter.
"Our first half was poorly played," Portland coach Nate McMillan said. "Anytime you start off with five turnovers in the first period and fourteen by halftime, you are going to dig yourself a hole. Playing against professional teams, and you make that many mistakes early in the game, you find yourself in the place where we were."

Al Harris and the 5 Worst Starters in the NFLOctober 29, 2011
Al Harris and the 5 Worst Starters in the NFL
It isn't easy to become a starter in the NFL.
To make it, a player must be the best of the best. He also has to have a little bit of luck to avoid injury and to wind up with a team that isn't already deeply talented at his position.
Occasionally, though, players slip through the cracks and manage to start games even though they have no business being on the field at all.
Sometimes they're there out of respect—grizzled veterans who have earned their positions and will never give them up. Sometimes the problem is positional depth—thanks to injury or some other factor, teams have no one else to start so they go with whoever is available.
For some starters, though, it's anyone's guess how they got there and why they remain week after week.
Over the next six slides, we'll talk about some of the antiheros on the field, otherwise known as the NFL's worst starters.
Matt Moore
There's no question that the Miami Dolphins are front-runners for the dubious honor of being the worst team in the NFL. They can't seem to catch a break, particularly when it comes to injury.
When Chad Henne elected to have season-ending shoulder surgery, Matt Moore was brought in to take his place.
Moore helped carry the Carolina Panthers part of the way to a 2-14 season in 2010, at times playing so poorly that he was benched and replaced by his rookie backup.
With the 2011 Miami Dolphins, Moore hasn't shown much improvement. He's thrown just one touchdown pass in three games, compared to three interceptions (and a lost fumble for good measure).
Curtis Painter
Although Indianapolis Colts fans had a ray of hope after Curtis Painter's surprisingly good debut in the league, that hope has become slimmer each week.
Right now he's got an average quarterback rating of 85.2 for the 2011 season. That's not too shabby, but it's been dropping slowly for the past several weeks thanks to low quarterback ratings against Cincinnati and New Orleans.
The fact is that Painter simply isn't very good.
He was brought on in Indianapolis to be a second- or third-string quarterback during a time when Peyton Manning missing a game was nearly unimaginable. Painter was never meant to be a starter.
Unfortunately for the Colts, it turns out that Painter is starting. And Coach Caldwell seems to content to let that status quo be.
Mark Sanchez
Not to pick on quarterbacks only from losing teams, let's talk about Mark Sanchez for a moment.
When you include the seven games he has started this year, Sanchez has just a 72.9 passer rating and a 54.7 percent completion rate. In addition to being embarrassingly inaccurate, he has thrown 41 touchdown passes and 39 interceptions over his career.
Put another way, every time he throws the ball he is almost as likely to put six points on the board as he is to give the ball up to the defending team.
Is that the type of quarterback you want acting as the face of your franchise?
I didn't think so.
Cedric Benson
Setting aside all of the news around Cedric Benson's suspension and jail time for misdemeanor assault charges, it's time to get real about Cedric Benson on the field.
Sure, he had a pair of back-to-back 1,000 yard seasons. That was because in 2009 and 2010 the Bengals seemed to have very few offensive plans besides handing the ball off to Benson.
In 2009, Benson averaged 4.2 yards per carry and helped take his team to the AFC playoffs.
In 2010, Benson averaged a much more modest 3.5 yards per carry, and the Cincinnati Bengals' record reflected his mediocrity (4-10).
This year, Benson has done his team no favors.
Six games into the season, he's averaging a slightly better 3.9 yards per carry. He's only found the end zone twice. Those numbers—not to mention his extracurricular problems—won't help his team to a resurgence in 2011.
Levi Brown
To understand the full horror that is Levi Brown, you must take a look back in time to 2007, when the Arizona Cardinals had the No. 5 draft pick.
At that point, Adrian Peterson was still available.
Instead of picking up the future best running back in the NFL, the Cardinals instead went with offensive tackle Levi Brown of Penn State. He was promising in college, but his time in the NFL has been a huge disappointment.
In 2010, the Cardinals' entire offensive line gave up 50 sacks. Brown contributed mightily to the cause, allowing an NFL-worst 50 quarterback pressures. He also gave up 10 sacks and 10 hits.
Brown is on pace to have an equally horrible year in 2011. In fact, a fair argument could be made that many of Kevin Kolb's struggles are exacerbated my Brown's unreliable play.
Al Harris
Sometimes, good people don't know when to call it quits. Such is the case with Al Harris, starting cornerback for the St. Louis Rams.
Released by the Green Bay Packers midseason in 2010, Harris left Milwaukee in the classiest way possible—by taking out a half-page ad in the Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel to thank his fans for their dedication to him.
Harris found a new home in Miami, where he signed a deal contingent upon staying healthy. He was not able to finish the season.
Instead of accepting that age and injury had finally caught up to him and exiting his career gracefully, Harris instead returned for another year with the St. Louis Rams.
Despite his veteran status and excellent stats during the heyday of his career, he was not named a starter until both of the Rams' cornerbacks suffered season-ending injuries. He has shown little to distinguish himself thus far this year.
Truly, the Rams may have been better off looking for fresh talent in the form of an unsigned free agent, as other teams in their position have done.

During the last twenty-five years I have worked for several companies and saw different cultures at each of them. While trying to find similarities and differences it showed to me that the view on employees had a big influence on shaping the individual culture. And because culture can attract or expel employees and therefore influences mid-term corporate development it's time to share some of these thoughts.
I have identified five levels of perception depth that are explained here in detail. Each level can be read using the four quadrants borrowed from Ken Wilbers work to get a comprehensive picture;
- What is the manager views on the employee? (individual outside)
- What does this mean to the employee himself? (individual inside)
- What is the team's view on the employee? (collective outside)
- What does this mean for the culture? (collective inside)
Before stepping into the levels keep in mind, that there are huge differences for example between producing firms and consulting firms. So the levels are not evaluated as good or bad practices, but should find there right context to achieve their individual benefits. Managing people in a producing environment like having consulting people is an equally bad practice as vice versa.
Quantity Level
The first level is the simplest possible and a pure quantitative one. Do we have an employee or don't we? Companies measure employees in headcount and use terms like workforce. The managers and the team think in ideas that if they double the number of employees they only need half the time. It's that easy. The employees are glad to have a job. They gain for security and stability. They don't need to see the whole picture. They just get the tasks they have to solve and the results will be toughly controlled by the manager. If an error is made the responsible will be punished. Errors delay tasks and missing task completion delays timelines and for missed timelines the management will be punished. And before this happens the manager will punish his employees to prevent it. All employees are objects and there are none to few attributes to distinguish them from each other. The employee is like a battery, replaced when exhausted. This is no environment to keep high skilled or high potential people on the long term.
Knowledge Level
Besides the quantity on the next level the knowledge is added. Education, study path and experience are important attributes looked after during recruitment. Salary is based on education and also the career will be dependent on it. Manager and team will try to put task and required knowledge together, to gain a certain quality level. The employee has studied some topic to get a job like this one. He will constantly provide the team with his knowledge and he will let you know what makes the difference if you don't have this education. And he wants to see the part of the plan that is related to his expertise. Education is definitely an attribute to differentiate employees, which will lead to different classes of employees. But still they are mostly seen as object without interest on the individual.
Skill Level
Besides knowledge skills become important. Employees are categorized into some set of typing for example artist, craftsman and technocrat. And it is recognized by the manager and possibly by the team that you wouldn't give the tax declaration task to the artist and the paint-a-portrait task to the number crunching technocrat. Delegation has the perspective of skill-based matching of task and employee, so that high quality and low effort comes together. Intrinsic motivation rises on a broad basis because employees have to solve tasks that are somehow made for their individual capabilities. And now they want to know about the plan for the next years, they want to imagine where their environment is developing to and what their contribution could be. Colleagues understand the capabilities of their team mates, which creates a culture of respect. The first time the employee becomes a subject and a team member and your payback will be a high loyalty.
Intentional Level
On this level the intention of the employee is taken into account. And because intentions can change over time the scope should be limited to some duration for example three years. And watch out, this is a huge change. For the levels quantity, knowledge and skill is was sufficient to observe the outside of the employee. Now we have to dive into the inside of the employee, into his thoughts, emotions and intentions. These can only be assessed by talking to him. And even if the employee doesn't knows about his intention you could help him to uncover it. It is important to distinguish, if the employee wants to learn from the company, if he wants to make money or wants to take effect on the company. Respect employees intention to support him on his way and to create a long term collaboration. The employee will not only make his job, but will recognize that his individual growth is supported. The employee becomes a part of the family. He will stay for a long time.
Values Level
Additional to the employees intentions at work on this level most of his values are taken into account. With this step you leave the exclusive scope of work and understand the priorities of work, family and free time. You can balance the work with his life. The employee becomes a friend for a lifetime.
The perception level will directly influence the fluctuation rate. If you have fun to invest your efforts repeatedly into adjustments into a new job, just keep going. But from my point of view it really makes sense to invest into the good people and keep them forever. If you don't have good people, overthink your recruiment strategy as well.
At the bottom line there is not one strategy that fits all. Take the perception level, find out where you are and where you want to be. Act on that and you're fine.

It takes, however, only limited ex- perience in statistical analysis to realize that no single set of statistical data can satisfy all standards of usefulness or meet all the needs of analysts working in the field. Statistics cannot, for example, be both up- to-the-minute and wholly accurate. Moreover, each problem, each new situation, presents its own special questions, which can be answered only in terms of data suitable to it. The most that can be asked of any set of data is that it have substantial validity with reference to all the ordinary problems of its users. Data of this kind may be termed general purpose or basic data. In practice, basic data constantly have to be supplemented with more timely or other special data that meet the specific needs of the occasion. One of the first problems of current analysis is to "forecast" the present. It is necessary to foretell what the current situation will prove to be after data are available to define it effectively. The quarterly in- come and product data, when first issued, are themselves estimates of this provisional character: they attempt to predict what the final esti- mates will be after all possible information is in.

The Victorious Adventures of The Fox and the Hound 2 is the 12th crossover in the Victorious Adventures series and the midquel to The Victorious Adventures of The Fox and the Hound. The crossover takes place during the youths of Tod and Copper, in which Copper is tempted to join a band of singing stray dogs. Like the first in the The Fox and the Hound crossover series, its release date is unknown.
The crossover opens with Tod and Copper chasing a cricket together. They see a line of trucks bringing the county fair to town, and Copper is mesmerized by the sound of dogs singing together in an old school bus with "The Singin' Strays" painted on the side. The pair are eager to go see the fair, but when Copper's clumsy tracking skills disappoint his master Amos Slade yet again, the pup is tied up in the yard while Slade and Chief go to the fair without him. Tod arrives and pulls Copper's collar off, and the pair head with the HAC to the fair.
Tod and Copper get to meet The Singin' Strays. The band has five members: Dixie, Cash, Granny Rose, and twin brothers Waylon and Floyd. It is important that they perform well because a talent scout from the Grand Ole Opry will be at the fair. Cash and Dixie get into an argument, and Dixie walks off before their performance, forcing them to go on stage without her. During the show Copper sings along, and Cash invites the pup up on stage to sing with them. The musical number is a success. Cash invites Copper to join the band, which he does upon promising that he is a "stray". Copper spends the entire day with Cash, forgetting his promise to watch fireworks with Tod, Tori, Trina, Cat, Robbie, Andre, Beck, and Jade.
Dixie finds Tod and the HAC and sympathizes with their feelings of abandonment. During their conversation, they lets it slip that Copper is not a stray, and Dixie hatches a plan to get Copper out of the band with their help. Tod lures Copper's owner, Slade, to the fair in a wild chase. The chase leads to widespread mayhem in the fair, and the Singin' Strays' performance is sabotaged right in front of the talent scout Mr. Bickerstaff. Copper is fired from the band and returns home with Slade. Granny Rose and the rest of the members of Cash's band feel quite sorry for Copper about this and therefore the band breaks up. Tod is sorry for ruining everything, and is brought home by Widow Tweed. Along the way, Tweed narrowly misses being hit by the talent scout's car, and Bickerstaff's hat flies off and lands on Tod.
The following day, Tod and Copper admit their mistakes and are friends again. Hoping to amend for his doings, Tod gives Bickerstaff's hat to Copper, who uses it to track down the talent scout at a local diner. Tod tricks Cash and Dixie into thinking the other is in trouble, and the entire band end up meeting up at the diner. Copper convinces the band the importance of harmony, and The Singin' Strays howl a reprise of their song We're in Harmony, attracting the attention of the talent scout and reuniting the band. Impressed with the band, he arranges for the dogs to perform at the Grand Ole Opry.
The crossover ends with Copper choosing to leave the band and play with Tod again. The HAC depart for their next adventure.
- Jade and Cat Give It Up again.
- Also, Jade mocks Tori again with that Southern Belle accent.

Students of Design & Architecture studies need not worry about paying for over-priced textbooks anymore – renting textbooks is an option! Design & Architecture textbooks – for example Fudamentals of Digital Logic With Vhdl Design With CD-Rom by [Stephen Brown], and Secrets of RF Circuit Design by [Joseph Carr] – are often some of the most frequently updated books by Publishing companies. The field of Design & Architecture is constantly changing, and new editions can come yearly and at a huge cost to students who continually buy new books. So why buy when you can rent cheap textbooks? There are plenty of Design & Architecture books to rent – BookRenter has of them all!
Used book sales can be a cheap option as well, but often can be more expensive than textbook rentals. However, there are very few return policies with used books, and especially when taking Design & Architecture classes, buying a used book can be dangerous and costly.

- Keep in mind I haven't read it, just what I've gathered from reviews. If you've read it, could you clarify further details including what the Remans are up to? Alientraveller (talk) 12:27, 26 January 2009 (UTC)
Lend Lease[edit]
"The Vulcans refuse to lend their weapon to the Romulans, although Hobus threatens the entire universe." Not particularly charitable (or logical) of them. Why don't they lend it??? Thanks. 220.127.116.11 (talk) 21:20, 27 March 2009 (UTC)
- Threatening the universe seems a bit off. the Nova would destroy the Romulan home system which would destroy their empire...sending the alpha quadrent into chaos...but the universe? Template:Usnigned
- Yes, they do say it threatens the universe. It is a mutant supernova, not some failing in our plot summary. :) Alientraveller (talk) 19:09, 14 April 2009 (UTC)
- No, they say it threatens the Romulan Empire, but even that is bad science, since Hobus is the star of an uninhabited solar system at the edge of Romulan space. I've only read the first two issues, but it's pretty clear they are not making the incredible claims you say they are. The term "mutant supernova" is completely meaningless. Stars do not mutate, mutation is a process that occurs in lifeforms that possess a cellular structure. It's not something that happens to gaseous masses undergoing fusion. I'm willing to waive a call of bad science on the "instant supernova" concept, since it seems so widespread in soft science fiction and science fantasy, but if the writers actually claim that the star has mutated and that a supernova of all things can actually threaten anything outside its own solar system, then I think we need to add a source that responds to the bad science perpetrated here. Perhaps a published review by someone with science credentials. 220.127.116.11 (talk) 19:40, 12 January 2010 (UTC)

Continuity errors?[edit]
It seems like with the release of the movie Star Trek this no longer stands as being "canon", i.e. how the movie seems to change the Jellyfish's origin from being built by Geordi La Forge to the Vulcan Science Academy. Shouldn't a list of likewise errors be included?--DrWho42 (talk) 18:51, 11 May 2009 (UTC)
- I noticed that, but this comic was never canon: I know we'd like it to be though. Alientraveller (talk) 22:42, 11 May 2009 (UTC)
- I think the film only mentions that it was commissioned by the Vulcan Science Academy, which I suppose leaves some room for the comic's backstory. just64helpin (talk) 13:07, 22 May 2009 (UTC)
Hardcover Release[edit]
I have added the upcoming hardcover release to the main article, but I don't know how to add its ISBN to the summary box on the top-right corner. Can someone do that? AstérixSméagol (talk) 14:11, 16 October 2009 (UTC)

Greetings from Duluth, Minnesota! I'm here on business so can't post all the awesome photos I'm taking of and on giant boats loading coal, grain and iron ore. It's really the best part of my 9-5 job.
Every now and then though, between visits, I can stop my colleague and tell him to hang on just one second while I snap something cool on the docks. The abandoned grain elevator (?) to your right there is one such snap. There's a whole bunch of stuff like that out here and abandoned stuff is definitely one of my favorite photographic subjects. Too bad I don't have time to get those shots or access when I'm not following around my colleague. For now I'll have to be satisfied with the passing glance. Onto the roundup!
On the Web
Each Tuesday, I post a roundup of the best stuff I saw on the internet that week. Enjoy!
Around the Solar System via The Big Picture I don't always click on Boston.com's The Big Picture – a collection of awesome photography on various subjects – but I do always click if the photos are from space. I will never tire of looking at photos taken from outside our atmosphere. How fascinating the universe is!
Binder clip keeps beverages stacked in your fridge Genius!
Ant Death Spiral via mental_floss We know that ants figure out where to go by following a scent trail left by their buddies. In this amazing video clip, you see that played out to an unbelievable end – a "death spiral" that can last for days. Really fascinating!
Undercover Surveillance FAIL I admit it, I subscribe to failblog. Mostly the posts are dumb but sometimes they are awesome, like this one.
XKCD on physicists My husband is one, so I'm sorta obligated to include this link.
Amsterdam Falafelshop to franchise! If that doesn't make sense to you, the article won't be interesting. For us D.C. falafel fans, it's the best news since Congressional recess.

What's the Secret to Growing Your Sales Force?
Superior Salespeople. This is not a dream, nor is it just a 'topic of conversation' – having superior salespeople in your company is a must! When looking across the wide expanse of the sales world in all industries, a sales team is the 'end all and be all' of profit-making. When a company has the perfect team they make money, simple as that.
Caramanico Maguire Associates not only knows what a true optimal salesperson should be all about, but they also have the ability to educate people on the fact that the 'old way' is no longer the right way to build a customer base. The old 'tricks of the trade' are just not suitable to engage customers enough that those same customers stay with you long-term.
Caramanico Maguire Associates excels at helping businesses increase their profit margin. They have a proven model that they use to recruit, interview and 'screen' salespeople so the owner or CEO of the company does not have to be tied-down by useless interviews with candidates that are simply not suitable for their company's needs.
What are the questions you need to ask yourself? Is there a monumental top secret way of growing your sales force so that your company stands out in these tough economic times?
Answer: Yes, in fact, there is a secret. As we've stated, there are many companies that are simply 'going through the motions' when it comes to hiring the best sales team to keep themselves in business. They are wasting their time on interviews, and basically hiring the salespeople that have the best resume. Well…that's just not good enough anymore.
You need to ask yourself some very detailed questions when it comes to finding a sales force to grow your company? Do your sales people have the core competency necessary to succeed? Do they know your product and/or service inside and out, and can the people in sales management do the right things and train your new salespeople in the right way that will enable you to stand out in the marketplace?
What is your process for Sales Force Development? Most companies do not even have a set plan in place to answer this question. Therefore, they never hire the top producers that can make their company shine.
Caramanico Maguire Associates can give you all the answers, training and services you need in order to change all of this, beginning with the top ten reasons why salespeople ultimately fail.
You need to ask yourself when that person sits down in front of you: What is the most money they have earned in the past? Answer: It should be at least 80% of what they will earn if they hit your target number for sales.
Can they control their emotions under pressure? Answer: They'd better be able to; if not, they will miss cues the prospects give as they "think" about what to say next.
Do they have too much need for approval? If the answer is yes to this, that's once again not the salesperson that you need for your company. This need for approval will affect prospecting, closing and qualifying prospects in a very negative way.
How motivated are they? You must know what their personal goals are, and do they have enough desire and commitment to reach them?
What selling skills do they possess? There is certainly a set list of skills that are most definitely required in order to make your business more profitable. From prospecting, qualifying, and closing skills to the very basic issue of being able to ask those specific questions and get the right answer from a potential client.
You also need to know what problems are you likely to have with them in the field? As a business owner, you can not be wasting time with unqualified prospects. Your salespeople need to be the absolute best and there is no time for individuals who give too many quotes, overtalk, or are unable to hold margins. They need to have absolutely no self-limiting beliefs when it comes to their position. They need to be absolutely comfortable with talking about money and be able to 'tell it like it is' to prospects.
Most importantly they need to be compatible with your organization. Think about who they will call on. How much supervision do they need and how much support do they require? They need to know the price point of the product or service they are experienced at selling. And let's face it. You need that hunter that is necessary to increase your profits.
"Past performance is no guarantee of future results." This is an old adage that is still as relevant today as it was a century ago. The next time you hear that a salesperson is a "can't miss" prospect for your open territory, make sure to find out more.
Now, what are the secrets of what not to do? Do not only hire a salesperson based on his/her product knowledge. Although product knowledge is essential to sales effectiveness, you don't have to know how to design a car in order to sell a car. A great deal of hiring managers overstate the technical requirements of the sales position and overlook the sales skills necessary to be successful. You will waste enormous amounts of money waiting for the 'technically competent' person who suffers from call reluctance to make enough calls to meet their quota.
Do not hire based only on the fact that you like or get along with them. Employers sometimes make the mistake of rating a salesperson based on how well they "sold" them in the interview. It is possible to rate some of the skills, such as bonding and rapport, qualifying and closing, but it is the rare interview that will allow the interviewer the opportunity to observe all of the skills needed to be successful.
In addition, do not hire a salesperson simply because the rest of your staff likes or gets along with them. With all due respect, a Human Resources Manager does not sell your product or service. Therefore, they don't know what it ultimately takes to achieve that.
Caramanico Maguire Associates trains these optimal salespeople, as well as finds them for your business. They know that an optimal salesperson is not born; anyone can become a top seller by studying, practicing, concentrating and focusing on his or her own performance. Many will ask what the basic attributes are to being an optimal salesperson? Well…Caramanico Maguire Associates knows the answer to that question, as well.
An optimal salesperson has three basic traits that make them the perfect 'match' for your business. Not to mention, they also need the job commitment, strategic orientation, intellect, mental alertness, sociability, dependability, persistence, courage, ability to improvise, inquisitiveness, forcefulness, tenacity, and straightforwardness.
So now you have uncovered the secrets to what it truly takes to build the optimal sales force, and Caramanico Maguire Associates has even more 'inside' information on exactly how you can increase your profits by using them to recruit the optimal salespeople. Caramanico Maguire Associates does full service recruiting for a company on a retained search basis. They do all the work while you run your business, and won't bother you with reading resumes and interviewing people you will never hire. And the Caramanico Maguire Associates recruiting process is 95% successful!
CMA plays a 'dual' role that no one else in the industry does. Not only will they train individuals and uncover the secrets to becoming an optimal salesperson, but they will also make sure that your company hires only the 'best of the best' to find customers – and keep them!

Martin Burrett on 20 Nov 16"Schools are inherently full of different characters. With a mix of personalities, students and staff can often clash with each other, using different strategies to gain the upper hand, or simply to avoid conflict and live a quiet life. Yet, there are those characters who can be sneaky, back-stabbing, manipulative or darn right confrontational. It's these people who know how to play politics to win friends, influence and possibly to gain the upper hand in climbing the next step on the career ladder."

Martin Burrett on 08 Sep 16Mastering the art of teaching appears to be easier for some colleagues than others. Some teachers just seem to have a presence, gaining respect and credibility from students, colleagues and parents alike. Did they undergo some mysterious, magical training that wasn't covered during your teacher training course? Well, no. They just have mastered how to manage their working relationships, using their personalities to generate rapport, which is respected by students of all age. It's not rocket science - it's far more complicated than that. Personality and behaviour clashes in classrooms are inevitable, but looking at all the different elements of daily interactions can help you gain respect from students and colleagues alike...

Vicki Davis on 22 Jan 14I could watch teachers get awards all day long - watch this music teacher, Penny McLemore, music teacher at Meridian High School win & be wise http://j.mp/1fXUitg - I can just see on her face a lifetime of sacrifice and shock to be noticed. And that, my friends is the nobility of teachers. They do it because they love the kids. When they get noticed it is so wonderful but nothing is more wonderful than the legacy written on the lives and hearts of thousands of faces when the music of your life resonates with your students. Congratulations Penny McLemore and Principal Victor Hubbard who nominated her.

Is it hot enough for you?
Whew! Summer is here in full force with record temps in the 100's. Time to get out of the kitchen for a bit and relax in my imaginary hammock with a pitcher of ice cold lemonade, a plate of gingersnaps and a few good books.
Alphabet Soup will be on summer hiatus until early August, when we will happily celebrate the blog's 5th birthday, and also the birthday of our favorite chef, author, foodie, and television personality Julia Child. Many of you probably know that Julia would have turned 100 on August 15th, and her longtime publisher, Alfred A. Knopf, is leading the party with "JC100: A 100-Day Celebration of Julia Child," which began in May and will run through the 15th. They have compiled a list of Julia's top 100 recipes like Chocolate Mousse, Vichyssoise, Boeuf Bourguignon, and Roast Chicken, and have been releasing them one per day via social media (follow along via their Facebook Page, Twitter or Pinterest).
Also exciting: 100+ bookstores around the country are featuring her cookbooks and hosting special events, 100 restaurants nationwide are featuring Julia-inspired menus for Julia Child Restaurant Week (August 7-15), 100 designated bloggers are making her recipes and writing about them, and all kinds of articles and tributes are being posted online about the woman who once advised, "If you're afraid of butter, use cream."
Best of all, two very cool and awesome children's picture books about Julia were released this year: Minette's Feast: The Delicious Story of Julia Child and Her Cat by Susanna Reich and Amy Bates (Abrams, 2012), and Bon Appétit!: The Delicious Life of Julia Child by Jessie Hartland (Schwartz & Wade, 2012). Both have been garnering well-deserved accolades and are quickly becoming collector's items for adult fans as well as being embraced by kids who are "meeting" Julia for the first time.
I'm thrilled to report that Susanna, Amy and Jessie will all be dropping by to chat with us about their books and love for Julia, even share a favorite recipe or two! So brush up on your French and get your best bibs ready so we can all pop the celebration cork together! Of course your cats are also welcome to join us. ☺
In the meantime, I wish you a very Happy Independence Day tomorrow and a fun-filled, not-too-scorching July. If you have travel plans, do have a safe journey. For those planning stay-cations, happy reading and noshing and lazing about! That's what summer is for, isn't it?
Oh, just wanted to say a big HELLO and WELCOME to our new subscribers! Only too happy to sidle over and make room for you at the table. So happy you've decided to join us.
Stay cool, and I'll see you all in August!

text: The supercommittee developed a roster but never nailed down any agreements, said an aide to a GOP panel member. If the panel had decided to "go big," more could have been asked of, say, federal workers or companies with underfunded pension plans. More controversial approaches such as curbing student loan subsidies also might have made it onto the agenda.The failure of the supercommittee meant that some of the ideas â¿¿ particularly the less controversial ones â¿¿ were left vulnerable for plucking by lawmakers, not for deficit reduction but as ways to pay for new spending on things like highways, student loan subsidies and jobless benefits. Easy-money options like auctioning public airwaves to communications companies ($15 billion over 10 years) or increased fees on mortgages backed by Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac ($36 billion) have been tapped already. A longstanding 10-year, $749 million proposal to limit coal mine cleanup payments to states where problem sites have already been addressed â¿¿ long blocked by Wyoming senators â¿¿ was grabbed this summer to help pay for highway programs, as was a $1.1 billion subsidy for shipping food aid to foreign countries on U.S.-flagged ships. With the low-hanging fruit already picked, the ideas that remain are generally more controversial. Take federal workers. They were clipped in February to help pay for extending unemployment benefits for people without jobs for more than six months. Newly hired federal workers now have to contribute an additional 2.3 percent of their pay toward their pensions. That move came after a huge behind-the-scenes battle in which Washington-area lawmakers like Sen. Ben Cardin, D-Md., succeeded in stifling an effort to make existing workers to contribute more as well. "Federal employees are the only group in America that's been asked to make a sacrifice with respect to the national debt. They've had their pay frozen for three years in a row. They financed the payroll tax cut extension," said Rep. Gerry Connelly, D-Va., whose suburban district near Washington is home to 58,000 active federal workers. "They've already given."

Information for Current PhD Students
Conference Travel Funding
Until students have passed their general examinations, they are not eligible to apply for conference funding. This typically excludes G1, G2 and G3 students (and some G4 students for the fall deadline). Students in these years should concentrate fully on course work and on acquiring knowledge of their respective fields in preparation for the major and minor exams. While the merit of requests is always taken into consideration, preference will be given to those students who have not received prior funding. If additional funding remains after first-time awards are granted, requests for repeat funding will be decided on a case-by-case basis and support is therefore not guaranteed.
If you have an exam or defense coming up, please contact Liz if you need help booking a room (only if you do not have SERT access) or coordinating faculty. Additionally, please message one of the ASP staff with the relevant details (date, title, attending faculty), and we will create the relevant form, have it signed by the faculty and added to your file.
