If you remember my first post (if you don't, you can click here to refresh your memory), you'll know that I started the job search process without any idea as to what I wanted to do with my degree in English. I hadn't visited the Career Services office for anything apart from my interview for the writing internship, I was "preparing" for the future by avoiding it altogether, and because I'd been the butt of one too many English major jokes, I was feeling discouraged — but I took comfort in the fact that I wasn't alone, and I recommended you to do the same. Having said that, I never pointed you in the direction of someone (other than myself) to commiserate with, which is why — today — I'd like to introduce you to Brittany Foley.
Brittany, in addition to being my best friend and roommate, is a Psych major at Framingham State with an anticipated graduation date of May 2015. We've spent many evenings eating Ben and Jerry's ice cream, watching The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, and worrying about our futures.
Q: What do you do with a B.A. in Psychology? Just kidding. Why did you decide to major in Psychology? What do you want to do after you graduate?
A: I decided to major in Psychology because I wanted to work in a position that would allow me to help others. I'd had personal experiences with people suffering from mental illness and those experiences made me want to be able to do something that could help them.
I honestly don't know what I want to do after college. I know I don't want to go to graduate school right away, but that's a possibility in the future because I've been thinking about becoming a high school guidance counselor, and for that I'd need a Master's degree. I'm going to push that off for now, though, because I need a break from school! I might try to go a different route, as well — maybe marketing, maybe something to do with H.R., something like that.
Q: What are your plans for next semester?
A: I'm only taking one course: Research Methods II. I'll be commuting to school for the first time, and that might be difficult since I've always lived on campus, my hometown is about forty-five minutes away, and I don't drive! Dawn (Ross, our Internship Coordinator) mentioned to me that there might be a possibility of carpooling with other students from my area; I need to talk to her again about that. I'll also be working part-time; I hate my current job, so hopefully I'll be able to find a new one before then.
Q: Before I started my internship (and started talking about it ad nauseum), had you heard of Career Services? Had you considered using it as a resource?
A: Yes, I had heard of Career Services before you started working there, and yes, I had thought about going there because I definitely need help finding information about internships and jobs.
Q: Why did you wait until this semester to visit Career Services?
A: I kept pushing it off because I figured I wouldn't need to think about it until I was almost done with school, which was… maybe not the best idea. I think a lot of people feel that way, though.
Q: What did you think of the Job and Internship Fair? Was it helpful? Do you have any suggestions as to how the Career Services office could make it more helpful in the future?
A: It was… okay. I could see how some of the employers there might have interested Psych majors, but I didn't really see anything that interested me; nothing clicked. It was probably more helpful for people who are interested in social services and that sort of thing. As far as suggestions go, maybe the Career Services office could seek out employers with opportunities that would suit students in a wider range of majors; the fair seemed to be geared toward business and non-profit work, which isn't for everyone.
Q: After introducing you to her during the Fair, I recommended that you meet with Dawn Ross about your internship search — and you did! How did it go?
A: It went wonderful! I loved it! We got along really well and I'm going to visit her again because she's very helpful and a pleasant person to work with. She's very positive and reassuring, so she's a good person to talk to if you're feeling stressed about what you're going to do after school — like me. She really listens; you can tell she takes your concerns seriously when you're talking to her.
Q: Will you visit the Career Services office again? Would you recommend it to other Framingham State students who are struggling to figure out what they want to do after college?
A: Yes! I will visit the Career Services office again. I recommend meeting with Dawn; I haven't met Jake yet, but I've heard good things about him from you.
Interviewer's Note: Dawn Ross is the Internship Coordinator in the Framingham State University Career Services and Employer Relations office. She specializes in helping students find and apply for both paid and unpaid internship positions. If you want to meet with someone regarding your résumé, job interviews, etc., Director Jake Livengood or one of our career counselors can help you!
Q: Moving forward, how are you feeling about your internship/job search?
A: I feel a bit better about it, if only because Dawn kept reassuring me that there are plenty of internship opportunities for me, but I'm still nervous. I'm sure that after I leave school, even if I get an internship — which I know is good for networking — I'll still be apprehensive because there are a lot of people, potentially "better applicants," I'll be competing against for job positions. That's nerve-wracking. I'm less worried about my internship search, though; I'm actually pretty excited. I'm looking forward to being an intern somewhere because I'm tired of being stuck in classrooms all the time. I want to get some hands-on experience.
Q: Do you have anything else to add?
A: To survive the job search process, make sure you stock up on chocolate — because when you're sad, you need something to make you happy!
If you're like me — a seasoned writing intern, game room attendant, and ex-customer service representative — you probably have some job interview experience, but if it's been a while since your last interview, you might be wondering: now that I have an elevator pitch, an updated résumé, and networking experience (from the Career Conference and the Career Fair), is there anything more I need to know before jumping back into the interview process? If you aren't "seasoned" yet, you might be wondering: what did she mean when she told me to treat the Job and Internship Fair like an interview? This week's post will venture to answer that question — and what better way to do that than looking at frequently asked interview questions?
Common questions:
Why don't you tell me a little bit about yourself? (Tip: Try answering this question with your elevator pitch!)
Why are you interested in this particular field/industry?
Why are you interested in the organization?
What is your greatest strength?
What is a weakness of yours?
No matter what kind of position you're applying for, it's likely that a potential employer will ask you some of these common questions during an interview. Keep in mind that your answers will help the employer determine not only whether you'd be a good candidate for the position, but also whether you'd be a good fit for the company/organization as a whole. This isn't to say that you should manufacture your responses based on what you think the employer wants to hear — especially if what you think they want to hear requires you to be dishonest — but you should make sure that they convey to the employer that you would be capable to do the job and be engaged in the work.
Behavior-based questions:
Tell me about a time when you had to make an important decision.
Tell me about a time when you handled a difficult situation.
Tell me about a time when you demonstrated leadership.
Tell me about a time when you worked on a team. What was the team goal and your individual role on that team?
Tell me about a time when you did something innovative/came up with a creative idea.
Using behavior-based questions as a method of interviewing is growing in popularity among employers, but don't worry: these questions aren't as intimidating as they seem. Before your interview, pick a few memorable instances from your employment (or educational) history in which you demonstrated the skills you wish to emphasize to the potential employer. Then, practice using the S-T-A-R (Situation Task Action Result) method, which is outlined in our Career Guide:
Situation = First, contextualize the situation for the employer. Make sure to provide the necessary details, but don't spend too much time on exposition.
Task = Second, specify what needed to be done in order to address the situation.
Action = Third, specify what you actually did. Make sure to emphasize your individual efforts as opposed to company/organization-wide efforts.
Result = Lastly, summarize what happened as a result of the action(s) you took.
Here's an example from the Career Guide:
Q: Tell me about a time when you showed leadership.
A: I am extremely interested in working for an NFL team. In exploring this interest, I realized that students did not have a way to connect with others who were interested in working in sports. (S) A time when I showed leadership was when I decided to start a new club on campus to address this need. (T) I wrote a new student club constitution, completed required paperwork for a new student group, and led marketing efforts for recruitment and group officers. This included social media campaigns and outreach tables in our student union. (A) The group I founded is now recognized as a student organization on campus with more than 15 students joining the club initially. More than 25 have expressed interest for the next year, where we have company visits and panel discussions planned. (R)
Closing questions:
Why should we hire you?
Is there anything else about you that you would like to share?
What questions do you have for me (about the position)?
At the end of an interview, most employers will give you the opportunity to mention things you didn't get to touch upon when answering their earlier questions. Don't be afraid to take this opportunity! If you have additional information that you think will help you "market yourself", share it! Also, be sure to have a few questions for the employer about the position and/or the company/organization. This will show them that you've done your research.
Remember: the interview doesn't end when you leave the room. Make sure to follow up by writing a cordial 'thank you' e-mail to the employer in which you reiterate — briefly — your interest in the position and the skills you would bring to it. This should be done within 24 hours of your interview. It might not seem like much, but this could influence the employer's decision to hire you.
Good luck!

On Monday, April 7th, 2014 — approximately a week from now — the Framingham State Career Services and Employer Relations office will be holding its annual Job and Internship Fair, where students will be able to network with employers from the business, non-profit, human services, and science industries. These employers, of which there are more than 50, will be recruiting for full-time, part-time, and internship positions, so — if you're like me and you'll be in need of a job pretty soon — it's bound to be an invaluable experience.
The fair will be from 4:00-5:30 PM and begin with student check-in at the Forum. The following employers will be in attendance:
Children's Creative Learning Center
Eliot Community Human Services
Essex County Sheriff's Department
Habitat for Humanity - Metrowest/Greater Worcester
Homeland Security Investigations
Horizons for Homeless Children
Medical Information Technology, Inc. (Meditech)
Northwestern Mutual - Wellesley
The Bridge of Central Massachusetts
For a brief company description and the types of positions being recruited, click here. If you click on the links provided above, you'll be directed to each employer's website, where you can learn more in-depth information about their company and job opportunities. If you'd like a hard copy of this list, you can pick one up in the Career Services office (seniors graduating in May should have received an e-mail from our Director, Jake Livengood, with this list — check your student e-mail!), but either way, make sure you do your research before the event. The key to successful networking is preparedness.
That being said, preparedness doesn't stop at research. If you choose to attend the Job and Internship Fair, you should dress professionally (as if for an interview), have your elevator pitch ready, and bring copies of your résumé. You'll be sure to shine!
See you there!
Once you have your elevator pitch down pat, you're ready to start working on your résumé — or, in my case, editing and updating it. Because I've held three part-time jobs in my life, my résumé has been floating around for years, but since I haven't had much formal training in terms of how to make it the best it can be, I've never been particularly proud of it. The Microsoft Office template I've used has made it clunky, my organization needs work, and my wordiness has made it entirely too long. To be frank, the last time I updated my résumé was for my Professional Writing class about a year ago, and despite my best effort, I ended up getting a C on the assignment. Needless to say, marketing yourself — which is what your résumé should be intended to do — can be difficult, especially when the craft of résumé writing is just as important as the content of that résumé.
While it is recommended that you schedule an appointment with one of our career counselors if, like me, you have questions and/or concerns about your résumé, the Framingham State Career Search Guide (accessible online or in the Career Services office) does address some FAQs:
Your GPA is not necessarily as "marketable" as your skills and work experience.
While your GPA is important, it might not be as important to include on a résumé as your skills and work experience. Some employers may have a GPA requirement (the most common is 3.0), some may use it as a means of prioritizing potential employees, but others may not ask for it at all. That being said, make sure you're prepared to give an honest answer if an employer asks you about your GPA during an interview. It is a general guideline that anything 3.0 or better is fair game to put on your résumé, but if your GPA isn't in that ballpark, offer a brief explanation as to why that is.
High school has an expiration date.
When writing your résumé, don't place emphasis on your high school education. In fact, it's recommended that — once you've made the transition from high school graduate to college undergraduate — you don't include it at all. That being said, extracurricular activities you participated in and/or part-time jobs you had during your high school career can be included.
Gear your résumé toward the job you're applying for.
Make sure to do your research about the job position you're applying for before you submit your application. Find out precisely what skills or work experience the employer is looking for and — assuming you have these qualifications — highlight them on your résumé. This will help you market yourself in that it will showcase your ability to "do the job" even before you go in for an interview.
All work experience matters.
Don't neglect your work experience. As a college student — or recent college grad — it's likely you'll be tempted to emphasize what you've done to prepare yourself for a career in your chosen field, but that doesn't mean your childcare/customer service/retail experience is inconsequential. Odds are, you've gained transferable skills from this experience, so don't leave it out.
Now that I'm armed with all of that knowledge, I'm ready to confront my résumé problem.
Fast forward to my meeting with Jake, Director of the Framingham State Career Services and Employer Relations office and résumé writer extraordinaire. I attach my clunky, disorganized, wordy résumé to an e-mail, he prints it out, and we spend about forty-five minutes going over it together. He addresses my concerns about the template, helps me re-organize, and makes suggestions as to how I can shorten my résumé by eliminating unnecessary information. I leave our appointment feeling a lot less embarrassed by the document I'll be submitting to employers in the coming weeks, which gives me a much-needed confidence boost moving forward.
Take it from me: writing, editing, and/or updating a résumé can be difficult, but it doesn't have to be daunting, especially when you have a resource as valuable as the Career Services office at your disposal.
I've had three job interviews in my life. The first was with Lillian Holden, Bookkeeper in the Framingham State Student Involvement and Leadership Development (SILD) office, for my position as a game room attendant. The second was with my first manager at the Solomon Pond Mall for my position as a guest services representative. The third was with Jake Livengood, Director of the Framingham State Career Services and Employer Relations office, for my position as an intern. And if memory serves, each one of them asked me the scariest question you can be asked in a job interview:
"Why don't you tell me a little bit about yourself?"
I never know how to respond to this question. If someone were to ask me right now, on the spot, I'm not sure I could come up with anything better than:
"My name is Zoe. I'm 22 years old. I spend way too much time on the internet and need to get out more. I go to college by day and blog about cats by night. My favorite color is purple. I don't like it when people spell my name with a 'y'. In an ideal world, I'd like to stay up until dawn and sleep until noon every day. Please hire me?"
Needless to say, potential employers don't want to know how many hours I spend scrolling through my dashboard on Tumblr and reblogging pictures of cats. They don't want to know that my favorite color is purple or my preference for a nocturnal lifestyle. They want to know about my educational experience, my work experience, and my career goals, which is why it's important that I prepare a clear and concise "elevator pitch" before I find myself sitting in another job interview.
When a potential employer asks you to tell them about yourself, you should be able to answer in the same amount of time it would take to ride an elevator with them. I know the elevators at Framingham State run relatively slow (frontrunners being the elevator in May Hall and the elevator in the McCarthy Center), but in theory, your "elevator pitch" should be about 30 seconds long. That's right: you have 30 seconds to sum up your educational experience, your work experience, and your short-term and long-term career goals. No pressure.
That being said, preparing your "elevator pitch" doesn't have to be as stressful as it sounds. There's no way you'll be able to tell them everything in 30 seconds, but you can give them the bullet points. To give you a sense of what an effective "elevator pitch" might look like, here is an example that can be found in our Career Search Guide, which you can access online or pick up in the Career Services office:
"Hello, my name is Jonathan Student, and I am a senior at Framingham State University majoring in Criminology with a minor in Spanish. My ability to speak Spanish and my internship in the criminal justice system makes me a good candidate to work with a variety of populations. Recently, I interned at the Framingham Police Department where I observed criminal processes first hand. I am currently seeking a position in either the prison system or with an enforcement agency."
Following this model, my "elevator pitch" might look something like this:
"Hello, my name is Zoe Moore. I am a senior at Framingham State University, majoring in English, with an anticipated graduation date of May 2014. My communication skills, especially through the written word, make me a good candidate to work independently or collaboratively in a work environment. Currently, I am the writing intern the Framingham State Career Services and Employer Relations office, where I write weekly blog posts that are shared with the student body through the Career Services website and corresponding social media. I am seeking a position that will allow me to put my skills to good use."
See? It's as easy as that. If I can do it, so can you — and if you have any questions, the Career Services office is, as always, here to help.

I've given you a handful of "theoretical knowledge" posts in the past few weeks, and while I hope you've enjoyed reading them as much as I've enjoyed writing them, I think it's about time I filled you in on an upcoming opportunity for hands-on learning and networking. Two weeks from today, on March 7th, 2014, the Framingham State Career Services and Employer Relations office is holding its fourth annual Career Conference in the McCarthy Center from 1-5 PM — and all of you are invited!
For as long as I've been an intern in the office, everyone has been working diligently in preparation for the first of two "major" career events that will take place this semester (the second is our Career Fair, but we'll get to that later). For those of you who don't know, the Career Conference consists of numerous workshops designed to help students as they go through the job search process and ready themselves for post-graduate life. Following an introduction by Michael Herbert, keynote speaker and Assistant Town Manager/Finance Director for the town of Ashland, the conference is split into two breakout sessions and Career Advice Roundtables (CARS).
The first breakout session, which will take place from 2:00-2:50 PM, is made up of an interviewing workshop (with Sare' Arnold, Talent Acquisition Manager at Enterprise Holdings), a LinkedIn workshop (with Deb Federico, one of our career counselors), and resume reviews. The second breakout session, which will take place between 3:00-3:50 PM, is made up of a career exploration workshop (with Ellen Price, one of our career counselors), a young alumni panel, and a making a good first impression workshop. After the breakout sessions, students will be able to participate in CARS, which will facilitate networking with employers and FSU Alumni.
The only downside to the Career Conference is that, unless you have Hermione Granger's Time-Turner, you won't be able to attend all of the workshops. During the breakout sessions, you'll have to pick and choose which workshops to attend based on your personal interests. Having said that, if you're interested in being in two places at once, why not bring a group of friends and cover more ground? Attend different workshops, report back to each other, and share the wealth of information you're sure to receive. You won't be disappointed.
I haven't decided which workshops I'll be attending yet, but after reaching out to Michael Herbert, I've gained some exclusive insight as to what he'll be discussing during his speech and some professional advice. Spoiler alert! If you want a sneak peek, read on!
Q: Jake [our Career Services Director] tells me that you have an inspiring story to share about your own experience with career exploration. Could you tell me about that?
A: From the time I was about 16 to 22, I was all about music and being a musician. That was my driving force. However I also had a number of personal issues that were occurring during that time period as well. Long story short is that career path was interrupted by a bout with homelessness and addiction. In the course of working through those issues I realized that I wanted to move towards public service. It took some time, but I finally found my passion working in local government and I've never looked back and have been on an accelerated career path in town management ever since.
Q: When you were in your late teens/early twenties, did you have any specific career goals? What did you want to be when you "grew up"?
A: Really during that period it was about music for me, but quite frankly I was focused less on career goals during that and more about just trying to find my way out of some of the messes I had gotten myself into.
Q: Do you have any résumé-building advice for students? Are there other ways to gain experience besides internships?
A: Find opportunities where you can realize some demonstrable accomplishments. If you are interested in a career in local government, there are probably a number of different volunteer committees and opportunities in your town that you can be a part of.
Q: In general, what are employers looking for in a potential employee? In other words, what are some ways that job-seeking students can "stand out" to employers?
A: [This is] what I look for in a resume/cover letter:
The ability to write. If you can write well, that tells me that for the most part you can think independently and communicate.
A focus on achievements and not just job responsibilities. I am not really going to care about how many people you supervised and the size of the budget you managed. What I want to know are the results you realized by developing those resources to benefit the company/organization you worked for.
[This is] what I look for during an interview:
The most important thing I look for in a potential employee is ambitiousness, and then see if that ambition has been translated into the demonstrated ability to take ownership of a project, run with it, and carry it through to completion. It doesn't necessarily need to be in the exact field that the applicant is applying for.
It sounds cheesy, but I also look for people that are passionate about the work. In my experience, people who are passionate about their jobs are able to work through any obstacles.
Q: If you could offer any advice to graduates as they make the transition from school to work, what would it be?
A: You can't wait for that perfect moment or that perfect time to do something good for yourself. You are going to be responsible for making your own opportunities and taking advantage of them.
Remember: the Career Conference kicks off on March 7th at 1 PM in the Forum. I'll see you there!
Just like RamTrack isn't like Google, LinkedIn isn't like RamTrack — at least not when we get down to the nitty-gritty. If anything, LinkedIn is one of the most tangible connections college students can make to the "real world" before graduation, and for someone like me — someone who fears the great unknown so much that it keeps her awake at night — it can be scary.
I'll be the first to admit that I have an irrational fear of LinkedIn, and as an act of offbeat self-preservation, I've been avoiding it for a while. I've heard about it in passing, and I told my mom I'd register for it a couple of years ago (I still haven't made good on that promise), but until now, my fear has prevented me from ever seriously considering it as a means of networking. In other words, I've taken to writing off the "world's largest professional network" as the world's largest necessary evil — an evil that serves no greater purpose than to make graduation and my impending doom feel that much closer. "Professional"? How dare they call me a "professional"? I'm not ready!
That being said, as a senior with a full course load, a part-time job, an internship at Career Services, and a need for career options, I don't have time to indulge my fear of LinkedIn, fear of "professional"-ism, fear of the future. I have to "fake it 'til I make it" — and believe that, in time, I will "make it." And you will, too.
So, when dealing with the great unknown — I think it helps, first, to orient oneself by thinking about it in comparison to what is familiar. For instance, if we were to compare LinkedIn to any other website, it would probably be Facebook; LinkedIn uses a similar interface — complete with personal profiles, a news feed, and status updates — that allows professionals to network with one another. According to Framingham State's Career Services Director, Jake Livengood, LinkedIn is where human resources and recruiters "hang out" — but they're not reading Buzzfeed articles or mixing combinations in Candy Crush Saga. They're looking for potential employees. They're looking for us! The only catch is that they can't find us if we're not there.
The registration process for LinkedIn is a bit more in-depth than the registration process for RamTrack, but I promise you, it's just as quick. According to LinkedIn, it takes less than two minutes, but if you can afford to spend a few more minutes (five, maybe?) on it, I encourage you to do so. Begin by clicking here, where you'll be prompted to enter your first name, last name, an e-mail address, and a password. I chose to use my student e-mail since I check it more often than my personal e-mail. When you click 'join now,' LinkedIn offers seven additional steps to help you find connections and build your profile.
1.) 'See Who You Already Know' is a feature that uses your e-mail address book to find people who are already registered on LinkedIn that you can 'connect' with. If you want to connect with people at Framingham State, I would suggest using your student e-mail. Be forewarned, the site does ask for the password to whichever e-mail account you choose to use, but if you're worried about it being swallowed up by the "world's largest professional network," don't be. I can attest to the fact that it's safe.
2.) Next, you'll be asked to start building your professional profile by providing some work experience — almost like you would if you were writing a résumé. You can add multiple jobs to your profile later, so just start with your current or most recent job/internship.
3.) The third step provides you with the results of the 'See Who You Already Know' search. Now, you can select people from your e-mail address book that you would like to have as LinkedIn connections. I ended up sending requests to 21 people, so it's definitely a useful tool.
4.) Next, you'll be asked to send invitations to people in your e-mail address book who haven't registered for LinkedIn. Don't be afraid to do so — especially if you've been sending them game requests on Facebook already!
5.) 'Do You Know These People?' is a feature that uses the information you've provided — and information from people you've chosen to 'connect' with — to generate a list of people you might know who are on LinkedIn, but not necessarily in your e-mail address book. For example, I found my roommate from freshman year (hi, Rachel!) using this, so make sure to keep an eye out for your friends.
6.) The sixth step gives you the option of entering your cell phone number so that LinkedIn can send a download link for the app to your smart phone. If you have a smart phone with 39.2 MB of free space, I encourage you to download the app! That said, if you're uncomfortable entering your cell phone number online, just search 'LinkedIn' wherever you purchase other apps and you should be able to find it. It's free!
7.) Lastly, you'll be asked to select your account type. I would recommend registering for a basic (free) account for now. You can upgrade at any time, and — like anything — you should take LinkedIn for a test drive before pouring money into it.
Once you're registered, you can start exploring. While you wait for some of your connection requests to be returned, edit your profile, scroll through your news feed (even if you don't have any connections just yet, there will be something to see), and make use of the search bar. Not only will you be fulfilling the promise you made to your mom a couple of years ago, but you'll be taking a few more steps in the right direction as you continue the job search process. What better way is there to spend a long weekend?
Oh, RamTrack.
RamTrack and I go way back — way back to before it was RamTrack! The last time I used it, Framingham State was still a part of the College Central Network, and I was an anxiety-ridden 18-year-old who thought if she didn't apply for a work study job weeks before school started, she wouldn't get one. Now, I'm an anxiety-ridden 22-year-old who knows if she doesn't apply for — or at least seek out — a few "real world" jobs before school ends, she'll be in even bigger trouble. It's funny how things come full circle, sometimes — or maybe that's just me. Anyway, back to RamTrack.
RamTrack is, by and large, a "search engine." However, it's unlike most search engines in that it won't direct you to Justin Bieber's mug shot or Kim Kardashian's Twitter… but it will direct you to numerous CHOICE internship and full-time job opportunities, most of which are at companies in neighboring cities and towns. Using RamTrack, you can search for full-time or part-time positions based on your personal interests and skill set. When you find an internship or job you're qualified for, you can upload your résumé and cover letter to your account and send them directly to potential employers. Before you ask — yes! That means you can apply for internships and jobs online, without having to leave the comfort of your dorm room! You can also use RamTrack to "keep track" as you go through the job search process (the calendar tool can be used to save the dates of appointments, career events, interviews, and personal/office events) and to learn more about upcoming career events, on-campus and off. I don't know about you, but I think that's a lot cooler than Justin Bieber's mug shot and Kim Kardashian's Twitter.
If you haven't done so already, you can register for RamTrack wherever you have access to a WiFi connection. I encourage you to register in the office (McCarthy 412) if you can (if you have questions, our Operations Facilitator, Nikki Curley, will be right there to help you), but if you'd like to do it elsewhere, just click here. While not all of the information is required, I'd recommend that you fill in as much as possible; it could help you narrow down your search(es). When you're finished, just click 'register.'
Once you're logged in, you can begin searching for internships and jobs using the 'job search' dropdown menu at the top of your home page. To customize your search, enter key words and select the type(s) of position(s) you are looking for. Personally, I'll be using "writing" as a key word and selecting 'full-time entry-level' from the 'position type' dropdown menu. As of February 7th, 2014, this search yields 46 potential jobs, and while I know not all of them will be right for me, it's encouraging to know how many employers need a writer on their staff. (Just so you know, a 'full-time entry-level' search provides 152 options and 'internship and CHOICE internship' provides 199 options).
After some exploring, I've discovered that most my 46 potential jobs are in some way related to technology (maybe I should've listened to my mom when she told me to take computer classes…) and there are several I'm not qualified for, but my search did yield four viable — albeit, given my personal interests, not entirely desirable — options: Sales Associate at The Bowdoin Group, Management Trainee at Research Rockstar LLC, Sales and Leasing Consultant at Bernardi Auto Group, and Optometric Office Front Desk Worker at Eye Care East. Who knew?
If, like mine, most of your initial search results aren't a perfect fit, don't be discouraged. It's likely that entering different key words will give you different results, and the most important thing to remember about RamTrack is that it's always changing. New internship and job listings are posted on a weekly basis and our Internship Coordinator, Dawn Ross, sends out an InternshipFlash every Friday with a reader-friendly summary of them; if you're interested, make sure to let her know you want to be added to her e-mail list!
Now that I've reacquainted myself with Framingham State University's job "search engine," I'll be checking back regularly to see what's out there. If I've learned anything in my college career, it's that diligence pays off, and with something like RamTrack at my fingertips — and yours — seeking out a few "real world" jobs is bound to be less intimidating than it would be otherwise.

Scientists have created genetically-engineered mice with artificial human chromosomes in every cell of their bodies, as part of a series of studies showing that it may be possible to treat genetic diseases with a radically new form of gene therapy.
Unlike conventional gene therapy techniques up to this point, the new process behind building these gene structures produces a 47th chromosome that does not interfere with the normal operations of the regular 46 set.
As described by Dr. Kouprina of the U.S. National Cancer Institute in Bethesda, Maryland who is involved with the project, "The idea is to take skin cells from a patient, turn them into stem cells and insert human artificial chromosomes (HACs) into these stem cells with healthy copies of the disease gene. These cells, with the extra chromosome, can then be inserted back into the patient to treat the illness."
I cannot even begin to fathom the potential this has to treat hereditary illnesses and beyond.

Interesting, yeah. Bradford Cox is in it, too.
He's playing an AIDS patient who is (I believe) transgendered for the movie Dallas Buyers Club. Also, it's Catalano,...
Maybe I actually AM slowly murdering him with my mind! Careful what you wish for folks.

This site is scored on its photo content—not videos!
Julia is a woman in her forties who is passionate about stockings and all manner of underwear. She used to teach college classes, but she walked away from that and now she's appearing on FF Stockings where she's educating us about things like pantyhose, garter belts, girdles and more.
Unless you were incredibly fortunate when you were attending school, Julia is sure to be the best teacher you've ever had and I've got to say that I'm rather fond of her methods. Rather than stand in front of a class and just give boring lectures, this mature woman gets naughty on camera and teaches you just how sexy undergarments can be. If only all schooling could be as exciting as visiting FFStockings.
There is a lot of content and it's pretty well-organized. There are 112 videos and they're all grouped together in their own section. The flicks last about 10 minutes and they can be streamed and downloaded in Windows Media format. Flash, 3GP and MP4 streams are available as well. It seems that you can mostly expect good-quality playback. However, for a while now she has been adding high-def scenes.
The photos have their own section, too. There are about 500 sets of pictures and they come with high-res images that you can download in Zip files. The pics show Julia stripping and exposing her stockings and panties, so they're worth a look. What's problematic is that the galleries are often broken up into parts and scattered throughout the section instead of being added one after another, which makes it a bit difficult to establish just how many there actually are.
Based on the dates, it looks like Julia is updating multiple times each week. The site isn't getting bigger with any sort of consistency, though, so it's possible that sometimes older material is being removed to make room for the new stuff. There are other sites, but you can only enjoy them if you're willing to pay more when you first sign up.
Anyone with an interest in older women, undergarments and lingerie would do well to give Julia's website a look. FF Stockings has hot content and the website gets better as it gets bigger.

How to install @ftrain's SavePublishing bookmarklet on an iOS device
If you haven't seen it yet, Save Publishing is cool. It's a javascript bookmarklet that automatically identifies the sentences on a webpage that are the right length to tweet as excerpts, along with a link back to the page. (It's easier to understand by seeing it in action.)
The problem is that installing bookmarklets in Mobile Safari on your iPhone or iPad isn't easy. In case you want to do it, here is the process:
- Go to the Save Publishing page and copy the bookmarklet's source code. (Its about half-way down the page.)
- Tap the share arrow (next to the URL field in Mobile Safari) and choose Bookmark. It doesn't matter what page you're on… you just need the bookmark. Name it "Save Publishing" or "Twitter Thing" or something like that and tap Save.
- Once the wrong bookmark is saved with the right title, tap the Bookmarks icon (looks like a little open book) and then tap Edit.
- Find the Save Publishing bookmark you just created and remove the URL then paste in the code you copied in Step 1.
- That's it!
Or you could just add the bookmarklet to Chrome or Safari on a computer if you have iCloud or Google set up to sync your bookmarks. That would work, too.

In honor of my wife's birthday today, the Friday Five list is songs by Blondie. Here are my five favorite:
- The Tide Is High — Autoamerican
- One Way or Another — Parallel Lines
- Rapture — Autoamerican
- Call Me — Autoamerican
- Dreaming — Eat to the Beat
I set my clocks early 'cause I know I'm always late.
In honor of my wife's birthday today, the Friday Five list is songs by Blondie. Here are my five favorite:
My five favorite Weird Al Yankovic songs:
I was supposed to run 10.75 miles this morning, but miscalculated where I needed to make a U-turn, so it was actually 11 miles on the nose. It took me almost exactly an hour and forty-five minutes — not bad for a week shy of 41 — and put me over 77 miles for the […]
According to my Nike Running iPhone app, I've logged over 475 miles on my Nike Free 4.0 sneakers, and it's time for a new pair. I only ever wear them for running, so that's actually pretty accurate. I have no idea what the average lifespan is for a pair of sneakers, and I suppose Nike […]
My five favorite John Williams film scores:
I probably should not have bothered to watch the end of the Spurs @ Heat game last night, but I didn't want to have missed it in case Miami managed to make a comeback. I still managed to hop out of bed at 5:15AM and lace up. I spent about fifteen minutes stretching and waiting […]
I had a brutal migraine when I went to sleep last night. I managed to make it through Game of Thrones and then conked out, still in pain despite several pharmaceutical attempts to relieve the ice pick in my brain. It was still there when my alarm started ringing at 0600, but I knew it […]
Here are my favorite songs from 1958:
I love you, sis.
My five favorite Beach Boys songs:
Today is the birthday of Roy Orbison (1936), born in Vernon, Texas, to Orbie Lee, a mechanic, and Nadine, a nurse. One day, during a songwriting session with his partner Bill Dees, Orbison asked his wife, Claudette Frady Orbison, if she needed any money for her upcoming trip to Nashville. Dees remarked, "Pretty woman never […]
There are ninety-three tracks from John Lennon's solo career in my iTunes library. Here are my five favorites:
The other eighty-seven are pretty awesome, too. You should listen to them all.
This one was tough, but here are my five favorite country songs:
My five favorite Pixies songs:
One of my favorite albums — Johnny Cash's Live at Folsom Prison — was released on this date in 1968. "You build on failure. You use it as a stepping stone. Close the door on the past. You don't try to forget the mistakes, but you don't dwell on it. You don't let it have […]
It's difficult to choose or rank your five favorite songs by an artist that you love so much, but here's a shot. I have quite a collection of Pink Floyd albums in iTunes, but all five of these are from The Wall.
I can't tell you how many times as a teenager I laid on my bed, wearing my bright yellow Sony Sports Walkman headphones, and blasting this album into my brain from start to finish.
If you include solo albums by John, Paul, and George, and things like Wings and the Plastic Ono Band, I've got over five hundred tracks in my iTunes library that I consider the work of The Beatles. I love The White Album indescribably, but even I don't want to hear Rocky Raccoon ten times in […]
My wife is pretty awesome. Baby It's Cold Outside – watch more funny videos
The only really annoying thing about the holidays is that most radio stations play the same ten or so songs over and over and over again. No matter how much you love the song, nobody wants to hear Baby, It's Cold Outside five times in the same day. You've got plenty of Christmas music in […]

In Spain, Catalonia has decided to ban bullfighting in its territory. The news caused a sensation in the summer torpor, just broken by the discovery of buried babies and twists business Bettencourt-Wisenberg. And in France, the debate on banning bullfights he advance?
Cultural exception or special culture?
An article on this blog last summer r evoked frontal oppositions between different parts pro and anti-bullfighting in France. With the Catalan vote, confrontation revives. For now the trend is favorable the ban. As often it is the antis who manage to make their voices heard. This does not mean that they will achieve their end. The strength of conservatism comes precisely from its historical precedence, moral or not.
Nevertheless, the pro-bullfighting feel the wind pass the ball. Consequently, they are on the frontlines to defend the idea that the Catalan vote is unique to Spain and the French situation is different. Simon Casas, a former bullfighter and bull organizer, told France Info, and we can listen to it here, considers that this is "a matter between the politician Catalan separatists and Spanish central government" refusing to consider it evokes the question "the legitimacy of bullfighting in Spain," preferring to argue that "the legitimacy of the law is being challenged" and defend the cultural exception, "even art" of bullfighting in southern France.
About one who gets more or less the same arguments that the statement Samadet in 2007 when the pro-bullfighting questioned as follows: ".The death of the bull that accompanies the history of humanity for millennia would it become so taboo that it is a priority item for modern democracies? But what then of violent deaths and misery of thousands of people complacently shown daily on our television sets? ".
Equally taken by the lobby of bullfighting cities calling Unicef to the rescue humanistic principles in a statement released on July 29 : "Recall that a convention of UNESCO enshrines the principle of respect for diversity and freedom in all areas of heritage and culture, asking only constraint compliance with the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. "
In this war of communication, everything is good to take, including humanitarian, as was the case at the time of the Ascension, to a bullfight organized for Haitians.
Bullfighting to the aid of Haiti (Nîmes) - Le Figaro
More on http://wizdeo.com/s/telemiroir - taurine Day charity organized to Nimes Arena for victims of the earthquake in Haiti.
Led by Muriel Marland-Militello (UMP) and Geneviève Gaillard (PS), a group of MPs seeking to shed light on money in the bullfight without achieving its purpose of creating a parliamentary commission on the issue for the hour.
The petition calling for a ban on bullfighting in France has 68,898 signatures on July 29, 2010 In my previous article on the subject, 11,112 had signed. Which leaves believe in a development of this movement that the Catalan initiative can only encourage. A survey commissioned by the anti-bullfighting alliance in the Gard department wants to offer an eloquent. 2/3 of the Gard surveyed say "unfavorable bullfights with spades, flags and killing of bulls."
The big cocks forgotten
Muriel Marland Militello therefore insists that its Group President, Jean-Francois Cope do register his bill on 13 July in the agenda of the Assembly, "to finally screed parliamentary lead is broken! To finally parliamentarians to debate this issue, just as do the members of the other side of the Pyrenees! ".
Bullfights are not the only shows where the animals die desired by men way. Thus, cockfighting is legal in our country, in the north of France and in some overseas territories, and are subject to financial paris, maybe a little less legal. Few in émeuvent.
Note: this article World returns well on the question of bullfighting in France

Bravewords.com > News > ACE FREHLEY Remembers Late Bodyguard Eddie Balandas - "He Had A Heart Of Gold And Was One Of A Kind"
RIP the opening to Alive 2 remains one of my earliest METAL MOMENT childhood memories.As reported earlier this week, former KISS crew member Eddie Balandas passed away in his sleep on Monday, October 10th, in the early hours of the morning from what appears to be the final stage of congestive heart failure.
Original KISS guitarist ACE FREHLEY has issued the following statement: "I was very saddened to hear of the passing of my old bodyguard and dear friend, Eddie Balandas... We had recently spent some time together in Indianapollis, Indiana this past August, and enjoyed reminiscing about our funny experiences together on tour with KISS in the 70s... he had a heart of gold and was one of a kind! "
Eddie was a KISS band crew member in their early years and is known as the "Voice of KISS" on the Alive II album where his announcement of the band is boldly proclaimed: "You wanted the best, you got the best. The hottest band in the world, KISS!"
got the new Insomnuim album... so far... really damn good
Listen To Korn's Bro-Step Skrillex Jam 'Narcissistic Cannibal' @ Antiquiet
Seems like a dumb argument. Sounds like Korn to me. Maybe a little more sonically deep. Korn always was about doing things a little different.This will undoubtedly divide the black-clad & perpetually angry oxy-monsters in the wastelands of middle-America's Wal-Marted suburbia, but the good news is that the conversation will likely remain there once this underwhelming novelty wears off.
Korn's not likely to win any new fans with this one (quite the opposite, I'd guess), but Skrillex escapes relatively unscathed. Whatever the case, you can download the song for free at Korn.com. The Path of Totality drops on December 6th. I'll be spending the day listening to The Black Keys' new album. This one, I'm not so sure.
Here's what another musician, James Blake, had to say recently to The Phoenix about the rise of the bro-step movement:
"I think the dubstep that has come over to the US, and certain producers – who I can't even be bothered naming – have definitely hit upon a sort of frat boy market where there's this macho-ism being reflected in the sounds and the way the music makes you feel. And to me, that is a million miles away from where dubstep started. It's a million miles away from the ethos of it. It's been influenced so much by electro and rave, into who can make the dirtiest, filthiest bass sound, almost like a pissing competition, and that's not really necessary. And I just think that largely that is not going to appeal to women. I find that whole side of things to be pretty frustrating, because that is a direct misrepresentation of the sound as far as I'm concerned."

KISS'd Off: Ace Frehley Fought Tommy Thayer ::KISS News ::antiMusic.com
Cannot wait to read this book.Ace Frehley says he once knocked Tommy Thayer to the ground in an argument over backstage rules made by Gene Simmons and Paul Stanley – which they regularly broke themselves.
The drama took place when Frehley was still a member of Kiss and Thayer was the band's tour manager, before taking on the 'Spaceman' persona after the founding guitarist left in 2002.
In his autobiography No Regrets, Frehley says mailmen Simmons and Stanley introduced a rule banning wives or girlfriends from the band's dressing rooms. He claims they frequently brought their own partners backstage – but when he did, Thayer confronted him, leading to the fight.

Georgia Bulldogs blog

Bulldogs' Gurley provides jolt of star power for SEC Media Days
- 6:00 am Thursday, July 17th, 2014 by Chip Towers
HOOVER, Ala. – Over the past three days, 24 players, eight coaches and six administrators have taken their turns on the podiums in the grand ballroom at the Hyatt Regency Wynfrey Hotel. On Thursday morning we'll finally get to hear from coach Mark Richt and the Georgia Bulldogs.
Georgia is the 11th of the SEC's 14 teams to stand before the microphones and cameras at SEC Football Media Days. Richt will be accompanied by wide receiver Chris Conley, linebacker Ramik Wilson and tailback Todd Gurley.
Ole Miss, Alabama and Kentucky, in that order, will round out what has been a record week [More]
Q&A: Kevin Sherrer on J.J. Green and leaving sweet home Alabama
- 12:17 pm Thursday, April 3rd, 2014 by Chip Towers
ATHENS – Kevin Sherrer is an Alabama man through and through. He was born in Oneonta, Ala., starred as a tight end at Cleveland (Ala.) High, played that position at the University of Alabama (1993-95) and was a grad assistant for the Crimson Tide. Since then he coached at two Alabama high schools, then was the director of player development at Bama before serving last year as the defensive coordinator at South Alabama.
So while he's moved a bunch the last 18 years, he hasn't ventured across the state line very much until now. Sherrer came east to join his old [More]
Q&A: UGA's Pruitt more interested in finding players than teaching schemes
- 12:37 pm Tuesday, March 11th, 2014 by Chip Towers
ATHENS – The Georgia Bulldogs open spring practice one week from today. When they do, all eyes are going to be on the defensive side of the ball.
Defense — along with a ridiculous number of injuries — is why Georgia lost five games last season. And for the first time in 50 years, the Bulldogs will be entering a spring with a totally new defensive coaching staff.
Georgia got more than a little fortunate when it landed Jeremy Pruitt from Florida State to coordinate the defense. Not only did the Seminoles win the national championship, but they also led the nation [More]
Update: After wavering, Chris Wilson takes USC job after all
- 12:58 am Friday, January 17th, 2014 by Chip Towers
See tweet above …
ATHENS – Todd Grantham was rather infamously introduced at Louisville as the new defensive coordinator on Thursday and the Washington Redskins announced that Kirk Olivadotti had been hired as inside linebackers. But if you've been paying attention like me, you may have noticed that Chris Wilson has yet to be named the new defensive line coach at Southern Cal.
There's a reason for that. According to sources familiar with Wilson's dealings with the Trojans and their new head coach Steve Sarkisian, Wilson is wavering. And who could blame him? That's a long, long way [More]
Rewind: Grantham's UGA departure was inevitable
- 9:00 am Monday, January 13th, 2014 by Chip Towers
ATHENS — How was your weekend? Georgia's was a little busy.
Of course, Todd Grantham's departure for Louisville dominated the news, and rightly so. I have to admit, it's something I didn't see coming. Coach Mark Richt had spoken convincingly at the end of the season of the need for continuity on defense, with 10 starters returning on that side of the ball next year. Then we had the resignation of secondary Scott Lakatos on Thursday and Grantham's acceptance of Louisville's rich offer sometime between Saturday and Sunday.
So now we're left with the chicken-and-the-egg question. Is this something that [More]

A minute after Mitt Romney uttered the infamous "binders full of women," a Tumblr was born. The blog's creator, Veronica De Souza, started posting images that played with those words, including a submission that combined an image of a Trapper Keeper (the loose-leaf binders of elementary school fame) with the words "Trap Her Keep Her." By the next morning there were nearly 2000 submissions, and everyone in America was talking about binders full of women.
That's just one example of the proliferation of blogs, videos, and other homemade political commentary thriving online in this election cycle and taking control of the story away from the campaigns and the news media. YouTube has become a breeding ground for mashup and parody videos that move virally and are far more memorable than the campaign ads.
A final thought on the election, I suppose.
Earlier: Presidential Primary Lulz, and ROFL Politics: The Viral Video Origins of the Tea Party.
In February, the Pew Research Center found that just two percent of those polled were closely following the election through Twitter, despite the fact that just about every political reporter and campaign staffer is glued to the social media platform all day.
Following the Etch A Sketch fracas, when Romney adviser Eric Fehrnstrom said the campaign would hit the "reset button" and "start all over again" when transitioning from the primary battle to the general election, Pew discovered in a March study that 55 percent of the public hadn't heard about the gaffe.

France Takes Stand Against GMOs, Monsanto Despite End of Ban
December 5th, 2011
Updated 11/08/2012 at 11:33 am
France is the latest nation to voice opposition against genetically modified crops, with GM maize unlikely to hit French fields next year despite the end of a ban Monsanto maize. The news comes as evidence compiles that French legislatures will launch new restrictions regarding the use of Monsanto's 810 maize on French soil.
It all began when France's State Council overturned the ban on Monsanto's GMO maize stating that it was not sufficiently justified. The organization then attempted to justify its decision by saying that the government did not give enough evidence to justify a ban. Under law, an EU country can only unilaterally ban a genetically modified strain if it can scientifically prove it is a risk to the health of humans, animals, or the integrity of the environment. Interestingly the ban was lifted under these circumstances after numerous reports have surfaced highlighting the many ways in which GMO crops and biopesticides are thoroughly damaging the environment.
This is why GMO crops are continually being banned around the world in a display of defiance against biotech giant Monsanto. Nations like Hungary have taken a stand against GMO crops and Monsanto, destroying 1000 acres of maize found to have been grown with genetically modified seeds. Many of the farmers were actually shocked to find they were using GMO seeds, which are resulting in extreme environmental consequence.
Peru has also taken a stand for health freedom, passing a monumental 10 year ban on genetically modified foods. Amazingly, Peru's Plenary Session of the Congress made the decision despite previous governmental pushes for GM legalization. The known and unknown dangers of GMO crops seem to supersede even executive-level governmental directives.
Even Nicolas Sarkozy, the current president of the French Republic, voiced his opposition to Monsanto's GMO maize:
"The French government keeps and will keep its opposition against the cultivation of the Monsanto 810 maize on our soil," Sarkozy said.
Nations and individuals around the world are ready to drive Monsanto out, and bring sustainable and health-promoting organic farming into their daily lives. Fresh produce is the future, free of GMOs and full of vital nutrients.

Disable Ping Dropdowns in iTunes 10.0.1
Thanks for the preference changes, the drop down was very annoying. For years I've been trying to comprehend Apple's inclusion of this link - for instance, if you own an album and click to gather all the tracks in the album why would you want to go to the iTunes store? You already have all the tracks. I can see why clicking an artist name might bring you to the store in Apple's hope to sell you other albums or tracks for the artists, and I do understand that a listener might only have one track on an album, &c... but it seems like that would be the minority of users, most would just want the convenience of seeing the entire album. And what about a user who's offline? *sigh* I remember when my computer wasn't constantly trying to sell things to me...

Signature Move:
Description: Miss Boo was very lonely living in the Haunted Mansion. Every time a traveler would visit, she would greet them with her amazing powers of transformation. However this spooked the travelers away. As a result, she started to entertain her self by transforming into different appliances for a short amount of time. Since she was alone in the house for such a long time, she has learned how to transform into the appliances by memory, so she can transform when the base of the appliance is not around. Now she can use it to her advantage
When ordered to use this move, Miss Boo will start to glow, then her appearance will start to change. Since she has been using this ability for quiet some time, she has lost control over what appliance she may change into. Whilst she is glowing, Miss Boo will change appearance into a random appliance.
Type: Ghost

Do a 'who' on the router and see if someone else is logged in. If they
are, jot down the line number, then do a 'clear line <line number>'
I've seen some routers get stuck like this a few times. Also try doing

Frightening new data from the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) reveals that in 2009, more than 14,000 people visited hospital emergency room for intentional drug poisoning.
Peter J. Delany, PhD, the director of SAMHSA's Center for Behavioral Health Statistics and Quality in Rockville, Maryland defines intentional poisoning as an attempt "to harm someone by deliberately getting them to take a potentially harmful substance without their knowledge."
In a new study published Thursday, researchers at the University of Pittsburgh and Dartmouth University found that American teens who listen to music hear about 34 name-brand references to alcohol every day — something that could contribute to teen substance abuse.

Rihanna is mourning the loss of her grandmother Clara "Dolly" Braithwaite, who has died following a battle with cancer, Contact Music reports. The R&B superstar expressed her grief via Twitter, offering a possible explanation for the disastrous performance she gave Saturday (June 30) at the Peace & Love Festival in Sweden.
"Goodbye #grangranDolly get your beauty rest until I see you," Rihanna tweeted, adding, "#grangranDolly that is all."
Ri went on to post a series of instagram tribute photos, and following a condolence tweet from Chris Brown's mother and manager, Joyce Hawkins, the Bajan beauty sent some love right back to her ex's mom.
"@mombreezy thank you!" Rihanna tweeted. "Love You Angel."
News of Dolly's passing surfaced after Rihanna angered fans in Sweden by taking the stage 45 minutes late and mistakenly dedicating a cover of Bob Marley's "Redemption Song" to Norway. Figuring she was drunk, some concertgoers even walked out.
That she seemed distracted is, in hindsight, not surprising: Rihanna was famously close to her grandmother, and last month, she spent Father's Day visiting Dolly in her New York hospital room. Afterward, she tweeted a series of photos and wrote, "My heart smiled and cried all at once."

I wonder how those fans feel who judged her not knowing she was suffering from a loss in the family. smh xo @RozOonTheGo

Out of the gulf came a voodoo child
spawned from the depths of hell,
And cast upon this melting pot
her black magic spell.
And the voodoo child she watches
her dark potion swell
To envelop and engulf the
poor serf and peasant.
Now the dead of the past
greet those of the present,
And form their bonds 'neath
the citie's pale crescent.
And the voodoo child she cackles and
twirls her feathers of fowl and pheasant.

1. Always plays great defense, even when his/her offense is "off".
2. Always hustles, boxes-out and rebounds.
3. Sees the whole floor and is an excellent passer, able to find the open teammate.
4. Is a good ball-handler, avoids costly turnovers.
5. Can shoot from outside.6. Can drive, "take it to the hoop".
7. Looks for the open shot all the time. Doesn't stop shooting just because of missing one or two shots early in the game. If a great player starts off "cold", he/she will usually get it going by hustling, playing good defense, getting a steal or two, and getting into the flow of the game, and getting an easy lay-up or free-throw. Then the shots will start falling.
8. Can make clutch free-throws.
9. Stays out of foul-trouble.
10. Has "mental toughness"... is able to sense the critical times in a game and elevate his/her game and teammates a notch (especially with defense, hustle and rebounding). Is able to make the "big plays" in crunch time.
Is able to do the "little things" needed to win...like making the pass to an open teammate, setting a perfect screen, making a steal, etc. Keeps focused...does not get upset by a bad call. Is able to forget mistakes and keep playing hard. Understands the game situation, the clock.
11. Inspires and leads his/her teammates by example, hard work and hustle in practice and during games. The exceptional player works harder than anyone else. You can't ask your teammates to practice and play harder if you're not there yourself. Exceptional players are not born...they become exceptional by hard work and dedication.
12. Understands the concept of "team" and "family". It takes more than skill to have a championship team. You must have team "chemistry", respect for each other, a common goal, and help and encourage each other.
13. The exceptional player is "coachable". Listens and works closely with the coach. Is willing to try new things and is willing to "step up" when the coach needs some leadership on and off the court.

It's being called the broadest overhaul of Wall Street regulation since the Great Depression. But look closely at the proposal announced this morning by Treasury chief Hank Paulson, and you'll find a thin veneer of regulatory filagree — designed to appease a public outraged by the mismanagement of its savings and the taxpayer-financed bailout of Wall Street's well-padded executives, but also, sadly, designed to accomplish just about nothing.
Paulson rearranges and consolidates lots of regulations and seems to beef up the oversight responsibilities of the Federal Reserve. But the Fed would not routinely examine the books of investment banks and hedge funds the way bank examiners now scrutinize regular banks, and agencies like the SEC would actually lose some of their current authority.
Most significantly, the proposal doesn't call for investment banks, hedge funds, and other currently unregulated financial institutions to hold capital assets proportional to the risks they're taking on. That's the case even though the Fed has now subjected taxpayers to the risk of bailing out any large financial institution that gets into trouble because it doesn't have enough capital to back up its risky bets. Even though two-thirds of subprime mortgages issued in the last five years originated with non-banks that have little or no capital requirements. Even though 80 percent of all lending today is from unregulated banks that hold almost no capital assets.
Paulson says he doesn't blame the current regulatory structure for current market turmoil. Well, Hank, if it's not the current Wild-West take-any-risk with other people's money non-regulatory structure we have now, how do you explain the housing bubble and the credit meltdown and the taxpayer bailout of Wall Street? How exactly are your proposed fixes going to prevent another crisis?
Hank Paulson's discussion paper – it's not even meant to be enacted under the Bush Administration – is not broad, it's not an overhaul, and heaven forbid, if we're facing another Great Depression, it will do absolutely zilch to head it off.
