The Big Ten Conference got shaken up for the second straight week as two of the undefeated teams went down in surprising upsets. Michigan State was on a roll and had a perfect opportunity to take out the Wolverines. We stepped in and used this game as our Revenge Game of the Year, as Michigan State has superior team this season.

Business leaders face a challenge when hiring new employees: how to get the best possible fit between the people they hire and the jobs that the new employees will perform. Two approaches to achieving this "perfect fit" are hiring-based and training-based.

Thunder eggs, or geodes, are geological rock formations which occur in sedimentary and certain volcanic rocks. They look like regular rocks from the outside, the exterior typically made up of limestone, but then have crystal formations of quartz on the inside.

Before shopping mall movies theatres thrived and theatre conglomerates ruled, independent theatres existed in small towns through the country. Often they served as a local center for a shared community experience. When TV proved to be a formidable opponent, the local exhibitors stepped up the public spectacle through promotional showmanship in order to revitalize not only its role in the community but often the local community spirit itself. The article focuses on the efforts of small midwestern theatres in Illinois.
The fateful final question of all interviewers may carry more weight than you would think. Upon hearing “Now, do you have any questions,” you are given a chance to show the quality of your character and interest in the company. No matter how well the interview went, passively responding to this question with a shake of the head and a polite smile will only communicate to the employer that you are not interested in inquiring about the job, the company, and your place within their organization.
