Focus On Candidates With A Strong Interest In Your Company (A checklist for improving your candidate screening)
Ignore spammed resumes; focus on highly interested candidates. Unfortunately, it’s not unusual for 75% of today’s received resumes to come from individuals who aren’t even slightly interested in your company. In fact, other than its name, many of these spam applicants may literally know nothing else about your company. And that’s a problem, because smart hiring managers shouldn’t be wasting time on these disinterested applicants.
We ran against Beth Davidson. Now she gets our votes | Opinion
We both ran for the Democratic nomination in New York's 17th Congressional District and spent months watching candidates make their case to voters. That experience left us convinced that Beth Davidson is the strongest choice to represent our district in Congress.
We ran against Beth Davidson. Now she gets our votes | Opinion
3-minute read John Sullivan and Peter Chatzky Special to the USA TODAY Network June 15, 2026, 9:09 a.m. ET We both ran for the Democratic nomination in New York's 17th Congressional District and spent months watching candidates make their case to voters. That experience left us convinced that Beth Davidson is the strongest choice to represent our district in Congress. Congress is not a training ground or a stage for political theater.
‘Who’s Asking for This?’ Jerry Schlichter on Private Investments in 401(k)s
Jerry Schlichter has thoughts on the inclusion of private-market investments in 401(k) plans, and, in the least surprising development of 2026, he isn’t a fan. Calling it a square peg in a round hole, he immediately pointed to traditional impediments to offering the products in workplace plans. “Obviously, this is a complex area,” the 401(k) plaintiffs’ lawyer and Schlichter Bogard founder/managing partner said.
Blueberry Oatmeal Pancakes
Blueberry Oatmeal Pancakes I'm trying to eat less flour, but I also insist that my meals be tasty. After trying dozens of other people's recipes, I took ideas from all of them to create this. It's probably the most delicious thing I've ever had! By substituting out the eggs, it's easy to turn this into a vegan meal as well. Try a bite before topping with syrup, it's decadently yummy as-is! I make 'silver dollar' pancakes to take as snacks to potlucks.
Hidden math link helps designers build fantastic shapes
Princeton researchers combined two disciplines to help designers create unique shapes. Credit: Aaron Nathans/Princeton University Termite mounds are remarkable structures that regulate temperature, balance airflow, and maintain structural stability in some of Earth's harshest climates. And like other irregular, disordered systems, they can be difficult to replicate with modern engineering techniques.
Opinion: Some suggestions for moving Wallingford forward Original
As the deadline nears for the mayor to release his fiscal year 2026/27 budget proposal, many residents are expecting yet another property tax increase. Unless the Town Council can find budget reductions during their workshops, most property owners will probably be hit with a one- to two- percent increase. This will cause many property owners to make choices.
La traición de los patriotas
Tras el ataque ilegal de Donald Trump a Venezuela y la detención de Nicolás Maduro, la última semana nos ha dejado reacciones de todo tipo: muchos de los que celebraban el fin de la dictadura venezoalana ahora se quitan lo bailao viendo que Delcy Rodríguez ha sido la elegida del invasor yankee para gobernar el país; otros se frotan las manos viendo la oportunidad de negocio en este nuevo tablero geopolítico; y otros, abiertamente, han sugerido la idea de un ataque norteamericano al Palacio de...

Researchers send a wireless curveball to deliver massive amounts of data
Ultrahigh frequency bandwidths are easily blocked by objects, so users can lose transmissions walking between rooms or even passing a bookcase. Now, researchers at Princeton engineering have developed a machine-learning system that could allow ultrahigh frequency transmissions to dodge those obstacles.
Fall sports highlights
Volleyball On December 6, in University Park, Pennsylvania, the most successful class in Yale volleyball history walked off the court together for the final time. The Bulldogs had just been knocked out of the opening round of the NCAA tournament by Utah—their third straight first-round exit from the tournament—but no loss could dim this team’s glory. Yale entered this season with high expectations after an undefeated conference season and a third straight Ivy League title in 2012.
Physical cloaking works like a disappearing act for structural defects
Now, engineers at Princeton and the Georgia Institute of Technology have developed a technique that can be used to maintain structural integrity by essentially hiding the opening from the surrounding forces. Rather than reinforcing the opening to protect against a few select forces, the new approach reorganizes nearly any set of forces that could affect the surrounding material to avoid the opening.
What the Pope Told Me About Politics Original
My brief tour with Pope Francis, the diplomat of our times. Only a handful of times in my life have I witnessed an instance of what could be described as perfect manners, and one of those occurred in Azerbaijan, during a period of three or four days that I spent following Pope Francis around. This was almost a decade ago. He was on some kind of official Vatican interfaith-outreach tour, which involved paying visits to a couple of nations with tiny Catholic populations, Georgia and Azerbaijan.
Improving Your Recruiting Results By Updating Your Sourcing Metrics (A checklist of what to fix)
Blame sourcing and its metrics when you’re not getting top candidates. It is increasingly important to focus on the effectiveness of both sourcing and recruiting. First, because all corporate overhead functions are being pushed to “do more with less.” Second, AI and machine learning are slowly creeping into sourcing and cannot operate without robust metrics and data.
Eat "Ice Cream for Breakfast Day" Like A Local In These Unforgettable Spots
Move over pancakes and scrambled eggs; it’s time to revolutionize breakfast. On Eat Ice Cream for Breakfast Day (unofficially the most delicious day of the year and coming up on Feb 1st, 2025), it isn’t about coffee paired with toast; it’s about trading in AM norms for scoops that are creamy, sweet, and arguably better than waking up itself.

Guadalupe Correa-Cabrera and John P. Sullivan The headlines on both sides of the border continue to be dominated by speculation over the details of the 25 July 2024 capture of two important capos of the Sinaloa Cartel: Ismael “El Mayo” Zambada and Joaquín Guzmán López, one of the “Chapitos” (son of the legendary “Chapo” Guzmán).
The Top 5 Boldest Recruiting Practices (For when you grow a pair!)
The demand for talent is at a record high, while aggressive recruiting is sadly at a 20-year low. Yes, it’s sad to report that aggressive recruiting is fading into the past, just like rock ‘n’ roll. As a result, most corporate recruiting functions have slowly transformed into conservative copycat functions. Today, even former recruiting powerhouse companies like Google and Amazon have slowly joined the crowd. They are becoming painfully conservative.

Summer Issue of Plan Consultant Is Now Online!
The digital Summer 2024 edition of Plan Consultant, ASPPA’s members-only magazine, has just been posted online! Fifty years, fifty candles, but virtually numberless effects.

Talent Management Lessons From The Olympics (Learn from the world’s greatest talent competition)
The Olympics produce the world’s greatest talent performances, so corp. leaders should learn why. In a world where the very future of a corporation may now be determined by its talent density in strategic areas like AI, Quantum Computing, data security, and technology development. Benchmarking against all industries and organizations that excel at building talent density (i.e., a high concentration of top-performing employees in a strategic area) makes sense.

The “No Application Required” Recruiting Strategy (Providing employed top talent with “job search deniability”)
Top employees are reluctant to apply for external jobs because it makes them appear disloyal. “Getting caught” would not only be embarrassing, but it would likely result in some career damage at their current company. However, this “no application required” strategy delays any formal job application.

Business Owners Concerned About Economy, Delay Retirement
While many employers are helping to prepare their employes for retirement, many fail to do so for themselves. Part of the reason is concern about the economy, and part of it is due to a lack of saving and succession planning, according to a new survey from Nationwide. The majority of small business owners (72%) and mid-market business owners (51%) rate the current condition of the U.S. economy overall as 'poor' or 'fair,' with inflation topping their list of concerns at 61%.

Caterbot? Robatapillar? It crawls with ease through loops and bends
(Nanowerk News) Engineers at Princeton and North Carolina State University have combined ancient paperfolding and modern materials science to create a soft robot that bends and twists through mazes with ease. Soft robots can be challenging to guide because steering equipment often increases the robot’s rigidity and cuts its flexibility. The new design overcomes those problems by building the steering system directly into the robot’s body, said Tuo Zhao, a postdoctoral researcher at Princeton.
