While most girls vying for the title have put up online videos displaying their many…shall we say…assets?…Ms. Hajek–whom we found via Reddit– went in a different direction; creating a hilarious piece of performance art involving an interview with a giant puppet talk show host asking the kind of questions you’d really like to hear during one of these shows.

Purchasing managers at factories anticipate sales will grow 5.5 percent next year and capital investment will increase 1.9 percent, the Tempe, Arizona-based group’s semiannual forecast showed today.

A new calendar is a blank slate. All of the missteps of the prior year are erased and nothing but possibility is before us. What will happen in the next year? To a large extent, it’s up to us and how we think. Most of us set goals, make resolutions, about what we want to happen in that vast gulf that is represented in that empty calendar.

I gathered together two of my fellow networking experts: Frank DeRaffele, to write from the male perspective; and Hazel Walker to write from the female perspective. Our combined knowledge and experience came together to bring a unique perspective to this innovative book.
