last poll, MSCPA asked you which was your favorite subject
in school. Your results
are as follows:
Contrary to Popular Belief... The Encyclopaedia Britannica is not British. Scottish
printer Colin Macfarquhar, Scottish illustrator
Andrew Bell, and Scottish scholar William Smellie
began publishing the first election of the Encyclopaedia Britannica in From Contrary to Popular Belief
by Joey Green Broadway Books, 2005 > This is
your opportunity to tell MSCPA what keeps you up at night! Ask us anything! > Wall Street Journal
Unveils New, Narrower Design The Wall Street Journal unveiled a new, smaller design
that publisher Dow Jones & Co. hopes will save money and help make the
paper more appealing to a wider base of readers, especially young
professionals. http://accounting.smartpros.com/x56075.xml > Survey Suggests Workers Most Motivated by Recognition of Achievements While
hosting team-building events and giving increased responsibility are common ways
to motivate staff, a new survey shows a simple "thank-you" will
also win over employees. Thirty-five percent of workers and 30 percent
of CFOs polled cited frequent recognition of accomplishments as the most
effective nonmonetary reward. Regular communication
was the second most common response, given by 20 percent of employees and 36
percent of CFOs. > Leadership Skills Give Job Candidate Edge, Employers Say Leadership
makes a difference, according to a new report. Employers responding to NACE's Job Outlook 2007 survey said that the
job candidate who has held leadership positions has the edge over those that
have no such record. http://accounting.smartpros.com/x55833.xml _____________________________________________________________
