New Poll Shows Hillary Clinton, Marco Rubio More Popular Than Obama

- Leave a comment
President Barack Obama's second term just got under way, but it's outgoing Secretary of State Hillary Clinton who is far more popular, according to a new Quinnipiac poll testing politicians' favorability ratings. Need evidence that House Republicans are unpopular? House Speaker John Boehner sits at the bottom of the list, by far, in terms of net favorability. The poll, which surveyed 1,772 registered voters nationally, was conducted between January 30 and February 4. It has a margin of error of +/- 2.3 percentage points.
Visit National Journal to see how all nine politicians tested fared, from most popular to least.

And changes everything...
Let's just get right to it: Your bottom line is not your starting point.
In a presentation to a professional association of productivity experts, I re-learned something that floored me.
Whether it's an hourly fee or a package of services, women entrepreneurs steel themselves to a solid, gotta-have-it number and give themselves absolutely no wiggle room to make themselves and their potential clients happy.
That's my price and I'm stickin' to it.
Women also do this in salary negotiations where they start at their end point, and desperately cloy to it as they wind their way to and past their resentment number.
This is why my business partner Victoria Pynchon and I say triple your fees and anchor your salary requests high—so that you find your way (make concessions, ask for reciprocity) to the sweet spot where everybody's happy.
Every time we say it, we hear gasps of horror. Are you kidding? I'll never get work.
But the number you set on the table is far from what's hindering you from getting the gig or job.
What's missing from your success quotient is the experience of having a good conversation—listening and feeling heard, and like both of you are going the extra mile to find mutually beneficial solutions.
Ironically, women excel at this kind of conversation, but because negotiation carries the baggage of conflict, we discount the possibility of a collaborative exchange.
Negotiation is not about sticking to your guns.
It's about communicating your value to your conversation partner in a way that allows them to see opportunities and solutions they couldn't see before.
If you've based your income goals on your hourly rate, and you have a habit of "steeling yourself" during conversations with potential clients, you get two kinds of results: you either whittle your rates and packages down past your resentment number (what you were trying so desperately not to do), or you fail to get the client because you didn't have any give and take.
No grace. No wiggle.
It's like shopping for shoes at some sci-fi Nordstrom. You get one style, one color, and if they're out of your size, back to the end of the line.
Once upon a time you invented your hourly fee. You looked at what others were charging, researched, tested your offers with some low hanging fruit, and settled into a groove. That groove is now a rut and the only way out is to raise your fees and re-examine your market.
Diana, a friend of mine who is a productivity consultant, decided to shift focus from working with individuals to doing staff/team training and coaching for small businesses and corporations. In other words, she shifted her focus to a market that matched her career aspirations and her bank account.
So in January Diana started out charging a small fee for group trainings, and the same hourly coaching rate she'd been charging individuals. She was working harder, making less and getting fewer clients.
To stop me from brow beating her, Diana doubled her hourly coaching fee and tripled her training fees. She now has more work than she can handle and she met her 2012 income goals by the end of May.
While the money's good, what's really shifted is Diana's experience of negotiation. Because she created wiggle room in her fees, her mindset changed from "steeling herself" to something more like "improvising a recipe…a pinch of this, a dash of that."
From a skills perspective, Diana spends most of her energy asking open-ended diagnostic questions for discovery, needs assessing and brainstorming and she feels she's working less to "sell" and more to "accommodate."
And when she anchors her price, she lets it sink in. If her potential client seems a bit itchy, she asks more questions. And if things feel like they're headed south, she changes the game. She tosses everything out the window and asks, "If you could have anything you want, what would it look like?"
So…slow things down, get conversational, raise your fees, and call me from the bank.

Great advice here. I especially appreciate the specific suggestions. As I read about the importance of the interchange – the communication process – I was reminded of weighty conversations with my bright adult son. I always take pains to convey my reasons fully and listen carefully to his responses. That takes confidence in the value of my opinions and his willingness to at least consider them and attention to his responses. As Lisa suggests, these are the skills we need to bring to negotiations.
Great article. It's very true, when I've spoken to many women, their first offer is almost always their last. Men, on the other hand, seem to do things differently. I think it's the thrill of the chase or something, but we guys, we put up walls that are MEANT to be taken down, but delivering something on at least some agreed, even keel of the original starting point, even if the dollars may not be exactly the same.
Hello Lisa,
In my job, I have negotiated very successfully with vendors and customers. But recently, I had to negotiate for myself (as a consultant) and wow – did I falter. You hit the nail right on the head about the "baggage of conflict". I have to move beyond that and accept that there is a balance between being nice and being foolish :) Thanks for all your tips – will definitely help me in my next rate negotiation.
The good news is that most people believe that "price is a reflection of quality."
In a study published online, earlier this year in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, students at the Stanford Graduate School of Business and the California Institute of Technology were placed in an MRI machine and given sips of red wine–including the same one presented twice, with two different price tags: $5 (the actual bottle price) and $45 (a fictional price).
The subjects all said they liked the "expensive" wine better–a preference mirrored by increased activity in their prefrontal cortexes. When people know a wine is expensive, the pleasure they get from it is enhanced in the area of the brain where such sensations are processed.
The lesson, says Baba Shiv, an associate professor of marketing at Stanford: "There's a temptation among marketers to keep reducing prices. We're saying be careful before you embark on that strategy."
Believing that lack of profit results only from higher costs fails to recognize the importance of setting and maintaining adequate profit margin pricing. And if maintaining adequate margin pricing causes you to walk away from some business opportunities, so be it. The business that you lose due to high prices is the business you can't afford to maintain.
Excellent advice and well stated, Lisa.

Innovation continues to flourish in San Diego
Two forces were at work in the first half of 2013 influencing San Diego's biotech and technology sectors: venture capital and sequestration. While a slow revival in venture capital funding brought jobs growth to the region's tech and biotech companies, budget cuts implemented by the U.S. government affected federal research funds and contractors working in the defense technology sector. Following are some of the big stories in biotech and technology so far this year.

MORRISVILLE — In 1865, this tiny railroad town saw some of the Civil Wars last days its concluding cannon blasts, the final thundering of soldiers feet.
If you stand in Morrisville Square now home to a Vietnamese restaurant and an Islamic Center you can see the forest where Confederate troops dug their rifle pits.
If you look down Morrisville-Carpenter Road past Town Hall, you can see where Union cavalry fired artillery, chasing the rebels toward surrender.
Its an obscure chapter in the war, a minor skirmish forgotten in the pages of history.
But many in Morrisville hope the town will preserve at least part of the battleground, now threatened by development. They hope history can reshape the identity of their small and fast-growing town, best known for being next door to the airport.
Whats more valuable? asked Ernest Dollar, director of the City of Raleigh Museum. More houses or a truly unique place that will drive a tourism business?
Morrisvilles chapter in the war covered two days in April of 1865 just after Raleighs fall to the Union army, just before the wars largest surrender in Durham.
For the most part, all that remains from that battle is an 18-acre patch of woods, a hardwood forest overlooking Indian Creek. Walk through it with Dollar, who has researched Morrisvilles war days for 20 years, and hell point out dips in the ground that soldiers likely dug for cover.
Conflict with neighbors
For decades, the property was owned by Hans H. Stadelmaier, a professor emeritus of materials science and engineering at N.C. State University. Before he died in 2012, he helped found the Carolina chapter of the American Society of Metals, not to mention Raleighs Little German Band.
But the battlegrounds future lies in doubt.
Morrisville is set to vote on a new zoning map. The 18-acre site is now zoned agricultural and would change to very low-density residential if that plan is approved.
Town Planning Director Ben Hitchings noted that both zoning designations allow the same density of housing: about one unit per acre.
But to residents, just changing the name to residential is symbolic, and it would quickly usher in home builders. Some in the nearby Savannah neighborhood have formed a group pushing for the lands preservation and urging residents to write the Town Council by March 25.
The battlefield, they say, actually covered far more ground in Morrisville that has already been developed, and sparing this piece would also add a rare plot of forested land.
Pretty much everyone Ive talked to wants to see it preserved, said Rebecca Crandall, an intellectual-property attorney who lives in Savannah. When we were building our homes, we didnt know that Savannah was on the same site.
Stadelmaier had two daughters and a son, and Wake County records list daughter and executrix Christiane Stadelmaier of Boston as the owner of the property. She could not be reached.
History vs. progress
Hitchings said that the property is for sale and that the family has expressed interest in setting aside a portion of the property as a historic park in exchange for higher housing density on the rest. But the town has received no formal request, he said.
Feelings on the Town Council differ.
Morrisville recently added a Civil War exhibit inside Town Hall, including bullets, buttons and buckles unearthed from the ground. Signs link it to the Civil War Trail statewide. Dollar created a documentary about the battle which shows in the lobby.
Councilman Michael Schlink noted Durham has the better-known Bennett Place a few miles away, site of the Confederate surrender. Raleigh has the Confederate graves inside Oakwood Cemetery. He doubts Morrisville could afford the land or run it as a city park, a role usually reserved for the state or federal government.
If we could attract more single-family housing in our town center, that would help, he said. Thats what we hear from the business community. They want more customers.
But to Councilwoman Vicki Scroggins-Johnson, a town doesnt get many chances to hold on to an undisturbed forest, let alone a battle site.
Its of national significance, she said. Although its not Gettysburg, its one of the last places that fired artillery.
Under the Morrisville ground, the last pieces of history wait to learn how the story ends.

The holidays are in full swing, and before you know it you will be left with the daunting task of putting away all of those Christmas decorations. Did you know that those beautiful Christmas wreaths, lights, ceramic nativities, and even your artificial Christmas tree can be a favorite hideout for pests all year long?
There are a few simple and inexpensive steps you can take now, so you don't end up with a serious pest infestation later. The last thing you want is to create a safe haven for rodents, cockroaches, silverfish, spiders or scorpions.
How To Keep Pests Out Of Your Christmas Decorations
Use proper storage bins. When storing your Christmas decorations, avoid using cardboard boxes. The tape, cardboard, and glue are a favorite food among roaches and silverfish. They can easily slip through the crevices of these cardboard boxes too. Opt instead for plastic tubs with tight fitting lids. These will surely help keep the bugs out of your decorations.
Use a Christmas tree bag. Again, toss the cardboard box your artificial Christmas tree came in, and use a Christmas tree bag that will tightly zip. Rodents like mice, squirrels, and rats love nesting in artificial trees year round. These trees provide pests with a safe shelter, much like they'd find in the wild.
Quickly throw away your real tree. That wonderful smelling Evergreen you chopped down on a family outing needs to be quickly disposed of; before rodents and other pests take notice, and take cover inside.
Seal linens in plastic bags. Your stockings and Christmas tablecloths can offer a quick meal for pests like clothing moths, and cockroaches. Make sure items like these are sealed in plastic bags to keep out any humidity which can also attract pests.
Throw away edible decorations. I know you spent hours on that beautiful gingerbread house you made, but pests like mice and rats will quickly make a meal of it. The same goes for those candy canes you used to decorate the tree. Edibles will only attract pests.
Inspect storage area. Before you start stacking those plastic tubs of Christmas decorations in your garage, basement, or attic; look for existing signs of pests nearby. Rodent droppings, spider webs, and dead insects are a dead give away of a pest problem.
Clean, clean, clean. After inspecting your storage area for signs of pests, and before you start stacking the plastic tubs, make sure the area is clean. This simple act can go along way in keeping the bugs and pests away.
Get pest control. If you see any signs of pests where you are storing your Christmas decorations, get help from an Austin exterminator. Scorpion control, roach control, and spider control treatment plans can keep those pests away from your décor all year round. You don't want to get bit or stung when you get them out for next season.

But let's say you already accept the reality of climate change. Or that you don't. Either way, "Chasing Ice" by Jeff Orlowski is heart-stopping in its coverage of the brave and risky attempt by a scientist named James Balog and his team of researchers on the Extreme Ice Survey, where "extreme" refers to their efforts almost more than to the ice. At a time when warnings of global warming were being dismissed by broadcast blabbermouths as "junk science," the science here is based on actual observation of the results as they happen. When opponents of the theory of evolution say (incorrectly) that no one has ever seen evolution happening, scientists are seeing climate change happening right now — and with alarming speed. Here is a film for skeptics who say "we don't have enough information."
James Balog has photographed many stories and films for National Geographic, often about endangered species. This time he bit off more than most people would be terrified to chew. During repeated expeditions to Greenland, Iceland, Alaska and Montana, his team took stop-motion cameras, anchored them in place, and shielded them from violent winter weather. Some were destroyed, and they returned with improved installations, using ingenious methods to match up camera locations in a constantly evolving ice-scape of blinding white.
The Extreme Ice Survey has been collecting the results since 2007. The images in this film are mostly three years old, but definitive. We see glaciers retreating from ice mountains to expose the rock they rest on. One glacier loses the height in ice of the Empire State Building. We join a team of Balog's scientists as they hunker down inside anchored tents and wait days to film in real time an event they know is about to happen: The "calving" of an iceberg as a large chunk breaks off into the sea. I believe I saw some of this same footage on the news, but this film provides the context, and an idea of the scale I didn't get on TV: The chunk that breaks off is the size of lower Manhattan!
Did some of that melting ice later visit Manhattan in the form of Hurricane Sandy? Does melting ice cause a rise in the global sea level? Does the bathtub fill up when you turn on the tap? As a scientist, how can you be sure the very ice you're standing on won't crumble beneath your feet?
You can't be. At one point Balog and his colleagues want to photograph a glacier that is already rotting, with streams of water pouring down sinkholes that descend out of sight. Using spiked shoes and pitons, they advance down the frozen side of one of these sinkholes, and he decides: "I'm not going down there. It's bottomless."
Balog himself is in the tradition of Arctic explorers who endure great pain to carry out their missions. Born in 1952, the craggy scientist isn't a young man when he conducts his treks across the ice, and eventually undergoes four knee surgeries. He tells his doctor: "I could feel chunks of bone moving around inside my knees. I realize I was masking the pain with steroids and medication." The damage he did was severe, and yet in the next season, we see him returning again to inspect his cameras — on crutches.
The opponents of the theory of global warming often seem to be financed by the fossil fuel industries. The "green" teams looking into such energy sources as solar, wind and nuclear are often ridiculed. Watch "Chasing Ice" and see if you laugh.
Note: Photographer James Balog will host a Q&A session after the 7:20 p.m. screening.
