Over a decade of Sandy's weekly written articles on strategies and motivation for your business and your life.
A few days ago, an insurance company branch manager I'm coaching, Brian, was complaining that his agents were not doing what he told them to do.
"I wanted them to talk with their older clients about introducing them to their children," he told me, "But most of them didn't do it."
"How did you ask them? What exactly did you say?" I inquired.
His response was, "I hope you'll remember to speak with your older clients about those introductions we discussed."
Hmm, precatory language, I thought. Precatory language is a wish or desire that doesn't rise to the level of a command and doesn't have to be granted. I had learned about this when I was practicing law. A client's father had left him some property in his will, adding: "…It is my wish that he share the property with his nephews." My client didn't want to share the property, and the judge ruled that he didn't have to, because "It is my wish" is only precatory.
If you want your employees or your clients to do something, ask for it clearly and be very specific. Then, ask them to agree and offer your help if they need it.
Brian's problem also reminded me about my discussion with Jim awhile back. Jim's managers did not use powerful words to get the attendance of their advisors at an important meeting. But Brian's precatory language in addressing his agents here was weak in an elevated way. "I hope you'll remember…" did not even attempt to mandate anything. It was just a wish or desire.
Brian could have said something like this:
"I want each of you to speak with at least three of your older clients about being introduced to their children and report the results back to me by Friday. Will you all agree to that? Pete? Bill? Joe?"
This would have been a clear request. Even better, it would have created an agreement. Managers who complain to me that their teams aren't meeting their expectations, are usually not getting agreements from their teams.
Similarly, many sales professionals complain that their expectations with respect to the actions of their clients aren't being met. But as long as they have only expectations between them and the people they want to take action, they will continue to be disappointed. They need agreements.
Use clear, powerful language, and obtain agreements. The result will be significantly less disappointment. Whatever you do, keep wishing, keep asking, and keep REACHING…
Start by BEING
Clients often seek me out hoping that I can help them DO what they need to do, so that they can HAVE what they want in their lives, and then BE the person they always wanted to be.
But this approach is actually in the wrong order. If they get help to BE the person they want to be, they'll DO what they need to do, and then they'll HAVE what they always wanted to have.
While a lot of authors (including me) have written about this paradigm, my friend and colleague, Elise Holtzman, who coaches attorneys, put it simply and elegantly in her recent newsletter:
"[T]here's a question I'd like you to ask yourself before you even reach the question of what to DO differently and it's this: Who or what do you need to BE in order to get what you want? What state of being or thinking can you start adopting now so that changing what you are doing will be easier and more likely to stick?"
To get them started, Elise gives her clients examples of how they might want to BE:
- Confident about my abilities and the value I provide to clients and colleagues
- Someone who believes in lifelong learning
- Willing to accept help from others
- Kind and patient with myself and those around me
- An attentive and genuinely interested listener
- Accepting of the notion that I don't have to be perfect
- Open to trying new things and to being a little bit uncomfortable
I often ask clients who they'd need to BE in order to DO the things they haven't done, so they can HAVE what they say they want. We play the "What would the best [advisor] in [your state] do?" Game. I'm never surprised that they list or talk about things they're not already doing themselves.
Who we're being affects everything else—what we do and what we have. If I'm being a needy salesperson, I'll do and say needy salesperson things and I'll have…little to show for my efforts. If I'm being a sturdy, trustworthy advisor, interested only in serving my clients, I'll speak powerfully and do powerful things as their advocate. As a result, I'll develop fiercely loyal clients.
Who we're being is also something we can change. In Reinventing Yourself, author Steve Chandler teaches us that our personality is something we create:
"Most of us live in a cocoon of personality—the made up story of who we are.[…] We tell ourselves stories about our personality—but these stories aren't reality. Deep down, we know we're more than this personality.[…] We could tear open this cocoon if we wanted to. We could push out and see the light of the world. We could learn to fly."
If we accept Chandler's premise, who we're being can be changed at any time. If you don't have what you want, the right question to ask yourself isn't "What do I need to do?". It's "Who do I need to be?".
In 2015, plan on BEING whomever you want, and whatever you want will follow from enacting your plan. In the meantime, keep REACHING…
Say "Yes" to Your Dream
"I don't know how I got to this point," Richard told me.
Richard was in his sixteenth year as an attorney. He was still a "Junior" Partner in his firm because he did not bring in enough business to be promoted to Senior Partner. He was still working sixty hours a week and, although he was paid extremely well by most people's standards, he joked about how little it was if you figured it by the hour.
While I usually work with "independent" professionals, Richard's challenge is one that is common to almost all professionals—the urgent need for more clients.
"What if I conjectured that you are somewhat comfortable right where you are?" I asked him.
"Comfortable, here?" he responded indignantly, "I'm not where I am by choice!"
Jim Stovall, author of The Ultimate Gift and a former Olympic weightlifter, who lost his sight at age 29 and found a way to change his life for the better, tells his audiences:
"You are where you are because that's where you chose to be."
You can blame everyone else and your circumstances for where you end up, Jim says, but regardless, if it's not where you intended to be, you need to look in the mirror (whether you can see or not) and say, "I guess I didn't want it that badly."
"Nothing will happen until you say 'yes' to your dream," Jim proclaims.
"Where do you want to be?" I asked Richard.
"I want full partnership," he told me.
"What do you need to do to get there?" I asked.
"I need to bring in some really large cases," he responded.
"How would you do that?" I pressed.
"I don't know," was his honest response.
"How badly do you want it?" I queried next.
"It's practically all I think about," Richard confided.
"Then I take it you're willing to learn and do the things you need to do?" I asked.
Richard said "yes" to his dream and with a little coaching, he began to bring in the right kind of business to his firm. To start getting new and better clients, he needed to make new and better choices.
Are you making the choices you need to make to be where you want to be? First, you have to say "yes" to your dream. Then, keep REACHING…
P.S. What dream do you need to say "yes" to? Tell me about it in the comments below this blog.
Two Simple Words…
Tomorrow my American friends and I celebrate Thanksgiving.
It's a day to be with family, to eat too much, and to reflect on all of those things and people in our lives for which we are grateful.
In my life there are so many: A loving family and dear friends…good health…living in relative peace and safety…never going hungry…being able to do work I love every day with clients who inspire me…and my growing e-letter and Blog community.
This week I'll take a break from my usual messages, lessons and stories and just simply say…
Have a great Thanksgiving!
Persistence Means Trying MORE Than Once…
Peter is a top financial advisor with annual earnings approaching seven figures. He is a consummate professional devoted to his target market: the "average" American who wants the advice usually reserved for so-called "high net worth" clients.
There is nothing about Peter that suggests "salesman". His look is "regular guy". He dresses as his target market might hope for him to dress: in an off-the-rack blazer and slacks, sometimes spiffed up with a very conservative tie. He drives his Altima to appointments and keeps his Mercedes in his garage for weekend outings with his wife. He talks with authority, but plainly, and with only gentle urging for them to do the right thing, he helps clients make important life decisions over coffee and cake.
I once asked Peter to visit a workshop I was running for young financial professionals, so that he could share his words of wisdom.
"How have you become so successful?" one starry-eyed advisor asked him.
Peter's instant, one-word response was: "Persistence."
"I know it sounds too simple," he elaborated, "But that's it."
"I'm not smarter than anyone else, I just persist. I had the same problems you are having in the beginning. If you're doing the right activities, you just can't give up when things aren't going right. Each person you talk with has connections to other people who could use your help, and if you treat them right, they'll want those people to work with you, too. You can't give up just because you have setbacks."
Similarly, Calvin Coolidge is attributed with having said:
"Nothing in this world can take the place of persistence. Talent will not; nothing is more common than unsuccessful people with talent. Genius will not; unrewarded genius is almost a proverb. Education will not; the world is full of educated derelicts. Persistence and determination alone are omnipotent. The slogan 'press on' has solved and always will solve the problems of the human race."
Last year, I worked briefly with Ken, an attorney, helping him to grow his practice. His target market was small businesses, and among the potential marketing strategies I suggested he could use to get more clients would be for him to host seminars.
"I tried seminars awhile ago," he told me, "And they just don't seem to work for me."
"Well…How many times did you try them?" I asked him.
"Just once," he responded, "And it was terrible."
"And you never tried again?" I asked.
"No…Why would I?" he responded.
Like Ken, most of us give up on a solid plan or strategy way too soon. Choose a path you believe will work and try it several times—hundreds of times if necessary. If you choose to do seminars, choose to do at least a few—learning as you go what works and what won't. If your target requires you to "cold call" other businesses as part of your marketing mix, plan on a certain number of calls every day for several weeks, again gauging what works and what won't. If what you're doing isn't working, try to figure out why, tweak it, and try again. Once you find something that works well, make it part of your regular activities—a system. If you can't make a certain activity work, move on to something else.
I love to help people get what they want by holding them accountable to stick to the strategies they're willing to try…that means, more than once. In more than one great effort, I encourage you to keep REACHING…
Approaching…the "S" Word!
"Branding" is just one end of the client-funnel. This week, terrifying as it may be, I'd like to talk about what's at the other end…the "s" word. You know…"sales".
Whether you're marketing your services, trying to get a new job, or looking for a business partner, at some point, you'll be "selling" yourself or your products, whether you like it or not.
But if that thought scares you, take heart: It's less daunting than you may realize. Selling isn't the drift towards doom you're imagining. It's not about manipulating someone into falling down the rabbit hole with you, by getting him/her to buy something that you offer.
Selling is the asking of appropriate yet provocative questions such that your prospective client determines for his-/her- self that he/she needs what you offer.
I teach the professionals I coach that anything you can tell a client or prospect you can get him/her to tell you, if you ask the right questions. Contrary to what many of the great sales "Gurus" of the Twentieth Century were preaching, "closing" a sale is, usually, the least relevant part of the process. Closing can only be accomplished at the end of a series of good questions, with something like:
"So, should we try this out?"
"What do you think the next step is?"
"When would you like to begin?"
From the start, ask questions about consequences—questions that elicit emotions and unearth explicit problems—and you'll convince them early on in your conversation, by no crooked means, that they should be working with you:
"How do you feel about that?"
"Is it important?"
"What's important about it to you?"
"If we can fix that, how would that affect you in the long run?"
"How would you feel then?"
Then, and only then, can you can demonstrate your value (via your genuine engagement), properly ask for the "closing", and make the "sale".
Don't suppress your interest, and don't fear your approach of the "s" word. You won't descend into darkness if you simply ask, listen, and just keep REACHING…
WANT To or CHOOSE To?—Revisited
"I want to have some time to think or to plan, or to just take a day off," Ron, a regional sales manager, recently told me.
"Can't your assistant help take some of the workload off your shoulders?" I asked.
"Right now," he responded, "I don't have an assistant. Terri, my former assistant, left four months ago, and I haven't had a chance to replace her," he continued.
"Have you scheduled the time to search for a replacement?" I queried.
"Well, no," came his reply.
I told Ron that he had just provided me with the perfect example of the distinction between wanting something to happen (a "WANT to") and choosing to do something about it (a "CHOOSE to").
"We WANT a lot of things," I explained. "I want to learn a language. I want to exercise every day. I want to give more of my time to more of my favorite charities…"
"But until those things are on my calendar," I continued, "It's clear that I'm not CHOOSING to put them into my life."
I explained to Ron that while he WANTED more time to think, plan, and play, he hadn't yet CHOSEN to calendar the search for a new assistant.
"The 'WANT to' is there," I told him, "But the 'CHOOSE to' isn't."
In the course of my life, I've talked with at least a hundred people who have been losing the same 20 pounds for nearly 20 years. I feel for them. There is no doubt they WANT to lose their extra weight, but for many, that want never seems to rise to the level of a powerful decision or choice to let nothing stand in their way. They join programs and then slowly work their way out of them. They monitor their food habits for weeks, but eventually stop. And they're frustrated because nothing seems to work. Like Ron, they walk around unhappy and tell the story of how they can't get what they want.
To be happy, they either need to choose to make what it is they want happen, or decide that it's okay not to have it. If English is my only skilled language, I guess I could live with that. If the unsuccessful dieters can stop beating themselves up and just accept that they enjoy their lives at the weights they're at, they will be happier! And if Ron could accept that he will never have time to think, nor plan, nor play, he might be happier, too…
Or…Ron can schedule time to recruit and train a new assistant, I can schedule language lessons, and those who want to shed tummy-pounds can find, start, and stick to a weight-loss program that's right for them, once and for all.
It isn't always easy, but it's always up to you how firmly you'll commit to attaining your goals. Sometimes, it's as simple as taking the time to find expert help with the stuff that feels impossible. Want something to change? Choose to change it at all costs. Put it on your calendar. Enroll in a program. Seek advice. No matter how challenging, persist until you achieve it. Keep REACHING…
QUALITY, Not Quantity: Leverage Existing Relationships
"I need to learn some new prospecting strategies," Erin, an advisor in the Midwest, was telling me. "I've done okay," she continued, "But what I've been doing doesn't seem to be getting me anywhere lately."
I asked Erin about her practice. "How many clients—households—however you measure it, do you have now?"
"About 300," she advised. "A few are what I would consider clients, but most are really just one-time 'customers'."
"Then you don't really need to learn new prospecting strategies at all," I suggested. "What you need is to turn some of those customers into real clients and some of the ones who are already clients into fiercely loyal advocates."
Most sales training programs for professionals are based on the theory that sales is a "numbers game" and nothing more. While the quantity of people you reach out to is important, the quality of your contacts is equally—or more—important.
If our work is really finding a lead, making a sale, and then going to look for another lead to make another sale, then going to look for another…and so on, it can be exhausting. We're starting at the beginning every time.
Leveraging existing relationships is a more efficient, more powerful way to grow any service business. Leveraging involves two actions: (1) Finding more ways to serve existing customers and clients, and (2) Being referred to new clients, through them.
"If I went through your notes or 'fact finders' on all of the people you've identified, would I think of things that you could offer them, that you haven't yet?" I asked Erin.
"Probably," came her honest response.
"Would that be true even of the ones you've identified as real clients?" I continued.
"Actually…it was them I was thinking of," she replied.
"What stands in the way of your approaching them to talk about some of those things you haven't talked about?"
"Nothing, I guess."
We then went through and discussed each client she identified as being in her "Top 20". Several of them hadn't heard from her in months—or, in a couple of cases, more than a year. Here's what we agreed upon:
1. Finding more ways to serve existing customers and clients. She'd start with the clients she'd most want to replicate and truly serve them. This means making sure that anything they might need that she is equipped to provide must be discussed. They can, of course, choose not to take her advice, but she wouldn't be serving them by avoiding or forgetting to cover those topics or products.
Truly serving them also would mean that she'd refer them to other professionals in her network to meet needs that she herself is not equipped to help with—even if she'd make no money from it. Unsolicited referrals will start to come in from existing clients the more you position yourself as the "expert" in all of their needs. And it won't be coincidental that as you refer your clients to other professionals, you will begin to receive referrals from those professionals, also.
2. Being referred to new clients through them. When Erin thinks she's done everything she can for them, she'll have to confirm that…with them. She'll need to let them articulate to her how great her service is and ask them if she can similarly help someone else in their lives.
Her first step in getting referrals is to EARN them. When that's done, she ought to tell clients she has the time to add to her roster someone they care about who might not be getting the same level of service elsewhere. The odds are good that in most cases, someone will come to mind.
"Figure out how many appointments you want to keep each week," I told Erin, "And when you don't have enough prospects through the methods you're already using, fill those meeting slots with service to your existing clients and requests for referrals."
Serve your existing clients by providing quality in every way you can. Then talk with them about helping their business associates, friends, and family members. Leverage your best, and keep REACHING…
Simple Pictures Are Best
When my daughters were little, I used to love to read them a particular book. The book is so seemingly outdated that it has only recently been revived from out-of-print status by the miracles of internet shopping (and used copies now sell for just a cent). It's called Simple Pictures Are Best.
It's the story of a farmer and his wife who decide to buy each other a photo session with a professional photographer for their anniversary. The fun begins when the photographer comes and the couple can't decide what to wear, where to sit, or what to include in the picture. The farmer ends up wearing his new shoes on his feet while showing off his old shoes on his ears with arms full of farm produce. His wife wears both of her hats, brings all of her pets, and stuffs her hands and pockets with kitchen and gardening utensils.
Each time the couple decides to add something to the picture, the photographer warns, "Simple pictures are best!" But the couple continues to ignore him and assembles everything they can into the picture. Finally, the commotion causes their bull to charge at the photographer, and the only picture taken that day…is of the bull.
Recently, I worked with Ryan, a client whose company provides computer graphics packages to financial services companies. Ryan was running two huge, expensive half-page ads weekly in a local paper with a broad-based readership.
"How much business do these ads generate?" I asked him.
"I don't know," was his reply.
It turned out that he had been running these ads for years, spending hundreds of thousands of dollars over time, but had never asked his new clients how they found out about his company, and had never asked existing clients whether they had even seen the ads.
"If you don't know whether there's any benefit to running these ads," I asked him, "Why do you keep running them?"
His real answer took several minutes to get to. He told me about how he had started these ad campaigns along with several other very broad marketing efforts years before. He also disclosed that he was still paying for a lot of other advertising and marketing efforts, without knowing whether any of them were working.
I thought of the farmer with the shoes on his ears and his feet and arms full of produce.
"Simple pictures are best," I said to Ryan.
Science often adheres to Occam's Razor, a theory which tells us that when there are several competing explanations for something, the simplest explanation is probably the right one. More or less, it says, "The simplest of all possible solutions is preferable."
Similarly, the "Simple Pictures" rule tells us that if you have a practice you're looking to grow, the simplest marketing picture is probably best:
1. Be very clear on your target.
2. Choose strategies that are designed to reach that very clear target.
3. Test to see whether and to what extent those strategies are working.
4. Keep using the ones that work until you have the kind of business or practice you want!
Another principle I like to fall back on is K.I.S.S.
Create a simple picture that works for you. If you want to climb high…get a ladder, and then, keep REACHING…
Recently, my friend and colleague, Lynn Schaber, told a story in her own weekly e-letter that I felt inspired to share with you here:
Over 20 years ago, Lynn heard a tale from speaker Danny Cox, a professional trainer—the "Sonic Boom" Salesman. He was known for his work as an Air Force spokesperson, addressing communities affected by jets that broke the sound barrier. Before that, he had been an Air Force pilot, testing those very first sonic-boom flights.
Danny spoke of the day he was pushing 700 mph to break the barrier, when his plane went into a Death Roll. (You don't have to try too hard to imagine what the usual result of a "Death Roll" is.) The plane was tumbling end over end. In terrifying circumstances, instinct tells you to do everything you can to fix the problem—specifically, in this case: "Get the plane back under control." Later, experts told Danny that what he did right away probably saved his life.
Danny did nothing. In the initial moments after the Death Roll started, he didn't make a single move. Then, after his mind spiraled through its options, he chose a course of action that stopped the spinning movement of the jet.
Don't take this the wrong way. Not one of us—Danny, Lynn, nor I—thinks that you should do nothing about a problem you're facing…for long. That would be deadly! Dangerous anxiety and stress, even when tempered with the familiar feeling of your "comfort zone", can wreak long-term havoc on your health, so the quick decision to make a change is often necessary.
What we are suggesting is that in a situation of dire panic, it's perfectly all right—even optimal—to take a few moments to be still. Take a long walk (if you can), breathe deeply, or as Lynn explained, "Step back and assess the landscape. Give your brain a chance to disengage from the panic and think logically." In other words, figure out exactly what's happening, where you are, and what your options are.
You can, as Lynn recommends, ask yourself a specific question like any of the following:
1) What can I do that will help the situation?
2) What do I want to avoid?
3) What would happen if I didn't do anything right now?
During the times in my own life when I've been really worried about something, or confused by my alternatives—such as moments when my dream-job earnings have been down, or when I was facing surgery for my second battle with cancer—this "do nothing" advice has served me well. Spinning (which I did plenty of) couldn't have gotten me to a solution; unfettered, it would have been part of the problem that led to my end.
When the pressure is on and there's an issue that needs to be resolved NOW, take a pause for just a few moments, and do nothing. Let the plane continue to work its way downward, until you're clear on the course of action to bring it back up. Then, do what logic tells you—or, better still, just do what feels right at that moment. As I discuss in The High Diving Board, there are no "wrong decisions" when choices are made from that intuitive place inside you—a place you can't possibly reach the second after you've been tossed into the fray.
Start by doing nothing. But next, when that moment of clarity comes—and trust that it will—keep REACHING…

I thought that Citibank might respond since I have been a customer for many years and still am. I have not received any response from them. I have cut back 90% on my business with them.
If you look at their material, "Thank You Rewards or any portion thereof may be revised or terminated with 30 days prior written notice."
I had a Citi Bank Air mile card . When I signed up they told me my miles would be there forever until I needed them. Citi Bank terminated over a
1,000 air miles of mine without any kind of compensation. Of course my wife and I had to have enough air miles for a round trip before we could use them.
After they canceled our air miles, Citi Bank started another card that you can use for air trips. Citi Bank converted our card over to the new card. They say the points you earn are there until you need them unless you read the fine print.
If Citi Bank gets to many points out there, they can just give 30 day notice and wipe out your bonus points at no cost to Citi Bank.
I wonder how much money they saved when they terminated everyone's outstanding air miles???!!!
Thanks very much for your support.

The air miles are not controlled by Citi. Citi has the American Airlines card, and the miles are controlled by American Airlines. It is American Airlines, not Citi, that took away your miles.

They basically bent me over to! I earned 73,293 points using my Sears Citi card this year which pays one point for every dollar spent toward their Sears Choice Rewards Program. Last month I spent over $13,000 using my Sears Citi Bank credit card, and I paid the balance off as usual to avoid paying interest, with the intention of requesting an iPad II next month which was approx. 90,000 pt. I wanted the iPad to use as a baby monitor because my wife and I are expecting our first child in September, a baby girl! Well, low & behold Sears & Citi bank closed my account two days ago for absolutely no reason other than to avoid paying me the miles/points I had accrued. Is this legal? Do I have any recourse? They have been very stand-offish and acted peculiar when I've asked them questions about why. I was transferred to many departments and once I was finally able to speak to a Manager named Vince (Mgr. Ref.# BRSR05) he told me that I would not be rewarded the points I had earned or the new points because I was "high risk.†This confuses me because the only high risk I offer is a high risk that I will pay my credit card on time as I have as long as I've had it and a high risk that, in turn, I will be rewarded with points as illustrated in their program. He said that is all of the information he had and gave me the phone number to the Adverse Action Department; (800) 663-4850. I simply want to alert local consumers here in Austin &/or nationwide to please be leery of this... Show more

San Francisco de Tilcara (usually referred to as Tilcara) is a city in the province of Jujuy, Argentina, and the head town of the Tilcara Department. It had 5,640 inhabitants at the 2001 census [INDEC]. Traces of human habitation in the area date back more than 10,000 years, making it one of the oldest continuously inhabited settlements of Argentina.
Tilcara is located 84 km from the provincial capital, San Salvador de Jujuy, beside National Route 9, at about 2,500 m above sea level, well within the first heights of the Andes.
The area features dramatic mountainous landscapes and rich aboriginal traditions, which make it a major tourist attraction in northwestern Argentina.
Possibly the biggest attraction in Tilcara is the nearby Pucará de Tilcara, the partially reconstructed ruins of a pre-Inca pukara, Quechua for "fortress",[1] located a few kilometers away from the city of Tilcara on a hill with an impressive view of the valley of the Río Grande.

We must do something
So Gov. Shumlin thinks there is nothing that can be done to protect children from gun violence, so we should not do anything?
Why do we have laws against drug dealing, stealing or any crime? It is useless to have police? Criminals are going to do what they do no matter what. What a cop-out. Politicians are so afraid of adverse reactions from gun owners they will not stand up for what is right. Gun owners are so paranoid about the government taking away their guns. Black helicopters, anyone?
I wonder if the governor lost a child to gun violence he might feel the same way?
I, for one, will not vote for Shumlin again, and I urge voters to use the ballot box to get rid of cowardly politicians.

Marines Order Military Spouse Clubs to Allow Gay Husbands and Wives

Gay Troops On Active Duty Say Coming Out Has Been A Pretty Mixed Bag
Like many victories, you take the bad with the good. For the GLBT military folks who attended the first-ever gay military personnel convention, OutServe, in Las Vegas yesterday the good has been the non-stop support and "shrugs" they received after they came out and the opportunities that are now opening up for them.
Court Says Don't Ask Don't Tell Has To Stop Now
A three-judge panel ruled that the U.S. has to stop enforcing Don't Ask Don't Tell immediately, rather than the drawn-out procedure that was a condition for Congress repealing it. Last week, the president said it would take "weeks, not months."
Tim Pawlenty Would Reinstate DADT
Speaking to Bryan Fischer (he of the "feminization of the Medal of Honor,") the Republican presidential hopeful said he would "support reinstating" Don't Ask, Don't Tell. Congratulations, Pawlenty, you're an even bigger asshole than John McCain!
Senate Votes to Repeal Don't Ask, Don't Tell
It's a Christmas miracle! The final count was 65 yay!, 31 nay. All that's required now is a signature from President Barack Obama, and this shit is OVER, except for the bloggin' and talkin' from angry homophobes.
House Passes DADT Repeal; Fate Is Back In Senate's Hands
As expected, the House passed the standalone Don't Ask, Don't Tell repeal bill. Now Harry Reid has to schedule a Senate vote. Reid's statement yesterday didn't make it clear if and when he will.

The dismal setback yesterday in Senate efforts to repeal Don't Ask Don't Tell — despite the support of the American public, the president, military leaders, the House — may not be the end of the story. Now what?
Breaking: Hope For DADT Legislative Repeal Dies
Well, this is goddamn depressing: Democrats in the Senate were unable to get the votes to get the Don't Ask Don't Tell repeal to even be debated, which means the last hope of legislative repeal is dead. What went wrong?
DADT Repeal Could Happen This Year
Joe Lieberman thinks that repealing Don't Ask, Don't Tell is worth debating through Christmas. That's because we Jews hate Christmas! But seriously, Lieberman is making sense, and so is Scott Brown. Really. But Secretary Robert Gates is getting pessimistic.
Asking And Telling Why John McCain Is Such An Asshole
The Don't Ask Don't Tell hearings in the Senate have resumed. There's no question that the policy needs to be repealed. What is outstanding: Why is John McCain such an asshole? Theories from The Daily Show and others.

A grassroots groundswell to bring more international students to Manawatu is surging ahead, hot on the heels of a Government shake-up of overseas student growth strategies.
City leaders and educational institutes have joined forces to entice international students to Palmerston North.
This aligns closely with the Government this week launching a package of programmes aimed at growing New Zealand's $2.6 billion international education sector.
A group of Palmerston North's economic development drivers, including the city council, Destination Manawatu, Vision Manawatu, and businesses, already have several strategies in the pipeline.
Destination Manawatu chief executive Lance Bickford said more needed to be done to attract and retain international students.
City council head of strategy and policy Neil Miller said a draft strategy was expected to result in an action plan, including a series of projects, within a year. It could include shared marketing systems, pooling income, investments and exports, and a more streamlined thought process into what techniques best targeted overseas students.
A plan is being sent out within four weeks for institutes to finalise roles, as well as long-term plans.
"There's no point waiting around," Mr Miller said.
"We know there are opportunities for us to attract more foreign students and we know we can do that together by pooling resources," he said.
"At the moment there's a consensus, but the trick is to turn that into a concrete plan of action."
The more shared support put in place, the greater the outcome would be, he said.
"The target is to obviously attract more students into our secondary and tertiary institutes because they provide a good deal of return and investment in the local economy."
On average, foreign fee-paying students spend $6500 on tuition and $17,600 on living costs, with many students staying on to fill job shortages in the city.
The draft strategy was pragmatic and involved a great deal of trial and error to find out what worked best in today's fluid, fiscal international student market, Mr Miller said.
Several Palmerston North tertiary-level providers, as well as a handful of high schools, have registered interest in it.
Among them are Massey University, UCOL, International Pacific College, and Palmerston North Boys', Girls', Freyberg, and Awatapu high schools.
UCOL executive dean of international relations Julia Pedley said growing export income through education, as well as increasing the number of international students, was a priority.
"We are supportive of any initiative to attract international students to our region and will continue to work with the city council, as well as other education providers in the area," she said.
Also, as part of this year's Budget, the Government is investing $40 million over the next four years in marketing and promoting New Zealand's international education industry.

Olympics Countdown Begins With a Flurry of Preparations
The Olympics have revived China's second largest city. Today Beijing glitters with high-profile, modernist buildings, the world's largest airport terminal, and a new National Theater — one of the few cultural monuments built in China in the last 30 years. Now less than 30 days before 8-8-08, spectacular antiterrorism drills are underway and finishing touches are being made. Take a peek behind the curtains and see what China's up to — the Segways are just the beginning.

Banbury Utd 0
Cirencester Tn 5
(Bennett 10, 16, Jarvis 29, 48, Reed 90+2)
Banbury United hit an all-time low as they were thrashed by Cirencester Town in the Southern League Premier Division at Spencer Stadium to make it six straight defeats since the start of the season.
Rooted to the foot of the table as the only side without a point this term following Saturday's 3-2 defeat by Bideford, Edwin Stein's side found no sympathy from a rampant Cirencester. The visitors went in front after ten minutes through Aiden Bennett, who doubled the lead six minutes later.
Banbury were 3-0 down on the half-hour, with Nat Jarvis the marksman.
Jarvis got his second three minutes after the interval, and Banbury's misery was complete when Jamie Reed added No 5 in stoppage time.
