You have a monthly sales goal, it's the first day of the month, and all of your past successes are cleaned off the board
As managers, the ability to use win-win negotiations skills can make all the difference in negotiating success.
One of the most overlooked and simple ways to engage employees is by expressing honest, sincere appreciation for their efforts
Every time something significant changes in an organization, challenges result.
When we interact with someone whose leadership style is similar to our own, communication is relatively easy.
During periods of change, we sometimes think too far ahead.
This True/False test will help clarify some common myths and misperceptions about cold calling.
Leaders respect and value the differences in others.
Anytime a person speaks or acts, there is an opportunity to give feedback.
January is that time of the year when we compare past achievements and disappointments, in order to make resolutions for the New Year. Dale Carnegie once said, "If you succeeded, ask yourself why and repeat the action. If you failed, ask yourself why and learn from that experience."

Break the Beast's Chains...
Asteros, a single figure expansion for Tannhäuser, is now on sale!
Asteros heard the rage of gunfire erupting from the corridors. Every empty shell that clattered to the stone floor seemed to echo more loudly that the firefight that filled the ancient halls. He flexed his enormous arms, struggling against the shackles that bound him. It had been millennia since he found the strength to fight against their otherworldly craftsmanship, but never had he felt such unnatural power enter his domain. He had to break free. He had to fight...
Asteros, a single figure expansion for Tannhäuser, is now on sale! Hidden deep within the Labyrinth for centuries, the minotaur Asteros yearns to wreck havoc on the world above. He is an unnatural beast that cannot be reasoned with. Do you dare unchain him? Head on over to your local retailer or our webstore and add this ferocious being to your stable of troops.
Asteros comes packaged with a detailed pre-painted figure of the legendary minotaur, equipped with rules, tokens, and a unique scenario. With no prior allegiances, Asteros can be used with any faction. Since Asteros is an Epic Hero, he is fielded with a smaller force than normal, replacing a hero and a trooper on account of his legendary power and sheer size.
With today's release of the first Tannhäuser map pack Daedalus, players can encounter Asteros in the very place he was banished. Daedalus features a map of the Labyrinth of Minos which once served as Asteros' prison. Using Daedalus in combination with the Asteros expansion, players can compete for control over the minotaur in the Labyrinth, or unleash him on the French outpost of Gévaudan.
Armed with magical relics and a savage thirst for violence, Asteros might be the answer your faction has been looking for. Do you think you can control him? Head to your local retailer or our webstore to find out!

Take a close look at the photo on the cover of this issue. The wahine toa challenging the Minister of the Crown as he bends down to pick up the taki. That scenario hasn't been seen for hundreds of years, if ever.

Having applauded the innovative way Ngāti Waewae brought tradition to life through the wāhine mau rākau at the opening of Tūhuru Arahura Marae, I was taken aback to hear criticism of wāhine in these roles. I asked myself, "Is this really the 21st century?" as our history clearly shows wāhine took on these roles far earlier than this.

Any starting point for a discussion on water has to be the health and well-being of waterways, says Kaiwhakahaere Tā Mark Solomon. And any discussion on water should also include people and their relationship with water.
His comments come after a series of hui held by the Iwi Leaders Group to advise iwi on discussions with the Crown to address iwi rights and interests in fresh water.
Christine home schools all her tamariki. They begin each day with a yoga session, te reo Māori is used as much as English, they take a daily walk along the beach, and in summer the kids more often than not end up in the water. Each of the tamariki have their own work space and direct their own learning, combining computers, iPads, books, and the world outside their door to do their studies.
As Te Amo Tamainu challenged the Crown at Arahura Marae, she felt her ancestors with her and her family, in the shape of her father Jerry, behind her.

Job Interviewing Advice Would you hire you? Job Interviewers Can Sense Desperation! How is your job interview confidence and attitude? In most published information about interviewing, you will notice that most of the information focuses on "interview preparation." While "preparation" is very important, the type of preparation should be considered. Much of the advice out there focuses on the "mechanics" of the job interview and not the content. This advice ranges from clothing styles and colors, handshake methods, how to sit and answer specific questions. While all of this is great advice about job interviewing, the advice lacks the most important "view" part of interviewing. The "view" that you personally must consider and is often over-looked is your internal "view." The internal view comes from within you, not the company, not your degree or experience. If you have been unemployed, laid off or job searching for some time, your attitude and self-confidence and most of all, your self-esteem, can start to diminish - it is only natural. Would you hire you? Selling yourself can be the most difficult skill that you must master in the job interview process. If you can not confidently sell yourself in the job interview, how can you expect the interviewer to "buy" you? The skilled job interviewer can sense desperation, poor attitude or a candidate that is "just going through the motions." Ask any sales person: if they do not believe "in their gut" that the product or service they are selling is a good one - then they will have great difficulty selling it. You, as a job candidate, do not believe that you have the skills, knowledge and abilities for the position for which you are being interviewed, it will be very difficult to persuade the interviewer (who does not know you at all) to consider you for the job.When answering tough job interview questions, think-what does the interviewer want to hear? The interviewer wants to hear that you have good communications skills and that you would be a great employee and solve their problems if they hired you. The interviewer does not want to hear that they would be hiring a "fixer upper"! How to convince yourself that you are the best person for the job A great way to start is by making a "Me List." This is a laundry list of your strengths as well as your weaknesses from your last job experience. Once you start creating a list of all of the your skills, knowledge, and experience that you have to offer as well as those you need to improve on, you have a solid foundation to start a winning interview strategy. What do you want and like to do? Doing a simple discovery exercise like this makes you take a look inside yourself and begin to think about what you really want more of from your next career or job and what you want less of. Most individuals will be happier, and have higher performance levels, if they are satisfied with the work that they do. As a result, they will be more motivated to give 100%. Now create a list of tasks and responsibilities that satisfied you at your last job. These would be the responsibilities with which you were particularly satisfied, or by which you were energized. In other words, the tasks that "floated your boat." Think about the last time you were so involved in a project or task that you woke up thinking about how you could improve the situation. Write those experiences down and try to determine what the factors were that were satisfying for you. Let's say you were a "Project Leader." The task list would read something like: "Led a team; coordinated and monitored project progress; assured the flow and completion of work on schedule; monitored expenditures and budget." After you have compiled a task list for your current job, do the same considering previous jobs. If you are a recent graduate, use the classes that were most satisfying and interesting for you, or the class projects, job internships or volunteer positions you worked on with teams while in school. Creating this "Me List" of experiences from your most recent job or college experience, will lead you to begin to see patterns of responsibilities and tasks that were satisfying. Do you want more of this type of responsibility in your next job? The answer to this question will give you a strong indication of what you want and some possibilities for fulfillment in future jobs that have similar responsibilities. After you have developed your personal "desire inventory" you will feel more confident about finding the path to the job that is right for you. Having this newly created skill inventory along with a freshly enlightened "inner view" about yourself will give you skills, confidence and knowledge to be able to "sell" yourself more effectively. It will also give you insight as to how to set yourself apart from the other candidates competing for the job you desire.

Just two years later, they moved into a sprawling new sports-partnered studio, creating a new source of relief for athletes whose massages previously consisted of lying in the middle of the turf during a game. Today, Symmetry's founding pair leads 30 other licensed therapists, each with her own unique background and specialty. These practitioners treat clients with more than a dozen massage modalities, including neuromuscular massage, which relies on static pressure to relieve area-specific pain, and Thai Yoga. Services such as soothing steam therapy and invigorating dry body-brushing augment the offerings. During the studio's semi-private workshops, including couples' workshops, the therapists teach clients how to perform their massage techniques at home. This allows clients to connect with their partners during couples massages whenever they have some private time at home or a long wait in a grocery-store line together.7120 E Orchard Rd Ste 300Centennial, CO US

As I wrote in one of my "25 Years In La" pieces, I was a tour guide at Universal Studios. Technically, we were "studio guides," and in my time at the park, I did many different jobs. I was Leatherface for a full run of Halloween Horror Nights, and I managed to win a nod for "Best Scare" at the end of the event. That doesn't really mean anything, but it felt great at the end of a really tough eleven or twelve straight days. I worked "Backdraft" when it was an attraction that took up a full soundstage, and I made up my own slightly insane tweaks to the script that entertained me, if no one else. My friend and I figured out where we could stand in the "E.T." ride so we could say names to it at the beginning of the ride, since the end of the ride »

Scheduling conflicts blamed for key duo's departure from latest big-budget Hollywood monster epic Kong: Skull Island, which will revisit home of giant ape
A belated sequel to Peter Jackson's fantasy remake King Kong has seen the sudden departure of two of its key players, with Michael Keaton and Jk Simmons both leaving due to scheduling conflicts.
A property that might otherwise have gone relatively unnoticed, Kong: Skull Island was given a major boost by the arrival of Keaton in January, just as Oscar buzz was mounting for his critically acclaimed turn in Birdman, as a former superhero-movie actor trying to reignite his career via Broadway. The star of Beetlejuice and Tim Burton's Batman films was later beaten to the best-actor prize by The Theory of Everything's Eddie Redmayne, but he is nevertheless experiencing a Hollywood renaissance, having also been cast in the forthcoming McDonalds biopic The Founder. »

It looks like Legendary and director Jordan Vogt-Roberts are going to have to begin searching for a couple of terrific actors for lead roles in Kong: Skull Island fairly pronto, as they've lost both Michael Keaton and J.K. Simmons. According to Deadline, the "principal reason" behind their departure is scheduling conflicts, as the project recently pushed back its production start by a few weeks from the fall to before the end of the year. Thor's Tom Hiddleston remains on in the lead role. Though the movie has been referred to as an origin story for the great ape, it's also been called a reboot and is not expected to tie into Peter Jackson's 2005 King Kong remake. The plot will focus on "a team of explorers venturing deep inside the treacherous, primordial island." Legendary's Thomas Tull and Jon Jashni will produce with Alex Garcia, and Eric McLeod is on board as exec producer. »

Academy invitee Eddie Redmayne in 'The Theory of Everything.' Academy invites 322 new members: 'More diverse and inclusive list of filmmakers and artists than ever before' The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences has offered membership to 322 individuals "who have distinguished themselves by their contributions to theatrical motion pictures." According to the Academy's press release, "those who accept the invitations will be the only additions to the Academy's membership in 2015." In case all 322 potential new members say an enthusiastic Yes, that means an injection of new blood representing about 5 percent of the Academy's current membership. In the words of Academy President Cheryl Boone Isaacs (as quoted in the press release), in 2015 "our branches have recognized a more diverse and inclusive list of filmmakers and artists than ever before, and we look forward to adding their creativity, ideas and experience to our organization."

We saw a new trailer and a couple of posters last week [see here and here], and now we have the first action-packed TV spot for the upcoming video game adaptation Hitman: Agent 47, which you can watch right here…
Hitman: Agent 47 centers on an elite assassin who was genetically engineered from conception to be the perfect killing machine, and is known only by the last two digits on the barcode tattooed on the back of his neck. He is the culmination of decades of research – and forty-six earlier Agent clones — endowing him with unprecedented strength, speed, stamina and intelligence. His latest target is a mega-corporation that plans to unlock the secret of Agent 47's past to create an army of killers whose powers surpass even his own. Teaming up with a young woman who may hold the secret to overcoming their powerful and clandestine enemies, 47 confronts stunning revelations about his own origins »

King Kong, the legendary ape who has both fallen for and terrorized Fay Wray, Jessica Lange, and Naomi Watts (to name a few), has long been a staple of Universal Studios theme parks. There's the King Kong Encounter, a section of Universal Hollywood's tram tour starting in 1986, the updated version of this experience that debuted at Universal Studios Orlando when the park opened in 1990, plus the recent King Kong 360 3D (once again at Universal Studios Hollywood), that replaced the old Kong section of the tour. Kong has certainly been King, at least at Universal Studios.
So it's not that big of a surprise that Universal announced an immersive new Kong experience, slated to open in the summer of 2016, called "Skull Island: Reign of Kong." This huge experience, which will supposedly be one of the longest and most intense attractions in the entire Universal Orlando complex, allows guests to, for the first time, »

The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences announced this week that the Los Angeles City Council, in a unanimous vote, approved plans for the Academy Museum of Motion Pictures. Construction will begin this summer, and ceremonial groundbreaking festivities will occur this fall.
"I am thrilled that Los Angeles is gaining another architectural and cultural icon," said Mayor Eric Garcetti. "My office of economic development has worked directly with the museum's development team to ensure that the Academy Museum of Motion Pictures will create jobs, support tourism, and pay homage to the industry that helped define our identity as the creative capital of the world."

Strangely dropping a press release on a historic day where the nation's attention is elsewhere, the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences revealed their annual list of new member invitees this morning. For those who criticize the makeup of the Academy there was some good news and the stark realization the organization still has a long way to go. The Academy has spent the last eight to 10 years attempting to diversify its membership and this year's class mostly reflects that. There are significantly more invitees of Asian and African-American descent, but the male to female disparity is still depressing. Out of the 25 potential new members of the Actor's Branch only seven are women. And, no, there isn't really an acceptable way for the Academy to spin that sad fact. Additionally, It's important to realize the 322 people noted in the release have only been invited to join Hollywood's most exclusive club. »

The Academy of Motion Picture Arts & Sciences continues to push for diversity, sending membership invitations to 322 individuals, including a healthy number of people who can help change the org's demos.
Among the invitees are David Oyelowo, Gugu Mbatha-Raw, Felicity Jones, Emma Stone, Rosamund Pike, Bong Joon-ho, Justin Lin and Francois Ozon. The Academy has been reaching out to women, foreign-born artists and people of various races, ethnic backgrounds and ages.
Accusations of Academy bigotry surfaced yet again in January when the list of Oscar nominees included Caucasians in all 20 acting categories, and few women or racial minorities among the other categories. Director Ava DuVernay and actor David Oyelowo of "Selma" had seemed like strong contenders, giving many people hopes of breakthroughs. After initial anger at the Acad, activists began to shift their protests to industry hiring practices. For example, 323 films were eligible for 2014 awards — which means AMPAS should theoretically »

With the death of horror film legend Christopher Lee, the last of the legendary honor guard of horror has passed on. He was part of an elite group that created the horror genre. Lee's passing is a reminder that it's been a long time since we had a new horror film superstar. Is the day of the horror film specialist gone forever? Where are the big-screen boogie-men for the 21st century?
Once upon a time there were a group of actors, known as the 'screen boogiemen' who created the horror film/monster movie genre (starting in Universal Studios and later in Hammer Studios.) They were specialists who understood the psychology and performance style of horror cinema and became legends in the industry. The first was silent film star Lon Chaney Sr. (Phantom of the Opera, London After Midnight, the Hunchback of Notre Dame, the Unholy Three, the Monster, »

"No one's impressed by a dinosaur anymore," notes one character early on in "Jurassic World," and it's easy to imagine the same words having passed through the lips of more than one Universal Studios executive in the years since Michael Crichton and Steven Spielberg's 1993 "Jurassic Park" shattered box-office records, along with the glass ceiling for computer-generated visual effects. Two decades and two lackluster sequels later, producer and studio have spared few expenses in crafting a bigger, faster, noisier dinosaur opus, designed to reclaim their place at the top of the blockbuster food chain. What they've engineered is an undeniably vigorous assault of jaw-chomping jolts and Spielbergian family bonding that nevertheless captures only a fraction of the original film's overflowing awe and wonderment. Which should still be more than enough to cause a T-Rex-sized ripple effect at the summer multiplex turnstile.

Dinosaurs are definitely some of the coolest things to ever walk the earth, so it's no surprise that cinema is so obsessed with them. Killer lizards have graced the silver screen for decades, squaring off against King Kong, humans, and of course, other dinosaurs.
With Jurassic World hitting the big screen this week, we thought we would let you test your knowledge on how well you know your dinosaur movies. Every major dinosaur has had its moment on film, including the stegosaurus, the brontosaurus, the triceratops, and of course, the revered Tyrannosaurus Rex. Jurassic World will see the introduction of a new, fictional dino: the Indominus Rex, built to be bigger and better than the T. Rex. Of course, a genetically modified dinosaur can only mean trouble, as Chris Pratt, Bryce Dallas Howard and the rest of the cast find out.

Make-Up Artist Rick Baker Announces Retirement in the Face of CGI

In his book 'The Great Movies: Volume 2', Roger Ebert wrote that "King Kong is the father of Jurassic Park, the Alien movies, and countless other stories where the heroes are terrified by skillful special effects". In volume 1, he wrote that "Star Wars was a technological watershed that influenced many of the movies that came after." In this article, Cinelinx looks at an 82 year old monster movie and a 38 year old space opera, in order to determine which is the seminal film in the evolution of movies in regard to setting the path for the modern era.
Let's start with King Kong. It's been 10 years since the last film version of King Kong, which was directed by Peter Jackson. (Lord of the Rings, the Hobbit) There was a remake by Dino De Laurentis in 1976, and even a few Japanese Dai Kaiju Eiga versions of the giant ape in the 1960s, »

First the garage, now the whole workshop. Rick Baker, the legendary Hollywood make-up and special effects wizard, has officially announced his retirement. Fresh from a sale of some of his career memorabilia, Baker shared the news with Californian public radio station Kpcc that he was putting away the prosthetics for good."I said the time is right, I am 64 years old, and the business is crazy right now," he explained. "I like to do things right, and they wanted cheap and fast. That is not what I want to do, so I just decided it is basically time to get out."Baker, of course, is the make-up artist behind some of the most memorable, marvellous and maquetted cinematic creations of the past four decades. He emerged as the heir apparent to Jack Pierce in the mid-'70s, collaborating with fellow SFX guru Carlo Rambaldi on King Kong in 1976 and going »

Who doesn't love a good action movie? They're among the most fun that Hollywood has to offer, particularly when they're of a high quality. Later on this week, a reportedly amazing new one in Mad Max: Fury Road is hitting theaters, so to prep us all for that experience (I see it later on today, so yay for that), I wanted to do a countdown of the recent best that the genre has to offer. Essentially, every action flick since 2000 was eligible, and I whittled that down to a top ten list. It's hardly the definitely "new millennium action movie" list, but I think it's a pretty solid one, to say the least. You'll be able to see the list below, which could very well be amended once Mad Max: Fury Road comes to town… Here now are my picks for the ten best »

Manassas boys fall to South Side in AA state quarterfinals
Jackson South Side knocks Tigers out with strong first half
MURFREESBORO, Tenn. — Shortly after halftime at the AA state quarterfinals at the Murphy Center, Rayford Albright split two defenders, drove the lane and dished a sweet no-look pass to Marcus Nesby, who looked certain to score.
From out of nowhere swooped Jackson South Side's Malik Hicks, who rudely sent Nesby's shot back where it came from.
That's the kind of day it was for the Manassas basketball team Thursday.
South Side was seemingly a step ahead of the Tigers all game long and advanced to the semifinals with a decisive 78-51 victory.
"Every practice, every game win, lose our draw, we end by saying 'state bound,'" said Tigers coach Gerald Harris. "It's been a process to get back here for the third time in six years.
"My associate head coach, Jerry Anthony, is the best assistant in America and he had the team ready to play. It just wasn't our day. They were the better team on this day."
The Hawks (30-2) took the suspense out of the game early, shooting 61 percent in the first half to build a 45-28 lead at the break. South Side had the size advantage over the Tigers and was every bit as quick.
And with Manassas struggling all game from the field — the Tigers finished 21 of 71 for 29.6 percent — it added up to a long day at the office.
"I thought we had a great team this year," said Tigers senior Rayford Albright, who scored 10 points in his final high school game before fouling out midway through the fourth.
"Not a lot of people expected us to make it (to state). We tried to do this for our city and our family ... we just didn't get the job done today."
Tony Atkins led the Tigers (25-9) with 13 points and DeShun Bell added 11. Both seniors spent significant minutes on the bench in the first half with foul trouble, another factor that hurt Manassas.
"These seniors have been with me since the ninth grade and they're the ones that brought us back to Murfreesboro," said Harris. "It was a blessing to be here."
Hicks, a junior who is being recruited by schools such as UMass and Oklahoma State, led the Hawks with 23 points.

What Happens If the Democrats Win
With the Senate still up in the air and Democrats in control of the House, what might a Democrat-controlled Congress actually mean for U.S. foreign policy? FP recently asked Washington insiders, ex-politicians, and pundits to look beyond November 7.
- By admin
Mark Halperin
Political director of ABC News and coauthor of The Way to Win: Taking the White House in 2008.
Forget partisan warfare matching that of 19932006. President Bush and Speaker Pelosi (and/or Majority Leader Reid) would recognize the need to work together or face two years of stalemate. Watch for an immigration deal, a bipartisan peace with honor Rose Garden announcement on Iraq, and a joint 41/42 (Bush/Clinton) presidential diplomatic mission to the Middle East.
Tom Daschle
Former Senate majority leader
Because of Americas ideology-driven foreign policy, our entreaties go unheard and redlines ignored. Adversaries like North Korea and Iran see us overstretched in Iraq, alienated from allies, and losing focus in Afghanistan. A new congress will ensure a return to resultsand away from ideologyin U.S. foreign policy. Democrats will change course in Iraq, strengthen our tools in the war on terrorism, and reinvigorate our military and moral power.
Peter Brookes
Senior fellow at the Heritage Foundation and author of A Devils Triangle: Terrorism, Weapons of Mass Destruction, and Rogue States.
If the Democrats take the majority, the concern is that their basic foreign policy thrust will be ABBAnything But Bush. This approach may feel good after years in the minority, but its no basis for a foreign policy. Our country faces serious international challenges, many of which were in train long before 2001. With Iraq, Iran, and North Korea on the boil, the last thing we need is a bitterly partisan foreign policypotentially leading to paralysis.
Marc Ambinder
Associate editor at the National Journal s Hotline
If Democrats regain control of the House, freshmen Democrats who are military veteransmaybe retired Adm. Joe Sestak in Pennsylvania and Tammy Duckworth in Illinoiswill become policy generators for their party. Dont expect McGovernites. Expect, instead, calls for a larger army, more special forces, more accountability in contracting, and a reordering of the relationship between the National Guard and the military. In the Senate, there may be a majority that views free trade agreements with decided skepticism. On North Korea, Democrats wont abandon the six party talks, but its easy to see them pressuring the Bush administration about Chinas role (with the crosswinds of trade and currency disputes) and even about Russia. Until the Democrats have a presidential nominee, they will speak with many voices. But they wont lack for ideas.
Stephen M. Walt
Professor of international relations at Harvard Universitys John F. Kennedy School of Government
Congress has little direct influence over foreign policy, and any Democratic margin will be small. Would a Democratic congress cut off funding for the Iraq war? No. Oppose NATO expansion, green-light a new trade deal, or rethink U.S. commitments in the Middle East? Of course not. Will replacing Richard Lugar with Joe Biden and Henry Hyde with Tom Lantos as chairs of key congressional committees leave us in better hands? Hardly. And lets not forget that the Patriot Act was renewed 89-10 in the Senate, and Bushs torture legislation passed 253-168 in the House. So dont expect a new foreign policy until 2009 (and probably not even then). At best, a Democratic congress will exercise its oversight role and fully investigate Bushs blunders, so that we can learn from his mistakes. That will be a full-time job in itself.
Norman Ornstein
Resident scholar at the American Enterprise Institute
Foreign policy will not undergo a seismic shift if the Democrats take one or both houses of congress. Two things will change: There will be lots of investigations, on Iraq, torture, intelligence failures, and so on; and there will be more congressional pushback on the unprecedented expansion of executive powerbut in both of these areas, expect the president and vice president to push back even harder, leading to constitutional confrontations, tension, acrimony, and lots of vetoes.
Dan Gilgoff
Senior editor at U.S. News and World Report
Bad news from Iraq has created the opening for a Democratic House takeover, but the Democratic candidates who could make that happen are running in traditionally Republican districts in red states such as Ohio, Indiana, and Kentucky. Theyre mostly ambivalent about the Iraq war. They criticize Bushs performance but oppose their own partys call for a timetable for withdrawal. Far from foreign-policy revolutionaries, theyd need to burnish their national security credentials if elected, which could mean taking Bush-like stands on Iran and North Korea, and perhaps a moderate line on Iraq. After all, theyd be facing reelection in their conservative districts in the not-too-distant future.

If Democrats take control of the House, the Senate, or both, expect oversight and investigative hearingsand not very friendly ones from President Bushs standpointto pop up on issues ranging from Darfur to North Korea. Democrats will also push, with the help of some Republicans, to begin to remove our troops from Iraq, and it may happen. Partisan change would also signal public discontent with our policies there. Also, say goodbye to Don Rumsfeld.
Lawrence Korb
Senior fellow at the Center for American Progress
The most significant impact of the Democrats taking control of congress would be on the war in Iraq and arms control. The Democrats would require the administration to put forward a strategy for Iraq that has reasonable benchmarks, estimated costs and timeframes, as well as an action plan for completing the mission. The Senate would also take up the Comprehensive Test Ban Treaty, as well as prohibit the weaponization of space and the development of new nuclear weapons.
Danielle Pletka
Vice president for foreign and defense policy studies at the American Enterprise Institute
Democratic control of one or both congressional chambers would mean little change in the reality of foreign policy. The party is unlikely to have sufficient control to drive through controversial ideas. Members would be further constrained by a Republican Executive that already holds much of the necessary authority to conduct foreign policy. But reality is not everything. If the Osama bin Ladens, Mahmoud Ahmadinejads, and Kim Jong Ils of this world already believe Washington is weak and divided, they will only be encouraged by a Chairman Murtha, who believes America is more dangerous to world peace than Iran or North Korea, an empowered Senator Kerry, who longs for an end to the focus on terror, and a Speaker Pelosi, who believes an immediate withdrawal from Iraq is the wisest course.
Thomas Mann
Senior follow at the Brookings Institution
A Democratic majority in both House and Senate, which now seems likely, would lead to much greater engagement by congress on a range of foreign-policy issues. Initially, this will take the form of hearings on Bush administration policies in Iraq, Iran, North Korea, and the Middle East, and on the state of U.S. military forces, featuring current and former Republican political appointees and military officers and conducted with the cooperation of concerned Republican members. I dont expect abrupt changes in policy or personnel forced by a Democratic congress but rather an open, deliberative process that may well persuade the president to change course.
Joshua Muravchik
Senior fellow at the American Enterprise Institute
One of the noblest traditions in American politics is that partisanship stops at the waters edge. Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid and House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi have done everything in their power to reverse that. What raises their dander is not jihadists but Republicans. Every new challenge or tragedy that our country faces is for them nothing but the occasion for yet another sound bite against George W. Bush. Rarely do they say what they would do different, settling for denouncing Bushs failed policies. If these two become majority leaders, expect a lot of jockeying for position between the parties with an eye to 2008.
Clifford May
President of the Foundation for the Defense of Democracies
During the Cold War, Democrats were regarded as weak on national security. From Lyndon Johnsons departure from the White House in 1969 to Bill Clintons post-Cold War return there in 1992, a Democrat served as president for only four yearsand that, thanks to a Republican scandal. Out of power, many Democrats have emphasized politics over policy. Should the Democrats take back congress, they will have a two-year window to put forward their serious and credible voices. Or they can play to the base and the blogs; that would be deleterious for both the party and the country. Im optimisticbut cautiously so.

Ulster earn Aironi bonus
Italians overwhelmed in second-half
Last Updated: 08/10/10 9:58pm
Quick service: Pienaar gets Ulster's back division in motion
Ulster opened their Heineken Cup campaign with a 30-6 bonus-point victory over Aironi at Revenhill.
But the win, which stretches their unbeaten run to six games in all competitions, did not come easy for Brian McLaughlin's side.
They showed an alarming lack of composure and only led 11-6 at the end of a disappointing first-half, despite Aironi playing out the last 10 minutes with 14 men.
The second-half saw Ulster stretch away and Andrew Trimble's first-half try was supplemented by scores from Ian Humphreys, Simon Danielli and Ruan Pienaar to give Ulster maximum points ahead of next week's trip to Biarritz.
Looking to get tries on the board, Ulster immediately attacked after receiving the kick-off and with Jamie Smith and Ruan Pienaar prominent in the sweeping attack, Ulster took play up into Aironi's 22 where Pienaar landed a first-minute penalty.
Four minutes later, though, Ludovic Mercier tied the scores after some crossing from Ulster and was then wide with a long-range effort after Ulster collapsed a maul.
But Pienaar was then also off target with a 30-metre effort which came off the upright before Mercier slotted his second to give the Italians a three-point lead.
This fired Ulster into life and, just after Trimble was penalised for receiving a forward pass on a diagonal run, Ulster produced a huge shove at the scrum and shunted the visitors off the ball.
Robbie Diack picked up and fed Pienaar, whose superb flick pass found Trimble and he steamed over in the corner.
Despite narrowing the angle for Pienaar, the Springbok was wide with the extras.
Ulster kept pressing and Johann Muller came close which resulted in Marco Bortolami being binned for killing the ball.
However, the home side failed to take advantage and spilled a number of scoring chances before Pienaar slotted his second penalty just as Bortolami returned to give Ulster an 11-6 advantage at the interval.
They needed a quick score in the second half and got one thanks to some sloppy work from Nick Williams, who failed to deal with a Humphreys kick to the left corner which allowed the Ulster outside-half to run up and touch the ball down as Williams looked on helplessly.
The angle was too tight for Pienaar's conversion but Ulster now had a 10-point lead.
On the hour mark, Ulster got their third score after Chris Henry snaffled the ball back after Aironi had stolen a lineout and launched an attack up the right with Muller and Best.
The ball was quickly recycled and spun left where Danielli juggled it before diving over.
Humphreys slotted an excellent touchline conversion and then seven minutes later, the bonus point arrived after great work from Diack allowed Pienaar dart over to the right of the posts and Humphreys' conversion completed the scoring.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
|6th Dynasty
|Pepi I
|Princess Seshseshet Waatetkhethor
|Tomb LS10 in the Teti Cemetery in Saqqara
Meryteti ("loved by Teti") served as vizier of Pepi I during the sixth dynasty of Egypt. He was the son of the vizier Mereruka. His mother was the royal daughter Seshseshet Waatetkhethor, daughter of Teti.[1] He was thus a nephew of the king Pepi I Meryre.
Meryteti was buried in the mastaba of his father Mereruka. This tomb was divided into three sections. The largest part of the mastaba was made for Mereruka, another section belonged to Mereruka's mother, while the third part belonged to Meryteti.[2] The burial shaft of Meryteti is located in the north-west corner of Mereruka's tomb.[3]

If, instead of music, you hear a tinny, flappy "thowmp, thwomp" sound every time you turn your music on, chances are your car's crappy, stock, paper-cone speakers have finally given out. This should come as no surprise, as most stock stereo systems -- especially those found in older cars -- are pretty bad by today's high-def standards. Upgrading to a set of speakers like Pioneer's TS-D1602Rs will bring the clarity back to your music. And thanks to its high-tech modern construction -- which includes materials like Aramid/Basalt Fiber -- these speakers should last a long time too. Also note that many new cars now come with separate tweeters in the front doors. If this sounds like your car, make sure you get a composite speaker upgrade (like the Pioneer TS-D1320C) that includes new tweeters too.
