 Unions might be better off with Kerry loss, leader says - The Boston Globe
Breaking sharply with the enforced harmony of the Democratic National Convention, the president of the largest AFL-CIO union said yesterday that both organized labor and the Democratic Party might be better off in the long run if Senator John F. Kerry loses the presidential election.
Stern's dissatisfaction with the AFL-CIO and the Democratic Party is not new, but his decision to voice his frustration on the opening day of a carefully scripted convention was an unwelcome surprise to Kerry's convention managers, who had been proclaiming their delight at the absence of any internal conflicts.
Leaders of four unions interviewed by the Globe last night said that they disagreed with Stern and were puzzled by his reported remarks.

 A Powerful Marketing Tool: The Loss Leader   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-16)
If you can coordinate your loss leader item with a special time of year(for example: mulch in the spring, cashmere sweaters in the fall.), your marketing might be even more successful.
A note of caution: always include in your loss leader ads the words, "While Supplies Last." Customers can become angry when driving all the way to your store then finding that the item they wanted is sold out.
Order as many of each loss leader item as you can, and try to set up channel so that you can get additional items sent to you ASAP if the demand is even greater than you expected, or if you'll be offering a "rain check" should the item be sold out.

 Tape: Zarqawi Death Great Loss
CAIRO, Egypt - A key insurgency leader in Iraq said the U.S. killing of Abu Musab al-Zarqawi was a "great loss," but one that will strengthen the militants' determination, according to an audio tape broadcast Friday.
The tape appeared to be an attempt to rally support for the insurgents after last week's killing of al-Zarqawi, the leader of al-Qaida in Iraq who died when U.S. forces bombed the house north of Baghdad where he was meeting his advisers.
Mustafa Alani, a terror specialist at the Gulf Research Center in Dubai, has said the new leader will be appointed by Osama bin Laden or his top al-Qaida lieutenant Ayman al-Zawahri, who are believed to be hiding in the border mountains of Pakistan and Afghanistan.

 Web Host Industry News | Ten Turning Points: The Web Hosting Price War
Loss leaders, with their eyebrow-raising effects, are usually useful in generating publicity for a brand and boosting its profile.
Loss leaders can also "attract the wrong type of audience," says Branaman, leaving a host with a "base of customers that are not loyal to the services or interested in additional services, therefore making the overall business unprofitable."
But aggressive loss leaders can hurt the industry by creating a lower price floor that may commoditize the market in the long run, forcing new companies to come in at lower price points.

 Green Left - NZ Alliance rises to challenge of leader's loss
The proposed changes, unveiled at the Alliance's Auckland regional conference on November 12-13, represent a shift to the left and reflect the mood of a membership determined to prove the falsity of claims by the conservative Labour and National parties, and the big business press, that Anderton's departure is the death knell of the Alliance.
Mana Motuhake leader Sandra Lee was elected leader unanimously by the Alliance National Council on November 11.
In her address to the Auckland conference, her first speech as leader, Lee attacked New Zealand's money market operators, who were seen on national television celebrating Anderton's resignation with expensive champagne, and the Labour Party.

 Trade demands, loss of leader sap clout of anti-Castro Cubans in U.S. / Chicago Tribune - Cuba News / Noticias - ...
And while the saga of Elian Gonzalez may not be the sole reason, the tale of the 6-year-old shipwreck survivor has helped to highlight a new truth for the Cuban-American community: a loss of clout that generous campaign donations may not be able to undo.
Observers also point to the death of the group's charismatic leader, Jorge Mas Canosa, the pope's 1999 visit to Cuba, the end of the Cold War and the loss of White House access that had been afforded under the Reagan and Bush administrations.
The 1997 death of Canosa, the foundation's leader, left a void of charismatic, untiring leadership in Washington and also in South Florida, where the foundation competes for power and attention with the likes of Miami Mayor Joe Carollo and Democracy Movement leader Ramon Saul Sanchez.
