rawing from 15 years of tough international negotiations in raw materials, high-heeled bootstrap entre- preneur Valérie Antoinette offers the tenets of international negotiations at the Tuesdays at 10:30 event April 12. In this hour, Antoinette shows why cross-cultural awareness and the necessity of concessions are imperative to negotiating successfully. Though people may not be engaged in international negotiations, the world is multicultural, and interacting across cultures with colleagues often requires the same subtleties of a multi-million-dollar deal. Indeed, negotiating is an art that easily translates to daily life. After all, for those who know how to spot it, the oppor- tunity to negotiate is part of the quotidian. Born and raised in Switzerland, Antoinette speaks five languages and brings a world-view from having lived on several continents. Through professional stories and anecdotes, she shares her best techniques to recognizing how non-verbal
cues, an acute sense of who’s at the table, and what’s on the table for negotiating is critical.

So, Josh Cox wins the PF Chang's RNR Arizona marathon, then spends another 131/2
laps on a
track to finish his attempt at breaking the AR for 50k. Josh Cox broke his old AR of 2:47 by over 3 minutes, and missed the World record by 7 sec! onds! Running 2:43:45, Josh hit the marathon point in 2:17:32, and then ran another 26 minutes 13 seconds to complete his record attempt! 31.05 miles or 50,000 meters, however, you see it, sure makes for a long day in the o"ce!
Josh Cox, all of 35, won his second RNR Arizona Marathon in a row. His 2:43:45 for the 50k dis! tance broke the current American record, which he holds, by 31/2
minutes! On top of that, Cox
missed the World record, set way back in 1988 by South Africa's Thompson Magawana, of 2:43:38 by 7 seconds!
Josh Cox’s response was typical of his modesty: "Seven seconds is hard to swallow. " As he spoke to the assembled media, he noted, "But I am happy. The American record is nothing to hang your head about. I did everything I could ... I will be back. I would like the World record here in 2 years. I would like to give it another shot ... that ever!elusive World record."
Why will Josh put it o# for a couple of years? Be! cause, like 100 other elite marathoners in the U.S. who’ve run under 2:19 for the marathon, he will be in Houston next January for a little thing called the U.S. Olympic Trials. With his show of en! durance, Josh Cox's stock has moved up the marathon food chain! Watch for this up!and! comer in Houston!
