Adware maker settles with FTC for $1.5M1777 February 20th, 2007
Adware distributor Direct Revenue LLC has agreed to pay $1.5 million
to settle charges filed by the U.S. Federal Trade Commission (FTC).
The deal, announced Friday, is the second such agreement struck
by the FTC with an adware vendor in the last four months. In November,
Zango Inc. — also known as 180solutions — agreed to pay $3 million to
settle similar allegations.
According to the FTC's charges, Direct Revenue and its
affiliates installed adware, including programs that produced pop-up
ads, on users' machines without properly disclosing what the software
would do. In some cases, Direct Revenue affiliates exploited browser
security flaws to install adware. The result, said the FTC, was "unfair
and deceptive methods to download adware onto consumers' computers and
then obstruct them from removing it."

Hallmark Hotel Liverpool South
Address: 3 Aigburth Drive, Sefton Park L17 3aa (Ex.best Western Hallmark Hotel Alicia / Best Western The Alicia Hotel) Liverpool, United Kingdom
Best Western Hallmark Hotel Liverpool Alicia is just a few minutes drive away from Liverpool city centre, but offers accommodation that's a world away from the vibrant city centre. Set in the spacious parklands of Sefton Park, you'll enjoy peace and quiet day and night!
The hotel building itself is simply stunning. Originally an Edwardian cotton merchant's house, we now have the added luxury of a fabulous modern conservatory. Our private terrace gardens are an equally attractive place to take time out!
From relaxing (or romantic) walks around Sefton Park to the many sights and sounds of the Beatles' hometown, Liverpool is a great place to take a break without getting away from it all completely!.
By Car (from the M6/M62):
- As you come to the end of the M62, move over to the left hand lane and go past the service station, where you will then see Higson's Rocket Pub.
- Take the hard left slip road past this pub that will swing you onto a dual carriageway (Queens Drive / A5058).
- You will come to 2 major roundabouts. The 1st is "The Childwall Fiveways", go straight ahead at this keeping the "Fiveways Pub" to your left.
- Proceed down Queen's Drive to the next roundabout and go straight over, keeping to the middle lane, following the signs for "University Halls of Residence, Aigburth".
- Queens Drive is now a single carriage road, in a residential area lined with trees.
- You will soon pass under a bridge and through a set of traffic lights, after this Queens Drive will end at a mini roundabout and this will bring you into Sefton Park.
- Take the 2nd exit off this roundabout and proceed round the perimeter of the park, keeping the houses/hotels on your left hand-side.
- You will find the hotel approximately 2.5 km (1.5 miles) around it..
Total number of rooms 41.

Brooklyn Nets SG Joe Johnson Has New 'Holy' Nickname [Video]
Joe Johnson has been somewhat of a savior for the Brooklyn Nets since arriving to the team last year in a trade with the Atlanta Hawks.
He has hit countless game winning shots for the team during his tenure, including a buzzer beater to beat the Oklahoma City Thunder on January 2.
With his 23 points last night in the Nets 91-86 win to his former team to add to his resume, Kevin Garnett has found a new nickname for the shooting guard.
"Joe Jesus."
I would love to see this on the back of his jersey January 10, as the team faces the Miami Heat in jerseys that will have their nicknames on the back instead of their last names.
Listen to Garnett's meaning behind the name below.

Communication and Leadership During Change
This article has multiple issues. Please help improve it or discuss these issues on the talk page. (Learn how and when to remove these template messages)(Learn how and when to remove this template message)
The goal of leader development is "the expansion of the person's capacity to be effective in leadership roles and processes."[attribution needed] The two central elements to this are:
- Leadership can be learned…people do learn, grow, and change
- Leader development helps to make a person effective in a variety of formal and informal leadership roles.[1]
Leader development promotes personal growth, helping individuals develop their abilities to manage themselves, to work effectively with others, and to ensure that the work gets done. Leadership development promotes organizational growth, helping the group as a whole develop the leaders it needs to carry out such tasks as securing the commitment of members and setting direction.[1]
Establishing connections with people who can help one achieve one's goals will increase your chances of emerging as a leader in an organizational context. A great deal of a leader's development happens internally. Leadership development is an "inside-out" process that starts within the leader and then moves outward to impact others.[citation needed] A leader's effectiveness is based on character principles like fairness, integrity, honesty, service, excellence, and growth. According to Stephen Covey's The Seven Habits of Highly Effective People, habits are a combination of knowledge (what to do and why to do it), skill (how to do it), and motivation (wanting to do it).
- Habit 1 is to be proactive; proactive leaders realize that they can choose how they respond to events.
- Habit 2 is to begin with the end in mind; effective leaders always keep their ultimate goals in mind.
- Habit 3 is to put first things first; leader's time should be organized around priorities.
- Habit 4 is to think win/win; those with win/win perspectives take a mutual gains approach to communication, believing that the best solution benefits both parties.
- Habit 5 is to seek first to understand, and then to be understood; effective leaders put aside their personal concerns to engage in empathetic listening.
- Habit 6 is synergize; synergy creates a solution that is greater than the sum of its parts.
- Habit 7 is to sharpen the saw; continual renewal of the physical, social/emotional, spiritual, and mental dimensions of the self.
Spirituality has played a critical role in leaders development, "helping them to make and follow through on their moral choices, develop virtues and character, identify their values and purpose, reaching job assignments and hardships." There are some common spiritual practices that promote leader effectiveness, such as 1. Treating others fairly, 2. Expressing care and concern, 3. Listening responsively, 4. Appreciating the contributions of others, 5. Engaging in reflective practice.,[2] or "Personal Mastery", the first pathway in Cashman's Seven Pathways to Mastery.[3]
- 1 Self-leadership
- 2 Leading followers through change
- 3 Communication and leadership as an internal process
- 4 Innovative leadership and change
- 5 References
- 6 External links
It has been argued, by people such as Kevin Cashman, that leadership should be looked at from within.[4] According to Cashman, leadership can be defined as the "authentic self-expression that creates value."[5] This form of leadership can be found at all levels within an organization.[6] He identifies seven pathways for individuals to lead from the inside out. Instead of a hierarchical order, these pathways are created holistically.[7]
Pathway One: Personal Mastery[6]
- Exploring and getting to know yourself and what is important to you by asking questions such as:
- What do I believe about myself and other people?
- What do I believe about leadership
- What do I believe about life and the world?
Pathway Two: Purpose Mastery[6]
- Focusing on understanding and using your gifts and talents to add value to those around you
- Identifying activities that are energizing and exciting
Pathway Three: Change Mastery[6]
- Letting go of old patterns to enhance creativity
- Being adaptable and willing to change
- Changing current reality allows a leader to see a new reality
Pathway Four: Interpersonal Mastery[7]
- Focusing on the development of interpersonal competencies
- Seeking feedback from others will help to improve personal relationships
Pathway Five: Being Mastery[7]
- Using periods of peace and silence to understand one's inner most being
Pathway Six: Balance Mastery[7]
- Taking time for self, family and friends is critical to maintaining balance in life
- Achieving balance may be one of the most difficult pathways to master, but is the most important
Pathway Seven: Action Mastery[6]
- Leading as a whole person by getting in touch with one's authentic self and expressing it to others
Leading followers through change[edit]
According to Klepper (1997), there are four main periods organizations go through when there is change within. The first period is the Formative Period. It is when a new organization is just getting started. Although there is a founding vision, there are no formal definitions. This is just as well because normally there are a lot of experimentation and innovation taking place. These changes of creativity and discovery are needed to overcome obstacles and accomplish breakthroughs. The second period is Rapid Growth Period. Direction and coordination are added to the organization to sustain growth and solidify gains. Change is focused on defining the purpose of the organization and on the mainstream business. The third period is the Mature Period. The strong growth curve levels off to the overall pace of the economy. Changes are needed to maintain established markets and assuring maximum gains are achieved. The fourth and last period is the Declining Period. This is the rough ride. For many organizations it means down-sizing and reorganization. To survive, changes include tough objectives and compassionate implementation. The goal is to get out of the old and into something new. Success in this period means that the four periods start over again. [8]
It is extremely important for leaders to be flexible and acceptable to change because it is inevitable.[9] In order to get through change, organizations need good leaders to help them guide through these tough times. It is vital that the leader keeps the core values of the company in tact while they go through change to make sure that the company still meets the needs of it customers. Some leaders will take note of previous leaders and adopt certain things that were successful that those other leaders did when they went through change. The leader needs to keep the other employees focused during this change period. [10]
As mentioned, leaders really need to have their followers focus on change acceptance since change is inevitable. Connor (1997) says there are five steps to help followers through this.
- Denial – cannot foresee any major changes
- Anger – at others for what they're putting me through
- Bargaining – work out solutions, keep everyone happy
- Depression – is it worth it? doubt, need support
- Acceptance – the reality
Using these steps will help employees and followers understand what is happening and make them more apt to work through the changes instead of just giving up and not giving you their best work they are capable of. People get very comfortable with what they are used to and do not want to have to do something else that they are not comfortable with. People get in routines and like to stick with them if they are working out. There are a few attitudes that leaders can give to employees to help them accept change.
From "Why?" to "What new opportunities will this provide?" When they ask "why," focus on the benefits that the change will provide them and the organization. Do NOT feel uncomfortable if you are feeling hesitation about the change too...you are also human. By spelling out the benefits, you will not only comfort them, but help to convince yourself too.
From "How will this affect me?" to "What problems will this solve?" Anything that prevents something from being better is a problem. Let them know what the problem is and how they will be part of the solution.
From "We do not do it this way." to "What would it look like?" Show them, provide plenty of explanations and compassion, and get your team to ask and answer questions.
From "When will this change be over so we can get back to work?" to "What can I do to help?" Get them involved in implementing the change. Help them to become part of it.
From "Who is doing this to us?" to "Who can help us?" Focus on the challenges that must be overcome. Ensure that you enlist help from other departments and colleagues. [8]
By trying to change these views of employees it will make change much easier for everyone and it might end up being for the better.
Communication and leadership as an internal process[edit]
According to Hackman and Johnson, communication is an integral part of the internal process of leaders.[1] Leaders must face many obstacles and challenging situations that can lead to personal growth. Much of the personal development that occurs for leaders is done as an internal process.
As they personally deal with issues, they make decisions that affect their lives and the lives of others. Intrapersonal communication plays an important role in the decision making process and for personal development of the leader. What this communication does inwardly eventually manifests itself in outward effects.
Personal development as an internal process[edit]
Personal development is an important aspect of leadership.[11] The need for programs specializing in personal development is widely accepted across a variety of fields from science [12] to religion.[13]
Leadership programs focus on both the outward display or leadership and the inward attitudes, behaviors, and beliefs. Many of the authors of leadership books around the turn of the century began highlighting the internal process side of leadership development including Stephen Covey, author of The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People, and Kevin Cashman, author of Leadership from the Inside Out. Both were widely successful best-sellers which focused on internal concepts such as "Being Proactive", Habit 1 in Covey's 7 Habits,[2] or "Personal Mastery", the first pathway in Cashman's Seven Pathways to Mastery.[3]
These books have spawned personal leadership development programs and seminars designed to help leaders become more in tune with their selves and work on their weaknesses. Recognizing weak points and improving upon them is one valuable skill for leadership development.[11]
Many leadership programs focus on changing attitudes, behaviors, and beliefs within a person.[1] Kevin Cashman argues that leadership "comes from within and is an expression of who we are."[3]
Role of intrapersonal communication[edit]
When leaders begin self-reflective analysis of themselves, they begin to engage in intrapersonal communication. Intrapersonal communication is defined as communication occurring within the individual mind or self.[14] It can be as simple as internal thoughts or more complex neurophysiological means of examining our self.[15] There is a long history of research on intrapersonal communication and its connection to internal development.[16] Individuals frequently engage in intrapersonal communication as a means of self-awareness and it is an internal process related to personal development.[17]
For leaders, there are many benefits for intrapersonal communication. Intrapersonal communication can increase self-awareness.[17] It can give the leader a better view of self. Research shows it is a means of overcoming communication apprehension, for both interpersonal and public communication.[18] These are some of the benefits for the leader who engages in intrapersonal communication as an internal process for personal development.
Innovative leadership and change[edit]
There is little peer-reviewed material on the intermingling of innovation and leadership. It is, however, very evident[according to whom?] that great innovation comes from great leaders. Steve Jobs is an example of one of the great technological innovators of our time.[according to whom?] As a new phenomenon and thought, many[who?] are seeking out how leadership effects innovation and vice versa. Many acknowledge the need for public sector support and societal support of innovation in order for funding to occur, and in turn, innovation to occur,[19] many universities are implementing innovation networks, and the necessity for unique and independent thinkers is apparent. Google says, "Our commitment to innovation depends on everyone being comfortable sharing ideas and opinions".[20]
Transformational leadership and innovation[edit]
Transformational leadership, a type of leadership that has an ability to change an organization,[1] would likely produce innovation. Since innovation is more than simply invention, the process of leadership can in and of itself be innovative. Innovation is a crucial part of being an effective and productive transformational leader. A transformational leader is creative, interactive, visionary, empowering, and passionate.[1] These same characteristics could be assigned to an innovator. A transformational leader produces innovative followers.[21] The subordinates self-concept function determines how the follower will react to the leader. (cite same article above) The capabilities and strengths of a leader to be a leader have a direct effect on an organization's success.[22] Oftentimes, leaders are not trained well in leadership development, leaving them unprepared to foster an environment of innovation.[22] An innovative leader is a transformational leader.[according to whom?]

NEW to induct Walmart CEO Duke into Diversity Hall of Fame
Friday, May 4, 2012
Michael T. Duke
Michael T. Duke, president and CEO of Wal-Mart Inc., will be inducted into the Network of Executive Women CPG/Retail Diversity Hall of Fame, June 28, 2012 in Rogers, Ark.
The NEW CPG/Retail Diversity Hall of Fame, established in 2011, honors industry leaders who have demonstrated an enduring commitment to the advancement of women and to creating a diverse and inclusive workplace. Duke will receive the William J. Grize Award, named after the late CEO of Ahold USA who was an early advocate of workforce diversity in the cpg/retail industry. The award was previously known as the NEW Outstanding Champion Award.
"Under Mike Duke's leadership, the world's largest retail company has promoted talented women to the highest levels," said NEW President and CEO Joan Toth. "His commitment to gender diversity and inclusion has put a spotlight on the importance and value of developing women leaders and continues to strengthen Walmart's position in the marketplace."
"We know that companies with more women in leadership are also more successful," Duke said. "Our core customers are women, and they are making the majority of the buying decisions for their homes. If we are to truly understand these customers and give them what they need, we should reflect the people we serve."
Walmart has advanced women to a number of key positions during Duke's tenure as president and CEO. In January 2012, Rosalind Brewer, the first chairperson of the Walmart President's Council of Global Women Leaders, became the first woman and African American to lead one of Walmart's three business units when she was promoted to chief executive of Sam's Club. At the same time, Walmart promoted Gisel Ruiz to executive vice president and chief operating officer of its U.S. business and Karenann Terrell to chief information officer.
"Being involved in the Network's leadership, I have the opportunity to see how a variety of companies lead diversity," said NEW Board Chair Michelle Gloeckler, senior vice president, home for Walmart U.S. "I can assure you, at Walmart it's part of our culture and we believe we are the best at it in the industry around the globe."
Last fall, Duke unveiled the Walmart Global Women's Economic Empowerment Initiative, which uses the company's size and scale to help empower women across its supply chain. Over five years, the company will source $20 billion from women-owned businesses in the United States and double sourcing from women suppliers internationally.
Duke has been a longtime supporter of NEW, describing it as a "national model and a true change agent." Like NEW, Duke has pushed to give women a larger leadership role in the cpg/retail industry. He has focused on bringing in talented women and then ensuring they have mentors, role models and the development opportunities they need to help prepare them for more responsibility.
"Deloitte has been a proud sponsor of this award for the past 10 years and we are especially pleased to help honor Mike Duke," said Alison Kenney Paul, past Board chair of the Network and vice chairman and U.S. retail leader, principal for Deloitte. "Walmart's support of the Network and diversity in retail has been truly transformative."
Duke will receive the award at Women's Day at the LPGA, an official event of the Walmart Northwest Arkansas LPGA golf championship. The breakfast event will be co-hosted by NEW Northwest Arkansas June 28 from 8:30 a.m. to 10:30 a.m. at the John Q. Hammonds Center in Rogers, Ark.
The morning event will include breakfast,
networking and a panel discussion, followed by the award presentation. Panelists will include Duke;
Gisel Ruiz, executive vice president and chief operating officer for Walmart US;
Elane Stock, president of Kimberly-Clark Professional; and past NEW Chair
Alison Kenney Paul, vice chairman, U.S. retail and distribution leader, principal for Deloitte. The event is open to industry members who register online.
for the event is $25.

By Nanci Hellmich, USA TODAY
The right novel can inspire weight loss in adolescent girls, a new study shows.
Pediatrician Sarah Armstrong, director of the Healthy Lifestyles Program at Duke University, and colleagues tracked obese girls ages 9 to 13 who were participating in the program, a comprehensive intervention for overweight children and teens.
The researchers had 31 of the girls read Lake Rescue, in the Beacon Street Girls series by Annie Bryant. In the novel, children go rock climbing, hiking and canoeing on a class trip to the mountains.
One character is an overweight girl who is ridiculed by her classmates. But on this trip, she learns to make better food choices and discovers that physical activity is fun.
The researchers gave 33 obese girls a different novel called Charlotte in Paris, a book from the same series that doesn't have an overweight heroine. And 17 girls didn't receive either book.
The findings, published online today in Pediatrics, show that at the end of six months, the girls who read Lake Rescue had a 0.71 drop in their body mass index (BMI) percentile, a number that incorporates age, height and weight.
Those girls who read the other novel had a 0.33 percentile drop, and those who didn't read a book had a 0.05 percentile increase. These differences were small but statistically significant, Armstrong says.
"This provides hope to parents that something as simple as an inspiring novel may help their kids make healthier choices and lower their risk of medical illnesses," she says.
Reading such a book is "a win-win-win situation," she says. "It promotes literacy. It helps kids achieve a healthy weight, and it enhances girls' self-esteem."
Armstrong says parents who want to help their kids make healthier choices can consider using advice from the North Carolina-sponsored message called "5-3-2-1-almost none." It's a daily recommendation to families to eat five fruits and vegetables a day; consume three structured meals a day; limit screen time (TV, computer) to no more than two hours a day; be physically active for at least an hour a day; and consume "almost none" of the sugary drinks.

Steele Crest Winery opens near Jackson
Terry and Sheila Steele spent the past three-and-a-half years building the business of their dreams.
The couple recently opened Steele Crest Winery at 2055 Highway Y, near Jackson.
The couple also owns Jackson Door and Window and couldn't bear to lay off their employees when the housing industry went flat, so they decided to put them to work creating a winery.
"I had to lay them off if I didn't do something, so I said, you guys help me build this winery," said Terry Steele. "Everything is handmade, even the chairs you sit on."
The three-acre winery features a 3,000 square-foot wine tasting and restaurant building with large decks featuring ample outdoor seating.
The winery is open for lunch and dinner serving brick over pizzas, kabobs, open face sandwiches, cheese platters, appetizers and more using only fresh ingredients, said Terry Steele.
Steele Crest offers five fruit wines, 7 white wines, iced tea wines, and six red wines.
Thirteen wines are available for free tastings from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. Saturday & Sunday.
Live music is also played each weekend in the winery's gazebo, which looks like a 1920's gas station decorated with vintage signs.
"I like seeing old things come back to life," said Terry Steele. "That's really my passion."

Woman finds suprise in Sonic order! This happened in Frederick!
A Maryland woman found an extra dose of happy in her fast-food meal when she ordered a combo of chicken fingers and fries – and came away with a baggie of pot as well.
Carla McFarland says that she pulled out of the drive-thru at her local Sonic in Frederick and began to tuck into her meal when she saw the packet in her bag of fries – and immediately knew it wasn't the kind of spice she wanted in her life. She immediately stopped her kids from eating their meals before checking to see if they also had the bonus packets – which they didn't.
According to a manager, an employee admitted the marijuana was hers and said that it must have fallen from her apron – an offense that got her fired on the spot. McFarland got free replacement meals for her and her kids. (UPI)

The Cardboard Car
Green-Gant is a small village in Wales at the furthest point of the pendine sands - an immense stretch of desrted beach. Noone has ever seen or heard of this pinprick of a village, as, it being the furthest point, map makers and tourists simply can never be bothered to trek to the village - meaning noone except its residents know it exists.
Due to its isolation, it seems the ideal place for the terrifyingly mishapen Martyn Silverside to live. However, it also means that the village residence can do as they please, and so Martyn had learnt todrive at the age of ten (to save the catastrophic consequences of getting public transport, including several passengers becoming blind and numerous crashses and stray objects flung in desperation.)
When Martyn was seven, his parents went through a stage of locking their only son in the attic to save any more casserole dishes being broken (or thrown across the room in the first place.) The young chap lived in this small confined space, perfectly happy, and living off a diet of grated cheese and crunchie bars - the only food his mother could slip between the floorboards of the attic.
It was here that Martyn became accustomed to confined spaces, and crrunchie bars, but much to his dismay his parents finally let him out as the bats in the attic had been stated as an endangered species and the sight of Martyn had most probably caused this drop in numbers. When he learnt to drive, he found driving insufferable as he felt to out in the open. He searched and searched the small cornershop in Green-Gant for a smaller sized car, but alas, surprisingly, no such thing could be found. However, Martyn did in fact find several yards of congregated cardboard and a large pot of PVA glue, and so did as every other grotesque looking loner boy that loved confined spaces would do - he made a bookmark. Oh yeah, he also made a car.

A TEENAGER who had a devastating stroke after taking the Pill has slammed
plans to dish it out to young girls.
Gemma Hill was left in a wheelchair with damaged speech and eyesight after
being given the Microgynon contraceptive pill aged 15.
A blood clot — a side effect of the drug — had travelled to her brain. Gemma,
now 17, has made a full recovery.
But last night she reacted in horror to an NHS report recommending girls as
young as 13 should get the Pill without seeing a doctor.
The teen — in a relationship with student Jamie Darbyshir — said: "I don't
agree. I think 13 is way too young for a girl to make a decision on
contraception. I'm convinced I suffered a stroke because of the Pill and it
could've killed me. Girls need to know the side effects."
Her mum Maria, 40, of Leicester, added: "Girls are just going to walk into
chemists and say, 'Give me the Pill'. It's crazy."
Pill manufacturer Bayer Healthcare said: "The venous thromboembolism risk is
slightly increased for women taking combined oral contraceptives."

GWCC approves deal with city, Falcons for new stadium
ATLANTA - Channel 2's Jim Strickland reported Friday afternoon that the Georgia World Congress Center board of directors has voted to enter into an agreement with the city of Atlanta and the Atlanta Falcons football team to construct a new billion-dollar stadium in downtown Atlanta.
"I can't say it enough. The Falcons guarantee everything," Georgia World Congress Center attorney Denis Braham told the authority board.
The Falcons are pledging $70 million to buy property, relocate Martin Luther King Jr. Drive and do other site prep south of the Georgia Dome where the new stadium would preferably be built.
Strickland received a document from City Hall showing that a new MLK would curve to make room for the stadium. The road would cross a small section of what is now Mitchell Street, and encroach on Friendship Baptist Church and its parking lot. The church would be bought out.
"It's really nicely situated to become a link if it's designed that way," said urban designer Peter Drey. "But the devil's in the details, and how they cook it is what's going to matter."
After agreeing to issue a net $200 million in bonds to help replace the dome, Invest Atlanta will get input, but not veto power, on the design.
"When people come for games, you want them to stay and spend money and go to restaurants and you want to make sure that's integrated into the fabric of the neighborhood," said executive director Brian McGowan.
McGowan also addressed the controversy over his agency wanting free tickets to the Falcons games, concerts and other events.
McGowan said policies will ensure those tickets are used for economic development. The GWCC Authority already gets access to two suites in the Georgia Dome. It would get that in the new stadium too.

Sunil Gulati (/ˈsuːniːl ɡuːˈlɑːtiː/ SOO-neel goo-LAH-tee;[citation needed] born July 30, 1959) is the president of the United States Soccer Federation (USSF) and was on April 19, 2013, elected to a four-year term on the FIFA Council.[1][2] In March 2014, he was unanimously re-elected to a record third four-year term as USSF president; having been elected initially in 2006 and re-elected again in 2010.[3] Gulati is also a senior lecturer in the economics department of Columbia University.[4] He is the former president of Kraft Soccer for the New England Revolution in Major League Soccer.
Early life and education[edit]
Gulati was born in Allahabad, India. His family moved to Connecticut when he was five years old, and he grew up playing soccer.[5] Gulati is an alumnus of Cheshire High School in Cheshire, Connecticut. He graduated magna cum laude from Bucknell University and earned his M.A. and M.Phil. in economics at Columbia University. In 1991, he joined the World Bank through its Young Professionals Program and served as country economist for Moldova.
Soccer development service[edit]
Elected in March 2006,[6] Gulati is directly involved at the highest level in the development of soccer in the United States.[5] Former USSF president and Major League Soccer founder Alan Rothenberg called Gulati "the single most important person in the development of soccer in this country".[7] Gulati served as United States Soccer Federation (USSF) vice president for six years and played a key role in major USSF decisions for many years prior to his election as president. In February 2010, he was re-elected for another four-year term as USSF president.[8]
In February 2009, Gulati announced that the USSF will bid for the right to host the World Cup in 2018 or 2022. He chaired the World Cup USA Bid Committee Board of Directors[9] and visited 20 of the 22 member voters on the FIFA Executive Committee.[10] The United States, however, was not selected to host either World Cup. In 2011, he was recognized and awarded the 2011 Trailblazer Award from the Association of South Asians in Media, Marketing and Entertainment (SAMMA) for his outstanding contributions to the world of U.S. sports.
In 2012, Sunil Gulati spearheaded the formation of a new professional women's soccer league in the United States.[11] The previous two attempts to form a women's league by the Women's United Soccer Association and Women's Professional Soccer folded in three years. On October 21, 2012, the USSF, the Canadian Soccer Association, and the Mexican Football Federation made a joint announcement on the creation of a new women's soccer league with clubs playing in Boston, Chicago, Kansas City, New Jersey, western New York, Portland, Oregon, Seattle, and Washington, D.C., Gulati advocated a "sustainable economic model", with the new league having a unique feature of the three federations paying the salaries of their national team players who play in this league.[12][13][14]
Career in academia[edit]
Because the United States Soccer Federation has a full-time professional staff handling the federation's day-to-day business, Gulati is able to maintain a parallel, full-time career in academia. Sunil Gulati is a senior lecturer in economics at Columbia University, having also previously served on the Columbia economics faculty from 1986 to 1990. At Columbia, Gulati teaches principles of economics, global economics, and sports economics. The sports economics class is often heavily over-subscribed, with students known to camp out overnight to secure a place.[7]
FIFA Executive Committee[edit]
Gulati was elected to the FIFA Executive Committee on April 19, 2013 following a narrow 18-17 vote over Mexican Federation of Association Football President Justino Compeán at the CONCACAF Congress in Panama City, Panama.[15][16] Of the four executive committee meetings in 2013, Gulati attended three of them.[17] The fourth meeting was held before Gulati's election.[18][19][20][21] Gulati was one of several executive committee members to call for the publication of the Garcia Report into allegations of corruption surrounding Russia and Qatar's bids for the 2018 and 2022 FIFA World Cups.[22]
Personal life[edit]

I am drinking plenty of water,3-4 litres and urinate very frequently. When I feel dry mouth, I had to take water every 10minutes,without feeling any better. I don't know whether this has any connection with dry mouth, sometimes I feel tired. There was a day, when I could not even had the energy to raise my hands. Because of this tiredness ,I used to sleep during untimely hours. 4-5 days I was feeling better, just that I had dry mouth. But today I am again feeling fatigue &sleepy.

Hi there....I can understand your concern. Do you any associated symptoms like dry eyes, increased frequency of micturition, joint pain, any chronic drug intake like antihistamines? There are many causes for dry mouth like anemia, diabetes, sjogren syndrome, rheumatoid arthritis, any drug intake like antihistamines, diuretics, etc. Also you need to start relaxing yourself. Anxiety and tension also can cause dry mouth and fatigue. Try mediation and yoga to relax your mind. Also consult a neurologist so that he can evaluate you completely for dry mouth.

What Are You?
RJ was standing in a dark room.
Everything around him was pitch-black.
Suddenly, Hammy appeared in front of him.
"Hi, RJ!"
Then, a dark figure appeared behind Hammy.
It was wearing a black cloak, and held a scythe.
Its eyes glowed blood-red.
It aimed its scythe at Hammy, and sliced it down vertically.
Hammy was cut in half instantly.
Blood splattered on RJ's face.
RJ woke up, and looked around.
It had all been a dream…

This paper investigates the channels through which maternal employment affects childhood obesity. We use time diaries and interview responses from the Child Development Supplement of the Panel Study of Income Dynamics which combines information on children's time allocation, children's BMI, and mother's labor force participation. We find some evidence that supervision and nutrition play significant but small roles in the relationship between maternal employment and childhood obesity. Although the difference in the effect of maternal employment varies by mother's education, we find few differences in the mechanisms by mother's education.

Chargers: 4-4 With A Bullet
There is no such thing as a good loss. Period. That being said, the Chargers' performance this past Sunday against the Green Bay Packers was the closest thing to it. Sure, Philip Rivers was again a bit wild in both his decision making and some of his throws, but the truth is that he and Vincent Jackson only further solidified their rapport as one of the best quarterback/wide receiver duos in all of the NFL.
It's still difficult to understand why Rivers has had such a tough time getting comfortable this season as far as his demeanor is concerned. Clearly the offensive line has struggled in stretches to keep the signal caller clean, but even when he has plenty of time to survey the field, something seems amiss with Rivers.
Even Chargers' ownership is a bit baffled at the quarterback's struggles this year as Dean Spanos told NBC's Alex Flanagan in a recent interview that: "Sometimes you just have an off year. That is what Philip Rivers is having so far."
It isn't uncommon for owners to express their displeasure with certain coaches or even the occasional player at times, but this comment seems even more damning in many ways. Just the fact that Spanos is willing to categorize Rivers' entire SEASON as an 'off year' already has to raise some red flags for fans expecting a vote of confidence for their quarterback rather than a shovelful of dirt thrown onto his 2011 campaign.
In typical fighter-mentality, Rivers told the North County Times: "Regardless of what's happened thus far, good or bad, we can't change it. We have an eight-game season, and it starts on Thursday night. All four teams are alive, and it should be interesting to see what happens." The eight game season does indeed begin Thursday night and will be a quick turnaround for a Chargers team that scored 38 points in a losing effort Sunday versus Green Bay.
The help provided to the Bolts this past weekend was incredible with the Denver Broncos rising up to beat the Oakland Raiders while the once winless Miami Dolphins took down the Kansas City Chiefs. Now the AFC West logjam with three teams tied at 4-4 and Denver just one game back at 3-5 will sort itself out over the back half of the 2011 season. Those eight upcoming games really are all that the Chargers can control at this point and their crucial tilt on Thursday with the Raiders will play a big role in determining the direction of the division.
Despite all of the outside criticism that Rivers has drawn thus far in 2011 he has been adamant that there is "nothing different" about him as a player or his approach to the game. Perhaps it is the Chargers coaching staff that needs a different outlook on the game as Rivers has been asked to throw the ball 39.75 times on average in the team's four losses this season when even without their number one running back in Ryan Mathews this past week, the Bolts showed the ability to run effectively with Mike Tolbert making the most of his 19 carries for 83 yards.
There were countless times on Sunday when Tolbert would tote the ball with success on first down only to have a second down incompletion again put the team behind the chains. The play-calling again has to come under scrutiny with Norv Turner's pass-happy mentality putting the Bolts at an offensive disadvantage against the Packers who had no answer for the grinding running of Tolbert.
With more dedication to sticking with the running game, plenty of opportunities would be opened up for play action passes as a result. Antonio Gates had his strongest outing of the year on Sunday looking like the physical mismatch that Bolts fans fondly remember, but with a viable run-threat on a play-by-play basis, Gates' effectiveness would only be elevated that much more.
In reality, the Chargers are just reliving season's past in 2011 to this point with more of the same questionable play calling by their mediocre head coach and more of the same ambivalence in terms of results with a 4-4 record to this point. This team has the talent to win on a regular basis and the leadership on the field to do so as well, but unfortunately the man on the sidelines calling the shots is holding the reigns and steering them in the wrong direction.
As the painful losses pile up for this team and Turner continues to hold no one accountable while simply making more lame excuses, ask yourself this: Was Rex Ryan right in saying that he would already have a 'couple of rings' had he been coaching the Chargers over the last handful of years?
Now it's your chance to be heard! Do you think that the offense made some positive strides on Sunday or was it more of the same struggles from Rivers? Was it okay for Dean Spanos to say what he did about Rivers or would those comments have been better kept in-house? Will the desperation-mode that the Bolts currently find themselves in heighten their sense of urgency and improve their play or will they crumble under the pressure of must-win on a week-to-week basis? Would a consistent dedication to running the ball and play action passing help the offense to avoid costly mistakes? Do you think Rex Ryan had a point in the shots he took at Norv Turner two weeks ago? Please fill up the comments section below with your input!
