C-Store Retailers Get Hot for Summer
More than 50 c-store retailers opened or upgraded Hot Stuff Pizza units in May; Hot Stuff rolls out Asian fare.
More than 50 retailers either opened new Hot Stuff Pizza units or upgraded existing units during the month of May, the company reported.
"The Memorial Day weekend was a great way to both conclude a successful May as well as kick off what we expect to be a very successful summer," said Des Hague, president and CEO of Hot Stuff Foods. Hague noted that the May figures bring the total number of new store openings since the beginning of the year close to 150, in addition to nearly 150 upgrades in the same time period.
Hague noted that the company's year-to-date performance is ahead of both last year's numbers and Hot Stuff's 2005 plan. He says several "hot" initiatives are keeping momentum strong, including new summer promotions, pilot programs and operational support to make sure Hot Stuff Foods franchisees are always positioned to provide customers with "24/7 food solutions."
Chains that opened or upgraded Hot Stuff units in May included 7-Eleven, am/pm, Chevron, Circle K, Flash Market and Quik Chek.
Looking East
Hot Stuff has also added Asian fare to its food solutions initiative. According to Hague, the company's new XXL Chinese Rollz are one of the hottest items on the new summer menu. The new product comes in three varieties (orange chicken, pepper steak and teriyaki chicken) with a suggested retail of $1.99.
"The average daily sales of Our XXL Chinese Rollz have already surpassed last year's record selling pilot -- The XXL Taquito," reported Hague. " As a matter of fact, most retailers are offering both and are telling us they've seen no cannibalization of neither Hot Stuff pizza nor XXL Taquito rings."
Hague admitted that a few longtime Hot Stuff Foods franchisees were a little hesitant to sign up for the pilot, but are now some of the programs biggest proponents.
Roland (Butch) Harris admitted he was a little skeptical, but said the XXL Chinese Rollz "have been a pleasant surprise." Harris, who operates GOCO stores in Southern Alabama, has reported increasing sales, especially with the teriyaki chicken and pepper steak.
Jodi Laird, a store manager for Oklahoma-based Hop & Sack, has added over $200 a week in sales with XXL Chinese Rollz. "I tell my customers, try it. If you don't like it, I'll pay for it," Laird said. "I've never had to pay for one yet." Laird also added that part of her success is knowing what her customers like. She said she knew right away that the pepper steak would be the most popular of the new item in her store. "My old cowboys [a term of endearment Laird has for her customers who work at nearby ranches] said, 'This is really got the beef in it!' They're steak people," Laird affirmed. Laird said she can break down the taste preferences of her diverse customer base: "My older customers will generally prefer the orange chicken and a lot of my travelers [Laird's Hop & Sack store is located by a main highway] like the teriyaki chicken."
Elvena Charlton, foodservice manager for Bayfield Shell Truck & Auto Stop, noted the product has been a success from day one. "Our customers, many of them repeat, like the variety, quality and portability of this product. We are selling an average of 15 per day and have not seen any negative impact on our XXL Taquito sales. As a matter of fact, we are adding the new Spicy Nacho Beef XXL Taquito to our menu."
Hot Stuff Foods franchises and/or licenses its branded food concepts in more than 1,600 locations throughout the United States, Canada, Europe and Asia. Hot Stuff Foods offers a number of individual and bundled brands in various categories, including Hot Stuff Pizza, Hot Stuff Food On the Go, Hot Stuff Food Xpress, Smash Hit Subs, Summit Subs, C-Street Bakery, Mean Gene's Burgers, Mean Gene's Pizza, Stone Willy's Pizza, Moose Bros. Pizza, Eddie Pepper's, Asian Creations, Chix Chicken, Nap Hendrix's Southern Grill and Caffé Origins Coffee.

A photography student met her idol – and now wants to follow in his footsteps.
Rebekah Doyle, 19, takes pictures of punters for keyrings at the Bridgewater pub in Darwen, but fancies herself as a fine art photographer.
After meeting Professor Thomas Joshua Cooper, who founded the Glasgow School of Art's Fine Art Photography Department, she told of her plans to follow in his footsteps.
The New Lane, Oswaldtwistle, resident said: "I didn't leave school with a lot of qualification and I was always more creative than academic.
"I didn't have many GCSEs, and that was my fault not Mount Carmel's, as it's a good school.
"I always wanted to do photography, it was always a hobby, but I needed to get my maths and English GCSEs so I went back to college and got them with the aim of pursuing a career in photography.
"I went to look around Blackburn College and I signed up the morning I went in for the Extended National Diploma in Photography Level Three course as they just made me feel so welcome and it has such a good reputation.
"I have learnt a lot on the course and also like filming and work part-time taking the keyring photographs which I love.
"I have started looking at universities and Glasgow's School of Art has a really good reputation."
And this is where she bumped into someone she greatly admires – by sheer chance.
Rebekah added: "I went to look around but I sneaked in at a post graduate day even though I didn't qualify. I took my portfolio and just asked if I could show it to someone. They took me to a room and I thought I would just meet a secretary but then I was suddenly shaking hands with Thomas Joshua Cooper and I felt so lucky. He is someone I admire and he is a genius in his field.
"He looked at my portfolio and took a lot of interest in what I was doing and my work and I have applied to go there. He even sent me an email wishing me a happy new year!
"I love fine art. My photos are vibrant and I also like photographing people. I am so excited to see what the future holds."

4-10-1 A student who represents a school in an interscholastic sport shall be an amateur in that sport. An amateur athlete is one who participates in the activities of his/her sport for the purpose of deriving the physical, mental and social benefits organized sports competition has to offer and not for any present or future pecuniary or commercial gains. Since the student is considered an integral member of the student body, a clear line of distinction between educationally based athletics and professional sports must exist and be maintained at all times. It shall be the shared responsibility of school personnel, the athletes and their parents to maintain this clear line of distinction.
4-10-2 An athlete forfeits amateur status, and thus interscholastic athletic eligibility, if any of the following standards of amateurism are violated:
a) Competing for money or other remuneration. Allowable travel, meals and lodging expenses may be accepted provided that these expenses are not conditioned on the individual's or team's place finish or performance or given on an incentive basis and such expenses are provided to all participants in the competition. EXCEPTION: If a student, who is competing in the amateur division within a competition where prize money is available, signs a Request for Retention of Amateur Status written declaration prior to the competition in which the student agrees that he or she will not accept any prize money, the student may accept allowable travel, meals and lodging expenses provided that these expenses are not contingent upon the student's individual or a team's finish or performance or given as an incentive to achieve a specific goal or performance. Receipt of expenses received by the athlete shall be reported to the OHSAA so as to determine whether or not the expenses are in excess of those reasonable amounts for travel, meals and lodging.
The written declaration form can be found here: http://www.ohsaa.org/Portals/0/Eligibility/Bylaw4-10-2RequestRetentionofAmateurStatus.pdf
b) Capitalizing on the athlete's fame by receiving money, merchandise or services of value. An athlete "capitalizes" on his/her "athletic fame" by accepting money, merchandise or services of value based in whole or in part upon the notoriety the athlete received through his/her athletic skills and achievements. This includes using the athlete's skill, directly or indirectly, for pay in any form in that sport. "Pay" includes, but is not limited to, any direct or indirect remuneration, gratuity or other economic benefit in either the present or future, or any division or split of surplus (bonuses, games' receipts, etc.). Scholarships to institutions of higher education are specifically exempted;
c) Signing a contract or making a commitment of any kind to play professional athletics, regardless of its legal enforceability or any payment received. This prohibits signing a contract during the interscholastic athletics season that is dated after the completion of the athlete's interscholastic athletic eligibility;
d) Receiving, directly or indirectly, a salary, reimbursement of expenses, merchandise or services or any other form of financial assistance or benefits from a professional sports organization based upon athletics skills or participation. EXCEPTION: An athlete may receive reimbursement of expenses as per item (a) for a professional tryout;
e) Competing with any professional athletics team, even if no pay or remuneration for expenses was received; or
f) Entering into an agreement with a sports or marketing agent (O.R.C. §§4771.01 et seq.).
4-10-3 The following activities do not jeopardize amateur status:
a) Accepting a fee for instructing, supervising or officiating in an organized youth sports program or recreation, playground or camp activities;
b) Receiving school-sponsored membership or participation fees in youth serving agencies, athletic clubs, community recreation centers, instructional programs or camps, etc. provided such fees are paid directly to the agency;
c) Receiving an award, playing equipment or prize of monetary value which does not exceed the awards amount authorized by the Association;
d) Receiving all non-monetary benefits and awards provided to members of an Olympic team beyond actual and necessary expenses, including entertainment, equipment, clothing, long distance telephone service, Internet access, and any other item or service for which it can be demonstrated that the same benefit is available to all members of the nation's Olympic team or the specific sport Olympic team in question;
e) Accepting funds that are administered by the United States Olympic Committee pursuant to its Operation Gold Program; or
f) Participating in member school, charitable or educational promotions or fund-raising activities that involve the use of athletic ability by student-athletes to obtain funds (e.g., swimathons, lift-a-thons, shoot-a-thons) from donors, provided the student-athletes receive no compensation or prizes for their participation.
g) Accepting scholarship funds that are administered by a national governing body, e.g. the United States Bowling Congress' Scholarship Program, provided such funds are paid directly to a postsecondary institution and the funds are not available until after the student has graduated from high school.
4-10-4 A high school student who loses amateur status/athletic eligibility may apply to the Association for reinstatement in the interscholastic program. Such appeals shall be handled by the Commissioner in accordance with the bylaws. If a student-athlete in one sport violates a provision of the amateur bylaw as detailed above, the student-athlete may represent the member school in a different sport.

GAINESVILLE — Whatever happens tonight between Florida and Alabama, the Gators don't plan to let it define their season. They've been there, done that with the Tide.
Florida coach Will Muschamp is adamant that no game is more important than another. And for now, everything is just fine with the Gators.
"We wanted to be 4-0 at this point, and that's where we are," Muschamp said.
The Gators were where they wanted to be last season when Florida and Alabama met in Tuscaloosa.
Florida and Alabama were in identical positions, undefeated SEC powers meeting in a nationally televised prime-time game. Florida was No. 7, Alabama No. 1.
And much like this season, Florida entered the game with many questions about how effective its offense could be against the better SEC teams. And Alabama was dominating on defense and answering questions about its quarterback and passing game, as it is this year with A.J. McCarron.
Alabama defeated Florida 31-6 last season, but the Gators didn't just lose the game that night: They lost their chemistry, their confidence, their season. And by the end, they had lost their coach, Urban Meyer.
The Alabama loss was the start of a three-game skid, and the Gators lost five of their last nine games.
"It was a big wake-up call," Florida junior safety Josh Evans said. "And it just makes you going into this game get ready and focused on what's going on and not worrying about everything else. … It's about Alabama this week and staying focused on them and nothing else."
Florida quarterback John Brantley remembers the game well. He was 16-of-31 for 202 yards and had two interceptions and no touchdowns. But he insists he hasn't spent much time dwelling on it this week, determined to keep the past behind him. But there are critical lessons to be learned, not only from that game but from the aftermath.
"There's a lot of things (learned)," Brantley said. "But you know, this is a whole new year."
So it should probably come as no surprise that those who endured the turmoil didn't want to relive last year's game this week.
"Basically we're not even really looking at last year," linebacker Jon Bostic said. "It's a whole new year. We really haven't even looked back at that. It's a new year, and everybody is excited about this year, bringing them to our house. We're on our turf now, so basically a lot of the guys are really excited and jacked up."
Though Florida has continued to publicly stick with its mantra of considering opponents nameless and faceless, Alabama's players aren't afraid to say they understand the magnitude of this game and what it means for both teams.
"Oh yeah, this is a very big game," said running back Trent Richardson, a Pensacola native.
And the Alabama players expect the Gators will be out to avenge last season.
"They have homefield advantage this year. They have a new coach and a new drive," receiver Marquis Maze said.
The Gators also have a new offense that will face its stiffest test yet, and a new coaching staff, the majority of it having never experienced this rivalry. The staff welcomes the challenge.
"I think that we have a lot of confidence in our own ability, and we realize that this will be quite the challenge," offensive coordinator Charlie Weis said. "We have a lot of respect for both Alabama's defense and their coaching staff. But we have a lot of confidence in ourselves, too."

The U.S. Senate just went through one of it's most embarrassing moments as it failed to pass any new laws on gun regulation following the deadly tragedy that was the Orlando shooting. The ball was dropped so far, that members from both sides of the aisle are working to make up for it by doing the unexpected.
To force House Republicans to pass some form of gun legislation, the House Democrats are being led by Rep. John Lewis D-Ga. in a sit-in in the middle of the chamber floor. Participants are growing to a number of more than 40 as time goes on and sharing their thoughts on the matter via social media.

Woods, 32, has won six consecutive tournament wins and has talked of completing the season unbeaten.
Singh, preparing for the Johnnie Walker Classic in India, told BBC Sport: "It's up to us to give ourselves a kick up the butt, play well and beat him.
"If you stay back and admire him you're never going to get up there."
Singh added: "That's what is happening with a lot of players."
Singh was the last player to hold the world number one mantle before it was recaptured by Woods in March 2005.
But the Fijian, now ranked 11, intends to set the example by winning the Johnnie Walker Classic, starting on Thursday, makes its Indian debut.
"He's playing incredible golf and there's nothing we can do but play better," Singh told BBC Radio 5 Live golf correspondent Iain Carter.
"My goal is to go out there and see if I can beat everybody.
"At the moment, Tiger is doing everything right and even the luck is going his way. When those things are going his way it's very hard to go up against him.
"But golf is a funny game, the ball is round and anything can happen."
Scotland's Colin Montgomerie has compared Woods to the Arsenal team that went through the 2003-04 Premier League season unbeaten and he believes it is possible for Woods to get finish this campaign with a 100% record.
"You talk about the famous Arsenal team that never lost a match but in golf terms so much can happen, so many outside influences can play a part in golf more so than any other sport," he said.
"We're talking a season without losing - and that means winning the grand slam which has never happened before - but who's going to back against him doing that?
"I truly believe that, for the first time, we have the best sportsman in the world playing our game.
"People talk about the next Tiger Woods but this is a one-off, this is a unique individual here and we're very lucky to be part of that era."
America's Byron Nelson won 11 consecutive tournaments in 1945 but Montgomerie insists Woods' achievements eclipse those of his late compatriot.
"You have to remember the competition in 1945, just after the war, was nothing like it is now," he said.
"This is a very, very stiff competition that Tiger Woods is beating week-in week-out.
"These guys from number two to number 10 in the world are no mugs, they are very good indeed and to be beating them on a regular basis by a lot is incredible to witness."
What are these?

Biotechnology company CoDa Therapeutics Inc says it has closed the second half of its initial round of venture capital funding after raising $US20 million ($A25.5 million).
The funding by United States-based Domain Associates and Australia-based GBS Ventures would allow clinical trials of its pioneering tissue repair drug to begin by the end of this year.
The first investment of $US10 million, made by Domain, was announced in October last year with negotiations on the second round concluded in mid-January.
Clinical trials of its wound care technology, Nexagon, would be run by New Zealand sister company, CodaTherapeutics (NZ).
Chief executive Brad Duft said the investment gave CoDa the funds needed to develop Nexagon over the next 2 1/2 years and meant the company could stop pursuing financing for a period and focus on running clinical trials.
CoDa would meet FDA (US Food and Drug Administration) officials in early March and Mr Duft was hopeful dosing patients in New Zealand could get underway in December.
Manufacture of the drug had already begun.
Four clinical sites in New Zealand are being considered for the trials - two in Auckland and one each in Wellington and Christchurch. One or two will ultimately be selected.
Nexagon was developed by Colin Green, professor of ophthalmology at the University of Auckland, in collaboration with David Becker at University College London.
The two scientists co-founded both CoDa. The US unit is spearheading commercial development while research remains in New Zealand and the UK.
Mr Duft said securing the venture capital investment was a significant achievement, given the string of failures with wound healing products to date. Many had tried and failed.
"Most drug development efforts to date have unsuccessfully tried to induce tissue growth in the face of the large genetic cascade that occurs when cells are damaged.
"We have taken a completely different approach which aims to shut down a single protein for just a few hours and then let the body take over and heal the wound naturally."
The first trial would be for acceleration of healing eyes following laser refractive surgery, where faster closing of the wound is needed to accelerate visual recovery and prevent a build up of scar tissue which can cause vision defects.
Preclinical studies showed Nexagon dramatically improved wound healing, with a single application reducing tissue death, swelling, inflammation and scarring; and accelerating time to wound closure. A second clinical trial will focus on skin wounds.
Dr Green said CoDa was committed to helping build biopharmaceutical capability in New Zealand. It had already hired two researchers and expected those to soon be joined by another.
Mr Duft first came to New Zealand in 2004 as a guest of the World Class New Zealand Program, run by NZ Trade and Enterprise (NZTE).
The plan was to commercialise Nexagon by 2010.

A MAN who drove "like a bullet out of a gun" as he led police on a 90mph car chase through Christchurch has been jailed.
Kane Salmon, of Kimberley Road in Southbourne, drove at breakneck speed on the wrong side of the road while being pursued by a marked police car.
He then hit another vehicle before motoring off once again, dumping his car in a ditch and attempting to evade officers on foot.
On Friday, the 25-year-old was sent to prison after a judge heard he had driven at more than twice the 40mph speed limit.
Jenny Rickman, prosecuting, said a single police officer was involved in the pursuit of Salmon's black Ford Focus – for which he does not have a licence – after spotting a car with three men inside it on the afternoon of Wednesday, April 16.
She said: "The vehicle was driving on the wrong side of the road, and cars travelling in that direction had to take avoiding action."
At one point, the car stopped near an alleyway in Edward Road, and the two male passengers made off on foot before Salmon continued his perilous getaway.
He then struck a car being driven by a Christchurch woman on her way to walk her dog with a friend. She was not hurt.
He admitted dangerous driving, using a motor vehicle on a road or public place without insurance, driving a car without a licence and failing to stop at the scene of an accident at Bournemouth Crown Court in May.
Mitigating, Kevin Hill said the defendant had bought the car and insured it, but had not passed a driving test.
"He is someone who is struggling with the challenges of life," he said.
"When I asked him how he felt about the victim in this case, he said he realised she must be 'tormented'."
Sentencing Salmon to four months behind bars, Judge Samuel Wiggs said he had "brought this matter wholly on himself".
Salmon was also disqualified from driving for two years, and must take an extended test when he applies for a licence.
On look-out for car after shooting
Police are believed to have been on the lookout for Salmon's dark-coloured Ford Focus following an alleged shooting in Jewell Road, Bournemouth.
In order to comply with his bail conditions before he returned to the court for sentence, Salmon was told not to enter the Townsend Estate, or make contact with a group of named individuals.
This group includes Ethan Stanley of Hamilton Road, who was charged with the attempted murder of 48-year-old Mark Williams.
The charge relates to an alleged incident at a property in Jewell Road just after midnight on April 16.
Stanley, 24, also faces charges of unlawfully and maliciously wounding Mr Williams' son, John, between March 15 and 18.

President | 22 Oct 2010
I have been meeting a lot of CMO's and CEO's, in the past year, I have been to 27 countries and visited about 35 plus offices- the thing which I find is the universal truth- it is complexities. Clients have more choices for media, more and more of data and information, digital is more, everything is more. And what we see as an over emerging need in the market place is basically someone to make sense of it all. Someone who can basically tell me what matters and what I should do about it, what is important, how should I respond
Though the nature of media and communications changes drastically every day, Andrew Swinand has proven his ability to stay five steps ahead of the competition on behalf of marketers inventing new solutions for the industry by reinventing his role within the advertising media business. These days, as president of global operations for worldwide media agency network Starcom MediaVest Group (SMG), he applies his passion for innovation across continents, product categories and cultures creating unprecedented service and results by reexamining the question of what an agency can and should do for its clients and for people. Swinand's SMG role adopted in August 2008 entails a focus on building stronger connection infrastructures that continue to advance the company's presence within critical growth markets across the globe. Specifically, Swinand works with the network's regional CEOs across Asia-Pacific, Latin America and Europe/Middle East/Africa to fortify SMG offerings and strengthen its client proposition, leveraging assets and building on the strong momentum of these regions.
Along with regional management responsibilities, his role includes the creation of new client-facing service models across the network and the expansion of its successful technology practice. Further, he is charged with working alongside SMG Global CEO Laura Desmond to align and position the network to take advantage of the digital resources that the Publicis Groupe media brands now have access to as part of the recently launched VivaKi operating model including its Talent Operation and digital Nerve Center resources.
Most recently, Swinand was at Denuo, the media futures consultancy within Publicis Groupe. Prior to his role at Denuo, he was a president at Starcom Worldwide, where he helped secure the Samsung business as well as build a global technology practice. He was also responsible for developing proprietary accountability metrics to measure Return-on-Objective (ROO) across all client investments, supported by Starcom's extensive media research team, and he pioneered the service models Starcom delivers to Sun Microsystems and Oracle. Swinand will continue to oversee the Nintendo business across Starcom Worldwide and Leo Burnett.
Q. You have called it the human experience network. Why 'network'?
The thing that we have done is made investments to basically simplify human understanding. The one thing that is to be talked about is the money and we have actually created an online panel. It is there in India as well as Russia, China, US, Mexico and UK and the idea behind it is we talked about it as a attention response network where we actually have people as the part of the paid community who we chose based on their online usage and they basically work with us to test concepts and we can talk about products, advertising concepts, ideas with them. The idea is basically to have a community where they allow us to sense what is going on in the marketplace and we respond to it directly. So I think when we talk about human experience network it's twofold. First is how do we have the ability for the people to be closer to the human experience to understand what is going on; Second is the component of social listening. We basically allow our planners to have access to social listening to see what the key trends are within the product or within the market of a particular category. Also we created an 'Itunes' of insights; we created a human experience portal and within that portal we actually have a network of human experience strategists who actually are publishing key trends, key insights- some within the company some of them externally amongst key demographics, key targets, key categories, key products; and again the whole idea is how do we simplify human understanding for human experience closer to our planning and product so that we have advertising for our clients which is more relevant more effective and more impactful.
Q. Can you give us examples of what may have come across as work for other titles?
Sure, the best example I think is the work we had done for Samsung. Samsung is obviously a huge global firm. We always are looking for ways to differentiate our products, the TV space is a clutter. But we actually found the new daypart and we call it the day after the night before. What they were saying is that the idea of digital photography in taking pictures with your mobile phones is quite huge; there is a whole daypart where we actually found that people are spending 3 to 5 hours on Saturdays and Sundays going out andThursdays and Fridays posting photographs, sharing them, tagging them, talking about them and what we found was that day after the night before was actually a huge daypart where one actually utilizing mobile phones and mobile phone images. And what we found was we could actually create them into media vendors- the yahoos of the world and facebooks. What mattered was how we could basically incorporate product Samsung into this environment and on that daypart.
And again I think what we are able to do with clients such as Diageo is interesting because one of the things everyone talks about is social media but there are very few applications for it. The reason I think this is so because it is a big amorphous bubble. Here I think the specific client insights, the specific usage that was valid to the target and basically allowed to incorporate the product was a way to create point of difference.
Q. Mike is active in India, China, Russia, the US and Mexico. Even in the US Otherwise it would have been only in the markets that you had once identified as your growth markets? Has that helped in the last year and a half?
Most definitely. From the business standpoint of SMG, we are having a great year, we are growing globally. Our global business is strong. I can't get into exact numbers but we have had a double digit growth and we have had a great year. Our digital product is approaching a quarter of our total revenues we have done great job in terms of investing in digital, growing digital, we have won awards for digital products and we have really invested in research and a lot of differentiation , we talked about our access on emerging markets. We have had great success in terms of growing the emerging markets, we continue dominate in Russia, Middle East and China this year picked up new businesses.
Q. About Mike again, did you have to educate your clients on what you are doing with this whole HEN way forward?
You know when we talk about Human Experience we kind of have this simplified purpose; we talk about simplified human understanding to deliver meaningful brand experiences in real time. When we are talking about clients we really see there are three components. The first of that being simplicity. I have been meeting a lot of CMO's and CEO's, in the past year, I have been to 27 countries and visited about 35 plus offices- the thing which I find is the universal truth- it is complexities. Clients have more choices for media, more and more of data and information, digital is more, everything is more. And what we see as an over emerging need in the market place is basically someone to make sense of it all. Someone who can basically tell me what matters and what I should do about it, what is important, how should I respond. So the first component is simplified human understanding and I think the Mike and human experience portal all a play into that.
Q. These are all the various things you are doing to put together your HEN?
It is simplified human understanding is where it starts and the second thing is to deliver meaningful brand experiences. The other key point of emphasis is how we measure and optimize our campaigns and our work based on relevance as meaning. So I think that if you look at media as a whole, the industry was basically built on efficiency, the bigger and the cheaper. My belief is while that was great to see and basically drove consolidation, we are now approaching points of diminishing returns. If you look at SMG we are number 2 globally and you know it is coming down to the top 4 players, dividing market shares, I think something like 89 per cent of all media. Point being- we have consolidated, what I think the next phase of our industry is going to be is all about relevance and meaning and how we will use all of that behavioral data how we use and understand human experience to increase the relevance and the effectiveness of advertising as opposed to just what can get the cheaper option. I think cheaper is a good thing but it has a point of diminishing return. I think what we are seeing more and more is how do we simplify human understanding, use that behavioral data to create and understand who are the best prospects, who are the best targets and also then how to send information; to understand what is relevant to them and what is important to them and how to use it to prove our messaging. We have been investing in actual dashboards to track and measure and help us understand how relevant advertising is to consumers so we can optimise based on that context. The last piece is 'real time'. The world is getting cluttered, we have Samsung in 76 markets, we have invested in Yammer and other work portals to help link our global network so that we can share ideas faster. It certainly applies to make the world smaller and have better real time information better real time understanding to allow us to basically improve. We talk about Mike and the human experience portal, how does real time information and inspiration for our planners help. Basically if we have an award winning work in India or another market, how do we share that across the network? In the past a lot of the networks were basically individual countries, much more of a lose confederacy as opposed to unified republic. We are working to become a more unified republic so that we can share a benefactor.
Q. It has been what 6 -7 months since this has been in place?
About a year, we have been working on it for a year and its really last 6 - 7 months that we actually started rolling our products for it.
Q. Does it help in things like new business wins?
The fact that we are growing it should be an indicative of a yes. The thing I found is what we tell our clients, how would you like the work be simplified? How would you like your advertising to be more meaningful and relevant? How would you like your information you are putting feature in real time? There is a very few people who would say no.
Q. You said you have had a double digit growth globally. Where did India stand what was India�s contribution like?
For India we have had a good year. I think we have work to do in terms of accelerating our growth here. I feel for India we are on the cusp of greatness. Actually I am going to be in India 3-4 times by the end of the year. We want to really focus on India in terms of driving the Human Experience and accelerating our growth.
Q. Apart from HEN what are the other areas you want to focus on in the India operations?
I think from the simplicity standpoint there are a lot of best practices in terms of process. I think our market here in India is a market which is basically maturing. I remember the first time I came to Delhi 8 - 9 years ago; it was a small road from the airport, I took the highway when I got here, no traffic till my hotel. I think that analogy applies to our business here and I think we want to bring a lot of atomization of technology here; we want to simplify work processes and basically continue to push and advance the operations to help our clients get better work faster.
Q. Last year Mediavest as a brand became active in India. How has that contributed?
Mediavest has actually done great for us. Last we spoke of Mediavest now in 33 markets; Mediavest is the seventh largest global brand in terms of media. If you look at Mediavest globally it has gone great guns for us. We have done well with it in India so mediavest as a brand continues to thrive. For Starcom Mediavest Group globally, it has been a strong second brand.
Q. Any other brands that you are thinking of bringing in India soon. I think you have enough of media assets but in terms of diversified services?
India has long been a leader in diversified services. We have been exporting more than importing in terms of diversified services.
Q. Does it help to have so many different units to look after everything in that much of a specialized manner? Does that help?
For diversified services I think you need to have specialists for certain areas. If you look at expands in rural marketing in emerging markets I believe it is a special area. If you take markets like India or China, where you don't have the footprint, you need a unique approach. My feeling is that to have an Expanse or a Navia which allows us to get into these markets through theatre, through out of home, through distribution if necessary, because the traditional media approach is not as effective. So I do believe it needs a special skill set.
Q. Last year Vivaki got a lot of importance, IMX got renamed; Vivaki as an umbrella became a little more prominent and also Mr. Shastri was appointed as the country chair for that. Now does a development like that have any bearing on something like media assets?
Huge. Vivaki is the future for Publicis Group and Starcom Mediavest Group. In some respects when I talked earlier about our ability to focus on human experience, what allows us do that is the creation of Vivaki. Through Vivaki by combining ZenithOptimedia, Starcom MediaVest Group and Digitas buying it makes us number 1 or number 2 in almost every market that we are in. So, it creates scale unprecedented. It allows us to basically sit down with the clients and say you are going to get the best rates bar none. So you know for me Vivaki as a strategic initiative, all of our back office, finance, technology and buying, all of those big scale operations become more efficient. Allowing us to pass on more savings to clients, allowing us to do it better faster and cheaper way, which allows Starcom Mediavest to focus on human experience, on insights, on strategy, on relevance and meaning. Vivaki, I think is what really allows us to be competitive in all the markets by continuing to be efficient which allows one to invest money for clients to be more effective.
Q. Not just Vivaki or Publicis Group but every other group is doing a lot of stuff in market such as India. OMD has grown quite well, PHD is expected to launch soon, GroupM has consolidated its operations very well and so has IPG group whether it is Lintas or Lodestar UM. In fact Lodestar Um just got the Coke business with them. Competition is also very active and very awake in India and of course I am more aware about India I don�t know in how many other markets you are getting the same problems but while it is good for competition to be there, more the merrier and all of that. Obviously it brings a challenge on to whatever your growth targets have been? What is the kind of challenge it has posed?
I mean for us with anything we are going to hit competitive pressures but my feeling is that we are still seeing a lot of consolidation where the weaker players fall out. The thing is, I am not going to name individual brands but if you start looking at number 7 no. 8 brands and some of the global brands or some of the smaller local players. I think their reason to exist starts to fall away. In the last few years, you have seen global consolidation a lot of debate on brands, considering pick up market share. Mars, Wrigley consolidating with us, Cadbury consolidating with us, you are going to see more and more of that. I still think there is a lot of global consolidation going on which basically drives growth. The other thing which we are seeing is clients are basically get into diversified services digital, we see markets, if you think about out of home. I still see there is a lot of runway for growth but it is redefining according to what that market place is. You are going to see two things, one, you will see smaller players fall away and two, broader services in more experiential marketing.
Q. Slowdown must have impacted whatever targets you may have tried to reach out in 2009. Did you redo them when 2010 happened, are things looking good after that?
Definitely, as I said, we have had a great year in terms of growth. 2010 would be the best year SMG has ever had.
Q. From an India viewpoint?
Best year we have ever had across the board.
Q. But in India you have not had any big win in 2010?
We have had a lot of organic growth.
Q. You spoke about how clients are consolidating their businesses. But clients are also calling for a lot of pitches, it may be because of the slowdown. 2009 I think it showed the way to everyone or it was an excuse of sorts. But we saw a lot of pitches, India alone had some 3000 crore worth pitches- if you include the Unilever pitch. Is that good?
You know what I think 2009 was financial crisis, 2010 was the innovation crisis. A lot of people kept their heads down, looking at the numbers in 2009, once they put their heads up and looked at the product and basically said- it can get better ...
Q. There have been a lot of conversations about procurement not that procurement is new to media service brands but it is just that since 2009 to now there is a lot of harping on procurement, unlike once upon a time when the marketing functions could decide all of the agency at its pitch. Now probably 80 per cent control of it is procurement. Do media agencies also have a procurement division of their own?
We have actually done work in other markets about procurement people. I will tell you the honest truth it is not the best practice.
Q. You are saying it from the client's side not the best practice to put everything on procurement...?
From an agencies standpoint or from a client's standpoint. I think at the end of the day procurement plays a valuable role in terms of cost comparison but I think you know as a client you want to own the product you buy. What we have seen is clients who have gone the pure procurement way, they pay for it. And I think if you want to race to the bottom you can quickly find it whereas I think these clients involve procurement and make sure that they are at a competitive price to make sure they are getting value. The clients also know that you get what you pay for in terms of people, you get what you pay for in terms of teams. The conversation which I have with clients is that you can buy small numbers of junior talent for not a lot of money but is that really going to give you differentiated product. So I can't speak of India but on a global basis and actually it depends basically on that. There is a fair number of pitches in the developed markets where clients buy cheap and are now they are saying- you know what I need quality and I am still going to have procurement involved. But you know I am not getting the quality products I need.
Q. So procurement pressures are manageable?
I don't see them as an issue
Q. How it would it impact agency relationships with media supplier and vendor relations. Because I remember in a recent interview that was in Valencia a few clients were talking about how they are concerned that agencies are not completely transparent with clients when it comes to their vendor relationship. Recently, three four months back a very renowned respectable client had called for a pitch with some really bizarre terms one of which was we will not pay you commission and you take it from the channel guys and you give it to us. So that was one of the clauses of that overall pitch. So media vendor and media agency relationship over the years it appears to have deteriorated rather than becoming partners, if that is the concern clients are talking about which they are?
You know I think interestingly enough what I see is- we are having deeper relationships with the partners. We have totally transparent relationships with our clients; I think within that when I think of media vendors; If clients want transparency from their agency it is not hard to get. It is based on a structure of every relationship and that is what I see us having. If you look at the Publicis Group, we have done deep deals with Google we have done deep deals with other partners where we are actually sharing more and more assets and research information. So I don't see the core issue so much as being relationships are bad with media vendors. What I feel is the relationship is evolving and what I feel is that the relationship is evolving more, and more currency put on knowledge , value , insights , research, systems and technology. Basically the relationship is growing and morphing into closer partnership.
Q. Everybody talks about the digital growth everybody talks about mobile the mass medium. Mobile as a mass medium hasn�t even taken off internationally. People are still figuring when will the day of the mobile come we still talk about it though. Are you really expecting mobile to take off and why hasn�t it taken off yet?
I have actually long been of the opinion that it is early on mobile. I think a lot of the issue is what is invasive and what is interactive and the thing I think is that for a lot of markets where there is a lot of mobile phone usage its phone, its text. Whenever you get an advertising text it is annoying so the thing is I think people say that there is huge audience on mobile why can't there be advertising but I don't think the environment exists and therefore I think it is early. I think that as you see 4G technology as you see more mobile apps, as you see more mobile interaction, you are going to see more mobile advertising. We at the Vivaki level we have been doing a lot in terms of keeping our finger on mobile. Is mobile is one of my top 5 priorities? No. I think there is much more going on in terms of rich media, in terms of you know you think about digital, in environment in looking at apps and looking at tablets. I think those environments are a lot richer.
Q. Do you think the newer forms of technology, they have created a lot of interest but do you think people are already thinking on how an iPad can be used for communication exercises?
I don't think, I know they are
Q. People in the US are now spending money on applications, they are talking about augmented reality, India has got no clue about augmented reality?
But even within the US market there is not a huge amount of money there, People are interacting with apps, that is the habit are being formed but advertising is still lagging behind
Q. Another area in digital is social media now it starts and ends with Facebook and some bit of Twitter. Isnt it?
I have a different view on social media I think the thing which is interesting is again people are all excited about it is because of its huge audience. Thing for me on social is that I don't think it will ever be huge because by its very nature it is not paid. I think for certain brands there is opportunity to create ideas that have social relevance. And I think the thing within that as well is tied back to our whole focus on Human Experience when you can make your brand relevant to the human experience it has social value and creates currency. I think that the interesting thing is people say I have to be in the social media because social is big and they don't have a reason to exist otherwise. You know again the starting point needs to be how does my brand interact and how does it create relevance within the human experience and social is a component of that
Q. How many of Starcom clients have upped their spent in digital?
Every single one of them from 0 to 2 per cent, from 5 per cent to 8 per cent or from 7 per cent to 12 per cent. Every single one of them in the past 6-12 months.
Q. In digital there are things like DTH which is digital television or in radio there is satellite radio, internet radio, in print we are talking about epaper. There is digital version of traditional media so when the advertiser engages with the digital version of traditional media where is his budget getting allocated is it in digital or is it in traditional ?
I don't think believe that there is such thing as digital or traditional. I think everything is digital. You know it is interesting that the cable TV goes through the same cable, we have Samsung as a client, all Samsung's TV's now basically act as computers, they work as computers, you have YouTube in the TV. We need to start thinking that way. Amazon in the US sold more ebooks last month than they did regular books. Everything is digital.
Q. On Starcom you have already explained to me that focus on India would be so much that we will see you come here 3 or 4 times this year in the rest of four months left. Also you have said from the HEN point of view there is a lot you are clear that you are going to focus in India and the three points that you had mentioned. Apart from that what are some of the other things that we can expect from you in India? What are some of the new initiatives?
That is it. Honestly I think when you talk about human experience, simplicity, meaningful relevant communication, real time technology and investment those are huge buckets, you know you add digital to that and I am done. If I can do those four things that is going to lead to growth that is going to lead to client satisfaction that is going to lead to success.
Q. Do you do a comparison with other media agencies and where they stand in terms of their market share?
Of course everyone looks at that but while I am aware I don't think we have ever nor do I think we should start benchmarking ourselves versus the competition. I feel like more of the things at SMG is unique in leading versus following. We have been doing great with the idea of human experience because we want to lead not because we saw other people doing something.
Q. Two years and one month since you have been in this role. How are you finding it especially because it was a special role and not something which system already had?
It has its pros and cons. I love global business, I love the experience, I love the learning, I feel like I can see it gaining more impact. I see that our network has become much more cohesive, much more consistent and is evolving much more rapidly. Travelling and being away from my family kills.

The author of Six Weeks to OMG says carbs from any form—from chips to carrots—are equal. (Photo by Bryan McCay)
Although it was originally released in the UK, the weight-loss book Six Weeks to OMG: Get Skinnier Than All Your Friends is making waves worldwide. That's most likely due to the "unconventional" diet tips including taking a cool bath and skipping breakfast (something you'd never see happen at the FITNESS offices!) to hypothetically increase metabolism. The author, a celebrity trainer who wrote the book using a pseudonym, also suggests blowing balloons to work your ab muscles in a different way.
Many of us have been found guilty of certain diet crimes while trying to lose weight. But some of the information in this book—like the author's claim that it doesn't matter if you get your carbohydrates from broccoli or a can of soda—have us thinking "OMG!" Critics have also slammed the book for targeting teenage girls, potentially putting them at risk for a dangerous weight-loss competition with their pals (see the subtitle).
Some aspects of the plan dietitians might agree with, like the suggestions to watch your sugar intake and drink black coffee, in moderation. Yet many Six Weeks tactics seem to be more of a "quick fix" than a sustainable health program.
Now tell us: What's the wildest diet you've tried? And what does a healthy, sustainable diet look like for you?

Welcome to the State Office of Rural Health Update
The mission of the Office of Rural Health is to ensure access to health care services in rural Kansas by linking communities with state and federal resources and helping them support sustainable health care delivery systems.
Welcome to the State Office of Rural Health Update
State Office of Rural Health Grants
News Article November 2010 Update
Please welcome Sara Roberts, Director, Office of Rural Health
Hays Medical Center Named in Modern Healthcare´s Best Places to Work
The Best Companies Group on behalf of Modern Healthcare surveyed over two hundred organizations and companies to determine who could be listed in the nation as a Best Place to Work. Employees were asked to complete two in-depth surveys for the award program. The designation recognizes those workplaces that support employees at an optimum level to provide their patients with the best care and services. Hays Medical Center in Hays, Kansas has made the list two years in a row.
The Office of Rural Health oversees three federal grant programs: the State Office of Rural Health program, the Rural Hospital Flexibility Grant (FLEX) program and the Small Hospital Improvement Program (SHIP). These grant programs help support community based projects, innovative network programs, provider training and education and broad-based collaborative initiatives for health care in rural Kansas.
The Small Hospital Improvement Program (SHIP) progress reports submitted shows some interesting trends. Most of the hospitals spent their funds on (Accountable Care Organizations) computer software, hardware, education and training for electronic health record and QI/PI program.
VBP (Value-based Purchasing) software.
PPS purchases were limited and reflected the need for chargemaster update coding raining and preparation for new compliance standards.
Our featured partner in this update is Debbie Nickels, RN, BSN and Kansas TRAIN Administrator with the Bureau of Community Health Systems. Debbie first became interested in public health when she was a nursing student at Fort Hays State University and did a practicum with Shawnee County Health Agency. She is passionate about public health and very committed to its core mission of assessment, policy development and assurance. Collaboration principles are put into practice every day with local, state, and federal partners. One of the exciting things happening is that Kansas will be working towards becoming accredited through the Public Health Accreditation Board sometime in 2011.
Debbie is the driving engine for KS-TRAIN, the state's public health and safety learning management system. She enjoys improving workforce competency by providing educational opportunities. Workforce education is something increasingly important due to stricter quality and reporting standards and made more difficult by the worsening economy. A recent TRAIN data study shows average total cost savings of a minimum of $326 per participant for taking a course online versus a live course. In addition to the cost savings, employees have no travel and no lost productivity time away from work. She believes that by bringing about more training awareness and opportunities through TRAIN we can assure access to quality services in rural Kansas. As a message to remember Debbie had this to say, "Just because it hasn't happened to you doesn't mean it won't, whether it is H1N1, hypertension, diabetes, flooding, or something else. It is our responsibility to not become complacent about the public's health for our families and communities."
Please check out KS-TRAIN for great educational opportunities!

This Just In: Taylor Momsen Is Movin' on up to Chelsea
This Just In: Taylor Momsen Is Movin' on up to Chelsea
By virtue of the success of Gossip Girl, Taylor Momsen has decided to invest in some shiny new digs. According to a Think PR rep, the 14-year-old actress dished about her move while chatting with a stylist at the firm's upfronts lounge. She'll soon be ditching her closet-sized apartment in Tribeca in favor of a "huge apartment — like a house!" in Chelsea. Good thing her costars Chace Crawford and Ed Westwick live in the neighborhood; she'll feel right at home! Apparently Momsen's obsession with the color purple runs deep, so deep that she plans to deck out her new crib entirely in purple; she even made a point to take home Purple Fashionation speakers for her iPod to match her new room. I'm sure Momsen's Chelsea digs will be nice, but I think I'd prefer to live in little Jenny Humphrey's Brooklyn loft with its awesome interior sliding garage door . . .

No winners here!
A source tells Us Weekly that Anne Hathaway, 28, and James Franco grew to "hate each other" as they rehearsed to host the Oscars Feb. 27.
"She had to provide all the energy -- he was just phoning it in," says a second insider. ("James seemed in his own little world," during the Oscar telecast, says another source. "Producers were pissed.")
In fact, as UsMagazine.com reported Monday, after the awards, Franco, 32, skipped his own party at L.A.'s The Writer's Room.
"He went immediately back to NYC because he was pissed about how the show went," adds a third source.
Franco's rep responds, "This is absolutely not true," while Hathaway's rep says, "Anne had a wonderful experience with him."
Still, fans should expect a new MC in 2012. Insiders say both Hugh Jackman and Billy Crystal want the gig again.

Seasiders target Claus
By Simon Fudge
Last Updated: 01/01/70 1:00am
Blackpool have confirmed that Coventry City midfielder Claus Jorgensen is a target.
Blackpool manager Simon Grayson has confirmed that Coventry City midfielder Claus Jorgensen is a transfer target for the League One club.
The Seasiders, boosted by major financial investment from Latvian Valery Belokon this summer, have already raided The Sky Blues to sign striker Andy Morrell.
Grayson has now turned his attentions to Faroe Islands international Jorgensen, who has been on Coventry's transfer list after falling down the pecking order at The Ricoh Arena.
"We are being linked with quite a few players at the moment and yes, Claus is one," Grayson told the Blackpool Gazette.
"He is a player I played with at Bradford during my time there and he would be a good addition to the squad, as would be the two or three others we are trying to get at the moment.
"It's really a case of wait and see and we will keep going right up to the transfer deadline next Thursday night (August 31) and see where we are with stuff then.
"We are just keeping our options open, and maybe the players are as well."
Another midfielder that the Bloomfield Road club are running the rule over is former Borussia Dortmund man Vladimir But.
The Russian international playing in Blackpool's reserves recently and brings a wealth of playing experience with him.
Currently with Russian Premier League side Shinnik Yaroslavl, the 29-year-old is keen on a move to English football, but his wage demands are thought to be a possible stumbling block towards completing a deal at Bloomfield Road.

Sam Claflin Thanks His 'Hunger Games' Family for Trusting Him Following the Wrap of Filming
Sam Claflin has gone and made it apparent that, in addition to being one of the most adorably hunky actors in Hollywood, he's a very sweet guy who really appreciates the people who've helped make his career happen.
Oh, and filming on The Hunger Games: Mockingjay – Part 1 has officially wrapped.
Posted early Saturday morning and following what we're assuming was his last day filming, Sam sent a message to his entire Hunger Games family that'll make you go Awwwwwwwww.
(1/3) I just want/need to express my many thanks to everyone (cast, crew & fans) who have worked so hard for so long to make…
— Sam Claflin (@samclaflin) June 21, 2014
(2/3) The Hunger Games experience what it is. But for also trusting me enough to let me be part of it. I feel privileged, honoured and so…
— Sam Claflin (@samclaflin) June 21, 2014
(3/3) very lucky to have shared this opportunity with so many passionate & talented people. #dreamjob @TheHungerGames @lionsgatemovies x
— Sam Claflin (@samclaflin) June 21, 2014
The Twitter messages came shortly after Director Francis Lawrence announced the wrap of Mockingjay's first installment. That means we're one step closer to closing the book (and getting a trailer) for the only YA film franchise to even come close to Harry Potter or Twilight at the box office.
How about it friends? Are you as excited for the two-part finale as we are?
Don't forget to set those reminders though, because The Hunger Games: Mockingjay – Part 1 brings its rebellion to theaters on November 21st with Part 2 following on November 20th, 2105.
