The Innovation Mentality
Six Strategies to Disrupt the Status Quo and Reinvent the Way We Work
Available for Pre-Order at Amazon. Launch Date: February 14th, 2017
The Innovation Mentality by Glenn Llopis reveals the riveting truths behind the alarming leadership identity crisis at Fortune 500 companies that is enabling today's dysfunctional, tension-fueled workplaces – where we are solving for the wrong opportunities, widening productivity gaps, weakening the potential of our increasingly diverse and multigenerational workforce, and dismantling the evolution of business growth as we simultaneously elevate the risk profile of the global economy. Simply put, leadership has failed us.
Since business today is quickly becoming less about the business defining the individual and more about the individual defining the business – a new leadership mindset must just as quickly emerge to renew and reinvent the ways we work. This will require leaders to be more vulnerable and intimate with employees who have lost trust in and respect for their leaders and have grown frustrated with how companies are mismanaging opportunities and failing to stay ahead of today's fast-changing marketplace. By not embracing, valuing and leveraging the required intellectual capital and know-how that lies within the diversity of thought in their workforce, leaders are putting their business models and brand value propositions at great risk.
The Innovation Mentality is a transformational journey; an awakening and urgent call-to-action that will guide readers in how to immediately apply evolutionary thinking, strengthen their wisdom, achieve significance and embolden business models. Reinvention must become a constant in the workplace and marketplace to create and sustain real competitive advantage. The Innovation Mentality shows leaders how to reclaim their identity in order to most effectively influence the evolution of their companies – by finding strength in vulnerability; by seeing and seizing opportunities previously unseen; by breaking free from the one-size-fits-all templates of old that no longer carry the wisdom to help their business models, brands and employees evolve free from the fear of change.> Pre-Order Now from Barnes & Noble

Preparing U.S. Leadership for the Seismic Cultural Demographic Shift
Returning America's Corporations to New Growth and Innovation Greatness
by Glenn Llopis
Hispanics along with African Americans and Asian Pacific Islanders surpassed one third of the U.S. population in 2010. As their numbers continue to rise, they are on track to reach 54% of the population by 2050 - making them the minority-majority. Every day, Fortune 500 companies and leaders across all functional areas and departments are unknowingly creating tension points with their employees, clients and consumers. Why? Because they lack the cultural know-how to most authentically engage with them - and this is what's making it so difficult to capture favorable and sustainable ROI.
The days of simply implementing a traditional diversity strategy and calling it a day are over. So is the current employee resource group model with its business case that has historically been mismanaged, misunderstood and not properly defined. As a result, good intentions have only created more internal employee fragmentation (silos), rather than integration and a deep understanding of the benefits that diverse thought can bring to strengthen business intelligence and know-how. Efforts to date have proven to be inconsistent and insufficient to say the least. Leveraging the cultural demographic shift calls for a business model and full-scale strategy that fully prepares an organization to leverage today's reality of a rapidly growing diverse workforce and diverse consumer segments - and the previously unseen workplace and marketplace opportunities for innovation, economic growth, and global competitiveness associated with them. At its core, the cultural demographic shift is about change management and the influence it has on corporate growth and business models.
Women Leaders Must Dive In, Not Just Lean In
The Six Fundamental Truths of the Dive-In Principle
by Glenn Llopis
The dive-in principle is not about being overly aggressive or focused on self-promotion. It's more the opposite. Diving in is when you know that each decision you make towards being your most authentic self can potentially be that defining moment in your career that propels you forward as you reach for success and significance. Diving in is about trusting yourself enough and making that conscious choice to enable your most natural skills and characteristics to build momentum for your personal brand.
Mastery of the dive-in principle helps you avoid the traps of workplace politics, complacency and fear – as you learn to channel your awareness, instincts and natural capabilities to most effectively see,sow, grow and share the opportunities before you. The best women leaders are opportunity experts who take action to seize the opportunities that are right in front of them. Unfortunately, opportunities seen are not always sown because we spend too much time doubting ourselves, searching for validation and/or lack the confidence to be accountable – thus losing momentum and valuable time in the process.
Why a Personal Employee Brand Will Save Your Career – And Your Workplace
by Glenn Llopis
Because we live in today's digitally connected age, we are constantly saturated with news and information across broadcast, print, and social media outlets. If you aren't leading the conversation for your industry, then someone else is. More importantly, from a brand reputation perspective, if you do not proactively and consistently participate in key conversations and ultimately control your brand's value proposition and influence in the media, then you run the risk of a competitor beating you to the punch, being viewed as the subject matter expert and capturing potential market share.
Learn how developing your organization's story will help garner develop your organization as a thought leader, that identifies trends, common themes and patterns within a particular industry or functional area of expertise to help others identify new opportunities or solutions for growth. In today's business world, the most relevant leaders are starting the conversations – and benefiting both individuals and corporations alike. Develop your company's story so that it can be leveraged as a platform to establish itself and its executives as thought leaders in your industry.
Awakening the Latino Factor
Our Hidden Power to Earn Success and Transform America
by Glenn Llopis
Awakening the Latino Factor ebook is a call to action for Hispanics in the U.S. explains author Glenn Llopis, who also writes for Forbes, the Harvard Business Review, and the Huffington Post. "It's about how we can all succeed in the United States and what Hispanics are capable of accomplishing when motivated to take responsibility and join in the nation-building and restoration that the country so desperately needs. It's time for U.S. Hispanics to fulfill its role as the nation's most valuable untapped resource."
Hispanics represent 16% of the United States population and that number is projected to reach 30% by 2050. That makes Hispanics the country's largest economic development engine for reclaiming America's global competitiveness. As the majority-minority in this country since 2008, the economic current of America runs directly through the Hispanic community. Adds Llopis, "Hispanics are the fastest growing ethnic group, the fastest growing economic and political bloc poised to revive and renew America out of its recent economic struggles."
Awakening the Latino Factor ebook also features special bonus content including Hispanic strategy and marketing blogs, online training products and management tools & resources
The Six Reasons Why Hispanic Leadership will Save America's Corporations
by Glenn Llopis
Hispanics represent the majority-minority in the United States, and their growing strength as professionals is changing America's corporations. As companies seek to broaden their Hispanic market reach, the need to unleash the untapped talent of Hispanic professionals and their authentic leadership is at an all-time high.America's corporations require a new enlightened form of leadership that will give Hispanic professionals greater purpose, put a premium on sustainable innovation, and maintain an ethical approach to performance. In this eBook, The Six Reasons Why Hispanic Leadership will Save America's Corporations, author Glenn Llopis, reveals why Hispanic professionals have the unique opportunity to assume leadership roles in today's new economy that is being shaped by a fiercely competitive global market. You will learn why Hispanic leadership will redefine corporate leadership, and why Hispanic leadership will propel workplace innovation to better serve the increasingly diverse marketplace. In sum, effective Hispanic leadership is both a business and societal imperative for America to grow and prosper.
The Immigrant Perspective on Business Leadership
The workplace and business landscape has changed, becoming rapidly more diverse and global, and American business leadership is not moving fast enough to catch up. In fact, leadership in America's corporations is losing its impact and influence to perform in this changing terrain. As a result, U.S. businesses risk falling further behind in marketplaces around the world. Many of the dimensions of the changing competitive landscape are well known – the varying cost of labor, the shift of manufacturing overseas, the exploding economies of the BRIC (Brazil, Russia, India and China) countries – but what is less well understood is the role that diversity plays in both the marketplace and in the competitive advantages BRIC companies and others enjoy. It is not enough to meet the numbers in terms of workforce diversity and to pursue ethnic product differentiation, as many U. S. companies have done. Diversity – more broadly defined and better understood in the U. S. as the immigrant perspective – holds the keys to unlocking business growth and innovation in the next decade and beyond. Companies that develop an immigrant perspective will dominate their marketplaces in the years to come.

Client-centered strategy that may decrease ambivalence in behavior performance with attention intervention (infant safety) on: a) breastfeeding self-efficacy, b) intended length of breastfeeding, and c) duration of breastfeeding.
Other Name: Counseling
Detailed Description:
The incidence of asthma, the most common serious chronic inflammatory disease among children, is rising each year. Therefore nursing interventions aimed at promoting infant immunity and mitigating factors to which the infant may be exposed may reduce the complications of this chronic illness. Breastfeeding is an ideal initial prevention strategy that strengthens the infant's immune system. In addition, the identification of biomarkers that reflect infant immune response sets the stage for the evaluation of nursing interventions targeted to decrease the impact of this chronic inflammatory disease. Although more mothers currently initiate breastfeeding, they do not sustain breastfeeding for the recommended 6 to 12 months. In general, Native American mothers' breastfeed for a shorter period of time and mothers in rural setting have fewer resources to support breastfeeding.

The city's high cost of severance: Recruiting tool or waste of tax dollars?
When Grand Junction Police Chief Bill Gardner resigned abruptly last month, he took with him pictures of rafting the Grand Canyon and other memorabilia, and assurances that he will receive three months' pay, health insurance through the end of the year and car and cell phone allowances.
In terms of employees who have remained on the city's payroll after resigning, he's not alone.
The city has doled out nearly $270,000 in severance pay and benefits to four administrators who left their jobs in the last three years.
That sort of financial cushion helps draw top-quality employees, say city leaders and the International City/County Management Association. And it provides security for a class of workers who can be terminated at any time for no reason.
Government watchdog groups and others, on the other hand, claim severance pay constitutes a questionable use of taxpayer money and places public employees in a class above private-sector workers, many of whom receive far less or nothing if they find themselves out of work.
"It reminds me very much of the golden parachutes that CEOs have," said Jon Caldara, president of the Independence Institute, the Golden-based think tank. "We all get very upset when a CEO gets a massive amount of severance pay, but that's private companies, and that's between their stockholders and the company. This is (taxpayer) money."
Through a series of interviews and submissions of Colorado Open Records Act requests, The Daily Sentinel learned the city of Grand Junction has been less restrictive in issuing severance pay than other local governments. Although most give severance pay only to their top administrators, and only when they are fired, Grand Junction paid Gardner, city managers Kelly Arnold and David Varley and Interim Community Development Director Sheryl Trent after they left. None was terminated; all resigned.
One of them, Arnold, was given six months' pay as part of an agreement that he would work for the city as a consultant. Arnold, however, never provided consulting services.
There is no state or federal law that requires a public or private employer to pay severance pay. In fact, Colorado legislators in the 1990s enacted a law expressly intended to limit public employee severance pay. But the law exempted large groups of public workers, including city and county employees.
The Fair Labor Standards Act requires employers to pay employees who have been terminated their regular wages through their last day at work and for any time they've accrued. That normally includes unused vacation time.
Betty Bechtel, a Grand Junction attorney who represents public and private employers and has practiced labor law for 30 years, said there could be an array of reasons why an employer would offer post-employment compensation to an employee. The most common include pay for employees laid off through no fault of their own or for employees who are terminated and compensated to negate the possibility of them filing a lawsuit that could be costly to the employer.
Bechtel said employers generally don't offer severance pay to employees who voluntarily resign or retire.
She also said she would expect public employers to be more judicious with severance pay than private employers.
"In the public realm, you're dealing with taxpayer money, so there's probably more caution taken on when you would give severance and when you wouldn't," she said.
Yet Grand Junction hasn't always followed a predetermined policy or contract on severance pay. In the cases of three of the four city employees who received severance, taxpayers footed the bill based on action taken by the City Council or city manager.
Arnold received more than $63,000 in severance salary, plus other benefits, after resigning in 2006. The City Council agreed to give him six months' pay in exchange for him working as a consultant. Arnold, though, didn't perform any consulting work.
Varley, who succeeded Arnold, garnered $70,000 in severance upon resigning after only six months as the city manager. Varley's contract called for him to be compensated in the event he resigned "following an offer (by the council) to accept resignation."
Chief helped find replacement
City Manager Laurie Kadrich said she offered Gardner three months' severance pay to give him an opportunity to look for another job and allow him to assist in the search for a new police chief. She said Gardner wouldn't have received severance if he hadn't helped recruit his replacement.
It's unclear why Trent received a severance package that included auto and cell phone allowances. City human resources officials were unable to find a contract that stipulated severance pay.
Arnold, the manager who hired Trent and who is now the town manager of Windsor, didn't return a call last week seeking comment.
Trent became the town administrator in Milliken less than a month after leaving Grand Junction. She is now the community and economic development manager for the town of Evans. She was out of the office last week and couldn't be reached for comment.
Other local governments have both mirrored and differed from Grand Junction in how they have handled post-employment compensation for upper-echelon employees.
Mesa County gave six months' severance each to County Administrator Bob Jasper (roughly $54,000) and Department of Human Services Director Jim Garrett (roughly $48,000) when commissioners terminated them in 2005 and 2006, respectively. DHS Director Tom Papin, who preceded Garrett, didn't receive severance when he resigned in 2005 to take a job in Florida.
Montrose County didn't give County Manager Joe Kerby any money when he resigned last month to take a job in Douglas County.
Michele Frisby, spokeswoman for the International City/County Management Association in Washington, D.C., said in the past 20 years employment contracts for city and county managers that include a severance provision have gone from a novelty to something that's commonplace. She believes it's because the job has increased in complexity.
"Managers won't look at a position unless they're able to have that severance," said Frisby, whose organization provides assistance and training to nearly 9,000 members.
Highly specialized positions
She said severance pay is justified in cases of termination because city and county managers work in highly specialized positions. If they have to leave their job, they most likely have to move to find comparable work because a similar position doesn't exist in the same community, she said.
"Managers need some kind of safety net, some kind of security," Frisby said.
Grand Junction Mayor Bruce Hill said such compensation offers a certain peace of mind for managers who can be subject to the political whims of the boards that hire them.
"If I'm going to relocate my family, I would like to have some guarantee of being there a while or, if I'm not, some assistance in relocating again," Hill said.
Gene Kinsey, a former mayor and City Council member, said it's difficult for cities to negotiate contracts that don't include a severance clause for city managers. But he said he doesn't understand why department heads would receive severance.
Leslie Paige, spokeswoman for Citizens' Against Government Waste in Washington, D.C., said the organization monitors government spending at the federal level and doesn't track severance pay at the local level. But she said that sort of compensation fuels taxpayers' frustration and anger and creates the perception — real or not — that government employees don't have to worry about losing their jobs or economic downturns.
The Independence Institute's Caldara said severance often represents "the polite way of firing somebody and paying them to go away. In these times I don't think we can afford that any longer."
He said government leaders should be more forthright about why an employee is receiving severance.
"This ought to be done in front of the taxpayer. How much is he getting paid? Did he resign, or was he fired? If he really resigned, he shouldn't be getting severance," he said.

United rout second-string Wolves
MANCHESTER UNITED 3-0 WOLVESWayne Rooney led the way as Manchester United eased past a Wolves shadow team at Old Trafford to draw the champions level on points with Chelsea at the top of the Premier League table.
The England striker opened the scoring with a 30th-minute penalty as Sir Alex Ferguson 's men brushed aside a visiting team which contained an incredible ten changes from their win at Tottenham.
Further strikes by Nemanja Vidic and Antonio Valencia sealed victory as United bounced back from their weekend home defeat by Aston Villa.
Only goalkeeper Marcus Hahnemann survived from Wolves' victory at White Hart Lane, in a move by Mick McCarthy which appeared designed to rest his key players for Saturday's home match with Burnley.
It meant United, with Michael Carrick back in defence in the absence of the injured Wes Brown, were expected to make light work of McCarthy's men. And they did not disappoint.
Despite taking half an hour to break down their visitors, Rooney put them ahead from the spot after Ronald Zubar handled Darron Gibson's corner.
Vidic then gave United a two-goal cushion before the break as the Serbia centre-half rose to head home another Gibson corner in the 43rd minute. Valencia lit up a dour second half with an excellent half-volley in the 66th minute, the Ecuador winger set up by Dimitar Berbatov, as United cruised home.
Wolves boss Mick McCarthy said he had no regrets over his selection.
Bit it was too much for the travelling Wolves faithful, who chanted 'we want our money back', 'where is our first team' and '£40 to watch the reserves' before making their way back down the M6.
'I can understand that reaction,' said McCarthy.
'But at the end of the season I will be judged on whether Wolves have stayed in the Premier League or not.
'It was my strongest team – because it was a team with fresh legs.'McCarthy was clearly aware of the criticism his decision would unleash because he came to the post-match press conference armed with a piece of evidence that shows players' performances reduce by up to 40% when they are forced to compete twice in three or four days.
And, having asked his players to mark their efforts at Spurs and been presented with a succession of 9.5s, he opted against asking the same players to push themselves again so soon afterwards.
'It was not a plan but when I saw those figures I knew there was no chance of the same type of performance on a Tuesday after a Saturday game,' he said.
'I have a squad of 21 to pick from and I regard them all as first-team players.'

USF women vs. Saint Francis (Pa.)
When/where: 2, Sun Dome, Tampa.
Radio: 1010-AM.
Records: USF 8-4, St. Francis 2-6.
Notable: USF has struggled at home, with losses to Florida A&M, East Carolina and Tulane. The Red Flash's record won't scare anyone, but they lost at Pittsburgh by a 75-70 score, so the Bulls need to take the game seriously, if only as the final tuneup before they open Big East play Monday at Connecticut. The Bulls are getting a double double from senior C Jessica Lawson (14.7 points, 10.9 rebounds per game) and five other players average nine or more points. St. Francis' top scorer is 5-6 G Britney Hodges at 16.6 points per game. USF needs every win it can get to continue a streak of six straight postseasons.

6 Rappers That Should Remake These 5 Movie
Nicki Minaj as Barbarella
It's only a matter of time before Ms. Minaj shows up on the big screen. After all, she's a former acting major with theater experience back in her high school years. Plus, in a June interview with New York, Minaj talked about how Meryl Streep is one of two celebrities she'd be starstruck around (the other is Judge Judy). Hollywood has long been flirting with the idea of redoing the campy 1968 sci-fi picture Barbarella, which starred a foxy Jane Fonda. For "Black Barbie" Minaj, it's a custom built role just waiting for her. Black Barbarella, anyone? And imagine the Young Money princess kicking ass while dressed in form-fitting spacesuits. Have mercy.

NEW YORK (Mar. 21)
The picture of Syrian Jewry presented by Mike Wallace on tonight's telecast of "60 Minutes" on the CBS-TV network, although more accurate and better balanced than his broadcast a year ago on the same subject, still gives a somewhat more positive slant to the story than was warranted, according to the American Jewish Committee which previewed the show prior to the telecast.
Tonight's presentation was the long-awaited second look at the situation of the Jews in Syria that Wallace promised to take in response to the storm of critical comment that was provoked by the first program Feb. 16, 1975, the AJCommittee noted. At that time numerous Jewish organizations attacked the telecast and thousands of viewers objected to the assessment that life was getting better for Jews in Syria.
According to the preview, Wallace notes in tonight's telecast that the critics felt he had been had and their views were summed up by the American Jewish Congress which called the initial report inaccurate and distorted. Wallace reiterates that life for Syria's Jews is "better than in years past," that "it is getting better under President (Hafez) Assad" for all Syrians, "Syrian Jews among them. To deny that is to deny what we have seen." These are roughly the remarks that touched off the earlier storm.
In a detailed analysis of tonight's program, George E. Gruen, the AJCommittee's director of Israel and Middle East Affairs, commended Wallace for correcting the erroneous impression left by some of his previous comments, but also pointed out that Wallace still did not fully convey the sense of insecurity felt by Syrian Jews, despite the recent economic improvement and easing of certain internal restrictions.
"Even if one shares Mr. Wallace's impression that life has been getting somewhat better for Jews in Syria-under President Assad's rule and that there are no apparent signs of blatant physical persecution at present, we believe that their situation remains precarious, since it is dependent upon the good will of the rulers and is not yet firmly based in a legal tradition respecting human rights," Gruen stated.
On the plus side, the AJCommittee expressed approval of the fact that Wallace identified Syria as a "police state," calling it "a poor country by our standards–difficult, totalitarian–and for Jews it is more difficult than for the others."
Gruen also noted favorably that Wallace had included an interview with a young Jewish doctor who had escaped from Syria. This was in contrast to last year's program, in which the only interviews with Jews had been filmed in Syria under the watchful eyes of Syrian secret police. The interview with the doctor, who now lives in the United States, Wallace notes in the program, had come about through the assistance of the AJCommittee.
"We have been in frequent contact with Mr. Wallace over the past year to provide him with background information, suggest leads he might wish to follow up on, and share our assessment of changing developments affecting Syrian Jewry," Gruen stated.
In his criticism of the program, Gruen noted that "the factual information" presented in tonight's program "in general corresponds to the latest information we have received from other sources, although one may differ with Wallace's report in some matters of interpretation and nuances."
Gruen also regretted the fact, for instance, that the program was concerned primarily with "Jews who are successful in business or the professions," and did not deal with "any of the estimated 200 Jewish families in Damascus who reportedly live close to or below the poverty line" even though the program noted that "the average per capita income for all Syrians is less than $10 a week."
Similarly, on the question of Jewish students at the University of Damascus, "it is true that the number of 35 Jewish students currently enrolled in relation to total student enrollment corresponds to the proportion of Jews within Syria's population as a whole," Gruen stated, "but the program does not take into account the fact that since Jews live in urban centers and tend toward middle-class professions, they are likely to have a higher percentage of children who wish to go on to college than do Syrians who live in rural areas."
Gruen also regretted the fact that tonight's program did not directly retract a statement in the previous program which claimed that "four young Syrian Jews were executed for espionage in 1969." The AJCommittee, he stated, "pointed out that this alleged incident was unknown to any of our reliable sources and that even the Syrian ambassador in Washington had categorically denied that any Syrian Jews had been tried or executed for espionage."
As in its criticism of the earlier program, the AJCommittee challenged Wallace's assumption that the comments he elicited from the Syrian Jews he interviewed were candid because he had been "permitted to talk to anyone we wanted many of them in private."
People who have experienced totalitarian government have pointed out, Gruen stated, that "Americans, such as Mike Wallace and his CBS colleagues, who have lived their entire lives in freedom, cannot really appreciate the sense of insecurity and fear that is second nature to a person who has grown up in a police state and which, therefore, colors his every action and conversation."
He noted that the "continuing spotlight of public attention that has been focussed on the problem of Syrian Jewry by responsible persons with a humanitarian concern for their plight and by representatives of the media, such as CBS, have helped bring about the measure of improvement reported by Mr. Wallace."

Roomers is a brand new exciting interior design series, which is hosted by Neville Knott. In this eight part series Neville is joined by interior designers Joseph McCann, Karl Fradgley and Anne-Marie Hamill, who will bring their specialist skills to different houses around Ireland as they attempt to transform unsightly rooms.
Neville will guide the Roomers expert team as they tackle unpleasant living rooms, bedrooms and outdated kitchens. Each week the designers will work with three different homeowners living in the same area as they attempt to help them achieve their dream rooms. Each expert will hope to produce the best transformation but it's the homeowners themselves who'll decide the winner!
Whether it's a kitchen stuck in the 70s, a bland and boring living room or a bedroom on a bargain basement budget - the Roomers will use their style, skills and know-how to come up with stunning interiors.
The series contains a wealth of wonderful interior design tips, a variety of transformation budgets, lashings of fly-on-the wall footage and best of all gives the audience a chance to watch strangers poking around each other's homes.

It was a colourful weekend for Isoko indigenes in Lagos last weekend when they converged at Regency Hall, Ikeja to discuss ways to move the Isoko nation forward.
The Isoko gathering under the auspices of the Mr. Mike Ogwah led Isoko Advancement Network, (IAN) gathered for a programme tagged "Isoko Interacts". It was an avenue for the sons and daughters of Isoko extraction in the government of Dr Emmanuel Uduaghan and at the Federal level to tell their people what they have been doing.
Among the personalities were Secretary to Delta state Government, Comrade Ovuozourie Macaulay, former Delta state commissioner for Information, Oma Djebah, Hon Tebite, High Chief S. Uredi, pioneer speaker, Delta State House of Assembly, Emmanuel Okoro, Deputy Majority leader of the House of Representatives, Rep Leo Ogor, Delta state commissioner for Lands, Survey & Urban Development, Mr Patrick Ferife, Special adviser to Gov. Uduaghan on security, Rear Admiral Kpokpogri, Chief Solomon Ogba, Member Delta state House of Assembly, Tim Owhefere, special assistant on media to Governor Uduaghan, Mr Felix Ofou, popular gospel artist, Sammie Okposo and the Ghetto soldier, Daddy Showkey.
Flagging off the event that day, Ogwah said: "We have come to the realization that where information is lacking, rumour is bound to thrive and today's forum is to create an avenue for a regular flow of information between Isoko people in government and Isoko people at home and diaspora."
The high point of the event came when the popular gospel artist, Sammie Okposo took the stage to sing in the native Isoko language. His action sent the gathering into frenzy.
Subsequently, the session flowed into an interactive session during which the people freely asked questions from the government appointees and dignitaries in government.
Fielding questions from journalists during the event, Mr Macaulay maintained that Saturday's event was a unique one because the meeting made him realize government needs to be closer to the people to enable them have an idea of what government is doing.
His words, "One problem government continues to have is the fact that they distant themselves from people, so people are less informed about what government is doing. In Delta state, we have a town hall meeting that is being anchored by the governor at senatorial districts but today, we have decided to bring the meeting here to the Isokos in Lagos state to enable them know what the government is doing, we want them to have the feeling of government. The governor cannot be everywhere, but with meetings like this, we can hear from them what their feelings are and we will now tell them what government programmes are and I think that is the essence of government".
On the alleged marginalisation of Isoko people which has been raising some questions, he said, "I am not keen in hearing anything about marginalisation. Today, Urhobo people will shout marginalisation, the Ijaws will shout, even the Itsekiri's where the governor hails from will shout marginalisation, so it has become an order of the day. How are they marginalized? I am an Isoko son, what others are having, we are also having, nobody can have everything, on that basis, they can say they did not have enough but everybody can say he is not having enough but not marginalization".
On his scorecard as the Secretary to Delta state government, he responded, "I am serving Delta state and not Isoko people alone. My duty is to ensure no part of Delta state is neglected, that is my work and duty. And it means that Isoko people will not be neglected as well".
Speaking on the quest by the Isoko people for the governorship seat come 2015, he is of the opinion that Isoko people can be whatever they want to be if they speak with one voice.
"My idea on the quest by my people is that Isoko people can be whatever they wanted to be in 2015. What I can do to position the Isoko people is what I am doing right now. What they want to be is left for them. My own is to continue to preach oneness, unity and for them to come together to speak with one voice.
"They should extend relationship to other ethnic nationalities in Delta as well because no matter what they want to be, only one ethnic nationality cannot do it alone except being supported by other nationalities. If they think they can plan it alone, they are only making a mistake and I am sure they are aware of that".

We learnt romantic dance moves, perfect for our wedding, and had lots of time to practice with music. We are now very confidant and looking forward to our first dance as husband and wife.
That was the hardest brain workout I've had in a while - and the most fun I've had while doing a maths problem. Such a great way to bond with our team. Would highly recommend!

Normal Park Museum Magnet Principal Jill Levine is among three principals selected for the U.S. Department of Education's first Principal Ambassador Fellows.
Levine will serve through August 2014 along with Sharif El-Mekki, of Philadelphia, Pa., and Rachel Skerritt, of Washington, D.C. They were among some 450 applicants for the program, which is designed to lend a school principal's perspective to federal education policy.
"Each year I have the opportunity to visit schools and meet with leaders across the country who are committed to improving educational outcomes for our nation's students," U.S. Education Secretary Arne Duncan said in a news release. "Principals are a linchpin in the effort to improve student success and raise achievement at any scale, and I look forward to working with the 2013 Principal Ambassador Fellows to continue a thoughtful conversation on the best ways to sustain and support school leaders for the long haul. Their firsthand knowledge of the challenges principals face will help shape policy and programs across the country to better prepare our nation's children for college and career."

Ratings for Dr. Barry M. Cohen
Dr. Cohen is extremely opinionated and abrupt. He is not a good surgeon and you should take your loved ones elsewhere. He may have been a better physician at one time, but has grown bitter and is not helpful. The office is extremely disorganized and it becomes a popularity game to be approved for procedures. They book ten to twelve patients for the identical appointment time and then have you wait for hours on end (not minutes). Who needs to deal with arrogance, when there are many other great facilities?
This entire practice had great doctors but Shareen, the girl who is responsible for getting approvals and referrals is horrible. She blatantly lies and never returns calls!
I accompanied my 85 year old mother to see Dr.Cohen. I was extremely pleased with him. Many doctors are very impatient with elderly people and prefer to speak with me. He was extremely respectful of my mother, very knowledgeable and very thorough. He took his time, talked us through the situation and options and was the only doctor we have seen who repeatedly asked if we had any questions and not to be shy about asking anything. I highly recommend him.
One of the finest doctors anywhere. Always there when you need him. Very
I usually get on here to tell folks about less than great Drs, I thought it was high time to praise a great one. Dr Cohen is genuinely caring and respectful. He takes his time with each patient (which is the only reason you may wait a bit. He shakes my hand when he sees me and looks me right in the eye when we talk. He treats the body as a whole which I find is rare in Drs these days. He is excellent.
My wife and I both have warm feelings towards Dr. Cohen.
Dr. Cohen has done heart surgery on my dad. He is extremely knowledgable and there is no one I would trust more. He always takes the time to answer all of our questions and sincerely cares for his patients. I would strongly recommend Dr. Cohen to anyone.
barry saved my life he new what to do when to do it.

Digital music encoding technology has swept the Internet. Thanks mostly to the encoding format MP3 -- officially called MPEG 1, Layer 3 -- music files that two years ago would have consumed 30MB to 50MB can be compressed to a fraction of their original size while maintaining good audio fidelity. What used to sound like a clock radio playing underwater has metamorphosed into audio that approaches CD quality. That's enough to make people stand up and take notice.
This boom in consumer interest has won the attention of consumer electronics companies, content-oriented Web sites and large record companies, all eager to ride the crest of the newest Internet phenomenon. As a result, listeners today can choose from a wide array of portable devices that play compressed music (see "Mobile MP3"), whereas last year their only option was Diamond Multimedia's Rio. A huge number of Web sites now offer downloadable audio players and music. And record companies, which have fought MP3 tooth and nail, are embracing compressed music formats other than MP3 that incorporate digital rights management and preserve their profits.
Many people forget that a lot of Web music in MP3 format is illegal. It gets uploaded to sites for unlimited downloading by users who have no intention of paying content owners for the privilege of doing so. Incorporating rights management into audio content will enable record labels to release single songs or complete albums from major stars online, so fans can find and download music legally. Of course, under this model you'll have to pay for the recordings -- either with your credit card or by providing demographic information to the record labels.

Piper Jaffray's Safa Rashtchy, who has an outperform rating on IAC, wrote before the call that the major appeal of IAC's stock was its low valuation -- a valuation he hoped would be more "relevant" if the company's business stabilized. "So far the results are not suggesting that," wrote Rashtchy, while saying he would withhold final judgment until after the call. "We do note the expected spin off of IAC travel is likely to unlock some of the conglomerate discount and may be a catalyst for the stock, if the travel segment at least stabilizes," he wrote. Looking forward, Khosrowshahi said he expected the travel business -- of which Expedia is the flagship brand -- will show first-quarter 2005 percentage revenue growth in the teens, and earnings growth in the high single digits. For the full year, the company says travel revenue growth will be in the high teens, and bottom-line growth will be in the low to mid-teens. For HSN, the company is expecting revenue growth in the high single digits and bottom-line growth in the mid-teens. HSN's international operations are expected to show bottom-line growth in the neighborhood of 20%, similar to their 2004 bottom-line performance.

EPCs tell owners, potential buyers and tenants about the energy efficiency of a home and how it can be improved. It is the responsibility of the builder to provide an EPC when a home is constructed and physically completed. This will also apply if a building is converted into fewer or more units and changes are made to the heating, hot water provision or air conditioning/ventilation services. The only person who is able to produce an Energy Performance Certificate is an accredited energy assessor.

Sometime in the last few days, Amazon.com unveiled three new features for its Inside the Book search: "books on related topics," a "100 most frequently used" concordance (above is the concordance for Orality and Literacy by Walter J. Ong), and "text stats." The stats are pretty funny – in addition to page, word and character count, they measure a book's "complexity" as well as its "readability" according to three established indexes, including the famous and amusingly named "Fog Index" (as though it rated the density of mental fog between a reader and a book). It also includes so-called "fun stats" like words per dollar and words per ounce.
Some of these features seem a little trivial, but there's no denying that Amazon is moving surely and steadily toward a comprehensive semantic browsing system (other recent innovations are Statistically Improbable Phrases (SIPS) and Citations). Though still crude compared to what it might eventually become, you can begin to glimpse the pleasures and uses it will afford. Amazon can never replace the social and tactile pleasures of browsing a physical bookstore, but it's doing a good job at making the virtual bookstore a more exciting place.

What's not to love about this trip? Georgia has given rise to one of the greatest songs ever (Ray Charles' "Georgia on my Mind&rdquo and the name of the other state exudes excitement and enthusiasm (Ala-BAM!-a). And there are Loopsters down there.
I love to travel anyway, and traveling alone is pretty sweet because I don't have to worry about anyone but myself – most of the time I don't even have to talk to anyone.
I worried about not getting in my second speed workout on Wednesday last. I worried so much that I made a new plan to get both the miles and the speed taken care of. My flight didn't leave until almost 9AM, so an early wakeup let me get in 4 good miles on the road, with 3 of them at not quite 5K pace. Wednesday was supposed to be 4 x 1200s at the track, but I wasn't getting up at 0-dark-thirty, it was dark and my legs weren't 100% after doing 7 the previous evening, so it was close enough.
I'd also planned plenty of time in ATL to visit with northern lass and flying tomato (quadracool had to work and couldn't make it - L), put in 7-10 miles somewhere around town, then cruise on down I-85 to Montgomery, shower in the hotel and meet my son for the first of his Air Force Officer Training School graduation activities.
That was the plan.
Anyone ever been to the ATL airport? First of all, it's pretty freaking huge. Also, the new thing in airports is putting all the car rental companies in the same location far, far away from the terminals. I rode the train through several concourses, walked past the luggage pickup and across the street to catch another train out to the rental center. I waited in line for several minutes, all the time eyeing a bank of self-service kiosks. I finally decided to cut out and try one, only to be met with a "Please wait 3-5 minutes for a customer service rep" message. So I waited while I watched the 3 people who had been ahead of me and another 5 who had been behind me in line get their cars at the regular counter. Jim, my CSR was very helpful, but there was a glitch when my driver's license was too old to have the proper barcode for the kiosk to scan me in. So I had to find a live Hertz person wandering by to verify for Jim that my license was indeed valid. My car was conveniently on the same floor (of the 15 story parking garage) as the counter, so that was nice.
This all put me only slightly behind schedule but I was soon on the road to my Loopster lunch date. Northern lass found us a nice little place outside of the Georgia Tech campus with several choices. I found her without too much trouble and we settled on burgers at a place called Yeah! Burger. We ate and talked running (of course) until FT showed up , talked some more running and a little other stuff. Time goes by way too fast sometimes.
I forgot how tall (but not how beautiful) NL is!
FT, on the other hand, is more my size.
FT suggested I run at Piedmont Park, which was just a couple of miles from Yeah! Burger, and I followed him over. He then gave me a tour of the entire park, focused on all the races they have in ATL that run at least partly through it (most of them). It was all very interesting, but when we finished, I discovered that I only had time for a short run before I needed to be on my way.
So I found a McDonald's bathroom to change in, parked the Mazda on 10th Street outside Henry W. Grady High School, and made a loop around Piedmont. It really is a big, beautiful park, and my loop around it gave me exactly 3.1 miles, just long enough to add another state to my list.
Sat in the shade until I dried off, then hit the highway. Good thing I was the only one in the car.
Made it to the Baymont Inn on the east side of Montgomery with just enough time to check in, shower, drive to the base, pick up Connor and get us both downtown – on time – for dinner. Boom. This was an outside event sponsored by USAA. The food was excellent, and I was able to meet and talk to about half of Connor's flight. Nice young people, and then someone asked me about marathons, so I took over the conversation for maybe a few minutes. How many have I run? Where? Which was my favorite? I think the one asking the questions was a psychologist, so she may have been doing it on purpose to make me feel included. It worked.
Next day I wasn't due on base until 11AM, so I went for 10 miles along the Atlanta Highway towards downtown, although I never made it that far. It was warm and humid, but overcast, so only mildly icky. Apparently they don't believe in sidewalks in Montgomery (at least on this side of town), nor do they believe in road shoulders. I'd have been happy to run on the road, except that they do believe in driving in the outside lane as much as possible. So, I spent 95% of the run on the grass, which wasn't terrible most of the time. It wasn't very scenic, so I didn't bother to take any pics, except for this one outside the hotel room, which was nicer than anything else I saw that day. I ran past lots of title loan businesses, a few garages and body shops and several car dealers. I'd decided to bring my fuel belt so I could carry my phone with me in case I got lost. Good thing, too. I didn't' get lost since I took a straight out and back, but I needed every last drop of the Gatorade I was carrying. Holy humidity, Batman! But, it was a run and with the 10 I made up for some of the mileage I missed on Saturday (get to that later).
Back on base, along with a few dozen other family/friends of the graduates, I watched a video about the training Connor had been through the previous 5 weeks. There's running and climbing and obstacles and other physical stuff, plus both general and Air Force specific leadership training. They get up at 04:30 every day and are going pretty much all day, with drill instructors and trainers and other people yelling in their faces. Sounds like a great time.
Waiting for the base commandant to arrive.
Then Connor took me on a tour of the place – here's the classroom, here's my room, here's the track, over there's the obstacle course, here's a lecture hall, there's the mess hall. All very exciting. I met his flight commander and the other members of his flight crew.
This is my classroom building.
This is my dorm.
Here is my room.
This is where I hang my AF clothes.
The graduation ceremony for the entire class (400-ish) was that afternoon in a large auditorium (thank goodness – it was HOT down there). They recognized the flight leaders, top performers in the fitness tests, academics and an overall top of the class. Connor won the academic achievement award, for getting 100% on all the tests. Almost as cool as an AG win.
Celebratory dinner at a sushi place in downtown Montgomery. This was dessert.
I drove around downtown a little and took a few pics.
Historic fountain.
Alabama state capitol.
Civil rights monument. The security guy thought I was trying to park here, but I was just waiting for this mom and her daughter who were taking pictures in front of it to move so I could take mine. They took a long time.
Back at the hotel I spent an easy evening reading, then knocked off early for the night. Next morning I ran in the other direction, away from town. It was cooler on Friday than Thursday, but more humid, so it was still about as uncomfortable. The route was nicer, though. A couple of miles to the east is the University of Auburn-Montgomery campus.
The traffic was very light at 6AM so the road was mostly clear. Once on campus I found a nice walking path that went pretty much around the whole place. There were several people out for a morning stroll, one guy out running and an open bathroom that was big and air conditioned, very clean and placed at the exactly right spot to save me from a Code Abby.
This was the neighborhood around campus. Much nicer than my Thursday morning run.
On base that morning was a small ceremony for the flight, with their commander handing them the graduation certificates. This was followed by the graduation parade, with all the officers performing fr review by a two-star who'd come in for the event. They threw their hats up in the air and were officially done.
Living the dream.
Connor wanted to stay after and attend another ceremony, where his flight commander was promoted to Captain. That put me on the road later than I'd hoped, but this trip was about him, not my plans to meet Loopsters all over the country. It was a great three days and interesting to share the experience with him. Now he can get back to medical school and do some more hard stuff.
I dropped him off at the Montgomery airport and drove to ATL. I had a close eye on the clock, because I'd been hoping there'd be time for me to sneak up to the north side of town and spend a few minutes talking to quadracool, who missed us on Wednesday because of work. It wasn't long before I could see it just wasn't going to happen, so I sent her a fb message that our reunion would have to wait until Marshall. Sad faces in my car and at the Frontgate store.
As I pulled off the freeway exit to the airport, I got a text from Southwest – my flight was delayed 40 minutes. Was that enough time? I did some non-running calculations and decided it was worth a shot. I turned around and got back on the freeway. I raced north for maybe 5 miles until I hit what was the absolute worst traffic I've ever seen in my life anywhere. With no apparent trouble anywhere along the way, we crawled and jerked and crept slowly north. I was very close on several occasions to turning off and returning. I wondered if I was going to miss my flight. But I kept going. I'm dumb like that.
Finally! I pulled off the 400 in Roswell and found the store. C4 was off in the office taking a nap or something, so I asked the guy at the cash register if he would go wake her up for me. It's fun to surprise friends when they aren't expecting you. I had maybe 5 minutes before taking my chances with the ATL traffic again in an attempt to make my flight, but it was so good to see this speedy Loopster.
Another text from the airline – another 30 minute delay. The stars were aligning and I somewhat impatiently maneuvered back down the 400 towards the airport. Me and the Mazda rolled into the rental return at 6:15. I'd have missed my original flight, but I was good for the late one. The train back to the terminals was arriving just as I walked upstairs, so I hopped on just in time for it to leave. Security wasn't bad. My gate was at the very end of the concourse (of course), but I still made it with 20 minutes to spare – enough time to walk back and grab some dinner before boarding.
Goodbye ATL.
Landed in Detroit at 10PM, was home and in bed at midnight, and up again at 6 the next morning for the 6 hour drive to Lexington. We spent two days there with the (now) three granddaughters, then drove back Sunday, getting in around midnight.
I like to have a recovery day after a trip before going back to work, but that doesn't always work out. Monday morning came a little too early for my taste, but at least I don't dig ditches for a living. I may have even stayed awake at my desk all day.
As fun as traveling is, it can leave me pretty drained. Even though I'd had an extra rest day from running (skipped Saturday), I was sure feeling tired and weak on Monday. I was not really looking forward to adding a mile to my weekly tempo run. On top of that, I was scheduled to run on the bike path behind Target, which means a climb of 240 feet from start to the turnaround point. What I normally do is run on effort and see how that matches the speed I'm supposed to be able to run at this stage of training. Tempo runs are supposed to be at GMP, but I've been doing them more at HMP and doing my LRs with a chunk at GMP. I never felt great – or even good – but it was a solid effort. 7:42, 7:32, 7:42, 7:36, 7:26. Finished just as the rain started.
Hopefully I'll actually feel good tonight.

Racing fans must see!
Funny car racing is a blast in person. You can not get that thrill of 320 mph in a flash the way you can there. John Force and his beautiful daughters have been some of the best drivers out there. Yes, unlike Danica The Force Girls WIN! Anyways I was bouncing around today and was shocked to see what all they sold autographed in the gift shop! How about a not just signed pit shirts, but things like autographed race used pistons for $20? Tires, oil pans, belt and all sorts of race used and signed parts! The prices do go up, but amazing all the same! Am I the only one to think that this is amazing? Anyways I am sharing the site:
Anyone know of other drivers who offer autographed race used items on their websites? Let us know! I could never imagine other sports stars doing this. Let me see let get the autographed Jeter game used item for $20 or the Tiger game used for $20 and have him sign it? That will never happen, but in racing it does?Hidden Content ~ best SCF feature ever!

By THOMAS J. LUECK
Published: May 23, 1984
In a gesture that underscores a growing commitment of corporate assistance to public schools, the American Can Company yesterday conducted its annual shareholders' meeting at Martin Luther King Jr. High School on the West Side.
''Most corporate executives tend to buy off their conscience: They donate cash and walk away,'' said William S. Woodside, American Can's chairman. He told about 200 shareholders and 200 students that his company had made ''a real commitment to this school.''
Mr. Woodside presided over a two-hour session that included the normally staid agenda of an annual meeting, but was punctuated by a student- produced slide presentation of city scenes, school life and break-dancing.
The meeting also included questions from several of the students. Mr. Woodside was asked by 17-year- old Angelique Sims whether he thought his responsibilities justified the $925,000 he was paid by American Can last year. 'Door Is Open to Every Student'
''I make no apologies for what I'm paid,'' the board chairman responded. He said that his compensation was the result of hard work and dedication and that ''the door is open to every student here'' to attain similar positions of authority at large corporations.
''The idea is to demystify American business,'' said Joseph A. Califano Jr., the former Secretary of Health, Education and Welfare and a member of American Can's board. ''A lot of poor kids think of the corporation as something alien and hostile.''
Although companies often conduct annual meetings away from their own offices, no major corporation has ever selected the auditorium of a city high school. American Can and Martin Luther King High have had a two-year relationship in what the company calls a ''partnership program.''
The concept, which is being adopted in similar forms in several major cities, was introduced to New York in 1982 by American Can, which then selected Martin Luther King High; the Equitable Life Assurance Society, which has been working with William Cullen Bryant High School in Queens, and Manufacturers Hanover Trust, which has been working with John Jay High School in Brooklyn.
Other ''Join-A-School'' programs have since been started, or are planned by businesses at 10 other high schools in New York City. And proponents hope the idea will spread because a decade of tight fiscal constraints has required cuts in public school curriculums and extracurricular programs, and because many corporations are reconsidering their charitable activities.
Most major corporations contribute some money to charities each year, in part because tax laws allow them to deduct such contributions.
''Companies often give away their money stupidly,'' Mr. Woodside said. He maintained that, instead of identifying a social need, some companies selected their charities on the basis of what causes were favored by their largest customers or shareholders. Help for Poor Children
School officials, meanwhile, say the Join-A-School program can be particularly beneficial for poor children in minority groups who are interested in business but whose family and neighborhood environments give them little exposure to corporate life.
''Ghetto kids have no access to big business,'' said Nellie R. Jordan, Martin Luther King High's principal. Since American Can started becoming involved in the school, she added, ''the level of aspirations around here has improved to an extent nobody would have thought possible.''
The company's activities have included sending several executives to give lectures on business subjects, and offering students tours and seminars at its corporate headquarters in Greenwich, Conn.
The company has paid for an after- school course to train students to be security guards and for part of the costs of a computer literacy program. It has also supplemented the salaries of several teachers working after hours in extracurricular activities.
At the same time, students at the school, whose enrollment is more than 99 percent black, have been urged to analyze the affairs of American Can, a diversified company that has been undergoing a rapid transformation under Mr. Woodside.
Although the company is widely known as a manufacturer of containers, it has moved into insurance and other financial services, as well as direct-mail retailing and record stores.
In one project, a group of 30 students, after meeting with senior American Can executives, rewrote the company's annual report in simplified form.
More Than Just Numbers
''Most people don't get beyond the glossy photos in annual reports,'' said Saul Krug, the school's assistant principal. ''But these students now understand what the numbers mean.''
Indeed, some of the students, including Miss Sims, had prepared questions about the company that were based not only on a reading of the annual report, but also on the company's proxy statement explaining issues to be discussed at the annual meeting.
Alluding to Mr. Woodside's salary, Miss Sims said after the meeting, ''I don't think a chairman of any corporation is entitled to that much.'' Nonetheless, Miss Sims, who said she wanted to be an accountant, is not bearing a grudge.
''After looking at American Can, I think that would be a good place to work,'' she said.

SAVANNAH, Ga. — Lawyers signed a deal Friday to drop a discrimination and sexual harassment lawsuit against celebrity cook Paula Deen, who was dropped by Food Network and other business partners after she said under oath that she had used racial slurs in the past.
A document filed in U.S. District Court in Savannah said both sides agreed to drop the lawsuit "without any award of costs or fees to any party." No other details were released. The judge had not signed an order to finalize the dismissal.
Former employee Lisa Jackson sued Deen and her brother Bubba Hiers last year, saying she suffered from sexual harassment and racially offensive talk and employment practices that were unfair to black workers during her five years as a manager of Uncle Bubba's Seafood and Oyster House.
The dismissal deal came less than two weeks after Judge William T. Moore dismissed the race discrimination claims, ruling that Jackson, who is white, had no standing to sue over what she said was poor treatment of black workers. He let Jackson's claims of sexual harassment stand.
"While this has been a difficult time for both my family and myself, I am pleased that the judge dismissed the race claims and I am looking forward to getting this behind me, now that the remaining claims have been resolved," Deen said in a statement Friday.
While Deen said in her statement that "those who truly know how I live my life know that I believe in kindness and fairness for everyone," she also promised to take a closer look at how her employees are treated.
"Moving forward, my team and I are working to review the workplace environment issues that were raised in this matter and to retool all of my businesses operations," Deen said. "I look forward to getting back to doing what I love."
Deen is co-owner of the restaurant, which is primarily run by her brother. Jackson also claimed Hiers sexually harassed her when she worked at the restaurant from 2005 to 2010.
The deal to resolve the suit comes little more than a month after Deen and Hiers dumped their attorneys and hired a new legal team.
In her lawsuit, Jackson had claimed Hiers frequently made jokes containing racial slurs at work and prohibited black workers from using the restaurant's front entrance and customer restrooms. She said she was personally offended because she had biracial nieces.
Attorneys for Deen said in court filings that Jackson's lawsuit was based on "scurrilous and false claims." They said that before Jackson filed suit, she threatened to embarrass Deen publicly unless she paid the ex-employee "huge sums of money."

KAPALUA, Hawaii -- Dustin Johnson, whose relationship with LPGA star Natalie Gulbis was made public by Golf.com on Saturday, said Sunday he would not be playing the Sony Open as previously scheduled.
(Editor's Note: Johnson officially withdrew on Monday.)
"I've got to go take care of some things at home," Johnson said after shooting a final-round 68 (14 under total). "Something came up."
Gulbis followed Johnson around the Plantation Course at Kapalua for the second straight day Sunday, but this was the first time she's popped up on Golf Channel's telecast.
Johnson declined to address his relationship with Gulbis.
