Reblogged this on Movers, Shakers, Leadership Makers.
The world is in desperate need for a new kind of leadership. The type of leadership we've seen the last several decades has produced record low levels of trust and engagement in the workforce, so clearly what we've been doing isn't working. We need a leadership philosophy grounded in the knowledge and belief that the most successful leaders and organizations are those that place an emphasis on leading with trust.
A critical step for leaders and organizations to take to realize the benefits of high levels of trust is to establish a common definition and framework of how to build trust. Most people think trust "just happens" in relationships. That's a misconception. Trust is built through the intentional use of specific behaviors that, when repeated over time, create the condition of trust. Oddly enough, most leaders don't think about trust until it's broken. No one likes to think of himself or herself as untrustworthy so we take it for granted that other people trust us. To further complicate matters, trust is based on perceptions, so each of us has a different idea of what trust looks like. Organizations need a common framework and language that defines trust and allows people to discuss trust-related issues.
Research has shown that trust is comprised of four basic elements. To represent those four elements, or the "language" of trust, The Ken Blanchard Companies created the ABCD Trust Model—Able, Believable, Connected, and Dependable. For leaders to be successful in developing high-trust relationships and cultures, they need to focus on using behaviors that align with the ABCDs of trust.
Leaders build trust when they are:
Able—Being Able is about demonstrating competence. One way leaders demonstrate their competence is having the expertise needed to do their jobs. Expertise comes from possessing the right skills, education, or credentials that establish credibility with others. Leaders also demonstrate their competence through achieving results. Consistently achieving goals and having a track record of success builds trust with others and inspires confidence in your ability. Able leaders are also skilled at facilitating work getting done in the organization. They develop credible project plans, systems, and processes that help team members accomplish their goals.
Believable—A Believable leader acts with integrity. Dealing with people in an honest fashion by keeping promises, not lying or stretching the truth, and not gossiping are ways to demonstrate integrity. Believable leaders also have a clear set of values that have been articulated to their direct reports and they behave consistently with those values—they walk the talk. Finally, treating people fairly and equitably are key components to being a believable leader. Being fair doesn't necessarily mean treating people the same in all circumstances, but it does mean that people are treated appropriately and justly based on their own unique situation.
Connected—Connected leaders show care and concern for people, which builds trust and helps to create an engaging work environment. Research by The Ken Blanchard Companies has identified "connectedness with leader" and "connectedness with colleague" as 2 of the 12 key factors involved in creating employee work passion, and trust is a necessary ingredient in those relationships. Leaders create a sense of connectedness by openly sharing information about themselves and the organization and trusting employees to use that information responsibly. Leaders also build trust by having a "people first" mentality and building rapport with those they lead. Taking an interest in people as individuals and not just as nameless workers shows that leaders value and respect their team members. Recognition is a vital component of being a connected leader, and praising and rewarding the contributions of people and their work builds trust and goodwill.
Dependable—Being Dependable and maintaining reliability is the fourth element of trust. One of the quickest ways to erode trust is by not following through on commitments. Conversely, leaders who do what they say they're going to do earn a reputation as being consistent and trustworthy. Maintaining reliability requires leaders to be organized in such a way that they are able to follow through on commitments, be on time for appointments and meetings, and get back to people in a timely fashion. Dependable leaders also hold themselves and others accountable for following through on commitments and taking responsibility for the outcomes of their work.
By using the ABCD Trust Model, leaders can focus on the behaviors that build trust, and by sharing this model with those they lead, create a common framework and language for discussing issues of trust in the workplace.
This article is an excerpt from the chapter I wrote for Trust, Inc. – Strategies for Building Your Company's Most Valuable Asset, a collaborative effort by 30+ thought leaders including Stephen M.R. Covey, Charles H. Green, James M. Kouzes, Barry Z. Posner, and edited by Barbara Brooks Kimmel of Trust Across America.
Great post Randy! I completely agree with everything you wrote here. A good leader does maybe two of these things. A great leader does them all.

Being Able is important because having the skills and ability to do the job makes you a professional. Keeping promises and not lying makes you a Believable person.It also important to Connect with people by genuinely showing people that you care and, finally, if you're not Dependable, no one will want to work with you because they'll know you're only talk and no action.
Great article! Things I need to constantly remember on a daily basis!
I agree. It's just that important.
It is so true. Leaders who practice the ABCD trust model are more successful. I have experienced both sides, and the culture and work environment are much healthier with a leader everyone can trust.
Trust certainly affects the work environment and the culture as a whole.
Good reminder!
The ABCD model is a great way to show how trust is developed; It doesn't just "happen".
I really liked the ABCD Trust Model.
I think it is very beneficial for everyone to learn and understand that building trust within the team and organization is the key to building a strong team structure for any company in order to be successful.
I totally agree with the observation that most leadership styles result in low levels of trust. But I would amend the conclusion of the thought with "which causes a lack of engagement in the workforce." As an employee, I have been discouraged when I have put my trust in what leadership says they are going to do and then they only talk and never follow through. In response, I become just as disengaged as they are and they lose the ability to influence me.
I like the ABCD model of leadership. In order to help tis generation, we should step up one level up .we should work on building good relationship with people we lead. This has to be intentional. It calls for accountability and honesty. For this to happen, as leaders , it is good to listen to others, and the skills we have also, will help us connect well with the people we serve. .
I think that when we have the right skills, we are able to connect well with others, and they we are more dependable and effective at our jobs.

Kelly Clarkson Covers Katy Perry's 'Wide Awake;' Better Than Original? (VIDEO)
Kelly Clarkson did a slower more soulful cover of Katy Perry's "Wide Awake" song at a concert earlier this week in Concord, Calif.
The cover was part of a new traditional at Clarkson's concert where she sings a song by another artist that her fans pick. Her fans can request songs they want the 2002 American Idol winner to cover by tweeting her their name, song time and #KCrequests.
While Clarkson covered Perry's more pop-sounding "Wide Awake" at her concert on July 25, she also covered Britney Spears' song "Everytime" at her concert in Las Vegas on July 27.
Clarkson, 30, became a mentor and judge on the singing competition reality television show "Duets" on ABC this year. "Duets" debuted on May 24, and stars Clarkson, John Legend, Robin Thicke, and Jennifer Nettles as mentors who search for singers to perform duets with them.
Some of Clarkson's most well-known songs include: "A Moment Like This," Miss Independent," "Breakaway," "Because of You," "Since U Been Gone," among others.

Massacre postings on Facebook have New Braunfels man locked up
NEW BRAUNFELS — Justin R. Carter has come to understand during nearly 100 days behind bars just how unfunny some consider Facebook posts about shooting kindergartners.
"What I said was terrible, mean and downright stupid," Carter, 19, told state District Judge Jack Robison in a jailhouse letter concerning the terroristic threat charge he faces.
"The misunderstanding was that I wasn't trying to scare anyone, I was trying to be witty and sarcastic," the local man said of his Feb. 13 post. "I failed and I was arrested."
Defense attorney Donald Flanary III applauded New Braunfels police for investigating Carter's menacing remarks, but says they overreacted by filing a criminal complaint March 20.
"Teens these days trash-talk in their Internet gaming communities. He wasn't threatening any individuals. The context of the comment is sarcastic," said Flanary, who specializes in free speech cases and volunteered Monday to represent Carter for free.
"Speech is protected by the First Amendment and he didn't commit a crime," Flanary said Tuesday.
Carter, who worked at a San Antonio drapery firm, was indicted in April by a Comal County grand jury on the third-degree felony.
The indictment cites the alleged threat by Carter "to shoot up a kindergarten, watch the blood rain down and eat the beating heart out of one of them."
District Attorney Jennifer Tharp declined to comment on the case because it's pending.
The spate of deadly school shootings nationwide in recent years factored into the decision to charge Carter, New Braunfels Police Lt. John Wells said.
"We take any threats of that nature seriously," Wells said. "We don't know if they're going to carry it out or not. It's the job of the courts to decide whether to indict and to determine someone's guilt or innocence. Our job is to obtain the evidence and submit a complaint."
He said local prosecutors were consulted about charging Carter. His next court date is set for July 16.
The young man's mother, Jennifer Carter, has been active in getting national and international attention focused on her son's case, recently saying on the British Broadcasting Corp. that she feared for her son's safety while he's locked away with criminals.
She has said that her son's comments were braggadocio meant to impress fellow online gamers with whom he was playing. Her efforts include seeking signatures for an online petition.
His original court-appointed lawyer, Ivan Friedman, on Tuesday called the state's case "very weak."
"They can't prove intent," said Friedman, who has filed motions seeking a bond reduction and the suppression of Carter's statements to investigators.
A search warrant return on Carter's residence shows police seized computer equipment there March 13 but no weapons.
Expressing doubt that such online postings would be pursued by authorities elsewhere, Friedman said the seriousness with which Comal County authorities regard the matter is apparent from Robison's decision in April to double Carter's initial bail, to $500,000.
The undated, handwritten letter, addressed, "Dear Mr. Robinson," got the judge's name wrong. It was filed in the court record May 28.
In it, Carter said the fatal shootings of 26 people at Sandy Hook Elementary School on Dec. 14 were fresh on his mind when he invoked the slaughter of kindergartners "during a particular heated part of the argument" on Facebook.
"I was a smartass, sarcastic, a regular keyboard warrior, and I was dumb," Carter wrote, noting he'd gone online after work to "vent, play, laugh and relieve stress."
He says that while he's been jailed, he's been exposed to violence and threats but he also has "started losing weight" and found God, he wrote the judge.
"I've learned a lot about the path I was on and I've taken steps to change it," Carter wrote.

Solid occupier demand expected for offices and logistics, but regional discrepancy likely to widen
Tokyo Grade A Office - Large-scale of new supply poses rental correction
- Office: In 2018, vacancy rates are likely to start rising in Tokyo but are expected to continue tightening in regional cities. As such, Tokyo rents are forecast to see a downward correction, whereas regional rents have further upside.
- Logistics: Greater Tokyo will see a 40% increase in its stock of large-scale multi-tenant logistics facilities. While demand is solid mainly driven by e-commerce, the difference in the supply-demand balance by area will become further pronounced.
- Retail: Ginza high street rents are expected to continue trending down in 2018. However, with an expected recovery in demand from luxury retailers and an expansion of show-room strategies, rents may start to rise at the start of 2019.
- Investment: While investor sentiment remains high, we look for a y-o-y drop in volume by about 6% to JPY3.7 trillion in 2018. Upside in rents is becoming limited for some assets and/or areas, making investors more cautious on pricing.

You may have heard of Siri, that sultry vixen with the smooth voice who doesn't know where abortion clinics are but likes to curse out twelve-year-olds. Well, like most sultry vixens (trust me, I know like two… that I saw… on TV… once), she's not a fan of imitators, and even rival Google will ban a Siri knockoff and its developer from the Android Market.
Sad, really, that this second-rate, nothing-like-Siri knockoff was banned, since it was nothing more than a button (shaped like the Siri icon) that opened Google Voice Actions. In other words, it was a mean trick for anyone who wanted Siri for free.
And that poor developer had already had another fake-as-hell application banned, which was called Pinterest, and was billed as "a mobile wrapper for Pinterest's own mobile website."
U.S. & World
Really curious as to this guy's intentions. Seems like a whole bunch of work to just to be a minor inconvenience to people for free. Guess some folks have the luxury of time.
So lesson learned, everyone: leave Siri alone. You can't win. If you're a child, your ears will long sting from her retorts and if you're an adult trying to imitate her, you'll be forever banned from the Android Market.

A spin-off on the Test Version, only as the title suggests, this is for ODI Cricket.
Basically we take it in turns on picking your best possible All Time ODI XI.
I'm going to limit this to 12 people at this stage, I think we'll get some interesting teams with that amount.
The rules are below, very similar to Pskov's, hope you don't mind Pskov.
1. The draft order will be randomly determined by a generator, then proceed in serpentine fashion e.g. say there were three teams drafting, in odd rounds the order would be A, B, C then in the even rounds C, B, A (with team C picking twice in a row). This removes the advantage of some teams always picking earlier.
2. Any player who played in an officially recognised ODI is eligible.
3. Teams will be composed of 12 players selected on the basis of a ODI side to play in any conditions, against any opposition, anywhere in the world. At the end you can determine which player misses out on the final XI..
4. There will be no time limit to make your pick at first but I may implement one at some stage if the majority of participants want to speed up the process. Either way, if you join this you should be able to check the thread and pick at least once a day and ideally much more often. If someone does take too long and there is a general consensus then a drafter can have their pick skipped and will just have to make it up whenever they do turn up.
5. There will also be a concurrent draft for the home ground which will be in reverse order of the player draft. This will be used for any sim that may take place. i.e. If we do a county championship style play everyone home and away league format then the ground you draft will be your home pitch.
6. At the conclusion of the poll, everyone will have the option of emailing me the 3 best teams in order and each team will get 3,2,1 points. After a certain time frame of approximately a week, the points will be added and we'll have a winner on who has the best team. Members who are not participating can also vote - emails to be sent to email@example.com .
7. Any other rules which may become necessary will be added here as they come up.
Post below to register interest!

In Time magazine's new cover story ("Blue Truth, Red Truth," 10/3/12), Michael Scherer attempts to sort out the puzzle of campaign season factchecking. But while the cover promises to tell us which candidate is telling the truth, it mostly manages to capture some of the corporate media's worst factchecking tropes.
The article kicks off with a hefty helping of false balance–the tendency to see all problems as coming more or less equally from both sides.
Obama complains about Romney's sustained, false claims that the White House is doing away with work requirements under welfare. Scherer notes this is false–and then pivots to a false claim coming from the Obama side, something having to do with a campaign strategist's criticism of Romney over his confusing statements about when he relinquished control of Bain Capital.
The two issues are not remotely equivalent, but one of the most common problems with media factchecking is the need to always be balanced–no matter what is happening in reality.
That tendency was on display in a separate Time piece by Alex Altman ("Who Lies More? Yet Another Close Contest") that ostensibly attempted to figure out which candidate was most deceptive:
To find out who shaded the truth most, Time asked each campaign for a list of its rival's worst deceptions. After examining those claims and consulting independent factchecking websites, we selected some of the most prominent falsehoods and prevarications of the 2012 campaign–at least so far. Compared with the Obama campaign's, the Romney operation's misstatements are frequently more brazen. But sometimes the most effective lie is the one that is closest to the truth, and Obama's team has often outdone Romney's in the dark art of subtle distortion.
So, to summarize: Romney lies more, and bigger. But Obama tells the more effective kind of lies: the ones that are more accurate. Got that?
Scherer seems troubled by the sheer volume of political lying in the campaign, and he thinks he knows who's to blame: the people. He writes:
So what explains the factual recklessness of the campaigns? The most obvious answer can be found in the penalties, or lack thereof, for wandering astray. Voters just show less and less interest in punishing those who deceive.
Indeed, some of the most prominent campaign lies succeed because we apparently want them to:
There was no Obama "apology tour," but the canard flourished because some voters are wary about his sense of American exceptionalism. If you read the whole paragraph, the president's "You didn't build that" riff seems a lot more reasonable, but context fell victim to a perception that Obama disdains free enterprise.
Never Miss a Beat.
Get our best delivered to your inbox.
So Romney (and others lie) about an Obama apology tour, and it works because some people are apt to believe it. Of course, that impression has more impact when journalists fail to challenge the lie. (The recent Washington Post headline "Obama, Romney Differ on U.S. Exceptionalism" would seem to endorse that Romney worldview.)
On the other example, saying that "context fell victim" to a false perception removes the agency of the people doing the lying–not to mention the people whose job it is to separate truth from falsehood.
Scherer writes near the end that "until the voting public demands something else, not just from the politicians they oppose but also from the ones they support, there is little reason to suspect that will change." But, as we've long argued, there are people who have more direct access to politicians, and who can challenge political lies. Those people are called journalists. And if they do not make politicians pay a price for lying, they're not likely to stop anytime soon.
A more aggressive media would be nice, but Scherer offers the public some bizarre advice instead:
The pundits on MSNBC, the Huffington Post and the editorial page of the New York Times do a fine job of calling out the deceptions of Romney, but if you want to hear where Obama is going wrong, you might be better served on the Drudge Report, Fox News or the Wall Street Journal editorial page.
So go check media outlets that have a terrible record when it comes to accuracy. Yep, an hour of Sean Hannity will help you sort out who's telling the truth. For bonus irony, this point is fleshed out with some quotes from discredited Republican pollster Frank Luntz, whose job involves manipulating political language to obscure the truth.
And not only is the public to blame for all that lying–they're taken it out journalists!
Instead the public increasingly takes issue with those who deliver the facts. Gallup recently recorded the highest levels of distrust in the media since it began measuring this sentiment in 1998. Only 40 percent of the country, including just 26 percent of Republicans and 31 percent of independents, express a great deal or a fair amount of trust in the mass media to report the news fully, accurately and fairly. "In the past, the press effectively played the role of umpire," explains Chris Lehane, a Democratic campaign consultant who served as press secretary of Al Gore's 2000 campaign. "Now they are effectively in the bleachers."
But maybe the real problem isn't that the public has no love for "those who deliver the facts." It might be–as Lehane says–that they don't think journalists actually do that.
Time wants us to think long and hard about political lying, that much is clear. And they want us to conclude that the apparent increase in political lying is basically our fault.

Netherlands made it two wins out of two in Group B as they emerged with a 3-2 victory from a hard-fought encounter with Australia.
- Honigstein: Dutch courage against Socceroos
- Brooks: Australia gain belief but no points
- Van Gaal impressed with Australia
- Postecoglou draws positives from loss
Louis van Gaal's side were in high spirits after beginning their tournament by demolishing Spain 5-1 but Australia, defeated 3-1 in their opener against Chile, took the game to their opponents from the off.
The Socceroos' high-tempo approach looked to be paying dividends until, with 20 minutes on the clock, the in-form Arjen Robben broke free around the halfway line and raced clear before slotting home the opener.
The advantage lasted barely a minute, though, as Tim Cahill cannoned a stunning volley in off the underside of the crossbar to bring the Socceroos level.
Early in the second half, Australia's position improved when Oliver Bozanic, freshly introduced from the bench, clipped in a cross that struck Daryl Janmaat's hand. The referee deemed the Dutchman guilty of handball and pointed to the spot, and Mile Jedinak confidently converted.
Once more, though, the advantage did not last: Robin van Persie -- who, like Cahill, will miss his side's final group game after collecting a booking -- smashed in an equaliser before the Australians had had a chance to settle.
Australia might have restored their advantage when Tommy Oar had a clear sight of goal, but he opted to cross for Mathew Leckie, whose improvised effort with his chest was easily collected by goalkeeper Jasper Cillessen.
The Dutch duly advanced upfield and Memphis Depay, a replacement for the injured Bruno Martins Indi, unleashed a long-range shot that caught Socceroos goalkeeper Maty Ryan off guard and found its way into the net to secure the win.
A slow start was ignited by Robben, who received the ball just inside his own half, swerved past Alex Wilkinson at the halfway line and burst into the box. The Bayern Munich forward then despatched a clinical finish across goal for his third of the tournament.
The Socceroos responded almost immediately with a goal reminiscent of memorable strikes from Dutchmen Marco van Basten and Van Persie. Right-back Ryan McGowan drilled a cross-field pass over the Dutch defence and Cahill's exquisite left-footed volley went in off the bar in what is sure to be remembered as one of the goals of the tournament.
Mark Bresciano had the chance to convert a ball pulled back from the right soon afterwards but could not keep his shot down.
Cahill blotted his record by bundling over Martins Indi to receive a yellow card. The defender was substituted with an ankle injury, with Depay replacing him and Netherlands switching to a 4-3-3 formation.
Van Persie will miss the Dutch side's contest with Chile, meanwhile, after being booked within two minutes of the resumption for catching Matthew Spiranovic with a flailing arm.
Eight minutes into the second half Bozanic, on moments earlier for Bresciano, had a cross blocked by the arm of Janmaat and Algerian referee Djamel Haimoudi awarded a penalty. Jedinak sent Jasper Cillessen the wrong way.
There was another quick response as Van Persie was played onside in receiving Depay's pass, turned and found the roof of the net. Tempers frayed following a challenge from the already-booked Van Persie on Jedinak before Leckie was unable to convert for the Socceroos.
Seconds later Australia were behind as Depay's 30-yard strike swerved away from Ryan.
Nigel de Jong had a shot blocked as Netherlands tried to find a fourth in an end-to-end contest. Australia had opportunities, too, but could not find a leveller as their hopes of reaching the knockout stages ended.

Rep. Collins: Trump's 'looking out for the American people'

Some House Republicans have voted to separate wall funding from bills that would reopen the government. But Rep. Doug Collins, R-Ga., tells Judy Woodruff that the "vast majority" of congressional Republicans want to keep the government shutdown tied to funding a border wall, and that he believes Democrats are prioritizing the well-being of people crossing the border illegally over Americans.

Cop killer dies in prison
The man convicted of murdering Reno Police Officer John Bohach was found dead in his prison cell late Friday.
Larry Peck was convicted of first degree murder, use of a deadly weapon and resisting a police officer with a weapon in 2003.
Bohach, 35, was shot and killed with a high-powered rifle while working with other officers to set up a perimeter outside a house following a pursuit.
Peck was stopped for a traffic violation but fled the scene in his vehicle.
After Bohach was shot in the chest, the Reno Police SWAT team stormed the house and arrested Peck.
Prosecutors asked for the death penalty but the jury sentenced him to life in prison without possible parole.
Prison officials said Peck, 62, was found unresponsive in his cell at Northern Nevada Correctional Center Friday night.
He was transported to Carson-Tahoe Hospital where he was pronounced dead. The cause of death was not immediately available.
Deputy Director of Corrections Brian Connett said no foul play is suspected in the death.
He said Peck's next of kin have been notified.

Originally posted at Capital Gains and Games.
One of the last things the House did last week before leaving Washington for five weeks was to spend time and energy defining legislative masturbation.
At least that's the inescapable conclusion when you read H.R. 6169, the "Pathway to Job Creation through a Simpler, Fairer Tax Code Act of 2012."
That bill, which passed 232-189, supposedly would set up a fast-track process for tax reform by requiring the House Ways and Means Committee to report a bill by April 30, 2013. The full House would then be required to vote on whatever the committee approved within a month.
This was total nonsense and an absolute waste of the House's time and taxpayer money. Even if H.R. 6169 were considered and passed by the Senate (which the leadership knew would never happen), there's no way that a comprehensive tax reform bill will be adopted that quickly in the House or, as the House-passed legislation requires, that a final bill will be sent to the White House by the end of the summer 2013.
The last comprehensive tax reform effort in 1986 took two years from start to finish and, given that there's even less consensus now than there was then about what to do and Congress is far more partisan today than in the 1980s, there's absolutely no reason to think that it will require any less time now.
And, as CG&G alum Pete Davis, who was a staffer on the Joint Tax Committee in the 1980s and helped draft the 1986 act, always reminds me, it took a full year just to draft the transition rules back after there was a general agreement about what should be done.
Tax reform means eliminating existing credits and deductions and that means that those that get them will fight like hell to prevent it from happening. More important, it also means that the House and Senate members who have strong feelings for those credits and deductions and the industries, companies, communities, individuals, and charities that get them have to vote at least once against eliminating them so they can demonstrate their love and support (and justify campaign contributions) before they vote for a package that does just that.
In case it's not immediately obvious…that's the exact opposite of a fast-track process.
On top of everything else, there's no penalty for missing any of the deadlines in H.R. 6169.
In other words, all the House did was something that made it feel better but accomplished nothing.

Tanaka continues rehab by throwing in outfield
NEW YORK -- Masahiro Tanaka played catch again on Thursday at Yankee Stadium, tossing in the outfield at distances of 60 and 90 feet.
The right-hander, who is hoping to avoid Tommy John surgery by rehabbing a partially torn ulnar collateral ligament, will stay with the team through this part of his rehab. The Yankees are aiming for Tanaka to make a September return to the big league rotation.
Manager Joe Girardi said that Tanaka is scheduled to travel to Baltimore with the team next week, where he will continue his throwing program.
Girardi said that Tanaka's next step would be to increase his throwing distance to 120 feet. Bullpen sessions and Minor League rehab games would follow if Tanaka has no further issues.
"Hopefully, there's a point where we have to send him on rehab starts, but right now he's going to stay with us," Girardi said.

http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/news/story?id=2545968Titans rookie White brawls with teammate at practice
Associated Press
CLARKSVILLE, Tenn. -- Rookie running back LenDale White got into a brawl Thursday morning with a teammate at the Tennessee Titans training camp.
The rookie out of Southern California, who fell to the 45th pick in the draft overall in April, started clashing with the defense on a running play. He was walking back toward the huddle when bumped.
White walked back, and safety Donnie Nickey pushed back at the rookie with his helmet. A recording by a television cameraman picked up linebacker Keith Bulluck yelling that White had spit in Nickey's face.
A few plays later, White couldn't catch an outlet pass from Matt Mauck when hit by rookie Cortland Finnegan.
Nickey ran upfield and shoved White in the back. White elbowed safety Vincent Fuller amid more pushing and shoving. Nickey threw at least one punch before a group of players were separated, and he walked off, took off his helmet and threw it on the ground.
That prompted an angry response from coach Jeff Fisher. Practice ended a few plays later, and Fisher called the team together on the field for a brief speech before letting them leave.
"It's hot out -- last day out here," Bulluck said. "We're just getting after it."
White, who dropped into the second round after questions about his weight and inability to run before the NFL draft because of a torn right hamstring, has been working behind Chris Brown and Travis Henry in the rotation at running back.
White walked by reporters as he left the practice saying: "No comment, no comment, no comment."
Nickey, a three-year veteran out of Ohio State, also declined to comment.

LANCASTER, Pa. (AP) - More than 300 people were forced to change their plans for Thanksgiving dinner because of a fire at a downtown restaurant in Lancaster.
The Intelligencer Journal/Lancaster New Era reports (http://bit.ly/TT2MAe) a clothes dryer in the basement of The Pressroom Restaurant caught fire Thursday as restaurant workers were preparing the 13 turkeys that were to be served for dinner.
General manager Larry Hershey said fire was confined to the dryer but smoke filled the establishment and water from the building's sprinkler system sprayed everywhere.

Why Home Inspection Services Benefit Both Buyers and Sellers
Where will we be without some practical professionals who can keep our buildings safe?
Home inspection service is a prerequisite when making a home purchase.
While most people consider inspection as something a buyer does to protect their investment, it is actually a necessity that helps buyers and sellers.
Let's dive in a few points so you're clear why this is happening.
# 1: Home Inspection Services Prevent Buyers From Mistakes
A buyer will kick themselves for the next 30 years if they forget the examination.
A home inspection gives the buyer the opportunity to have a house viewed from top to bottom by a professional. These professionals will test the building structure, in addition to utilities and inner work.
This is a small price to pay for your peace of mind and allows you to feel confident when buying a property.
Getting inspections also opens the floor to negotiate prices and other considerations.
# 2: Inspection Protecting Liability And Money Exchange
The home inspection service definitely protects the sellers as well.
The last thing you want is to think that you're flipping the house, just to lend the mortgage back at the last moment.
Now you have taken your home from the market with no money to show for it.
It is quite possible if a problem is found inside the property that keeps the creditor alert. Having your property checked thoroughly before listing it, you will reduce this state.
# 3: The Seller Might Avoid Big Mistakes
When selling a home, it is possible that you need to inventory the house so that you take full advantage of it.
Getting one of the front-end inspections allows the seller to be on the safe side.
For example, you may find that the type of kitchen table or wallpaper is outdated. You can get home checked with a value based approach as well so you do not leave money on the table.
You can replace your landfill if necessary and get an inspection of your kitchen plumbing infrastructure to avoid potential problems during sales.
# 4: It speeds up the sales process
Time is the essence for buyers and sellers, so getting home inspection services is definitely positive in this regard.
The sooner the buyer feels comfortable that they are not buying lemons, the sooner they will be ready to sign on the dashed line. Likewise, real estate agents draw up detailed content marketing plans to earn substantial ROI and fast sales.
Fast sales are great for sellers, so it's best to be as transparent as possible and check in early.
When all investigative actions are taken care of, the land of negotiation is laid out and the buyer and seller some step closer to resolution.

Bosnia Closer to Peace
A new constitution is set to streamline the three-headed government of Bosnia and Herzegovina this month. The old system—in place since the 1995 Dayton Accords ended the bloodiest fighting Europe had seen since WWII—had separate presidents for Serbs, Croats, and Bosniaks, along with fourteen education departments. The new plan features one president and—eventually, it is hoped—a strong parliament and prime minister, both crucial steps toward eventual European Union membership. Bosnian Serb leaders have also vowed to intensify the search for two accused war criminals, Radovan Karadzic and Ratko Mladic, who have been at large in the Serb community ever since a UN tribunal indicted them more than ten years ago.
FEMA Cuts Off Evacuees
Rental assistance for refugees from Hurricanes Rita and Katrina is due to end today, despite the Federal Emergency Management Agency's initial promise that support would last one year. Cities like Houston, which quickly lined up 24,000 yearlong leases for the displaced, may be left footing the bill. FEMA revised its original policy last November and plans to replace the subsidies with direct payments to individuals, but critics charge that the program is so marred by bureaucratic problems that evacuees will be stuck with no way to pay rent.
First World Baseball Classic
Sixteen nations will face off in six venues around the globe in the inaugural World Baseball Classic, which culminates on March 20 in San Diego. The tourney has forced many foreign-born Major League Baseball players to decide between their adopted and native countries, and forced the Bush administration to decide between the forty-year-old embargo on Cuba and the much- anticipated grudge match between the U.S. team and the reigning Olympic gold medalists.
9/11 Conspirator Faces Death
Opening statements begin today in the death-penalty trial of Zacarias Moussaoui, the only 9/11 plotter to be convicted in the United States. Moussaoui pleaded guilty to conspiracy last April, claiming involvement not in the 9/11 attacks but rather in a planned second wave of hijackings that would have flown a 747 into the White House. Prosecutors will try to prove that Moussaoui, already in custody at the time of the attacks, could have prevented them by sharing details with the FBI. If the jury agrees, the French citizen of Moroccan descent could be sentenced to death.
VHS vs. Beta, Round 2
First came videocassettes, then DVDs. Now cineastes are girding for a new battle in the "format wars" over high-definition DVDs, which hit stores today and will shake up the $26 billion domestic DVD market. As with the VHS-Betamax battle in the 1980s, a showdown looms between HD-DVD, pioneered by Toshiba, and Blu-ray discs, being developed by Sony, Samsung, and Pioneer. Toshiba may gain the upper hand via its earlier debut, lower-priced equipment ($500 for a low-end HD-DVD player compared to $1,000 for a similar Blu-ray model), and backward compatibility with standard DVDs.
Orange Revolution on the Rocks
The hopeful days of orange-clad youths protesting Ukraine's corrupt, Russian-backed regime in the streets of Kiev are over, replaced by bitter infighting. Many of President Viktor Yushchenko's Western-friendly reforms have stalled due to intra-party squabbles, especially with the populist, left-leaning former Prime Minister Yulia Tymoshenko. Fired last September after accusations of corruption, she has retaliated with similar charges against the administration and now leads a strong opposition party going into today's elections.
Libya's Solar-Powered Tourism
Libya's tourism industry has, perhaps not surprisingly, struggled to revive itself since UN sanctions against the onetime terrorist-coddling dictatorship were lifted in 2003. But at last the stars (or, rather, the sun and the moon) have aligned. Experts have determined that the best view of today's full solar eclipse may be had after a four-wheel-drive trip deep into the Sahara Desert, where the eclipse will last longer than anywhere else in the world—more than four minutes. Fewer Westerners are likely to witness this year's event than saw the last eclipse, in 1999, which was visible in Europe. Those who find Libya a bit too sandy can catch a briefer glimpse in Brazil.

I can see that most of you enjoyed the two chibi girls I submitted from Pokemon, Dawn and Misty. I am however surprised that chibi Dawn did better than chibi Misty. I guess it's just personal preference. Up next today I am going to upload two more Pokémon figures that are going to be in chibi form. I think I'll start by showing you "how to draw chibi Brock", step by step. Now Brock has been around since forever, and he has made a lasting impression that will bring him recognition almost everywhere. Making a chibi version of Brock was so awesome because he looks like the grown up version, just a little smaller and cuter. In general I do think that you will have a blast with drawing chibi Brock because he was a lot of fun to make. I will return with more fun stuff to tackle so stay tuned in folks, because the day is just started as you can see. Adios mi amigos, and peace peeps!

Vladimir Gershonovich Drinfeld

|Main Index
|Biographies index
Vladimir Drinfeld was born into a Jewish mathematical family. Gershon Ikhelevich Drinfeld (29 February 1908-18 August 2000) was educated at Kiev University and was head of the Mathematics Department at Kharkov University from 1944 to 1962. By 1950 he was deputy director of the Kharkov Institute of Mathematics but it was closed in that year on the orders of Stalin. Gershon Drinfeld also played a major role in the Kharkov Mathematical Society. He worked on differential geometry, particularly on measure and integration.
Vladimir Drinfeld's mathematical career started early ([11] or [12]):-
Drinfeld has written his first published paper when he was a schoolboy. He proved there a nice result in the style of Hardy's classic treatise "Inequalities" and solved a problem to which R A Rankin devoted two notes. This paper still makes interesting reading.In 1969, at the age of fifteen, he represented the Soviet Union at the International Mathematical Olympiad in Bucharest, Romania, and was awarded a gold medal after obtaining full marks - an incredible achievement. He studied at Moscow State University from 1969 until 1974. He graduated in 1974 and remained at Moscow University to undertake research under Yuri Ivanovich Manin's supervision. Ginzburg writes [5]:-
[Drinfeld's] vision of mathematics was, to a great extent, influenced by Yu I Manin, his advisor, and by the Algebraic Geometry Seminar (Manin's Seminar) that functioned with regularity at Moscow State University for about two decades.Drinfeld completed his postgraduate studies in 1977 and he defended his "candidate" thesis in 1978 at Moscow University. The "candidate" thesis is the Russian equivalent of the British or American Ph.D. However, despite being extraordinarily talented, it was difficult for Drinfeld to obtain a position in Moscow. There were basically two reasons for this. Certainly his Jewish origins meant that he suffered from anti-Semitism, but officially the Soviet Union operated a policy that people had their addresses in their passports and were only allowed to work in the town which appeared in this address. Since the address which appeared in Drinfeld's passport was not Moscow, he could not get a job there. He went to Ufa, an industrial centre in the Ural mountains, where he obtained a position teaching mathematics at Bashkir University, one of several universities in the city. In 1981 he moved to Kharkov and lived with his parents. He obtained a position working at the B I Verkin Physical Engineering Institute of Low Temperatures of the National, part of the Ukrainian Academy of Sciences, in Kharkov.
Drinfeld gave an important lecture at the International Congress of Mathematicians in Berkeley in 1986. Entitled Quantum groups, the talk reviewed the results obtained by Drinfeld and M Jimbo on Hopf algebras (quantum groups). He discussed the concepts of quantum groups and quantization, and also talked about Poisson groups, Lie bi-algebras and the classical Yang-Baxter equation. In 1988 Drinfeld defended his "doctor" thesis at Steklov Institute, Moscow. The "doctor" thesis is the Russian equivalent of the German habilitation. On 21 August 1990 Drinfeld was awarded a Fields Medal at the International Congress of Mathematicians in Kyoto, Japan:-
... for his work on quantum groups and for his work in number theory.A Jaffe and B Mazur write in [2] about Drinfeld's work which led to the award of the Fields Medal:-
Drinfeld's interests can only be described as "broad". Not only do they span work in algebraic geometry and number theory, but his most recent ideas have taken a strikingly different direction: he has been doing significant work on mathematical questions motivated by physics, including the relatively new theory of quantum groups.Manin ends his address to the International Congress of Mathematicians in Kyoto, Japan (which he could not give in person but was read by Michio Jimbo) with these words:-
Drinfeld defies any easy classification ... His breakthroughs have the magic that one would expect of a revolutionary mathematical discovery: they have seemingly inexhaustible consequences. On the other hand, they seem deeply personal pieces of mathematics: "only Drinfeld could have thought of them!" But contradictorily they seem transparently natural; once understood, "everyone should have thought of them!"
I hope that I conveyed to you some sense of broadness, conceptual richness, technical strength and beauty of Drinfeld's work for which we are now honouring him with the Fields Medal. For me, ie was a pleasure and a privilege to observe at a close distance the rapid development of this brilliant mind which taught me so much.Drinfeld's main achievements are his proof of the Langlands conjecture for GL(2) over a functional field; and his work in quantum group theory. Although he only proved a special case of the Langlands conjecture, Drinfeld has introduced important new ideas in his solution and made a real breakthrough. He introduced the idea of an elliptic module in his proof and this notion is leading to a whole new topic within number theory. The interactions between mathematics and mathematical physics studied by Atiyah led to the introduction of instantons - solutions, that is, of a certain nonlinear system of partial differential equations, the self-dual Yang-Mills equations, which were originally introduced by physicists in the context of quantum field theory. Drinfeld and Manin worked on the construction of instantons using ideas from algebraic geometry.
Chari and Thakur write [3]:-
Drinfeld introduced Drinfeld modules and solved a substantial part of the Langlands programme when he was just 20 years old and completed the GL(2) case when he was 24. Drinfeld's work on Langlands conjectures, quantum groups, p-adic uniformizations etc. illustrate his mastery over powerful and involved techniques. On the other hand, his one page proof (jointly with Vladut) giving a sharp asymptotic upper bound for the number of points of a curve defined over a finite field of order p(2n), uses only high-school algebra applied nicely to well-known results. He also gave a one page proof of the fact that any rotation invariant finitely additive measure on the two or three dimensional sphere is proportional to Lebesgue measure by using a clever combination of known results.In 1992 Drinfeld was elected a member of the Ukrainian Academy of Sciences. He continued to live in Kharkov until 1998 when he emigrated to the United States. In December 1998, he was appointed to the University of Chicago. On Drinfeld's appointment to Chicago, Manin said [10]:-
Drinfeld's work deeply influenced the world of mathematics of the last two decades, Several research monographs, Seminar Notes and hundreds of papers were dedicated to the two new chapters of mathematics created by him - the so-called Drinfeld modules and quantum groups.Alexander A Beilinson, also a student of Manin's, was appointed to the University of Chicago in 1998, just a short time before Drinfeld. Beilinson and Drinfeld had known each other for many years and had already collaborated on two papers before becoming colleagues in Chicago: Affine Kac-Moody algebras and polydifferentials (1994) and Quantization of Hitchin's fibration and Langlands' program (1996). Their collaboration in Chicago led to the publication of a jointly authored book Chiral algebras published by the American Mathematical Society in 2004. Francisco J Plaza Martin writes in a review:-
This book presents a comprehensive approach to the theory of chiral algebras from the point of view of algebraic geometry. Without a doubt, it will become a standard reference on the subject. ... Chiral algebras arose in mathematical physics in the study of conformal field theory. On the mathematical side, the local theory of chiral algebras overlaps the theory of vertex algebras [R E Borcherds], which are normally studied with representation theory techniques. In these two approaches the "operator product expansion" formalism plays an essential role. As the authors say, their motivation for studying chiral algebras was the understanding of geometric automorphic forms in the D-module setting as well as the description of a spectral decomposition of the category of representations of an affine Kac-Moody algebra.One of Drinfeld's most recent articles is Infinite-dimensional vector bundles in algebraic geometry: an introduction. Drinfeld writes in the introduction to the paper:-
The goal of this work is to show that there is a reasonable algebro-geometric notion of vector bundle with infinite-dimensional locally linearly compact fibers and that these objects appear 'in nature'. Our approach is based on some results and ideas discovered in algebra during the period 1958-1972 by H Bass, L Gruson, I Kaplansky, M Karoubi, and M Raynaud.Drinfeld was named Harry Pratt Judson Distinguished Service Professor at the University of Chicago on 1 March 2001. In 2008 he was elected to the American Academy of Arts and Sciences.
