...Memo The Toronto Ultimate Club (TUC) is located in Toronto, Ontario and is a non-for-profit organization that focused on growing the sport of Ultimate Frisbee (Ultimate). As a result of their previous strategic plan TUC ‘s membership has stopped declining, but the general manager Jason Robinson was still not satisfied. The competition between TUC and for-profit organizations has increased, forcing TUC to develop a new marketing plan focusing on new strategies for fiscal 2009. The alternatives TUC has are to stay with the traditional standard Ultimate rules or to modify the “house rules” like the competitors. TUC can offer additional team recreational leagues like hockey, football, etc. or stay with Ultimate. TUC has the choice to stay with recreational and competitive or add a beginner, all-woman/male leagues, as well as offer clinics and modify prices. They need to decide whether to continue sponsoring the touring teams or focus on marketing abilities in other areas. The target markets TUC should be more aggressive in are the visible minorities, young professionals and secondary school students. Toronto was one of the most multicultural cities in the world where visible minorities made up 47% of the cities population. Focusing on this segment shows that TUC cares about diversity and that this sport is open to and for anyone. TUC’s current market is focused on competitive players aged 22-40, focusing solely on young professionals in their 20’s would add to the current...

...years, I have continued to maintain my academic standards. Nevertheless, I have also made sure that I am more than an academic person. I am an active one as well. In middle school, the most popular game during lunch was a basketball game called Salt and Pepper (white vs. black). The first day of school, I stepped onto the basketball courts and was greeted by cries of consternation, "Who is he? Is he salt or pepper?" But after the game, I had made a name for myself. From then onward, I would be known as Spice, and the game we played became Salt, Pepper, and Spice. When I moved to California, things were no different. I continued to play an active part both academically and socially. My involvement with Cross-country, Speech and Debate, Ultimate Frisbee and numerous clubs guaranteed that I would not be only known as an Honors student. Like myself, Duke is much more than an academic institution; it is a living institution. I feel that I will be given the opportunity to excel both academically and socially. Duke is a university known for its rich history and strong academic program. And, at the same time, it is also known for its innovation and progressiveness. These are qualities which draw me to the college. In addition, Duke and I have a lot in common. The two most important extracurricular activities I have are a major part of Duke University. Duke's Speech team is known for its strong Extemp squad. I remember the time when my speech coach asked me what schools I was applying...

What FLO activities have you participated in this year? I went Kayaking, I participated in Assassin’s, I helped proctor Quelf for FLO’s board game night, I went to Laser tag, and I’ve gone to quite a few FLinners. 7. Please list your expected commitments for 2012-2013. School, of course, is a big commitment. I don’t know how many hours I’ll be taking, but in my experience as an Electrical Engineer (and honestly, I’m sure everybody else is like this, too), taking 14 hours requires a large investment of time. I also plan to be playing on the Ultimate Frisbee team next year, so that will take up my Monday, Wednesday, and Friday nights, as well as a few weekends throughout both semesters. I am a part of Hope 242, which is a Christian outreach group on campus, and we meet every Tuesday night for bible study. I have also recently gotten involved in the Texas e-Sports Association, which meets every other Tuesday night, and I hope to continue to stay involved with this group. 8.

...The frisbee is one of the best toys ever invented because of its versatility. People have created many games that involve using a frisbee. As stated by John Doe, the creator of the frisbee,”When I invented the frisbee I wanted the uses to be limited to the imagination of the user.” Ultimate frisbee, Tips, Can Jam, Frisbee Horseshoes, and Frisbee Bowling are just a few examples of the games people have created just for the frisbee. As a matter of fact you can play over 100 different games with a frisbee. Frisbees can be used to play many sports including Football, Golf, and Water polo.

...Ultimate Frisbee Ultimate Frisbee History Ultimate frisbee is kind of like frisbee and football mixed. The object of the game is to score points by passing the disc to a player in the opposing end zone. The ultimate frisbee begins with Joel Silver. He proposed a school Frisbee team in the fall of 1968. The following spring, a group of students got together to play what Silver claimed to be the "ultimate game experience," adapting the sport from a form of Frisbee Football. In 1979 and 1980 the Ultimate Players Association was formed. The UPA organized regional tournaments and has crowned a national champion every year since 1979. Ultimate frisbee is now called just Ultimate. Ultimate Frisbee Rules To begin play the ultimate players from each team line up on their end zones and the defense team throws the disc to the other team as a kick-off. We normally throw the frisbee far so the offensive team has poor field position and a chance for the us to get down the field soon enough to stop advances. The disc may be moved in any direction by completing a pass to a teammate. After catching a pass, a player is required to come to a stop as quickly as possible, and then can only move their non-pivot foot. A point is scored when a player catches a pass in the end zone his team is attacking. After a point is scored, the teams exchange ends. The team who just scored remains in that end zone, and the opposing team takes the opposite end zone. An incomplete pass results in a change...

...A Shopkeeper’s Millennium Understanding Paul E. Johnson went through extensive research to trace the roots of the revival in Rochester, New York. The thesis of the Shopkeeper’s Millennium is that “Evangelicalism was a middle-class solution to the problems of class, legitimacy, and order generated in the early stages of manufacturing” (p.138). Also, that is to say that the uprise of religion, along with the belief of “free will,” gave entrepreneurs the ultimate form of social control in which they could use to their advantage. I would have to agree with Johnson’s claim because of the social and economical changes he lists spurred by this religious reform. One of the reasons as why I agree with Johnson’s claim is how society was transformed during...

...a thousand horses” (Smith 193). The attributes of the steam engine and the railroad created a combination that helped move America into a different age. Transportation from one city to the next city took only hours to complete. The idea of being in another state in mere hours obsoleted the idea of having trade being only exclusive to neighboring cities. The act of rapid transportation revolutionized businesses in America. It went from small businesses to large industries. For example, a meatpacking industry in Chicago was infused with two groups of people, which were the men who collected the cattle in the prairie states and the men who distributed the cattle to the eastern states. “Here, then, was the whole point of the stockyard, the ultimate meeting place of the country and city, West and East, producer and consumer” (Smith 205). The railroad created a way for businesses to connect and form partnerships. Also, if the location became inadequate for business, then they were able to change their location. “Conditions at the Unions Stockyards were crowded, there was little room for expansion … the sensible thing to do was not invest more capital in Chicago but to set up new plants that could take advantage of more favorable conditions elsewhere” (Smith 220). The railroad developed the luxury of forming businesses in any part of the nation. Another thing that developed was structuring and scheduling. “Once within the corporate system, places lost their particularity and became functional...
