...[pic] NOVEMBER 10, 2004 THE GREAT INNOVATORS By Mike Brewster | | | | |Mark McCormack, Superagent | |The founder of IMG managed and marketed athletes from Arnold Palmer to Monica Seles in a way that changed the game profoundly | In a famous scene in the 1996 film Jerry Maguire, the sports agent played by Tom Cruise is goaded by his client, played by Cuba Gooding Jr., to repeatedly scream into the phone "Show me the money." By the time that film came out, however, the role of the sports agent had long since been transformed into one far more sophisticated than simply negotiating contracts. And while screenwriter Cameron Crowe based the Jerry Maguire character on agent Leigh Steinberg, it was Mark McCormack who ushered in the modern era of sports management and marketing. McCormack, founder of International Management Group (IMG), believed the popularity and marketability of athletes could transcend borders, cultures, language, even sports itself. McCormack-managed athletes were the first to endorse clothing, watches, and motor oil. They played exhibition matches around the world (you can thank McCormack for golf's...

...besluiten om van de stad naar het platteland te verhuizen, naar een klein, afgelegen dorp. Daar komt ze in contact met Hanneke en via haar met 3 rijke, verwende getrouwde vrouwen (Patricia, Babette en Angela) en hun mannen. Alles draait om luxe en ze vormen een hechte vriendenclub, de eetclub. Alles verloopt vredig totdat Evert, een volwaardig lid van de eetclub, plotseling gek wordt en tot slot zichzelf en zijn gezin wil ombrengen door zijn huis in brand te steken. Zelf komt hij om het leven maar zijn vrouw (Babette) en de kinderen ontkomen. Vanaf dat moment spreekt de vriendenclub elkaar dag en nacht en wordt er heel wat afgeroddeld. Dan, een krappe week na de dood van Evert, springt Hanneke van het balkon. Iedereen is geschokt en niemand had dit verwacht. Behalve Karen gelooft iedereen, inclusief Hanneke’s man, dat Hanneke zelfmoord heeft gepleegd. Karen kan niet geloven dat Hanneke gesprongen is. Ze gaat op onderzoek uit en komt steeds meer te weten over de geheimen van haar ‘vrienden’. Karen blijkt haar vrienden helemaal niet zo goed te kennen als ze altijd dacht en bij haar vrienden lijkt hun hele leven te draaien om geld, genot en eer. Hanneke ging vreemd met Evert, Kees (man van Angela) heeft het gedaan met Babette en Simon (man van Patricia) heeft zowat elke vrouw zijn bed in gekregen. Zelfs Karen zelf heeft het moment dat Hanneke zelfmoord pleegt een buitenechtelijke relatie met Simon. De recherche speelt vuil spel en maakt Hanneke zwart tegenover haar vrienden. Hierdoor...

...control of the government in order to bring possible stability (Halliday,1364). "But the communist regime is staying, she said; 'Najjbullah is the Soviets puppet president. He's not going anywhere. No the War go on. This is not the end.'"(Hosseini, 153). Although the Soviets left Afghanistan, there wasn't any peace yet. The goal of the Taliban is to reject the previous revolutionaries doctrines and actions (Halliday, 1377). The rise of the Taliban was a result of a lack of empathy with a group of people that went through such horror (Everts, 88). The Taliban's regime was swept out by a coalition force in order to make the people in Afghanistan feel safe (Everts, 88). The terrorist attacks cause the people from southern and western provinces to Kabul to panic because it is spreading at a progressive rate (Everts, 90). The rise of the Pakistani Taliban has made the problem worse because of the Taliban's influence (Everts, 92). " They're forcing young boys to join, he said. The Mujahideen are. In plain daylight, at gunpoint. They drag boys right off the streets" (Hosseini, 254). The people are trying to make themselves safe by fighting back risking punishment. ...

...self-manipulation, but it can also be used to describe manipulation of or by a sexual partner, exclusive of sexual intercourse”, people speak of it as if it is a secret(“Masturbation” Encyclopedia). ‘Why?’ the question some people may wonder. It is because masturbation is an immoral act. Masturbation is an immoral act because it denies a chaste life and gives a false sense of what sex is about. Masturbation also leaves a feeling of emptiness leading to actual sex or chronic masturbation. Masturbation denies a chaste life that was meant to be saved for both God and spouse for after marriage. It denies this chaste life because a chase life is “having the strength to use your sexuality according to God’s plan… [doing this] glorifies God with your body” (Evert 17). God gave everyone the gift of virginity to be shared with another who will also share their own gift of virginity. This was the original plan God had in mind, and whenever God’s plan is carried out it makes Him happy. Others may argue that “the Bible does not actually address masturbation directly… that much of the religious opposition to masturbation is based on an interpretation of a biblical passage about a man named Onan who used the withdrawal method to prevent pregnancy… [Realistically, masturbation is] really just a matter of personal conviction, as there is no scientific evidence that masturbation is harmful” (Friedrichs).What Friedrichs is trying to say is that masturbation is a-oh-kay. She is saying that it is ok for people...

...their perspective, it is morally wrong to engage in sexual activity outside of a committed marriage. Thus, abstinence-only is seen as the only logical and morally correct option if sexual education has to be taught to teens in public school. As an international chastity speaker and member of the religious community, Jason Evert echoes that idea by arguing that "the idea that only you can choose the right time to become sexually active is pervading the curricula” (“What Abstinence Education Gets Right”). Evert’s use of the word pervading indicates that the idea of choosing when to have sex for the first time is the main topic that is being talked about in these programs. Since he is an advocate for abstinence-only education and chastity, he implies that this is inherently wrong because there is only one right time to have sex: after marriage. However, that is not a decision for Mr. Evert or even parents to make. It is up to teens themselves to decide when they will first have sex. If teens do ultimately decide to engage in sexual activity before marriage, it is better to prepare them with all the facts to make them well-informed, responsible individuals. Evert fires back by arguing that “one cannot simultaneously deliver a convincing abstinence message while explaining how to practice “safe” sex” (“What Abstinence Education Gets Right”). Those who agree with him claim that comprehensive sexual education is giving mixed messages to teens and will ultimately lead them to have...

...For the love of grade, I said yes to volunteering. Had it not been given as an opportunity for Theology Class incentives, I wouldn't have attended. Well, as far as I can honestly remember that's how my attitude to this event was. I didn't know anything about Evert and I got no romance issues. All I know then was that Catalyst has been organizing a part of this love talk series and that I had a bitter loveless February. And because the only preparation I got for this big event was the orientation for the volunteers (which were only of logistics and ushering/crowd control instructions), I did not know what to expect of the talk. It turned out though, I'd thanked that cold shrug. I appreciated my self not peeping through trailers and coming there with nothing but my self as an usher. Why so? I was rewarded with an experience and a not-so-fresh-message good as new! Contrary to what was the common notion of talks where everyone seems to make the 15-min attention span rule as an excuse, the talk was farthest from boring. In fact, I had lost track of time. Everyone was like 'It's done? That's it?' by the unanticipated end. I guess none even looked at his watch because all were glued on their seats – ears and eyes to Jason and his fun and lively speech. That was about more than 2 hours. Kudos to us attentive crowd yet more salute to Jason who kept more than 7,000 people locked on and with minds open to a highly sensitive issue. So what was so interesting of this Chastity talk? ...

For example, in book 18 Odysseus meets Irus who is a beggar of the palace in Ithaka. Irus gets intimidated by Odysseus and he says this city is not big enough for the both of us. Odysseus does not take Irus words too kindly, and punches him right in the jaw. Irus jaw is broken completely with blood evert where. After that Odysseus goes on a killing spree staring with the suitors. For example, Homer writes: “You Thought I will never would return from Troy; and so you dogs you sacked my house, you forced my women servants to your will and wooed for wife in secret while I was alive”...

...The Pinto Ford case was generated in the 1970’s thru 1980’s when the company was building small impact cars which has issues related to the fuel tanks discharging and causing the cars to explode. This was the largest evert reported. There were several lawsuits against Ford. It is to my belief, Ford knew that the gas tanks had problems and they ignored the warning signs, because they well in the requirements of government regulations (Leggett, 1999). It is my opinion, the Ford Company was thinking more on cost then the safety of their customer’s wellbeing. The cost of correcting the gas tank problem, would force the company to suffer millions. In the case Grimshaw v. Ford Motor Company, a customer and her son were traveling while being hit...

...people in the world. Pope Francis reaches out to the world also by evangelizing to all people; not necessarily just the Catholics around the world, but also the non-Catholics. Pope Francis is so simple and down to earth and he has such a big heart, towards everyone; especially the poor, that he not only draws in the non-Catholics, but also the non-religious and the fallen away Catholics (Evert 1). “Pope Francis has helped people discover why God has given them these difficult teachings, there have even been numerous conversions because of Pope Francis, but there has also been a lot of confusion” (Evert 1). The confusion has mainly taken place in the minds of the people throughout the entire world. This happens particularly when Pope Francis evangelizes or shares the word of God, with the entire world; in which the way the pope evangelizes doesn’t affect anything, in this certain situation at least. “if some people work to consider only with the media and friends say, they would think that Pope Francis has changed the teachings of the Catholic Church, which happens to not be allowed” (Evert 1). However, some people still think that Pope Francis still has a huge impact; positively, towards many people in the world, even though he may have done things ‘differently’. The fact that hand, is that there’s a higher majority of people that see the positive effects Matthew then the wrong effects and how Pope Francis literally came up with the ideas to make the certain decisions for the...

...Case Reports in Pediatric Dentistry Edited by Evert van Amerongen Maddelon de Jong-Lenters Luc Marks Jaap Veerkamp Quintessence Publishing Co Ltd London, Berlin, Chicago, Tokyo, Barcelona, Beijing, Istanbul, Milan, Moscow, New Delhi, Paris, Prague, São Paulo, Seoul and Warsaw Foreword It is essential that clinicians treating children have a high degree of awareness and knowledge of a wide range of oral conditions to optimize the dental care for their patients. Some of these conditions are commonly encountered whereas others are rather infrequent, thus giving the practicing dentist limited experience to build up diagnostic and treatment skills. The latter may concern, for example, different types of developmental disturbances such as hypodontia or disturbances of mineralization of dental hard tissues, as well as pathologic conditions in oral mucosa and bone. Of great interest in increasing knowledge and clinical experiences is the case reports/presentations, which, unfortunately to a limited extent, are published in pediatric scientific journals. This book has been produced in an attempt to overcome this and to give dentists involved in clinical dentistry for children an opportunity to a systematic approach in continuing education in diagnostics, indications, treatment, and follow-up of cases that could be seen in their own practices. In this book, 16 cases treated by experienced clinicians are presented, including case history, examination, diagnosis, indications for...

...interview process, the heart of the pastor is discipleship, and discipleship is beginning to show up in the leadership, but the large membership core has not grasped the intentionality of church to move in the direction of the discipleship. Spiritual Growth of members In order for discipleship to come easy and spiritual growth of Christians to happen, more biblical relational environments require development. This is where personalized discipleship and spiritual growth of others happen so that disciples are foster and new disciple-makers are launched. This can happen in many of the church programs as the shift from social gathering or teaching opportunity shifts to intentional purpose of building relationships and spurring on spiritual growth (Everts & Schaupp, 2008). This is not about scrapping all the programs that are already in place but shifting it from program to purpose. For example, small groups can be a social gathering without much purpose, but if they are “designed specifically to promote discipleship” (Little, 2013); they now have a clear purpose. These small groups now become biblically centered, intentional about the spiritual maturity of its members, and where a safe place is developed where relationships develop and open conversions about life and Jesus happen. FBC is currently revamping its small group purpose and structure to more intentional breeding for discipleship and spiritual growth. Not only in the small group setting, but each program can move to purpose with...

...Until today, United States Postal Services Inc. is the largest package delivery company in the world in terms of delivery scale. The company delivered more than 10 million packages to millions of destinations in 200 countries. The company has been around exactly a decade in 2007. It was established in Seattle in 1907 by the 19 year old Jim Casey. It was not until 1919 that Jim Casey and his partners Evert McCabe and Charles W. Soderstorm decided to establish the name United States Postal Services because the business has been expanding outside its home city (Friedman, 2006). The company is created with the basic perspective that the best services combined with lowest rates will win the market’s attention. Since the beginning, leaders of the company managed its staff by stressing the value and importance of reliability, low rates, customer courtesy and round the clock services. The business culture remains at the core of UPS activities until today. Today, the company is the one of the most recognized symbols American capitalism with $42.6 billion worth of assets and more than 400,000 employees (Friedman, 2006). I chose to use the United States Postal Service, because I was employed with them for five years. I made a change by leaving the company, but I often regret my decision. The Postal Service was a really good company to work for and diversity was a huge conception, in the area I worked and lived. In reviewing diversity management of a company, it is important to have both...
