...After analyzing the case study, Is the Rookie Ready? Tim should hire Alessandra due to her flexibility and strengths. Currently Tim is in a situation where he needs to provide software for the Hybara Casino before the start of the New Year with a time constraint of two weeks, with newly appointed team manager Kristen that hasn’t developed a firm command of her team. Tim needs to determine whether or not Kristen can handle the situation on her own or hire Alessandra to take command and secure the deal with the Hybara Situation. Although Kristen seems able to complete the task, the assignment is being rushed and will undoubtedly result in some errors. As a newly promoted team manager she has the current job of gathering the respect of her team and by presenting this issue to her team it puts her in an unprofessional position even though vacations are subject to the business’s needs. Currently two of her team members will unlikely join Kristen due to unavoidable constraints leaving her with only a team size of six to complete a task that would normally be completed with eight and doing this all with only two weeks of time while normally would take six weeks. Although the price of Alessandra’s services are expensive, Tim should hire her to make this situation more easily manageable and to create a healthy relationship between the business and the customer. Tim and Kristen should contact each other at the start of the next day and Tim should tell Alessandra that he would be hiring...

...Nobody (Kurt Russell) who, along with his bumbling rookie colleague (Scott Eastwood), recruits Hobbs to defeat Cipher, bring down Dom, and save all mankind. Somehow he convinces Dom's team to work for him (sure, I'll allow it...) and we are off. Letty is heartbroken, Tej (Chris "Ludacris" Bridges) and Roman (Tyrese Gibson) are bickering and vying for the affections of young computer hacker Ramsey (Nathalie Emmanuel), and everyone mocks the rookie, dubbed Little Nobody. Despite the fact that Dom's turn was essentially used in Fast & The Furious 6, when Letty had taken up ranks with British bad guy Owen Shaw (Luke Evans), and that Mr. Nobody recruits Deckard Shaw (Jason Statham), a man who killed a former member of Dom's team, everyone bands together to... Well, I'm not quite sure what the actual goal is. I mean, yes, they need to stop Cipher and end the threa tof a nuclear World War III. But are they killing Dom? Bringing him in? Trying to persuade him to turn good again? The movie never...

...After the postseason was over for the Yankees, manager Joe Torre was hired to guide the team to another World Series victory. Joe Torre requested that Derek Jeter would be the starting shortstop for the 1996 season. Yankees Owner George Steinbrenner was skeptical, but General Manager Brian Cashman convinced Steinbrenner to give Jeter an opportunity. In Jeter’s rookie year, he exceeded Torre’s expectations, batting .314, with 10 home runs, 104 runs scored, and 78 Runs Batted In. Jeter was also the American League Rookie of the Year. During the postseason, Jeter batted .361, and helped lead the Yankees offensively along with Bernie Williams. The Yankees beat the Atlanta Braves in the 1996 World Series to win their first championship since the 1978 World Series. The next year, Jeter performed slightly worse, however the Yankees made it to the postseason, where they lost to the Cleveland Indians in the American League Division Series. In the 1998 season, Derek earned a $750,000 bonus, and was selected for his first All-Star Game. The 1998 Yankees won 114 games that year, widely considered to be one of the best teams of all time. In the Postseason, they made it to the World Series...

...Gardy Brun Professor Garcia ENC 1102 March 7, 2011 NFL Lockout On February 6, 2011, one of America’s greatest sporting events took place as the Green Bay Packers executed in winning a Super Bowl. The succeeding day did not follow with celebration, but with speculation towards knowing if there would be a Super Bowl the following year let alone NFL season. The NFL players and owners are struggling to reach a collective bargaining agreement and failing to do so will result in a lockout for the 2011-2012 NFL season. A lockout basically means there will be no football for an entire season. To the general public it seems as if only the players would be affected with a lockout, but in fact a lockout would affect the many jobs of people in the NFL, the fans, and most importantly impair the country financially. The major question is how the NFL Players Association (NFLPA) and the NFL will put aside their differences in order for a NFL season to take place throughout 2011 and 2012. The NFLPA and the NFL have very much at stake if they do not come to an agreement. Both sides are apparently not meeting enough and it is effecting the progress of reaching an agreement. According to USA Today, NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell states, ‘“If there's a work stoppage of any kind, it hurts everybody’, Goodell said. ‘It hurts the clubs; it hurts players; it'll hurt the game; and, most importantly, it'll hurt our fans”’ (Leahy 04c). Roger Goodell undoubtedly believes an NFL lockout may be a detriment...

...In professional baseball, a innocent looking foul ball off the shin can look rather ordinary, leaving little to be concerned about. Of course, it always has the potential to turn into something more serious when it happens to a player who has bad luck with injuries throughout his career. That is exactly what has transpired with New York Yankees First Baseman Mark Teixeira. In a game played against the Minnesota Twins on August 17, Teixeira fouled a pitch off his shin, forcing him to exit the game in the sixth inning. At the time, much of team's attention was focused on the welfare of rookie pitcher Bryan Mitchell who just a couple of innings earlier had been hit in the face with a line drive off the bat of Eduardo Nunez. While Mitchell was helped off the field with a bloody towel held to his face,...

...Expect to pay at least $85 for a case of paint, goggle rental and a paintball marker (gun) rental for a four-hour session. Preferably, try to plan the outing when the weather is comfortable. Playing in the 100 degree Texas heat would be rough on most corporate types. On the day of the event, it is best for everyone participating to dress in layers. Being hit with a paintball does sting. Professionals recommend wearing gloves and a hat as hand shots and headshots seem to hurt the most. Wear comfortable shoes, cleats if possible, if not tennis shoes with good tread. Most often, the playing fields are on grass or dirt surfaces. Usually fields have food and drinks for sale but to be on the safe side bring water, as dehydration is common for rookie players. After arriving at the field, you then proceed to the “Staging Area”. This area typically has tables to set your equipment on. After picking up the equipment from the staff, the referee will discuss how...

...In the beginning… Early in 1984, Nike was a struggling shoe company. The running shoe phenomenon that has fueled their sales in previous years was slowly dying and they needed a way to revitalize and reinvent themselves in order to appeal to another segment of the market. At the same time, rookie player Michael Jordan was already endorsing several products, but Nike hoped that his appeal would generate sales. Jordan, though, had other ideas. He had always preferred Adidas or the Converse shoes endorsed by North Carolina Coach, Dean Smith, and hoped to sign on with either company. Converse, with Larry Bird and Magic Johnson on board as spokesmen, were not interested in offering a better deal than Nike, and Adidas wasn't interested at all at the time; perhaps due to Kathe Dassler's death the same year. While Jordan, himself, did not initially see the significance of Nike's offer, his agent, David Falk, saw a golden opportunity in Nike's offer to create a new line of shoes called "Air Jordans." and urged him to give Nike a chance. Really Not That Interested.. At that time, there was not a tremendous impact from a shoe endorsement, and few companies were willing to risk so much of their marketing budget to bet on one athlete to promote their products. An athlete as paid for wearing the products but little else resulted from an endorsement. It's possible that Jordan's reluctant attitude stemmed from this fact as much as his allegiance to Converse and Adidas products. Nike saw something...

...02/07/12 Timothy Jensen Introduction Carl Robins who is a rookie for ABC Inc. was given the task to hire 15 new employees and have them in orientation by June 15. Being that Carl was so new to his position he accepted the offer of being in charge of these employees without taking into consideration what his task really would consist of and the process of getting it done. Background On May 15th Carl receives a phone call from Monica which was the person these fifteen people would be working for. When Carl answers the phone he sounds positive toward Monica as she is kind of high through the checklist Carl with a smile on his face and laughing loudly assures her that she has nothing to worry about that everything she is asking for is already done and taken care of and that everything is ready to go for orientation day. Monica hangs up the phone relieved knowing that everything is going accordingly to plan. Once Carl hangs up the phone and starts digging through his new hire files that huge smile that he had in his face went away, it completely disappeared. His eyes grew big and his nostrils opened up and his heart started pounding as he began to sweat cold. Carl had then realized that ¾ of his new hires didn’t have an application completed. Some employees only had their first and last name on their application along with a contact number but some employees didn’t even have a contact number some just had an email address or others just a home address with no other contact info...

...me a year to figure out how to drive it. Manual cars also go by a “straight” or a stick shift. This type of car can be found frustrating to drive but, it is more fuel efficient and exhilarating to drive. Before one begins to attempt to drive a manual: one must a have a manual car, and open area large enough to drive in, and an open mind. Driving a manual car is just like driving an automatic, just with an extra metal, a gear shift, and some coordination. If one has never driven a manual before, have a trained driver drive the car to the practice area. Before starting to drive, relax, being stressed will only make the learning process worse. To begin find a safe place to drive; a place that does not have a lot of traffic and is flat. A rookie does not want to find themselves in a hilly area their first time driving a manual. To become familiar with car get in and at once put the seat belt on. Push the far left pedal in and the brake and put the vehicle in neutral, which is the center of the gear shift, and...
