...Underdogs are always taken lightly when they should not be, just like The New York Giants, anyone can get anywhere with risks and perseverance. Lessons learned from underdog stories are simple find a way to use resources provided to succeed, never envy what another team has, and others doubt can be useful for motivation. Underdog teams have to work with no skills and dangerous gameplans that, with one mistake, can fall apart. Gladwell believed that risky strategies such: as the full court press, are for desperate coaches and players with no basic skills. I agree with Gladwell, dangerous strategies are desperate but, coaches use them to have an opportunity to win, to put the team in the best...

...down 5%. Not bad. They were down 2% year-on-year last year. They were down 1% year-on-year in 2009. And they had a record year for sales in 2008. There’s a pattern there. The percentage reduction is doubling each year. When I said, “so you’ll be down 10% next year and 20% the year after that, right?” Bookseller said, “probably.” If you are an Amazon watcher, there are patterns like this everywhere. The company is nothing if not deliberate and systematic in everything it does. When unexpected things happen, Amazon, unlike most companies, does not immediately respond with knee-jerk PR damage control. As Bezos said during an interview a while back, the company is willing to be misunderstood and endure temporary PR blowback. The larger gameplan is too important. Which is why the current furor over the price comparison app, and the related #OccupyAmazon reaction, is unlikely to elicit any dramatic responses from Amazon. Where other companies might respond with overwrought displays of contrition and dramatic conciliatory gestures, Amazon will likely do the minimum necessary, wait out the storm, and move on. Amazon dealing with its market is the corporate equivalent of a patient, low-reactor parent dealing with a child throwing a...

...5-point lead to start the 4th quarter. Marquette Catholic came out firing to start the 4th quarter, but the eagles were able to keep them tight. With 20 seconds left in the game the game was tied. It was coming down to the wire when senior Maurice beat his man off the dribble and had a chance to win the game again, but he was fouled going up for the shot and the foul wasn’t called. The game ended up going to overtime. Head coach brent Brobston was not happy with the call, but put that behind him. The eagles played great in overtime, but Marquette Catholic wouldn’t let them pull away. The game again came down to the wire when senior Maurice Knight got another shot on goal and this time hit it. Marquette Catholic called a timeout to get a gameplan on how to send it to another overtime or win it. When the timeout was called the whole gym erupted with cheers and screams. Everywhere you looked you saw red. When the timeout broke almost every single fan was on their feet cheering hoping this would be the final plan that ended it all or sent them to the State finals. Marquette Catholic tried to set a screen to get their best player open, but Frankton was already all over the play. He chucked a miracle shot and airballed it. The whole entire crowd erupted and went nuts. We were headed to the State Finals for the 2nd time in 3 years. I bet you the whole town of Frankton was celebrating that night because I know that I was. Then, one week later it was time for the big game. Everyone was...

...20 Things Financial Institutions Should Do (But Don’t) Here are 20 priorities for retail financial institutions. This is what some are doing, but most others can’t, don’t or won’t. To some this might seem like a list of “duhs” — things that seem obvious, but nonetheless go ignored or unaddressed. What would you add to the list of marketing opportunities and low-hanging fruit for financial institutions? 1. Differentiate Any financial institution that looks like, acts like, or sounds like other banks and credit unions can’t complain when they are forced to compete on rates, fees and price. Differentiation is the key to a strong brand. 2. Personal communications You hear financial institutions bragging about how personal they are all the time, but Tim McAlpine, President of Currency, wonders how often they send handwritten thank you cards for loans, mortgages and renewals. How often do your employees make phone calls to customers thanking them for their business? Imagine how much love you could buy with a simple expression of appreciation. How many direct marketing messages do you send that start with “Dear Valued Customer…?” 3. Mobile solutions If your financial institution isn’t offering some form of mobile banking service currently, there had better be plans underway or you risk falling behind competitively. Demand for services like remote deposit, SMS, and apps for smart phones and iPads is growing rapidly, and are quickly becoming common consumer expectations. (See also...

...Our life has a Destiny. There is no Accident. God has Great Plan for our life. God’s Game Plan (Sport game?)I realized that when we play team game sports, it is important to have a game plan. In order for you to be victorious in a game, there must be a plan. God has a game plan in our life. But the problem is we also have our own plan. The same with our life we need to learn to follow the game plan of God in our life for us to be victorious and successful. Pero ang tanong is kaya ba natin mag follow and submit sa gameplan ng panginoon sa life naten? But the problem to many Christian’s today is that have our own game plan. Pero kahit anong gawin natin ang plano parin ng diyos ang mananaig sa life natin. Psalms 33:11 But the plans of the LORD stand firm forever, the purposes of his heart through all generations. Whatever the plan that we have, it will never change the plan of God.- Many People bargain the plan of God because we thought we can change the plan of God.- Tapos nagtataka ka bakit kung bakit yung life mo hindi victorious, kasi hindi mo iniimbrace ang plano ng Lord sa life mo. Kasi feeling natin mas matalino tayo kay Lord. (revised version) - Isaiah 55:8-9 We could compare the plan of God in our plan it is different (napakalayo) 8 “For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways,” declares the LORD. - 9 “As the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways and my thoughts than your thoughts...

...9-508-076 REV: APRIL 14, 2008 ELIE OFEK Sony PlayStation 3: Game Over? [W]hen you look at the history of the video game industry since the PlayStation was launched back in 1995, we were able to take the leadership position very quickly with the PlayStation. With PlayStation 2 we have more than 110 million gamers and consumers enjoying the PlayStation 2 on a worldwide basis. And I think we have a very loyal following for the PlayStation family of products. So with the PlayStation 3, I believe that we are going to be able to quickly take the leadership position once again and maintain that position for a very long time. — Kaz Hirai, President and CEO, Sony Computer Entertainment of America, November 17 20061 It was a picture that was reminiscent of the launch of the original PlayStation nearly a dozen years before. Some eager customers had arrived as early as 6am and from as far as New Jersey to a video game store in Manhattan with the hope of purchasing one of the newest and most sought after video game consoles. By 9am, the number of customers waiting for entrance to the store exceeded 100 and the line extended down the block. One customer in line had been searching stores across the region for two weeks in order to find a console for her brother’s twenty-fifth birthday. A twelve-year-old and his grandmother were visiting their third store in search of the new console. “I just hate what you have to do just to get one,” the boy said.2 In one sense, long...

...Positions on the Soccer Field There are 11 positions on the soccer field, but they always fall into four broad categories. Even in smaller games, the number of players in each category may change, but by and large, the positions do not. The Goalkeeper The goalkeeper is the only player allowed to use his hands and that can only occur within the confines of the penalty area. There are never more that two goalkeepers on the field at any time — one on each team. The goalkeeper’s uniform is different from the rest of his team’s to make it obvious which player may use his hands. The jersey, often with long sleeves, is colored to clash with the others. And since the 1970s, goalkeepers have worn gloves to both protect their hands and enhance their grip on the ball. Some of the best goalkeepers in the world are Gianluigi Buffon of Italy and Iker Casillas of Spain. The Defenders A defender’s primary duty is to win back the ball from the opposition and prevent them from scoring. Teams play with anywhere from three to five at the back and each member of the defense tends to have a different, yet equally important duty. The defenders stationed in the center of the back line (known as central defenders or center backs) tend to be some of the taller and stronger members of the team since they so frequently have to win the ball in the air. They go forward very little, except on set pieces, and hold a position of great responsibility. The defenders on the flanks (known as wingbacks...
