He was also competent in his ability to lead other artists to leave Marvel Comics and to accomplish their goals of starting a new company. 2. How have global competition and technology advances changed business conditions and leadership challenges? Many business meeting was performed behind closed doors which prevent the everyday citizen from knowing what is going on in the world. Now with things like Facebook, twitter, and MySpace have changed business conditions and leadership challenges since whatever you do now is judged in the court of public opinion. Public Opinion can destroy a person. Would Barry Bonds, Mark McGuire, Sammy Sosa or Roger Clemens be in the Baseball Hall of Fame if not the public belief that they all used drugs during the baseball...

...Christopher C Lang Professor Adam Penna ENG101 Freshman Composition 13 April 2014 Ninth Inning Treason Flashing back to the incomplete collage of photographic memories I have resting in my mind, one that has always remained a part of my history that I’ll pass down to my children someday, is my first professional baseball game. I’m a bleeding heart New York Yankee fan, but didn’t really know how tight my loyalties would become at the age of 8. I was at a New York Mets game with my father, and they took on the Pittsburgh Pirates at the late Shea Stadium in Queens, NY. I even caught my first foul ball there, ate my first ballpark hotdog, and caught my first glimpse of the purity of a game that I played around my block, and on the field with my little league team and friends. It was a game that seemed immortal, a game that every young kid looks for a role model, and wishes he could have such an opportunity to become a star athlete. It’s a dream that we could be handsomely compensated for a game that has an essence of goodness and passion, innocence and integrity. I wasn’t much at this time, just a kid, and a kid that would eventually be proven wrong beyond his wildest dreams. Fast forwarding to present day, being a baseball fan today has a different feeling of ambiguity surrounded with unpredictable circumstances. For every player that seems to exemplify the portrait of a role model to children who worship them, there’s always another who doesn’t receive a glance when they...

...Tainted Idols In today’s society the use of drugs to enhance one’s performance is becoming a common trend in professional sports. These drugs help athletes to compete at a higher level. Not only do these professional athletes break many records and win trophies, they are making more money than ones who choose not to use performance enhancing drugs. Since salaries have increased in professional sports, so has the use of these drugs. While performance enhancing drugs were apparent in the past, they have become increasingly evident in the modern era, tainting the integrity of professional sports. The use of performance enhancing drugs has been around for many years. In World War II these drugs were given to German soldiers to increase their strength and aggressiveness (Edwards, 2006). However, these drugs became evident in the 1960 Olympic Games after a Dutch cyclist died. In 1963, a ban was placed on a list of prohibited drugs by the International Olympic Committee to prevent performance enhancing drugs from being used in sports. This list of prohibited drugs has grown substantially since (King, 2009). Even though there is growing evidence of serious health risk that come along with the use of performance enhancing drugs, they are still being produced and used at a rapid rate. Others would argue that use of performance enhancing drugs dates back thousands of years. There are stories of athletes ingesting ground horse hooves and sheep testicles for ancient Olympic Games to gain...

...form of steroids. Jose Consaco was the first player (to my knowledge) to come out and admit to his use of the drug by way of writing a book. He even went so far as to name, names of certain players he knew was using the drug. Once the story broke many was quick to discredit the book and what Mr. Consaco stated about the using of steroids in Pro Baseball. The non-believers quickly stated that he didn’t have any real facts, no evidence to show or support anyone using the drug and just his statements to say otherwise. So far nearly over a decade numerous pro players continued using the drug. Gaining an unfair advantage over other pro players and making the playing field unleveled. Players like Barry Bonds, Mark McGwire, Rodger Clemens and Sammy Sosa are some of the high profile players to be suspected of steroids use. My being from Northern California found myself rooting for the San Francisco Giants, one of two bay area teams. During that era the San Francisco Giants had a player named Barry Bonds. Who in the Bay area could do no wrong! Filling the stadium with fans who wanted to see nothing more than...

...Solution to Chapter 2 Internet Project Data on the Internet Note: In exercises 1 and 2 the data for the year 2000 is used. Exercise 1 Using the daily mean temperatures, compute the range and standard deviation in temperature for San Francisco in January 2000. Answer The mean daily temperatures for each of the days in January 2000 as compiled by the Weather Underground are 50.8 48.5 47.8 55.9 52.1 47.8 47.7 50.5 51.3 52.4 54.1 49.6 50.5 52.6 53.9 56.4 50.5 52.8 55.5 55.3 52.4 53.6 54.6 56.2 54.4 51.5 50.5 50.3 51.1 54.9 52.6 . For this data n = 31 ∑ x = 1618.1 ∑ x 2 = 84653.61 so the mean and standard deviation are x= 1618.1 = 52.20 31 and s= 31(84653.61) − (1618.1) 2 = 2.54 . 31(30) Exercise 2 The National Football League uses a long list of criteria to determine if a city is a candidate to host the Super Bowl. One such requirement is that the city either must have a domed (i.e. heated) football stadium or that the average temperature in January for the city must be 50o F or higher. San Francisco does not have a domed stadium. Based on the January 2000 data, would San Francisco satisfy this Super Bowl eligibility criterion? Answer Yes, since the average from Exercise 1 is 52.20. Exercise 3 Which graph below best represents the performance of Microsoft stock during the first four months of 2000? Answer Graph B shows the history of Microsoft stock prices over the indicated period. Note the data is graphed in the form it is provided on the Yahoo! finance site so that January...

...Todd McFarlane had a drive that no one could take from him. He was task-oriented because of his ability to assemble a group of people to leave Marvel and build with during the peak of their careers. He was an opportunist such as when purchased the three million dollar ball and combined it with hits from McGwire and Sammy Sosa to create the ‘McFarlane Collection’. He inspired others such as the 6 men he took with him to start his own company. Even though he received 300 rejection letters, he didn’t give up. He was determined and focused because even after he didn’t succeed as a major league ball player, he was still determined and focused on coming out on top. He was a very big risk taker, and was definitely rewarded for it. Many businesses would conduct business “behind the scenes” or in private, keeping the people from knowing about what was going on in reality. Because social media has developed and advanced into Twitter and Facebook, nothing is a secret anymore. Even more so, a lot of leaders must become more technologically savvy in order to keep their businesses going. This in turn calls for competition and being ahead in the game. Everything that is put out on the table is judged by others; and a lot of times, people’s opinions can sometimes ruin someone. Todd McFarlane was a very smart man. I loved how his determination, bravery, and drive got him where he wanted to be. Entrepreneurs and risk takers are very well rewarded in the end. This in a way reminds me of myself...

...Why steroid users should be allowed into the baseball Hall of Fame? The argument is simple and it’s about time for Cooperstown to open the doors to those who have admitted to or have been accused of using performance enhancing drugs or steroids. Ending the witch hunt: Baseball voters are trying to determine whether or not to vote on players these days based on crimes that players may have or not have committed years ago. Some baseball voters have stated that they would vote for players in the steroid era but they would not however vote for anyone found guilty. It’s hard to know who did cheat and who didn’t cheat in the so called steroid era but if one were to gain entry into the sacred hall then the door will open up for others based on their merits. Saving the Hall of Fame: Baseball has always been called America’s game and the Hall of Fame for baseball enthusiast has always been a destination. In 2013 the Hall of Fame only inducted 1 person in and he had not played in over 130 years. The induction ceremony takes place in the summers and it was always a place to go and honor your favorite players and learn about ones prior to them. As a new generation of fans grow up and the players form the late 90’s and early 2000’s are not in the hall fans will likely not make the trip to the place where legends are remembered. The Hall of Fame is a place to honor the greatest that have ever played the game. It is based on what a player does on the field. People agree that the...

(ballislife.com). In these cases thing always change because athletes do this in every sport then when caught never know what to say or how to apologize for their actions. Sports should be something that is fun and not something were you cheating your competition by medicine instead of hard work in the gym. In sports when athletes go down the wrong route there careers are affected when caught and sometimes universities are punished for their actions if the university knew about the drugs all along.

...Matt Banary Barry Bonds Steroid Use The article that I chose to write about goes in to Barry Bonds and his usage of steroids in the MLB. Barry Bonds started taking steroids in 1998 and continued on doing so throughout his baseball career. Bonds started to get stronger and hot more and more home runs while he was on the use of steroids. He eventually beat Mark McGwire’s single season home run record (70) and hit 73 home runs. This spectacular accomplishment what short lived because Barry Bonds was caught with taking to types of performance enhancing drugs, Cream and Clear and Trenbolone. To make things worse he lied in front of a federal court saying he did not take steroids and that in fact he did take them. During the year we talked about a topic like this in chapter 6. That performance enhancing drugs has had a long history in the professional sports and that much substance abuse constitutes a form of deviant over-conformity. Deviant over-conformity consists of subnormal ideas, traits, and actions that indicate an uncritical acceptance of norms and a failure to recognize any limits to following norms (ch.6 pg. 159). Barry Bonds taking performance enhancing drugs is a good example of this because he was unable to accept the norms and limits for taking performance enhancing drugs. He did not care that it was illegal as long as he was one of the best and he continued to play in the game he loved. Ironically I believe that steroids were a good reason why he...

...Cheating. It’s a word that can trigger reactions of an unlimited variety. A roll of the eyes, a shake of the head, or a hand raised in class are all common. Less forgiving, are the reactions of professional sporting associations, olympic committees, or even the Federal Government. Fines, suspensions, and even banishment from ones chosen craft are becoming more and more common. Students plagiarize, songwriters steal copyrighted work, and politicians all over the world are rigging elections. But why cheat? Is cheating ever justified? I personally believe that cheating is never justified, because at the end of the day the biggest victim of cheating is the cheater himself. The conscience is a very powerful thing. Even if the cheater is never caught, he will still live the rest of his life knowing he has been anything but genuine to those around him. For the purpose of this essay I will focus on cheating in professional sports, as these incidents tend to be the most well known and widely reported. There’s a saying in sports, “if you’re not cheating, you’re not trying.” We’ve all heard the stories - performance enhancing drugs, point shaving, deflated footballs, the pumping-in of additional crowd noise - all have become commonplace in the world of professional sports. But what is the incentive to cheat in sports? Winning, of course. Winning brings fans through the door. Winning puts money in the owner’s pockets, which in turn puts money in the athlete’s pockets. Sure, the records...

...“His voice as tight as a fist. Opening at the end of a bar. Not on the beat, over it, playing with it, splitting it like a jazz man, like Miles Davis. Turning on the right phrase and the right song, which is where he lives, where he lets go, where he reveals himself. His songs are his home and he lets you in. But you know that to sing like that you've gotta have lost a couple of fights. To know tenderness and romance you've gotta have had your heart broken”- Bono on Frank Sinatra Few will argue with the statement Bono made at the 1994 Grammy Music awards while presenting Frank Sinatra with the lifetime achievement award. In fact, Sinatra said it was “the best introduction he has ever received.” Few will be able to argue because from a musical standpoint, there is no denying the greatness of Frank Sinatra for it is impossible to ignore the impact that Sinatra had on the entertainment industry. The controversy does not arise from the debate regarding his greatness as an entertainer, but as his greatness as a human being. The question regarding the greatness of any human being will never be answered. Human beings will never be in agreement as to what makes one “great.” Virtues and qualities held as the criteria for greatness for some people will be deemed by others as insignificant. Without having any interaction with a person for ourselves, the closest that we are able to come to a decisive answer on the greatness of a man is to examine his life with regard to what...

...The Boondocks -vs- Consumerism Consumerism is normally something that Americans associate with our economy or large corporations, but it has definitely gone beyond just these two concepts. In today’s society, consumerism has managed to spread to movies, songs, advertisements, and more importantly to television shows. Consumerism has been defined by Dictionary.com as, “a modern movement for the protection of the consumer against useless, inferior, or dangerous products, misleading advertising, and unfair pricing.” Aaron McGruder’s, episode of the animated Cartoon Network show, The Boondocks “The Block is Hot,” is about how a heat wave comes to the town of Woodcrest in the middle of the winter. A neighborhood girl named Jazmin starts a lemonade stand, which is bought by a businessman, Mr. Wuncler. Meanwhile, 10-year old political activist, Huey, stands on a soap box and talks about violations of human rights issues. Through these features, one can see how consumerism plays a role in this television show. Because this episode has the distinctive features most animated television shows have, of addressing real issues by exaggerating them, having recurring characters that the audience is familiar with and having a conflict or problem that is usually solved by the end of the episode, it demonstrates how consumerism isn’t just associated with our economy or large corporations. In, “The Block is Hot,” Aaron McGruder displays a distinctive feature that most animated television shows...
