...Collegiate Athletic Ass’n, 570 F.2d 320, 321 (10th Cir. 1978), aff’d, Colorado Seminary (Univ. of Denver) v. Nat’l Collegiate Athletic Ass’n, 417 F.Supp. 885 (D.Co. 1976). Because DU refused to enforce the ineligibility of several of its hockey players despite the NCAA’s declaration of such, the DU hockey team was put on a two-year probation period, all DU athletic teams were unable to participate in post-season NCAA events and have its regular season games be televised, and the University was forced to forfeit its 1973 national title. 570 F.2d at 321. Plaintiffs claimed that the NCAA violated their due process and equal protection rights through its ineligibility declaration, however the trial court disagreed, denying Plaintiffs’ motion for summary judgment in favor of Defendant’s, albeit with some conditions. 417 F.Supp. at 893, 900. Plaintiffs appealed the denial, but the 10th Circuit affirmed the trial court’s decision and ultimately held that: the “students’ interest in participating in intercollegiate athletics did not rise to level of the constitutionally-protected property or liberty interest in invoking due process guarantees; and the Association did not unconstitutionally discriminate against the University by, among other things, placing it on probation.” 570 F.2d at 321. Plaintiff Colorado Seminary owns and operates the University of Denver, which, at all relevant times, was a member of the NCAA. 417 F.Supp. at 889.

...Abstract: This paper presents a summary of Wilma Rudolph’s life, paying specific attention to the bio-social-psycho-spiritual-cultural framework discussed in SWO 351. This paper also uses a theory taken from “Understanding Human Behavior and the Social Environment” by Charles H. Zastrow and Karen K. Kirst-Ashman, 2007. This paper provides a basic overview of the framework and how it affected Wilma Rudolph’s life from childhood through middle adulthood and death. It allows the reader to grasp a better understanding of Wilma’s life by examining specific events in her lifetime that held significance in her adulthood development. Wilma Rudolph is most well-known for her extreme success in track and field. What is most ground-breaking about Wilma and her success is the fact that she was a woman succeeding in what was considered at that time a “man’s sport.” She broke many records, but most importantly was the first American woman to win three gold medals during the same summer Olympics. Wilma had faced many troubles throughout her life, from illness and disabilities to insecurities and friendship issues. However, the most difficult time in her life was not the obstacles she overcame to reach her success but the point in her life after all of that- the point when she went back to reality. Throughout this paper I will discuss how the bio-social-psycho-spiritual-cultural framework had affected Wilma throughout her lifetime, ultimately influencing the person she turned out to be...

...Rathgar, near Dublin, Ireland. He was the oldest of ten children born to a well-meaning but financially inept father and a solemn, pious mother. Joyce's parents managed to scrape together enough money to send their talented son to the Clongowes Wood College, a prestigious boarding school, and then to Belvedere College, where Joyce excelled as an actor and writer. Later, he attended University College in Dublin, where he became increasingly committed to language and literature as a champion of Modernism. In 1902, Joyce left the university and moved to Paris, but briefly returned to Ireland in 1903 upon the death of his mother. Shortly after his mother's death, Joyce began work on the story that would later become A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man. Published in serial form in 1914–1915, A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Mandraws on many details from Joyce's early life. The novel's protagonist, Stephen Dedalus, is in many ways Joyce's fictional double—Joyce had even published stories under the pseudonym "Stephen Daedalus" before writing the novel. Like Joyce himself, Stephen is the son of an impoverished father and a highly devout Catholic mother. Also like Joyce, he attends Clongowes Wood, Belvedere, and University Colleges, struggling with questions of faith and nationality before leaving Ireland to make his own way as an artist. Many of the scenes in the novel are fictional, but some of its most powerful moments are autobiographical: both the Christmas dinner scene and...

...Leadership Development Options and Approaches This is not a research paper or a sales pitch. It is a discussion document, which may help you with your thought formation on the subject of leadership development. Introduction Developing great leaders is one of the greatest challenges for current leaders. This is not only a component of succession planning, it is a obligation, in the form of passing a legacy from one generation of leaders to the next. When we accept that great leaders are not born, they are developed, we begin to think differently about how we can invest in others to grow leadership capacity. When we accept that leadership capacity drives business outcomes and our customer experience, we begin to think differently about the urgency and priority we must give to expanding leadership capacity. Today. Challenge Extend leadership capacity through a robust and innovative leadership development initiative: • Leadership team understanding. • Leadership commitment. • Connection to key business goals. • Adaptable for today’s fast changing business environment. • Outcome and results driven. Options Leadership development today is a more complex proposition than it has been in times past. The options we will look at in this White Paper are ideas, recommendations and suggestions, rather than turn-key solutions. We will look at options through a four-phase approach. We will also consider that development is hierarchical, meaning, content builds...

...outside the workplace. Girls need to be encouraged to take more male-dominated subjects at school and later at university, and to aspire to do well in their careers. Girls and boys also need to be taught equality from an early age. This education can take place in schools and career programmes and in the home. To those who argue that quotas are a good way to initiate this change, I would like to point out that artificially imposing rules has not always had the desired effect. When governments required males and females to receive the same pay for the same jobs, employers simply changed job titles to ensure that women were still paid less than men. It is my belief that employers will simply try to find loopholes to get around any such law. In summary, I do not believe that forcing companies to allocate jobs to women is the best way to...

...Chapter 1 The Dimensions of Psychology Summary: Psychology is an academic and applied discipline that involves the scientific study of mental functions and behaviors. Psychology has the immediate goal of understanding individuals and groups by both establishing general principles and researching specific cases, and by many accounts it ultimately aims to benefit society. In this field, a professional practitioner or researcher is called a psychologist, and can be classified as a social, behavioral, or cognitive scientist. Psychologists attempt to understand the role of mental functions in individual and social behavior, while also exploring the physiological and neurobiological processes that underlie certain cognitive functions and behaviors. Structuralism was the first school of psychology and focused on breaking down mental processes into the most basic components. Researchers tried to understand the basic elements of consciousness using a method known as introspection. Wilhelm Wundt, founder of the first psychology lab, was an advocate of this position and is often considered the founder of structuralism, despite the fact that it was his student, Edward B. Titchener who first coined the term to describe this school of thought. Functionalism formed as a reaction to the structuralism and was heavily influenced by the work of William James and the evolutionary theory of Charles Darwin. Functionalists sought to explain the mental processes in a more systematic and accurate...

...POLYTECHNIC UNIVERSITY OF THE PHILIPPINES 1 Chapter 1 THE PROBLEM AND ITS BACKGROUND Introduction Governance, politics and nation building: such serious terms that before were for adults only. It is because enough capacity, maturity, experience, strength and vitality are needed to perform these heavy tasks. Democracy in the Philippines contributed in paving the way for almost everyone to take part in these noble duties. Every Filipino is free to participate, support and lend a hand towards greater moral, social and economic achievement. With the freedom that we have, the youth had also been trained and entrusted to perform such duties for years, in hope and belief that they are the future builders of this country. This has been a part of our culture and politics. In fact, Philippines pioneered the youth participation in local governance which means that our country has been investing in young people for decades. Thanks to that famous line of our great national hero, “The youth is the hope of the nation.” Perhaps, that very line of Dr. Jose P. Rizal is what inspired the creation of Sangguniang Kabataan. Former Philippine President Ferdinand Marcos believed in the capability of youth in leadership when he enshrined youth participation in politics. The Kabataang Barangay (KB) or “Village Youth” was a youth organization at the grassroots level created in 1975. A decade after, Sangguniang Kabataan or SK has been POLYTECHNIC UNIVERSITY OF THE PHILIPPINES institutionalized in relation...

...Effects of Mega Events on Host Country’s Image: Image of China after the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games Abstract Mega events have intrigued the academia because of the huge impact they have on the host countries. Not only do mega events catalyse urban regeneration, they also have the ability to command international media’s attention. Furthermore, nations have been known to use mega events such as the Olympic Games, FIFA World Cup, and World Fair to rebuild image and draw in tourists to serve the economic development of the region. While the Olympics are one of the most studied mega events, most of them emphasise on the Western perspective probably because only three out of twenty-six Summer Games have been held in Asia. The most recent one is the 2008 Beijing Olympics, which is the focus of this research. In particular, this study aims to explore China’s image change after the event and the influencing factors that contribute to the change. One’s perception and image change are emotional and subjective; therefore, this research can gain a better insight through qualitative approach. Twenty participants from sixteen countries were recruited and interviewed for 20-30 minutes regarding the Beijing Olympics and related news around that time. The findings showed that China achieved moderate success in rebuilding its image in the economic and technological aspects. Many interviewees were impressed by its organising ability and modernisation. However, China failed to change...

The Oregon-based Nike corporation was forced to pull its “Chamber of Fear” promotion, based on a Bruce Lee movie, after an outraged public objected to the image of a U.S. athlete defeating a kung fu master.

...C h a p t e r 1 Prewriting GETTING STARTED (OR SOUP-CAN LABELS CAN BE FASCINATING) For many writers, getting started is the hardest part. You may have noticed that when it is time to begin a writing assignment, you suddenly develop an enormous desire to straighten your books, water your plants, or sharpen your pencils for the fifth time. If this situation sounds familiar, you may find it reassuring to know that many professionals undergo these same strange compulsions before they begin writing. Jean Kerr, author of Please Don’t Eat the Daisies, admits that she often finds herself in the kitchen reading soup-can labels—or anything—in order to prolong the moments before taking pen in hand. John C. Calhoun, vice president under Andrew Jackson, insisted he had to plow his fields before he could write, and Joseph Conrad, author of Lord Jim and other novels, is said to have cried on occasion from the sheer dread of sitting down to compose his stories. To spare you as much hand-wringing as possible, this chapter presents some practical suggestions on how to begin writing your short essay. Although all writers must find the methods that work best for them, you may find some of the following ideas helpful. But no matter how you actually begin putting words on paper, it is absolutely essential to maintain two basic ideas concerning your writing task. Before you write a single sentence, you should always remind yourself that 1. You have some valuable ideas to tell your reader,...

...the national setting, Philippines ranked second and third to the last in the English and Math National Achievement Test result (National Framework Plan for ICT’s Basic Education, 2005). The cause of this drastic decrease in the performance of the students was supported by a study conducted by Acido (2010) who identified students in public high school in Manila who performed low due to poor study habits. In the local setting specifically in Davao City, Nacito (2006) and Azarcon, et.al. (2004) found that Grade Six students enrolled in Piedad District of Toril S.Y. 2005-2006 as well as the Freshmen students of Erico T. Nograles National High School both need to improve their study habits due to their low academic performance. In addition, college students of the University of Mindanao, where the researcher is currently studying, observed that most of the students lack study habits. It is due to these alarming issues that the researchers see the necessity to conduct this study that would thereby determine the relationship between motivation and study habits of Maa National High School Students.
