UNI BASEBALL CELEBRATES 100 YEARS OF WINNING Dating back to 1893, no University of Northern Iowa athletic team has won more games than the Panther baseball program. This season, UNI baseball opens its lOOth season with 952 wins all-time. (No baseball team was fielded in 1903-04, 1909-10 and 1943-45.) Originally begun when the school was known as Iowa State Normal School, the baseball team has represented the school when it was also known as Iowa State Teachers College and the State College of Iowa before assuming its present title in 1967. Starting in the years with Captain Avery as coach of the first two squads, the Panthers have built a program that thrives on hard­ working young men dedicated to being the best they can be on the diamond and in the classroom. Last year was no exception, as five Panthers; Ryan McGuire, Kevin Briggeman, Greg Woodin, Scott Sobkowiak and Aaron Houdeshell were named academic all-MVC by the sports information directors of the league. Over the years, the UNI baseball program has been a model of stability, with just five head coaches since 1926. L.W. Whitford, skip­ per from 1926-1965, is the second-winningest coach in UNI history with 303 victories. Following Whitford's 37 years at the helm, J.D. Anderson piloted the Panthers to 266 victories in 19 years. Current coach Dave Schrage assumed the top spot in 1991 and has picked up 182 wins in just eight years, including a school- record 32 victories in 1997. In the process, Schrage has overseen the shift to the Missouri Valley Conference, one of the top baseball leagues in the nation. Despite a rugged schedule, last season's 11 seniors departed with 112 victories as a class, the best four-year stint in the history of the program. Former major league stars Ed Watt and Duane Josephson are just two of 18 Panther players to play professionally following their time in Cedar Falls. The most recent additions to that li t are Brad Moore, Scott Sobkowiak and Todd Rima. Both Moore and Sobkowiak were selected in the Major League draft last June. A UNI commemorates its historic 1OOth season, the Panthers are aiming to continue a proud tradition as the winningest program in school history.

    1. Fast Brands: Nuevas Marcas La tierra gira a una velocidad de 1.700 km/h sobre su eje. Es decir, mientras lees estas líneas viajas por encima de la velocidad del sonido, es más, si la tierra frenase de golpe, saldríamos despedidos a esa velocidad hacia el espacio infinito. Así que si tienes la sensación que la vida va deprisa, que tu entorno cambia rápido, no olvides que tú también lo haces. Pero es cierto, que esa velocidad ha aumentado exponencialmente en los últimos años. En realidad es algo que nos estamos contagiando e incrementa nuestro ritmo. ¿Quién no se ha preguntado por qué anda rápido en el metro? ¿Por qué nos contagiamos del ritmo de los demás? Hoy nos encontramos en un entorno altamente competitivo, cambiante y extremadamente dinámico, donde las respuestas correctas son excesivamente lentas y en ocasiones sólo necesitamos ‘respuestas’. Un entorno en el que la competitividad ha aumentado, las barreras han caído y que permite que hoy cualquiera pueda ser altamente competitivo redefiniendo las reglas del juego. Basta con entrar en una categoría, cambiar las reglas, imprimir velocidad y los gigantes que estaban en ella, estarán tan pesados y lentos que difícilmente podrán seguirte. Que se lo pregunten al gremio del Taxi, al renting de coches o a las energéticas tradicionales. Este tipo de competitividad, está requiriendo un nuevo tipo de empresas, y por lo tanto un nuevo tipo de marcas. FAST BRANDS Si vemos el proceso de creación de marcas, como un proceso reflexivo en el que la estrategia nos ayuda a definir nuestro posicionamiento, valor, identidad y propuesta, es un buen punto de partida para construir una marca competitiva.

In a barrage of new TV spots and full-page newspaper ads, Nike unveiled its latest pitchman: pro golfer Tiger Woods. The Nike- crafted tag line on the ads? "Hello, World."
