The cultural disconnect was that drastic. France, because of its colonies, half the team is black. There was a serious disconnect between the players and the staff. When I was a rookie, we had 3 meetings: one to manage your money, one for security matters, one to handle lovers. All this was meant to protect the NBA brand, the corporate brand. We’re athletes, but we’re more than athletes. I would love to see these corporations consider athletes as individuals, just as they consider themselves.

  • Sample Surveys Test Review SOLUTIONS/EXPLANATIONS – Multiple Choice Questions
    Sample Surveys Test Review SOLUTIONS/EXPLANATIONS – Multiple Choice questions Correct answers are bolded. Explanations are in red. 1. Ann Landers, who wrote a daily advice column appearing in newspapers across the country, once asked her readers, “If you had to do it all over again, would you have children?” Of the more than 10,000 readers who responded, 70% said no. What does this show? (A) The survey is meaningless because of voluntary response bias. Explanation: Voluntary response bias is powerful – it means only people with strong opinions about the topic will respond. It will always give meaningless information for that reason, no matter what the “characteristics of her readers” include. (B) No meaningful conclusion is possible without knowing something more about the characteristics of her readers. (See above) (C) The survey would have been more meaningful if she had picked a random sample of the 10,000 readers who responded. This is nonsense. If she picks a random sample of the 10,000 people, these are the people who voluntarily responded. It then becomes a biased random sample and is still meaningless. (D) The survey would have been more meaningful if she had used a control group. Also nonsense. How do you have a control group with a voluntary survey? “Hey, you, please DON’T take this survey.” (E) This was a legitimate sample, randomly drawn from her readers and of sufficient size to allow the conclusion that most of her readers who are parents would have second thoughts about having children. NOT random, hello. 2. Which of the following are true statements? I.

  • FIRST DESCENTS in the CATSKILLS First Descents Conjure
    Vol. XXXIII, No. 1 JANUARY - MARCH, 2000 FIRST DESCENTS IN THE CATSKILLS First descents conjure up images of high-altitude mountaineering with all its challenges, hazards and hardships. How can there be first descents in the Catskills when all the peaks have been climbed and descended in all conceivable directions? First descents on skis? It's possible that a lot of the trails have been descended in this manner. But, descend from the summit by bushwhacking on skis and there's a good chance of achieving a first descent. A review of skiing history will help us understand how we can manage to ski trailless, steep, wooded terrain. Skiing is thousands of years old, but turning skis was not part of the game until the 1860s when Sondre Norheim of Norway figured out that if he had a twisted root cable going around the heel of his boot, he'd have more control of his destiny. He also invented turning techniques, such as the telemark (Nordic/downhill) and Christiana, to complement his equipment innovations. A whole new world opened to him because of his newly-acquired control. No longer restricted to flat terrain and ski jumps, he could venture into the hills and mountains. Others wanted to be part of this new sport with the result that there followed an explosion in ski, binding and boot design. Eventually, it was discovered that even greater control could be gained if the heel was locked to the ski. Norheim's free-heel telemark turn techniques fell into disuse. What remained of Nordic/downhill skiing was the classic cross-country skiing on flat or easy terrain familiar today, with steep terrain being descended with alpine (heel down) equipment.
