This thesis investigates how these two leagues have achieved this success by exploring both the external, environmental factors that influence each league, as well as the internal, strategic resources that each league leverages to create value. Using the findings of this investigation, this thesis proposes a new model for value creation in professional sports that considers the fundamental elements of professional sports organizations, how those elements interact, and how leagues can evolve to capitalize on those interactions in order to maximize economic and social value.

BRINGING PENANCE BACK TO THE PENITENTIARY: USING THE SACRAMENT OF RECONCILIATION AS A MODEL FOR RESTORING REHABILITATION AS A PRIORITY IN THE CRIMINAL JUSTICE SYSTEM JOHN CELICHOWSKI, O.F.M CAP.* INTRODUCTION In recent years, many Americans have become familiar with the names of places where the power of evil and the depths of human depravity have been revealed in their fullness: Littleton, Rwanda, Kosovo, Sierra Leone, and East Timor. Others, however, have experienced the shadows of the human soul in ways less graphic but more terrifyingly personal than the pages of the New York Times or the vivid imagery of CNN could ever convey. They have encountered these shadows in the form of crime in cities and suburbs, in neighborhoods and on highways, and in the workplace as well as in the home. They have endured * Pastor, St. Benedict the Moor Church, Milwaukee, Wis.

  • Art of the X-Files
    On May 19th 2013, fans of The X-Files were given a rare treat; a chance to spend time with the minds behind the art of The X-Files. The event, held at the iconic Egyptian Theater in Los Angeles, and celebrated by the Art Directors Guild Film Society, the American Cinematheque, and The Hollywood Reporter, brought together production designer Corey Kaplan (The X-Files, Scandal, Cold Case, Robbery Homicide Division), writer-producer-director Vince Gilligan (The X-Files, Breaking Bad, The Lone Gunmen, Harsh Realm) and Creator-Writer-Producer-Director Chris Carter (The X-Files, Harsh Realm, Millennium, The Lone Gunmen). Moderated by production designer John Muto (Home Alone, River’s Edge, Terminator 2 3-D), the event presented the art and design of The X-Files by screening “Je Souhaite” and “Triangle” and included a panel discussion. What made this event unique is that as a television viewing audience, we often celebrate and obsess over actors, and at times writers and producers. We become deeply connected to the characters and to the story of the hardships they face. However, the world that is created by the Art Department under the guidance of the Production Designer often goes unmentioned. This is likely due to the ability of the visual medium to submerse the viewer into an environment so compelling that we momentarily suspend belief. We forget the complexities of set design and construction, of picking out the right costumes and maintaining outfit continuity, of choosing makeup that both enhances the character yet seems realistic, of creating convincing special effects, and the arduous search for the perfect location.
