Having just completed a successful quarter, he looks forward to reviewing the global enterprise’s performance and discussing business plans for the year. As the meeting begins, the global executive team of nine corporate officers discusses overall performance. Cargill has experienced declining annual operating earnings since 2011 (Exhibit 1). Some business units have performed well; however, changing customer preferences, political and regulatory uncertainty, macroeconomic challenges, and reinvented customer business models have eroded overall enterprise earnings and led the global executive team to consider what changes are necessary to reclaim performance. Exhibit 1: Over the last six years, operating earnings have been suppressed compared to FY 2011. -

An Analysis of the American Outdoor Sport Facility: Developing an Ideal Type on the Evolution of Professional Baseball and Football Structures
AN ANALYSIS OF THE AMERICAN OUTDOOR SPORT FACILITY: DEVELOPING AN IDEAL TYPE ON THE EVOLUTION OF PROFESSIONAL BASEBALL AND FOOTBALL STRUCTURES DISSERTATION Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Chad S. Seifried, B.S., M.Ed. * * * * * The Ohio State University 2005 Dissertation Committee: Approved by Professor Donna Pastore, Advisor Professor Melvin Adelman _________________________________ Professor Janet Fink Advisor College of Education Copyright by Chad Seifried 2005 ABSTRACT The purpose of this study is to analyze the physical layout of the American baseball and football professional sport facility from 1850 to present and design an ideal-type appropriate for its evolution. Specifically, this study attempts to establish a logical expansion and adaptation of Bale’s Four-Stage Ideal-type on the Evolution of the Modern English Soccer Stadium appropriate for the history of professional baseball and football and that predicts future changes in American sport facilities. In essence, it is the author’s intention to provide a more coherent and comprehensive account of the evolving professional baseball and football sport facility and where it appears to be headed. This investigation concludes eight stages exist concerning the evolution of the professional baseball and football sport facility. Stages one through four primarily appeared before the beginning of the 20th century and existed as temporary structures which were small and cheaply built. Stages five and six materialize as the first permanent professional baseball and football facilities. Stage seven surfaces as a multi-purpose facility which attempted to accommodate both professional football and baseball equally. -

They set out from St. Ignace, in what is now, Michigan to explore the Mississippi River. On their return, friendly natives told them of a shortcut: Take the Illinois River to the Des Plaines River. Portage a few feet in today’s Lyons, and then take the Chicago River to Lake Michigan. The Chicago Portage has been the crucial link between the Upper Great Lakes and the Mississippi River. When French explorer Robert de La Salle surveyed the strategic importance of this connection, he is said to have stood where the river meets Lake Michigan and stated, “This will be the gate of empire, this the seat of commerce.” Northern Illinois or Baja Wisconsin? A major challenge for a young United States in the early 1800s was getting across the Appalachian Mountains. In those days, water was the easiest way to travel. The big city in the east was Philadelphia, with a great port on the Delaware River. Not surprisingly, the big city in the West was Cincinnati, on the Ohio River. The water route inland--going by way of New Orleans--was long and America wanted a faster way to the west. At that time, the Upper Great Lakes had their own navigation problems: Niagara Falls and rapids in the St. -

This publication may be reproduced in whole or in part provided the source is fully and clearly acknowledged. ISBN 1-877265-67-5 Published August 2008 Water of Leith, Kaikorai, Waitati and Carey’s Creek i Foreword To help protect water quality, the Otago Regional Council (ORC) carries out long- term water quality monitoring as part of a State of the Environment programme. To supplement this information, targeted and detailed short-term monitoring programmes are also implemented in some catchments. This report provides the results from more detailed investigations carried out in three catchments: Water of Leith Kaikorai Stream Waitati River and Carey’s Creek The Water of Leith and Kaikorai Stream are both located in Dunedin and drain typical residential and industrial areas. Both watercourses have many stormwater outfalls which compromise water quality. The Waitati River and Carey’s Creek have little development in their catchments. The upper catchments are forested while lower in the catchment, pasture dominates. Water quality is generally very good. This report forms a baseline study from which ORC and local community programmes can work together to address various issues in the catchments. It is hoped that these catchment programmes will promote environmentally sound practices which will sustain and improve water quality.
