Recently, the IOC voted to remove baseball and softball from the Olympics Games.  They will appear in Bejing, but not in London.  The sports will be able to reapply for the 2016 games.  \n\nThe committee may choose from a wide variety of sports to potentially replace baseball: squash, karate, gold, rugby, and even ballroom dancing have been considered.\n\nNetball is RECOGNIZED by the International Olympic Committee as conforming to the Olympic Charter.  Therefore it is one of the most likely sports to be considered for possible Olympic implementation.

1. For example if the business is dealing with any other country like US or Pak, the business will depend on the political relations between the that country and India.\n\n2. Same way, the policy of the Govt. (i.e. budget, incentives, subisidies, etc) also change with the change in the political scenario. This also affects the way the business is managed.\n\n3. Currently the govt. is considering to enter the reservation system in the private sector businesses. This also will affect the HR policies, quality of firms HR , etc.\n\n4. If the govt. changes it is affected (For ex. Now the Left parties like CPM are opposing the disinvestment decisions taken by NDA govt.)\n\nHope u got it. :-)

You need a lot of things behind you to win an Olympic bid.\n \nBriefly they are:\nA good organizing & bid comittee to lobby the IOC. Political & public support in your city. Support from large industries and business in your city and in your country that want to host an Olympics.\nYou need to have good event facilities or plans to build such facilities.\nYou also need an international airport nearby and have good road and rail transport systems.\nOh and have an established pashion for sport in your country.\nIt is a large team effort that requires unity from many groups within a city. Hope that helps.

While I would be more concerned about health concerns in LA then Athens, it appears Environmental Lead pollution may be a cause of\nsome concern in addition smog, carbon monoxide.\nUntil certain EU regulations, most of the silverware\nin Italy and Greece had some degree of lead.\nRural Greece and its various islands are not as\npolluted. For the most part Greece is not a heavily polluted nation.\n\nKeep in mind, they hosted the 2004 Olympics.

Um...Every Olympics...Most recent Olympics was Winter Olympics in Turin, Italy, 2006.\n\nAdded:\nOK..OK... I think I realize what they are asking now....The last time they actually gave out actual Gold "gold medals" was in 1912. Now it is just gold plated silver for the "gold medals".\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Olympic_Games#Olympic_champions_and_medalists

Not much effects on economy or social well beings..\nThis is because one party employs 'whips' to enforce bench members to 'aye' the motion, even though he/she felt differently..\n\n...if u know what I meant...

That is quite a stretch there but the way it works now is that an Olympic athlete can be replaced by another top finisher from the same nation. But if there were no available candidates then the specific sport would be listed as having no winners.

Sorry, those game are over.  They were in Torino, Italy.  For a list of finalists, try going to the official Olympics website and looking for news on finalists before Torino.
