Podcasts about Dennis Johnson

On April 12, 1966, a family picnic in America's first national park turned into one of the most baffling missing persons cases in American history. Eight-year-old Dennis Johnson was visiting Yellowstone with his parents William and Betty and his three sisters when his seven-year-old sister Mary wandered off.Dennis and his father split up to search for her. William found Mary quickly, but when he returned to the Cascade Picnic Area, Dennis had vanished without a trace.What followed was one of the most intensive search operations in Yellowstone's history – spanning 100 square miles, employing helicopters, bloodhounds, and dozens of searchers. Despite three weeks of exhaustive efforts costing over $14,000 (equivalent to more than $100,000 today), not a single clue was found. No footprints. No clothing. No evidence whatsoever.Fifty-eight years later, Dennis Johnson remains missing, his fate unknown.In This EpisodeThe detailed timeline of April 12, 1966, and how a moment's separation led to decades of mysteryWhy the search for Dennis was particularly challenging, and the technical aspects of a 1960s-era wilderness searchThe baffling behavior of bloodhounds that couldn't pick up any scent trailFive leading theories of what might have happened to Dennis, and why none can fully explain his complete disappearanceHow the Johnson family turned to a psychic in their desperate search for answersWhat makes wilderness disappearances unique, and the concept of "ambiguous loss"The statistical context: how rare cases like Dennis's are compared to millions of safe Yellowstone visitsHow the case has informed modern search and rescue techniques and park safety protocols

Can true believers lose their salvation? Dr. Dennis Johnson guides us through the Book of Hebrews' warnings about falling away and its promises of assurance. Join us for a pastoral deep-dive into this ancient sermon that still speaks to weary believers wrestling with doubt and endurance. We'll explore the superiority of Christ, the power of the New Covenant, and what it truly means to enter God's rest.Dr. Johnson is professor emeritus of practical theology at Westminster Seminary California and assistant pastor of Westminster Presbyterian Church. ABOUT THE GUEST:

En el Radar de hoy vemos uno de los bombazos deportivos de la temporada: Bill Chisholm, socio gerente de Symphony Technology Group, se hace con la franquicia verde por 6100 millones de dólares. Para entender la magnitud de esta venta, es la operación deportiva más costosa de la historia. Supera por 50 millones a la compra de Washington Commanders de la NFL hecha por el co-fundador de la firma de capital privado Apollo Global Management. Dentro de la NBA, son dos mil millones de dólares más que las adquisiciones que se hicieron en 2023, con las ventas de las franquicias Phoenix Suns y Dallas Mavericks. ¿Cuáles son los planes para los próximos años? El negocio es redondo para el que era hasta la semana pasada el dueño de los Celtics: Wyc Grousbeck compró el equipo en 2002 por solo 360 millones. Grousbeck supo aprovechar el mal momento que atravesaba Boston, ya que la franquicia llevaba sin levantar el anillo desde 1986. Además, con la retirada de Larry Bird y de otros jugadores capitales de los ochenta como Kevin McHale, Robert Parish o Dennis Johnson, los Celtics deambularon sin rumbo durante la década de los noventa, sin mucha suerte en el draft. ¿Qué piensa Grousbeck del nuevo dueño? ¿Y qué hay de la plantilla? Ya se sabe que estas decisiones pueden generar malestar en los equipos. Ya ha quedado claro que es un gran fan de la ciudad y del equipo pero a nadie se le escapa que la NBA vive el momento más boyante de su historia. De hecho, Adam Silver, comisionado de la liga, llegó a un acuerdo con la NBC-Comcas, Amazon Prime Video y Disney para la emisión de partidos en los próximos once años. La NBA recibirá de los tres 76.000 millones de dólares. Todos quieren un trozo de la tarta y parecen que no son conscientes de la bajada de audiencia que ha tenido la liga: las finales del año pasado las vieron 11 millones de espectadores, un 3% menos que el año anterior. Además, el comisionado sigue dándole vueltas al tema del All Star. La expectación con el partido de las estrellas es cada vez menor: en 2025 vieron el partido fue 4,7 millones de espectadores, la segunda peor audiencia de la historia. Los Boston Celtics aterrizaron en la NBA en el año 1946 pero no es hasta la década de los cincuenta cuando la franquicia empieza a hacerse un nombre con la llegada del entrenador y posterior ejecutivo Red Auerbach. En el año 56 draftea al que puede ser seguramente el jugador más influyente de la historia del equipo: Bill Russel, que junto a otros jugadores como Cousy, Havlicek o Sam y K.C Jones ganaron ocho anillos consecutivos, once desde el 57 hasta el 69.

Ross asks for Peter's reaction to the Luka Doncic/Anthony Davis trade and how none of the newsbreakers who cover the league had any clue it was happening. 10:32 ... Considering the principals in the deal, Peter shares his thoughts on some of the other deals that were historic but he feels than none were ever bigger than this one. 12:54 ... Peter tells why Dallas MAY have traded Luka and tells a story about how former Mavs coach Rick Carlisle left the Mavs because he did not like coaching Luka. 16:13 ... Why did the Mavericks want the often injured Anthony Davis? 17:15 ... The Lakers needed a big man, so naturally they traded their Hall of Fame big man. 20:12 ... Peter reacts to DeAaron Fox going to San Antonio and why he liked Fox prior to this season but has soured on him this year. 24:15 ... Bruce makes a joke about how the players for Archbishop Molloy H.S. in Queens (Peter's alma mater) were big time ballers and he joked how he was ahead of his time as a high school player. 24:53 ... Bruce takes a shot at Zach LaVine, who was traded from the Bulls to the Kings and how Sacramento's GM seems clueless.  Peter goes on to discuss Billy Donovan, his first NBA interview that was done for SportsChannel at Hofstra University where Bruce also worked. 27:26 ... On being inducted into the Hoop Hall of Fame in 2009.  Surprisingly Peter has little regard for the Hoop hall and Jerry Colangelo who is the boss. 31:23 ... Peter is annoyed that K.C.

Bruce asks about the new All-Star game format and how the event has become unwatchable.  Peter thinks the new tournament format may help make it more appealing.  He is not impressed with the new women's 3 on 3 league but transitions into a story about how K.C. Jones allowed him to work out with the Celtics teams of the 1980s and play full-court 4 on 4. 50:12 ... World B asks Peter who his favorite interview subject was ... and it was Larry Bird.  Of course, there's a couple of good Bird stories there!  And there's a great story about how Bird signed a photo for Peter's son as a birthday gift.  Peter truly misses being around Larry. 53:17 ... Peter shares some Bill Walton stories and how he helped Bill get into TV at NBC.  We exchanged some Walton stories. 55:10 ...

Decimosexto programa dedicado a la temporada 1985-86 de la NBA en el que continuamos el repaso de la fase regular de todos los equipos. En este analizamos a los Boston Celtics; tanto las expectativas como el desarrollo del curso, los movimientos en la plantilla, el ataque y la defensa, los jugadores, las estadísticas individuales y colectivas, y algunas curiosidades. K. C. Jones mantuvo al quinteto estelar liderado por Larry Bird (MVP por tercera campaña consecutiva). El segundo espada fue Kevin McHale, quien no paraba de progresar, y el tercer pilar fue Robert Parish. La pareja exterior (Dennis Johnson y Danny Ainge) ayudó a que el equipo obtuviera el mejor récord de la liga. Las dos nuevas incorporaciones ayudaron desde el banquillo, Jerry Sichting jugando como base-escolta y Bill Walton siendo el pívot suplente (mejor sexto hombre de la liga). También como suplente rindió bien el tirador Scott Wedman. Hablamos sobre todo lo anterior y mucho más. ------ Contacto y redes: - iVoox (Era baloncesto): https://www.ivoox.com/podcast-era-baloncesto_sq_f1687000_1.html - XLS con todos los audios: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1k9YiJkMkIMwONwX1onZZTBHBffYVtnlgT2oBebypG0A - Twitter: @erabaloncesto - YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@erabaloncesto - Blog: https://erabaloncesto.home.blog - erabaloncesto@gmail.com ------ Sintonía: - Cornflowers (Dee Yan-Key): freemusicarchive.org/music/Dee_Yan-Key/Vacation_Days/01-Dee_Yan-Key-Cornflowers ------ Creado y presentado por José Manuel Gómez y Manuel Álvarez López.

Dennis Johnson, president of Cooperative Housing Resources in Shoreview, joined Minnesota Now to share how the idea came about and what it looks like now.

0:00 ... Bruce hello and welcome 0:33 ... Bet Online live commercial read 1:13 ... Bruce Introduces his guests: Arsalan Iftikhar, Eric Newman, & Brad from @celticspost 2:40 ... Bruce asks each guy when they became Celtics fans and who their favorite player is. 9:50 ... Why was this year's Celtics team the one to finally break through and win it all?  Lots of love for Jrue Holiday. 17:58 ... Arsalan explains how Jaylen Brown emulated a character in the old He-Man cartoons 19:42 ... Holiday was the "Third J," and the 48 Minutes podcast played a major role in setting the stage for Holiday to join the Celtics when Giannis Antetokounmpo challenged the Bucks to make a big move. 21:50 ... Many said that Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown would never be a great fit as teammates, but they have cracked the code and created an incredible partnership as virtual co-equals. 30:32 ... Bruce dubbed Holiday and Derrick White "The Wardens" because they "lock up" opposing players.  Are they reminiscent of former Celtic legend Dennis Johnson?  Our crew has great appreciation for both of The Wardens for so many reasons. 38:47 ... Every dentist in Boston should offer to fix Derrick White's teeth for free over the summer 39:23 ... Al Horford in 2024 and Kevin Garnett in 2008 were both glue guys on championship teams in Boston.  Our crew compares and contrasts their respective roles but everyone understands what Big Al meant to the 2024 Celtics.  He always was able to keep the team together when the pressure was on. 45:26 ... Arsalan said Peyton Pritchard only makes halfcourt shots. 45:58 ... Joe Mazzulla won everyone over after being much maligned in his first season as head coach.  Team president Brad Stevens showed great faith in Mazzulla when others wanted him fired.  Everyone agrees that he will only get better as a coach. 50:40 ... Bruce thanks his guests and says goodbye and flashes the Larry O'Brien Trophy on the way out. TRT 51:23  

0:00 ... Hello and Welcome ... Ross introduces the panelists. 0:38 ... Episode #109 honors Derrick White, who wears number 9 for the Celtics and is now an NBA champion. 1:10 ... Bet OnLine live commercial read from Ross 1:47 ... Ross tees up our resident Celtics fan Bruce who describes how the 48 Minutes podcast from last summer set the stage for the Celtics to acquire Jrue Holiday after Giannis Antetokounmpo told the Bucks they needed to make a big move, which they did in trading for Damian Lillard. 4:37 ... Bruce felt the Celtics had "that look" all season and they were such a fun team to follow. 5:13 ... Bruce feels that this year's team is one of the five best single season Celtics teams ever. 5:45 ... World B felt the Celtics were one of the best teams we've seen in years.  They dominated the regular season and kept responding every time they were tested. 8:10 ... Ross shares what he felt were the three top storylines for the Celtics. 8:59 ... Ross cites the work of Celtics head coach Joe Mazzulla who erased all the doubts that people had about his coaching skills.  Ross also heaps praise on Jaylen Brown for his response to those who doubted him and the massive improvement in his game. 10:26 .... Bruce praises Brown's leadership skills both on and off the court. 12:30 ... World B reacts to Peyton Pritchard's 50 footer just before halftime and how the Mavericks never seemed able to recover from it and make a run. 14:20 ... Bruce points out how matchups are everything and Boston's perimeter defense was a matchup that was too much for Kyrie Irving and Luka Doncic to overcome. 16:17 Dallas needed a third wheel and nobody stepped up to help the Dallas Guards. 16:52 ... Ross and Bruce discuss whether it was sweeter as a Celtics fan to see the team win the championship on their home court instead of in Dallas. 18:49 ... World B shared some thoughts on adjustments Jason Kidd could have made against the Celtics, but Boston had way too much talent for Dallas to deal with.  But he still felt it was a successful season for the Mavs. 20:36 ... Bruce pointed out how Dallas completely outworked Boston in game 4 and it was reflected in the rebounding numbers.  But in game 5, the Celtics turned the tables, totally outworking the Mavs and crushing  them on the boards. 22:12 ... Bruce expresses his longstanding admiration for Al Horford and how he became a mini version of Kevin Garnett for this Celtics team. 24:09 ... Ross and Bruce discuss the impact Kristaps Porzingis had with his return to the lineup despite being injured during the series. 26:17 ... Ross and Bruce discuss what's next for the Celtics .... you couldn't be in a better position than they are moving forward.  Bruce feels head coach Joe Mazzulla is in a great position moving forward and is looking like "Erik Spoelstra 2.0." 28:32 ... Derrick White could be an injury replacement for Kawhi Leonard on the USA Olympic Team.  Bruce praises White as "Dennis Johnson 2.0." 30:19 ... World B is not concerned about White possibly being overworked due to his possible addition to the Olympic roster. 31:46 ... Bruce sizes up the Mavericks team moving forward and sees most of their key guys are signed for next season. 34:45 ... World B thinks the core group in Dallas will be kept together.  PJ Washington was a huge addition and has a great future. 38:38 ... Bruce feels Dallas needs better perimeter defense if they're going to contend next year.  World B feels the same. 40:31 ... Dereck Lively receives tons of credit from Ross for his rookie year performance. 41:37 ... Bruce praised Nico Harrison for the Lively trade last summer. 43:29 ... Bruce asks Ross and World B if they'd consider trading Kyrie Irving if they were running the Mavs. 46:36 ... Ross wraps things up ... congratulates Bruce and says goodbye. TRT 47:31      

How can all the Bible be all about Jesus when His name doesn't explicitly appear till the New Testament? From Genesis to Leviticus to Esther, it may be hard to see Jesus on the surface of every page, but he's there—in profound and subtle ways. Dr. Dennis Johnson is a scholar and one of the founding faculty members of Westminster Seminary in California. Today, he joins David Wollen to discuss a christocentric approach to reading and studying God's Word. If you are new to this way of reading the Bible, we encourage you to be patient. It may take some time to learn to see Jesus on every page, but it's important and worth the effort. Because this is not merely a hermeneutical trick of smoke and mirrors ... it's the way Jesus himself taught his disciples to study and teach the Scriptures. 

Dennis Johnson and Chris Higgins from Johnson's Auto in Moorhead, MN answer questions from listeners about their vehicles. In this episode, we cover a lot of questions about gas (additives, type of fuel blends, gas caps and more) plus questions about towing, trailers, air filters and even some tips on getting the best life out of your brakes.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Dennis Johnson was one of the most underrated players in the NBA. The man was a 9-time All-Defensive Player, a 5-time All-Star, and a starter on 3 NBA championship teams. What's unique is that he was neither a starter in high school nor recruited to any colleges.

2-22-2024 Passed Ball Show. John shares his farewell to MLB first baseman Eric Hosmer on his retirement and shares his two biggest Hosmer memories. He then rips the Brooklyn Nets, General Manager Sean Marks, and whatever players felt they had the right to opine on their feelings in playing for departed Head Coach Jacques Vaughn.

John will judge current coach Doc Rivers entire legacy upon what happens with this current club.

It's an all-too-familiar tale among the ranks of senior finance executives: A private equity firm acquires a company, reshuffles the finance team, and reserves the top finance spot for one of its own portfolio CFOs. At Qlik, though, this story had a less familiar ending—or at least one that did not include a portfolio CFO. Instead, back in 2016, when Thoma Bravo acquired King of Prussia, Pennsylvania's Qlik, a seasoned veteran of the latter's own finance team—Dennis Johnson—entered the CFO office. For Johnson, there's little question that his appointment validated the 8 career years that he had already invested with the company, a period during which he had sought to routinely contribute to the company's growth and ongoing strategic transformation. It turns out that his senior finance roles—and in particular his involvement in the transition to a subscription-based model—had demonstrated his strategic vision and capacity for managing change effectively and thus opened a new door. CFOTL: Tell us about Qlik … what doe

Also talk Brandon Miller, Dennis Johnson and the best heavers in the league

They say that there's no such thing as multitasking. It's just working on a whole lot of things in a mediocre fashion.

Episode Synopsis:I begin this episode with a personal testimony.I was born and raised a dispensationalist.  Our family owned a Christian bookstore.  The first Christian book I picked out and read on my own was Hal Lindsey's The Late Great Planet Earth.  Years later, I was challenged by one of our delivery men about the books we were selling–all the dispensationalist best sellers.  He said he was “Reformed.”  I thought he meant that he had gone to “reform school” or was on work release from prison.  The questions he put to me bounced off like BB's against a Battleship.  Dispensationalism was biblical.  How could anyone doubt that?But those BB's actually penetrated my embarrassingly thin armor.  Eventually, I became a very reluctant Calvinist and then I started re-thinking my eschatology.  After university and a year at the Simon Greenleaf School of Law (which was founded by John Warwick Montgomery, the faculty included Walter Martin, and Rod Rosenbladt, and is now the Trinity Law School in Santa Ana), I was steadily moving away from my doctrinal roots (Arminian and dispensational).  I found that the Reformation views on law and gospel, the five solas, and the end times, were absolutely compelling because they were thoroughly biblical.  To my surprise Drs. Montgomery and Rosenbladt suggested a career change–seminary, specifically the new seminary in Escondido (90 miles to the South), Westminster Seminary California.In the Acts and Paul class taught by Dennis Johnson, I first encountered what I came to know as the two-age model–terms I was familiar with from reading the New Testament but never thought much about–“this age” and “the age to come.”  After reading Herman Ridderbos and Geerhardus Vos on Paul, I realized how serious a challenge the two-model was to my premillennial eschatology (I had pretty much given up on most of my dispensationalism by then, although I still thought like one).  Driving home after Dr. Johnson's class, I had an “ah-ha moment.”  “I can't be premillennial any more.”   The two-age model makes premillennialism (in all its forms) a biblical impossibility.  I dug in my heels and fought the inevitable.  But here I am far down the road, presenting and defending the two-age model.  If you've not heard this before, you are in for a real surprise.  This is a game changer in terms of your view of the end times.For show notes and other recommended materials located at the Riddleblog as mentioned during the Blessed Hope Podcast, click here: https://www.kimriddlebarger.com/

Dan Wetzel and SI's Pat Forde & Ross Dellenger go through the recent firing of Alabama baseball coach Brad Bohannon after his name was linked to a possible bet placed on an Alabama game. The drama in Tuscaloosa continues in 2023, with the latest theatrics being a sports betting scandal. A man who placed a large wager in Cincinnati on an Alabama vs. LSU baseball game has been allegedly linked to the now former head coach Bohannon. The fact that this scandal is coming out of Alabama, which has been no stranger to public scrutiny this year, only adds fuel to the fire.Later, Ross provides an update on the Pac-12's pursuit of expansion in the face of the upcoming loss of UCLA and USC, as well as their negotiations in trying to secure a new television broadcast deal. After much speculation that the Pac-12 would head to an online streamer, ESPN has kept negotiations open with the conference and is not shutting the door. After producing solid ratings numbers for a notoriously late time slot, the Pac-12 is hoping to keep pace alongside the other conferences that have solidified their own lucrative TV deals.With the Kentucky Derby this weekend, Pat gives his annual list of bad horse names. This year features a misplaced apostrophe as well as a bad Star Wars reference. Lastly, the guys discuss the high school legend that is Dennis Johnson and his dominance as an elementary schooler.1:00 The SEC conference has the first scandal since the legalization of sports betting29:45 The landscape of the Pac-12 TV deal 41:03 The mystery of the pod's singing birds has been solved43:27 The Kentucky Derby is taking place this weekend52:18 Dennis Johnson had a fascinating high school athletic careerStay up to date with the latest college football news and coverage from Yahoo Sports on Twitter @YahooSportsCFB.Follow Dan @DanWetzelFollow Pat @ByPatFordeFollow Ross @RossDellengerCheck out all the episodes of the College Football Enquirer and the rest of the Yahoo Sports podcast family at https://apple.co/3zEuTQj or at Yahoo Sports PodcastsSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
