Tony Blair served as Prime Minister of Great Britain and Northern Ireland from 1997 to 2007. He was also the leader of Britain's Labour Party (1994 to 2007) and the Member of Parliament for Sedgefield, England (1983 to 2007). As Prime Minister, Mr. Blair transformed Britain's public services through a program of investment and reform, resulting in better academic achievements for children, faster access to health care, and improved survival rates for cancer and coronary heart disease patients.

Mr. Blair is also widely credited for his contribution towards the Northern Ireland Peace Process, helping to negotiate the Good Friday Agreement and deliver a power-sharing government.

Mr. Blair currently works for the USA, UN, Russia and EU as the Quartet Representative, helping the Palestinians prepare for statehood as part of the international community's peace effort. He is an advocate of a values-based, activist and multilateralist foreign policy - an agenda that combines intervention in Iraq, Afghanistan, Kosovo and Sierra Leone with action on climate change, global poverty, Africa and the Middle East Peace Process.

He launched the Tony Blair Faith Foundation to promote understanding between the major faiths and increase understanding of the role of faith in the modern world. He has also launched the Tony Blair Sports Foundation.

No name is more synonymous with greatness in the sport of golf than the name Jack Nicklaus, and no single person has changed the face of the sport more than Jack Nicklaus - the player, the designer, and the good-will ambassador.

Jack, 68, has been named "Golfer of the Century" or "Golfer of the Millennium" by almost every major golf publication in the world. He was also named Individual Male Athlete of the Century by Sports Illustrated, and one of the 10 Greatest Athletes of the Century by ESPN.

In November 2005, as Jack punctuated a year in which he played his final British Open, perhaps his final Masters Tournament, and led the United States to a thrilling victory in The Presidents Cup, the Golden Bear was honored by President Bush at the White House with the Presidential Medal of Freedom, the highest honor given to any civilian. A few weeks later, he was unanimously named by GolfWorld Magazine as its Newsmaker of the Year 2005.

Early in 2001, Jack was honored with the first-ever ESPY Lifetime Achievement Award, and he became the first golfer - and only the third athlete - to receive the Vince Lombardi Award of Excellence. In 2003, he was honored with the Muhammad Ali Sports Legend Award.

Jack's competitive career has spanned five decades, and his legend has been built with 105 professional tournament victories worldwide and a record 18 professional major-championship titles. He is the only player in history to have won each of the game's majors at least three times (six Masters, five PGA Championships, four U.S. Opens, three British Opens), and is the only player to have completed the career "Grand Slam" on both the regular and senior tours.

Jack is a five-time winner of the PGA Player of the Year Award, has been the PGA Tour's leading money-winner eight times and runner-up six times. He has played on six Ryder Cup teams, captained two other Ryder Cup teams, and served as U.S. captain for the 1998, 2003, 2005, and 2007 Presidents Cup teams.

The legacy Jack has left as a player can be rivaled only by the legacy he is leaving as a golf-course designer.

Jack was named GolfWorld's Architect of the Year in 1993, and in 1999, Golf Digest named him the world's leading active designer. In February 2005, the Golf Course Superintendents Association of America recognized Jack with its highest honor, The Old Tom Morris Award. In 2001, he was named recipient of both the Donald Ross Award (American Society of Golf Course Architects) and the Donald Rossi Award (Golf Course Builders Association of America), and was honored with the International Network of Golf's Achievement in Golf Course Design Award for 2000-2001.

Jack has been involved in the design of 265 courses open for play worldwide, and his thriving business, Nicklaus Design, has 330 courses open for play around the world. Nicklaus Design courses are represented in 33 countries, 38 states, and at least 87 have hosted a combined total of close to 600 professional tournaments or significant national amateur championships. At least 60 Nicklaus Design courses have appeared in various national and international Top-100 lists. The firm currently has projects under construction or under development in 45 different countries-30 in which Nicklaus Design has never been involved.

Since 1962, Jack has added the moniker of "businessman" to his lengthy résumé. He is chairman of the privately held Nicklaus Companies. In October, Golf Inc. magazine ranked Jack "The Most Powerful Person in Golf" for the fourth consecutive year, due to his impact on various aspects of the industry through his course design work, marketing and licensing business, and his involvement on a national level with various charitable causes. He was also named "Golf Development Newsmaker of the Year" for 2005 by Golf Inc., and the Robb Report once named Jack the "Leading Power Player" in the golf market.

In just over a four-week period ending in May, Jack received three Lifetime Achievement Awards in three different countries, as he was honored by the China Golf Association, then received the PGA Tour Lifetime Achievement Award, and, finally, was presented the KPMG Golf Business Forum's Lifetime Achievement Award on May 13 in Dublin, Ireland, before close to 350 industry leaders and developers representing more than 30 countries. At La Loma's opening, Jack will be presented the Top Golf Course Architect in Mexico Award by Best's Golf Guides to Mexico Publisher Chuck Kinder. The Golden Bear, whose firm has 16 courses open for play in the country, has been honored with the award each year since its inception.

In January, Jack was recognized for his global impact through design as well as his philanthropic efforts at home, when he was presented with The Woodrow Wilson Award for Corporate Citizenship. With its Woodrow Wilson Awards, the Woodrow Wilson International Center for Scholars recognizes leaders in business and public service from around the world and across the political spectrum. The Woodrow Wilson Award for Corporate Citizenship is given to executives who exemplify a commitment to the common good-beyond the bottom line-and who demonstrate that private firms should be stellar citizens in their own neighborhoods, as well as in the world.

Jack and his wife Barbara have a long history of involvement in numerous charitable activities, from junior golf to children's hospitals to several scholarship foundations. Jack and Barbara are the guiding light for the Nicklaus Children's Health Care Foundation, which supports numerous pediatric health-care services in a five-country area, including Palm Beach County. On the golf side, Jack and fellow Hall-of-Famer Juli Inkster are national co-chairpersons of The First Tee program's "More Than A Game" capital campaign. Because of their contributions to golf and to community, Barbara and Jack were honored twice in 2007-the first being The Boys Scouts of America Distinguished Citizens Award, and then the Francis Ouimet Lifelong Contributions to Golf Award, which drew close to 2,200 people to Boston to set a record for a sports function in New England.

Residing in North Palm Beach, Fla., Jack and Barbara Nicklaus are parents to five children and grandparents to 21.

From homeless to Harvard... it is an unlikely turn of events. Liz Murray's life is a triumph over adversity and a stunning example of the importance of dreaming big. Liz's life as the child of cocaine-addicted parents in the Bronx was bitterly grim. There was never food in the house, everything was filthy, drugs were everywhere and the welfare checks were spent before they arrived.

By age 15, Liz's mom had died and she was homeless - living on the streets, riding the subway all night, and eating from dumpsters. Amidst this pain, Liz always imagined her life could be much better than it was. "I started to grasp the value of the lessons learned while living on the streets. I knew, after overcoming those daily obstacles, that next to nothing could hold me down." Determined to take charge of her life, Liz finished high school in just two years while camping out in New York City parks and subway stations. After attending Columbia University for a short period to be closer to her ill father, Liz has returned to Harvard where she is completing her degree.

Liz's story is exhilarating and her delivery innocently honest, as she takes audiences on a very personal journey where she achieves the improbable. Her story sounds like a Hollywood movie - and it practically is. Lifetime Television produced a movie about Liz's life story entitled From Homeless to Harvard, which premiered in April 2003. Liz is also the recipient of Oprah Winfrey's first ever Chutzpah Award and is currently writing her memoirs for Hyperion.
