          Iowa.  Although it presented a wonderful career opportunity for             
          petitioner, the unfortunate result of that move was the necessity           
          of petitioner to "begin at square one" in developing and                    
          promoting a BRVC camp, clinic, and membership program in the Iowa           
          area.  Soon after her move, petitioner began experiencing                   
          additional health problems that required hospitalization during             
          the early part of 1990.  During 1991, petitioner had surgery in             
          connection with these health problems.  As a result, petitioner             
          began to pare down the camp, clinic, and membership program                 
          activities of BRVC and started to focus on performing consulting            
          work for various schools and organizations through BRVC.                    
          Petitioner could easily perform consulting work from home by                
          viewing videotapes and conducting instructive sessions either in            
          her home or by telephone conference.                                        
               When petitioner began her employment with SOI in 1991, her             
          work there involved developing and maintaining relationships with           
          companies for the sponsorship of various sport-specific                     
          activities.  SOI did not place any limitation on petitioner's               
          engaging in any outside business activities, but, rather, SOI               
          encouraged petitioner to continue the activities of BRVC in order           
          to supplement her wages from SOI.  Consequently, petitioner                 
          continued to perform consulting work through BRVC.                          
               In April 1992, SOI sent petitioner to Austria to develop a             
          working relationship between SOI and Adidas.  Also, petitioner's
