For six years Jane’s parents have shared full custody and parental rights. Jane would spend the school term with her father, John, in Quebec and school breaks and holidays with her mother, Anne, in New York.

Upon Anne’s arrival to her home that evening she listened to a message left by Jane stating she hated them both and was going to live with her Uncle Billy in California. John also received the same message. Rushing to the airport in effort to stop Jane, Anne was killed in a car accident. Now Jane is in California with her uncle and refuses to return to Quebec with her father. Issues Does Uncle Billy have the authority to apply for petition of asylum on behalf of Jane?

...Executive Summary From the production of playing cards in 1889, to the expansion into toys and games, and eventually into the start of the electronic entertainment industry in the late 1970’s, over the years Nintendo worked hard to achieved brand familiarity. Over the years Nintendo’s products have made their way through the product life cycle. From the initial market introduction and sales growth in the 1980’s, the Nintendo Entertainment System (NES) as well as their first big game “Donkey Kong”, dominated the market. In the 1990’s, when true competition entered the market, Nintendo’s products had reached market maturity and sales started to decline. By 2003 Nintendo’s market share had shrunk so much that the future of the company became worrisome. The product life cycle has started again with the recent introduction and phenomenal success of the Nintendo Wii. As of the end of the 2010 first quarter Nintendo Wii had lifetime sales of $68 million, holding 49.1% of the market share. Unfortunately production supply has become significantly depleted and current capacity demands are not being met. With the holiday season drawing nearer, George Harrison, Senior Vice President of Marketing for Nintendo must analyze the market to determine a cost effective solution that will allow Nintendo to maintain adequate inventory levels to avoid a supply shortage. Details of George’s decisions include: distribution levels; to whom; at what price; and how (online vs. in-store). ...

...Xavian Arnold Dr. Patterson English 112 28 March 2012 A & P: An Analysis of the Character “Sammy” As people age, maturity and wisdom is gained through every experience. From the time a child turns eighteen and becomes an adult, they are required to deal with the realities of the real world and learn how to handle its responsibilities. In John Updike’s short story “A&P” the protagonist Sammy is a young man in 1961 New England who works in the town’s local grocery store. In a matter of a day, Updike goes from an immature boy with unrealistic ideas and fantasies, to a man who is about to realize how life altering the choices he makes can be. Sammy realizes that life isn’t always fair and that sometimes it involves the consequences that life can deal to anyone who has not had time to test a rash decision. Updike’s story illustrates that a part of growing up is a willingness to accept consequences of one’s choices, and that life's hardest lessons are sometimes learned a little too late. This story represents a coming-of-age for Sammy, as seen through his evaluations of the costumers as the story develops. Though it takes place over the period of a few minutes, it represents a much larger process of Sammy’s growth. From the time the girls enter the grocery store, to the moment they leave, you can see changes in Sammy. At first, he only notices the physical appearance of the girls: how they look and what they are wearing, seem to be his only thoughts. As the story...
