...While the games were being played, Bill S-238 was signed by the Canadian legislature in order to prevent football leagues from other countries interfering with the Canadian Football League and punishes players with fines. This law will be quite a hurdle to jump if the NFL is serious about putting an NFL team in Canada. One potential solution to this would be to merge the NFL and CFL, a logistical nightmare by any means. A much simpler solution would be to pay the players the excess in order to pay for the fines, an easy fix because the NFL will be garnering that much more revenue. One needs to look no further for expansion cities than the US itself. There are untapped markets almost everywhere one looks. San Antonio, Las Vegas, Memphis, and Oklahoma City are front runners for...

..."Buffalo Stadium is Termed Most Complete Stadium in Country By Architect." Houston Chronicle, April 10, 1928. This article in the Houston Chronicle is important because it describes the atmosphere in which Pete Mazar played in. The stadium was completed in 1928, and each seat has a great view of the field. The stadium has a total of 11,556 seats, which is surprising given that another source in my bibliography, opening day in 1928 hosted 20,000 fans. Buff Stadium, Opening Day, April 11, 1928.

...BUS378 – Bus, Gov & Society CSR Research Assignment Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) can be defined as the duty a corporation has to create wealth by using means that avoid harm to, protect, or enhance societal assets. More simply put, CSR is a corporation's responsibility to act in a manner that not only promotes their business, but also considers the impact it will have on the community it is serving. M&T Bank is a large international corporation that can be identified as operating with a high level of Corporate Social Responsibility. The benefits of CSR do not only aid the M&T Bank’s image, but also the communities it touches. Through their community leadership they have created brand loyalty with their customers, and motivated employees to help in strengthening their communities. M&T Bank states on their own website they are “a reliable bank that’s strong and stable.” They go on to say, “you can count on us because M&T Bank is one of the best performing regional banks in the nation today.” They are “committed to the communities it serves,” and are “a convenient bank that’s close and accessible.” ("Who is M&T," n.d.) M&T goes on to explain how community is important for their continued success. This is why M&T Bank takes an “engaged” approach in the local communities in which they operate. This fulfills M&T’s CSR requirement of Market Actions. Their vision statement proclaims, “M&T strives to be the best company our employees...

...Framework for HRMD 620 * Model for labor relations * Evaluating labor relations * Assignments Orientation Hello. This is our first stop on the semester long tour of Employee and Labor Relations. By now, you should have reviewed the Read Me First document, Read Me Second document, Syllabus and Course Schedule. You should have completed the Getting Started tasks in the Read Me Second document, which includes your introduction in the “Student Introductions” conference. I wouldn’t be surprised if some of you have already started reading ahead, too. (That isn’t a bad idea since this course includes lots of material—both in the textbooks and through assignments.) Finally, if you haven’t already, please be sure to read the Research Paper Instructions in the Course Content area. You will need to do that in order to complete the Week 1 assignment. Today, we need to orient ourselves by looking at several basic questions: · What is labor relations and what does it strive to accomplish? · Why do we care? · How did labor unions come into being? · Are labor unions effective? What is the first thing you think of when you hear the term “labor relations?” I would venture to bet that some of the plausible responses would be: * labor unions * strikes * collective bargaining * protesters * conflict The aforementioned all seems to conjure up images of labor unions. It is important to stress here that labor relations is...

...Asthma is a chronic disease of the lungs that affects millions of children in America. Millions of children are diagnosed with the disease each year, and are frequent visitors of the countries’ emergency rooms. Asthma is Greek for panting, which is what asthmatics experience when they experience an asthma attack (Eisele, 2003). According to Neergard (2006), more than 20 million Americans have asthma, and the chronic lung disease is on the rise. This paper will discuss the, causes, symptoms, treatments and the demographics of children being diagnosed with the disease. In order to understand the severity of the disease called asthma, one must understand it causes. These causes lead to the symptoms that have thus far caused the disease to kill 5,000 people every year and accounts for 2 million emergency-room visits (Neergaard, 2006). Though there are treatments for the disease widely available, certain causes of the diseases aren’t concretely founded, causing asthma to remain a mysterious disease to doctors. In the following we will go on a journey to discover the mysterious, precarious reality of children diagnosed with asthma. According to Eisele (2003), five thousand people die of it every year in the United States. Currently it's the sixth most common chronic condition in the nation. Three times as many people have it now as in 1980. Some 6 million of them are children. For children, asthma is the most common chronic disorder, the leading cause of missed school, and the leading...

...Why Marijuana Illegal Ever since the beginning of time there always has been something that has created a large amount of controversy; an issue that leaves households and countries divided. Should marijuana be legalized so it can be used for medicinal purposes? Marijuana has been used by people of royalty, "Emperor Shen-Nung in China prescribes cannabis for beri-beri, constipation, 'female weakness,' gout, malaria, rheumatism and absentmindedness” (Abel, 1982) and politicians, “I smoked but did not inhale.”- Bill Clinton. In fact marijuana has been around for as long as the earth been able to produce plants. Medical Marijuana has been in the middle of world debates since it was discovered. Marijuana was once an important plant and now marijuana is considered to be one of the worst drug or plant to mankind. People have formed a negative perspective about this naturally grown plant, which is often referred as a harmful gateway drug. Although marijuana is a drug now, one-day history will repeat itself and, there will be a time in which society will take a step back and look at what this plant has to offer. Marijuana has many respectable uses. In order for an accurate opinion to be forms, this will present to you the history of marijuana, why marijuana was deemed unsafe or illegal and the medicinal purposes cannabis has to offer. After reading they will be more informed about marijuana, he or she will be able to form a moral decision based on facts and history. When they are...

...professor Louis Wozniak can be a pain at work, even though he is generally well-liked by his students. Since August 2010, he has been on paid suspension from the Springfield campus after publicly embarrassing a student he believed contributed to his denial of a $500 teaching award. Yet, this month, in what is believed to be a first-time action by University of Illinois trustees, Wozniak’s 41-year tenure was revoked and his employment immediately terminated after making a(n untrue) joke online about remembering only the names of students with whom he’s had sex. While clearly showing poor judgment and a lack of sensitivity, Wozniak’s situation calls into question the ethical justification for academic tenure, which is the focus of this paper. I will briefly examine tenure’s unique role in higher education from its start to its present-day limitations and whether its institution is ethical, by both those who covet it and those who provide it. In the end, hopefully the reader will understand the forces at play and whether its continuation is merited at American colleges and universities of the future. Academic tenure was proposed as early as 1915 and formally defined, following a series of conferences by 1934. A formal statement of academic tenure was officially agreed to by the American Association of University Professors and the Association of American Colleges (and Universities) in 1940. It states that after the expiration of a probationary period...

...The end of the tyrannical rule of the British through the Revolutionary war brought a sense of pride, patriotism and unity to the new United States. The British had long dictated the path of the Americas in order to bring about prosperity for Great Britain with little regard for the Americas. The Revolutionary war ended that or so the United States thought. As the new nation forged its own path to recognition as a sovereign nation based freedom and liberty, there were continuous internal conflicts over the balance of governmental powers, military preparedness, westward expansion, economic prosperity, slavery and diplomacy with other nations. The War of 1812, also known as the second war of independence, or rather the end of the war, reignited passion in the hearts and souls of all Americans with a little help from a General Andrew Jackson and forced Great Britain to respect all the rights the United States deserved as a nation. The Napoleonic War was waging in Europe between Great Britain and France. The United States had full intentions of remaining neutral throughout the conflict. The attempts of the United States to carry on normal trade relations with both Great Britain and France were nearly impossible. Great Britain and France continuously interfered in the commercial trade routes in Europe and the world with blockades and seizures. The use of impressments and requirements for trade were Great Britain’s way of ignoring the rights the United States has as a nation and the...

...United States of America underwent large scale change and by the start of the twentieth century was one of the richest nations in the world. By 1950 the U.S.A. was the richest country in the world and a superpower. The state was not the only thing to change during this period. From the late-nineteenth century up to the 1920s average Americans experienced a dramatic expansion in wealth and prosperity. However, with the Wall Street Crash in 1929 the U.S.A. experienced an economic depression that destroyed millions of livelihoods. This eventful period of American history led many to question the American Dreams place in modern America. This research paper will examine the interpretation of the American Dream in literature between the Progressive Era at the start of the twentieth century and the 1950s economic and social boom. In order to do this the paper will examine the novels The Jungle, The Great Gatsby and Death of a Salesman. These three novels all examine the American Dream in different decades. Written in 1906 by Upton Sinclair The Jungle is a novel that portrayed the life of immigrants and the working class in early-twentieth century America. The novel was published during the muckraking decade and its depiction of poverty, unpleasant living and working conditions and the corruption of those in power led it to be called “the Uncle Tom’s Cabin of wage slavery.” A socialist Sinclair believed that by the start of the twentieth...

Ndivo1*, Judith N. Waudo1 and Fuchaka Waswa2 1 2 School of Hospitality & Tourism Management, Kenyatta University, Kenya School of Environmental Studies, Kenyatta University, Kenya Abstract Kenya’s tourism activity has always been centered on the coastal beaches and a few game parks despite of being endowed with a unique combination of tourist attractions spread throughout the country. Noting this skewed nature of tourism development, this study aimed at investigating the status of appeal of the different Kenya’s tourist regions from the perspective of the domestic market with the goal of examining the efficacy of the destination appeal enhancers. Data was collected using semi-structured questionnaires and analysed using mainly descriptive statistics. The study found out that while majority of Kenyans considered taking a holiday as being important to them, a significant majority of them were not be aware of most of the country’s touristic attractions and hence, frequented only a few of the country’s attractions, mainly the coastal beaches. Further, the study found out that the most important sources of travel information available to Kenyans were personal experience and information from significant others; travel...

...2008 GREAT RECESSION COMPANIES WHO SURVIVED AND ALTERNATE METHODS TO EMPLOYEE LAYOFFS MGT 310-06 PROFESSOR CAS CASWELL BY DE’-LISA BARNES INTRODUCTION In 2008, the end of the first decade of the 21st century, the world market experienced the worst economic decline, known as the Great Recession. The overall impact was described as being the worst global recession since World War II. The precise magnitude and timing of the recession is widely debated and varied from country to country. The years leading up to the crisis were characterized by a highly excessive rise in asset prices, combined with a boom in economic demand, which inflicted a clear hardship for businesses and families. To further explain my research, this paper will focus on the following: What caused the great recession, Effects of the recent recession, Types of Businesses that survived the recession, Companies that hired during the recession, Companies that choose shared-worked programs over layoffs, Various states that participates in the work shared programs, and the Advantages of the work share program. WHAT CAUSED THE GREAT RECESSION The Great Recession actually began in December 2007, which is long before most people ever realized what was to soon transpire. Although there are many speculated factors or causes that led to the recession, the American people strongly believe that the following groups are responsible for the Great Recession of 2008: Government, Mortgage Companies, Banking...

...informative report. Abstract Carbon Credits are a tradable permit scheme under United Nations Framework Convention for Climate Change (UNFCCC) which give the owner the right to emit one metric tonne of carbon-di-oxide equivalent. They provide an efficient mechanism to reduce the green house gas emissions by monetizing the reduction in emissions. Rural India has a tremendous potential to earn carbon credits by setting up household based energy substitution or fuel switching projects like biogas plants, solar cookers and solar cells, smokeless chulhas etc. In this study, we propose setting up of a 5MW solar power plant so as to offset the carbon emissions produced by the villages under consideration and BITS. The basis of this model is the research study conducted in villages of Jhunjhunu district of Rajasthan, India...
