...Aaron Mikles 1/6/13 3rd Demiter They say bull riding is the most dangerous sport on dirt. In a lot of ways they are right a lot of people are injured and even killed. In bull riding they say its not if you get hurt its when and how bad. Bull riding has been around for a long time for a few hundred years. Bull riding is an exciting and an adrenaline pumping sport because of the history of bull riding, the way you are scored, and the safety of the rider and the bull. Bull riding has a long rich history, it can be traced back all the way to the early 1800’s. Cowboys would get together and have contests in things they normally do on a ranch like roping and trying to break horses, but you didn’t have to get on the back of a bull for no reason they just wanted to see who could do it and so began bull riding. The first formal rodeo was held in Cheyenne, Wyoming in 1872. Bull riding quickly became the most watched and anticipated event at the rodeos. Cowboys were not organized the first union was called cowboys turtle association (CTA), in 1975 it became rodeo cowboys association (RCA) it later became Professional Rodeo Cowboys Association (PRCA), which is what it is known as today. Before 1992 bull riding was just one of the nine traditional events that took place on the PRCA circuit. In 1992 twenty of the top professional bull riders put up $1,000 each to launch the Professional Bull Riders (PBR) circuit. Bull ridings first widely recognized stat was Dick Griffith...

Net benefits are N (Q ) = 50 + 20Q − 5Q 2 . b. Net benefits when Q = 1 are N (1) = 50 + 20 − 5 = 65 and when Q = 5 they are 2 2. c. d. e. f. N (5) = 50 + 20(5) − 5(5) = 25 . Marginal net benefits are MNB (Q ) = 20 − 10Q . Marginal net benefits when Q = 1 are MNB (1) = 20 − 10(1) = 10 and when Q = 5 they are MNB (5) = 20 − 10(5) = −30 . Setting MNB(Q ) = 20 − 10Q = 0 and solving for Q , we see that net benefits are maximized when Q = 2 . When net benefits are maximized at Q = 2 , marginal net benefits are zero. That is, MNB (2 ) = 20 − 10(2 ) = 0 . 4. a. The value of the firm before it pays out current dividends is ⎛ 1 + 0.08 ⎞ PV firm = $550, 000 ⎜ ⎟ ⎝ 0.08 − 0.05 ⎠ . = $19.8 million b.

Capital Ideas: Chapter 1: Are Stock Prices Predictable? * It is doubtful * Paul Samuelson – economist and Nobel laureate (receiver): even smart people have a hard time getting rich by predicting stock prices. * While some people never try to outguess the market, in the face of admittedly high odds, y to predict stock prices to keep an entire industry humming (noisy). * The demand for the wisdom produced by armies of security analysts, portfolio managers, television pundits (expert), software peddlers (seller), and newspaper columnists shows no sign of waning (decreasing). * The wealthiest people on Wall Street are professionals whose bank accounts have been inflated by a constant flow of investment advisory fee. Index funds, which hold a diversified cross-section of the market and never sell one stock to buy another, account for less than 15 percent of all equity portfolios. * While no one goes as far to say that it is impossible to make good predictions or that all predictions are destined to be wrong, the abundant evidence and the robust (strong) character of the theories that explain the evidence confirm that the task of predicting stock prices is formidable by any measure. * 1900, Louis Bachelier: * Completed his dissertation titled “The Theory of Speculation.” This was the first effort to employ theory, including mathematical techniques, to explain why stock market behaves as it does. * Set...

...Chapter 1 Introduction to Pathophysiology Lee-Ellen C. Copstead Key Questions • What is pathophysiology? • How are etiology and pathogenesis used to predict clinical manifestations and response to therapy? • How are normal and abnormal physiologic parameters defined? • What general factors affect the expression of disease in a particular person? • What kinds of information about disease can be gained through understanding concepts of epidemiology? http://evolve.elsevier.com/Copstead/ • Review Questions and Answers • Glossary (with audio pronunciations for selected terms) • Animations • Case Studies • Key Points Review Pathophysiology derives from the intersection of two older, related disciplines: pathology (from pathos, suffering) and physiology (from physis, nature). Pathology is the study and diagnosis of disease through examination of organs, tissues, cells, and bodily fluids. Physiology is the study of the mechanical, physical, and biochemical functions of living organisms. Together, as pathophysiology, the term refers to the study of abnormalities in physiologic functioning of living beings. Pathophysiology seeks to reveal physiologic responses of an organism to disruptions in its internal or external environment. Because humans exhibit considerable diversity, healthy structure and function are not precisely the same in any two individuals. However, discovering the common and expected responses to abnormalities in physiologic functioning is useful, and it...

...Chapter 1,2,4 Homework Jake Fischer BUS- 340 Mr. Ryan Kelly Jake Fischer BUS-340 Oct 2, 2013 Ryan Kelly Chapter 1,2,4 Online Research: Common Law Common law, system of law that prevails in England and in countries colonized by England. The name is derived from the medieval theory that the law administered by the king's courts represented the common custom of the realm, as opposed to the custom of local jurisdiction that was applied in local or manorial courts. In its early development common law was largely a product of three English courts—King's Bench, Exchequer, and the Court of Common Pleas—which competed successfully against other courts for jurisdiction and developed a distinctive body of doctrine. The term "common law" is also used to mean the traditional, precedent-based element in the law of any common-law jurisdiction, as opposed to its statutory law or legislation (see statute), and also to signify that part of the legal system that did not develop out of equity, maritime law, or other special branches of practice.

...Chapter 1 A Brief History of Risk and Return Concept Questions 1. For both risk and return, increasing order is b, c, a, d. On average, the higher the risk of an investment, the higher is its expected return. 2. Since the price didn’t change, the capital gains yield was zero. If the total return was four percent, then the dividend yield must be four percent. 3. It is impossible to lose more than –100 percent of your investment. Therefore, return distributions are cut off on the lower tail at –100 percent; if returns were truly normally distributed, you could lose much more. 4. To calculate an arithmetic return, you simply sum the returns and divide by the number of returns. As such, arithmetic returns do not account for the effects of compounding. Geometric returns do account for the effects of compounding and for changes in the base used for each year’s calculation of returns. As an investor, the more important return of an asset is the geometric return. 5. Blume’s formula uses the arithmetic and geometric returns along with the number of observations to approximate a holding period return. When predicting a holding period return, the arithmetic return will tend to be too high and the geometric return will tend to be too low. Blume’s formula adjusts these returns for different holding period expected returns. 6. T-bill rates were highest in the early eighties since inflation at the time was relatively high. As we discuss in our chapter on interest...
