Facts: On April 22, 1987, at approximately 3:00 pm Corporal Davis with the Montgomery, Alabama Police Department received an anonymous phone tip that Vanessa White would depart the Lynnwood Apartment complex at 4:00 pm and that she would be driving a brown station wagon with the right-tail light cracked. [1] The caller informed Corporal Davis that White would be going to the Doby Motel and would be in possession of cocaine in a brown portfolio. After the call, Davis and his partner drove to the apartment complex and set up surveillance. Officers then observed White leaves the complex and followed her to the motel. White's vehicle was stopped about 4:18 p.m. in front of the Jet Theatre. [2] Corporal Davis asked White to get out of her car and …show more content…
At the arraignment, White pleaded not guilty to the charges in the indictment. After a hearing and following a denial of her pretrial motion to suppress, White entered a conditional plea of guilty to the charges, clearly preserving the right to raise, on appeal, the matter of the trial court's denial of her suppression motion. [5] The Court sentenced White to two years in prison. The ruling was suspended, and she was placed on two years’ probation. On appeal, Court of Criminal Appeals of Alabama reversed and reduced White's conviction on April 28, 1989. The Court held that a confirmed anonymous tip which involved easily known details was insufficient to validate an investigatory stop of a defendant. [6] Rehearing was denied by the appellate court on June 16, 1989. The Alabama Supreme Court denied certiorari without opinion on September 22, 1989, with two Justices dissenting. The Court reversed the judgment of the appellate court and remanded for further proceedings because when the officers stopped White, the anonymous tip from the informant had been effectively confirmed to furnish reasonable suspicion that White was involved in criminal activity. [7] The investigative stop the officers conducted did not violate White’s Fourth Amendment

Bullying

...BULLYING BOYS: AN EXAMINATION OF HEGEMONIC MASCULINITY IN THE PLAYGROUND Dr L Trickett1 ABSTRACT Violence between young men, particularly resulting from the emergence of a so called ‘gun and knife culture’, is currently subject to extensive media coverage in UK2. Alongside this there has been increased anxiety about both the scale and impact of bullying in schools (Cawson et al, 2002; Tyler, 2002). These issues form part of a more generalised concern about men and boys in Britain often referred to as a ‘crisis of masculinity’ (see Clare, 2000). This article examines findings from research with male respondents about their relationship with hegemonic masculinity (Connell, 1987, 1989, 1995, 2005) and bullying whilst at school and makes suggestions as to what can be done to tackle abusive behaviour amongst boys and young men. 1 Dr Loretta Tricket is a Senior Lecturer and researcher with the Nottingham Law School, Nottingham Trent University, UK. 2 See Lockhart, G; McClory, J and Qvortrup, M. (2007) Gun and Knife Crime in Great Britain, Policy Exchange, Research Note.

Abstract • We study why multinational enterprise (MNE) subsidiaries adopt dissimilar politic'll strategies. and seek to advance the understanding of international political strategy from an MNE parent-subsidiary perspective. • Drawing on the MNE parent-subsidiary literature. we contend factors at the subsidiary. corporate. and host country levels contribute to subsidiary political strategy dissimilarity. We test our hypotheses with a sample of U.S. MNE subsidiaries within Western Europe.

Southwest Airlines

...For the exclusive use of M. Park, 2016. CASE: HR-1A DATE: 1995 (REV’D. 04/05/06) SOUTHWEST AIRLINES (A) “The workforce is dedicated to the company. They’re Moonies basically. That’s the way they 1 operate.” —Edward J. Starkman, Airline Analyst, PaineWebber Ann Rhoades, vice president of people for Southwest Airlines, was packing her briefcase at the end of a 17-hour day. Tomorrow was an off-site meeting with the top nine executives of Southwest Airlines. The agenda for the meeting was to review Southwest’s competitive position in light of recent actions by United and Continental, both of whom had entered Southwest’s low fare market. That day’s New York Times (September 16, 1994) had an article that characterized the situation as a major showdown in airline industry: This is a battle royal that has implications for the industry, said Kevin C. Murphy, an airline stock analyst at Morgan Stanley. The battle will, after all, be as much a test of strategy as a contest between two airlines. United and other big carriers like USAir and Continental have decided that they can lower their costs by creating a so-called airline-within-an-airline that offers low fares, few flights, and frequent service. The new operations are unabashedly modeled after Southwest, the pioneer of this strategy and keeper of the healthiest balance sheet in the industry.2 The reasons for this competition were easy to understand. Over 45 percent of United’s revenues came from passengers...
