...approach, cost, and impact our team got down to work collaboratively. Findings The first proposal submitted by the Skyline Coalition comes to us with not just one issue, but two. Right away it is clear to understand the need for, and goals of this project. The first problem arises when looking at the project approach criteria. The proposal doesn’t say how they plan on sustaining the prescription distribution beyond the three month time frame funding would allow. It’s almost impossible to reach a goal if you cannot sustain something so crucial to that goal. Our team also has an issue with the cost of the Skyline Coalition proposal. It seems like more money should be geared toward prescriptions, as opposed to copy paper and three ring binders. If Skyline needs money for paper items now they are bound to need them again in the future,...

...For years security folks have grumbled about the role compliance has assumed in driving investment and resource allocation in security. It has become all about mandates and regulatory oversight driving a focus on protection, ostensibly to prevent data breaches. We have spent years in the proverbial wilderness, focused entirely on the “C” (Confidentiality) and “I” (Integrity) aspects of the CIA triad, largely neglecting “A” (Availability). Given how many breaches we still see every week, this approach hasn’t worked out too well. Regulators pretty much only care whether data leaks out. They don’t care about the availability of systems – data can’t leak if the system is down, right? Without a clear compliance-driven mandate to address availability (due to security exposure), many customers haven’t done and won’t do anything to address availability. Of course attackers know this, so they have adapted their tactics to fill the vacuum created by compliance spending. They increasingly leverage availability-impacting attacks to both cause downtime (costing site owners money) and mask other kinds of attacks. These availability-impacting attacks are better known as Denial of Service (DoS) attacks. We focus on forward-looking research at Securosis. So we have started poking around, talking to practitioners about their DoS defense plans, and we have discovered a clear knowledge gap around the Denial of Service attacks in use today and the defenses needed to maintain availability. There...

...Brandi Williams Assignment 5: Persuasive Paper Part 3: Possible Disadvantages, Answers, with Visuals Research and Writing ENG 215 Professor Julie Davenport June 14, 2015 Should regulations regarding the use of cell phones while driving be standardized? Over the last four decades, mobile devices have become the trademark of our society.cell phones and other mobile devices have inundated our society At any given time; we can see drivers talking or texting in a moving vehicle. According to Brenner (2013), 87% of American adults and 78% of teenagers own a cell phone. The scary part is that almost two-thirds of cell phone possessorss’ are distracted by talking or texting and while they drive. This action makes distracted driving one of the leading causes of vehicle crashes (Klauer et al., 2014). Mobile technology is a great convenienceAt any given time, we can see drivers talking or texting. , but when we make a choice to talk or text while driving we put ourselves and others at risk. . Mobile devices have become the trademark of our society. I believe all drivers should be held accountable for their choices, regardless of their expertise or the place, and the governing regulations should be the same across state lines. It is a great convenience to have a cell phone. A person is in constant touch to others when equipped with one. Today’s cell phones are extremely advanced and have wonderful applications, to the point that they could replace an actual computer. When a person is...

...Law Enforcement Guidelines Shawntel Mack American Intercontinental University Abstract This paper will briefly discuss Robert Peel’s principles of policing. My research will explain the importance of having control of your temper results to disintegrating a situation. This paper provides two examples of police-involved shootings where better judgment could have applied. I will express my opinion on what I think should been to develop proper demeanor of law enforcement officers. Lastly, this paper pinpoints training deficiencies and will provide feedback of the area of training needed to satisfy the deficiency. Law Enforcement Guidelines We, as ordinary people, oftentimes find ourselves in situations where people push our buttons, or they try to see just how far they can push us before we totally loose our composure. Our temper is an additive tool that is essential in helping if a situation is diluted or if a situation is escalated. Today, there is much scrutiny of excessive force, corruption and brutality within our local police departments and among law officials. According to Sir Robert Peel’s first principle, the main goal and accomplishment for the police is to hinder disorder and criminal offenses (New Westminster Police Department, 2013). It is of the police ethics and duty of not wavering by one’s threats or any type of language, especially offensive. The advantage of displaying such ethical behavior is in the event that the police needs...

...Roberts The power to stop an addiction takes more than will power. It takes desire, want, and strategy. When possessing the ability to remove an addiction the individuals who are in this situation have a big load to take in. The strategies of overcoming, conquering, and not relapsing can give these individuals the confidence that they are craving to take the next step forward. The topic that will be discussed is using discrepancies to overcome alcohol abuse. What will be covered in the topic are the description of reflecting discrepancies, a brief review of the research addressing reflecting discrepancies, a description of the client's or staff member's behavior that will be addressed by reflecting discrepancies (hypothetical client), a description of the desired behavior that will replace the problem behavior, and a demonstration of using reflecting discrepancies with a client or staff person. The goals for this paper are to learn what discrepancies are and how one can overcome alcohol abuse by using discrepancies daily. Discrepancies are defined as change; a person can change his or her way of thinking if he or she has the right tools and motivation to do so. Most of the techniques used in reflecting discrepancies begin with listening to the clients. Discrepancies most likely appear as inconsistencies between two statements, between thoughts and feelings, between intentions and behaviors, and between verbal and nonverbal communication (Murphy & Dillon, 2003). According...

...Langston American Intercontinental University Abstract This paper examines the many factors of search warrants it will examine the process by which a search warrant may be applied for and issued, focusing on the requirements of the Fourth Amendment. This paper will also describe probable cause and the standard by which the cause is fulfilled. In addition, it will describe and discuss at least two forms of searches that do not need a warrant. Also discussed in the study is warrant less searches, if the reasons are compelling, and if all requests require probable cause exists or exceptions. Search Warrants & Probable Cause Search warrants are issued when there is probable cause and it needs one. If a police officer was to walk into your household and search it without consent or a search warrant, they not only get into trouble, but what they might find could be thrown out at the hearing and does not count against you. Occasionally there are even searches that will not involve a search warrant which means whatever they do discovery can become trouble for you as well as can be used alongside you in court. Under the Fourth Amendment, to law enforcement or anyone else in this field, individuals need be safe in their households and in their individuals against arbitrary searches and seizures (Schmalleger, 2012). Fourth Amendment states: "The right of the people to have protection of their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures shall...

...State of Minnesota V. Othoudt Research Paper Bradley Peters Applied Procedures / LAWE-2260 Professor Schwint 15 October, 2014 Introduction Under the Supreme Court’s decision in Minnesota V. Othoudt, law enforcement officers may not enter or conduct warrantless searches of residences, without consent. Moreover, the police may enter a dwelling, without a warrant, to make a felony arrest if they have probable cause and or exigent circumstances. In this case, if the circumstances of the accident scene had given Deputy Olmanson probable cause to arrest respondent for the offenses he was later charged with, those offenses were charged as misdemeanors (STATE V. OTHOUDT). As of this writing, neither the Minnesota Supreme Court nor the United States Supreme Court has ever held that exigent circumstances would permit a warrantless entry into a home to arrest for an offense of this level (State of Minnesota, Respondent, vs. James Howard Klein, 2014). Cases such as this one could possibly jeopardize the privacy protections offered by the Fourth Amendment and create the potential for abusive police practices (Cars, Cops, and Crooks: A Reexamination of Belton and Carroll ). An attempt to expound upon the effects of failing to obtain consent to make a warrantless search of a dwelling is explored. Case Brief: State v. Othoudt, 482 N.W.2d 218 (Minn. 1992) * STATEMENT OF THE CASE: This case is an appeal by the State of Minnesota of the trial courts findings of the state’s warrantless...

...probably based on the observations that clinicians use a wide variety of technologies in diagnosing, treating and assessing the care of their patients. Today's medical technology is more advanced, more effective, and in many cases, more costly than ever before. Furthermore there is an ever increasing demand for high technology diagnostic and therapeutic health care facilities and their availability may come into conflict with medical necessity, social justice and cost effectiveness. There is increasing pressure on health care resources that is driving more explicit and public decisions regarding the best use of these resources. The complexity of modern technology and its high marginal cost suggest to us that testimonial reviews of new technologies are no longer sufficient.1 Current trends in health care decision making favour a transition from a rationale based primarily on resources and opinion to a rationale derived from research. In developing a new health care technology it is important to recognize its potential impact. The important question would be whether the new technology provides information that was not previously available and the new information may result in the cure of a common and otherwise fatal disease....

...Chattanooga Case Analysis Dionne Durst Jack Welch Management Institute Dr. Catherine Lada JWMI 510 May 12, 2016 Chattanooga Case Analysis In principle, business leadership has evolved fast especially in the 21st Century. Consequently, individuals are opening up to new ideas and dynamic styles of doing things, which means that competition has remained all-time high in many industries. Therefore, leaders in various organizations have to be vigilant by creating winning teams in their firms that will achieve business goals. Essentially, this paper is going to utilize the issue of leadership experienced by Chattanooga Ice Cream, Inc. when a major client decided to replace them with a competitor in 1996. It will analyze how management went about discussing solutions, starting with the team challenges and dysfunctions. Also, how team members could boost their perspectives about others. Finally, it will make some specific recommendations about how the team leader could improve effectiveness. In essence, Charlie Moore’s democratic style of leadership was failing and making the team dysfunctional while his team members were not excellent team players. Fundamentally, Moore’s team appeared to be moving in circles when deliberating on how to respond to Stay & Shop's move to drop Chattanooga as its supplier. In this regard, the details of the meeting provided point to a team that could not get things done which is a sign of a dysfunctional group. According to Swyers (2012)...

...Multicultural theory or multiculturalism is the theory where we can see here in America. It is the exchange of customs and culture in respect to socioeconomic status, foreign reform, as well as the differences in ethics and religions. Multiculturalism can have an effect in any institution of culture whether it involves government, education, economics, religion, or family. For the purpose of this paper we will focus on strategies and situations many businesses will face. Culture will be defined as “the pattern of shared beliefs and values that give members of an institution meaning, and provide them with the rules for behavior in their organization” (Shafritz, Ott & Jang, 2011, p. 364). We will discuss why the need arises for a business or organization to expand or change their ventures to another vicinity outside of their native culture; what problems can occur during the transition of moving from one culture to the next; and the benefits behind using multiculturalism. Multiculturalism today is met with the demand of the economy on a global scale. Capitalism or the pursuit of profits is a driving factor for businesses to relocate in the hopes of achieving higher margins in profit. The stakeholders, those who have vested both time and resource into a business or organization are persistently pushing businesses for higher profits. Businesses must consider what barriers are necessary to break down in both their country and the one they are considering to expand inside. “In the modern...
