...Secondly, the results of professional athletes using steroids is harmful to the fans. Albert Schweitzer, once quoted “Example is not the main thing in influencing others. It is the only thing.” In the article “Let steroids Into the Hall of Fame” written by Zev Chafets, he writes a major key point about “People thinking that steroids can set a bad example to the young athletes”. Younger fans hearing of their heroes using enhancement drugs can be harmful to their health and to their life. Children and the way they think are very persuasive. Players should think about the impact they have on the lives of children. Some children may believe that the only way that they are ever going to carry out anything in sports, is by using performance enhancement...

...Overall the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame was a fantastic experience. The most interesting exhibit in the museum was the clothing that the performers wore during shows or music videos. Michael Jackson’s costumes caught my eye first, all the way from the shiny designs to how skinny his waist was. His costumes didn't look the most comfortable because they had sequins or rhinestones on them, which would be scratchy on his skin. Michael Jackson’s sparkly silver glove spinning on a delicate platter covered with a glass case just topped the exhibit off. I did dislike one thing in the costume part of the exhibit, it smelled like old, dirty, rough clothing that had been sitting out to long. My least favorite part of the trip was the class....

...Wrestling Observer Hall of Fame 2015 – The Role of Historical Influence Emphasised on Wrestling Observer Hall of Fame ballots are the notions of value to the industry, trend-setting, and positive historical significance. All of these criteria may lie within the broad domain of "influence", however, much like the majority of the non-drawing related Hall of Fame criteria, a great deal is left to the voter's interpretation. How did historical context affect the success of a performer's run? Did the legacy the candidate leave result in further creative, artistic, and monetary victories in the business? Did the candidate perhaps define a role, and if so, would it have come about or been drastically different without them? These are all natural...

...The Beastie Boys are up for nomination of being inducted into the Rock n’ Roll Hall of Fame for the third time. I believe third time is a charm for them and according to the Rock n’ Roll Hall of Fame official website, they have an estimated 82% chance of being inducted in 2012. Beastie Boys have had a huge impact on what our music is today, and have influenced the music of many early hip-hop artists. Even the Canadian Pop band phenomenon, The Barenaked Ladies, have cited the Beastie Boys as a huge inspiration for their work. It's only been a small number of years since the Rock Hall began to acknowledge the vast dominance of hip hop in today's society. The Beastie Boys are much more than a boy band of Jewish rappers. They managed to blend punk and hip hop in an incredibly significant and influential way. These political activists, punk/hip-hop, bad boys have been around for almost three decades. They are notorious for introducing hip-hop to a mass new audience. The Beastie Boy’s debut album, Licensed to Ill (1986), was an ingenious blend of hip-hop and hard rock; it was also hip-hop's first number one album. Their renowned single, (You Gotta) Fight for Your Right (to Party), immediately became the party anthem of the 1980’s for the teenage generation. In the 1990s, the boys combined their hardcore punk sound with funk and brought us smash hits like Sabotage and my personal favorite, Intergalactic. The Beastie Boys were continuously experimenting with sounds and always trying...

...Suppose the Baseball Hall of Fame in Cooperstown, New York, has approached Active-Cardz with a special order. The Hall of Fame wishes to purchase 50,000 baseball card packs for a special promotional campaign and offers $0.37 per pack, a total of $18,500. Active-Cardz’s total production cost is $0.55 per pack, as follows: Direct materials $0.13 Direct labor $0.06. Variable overhead $0.11 Fixed overhead $0.25 Active-Cardz has enough excess capacity to handle the special order. An incremental analysis is prepared to see if Active-Cardz should accept this special order. The relevant costs in this situation are the variable costs. Fixed costs will continue, regardless if the order is accepted at all. Requirements: 1. What do you think Active-Cardz should accept the order? Explain why or why not? 2. What is your opinion on whether the Active-Cardz will accept or reject the order based on the following additional information? Explain why or why not? Now assume that the Hall of Fame wants special hologram baseball cards. Active-Cardz will spend $6,800 to develop this hologram, which will be useless after the special order is completed. If the Baseball Hall of Fame agreed to increase the product price up to 50% to ensure quality standard product including special hologram baseball cards. In such situation Active-Cardz’s production cost is per pack, as follows: Direct materials $0.17 Direct labor $0.08. Variable overhead $0.16 Fixed overhead $0.25 3. What would...

...OUTLINE RESEARCH PAPER Can Performance Enhancing Drugs (PED) actually be positive and beneficial for Major League Baseball? “As the likes of Barry Bonds, Mark McGwire, Sammy Sosa, Roger Clemens and Alex Rodriguez saw their usage exposed, the sport fought back with tougher drug testing and after the 2005 season produced a program punitive enough to minimize the game's doping culture.” (Braun's test result gives MLB major jolt; With MVP under cloud, steroid era is revisited Bob Nightengale, USA TODAY), "Probably the biggest sentence to which he was subjected is the impact on whether he'll be a lock for the Hall of Fame and the stigma that is now attached to his name and his records."(Barry Bonds is sentenced in enduring BALCO saga; No end in sight to BALCO's reach by: Jorge L. Ortiz, USA TODAY). Quotes like these could have been seen all over newspapers and magazines all throughout the past decade. Yes, these athletes did use Performance Enhancing Drugs (PED), but a debate has raged on about just how right are we to scrutinize them for those actions and just how inappropriate their actions were? With baseball professionals on both sides arguing how much of an impact they really had on the game. More so, I'd like to ask the question of whether what they had done was actually in a way good for baseball, and whether Performance Enhancing Drugs should even be banned from baseball? Which, I believe they shouldn’t be for numerous reasons. In order to understand just how...

Ever since then marks and spencer has delivered goods of the best quality and now to day it stands as one of the best retail chains in the UK. They primarily deal in Clothing and food. The company is headquartered in London, UK and is the one of the biggest companies in the world. It’s ranked #725 in the Forbes 2000 list (Marks and Spencer on Forbes 2000 list, 2011) and is amongst the top 5 retail firms in the country.

...Recommendation for Network Analysis Tool Due to the increased budget of Digifirm I was asked to research and review some network traffic analysis tools and sniffers that could use in future investigations. There are several pieces of software available to fit out needs. I looked at many sniffers and network analysis tolls. Some of the programs I have researched are TCDump, Windump, Wireshark, HTTPSniffer, Nmap and Snort. A common tool used to intercept and log traffic over a digital network is TCpdump for UNIX platforms and Windump for windows computers. They both extract network packets and perform a statistical analysis on the dumped information. They can be used to measure response time and the percentage of packets lost, and TCP/UDP connection start up and end. TCPdump and Windump are not very user friendly sniffers. Wireshark is a packet sniffer that is used a lot. I even have it on my home computer. It is free download and is available for many operating systems. It is simple to use and the user will select an interface, or network card and then start the process. You can see the address where the packets are coming from or where they are going to. You can also protocol, timing and other important information. You can also stop the packet capture process and view individual packets. When you click on any given packet it displays the details of that particular packet. The information is color coded and sometimes you can even see the data in packet. Wireshark...

...James Joseph Brown[1] (May 3, 1933 – December 25, 2006) was an American singer and dancer. The founding father of funk music and a major figure of 20th-century popular music and dance, he is often referred to as "The Godfather of Soul". In a career that spanned six decades, Brown influenced the development of several music genres.[2] Brown began his career as a gospel singer in Toccoa, Georgia. Joining an R&B vocal group called the Avons that later evolved to become The Famous Flames, Brown served as the group's lead singer.[3][4] First coming to national public attention in the late 1950s as a member of The Flames with the hit ballads "Please, Please, Please" and "Try Me", Brown built a reputation as a tireless live performer with the Famous Flames and his backing band, sometimes known as the James Brown Band or the James Brown Orchestra. Brown's success peaked in the 1960s with the live album Live at the Apollo and hit singles such as "Papa's Got a Brand New Bag", "I Got You (I Feel Good)" and "It's a Man's Man's Man's World". During the late 1960s, Brown moved from a continuum of blues and gospel-based forms and styles to a profoundly "Africanized" approach to music-making that influenced the development of funk music.[5] By the early 1970s, Brown had fully established the funk sound after the formation of The J.B.'s with records such as "Get Up (I Feel Like Being a) Sex Machine" and "The Payback". Brown also became notable for songs of social commentary, including the...

Japanese competition was another macro issue that Motorola had to contend with. With Japanese technology expanding and trade practices relaxed or non-existent, all were considered a threat to Motorola. Japan was selling products at less than fair value to rapidly increase their market share. (Jick & Peiperl, 2011) To help alleviate the issue, Bob Galvin worked on a federal foreign trade committee to fight unfair trade practices and protectionism. (Jick & Peiperl, 2011) Due to Motorola’s huge structure and 75,000 employees, any relaxed working environment is going to be cause for some problems. From a micro analysis, one of the issues is that a relaxed atmosphere does not do well in regards to timely production...
