This is due to the fact that, if and when it becomes a law, it will be quite detrimental to me, my home life and my job; all of which are unequivocally dependent on me and my ableness to use the device for urgency…especially in a time restraining situation. c) I am a single mother of a teenaged daughter and am also an IT Technician for a tri-state law firm with thousands of employees in which I am responsible for and overwhelmingly depended upon. Because of my responsibility of knowing as much as possible about my daughter’s safety and well-being, I also have an uncontrollable responsibility of being able to address and troubleshoot so many unforeseen problems that arise at any given moment from my coworkers and resolve their issues verbally and immediately. Due to the urgency of these given situations, it is absolutely necessary for me to be able to answer my cell phone even if I am unfortunately driving at the time. When this law takes effect, it is very probable that it will detrimentally affect not only on me, but many individuals in which I am responsible...

...The Nevada Constitution Jeff Dunham Political Science 100 Professor: Mark Peplowski November 14th, 2013 The United States has a federal style of government that was created by the foundations of the U.S Constitution in which rule of law is used to manage society and the country. The way government oversees there own activities is through the distribution of authority within the different branches of government, called separation of powers. Separation of Power is a way for each branch of government to have enough power to not over dominate over another and thus keep an eye on each other. This process is used to moderate branches of government through a structure called checks and balance. The state and national level use the same structure to govern themselves; the differences and similarities between both of them come down to the way the rule of law is used in the democratic process. An example of this would be through comparing those differences and similarities between the political power that Nevada’s governor and the Presidents hold; along with the political power. The title of governor provides leadership in the state by representing its interest within the Federal Government. The responsibilities for governor, as stated in the Nevada State Constitution under Article 5 sections 8 through 9 are to appointing leaders, fill vacancies, commissioning people to different departments, and holding memberships on several important boards and commissions. He is also responsible...

...product/service that my group finally decided on was that of flipping houses. For those of you that do not know what this means, to “flip houses” means to purchase a home that was for sale, fix it up, and basically resell it for a lot more than you bought it for (Flipping Houses, 2013). There are lots of distribution channels to choose from when trying to get the word out to the public about a product/service. The first channel that I think would work well would be television. If you think about it, there are commercials advertising homes that have been put up for foreclosure by banks. This would be a great way to advertise homes that have been “flipped”. Another distribution channel that I think would be good for getting the word out to consumers is the Internet. There are people that get on the Internet every day looking for homes for sale. One advantage that this could have is that the seller of the home can post pictures of the house on their Website, and then the possible consumers could see what they are looking at buying. I have also seen classified ads in the local newspapers about homes for rent/sale. Really and truthfully, I feel that it is up to the person selling the homes about how they choose to advertise for “flipping” houses. After doing some research, the most popular areas for flipping houses are Florida, California, Nevada, and Arizona. The target market that our group hopes to reach, I think, would be the middle-class group around the ages of...

...CASE 2 Hilton Hotels Hilton Hotels Corporation owns, manages and/or franchises hotels, casino-hotels and inns; sells furnishings, equipment, and supplies to hotels, motels, and inns; and operates a computerized reservation system for the hotel industry. After two major takeover attempts in the early 1990s, Hilton Hotels decided that it had to change by becoming a more aggressive business operation. The result was the decision to move heavily into gambling. This change of strategic direction represented a significant shift in Hilton’s business focus and marketing objectives. Already the owner of four casinos in Nevada, the Los Angeles hotelier began pushing projects in New Orleans, Chicago, Egypt, Turkey, Uruguay, and Australia. While gaming accounted for about 34 percent of Hilton’s overall sales in the early 1990s, its four casinos contributed nearly two–thirds of Hilton’s operating earnings. Nevertheless, Hilton’s new emphasis on gambling carried a large element of risk. Competition for the gaming dollar is intense, and the degree of investment needed to be successful is high. Hilton has had to put more than $6 million into renovating the Las Vegas Hilton to keep up with such rivals as the Mirage and the Excalibur, and it has also renovated the Flamingo Hilton to keep pace with other new places. To lure high rollers away from other casinos, the Las Vegas Hilton has had to be more generous about extending credit, resulting in bad gaming debts and reductions in operating income...

The only way to play blackjack perfectly is to use a strategy called card counting, where a player will keep track of the number of high cards and low cards that have been used from a deck to give them a better idea of what card valuesvalue cards may come out next. Because of this casino operators have over the years attempted to get legislation passed to have card counting made illegal, then lobbied to have the law on their side to allow them to barban known card counters from their casinos. Card counting was devised in the 1950’s by a group of blackjack experts and mathematicians. This will swing the odds from 10% or so in the favor of the house to a 2% advantage for the player. Even though it is a very small number of players who can master this very difficult system, the casinos have always attempted to find new ways to make sure that these experts were not able to keep the odds in their favors.

...River Colorado This extraordinary river has many unique features and runs through 7 American states including Colorado, Utah, Arizona, Nevada, California, Baja, California, and Sonora. Humans have benefitted from the river for the last 2000 years due to its huge potential. More water is exported from the colorado basin than from any other river basin in the US. However these human uses have caused various effects on the river discharge. Key Features: Big Thompson Trans-Basin Diversion Reservoirs including Mead, Powell, Flaming, Gorge and Fontenelle Dams such as Hoover, Davis and Parker Glen Canyon Grand Canyon The Colorado River Delta Figure 1 - shows the course of the river. The Upper Colorado starts at the source at La Poudre Pass Lake in the Rocky Mountain national Park in Colorado. Here the annual precipitation is very high in the park with as much as 2540mm of snow during the winter. Under the Rocky Mountains there is the Big Thompson Trans-Basin Diversion, which diverts water to 2 million people living in Colorado. The Colorado River begins to flow to the west into Grand Lake in Colorado. Once the Colorado River meets the U.S. southwest, it begins to meet several more dams and reservoirs including the Fontenelle (the first of 11 dams) and receives its principle tributary, the Green River before it reaches the Glen Canyon Dam which forms the reservoir Lake Powell in Southern Utah. Here the Colorado also joins with San Juan River. From here...

... 11/17/11 Legalize Gambling in California People don’t like gambling until they win, and people love money. The government doesn’t like gambling, unless they can tax it. People think of gambling and automatically like a trained gambler think of Las Vegas or Atlantic City. Gambling has been in America’s blood since before we were a country. All thirteen original colonies established lotteries to raise revenue. 48 states today that have legalized some form of gambling and have made billions of dollars. 43% of Nevada’s general fund is fed by gaming-tax revenue, which means casinos pump in $9 billion dollars of revenue annually for the state. California is no stranger to gambling, the Gold Rush set off a gambling boom in San Francisco where it replaced New Orleans as the center for gambling in the United States at that time. California must legalize gambling to raise revenue for its state deficit and to put that money back into its communities. California has always set new standards and exceeds expectations with its impractical views, but gambling has been left in gold dust. With billions of dollars to be made for the state, legalizing gambling in California and taxing it seems to be a more practical idea than to keep it illegal. With Indian gaming casinos and lotteries already here and flourishing, why wouldn’t...

...Contributions Solidifying Your Client's Asset Protection Strategy: Multiple Entities in Multiple Jurisdictions by Richard Kahler, CFP®, CCIM, and Richard K. Colman, J.D. Executive Summary * It is important for financial planners to understand the basics of asset protection. Asset protection is a shield against unscrupulous lawsuits—not a way to hide from legitimate obligations. * The history of asset protection through the legal system, including trusts, corporations, and insurance, goes back to ancient times. * Recent U.S. and state statutes have significantly expanded options for asset protection. * The three rules of asset protection are (1) do not own significant assets in your own name, (2) use multiple entities to own your assets, and (3) keep assets and the entities that hold your assets in different or in multiple jurisdictions. * The first line of defense, which is limited, includes statutory protection and insurance. * The second line of defense is owning separate assets through multiple entities, including trusts, corporations, partnerships, limited liability corporations and partnerships, foreign grantor trusts, and domestic asset protection trusts. * The third line of defense is locating those entities in multiple jurisdictions. * A hypothetical client situation is used to illustrate specific methods of applying this knowledge. * In the future, informed planners will be those who understand their professional responsibility to help...

...States education programs, you cannot help but wonder; if this is truly helping prevent teen pregnancy. Over the last decade, teen pregnancy has increased in the United States, and has affected society socially, educational and economically. What programs have been put in place to decrease these statistics? How is this effecting the United States overall? In this paper I will discuss how it not only affects society, but also the teen parent, child, and society. Every year in the United States more than one million teens become pregnant in the United States. Of these one million pregnancies more than 500,000 babies are born to teen parents. This means that everyday at least 3,000 teens become pregnant. Nevada is ranked number one for pregnancies among ages 15-19. The rates of live births in Nevada for women ages 15-19, ranks Nevada at number 8 (Guttmacher Institute, U.S. Teenage Pregnancy Statistics National and State Trends and Trends by Race and Ethnicity, September 2006). With these shocking statistics you cannot help but wonder, what are we as a society doing to help prevent this major issue? Schools have placed sex education classes as an elective class that students are allowed to take to inform themselves on prevention and safe sex. Teenage pregnancy is a pregnancy of a female that is under the age of 20 when the pregnancy ends. Generally a teen pregnancy is unplanned, nor is the mother married. Various studies have shown that teen pregnancy is connected...
