...The Miami Heat is keen on trading point guards Mario Chalmers and Shabazz Napier to give the team some “financial and roster flexibility,” according to Fox Sports. It was initially reported that Heat president Pat Riley was shopping Chalmers and 37-year-old center Chris Andersen, but now speculations have emerged that it was Napier on the trading block and not the Birdman. Napier, the 24th overall selection in last year’s draft, struggled with a sports hernia injury in April that required surgery. He played 51 games last season, started 10, and averaged 5.1 ppg and 2.5 apg in almost 20 minutes a night. He played his best game on February 20 against the New York Knicks, scoring 18 points, grabbing seven rebounds, and dishing out six dimes....

...If you ask some people to describe a place that represents Miami, an abundance of people would immediately describe Miami Beach. On the contrary, when I think of a place that represents Miami, I think of Bayside. Why Bayside? Well, because of its boisterous nightlife, dazzling scenery, and multicultural inhabitants. Imagine driving down the filled streets of downtown Miami and just getting an ear full of that flavorful Latin music, then you arrive at the Bayside marketplace and catch a whiff of that a wonderful aroma on each side of where you are currently standing. Once you open your eyes you catch a glimpse of abstract paintings, colors, and shapes everywhere. Dazzled by the immediate array of colors and some of the best scents that I have ever experienced, coming here is one of the best experiences that I have ever come across. Miami is known for its tropical weather year-round, so anytime someone decides to go for a little exploring near the ocean it will be a pleasant experience. When going to a place like Bayside gyrating dancers, flavorful music, and tasty cocktails will be found throughout all the place one goes to. Interesting enough once you mingle with the people around you, you start to realize that these people have nothing in common, that everyone has a different background. At first, it is a bit odd that everyone is so happy and...

...Miami Heat It’s still strange to look at the Miami Heat roster and not see Dwyane Wade’s name on it, but nonetheless, Wade has moved on from the Heat and vice-versa. Despite the loss of the face of the franchise, the Heat is unarguably a better team. Wade’s departure will allow Goran Dragic to play a game that will resemble much more of his days in Phoenix rather than his time in Miami. Dragic thrives with the ball in his hand, something that will happen on a much more frequent basis without the ball-dominant Wade on the court. Hassan Whiteside is arguably one of the most talented centers in the league. His per 36 numbers are among the best in terms of pure production. He’s a prolific shot blockers and tremendous finisher at the rim. He chose Miami as his preferred...

...Tyler Boles Annotated Bibliography Daly 9:00-9:50 Authority figures Bullies or Buddies: Brutality from authority figures to immigrants This newspaper article that I found online, written by Daniel Shoer Roth of the Miami Herald newspaper, shows his research on the subject of police brutality towards immigrants/refugees. it also shows some of his personal outlooks on the topic along with some views of some of the citizens in Miami that he interviewed. he talks on a national and local level about , biased policing, unconstitutional searches and seizures and the use of excessive force when dealing with ethnic groups. many cases have been documented in Miami-Dade County in which DEA agents and local police officers have arrested U.S. citizens with foreign last names to interrogate them about their citizenship. Foreigners are required to carry immigration papers, green cards, at all times. But natural born U.S. citizens are not required to carry papers proving citizenship. local police departments deny having policies that encourage the harassment of immigrants, but these attacks show how law-enforcement policies are not entirely respected by the officers. The enforcement program, Secure Communities, is sometimes considered a useless tool in bringing out dangerous foreign criminals, also gives full power to criminals and gives them power to commit abuse against our community. It also endangers any legal American who may be a victim of a crime witnessed by an immigrant/refugee...

Nursing Philosophies of an organization states thought on what is believed to be truthful about the specific profession and usually a theorist who best represents the goal and mission that the organization desires to achieve and maintain while practicing optimal patient outcomes.

The hospital was acquired by the University of Miami in 2008; since then, it has become the center of healthcare excellence in South Florida.

External Factors UMH mission is to provide healthcare services to the community it serves, as well as to being a point of interest for international patients. As most hospitals, it is aggressively influenced by the environment in which it operates. “A host of external factors influence a firm’s choice of direction and action and, ultimately, its organizational structure and internal processes.” (Pearce, pg.102). These external factors are divided in three major categories: remote, industrial, and international. Remote. These factors are independent from the institution’s operating situations...
