...Memorandum Date: 10/11/2013 To: Neil Peart From: Jon Paul Jones Subject: Web Conferencing Programs During the our last meeting you requested that I research Web Conferencing Programs. I have conduct a The two web conferencing programs that I have chosen and believe to be the best choices are Adobe Connect, and Instant Teleseminar.

...Fatawu Mahama English H101 Prof. Kathleen Brady 14th November 2013 Sports Now a Business Sports is now a money making business in the human culture. In the United States, Every day millions of office and break time conversations center on the local team’s most recent performance, an upcoming game, the impending draft, the current coach, the future coach, and so on. according to the existing records, in United States of America, there are less than 110 Teams of the 4 main organized professional sports, basketball, baseball, hockey, and, football participating in the main League level fixtures annually. There are less than 90 Stadiums spread over 25 States. Today, sports has become a money making alternative for not only players but also the coaches or managers, the media, and schools participating in sports. Salaries for professional athletes continue to escalate each year. From Alex Rodriguez’s record, $252 million contract to David Beckham’s $50 million per year enticement to join the LA Galaxy soccer team, most sports fans believe that professional athletes, in general, are overpaid and not worth their salaries. Yet for the professional athlete, maximizing compensation is critical, given the short careers and health risks associated with the sports profession. Thus, athletes and their agents often look to see what others within their sport are paid in an effort to negotiate...

...Introduction While this author does not know the whole story, Carl Robins exhibited poor planning, execution and follow through of his duties, which would appear he is either not qualified or trained to do his, job effectively. This situation may have been alleviated by instituting a thorough supervision and mentoring program by ABC, Inc. to coach and counsel their employees. Background Carl Robins, a new recruiter for ABC, Inc. with only six months experience, successfully hired 15 new employees. Carl scheduled a new hire orientation to take place June 15 with the intent of having all the new hires working by July. On May 15, Monica Carrolls, the Operation Supervisor, contacted Carl about coordinating new hire issues such as manuals, drug tests, and policy booklets. Carl found while reviewing the new trainee files that several problems are present. Some of the applications were incomplete, drug screening was not complete, and orientation manuals were incomplete or missing pages. Furthermore, a reservation by technology services for the training room is present throughout the month of June. (University of Phoenix, 2006) Key Problems Three problems are readily apparent; employee applications are incomplete or missing data, three training manuals are currently on hand with 15 needed and the training room is reserved for the month of June. Without further investigation, root-cause analysis is mere speculation. Based on the facts presented in the case study, this author has determined...

...Integration in Ole Miss Football Today, African American athletes play a strong and predominant role in the football program at the university however, this was not always the case. Less than fifty years ago, the Ole Miss football program was just as segregated as it had been in its early days. As a whole, the Southeastern Conference of the NCAA was the last to instrgarate black athletes with the current white ones (Paul 297, 284). Of the ten teams in the conference at the time, the University of Mississippi was the last to integrate (Paul 287). This integration of the team took place ten years after the University itself was integrated. Not only did the school refuse to integrate until years after other teams had already done so but, they also refused to come in contact with any integrated team: “There was no written law prohibiting Mississippi teams from pkaying against black athletes, but legislators threatened to withdraw funds from schools violating this unwritten law. The university of Mississippi, ranked number two, would not play Michigan State, ranked number one, in the bowl game to determine the nation’s top football team in 1961” (Paul 284-5). This long and fought off integration of the university’s football program derives from its deep history of racism. Many of the predominant and well thought of symbols of Ole Miss football are directly related to slavery, white supremacy and racism. The Confederate flag was seen at all football games and carried by both fans...

...global community and large multi-national conference centres have to cater to all nationalities. Having this in focus, Suntec Singapore has implemented Digital Congress Network in their conference halls, where a team of interpreters sits in an adjacent room or sound-proof booth, listen to what the presenter is saying, through headphones, and translate everything into fourteen other languages. Their voice is then picked up by a microphone that transmits the sound signals to Infra-Red translation receivers, via infrared panels placed around the conference room. They use invisible light waves to distribute the signal throughout the hall. As the convention centre has several conference halls, using infra-red receivers rather than FM receivers ensures that the sound signals do not leak into adjoining halls as infra-red signals will only work if the receiver is pointed at the panel. Since there conference hall doesn’t have any obstacles or columns, there is no recognizable drawback of using infra-red receivers. For a conference centre, it is important to have the right seating system. Suntec, therefore, has employed portable seating system, which is easy to set up and retrieve. Not much is described about the ergonomics of the seating system, but in light of the recent developments, it should be easily adjustable and comfortable, so that each person can personalize it to their own comfort. Good comfortable seating for meeting and conferences ensures more participation and less bickering...

...earlier moment in the week had been really tense. The previous Monday, 09:00 PST: an intense brainstorming teleconference between the offshore team in Bangalore, and Todd. The client, a media and entertainment giant in the US, has had a sudden change in requirement. Prasad, the delivery manager, points out, “Todd, given the new emphasis for an open architecture, we will have to replace the Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) module with one based on XML standards.” Todd queries, “That sounds tricky. Can we start on a new module at this stage and still meet the deadline?” “Yes, but we will need our teams of EDI and XML experts working on it simultaneously both from India and the US,” says Prasad. After a week of late night and early morning conference calls, the Infosys team has conceptualized and developed a simple and effective solution. The client thanks Todd, “Your solution delivers just the interoperable architecture we wanted.” Todd conveys the good news to Prasad and then heads out to celebrate with his team. A short while later, he drives home battling the dense LA traffic. After a tense yet fulfilling week, he is really looking forward to whale watching during his weekend sail!
