...Changing for a Purpose In the 1940’s, African Americans will not have equal opportunities as they do now. They will endear racial diversities, therefore they have to stick together in every situation possible. Knowing how to stay in their place, is how blacks will stay safe in those days. In A Lesson Before Dying, the people will come together for the sole purpose of helping Miss Emily with saving Jefferson’s soul before he dies. The love they will have for Miss Emily will show the respect of the elders, loyalty to family and friend’s and, the growth when they change. Miss Emily is Jeffferson’ godmother, who is called nannan. She is in her seventies and, she is retired as a cook for Mr. Henry Pichot. Jefferson goes with his friend’s, not knowing that they are going to rob the store. After everyone is killed, Jefferson is the only person still standing in the store and, his fault is that he took the money out of the cashier since everyone is dead. He is arrested and, goes to trial for the murders. He will be sentenced to death by the electric chair. His lawyer tried to get him off by saying “Why, I would just as soon put a hog in the electric chair as this”(Stanley 1). Black people will not have the same justice as the White people in these time. Miss Emily recruits Taute Lou, Grant Wiggins and, Reverend Ambrose to help Jefferson die with dignity. Miss Emily knows that Taute Lou’s nephew is a teacher and, can teach hi m about life. Reverend Ambrose will be there to prepare...

...Richard Braceful Com/155 University Composition and Communication 1 Week 9 Assignment Are you influenced by Politicians or Preachers? The masses of people are controlled by the few leaders we pledge our allegiance to. Would you kill if you were asked by a leader? Would you sacrifice your life at the request of a leader, for the common good? These are the questions that reveal the influence that politicians and preachers have over our lives. I can remember, countless number of times, I have made a decision based on purely affiliation. Without a second thought of my own, I reasoned that “if Mr. Democratic Politician or Reverend Do Right said this it must be true”. I was influenced to make a decision by someone outside of me. Let me state this emphatically, everyone has someone that is able to influence their decisions from time to time. We place a great deal of trust in the elective process. When a government official goes through the rigorous process of election, we feel we have someone in office we can trust. There are times when we give them our blanket seal of approval without further investigation. We do the same thing with those men that stand behind a pulpit and speak to us every, Saturday, Sunday or whenever we meet. They take a stand on something and we follow then because of the place that they stand every time we meet there. They say, “Vote this way “, and without question we vote that way, because Reverend Do Right can’t be wrong! There are times when we give...

...facilities perform in-house lab testing. My project will deal with collecting data on the types of tests each office conducts in house, weekly volume, which vendor is used, and what analyzers are located in the facilities. Once the spreadsheet is compiled, a team of laboratory experts and myself will go through the tests to set criteria on which test is allowed to be done in-house and which tests need to be sent to the CPA lab or the Ancillary Lab. From this project, I will be able to determine the expenses and reimbursement rates to help vet the test menu. The intern program also consists of weekly “Coffee Clutches”. This one-hour sessions gives us the chance to meet and mingle with Norton Administrators. The first week, we met the Rev. Ron Oliver. He talked a great deal about work-life balance and how to embrace opportunities. The next week, we met Al Cornish, the Chief Learning Officer. During this meeting, we learned about the importance of learning and the free benefits to employees by Norton University. Through this past month, my favorite part has been meeting with everyone including the intern team. I have enjoyed getting to know students who come from different backgrounds from me. Of course, having two of my classmates on the team does not hurt either. I look forward to the camaraderie that develops this...

...The answer to the ethical question depending on the approach used in the reasoning. From the stand point of ethical egoism students acted on their best benefit by cheating on the final exam. But in a long term perspective, students failed themselves by not obtaining required knowledge for their future successful life. In other hand, according to ethical egoism Institution and teaching assistant are at fault. Compare to Penn State Child abuse example giving in the textbook, in the case of Harvard University the parties that haven’t acted on their short term benefits were teaching assistant by whistleblowing and Institution by taking the actions. The short term damage that Harvard University leaders faced was bad publicity, but actions of the students were unacceptable according to the President of Harvard University Drew Faust: “These allegations, if proven, represent totally unacceptable behavior that betrays the trust upon which intellectual inquiry at Harvard depends” (CNN News). Even though his action wasn’t justified by the egoistic approach, it was the right thing to do according to the enlightened egoism. Assistant professor failed in a long run by misleading students on what was acceptable and what was considered as an academic misconduct. According to Dorothy L.R. Jones. Norfolk State University: “Academic integrity is a learned skill that faculty members can teach and model.” (Academic Dishonesty: Are More Students Cheating). In the long run by his actions he attracted...

...Page 23 TRANSFORMATION FROM WITHIN: THE CDBG CASE Scott Johnson, Northeastern State University David Kern, Northeastern State University Katie Haight, Northeastern State University Ryan Haight, Northeastern State University CASE DESCRIPTION This case is designed for the study of leadership and organizational change within a unit of a larger organization. As such it provides an important learning experience for students who are already managers or who aspire to that level of responsibility. The primary learning opportunities address building a vision at the unit level, restructuring for success, overcoming resistance to change internally and across other units of a larger corporation, building support with powerful sponsors, and the importance of communication and persistence where authority is limited. The case has a difficulty level appropriate for undergraduate seniors and graduate students, and is designed for courses addressing organizational change, leading change, and leading teams. It can be covered in a one hour class. Preparation for the case is expected to require 3-4 hours.

Discovery in Labor Arbitration Laura J.Cooper* The mere statement of the topic, discovery in labor arbitration, suggests a paradox. Is not the essence of the arbitration process an effort to avoid the procedural complexities that make litigation comparatively slow and costly? More than forty years ago, Learned Hand admonished a litigant distressed with the procedural failings of an arbitration proceeding: Arbitration may or may not be a desirable substitute for trials in courts; as to that the parties must decide in each instance. But when they have adopted it, they must be content with its informalities; they may not hedge it about with those procedural limitations which it is precisely its purpose...

...PHYSICIAN-ASSISTED SUICIDE: LEGALITY AND MORALITY Wednesday - May 8th, 2002 By Martin Levin, 107 Irving Street, Cambridge, MA 02138 (617)-497-6828 mlevin@levinlaw.com On Sunday, June 21, 1992, Jennifer Cowart, age thirty-two, and her brother George Kowalski, age twenty-eight, traveled to Pensacola Beach, Florida, for a day of relaxation. At the end of the day, Jennifer and George were heading back to their vehicle when Jennifer noticed a go-kart track. The two entered the track, bought tickets, and began riding. Within one minute, Jennifer’s go-kart bumped into one of the side guardrails, flipped on its side, and burst into flames. Jennifer was seat-belted in the go-kart and could not get out. George tried to run into the fire to save his sister, but the flames were too intense. Bystanders attempted to use a fire extinguisher, but it did little to lessen the inferno. Jennifer was trapped in the burning go-kart for two minutes when her seat-belt finally burned through and she fell to the ground. George grabbed his sister and pulled her away from the fire. Jennifer was alive. She was lying on the asphalt alert, oriented, and coherent. She had suffered 3rd and 4th degree burns covering ninety-five percent of her body. She was suffering the worst pain imaginable. At the scene, Jennifer begged the rescue personnel to “let me die.” Instead, Jennifer was flown to a burn center in Mobile, Alabama, where she remained for one year until she was overcome by an infection...

Wait—let’s stop there. To be honest, I kind of cringe at the thought of this being a weight loss book, because I firmly believe that we are so much more than numbers and that what really matters in life is who we are, not what we weigh.

I am very grateful that you are here, and I am excited to share my story and what I’ve learned from working with thousands of women just like you.

...Bad Bug Book Handbook of Foodborne Pathogenic Microorganisms and Natural Toxins Introduction Food safety is a complex issue that has an impact on all segments of society, from the general public to government, industry, and academia. The second edition of the Bad Bug Book, published by the Center for Food Safety and Applied Nutrition, of the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, provides current information about the major known agents that cause foodborne illness. The information provided in this handbook is abbreviated and general in nature, and is intended for practical use. It is not intended to be a comprehensive scientific or clinical reference. Under the laws administered by FDA, a food is adulterated if it contains (1) a poisonous or otherwise harmful substance that is not an inherent natural constituent of the food itself, in an amount that poses a reasonable possibility of injury to health, or (2) a substance that is an inherent natural constituent of the food itself; is not the result of environmental, agricultural, industrial, or other contamination; and is present in an amount that ordinarily renders the food injurious to health. The first includes, for example, a toxin produced by a fungus that has contaminated a food, or a pathogenic bacterium or virus, if the amount present in the food may be injurious to health. An example of the second...
