...First two weeks: Stretch as a team, then separate into 3 main groups: (1) Endurance athletes, (2) Mid-distance (3) sprinters, jumpers, throwers. Team leaders per group will be helpful. Train event specific. Research shows specificity of training will negatively or positively impact performance if the workouts are not event specific. During stretching use 30-seconds stretch hold positions for the first two weeks, but switch to dynamic stretching after two weeks. Research shows static stretching will slightly impair speed and strength for up to an hour afterwards, which is desirable the first two weeks to prevent injury. Training principles: Train event specific! Focusing on quality of training improves performance, quantity training decreases performance, even for endurance athletes. Training sequence: Heavy/light/heavy/light/off (one of the heavy days needs to have a killer ladder) Train all three muscle fibers; slow, fast, and super fast “Train fast to be fast.” Running, jumping or throwing at slower than performance will decrease future performance unless it is for strength training or technique. Most races are lost based not by the lack of endurance, but the lack of speed. In track and field, athletes are on their own during meets to a degree, and it’s important to train athletes to prepare themselves for their events. Training process: Post workouts, have group leaders check off athletes as they finish their daily workout assignments. Complete...

...Assignment #2 – Family Related Law, Ethics, and Corporate Governance – LEG 500 May, 2011 1. Explain if it matters that a parent literally had nothing to do with a biological child in order for the child to take advantage of the Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA) to care for that parent. Under the Family and medical Leave Act (FMLA), a child can take care of their biological parent. This is even true even if that parent literally had nothing to do with the child growing up. The Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA) provides an entitlement of up to 12 weeks of job-protected, unpaid leave during any 12-month period to eligible, covered employees for the following reasons: 1) birth and care of the eligible employee's child, or placement for adoption or foster care of a child with the employee; 2) care of an immediate family member (spouse, child, parent) who has a serious health condition; or 3) care of the employee's own serious health condition. It also requires that employee's group health benefits be maintained during the leave. The FMLA is administered by the Employment Standards Administration's Wage and Hour Division within the U.S. Department of Labor (www.dol.gov). 2. Explain whether the size of the business can have any effect on whether Tony is eligible for family leave under the FMLA. The Family & Medical Leave Act (FMLA) applies to your company if you employ over 50 employees within 75 miles of the worksite, and at least 50 of your employees...

...LEG 500: Law, Ethics, and Corporate Governance | Assignment 3-Employers Duty of Care | 8/14/2011 | 1. Explain whether Jake’s actions are “in or out of his scope of employment.” The definition of “Scope of Employment” according to Oklahoma States Risk Management and Environmental Health and Safety is, “Scope of employment: means performance by an employee acting in good faith within the duties of his office of employment or of tasks lawfully assigned by a competent authority including the operation or use of an agency vehicle or equipment with actual or implied consent of the supervisor of the employee, but shall not include corruption or fraud.” Whether Jake is acting in or out of his scope of employment depends on Jakes job description. Jake has recently been promoted to Service Manager and receives salary pay, Jake stated that he still does the same job, even with a new job title and salary pay. The question that one would need to ask is, what is Jake supposed to be doing? Should he be working on cars or supervising his employees? If Jake is not to work on cars he is acting out of the scope of his employment and vice versa. Herman didn’t mind Jake doing the oil changes; Jake was given permission to change oil for the customers, therefore when Jake cut his thumb he was acting in the scope of his employment. Jake was acting in good faith when he decided to go the extra mile to make sure the customer’s cars were thoroughly checked. 2. Explain whether or...

...ASSIGNMENT #3 – EMPLOYER’S DUTY OF CARE ALICE F. EDDINGTON PROFESSOR RHONDA J. WILLIAMS EVANS LAW, ETHICS, AND GOVERANCE LEG 500 February 11, 2012 Explain whether Jake’s actions are in or out of “his scope of employment.” The relationship between the employer and employees determines the success of a business. The employee should show that he is loyal to his employer. His work ethic should show the integrity and honesty in fulfilling his duties. He should be bound to fulfill the obligations entrusted in him upon being hired. The employee should follow all rules and regulations that have been set forth by the employer. If the employer finds the employee in dereliction of his duties, he may penalize or fire him. On the other hand, the employer is to provide a safe work environment for his employees. He is to inform them of what is expected from them. In doing so, he needs to make sure that his instructions are clearly communicated to the employees. If he fails to communicate effectively, there is a possibility that the employees may make mistakes in their work. During the promotional, Herman has instructed Jake to change the oil. Jake being a certified mechanic, he is not only changing the oil, but he is also checking the brakes, tires, transmission etc. Herman doesn’t seem to thrill about this, he only want him to change the oil. But Jake argues that he is supposed to keep up his standards as a certified mechanic. With the promotion going on, he is...

...“Family Related Issue” Kathy Butler Strayer University Law & Ethics in the Business Environment LEG 500 Dana H. Evans, JD October 28, 2011 Abstract In this assignment, the topic “Family Medical Leave Act of 1993”, is discussed as relating to a video involving a car sales employee named Tony and his supervisor Herman. The definition of the FMLA is discussed, covered persons, and employer eligibility. As relating to the video, an explanation of whether or not it matters that a parent’s involvement determines a child’s participation is discussed, whether the size of a business matters, whether or not Herman can imply Tony’s employment status when he returns back to work, and to what extent can an employer make their own decisions and eligibility determination concerning FMLA. In explaining whether or not the relationship between a child and his parent has any bearing on The Family Medical Leave Act of 1993, let me first explain what the law entails. This a law that grants employees entitlement of up to 12 weeks unpaid leave while protecting their job upon their return (http://www.dol.gov/cpmpliance/laws/comp-fmla.htm). The time off allows for employers to take time off for their immediate family such as parents, and children and also their spouse should they suffer from a health condition that warrants their care (http://www.dol.gov/cpmpliance/laws/comp-fmla.htm). The law does not specify whether or not that parent had anything to do with parenting...

...Running Header: Video Assignment Family Related Issues Strayer University Professor Whitney Davis, Esq. LEG 500 29 January 2012 Explain if it matters that a parent literally had nothing to do with a biological child in order for the child to take advantage of the Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA) to care for that parent. No, it does not matter if the parent was in the employee's life as long as it is the employee's parent then they are able to use FMLA. The type of relationship or lack thereof between a child and their biological parent has no bearing on whether an employee is eligible for FMLA. An employee can ask to use FMLA to care for a family member (whether they had nothing to do with them), for their own physical or mental health care and after the birth or adoption of a child. The Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA) provides an entitlement of up to 12 weeks of job protected and unpaid leave during any 12 month period to eligible covered employees and employers must grant eligible employees this right. Explain whether the size of the business can have any effect on whether Tony is eligible for Family Leave under the FMLA. Yes, but not in the way Herman describes. Herman is trying to use business necessity as a reason to keep Tony from taking a family leave to help his ill father. The Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA) applies to a company if there are over 50 employees within 75 miles of the worksite, and at least 50 of the employees’ work...

...Week 3 Assignment 1: Whistleblowing and Sarbanes-Oxley Shirmere N. Gardner Dr. Susan Gerber LEG 500: Law, Ethics & Corporate Governance January 25, 2015 Abstract This text will examine the key characteristics of a whistleblower, as well as the details surrounding the JPMorgan whistleblowing event. The extent to which whistleblowers are protected under the Sarbanes-Oxley Act (SOX) will also be elaborated. Key Characteristics of a Whistleblower Whistleblowers are individuals who choose to report unethical and illegal activities. Some may work for various organizations such as non-profits and government agencies. Whistleblowing empowers employees to adhere to ethical principles and speak up for things taking place that are unethical, which may affect consumers, citizens or other employees. Such information may be disclosed to company officials, government authorities, and the media. Some of the key characteristics of a whistleblower are that they are altruistically motivated, utilitarian, uninterested in altering their behavior and they allow their own attitudes and beliefs to guide them. Most whistleblowers are often well-educated and hold professional positions (Wines, 2005). JP Morgan Whistleblower According to a Reuters article a JPMorgan whistleblower was compensated $63.9 million in a mortgage fraud deal. “Keith Edwards, a Louisiana resident, had worked for JP Morgan or its predecessors from 2003 to 2008, and had been an...

...ASSIGNMENT #2 – FAMILY RELATED ISSUES ALICE F. EDDINGTON PROFESSOR RHONDA J. WILLIAMS EVANS LAW, ETHICS, AND GOVERANCE LEG 500 JANUARY 26, 2012 Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA) What is the Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA)? It is an act that was passed in 1993; it is a national policy that grants workers up to twelve weeks of unpaid leave in four situations. The four are: pregnancy, caring for an infant, this includes new borns, adoptions, and foster children that have been placed in your home, caring for a seriously ill relative, or to allow the employee to recover from a serious injury or surgery. (Halbert, 2010) Explain if it matters that a parent literally had nothing to do with a biological child in order for the child to take advantage of the Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA) to care for the parent. According to the FMLA, a parent is the biological parent of an employee or any person who acted as a parent to an employee when she or he was a child. Parents not literally caring for the biological child has no resolve as to whether the child should be granted leave to care for the biological parent (DOL, 2009). Tony’s father was never in his life, but now that his father is sick, he is willing to take care of him. Herman has no right to tell him that he can’t take care of him because he was never there. When he thought he was putting him in a nursing home, he was all for letting him take time off for that. But when he asked for leave to check...

Much of marketing involves activities that are costly for the firm, while revenue generation depends on pricing that is sustainable and profitable. Students in this course will learn both the principles that can guide pricing and the practical considerations that make pricing a challenge. Sustainable and profitable pricing stands on three legs: costs, competition and consumer value. Some managers focus too much on costs, while others focus too much on competition. Decisions made in this way are typically not good. As we will see in this course, a manager is best served by making sure that pricing is consistent with the positioning strategy and thus fits well with other choices such as segmentation, advertising and distribution. Those interested in careers in brand management, technology marketing, consulting, product management and strategy will all find something useful in the course. It is useful to have a numbers orientation to get the...
