...Negotiations Frasier case A. Who are the parties in the Frasier negotiation and what are their interests? (Viacom, CBS, Paramount, Kelsey) – (NBC, NBC West Coast ((Graboff)), ABC) The parties involved in the Frasier negotiations consist of NBC, Paramount, and actor Kelsey Grammar. Paramount and Kelsey had personal interest to extend the show 3 years. Kelsey Grammar wanted to rank in history as being an actor with having the record for the longest-running primetime television character in TV. Without Kelsey Grammar (Frasier), Paramount, and NBC would not have a TV series. NBC did not view the show Frasier as having another 3 years of life and did not want to invest in another 3 years. Additionally, NBC deemed Paramount’s price per episode to high and wanted to minimize what they saw as a loss of revenue. B. What is Paramount’s BATNA? What is your estimate of their reservation price? Paramount was banking on the fact that Frasier was the flagpole show of NBC and its success in the time slot. If they quit NBC, both Paramount and NBC would suffer while Paramount would have suffered the most. Paramount best alternative would have been to shop the show around to other networks in the case that the negotiations with NBC broke down. Paramount however was limited in networks to promote the show to due to the shows high overhead cost and industry consolidation. Due to these circumstances I would estimate Paramount’s reservation price around 5.25 million as Paramount...

...New York City comptroller. Spitzer said that "over 27,000 signatures" were submitted to the city Board of Elections just after 10:30 p.m. Thursday, ahead of a midnight deadline. It came just four days after the tarnished ex-governor launched his campaign. Spitzer needs 3,750 valid petition signatures to get on the Democratic primary ballot for September. "I just want to first and foremost thank the citizens of New York that signed these petitions," Spitzer said outside the Board of Elections office in lower Manhattan. "I want to say it's an important statement for those who said it was not possible in the course of three and a half days to gather these signatures to get a candidate on the ballot for citywide office." Meanwhile, NBC said Spitzer would appear on "The Tonight Show" with Jay Leno Friday night. "Saturday Night Live" cast member Bill Hader, who did an impression of Spitzer in a 2010 skit, also was scheduled. The filing may not be the last word. Spitzer's opponents or others could challenge signatures for reasons such as incomplete addresses or missing dates. If that happens, elections officials will have to review the objections, hold a hearing late this month and decide whether the signatures qualify. The matter could ultimately go to court. Spitzer, who resigned amid a prostitution scandal in 2008, startled the political establishment and shook up what had been a tame comptroller's race by jumping into it, a decision he says he just made over the...

...Social relationships In the workplace it is important to keep a professional-client relationship. With this relationship it is only alright for a client to meet a professional in their office and nowhere else. Boundaries have to be made aware so there is no way that the client and professional can get confused about the relationship and what the professional does to help the client. Managing boundaries should be one of the first things that are stated to the client. The client should realize that the professional wants to help them but can’t go to any event or become socially aquainted to the clients. Neither the client nor professional should become friends and have a life outside of the office. In the video the client asked the professional to go for coffee because she felt as if the office was to stuffy and wanted to get some fresh air. The professional asked her why she felt as if that was a good idea to be sensitive to maybe her culture. He handled it ethically correct and told her how that might not be a good idea being that there could be boundaries being broken. I would prevent any boundaries being broken before it even happened by telling the client the boundaries. I would automatically state that it is not good for the professional and client relationship if we were to become friends and explain to them why it would not be a good idea to become friends in the professional relationship. If they were to ever invite me out of the outside of the office I would...

...This generation today has its up and downs. Basically everything that this generation does is different than generations before. Technology is a big entity is this generation. Aside from technology, clothing has taken a huge toll on kids today. In addition to clothing, music is unalike between both generations. In this day and age, technology, clothing, and music have changed significantly between past generations. In today’s time, teenagers use technology for basically everything. For example, teenagers use social networking like Facebook, or text messaging to date other people. However in other generations, two people simply met face to face and asked each other out on a date. If someone in today’s age wants to look up weather or a definition to a word, Google from their smart phone simply does that for him/her. As opposed to other generations, people had to watch television to look up weather, and look into a dictionary to define a word. Lastly, teenagers in this generation use eBay to shop for things that they want from the internet. Whereas older generations went to the store, or mall to get things that they wanted. The way people dress has come a long way between generations. This generation today wears clothing that is unnecessarily colorful, and large or small. However in other generations, people wore normal clothing that suits them. Today, men wear pants below their waist, and sometimes below their butt. As opposed to other generations, men wear pants normally...

...Stephan Mitrovic My chosen celebrity is Stephan Mitrovic the celebrated talented professional footballer playing for the Italian side S. L Benfica. The public personality that would suit Stephan Mitrovic is being the brand ambassador of sportswear franchise like adidas. This is because he is a talented and celebrated sportsman thus a link to a sportswear franchise would appeal more to the public. The target audience by such a brand ambassador move would be mainly young male adults and the youth. This is because this category of people are the most enthusiastic and avid fans of the sport. By being a brand ambassador for the particular sportswear franchise, Stephan Mestrovic’s image would appeal to the public. The successful and talented professional career he has at soccer would be related to the sportswear brand hence more appeal to the public. The strategy to make Stephan Mitrovic more appealing to the public would include him making appearance in the highly rated talk show like CNN’s Piers Morgan Live show and the Jay Leno Show. This is because these shows are mostly watched by the target audience and as such would be appealing to the young men and adults alike. Another effective strategy that would make him endearing to American audience is by through a photo-shoot with him donning clothes from the brand he represents for example adidas (Cameron & Ault, 2007). Strategic placement of billboards across towns and in sports stadia across the nation would pay off as his fans...

...Student Client-Server Network Instructor Steven Wilhelm Project 2 31014 Charles Hays II I would say that the best lay out for a server system would be to setup the office with one physical server in the office which would act as the main DNS and this server would run on windows 8 server. You may ask why only one server? The simple answer is this I would setup the email server, print server and the office server would all be set as cloud servers this would save us on space as well as allow employees with the right permission to access the servers from any location via hardwired or wireless. How would I set up the group polices? Let’s star with the BC (Bereavement counselors) and the PCC (practitioner clinical counselor manager) I would set them up as local group with permission save to and access the print server and office server this is would allow them to access patient records from the server as well as save then for the doctors and nurses to access later. Also the TC (intake coordinator) and the VC (volunteer counselor) would be set up as a local group with the same access and permission as the BC this is due to the fact that like the BC I believe that due to the fact that thy are only inputting information and updating information, I see no need to allow them to have full access to system this to groups would have NTFS list folder contents permission...

...broadcasting in the United States was dominated by two companies, CBS and RCA's NBC. Before NBC's 1926 formation, RCA had acquired AT&T Corporation's New York City station WEAF (later WNBC, now CBS-owned WFAN). With WEAF came a loosely organized system feeding programming to other stations in the northeastern U.S. RCA, before the acquisition of the WEAF group in mid-1926, had previously owned a second such group, with WJZ in Newark as the lead station (purchased by RCA in 1923 from Westinghouse) . These were the foundations of RCA's two programming services, the NBC "Red" and NBC "Blue" networks. Legend has it that the color designations originated from the color of the push-pins early engineers used to designate affiliates of WEAF (red pins) and WJZ (blue pins). After a three-year investigation, the FCC in May 1940 issued a "Report on Chain Broadcasting." Finding that NBC Red, NBC Blue, CBS, and MBS dominated American broadcasting, this report proposed "divorcement", requiring the sale by RCA of one of its chains. NBC Red was the larger radio network, carrying the leading entertainment and music programs. In addition, many Red affiliates were high-powered, clear-channel stations, heard nationwide. NBC Blue offered most of the company's news and cultural programs, many of them "sustaining" or unsponsored. Among other findings, the FCC claimed RCA used NBC Blue to suppress competition against NBC Red. The FCC did not regulate or license networks directly, but it could influence...

...For the exclusive use of X. Guo, 2016. 9-801-447 REV: JUNE 13, 2002 GUHAN SUBRAMANIAN Frasier (A) Just one day into his new job at the National Broadcasting Company (NBC), and Mark Graboff had a problem. Graboff was leading the team that was responsible for renegotiating the rights to Frasier, a popular television show that would play a critical role in NBC’s fall 2001 programming lineup. While Paramount, the owner of the show, seemed to be demanding $8 million per episode in the press, NBC had calculated that it would have to pay under $5 million in order to make a profit on the show. Multiplying by 24 episodes per season, and multiplying again by the three-year term that Paramount was insisting on, the gap seemed insurmountable. Making matters worse, the most likely other bidder for the show was the Columbia Broadcasting th System (CBS), a rival network to NBC and Graboff’s former employer. “On November 13 [2000], my last day at CBS, I was putting the finishing touches on CBS’s contract extension to Everybody Loves Raymond,” recalled Graboff. “And I was thinking, ‘Thank goodness this deal is almost done.’ The next day I began at NBC, and I was faced with an equally arduous negotiation.” Graboff watched the sun set over the Los Angeles skyline as he began familiarizing himself with the background documents on the negotiation. Industry Background Behind the glitz and the glamour, the stars and the scandals, Hollywood is, at its core, a business. Studios...

...I am writing this email to chronicle the conversation we had yesterday in your office yesterday (March 14th, 2018). As of late, my wife and I have been having difficulties with our neighbor in the unit directly below us. He has taken it upon himself to confront us on a regular basis about the noise coming from upstairs. The first incident happened in the month of December when the gentlemen yelled at our daughter to, “get your mother out here, now,” and proceeded to furiously bang on our door. After the matter, I had a conversation with him discussing the situation, reminding him that adults should discuss disagreements through words as opposed to acting irrationally. I also agreed to make a stronger effort to keep the children quiet during the daytime hours. As a point of reference, here is a list of activities we do with our children on a consistent basis: preschool with Monika three days a week; swimming at the gym 2-3 times a week; trips to the zoo and museum at least weekly; visiting grandparents 2-3 times a week (mostly on weekends); work third shift often, in which my wife keeps the children quiet so that I can sleep. In addition, we frequently remind our children that the house is not a play area, and tell them be respectful of the neighbor’s peacefulness. Sammy, our youngest child, takes naps during the afternoons, meaning that the apartment is silent during this time period. Despite all these efforts to contain the noise coming from our children, our neighbor...

...How does anyone successfully begins an about me page? I’m completely socially awkward, and I have no normal vein in my body. I will just go ahead and just jump into it, well I will begin with the important part of my life and the purpose of this blog I suppose. A few years ago, I went to the ER due to bleeding and severe cramping. I knew as we were driving there that something was wrong. I knew something was terribly wrong with my little squishy. As we went through the process, I was lying on the examination table and it happened. I had lost my little squishy. I was far enough along to know gender. It was one of the worst things ever. I was told later that I had abnormally high blood glucose, but a relatively normal a1c (average glucose level during certain periods of time that indicates if you are diabetic or not). It turns out I was wasn’t diagnosed for gestational diabetes. It was initially assumed I may have been type 2, but after the loss of squishy my glucose levels returned to normal. I was normal in a sense. This was just days after Thanksgiving. I had a physical in July of 2014 and I was told I was in great shape. However, months later I oddly had symptoms of being a diabetic. I was afraid, but got screened. I was told I was indeed officially a type 2 diabetic. I was also told that I should go immediately to the ER because my a1c was relatively high, and it was possible harm to the fetus. Fetus? What Fetus? I looked at her kind of confused and she replied, “Oh you’re...

What is the average time a unit spends at this workstation? Inventory, , Throughput, . Thus, Flow time, . A unit spends an average time of 5 days at this workstation. Q2: The Wilcox Student Health Center has just implemented a new computer system and service process to “improve efficiency.” As pharmacy manager, you are concerned about waiting time and its potential impact on college students who “get no respect.” All prescriptions (Rxs) go through the following process: Drop-off ! Fill Rx ! Pick-up ! Cashier Assume that students arrive to drop-off Rxs at a steady rate of 2 Rxs per minute, with an average of one Rx per student. The average number of students in process (those who are waiting and those who are being served) at each station is: Drop-off - 5 students Pick-up - 3 students Pay cashier - 6 students On average, the Fill Rx station has 40 Rxs in process and waiting. Because of this perceived long wait, 95% of the students decide to come back later for pick-up. They come back an average of 3 hours later. If the students choose to stay, their name is called as soon as the Rx is filled and they then enter the pick-up line. Assume that the system is operating at a steady state. a) The flow diagram for the entire process: Come back later 95% Start End Drop-off 100% 5% Pick-up Cashier Flow paths for students ...

Using telegraph communication led into the advancements in wireless communications. That improvement made a smooth transition into radio, television, and other broadcast Medias. Not long after this advancement, this allowed media networks, for example, the National Broadcasting Company (NBC) and the Columbia Broadcasting System (CBS) to dominate the airways (Lule, 2012). Once these inventions and new methods were constructed, they immediately took part in American homes. With radio and televisions shows emerging the 19th-century home was beginning to embrace the fact that media was taking a part in American life. While media technologies were advancing with the telegraph and wireless new ways of living, photographic technologies was rapidly rising as well.
