...Constitutional Rights By Janie M. Long Dr. Joseph McCue PAD 525 2/21/2016 Abstract Lawrence Korb was employed by Raytheon Corporation in the year 1985 as deputy president in charge of Washington operations after having served as an assistant secretary of defense from the year 1981 to 1985. In this capacity, as the head of Raytheon Washington, Korb was accountable for congressional relations and in direct contact with the government departments especially department of Defense. Korb then brought a lawsuit against Raytheon Corporation that his employment contract was terminated wrongfully based on the evidence produced in court that he wrongly exercised his right of speech; however he claimed that his right of speech was protected by the first amendment to the United States constitution as well as article XVI of Massachusetts declaration of rights. Therefore in regard to his complaints of the Raytheon corporation, together with the ruling court, this paper will analyze and evaluate each case by providing , facts about each case, critical issues and the final ruling, besides an analysis and explanation of the challenges with freedom of speech, freedom of information, challenges with employment law; a discussion of the public perceptions of Raytheon and its influence with the Department of Defense and a discussion of any fraud or misrepresentation on either side of the case. According to the facts of the case Korb v. Raytheon, 707 F. Supp. 63 (D. Mass. 1989), Korb became...

...Learning by Doing Strayer University PAD 525 Abstract According to Szypszak (2012) “the law should not be encrypted, nor require a lawyer to decipher. Legal research is not locating a definitive answer to a simple question; productive research is dependent upon “good sense” that a formal rule might exist” (pg. 307). Denoted in Szypszak (2012) an approach many researchers utilize to interpret the language of the U.S. Constitution and the U.S. legal system in order to explain the principles and process of constitutional, regulatory, and administrative laws at the federal and state levels is using the “case” approach. The methodology of research for this paper is using technology and information resources for researching cases, laws, and other legal communications (Szypszak, 2012). Learning by Doing 1. Your state’s statute that defines what is considered to be a public record that must be made available to the public upon request. The Virginia Freedom of Information Act (FOIA), located § 2.2-3700 et. seq. of the Code of Virginia, guarantees citizens of the Commonwealth and representatives of the media access to public records held by public bodies, public officials, and public employees. The guiding principle of FOIA states that the objective of FOIA is to encourage attentiveness by all persons of governmental activities. In broadening this strategy, FOIA requires that the law be interpreted liberally, in favor of access, and that any exemption allowing...

...Teri R. Taylor PAD – Week 1 Dr. Udom 12/15/09 1. It is important for you to understand what administrative law is. Briefly, it is the branch of law that deals with public administration, provideing authority on which administrative agencies operate as well as the limits necessary to control them. Having studied chapter 1 of Cooper, go beyond this basic definition and discuss administrative law broadly and narrowly. Answer: One will find that “administrative law” has been defined in two senses. On the one hand, the concept has a broad sense that includes “not only administrative powers, their exercise, and remedies but also such subjects as the various forms of administrative agencies; the exercise of and limitations upon regulatory power; the law of the civil service; the acquisition and management of governmental property; public works; and administrative obligations.” Having recognized this broad sense, however, most legal practitioners tend to dismiss that perspective in favor of a narrower conception. The authors, who work from a narrow view of administrative law, base their definition on a number of specific distinctions that should not be quiclky or uncritically made and one key omission that has become increasingly important. First, there is the oft-repeated assumption that administrative law is procedural and not substantive. A second distinction on which the narrow definition rests concerns what is sometimes called the internal versus external dichotomy...

...Chinese restaurants. It was served with a spicy black bean sauce, which I found to be interesting because I never thought of that as a Japanese flavor. However, I must say I have never tasted a better flavor to go along with edamame. Also as an appetizer, I ordered the Philadelphia Cream Cheese Wonton, which was my favorite part of the meal. This dish definitely had an American feel to go along with the Asian style because of the cream cheese. They were deep-fried and served hot with a sweet duck sauce to dip them in. They were unbelievable. Next up was my entrée! I decided to order the Chicken Pad Thai, which is a traditional Thai dish. The rice noodles were stir fried with carrots and scallions in a traditional Mandarin sweet and spicy Pad Thai sauce. The sauce included a hint of Thai curry, which blended all the flavors of spicy, sweet, and peanut into a delectable dish. I have had many Pad Thai dishes before, but this one was right up there with the best of them. Being at an Asian restaurant, I decided to go away from my norm and picked the Green Tea Crème Brulee. I was very interested to see how it would come out considering Crème Brulee is a French dessert that is usually flavored with vanilla. Green Tea has Asian origins, which is why they used that flavor. The dessert was not my favorite, but I had to try what is customary to the restaurant. Overall, this meal was delicious and I plan on returning in the near...

The cruise is the culmination of nearly two months of work preparing the rocket, payload, and launch teams for the mission. Prior to operations at Home Port, about 18 months goes into the planning, flight design, and logistics. “It’s really nice to know most of the reviews are over and we’re finally ready to launch,” said Bill Rujevcan, mission director for the company’s next flight. More than 300 people take the trip to the company’s equatorial launch site about 1,400 miles south of Hawaii. The crew includes workers from several nations, including: Ukraine, Russia, Norway, the Philippines, and the United States. Ukraine-based Yuzhnoye and Yuzhmash build the Zenit 3SL rocket’s first and second stages, while Energia of Russia manufactures the Block DM-SL upper stage for the rocket. Norwegian ship officers manage marine operations, and Filipino deckhands work on both the Sea Launch Commander and the Odyssey launch platform. U.S. employees from the Boeing Co. fill management roles and provide the flight design, payload fairing, and satellite adapter.

...Graphic Design IT/236 Introduction to Web Design I May 20th 2015 Professor Frank Futyma Project Proposal: Graphic Design My website, LVsplashpads.com, will be incorporating a few different plug-ins and multimedia features. When the site is first introduced, I anticipate to only having pictures from splash pads from around the city, however, I would eventually like to have live streams available of specific splash pads if possible. I would like to set up a feature where user’s of the website may upload small video’s to the website and they can be broadcast to everyone who logs in, so they can see the conditions of a specific splash pad as well as how busy it may be on that particular day. I would like to include small videos that I will personally upload to the site, showing a brief walk through each park for all users to view when they would like. Graphics will most definitely make up a majority of my site, as it will give the user a visual of the place that they would like to visit. I will have a few scattered pictures of random splash pads incorporated on the main page, however, I will have a specific page on the site where I will put all other splash pad pictures as well as give users a chance to upload their own! I know it is out of the spectrum of things that I could include now but having a live feed on my page is something that I would like to have and having the ability to load graphics onto this live feed would be very interesting in my opinion. I believe...

...that the encryption type used was substitution. Here, ciphertext were used to replace the plaintext. As an Intelligence Personnel, I would have done couple of things differently. Even though the Choctaw Codetalkers and Enigma Encryption Device were direct results of the failure of Zimmerman Telegram, the latter was used by the United States during the same period of World War 1. It is important to note here that there was already an encryption method which must have been ignored by the Germans. The One-Time Pad was already in use before the start of World War 1. This encryption method according to Nicholas G. McDonald in his Research Review explained that the one-time pad encryption algorithm was invented in the early 1900's, and has since been proven as unbreakable. The one time algorithm is derived from a previous cipher called Vernam Cipher, named after Gilbert Vernam. The Vernam Cipher was a cipher that combined a message with a key read from a paper tape or pad. The Vernam Cipher was not unbreakable until Joseph Mauborgne recognized that if the key was completely random the cryptanalytic difficultly would be equal to attempting every possible key. Another point worthy of mention is the mistake of sending the entire message in one transaction. As an Intelligence Officer I would have broken the message in shorter telegrams. The chances of intercepting all of the messages would have been very slim. McDonald, N. 2009 Past, Present, and Future Methods of Cryptography and...

...Constitutional and Administrative Law Pad525 Week 8 Cyber-terrorism Submitted By Rodney Leak rodneyleak@gmail.com Submitted To: Dr. Udoh Udom May 27, 2011 If you have thoroughly read chapter 11 of Cooper, you would appreciate his analysis of the problems presented in the acquisition, use and dissemination of information. Information is power - this is why we are studying PAD 525. The government needs information for national security purposes. Terrorists and hackers find ways to access sensitive information from the government. National secrets are at bay. Individual identities are no longer private because personal information are easily accessible along cyber-highway. If you have also read the Patriot Act, you will note enormous anxiety on the part of the government to search for and use information for national security purposes. The government is not only trying to contain politically motivated terrorism, it is also trying to contain cyber-terrorism. Examine the security challenges and threats facing the US government through the lenses of the emerging cyber-security threats. Currently we are experiencing a boom in technology from computers that lets you stream movies to you television to phones that lets you take pictures and gives your exact global positioning systems location (gps). Here is the issue with all of the newly created science and research for development of these programs, there is someone who is vigorously trying to break into to cause...

...Case Brief Summary: Marbury v. Madison Robert L. Broadwater PAD 525 Strayer University Dr. O’Neal July 09, 2012 Summary of Marbury v. Madison, 5 U.S. 137, 1 Cranch 137, 2 L. Ed. 60 (1803). Facts The incumbent president Federalist John Adams was defeat in the presidential election by Democratic-Republican Thomas Jefferson. The day before leaving office, President John Adams named forty-two justices of the peace and sixteen new circuit court justices for the District of Columbia. This was an attempt by the Federalists to take control of the federal judiciary before Thomas Jefferson took office. The commissions were signed by President Adams and sealed by acting Secretary of State John Marshall but they were not delivered before the expiration of Adams’s term as president. Thomas Jefferson refused to honor the commissions, claiming that they were invalid because they had not been delivered by the end of Adams’s term. William Marbury (Plaintiff) was an intended recipient of an appointment as justice of the peace. Marbury applied directly to the Supreme Court of the United States for a writ of mandamus to compel Jefferson’s Secretary of State, James Madison (Defendant), to deliver the commissions. The Judiciary Act of 1789 had granted the Supreme Court original jurisdiction to issue writs of mandamus “…to any courts appointed, or persons holding office, under the authority of the United States.” Ironically, John Marshall later became Chief Justice of the Supreme Court and...

Raytheonr of 1989 is a case predicated on the freedom of speech and if a corporation has the right to dismiss you based on whether your speech directly or indirectly affects the company and a individual as there is associated with that company. Mr Korb was released from his duties as vice president for Washington operations of Raytheon Corporation because he spoke the media publicly and expressed views in direct conflict with the corporation's economic interest. It was noted that he spoke on behalf of the organization that he joined the executive board of the Committee for National Security (CNS). Although he was given permission by his company join CNS the company wanted Mr. Korb to still uphold the values and corporate initiatives the represented. Mr Korb gave a press conference on February 25, 1986 with CNS in the senate building during Korb's normal lunch hour in connection with the release of its annual alternative defense budget. Korb spoke at the press conference. Because this was during lunch and not an unscheduled break Mr. Korb felt like he wouldn’t be associated with Raytheon. The reporters present at the press definitely did as they reported to their outlets. The Washington Post newspaper the day after the press conference reported on the event. The article described Korb as a former assistant secretary of defense and now a private civil citizen working for arms maker Raytheon Co. It...

It was later challenged in the case of Pollock versus the farmers and it was then that the income tax norm was held totally unconstitutional by the supreme court of USA. It was due to the fact that it imposed a tax which was direct by nature on the real property as well as the personal property that was invested. 3.

Raytheon Korb the Vice President at Raytheon, a large corporation that build equipment for the military, was given permission to join by his employer to join the executive board of the Committee for National Security (CNS), a nonprofit organization dedicated to informing the public about issues of national security and the prevention of nuclear war. Remarks made by Korb at a CNS press conference angered military officials. As a direct result of Korb's statements, Raytheon promptly terminated Korb's employment as a lobbyist in Washington, DC. Korb sued Raytheon in a Massachusetts state court for wrongful termination, citing both the Massachusetts state civil rights statute and the First Amendment to the U.S. Constitution. Raytheon removed the case to Federal District Court in Boston. Korb then amended his complaint to delete all references to the U.S. Constitution (Standler, 2000). Korb was hired to be the corporation's spokesperson, and he spoke against the interests of the corporation. The topic was one of acute concern to Raytheon. Regardless of whether Korb believed himself to be acting privately rather than as a Raytheon employee, and regardless of what Korb actually said, the public perception after the press conference was that a Raytheon lobbyist advocated a reduction in defense spending. Raytheon had a financial stake in not advocating that position. Therefore, the...
