...Drug-resistant STD rates could rise, without stronger treatment available A common sexually transmitted disease may be becoming more drug-resistant leaving doctors without an option to cure it in the future. According to Time magazine, the rates of gonorrhea in cities where more people have the drug-resistant strains of the STD, the number of cases of the higher-resistant strain is, unsurprisingly, more prevalent than in other areas. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention report there were approximately 820,000 cases of gonorrhea treated in the United States each year. But despite the stronger strains, the number of cases overall has decreased since the 1970s. The stronger strains were first found in the United States, in Hawaii and California in the late 1990s/early 2000s, and became increasingly prevalent in the country throughout the 2000s. By late 2000s, the CDC adjusted treatment, no longer using ciprofloxacin or other fluroquinolones for treatment, leaving only one drug combination to treat it. That treatment is an injection of cephalosporin combined with either azithromycin or doxycycline orally. The combination treatment, according to The Verge, may not be substantial enough to treat the increasingly stronger disease in the near future.

...JFT2 – Organizational Management: Task 1 A. Create an analysis document (suggested length of 3–5 pages) in which you do the following: 1. Illustrate how Bill Bailey, chairman of the board of the Utah Opera Organization, might use one theory of motivation to oppose or support the merger. Response: One theory of motivation Bill Bailey will use to support the merger by using Alderfer’s ERG Theory shown below. The definition of this theory is the following: Alderfer's ERG Theory: Three basic needs - existence, relatedness, and growth - influence behavior. (Alderfer, 1960) Bill Bailey will have to focus on motivating the executive committees of the Utah Opera organization. This will be accomplished first by stating the facts and benefits of the merging of both the Utah Symphony with the Utah Opera and the benefits of a combined entity of both organizations instead of two separate organizations to ensure the survival of both organizations. The declining funding resources from the public and private sector for both Opera and Symphony organizations in Utah are drying up. It's very important for Bill Bailey to work with the three parts of the ERG Theory below Existence - Bill Bailey's sole purpose in convincing the executive committee of the Opera House is to ensure that the merger is seen a positive merger, one that will help strengthen the Opera House to diversify its organization with the addition of a Symphony and additional venues and musical resources of musicians...

...Global Negotiation Article Analysis Shalee K. Kekawa MGT 445 Nov. 21, 2011 Dr. Sanrdra Sessoms-Penny Globalization and technology have played a big part in negotiations and the article that I chose to write about is just one of the many negotiations that globalization has influenced the outcome of negotiations. First, one must know what Globalization is. Globalization is a process of interaction and integration among people, companies and governments of different nations. This process has effects on the environment, on culture, on political systems, as well as on economic development and prosperity that affects societies and people all over the world. Globalization also opens up the boundaries that have existed in the past between countries and provides new opportunities for business ("Cross-Cultural Blog", 2009). Technology also plays a huge role in negotiations and just like globalization; it too has helped influence the outcome of negotiations. With the ever changing tools of technology, machines and systems, negotiations happen every day throughout the world and outcomes often happen through the use of technology. Technology makes businesses able to operate by changing relationships between suppliers, producers, retailers and customers. Gone are the days where negotiating a contract meant that you sat down face –to–face with someone and talked about contracts, and deals. Now days, a negotiation can be met and done in a matter of real time minutes. Technology...

...BSN holders, ADN and BSN display differences in competencies within the work environment. Nurses with BSN possess greater opportunity in advancing their career compared to ADN nurses. As more consumer demands for a better healthcare, hospitals and healthcare facilities are looking at improving their patient satisfaction which calls for better nursing staff which means more educated nurses. According to authorities, education plays a big role in a nurse’s ability to perform job tasks and advised that patients get a highly educated nurse to meet the interest of a growing healthcare care field ((Maneval & Teeter, 2010) In the 2 year degree ADN program arts and science courses are covered in the curriculum versus BSN program provides a much stronger base in the humanities and science courses. [2]Rapid growth in technology and scientific improvement require nurses to continue to learn more. Based on recent studies, nurses with BSN working in a hospital setting have low rates of death, sickness and have the ability to respond quicker to emergencies ((Johnston, 2009). While ADN nurses are prepared to perform basic nursing care in hospitals, BSN nurses are well rounded academically and has more understanding of the core concept of nursing which will aid in increasing critical thinking skills, self-confidence, and autonomy and improve delivery of quality...

...George has been taking care of Lennie for years, and when Curley wanted to fight Lennie George stepped in and stopped it. After Curley left, George let Lennie know that “if that son-of-a-bitch socks” him to let him have it. (Steinbeck 30). This proves that George and Lennie have a stronger relationship because George knew it was the best thing for Lennie to be able to defend himself. Knowing Curley, George has to make sure that Lennie stays away from Curley’s wife because she’s “poison” and there's “no piece of jail bait worse than her” (32). George and Lennie have a stronger relationship because after figuring out what kind of person Curley’s wife is, George decides it's best for he and Lennie to stay away from her. By the end of the book, George realizes how sick Lennie is, and the best way to put Lennie out of his misery is to kill him (106). This shows that George and Lennie have a stronger relationship because George did the best possible thing he could think of for Lennie. All of this evidence proves that George and Lennie have a stronger relationship because they do what they think is best for each...

...Anymore”, “ Because My Father Always Said He Was the Only Indian Who Saw Jimi Hendrix Play “The Star Spangled Banner” at Woodstock” and “The Trial of Thomas Builds the Fire”, all reflects on the Indians past and how it constricts their future. The Native Americans feel restricted by the past and constant discrimination from the rest of the world, hindering their own success. In “Indian education” Victor deals with constant discrimination throughout his youth, his fellow classmates give him trouble and his teacher is especially hard on him. The title “indian education” can be seen as ironic as Victor learns many lessons in school while none of them being academic. The lessons he learns didn’t come from what was taught in the class room but rather how to deal with hardship personally. Making him a much stronger emotionally as a person than any of his peers. This recurs throughout the rest of the stories as Victors spirit shall not be broken and Victor goes above and beyond the others proving his own intelligence. His teachers interpret this as a sign of disrespect which contrasts their own idea of a stereotype for Native Americans as uneducated delinquents who just grow...

...Financial Regulatory Reform ECO 238 12/07/2009 “Over the past two years, we have faced the most severe financial crisis since the Great Depression. The financial system failed to perform its function as a reducer and distributor of risk. Instead, it magnified risks, precipitating an economic contraction that has hurt families and businesses around the world.” (Geithner & Summers) While the current crisis had many causes, it is clear that the government could have done more to prevent many of the problems from growing out of control and threatening the stability of our financial system. Gaps and weaknesses in the management and regulation of financial firms presented challenges to our government’s ability to monitor, prevent, or address risks as they built up in the system, which caused the enormous bailouts or the massive financial collapses of financial institutions. The previous approaches to bank holding company regulation focused on protecting the subsidiary bank, not on the comprehensive regulation of the whole firm. In June, the President, proposed a new financial regulatory plan for the financial system. The new reform, as mentioned by the President, would protect consumers, impose new restraints on financial institutions and guard against the dismal practices that caused the market crisis. The new reform would generally be adopted by regulators since it mostly affects them. Timothy Geithner who is the secretary of the Treasury and Lawrence Summers who is...

...The film “An Inconvenient Truth” is a documentary film about global warming. Al Gore discusses the scientific opinion on climate change, as well as the present and future effects of global warming. The warming of the earth is caused by the green house gasses preventing the sun’s heat to escape from the earth’s atmosphere. That’s the elementary explanation of Global Warming by the movie. Al Gore describes the consequences he believes global climate change will produce if the amount of human-generated greenhouse gases is not significantly reduced in the very near future. Some is the collapse and melting of the major ice sheets in the world, which Gore showing some illustrations, before-and-after photographs of glaciers, which will soon cause the sea level to rise, and flood some regions near coastal areas (e.g. New York, China, New Zealand. etc.) and this will cause over 100 million refugees. Also, the melt water from Greenland because of its lower salinity, could then halt the currents that keep northern Europe warm and quickly trigger dramatic local cooling there. Some of the consequences also are the, much stronger typhoon and hurricanes, stronger and often earthquakes, more kinds of epidemics, drought, etc. and this will cause a disaster of our earth. The issue regarding the “Inconvenience”, of the film Inconvenient Truth, is the interception of Gore’s journal about global warming. The truth behind global warming by Al Gore and his crew, composed of top scientists, was rejected...

These organizations also include external influences like that of customers, distributors and venders and the like. It is the organizational culture, organization behavior, ethics and communication that makes these organizations stronger and keep integrity at the forefront of the organization’s mission, values and principles. Within this paper the areas of organization; culture; behavior; ethics; and communication will be elaborated on and examples provided. Organizational Culture Organizational Culture is the outcome of the internal environments and beliefs along with values that influence the behavior of organizational members as a whole. The more solid and stronger the organizational culture the more well-developed and well-communicated the beliefs and values will be, hence the organizational vision is clearly presented for future endeavors. ” Organizational culture is the sum total of an organization's past and current assumptions, experiences, philosophy, and values that hold it together, and is expressed in its self-image, inner workings, interactions with the outside world, and future expectations.” ("Organizational Culture", 2011). The organizational culture includes all aspects that make up its environment whether internal or external and speaks in volumes to the organizations projection, once this culture is in place it is hard to change.

...Rehabilitation Reduces Incarceration Christina Le CJS/240 05/10/2013 The debate as to how to properly handle juvenile delinquency has caused quite the predicament amongst society. There has been an ongoing debate as to whether the best ways to handle deterrence against juvenile delinquency were to be punishment or rehabilitation. As the time changes, the views have switched their focus going from believing in the value of punishment to seeking the importance of rehabilitation. Without taking away punishment altogether, I believe that society should have a stronger focus on rehabilitation. Contributing factors such as psychiatric evaluation, therapy, work options, community volunteering, and education can help the dynamics of handling juvenile delinquency. Without those things, our society would not be deterring crime for the future but rather we are focused on just the simple solution for the ‘right now’. The cost that is needed to incarcerate anyone is expensive enough as it is. Why would we make society pay more to keep juveniles incarcerated rather than just use that money to help them become the normal outstanding citizens that can in turn help society? Not to mention the overcrowded problem that we have within the jails and the prisons. The proper program given to the appropriate youth can help cut the cost that is spent on incarceration. An article that has mention the proper using of rehabilitation for juvenile delinquents stated, “Developmental issues...

...analysis (DCF) – this is considered one of the most thorough methods to value a company due to the fact that relies on free cash flows. There are two ways using the DCF method one, using the adjusted present value or the weighted average cost of capital, which shows a company how much capital is required for future income flow. Using this method gives us a more realistic thing to an intrinsic stock value, ratios may not give investors a clear value if the market is over/under valued. Some disadvantages would be that it’s based on future projections and assumptions if analysis do not have the abilities to make confident and sound future projection then this method could lead to disastrous future results. This method also viewed as a moving target and only for short term investing, requiring constant analysis and modifications. Comparable Transaction Method – this method focuses on analyzing similar transactions in the past and the market values that are similar to the company that is being purchased or looking at being purchased. Companies can look at several transactions of similar companies to help them determine a value. This value is real data and not based on future projections. Some disadvantages of this method would be the lack of financial data among private companies and past transactions. This method relies on looking at comparable companies, this would pose as a problem if there were not any comparable transactions to the company being acquired. Q1-2) Part 2...
