...Japan's whaling fleet was headed home from the southern ocean after ending its annual Antarctic hunt with only a third of its expected catch, news reports from Japan said Friday. The hunt ended three days ago with a catch of 266 minke whales and one fin whale, officials from Japan's Fisheries Agency said, according to one report from Australia's ABC news online. The Sea Shephed Society, which sent a fleet of vessels to the southern ocean to block the hunt, proclaimed victory on its website. "Operation Divine Wind is over! The Japanese whalers are going home!" the Sea Shepherd headline read. "There are hundreds of whales swimming free in the Southern Ocean Whale Sanctuary that would now be dead if we had not been down there for the last three months. That makes us very happy indeed," Sea Shepherd's Paul Watson is quoted as saying on the organization's website. News of the Japanese whaling fleet's withdrawal comes four days after the Institute of Cetacean Research, which oversees the Japanese whaling program, reported a confrontation between the Japanese ships and Sea Shepherd's ship Bob Barker. The Bob Barker fired more than 40 flares and aimed a "high-powered" laser beam at the Japanese ships for more than 50 minutes, the institute said in a news release. Watson said that with the high-seas showdown, "the whaling season was effectively over for the season." Japan hunts whales every year despite a worldwide moratorium on whaling, utilizing a loophole in the law that allows...

...petroleum industry. In response to the crisis, BP created its “Gulf of Mexico Restoration” website as a form of crisis management to protect and repair its reputation. BP’s “Gulf of Mexico Restoration” website uses these three strategies to try to repair its reputation: highlighting current financial data and reports to show the accurate compensation contributions BP has given to the Gulf; displaying videos with images that de-emphasize the damage by focusing on restored areas and statistics showing how the Gulf has restored business continuity; and uses powerful headers and sub-headers titled to portray optimistic restoration objectives. To restore its reputation, BP's "Gulf of Mexico Restoration" website provides current financial data and reports that show the donations BP has given to the Gulf to prove its strong commitment to helping the affected areas. Effectively communicating its use of compensation as a reputation repair strategy, BP provides public data reports updated as of September 30, 2013 under the sub-heading “Compensating the people and communities affected”. This report shows the disbursement of the $8.2 billion that BP has paid to individuals and local businesses as well as governmental and other agencies. Compensation payments, such as industries or states, are further broken down into smaller categories in the “Gulf of Mexico Oil Spill Claims and Other Payments Public Report”. As Coombs...

...Initial Aims This report assesses the validity of Hebdige’s work on class and subcultures in the context of a distinctly international perspective: the Zephyr Boys Skateboarding team, founded in Dog Town, California, circa 1975. Key Questions • Can Hebdige’s Marxist-based, class-centred approach support the ethos of the Z-boys? Or does the Z-boys website reveal a more active dialogue between the subculture and processes of capitalism, rather than perpetuating a working-class incitement to overthrow the dominant? • The Z-boys website highlights the multicultural, multiethnic aesthetic of the 1975 skateboarding team. Does Hebdige’s citing of black culture’s role in the formation of punk help locate the inter-racial influences of the Dogtown skating scene? Or does Hebdige’s insistence on the metropolitan render the ‘ethnic’ experience a historically specific moment with essentialist characteristics? • In relation to the above, is Hebdige’s London-based study congruent with the California skating/surfing scene of the early-to-mid 1970s? Do the Z-boys conform to Hebdige’s notion of the ‘spectacular’? • McRobbie and Garber identify a patriarchal discourse within Hebdige’s work, in which they suggest ‘(girls) are absent from the classic subcultural ethnographic studies, the pop histories, the personal accounts…of the field’ (Gelder & Thornton (eds).1997, p112). Does this assertion coincide with the difficulties in applying a structuralist approach to the analysis...

It has websites versions of the newspaper for several different countries, including the US. The Gaurdian was previously made Newspaper of the Year more than once by the British Press Awards. Jonathan Jones is a journalist who began writing for The Guardian in 1999. He is a well-known art critic and was acted as a judge for both the Turner Prize and the BP portrait award, both of which are prestigious art awards. In his article, Jonathan Jones address the belief of many critics that art should be “urgent, challenging, disturbing, provocative and so forth.” He says that, while art should address current events, that is not the only reason that art should be created. He compares escapism in art to escapism in novels. It can be nice to escape from reality for a little while. He then goes question just how much of an escape escapism is. Many books that provide a way of escape still present new problems to the reader. He concludes that art is very complex and be made for many purposes, one of which is to provide and escape.

...Lindsay Bentzinger & Alex Voelker High School Volleyball Coach Industry/Profession We are going to research about a high school volleyball coach. We would like to do research on this topic because it relates to something we want to do in the future. Coaching is a passion of the both of ours, and we want to pursue it. We are doing research on the Iowa Girls High School Athletic Union (IGHSAU). Organizational Profile The Iowa Girls High School Athletic Union started in a Des Moines Presbyterian Church. This organization was founded to serve high school girls better than any other organization had. Basketball was becoming a popular sport for girls in small schools in Iowa in the 1920’s. The Iowa High School Athletic Association decided they would not sponsor girls, so the IGHSAU was born around 1925. In their constitution it states, “The purpose of this Union shall be: To promote, direct, protect and regulate amateur interscholastic athletic relationship for junior high and secondary girls between member schools and to stimulate fair play, friendly rivalry, and good sportsmanship among contestants, schools and communities through out the State of Iowa; and shall be without profit to itself except that it may handle and accumulate funds as herein provided.” They are the only organization in the nation solely devoted to interscholastic competition for girls.

...4188 REV: NOVEMBER 30, 2011 V. KASTURI RANGAN SUNRU YONG Soren Chemical: Why Is the New Swimming Pool Product Sinking? Jen Moritz grimaced as she reviewed the February 2007 sales report for her company’s new Coracle product. In September 2006, Soren Chemical had launched Coracle, a new water clarifier for use in small recreational and household swimming pools. Moritz was responsible for marketing the new clarifier, which she believed was a superior product, but the results so far were discouraging. The volume target was 50,000 gallons (100,000 units) for the first year of sales. However, through the first half of the selling season for pool chemicals, Soren had sold just 3,725 gallons, or 7,450 units. Moritz also had responsibility for marketing Kailan MW, a clarifier used primarily in large recreational water park facilities with typical capacities of one million gallons or higher. Very small quantities of Kailan MW were sufficient to treat large volumes of water, but it was unsuitable for smaller-scale applications such as residential pools. Thus Soren Chemical had developed Coracle, targeting smaller pools with a lower volume of swimmers (known in the industry as “bather loads”) and a less intense maintenance program. In 2006, Kailan MW revenues were $6.1 million and sales were on pace for a 7% increase in 2007; it was healthy growth in a relatively mature market. Coracle had been budgeted at $1.5 million in sales for the year, but so far Soren had sold a very disappointing...

...many mothers and fathers could relate to because it dealt with the everlasting love between a parent and their child; or so they thought. In this paper I'm going to talk about why the jury found Casey innocent of first degree murder and what is wrong with the American Justice System that allows guilty people like her walk free. How far does reasonable doubt go? Also, I want to talk about why the case hit so close to home for many people that followed along with the case, and what needs to be done regarding child abuse laws in Florida. First off, let us get the facts of the case straight. Casey Anthony waited 31 days to report her two-year-old daughter Caylee missing, in the summer of 2008. At first she told authorities that her nanny had kidnapped her, then went back on her word and said later in the trial process that she drowned in her parents swimming pool. Casey also lied to police about having a job and made up stories about future plans she had with her daughter. Testimonies and video footage also showed Casey out shopping, drinking, and hanging with friends during the time Caylee was “missing”. Friends said she never looked “worried, depressed, or angry” after Caylee went missing[1]. What kind of mother could do this? During the investigation, examiners found a hair consistent with Caylee's, in the back of Casey's car trunk. The trunk also smelled like “there had been a dead body in the car,” which Casey's mother testified[2]. A professional scientist with...
