...Death Penalty Death Penalty II Abstract We as a society have chosen to have a death penalty for the crimes that cry out for justice even though the use of the death penalty is known to have mistakes and may require a great deal of time and money to ensure that we have the correct person. The problem is that the system is in a lose-lose situation and cannot win either way. So because of this we have to weigh the odds of the death penalty against the possibility of mass crime increases. The facts all weighed together then weighed against the possible outcome of no death penalty most could see that the latter has far worst results. There are steps that we can take to assure that any person who gets the death penalty has the best defense and all avenues of discovery is covered and researched and all court appeals if any have been heard. The defendant and the state have a large amount to lose. The fact that we have to get this right the first time should prove the cost of the procedure well worth the monies spent. No matter what way it is looked at being for or against the death penalty are a personal and often a moral decision. The battle of those for and against the death penalty will continue to be fought because these two groups will never see the issue eye to eye. Death Penalty III Death Penalty The death penalty has been thought to be a deterrent to homicide by many. It’s a fact that the death penalty cost tax payers billions of dollars each and every year.

...Introduction Being recruited to play a collegiate sport can be a wonderful, yet nerve wrecking experience for any high school athlete that wishes to compete at the next level. For most athletes, the process is normal, following the rules to a “T”, but for other, more sought after athletes many coaches are willing to do anything and everything to get that player to come to their school and into their program. This even includes violating the NCAA recruiting rules and policies. While it is true that many of these violations go unpunished or even unnoticed by the NCAA, the truth is that recruiting violations are becoming more and more predominant in recent years thanks in part to social networks and other forms of communication. Most violations are on the men’s side of athletics, mainly in basketball and football. This does not mean that there is a lack of violations on the women’s side though. Violations have begun to occur more regularly in women’s athletics in recent years. Due to the recent frequency of recruiting scandals being brought to public attention thanks in part to media, NCAA recruiting violation scandals are the topic of conversation for many households, especially those who have young athletes who are wanting to be recruited by their favorite schools. NCAA Definition of “Recruiting” and Their Position The NCAA defines “recruiting” as “any solicitation of prospective student-athletes or their parents by an institutional staff member or by a representative of...

...important for the preparer to evaluate whether or not the authority or authorities are favorable or unfavorable in every situation. In this case, William is aloud to recommend a position on this tax research question for his client and try to avoid penalties if the most substantial authority supports the position. According to Tax Codes, Substantial authority suggests that the probability that the taxpayer’s position is sustained upon audit or litigation is in the 40-plus percent ranges or above. According to IRC SECTION 6694, the preparer who prepares any return or claims a refund with any understatement with knowledge will be penalized with respect to each return or claim. To be careful when dealing with what is substantial authority, the standard is used to determine whether a tax practitioner may take a tax return position without being subject to the penalty. Since William estimates that there is 48 percent chance that the position will be sustained, William can make this return without worrying about a penalty. The tax preparer does not have to disclose this information because it does have the necessary backing from the substantial authority. According to the same section, a taxpayer will not be subject to the underpayment penalty because there is a substantial authority that supports the tax return. Due to the stated facts, William and the client should not be penalized even if there ends up being an understatement. The client also does not to disclose this information similar...

...Managerial Powers in ME : Intro: Organizational power is the capacity to persuade a group to work toward the accomplishment of a company's organizational goals. It depends on the personality traits of the individual exercising the power. There are five types of organizational power: reward, coercive, expert, legitimate and referent. Reward and coercive power are commonly used within organizations. However the use of these two together can decrease the power of the individuals over time. 5 Types of Managerial Powers in ME: by Justin Johnson, Demand Media Businesses are run by people in power. There are, however, different kinds of power that allow those wielding them to use varying approaches and methods with varying degrees of effectiveness. There are five basic types of power in business, and it is important to learn how to recognize each type, and how to use each type effectively in business situations. Coercive Power Coercive power is the most primitive type of power in the workplace. Coercive power exists when a person in authority threatens a subordinate with some type of punishment if a certain duty or activity is not completed or performed correctly. It is important to note that coercive power is used most effectively in scenarios where the business is in a crisis or is somehow threatened. Coercive power can also be used effectively when attempting to make cuts in personnel as a result of management shifts and transitions. Legitimate Power Legitimate power...

...The Debate on Fighting in Hockey Brandon M. Robsion Devry University The Debate on Fighting in Hockey There is no sporting event that brings an explosion quite like that of an ice hockey fight. Ice hockey has always been stereotyped as brutal and unnecessarily violent, a game full of players who are nothing but “goons”. Fighting in hockey is a form of sanctioned violence, as it has deemed acceptable in hockey since the introduction of the National Hockey League in 1917. The league did note even penalize it until the 1922 NHL season (Brandon 2013). A recent political uproar has taken place within the hockey world as more people are pushing to have fighting completely removed from the game. As a hockey player for over 25 years, I have been through every situation where fighting has occurred within the sport. Being an avid fan, I have noticed a recent uproar on this topic within the last decade. Despite the outcry against fighting in the NHL the league needs to maintain its current stance on fighting. As hockey continues to grow in North America and around the world, more people are being exposed to the game. This has caused many debates on this topic, and if it’s really needed in today’s game. Fighting in hockey is a big part of North American hockey, yet is banned in world events like the Olympics and other world hockey tournaments. Raising the debate, should fighting be banned in all of hockey? For those who are not avid hockey fans, the stereotype is generally that...
