... 9/29/13 Lamar Joseph Odom is a 33 year old American professional basketball forward who last played with the Los Angeles Clippers of the National Basketball Association (NBA). Lamar was born on November 6, 1979 in South Jamaica, Queens. Odom happens to be having a drug problem and people are trying to help him get out of this. It was noticed when they arrested him on August 30, 2013 for suspicion of driving under the influence. Kardashian Odom tweeted about the reports, saying it was “really hard to sit here and listen to people talk … about my family.” Lamar Odom didn’t have a relationship with his dad at all. Odom, during the debut episode of his new reality show, 'Khloe and Lamar', reveals that his estranged father, Joe, is a heroin addict. "I'm not asking him to be a father,” Odom says on the show. “I'm asking him to act like you are my father.” In the episode, Joe surprises Khloe Kardashian, Lamar’s wife, at a book signing. Khloe encourages her husband and his father for form a closer relationship, but Joe later asks his son for money. "Give me a couple dollars, man, I'm wiped out," Joe asks of Lamar over the phone, per USA Today. He also asks for groceries, tickets and shoes. After that, Khloe backs off her suggestion that Lamar and Joe reconcile. Lamar Odom also had a hard time focusing when his son had passed. On June 29, 2006 ESPN news posted that Odom’s 6...

...now trade-eligible. Last week, Grantland took a look at some of the bigger names on that December 15 eligibility list, including Ryan Anderson and Jeremy Lin, but a few other players merit some follow-up now that the deadline has passed. Here's the rundown: Los Angeles Clippers The Clippers have a bunch of mid- and low-salaried players who can now be included in deals: Matt Barnes, Grant Hill, Jamal Crawford, Ronny Turiaf, Ryan Hollins, and Willie Green. Chauncey Billups won’t become trade-eligible until January 15. There are three interesting things in play here: •Health. Billups’s brief comeback is already over, though he’ll presumably return soon. No one knows when Grant Hill will play again, or how effective he’ll be when healthy. Lamar Odom is rebounding better and generally looking almost like an NBA player again, but he’s still shooting 32 percent, including a horrid 4-of-24 from long range, and it’s unclear how much the Clippers will really be able to count on him against good teams in the playoffs. • Rotation issues. Crawford is essential and isn't going anywhere. Barnes has, in many ways, outplayed Caron Butler, whose contract expires after next season. Barnes is a feisty defender and one of the most intuitive cutters in the league, a skill that fits nicely on a team with two offensive centerpieces that draw so much attention; he’s shooting 64 percent on two-point field goal tries. But he doesn’t have Butler’s ability to space the floor, and with Hill’s uncertain...

...The Importance of Measuring Enterprise Impact Zachary Bloom BIS/221 February 16th, 2015 Thomas Klopfer The Importance of Measuring Enterprise Impact “Green hype and green washing may be on the endangered species list and going away, however, green IT for servers, storage, networks, facilities as well as related software and management techniques that address energy efficiency including power and cooling along with e-waste, environmental health and safety related issues are topics that won’t be going away anytime soon.” (Schulz, 2015) Renewable energy, recycled products and storing data are ways that a business can reduce its carbon footprint The question that needs to be asked is a business green washing their data or products to make it seem like they are environmental friendly. Carbon Footprint In week four my team and I did research and had a discussion over a video we watched on the importance of measuring enterprise impact. “Green washing is a form of marketing spin in which green PR or green marketing is deceptively used to promote the perception that an organization's aims and policies are environmentally friendly. Whether it is to increase profits or gain political support, greenwashing may be used to manipulate popular opinion to support otherwise questionable aims.” (Grant, 2013) The first conclusions we came to was none of us knew that data usage could be bad for the environment and that many companies can claim they use less data....

...The Art of Peer Pressure by Kendrick Lamar It is necessary that I begin with disclosing the fact that this song is just an extract of an album that describes the reality of a portion of our society that, unfortunately, is in much more need of help than any of us care to realize. In his album good kid, m.A.A.d city, Kendrick Lamar tells a first person story of a day in the life of a “crew” of young gangbangers from Compton, CA. The album is full of songs that capture specific thoughts, feelings or provide background to what is happening in the story at that particular moment. The transitions between songs present multiple voice recordings from Kendrick’s and his mother’s voicemail. These transitions are part of the album’s chronological order and are vital in attaining a complete personality and mental profile of the characters followed throughout the story. Simply, the songs and transitions are each just a part of a “bigger picture”. There is one song, though, that tells a particular story which I think accounts for the largest piece of this “bigger picture”. The Art of Peer Pressure K.dot (Kendrick Lamar) and three of his blood are driving around Rosecrans in a white Toyota. K.dot (16) is the youngest member of the crew and the oldest is 23. His mother is concerned that he will not get to 11th grade if he keeps “messing around with those damn hoodrats”. This is established in a previous song, but it is indicative that his performance in school has dropped as of recently...

...this lucky hippie that did! What are the odds! “Ugh! Not rain again!” Thought Lamar. He had been living roofless for about four days because these goobers fell from the sky onto his Treehouse, destroying it. He had been staying in the Treehouse since he was seventeen years old because, well let's not get into that again. He decided to travel to a local Subway with his pet snake, Jamal, and his pet squirrel, Chuck. They were both brown and annoying. It was a windy autumn day in Pottstown, which was where he lived. The winters were cold and icy while the summers were warm like the Sahara. He packed up his belongings, which included a pink pencil, and an extra pair of socks, and headed out of the woods. As he left the ruins of his Treehouse, he thought to himself, “Man, I wish I could take a trip out west!” He thought this because he has never been outside Pottstown....

...I would describe my first semester in Film and Composition as great as the debut album of Kendrick Lamar, Good Kid Maad City. The films we watched were fantastic, I was exposed to greatness at a surface level, I was not forced to reach far into my brain to understand what I was learning just like Good Kid Maad City. For those who do not know, Good Kid Maad City was a classic hip hop album, and this album was not the Mullholland Drive of music, it was more like a Goodfellas, which means it was a fantastic straightforward beauty. For example, we studied content in the first semester class, we looked at what makes a film good and why, it was a basic thinking process and this was the “swimming pool” (a more mainstream song that is just for fun...

...Business Law Chapter 3: Hypothetical Scenarios & Case Problems Did Lamar have standing to challenge the ordiance? I don’t believe Lamar had the right to challenge. The Orchard Park ordinance clearly states that they restrict signs in certain areas , to advertising products and services available for sale only and on the premises, and to other limits. Lamar stated that this was a violation of the First Amendment. I do not see how this violates the First Amendment because the First Amendment states that, Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances. The First Amendment was written because at America's inception, citizens demanded a guarantee of their basic freedoms. Lamar simply wanted to erect billboards in a multiphase operation throughout the town, by doing this, it does not relate to the First Amendment and if brought to court I believe the case will be dismissed. Chapter 4: Hypothetical Scenarios & Case Problems 4.1, 4.3, 4.5 (pp. 135–136) 4.1 What defense does the defendant have for this lawsuit? The defense can state that it is against the law for riding a bike on a city street.

...Part One Final Project ODA Action Research Project L. Moore Kaplan University GM505 Action Research and Consulting Skills Dr. Heidi Gregory-Mina, MBA, MS August 26, 2014 Part One Final Project This project takes a look at implementing a new software application process for the Georgia Department of Transportation (GDOT) Outdoor Advertising Office (ODA), the stakeholders that will be affected by the new software, its expectations, the data methods that will be used, and the ground work involved. This software program is definitely needed and I believe that all parties involved will be pleased with its results. Scope and Purpose Georgia Department of Transportation Outdoor Advertising (ODA) is a department that allows companies to build billboard structures along the State of Georgia’s Right of Way. The application process is a two-part tedious process that includes a 7-page application for a Sign Permit and a 16-page application for a Vegetation Permit. Both applications require several other pages of documentation as well. Currently the process is based on a lot of paper pushing and the department would like to make it web accessible allowing applications to be uploaded on line for review including the capability for applicants to make all payments online also. Currently everything is submitted via the mail or walked into our office. Making the application web based will not only save the organization time and excessive amounts of paper but it will do the same for...
