...Men actor for “refusing to walk the plank.” OK! NEWS: CHARLIE SHEEN CREATES “THE MASHEEN” IPHONE APP During Charlie’s “My Violent Torpedo of Truth Defeat Is Not an Option” Tour at the MGM Grand Theater at Foxwoods Resort and Casino on April 17, comedian Jeffrey Ross read a lengthy email he received from Michael, basically endorsing Charlie. “I met Charlie back in 2004. He had my wife and I over to his house for dinner. It was really nice and we had a great time,” Jeffrey read from the letter during the show. “I feel bad to see what Charlie’s been through. Everyone has crossed a … line and he’s had his share.” “I haven’t spoke to Charlie in years, but here’s what I see now… Going on TV, crying fake tears, pouring their souls out to Dr. Phil, apologizing for everything they’ve done since second grade and telling the world they’ve found their Lord? Instead of doing all that, Charlie Sheen refused to walk that plank… and put Charlie Sheen as the first one to say, ‘I’m tired of apologizing for the fact that I’m special,’ ” Michael wrote. “That’s why it’s so important that everybody believes that they themselves can change. That people who have changed and can be kinder to each other and give each other a friggin f***in break.” “That’s why people are pulling for Charlie Sheen,” he explained. “That’s why this time we know he’s gonna stay clean. That’s why everyone wants his same Tiger Blood. That’s why, no matter what sh*t gets in your way, you have the power to say ‘fu*k...

...their data. Under this philosophy the statement is considered an oxymoron because under the colleagues point of view they view those that study finance one that does not act on behavior. They assume that anything that involves finance automatically dictates numbers and thinking ogically in steps. It is not until there is a shift in the paradigm and that they see it from a finance position do they see the possibility of a behavioral implications. b) According to the rational paradigm, one that is interested in finance is well educated, has some predisposition towards the acclimation of wealth and is focused on the market. By the definition this means that they are rational and not behavioral. 2. The Structure of Scientific Revolutions triggered diverse reactions. Most “hard” scientists shrugged and went about their business. But many in the soft, or social, sciences “loved” the book, Kuhn says, perhaps because it offered a hope that they could attain the same level of legitimacy (or illegitimacy) as physicists or chemists. “Some of them even said, ‘Wow, all we have to do is to figure out what our paradigm is and enforce it.,’” Kuhn explains. Some philosophers, on the other...

...Sexual Addiction First M. Last Colorado Christian University Sexual Addiction As Christians, we are not perfect, “If we claim to be without sin, we deceive ourselves and the truth is not in us” (1 John 1:8, New International Version). We were born into a world of corruption and were given freewill upon our birth. God gives us the opportunities to “…confess our sins” so that He may “…purify us from all unrighteousness” (1 John 1:9). This is why our Catholic brothers and sisters go to confession; Methodist, Baptist, Protestants, and other Christian denominations go to the alter to pray and ask for forgiveness. Through our Christian walk we will face obstacles and temptations. We will not always make the correct choices and we will fall short of God’s glory by becoming obsessed or addicted to something along the way. By giving into a temptation, doesn’t make you any less of a Christian, it makes you human. The temptations of food, drugs, alcohol, fame, sex, or anything else that can be easily indulged in or over indulged can easily turn into an addiction even for the spiritually strong individual. One addiction that is becoming more popular is the addiction to sex. According to an article on psychcentral.com, sexual addiction is defined as “a progressive intimacy disorder characterized by compulsive sexual thoughts and acts.” (Grohol, 2010) The 2010 American Psychiatric Association (APA) criteria draft of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM), applies...

...local auto dealer. In the course of his negotiations, he tells the salesperson that he wants the 3.2 liter V-6 engine, and not the 3.9 liter because he has concerns regarding the fuel economy of the 3.9 liter engine. Josh signs a contract agreeing to purchase a car with the 3.2 liter V-6 engine. What neither Josh nor the salesperson knew was that the manufacturer had already stopped manufacturing both the 3.2 liter and the 3.9 liter, and was equipping the cars with a newly designed 3.5 liter engine. What do you think about this situation? Should parties to a sales contract be able to rescind a contract because of mutual mistake of fact? Why or why not? Did either party act unethically in this case? Why or why not? What application does the UCC have here? Finally, in the overall context of contract law, are there any winners or losers when a contract is rescinded based on mutual mistake of fact? Why or why not? A mutual mistake is when both parties incorrectly believe an important fact to be true or the applicable law to be relevant. The important facts that affect or influence a parties decision are called material facts, and if there is mutual misunderstanding of these facts means contract can be void therefore without legal effect. (John Adamson, 2011) After looking at the facts it seems as though its is more of an error on behalf of the salesman and for me he should rescind the contract and take responsibility for the misunderstanding as it is not the consumers duty...

...I will do my best to try to eliminate any question as to what realists, idealists, and ecological paradigms mostly stand for. I will then discuss which one of these I prefer as a citizen of the United States and how I believe that things truly are when comparing to my life experiences. This will lead into my ideals on international affairs today and the combination of those and the paradigms discussed. Lastly, I will discuss three important principle differences between realists and idealists and their approaches to international relations. PARADIGMS AND INTERNATIONAL RELATIONS Paradigms and International Relations In our textbook, World Politics In The 21st Century, it defines Political Realism as a “philosophical position that assumes that human beings are imperfect and possess an innate desire for power”. (Duncan,Webster,Switky, p. 33) I do believe that it does not matter what it is you are asking to be defined, the definition is always going to depend on who you are asking. Every individual as a unique point of view which might just be a slightly different perspective than the man next to him. This assumption that all people are naturally going to behave badly many people have frowned upon and stated that this type of negative outlook is only going to 3 feed into the negative behavior that might be of question. Realists have often been said to have a more cynical view on life than an idealist. But when talking to a realist, they are going to explain to you that there...

Doing some research I discovered the psychological theories of why children get attached to inanimate object versus an adult, how and when they do, the object they prefer to get attached to, the signs of attachment and the similarities among Adults and Children, perhaps there is a deeper meaning as to why Adults and Children get attached in the first place. In psychology, there are many reason why a child get attached to an inanimate object. The attachment stems from early childhood, such...

...| Fictional Versus Reality | | December 4, 2010 | Mr. Flip | | Artina Houston | CJS/220 | | In this paper, I am going to discuss the legal system as the courts handle it, we will take a look at fictional portrayals and an actual court case that occurred. The purpose of this is to ascertain the difference between the two if there is any. In the U. S. A. we have three systems of the government that each have their own specific role independent of each other, but still heavily reliant on the other. These systems all work together in all aspects of the legal system, with the court system heavily responsible for “Enforcement, interpretation, invalidation, and making law.” (The US Legal System, 2009) One of the major differences between fictional portrayals of the court process and reality is how the trial process is portrayed from the beginning to the end. Let us begin with the fiction story of Law and Order, this show dramatizes the law system the law system from when the crime occurred to when it goes to trial. The show’s main objective is to bring all the issues to the light that is presented in society in real time, or especially heinous or brutal crimes. I for one really enjoy the crimes that unfolds throughout the hour that this show has my attention. Well let me get a little specific, as Law and Order is a series that has done really well that it has expanded. In this one series the crime are always bad, the victim is an unknown, and the detectives...

...‘drug’. This is probably why the name for the pills has been changed to “academic doping”. There has also been asked question the drugs on whether it is cheating to take these pills before studying or taking a test. Another question is whether it is dangerous for the students to take these drugs. Study drugs are drugs that have the purpose to improve one’s cognitive ability. These drugs pills such as Adderall and Ritalin. By improving one’s cognitive ability you will be able to concentrate more and thereby work more effectively.

So basically study drugs are enhances your performance on other levels than studying. In the interview, “More Students Turning Illegally To 'Smart' Drugs” by Michelle Trudeau from February 5, 2009, the side effects of the drug Adderall are underlined. Michelle Trudeau talks to a boy who does not like to take the drugs because of the side effects, “He explains that he doesn't like taking his Adderall because of the side effects he experiences, such as insomnia and loss of appetite.” Wikipedia aid this statement and the webpage are also stating other side effects in the long-term. A website called www.drugs.com accounts for Adderall’s side effects where these side effects are a few among many others: • Fast, pounding, or uneven heartbeats; • Pain or burning when you urinate; • Talking more...

But negotiation is often a series of episodes, which means that considering your counterpart as a partner or a collaborator is the foundation of trusting and fruitful-- and ongoing -- negotiation. How the game is played matters more than who wins. puts itself in a position it can't get out of without losing face. This is as true in international diplomacy as it is when a parent tries to reach an agreement with a fifteen-year-old child. When parties adopt a position, locking themselves into a narrow range of 'acceptable' outcomes, they often conclude that the most appropriate approach to negotiation is to treat the process as competitive - where the outcome has to yield winners and losers.

What makes the iPad a disruptive technology? Who are likely to be the winners and losers if the iPad becomes a hit? Why? * The iPad is a disruptive technology because it is more expensive than the products it is replacing. It cost more to buy an iPad per megabyte than it does to by a notebook. * It doesn’t necessarily work as well as the products it is replacing. Trying to type a document on an iPad is difficult, and if you truly want to take notes, you need to buy an apple keyboard, which will run you another $100 or so. * Research shows that consumer didn’t greatly desire a new technology and were satisfied with the products they currently had. * It gives people another reason to separate from reality and other basic human interactions.

...“The Rocking-Horse Winner” relates the desperate and foredoomed efforts of a young boy to win his mother’s love by seeking the luck that she bitterly maintains she does not have. By bringing her the luxurious life for which she longs, Paul hopes to win her love, to compensate her for her unhappiness with his father, and to bring peace to their anxious, unhappy household. He determines to find luck after a conversation with his mother, in which she tells him that she is not lucky, having married an unlucky husband, and that it is better to have luck than money because luck brings money. In response, Paul clearly accepts the unspoken invitation to take his father’s place in fulfilling his mother’s dreams of happiness. His purpose seems to be fulfilled when, with the help of Bassett, the gardener, he begins to win money betting on horse races. Shortly thereafter, he confides in his uncle Oscar, whom he also considers lucky because Oscar’s gift of money started his winning streak. Paul, Oscar, and Bassett continue to bet and win until Paul has five thousand pounds to give his mother for her birthday, to be distributed to her over the next five years. When she receives the anonymous present, she does not seem at all happy but sets about arranging to get the whole five thousand pounds at once. As a result, Hester becomes even more obsessed with money, increasingly anxious for more. Also, the house, which previously seemed to whisper “There must be more money! There must be more money...
