The court ordered the respondent to pay over $86,000."

Legal Precedence
Summary
From the Paper
"Preceding all of the actions that began with Popeye and Bluto's physical fight and climaxing in the death of Bluto at the hands of Olive, under Code 20, lies the Duty of Retreat, which holds that when there was a possibility for a verbal argument to escalate into physical fight, Popeye had the obligation to remove himself from the situation, as did Olive. When neither elected to do so, however, there was a violation of the New York Penal Code, leading to the consideration of their guilt or innocence."

Gore?s vehicle fell into that category'"

Abstract
This briefing evaluates the pros and cons of open-source software and provides a recommendation to management at the Sigma Corporation regarding open-source strategies. While Sigma has developed a sound information technology (IT) infrastructure and employs a highly skilled IT staff, increasing IT costs have caused the company to examine ways to reduce IT expenses without affecting the effectiveness of the IT program. It defines open-source whereby the product is distributed with the source code. There are risks associated with open-source. The process is not quite mature, so users assume some risk in using these products. Open-source comes with no warranties and no maintenance agreements. A more detailed summary of the pros and cons of open-source is found in this briefing. The paper concludes that open-source is a viable and wise option for Sigma and outlines a strategy for moving the company in that direction.
From the Paper
"The Sigma Corporation has been in the office supply business for over fifty years and has built a reputation of prompt service with low prices. The reputation for prompt service has been attributed to the company?s computerized inventory system that automatically orders new materials from the manufacturer at specified intervals. The low prices are maintained by keeping company costs to a minimum while getting the job done. The CEO of Sigma, Sigmund Saveabuck, is always looking for ways to save costs in order to maintain a competitive advantage."

Abstract
This paper presents a brief on the issue of urban poverty in, Toronto, Canada's largest city. Specifically, the paper argues that poverty must be addressed quickly - both through an improved remedial education system and via an improved social welfare safety net that distributes monies more efficiently. The paper explores the matter within an international context and suggests that urban poverty is a problem Toronto can overcome, even if other cities have faltered in combating it.
Table of Contents:
Issue
Analysis
Recommendations
From the Paper
"Thirdly, the city of Toronto has no justification for not turning its many brown fields into sites whereupon affordable apartment complexes for low-income individuals can be built. This would be an effective use of available land, would allow the city to make a profit, and would reduce the strain upon the city's over-burdened social welfare and shelter programs. Of all of the recommendations outlined above, giving the less-fortunate the tools they need to fend for themselves is the most productive measure the city can enact if only one option is available."

Abstract
This is an all-inclusive paper dealing with a wide range of issues, such as the American economy, in general, and discussing issues, such as budget deficits, tax cuts, medical assistance and benefits for retired people, the weakening American dollar, allocations for the military, intelligence and homeland security, job growth, and the regime and policies of free trade. With regards to security, it features the recent American initiative on the war on terrorism. The issues of weapons of mass destruction (WMD) and nuclear proliferation are also discussed, as well as the aspect of the ?future?, as it was viewed from the era of the Vietnam War. Furthermore, the relevance of the Cold War is outlined as a great American victory. Compelling issues, such as the role of oil, OPEC, the Middle East, and the socio-political and economic situation after the incidents of September 11 are also addressed. Additionally, the role of the United States government is outlined and made easy to understand.
From the Paper
"The appreciable factor in the entire issue is the surplus which is estimated at 5.6 trillion dollars spread over the next ten years. There is also a projection of a 500 billion dollar from Medicare surpluses. The democrats on the other hand intend to spend the entire Social security and Medicare surpluses towards paying off debt. This however cannot be a favourable idea since it leaves the government with no table funds. A better and agreeable solution would rather be paying up a whopping 80% of the debt, subtracting 2 trillion dollars from Social security surpluses and using the remaining 600 billion dollars as an investment into the promising avenues of the stock market. Thereafter, a reserve account can be created to haul in the funds that have come by way of medical surpluses which amount to 500 billion dollars added up with an extra 340 billion."

Women and Sports, 2007.
This essay discusses the issue of femininity as it relates to sports.

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
In this article, the writer provides a reflection analysis of three different articles from three different periods. The writer looks at the following three articles: "No Man's Land of Sport" by Alexandrine Gibb, "Whitby Senior Public School Girls Win Third Straight Volleyball Crown" by Malcolm Johnson, and "Sports Briefs" from The Toronto Star. Specifically, the paper looks at the socially-constructed body as it pertains to women in sports. In addition, the writer discusses the issues of femininity that arise when looking at the three articles. In the end, the writer argues that attitudes vis-a-vis the female form and female involvement in athletics have evolved generally in a positive manner.
From the Paper
"Instead, coverage of women's sports veered towards the athletic abilities of female participants. For example, a January 1985 article in the Toronto Star mentions how Whitby Senior Public School's victory in the Durham Elementary Athletic Association volleyball championships is a testament to the commitment of the athletes involved. In particular, writer Malcolm Johnson approvingly cites coach Jim Higgs, who mentions both competitive zeal and commitment as well as skill as being the chief determinants of his team's success. Suffice it to say, these young girls are now viewed as athletes and as competitors rather than as mass commodities with "nice legs"; just as significantly, there does not appear to be any social construction of the female form at all in this particular article - although the young age of the female competitors involved necessarily argues against that, anyways. Nonetheless, athletic achievement has supplanted "old-fashioned" notions of femininity."

Abstract
This research paper includes an overview of the European Union, its history, principles and policies on trade. It analyzes the European Union?s Impact on international trade and briefs the reader on the impact of the trade block on trade positions of the U.S. and Japan. The author discusses current issues and disputes between the US and the EU and includes statistics to illustrate the effects of the EU on world trade.
From the Paper
The European market is big, much as the United States. The European Union and the USA represent 30.1% and 24.5% of global GDP respectively. Together, the two economic giants represent half of the world GDP. (See Diagram 1). As such, any actions that these two economies do will affect the rest of the world. In fact, the establishment of the European Union has effected ripples of economic growth or depression on its member states and other countries as well. And as the influence of the EU grows, so does its relationship with the rest of the world become more important. The EU currently holds agreements with almost every region in the world. Just as much of the EU?s policies involve reduction of barriers and increased trade among its members, its external policies have involved increased trade globally and deepening relationships with other countries. The logic behind this double-edged mission is the realization that a barrier-free global economy is key to optimum progress.
