Roger Lyon Case

Those who knew Bob Lyons thought extremely well of him. He was a highly successful executive who held an important position in a large company. As his superiors saw him, he was aggressive, with a knack for getting things done through other people. He worked hard and set a vigorous pace. He drove himself relentlessly. In less than ten years with his company, he had moved through several positions of responsibility.

Often, the media is very quick to jump on a story as they want to be the “very first” to bring the news story since they compete with other news outlets. Add the issues of law enforcement sources who leak information to news sources, and you have the potential of someone being found guilty of public opinion. As was seen in the case of Richard Jewell, a man who acted heroically was scrutinized and ridiculed by the media all because law enforcement wanted to question Jewell further. Even though Richard Jewell was questioned and his rights were read to him, he was at no time arrested or detained, and it seems there never existed any probable cause for law enforcement to do so. However, the media painted Jewell as the bomber, called him a “fat,

Colleges bring an incredible amount of money by their sport teams alones. According to John Brill, a sports journalist writer, “College football and basketball generate more than the National Basketball Association, a total of more than $6 billion yearly.” The money made from these sporting events are not being used correctly which is frustrating many college athletes. The money that is being

Especially the big main sports such as football and basketball. The school has a lot of radio, TV, and newspaper deals that also bring money to them. You have to think about the people who can’t always watch the game, they can hear it. Not only do they have those contracts, but you got to remember when the actual games start and there at the big stadium or dome. The revenue for one game is over 10,000 to 20,000 people just for one game. They have prices for food, beverages, stuffed dolls, programs, and souvenir, that a lot of that 10-20,000 buy at all the games. This is very messed up because most of the souvenirs are the current player’s jersey with their number on it, but the jersey doesn’t have their name on the back of it, just their number. The jersey makes the sale with or without the players name on it and none of the players get a cut of any type of money. So the players just worked their buts off since JFL just to get to college and get not even a couple dollars. “Don’t get me wrong, it’s an unbelievable organization – but in some way they’re taking advantage of college athletes that sign their name into a certain school.” “When I was (at Alabama) in ’09, I think revenue when we won the national championship that year was like $62 million. And when we won it in New Orleans (in 2011), it was like $78 million. Then when we beat (Notre Dame in 2012), it was like $92 million.” (Mitrosilis)

The primary sources for these revenues are from ticket sales, sponsors, broadcasting, apparel sales, and donations which all generate that money (Chait 1). Athletes are recruited to colleges because the coaches think they have the talent to help the team succeed in their sport. At Auburn University, Cam Newton received a full ride scholarship. He became the “star” quarterback for the team, which produced a lot of revenue for the football team and the university (Belson 1). The school thought of additional methods to create more profit, so they put Newton’s number on jerseys, sweatshirts, hats, and other wanted apparel. Those sales alone increased the profit margins enormously (Belson 1), and it all went to the team and the university. All the extra money that resulted from promotional efforts generated even more controversy. Questions arose, such as where to spend the additional funds, whether the school needed new athletic facilities, or even whether the star quarterback should receive a portion of the profits, and were debated. Both sides held passionately to their opinions, and the topic generated a strong response from people on both sides of the debate (Belson 2).

On February 17, 2017 a probation warrant was issued for Michael Thompson at CC201507178 for the instant violation offense at OTN: G 766308-4 for Possession of a Controlled Substance, Endangering the Welfare of Children, Disorderly Conduct, Driving While Operating Privileges is Suspended or Revoked and Possession of Drug.

College sports is a business that brings in a lot of money to schools and athletic programs. Division I college athletes, particularly football and basketball players, get many perks for contributing to the team’s season and devoting so much time to the sport. What is not often thought about is the money that football and basketball brings in and what the athletes get in return for bringing this money to the university. Many athletes are taken advantage of because the schools use the money for their own benefit, do not take into consideration the athletes busy schedule and not having time for a job, their living and medical expenses, and how important they are to bringing in money for the school.

If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it, or so they say. In this case the phrase holds true, as it would be foolish to change a wildly successful college athletics system. Currently, athletes are able to earn their degree for free, while playing the sport they love, in a harmonious reltionship between amatuer athlete and college sports. Nonetheless, critics call for colleges to pay athletes a portion of the profits generated off of their services even though college athletes are already paid in the form of scholarships, free housing and other benefits. Furthermore, changes, such as sharing profits with student athletes could ruin a system that sucessfully supplies us with the ameteur sports that we love, while providing athletes with a free college education.

Catastrophically, the assassination of Doctor Martin Luther King was devastating. The prosecution built their theory that James Earl Ray was a racist. Luckily, James Earl Ray pled guilty to the murder, so there would be no trial. On April 4, 1968, Doctor King was fatally wounded by a single shot in Memphis, Tennessee while standing on the balcony of his second-story hotel. Subsequently, that evening a Remington .30-06 hunting rifle was found one block away from the Lorraine Motel. Over the next several weeks the prosecution was building their case, which consisted of the rifle, eyewitness reports, and fingerprints on the rifle all pointed to a single assailant, James Earl Ray. Furthermore, James Earl Ray was an escaped convict that was on the

schools the option to share their rising sports income with college athletes” (Text 2, Line 31-32).

The case of 40-year-old Vincent Li, an individual who stabbed and decapitated a young man named Tim McLean with a large bladed weapon on the Greyhound Bus in Manitoba. After taking the life of McLean, Li then ate parts of McLean lifeless body. Li was diagnosed with untreated schizophrenia. The court deemed him to be not criminally responsible for his murder. NCR for short, means that Vincent Li or anyone who is not of healthy mind are not responsible for his/her actions against the law. Section 2 of the criminal code explained that if one were not of right mind, they would not be able to understand the nature of the proceedings, they would not be able to understand the possible consequences of the proceedings, or have proper communication with

The first article I read about was based on a doctor named by Dr. Henry Lora and Isabel Medina. Henry Lora had written prescriptions for patients that were receiving Medicare benefits. Those prescriptions were not medically necessary and they were prescribed for in return of bribes. Lora faced federal charges for the conspiracy of $20 million Medicare fraud schemes. Plea was scheduled, it carried a 25 year sentence in prison. Medina pleaded guilty of the charges with a 9 year sentence in prison. Both had made false records of patient’s qualification of Medicare

In early May, 4299, the four defendants and Roger Whetmore entered a limestone cavern. A landslide occurred while the group was far from the cavern’s entrance, trapping the spelunkers inside. The only known entrance was the one blocked by the landslide. When the group failed to return home to their families, the Secretary of the Speluncean Society was contacted, and a rescue team was sent out immediately. The group of spelunkers had only brought very few supplies.

Customers are another important group of stakeholders who must be satisfied in order for Rogers’ to achieve growth. Customers are increasingly paying attention to company’s sense of corporate social responsibility (CSR) (Carpenter, Saunders & Harling, 2012). They have also become interested in health effects and benefits of chocolate and are concerned about ethical production of chocolate in third world countries. Rogers’ supplier did not have the capabilities yet to develop organic or fair-trade ingredients, which are being demanded by customers. Therefore, Rogers’ would have to source organic versions for all ingredients, which would cost extra money, time and effort. An easier alternative may be to emphasis the natural ingredients already
