Be sure to quote and reference your source, including use time markers (timestamps). For example, quote the speaker and include the time the quote was said, like this: Mayer said “So it looked like a legitimate news story, which one would ordinarily think had been checked” (26:46)

• What was wrong with the original reporting on the Al Franken story? What were some of the ways it could have been improved to be more accurate?
• How did technology play a role in news reporting in this case?
• How can the average citizen be sure their sources are reliable? Use what you’ve learned about libraries and the spectrum of information when you answer this question.
• Why do we still need libraries? Share the link you found that was most interesting (with the actual URL/ link included, please) and what you learned about the role of libraries.

see rubric below and course info you need to help you answer the above questions.

United States Supreme Court decisions are, not coincidentally, referred to as “opinions.” We all have opinions. If you are a member of the U.S. Supreme Court, your professional/ legal opinion matters a great deal. A goal of the first, and indeed each, writing assignment is to empower and engage you. The assignment begins with the proposition that you are to consider yourself an Associate United States Supreme Court Justice. (There are nine justices on the Supreme Court. One, presently John Roberts, serves as the “Chief Justice,” and the other eight are referred to as Associate Justices. Their individual votes vis-à-vis determining a majority ruling count the same; there is no extra weight given to the Chief Justice’s vote. One side gets five votes, that side wins/ prevails/ establishes the (un)constitutionality of the law. It’s exactly that simple/ complex).

The writing assignment is to draft your own opinion which rules/ decides the appeal to the U.S. Supreme Court and hypothetical grant of certiorari of the 9^th Circuit’s opinion in Martin v. City of Boise, 902 F.3d 1031 (9^th Cir. 2018). In other words, you be the judge. Did they (the 9^th Circuit) get it right or wrong?

Develop, articulate, set out (three different ways of essentially asking the same thing) arguments for each side, then offer your own conclusion and explain why your answer (i.e, the city ordinance violates or does not violate the United States Constitution’s Eighth Amendment’s bar against Cruel and Unusual Punishment) is justified. If you agree with the 9^th Circuit’s court ruling, note that you are affirming their judgment. If you dis-agree, note that you are reversing the 9^th Circuit’s ruling. Either outcome is equally acceptable – your judgment and supporting basis/bases are what matters, and coincidentally it’s worth observing that historically the 9^th Circuit’s opinions, when considered by the Supreme Court have an above average rate of reversal.

Issues/ points you may wish to consider: Should it matter why a person is homeless, as it involves enforcement of a criminal statute involving camping, sleeping, etc., in public? For instance, what if the person is homeless because they do not want to work? Should that person receive Eighth Amendment protection simply because insufficient alternative (shelter) bed-space is available?

Statistically, many homeless persons suffer from mental illness. Should the rights of a person so mentally ill that he/she cannot hold employment and thus may be homeless turn on the basis that some others may be homeless because of “choice”? Should it matter – as to constitutional protections involving punishment, whether the person is mentally ill, or may have has some genetic tendency toward addiction/ alcoholism? Does it represent an unconstitutional form of ‘piling on,’ re: punishment, to criminalize camping, sleeping in public, etc., when whatever the reason, the realities of homelessness are awfully bleak?

Or, perhaps consider an individual addict’s/ alcoholic’s personal agency? If the person is homeless because he/she is an addict/ alcoholic, does the person possess the right to continue to take drugs and/or drink alcohol, even if means he/she will likely prematurely die – provided his/ her actions do not harm others? Or, for instance, should “we” (collectively society) permit “punishment” by enabling the government to put homeless addicts/ alcoholics in jail “for their own good” – so they might get their proverbial head straight, through sobriety or – in the case of mental illness, compel obedient consumption of drugs prescribed to control/ manage some diagnostically recognized mental illness, if treatable? Regarding the concept of a ‘disease,’ cancer patients have a right to decline treatment and society does not put them into jail for their own good, waiting/ hoping/ expecting they come to their proverbial senses and make a rational decision to seek help, e.g., chemotherapy. (Or maybe the entire addiction issue, at least in the context of the City of Boise statute, is irrelevant because it separately and previously was decided it is constitutionally permissible to arrest persons for being drunk in public)

And/or, in the comparative balance of rights, do members of the public have the right to walk along public streets without the (arguable) blight of tents pitched on the sidewalk, with the accompanying realities and unpleasantness of public urination and defecation? If you work to pay rent or own property, are you entitled to some legal benefit over, for example, a homeless person who doesn’t (pay rent or own property) but decides to, for instance, sleep on the sidewalk outside your apartment or house?

And/or does it matter what the motivation of government is, to wit, whether the motivation behind a law permitting prosecution against camping in public is genuinely intended to “help” homeless people, whether it’s motivated by a desire that “those people should get a job, like the rest of us,” and/or whether it’s simply a matter of being able to police and keep public spaces clean and free of occupation by homeless people, and has nothing to due with the Eighth Amendment’s important and philosophically admirable protections?

The above questions are merely examples of perspectives you may choose to consider in drafting your opinion/ views. However, keep in mind a couple of touchstone issues, namely, (1) the question the 9^th circuit panel faced: “(D)oes the Cruel and Unusual Punishments Clause of the Eighth Amendment preclude enforcement of a statute prohibiting sleeping outside against homeless individuals with no access to alternative shelter?, and (2) the panel’s holding (i.e., ruling): “We hold only that ‘so long as there is a greater number of homeless individuals in (a jurisdiction) than the number of available beds (in shelters)’ the jurisdiction cannot prosecute homeless individuals for ‘involuntarily sitting, lying, and sleeping in public.’”

Option #1: Financial Statement Analysis

As a financial statement analyst, select two organizations ( COKE AND PEPSI–see attached outline) in the same industry and analyze their financial statements over time. The financial analysis period must be, at a minimum, the three most recent years. Since you will be spending a considerable amount of time on the project, ensure that you pick organizations that interest you.

The Form 10-K reports, which the organizations filed with the SEC, may be the best place to learn about a particular industry, organization, and organizational strategy, and to obtain reported financial statements. The reports are accessible at http://www.sec.gov/edgar.shtml . (Links to an external site.) An alternative means to obtain the report is by clicking on the SEC filings link on an organization’s website to obtain the latest Form 10-K filings. You can also find current stock valuation and other relevant stock information from financial portals such as Yahoo finance, Google finance, and Reuters.

Your Portfolio Project must include the following for the two organizations (see below for more detail):

• Executive Summary

• Ratio Calculation

• Ratio Analysis

• Projected financial statements including income statements, balance sheets, and statements of cash flows

• Your opinion on the overall financial health of each company

The executive summary should include an explanation of the business itself, background information on each company, including product lines, geographical locations and the company’s position in the industry.

The Ratio Calculations should be done in a table in Excel and included with your submission. The following ratios should be included for each company and for 2 years:

• Working Capital
• Current Ratio
• Total Debt to Total Equity Ratio
• Times Interest Earned
• RNOA
• ROCE

The ratio analysis should include an explanation of the importance of each ratio, what the ratio tells you about each company, how the ratio changes from year to year, and which company appears better based on each ratio.

The Projected financial statements should be done in Excel and included with your submission. *You will need to make necessary adjustments for material non-recurring or unusual income or expenses as well as off-balance sheet assets or liabilities, among others as covered in the course. The adjustment will improve comparability and ensure accurate representation of the organization’s’ economic performance. Be sure to identify important assumptions regarding the companies, industry and business environment, and other important assumptions for estimates and forecasts, including their business strategies.

Your opinion of the overall financial health of the company should reflect everything you have learned throughout the course as to the analysis of financial reporting.

Your submission should include:

• The financial statements from the companies you analyzed
• The Excel Ratio Table Calculations
• The Excel Projected Financial Statements
• An 8-10 page paper covering the information listed above
• Include the financial statements you analyzed and other information used as exhibits after the reference page.

Your project must be formatted according to CSU-Global Guide to Writing and APA Requirements.

Your task is to view a sports-related movie and write a brief review. Here are the steps to the assignment.

Step 1: You are to choose any movie you wish to write a report on or a movie from the list of sportsrelated movies below.

Step 2: Rent and watch the movie. Even if you have seen the movie before, you should rent it and watch it again. While viewing the movie, identify sport psychology themes that are depicted in the movie (aggression, parental involvement, goal setting, teamwork, etc.). You should probably take notes so you can remember what you saw so you can report on it later.

Step 3: Write a review of the movie. The review should be 2 to 4 double spaced pages with 1” margins, 12 font, and should contain the following sections:

Heading: Include the title, year, sport(s) depicted, and the sport psychology theme(s) you identified in the movie. Identify as many major themes as you can.

Plot outline:Give a brief description of the major characters and the storyline. Feel free to describe the ending, as you won’t ruin my watching of the movie by doing so. This section should be 1 or 2 paragraphs.

Theme(s): Discuss 1 or 2 of the themes identified in the heading. Discuss them in the context of the movie and in the context of what the field of sport psychology knows. This may require some reading in the text that we have not yet covered. You may also use other sources (research studies, magazine articles, etc.) to support your discussion. You can use quotes from the movie to illustrate points. Offer any suggestions for interventions, if appropriate, that are based on what you have learned so far.

Summary: A paragraph summarizing the movie and your discussion of the themes. End this with a rating of the movie from 1 (terrible) to 5 (great).
