The Mis-Education of the Negro by Carter Godwin Woodson, Ph.D. First published in 1933 in Washington, D.C. by Associated Publishers The contents herein is the same as the 1933 Associated Publishers edition, except for the capitalization of ‘Black’, and ‘Negro’; the converting of ‘tribe’ to ‘group’, and the correction of a few grammatical errors, edited by JPAS editor Itibari M. Zulu. Second, in this exercise, we also recognize a need for gender balance or neutrality in the phraseology of the author, therefore we ask readers to consider the historical and social context of this in any analysis, and thus acknowledge that this work should open a door for a full critical and scholarly analysis of this historic book.

From time to time persons deeply interested in the point of view therein presented have requested that these comments on education be made available in book form. To supply this demand this volume is given to the public. In the preparation of the volume the author has not followed in detail the productions upon which most of the book is based. The aim is to set forth only the thought developed in passing from the one to the other. The language in some cases, then, is entirely new; and the work is not a collection of essays. In this way repetition has been avoided except to emphasize the thesis which the author sustains. Carter Godwin Woodson Washington, D. C.

The mission of policing was described by the author as covering six key areas: enforcing the law, apprehending offenders, preventing crime, predicting crime, preserving the peace, and providing services. With the advent of various forms of terrorism and transnational crime, the police mission has expanded beyond the traditional borders of burglaries and domestic disputes. Beginning with the material conveyed in the assigned reading and presentation, select two scholarly articles from the university criminal justice databases, and integrate those resources to discuss the use of intelligence-led policing (ILP) and the development of fusion centers to equip law enforcement for their expanded mission. Finally, integrate within your discussion the impact of a Judeo-Christian viewpoint on ILP and the development of fusion centers. 500 words .

The Milgram Experiment by Saul McLeod published 2007 Milgram selected participants for his experiment by newspaper advertising for male participants to take part in a study of learning at Yale University. The procedure was that the participant was paired with another person and they drew lots to find out who would be the ‘learner’ and who would be the ‘teacher’. The draw was fixed so that the participant was always the teacher, and the learner was one of Milgram’s confederates (pretending to be a real participant). The learner (a confederate called Mr. Wallace) was taken into a room and had electrodes attached to his arms, and the teacher and researcher went into a room next door that contained an electric shock generator and a row of switches marked from 15 volts (Slight Shock) to 375 volts (Danger: Severe Shock) to 450 volts (XXX). Milgram's Experiment Procedure: At the beginning of the experiment, each participant was introduced to another participant, who was actually a confederate of the experimenter (Milgram). They drew straws to determine their roles – learner or teacher – although this was fixed and the confederate was always the learner. There was also an “experimenter” dressed in a grey lab coat, played by an actor (not Milgram). Two rooms in the Yale Interaction Laboratory were used - one for the learner (with an electric chair) and another for the teacher and experimenter with an electric shock generator. The “learner” (Mr. Wallace) was strapped to a chair with electrodes. After he has learned a list of word pairs given him to learn, the "teacher" tests him by naming a word and asking the learner to recall its partner/pair from a list of four possible choices. The teacher is told to administer an electric shock every time the learner makes a mistake, increasing the level of shock each time. There were 30 switches on the shock generator marked from 15 volts (slight shock) to 450 (danger – severe shock). The learner gave mainly wrong answers (on purpose) and for each of these the teacher gave him an electric shock. When the teacher refused to administer a shock the experimenter was to give a series of orders / prods to ensure they continued. There were 4 prods and if one was not obeyed then the experimenter (Mr. Williams) read out the next prod, and so on. Prod 1: please continue. Prod 2: the experiment requires you to continue. Prod 3: It is absolutely essential that you continue. Prod 4: you have no other choice but to continue. Results: 65% of all the participants (teachers) continued to the highest level of 450 volts. All the participants continued to 300 volts. Milgram did more than one experiment – he carried out 18 variations of his study. All he did was alter the situation (IV) to see how this affected obedience (DV). Conclusion: Ordinary people are likely to follow orders given by an authority figure, even to the extent of killing an innocent human being. Obedience to authority is ingrained in us all from the way.

The Migrants and the Elites A humanitarian crisis threatens the future of Western institutions. ENLARGE Syrian refugees making their way to Greece, Sept. 10. PHOTO: REUTERS By PEGGY NOONAN Sept. 10, 2015 6:32 p.m. ET What a crisis Europe is in, with waves of migrants reaching its shores as the Arab world implodes. It is the biggest migration into Europe since the end of World War II and is shaping up to be its first great and sustained challenge of the 21st century. It may in fact shape that continent’s nature and history as surely as did World War I. It is a humanitarian crisis. As Richard Haass of the Council on Foreign Relations notes, it will not soon go away, for two reasons. First, the Mideast will not be peaceful anytime soon and may well become more turbulent. Second, “The more that Europe responds the more it will reinforce the supply of migrants. Europe is caught.” If it doesn’t respond with compassion and generosity it is wrong in humanitarian terms; if it does, more will come and the problem grows. “This is now part of the architecture,” says Mr. Haass. Opinion Journal Video Editorial Page Writer Sohrab Ahmari on his interviews with Syrians, Iranians and others fleeing to safer shores. Photo credit: Getty Images. Three hundred eighty-one thousand detected migrants have arrived so far this year, up from 216,000 in all of 2014. Almost 3,000 died on the journey or are missing. The symbol of their plight is the photo of the 3-year-old Syrian boy, Aylan Kurdi, who drowned along with his mother and 5-year-old brother when their boat capsized near a Turkish beach. Just as horrifying is what was found inside a Volvo refrigerated truck stranded on the shoulder of the A4 highway 30 miles from Vienna in late August. Inside were 71 bodies, including a 1½-year-old girl, all dead of suffocation. They’d been left there by human smugglers. It is a catastrophe unfolding before our eyes, and efforts to deal with it have at least one echo in America, which we’ll examine further down. According to the U.N. refugee agency, 53% of the migrants are from Syria, 14% from Afghanistan, 7% from Eritrea, and 3% each from Pakistan, Nigeria, Iraq and Somalia. Seventy-two percent are men, only 13% women and 15% children. Not all are fleeing war. Some are fleeing poverty. Not all but the majority are Muslim. The leaders of Europe have shown themselves unsure about what to do. It is a continent-wide crisis that began in 2011, as Tunisians fled to the Italian island of Lampedusa. The following year, sub-Saharan Africans who’d migrated to Libya made for Europe after Muammar Gadhafi’s fall. Since then the European response has largely been ad hoc and stopgap. European Union President Jean-Claude Juncker has proposed a “permanent relocation mechanism” with EU members taking greater shares of the refugees, but it is unclear how exactly it would work. In many EU nations there will be powerful pushback. Like the crisis itself the pushback will build. Europe is in econo.

“The Middle Way.” Moderation seems to be a hard thing for many people to understand. Two great authors had radically different insights on moderation: “Complete abstinence is easier than perfect moderation,” (Saint Augustine) and “Moderation is a fatal thing. Nothing succeeds like excess” (Oscar Wilde). We live in an age of abusive social media, so it seems even more difficult to “find the middle” now. What lessons can you apply to your life by addressing each of the items in the Eightfold Path of the Noble Way? .

The Michael Jordan effect Crawford, Anthony J; Niendorf, Bruce . American Business Review ; West Haven Vol. 17, Iss. 2, (Jun 1999): 5-10. ProQuest document link ABSTRACT In the period immediately following the rumors of Michael Jordan's return to basketball, the five companies that Jordan had major endorsement deals with experienced a nearly $3 billion increase in the market value of their equity. Jordan was labeled the $2 billion man in the press, referring to the value he created for the shareholders of the companies he endorses. However, most of these reports failed to cite the simultaneous bull market that lead the S&P 500 to record highs. The Michael Jordan effect is examined, and it is found that shareholders experienced negative abnormal returns after the announcement of his retirement and positive excess returns when rumors of a comeback surfaced. However, it is also shown that the positive excess returns following the rumors of Jordan's comeback were only temporary and disappeared within weeks of the original rumors. While some evidence is found in support of a Michael Jordan effect, it appears that the rumors of Jordan's impact have been greatly exaggerated. FULL TEXT On October 6, 1993 Michael Jordan unexpectedly retired from basketball after leading the Chicago Bull's to three straight NBA championships. The following spring he showed up for spring training with the Chicago White Sox. Despite his early retirement Jordan maintained his five major endorsement deals from which he is rumored to receive a total of approximately $30 million annually. These endorsements are highlighted in exhibit 1. On March 2nd, 1995 Jordan ended his attempt at professional baseball and left the Chicago White Sox spring training facilities. Shortly after his retirement from baseball, rumors of Jordan's return to basketball surfaced. These rumors touched off a media frenzy as the popular press tied increases in the stock prices of the companies Jordan endorses to speculation over his return. The Los Angeles Times reported that five days after the first reports of his comeback, advertisers experienced a collective $2.3 billion gain in equity value. Time Magazine, Newsweek, Sports Illustrated and nearly every major newspaper ran similar reports at about the same time. Jordan was labeled the $2 billion man. The implication was that Jordan's rumored return to basketball increased his value as an endorser resulting in an over $2 billion dollar gain to shareholders. Table I illustrates the increase in the market value of the five companies which Jordan endorses. The collective increase in market value over a nine business day period, from the date of the first rumors until the first trading day after his comeback announcement, was more than $2.9 billion. The average return over those nine days was 4.59%. The return on the S&P 500 over the same nine day period was just 2.91%. We examine two questions.

The Metropolitan Police Department had recently been criticized in the local media for not responding to police calls in the downtown area rapidly enough. In several recent cases, alarms had sounded for break-ins, but by the time the police car arrived, the perpetrators had left, and in one instance a store owner had been shot. Sergeant Joe Davis had been assigned by the chief as head of a task force to find a way to determine the optimal patrol area (dimensions) for their cars that would minimize the average time it took to respond to a call in the downtown area. Sergeant Davis solicited help from Angela Maris, an analyst in the operations area for the police department. Together they began to work through the problem. Joe noted to Angela that normal patrol sectors are laid out in rectangles, with each rectangle including a number of city blocks. For illustrative purposes he defined the dimensions of the sector as x in the horizontal direction and as y in the vertical direction. He explained to Angela that cars traveled in straight lines either horizontally or vertically and turned at right angles. Travel in a horizontal direction must be accompanied by travel in a vertical direction, and the total distance traveled is the sum of the horizontal and vertical segments. He further noted that past research on police patrolling in urban areas had shown that the average distance traveled by a patrol car responding to a call in either direction was one-third of the dimensions of the sector, or x /3 and y /3. He also explained that the travel time it took to respond to a call ( assuming that a car left immediately upon receiving the call) is simply the average distance traveled divided by the average travel speed. Angela told Joe that now that she understood how average travel time to a call was determined, she could see that it was closely related to the size of the patrol area. She asked Joe if there were any restrictions on the size of the area sectors that cars patrolled. He responded that for their city, the department believed that the perimeter of a patrol sector should not be less than 5 miles or exceed 12 miles. He noted several policy issues and staffing constraints that required these specifications. Angela wanted to know if any additional restrictions existed, and Joe indicated that the distance in the vertical direction must be at least 50% more than the horizontal distance for the sector. He explained that laying out sectors in that manner meant that the patrol areas would have a greater tendency to overlap different residential, income, and retail areas than if they ran the other way. He said that these areas were layered from north to south in the city. So if a sector area were laid out east to west, all of it would tend to be in one demographic layer. Angela indicated that she had almost enough information to develop a model, except that she also needed to know the average travel speed the patrol cars could trav.

THE MG371 CASE Growth Pains at Mountain States Healthcare Background Mountain States Healthcare (MSH) is a regional system of hospitals located in several large metropolitan areas of New Mexico, Arizona, Utah, Colorado, and in Acapulco, Mexico. MHS started as a single hospital in Salt Lake City, Utah, and, due to the business acumen and experience of its officers and Board of Directors, was quite successful and profitable. Over the years, Salt Lake Hospital began purchasing other hospitals and clinics in the state that were not as profitably operated, and eventually changed its name to Utah Health Group (UHG). Each facility continued to operate as an independent entity, except that its name was changed to include “Utah Health Group” and UHG instilled its own successful management style in the newly purchased facilities. When a hospital was bought in Denver, Colorado, the firm created a medical facility holding company in Salt Lake City, named Mountain States Healthcare. MHS treated each facility as a separate subsidiary, except for the clinics, which were associated with a larger hospital in the area. MSH continued to grow, adding facilities from the states it declared as its strategic area. Later, they added a new division of several clinics, an assisted living facility, and a hospital in the resort city of Acapulco, Mexico, to take advantage of medical needs of the large tourist and American retirement population there. The Mexico venture was the most profitable and fastest growing of the MHS family. MSH was a profitable venture, but began to realize that some of its administrative costs were, collectively, much higher than other medical holding companies, and reducing the profits that could be used for the benefit of shareholders. Additionally, the higher overhead costs were affecting the advantage of some hospitals to compete within their districts. The divisions had historically set themselves apart from other medical facilities by offering a full line of specialties within their service packages. The corporate holding company supported this by sharing resources, technology, and even personnel between the divisions when needed. This allowed each of the hospitals to position themselves as medical technology competent full service providers. A consulting firm pointed out several areas of administration which could be consolidated, using the latest technology, to realize a tremendous reduction in costs. The new VP of Finance, Aaron Nelson, newly promoted from the state billing office manager’s position, suggested that medical billing should be the first to consolidate. He reasoned that as each of the facilities had consolidated the billing operations for all facilities within their five geographic areas a few years ago, they should be able to completely consolidate all billing with the latest database technology in a fairly short time, and.
