George, Mark, and three other friends have planned to go out drinking for the evening at several nightclubs about 45 miles from Centervale. George has offered to drive the group in his Pontiac Bonneville. Although there are not enough seatbelts for everyone, the group piles into the vehicle and ventures out for a night of fun on the town. Several hours later, after visiting three bars, Mark drives the group to the next bar because George has had too much to drink. Unfortunately, Mark has also had too much to drink, which causes him to lose control and crash the vehicle.

When emergency services arrive on the scene, Mark is not seriously injured and is able to give details of what he believes happened to have caused the crash. George is seriously injured and is life-flighted to a trauma center along with another friend, one friend is deceased, but still seat belted in the car, and one friend who was thrown from the vehicle, sustained moderate injuries.

Highway Patrolman Green suspects’ alcohol might have played a role in the crash and asks Mark to perform a series of field sobriety tests. Mark fails the tests, and is arrested and charged with DWI. Mark awaits his Initial Appearance in court, while the Highway Patrol Reconstruction Team reconstructs the crash, calculates the approximate speed of the vehicle, and determines other pertinent facts.

The Highway Patrol Officers review the case with the District Attorney before Mark’s initial appearance. It is agreed that Mark can be charged with reckless driving, speeding, four counts of felony assault, and one count of involuntary manslaughter. Mark’s toxicology tests revealed a blood alcohol level of .21 and further evidence shows he was driving at 75 miles per hour at the time of the crash.

The Judge formally reads the charges, advises Mark of his rights, and appoints him an attorney during his initial court appearances. Mark posts bail while he awaits his arraignment. You are working with a Criminal Justice university course. The professor has asked you to create a case study on this case that will provide her students with a real world situation that demonstrates the basics of the class. Your case study must:

1. Identify, define, examine, and discuss the crimes committed in the above scenario.
2. Demonstrate your knowledge of the criminal justice process that occurred in this scenario. Evaluate the beginning and end of the involvement of the criminal justice system in this scenario. Research your state’s view on deaths related to DUI offenses and the potential that this crime could be classified as murder. Relate each involvement to the Court system or Criminal Justice System as a whole.
3. Propose a possible “next step” for Mark and the case. Compare and contrast his possible options. What systems of the Criminal Justice System will be accessed with each option? Consider Mark’s rights as a defendant in this scenario from postarrest through awaiting trial.
4. Examine the rights of the victims as they related to the criminal justice process.
5. If these crimes were committed in a state that has a Grand Jury system, discuss where in the series of steps the Grand Jury would hear evidence in this case.

A common component of investing money is to take advantage of a financial institution’s willingness to pay compound interest. Compound interest is basically interest paid on a deposit that continually accumulates interest. In general, the formula for compound interest can be represented by the following exponential function:

In this formula, P(t) represents the total money in the account after t years given the interest rate k which is compounded continuously. In this assignment, you will use this formula to explore the affect that compound interest can have over a period of time and at different interest rates.

Directions:

Select an amount of money that you would like to invest (for example $1000.00). This will be your P0 value.
Let your interest rate be k = 0.5%.
Write out the exponential function using the P0 and k values you have.
Determine the value of your investment after 1, 5, and 10 years.
Now, find the doubling time T for your investment. In other words, at what time would your initial deposit double in value?
Repeat steps 3 through 5 for k = 1%.
Repeat steps 3 through 5 for k = 1.5%.

In a Microsoft Word document, prepare a report that includes answers to the following:.

Report the results of the calculations you performed above.
What affect did changing the interest rate have on the rate at which your investment grew?
What affect did changing the interest rate have on the doubling time (time until your initial deposit doubled in size)?
Assume that this money is being invested in a savings account. Are the interest rates we selected realistic for such an account today?
Consider the formula we used to determine the future value of our deposit. Is this formula a realistic approximation of what we could expect from an investment or are there other issues or factors that must be considered?
Besides savings accounts, what other kinds of investment accounts or programs are typically offered at your bank? Do these accounts use compound interest? What are the typical interest rates for these accounts?
Use your textbook or another reference to research how to calculate simple interest. Given what you know about compound and simple interest, which would you prefer that your investment programs were based upon? Why?

Assignment 2 PowerPoint Presentation

Ultimately, a manager or supervisor within an organization should be responsible for team development. Inevitably, however, differences among team members will arise. Based on the team-building checklist found on page 89 of the textbook (ATTACHED), design a PowerPoint presentation that illustrates your understanding of how team-building activities can be utilized to diagnose and solve problems within a team. In addition, provide examples of how these problems can serve as detriments to team success. Also, outline the phases of the team-building cycle and how it can be used to develop activities to improve team performance.

At least two additional resources should be used in addition to your textbook, and each should be cited and referenced properly using APA formatting. The presentation should consist of a title slide, a minimum of eight slides of content, and a reference slide.

An anecdote about an event in Auschwitz appears on page 134 of Religions of the West Today. Explain the significance of what is described there, especially the fervor with which the Jews present “sang and danced and cried.” Why is the knowledge of Sh’ma Yisrael (shema) by the young boy an occasion for such joy among the Jews in the death camp? Be as specific as possible in explaining the meaning of this anecdote.
