Avenue of Advocacy that I Have Taken Into My Personal Life Discussion

reply to discussion post belowWhat a phenomenal story Pete, thank you for sharing that story with us!  And can I say how thankful so many families must be, that have had loved ones saved dues to your extensive efforts to get this program started!  One avenue of advocacy that I have taken into my personal life is helping educate and assist people with nutrition.  Although this is not directly related to CI/KR, I feel that the country as a whole does not do enough with the education of our youth.  One way this could be alleviated is through the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and other agricultural companies throughout the Nation.  Although this is a tough topic to speak of, largely due to the fact that so much of the Nation’s agricultural cash crops (Corn, Soy, Wheat, etc.) are controlled by monopolies.  With vast sums of money tied into these resources, why would information be given to the masses that would tell them to stop eating products containing corn syrup, high fructose corn syrup, dextrose, sugar, maltodextrin just to name a few. One young man that I work with has been having issues with his weight and it has started to negatively effect his health, work performance and productivity.  I took it upon myself to start educating him and helping with his overall health.  The first thing that I did was sit down with him and asked him to name 5 things that he routinely eats that he knows he shouldn’t.  The list contained items such as soda, chips and other convenient snacks, sweet breads, desserts… you get the idea.  Now, this is a 26 year old male, active duty Navy and an adult capable of making his own decisions.  If he KNOWS that he shouldn’t be eating items such as this, why is he?  There is information out there that tells us things like this are bad for our overall health, but what about those individuals that don’t get to make their own nutritional choices?  This is a topic very near and dear to me and I am extremely curious to see what some of you think.  I feel the more information needs to provided to the youth of our country, and from a government standpoint, WE need to initiate a movement to better the health and well-being of our children.

  Pretend you need to analyze solutions that contain variable kinds and amounts of amino acids ( not whole proteins or peptides ). To do this analysis , you need a practical method that can separate and quantitatively detect all twenty fundamental – amino acids . Briefly discuss one procedure , other than paper chromatography / ninhydrin , that could be used to solve this analytical problem . It’s okay if your procedure requires more than one step ( ie a separation technique followed by an analytical step ).
Include in your answer : 
a ) a description of the molecular basis for the separation chemistry
 b ) a description of the technique that will be used for detection of the analytes and how /why detection would be quantitative
 c ) the strategy that will be used to characterize which of the twenty amino acids were in a given mixture 
d ) the limitations of the procedure especially regarding whether it would really work for all 20 amino acids and whether it would truly be quantitative . ( for example , if you think it might not separate every amino acid, explain specifically which ones might be left unseparated and why). 
e ) the peer- reviewed reference for your chosen technique (bear in mind that an “open source” reference such as Wikipedia does not count as a peer-reviewed reference)

1.  HHS and the FTC recently launched an investigation into a major pharmacy chain for its information disposal practices. The regulators claimed that the pharmacy chain failed to protect customers’ sensitive financial and medical information by disposing prescriptions and labeled pill bottles in dumpsters that were accessible by the public. Based on the HIPAA (Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996), what consequences should a company face for failing to properly dispose of customer information? For HIPAA act, you may check the website. 
2. Trust is an important part of the continued growth and development of the Internet. This is particularly the case with respect to social networking. Media reports of disturbing stories and case law alike have shown some of the consequences that can arise when individuals create false social networking profiles. In a case in California, and individual established a fake MySpace profile of his former church pastor. On the profile, he posted content that suggested that the pastor used drugs and was homosexual. Can criminal charges be brought against the party that created the fake profile?
3. Read the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act of 1974 (FERPA) at ED, discuss who has access to your educational record at APUS. Furthermore, what is the roles and responsibilities for APUS instructors and students to comply with FERPA

Esssay must be at least 1000 words. Please include a works cited page as well.
What constitutes an appropriate role for the judiciary? Some people argue that courts have become too powerful and that judges legislate from the bench. What does it mean for a court to be activist? What does it mean for a court to show judicial restraint? Although conservatives have long complained about the activism of liberal justices and judges, in recent years liberals have pointed out that conservative judges and justices are now more likely to overturn precedents and question the power of elected institutions of government. Conservatives counter by saying they are simply returning to an older precedent that had been ignored by liberals. If both liberals and conservatives engage in judicial activism, what is the role of the concept of “activism” (perhaps judicial activism is just a term used to describe a court decision you disagree with)?

The difference between preliminary field and laboratory testing | CRJ311

Handling and processing evidence is an integral component of crime scene management because it lays the foundation for everything the court must consider when weighing the admissibility of evidence. For the most part, the courts prefer testing being carried out in a laboratory setting. However, there are exceptions, such as times when an initial examination also yields valuable information. In this assignment, you will differentiate between testing that might be done on-scene versus in the laboratory, identify testing that might be subject to preliminary testing, as well as compare the different results yielded by preliminary field versus laboratory testing. Support your assignment with examples from this week’s required material(s) and/or a minimum of three other scholarly or credible resources and properly cite any references.
Prior to beginning work on this assignment, please review the following:
You are also strongly encouraged to review the list of recommended resources, as they may assist you with this assignment.
In your assignment, address the following:

Identify what types of evidence might be subjected to preliminary or field testing.
Describe at least two types of testing that might be done on scene.
Differentiate between why some evidence can and should be subjected to preliminary testing on scene, while other types should not.
Explain how the on-scene test compares to laboratory testing.
Compare and contrast the results yielded by preliminary field versus laboratory testing.
Compare and contrast the admissibility of on-scene versus laboratory testing at trial.
