.... the association ruling that municipal communications companies defied federal regulation of communications companies. In a rare case, though, state judges reversed their view on this issue when Hawarden citizens asked for a rehearing. After reviewing the federal Telecommunications Act of 1996 (which deregulated federal control of communications companies), the judges decided that federal law allowed for the creation of municipal communications companies. In my opinion, this case has a very positive effect upon the role of technology in rural areas. For years rural Iowans have been behind those in larger cities. Services such a .....

.... are able to understand the psychology of children, the better we may understand why people turn out the way they do. Hopefully in doing so, we may have a clearer understanding of what has negative effects on child development. Therefore, we can revolve around the negative and focus more on the positive. Resulting in a better future for everybody. Content: Both Plato and Aristotle wrote about children. Plato believed that children are born with special talents and their training should stress those talents. His views are consistent with modern thinking about individual differences and education. Aristotle proposed methods for obser .....

.... of violence. When leagues such as the National Football League (NFL) or the National Hockey League (NHL) areasked to try and remove the violence from their sport, they are hesitant because it is not what the fanswant. "Bryant and Zillman report that television viewers enjoy NFL plays more when they are rough andviolent" (McPherson 294). Why should these leagues remove the violence that is occurring if they are making money andkeeping people employed. The fans of the games want to see these situations and eliminating the fightingaspect would hurt the support. When I watch a hockey game or any other sporting event with contact,ther .....

.... one finds the dictionary falls short of the obligation of properly defining it. Everyone can be, and probably is, a hero. Even the person who is reading these words now is more likely than not worthy of this distinction and if they are not, then they inevitably will be. A hero is anyone who has forgotten themselves for another or anyone who has been positively influential in the life of another, for having done a deed that has consequences of a beneficial nature makes one a hero in the eyes of the one they helped. The grandness of the deeds one does to become a hero and the number of people one serves as a hero for is irrelev .....

.... An increase in the percentage of people telecommuting to work will decrease the need for expanded highways and associated road maintenance. Once a person arrives at a central office working location, he or she represents another energy consumer, often times magnified over what would be required at home. The office building has heating, cooling, and lighting needs, and the materials to build it and maintain it require energy in their production and transportation. Working from home requires only modest incremental demands on energy for heating, cooling, and lighting needs, and makes effective use of existing building space an .....

.... need and motivational bases of other leaders and subordinates in the organisation. This power in essence is the traditional power to reward and penalize - but what do the respondents or power recipients consider to be rewards and penalties? In a large organisation there motivations are likely to be as varied as human needs can be - not only for security, higher income and better working conditions but for affection, recognition, deference, esteem, and for both autonomy towards and dependence on the executive leader, for both conformity and individuality - traits that can exist in the same person. Other things being equal, the st .....

.... of one firm with respect to output, price, or quality will cause a reaction on the side of other firms. Many times an leads to price leadership between many firms. A price leadership is the practice in many oligopolistic industries in which the largest firm publishes its price list ahead of its competitors. Then these competitors feel the need to match those announced prices so they lower their prices. This is also termed a parallel pricing. Oligopolies tend to be broken down into one of two distinguished groups. These groups are either a homogeneous or differentiated . Homogeneous oligopolies have a standardized product .....

.... definitions to , "success," one may judge succsess on how much money make. This man in my mind is a, "geek." But a sucsessful one when it comes to money. With out his know how, and initiative he wouldn't be as sucsessful as he is today. He took the his idea of starting his own company including the risks that came along with his proposition, and is now a billionaire. As the naked eye can see, initiative and risk taking are an essential element of becoming a self made man. Another quality to becoming a self made man is dedication. After people take the initiative to do something and decide that they want to be sucsess .....

.... allowed to grow up without surgical intervention. These procedures lie at the heart of a rather heated debate, especially in the Boxer world. Unlike many other cropped and docked breeds, the Boxer’s breed standard offers no choice regarding whether the tail or, most significantly, the ears may be left natural and still satisfy the standard’s guide lines.(Vickers 4) This is a restriction that many enthusiasts hope to see changed in the future. In the show ring, if a dog is found to have been cosmetically altered to mold it into the breed standard’s image, that dog is disqualified unless the surgeries in question are tai .....
