The year 2014 was a nightmare for James Littleton. In January 2014, Littleton was diagnosed with Type 2 (adult onset) diabetes. In June, Littleton's physician expressed concern regarding the lack of circulation in his left leg, and in October, a circulatory specialist recommended that the left leg be amputated to the knee; reluctantly, but resigned to his fate, Littleton agreed.
On November 1, Littleton is admitted to Pinecrest General Hospital for surgery. In what can only be described as a horrible and catastrophic mistake, the surgeon misreads the diagnosis and surgical instructions and amputates Littleton's right leg by mistake. Littleton's left leg is amputated the next day.
Confined to a wheelchair, but supported by the love, care, and concern of his family, Littleton visits the offices of a local Pinecrest law firm, Stephenson, Gordon, and Ratcliff, which is a general partnership. Stephenson and Gordon agree to represent Littleton in the medical malpractice lawsuit and sign a contract of representation with Littleton, agreeing to represent him for the standard one-third contingency fee, plus associated expenses.
The statute of limitations for medical malpractice actions in the state is three years. Because of oversight and neglect (rumor has it that both Stephenson and Gordon have substance abuse problems), the firm fails to file a complaint against the attending surgeon and Pinecrest General Hospital within the three-year period. Even though he lacks legal training, Littleton knows he will be forever barred from bringing a lawsuit against the doctor and the hospital.
Having experienced catastrophic neglect from two professions he once respected, Littleton focuses his energy on bringing Stephenson, Gordon, and Ratcliff to justice. He sues the general partnership, as well as the individual attorneys, Stephenson, Gordon, and Ratcliff, for legal malpractice.
Ratcliff's attorney moves for dismissal of the claim against his client individually, arguing that Ratcliff was not an attorney of record for Littleton and, as a result, should be dismissed personally from the lawsuit.
What is the applicable rule for partnership liability? Will Physician Ratcliff succeed in his motion for dismissal? Why or Why not? Please explain.

Allison Seizer's very wealthy father, entrepreneur Warren Seizer of Chimichonga Chime restaurant fame, was not what attracted Blake Patterson to her. It was love at first sight, and the two were married two years ago.
Seizer wanted the best for his daughter and son-in-law, so he offered Patterson a Chimichonga Chime franchise with a prime location in the center of the Elmwood business district. After a year under Patterson's ownership, it became clear that the newest Chimichonga Chime was a tremendous business success. In fact, records in sales, revenue, and profit goals for the restaurant were shattered in its first year of operation. Patterson believes that his hands-on ownership and operation of the restaurant was an important part of the store's success.
Unfortunately, the couple's relationship has suffered over time, and the term "irreconcilable differences" has been frequently mentioned in their conversations. Patterson asks for a divorce, and his wife obliges.
Seizer is furious. He is firmly convinced that Patterson is to blame for the marriage's dissolution because there is no conceivable way (at least in his mind) that his "darling angel," his "precious daughter," could be responsible. The creative genius behind Chimichonga Chime plots justice for his daughter and himself—although some may call it revenge.
On September 1, Warren Seizer personally delivers a Notice of Termination of Franchise to Blake Patterson. The document states that Patterson's franchise agreement has been terminated for cause and he must either close the restaurant or cease and desist from using the name Chimichonga Chime and the company's logo and from selling all franchise-related products within 30 days.
What is the rule of law? And who wins based on the rule of law (the father or the son-in-law)? Why?

Find an article on line or in a magazine. Articles related to human resources, psychology, business management, etc. Most of which can also be found on-line.
Make a specific conclusion about what the article means. Meaning, what is your opinion of the article’s point? In other words, is the article’s point or exploring of a technique likely to make managing employees or organization more effective and why?
Then, consider an alternative view. If it’s a negative article, what positive uses/benefits could there be that the article didn’t considered? Conversely, if a positive article, or basically a review of text topic or management technique, what are the potential risks, possible failures, to be aware of? In other words, what are the pro and con implications to a manager, or expert in organizational behavior?
The paper should not be more than 4 pages long double spaced. Start it with a synopsis of the article, no more than a page. It should summarize the article so that anyone reading your paper, including myself, can understand what the article was about related to a text, course topic. Then complete the paper by following the instructions above.

Solve the following model using linear programming and determine the values of the decision variables and objective function. Then, round the decision variables values down to the nearest integer and determine the value of the decision variables and objective function, this is an approximate answer to solving the model using integer programming. Observe if the rounding provides a "feasible" solution, all constraints are satisfied. Finally, solve the model using integer programming and determine the values of the decision variables and the objective function using integer constraints. Observe the differences in the answers using the three methods. Maximize Z = 2x1 + 6x2 + 3x3 subject to 1x1 + 1x2 + 1x3 ≤ 7 -1x1 + 1x2 + -1x3 ≤ -6 -1x1 + 1x2 + -2x3 ≤ -3 x1, x2, x3 ≥ 0
