Reena Villariz AP English- Period 4 Ms. Cunningham March 31, 2011 Conserving energy is definitely crucial in improving a nation’s economy, environment and society. Throughout the years, scientists and other experts developed various ways on how to save electricity. Daylight saving time, which was initiated by Benjamin Franklin in 1784, is one method in which individuals can properly maintain the environment. Due to its massive significance to mankind’s society and surroundings, the daylight savings time should be continuously regulated for its outstanding benefits such as crime reduction, energy conservation and traffic safety. Daylight saving time offers a more harmless environment; it decreases crime rates that usually happen during the evening.
Overview The lawsuit between Solo Cup Company (“Solo”) and Trigen-Cinergy Solutions (“Trigen”) arose out of an Energy Services Agreement and Equipment Lease that Solo entered into with Trigen to construct an 11.2-megawatt electricity co-generation plant at the Owings Mills facility. Solo was under the impression that by entering into this agreement, they would save at least $820,000 in energy costs annually, which was to be prepaid by Trigen and eventually paid back by Solo over 20 years. After Solo did analyses on the project, they discovered they would actually be losing money in the first year of the contract, and took action to sever the contract. Arbitration then took place to award damages to the rightful party. After extensive review of the relevant facts in this dispute, it has come to my attention that the loss contingency is incorrectly booked for Solo Cup Company.
How will the state deal with future budget cuts to high education in California? Sure this will solve the budget cuts in 7 years, what about after? How will the university system cope with handling more students entering each and every year? The tax increase targets the a group of people who makes over $250,000 a year in California.

The president of Cuba, Rahul Castro, announced on September 13, 2010 that at least half a million state workers would be laid off in the next six months. The reason for this reduction of workers is Castro's attempt to get Cuba's socialist economy going by creating more jobs in the private sector. Many people will lose jobs that they took for granted under the communist government but at the same time government regulations on many businesses will be loosened in the attempt to boost the economy. Also Rahul Castro has launched a few free-market reforms since he has taken over as president. In the video that goes along with the article, the reporter shows the general population of Cuba while they are going on with their every day lives.
Illegal Aliens are harming our economy and are taking American jobs contrary to what you are led to believe. "Over the past 10 years, more than 2 million low-skilled American workers have been displaced from their jobs and each 10 percent increase in the immigrant workforce decreases U.S. wages by 3.5 percent" writes CNN financial analyst Lou Dobbs (Grigg 1). Current president George W. Bush and his political allies assure the public that illegal immigrants are doing jobs that nobody else wants. However, Steve Camarota of the Center for Immigration Studies, points out "what they really mean is that they are doing the jobs that they as middle- and upper-class people don't want" (Grigg 1). Agriculture has many other instances of employers switching to immigrant workers whether they are legal or not to increase their profits.

The author not only discussed the shortcomings of the research article, but she made valid points as to how the research was meaningful and significant. The impact of the article leaves readers with the sense that there needs to be a change in what our children are watching. The research study proved that even in as little as nine minutes children’s overall cognitive functioning decreases when watching fast paced shows. By watching these fast paced shows (compared to drawing or educational programs) children are being primed to be A.D.H.D like impulsive and are not being able to control their attention spans, solve problems, or handle delay of gratification and working memory dilemmas. From the results and the article, parents should be aware of the consequences that these fast paced programs may have on their
When dead and decomposed, we are still capable of being labeled by our monetary value. The more one’s life insurance is worth, the worthier one will be. Unfortunately, Willy Loman makes the discovery that his death holds more money than does his life. Despite Charley’s efforts at convincing Willy that “nobody’s worth nothin’ dead (98),” the salesman proceeds to end his life for the “$20,000 proposition (103).” While some readers may have frowned upon his actions, they are not far from our own. In an attempt to increase the value of their lifeless bodies, millions of people invest money every month into a life insurance policy.
Soon the tanning business would decrease as the government put a federal tax and raised the age limit so high as an awareness to those that indoor tanning is indeed health risky.
