Read the question or topic carefully and compose a quality answer including reference to the source of your information. When completing any written assignment in this course, you are expected to express your own ideas and thoughts, using your own words. Do not plagiarize a response. To serve as a guideline-your original post must be a minimum of 400 words although some topics may need more to thoroughly discuss. Add a citation or reference in all your initial discussion board responses. While driving on Interstate 40 in North Carolina, Carroll Jett became distracted by a texting system in the cab of his tractor-trailer truck. He smashed into several vehicles that were slowed or stopped in front of him, injuring Barbara and Michael Durkee and others. The injured motorists filed a suit in the federal district court against Geologic Solutions, Inc., the maker of the maker of the texting system, alleging product liability. Was the accident caused by Jett’s inattention or the texting device? Should a manufacturer be required to design a product that is incapable of distracting a driver? Please discuss in detail and support your viewpoint.

The Appeal by John Grisham. I need a review of the book answering the following questions below. John Grisham, a lawyer by training, has written a number of novels about the law, many of which have been made into popular movies.  The Appeal is a story about a large and powerful chemical corporation that has been sued by residents in a small Mississippi town for wrong full death action. Carl Trudeau, the CEO of the Krane Corporation, is anxious to appeal the verdict to the Mississippi Supreme Court but needs to ensure that the court will provide a friendly and sympathetic forum for his claim. This popular novel is an easy and enjoyable read.  However, the story also explores a variety of issues associated with civil litigation and judicial elections. As you read the book consider the ideas about civil litigation and the election of judges that are part of the novel’s storyline: Does it seem like the opposing litigants portrayed in The Appeal are able to bring different amounts of resources to the lawsuit described in the story? Does it seem that these power asymmetries between the parties affects the course of the litigation? Can the average juror properly assess the complex scientific and medical evidence needed to render a verdict in a case like the one in the novel that deals with the claim that a large corporation has caused a cancer cluster in the small Mississippi town? Why does the Krane Corporation appeal the verdict instead of just paying the damages and moving on?  Why does Krane decide to focus so much attention to Justice McCarthy’s reelection to the Mississippi Supreme Court? What does the novel tell you about elections in general and judicial elections in particular? Sheila McCarthy was originally appointed to the Mississippi Supreme Court and ran unopposed when her first term ended. She now faces opposition in a nonpartisan judicial election. The company that Trudeau and the Krane Corp. hires to navigate through the election campaign has found a “stealth” candidate with no record to attack. Incumbents, such as Sheila McCarthy, on the other hand, have public records that can be used as targets in an election campaign. What do you make of how the company supporting Trudeau and Krane used polls to attack Sheila McCarthy?  One poll question asks “Are you aware that Justice McCarthy is considered the most liberal member of the Mississippi Supreme Court”?  (pp 254-257).  Do you see a problem with such questions? Can campaign ads  be used to easily attack an incumbent on highly charged issues like the death penalty and crime or label the incumbent as a “liberal” in a conservative state?  Does Grisham (the author) seem to assume that voters are easily manipulated? Is there anything about a non- partisan judicial election that might make such manipulation easier than in a partisan election?

Your local community is expecting a visit by the president of the United States (POTUS) in 2 weeks. As is customary, the U.S. Secret Service (USSS) has sent an agent from the nearest field office to plan the advance. The agent has requested that you, as local emergency manager, arrange a meeting with key public safety leaders to review local capabilities, discuss protocol, and outline the incident management structure that will be employed for this event.  Per the USSS agent, the event is set at the local high school. The president will arrive at the nearest international airport, transfer to Marine One, and fly to the sports field nearest the school’s gymnasium. He will speak to a capacity crowd for approximately 45 minutes on the topic of illegal immigration. He is expected to make a major policy announcement during this speech. Although the details of the policy are unknown, the president and his staff have been indicating that they are seeking to impose tough new entry screening practices specifically targeting persons from nations that are known to be home to terrorist organizations. The anticipated policy is being widely decried across the Middle East and is receiving considerable air time on news organizations worldwide.  Following the speech, it is possible that the president will work the “rope line” prior to departure. He will then ride in his motorcade to the local hospital to wish patients injured in a recent fire a swift recovery. The president will then be taken via his motorcade back to the airport and depart immediately for Andrews Air Force Base in the national capital region. Your task this week is to engage in tactical planning for this event. Please complete FEMA’s online course, Introduction to Incident Command System, ICS 100 Level. Following the completion of the course, review the other resources provided as well. Click on the following link to take the FEMA Independent Study course ICS 100. Based upon the scenario provided, write a 3-page incident plan summary intended solely for the interagency leadership team you assemble. Develop and include an ICS organizational chart that demonstrates the incident management construct you will employ, ensuring the engagement of local, state, and federal public safety participants. This chart does not need to reflect every activity or person assigned to the incident, but it should include at least the general staff and several branch section chiefs.  Your narrative, which should be based on what you have learned from the FEMA ICS 100 Course, the course materials, and your own research, should address the following research topics: Assignment Guidelines https://training.fema.gov/is/courseoverview.aspx?code=IS-100.c Address the following in 750–1,000 words: Who should be invited to the initial planning meeting? What agencies and what level of organizational participation should be included? Who will serve as the incident commander for this event? Does the incident management structure you establish share leadership and oversight, or is a single person placed in charge? What are the benefits and drawbacks of the model you create? What other public and private-sector entities did you not include in the initial planning meeting of principals but will have a role either in planning for or coordinating/participating in the event? How will you incorporate them into your management structure?  Given that local, state, and federal agencies all have statutory authority and responsibility to respond to any untoward incident occurring during this event, how have you reconciled overlapping authorities and responsibilities? What planning structure will you employ in preparation (e.g., meetings or conference calls)? Will they include all participants or be subdivided by subject area? Despite the inherent threats faced by the president at all times, does the nature of this event pose any specific, unique, or enhanced risks? How does that factor into your planning process or incident management structure?  How will you achieve intelligence sharing, particularly given your role in emergency management rather than law enforcement, for participating entities during the time leading up to the event? Define the scope of threat information that the planning and incident management teams will need. Is it the same for all participants (thus reducing the specificity and classification level available), or can it be compartmentalized? Be sure to reference all sources using APA style. Compile your answers to the above questions into a final Word document, and submit it to your instructor.

Topic on history, theory or visionaries. Any aspect of the history or theory of planning is permitted or a thorough research on any of the visionaries including their contributions to the current practice of community development planning. Writing should be focus on Public Administration.

Research what the term “de facto” means.  Is the United States Supreme Court a “de facto” lawmaker?  Do their opinions make law?  If so, is this a good thing?   Give some examples if you can find them. The U.S. Supreme Court is one of the three co-equal branches of government.  What is its relationship with the Executive and Legislative branch of government?  What do the branches do? Is one branch more powerful than any other?
