What incentives do presidents have to act unilaterally or not act at all, and under what circumstances? What are the limits (legal/constitutional/political) to a president’s ability to take unilateral action?

Immigration reform

In the United States presidents not only have informal policy-relevant powers such as agenda-setting and formal policy powers such as the veto, but also powers to make policy unilaterally, such as issuing an executive order. Write a paper in which you analyze the role of the U.S. president in setting public policy with or without the support of Congress. Contemporary debates on immigration reform offer important case studies for examining the limit and power of executive-branch policy action. Choosing immigration reform as your issue focus, assess how presidential leadership and authority have helped or hindered these reforms and how you might advise the president today. In your essay, consider the following questions:

* What incentives do presidents have to act unilaterally or not act at all, and under what circumstances?
* What are the limits (legal/constitutional/political) to a president’s ability to take unilateral action?
* Using clear evidence, can you show which interest groups and what messages are informing the president’s policy action or inaction on your chosen policy issue?

Why would one see a Babinski sign rather than a normal sign? Why do you think this is not a first order neuron issue? Hint: What would you see (or not see) if the nerves were damaged?

/in /by

Case Study

A 25 year-old male involved in a motorcycle accident was brought to your ER. The patient complains of being unable to move his legs voluntarily.

The doctor orders a CT but the CT is currently out of commission so you must do some inductive reasoning. One thing you must determine is the severity and location of the patients lesion. You begin by scraping the bottom of their foot with the dull-pointed end of a reflex hammer starting at the heel moving to the small toe and then following the ball of the foot toward the big toe. The patients foot demonstrates a Babinskis sign.

Deliverables
Answer the following questions and save your responses in a Microsoft Word document. Provide a scholarly resource in APA format to support your answers.

The term used for this condition (inability to move legs voluntarily) is called:
Name the parts of a basic reflex pathway.
Describe Babinsk sign and compare it to what a normal response would look like.
Why would one see a Babinski sign rather than a normal sign?
Why do you think this is not a first order neuron issue? Hint: What would you see (or not see) if the nerves were damaged?
Where along the spinal cord could you see a lesion in the CT for this patient?

3-2 Discussion: The Importance of Data Visualizations

Data visualization methods offer a different landscape for explaining situations using data. Graphical representations of information, if created properly, can make vital information more intuitive, contextualized, and accessible. Visualization plays an essential part in analyzing big data and simplifying complex data-intensive scenarios.

In this discussion, using the Viz of the Day webpage, select a business-focused visualization to debate in your post (you may have to toggle to more than one page to see business-specific visualizations). Consider the audience and purpose of the visualization you selected, and think about the strategy used to present the information and analysis visually. In your initial post, make sure to include the link to the visualization you selected, and address the following:

Why have you selected this one?
How does the author of the visualization address the audience?
How is the purpose of the visualization conveyed?
How does the visualization use color, ordering, layout, and hierarchy to prioritize information?

Why or why not? Is your answer to this question based in the preconventional, conventional or postconventional level of moral reasoning? level of moral reasoning? Should the level of moral reasoning be based on the stage of development that the man was in when he escaped from prison, or when he was located by authorities? Explain.

TEXAS GOVERNMENT: Becoming an Informed Voter – Researching Your Texas Delegation

The purpose of this paper is to provide practical application of material learned by developing concepts learned in the presentations. The body of the paper must be at least 6 pages (double spaced, 12-point font) and include subheadings as appropriate and necessary. In addition to the body, you must include a separate title page and reference page. Do not submit an abstract with this assignment.

Do not write the paper without carefully studying the related presentations. To achieve more than a passing grade, you must demonstrate a mastery of the presentations and factual information and incorporate those ideas into your paper. Naturally, stylistic points such as grammar and spelling will be considered in grading. Your paper must adhere to current APA format. Doing the minimum amount of work does not guarantee a perfect score.

The research paper has 2 steps. First, you will analyze the background of your legislative district and your State Representative. Second, you will analyze the political background of your state and your State Senator. Note that these are Texas State Representatives and Senators. Do not use members of your U.S. Congressional Delegation.

The first part will deal with your legislative district and representative; the second part will deal with your state and senator. Interest group scores may be found at Vote Smart.

Document to properly format this essay as you will be required to use formal writing with subheadings as necessary to address and elaborate on each of the following questions in paragraph form:

• What is the recent political history of your district and state?

• How has your state and congressional district voted in recent presidential and congressional elections?

• Can your district or state be considered to be leaning Republican or Democrat?

• Are the political parties relatively even, or does one party dominate the elections?

• Does your district have a long tradition of supporting one party, or has it been changing in recent years?

• How did your representative and senator come to power? (Thoroughly describe their backgrounds.)

• How do the interest groups (ADA, ACLU, ACU, CC or FRC) rate your representative and senator? (Note: If the Christian Coalition score is not available, you may substitute the Family Research Council score. Include the exact scores from each of these groups. The rationale for this is explained in the presentation.)

• Based on these ratings, would you classify your representative and senator as conservative or liberal? Justify your answer.
