t a strong tradition of no damages for a party who “comes to the nuisance” exists in your jurisdiction
Assume that a strong tradition of no damages for a party who “comes to the nuisance” exists in your jurisdiction. Also, time has been turned back so that neither the
factory nor the housing development presently exist; the developmental conditions of the area are not yet really ripe for such activities. Will the “comes to the
nuisance” rule affect the pace and pattern of development? Is there anything objectionable about the behavior potentially motivated by a “comes to the nuisance” rule?
[Hint: The rule in question sets up a “race” for valuable legal rights. Is this race costless? Might society arguably be “better off” if the rights were allocated in
some other way? When is it worth paying the costs of having the race?]

Observe Records Storage Equipment and Supplies in Use
Visit a local office to observe the records storage equipment and supplies currently being used. This
cannot be an office where you or a family member is currently working or have worked. Use the
following questions as well as additional questions you came up with to gather information.
Person interviewed, office name and location, and visit date:
Cindy King
SAMSA – Saginaw, MI
3/7/17
_____________________________________________________________________________________
1. Describe the specific types of filing equipment used including security. What types of storage is
used? Does it appear that the equipment is adequate for the usage? Does any of the equipment
lock?
Since this is a small office the HR department has just two Lateral file drawers.
Because of the office being so small the only security used for the drawers is a key which is hidden;
there has never been an issue with employees trying to snoop or anything like that.
One file drawer has all the employee records such as; time sheets, W-2 information, bank information,
etc.
The other information that this file drawer holds are purchase order information from vendors, to client
documents such as service orders, to the Amex bill and phone bills.
The other Lateral file drawer contains the same information but from previous years.
2. Describe the specific types of filing supplies used including files (cut), folders (hanging), labels, color,
etc… How are files and folders labeled: all caps and punctuation?
Hanging green folders separate the manila folders used for filing.
Labeling for service orders for clients’ names are marked A-Z and they are filed by first name.
Vendor (merchandise purchasing) information is labeled by vendor (Newegg, Synnex, Dell,) and is filed
alphabetically with the most recent in front.
I was not allowed to see the how the employee information was filed due to legal reasons but she told
me that they were filed in manila folders by the employee’s last names.
All the “to-be-paid” are filed in the very first drawer after the “paid” folder.
The “paid” folder is just one manila folder inside a hanging green folder – no specific organization
method to be used here.
You can tell they have been paid because they are stamped and have the paystub receipt attached to it.
ASSIGNMENT 5
OAT 160 Records Management
WORK SITE VISIT
Observe Records Storage Equipment and Supplies in Use
Visit a local office to observe the records storage equipment and supplies currently being used. This
cannot be an office where you or a family member is currently working or have worked. Use the
following questions as well as additional questions you came up with to gather information.
Person interviewed, office name and location, and visit date:

SAMSA – Saginaw, MI
3/7/17
_____________________________________________________________________________________
1. Describe the specific types of filing equipment used including security. What types of storage is
used? Does it appear that the equipment is adequate for the usage? Does any of the equipment
lock?
Since this is a small office the HR department has just two Lateral file drawers.
Because of the office being so small the only security used for the drawers is a key which is hidden;
there has never been an issue with employees trying to snoop or anything like that.
One file drawer has all the employee records such as; time sheets, W-2 information, bank information,
etc.
The other information that this file drawer holds are purchase order information from vendors, to client
documents such as service orders, to the Amex bill and phone bills.
The other Lateral file drawer contains the same information but from previous years.
2. Describe the specific types of filing supplies used including files (cut), folders (hanging), labels, color,
etc… How are files and folders labeled: all caps and punctuation?
Hanging green folders separate the manila folders used for filing.
Labeling for service orders for clients’ names are marked A-Z and they are filed by first name.
Vendor (merchandise purchasing) information is labeled by vendor (Newegg, Synnex, Dell,) and is filed
alphabetically with the most recent in front.
I was not allowed to see the how the employee information was filed due to legal reasons but she told
me that they were filed in manila folders by the employee’s last names.
All the “to-be-paid” are filed in the very first drawer after the “paid” folder.
The “paid” folder is just one manila folder inside a hanging green folder – no specific organization
method to be used here.
You can tell they have been paid because they are stamped and have the paystub receipt attached to it.
If the company has switched to an electronic records management system (or is in the process of
switching), use the following questions to gather information.
6. What made you decide to switch to an electronic records management (ERM) system?
Company has some electronic records but they will be sticking to paper for the time being.
7. What software/program do you use for your ERM system?
The main programs they use are Intranet and QuickBooks to keep track of service orders and expenses.
8. How long did it take or do you expect it to take to switch to an ERM system?
Before when the company first started out they had all inventory put on an excel spread sheet. Now
everything is on the Intranet and it is much easier to use. It took a few months of using it to get used to
the new system.
9. What was involved in switching to an electronic system?
10. What are the advantages/disadvantages of using an ERM system instead of paper system?

E-mail assignment
Assignment
For this assignment, you need to create a response to each of the email messages provided.
The purpose of this assignment is for you to apply writing principles while responding to business email. The emails you’ll receive simulate internal and external. Assume that you are employed at the Blue Bay Resort and Conference Center. As you might expect, the culture is fast-paced and fairly informal, with employees relying heavily on email. While speed is important, high value is also placed on precision: All of your email responses should be grammatically correct and error free.
You will play the role of the catering director for the Blue Bay Resort and Conference Center. You took this job five years ago and are busier than you ever imagined you might be—running from meeting to meeting every day. Your only time to respond to your email is during your short breaks between customer meetings. As usual, you have a flood of messages which all seem critical. Your challenge during this assignment is to respond to all of your email and write clear responses.
When responding to each of the messages, consider all of the following:
What do you think is an appropriate response to your message?
What information do you think should be included?
What might be inappropriate for this type of message?
How long should an appropriate response be?
What would you consider too long?
What tone should you use for the message?

Review problem #5
Joan, a widow, died on January 15, 2017. At her death Joan owned many assets with the following FMV at DOD (fair market value at time of death):
savings account $2,350,000
checking account $3,000
California tax exempt municipal bonds $100,000
1,000 shares of Cisco stock [the high and low for the Cisco share on DOD (date of death) was $19 and $21]
A thoroughbred horse named George appraised at DOD for $900,000 but the executor of the estate was only able to sell it at the Kentucky yearly thoroughbred auction in March of 2017 for $500,000.
residence $3,500,000, which is subject to a mortgage of $300,000
joint and survivor checking account with her son John in which she contributed all the funds $50,000
personal and household goods $15,000
Joan was a beneficiary of a testamentary trust created under the will of her late uncle George, pursuant to which she was entitled to income for life from the trust payable at least annually and over which she had a power to appoint the entire trust assets in favor of anyone. The value of the trust corpus at Joan’s DOD equals $1,000,000.
In June of 1999 Joan created an irrevocable trust with $500,000. She was the income beneficiary for 10 years and the remainderman was her nephew Jimmy. The value of the trust at Joan’s DOD was $4,500,000 (Use Table B Term Certain for assumed 6% rate in June of 1999…(actual was 6.4%)).
Joan transferred her $500,000 term life insurance on her life into an irrevocable insurance trust in June of 2013.
Joan was the income beneficiary for her life of a trust created by her Uncle Tom. The remainderman was her nephew Jimmy. The value of the trust $300,000.
Joan owned whole life $300,000 insurance policy on the life of her son John. At the time of her death the surrender value is $20,000.
Joan owned annuities for her life. During her lifetime she received $12,000 per year.
funeral and administrative expenses $25,000
charitable donation to Rady Children’s Hospital $100,000
her will provides that all her estate is to pass to John.

Incarceration Nation: Why Is This Happening? What’s To Be Done?
Sociologists are increasingly concerned with with the size and composition of the U.S. prison population which has continued to grow to historically unprecedented levels, globally speaking. As members of a democratic society, these trends should be of concern to us all and a social problem that needs to be openly discussed. In this week’s second conference I want you to read and analyze data from a several reports that will give you an empirical basis for understanding U.S. imprisonment trends.
What You Should Do
Read Chapter 6 from your textbook in its entirety, taking careful notes as you do.
Click on and read through each of the following reports. The Pew Charitable Trust’s report titled “Pew Prison Count 2010” (https://www.prisonlegalnews.org/media/publications/pew_ctr_state_prison_count_2010.pdf). The short report contains some fascinating charts, tables and text that complement the “Prison Problem” section of your textbook. While the U.S. prison populations in some states have dropped somewhat over the four year period between 2008-2012 (http://www.bjs.gov/content/pub/pdf/cpus12.pdf), as of 2013 the U.S. still has the largest prisoner population in the world both in absolute terms and when viewed as a rate (http://www.businessinsider.com/world-map-of-incarceration-rates-2014-1).
Write a series of substantial, edited paragraphs in which you react to the dimensions of the report. Whatever aspects of the data and analysis you focus are up to you. However, in doing so, I want you to make sure that at a minimum you address the following questions. First, why do you think that the prison population trends have occurred? Second, what do you think can be done to alleviate the situation to reduce recidivism and ultimately the future size of the U.S. prison population?
