INSTRUCTIONS
The student will write a 1,000-1,500 word research paper on the unique aerodynamic
characteristics of your favorite aircraft. Your paper should not discuss the capabilities of the
aircraft unless these capabilities pertain to the aircraft’s unique aerodynamic design. The topics
addressed in the Dole text provide specific aerodynamic areas to address as they relate to your
chosen aircraft. Unique characteristics might include:
Airfoils and aerodynamic forces: unique airfoil design to enhance the airfoil’s purpose
(speed, lift, etc.)
Lift/Drag: the relationship that lift and drag have to each other and the design
characteristics to optimize each
Jet Aircraft/Propeller Aircraft: similarities and differences and their use in
commercial/military/missions aviation
Slow-speed flight: how design enhances both performance and safety
Maneuvering Performance: maneuverability/controllability relationship and its effect on
aircraft design
Longitudinal, directional, and lateral stability and control: the relationship between each
during typical phases of flight
High-speed flight: those aspects unique to airframe, engine performance, and the
challenges of flight from takeoff to landing
The paper must adhere to current APA formatting and include a title page and reference page
(neither of which are included in the word count). A minimum of 3 sources must be used, only 2
of which can be from non-academic websites. Do not use Wiki sites. The other sources must be

Electricity Market Deregulation
In 1996 the California legislature deregulated the California electricity market with Assembly Bill (AB) 1890. This followed the deregulation of the airlines and the natural gas market at the national level, which were deemed successful. The California bill, based on earlier decisions by the California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC), created a Power Exchange (PX), which was a wholesale electricity auction market, and an Independent System Operator (ISO) to operate the transmission system. The PX had day-ahead and hour-ahead auctions for wholesale power. The ISO had an energy imbalance market to deal with transmission constraints and to balance generation and load. The intent of this deregulation was to hold prices constant for consumers while assuring an adequate supply of electricity through the use of market forces.
Timing mismatches between the markets and the separation of energy and transmission created opportunities to game the system. A rate freeze by the legislature increased problems by insulating consumers from wholesale prices, which created inelastic demand for electricity.
Market participants quickly learned to withhold generation to increase prices in the real-time market. Power marketers such as Enron developed strategies to defraud the markets. Enron developed falsified schedules to sell energy, claimed payments for congestion relief that it did not actually provide, sold ancillary services without required generating capacity, and intentionally created congestion which increased prices to its benefit.
This resulted in rolling blackouts that began on June 14, 2000, and rapid increases in wholesale prices. Because the legislature had frozen retail prices, California’s major utilities were forced into bankruptcy. In the year 2000, independent power producers made huge profits. The state issued $10 billion in long-term bonds to purchase the energy needed to meet customer demands. This experiment, which was supposed to reduce costs and create efficient supplies of energy, was a failure – costs had increased dramatically, and electricity supply was insufficient.
Neither the CPUC nor the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) had the staff or the legal authority to monitor the markets for fraud and manipulative behavior. This problem was corrected in the Energy Policy Act of 2005, which gave FERC the needed authority and more staff. However, some have suggested that FERC’s new authority reduces the profit motive in wholesale power markets, making them less liquid and efficient than they would otherwise be.
Your essay topic is electricity market deregulation.
Is deregulation a good way to balance supply and demand, making the markets more efficient?
Can that be accomplished in hourly and daily energy markets alone? Should there also be a long-term capacity market or capacity obligation? (Bear in mind that it takes at least a year to get a new power plant permitted, and more time for construction.)
Do FERC and/or the state utilities commissions need more (or less) authority to control fraud and market manipulation?
At least two but not more than three pages.

What is Identity?
Identity is the qualities, beliefs, personality, looks and/or expressions that make a person
–Self-identity is part of psychology… who you are, how you see yourself
–Collective identity is part of sociology… how you identify and how others see you as part of particular groups (i.e., nation, social class, race, culture/sub-culture, ethnicity, gender, employment)
–Attributes of identity can be defined as positive (i.e., helpful or affirming) or negative (i.e., harmful or destructive)
–Identity is fluid; it is not fixed; many factors contribute to forming a person’s identity; these factors can be either common or unique
Consider all of this information when thinking
of Baldwin’s quote and preparing your argument.
Before Writing… Investigate with Questions
•How can personal essays be analyzed effectively?
–Review the checklist in the Appendix of this presentation.
•How does the quest for identity differ from author to author?
•Which authors have similar experiences?
•In what ways are their experiences similar and different?
–Answers to these questions will help you build your argument, analyze the readings, and respond to the prompt.
•How do the authors arrive at their respective identities?
•How can you characterize the authors’ identities?
•To what categories can you assign these identity characteristics?
–Answers to these questions will be your concepts.
•What experiences helped to craft their identities?
•How do these experiences from each reading align with the categories of identity characteristics?
– Answers to these questions will be your details.
Requirements
•Write a thoughtful thesis that states your argument.
•Each body paragraph must build a single point by incorporating two sources (with textual support and analysis).
•Support your overall argument and each point with analysis and textual evidence.
•Include five total paragraphs – an introduction, three body paragraphs, and a conclusion.

Forensic Psychology-Juvenile Transfer: Do The Crime, Do The Time
Question?
When I was a police officer in the 1980s and later a Forensic Psychologist beginning in the 1990s, there was significant reform in the juvenile and criminal justice systems throughout the United States. The goal was to allow for more frequent prosecution of juveniles in adult criminal courts. This reform was primarily motivated by the perception that juvenile crimes have increased—and become more serious. Consequently, as a result, a “get tough” approach was adopted to decrease the rate of juvenile offending. Regrettably, one aspect of this was the “do the crime, do the time” philosophy which created ways where adolescent (those under 18 years old) offenders could be transferred (also called certified or waived) into the adult criminal court system. The criteria vary by state, but the most important are public safety, treatment needs, amenability, and sophistication-maturity. Explain treatment needs and amenability and sophistication-maturity.

Blue Ocean Discussion
First, read “Blue Ocean Strategy” via the Harvard Business Review (see syllabus) in order to give you a framework for what it takes to think differently and creatively. Then, choose any company, product, or service that you regard as being creative and innovative. Research that company (for example, look at their vision and mission statements, press releases, or articles written about them in the media) and identify the following:
at least 2 tie-ins with the Blue Ocean Strategy case and describe why you think they are related,
at least 2 items or events that led to their creative innovation and why, and
at least 2 factors that differentiate them from their “red ocean” competitors and elaborate on these differences.
The objective of this assignment is to apply what you have learned in the module to the Blue Ocean Strategy Your submission should make this connection clear and demonstrate what you have learned in the module.
