Michigan law prohibited parties from participating in motor vehicle finance unless they were a either an installment dealer of automobiles or a finance company.
Because the finance company was within the scope of businesses who could participate in a retail sales finance contract for automobiles, and it did so in direct cooperation with its affiliated dealers, it was acting as part of a joint venture in the sale of the automobiles. Therefore, it was one of the entities contemplated as a taxpayer under the Michigan General Sales Tax Act.
Though the statutory language changed after the events in aimler Chrysler, it still encompassed parties participating in any part of the retail transaction. Given that the majority of car sales involve finance companies, it is clear that a finance company would be a foreseeable, perhaps even an expected part of a retail automobile sales contract. Furthermore, the finance contract was certainly within…...

mlaThe search of the phrase ACCOUNTING EDUCATION on Google.com resulted in 2,520,000 hits. The first hit was accountingeductaion.com, which was previously summarized. Another hit was is very similar to the previous link, but not the same one. This site includes information on quarterly CPA exams which the student or CPA can print and complete, and then send to the company for grading. The site also includes information on the products the company offers, contact information, frequently asked questions about their services, an area where the current tests can be downloaded, and an order page where products can be ordered and paid for online. Orders can be completed online, by a toll-free 800 number, by fax, or by mail. The different CPA exams that the company provides are from the Journal of Accountancy, Strategic Finance, and Practical Accountant, and they offer exams for the last nine quarters. The company which operates the web site is located in Greensboro, NC.http://www.accounting-education.com/,which
Another hit is the Henry B. Tippie College of Business at the University of Iowa's accounting program. The site includes information on the program, and a listing of the college board members. There is also a link to a web cast from November 2002, which highlights recent accounting scandals. The home page also contains a short history of the program, and upcoming seminars and events. There are links to the mission of the department, working papers for students and professors, information on the Sidney G. Winter Lecture Series, (which is outdated, it occurred in September 2002), and educational resources which include links to other accounting information and agencies, and a featured question which a professor answers.http://www.biz.uiowa.edu/accounting/outreach/mcglad.html .
These two different searches provided such different results because of the way search engines work. The phrase with quotes around it searched for those two specific words together on the site, while the phrase without quotes simply searched for each word somewhere in the site. Therefore, there were many more results of the single words, rather than the phrase.

In "Language Arts And STS," Teresa Olson, a 6th grade teacher, discusses her approach to integrating language arts instruction with STS themes. She suggests subscribing to newspapers and periodicals for the classroom rather than new textbooks, as well as using a number of free sources available in most communities.
hen she sees an article that is a high-interest STS theme, she designs learning tasks to accompany it that meet a language skill goal targeted for the age group. Olson is quick to point out that this approach does have weaknesses, such as the fact that much of the material cannot be saved for use from year to year. Thus, it requires more work than simply walking through a reading basal series or finding duplicating masters in a teaching store. However, it allows a stronger match to some of the most important factors affecting the development of the reading process. Olson…...

The Roman Republic, it can be said, acted at first as an aristocratical form of governance because it was only the upper class that was allowed to hold public office and that was administrating every decision making. Due to pressures coming from the plebeians who represented the lower-class, concessions were made throughout the years that allowed for the latter to have more influence. However, these liberties were somewhat limited. hat's more, military force, which was unanimously supposed to have worked for the benefit of society, was disrupted by separated affinities with each general having his own army instead of a single one existing. Because of such discontinuities, the Roman Republic started to destabilize itself up to the point of the republic being overcome by a new form of government, the empire.

In the history of humankind there have been very few inventions which have completely transformed human society. Inventions like the wheel, agriculture, astronomy and geometry have all transformed humankind from uncivilized barbarians into a creatures of culture and society. The invention of science, discovery of electricity, the atom, and other inventions have then propelled the human race forward into a more technologically society, one which is primarily an information-based society. As a result of these technological advancements, scientists have been able to create something that has again transformed human society, one which has in a relatively short time, infiltrated every aspect of scholarship, research, business, and life in general. Beginning with the computer, and an idea that many computers could be joined together and their information shared; scientists and researchers have created an interconnected system of personal, business, academic, research, library, and a myriad…...

What are the disadvantages of conducting business, large or small, on the Internet? They may be many. However, the most important disadvantages are: it can actually create a feeling of isolation; the businessman may feel that he has become isolated. This means that he may get the feeling that the World Wide Web is faceless and emotionless, and thus the business too is isolated and inhuman, devoid of contact with the real world and other human beings. After all, humans are social creatures, and such isolation would most often lead to the development of a feeling of depression. Another disadvantage is that since the World Wide Web is such a large area to work in; it encompasses in some cases the entire globe, and there is such a large amount of information generated on the web, it becomes very difficult to…...

According to Jorge Lopez, industry research chief at Gartner, the focus of it has been to cut costs by automating tasks that can be broken down into discrete processes. But it has achieved all it can in that respect and any further improvements would be marginal. The next frontier for it is the non-routine work that lends itself less readily to automation - and here the talk is of 'augmentation': helping people come to decisions more quickly, and helping support any consequent action.
With knowledge workers, such as managers, who deal with non-routine kinds of work, the idea of productivity is different. As (management guru Peter) Drucker pointed out, you don't pay them by the hour but by results,' says Lopez.…...

Proper defenses, enhanced offensive capabilities and strategies to reduce risk by taking some sensitive data offline will all work to deliver better results in e-spionage of the United States. The Internet has become globalized, and nothing can take that back. That there are threats as the result of globalization is nothing new -- it is simply another arena for age-old international political traditions. How we manage the threats and take advantage of the opportunities is the most important aspect to this problem -- and this means proper isolating and neutralizing of viral threats. By addressing the issue of e-spionage effectively, the Internet can still be viewed as a net benefit for the United States.
