Each type of proposed renewable energy has its benefits and drawbacks. For example, hydropower has the benefit of relatively consistent results; however, it remains controversial due to its impact on aquatic environments.

For this assignment, select one renewable resource to examine its benefits and drawbacks.

Using this module’s readings, the Argosy University online library resources, and the Internet, respond to the following:

• Describe the sources of this renewable resource.
• Explain how this renewable resource is harnessed for energy.
• Considering that it takes energy to make energy, identify the kind of energy needed to make electrical energy from this resource.
• State the average amount of energy this renewable source produces. For example, on average, how much energy does a single wind turbine produce in a year? Or, how much energy does a dam produce in a year? Or, how many wind turbines would be needed to produce the same amount of energy as the average dam?
• Compare and contrast the benefits and drawbacks of the renewable energy resource.

Since the terrorist attacks against the United States on September 11, 2001, there has been a real push in local law enforcement agencies—especially large ones—to incorporate intelligence-led policing techniques.

A part of that strategy has been the creation of fusion centers in all fifty states intended to facilitate the sharing of police intelligence information between federal, state, and local agencies. Consider the Lambert (2010) article, “Intelligence-Led Policing in a Fusion Center” and the “US Government Accountability Office (GAO) Report on Fusion Centers” in the Webliography.

The creation of fusion centers and their operations have not been without controversy. Many civil libertarians have expressed concern that instead of focusing only on real threats, fusion centers encourage the government’s suspicion toward law-abiding citizens and groups that are suspected of potential hostility toward government.

Tasks:

Write a 2- to 3-page paper. In the paper:

• Take a definitive stand, with explanations, for or against the use of fusion centers as a local law enforcement tool.
• Discuss how these centers may be abused to violate citizen rights.
• Explain the difference between the cooperation that occurs through fusion centers and that through other kinds of multiagency activities, such as task forces and joint investigations.
• Identify and discuss the possible steps or policies to minimize concerns that some have raised about potential abuses.

Feel free to do additional research on the topic of fusion centers, beyond the reading that has been assigned to further improve your paper.

This assignment contains two (2) Sections: Visio Diagram and Design Summary. You must submit both sections as separate files in order to complete this assignment.

After reviewing your database design from Lab 1: Creating a Database Design in Visio, the college has provided more information for the database that they want developed:

• For each student, the college needs to track the student  ID, student names, addresses, start date, phone numbers and types (such as mobile, home, work), email addresses and types (such as personal, school, work), gender, and birth date.
• For each course, the college needs to track the course ID, course name, department, quarters offered, sections, and instructor teaching each course.
• For each instructor, the college needs to track the instructor ID, name, address, phone numbers and types (such as mobile, home, work), email addresses and types (such as personal, school, work), gender, birth date, and the courses that each instructor is qualified to teach.
• Additionally, the college needs to track the final grades for each student after each course has completed.

Section 1: Modified Visio Diagram 

(Microsoft Visio or equivalent)

1.  Use Microsoft Visio (or open source equivalent) in which you:

a.  Modify the database diagram from Lab 1 with the entities and attributes that the scenario identified (i.e., a college tracking students, courses, and instructors).

b.  Create the appropriate relationships between each entity within the diagram.

Section 1 of your assignment must follow these formatting requirements:

• Submit the Visio diagram as a Visio file.

Section 2: Design Summary 

(Microsoft Word or equivalent)

1.  Write a one to two (1-2) page paper in which you:

a.  Discuss the degree to which you believe the Visio diagram reflects the database design.

b.  Describe any assumptions that you had to make about the business rules to in order to create the Visio diagram and the associated relationships.

Section 2 of your assignment must follow these formatting requirements:

• Submit the design summary as a Microsoft Word file.
• Be typed, double spaced, using Times New Roman font (size 12), with one-inch margins on all sides; citations and references must follow APA or school-specific format. Check with your professor for any additional instructions.
