Abstract
In this article, the writer notes that an emergency action plan is a written document required by certain Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) standards. The writer notes that there are several parts to a well-developed and OSHA-compliant emergency action plan. The writer points out that an employer must have a method by which to alert both employees and the proper authorities of the emergency at hand. The writer looks at elements required by OSHA for such plans. The writer then discusses the emergency action plan's implementation and evaluation.

Evaluating the Plan

From the Paper
"Businesses must also have evacuation procedures and emergency escape route assignments in place in order to be OHSA compliant. Employees must understand who is authorized to order an evacuation and under what conditions an evacuation would be necessary. They must also know how to evacuate and which routes to take; although they are not required, exit diagrams are traditionally used to identify the escape routes that employees are to follow. Sometimes an important decision must be made when planning, such as whether or not employees should attempt to put out a small fire or leave it alone and evacuate. Evacuation procedures also often describe actions employees should take before evacuating, such as turning out lights and shutting windows. The inclusion of such details is up to the person in charge of designing a company's emergency action plan, but is not required by federal regulations."

From the Paper
"Professional action plans are a way of focusing on career development methods along with strategic career development goals. Many individuals give considerable thought to developing professional goals, however, unless they are clearly written, they are soon forgotten. Connolly (1998) states that the top three percent of this country's wealth can be traced to those who document their goals and strategies in writing, otherwise "they are just a dream.""
"This paper outlines a three-year action plan related to career development for the health care administration field, emphasizing formal and informal continuing education opportunities and strategic development related to short and longer term professional goals. For purposes of this paper, short term goals and associated action plan reflect those within the first 12 month period, whereas long-term goals are reflective of those goals and associated action plans for the two and three year period."

Abstract
The paper examines the industry in which NatureView Farms operates and then analyzes NatureView's strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats. The paper discusses three potential options for the company and points out their risks and benefits. The paper selects the first option and details an action plan for the company to follow.

Outline:
Problem
SWOT and Industry
Analysis of Alternatives
Action Plan

From the Paper
"The industry in which NatureView Farms operates is generally favorable. Supplier power is relatively low. NatureView's position in the organic yoghurt market gives them a good position for bargaining with producers of organic milk and other key food inputs. Buyer power, however, is moderate to high, with the moderate component (natural food stores) trending towards high as the major natural foods stores grow in size. Supermarkets in particular have high buyer power. There are moderate barriers to entry. There is room for larger players, especially established dairy firms, to enter the market. The main barrier is with respect to the established relationships that firms like NatureView have with suppliers of organic milk, the key input. The threat of substitution is moderate to high. In supermarkets, this threat is high since consumers tend to be more price sensitive. Price elasticity is lower among natural store consumers, such that the threat of substitution is lower. The degree of rivalry is low at present. There are low switching costs, but relatively few competitors in the organic segment, which is also growing more rapidly. The degree of rivalry in supermarkets is higher. Put together, the industry is favorable, although the supermarket industry is less favorable than the natural store industry."

Abstract
This paper presents a proactive community action plan toward prevention of diabetes. First, the paper gives an extensive description of the disease, highlighting the differences between type I diabetes and type II. Next, the author discusses the factors that contribute to adults and children developing diabetes and how this can be prevented. Obesity, in particular, is considered. The paper concludes by analyzing a community action plan for preventing diabetes and how different communities within a specific county adapted it.

From the Paper
"However, in Type II Diabetes, the body does not produce enough insulin or the cells ignore the insulin produced by the body. Once, Type I Diabetes was called juvenile diabetes because Type II usually occurred in older, sedentary, and overweight adults. Sadly, because of the increased rates of obesity in America, younger and younger children are being diagnosed with what was once called adult-onset diabetes. "Children today may be the first generation in America that have shorter life expectancies than their parents" if current trends in childhood weight gain and physical inactivity continue, and one of the primary reasons for this shortened expected lifespan is the epidemic of Type II Diabetes (Livingston 2004: 2). The risks of diabetes include long term damage to the sufferer's eyes, kidneys, nerves or heart ("Type II Diabetes," ADA, 2007). "

Understanding the processes by which nurses administer medication is seen by many including Tang Sheu Yu Wei and Chen as critical to the minimization of medication errors and to enhancing the health and well-being of patients, while also contributing to knowledge regarding the impact of medications in terms of their positive and negative effects. The focus of this personal action plan is therefore on administering medicines..."

Abstract
This paper addresses the issue that Canada's Aboriginal communities have distinct political, economic, social, and health related concerns. For the most part, the imposition of a non-Aboriginal system; i.e., one that has been designed for individuals with inherently different needs, is widely viewed as highly inappropriate, and historically ineffective and damaging. The federal government is making efforts to patch up this string of misfortunes in its Aboriginal Action Plan.

Abstract
The paper describes the setting of the Mount Baker Junior High School and the problem of the school's low achievement in math standards. The paper explains the problem of students' lack of basic skills which forces teachers to remediate students' skills in math while at the same time, introducing seventh and eighth grade content. The paper then explores the literature, considers action plans to improve the math achievement of seventh and eighth grade students and looks at how the improvement plan will be evaluated.

Summary and Conclusions

From the Paper
"MB Junior High School serves students from a rural wilderness community who are in seventh and eighth grades. It is the only school in its district serving these grades, and is considered a high poverty school by federal definition. The students at MB include those whose parents are educated and successful. These students spend time in structured sports, music and other outside activities including taking full advantage of the many tourist activities in the area as well as trips to Seattle for cultural events. A greater part of the student body consists of students whose parents are unemployed or work in service, logging, and agriculture industries. A total of 56.3% of the student body receives a free or reduced price lunch."
