Abstract This paper presents an argument against capping medical malpractice awards. The paper discusses several reasons why capping awards should not be adopted as public policy, contending that capping limits injured patients' access to justice.
From the Paper "Capping medical-malpractice awards should not be adopted as public policy. It would be grossly inappropriate for several reasons. The much-discussed crisis in medical care that doctors and insurers attribute to malpractice litigation is misdirected and can be traced to other causes. The idea that malpractice awards are out of control and are increasing all the time is simply wrong and cannot be sustained by the facts which suggests that attempts to cap award amounts for punitive damages are being made in bad

From the Paper "Some proposed bills were introduced in Congress. Senator Jeff Bingaman (D-NM) introduced S.1572, the Child Health Care Crisis Relief Act of 2007, in order to establish forgiveness of college grants of advisers working in underserved areas. The Senator involved himself with Representatives Patrick Kennedy (Rl-1) and Ileana Ros-Lehtinen (FL-18) who introduced similar legislation in the House or Representatives last May. H.R. 2073 and S.1572 had made sure that America's young generation had enough availability to mental health professionals across the country."

Abstract This paper provides a comparative analysis of the Academy Awards and MTV-MA as award-giving bodies. The paper posits that both award-giving bodies have similarities and differences that arise from the culture, audience, commercial value and socio-political relevance of the movies and processes that each award-giving body undergoes. The paper in general attributes specific segments of American culture as the primary driver that distinguishes the Oscars from the MTV-MA.
From the Paper "These award-giving programs have their own niche and place at the spectrum of American entertainment. The Academy Awards' image differs radically from the MTV Movie Awards, though both programs enjoy popularity and renown not only in the entertainment business, but more specifically because of their influence in American culture. The Academy Awards' (referred to from now on as the Oscars) and MTV-MA's (MTV Movie Awards) importance is based, then, on their relevance to the entertainment business and the general public (as the audience and patrons of the entertainment business)."
Abstract This paper explains that, for more than a decade, scholars and judges of the legal world of international arbitration have been debating if a national court must enforce a foreign arbitral award that has been set aside by the authorities of the country where the award was made. The core issue, the author points out, relates to the identification of the legal order to which the arbitral award, which is being rendered in a given country, is said to belong. The paper presents cases that support showing deference to the judge of the seat and cases that support treating the arbitral award as an international decision. The sources are listed as footnotes instead of in a bibliography.

From the Paper "This is brightly illustrated by a 1999 decision Baker Marine where the Second Circuit declined to enforce two awards made in Lagos, which had been set aside by the Nigerian Federal High Court for various reasons including excess of jurisdiction of the arbitrators and improper award of punitive damages . The US Court of Appeals considered that the parties had chosen Nigerian law to govern both their arbitral proceedings and their substantive rights and that therefore the US public policy on arbitration directed the judges to give effect to the intent of the parties by respecting the outcome of the dispute as decided under Nigerian law."

From the Paper "This is the first of the three distinct groups. There are only a total of nine judges that oversee the entire process of administering the award. They must also help with the selecting examiners, review the scored applications, selecting the organizations to visit, and reviewing the results of the visit (Wadworth, p.109). Once that process is completed, they can select the organization to recommend for the Malcolm Baldrige Award. The judges are involved in the oversight of the entire process, but they do not actually get involved with the process until the many hours of work by the examiners are completed. Then it is left up to the U.S. Secretary of Commerce to make the final decision for the award after further background evaluations of the recommended organizations have been completed."

Abstract This is a nursing proposal suggesting what nurses can do to reduce risk while strongly advocating caps on malpractice awards. The current legislature on malpractice caps and the level of reduced care to patients is discussed. The patients' own inability to afford service, the affordability to practice by physicians and their need to increase patients' costs for services by ordering many more than medically necessary are all covered.
From the Paper "There is a vicious cycle taking place in the world of healthcare that involves patients, attorneys, physicians and healthcare professionals and facilities and insurance companies. Medical malpractice premium rates are forcing doctors and nurse practitioners to order medically unnecessary tests and pad bills or fold their practices. According to the Center for Legal Policy (as cited by Stableford, 2005) "unnecessary medical tests and constant referrals to specialists for second and third opinions costs an unnecessary $60 billion to $100 billion." Law suits continue to climb at an alarming rate with unconscionable awards that are not consistent with something that can be measured tangibly. Attorneys play on the sympathy of juries for neurological deformities of infants that could have naturally occurred genetically, not necessarily as a result of medical error, yet huge awards for punitive damages are awarded."

From the Paper "Some refer to the process of measuring awareness as an information audit (Dobson, 2001). This audit determines where information comes from in an organization, where it goes, how it is used, who manages and shares it and who may process information (Dobson, 2001). An information awareness or audit should be customized to an organization and focus on "awareness, relevance, usability and unmet needs" with respect to business information systems (Dobson, 2001). An organization may also need to assess how information moves within the organization (Dobson, 2001)."
Abstract This paper discusses phonological awareness. It looks at what phonological awareness is, how it is formed, and what to do if deficits are shown. The problems that occur when there are deficits in phonological awareness are also discussed and ideas for intervention are provided.
From the Paper "Since phonological awareness develops over time, children must be given adequate support to enhance the skill that they are learning at a given time. This is not to say that children can only gain knowledge of one aspect of phonological awareness at a time, but only that skills should be fostered as they develop instead of just pushing the child immediately on to the next skill. Phonological awareness should not be expected to adhere to a strict stage theory of development; "children refine phonological awareness skills they have acquired while they are learning new phonological skills" (Anthony & Francis, 2005, p. 256)."

Abstract This paper discusses the ideal of being able to develop awareness of the world around oneself. It goes into detail about the factors that make this awareness possible. It discusses a willingness to subject oneself to new ideals and release internal beliefs about what it means to be conscious or aware. It looks into the need to forgo one's reliance on factual information and instead come to recognize the symbolism apparent in every day activity. Finally, the paper explores how one's own perceptions are biased and often rely on factual or idealized versions of what is real, versus what is perhaps, unreal.
From the Paper "Nabokov (2000) interestingly asserts that "common sense" reveals that we exist and reminds us of our existence, but is only a "brief crack of light between two extremities of darkness." Like Keller he asserts that true consciousness does not arise from mere experiences or perceptions of experiences alone. The author suggests that the collective conscious is often directed by rigid rules of society, and one have but reach out and tap into their own self and identity to awaken their conscious and perhaps begin to capture a glimmer of true awakening. Inner knowledge comes from perception that is not tainted by memory but rather open to new revelations that should not result from reflexive acts but rather new experiences. This is much as Keller would suggest, that mankind could raise his awareness or conscious if only he stopped relying on the obvious and instead takes a moment to explore that which is not obvious or that which is unusual and new."
