Abstract
The paper explains the concept behind the 3PL framework and uses this triad-based model to evaluate the ethicacy of organizations using personal information for purposes they were entirely unintended for when initially shared. The paper assesses the implications of the 3BL model and also explores the pervasiveness of using social networking-based content. The paper reaches the conclusion that companies must seek to stay in alignment with the intended uses of content on social networking sites and thus alleviate potential lapses in ethical judgment. This paper contains figures.
Outline:
Introduction
Defining the 3PL Model in the Context of Social Networking
Evaluating Interprocess Roles in the 3PL Model and Implications for Social Networking
Proposal for 3BL Framework Alignment with Social Networking
From the Paper
"The economic responsibility areas or as they are often called in the context of the 3BL Model, the economic variables, provide the basis for monetizing the ethicacy of decisions over time (Norman, McDonald, 2004). As has often been discussed in research using the 3BL Model to ascertain the levels of financial contribution adhering to ethical guidelines provides (Stephenson, 2008), theorists have been able to define a causal link of ethicacy to profitability over the long-term as the 3BL Model, in aggregate, significantly reduces risk (Rowe, 2006). In the context then of risk mitigation as it relates to the more judicious and ethically sound use of social networks and the mass of content on them, the economic responsibility area (economic variables) provide one of three benchmarks that define the ethicacy of using social networking content. Economic responsibility within the 3BL model includes the processes companies use to define their unique value propositions (or their differentiation), how efficiency is measured, marketing standards, definitions of competitiveness and the use of marketing metrics, and the measurements used for supply chain performance and pricing. Equally important are the measures of corruption and bribery and their financial implications on any organization (Rowe, 2006). How all these economic responsibility factors define the boundaries of social networking applications' use and the data within them can be defined through a wide spectrum of ethical models, yet the most appropriate given the broadcast nature of every social networking application is utilitarianism."

Abstract
This paper takes a close look at cervical cancer including its causes and symptoms. It also examines the role of Human Papillomavirus in inducing cervical cancer. It then proceeds to study the use of inoculated C57BL/6 murine model to study disease in woman. The treatment is analyzed for its accuracy and efficiency.
From the Paper
"In order to fully understand the genetic link between HPV and high risk for cervical cancer, one must closely examine the mechanism by which HPV induces cervical cancer. HPV is in a class of viruses known as adenoviruses, that is, viruses that invade a host and make some permanent change to the DNA of the infected host cells. In the cases of HPV-16 and HPV-18, the virus produces the oncoproteins E6 and E7, which interact specifically with human cellular components p53 and retinoblastma, respectively. The role of p53 in human cells is to guard DNA repair processes and ensure chromosomal stability, and the degradation of p53 leads directly to mutational changes and ultimately to the immortalization of human cells. The gene controlling transcription of p53 in humans is polymorphic at amino acid 72, containing either a proline or arginine residue at this position (4). The HPV E6 protein degrades p53, thereby inducing cervical cancer. Furthermore, it has been shown that the arginine form of p53 is more easily degraded than the proline form, because E6 can bind more effectively to the arginine form of p53 (6). Consequently, individuals with the arginine variation at amino acid 72 would be much more likely to develop cervical cancer. Because the specific polymorphic combination is conserved between generations, the greater affinity of E6 for p53 would explain the genetic risk factor involved in the progression from HPV infection to full-blown invasive cervical cancer."

Abstract
This paper discusses life's meaning from both work and personal life perspectives, using learnings from the book, "The Present" by Spencer Johnson, career facts and information from the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS), and first-hand information from an interview with a professional accountant specializing in business management. This paper posits that insights from Johnson's book and the personal interview from Ms Dale, as well as supporting details about management accounting, are triangulated to develop the thesis that meaningful life begins by enjoying 'the present,' and that immersion in the present with the help of lessons from the past ensures that the individual will experience a life just as or more meaningful than the present.
From the Paper
"This delicate balance between work and non-work (i.e., personal) identities are especially critical among individuals whose work takes up most of his/her time. Working people talk about aspiring for and/or achieving the 'work-life balance,' wherein one's professional life must not dominate his/her personal life, and vice versa. While this may be considered an important goal for working individuals, more crucial for me is to be able to pursue my desired career path by achieving both professional and personal fulfillment--not necessarily aspiring for and achieving work-life balance, but learning to make these two elements contribute to my development as an individual, holistically.

Abstract
This paper provides a brief description of both sides of the debate over whether an increase in the federal minimum wage is beneficial or detrimental to workers and the economy. The analysis then argues that decades of economic research and proven economic theory demonstrate an increase in the minimum wage does not benefit workers, businesses or the economy because of untintended consequences in the free market.
From the Paper
"The debate over the economic impact of the minimum wage on employees' business and society revolves around certain economic concepts and theories. Chief among these is the debate over whether government intervention is needed in free markets which many believe come to equilibrium only without such interference. The minimum wage debate also incorporates the law of supply and demand. As Bloomberg economist Caroline Baum notes; "The labor market is no different from any other product market. There is a price...""

Abstract
This paper argues that the U.S. government, for more than a quarter of a century, has been basing its claims on fraudulent statistics and data, and in effect, overstating its actual and real inflation. The author states that using the "Quality Adjustment Method" (QAM), the U.S. government has continued to overstate its profits to the taxpayers, including individuals and business firms, in fact, everyone who earns a profit, whether at home or abroad. The paper demonstrates how the Bureau of Labor Statistics distorts data and figures, and instead, names it quality improvement,by using an example from the automobile sector.

Reduced Inflation Used as a Disguise for Attracting Foreign Investment

From the Paper
"One such motive and utility of the QAM is the widespread coverage provided to the more often than not 'destructive' policies of the Federal Reserve Board. As also mentioned above in the preceding paragraphs, the disguised figures for inflation are evidence enough for the virtually bankrupt "post Bretton- Woods floating exchange rate of inflation system" to remain afloat. And, one of the methods used is the printing of billions of dollars in new currency every year, in turn creating a hyper-inflationary spiral economy, even though most of the inflation so created is hidden through such formulas as the QAM, and officially the consumer price index (CPI) may just be 2.1 percent."
