Abstract
This paper provides an overview of the think tank, Citizens' Committee for Children (CCC), of New York, an organization that conducts research and provides recommendations to city legislators on child health, education, housing, and safety issues. A focus is on its education advocacy as well as issues like funding and outreach programs.

"According to Scribner and Layton, increasing interest in education policy over the past few decades has politicized policy-oriented research in the field. The responsibility of those who shape public policy is to broaden the range of potential responses to issues and deepen society's understanding of itself. As Scribner and Layton assert, "Despite this responsibility, the proliferation of 'think tanks' in recent years illustrates how political resources influence what can be studied and how public opinion can be influenced and manipulated by deliberately slanted research.""

"The objective of this study was to analyze the financial statements and current financial situation of Citadel Communications Corporation (the Company) and its operating subsidiary, Citadel Broadcasting Company (Citadel). The Company is described as a mid-sized market radio broadcaster that, upon completion of pending transactions, will own or operate 138 FM and 61 AM stations concentrated in 42 mid-sized markets (Business Wire, 2000a). Its stations work to establish themselves under brand names such as "The Bull" or "Cat Country" and to popularize their drive-time, on-air personalities (Hoover's Online, 2000).

The Company appears to be in excellent overall financial health, with 199 sales of $178.5 (millions) and a 1-year sales growth rate in 1999 of 31.8 percent. Net income for 1999 was ..."

From the Paper
"The beginning half of the twentieth century was marked in the United States by whirlwinds of change. The country fought the first world war, enjoyed economic unity, was crushed by the Great Depression, and finally started back on the road to recovery all in a matter of three decades. Many political and social movements arose during these times. . . All of these events and many more define the early twentieth century, a time marked by a complex and storied history."

Abstract
This paper explains how the New Deal eliminated earlier concerns and conflicts between safety and productivity. The author states that this article recognizes the roles of the Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC) and the Farm Credit Administration (FCA) in the farmers' investment strategy and that the economic impact of government regulation interfered with market forces in ways that did not always benefit the economy of the country. The paper concludes, in terms of history, that the article shows that the past needs to be taken into account for both its successes and its failures, if things are to move forward in a significant way.

"Clarke makes several points to advance her argument. Firstly, she points out that high sales figures for tractors starting in World War I may be misleading, as they do not focus on the farmers who might potentially have bought tractors and did not. When calculating the relative number of farmers potentially benefiting from purchasing tractors, Clarke finds that fewer farmers in the Corn Belt than expected owned tractors in 1929. This advances the argument that economic factors led to reluctance to invest in new technology during this time. The author further reinforces the point by citing the farmers' tendency to protect assets due to the instability of commodity markets."

From the Paper
"While many programs have been initiated to minimize the spread of cancer, it is a discouraging fact that not many programs have been successful. For instance, in 1985, "The National Cancer Institute" (NCI) launched a number of carefully measured goals to decrease the number of deaths being caused due to cancer by the year 2000. The program failed miserably as it aimed to control cancer only through the viability of declines in cancer related deaths, rather than particulars on the methods and procedures that will lead to this decline (Lawrence Bergner, Katherine M. Marconi, Helen I. Meissner, 1992). Many other programs have been introduced since then, but they too have failed to achieve concrete results. The purpose of this study is neither to highlight those programs nor to give reasons for their failure, rather the purpose of this study is to reveal the best possible program currently being implemented in America, either by the government or by the private sector or both."

"INTRODUCTION

As innovations come out to further the way in which the oral professionals overcome patients problems, it is necessary to look at some of this new technology, and how it is dealt with in scientific journals. One such area in which new advances have occurred is in the area of sealants, the plastic which a dentist bonds into the grooves of the chewing surface of a tooth in order to help prevent tooth decay and cavities. While research findings overwhelmingly document the need to educate the public and increase knowledge and acceptance of oral health care professionals about this caries-preventive technology (Gilpin). By looking at the research and critical comments, as well as clinical evaluations of sealant advances, it is possible to create a useful picture of just how well sealants currently ..."

Abstract
In this paper the author takes a close look at the Coca-Cola Corporation. The author looks at the management and how Douglas Daft came to the helm with his new philosophy of thinking "local", rather than global management. The author examines what has happened to Coca-Cola over the last few years in various countries and how this has effected its reputation. The author them moves on to discuss Coca-Cola's relationship with its bottlers, trade unions and profit margins. Finally the author looks at how Coca-Cola has re-established itself in China, creating a new business model and its wars with competitors.

From the paper:

"Coke's overwhelming success in the U.S. is in large part due to its bottlers. Daft's decentralization strategy reassigns much of the work performed by 29,000 laid-off employees to the "anchor bottlers" (for marketing and sales) and to sub-contractors (for plant and office maintenance) resulting in fewer direct employees worldwide. This strategy allows the company to concentrate its efforts on garnering market share while not having to take responsibility for global industrial relations. The anchor bottlers, Coca-Cola Enterprises and Cola-Cola Amatil, actually have more employees than Coca-Cola Company (CCC). The company relies on them to bottle and distribute the lion?s share of its products."

Abstract
The CRM (Cockpit Resource Management) concept is an outcome of the work of a group of human factors practitioners in the United States in the analysis of, and response to, "crew-caused" air transport crashes and other incidents. This paper presents a discussion of cockpit resource management (CRM). Some years ago, several major airlines implemented official cockpit resource management (CRM) programs. The paper shows that the implementation of these programs was motivated by desires to improve the safety of in-flight operations. Eventually, program objectives were expanded to include the efficient use of resources available to in-flight crews.

From the Paper
"CRM is designed to enhance management practices in the event of emergency. A variation on the CRM concept is the crew resource management approach, which includes in-flight personnel other than those personnel who perform their functions in the cockpit of the aircraft. CRM controls the division of responsibilities during a flight. CRM can be interpreted broadly to include the relationship between the pilot and the machinery as well as among the flight crew members. Although CRM is commonly thought of as coordination between or among multi-pilot crews, in its larger sense it is much more than that activity. CRM encompasses the interpersonal relationship between a pilot and her or his passengers and between a pilot and the air traffic control (ATC) personnel with whom he or she deals. In its broadest sense, CRM refers not only to the interaction between human beings, but also the interaction of a pilot with the technology of the aircraft."

Abstract
The New Deal was Roosevelt's answer to the Great Depression and was aimed at the three R's -- relief, recovery and reform. This paper reviews a selection of legislative laws that represent the three phases of the New Deal and their impact at the time on the economy and government. The paper makes use of historic references and economic theory principles to further clarify the intent of the legislation. In conclusion, it addresses agencies created during that time and points out legislation that is currently in effect today. The paper also explains how the legislation impacted the household through micro economic policies and theories, as well as money and banking.

"On May 12 the Federal Emergency Relief Act, setting up a national relief system, passed and established the Federal Emergency Relief Administration (FERA) which appropriated 500 million dollars for quick relief. This act also created the Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC) with 250,000 immediate jobs for individuals between the age of 18 and 25. Members were supplied with food, shelter, transportation, clothing, medical care, and limited education. Projects undertaken by the CCC were reforestation, road construction, soil erosion, flood control, and development of national parks. Critics to the CCC claimed that this was "make work." By its end in 1941, 22 million persons had worked at over 1500 CCC camps across the United States."
