Abstract
This paper describes the shared outlooks and goals of St. Leo University, a Christian institution of higher education, and the APA Code of Ethics. Fist, the paper points out various core values ofSt. Leo's, such as excellence within and outside the University, a value shared by the APA. Next, the paper focuses on the Christian approach to the core values, especially in light of community and how they again are shared by the APA. Other aspects of the APA's code are analyzes and compared to the approach and mission of St. Leo's.
The paper concludes by stating that despite St. Leo's being proudly and uniquely Christian in its orientation, there remain some notable parallels between its values and those of the APA. It is therefore a suitable place for psychologists to receive their professional training.

From the Paper
"Among its core values, St. Leo endorses a distinct excellence of practice that demands all its students to perform to the highest of academic standards. By paying a focus to the inherently interrelated forces of character development, theoretical development, practice refinement and ethical clarification, the university is minded toward a student body that is dedicated and accomplished. Such a standard must also be present outside of the university and in professional application, justifying the core believe that excellence in study will result in excellence of practice."

Abstract
This paper compares and contrasts the ethics codes of the American Counseling Association (ACA) 2005 Draft Code of Ethics, the American Association of Christian Counselors (AACC) Code of Ethics-Y2004 Final Code, and the American Association of Pastoral Counselors (AAPC) Code of Ethics. The paper looks at responsibilities that the counseling associations share, as well as the responsibilities that are unique to each association.

From the Paper
"The first level of comparison between the three ethics codes begins with finding the similarities and differences they display in their duties to clients. There exist several similarities in this regard between them. In terms of obtaining informed consent, the ACA codes of ethics states (A2. a) that clients can choose to either continue or terminate treatment at any time. This would be after the counselor discharges his/her duty in informing the client exactly how the counseling would occur, what the counselor's credentials were, and what rights and responsibilities were enjoined upon both the counselor and client. "

Abstract
The paper analyzes how the respective codes of ethics of the professional counseling organizations; the American Counseling Association (ACA), the American Association of Christian Counselors (AACC), and the American Association of Pastoral Counselors' (AAPC) reflect the differences in the approaches of these organizations to mental health and healing. The paper examines how codes of ethics usually share common core elements outlining the legal and ethical obligations of counseling professionals. The paper further examines how the ethical codes of these three groups differs on some key issues such as counseling methodology and techniques, and the professional's relationship to society.

From the Paper
"Explicit no-harm clauses are included in each ethical code. Fees are discussed overtly, too, with the AAPC and the AACC more explicit in their encouragement of pro bono work. The AACC also encourages sliding-scale work, but all three organizations suggest that counselors be motivated by the desire to assist clients achieve well-being above the desire for remuneration."

Abstract
The current study compares and contrast codes of ethics for the American Counseling Association (ACA) and the American Association of Christian Counselors (AACC) with respect to competence, confidentiality, and fees. Findings of the current study reveal that ACA and AACC guidelines call for boundaries of competence in terms of education, training, credentialing, and experience. The AACC, however, emphasizes the use of Christian counselors as referrals. Both associations ensure confidentiality with respect to limitations on sharing personal information. The AACC places emphasis on not using client information for preaching and related activities. Lastly, both associations stress that fees should be fair and commensurate to the client's ability to pay. The AACC, however, emphasizes the importance of counselors providing pro bono work.

Abstract
The paper compares the ethical statements of two organizations, the American Psychological Association and Saint Leo University, thereby demonstrating how organizations draft ethical statements based on their needs and backgrounds. The paper looks at how both codes share many of the same values, both discuss community and its importance as well as the importance of academic honesty. The paper then highlights their differences in the foundation of their morals and the detail with which the issues are addressed.

From the Paper
"The American Psychological Association's (APA) 2002 ethical principles, which replaced the previous principals, written in 1992, contain guidelines specifying how psychologists are expected to conduct themselves. The principles cover professional standards and expectations having to do with conflicts, fees, registration, and the like, as well as more general ethical and moral matters, having to do with doing good instead of harm and using one's influence in a correct manner. The ethical principals are divided into two major parts: general principals and ethical standards. According to APA, general principals are quite different from ethical standards. While ethical standards are specific, carefully spelled out requirements for professional psychologists, the general principals are meant to encourage psychologists to meet even higher standards than is specified in the ethical standards portion. Thus, they are not used to evaluate psychologists, and the violation of these principals would not necessarily result in consequences for the psychologist. First, the general principals suggest require psychologists to do good, not harm. The principals acknowledges that psychologists are in a position of influence, and must be careful that they do not influence their patients negatively."

Abstract
This paper explains that the United States bankruptcy law is designed with certain protections for individuals and organizations against aggressive or excessive pursuit of debt by creditors. The paper first describes different types of bankruptcy, which are taken to ensure that business bankruptcies are treated with greater flexibility, as defined in chapters 7, 11 and 13 of this code. The paper also discusses the abuses of bankruptcy laws in which Chapter 11 filing is used to allow embezzling executives to abscond with pension plan debts, health insurance plans, stockholder shares, and other debts, as seen in the cases of Enron and Tyco.

From the Paper
"The collateral of one's earnings can help to prevent the aggressive pursuit of debts or the foreclosure on one's home. Much to this point, we can see that in the rash of foreclosures marking the current real estate bubble burst there are a great many individuals whose limited to non-existent income has prevented them from receiving protections against said foreclosure. And as an important point of fact, with the Chapter 7 form of filing which is reserved for those of the most modest means--which should naturally include scores of the Americans who have been disenfranchised during the foreclosure crisis--there is an underlying issue that courts reserve the right to even dismiss without hearing such cases."

Abstract
This paper examines how for the last several years, the recording industry has been battling to stop on-line music-swapping. It looks at how the battle began over Napster and has expanded to take on Napster's descendants. It evaluates how despite the abundance of evidence suggesting that on-line music-swapping actually boosts record sales, the recording industry feels that this practice robs them of potential profits. It looks at how client-to-client file-swapping software already exists and how in many cases it is open source. It shows that shutting down individual sites is only a temporary set-back to the overall music-swapping community, which can quickly move on to another site with the same basic code. It discusses how the battle for control continues because the recording industry continues to attempt to control what it sees as its rightful domain (recorded music) without realizing that it is mistakenly battling for control of the uncontrollable (the advance of technology in general and the internet in specific).

From the Paper
"However, the recording industry quickly found that killing Napster did it precious little good. The time they had spent in court, and the apparent impending demise of Napster had already spawned numerous look-alikes such as AudioGalaxy. The recording industry began to go after those as well. However, not all of them were susceptible to the sort of lawsuits that brought down Napster. Napster had functioned through a centralized server that catalogued the MP3 collections of its users, and then put them in contact with other users who wish to copy something from that collection. However, many of Napster's descendants were either decentralized or less centralized file-swapping programs. Gnutella, for example, does not keep a centralized library, but rather maintains a spiderweb of networks through which a request is sent by individual users to individual users. Programs such as this, which have no centralized "command" and are not affiliated with a single company are almost impossible to sue or shut down."

From the Paper
"The 9-11 hijackers disabled the transponder system. Piedmont still uses the same transponders but there is legislation that will call for the installation of transponders that cannot be disabled. An area that Piedmont has been able to comply has been with training of employees on how to deal with hijackers. Piedmont pilots do not carry personal weapons. They have been trained to use common items on the aircraft as a weapon such as the crash axe. Some pilots do carry items like pepper spray. Air marshals are mostly on high risk Piedmont flights such as Washington, DC and the Toronto legs. The pilots are briefed when an air marshal is on board and if two air marshals are on the flight they need to know the seating location of each other."

Abstract
In the international airline industry, the notion that "bigger is better" has led to industry-wide consolidation via mergers and acquisitions as national barriers to market expansion are diminished. At the same time, there are growing concerns being expressed by consumers and regulatory agencies alike that consolidation of airlines on a global scale may not necessarily be in the best interest of these groups. The airlines may be opening the door to some kind of re-regulation both in the United States and in Europe. This paper examines these matters in the context of an international industry environment that faced difficult times in 1999, when a rise in fuel prices and growing market competition drastically effected the budgets of both domestic and international carriers. An overview of the industry is followed by a discussion of hub systems and their effects, code sharing agreements and strategic alliances, internet ticket sales and related matters.

From the Paper
"In the United States, David Leonhardt (1998) has reported that the government is being pressured by interest groups representing smaller airlines to deregulate route control policies and to open up competition to smaller carriers that are now not able to compete in certain major markets. Five separate airline bills are still pending in the US Congress and the airline industry lobby groups are competing for the votes of key elected officials. As Leonhardt (1998) states, these special interest groups are lobbying elected officials and attempting to influence civil servants at the Department of Transportation who will participate in providing Congress with the information upon which deregulation decisions will be made."

Abstract
This paper examines how, today, airlines have formed global alliances that also allow them benefit from each other's resources, such as additional routes and marketing strategies, as well as code-sharing agreements without incurring the high costs of expansion. It examines the advantages of this by analyzing the alliances, business strategy, and environment of British Airways in relation to other companies such as Ryan Air and Air France.

From the Paper
"With a dominant position at London's Heathrow, Europe's busiest airport, BA enjoys a powerful franchise. But, BA's cost-cutting, downsizing strategy has caused it to lose its leadership position in both the European and global markets. Many believe it may become a take over target when an expected easing of the regulatory environment makes a radical consolidation of the European industry easier. Air France and Lufthansa are now outperforming BA in what could be a long-term battle to be one of Europe's two or three surviving major airlines. Under former CEO Ayling, it did little to draw customers and seemed not to bother promoting economy-class business--as if its position at Heathrow left passengers with few alternatives. BA has suffered particularly from competition on its U.S. routes, where it makes most of its money."
