Abstract
The paper discusses how Jensen (2003) indicates that 40 million Americans have "chronic sleep disorders" and that by 2010 it is believed that 79 million Americans will suffer from some type of sleep related issues (p. 25). Additionally, Jensen (2003) states that this must be a concern within society because of the negative resulting factors associated with low sleep, including a risk to safety, a risk to health and the ability to function effectively (Jensen, 2003, p. 25). The paper looks at how Jensen (2003) states that for college students there is a high rate of dissatisfaction in sleeping patterns, exceeding 71% (p. 25), and this is in comparison to a 24% dissatisfaction rate in 1978 (Jensen, 2003, p. 25). The paper reveals that on average, modern college students sleep 6 hours or less, as compared to college students in the 70s that slept for 7.5 or more hours (Jensen, 2003, p. 25). The paper also looks at how Jensen (2003) claims that only 6% of college students attending institutions of higher learning have planned periods of sleep (p. 25).

Abstract
This paper looks at the arguments that hiring a college coach to assist in the college application process is not worth the cost involved and that coaches provide an unfair advantage to the students that hire them. The paper then discusses the advantages of coaches, including the fact that they provide students with a clear organization for the future and plan of attack to gain the maximum experience even in high school, they have knowledge of the many colleges and what school will best fit their specific clients, and they can find the best financial arrangement for the parents. The paper therefore concludes that the financial, academic and college benefits that students retain from such a service far outweigh the initial investment this professional service demands.

From the Paper
"The process of completing applications and finding your dream school is often arduous and extremely exhausting. Few people truly know which school is right for them, and even more importantly how to get into that school once you've applied. For many high school seniors the process of completing the application system for colleges is done callously and with very little thought. This is not the right approach into getting into college, if a student truly wants to succeed in finding a place that will fit their personalities and at the same time be financially, academically and socially feasible. This is where college coaches come in. In the Denver community today, many are discussing the merits and drawbacks of hiring a college coach to "train" high school students about the college application process and to find the school of their dreams."

"The Internet impacted vortal evolution by infusing vast numbers of people into the online world, and through its own variations of online communities. ListServs and news groups are standard colleague-to-colleague communication hubs for millions of businesspeople, professionals, and hobbyists. The Web has developed the portal, the vortal's most immediate ancestor. Yahoo pioneered the portal concept, by successively attaching popular Web applications to its basic Web directory, including freemail, travel services, shopping, personal finance data and tools, weather, people and business look-ups, instant messaging, and customization."

Abstract
This paper examines how findings from studies to examine anti-gay violence and harassment on community college campuses indicate that these problems are far more than isolated incidents. It evaluates how the best way to decrease harassment and violence against lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgendered (LGBT) students, it to combat the way college students view these individuals. It proposes the establishment of a network of advisors that LGBT students can turn to when they are victims of harassment or crime. It analyzes the opinion that the best way to foster acceptance of LGBT students is through direct contact which contributes to positive attitudes towards sexual diversity. It evaluates how the goal is to make LGBT students feel safe enough in their educational environment to be able to disclose their sexual orientation so that other students can be aware of their frequent interactions with LGBT students.

From the Paper
"The major risk involved with the LGBT victim's network is that students will still be too afraid of retribution to report incidences of harassment and violence. The goal of the LGBT victim's network is to reduce these fears and to convince them that the best way to stop such behavior from happening again is to report it. It is hoped that the support of a formal network will provide students with the support they need to move forward with their allegations so that justice can be served. And, there's the issue on how to respond if a LGBT victim is further victimized after reporting in incident. There's little that the LGBT can do to stop a perpetrator from causing even more damage. However, the network can help the victim document the incidents in hopes of obtaining a restraining order or dismissal of the individual from the university."

Abstract
The electoral college is a process created by the United States Constitution that provides a systematic manner of electing the president and vice president. This paper examines the modern electoral college, its origins, advantages and disadvantages. The paper also looks at its questionable democracy and plans for modifying the college by adopting new measurements.

From the Paper
"The unit rule also impacts how presidential campaigns are carried out, with large states and their corresponding high numbers of electoral votes taking precedence over smaller states. This results in situations where the President becomes beholden to large battleground states where he or she spends all the time campaigning and making promises. The issues of these contested areas are put onto a national scale of importance, while the problems of one or two specific states cannot possibly be applicable to the nation as a whole. During campaigns, there is also significant attention paid to interest groups who are clustered geographically and thus could represent the margin of victory to take all the electoral votes for a given state."

From the Paper
"Findings such as those observed by Kihara, Kihara, Ohya and Ichikawa (1998) lead to the question of whether prevention efforts in the United States are of benefit to foreign students, especially to students from South Korea. One study that sheds some light on this topic was conducted by Chou, Chin and Rodriquez (1998). In order to measure the effect of HIV 101 workshops on HIV knowledge, condom use self-efficacy, as well as intention to practice safer sex among immigrant and US-born Asians in New York City, the authors conducted a quasi-experimental, pretest-post test design. Subjects in the study consisted of Chinese, Filipino, Indian, Korean, and Japanese workshop 101 participants."
