Abstract
This paper explains the effects of hot environments on the body and how the body attempts to regulate its internal temperature. The paper also describes what factors affect a body's ability to regulate its temperature and what measures can be taken to enhance a person's athletic performance in hot environments. Studies are cited to help illustrate these measures, and the dangers of performing in hot environments when ill-prepared are discussed. Finally, the paper applies the information from the studies to the typical training regimen of soccer players and makes suggestions for improving the regimen.

From the Paper
"Every year more than 300 people die of heat-related illnesses and many others require medical attention, according to a CDC report. Often those who experience exertional heat illness are athletes who are taking part in physical activity in a warm or hot environment, who might benefit from early on-site identification of their condition and timely, appropriate treatment. Noting that many cases of heat illness are preventable and others can be treated, the National Athletic Trainers' Association (NATA) recently issued a new consensus statement from the Inter-Association Task Force on Exertional Heat Illnesses that features guidelines for effective prevention and management. (NATA 2003)."

From the Paper
"The association of mental health and juvenile delinquency is a delicate and essential one. The case of the 6 year old boy charged with murder and burglary after beating one month old baby was suspended after the statement of the boy's suffering from "cognitive disabilities".
Ever since this incident the approach to mental health issues is being greatly formalized in the Juvenile Justice System. Information that has recently been collected also points to the mental dysfunctionalities of children who are frequently tried as adults in offences, "Available evidence suggests that more than 70 percent of the children in the juvenile justice system have a mental health disorder and approximately 20 percent have a serious mental illness."

From the Paper
"At present, the current structure of the PC market is a market structure closer to one of perfect competition, with a very buyer rather than seller friendly focus. Many buyers and sellers and a high level of price volatility characterize the PC industry. However, no market is a textbook definition of any market structure. Although there are many products in the PC industry, they are not all exactly similar in nature and with many substitutes, and there are higher barriers to industry entry than in other competitive market structures-thus this state of perfect competition is somewhat limited. (Investopedia, 2005) But overall, Forbes Magazine has said the PC market growth will moderate in 2005 due to a lack of significant new product introductions in a too-competitive marketplace. ("Market Share," 2005)"

Conclusion
From the Paper
"In 1984 Michael Dell was a college student pursuing a degree in medicine. He also happened to have a hobby of building computers. He decided to sell the product of his hobby, and began the business in his dorm room (Entrepreneurship, 2005). Business quickly took off, and he soon abandoned his dreams of practicing medicine to develop Dell Computers. From these humble beginnings the company rapidly grew to be a major competitor in the personal computer market. Dell's focus on efficiency of manufacturing, and a direct marketing approach, allowed him to continue gaining ground on the competition. In 1992, his company joined the Fortune 500 list as one of the largest companies in the world. In 1993 their growth placed them in the top five computer system manufacturers."

Abstract
This paper discusses the Brazilian economy, considered the 10th largest in the world, claiming it to be attractive to many foreign investors for a variety of reasons, including the relatively large consumer base. The paper describes how fluctuations in the economy and the rise and fall of currency have prevented many big businesses from investing in Brazil. The paper contends, however, that careful attention to business and economic trends, as well as the rules and regulations that govern business operations in Brazil, can ensure the success of even marginally lucrative endeavors.
From the Paper
"There are several different political parties that dominate the Brazilian landscape including: Brazilian Democratic Movement Party, Liberal Front Party, Progressive Renewal Party, Brazilian Social Democracy Party and the Liberal party to name a few (Lomheim, 2004). Corrupt politicians and lack of support for a predominately military rule has led to a decline in public support for political parties in the last decade, as well as the existence of more than 30 political parties overall in the nation (Lomheim, 2004). A majority of the economic and business activity that occurs within Brazil is concentrated in southeastern states including those of So Paulo, Rio de Janeiro and Minas Gerais (Kullman, 2004). The primary areas of business and manufacturing include (but are not limited to): automobile manufacturing, steel, petrochemicals, computers and aviation (Kullman, 2004). There are many manufacturing cities located in the Northern region of Brazil though generally this area is less populated than other."

Abstract
This paper explains that the Articles of Confederation allowed states the ability to create their own laws and govern citizens prior to the ratification of the constitution. The paper also discusses the weakness of such a system, pointing out that under it federal authority was very weak and failed to unify the states, regulate taxation or control commerce. In the years previous to the ratification of the US Constitution, the country was experiencing rebellion and the growing tensions and unrest in the states was creating a sense that the nation would experience destruction if action were not taken. The paper further explains that because of these conditions, the concept of altering the framework for the nation was proposed and supported by federalists who were all of the wealthiest Americans. These individuals contended that there had to be strong federal government that would serve as a universal body over the states and control how the nation functioned economically, militarily and through law.

Abstract
This paper examines how the success of the liberalization thesis depends upon the enforcement of stability and control and how strengthening both institutions and regulation is important to the development of a robust securities market. It looks at the current liberalization and globalization methodology set down in the liberalization thesis and the Washington Consensus. It also investigates the neglected pre-conditions for successful liberalization.
From the Paper
"The development of strong securities markets is of great assistance to successful financial liberalization. A strong stock market provides capital which requires no repayment thus lowering a firms? cost of capital. Such equity financing alleviates the illiquidity and repression prevalent in many liberalizing countries- for example; Switzerland had a 1997 market capitalization and repression index of 226.0 and 84.2 respectively, compared to Armenia's scores of 1.0 and 48.1 . Of further importance is the implementation of accountability and value creation- when coupled with the removal of government directed lending, firms become accountable to stock holders for capital; enforcing value creation and the productive use of capital."
