Abstract
In this article, the writer looks at one of the first major successes in rap music-- James Todd Smith, also known as LL Cool J. The writer discusses that his enduring career (now expanded to include a wide range of creative activities) parallels the rise and endurance of rap music itself, a genre that many expected to fade quickly but which has become an important genre in American music.

Abstract
This paper will discuss the story "Cool Like Me" by Donnell Alexander, and seek to understand the methods by which the author argues for within the text. By realizing the different facets of his beliefs, we can see the major ideas that he unravels, while being able to understand his style of writing. The techniques contained within the text will be examined to show how the author used his abilities to tell his version of 'cool.'

Abstract
This paper explains that the likelihood of Luke Cool's receiving damages in this case depends on whether the actions of Super Bikes and La Brute Manufacturing can be described as having been executed using "reasonable care". The author points out that Luke may be entitled to both pecuniary and non-pecuniary damages from La Brute; however, Luke will likely only receive pecuniary damages in his suit against Super Bikes, as in contract law recovery of non-pecuniary damages is very rare. The paper concludes that, given that Luke was extraordinarily negligent in this case by not only continuing to ride the bike knowing it had a dangerous flaw, but also by riding on a difficult path and without a safety helmet, it is likely that his award in this case will be reduced significantly.

From the Paper
"Luke would have no likelihood of successfully suing the employee of Super Bikes who sold him the bike, or the employee who told him to return another day as the part was not in stock, as the law generally distinguishes between those who have a contractual obligation to perform, and those who may due the actual work. While he may sue the employees on the basis of tort of negligence, this is unlikely to be successful due to negligence being defined in the law as failure to show "reasonable care"."

Abstract
The paper discusses how the film "Frida" (2002) was directed by Julie Taymor and was adapted from the biographical research done in "Frida: A Biography of Frida Kahlo" by Hayden Herrera. The paper explains that the importance of the title suggests a more personal understanding of Frida's (Salma Hayek) life that existed not only through her husband Diego Rivera (Alfred Molina), but also through her own suffering as an artist struggling with illness. The paper describes how Taymor takes the experiences of Kahlo's own feminism to realize the deeper and more personal aspects of Frida's life that affected her art.

Abstract
In this paper, King proposes healthy and communicative responses to management strata relationships that were successful within his own experiences. According to the paper, King's view is that the use of dialogues and meetings is a crucial for efficient production, which invariably offers a revolving leadership system through his is symbolic usage of moving chairs. However, more studies should be done to evaluate the real effectiveness of this form of leadership before one should confront the authority of middle and upper management.

From the Paper
J. Timothy King provides an article that is based upon the "moving chairs" of leadership within a small sized corporate atmosphere. The first premise of leadership is many things go unnoticed, especially when communicating a change in management policy. King is often portraying himself in the article as a subordinate that has to work with upper management through a review based initiative that is often erroneous. However, King brings the moving chair element into communicating with his superiors within the review process, which ultimately has him influencing how policy is made within the company. In this manner, King is subjectively redefining the hierarchical role of worker/manager by breaking down barriers through communication and regular meetings. "

Abstract
The paper describes the scenario where Dr. Jack Montrose called 911 after arriving home to find his wife lying dead on the floor, the apparent victim of strangulation during a robbery. The paper goes on to explain why the detective became convinced that Mr. Montrose himself murdered his wife. The paper points out how he applied Newton's law of cooling and the principles of molecular physics. The paper includes instructions to a teacher in the classroom on how to use this scenario in their classroom instruction. Tables are included in the paper.

From the Paper
"At this point in the story ask the class, "Does anyone know why Detective Roman was suddenly convinced that Mr. Montrose murdered his wife?" Write all the answers down on the board without getting explanations and then go back and ask the students why they thought it. Some may figure it out, some may not but it is the thought processes they use, the deductive reasoning and scientific interest that should be highlighted at this time. Then say "OK, let's see what happens in the interrogation room with Detective Roman and Mr. Montrose."
""Well, Mr. Montrose, or can I call you Jack, thought you would get away with it didn't you."
""Get away with what," the agitated widower shouted, "What have you arrested me for you should be out looking for those burglars instead of wasting your time with me. Your own Medical Examiner stated that my wife was killed between 8 and 10 and I was in flight during that time, check with the airline if you don't believe me."
'"Oh I did check and yes you were happily flying the friendly skies of United. And yes, the ME stated that the 120 pound Mrs. Montrose's core body temperature was 96.1 degrees Fahrenheit and in a 78 degree room that puts the time of death at least 3 to 4 hours earlier."
""There you see," said Mr. Montrose triumphantly, "I couldn't have done it.""

Abstract
The paper reviews the need for warm up and cool down exercises to surround an aerobic workout, identifying the potential health hazards if these exercises are not done. The paper itemizes several exercises within a routine that are needed prior to a workout. The paper concludes that a similar routine should be followed for cooling down after a workout, but that the stretches may be more vigorous since the muscles are already warmed up.

From the Paper
"Warm-ups should precede a work out for at least ten minutes. In addition, it is necessary to ensure that the entire body is adequately warmed up, rather than focusing only on the large muscles that athletes most often anticipate using. For example, an athlete should pay special attention to loosening up his neck. Carelessness with neck exercises can be much worse than with other exercises. Therefore, it is important to use smooth and controlled motions on this part of the body at all times and there should be no jerking or bouncing. The exercises are simple, though; they simply involve moving the neck forward and backward, side to side, and turning the head from left to right. Twenty to thirty repetitions of each movement are adequate to warm up."

Abstract
In this article, the writer discusses a trend appearing over the past several decades in the classroom and within the dynamic of teacher and student roles. The writer studies the beliefs of Mark Edmundson and Gloria Watkins, both of whom are of the opinion that teachers certainly need to connect with their students and make classrooms a gratifying experience. However, both also feel that many teachers are confusing education with entertainment in many ways and in order to be popular and affable they are not challenging students to learn and grow. The writer maintains that hence they may have become too cool for the classroom. The writer concludes that in the current era of political correctness and the feeling that children have suddenly become too sensitive to risk challenging, many teachers have taken the popular stance of familiarizing themselves with the new culture of making learning enjoyable, but to the extent that it may not challenge.

From the Paper
"Teacher as the disembodied mind is the same as the role of doling out information for students to absorb, or not. There is often no real interaction in the classroom that sparks the mind of the student to think on his or her own.
"In an article that Edmunson wrote entitled, "How Teachers Can Stop Cheaters," he regards teachers as a primary cause for not making student think, or understand that what they are learning is important to their lives and not just their careers. He cites a rather famous teacher from the past in this regard..."

From the Paper
"In July of 1955 the Atlantic Monthly published a lengthy essay in which the author, Arnold Sundgaard, discusses the position of jazz in the 1950s as both a distinctive art form and a mirror for socio-cultural activity. In his exposition, Sundgaard notes that above all else jazz seems to thrive on endless exploration and ceaseless discovery, that it is at its core the expression of some very enduring opposites: freedom and form, responsibility and surrender, exuberance and pain (Sundgaard). It is not surprising then that at the time of Sundgaard's writing, two of the prevailing popular jazz styles, "cool jazz" and "hard bop", were in many regards opposite by nature. "
