Abstract
The purpose of this paper is to examine a single day's exposure to media and news, to determine if the information contained in a particular story has been disseminated and how it has been disseminated to others. The paper discusses the story itself, theories on media, and the dissemination of information. It concludes that subjective opinions and a lack of common guidelines for disseminating information prevent most people from becoming involved in the vast majority of news stories.

Abstract
This paper examines how state control over the dissemination of information in Soviet Russia was almost total, at least until the mid-1980s, and not only because of literal state control. It looks at how, before Gorbachev, when glasnost, or openness, began, journalists were educated in Marxist-Leninist theories and the current Communist Party policies and how, even after the loosening of government censorship in the 1980s, there were more pressures than just the Soviet censor keeping some of the news from being printed.

From the Paper
"In 1987, a Pravda editor told the ASNE delegation, "We once did not write about such things as crime or earthquakes, but now we have no taboos." Perhaps he should more accurately have said that they no longer had those official taboos. In Samarkand that year, the ASNE delegation found the local newspaper Lenin's Path under fire for publishing an article about suicide among young Muslim women. The editor, Boris Shegolikhin, said that while the story had not been censored "after all, by then even Pravda was writing about the sale of stale bread in city bakeries and the pitiful performance of the city's streetcars" but it had been criticized by readers who were displeased."

Abstract
This paper examines the ongoing and evolving process of selling and disseminating music through the Internet. The author discusses how such activity has provoked a number of economic as well as artistic debates for the music business and for the computer and technology businesses that allow such technology to be accessed. This paper particularly focuses on the anti-trust issues that have arisen over the course of this debate.

From the Paper
"First of all, the issue of disseminating music over the Internet provokes the perplexing question of who really "owns" the commercial product of a pieces of music, anyway? Is the owner the person or persons who simply hear the tune and keep humming it? Is the owner the musician who produces the product? Or are the owners the music companies musicians have signed artistic rights to? Clearly, to survive musicians must be able to charge for the product they produce, and the companies have control over the specifics of how to market that product. But once a song is in the public sphere, do not consumers have a right to "pass on" that music product in ways that they see fit, even if those ways may inhibit the sales of recordings of that music?"

Abstract
The paper reveals that the population of African immigrants in the United States is small in comparison with other immigrant populations, and therefore, their health care concerns are not in the forefront of the minds of health care workers, government entities or society. However, the paper argues that the health care concerns of this population are significant because often times they are derived from their past experiences connected to health care in their country of origin. The paper describes how African immigrants that come to the United States have little understanding of health care through their cultural associations and no comprehension of the American health care system in general.

From the Paper
"Takyi (2002) states that the population of African immigrants in the United States is small in comparison with other immigrant populations (p. 32). This causes a problem for these immigrants because their health care concerns are not in the forefront of the minds of health care workers, government entities or society. However, the health care concerns of this population are significant because often times they are derived from their past experiences connected to health care in their country of origin..."

British Government Admits Mad Cow Disease Exists (1987)

From the Paper
"Where the industry has gone wrong is in listening to the PR people. The mad-cow epidemic is not an information management issue?it is a disease that will not go away.? These words are from an interview with Dr. Pringle, a member of the Sperling Biomedical Foundation, and the founder of www.mad-cow.org. I believe that they highlight what has been fundamentally wrong about the treatment of mad-cow disease by the British government and the British media. Several grave errors have been made about the treatment of this issue, and they continue to have repercussions today, as we explore America's mad-cow incidents, and rising problems in Europe, Asia, and South America. At the time this paper was written, mad cow disease had been confirmed in domestic cattle in Belgium, France, Ireland, Liechtenstein, Luxembourg, the Netherlands, Portugal, Switzerland, Spain and Germany."

"As the personal computer has become more widely available in the last decade, computer art has made great strides. The effect of computers in the art world has been and continues to be very profound. The computer has radically changed the way that art is produced and disseminated. A controversy has arisen over whether computer-generated art or computer-assisted art is true art. Computer-generated and computer-assisted art works are true art. The computer is just another tool at the disposal of the artist. The use of the computer as a tool or medium is the choice of each individual artist working in the realm of visual arts. The time-honored art practices of putting pigment on canvas with a brush, cutting images into copper plate with a burin, and welding, whittling, and forcing materials into shape to form three-dimensional forms will not be completely replaced.."

"Everyone knows that television advertising is designed to persuade the viewer to buy a given product. We are also all aware that television ads are, therefore, not likely to tell us the whole truth about the product in question. What many of us may not be aware of, however, are the increasingly sophisticated techniques with which advertisers now manipulate the television audience, and the extent to which advertisers are allowed to present misleading or unfounded product information. Deception by television advertisers and their manipulation of viewers' fears, desires, and even values are the topics which will be examined in depth in this paper.
In this age of deregulation, when broadcasters are free to bombard the audience with as many commercials as it will tolerate ("Caveat" 48), it is not surprising that advertisers can get away (...)"

Abstract
The procedure manual for blood product transfusions disseminated by the Montefiore Medical Center is largely based on the policies and procedures set forth by the American Association of Blood Banks. While most of its procedures are universal in the sense that all hospitals carry out similar practices as stipulated by standardizing and accreditation institutions, variations in specific procedures are still present. The evidence base for the specific practices cited above is broad and must be evaluated periodically in-hospital to generate more appropriate, "local" evidence that further justifies their continued practice.

Abstract
The paper relates that the Grand Tour was the term used first to describe a tour of the culture and antiquities of the Mediterranean region, and as Barry Bergdoll notes, this tour was also one of the major means of disseminating Neoclassical taste, especially among the English. The paper looks at how with reference specifically to architect Giovanni Piranesi, Bergdoll writes that Piranesi's style "transformed perception of the ruined remains of the Roman, Etruscan, and eventually even Greek past for several generations of artists, architects, and clients" (Bergdoll 15). The paper explains that Neoclassicism refers to a style in which forms and details from Greek and Roman architecture were revived in a new form.
