Abstract This paper reviews the issues relating to teen suicide from both a statistical and causal viewpoint. Statistics focus on the national level as well as state and local levels for Idaho and Pocatello, respectively. The paper also recommends nursing intervention along the way through the development and implementation of appropriate programs and provides evaluation methods as well.
From the Paper "Suicide is one of the leading causes of death among American teens (Jenson, 2005; "Idaho fact," (n.d.); Bloch, 1999). It has been reported that between 15 - 22% of teens are affected by at least one form of mental illness (Puskar, Lamb & Tusaie-Mumford, 1997). In Idaho, the teen suicide rate is 135% of that for the rest of the nation ("Idaho suicide," (n.d). Suicide attempts are more common among females, averaging 60-63%, however suicide is actually carried out at a higher rate among males at a 4:1 ratio ("Idaho suicide," (n.d.); Leehey, 1986 and McCall & Land, 1994 as cited by Bloch, 1999). According to Bloch (1999), between 1950 and 1999, the rate of teen suicide has tripled. In 2000, the estimated costs experienced in Idaho due to suicide in those under 25 resulted in $3.77 million in direct costs and over $81 billion in anticipated lost earnings."
Abstract This paper discusses how current law in Idaho is reflective of considerable change, especially with regard to rape statues. The paper specifically discusses common law and how it is based upon regional considerations and is largely determined by the development of precedence in the historical legal system. The paper looks at how this relates to rape statutes and how it is changing over time.
From the Paper "Though Idaho is no longer considered a "common-law" state with regard to domestic situations, i.e. regarding the determination of marital status and on other issues it is legitimately still very demonstrative of common law history, a fact that can be attested to by the ability of a single do-gooder to choose to enforce a law that was previously ignored. Other issues, such as common property, among domestic partners, are a later adoption of a common law practice, in Idaho. For the most part it makes sense that legal situations in low population areas could and possibly still should be decided by legal prescience as well as the foundations of common law, in which lies the desire to create and enforce laws that are reflective of the common people and their beliefs and standards at any given time. Changes to the Idaho statute on Rape could include more specific sentencing regulations, a trend associated with a national movement for minimum mandatory sentencing, but many would argue against such action."
From the Paper "The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints (Mormons) was severely persecuted in its early days in the eastern and midwestern United States. The heart of the Mormon Church's response to persecution was to form communities in which its members could freely practice their religion and create the kind of social, cultural, economic and political climate they desired. The Mormons were looking for a place where they could build a kingdom of God on earth. It was in the drive to find and create that place that "the Mormons became a genuine people, a covenant folk like ancient Israel with a shared history and at last a homeland" (Mulder, quoted in Meinig, 1965, p. 197). The Mormon mission was carried out in the Western United States with far greater success than most other recent religions have achieved. Here they established what cultural geographers call a distinct..."
Abstract This paper discusses how murder has been considered a crime since the beginning of written law and how, through the years, common laws regarding murder have been adapted according to the needs of society and state. It examines the history of elements of murder under historical common law, with a focus on current statutes for murder in the state of Idaho. Further, it compares the elements of each, and discusses possible reasons for differences and similarities. Finally, the paper suggests new changes to current laws that may be needed due to current societal needs.
From the Paper "Further statutes show even more divergence from common law. IC 18-4003 clearly lays out all forms of murder that qualify for first-degree. Remember that, in common law, first degree murder required only premeditation. This statute is very clear, and does not solely include the premeditation portion of common law elements. In IC 18-4003, any murder perpetrated by poison, torture, or lying in wait, or any murder that is deliberate and premeditated is classified as first-degree. However, the statute also includes any murder of a police officer, by a person previously convicted of murder, committed during the commission of another felony, committed while incarcerated, or committed while attempting to escape a penal institution (IC 18-4003)."
Abstract This paper is a proposal for a community based prevention program to combat the use of drugs amongst high school athletes in Boise High School, Idaho. The author includes risk factors of teenagers who might be susceptible to drug use and explains how family and community support can help deter drug use. The paper maps out and explains the program proposal, the target group and how the program is to be administered. The author also includes an estimation of costs.

From the Paper "Risk factors include: a difficult home life, where there is for example constant discord between parents, or between the parents and children; parents and family members who use drugs; friends who use drugs; and the availability of drugs. Other risk factors could include individual emotional problems such as depression and a feeling of unworthiness, as well as less than average school performance. These factors are mitigated by perceived talents in sports, and hence the drive to perform better. This drive further strengthens the propensity towards using drugs."
Abstract This paper explains that the northwestern states of Oregon, Idaho and Washington were highly dependent on their natural resources for economic survival; however, old industries are no longer supporting the growing population and new clean industries, especially those which involve high technology, must be lured to these states. The author points out that Washington already has become a wealthier state having Microsoft as one of its major corporations; Oregon is attempting to attract similar industries and may be quite successful because it is creating a statewide Intranet structure, which will support this type of industry, but Idaho does not have the well-developed urban centers or the nationally recognized educational facilities of either Washington or Oregon. The paper summarizes that to attract high tech business, less industrial states must be concerned with (1) the quality of their education including the university level, (2) must work with high tech industries to create a positive business climate and (3) be willing to continually update state-wide Internets, both hardware and software.

Conclusion
From the Paper "However, in order too achieve its goals, the INEEL must address two essential issues. First, it must close the gap between the amount of money provided by the Department of Energy for environmental cleanup and the cost of meeting current regulatory requirements. Second, the INEEL must undergo a successful revitalization effort. Laboratory revitalization includes making sure the INEEL has the right people with the right technical skills to do the jobs assigned. It also includes improving the quality of laboratory science and making sure appropriate investments are made in facilities and equipment."

Abstract The paper analyzes the book "Housekeeping" by Marilynne Robinson, set in Idaho during the mid 1900s. It is not only a study of a women, the times and loss, but also highlights some of the beautiful natural areas where the novel is set, on the shores of Fingerbone Lake. It discusses how the two sisters Ruth and Lucille begin to be distinguished from each other somewhere in the middle of the book and identifies the point at which this differentiation occurs. The paper also describes the differences in personality and behavior that emerges between them and explains how we as readers, are supposed to interpret these differences.
From the Paper "Lucille leaves the family to live with the "sensible" home economics teacher, while Ruth stays with Sylvie, a woman least known for her housekeeping, but always known for her itch to travel. Here the reader really begins to take sides, just as Robinson was intending. Lucille is "taken over" by the other side, the side that does not approve of lifestyles like Sylvie's, and the two sisters are now on opposite sides of the fence, and so is the reader. Lucille becomes less and less appealing, and less important in the book, and in the reader's mind, but not completely. "Robinson plays the perfect mother, refusing to abandon Lucille, and her departure remains a real loss for the characters of the novel, who forgive and regret and search" "

This essay covers a vast amount of information on William Shakespeare and his plays. This paper explores the ways that Shakespeare's drama has evolved and transformed over time.
Abstract This essay is about William Shakespeare and the ways in which his art has changed and evolved with time. This essay covers many of Shakespeare's plays and many modern film adaptations of his plays. The paper discusses much of the history behind Shakespeare's works and the many sources from which his drama was derived. The essay also deals with Shakespeare's language and the aspects of his invented language that have become a part of our everyday vocabulary. It covers the many characters, plots and genres of Shakespeare's works. The main theme of the paper is centered around the ways modern history has invented a Shakespeare of its very own.
From the Paper "Who is Shakespeare? What is Shakespeare? Nearly four hundred years following his death, the Shakespearean debate trudges on. In his lifetime, William Shakespeare wrote a phenomenal cannon of dramatic literature. He managed to create an astounding thirty-seven plays in scarcely the span of twenty-five years. Individually, these plays constitute some of the best art ever written. Collectively, these works secure Shakespeare as the principle literary draftsman of the Elizabethan Age. In his dedication to William Shakespeare in 1623, Ben Johnson wrote: ?He was not of an age, but for all time.? To this day, Shakespeare's creative genius has yet to be exceeded. No writer in any language can rival the eminence and immortal perpetuity that Shakespeare has relished. And no man, in any creative enterprise, has ever impelled a cultural influence as ample or as profound. Shakespeare's language and extensive lexicon of coined phrases are more ubiquitous in trite conversation today than the myriad of cliched aphorisms present in the King James Bible. His hundreds of characters-the very mirrors of human nature-are equally as recognizable. From small amusements like Bottom the Weaver, to such unparalleled manifestations as Falstaff, Shakespeare has enriched civilization by mimicking it."
Abstract This paper gives a brief history of Hemingway's life, provides background information on Hemingway's family, including those members who also committed suicide, and looks at the type of treatment Hemingway received when he finally sought help for his depression. The paper concludes with an analysis of the types of depression from which Hemingway possibly suffered.
From the Paper "Of all the American writers that have suffered from some form of mental disorder, such as F. Scott Fitzgerald, Eugene O?Neill and William Faulkner, novelist Ernest Hemingway and his life-long struggle with depression appears to be the most studied and discussed by psychologist and literary scholars. Although depression played a major role in his early life and well into adulthood, it was not until his final years that Hemingway decided to get professional treatment for his disorder."
Abstract This paper discusses some background of the Japanese internment of World War II and the impact that the internment had on the American-Japanese population as well as the Japanese nation as a whole. The paper puts particular emphasis on the internees of the Minidoka Camp of South Central Idaho.
From the Paper "To fully understand the relocation of Japanese Americans one must understand how these people first came to this foreign land, and how later as they prospered, they came to be the recipients of racial prejudice from their white neighbors. The Japanese first came to America seeking their fortunes. Many worked as itinerate laborers with Californian fruit and Hawaiian sugar cane. As they continued to live in their new land, however, they eventually became businessmen, fishermen, and farmers themselves. In fact, by 1940 the Japanese Americans, despite discriminatory laws, owned 4% of the farmland in California. In 1920, twenty years earlier, they had already brought in 10% of California's agricultural production. "
Abstract In this article, the writer discusses that both the novel "Housekeeping" by Marilynn Robinson and the play "Blues for Mister Charlie" by James Baldwin deal with coming of age identity, conflicts amongst marginalized peoples and long-simmering community conflicts that come to a boil after the homecoming of one of the protagonists. The writer describes how Robinson's text is framed around the coming of age of young women growing up in rural Idaho in the mid-1900s. The girls experience a crisis of feminine identity after they are deprived of their mother, who commits suicide at the beginning of the book. The writer also looks at "Blues for Mister Charlie", that deals with the Black experience of isolation in America. The play centers on the difficulty of young Black people, men and women, who must force their lives and souls to conform to the norms of the White 'Mister Charlie.'
From the Paper "For Black women, however, Baldwin has slightly less concern in terms of how the norms of their identities are formulated, even though women have a powerful stage presence over the course of the play. Thus Baldwin tends to reduce the importance of the Black female experience of marginalization in America for the Black community as a whole. It is how Black men formulate their new identities within oppressive structures that the author claims as his play's main concern. Continually, "Blues for Mister Charlie" stresses the commonality of all Black oppression and the investiture Black men and women have in creating a positive Black masculine ideal.
The play was written in response to the Emmett Till lynching of real life, a lynching spawned by a Northern Black youngster whistling at a White Southern women. Finding a way to create Black male sexuality in a way that is empowering, and will not bring the wrath of society down upon its head is Baldwin's concern."
Abstract The writer of this article notes that in designing or redesigning organizational culture it is important to bear in mind three aspects. The writer explains that these aspects are the organization environment, the organization technology and the human resources of the organization. The writer discusses that in the case of FMC Green River, as far as the environment is concerned, there is a large underground mine, 2 large older plants and 3 new smaller plants in construction. The writer maintains that all operations depend on the abundant coal and natural gas in the Wyoming, Utah and Idaho Basin.

Abstract The reinforcement of a heterosexual paradigm dominant in the first gay films was very much criticised by the media. This criticism failed to recognise that 'Dona Herlinda and Her Son' and 'The Wedding Banquet' are movies situated within the realms of heterosexual norms, but movies such as Gus van Sant's 'My Own Private Idaho' and Jonathan Demme's 'Philadelphia' were radically changing queer filmic representation.
From the Paper "Critics are quick to attack the reinforcement of a heterosexual paradigm dominant in early queer films. However, this judgment forgets that while more mainstream films, such as 'Dona Herlinda and Her Son' and 'The Wedding Banquet', were situated within heterosexual norms, a new queer cinema was slowly but surely radically changing queer filmic representation. The success of Gus van Sant's 'My Own Private Idaho' and Jonathan Demme's 'Philadelphia' could be in part attributed to simultaneous comic representations of queer struggles. So, while American culture was preoccupied with a single queer struggle, the AIDS crisis, other cultures explored the impact of homosexuality on the family unit and on reproduction in particular."

Outlook
From the Paper "As settlers began making Coeur D'Alene home during the 1800's, whites were the predominant race. After the discovery of gold and silver, immigrants of Irish, German, and Swedish decent settled the surrounding communities of towns such as; Coeur D'Alene, Kellogg, Wallace, and St. Maries. The mining industry flourished and along with mining, logging and ranching became trades of the settlers also. Currently, these communities are holding onto tradition, but transitioning into resort communities with a firm grip on the future for growth by providing business opportunity for industry to relocate to the 'Right to Work' state. In doing so, it's provided opportunity for building contractors in the construction trade to relocate to the pristine communities of North Idaho to seek their fortune, as Miners did in the 1800's. During this community's transition from the historical past to the future in terms of industry, we are facing substantial growth."
