Abstract
This paper discusses how the book "The Black Jacobins", by C. L. R. James, is an not only account of the Haitian Revolution, it is a close and personal account of the only slave revolt that ultimately resulted in the founding of a black republic in the heart of the Caribbean. By closely relating the French Revolution with the Haitian Revolution, roughly from 1791 to 1803, it looks at how James is able to show the reader how the two events effected each other. It shows how James examines the struggle for independence while providing an intimate look at those involved, especially the slaves. James offers a perspective of black history that empowers black people, illustrating how they responded to and overcame slavery, especially under the leadership of Toussaint L'Ouverture.

From the Paper
"Class structure was important to James, as he believed it was based more on economic needs rather than racial divisions; the economic forces proved to be more influential than the racial boundaries did. James admits that this did not erase the presence of racism, it simply points out that greed for economic and class status were often considered more important than race and can thus influence race prejudice. However, because the elite continually tries to re-implement the order and establish their elite class over and over again, according to James. Within the slave community, James also distinguishes an "upper" class of servants. These servants cultivated themselves and learned as much as they could. From their unique position, they could see the unfairness of society; their knowledge would later help them serve their people on a higher level."

"STRATEGIC PLANNING PROCESS: UCLA MEDICAL CENTER

Introduction
Formal strategic planning (FSP) is defined as "the process of determining the mission, major objectives, strategies, and policies that govern the acquisition and allocation of resources to achieve organizational aims" (Pearce, Freeman, & Robinson, 1987, p. 658). Strategic planning is a process that generates specific actions which are required to carry out a particular strategy.

By definition, thus, the strategic planning process begins subsequent to the adoption of a strategy. The entire strategic process within an organization, however, is a set of highly interrelated components that function within a dynamic environment. Thus, in the so-called real world, strategic planning ..."

Abstract
This paper presents a detailed look as to how Dr. James Naismith, Canadian theologian and teacher, created the game of basketball.

"After the practice, the captain approached James and asked if he would play in the team's next game against Queen's University. James accepted and for seven years James played without missing a single game. Even though, at that time, football was viewed as a tool of the devil, Dr. Naismith enjoyed it enough to block negative feelings expressed by fellow theology students."
