Abstract
In modern society, heroin, crack, methamphetamine, cocaine, LSD, ketamine, MDMA or ecstasy and other drugs are being more heavily abused than at any time in history. As a result, society and drug abusers alike suffer significant losses as the result of criminal and self-destructive behavior caused by drug abuse. The paper shows that many drug abusers become involved in drug rehabilitation centers, although it is not clear whether or not these centers work. The federal government, states and private entities invest billions of dollars annually in drug rehabilitation programs that attempt to prevent the use of illegal drugs. The paper shows, however, that illegal drug use in the United States remains a serious problem. In 1996, approximately 13 million Americans were using drugs. This paper determines whether or not drug rehabilitation works, based on recent research.
From the Paper
"However, research on the most effective treatment interventions for other groups of drug abusers is less definitive (GAO, 1998). Promising treatment approaches for other groups include cognitive-behavioral therapy for treatment of cocaine abuse and family-based therapy for adolescent drug users. According to Narcanon (2003), many drug rehabilitation programs produce incredible results in removing the root causes of addiction. For example, Narcanon?s detoxification program has enabled many drug abusers to become drug-free."

Abstract
This paper discusses chapter 13 of Anthony Shadid's chronicle of the American military's recent experience in Baghdad, "Night Draws Near." The paper discusses the title of the chapter, "A Bad Muslim" and then looks specifically at American incomprehension of the Middle East and how it is a reoccurring pattern in American history. The paper looks at how Shadid's chapter 13 reflects this incomprehension.
From the Paper
"American incomprehension of the Middle East is a reoccurring pattern in American history. It lies partially misunderstanding of how America's close ties with Israel make it seem partisan in Arab eyes, not a neutral force as it regards itself, in its own democratic vision. It lies partially in the American ideal of secularism that is so anathema to the Middle East. Americans thought that ancient rivalries in Iraq could be swept away with new a new form of governance, with democratic ideals that America regards as universal ideals, and with superior but just military force. America thought that the terrors of the Saddam Hussein regime were enough to eradicate the hatred of America and the ideology of militant Islam. Instead, the chaos of civil war made religion and the identity afforded by nationalism even more comforting to Iraqis. Of course, it is not only in the Middle East that America has made this mistake: "Their destiny will be the same as in Vietnam," says one Iraqi (285). Hearing unfortunate American involvement in a foreign land analogized with Vietnam is nothing new for Americans, but it sounds especially chilling in the voice of an Iraqi, not just in the voice of an American critiquing the Iraqi war."

"Matthew 16:13-20", 2005.
This paper analyzes "Matthew 16:13-20", which presents the gospel center of the Galilean ministry.

Abstract
This paper explains that the beginning of Matthew 16:13-18 reveals the transforming perspective of the disciples towards Christ, who becomes fully established in a formative, substantive plan. The author points out that the original Greek, NIV and NASB versions of the passage of "Matthew 16:13-17" are rife with lexicological curiosities, thematic complexity and literary tools used for significant theological debate. The paper relates that these verses of Christological preeminence for their establishment of the foundation of Christ as the accepted Son of God are as interesting to academic scholars as to theologians.
From the Paper
"After expressing gratitude and pride in the faith of Simon Peter, Jesus then proclaims, "I also say to you that you are Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church; and the gates of Hades will not overpower it." (16:18) The exegetical dilemma provided by 16:18 is to establish what the "rock" of which Jesus speaks actually is. Historically, Rome has connected Simon's last name, what we call Peter (Pevtro), and the word rock (pevtra) with liturgical emphasis, contesting that it implies that Simon himself is the rock. At the same time, most Protestant scholars reject this claim, largely positioning themselves into two different theoretical camps."

Mark 2:13-17, 2005.
This paper is a biblical study in note form about Mark 2:13-17 from the "New International Bible".

»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper explains that, in Mark 2:13-17, within his quest to enlighten those with his love, Jesus delivered the message that it is the rich who are truly the sick ones. The author points out that Jesus now attempts to call upon the Jewish tax collectors, who despise him the most for his teachings. The paper relates that not only hatred, which the Jewish Philistines had for Jesus, is reflected in this passage; but also it depicts the supernatural power that Jesus had over those that had contact with him.
From the Paper
"Jesus is consciously taking his missionary vision to the upper middle classes. The attention that he seeks to attain reflects his goal of finding those in power, helping these 'sinners' to understand the plight of the poor and the helpless through his example of love and forgiveness. His command over Levi is relates the divine power Jesus had to consume and convert those that did not initially believe by his message. 2. Jesus has provided a message that it is the rich who are truly the sick ones within his quest to enlighten those with his love. He now attempts to call upon the Jewish tax collectors that despise him the most for his teachings."

Abstract
This paper discusses the power and peril of the American presidency in the film "13 Days" by director Roger Donaldson. The paper illustrates the urgency, suspense, and paralyzing chaos of the Cuban Missile Crisis. The paper contends that the movie demonstrates the best and worst of communication between individuals and groups and, in particular, the difficulties of bringing people to consensus when their views differ widely.
From the Paper
"Kenny O?Connell is Chief of Staff and Political Advisor for President John F. Kennedy. They have been friends for many years, and O?Connell serves as Kennedy?s political advisor. He often displays an authoritarian style as team leader. The events that unfold in this movie take place during the Cuban Missile Crisis in 1962, when U-2 spy planes discover Soviet missiles that could easily hit the United States being installed in the U.S.S.R.?s ally, Cuba. Kenneth O?Connell, as portrayed in this movie, is shown to be a man with multiple communication styles that he adjusts from setting to setting. Much of the time he speaks in a very authoritarian way and with considerable finality, but when high-level decisions are being made, he listens to everyone with respect and does not issue orders. However, when it is part of his job to follow through and make sure those group decisions are followed, he does so efficiently and aggressively."

Abstract
This paper explains that Mark is the second Gospel in the New Testament, the shortest of the four Gospels, and the first to be written. The author points out that this book, which was likely composed between AD 65-70, after Peter and Paul died, was probably written in Rome for a Gentile audience. The paper relates that Mark's Gospel is known as the Gospel of Action because it records the eighteen miracles Christ performed, many of which are also described in the Gospels of Matthew and Luke.
From the Paper
"Mark is the second Gospel in the New Testament, the shortest of the four Gospels, and also the first to be written. The book was likely composed between AD 65-70, after Peter and Paul died. It was probably written in Rome for a Gentile audience. Mark's Gospel is known as the "Gospel of Action" because it records the eighteen miracles Christ performed, many of which are also described in the Gospels of Matthew and Luke. I have selected for exegesis one particular passage, Mark 2:13-17. Within Chapter 2 of Mark, there is no delineation of time, so the events would appear to have occurred on the same day that Jesus forgave and healed the paralytic (2:1-12). This event and the event of 2:12-17 take place in Capernaum while large crowds follow Jesus. Jesus calls Levi, the tax collector, to follow him -- and he does. "

From the Paper
"The typical American child spends 30 percent of his waking hours in front of a television set. For most children, this adds up to between 28 and 33 hours per week of TVwatching. Small wonder, then, that many people are concerned about the effects of television, particularly television commercials, on youngsters. Advertisers are becoming increasingly sophisticated in their persuasive techniques in this age of deregulation, and children are still the easiest targets of all. In this paper we will examine the impact of TV commercials on children under 13, with special attention to current research, the discrimination between fantasy and reality, the desire for products, the effects on children's attention spans, styles of ad presentation, and some effects on family life."

"MORPHINE
Morphine is given for the relief of moderate to severe pain. It can be given in tablet form, or injection, or intravenous infusion, depending on the severity of pain and the duration of administration necessary. Morphine provides analgesia and sedation.
The precise method of analgesic action of morphine is unknown, but central nervous system opiate receptors have been found throughout the brain and spinal cord, and are likely to play a role in the analgesic effects of morphine. Once absorbed, morphine is distributed to skeletal muscle, kidney, liver intestinal tract, lungs, spleen, and brain. Virtually all of the dose is converted to glucuronide metabolites. Approximately 50 percent of the dose which will reach the.."

Abstract
This paper details the history and goals of D.A.R.E. which was created in 1983 to educate students across America about the dangers of illegal drugs. Today D.A.R.E. is present in most U.S. schools as well as 13 foreign countries and has garnered the enthusiastic support and sponsorship of educators, law enforcement agencies and the media. The writer of this paper evaluates the strategies and effectiveness of this program against other drug education programs.

Recommendation
From the Paper
"The billions of dollars spent on D.A.R.E. clearly cannot compete with parental involvement. D.A.R.E.'s results do not show success. In addition, they do not show progress. We are staring at an ever-growing mountain of evidence representing that D.A.R.E. simply does not work - kids in the program are just as likely to use drugs as children not in the program. Reality does not get much harsher than that. It is clearly time to cut our losses with D.A.R.E. and return to the tried-and-true approach of personal responsibility."

The Doctrine of Eclipse and the Indian Constitution, 2008.
Analyzes decided legal cases to study the doctrine of eclipse and the Indian Constitution.

»

Abstract
This paper defines the doctrine of eclipse and its relationship to the Indian Constitution. The author points out that, by virtue of this doctrine, the legislature can simply revive an inconsistent pre-constitutional law by amending the Constitution. This results in legislative inertia. Thus, the paper concludes the doctrine largely benefits the executive and not the people.
Table of Contents:
Introduction
Nature and Scope
Research Questions
Doctrine of Eclipse
Applicability of Doctrine of Eclipse with regard to Post-Constitutional Laws
Article 13(1) is Not Retrospective
Distinction between Unconstitutionality from Lack of Legislative Competence and from Violation of Constitutional Limitations on Legislative Power
Distinctions between Article 13 (1) and 13 (2)
Supreme Court Decisions which point out the Distinctions between Articles 13 (1) and 13 (2) of the Constitution
Distinction between Voidness in the case of Pre-Constitutional Law and Post-Constitutional Law
Amendment can Revive a Pre-Constitutional Law but not a Post-Constitutional Law Declared Invalid
A Critical Analysis of Doctrine of Eclipse
Conclusion
From the Paper
"The amendment to the Constitution can revive pre-Constitutional laws if it removes the inconsistency associated with that law. This is by virtue of the application of doctrine of eclipse on pre-Constitutional laws which were not still born and would exist though eclipsed on account of the inconsistency to govern pre-existing matters. In the case of post-Constitution laws, they would be still born to the extent of the contravention. This would mean that the doctrine of eclipse is inapplicable in this case. There is no scope for the revival of a post-Constitutional law by an amendment of the Constitution."

"It is important to understand states Morrison that "revivals were very much influenced by those leading them". Morrison states that it was acknowledged, as an important principle among godly ministers is that "the presence of these phenomena and the progress that they took and the degree to which they happened was very much dependent on the way that the leaders conducted services and meetings." Even the "extent to which they flourished was directed associated with the way they were handled.""

Conclusion
From the Paper
"Explaining the nature of fraud, de Grey, C.J. stated that though a judgment would be res judicata and not impeachable from within, it might be impeachable from without. In other words, though it is not permissible to show that the court was "mistaken", it might be shown that it was "misled". There is an essential distinction between mistake and trickery. The clear implication of the distinction is that an action to set aside a judgment cannot be brought on the ground that it has been wrongly decided, namely, that on the merits, the decision was one which should not have been rendered, but it can be set aside if the court was imposed upon or tricked into giving the judgment."
