Abstract
This paper recounts the beginnings of the Super Bowl by first looking at the creation of the AFL. It looks at the role television had in the success of the Super Bowl and the tremendous amounts of money spent by both leagues which encouraged fans to pick sides. The continued success of the Super Bowl and some of the factors that contribute to its success (half time shows, commercial airtime) are also discussed.
From the Paper
"By 1968, the year of Super Bowl I, America accounted for over 78million households with televisions (out of a worldwide 200million) and its popularity was ever increasing. At this point, television shows that are now steady re-runs on Nick at Nite, were entertaining Americans as they lived their ?American Dream?. Televised football games were highly popular (much like today) and were a ready source of commercial income for broadcast stations and football franchises. Television programs and commercials were defining what Americans should buy, eat and live by. It was a viable force then as it is now."

Under the First Amendment CBS has the right to exercise its editorial judgment regarding the content of Super Bowl ads."

Abstract
The paper discusses how Susan Yara's article, entitled "Super Gyms for the Super Rich", suggests that the wealthy, as with so many other aspects of their lives, get in shape differently than ordinary Americans. The paper further discusses Yara's analysis that certain gyms, by targeting higher-end consumers, have established a niche market through careful advertising, marketing, and appeal to a crucial 'snob factor' that makes getting in shape for the elite more attractive. The paper examines how the elite are more determined to create enclaves that are for a select few, who are willing to pay any price. The paper includes the original article.
From the Paper
"While the basic fitness centers at a local strip mall might offer a treadmill, these new elite gyms offer the best in personal training and fitness equipment, as might be expected. These gyms also offer concierge services, private cabanas in which consumers can change for the pool, elegant rooftop patios where clients can show off their newly toned figures, private spas and, instead of Power Bars and Gatorade, the gym's dining areas serving gourmet food. Customers are not simply given standard dietary and workout advice, they are given specific meal and supplement plans, as well as medical assessments to go with customized workout regimes."

Abstract
The paper describes a 2007 Super Bowl advertisement by Budweiser and discusses the product, price, place and promotion. The paper looks at the targeted audience, how the product is positioned and what significant connotations appear to be at play. The paper shows how the humor of the advertisement guarantees it to have success among young drinkers.
From the Paper
"Super Bowl ads have become extraordinarily lucrative marketing tools in recent years. One particular 2007 Ad by Budweiser features a beer cooler which has been left alone momentarily on a tropical beach. Its presence has been well-noted, however, and it is not long before a legion of crabs arrives to pay it homage. When the group absconds with the cooler, somehow evading the notice of those gathered on the beach, and taking it to a fairly remote location nearby, it becomes clear the commercial is building to a humorous climax. Sure enough, when two beers protruding from the top of the cooler move slightly shortly after the large item has been set down, the crabs respond by treating them as if the beers are twin deities, prostrating themselves in a manner that is funny even for a cynical commercial watcher. At the end of the brief advertisement, the Budweiser logo appears with its familiar caption, "Budweiser: King of Beers" and the obvious linkage between the beers being worshipped by the crabs and Budweiser Beer being worthy of the worship of American beer drinkers is made unapologetically - if rather clumsily (Budweiser, 2007)."

Abstract
This paper examines some of the advantages and disadvantages associated with giving birth vaginally after having previously delivered by a Cesarean (VBAC). The paper looks at why doctors try to avoid them, but also gives support from the literature for their safety and success. The paper further discusses contraindications and the major problem which is uterine rupture following prior C-section. It points out that uterine rupture is usually due to Pitocin use, and that VBACs have a 98 percent success rate.
From the Paper
"Vaginal Birth After Cesarean (VBAC) is becoming increasingly popular and the medical profession has tried somewhat to discourage it because of the risk of uterine rupture. While postpartum fever seemed to correlate with uterine rupture at VBAC in a recent study there was no relationship between single or double..."

Abstract
This paper explains that bowling, one of the largest participatory sports in the world, is enjoyed primarily by the older population but has a place in the entertainment of pre-teens, families and middle-aged groups. The author points out that, due to the increasing costs of maintenance and equipment modernization, the cost of a family bowling night has increased dramatically making it more difficult to afford an evening out with the family. The paper relates that the decline in leagues has caused a steady drop in overall revenue in the industry; but open bowling style has increased, which indicates bowling is returning mostly to a recreational sport.

Conclusion
From the Paper
"With the bowling lane now being controlled by computers, customers find that score keeping and other functions are very simplified. New computer software is used in controlling each lane and must be updated when available. The new computerized system was designed by the National Bowling Association, operates within the professional bowling guidelines, and costs over $100,000. A price increase was put in to effect due to the fact that the building was in need of repairs, such as new carpeting, new electronic consoles for each lane, and some roof repair. This necessitated a price increase. Several complaints and negative comments were made and the center also lost two of its regular leagues, who transferred to another bowler center."

Abstract
The paper gives a brief history of these types of centers. The writer then brings sources that illustrate the need for alternative birthing options. The paper looks at the history of the development, licensure, accreditation and reimbursement of birth centers and nurse-midwives, and explores the research that gives evidence of the safety, satisfaction to mothers and the economic savings of birth centers.
From the Paper
"The MCA in New York used their own two decades of experience with home birth and the services of these two centers to develop the Childbearing Center to serve women who sought an alternative to the increasing routine medical intervention given during normal births in hospitals (Birth Center 1, 1998, p. 45). Women seeking care at this center were usually well-educated, middle class women with insurance to cover hospital maternity care, and exhibited the same demographics as the previous generation of women who began the childbirth education and breast feeding movement in the United States. These women wanted to make informed decisions about healthcare and wanted more from the birth experience than women had previously."

Abstract
This paper discusses the increasing preference of women to give birth in birthing rooms. It discusses the benefits of the relaxed and comfortable environment of the birth rooms and how many hospitals are now beginning to build birthing rooms. The paper discusses the necessary amenities that should be available in all birthing rooms for a comfortable, yet safe delivery.
From the Paper
"Recent research has shown that the place of birth has a direct impact on the pace and quality of delivery, and when the woman feels confident and satisfied with the choice that she has made about her place of delivery, then she can be sure that her delivery would be as uncomplicated and natural as she desired it to be. A birthing room in a hospital, with the bare minimum of medical intervention and a homely atmosphere, with provisions for the partner and the family of the woman to take part in the amazing phenomenon of birth would be the ideal option for today's woman having a baby, unless she has had complications during her pregnancy, for which a hospital setting would be a much better option. Having a safe and comfortable and natural delivery is the ideal of every woman on earth, and if a hospital facilitates this, then the woman would be obliged forever to the hospital and the medical team that helped create this setting and put it into action. (Evidence regarding place of birth)"

Issue under investigation
Literature Review
Recommendation
Conclusion
From the Paper
"The issue under investigation is low birth weight (LBW) in infants and its effects on intelligence and development using both cognitive and biophysical models of development. LBW infants are also often called pre-term infants in the extant literature on the subject. "Low birth weight (LBW, [is less than or equal to] 2500 g) preterm infants are widely reported to be at increased risk for developmental disabilities, with the risk increasing as birth weight decreases.[1-6] Almost universally, the increased morbidity reported for LBW children has been based on methods defining various outcomes for them as a group and examining the statistical effects of various factors on these group outcomes. However, LBW infants are also known to be a very heterogeneous group, both in biomedical and sociodemographic characteristics and in developmental outcome" (Koller et al., 1997)."

Abstract
This paper examines whether the sociobiological approach of a person's personality holds true in the field of juvenile crime. Specifically, the paper evaluates whether birth order is a significant determinant in whether or not a young person commits crimes and in the rates of juvenile recidivism. It takes interdisciplinary approach to the issue of birth order and juvenile delinquency, drawing on diverse literature from fields including psychology, law, criminology and sociology. The extent of birth order on youth crime is explored through a critical survey and integration of current research on the various determinants of juvenile delinquency.

Birth Order and Social Behavior
Effects of Birth Order on Criminal Behavior
A Critique of Birth Order Theory
Other Predictors of Criminal Behavior
Conclusion
From the Paper
"Sulloway maintains that the effects of birth order do not stem merely from biology. Rather, he ascribes this to children?s innate tendency to develop attitudes and personalities that are best suited for maximizing the resources that they get from their parents. Since siblings must compete for their parents? attentions, they carve out their own ?family niches? relative to their brothers and sisters, a niche that is often defined by birth order (Sulloway 1996: 48). Meri Wallace, a child development expert, locates the social construction of birth order roles on the part of the parents. According to Wallace, many of the characteristics resulting from a child?s birth order and family position actually stem from their early relationship with their parents."

Birth as an American Rite of Passage (Robbie E. Davis-Floyd), 2001.

From the Paper
"In Birth as an American Rite of Passage, Robbie E. Davis-Floyd (1992) contends that the birthing process in the U.S. is the effort by the technocratic society to control a natural act (p. 2). According to her, the birthing process should be considered a rite of passage because it sends a powerful message to the women, ?the initiates,? that the technocratic institutions are superior to their natural capacities (Davis-Floyd, 1992, p. 16). Fundamentally, Davis-Floyd (1992) highlights the fact that woman?s creative power is usurped by the hospital and technology. Instead of being celebrated as a life-giver, she is disempowered and made to feel helpless and dependent on them (pp. 74-5). From the technocratic perspective, women?s bodies are regarded as entities that are likely to fail and need to be fixed during the birthing process (David-Floyd,.."

From the Paper
"Social scientists advocating family dynamics as reasons for an individual?s drive to achieve and exercise power in a society propose that ordinal position must be examined within the family structure in order to determine how birth order influences socialization which, in turn, affects personality and behavior and exercise of power."
