Abstract
This paper is a content analysis of network (ABC, NBC and CBS) local and national news broadcasts, focusing on the reporting of stories related to crime. The study is based on the viewing of a half-hour segment of news on the three national and three local stations' broadcasts (six half-hour segments), with that viewing concentrating on crime-related compared to non-crime-related stories. The analysis also examines the nature of the crime stories, including the type of crime, the reporting agency, victim characteristics and offender characteristics, and compares national and local coverage.
From the Paper
"We see in a comparison of the local and national news on ABC that on the local level the stories of crime seem to feature violence for its own sake, or for "entertainment's" sake, rather than for any larger social issue, while on the national level one story involved a dramatic crime in a low-crime nation, and the other involved issues (DNA testing, death penalty) which transcend the crime itself."

Introduction
Research Methodology: Alternatives, Optimal Choice, and the Rationale
Validity and Robustness of the Model
From the Paper
"It would also be beneficial to test sub-hypotheses that support the main hypothesis so as to understand if the data is given contradictory results. For example, the main hypothesis is testing whether network news has a liberal bias. Sub-hypotheses can measure specific liberal biases, such as the treatment of the war on Iraq, views about social security or taxes in general, and opinions on leadership in the country. If the main hypothesis is tested and it is proven that there is a liberal bias, then these sub-hypotheses, should also slant towards a liberal view on network news, if not, then the main hypothesis is not supported and may need another methodological approach."

Abstract
This paper explains that sensationalism often replaces real news within the American media; thus, if a story, on the surface, seems banal and uneventful, the story will often be ?tweaked? in such a manner as to provide viewers with a more dynamic and exaggerated sense of dramatics. The author points out that the proliferation of news bias often distorts consumer?s views of what is actually occurring in the world because major world events typically are blown out of proportion in an effort to entertain and captivate viewers. The paper relates that, rather than focus on bland subject material, news reporters more often highlight news stories that entail criminal activity, death, and violence; this type of subject matter is much more dynamic and often causes viewers to tune in and stay actively involved in news broadcasts.
From the Paper
"Glassner also points out that Americans view television as reality, which is a crime in and of itself. People don?t necessarily ?reap an impression from television but rather take what is presented on TV as reality?. Glassner also argues that media moguls won?t cover legitimate news issues such as the prevalence of uninsured Americans, because broadcast agents claim their would be no public interest in such matters. Rather, media agents create interest around such topics as violence and raw passion."

"In the current network environment several vendors manufacture adapters and base stations. In addition the cost associated with the implementation of WiFi systems has decreased tremendously and WiFi is now available in schools, homes and the workplace (Emerging Technologies: Wireless Networks, 2002). The article further reports that the use of WiFi in the home has come as a result of the increased popularity of higher-speed Internet access such as cable and DSL. In addition bases stations permit internet access to be shared amongst several users. In the case of Apple's airport the DHCP ('dynamic host configuration protocol') is already a part of the Airport hub, and several devices can share the same IP number. The base station can also be attached to an Ethernet Internet connection. Many base stations also have firewall protection.
"The use of WiFi is also extremely popular because it allows mixed networks to exist harmoniously (Emerging Technologies: Wireless Networks, 2002). This means that Mac and Windows computers can operate using the same WiFi network (Emerging Technologies: Wireless Networks, 2002). In addition to the networking of computers peripherals and mobile devices that have Wi Fi cards can also operate on the network (Emerging Technologies: Wireless Networks, 2002)."

Abstract
This paper examines Fox Television Network and compares it to the three major networks in broadcast television, ABC, CBS and NBC. This network has produced a number of shows that have made television history. The paper looks at the history behind the formation of the network in 1986 by Rupert Murdoch, whose intention was to form an independent television network to compete with the three major networks, and the story behind its success. The paper also discusses Rupert Murdoch's background and his media company, Fox Corporation. Criticisms of Fox News Network and the Fox News Channel are also mentioned. The paper concludes that the network has a reach almost as great as the other three networks in terms of the amount of the country served and is certainly ahead of the smaller networks.
From the Paper
" The Fox Television Network is often simply referred to as Fox, and the company and related companies are owned by the Fox Entertainment Group as part of Rupert Murdoch's News Corporation. The network was launched in 1986 and has produced and shown a number of series since that time. The network took a long time to achieve sufficient standing to be considered a threat to the three major networks, meaning ABC, CBS, and NBC. Since the launch of Fox, two other national broadcast networks have been launched, UPN and the WB, or Warner Bros. Network. These companies are competing for audience and advertisers at the same time as broadcast television is losing audience to cable and other media, and many are uncertain of how long broadcast television will continue in its present form or what form it might take in the future."

Abstract
The writer traces news from the Penny Press to the Present Press, showing how crime has evolved to become the most important feature in written or electronically produced news. To simplify: crime is news. Printed news about crime and justice is nearly as old as the printed word itself.
From the Paper
"New York, 1841: Mary Rogers' body has just been discovered. Rarely do the editorial pages codemn the lack of crime control in the city; instead the papers are either fictionalizing the crime and making up stories to fit the facts or extrapolating from the crime and using the story to represent the city itself. James Gordon Bennett was the editor of the New York Herald and a symbol in journalism for sensationalism and libelous reporting. He has been noted as ?the principal figure in the rise of the new urban journalism and the creation of the Mary Rogers story?. His and other newspapers followed the saga of the story, and along with it delved into the issues that surrounded the case: it appeared that Mary had gone to have an abortion; it came out that she had been seen with several different suitors; she was a working woman who helped run a boarder house; all of these issues that were central to the crime itself were expanded in the newspapers to represent the whole city, with ?Mary herself serving as an extended metaphor for the city.?

Abstract
This paper explains that networking is the process of moving information via computers rather than via any other medium such as paper media or face-to-face communication. The author stresses that, as in the case with larger networks, there are security risks associated with home networks, especially with ?always on? broadband Internet services, such as DSL and cable modems. The paper states that, although most people do not think of the Internet as a network, the largest and most global network is the Internet. It is the most wide-reaching and revolutionary type of network that exists today.

"A home network essentially allows individuals to link together all of the computers in their home. A home network can allow a family to save money on multiple peripherals such as printers and fax machines and allow the family to access all of the computers and software stored within the computers linked in the household. In addition, ?one of the most compelling reasons to set up a home network is that everyone can be on the Internet at the same time.?"

Abstract
This paper explains that power line networking has many advantages but a main advantage is that it does not require the use of any additional wiring; just plug the computers and devices into a power outlet and the network is formed, essentially turning your power outlets into network ports and providing instant networking. The author points out that the technology has been around since the 1950s but has been on the fringes because of lack of interoperability, low quality of service and other problems; however, now, with definite standards and specifications being applied and price cuts, the technology is gaining ground. The paper relates that, in the future, this technology will be used in every "smart home", which uses computers to run everyday devices like microwaves, washing machines and watering system that can be started remotely by using a cell phone or PDA.

From the Paper
"Powerline technologies are already in use globally. Issues such as power voltages in different countries (110V / 220 V) come into play at this level. PowerPacket technology works independent of voltage and current frequencies so it is usable almost anywhere, passport on the other had is mostly useful in the U.S for now or countries using 110V. Also many countries with higher voltages use the three pin plug instead in the 2 pin plug used in the US so these lead to differences in powerline devices for different countries."

Conclusion
From the Paper
"The basic concept of Web 2.0 as a definitive evolutionary step from a Web 1.0 began to emerge following the dot com bust in the United States (US) in 2001. Many researchers admit that the massive shakeout in Web companies during this period resulted in a fewer but more specialized Web based companies than previously existed (Ellison 83). Thus, the implication is that these Web based companies that survived this tumultuous era in the Internet's history either had a stronger business model or a unique business model that allowed them to survive. The combination of these surviving Web companies and the companies that emerged after them which followed their lead led to the creation of the platforms that now comprise Web 2.0."

Abstract
This paper explains that a computer science phenomenon called neural networks, similar to the part of the brain, consist of ways to connect information to produce output that is consistent with the processes. The author points out that recent interest in neural models stems primarily from its nonlinear models that can be trained to map past and future values of the input-output relationship, thus extracting relationships between the data that were not obvious using other analytical tools. The paper stresses that, unlike conventional computers, neural networks have the unique capability of learning. The author relates that the fact that neural networks are trained without the restriction of a model to derive parameters and discover relationships, driven and shaped solely by the nature of the data, has profound implications and applicability to the finance field. The paper includes equations.

From the Paper
"Capital budgeting is one of the most important functions of financial management. It encompasses a process of planning expenditures on assets whose cash flows are expected to extend beyond one year. A company with growth rates and profit margins such as that are dictated by capital expenditure and investment cannot afford to ignore the importance of capital budgeting. Erroneous forecasts of asset requirements can have serious consequences, Therefore there is always a need for complex and accurate models to dictate the relationship between variables."

From the Paper
"At present there are a range of protocols in use for wireless technology. Perhaps the most common is 802.11b. It is moderately cheap in using equipment 802.11b. The free 2.4 Ghz is the frequency range in which 802.11b wireless communication standard works. But there are many systems like cordless phones and baby monitors which obstruct the wireless traffic. For 802.11b communications, the maximum speed is 11 mbps. The new 802.11g standard is an improved version of 802.11b. Though it uses the same busy 2.4 Ghz shared by other common household wireless devices, 802.11g is competent of transmission speeds up to 54 mbps. The equipment intended for 802.11g communicates with 802.11b equipment, but combination of two standards is not suggested. (Quick Tip: Wireless Networking Protocols)"

"Wireless services are an excellent example of how just how far technology has come. Wireless networking holds the key to a new era of telecommunications, yet wireless services have been used for well over a century and are still synonymous with "radio" (ATS, 2003). The first sign of wireless technology was seen in the 19th century when Guglielmo Marconi, who is known as "the father of radio?, entered the

Abstract
This paper explains that demand-driven supply network (DDSN) is an IT strategy that uses a system of technologies and processes to sense demand and react to it in real time, across a network of linked customers, suppliers and employees. The author uses both a case analysis methodology and quantitative surveys. The paper states that the hypothesis of the study is that, because physical supply chains in a global economy operate at the speed of ocean-going ships, U.S. manufacturers should re-engineer their supply networks to remove bottlenecks from the system and match the speed of innovation that operates in a flat world by adopting appropriate demand-drive supply networking techniques. The paper includes many charts, figures and tables and the survey questionnaires.

"Therefore, one of the most important elements in CPFR is the forging of proactive links between partners or allies at different stages of the supply pipeline. These need to be both strategic and tactical and require proper management as one of the resources of the organization. An excellent example of this in action is to be found in the approach that Levi Strauss and Company take with its main suppliers and customers. According to Lowson, since the mid-1980s, the firm has constantly been trying to establish closer working links in the supply in a coordinated pipeline with the aid of its 'Levilink'..."

Crime Story Salience, 2007.
A look at what characteristics of crime stories cause them to be particularly salient to people.
978 words (approx. 3.9 pages), 4 sources, MLA, $ 34.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper attempts to determine why so many people are so interested in crime by analyzing the subject of crime stories in the news media. It focuses on the research of Steven Chernak who found some support for the hypothesis that the seriousness of a crime is an important predictor of how much attention it will get in the news.
From the Paper
"Chernak commences his article with a comprehensive literature review. In this review, he reports on other studies into the subject of crime stories in the news media. Drawing on these studies, he points out that at least 25% of news space is allocated to crime stories. Of these, the crimes that receive the most attention are serious personal crimes, especially murder. On the other hand, the media pays scant attention to drug offences - although this does seem to be increasing. Researchers have also thrown some light on victim and defendant characteristics of crime stories. As Chernak notes, victims are most frequently portrayed as elderly or young, white, and male. "
