From the Paper
"The term, ?nanotechnology,? was proposed by K. Eric Drexler. The Institute of Nanotechnology advises that nanotechnology can best be considered as a ?catch-all? phrase used to describe activities at the level of atoms and molecules that have applications in real world settings. A nanometer is a billionth of a meter (about 1/80,000 of the diameter of a human hair, or 10 times the diameter of a hydrogen atom) (Nanotechnology ? What Is It?, 2002). Nanomaterials are defined as particles having a size in the range of 1-100 nanometers that exhibit unique physical and electrochemical properties, thereby enabling the manufacture of stronger, harder, more wear-resistant materials."

Abstract
In this article, the writer notes that times have changed with regards to education. The writer points out that now, teachers are being held accountable for their work. Yet, the writer notes that with this accountability comes the need for effective student assessment. Further, the writer discusses that just as the priorities of the demands on teachers have changed from keeping classrooms clean and warm, to ensuring that each and every child comes through the educational system with an actual education, these assessment tools have also changed.
From the Paper
"The field of teaching has changed significantly over the course of just the last two generations. In 1923, a standard elementary teacher's contract included items such as remaining unmarried, not associating with men, being at home between the hours of 8:00 p.m. and 6:00 a.m., and not leaving town without permission. These were in addition to not smoking, drinking, or even riding in a carriage or automobile with any man except her father or brother."

"The purpose of this paper is to provide steps to help the USA alleviate the nursing shortage. In the United States today the health care industry is suffering from the sever shortage of nursing professionals. This reality is the result of several factors that have impacted the profession over the last few decades. First, health care costs have altered the manner in which many health care facilities operate. Because of the influx of new technologies and an attempt for health care facilities to remain competitive, hospital systems have elected to cut costs in other areas. Cost cutting was primarily aimed at staffing in hospitals, which eliminated many nursing jobs."

Abstract
This paper provides background history of the development of the technology which became known as nanotechnology. The paper looks at the features of this technology and explains that although nanotechnology is a given in the future, there remains many open questions of when and how. It concludes that companies who are presently involved with the technology, or that plan on considering its implementation in the coming decade, need to conduct considerable research before making final decisions.
From the Paper
"As with any other new technology, ethical considerations are also being raised regarding nanotechnology. This is another area that must be a part of a corporation's overall strategy. One of the areas of concern is that the convergence of nanotechnology and biotechnology further complicates the privacy issue. Opponents cite news of tiny radio-frequency identification tags, the kind used to keep track of pets, but the size of a grain of rice that have been implanted in staff at the Mexican attorney general's department to control access to their office. While this particular technology was micro- rather than nanoscale technology, it showed the problems that could result from the trend towards smaller and smaller devices. Such devices, they say, can be put into any products, so that companies can keep track of what products are purchased by whom and where. Military and private weapons, communication devices and tracking systems will also be nano-size, which raises numerous other issues."

Abstract
The paper reveals that trends in culture are reflected in the public's perception of drugs and their usage. Therefore, the paper stresses that the social and cultural aspects and perceptions of drug usage are an important part of understanding drug trends. The paper discusses the drug trends of the past and notes that today the public is becoming more aware of the dangers of drug abuse. This is evidenced by declining drug usage rates in many sectors of the population. The paper points out, however, that this is countered by the alarming trend of increasing drug usage among very young children and the abuse of painkillers. The paper emphasizes how drug abuse is often unconsciously aided by social norms and trends. The paper concludes with the hope that the recent decline in drug usage is an indication of a new trend of mature awareness of this problem.
From the Paper
"Drug usage in America has been an endemic part of the cultural fabric of the society since the early years of its history. Drugs played a part in the social exchange between the early colonists and the indigenous inhabitants and alcohol was also an ever-present element of America's early cultural history. For example, "As early as 1585, members of the first settlement on Roanoke Island achieved some success brewing beer from Indian maize." (Tracy and Acker 3) In the Jacksonian era alcohol was commonly brewed and distilled and was also used for the medicinal purposes. (Tracy and Acker 3) Alcohol is in fact is an important element in understanding the historical trends in relation to other drugs, as it provides an underlying rationale for the social acceptance of drug taking."

Abstract
The paper explores how organizations have become reliant on timely information acquisition and processing in order to remain competitive. The paper explains that, by outsourcing, these organizations are able to take advantage of their outsourcing partner's expertise and economies of scale. The paper further examines how these companies are able to reduce costs by eliminating in-house development staff and associated costs. The paper concludes that all of these advantages equate to a competitive advantage that is increasingly important in today's hyper-competitive world.
From the Paper
"There are a plethora of benefits to outsourcing application development, for organizations. First, outsourcing this often-critical task allows companies to focus on their core business of the enterprise. Without the worry of these ancillary items, the organization can concentrate on what their unique business is truly about. This, in turn, allows the company to provide a higher level of service to their customer (Phillips; Siemers).
Organizations must investigate the costs of outsourcing in comparison to the costs of internal application development, including the recruiting and retaining of internal development staff (Wood). Most companies discover that there is a significant cost advantage to outsourcing application development."

Abstract
This paper provides a comprehensive review and discussion of the relevant literature to define what stock options are and how they are used. An examination of traditional and new valuation methods is followed by a review of current and future trends in expensing stock options. A summary of the research is provided in the conclusion. Two excellent graphics are also provided within the text.
From the Paper
"During the past decade, American corporations have granted more and more stock options as compensation, especially for top executives. An option gives the holder the right to buy or sell stock at a specified price by a specific date. If the right to buy shares is set at a low price and the stock goes up, the option holder makes a profit. Critics of the proposed changes argue that options provide vital incentives for skilled employees and executives, especially those who work for risky high-tech ventures. Advocates of reform maintain that options give executives too much incentive to inflate profits falsely to boost the value of their options. Also, they argue that because stock-option costs are not counted in quarterly earnings statements, companies can mask their true cost to investors."

Abstract
This paper cites the Wikipedia definition of public relations (PR) and explains that, while PR campaigns can be benign, they are often detrimental to society. The paper goes on to examine current global trends in public relations and to discuss the dual purposes of PR: to provide the public with necessary information, or attempt to influence the public with propaganda that may or may not be true.
From the Paper
"Public relations is defined by Wikipedia as the practice of conveying messages to the public through media on behalf of a client with the intention of changing the public's actions by influencing their opinions Public relations can have a benign purpose, such as educating the public about HIV AIDS or advertising a charity, but often the clients of PR firms play neither a constructive role nor offer a public benefit but simply want some advantage to the detriment of the public good."

Abstract
This paper looks at the direction of technology in education and how technology is successfully implemented into the classroom. It looks at new concepts being introduced and the benefits of these on educational levels.
From the Paper
"According to Thornburg, bringing technology to students isn?t as easy as it sounds. A reality known as the digital divide makes educational technology all the more important and more difficult to achieve. Lowensteyn and Thornburg both agree that the upper class of society is at the greater advantage in benefiting from technology and putting it to work for them. According to Thornburg, seventy percent of households with a combined income of $70,000 or greater have computers. At the same time only ten percent of households with a combined income of about $10,000 have a computer. The financial have-nots, as Thornburg refers to them, are also the informational have-nots. How do we bridge the gap? It falls upon the school systems and the teachers to prepare students for the technologically advanced workforce. "

Abstract
The paper discusses how training and forming executives, at all levels of the company and no matter what the size of the organization, is essential in today's continuously competitive marketing environment. The paper explains that executive development ensures leadership in a corporation and leadership ensures the success the company will have in the marketplace. The paper looks at present of executive development and also explores future trends in executive development. The paper concludes that executive development is one of the growing concerns that organizations are likely to face in the future.
From the Paper
"For a long period of time in the past, leadership was often equivalent to a patriarchal figure, often founder of the company, who transmitted his knowledge to the people in the hierarchy and passed on leadership to the new executives of the corporation. Examples can range from Henry Ford to Sam Walton and to Thomas Watson Sr. at IBM. Executive development was not regulated in any way within the organization and it generally meant that the leader and founder taught the younger executives the leadership trade."
