Abstract
The paper relates that flat screen television prices are rapidly decreasing and consumers are responding by buying more of the sets. The paper also discusses how although demand is up, there appears to be excess supply. The paper predicts that since the market is perfectly competitive, it is likely that a number of competitors will see prices fall below average variable costs and will exit the market. The paper shows, therefore, how excess supply will be eliminated and the market will move toward equilibrium.

From the Paper
"The laws of supply and demand are the most important determinant of market structures (Economics basics: demand and supply). The law of demand states that, if all other factors remain equal, the higher the price of a good, the less people will demand that good and vice versa. The law of supply states that when the price of a good rises, holding other factors constant, producers will be willing to supply more of the product. Price, therefore, is determined by supply and demand. Economic equilibrium refers to an equilibrium in a market where a market for a product has attained the price where the amount supplied of a certain product equals the quantity demanded."

Abstract
This paper explains that, in the parlance of computer systems design, the latest trend is not necessarily larger VDTs (Video Display Terminals) but bigger screen devices; therefore, although the 15-inch screen with a resolution of 800 by 600 is recommended, some applications are acceptable with a 640 by 480 resolution. The author points out that not only are computer screens undergoing some very remarkable changes both in appearances and prices but also the days of the VDTs may indeed be numbered. The paper relates Wireless Application Protocol (WAP) is important in the wireless industries because it brings an open standard for wireless protocols of every description regardless of the independent vendor or whatever air-link is involved.

From the Paper
"There is now a software package commercially available that can put any monitor through an exhaustive battery of test images. It's the industry standard Display-Mate program from Sonera Technologies and is specifically designed for testing of 17-inch and 19-inch monitors. Sonera recommends this battery of testing be accomplished before submitting monitors to the jury testing procedure of specific user applications. The program tests HTML mode usage, EXCEL mode and Adobe PDF mode and following jury testing and their deliberations only monitors successfully completing the Sonera testing should be chosen.
Moreover, after exhaustive testing one brand AcerView models 79g and 99c seems to be far and away the most chosen monitors for business class computer applications."

From the Paper
"There are two main reasons for mentioning that income is taxed ?one time?. Currently dividends paid to company stockholders are taxed both as profits for the company and dividend income for the individual who is paid the dividend. To eliminate this double taxation of dividends the company will pay corporate income taxes on its profits and the individual will not be liable for any taxes on the dividends he receives. A second reason is the elimination of taxing savings twice. If an individual puts a dollar from his paycheck that he has already paid income tax on in the bank, then any earnings on the savings is again taxed. Both of these situations inhibit savings and investment taking dollars out of the economy and recycling them through the federal government."

Abstract
This paper provides an argument in support of instituting a flat tax system in the United States. The paper begins with a statistical-based explanation of the flat tax system, which maintains that one's income should be taxed just once as close as possible to its source. Next, the paper turns to an analysis of the economic and fiscal benefits of a flat tax system. Finally, the paper turns to the social and political benefits of a flat tax system, explaining that it is progressive -- in that those without income are not taxed -- efficient and simple.

From the Paper
"In this light, the main objections to the flat tax are cancelled out (The Economist, 2005). In addition, the advantages of a simple tax system are enhanced. Simplicity is an advantage in its own right. The costs of administering a complex tax system are huge. Estimates for the United States, whose tax regime, despite government efforts, put the costs of compliance, administration and enforcement between 10 percent and 20 percent of revenue collected. This sum is equivalent to between one-quarter and one-half of the government's budget deficit. And many countries have even higher maintenance costs. According to Hall and Rabushka (1995), the flat tax would save taxpayers hundreds of billions in direct and indirect compliance costs (Hall and Rabushka, 1995). It would also transfer billions of dollars from investments that reduce taxes to those that produce goods and services."

Abstract
This paper explains that initiating a flat-rate tax would greatly simplify taxation in the United States, thereby freeing up time and capital spending on compliance with tax codes. The author points out that decreases in marginal taxes will increase incentives to produce and will funnel money away from non-economically productive investments designed to minimize taxes. The paper relates that one of the most common criticisms concerning the implementation of a flat tax rate is that it will harm lower-income households, while not greatly affecting higher income Americans.

Conclusion
From the Paper
"Importantly, the flat tax system is economical and efficient simply as a result of its ease to administer and comply with. A flat tax system reduces the hassles and burdens of compliance to a complex graduated system. This reduces the burden on taxpayer, the tax collector, as well as the accountant. While a flat tax system will ultimately reduce the demand for accountant's and lawyer's services, it will free a large numbers of Americans from time-intensive taxation issues. Higgins argues that a flat tax system will save about two billion hours per year in filling out forms and keeping records. Further, the $200 billion needed to comply with current tax codes will be significantly reduced. As such, these Americans can presumably funnel this extra time into making more money, thus ultimately improving consumer spending and stimulating the economy."

Abstract
This paper takes a close look at the concepts of the flat tax and looks at its possible benefits and potential failings. Although there is a basic format of the flat tax, there are multiple flat tax proposals that have been offered by conservatives. Along with critiquing the basic format, this paper compares and contrasts the different flat tax proposals.
From the Paper
"The United States tax system is in complete disarray. Republicans and Democrats agree that the current tax code is complex, unfair, and costly. The income tax system is so complex; the IRS publishes 480 tax forms and 280 forms to explain the 480 forms (Armey). The main reason the tax system is so complex is because of the special preferences such as deductions and tax credits. Complexity in the current tax system forces Americans to spend 5.4 billion hours complying with the tax code, which is more time than it takes to manufacture every car, truck and van produced in the United States (Armey). Time is not the only thing that is lost with the current tax system; Americans also lose great deal of money complying with the taxes. Resources that are currently wasted on record keeping, filing forms, learning the tax code, litigation, and tax avoidance. The cost of complying with the current tax code totals about $200 billion annually, or $700 for every man, woman, and child in America (Armey 1). The overwhelming consensus that the current tax system is inadequate has ignited the search for tax reform. There are numerous proposals for tax reform; one particular proposal is the idea of a national flat rate income tax. The idea is to replace the current income tax with a single rate that everyone pays."

From the Paper
"The sample size selected represents the sample most relevant in this case, as comprehensive information was gathered from previous studies directing the researcher to the correct sample size and population demographics for this particular study. The researchers make logical conclusions and the study presents multiple implications for future research in the health care arena. The research conclusions may apply to multiple patients facing educational barriers to healthcare screening and treatment. This research suggests that nursing practice would benefit by understanding the needs of divergent populations and accommodating their educational and informational needs accordingly. Knowledge about a particularly groups beliefs and concerns that may prevent adequate treatment can help guide nursing protocols and patient delivery in the future. "

Abstract
Although it has been practiced in industry for at least thirty years, drug screening or testing of applicants for jobs or current employees or both continues to raise both constitutional issues and issues of appropriateness in the workplace. The purpose of this paper is to explore the association between drug screening and workplace morale. It examines whether trust levels are affected and whether employees and prospective employees tend to seek alternative employment where drug screening is not performed. A critical literature review examines the opposing viewpoints on drug screening in the workplace. Tables and graphs are included

From the Paper
"Group morale is essentially equivalent to the common notion of "team spirit", or that which makes group members want the organization to succeed. It is reflected in the quality of interpersonal relationships on the job, desire to be present at work with the team, and desire to remain with that organization instead of leaving. In workplaces with low morale, we find workers in personality conflicts, unacceptably high levels of absenteeism, and excessive turnover. Acceptable rates of turnover can vary from company to company; sales organizations, for example, expect a certain amount of "revolving door" activity, as it is in the nature of commission salespeople to seek greener pastures!"

Abstract
This paper discusses how granny flats, a colloquial term often used for accessory second dwelling units, are best described as the converted use of space in a residential home into a small apartment. It examines how in California most often this means converting part or all of a garage into an apartment or flat and how the advantages of converting the extra space into living units is often in providing a source of income for the owners of the house. It evaluates how the State of California requires that local governments allow second dwelling units in single-family districts. It looks at how granny flats mostly meet the same housing construction and safety codes of more traditional housing. It shows how they offer low-cost alternatives to apartments for those on a fixed income such as the elderly or those with disabilities who are receiving assistance. In addition they are an alternative to warehousing older generation Americans who cannot afford to live independently.
From the Paper
"Ordinances vary widely from city to city in the state. Many municipalities have tried in the past to severely regulate the use of granny flats by their residents. California Court of Appeal struck down just such an attempt in Santa Monica, which had an ordinance on the books that restricted, who can live in second units in single family residential zones. The court found that the ordinance it violated both privacy and equal protection rights. The ordinance restricted occupancy to dependents and caretakers. It was approved by the City Council at the urging of residents, in spite of legal warnings from attorneys as well as City staff."

Abstract
This paper explains that given the magnitude of the issue, it is essential that clinics, schools, juvenile detention centers and medical clinics have screening instruments at hand that quickly and accurately evaluate potential or present abuse or dependency conditions in the populations they serve. The paper defines the criteria that make a screening instrument for AAOD use valuable. The author lists the most up-to-date instruments available, gives a brief description of the applicability of each and reviews the critical literature that evaluates their respective reliability and validity.

From the Paper
"The majority of AAOD screening instruments rely on the subject to self-report the history and extent of his or her substance use, primarily for lack of any other method of attaining the information. Some instruments, particularly those that are designed primarily for younger children, also require the input of a parent or guardian; however, the degree of validity of the adult?s perceptions has been widely regarded by clinicians as somewhat low. A study which tracked a cohort of young children for twenty-five years through to adulthood, measuring the relationship of alcohol use to school dropout incidence, found that the child?s first-grade teacher typically had a clearer view of potential behavioral problems than did the parent."

From the Paper
"Genetic screening itself is simply "the systematic search within a population for persons possessing particular genotypes, which are either associated with disease, predisposing to disease, or leading to disease in descendants" (Miller). In simpler terms, genetic screening involves testing and determining whether "an individual's genetic material to predict present or future disability or disease either for oneself or one's offspring" (McCarrick). Essentially, genetic screening is conducted for several basic reasons, including the care of the ill and the prevention of disease, providing reproductive information, determining the incidence of disorders in the general population, and research (Miller)."

Abstract
This paper analyzes the issues that occurred in the Mazda plant in Flat Rock, Michigan which were created due the cultural difference in management style and work ethic between the Japanese and American workers. It examines the reasons why serious personnel issues occurred and outlines a plan for transforming the culture at Flat Rock and making the plant more productive. It also looks at how the roles of training and organizational development influence organizational performance.
From the Paper
"One reason why issues were created at Flat Rock was because of the instability in management. This instability occurred because of the conflict between Japanese and American management over the business philosophy being used. Four top U.S. managers had left the company due to a feeling of ?being left out of the information network? (Dessler, 2000). This lack of communication trickled all the way down to the floor, which created dissention among employees and reduced productivity. The poor communication, which contributed to poor production, created a downward spiral for Mazda in which they did not recover."
