Abstract
This paper examines the reasons behind the social problem of teenage pregnancy and the relationship it has to poverty in New York City and offers possible solutions.
From the Paper
"Teenage pregnancy remains a social problem in the United States today. In the United States, 800,000 to 900,000 teens become pregnant each year. In a survey conducted in 1999 survey, 6 percent of high schoolers said they had either become pregnant or had gotten another pregnant during their high school years. (Ham) The incidence of pregnancy for teens between the ages of 11 to 13 increases in cities. Babies of teenage mothers often grow up in poverty, and in turn, become teenage mothers themselves. Girls born to teenage mothers are 83 percent more likely to have babies when they are teenagers, and teenage mothers are more than twice as likely as others their age to be on welfare.

Abstract
A study of the laws in New York and California, specifically their sex crime laws, shows that underneath the diverse shells, at the heart these two states are very similar. The paper shows that a shift in public opinion over the past several decades has brought a new version of regulations in both states and both New York and California have had to review what they once considered crimes. On top of this, grassroots organizations like Parents for Megan's Law - an influential group of parents intent on keeping their neighborhoods safe via registration of dangerous sex offenders - have forced legislatures to assess the anomie inherent in a growing society, and what effect it has on recidivism rates. The paper shows that the end result is a conglomeration of laws that marry restrictive with permissive, and gives New York and California top prize conjointly for forward thinking in the United States. Nonetheless, laws on the books in New York show a decidedly more restrictive bent, whereas California's laws lean toward the permissive, and the results are telling for which method is most effective.
From the Paper
"California had a head start over most of the United States in applying the spirit of Megan's Law to the sex offenders. Since 1944, California has made it compulsory for sex offenders to register their whereabouts with the state. As the state's population has grown and the community has become more transient, a lack of concrete normalcy in behavior has caused California to revisit its laws to include more deviant and unsettling conduct. One of the biggest adjustments to the laws already implemented was an internet presence intended to provide its residents with as easy, effective way to ferret out potential dangers in their neighborhoods. But according to the Office of the Attorney General of California, about one-quarter of convicted sex offenders are not listed there."

Abstract
This paper discusses and analyzes the topic of the C and C++ programming languages. Specifically, it discusses some common applications of the language. C, and its derivative, C++, two of the most commonly-used programming languages in the world. They are versatile, easy to work with, and help the programmer create complicated yet functional programs for the end-user.
From the Paper
"The C programming language was developed for large-scale applications, and it is still used extensively in the UNIX environment. It is also heavily utilized in computer games. Initially, C was developed to program and organize the UNIX operating system in the 1970s. As the language evolved, it was used (and still is used) extensively to program personal computers (PCs), and develop programs for them. Originally, C was developed for use in applications that had little space for memory. C uses very little memory, and so it was perfect for these applications. As one expert writes about the language, "Yet it was designed to allow programmers to do heavy-duty 'systems' programming, working on such basic software plumbing as operating systems, compilers, and the like" (Lohr 79). Many experts have compared C to FORTRAN, because it opened up a whole wealth of applications in higher-level languages. FORTRAN gave the programmer the opportunity to program larger machines with bigger programs, especially in engineering and scientific applications."

Abstract
This paper reviews the life and history of Mark Antony, born Marcus Antonius. The paper discusses how, thanks to the works of famous writers like Plutarch and Shakespeare, Mark Antony has become a legend. The paper further discusses how his actions following Julius Caesar's death in 44 B.C. and his exploits with Queen Cleopatra have made him interesting reading and a source of entertainment for centuries. However, behind the many stories, there was a man who was a brave general, loyal supporter, dedicated Roman and ardent lover.
From the Paper
"While Caesar was fighting in Egypt and Africa to defeat the last of Pompey's forces, Antonius was given the distinction of being made Master of the Horse (fact). His role was to be a politician and administrator in Italy while Caesar was out of the country. Unfortunately for him, Antonius was not good in that role and was removed in 47 B.C. and even banished from Caesar's sight for two years (unrv). Nevertheless, Antonius was able to work his way back into Caesar's circle; in 44 B.C. he was the one to offer the crown to Caesar, a circumstance much celebrated in the first act of Shakespeare's play, Julius Caesar (unrv)."

Rock-n-Roll History, 2005.
A comparison of today's rock-n-roll with the original rock-n-roll music.

Abstract
This paper compares the stars and music of today's rock-n-roll to the stars and music of yesterday's rock-n-roll. The paper points out that while early rock-n-roll music and its stars wrote and performed original music with social messages, today's rock-n-roll songs and performers are unoriginal and express no social consciousness.
From the Paper
"As a way of setting the cultural stage for the process of comparing and contrasting newer musical groups with older rock groups - since music reflects culture in the same way literature does - it is worth taking a look to see if "The Times (have been) A-Changin," (or how much they have been changing) as Bob Dylan wrote in the Sixties. The times have changed from yesterday's consistently progressive, liberal, and into social change activities, to today's more "party-oriented" young people who espouse a more conservative brand of politics and enjoy music that tends toward the predictable and bland."

Abstract
In 2004, John M. McHugh won the race for representation of the 23rd District of the State of New York in the U.S. House of Representatives. This paper analyzes McHugh?s campaign finance record, particularly with respect to the 2004 election. The paper also analyzes the contributions of specific Political Action Committees (PACs).
From the Paper
"The trends in McHugh?s fundraising record show that the majority of his money comes from PACs, but a substantial amount also comes from individuals. Also, in the first two House election cycles in which he ran, he raised substantially less money than he did in later years. I propose that this is due to the fact that as time went on, he became better established both in Washington and as a liaison to his district. His establishment within Washington and within his district allowed him to raise more money than his challenger, and this is why, in short, he prospered at the polls (Mann 75)."

Abstract
This paper argues that the ideal challenger would be able to take advantage of the demographic, political, and social features of the 23rd District. A summary of these features is included. The ideal candidate would also be a well-connected, politically established contender with a minimum of $700,000 in campaign funds. The reasoning behind this is explained.
From the Paper
"I will begin by introducing the social and political conditions within the twenty-third district, after Jacobson (17). The majority of the twenty-third district is white (approximately 93%), with the following minority groups accounting for about five percent of the vote each: Italians, Eastern Europeans, and Jews (Hoyt, Hughes and Daly). The twenty-third district is also the largest district in the state of New York, consisting of areas in 11 counties and with an overall low population density (McHugh). The total population of the district is 654,361. Electronics, manufacturing, and higher education are the major industries, although the region is predominantly rural (Getler, McHugh). The median household income is $35,434 (Hughes and Daly). There are a large number of married citizens (over 50% in 1999) in this district as well as a substantial number of elderly citizens (15% age 65+ in 1999) [Getler]. The region can also be divided up by class: 54% of workers are ?white collar? and 27% ?blue collar,? according to the Washington Post. On the whole, the district ?leans marginally Republican [Getler]."

Abstract
This report examines landfill methods and techniques in the New York metropolitan Area, offering a comparison of landfill techniques in the area, an assessment of the chemical makeup of the most common wastes and the presence of heavy metals, their uses and dangers, and the issues related to cakes and pellets. An annotated bibliography of the most critical sources used in the report (along with unannotated sources of a less critical nature) are included.
From the Paper
"Cities and counties are often confronted with a major problem when it comes to dealing with their solid waste. On the one hand, they are feeling pressure to reduce the volume of waste going to landfills; on the other, building and operating landfills is an expensive proposition these days (American City and County, 1, p. 40). Waste managers are confronted with these conflicting pressures as well as a functional environment in which increasing regulation coupled with financial pressure to make waste management an increasingly difficult, complex, and even tension-laden task.
Nowhere in the United States is this set of problems more difficult than in the New York Metropolitan area. Peter L. Grogan (p. 75) recently reported that the City faces a serious waste disposal problem; it is expected that the major landfill which has served the area for many decades, the Fresh Kills landfill, will be closed soon, and no suitable land for new landfills in the area has been identified. Recycling to reduce landfill-bound wastes has been attempted, but few positive results have as yet been reported. Consequently, the New York City Metropolitan area faces significant challenges now and in the future in this regard."

From the Paper
"This research will examine United States media coverage of the People?s Republic of China for the month of April 1999. The research will set forth the context in which media coverage of China has become relevant to an understanding of how American press organizations function and then discuss the amount, placement, point of view, level and kind of bias, and general themes that can be discerned in the coverage given China by newspapers of record.
The visit of Chinese Premier Zhu Rongji to the United States in April 1999 provides a contextual hub for examination of China coverage by the New York Times and the Los Angeles Times. Zhu visited the White House and President Clinton on April 8, and in the weeks both before and after the visit both newspapers dealt with U.S.-China relations from a variety of perspectives. The first..."

Abstract
This paper defines "array" as a type of data structure that can contain multiple items, all of the same kind. An array can also be defined as any variable type, that can form the basis of an array definition. Arrays are used to pass on information and are applied to various types of computer programming such as C and C++ assembly language as well as Pascal, one of the earliest programming languages. Higher level languages such as COBOL and the Pick family of languages use arrays as well. This paper details in technical terms the advantages and disadvantages in using arrays in programming. In computer programming, arrays are used anytime a collection of strings needs sorting or analysis. This would include most business uses. Arrays are helpful in electronic data interfacing as well.

From the Paper
"Borland C++ for Dummies calls Arrays, "Arrays of Hope". Michael Hyman goes on to say that the great thing about arrays is that each element in the array has a number, called an index, that you can use to easily access the information in that element. You can also use loops to look at all the elements (or a range of elements) in a particular array. The array index lets you access any of the items in the array immediately. This makes random access much faster than using lists for storing information." COBOL programming uses lists or tables to store information and its access time is much slower than C. On the other hand, Pick Systems use Arrays to store strings the same way that C and C++ does. This automatic data base language also uses loops to read and print strings the same as C does."

Author V.C Andrews, 2005.
This paper discusses writing styles especially of author V.C Andrews.
1,450 words (approx. 5.8 pages), 4 sources, MLA, $ 48.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper explains that there are many different styles of writings which are developed from the author's appropriate word choice, varied rhythm, effective placement and choice of modifiers, appropriate transitions, effective and creative use of punctuation, variation of sentence length and a logical hierarchical placement of detail. The author examines the style of V.C Andrews by using a paragraph from her books "Flower's in the Attic", "Heaven" and "My Sweet Audrina". The paper relates that, while Andrews was alive, she only finished six books but her family hired a ghost writer by the name of Andrew Neiderman. However, the author feels that there is a difference between her writing style and that of her ghost.
Table of Contents
Definition of Style
V.C Andrews' "Flower's in the Attic"
V.C Andrews' "Heaven"
V.C Andrews' "My Sweet Audrina"
Ghost Writer Andrew Neiderman
From the Paper
"Yes, I do believe his work is very good. He can still see feel the anguish of what they are going through. But I don't think his writings are as dramatic as Andrews. He doesn't use the every day language and modifiers as she does. I think in a way they do portray the same things. For example, all of the main characters want to be happy, instead it takes a long time for that to happen. And in the process, several of the other character's are destroyed, with no intent on the main character. Something always happens to the one who is terrifying the main character."

Abstract
This paper is on nursing and hepatitis C. A discussion is presented in the general area of hepatitis and more thoroughly on hepatitis C. Symptoms and treatment programs are discussed along with what the nurse's role is in treating hepatitis c patients. Suggestions are made in order to break the cycle of a viral disease that has no cure today.
From the Paper
"Broadly defined hepatitis is an inflammation of the liver with viral or non-viral causes. is As a non-bacterial disease Viral hepatitis is caused by a microscopic organism that multiplies rapidly within human cells and causes diseases such as mumps, hepatitis, measles, rubella, and chickenpox. Unfortunately this particular disease is not treatable through those antibiotics generally prescribed to treat bacteria caused diseases such as meningitis, pneumonia, scarlet fever, E.coli, and other bacteria related infections. The focus of this paper will be one of the viral diseases known as hepatitis with respect to diagnosis, treatment, prevention, and the nursing profession. Hepatitis and Hepatitis C. All forms of Hepatitis can cause an elevated disease state; however, the symptomatic indicators are generally flu-like conditions, gray fecal matter, color, jaundiced colored skin, very dark urine, diarrhea, and possible vomiting and sever abdominal pain."

From the Paper
"The research showed that the ability to identify male-specific DNA renders polymorphic Y-chromosomal sequences an invaluable addition to the standard panel of autosomal loci used in forensic genetics. Y-STR haplotyping is particularly important for sensitive typing of male DNA in mixed stains as well as for rapid assortment of biological crime scene evidence. Moreover, Y chromosomal profiling can trace back paternal lineages into the past and has thus been proven a useful tool in genealogical and kinship testing. The research also showed that the individuality of the male-specific part of the Y chromosome can be optimally explored by the Y-STR haplotype analysis using a set of highly variable short tandem repeat markers approved by the forensic and scientific community."
