" THE NATIONAL ENQUIRER AS DEFENDANT
This research paper examines and evaluates the experience of
The National Enquirer (The Enquirer) in defending itself in cases involving claims that the tabloid has libeled persons mentioned
in its articles or otherwise violated their legal rights. The Enquirer has avoided thus far large liabilities because: (1) it has ably defended its interests, including settling most difficult cases; (2) state and federal courts have generally ruled in favor of The Enquirer because of certain decisions of the United States Supreme Court relating to the First Amendment rights of the press; and (3) plaintiffs have encountered certain.."

From the Paper
" The National Enquirer has a remarkable track record for avoiding libel suits using a combination of First Amendment freedoms, aggressive lawyering, and patience. In recent years, however, the newspaper has been sued successfully by several celebrities over stories that were shown to be false. The National Enquirer's main office is a structure on South East Coast Avenue in Lantana, Florida that resembles a school building. However, the flamboyant newspaper has built its reputation on hyperbole rather than straight, scholarly fact. Generoso Pope, Jr., a former C.I.A. operative, is its founding owner. He purchased the paper, then known as the New York Enquirer, in 1952. He made it famous and successful by stressing the lurid and bizarre details of crime stories and by the use of lots of celebrity gossip. The paper publishes about.."

From the Paper
"Recent and current malpractice problems have had a decisive effect on both citizens and on the medical profession. This is true because malpractice suits have risen alarmingly in the past few years to raise the cost on insurance for doctors and alert the public to the possibility of malpractice.
Certain cases have also resulted in awards of remarkable sums of money to the victims. One such case that involved 45 lawsuits filed against Dr. Leon William Bleiberg in southern California is an example. By the end of 1974 at least 19 of them had been concluded, either by settlement or by verdicts against Bleiberg so that damages reported were over $1 million. The doctor had prevailed in two early cases and one had been dropped by the plaintiff. By the time 23 remained, the awards for damages had reached the $200,000 level. Total damages ... "

Blood Libel and the Jews in the High Middle Ages, 2004.
The cause and implications of the emergence of Blood Libel on the Jews in the High Middle Ages
2,507 words (approx. 10.0 pages), 11 sources, MLA, $ 76.95
»

Abstract
This paper provides an overview and background of how accusations of Blood Libel against Jews during the High Middle Ages in the European and Islamic worlds were used to persecute them. It also identifies what was the catalyst for charges of Blood Libel against the Jews in the High Middle Ages. A summary of the research is provided in the conclusion.
From the Paper
"Throughout their history, the Jewish people have experienced periodic episodes of persecution based on the differences, both perceived and otherwise, between themselves and others, without the need to add any fuel to these cultural fires. When the Jews became implicated in the execution of Jesus Christ, however, they also assumed the unfortunate additional mantle of being responsible for the death of the Son of God, in what many Christians term "Christ-killers." This additional burden has been supplanted by the Jewish people's "blood libel," reflecting the Jews' alleged sacrifice of Christian children at Passover in order to obtain blood for unleavened bread. These charges, and others, were used at times during the High Middle Ages to justify Christian persecution of the Jews."

Abstract
This paper discusses the evolution of the women's business suit. It begins by discussing the development of women's jackets from as far back as 1550. It looks at their function and practicality, as well as their fashion and stylishness. The paper particularly focuses on the role of the women's suit in business and the messages that it conveys.
From the Paper
"Today in her speech before an assembled audience of women leaders, even the editor of a women's fashion magazine, Glamour, wears a conservative suit, not one of the pastel confections of the 1950s. Everyone in the audience, all women wear suits. "To look professional and be taken seriously, you need to wear a jacket," is the testimony one style consultant (Givhan, 2006). Granted, women's business attire has become more "relaxed, more feminine and more flattering," since the 1970s, taking into consideration the different shapes of a women's form. Just as women no longer have to prove themselves to be the same as men to succeed in the boardroom, women no longer have to dress exactly like men to be taken seriously. But although dresses "might be ideal for a dinner or luncheon," they "are not favored by women looking to flash a little power" (Givhan, 2006). A suit jacket continues to exude power, and while it can be sexy and feminine, today no professional women's wardrobe is complete without a business suit."

Oracle E-Business Suite.
This paper discusses Oracle Technologies' Oracle E-Business Suite and its implementation in the financial sector as represented by industry leader, J.P. Morgan Chase.

Abstract
This paper explains that the businesses value of the application of Oracle E-Business Suite to J.P. Morgan is implementing the basic capabilities of the application in integrating and assimilating financial data about customers and markets. The author suggests that some improvements to the existing application might be to make it less flexible and less easily applicable to other systems, which would give Oracle more exclusivity, given its ubiquity to the Internet age. The paper relates that some of the selling points of Oracle's contribution to the business sector and some of the reasons J.P. Morgan uses it includes a more holistic analysis of its overall image, its application to a variety of systems and industries, and its compatibility with other existing systems.
From the Paper
""The E-Business Suite is "purveyed through industry-leading independent software vendor (ISV) applications running on high-performing, scalable Oracle technology." Before, at JP Morgan, back-office applications that captured data for analysis were disaggregated and put into data silos rather than integrated. It became clear that financial institutions on the cutting edge of the industry, such as JP Morgan desired to be, must rely upon better integrated data in order to meet demands from regulators and customers, and to deliver the performance shareholders demanded in increasingly competitive times."

Wal-Mart Loses Legal Suit about Work Breaks, 2007.
This paper discusses how Wal-Mart lost a law suit in Pennsylvania regarding work breaks.

Abstract
In this article, the writer discusses Wal-Mart's legal loss in a suit in Pennsylvania regarding work breaks and off the clock labor. The writer explores the legal issue and examines the law that applies. Further, the writer presents an analysis of the case. The writer concludes that the weakness of Wal-Mart's case, despite its insistence it will appeal, is further underlined by the fact that it could not deny that some employees were not compensated for their breaks. The writer also notes that Wal-Mart maintains that there should be less of a financial settlement given to the wronged employees than was ultimately awarded.
From the Paper
"For example, according to the federal Fair Labor Standards Act as well as Pennsylvania law, overtime pay should equate to one and a half times an employee's regular rate of pay for all hours worked over forty hours during a regular workweek. However, because many Wal-Mart employees were forced to work more than the regular workweek, but because they were not officially on the clock, their extra labor was disregarded in violation of the Fair Labor Standards Act. It should be noted that a state could have more stringent or additional labor standards regarding the fair treatment of workers, but not less stringent standards than the federal government. The workers sued under Pennsylvania rather than federal law, but regardless of the venue, Wal-Mart's practices regarding overtime were in violation of both federal and state standards regarding overtime."

Articulating the Major Weaknesses in the Position
Describing How the Litigation Could be Avoided or Prevented
From the Paper
"The school failed to protect the child from harassment. It was brought to the administration's attention and nothing was done. Once students are on their buses, they might be off of the physical premises but they are still the responsibility of the school. After the bus pulls out of the school parking lot, the bus driver is in command. But, as many educators are well aware, drivers often need the support of school administrators in getting their passengers home safely."

TCP/IP Protocol Suite, 2002.
A brief overview of the TCP/IP Protocol Suite.
812 words (approx. 3.2 pages), 6 sources, APA, $ 28.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
TCP/IP is the acronym for Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol, which was originally established by the U.S. Department of Defense in 1993 to connect defense department computers with other computer networks.This paper shows that while for the average computer user, TCP/IP probably doesn?t mean a whole lot, except maybe when it comes to ?configuring? their computer so they can get online, without the TCP/IP protocol, the activity experienced on the internet up until this point would not be possible. This paper examines some of the components of the TCP/IP protocol and explores their uses as they apply to relevant parts of the internet.
From the Paper
"TCP and IP actually represent a family of many protocols, with TCP/IP being the common term used when speaking of any one of those protocols. For instance, different protocols allow computers to do different things such as transferring files or sending or receiving mail. One of the most important services of TCP/IP is the ability to transfer files, commonly referred to as FTP, which allows a user on one computer to get files or a part of a file from another computer. Another popular service TCP/IP allows is the remote logon, which allows a user to access to a network system from a computer at a remote location. Probably the most popular, or at least one of the most common, uses provided by TCP/IP is electronic mail. Other services TCP/IP offers are data formatting, encryption, and the transmission of binary data over a communications network."

»
Click here to show/hide summary
From the Paper
"In his musical drama Zoot Suit, playwright Luis Valdez fashions a theatrical experience around two dramatic elements: the historical event of the "Zoot Suit Riots" of 1943 and the commanding image of an icon-like narrator called "El Pachuco." The first is a largely-overlooked historical occurrence of blatant anti-Chicano racism that happened in Los Angeles during World War II. The second, El Pachuco, is a dramatic creation designed to combat the image of the stereotypical Chicano by overstereotyping. Valdez utilizes the Bertolt Brecht-influenced formula of the 1930s' "Living Newspaper" to recreate Zoot Suit's historical events in a presentational, agit-prop style (Huerta 15). In such a style, according to Mordecai Gorelik in New Theatres for Old, "Theatre is a tribunal" (378). That is, it is a deliberate "trial" wherein the playwright is the prosecutor ..."

"Changes in Libel Law
This paper will discuss recent changes in American libel law. Specifically, the text will analyze some of the more important U.S. Supreme Court cases which affected libel cases. Defamation is a concept which originated in the English common law. The First Amendment did not begin to influence defamation laws in the United States until very recently (Franklin, 1992, p. 74). Since cases like the New York Times Co. v. Sullivan, the U.S. Supreme Court has made a continued effort to determine the proper balance between the right of free communication and the right to protect reputation.
In New York Times Co. v. Sullivan, a police commissioner demanded a retraction against the New York Times newspaper for an advertisement that claimed the police tear-gassed an Alabama state college campus."

From the Paper
"Executive Summary
Gun control has been a contentious issue in American politics for some time. Government regulation of guns has long affected the gun industry and has raised issues of how government action can add to costs without assuring greater safety. Recently, several cities have undertaken a new approach by suing gun manufacturers for the way their product is used, extending the idea of product liability in the same way earlier litigation did with the tobacco industry. The cities want the manufacturers to reimburse them for health care costs associated with shootings. This has generated considerable controversy. Those opposed to gun regulations are of course against this sort of litigation, but even many supporters of gun control find that this is the wrong method for achieving their ends and that such..."
