Abstract
The paper shows that the increased globalization of companies has led to a dilemma for investors because accounting standards in various capital markets are not always reliable. It shows too that in an effort to increase the reliability of financial information in capital markets the SEC seeks to maintain the high quality of financial reporting in the U.S., while working towards establishing a high quality financial reporting structure worldwide. This paper summarizes the issues presented in the SEC?s concept release on International Accounting Standards. These issues include: the five elements of global financial reporting; exceptions to rules for foreign private issuers using accounting standards that differ from GAAP; and the three criteria for assessing the International Accounting Standards Committee.
From the Paper
"Rigorously interpreted and applied: The development of high standards does not ensure that the standards will be upheld. In order for the standards to be practiced consistently accountants have to understand the responsibility they have in applying these standards consistently and in a manner that is needed to ensure high quality. This understanding only comes when regulators including auditors, rigorously interpret and apply these standards to accounting standards around the globe. The SEC contends that IASC standards are not used in many capital markets, which makes it impossible for them to be interpreted or applied. In addition countries that do utilize IASC standards have yet to incorporate the new changes created by the IASC."

Abstract
This paper identifies those factors that can serve to reduce the potential for recidivism; to this end, there is a need to determine why people continue to break the law and return to the criminal justice system. It explains that, based on the failures of the system to date, it may be that criminal justice researchers do not take advantage of the existing statistical data to the maximum extent possible in order to provide intelligent reasoned recommendations concerning effective use of available resources. It is the position of this research project that, based on existing information concerning rates of recidivism, a survey form can be designed to help identify the potential for future criminal acts by prisoners in a pre-release status.
From the Paper
"Over the last 30 years the American prison population has grown dramatically, and upon release, many convicts return to crime as a way of life after serving their sentences (Schmalleger, 1995, p. 424). Probation and parole officers are overloaded with cases and cannot properly help or supervise all the people assigned to them, Many jails and prisons are severely overcrowded, and riots, beatings and killings occur frequently. The controversy over the role of the correctional system focuses on whether they should be rehabilitated. Some people believe the purpose of imprisoning offenders is to prevent them from committing more crimes. However, it is the position of this study that this prevention may only be temporary if researchers do not find out why convicts commit more crimes in the first place."

Abstract
This paper analyzes the many deciding factors in the ultimate deployment of the atom bomb. It documents the lead-up to the event and the politics behind it.
From the Paper
"The debate over the use of the atomic bomb has raged for years, and when it was dropped on Japan during World War II, some had doubts. There were many deciding factors in the ultimate deployment of the then world's most destructive force, and President Harry Truman was acutely aware of them all, but he felt "greatly disturbed over the unwarranted attack by the Japanese on Pearl Harbor and their murder of our prisoners of war. The only language they seem to understand is the one we have been using to bombard them. When you have to deal with a beast you have to treat him as a beast" (Wyden 294). The distrust of Russia, the great loss of American soldiers, the threat of losing public support, the refusal of Japan to surrender, and the enormous economic cost of building the bomb were all reasons that Truman had to weigh in his decision. But was it the right one?"

From the Paper
" The problem of what to do with the habitual sex offender has become a major issue in American society today and of vital interest in a society where the pictures of missing children adorn milk cartons, where more and more offenses against children are being reported in the media, and where the issue of repeat offenders has become a scandal. A number of children have been killed in recent years in media-featured cases where a sex offender who has been released from prison at the end of his sentence takes and kills another victim. Different states have imposed new laws and restrictions on sex offenders as a result, and one of the issues that has developed is the question of notification, whether the neighbors of a released sex offender should be told that the offender is in their midst. Traditionally, parole or release from prison has been a matter.."

Abstract
This paper examines the issue of aviation security following the terrorist attacks on September 11, 2001. Two communications in the form of press releases from the US Government Accountability Office (GAO) are examined and analyzed to show that aviation security after September 11, 2001 has significantly improved and changed, following the necessary policies that have been put in place. The paper identifies and outlines the changes that have been put in place and provides an objective analysis of the new policy changes after September 11, 2001, so as to use the content analysis to test the hypothesis surrounding aviation security. The paper includes a table showing examples of direct and indirect economic losses from September 11, and a pie chart using content analysis to identify trends regarding the weaknesses of aviation security.
From the Paper
"Aviation security relies heavily on the skill and expertise of personnel. The FAA and aviation industry have realized that there needs to be a reevaluation of airport personnel with specific focus on improving workers aptitudes, increased training, minimize turnover, and better wages GAO, 2006, 1). Dillingham stated that the FAA was implementing a number of actions and plans that addressed these issues directly; they included the development of an integrated action plan, certification programs which enhance training, and the use of machinery to help increase productivity. Most of these activities have post September 11 implementation dates. TSA training has also increased and changed form after September 11. Major elements of the change include forty (40) hours of classroom instruction and sixty (60) hours of on-the-job training, annual proficiency review of screeners, and establishing a basic screener training program, (Berrick, 2006, p 5). Again, these policy changes support the hypothesis being examined."

Releasing Health Care Information, 2004.
This paper discusses the administrative, ethical, and legal aspects of releasing health care information.

»

Abstract
This paper explains that the entire health care system in the United States is predicated on a well-established system of careful control of medical information that is afforded the highest degree of privacy and privilege. The author points out that the release of information pertains to all medical information with a personal identifier on a document of any sort, which can take the form of traditional paper-based medical records and forms, digital output stored in a hospital?s mainframe or a clinician?s desktop, and X-rays and their interpretations that are subject to release of information privacy protections. The paper concludes that, notwithstanding the ethical considerations involved, failure to exercise adequate security of such personal medical information or to comply with requests for information should carry serious consequences.

From the Paper
"Under HIPAA, all patients have the right to inspect, copy, and amend their health-care information; authorize or refuse to authorize its use; and receive a formal accounting of how their information is used. Infrastructural barriers must be used to block unauthorized access to a patient's medical data. The rule provides for civil monetary penalties of up to $25,000 for each standard violation as well as criminal penalties of up to 10 years imprisonment and/or a fine of up to $250,000. (104) The federal law represents a floor of protection for medical data; stricter state laws are not preempted. In addition to these, many other federal statutes may interact with HIPAA's privacy provisions."

From the Paper
"Freedom of the Press is embodied in the First Amendment to the Constitution, and the courts give great importance to this doctrine when weighing competing rights. However, another vitally important right is the right to a fair trial, and more and more, courts are being asked to consider which of these rights takes precedence in different cases. The press frenzy around recent major cases such as that of O.J. Simpson, the Unabomber, and the Oklahoma City bombing raised questions in the public about the ethics of the press in covering these trials. This is not a new issue, and forty years ago the excessive coverage of the first Sam Sheppard murder trial led to a reversal of his conviction and public censure of the press. In determining when press freedoms might impinge on such other cherished freedoms as the right to a fair trial, courts examine press ..."

"Introduction
In China, as in most totalitarian states, the press is really little more than another arm of the government. In the Beijing Spring of 1989, however, for a brief moment that dynamic changed. Whereas the usual opposition or rebellion movement would have no voice in or means to manipulate the press, the student democracy protestors in Tiananmen Square found themselves both gaining straightforward coverage from their national press and also able to participate in the process by granting interviews and attempting to manipulate the coverage. The reasons for this change are multifold, among the most important of these being the behind the scenes power struggle within the government, during which it relaxed its control of the information flow. This did not, however, mean that the students.."

Abstract
On October 2, 1952 the Chinese press - as evidenced in translated documents contained in the "Survey of the China Mainland Press" - was preoccupied by the opening of the Asian-Pacific Peace Conference in Peking (Beijing) almost to the exclusion of all other issues. However, even in the press excerpts from this conference, a number of subsidiary issues can be seen to manifest themselves.

Abstract
This paper explains that the societal changes, which occurred with the invention of the printing press in the 15th Century, are similar to the changes, which occurred with the invention of accessible home computers (PC) and the Internet during the last half of the 20th Century . The author points out that both the printing press and the computer and the Internet have decreased the size of the world by making it easier to share information with individuals around the world and to incorporate the work of others without redundantly repeating what has already been done. The paper concludes that the world has grown in that people are now able to reach further places with greater ease and can be more cognizant of the greater social context within the world.
From the Paper
"Perhaps the biggest ramification of the printing press was the Protestant Reformation. The ability of the Bible to be reproduced in mass quantities, and distributed to individuals, led to new interpretations of the meaning of the stories within the Bible. Previously, all interpretations of the Bible were made by priests who then re-told the stories of the Bible, in their own words, to the masses. These new interpretations led to individuals questioning the previous interpretations of the Bible."
