Abstract
This paper examines two articles in the "Journal of Developmental and Behavioral Pediatrics" about Sudden Infant Death Syndrome. The articles, one written by Michael T. Adamson and the other by Hong-Moo Hahn, explore separate studies about the topic, and the author of this paper discusses various aspects of each article, as well as their merits.
From the Paper
"Each year in America thousands of parents walk into their infants room and discover that the child has died from Sudden Infant Death Syndrome. The tragedy shocks and baffles the medical community as it continues to search for answers not only to what causes the syndrome but also what parents can do to reduce the risk of it striking their child. Studies around the globe have been conducted to this end with mixed results."

From the Paper
"Drug abuse and addiction affects every American either directly or indirectly with the economic burden alone for drug abuse estimated to exceed $109 billion in the latest estimate. Scientific advances, particularly over the past decade, have catapulted both our understanding and our approaches to addiction. Research has in fact come to define addiction as a chronic, and for many people reoccurring disease characterized by compulsive drug seeking and use that results from the prolonged effects of drugs on the brain. A variety of studies in both humans and animals have demonstrated that chronic drug use does in fact change the brain in fundamental ways that persist long after the individual has stopped taking drugs. By using advanced brain imaging technologies we see what is believed to be the biological core of addiction. This paper will utilize the addiction process of Sid Caesar and present a prognosis of the process of addiction as a whole. (National household survey on drug abuse, preliminary results 1997)"

Abstract
This paper briefly reviews the contractual arrangement between Sid and Bob vis-a-vis an extension to the former's house. This paper argues that Bob entered into a legally-binding oral contract and he must provide some form of redress to Sid. The paper also suggests that a third-party, Ed, is not legally culpable for breaching a contract made between he and Bob.
From the Paper
"The law of the United Kingdom is understandably complex. This paper will examine one of the subtleties of British law by reviewing the case of Bob the Builder and his strained relationship with a former client. Specifically, this paper will examine the key issues of the case, any misrepresentation that resulted from the dealings between Bob and Sid, and provide a conclusion that sums up the case. In the final analysis, it may be said that this situation is a classic example of what happens when otherwise intelligent people fail to plan ahead. Let us first proceed by examining the steps that led up to the present situation. To begin with, Sid entered into an agreement with Bob whereby the latter promised to build an extension onto the former's home by December 15."

From the Paper
?The death of a child is one of the most tragic events that can enter a family's life? (Smith, 2004). Parents expect to outlive their children. It is the ?norm? for the children to attend the parent?s funeral, not the other way around. DeSpelder (2002) explains that ?the death of a child represents the unfinished, the untimely loss of a potential future?. Attitudes and trends towards death have changed immensely over the past century. In the past it was not uncommon for children to die at a young age. In fact, ?Over half of the deaths in 1900 occurred among children age fourteen and younger? (DeSpelder, 2002.) Death rates have most definitely taken a turn as of late however. DeSpelder states that ?now, less than 2 percent of deaths occur among this age group [age fourteen and younger]? (2002)."

Abstract
This is a comparison and contrast paper on the work of author Anthony Burgess and the film of Stanley Kubrick in "A Clockwork Orange" to the early 1970s movement in punk rock. In the film, the main character, an anti-social "punk" named Alex, is as memorable for his unique and exaggerated appearance as he is for his horrible behavior and crimes. In particular, the paper compares the novel/film main character of Alex, to "The Sex Pistols'" Sid Vicious.
From the Paper
"A Clockwork Orange has received little, if any, credit for either ushering in, or serving as the original concept for all things "punk." Rather, that distinction has gone to the Sex Pistols; although it is easy to visualize Sid Vicious and girlfriend Nancy Spungen lounging in a drug induced and wasted way in an expensive hotel room, appropriately trashed to punk pleasure by the pair, watching Kubrick's A Clockwork Orange. However, the horror and disgust of the Burgess/Kubrick character was played out on screen, not in life, as were the misguided antics of Sid Vicious. "
