Abstract
This paper proposes a research design to study issues related to training based on interaction with sites on the World Wide Web (WWW or Web). Literature relevant to Web-based training is reviewed in support of the proposed research study. The paper shows that the primary focus of the proposed research study is not on the specifics of the technologies involved in Web-based training, although the technology applied is of obvious importance to the training mission. Rather, the primary focus of the proposed study is on the ways in which training may be adapted to benefit from innovations in information technology (IT) and the advantages such adaptation may provide for both organizations and trainees. The study addresses three functional areas: human resources (which is responsible for training), development (which is responsible for acquiring and maintaining the new technologies that web-based training depends upon) and management (which is responsible for ensuring that these new training techniques and technologies are properly implemented).
From the Paper
"As mentioned above, success, in this study, will not be a function of the utility of any training program. Rather, it will be based on the acceptance of the system by trainees. A successful training system is defined as one in which the trainees express both a comfort with and a willingness to use the web-based aspects of the system.
Web-based training is an extension of computer-based training which takes advantage of the immediacy of the World Wide Web and the ability to reach large numbers of people at the same time regardless of where they are located. Intranets are also being built to use Web-based training; these are ideal for employee training where outsiders are unlikely to have need to access the same information. Web-based training can be an expensive form of training to implement, and training professionals should not overlook critical parts of training programs such as designing an appropriate curriculum and ensuring that the information is up-to-date. Providing a way for students to evaluate the training program is also essential if Web-based training is to be effective."

Abstract
Interval training is a concept wherein a person works out at a medium to high intensity for a specified period of time or distance and then reduces the exercise intensity for an equal period of time or distance. A 1997 study found that splitting training tasks into intervals or repetitions will increase the amount of oxygen consumed and needed to be repaid after each unit when compared to performing the same distance at the same workload in a continuous or steady exercise regimen. The paper explains that intermittent, or interval, training tasks were found to place a greater load on the oxygen transport system than do continuous tasks This study investigates the effects of interval versus steady (continuous) training on endurance performance. The paper includes detailed tables.

From the Paper
"The creatine phosphate pool provides a buffer for the rapid supply of ATP for the work of contraction, as well as a link to the cellular sources of ATP. Depending on the type of muscle fiber, this cellular ATP is produced by one or both of two common biochemical pathways?glycolysis (anaerobic) and the citric acid cycle (aerobic). The aerobic pathway is the most efficient off the two; however, when muscle activity level reaches approximately 70 percent of the maximum possible level, aerobic metabolism no longer is able to supply the muscle with a sufficient supply of ATP. At this point, the anaerobic metabolism pathway begins to function. The anaerobic pathway works more quickly, although less efficiently, than the aerobic pathway, and thus can supply large amounts of ATP that are stored in the muscle itself (24)."

Abstract
This paper researches the opportunity, execution, and design process for computer and internet-based training applications. It looks at strategies and techniques for technical training, the advantages to businesses of computer-based and Internet-based training, and the best methods for building and managing a multimedia, e-learning delivery system.
From the Paper
"Computer-based training (CBT) instruction is a diverse and rapidly expanding spectrum of computer technologies that can assist in teaching and learning particular skills or processes. In our modern society, the advantages provided by CBT enable bossiness?s to custom structure training procedures to their individual learner, and thereby reduce the time commitment, and expense of training classes. When an individual learner can learn at their own pace, without affecting the progress of teaching resources of an entire class, the learner becomes the master of his destiny. The learner can access CBT at their own pace, and often at various locations. The learner is free to use his or her own strength, and quickly proceed through exercises which they find simple, and spend more time on those lessons which do not fit well with the learner?s initial understanding."

Abstract
The case study proposed in this prospectus discusses the possibilities offered by the internet for the training of unskilled labor. It shows how the internet can be used to educate and train those persons without readily marketable skills. It also shows how such individuals can enter the job market via the internet, interacting with potential employers, and obtaining those positions that best match their new skills. Also examined, are the potential drawbacks of internet job training and placement, and how these various drawbacks can be overcome. The case study focuses on unskilled workers of many backgrounds, including non-native speakers of English, persons with varying levels of primary and secondary education and also varying levels of English literacy and basic mathematical ability. Individuals are tracked through from their current employment and economic situations to a point one year after their completion of the training program. Their relative conditions are compared and it is from these comparisons that the successes and strong points of the program are determined, and also those areas which require improvement or emendation.
From the Paper
"A perennial problem in modern, post-industrial society is the condition of unskilled workers. In the United States, as in Canada, Australia, Asia, and Western Europe the unskilled form a seemingly permanent underclass. These are individuals who lack the education and the training to benefit from the current economy and technology. They are excluded from high-paying jobs, and even for the most part, those jobs that pay a living wage and offer steady employment. Such persons find what work they can at fast food restaurants, discount chains, and so forth, and as manual laborers and hired hands. Rarely covered by medical insurance, they are frequently compelled to leave their jobs or go into debt in cases of medical emergency. Many of these individuals are recent immigrants, and have little or no command of the English language. This too greatly limits their ability to take on better-paying jobs, and to advance in the job market. Even many native-born Americans suffer from the inability to read or write adequately. Illiteracy limits their choices, and narrows the scope of their opportunities. They are flesh-and-blood examples of the failings of the American educational system, poverty-stricken citizens imprisoned in the slums and housing projects of America?s cities and in the backwaters of her countryside. Despite numerous federal, state, and private programs, they have fallen through the safety net, and remain at the bottom of American society. Economically disadvantaged, socially disadvantaged, and often the victims of ethnic and racial prejudice as well, they seem destined to remain in their current sad state forever if something is not done soon. Yet there is help. There must be help, and it can be found in the world of the new technologies from which these individuals have been for so long excluded. The Internet can help the welfare mother in inner-city Chicago and the Mexican gardener in rural Michigan as much as it can help wealthy entrepreneur on Lakeshore Drive, and the comfortable professor in Ann Arbor."

Over-training Syndrome
From the Paper
"As pointed out above, early detection is the key to keeping the syndrome in check. Similarly, athletes should be aware of their tendencies and realize if they are prone to overtraining. The types of athletes who are most susceptible are single-sport athletes who focus on a very specific movement and who bring to their training an ambitious, focused, almost obsessive intensity. Athletes who are at risk with such characteristics fall into a risk profile and they must therefore monitor their own activities, along with their coaches, so that they do not overtrain."

Abstract
This paper asserts that police training on deadly force is a necessary prerequisite for social order and to maintain the efficiency and integrity of the security forces. This paper discusses the necessary components of police training on deadly force, how it can benefit society, and whether police training is an organizational or social issue. The paper also presents a comprehensive model of police training on deadly force based on the best practices presented by the literature. It is clear that there are many issues surrounding training for the police force in relation to deadly force; however this paper shows that it is a necessary facet of the overall humanitarian and peace-keeping initiative and should not be viewed as an extra process aimed at increasing bureaucracy. Lastly, this paper highlights the major elements of the training program that are necessary, while simultaneously highlighting aspects of the political, social, and economic environment that either pose an opportunity or threat to the proposed training initiative on deadly force.

From the Paper
"State sponsored terrorism is two-tiered, many developed countries like the United States and United Kingdom, practice it for strategic reasons, that is, there is no religious affiliation, nor is there a general notion, that there is a need to have war in with certain states. However, there is a clear economic need, which then transfers into a need to have political allegiance with these states; hence without being physically present it is necessary to have alliances with groups that can promote the interests of the United States. Is this wrong? Should it even be called terrorism, or is it just a company take-over, where the country in question is the state? For example in the 1980's the United States was convicted of unlawful force due to their support of terrorist force in Nicaragua, this was a clear cut case of state sponsored terrorism, and highlights the dynamics of how intricate it can be."

"Most organizations recognize the value of training; however, the contemporary business environment, as a consequence of globalization and other factors, dictates that these organizations structure training in the most cost-efficient way possible (?Training Trends to Cost Effectiveness,? 1997). For some organizations, the most cost-effective approach to obtaining high-quality training is through outsourcing, which increasingly may involve Internet-based training. Many organizations outsourcing training have ?been impressed with the results. Rather than keeping program designers, administrators and trainers on staff, they have worked with outside trainers who act as an off-site training department. These off-site providers partner with clients to perform a whole range of duties from assessing training needs, to designing appropriate solutions and providing administrative support."

Conclusion
From the Paper
"Presentation methods are those in which trainees are passive recipients of information. This information may include facts, information, processes, and problem-solving ideas. The two major presentation methods are lectures and audiovisual techniques. A lecture involves communication through spoken words. Major advantages of the lecture method are that it is inexpensive, doesn't consume very much time, and is effective in large groups of trainees. There are several variations to the lecture method. The standard lecture involves the trainer talking while employees listen. Team teaching involves two or more trainers presenting different topics or different views on the same topic. Guest speakers visit the session for a set time period and conduct the primary training. Panels involve two or more speakers presenting information and asking questions. "

"An organization is a community. Social interactionists conceive a community as a social group, and that within the community as a social group, individuals develop both their own self-concept and individual identity through social interactions within the community structure (Levine, 1991). Identity refers to self-meanings in a role. Roles are shared norms applied by occupants of social positions. This development, according to social interactionists, allows a person to move from a personal perception of ?I? (the spontaneous self) to a personal perception of ?Me? (the social self), through a role taking behavior wherein the person assumes the role of the generalized other. Through this behavioral process, the person derives meanings from the nonverbal actions and verbal statements of significant others within the community structure."

From the Paper
"Training is one of the most critical aspects of a company?s operations, yet it is also one of the most problematic. Companies, particularly large organizations, must develop ways to ensure that existing and new employees receive information that they need to perform their jobs at the appropriate time and in an appropriate manner. Timing, however, is critical. The employees should not receive the information too soon or too late. If the former occurs, employees may forget the information, while in the latter event, a strong probability exists that employees will have already learned the material in a less effective manner.
Companies commit a significant portion of their resources to recruiting employees, and additional resources are invested in providing those employees with the tools necessary for them to perform their tasks. The environment of most organizations, however, is a dynamic one, and it is critical that individual employees be kept up to date on developments within their industry and their profession in order to help give the company a competitive edge (Davis, 1996). Companies use training in order to accomplish this outcome."

Abstract
This paper reports on a study to verify whether training can help organizations and uses a questionnaire to collect empirical data. The author points out that the survey will help identify specific benefits and trends because organizations, like people, have their own individuality and style, and no blue print can be considered a universal fit for all organizations. The paper relates that replacing a skilled and trained employee can be very expensive for an organization in terms of time and money; therefore, organizations are increasingly using training and higher education options in their benefits packages to obtain and retain talent in the organization.

"Within organizations, the Human Resource Department, in conjunction with other departments, play an important role in training and preparing the workforce. Training the worker is very challenging and complex. New technology, techniques and organizational structures constantly influence organizations. When changes are made, training is necessary to make everybody in the organization aware of these changes. The Trainer becomes an important conduit in the entire process."

Conclusion
From the Paper
"The civilian police officer is usually on the front lines, making sure that peace is kept, both internationally and nationally. Training for the CP has emerged as ineffective and not useful as times have changed. Terrorists do not care how they kill or maim, as long as their message gets out. The CP must apply all new challenges and solutions based on their training. Training is key when the CP arrives first on the scene to assess damage and try to control it. Training within the organization should not be influenced by cultural disparities or different mind-sets. Each person brings with them a set of core values, but if applied correctly, these values can be an asset to the CP after the officer has gone through training. However, because the training for the CP is not yet complete because of new and interesting challenges they face daily (i.e. terrorism), that training has to evolve daily."

Abstract
A study of interval training, which allows a person to perform many minutes of super-maximal effort. Such high-intensity effort done at a steady pace would otherwise exhaust a person very quickly. This paper reviews a study conducted on interval training and includes a background into the theory as well as statistical analysis of the experiment. The writer includes a substantial background on the muscle system as it relates to extreme levels of exercise as well as diagrams to assist the reader.
From the Paper
"A 1997 study found that splitting training tasks into intervals or repetitions will increase the amount of oxygen consumed and needed to be repaid after each unit when compared to performing the same distance at the same workload in a continuous or steady exercise regimen. Intermittent, or interval, training tasks were found to place a greater load on the oxygen transport system than do continuous tasks."
