Abstract
This paper looks at four cases involving accidents on ski slopes and the determination of who is responsible - the skiers or the resort owners. It summarizes the four cases, analyzes them and compares and contrasts the findings. The cases involved a collision between two skiers, a collision between a skier and a ski instructor, a collision between a skier and a snowboarder, and a skier who fell into a half-pipe in a terrain area.

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
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
Uluru Kata Tjuta National Park is currently reviewing the Film and Photography Guidelines, which govern commercial film and photographic activities in the park. At the conclusion of an inaugural conference delegates identified and ranked a number of issues for future action. This paper examines why two highly ranked issues received so little attention, the protection of cultural interests and values and payment to Anangu for the use of Uluru images. Part one of the paper presents background information on Uluru Kata Tjuta National Park and outlines the management of commercial film and photography. Part two discusses the film and photograph guidelines review processes and the influences involved with reference to current theoretical policy models.

From the Paper
"The UKTNP Commercial Film and Photography Guidelines (appendix 1) were developed to help maintain the integrity of Anangu culture and protect the World Heritage area. The Guidelines only apply to commercial photographers, and place restrictions on photographing important cultural sites around Uluru and Kata Tjuta (DEH 2004a). Whilst the Guidelines were drawn up in consultation with Anangu, authority is derived from the EPBC Act 1999, and Regulations 2000, where permits are required to conduct commercial activities in a Commonwealth Reserve (EPBC Act 1999). The permit system is divided primarily into two categories, 'to capture' images (r.12:24) and 'image use' (r.12:38)."

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.."

Study of Aviation Security using Content Analysis, 2008.
An analysis of two US press releases and how they reflect upon changes in aviation security since 9/11.

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."

From the Paper
"The purpose of this paper is to examine the problem of jail crowding in the United States, look at suggested solutions to the problem, its causes, dangers, legalities and the like, and examine emergency measures and other aspects.
Jail crowding is a complex issue that demands immediate attention and brave solutions. Unfortunately, our knowledge of the problem lags behind the problem itself. And as with so many difficulties that rise from public institutions, jail crowding cannot be assigned to one cause or remedied by one solution. Nor can crowding's cause and effect in one jail in one locale be compared with confidence to another jail somewhere across the country; indeed, in some cases comparisons cannot be made even across the state.
In addition to the diversity of the jails themselves, there ... "

From the Paper
"Independent film production is an important part of the overall American film industry today, though independent production has had its ups and downs and has faced a number of crises in recent years with the effects of the recession and other economic forces that have made it difficult for many companies to survive. There are several definitions of independent film production, though generally all have one thing in common--independent producers do their work outside the American studio production system in some degree. This does not mean that they are completely unconnected to the major studios, for many independent companies receive funding through the studios (Tristar was founded jointly by Columbia Pictures and HBO, for instance) or have distribution agreements with the studios for the release of product (United Artists had..."

From the Paper
"The Blues were primarily a voice music. Even when brass was added, the "breaks" were still sung in the primitive call response form of the blues. A further development of the blues was what has been termed Negro Theatre -- vaudeville, black shows and traveling road shows. This was the start of classic blues which contained all the elements of Negro music plus the smoother emotional appeal of the performance. Classic blues attempted a universality that earlier blues forms could not envision. Singers like Ma Rainey and Bessie Smith were responsible for the creation of this style of blues. It was this same style that brought blues into general notice by being the first form of blues recorded.
The new black market emerged in 1920. A few items by black performers had been issued in the early years of the recording ... "

"The Impact on Society of the Increasing the Number of Cases Where Juveniles are Tried as Adults
I. Introduction
The impact on the court system should be minimal if juvenile offenders of serious crimes are tried adults in the criminal court system, rather than in juvenile court. The transformation of the juvenile court has evolved to a point where there is little difference between the procedures of juvenile court and criminal court.
The juvenile system was designed in the late 1950s to rehabilitate youngsters who became "a bit wayward." That type of juvenile offender has all but disappeared and in its place has evolved a sophisticated, violent youngster who has little..."
