Abstract
This paper argues that highway safety speed limit should be raised to 80 mph on the basis of safety issues alone, including the 85% rule, speed variance as a danger factor and the inability of police officers under the artificially low limits to deal with dangerously slow drivers. Additionally, it notes that the low speed limit "criminalizes" good citizens needlessly

From the Paper
"There has been much debate in recent years over two highway safety issues, drunk driving and aggressive driving. While both of those certainly result in fatalities, there is another highway safety issue that seems to need dusting off; posted highway speed limits. In 1995, the National Maximum Speed Limit (NMSL) was repealed, meaning states were at liberty to set maximum highway speeds above the 55 mph limit that had been imposed, largely as a result of the 1970s gas crisis. Proponents of raising the limit cite real science to support their claim. Opponents of raising it argue that then people would still drive even faster. Unfortunately, the facts to not support the contentions of the opponents of raising the speed limit to 80 mph. It is clear, from the evidence, that the speed limit in many states, including California, should be raised to 80 mph, if for safety reasons alone."

Abstract
This paper examines topics and issues related to high speed pursuits as part of law enforcement. The paper defines the relevant terms and then provides past and current statistics related to these chases. It also discusses policies and the risks that are involved with pursuits. Finally, the paper discusses the alternative solutions to high speed pursuits. The paper contains an annotated bibliography.

From the Paper
"What the public thinks about pursuits plays an important role in defining policy and procedure. While most of the public supports the officer apprehending a dangerous suspect through a pursuit, that support quickly drops as the crime becomes less serious. One study found that 58% of people interviewed believed pursuits were a necessary part of arresting suspects, the statistic drops to 29% when the element of innocent people possibly getting hurt is mentioned. Further, 64% of those interviewed said that police overreact very often when they do pursue suspects who don't stop. Another study found that more than 80% of respondents approved of pursuing a violent felon, even under high-risk conditions. This same study found that with a low-risk suspect, the number of respondents supporting a pursuit fell to 20%. Even those who support pursuits acknowledge that very few people who flee the police have committed serious crimes (Hill, p. 18)."

Abstract
The paper relates that there is presently a great deal of concern over the feasibility of having a high-speed rail link connecting Pearson Airport to Union Station. The paper reveals that as it stands, many people (especially local residents) feel that the number of individuals who will use the proposed rail does not justify the costs and the massive upheaval it will inflict upon the local communities' courtesy construction (Weston Community Coalition, 2008). The paper explains that the provincial government's current position vis-a-vis the proposed development of a high-speed rail link between Pearson Airport and Union Station is that a non-stop rail connection between Pearson and downtown Toronto (Union Station) is entirely desirable.

Abstract
Stars and their metaphorical relationship to fate is a major theme in "Romeo and Juliet" by Shakespeare. The paper shows that stars are mentioned throughout the play in various circumstances that are indicative of fate and the foreshadowing of events. It also looks at another theme present throughout the work, that of speed. The speed at which events happen and the fate controlling those events have an enormous impact on the lives of Romeo and Juliet.

From the Paper
"When Romeo meets Juliet at the Capulet's feast, he is only able to spend a very short amount of time with her before Benvolio rushes him away with, "Away, begone; the sport is at the best" (1.5.119). We see the same haste in the nurse's dealing with Juliet. The nurse realizes who Romeo is and discourages Juliet from speaking to him. She urges the girl away saying, "Anon, anon! / Come, let's away; the strangers all are gone" (1.5.143-144). So here the pressing issue of time is affecting the first encounter between Romeo and Juliet. All of their encounters with one another throughout the play will take place in the same rushed manner. This first meeting of the two foreshadows the rest of their time together."

Abstract
This paper examines how, in Stephen M.R. Covey's book, "Speed of Trust", the author takes the ideas of his father, international best seller Stephen R. Covey, and blazes a revolutionary new path towards productivity and satisfaction. The paper explains that Stephen M.R. Covey's book provides an in-depth look at how trust functions in the every day transactions and relationships of business leaders and public figures and then outlines the type of trust one should expect from the ideal leader according to Covey. The paper concludes with the writer discussing what he found attractive about the management method advocated by Covey.

From the Paper
"For example, in a situation of a corporate merger the issue of trust and leadership versus management becomes complicated. Let's say the original company will usually take a primarily leadership dominated approach to its business organization, allowing its employees to have many freedoms and responsibilities. The merging company, however, has a motivation approach that places more emphasis on management and incentives. In order to ensure that both performance and job satisfaction remain high for all employees in the newly merged corporation, steps will have to be taken to implement both styles of motivation. "

Abstract
This paper delves into the issues of speed and security of today's internet. The author touches on ancillary topics: possible internet crashes, spam, the future of email. The paper includes a cursory look at the genesis of the internet.

From the Paper
"Speed and security on the Internet are two problems today. As the past has showed us, the Internet will keep growing. New concepts and ideas will be made from use on the Internet. A new way of living will come from the Internet and impact everyone's life. These two problems need to be faced and fixed for greater advancement in the U.S."
