Abstract
The paper considers the issue of private motor vehicle use in the environmental, economic, political, social and political sense. The paper discusses the strong interest that cities should have in reducing the number of road vehicles on its roads and thus examines the need for the HOV system and HOT lanes. Both the terms HOV and HOT are analyzed.
From the Paper
Private motor vehicle use is one of the worst environmental, economic, political, social and political problems facing the world. For example in Weaning Canadians from their Love of the Automobile Will Be an Uphill Slog Michael Kieran states, Road vehicles account for 72% of transport energy consumption and 81% of petroleum fuel usage; in other words, road usage is responsible for two-thirds of the transportation emissions of greenhouse gases (Kieran 2003:www. Cabe.ca). This means that cities should have a strong interest in reducing the number of road vehicles on its roads.

Hot Dog! a History
This is a research paper written about the history and reputation of the hot dog. It discusses the origin of the hot dog, origin of the word hot dog, and discusses various aspects and impacts of the hot dog's existence in today's American culture.
From the Paper
"Although hot dogs originated in Germany, hot dogs are still as American as apple pie. Hot dogs are one of the oldest forms of processed food, having been mentioned in Homer's Odyssey as far back as the 9th Century B.C. (Jackson) At first glance one might think that the Hot Dog has a rather dry history. Upon prying into the archives and prying into the taste buds of the masses, I discovered the hot dogs meaty and controversial history and prominent present gives people plenty to say about the 500 year old dog."

"Every year more than 300 people die of heat-related illnesses and many others require medical attention, according to a CDC report. Often those who experience exertional heat illness are athletes who are taking part in physical activity in a warm or hot environment, who might benefit from early on-site identification of their condition and timely, appropriate treatment. Noting that many cases of heat illness are preventable and others can be treated, the National Athletic Trainers' Association (NATA) recently issued a new consensus statement from the Inter-Association Task Force on Exertional Heat Illnesses that features guidelines for effective prevention and management. (NATA 2003)."

Freud and Tennessee Williams' "Cat on a Hot Tin Roof", 2007.

Abstract
This paper argues that Sigmund Freud's psychoanalytic concepts illustrated in "The Interpretation of Dreams" and "Three Essays on the Theory of Sexuality", which examine the discipline of dreams and sexuality, their implications and inner mechanisms, are significant tools for interpreting human behavior and intrinsic to learning critical theory. The author points out that, nonetheless, these theories are not strictly scientific, are not free from the taint of Freud's gross generalizations and sometimes represent his chauvinistic mindset. The author then uses these tools to disect Tennessee Williams' "Cat on a Hot Tin Roof" and in doing so, aligns himself with both critics who stress the inherent nature of Freud's theories in Tennessee Williams' "Cat on a Hot Tin Roof" as well as with the critics who assert that examining the play from a strictly psychoanalytic perspective can limit and compartmentalize certain of its dramatic elements and themes. The paper includes many quotations.
From the Paper
"The theories in "Interpretation" are linked to ideas presented in "Three Essays on the Theory of Sexuality", which is considered an equally prominent and definitive publication in Freud's career. Although "Three Essays" does not include case studies, it also closely examines the nature of sexuality, which begins in early childhood and, like the nature of dreams, is ridden with angst and hidden meanings. According to Freud, sexuality is the driving force for repression, neurosis, and hysteria. One exemplary concept is castration anxiety, an idea involving a deep-rooted fear originating from the phallic stage in young men."

Book review of "The Hot Zone" by Richard Preston.

Abstract
This paper points out the weaknesses and the strengths of Richard Preston's book about emerging infectious diseases. The paper points out that "The Hot Zone" provides mainstream audiences with an effective introduction to modern emerging infectious diseases, but sometimes, the novel's serious inaccuracies and exaggerations damage a complex public understanding of the topic.
From the Paper
"The Hot Zone, by Richard Preston, improves mainstream audience's understanding of emerging infectious disease, and yet damages the positive impact of this exposure by introducing known inaccuracies and exaggerations. Preston's book is largely well-written, entertaining, and accessible. While much of the book is well-researched and scientifically accurate, inaccuracies include Preston's claim that a single mutation may cause Ebola to mutate into a much more infectious airborne agent, sensationalism about the importance of the Ebola virus, ethical judgments about the emergence of rainforest viruses, and a misleading representation of viruses as predators. Despite these inaccuracies, The Hot Zone is important to public science education as a way to introduce readers to concepts within the field of emerging diseases. From this point, scientists can use The Hot Zone as a springboard to introducing other concepts within the field of emerging diseases. Ultimately, while inaccuracies and sensationalism damage the public's understanding of the topic of emerging diseases, The Hot Zone, provides mainstream audiences with an effective introduction to modern emerging infectious disease."

Abstract
This paper reviews the novel "Brick Lane" by Monica Ali. This is the story of a Bengali woman who grows up surrounded by superstition and the belief in fate. The paper describes her development as she raises her own family in London and attempts to shed her superstitious belief system.
From the Paper
"Learning from her sister that their mother chose suicide, Nazneen becomes able to embrace her strength. In her new found freedom, Nazneen has defied fate and made her own choices, and has not been punished or met death over it. Living in London has expanded her thinking, and her perspectives shift as she sheds her superstitious upbringing It has become clear to her that when a person depends solely on Fate, she possesses no power of her own to change anything. Her husband, as a highly educated man, could not make a happy life for himself where so much autonomy of choice keeps him confused and angry. In India, where there was not as much freedom and wealth, people are forced to rely on fate and their religious beliefs to be able to handle the rough parts of their lives. We can assume Nazneen's children will decide their own fates as they grow up, following their mother's example. Nazneen overcomes incredibly deep programming to make this major shift in her life, but she is happy, and dances in her autonomy."

Abstract
This paper reviews a short address by Buzz Hargrove entitled, "Life in the Fast Lane, Life in the Ditch." The paper reviews the text from ethical, complexity theory and globalization perspectives. It particularly discusses Hargrove's text with relation to the new challenges facing the North American auto industry and its relationship to the Japanese.
From the Paper
"Having performed the valuable governance function of re-framing the Hargrove article through three different lenses, this writer cleaves to the view that Hargrove is fundamentally right in many ways; after all, globalization and international trade should not (at least in theory) create and perpetuate inequalities. At the same time, Hargrove's belief that the old Auto Trade Pact will resuscitate things is much too sanguine; the auto sector in this part of the world will also need to become more open to the potentialities of new global markets and to new technologies if it hopes to reverse its fall. On the whole, however, Hargrove's article is rational and deserving of attention."

"The Hot House", 2005.
This paper discusses the concepts of American criminal justice as illustrated in Pete Earley's book "The Hot House: Life inside Leavenworth Prison".

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper explains that, to write "The Hot House: Life inside Leavenworth Prison", Pete Earley was given complete access into one of the most secure prisons in the U.S. where he gained insight into prison life because he was trusted by many inmates, many guards (correctional officers) and the warden of Leavenworth Prison. The author points out the problems of race and inequality within the prison, such as frequent race wars between inmates, which are seldom addressed by prison officials. The paper relates one of the underlying concepts of criminal justice called 'prison paradox', which is that the goal of prison is to punish and rehabilitate, but offenders are coming out of prison worse than when they went in by becoming hardened criminals who are unable to function in society.
From the Paper
"Matthews, though aware of the prejudices, does not seem to be worried about them. When confronted with the idea that the Aryan Brotherhood (AB) was after his life, he barely batted an eyelash. Instead, Warden Matthews went right to the source and asked AB members if they had any problems - to which they responded that they did not and the threat of death disappeared (Earley, 84-87). The racial tension was also clear between warden and guards. In Chapter 17, Warden Matthews is approached with a request for a memorial to a late prison lieutenant, Shoats."

Abstract
This paper discusses Richard Preston's book, "The Hot Zone," in which he recounts a story about a laboratory accident and its aftermath. The paper discusses the ethical issues that surround the laboratory incident, such as the need to inform the public. It goes on to describe possible connections that can be made to current events and the ethical dilemmas that may surround them.
From the Paper
"Concern about ethical treatment in medical matters had been increasing for some time after the revelation of the Tuskegee experiment in which the medical establishment and the government in the 1930s had treated a group of black men in the South for syphilis, giving some a placebo rather than actual treatment and never telling the subjects what they were doing. When details of this experiment surfaced in the 1970s, many first accepted the argument that the cure was as bad as the disease. It soon became clear that this experiment actually took advantage of people who were poor, black, uneducated, and trusting. Analysts have noted how genocide is evoked by the Tuskegee experiment, and some made reference to the Nazi experiments on human subjects during World War II, which had been condemned by the civilized world at the Nuremberg Trials. Other explanations have also been cited, notably with regard to racial differences, to explain how medical personnel could be part of such a breach of ethics."

From the Paper
"It is plain to see that the alternative that should be selected is allowing commercial contractors, with strict guidelines, the opportunity to develop and implement a plan for the development of a nature park that would inevitably solve the main problem of flooding in the flood plain area and subsequently solve all the other minor problems the flooding brings. The reason I choose this alternative is because the project would be fully funded by commercial contractors and the project would be implemented quickly with the long-term goals being reached in a relatively short amount of time. There is no reason to place this tax burden on the residents of Columbia County when there are viable alternatives such as commercial development."

From the Paper
"BACKGROUND ? In Columbia County Georgia, specifically the old recreation park at the end of Park Lane, is prone to flooding due to inadequate storm water drainage systems, changing landscapes due to the areas growth, and beaver dams that impede the natural flow of water into Reed?s Creek for evacuation out of the area. Reed?s Creek basin, a tributary of the Savannah River has been routed into the Augusta Canal since 1850. This was the first stream settled during colonial times, in what is now known as Columbia County. The majority of Columbia County?s population is centered in Reed?s Creek basin and it extends, roughly, from Belair and Wheeler Roads, in a crooked northeastern course for about nine miles, to the Augusta Canal, near the Savannah Rapids Pavilion.

Abstract
In this book review the writer offers an introduction and discussion of the book ?Red-Hot and Righteous by Diane Winston. It begins by giving an overview of the book and assessing what message Winston intended to give her readers. The review highlights the themes that the author covers such as the Salvation Army?s history, background and rise to greatness. In the conclusion the writer explores that while the book is an effective review of the Salvation Army, it does not continue up to the present day and therefore is not as comprehensive as it could have been.
From the Paper
"Red-Hot and Righteous" tells the story of the Salvation Army from its inception to 1950. They called it the "Cathedral of the Open Air," and it worked nowhere better than in New York City. The first representatives of the Army, which began in England in the 1860s, arrived in New York in 1880. "At home in England, the Army's novel methods, including loud parades, female preachers, and hymns set to popular tunes, were attacked not only in the press but also in the streets" (Winston 10). The army's members were "men and women mostly belonging to the working class" (Winston 13), who had joined the army, found religion, and were now saved from "immorality and ruffianism."

Laura Mulver and 'Some Like It Hot', 2007.
This paper analyzes "Some Like it Hot" in light of Laura Mulvey's essay 'Visual Pleasure and Narrative Cinema'.

Abstract
In this article, the writer notes that criticizing film is a very recent phenomenon, and potential critics are testing all possible avenues of criticism and methods of analysis. The writer discusses that Laura Mulvery tried, in her essay 'Visual Pleasure and Narrative Cinema', to base a feminist analysis of film in Sigmund Freud's theories of penis envy and sexual deviation. The writer relates that the problem of analyzing the film "Some Like it Hot" in relation to Laura Mulvey's writing is that she does not prove her point very well in her essay. The writer concludes that this essay does not claim that narrative film has had no effect upon perpetuating anti-feminist attitudes, but maintains that when people become aware through media literacy, it has little effect.
From the Paper
"Ultimately, the creator(s) of the narrative, whether in a book, a poem or any other medium, will both mirror and attempt to modify the culture of their audience. The techniques used by directors and cinematographers enhance the narrative messages and themes, but are not responsible for them unless the messages and themes of the visual form of the film are in direct opposition to those of the narrative. In this sort of case, which is very rare, the audience may leave with many different impressions, according to the baggage they bring with them (Rosenblatt 1935), and how they viewed the film, as in paying more attention the narratives of either the visuals or the text. One possible example of this technique is the film "Apocalypse Now", directed by Francis Ford Cuppola, where Cuppola often had visuals on the screen which contradicted the text, in addition to using camera angles, frames and other cinematographic techniques to negate the message of the text."
