Abstract
This paper will cover the gubernatorial race that is happening in New Jersey. The three running candidates are Bret Shundler, Jim McGreevy and third party liberal Schluter and all have agendas for what they think will make the state of New Jersey a better place to live in. By examining the three candidates closely, we can see how they differ in opinions on state issues and how they will be when elected to the seat. Also, the outlook of the three candidates will be analyzed through the medium of the press, as well as how these candidates look to the citizens that will be voting for them.

From the Paper
"With the 1994 elections a new generation of gubernatorial leadership has been swept into office. Among those swept out of incumbent power was Mario Cuomo. Cuomo, shining orator of the 1984 Democratic Party Convention, was up for his fourth term as Governor of the State of New York. His defeat was decisive - and it was humiliating. A national political figure, known for his idealism, political acumen and legal wisdom, Cuomo was defeated by a novice state senator, George Pataki, whose public profile only weeks before the election was still characterized by the comment "George Who?" (Brookhiser 22; Buckley 71). That New York voters were willing to discard a respected leader in favor of an unknown brings into focus the particularly fragile, singularly responsible, character of gubernatorial leadership.
What are a governor's duties and what importance should be..."

The Railroad Station of Belmar, New Jersey.

Abstract
This paper explains that the value of historic structures in this area is lucrative in terms of investment of any type and secure in terms of return-investment through return business in the form of tourists. The author stresses that the borough of Belmar and the surrounding and outlying areas are rich in the areas of science, military, government, social history, and architectural history. The paper concludes that, due to the small area of land that composes the borough of Belmar, the age of the building that constitutes the Belmar Railway Station, the location of the station, the going price of real estate in the area of Belmar on the Jersey Coast, and the immeasurable historical value of the station, any expenditures toward the preservation of the architectural structure of the nearly 100-year old station is a sound investment and should be strongly considered as a place of designation for historic structure grants. Many illustrations.

"The Jersey Shoreline is home of the boardwalk with something for everyone from fishing to swimming as well as being inclusive of Victorian walking tours and many other delights as sandcastle contests, waterfront promenades, chowder festivals, band concerts, and countless other tourist delights. There are paddleboat cruises along the Jersey shoreline and Belmar is the host of the annual New Jersey Seafood Festival that takes place each summer, which draws a crowd of tourists in the form of both families as well as college-aged individuals. Belmar's beaches are wide and Belmer is one of the main charter-fishing industries in the area being located on Shark River."

Abstract
This paper discusses the activities of state authorities in relation to crime in New Jersey and in the United States. The paper explains that in recent years crime rates in New Jersey have dropped significantly, but the prison population, and its costs, have increased and the key reason is that New Jersey (like many other jurisdictions) uses incarceration to address drug problems. The paper points out that there are alternatives to full-scale incarceration that would save the state of New Jersey substantial sums which are now being spent on maintaining a prison system that is built to guard New Jersey from a threat that does not exist.

Conclusion
From the Paper
"There are two criminal justice systems in the United States: the state system and the federal system. When a person commits a crime, it may be a crime against the laws of the United States; it may be a crime against the laws of the state in which the crime occurs. Violations of the criminal laws of the United States ("federal crimes") are prosecuted by the United States through the U.S. Attorney in each state. Violations of the laws of a given state are prosecuted by the various officials of the state. While the two systems work cooperatively, they do not course over."

Abstract
This paper looks at the National Standards for Arts Education as a place to start in assessing any state's interest in and support of arts education. The paper explains that to assess New Jersey's positioning on the canvas of American arts education, the debate and its contributions were analyzed for the past decade; the findings were unequivocal that arts education has a place not only in humanities teaching, but also in creating an atmosphere in which all children can achieve. It explains that wealthier school districts are more likely to retain arts programs under pressure, although it is the disadvantaged districts that would most benefit. The entire issue is assessed in terms of the possibilities post-NCLB, and the current progress of the states in terms of adopting the National Standards for Arts Education are also discussed. The writer concludes that it appears that New Jersey has at least nominally found a niche among the states more dedicated to providing arts education. It remains to be seen whether that education will be of the 'media' sort, or the more substantive arts education that demands continued student/teacher involvement in pursuit of generalized goals contributive to developing an aesthetic sense and possibly some mastery in an arts area.

From the Paper
"Four years ago, discussion concerning the place and presence of fine arts education in public schools would have been primarily a discussion of the need for the curricula in the first place and the financing of it. In the early 1990s, discussion of National Standards for arts education became prevalent in the professional media. Since the start of the Bush administration's No Child Left Behind initiatives, however, any public discussion of the present and future of arts programs in public schools is clouded by a new dominant educational debate; the new debate concerns whether NCLB signals the death-knell of learning in U.S. public schools, or is a way to raise up the academically disadvantaged. While this investigation does not attempt to find the definitive answer to that question, there is little doubt that the fact and progress of NCLB will have an impact, and arguably a negative one, on fine arts education generally. Whether it is having or has had a negative impact on fine and performing arts education in New Jersey is a proper question for the current research, however. It is probable that the answers to a statewide survey of fine arts faculty conducted for this investigation will help resolve it. Indeed, the question to be answered is how well New Jersey's Fine Arts Programs compare to National Standards, allowing for classification differences within the state."

Senate Race in New Jersey, 2002.

Abstract
This paper discusses the involvement of the U.S. Supreme Court in the Senate elections in New Jersey. The legal concerns of the Republican party were brought to the U.S. Supreme Court following the ruling of the New Jersey Supreme Court, allowing a deviance from the legislature. The paper examines the New Jersey State laws, which clearly define the timing and conditions for the withdrawal of a candidate and replacement of that candidate on the ballot.
From the Paper
"The Republicans still had some hope that the United States Supreme Court would overrule the New Jersey Supreme Court. The US Supreme Court had involved itself in the Florida voting problems in the 2000 Presidential Election. However that was a Federal election and involved the executive branch. The New Jersey situation affected state law, not federal law so the US courts would not get involved. The state courts would have had to misinterpret the state responsibilities written into the US Constitution."

Abstract
The paper discusses a study that examined the possibility of incorporating community-based programs in New Jersey. The paper looks at its results that indicated that modest increases in educational spending can be offset by the significant savings from reduced recidivism. The paper concludes that it appears that New Jersey is slowly moving in the direction of adding additional community-based programs in order to curb crime and recidivism.

Conclusion
From the Paper
"In the past few decades crime has become a significant issue in the United States, as the New Jersey public has been overwhelmed with graphic stories from the media. In prior years, political leaders have responded with calls for harsher treatment of criminal offenders as an end to revolving door justice by processing these offenders through the criminal justice system. The DEA describes New Jersey as a gateway state, with major interstate highways, roadways, international airports/seaports, and other infrastructures capable of accommodating voluminous amounts of passenger and cargo traffic, making it an ideal strategic corridor for transportation of drug contraband and illicit currency (DEA, 2008)."

Abstract
The paper discusses how the essays, "September 11, 2001: A Wake Up More Than a Nightmare" and "Condemnation Without Absolutes" by Rex Murphy and Stanley Fish respectively, are both discussions on the events surrounding the attacks on the United States on September 11th 2001. The paper explains that to accurately categorize both the discussions, they could be described as pleas against over simplification of the events. The paper examines how both authors tackle slightly different dynamics of difficulties with oversimplification.

Abstract
In this paper the plot of the movie directed by Stanley Kubrick and the book written by Arthur C. Clarke are summarized with emphasis on the philosophical and ethical issues presented in the story. A more detailed analysis of the ethical issues, including man becoming god and Hal the computer, concludes the paper. The paper is written from a Christian perspective and relates the story to Biblical examples.
From the paper:
"2001: A Space Odyssey" was written by Arthur C. Clarke and published in 1968 at about the same time as the movie of the same title was released. It is interesting to note that the film and the book were being produced at the same time. Rather than to base one on the other, the movie and the book were made almost as one, with modifications being made to suit the needs of the writer and director. Directed by Stanley Kubrick, the movie was left more open-ended than the book, and tended to draw either praise for its ingenuity or harsh judgment for its dullness and lack of imagination. Whether the first or the latter opinion is correct, one thing is for certain: 2001 is an epic that changed the face of science fiction and paved the way for a whole new way of thinking."

The U.S. Patriot Act of 2001, 2008.
Examines the U.S. Patriot Act of 2001 and issues of privacy versus security.

Abstract
This paper explains that the U.S. Patriot Act of 2001, which was enacted on October 26, 2001, came to be regarded as an important source in the US' fight against terrorism. Rushed in to law in the wake of 9/11, the paper relates that the Patriot Act widens significantly the extent of government powers regarding confinement of non-citizens for an indefinite period and searches, arrests and scrutiny based on lower levels of reason and stages of judicial review. The paper points out that this wide ranging Act is being debated because it is perceived to interfere with constitutional privacy safeguards and yet this country must have the powers to protect itself against future terrorists attacks.
From the Paper
"There were several instances in which Muslims and those of foreign Asian origin were facing troubles in the name of security. Groups of federal agents on March 20-21, 2002, with the US Customer Services as their head combed Muslim houses, businesses, educational institutions, and establishments in Northern Virginia in a chain of raids entitled Operation Green Quest. The searches scared and enraged the Mohammedans as agents smashed doors, chained people, and made seizures of private property arraying from PCs to children's toys."

"2001: A Space Odyssey" and "Lost Horizon", 2002.

Abstract
An examination of the similarities and differences between Arthur C. Clarke's "2001: A Space Odyssey" and James Hilton's "Lost Horizon". The author identifies core beliefs which both novels hold including their concern with what it is to be human. However, it is also illustrated how different the novels are with regard to structure, literary techniques, and characterizations.
From the Paper
"Lost Horizon has a more traditional narrative structure, with an enclosing frame involving characters who talk about the central figure, remembering him in the past. 2001, on the other hand, at first glance seems to lack a cohesive literary structure and to be instead a series of barely related incidents at different time periods, with different characters and somewhat obscure situations. Yet, the two novels both have a core belief in the ability and innate moral sense of the human being and a belief in positive human development."
