Collectible Action's Effect on International Trade
Introduction
In a world where economics and politics are increasingly interdependent on an international level, the collective actions of one a given group can greatly affect the economic and political stability of states around the world. Groups participating in a collective action are not always seeking a certain, common good or service. In many cases, individuals are part of a collective action simply for the sake of the action, whether it be for philanthropic purposes or as a means to solidify an individual's ties to a certain aspect of his or her identity. Collective action has a definite influence on trade, whether the individuals involved in the collective action are aware that they are working as a group or not. Furthermore
| 2629 | Is WWIII Imminent?
With North Korea on the terror list, Iran enriching uranium, Russia invading Georgia, NATO fighting Afghanistan, and a war going on in Iraq; you would think that WWIII is about to begin. The world awaits to see who the United States of America chooses as their President because that p
| 229 | The MS13 Gang's Charlotte Training Camp
Gangs are an issue it seems, all over the country, and Charlotte, NC seems to be no exception. In the lower part of central North Carolina, Charlotte has grown over the years into a sprawling city. The banking industry has brought in people from all over the country. With the crowds of decent upstanding people that have migrated to the area, another element has moved in as well. The criminal element has grown as the city has grown, and with it has come more organized gang activity. The gang element has gotten increasingly
| 426 | Is Offshore Drilling Worth the Price?
According to Jeffrey Chanton of ActionBioscience.org global warming is raising our oceans at a rate of 1 to 2 millimeters a year. This increase in depth is particularly noticeable during hurricanes as they crash into shores with an average category rating of 2 and 3. As if this wasn't enough of a threat oil industries, congress, and the white house now want to allow offshore drilling.
Let's look at the Georges Bank area off Cape Cod Massachusetts. According to geologists there are approx
| 396 | Offshore Drilling: What Happened to Going Green?
For the past few years, environmentally sustainable sources of energy and fuel have been at the forefront of the media and minds of Americans more than ever before. Going green seemed to be a globally inevitable trend.
But even with funding for green energy increasing and one of the most persistent promoters of information on global warming (Nobel Prize recipient Al Gore) reaching celebrity status, we are seeing a startling net increase in the emissions of the greenhouse gas Carbon Dioxide and a revitalized political commitment to dependence on oil, foreign and otherwise.
Scary Science
We are seeing such staggering figures as 9.34 billion tons of carbon dioxide in our atmosphere, which figures to a 3% increase of emissions in
| 708 | The CDC Takes Action Against the MRSA Skin Infection
The CDC is in the process of a new initiative to get the word out about MRSA. MRSA, as most will remember, is a type of staph bacteria that is resistant to antibiotics, and is often found in hospitals and other health facilities.
The new initiative is a plan to reach out to the general public in the places that they communicate most in an effort to give everyone a better understanding of how MRSA is spread, how to prevent it, and what to do if you think you might have co

China pulled off what is arguably one of the most impressive Olympic Games perhaps ever. From opening ceremony to the final event, the world was witness to some of the greatest spectacles ever associated with the Olympics.
However, the bask in glory and accomplishment has been short lived. Last week, reports began to surface of huge numbers of babies showing up in Chinese hospitals suffering from a variety of ailments most of which involved the kidneys and urinary tract. It was not long until a link was made to milk formula producers and the shocking revelation that melamine had been a
| 479 | Gas Prices Forcing Some To Be Unemployed
In today's society with gas prices and a lowering economic stability one must realize the connection between the environment and our actions. It is understandable to feel not only frustrated but completely panicked about oil prices when our economy is weakening and it becomes difficult to meet obligations. However, the problem goes well beyond oil. This is what we will discuss, the behind factors and what is going on today to turn things around.
For centuries now our w
| 381 | Bank Bailout: Good For Americans?
Apparently the international market is reassured by the fact that our banking system is so screwed up the federal government has to step in and save it. That should be our first clue that this 700 billion bailout is not a good idea. International markets are by definition agents of competition, if they are all backing the same horse, then something is wrong with the race.
According to Julie Hirschfeld Davis and Deb Riechmann of the Associated Press in the third to last paragraph of
| 392 | Local Farmers Get Boost Because of Gas Prices
In today's economy crisis with high fuel prices and banking woes, there is something positive that may come out of it. As many have realized, food prices at grocery stores across the country are increasing out of control. This is due to increased shipping costs from the higher fuel prices. Because of this, many have returned to buying certain things locally. Food grown in a person's home town doesn't have the added shipping fees, and 'produce' is one of the main commodities benefiting in the economy.
Local farmers have always struggled due to weather such as drought or frost. They never know from yea
| 492 | Bail Out By U.S. is Wise Investment
With everyone keeping an eye on the banking industry and the government's roll in it, it seems like a good time to take a closer look. In the past few weeks banks, investment firms, and even those that insure investments have failed. Some have closed their doors permanently while others have turned to the government so that they can stay open.
The government, bailing out these companies, is what has a lot of the population worrying. This is due to the fact that these are not simple bail outs that are in the hundreds of thousands or even the millions, but are in fact in the billions. In fact the amount to bail out the current crisis o
| 519 | Dominos and Fire Protection Association Join Forces
Fire safety and pizza, now that's an interesting combination, but when you think about it, not a bad idea. Lots of people, if not all, order pizza occasionally, and I'm sure there will be some the week of fire safety, October 5th - 11th. So why not deliver a message to those that are ordering out.
NFPA, National Fire Protection Association, is joining forces with the leader in pizza delivery, Dominos, to get a message out about home fire prevention. They want everyone to realize that home fires are not to be taken lightly. Cooking fires are the main cause of house fires and injuries.
Of course, it's a real good id
| 505 | The Second Chapter of the Cold War
The United States is once again being faced with the reality of having Soviet warships looming over the not so distant horizon. On September 22, a squadron of Soviet warships set sail from Northern Fleet's base of Severomorsk. According to Russian navy spokesman Igor Dygalo, "The nuclear-powered Peter the Great cruiser accompanied by three other ships sailed from the Northern Fleet's base of Severomorsk on Monday. The ships will cover about 15,000 nautical miles to conduct joint maneuvers with the Venezuelan navy."

Today's music scene is changing drastically. Many buyers and even makers of music question the future of music. Digital technology is changing how we buy and sell music. Nowadays it is no longer a requirement to be signed to a label to get music out to the world and collecting one's royalties.
Everyday, songwriters are coming up with new ideas and new twists and sometimes those ideas may not be heard. Those vary ideas may be the music we're looking for to complete our iPod collections.
As the studio formats change, the vary programs producers use such as Cubase and Pro Tools are publicly available at stores like Guitar Center. Musician's can find and buy everything they need to set up an in-home studio and begin their music careers,
| 1033 | Winning The Decathlon Isn't Enough For Bryan Clay
Bryan Clay won the decathlon at the 2008 Olympics, and according to tradition will be called the "best athlete in the world," as past winners, such as Bruce Jenner, Dan O'Brien, and Jim Thorpe, have been. Forget using his success to go from a little known athlete, to becoming rich by using his new found fame for endorsements for various products, because Bryan Clay has more important missions in life. That doesn't necessarily mean that nobody will offer him big deals, or that he won't take any. It does mean, however, that Bryan Clay is more concerned with helping underprivileged students and sharing his Christian faith than he is in using his fame to glorify himself.
It's no wonder decathlon winners are considered the best athletes in t
| 699 | The International Trade Simulation
Countries trade with each other because of the simple reason that countries have different types and number of resources and that the costs of using these resources also vary from country to country. These resources are land, labor, capital and entrepreneurship. As each country tries to generate wealth by optimizing their available resources, each country will concentrate on and specialize in the products that they can efficiently produce from their available resources. Countries then would generate wealth by exporting and trading the surplus of these specialized products with other specialized products from different countries.
International trading is the process by which countries export their specialized products to other countries a
| 973 | How Politics Impact Power
Introduction
Power and politics are often considered to be integral components in the development of the organization. Although politics and power are clearly separate entities, both are needed for the organization to effectively manage its operations. Given that both of these issues often plays a mitigating role in the development of the organization, there is a clear need to delineate the similarities that exist between these two ideologies. Using this as a basis for research, this investigation considers a comparison/contrast of politics and power in the organization. Through the presentation of a real world example of how politics and power work in the organization a clear understanding of the integral nature of these concepts will be
| 1050 | Breast Cancer in Men
October is National Breast Cancer Awareness Month. It is time when many groups and organizations as well as the public ban together to make people aware of the dangers of the disease. It has proven to be highly successful in getting more women to have mammograms and submit to follow-up tests. Yet, while everyone understands that breast cancer is predominantly a woman's disease, an amazing number of people do not realize that it strikes men as well. It is this lack of awareness, along with improper or no testing, and good old-fashioned fear that is causing this disease be seem more common among men.
Data from various cancer groups suggests that more than 2,000 cases of breast cancer will likely be diagnosed in men before the end of this y
| 1115 | Terrorism's Global Effect on Tourism
Despite the vast amount of information in mass media regarding terrorism, little service is given to the vast economic impact that terrorism has on a country. Terrorism can affect many of a nation's industries, particularly those related to tourism and travel. Particularly affected are developing and third-world countries whose national economies are frequently reliant on tourism for national income. Kenya, Yemen, Egypt, and other African nations are particularly hard-hit by terrorism-induced industrial issues. However, statistics also show evidence that such problems are temporary at worst.
The $476 billion that tourism generated as recently as the year 2000 speaks of its irrefutable impact on our global economy. This statistic wa
| 1325 | The Effects of Tourism on the Environment
Nearly everyone on the planet would love to see animals and wildlife in their natural habitat with plenty of the space and the resources they need to survive on their own. The problem is that this level of nature conservation is expensive. Leaving land free from development comes at a price. One solution to the expense of providing animals with protected areas is to use tourism as a way to fund the existence of the park. The advantages of this approach to nature conservation are that the protected area becomes affordable, if not profitable, and therefore the long term survival of the protected area is more assured. It also allows humans to interact with wildlife and see these animals in their natural habitats. This kind of exposure can lead
| 1444 | Palin - Should a Woman Lead
There are many conservatives in this country, and a good portion of them are Christians in some form or another. Even though they might not all share the same exact religion, such as Catholicism or even baptist, they do have one thing in common. They believe in God.
These Christian conservatives have one candidate to vote for at the moment, and that is John McCain. He is not a bad candidate for them. He is a war veteran and a true lover of his country. However, he does waiver a little on some of the issues, and how conservatives view they should be dealt with. For instance, although he believes abortion is something that should not be done, he also believes that there are circumstances in which it is acceptable. If the mother's li

During the day of September 21st, life went on as normal for troops in Iraq, or at least normal for the area. One thing that was a little different was a visit by Brig. General Peter J. Talleri to Camp Taji. Talleri is the commander of the Defense Distribution Center and is stationed in New Cumberland, Pennsylvania. While in the area, he also visited the Iraqi Army's General Truck Regiment.
He met with Iraqi Colonel Muhammad and was given updates of their progress and discussed future improvements. "We are working together, in a partnership,

An important event is happening in the Salah ad Din Province. 13 local police stations are opening their doors soon. The first of which just opened to the joy of those in the area. Many came for the event, even though there was a dust storm in the area, and watched as the doors were opened to the al Answar Police Station in al Secour.
The town of al Secour is lucky to be the first of 13 to open in a process that can take time. Coalition forces must first validate each st

The CDC has recently come out with the recommendation that medical professionals should increase routine testing in the U.S. for chronic hepatitis B. Hepatitis B is a main cause of liver cancer and disease.
