Re: None- Tracy's paper

One third of the average human beings life is spent sleeping. It is recommended that all individuals get eight hours of sleep each night in order to function properly the following day. There are five stages of sleep that occur during our slumber. These five stages are Stage one, Stage two, Stage three, Stage four, and Rapid eye movement sleep.
Stage one sleep is experienced as falling to sleep. It is a transition stage between wake and sleep and usually lasts between 1 and 5 minutes and occupies approximately 2-5 % of a recommended night of sleep. In addition, the sleeper enters a state of flaccid paralysis of the large muscles, which means that the muscles become very relaxed and no longer respond to motor messages from the brain. Brain waves also slow down during stage one sleep. Stage 2 sleep is not as vital to the sleep cycle as stage one (http://www.ship.edu/~cgboeree/genpsysleep.html). During stage two sleep, the sleeper's brain waves continue to remain dormant. All eye movements cease. Stage two is characterized by low voltage fast activity, with random out bursts of rapid activity, and also by "Sleep Spindles," or eruptions of rapid brain activity may occur (The Dictionary of Psychology, 908).
Stages three and four are somewhat merged together, during these stages the sleeper fall into a deep sleep. The eyes do not move at all and there is no muscle activity .It is often referred to as "slow wave" sleep because brain activity slows down drastically from the rhythm of Stage 2 to a much slower rhythm. In most adults these two stages are completed within the first two 90 minute sleep cycles or within the first three hours of sleep.
As the sleeper plunges into rapid-eye-movement sleep, other wise known as REM sleep, the respiration and heart rate increases substantially and the ability to use the skeletal muscles, or the postural muscles is diminished. With this, the brain becomes so activated that hallucinations called dreams occur. The eyes move down to midline, just as in wakefulness, and they begin to move sporadically, many times in relation to what happens in dreams. In effect, the brain is highly activated in a paralyzed body. This paradoxical state will last 10-20 minutes and then the sleeper will "fall" back down into Stage two sleep again
(http://www.sleepdoctor.com/stages.htm). The average individual will go through this cycle an average of four times in one night.
Stages three and four are the deepest sleep; many individuals awaken before the completion of these stages, or before the beginning of REM. Because of these findings, it has been proven that the loss of sleep weighs heavily on academic and physical performance.
Many students are known to have negative attitudes or for being a bit groggy. Students are also known for receiving bad grades on report cards, the sensible reason for this behavior maybe due to the lack of sleep. As mentioned before, the average student requires eight to nine hours of sleep to perform well throughout the day. When an adequate amount of sleep has not been obtained, various areas of the brain that store memory (Hippocampus, or the amygdala) slow down. This is a detriment to the learning process therefore students do not perform what is expected in the classroom.
Lack of sleep also creates health issues, when one fails to receive enough sleep, one becomes moody and irritable more often. It becomes more difficult to control emotions such as happiness, fear, sadness, and anger. In a study performed on female high school students, some high school females who went to bed on the weekend two or more hours later than regular weeknight bedtime felt more depressed than the females who did not stay up late on the weekends.

      As I sit in this luxurious living room belonging to Marie Vilgrain, I see pain stirring in her eyes as
she recalls the dreadful incident in which her husband, Marc Vilgrain beat her and threatened to take their
second daughters life. She recalls the circumstances that led to this incident, her befriending three homosexuals.
She Recalls missed opportunities to fulfill her life. She recalls how he had treated her family before the incident. With
much cruelty. Perhaps her most painful recollection was that she could have changed things, on so many
occasions.
    After having one child with Marc, she fled to St. Louis, Mo where she found that she was pregnant with their
second child, she was unfortunately found by Marc no more that a week before she was to abort the child
without his consent.
    She jerks a little as she comes back to reality. Looks at me with slight impatience and says "Well, I suppose we should get started huh..?" I reply with a single nod.

Natasha: Marie, tell me how you two met.
Marie: [Marc and I] met through a friend of ours, he brought him to help my sister move into her new house,
I really didn't like him at first, but he was very persistent. He never could take no for an answer.

Natasha: How did your family react to him..?
Marie: They all hated him! My family saw him for who he was, and when he and I got married, they divorced me,
not legally of course. I guess they couldn't see what he meant to me at the time.

Natasha: Wow, that must have been hard on you when they "Divorced" you, How did he help you cope with
that?
Marie: He didn't. He wasn't very supportive of anything I did, now that I think of it. I did what I could for him and the kids.

Natasha: What exactly happened that night?
Marie: [Marc] had been gone for two days, and I had arranged to go to the movies with my friends, it didn't phase
me at that point that he didn't approve of them, he had done many things that I blatantly disapproved of. Anyway,
I got home that night to find him waiting for me in the driveway, as soon as [My friend] drove away he punched
me, he had never hit me before. I went inside and asked my daughter, Natasha to stay as calm as she could
because she always hit [Marc] back when he hit her brother, imagine what she would do to him for hitting
her mother! As hard as I tried though I couldn't stop her, they ended up fighting, just throwing their fists aimlessly
at each other, than her brother went and got into it and [Marc] probably would have seriously hurt him. I had
to break them up, and I did. I asked [Natasha and Marcos] to remain in Natasha's room. They couldn't stand it.
They called the police and he was arrested that night. The next week I filed for divorce.

Natasha: How do you think he feels about this?
Marie: Angry. [I think he feels] like he did nothing wrong, and I should give him another chance or
overlooked his many wrong doings.

Natasha: How has your life changed since then?
Marie: I feel much happier, and a hell of a lot freer. It's as if a dark cloud has been lifted from this family. We now
all live and speak freely. I also feel that my children are happier and feel safer. It's
not so easy to be on defense for such a long period of time.

Natasha: How did you cope with how he treated your family, yourself included, for all those years?
Marie: I usually just shut down and told myself it would get better or would end soon. At times I pretended
that what he did didn't affect me or bothered me.

Natasha: If you could have divorced [Marc] sooner would you have?
Marie: Probably, I also think that I got caught up in what we owned together and was afraid I would lose mostly
everything. Once I [accepted] losing certain investments the decision was easier.

Natasha: What do you think your life would have been like if you had gone through with the abortion and left
him?
Marie: Less hectic. Maybe a little less, or a little more troubled. Definitely less crying [on my part.]
Maybe I would have come to terms with what I wanted in life sooner.

Natasha: Was it all worth it? Keeping the baby and staying int he marriage?
Marie: All in all I have to say yes. Because if it weren't for what I went through with him, I would not be who I am today,
and I love my family. I like the woman I have become and the family I have.

Natasha: Thank you so so so much for the interview.

Tangible goods are made up of the raw materials that come from nature. Because all
people and other living things have material needs for survival, everyone must have access
to some land in order to live.
Some people feel prices shouldnt be placed on such resources. Demand however, is not sensitive to change fluctuation in price and supply
typically does not vary radically over a short period of time so the price for these demands need to be placed on the consumer. Where is
the value being placed?
                         -Raw material or extractable natural resources
                         -Pine tree standing in the forest
                         -Tons of coal buried in the ground
                         -Liters of water in Aquifers

Land, particularly geographic locations and mineral desposits, has historically been the cause of much conflict and dispute; programes that
are designed to redistribute geographic land, are often the cause of much controversy and mineral deposits have contributed to many civil
wars, particularly in Africa.
Our land resources are important because they are the foundation of all production we cannot expect ourselves
to produce these goods that we feel we desperately need if we do not have any natural resources. They are in essence
the same goods that we continue to dissipate, and will eventually lose.

Americas media have taken long strides in making citizens self governing and free. We have seen
the media struggle to satisfy both conservative and liberal parties and those in between. The
media will once again have to struggle to keep its once intrested audiences due to the publics
decreasing concern. Studys have shown that less individuals pay attention to the news because of the negativity, scandals
and more entertaining competition. Although the media is protected by wrongful oppression by the government, it does not assure that
todays news media will be seen as valuable to Americas youth and middle class as it was in the 20th
century.
Mainstream media used to scour the nation with outlets such as, ABC, NBC, CBS, NPR, Time, and The
Washington Post, who were known as the nations news elite. They were believed to have an obligation
to improve society through knowledge and responded shortly after WWII to the
nations need to know what was occurring in the past and presently aggressive central government.
Traditional media acknowledged that news was nothing but facts. Editorials were for opinions.
With this aquired intelligence the media printed stories relevant to the lives of the citizens, and
influencing the lives of the citizens, for example during the Watergate scandal. The Exposing
of Nixons theivery aided the media in proving their reputability. Another example of the media's
respectability was the medias depiction of the Civil Rigts Movement,which was proved to be
thoroughly significant. The Media were "independent guardians of the public good."
So what happened in the 1980's? Why did so many Americans stop depending on traditional media?

Meg Carter

MsLovely — Wed, 18 Jan 2006 05:20:42 GMT

Absence of Malice

The film "Absence of Malice," portrays a journalist (Meg Carter) who must find the difference
between what is newsworthy, and what is not. She unintentionally hurts many individuals
upon coming to this realization. Meg's priorities are are in order throughout this film which had
caused her to harm so many people, her desperation for a story outweighed her moral and ethical
judgement.
Meg Carter, however, does have some positive aspects to her, such as her apparrent dedication
to her work, and her articles were always well written. Because Meg had been romantically involved
with an article subject, her willingness to publish a leaked story before verifying the facts, and
wearing a tape recorder for no just reason at all, I am compelled to view her handling of her work
as unethical.Another point of this film that made Meg unethical was her printing the name of Theresa Perone.
I don't believe printing the name of the source was necessary, she was hesitant on releasing the
names of FBI sources, therefore Theresa should not have been any different. I believe Meg should
have given Theresa's name to FBI officials and later written the article, or just reported Theresa
as an unnamed source.
By the end of the film Meg learns the importance of honest journalism, she has learned
where to draw the line between what should be known to the public, and what should be kept private.
The film made me realize the difference

The media should report the facts and the news, and allow the reader to form an opinion based on those facts, if magazines abide by this unwritten rule, the libel suit controversy would have proven irrelevant.
Because high-priced, immoral publications cannot keep irrelevant facts, or disreputable falsifications out of the news the government has been forced to question the right of free speech and the penalities of abusing that right.
Ben Wattenberg, a well-known columnist believes in the "Chilling effect" which states that when pressure is applied to any social group, that group will be greater inclined to do what is needed for the citizens to be satisfied. When conservatives began complaining that the media had become to liberal, the media of course denied the charge, but behind closed doors, the truth of this accusitation had been taken into full effect.
Wattenberg also suggests that journalists should report the truth bluntly and free of irrelevancies. This concept is well understood due only to the fact that the public does not want the news to be saturated in inacuracies.
Journalists and publications are failing to realize the importance of keeping the news real. Although society may become entertained by the falsifications of useless tabliods, we need to be mature and highly skeptical of what we are being told. We need to understand the difference between fact and fiction.
New York trial lawyer, Martin Garbus, contradicts Wattenberg by declaring the dangers of repressing free speech.
The citizens need to know what is going on, as much as the truth might offend a party, if the facts are relevant, they are necessary. In order for the large publications owner to keep business flowing, he must find a lawyer to defend almost each controversial article written, because public officials may be rightly or wrongly accused of any form of disorderly conduct.
The wealthy are also known for participating in this act of insecurity.
Garbus goes on to propose that laws be written to enforce the suppression of libel suits, such as, eliminating awards that were given based upon subjects that may cause libel suits, or forcing publications to make approppriate corrections when they have misinformed the public.
I believe there is an underlying cause that needs to be handled before the issue of whether the press has to much freedom, or not is accounted for. I believe society has forgotten the difference between fact and fiction. Society (Journalists included) need to mature more and realize this dissimilitary.
I, however, agree fully with Garbus' notion that "Journalists should be free to write whatever is true, regardless of the effect." To diminish the act of free speech is to diminish any right the citizens have to make themselves self-governing and free.

Due to the convenient schedule,and what I believe to be a school with A
better set curriculum, I have chosen to attend LNA health careers. I found
the representative to be more than helpful. Ms. Clark also appeared to be
more optimistic about my future career in the health care field than other
representatives. She was also concerened with where I would be able to apply
my newly aquired skills upon the completion of this course. Overall, I felt LNA
Health Careers cared more about my educational growth.

There are so many reasons for my intrest in the healthcare field, one of which
is my carng nature,and ability to interact with people of all types. I enjoy being
physically active, and working within a team of other professionals in a positive environment.
My ultimate career goal is to be a professional healthcare provider in a given institution,
and I believe becoming an LNA will help prepare me for the various personalities of patients that i will more than likely encounter, including communicating with patients,their families, and other members of my healthcare team.
I also believe that becoming an LNA will aid in developing my full potential and life career.

Relevant Truth

The News should portray Honesty. Honesty does not bring guilt, and relevancy keeps confusion out pof the news.
Ben Wattenberg, a Well-known Columnist believes that when pressure is applied to any social group, that
group will be greater inclined to do what is needed for the citizens to be content. Wattenberg also suggests that
journalists shpould report the truth bluntly. This concept is well understood due only to the fact that the people do not want controversies and relevant issues to be saturated in unneeded facts.

New York trial lawyer, Martin Garbus contradicts Wattenberg by declaring the dangers of repressing free speech. The citizens need to know what is going on, as much as the truth might offend a party, if its relevant knowledge it is necessary knowledge. In order for the small publications owner to keep his business he must find a lawyer to defend almost each controversial article written.
Garbus goes on to propose that laws be written to enforce the oppressiopn of libel suits, such
as: eliminating awards that were given based upon subjects that may cause libel suits, or, forcing publications to make approppriate corrections.

Because the expposing opf wrong-doing leaves publications vulnurable and more likely to get sued, the fact that money will always prevail over truth is constantly made known. I agree fully with the notion that "Journalists should be free to write whatever is true, regardless of the effect." To diminish the act of free speech is to diminish any right the citizens have to make themselves self-governing and free.

My employment experiences in include jobs that have taught me the importance of self-respect, politeness, and respect for others. These experiences have been my most fulfilling because of the knowledge I have gained in tolerance, courtesy, planning saving, and support of a business. I have worked with each type of person one feel will meet in life. I believe the lessons they have taught me will aid me in my Psychology career. One of the most important things I have learned is time management which immensly helped my study habits.

During my high school years I was not given the chance to perform as many community service projects as I would have liked. Due my family's need for money I worked for a strong majority of my high school years.My community service hours have been limited to twenty-five hours (Two weeks) of volunteering at SNHS Headstart as a teachers assistant.

My extracurricular activities include:

+Being an active member of the Manchester High School WEST S.E.A by attending all meetings and aiding in the clean-up of various city parks.
+ Being an active member of the G.S.A club by participating in the national "Day of silence" and attending club meetings to promote diversity and acceptance of diversity.

I have obtained 4 awards during my high school career for many leadership accomplishments. These awards include:

+ A Certificate of Merit for completing The New England Student Leadership conference.
+ A Certificate of Acheivement for my personal academic growth ( Completion of an SAT prep program funded by the SNHU partnership program of which I am a member)
+ A Certificate commemorating my induction into the JAG- NH career assocoation as program Reporter.
+ A Certificate of recognition for completion of PACT (Peer Action Changing Tomorrow) peer educator training program.

âDark future ahead of me, thatâs what they said, Iâd be starvinâ if I ate all the lies they fed, âcuz Iâve been redeemed from your anguish and pain, a miracle child Iâm floatinâ on a cloud. âCuz the words that come from your mouth youâre the first to hear. Speak words of beauty and you will be there. No matter what anybody says what matters most is what you think of yourself.â
-India.Arie

   I didnât have any friends beginning elementary school or finishing elementary school. I never knew why I was a natural repellant of people, kids in particular. Looking back on those years now I still cannot believe children so young could be so cruel. Kids will be kids, I guess. One of the reasons was the way I looked. I had short crispy hair that would stay wherever the wind blew it. I was not as childish as some of my peers, I always saw the big picture and never followed the hype.
    The other students never knew when enough was enough. I was teased for my size all the time. During recess one year, I was trying to read one of my favorite books (Yolandaâs Genius) and there were three boys harassing me and just calling me names. They said I was bigger than a hippo and they threw snowballs at me. One of them threw a snowball with some ice in it, he aimed for my head but luckily for me he missed, I was so upset I couldnât stand to take it any longer I went to tell the teacher and say something. The boy who had started it all said to me if I got him in any trouble he and his friends would âroll my fat ugly assâ down a nearby hill. I stayed put and did not defend myself.
    Another hardship I faced was Josh. Joshua was this boy who I had a crush on in the fifth grade. I donât know how I got so bold that I stepped up to him, but I did. I told him I had feelings for him and Josh just laughed and told me that because my hair had the same texture as a brillo pad, my skin looked burnt and I didnât dress the way he thought I should, we would never be together. I could barely take it. I was being rejected for being dark; my feelings were so hurt. After that I had eraticated any thoughts of boys that lingered. I was to insecure and did not th ink I would find another Josh
    Middle school was just as bad if not worse. There were twice as many people and they just got meaner. By the sixth grade I had gotten bigger. My face had matured and my hair became unmanageable. I was still overweight, poor and shunned by my peers. I was the epitome of ugly.
    I became exhausted with feeling ugly, I started to believe that conforming to societyâs stereotype of what a black girl should be would make me more respectable. I got extensions in my hair, started to wear make-up, and spoke like I was uneducated. I felt completely remade. I remember when I first modeled my look - I walked into school and was immediately told that I looked like a clown by one of the âpopularâ girls and others told me my hair looked like a mop. The cruelty only got worse. The on-going taunts and jeers from my peers filled me with thoughts of running away (as naÃ¯ve as it sounds) which eventually led to thoughts of ending my life completely.
    I had found a group in the eighth grade that accepted me for me and my thoughts of suicide and running away were suppressed. I had a hard time confiding in my family who were the only people who seemed to want to tolerate me. Often times I would act as if nothing bothered me. Nobody knew I went home everynight and cried into my pillow until it hurt to breathe.
    High school came and I found myself in a worse emotional state than before, but in fear of being a burden on anyone else or just being annoying, I suppressed my feelings. I tried make-up again, only this time I used more natural tones. Nobody thought I looked like a clown and if they did, they didnât tell me. It felt good to be generally accepted, kind of like I had a chance to salvage my self-esteem.After a while, I began to reconsider my make-up.It didnât do much for me and I felt that in order to feel beautiful I would have to reconstruct myself and find my inner beauty I felt that in order to feel beautiful I would have to learn to love me for who I am. That was when I came to the realization that everything my life had revolved around, everything I said I stood for and everything that made me feel like a person was FAKE. It was all a faÃ§ade.
    My sophomore year ended with an argument with a friend over my behavior and sudden withdrawal from the group.I did not feel comfortable talking about it; I felt they were untrustworthy so Ijust tried to let everything go I also did not want to hurt anyone by telling them what I saw every time I thought of them and the disgust I felt each time I thought of them. I couldnât begin to explain to them how they contributed to my pessimistic outlook. I just could not explain how I felt completely saturated in sadness, even if they did make me happy for a short while. I was tired of everything; the lying, the deceit. I couldnât stand the way we all placed useless drama onto ourselves by making stupid decisions when we knew better. I had a constant drain of energy that I could not (and did not want to) handle.
    Over that summer, I had a lot of time to look at some of my situations, both past and present, and I realized all of these situations were either brought on by myself, or brought on for the amusement of other people. I saw that my life was not for entertaining others. I only had to worry and look out for me-do what I needed to do to stay happy and keep a smile on my face. After seeing reality, I didnât feel naÃ¯ve anymore, nor did I feel the need to hide anything.
    The next thing I knew that needed to change was my body ( as I stated before, I had a weight problem). I went on a diet plan constructed by me. It consisted of 2 hours of vigorous workout, and no eating or drinking anything but water after 6:30pm. It worked; I had lost 13 lbs in two months.
    The stance I made was a tremendous life lesson that most women dont realize until they have reached a more accomplished status in life. I felt gorgeous, even as I started gaining the weight back, I still felt/feel beautiful because I had realized that my heart and mind are beautiful and there are so many other, more important things to worry about than being fat. My size does not define my personality nor does it define my mind; it is the way I treat people.
    Learning to love myself was one of the greatest obstacles I have overcome. I am so proud that I can see more than just a pretty face. I am so proud to know what self love and self acceptance feels like. I am beautiful in my eyes and in the eyes of those who know and love me. Iâve realized that being a size 18, knowing pain, humility and acceptance is better than being a size 10 with nothing on my mind other than sex , drugs and alcohol. Iâve learned in my 18 years of being on this earth that looks should be one of the last things on anyoneâs mind. We as people should always be thinking about mental growth, acceptance of diversity, and ways to better ourselves. Only then can we find peace among people. A lot of people donât realize that life is in fact what you make of it, if you choose to let yourself be suppressed, than more people will hold and keep you down. After all my previous revelations, I can honestly say I have never been happier to me me.

Boarding House:
My name is Natasha Vilgrain and I am an active member of Jobs For New Hampshires Graduates.
I came across sunday newspaper on 10/30 where I read about your accomplishment of owning
the boading house that shelters many individuals who have not yet found success.
I was very moved by the front page story written by Shawne Wickham on
your accomplishments and I wanted very much to be a part of it.
I consulted my peers and found they, also were very eager to help with your plight of
securing theese people and making sue they have a home to live in with food and (hopefully)
heat. Therefore JNHG would like to take donations of canned goods, pasta, etc.
(any house hold necessities) to aid you in helping the lesser fortunate people.
If this is an intrest of yours please feel free to contace me via the following:

SOmething I have always wanted to do for the less fortunate was/is to supply them with
food/clothing for the winter. that is when I heard from a friend of mine that during
Christmas each year ___________ Church shelters over 150 people during Christmas.
The less fortunate are fed clothed and cared for.
My idea is to on Christmas day supply these people with baskets of readily prepared food or
food that can be heated at the local shelter or resource center. In these baskets I would
also like to supply house hold items (not all are homeless, but still cannot afford basic necessities)
such as toothpaste, tooth brushes, notebooks for the students,scarves, hats mittens etc.. It is to my knowledge that some
of the individuals who will be sheltered at this church are Louisiana natives
who are having a difficult time adapting or getting a job.
As a non profit charity organization i am well aware it will
be difficult for you to donate food and other previously stated items.
I am asking your organization is you could possibly show support
to us by supplying us with volunteers
who are willing to:
                     -help create baskets by weaving them or by asking other resources
                      for donations,
                     -volunteers to help on Christmas day when we will distribute these care

possibly a fund so that we may buy other necessities such as pillows, blankets,hats,
gloves,and scarves for those who will not have a place to go back to after they
leave the church. Your donation would be much appreciated not only by the vast amount
of people you will be helping this christmas, but also by our organization who has/will
work very hard to aid these people in having a better life.

DOllar Tree:
My name is Natasha Vilgrain and I am an active m,embe rof Jobs fo New Hampshires graduates.
SOmething I have always wanted to do for the less fortunate was/is to supply them with
food/clothing for the winter. that is when I heard from a friend of mine that during
Christmas each year ___________ Church shelters over 150 people during Christmas.
Our expectations for this Christmas will exceede past Christmas' by atleast another hundred
My idea is to on Christmas day supply these people with baskets of readily prepared food or
food that can be heated at the local shelter or resource center. In these baskets I would
also like to supply house hold items (not all are homeless, but still cannot afford basic necessities)
such as toothpaste, tooth brushes, notebooks for the students,scarves, hats mittens etc..
It is to my knowledge that some of the individuals who will be sheltered at this
church are Louisiana natives who are having a difficult time adapting to the state or
getting a job. My request is that your company donate baskets, toothpaste and toothbrushes and
possibly a fund so that we may buy other necessities such as pillows, blankets,hats,
gloves,and scarves for those who will not have a place to go back to after they
leave the church. Your donation would be much appreciated not only by the vast amount
of people you will be helping this christmas, but also by our organization who has/will
work very hard to aid these people in having a better life.
