RJA #13b: Application Project Plan–
For my application project I plan to do a news article. From some of the research I did I made sure to look at some of the fictional books along with real stories of babies that died from SIDS so that I would get a personal feeling for my topic and so that I could really bring out a passionate side to my paper. So with this I want to do a news article of a break through in SIDS after a baby dies and how they were able to pinpoint that the baby died from low serotonin levels in the brainstem. I want to capture an emotional side along with somewhat obvious fiction for what I wish to see happen in the future.
RJA #13c: Application Project Example–
http://www.paragoulddailypress.com/articles/2010/04/23/top_story/doc4bd0f8c7c12ff297736580.txt
I liked this example of an article because it showed emotion. There's facts in the article that are helpful and helpful hints on how to help stop SIDS. There's a personal short story about a grandmother that lost her grandchild to SIDS and how she is helping to raise awareness to the cause. This is all content that I want to circulate my article around. The article shows hope and what people are doing to help fund finding a cure to SIDS.

RJA #12a: Annotated Bibliography, Part 3–
Richardson, B.A. 1994. Sudden Infant Death Syndrome: A Possible Primary Cause. Journal of Forensic Science Soc. Jul-Sep; 34(3):199-204.
In this article is it said that SIDS is a cause from toxic crib mattresses. Claims are made that is vinyl mattresses are wrapped before use that many infant lives will be saved. Although, these claims have numbers that support the thoery, it hasn't been proven. This is a help resource for the fact that it gives a different angle on what a "cause" of SIDS could be.
Coulter, Harris. 1996. Vaccination Debate: Do Vaccines Cause Cot Deaths? Center For Empirical Medicine.
This article shares information of how the early shots/vaccines in babies can cause SIDS. Now, 93 babies have been labeled to have been proven that they died from vaccinations yet on the records they are labeled of dying from SIDS. Finding more information for reasons and causes are what make this article useful.

RJA #11: Annotated Bibliography, Part 2–
Abraham B. Bergman. "The Discovery of Sudden Infant Death Syndrome: Lessons in the Practice of Political Medicine." Praeger Publishers. Westport, CT. 1986.
Abraham Bergman is a well-developed doctor of pediatrics. In this book, the factors that make it interesting are that Abraham Bergman uses a unique look at how political arguments and politics in medicine can affect the research on SIDS. This books goes into the history of SIDS and a wide spectrum from that and how families of the victims can be helped. This is helpful because of the outlook on how the government can play a role on SIDS.
Monica Cane. "A Journey to Healing: Life After SIDS." Jireh Publishing. Copyright September27, 2004.
Monica Cane is an author that writes fiction. This book shows how people can have strength after losing a baby to SIDS. I think a fictional book with a story of SIDS is important to understand the emtional value of my topic. This book is geared towards God for coping. Getting a wide range of understanding and perspectives is important for my research.
SIDS Monitor. "How to Prevent SIDS: SIDS Monitor." December 8, 2009. http://www.howtopreventsids.com/.
This is something I came across doing research, and is something I haven't heard of before. On this website there is a new monitor that monitors a baby while it is sleeping. If there is no movement after 15 seconds there will be a vibration to the baby and if in another 20 seconds there is no movement there will be a loud sound to alert the parents. This website is helpful because it's showing how technology can move forward with the prevention of SIDS.
Eds Roger W Byard, Henry F Kraus. Arnold. "Sudden Infant Death Syndrome: Problems, Progress and Possibilities." Copyright BJM 2001.
Byard and Arnold go way back in this book to get an indepth history of SIDS. A historical point of view is very important to have a complete understanding of how it was formulated that a general consenus was made that infants were dying suddenly. The aurthors provide detailed information from biblical times of what was then called "crib death" which is now known as SIDS.
