Abstract
This paper will discuss the recovery of the striped bass in the Hudson River. It looks at the reasons for a reduction in the number of striped bass in the river, particularly the impact that pollution has had in spawning area and striped bass numbers. It then shows that while the striped bass recovery thus far is outstanding, additional efforts are required if the striped bass population is to continue to thrive.

From the Paper
"However, based on studies of striped bass behaviors, nutritional needs, reproductive rates, and recruitment, such a step could be disastrous for the current recovery effort. Some scientists believe a proposed cleanup by GE of the sediment of the river could re-spread pollution, killing or harming thousands of the existing Hudson population. Further, with an increase in mortality due to commercial fishing, the population of striped bass could rapidly decline. More research, increased recruitment efforts, and continued efforts to keep pollution levels low in the Hudson are needed to maintain the current levels of striped bass. Without careful consideration, the efforts of the last decades that have adequately saved the striped bass in the Hudson River could be destroyed."

Abstract
The writer of this paper examines the various studies done regarding the behavior of the largemouth bass which is currently one of the most popular sporting fish in the U.S. This paper delves into the specific areas that various types of sunfish including largemouth bass and sungill tend to gather, such as slow moving streams or rivers which collect a lot of heat. Studies show that these particular fish prefer the water temperature to be between 77 degrees to 86 degrees Fahrenheit whereas the fishermen prefer the temperature to be lower as it encourages the fish to bite more often than not. The writer presents a clear and concise description of the largemouth bass, detailing its various color patterns as well as its large jaw. This paper discusses the breeding habits of this particular fish which displays a prominent territorial stance during the spawning season. This paper also examines the hunting instincts of the largemouth bass which has been known to hide behind rocks and plants awaiting the opportunity to catch a frog or small fish.

From the Paper
"In the northern parts of the continent, the fish weighs less and is rarely more than 10 pounds, but in the south, there have been sightings of fish weighing more than 20 pounds. The highest record for a catch all over the country is 22 pounds 4 ounces and that was caught in Georgia. Every state has its own record and for example, the record for Florida is a little over 17 pounds. Compared to this fish, there is also a liking for black bass among all freshwater fish. These fish live in a wide area and when they strike, they strike hard and also show great strength during the process of being caught. The fishes are very active and their food includes many things found in water and they will attack all types of bait or lure. The sexual maturity of these fish also comes quite early and at an age of a little over 2 years. The descriptions of the fish in terms of body colors have already been given."

From the Paper
"Today, many Americans are becoming increasingly obese as a result of hanges in lifestyle that have contributed to more sedentary habits at work and play. These trends make the continuing success of sporting goods companies such as Bass Pro Shops all the more intriguing and worthy of study. One of the biggest challenges facing such retail growth industries is the need for in-store security to prevent customer and employee theft, as well as to ensure secure transactions for their online catalog sales. This paper provides a review of the relevant peer-reviewed, scholarly and online organizational resources to identify, detail, and outline security components that will, can, and are currently being used in a retail sporting goods store, a Bass Pro Shop outlet, with both catalog and on-line sales. A summary of the research and important findings are presented in the conclusion."

From the Paper
"Born in New York in 1920, after the end of World War I, Saul Bass grew up during a time in history when the world was going through massive changes. Women had just been granted the right to vote and Margaret Sanger was getting ready to launch the National Birth Control League (United States History, 1999). With the economic boom of the 1920s tumbling into the Great Depression of the 1930s, Bass was still fortunate enough to be able to study art under Howard Trafton at the Art Students League from 1936 to 1939. After World War II he continued his studies under Gyorgy Kepes at Brooklyn College, New York from 1944 1945 (Contemporary Designers, 1997).


In 1946, Bass moved to Los Angeles and started his company Saul Bass and Associates. Although he did mostly graphic design at the time, by 1954, about the time of the Civil Rights..."

Abstract
This seafood research paper outlines some basic facts about striped bass, one of the most popular and succulent fish served in the United States. Basic information about striped bass, including market information, use in menus, potential parasites, commercial fishing information and seasonality is included.

From the Paper
"Striped bass is also known as striped bass, striper, linesider, bass, rockfish, rock, sewer trout and Fr. bar raye. The scientific name for striped bass is Morone saxatilis, and the fish appears in some early scientific literature as Roccus lineatus. Striped bass is a member of the medium- to large-sized, perch-like fishes, and inhabits coastal marine, brackish, and fresh waters in both temperate and tropical regions. This fish species was successfully introduced in into both a large number of inland lakes and reservoirs, and the Pacific coast. Striped bass now are resident from Ensenada, Mexico to British Columbia."

Abstract
This paper discusses the primary distinctions between transformational versus servant styles of leadership. It discusses the article by B. M. Bass, entitled "The Future of Leadership in Learning Organizations." The paper then briefly reviews a classical laboratory type experiment in which the workplace of the Western Electric Company was effectively converted into a working laboratory by several researchers intent on identifying various workplace related environmental factors.

The Hawthorne Experiments

From the Paper
"The Hawthorne Effect (HE) has been used to justify countless workplace policies and initiatives over the years since it was first identified during the 1920s and 1930s. The conclusions drawn from the studies that spawned HE resulted in many factors such as social dynamics among group members in the work environment that implied that employees would improve their performance simply for the reason that they knew they were being observed (Hawthorne, 2004, paras.1-3). The experiments that led to this conclusion were undertaken by Roethlisberger and Dickson who first examined environmental factors in the workplace such as lighting, humidity, and other physically oriented factors but later shifted into psychological factors such as breaks, scheduling, leadership issues, and training issues (Miner, 2002, p.27). These researchers concluded, falsely it seems, that regardless of the type or form of experiment, that the employees involved in the experiment responded positively to any stimulant factor. The original study under these researchers was only intended to last for a period of one year but quickly extended into five years as the researchers could not seem to validate any other conclusion than the one they finally left with."

Abstract
This paper explains that, in the short story, "Days of Heaven", by Rick Bass, the main character comes to terms with his love of the land, although he knows that it will soon be gone and he must bear part of the responsibility for its disappearance; and that, in "The Big Two Hearted River", Ernest Hemingway, wrote of Nick Adams attempts to return to a land he had loved, after it had already been destroyed by development and construction, knowing that it would never be the same. The author points out that nature could be considered a main character in these stories: In one story, the land is about to be destroyed; in the other story the land is renewing itself. The paper relates that each author makes full use of the symbolism and human identity associated with the destruction and renewal.

From the Paper
"Both of these stories display a strong relationship between the main characters and nature. The caretaker in "Days of Heaven" has a longstanding relationship with the land that he has been chosen to care for. To find himself in a position of seeing that land being taken away, land that he strived to keep natural is a great disappointment to him. To put it simply, it is like seeing something you treasure be taken away and destroyed. Imagine the greatest treasure that a person holds dear to their heart being ripped away and sold off into smaller pieces so someone else can use it. How heartbroken would that person be? This is the situation the caretaker finds himself in. He is also somewhat responsible for it, as he cannot or is not doing anything to stop it from happening. The opposite is true of Nick Adams, who has come from a place in his life where he was an element of destruction for nature. He is no longer a part of that life, and has transformed himself into someone who lives with the nature surrounding him. He has found that peace that the caretaker had."

Abstract
This paper explains that the pieces in Miles Davis' jazz CD "Kind of Blue" are loosely composed, consisting of improvisation within a musical framework, which produces a feeling of freedom without the clutter of a larger ensemble. The author points out that, when the listener focuses on just hearing the music, he or she can discover the structure behind the melodies and appreciate each instrument and its player individually. The paper relates that the favorite piece on the CD is "Blue in Green", which is the most melodic piece in the collection; Bill Evans creates a lush and romantic mood and his playing invites the listener to put down whatever he is doing and just listen.

From the Paper
"Bill Evans's piano solos gave a languid feeling with an unhurried, soft touch that was romantic and contemplative. Between the two saxophonists, I preferred the work of John Coltrane, who has a dusky sound that broadens as it gains volume. Cannonball Adderly's alto sax brought the energy level up and made me feel like getting up off the couch and moving around. I was struck by the contrast of these two players and, although alto and tenor saxes play in different registers, the difference in their sound is attributable to more than this. It is a matter of individual style and each musician's approach. This switch in mood makes the CD more interesting and eliminated any possibility of monotony or of boredom on the part of the listener."

Abstract
This paper discusses the first live release, recorded in March, 1999, of Medeski, Martin, and Wood (MMW), "Tonic", a small New York City club, on the lower east side of Manhattan popular with many well-known artists. The author states the post-modern jazz album used a single pair of strategic microphones. The paper reviews each track and describes how various elements such as walking bass, improvisation and syncopation.

From the Paper
"Bud Powell composed track 6, Buster Rides Again. The song is begun by a lightly played piano, which develops the theme. The rhythm section joins in followed by a bass solo accompanied by piano, mriba, and a cow bell. There is a return to the melody then a piano solo accompanied by a walking bass and drums emphasizing cymbal sounds. Bass and piano then go into a call and response until the drums begin a lone solo. Melody is restated and another piano solo initiates the end of the piece."
