Abstract
This paper discusses the general pattern of the Philip's curve from 1990-1999 as what would be expected. There is an inverse relationship between the inflation rate and unemployment rate. During the years 2000-2002, the same inverse relationship exists. However, the curve changes in 2003-2005, with both inflation and unemployment increasing.

Abstract
The paper explains that the Blackberry Curve is a series of wireless PDA devices allowing for sending and receiving e-mail and serving as a notebook for the user. The paper relates that the Blackberry was first introduced in 1999 as a two-way pager and developed into a full-service personal digital assistant and a telephone. The paper discusse show the product was introduced by a Canadian company called Research in Motion (RIM) and its achieved success because it offered the advantage of a PDA with e-mail capabilities, putting it ahead of most other PDA devices of the time.

Abstract
This paper examines three reviews of "The Bell Curve" by Herrnstein and Murray. All three reviewers denounce the lack of scientific rigour in the authors' use of the concepts of intelligence and race, and correctly demonstrate the racism of their assumptions.

From the Paper
"In Harvard, professors Richard Herrnstein and Charles Murray published a book entitled "The Bell Curve: Class Structure and the Future of America." While the authors coyly disavowed any racist intent, the book is essentially an ideologically driven unscientific tract that claims with no valid evidence that race, intelligence and social class are all intrinsically linked. If one is to judge from the three reviews I have consulted. "In Intelligence and Ideology A Review Essay of The Bell Curve" reviewer John C Culbertson gives the..."

Abstract
This paper deals with the market fluctuations which occur as a result of industry and economic factors as well as public opinion. Also addressed are yield curve changes and how they will affect a company and what they indicate about an economy.

From the Paper
"As the CEO of a major manufacturing enterprise, located in Canada, it would be extremely important to have an informative outlook regarding market factors in Canada as well as those factors present in the United States. One reason the U.S. is important to many Canadian companies is due to the trade relationships, which are ongoing between companies as a result of the North American Free Trade Agreement (Benefits of NAFTA). This agreement created reductions in tariffs and as a result directly influenced positive relations between not only Canada and the U.S. but also the U.S. and Mexico. However even after the reassurances of NAFTA were put in place there are still many obvious factors, which must be watched in order to determine that a positive financial relationship will continue to grow and that is the financial stability of a country.

Abstract
This paper discusses the importance and application and insights in Henry Stommel and Gabriel Csanady's article "A Relation Between T-S Curve and Global Heat and Atmospheric Water Transports." The writer explains how Stommel and Csanady shed significant light on the means by which to devise a more organized system of interaction that integrates the two independently observed systems of hydrologic cycles and global heat transport. Through their construction of given physical conditions in defined planes of the earth's atmosphere, they have created a laboratory for oceanographers to observe the behavioral impact of atmospheric conditions on water. The behavior of water is determined by its flow, which is a direct product of the location of saline levels.

From the Paper
"This article provides significant physical formulaic insight into the means by which to extrapolate the properties of each system to reveal a cohesive dynamic by which these two systems may interact to predict and determine water flow and water levels in oceans that have enormous atmospheric implications overall. The earth is dependent not only on water, but a relatively predictable and consistent behavior of that water thereof. The more the geophysical oceanographer can organize the atmospheric and hydrologic behavior that sustains basically all organic systems on earth, the more effectively can science seek to preserve that system and better understand the ramification of various current environmental stressors on the effective functioning of those systems thereof, both now and more importantly in the future."

Abstract
This paper reviews Murray and Herrnstein's, "The Bell Curve", a book which created a huge controversy when the research findings described how some races are more intelligent than others. The paper outlines the many factors that the authors of this book failed to take into account, and illustrates how this encouraged a biased and controversial outcome.

From the Paper
"In the book, "The Bell Curve", Murray and Herrnstein state their findings on intelligence and factors that influence it as well as factors that intelligence influences. The authors base a lot of their research on Spearman's controversial general intelligence (g factor) theory of a "general mental capacity"(Myers). According to Murray and Herrnstein, the g factor can be measured by standard intelligence tests. Their research resulted in findings such as: Blacks' IQ scores are about 15 points lower than whites; low IQ causes social problems such as poverty, crime, illegitimacy, etc.; high IQ is the main contributing factor in success and income level; and social programs are pointless because nothing can be done to raise IQ. They also stress an ever increasing gap between the those with high IQs, called the cognitive elite, and those with low IQs. They claim that this is happening because of the heritability of intelligence, the tendency of those with high intelligence to marry others of high intelligence, and those with low or average intelligence seem to marry others with low or average intelligence."

From the Paper
"The Bell Curve, by Charles Murray and Richard Hernstein, has proven to be one of the most controversial books of the decade. A detailed examination of intelligence scores, including analyses across class, gender, and (most controversially) race, The Bell Curve has been a magnet for criticism ever since its publication. The most valid criticisms of the work took the authors to task for committing methodological errors, primarily that of crossing levels of analysis (intelligence tests are individual level measures, yet the authors often treated them as group level measures by aggregating scores and making group distinctions). However, few such critical articles were as reasoned as these, most criticisms on a political or social perspective, scorning the authors for an implied racism in their conclusions. Yet another, smaller, class of criticism examines the theoretical under.."

From the Paper
"Statisticians work with large masses of data. Before any conclusions can be drawn from such data, it must be condensed and arranged in a usable form. One of the most common ways to summarize and describe a mass of data is to arrange a frequency distribution table. These tables can then be graphed with the frequency scale on the y-axis and the interval being graphed on the x-axis. Above each interval a horizontal line is drawn which corresponds to the frequency of the interval, resulting in a stair-step histogram pattern. Connecting the midpoints of these class intervals produces a frequency polygon and an interval curve. Distribution curves which can be "folded" vertically so that the two halves of the curve are essentially the same are said to be bilaterally symmetrical. Perfectly symmetrical curves which have a bell shape are said to be normal curves, or Gaussian curve ... "

Abstract
Contends that the operations of the U.S. Federal Reserve cannot protect an economy from supply shocks. The increase in gas prices in the United States since 2002 has led to inflation that is not caused by an over-extended economy, and is therefore not able to be controlled without high levels of unemployment.

From the Paper
"The open market operations of central banks such as the Federal Reserve Bank of the United States or the European Central Bank of the countries in the European Union that adopted the Euro fine-tune their economies by controlling the money supply. The success of such measures is based upon the theory summed up in the Phillips curve that unemployment and inflation are inversely related. These measures cannot protect an economy from supply shocks, however. The increase in gas prices in the United States..."
