Abstract
The paper discusses how federal law restricts how soon a retiree can return to a company he or she worked for previously. The paper explains that due to this, when retirees want to return to their workplace as temporary workers, they can avoid this restriction by being placed on a different company's payroll. The paper brings several examples of retirees returning to work for a variety of reasons and motivations.
From the Paper
"For example, the "Happy Returns" program at MidAmerican Energy Company is glad to welcome their employees who retired but wish to come back for temporary work assignments, and they have figured a way to avoid "hassles associated with government regulations regarding defined benefits pensions and employment by a former employer" (Ryberg, 2006). What retirees do when MidAmerican lets them know there is some part time work is actually sign up as temporary employees with Manpower, Inc., not with MidAmerican."

Abstract
In this paper, the author recounts how some of the most fascinating books on modern African-American history have recast the civil rights movement. The author expresses this as an expansive freedom struggle with visionary goals that reach beyond domestic legal battles to attain global significance. The author highlights that in the book "The River of No Return" by Cleveland Sellers and Robert Terrell, black political militancy sought not just civil rights legislation but also broader political and economic gains. He describes how Cleveland Sellers tells of his own personal trajectory and that of many other young African-American activists after the 1964 Democratic Party convention. The author continues to discuss the many important dates in the history of the civil rights movement and committees that were set up, which he states are related to in the book, "The River of No Return".

From the Paper
"It is the national effort made by black people and their supporters in the 1950s and 1960s to eliminate separation and gain equal rights. The initial episode in the movement, a boycott of the city buses in Montgomery, Alabama, was touched off by the refusal of one black woman, Rosa Parks, to give up her seat on a bus to a white person. A number of sit-ins and similar demonstrations followed. A high point of the civil rights movement was a rally by hundreds of thousands in Washington, D.C., in 1963, at which a leader of the movement, Martin Luther King, Jr., gave his "I have a dream" speech. The federal Civil Rights Act of 1964 authorized federal action against segregation in public accommodations, public facilities, and employment. The Voting Rights Act of 1965 was passed after large demonstrations in Selma, Alabama, which drew some violent responses. The Fair Housing Act, prohibiting discrimination by race in housing, was passed in 1968."

Abstract
This paper focuses on the effects of an aging population on financial asset (stocks and bonds) returns in the U.S. for the post-World War II period. The first part of the paper provides a brief review of demographic changes that will confront a selected country during the next half century. The next part presents a review of the empirical literature on demographics and financial asset demands. Next, the paper develops a conceptual framework for analyzing how an aging population triggered by falling birth rates and rising life expectancies affects the demand for financial assets. A discussion of the ideal data set and an outline of the challenges that arise in estimating how population aging will alter aggregate demand follows. Next, the paper builds up the actual models used in this paper and discusses actual data and proxies. Finally, the paper presents new findings and tests empirically the relation between aging and asset returns in the U.S. The conclusion summarizes the main findings and notes areas for future study.

From the Paper
"Sell? Sell to whom? This dilemma might haunt the Baby Boomers in the next century as they attempt to unload their assets to pay for retirement. The rising number of middle-aged workers today is the direct result of the Baby Boom generation, those born in roughly the two decades following World War II. It is this high working population ratio, which has often been identified as an important factor for rises in productivity (see Shimer (1998)). As these boomers age, they will have profound social and economic implications for much of the developed world. The large increase in the ratio of retired workers to those in the labor force during the next three decades will place substantial strains on public pension programs. Just in the U.S. anticipated social security expenditures will outstrip income by 2020. In many other developed nations the fiscal prospect is even more daunting than it is in the United States."

"The Return of Depression Economics", 2002.

Abstract
Paul Krugman's book, The Return of Depression Economics, examines the economies of seven different countries that produce the majority of the economic output of the world, and how each has been affected by major economic slumps throughout the world. This interesting yet very complicated book offers a tour of the major economic crises which have spread across the world in the 1990s, including those of East Asia, Brazil, Mexico, and Russia. Paul Krugman provides brief accounts of the devaluation of Thailand's baht currency, the "financial doomsday machine" created by hedge funds, and the "liquidity trap" of the Japanese economy. Krugman's light journalistic style is easy to read for the most part and is well-targeted at his intended audience. Many of the nine chapters stand very well on their own as slightly extended versions of what is known in the US as op-ed pieces. For example, the chapter on hedge funds contains as clear an explanation of the operation of such funds as a layman could get anywhere. It also contains a number of brief, enlightening and well-written stories under sub-headings like 'The Legend of George Soros' and 'The Madness of Prime Minister Mahathir', and concludes with 'The Panic of 1998' which outlines the demise of Long Term Capital Management. In other chapters there are equally succinct and fascinating stories concerning Mexico, Argentina, Thailand and so on. Some of these extracts ought to make very useful reading to stimulate discussion on undergraduate macro, international or development economics courses. It is the purpose of this paper to examine the major themes of Krugman's book.

Abstract
This a jazz review which discusses the new "Headhunter" album, "Return of the Headhunters", after almost twenty years since they became a group. It analyzes the elements of jazz that are used within the album, including approaches to improvisation, syncopation and bass runs.
From the Paper
"The Headhunters album, Return of the Headhunters, is under Hancock Records of the pianist Herbie Hancock, he is also one of the executive producers. This is one of Hancock?s old bands; he doesn?t make the list of band member but guests on some of the songs. The Headhunters were last together at the end of the 1970?s. This album was released in 1998 and continues with the group?s tradition of jazz fusion and funk.
"Track one is Funk Hunter and includes Herbie Hancock and Patrice Rushen on keyboards, Darrell Smith on keyboard programming, and JK on guitar. The song is melodic with elements of cool jazz. Drums introduce and then continue with constant syncopated snare drum hits. The sax takes a theme and fades in and out between bass and drum patterns. Bass uses repeated runs. This first verse is replayed, with a stompy, prowling feeling. The keyboard goes into a syncopated developmental solo with percussion, bass, and snare accompaniment. The bass and keyboards go into a call and response routine. The theme is restated and a cow bell is heard between snare hits. Sax and keyboard then go into call and response play. The sax leaves and with the keyboard featured there is a restatement of the theme and a fade out."

"Returning to Dwell in Gardens and Fields I", 2008.

Abstract
This paper reviews and discusses "Returning to Dwell in Gardens and Fields I," written by Tao Qian. It describes his work as an elegant and rather autobiographical poem and describes the context in which Qian wrote it. The paper discusses the content of Qian's poetry and the messages that are revealed through it to the contemporary reader.
From the Paper
"As Owen expressed it, the mistake might be made, the poem seems to be saying, of mistaking Tao Qian for a farmer, for he may be seen to work at clearing scrub from the edges of his property, but he explains in the poem that he does not compare himself to the farmers, or to the officials known in the cities, so much as he speaks to humanity or understanding persons, of whatever origin, who might sense the reasons for his choice and departure from a town life that others might very much covet. (See Mirror 234) His poem has done as Tao Qian feels he must, in explaining himself. He writes as though knowing his reader will understand, perhaps a person like himself faced with similar realizations, or having made similar choices. The whole idea of true nature is debatable in that the poet argues he belongs where he was in youth whereas other readers will argue that as a self-conscious farmer, able to describe his present life in relation to something else, that Tao Qian is forever differentiated. As Owen points out, Tao Qian stresses the unity of the self and of the chosen role but even these give away his doubleness, the reader learning how to presume nothing from surfaces and wondering "how inner and outer can be brought together, again." (Mirror 79)"

Abstract
This paper discusses how physicians can screen for the cardiac defect 'total anomalous pulmonary venous return'. It examines the research of treating the problem and it suggests managing the disease through teamwork with a pediatric cardiologist, a cardiac surgeon and neonatologist.
From the Paper
"Total anomalous pulmonary venous return is a congenital heart defect. Caused by the abnormal development of a fetus's heart during the first eight weeks of pregnancy, the vessels that feed blood that has traveled back from the heart to the lungs are improperly connected. During the middle of this fetal development period, the tricuspid valve does not develop properly - ventricular development is influenced by blood flowing through it, and since no blood is able to pass through the tricuspid valve, the right ventricle remains small.In a normal heart, oxygen-poor, or blue, blood returns to the right atrium after it has circulated through the body, travels to the right ventricle and then is pumped through the pulmonary artery into the lungs where it is enriched with oxygen. That oxygen-rich, or red, blood returns to the left atrium from the lungs through four pulmonary veins. It then passes into the left ventricle and is then pumped back out for circulation throughout the body."

"The Return of Martin Guerre", 2002.
This paper examines issues of marriage rights, abandonment, and religion in the context of 16th century France as illustrated by Natalie Zemon Davis?s book, "The Return of Martin Guerre".

Abstract
This paper investigates how women?s choices were severely limited in Catholic France of the 16th century, using as a source "The Return of Martin Guerre". Even though the main character had been abandoned by her husband for many years, according to law she could not seek a divorce. This examination shows how the growing influence of Protestantism and its more liberal views of marriage influenced the choices of the characters in the book, as well as those of everyone in Reformation Europe.
From the Paper
"Marriages of the time, even among peasants, were often arranged more for economic reasons than for any idea of romantic love. There is no evidence presented in the book that Bertrande or Martin knew each other very well before getting married, much less that they were in love. The marriage was most likely arranged by their parents to maximize the economic resources of both families."

"The Return of Martin Guerre", 2005.

Abstract
This paper examines some of the sources Davis used to reconstruct the story of "Martin Guerre" and discusses why identity theft was such a serious crime in sixteenth-century France. It also considers the role of Protestantism in this story (particularly concerning the concept of marriage) and discusses whether justice was served when the real Martin Guerre returned.
From the Paper
"The spread of Protestantism thus could have created an intellectual justification for both Bertrande and the reborn 'Guerre' to validate their union, in their own minds and also in societal terms, where secret and freely chosen marriages were growing more common, and more and more couples were entertaining the possibility of love matches than prearranged alliances. Of course, initially, the desire to gain property may be one reason as well that Bertrande's new husband wished to impersonate her old man Guerre. Bertrande de Rols, was relatively well off, and despite patriarchal norms regarding inheritance, in the French village where she resided, the law regarding female inheritance was fairly equitable in theory, although often contested."
