For the first time since 1990, the taxable bond
market, as measured by the Lehman Brothers

date through November, while the S&P 500 was down
by approximately the same amount. Disappointing
corporate earnings and uncertainty concerning a
president-elect toppled the stock market late in
the period. While it's impossible to predict the

Rose For Emily Homer Barron
868 words
The townspeople's attitudes in " A Rose for Emily"
are typical of a small town. Small towns have the

judgmental people that exist. Having been born and
raised in a small town in Mississippi, I
completely understand the townspeople in " A Rose
for Emily. " It is mainly the women that are
concerned with others' business. They have nothing
to do during the day, so they sit and gossip with
each other. Questions get asked while these women
sit and gossip...

Boot Camps Recidivism Rates
1,066 words
In 1983, the first Juvenile Boot Camp was opened
in Georgia. These Juvenile camps have become a
very popular answer in controlling the behavior of
our youths. The adult system was using boot camps
for a few years before the juvenile system did.

right away was, because there were questions about
their appropriateness for delinquents. Due to the
increase population of juvenile offenders, the
facilities started to overcrowd. Therefore, the
correctiona...

business has been to promote the interests of
stockholders. Higher wages and higher profits are
compatible over the long run in a growing economy.
Conflict does arise, however, from the fact that

Troilus And Criseyde Chaucer

In Todays writing, writers conform to the readers
wants and needs, contrary to the writers of the 13

wrote from the heart not from the pocket book.

The four-century-long Han rule is divided into two
periods: the Earlier or Western Han and the Later
or Eastern Han. In between these two was the
short-lived Hsin Dynasty (AD 9 - 23). The Chinese

Thesis: Feudalism Feudalism Thesis: Feudalism was
a bust because it started a way of putting things
into classes and that way of life has continued
until today. The reason that classifying things
