A contrast between the ideas of WEB Du Bois and Booker T Washington concerning the education of African-Americans. The paper focuses on the critique of Washington offered by Du Bois in his work The Souls of Black Folk. The paper suggests that Washington's insistence on vocational and technical training for blacks is seen by Du Bois as too materialistic and not sufficiently devoted to the idea of equality. The paper then discusses Du Bois's own suggested program, that blacks should insist upon the same sort of educational experience as whites, in the interest of dignity and equality.

During the period directly prior to the IPO, the markets were experiencing excessive optimism in regards to technology stock. Technology stocks during this period were valued very high relative to their intrinsic worth. In fact, many companies during this period were trading at thousands of times their prior year earnings.

The Palm IPO was a direct response to this mass euphoria surrounding technology stocks.

I would suspect that the fixed costs of contributing to employee's retirement funds (Risk Analysis Research Center, 2009, p. 4) and also their restriction from closing local offices (Slentz and McCann, 2009, p. 12) contributes to higher fixed cost at USPS than FedEx because FedEx is not unionized and while UPS is unionized, and thus experiences a fixed cost that is incurred to the level of union contracts, those contracts are more negotiable for UPS than USPS, and nonexistent or fluid for FedEx. Furthermore while union contracts probably affect the rate of closure for physical facilities for UPS, this would probably be more negotiable than for USPS and FedEx especially if FedEx operates totally under ‘right to work' management structures. The fixed cost USPS inherits from its special status as an ‘off-budget' but still in some ways regulated recipient of federal transfers mandates it upholds these precedents from an era without UPS or FedEx.
