Abstract
This paper relates that the Emperor Diocletian rose through the orders by virtue of military skill, brilliance, and flexible scruples and how in preparation for his retirement, Diocletian had built a huge structure on the Dalmatian coast, a few miles from Salona. It also looks at how what began as a villa eventually became a a permanent settlement as the city of Split developed.
From the Paper
"While there will probably never be definitive evidence of when the inhabitation which became Split took place, it is unlikely that the palace was ever entirely derelict. It was simply to fine a resource to pass up, and while it may have been many decades before there was any substantial permanent settlement here, it seems highly doubtful that the palace was ever truly deserted. (Wilkes, 88) While the precise nature of the inhabitation at Split during the early years remains questionable, the city always seems to have been regarded as autonomous, and by the time Constantine Porphyrogenitus chronicled it, it was essentially independent and remained so until the Venetians gained control in the fifteenth century. (Plommer, 256) "

Abstract
This essay discusses the main theme of the above-entitled book--the conflict between the intellectual content of Arab nationalism and the realities of the Middle East in modern times and the resulting disillusionment and alienation of many Arab intellectuals. The main focus of the essay is Chapter One, The Suicide of Khalil Hawi: Requiem for a Generation, with reference to excerpts from other chapters and other sources with respect to the period leading up to Hawi's death on June 6, 1982.
From the Paper
"Hawi was a Christian Arab of Greek Orthodox origins who was born in December 1919 and grew up in mountainous areas east of Beirut, Lebanon. He was exposed at an early age to the ravages of the Turks and the hardships of post-World War I Lebanon. He became well-known as an Arab poet and as a professor at the American University in Beirut (AUB) and at Cambridge University in England. Ajami uses his life and the development of his thought to trace the disenchantment and despair his generation of Arab intellectuals felt toward the directions Arab nationalism had taken since the days of his youth."

Abstract
"Fouad Ajami?s The Dream Palace of the Arabs is a tale both of a place and of a generation. It is in many ways a hagiography of the world of the Arab intellectual in the 20th century, a world lived in large measure in exile, sometimes even from within the intellectual?s native land.
From the Paper
"Fouad Ajami?s The Dream Palace of the Arabs is a tale both of a place and of a generation. It is in many ways a hagiography of the world of the Arab intellectual in the 20th century, a world lived in large measure in exile, sometimes even from within the intellectual?s native land. It is a tale of theocracy and artistic freedom, of longing for belonging, of the passionate desire to find out who one is and why it is that one is different from both peoples in other places and from peoples in other times. This paper looks at some of the themes in this book as they are laid out in Ajami?s prologue and connects these themes to other authors exploring some of the same subjects.
Ajami is writing the story of the world of ideas in which intellectual Arabs have immersed themselves ? or tried to immerse themselves ? during the years more or less after World War II and the..."

From the Paper
"The 1990?s were the bubble years, the dot.com era, or whatever euphemism suits to describe the booming years of Silicon Valley, Wall Street and Internet businesses. They were years that created millionaires literally overnight. Businesses that began in basements and garages by college kids, suddenly appeared on the trading boards of the Stock Market Exchange. It seemed that anything to do with computers turned to gold. American life became high-tech. Suddenly everyone had cell phones, from professionals to soccer moms and teenagers. And personal computers became a fixture in American homes. The Information Superhighway was up and running and Americans were encouraged, not only by advertisers, but even by the government to travel it. It was ?American? to log-on and surf the Web. The computer world was the darling of Wall Street and the express train to wealth and happiness for the American public. Moreover, it was an era of the young."

(Perkins 200) A stock analysis statistic in which the current price of a stock (today's last sale price) is divided by the reported actual (or sometimes projected, which would be forecast) earnings per share of the issuing firm; it is also called the "multiple.? (Buckman 2001) Market determined P/E ratios include not only earnings and sales growth but also the risk and volatility of the company's performance, the debt-equity structure and other factors.

Abstract
This paper reviews Mathew Parkhill's 2003 film, the psychological thriller, "Dot The I." It analyzes the use of the narrative form and narratology to communicate the primary theme and story content in the film. The paper shows, giving examples, how the film utilizes a predominantly classical narrative strategy but that it includes innovative production values and story telling techniques, which are characteristic of the modernist narrative approach.
From the Paper
"Mathew Parkhill's "Dot The I" utilizes a limited third person narrative and complimentary elements of montage and mise en scene, which leave clues that inevitably lead to the conclusion that Carmen, the main protagonist, is a naive hero. The film utilizes a predominantly classical narrative strategy but includes innovative production values and story telling techniques, which are characteristic of the modernist narrative approach."

Dot-Com Crash, 2002.
This paper examines some of the factors that caused the dot-com crash.

Abstract
This paper discusses how many believe the root cause of the dot-com crash was overvaluation of stock prices relative to the actual underlying value of the companies themselves. It explains that stocks of internet companies traded at Price-Earning ratios of higher then 30, buoyed by a speculative bubble. When reality set in for investors, many realized that the companies that they were so heavily invested in were little more then money sucking black holes with no upside potential in the near or long term future. It explains how this in turn triggered mass sell-offs of not only internet related stocks but soon impacted the market value of many companies associated with computer, network or telecommunications industries. This paper shows, in fact, that overvaluation was more a symptom of the speculative boom and was only one of the multi-faceted factors that contributed to the internet boom turning into the Internet bust.
From the Paper
"The casualty numbers for dot-com mania are staggering. In the year since April 2000, the technology-heavy Nasdaq has lost more than $2 trillion in value. Once high flying companies like Excite.com, have disappeared off of the charts, busted, bankrupt and out of business. During the last 36 months, 93,079 Internet-related jobs have been cut nationwide (Cassidy 2002). At least 4,854 Internet companies have either been acquired or have shut down in the three years since the dot.com investment boom peaked in the first quarter of 2000. Of these 4,854 plus Internet companies, at least 962 of them have been substantial Internet companies who have either shut down or declared bankruptcy. Unemployment figures for the San Francisco bay area, once the engine that drove the Internet economy to dazzling heights, now hovers around 7 percent (U.S. Department of Labor)."
