Abstract
This paper uses the principles of New Criticism to unearth new meanings and depth to Walt Whitman's poem "I Was in Louisiana a Live-Oak Growing".

From the Paper
"After studying the principles of New Criticism, we have learned that the author's meaning is irrelevant. Instead, we look for tensions and ironies that exist in the text. By using New Criticism, the reader can find unities and ambiguities that open up the text and give the reader deeper insight to the possible meanings and connections in the work. By examining the poem "I Saw in Louisiana a Live-Oak Growing," the reader discovers how New Criticism unearths tensions, ambiguities, and meaning."

Abstract
The following paper will argue that the transportation of hazardous waste from Oak Ridge, Tennessee, to Yucca Mountain, Nevada, while desirable in many ways, will not become widely acceptable until Yucca Mountain is certifiably secured and the public has a more active role in the policymaking surrounding the whole waste clean up process.The paper will start by looking at the recent history of waste management in Oak Ridge and what complications arose from that community's hazardous waste problem. With the history out of the way, the paper will look at the historic difficulties which have complicated efforts to clean-up the area; this discussion - which will be brief - will segue neatly into a broader discussion of the challenges posed, both logistically and in terms of human safety - to moving hazardous waste from Tennessee to Nevada.

Abstract
The paper relates that domestic workers are the most exploited group of workers in Canada and they also have to deal with more discrimination than any other group of workers. The paper notes that these workers had been professionals in their country of origin and then find that they are at the very edge of the labour market in Canada. The paper explains that the central issue for the domestic worker is the live-in requirement and each article focuses on some aspect of that requirement. However, the paper asserts that the live-in requirement has to be understood in terms of law because being live-in resulted in many restrictions on the worker.

This paper discusses the advantages of Google Base and Windows Live Expo and explains why the student likes each.
