From the Paper
"In Blue Chips, there are four key players we are involved with as viewers. First, we are introduced to the star senior, Tony who is played by Anthony C. Hall. He is the classic stereotype player who has trouble with his academics; after all, ?you do more than watch television? in TV class. The next three key players are all new recruits Coach Bell is trying to acquire for the team. Butch (Anfernee 'Penny' Hardaway) and Ricky (Matt Nover) are high school seniors. Butch is actively looking to be recruited and his mother has a list of demands as payment for his letter of intent. Ricky, the farm boy, isn?t sure if he want to go to college, but he?s willing to go for the right reasons; girls and fame. Neon, the third recruit, never actually finished high school, but is very intelligent. We see this when he scores high enough on his GRE to be admitted to college without a high school diploma. Neon doesn?t have any demands for recruitment; his main concern is whether or not he?s happy in college. The players come together as a winning team, but it is an empty, unmoral win to Coach Bell."

From the Paper
"Everywhere one looks, there are pictures of missing children displayed. They appear on milk cartons, in mailboxes and around town. Whether they have disappeared because they wandered off on their own and got lost, or were grabbed by an abductor with dangerous intentions, the result is the same. They are gone, their families are frantic and law enforcement officials scramble to locate the children before something horrible can happen. It only takes a split second. A mother turns her head to greet a friend, a man steps out of a room for a minute, or a child wanders away without letting parents know he is going to do so, and suddenly the child is gone. It is an unimaginable terror for parents as the television crews arrive. Their worst nightmare starts to come true as detectives ask to see a picture of the missing child."

"OPTICAL CHIPS AND CIRCUITS
Technological and theoretical innovations ranging from ranging from DNA computing to optical circuitry hold the potential to revolutionize computing [1:1363]. This paper provides an overview of developments in optical circuitry as these developments apply to computer technology.
In search of new computational power, some researchers are attempting to use light as an information carrier [5:245]. Pulses of light are "the fastest messengers in nature," and the light pulses "pass through one another without effect. That should allow any number of activities to take place simultaneously in an optical circuit" [1:1363].
To construct the elements of an optical circuit, some optics researchers are developing light guides that carry photons around ..."

Abstract
Biotechnology is one of the fastest growing fields in the world. This is evident by how interested the stock market has become in any company that deals in this field. Biotechnology firms have a different organizational culture than companies that are traditional ?Blue Chips.? They are also different from ?Silicon Valley? companies because a majority of the employees at biotechnology firms are scientists. Biotechs differ from ?Blue Chip? companies because most of the ?Blue Chip? employees are in strictly business-related fields, such as finance or marketing. Biotechnology firms are different from ?Silicon Valley? companies because their employees are mostly computer programmers. This paper will discuss these differences by using Human Genome Sciences as the example.

Abstract
This paper introduces, discusses and analyzes "Sonny's Blues" by James Baldwin, a short story set in New York City's Harlem. Specifically, the the paper discusses the role the blues plays in the story. The paper shows that "Sonny?s Blues" is about being lost, and trying to be found, within the context of being a black man in this society; and of finding oneself as so many black men have, through the blues?both as music, and as storytelling.
From the Paper
"But if blacks recognize each other in the rarefied smoky atmosphere of the jazz clubs, black society at large often doesn?t even honor its own. It?s sometimes impossible to earn a living as a musician--something the narrator warned Sonny about after their mother died. The narrator doesn?t even know who Charlie Parker is?perhaps the greatest jazz musician of all time. If blacks themselves can?t recognize the geniuses among them, what chance does Sonny have? ?You?ll have to be patient with me. Now. Who?s this Parker character?? the narrator asks Sonny, who becomes sullen and turns his back. ?He?s just one of the greatest jazz musicians alive.? Sonny, too, will turn out to be a creative genius. For the black man, this means spontaneous improvisation: ?Baldwin?s bastardized characters must legitimize self through endless improvisation?[they] begin with memory, then bursts out into improvised song.? (Tsomondo, p. 197)"

The blues is a form of music that originated in black Harlem in New York City in the 1920s and 1930s. It has always been a kind of melancholy music that illustrates the unhappiness and unsettled lives of black Americans."

From the Paper
"The Mississippi Delta is not a large area geographically, yet writer Robert Palmer argues that it has contributed more to American music than any other region (Palmer, 1993, p. 11). Famous Delta blues musicians include Robert Johnson, Charley Patton, B.B. King, Sonny Boy Williamson, Muddy Waters, Floyd Jones and Howlin' Wolf. And even though Delta natives such as Albert King and John Lee Hooker left for more promising opportunities elsewhere, hundreds of other artists stayed behind and kept the blues tradition alive at home where today it is played at weddings, house parties, fish fries, juke joints and festivals (Clarksdale, 1999)."
