Overall the median household and personal income decreased for those with more than a 9th grade education but less than a four-year college degree since 1991. In other words, the median household income decreased for households and individuals at the high school drop-outs and graduate, some-college, and an Associates degree level. Income did, however, increase for those with a Bachelor's degree or more. The following table shows the median household income according to the educational attainment of the householder. All data is in 2003 dollars and only applies to householders whose householder is aged twenty-five or older. The highest and lowest points of the median household income are presented in bold face.

1-11 Five Themes World City due next week. Current Event: Saudi Arabia The Mission Celebration Do celebrations reflect physical or cultural geography? Carnival or Mardi Gras Followers of the Roman Catholic religion in Italy started the tradition of holding a wild costume festival right before the first day of Lent. Because Catholics are not supposed to eat meat during Lent, they called their festival, carnevale which means to put away the meat. As time passed, carnivals in Italy became quite famous; and in fact the practice spread to France, Spain, and all the Catholic countries in Europe. Then as the French, Spanish, and Portuguese began to take control of the Americas and other parts of the world, they brought with them their tradition of celebrating carnival.

Penance: Describe Rodrigos Penitence. Why? How Long? Was he forgiven? Who forgives? What had Rodrigo done to the Guarani? Why did Rodrigo cry and laugh at the top of the falls? What is Penance? 1. a punishment undergone in token of penitence for sin. 2. a penitential discipline imposed by church authority. 3. a sacrament, as in the Roman Catholic Church, consisting in a confession of sin, made with sorrow and with the intention of amendment, followed by the forgiveness of the sin. Rodrigo accepted as a novice Jesuit priest.

Geographic Location: 25 degrees 25 minutes South and 57 degrees 30 minutes West What continent might this city be on? Do I start with the primary latitude line (Equator) or primary longitude line (Prime Meridian)? Why were black slaves brought to the Americas from West Africa? SMALL POX IN THE AMERICAS Using an estimate of approximately 30 million people (native Americans) in 1492 (including 15 million in the Aztec Empire and six million in the Inca Empire), the lowest estimates give a death toll due from disease of an astonishing 80% by the end of the 17th century (eight million people in 1650).

Triangular Trade

Plantation Agriculture Requiring Cheap Labor Sugar -- Around the eighth century A.D., Arab traders introduced sugar from South Asia to the Mediterranean, Mesopotamia, Egypt, North Africa, and Spain. It was among the early crops brought to the Americas by the Spanish from their fields in the Canary Islands, and the Portuguese from their fields in the Madeira Island. Coffee -- From Ethiopia, coffee was said to have spread to Egypt and Yemen. The earliest credible evidence of either coffee drinking or knowledge of the coffee tree appears in the middle of the fifteenth century, in the Sufi monasteries of Yemen. By the 16th century, it had reached the rest of the Middle East, Persia, Turkey, and northern Africa. Coffee then spread to Balkans, Italy, and to the rest of Europe, to Indonesia, and to the Americas. Banana Southeast Asian farmers first domesticated bananas. Pirates and Rum -Caribbean captains took advantage of a cheaper and more readily available source of liquid sold by local sugar cane plantations called "kil devil" a foul tasting by-product of sugar cane processing which later became known as rum. In fiction, Robert Louis Stevenson gave rum to history thanks to Captain Billy Bones in the book, Treasure Island, the alcoholic beverage most associated with pirates is rum. 1-13 Current Event A world city described using the 5 Themes of Geography due by the end of the week. 300 points (Example of Paris not included) (The Mission quiz not included) 1-14 What is it?
