Much Awaited 7th Harry Potter Installment Released
It has been 10 years since the 1st volume of the Harry Potter series was released. Today, the 7th, and purportedly final, installment reaches bookshelves worldwide. Pottermania is at an all time high, with millions preordering copies of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows online. At least 3 copies of the book have been posted on the internet, but officials refuse to reveal which, if any, is the legitimate copy. Regardless of the rumors and spoilers, fans excitedly await Harry Potter's final adventure.Wall Street
Wall Street is a narrow street in lower Manhattan, New York City, extending east from Broadway to the East River. It is the center of one of the greatest financial districts in the world. As the first permanent home of the New York Stock Exchange, the term "Wall Street" has come to denote US financial interests. Many New York financial firms, however, are no longer headquartered on Wall Street, but elsewhere in Manhattan, Connecticut, or New Jersey. Where did Wall Street get its name?
