"The purpose of this research is to examine issues surrounding the story of captivity of seven-year-old Eunice Williams by Indians in early eighteenth-century Deerfield, Massachusetts, as well as her subsequent decision, first made as an adolescent and repeatedly confirmed as an adult, to remain with the Mohawk Indians at Kahnawake instead of rejoining her biological family. The plan of the research will be to set forth the context in which Eunice's captivity became an issue and then to explore possible reasons that she chose to remain at Kahnawake, with reference to Demos's The Unredeemed Captive and to Axtell's analysis of the not uncommon phenomenon of colonial-era Europeans who made choices similar to that of Eunice Williams.

Abstract
In the paper, different types and processes of motion capture are explained in detail, along with a history of motion capture development and a discussion of what the future of this rapidly evolving technology holds for these three industries of filmmaking, video games and sports.

From the Paper
"Motion capture, motion tracking or mocap, is a technique of digitally recording movements for entertainment, sports and medical applications. Where filmmaking is concerned, motion capture refers to the technique of recording the actions of human actors and using that information to animate digital character models in 3D animation. Motion capture has its origins in the pioneering photography work of moving images conducted by Eadweard Muybridge in the late ...th century, but the first individuals to analyze human and animal motion with video was..."

Abstract
In this article, the writer discusses the compelling documentary, "Capturing the Friedmans" and describes that this film is about a middle-class New York family, who appears to be a functional, happy family on the outside. The writer points out that on the inside something quite different is going on.

From the Paper
"Interestingly enough, the filmmaker, Andrew Jarecki set out to make a film about the top children's party entertainers in New York City. He met one of these entertainers David Friedman, who worked as a clown, and another story began to unravel before his eyes. David is the eldest of three sons of Edith and Arnold Friedman, and all existed in a seemingly typical Jewish family. "

Abstract
The paper explores the issue of benign surveillance and the ethics of capturing customer data and analyzing it to find new strategies to get customers to buy more. The paper also discusses the unethical practice of reselling the information captured from Internet-based marketing campaigns. The paper shows how consumers have become increasingly concerned that their data will be sold without their knowledge, leading to identity theft and junk mail. The paper focuses on the 4th Amendment of the U.S. Constitution and examines the strategies of consumers to protect their identities.

Outline:
Executive Summary
The Ethics of Analyzing Data Obtained Through Benign Surveillance
The Ethics of Creating Strategies Using Data Derived From Benign Surveillance
An Explicit Requirement for Transparency and Ethical Use of Data
Benign Surveillance and Consumers Rights: Interpretations of the 4th Amendment
Opt-Out Options Needed from Data Collected Through Benign Surveillance

From the Paper
"The ethical issues of whether benign surveillance is a commentary of a modern high-tech society or a precedent for ethical misconduct and harm to others is discussed in this paper. There are also the considerations of how data captured and stored in data warehouse is used by programmers and management analysts in the devising of selling and loyalty program strategies (Albrechtslund, 63). The ethical considerations of using data warehouses and data marts constructed from data accumulated through benign surveillance requires an entirely different set of standards, practices and processes (Danna & Gandy, p. 374, 5). The ethics of strategies based on data obtained through benign surveillance have conflicting assessments (Ess, p. 220, 221) that highlight the polarity of the use of online data and enterprise-class predictive analytics software applications to ascertain customer segments and understand their preferences."

Abstract
This paper is a short story about a place that captured the client's memory and holds meaning that may not be sensed by anyone else. It uses narration, description as well as self-analytical commentary to get the reader to see how this place appears, why it holds meaning to the author, and what this means in a larger context of memory and places that become special without us entirely knowing why. It is titled "Books Without Covers" due to a certain appropriate reference within the text.

From the Paper
"There are places we pass every day that hold no meaning beyond garnished store fronts or amiable patios. That flower shop on the corner that we walk past to get to some other place we are going to, that very place might bring the passerby behind us to tears, might make another laugh, another just stand and stare and recall. For everyone it is different, even if it is the same place. But it is rarely ever the same place."

Abstract
This paper presents a discussion of the legal implications of extraordinary renditions and examines the practice within an historical and legal context. Specifically, the paper explores what arguments are used to support the practice, and how its continued use threatens the very fabric of legal democracy and rule of law in the United States and in the world. The paper contends that examining these issues is the most important first step we can take regarding extraordinary renditions; permitting the continued abuse and torture of individuals who have been convicted of no crime is entirely unacceptable.

Outline:
Introduction
Historical Context of United States Renditions
9/11 and Intensification of Renditions
Legal Implications of Extraordinary Renditions
Conclusion

From the Paper
"In order to secretly populate these CIA prisons--or black sites--with sus-pected terrorists, the Bush Administration employed a process known as ex-traordinary rendition. Extraordinary rendition amounts to kidnapping foreign na-tionals and delivering them into facilities under the jurisdiction of a third party (Weaver and Pallitto, 2006). It has been demonstrated that suspects transferred in such a fashion are quite often tortured for information and treated in ways that violate basic human rights, international treaties, and UNITED STATES law. Conveniently for the UNITED STATES government, suspects are sent to nations such as Syria or Egypt where torture is common practice. In fact, it would seem that the only nations to which the United States routinely transfers suspects through extraordinary renditions are those nations that have terrible human rights records. It may well be that the UNITED STATES government has not specific intention of using torture against these suspects, but it should be readily apparent that they are more than willing to reserve the capacity to use torture if the need should arise. If the situation were otherwise, then we should expect any suspect captured to be openly and legally transferred to UNITED STATES detention facilities where their treatment and interrogations could be controlled and monitored under UNITED STATES law."

Abstract
This paper demonstrates the recovery of cell phone data and examines the GSM phone security system and its impact on computer forensics. Next, the author argues that the current GSM phone security relates not only to the intrinsic phone security system but also upon a number of external factors including the ways in which the investigator conducts the inquiry. The paper discuses algorithms, encryptions and SIM cards as they relate to computer forensics.

GSM Security System Forensic SIM Tool's Primary Objective

From the Paper
"To complement GSM security, David Hulton and Steve Muller (2009), director of applications for the high-performance computing company Pico, and researcher for mobile security firm CellCrypt, demonstrated their new techniques to crack the encryption used to prevent eavesdropping on GSM cellular signals in a presentation February 21, 2008 at the Black Hat Security Conference in Washington, D.C. Hulton's and Muller's technique reportedly permits an eavesdropper to record a cell phone conversation on GSM networks miles from the scene and then decode the conversation within an hour or so."

Abstract
This paper details the eyewitness account of the author who kept a journal during her time as a prisoner of war in a concentration camp in the Philippines. This paper details the events that led to the imprisonment of the nurses who were held captive for four years. This paper discusses the conditions under which the nurses were kept during their imprisonment. The author recounts the lack of food and proper medical care during her confinement. Danner's book also delves into the specific people that left a lasting impression on her during her ordeal, including Miss Redecker, the nursing supervisor in charge of the nurses in the POW camp. Danner contends that throughout the ordeal Miss Redecker maintained her dignity and always made a point of treating everyone fairly.

From the Paper
"Miss Redeker, the nursing supervisor in charge of the 12 nurses, stands out as an excellent "boss" and administrator. Throughout the ordeal she maintains dignity and deals with the nurses fairly. She "takes care of them" in the sense that whatever she gets, she shares with them a shanty at one point in the story which she makes available for their use despite her own need for privacy. At one point she works a miracle and gets some money for them: "One evening Miss Redecker came into our room and said solemnly, 'Twenty-five pesos for each of us.' 'Oh, how nice,' Julia said. 'And who do we thank for this?' 'If you do not ask, I will not have to answer,' the chief nurse said, and that was that. It wasn't much, but money meant replenishing the most basic of necessities." At the same time Miss Redecker is very firm and maintains strong discipline. The young nurses obey her unfailingly. When Miss Redecker suggests that they all work every day, for example, despite the fact they do not have to, all the nurses agree."

From the Paper
"James Lockhart, in "The Men of Cajamarca", examines the 1532 event in Peru in which 168 Spaniards captured the emperor of the Incas and radically altered the course of history both in the new World and in Europe, However, Lockhart focuses on the lives of these specific Spaniards in his study.

As Lockhart writes, "In this study the primary interest is not the conquest but the pattern in the lives of the conquerors; therefore the familiar procedure of using social material as background to a narrative presentation will be reversed. The approach taken by the author is based on an "episodic" methodology. The first part of Lockhart's study "contains several analytical chapters on general patterns, social, collective, or organizational. The second contains short biographies of all the men, insofar as that is possible. Social ... "

Abstract
This paper explains that poet Anna Akhmatova, born in Odessa, Russia, in 1889, began writing poetry at the age of eleven and experienced lifelong grief and heartache, which is clearly illustrated in her poetry. The author believes that the "Requiem", a set of fifteen thematically linked verses written in 1935, is one of Akhmatova's best pieces. The paper relates that anyone reading "Requiem" could identify with Verse Four because it describes the time Akhmatova looks back on her life wishing someone would have warned her of the troubles that lay ahead.

From the Paper
"Akhmatova's use of describing emotions felt collectively by the masses of women makes the reader associate with them. One can almost imagine how it would feel to know that your loved one is innocent but locked away, to wait only to hear that the sentence is death, to be strong yet look so weak and desperate. Once these feelings have captured the reader, they become more and more vivid as one finds out Akhmatova's feelings as an individual:
"At dawn they came and took you away.
You were my dead: I walked behind.
In the dark room children cried,
The holy candle gasped for air.""
