Abstract
This paper explains and analyzes LDAP technology in detail and provides an overview of its history. The writer discusses how it works, its uses and its limitations. The dominating technology innovation to the LDAP, Active Directory service, was introduced by Microsoft with Windows 2000. AD represents a virtual and hoped for solution to the traditional challenges of LDAP servers. The paper concludes that the greatest benefit that AD provides today is not as a competitor with LDAP but as an innovator and enhancer of the network protocol technology thereof. This paper contains a table.

From the Paper
"LDAP's were originally integrated as what are known as gateway servers, whereby the LDAP gateway handles information transfer that formerly the client had to process through their own protocols, without access to any others, thus clarifying the general benefit and function of LDAP as interoperability. With the development of LDAP, it became clear that the original X.500 DSA was too cumbersome a technology for the streamlined access that LDAP's were providing. Thus, LDAP absorbed many of the processes of X.500, and departed from X.500 thereof, achieving the technology to run independently, providing streamlined protocol service to clients thereof, in 1994."

Abstract
The films by director Spike Lee are not trivial, mindless films that require suspension of disbelief. His films provide the viewer with an insightful social commentary on contemporary race relations. This paper is an analysis of Spike Lee's directorial style. Lee's directorial style, stylistic tendencies, stories, and work as a whole are explored in this paper by comparing his films "Do the Right Thing" and "Malcolm X".

Abstract
This paper evaluates the films created by Burton in an effort to uncover what distinguishes his directorial style from mainstream Hollywood filmmaking, why he acquired this predilection and hang on to such artistic viewpoint, and how his films' inordinate preoccupation with the weird and the morbid hit if off with both the critics and the box-office.

From the Paper
"Burton began drawing at an early age, but it wasn't until he has spent some time at California Institute of the Arts that he was given an opportunity that would change his life forever. Disney, after seeing Burton's artwork, hired him immediately. Amazingly, they didn't even have a job that specifically fit what he could do. He was hired on the basis that if Disney didn't hire him, someone else would. Long and tedious hours were burned away as Burton worked continuously on creating ideas for Disney. What he came up with wasn't exactly what Disney had hoped for. He developed two short films, Vincent (1982) and Frankenweenie (1984). The first film was a "claymation" (a film animation whose characters are sculpted from clay) tribute to his idol Vincent Price and, although not the most publicized film from the Disney Studios, it was certainly the most unusual because of the combination of bizarre characters and the constantly shifting expressionist backgrounds1.

Abstract
This paper seeks to analyze the directorial aspects of a couple that lived a cage for three days. By becoming "Circus Freaks" in an old custom that depicted South American Indians as savages, they see seek to explore how people would react in a city environment in Columbia, South America. By seeing the filming, the racial perspectives, and the reactions the couple get, we can see how this film provokes historical revisions on Indian heritage.

Abstract
This paper explains that the Windows Server 2003 Operating System (OS) uses the most important features of Windows 2000 Server technology but makes it simpler to install, manage and use, resulting in an extremely high productive infrastructure, which aids in making the network a strategic asset for an organization. The author points out that Microsoft has enhanced and extended Windows Server OS by including the advantages of 'Microsoft NET' for linking up people, systems and devices. The paper relates that the Active Directory, the integrated, distributed directory service that comes with Microsoft Windows Server 2003, helps the administrator of the organization add a user to Active Directory by means of a single entry, permits remote access to the network, enables the identical user account for exchange messaging and co-ordinates the same user with database access for accounting, client relationship management or other applications.

From the Paper
"The impact of the defunct action is reversible, and it does not purge schema objects from the database, but instead "takes them out of order." such that it is possible to reuse them. The schema re-define is enabled at the Windows Server 2003 forest functional level. Apart from that, adding new attributes to the global catalog does not cause GCs to perform full synchronization like it used to. Windows Sever 2003 replicates only added attributes between Windows Server 2003 domain controllers. It will again do a full synchronization when the destination is a Windows 2000 DC. However, the biggest change in case of Applications in Windows Server 2003 Active Directory is the capability to create Application Partitions which are basically partitions in Active Directory similar to other partitions (Domain, Configuration, Schema), however can be created on any DC in the forest and duplicated to any other DC in the forest by choice."

Abstract
This paper provides an insight into Unix and Windows 2000, both operating systems that allow distributed data processing. Distributed processing is quite different from the multiprocessor systems in that in a distributed process management system the computers have their own memory and are relatively autonomous. It examines how the Unix Operating System has Satellite processors, Newcastle Distributed System and the Transparent Distributed system models for implementing distributed processing services while Windows 2000 is managed by the Windows Registry and the Active directory tools.

From the Paper
"In Windows 2000 the Active Directory service constitutes the main core of the network objects management. It uses the Domain Name System standard for naming the domains in the hierarchical structure. The Active Directory is the central network resource management tool. This is different from Windows NT where the SAM assumed more importance. The Active Directory has all the information regarding the network objects. In windows 2000 any object like a network site or a workstation, printers, groups and any other resources that are to be shared is a network object. The Active directory database maintains all the entries pertaining to the various network objects classified into separate domains to restrict their access privileges to the respective domains. The Active directory ensures the efficient distribution of system resources while at the same time it provides the necessary security against unauthorized access of network resources."

Abstract
This piece is asurvey of Napoleon's military career, written in non-technical terms for an undergraduate audience. The piece first describes Napoleon's early successes as the leader of several artillery regiments, followed by an impressive squelching of an insurgency which threatened the French Directory. The narrative then discusses Napoleon's ability to, with a small, efficient, and tightly controlled army, isolate and conquer France's enemies by building strategic alliances and removing dissent. Napoleon's growing ambition to control Europe when he became Emperor, his inability to enforce his own economic policies, his failure to control large armies, and his growing arrogance are described as causing the eventual downfall of this brilliant but flawed military strategist.

Abstract
The "Al-Mosbah", also known as the Muslim Electronic Directory is a small portable computer device containing materials such as a text of the Q'uran, an Arabic-English dictionary and prayer times. In order to promote this product successfully, this paper looks at the various marketing elements and necessary conditions needed. It shows, for example, that one of the products advantages is that it serves two communities - the English speaking and the Islamic.

From the Paper
"Marketing is the process of selling, but it involves a wide variety of functions--research, market analysis, the development of strategy, the development of the product itself, and so on. Marketing research meant to develop information, and it is emphasized that business marketing requires knowing what customers value, how value is defined, how value is measured, and how valuable products and services are to the customer. What is then needed is a marketing strategy that will sell the product or service. Each business must first know what the customer values and so how to appeal to the customer to show that your product or service can fulfill that value."
