From the Paper
" Malcolm X was the leader and icon of the Black Nationalist movement as spokesperson for the Nation of Islam. He was a minister for the National of Islam and preached a message of black nationhood that appealed to a far broader audience. He saw separatism as self-determination and criticized reliance on whites to achieve black progress. Recently, the FBI file on Malcolm X has been released. In the introductory material to a published edition of these files, Clayborne Carson suggests that the reason Malcolm X was the target of an FBI investigation was that he was successful at being a spokesperson for blacks and that he achieved a national and even international position as a result. Carson says the publication of these files should be part of an effort "to study him within the context of American racial politics during the 1950s and 1960s" (4)."

"Introduction
The Internet connects millions of people around the world who would otherwise not be able to communicate with one another. To connect to the Internet, users need a computer, access to an Internet connection (usually through an on-line provider or directly), a phone line, and a great deal of patience to sort through the large variety of information available. Once connected, users can communicate directly with one another, or they can send e-mail, or browse through information that others have left. One of the most popular uses of the Internet is to download information, either text or graphics, to the user's own computer. Because of the various hardware and software involved, this can be a complicated process. Several protocols have emerged which make these transfers possible; this research examines the TCP/IP protocol.."

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper examines how Windows 2000, XP and Server 2003, collectively referred to as Windows NT 5.x support a limited number of file systems, each having a specific purpose. It looks at how Windows NT 5.x provides all the basic file system services expected of a modern operating system through its small set of general-purpose and specialized file systems.
From the Paper
"NTFS is a modern general-purpose file system. It supports journaling, in order to more quickly restore the file system to a consistent state after an incorrect shutdown. (AlistairMcMillan, et. al. 2005) NTFS has robust metadata support, with a built-in ability to add new file attributes, which Microsoft has used to add features such as DFS indexing, which was not originally intended as a feature of NTFS. One use of this metadata is the file ownership and permissions model used on Windows NT 5.x. File ownership and access control permissions are stored as file metadata. These access control lists, or ACLs can express a sophisticated set of permissions, based on listing which users and groups of users have permission to perform certain actions on a file. Available actions include reading the data in the file, modifying the file and executing it, if it is a program. NTFS has alternate data streams to support multi-part files such as the split resource fork and data fork used on Mac OS."

Abstract
This paper describes the policies, procedures and state laws that are concerned with the mandatory reporting of child abuse by certain mandated reporters such as teachers, social workers, therapists and other state departmental workers; all of which are designated by law to be mandated reporters. This paper focuses on teachers as mandated reporters and how this legal provision might impact their performance in the classroom, how it might influence the way they interact with the children in their class and the parents of these children and finally any barriers to reporting child abuse that might be noted by teachers, which could reduce the effectiveness of the mandated reporting system. The paper provides a brief look at how child abuse can affect the behavior and learning abilities of the child and a review of the basic wording of the mandated reporting law, as well as a few state variations on the federal law. It then provides a literature review to try and determine the impact that the mandated reporting law might have on teachers, including any barriers to mandated reporting experienced by teachers. The paper is supported by journal references written between 2000 and 2005.

From the Paper
"Rebecca Bolen (2003) also supported the notion that schools could and should provide the best environment for helping to address issues surrounding child sex abuse, and increasing awareness of how the problem can be reduced, and how victims can be helped by resources in the community. Bolen describes that the prevention programs in place at many schools today include three objectives - firstly to teach children about the concept of sexual abuse including teaching on what is known as "bad" touching in private places; secondly children are taught about how they can refuse to be touched in such a manner and what methods they should use to "get away" and "tell on" the person and finally helping these children to tell an adult that they trust about the incident, so that this person won't prey on other children."

Abstract
This paper discusses whether file sharing should be permitted, taking into account the legal issues. This paper also takes a look at the website methodology of file sharing, currently centered on music but which will expand to include motion pictures once the broadband issues are solved allowing large files to be easily transferred.
From the Paper
"The computer revolution put a computer in virtually every home, creating many new opportunities for users to access information, use a new means of communication, find new ways to engage in commerce, and other possibilities. One of the possibilities explored by many has been file sharing, or the sending of files to other people over the Internet. In popular parlance, file sharing more often means specifically the sharing of music files, which is only one of the types of file that can be shared. Because such files are digital, there is virtually no loss of quality from the original recording, meaning that millions of perfect copies can be downloaded from websites without payments being made to copyright holders. This created an economic threat to the music industry first and more recently to the film industry (since films can be sent over the Internet in digital form as well). "

Abstract
In this examination of "The Autobiography of Malcolm X: As Told to Alex Haley", by Malcolm X and Alex Haley, the author highlights many pertinent points from the book and about the life of Malcolm X. The author tells us that the book looks at the era in which Malcolm X lived as a time when racism was running rampant in the United States. As a result of his experiences Malcolm X became an angry activist who hated everything that white society represented. The paper describes how Malcolm X himself became a racist and he believed that all whites were evil, after his conversion to Islam. The author delves into this further pointing out what made Malcolm X change his way of thinking to become a well known civil rights activist, who is still thought of in a positive light today. Finally the paper reiterates the major changes that Malcolm X went through during his life to make him a key leader of the black civil rights movement in the United States.
From the Paper
"Malcolm continued to have a great loyalty to Muhammad, even when Muhammad became too old to actively participate in Nation events. Malcolm then became more and more active in the groups decision making processes. It was at this time that Malcolm and Muhammad noticed that have had some differences in ideology. While they both wished to fight for black rights, Muhammad's goal was to create a completely separate black nation-state that would have a different economy and culture than the rest of the country. Malcolm, however, believed that this would only happen if they took care of the poor black people living in ghettos first. Malcolm wanted the group to become more involved with politics and to change America as a whole, rather than just trying to separate black America from white America. These differing philosophies, as well as Malcolm's growing influence led to Muhammad trying to have Malcolm killed. While this was very difficult for Malcolm, it led to another change in philosophy for him."

From the Paper
"The purpose of this research is to examine the press overage of the assassination of Malcolm X. The plan of the research will be to set forth the context in which both the assassination and the coverage thereof emerged, and then to discuss the character of press performance, including apparent degree of bias or impartiality, that emerged as a result of such coverage.
It is impossible to understand Malcolm X's death without reference to his life. Moreover, it is essential to see the coverage of Malcolm X's death with reference to the framework of his life and work. Indeed, as The Autobiography of Malcolm X illustrates, the whole of Malcolm's life can be read as a kind of preface to his way of death. Malcolm Little was born in 1925 in Omaha, Nebraska, the seventh of eight children. Like King, Malcolm had a Baptist preacher father, but Earl Little was ... "

Abstract
The paper explains that every company that is publicly traded or incorporated must file an annual report that gives a summary of its financial history over the past year. It shows that an annual report is a useful tool for determining the fiscal health of a company; many persons use this information. For example, a potential lender will look at this report to determine if the company is a good financial risk. Stock analysts use it to predict trends and individuals use it to decide if they want to buy or sell a stock. This paper explains the elements of an annual report and shows various methods of analyzing it. It then proceeds to take a look at an actual annual report and discusses the results of that example.
From the Paper
"Industry comparisons are useful in determining whether a company is in line with others.4 Some industries have typically lower profit margins than others do. For instance the airline industry runs on lower profit margins than the restaurant industry. The airline industry?s expenditures are much higher as compared to its revenues as compared to running a restaurant. Profitability must be compared over a period of time to try to predict trends. Then these trends must be compared to its competitors, the industry in which it operates, and the markets as a whole to determine if the trend is due to factors effecting only that company or if they are due to general economic conditions beyond the company?s control."

"Malcolm X"?.
This paper discusses Spike Lee's film, "Malcolm X ," an adaptation of "The Autobiography of Malcolm X".
920 words (approx. 3.7 pages), 3 sources, APA, $ 32.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper explains that Spike Lee's film, "Malcolm X," depicts the way Malcolm X, in prison, forged his identity based on social and religious values, not the values of the dominant white culture, but rather values in opposition to the white Anglo-Saxon Protestant culture, which, for centuries, had oppressed persons of African descent. The author points out that Malcolm X was a sincere adherent to Islam, which was not the religion of his African ancestors, but the religion of modern Africa. The paper relates that Spike Lee demonstrates how, when Malcolm X embraced Sunni Islam and incorporated its teachings into his approach toward black liberation, his militant views became more tempered; this shift from pure militancy toward cooperation directly led to his assassination.
From the Paper
"As Lee's movie shows, Malcolm's family history and early experiences affected his radical political views. He joined the Nation of Islam while in prison, as he felt a sense of camaraderie and solidarity that he never would have found in the outside world. Lee depicts how Malcolm X was deeply and personally affected by his exposure to the Muslim religion. In fact, one of the most remarkable things about the life of Malcolm X was his ability to grow with his religious beliefs, rather than having his religious beliefs dictate strictly what his actions were. As the film points out, Malcolm X did the necessary pilgrimage to Mecca shortly before he was assassinated."
