Abstract
The paper presents a memorandum to the Health Commissioner of NYC: "First I would like to express my appreciation for all the organization, strategic thinking and planning that has gone into TCNY. The passport, brochure, policy paper and annual reports are filled with pertinent information for the target population and those who serve them. The hard work that has gone into this project has not been overlooked. With that said I would like to move beyond creation, strategy and implementation of TCNY and discuss how to get the word out to the people who will benefit most from the program's initiatives."

Abstract
The paper presents an alternative telling of the final chapter of the novel "Things Fall Apart". The paper uses the first-person perspective of the District Commissioner to present a view of him that reflects his own moral beliefs in what he does, while at the same time illustrating the mindset that leads to the colonial impulse. The paper points out that no attempt has been made to match the style of "Things Fall Apart".

From the Paper
"Chinua Achebe's Things Fall Apart is a story about many things, but primarily about a man trying to hold his family and life together in Nigeria during the time of colonization. History, and indeed any fair application of moral sentiment or an ethical system, has determined the acts of the colonization efforts to be unjust, and in no way is this exercise meant to veer away from this view. Yet it must be acknowledged--and is so by Achebe in the novel, according to fair reading--that the individuals are often involved in unjust acts without themselves being unjust people. This is true not only of Okonkwo, but also of the individual representatives of the colonizing force, typified in the person of the District Commissioner."

Abstract
One of the most important aspects of the structure of the US government is there is no single authority controlling or commanding the economy. This structural decision allowed for the creation of the free-market system in its current incarnation. No single person or institution can have an over-riding effect on the performance of the economy as a whole. However, there are a number individuals who can, to a greater or lesser degree, have an effect on the economy. This brief paper will examine the following four such figures: (1) the president, (2) the Federal Reserve Chairman, (3) SEC Commissioner, and (4) the attorney general.

Abstract
This paper examines "The report of the Canadian Democracy and Corporate Accountability Commission," which was researched and written in 2001 and issued in January 2002. The essay argues that this is an important document that will contribute to the ongoing debates concerning corporate responsibility and the role of stakeholders in modern business. The essay also considers how the case of Enron in the U.S. has negatively impacted the Commissioner's report, and how this event may influence the interpretations of this commission's work and recommendations.

Abstract
The paper points out the overt racism in Kelsey's report where he describes the wholesale devastation of a once-robust community of people, but shows how Kelsey makes a structured argument placing responsibility for that devastation on the whites. The paper asserts that this may be one of the most revealing texts about racial politics in United States history. The paper discusses Kelsey's description of the colonial-type devastation of a native population, how the government helped institutionalize the racist treatment of the Native Americans, how Native Americans continued to be held in slavery after the slaves were freed and how a dominant group could force a subgroup of people to fit a certain stereotype.

From the Paper
"On March 21, 1906, the C.E. Kelsey, the Special Agent for California Indians, wrote a report to the Commissioner of Indian Affairs, in which he addressed the status of Indians in California. The report was included in the 66th Congress' Indian Tribes of California Hearings. Kelsey had been assigned as the Special Agent for California Indians, and, in that capacity, he performed a census of the Native-Americans that were living in California. The actual census breaks down the material that Kelsey found, going so far as to include individual Native Americans by name and family affiliation. However, the letter goes farther than the census, and includes Kelsey's personal views about California's Native American population. He begins by stating that he has personally visited every Indian settlement between the Oregon line and the Mexican border, and that he believes his research has been exhaustive. Though, he says that because of time constraints, he was not able to make a hut-to-hut canvas, which he thinks would have been appropriate to ensure accuracy."

Abstract
This paper looks at the successful methods used by Bratton to reduce crime in New York City. It explains his 'Compstat' method, which refers to ?computer statistics" and included monthly strategy meetings that he called ?Compstat sessions.? It explains that officers were made to feel fully responsible for the crime that existed in their precinct and were pushed to find solutions.

From the Paper
"William Bratton is not afraid of hard work. He does not back away from a challenge; rather, he embraces it. Perhaps this is why he became so successful in the field of law enforcement. Bratton, who holds a bachelor's degree from Boston State College and is a graduate of the FBI National Executive Institute, first became a police officer in Boston in 1970. Just ten years later he was the superintendent of police, which is the highest sworn rank in the Boston Police Department (Dussault 1, 2). From there he went on to manage police agencies, transportation authorities, and the New York City Transit Police (where he cut subway crime by nearly 50%) (Dussault 1). In 1993 he was named police commissioner of Boston."

Abstract
This paper explains human resources management (HRM) in public organizations by examining the 2003 Staten Island Ferry crash as if the author were the commissioner and wanted to avoid similar crashes in the future. The paper first defines a set of evaluative criteria to determine which HRM principles are the most and the least important. The paper then indicates the importance of the job related test, performance appraisal and merit and notes that equal opportunity employment and affirmative action are not as significant in preventing future crashes.

From the Paper
"Job Related Test- This is first on the list because it was discovered following the crash that the pilot was on heavy medications which caused him to fall asleep at the helm. Perhaps if job related testing was performed on a regular basis this individual's medical condition would have been exposed and he would not have been driving the ferry on that day. In addition, if job related testing had been conducted perhaps the two pilot rule would have been enforced and the crash would not have occurred because there would have been somewhere there to take over the controls."

From the Paper
"The bases of the service were set during the Civil War, when President Lincoln and the American congress began to collect taxes from the population in order to pay off the war expenses. This also meant the necessity to create an adequate position and a service to handle these operations - Commissioner of Internal Revenue. The history of the service and the taxes it implemented is a tumultuous one, coming to a clarification only in 1913, when it was ratified through the 16th Amendment.
"Today's IRS is a modern institution, created on numerous changes and struggling to adapt to the emergent modifications. Throughout the past recent years, the institution has undergone several processes of restructuring and reorganization. The measures implemented referred to changes in all approach, legislative matters, taxation, as well as internal affairs. The act that produced the most significant effects in the recent decade has been the 1998 Restructuring and Reform Act. ''The IRS Restructuring and Reform Act of 1998 prompted the most comprehensive reorganization and modernization of IRS in nearly half a century."
