Abstract
This paper examines the 1985 decision to reach out to East Dallas' burgeoning Asian community via the establishment of a "Storefront" initiative in which the Dallas police force became more involved in the local community. The writer argues that, despite some shortcomings, the initiative has narrowed the gap between police officers and civilians and made the lives of both more secure.

From the Paper
"Neighborhood policing has grown in stature in recent years as police forces have become more receptive to new techniques aimed at addressing the particularistic concerns of neighborhoods bedeviled by crime. This paper will examine neighborhood policing by looking closely at "East Dallas Storefront" and how this approach to police work has brought the community and local police together for a common good. In particular, this paper will describe the program East Dallas Storefront and also describe in some detail the area/neighborhood it serves. The paper will also explore the precipitating factors that made a police response of this sort necessary and look also at how the program was implemented and accepted by local police. Finally, the paper will critically assess the program and determine whether or not it has been a success or an ambitious failure."

Abstract
In this article, the writer looks at the Dallas works and presents a case study. The writer discusses that this is a facility that is owned by AT&T. The writer describes the efforts made to change the facility from a marginal facility to a world class operation.

From the Paper
"The Dallas Works facility is disorganized and fundamentally in disarray. At this time AT&T does not have a plan or a process to correct even the most basic problems. The new senior manager has put together an ad hoc committee with a mandate to correct the problem. This committee has received limited guidance but virtually unlimited authority to make the necessary changes. AT&T's Dallas Works is a dysfunctional facility and is poorly organized. Stock outs in critical parts result in ... "

Abstract
This paper examines how planning, controlling, organizing, and leading are the four management functions that every organization needs to manage to achieve its goals. It looks at how one organization that has had significant problems in the past is the Dallas Cowboys and how the goal of the Dallas Cowboys is to become a championship team, with a dependency on the management of the organization as much as on performance on the field. It assesses the organization by looking at both positive and negatives aspects in order to make recommendations on what the Dallas Cowboys need to do to become a championship team again.

From the Paper
"One of the major problems that the Dallas Cowboys have had in recent years is the bad image the team has received because of players being involved in off-field incidents. These off-field incidents include claims of rape, assault and drug use. In addition, players have been suspended because of drug use. These incidents create two major problems. Firstly, players can be lost through either suspension or through going to jail over rape and assault incidents. This limits the organization's ability to manage the organizing function, which refers to assigning tasks and allocating resources. For the Dallas Cowboys to win a championship, the major resource they need is the players of their team. If the team does not have reliable players that they know will be available this creates a level of uncertainty that makes it difficult to organize the team. This suggests that the organization could have problems attracting good players and retaining them."

Abstract
The premise of this paper is that the program of welfare reform has done more harm than good in the Dallas, Texas area. The purpose of welfare reform is to reduce the number of people in the United States that receive public assistance. The paper focuses on the effects that welfare reform has had on the children in the Dallas, Texas area and supports the hypothesis that a more comprehensive approach is more effective than programs in the past that only concentrated on one aspect of the problem. The paper concludes that addressing one aspect of the poverty problem does not represent long-term solutions. The culture of the neighborhood has to be changed before the problem can be effectively addressed.

From the Paper
"After the implementation welfare reform, poverty in the Dallas area grew to almost 2% of the nearly 632,676 families living in the Dallas area (Appleton, 1A). One must remember that this number only reflects the number of families, and does not tell us anything about the number of children and its effects on them. Over the past ten years and the number of persons living below the poverty line in the Dallas area has grown by over 17% (Appleton, 1A). Welfare reform did have an effect of reducing the number of households on public assistance from 4% in 1990 to 2% in 2002 (Appleton, 1A). However, it did nothing to reduce the number of persons actually living below the poverty line. For some it made this situation worse because they were still below the poverty line, only now they had fewer means of support."

Abstract
This paper performs a SWOT analysis on Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport and evaluates the results. The author finds that since the September 11 2001 attacks, airport security now costs four times what it did previously. With these rising costs, he finds that it is more important than ever for operations managers to stay abreast of their market positioning. They must constantly try to increase their revenues by attracting more passengers and increasing the number of flights. In order to do this, they must perform these SWOT (Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities and Threats ) analyzes to make better decisions based on solid facts.

From the Paper
"Successful airport management depends on several factors to remain competitive. First, the cost of supplies is on a continuous rise, as well as items such as fuel, utilities, and the cost of maintaining the planes. Airports are subject to several market risks as well, such as general economic conditions, events, which drop the number of passengers, and environmental factors that may cancel or delay flights. Airports are subject to increasing risk from ever-tightening EPA regulations and stiffer FAA regulations. After the September 11, 2001 attacks, airports were under incredible strain due to shaken consumer confidence in flying."

Abstract
This paper presents a critical review of "The Book of Strangers" by Ian Dallas, in which the spiritual journey and enlightenment of a rational duty-bound college librarian is depicted.

From the Paper
"Ian Dallas, in the novel The Book of Strangers, explores three events which focus on the development and enlightenment of the main librarian at State University Library. The three events are the librarian's evolution from a focus on words and the mind to a realm where words and rationality are transcended; his mysterious "decision" to give up the "white hash" which he had previously believed to be the means to enlightenment; and his discovery of a God and spirituality rooted not in duty but in delight. Together, these three events are crucial in the narrator's spiritual awakening, and lead him to discover that what he has been seeking all along is the knowledge and experience of his own self."

Abstract
This paper examines the history of this famous hospital which opened in the late 1800s. It focuses on how the hospital started as a two-bed clinic to one of the most famous and advanced medical centers in the country. The paper discusses the hospitals early years and its major milestones until today.

From the Paper
"Seven years after the end of the Civil War; Dallas became a thriving city. In 1885 the Dallas Morning News began publication, at that time the hospital consisted of a two room hospital and county poor farm.1 Since 1872, the city had employed a physician to give medical attention to prisoners at the county jail.2 This first hospital was rudimentary and resembled a military encampment consisting of wooden buildings arranged in a circular fashion. The conditions were primitive. However, one must remember that at that time there were many places still not served by physicians, let alone a hospital. Much of the medical knowledge at the time sprang from the care of soldiers during the Civil War. The first Dallas hospital resembled a Civil War field hospital and lacked even the basic necessities, such as running water. This is the atmosphere from which the first Dallas hospital sprang. For its time, it was the best medicine had to offer."

Abstract
This research proposal suggests the conduction of a quantitative research study through cluster sampling, in the Dallas-Fort Worth area of the state of Texas, specifically related to testing correlation between the factors of the adult abuser of cocaine and violent crimes in the area. The literature review in this work provides an overview of the drug trade environment in the Dallas-Fort Worth area as well as statistical data for factors in the cocaine drug business and the lives of those who abuse cocaine in that area. Recommendations of this study are that more research should be conducted relating to the links between violent crimes and adult cocaine abuse in Dallas-Fort-Worth Texas.

From the Paper
"AADAC reports in Developments Vol. 18 Issue 9 Cocaine that: "Over the last 10 years, AADAC has seen a gradual, steady rise in the proportion of clients who name cocaine as their primary drug of concern. In 1997-98, over 3,600 AADAC clients (11.1%) said cocaine was the drug they used most frequently during the previous year." (Developments, 1999) The AADAC reports that: "Cocaine is a fast-acting drug with effects of short duration. It has a half-time for elimination of about one hour (the body has lost half of it an hour after administration). While most drugs are broken down by the liver, cocaine is broken down in the blood. Breakdown by the liver happens gradually: only about 15% of the blood passes through the liver each time the heart beats, thus the remainder of the blood still carries the unmetabolized drug. In contrast, breakdown in the blood happens constantly. This means that cocaine is quickly converted to an inactive form." (Developments, 1999)"
