From the Paper
"The research will show that Denver's geographic location and its natural resources have been inextricably linked with population growth and decline trends over the years that have been grouped into three distinct periods. According to Denver - a booming city (2000), "Denver is a clean, young and green city with over 200 parks and dozens of tree-lined boulevards. The architecture reflects the city's three boom periods: Victorian, when silver was discovered in Leadville; turn-of-the-century, when gold was discovered in Cripple Creek; and contemporary, when the energy boom added 16 skyscrapers to the downtown skyline in a three year period.""

Abstract
This paper examines the way the second Klan movement captured political power in urban centers in the South and the North as portrayed in Kenneth T. Jackson's book, "The Ku Klux Klan in the City, 1915-1930". The book dispels many of the stereotypes of the Klan as a rural, Southern movement. The author points out that as the Klan grew in prominence it moved into new areas. In the South, it moved into areas such as Knoxville and Dallas. In the North, it expanded into Chicago, Detroit, and Indianapolis, a city which became the center of Klan activity. The Klan also moved west into California, Portland, and Denver. The paper states that, according to Jackson, the Klan's weakness in the political sphere can be largely attributed to its association with racism and intolerance because the Klan found ample opportunity to denounce Catholicism, integration, Judaism, immigration and internationalism as threats to traditional American values.
From the Paper
"The Ku Klux Klan had a number of strengths and weaknesses in the political sphere. In the south, the Klan held a fair amount of power, even from the late 1910s, and many of its actions were public. In 1918 the Klan played a role in stopping a strike in the shipyards of Mobile by abducting a labor leader and threatening others. A similar scene played out in Birmingham at about the same time. The Klan's defiant stance against criminal elements in Birmingham carried a great deal of political clout in the south. In Nashville, a local police chief advised authorities to start a Klavern in order to help reduce crime in the area. The Klan even participated in a confederate reunion in Atlanta."

Police Codes of Ethics, 2004.
A comparative analysis of the code of conduct for Washington, D.C. and two other cities, Denver and Detroit.

Abstract
This paper examines how virtually all police departments have some kind of formal "Code of Ethics", or guidelines, that tell the members of the police force what is and is not acceptable behavior. It looks at how the police in any community have tremendous power and how it's important that the officers to whom the public entrust their safety act in honorable and ethical ways. It explores how, because of the Internet, it is possible for concerned citizens and anyone else to view the codes of ethics for many police departments across the country. It compares and contrasts the Code of Conduct for Washington, D.C. and Denver and Detroit, which have nearly identical codes, word for word.
From the Paper
"Grundstein-Amado (2001) argues that codes of ethics should serve three purposes: to inform the public about the goals of the organization; to encourage an ethical climate within the organization; and provide a structure for resolving ethical questions. However, it could also be reasonably stated that informing the public about the goals of the organization might be better done with a mission statement and that no code of conduct could be detailed enough to provide a plan for resolving ethical questions, which could range from charges of decision-making based on race to taking bribes to unwarranted violence against arrestees."

Abstract
This paper takes a look at Judy Mattivi Morley's book, 'Historic Preservation and the Imagined West: Albuquerque, Denver and Seattle'.
According to the paper, along with the cities of Albuquerque, New Mexico and Seattle, Washington, the city of Denver, Colorado has gone through many phases and many changes in its history. The paper discusses the clashes between preserving historic districts and bulldozing them down for "urban renewal".
From the Paper
"But during the Great Depression the square fell into hard times: "Pioneer Square's social deterioration mirrored its physical decline," Morley explained on page 71. More bad luck happened when there was an earthquake in 1948 that caused a lot of structural damage to buildings in Pioneer Square. Then in the late 1950s the Central Association of Seattle was created to upgrade the city's image and infrastructure, and the Seattle Center was built in 1962 for the World's Fair. In the late 1960s, the clean-up of Pioneer Square began, as buildings were renovated and artists, architects, interior designers who "liked the aesthetics of the old buildings" (Morley, 75) - along with young professionals who prized the proximity to downtown - began moving in."

Abstract
This paper discusses the role of public administration in five different American cities. The cities examined include Columbia, Missouri; Bozeman, Montana; Denver, Colorado; Fargo, North Dakota; and Yuma, Arizona. Different aspects of each city are discussed, including an examination of city organization and governmental structure.
From the Paper
"Public administration within the context of any city can take on a variety of forms. A number of organizational structures and functions are relatively common, such as fire and police protection. However, some cities have specialized needs and must develop organizational systems capable of meeting those needs and providing for the citizens of the city. These special needs often are developed outside the standard organizational structure of the city's administration functions. This is evident when we consider the Storm Water Task Force, developed as a special committee in the city of Columbia, MO. In 2001, the city council of Columbia authorized the Public Works department in the city to create a new task force that would deal specifically with storm water issues and agendas (Willett)."

From the Paper
"Often called one of the greatest of the 20th Century, Denver International Airport, as explained in the case study, had 64 separate problems that merited attention and solution. Because of this, the only way to identify the "Overall-clear cut problem which requires immediate attention" is to make an assumption that all of the 64 problem areas cited are actually subsets of the largest problem. After preparing a matrix of all the problems, it became apparent that the major problem is that at no time during the long time span identified in the case were the basic tenets of Project Management considered. Because of this failure, a project that was to cost a little over $1 billion cost almost $5 billion, and the final product was, and ..."

Abstract
The literature on the subject is vast and ranges from such major studies like Rosentraub's Major League Losers to numerous short journal articles. The overwhelming consensus in the literature is that policies directed at funneling public money into sports stadiums do not reap the benefits needed or hoped for by the cities. However, this paper argues that these articles and studies are misdirecting the failure to achieve benefits and have not truly determined the successes from publicly-funded sports stadiums. All of the studies have failed to recognize the shortcomings that the cities, not the policy, possessed. This paper answers the following question: in favorable economic, political, social, and structural conditions, can a publicly-funded sports stadium reap benefits for a city? In short, in the best of circumstances, can incentives for sports stadiums pay off? In answering this question, this paper presents a quick review of the literature on the subject recognizing the faults and shortcomings and analyzes the city of Denver, Colorado, in relation to its experience with Coors Field. The paper argues that, in the favorable conditions of Denver and the smart policy choices made by local officials, Coors Field proved a useful tool for revitalizing an area of downtown, facilitated the creation of new businesses, and spurred the development of housing in downtown. The sports stadium is a successful policy if it brings tens of thousands of people to the area for game day. To capture the benefits takes smart policy makers within the cities in question. The paper includes maps and tables.
From the Paper
"Unlike many cities, the city of Denver seeks to invest in all communities to make them the best and most diverse that they can be. This crime rate decrease and community investment has set the necessary backdrop for capturing economic benefits from people visiting downtown. Since they feel safe, they are much more likely to want to visit local establishments and spend money, thus creating an economic benefit for Denver. This is the most fundamental core policy and achievement that many American cities are failing at. When other cities publicly funded sports stadiums are being analyzed, this particular factor is nonexistent. The crime rate surrounding a stadium is paramount to what level of interactions game attendees will have in the area before and after the game and any study that fails to recognize this, fails to achieve any tangible results from their analysis."

Out of Control, 2001.
A case study of the Denver International Airport project management failure.

Abstract
This paper examines the construction of the airport and the failures experienced during the project such as: inability to define the project objectives, lack of planning, ineffective controls and poor risk management. This author examines the case from a project management perspective highlighting the strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats of this out-of-control mega project.
From the Paper
"This paper evaluates the strengths and weaknesses of the Denver International Airport (DIA) mega construction project that is widely viewed as a "runaway project" (Voelker, 1999, p. 1). When finished, DIA was 17 months late and $3.8 billion over budget. Strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats of this case are evaluated by looking at the three project management functions: definition, planning, and control (Verzuh, 2001, p. 19-22). While hindsight provides the student of project management with 20-20 vision, the DIA Project Management Team (PMT) should have seen and reacted to many signs that the project was out-of-control (Voelker, p. 1). The absence of effective leadership and lack of project management methodology (Voelker, p. 5) are the primary reasons DIA was late and 400% over budget."

There is a biological sisterhood between all genetic organisms on this planet, and I'd be willing to bet throughout the universe as well. It is not a voluntary sisterhood, and most of its members would gladly give up the prerequisite for membership in the sisterhood; the prerequisite is resolute strength. It is the strength of the of the American Indian women to walk the "trail of tears" to the reservation after the war with the white man had ended in the deaths of so many of their men; the same strength which allowed the concubines of the nazi concentration camps to continue after life had cost them their families and self-respect. It is the strength which does not permit them the luxury of hallucination, but insists on the ..."

From the Paper
"By 1904, the Board of Education changed their pay policy for teachers. They indicated that teachers were charged with assisting children to learn. They also encouraged each teacher to use their best methods of teaching, unique to the needs and conditions of their students. The Board felt that teachers should definitely continue to test their students, but that that it was unreasonable to assume that a child would be able to keep at the call of his memory (Gratz, 2005). As such the single salary system came into favor, and would be as such for many more decades."
