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
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
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.
Outline:
Scope of the Problem
Solutions for the Children
The problem of Housing
Welfare to Wwork
Conclusion

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."

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.

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 ) analyses 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."

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."

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.
The future world in which the protagonist lives at the beginning of the novel is rooted in technology, rationality..."

"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)"

Gaza Pullout through Editorials.
This paper is a comparative analysis of political editorials from "The New York Times" and "The Dallas Morning News" on the subject of Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon's Gaza pullout plan.
815 words (approx. 3.3 pages), 2 sources, APA, $ 29.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper explains that both papers discuss the ramifications of the pullout news to the security of Israel, as well as the success towards the peace that both Israel and Palestine have been trying to broker for many years already. The author points out that the editorial of the "Dallas Morning News" expresses the same "mixed emotions" as the "New York Times" editorial had expressed; however, the editorial primarily expressed a positive attitude of Sharon's Gaza plan as the first step towards brokering peace in a "peaceful manner" between Israel and Palestine. The paper relates that, while the "New York Times" editorial has applied the issue in the context of the current state of terrorism and U.S. intervention to foreign policy-making, the author of "Dallas Morning News" editorial focused on Sharon's "realistic" resolve to end the conflict between the two nation-states.
From the Paper
"The print media has become an effective means to discuss important issues in the society today, especially with the prevalence of newspapers that cater to various audiences or readers today. Political editorials, in particular, serve as the people's daily reference in knowing what is the political stand or position that the newspaper assumes given a particular current issue to discuss. These editorials, however, do not dictate to their readers what position or stand to take on an issue; rather, they serve as another viewpoint at which readers are able to think about the issue. In effect, editorials serve as additional information that lets people understand all facets of a social issue being discussed."

»

Abstract
The paper critiques an article, "Savagery, Show and Tell", by Dan Dallas. The article reports a murder witnessed by a group of children, and their subsequent psychological treatment. The paper describes the article as a case study reporting on a particular crime and its aftermath, and further analyzes how the children are being treated by a team of psychologists, teachers and parents.
From the Paper
"The article entitled "Savagery, Show and Tell" by Dan Dallas is not an empirical study but is rather a case study reporting on a particular crime and its aftermath for a group of schoolchildren who witnessed the murder and who are being helped by a team of psychologists and teachers and by their parents, with the guidance of the psychologists and teachers. Thus, none of the specific elements of an empirical study are identified clearly or directly. Many of these concepts can be ascertained through a close study of the case and the way different groups operated, what they perceived, and what they wanted to measure."

Abstract
A paper which investigates the steps taken by the authorities at Dallas/Fort Worth Airport to provide security for the more than 60 million people who pass through its doors each year. The paper shows procedures involved and the cost of this ongoing project.
From the Paper
"Although these regulations are stated as a requirement for the airlines, it is unlikely they can be accomplished without the assistance of individual airports. After all, airports provide the facilities through which passengers and bags must pass to get to the airlines. DFW is spending $2.3 million to hire consultants to develop a plan for accommodating the estimated 80 bomb detection machines needed to comply with this new regulation. Since a layered approach is needed to meet these new regulations, DFW must continue to work with the industry, the federal government and the airlines, if airport security is going to be strengthened and enhanced sufficiently to allay the fears of the flying
public".

Abstract
This paper is on "The John F. Kennedy Assassination". The novel is a bold treatment of a vital event in American modern history. But just how reliable are the witnesses? The presumed assassin of President John F. Kennedy, Oswald allegedly shot Kennedy from a high window of a building in Dallas on November 22, 1963, as Kennedy rode down the street in an open car. Oswald was captured the day of the assassination, but was never tried; two days after Kennedy's death, as police were moving Oswald, a nightclub owner from Dallas, Jack Ruby, shot and killed him. A government commission led by Chief Justice Earl Warren concluded later that Oswald, though active in communist causes, was not part of a conspiracy to kill Kennedy.
