...of government officials that perform many different essential job duties. Although I live in Illinois, I thought that it would be interesting to research an individual from another state. Chester “Chet” Culver is the current Governor of Iowa, and has captivated the attention of many citizens of whom he serves. Governor Culver is part of the Democratic party. He is also the first Democrat to be elected governor since 1937. Chet Culver has been Governor in since 2006.

...E: How is your role in government different from an elected official? CW: This role is different from an elected official because it is nominated by the President of the United States. And, you can’t necessarily be biased in this type of position. The requirement for this job is to be independent and see the case from both sides, no matter what your personal point of view is. E: How is it the same? CW: We serve the people. Our jobs kind of work together in a way that is best for the country and serves to everyone’s needs. E: Do you think judges should be elected? Explain why or why not. CW: I don’t believe the people of America should be able to vote a judge into court. There are many different reasons to consider. As I said, a judge must be very independent and not put personal reason into any case. A majority of people believing in certain things or that belong to a certain political party can elect someone who only sees things from that point of view. That’s not necessarily what you want in the court. You want someone who can make decisions based on law. E: What is judicial review? CW: Judicial review is the power to review or cancel laws or acts of government that are not constitutional. E: Please explain the role of judicial review in a case you recently decided. CW: A case I recently worked in involved someone who stole and used people's credit cards from and in different states. The thief was convicted and sentenced to 20 years. However, this person appealed...

...A true scholar, in my opinion, is a person who not only knows information about math, science, literature, etc., but uses this information to make a difference in the world. Also, a scholar should not just know the information for the sake of knowing it, they should want to continue to learn about the subject, and become more interested in things that have to do with the topic they are learning about. I believe that Chet Douglass is more of a scholar than Gene, and although he doesn’t realize it, Gene makes these points quite clear, although he makes them seem like flaws. The first thing Gene says is that “Chet is weakened by the very genuineness of his interest in learning.” Having an interest in learning is one of the qualifications necessary...

There are many problems in the central plant, such as Chet could not complete his job on time; supervisors are unable to solve the daily production problems on their own; and organization structure is poor.

As the manager, Chet did not plan his own schedule well and not complete the project, which supposes to complete. The second is employee confidence. It seems that every supervisor has to talk to Chet for every small thing. They cannot decide it themselves. The third one is plant operating. The plant is behind the schedule. Employees and supervisors are not noticed how many tasks need to be complete. Lack of fit between people and organization tasks, people and organization process, and organization structure and tasks are the causing of the problems in the central plant. Employees are not familiar with tasks that they need to do and they are not familiar with what authority they have. They have to ask Chet every time; it directly caused the efficiency. So many supervisors and departments are causing not enough employees to do the tasks. The goals that central plant needs to touch are ensure enough employees to do the job and enough...

...three quality printing plants in various locations. The central plant is located just inside the Midvale town limit, and is managed by Chet Craig, an Ohio State graduate who has been with the Norris Company for close to twelve years. Chet feels confident in his accomplishments and contributions in his daily routine tasks. However, although he is getting the tasks at hand completed, he finds he is lacking the opportunity to devote time toward the special projects that come with the ‘executive’ status and pay for which he is recognized. Unsure of what path to follow, Chet is only able to slowly maneuver around these projects, one at a time. As unexpected issues arise throughout Chet’s day, he finds himself under more pressure, with less time to work on his scheduled tasks. His day begins with two employees away from work, one called in sick and the other truant, and both vacancies leave voids to be filled. As Chet completes his daily tour of the plant, he encounters an operator performing poorly, along with a press helper needing constant reassurance. With vital stock items diminishing quickly, and the plant running behind schedule, Chet dedicates much of his day dealing with routine tasks. Throughout the course of taking action, Chet is constantly interrupted with concerns that are unnecessary and unrelated to his current situations. Chet is faced with some of these problems due to a lack of fit between the process and the people within the Norris Company. Productivity...

... Nguyên nhân cái chết của các bệnh về tim (CVD) bao gồm đau tim, tăng huyết áp và nhồi máu cơ tim đã bắt đầu giảm vào những năm 1960 ở các nước phương Tây và còn tiếp tục giảm nữa vào các thời gian sau. Ở nước Mỹ, tỉ lệ tử vong giảm hơn 35% giữa năm 1980 và 1997. Điều tương tự như thế cũng xảy ra ở các nước phương Tây khác. Chúng ta có thể giải thích cho sự giảm đi ấy như thế nào? Một nhân tố phổ biến nhất đó là con người đang sẵn sàng thay đổi cách sống lành mành để giảm mối nguy hiểm của CVD. Một trong những nhân tố khác đó là việc chuẩn đoán và điều trị của bệnh đã được cải thiện. Ích lợi của công nghệ có thể cho phép chuẩn đoán sớm những mối nguy hiểm nghiêm trọng xảy ra sau đó. Từ đấy, các bác sĩ có thể điều trị như kê thuốc để giảm cao huyết áp, giảm lượng cholestorel trong máu hay tiến hành nghiên cứu để điều trị phục hồi cho tim. Đối với các bệnh nhân đang phải chịu đựng bệnh thì đó là một tin tốt. Dựa vào các thiết bị công nghệ cao, các loại thuốc và kinh nghiệm phẫu thuật, nhiều người có thể phục hồi và quay lại cuộc sống sau khi điều trị. Đó là điều tưởng như không thế cách đây 40, 50 năm. Tuy nhiên, có một tin xấu cho các bệnh về tim. Thứ nhất, việc không thể ngăn chặn được tỉ lệ tử, CVD vẫn là một căn bệnh phổ biến gây ra cái chết ở nhiều nước phương Tây. Những số liệu năm 2000 ở nước Mỹ, ví dụ, cho thấy rằng bệnh tim gây ra hơn 30% cái chết mỗi năm. Con số ấy, tất nhiên, sẽ là điều tệ hại hơn nếu chúng ta gộp cái chết với mối liên hệ cùng...
