Even though the Chiefs of police are not in the field, they still have to use discretion in making very important decision that affects the department and the community as a whole. In the DC Sniper case, Chief of Police Charles A. Moose use discretion in the investigation by deciding what information should be shared with the public. As the Chief of Police one of his most important duties is to reassure the public of their safety. While trying to keep the public informed without causing panic, Chief Moose limited the details of the investigation in order not to alert the snipers. With this being one of the most tumultuous killing sprees within the DC, Maryland, and Virginia (DMV) area, crucial decisions were made by Chief Moose in an effort to save lives. At the crime scene of the eighth victim a tarot card and a note were recovered as evidence with a specific message directed to law enforcement.

...LIFE UNDER THE CHIEF DOUBLESPEAK OFFICER The writer, William Lutz takes his time and explains how companies and cooperation have changed the name titles for workers. He also translates to us the true meaning Doublespeaking has over taking. For an example the Garbage Man is now known as the Sanitation Engineer, or Solid Waste Consulter. He breaks down the unexplained terms that are characterized as if it’s a majorly hard job, but it’s really a small easy job. As I read the article I understood him saying how businesses lie their way to the top. In the article the writer describes the similarities of simple jobs with such large meaningless names. Try these titles on for size: Chief Nuclear Officer, Chief Procurement Officer, Chief Information Officer, Chief Learning Officer, Chief Transformation Officer, Chief Cultural Officer, Chief People Officer, Chief Ethics Officer, Chief Turnaround Officer, Chief Technology Officer, and Chief Creative Officer. After all the "operations improvement" corporations have undergone, you have to wonder who all those "chiefs" are leading. (Lutz) In that sense it tells me he think there are, “Too many Chiefs and not enough Indian trying to lead one pack.” I think some of the Chiefs need to be cut in order to gain more workers. The writer takes his time to express how people are terminated or has to resign. Doublespeak is a word used to make thing seem more professional than it really is. Just like a Janitors, they are now called Federal...

...Running head: WORLDCOM FAILURE RESHAPING BUSINESS WorldCom’s Chief Executive Officer’s Failure of Responsibilities Reshaping the Business Environment WorldCom’s Chief Executive Officer’s Failure of Responsibilities Reshaping Business Environment Bernie Ebbers’ leadership as Chief Executive Officer for WorldCom created the largest telecommunication bankruptcies and the largest bankruptcy in the corporate world. His unethical decisions to allow false financial reports to continue to be reported as inflated profits, where in reality WorldCom was losing profits while senior management was raping the money vaults. Bernie Ebbers’ action created change not only within the telecommunications world, but also within the views of responsibilities of Chief Executive Officers. In order to understand Mr. Ebbers’ shortcomings as the Chief Executive Officer of WorldCom, the role of Chief Executive Officer must be understood, in addition to basing his role against the ethical standards of today. David Elsum describes the corporate system by having three elements; a company board, a chairman, and a Chief Executive Officer. Chief Executive Officers have a unique role in today’s business. According to David Elsum, the “chief executives are responsible for company effectiveness, efficiency, profitability, and liquidity” (1988). In essence, the Chief Executive Officer should be highly effective to bring change and executing the company’s vision while being efficient...

...Microsoft works to connect the cloud to your car Toyota is teaming up with Microsoft for an Internet service that links cars, home computers and smartphones so users can find nearby tourist spots, connect on social networks and learn about new models. The beefed up version of Toyota's Internet site Gazoo.com starts May 30 in Japan, and will be based on "cloud" computing from Microsoft called Windows Azure. Overseas plans are still undecided. According to the U.S. software giant, it is the first time the technology, which also uses Sharepoint software, is being used for a company site. Gazoo.com users tripled over the last five years to 1.65 million. Toyota Motor Corp. said Friday it wants to raise that to 2 million over the next year. All the world's major automakers are working on similar technology to bring autos up-to-date with the Internet age, from finding restaurants to helping ensure safe driving. But a major motive for Toyota is appealing to younger Japanese, who are rapidly losing interest in buying cars and are spending their money on smartphones and video games. The trend is so widespread there is a coined phrase, "kuruma banare," or "departure from cars." Among the Net content in the works are video games, shopping-site links, virtual events and a special social network to chat about cars, according to Toyota. A smartphone application will guide drivers with an electronic voice to 30,000 destinations from 250 routes. The site will also offer information...

...There was once a chieftain. His name was chief Joseph. Joseph was a strong leader and a powerful man. Joseph chose to continue his father's work, protecting and leading the Nez Perce. People respected and trusted Joseph and relied on his leadership. In 1842 settlers from the east started pouring into the west, for free land, new opportunities, and a chance at wealth. This distressed the Indians, not knowing what was going on, but all was fine for now. In 1855 territorial governor Isaac Stevenson passed a treaty on the Indians. Then they pressed that treaty on the indians, which made them give up 90% of their homeland. Small bands of Indians resisted the treaties and Chief Joseph emerged as their leader. Now 1871 the Nez...

...Chief Seattle’s speech to Isaac Stevens explores many facets of figurative language and wisdom that come together in a beautiful, yet sorrowful, statement of the emotions of an entire people. The most prominent tool employed by Seattle is pathos, particularly drawing pity from the listener by expounding upon the centuries of woe experienced by the native Americans. Halfway through the oration, Seattle shifts the focus towards the dead, and uses references to his race’s ancestry as a method of emphasizing the impact of everyone’s life and history on the future. The appeal to emotion in the oration begins almost immediately. Seattle appeals that “Yonder sky has wept tears of compassion on my people for centuries.” This statement digs deep into the hardships that th Native Americans faced upon the white man’s continuum of manifest destiny. Personification is also heavily employed to touch the listener’s hearts; phrases such as “weeping clouds” and describing his people as “scattering trees of a storm-swept plain” emphasize the suppression of his people, ravaged and demoralized by the intrusive Americans. Creating even more empathy for his cause, Seattle tells us of the times of glory experienced by the native Americans, which starkly contrast the woeful situation of modern-day native Americans. Seattle uses spiritual parallels of two different Gods to show how the white man has justified their actions through a system designed to justify their actions. The listener can feel...
