Chafin plans to correct some of the present policies at the HUPD, in what he calls an effort to realize the full potential of the department's personnel and other resources. He is pleased, he says, with the complement of personnel in the department, especially the extent of experience and technical training of many of its members. He is also impressed by what he sees as the members' eagerness to develop supervisory, investigative and human relations skills...
...priorities. He sat down with each member of the department when he first arrived to emphasize the importance of continued cooperation and communication between the front office and patrolmen. That contact was one key ingredient that, Chafin says, he noticed lacking within the department when he arrived. To correct this lack, Chafin says he will consult all members of the department prior to making major decisions, whenever possible. "My management approach is to ask for input right down the line of the best way, within reason, to accomplish a given task," he explains...
Cruz also blames himself for using his own minority workers on the architectural concrete work only because they were black, despite the fact that they were inexperienced. He says he tried to make a morally correct decision, which was, unfortunately, a financial mistake...
...Einstein's theory is correct, black holes are the natural consequences of the death of giant stars. In what astronomers call catastrophic gravitational collapse, most of the matter contained in such a dying star begins falling in toward the stellar center. If the conditions are right, the matter crushes together with such enormous force that it literally compresses itself out of existence. The star becomes what mathematicians call a "singularity." Its matter is squeezed into an infinitesimally small volume, and it simultaneously becomes infinitely dense and has an infinitely high gravitational force. At the point of singularity, time and space...
...late 1960s, as a research fellow at Cambridge, he and a colleague, Roger Penrose, showed more convincingly than ever before that if Einsteinian general relativity is correct, gravitational collapse will result in "singularities" that are totally hidden inside black holes. But Hawking did not stop there. Following up the work of John Wheeler's student, Jacob Bekenstein, he pointed out that there are important mathematical analogies between the bizarre otherworld of black holes and the familiar physical rules of thermodynamics, notably the idea of entropy-which says, in effect, that the universe is running down like an unwinding clock...
