Panel IV
Does the Originalism of the Fourteenth Amendment Guarantee Justice for All?
Often, critics argue that originalism will trap us in the sins of societies past, doomed to repeat some of history's mistakes. If originalism cannot adequately meet these challenges, some would argue that it is significantly lacking as an interpretive theory. The Fourteenth Amendment is the provision of the Constitution often used to correct these injustices. This panel will examine the importance of the Fourteenth Amendment for the theory of originalism. For instance, does it transform the meaning of previous amendments? Are there distinctive interpretive rules for the Fourteenth Amendment? Can Fourteenth Amendment be interpreted in an originalist manner to provide equal justice for all?

OURAY – An investigative team from the Mine Safety and Health Administration has swept through the Revenue-Virginius Mine, issuing almost 100 citations to owner/operator Star Mine Operations following a fatal accident there one month ago.
The citations were issued over a one-week period between Dec. 4-11. It is unclear from MSHA reports how many of the citations are germane to events that led to the deaths of powderman trainee Nick Cappano and shift supervisor Rick Williams on the morning of Sunday, Nov. 17.
The two miners were in an area of the mine where explosives had been detonated the day before they encountered the fatal levels of carbon monoxide, according to an MSHA "fatalgram" pertaining to the accident issued on Dec. 3.
Many of the MSHA citations appear to address fairly straightforward housekeeping and maintenance matters. Others, however, suggest safety violations of a more serious nature, including to inadequate air quality monitoring, failure to post or barricade unventilated areas and maintain safe travelways, improper disposal of deteriorated explosive materials and inadequate escapeways and refuge chambers.
A Dec. 5 citation refers to the MSHA regulation requiring self-rescue devices to be worn or carried by all persons underground. Two Dec. 10 citations indicate there were training issues at Star Mine, leading up to the date of the accident, in regard to adequate "refresher" training for experienced miners and the training of miners assigned to tasks with which they had no previous experience, particularly in regard to blasting operations.
Forty of the 97 MSHA citations issued in its accident investigation have already been "terminated," indicating that Star Mine Operations rectified or cured those areas of violation. No fines or penalties have been assessed yet for any of the current citations.
The Revenue-Virginius Mine, which dates to the 1870s, was taken over by the Denver-based Star Mine Operations in 2011. Prior to November's fatal accident, the company had accrued a total of 34 MSHA citations during its two years of operations, most of which have since been terminated. None of those earlier citations specifically addressed ventilation or disposal of explosives, or appeared to otherwise foreshadow events leading to November's fatalities.

There's no point assigning letter grades to the Blackhawks now that they've reached the halfway point in the truncated 48-game season.
Straight A's across the board.
Even the marketing team and virtual unknowns behind the scenes have performed at a Stanley Cup championship level, evidenced by a tasteful yet brief ceremony to acknowledge Marian Hossa's 1,000th game Tuesday night before playing Minnesota.
- Bio | Recent columns
- PHOTOS: Photos: Blackhawks game action
- Strange but true, fan personally blacks out Hawks
VOTE: Blackhawks' first-half MVP?
So here's a 24-karat request — a suggestion actually — for the Hawks as they begin the back nine of the regular season this evening in Denver. Relax just a smidge. Take a few deep breaths and recognize the Presidents' trophy and a couple dollars afford only a CTA bus fare.
Joel Quenneville's 21-0-3 club has nothing left to prove against Western Conference opponents. The Hawks undeniably are the class of the conference and the only two obstacles that can preclude a second trip to the Cup finals in four years are injuries and mental fatigue.
The ouchies are the biggest concern. Hossa was a late scratch with the flu Wednesday and missed the 3-2 win over Colorado.
Maybe that's all it was, but when a player spends several months reciting his ABCs after a concussion from a brutal hit like the one Hossa incurred last spring, there always will be cause for concern when he's absent or gets drilled in the melon.
Patrick Sharp, victimized by a nasty Avalanche sandwich in the third period Wednesday, needed assistance getting off the ice. While Sharp has been a bit snakebitten, he is a versatile, poised veteran, without whom the Hawks' chances would be diminished significantly.
My humble suggestion to Coach Q — with all due respect to a cat with 645 career wins, seventh most in league history — is to back off the ice time for his most valuable assets.
The Hawks are blessed with depth. Ride it. There's no good reason for Duncan Keith to lead the league in minutes played. Keith's playing time has been reduced recently and that should continue.
That hasn't been the case for Hart trophy candidate Patrick Kane, who's been double-shifting a bit and logged a team-high 22:15 of ice time against Colorado.
Gritty Jamal Mayers has played in only 12 games. With 24 games in the next 49 days, ample doses of Mayers, Bryan Bickell (who is this guy all of a sudden?), Michael Frolik, Marcus Kruger, Sheldon Brookbank and Steve Montador would be a good thing.
Before the lid was lifted on the season, the Blackhawks suggested they were willing to use the farmhands in Rockford. Do it. Ready or not, here they should come to lighten the work load a bit for the most integral components to a run at hockey's Holy Grail.
Brandon Bollig and Jimmy Hayes are big bodies and Hayes has shown flashes of offensive spark when he's been given the opportunity. Now is the right time to give him more.
All observers appreciate the Hawks' "play every game like it's you're last" work ethic, but that approach has the potential to burn out a hockey team before the second season commences. The best regular season in club history was in 1990-91, but their league-best 106 points were easily forgotten when the eighth-seeded Minnesota North Stars popped the Hawks in six in Round 1.
Finishing first matters more in June than in March. The only parade in the spring is for St. Patrick's Day.

I have no direct experience, but if the thing was built for a particular vendor, and isn't a 'generic' version sold to everyone, it will have a different number...may be an extra digit or letter or some other change. The stores do this partly for price matching, even though it may be identical (or not), to them, it's not identical unless the entire part numbers are identical. It depends, sometimes, it's just which label the put on it, but sometimes it's actually different. For example, Home Depot sells GE WH (at least where I live), but if you happen to call the 800 number listed in the manual, they answer the phone Rheem. One difference is the ones labeled Rheem tend to have a brass drain valve, those at HD labeled GE, tend to have a plastic one, or at least a plastic handle. It's difficult to assess what other differences there are, if any. One may offer a different warranty, but at HD, for example, you can buy their 'lesser' quality version, and for about what you'd pay for the 'premium' one, you can buy an optional, add-on warranty to match it. Often, the difference in the WH is just the label they put on it when it comes to warranty (but not always ,a 'premium' one may have a bigger or a second sacrificial anode).
Tough call...if you're lucky, someone that knows will respond, but in general, they are probably equivalent.

my DREAM system. oh, maybe one day...
Mac Mini
grace design m902 (dac, headphone and pre-amp, remote)
EDIT: superseded as my dac of choice by Benchmark Dac1 HDR
ATC SCM 50 SL AT (active towers)
Sounds great. If it's your dream, it seems very attainable to me. I mean if you truly dream about this system. Like this would just bring you years of joy, then life's too short. Get a loan and just buy it! Buy it tomorrow! Do it!
you are reading my mind...
You maybe dead tomorrow go and get it
Cracking quality pic and setup there mate !
A bit miffed at the buildings on the floor though - is that the skirting board ?!
them active atc's have just got to be amazing.
yeah, what's going on with your skirting?
Cracking quality pic and setup there mate !
thanks! yours are better!
these are klm dutch delft houses, you get them as a souvenir when you fly with klm. they hide some cabling behind. i put them there while unpacking when i moved in 5y ago and they are still there.
Cracking quality pic and setup there mate !
thanks! yours are better!
these are klm dutch delft houses, you get them as a souvenir when you fly with klm. they hide some cabling behind. i put them there while unpacking when i moved in 5y ago and they are still there. So if you fly with Virgin Air, what do you get as a souvenir
you get this, naturally.
Well, phase II is underway: New TV instead of the old one, bluray player instead of DVD. Great picture and sound from BD. Bluray actually gives decent CD sound via its own stereo out, I prefer it to digital-to-amp.
The number of boxes is going down (down to two shelves now) but the sound quality is going up (so far).
The main stereo now is a WinXP netbook (not in the pic) playing via usb to Chordette Gem. The sound is fantastic. I could not beleive the improvement compared to ipod-amp and even to CD-amp. Next step will be a dedicated MacMini.
The big question is how much improvement would the Grace m902 and ATC SCM 50 actives will bring? Lining up some demos at the moment. Exciting times are coming.
Looks great but wondering if it would sound a little better with the speakers toed out a little more. They won't line up with the wall but should move the sweet spot back closer to the listening position.
Thanks, I found this positon works well and they are not fussy about position.
So far managed to get the Grace m902 for a demo from the UK distributor. The objective was to line it up for a side by side comparison with Benchmark HDR and ATCs, but the dealer cannot get hold of the HDR up to now . So I only managed to demo the Grace at home with the current set-up. And in comparison with Chordette Gem.
Impressions on the Grace: Excellent build and functionality. Only small exception to this is that hte balanced version only has balanced out (you loose RCA), while eg.g Benchmark has both. Looks good to my taste. High quality of sound but not as good as the Gem. They do sound different. I found Gem is warmer and a bit more dynamic throughout the range, which I prefer. Note I was only able to compare on 16/44 material, not on higher resolutions.
Interestingly, I could not get the remote codes to work on the Grace even with help from Remotecentral forums and Grace.
I have returned the demo unit by now, still hoping for a now separate demo of Benchmark HDR + ATCs.
In the meantime, the 500gig MacMini is on order - the first shipment went lost so wating for the second one...
Not really heard of Grace. I suspect the Benchmark would have the higher resale value. Worth bearing in mind?
Good point, PJPro.
the HDR/ATC demo is on Monday!

Big casting news...
Ray Stevenson joins 'Dexter' season seven | Inside TV | EW.com
What? You think as the founding member of the Ray Frikkin Stevenson man-club fan-club I mighta missed this news???? P-shaw. Piffle even...
Ok so I missed that. Though I will say as a founding member, I'd expect news such as this to have it's own thread. You're slippin' JD
I struggled with it...but I thought a new thread was premature. As an accused thread whore I am sensitive to that issue.
Jason Gedrick Joins DEXTER Season 7
I really hope that Ray Stevenson beats the tar out of Dexter, so far nobody has really 'dented' Dexter and it would be good to see what happens when he meets brute force.
I think this is the season I finally check out. I started watching last season and watched the whole thing, and can't say I didn't enjoy watching it, but I think the show has gotten to the point that it just takes too much work for me to suspend disbelief.

Alpha Omega Alpha Robert J. Glaser Distinguished Teacher Award
Carmine D. Clemente, Ph.D.
David Geffen School of Medicine at UCLA
The Alpha Omega Alpha Robert J. Glaser Distinguished Teacher Awards were established by the AOA medical honor society in 1988 to provide national recognition to faculty members who have distinguished themselves in medical student education. The award is named for long-time AOA executive secretary Robert J. Glaser, M.D.
Every medical student since 1975 knows that anatomy texts come in both gray [Gray's Anatomy] and carmine, as in Carmine Clemente, Ph.D., author of Clemente's Anatomy: A Regional Atlas of the Human Body (aka "The Clemente Atlas"). And every medical student attending the David Geffen School of Medicine at UCLA since 1952 knows that teachers like Dr. Clemente come along once in a lifetime. In the words of Gerald S. Levey, M.D., vice chancellor for medical science and dean of the school of medicine, Dr. Clemente is "the consummate teacher, a great thinker, and a trendsetter. His focus on medical education is the thread that weaves all his endeavors and accomplishments together."
It is a thread that dates back to 1952 when Dr. Clemente joined the UCLA medical school faculty as an instructor in anatomy, and continues even today. A former chairman of the school's anatomy department, Dr. Clemente has been teaching basic anatomy to first-year medical students for more than 50 years. Though Dr. Clemente "retired" in 1994 and is emeritus professor of anatomy and neurobiology, he has been recalled annually to continue preparing future generations of doctors.
"Medical students are among the brightest students in the university. Over the years I think I have learned more from their questions than I have taught."
- Dr. Carmine Clemente
In addition to his longstanding impact at UCLA, Dr. Clemente has "virtually revolutionized the teaching of anatomy." In addition to the "The Clemente Atlas," Dr. Clemente produced a series of 42 dissection films which today are used in 170 medical schools throughout the world, including 120 of the nation's 125 medical schools. Additionally, Dr. Clemente is widely recognized for the yeoman's task of having edited the 30th American edition of Gray's Anatomy.
Dr. Clemente has also played a vital role reshaping medical school curricula, both at UCLA and on the national level. In addition to serving for 10 years on the National Board of Medical Examiners, he was a member of 14 Liaison Committee on Medical Education accreditation site visit teams. Following his work on a Robert Wood Johnson Foundation initiative, "Preparing Physicians for the Future," he instigated major curricular reform and wrote about his views in the paper "Changes in Medical Education in the United States," published in A Major's Report.
Dr. Clemente earned his A.B., M.S., and Ph.D. degrees in anatomy from the University of Pennsylvania. He completed a postdoctoral fellowship in anatomy at University College, University of London, and his early research focused on regeneration and transplantation of neural tissue in the central nervous system of mammals. His work has contributed enormously to further understanding of forebrain mechanisms related to internal inhibition and sleep, and led to his being named director of UCLA's Brain Research Institute.
Additionally, Dr. Clemente has served as president of three major science organizations: American Association of Anatomists, Association of Anatomy Chairmen (now the Association of Anatomy, Cell Biology and Neurobiology Chairpersons), and Pavlovian Society of North America. Additionally, Dr. Clemente chaired the Council of Academic Societies of the Association of American Medical Colleges (AAMC) and was a member of AAMC's Executive Council from 1978-1981.
Among Dr. Clemente's many awards and recognitions are the Henry Gray Award of the American Association of Anatomists, and the UCLA Award for Excellence in Education. In addition to the "Clemente Atlas," he is the author of Clemente's Dissector: A Brief Text and Guide to Individual Dissections in Human Anatomy, as well as more than 200 articles. He is also former editor-in-chief of Experimental Neurology.

Spanish desire for success remains intact
RECIFE, BRAZIL -- Two months ago, in a relaxed chat with the press after a Champions League match, Sergio Ramos started to go on about the long, grueling season. "Most of us will have played 70 matches when all is said and done; it's crazy." "Will you skip the Confed Cup then?" asked a journalist. "What? No way. We HAVE to win that [expletive]," he answered laughing.
With that comment, Ramos summarised the very feeling that the rest of the Spanish squad now constantly voices about the increasingly prestigious FIFA tournament: This is no Brazilian vacation, and just like they showed on Sunday in their debut versus Uruguay, they are determined to win the title, tired or not.
Each player finds his own motivation. A sizeable part of the team clearly remembers their unexpected defeat against the United States in the semifinal match of the 2009 edition and indeed wants to win the title this time, as is the case with Ramos himself. His dismal display in that match still works as a driver to get things right now: "No assists to the opposition this time," he jokingly said on Saturday night when reminded of the play that led to the U.S.'s second goal. Fourteen players who made the squad four years ago in South Africa and finished in third position are also present in Brazil, and want to get that monkey off their backs. "We blew it last time and don't want that to happen again," said Andres Iniesta after his impressive performance on Sunday.
For others, especially for the two unanimous leaders of this dressing room, memories of that match only fuel a bigger motivation to win this title: The clock is ticking, and there's not much time left for them to win more silverware at the international level.
"It now takes my body three full days to recover after each 90-minute match," confessed the 33-year-old Xavi Hernandez last week. Since his 15-season senior career started in 1998, he's played almost 700 matches at the top level, muscular injuries becoming more and more frequent as games and kilometres mounted. "We want to win this thing, it's the only title left for this generation," he said right before the tournament started.
His reasons resonate strongly with his partner and friend Iker Casillas, both of them having maintained a deep bond even when the Classico tensions between Real Madrid and Barcelona went beyond their usual astronomical heights a couple of seasons ago.
Since the year started, the 32-year-old Casillas has realised how he's only an injury and/or an especially angry coach away from losing his starting spot with both club and country, therefore wants to make the most of the time he's got left. "After what happened this season, I see this tournament under a very different light," he said before the Confederations Cup kicked off. "Five months without a match taught me not to take certain things for granted, and want to win this title even more now."
When the icons from the two biggest clubs in the country show that level of motivation, it is not surprising that the rest simply follow suit.
"We asked every player about coming to play the tournament before making our final list public. All of them want to be here and are eager to participate. No one asked us not to come to have some rest. Our players are tired, yes, but so are the other teams'." said coach Vicente Del Bosque when he announced the final list.
Indeed, only the injured Xabi Alonso is missing from the core team, although probably the most convincing factor unmentioned by the Marquis of Del Bosque is the impressive array of talent this generation possesses.
Competition to get a place in the final 23-man squad was so high that no one felt they could afford to rest this one out. On Sunday, players such as Fernando Torres, David Villa, David Silva and Jesus Navas did not play a single minute, while Juan Mata, Santi Cazorla and Javi Martinez managed to run around for less than half an hour. They all want to take advantage of every chance to improve their chances of a call-up for the 2014 World Cup, and if they think of complaining about lack of playing time, they only have to remember that Isco, Thiago Alcantara, Michu or Iago Aspas would gladly give up their holidays just to sit on Spain's bench.
"Our motivation to play and win this tournament is intact. This is high-level competition, with every single champion present, and we want to live up to what is expected from us as world champions," said Del Bosque in the tournament's first news conference. After an impressive opening performance and one step closer to the semifinals, it indeed looks as though the Spaniards have come to Brazil determined to win, and to do it in convincing fashion.

The message from this year's e-mail survey of 410 CMI Readers is clear: If your incentives are not innovative, individualized, and customized, they're not going to measure up. Today's competitive and talent-hungry marketplace demands a new breed of incentive program. Examples: Verizon's educational group trip; the Frequent Builders Program at Garco Building Systems, which offers travel awards to individuals; and the unconventional travel incentives for corporate recruiters at Keane, Inc., an IT company.
These and other companies have learned that the standard sales incentives of years ago just don't cut it with the workers of the new economy.
Meetings Motivate Elizabeth Porterfield, CMP, manager of events at Verizon in New York, is among the 72 percent of our respondents who include meetings in their incentive programs. While Verizon has a total of six group incentive trips, the company's educational one has been instrumental at keeping commissioned salespeople stay loyal to the telecommunications giant when it merged with GTE and changed its name from Bell Atlantic. Called the Sales Excellence Club, the program brings about 500 qualifiers to a four-day conference that is less about recreation than it is about learning. It includes a high-tech industry trade show, meetings with the company's senior management, and guest presentations from economic experts on industry trends (this year's program brought in a top Wall Street analyst).
"The program is tailored to corporate goals and is a very effective communications vehicle to talk about change in the company," says Porterfield. "It's not about training, but rather about corporate policies, trends, and issues."
Verizon's top-echelon sales staff - those who service Fortune 500 customers - compete fiercely to qualify for the Sales Excellence Club, even though they do not bring guests and are required to share a room. "People fight tooth and nail to achieve their objectives and qualify for this trip year after year," says Porterfield. "They know that it is considered a valuable, critical event by our chairman and president, who attend. The networking with colleagues and senior management is a real motivator. People talk, bond, and get very energized."
This year's survey found that even the ad hoc, informal meetings that happen during incentive trips can be enormously productive. "We tried formal meetings once, and it didn't work," notes Libby Thacker Koenig, director of marketing development for Dynasound, Inc., a Norcross, Ga. manufacturer of sound-masking and audio security systems. Incentive trips, observes Koenig, can do without the formality. "Attendees are meeting informally during the entire trip. They learn from each other, and we listen. These informal interactions, whether sitting around the pool, at the golf course, or in the spa, are a productive way to do business."
Koenig introduced Dynasound's first incentive program (a trip to Jamaica) when she came on board in 1997. It was so successful that the one program has grown to four in 2001: one "bonding" trip (like hiking in the Colorado mountains) for qualifiers only, one eight-day travel incentive for qualifiers and guests, and two weekend programs for qualifiers and guests that "give a quick goal and a shot in the arm to the guy just starting out." Dynasound also plans to launch a merchandise incentive program next year. And Koenig is among the 37 percent of our readers who plan to hold more incentive trips in 2001; 60 percent expect to hold the same number.
Travel Tops the List Survey respondents consider travel to be the most effective reward: 58 percent say it is more effective than cash or merchandise. However, only 52 percent of respondents said that travel is the award they use most, compared to 71 percent last year. Cash gained ground this year, both as the most commonly used award (24 percent in 2000;19 percent in 1999) and as the most effective motivator (29 percent in 2000;19 percent in 1999).
Still, readers say that nothing beats travel for long-term results. "Cash bonuses are necessary, but travel is a higher reward," says Verizon's Porterfield. "When people spend their money, it's gone. But the recognition that comes from our travel incentives lives on."
Similarly, travel incentives at Mitsubishi Fusco Truck of America, Inc., in Bridgeport, N.J., are "layered on after cash," says director of corporate communications Joe Devlin. "Cash goes straight into people's pockets, and they need it to supplement their salary, but our trips give us the competitive edge. They're a big part of how we motivate the salesperson at the dealership who has the opportunity to sell more than one product."
Even small companies are using travel to attract employees and keep them from bolting to the competition. Such is the case with Target Appliance, a retail store in Baltimore, Md. "We introduced our first travel incentive for sales employees five years ago," says president Daryl Gamerman, "and since then we've only lost staff due to retirement. I don't ever have a problem with our salespeople not working hard or volunteering for extra work, because they know it will help qualify them for a great trip."
How can incentive travel motivate people whose business already takes them out of the office a great deal of the time? That's one of the questions faced by Pamela Wilson, supervisor of meetings and special events for Keane, Inc., a $1 billion Boston-based business technology company with 50 branch offices in the U.S., the U.K., and Canada. Keane has two yearly group travel incentives, one for sales employees and one for recruiting employees. She's expanding the company's programs in 2001 "beyond just an annual trip, to perks like airline and hotel room upgrades that people can use throughout the year. Most of them are on the road an enormous amount of time, so they're going to love anything that makes their travel easier, from upgraded cell phones to the latest laptop computers."
Not for Sales Only The past few years have seen a steady uptick of companies using non-sales incentives: from 41 percent of survey respondents in 1997, to 46 percent in 1998, to 49 percent in 1999, to 51 percent in 2000. And 32 percent of this year's respondents who don't use nonsales incentives say they plan to in the future.
Keane's "Leadership Circle" program for the corporation's in-house recruiters is a good example. "This is a different target audience than most for a corporate incentive program, but recruiting talent is very important in the IT business," says Wilson. Qualifiers for the three-night trip are young - between 25 and 35 years old - so Wilson looks for a warm-weather, urban location with nightlife and a lot of activities. (Last year, the group went to South Beach in Miami, Fla.) "We've seen a steady increase in the number of qualifiers, which is a key gauge of success," Wilson comments.
More Solo Trips A big trend this year is the number of respondents who use travel awards for individual incentives: 53 percent, compared to 37 percent in 1999. And 60 percent of those who did not offer individual incentives in 2000 plan to do so in the future.
Weekend getaways of two or three nights are popular choices for individual qualifiers and guests - and used by many CMI readers. Mitsubishi Fusco Truck, for example, awarded about 60 getaway weekends in 2000. "Individual weekend getaways are great for the salesperson who can't be away from the marketplace for too long," says Devlin.
In 1995, Joseph Loomis, vice president of business development and project management for Garco Building Systems in Spokane, Wash., introduced an unusual individual incentive that he custom-tailored for the company's contractors. Called the Frequent Builders Program, it is modeled after the airlines' frequent flyer programs. When contractors specify Garco's steel building systems, they accrue points for every dollar spent. The points, which never expire, can be redeemed for about 20 different travel awards that range from a weekend in New Orleans to 10 days in Tahiti. There are family excursions to Disneyland; cruises to the Caribbean and Alaska; ski trips to Aspen, Colo., and Whistler, British Columbia; and golf excursions to Palm Springs, Calif., and Scottsdale, Ariz.
Since launching the program five years ago, Garco has experienced a 15 to 25 percent growth rate, compared to an industry standard of 2 to 3 percent. In 2000, the company grew a robust 37 percent. While it's impossible to measure precisely the role that the Frequent Builders Program played, "there is no doubt in my mind that it helps to build customer loyalty," says Loomis. The customers, he says, first consider the the quality and value of the product. After that, "our incentive program has been the tie-breaker."
Over the past five years, the number of the participants in the program has doubled. "We have worked hard to make the program easy, and about 80 percent of all points are redeemed," says Loomis.
Another part of the success of the program, he says, is that it's geared to the psychographics of his audience. "The contractors we work with are primarily very busy family men who don't have time to plan ahead or save for travel," Loomis explains. "But their wives love to take vacations. So this program was designed to appeal to the spouses, who influence their husbands to get those 10 additional points that will earn them the vacation of a lifetime."
Viva Las Vegas Las Vegas was the most popular domestic destination for our 2000 survey respondents, followed closely by Orlando and Hawaii. Phoenix/Scottsdale, San Diego, and San Francisco were also popular choices.
More readers took incentive programs outside of the U.S. in 2000: 59 percent compared with 55 percent last year. The most popular international destination was Cancun. London and the Bahamas tied for second place and Paris was a close third. "Although we have great resort destinations in the U.S., sometimes it can actually be cheaper to take a group to the Caribbean," says Koenig.
Mitsubishi Fusco Truck chartered the Sea Goddess for an 11-day Venice to Athens cruise that "gave our dealer-principals something to talk about," says Devlin. "The 45 couples who went came back and told their colleagues they should have been there. And everyone is asking me where we are going to go next time."
Lead times for planning travel incentives both domestically and abroad continue to shrink: 60 percent of respondents said they plan less than a year out, up from 55 percent last year. For Libby Thacker Koenig, a five-month lead time means working closely with tourist boards for help with site inspections, promotional materials, and pre- and post-trips. "On such a tight timeline, you need to work with an efficient tourism board or CVB that shows you not only properties, but what activities the destination has to offer." She cites the Jamaican Tourism Board as an example of helping her to achieve a great program with a short lead time. "They know their product inside-out; all the pros and cons. There's no way I could come up to speed so fast without their expertise."
Other Findings More highlights from this year's survey: - Incentive travel budgets remained stable in 2000 for 43 percent of our respondents and increased for 39 percent. A total of 55 percent expect budgets to remain the same in 2001, and 37 percent expect budget increases.
- The average amount that companies spent per person on their incentive trips in 2000 was $3,256, up from $2,466 in 1999.
- The use of team incentives was exactly the same as last year: 42 percent.
- A total of 58 percent of respondents use tiered incentive awards of cash, merchandise, and travel.
- A total of 41 percent use cruises that average five days.
- Incentive trips averaged a length of 4.89 days, and 74 percent of respondents held trips of four days or more.
- 58 percent plan their own incentive trips, up from 44 percent in our last survey.
This year's incentive trends survey was conducted by the Orbit Survey Center at the University of New Hampshire in Durham, N.H. (http://orbit.unh.edu).
The more you customize an incentive program to the company's culture and goals, the more successful the program. Here are some customized programs that are reaping bottom-line benefits for our readers:
- Keane, Inc.'s Leadership Circle Program for the Boston-based company's recruiters, who are employees at the $1 billion business technology company. In addition to a trip, the program is expanding in 2001 to include rewards such as air and hotel upgrades.
- Dynasound, Inc.'s group travel incentive for distributors, which began with a trip for six couples to Jamaica in 1997 and grew to four trips in 2001. The Norcross, Ga.-based company also plans to offer a merchandise incentive program in 2001.
- New York-based Verizon's Sales Excellence Club conference for about 500 commissioned salespeople, which includes strategic meetings and a high-tech industry trade show. Employees compete fiercely to qualify for this program, even though they do not bring guests and share hotel rooms.
- Garco Building Systems' Frequent Builders Program for contractors, which works like a frequent flyer program and has 20 travel choices. The Spokane, Wash.-based company has enjoyed a growth rate an average of 20 percent higher than its competitors since implementing this program five years ago.

In essence, the show was a microcosm of what network news has become during the Obama era. The once hard-hitting nightly news, as exemplified by Walter Cronkite and Huntley-Brinkley, has all but disappeared from the airwaves. Even the hard-hitting "Meet the Press" that was anchored by the late Tim Russert has now become a softer and gentler production.
In the Kroft interview, President Obama was as relaxed and happy as when he appeared on "The View," following his speech at the United Nations. He (Obama) seems to relish such superficial questions as what flavor of ice cream he bought Michelle on their first date and David Letterman's "How much do you weigh now?"
For her part, Secretary Clinton last Friday handed off a very messy State Department to incoming Secretary John Kerry. It was highlighted by the fact that on the same day that she retired, the U.S. Embassy in Ankara, Turkey was attacked. Also a few days earlier, the U.S. Consulate in Cairo, Egypt was closed due to rioting in the streets. Another hotspot for Kerry is the growing unstable situation in Africa. It will be interesting to see how he (Kerry) is able to deal not only with the situation of America's prestige deteriorating around the globe but also with the lack of coordination between agencies that she (Clinton) blamed for the messed up handling of the Benghazi incident.
As far as Benghazi is concerned, it was glossed over in the "60 Minutes" interview in scenes destined to disappear under the rug.
During her inquisition appearances before the Congressional Committees, Hillary deftly sidestepped the Benghazi incident and criticized the intelligence community for the creation of the "video" excuse. No one on either the Congressional or Senatorial panel had the temerity to pin her down on her State Department's lack of oversight on the tragic occurrence. As mentioned before, the hearings featured speechifying by the Republican panelists and near beatification by the Democratic questioners as to her sterling service to the country during the past four years in her role of Secretary of State.
For readers who might like to gain an insight as to how Washington intrigue usually works, I suggest that they avail themselves of a motion picture starring Robert Redford entitled "Three Days of the Condor."

It was delivered on time and packaged well. I am very happy with the way it looks. We still aren't ready to install it. Am looking forward to having a big sink that will fit the cookie sheets, the grand babies, the 6 pound dog for a bath!
This sink is perfect and exactly what I was looking for! I also love the rack that goes in the bottom. I wasn't looking for a sink that had that feature, but now I love it! The depth and width of the sink is perfect!!!!
This sink was a lovely surprise. After looking at several high end plumbing supply places I was surprised that this was equal to or better than their quality and literally 1/4 the price. It looks beautiful.
Quite good, the only detail that I would improve is a slight modification of the bottom shape so that the water drains more easily. Otherwise, the quality seems to leave nothing to desire: it looks nice, has nce color, nice rack at the bottom, pleasant shape. It is very convenient to have one single large bowl to do the dishes.
Switched from a 2 bowl stainless to this large 1 bowl and WOW am I glad I did. Nice, heavy duty & top quality as noted by installer. Now I can clean oversized trays, pans, and hopefully grandbabies in this large sink. I chose a single faucet with pull down spray so only 1 hole cut for faucet. Clean lines, great look and a very happy consumer!
I bought this sink and the matching smaller "bar'" sink to use in our newly remodeled kitchen, and it is beautiful! Even our architect friend was impressed! The 16 guage steel is very weighty and the insulation surrounding the outside will be good for sound-control in our open-concept kitchen/living area. The depth and width will be great for large cooking pots and pans. We have stainless appliances throughout the kitchen, and a commercial-looking stove-top and hood, so these will complete that upscale look. Buy with confidence!
I can't comment on whether this scratches easily - it is not yet installed. It was very well packaged. I am excited to install it
did a lot of recon on SS sinks and liked that this came with the grid. out of the box, the sink was in great condition and installed well. we actually have a 30' cabinet, but wanted a huge sink, so we went for it. slipped right in! did not have to notch out the cabs.
The sink arrived well packaged and in good condition. Close inspection showed no scratches or defects. I was very impressed with the weight and quality of this sink. I also ordered the Ruvati bar/prep sink. I would definitely recommend to a friend.

The Department of Defense (DoD), which accounts for about 96 percent of defense spending, received $580 billion in funding for 2013. The funding provided to DoD covered its base budget—which pays for the department's normal activities such as manning, training, and equipping the military—and its operations in Afghanistan and elsewhere overseas. That amount reflects the funding caps put in place by the Budget Control Act of 2011, reductions resulting from sequestration, and supplemental funding provided for overseas operations. CBO analyzes the possible consequences of planned reductions in funding for the military's force structure and acquisitions, and the agency studies the budgetary implications of DoD's defense plans, including those for military personnel, weapon systems, and operations.

Hit and miss – 09/09 We both ordered the Cioppino which came with a choice of rice (Ann) or pasta (me). We agreed the Cioppino served at the Oyster Bar at Sunset Station was superior. I took advantage of the Sunday - Thursday 2/1 entrée promotion currently being offered at all Station and Fiesta Casinos. ($28.70, 2 Forks)
09/08 Dinner this evening was at Tides Oyster Bar using a 2/1 coupon from a locals mailer. Tides is a spacious restaurant offering both table and, the more traditional, counter seating. Ms. Westie ordered a cup of New England clam chowdah (we are from CT and know how to pronounce chowder) and a seafood Cobb salad (micro greens, tomatoes, crab, avocado, carrots, shrimp and blue cheese). My entrée was a super sized piece of parmesan crusted red snapper over an almost spicy tomato sauce. I took a few photos of the restaurant and the chef preparing the oyster trays asked if I would take his photo and send him a copy.

Why doesn't PETA and the rest of the save the land groups stand up and fight for a ranch owners land for him? BLM probably damaged more habitat for the tortoises than a few e cattle could do. The Federal Government is heading down the wrong path. The POTUS says he wants entrepreneurs to start up businesses, but for his policies we have lost manufacturing and other business, but then instead of contacting this man and trying to work something out he sicks the Fed's and BLM on him.

"About five months ago, God told me to put on a healing and deliverance revival," said Marcus Dunn Sr., senior pastor of Kingdom Place. "I felt a lot like Moses."
The event will include three guest speakers in addition to Dunn. Pastor Jackie McClain of Living by Faith Ministries in Oxford and Pastor Elizabeth Huguley of God's Covenant Ministry International in Anniston will speak on Friday and Saturday. Dr. Kevin L. Betton of Temple of Praise Church Ministries, Inc. in Hinesville, Ga., will speak Sunday.
"We want people to come and bring their friends and family members, said Dunn. "The whole essence is for people to come to an atmosphere where God is and let people bring their faith."
Emphasizing Bible passages that encourage people to trust the simple act of believing, Dunn envisions the revival taking place in a space draped in white linens.
After founding a youth outreach at Carver Community Center in 2002, Dunn and his wife, Pam, saw a need for a bigger community outreach and established Kingdom Place Ministries in 2003. Today, the nondenominational church offers a variety of programs including youth, couples and music ministries.
Dunn says he is passionate about the church's mission of love and truth and hopes to reach out to members of the community this weekend.
"Everything ties to our faith," said Dunn. "Faith should be linked to the word of God and the power of his word and nothing else."
WHAT: Divine Healing Revival
WHEN: Friday and Saturday from 6-9 p.m. and Sunday beginning at 10:30 a.m.

Confusion over Maku's Kings move
The Southern Kings seem to have jumped the gun in announcing the recruitment of hooker Bandise Maku from the Lions for the 2013 Super Rugby season.
The Port Elizabeth-based outfit announced they had signed Maku, Toulouse and Argentinean scrum-half Nicolas Vergallo as well as Blues utility back Hadleigh Parkes. But there is plenty of confusion over Maku's signature.
The Lions revealed that they have not been contacted by the Kings to loan any players and Maku has denied on Twitter that he has signed for the Kings.
"No final decision has yet been made on my future," tweeted the former Springbok.
"You guys will be amongst the first to know what I decide."
Lions acting CEO Ruben Moggee confirmed that they have not negotiated with the Kings about any of their players.
"Initially there was an emotional response and we were reluctant to say we would release players to the Kings," he told Supersport.
"They banked on the principle that there would be a whole host of Lions players available.
"If we get a specific approach from a player to go to the Kings, we will need to consider it.
"We shouldn't get ahead of ourselves, why would we, for instance, loan a player to the Cheetahs and not the Kings?
"I can state to you publicly that neither Cheeky Watson nor any of his members have approached us to loan players and we've never denied any players to them."

How can I over clock my CPU and under volt my Samsung galaxy s3
Are you rooted yet?
Could've sworn AOKP came with a built in CPU clocker in the settings...
Well if it doesn't you can use an app like SetCPU
I am able to access the built in cpu counter but I was seeing places that you can raise the cap to overclock your cpu over the 1.6 ghz limit.

Unlocked and ROM'ed Note 3!!!!!
Keep in mind that overclocking too high could lead to your phone being unstable (FCs, reboots, buggy, etc.) Each phone reacts differently to different clock speeds. Also keep in mind that overclocking will lead to faster battery drain and you may not notice a real difference in performance between stock and whatever speed you want.
I personally use the built in clocker to underclock my device sometimes just to stretch battery life a bit more in situations where I won't be near a charger for awhile and it's come in handy many times.
I run mine min. . 3 GHz and 1.3 GHz max. Is that good or should I lower my max cpu power?
So it wont hurt it over time if I just leave max at 1.6 ghz which is the max for this rom

You know you're on the right track when it comes to cooking, when you look in the New York Times and find a recipe for Baked Ziti that is identical to your own. Granted, we're not talking any complex dish here (It's essentially a casserole), but still, it brought a smile to my face to know that I have the same mind as a writer for the Times.
The below comes from the NYTimes and Mark Bittman, but consider it Accidental Hedonist tried, tested and true.
(Note: This is not an Italian Dish, but consider it more Italian-American)
- Salt and pepper
- 1 pound Italian sausage, ground
- 1 large onion, diced
- 1 tablespoon minced garlic, optional
- 1 28-ounce can tomatoes, chopped, with liquid
- 1 pound ziti or other large cut pasta
- 1 pound mozzarella, chopped
- Olive oil or butter as needed
- 1/2 cup freshly grated Parmesan
Bring large pot of water to boil; salt it. Heat oven to 400 degrees.
Distribute meat in large skillet over medium high heat and cook, undisturbed, until browned on one side, about 5 minutes. Stir, cook another 2 minutes undisturbed, then add the onion and garlic, if using. Lower heat to medium and continue to cook, stirring occasionally, until vegetables are soft; add tomatoes and bring to a boil. Simmer while cooking pasta, stirring and seasoning with salt and pepper to taste; do not let sauce become too thick.
Cook pasta until just tender; it should still be too hard to eat. Drain it (do not shake the colander; allow some water to cling to the noodles) and toss it with the sauce and half the mozzarella. Grease a 9-by-13-inch baking dish and spoon mixture into it. Top with remaining mozzarella and the Parmesan if using. Bake until top is browned and cheese bubbly, 20 to 30 minutes.
Yield: 6 servings.
