Obama rejected a withdrawal from Iraq as late as Fall 2005 http://www.harpers.org/archive/2006/11/0081275 Barak Obama - rejected a call for withdrawal from Iraq in a speech to the Council on Foreign Relations, as reported by an article in Harper's Magazine. Harper's Magazine article November 2006 "After Pennsylvania Congressman John Murtha called for withdrawal from Iraq last fall, Obama rejected [a bill calling for the withdrawal from Iraq] in a speech before the Chicago Council on Foreign Relations, saying the United States needed "to manage our exit in a responsible way—with the hope of leaving a stable foundation for the future." http://www.harpers.org/archive/2006/11/0081275 See below longer excerpt from article: Word about Obama spread through Washington's blue-chip law firms, lobby shops, and political offices, and this accelerated after his win in the March primary. Mike Williams, vice president for legislative affairs at The Bond Market Association and a member of an African-American lobbying association, had been following the race in Illinois and was introduced to Obama through acquaintances in Washington who had known him at Harvard Law School. "We represent Wall Street firms," Williams said in recounting his first conversation with Obama. "A big issue for us since 2000 is predatory lending. He worked on that issue in Illinois; he was the lead sponsor of a bill there. I talked to him about that. He had a different position from ours. There's a perception out there that the Democrats are anti-business, and I talked to him about that directly. I said, There's a perception that you're coming at this from the angle of consumers. He was forthright, which I appreciated. He said, I tried to broker the best deal I could." Williams still had his differences with Obama, but the conversation convinced him that the two could work together. "He's not a political novice and he's smart enough not to say things cast in stone, but you can have a conversation with him," Williams said. "He's a straight shooter. As a lobbyist, that's something you value. You don't need a yes every time, but you want to be able to count the votes. That's what we do." Williams subsequently set up a conference call between Obama and a group of financial-industry lobbyists. That, too, went well, and in June of 2004, Williams helped organize "a little fund-raiser" for Obama at The Bond Market Association. "It wasn't just the financial community. There was a broad cross-section," he said of the 200 or so people who turned out. "There was overwhelming support, not just people from associations giving $2,000 but from individuals who just wanted to meet him, giving smaller contributions." Tom Quinn, a senior partner at Venable and widely considered one of the top lobbyists in town, got a call from Williams and attended the fund-raiser. "I'm on the list. Pretty much everyone in political fund-raising circles knows me," said Quinn, who works closely with the Democratic National Committee and has been a party power broker since the late 1960s, when he worked on the presidential campaign of Hubert Humphrey. "Every day I get ten or fifteen solicitations. I contribute if I like the candidate and think they have a chance to win." He was impressed when he heard that Obama had been president of the Harvard Law Review—"That jumped out at me. It showed he had absolute intelligence"—and even more impressed after meeting him. "He's got a nice personal touch and the ability to kid around a little bit too," he said. "He's got star quality." Quinn contributed $500 to Obama at The Bond Market Association event, and later made calls to people he knew and asked them to donate money as well. Robert Harmala, also a big player in Democratic circles and a colleague of Quinn's at Venable, attended the association's event as well. He had been invited by Larry Duncan—an African-American lobbyist for Lockheed Martin, a Venable client—who helped Williams organize the affair. Harmala liked what he saw and continued to be impressed by Obama. "There's a reasonableness about him," he said. "I don't see him as being on the liberal fringe. He's not going to be a parrot for the party line." Like Quinn, Harmala donated $500 to Obama and made calls to a number of political donors ("Some usual suspects in California whom I've worked with before") and urged them to support Obama's campaign. Other fundraisers were soon organized—one at the Four Seasons Hotel, another at a Dupont Circle restaurant, yet another at the Clintons' home off Embassy Row. "He was hitting his stride. There were people clamoring to help," said Williams. "It wasn't just one person who put the events together and it wasn't all about raising money—people wanted to meet him and talk to him." *** It's not always clear what Obama's financial backers want, but it seems safe to conclude that his campaign contributors are not interested merely in clean government and political reform. And although Obama is by no means a mouthpiece for his funders, it appears that he's not entirely indifferent to their desires either. Consider the case of Illinois-based Exelon Corporation, the nation's leading nuclear-power-plant operator. The firm is Obama's fourth largest patron, having donated a total of $74,350 to his campaigns. During debate on the 2005 energy bill, Obama helped to vote down an amendment that would have killed vast loan guarantees for power-plant operators to develop new energy projects. The loan guarantees were called "one of the worst provisions in this massive piece of legislation" by Taxpayers for Common Sense and Citizens Against Government Waste; the public will not only pay millions of dollars in loan costs but will risk losing billions of dollars if the companies default. In one of his earliest votes, Obama joined a bloc of mostly conservative and moderate Senate Democrats who helped pass a G.O.P.-driven class-action "reform" bill. The bill had been long sought by a coalition of business groups and was lobbied for aggressively by financial firms, which constitute Obama's second biggest single bloc of donors. Although The Bond Market Association didn't lobby directly on the legislation, Williams took note of Obama's vote. "He's a Democrat, and some people thought he'd do whatever the trial lawyers wanted, but he didn't do that," he said. "That's a testament to his character." Obama has voted on one bill that was of keen interest to Williams's members: last year's hotly contested bankruptcy bill, which made filing for bankruptcy more difficult and gives creditors more recourse to recover debts. Obama voted against the bill, but Williams was pleased that he did side with The Bond Market Association position on a number of provisions. Most were minor technical matters, but he also opposed an important amendment, which was defeated, that would have capped credit-card interest rates at 30 percent. "He studied the issue," Williams said. "Some assumed he would just go along with consumer advocates, but he voted with us on several points. He understood the issue. He wasn't closed-minded. A lot of people found that very refreshing." *** As of this summer, Obama had raised nearly $16 million for his original Senate run and for his 2010 reelection war chest. He has taken in an additional $3.8 million for the Hopefund, his leadership PAC. Such PACs are subject to fewer restrictions on raising and spending money than general campaign funds. Over a six-year term, a senator can raise a maximum of $4,200 per individual donor; the same donor can give as much as $30,000 to the senator's leadership PAC during that same period. Traditionally, leadership PACs were established by veteran members of Congress, but now they are set up by anyone who hopes to work his or her way up through party ranks. Last year, the Hopefund took in more than any other leadership PAC except for those of Bill Frist, John McCain, and John Kerry, according to the Center for Responsive Politics. In several primaries, Obama's PAC has given to candidates that have been carefully culled and selected by the Democratic establishment on the basis of their marketability as palatable "moderates"—even when they are facing more progressive and equally viable challengers. Most conspicuously, Obama backed Joe Lieberman over Ned Lamont, his Democratic primary opponent in Connecticut, endorsing him publicly in March and contributing $4,200 to his campaign. The Hopefund also gave $10,000 to Tammy Duckworth, a helicopter pilot in the National Guard who lost both legs in Iraq and who is running for the seat of retiring G.O.P. Congressman Henry Hyde in Chicago's western suburbs. Despite her support from the party establishment, an enormous fund-raising advantage, and sympathy she had due to her war record, Duckworth won the primary by just 1,100 votes over a vocal war opponent named Christine Cegelis. (When asked about her stand on the Iraq war by a reporter, Duckworth had replied, "There is good and bad in everything.") The calibration of Obama's own political rhetoric has been particularly evident in regard to the war in Iraq. At an antiwar rally in Chicago in October 2002, when Obama was still a state senator, he savaged the Bush Administration for its by then obvious plans to invade. "I don't oppose all wars," he said that day. "What I am opposed to is a dumb war. What I am opposed to is a rash war. What I am opposed to is the cynical attempt by Richard Perle and Paul Wolfowitz and other armchair, weekend warriors in this administration to shove their own ideological agendas down our throats, irrespective of the costs in lives lost and in hardships borne." Since taking office, Obama has become far more measured in his position. After Pennsylvania Congressman John Murtha called for withdrawal from Iraq last fall, Obama rejected such a move in a speech before the Chicago Council on Foreign Relations, saying the United States needed "to manage our exit in a responsible way—with the hope of leaving a stable foundation for the future." His stance won him praise from Washington Post columnist David Broder, the veritable weather vane of political conventional wisdom. Murtha's was "not a carefully reasoned analysis of the strategic consequences of leaving Iraq," Broder wrote, whereas Obama was helping his party define "a sensible common ground" and had "pointed the administration and the country toward a realistic and modestly hopeful course on Iraq." Obama continues to reject any specific timetable for withdrawal from Iraq, even as public opposition to the war grows and as the military rationale for staying becomes less and less apparent. *** For the past several decades, the two senators from Illinois have held a weekly meeting on Thursday mornings called the Constituent Coffee, where visitors from the Prairie State can meet and ask questions of their elected officials. Traditionally, the coffees have been low-key affairs, but since Obama took office they have been moved to a larger room—often on the top floor of the Hart Building, which looks out on the Capitol dome—that can accommodate the crowds they now invariably attract. Obama and Richard Durbin, Illinois's senior senator and the Democrats' Senate minority whip, are a winning team. At one coffee I attended this summer, Obama noted in introducing Durbin that his colleague had recently been selected by Time magazine as one of the ten best members of the Senate. "Only ninety senators disagree," said Durbin in rejoinder, adding, "I haven't done the cover of Newsweek or won a Grammy. There's a pretty important junior senator from Illinois too." (Obama won a Best Spoken Word Grammy this year, for his reading of his autobiography.) At another coffee, Durbin mentioned to the crowd that Obama had thrown out the first pitch at a Chicago White Sox game last year; this, he noted, had sparked a long winning streak, at the end of which the team won its first World Series in eighty-eight years. Later, a student at the University of Illinois asked Obama if he might also throw out the first pitch for the perennial sad-sack Cubs, in order to impart similarly good luck. "My arm," Obama deadpanned, "is only so good." By 8:30 a.m. on July 13, when that week's coffee was scheduled to begin, about 150 people had filled the seats and several dozen more were standing at the back. The top-floor space at Hart was not available that day, so the coffee had been moved to a large hearing room in the basement of the neighboring Dirksen Building. A few stragglers huddled around a table near the entrance, picking from a platter of doughnuts and filling cups of coffee from a shiny metal urn. "The doughnuts are the main reason people come," Obama joked, opening the affair from a podium at the head of the room. In fact, it was clear that many in attendance—especially among the sizable contingent who weren't actually from Illinois, including many congressional interns and pages—had turned up just to see Obama. Although Obama and Durbin did field some questions on foreign policy, especially on Israel's conflict with Hezbollah, the audience seemed more interested in domestic issues—health and education and basic pocketbook worries. What, one middle-aged woman asked pointedly, was Congress planning to do about the soaring price of gasoline? Like the natural politician he is, Obama packaged his reply to appeal to the broadest spectrum of opinion. Energy, he said, was not just an economic issue but a national-security issue ("We now are dependent on the most volatile regions of the world for running our economy") and an environmental issue as well ("There are a lot of farmers in the room whose croplands could be impacted by global warming"). President Bush, said Obama, had finally acknowledged the need to break America's addiction to foreign oil, "but with the twelve-step program there are eleven other steps after you acknowledge your addiction." One step, he said, in bringing the issue home to Illinois interests, was to support biofuels such as ethanol, which are "a terrific way for us to start cutting down our use of imported oil." Obama's support among traditional Democratic constituencies was apparent in the audience members, a number of whom worked for low-income housing, civil rights, and pro-choice groups. Grateful representatives of big-money interests were on hand as well, in the form of officials from the Illinois Soybean Association and the Illinois Corn Growers Association. "We appreciate the relationship and the help," said the latter, who was in town as part of a lobbying blitz called the Corn Congress. *** And indeed Obama has delivered for his constituents—for social activists, but also for business groups whose demands are invariably more costly. Although this is not the place to review the full history of ethanol, it's beyond dispute that it survives only because members of Congress from farm states, whether liberal or conservative, have for decades managed to win billions of dollars in federal subsidies to underwrite its production. It is not, of course, family farmers who primarily benefit from the program but rather the agribusiness giants such as Illinois-based Aventine Renewable Energy and Archer Daniels Midland (for which ethanol accounts for just 5 percent of its sales but an estimated 23 percent of its profits). Ethanol production, as Tad Patzek of UC Berkeley's Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering wrote in a report this year, is based on "the massive transfer of money from the collective pocket of the U.S. taxpayers to the transnational agricultural cartel." Since arriving on Capitol Hill, Obama has been as assiduous as any member of Congress in promoting ethanol. ADM has apparently not contributed money to Obama, but during his first year in office he traveled on the company's private jets at least twice. All told, Obama took twenty-three flights on corporate planes; after some atypically bad press for accepting the flights, Obama imposed a ban at his office on privately subsidized travel. He has introduced a number of measures that benefit the industry—such as the "Obama Amendment" that offered oil companies a 50 percent tax credit for building stations that offer E85 fuel—and voted for the corporate-welfare-laden 2005 energy bill, which offered billions in subsidies to ethanol producers as well as lavish incentives for developing cars that run on alternative fuels. Meanwhile, Obama, Durbin, and three other farm-state senators opposed a proposal this year by the Bush Administration to lower stiff tariffs on cheaper sugarcane-based ethanol from Brazil and other countries. To lower such tariffs, the senators suggested, would leave the nation dangerously dependent on foreign ethanol. "Our focus must be on building energy security through domestically produced renewable fuels," wrote the senators in a letter to Bush. That Obama would lend his name to such an argument—with its dubious implication that Brazilian ethanol is a national-security liability comparable to Saudi crude— indicates that he is at least as interested in protecting domestic producers of ethanol as he is in weaning America from imported petroleum. I recall a remark made by Studs Terkel in 1980, about the liberal Republican John Anderson, who was running as an independent against Ronald Reagan and Jimmy Carter: "People are so tired of dealing with two-foot midgets, you give them someone two foot four and they start proclaiming him a giant." In the unstinting and unanimous adulation of Barack Obama today, one wonders if a similar dynamic might be at work. If so, his is less a midgetry of character than one dictated by changing context. Gone are the days when, as in the 1970s, the U.S. Senate could comfortably house such men as Fred Harris (from Oklahoma, of all places), who called for the breakup of the oil, steel, and auto industries; as Wisconsin's William Proxmire, who replaced Joe McCarthy in 1957 and survived into the 1980s, a crusader against big banks who neither spent nor raised campaign money; as South Dakota's George McGovern, who favored huge cuts in defense spending and a guaranteed income for all Americans; as Frank Church of Idaho, who led important investigations into CIA and FBI abuses. Today, money has all but wrung such dissent from the Senate. Campaigns have grown increasingly costly; in 2004 it took an average of more than $7 million to run for a Senate seat. As Carl Wagner, a Democratic political strategist who first came to Washington in 1970, remarked to me, the Senate today is a fundamentally different institution than it was then. "Senators were creatures of their states and reflected the cultures of their states," he said. "Today they are creatures of the people who pay for their multimillion-dollar advertising campaigns. Representative democracy has largely been taken off the table. It's reminiscent of the 1880s and 1890s, when senators were chosen by state legislatures who were owned by the railroads and the banks." Accordingly, as corporate money has grown increasingly important to candidates, we have seen the rise of the smothering K Street culture and the revolving door that feeds it— not just lobbyists themselves but an entire interconnected world of campaign consultants, public-relations agencies, pollsters, and media strategists. All of this has forged a political culture that is intrinsically hostile to reform. On condition of anonymity, one Washington lobbyist I spoke with was willing to point out the obvious: that big donors would not be helping out Obama if they didn't see him as a "player." The lobbyist added: "What's the dollar value of a starry-eyed idealist?" ……….

One of the most talked about tracks on Rick Ross' Rich Forever mixtape has been "Stay Schemin" featuring French Montana and Drake, the latter of which dropped subliminal disses throughout his verse. During an interview with LA Leakers' Justin Credible, French addressed Drizzy's verse on the track, stating that while Driz wouldn't even admit to who he addressed, listeners can connect the dots.
"I can't even tell you. I just got off the phone with Drake, he didn't even want to tell me. They can read between the lines," he said.
The Bad Boy recording artist also said that "Off the Boat," which was also included on the mixtape, was originally his single but he threw it on Ross' tape as a giveaway.
"We got two on there, the 'Stay Schemin' and 'Fresh Off the Boat.' 'Fresh Off the Boat' is going to be my next single, but I just told him to throw it on there, too," he explained. "Keep the Internet going crazy. We just dropping singles over here, you know?"

Doug Harris (Josh Gad) is a loveable but socially awkward groom-to-be with a problem: he has no best man. With less than two weeks to go until he marries the girl of his dreams (Kaley Cuoco-Sweeting), Doug is referred to Jimmy Callahan (Kevin Hart), owner and CEO of Best Man, Inc., a company that provides flattering best men for socially challenged guys in need. What ensues is a hilarious wedding charade as they try to pull off the big con, and an unexpected budding bromance between Doug and his fake best man Jimmy.

Over 400 million people use Facebook and those online spend almost an hour on Facebook alone. Almost a hundred thousand sites are linked to Facebook making it a great platform to use when marketing any kind of business. Discover some Top 3 Facebook Advertising Tips that will surely contribute to the success of your business.
Manage it well
Either hire an entire staff that will manage your account or get apps that can do this for you. As your business grows, there will be more and more advertising tasks to do. Facebook will not be the only platform you will be using by then so it is absolutely essential to discover creative and smart ways on how to handle multiple accounts. You might use different account for your different products,one might for your online marketing like how increase facebook likes, but the most important thing you need to do is manage it and out it under your control.
Boost your customer service
Excellent feedback is a great advertising tactic. Ask Facebook users to leave good feedback on your page. An incredible increase in likes also means that you are highly recommended. You can always buy likes and followers although some marketers do not advice them because of risks involved. But if you will be careful in choosing a reputable seller then you can get the increase you want without hurting your business.
Resolve negative feedback right away. Although you might be getting a few negative feedback, you can always turn them into something positive. Facebook gives real-time updates so once you see something unpleasant, resolve the issue immediately and privately. Despite the negative experience, immediate resolution and compensation will definitely be appreciated by the disappointed customer. Customer satisfaction will surely be a great advertisement for your business.
Awesome content
Some apps provide templates for your post. Remember that your readers have short attention span so make it short and appealing. Adding visuals will greatly boost your traffic and engagement. Make every post catchy enough so it will be easy for you to introduce new products or run whatever promotions you can think of including contests.

The 451 Group: Latest Version of GPL Software License Causes Disruption in the Enterprise Open Source Industry.
New Report Analyzes the Business and Development Opportunities and Challenges Presented by GPLv3NEW YORK -- The 451 Group found that the latest version of the GNU General Public License (GPL) - the world's most widely used open source license and the practical embodiment of the 'free' software movement - is creating disruption within the enterprise open source industry. With the introduction of version 3 of the license, the GPL underwent its first revision in 15 years, causing much debate and uncertainty among developers and vendors as to the impact of the new license on existing projects and practices.
"GPLv3 is a necessary, significant update," said Jay Lyman, Analyst with The 451 Group and lead author of the report. "The changes to the GPL with this update, both philosophical and practical, will bring varied reactions - increased adoption by some, a preference to remain with the status quo and GPLv2 by many, and potentially a move away from the GPL altogether by others."
The findings are discussed in a new report by The 451 Group, a New York-based technology-industry analyst company focused on the business of enterprise IT innovation. The report is part of the 451 Commercial Adoption of Open Source (CAOS) Research Service, which investigates both user experiences and vendor strategies as enterprise customers deploy open source software.
Analysts at The 451 Group believe that GPLv3 offers key improvements, most notably compatibility with other open source licenses, including Apache. A move from GPLv2 to GPLv3 increases the potential for integrating and collaborating with other projects licensed under different terms, which should help to spur further open source innovation and overall adoption. In addition, The 451 Group believes code auditing and compliance companies, as well as open source stack and support providers, will benefit from confusion and controversy around GPLv3 as vendors, developers and others sort through its compatibility, liability and other ramifications.
"Prominent projects or vendors, such as Sun Microsystems or Google, may look to adopt GPLv3 for some projects or code in order to build goodwill in the larger open source software community or claim an innovation advantage," said Raven Zachary, 451 Open Source Research Director.
The 30-page report, 'GPLv3: Liberation or limitation?,' was written by Jay Lyman, together with Raven Zachary. This 451 CAOS report analyzes the business and development opportunities and pitfalls that the GPLv3 presents, as well as which classes of companies are embracing it and which are, wisely, avoiding it.

About the 451 Commercial Adoption of Open Source Research Service (CAOS)
The 451 Commercial Adoption of Open Source (CAOS) Research Service helps enterprise end users, software vendors and investors track and understand the opportunities and threats presented by open source. Its emphasis is on the advantages that open source methodologies offer, as well as the impact of consequent organizational, legal and cultural disruption. As part of the service, The 451 Group publishes six reports annually - each one examining a different issue and offering insight into user and vendor experiences. Additional features of the service include advisory services and a biweekly update of analysis and marketplace activity. The 451 Group also publishes a free blog for the enterprise open source community - 451 CAOS Theory - which can be found at: http://blogs.the451group.com/opensource/

text: Survival Tips for Riding GreyhoundMay 6, 2000 When you are low on cash and need to get somewhere, you may think it is a good thing to take a Greyhound bus to your destination. If at all possible, and you can find a bit more money, please consider a train or flying. If you must travel by bus, I have some tips that may make your trip a bit easier. When my daughter travels by Greyhound, the first thing she does is dress down. Try to look as poor as you can. No jewelry, fancy shoes, or hats. It is a good idea for women not to carry a purse. Use a fanny pack under your clothes, or a leg band purse to carry cash and credit cards, right next to your skin and not out where it can be seen or snatched easily. If you should fall asleep on the bus, you do not want to make it easy for thieves to grab your money. The next thing to remember, is if you are traveling with children, always try to sit the child next to the window, with the adult next to the aisle. When you get to one of the frequent stops or layovers, never let a child go to any restroom alone. Always take your child with you to the bathroom, and never leave a child alone to watch the bags outside the restroom. Never let a child wander around a bus station or stop un attended or with other children. For disabled riders, the first three seats on every bus is supposed to be reserved for the disabled passengers. If the bus driver is allowing those who are clearly not disabled to take up those seats, you should get off the bus, and contact the Greyhound Customer Service Representative at the station immediately. If your tickets are marked as a disabled passenger, they must assist you in getting on the busses first three seats. If they don't, then file a written complaint at the station, and tell them you will wait for the next available bus. Listen closely to the PA system about your bus arrival or departure. Frequently the transmission is weak at the larger stations, so if you can't hear or understand mumbled directions, go to the counter and ask them to repeat it. Insist on decent customer service , and do not be afraid to complain if you do not get it. Try if you can to carry your luggage with you. Greyhound is notorious for losing luggage, and delaying anything you check in the hold. Try to have a carry on duffel bag that you can fit in the upper shelf above your seat that you can remove yourself at each stop or transfer. Never carry anything you can not do with out, as that it is common for bags to be stolen or searched through on the busses. Again, remember to make yourself look as scummy and slummy as you can, jeans, a t-shirt, and sneakers will do the trick, and keep all money and valuables safely against your skin, not in a pocket or a purse. This is the same system that the mental hospitals and prisons use to transport recent releases and parolees. Women travelling alone should never sit in the rear of the bus if at all possible. Despite what you may hear, most of the drivers could care less about your safety, and may not attempt to assist you. I recommend that if you can, pay for a train ticket before paying for a bus ticket. If you can only go by bus to get somewhere, be as inconspicuous as you possibly can, and my prayers are with you. |

This document presents the results of a recent GAO survey of human capital issues at the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). In March and April 2004, we conducted a follow-up to our 2001 human capital survey of SEC attorneys, accountants, and examiners to benchmark their views after the agency had implemented pay parity and work-life programs. 2001 SEC survey respondents were overwhelmingly dissatisfied with pay and identified other nonpay issues as warranting SEC management's attention. The 2004 survey generally covered the same issue areas that we addressed in the 2001 survey, including (1) compensation, (2) overall job satisfaction, (3) work-life balance, (4) supervision and management, (5) performance appraisal and incentive system, (6) opportunities for advancement, (7) organizational structure and support, (8) communication within divisions and offices, and (9) training.
Compared to the 2001 SEC survey respondents, the 2004 respondents were significantly more satisfied with their pay and their ability to use flexitime and flexiplace. The improvement in employee satisfaction with compensation and worklife programs could be attributed to SEC's recent implementation of pay parity and increased focus on implementing work-life programs. In addition, overall the employees remained satisfied with their jobs and the meaningfulness of their work. While employee satisfaction has improved with respect to compensation and worklife programs, the levels of satisfaction have decreased in three nonpay categories. Specifically, employees were less satisfied with (1) the quality of supervision provided by their immediate supervisor and (2) the extent to which management communicates, in a timely manner, information that affects their work and the guidance they receive from management on their work priorities, and they were more dissatisfied with (3) the ability of SEC's performance appraisal system to motivate employees to perform well and the consistency with which the system is applied. These areas, which were previously mentioned in our 2001 report as warranting management attention, appear to be areas SEC should continue to address.
