The acceptance speech of Lifetime Achievement awardee Senator Dennis DeConcini is presented. DeConcini said it is an honor to receive the Distinguished Service Award for his work on bankruptcy legislation. He is pleased to focus his remarks on the legislative process and events surrounding the enactment of the Bankruptcy Reform Act of 1978 and also to share a few remarks about the success or failure of the Bankruptcy Code and its evolution over the past twenty-five plus years. By the late 1960s it was becoming increasingly clear that the bankruptcy laws and the judicial and administrative structures that implemented the law needed to be updated. As he looks back on how the Bankruptcy Code has worked in practice he has mixed feelings. Essentially, in the effort to provide a fresh start f...

A state administrative rule reclassifying warehouses and distribution facilities from commercial structures to manufacturing buildings has created unintended - and unwanted - consequences, according to some local real estate professionals. The Oregon Department of Revenue in 2008 made the switch as part of an overhaul of its property classification system - one it uses to assess property taxes, according to Mark Kinslow, department manager of assessment and taxation.

In the past year, SPJ has made healthy, solid changes that have cleaned up some of its administrative and volunteer structures; vastly improved internal and external communications; refocused and re-energized national committees; spawned initiatives that generate new revenue; and challenged national directors to rethink how SPJ serves members and the larger cause of journalism advocacy. It is thrilling to watch them plan to deliver more instruction online, and to promote SPJ's missions through a "Citizen Journalism Academy" that will be presented in a few cities nationwide next year. It's also exciting to see SPJ's burgeoning Legal Advocacy Network generate money for freedom-of-information projects while also connecting the media law and journalism communities.

Much has been written about the plight of secondary and higher education in the U.S., and a plethora of reform proposals have been offered. Unlike many of the suggested reforms that focus on top-down administrative solutions to the education spiral, the model presented here offers a bottoms-up approach based on student incentives. Further, salient features of the revitalization model developed here are simplicity, maintenance of institutional sovereignty, and the absence of mandated changes in educational policies and procedures. A vital component of the model is the development of an index reflecting overall high school academic achievement. The index provides the basis for college and university financial aid reward structures. A financial aid structure offering greater monetary rewar...
