[Newt Gingrich] knows better," CAIR's [Nihad Awad] said. "He knows the Muslim community. He met with them. And I think this is a cheap shift, just for political gain. He's a well-read individual. But I think he's not taking the leadership position. He's exploiting the ignorance. Even as Muslim leaders attempt to restore the community's political clout, it's unlikely we'll see anything like 2000 anytime soon. MPACs [Haris Tarin] was not involved in those efforts, but he believes the idea of a "Muslim vote," championed by his organization a decade ago, is unrealistic given the immense diversity of the American Muslim community. "It could be done potentially at the local level- places like Northern Virginia, or parts of Michigan," he says. "But at the national level, having a bloc vote i...
Unless you have the magical motivational spell of a Napoleon Bonaparte, Knute Rockne or Zig Ziglar, you probably need a solid and ever-evolving employee recognition plan to consistently bring out the best in your workforce. The challenge can be finding the right balance between rewarding your top employees without sending the wrong message to the rest of your staff. It would be great if all credit unions were staffed by a workforce composed of people who excel because they love their jobs and are personally motivated to be the best possible worker. To calculate potential incentive payouts, an organization should set key performance indicators and the respective incentives that will be awarded at different levels of performance. A CU should compensate employees with equitable rewards tha...
DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. | NASCAR officials are making a concentrated effort to reach new fans but say they won't abandon older ones in the process. Series officials unveiled notes from a comprehensive study on where they stood with fans and what direction they wanted to push the sport.
The budget meeting was held on the 46th day of Roman Gastesi's new job as county administrator. "The public has been involved hugely," Gastesi said of the budget process, but "the subject changes literally every day." All departments were now conjoined in an "austerity spirit" and they won't be buying new pens and pencils until the desk dispensers are empty. Danny L. Kolhage, the county's clerk and comptroller, wanted to know what had happened in the 18 months since he wrote a letter to the editor warning of where the county was headed. "I feel I'm talking to a teenager who ran up the parents' credit card," he said. To Gastesi he added, "You have a big job to do but you have small shoes to fill." (Big laugh.) "This is an election year and we're all watching to see what you will do. It...
The meteoric rise of Japan during the period from the 1950s to 1980s and the subsequent economic woes of the last two decades are well documented. The close alignment between the government and major businesses helped Japan become an economic superpower, while the bursting of the real estate and stock market bubbles about twenty years ago has resulted in Japan struggling to hold on to its second position among the leading economies in the world. The dramatic growth of the economy in Japan was one of the main reasons for the lack of accountability in Japanese government. China's emergence as a global economic power is certainly a threat to many Japanese businesses and Japan-based firms. China is billed to soon dethrone Japan as the world's second biggest economy. Japan must view China as...

VOLUSIA COUNTY, Fla. - A dozen violation notices hang as warnings next to the front door, like fallen enemy soldiers strung up outside the castle walls. The notices cite, among other county code infringements, the 5 - foot hill of sand in the side yard, vehicles parked in the front lawn, and junk strewn around the outside of the house. Not cited, due to technical compliance with county code, are the women's underwear in the front yard and the exterior paint job that resembles the doodling of a 3-year-old with a box of crayons.
