Although youth activities in the 1960s incorporated popular music, using small combos for accompaniment, traditional band repertoire and hymns have continued to dominate concerts and worship services.

 Developments in Telecommunications: An Update (1997)   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-08)
Incumbents are required to unbundle these services and provide them individually so that new entrants can re-package them and provide new packages of services that did not previously exist.
The Act requires incumbent local carriers to provide interconnection, unbundle their networks and lease the unbundled elements at cost-based rates, and resell their retail services at wholesale rates.
However, where a player, and especially an incumbent, is found to have market power, there are restrictions on its use of market power, which are very similar to the restrictions you find under any system of regulation of monopolies.

 Imperial Presidency, by Noam Chomsky
The diplomatic historians who have explored the Canadian archives have not reported any misgivings about the attack against South Vietnam, which by the time of these internal communications, was demolishing the country.
From 1990 to 2003, OFAC informed Congress, there were 93 terrorism-related investigations with $9000 in fines; and 11,000 Cuba-related investigations with $8 million in fines.
Recall the concern of Canadian “neutral observers” in the ICC over the possible precedent of Vietnamese aggression in Vietnam, traceable to similar roots, we learn in the US documentary record.

Canadian NHP producers may not welcome the growth of foreign investments in the industry, but consumers may enjoy the diversity of product lines.

 Canadian Dimension / Articles / CLC Convention 2005: Bold Steps Needed (Geoff Bickerton)
If the CLC is to assert itself as a leading institution in the labour movement it must be led by a president with the vision and courage to unite the labour movement in the key collective bargaining and organizational struggles that lie ahead.
The absence of leadership contests has meant that the CLC presidents, including CLC President Georgetti, have never had to articulate their plans for the Congress or their vision of the role the Congress might play in a movement increasingly dominated by a few large unions.

 Slashing Congressional Spending, Part I:  Congressional Pay, Pensions, Perks, and Staff
This would permit lawmakers to retain an authentic connection to the districts they represent by living and working there, rather than acquiring a Washington mindset that often is antithetical to the desires of their constituents.
Although causation is difficult to prove, the 1990 rules requiring individual office disclosure of franking amounts (and the attendant embarrassment that comes from a great deal of franking) probably had something to do with the drop.
The large number of aides who perform quasi-campaign work for their employers almost certainly is related to the historically unprecedented rates of reelection that incumbent Congressmen have enjoyed over the last two decades.

 RCR - REPORT OF JAMES C. MILLER, III
Another contrived advantage is the ability of incumbents to pressure donors for campaign contributions when there is little evidence of challenge, and to carry over these resources from election to election, continually growing their reserves in order to ward off any potential challenge.
In sum, an incumbent knows that additional spending on his or her own campaign will be of marginal value in increasing votes (or vote margin), but that spending by an opponent will have a dramatic, threatening effect.
Incumbents have a considerable advantage here: they have taxpayer-paid press spokesmen; they make news, and thus have more access to the media; and they have access to "inside information," which they communicate to, and curry favor with, the press.

 Contestability and Economic Integration in the Western Hemisphere   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-08)
In contrast with the centennial experiences in Canada and in the United States, that started with the 1889 Canadian Combines Investigation Act and the 1890 US Sherman Act, the historical record on the enforcement of such policies in Latin American and Caribbean countries is virtually blank.
Although some countries, such as Argentina and Mexico, have had antitrust laws since the beginning of this century, it was only after the wave of economic reforms that spread throughout the continent in the 1980s that the implementation of competition rules became a relevant issue in the region.
Moreover, in the 1990s, the American and Canadian governments have been active in the current discussions on the convergence of competition policies among OECD countries.

 1994 Stakes High for Congressional Democrats
Incumbents always are uneasy in off-year elections, in which candidates of the incumbent president's party often take a beating.
Among incumbents in those contested seats are five Democrats and three Republicans who are not running for re-election.
However, even a Republican sweep would be unlikely to persuade the Clinton administration to change its Middle East course, which is guided by the wishes of the incumbent (any incumbent) government in Israel, its Washington, DC lobby, and perceptions of the general consensus among American Jewish supporters of Israel.

 SHP 530 - CN DRUG POLICY AWARD
However, incumbents may be required to pass a drug test as a prior condition of return to duty after a leave of six months or more.
As may be gleaned from the foregoing, the right that an employer may have to demand that its employees be subjected to a drug test is a singular and limited exception to the right of freedom from physical intrusion to which employees are generally entitled by law.
On March 16, 1990 then Minister of Transport Doug Lewis tabled in the House of Commons a strategy for the prevention of substance abuse in the transportation sector, the elements of which included post accident drug and alcohol testing, periodic testing, pre-employment testing, "for cause" testing and random testing.

 The Baha'i Faith in America as Panopticon, 1963-1997
In 1990 CUNY conducted a poll of 110,000 U.S. households with regard to religion, and, only finding 24 adults who reported themselves as Baha’is, estimated the size of the community as 28,000 adults.
The prohibition of nominations and campaigning leads administrators to feel a need for strict controls on Baha’i discourse, and often to the avoidance of even mentioning leaders by name in public, which would be construed as “backbiting.” The ban on campaigning can become a ban on visibility or on any sort of critical thinking.
It is perhaps not incidental that the controls on electioneering and other forms of communication have the side effect of ensuring that criticism of those in power cannot achieve wide circulation, and that the incumbents who exercise that control are reelected every year.

 The Need to "Right-Size" and Rebuild the Community
--The incumbent could retain employment with the agency, provided that he or she can obtain agreement to exchange positions with an incumbent of another position which has not been identified for elimination, subject to the determination of the agency head that the employee is qualified for that other position.
The "exchange" feature of the proposal was borrowed from the Canadian Government, which the Commission found had struggled with the same downsizing problem and had recently enacted a similar proposal for government-wide application.
Compensation under the Canadian plan offers a maximum benefit up to two years worth of an individual's salary, excluding a separate departure allowance of up to 15 weeks of regular pay (for some individuals) and/or $7000 of educational training.

The results of the analysis indicate that party politics does matter, as incumbent governments can (and do) manage to convince the electorate that they can effectively deal with rising inflation or unemployment, and be re-elected in the context of deteriorating economic conditions.
This paper tests the extent to which provincial and federal incumbents in Canadian elections are affected mostly by national or provincial economic conditions.
The results further suggest that provincial incumbents are not held accountable for economic conditions in their province, but are rather punished for national economic deterioration when the incumbent federal party is of the same partisan family.

Black Leadership, White Response: Why White Americans Vote for Black Incumbents Book Project: This book explores a startling puzzle in white voter behavior: white voters vote overwhelmingly against a fl candidate running for office for the first time, but switch their support in large numbers once that fl candidate is elected.
I argue that fl incumbents win white support, not because they run better campaigns, face weaker opponents or pursue better policies, but because they are able to disprove the fears and expectations of the white population.
A series of empirical tests of changes in white voting patterns, election results, and white racial attitudes confirms the primary role that racial learning plays in the reaction of white voters to fl incumbents.
