It highlights high quality, strong motivation, strict QC and on time delivery as key drivers.

Federal court may decide Illinois ballot fate
Secretary of State John W Lewis says a three judge federal panel will decide if Communist and Socialist Workers party candidates win ballot places, avoiding the Illinois Electoral Board. The board lacked a quorum on Thursday, delaying a ruling on loyalty oaths as candidates challenge the requirement. A federal order had directed petitions to the board for certification and potential court action looms before the Nov. 7 election.
