A week after a penalty for jumping the final restart at Dover knocked Jimmie Johnson out of a near-certain victory, the 37 year-old returned to win Sunday's NASCAR Sprint Cup Series Party in the Poconos 400, beating Greg Biffle to the finish line by 1.208 seconds.
The win, which was Johnson's third of the season, increased his series lead over second-place Carl Edwards (18th on Sunday) to a staggering 51 points after 14 races.
Dale Earnhardt Jr. completed the race in third, followed by Stewart-Haas Racing teammates Tony Stewart and Ryan Newman. Kyle and Kurt Busch, Denny Hamlin, Kevin Harvick and Joey Logano completed the top ten.
"What a race car!" Johnson said after climbing from the No. 48 Chevrolet in Victory Lane.
"Not only a great race car but an engine. We had fuel mileage and plenty of power. It was awesome on the straightaways today to be able to do what I wanted around other cars. So hats off to chassis, aero and the engine shop for this awesome race car."
But despite winning at Pocono for the first time since he swept both races here in 2004, Johnson was still left grumbling about last week's penalty.
"It doesn't make up for much, but we know we're a great race team. Things won't keep us down. We had a great race car today and had a lot of fun. That was a lot of fun out there."
"Jimmie was in a league of his own," said Biffle, who took the green flag from the fourth position on the final restart with four laps left and surged past Earnhardt and Kyle Busch in the first corner.
"I was going to have to get up beside him, take the air off him, something to try and gain an advantage.
"But I gave him such a good push on the restart I couldn't catch back up with him... I couldn't get him."

Connected For Life
Chapel Hill-based Family Health Network has a Connected for Life online program to help families stay in touch, monitor and assist older family members. The subscription program ($39.95 per month for a family) also allows families to be connected to their healthcare providers. A test with residents of Fearrington Village in Pittsboro and with the Well Spring Retirement Community in Greensboro found that seniors using the technology enjoyed easy access to their care circle, their church, their community and the world. Connected for Life is designed so older people with little or no computer experience can use it. Besides Internet access, users can participate in e-mail communication and engage in video visits with loved ones and healthcare professionals. Family members and health care professionals can remotely monitor, record and track a senior's health status and medications on a daily basis. Computer equipment is available as well.

COLLEGE STATION – Texas A&M has called out the messenger on the NCAA investigation into whether Heisman Trophy winner Johnny Manziel potentially accepted pay for autographs. In a newsletter sent to "community and business leaders" by A&M chancellor John Sharp, and first reported by the Austin American-Statesman, Sharp writes this:
"As you are all aware, our Heisman Trophy winning, freshman quarterback has been very popular this summer! I hope you saw that I recently supported him at the opening of the Texas A&M School of Law in Fort Worth.
"While I did confirm that it was a personal view, my motivation was based on the fact we have had ongoing and productive dialogue with the NCAA during their investigation, as required. However, some members of the media have chosen to declare #2 guilty with no evidence whatsoever.
"Darren Rovell of ESPN, who broke this story, has been duped before. During his report on Johnny Manziel, he cites unnamed sources who refuse to provide an interview or any tangible proof. In fact, his "named source," Drew Tieman (initially referred to as the broker), was reportedly booked twice for possession of marijuana and placed on four years probation. He has taken down his Facebook page, changed his telephone number and is refusing attempts to be interviewed by the NCAA. It is surprising that the nation's largest sports channel would support publication with this lack of corroboration.
"I look forward to the start of this football season and am confident that we'll once again exceed expectations during our second season in the SEC. We should all be very proud of what Coach Sumlin and his staff are accomplishing here in Aggieland."
The Aggies open their season in a little more than a week – at noon against Rice on Aug. 31 at Kyle Field – and A&M has declined to speculate on whether Manziel will play against the Owls. He has taken part in every practice and took most of the snaps in an open scrimmage on Saturday night.

The American Civil Liberties Union of Virginia also said in a statement: "If the park rules allow people to wade and swim in the river, then they must allow baptisms in the river."
The ACLU doesn't want to be clearly pinned as anti-Christian (thinking men know better). Thus they will pretend to defend the first amendment rights of a Christian from time to time.Joe Zollars
There's a difference between being "anti-Christianity" and "anti-everything".
So basically you guys don't think the ACLU would get involved if it were a christian church praying in the name of jesus over loud speakers forcing others to hear?
This is such an old issue.

The clock keeps ticking against Dennis Dechaine — 9,104 days, or 24-plus years — for a crime that DNA taken from the victim's thumbnail and other data, including time of death evidence, show he did not commit.
The list of organizations and individuals advocating a new trial for the Madawaska native and former Bowdoinham businessman is impressive: the Innocence Project, Court TV, famed lawyer F. Lee Bailey, former Maine Attorney General Jon Lund, former Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms agent and author James Moore, a great majority of present and past legislators, an increasing plurality of polled Maine citizens and even some prison guards and other Department of Corrections personnel.
Conspicuously absent from the list is the Maine Attorney General's Office. In fact, our own top law enforcement agency has opposed most of the legislation that might help bring justice to the Dechaine case.
It testified against my post-conviction DNA bill, which makes a new trial possible for any inmate who can provide new DNA evidence that could have led the jury to reach a different verdict. Fortunately, the Legislature passed the bill, and the governor signed it into law.
Not only was Dechaine in the wrong place at the wrong time, he has been in the wrong state for more than 24 years. In many states, including Texas, where enlightened, justice-oriented attorneys general serve, he would be a free man by outright release led by the attorney general.
Twenty-four years ago, Dechaine was betrayed by an overzealous prosecuting attorney and by a court that refused to allow DNA testing. Hopefully, this dark chapter in the annals of Maine's judiciary will forever be expunged in the near future.

Backyard chicken suppliers perpetuate animal cruelty
As backyard chickens become popular ("Backyard chickens: Mainers 'give peeps a chance' — even in Portland neighborhoods," June 9), it is important to note that the industrial hatcheries that provide egg-laying chicks to suppliers like Paris Farmers Union and Agway are also in the business of grinding up the vast majority of male chicks that also hatch.
This is referred to as "maceration," and this practice is considered a humane alternative to suffocating them in a trash bin. Male chicks are valuable only as a source of fertilizer and ingredient in pet food because the egg-layer breed of chicken is a skinnier bird and not profitable when compared to the chicken that is raised for its meat.
The American Humane Association has repeatedly called for the adoption of humane standards that take into account the entire life cycle of farm animals, but chickens continue to be the least protected group of farm animals.
Probably the most effective means of promoting cruelty-free chickens and eggs would be to get our elected representatives to introduce bills and write statutory laws that the U.S. Department of Agriculture can enforce.
Right now, it is possible to determine the sex of an embryonic chick early in its gestation, but additional research and funding need to be invested to make this a viable economic option. Likewise, the egg industry should also do the right thing and promote truly humane practices.

Research, support needed amid Alzheimer's epidemic
Currently the sixth leading cause of death, Alzheimer's is the only cause of death among the top 10 causes without a way to prevent, cure or even slow its progression.
Having lost my mother to dementia, I know the toll it can take on a family. That is why I went to Washington, D.C., in April to attend the 25th Alzheimer's Association Advocacy Forum.
I want to be a voice for people like my mother and for their caregivers so that Congress understands the challenges of watching Alzheimer's and related dementias slowly steal a cherished member of your family away — before your very eyes.
While in Washington I had the privilege of meeting Sen. Angus King and Sen. Susan Collins. I have been appointed as an advocacy ambassador for Sen. King to keep him informed about current issues on this topic. Sen. Collins is already a strong advocate for Alzheimer's and has been involved continually in legislation.
The present issues are to seek support for funding the fiscal year 2014 budget request that includes $100 million for Alzheimer's research, education, outreach and caregiver support activities, as well as for the HOPE for Alzheimer's Act, which will improve care and outcomes for Americans living with Alzheimer's disease and their caregivers.
Alzheimer's is not going away unless research is done to figure it out. In the meantime, families need the support to get through it. If you would like to become an Alzheimer's advocate, go to www.actionalz.org.

President pleads ignorance of administration's scandals
Benghazi, the IRS scandal and the Justice Department's invasion of The Associated Press' phone records all have two common threads.
One is that these actions benefited our president's re-election. The second is that our president knew nothing about them! He learned about them in the same manner that we, the uninformed and unconnected, learned about these things — from the press. Somehow he managed to say this with a straight face.
Isn't the office of the presidency reputed to be the most powerful position in the world, with nearly unlimited resources, both overt and covert, to gather information? Where were these resources before these stories made the press?
Speaker of the House Tip O'Neill would start his staff briefings every day with the following: "What do you know that I don't know?" It would seem that President Obama is asking, "What do you know that I need to maintain plausible deniability about?"
Lately when I see our president on TV, I seem to hear the theme song to "Hogan's Heroes" play in my mind. I keep waiting for him to channel Sgt. Schultz as he says, "I know nothing"! I am beginning to believe him.

New technology will make tar sands obsolete option
I can't decide whether my state senator, Ron Collins, R-Wells, deserves a medal for bravery or foolishness for putting his name to the April 7 op-ed in favor of reversing the aging Portland Pipe Line ("Maine Voices: Oil sands should be part of energy mix").
Instead of carrying conventional crude, the pipeline would bring tar sands — the dirtiest, most corrosive substance on the planet — from Canada through Vermont, New Hampshire and Maine, to be loaded onto tankers in Casco Bay and eventually sold on the world market. Big favor to Big Oil, big risk of oil spills and no benefit to Maine.
We've lived through years of amazing innovations. But while your car may have an up-to-the-minute GPS system, you still have to gas up its internal combustion engine! You can work from home on a laptop computer, after you adjust the thermostat on the oil-burning furnace!
Why do we still have energy technology that hasn't changed since the days when one computer took up a whole building and keypunch cards were cutting-edge?
It's not like fossil fuel is easy to come by. Right now, Big Oil is harvesting tar sand by destroying Alberta's boreal forest, bird and animal habitats, displacing First Nations citizens and creating toxic tailings ponds so huge they can be seen from space. Big Oil just needs pipelines to get their filthy tar sand oil out of Canada.
Back in the day, even science fiction authors didn't predict the Internet — couldn't imagine it. There must be comparable solutions to our energy needs that we can't even imagine now.
We still have a choice. If we can have smartphones and affordable laptops, why can't we have tiny, cheap, powerful solar panels heating our homes and supplying our electricity and leave the pipelines behind?

CAMBRIDGE, Mass. - The No. 6 MIT women's swimming and diving team met non-conference opponent Colby College in a regular-season dual meet Saturday afternoon in the Zesiger Center Pool. While the Mules managed to pick up a few individual wins, the Engineers controlled the meet, winning 185-113.
Colby sophomore Mandy Ferguson picked up the Mules' first win with her swim in the 1000 Free (10:51.54); freshman Heather Cronin took second for Colby (10:58.78), narrowing the Engineers' lead to six points after two events.
MIT responded by posting three 1-2-3 sweeps in individual racing events, including a dramatic finish in the 100 Free. Freshman Elina Hu won the event (55.56), with juniors Katie Creasey (56.22) and Lauren Hernley (56.23) squeaking by Colby's fastest, Chelsea Heneghan (56.24) in fourth.
Freshman Kathryn Lee posted two additional wins for the Mules with her swims in the 200 Fly (2:13.36) and 400 IM (4:48.62). Ferguson led another Colby sweep late in the meet with her swim in the 500 Free (5:17.85); Heneghan (5:24.90) and Cronin (5:26.43) were close behind her.
In the diving well, MIT senior Kristie D'Ambrosio picked up wins and posted season-highs with her NCAA-national-qualifying scores in both 1-meter (256.26) and 3-meter (261.15) springboard.
Colby (2-3) has the rest of the weekend off and next travel to Lewiston, Mass. to swim against Bates College on January 23. MIT (5-0) looks forward to Sunday, January 17, when the Engineers face-off against the Bears of Coast Guard and the Pride of host Springfield College, winners of the last nine NEWMAC Championships.

The Old Man had a thing about lights.
Nothing could set him off quicker than a room with a light on and nobody in it. We had strict rules about not turning on any lights until evening, and I can remember sitting quietly at dusk, counting the minutes until a light could finally fill the room.
The Old Man saw light as a gift. And maybe a bit of a miracle. He believed it should be treated accordingly.
For a week during summer, he took us to the mountains in upstate New York. We stayed at a cabin with indoor running water — ice-cold, lake-fed water — but that was it. No lights.
For a city kid, lying in a cot in a cabin in the mountains at night, I truly understood dark for the first time. I could see nothing, not even the outline of my fingers in front of my face. The dark was real, almost a living presence. It was a little scary, and I squeezed my eyes shut to try to force sleep. Then came morning and the sun rose through the cabin window like a heavenly light.
It's hard in our modern world to appreciate the miracle of light. We are nearly overwhelmed by light. The middle of the night barely exists any more in a town or city as we've banished darkness to the darkness.
One of my favorite old books — first published in 1954 — is the "Handbook of Christian Feasts and Customs" by Father Francis X. Weiser. You can still get it used through Amazon, but it will cost you an arm and a leg.
Father Weiser describes the celebration of the Easter Vigil among the early Christians:
"From the fourth century on, in all cities and towns the mood of quiet, somber expectancy suddenly turned into radiant exultation and joy at the sight of the first stars in the evening of Holy Saturday. Thousands of lights began to illuminate the growing darkness.
The churches seemed to burst with the blaze of lamps and candles, the homes of the people shone with light, and even the streets were bright with the glow of a thousand tapers.
"At a time when electric lights were unknown," Father Weiser wrote, "this tremendous annual illumination was overwhelming."
And then he noted the names of the celebration that come down to us from the writings of the Fathers and the liturgical texts of the time: Sacrum Lucernarium, the "Great Service of Light" or Irradiata Fulgoribus, the "Night of Radiant Splendor."
Father Weiser cites a poem to the Easter Vigil written in the early fifth century: "Eternal God, O Lord of Light, Who hast created day and night; the sun has set, and shadows deep, now over land and waters creep; But darkness must not reign today: Grant us the light of Christ, we pray."
Perhaps our greatest sin is making the miraculous ordinary. This is what Pope Francis seems to be warning us about every day. We have to cut through the clutter and get down to the very essential: Christ has risen. No greater miracle ever was. Or ever will be. And our world can never be the same once we have believed in that miracle.
Easter pulls us to the eternal truth that is at the heart of all existence. Easter means the triumph of Christ over sin. Over the power of evil in the world. Over death.
Easter means the victory of light over darkness. Easter means the end of all fear.
I think of the Old Man packing us off to where a kid couldn't see his fingers in front of his face.
Then the mountain sun in the morning would wake the whole world. And even a kid could understand the miracle.
Have an Easter filled with joy and light.

Toon Update: 3/19/2009 - Immortal Follow Up
We cleared Naxx last night on 25man, and are obviously going for Immortal. I don't know about you guys but when I think about the achievement I compartmentalize the bosses into Hard, Medium, and Relatively Easy. Some of the bosses like Anub'Rekhan I don't really worry about. I consider these bosses relatively easy. Yes, there are things that can kill you if you're careless, but it shouldn't be a problem for an experienced guild. The Medium bosses are those that have things that can kill you quickly but are manageable. They are more risky but if your focused everything will go fine. The hard bosses are the one's I worry about. I put Instructor Raz, Thaddius, Heigan, and KT in this group. These are bosses that have a lot of risk or bad luck can royally mess you up.
So I think of our odds of completing Immortal in terms of how many of each of these types we have left. In the beginning I bearly think about the achievement. With 12 to 15 bosses to go, there is so much that can go wrong its not worth stressing over. So we started with Instructor Raz last night and it was a very smooth kill. I think we have perfected him. It was good to get him out of the way but with 14 bosses left I'm not really thinking about Immortal. After that we cleared the Military wing with no problem. Then we go to the Spider Wing and clear it with no problem. Two wings down, but still 9 bosses to go. Immortal is on my mind a little more but I am still able to ignore it for the most part.
We then head to the Construct wing. For me, this is where things started to get a little tense. Patchwerk is easy, and the kill went smoothly. The kill of Grobbulus when fine also, but after you kill him the poison zones are still around and you are still in combat. I see someone standing close to an expanding cloud and I think. If someone dies now, do we lose Immoral? The person did move but it add a new level of worry and paranoia to my experience because there are a couple of bosses where you don't leave combat right after the boss dies. Gluth went fine also but he always worries me because Decimate takes every one so low.
At Thaddius, my tension shifted into high gear. This is the boss were we lost Immortal last week due to a DC. A couple of people had DCed already that night and a few other people had reported lag. We had a plan to deal with DCs but there was still a ton of stress. We take out the two adds without a problem and then some one misses the Jump. I think "oh crap," but they deal with it well and get back to the group with out dying or crossing charges. At this point I'm only thinking about 1 thing: DO NOT MISS A CHARGE CHANGE. DPS is completely secondary, and if you looked at a WWS of this fight It would look like I played horribly. I procced Wrath Eclipse several times, I let my DoTs drop a couple of times, but none of it really mattered because staying alive was the primary responsibility and we ended up getting Shocking for the one person in raid that didn't already have it.
At this point I've got a count in my head. Five bosses left: Two relatively easy, one medium, and two hard. We head to the Plague wing and kill Noth with out problems. One easy boss down, 4 to go.
Heigan is next. We actually have a member sit out because he has a history of connection issues. Phase one of the fight goes well as usually but as we all know the true danger is the dance. We are so focused on getting this right no one is allowed to DPS during the dance. As I'm running through it looks like a couple of people get close to clipping one of them but we make it though without anyone dying. We go back to phase one and try and kill him before the dance starts again. About half way through I hear the player dying sound and panic. Fortunately it was just the Mage Mirror images, and we kill Heigan without any deaths. One hard boss down, 3 to go.
The last boss in Plague wing Loatheb went down with out any problems. One easy boss down, 2 to go.
On to Sapphiron. I consider Sapphiron a Medium boss. With full frost resist it's pretty easy, but you can get messed up by an unlucky DC or if all of the Ice Blocks are cast on one side of the raid. We ended up killing him with no problem. One easy boss down, 1 hard boss to go.
There is just one boss between us and Immortality. Kel'Thuzad isn't all that tough to kill anymore, but he is tough to have everyone stay alive. There is just so much random stuff that can kill you quickly, from Ice Blocks, Mana Bombs, Void zones, Aggro drops.
Phase one went ok, I was playing very conservatively. Normally I would DPS the Soul Weaver as soon as it spawns, but last night I was on Skeletons and I waited for the Weavers to come out a little bit before I DPS them.
Phase two started ok. Then about 30% - 35% into the fight I hear a player call out "So and So Ice Tombed," and 3 seconds later my GM said "Oh Crap." The player had died. I'm not not looking to assign blame here. I don't know what happened. Maybe it was a fluke maybe someone messed up a little. I don't know, but Immortal was gone.
I don't know what is worse. Having a player die early in the night or a player dying so late in the night. I've had it both ways, but I can't decide which is worse. On the nights where some one died fairly early its very demotivating and just pisses me off, but it relaxes the rest of the run and I can move on easily. The late deaths are just demoralizing. I get over it fairly quickly. In fact i would love to try again tonight if possible, but I need to log off for a little while to recharge. I had planned on leveling my priest a little bit last night, but I wasn't motivated to do it. Anyway, I'll be back to normal and ready to play soon.
The way I see it we have another week or two to try. If we do get complete the achievement of those all time great moments in the game. If that happens it will be worth the wait. If it doesn't, then I will have Ulduar to play with. Its a Win/Win.

Oh man, I know exactly how you feel. After some scary disconnects on Grobbulus and one of our healers DC'ing in a void zone on 4Horseman, we still managed to get up to KT with no one dying. That is, until one of our melee died to KT when threat reset after a MC.
This achievement is definitely not a fun one.

KT is sly and very dangerous. The top guild on my server still can't perfect the fight. The second ranked guild managed to get Immortal last week, so this week was a tense race between 1 and 3. My guild, the third ranked, got it and the number one failed again (too bad I'm not a raider or I would have been there =[). I hear the top guild's original attempt failed because a mind controlled player killed another raider. And most of the other guilds on my server who have attempted the fight, failed on KT also. So I believe his to be the most dangerous encounter.
I think a lot of it comes down to personal responsibility. DPS should turn off their meters and make sure they fulfill all their rolls (decursing and such), and same for healers. Immortal isn't a race.

Great blog man,
And yeah that night that you get immortal is so awesome.
Has your guild considered doing the wings in reverse difficulty order? (Con > DK > Plague > Arach)
The night we actually did immortal we had someone accidently die on patchwerk when they lagged and ran in before the OT, so we ran out and reset Naxx.
Also had everyone flask because downing bosses faster = less mistakes to be had all around. We actually got 2 different WWS ranked time kills that night because dps was so focused.
Again, thanks for your work for the community.

Oh, I really feel for you man! So close and so far at the same time.
I wish you and your guild good luck - it's the hardest achievement in this game right now, but you can do it :)
I'd love to add handful of tips below, but I don't think there's anything I could post that you don't know at this point :) So once again - Good Luck!

We've managed Immortal, but it's fairly time consuming, mostly because we backtrack a lot to cover all the fights where someone's most likely to snuff it. We do pull it a bit differently than you guys:
1. Razuvious
2. Noth
3. Heigan
4. Patchwerk
5. Grobbulus
6. Gluth
7. Thaddius
8. Gothik
9. 4 Horsemen
10. At this point you can do either Loatheb or Spider Wing - you're pretty much home free on the pre-Sapph/KT fights. There is pretty much no excuse for anyone dying on Spider Wing or Loatheb.
11. Sapphiron
12. Kel'Thuzad.
Anyone with serious lag or framerate issues - sit out the fight where it's an issue (Heigan and Thaddius are the irritants here). You only need to be in the Immortal raid for a KT kill anyway so it doesn't matter.
Priests in the raid with Pain Suppression or Guardian Spirit are virtually required for that inevitable Oh Shit moment where someone disconnects on, say, Sapphiron phase 2.
Kel'Thuzad is obviously the major hurdle and we finally got past it by taking a hard look at our raid and splitting our three fastest healers to the left, central, and right portions of the raid for Frost Blast. I OT on this fight and stay in caster form as long as possible to Cyclone any mind-controlled players (it also makes me easier to control if I get MC'd). DPS is a secondary or even tertiary concern here, and people should save their pot cooldowns on this and other fights for a health pot if at all possible.
Immortal is by far the biggest f-ing pain in the ass achievement because there are just so many variables you can't control for (sudden power outage in your tank's house on Thaddius? Check!), but it's so awesome when it finally comes together. I'm kind of torn on whether it should be in the game at all for that reason, because in the end a very healthy percentage of it is just pure luck. So your first Immortal is cool...but repeating it is sheer hell. You *know* you can do it because you've *already* done it, and then all of this STUPID UNCONTROLLABLE CRAP keeps happening!
I'm interested to see whether Blizz programs a similar achievement for Ulduar, or yokes it to the meta-achievement for the drakes.

Revision history for Perl extension RPC::XML.
0.51 Thu Jan 30 00:49:07 PST 2003
Removed an extraneous print line in t/11_base64_fh that caused a
warning on some systems.
Fixed calls to skip() in the test suites so that they work with
older versions of the Test module.
Calls to the encode_base64 routine from MIME::Base64 now pass a zero-
length second argument, to suppress newlines between Base64 lines
when stringifying the RPC::XML::base64 objects. This is to accomodate
a broken Java XML-RPC package.
Force a default value for the compress_re attribute in RPC::XML::Server
when none is otherwise present. All my tests have had Compress::Zlib
available, but when it isn't the compress_re attribute was triggering
warnings when used in a regex.
0.50 Mon Jan 27 03:24:45 PST 2003
Changed the usage of =head3 directives in the manual page for
RPC::XML::Procedure to a =over/=back block instead. The =head3
directive requires a newer set of pod utilities, and would mean the
package had trouble building on 5.005 installations.
Extended the RPC::XML::base64 class to allow for and handle being
given a filehandle object instead of straight data. The object is
kept as an open filehandle, and the buffer position is always noted
and reset when operated on, so that other parts of the process using
the handle don't get surprised. Added tests in t/11_base64_fh.t to
exercise this.
Added a serialize() method to all the data classes in preparation for
changing the client and server modules to stream XML over the line
rather than print it using in-memory strings. Added test suite
t/15_serialize.t to exercise this.
Modified RPC::XML::Parser to accept arguments to new() that instruct
it to spool Base64 data to a filehandle, using the new capabilities
of the base64 class described previously. Added tests to t/20_parser.t
and support for the parameters to the constructors of the client and
base server classes. Documented all around.
Re-engineered the test for the "bytes" pragma in RPC::XML, so that
it now works with Perl 5.005.
Fixed the credentials() method in RPC::XML::Client.
All the internal use of object attributes in RPC::XML::Client now use
accessors instead of the hash keys directly, to make it easier to
sub-class the package. The same was done in RPC::XML::Server and to
some degree in Apache::RPC::Server. The server classes are more likely
to have problems, though.
The parsing of incoming data in the client and both server classes is
now done to a streaming XML parser, eliminating the need for the
full message to ever be in memory at once. Likewise, the client and
server classes have new attributes and accessor methods to allow
them to spool outgoing messages to files if the messages threaten to
be too large to keep in memory (this is best used when dealing with a
lot of Base64 data that is being dealt with directly on disk as well).
0.46 Sun Dec 29 23:39:05 PST 2002
Applied a patch from Andrew Langmead to fix a bug in the uri() method
of RPC::XML::Client. Prior, retrieving the value could accidentally
reset it. Applied another fix from him to prevent a possible warning.
Applied another patch to better handle testing of the availability of
compression in the client.
Moving around some of the RPM spec-file generation caused problems
with some people trying to build the package if spec.in was missing.
Fixed this in Makefile.PL.
Fix to RPC::XML::Procedure per tip from Stig Porsgaard, to fix the
reading of 'signature' arguments to new() when providing all the
proc data directly. Reported by others as well, but Stig nailed it
down to a specific line.
0.45 Tue Oct 29 21:06:00 PST 2002
Fixed a problem in the test-usage of the bytes pragma in RPC::XML,
reported by Marc Jauvin.
Closed a potential security hole in the parsing of external entities,
pointed out by Gregory Steuck.
0.44 Fri Aug 30 23:44:08 PDT 2002
Cleaned up the exports list in RPC::XML.pm, which still had remnants
from when this package was intended to extend XML-RPC. There were no
routines to match the symbols, but the potential for error was there.
Fixed a typo in the docs for RPC::XML::Client, and some documentation
goofs in RPC::XML::Server (regarding the timeout method/option). A
few doc fixes in RPC::XML::Procedure, for good measure.
Implemented two fixes sent in by Marc Liyanage: a fix for setting the
Content-Length headers on messages that takes the length in bytes
rather than characters; the second is a fix around the compression
support that makes certain an undef isn't evaluated against the
The above added an exported function to RPC::XML, so that got
documented. In the process, it occurred to me to document the helper
functions like RPC_BOOLEAN, RPC_DOUBLE, etc.
0.43 Sun Aug 18 22:19:30 PDT 2002
Changed methods/methodSignature.code, t/40_server.t and
t/60_net_server.t so that the provided system.methodSignature follows
the accepted API (returns a list of lists, rather than list of
strings). Pointed out by Bjoern Stierand.
Added a missing helper (RPC_I4) to RPC::XML.pm.
Fixed a bad bug with the newly-added compression support in
Apache::RPC::Server::handler. Because $self was defined earlier,
strict failed to point out that my object in that scope was called
$srv, rather than $self. And $self->compress didn't work, amazingly
enough. Found and reported by Scott Fagg.
Added a credentials() method to the RPC::XML::Client class to set
Basic Authentication credentials on the underlying LWP::UserAgent
object. Per suggestion and sample implementation from Stuart Clark.
Fixed a docs-nit in RPC::XML::Server, and did some major clean-up in
the docs for RPC::XML. In particular, added documentation for one
of the data class methods that had been overlooked ("type").
0.42 Thu Aug 1 00:51:12 PDT 2002
Changed the test in Apache::RPC::Server of the Content-type header so
that it accepts a header that contains "text/xml", as opposed to only
accepting a header that exactly equalled that string. Allows for
things like SOAP::Lite's XMLRPC::Lite which include a charset in the
time2iso8601() in the RPC::XML module now allows defaulting of the
$time argument to time() (which means no timezone specification).
Found a bug in RPC::XML::Parser where base64 data being parsed in a
request/response message wasn't being properly passed to the c'tor
for RPC::XML::base64. Reported by Chris Brierley.
Added a line in Apache::RPC::Server to set the Content-Type header
on HEAD responses. Apache won't take this from the usual header()
method, it has to be explicitly set with content_type().
Two of the tests in t/40_server.t could cause fatal errors since a
return value wasn't tested for ref-ness before having a method called
on it. Fixed.
Compress::Zlib-based compression is now supported in RPC::XML::Server,
RPC::XML::Client and Apache::RPC::Server. It should be compatible with
the XMLRPC::Lite package's compression.
0.41 Wed May 22 02:50:47 PDT 2002
Wrapped the call to XML::Parser::parse (lib/RPC/XML/Parser.pm) in an
eval {} so that parse failures don't kill a server or client. Reported
by Kevin Greene.
An intended clone-operation in RPC::XML::response::new (lib/RPC/XML.pm)
was never actually written, which allowed for a corner case that could
result in new() return undef when it shouldn't. Related to the bug
reported by Sergey Scherbinin.
The RPC::XML::Procedure::call method (lib/RPC/XML/Procedure.pm) had one
error-check loop that was returning a full RPC::XML::response object,
instead of just a RPC::XML::fault. Reported by Sergey Scherbinin.
0.40 Sat May 4 00:42:18 PDT 2002
Fixed some grammar problems in error messages, and some formatting.
Fixed a bug in the new() method of Apache::RPC::Server where it was
expecting the value of the "apache" key to be an object of the
Apache::Server class, but it was actually getting an object of the
Apache class.
Created RPC::XML::Function class, which is a type of server-side
encapsulator that doesn't bother with signature tests of any kind.
The DTD and make_method tool support the new type.
Changed the encoding of the Perl code in etc/make_method as follows:
If the code does not already contain either of the two sequences,
']]>' or '__DATA__', then the code is wrapped in a <![CDATA[ ]]>
section, with #!/usr/bin/perl (actually, $Config{startperl}) at the
head and __DATA__ at the end. Besides leaving the Perl code readable,
the *.xpl files can now be syntax-checked with "perl -cx". Thanks to
the mod_perl guys for this idea, cribbed from their manual page.
Abstracted some of the invocation code out of the server class and
into the RPC::XML::Procedure class, where it really belonged. This
aided in further eliminating redundancy in the server class in the
same general area. I may yet want to tune this area, but I'm a good
deal happier with the reduction in complexity and repetition.
0.37 Fri Mar 22 22:16:08 PST 2002
Applied a patch to RPC::XML::Server from Tino Wuensche
(<email@example.com>) that fixed some of the signal-handling
and exit-case-handling in server_loop().
Fixed a bug in RPC::XML::Procedure found by a user (a former
co-worker from my Denver days, coincidentally enough) that would
trigger when auto_methods was set to 1 on a server object, but the
request had no matching file anywhere in the search path.
0.36 Tue Jan 29 12:11:30 PST 2002
The file util.pl in the t directory was accidentally omitted from the
0.35 release. This release is meant only to correct that oversight.
0.35 Sun Jan 27 16:29:19 PST 2002
Fixed a small bug in make_method that would have caused a failure if
anyone used the command-line switches to specify data, rather than a
base-file (specifically, the handling of the --code argument). Also
clarified a few places in the man page.
Found bugs in both versions of the system.status server method (both
the basic and the Apache flavor). Both were neglecting to set the
"methods_known" value. Also found a bug in system.methodHelp. Amazing
what writing the regression tests can uncover.
RPC::XML::Method is now a skeleton file, slated to be removed by or
before 1.0. It has been renamed to RPC::XML::Procedure, and the
RPC::XML::Method class is declared as an empty subclass of the
RPC::XML::Procedure class. Procedures differ from methods in that they
do not get the server object instance as a first parameter in the list
that gets passed in.
Support for RPC::XML::Procedure (and general procedure vs. method)
added to the DTD and the make_method tool. All the routines in the
ex/ directory are declared as procedures, to further illustrate the
When code blocks for XPL files are eval'd, they are given a "package"
statement to force subsequent calls to be in the RPC::XML::Pprocedure
namespace, rather than defaulting to main (a potentially dangerous
assumption). The docs on routine-calling in RPC::XML::Server have been
updated to discuss this.
Many more tests added to the suite for RPC::XML::Server.
Created the test suite for RPC::XML::Client.
RPC::XML::Client no longer returns a full RPC::XML::response object
from any of its routines. Rather, simple_request still does what it
always has, and send_request now returns a data-type value. All the
data-type classes have a method called "is_fault" that returns false
for all except (of course) RPC::XML::fault. This lets callers of
send_request test the return value to see if it is a fault.
Added callback support for errors and faults to the RPC::XML::Client
class. This allows programmers to tie specific actions to cases where
a call returns a RPC::XML::fault object, or an outright error.
Created a separate test suite for RPC::XML::Server when used in
conjunction with the Net::Server package (it skips if the latter is
not installed on the system).
Almost all of the method-manipulation routines in RPC::XML::Server (all
but add_default_methods()) now have counterparts called by the same
name after s/method/proc/. This is purely for syntactical sugar and
symmetry. Except in the case of add_proc(), where it actually ensures
that a hash-reference calling convention is geared correctly to add a
RPC::XML::Procedure object rather than RPC::XML::Method.
0.30 Thu Jan 3 01:57:29 PST 2002
- first beta release
Apache::RPC::Server::list_servers no longer sorts the list before
returning it. No reason to assume it matters, or to levy that tax
against those who don't care.
RPC::XML::Server::url now constructs saner strings for HTTPS and for
HTTP on port 80.
The new() method in RPC::XML::Server wasn't quite handling the "host"
and "port" arguments that Apache::RPC::Server sent it correctly.
Added a patch to the RPC::XML::Server class from Christopher Blizzard
(email@example.com) to allow control over the timeout interval that
HTTP::Daemon uses in answering new connections.
Replaced a GNU Make-centric dependancy rule for the XPL files with
a more portable .SUFFIXES-based one. This is unfortunate, as the %
syntax of GNU make is much cleaner. But GNU Make isn't universal. Yet.
This release marks the debut of Apache::RPC::Status, a monitor similar
in nature and design to Apache::Status, for running RPC servers under
Apache/mod_perl. See the manual page for details.
Documentation for Apache::RPC::Server was updated based on trials and
travails in trying to actually set up a configuration inside <Perl>
blocks. This isn't very clear in the mod_perl documentation, but at
least the docs for this module reflect exactly what I have configured
on my development box, so I know it works.
0.29 Sun Dec 2 22:41:39 PST 2001
Added share_methods(), copy_methods() and delete_method() calls to the
RPC::XML::Server class (and thus to the Apache class as well). Had
already added an INSTALL_DIR method to retrieve the class-specific
installation dir to the Apache class, so mirrored it here, as well.
Added list_servers() static method to Apache::RPC::Server, to allow
for abstract retrieval of the ID-tags of the current known servers.
This is mainly so Apache::RPC::Status can use it in conjunction with
get_server() to examine the server objects for the sake of stats and
Added list_methods() to RPC::XML::Server, to list the object's known
(published) methods by name. Mainly for use in the regression suites,
but worth documenting in the API in case someone else finds it
Four of the provided methods in the introspection API
(system.introspection, system.listMethods, system.methodHelp and
system.methodSignature) needed to be updated to use the newer API for
the XML::RPC::Method class when retrieving information from the server.
Started the test suites for RPC::XML::Method and RPC::XML::Server.
The tests that are delivered as part of this build are not fully
complete, but should be a reasonable start.
0.28 Sun Oct 7 21:27:39 PDT 2001
Found a subtle-but-nasty bug in the handling of RPC::XML::string
objects. Thanks to Dominic Mitchell <email@example.com> for pointing
me in the right direction.
Started down the path of making the suite as a whole geared more
towards real use than illustrative example. The XML data-classes now
no longer use indention (or any superfluous whitespace) in their
stringification. This shortened the code quite a bit, and will also
mean shorter messages. This could not have been done cleanly without
the tests in t/10_data.t.
Extracted the method-manipulation code into a new class, called
RPC::XML::Method. This should make method-sharing easier, and pull
a lot of method-specific code out of RPC::XML::Server and
Clarified some issues in the new() constructor of the
Apache::RPC::Server class, and also changed the calling convention.
It no longer treats the first few arguments in any special way at all.
The arguments are all consistently taken as option/value pairs, just
as with RPC::XML::Server. The documentation reflects this. This may
break things built on the old style, but in the long run it should
prove much better.
0.27 Sun Jul 8 16:25:51 PDT 2001
Removed a -w warning from RPC/XML.pm. Fixed some cases in the new()
method of RPC::XML::boolean that would have permitted invalid data.
Added two convenience methods to RPC::XML::fault, called code() and
string(), that fetch the faultCode and faultString member values as
native Perl values. The RPC::XML::base64 class was using the wrong
container tags in the as_string method.
Clarified and expanded some of the documentation in RPC/XML/Server.pm.
Adjusted the PREREQ_PM hash in Makefile.PL so that it correctly looks
for LWP, and also looks for File::Spec 0.8 or newer (needed to ensure
that the splitpath() method is available).
Cleaned up the load-tests (t/00_load.t) to use the Test harnessing
package. Added test suites for the RPC::XML data classes (t/10_data.t,
96 tests) and the RPC::XML::Parser container-class (t/20_parser.t,
7 tests).
0.26 Mon Jun 25 22:30:18 PDT 2001
Fixed some doc errors in RPC::XML::Server. Mainly things I had
simplified, but not updated the docs to reflect.
Added a fair amount to the docs in Apache::RPC::Server. In particular,
a new section was added that illustrates using <Perl> configuration
sections to create the server objects in the master Apache process,
so that they are automatically inherited by children.
0.25 Tue Jun 12 22:35:09 PDT 2001
This is the initial release.

M.J. Salahuddin is a 6'3" 195 pound safety from Fayetteville, North Carolina. In his junior year, M.J. helped lead Jack Britt to the second round of the state playoffs, recording 79 tackles, 3 sacks, and an interception. Highlights of his interception can be viewed here. A talented athlete who also plays basketball and runs track, M.J. has attracted the attention of coaches throughout the Carolinas. After visiting Durham in the fall for a game, M.J. made a second trip for Duke's Junior Day in January.
BDN: Can you start off by describing the strengths and weaknesses of your game for someone who hasn't had a chance to see you play?
My game is basically, as a safety, I try to be the deepest man, not let anybody get behind me. I try to read the quaterback a lot and I like to come up and make a lot of tackles, kind of when I play as a linebacker.
BDN: What are some of the things you have been working on this offseason?
This offseason I've mainly been working on change of direction. Because when I go to camps, that's mainly all they talk about is change direction. How quickly can you change direction and keep focused. I'm also working on putting on a little weight for next year, and my legs, trying to get faster.
BDN: What are some of the goals you have for yourself and your team this fall?
Our goal this past year was obviously state, but we came up short in the second round. That will definitely be another milestone for us next year. I just want to be a leader, a vocal leader, and try to take us back to state next year, my senior year.
BDN: What are the most important things you are looking for in a college?
What I look for in a school is the academics, because I'm very interested in the academics. I look at how many seniors they have on their team at my positon and if I'm going to get a chance to play or not. And I look at the campus – see how nice that is. I definitely like taking hands-on visits with my family, from there I go with my parents and making a decision.
BDN: You mentioned academics as one of the top things you're looking at; is there a particular field you are interested in?
I'm almost leaning towards education right now, going into the teaching field. If that doesn't work out, because I'm an athlete, I'd love to work with athletes in sports medicine or something along those lines.
BDN: What schools have you recently heard from? Who were the first schools to contact you?
The first school that I came in contact with was Clemson, through Eric MacLain. I took a visit there with him. Then I went to ECU and then I went to Duke. NC State invited me but I didn't get a chance to get up there, I was busy that weekend. I definitely want to take more visits, open up my options and go from there.
BDN: Do you have any plans for other visits this spring or summer?
I want to go to the three schools I just named, and I want to go to the NC State camp, they invited me. The Duke camp, ECU camp, Clemson camp. Wake Forest just started sending me letters, so I'll try to go to something up there.
BDN: It's still very early in the process, but ideally, when would you like to make your college decision?
Hopefully I can start getting offers soon, as soon as September rolls around and then from there I'll just start going through my options, talk with my family, see what they like, see what I'm interested in, and probably make a decision. I'll definitely probably wait it out, I won't commit right then and there.
BDN: Is there anything else you think is important for ACC football fans to know about you?
As a player, I'm basically just a great leader. I love to work, I love to help my teammates succeed. I just want to be the best, I'm a competitor, it's in my blood, it's in my family. School-wise and personality-wise, I'm just out of the box. I love to have fun with my team, just be around football basically. I'm very coachable, I love to listen and learn and then react on that.
BDN: Those traits will all certainly serve you well. Thanks a lot, M.J. and best of luck to you.
Thank you, I'll definitely keep in touch. Thank you for the opportunity.

Carrie Underwood Aims to Keep Sexy Outfits for Her Husband's Eyes Only
Carrie Underwood recently covered SELF magazine for the fourth time, and in her interview the beautiful country starlet opened up about some of her secrets for staying healthy and happy, as well as revealing that she's still starry-eyed for hockey playing husband Mike Fisher. Though Underwood admits there are things the two are still learning — her "conservative" husband occasionally asks her if she thinks her dress might be a bit short — Underwood seems more than happy to consider her husband when selecting her wardrobe.
"I get texts from Mike when I'm on a red carpet that read, 'You're so hot!' I like that," she tells SELF. "Words of affirmation mean a lot to me. But my husband is also pretty conservative. When I'm wearing some outfits, he'll say, 'That dress is a little short, don't you think?' He would never tell me I can't do or wear something or make me feel bad, but I'm a married lady now, so I try to be respectful of my husband. I want to look sexy for him, and I appreciate that he wants to look nice for me, too."
The vegetarian, who recently went vegan, says she loves eating and talking about food. And while Fisher is still a meat eater, Underwood says she's happy being what she calls a "95 percent vegan." A girl's gotta splurge now and then. "Sometimes you're at a birthday party and there's cake and … you know, you can't resist," she explains, adding, "My veganism is based on a concern about where my food is coming from. In my perfect world, I'd have webcams wherever food is processed so I'd know how clean it is."
Though she claims she'll never eat meat again "because I look and feel better without it," the 'Remind Me' singer thinks she might make an exception under one condition: "If I could raise my own cows and chickens and produce my own eggs and cheese, it would be awesome! The food would taste better, because the animals would be happy." For now, Underwood's health habits seems to be paying off, as she's always radiant with her slim, toned physique. And, hey, though Fisher might occasionally ask for a hem to be taken out here or there, we don't think he's complaining.

Enjoy a group of HIGHLY MOTIVATED students. Be free to INNOVATE and EXPERIMENT within your classroom.
The Honors Program offers individual faculty members the opportunity to expand their pedagogical experience by creating and teaching an EXCITING honors section of an existing course in their discipline.
If you have an idea that has been kicking around, don't hesitate to contact one of the honors coordinators. We'd love to see some new courses being proposed—as long as there's an existing course outline and your department is supportive (at this time funding for the course is provided by your department).
Honors contracts are an inventive way to enrich a course experience for students and faculty alike, by adding a tad more rigor, depth, interdisciplinary flavor, research, writing, class presentation, and so on… Students get important transfer and/or job benefits by earning honors notation on their transcripts – it could make all the difference in transfer admission or job advancement.
What to do: Send your students to the Honors office (AH-102) to pick up our explanatory handout, with the contract signature form attached. Do your sensible best to evaluate the students' preparation and motivation to do work "above and beyond". Use our "idea page" to select some tentative goals for the contract. Have both student(s) and professor sign the contract and send the student(s) back to AH-102. We'll do the rest! Please contact the Honors Program for specific semester deadlines.
Reminders: Once the honors contract has been processed, students CANNOT be dropped from the honors section and re-add the original non-honors course. Students must drop the course completely or continue in the honors section.
Honors credit can ONLY be awarded for FACE to FACE classes that are 16 weeks in length and are 100 level or above.
(10 hours per student with a maximum of 30 hours)
Easy ones, try AH-102, 388-3512.
Tougher ones, call Hector Martinez, 388-3585 firstname.lastname@example.com

simple question, how mutch vac to use ?
let me explain: jsut did the top of a bord ( my third ) and, despite the vac ( witch is good to get the rail wraped ) i could not get all the bubbles away ( some little ones i could not push away ). but, i'm using only polythene film over the laminate, no release no breather.
the next board i'm going to go with release ( perforated and breather ) and then polythene !
my concern, once the breather is on, no way to see anything so no wayto see if they are some bubbles !
i woul dbe tempted to get full vac ( in my case, minus 25 inch is the max my pump does ) but i'm concerned this would dry out the laminate and transfer all resin into the breather !
i'm concerned if i set the vac ton low bubbles might not get out !
any ideas, anyone already done it ?

text: Raven Unveils New NH3 Application Systems February 11, 2014 11:00 PM Tweet the AccuFlow Vortex, a single-cooler anhydrous ammonia application system with a capacity in excess of 50 gpm. © Nate Birt TAGS: Marketing, Overseas December 18, 2014 By Nate Birt Top Producer Managing Editor Email Two products introduced this month by Raven Industries aim to help farmers apply anhydrous ammonia (NH3) over large operations in a shorter timeframe. Additionally, new features will make application safer and reduce wear on components. The first product is the AccuFlow Vortex, a single-cooler NH3 application system with a capacity in excess of 50 gpm. The system comes preassembled and maintains a smaller footprint on the applicator toolbar. "It's 25% more than what a dual-cooler system will cool," notes Gary Esselink, product manager for application controls, during a kickoff event on the eve of the 2014 National Farm Machinery Show. The AccuFlow Vortex will replace Raven's existing dual-cooler system that featured a capacity of roughly 40 gpm. Click here for complete coverage of the 2014 National Farm Machinery Show. And don't miss these three free Farm Journal Media events featuring Greg "Machinery Pete" Peterson, Bob Utterback and more! The second product is the AccuFlow HP+ system, which features the Vortex cooler and a dynamically controlled pump for added capacity through the field. "Now we are doing in excess of 80 gpm, which is equivalent to someone pulling a 60-foot toolbar and doing 300 lb. of N per acre and driving 9.3 mph," Esselink says. The system replaces Raven's previous high-performance system. Farmers working on smaller operations will continue to have access to Raven's single conventional cooler with 30 gpm of capacity. Other features of the new application systems include: Five expansion points for maximum cooling. Stainless steel components. Groove lock fittings equipped with an interior seal have replaced pipe fittings, cutting the time required to access the flow meter from as much as 30 minutes to fewer than 10. Time required to bleed anhydrous from the system has been reduced from as much as 3 hours to 20 minutes. Bleeding is now safer because it is controlled at the front of the machine and goes out the back. Additionally, a safety bleed valve can be used once the system is drained to ensure any leftover anhydrous is evacuated. Rotating fins in the main flow tube mix cooler and warmer anhydrous, enhancing the capacity of the system and creating uniform coolness. Pressure transducer senses valves that fail to open and shuts down the system when it crosses a specified threshold for added safety. The system has been tested for bleeding at up to 750 psi. The upgrades are a reflection of demand from large farms and custom applicators, Esselink says. Conventional wisdom has held that 1 lb. of nitrogen can be used to produce 1 bu. of corn, so as producers increasingly aim for 300 bu., more NH3 needs to be applied at faster rates. Shipments of both products begin March 1. Click here to read more about the AccuFlow Vortex and AccuFlow HP+ system on Raven's website. Back to news

Illinoisans, if we don't remain on high alert we're going to find ourselves with higher state income taxes.
Again. And the tax-raisers' sales pitch will even make us feel good about it.
In 2011, the General Assembly and Gov. Pat Quinn enacted a "temporary" personal income tax increase, raising the flat 3 percent rate to 5 percent. The corporate rate went from 7.3 percent to 9.5 percent.
These rates are set to expire partially in 2015, when the personal rate would go to 3.75 percent and the corporate rate to 7.75 percent. In 2025, the personal rate would dip to 3.25 percent; the corporate rate back down to 7.3 percent.
The 2011 tax increases extract $7 billion to $8 billion a year from our pocketbooks. You wonder, how did the lawmakers make such an unpopular move in the midst of a recession? Didn't they worry about losing re-election? In a word, no. Illinois was redistricted by Democrats in 2011 to give most of the party's legislators safe seats.
Because of gerrymandering, Democrats have been able to elect veto-proof majorities in both houses of the General Assembly, allowing them to raise taxes and increase spending, which is the Democratic Party's philosophy of government.
Republicans have made the same power grabs in states they control. In both all-GOP and all-Democrat states, the clout of local voters is significantly reduced. In Illinois, 97 percent of incumbents are re-elected.
The tax increase was supposed to help Illinois pay down its debt and to catch up on past-due bills. That didn't happen, says the Tax Foundation in a new report.
"Despite the added revenue from the 2011 tax increases, the state's backlog of unpaid bills grew to $9 billion by 2013 before dropping at the end of the year to $7.6 billion. Additionally, interest payments have more than doubled and the state's credit and economic outlook remains weak. The corporate tax increase has led to several instances of high-profile businesses preparing to move operations out-of-state before the state stepped in to mitigate the increased tax burden with a targeted incentive package," the foundation said.
The state used a lot of the new revenue to increase spending. This is a vicious cycle, because the more taxes are raised, the more people and businesses leave Illinois and the lower our economic rating goes. Until 2011, Illinois' business climate was 17th, which is good for a big, complicated state with a population of 13 million.
Now, Illinois ranks 31st, and if business taxes go up further, that rank will go down to 44th, the foundation says.
The first battle of 2014 will be over extending the 2011 temporary tax increase, either for three or four more years, or indefinitely. That's totally in the hands of lawmakers and the governor. They can do the dirty work in the lame duck months after the November election.
The second battle is over a constitutional amendment needed for the state to pass a graduated income tax. If supporters can get a 60 percent vote in both chambers of the General Assembly, and they get sufficient signatures to put the graduated tax question on the November ballot, voters will have to approve it.
One plan features seven tax brackets and a top rate of 9 percent, the Tax Foundation says, "raising taxes on all income over $18,000."
Supporters of the graduated income believe Illinois does not have a spending problem, it has a lack of revenue. They will try to sell the graduated tax as a "tax on the rich." However, nearly all of us will find that we are "rich," and have to pay higher taxes, without any guarantee of steps being taken to streamline state government.
Many people, including me, believe Illinois has adequate revenue, but can't control spending. And, in Illinois, most workers are not getting raises, meaning whenever taxes are raised, we lose spendable income, causing even more of a drain on the economy.
