But ultimately, what does it say about your franchise player when your fanchise has done nothing but suck? I could see not wanting to trade a true franchise player to a true rival, but Nash and the supposed rivarlry the Jackets claim to have with the Wings don't count imo.
For sure. The last thing a GM is going to do when he's forced to trade his franchise player is trade him to his biggest division rival so he has to see the guy 6 times a year.

When Howeson refused to even reply to a legitimate offer like Holland made it's pretty clear he has zero intention of making a trade. If I make you a lowball offer and you're even remotely interested in trading with me your response will be to make a counter-offer.
As far as Suter and Parise go? The Wings were the only team other than Minny to get a face-to-face meeting with Suter in the days before he signed with the WIld. Holland obviously didn't "low-ball" Suter or he wouldn't have bothered with a face-to-face.
The Wild handcuffed themselves by taking two guys on for huge cap-hits for the next 13 years. They paid well over market for a life-time contract.
If Holland blows his load on Suter AND Parise at that price he'd have a hell of a time re-signing Datsyuk, Filppula, Smith and Nyquist over the next two years.
It's not Holland's job to give antsy Wings fans something to tweet about by signing every big name player each summer while ignoring how it impacts the team's cap situation for the next 13 years. There's a reason why the Wild landed Suter and Parise instead of a legitimate franchise.

Here is a piece on what Holland was thinking when trying to get Nash. I can see why it didn't work. Most of the speculators on here were right on the pieces needed to get Nash.

While shopping in City Market, I stopped for a moment and listened to the canned music. I�ll be darned. They were playing �I Want To Be Sedated� by the Ramones. What does this mean when a seminal punk-rock standard becomes background noise in the dairy aisle? � Val E. Um
�It�s awesome!�
That�s the pronouncement from Durango�s own legendary Ed Stasium, who produced the Ramones� now-classic album �Road to Ruin,� which introduced �I Wanna Be Sedated� to a world not quite ready for punk.
�I had the same reaction to hearing one of my Ramones songs in City Market,� Stasium said. �I�ve heard �Sedated� four or five times while shopping. It�s totally cool.�
Back in the day, the Ramones were counterculture bad boys who played subversive music that stripped rock �n� roll to its bones and turned up the volume to 11.
Ed recalled the inspiration for the song.
�We were wrapping up recording a live album in London, and I flew home on Christmas Eve 1977 with the master tapes. But the band decided to spend Christmas in London,� he recalled.
�Here�s the catch. London totally shuts down for the holidays. So there they were � stuck in a hotel and bored to death. The band just sat around and watched TV. Joey Ramone wanted to get the hell out of there and wrote a song about it.�
Anyway, what does it mean when �I Wanna Be Sedated� becomes Muzak for the consuming masses?
Action Line can think of no better of a tune for grocery shopping.
It�s the perfect soundtrack for south City Market never-ending remodel or north City Market dysfunctional parking lot.
�I Wanna Be Sedated� should be Walmart�s corporate anthem, and the song works equally well at Albertsons, Nature�s Oasis and even Durango Natural Foods � if DNF would see fit to broadcast something other than Grateful Dead jams.
This has been bugging me for months. It�s the City Market/Town Plaza entryway at Ninth Street. Now, that Ninth Street westbound has separate left, straight and right-turn lanes, people should realize they cannot turn into the parking lot from the northbound lane. Hello ... don�t they see the double yellow lines or the three lanes of traffic they�ll have to cross? The other day a driver trying to enter the parking lot honked at me to pull forward so he could turn in. I wanted to roll down my window and point to the double yellow line. Please, inform people that they can no longer turn here. Or am I wrong? Hope not! � Sign me, Don�t Honk
Action Line is bearer of bad news. Your interpretation of the double yellow is incorrect.
According to Colorado�s official Driver Handbook, a double yellow line means drivers cannot pass. However, �crossing the center lane as part of a left-turn maneuver is permitted,� the law said.
The legality was confirmed by Lt. Ray Shupe of the Durango Police Department, who correctly labeled the location �a weird intersection.�
�Yes, you can turn, but I wouldn�t advise it because you will be stuck there for a while.�
While you are sitting there in traffic, Action Line suggests listening to a song.
It�s called �I Wanna Be Sedated� by the Ramones.
Last week�s column prompted more than a few readers to suggest the HAWK intersection be put on the endangered species list:
�I�m so furious about the lighting situation in Durango,� writes Lori Large. �What ever happened to simple green, yellow and red?�
She adds, �Let�s remove all of these blinking Christmas tree lights. We have become so confused and indifferent to flashing lights, I�can�t distinguish between our streetlights and emergency vehicles.�
�So, one pedestrian punches the button to make the light change so that he or she crosses safely � fine,� Anne Markward said.
�But drivers are still supposed to approach the light, stop one at a time as the light flashes, look both ways, then proceed? Sounds like a great way to get rear-ended.�
And loyal reader Jeff Bennett brings up a really good point.
�I wish there had been one more question in Amber Blake�s HAWK traffic light quiz,� he said.
�What do you do when there are two red lights alternately flashing? Answer:�A train is coming. Whatever you do, don�t proceed until the lights stop!�
Perhaps CDOT will need to erect yet a third sign to further explain that a HAWK intersection is not a railroad crossing. Sheesh.
Email questions to email@example.com� or mail them to Action Line, The Durango Herald, 1275 Main Ave., Durango, CO 80301. You can request anonymity if you fill out your request in triplicate along with the Paperwork Reduction Act disclosure.

Wine cellar cooling units, or cellar coolers, are a sure-fire way to provide your wine collection with optimal storage conditions. For many people, their wine collection is an important investment. In order to protect that investment and in order for wine to age properly, enclosures must be properly cooled and retain a certain level of humidity. Any temperature or humidity fluctuation could result in ruined wine. Wine cellar cooling units provide a space with the perfect conditions for proper storing and aging wine.
Different types of cellar coolers are most distinguishable by their application type. They are either split system, ducted, or self-contained. They are also distinguishable by power level, measured in BTUs, which determines what size space the unit can cool.
Cellar coolers are also used for the storage of cigars, furs, or other collections that require specific conditions.
With reliable brands such as Wine-Mate, Breezaire, and CellarPro, you are sure to find the perfect wine cellar cooling unit for your storage needs.

After losing two of three games and one of its best players to season-ending injury, the USC Aiken women's basketball team has righted the ship with back-to-back wins. Ranked No. 6 in the nation for the second week in a row, the Pacers (15-2, 8-2) will look for a third consecutive win tonight when they play host to Flagler College. Tip-off is set for 5:30 p.m. at the Convocation Center.
This is a critical game for USCA, which has a slight half-game advantage over No. 24 Augusta State for first place in the Peach Belt Conference East Division. The area rivals will square off at Christenberry Fieldhouse on Saturday, but the Pacers can't afford to look ahead to that top-25 tilt.
That's because they're hosting the East Division's third-place team tonight. The Saints (7-8, 5-5) are also on a winning streak, prevailing in their past three games and four of five overall. This is a dramatic turnaround for a team that struggled at the start of PBC play, losing four in a row at one point.
It has helped that the four wins have come against some of the weaker teams in the PBC, but at this stage of the season any win in league play is important. The Saints have been more efficient on offense in the wins, shooting at a much higher clip than their season average of 36 percent from the field. In two of the victories, Flagler made more than 50 percent of its field goals.
The Saints are led by Williesha Spencer, who's ninth in the PBC with an average of 15.1 points per game. Although Spencer posted an average of more than 17 points in the recent wins, what distinguished Flagler's success was its balance. In four games, three different players led the team in scoring, with only Spencer posting the top total twice. In the other wins, it got major contributions from Treva Mason and Passhayla Williams – players who emerged from close to nowhere to lead the way.
Mason had a 22 point, 15 rebound performance in one win over Lander while Williams had 14 points and 9 boards in the most recent win over Lander. That's a massive improvement considering Williams has totaled just four points and six rebounds in the three other wins.
Opponents can't overplay one Saint, or try to eliminate one facet of their offense. They're balanced and have also received significant contributions from Jen Knurek, Shelbi Lindsey and Christina Brown.
While Spencer – the team's leading scorer, is a 5-foot-3 guard who dominates the ball, Knurek and Lindsey are a pair of forwards listed at 6-feet and 5-11 respectively. They control the boards and capitalize on scoring opportunities. In the four recent wins, Knurek's averaging a shade less than 15 points and 10 rebounds per game, while Lindsey is contributing a tick below 14 points and 9 rebounds.
What it boils down to is the Pacers will need another dominating defensive performance, much like they've delivered throughout much of the season. Over the stretch of the past five games, two of which were losses, USCA held its opponents below its season average of field goal percentage allowed. For the year, USCA's fourth in the PBC in limiting opponents to slightly better than 37 percent from the field. Other than allowing North Georgia to make 43 percent of its shots in a loss, the Pacers have been tough to score on, holding its past five foes to 36 percent.
The defense doesn't have an off night, even when one Pacer or another might be struggling shooting the ball. Senior guard Daniela Tarailo still leads the team's active players with an average of 15.6 points per game – eighth best in the PBC. She's one of the league's best 3-point shooters but is just as comfortable slashing to the hoop.
Much like tonight's opponent, USCA has looked to involve as many players as possible on offense to compliment Tarailo's steady hand. In Saturday's win over Francis Marion, four USCA players finished with double-figure point totals – led by Mia Antoine's 16 – and eight players factored into the final scorebook. The team with the most contributions and consistency will prevail tonight.

INDUSTRY HILLS, Cal. – Stetson University junior Claudia Redinger enters today's final round of play at the Folino Invitation within two shots of the lead.
Redinger jumped from a tie for 20th after the opening round of play to a tie for third after firing an even-par 71 in the second round of the tournament, which is being hosted by Cal State Fullerton on the Babe Didrikson Course.
Portland State's Aram Choi followed an opening round score of 75 with a 72 on Monday to take a one-shot lead into today's final round of play. Seven players enter play today within three shots of the lead.
Redinger bounced back from some early second round struggles, which produced two bogeys and two double bogeys in the first five holes, to birdie six of the last 11 holes. Her six birdies on Monday has her tied for the overall tournament lead in that category.
Redinger's strong play on the back nine helped the Hatters jump three spots in the team standings entering the final round. Stetson's 308 in the second round moved the Hatters to eighth place in the 12-team field, 25 shots off the overall lead.
Defending champion Gonzaga holds an eight stroke lead over second place UC Riverside entering the final round. Riverside charged into contention on Monday be becoming the first team to break 300 in the event.
In addition to Redinger, three of the other four players for the Hatters posted improved scores in the second round. Jenna Hoecker (82-78=160) and Sammi Smith (83-79=162) both improved by four shots from their opening rounds. Ryan Ashburn (83-80=163) made a three shot improvement. Mallory Viera (81-85=166) struggled during her second round and slipped in the standings.
Today's final round, which will see the Hatters paired with players from Cal Poly and Wyoming, is scheduled for a 10:30 a.m. (ET) shotgun start.
Live scoring for the final round of play will be available on GolfStat.com.

The AFC North champion Baltimore Ravens (12-4) have earned a first-round bye for the first time since the 2006 season. By doing that, it means they will host a playoff game for the first time since the 15-6 loss to the Indianapolis Colts in the divisional round in the playoffs that year.
The Ravens will also try and get their first home win in the playoffs since their Super Bowl championship season. The Ravens then beat the Denver Broncos 21-3 on New Year's Eve in the wild-card round in 2000.
Head coach John Harbaugh is determined to get this team back to the Super Bowl this season more than ever it seems.
Since Harbaugh arrived, the Ravens have never played a home playoff game. One thing they have done though, is actually win their opening game in the playoffs the last three seasons with all coming on the road. The Ravens are currently 4-3 in the playoffs under Harbaugh.
The significance of this is the Ravens are very good at home, and can use their experience in road playoff games as well. Baltimore was a perfect 8-0 at home this season including winners of the last 10 games at M&T Bank Stadium dating back to last season. The Ravens defense has only allowed two opponents to score over 17 points in that span.
The Ravens also are currently 5-0 against the Houston Texans all-time including a 29-14 win in Week 6 this season. Ravens quarterback Joe Flacco went 20-for-33 with 305 yards and an interception. The game was won by Ravens kicker Billy Cundiff who hit five field goals that day.
Don't look at the score though and think it was lopsided. The Texans were in this game all the way up to four minutes left in the game. It was actually 19-14 until the Ravens got a late score. It took the Ravens to step up and score the last 16 points in the game.
Houston was also playing without star players Mario Williams and Andre Johnson. By the end of the season it wouldn't have been significant, but the team relies of these two guys, and they didn't have time to adjust yet.
If Houston wants any shot, which I think they do, they need to get another stellar performance from running back Arian Foster. Foster finished fifth in the league in rushing, and the Texans ranked second in the league in the ground game. Foster led the Texans past Cincinnati last week in the team's first-ever playoff game by rushing for 153 yards and two touchdowns on 24 carries.
He will need to do this again tomorrow to help rookie T.J. Yates manage the game. The Ravens defense ranks second against the rush and third overall, so that matchup will be the key.

The technology is particularly critical to the budding electric car
business. With such companies
as Dyson, GM, and Lightning
Car Company using the batteries in their upcoming commercial releases the
future of the electric car in the short term is riding on lithium-ion
Unfortunately, the costs of lithium-ion batteries are currently quite
high. An analyst estimated that the much-anticipated
Chevy Volt's battery pack would cost nearly
$10,000; about a fourth of the total projected cost. The pressing
demand from a variety of industries has fueled lithium-ion prices to rise even
Fortunately relief is in sight, thanks to a processing breakthrough from University
of Texas at Austin. The researchers found a way to possibly transform the
long and complicated baking process involved in one of the more common
lithium-ion battery materials into a quick and
easy process.
Originally, most lithium-ion batteries used lithium cobalt oxide. Most of
the computer industry still relies on this material; however, the automotive
industry has turned to lithium iron phosphate, which is considered more
attractive as iron is cheaper than cobalt. It is also safer
than the more fire-prone lithium cobalt oxide, and is capable of being
crafted to release charge faster. A downside is it stores slightly less
Companies have invested big in developing and bringing lithium iron phosphate
to the market. A123 Systems, the Watertown, MA startup that is
manufacturing the Chevy Volt's battery, has already commercially offered
lithium iron phosphate batteries for power tools. It has managed to raise
$148M USD in investment capital to help fund its efforts.
With current technology, the biggest downside to the lithium iron phosphate is
the manufacturing. Currently, the process takes hours of baking at
temperatures in excess of 700 °C. The extra manpower and effort required
due to this has meant that Lithium iron phosphate batteries, which should from
a materials perspective be much cheaper than lithium cobalt oxide, are actually
more expensive than their competitor.
Led by Professor Arumugam Manthiram, a U of T professor of materials
engineering, the researchers at U of T examined how a microwave could be used
to speed the cooking process. The results were dramatic.
The team first mixed conventional materials -- lithium hydroxide, iron acetate,
and phosphoric acid -- in a solvent. They then popped the mixture in the
microwave for about five minutes, which heated the mix to about 300 °C.
The process yielded high performing rod shaped nanoparticles of lithium iron
phosphate. The best nanoparticles were found to be approximately 100 nm
long and just 25 nm wide. The small size allows the ion exchange to be
performed more easily. The finished particles were then covered with an
electrically conductive polymer doped with sulfonic acid to improve
The new particles performed extremely well in low-discharge scenarios.
The material achieved a capacity of 166 milliamp hours per gram, amazingly
close to the 170 milliamp hours per gram theoretical capacity. High
discharge scenarios were not so friendly to the new material, but Professor
Manthiram says that will be fixable. He says new versions have already
shown improvement in this metric.
It is unclear exactly how much will be saved using the new method. With
the short time higher production should be possible, and the lower temperatures
will reduce energy demands, both effects that should help to lower the cost of
production. Some are skeptical, though; whether the material will save
much at all. Stanley Whittingham a professor of chemistry, materials
science, and engineering at the State University of New York, at Binghamton
warns that the savings may be offset by the polymer cost and the cost of the
changes necessary to the production.
Professor Manthiram is also exploring other lithium ion materials and has
developed two key improvements on other materials. He is working with an
Austin, TX based startup, ActaCell to commercialize his tech. The startup
has licensed some of his technology with the help of the $5.58M USD in startup
funds in has raised, but declined to specify which technologies or whether the
new lithium iron phosphate production technology had been licensed yet.

On a sunny and clear Veterans Day morning, scores of mourners lined Broadway from Lancaster to the Charles Meyer Funeral Home, waving American flags and paying a final tribute to a soldier from Alden who earned a Bronze Star with "V" device for valor that his family didn't know about until his death.
On the same morning, across the state in the tiny North Country Town of Moriah, townspeople raised flags and adorned trees with yellow ribbons on trees on Route 9N and Main Street to welcome home the body of another hometown hero.
The same sad scene will be repeated yet again Tuesday, this time in Corning along Route 352, for a third soldier who died with the other two in Afghanistan last week.
Sgt. Brett E. Gornewicz, Staff Sgt. Dain T. Venne and Spc. Ryan P. Jayne, all young men in their 20s from across upstate New York, were killed Nov. 3 when their armored personnel carrier struck a roadside bomb. They were patrolling for the explosives in the Paktia province of Afghanistan, located on the border of Pakistan. They are among 286 U.S. military personnel who died in the line of duty in Afghanistan this year.

Gornewicz, 27, probably would have cringed at all the attention his passing has brought, his friends and family said last week as they prepared for his funeralin St. John Catholic Church in Alden at 11 a.m. today.
"He was very private," said his sister, Cassandra Cranston. "He was always like that. Even when I'd ask him, 'Hey, can I get your Army discount on something?' He didn't care about that. He didn't want people to say thank you. That wasn't why he did it."
He did it, she said, because he "thought of it as a job and his duty."
Gornewicz, like Jayne, was a member of the 680th Engineer Company, Army Reserve, based in Canandaigua. They were among a couple dozen soldiers who were temporarily transferred to the 444th Engineer Company in Oswego, which had been called up for deployment. It was Gornewicz's second tour overseas. He served in Iraq from 2007 to 2008. He had recently been promoted to sergeant.
Capt. Karl Waelder, commander of the 680th, said he knew Gornewicz "as a quiet guy."
"Everybody around him knew he was smart and he was a leader," Waelder said. "He just had an quiet air about him. And I guess people trusted him."
After finding out about her brother's death, Cranston flew from North Carolina with Gornewicz's girlfriend. The sister has been sleeping in her brother's old room in their parents' home in Alden, where the walls are still covered with G.I. Joe wallpaper.
Cranston believes her brother's aversion to attention dates back to those days when he was playing with G.I. Joe action figures and dressing up just about every Halloween as an "army guy."
With his red hair and freckles, Gornewicz's cheeks were often pinched by relatives who told him how cute he was.
"He would get so mad," Cranston remembered.
When Gornewicz left for Afghanistan, his co-workers at the Tonawanda company where he worked as a computer-aided designer threw him a farewell ceremony.
"He didn't feel he deserved it," she said.
And when he returned home from Afghanistan in August on R&R, he had his family cancel a reception they wanted to throw for his homecoming.
In a rare moment of openness during that last visit, he told some of his family members about a particularly dangerous situation he had encountered a couple of months earlier.
"From what I remember my brother telling me, they were ambushed," Cranston said. "Bullets were flying. He thought: That was it. From what I understand, he carried somebody out of it and saved his life."
But true to his nature, Gornewicz, who often called home, never told his family that he received the Bronze Star with "V" device in September for what he had done.
"My parents didn't even know about it until he passed," his sister said.
"There's your modesty," said his friend Joe Weisbeck, who served with Gornewicz in Iraq in 2007 and 2008.
He hadn't even heard anything about the firefight.
Weisbeck, who is from Alden but is now a registered nurse at Brooke Army Medical Center in Houston, recalled how he and Gornewicz had grown close after they signed up with the Army Reserve. They both served in the 680th Engineer Company and were deployed to Iraq together.
"We were in the same patrol group," he said.
They were bunkmates and did guard duty shifts together.
"When you're stuck in a cement box for 12 hours, a lot comes out," he said.
They loved more than anything to talk about and share music, particularly country music.
"They were always the ones about God, family and country," Weisbeck said. "He took those messages to heart."
He recalled their harrowing missions clearing hidden bombs from roads.
"They said always remain hypervigilant. Don't get relaxed," Weisbeck said. "But it did become the everyday. You were almost numb to the idea."
On their missions, the patrols headed out on roads and used sophisticated technology – a robotic arm, high-powered cameras – to detect disturbances in the ground.
"We cleared several," he said. "We missed a couple, too ... You can't get them all."
Luckily, the ones they missed in Iraq were poorly made.
"Basically, a lot of accelerant," Weisbeck said. "A flash, more or less."
When they detonate, "there's no warning," Weisbeck said.
"It happens, and then it's over. You recollect, and you assess your posted situation ... Is everybody good? We'd check in. You're good. Vehicles are good. Keep moving."
Gornewicz always handled those situations well.
"He always kept a professional attitude," Weisbeck said. "This is what we're here to do. This is what we're going to do. Might as well put on a happy face."
Weisbeck doesn't know exactly what happened Nov. 3 in Afghanistan.
"I don't want to," he said.
Weisbeck was planning to be back in Western New York for the funeral.
Above all, he wanted Gornewicz remembered as the "modest, humble and genuine" man that he knew his friend to be.
Staff Sgt. Dain T. Venne
The day he was killed, Venne, 29, was supposed to have been back home in Port Henry, a village of just over 1,000 in the Town of Moriah, located on the western shore of Lake Champlain.
"That's the kind of individual he was," said Tom Scozzafava, the town supervisor, who had known Venne since he was a baby. "He gave up his R&R because ... there was a group of young recruits that had just arrived on site. He felt compelled to stay behind and properly train them and attempt to educate them on the duties and responsibilities they were assigned to."
Venne joined the Army Reserve shortly after the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks.
"He decided he wanted to do something about it," Scozzafava said. He was a student at St. Lawrence University at the time.
Venne served one tour in Iraq and was called to duty again last year. He was from the 366th Engineer Company in Canton, another sister company, and was transferred to the 444th.
As a youth, Venne had been a standout athlete, making the 2000 New York All-State Football Team as a running back. As an adult, he coached youth football while working in construction.
He also was a volunteer firefighter who was awarded a commendation medal for saving three campers from floods last year.
His fire chief, James Hughes, recounted what happened that day:
It was the night of Aug. 28, 2011, and Tropical Storm Lee's pounding rains had caused severe flooding in and around Port Henry.
The town's beach and campground were ordered evacuated, but the fire department received word that there were campers stuck in floodwaters.
Firefighters drove toward the beach "only to find out that the bridge that we normally cross was impassable," Hughes said. "It was flooding."
Trees and live wires were down all around them.
Hughes and the other firefighters restaged at a nearby Amtrak station south of the beach area. A captain, lieutenant and Venne put on their cold-water immersion suits, grabbed their ropes and harnesses and made their way to the campgrounds from the railroad tracks.
The firefighters formed a human chain, and Venne waded through chest-deep water to the three victims, who included an elderly woman in severe respiratory distress.
One by one, Venne carried the victims on his shoulders to a rail utility car they found nearby. They were able to bring the car along the tracks to the station.
"He was a perfect gentleman," Hughes said. "A super nice guy. He was the best of the best. You couldn't ask for anyone nicer."
Venne is the first military casualty from the Moriah area since the Vietnam War, his loved ones noted.
Venne's funeral is set for 11 a.m. Tuesday in St. Patrick's Church in Port Henry.
Spc. Ryan P. Jayne
At 22, Jayne was the youngest of the three men.
Jayne was still in basic training when he learned he was headed for Afghanistan, Waelder said.
Jayne was born in Elmira and lived in Pennsylvania before moving to Corning. He graduated from Corning East High School, where he was awarded the Judi McCort Memorial Scholarship for exemplifying courage, hard work, responsibility and dependability.
He was a student at Corning Community College when he signed up with the Army Reserve in September 2010.
Jayne had just come home on leave in October.
His stepfather told a WETM news reporter that Jayne had "found his way" in the Army.
"He was happy. He was really, really happy," his stepfather said. "He was so proud of himself that he was able to serve his country and fight for what he believed was right."
Jayne's funeral will be at 8 p.m. Wednesdayin the auditorium of his alma mater, Corning East High School.

As a child, Adams enjoyed drawing and coloring, then sketching portraits — trying to get the drawing to look real — a proud accomplishment. Later, it was learning tole painting — a whimsical activity she still enjoys. In 2004, Adams joined a group taking oil painting lessons with Gail LeCompte at the Dularge Library. With a few years knowledge under her belt, Adams is beginning to create her style and ideas on paper and canvas.

Springfield shoppers are not alone in paying higher sales taxes for roads, sidewalks and storm sewers this week.
Sales tax increases from a quarter percent to 2 percent took effect Jan. 1 in more than two dozen cities and counties statewide, according to a summary from the Illinois Department of Revenue. The increases resulted from a mix of voter approval and home-rule powers.
In Springfield, a half-cent sales tax increase raises the city rate to 8.5 percent and to 9.5 percent in the Legacy Pointe development, anchored by Scheels. The extra 1 percent in Legacy Pointe goes toward road and other infrastructure improvements for the development at MacArthur Boulevard and Interstate 72.
Springfield, the village of Jerome, Williamsville and Carlinville are among those planning to use the extra money for infrastructure.
�You can defer maintenance, but you can�t defer it very long,� said Illinois Municipal League executive director Larry Frang. �You don�t have to fix every pothole, but it�s better to fix potholes than to tear up entire roads.�
Frang said municipalities hit by recession and uncertain state funding turn to sales taxes to shore up budgets and infrastructure. He said he would not be surprised to see local sales taxes eventually go toward rising pension costs, as well.
�They�re getting eaten alive by pensions,� said Frang. �It might be the only source to come up with the funds.�
While local governments are not required to include proposed use in state filings, Department of Revenue spokeswoman Sue Hofer said revenue from sales tax increases often goes toward roads and other infrastructure, including for economic development.
She said the number of rate changes this year was typical. Hofer said there is a lag time between state collection of the tax from retailers and distribution to local governments. Most jurisdictions should begin receving the added revenue this spring.
Springfield bond sale
The city of Springfield plans to use an estimated $9 million a year generated by the sales tax increase to fund up to $80 million in bond sales for street, sidewalk, storm sewer and other improvements.
City budget director Bill McCarty said the first bond sale later this month will be in the $27 million to $30 million range.
The revenue bonds, a form of local-government borrowing, will be paid off with the increased sales tax revenue. But the bonds are guaranteed by property tax revenue, said McCarty.
�This was framed as being the fairest tax increase,� said McCarty, � because you have folks coming from all over to use our roads. It provides a broader base for revenue collection.�
Mayor Mike Houston said the bonds likely will be divided into three sales, depending on interest rates. Houston said he�s not concerned that the sales tax increase will make the city less competitive.
Page 2 of 2 - �I think we are very competitive,� said Houston. �I don�t know that anybody is going to be noticing it that much.�
Sales taxes also are factored into the price of gasoline in Illinois.
Budgets, high-speed rail
Jerome Village President Mike Lopez said the village expects to begin receiving revenue from a 1 percent increase in March or April. The increase to 7.25 percent is expected to raise $60,000 to $80,000 a year.
�We�re going to put most of it toward infrastructure, street and water repairs,� said Lopez. �We also need to shore up our finances.�
A half-percent increase in Williamsville, to 6.75 percent, will allow the village to catch up on road and other infrastructure improvements, said Village President Tom Yokley. Williamsville also must plan for construction of an overpass included in high-speed rail work between St. Louis and Chicago.
�With high-speed rail coming, we�re going to have to redo the main street,� said Yokley.
Estimated annual revenue was not available, but Yokley said the infrastructure work is long overdue.
�These projects are very expensive,� said Yokley. �They don�t get paid for in one year. It�ll happen over a number of years.�

On Dr. Phil today Dr. Sears and his sons are on and I am just LOVING how awesome they are!
So far they've given their medical opinion that you should breastfeed after 1 year, bring your baby to bed with you (and they noted that recent studies show SIDS is reduced when baby is brought into the same room as mom & dad), and also to follow your motherly instinct and respond to your baby's cries!
Co-sleeping is a tender issue with some folks and Dr. Sears does recommend that you do whatever gets everyone the best night's sleep, including baby. For us, that's co-sleeping and I love it.

Dorchester County Council is getting more serious about a local option sales tax.
The appeal? It really and truly isn't a tax increase, say council members. Really.
It's a tax shift.
That's because most, if not all, of the tax would go toward lowering property taxes.
And because Berkeley and Charleston both have the local option sales tax, every time you shop at Home Depot or Target you're paying the tax and lowering property taxes in Dorchester's neighbor counties, council members said.
"It's like putting a deck on your neighbor's house," said County Auditor J.J. Messervy, who was tasked with presenting the ins and outs of the tax to council during a budget workshop Thursday.
By state law, 71 percent of the tax must go toward property tax relief. The remaining 29 percent can go toward property tax relief or capital projects.
The law also dictates how the tax revenues are split between the county and its municipalities.
Further, 5 percent of anything collected over $5 million goes into a state fund, which is then distributed to low-collection counties because any county that opts for the tax is guaranteed at least $2 million in revenues.
Dorchester County would likely be in the "donor" category.
Messervy said the estimates for Dorchester County were last calculated several years ago, so the figures he presented council were used for discussion only.
Nonetheless, the old figures show Dorchester collecting about $9 million through the local option sales tax.
Figuring how much each property owner would benefit gets more complicated. First, the credits are recalculated each year as the tax revenues and the assessed value in the county fluctuate.
Secondly, property owners in some of the smaller municipalities would get more benefit than property owners in the larger municipalities, where the credit would have to be distributed over a greater tax base.
But those old estimates show that, for every $100,000 of value, each piece of property in the county would see about $50 in property tax rolled back.
Property in Summerville and North Charleston could get an additional $70 or so rolled back per $100,000.
The credit is based on assessed value, and the amount is the same whether the property is residential, commercial or industrial.
Ridgeville would be a big winner. With the prison boosting its population – one of the variables in how much money each municipality gets – and a low assessed value for property in town, properties could get a credit of $300 per $100,000 in value.
Councilman Jay Byars said North Charleston Mayor Keith Summey has contrasted his constituents who live in Charleston against those who live in Dorchester.
North Charlestonians in Charleston get the property tax credit; North Charlestonians in Dorchester don't.
The same contrast can be made between Summervillians who live in Berkeley or Charleston counties and those who live in Dorchester County.
The county might underestimate the credit for the first few years as the program gets under way, Messervy said. However, it would have to go back and return that money to taxpayers once final figures are in.
"There's no windfall that you can take under any circumstances," he said.
If county council decides to proceed, the final decision will be up to voters.
The question would go on the November ballot, with the exact usage of the tax spelled out.

Patch: 144 cats surrendered in hoarding case
UPDATED 3:24 PM CDT Mar 20, 2013
According to the Waukesha Patch, The Humane Animal Welfare Society in Waukesha County is now the temporary home to 50 cats that were among 144 surrendered in a hoarding case.
The shelter is seeking help placing the cats and donations of food and litter for the pets, as well as financial assistance for antibiotics and surgery. The shelter is "treating all those we feel we can help," Executive Director Lynn Olenik said in a news release.
"Most of the cats were ill and suffering, and living in deplorable conditions," she said.

Help for animals displaced by West explosion…
Dallas' oldest and largest "no-kill" animal shelter is working to help pets displaced by the West Fertilizer Co. explosion that killed 14 people last week.
"The Humane Society of Central Texas has asked us to take in as many dogs as we can from the Waco City Shelter, since Waco is just south of West," Sandi Laird, animal care director of Operation Kindness, said in a statement. "This will give the city shelter more space to house and care for animals that have been displaced by the explosion."
"Foster parents" are helping make space for West's displaced animals.
"Operation Kindness is calling on its foster families to help relieve the overcrowding in our shelter, so we can make room to help with the West tragedy," said Peggy Marshall, interim executive director for Operation Kindness.

Solution Description
Pharmaceutical companies are adjusting to a shift in the business model of research and development (R&D). Cost pressures brought on by mergers and acquisitions are forcing R&D departments to become more agile and cost-effective. However, the legacy model of conducting research and structuring research IT has left them unable to combine decades of clinical data with current molecular and genomic data.
The rigidity of these environments prevents organizations from getting a centralized view of research data. They also struggle to move large data files (greater than a terabyte) between researchers.
These inflexible environments are also significantly more costly than cloud-based, high-performance computing environments. The inability to share, mine, and manage research data in a secure, agile manner increases discovery time and hinders breakthroughs.
Technology Solution
EMC believes you can reduce the time and cost of new drug submissions by analyzing translational, medical big data. By efficiently structuring their research environments, pharmaceutical companies can research new treatment protocols by using private and public biomarker data to direct research investment.
The key to structuring an efficient research environment is understanding the requisite roadmap and supporting technologies. You can use EMC Consulting big data advisory services to determine how your researchers can best derive insights from clinical data and how you can deploy cloud-enabled, high-performance computing environments to improve flexibility and agility.
With EMC Clinical Data Analytics Solutions, you can get an assessment of the current data warehouse environment and document the impact from big data with EMC's broad suite of consulting expertise, services, and capabilities. Our experts in data warehousing, business intelligence, analytics, master data management (MDM), data governance, data quality, and security enable pharmaceutical R&D departments to break down silos and maximize the value in your clinical data pools.
