Currently, out-of-state businesses can reduce their California income taxes by not locating facilities or employees within the state.[10] If passed, Proposition 39 would add possibly $1 billion to the state's revenue and create approximately 40,000 construction and clean energy jobs, according to the non-partisan California Legislative Analyst's Office.[11][3][4][12]
Initially, this extra revenue would fund green energy projects, construction projects, public schools, and boost the state's general fund. [7][5] Public support for the measure is high, according to opinion polls.[13]
Supporters of Proposition 39 assert that it will close a tax "loophole" that currently rewards out-of-state companies for taking jobs out of California and, for tax purposes, treats out-of-state companies the way California-based companies are treated. [8][13][4][14][15] Opponents argue that Proposition 39 is a tax increase. [8][16]
Beacon Economics, an independent economic research firm, released a study on Proposition 39 which argues that the initiative, if passed, will level the tax playing field in California by limiting tax liability incentives for out-of-state businesses.[17]
Similar laws have been passed in New Jersey, Illinois, and Texas.[12][18] New Jersey Republican Governor Chris Christie said, "moving to a single sales factor removes a barrier to firms seeking to locate and grow their business and jobs in New Jersey, while also helping retain companies with headquarters in the state."[18]
John Perez of the California State Assembly is sponsoring very similar legislation. The California State Assembly passed it in early August and it has been sent to the California State Senate. If they pass it, and Jerry Brown signs it, Proposition 39 will essentially become moot. Its supporters have said they would stop actively campaigning for Proposition 39, in that event.[19]
The primary financial backer of Proposition 39 is Thomas Steyer,[20] who played a lead role in designing the initiative.[21]
If approved, Proposition 39 will:
- Require out-of-state businesses to calculate their California income tax liability based on the percentage of their sales in California.
- Repeal an existing law that gives out-of-state businesses an option to choose a tax liability formula that provides favorable tax treatment for businesses with property and payroll outside California.
- Dedicate $550 million annually for five years from the initiative's anticipated increase in revenue in order to fund projects that "create energy efficiency and clean energy jobs" in California.
Text of measure
Fiscal impact
(This is a summary of the initiative's estimated "fiscal impact on state and local government" prepared by the California Legislative Analyst's Office and the Director of Finance.)
History of the ballot initiative
In 2009, California state legislators approved a balanced budget that included an option for how out-of-state companies calculated their tax bill.[11][22] Companies could choose the "three-factor" method or the "single-sales factor" method.[7] The single-sales factor uses in-state sales alone to determine a company's tax obligation. [4] With the three-factor method, companies use a combination of sales, employees, and property to calculate their taxes. [4] For out-of-state companies with no physical presence in the state, the three-factor method offers a large savings. Thus, out-of-state businesses overwhelmingly choose the three-factor method.[23]
The measure now known as Proposition 39 qualified for the November ballot on June 20, 2012.[24] San Francisco-based philanthropist, businessman, and signer of the Giving Pledge, Tom Steyer conceived the measure.[24] He is also the main financial backer. [3][13][7] Steyer is co-chair of the Californians for Clean Energy & Jobs group, which has launched a campaign in favor of Proposition 39.[25]
State legislator John Pérez introduced Assembly Bill 1500 during the most recent session.[3] The bill had the same intent as Proposition 39, but it failed to gain traction among Senate Republicans.[13][3]
Supporters of Proposition 39 have launched a vigorous campaign, while opponents have been relatively low key.[6]
Campaign funding and spending
Steyer, founder of Farallon Capital and One Pacific Community Bank, has contributed $21.9 million to the "Yes on 39" campaign. [9] In 2010, Steyer co-chaired the effort to beat Proposition 23, a ballot initiative to overturn California's climate change laws.[26] Californians for Clean Energy & Jobs has added $1.1 million.[9] Other financial contributors to the initiative include the League of Conservative Voters and the Western States Council of Sheet Metal Workers PAC.[9][4]
Thomas Steyer, the founder and co-senior managing partner of Farallon Capital Management, supports Proposition 39. He says, "We have a loophole. It is worth over $1 billion a year. We should close the loophole, and that is what we are doing."[20]
Several California-based companies have voiced support for changes to corporate tax law, including Disney, Cisco, Qualcomm, and Amgen.[27] These companies argue that current law gives out-of-state companies an unfair advantage.[27][8]
The California Teachers Association also supports the measure, as much of the extra funding would go toward education. [13] Atlas Project Support, a green energy firm, said that the measure would greatly increase its business. [13] Genentech, a California-based biotech firm, has expressed support for Proposition 39. [7] Executive Andrea Jackson explained that the company recently built a $450 million facility in Oregon to take advantage of the three-factor method. [7] She stated that the company would rather keep all of its assets in-state. [7]
The San Francisco Chamber of Commerce,[28] former U.S. Secretary of State to Ronald Reagan, George Schultz,[29] The Sacramento Bee,[15] the San Jose Mercury News[30], California State Assembly Speaker John Perez,[31] the California Labor Federation,[32] and California State Senate President pro Tem Darrell Steinberg,[33] had endorsed the initiative.
On September 26, 2012, the California Democratic Party Chairman, John Burton, announced his endorsement of Proposition 39. Other recent endorsements of the initiative include: "the San Francisco Chamber of Commerce, California Nurses Association, American Lung Association - California, CA NOW, California Alliance for Retired Americans, California Church IMPACT, Latin Business Association, California Labor Federation, CleanTECH San Diego, Los Angeles/Orange Counties Building & Construction Trades Council, Sacramento Bee, San Jose Mercury News, Los Angeles Business Council, California Community College Trustees, and the California League of Conservation Voters."[34]
As of October 1st, 2012, General Motors, International Paper, Kimberly Clark, Chrysler and Proctor & Gamble will not oppose Proposition 39 any further.[7]
The arguments in favor of Proposition 39 in the state's official voter guide were submitted by:
- Jane Warner. Warner is the president of the American Lung Association in California.
- Thomas Steyer.
- Mary Leslie. Leslie is the president of the Los Angeles Business Council.
- Alan Joseph Bankman. Bankman is a professor of tax law at Stanford Law School.
- Ruben Guerra. Guerra is the CEO of the Latin Business Association.
- Jane Skeeter. Skeeter is a small business owner in California.
Arguments in favor
The arguments presented in favor of Proposition 39 in the state's official voter guide include:
- "At the end of the 2009 budget negotiations in Sacramento, in the middle of the night, legislators and lobbyists for out-of-state corporations made a deal—with no public hearings and no debate. They put a loophole into state law that allows out-of-state corporations to manipulate our tax system every single year, and avoid paying their fair share to California. The cost of this loophole: $1 billion per year in lost revenues for California."
- "Prop. 39 simply closes this loophole. It ends this manipulation of our tax system—and requires that all corporations doing business in California pay taxes determined by their sales here, no matter where they are based."
- "Prop. 39 levels the playing field, ensuring that out-of-state companies play by the same rules as California employers."
- "The current tax loophole lets corporations pay less tax to California if they have fewer employees here—giving companies a reason to send jobs out of state. In fact, the state's nonpartisan, independent Legislative Analyst has cited studies showing that the tax policy in Prop. 39 will bring California as many as 40,000 jobs. That's why the independent Legislative Analyst has called for eliminating the present loophole."
- "Multistate corporations that provide few jobs here are using the loophole to avoid paying their fair share to California, costing the state $1 billion per year in lost revenues. Prop. 39 will clovitally-needed revenues for public services. Because almost half of all new revenue is legally required to go to education, hundreds of millions of dollars per year will be dedicated to schools. Additionally, Prop. 39 will create savings for taxpayers. 39 will use a portion of the revenues from closing the loophole to fund energy efficiency projects at schools and other public buildings. Using proven energy efficiency measures like improving insulation, replacing leaky windows and roofs and adding small-scale solar panel installations will reduce state energy costs—freeing up dollars for essential services like education, police, and fire."
- "Prop. 39 contains tough financial accountability provisions —including independent annual audits, ongoing review and evaluation by a Citizens Oversight Board, a complete accounting of all funds and expenditures, and full public disclosure."

|Californians for Clean Energy and Jobs
|League of Conservation Voters
Opponents of the measure argue that California already has an unfriendly business climate. According to the Tax Foundation, California's business tax climate ranks 48th in the nation.
Several major corporations benefit from the current law, including General Motors, International Paper, Kimberley-Clark, and Chrysler. [3] Since 2006, these companies have earned $42.4 million in state contracts. [3] These four companies vocally opposed Assembly Bill 1500, and they equally oppose Proposition 39. [3] In September 2012, Proctor & Gamble and Chrysler both announced they wouldn't oppose Proposition 39.[36][37]
The lobbyist group California Employers against Higher Taxes has also opposed the measure. [3] Opponents claim that Proposition 39 will add more bureaucracy to California government and discourage businesses from contributing to the economy through job creation. [8] They also claim that the three-factor method has been on the books since 1966 with no ill effects. [16] The Carpinteria Valley Chamber of Commerce, The Simi Valley Chamber of Commerce, the Oxnard Chamber of Commerce, and the United Chambers of Commerce all oppose Proposition 39.[29]
The arguments against Proposition 39 in the state's official voter guide were submitted by:
- Jack Stewart. Stewart is the president of the California Manufacturers & Technology Association.
- Lew Uhler. Uhler is the president of the National Tax Limitation Committee.
- Pat Kong Kushida. Kushida is the president of the California Asian Pacific Chamber of Commerce.
- Mike Spence. Spence is the president of the California Taxpayer Protection Committee.
- Robert Ming. Ming is the chairman of Friends for Saving California Jobs.
- Jack Stewart. Stewart is the president of California Manufacturers & Technology Association.
Other opponents include:
- Peter DeMarco, a spokesperson for a coalition of businesses that oppose the initiative, said that if approved, Proposition 39 is "going to drive workers and jobs out of California."[38]
The "Yes on 39" campaign ran a full-page ad in the Sacramento Bee the last week of July 2012 asking four companies who had indicated their opposition to Proposition 39 to back off and pledge not to oppose Proposition 39. The four companies identified in the advertisement were Chrysler, General Motors, Kimberly-Clark and International Paper.[40]
Arguments against
The arguments in opposition to Proposition 39 presented in the state's official voter guide include:
- "Proposition 39 is a massive $1 billion tax increase on California job creators that will result in the loss of thousands of middle class jobs. California's unemployment rate is already third worst in the country at nearly 11%. Prop. 39 makes our problems worse."
- "Proposition 39 is a recipe for waste and corruption. It spends up to $22 million on a new bureaucracy and special interest commission. It gives Sacramento politicians a blank check to spend billions without real accountability or taxpayer protections against conflicts of interest."
- "Here are the facts: a billionaire who CNN called 'California's Hedge Fund King' is bankrolling 39, spending $20 million to influence your vote and buy the election. His political consultants use terms like 'closing a loophole' but don't believe them. Prop. 39 is politics at its worst. California needs reform, not more taxes and wasteful spending."
- "$2.5 billion that could go to schools, health and welfare, environmental protection or public safety is instead diverted to a new government commission with fat salaries and little accountability. Our state budget deficit today is nearly $16 billion and Prop. 39 makes things worse by wasting money on a new unnecessary bureaucracy. California needs teachers and police officers, not more bureaucrats!"
- "Manufacturing jobs that provide for families are vanishing. Almost two million hard-working Californians are struggling to find any kind of work. The $1 billion Prop. 39 tax increase changes tax laws that have been in effect for more than 40 years and will cost more union and non-union workers their jobs."
- "You've heard it before. Sacramento has a plan to create jobs. We give them money to create a commission of political appointees with an appealing name like Citizens Oversight Board. They get a blank check to spend (or waste) tax dollars. Under Prop. 39, money is spent to give contracts to so-called 'Green Energy' programs. Who is likely to get those contracts? Big campaign contributors, that's who."
- "California needs reform, not tax increases that eliminate middle class jobs. Prop. 39 raises taxes by $1 billion on California job creators to help fund more government bureaucracy and more bloated pensions. It doesn't protect against ongoing state budget deficits, high nemployment and continued economic recession. Remember, a billionaire with an agenda is bankrolling 39. It's up to voters to protect California taxpayers. By voting NO on Prop. 39, you will stop a job-killing $1 billion tax increase on California job creators. You will support middle class California jobs that provide for families and sustain our economy. And you'll tell Sacramento politicians no more blank checks for more special interest spending on bloated government and pensions."
|Total campaign cash
- As of October 2, 2012, no campaign committees in opposition to Proposition 39 have registered with election officials.
- A Stop 39 website was registered with GoDaddy on July 18, 2012. This presumably entailed the expenditure of a small amount of money. However, the identity of the organization or individual who registered the URL is unavailable, since they used "Domains by Proxy" to shield their identity.
- As of October 2, 2012, visitors to the Stop 39 website see no content, other than the phrase, "This site is under construction."
Editorial opinion
"Yes on 39"
- The Bakersfield Californian is in support of the initiative, stating that, "It's time to fix a bad tax policy, created three years ago by the California Legislature, once and for all."[41]
- The Contra Costa Times favors Proposition 39. They write, "State lawmakers have refused to correct the mistake they made in 2009 when, in a late-night budget session, they created a tax incentive for companies to locate outside California. Voters need to fix it for them on Nov. 6 by voting for Proposition 39."[42]
- The Daily Democrat (Woodland, California): "Vote yes on this initiative to end a system that lets out-of-state corporations choose their methods of taxation."[43]
- The Fresno Bee endorsed Proposition 39 on October 1st, 2012. They wrote, "If it's approved, the initiative would generate $1 billion a year."[44]
- The Los Angeles Times has endorsed Proposition 39. In a September 27, 2012 opinion piece, they wrote that, "Proposition 39, would raise an estimated $1 billion a year, about half of which would be dedicated temporarily to making public buildings more energy efficient."[21]
- The Marin Independent Journal: "This measure needs to be on the ballot because the state Legislature has refused to close a business tax loophole it approved in a late-night budget decision in 2009."[45]
- The Merced Sun-Star: "The initiative on the Nov. 6 ballot would close a $1 billion corporate tax loophole, one that legislators are incapable of shutting because they are beholden to outside influences."[46]
- The Modesto Bee favors Proposition 39, writing, "Proposition 39 shows how direct democracy should work."[47]
- The Oakland Tribune formally endorsed Proposition 39, writing "Prop. 39 will help keep businesses here."[48]
- The Press-Enterprise: "California has no need for a tax break that puts the state at an economic disadvantage."[49]
- The Redding Record Searchlight has endorsed Proposition 39, writing, "[Proposition 39] ends a billion-dollar giveaway to out-of-state corporations."[50]
- The Sacramento Bee has endorsed Proposition 39. The newspaper advocated that voters approve the measure, writing, "Essentially, out-of-state corporations such as cigarette maker Altria gained the privilege to determine which of two methods of taxation allowed them to pay the least in state taxes, and they are allowed to toggle back and forth each year so as to gain the greatest benefit,... Proposition 39 shows how direct democracy should work."[14]
- The San Diego Free Press has announced support for Proposition 39. They wrote that, "Proposition 39 would eliminate the ability of companies to choose between two methods to calculate their taxable income in California and require them to use sales only for the calculation."[51]
- The San Francisco Bay Guardian: "It's more fair, it creates the right incentives to keep jobs and equipment in the state, and it cuts a hole in the deficit."[52]
- The San Jose Mercury News endorsed Proposition 39, writing, "State lawmakers have so far refused to correct the mistake they made in 2009 when, in a late-night budget session, they created a tax incentive for companies to locate outside California. Voters will be able to fix it for them Nov. 6 by voting yes on Proposition 39."[53]
- The Santa Cruz Sentinel: "Ballot-budgeting? Yes. But as it stands, Steyer's Prop. 39 revenue would help create jobs while also cutting down on energy use and greenhouse gas emissions at public buildings -- and the revenue directed toward these causes is limited to five years. More importantly, the tax loophole is egregious and only encourages multistate companies doing business in California to create jobs outside the state."[54]
"No on 39"
- The editorial board of the Appeal-Democrat opposes Proposition 39, writing, "Steyer said the initiative would create green jobs. But taxes kill jobs by sucking money out of the private sector. Similar green-jobs claims were made about Assembly Bill 32, the Global Warming Solutions Act of 2006, by Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger. But A.B. 32 didn't prevent state unemployment from soaring well above the national rate. California's real employment problem is not a lack of green jobs, but the state's severe anti-jobs climate, to which A.B. 32 and the specter of Steyer's initiative contribute."[55]
- The Bay Area Reporter: "We agree that this is a loophole in the state tax code that should be eliminated. However, this proposition then mandates that the increased revenue, estimated at up to $1 billion annually, be earmarked for specific energy and education programs. This is ballot box budgeting, and we oppose it. It is the role of the legislature to determine the most effective use of revenues, particularly in these hard times of competing priorities. This is a loophole that needs to be closed, but this proposition brings too much other baggage."[56]
- The Long Beach Press-Telegram: "Proposition 39 is a mixed bag - like so many of the initiatives that appear on California's ballots - that should be rejected. At its core is a sound idea: changing the way multistate corporations are taxed in order to remove a perverse incentive against locating operations in California. But the measure has two big problems: One, it's yet another example of ballot-box budgeting, directing half the revenue that would be generated into niche projects instead of into the general fund; and two, it goes back on a budget deal that the Legislature made three years ago."[57]
- The Los Angeles Daily News: "...the measure has two big problems: One, it's yet another example of ballot-box budgeting, directing half the revenue that would be generated into niche projects instead of into the general fund; and two, it goes back on a budget deal that the Legislature made three years ago."[58]
- The Orange County Register: "Prop. 39 ultimately would punish companies with higher taxes and consequently their customers with higher prices, while discouraging hiring in California. We suspect a substantial motive behind the initiative, which largely was funded by a private equity fund partner with clean energy investments, is to extract more taxes, and to use much of the additional money to reward favored projects."[59]
- The Pasadena Star-News opposed Proposition 39, writing that, "PROPOSITION 39 is a mixed bag - like so many of the initiatives that appear on California's ballots - that should be rejected."[60]
- The San Bernadino Sun opposed the initiative, writing, "Of the $1 billion or so in additional tax revenue that change would produce, Proposition 39 directs half into energy efficiency and alternative energy projects for four years."[61]
- The San Diego Union-Tribune opposes Proposition 39, writing, "Proposition 39 targets this same loophole. But instead of using the extra revenue to help small business and spur the struggling economy, the measure would devote half the new revenue, up to $550 million, to alternative energy and energy efficiency projects. These areas are already getting billions of dollars in federal funding, sometimes with horrible track records. We much prefer Fletcher's approach – or the simplest idea of all: just putting all the money back in the general fund, not half of it."[62]
- The San Francisco Chronicle opposed the initiative in a September editorial, stating that, "Proposition 39, which would direct about half of the extra $1 billion in annual revenue to energy-efficient projects, corrupts a very good idea (tax reform) with a very bad one (ballot-box budgeting)."[63]
- The San Gabriel Valley Tribune: "California can't stand any more ballot-box budgeting that squirrels away money for a single purpose favored by an initiative's proponents - in this case a hedge-fund billionaire. Proposition 39 creates the Clean Energy Job Creation Fund, another otherwise untouchable pot of money like the First 5 and mental health funds that past initiatives have given us. The purposes are good, but they should be weighed against other priorities like education and care for the indigent and elderly."[64]
- The Ventura County Star opposed Proposition 39, stating, "Supporters of Proposition 39 may have had good intentions, but this initiative on the Nov. 6 ballot doesn't measure up to reasonable expectations. The Star recommends a no vote."[65]

- Base I/O hardware for dSPACE Simulator
- Ideally suited to all kinds of hardware-in-the-loop simulation
- Ideally suited for engine, powertrain and vehicle dynamics applications
- Simulates and measures all engine signals (for up to 8 cylinders, cascadable for higher cylinder counts)
- Signal conditioning for signal levels of 12 V, 24 V and 48 V automotive systems
- Supports 2-voltage systems
Key Benefits
The DS2211 HIL I/O Board is the central I/O board for hardware-in-the-loop simulation, especially in the field of automotive electronics. The DS2211 HIL I/O Board is tailored to the simulation and measurement of automotive signals, particularly for engine and vehicle dynamics applications, and combines a variety of typical HIL I/O signals on one board. The board contains signal conditioning for typical signal levels of 12 V, 24 V and 48 V automotive systems and supports 2-voltage systems.
Building an HIL Simulator
Together with a processor board (DS1005, DS1006 or DS1007), the DS2211 HIL I/O Board constitutes the hardware core of dSPACE Simulator. The processor board performs the calculation of the real-time model, for example, of an engine, while the DS2211 measures and stimulates all the required I/O signals. The simulator can be expanded from 8 cylinders up to 96 cylinders by using two or more DS2211 HIL I/O Boards.
Angular Processing UnitThe DS2211 HIL I/O Board features a unique angular processing unit which supports high-speed generation and measurement of crank angle-related signals to simulate engines up to 29,000 rpm
Angle-Synchronous CascadingFor tougher I/O requirements, several boards, for example, several DS2211s, can be cascaded. The boards operate angle-synchronously if their time base connectors are connected. One DS2211 board acts as the angle master, and the other boards read out its time base, which allows signals to be generated and measured angle-synchronously on several boards. The same applies to the DS4002 Timing and Digital I/O Board and the DS5001 Digital Waveform Capture Board, which can both also be connected to the time base.

The Long-Term Care (LTC) Best Practices Coordinator role was introduced to the LTC sector as a pilot project funded by the Nursing Secretariat in 2005. Many successes in LTC Homes have been achieved through this project, including improved quality of care for residents and the facilitation of an evidence-based practice culture by front-line staff through the implementation of best practice guidelines (BPGs).
The Registered Nurses' Association of Ontario is funded through the Ontario Ministry of Health and Long Term Care (MOHLTC), Mental Health and Additions Branch to implement the Mental Health and Addictions Initiative.
Bringing the best knowledge to nursing and healthcare: Enhancing practice and improving health and system outcomes.
The NBPRC is a unique collaboration between researchers and educators at the University of Ottawa and an active grassroots professional association, the Registered Nurses' Association of Ontario.
In Canada, tobacco use is the leading preventable cause of premature death, disease and disability. Evidence suggests that even minimal intervention by health-care professionals can dramatically reduce rates of smoking.
The goal of the RNAO Smoking Cessation Initiative is to strengthen nurses' capacity to help their clients by implementing smoking cessation strategies and techniques in their daily practice.

Thanksgiving is literally right around the corner and I'm so excited about this epic Thanksgiving round up of Everyday Paleo favorites as well as two never before seen recipes thanks to our wonderful Rachel Zanger! To begin the feast, Thanksgiving wouldn't be Thanksgiving without "The Bird". I'm not a huge fan of turkey, but my Herbed Turkey Breast with Prosciutto is so darn good that my mouth waters just thinking of it! Of course, life is not complete without a delicious stuffing and we love this stuffing recipe so much that we eat it all year; not just for the Holidays. You can also find my stuffing recipe in the beloved Everyday Paleo Family Cookbook!! Next please enjoy my Cranberry Sauce recipe; the classic with a twist (and not a gallon of sugar)… Also, the most amazingly delicious thing you just might have on feast day; we introduce to you Rachel's Butternut Squash and Sweet Potato Gratin!! In this recipe she uses my Béchamel Sauce recipe from Everyday Paleo Around the World Italian Cuisine; a recipe I vowed to keep secret unless you purchased the book, a sauce so good that when I first made it my world was forever changed, a recipe that makes grown men cry with joy, and children beg for seconds. In other words, the magic of the Béchamel with Rachel's genius twist on the classic potatoes gratin is utterly delightful, and because it's a season of giving, we give the gift of this recipe to you!
Not to minimize dessert because being thankful typically includes a treat or two so to finish we have two grain free pies; my classic pumpkin pie and a brand new apple pie recipe brought to you by Rachel.
So my dear readers, the Fragoso family, the Zanger family, and all of us here at Everyday Paleo want to wish you all a very happy Thanksgiving! We are incredibly grateful and thankful for YOU so from the bottom of our hearts, as always, we hope you enjoy!!

Summer time brings with it an opportunity to buy local produce and we are fortunate to have an easy way to do that each week without having to drive around the county.
All we have to do is show up on Wednesdays or Saturdays at the Union County-New Albany Farmer's Market.
On Saturdays throughout the summer, locally produced goods are available from 6:30 a.m. to 10:30 a.m. on Court Street between Regions Bank and the Union County Courthouse.
On Wednesday mornings, the market operates during the same hours at the Union County Fairgrounds Arena.
"Everything will be locally grown in Union County and surrounding counties," said Tim Burress, market manager. "There will be no resale stuff."
Burress said a half dozen local growers actively participate in the market and he hopes to add more, as well as local producers of baked goods, jams and jellies.
All kinds of produce are available, including squash, cucumbers, bell peppers, tomatoes, jalapeno peppers, cabbage, sweet corn and green beans, he said.
Cut flowers also are available, Burress said..
The market is a project of the Mississippi State Extension Service and the Union County Master Gardeners.
The gardeners also will present demonstrations at the market beginning early next month.
It's important to support our local Farmer's Market and our local growers. They provide the freshest produce at reasonable prices.
See you at the market.

Family adventure vacations are double the fun with our adventure trips to Grand Teton and Yellowstone. These national parks are wonderful playgrounds for the young and old alike. Antelope Flats is great area to bike with family. The flat land makes it easy to bike leisurely while taking in the scenic views of the Teton mountain range.
While there, you'll observe bison and antelopes grazing the fields. Hiking vacations really add to the adventure, and with plenty of trails to choose from, Grand Teton National Park makes a six day vacation way too short. The Jackson Lake area also offers trails for different levels of experience. All trails have scenic routes so everyone will have an enjoyable time. Those who enjoy water based activities will definitely want to try kayaking in the calm waters of Jackson Lake. Adventure seekers can conquer the rapids of the Snake River. And after a full day of being on the water, relieve your tired muscles at the Teton Mountain Lodge Spa.
While on this vacation in the Wyoming area, you'll also want to take some time to explore Yellowstone Park. Hiking trails lead to Storm Point where kids will enjoy spotting marmots and other forest critters may lurking amidst forest trees and the grasslands. Rocky promontories overlook Yellowstone Lake, and a visit to the Grand Prismatic Spring will enthrall everyone with its vivid colors.
Have a wonderful Wyoming trip with the family by reviewing our adventure vacation packages available in our online travel catalog.

shows how Groovy may be used to simplify unit testing
The Groovy Advantage
Groovy simplifies JUnit testing, making it more Groovy, in several ways, including:
- JUnit is built into the groovy runtime, so you can script JUnit tests for your Groovy and Java classes using Groovy syntax.
- Groovy provides many additional JUnit assertion statements (see below)
- Groovy unit tests are easily scriptable with Ant / Maven (see below)
- Groovy provides Groovy Mocks
See also:
To write unit tests in Groovy, you have to create a class extending groovy.util.GroovyTestCase.
|Code Block
import groovy.util.GroovyTestCase class MyTest extends GroovyTestCase { void testSomething() { assert 1 == 1 assert 2 + 2 == 4 : "We're in trouble, arithmetic is broken" } }
Groovy Test Assertions
Apart from the default assertion methods inherited from the JUnit framework's TestCase class, GroovyTestCase also offers additional test assertions:
- assertArrayEquals(Object[] expected, Object[] value)
- assertLength(int length, char[] array)
- assertLength(int length, int[] array)
- assertLength(int length, Object[] array)
- assertContains(char expected, char[] array)
- assertContains(int expected, int[] array)
- assertToString(Object value, String expected)
- assertInspect(Object value, String expected)
- assertScript(final String script) // assert that a script runs without exceptions
- shouldFail(Closure code) // assert that an exception was thrown in that closure
- shouldFail(Class clazz, Closure code) // the same but for a class
By default Groovy unit test cases generate java bytecode and so are just the same as any other Java unit test cases. One thing to watch is often Ant / Maven look for *.java files to find unit tests with pattern matching, rather than *.class files.
There's an option in Maven to ensure you search for classes (and so find any Groovy unit test cases) via this property
|Code Block
maven.test.search.classdir = true
Once you've got this enabled you can use Maven goals to run individual test cases like this
|Code Block
maven test:single -Dtestcase=foo.MyGroovyTest
Running GroovyTestCases on the command-line
Since beta-6, you can also run your groovy tests (extending GroovyTestCase) on the command-line. It has simple as launching any other Groovy script or class:
|Code Block
groovy MyTest.groovy
Running GroovyTestCases in IDEs
Most IDEs support JUnit but maybe don't yet handle Groovy shame! .
Firstly if you compile the groovy code to bytecode, then it'll just work in any JUnit IDE just fine.
Sometimes though you want to just hack the unit test script and run from in your IDE without doing a build.
If you're IDE doesn't automatically recompile Groovy for you then there's a utility to help you run Groovy unit test cases inside any JUnit IDE without needing to run your Ant / Maven build.
The GroovyTestSuite class is a JUnit TestSuite which will compile and run a GroovyUnit test case
from a command line argument (when run as an application) or from the _test_ system property when run as a JUnit test suite.
To run the GroovyUnitTest as an application, just do the equivalent of this in your IDE
|Code Block
java groovy.util.GroovyTestSuite src/test/Foo.groovy
Or to run the test suite inside your IDE, just run the GroovyTestSuite test with this system property defined
|Code Block
Either of the above can really help improve the development experience of writing Groovy unit test cases in IDEs that don't yet support Groovy natively.
Running a TestSuite containing GroovyTestCase scripts directly in Eclipse
You can take advantage of GroovyTestSuite's ability to compile GroovyTestCase scripts into classes to build a TestSuite which can be run from Eclipse's JUnit runner directly.
The suite() method of TestSuite creates and returns a Test. Within your TestSuite's suite() method, you can create a GroovyTestSuite and use to to compile groovy scripts into Class instances, and add them to a TestSuite that you are building using TestSuite.addSuite(Class).
Here's a TestSuite that contains some GroovyTestCase scripts:
|Code Block
public class MyTestSuite extends TestSuite { // Since Eclipse launches tests relative to the project root, // declare the relative path to the test scripts for convenience private static final String TEST_ROOT = "src/test/com/foo/bar/"; public static TestSuite suite() throws Exception { TestSuite suite = new TestSuite(); GroovyTestSuite gsuite = new GroovyTestSuite(); suite.addTestSuite(FooTest.class); // non-groovy test cases welcome, too. suite.addTestSuite(gsuite.compile(TEST_ROOT + "BarTest.groovy")); suite.addTestSuite(gsuite.compile(TEST_ROOT + "FooFactoryTest.groovy")); suite.addTestSuite(gsuite.compile(TEST_ROOT + "BaazTest.groovy")); return suite; } }
This TestSuite subclass can then be launched as a normal TestSuite in Eclipse. For example, right-click, Run As -> JUnit Test.
From there, the behavior of the JUnit test runner is the same; hierarchy view of all tests and individual methods, their results, etc.
Using normal scripts as unit test cases
You can write scripts like this
|Code Block
x = [1, 2, 3] assert x.size() == 3
and use these scripts as unit test cases if you use the GroovyTestSuite class to run them as described below.
When the above script is compiled, it doesn't actually implement JUnit's TestCase and so needs a special runner so that it can be used inside a JUnit test framework. This is what GroovyTestSuite does, it detects scripts like the above and wraps them in a JUnit Test adapter so you can run scripts like the above as a unit test case inside your IDE.
Example of a test suite to test Groovy scripts
|Code Block
// RunAllScriptsTests.groovy import groovy.util.GroovyTestSuite import junit.framework.Test import junit.textui.TestRunner import org.codehaus.groovy.runtime.ScriptTestAdapter class AllTests { static Test suite() { def allTests = new GroovyTestSuite() allTests.addTest(new ScriptTestAdapter(allTests.compile("GroovyOK.groovy"), [] as String[])) allTests.addTest(new ScriptTestAdapter(allTests.compile("GroovyOK2.groovy"), [] as String[])) return allTests } } TestRunner.run(AllTests.suite())
Sample output
|Code Block
groovy RunAllScriptsTests.groovy .. Time: 0,015 OK (2 tests)
New AllTestSuite
There is a new class groovy.util.AllTestSuite that transparently cares for all the above.
Simply make a Run Configuration in your IDE for this class, providing the following System Properties:
Property name
the directory to search for groovy tests
the ant fileset pattern to search below the dir
See the API documentation of groovy.util.AllTestSuite for more details.
Here is the run config for JetBrains IDEA:
Here is how it looks like when running the AllTestSuite for the the groovy Unit tests of the Groovy project itself:

text: Introduction to Diabetes Diabetes is a serious disease that can lead to a number of complications.The good news is that diabetes can be managed -- and many of its complication can be prevented -- with proper self-care and treatment!If you smoke, stop. If you're overweight, eat less and exercise. Work with your doctor to control your blood pressure and cholesterol.Diabetes: basic factsMore than 40 percent of American adults have diabetes or are at increased risk of developing the disease. In the coming years, the number of Americans with diabetes will likely double, reaching an estimated 44.1 million people. The implications of such a trend are staggering! Not only is diabetes the seventh most common cause of death and a leading cause of blindness, heart disease, amputation, end stage kidney disease and liver problems — it is extremely expensive to treat. A third of all Medicare spending is related to diabetes and its many complications.What is this costly disease and why does it occur?What is diabetes?People with diabetes cannot maintain healthy levels of blood glucose unless they carefully monitor their food intake and in most cases, take medication. While other people experience occasional bouts of high blood glucose, people with diabetes experience this problem more severely and frequently unless they are appropriately treated. Abnormally high blood glucose levels that persist over time can lead to a number of serious complications.What causes blood glucose to rise?A small fraction -- as few as 5 percent -- of people with diabetes are unable to make any insulin at all, a hormone produced by the pancreas that helps the body process carbohydrates from meals. This condition is known as type 1 diabetes, an autoimmune disease in which the body's immune system mistakenly attacks and destroys the body's own pancreas. The damaged pancreas can no longer produce insulin for the body, so people with type 1 diabetes must use insulin injections in order to survive.The vast majority -- as many as 95 percent -- of people with diabetes can produce normal levels of insulin, but their bodies cannot appropriately respond to the hormone. In people who have type 2 diabetes, insulin is no longer effective at lowering blood glucose. Sometimes people with diabetes can keep their blood glucose at healthy levels by controlling the amount of carbohydrates in their diet. In most cases, medication is needed in the form of pills. Eventually, some people with type 2 diabetes lose their ability to produce insulin and must use insulin injections.What common health problems occur in people with diabetes?People with diabetes are at greater risk than others of developing complications. Generally, these problems fall into one of two categories:Acute problems arise quickly and get better with prompt treatment. For example, eating too many carbs or forgetting to take medication can cause high blood glucose in people with diabetes. Until it is treated, high blood glucose causes blurry vision, fatigue, thirstiness and urinating more often than usual.Chronic problems develop over many years and are difficult to reverse. For example, people who have uncontrolled diabetes for many years often develop diseases that affect the blood vessels, both big and small, throughout the body. People with diabetes are two to three times more likely than other people to develop heart disease. They are also at risk for developing diseases of the eyes, nerves and kidney.How is diabetes treated?Multiple options are available for treating diabetes. People with type 1 diabetes must take insulin every day to control their blood glucose. Some people with type 2 diabetes can control their blood glucose by monitoring their diet, but most require pills or insulin.What it all meansDiabetes is a growing problem in the United States and around the world. This disease is expensive to treat and can lead to a number of serious complications, including death, if diagnosed late or left untreated.Reviewed by Dr. Rita R. Kalyani and Dr. Mark D.

Well I finally made it through this essay and it wasn't easy. First of all, what really struck me was how this was yet another example of an obviously intelligent believer try to grapple with Harris's arguments. Clearly he had never encountered such a concise attack before. He ends up talking in circles and conceding many of the most damaging blows that Harris posited.
The most revealing part seems to be:
As a person of faith, broadly defined, I interpret morality as being, obedience to God, regardless of how that manifests itself in human happiness or suffering. This is what frightens Mr. Harris, and frankly, me, misinterpreted in the hands of the violently unstable. I concede that there are problematic issues with my definition as well, particularly in the attempt to more narrowly interpret the application of the broader concept, which will be addressed later.
He never does go back to address this and although he recognizes "problematic issues" with the definition, he doesn't accept that this logic is more or less a source of pure evil.
