PCAnywhere OLE automation using custom port
Created: 11 Dec 2013 • Updated: 30 Dec 2013
I have two computers using PCAnywhere at the same IP address but using different ports (two different physical computers).
I created two different CHF files and I have specified different ports (data port and status port) for the second connection.
When I use PCAnywhere manually the two connections works properly, but when i am using OLE automation, the custom port seem to be ignore, on both case the application connect to the computer using default port.
I use C++:
AWREM32::Document doc;
doc.awConnect( "MY_CONNECTION.CHF" );
Is there any way to specify the ports used with OLE automation ?
Thanks in advance.

CALGARY -- Mike Babcock took a page out of the coaching playbook from some of his peers in other sports to put Canada's Olympic hopefuls through a unique workout Monday morning at the Canadian Olympic orientation camp.
Since ice isn't available to the coaches and players because of the prohibitive costs to insure all the NHL contracts at Canada's Olympic orientation camp, Babcock instead used advice he got from Michigan State basketball coach Tom Izzo and Detroit Lions quarterbacks coach Todd Downey to put the 45 players in attendance through a ball hockey-style walk-through.
Eric Staal - Jonathan Toews - Rick Nash
Logan Couture - John Tavares - Steven Stamkos
Martin St. Louis - Mike Richards - Jeff Carter
Andrew Ladd - Ryan Getzlaf - Corey Perry
Marc Staal - Drew Doughty
Dion Phaneuf - Brent Seabrook
Jay Bouwmeester - P.K. Subban
Alex Pietrangelo - Travis Hamonic - Dan Hamhuis
Roberto Luongo
Mike Smith
Braden Holtby
Chris Kunitz - Sidney Crosby - Patrick Sharp
Milan Lucic - Matt Duchene - James Neal
Brad Marchand - Patrice Bergeron - Jordan Eberle
Taylor Hall - Jordan Staal - Dylan Walchuk (University of Calgary)
Duncan Keith - Shea Weber
Karl Alzner - Mike Green
Marc-Edouard Vlasic - Dan Boyle
Marc Methot - Kris Letang
Carey Price
Corey Crawford
Hockey Canada had a crew put a fiberglass surface complete with lines and markings over the the international ice sheet at Markin MacPhail Centre, and Babcock then divided the players into two groups. Each workout was aimed at giving the players firsthand experience with some of the systems and overall style of play the Canadians plan to utilize when they get to the 2014 Olympics in Sochi, Russia, and play on the bigger ice sheet.
"Tom Izzo is a Hall of Fame basketball coach who wins year after year after year," Babcock said. "He's a serial winner. He's always in the Final Four, has a great program. When I phoned him, he was thrilled to talk to me and had a bunch of ideas for me. We talked back and forth. He was able to help me understand the process so we could present something to the players so they could learn but also so I was confident enough that we could do this.
"And then Todd Downey, the quarterback coach of the Lions, he was the same," Babcock continued. "He was fantastic. Actually, he was brilliant. He had so many good ideas for me. It's easy for me to come out and run stuff when you're on the ice. That's what I do for a living. This isn't what I do for a living. So I didn't know how it was going to be."
Babcock was thrilled with how the walk-through turned out.
"We thought this was an excellent day for our team and our coaching staff in taking a step," Babcock said. "I think the guys had a lot of fun. I talked to a few of the key guys, and they told me it was good. We'll talk about it [Monday night] and we'll revisit it again [Tuesday] and have another good day and take a step. I think it sets us up good. I was extremely pleased."
The players, wearing Hockey Canada-issued shirts, hats, shorts and sneakers, began by lightly jogging through the drills -- but soon enough the competitiveness took over; they were going faster and getting a bit more physical with their sticks.
San Jose Sharks center Logan Couture even fell in the corner and slid on his stomach, but he got up and was fine. Montreal Canadiens goalie Carey Price said he took some shots off his ankle and joked that his save percentage wasn't very good.
"It was a little tough to move out here, it's pretty slippery so I had to watch the groins a little bit, but it's good," Colorado Avalanche center Matt Duchene said. "Obviously it gives us all an idea of the systems we're going to be playing. It's kind of like what football players do just doing walk-throughs. I think it's beneficial for everybody for sure."
The groups took breaks during the workout to go back into the video room, but the biggest benefit the players got out of the walk-through was actually putting what they saw on video into practice on the floor.
"It was nice that we were able to go through different situational things," Tampa Bay Lightning center Steven Stamkos said. "It's one thing to watch it on the video and see clips, but getting a chance to actually physically go through it, even though we weren't on skates, it was nice just to get spacing, knowing which lanes we have to fill. It was a very productive day."
Babcock said it was also important for him to get out on the floor and teach because he never feels he gets enough out of watching a video clip.
"Let's not kid ourselves, I would rather be skating."
-- Canada coach Mike Babcock
"I don't learn very good by watching TV," Babcock said. "I'm a schoolteacher by trade. You go through all these different ways of teaching, they've got to grab onto something. Plus, it's fun. They're out here joking around -- bad pass here or pick up there, little things like that. I thought it was very, very good."
Babcock indicated that he may actually take the walk-through back to his team in Detroit and use it in the hotel on the road in lieu of a morning skate.
"You'll see the Red Wings doing this in their hotel one day for sure to work on the power play," Babcock said. "I thought this was great. It wasn't hard. No one got hurt. There was no wear and tear on the body. It was fun, and it was different. The National Hockey League is 82 games and it's a grind. There was nothing wrong with this. It was good."
Still, though, Babcock wishes he didn't have to use the walk-through Monday to get his systems in place.
"Let's not kid ourselves, I would rather be skating," he said. "I'd learn way more about these players, but it was fun and it keeps you guys [the media] entertained, too."
The media, ironically, was busy analyzing and Tweeting out the lines Babcock and his assistants put together. They are listed below, but Babcock warned not to read anything into them.
"We made sure that you couldn't read too much into the lines on purpose," Babcock said. "I want every one of these guys knowing they have an opportunity to be an Olympian. 'I played with Crosby, I'm on the team,' no. Don't read into anything that happened here [Monday]."

BOSTON -- Dustin Pedroia was an important member of the Boston Red Sox during their 2007 World Series title run, but as a rookie on a team loaded with big names, he was down the chain of command.
The roller-coaster ride that Pedroia has endured since then is almost difficult to comprehend. So, when the organization came together in shocking, almost magical fashion to pick up the second World Series triumph of Pedroia's career, this time with the star second baseman leading the way, he was able to reflect on an extraordinary journey.
"We're the best team in baseball, we showed it from Day 1," he said, goggles perched on his head inside the Red Sox's clubhouse after the World Series-clinching 6-1 win over the St. Louis Cardinals. "Came out, played the right way. We changed a lot of things after the last couple of years. It's a pretty special group. Proud of everybody. Everybody worked so hard, put all their focus on the team and what they needed to do in certain roles. It's pretty special."
Pedroia felt that the assessment of the team's transformation last offseason was off the mark. This was not just going to be a lovey-dovey group that sang "Kumbaya" after games in an effort to simply prove that the negative sentiments lingering from 2011 and 2012 were gone.
No, this was a unit built in the mold of Pedroia.
"That's the thing. I think at the beginning of the year everybody thought that we just brought good guys here. The reality is those guys can flat out play baseball," he said. "That's the reason why we're here. We didn't just get nice guys that are fun to be around, the guys we got stepped up huge and everybody did something that brought something special to the team."
Imports such as Shane Victorino, Mike Napoli, Jonny Gomes and others meshed seamlessly in the clubhouse. While some of that is a testament to their character, none of it would be possible if the leaders who had been through the ups and downs with the organization did not set such a definitive tone. Pedroia did so off the bat, shrugging aside a thumb injury suffered on Opening Day to put together another All-Star campaign, complete with his third Gold Glove and a career-high 160 games.
Knowing he finally had the right mix around him certainly helped.
"It's kind of funny," he said. "When you're in college and everybody talks about being a team and this and that. That's what we were. That's why this is so special."
Indeed, Pedroia was able, through a remarkable kinship with his teammates, to feel young again. Just like in 2007.

The last Nanorama project featured here was the Nanorama Car Workshop in a Sept. 24, 2014 post. According to a Feb. 4, 2015 news item on Nanotechnology Now, there's a new project,
The "Nanorama Laboratory", an interactive online tool on the safe handling of nanomaterials, is now available in English on nano.dguv.de/nanorama/bgrci/en/. The tool, developed in close collaboration with the German Social Accident Insurance Institution for the raw materials and chemical industry (BG RCI), was devised by the Innovation Society, St. Gallen. It is part of the nano-platform "Safe Handling of Nanomaterials" of the German Social Accident Insurance (DGUV).
A Feb. 4, 2015 The Innovation Society press release, which originated the news item, expands on the topic,
The "Nanorama Laboratory" http://nano.dguv.de/nanorama/bgrci/en/ is one of three interactive educational tools available on the Nano-Platform "Safe Handling of Nanomaterials" (http://nano.dguv.de; to date, the platform and the remaining "Nanoramas" are available in German). The "Nanorama Laboratory" was developed by the Innovation Society, St. Gallen, in close collaboration with the German Social Accident Insurance Institution for the raw materials and chemical industry (BG RCI). It offers insights into the safe handling of nanomaterials and installations used to manufacture or process nanomaterials in laboratories. Complementary to hazard evaluation assessments, it enables users to assess the occupational exposure to nanomaterials and to identify necessary protective measures when handling said materials in laboratories.
The Innovation Society offers an image from the latest Nanorama made available in English,

The risk of getting
osteoporosis increases with age as bones naturally
become thinner. After age 30, the rate at which your bone tissue dissolves and
is absorbed by the body slowly increases, while the rate of bone building
decreases. In women, bone loss is more rapid and usually begins after monthly
menstrual periods stop, when a woman's production of the hormone
estrogen slows down (usually between the ages of 45
and 55). A man's bone thinning typically starts to develop gradually when his
production of the hormone testosterone slows down, at about 45 to 50 years of
age. Women typically have smaller and lighter bones than men. As a result,
women develop osteoporosis far more often than men. Osteoporosis usually does
not have a noticeable effect on people until they are 60 or older.
Whether a person develops osteoporosis depends on the thickness of the
bones (bone density) in early life, as well as health, diet,
and physical activity later in life. Factors that increase the risk for
osteoporosis in both men and women include:
Other risk factors for osteoporosis may include:
Women who have completed
menopause have the greatest risk for osteoporosis
because their levels of the
estrogen hormone drop. Estrogen protects women from
bone loss. Likewise, women who no longer have menstrual periods—either because
ovaries are not working properly or because their
ovaries have been surgically removed—also can have lower estrogen

Int. Indy's Lecture Hall Day
Indy leans against his desk, talking with Brody and two army officers, COLONEL MUSGROVE and MAJOR EATON.
MUSGROVE: Yesterday, one of our European sections intercepted a Nazi communique from Cairo to Berlin. We don't quite know what to make of it.
Musgrove takes a sheet from his briefcase.
MUSGROVE: Here it is. "Tanis development proceeding. Acquire head piece staff of Ra, Abner Ravenwood, US." What do you make that?
INDY: Well obviously the Nazis have discovered Tanis.
EATON: Tanis?
INDY: It all has to do with the Ark of the Covenant. See-
A young army OFFICER runs into the room, a small sheet of paper in his hand.
OFFICER: Sorry to interrupt, gentlemen, but we just intercepted a new communication from the Nazis, I thought you should know.
He hands the sheet to Musgrove who reads it.
MUSGROVE: "Begun digging without headpiece. Started with big temple-looking building in center of city. Ark of the Covenant acquired. Cheers."
INDY: The Nazis have the Ark!
BRODY: The Bible tells of it leveling mountains and laying waste to entire regions. An army which carries the Ark before it is invincible.
INDY: We have to get moving, we're already behind!
A SECOND OFFICER comes running into the room, also holding a piece of paper.
SECOND OFFICER: Pardon the interruption, but we just received this telegram from one of our agents in Cairo.
He hands the paper to Musgrove.
MUSGROVE: "Ark opened by Nazi commander. Entire German division destroyed. No survivors. Egypt liberated."
EATON: Good God.
BRODY: Yes, that's just what the Hebrews thought.
INDY: They must have opened the Ark and looked inside.
BRODY: Of course!
EATON: Wait what?
INDY: You can't look inside the Ark, the Ten Commandments are in there.
EATON: You're talking about THE Ten Commandments?
INDY: Yes, the actual Ten Commandments, the stone tablets that Moses brought down out of Mount Horeb and smashed. If you look at them you die. Didn't you guys ever go to Sunday school?
EATON: Every week for twelve years actually, and I don't remember learning that you're not supposed to look at the Ten Commandments.
MUSGROVE: I've never heard that either. Are you sure?
INDY: Yeah I'm pretty sure it's in the Bible somewhere.
MUSGROVE: Well, thank you for your time, but it looks like we won't be needing your services after all.
Musgrove, Eaton and the two officers exit.
BRODY: So, what do you want to do now?
INDY: We could recover the golden idol Belloq stole from me. I figure there's only one place he can sell it, Marrakesh. Two, three thousand dollars and it's ours.
BRODY: So he only wanted it to sell it?
INDY: Well it's not like he's going to keep it over his fireplace.
BRODY: And you're willing to pay for it?
INDY: I assume the museum will reimburse me.
BRODY: As always. But, if he wants to sell it and you want to buy it, then why all the fighting over it in the first place?
INDY: I'm making this up as I go?
BRODY: Look, you and Belloq are both great at what you do, but you get held back by competing with each other even though your interests aren't really at odds. If you just teamed up you would accomplish so much more. You two could be top men.
INDY: What?
BRODY: Top men.

PORTLAND — Two college students who robbed two credit union branches in 2010 were sentenced in federal court Monday in Portland to five years' probation, avoiding prison.
The two — 24-year-old Brittney Anne Sykes Caudle and 21-year-old Emma Caday Westhusing — pleaded guilty to bank robbery charges for holdups at Rivermark Community Credit Union branches in the Gresham and Clackamas.
The Oregonian reports prosecutors asked for prison time for the two.
But Judge Garr M. King said he was impressed that both have expressed remorse and both have jobs and are taking college classes again. Both also have been receiving help for mental and emotional problems.

Host was very responsive, and apartment was as described. Very convenient location near the beach as well as shops and restaurants, with easy access to Orlando and the rest of Brevard County. Would definitely stay again!
Listing description was accurate. There were no surprises. Everything described was true. The host took his time to speak to me and even provide me with information of where to visit and where I could find stores, restaurants, activities for the children!

Jaden Smith — one-half of Hollywood's new potential It Couple — may be little, but he has a big imagination…. In a new interview, he confessed to believing in aliens, and says he has a pretty good reason for doing so. Justin Bieber's bff told Wonderland that he and his dad Will met President Obama during a trip to the White House and he asked him if they were real:
"I talked to President Obama about extraterrestrials," Jaden said. "He said he could neither confirm nor deny the existence of aliens, which means they're real. If people think we're the only people that live in this universe, then something is wrong with them."
Darlings… what do you think? Is Jaden's belief too hard to comprehend, or do you think he's on to something? Have any of you spotted an ET on the Upper East Side? Tell me in a comment below. XOXO

Alex Lifeson and Geddy Lee of Rush Choose 22 Songs That Inspired Them Most
Alex Lifeson and Geddy Lee of Rush Choose 22 Songs That Inspired Them Most
Alex Lifeson and Geddy Lee of Rush discuss the music that is closest to their hearts.
"ARE YOU EXPERIENCED" Jimi Hendrix, Are You Experienced (1967)
This was another record I heard for the first time at Rutsey's place. What attracts me to this song is all the backward stuff. It sounds so alien but so right and perfect.
Hendrix was a natural genius who played many beautiful styles. Talent as great as his doesn't come through life very frequently. Hendrix was one in a billion.

Canon EF 16-35mm f/2.8L II USM Standard Lens
Product information
A fast, ultra wide-angle zoom lens offering excellent optical performance throughout the zoom range. A constant f/2.8 maximum aperture make this an ideal lens for low-light photography.
Key benefits:
- A fast f/2.8 maximum aperture stays constant over the full focal-length range, meaning no variation in shutter speed will occur when zooming.
- A ring-type ultrasonic motor drives autofocus extremely quickly, and in near silence. Excellent holding torque ensures the point of focus is reached accurately, without overshooting. Furthermore, full-time manual override is available, making it possible to adjust focus without leaving AF mode.
- A virtually circular aperture diaphragm gives out of focus regions a softer, more uniform feel. Sharp foreground objects stand out against a smooth blurred background.
- The EF 16-35mm f/2.8L II USM incorporates three aspherical elements to ensure corner-to-corner sharpness and clarity throughout the focal range. Two UD (Ultra Low Dispersion) elements virtually eliminate chromatic aberrations.
- Super Spectra coatings ensure accurate colour balance and enhance contrast. They also reduce flare and ghosting - a common problem caused by light bouncing off a camera's sensor.
- Ensures optimal flash metering by passing distance information back to a compatible EOS camera's E-TTL II flash system.

Controversial bird flu study cleared for publication
American biosecurity experts had warned the research on H5N1 mutations could be used to harm public health or national security.
Share via Email
A controversial bird flu study has cleared the final hurdle on its long road to publication, with the Dutch government granting the work an export permit.
Dutch virologist Ron Fouchier confirmed he received notification on Friday that the government had cleared his study, meaning he can submit it to the U.S.-based journal Science. Fouchier said he planned to send the paper later Friday evening and hoped the work would be published within a few weeks.
Fouchier's paper was one of two contested studies looking at how H5N1 viruses could be mutated to the point that they could transmit through the air among mammals. The second study, led by virologist Yoshihiro Kawaoka of the University of Wisconsin-Madison, has been accepted for publication in the British-based journal Nature.
The studies were done with ferrets serving as a proxy for people. While ferrets don't always predict how flu viruses will behave in humans, the animals are considered the best available animal model for flu.
Both studies have been tied up for months after a panel of American biosecurity experts advised the U.S. government to ask the journals to withhold details of how the work was done.
The National Science Advisory Board for Biosecurity, or NSABB, said the studies were so-called dual-use research of concern — legitimate science that could be used to harm public health or national security.
After months of debate within the scientific community — and after Fouchier clarified what he called misconceptions about the lethality of the viruses he created — the NSABB withdrew its objection in late March.
But the Dutch government insisted that Fouchier's team apply for an export permit to send the work outside the country. The Netherlands is one of a number of countries that have laws restricting the export of goods or data that pose security concerns.

(Eds: APNewsNow. Will be updated.) By ARNIE STAPLETON AP Pro Football Writer Cincinnati Bengals coach Marvin Lewis isn't the only one haunted by the ''Immaculate Deflection.'' So is Brandon Stokley, who caught the batted ball and raced 87 yards for the score with 11 seconds left, giving Denver an improbable 12-7 win at Cincinnati in 2009. With the Bengals (3-4) hosting the Broncos (4-3) Sunday, Stokley said he, too, has bad dreams about that play in which he cradled cornerback Leon Hall's deflection at midfield and outraced linebacker Dhani Jones into the end zone. It was the longest winning play from scrimmage in the final minute of a game in NFL history. Stokley ran parallel to the goal line to take precious seconds off the clock, but said he's had nightmares about fumbling or getting tackled, and so he'd do it differently today.

BMW iPhone 5 Snap-In Adapter Cradle Now Available

I have an 2013 640d (october 2012) with options 6NF,6NR, 609 AND 6NL.
Last march I bought the "prototype" snap in adapter for Iphone5 (84.21-2 338 568-01) which doesn't support video-out and has no fan. Several times, my Iphone5 got very hot and turned off automatically until it cooled down.
Last week I saw the new "connect" (84.21-2 351 308-01) snap-in adapter for Iphone 5 with fan on the internet and asked for it at the dealership. They told me this adapter would only work for newer BMW's with option 6NS. Also they told me that video-out on iPhones would not work in the newer cars with 6NS. I told him I would like to try it anyway, so I picked it up today. I tested it and I can confirm that it doesn't work properly.
It does everything that my old snap in does (apps, controlling Iphone through Idrive, Cover art,...) EXCEPT playing music through the car speakers . Music comes out of the Iphone itself and indeed there's no video out. BMW told me I have to wait for the snap in adapter "music/media" (2 351 309) with fan, but they don't know when it comes out. They don't expect it till november.
So basically:
- I still don't have a snap in adapter for my Iphone5 that works properly
- The "music/media" adapter that comes out later this year (?) solves the overheating problem but doesn't support video out, so this option will not be possible for Iphone5
- Newer cars (since june 2013, with 6NS) don't support video out at all
- You can only use video out on older iPhones in older cars (< june 2013)
Thanks for taking one for the team. I saw this coming a while back especially with how slow BMW is at updating the stuff for iPhones. I broke down and found out the best solution really is to buy the iphone 4 cradle plus leave your old iphone 4 as a music player. I even use the iphone 4 as a backup when my 5 dies for some reason lol. I found this works out best. This also allows you to leave your case on your iphone 5 if you have one. I have a very slim clear one.

Union Thugs…
A fourth-grade teacher in Anaheim public schools, Rebecca Friedrichs, has long had problems with the way the California Teachers Association spends the union dues it takes in and the way it goes about collecting the money from the rank and file. Now she and nine other teachers from around the state are fighting back. The 10 public school teachers allege in a lawsuit that the CTA, the largest affiliate of the National Education Association, has no right to spend the rank-and-file's money on political campaigns with which members disagree.
In the case, currently before the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals, Friedrichs and the other teachers say the union forces them to participate in collective bargaining, pressures teachers to campaign for selected political candidates and unlawfully collects dues.
Under California state law, a union that is recognized as the exclusive bargaining representative for a school district, such as the CTA, can enter into an organizational security or "agency-shop" agreement which, in lay terms, means that while it is not mandatory for a teacher in the district to become a member of the local union, they must pay fees to the union for it to negotiate on their behalf. The rule is a condition of employment for all teachers.
Friedrichs alleges that CTA members and non-members alike pay the full annual dues, which total around $1,000, with non-members only able to request reimbursement of the portion deemed separate from bargaining expenses. The CTA does little to make sure they are aware of how much money they should be paid back.
The plaintiffs, who are backed by The Center for Individual Rights, are hoping that the court of appeals, like the district court before them, will rule quickly and allow the process work its way to the U.S. Supreme Court.

The California city of Palmdale was ready to roll out the red carpet this summer when a Japanese company agreed to build a $60 million factory on a city-owned, vacant parcel on the southwest side of town — but now the company is taking its project out of state and critics say union greed is to blame.
As many as 300 people were slated to work at the 400,000-square-foot plant, painting and wiring light rail cars under a huge contract with the Los Angeles Metropolitan Transportation Authority. It was a coup for Palmdale Mayor Jim Ledford, and a plan that seemed to suit Kinkisharyo International, which last year moved its U.S. headquarters from Boston to El Segundo, Calif.
But a newly formed environmental group — which critics say is a front for a local union — had other ideas.
The "Antelope Valley Residents for Responsible Development," a group backed by the International Brotherhood Workers Union Local 11, produced a 588-page appeal claiming that construction of the proposed factory would violate state environmental laws, by, among other things, kicking up spores. What the union really wanted, according to Kinkisharyo officials, was clearance to organize the plant without any interference from the company. When Kinkisharyo officials balked, the project suddenly became a potential environmental hazard.
Kinkisharyo, the El Segundo-based U.S. subsidiary of Kinki Sharyo Co., is currently assembling 78 light rail cars for Metro, with delivery of the first car expected this month. The company has exercised an option to build an additional 97 cars under a 10-year, $891 million contract with the MTA. For now, the company is doing the work from a hangar in Palmdale. But after delays the company has said have cost it $2 million, Kinkisharyo is looking out of state for a site to build its plant.

A Michigan court ruled that the state branch of the powerful Service Employees International Union does not have to pay back tens of millions of dollars in dues taken from home health care workers who were forced into unionization.
The Michigan Court of Appeals ruled last week that the SEIU Healthcare Michigan does not have to pay back more than $34 million in dues collected from over 40,000 home health care workers. Many were forced into the union under state requirements that they join because they were taking care of sick family members at home.
The SEIU successfully lobbied for the plan in multiple states that classified unpaid family members as "home health care workers." Dues were then automatically collected from the care recipients' Medicare or Medicaid checks.
The Court of Appeals ruling was in favor of SEIU Healthcare Michigan's motion to have the case dismissed because the union had paid back dues to Patricia Haynes and Steven Glossop, who had filed suit demanding dues they were forced to pay be returned. The court noted that Haynes and Glossop were paid back more than they requested in their lawsuit.

Just over a month after a landmark Supreme Court ruling, the Service Employees International Union is starting to drop its efforts to force home healthcare workers to pay dues.
SEIU local officials in Illinois, Minnesota, and Massachusetts notified home-based childcare and healthcare providers that they will not collect union fees. The news follows the June 30 ruling against forcing their collection by the Supreme Court in Harris v. Quinn, a class action lawsuit filed by staff attorneys for the National Right to Work Foundation representing eight health workers in the Prairie State.
"We're just starting to see the full implication of the Foundation's win in the Harris case," Patrick Semmens, vice president of the National Right to Work Foundation, told FoxNews.com. "In recent years, Big Labor has increasingly turned to friendly governors whose campaigns they funded to unionize people who aren't truly government employees so they can skim forced dues from government subsidies. Enforcement of the Harris precedent nationwide will end that."
The high court held in its June 30 ruling that the Service Employees International Union cannot force people who care for loved ones to be union members and deduct dues from the government checks of those they care for. The practice has gone on for several years in a handful of states, creating a lucrative stream of cash for the powerful labor organization, which represents more than two million workers and takes in about $300 million per year.

One of the nation's most powerful labor unions could face a costly onslaught of lawsuits seeking tens of millions of dollars in dues, after the U.S. Supreme Court ruled the money was collected improperly, legal experts said.
In a ruling Monday, the high court held that Service Employees International Union cannot force people who care for loved ones to be union members and deduct dues from the government checks of those they care for. The practice has gone on for several years in a handful of states, creating a lucrative stream of cash for the powerful labor organization, which represents more than 2 million workers and takes in about $300 million per year.
"The whole point of the decision was that the folks milked by the SEIU weren't really public employees and should not be forced to pay union dues at all," said Hans Bader, senior attorney for the Competitive Enterprise Institute. "So they should be able to sue for refund of their compelled union dues back as far as the statute of limitations will allow.
The National Right to Work Foundation, which also represented plaintiff Pamela Harris in Harris v. Quinn, plans to pursue improperly collected dues on behalf of its clients, who could become part of a class action, according to a spokesman.

Michigan's 150,000-member teachers union has sicced a bill collector on a kindergarten teacher to recoup $400 in dues it claims she owes, even though the state passed a right-to-work law last year allowing employees to opt out of union membership — which she claims is what she did.
Kimberle Byrd, a kindergarten teacher for Bangor Public Schools, got a notice last month from Account Receivable Solutions for $394.20 in unpaid dues she allegedly owes to the Michigan Education Association (MEA). Byrd, who could not be reached for comment Monday, told Michigan Capitol Confidential she considers herself out of the union as of last year, when her contract expired.
A new contract with a tentative agreement for teachers in Byrd's Van Buren County district was reached on Sept. 9, roughly six months after Michigan's right-to-work law became effective in late March 2013. Byrd figured the new right-to-work law, which means unions can't force workers to join or pay dues, meant she was free to quit when her contract expired. Under the law, union workers have to affirmatively sign up for automatic dues withdrawal, something Byrd and about 7,000 other teachers have not done.
But the MEA insists that its members can only opt in August, or they have to wait another year. Since Byrd didn't file in August, she is still a rank and filer in the eyes of the MEA. Another year's dues will cost her around $1,100, she told the Washington Examiner. And even if the August rule is legitimate, she had no way of knowing about it, she said.
Byrd has been a member of her union for 19 years. She estimated that she's paid as much as $17,000 in union dues over her teaching career.
Yet, Byrd says the union has not helped her in two of her concerns involving her benefits and then engaged in cyberbullying and intimidation once she decided she no longer wanted to be part of the union.

Unions and their allies are trying to flex their muscle in state legislatures, pushing for labor history to be included in social studies curriculum and hoping a new generation of high school students will one day be well-educated union members.
But the results are instead shaping up as a reminder of the tough political landscape faced by organized labor. In six states, opponents have pushed back against demands that teachers offer lessons about the first craft unions in the 19th century, the large-scale organizing drives that powered the growth of industrial unions in the 1930s, the rise of organized labor as a political machine and other highlights of America's union movement.
California and Delaware are the only states with laws that encourage schools to teach labor history.
Kevin Dayton, a policy consultant to non-union construction companies in California, said the legislation was pushed by unions to boost their ranks.

In the first year since the Wolverine State adopted a right-to-work law in 2013, SEIU Healthcare Michigan lost a staggering 80 percent of its members.
The case illustrates a dirty secret of the modern labor movement: A lot of its rank and file members don't want to be in a union in the first place and will leave if given the chance.
What right to work did in Michigan, the Supreme Court might soon do nationally: In the case of Harris v. Quinn, the justices must decide if Illinois state government can force its own public sector employees to participate in a union. If the ruling is "no," that could effectively extend right-to-work laws to all public sector employees.
The possibility has labor law experts closely watching the case. About half of all union members nationally – more than 7 million people – work in the public sector. Many, possibly a majority, are in workplaces that were unionized before they were hired, so they never had a chance to decide for themselves. Many may leave, hurting Big Labor's already-sliding membership numbers.

That's why I'm committed to offering you the same level of service I'd expect from my own business dealings. When you leave my office, I hope you'll feel confident, informed, assured and satisfied in your choices. The way you should feel.
When it comes to life insurance, Allstate agent Brian Schnopp in Morgantown wants to make the process as easy and hassle-free as possible by taking your individual needs into account. If you're considering coverage throughout different phases of your life, then perhaps a term life insurance policy is right for you. Allstate has helpful online resources that can help you learn about policy features. Or, call (304)599-1990 for more details!
