Pennsylvania State Budget
Middle Class Loses Under Gov. Wolf's Budget
The Independent Fiscal Office (IFO) released a sober analysis of Gov. Wolf's 2016-17 budget proposal. It examines the consequences of eight separate tax increases as well as a minimum wage hike. The 35-page analysis can be summarized in four major points.
1. Higher middle class taxes than New Jersey. The IFO produced hypothetical scenarios for families in 12 states to demonstrate the impact of the governor's 11 percent personal income tax (PIT) hike. A Pennsylvania family making $50,000 will pay higher taxes than the same family living in New Jersey and five neighboring states.
Proponents of a PIT hike emphasize the current rate is one of the lowest in the country. While true, it does not account for the fact that Pennsylvania's rate is among the highest for low-income families, and that the PIT does not exist in seven states.
2. The highest severance tax rate among major gas-producing states. If the governor gets his way, Pennsylvania's gas industry would pay a 5.6 percent severance tax. The tax would be imposed in addition to the taxes gas companies already pay.
Supporters of a severance tax insist wealthy gas companies need to pay their "fair share." But this punitive tax will also fall on people who depend on the natural gas industry for their livelihoods. A slew of jobs have already been lost as natural gas prices remain at 20 year lows.
3. The 10th highest state cigarette tax rate in the country. Philadelphia's tax rate would be 2nd only to New York. Cigarette taxes affect a narrow population and garner more support than broad based taxes. However, cigarette taxes disproportionately affect the poor and encourage violence stemming from smuggling. In 2014, Philadelphia implemented a $2 tax on cigarettes. The tax drove Philadelphia residents to purchase cigarettes in nearby counties, which hurt small businesses in the city.
4. A minimum wage hike would erase nearly 30,000 job opportunities. The IFO predicts raising the minimum wage from $7.25 to $10.10 an hour would boost the incomes of some workers. However, the new mandated minimum wage would also force layoffs and slow hiring.
Everyone wants to reduce poverty, but forcing businesses to increase wages will harm the very people the policy is intended to help. Those with little work experience or education will find it more difficult to land that first job. For example, teenage unemployment rates are consistently higher in states with higher minimum wages.
All of Governor Wolf's proposals have one thing in common: They concentrate more money and power in Harrisburg. Yet, job growth and economic prosperity come from innovative people in the private sector, not from a large and removed state government.
Budget Complete as Fiscal Code Becomes Law
Late on Friday afternoon, Gov. Tom Wolf quietly announced the fiscal code will become law without his signature. This significant development closes the door on a tumultuous year of state budget politics—and represents an important victory for public and private school children.
Just last month Wolf opted to veto the fiscal code, which included a fair funding formula for education spending, language authorizing businesses to receive tax credits for their donations to private school scholarship organizations, and state funding reimbursing school districts for construction and renovation costs.
Lawmakers responded to the governor's veto by passing a stripped-down version of the fiscal code—this time with strong bipartisan support and veto-proof majorities. Apparently Wolf saw the writing on the wall and decided to refrain from yet another veto.
Thanks to passage of the fiscal code, education spending above 2014-15 levels will be distributed through a rational formula that accounts for student enrollment. This formula includes recommendations presented by CF in testimony to the Basic Education Funding Commission.
Ideally, the formula would apply to the entire Basic Education line item—not only the new education spending—but the fiscal code remains a step in the right direction. Certainly, the formula is an improvement over Wolf's preferred funding scheme which funneled millions to Philadelphia, Chester-Upland, and Wilkinsburg at the expense of 423 other districts.
Further, the finalized fiscal code allows businesses that made donations to the state's popular scholarship tax credit programs to utilize their tax credits in either 2015 or 2016. Recall that last year the Wolf administration put a freeze on the scholarship programs—claiming student hostages and causing confusion for participating businesses. The technical amendment in the code will reduce administrative headaches for businesses and allow more students to receive scholarships.
A no-tax increase state budget, combined with a fiscal code that protects students, is a crucial victory for families and businesses in the commonwealth.

Take the Budget off Autopilot
As Pennsylvania inches closer to another budget battle, you're likely to hear the term "structural deficit" used more often.
The term is defined as a multi-year shortfall between projected spending and revenue figures. Projected is emphasized because neither the spending or revenue figures are set in stone. They are estimates from the Independent Fiscal Office (IFO) that assume lawmakers make no changes to state programs.
The IFO estimates assume state government will carry over all spending from the prior year. They also include new costs associated with inflation, public employee compensation, and an increase in the service population.
Essentially, the IFO produces estimates for a budget running on autopilot. No extensive review of programs exists on an annual basis. How can working Pennsylvanians be expected to pay higher taxes when state budgeting permits spending to grow largely unchecked?
Moreover, tax increases could prove counterproductive. They may exacerbate Pennsylvania's already high tax burden, thereby hindering job growth and driving more residents out of the state.
Fewer taxpayers depress revenue collections, making it harder for lawmakers to balance the state's books—especially if spending programs are left unreformed. Just ask residents of New Jersey, who are now facing a budget deficit simply because one wealthy individual moved out.
To avoid this nightmare scenario, a rigorous review of the nearly $76 billion state budget is needed. CF has already identified a list cost-savings measures which would redesign government to help keep state and local budgets in balance.
Government must utilize every dollar it has before taking more from taxpayers. Anything less would be a disservice to the people who work hard everyday to make sure their own budgets are balanced.
Five Ways to Avoid Another Budget Hostage Crisis
The state budget impasse may be over, but Pennsylvanians are still reeling from Gov. Wolf's budget vetoes.
The Times-Tribune reports the Women's Resource Center of Scranton, which serves domestic violence victims, couldn't fill three open positions during the impasse and has paid thousands of dollars in interest fees on a line of credit.
School districts did not escape unscathed either. According to the Auditor General's office, districts borrowed $1 billion and incurred $40-$50 million in interest and fees. The totals could be higher when the office issues a new report on borrowing costs later this month.
Acknowledging the needless disruptions causing headaches around the state, the governor approved some funding back in December, saying, "We're now at a point where I don't want to hold the children of Pennsylvania hostage...." But the damage was done.
Logos Academy, a private school serving primarily low-income kids in York, was forced to start a fundraiser to replace the funds they lost as a result of the governor's indefensible delay of EITC scholarships.
Unfortunately, under current law, politicians can use non-profits and schools as leverage to advance their political agenda. This needs to end. People should not be used as political pawns.
Before 2016-17 budget negotiations heat up, lawmakers should prioritize one of the following bills to protect Pennsylvanians from the consequences of another budget stalemate:
- HB 1410 – Provides appropriations based on the amounts authorized in the previous year's budget.
- HB 232 – Amends Pennsylvania's Constitution to provide appropriations based on the amounts authorized in the prior year's budget.
- SB 807 – Authorizes funding for education on the payment schedule agreed to in the prior year. (A Senate committee passed SB807 on a bipartisan basis yesterday.)
- SB 326 – Amends Pennsylvania's Constitution to require the state to maintain 80 percent of General Fund appropriations if a budget is not signed by the June 30 deadline.
- SB 1129 – Provides a monthly appropriation to the human services and education departments. Travel would be restricted while this law is in effect, and a moratorium placed on per diems and expense reimbursements.
In addition to protecting Pennsylvanians, these "default budget" options would prevent any governor from creating and using a budget crisis to ignore the Pennsylvania Constitution and state law.
When the Department of Corrections ran out of money to operate state prisons, Gov. Wolf requested spending above what was appropriated. Likewise, the administration distributed large amounts of education funding to a handful of struggling urban districts in direct violation of the law.
Governing on a whim is irresponsible, and if left unchecked, could set a precedent for future governors who believe the law is an inconvenience to be ignored rather than instructions to be followed.
Wolf's False Choice
If lawmakers don't raise taxes, Pennsylvanians should brace for drastic cuts to education and human services. This myth is promoted endlessly by the Wolf Administration to justify taking more out of the pockets of working people.
The administration offers this false choice in the context of the state's projected budget deficit, which admittedly has credit rating agencies worried. The agencies warnings shouldn't be ignored, but they also shouldn't serve as cover for increasing Pennsylvanians' already high tax burden.
As Majority Leader Jake Corman pointed out last week, there are two ways to close a budget deficit: raise revenue or cut spending. The latter is preferable and possible without dramatically reducing funding for education and human services.
That's not to say reforming the education and welfare systems is unnecessary. We need to rescue students from violent and failing schools. We need to fix a system that traps people in a cycle of poverty. However, these are not the only areas where reforms can help improve lives and save taxpayers' money.
Other areas ripe for reform include economic development or corporate welfare programs. CF has called for eliminating the almost $700 million in corporate welfare found in the operating budget. If a recent Independent Fiscal Office (IFO) report is any indication, the full cost of special subsidies is probably much higher.
The IFO's report on corporate welfare, or what they call economic development incentives, identified a number of programs not included in our corporate welfare tally. Here are just a few:
- Infrastructure Technology Assistance Program (Cost: $1,750,000) – Provides grants to Lehigh University to help the state and companies increase operating efficiency.
- Alternative Fuels Funding (Cost: $9,231,000) – Awards grants to cover the costs of installing, upgrading, retrofitting, or purchasing alternative fuel equipment, facilities or vehicles.
- Life Sciences Greenhouses (Cost: $3,000,000) – Funds biotech and medical device startups and helps connect them with investors and experts.
Should taxpayers continue to fund these programs when the state's facing serious fiscal challenges? The governor believes so. And he is willing to break a major campaign promise to not only sustain corporate welfare spending but increase it.
If Gov. Wolf's policies prevail, Pennsylvania will continue to face a structural deficit and Pennsylvania's long history of sub par economic growth will be the norm.
Fortunately, the future isn't set in stone. We can change course and embrace an idea proven to raise the standard of living for billions of people. But it takes an act of will. Do we have it?
Rhetoric vs. Reality
Pennsylvania's nine-month budget saga has concluded, but not everyone is pleased with the ending. The Philadelphia Inquirer published a caustic editorial criticizing state lawmakers for failing to surrender to the governor's unreasonable budget demands.
Rather than providing clarity, the partisan editorial adds to the mountain of misinformation casting a shadow over the budget debate. For example, the editorial board writes,
Gov. Wolf has succumbed to Republican obstruction and agreed to a plan that keeps the state in the fast lane toward fiscal instability and educational decline.
Far from being obstructionists, Republicans advanced numerous balanced budgets, liquor privatization, and pension reform. The governor is the one clinging to the status quo. His insistence on higher taxes and spending will chase more people out of the state, leaving fewer taxpayers to cover the growing costs of government. Does this sound like fiscal stability?
But tax increases are necessary, some say, to stave off educational decline. The truth is more complicated. No correlation exists between higher education spending and educational outcomes. Lack of funding is not the problem. Misplaced control is the problem. Pennsylvania's educational system will improve when parents, not government officials, are in control of education.
The editorial continues:
Of the many disappointments of this budget, the greatest is its failure to address the state's structural deficit, the stark difference between the state's spending and receipts. This deepening hole, expected to approach $2 billion next year, is sapping the state's ability to function.
Leaving aside the hyperbolic ending, the board's preferred plan does not eliminate the deficit despite including a $2.3 billion tax increase over two years. Furthermore, if the state is facing a deficit, adding billions in new spending makes little sense. Why add new bills if the state cannot pay its old ones?
In keeping with its partisan tone, the board writes,
That seems to be of no concern to the legislature's least reasonable Republicans, who can return to a never-ending campaign trail to gleefully proclaim that this budget raises no taxes. But the problem is that it does raise taxes. Local property taxes throughout the state are bound to rise because the state is failing to properly fund schools, leaving districts to make up the difference.
Leading readers to believe lawmakers have no alternatives to tax hikes is disingenous. Reforms like voter referendums, school choice, and mandate relief can ensure education funding, which is at record levels, is spent more efficiently.
Finally, the board attempts to paint the governor as a reasonable negotiator who can't get anywhere with obstinate Republicans:
This budget doesn't address the looming pension crisis or reform the state's absurd grip on wine and spirits sales, supposed Republican priorities that, despite belated and begrudging concessions by the Democratic governor, remain as untouched as Wolf's agenda.
These "concessions" were token at best. Republican legislators preferred a pension plan that moved all new public employees into a 401k plan. The governor said no. On liquor, they requested complete privatization of the system. The governor said no.
After having their top two priorities rejected, the legislature still increased spending by more than $880 million, with $230 million added for education—the governor's top priority. Republican lawmakers passed these increases even though many preferred reductions in government spending.
Nevertheless, the 2015-16 budget impasse is history. Focus will now turn to the 2016-17 budget and lawmakers will have another opportunity to redesign government so that working people aren't harmed by the consquences of overspending.
The Final Piece of Budget Business in Limbo
After nine months of gridlock, Gov. Tom Wolf finally surrendered his 2015 quest for higher taxes on families and small businesses. On Monday morning, Pennsylvania will enjoy a completed state budget. Finally.
But the governor isn't putting down his veto pen.
Lost in yesterday's headlines was Wolf's promise to veto the fiscal code, HB 1327, which provides instructions for spending state funds. In January, CF identified dozens of earmarks tucked away in the fiscal code, but the legislation was, on balance, a winner for jobs and students alike.
Lawmakers used the fiscal code to implement a fair education funding formula, protect private school scholarships, and authorize reimbursement for school construction costs. The fiscal code also pushed back against President Obama's energy tax on coal and expansive regulations on natural gas.
Chris Comisac at Capitolwire (paywall) explains Wolf's opposition:
The Fiscal Code bill also contained a new funding formula that would have been used to drive out the $150 million in added basic education funding and a $2.5 billion school construction borrowing plan. That borrowing plan would have delivered construction reimbursements, through the state's PlanCon program, to school districts throughout the state that have been on a waiting list to receive that money.
Wolf spokesman Jeff Sheridan said the PlanCon borrowing also prompted Wolf's veto, with Sheridan describing the plan being "prohibitively costly to issue due to inflated debt costs resulting from the lack of any concrete steps in the current budget to address the structural deficit."
Sheridan's response is strange, considering Wolf agreed to PlanCon borrowing as part of last year's budget framework. In November, the administration was on-board with the school construction plan—and now, in March, they argue it will be "prohibitively costly."
Setting aside the administration's shoddy logic, districts awaiting PlanCon dollars will be on hold until a fiscal code is approved—yet another instance of Wolf refusing to release education funding.
In addition to construction costs, Wolf's impending veto has implications for how much state funding each school district will receive. Kevin McCorry of NewsWorks has the details:
Because the fiscal code acts as a roadmap for how education money is divided, Republicans say that if Wolf follows through on that veto, he will effectively keep new spending in limbo.
"You can't spend that $150 million without a fiscal code," said Jenn Kocher, spokeswoman for Senate Republicans.
The Wolf administration disputes that, saying that it will unilaterally distribute funding "in the most appropriate manner possible."
Wolf certainly has experience unilaterally doling out education dollars—this is exactly what he did in January when he approved a partial-year state budget. At the time, Wolf thumbed his nose at a fair funding formula, instead funneling money disproportionately to school districts in Philadelphia, Chester-Upland, and Wilkinsburg.
This is precisely why a fiscal code is crucial—it restrains the governor from political gamesmanship and ensures fairness for all students in the commonwealth.

Victory Over Wolf Tax Hikes
Pennsylvania's 267 day budget impasse has finally come to an end...with a taxpayer victory!
HB 1801 will become law without Tom Wolf's signature. The governor refuses to sign the budget, but he won't veto it, either. So HB 1801 will take effect on Monday morning.
The $30 billion budget contains NO tax increases and spends an additional $200 million on education.
For nine months, lawmakers withstood immense pressure to raise taxes. Take a minute to thank your lawmaker for standing firm and recognizing there is no appetite for broad-based tax increases on Pennsylvanians.
CF President and CEO Matt Brouillette cheered:
Today is a victory for taxpayers who will be spared crushing tax hikes, for students and teachers who will get the funding they've been pleading for, and for all Pennsylvanians, who now have a budget that spends responsibly.
Attention now turns to Wolf's 2016-17 budget proposal, which calls for the largest spending increase in 25 years.
Follow the steps below to send a quick email to let lawmakers know that you appreciate the men and women at the Capitol that have stood strong for taxpayers this year.

Support for Wolf's Hostage-Taking Is Breaking
Last week, Gov. Wolf indicated he plans to fully veto yet another budget. He said if schools face a "short term shutdown," that could be "a good thing."
Now, he's realizing he's alone on that island.
Yesterday, Wolf said he will take a little more time "to further review the spending plan to make sure 'it is as out of balance as I've been saying it is.'" That is, Gov. Wolf is not sure his rhetoric and internet memes are actually true. (For more on how this budget balances, check out my interview with Fox 43.)
More importantly, he's getting a lot of pressure from House and Senate Democrats to back off and sign all or most of the budget (using a line item veto) to keep schools open. Likewise, school officials from across the state are calling on Wolf to end this gamesmanship.
If he insists on a veto, there may even be enough legislative support to override it, said Washington County Democrat Rep. Pete Daley.
It's time to move this thing forward … I'm almost positive that if he vetoes it, we have enough Democrats to override his veto.
On the Senate side, Senator John Yudichak, a Luzerne County Democrat who voted against the budget last week, told the Times-Leader if Wolf vetoes the bill, he will vote to override.
As I pointed out last week, Wolf has little to gain with a budget veto, and support for his radical agenda is cracking.
It's time for Wolf to stop holding students hostage to his demand for higher taxes.

What Is Wolf's Plan?
In his 2015 budget address, Gov. Wolf stated, "But if you don't agree with my ideas, here is my request: please come with your own ideas. It's not good enough to say no and continue with the same old same old."
Unfortunately, Wolf has become the expert at 'just saying no'.
Yesterday, he threatened to veto the balanced, no-tax increase budget passed by the legislature (with bipartisan support in the both the House and Senate).
This would mark Wolf's 10th veto. If he vetoes the Fiscal Code and bills funding Penn State, Temple, Pitt, Lincoln, and University of Pennsylvania, as he has threatened, the count rises to 16.
But while Wolf is busy saying no, he doesn't offer viable solutions.
- Wolf complains of a structural deficit, but spending $800 million more won't fix it.
- His 2016-17 budget included a retroactive income tax hike of 11 percent so he could spend more this year. Every person would pay back taxes on income earned since January 1. This is simply never going to happen.
- It is already March 17—more than 70 percent of the fiscal year is over. There is no way to raise and collect enough taxes by June 30 to pay for Wolf's spending wish list. To quote Wolf: "The math just doesn't work."
What does Wolf hope to achieve by vetoing yet another budget?
We aren't alone in questioning Wolf's strategy of holding schoolchildren hostage to maintain pressure for more funding. School officials are also speaking out:
- Charleroi school superintendent Ed Zelich: "We feel like we're being held hostage."
- Terry DeCarbo, superintendent of the Sto-Rox School District: "Our students are being held victims to this … It's time to really put the students first and make a decision."
- Bart Rocco, superintendent of the Elizabeth Forward School District: "We continue to plea for this to be settled and move on."
- Mark Miller, school director in the Centennial School District and president-elect of the Pennsylvania School Boards Association: "This is a plague that the governor has released on public education, and it's not necessary. We're all going to catch the disease."
Even some Democratic legislators are questioning Wolf's game plan. From Capitolwire (paywall):
"I was dissatisfied with the results of the meeting on Monday for a multitude of reasons," said Rep. Gerald Mullery, D-Luzerne. "The main reason I was dissatisfied with the meeting was I had hoped going in we would come out with a clear plan for the path forward, and in my opinion – speaking solely for myself – we didn't have that, and that was truly discouraging to me."
With a 10th veto looming, we agree with Wolf on one thing: It's not good enough to just say no.

Christian Louboutin Artemis Flower Shoulder Bag
|By: Tanya
Based on the success of earlier versions of Artemis, Christian Louboutin has released a new style just in time for spring. His Artemis Flower Shoulder Bag is decidedly daintier (and far less sinister looking) than its spiky-shouldered counterpart from a year or so ago. The strap, adorned with a flowery scarf-like fabric, is really the star here – the bag itself is actually pretty underwhelming, which is disappointing. It's almost like a painting that's only been half completed! Available for $1695 at Neiman Marcus.

Maxine Mansker
Tuesday, October 9, 2012
Maxine Mansker, dearly loved wife of the late Nathaniel Mansker; mother of David Mansker of Port Hueneme, Calif., and Judy Ogne of Santa Rosa, Calif.; grandmother of five; and great-grandmother of six; slipped gently from this earth into the arms of Jesus Sunday, Sept. 30, 2012, following a brief illness. She was 89.
She was born Aug. 9, 1923, to Ernest and Mary Summers Ford in Whitewater.
The Mansker family moved to Los Angeles in 1956. She had been a resident of Sonoma County since 1990.
Maxine cherished her family, helped others tirelessly, crafted blue ribbon quilts, baked incredible pies and lived to honor God through service in her church and Gideons International.
She is also survived by brothers George Ford of Longtown, Mo., Bill (Ruth Ann) Ford of Cape Girardeau, Jim Ford of Kelso, Mo., and many nieces and nephews who loved her dearly.
She was preceded in death by her parents; husband; and brothers Ralph, Glen and Rob Ford, and Bob Sommers.
Graveside service was held Friday in Southern California, with a memorial celebration to follow later this month in Santa Rosa.
The Ford family celebrated Maxine's life with a memorial service at their family reunion in Cape Girardeau on Sunday.

Ricky Stenhouse Jr. won the Kansas Lottery 300, a NASCAR Nationwide Series race.
KANSAS CITY, Kan. — Ricky Stenhouse Jr. rallied from two laps down at Kansas Speedway to salvage his points day.
Then he stole a victory, as well.
Stenhouse, the defending NASCAR Nationwide Series champion, lucked into his sixth victory of the season Saturday when leader Kyle Busch ran out of fuel heading into the final turn. A late caution extended the race by six laps, and it ran the fuel tanks of several cars at the front of the field dry.
Because Stenhouse ran into Joey Logano early in the Kansas Lottery 300, dropping him two laps down during his stops for repairs, he was on a different pit sequence and had plenty of fuel to make it to the end.

"I thought the race was over for us (after the collision)," Stenhouse said. "I thought I had killed it for us."
Busch, the leader on the restart, jumped out to a seemingly comfortable lead. But his tank ran dry as he exited the third turn and Stenhouse cruised past for the victory in NASCAR's second-tier series.
"I saw Kyle and he was really shaking it down the back straightaway, trying to make sure it had a lot of fuel and I thought it was good to go," Stenhouse said. "But right in the center it ran out and I was able to sneak by him on the outside and get the win. That was exciting."
Austin Dillon finished second to clinch the manufacturer championship for Chevrolet, and Logano was third. Attendance was 63,000.
Elliott Sadler, who was fourth, leads Stenhouse by six points in the standings with three races remaining.
Danica Patrick finished 10th — her third top-10 of the season.

Getting Started with mod_security
Listing 3. Some Custom Filters
SecFilterSelective REQUEST_METHOD ↪"!^(GET|HEAD)$" chain SecFilterSelective HTTP_Content-Type ↪"!(^application/x-www-form-urlencoded$|^multipart/form-data;)" SecFilterSelective REQUEST_METHOD "^POST$" chain SecFilterSelective HTTP_Content-Length "^$" SecFilterSelective HTTP_Transfer-Encoding "!^$" </IfModule>
Note the blank lines between filter groups. I inserted these to illustrate that appending the string chain to the end of a filter links it to the next one, such that the last filter in the chain will be evaluated only if the request first matches all prior filters in the chain. In this sense, chain is a little like an if-then statement.
The first pair of filters in Listing 3 checks to see whether the request is not a GET or a HEAD request; if not, it then checks to see if the request contains anything other than form data (content-type "application/x-www-form-urlencoded") or an uploaded file (encoding-type "multipart/form-data"), which are the only two types of encoding mod_security can parse. If both filters match, that is, the request isn't form data or a file, the request is denied (see SecFilterDefaultAction in Listing 1).
Note that our actual filter values ("!^(GET|HEAD)$" and "!(^application/x-www-form-urlencoded$|^multipart/form-data;)") are regular expressions. It's impossible for you to create your own custom filters unless you're comfortable with regular expressions; if you aren't, you may want to see Jeffrey Friedl's book Mastering Regular Expressions, 2nd edition (O'Reilly Media, 2002).
The second pair of filters in Listing 3 first checks to see if the request is a POST request. If so, it then checks to see whether the HTTP parameter Content-Length is set to null; if so, the request is rejected. POST requests are supposed to have proper lengths; if the length is null, this almost certainly suggests an attack of some kind.
Our last example filter, which unlike the first two is a single-line filter, protects us from non-null values for the HTTP parameter Transfer-Encoding. In other words, we want Transfer-Encoding to be set to null in HTTP requests, because the most common thing to set this to is chunked, which is practically never necessary but has been associated with attacks in the past.
Finally, we end with an </IfModule tag to indicate that we're done specifying mod_security parameters. In practice, the statements in Listings 1–3 would be in a single contiguous block; I split them into three groups only for readability.
If you prefer to maintain your mod_security settings in a special file, such as mod_security.conf, you can use an include statement within httpd.conf or apache2.conf, for example:
Include /etc/apache2/mod_security.conf
Once you've configured mod_security in httpd.conf or apache2.conf, you're ready to enable it. In the case of Apache 1.x, your httpd.conf needs to contain the line:
LoadModule security_module libexec/mod_security.so
and possibly also:
AddModule mod_security.c
If you run Apache 2.x, your apache2.conf file needs the line:
LoadModule security_module modules/mod_security.so
This is true unless you run Debian and installed its mod_security deb packages, in which case you need to run only the following command (as root) from a command prompt:
a2enmod mod-security
Once mod_security is enabled, you need to restart Apache in order to load the module. After you do this, be sure to test your Web applications to make sure you didn't Denial-of-Service attack yourself via your mod_security configuration!
With that, you should be ready to explore some more-advanced filters that watch specifically for requests that your site shouldn't expect to see. I strongly encourage you to take this next step; although I think this article should have given you a good starting point, you can find examples of much more powerful filters in the "ModSecurity For Apache User Guide" and other documents on the modsecurity.org Web site. Good luck, and stay safe!

In modern computer systems, privacy and security are mandatory. However, connections from the outside over public networks automatically imply risks. One easily available solution to avoid eavesdroppers' attempts is SSH. But, its wide adoption during the past 21 years has made it a target for attackers, so hardening your system properly is a must.
Additionally, in highly regulated markets, you must comply with specific operational requirements, proving that you conform to standards and even that you have included new mandatory authentication methods, such as two-factor authentication. In this ebook, I discuss SSH and how to configure and manage it to guarantee that your network is safe, your data is secure and that you comply with relevant regulations.Get the Guide

The gorgeous (and tall) designer Rebecca Minkoff showed her fall 2009 accessories collection yesterday—and her signature zippers, studs, and exotic skins were standouts. The bride-to-be wore an Isabel Marant top, J Brand jeans, and Dolce Vita heels (which she got for under $100 at Urban Outfitters). Minkoff's own apparel collection, new for spring 2009, is filled with wearable pieces that feel quite like her handbags—sexy, simple, but with a twist. The Morning After Dress, named for one of her most popular purses, combines comfort and sex appeal. Wear with heels for evening, or throw a cotton tee underneath and dress down with flat sandals for day. The cotton LBD has a hidden bonus—three percent spandex for a little built-in Spanx action.

Vocalist Arijit Mahalanabis, founder of the Seattle Indian Music Academy and former student of Shantha Benegal, performs a concert of dhrupad, khayal and thumri traditions Saturday. Mahalanabis' recital is part of Dhrupad Days, a program of workshops and performances presented by the Dhrupad Music Institute of America and Cornish College of the Arts. Dhrupad is an ancient vocal tradition in Hindustani music that has a local history going back to the 1970s, when Usad Zia Mohiuddin Dagar spent time in Seattle.
Other upcoming events of Dhrupad Days include a three-day workshop, beginning Thursday, by renowned dhrupad vocalist Ramakant Gundecha; a lecture-demonstration by Mahalanabis July 5; a concert by American string virtuoso Jody Stecher on the sursringar July 6; and a Day of Dhrupad, featuring performances and demonstrations by Benegal and others July 7.
The Mahalanabis recital is at 7 p.m. Saturday at the Ethnic Cultural Theater, 3940 Brooklyn Ave. N.E., Seattle $10-$15 (http://dhrupad.com/event/dhrupad-days-2013).

Attention yield-hungry investors: don't overlook the newest source of steady, juicy dividends -- technology stocks. The problem for exchange-traded fund investors, though, is that many of those stocks aren't in the largest, most common dividend-focused ETFs.
Dividend-paying technology stocks are not the novel investment they once were, but the trend demands more attention from both investors and the ETF industry. Longtime holdout Apple AAPL -1.1494252873563218% Apple Inc. U.S.: Nasdaq USD93.74 -1.09 -1.1494252873563218% /Date(1461963144034-0500)/ Volume (Delayed 15m) : 60528806 P/E Ratio 10.429365962180201 Market Cap 519424204257.98 Dividend Yield 2.431740614334471% Rev. per Employee 2057980 More quote details and news » (ticker: AAPL) instituted a dividend policy earlier this year, and a mid-August dividend increase by Cisco Systems CSCO -1.6273247496423462% Cisco Systems Inc. U.S.: Nasdaq USD27.505 -0.455 -1.6273247496423462% /Date(1461963144298-0500)/ Volume (Delayed 15m) : 25629845 P/E Ratio 13.581683168316832 Market Cap 140698101174.206 Dividend Yield 3.7907782030253325% Rev. per Employee 690337 More quote details and news » (CSCO) quietly vaulted technology past consumer staples as the biggest dividend-contributing sector in the Standard & Poor's 500 (in terms of dollars paid), according to S&P index analyst Howard Silverblatt. That's huge, and for income investors, technology is worth a closer look. The sector, especially dividend-paying companies, may be more trustworthy than higher-yielding stocks that reflect companies in trouble. They're likely also a better bet in a bull market than utilities or consumer-staples companies.
But many of today's ETFs are based on indexes that favor (or require) dividend growth and longevity of payouts. Their other merits aside, they're structured in a way that means these technology stocks won't be included for years, or even decades. For instance, the index driving the $9.3 billion SPDR S&P Dividend SDY -0.25210084033613445% SPDR S&P Dividend ETF U.S.: NYSE Arca 80.716 -0.204 -0.25210084033613445% /Date(1461963136614-0500)/ Volume (Delayed 15m) : 1152393 P/E Ratio N/A Market Cap N/A Dividend Yield 2.2789085948158254% Rev. per Employee N/A More quote details and news » ETF (SDY), which yields 3.1%, requires constituent stocks to raise payouts annually for 20 years, meaning the earliest Apple can join is 2032, notes Michael Johnston, co-founder of Chicago research and analysis firm ETF Database. The $11.7 billion Vanguard Dividend Appreciation VIG -0.4667731236948778% Vanguard Dividend Appreciation ETF U.S.: NYSE Arca 81.03 -0.38 -0.4667731236948778% /Date(1461963078320-0500)/ Volume (Delayed 15m) : 566779 P/E Ratio N/A Market Cap N/A Dividend Yield 2.026317415209736% Rev. per Employee N/A More quote details and news » ETF (VIG), yielding 2.1%, requires a decade of dividend increases for admission. Not coincidentally, both funds' technology exposure can be measured in the single digits.
A fund launched by First Trust Advisors this month aims to fill the niche. The First Trust Nasdaq Technology Dividend Index TDIV -1.5071511403169695% First Trust ETF VI NASDAQ Technology Dividend Index Fund U.S.: Nasdaq 25.4801 -0.3899 -1.5071511403169695% /Date(1461963108185-0500)/ Volume (Delayed 15m) : 76308 P/E Ratio N/A Market Cap N/A Dividend Yield 3.7552494210918796% Rev. per Employee N/A More quote details and news » Fund (TDIV), made up of 80% technology stocks and 20% telecommunications, devotes the heaviest weightings to dividend-oriented technology companies Qualcomm QCOM -3.158641856896221% Qualcomm Inc. U.S.: Nasdaq USD50.4834 -1.6466 -3.158641856896221% /Date(1461963144768-0500)/ Volume (Delayed 15m) : 8196215 P/E Ratio 15.908517350157728 Market Cap 76574542555.2987 Dividend Yield 4.2038469165179455% Rev. per Employee 685273 More quote details and news » (QCOM), Microsoft (MSFT), Cisco, and International Business Machines IBM -0.7547426395593935% International Business Machines Corp. U.S.: NYSE USD145.96 -1.11 -0.7547426395593935% /Date(1461963141518-0500)/ Volume (Delayed 15m) : 3163174 P/E Ratio 11.056380721430736 Market Cap 141316629355.811 Dividend Yield 3.838245373543523% Rev. per Employee 213989 More quote details and news » (IBM). The current yield of the index is 3.3%, following a 3.5% yield in 2011. The fund's exposure to any single technology stock is capped at 8%. Apple will be eligible next year. First Trust built the fund at the suggestion of Baker Avenue Asset Management not long after Apple's new dividend policy prompted new thinking about tech, explains First Trust ETF strategist Ryan Issakainen. The fund "fits a need that is severely lacking in most equity income strategies," Issakainen says. While telecom provides part of the dividend heft, chip stocks, at 28% of the portfolio, also pack a punch. Intel INTC -2.7483124397299905% Intel Corp. U.S.: Nasdaq USD30.255 -0.855 -2.7483124397299905% /Date(1461963145085-0500)/ Volume (Delayed 15m) : 29123936 P/E Ratio 12.912393162393162 Market Cap 146758344222.046 Dividend Yield 3.441999007115671% Rev. per Employee 524473 More quote details and news » (INTC) yields 3.5%.

A technology ETF that yields 3% could be a game changer for investors who want yield but don't want another batch of utilities or consumer staples. For instance, the Consumer Staples Select Sector SPDR XLP -0.13356229727151306% Consumer Staples Select Sector SPDR ETF U.S.: NYSE Arca 52.34 -0.07 -0.13356229727151306% /Date(1461963139202-0500)/ Volume (Delayed 15m) : 10516969 P/E Ratio N/A Market Cap N/A Dividend Yield 2.0756789886994826% Rev. per Employee N/A More quote details and news » Fund (XLP), which tracks dividend-investor favorites like Procter & Gamble PG 0.37612838515546637% Procter & Gamble Co.

WWE Mentions UFC on RAW, Possible Legends House Announcement, John Cena
by Amish Patel - April 10, 2012
– John Cena wrote the following after last night's RAW Supershow in Washington, DC:
"Interesting #raw tonight. Make sure u check out @Syfy #DreamMachines tomorrow after #smackdown"
Cena will be appearing on a future episode of Dream Machines, not the premiere tonight. The show debuts after WWE's live SmackDown special tonight on SyFy.
– Word at last week's RAW Supershow was that UFC was not to be mentioned on WWE TV or anywhere else. Something changed between last week and this week's show as Michael Cole first mentioned UFC on the USA Network before RAW hit the air last night. Cole and Lesnar both mentioned UFC by name during last night's broadcast.
– Speculation is that WWE may announce Legends House tonight at the live SmackDown where the entire cast will be in attendance. If nothing is announced for the reality show, that likely means that SyFy wasn't interested in carrying it.

German Ad Campaign Prank Is Hilariously Mean
German deodorant maker Nivea is behind one of the cruelest (and, we'll be honest, funniest) advertising stunts ever. Here's the set up: The prank's victim is an unsuspecting traveler waiting for a flight at an airport. While they wait, actors with the ad agency covertly snap pictures of them, and within minutes, the picture is used on TV news reports and magazine covers while their description is read over the loud speaker warning that the "wanted suspect" is "armed and dangerous." As you would expect, awkward hilarity ensues. The whole thing is eventually revealed to be part of Nivea's "Stress Project," because antiperspirant helps deal with stress—get it? …

- Actor Allusion: Takahiro Sakurai (Krusty) is once again playing a handsome, badass warrior trying to woo a princess to achieve his long-term political goal.
- Ascended Fanon: Mamare has gone on record several times to state that, if he likes a particular bit of fanfiction done on the series, he'd be more than willing to add its details to official canon.
- A notable example is the fanfic D.D.D. Diaries, which details the command structure of the eponymous guild, as well as its personalities, such as the female assassin in the skimpy outfit that appears to the right of Krusty during the assault on the Goblin General. Who also happens to be a G.I.R.L..
- Hien comes from a fan fic. Most of Crescent Moon's members in the anime were taken from Honey Moon Logs, just like how several members of the West Wind Brigade were from their guild's spin-off manga.
- Aside from the nine members who were trapped in the Apocalypse, most of the Debauchery Tea Party's members' names and descriptions came from a fan book.
- An excellent example of this would be the players who joined Akatsuki◊ in the anime taking down the Akiba murderer. Anyone who wasn't Akatsuki, Raynesia, Rieze, Mikakage, or Tatara, had a manga spinoff of their own (Crescent Moon, West Wind Brigade) was either a fanfiction character (up to and including the missing D.D.D. Der Klauen member Kushi Yamata) or a transplant from another part of the franchise (Seine, who's a character in the Log Horizon REPLAY books, and Endou Akiba from the tabletop RPG).
- Dueling Shows: Log Horizon vs. Sword Art Online.
- Fan Nickname:
- "Tankbro" and "Brotsugu" for Naotsugu.
- Minori is sometimes called "The Villain With A Smile," because she's The Apprentice to "The Villain In Glasses".
- Due to Jovan Jackson's (an African-American) acting re-imagining Nyanta from a upper-class gentleman to a literal cool cat, so to speak, some fans have taken to affectionately refer to the dubbed version as "Sexy Black Nyanta".
- Scrub Horizon: The Cast Herd of the junior members of the Log Horizon guild (Tohya, Minori, Isuzu, and Rudy), along with Serara (who's part of the herd despite being a member of the Crescent Moon Alliance).
- No Export for You: So far, only the West Wind Brigade spinoff has been slated for international release. Everything else, meaning the other spinoffs (Kanami's side story, Nyanta's Recipe) are unavailable to read for Western followers of the series.
- Now Averted as the light novels have been licensed by Yen Press.
- Similarly Named Works: Not an exact case of it, but a French MMORPG-centered franchise named Noob happens to take place in a game named Horizon.
- X Meets Y: .hack meets Spice and Wolf.

Volvo Ocean Race team Groupama 4 prepare for tough conditions
by Franck Cammas on 18 Mar 2012
Groupama Sailing Team, skippered by Franck Cammas from France in tough conditions, at the start of leg 5 from Auckland, New Zealand to Itajai, Brazil, during the Volvo Ocean Race 2011-12. Paul Todd/Volvo Ocean Race©
Volvo Ocean Race team Groupama 4 set off on the fifth leg of racing, a 6,705-mile journey from Auckland (New Zealand) to Itajai (Brazil), in around twenty knots of breeze. This leg of the Volvo Ocean Race is the main leg of this round the world and includes the famous passage around Cape Horn!
Today, at 1400 hours local time, the New Zealand crowds were out in force for the start of the fifth leg of the Volvo Ocean Race, beneath overcast skies, turning rainy, and a good westerly breeze. Mike Sanderson got off to the best start and Sanya led the fleet along the preliminary course off the Royal New Zealand Yacht Squadron and as far as Auckland Harbour Bridge, before striking out across the Hauraki Gulf to get offshore. Ahead of them lies the longest and hardest of the legs that make up this circumnavigation of the globe, with the legendary passage around Cape Horn in around eight days' time. It will be a magical and crucial moment for the crew of Groupama 4, more than half of which have already negotiated Drake Passage. Indeed Thomas Coville has one of the most impressive backgrounds in this edition of the crewed round the world race with no less than eight Cape Horn roundings to his credit!
As is the case prior to every offshore leg, and to the great delight of the spectators, both on land and at sea, the Volvo Ocean Race fleet kicked off with a coastal course. Prudence is the name of the game on the looped circuit along the narrow channel off Auckland. Damaging the boat or a sail at this stage could call into question how the upcoming leg unfolds. Arriving early at the line, the French boat wasn't able to power off the start, which meant she wasn't able to make up the lost ground on her rivals over the short bay course. However, four hours after the start, Franck Cammas' crew were up into second place, just 0.4 miles shy of the frontrunner.
The start off Auckland's harbour was a lively one, brushed by around twenty knots of breeze. The exit towards the Pacific will be boisterous in a breeze which is set to build the further offshore the VO-70s get. A depression has settled in the North of New Zealand and the wind is set to pick up to over thirty knots as it shifts round to the South-West over the coming hours. As such the sailors are preparing for a hard first night onboard. Such an introduction will impose a very tough rhythm, the wind rapidly shifting round to the North-East, picking up a messy sea on Monday morning.
Franck Cammas: 'Conditions are going to be tough tonight and tomorrow. We're going to have to pass a headland outside Auckland with a great deal of headwind, current and big seas. The first thirty-six hours will doubtless be the hardest part of this leg. We can expect wind of up to 50 knots and the accompanying seas. Over the duration of the leg, we're going to have some windy conditions, but in principle it'll be downwind. As a result it will be better than at the start, most of which is likely to be upwind in principle. With strong wind on a downwind point of sail, the boats can enjoy some fantastic surfing which, though a little stressful, will see us making some incredible speeds that will be unforgettable. The skipper's job is to set the pace for his crew. Sometimes it will be necessary to ease off the pace to avoid breaking the boat or the sails so as to be able to continue racing. This leg won't be decided at Cape Horn. It will certainly be played out after that. As such it's important to have the boat in good condition at Cape Horn for the final sprint, which will be crucial with the more changeable conditions.'
Charles Caudrelier: 'There's a little stress as the first thirty hours are going to be tough, sailing into headwinds with big seas. We'll be fearful for the boat and it's not nice to set off like that. Yesterday we slept at the hotel and this evening we'll sleep in 6-metre waves, all wet, slamming along and getting tossed around. It's a stark contrast. I think this is going to be the hardest leg on a physical level. We're going to be cold with the water temperature dropping to 5°C. It's going to be very fast and we're going to have 12 very difficult days ahead of us. The passage around Cape Horn will be the deliverance. For me this will be my first Pacific crossing. I hope there will be some enjoyable times because that's one of the reasons we're doing this. Sometimes though the proportion of enjoyment will be 10% compared with 90% suffering. Clearly we're heading off on a leg which will involve a high rate of difficulty. However, that's what gives this race the notion of challenge, adventure and extreme.'
Jean-Luc Nélias: 'I'm not familiar with this area; I'm a Cape Horn rookie, I've never been around it. It's a long leg in some tough conditions as we'll be sailing in the Southern Pacific, even though we have safety gates to push us North and help us avoid encountering icebergs. However, there's a risk that we'll come across a little bit of ice; it's cold, the winds are strong and even from today at the start and for the next 48 hours, the weather isn't far off atrocious. We won the last leg so we're keen to do as well this time. There are a lot of options from the outset, we mustn't break the boat and we have to know when to ease off the pace and decide: do we go to the South/ to the North, do we cover the fleet or not? As I speak, we're not 100% sure what we're going to do once we're out of the Hauraki Gulf.'

Postpartum doula
Comments (1)
I used one after my daughter's birth and it was the best thing I ever did. The best part about having her come (she came for two visits of two hours each on day three and day 8 after delivery) was help with breastfeeding and the reassurance that we were doing stuff right. She helped us bathe our daughter and showed us tricks for that, swaddling, etc. It was great because neither of our moms had this knowledge (or they forgot).
Also she was SO INDISPENSIBLE for breastfeeding. I met with three different lactation consultants in the hospital and had very painful feeding sessions. As soon as she helped adjust our latch the pain went from 8 to 1. It was awesome and worth every penny.
I'm guessing we'll use her again becuase you never know what you'll need with a new kiddo, right?
So, an enthusiastic YES!

I want to run a Python script from a Python script with
subprocess, and I wish to do it using the same interpreter for each of them.
I'm using virtualenv, so I'd like to do something like:
subprocess.Popen('%s script.py' % python_bin)
How do I get
python_bin ?
It should be
/usr/bin/python outside a virtualenv, and
/path/to/env/bin/python in a virtualenv.

For a smokier flavor, substitute chipotle chile powder for the cayenne.
