How to Self-Publish Your Book by Paul R. Lloyd.
Is there a book waiting to pop out of your head? Is it written but collecting electronic dust inside your computer? Maybe you wrote it, submitted it to some publishing houses or agents and for whatever reason it’s been rejected. Bottom line, if you want it published, it’s time to do it yourself. This article covers what self-publishing a business book can do for you and reviews the seven steps to self-publishing. Read more.

Illinois Tax Amnesty Coming Soon? by David Boege, CPA.
The Illinois state legislature passed a tax amnesty program that is expected to bring in $250 million in delinquent taxes to the state.  Assuming the measure becomes law, it will cover the taxable period ending after June 30, 2002 and prior to July 1, 2010.  The amnesty period itself would run for a very short period of time, beginning on October 1, 2010 and ending November 15, 2010.  Generally, all tax types (collected by the Illinois Department of Revenue) are covered by the program and the entire tax amount must be paid in full during the amnesty period. Read more.
