Jack Wilkinson, community college benefactor, dies at 96
Published: Monday, September 7, 2009 at 6:30 a.m.
Last Modified: Sunday, September 6, 2009 at 11:20 p.m.
Central Florida Community College lost a major benefactor with the death Thursday of Jack Wilkinson of Chiefland.
It was just a few months ago that Wilkinson, 96, announced that he would donate $2.5 million to build a permanent CFCC campus in the Levy County area.
It was the largest gift in the college's history, and when construction is complete on some 35 acres along U.S. 19 north of Chiefland, the campus will bear Wilkinson's name.
Wilkinson was a lifelong resident of Levy County.
Born in Chiefland in 1913, he began his education at Union School, a one-room schoolhouse in the Newtown community.
He attended graduated from Chiefland High School in 1932 and attended the University of Florida, where he earned his teaching certificate.
He taught mathematics in the Levy County school system for 45 years. He was a farmer, rancher and timber grower.
He was also a lifelong bachelor, although at the age of 95, he attested that he was "still looking."
Shortly after his community college donation was announced in June, Wilkinson told a reporter that, having always been a thrifty man, he didn't particularly need the money he'd saved over a lifetime and "it was a pleasure to be able to give it for education."
Wilkinson is survived by his nieces, Judy Perdue Peacock and Teresa Wilson.
Funeral services will be held at 11 a.m. today at Hardeetown Baptist Church.

A man used a handgun to demand money from a convenience store clerk in Clark County's Sunnyside Neighborhood early Friday morning.
A white man, described as a heavyset man in his 20s wearing a black jacket with a hood walked into the Minit Mart at 9511 N.E. 76th St. just after 5 a.m., Sgt. Duncan Hoss said.
He pointed a handgun at the clerk and took an undisclosed amount of cash from the register, Hoss said.
No one was injured.
The man reportedly left on foot, heading eastbound on 76th Street. A police canine unit searched the area, but did not find the suspect.
If anyone has any information about the crime, they are asked to call the Clark County Sheriff's Office at 360-397-6195.

Sign up for Office 365
Learn more about Office 365
I have an Office 365 client using Outlook 2010 on a Windows 7 64 bit machine whose Outlook keeps saying that it's "Updating Inbox (3.99 GB).
It always starts at 3.99 GB and starts counting down and eventually stops. It never completes. This is somehow preventing him from receiving email.
When Outlook first starts, it syncs any new email and goes back to "Updating Inbox (3.99 GB)". Any email sent to him after that is only received via OWA or on his mobile device.
I've tried reloading his profile and making sure there is only one, no difference.
I've set up his profile while logged onto his laptop under a different user, no difference.
No new Windows Updates installed prior to this issue.
Installed any pending Windows Updates, no difference.
He is able to send email fine.
Any help or ideas is greatly appreciated.
Thanks for the feedback.
Hi JuanM,
I understand you have problems using Outlook 2010 with Exchange Online.
Do you mean the new mails can't be synced to the clients' Outlook?
Did you try to set this user account in a different computer in different network environment? You can follow the steps below.
1.Create a new profile of Outlook. You can refer to this link about how to create.
2.Then you can add the Office 365 account to Outlook. Please refer the steps in this link.
Ray Yang
Yes, new mail is not being synced to the client's Outlook.
I set up his account on my PC and it does exactly the same thing.
If I set Outlook to work in Online mode, it works fine. New mail syncs perfectly.
I have a user who has the same issue. She has a huge mail file 4+ GB.
A few months ago she was on XP. The company was on exchange online.
A month ago we migrated to Office 365 version. I recently reimaged her laptop with Windows 7 Enterprise 32 bit. Now her inbox will say "Updating Inbox 3.99 GB"
If I close and reopen outlook, it may go down to 2.82GB then stop. If I close and reopen Outlook it may stay on 3.99Gb or go down again.
I have removed her profile and OST and started from scratch. No dice.
Any workarounds or anything?
thank you
Melissa, the OST is not corrupt since setting up his account on a different PC does the same thing.
John, the only workaround so far is setting Outlook to "Online mode".
I worked with a Microsoft Support Escalation Engineer who gathered some logs from Outlook. This was several days ago and I haven't heard back from him.
We migrated our organization to Office 365 last week and are experiencing this EXACT issue with numerous mailboxes/users in the office. Outlook will say "Updating Inbox" in the status bar, and it will never complete the process. During this, it also is unable to retrieve/receive new messages in the Inbox (users have to close and relaunch Outlook to see new mail messages). Users have been using OWA instead of Outlook because of this issue.
When I raised this to Microsoft Online Services support, I was advised to switch my users to Non-Cached Exchange mode. I'm currently testing this between 5-10 users before pushing it out across the organization, but I already have bandwidth concerns and concerns for users who work remotely on their laptops.
This issue seems to be occurring with users who have 1-5 GB mailboxes, and have 7000+ messages in their Inbox. The unfortunate part of this issue is that it affects the majority of our executives/managers....
Hi brgnewman,
Thanks for your reply.
I understand you submitted a Service Request.
To further troubleshooting the issue, I would like to collect the SR number. I have sent you a private message on this. It was responded in a private message with a subject of "Information Request".
Please go to the Your details section on the right side of the community site.
Click Private messages.
Click the subject title of the response to read the message.
You can reply by using the form in that display to provide the information requested.

Just to add to the pot... same problem here!
I am having no problems with Outlook 2010 on my desktop computer, but every time I start Outlook 2010 on my lapop, Office 365 insists on updating the folders, starting with a 141MB folder which it never completes.
The status bar says "This folder is up to date" but when I click on the folder the status bar shows the message "Updating (141MB)".
I don't have more than 7000 messages in my Inbox, but probably do have more that 7000 if I include all the sub-folders.
One of my main reasons for subsribing to Office 365 was to be able access my e-mails from my laptop while on tour. I head away soon and although the system has been working well I am now unable to access my new e-mails from my laptop because of this "updating" problem.... HOPELESS!
Interestingly, I just tried closing and re-opening Outlook 2010 and one e-mail came through from "Welcome to Microsoft 365 Community" although there are others that I can see with a web browser but don't find their way onto my laptop!?!
As this renders Office 365 on the laptop totally useless I (and no doubt all other users with this problem) need an urgent solution and if there is no answer we should be made aware that we need to actively seek out an alternative to Office 365 that will work.
I haven't tried recreating my profile, but it seems as if others have - to no avail!
This morning I had to switch an additional 5-10 users in our organization to Non-Cached Exchange mode because they were reporting Outlook never would finish updating their Inbox, and that they failed to receive any new emails in Outlook during the process.
Earlier today I received an email from the Microsoft Technical Support Engineer I've been working with - he wanted an update regarding the case and if Non-Cached Exchange mode was helping. When I replied back with my performance and mobility concerns, I received: "Yes I understand your concern, as this issue has been around since last week. But currently there is no update from the other team. As soon as I get any update on it, I will mail you the same."
If this is a known issue, why is this not noted on the Microsoft Online Services' Service Health portal? I've been checking this portal every few hours the past couple days and says nothing about Service DegradationInterruptions.
brgnewman, that's where I'm at right now. Non-Cached Exchange mode works and I've been told that more and more clients are having this same issue.
Last week I was guided through creating an Outlook dump using a tool named "TTTracer.exe". Today I was told to run the tool to create a smaller dump so I'm currently doing that.
Thanks for providing SR number. I noticed the support engineer send you an email about the troubleshoot steps. Please follow the steps and send the result to the engineer.
I really appreciate your understanding and patience.
Eagerly awaiting a solution for JuanM in the hope that I can start retrieving e-mails on my laptop and not keep giving our monthly data allowance a hammering with failed "Updates"!
We are having this issue with a couple of users at different clients. we've tried deleting profiles, deleting .ost files and re-creating them, you name it. we got the email from one client into O365 by way of the IMAP sync, so there were some messages above 25Mb, we've even gone so far as to pull them out of the mailbox and delete them from the deleted items folder. the other client we did a direct import of a .pst file from Outlook while online, so that should have come down without issue, but isn't.
please let us know if there is anything we can do to assist in troubleshooting.
Today I was asked to produce a txt file of my client's mailbox folder statistics (Get-Mailboxfolderstatistics) and email it back. Other than that, no other updates.
MaleXLR, have you tried configuring your Outlook for Non-Cached mode?
See the "Turn Cached Exchange Mode Off" section. That is the only way my client's Outlook connects and updates normally. He's the only user I have running non-cached mode so bandwidth is not a concern at this point. The only difference I've noticed while testing it is that his Outlook goes to "Offline" when he's off the network and wireless and stays "Offline" even after connecting to the network/internet. He just has to restart Outlook to fix this.
I'll keep you guys updated with any new info.
Following Richard Duheaume's advice from another thread suggesting moving large emails, I discovered that the only way around this and still use Outlook in a normal, cached mode was to:
1. Switch Outlook to non-cached / http / Online mode by going into Control Panel > Mail > Email Accounts > select the active O365 account > uncheck the "Use Cached Exchange Mode" and hit next and follow the steps and close out of the windows.
2. Open Outlook, and sort the Inbox by file size.
3. Move any email whose size is >1MB into a new subfolder in the Inbox (call it large mail, doesn't really matter). Wait for this to finish (shouldn't take long).
4. Close Outlook and then go back and do step 1 again this time CHECKING the box.
5. Open Outlook and watch it complete syncing the Inbox. It'll then start on all the subfolders and once everything is synced, then move the big files back out into the main Inbox where they belong.
It's a total pain but this has worked on 4 systems straight for me. The problem is obviously due to some undocumented new change in the O365 infrastructure because this issue NEVER used to occur and I haven't changed a thing on my end. If I was a betting man I would say it is related to Office 2013 Preview backend changes.
Tell me how it goes!

But challenges remain for housing, jobs and government
SANTA ROSA – The State of Sonoma County Report to the Community Jan. 20 recapped the causes of the deepest economic downturn since the Great Depression and previewed signs of recovery.
[caption id="attachment_17923" align="alignright" width="108" caption="Jerry Nickelsburg"][/caption]
Sponsored by the Sonoma County Economic Development Board, UCLA Anderson Forecast Senior Economist Jerry Nickelsburg delivered a frank assessment of where the U.S. and California are today, and offered a positive, but cautious, forecast of better times ahead.
For California, Mr. Nickelsburg sees payroll job losses in the private sector as declining. "Today, most private sectors are no longer losing jobs," he said, noting however that public-sector job cuts are likely to increase.
Home prices and the health of the housing market continue to be major concerns for most California property owners and Realtors.

Q: Is the Buchanan Campaign Good for the Republican Party?
Nofziger, Lyn, Devine, Donald, Insight on the News
Yes: Buchanan is forcing the party to face and resolve key economic and cultural issues.
I don't think Pat Buchanan is going to be the next president of the United States. I don't even think he's going to be the Republican Party's nominee for president. But, unlike many of Washington's political and media elite, I think Buchanan is good for the Republican Party and good for the country.
It is not Buchanan and his attacks on the status quo that are hurting the party; instead, it is the often-dishonest and usually snide personal attacks on Buchanan by those of both parties who hate and fear him. For truth is that any time someone comes along with a strong philosophy of what government ought to do and where it ought to lead, and in the process shakes up the body politic of the country, the major parties and people in general benefit.
In a democracy, unless someone emerges to arouse them, the people often settle into complacency, finding that the easy thing to do is ride with the status quo. Therefore, it is good for the nation's well-being whenever a Buchanan or a George Wallace or a Gene McCarthy comes along to shake them up. Governments easily become arrogant, bureaucratic and corrupt and frequently need shaking up, even if it means recall elections and grand-jury investigations.
Parties, if they stay in power too long, become stodgy, inbred and bereft of energy and ideas. They also become corrupt. They benefit whenever a Barry Goldwater or a Ronald Reagan or a Buchanan appears to challenge the entrenched leadership.
In politics, as in government, seldom do members of the governing establishment revolt against the status quo. The fear of losing status and power is too great. As a result, changes brought about by insiders tend to be incremental, slow and self-serving. Boat-rocking is not something for which establishmentarians in either party are noted.
Thus, it is not surprising that, of the four leading candidates for the Republican presidential nomination, Pat Buchanan is the foremost outsider, boat-rocker, political brawler and muckraker. Bob Dole certainly is not these things, nor does he want to be, even though early in his Senate career he won -- and eventually lost -- a reputation as Richard Nixon's hatchet man. Before dropping out of the race, Lamar Alexander wanted voters to believe that he was an outsider challenging the establishment with some vaguely explained new ideas, but his heart didn't seem to be in them and his flannel shirt didn't justify the pretense. Steve Forbes' idea for bringing about a revolutionary change in the way Americans are taxed is to talk positive and advertise negative. And even though Dole claims Forbes' negative spots have hurt him, in the long run the strategy has proved to be counterproductive.
Buchanan is different from the other three. Once the consummate insider, he deliberately has become the consummate outsider, both in his rhetoric and in the direction in which he would lead the nation. The man who worked for Nixon and Reagan still professes admiration for and allegiance to both of them. But the fact is, he has divorced himself ideologically not only from them but also from the current leaders of his party. Neither is he following in the footsteps of Barry Goldwater, a fiscal conservative but a near-libertarian on cultural issues.
Instead, Buchanan clearly has decided to build his philosophy around returning the nation to the days of yesteryear. A Buchanan bumper sticker could easily read: "Back to the Future." This would be a future in which American jobs were protected by tariff walls and border fences, in which morality was legislated and in which God was returned to a place of prominence in public life.
Whether this is practical, whether it can be done and whether a majority of the American people really want it remains to be seen. The point is, in preaching his philosophy and stating his objectives Buchanan is attracting a constituency that crosses party lines and that is scaring the bejabbers out of establishment Republicans and Democrats alike. …

It's pretty much the entire point of the Yami no Koe series. It does men, too.
One of my favorite genres in hentai involve turning a girl that's normally nice and "pure", or at least normal, into a slutty version of herself. This is usually done by sex, forced or otherwise, but sometimes from drugs, mind-control, etc. I'm going to call these "corruption games" for lack of a better word. The nice thing about corruption games is the fantasy that anyone can turn a girl that isn't into sex or is simply not interested into a horny sex slave with the right tool or technique.
I have some games in mind, but I'm hoping this thread can serve as a place to post games in the genre and discuss them a bit, much like the game-over rape thread. Below is an ongoing list, I'll add to this list if anyone posts the title. In order to qualify as a corruption game though, and because most H-games have some level of "girl likes it after being raped a few times", please only post games where the point of the game or at least a major portion of it is to turn girls into nymphomaniacs, not just a small part of it like VH for example. I will try to sort by some sort of category, but it might take a while to figure some of them out. I will post the company name next to the game with these (), and any links I can find.
Notes on contributing: It would be helpful if posting about a game to mention what type of game it is, such as SLG, ADV, Visual Novel, Training, etc. Any links to info about the game or hongfire threads is also appreciated.
Note on Getchu links: They won't work just by clicking on them, try refresh, and if that doesn't work open a new window and paste the link in there.
SUPER note: I'm REALLY lazy, so I know that a lot of the HF links are bad, I'll probably fix them...eventually.

Black Lilith.
Nuff said.
try yami no koe series
for the shipper in all of us
As a fan of this genre, it's good seeing a thread dedicated to it.
One series that definitely has to be added to the list is Triangle's Mahou Senshi series. You play as the antagonist to a group of magical girls and defeat them with your monsters. With each successive defeat, they begin to enjoy their punishment... until you eventually break their will and turn them to your side.
For something a little less directly corruption-based, there's Jellyfish's Lovers. You basically start as the boyfriend of an old childhood friend you've finally confessed to. Although you can finish the game by keeping it sweet and sticking to nice dates, you can also keep having increasingly raunchy sex with her until she's begging for it. It's well-animated, which is never a bad thing.
Edit: remembered another Lune game, Bikyaku Agent Li-Fa (CG collection here). It's a parody of Street Fighter and other fighting games, although the gameplay is pretty much your standard Lune ADV. "Bikyaku" means "beautiful legs", so it should be obvious who the heroine is based off of.
Last edited by template; 11-24-2010 at 01:47 AM. Reason: got the name wrong
I wouldn't really have pegged Lovers as a corruption game truth be told.. but meh.
Anyway no one seems to have mentioned the Ikusa Otome Valkyrie series, Ijitte Princess series and the Valkyrie Semen Tank game from MBS HERE and most of the SLG games from DualTail such as the Venus Blood series usually end up being corruption as well =D
There's bound to be heaps more but thats what i can get from the top of my head right now =P
To add to the list, Maika makes corruption games, notably the Justice Blade series. The third one is coming soon.

County to Invest $55 Million in Ballston Mall — Arlington County is planning its first-ever Tax Increment Financing district to help fund the renovations to Ballston Common Mall. Arlington plans to invest $45 million in the mall with its TIF, which will be repaid over time via increased tax revenue from the property. It also plans to make $10 million in transportation improvements, including improvements to the attached county parking garage and the narrowing of Willson Blvd in front of the mall. [Washington Business Journal]
Arlington May Ask for Jefferson Davis Hwy Renaming — Arlington County is considering asking local state legislators to seek a name change for Jefferson Davis Highway in Arlington. Also known as Route 1, the highway is named after the Confederate president thanks to state legislative decree in 1922. A draft of the 2016 Arlington legislative priorities list includes a proposal to rename "the Arlington portion of Jefferson Davis Highway in a way that is respectful to all who live and work along it." [InsideNova]
Room For Economic Improvement — Arlington County's building approval process remains cumbersome and overly time consuming, and the county lacks the kind of incentive resources — "weapons" — that other jurisdictions have for economic development. That's according to Arlington Economic Development Director Victor Hoskins, at a recent panel discussion. [Washington Business Journal]
Per-Student Spending Down — Arlington County's per-student spending is down to $18,616, from $19,040 last year, according to the Washington Area Board of Education. Arlington still has the highest per-student spending of any suburban Washington school system. [InsideNova]

Vehicle and real estate taxes are due to the Arlington County Treasurer's Office next Monday, Oct. 5.
Residents can pay taxes online, by phone or by mail. Any mailed payment must be postmarked by Oct. 5 in order to avoid late fees or penalties.
"In the event that you are waiting for your account to be adjusted or closed, please be sure to avoid late payment penalty by paying the balance by Oct. 5," the county said in a statement. "Any overpayment will be refunded once your account has been adjusted."
The county charges a personal property tax on all vehicles regularly parked overnight in Arlington, including cars, motorcycles, buses and boats.
"All cities and counties in Virginia have a personal property tax which helps fund local government," the county said.
The Treasurer's Office collects real estate taxes in two installments — the first is collected on July 15 and the second on Oct. 5.
"Real estate taxes support schools, fire and police protection, and other public services and benefits afforded to County residents," the county said. "You help absorb these costs in proportion to the amount of money your property is worth."
Residents who have questions about their bills can contact the Treasurer's Office by emailing [email protected] or calling 703-228-4000.
From today through this Sunday (Aug. 9), Virginia residents will be able to make some purchases tax-free.
Virginians are getting a break from the sales tax this weekend courtesy of Virginia's General Assembly, which combined three existing sales tax holidays into one longer Tax-Free Weekend this year, according to the Virginia Department of Taxation.
According to the department, items exempt from the sales tax this weekend include school supplies, clothing and footwear, emergency preparedness items and some energy-efficient home appliances with either the Energy Star or WaterSense label.
Included in the list of exemptions are back-to-school staples like backpacks, calculators, flash drives and composition notebooks, as well as a variety of sports and recreational equipment.
For items that do not qualify for the sales tax exemption, store owners may still offer them as tax-free by choosing to have the store absorb the cost of the sales tax on behalf of the consumer.
More information about the sales tax holiday for both consumers and retailers can be found at the Department of Taxation's website.

Virginia residents can stock up on hurricane preparedness supplies without having to pay sales tax this week.
There are actually two hurricane tax holidays this year. The first tax holiday is May 25-31, which has been declared Hurricane and Flooding Preparedness Week by Gov. Terry McAuliffe. The second is Aug. 7-9.
After 2015, there will only be one holiday in August. The Virginia General Assembly voted to combine three hurricane preparedness tax holidays into one three-day period. However, the bill goes into effect on July 1, 2015, which means the planned tax holiday from May 25-31 was unaffected.
The 2015 Atlantic hurricane season runs from June 1 to November 30, according to the National Weather Service. The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration will release its predictions for the 2015 hurricane season at 10:30 a.m. today.
Among the list of items exempt from tax are supplies under $60, including bottled water and batteries, generators under $1,000 and chainsaws under $350. Food and candles are not exempt.
While inland, Arlington is not immune to the impacts of Atlantic hurricanes. The county saw plenty of wind and rain from Hurricane Sandy in 2012 and more significant damage from Hurricane Irene in 2011.
(Updated at 1:20 p.m.) The Artisphere cultural center in Rosslyn will close and Arlington's property tax rate will stay the same under the new Fiscal Year 2016 budget approved unanimously by the Arlington County Board last night.
The $1.16 billion budget will provide Arlington Public Schools with the extra $6.2 million it sought to deal with rising enrollment.
It also will fund a new internal auditor position, a campaign promise of County Board member John Vihstadt.
Other budget highlights include:
- An additional $1.4 million for economic development efforts, including an extra $200,000 for TandemNSI, $200,000 for tourism promotion and an extra $100,000 for the Columbia Pike Revitalization Organization
- Five new sheriff deputy positions
- Salary supplement for the public defender's office
- Additional jail-based mental health services
- An additional animal control officer for the Animal Welfare League of Arlington
- Funding for Affordable Housing Investment Fund remains steady at $12.5 million
- An additional $1 million for housing grants, for a total of $8.9 in housing grant funding
- The county manager's proposed cuts to BikeArlington were eliminated. Funding for county bike and pedestrian programs remains at $812,121.
- A merit compentation increase for employees
- Funding restored to the "Live Where You Work" program for county employees
Under the budget, Arlington's real estate tax rate will stay at $0.996 per $100 in assessed value. However, due to the 4.9 percent rise in residential property assessments and a 1.8 percent increase in the water-sewer rate, the average Arlington homeowners' tax and fee burden will rise about $281 a year, to a total of $7,567, a 4 percent increase.
"Arlington's real estate tax rate remains the lowest in the region," a county press release noted.
County government spending will increase 1.1 percent and Arlington Public Schools spending will increase 4.5 percent compared to the previous fiscal year.
Under the budget, the per-pupil cost of Arlington Public Schools to taxpayers will drop to $18,558 per student from $19,040 per student during FY 2015.
The internal auditor position sought by Vihstadt will require $200,000 of funding. The auditor will be independent, reporting to the County Board as opposed to existing internal auditing programs that report to the County Manager.
"The auditor, and an advisory committee, will report directly to the County Board and will focus on tightening financial oversight and deepening program performance review," according to the press release.
The Virginia General Assembly passed a bill this year giving the Board the authority to hire an auditor. The only other positions the Board can hire directly are the County Attorney, the County Clerk and the County Manager.
County officials say they were able to balance the budget without a tax increase and find additional funding for schools and other priorities by making budget cuts elsewhere, including Artisphere.
"The Board's most significant cut was its decision to close Artisphere, a move that will save $2.3 million in net taxpayer support for the County's critically acclaimed arts and cultural center," said the press release. "The County has said that the center's failure to consistently attract a large enough audience and its ongoing need for substantial County funding put too great a burden on strained County finances. The County is redirecting $496,000 of the money saved to fund alternative arts and cultural programming across the County."
Artisphere is set to close June 30.
The Arlington County Board has decided to hold its real estate tax rate steady for 2016.
The tax rate will likely remain at $0.996 cents of $100 of assessed value, which will result in an average property tax bill increase of $281 per year for Arlington households. The County Board had advertised a rate 1.5 cents higher than it passed, but ultimately decided to make budget cuts instead.
"Every member of this Board is acutely aware of the tax burden on our residents," County Board Chair Mary Hynes said. "We felt strongly that we did not want to add to that burden."
The tax rate was one of the key decisions the County Board made during its final budget work session yesterday evening. It will vote on the Calendar Year 2016 tax rate and its FY 2016 budget next Tuesday.
In addition, the County Board vowed to fully fund Arlington Public Schools, allotting $6.2 million above County Manager Barbara Donnellan's proposed budget. The combination of the flat tax rate and additional money for public schools meant the Board had to slash $2.8 million from their previous budgets.
The biggest of those cuts will come from closing Artisphere, effective June 30. The county still has a lease on the property and there are outside parties that would like to turn it into a tech incubator and conference space, but no formal proposal has yet been made on that front. Closing the center, converting the Metrobus 3A route to ART service and foregoing expansion of urban agricultural offerings were enough to fund a balanced budget.
The Board also acquiesced to other budget requests, including funding a new animal control officer for the Animal Welfare League of Arlington, providing pay increases to the Public Defender's office and injecting $900,000 into Arlington Economic Development's budget.
"This budget fully funds Schools, maintains core services and the social safety net, values our employees by providing a modest step increase, and invests more in the critical areas of economic development and public safety," Hynes said in a press release. "I am confident that next week, we will adopt a budget that continues this County's long track record of wisely managing taxpayer money while making strategic investments in infrastructure and environmental and economic sustainability."
In Arlington County, residents who own dogs must pay a for a license.
The license costs $10 per year or $25 for every three years. Despite the abundance of dogs in Arlington, the tax only brought in $59,664 from about 7,000 licensed dogs during a recent fiscal year, according to the Sun Gazette.
That has prompted enquiries from County Board member John Vihstadt.
It also led the president of the Arlington County Taxpayers Association, who fervently advocates for lower taxes, to suggest that the fee might be raised to help pay for the county's dog parks.
What do you think should be done with the county's dog license fee?
Today is Tax Day across the nation. Meanwhile, next week, the Arlington County Board will set the Fiscal Year 2016 real estate tax rate.
Last year, in advance of the Board's FY 2015 budget vote, we asked what you think about the county's tax rate.
Only 6.5 percent of respondents said the tax rate should be raised, while 27 percent said the tax rate should be held steady and 66.5 percent said it should be lowered.
(The Board ultimately lowered the rate from $1.006 per $100 in value to $0.996.)
This year, the Board advertised a tax rate of $1.011, giving itself the flexibility to raise the rate by up to 1.5 cents. Such a tax hike could be used to help fully fund schools, which are facing a $6.2 million funding gap.
On the other hand, because of higher residential assessments this year, the Board may consider lowering the rate to ease the increasing tax burden on homeowners.
What do you think should be done this year?
Those who don't pay real estate taxes on time could face lighter penalties this year.
The Arlington County Board is considering a recommendation by Arlington County Treasurer Carla de la Pava to reduce the fee for a real estate bill paid up to 30 days late from 10 percent to 5 percent. Tax bills paid after 30 days would continue to incur a 10 percent penalty.
"The Treasurer … has concluded that as currently implemented a 10 percent penalty for late payment of real estate taxes is unnecessarily harsh for delinquent taxpayers who pay of their own accord," the county's staff report reads. "Specifically, it treats those taxpayers who simply forgot about a due date the same as those who refuse to meet their tax obligation without collection action by the Treasurer."
The average real estate bill last year, which are paid in two installments a year, was $2,752.50, according to the treasurer's office. If a resident paid on June 17, just two days after the June 15 deadline, he or she would have had to pay a $275.25 late fee. If the County Board approves de la Pava's recommendation, that penalty would be cut in half, to $137.63.
The treasurer's office said 1,346 Arlington taxpayers paid their real estate taxes between one and 30 days late in 2014. The 10 percent late fee meant they paid a combined $535,721 in fees alone.
"As the average Arlington County real estate tax bill increases, so does the financial hardship suffered by generally honest property owners by the late payment penalty system currently in effect," the report says. "Furthermore, it is worth noting that the typical homeowner with a mortgage escrow account is extremely unlikely to ever incur a late payment penalty. Instead, the individuals more likely to miss a real estate tax due date are longtime and older residents who no longer have a mortgage on their home and thus are directly and personally responsible for making their real estate tax installment payments."
If the late penalty had been reduced in FY 2011, the county would have taken in an average of $235,000 less each year, or just under $1 million. The reduced fee has already been included in the FY 2016 budget, according to county staff.
The motion is on the County Board's consent agenda on Saturday, which means it is likely to approve it without discussion. If the Board passes the motion, Arlington would be the first jurisdiction in Northern Virginia to not charge the maximum late fee on a real estate tax, according to county staff.

Only a handful of companies are taking advantage of an Arlington tax break intended to help bolster the county's tech sector.
One possible explanation for the lack of participation in a program that could save companies thousands of dollars a year: many local tech companies say they haven't heard about it.
Last year, the Arlington County Board approved a measure "to broaden the Technology Zone incentive program for new technology companies." The action was trumpeted in a press release by then-County Board chair Jay Fisette.
"These updates reflect the reality of a quickly-changing tech world," Fisette said at the time. "I said that we would lay the groundwork this year for Arlington to become a hub of the innovation economy. This update to our Tech Zones is a big step in the right direction."
As of March 19, however, only eight businesses had applied and subsequently qualified for "Technology Zone" status for their 2014 taxes, according to Deputy Commissioner of Revenue Ann Bisson. She could not say which companies had qualified nor how much local tax revenue those companies represent.
"Because of the nature of the tech business currently having so few companies applying, I am not allowed by law to give you that information in this case," Bisson said. "Virginia law prohibits us from giving out any kind of information where it could be determined what one company has in income."
In order to qualify, a company has to prove that it meets the following requirements:
- Has been in business in Arlington for no more than 18 months, or has grown in full-time employment by at least 25 percent within the past 12 months.
- Is located in a commercial building in Arlington.
- "Has a primary function in the creation, design, and/or research and development of technology hardware or software."
It's unclear how many of the current crop of up-and-coming media- and service-oriented tech companies — Uber, Snapchat, Airbnb, Pinterest, Spotify, etc. — would qualify under of that definition.
"The use of computers, telecommunications services, or a web page or internet site shall not, in itself, be sufficient to qualify as a qualified technology business," according to county code.
For those that do qualify, the savings are significant: the Business, Professional and Occupational License (BPOL) tax rate is reduced from $0.36 for every $100 of a business' gross receipts, to between $0.18 and $0.10, depending on the size of the company.
"Arlington Economic Development (AED) estimates that the updated incentives would amount to a five-year benefit from about $39,000 for a 20-employee company to $155,000 for an 80-employee company – an average savings of $2.25 per square foot, if applied to annual rent for companies that qualify," according to the 2014 press release.
ARLnow.com reached out to a number of the Arlington-based tech firms we have profiled for our Startup Monday feature. Of those that responded, most said they would likely qualify for the incentive, but none had heard of it before we reached out.
"Without you pointing it out, I'm not sure we would have figured it out," said the founder of a Clarendon-based startup, who declined to be identified. "We use an out-of-state accountant and this is a pretty hyper-local set of incentives. We certainly would sign up, now that we know it exists."
Raymond Rahbar, founder and CEO of UberOffices, which houses at least a dozen local tech startups at its Rosslyn coworking space, said no one has reached out to him or his company about informing its members of the incentive.
Rami Essaid, the founder and CEO of Distil Networks in Ballston, also said he had not been contacted. However, he said incentive program is small potatoes for startups that hope to scale into billion-dollar businesses.
"When you are in hyper growth, you care more about big picture things like being able to continue to scale and not optimizing little things like taxes," Essaid told ARLnow.com. "That said, Arlington I feel like has done many of the right things to foster an environment for scale. That means having the right talent pool, good community events, etc. The extra tax perks are nice bonuses but they don't influence our reason for being in Arlington."
Ironically, despite being an incentive for tech companies, little information about the program can be found on Arlington County's own website.
There's a blurb buried deep on AED's website, but no information about how to apply for it. "Contact Arlington Economic Development for specific details," the page said.
We couldn't find anything on Arlington's Taxes & Payments site. A PDF document on the site, listing business tax rates, does not list the Technology Zone rate. Neither did the paper tax bill mailed by the Commissioner of Revenue's office. When we asked about it last month, we were referred to the Tech Zone's section of county code itself.

The Arlington County Board on Saturday advertised a real estate tax rate slightly above the current rate.
The Board advertised a rate of $1.011 per $100 of assessed value, 1.5 cents above the current $0.996 rate.
By advertising the higher rate, the Board has given itself the flexibility to raise the rate should it choose to do so, despite County Manager Barbara Donnellan's recommendation (and the Board's guidance) of keeping the tax rate steady.
The advertised rate is the highest rate the Board may set when it finalizes its Fiscal Year 2016 budget in April.
"The Manager has put forward her budget, which complies with our direction. The County Board's work now begins," County Board Chair Mary Hynes said in a statement. "This advertisement sets the stage for a Board and community deliberation about revenue and expenditures."
"While no one on the County Board wants to see tax rates increase, we believe that having flexibility at this point in time is necessary as we hear from the community, scour the budget for savings, evaluate programs and monitor economic circumstances," Hynes continued. "Our final goal is to arrive at a sustainable, balanced budget that best serves all Arlingtonians."
Even if the tax rate were to remain the same, the average Arlington homeowner's annual tax bill would increase $281 to $7,567, due largely to a rise in residential property assessments.
(Updated at 12:50 p.m.) Arlington County Manager Barbara Donnellan has presented a $1.156 billion proposed budget to the County Board.
The budget keeps the county's current real estate tax rate — of $0.996 per $100 in value — the same, but would result in a net tax hike for homeowners thanks to property assessment increases.
The county's real estate tax base has increased 3.4 percent, thanks largely to a 4.9 percent increase in single family home assessments and a 4.7 percent increase in apartment building assessments. (New construction added over 0.7 percent to the base.)
The average Arlington homeowner will pay $7,567 — an extra $23 per month, or $281 per year — in total county taxes and fees under the proposed budget.
For owners of Arlington office buildings, which have experienced record levels of vacancies thanks in part to BRAC, taxes will go down. Office assessments decreased 4.5 percent, while hotel assessments decreased 4.7 percent.
Donnellan says she was able to balance the budget and close a forecasted $4 million budget gap without making any formal cuts. Healthcare and retirement costs were lower than expected and some "efficiencies" were found in the budget, she said.
"I think Arlington have been really fortunate," Donnellan said of the budget, which she was able to balance without significant cuts despite the high office vacancies.
No changes to personal property, stormwater, business improvement district or business license taxes have been proposed. While there's no change proposed in the household solid waste rate, Donnellan does propose a 1.8 percent increase in the water/sewer rate. Some parks and recreation fee changes have been proposed, including reductions in the rates for aquatics and gymnastics programs.
While not in her base budget, Donnellan included an optional slate of cuts for the Board to consider. The "budget reduction options" include $4.1 million in cuts and savings in various parts of the budget, including:
- Closing Artisphere, but reinvesting half of the $900,000 in annual savings into the county's Cultural Affairs program (last year Artisphere was funded with $1.8 million in county funds, half of which were designated "one-time" funds.)
- Converting Metrobus 3A service in Arlington to less expensive ART bus service
- Consolidating an elementary after-school program with Arlington public schools
- County vehicle fleet reductions and utility savings
- Publishing one fewer Citizen newsletter per year
- Reductions to bike and pedestrian programs
- Reductions to employment services programs in the Dept. of Human Services
- Reductions to the community energy program
- Reductions to planning resources
- Reductions to tree planting
- Reductions to library materials
- Reductions to urban agriculture
- Eliminating a proposed increase in funding to courts and constitutional officers, meant to offset state cuts
Donnellan said her suggested cuts wouldn't result in "totally outraged" community members, but would likely receive some push back from "interested parties."
"They're not core services in the sense of how we deliver day-to-day business," Donnellan said of the proposals.
At $1.156 billion, Donnellan's budget is a 0.7 percent increase over last year's $1.15 billion adopted budget. The proposed budget includes a $710.9 operating budget for the county government. The remainder would go to Arlington Public Schools, which will see an overall funding increase of $13.2 million, or 3.1 percent.
APS Superintendent Dr. Patrick Murphy will proposed his Fiscal Year 2016 budget tonight.

So I've been trying to find ways to draw more with my busy work and home schedules. I got out my old Wacom Graphire2 and thought to myself I've really never used this. I started reading reviews about sketching/drawing software and came across Sketchbook Pro by Autodesk. After watching a couple tutorials and getting it installed, I'M HOOKED! I keep the tablet on my desk hooked up to the laptop and do little sketches all day in between my projects on my desktop. Thank you Autodesk for making it easy for me to stay creative!
If you haven't used a tablet or Sketchbook Pro, check them out...

This has been an on-going issue for me. When the screen goes dark, at some point after that, sometimes almost immediately, sometimes after several minutes, the music will stop playing. This always happens between songs, never in the middle of one. It is consistant.
The only workaround that I've found is to go into developers mode and set the option to never go to screensaver when the power cord is plugged in.
Does anyone else have this issue and, if so, found another way around it?
Are you streaming? Is it possible that your WiFi is turning off and the playback stops after the buffer is exhausted?

Johnson County families in need soon will be able to get food and shop for gently used clothing at the same location.
They'll be able pick up fresh meat, boxed meals and produce such as apples, bananas and carrots. If they need bedding, a coat for their kids or an outfit for a job interview, they can find that as well.
Eventually, they'll be able to use computers to apply for jobs and learn how to create a convincing resume.
The Community Ministry Center at Mount Pleasant Christian Church has opened as a hub for help in Johnson County. The 15,000-square-foot building will combine a food pantry with a clothing and household goods ministry.
Organizers anticipate helping more than 300 families each week.
In addition, the location will become an outlet for the Midwest Food Bank, helping to distribute to food pantries and social agencies throughout central Indiana.
"We'll be a kind of 'superpantry.' Not only will we provide for people here, but we'll also provide to smaller pantries deeper in the community," said Matt Goodpaster, church administrator. "The idea was to bring everything together under one roof."
The approximately $4.3 million project has grown out of desire by church officials to combine their social service ministries into one location, according to Johnette Cruz, spokeswoman for Mount Pleasant Christian Church.
Before construction of the center, the food pantry and clothing ministry were housed in separate locations. In His Name, which provides gently used clothes, bedding and other household items to families in need, was located in two houses side-by-side. Clients would have to walk from room to room in order to pick out children's clothes, men's apparel and women's items. Storage for extra items was in the garage.
Living Bread, the weekly food pantry, operated out of a different house north of the church.
The new building brings that all together, with additional features, Cruz said.
"The whole idea is that we're able to serve the clients better and provide a more conducive place for them to get help,"she said.
'Like a grocery store'
Two separate storehouses will be used to store both food and clothing needs. People can drop off their goods at the drive-up door for a quick donation. Volunteers can use the space to sort and store the donated items.
A separate space has been set up as a clothing store, with sweatshirts, jeans, dress shirts and dresses arranged on racks and shelves according to size and item.
Across the center, the food pantry will be set up to offer clients a multitude of choices in feeding their families.
"It'll be just like a grocery store. There will be meat cases, produce bins and shelving for dry food items," Goodpaster said.
Once the pantry opens, the way that families receive help also changes. Currently, each family that comes to Living Bread receives a standard box of items. But starting in early February, individual families will be classified on a point-scale, depending on the number of people in the family and their need.
Different food items will be worth different points, giving people the freedom to shop for exactly what they want, Goodpaster said.
"It will increase their shopping experience. They won't just pull up and get a box from us. They'll have some say and input on what kind of food they want to provide for their family," he said.
In addition, a classroom constructed at the front of the building hopefully will be used as a community education center, Goodpaster said. People will be able to learn resume building, job interview techniques and other life skills.
Laptops will be available to let people search for jobs.
A certified commercial kitchen will allow leaders to prepare hot meals for families coming to the pantry. Offices, private meeting space and devotional gathering areas also were constructed as part of the structure.
'Increasing our reach'
At the center of the building, a large devotional space has been built where clients will wait to be served.
"That will be a gathering area, where we'll pray with the clients. We want to eventually use it as a space to worship as well for people who need that additional help," Cruz said.
Planning for the Community Ministry Center took two years. Church leaders purchased land, and the houses that were sitting on them, south of the existing Mount Pleasant complex. The purchases came together slowly. The land was secured about one year ago, with construction starting in late 2012, Cruz said.
Almost all of the building is complete, with just a few minor touches to be finished before a grand opening on Tuesday.
An industrial-size cooler and separate freezer will be installed in the warehouse, Goodpaster said. Through a partnership with Midwest Food Bank, they'll be able to store and hold items that will be used to supplement social service agencies throughout the county.
"This greatly increases the amount of meat and produce we can take in. Right now, it's going to make us viable in terms of providing relief to other pantries, as well as increasing our reach in the community," he said.
Because of initial problems with the walk-in cooler and freezer, Living Bread won't be up and operational until late January or early February.
But In His Name already is accepting clothing donations, and the ministry opened in mid-December.
Training has been ongoing for the volunteers who will be staffing the center, Cruz said. With so many new features and new procedures with everything under one roof, the process has been intensive.
People are learning to do everything from greet people coming to the center for help, to accept donations and sort food.
"We've had a huge influx of volunteers. So we have 250 to 300 new people coming to volunteer in a space that wasn't there before, so we're in the middle of training and doing procedures to help them get ready," Cruz said.
