Reducing hot water use saves energy because your hot water heater has less work to do. Recent research has shown that on average about 73% of the water used through residential faucets is hot water (DeOreo, et. al. 2001).
Installing new faucet aerators on your kitchen and bathroom sinks is a good idea and can result in some energy savings, particularly if you live in an older house and have older aerators with high flow rates. Faucet aerators are inexpensive (starting at $1 each) and are an inexpensive and effective way to save money in your home.

If you are looking for further energy savings, don't let the faucet run continuously while brushing your teeth or washing dishes. If your faucet uses 2.2 gpm, then you can save about 1.6 gallons of hot water for every minute you reduce your faucet use.

Locked-in electricity rate could save county $14,500
January 26, 2013
LISBON — Columbiana County commissioners expect to save $14,500 on electricity over the next 12 months after voting at this week's meeting to take advantage of a locked-in rate....
wow, commissioners is a bad word and red flagged by the comment protocol? Well, guess what I agree..****MISSIONERS really are a bad word!

Now this is what absolutely drives me insane and what makes me want to screeeeeeeeam over this madness.
In one swift move..****missioners brag how they SAVE, mind you SAVE the taxpayers money, then turn around and SPEND that money saved and at least guessing without a calculator handy, 16 percent more! Is there absolutely no common sense in this stuff anymore? REALLY?
Dray-Bardon, who earns $71,593, she needed a raise? Seriously, at that salary? She had to have a raise? Are you freaking kidding me?
This is the same woman that is hired to help taxpayers who are struggling in this country to survive, those who have been taxed to death because they have to pay HER SALARY and now her raise.
This madness has to stop! It has to STOP!

What the New Law Means for Taxpayers
Here are questions and answers about what the newly signed tax agreement means for millions of Americans. For a plain-language summary of the bill, click here. Some details remain unclear, however.
What happens to individual tax rates for 2013?
For most people they stay the same as last year, but for the wealthiest there's a new permanent top rate of 39.6%, compared with 35% for 2012. The threshold for the top rate is $450,000 of taxable income for married couples filing jointly and $400,000 for single filers.
What about tax rates on investment income?
The bill does not tax dividends at the same rate as wages and other ordinary income, a change that was set to occur with the expiration of the 2001-03 tax changes. Instead, it leaves dividends in the same category as long-term capital gains.
But the bill does permanently raise rates on long-term capital gains and dividends for top-bracket taxpayers. People who owe at the 39.6% level for income tax will pay 20% on all their net long-term gains as opposed to 15% in 2012.
Meanwhile, the 15% rate will continue to apply to taxpayers in the 25%, 28%, 33% and 35% income tax brackets, and people in the 10% and 15% brackets will continue to have a zero rate on capital gains and dividends.
Did Congress fix the alternative minimum tax (AMT)?
Yes, in the nick of time. Lawmakers permanently indexed this tax for inflation and made the change retroactive to the beginning of 2012, when the last inflation adjustment expired.
If this fix had not been made, then the AMT would have applied to 34 million taxpayers in 2012. First passed in 1969, this tax was originally intended to apply to wealthy people using many tax strategies, but over time its reach has spread, especially to people in high-tax states. It would also have severely disrupted the coming tax-filing season.
What happened to the 2012 payroll tax cut?
Lawmakers allowed a temporary two-percentage-point cut in the employee's portion of Social Security to expire. The levy will rise to 6.2% of wage income, up to a cap of $113,700, meaning that an individual earning the maximum amount will owe about $200 a month more in payroll tax for 2013.
For millions of Americans, this will be the biggest effect of the bill.
Are there other important income-tax changes?
Yes, and they affect the affluent as well as the very wealthy. Lawmakers permanently reinstated the Personal Exemption Phaseout (PEP) and the "Pease" provision, both of which lapsed in 2010. Both apply to married joint filers with $300,000 or more of adjusted gross income ($250,000 for singles).
PEP will cut or eliminate the value of deducting personal exemptions for taxpayers above those income thresholds. In 2012 the personal exemption was $3,800 for most individuals. In 2013, the exemption will phase out completely at about $420,000 of AGI for couples.
The Pease provision, named after former Rep. Donald Pease (D., Ohio), is a complex limitation on all itemized deductions—including charitable donations and mortgage interest—that will eliminate up to 80% of deductions for taxpayers above the thresholds. This phaseout's net effect is to add about one percentage point to the top tax rate, including the top rate on capital gains, say experts.
What happens to the estate and gift taxes?
The estate- and gift-tax exemption will remain $5 million or more per individual–not the $3.5 million sought by President Barack Obama. But the current 35% top tax rate on amounts above the exemption will increase to 40%.
The exemption will remain indexed for inflation, so the 2013 amount will be more than the 2012 exemption of $5.12 million.
In addition, the estate and gift tax will remain "unified," meaning that an individual can use the entire exemption to make gifts while alive. In some previous versions of the law, the gift-tax exemption was much smaller than the overall estate-tax exemption, meaning that most of the exemption couldn't be used until death.
The "portability" rules will also be permanent. This provision allows a deceased spouse's estate to transfer to the surviving spouse any unused portion of the $5 million exemption.
Was "bonus" depreciation renewed?
Yes, as an economic stimulus. Lawmakers passed a one-year extension of current "bonus" depreciation rules, which allow businesses to deduct up to 50% of the cost of a wide variety of property and equipment, excluding real estate.
What about "extenders"?
Congress extended many other temporary provisions. Some expired at the beginning of 2012 and some at year-end; lawmakers made some extensions permanent but not others, with some details still unclear.
Permanent extensions include:
Expanded dependent care credit.
Expanded adoption tax credit and other adoption assistance.
The 2001 modifications to the child tax credit.
Expanded Coverdell education accounts.
Expanded benefits for employer-provided education assistance, expanded student loan interest deduction and scholarship tax exclusion.
Marriage-penalty relief for the standard deduction, the 15% bracket and the earned-income tax credit.
Temporary extensions include:
IRA charitable contribution. This highly popular provision allows IRA owners 70 1/2 and older to contribute up to $100,000 of account assets directly to a charity and have it count as part or all of their required minimum distribution.
According to the Senate summary, many individuals who took a distribution in December 2012 will be able to contribute that amount a charity and have it count as a rollover. (Two years, through 2013)
The American Opportunity Tax Credit. For many taxpayers this credit is worth up to $2,500 and is therefore the most valuable education benefit. (Five years, through 2017)
The teachers' classroom-expenses deduction of up to $250. (Two years, through 2013)
Tax relief on canceled or forgiven mortgage debt. (Two years, through 2013)
Deduction for state and local sales taxes in lieu of state income taxes. (Two years, through 2013)
Deduction for qualified tuition-related expenses. (Two years, through 2013)
The 2009 modifications to the child tax credit. (Five years)
Third-child Earned Income Tax Credit. (Five years)
Parity for employer-provided mass-transit benefits with parking benefits. (Through 2013)
Special rules for conservation donations. (Two years)

The USA is widely regarded as the odds on favorite entering the tournament. They will need to beat out a very competitive Group C, which features powerhouses Korea DPR and Sweden, along with first-time contenders Colombia.
It appears as though the USA will be competing against Korea DPR and Sweden for one of two spots designated to Group C in the quarterfinals.
If they should be so lucky as to make it to the semi-finals, they will likely be taking on Norway or Brazil.

In Braunwald the clock ticks somewhat differently: the din of the streets and exhaust fumes are unknown here. The car-free Glarus mountain village offers nostalgic charm, peace and quiet. Only horse-drawn carriages and pedestrians are to be found on the streets. The silence on the winter hiking trails is truly magical. The panoramic trail is a parade route. It begins at the mountain station of the Grotzenbüel gondola train and slowly and steadily ascends the Kneugrat. There are fabulous views into the depths of Bächital Valley and the grandiose panoramic vista extends to the Glarus Alps. From the Kneugrat ridge, the trail leads in about 20 minutes to the Seblengrat ridge, which is practically at the same elevation. Mountain Restaurant Seblen offers simple but lovingly prepared meals. The visitor then returns on the same route.
The hiking tour can be shortened by a chairlift ride from Grotzenbüel to the Seblengrat ridge (or vice versa). Hiking time is 1.5 hours, distance 4 kilometers.
Please note: Sturdy hiking boots are mandatory for this hike. Crampons on their shoes and ski poles are recommended for seniors. Depending on the snow conditions, this panoramic hike may only be possible with snowshoes.

State Sen. Larry Grooms said today he was shocked to learn someone was pushing a write-in campaign on his behalf for the 1st Congressional District — and he urged voters not to do so.
"My campaign is over," said the Bonneau Republican, who placed third in the 16-way March 19 primary for the seat. "I'm asking people please don't write my name in."
On Thursday, the Conservative Campaign Committee PAC announced it was launching a write-in campaign for Grooms, calling Sanford "not a viable candidate."
"I'm flattered that they believe I can win as a write-in but I cannot," Groom said. "All I would do is hurt the chances of the Republican nominee."
That nominee, former Gov. Mark Sanford, has been battling back after a self-admitted "rough week," one where news broke that his ex-wife had filed trespassing complaint against him in Family Court.
"I knew there were some flaws that Mark Sanford had that would be exploited in the campaign, and it's happening," Grooms said.
In its announcement, the Conservative Campaign Committee said it's a foregone conclusion at this point that Sanford is not a viable candidate in this race, and spokesman Ryan Gill said its write-in campaign will proceed despite what Grooms says.
"We're a third party outside group so we're actually barred from talking to candidates we support anyway," he said, adding the group is raising money for radio and TV ads.
Grooms said while he appreciated the Conservative Campaign's support in his primary bid, he took an oath to the GOP that he would not run for the seat in another capacity if he lost the primary, "and I take that oath seriously."

Dear Miss Manners: I have heard that it is not proper to thank people for Christmas gifts. This does not seem reasonable to me, especially when gifts have been packaged and mailed, and the giver is not present upon receipt. What is the official rule of etiquette about Christmas gifts?
Gentle Reader: Let Miss Manners guess where you are getting your etiquette information.
The subject arose with someone under an obligation to thank either you or another benefactor, such as that person's grandmother. When you mentioned that, there was a counterattack in the form of a declaration that such an expectation was selfish, because true generosity exists for itself, not with any thought of being thanked.
Got that? The person who gave the present is condemned as ignoble by the very person who benefited but wouldn't trouble to acknowledge it. Miss Manners trusts that you are not so naive as to fall for such sophistry.
Generosity and gratitude are permanently paired. Those would-be etiquetteers who declare expressing thanks to be no longer required have done only half the job. They must also then abolish the custom of giving – or, what always turns out to be the case with them – accepting presents.
Presence, not presents
Dear Miss Manners: I'm married with two children, 14 and 4. My 4-year-old son is currently in treatment for cancer.
My family has been very supportive and kind. One of my sisters, who has no children and a lucrative career, usually shows up for a visit with very expensive gifts for the 4-year-old. This Christmas season, she has been more extravagant than usual, I assume as a result of my son's illness.
I have gently suggested that she should come for a visit with no gifts, so that my son appreciates her presence more than her "presents." She was offended at the suggestion. Is there any polite way to limit her gifts?
Gentle Reader: Probably not. Buying them is a comfort to your sister.
What you can do is to use the presents to encourage a bond between them. "Oh, look what Aunt Sophie has brought you!" you can say. And then announce to them both that Aunt Sophie will teach him how to play the game, ride the vehicle, read him the book, or whatever.
Battle over the blinds
Dear Miss Manners: My wife and I are having a continual battle over our window coverings. I believe it is rude for us to keep our blinds open, particularly at night. She does not think so. Is there etiquette for window coverings?
Gentle Reader: That would be Don't Frighten the Neighbors. But Miss Manners would advise not interesting them too much, either.

CHARLESTON - Currently in West Virginia, the names and addresses of concealed weapons licensees is public information. But a bill introduced to the House of Delegates on Tuesday could change that.
HB2911 proposes to exempt from the Freedom of Information Act records pertaining to the issuance, renewal, expiration, suspension or revocation of a license to carry a concealed weapon, according to the legislation.
Delegate Mike Folk, R-Berkeley, who is the bill's lead sponsor, said he wrote the legislation in response to a New York newspaper's decision to publish the names and addresses of area gun owners last year. The newspaper obtained the information by way of New York's Freedom of Information Law requests, according to media reports.
Article Photos
Delegate Larry Kump, R-Berkeley
"This (bill) prevents the state from releasing personal information," Folk said in regard to concealed weapons licensees.
Eastern Panhandle delegates echoed Folk's opinion that concealed weapons licenses are personal information and should be kept private.
"I believe that lawful gun owners have a right to privacy," said Delegate Eric Householder, R-Berkeley. "I don't want the newspaper to be reporting that, 'Hey, this neighbor has a gun.'"
Robert Freeman, executive director of New York's Committee on Open Government, said it is important to consider the need for licenses when discussing legislation such as HB2911.
"Historically, a license, in my opinion, has been intended to tell the world that an individual is qualified to engage in an act," Freeman said, whether it be driving a car or handling a firearm. "The names and the addresses indicate that people have gotten their licenses and complied with law."
An individual's address can be found in a variety of places, such as voter registries. While voters in West Virginia can request address confidentiality, that information is a matter of public record, according to the West Virginia Secretary of State's website.
Freeman pointed out that these inconsistencies in law don't allow for complete confidentiality of the kind of information HB2911 would conceal.
"Shutting down information in one context does not necessarily mean that the same information will be shielded in another," Freeman said.
Media outlets frequently use FOIA in order to obtain documents from a variety of sources for use in reporting. Don Smith, executive director of the West Virginia Press Association, said FOIA is important to journalists.
"The No. 1 thing that we're concerned about is open government and having that information out there," Smith said. "Every time that an exemption is granted, it's one less area that the public can monitor its government and look out for its own interests."
When asked about the limits HB2911 might place upon the First Amendment, Delegate Larry D. Kump, R-Berkeley, said it was not his main concern.
"The right of personal privacy trumps the First Amendment," Kump said.
Lawmakers cited an individual's right to privacy as their concern when it comes to implementing laws like HB2911.
"We all have a right to our privacy, as with medical records or any other constitutional right," said Delegate Larry Faircloth, R-Berkeley, describing the law as "common sense."
Smith said medical records and concealed weapons permits are not comparable.
"You have to apply for these (licenses)," Smith said. "This is asking for a special right. I see no reason why that should be exempt."
New York recently enacted a law that would not exempt gun owner information from FOIA laws, but rather allow licensees to opt out of disclosure, Freeman said.
"State police have developed forms where licensees can check off a box," Freeman said. "For any number of reasons offered, the individual can preclude disclosure of his or her name and address."
There is one exemption included in HB2911. If passed, the legislation would allow information related to concealed weapons licenses to be obtained by law enforcement in the event of a criminal investigation, Faircloth said.
"(The licensee has) given up that right as a law-abiding citizen, and under the court system, information needs to be revealed as part of due process," Faircloth said.
While legislators said they see this bill as preventative, Freeman said he feels much legislation can be made as an emotional response to events, such as the shooting in Newtown, Conn., where 26 people, including 20, children were killed. Freeman said legislation can have unintended consequences when people fail to abide by what he called the "Aretha Franklin principle."
"You better think," Freeman said. "When an emotional issue arises, it is not atypical for emotions to take over that result in an absence to consider the ramifications."

HARRISBURG - A sculpture made from nearly 1,000 pounds of butter unveiled Thursday at the Pennsylvania Farm Show will find its way to Juniata County after the Farm Show ends.
At the close of the show, the butter, donated by Land O' Lakes in Carlisle, Cumberland County, will be given to a Juniata County dairy farm. The butter will be put through a digester and converted to about 65 kilowatt hours of electricity to help operate the farm.
The annual butter sculpture pays tribute to Pennsylvania's diverse agriculture industry.

The sculpture, sponsored by Mid-Atlantic Dairy Association and Pennsylvania Dairy Promotion Program, features PA Preferred, the official brand of agriculture products grown or made in Pennsylvania. It depicts several of the state's top commodities including milk and dairy products, grapes and wine, Christmas trees, fruits and vegetables.
The eight-day Pennsylvania Farm Show opens to the public today. This year's theme is: "Made in PA. It makes a difference."
"This year's Pennsylvania Farm Show will show how our farm families and thousands of agribusinesses provide an affordable food supply, keep money in local communities and create jobs," Agriculture Secretary George Greig said. "More than 7,400 dairy farm families spend nearly 85 percent of their income close to home and recognize the importance of supplying quality products. They are making a difference."
"Most milk consumed by Pennsylvanians is produced and processed within 100 miles of their grocery store," said Harold Shaulis, Somerset County dairy producer and chair of the Pennsylvania Dairy Promotion Program. "The butter sculpture provides us an opportunity to share our mission of producing healthy, nutritious dairy foods for our friends and neighbors to enjoy."
Crafted by Jim Victor of Conshohocken, Montgomery County, the butter sculpture creation begins in mid-December and is finished just in time for the Farm Show. Victor also creates sculptures using chocolate and cheese.
Mid-Atlantic Dairy Association and Pennsylvania Dairy Promotion Program are funded by dairy farmers to promote milk and dairy products. For more information, visit www.dairyspot.com.
The Pennsylvania Farm Show is the largest indoor agricultural event in the nation, with 24 acres under one roof that feature nearly 6,000 animals, 10,000 competitive exhibits and 300 commercial exhibitors. Admission is free and parking is $10.

How far should openness extend? | Opensource.com
How far should openness extend?
If you could open one of the following data sets tomorrow, which one would you open and why?
Selling the idea of open data seems straightforward. If taxpayers paid for it, a government should share it. But there have to be exceptions for National Security and privacy.
What about when a government holds a copyright or a public university applies for a patent? If a healthy society needs an intellectual commons full of public data, what belongs in that commons?

I think that the question is poorly worded. The choice is essentially all or one. I think that the poll should allow people to vote for more than one category.
Steve Stites
I have no problem with the federal govt. monitering phone calls whether it infringes on my constitutional rights or not.I remember 9/11 and in my opinion the hijackers would fail today,there are certain freedoms we have sacraficed, necessary to protect our country from terrorists. When president Bush signed the patriot act it gave local police a way to infringe on our rights. I am known in my community and can not stand the fact that when I look @ porn,on occasion thinking in private,even local authorities know.
All non-classified government data does this mean personal info?
It is not clear. Make clearer or have more categories.

WELLSBORO - The Tioga County commissioners adopted the 2013 $19.6 million general fund budget without a tax hike and without a cost of living increase for retirees Tuesday.
It was the first time in at least three years that there was no cost of living increase for retirees.
Also approved were the retirement budget of $$44.9 million, the liquid fuels budget of $876,000, and the human services budget of $15.7 million.
The real property tax rate for 2013 will remain at 6.75 mills.
Commissioners also approved changing the way tax collectors are paid beginning in 2014, when they will be compensated $2.25 per bill collected, and $2.25 for interim tax bill collected to take effect Jan. 1, 2014 affecting 39 tax collectors.
Before this tax collectors were paid on the percentage of taxes collected depending on the amount collected.
Some tax collectors in attendance wanted to know if the county had thought about what it would do if there were no more tax collectors.
Commissioner Roger Bunn said "it is not this board's intent to do away with tax collectors. The intent is to get it done as efficiently as possible and be fiscally responsible."
In other business the board approved an extension for elderly property owners to make payment of delinquent real estate taxes. The extension applies to homeowners age 65 or older, and is based on an annual household income of no more than $35,000. The new program will take effect Jan. 1, 2013.
Commissioners also:
Announced their reorganizational meeting will be held at 10 a.m. Jan. 7 at the courthouse, and their first regular meeting of the New Year will be held at 10 a.m. Jan. 15, also at the courthouse.
Opened and tabled two bids for the community services road project; from Austin Construction Co., Campbell, N.Y. in the amount of $22,837, and from Gra-Hil Construction, Wellsboro, in the amount of $22,347.
Approved two Local Economic Revitalization Tax Abatements, one for Cleveland Brothers for a new garage and one for the Wellsboro Hotel Co. for expansion of the Penn Wells Lodge.
Approved using Act 13 natural gas impact fee money for two projects for the Wellsboro-Johnston Airport, $90,000 for an automated weather observation system, and $23,000 for conversion of the airport fuel tank to dispense jet fuel.
Approved a contract with Richard W. McCoy to serve as attorney at $85 an hour for the Domestic Relations Office from Dec. 1, 2012 through Sept. 30, 2015, as required by law.
Approved certification for authorized use of 911 funds under the Emergency Telephone Service, Chapter 53, which authorizes Emergency Services Director David Cohick to apply for and get funding for the county's use.
Approved a supplemental engineering Agreement with Larson Design Group for county bridge number 4 the Knox Bridge, Knoxville, in the amount of $498,387 to further expand the bridge for use by heavier vehicles.
Approved an emergency repair agreement with Simplex-Grinnell for a control panel board replacement for $2,746.
As the Salary Board, the commissioners approved a request to create three positions in community services, Department of Human Services, under the new pilot program, Effective Safe Parenting Program, funded through the state human services block grant including a full time licensed practical nurse at $15.35 per hour with benefits; a full time caseworker at $11.44 per hour with benefits and a homemaker at $9.93 per hour with benefits.

Round, long, rainbow-coloured, purple or just plain orange - we've got carrots to suit every taste! Try growing carrot-fly resistant varieties for the best chance of a healthy crop. Parsnips are the perfect addition to a Sunday roast and will be even sweeter if you leave them in the ground until after a sharp frost.
added to your basket.
Parsnip 'Gladiator' F1 Hybrid
Pastinaca sativa
Sue Foster says: "The first parsnip I grew - and what a fantastic crop! This canker resistant variety produces long, smooth roots that are delicious roasted and makes phenomenal Parsnip and Ginger soup. After a couple of frosts the flavour is exceptional, and they keep in the ground for an impressive length of time without turning woody."More info
