HMS/HSDM Policy on Financial Conflicts of Interest in Sponsored Research
HMS/HSDM Policy on Financial Conflicts of Interest in Sponsored Research
Harvard University Faculty of Medicine may from time to time apply for and/or receive funding through various outside grant awards for their Research, for example grants from government awarding agencies, research foundations, and private companies. The following requirements apply to Sponsored Research, including at the time an application for funding is made to an awarding agency, for example the National Institutes of Health (NIH). These requirements are in addition to the rules set forth in the Faculty of Medicine Policy on Conflicts of Interest and Commitment (Faculty COI Policy) and apply to all Investigators, as defined below, in a Research project for which an application for funding has been made through and/or granted to Harvard Medicine School (HMS)1. In the event certain Research would not be permitted to proceed pursuant to the Research Rules and other prohibitions outlined in the Faculty COI Policy, nothing in this policy alters that conclusion. As such, the requirements outlined in this policy apply to Investigators who are planning to conduct or are conducting Sponsored Research (applied for and/or received through HMS) that is not otherwise prohibited by the Faculty COI Policy or other applicable requirements.
I. Definitions. The following definitions apply specifically in the context of this policy on Sponsored Research. Unless otherwise noted, capitalized terms used in this policy that are not defined herein will be given the meaning ascribed to them in the Faculty COI Policy.
A. Designated Official. The Designated Official will be the Dean for Faculty and Research Integrity.
B. Financial Conflict of Interest (FCOI). A Significant Financial Interest or Travel that could directly and significantly affect the design, conduct, or reporting of Research.
C. Institution: HMS in its capacity as an entity applying for or receiving PHS research funding.
D. Institutional Responsibilities. An Investigator's professional responsibilities on behalf of HMS. These may include, for example, activities such as research, research consultation, teaching, and professional practice.
E. Investigator. The project director (PD) or principal investigator (PI) and any other person, regardless of title or position, who is responsible for the design, conduct, or reporting of Research supported by a grant awarded to HMS
F. PHS. The Public Health Service, including the various agencies that are designated as components through which research grants are issued (for example, the National Institutes of Health (NIH)). The PHS, through its funding agencies, implements and enforces the Department of Health and Human Services' (DHHS) Rule entitled "Responsibility of Applicants for Promoting Objectivity in Research for which Public Health Service Funding is Sought and Responsible Prospective Contractors" and codified at 42 C.F.R. Parts 50 and 94.
G. Reviewable Interest. Any Significant Financial Interest (SFI) belonging to an Investigator or an Investigator's spouse and dependent children, and any Travel, to the extent either relates to the Investigators' Institutional Responsibilities. The Office of the Dean may in the future determine additional interests to constitute Reviewable Interests.
H. Senior/Key Personnel. The PD or PI and any other person identified as senior/key personnel by HMS in the grant application, progress report, or any other report submitted to the PHS by HMS.
I. Significant Financial Interest (SFI). A financial interest consisting of one or more of the following interests:
1. With regard to any publicly traded entity, when the value of any remuneration (salary and any payment for services not otherwise identified as salary, for example consulting fees, honoraria, paid authorship) received from the entity in the twelve (12) months preceding disclosure of the interest aggregated with the value of any equity in the entity (for example, stock, stock options, or other ownership interests as determined through reference to public prices or other reasonable measure of fair market value) in the entity as of the date of the disclosure exceeds $5,000.
2. With respect to any non-publicly traded entity, when the aggregated value of any remuneration received from the entity in the twelve (12) months preceding disclosure of the interest exceeds $5,000, or any equity in the entity; or
3. Intellectual property rights and interests (e.g., patents, copyrights) upon receipt of income related to such rights and interests.
Exclusions: The term Significant Financial Interest does not include the following types of financial interests: salary, royalties, or other remuneration paid by the Institution to the Investigator if the Investigator is currently employed or otherwise appointed by Institution, including intellectual property rights assigned to the Institution and agreements to share in royalties related to such rights; any ownership interests in HMS held by the Investigator, if HMS is a commercial or for-profit organization; income from investment vehicles, such as mutual funds and retirement accounts, as long as the Investigator does not directly control the investment decisions made in these vehicles; income from seminars, lectures, or teaching engagements sponsored by a Federal, state, or local government agency, an institution or higher education as defined at 20 U.S.C. 1001(a), an academic teaching hospital, a medical center, or a research institute that is affiliated with an institution of higher education; or income from service on advisory committees or review panels for a Federal, state, or local government agency, an institution of higher education as defined at 20 U.S.C. 1001(a), an academic teaching hospital, a medical center, or a research institute that is affiliated with an institution of higher education.
I. Travel. Any travel that is reimbursed (i.e., the Investigator is made whole for the financial outlay required) or sponsored (i.e., the costs are paid on behalf of the Investigator such that the exact monetary value may not be readily available) other than by HMS, a Federal, state, or local government agency, an institution of higher education as defined at 20 U.S.C. 1001(a), an academic teaching hospital, a medical center, or a research institute that is affiliated with an institution of higher education.
II. Investigator Disclosure to HMS. All Investigators conducting Research for which a funding application has been made to an external funding agency or entity through HMS must disclose the information required herein and by the Faculty COI Policy on an annual basis in accordance with the process established by the Office of the Dean. Additionally, at a minimum and no later than the time of application for funding, Investigators planning to participate in PHS-funded Research are required to disclose all Reviewable Interests (namely, (i) any Significant Financial Interests (SFIs) belonging to the Investigator or the Investigator's Family, and (ii) any Travel, to the extent the Investigator determines that the Reviewable Interest relates to the Investigators' Institutional Responsibilities) received in the preceding 12 months. Investigators must update their disclosures annually during the period of the PHS award, as well as within 30 days of discovering or acquiring a new Reviewable Interest.
A. Travel Disclosures: Only PHS-funded Investigators are required to disclose Travel. A $5,000 de minimis applies to travel reporting2. The following information must be provided in connection with any Travel disclosure provided in the context of PHS-funded Research:
1. The purpose of the trip;
2. The identity of the sponsor/organizer of the trip;
3. The destination of the trip; and
4. The duration of the trip.
B. Additional Information Requested by HMS: Investigators must provide in a timely manner any information related to their disclosed Reviewable Interests that HMS, in its discretion, deems relevant to its review and FCOI assessment.
III. Review by HMS. Prior to expenditure of any funds under a Sponsored Research award, the Designated Official must reasonably determine whether any Reviewable Interest disclosed by any Investigator is related to the Sponsored Research; if so, whether it can reasonably be determined that the Reviewable Interest constitutes a Financial Conflict of Interest (FCOI); and if an FCOI is determined to exist, how the FCOI will be managed. The determinations of the Designated Official will be informed by the recommendations of the HMS Financial Interest Review Committee, a Faculty committee comprised of representatives across the HMS departments that apply for and/or receive grant funding through HMS.
A. Relatedness Standard: An Investigator's Reviewable Interest is related to Sponsored Research when HMS reasonably determines that the Reviewable Interest could be affected by the Sponsored Research; or is in an entity whose financial interest could be affected by the Sponsored Research. HMS will be informed by the relevant Investigator in the determination of whether a Reviewable Interest is related to the Sponsored Research.
B. FCOI Standard: An FCOI exists if HMS reasonably determines that the Reviewable Interest related to the Sponsored Research could directly and significantly affect the design, conduct or reporting of the Sponsored Research.
IV. Management of Identified FCOIs.
A. Management Techniques: For any identified FCOI, HMS, through its Designated Official and with the advice and counsel of the Financial Interest Review Committee, will take appropriate action to manage the conflict in order to reduce the potential for it to compromise the safety or validity of the Research. Research in which an Investigator is found to have an FCOI will not be permitted to proceed until the Investigator has agreed to implement an acceptable management plan.
B. Disclosed Interests That are Not FCOIs: HMS reserves the right to impose any requirements it sees fit on any disclosed interest, even those that are not prohibited by the Faculty COI Policy, do not constitute Reviewable Interests and/or do not constitute an FCOI requiring management in accordance with this policy and/or applicable regulations.
C. Compliance with Management Plans: Investigators have an on-going obligation to adhere to an imposed management plan and failure to do so may be grounds for sanctions under this policy. HMS will monitor Investigator compliance with an imposed management plan on an ongoing basis until the completion of the Sponsored Research project.
V. Reporting FCOIs to PHS.
A. Content of Report: For all PHS awards, prior to expenditure of any funds under the award, HMS is required to report to the PHS awarding agency the existence of an FCOI and submit an FCOI report.
B. Timing of Report: HMS is responsible for submitting FCOI reports to PHS initially (prior to expenditure of funds), annually during the award period, and within 60 days of any subsequently identified FCOI.
C. Annual FCOI Reports: For any FCOI previously reported by HMS with regard to an ongoing PHS-funded research project, HMS shall provide to the PHS Awarding Component an annual FCOI report that addresses the status of the FCOI and any changes to the management plan for the duration of the PHS-funded research project. The annual FCOI report shall specify whether the FCOI is still being managed or explain why the FCOI no longer exists. HMS shall provide annual FCOI reports to the PHS Awarding Component for the duration of the project period (including extensions with or without funds) in the time and manner specifically specified by the PHS Awarding Component.
VI. Subrecipient. When proposed HMS Research is to be funded by PHS and carried out through a subrecipient, HMS will incorporate as part of a written agreement with the subrecipient terms that establish whether this policy, or that of the subrecipient will apply to the subrecipient's Investigators, as well as the time frames within which the subrecipient must provide any information necessary to ensure that HMS is able to meet its reporting obligations to the PHS awarding agency.
VII. Public Accessibility. For PHS-funded Research, HMS will ensure public accessibility of information concerning the FCOIs currently held by Senior/Key Personnel subject to this policy. Unless and until HMS establishes a mechanism of making such information available through a publicly accessible website, HMS will, upon receipt of a complete written request for information in accordance with the process and requirements outlined at (http://hms.harvard.edu/about-hms/integrity-academic-medicine/hmshsdm-fcoi-policy-sponsored-research/public-accessibility-request-information), provide a written response within five (5) business days regarding any SFI disclosed and still held by the Senior/Key Personnel that has been determined to relate to the PHS-funded research and constitute an FCOI pursuant to this policy.
The information that HMS makes public will include the following: the Investigator's name; the Investigator's title and role with respect to the research project; the name of the entity which the significant financial interest is held; the nature of the significant financial interest; and the approximate dollar value of the significant financial interest (dollar ranges are permissible: $0-$4,999; $5,000-$9,999; $10,000-$19,999; amounts between $20,000-$100,000 by increments of $20,000; amounts above $100,000 by increments of $50,000) or a statement that the interest is one whose value cannot be readily determined through reference to public prices or other reasonable measures of fair market value.
VIII. New Interests that Arise During an On-Going Sponsored Research Project. To the extent a new Reviewable Interest is disclosed to HMS in the course of an on-going Sponsored Research project (i.e., an Investigator who is new to participating in the Research discloses a Reviewable Interest or an existing Investigator discloses a new Reviewable Interest), or HMS identifies a Reviewable Interest that was not previously reviewed in a timely manner by HMS in accordance with this policy, HMS will, within 60 days from the date of the disclosure: (i) determine if the Reviewable Interest relates to the Investigator's Research; (ii) if it relates, determine if it qualifies as an FCOI; and (iii) if it is an FCOI, implement on at least an interim basis a management plan in accordance with this policy. HMS may, depending on the circumstances of the SFI, conclude that additional interim measures are necessary with regard to the Investigator's participation in the Research between the date of disclosure or identification and the completion of HMS's review (including, where warranted for PHS-funded Research, a retrospective review as discussed below).
IX. Retrospective Review, Identification of Bias and Mitigation Reporting.
For PHS-funded Research, in the event of failure to meet PHS regulations, including failure by the Investigator to disclose timely a Reviewable Interest that is determined to constitute an FCOI; HMS's failure to review or manage such an FCOI; or Investigator failure to comply with an FCOI management plan, HMS will:
A. Within 60 days of identifying the SFI: HMS shall implement on at least an interim basis, a management plan that shall specify the actions that have been, and will be, taken to manage such financial conflict of interest;
B. Retrospective Review: HMS shall, within 120 days of its determination of noncompliance, complete a retrospective review of the Investigator's activities and the PHS-funded research projects to determine whether any PHS-funded research, or portion thereof, conducted during the time period of the noncompliance, was biased in the design, conduct or reporting of such research. HMS shall document the retrospective review, which shall include, at a minimum, the following key elements:
i. Project number;
ii. Project title;
iii. PD/PI or contact PD/PI if a multiple PD/PI model is used;
iv. Name of the Investigator with the FCOI;
v. Name of the entity with which the Investigator has a financial conflict of interest;
vi. Reason(s) for the retrospective review;
vii. Detailed methodology used for the retrospective review (e.g. methodology of the review process, composition of the review panel, documents reviewed);
viii. Findings of the review; and
ix. Conclusions of the review.
C. Mitigation: If bias is found during the retrospective review of PHS-funded Research, HMS will notify the PHS awarding agency promptly, if applicable, develop and implement a mitigation plan, and submit the PHS required mitigation report, which will include at least the elements documented in the retrospective review and a description of the impact of the bias on the Research project and HMS's plan of action or actions taken to eliminate or mitigate the effect of the bias. Any FCOI report submitted to the PHS awarding agency with respect to such Research will be updated as necessary in light of the results of the retrospective review.
D. Disclosure for PHS-Funded Drug/Device Research: In any case in which the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) determines that a PHS-funded project of clinical research whose purpose is to evaluate the safety or effectiveness of a drug, medical device, or treatment has been designed, conducted, or reported by an Investigator with an FCOI that was not managed or reported by HMS, the Investigator will be required to disclose the FCOI in each public presentation of the results of the research and to request an addendum to previously published presentations.
X. Training. For PHS-funded Research, Investigators must complete all required conflicts of interest training prior to engaging in Research at or under the auspices of HMS, and at least every four years following the initial training. Additionally, Investigators will be required to receive training immediately in any of the following circumstances:
- HMS revises its policy or procedures governing FCOI in PHS-funded Research in any manner that affects the requirements applicable to Investigators;
- An Investigator is new to HMS; or
- HMS finds that an Investigator is not in compliance with this policy or an imposed management plan.
XI. Record Retention. HMS will maintain records relating to all Investigator disclosures of financial interests, and its review of, and response to, such disclosures (whether or not a disclosure resulted in a determination of a financial conflict of interest) and all actions taken in pursuant to this policy or any retrospective review, for a minimum of three (3) years from the date the final expenditures report is submitted to the PHS. Records will be maintained by the Office for Academic and Research Integrity.
XII. Noncompliance and Sanctions. In the event an Investigator fails to comply with this policy or an FCOI management plan imposed hereunder, the Office of the Dean may impose a wide variety of sanctions, including but not limited to restricting or conditioning the Investigator's ability to apply for grants through HMS, as well as imposing one or more of the sanctions outlined in the HMS COI Policy. Additionally, if the failure of an Investigator to comply with this policy or an FCOI management plan appears to have biased the design, conduct or reporting of PHS-funded Research, HMS shall promptly notify the PHS awarding agency of the corrective action taken or to be taken.
1 As a point of clarification, this policy does not apply to Sponsored Research awards that come through the Harvard affiliated institutions or through any other school at Harvard University (e.g., the School of Public Health). This policy is limited to Sponsored Research that is applied for and received through HMS.
2 The $5000 de minimis means that an investigator does not have to report travel if the investigator receives less than $5000 in aggregate from the entity (including the travel). In other words, an Investigator only has to report travel if a reasonable estimate for that travel exceeds $5000, the investigator earns more than $5000 from the entity sponsoring or reimbursing the travel, or the combination of the two exceed $5000.

Eligibility for major VA benefits
I was diagnosed with multiple myeloma two years ago after suffering excruciating pain in my lower back for the entire summer of 2001. I couldn't figure out why I was having such pain and the X-rays and CAT scans revealed nothing significant. It wasn't until the doctor reviewed the blood test results 1/2 hour before surgery that he suspected I might have myeloma. Following surgery and a biopsy, the diagnosis was confirmed. I lived with it for the first year and a half always wondering how I might have been exposed to something that could have caused this, as I was relatively young (54) and was in reasonable physical health. I had worked in executive government positions since leaving the military without exposure to toxic substances.
In March of 2003, on the MM listserv (www.acor.org/myeloma.html), a wonderful woman, Taura King, wrote in stating that veterans with MM who were exposed to Agent Orange (AO) were potentially eligible for a vast array of Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) benefits. I figured that since I was in Korea, and knew nothing about spraying of AO there, that I would not qualify and figured it would be a waste of time to apply. Boy, was I wrong – and thus begins the good news for many veterans with MM.
What might you be eligible for?
How/why might you be eligible?
For those stationed in Viet Nam, even if only there for one hour, the VA grants "presumptive eligibility"; that is, one does not have to demonstrate exposure or connection between AO and MM. If you fall into the following categories where the military has ADMITTED spraying or testing AO, there is a reasonably good chance you will qualify for up to a 100% disability rating from the VA. What is required frequently depends upon the regional office and/or the service officer involved in reviewing your claim.
Other areas where veterans allege AO to have been sprayed include:
The military has NOT admitted AO use in the above three locations and thus filing a successful disability claim is much more problematic for those who were there. It is also noted that AO has a half-life of as much as several decades, as noted by the diseases still being experienced by Vietnamese citizens today who farm land sprayed with AO back in the '60s and '70s and who drank the water it was polluted with. Again, however, getting the VA to agree that you contracted MM due to the continued contamination of AO if you served in Korea in the '70s for example is problematic. I'm not sure anyone has been successful in that endeavor.
How to apply and what to expect
Get a rep from the Vietnam Veterans of America (yes, they WILL help other vets exposed to AO), American Legion, Veterans of Foreign Wars, or Disabled American Vets to represent you. They know a lot more about this than most of us individually, and they don't charge a dime to help you. If you call and they DON'T know about this, call another group! The admission about spraying in Korea only came about a couple of years ago, and is not widely publicized. For more information on the disability compensation programs of the VA, go to www.va.gov and click on "Compensation."
The process can take up to 18 months. Mine took only 4 months, and you might be fortunate too. You can help speed the process by providing extensive documentation of your military assignments, your current medical condition and doctors' statements, and a list of your OTHER medical conditions that are a result of MM or the treatment for MM (e.g. peripheral neuropathy, erectile dysfunction, depression, anxiety, sleep apnea).
A list of resources to aid in this process can be found on my homepage at www.caringbridge.org/ca/tomcourbat.
I hope this is of help to our myelomic veterans.

1. How will the Ravens fare against the read option? San Francisco's first two playoff games have been a perfect example of why the read option can be so difficult to defend. Against Green Bay in the divisional round, 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick ran all over the Packers, racking up 181 yards. Determined not to let that happen the next week, the Atlanta Falcons did a good job taking away Kaepernick's running lanes — but left too much space between the tackles and the 49ers still managed 149 yards on the ground. In preparing for Kaepernick, the Ravens can turn on their game tape from Week 14, when they faced Robert Griffin III of the Redskins. RG3 gained 34 yards on seven carries in that game before being hurt in the fourth quarter. Similar numbers by Kaepernick today would be a big success for the Ravens.
2. How will the 49ers fare against the deep ball? No quarterback has thrown deep down the field as much as the Ravens' Joe Flacco. According to ESPN Stats and Information, Flacco has attempted 101 passes that have traveled at least 21 yards in the air. The improvement has come in how many of those he's completing. In the first 13 games, his completion percentage was 34.2. After the Ravens replaced Cam Cameron with Jim Caldwell as offensive coordinator, Flacco's completed 53.6 percent of those passes. The Ravens have better balance under Caldwell, running the ball 49 percent of the time. That has opened things for Flacco. Also according to ESPN Stats, the 49ers have allowed just three touchdowns on passes that have traveled at least 21 yards in the air. Opponents are completing just 29 percent of passes of that length although the 49ers have struggled a bit of late in this department. Atlanta's Matt Ryan hit Julio Jones on a deep pass for a touchdown in the NFC Championship game.
3. Opposite strengths in red zone. San Francisco has shown big improvement since the end of the regular season in the red zone. The 49ers have scored seven touchdowns on nine trips inside the opposition's 20-yard line in their two playoff games, a 78 percent success rate. That's up from 51 percent in the regular season. The Ravens, on the other hand, have carried over their defensive success in the red zone from the regular season. They allowed touchdowns on just 43.4 percent of red zone trips by their opponents in the regular season. They've dropped that number to 40 percent in the playoffs.
4. Endurance issues on defense. The Ravens have played 1,342 defensive snaps this season, the most in the NFL since 2001. The 49ers have had nine players play at least 90 percent of their defensive snaps. No other team had more than six, according to ESPN. San Francisco had better success in the regular season, allowing just 17.1 points per game, which was second in the NFL. That's a good omen. Teams finishing in the top two in that category are 16-5 in the Super Bowl (when not facing another top-two team) and have won eight straight games.
5. Harbaughs not afraid of bold decisions. Give the Harbaugh brothers credit: they're willing to take risks. San Francisco's Jim named Kaepernick the starter after Alex Smith suffered a concussion at midseason. Baltimore's John replaced Cameron as offensive coordinator with just three weeks left in the regular season. It wouldn't be a surprise either head coach try to catch his brother off guard with trick plays.
Outlook: With teams this physical, the pads should be popping today. The Ravens believe they're a team of destiny, but the 49ers are slightly more talented, and that will win out.
Prediction: San Francisco 27, Baltimore 23

Fresh coffee was available to citizens as they entered the police training room on Sept. 10, for the first of eight weekly citizens police academy classes hosted by the Goose Creek Police Department.
About 18 citizens attended the unique opportunity to learn about the police force.
"We live in a great country where we can freely assemble," 34-year law enforcement veteran GCPD Chief Harvey Becker said.
Becker has spent 33 of his years in law enforcement at GCPD and 25 years as chief.
Patrol Division Commander Capt. Shawn Laffey said he has spent all 18 of his years in law enforcement at GCPD. He said there are 46 traffic patrol officers.
Capt. David Aarons is the special operations division commander and essentially runs the citizens police academy. He has spent 17 years in law enforcement, most of them at GCPD.
Crime Prevention Specialist Kevin Scott said he's been at GCPD nearly five years.
"The intent is not to teach you to be a police officer, but to inform you of why we do what we do," Becker said. "You're educated and informed and you can educate and inform your friends.
"We are not as effective as we can be if you don't trust us. We need you to be our eyes and ears. I don't think we want to live in a police state where there is an officer at every corner. Hopefully this (academy) will lead to a stronger trust-based relationship."
Scott said every city faces challenges, and Goose Creek is no different.
"Drugs are there," he said. "I don't care what socio-economic neighborhood you live in. We don't have a bubble over Goose Creek. What we're seeing more and more of are meth labs. It's scary stuff."
Becker handed out a 10-question multiple choice quiz to test each citizen's knowledge of GCPD and overall police operations. This included information such as the $33,000 annual starting salary for a certified police officer and the 2013 department budget of $6 million, a question many got wrong.
Becker said it is a 24/7 operation that includes holiday pay. He said fringe benefits are health insurance, retirement and workman's comp.
"Salaries are much of the operating cost," Becker said. "Gas. There's always a motor running."
This is the third year GCPD has had enough interest from the public to conduct the classes. The first one was in 2004 and the last one was in 2007.
"It's a collateral resource," Aarons said. "Everyone who comes here has already worked a full day."
A monthly report handed to citizens showed in August 2013 there were 86 crimes against persons, 110 against property, 10 traffic DUIs, seven bench warrant cases, seven alcohol violations and three weapons violations.

New Genomics tests now available
New Genomics tests now available
Two new genomic tests just hit the market. Not only can Holstein breeders test females on the traditional 50K test, but they can also use the just released 3K SNP (single-nucleotide polymorphism) and the 800K (HD) test. Meanwhile, the American Jersey Cattle Association also released the 3K chip to breeders.
Here is some background on understanding these new tests. Let's use PTA Milk (predicted transmitting ability for milk) as an example, which for milk would have a 42 percent reliability.
The 50K SNP test that has been on the market for the past two years yields a 72 percent reliability. The price for this test was reduced with the introduction of the 3K and 800K tests.
The new 3K SNP Test offers breeders a sizable gain in reliability over traditional parent averages. Using the 3K chip, which is less expensive than the 50K test, does generate a higher reliability over PTA alone. When the sire and maternal grandsire have 50K test results (all previous animals were tested with the 50K test), but the dam doesn't, raises reliability to 60 percent. If both parents have 50K tests results, the reliability goes to 65.
The 800K (HD) SNP Test gives breeders 74 percent reliability on an animal's genetic future. However, this more comprehensive test is the more expensive option.

The Berkeley County Auditor wants to be sure that all Berkeley County property owners are receiving all the property tax exemptions that may be available to them.
The following information will help you determine if you qualify for an exemption.
The Homestead Exemption Act applies to the primary residence of homeowners who qualify in one of three ways: are 65 years of age or over, are totally and permanently disabled, or are legally blind.
This act exempts the first $50,000 off the value of the qualified applicants home. The Homestead Exemption Act requires the taxpayer to come in to the County Auditors office and apply. The exemption continues in effect unless there is a change in the title of the residence, change in disability or marital status, change of primary residence, the property is disposed of, or the dwelling is rented.
This act may apply to living trusts and other trusts if the trustee holds legal title to the home and the beneficiary of the trust is qualified by age or disability.
A taxpayer may be eligible for exemption of taxes on the qualified residence by the SC Department of Revenue if a homeowner has a 100% total and permanent service-connected disability. This disability exemption may be from the Veterans Administration, Law Enforcement, or Fire-fighter services. It also applies if the homeowner is a paraplegic or hemiplegic.
For the purposes of this exemption, paraplegic or hemiplegic includes a person with Parkinsons disease, Multiple Sclerosis, or Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis, which has caused the same ambulatory difficulties as a person with paraparesis or hemiparesis. The Auditors office would be happy to assist in the completion of this application form.
We encourage any homeowner who may qualify for these programs to contact the Berkeley County Auditors Office for assistance.
Please come by our office located at 1003 Highway 52 in Moncks Corner or call 723-3800 (Charleston), 567-3136 (Saint Stephen), or 719-4727 (Moncks Corner) for more information.
Visit our webpage at berkeleycountysc.gov for more information.
If you are already receiving one of these exemptions, you do not have to reapply unless your circumstances have changed as noted above. You will see the exemption breakdown on your yearly tax bill.

No other place in the Engadine can boast so many hours of sunshine as Celerina. That the sun-drenched village shines in a special light is also due to the charming village center with its typical Engadine houses.
Thanks to innovative hotels there is always something going on in Celerina – a concert, a party, always small, but always well arranged and therefore attractive. Every August, the New-Orleans Jazz Scene meets here to indulge for three days in good old Jazz from New Orleans. But also visitors who seek peace and quiet will find it: on the plain with its spase forests in whose heart the Stazersee, a supremely romantic lake invites you to take a dip.
The mountain trains at Celerina leading high up offer breathtaking views. Connoisseurs of fine cuisine will find the resort town's only mountain restaurant on Muottas Muragl, which in the evening invites you to enjoy "Mountain Dining" and in daytime offers hikers challenging paths with panoramic views of Upper Engadines lakes.
Mountainbikers find demanding trails on Corviglia/Marguns, and families with children enjoy themselves on the large playground at the Marguns Mountain Station. Children frolic in the new lakeside splashing pool. The return to Celerina takes place via the Fairytale Trail or down the slope by Trottinett scooter.
The family-friendly ski area of Corviglia/Piz Nair is located above Celerina. Nearby, on Muottas Muragl, sledding and winterhiking rule the day. Cross-country skiers explore the Upper Engadine's extensive network of trails starting from Celerina. Ice sport fans pursue their skating or curling hobby on Europe's sunniest rink. If you are looking for an adrenaline rush, you will find it in a taxi bob on the famous Olympic Bob Run.
- Segantini-Museum – dedicated to the painter Giovanni Segantini who spent the final five years of his life in the Engadine.
Top Events
- Celerina New Orleans Jazz Festival – meeting ground of national and international Jazz luminaries (August).
- Cattle descent – festive procession at the end of the Alpine summer (September).
- Christmas Market (December).

A device similar to a dustpan or miniature shovel, used to pick up dog droppings during a dogwalk. A long attached handle relieves the operator from having to bend over. Usually a spring-activated flap (controlled by a squeezegrip at the top of the handle) is manually opened and closed on the leading edge of the blade during the catch, preventing the poop from rolling out. Use of the pooper scooper is considered good etiquette, and with a bit of practice resembles a golf putt or croquet strike.

With preseason over, and an exhibition under its belt, the Stetson lacrosse team is set to play its first ever regular season game this Sunday. The Hatters will host Liberty at 2:00 p.m. at the Athletics Training Center.
Lacrosse was announced as a new sport for the Atlantic Sun Conference in November of 2011, with Stetson joining Jacksonville, Kennesaw State, Detroit, and Howard as first year members for the spring of 2013. Nicole Moore was announced as the first ever Stetson Lacrosse coach just about a month later. With nearly all freshmen on the first squad in program history, the Hatters are ready to begin building the legacy.
"We have been waiting a long time for this historical moment," Stetson head coach Nicole Moore said. "We truly are building the legacy, and it is a very exciting time at Stetson!"
Liberty finished the 2012 season on a five-game losing streak en route to an overall record of 3-14. The Flames were 2-5 in the National Lacrosse Conference, and fell to now Atlantic Sun member Detroit in the first round of the NLC Tournament. In its first season of Big South play, Liberty was selected to finish fifth out of eight teams in the conference in 2013. Sophomore Morgan Becker is the Flames top returning scorer after totaling 30 goals and 11 assists a year ago.
"We have scouting reports on Liberty from their play last year, but we will concentrate on our game and our play," Moore said about Stetson's plan for the season-opener. "Our goal is to build game to game and grow as a program."
A live stream of Sunday's game against Liberty will be available on GoHatters.com. Live Stats, the @StetsonLacrosse Twitter feed, and the text message service Hat-Alerts are also available for in-game updates.
"I expect the team to play with heart and play together," Moore concluded. "We have goals for our program and we will work towards those goals. I am very excited for these scholar athletes to have this monumental experience."

do we need vaccinations
my children are 2, 3, and 7. My seven year old was diagnosed with autism shortly after his vaccinations. This may be a coincidence but it made me nervous about giving my other two children the vaccinations. Do they have to have them?
26th February 2014 06:55 AM #2
Dear angel0284,
Thank you very much for your post.
I'm sorry to hear that your son was diagnosed with autism possibly as a side-effect to his vaccinations. Do you know which vaccination he had before the autism diagnosis? The vaccine-autism debate has been going on for some time (as I'm sure you are aware) - particularly with regard to the MMR vaccine and it is still a contentious issue.
The short answer to your question is no - your children do not have to be vaccinated. Vaccines are a choice. You may find the balanced book The Parents Concise Guide to Vaccinations by Dr. Feder helpful.
I feel that, as parents, we need to consider the likelihood of our child contracting a particular disease. This will depend on the incidence of the disease in the population in which we live. We also need to look carefully at the symptoms (and probability of these symptoms when contracting the disease) as well as the risks associated with the vaccines (and the probability of suffering from these risks). I believe that we need to consider each child individually; taking into account any additional medical problems they may have. Vaccination is a personal choice for each family and each child they have.
Best wishes,

The Hamburg Central School District is not trying to intimidate a community blogger by trying to find out his or her identity, the district's lawyer said Friday.
The school district served a subpoena on Google, asking the company to identify who runs the Hamburg Educational Ethics blog. The person who maintains the blog, which often posts comments that are anti-school administration, is known as "Concerned Hamburger."
The subpoena also asked for the identities of two people who post to the blog, "Klozman" and "Super."
"The subpoena was an attempt to gain information in our civil lawsuit relating to the illegal recording of an executive session," said attorney Richard Sullivan. "It has nothing to do with intimidating [anyone]."
But the anonymous blogger, Concerned Hamburger, and Klozman and Super, see the subpoena as an affront to the First Amendment.
"We live in a country that was founded on principles of Freedom, Justice and Liberty. I have relatives who fought and lost their lives for this great land, and the likes of the Hamburg School District will not trample on the precious freedoms I and others enjoy and defend," Concerned Hamburger said in an email to The Buffalo News.
Sullivan said the subpoena is part of the legal process and has nothing to do with denying anyone's freedom of expression.
"It's not a significant First Amendment issue," he said. "That's all pompous nonsense in this case."
However, the attorney for Concerned Hamburger, Joseph M. Finnerty, is seeking to quash the subpoena on the grounds it violated the First Amendment right to anonymous speech and on grounds that it is defective because it does not state why the disclosure is sought. He also is seeking to have the district pay the attorney's fees for Concerned Hamburger.
The subpoena is part of the discovery process in the school district's lawsuit against Sally Stephenson; her daughter Lyndsey Stephenson; and teacher Martha Kavanaugh. The district claims they secretly taped an executive session Sept. 21, 2010, and it is seeking damages from them. The women deny the charge. Since the lawsuit was filed last June, Sally Stephenson has taken a seat on the School Board.
The incident came to light at Tuesday's School Board budget hearing, when Robert Johnstun identified himself as Super. Johnstun often speaks out on school issues, and he asked for an apology from School Board members for involving him in the suit.
Sullivan said he agreed with Finnerty, the attorney for the three Internet posters, to remove Klozman and Super from the subpoena. He said they were names that appeared as people maintaining blogs, and he denied the district is trying to intimidate them.
"If someone's going around saying we cost this man a lot of money, that's not true," he said.
Sullivan said that it was a violation of the law to tape the executive session and that those who were present at the meeting are angry about the secret taping. He said the district believes Kavanaugh and the two Stephensons "caused that taping to take place."
He asked why people are not outraged about the taping.
"It's not a constitutional issue, its a discovery issue in a civil lawsuit. Someone violated the law. We believe we know who did it," Sullivan said.

Private clubs may have been formed for many reasons, but all they have become is a place for alcoholic men to hide from their wives all day because it's cheaper than a divorce. And they'll carry guns too if they so choose.
Either way, if the person with the gun had a drop of alcohol, they better be prosecuted to the fullest extent, otherwise the law will never be effective if everyone gets off easy. With responsibility has to come equal consequence.

Treasurer to retire after term expires
January 31, 2013
City Treasurer Bob Tullis said he's planning to retire from public service when his term expires Dec. 31 — he won't be seeking re-election for a fifth term....
i am glad to hear Tullis is leaving, he has held that position too long, and has done nothing to improve the city's investments...

If you think you can do a better then you should apply for the job when it becomes vacant. I am thankful for his service to the city.

A well earned retirement,Mr. Tullis! You have brought good judgement to the office over the years, as did Mr. Dean. You will be missed and hopefully followed by some one of your ethical character.

Brittney Minichino
B.A. in Global Studies
Penn State Berks
"My name is Brittney Minichino, and I'm a Global Studies student. I chose this major because I wanted a degree that gave me a unique view of the world; I wanted a variety of classes I could take to fulfill my major requirements. I believed that the Global Studies major would challenge me and force me to live outside of my boundaries, and it did just that. Deciding to become a Global Studies major is no easy task for a freshman. This degree not only requires you to take classes on campus, it also requires you to accept the challenge of new experiences."
Recommended Academic Plan

Degree Information Flyer
Global Studies at Penn State Berks
Degree Overview
The Bachelor of Arts in Global Studies program offered by Penn State Berks is designed for students who are interested in a liberal arts degree with a concentration in global studies. Featuring both active and collaborative classroom experiences in addition to intensive study abroad and internship experiences, this program is designed for students who wish to develop a set of analytical and interpersonal skills that will prepare them for entry-level employment in a wide range of government agencies, non-profit organizations, industries, and businesses.
Because of the flexible and broad nature of the degree, students might also use this major as preparation for graduate or professional school in business, law, or the social sciences. This program differs most notably from traditional majors in international/global studies by requiring core courses in world literature and intercultural communication, while retaining the traditional foreign language, history, and political science emphasis of most other programs. Study abroad and an internship with an international organization are also important features of this degree.
Those taking Global Studies as a major or minor can expect to meet the following program objectives:
Students will be able to evaluate global issues theoretically and critically.
Students will be able to use appropriate tools (databases, documents, etc.) to critically evaluate global issues and interpret these sources for bias and validity.
Students will be able to effectively use information systems.
Students will be able to critically evaluate and/or conduct research related to global issues.
Students will demonstrate the ability to use oral and written communication skills regarding global issues.

Eva has been the best writing instructor I've ever had, always providing positive guidance without any form of discouragement. A simple "nudge" here and "let me point you in this direction" etc., is quite refreshing from an instructor instead of the raw criticisms that may hinder one's goal to write and share a personal life story. Thank you Eva and thank you classmates.
Eva, you have an extraordinary gift reaching students of all levels. You have much to offer all who want to discover and explore, becoming more aware. As a teacher and writer you have a divine gift and for me this course has been an answer to prayer. I wish I could have taken it 50 years ago.
From one gardener to another. Some six weeks ago I planted myself in your wonderful writing class, from there you took over and helped me grow. You fertilized me with just the right amount to make me bloom, from there you kept me weeded from the insecurities that might creep in and choke out my roots. Your soil is rich and deep so that I may fluorish for years to come, your skies always sunny and bright so that I will try to grow tall and strong.
I think so many people are afraid to take a class like this, but I am living proof that there is nothing scary about the class. I am not very comfortable with the computer, but this class was made very accessable. I enjoyed the instructors upbeat style and encouraging comments. The other added pleasure was having students from all over the place. I thought it was going to be a local student population, so this was a pleasant surprise.
Thank you for this class. It was a great way to interact with others who are struggling to get their words on paper. I found the discussion area particularly helpful. I've also found that I had a lot more to write about than I thought---and I'm really enjoying it. Thanks again.
This has been a wonderful experience. You've really got me writing. My page a day is often two and three. I've loved the interaction in the class.
This was my first online course, and it has been a very positive learning experience. I felt I got my money's worth and had enough time to submit assignments and do lessons. I enjoyed the interaction with the other students as well as with the teacher/friend/encourager Eva. Well done!
You don't know how powerful your positive attitude in your teaching has been to me. I have learned much and have enjoyed the interaction with you and classmates. This format is fantastic and not intimidating in any way. I have begun to think of myself as a writer now and the pages have been flowing on my nonfiction book. Thanks again and I will be taking your Writerrific class soon.
You have given me the start I needed. I've wanted to write my life story for some time, but couldn't figure out where to begin or how to make it interesting to someone else. I believe the comments, encouragement, and stories you and the other class members have shared have been invaluable to me.
A blog post I wrote was on the "Featured" section of Skirt.com this morning. This is the second time I have made the wall since taking your classes. You have really helped me. I don't doubt myself as much anymore. My thoughts are more organized (Thanks to the Bubble Method) and I am almost believing I might be a writer some day. So, just wanted to say thank you!

Dear Car Coach: I've never had a flat tire and the other day my girlfriend had a flat and waited on the side of the road for hours for a tow truck to come. She was on the phone with me the whole time. We were both concerned. When the tow truck driver finally came, he changed the tire to her spare tire and that was flat, so she had her car towed to a local station and had to buy a new tire. I never thought about this before, but I have no clue how to change a tire and don't want to experience what my friend went through. What do you think I should do? I hope to never have a flat. – J.S., Amherst
Dear J.S.: Most drivers face a flat at least a few times in their lives. There never seems to be a convenient time to get a flat tire. Whatever the cause, a flat tire can result in frustrating delays or leave you stranded if you're not prepared.
I know firsthand that it can be upsetting. I can change a flat tire and have done it many times. I highly recommend that all drivers check their spare tire pressure once a month. The correct tire pressure is located inside the driver's door just like your regular tire pressure.
Many manufacturers no longer offer spare tires but offer tire inflation products. They are the best choice for those who don't know how to change a flat tire at the side of the road is getting narrower and can be unsafe.
Fixing your flat with tire sealant is a quick and easy way to get moving again fast. Many commercial products are available that are designed to fix your flat tire and get you to your final destination by simply pressing a button.
The Fix-A-Flat Ultimate 1-Step system is the safest and quickest way to get back on the road. This kit is based on the same technology as many of the Tire Repair Kits included in new vehicles in place of spare tires. Fix-A-Flat will not affect your Tire Pressure Monitoring Sensors as other products that can plug them up.
The 1-Step system seals punctures and provides 100 percent inflation in around 7 minutes. At the push of a single button the tire sealant and air are sent into the flat tire, repairing and reinflating the tire in one simple step. No need to wait for a tow or resort to using a tire jack and heavy tools.
• Inspect your tire tread for puncturing objects and remove any objects, if possible.
• Unscrew the cap from the flat tire's air stem. The cap will twist off counterclockwise.
• Screw the injection tube that is included with your tire sealant to the nozzle of the canister. This will attach with a clockwise motion.
• Plug the inflator into a 12-volt accessory power outlet. Do not run vehicle while inflator is operating.
• Attach (black) air hose to sealant cartridge nozzle, located at the top of the sealant cartridge. Close the locking lever.
• Push the yellow power "ON" button to turn on the system. Wait six minutes (in temperatures below 32 degrees, wait 12 minutes). Some sealant may remain in the hose. Turn system off and check tire pressure. If additional air is needed, follow "Inflate a Tire" instructions. Disconnect the system once correct tire pressure has been achieved.
Before you have the tire serviced, let the garage personnel know that sealant was used to fix the flat tire.
Tire sealants are designed to provide a temporary fix and are not intended as a permanent repair. Replace your tire or have it professionally patched to ensure future safety. The sealant should be removed within 100 miles or 10 days.
Don't forget to purchase a replacement canister in case you get a future flat tire.
Dear Car Coach: I have a 2005 Toyota Camry XLE with 46,000 miles. I recently had a preventative maintenance check done and it was suggested that I needed a power steering system flush due to dirty power steering fluid. Nothing in my maintenance manual refers to having this done and I have read conflicting opinions on the Internet as to whether this is needed or not. What is your take on this subject?
– R.M., Buffalo
Dear R.M.: I agree that changing power steering fluid with low mileage doesn't make sense. Often, power steering fluid will turn dark and murky within minutes of being added. You might not be able to tell whether your steering fluid needs to be changed just by looking at it. This may be why the technician thought you need a flush.

The definition of "Smoke you out" is to get a person completely blitzed on weed for a very long time.
Example: If a girl named Melissa said to a boy named Todd, Hey come work with me for four days and I will smoke you out. To accomplish this Melissa would have to get Todd high on weed for the full four days. If said girl only gives Todd one tiny roach on the first day this is "not smoking you out".

South Carolina Dept. of Transportation District 1 Commissioner Jim Rozier said there is no easy fix when it comes to replacing the collapsed bridge on Cypress Gardens Road.
Whatever it is we do to replace this bridge we will do expeditiously, Rozier said. But even if we started tomorrow it will still be nine months to a year before a permanent replacement to the bridge can be completed.
Until then the DOT will explore temporary solutions beyond the 26-mile round trip detour down Hwy. 52 to Redbank Road and back up Bushy Park Road for businesses like DuPont and Cypress Gardens.
We have to find a quick but reliable solution for DuPonts trucks, Rozier said. At four dollars a gallon for diesel fuel that 26-mile round trip detour will get expensive.
In the aftermath of the April 28 train derailment that resulted in the collapse of the Cypress Gardens Road bridge, Rozier stressed the big importance was to get water restored to the Bushy Park plants that have been without water since the train collided with the bridge on Monday night.
I was out there this morning (Tuesday, April 29) and there were two garden hoses of water still broken from the ruptured water main, Rozier said.
He added that the bridge was originally built around 1938 and had been widened in the mid-1970s.
According to DOT records the bridge in question passed the latest inspection in Oct. 2013.
There was no sign of any structural damage found during this most recent inspection, Rozier said.
As for replacing the collapsed bridge, Rozier said finding a quick and temporary fix for the structure will require some creative thinking.
We have a temporary bridge that is about to go out of service up in Aiken, he said. We can get that down here in the next week and elimiate that long detour.
It will help while we rebuild this bridge.
Another alternative Rozier suggested would be to build an over-the-track crossing to reroute traffic while construction of the new bridge could be completed.
The key is to find a quick solution to a 26-mile detour so businesses can resume normal operations.

Since Auguste Comte coined the term in the early part of the nineteenth century, sociology has been one of the most popular majors on college and university campuses. With an emphasis on the study of human societies, sociology covers a wide area including politics, religion, the economy, the legal system, the family, social work, and folklore.
In Benedictine's Sociology program, you will learn how people organize themselves and behave in society. Taking a cross-cultural perspective, you will study such topics as human culture; the interaction between and within groups; the creation, evolution, and transmission of group norms; and the primary factors that hold groups together and/or weaken them. You will also learn about the statistical and research methods used by professional sociologists, as well as gain exposure to the fundamentals of the other social sciences (psychology and economics).
Students who choose to major in sociology complete a six-course "department core" and then select one of two concentrations: sociology or criminal justice. Interested students also have the option to pursue a minor in the field.
As a sociology major, you will complete at least 39 credit hours of coursework with a grade of "C" or better. You will learn the fundamental concepts of sociological study, statistics, research methods in the social sciences, the origins and development of sociological theory to modern times and how to do a senior thesis in the program's capstone course.
All majors are required to complete the "department core" and then select one of two concentrations within the program: sociology or criminal justice. All courses in the Department must be completed with a grade of "C" or better.
Majors are also required to complete MATH 105, MATH 108, or MATH 110(3) with a grade of "C" or better and fulfill the
social science core requirement by taking one course in psychology, one in economics, and
one in political science/anthropology.
The sociology concentration consists of 7 elective courses.
The criminal justice concentration of the sociology major consists of 22 hours of coursework:
A Sociology minor consists of a program of courses totaling at least 21 hours, submitted to and
approved by the program director, including at least 12 hours of courses at the 200-level or above,
of which at least three hours must be at the 300-level and must be completed with a "C" or better.
PSYC 150, PSYC 251, and PSYC 351 may not be included for the minor.
Students desiring to be certified to teach sociology-anthropology at the secondary level (grades 6-12) are required to major in social science.

Victor Wooten has been a tireless innovator as both solo artist and as bassist with Bela Fleck and the Flecktones for nearly a quarter century. During that time, Wooten also has risen to prominence as an educator whose seemingly limitless virtuosity on the instrument is belied by his unassuming manner and oft-expressed belief that with hard work, eager ears and a certain modicum of talent, anything is possible. He's left an indelible mark on the music, and the attitude behind the making of that music, since emerging as an electric bass wunderkind on level with greats like Jaco Pastorius, Stanley Clarke and a small handful of others.
It makes perfect sense that Wooten and his band have joined forces with the revered jam-based guitarist Jimmy Herring and his band for a tour. Herring – a member of Widespread Panic and a veteran of stints with Col. Bruce Hampton's Aquarium Rescue Unit, the Allman Brothers Band, Jazz is Dead, and Phil Lesh & Friends – has just released the inspired new recording "Subject To Change Without Notice," a collection that deftly navigates the interconnectedness of jam, funk, rock, jazz and folk idioms. Like Wooten, Herring is simply a stunning player.
The Victor Wooten Band and the Jimmy Herring Band perform at 8 p.m. Saturday in the Rockwell Hall Performing Arts Center, Buffalo State College (1300 Elmwood Ave.). Tickets are $40 to $45, $37 for seniors, and $15 for Buffalo State students (box office, www.buffalostatepac.org).
