With low property taxes and generous income tax breaks for seniors, South Carolina has landed on Kiplinger's list of Top 10 tax-friendly states for retirees.
The top 10
The 10 most tax-friendly states for retirees, according to Kiplinger:
1. Alaska
2. Wyoming
3. Georgia
4. Arizona
5. Mississippi
6. Delaware
7. Nevada
8. Louisiana
9. South Carolina
10. Florida
The personal finance website Kiplinger.com ranked Alaska the most tax-friendly, due to its lack of a sales or income tax. South Carolina came in at No. 9, ahead of Florida.
"You beat Florida because Florida does not exempt as much income," said Sandra Block, a senior associate editor at Kiplinger's Personal Finance. "Alaska came in at No. 1, but I'm not sure how many retirees are going to move there."
Most of the states that ranked highest for retiree tax-friendliness were in the South and West, while Northeastern states fared poorly, as did California and Oregon.
"Sometimes I feel like I'm an ambassador for people moving here from other states," said Patrick Cobb, spokesman for AARP South Carolina. "They are always looking to our state because of all the (tax) exemptions."
South Carolina scored well in Kiplinger's ranking because, in addition to Social Security benefits being exempt from state income tax, each senior can deduct another $15,000 of income from any source starting at age 65, and that's after counting their federal tax deduction. As a result, many seniors pay no South Carolina income tax.
In addition, homeowners at age 65 are exempt from property tax on the first $50,000 of the value of their legal residence, once they apply for the Homestead Exemption at their local county auditor's office. And property taxes for homeowners are generally low in South Carolina, as legal residences are exempt from the property tax that funds public school operations.
"I hate to compare it to New Jersey, but I just talked with someone from there, and they could sell their house and find a comparable one here for less, and pay far less in property taxes," Cobb said.
Throw in some other goodies, such as reduced vehicle-registration fees, discounted park passes and $9 lifetime hunting and fishing licenses, and seniors have a lot to like, financially, in the Palmetto State.
"When you talk about low-tax states, you do have to look at the trade-offs, like the quality of schools," Block said. "But for retirees, some of those services aren't very important."
Most tax breaks South Carolina offers to seniors aren't related to their ability to pay, as Strom Thurmond Institute Senior Fellow Holly Ulbrich noted while testifying about proposed property tax breaks before a state Senate committee in 2005.
"Elderly people are now less likely to be poor than younger families, in addition to which they get a lot of income tax relief in this state that younger families don't," Ulbrich testified. "Not all elderly people are on fixed incomes — most are not."
State and local governments like to attract retirees because they stoke the real estate market and don't typically demand much in terms of police, schools, and other local services.

quote: Regarding #1, not directed at the article, more of a general comment. Basically anything under the sun made by man is patentable. Sweat of the brow isn't a requirement for patentability if the invention is new and inventive. It's hard to legislate to protect the complicated machine taking years to design if you aren't also protecting the 5 second conception of a new GUI design. Both should be equally patentable imo.
quote: Regarding #3, Here is the statute: http://oami.europa.eu/ows/rw/resource/documents/RC... Check out article 85.Here is an article written by a German patent attorney:http://patlit.blogspot.com/2011/10/industrial-desi...Here is more commentary: http://mobile.osnews.com/story.php/25056/The-Commu...Germany litigates utlity patent infringement and validity in two separate proceedings. For instance, you can win on infringement and two years later find out you actually lost because the patent was invalid. Not sure if that is the same for designs. In the US it is done all at once for both utility patents and designs.
quote: Bad patents get granted due to the limited time a patent office can invest in examining each one, bad examiner training, etc. It's inevitable. That's why we have the courts to hopefully clear these things up.

Mistakes are a part of knitting, but you can learn how to fix them with knitwear designer and author Ann Budd. Discover what your stitches should look like so you can catch issues early. Get an overview of counting rows and reading charts to minimize the number of problems you might run into. Read your knitting to easily find your place after you've put your knitting aside. Fix mistakes in stockinette stitch, textured stitches, lace and cable patterns, whether the stitches are still on your needles or even if you've bound off. Rip out rows safely and securely when necessary and ensure that all of your stitches get back on the needles properly. Take the mystique out of mistakes to finish flawless projects.
Meet your instructor, Ann Budd, author of more than a dozen popular knitting books and former senior editor of Interweave Knits magazine. Learn how to identify different kinds of stitches in your knitting, read a chart and understand the importance of correct stitch mount.
If you ever lose count of your rows, Ann can get you back on track. Using a practice swatch, learn how to count rows in garter stitch, ribbing, cables and more.
Whether you put your knitting down for an hour, a week or a year, you'll be able to find your place in the pattern again if you can "read" your stitches. Ann shows you how!
You'll cringe as you watch Ann deliberately drop stitches. You'll breathe a sigh of relief when they're safely back on the needles. And in-between, you'll learn how to fix all those dreaded mistakes that every knitter makes, in garter, stockinette, ribbing and cables.
Dropped selvage stitches might seem like a disaster, but once you see how easily Ann picks them up again, you'll know you can, too!
Made a mistake in your lace? If it's just a few rows back, you might not have to rip out any rows. Ann demonstrates how to find the stitches you need to repair, drop down to them, make your fix, then work your way back up in pattern.
Yes, sometimes you do have to rip back. Maybe that mistake is several inches back, or you knit the wrong pattern row, or you made multiple mistakes. Ann shows you how to put in a lifeline that "saves" all your good knitting and lets you rip back without going too far. If you don't have a lifeline, all is not lost; see how to pick up live stitches and how to "tink" (or knit backwards) to get your work back on the needle.
You've finally bound off and seamed that beautiful sweater. The first day you wear it, you snag it on a nail and rip a hole in it. Don't cry! Ann will show you how to fix not only the hole, but also the mistake you made in the stitch texture and even that wrongly twisted cable. Your careful surgery won't even leave a scar.
"Ann is very logical and thorough in her presentation and I have already picked up a useful tip about selvedge edgings. I knew that traditionally a lot of knitters would slip a stitch at the beginning of a row but I didn't know why, I thought it was just their preference. Now I know why! (...)I love the way Craftsy teachers teach us how to read our knitting, not something I was aware of BC (Before Craftsy). My knitting and my understanding has improved heaps as a result of this in the last year or so. Ann is a good communicator and has a warm personality which makes me feel like we are going to get along really well."

Seattle-area clergy demand action on guns
Seattle-area clergy from many faiths are presenting a united front against gun violence, demanding specific measures from elected leaders. Representing churches and synagogues, seminaries, mosques and Sikh temples, the religious leaders say it's time to move beyond simply mourning the slaughter of 26 people in Newtown Connecticut. They say now it's time for action.
Evoking a string of mass killings, including one in Seattle last spring, the clergy made the case for changing laws and changing attitudes. Imam Abdullah Polovina is with the Islamic Center of Shoreline.
"Islamic holy book states God will not change your conditions until you change yourselves. Let's don't do God's part. Do our part," Polovina said.
Reverend Leslie Braxton of New Beginnings Christian Fellowship said unrestricted access to guns no longer makes sense.
"To say things like 'guns don't kill' is like saying bats don't hit homeruns. But no one's ever seen a baseball player hit a homerun without a bat. It does matter," Braxton said.
About two dozen clergy appeared together at Temple de Hirsch Sinai in Seattle's Capital Hill neighborhood, and presented a statement calling for specific gun control measures, including universal background checks and a ban on assault-style weapons. They say they'll be collecting signatures from clergy all over Washington and will present the statement to public officials.

COL Kevin Abbott (Nephrology Chief and Program Director) was awarded the Surgeon General's Award
Dr. Abbott is Professor of Medicine at the Uniformed Services University Hebert School of Medicine.COL Kevin Abbott (Nephrology Chief and Program Director) was awarded the Surgeon General's Award for Military Academic Excellence (The Lewis Aspey Mologne Award) at the Army OTSG Consultant's meeting on 3 December 2013, by LTG Horoho.
Louis N. Pangaro, M.D., MACP, Professor and Chair, Uniformed Services University, Department of Medicine
Dr. Louis N. Pangaro is Chairman of the Department of Medicine at the Uniformed Services University. His medical degree is from Georgetown University (1973), and he did a residency in Internal Medicine and fellowship in endocrinology there. In 1978, Dr. Pangaro joined the Army to do a research fellowship at Walter Reed Army Medical Center, winning the Bailey K. Ashford Research Award for developing the first immunoassay for 3,5 - Diiodothyronine. He retired in 1998, receiving the Defense Superior Service Medal. Dr. Pangaro joined the Uniformed Services University in 1978, initially as an Instructor in the Department of Medicine, and was eventually appointed Professor with tenure, in 1998, upon his retirement from the United States Army. In 1990, he served as the Department's Director of Education Programs and Vice-chair, and was selected as Department Chairman in June of 2008. Since 2009 Dr. Pangaro has been one of the faculty leaders of curricular redesign for the USU School of Medicine.
Dr. Pangaro's scholarly work is in the evaluation of the competence of medical trainees. He created "standardized examinees" to calibrate the validity of the prototype clinical skills examination of the US Medical Licensing Exam. He created a "synthetic" framework for defining expectations of students and residents (the "RIME scheme", for reporter-interpreter-manger-educator). This conceptual alternative to the traditional knowledge-skills-attitudes paradigm is used in half of American medical schools. Dr. Pangaro has personally evaluated and given individual feedback to more than several thousand medical students. Nearly all of them are still part of the military medical community. Starting in 2000, Dr. Pangaro has directed a six-day course for military GME program directors in assessing competence, and he co-directs the annual Harvard Macy International Program for a Systems Approach to Assessment in the Health Sciences Education. He is an at-large member of the NBME.
Dr. Pangaro is on the editorial boards of Academic Medicine and Teaching and Learning in Medicine, and is past-chair of the Research in Medical Education Conference Committee of the GEA/AAMC. He has served as President of the Clerkship Directors in Internal Medicine (CDIM), and of the Alliance for Clinical Education (ACE), the coordinating council for eight national organizations of American clerkship directors. Dr. Pangaro has been honored by the AAMC with the Glaser Distinguished Teacher Award (2005), by USU students with the Clements Awards for Excellence in Education (1990) and by the USU Faculty with the inaugural Carol Johns Teaching Medal (2001). He has been recognized by CDIM with all three of their awards: the inaugural award for Outstanding Program Development (1998, now named the Louis Pangaro Award), the Outstanding Educational Research Award (2000), and the Outstanding Service Award (2005); and by the British Embassy Players for his production of Shakespeare's Hamlet (1990). He was recognized by the Army chapter of the American College of Physicians with its inaugural Master Teacher Award (1997) and by the Washington, DC chapter of the College with its Sol Katz Teaching Award (2005) and its Laureate Award (2012). In 2010, Dr. Pangaro was named as a Master of the American College of Physicians (MACP), and in 2012, he received the lifetime achievement award from the Association of Program Directors in Internal Medicine.

BATAVIA – Friends of the Peace Garden near downtown will have a memorial to the victims of the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting in Newtown, Conn., for the remainder of the holiday season. Pink ribbons will adorn the trees, and a memorial to the tragedy will be placed in a glass-covered kiosk in the garden, a sliver of parkland between West Main Street and Tonawanda Creek.
"People feel helpless and a terrible sadness and need a place to go to express their feelings," said Barbara Toal, who supervises the year-old garden. The site was dedicated earlier this year and is marked with a large metal globe and flags of the U.S., Canada and a dozen other nations.

The downtown property tax would have funded the Downtown Sylva Association in its pursuit to increase commerce and economic vitality downtown, with everything from festivals to more parking.
"It is one way of pooling your money together for the greater good," said Sarah Graham, executive director of the downtown association. "The tax was a way for the people who benefit from these services to provide the funding for them, but it is by no means something we want to do without everyone's support. This isn't really the right time for the tax."
The announcement was made to a packed house of more than 40 merchants and building owners at a town meeting Thursday (Feb. 15). Most in the audience were against the tax and were primed to speak out if the downtown group didn't drop the idea. They were also armed with a petition signed by merchants and property owners opposed to the tax.
The tax proposal seemed to pit many long-time merchants against relative newcomers, albeit that somewhat stereotypical assessment doesn't fit in all cases. It appears both sides are ready to forge a new alliance, however. Many of those opposed to tax said they would pay dues voluntarily to support the work of the Downtown Sylva Association.
"I am very supportive of a voluntary organization," said Dodie Blaschik, owner of Dodie's Auction. "I think everyone should step up the plate. We can do that knowing nobody put their hands in your pocket and took one dollar you did not want to give."
Orville Coward, a long-time attorney on Main Street, agreed.
"I believe in it and I believe it should be done, but a special tax area is not the best way," Coward said. "I don't oppose the improvements. I think I contributed as much as anybody to the improvements that have been done downtown in the past and I would be willing to do it again, but nobody's asked me."
The Downtown Sylva Association announced a spring membership drive to do just that. But an organization funded only by dues does not provide a stable source of funding and some merchants will get a free ride.
"With a voluntarily funding mechanism, it means some of us will chip in and others won't, but everyone will still benefit from it," Graham said.
Response from the audience was promising, however.
"If you presented a dues structure, I think the businesses would sign on immediately," said Geoff Allen, owner of Balsam Creek Designs. "If you walked into my business today, we would write you a check today. I think property owners are the same way."
Blaschik suggested harnessing the enthusiasm displayed over the tax issue to rejuvenate interest in the Downtown Sylva Association.
"I think everyone in this room should come to the next meeting of the Downtown Sylva Association," Blaschik said. (The meetings are at 1 p.m. the second Wednesday of the month at town hall.)
Some business owners were concerned the idea would be put to rest for a while, only to re-emerge down the road. Graham said that's not the plan.
"It has to be something y'all want to do," Graham said. "We do not have any plans to come back with this in six months, no."
Graham said the Downtown Sylva Association only had the best interest of downtown at heart when exploring the idea.
"We want all of us to get on the same page to help downtown Sylva reach its full potential," Graham said.
But some long-time business owners seemed to feel like their efforts over the past few decades to make downtown what it is weren't being appreciated or recognized.
"I have seen such great improvement in our town," Dodie Blaschik said. "It wasn't done at a tax supported level. It was done by individuals who put their money at risk to make our beautiful community."
Orville Coward said that the long-time merchants "voluntarily contributed thousands" to downtown improvements over the years.
"I've seen the new people come and they want the same things the old people want done," Coward said.
Some merchants claim the idea was sprung upon them out of nowhere, although discussion of the special tax has been in the media for at least six months. The Downtown Sylva Association said it sent out 160 surveys to business and property owners in the district, but numerous business owners said they never received such a survey.
Merchants in Sylva can expect a survey in the mail within the month asking whether they support the idea of a merchant's association, whether they would be willing to pay dues, if so how much, and what they would expect from the association in return. The town of Sylva sanctioned the survey. It's being conducted for free by graduate students at Western Carolina University.

on January 27, 2013 - 12:20 AM
The season is only four games old but the Buffalo Sabres' woefully unbalanced offense is prompting plenty of questions heading into today's game against the Washington Capitals in Verizon Center.
• When will this team get any secondary scoring? The Sabres are 2-2 and have scored 11 goals in the four games. Each member of the top line (Thomas Vanek, Cody Hodgson, Jason Pominville) has three goals. That means the rest of the roster has combined for just two, by Steve Ott and Tyler Myers in the opener against Philadelphia.
• Will Vanek even play today? He took a hard fall in the second period Friday night and suffered an undisclosed muscle strain, believed to be in his back or rib cage.
"We talked this morning and he's doing OK," coach Lindy Ruff said after practice Saturday in the Northtown Center at Amherst. "We'll wait and see but I really anticipate he plays."
• Wither Mikhail Grigorenko? The 18-year-old rookie played just two shifts in the final 40 minutes of Friday's 3-1 loss to Carolina. Today would be the final game he could play under his five-game junior tryout but Ruff said after practice Saturday that Grigorenko might sit out so the Sabres could buy some more practice time for him and not hit the five-game maximum.
• What will the lines look like? As promised after Friday's loss, Ruff shook things up Saturday. With Vanek out, Marcus Foligno joined Hodgson and Pominville. Grigorenko was on the second line, centering Steve Ott and Drew Stafford. Tyler Ennis was dropped to the third line between Jochen Hecht and Patrick Kaleta while Matt Ellis centered John Scott and Nathan Gerbe on the fourth combination.
The Grigorenko question is a daily one in Sabreland. Ruff gave it a new twist Saturday by admitting he probably erred by playing the rookie on the fourth line with John Scott and Nathan Gerbe in Friday's game. The coach said he was trying to get a better matchup against Carolina center Eric Staal and it left Grigorenko on the outside looking in.
"It's like burning a game," Ruff said forlornly. "For the most part, having the Hecht line against Staal was working pretty good for us. Ninety percent of the time, we wanted a tougher guy on faceoffs against him. Then I got to a point where [Grigorenko] hadn't played for so long, I didn't think it was fair to throw him in a tough situation. Your legs aren't going and I burned up a game really is what I did."
Ruff said he didn't want to make the same mistake today and that's why scratching Grigorenko might be a choice.
"I like where this kid is going," Ruff said. "I like where his game has been. Even his early shifts [Friday] I thought were good shifts. They had the makings of doing something good. That part and where the game plan ended up was tough on him."
"He's 18 years old and people tend to forget how young he is and every day is experience," said Ott. "Obviously the rest of it is up to management. ... You see flashes of great stuff. When I look at myself when I was young, sometimes you're going to play less minutes, sometimes you're going to play a little bit more and get thrown opportunities to succeed. Then you're going to be backed off a little more. That's part of becoming a professional hockey player. He's handling it really well for 18 years old."
Ruff pushed his team hard during Saturday's practice, screaming at one point to his forwards, "Every puck is going to go deep. No more of this pond hockey [bleep]," and later adding, "no more pond. It's real hockey now. Real hockey."
What were his beefs? Get pucks deep. Be sharper to cut down on offsides. Reduce turnovers that create quick counter opportunities for the opposition.
"More north-south. We have to get rid of the pond hockey," Stafford said. "More north-south and using the speed. ... Hitting the [blue] line with more speed, getting it in and going to get it ourselves instead trying to slow it up, make moves at the blue line that are just going to cause turnovers.
"The last two games, it hasn't been real good hockey," Ruff said, citing the 6-3 and 3-1 losses to the Hurricanes. "Let's not kid ourselves. Turnovers, and turnovers by a lot of our key personnel. The short-handed goal [Thursday] was a careless turnover. We had a 3-on-0 against us with a couple big saves. You can't play like that. You have to take care of the puck."
Ruff said Friday he didn't want to break up the Foligno-Ennis-Stafford line, which ended last season as one of the best in the NHL. But the complete lack of production — no goals for any of them — forced his hand.
"It's just tough right now," Foligno said. "Obviously we're disappointed we're not having the best start. But we believe in each other, believe we can get it done. We just have to keep working hard and the bounces will come."
"We want our players to make plays," Ruff said. "You've got space to make a play, make it. If the opposition is doing a good job, you go to Plan B — and that's put them under duress."

Coming off of two straight 22-point victories, the Stetson men's basketball team will conclude its three-game home stand on Monday night, hosting South Florida at 7:00 p.m. at the Edmunds Center. It will mark the first meeting between the Hatters (2-1) and the Bulls (3-2) since Nov. 27, 2006.
"At this point in the season, there's still so much to work on," Stetson head coach Casey Alexander said. "You're going to face something new from game to game, but our guys have done a nice job of being ready to play and playing hard."
This time around that something new will be a South Florida team that is coming off of an 82-63 win over Bradley.
"It means a lot," Alexander said of bringing the BIG EAST team to the Edmunds Center. "It's a high profile game for people who live in this area, especially with USF coming off of such a great season last year. They return a real high percentage of their production in general, so their expectations are high."
The Bulls are coming off of one of their best seasons ever in 2011-12, earning their first ever NCAA Tournament wins and advancing to the Third Round after victories over California and Temple. The team tied a school record for wins with a mark of 22-14.
With four of its five starters back, USF has got out to a bit of a slow start, falling to UCF and Western Michigan in the early part of the season. Wins over Maryland Eastern Shore, Loyola-Chicago, and Bradley highlight the early part of the Bulls season, which has taken place entirely at USF's Sun Dome.
"They will bring a lot of excitement to the Edmunds Center," Alexander continued. "I hope people in DeLand, and Hatter fans everywhere are excited for what's going to happen Monday night."
Monday night will mark the first time these two teams have met since 2006, and it will be the first time playing in DeLand since 2005. USF holds a 16-7 advantage over Stetson in the all-time series, and has won the last 10 meetings, dating back to 1989. The Hatters, however, hold a slight 5-4 advantage during games played in DeLand.
The game can be watched live and for free on HatterVision and ASun.TV with Robbie Aaron and Ryan Rouse on the call. Fans can also listen in on WSBB 1230 AM in New Smyrna, 1490 AM in DeLand, or on www.myam1230.com. Live Stats, the @StetsonMBB Twitter feed, and Hat-Alerts are also available for in-game updates.

National FFA officers announced
National FFA officers announced
2012-13 National FFA Officer team announced at conclusion of 85th National FFA Convention & Expo in Indianapolis
Six students from across the U.S. have been chosen by their peers to help lead and shape the National FFA Organization as national FFA officers in 2012-13.
Today at the conclusion of the 2012 National FFA Convention & Expo in Indianapolis, University of Florida at Gainesville student Clay Sapp was elected to serve as National FFA president.
"It will be my mission to activate change and growth in the National FFA Organization," he said. "I plan to develop strong relationships, be a champion of FFA and agricultural education and seek new ways to strengthen student experiences within FFA."
For the next year, the group will travel more than 100,000 miles across the country to engage top leaders in business, government and education. The national officers will lead personal growth and leadership training seminars for FFA members. The team will help set policies that will guide the future of FFA and promote agricultural literacy.
"It takes a highly motivated person to become a successful national FFA officer," said National FFA Organization CEO Dr. Dwight Armstrong. "It is an opportunity afforded to just a few of our members. As a national officer, the lives of these six individuals will be non-stop hard work with never-ending commitments where every moment counts."
The National FFA Organization provides leadership, personal growth and career success training through agricultural education to 557,318 student members in grades seven through 12 who belong to one of 7,498 local FFA chapters throughout the U.S., Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands.

What is "big data?" Lynn Langit and Dave Nielsen offer a few examples of big data, and how data scientists are using the Cloud to manage massive amounts of data. Using SQL Azure (which is just SQL Server hosted on the Azure infrastructure) as an example, Lynn describes why customers are using a combination of NO SQL Windows Azure tables and SQL Azure relational tables. Tune in to the end, of this short video, to receive instructions on how to access your free 30-day pass to a Windows Azure account.
What inspires someone from Fargo, North Dakota to dream of becoming a United Nations translator? Love of words, of course. A self-described language geek, Lynn is fascinated by languages and semantics. She understands that life rarely travels in a straight line, and her own career reflects this winding path. Lynn moved from a degree in linguistics to become a business executive, and then launched her own software development, training and consulting company. She's done production work with all versions of .NET, BizTalk, K2.Net, SharePoint, SQL Server, Analysis Services, InfoPath, MOM, and Active Directory, and holds an array of certifications, including MCT, MCSD, MCITP, MCSE, MCDBA and MSF. Lynn is also the author of Foundations of SQL Server 2005 Business Intelligence from Apress. She gets her biggest on-the-job buzz from developing architecture - translating business needs into technical solutions that provide real value and opportunities. In her spare time, Lynn gives back to the community by supporting children's education. Her current projects include work with the Mona Foundation (Redmond, Washington) and SmartCare (Lusaka, Zambia).

Currently SQL Azure is limited to 50GB. So much for big data... Would've loved to use it to store satellite data.

The commissioners discussed the future of the county EMS and fire services during a work session before Tuesday morning's board meeting.
County EMS Director Don Kelbley said the county EMS program is an all-volunteer advanced life support ambulance service, and the squads are struggling to recruit and keep volunteers.
Doug Nichols, Republic squad coordinator, presented commissioners with a proposal to have a partial paid system.
The proposal would add about $986,000 to the county budget and would have paid EMS workers for 12 hours and have a volunteer squad for 12 hours during the evening.
Nichols said volunteers are getting scarce, due to many people being too busy to work for the EMS program while also having a family and a job.
Commissioner Fred Zoeller said income from the EMS has been higher than expenses over the past five years.
Zoeller said he would like EMS and fire squads from around the county to work together and come up with a "scaled-down" proposal that all parties can agree on.
He said the proposal Nichols gave to commissioners Tuesday would be a "sizable budgetary item" for the county. Zoeller said the county needs to come up with a long-term solution for the problem.
"What we want is to offer a quality EMS service in Seneca County," Zoeller said. "If we can achieve those goals, then it's up for us to come up with the funds. Everyone's got to do their job, in order to make this happen."
Commissioner Jeff Wagner said he thinks commissioners would support a levy proposal.
"What direction the EMS coordinators want to go, we want to go," Wagner said.
Zoeller told the coordinators to find the most effective and least costly solution possible.
"The lower the price tag on this thing, the easier it's going to be to swallow for everybody," he said. "My last resort would be to go back to the citizens for a levy, that's my last resort. Maybe that's the only option."
The board also approved a resolution authorizing an agreement with Renz & Associates for the Tier-I assessment of former underground storage tank system on behalf of County Engineer Mark Zimmerman.
Zoeller said there was some underground storage work done that was approved 10 years ago, and now the county is being forced to re-certify the assessment after there was an error reported in the paperwork.
County Administrator Stacy Wilson said Zimmerman has volunteered to cover the cost of the assessment, so it will not be coming out of the General Fund.
"He's done us a great favor taking care of this," she said.
In other business, commissioners received one bid for a household sewage treatment system from A&D Excavating LLC.
If there is no impact from federal sequestration cuts, the county is expected to receive $56,000 in 2013 for a low-income home sewage treatment replacement program.
The $56,000 can pay for three or four septic systems.
Also during the meeting, commissioners approved a proclamation to help increase awareness on child abuse and neglect in Seneca County.
There were 390 cases of child abuse and neglect investigated in the county in 2012, according to the proclamation.
Also during the meeting, Zoeller said a job fair is to take place noon-6 p.m. May 13 at Tiffin University's Heminger Center.
The next commissioners' meeting is 7:30 p.m. March 26 in Fostoria municipal city building instead of its usual meeting time and place.
In new business, the board approved:
Bill vouchers
A fund transfer of $400,792.22 to be made to the Bond Retirement Fund.
A fund transfer of $44,000 to be made to the Note Retirement Fund.
A resolution setting 10:30 a.m. April 9 at the commissioners' office to receive sealed bids for SEN-CR 14-1.69 superstructure replacement.
A resolution authorizing the Fair Housing Program agreement with WSOS CAC Inc.
A resolution authorizing Wagner to sign the Office of Criminal Justice Services subgrant application on behalf of the county sheriff's office, retroactive to March 18, 2013.

Malaria is a potentially deadly disease caused by infection with the microscopic parasite Plasmodium. Plasmodium is transmitted to humans through bites from Anopheles mosquitoes infected with the parasite. According to the World Health Organization, malaria is present in more than 100 countries—mostly in sub-Saharan Africa and Southeast Asia. Each year there are roughly 300 million cases of malaria, and more than 1 million people die of the disease. Children and pregnant women are especially at risk of malaria. The May 23/30, 2007, issue of JAMA is a theme issue about malaria. This Patient Page is based on one previously published in the March 23/30, 2005, issue.
Graphic Jump Location
Symptoms usually appear about 9 to 14 days after being bitten by an infected mosquito.
Sudden, violent chills
Intermittent fever
Malaria is best diagnosed by using a microscope to identify the Plasmodium parasites in a blood sample.
Malaria is treated with drugs that interfere with the parasite's life cycle or metabolism.
If you think you have malaria, seek medical treatment immediately.
Prevention is based on avoiding exposure to mosquitoes and aggressively treating people who are infected. Malaria control programs in many parts of the world are underfunded and ineffective. If you are traveling to an area where malaria is common, take antimalarial drugs exactly as prescribed by your physician and prevent mosquito bites by
Closing windows at night if possible
Sleeping with a mosquito net, preferably one containing an insecticide, with the edges tucked under the mattress
Covering up your body as much as possible with clothing
Applying an insect repellent to areas of the body not covered by clothing.

History of Faith Bible Chapel
We are a family of faith with a single purpose: we want to honor God.
In the mid 1960's, several families gathered together for a Bible study under the leadership of Robert Hooley. With a strong desire to learn of God's Word and His ways, the group soon outgrew the home where they were meeting and moved to a small church building in Arvada.
Approximately two years later in 1969, the young Faith Bible Chapel family again found itself in need of larger facilities. A building was obtained at 9th and Acoma in Denver. It was here that God began to move in miraculous ways and added to the church daily.
In 1996, we lengthened our cords and enlarged the place of our habitation.
By 1977 the church had grown to approximately 800 in average attendance—with no place to expand. The church leadership prayed and found itself, once again, deciding to move. A ten-acre property was purchased in Arvada at 62nd and Ward Road. Construction started on a 66,000 square foot building consisting of a sanctuary seating approximately 1100, a small gym, and an education wing. The church moved into its new facilities in March of 1979.
God continued to move in marvelous ways during the 1980's. An additional 20 acres was purchased in 1983 to handle the projected growth. Not long after that, the second, third, fourth, and fifth phases of construction projects were needed to handle the continued growth.
Faith Christian Academy was born in 1988 as a school for kindergarten through 12th grade, and now enrolls over 1,000 students. In addition, the Sonshine Center, a daycare and pre-school, was established in 1994 as an outreach ministry. Over the years several other churches have been started in the Denver metro area, and nationally as a result of our growth and outreach.
In 1996, as Isaiah 54 says, "we lengthened our cords and enlarged the place of our habitation." By purchasing another campus and building, located approximately five miles from the existing campus and continuing with our vision to reach our community for Christ, we became one church meeting in two locations. All together FBC is currently ministering to over 5000 people locally and has a mission outreach supporting over 40 different ministries here in the United States and around the world.
In June of 2001, construction began for a new Family Worship Center to seat 2700 people. This would enable the church to grow and make a place where the five services on two campuses could come back together. It was dedicated in September of 2002.
Pastor George Morrison and his wife, Cheryl, have been blessed to be a part of this ministry since 1971, when Pastor George gave his heart to Christ. He and Cheryl met in this church and they were married in 1972. They have served in various ministries over the years including: the prison ministry; the tape ministry; the children, youth and adult ministries; and wherever else they felt God would have them serve. They were house parents for over four years to 32 young people in our youth outreach home. Pastor George served as associate pastor and then assumed the senior pastor responsibilities in 1984 after the founding pastor resigned. They count it a privilege to have experienced God's grace personally and in their family and ministry.
Our God is a great God and His love reaches out to all who are lost. May it be said of us, both individually and as a church family, what was said about King David of Israel, "He served his generation by the will of God."

A Tumbleweed in Germany
Hanspeter is currently building a Tumbleweed in Germany, a country where the tiny house movement is in its inception, but this isn't his first experience as a woodworking pioneer. In June of 2000, he traveled to Mongolia to construct the first wood frame house in Ulaanbaatar for a local family. "This," he says, "was one of the best experiences of my life."
Hanspeter began construction of his tiny home last summer, but since he is building one of the first tiny homes in Germany he has encountered a few unique challenges. "In Germany, we are not allowed to bolt the structure permanently to the trailer," Hanspeter explains, "So I invented a system to plug my tiny house into the trailer railings." In doing so, his tiny home is now categorized as a "load."
Hanspeter faced his next challenge when he weighed his half-finished tiny home and was forced to cut back on using heavy materials. Tumbleweed trailers are rated for either 10,000 or 15,000 lbs, but as Hanspeter explains: "The sturdiest trailers available in Europe that I know of are 3.5 tons (about 7,700 lbs). My trailer is a 2.7 tons trailer (about 6,000 lbs). The only solution for building tiny homes in Europe is to build lighter and smaller."
Since discovering weight might be an issue, Hanspeter has put his home on a diet, employing only light weight materials. For example, he used aluminum instead of steel roofing and styrofoam insulation instead of wood fiber. Even with taking these precautions, Hanspeter's most recent weighing neared 5,300 lbs. That leaves him only 700 lbs for the remainder of his interior build.
"I am aware that the Tiny House might still become too heavy once fully equipped. One option is to change the axles, the breaks and the towing bar." Hanspeter contemplates, "I'm also currently investigating if the trailer manufacturer is able to build a 3.5 ton trailer with the same dimensions and the same railing as my current trailer." If that option proves available, Hanspeter's Tiny House could be transposed onto the new heavy-duty trailer (as mentioned earlier, his home was engineered to be "plugged" into the trailer, rather than permanently fixed). Although costly, he believes upgrading the trailer would be the ideal solution.
2) Build with the lightest materials you can find and keep the thickness of floor, roof and walls in reasonable limits. Weight will add up fast and every pound counts in the end.
3) Try to get in touch with other builders of Tiny Houses, Circus Wagons, Vardos and Shepherds Huts. In Europe, this is the most difficult task.

*More information on Hanspeter's build can be found on his website here.
Jenna Spesard is currently building a Tumbleweed Cypress with her partner, Guillaume, who is a professional photographer and Tumbleweed Workshop Host. After the build is complete, they plan to travel around North America in their tiny house blogging and photographing their adventure. More on their tiny house and giant journey here.

The AVH-P5700DVD can be connected with an iPod via this dedicated adapter, and using the touch panel, listeners can play iPod-recorded songs, scroll through the music library on their iPod, or select from several functions like Shuffle playback.
Easy EQ for Sound Tailoring
With Easy EQ, you can actually customize the sound in your vehicle based on the material you listen to, with the range of a 3-band equalizer. Select one of six settings that suits you best: Powerful (for hard rock); Super Bass (rap and hip hop); Flat (for a balance of bass and treble); Natural (for sound that's both dynamic and crisp); Vocal (for talk); and Custom, which lets you customize the sound even further.

Are you power-hungry? The AVH-P5700DVD delivers a full 50 watts x 4 channels. And it's not just 50 watts; this is MOSFET 50. Compared to conventional power supplies, the MOSFET amplification circuit is smaller and more efficient, and it delivers power with less distortion and absolutely zero on/off switching noise. Remember: more power doesn't only mean "louder". It also means that your music will be cleaner at higher volumes because you're not pushing the limits of the amplification circuit.

At least 17 teaching jobs are on the chopping block in the Ken-Ton School District in the 2013-14 school year, with most of the anticipated cuts related to the upcoming closure of Jefferson Elementary School.
Staffing projections were presented at this week's School Board meeting by Stephen A. Bovino, assistant superintendent for human resources. Based on current enrollment and projections, among other things, the numbers are subject to change as work continues on next school year's budget.
"At the present time, we don't anticipate any change in programming," Bovino said.
The closing of Jefferson School this year will result in the loss of 23.1 full-time-equivalent positions. But some of those teachers will land at Edison, Franklin, Hoover and Lindbergh elementary schools, which are picking up Jefferson's students.
According to Bovino's projections for elementary school staff, Edison's will increase by four, Franklin's by three and Lindbergh's by one. Hoover's would drop by one. The districtwide reduction for elementary school staff stands at 14.1 positions.
Meanwhile, middle school staffing would increase by one special-education position each at Franklin and Kenmore middle schools.
At the high school level, declining enrollment at Kenmore East translates into a loss of 6.4 positions. A projected enrollment increase of five students at Kenmore West has staffing increasing by 1.2, for a net loss of 5.2 positions.
Tuesday night, the School Board was asked to reconsider its class-size guidelines, on which staffing is based.
"I worry that we are producing lab rats" who are able to follow a task but unable to think critically, said Robyn Brydalski, who teaches third grade at Jefferson Elementary. "I feel that increased class sizes will adversely affect students' ability to be successful."
Under current guidelines, elementary class sizes range from 22 to 24 for kindergarten through second grade; 24 to 26 for grades 3 and 4; and 25 to 27 for fifth grade. The range is 26 to 28 for middle school, and 27 to 29 for high school.
Peter C. Stuhlmiller, president of the Kenmore Teachers Association, voiced similar concerns. "We are hoping that the Board of Education will take a look at its current guidelines," he said – or at least at the waivers granted for exceeding the guidelines.
"We are really concerned about the high class sizes," he said after the meeting. "For the kiddos in those classes, it becomes a huge burden for instruction and assessment."
At Holmes Elementary, he said, the average class size for fourth grade is 22, but two of the classes have 27 students each.

DELAND, Fla. – Down 5-1 in the bottom of the sixth inning, the Stetson University softball team used back-to-back home runs, a single and a sac fly to score five runs and stun Buffalo, 6-5, Wednesday night at Patricia Wilson Field.
It was the second time this season the Hatters had gone back to back, as Jessica Griffin and Courtney Brandt's blasts came with one out in the sixth and put Stetson within two runs of the Bulls. Demi Meza's two RBI single and Meredith Owen's sac fly completed the improbable comeback as UB went down, 1-2-3 in the seventh.
Early on in the contest it looked as if Buffalo might come into DeLand and steal a game, after jumping out to an early 4-0 first inning lead, on five hits and an error, but the Hatters kept the Bulls in check. During the next three innings, starter Sarah Read retired nine of 11 batters, and after Buffalo tacked one more on in the top of the third, the Hatters answered back, with an RBI single by Kayla Drury to make it 5-1.
That's where the score stood when Owen entered the game in relief, her second such appearance in two days. The senior retired all nine Buffalo batters she faced, not allowing a hit, walk or any errors in the field. She struck out one, keeping the Bulls at five and allowing her teammates to stage one of the their largest comebacks in more than a year.
Both Griffin and Brandt smacked their second long balls of the season and Meza's two RBI single tied the game, giving her, 20 and 21 on the season, which put her in the team lead. Owen's sacrifice fly gave Stetson the lead and preserved her 10th win of the season.

DONNER SUMMIT, Calif. — Woodward Tahoe, a world-class action sports training center and youth camp which originally opened June 9 for its inaugural summer of youth programming, is now preparing for a slightly different kind of grand opening — beginning Friday, Woodward Tahoe will open its doors for full public access and daily drop-in sessions.
Woodward Tahoe will be open 7 days a week through winter until April 14, 2013, from 11 a.m. to 8 p.m., during the end of summer and into the fall season. Hours of operation will mirror Boreal Mountain Resort's 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. once the ski resort opens for winter business.
The 33,000 square foot indoor facility at the base of Boreal offers multi-level Olympic trampolines, a Super Tramp, a concrete skate park for skateboarding and BMX biking, a pump track and skatelite ramps to foam pits for aerial ski, snowboard, BMX and skateboard training.
In addition to opening Woodward Tahoe's indoor Bunker facility, the Eastern Front Skatepark and world-class BMX dirt park, known as "The Trenches," will also be available.
Accessing the Woodward Tahoe Bunker and outdoor campus is simple. Buy a Woodward Tahoe season pass, known as a "Bunker Pass," for the current pass rate of $279 and enjoy 8 months of access.
If buying a season pass isn't for you, another option is a CORE Membership ($49), which enables one to access all Woodward Tahoe facilities and participate in all requisite basic training sessions. These training sessions last approximately 2 hours and provide Woodward Tahoe users everything they will need to know in order to use the trampolines, foam pits and ramps in a safe and productive manner. Once a CORE Member, guests can return to Woodward Tahoe for $25 per 2-hour session.
