Corporate investment in information technology software and services across the United States grew in 2012, although spending was down in the pharmaceutical sector, according to a survey by Montvale-based Data Inc.
Data Inc. found 68 percent of the 200 firms polled — which span across the technology, financial services, manufacturing, telecommunications and government industries — said they have increased their IT spending from last year. But pharmaceutical companies produced opposite results, as 66 percent of those respondents said they decreased investment in IT this year.
"The major departures of pharmaceutical companies in the last few years have definitely had an impact on the IT space," said Maxine Ballen, president and CEO of the New Jersey Technology Council. "That statistic certainly jumps out at you, and we're unfortunately getting to see more of the trend going ahead."
Ballen said based on what she's heard from her members, IT spending has been flat, contrary to the national survey.
Ballen said a bright spot in pharma downsizing is "it's freeing up skilled labor that our employers should be taking advantage of," though she noted "the disconnect between the $20 an hour people were making in pharma and the $10 an hour compensation they're offered at technology firms is holding back employment growth in our industry."
Nationally, employment in the IT sector has increased 1.1 percent from 2010, according to the Data Inc. survey.
Looking ahead, 77 percent of the firms surveyed expect investment in IT products and services to increase in 2013, though technology research firm Gartner Inc. predicts nationwide spending will tick up only 2 percent.
Still, Arun Verma, president and CEO of Data Inc., said in a statement the forecasts "show positive trends for the information technology industry."
"I'm sure many IT executives are still cautious about their spending, but a variety of issues — from new regulations to new technologies and the need for efficiencies — are driving many technology investments," Verma said in a statement.
But in New Jersey, Ballen said the outlook for growth in IT spending next year is more marginal, as the NJTC expects a slight uptick between 1 percent and 2 percent — even with the health care, security and mobile sectors continuing to serve as major growth areas for the technology industry.
"People are still not feeling confident enough in the economy to purchase new IT equipment and services. There's still too much uncertainty, so the sales cycles are delayed," Ballen said. "This is a modest projection that feels very good for me, and it's what I hope will be reality this time next year. At least it's an up arrow and not a down one."

The Sycamore boys basketball team has had an impressive season this year.
The Sycamore boys basketball team has had an impressive season this year. The pups continued to add to the win column with a big win last week over Yuba Gardens and a win at Foothill. On Tuesday, the pups traveled to McKenney and came away with another win by a score of 37-22. The boys did show some signs of the four-day weekend and not having practiced for five days. The boys got off to a very slow first half start. "We were more beatable today than we've been all season," explained coach Mike Erickson. "We had lay-up after lay-up and they wouldn't fall. Kids that can shoot from the outside couldn't buy a bucket." The boys amassed 12 points for the entire first half, leading 12-8.
In the second half, the boys finally found a scoring groove, hitting for 25 points in the final two quarters. The pups were led out of the woods by the inside scoring of Brandon Lara, the defense of Angel Gonzales, and the point guard leadership of Trever Facey, Brian Wilkerson, and Randy Miller. Lara led all scorers in the game with 11 points. The pups conclude their season with the annual Kiwanis Invitational 7th grade basketball tournament. "We're still not playing our best basketball. There's still room to improve, and we've got a long way to go to stay perfect."

Warren Buffett's New York Times Op-Ed piece, "A Minimum Tax for the Wealthy," has created quite a stir. The Omaha, Neb.-based billionaire has railed for higher taxes on what he calls "rich Americans."
Here's a snapshot of Buffett's argument:
"We need Congress, right now, to enact a minimum tax on high incomes. I would suggest 30% of taxable income between $1 million and $10 million, and 35% on amounts above that. A plain and simple rule like that will block the efforts of lobbyists, lawyers and contribution-hungry legislators to keep the ultra-rich paying rates well below those incurred by people with income just a tiny fraction of ours. Only a minimum tax on very high incomes will prevent the stated tax rate from being eviscerated by these warriors for the wealthy."
1) What's "Fair?"
Buffett is part of a misinformed constituency that believes high-income earners aren't paying enough taxes. What do the facts show?
Here's what the Heritage Foundation's data shows:
"The data show the highest-earning families and businesses already pay the lion's share of the federal income tax burden. According to the IRS, the top 1% of income earners—those earning more than $380,000 in 2008—paid more than 38% of all federal income taxes while earning 20% of all income. The top 10% ($114,000 and above) earned 45% of income and paid 70% of all taxes. At the same time, the bottom 50% of income earners—those earning less than $33,000—earned 13% of all income and paid less than 3% of federal income taxes."
Is increasing taxes on the minority of tax payers who already pay the majority of taxes really fair?
2) Tax increases aren't a panacea
What kind of impact will tax hikes have on the U.S. government's balance sheet? Will it reverse Washington's insatiable desire to spend now and ask questions later? Will it substantially reduce the nation's crippling $16.39 trillion in longer-term debt?
During the last fiscal year, the government spent 22.4% of GDP while it only took in 15.5%. Being a numbers guy, even Buffett concedes that his aggressive GDP-linked targets on taxes and spending won't stem budget deficits but in fact, continue them.
What psychological effect will more tax revenue have upon lawmakers? Is it possible higher taxes might even encourage higher government spending? Based upon the government's historical spendthrift pattern, it's a real risk.
3) Growing the wrong economy
Will higher taxes for upper income earners promote growth of the broader economy? Will it encourage capital investment and spur job growth? Actually, it's the "informal economy" (code for tax evasion) which is likely to grow the most.
The U.S. government losses approximately$500 billion annually in tax revenue and around $2 trillion of income goes unreported, according to recent estimates.* The typical tax cheat is a male under age 50 in the highest tax bracket. If tax evasion was bad before, how bad will it be in the future? Rather than increasing tax revenues, higher taxes may encourage a new era of even wider spread tax evasion.
Conclusion Perhaps, the cornerstone of Buffett's misinformed demand for higher taxes is his comparison of previous eras to ours.
He argues "From 1956 to 1969, the top marginal rate fell modestly, but was still a lofty 70% – and the tax rate on capital gains inched up to 27.5%," he says. "Under those burdensome rates, moreover, both employment and the gross domestic product increased at a rapid clip. The middle class and the rich alike gained ground."
Buffett forgot to mention that five of the worst performance records for stocks over the past 60 years were also recorded during that period. The Dow Jones Industrial Average lost 18.9% in 1966, 15.2% in 1969, 12.8% in 1957, 10.8% in 1962, and 9.3% in 1960. Was the stock market celebrating higher tax rates?
More importantly, the Great Recession is nothing like anything that any other generation of taxpayers or people has faced. Will tax hikes on upper brackets improve the situation? The answer is "yes" if you're Warren Buffett.

(part 2)
Extended Set - Also frequently called Update Set or Traded Set.
Facsimile Autograph - a simulated autograph printed on a card designed to show what the player's actual signature looks like. These are NOT the player's "real" autograph.
Factory Set - a complete set in a special box and wrapped with a protective covering produced by the manufacturer, usually with a unique seal and sold directly to dealers or card shop owners and not available through the usual retail outlets.
Grade - the physical condition assigned to a card, either by a price guide, or through the assessment made by sellers.
Graded Card - a card which has been assessed for condition by an independent source and given a ranking, with 10 being the best. The card is then placed in a hermetically-sealed plastic holder with the grade designation and player name, card company, card number, and serial number printed on the encasement.
1974 Topps DECKLE EDGEThis 72-card test issue set was released with a very limited distribution on only the East Coast around Massachusetts making them quite scarce. They were Officially simply called "Topps Baseball Photos" but their serrated or "DECKLED" edge gave them the name they go by today. The 2 7/8" x 5" inch cards were sold in either a 2 card pack with gum or a 3 card pack with no gum for 5 cents.
The cards were meant to have the look of the black and white movie star photos from the 1950's and feature a black & white photo with a blue facsimilie autograph on the front. The backs make this very scarce test issue even more interesting ! They feature handwritten script of the player's name, team, position & date and location of the photograph as well as a mock newspaper article on the player's career.
This was Topps 2nd "Deckle Edge" issue, their first being their smaller and much more common 1969 Topps Deckle Edge which were inserts in certain series of packs of 1969 Topps cards.
Variations of 1974 Topps Deckle Edge do exist, making this issue even more fun and challenging to collect. The backs can be found in either gray or a much scarcer white version. Also, a more limited proof version with non-scalloped edges exists and occasionally can be found.

1960 Nu-Card Baseball Hi-LitesThis 72-card set of oversized (3-1/4" x 5-3/8") cards Issued by Nu-Card, Inc., featured baseball highlights (hi-lites). Printed in red and black, the card fronts resemble a newspaper's front page headline story with photo. The cards showcase some of the baseball's most interesting highlights in it's first 100 years of baseball.
Card #'s 1-18 can also be found in just black printing and blank-backed.

What's not to love about a Betsey Johnson show? She may be abuela status, but the 71-year-old designer consistently teaches the fashion world a thing or two about fun.
For her latest collection, Betsey sent down funky pieces including sequin and printed minidresses and mini-skirts, knee-high socks, jumpsuits, loose knits and fuzzy coats in all kinds of animal prints (The Cruella de Vil-inspired Dalmation print was our favorite!). Mixing prints was a theme throughout and rich purples, greens, pinks and golds dominated a runway of too-cool-for-school girls sporting plump, purple lips, glitter under the eye and big, textured long hair.
Of course, it wouldn't be a Betsey show without her signature tutu (This season's enviable piece being made of black tulle) or a little theatrics. The show, themed "Betsey's Hot" opened up at Lincoln Center with a smoke-filled runway and ended with two smokeshow firemen and the designer's infamous cartwheel at the end of the runway.

LITCHFIELD � Three players scored in double figures to lift the Hillsdale Academy boys basketball team to a 55-52 victory over the Litchfield Terriers in a Southern Central Athletic Association game Friday.
Hillsdale Academy (8-6, 7-4 SCAA) jumped out to an eight-point lead by the end of the first quarter. Litchfield (3-10, 2-9 SCAA) came to life offensively in the second quarter, scoring 16 points and pulling to within 30-26 by halftime.
The Colts regained their double-digit lead in the third quarter, eventually building a 48-36 lead before holding off the Terriers in the fourth.
Liam Wolfram and Adam Krutsch both scored 12 points to lead Hillsdale Academy. Noah Kalthoff recorded a double-double with 10 points and 19 rebounds.
Devin Conley turned in another strong game for Litchfield. The junior had 15 points, 19 rebounds, four assists and four blocked shots. Kitcimakwa Williams had 10 points and six rebounds, while Colt Tefft scored 10 points. Anthony Shepherd came off the bench and blocked three shots.
The Terriers will host Reading for a non-conference game Tuesday, while Hillsdale Academy travels to Camden-Frontier that same day.
Camden-Frontier 56, Burr Oak 50
A strong game from Gary Johnson helped the Camden-Frontier High School boys basketball team pull out a road victory over the Burr Oak Bobcats in a Southern Central Athletic Association game Friday.
Camden-Frontier (7-8, 5-6 SCAA) built a five-point lead by the end of the first quarter, then extended its advantage to 26-19 by halftime.
The Redskins carried a nine-point lead into the fourth quarter before matching baskets with the Bobcats in the fourth.
Johnson finished with 16 points and seven rebounds to lead Camden-Frontier. Alec Dahlstrom scored 11 points, while Ethan Riddell added nine points, seven rebounds and nine assists. Zac Malone finished with nine points.
The Redskins host Hillsdale Academy on Tuesday.
Jackson Christian 49, North Adams-Jerome 45
Missed opportunities hurt the North Adams-Jerome High School boys basketball team in a road loss to the Jackson Christian Royals in a Southern Central Athletic Association game Friday.
North Adams (6-8, 4-6 SCAA) kept itself within striking distance all night long. Trailing 22-18 at halftime, the Rams fought back in the third quarter, pulling to within one entering the fourth.
The Rams had several chances to tie or take the lead, but missed shots proved costly.
"We couldn't make layups and missed shots at crucial points," North Adams-Jerome coach Gary Beach said. "They had height on us which changed our shots inside."
Chris Thomsen had 17 points and seven rebounds to lead North Adams. Eric McCormick added 15 points and five steals.
The Rams will travel to Bellevue on Tuesday.

Description: Mastersmith Bill Burke's chef's knives are among the highest performing cutlery found anywhere. His heat treatment technique, combined with his choice of steel, results in edge holding that is far beyond other knives. This is a knife that you won't want to put down.
This high performance chef's knife is a perfect choice as a primary knife in the kitchen. The long, deep-bellied blade is well suited for slicing vegetables and meats. The gentle arch of the cutting edge is perfect for a rocking chopping motion with plenty of finger clearance over a cutting board.
The blade was hand forged from premium 52100 carbon steel. Many knifemakers and users feel that 52100 is among the best, if not the best steel currently used for knifemaking. The blade is triple quenched and triple tempered for optimal edge holding and durability. A differential heat treatment line is clearly visible in the blade and shows the transition between the soft supportive spine and keen, hard cutting edge.
Like his hunting knives, this chef's knife was pre-tested for edge flex and cutting ability before assembly. The heat treatment followed the formulas developed in conjunction with Mastersmith Ed Fowler and creates some of the sharpest and most long lasting edges found anywhere.
The bolster is formed from 416 stainless steel and has been TIG welded to the blade for strength and durability. The handle is formed from light-toned sheep horn. It is nicely carved to swell toward the front of the handle, move into a slimmer waist and finally to swell again at the beak at the end of the handle. The knife has perfect balance and feels exceptional in the hand.

Visit our web site for more info on vintage and current
baseball, football, basketball, hockey, sports and
non-sport cards and card collecting.
Using a system of grading codes based on those established by price guides such as Beckett, Tuff Stuff, Sports Collector's Digest, collectors can determine the approximate condition of items offered by interpreting the following grades. Grading is very subjective and there can also be grades in between the levels below.
MINT (MT) - while we rarely use this grade, occasionally it can be found for items that we appraise as appearing nearly perfect to the naked eye. With respect to cards, it would be defined as one with 50/50 centering all around, razor-sharp corners, a photo that is well-registered and completely focused, and no visible imperfections on card front or back.
NEAR MINT-MINT (NRMT/MT) - is qualified by at least 60/40 centering, only the slightest hint of corner wear upon close inspection, and may have a barely visible print spot, lack of intense color, or a slight focus imperfection.
NEAR MINT (NRMT) - card displays at least 70/30 centering, may have a visible slight touch of corner wear all around, and/or a few slightly visible print spots, a lack of intense color, or a slight focus imperfection.
EXCELLENT-MINT (EX/MINT) - centering equivalent to NRMT (70/30), but 2 or 3 corners display an obvious "fuzzy" quality. Essentially, a card that would have been deemed NRMT if not for the corner wear being more apparent. May have a barely visible print spot, a lack of intense color, or a slight focus imperfection.
EXCELLENT (EX) - all four corners show visible signs of wear, but are not rounded. Centering at least 80/20. May have a visible print spot, a lack of intense color, or a slight focus imperfection.
VERY GOOD (VG) - Corners are rounded and the card may have creases or wrinkles.
FAIR TO GOOD - in this grade, card has rounded corners and other major defects such as scuffing, pinholes, loss of gloss, multiple creases. In general, a markedly worn card and often used as a "filler" until a better one comes along.
HARTLAND STATUESHartland produced it's first baseball statues back in the early 60's. Sports Collectibles Digest stated that the 1960's Mickey Mantle Hartland is the single most popular plastic sports statue ever produced ! In 1988 Hartland created their 25th Anniversary Editions which, except for some very minor details, were identical to the original.
Hartland partnered with America's leading hobby-periodical publisher, Krause Publications, to create the SCD Authentic series offering the original 18 as you've never seen them with each statue dramatically different from prior releases. They are amazingly beautiful and exquisitely detailed in their road uniforms with painted pinstripes and wood grained bats making them a unique collectible opportunity for both veteran collectors and Hartland newcomers alike.
Limited to only 2,500 pieces each, these statues are BRAND NEW, MINT and in THEIR ORIGINAL BOXES !!!

Review: Red Stag by Jim Beam
Posted by Arctic Wolf on January 23, 2011
For the past two weeks I have been reviewing some bourbon whiskey which I received in a collection of sample jars from the personal collection of J. Leslie Wheelock, (a member of the Alberta Beam Global team), which spanned an impressive range of unique whiskies from Canada, Scotland, and the USA. This week I dipped into the samples and chose Sample Jar # 14, Red Stag Black Cherry Flavoured Bourbon.
Red Stag Flavoured Bourbon is a black cherry flavoured, 4-year-old, Jim Beam Bourbon. It appears to be intended primarily for the mixing of cocktails and bar drinks although it has been suggested that it can be enjoyed as a sipper as well.
For the purposes of the review I broke the process into two parts. The first part of the review process involved five independent taste sessions (about one ounce each) consumed neat and with ice, and I drew my tasting notes from that part of the review process. I then constructed a few cocktails including two which I found on the Red Stag Website (The Brass Buck and Red Stag and Cola). I used these cocktails to round out the review with ancillary information regarding the suitability of the flavoured Whiskey for bar style cocktail drinks.
You may read the results of my research here:
Review: Red Stag Flavoured Bourbon
And please remember that the intention of my blog is to help you drink better spirits, not more spirits!

Total career points now at 1,745, looking for 1,900
St. Mary's High School senior Sean Mathiowetz has a lot to be proud of.
Not only did he pass his sister's school basketball record of career points by over 35, but he's continuing to do so.
After Monday night's 79-77 win at Lake Crystal, Mathiowetz now has 1,745 total points in his high school career. He is looking to add to that number today, when St. Mary's plays against Buffalo Lake-Hector-Stewart in the conference championship at home.
"If we go deep within the playoffs, I should be getting close to 1900, 1950," Mathiowetz said.
Molly Mathiowetz, Seans' sister, originally broke the school record in 2007, scoring a total of 1,709.
Sean said his sister didn't have too much to say about him beating her record, but she was proud of her brother nonetheless.
"She had a shirt made that she wore that said, 'Copy cat! I did it first,'" Mathiowetz said. "But I think she's pretty happy for me, she knows how hard I've worked throughout my career."
Mathiowetz also mentioned that his sister was probably happy it was her brother who passed her record rather than someone else.
In comparison, if Mathiowetz ends with a total of 1,900 career points, he would only be 557 points behind Daniel Fischer of Bagley who is 15th in career points in all of Minnesota with 2,457 points which he ended with in 1995.
Mathiowetz said he gives a lot of credit to the people around him for his success.
"I give a lot of credit to my teammates," Mathiowetz said. "If it wasn't for them, I wouldn't be able to amass the points I have."
The Knights are now 20-3 and will play either New Ulm Cathedral or Cleveland on March 4 in the Section 2A Tournament.
Mathiowetz said he has thoroughly enjoyed playing his final year on the team.
"It's pretty gratifying," he said. "It would be different if we were losing, but we're having a good year. It's a lot more rewarding when team success is coming with personal success."

When I was 'knee-high to a grasshopper', I was thinking MAN! That's one big ol' grasshopper! But at the same time I was thinking that I was 'finer that a frog's hair'.
Who comes up with that stuff? I have no doubt some of these 'wise' men and women had 'ants in his pants' or a 'bee in her bonnet'.
Frankly, I think children have a unique take on the world around them. I hope it's all kids that do or that will mean that my kids are just plain odd!
My kids' innocence has brought me many moments that put a bewildered look on my face and all I can say is "HUH?" which is followed by laughter once an interpreter translates.
Your child learning to read should be a proud moment in your life. Then there comes the monotone, steady rhythm of reading without pausing for punctuation that makes listening while fixing supper a mind-numbing task. One night, my oldest son Nate, was reading a story about something. Yes, I can admit it… I was not paying very good attention. Truth is, I was about to fall asleep. Then, it was like a record skipping and repeating the same thing over and over and over. My son was contemplating what a sentence actually meant. I welled up with pride. My son was gaining knowledge and not just reading the individual words! We were on our way…. or so I thought. The phrase was (imagine you are like me HEARING this and not reading it) "But where did it go? But where did it go? But where did it go?" Then Nate asked the question that crushed my feeling of pride in his contemplating…. "Mom! I think they made a mistake in this book. Shouldn't it be underwear? Who says butt wear?"
And if you're wondering….Yes I do many loads of "butt wear" in a week. This has become one of the many embarrassing stories that I, as a parent, is supposed to have and share as often as possible.
My kids also have an odd way of describing things. WARNING: the following content may not be appropriate for all audiences unless of course you can appreciate a child's limited capacity of comparison material AND have a sense of humor. We all suffered from the dreaded flu several winters back. My two oldest kids were at the age where they no longer wanted Mommy going into the bathroom with them. But as a Mom, I asked if they still had diarrhea. We're all human. We all know how explosive things can be. The description that follows changed my life forever. To protect the identity of the innocent I will not share which child said this, and this is the part that warrants the warning… "Well Mom, it's not water poop anymore. It's more like soft-serve ice cream." Like I said, limited comparisons available!
My niece called my material scraps under my sewing table "crumbs". We call the spatula we turn pancakes with a "flipper". And my youngest son Colt, just a few days ago classified a muddy parking lost as a "chocolate milkshake" and he said he wouldn't mind falling in it if was really chocolate.
I guess my point is that no matter how silly something may sound, it made perfect sense to the person who said it first. And just because your arsenal of references is hefty, it doesn't mean that all share the same information. It's all about appreciating another's point of view.
Until next time… find YOUR Wisdom… Accidentally.

A few years ago, Mark and Mary Murray, owners of The Image Center, decided they wanted to take more responsibility for their own physical health. And as they researched various health options, it soon became apparent to them that their personal commitment could translate into an opportunity for others as well.
Their idea became reality with B-Fit 24/7 Fitness, located at The Image Center at 1249 N. Main St., Adrian. The 2,500-square-foot facility features 40-plus pieces of cardio and strength equipment as well as showers, changing rooms and lockers, and, as its name implies, is open 24 hours a day, seven days a week, every day of the year.
Mark Murray said that as he and Mary were looking around at different fitness-center models, a process that took about a year, they realized that a 24/7 fitness facility was going to come to Adrian at some point, and they felt that people wanted a place that was locally owned and operated instead of a franchise.
At the same time, because The Image Center overall focuses on meeting people's personal-appearance needs — a tanning salon, car wash and laundromat/dry cleaner are the other businesses there — "we know how to take care of people and make a difference to them," he said.
A membership to B-Fit 24/7 Fitness is $19.99 per month with a signup fee that is currently also $19.99, which is 50 percent off the usual signup cost. The center's motto is "no contract, no commitment, no catches," Murray said, and people can drop out at any time with no financial loss for doing so.
Two full-time personal trainers, Aimee Skiba and Todd Bakewell, are available to all members at no additional cost to work with them on their fitness goals and motivate them to achieve.
"They're both wonderful and they really know their stuff and they really connect with people," Murray said of Skiba and Bakewell.
Memberships are open to men and women 18 years of age or older, with a checking or savings account or credit card required because monthly fees are generally handled by electronic funds transfer.
Members must be also willing to abide by the center's guidelines. "Our trainers' No. 1 job is to create the right culture for our facility and to keep it safe and friendly for everyone," Murray said.
The facility is not geared toward the hardcore weightlifter, who can find excellent training centers elsewhere in town. Rather, it is designed for men and women who simply want to work on their personal fitness. And, Murray added, if people are willing to come in at least three times per week for an hour at a time, "a year from today you'll love the results."
Because members can come in to work out at any time, even in the middle of the night, the center places a premium on security, Murray said. Members receive a key fob that is the only access to the always-locked facility. Additionally, the building has security cameras and a "panic button" that alerts police.
Murray said he has been pleased with the number of members who have signed up since the center opened right after Labor Day. And, he added, given that Adrian is a relatively small city, he has been amazed with the interest shown in having a place available at any hour of the day or night.
"I find a lot of people saying, 'I've been waiting for a 24/7 place,' " he said.
People interested in becoming members should visit the membership center, in the adjacent laundromat/tanning salon building, to get a mini-tour of the facility. After that, they can sign up for a free one-hour training session to see if the center is a good fit for them.

New 24/7 fitness center opens in Adrian
A few years ago, Mark and Mary Murray, owners of The Image Center, decided they wanted to take more responsibility for their own physical health. And as they researched various health options, it soon became apparent to them that their personal commitment could translate into an opportunity for others as well.

Smyrna Town Council discussed the 2013 budget Monday night at the council meeting, but made no formal vote.
The Finance Committee has yet to make a recommendation to council regarding the budget, but members wanted to get input from council before moving forward in the budget process.
Mayor Pat Stombaugh started the discussion by informing council of the number of projects included in the budget. However, the talk quickly changed to the lack of a tax increase and possible use of reserve funds…ideas some council members disagreed with.
Difference in philosophies
Stombaugh was in the middle of explaining why the Finance Committee felt it was important to balance the 2013 budget without a tax increase when Councilman Anthony DeFeo, a member of the committee, cut in with a difference of opinion. DeFeo informed council that the committee hadn't actually voted on the budget and there was some disagreement with the way the committee hoped to balance the budget.
DeFeo said if the town doesn't have a tax increase next year, the residents could be faced with one big tax increase later on: "We can't turn a blind eye on this."
But Stombaugh disagreed with gradually increasing taxes.
"If we balance the budget without a tax increase, we give the citizens a chance to plan for it," she said.
Eventually DeFeo asked Gary Stulir, the town's Manager of Finance, what the possible tax increase would be in 2014 if the town moved forward with no tax increase in 2013 and the planned projects for 2014. Stulir said a "back of the envelope answer" would be roughly a 13-cent tax increase per $100,000 of assessed value.
Stombaugh said if council were to have a tax increase next year to start preparing for future years, she wants to make sure that money is set aside for that purpose.
Using reserve funds
Council also heavily discussed the Finance Committee's suggestion to use money from a General Fund Reserve and Rainy Day Fund to balance the budget. The Finance Committee suggested taking roughly $500,000 from the two funds, but Stulir noted the amount needed to be covered by the reserves would actually be $799,000.
Councilman Jeff Flairty spoke out against use of the reserves to balance the budget.
"If we use the funds to balance the budget one year, what's going to happen the following year," Flairty said. "I'm not really comfortable with it."
Town lawyer Terry Jaywork said use of the Rainy Day Fund is only permissible for unexpected contingencies or for upfront expenses related to repairs, and the suggested uses for the reserves in the 2013 budget don't fall under the permitted uses.
What's next?
Council members will now email their suggestions for the budget to Stombaugh by the end of the week. The Finance Committee will go back to work on the budget at the Wednesday, Nov. 14 committee meeting in hopes of Town Council approving the budget at their next meeting.

Overseeding a Lawn with Overseeding Guys in Oxford, IA
Overseeding Guys in Oxford, IA explains how to prepare, in either case, you'll want to mow your lawn down to 1 1/2 inches to provide lots of sunlight for the new shoots. Completely clear your lawn of clippings and debris by raking thoroughly. Aerating the area is also crucial to provide a welcome environment for new grass. Try to do this 3 days ahead with a liquid aerator, which is far better and easier than coring. Finally, look at adding a thin layer of top soil, especially in areas where tree roots are sticking out, to give the seeds something to grow in. If you top-dress with soil, be sure to rake it in nicely and soak it with water before continuing with Overseeding lawn.
Overseeding a Lawn How To Apply and How To Maintain
With all the prep work done, be sure to buy the right grass seed for your climate. Read the package directions for Overseeding lawn, not for seeding a new one. A spreader will make this easier and give a far better distribution in Oxford, IA.
Overseeding Guys recommend you take care of your new grass seeds gently and tenderly in Oxford, IA, as with any new plant. Never let the surface completely dry out by watering frequently, but with a fine mist so you don't disturb the new seedlings. Keep traffic off your yard to let the grass have a chance to grow first. Finally, be sure to keep the soil fertilized: use a liquid feed that will soak in, rather than sit on the surface, which can cause the grass to get burned. Feed 3 times: once while seeding, then in 5 weeks, and again after another 6 weeks.
Overseeding a Lawn
With knowing why as we at Overseeding Guys explained, when, and how, you're all set to tackle Overseeding lawn, and keeping it looking lush and green. Prep your area to provide a nurturing welcome for the seeds, apply them with care, keep them watered, free of traffic and fed with a good liquid feed, and you'll have a yard to be proud of.
For more information on Overseeding lawn, call 888-259-1175.

1969 Topps StampsThis was Topps 3rd stamp issue in the last eight years and it was a good one !!! The stamps were not inserts but a totally separate issue . For a nickel you got a strip of twelve stamps plus a mini album. The 1969 Topps Stamps complete set contains 240 stamps. The 1 x 1-7/16 inch stamps were unnumbered and featured a color photo with the player's name, team and position inside a colored banner at the bottom of the stamp.

Along with the stamps, Topps also issued a set of 24 albums, one per team, to store them in. The 2 1/2" x 3 1/2" orange albums were the same size as a baseball card and held a complete 10-stamp team set.

WASHINGTON – For Sen. Michael Bennet, the second time's the charm.
In 2010, on the heels of a narrow victory in his first campaign, Bennet, D-Colo., was offered the position of Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee chairman. He said no.
But in 2012, Democratic leadership tried again. This time, Bennet said yes.
"It's harder to say no the second time people ask you," Bennet said last week during an interview in his office.
Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., asked Bennet to take the job within a week of Election Day in November, according to The Denver Post. Politico first reported Bennet's acceptance in early December.
"He has a tremendous amount of trust of his colleagues and respect of Democratic leaders across the country," said Matt Canter, a spokesman for the DSCC. "Under his leadership, we're committed to building strong campaigns."
DSCC Executive Director Guy Cecil will return for another two-year term. Cecil was Bennet's former chief of staff and campaign manager.
Bennet first came to Capitol Hill in 2009 to fill then-Sen. Ken Salazar's seat as Salazar moved into President Barack Obama's Cabinet as secretary of the Interior.
During his 2010 campaign to retain his seat, Bennet outspent and outraised his challenger by more than double to win.
And now he's looking to help his colleagues do the same.
The DSCC chairman is considered part of the Democratic leadership, and the job entails fundraising and keeping the party's majority in the Senate. A Colorado senator has not been in party leadership since the mid-1980s, according to The Denver Post, when Republican Sen. Bill Armstrong was chairman of the then-Republican Policy Committee.
Bennet is looking to bring the voices of newer senators to the leadership, as well as a Rocky Mountain West perspective, he said.
With 21 Democrats up for re-election to 14 Republicans – and several of those blue seats in states that tend to lean red – Bennet has his job cut out for him.
But the position is one of the most partisan in the Capitol, while Bennet is considered moderate and well-known for crossing the aisle.
He particularly wants to support Democrats who are inclined to work with their Republican colleagues, he said, including Colorado's other Democratic senator, Sen. Mark Udall, who is up for re-election in 2014.
Most recently, Bennet was a part of the "Gang of Eight," a bipartisan group of senators looking to reform immigration.
But when the group held a news conference last week, Bennet was unable to attend. He was in New York for the DSCC.
Bennet said his commitment to Colorado and bipartisanship will continue.
"I wanted to make sure that I'd be able to continue to work in the Senate the way I have been working over the last four years," he said. "For me, Colorado always comes first. And that will continue to be the case, and I think the proof will be in the pudding."
The National Republican Senatorial Committee could not be reached for comment.

OGT: Jan 26 Cleveland Cavaliers (12-32) vs Toronto Raptors (16-27)
After dropping three of four very winnable games, the Toronto Raptors saw their hard work pay off last time out.
Coach Dwane Casey believes his last-place team still has a chance to get back into contention with similar efforts going forward.
The Raptors look for their momentum to carry over Saturday night as they go for a seventh win in nine matchups against the visiting Cleveland Cavaliers.
Toronto (16-27) entered Thursday's game at Orlando mired in a 1-5 skid, with the last three of those losses each going to overtime. The Raptors nearly found themselves in another extra session before DeMar DeRozan made a game-winning fadeaway jumper as time expired, giving Toronto a 97-95 victory and a four-game season sweep.
"It does a lot," DeRozan, who finished with 22 points, said of the win. "Especially going back home, get ready to play Saturday. It does a lot for us. We understand we've been playing well for the last couple games, and we're just trying to get better, to get W's."
While Toronto surrendered an average of 102.6 points in winning just four of its first 23 games, it's since yielded 96.5 in going 12-8. The Raptors still have a ways to go if they hope to contend, sitting four games back of Boston for the Eastern Conference's final playoff spot, but they appear to be headed in the right direction.
"Down the stretch everybody's questioned our toughness and how tough we are," Casey said. "I've seen resolve and toughness the last couple of weeks. And for anybody who doesn't feel like we're in this to win it, they are totally wrong.
"These guys are competing their butts off, have been every game. Whether it's my fault, or whoever's fault it is, they have been competing. That's one thing you can't question."
The Raptors have more than held their own in this series of late, allowing 91.8 points per game during their 6-2 run. Jose Calderon scored a season-high 23 on 10-of-15 shooting as Toronto pulled out a 113-99 road win over Cleveland on Dec. 18.
Sitting at the bottom of the Central Division, the Cavaliers (12-32) have also picked up the pace of late. Cleveland shot a season-high 52.3 percent and erased a 20-point, third-quarter deficit in Friday's 113-108 win over Milwaukee, its third victory in four games.
Kyrie Irving, who had 40 points three nights earlier in a 95-90 win over Boston, scored 35 against the Bucks.
"He's a hell of a young player," coach Byron Scott said of Irving, the No. 1 overall pick in 2011. "When we drafted him we knew that."
Named Thursday as a reserve in next month's All-Star game, Irving is averaging 31.0 points and shooting 56.5 percent over his last four contests, a stretch during which he's made all 22 of his free-throw attempts.
"The second half (of the season) is real important for us. The wins, that's the main attitude right now, is just getting wins," said Irving, who scored 23 against the Raptors in December.
"These last couple games have been fun, and I've said it to the guys multiple times, even in practice, our whole moral, we just know when to be focused and when it's time to dial in."
Marreese Speights, acquired from Memphis in a four-player trade Tuesday, had 10 points and six rebounds in 18 minutes off the bench in his team debut.
"That's the great thing about him. ... Mo really did a heck of a job of communicating and talking tonight, and that's something I didn't know about him," Scott said.
