Michael William Joseph III pleaded guilty Thursday in federal court to charges stemming from the theft of government money through the filing of false personal income tax returns.
In 2007, Joseph was incarcerated in Aplachee Correctional Institution in Sneads where he wrote fake tax returns for the years 2006, 2007 and 2008 using other inmates' personal identification information. Joseph would file a Form 4852, a substitute for W-2 forms, with false incomes and deductions, then have the tax refunds sent to his mother's home in Tampa or deposited into an account that he controlled.
Joseph sought $179,349 in illicit refunds and the government actually paid out to him $51,298. Investigators recovered $17,553.52 from Joseph's bank account and found $11,600 buried in the backyard of his mother's ex-husband's house. The government moved to claim that money, but U.S. District Judge Richard Smoak did not immediately address the forfeiture issue.
Joseph, 53, was indicted in federal court of 46 charges, ranging from defrauding the federal government, filing false tax returns to conspiracy to commit mail fraud and theft of government money. He pleaded guilty to at least one count of every charge and 41 counts total, which included conspiracy to commit mail fraud, a felony that carries a 20-year prison term.
Smoak scheduled sentencing for 10 a.m. March 20.
State Attorney Glenn Hess originally prosecuted Joseph in state court, but the case was delayed by a ruling in Jackson County that would have suppressed many of the tax forms as evidence. The ruling was recently overturned, but Joseph had already been indicted and the state case was put on hold. Hess said Thursday that he was pleased with the federal prosecutor's handling of the case and would wait until after Joseph's sentencing before deciding whether to pursue the state charges.

In Friday's key matchup, PFW's Kevin Fishbain focuses on the Week One battle in the trenches between Nate Solder and Kamerion Wimbley.
Friday's matchup: Patriots OLT Nate Solder vs. Titans DRE Kamerion Wimbley
The biggest concern about the Patriots during the preseason was not a defense that finished 31st in the league last season, it was an offensive line that suddenly had several question marks. Pro Bowl ORG Brian Waters missed the entire preseason and continues to be a no-show, ORT Sebastian Vollmer has been battling injuries and OLT Nate Solder did not give fans much confidence after a shaky performance as the team's new blind-side tackle.
Solder takes over this season for Matt Light, who protected Tom Brady's blind side for 11 seasons, and the second-year pro will be under the microscope in Week One. Solder was a bright spot last season on the right side, playing for a banged-up Vollmer for most of the season. As a rookie, Solder allowed four sacks and had three holding penalties, according to Stats LLC. He had to begin his NFL career going up against Dolphins OLB Cameron Wake, and in 2012, he will have another stiff test to open the campaign as he assumes his new position.
The Titans signed Wimbley in the offseason, as pass-rush help was at the top of their priority list. In two seasons in Oakland, Wimbley had 16 sacks. He has missed one game in his six-year career and has 42½ career sacks. His only game against New England, though, Wimbley failed to get to Brady, recording three tackles and zero sacks in the Raiders' 31-19 loss to the Patriots last season.
Solder's best assets are his long arms and athleticism — he is a converted tight end who stands tall at 6-foot-8. He will need to strike the initial punch against the athletic Wimbley, whose goal it will be to get to Brady quickly and often with his quickness off the edge. The Eagles' and Saints' defensive lines had success against Solder in the preseason, a big reason for the doubt that has been cast, and Wimbley will look to take advantage.
The Titans have a solid secondary with CB Jason McCourty and FS Michael Griffin, and will want to make their jobs easier by allowing the front four to put pressure on Brady, which was the Giants' recipe for success in last year's Super Bowl.
Patriots TEs Rob Gronkowski and Daniel Fells could take some turns giving Solder help on the edge to keep Wimbley at bay, and a running back could stay in for chip blocks. The Patriots' staff and Brady have spoken positively about Solder during the past month amidst criticism, and the matchup against Wimbley gives Solder the opportunity to quiet the doubters. For Wimbley, it's his opportunity show the Titans they made the right investment and if he can wreak havoc, it gives Tennessee a chance at an upset.

DENVER (AP) — The Oakland Raiders scored touchdowns 8 seconds apart to kick-start a rout of the Denver Broncos that recalled so many of the lopsided scores between these former AFL teams in the 1960s.
Behind Darren McFadden's four touchdowns, the Raiders scored the most points in their 50-year history Sunday with a 59-14 thrashing of the demoralized Broncos.
The Raiders (3-4) won for the third straight time at Invesco Field, fueled by a 38-point outburst in the first 22 minutes.
The Raiders kept the Broncos (2-5) guessing until announcing shortly before kickoff that backup Jason Campbell would start at quarterback despite a sore knee in place of Bruce Gradkowski (sore shoulder).
It didn't seem to bother him one bit, and McFadden certainly showed no ill effects of a recent hamstring injury in scoring on a pair of 4-yard runs and a 19-yard reception in the first half and on a 57-yard run in the second.
Michael Bush got the handoff on a 1-yard TD run in the third quarter that made it 59-14. The only other time the Raiders ran for five touchdowns was at Indianapolis a decade ago.
The Raiders had never scored eight touchdowns before, and since the franchise's inception in 1960, they had never piled up more than 52 points.
Born that same year, the Broncos allowed this many points only one other time, in the 1963 season opener, which they lost to the Kansas City Chiefs 59-7.
It got so bad that after McFadden's 57-yard jaunt down the Broncos' sideline, the stream of fans heading to the exits became a rush, leaving the stadium with just a smattering of die-hard supporters witnessing a historic defeat.
Many of them must have been wondering, ''Can the NFL also crack down on beatdowns?''
The last two times the Broncos lost at home to Oakland by three or more touchdowns, there was a coaching change after the season. Wade Phillips left following a 48-16 whipping in 1994, and his successor, Mike Shanahan, was fired not long after a 31-10 loss to Oakland in 2008.
Shanahan was replaced by Josh McDaniels, who is 4-13 since starting his first season with six wins.
The Broncos, who have played the league's toughest schedule so far, emerged from a meat grinder of a month hopeful of turning things around with their first game against a divisional opponent from the middling AFC West, and they harped all week about a fast start being the key.
Instead, it was the Raiders who jumped out, scoring early and often.
Campbell found tight end Zach Miller uncovered for a 43-yard walk-in touchdown after linebackers Joe Mays and D.J. Williams both bit on the pump fake for a 7-0 lead less than five minutes in.
Then, cornerback Chris Johnson stepped in front of Jabar Gaffney and picked off Kyle Orton's pass on Denver's first snap, returning it for a touchdown that made it 14-0.
An inadvertent whistle was the only thing that prevented a second defensive touchdown on Denver's second snap. Wide receiver Demaryius Thomas coughed up Tim Tebow's pitch when he was stripped by safety Michael Huff, and defensive end Lamarr Houston scooped up the ball and rumbled in for the score.
The officials ruled the ball dead, but a challenge resulted in a reversal of possession. Three plays later, McFadden trotted in untouched from 4 yards out for a 21-0 lead.
McFadden finished with 165 yards on just 16 carries.
The Broncos - who were without their emotional leader, safety Brian Dawkins (knee), for the second straight week - showed little passion on their silent sideline as they were getting pummeled and the mistakes and miscues piled up.
The biggest cheer - albeit mockingly - came when Gaffney caught a 17-yard pass for a first down in the waning minutes of the second quarter.
The Broncos finally reached the end zone when Orton hit running back Knowshon Moreno from 7 yards out. Moreno skipped across the end zone, then motioned for his teammates to come celebrate with chest bumps, and rookie right tackle Zane Beadles complied.
Moreno was equally demonstrative when he scored on a 27-yard pass to open the third quarter. He lunged over the goal line as he was being tackled and then kicked around like a turtle turned upside down as Gaffney pulled him to his feet.
By the fourth quarter, the Raiders were resting their starters while the Broncos weren't - and they still couldn't chip away at the huge deficit.
Oakland receiver Louis Murphy and Broncos cornerback Perrish Cox both left the game after a collision in the third quarter. Cox had a head injury, although it didn't appear the play would draw interest from the league after its crackdown on illegal hits. Murphy walked off on his own.

A revealing drama that focuses on the 16th President's tumultuous final months in office. In a nation divided by war and the strong winds of change, Lincoln pursues a course of action designed to end the war, unite the country and abolish slavery. With the moral courage and fierce determination to succeed, his choices during this critical moment will change the fate of generations to come.

The final months of the Civil War a time when President Abraham Lincoln struggled to end slavery and bring the Confederate States of America back into the fold of the Union are among the most important moments in Unites States history. They're also the murkiest. Eleventh grade American History tried to teach us - war four scores Emancipation Proclamation the 13th Amendment and a fateful night at the theater - but with a few hundred years' worth of events to process most people leave school knowing that Lincoln made a couple of important moves that turned the world what it is today.
Thankfully we now have a film courtesy of the legendary Steven Spielberg that brings the 16th President's amazing uphill battle to cinematic life. The cold hard facts could not be more impressive.
For Lincoln an adaptation of the Doris Kearns Goodwin's biography Team of Rivals: The Political Genius of Abraham Lincoln Spielberg scales down his usual blockbuster sensibilities (last seen in 2011's World War I melodrama War Horse) to craft an intimate portrait of an iconic political figure. To pull it off writer Tony Kushner (Munich and the two-part Angels in America) constructs the film like a play relying on the soothing chameleon presence of Daniel Day-Lewis to breath life into Lincoln's poetic waxing. The president hits roadblock after roadblock on his quest to free the slaves and end the war Kushner and Spielberg weaving in handfuls of characters to pull him in various directions (and accurately represent the real life events). Each time Day-Lewis' Lincoln gracefully dances the dance solving every problem with action and words. Today Lincoln is held in high regard as an inspirational figure. Spielberg shows us why.
Lincoln isn't a full-blown birth-to-death biopic of the Great Emancipator and is all the better for it. Picking up in January of 1865 years into the Civil War Lincoln summons his Secretary of State William Seward (David Strathairn) to say enough is enough - the time is ripe for the abolishing of slavery. Against the vocal naysayers of the Union and even his personal confidants Lincoln attempts to rally the congressmen he needs to make his bill an amendment. He hires three men (John Hawkes Tim Blake Nelson and the wonderfully outrageous James Spader) to use whatever nonviolent means possible to swing the vote. All the while well-spoken adversaries (like Lee Pace's Fernando Wood) take to the House of Representatives floor to discredit Lincoln and dissuade congressmen. Keeping the progressive foot in the door is Thaddeus Stevens (Tommy Lee Jones) a foul-mouthed powerhouse who shares Lincoln's ambitious dreams of equality.
The story is simple but Kushner doesn't shy away from laying down lengthy passages of political discussion in order to show the importance of Lincoln's task. It's dense material spruced up with Kushner's ear for dialogue. But even so it occasionally meanders into Ken Burns documentary territory. Case in point: there are so many characters with beards in Lincoln Spielberg even flashes title cards underneath their opening scenes just so we're not lost. The fact-heavy approach takes getting used to but Spielberg and Kushner adeptly dig deep beyond the political gabfest to find a human side to Lincoln. He's a gentle man a warm man and a hilarious man. The duo's Honest Abe never shies away from a good story - at times he's like Grandpa from The Simpsons lost in his own anecdotes (much to the dismay of his cabinet).
Day-Lewis chews scenery as hinted at in the trailers but with absolute restraint. That makes his sudden outbursts really pop. When Lincoln becomes fed up with pussyfooting politicians like the quivering representatives played by Walton Goggins and Michael Stuhlbarg Day-Lewis cranks the high-pitched president up to 10. He never falters.
There's a great deal of humor and heart in Lincoln - partially because the circus-like antics of Washington D.C. feel all too close-to-home in this day and age - and Spielberg paces it all with expert camera work. The drama is iffier: a side story involving Lincoln's son Robert (Joseph Gordon-Levitt) teases an interesting family dynamic that is never fully explored and is clunky when dropped to the wayside in favor of larger issues. Same goes for Lincoln's wife Mary Todd (Sally Field) who continues to grieve for the couple's lost child. They are important issues but they don't quite work in the fabric of this specific narrative.
The larger world outside the offices of the White House and Congress is often forgotten too - we hear a lot of war talk without seeing a whole lot of war. Instances where Lincoln ventures out into fields of the dead have emotional impact but we feel disconnected from it. Where Spielberg really gets it right is in the chaos of the presidential occupation. There is no easy task for Lincoln. I may have been wrong about that says Abe referencing his issuing of the Emancipation Proclamation but I wanted the people to tell me if I was. Day-Lewis understands Lincoln's complex internal thought and brings it forward in each scene: humble confident deadly and compassionate.
Spielberg's technical team once again wows and echoes the lead performance. Director of Photography Janusz Kaminski's contrasting photography near chiaroscuro makes the beautiful set and production design hyper real and highlights the actors' aging faces. Composer John Williams returns once again but with a score as low-key as Day-Lewis' character - a change of pace when compared to War Horse. It's all up to par with Spielberg's past work without turning Lincoln into a flashy period drama.
Day-Lewis was the talk of the town when the first Lincoln trailers made their way on the web. Surprisingly however Lincoln wows because it's a well-balanced ensemble drama. Lee Jones delivers his best work in a decade as the grouchy idealist Spader... read the full review

This was our second transatlantic voyage and 3rd cruise of the Queen Mary 2(World Club Gold Status).
We left Brooklyn Terminal in great weather and was thrilled with going under the Verrazano-Narrows Bridges, again. Our PF suite, 10022, was perfect (381 Sq. Ft.). Last voyage in PRincess Grill made us opt for the same.
Our room stewardess, Donna, was fantastic for the entire 19-day voyage. Stanley Williams, our PG Maitre'D assigned us to a fabulous table for two at the window. This perk was requested by our travel agent through Cunard's special service desk. Andrea and John were our primary lead waiters in the PG restaurant for the different segments.
They both gave us top service along with the other PG staff. The food and presentation were excellent and has improved over the two years. St. Peter's Port, Guernsey and Bruges were superior ports to visit. Definitely, book an early Cunard 9:00 bus tour for "Bruges on your Own" as it gets you in town by 10:00 which allowed us to make the first 10:00 water canal tour. Unfortunately a light but constant drizzle started after the canal tour and chilled the day.
The secrets of sea days, especially transatlantic, are to savor the style, lectures, and elegance of the QM2. Formal evenings and ballroom dancing in the Queens Room are always wonderful.
We used White Star luggage for the first time from our home in Virginia to and from the ship.
It was well worth the money. The 50-lb. luggage arrived in our stateroom that morning. Everything is trackable online through FedEx's website. Truly, a piece of mind.
We were so impressed with this voyage that we booked another 18-day voyage in June 2014, NYC-HAM-NYC.

- Pain from tooth issue sidelines Moreland
- Ogando's save gives Texas quirky distinction
- Tough pitching road ahead for Texas
- Worth noting
MINNEAPOLIS -- Brandon Snyder was at first base on Saturday afternoon against the Twins. That's because manager Ron Washington didn't need him at shortstop.That was Snyder's original position when the Orioles made him the 13th overall pick in the 2005 Draft out of Centreville Westfield (Va.) High School. Snyder had a scholarship to play shortstop for LSU, but he decided to sign with the O's. Most teams told Snyder they were going to draft him as a third baseman. The Orioles decided they would make him a catcher. "I could catch and throw so they figured they could teach me to catch," said Snyder, who was one of the top high school offensive players from his Draft class. Snyder played two years at catcher before he injured his left shoulder. When he recovered, the O's decided they had a greater need at first base, so they switched him again. That has been his primary position, although he has played third and is currently working in the outfield with Rangers coach Gary Pettis. Snyder is also doing some catching in the bullpen in case the Rangers need an emergency third catcher. "I enjoyed catching," Snyder said. "I took a lot of pride in it. I felt I was becoming a pretty good catcher."
Pain from tooth issue sidelines Moreland
MINNEAPOLIS -- Rangers first baseman Mitch Moreland was out of the lineup on Saturday with an abscessed tooth. He may need oral surgery, but right now, the plan is to treat it with antibiotics."He didn't sleep well last night, so I had to change the lineup," said manager Ron Washington, who gave Brandon Snyder his first start at first base. Moreland was 0-for-4 on Friday night and is 1-for-11 in his last three games. Washington also started Adrian Beltre at designated hitter on Saturday, with Michael Young getting his first start at third base. Young started 40 games at third base last season after Beltre was signed as a free agent. Beltre went into Saturday's game needing one more run to give him 1,000 for his career. Washington said he could start Young at first base on Sunday if Moreland isn't ready. Washington would like to use Nelson Cruz at designated hitter on Sunday. If so, Craig Gentry could be in the lineup for the second time this season.
Ogando's save gives Texas quirky distinction
MINNEAPOLIS -- Alexi Ogando picked up his first Major League save on Friday night in the Rangers 4-1 victory over the Twins. He is the third Rangers pitcher to earn a save this month. Joe Nathan has two and Mike Adams has one.Nathan saved Tuesday's victory over the Mariners, Adams earned a save on Thursday and Ogando on Friday. The last time the Rangers had three different pitchers earn saves over three victories was in 2009, with Darren O'Day, Frank Francisco and C.J. Wilson. As of Saturday, only three other teams have as many as two pitchers with a save: Arizona, Milwaukee and Kansas City. But this is the third straight years the Rangers have had three different pitchers earn saves in April. In 2010, Neftali Feliz, Darren Oliver and Francisco all had saves. Last year it was Feliz, Oliver and Arthur Rhodes. The Rangers have never had four pitchers earn saves in the month of April. The Rangers are not expecting a fourth on Saturday. Manager Ron Washington said Nathan is back as the closer after being given two days off.
Tough pitching road ahead for Texas
MINNEAPOLIS -- The Rangers will face some pretty good pitching in the next two weeks as they go against four elite teams in the American League. They will also miss some good pitching, if current rotations aren't changed by weather or injury.The Rangers will face the Red Sox top two starters during their two-game visit to Fenway Park next week. Jon Lester is scheduled to pitch on Tuesday and Josh Beckett goes on Wednesday. The Rangers then head for Detroit and are scheduled to face reigning AL Cy Young Award winner Justin Verlander on Saturday. But they will miss Doug Fister, who is on the disabled list, and Max Scherzer, who is scheduled to pitch on Wednesday. The Tigers, as of right now, will open the series with rookie Adam Wilk on Thursday, followed by Rick Porcello on Friday and Verlander on Saturday. Left-hander Drew Smyly is scheduled for Sunday. After the Tigers, the Rangers return home for a pair of three-game series against the Yankees and the Rays. With the way the Yankees' rotation is currently set up, the Rangers will miss CC Sabathia. Instead, they are scheduled to face Hiroki Kuroda, Phil Hughes and Ivan Nova. The Rays' rotation is currently set so that James Shields, Jeff Niemann and David Price will pitch against the Rangers on the next homestand. The Rangers' rotation for the homestand right now calls for Derek Holland, Matt Harrison and Yu Darvish to pitch against the Yankees. Neftali Feliz, Colby Lewis and Holland would pitch against the Rays.
Worth noting
The Rangers have activated pitcher Yoshinori Tateyama off the disabled list and assigned him to Triple-A Round Rock. Tateyama was on the disabled list with stiffness in his lower back and pitched a scoreless inning on a medical rehabilitation assignment Friday night. Saturday's game was part of FOX's national television schedule, but was being broadcast to only 16 percent of the country. The Rangers could get a bigger audience in Japan, where the game was being broadcast by NHK. The Yankees-Angels game is going to 75 percent of the country. The Rangers hitters entered Saturday's game with 15 walks, tied for the second fewest in the American League. They had also gone 16 consecutive innings without drawing a walk.

Roma scored early in the first half, but Vincenzo Fiorillo made a series of excellent saves to keep Sampdoria from losing all hope of progressing in the Coppa Italia. But despite a last-minute attempt on goal, the visitors just didn't have it in them to even the scoreline, much less advance to face Juventus.
More from our team sites
The opening goal came from a surprising source, Vasilis Torosidis, getting his first goal of the season in a rare appearance for the giallorossi. Dodô sent in a lovely cross from the right, allowing Mattia Destro a close range shot. Fiorillo, filling in for regular keeper Da Costa, managed to deny Destro, but the ball fell to Torosidis's feet and he had no trouble converting.
After the loss to Juve and needing to face Genoa in just a few days, Rudi Garcia rested many of his starters -- but the giallorossi system remained in full flow. With the attack headed by Destro, Adem Ljajic and Alessandro Florenzi, chances came quick and often.
But Fiorillo, in his first start of the season, made a few excellent saves to keep the scoreline respectable. He rescued what surely would've been a debut goal from Radja Nainggolan, but his most impressive moment came near the end of the first half, when he made a double save to deny Florenzi at point-blank range -- keeping out the first attempt with his boot.
Siniša Mihajlović would do well to give the 23 year old a chance to replace the unwaverably average Da Costa. The last time Fiorillo got a start in Serie A was back in 2008-2009, and he rarely was given a start in Serie B with Livorno last season, but he's proved he's capable of stopping some of the best attackers in the league. Why not give him a chance?
By the second half, Roma had faded somewhat. It became clear that the front three weren't clicking, with Florenzi's passes lacking somewhat, and Ljajic trying to do too much when he had ahold of the ball. Gervinho came on to replace Florenzi, with Garcia hoping to put the game out of reach, but in the end one goal was all the hosts could put past Fiorillo.
And now it's on to Juventus. The giallorossi will try to avenge their recent 3-0 loss in the league by knocking the Old Lady out of the Coppa quarterfinals, but they'll have to put forth a better attack should they want to get past the stoic Juve defense.
AS Roma: Skorupski, Dodô (Benatia 90), Castán, Burdisso, Torosidis, De Rossi, Nainggolan (Strootman 69), Taddei, Ljajić, Florenzi (Gervinho 76), Destro
Sampdoria: Fiorillo, Salamon, Rodríguez, Fornasier, Castellini, Bjarnason (Gavazzi 90), Maresca (Gentsoglou 80), Sansone, Wszolek, Obiang, Pozzi (Petagna 60)

Rainfall index for Mumbai displayed on NCDEX Web site
Our Bureau
Mumbai , June 3
THE National Commodity & Derivatives Exchange Ltd (NCDEX) has started displaying on its Web site, from June 1, a rainfall index for Mumbai.
The index encompasses rainfall at both Colaba and Santa Cruz weather stations (Mumbai) and is structured on the basis of past rainfall data, NCDEX sources said.
A higher index would mean that, compared to the cumulative long period average rainfall up to the date of index, there has been more rainfall. A lower index would mean the converse.
To illustrate, based on historical data, the normal expected rainfall in Mumbai (average of Colaba and Santa Cruz weather stations) till June 2, is 28.6 mm but actual rainfall is 0.65 mm (average of 0.5 mm at Santa Cruz and 0.8 mm at Colaba), sources said.
The index value as on June 3is shown as 22.7, which indicates that it has rained only 2.27 per cent of what it should have normally rained by June 2.The NCDEX rainfall index, at any point of time, would tell what percentage of cumulative normal expected rainfall (till the date of the index) it has actually rained. The value is scaled by 1,000 to represent a number.
All historical and current rainfall data has been sourced from India Meteorological Department (IMD).

Historically, the Great Plains were inhabited by native peoples. The region was added to the United States by the Louisiana Purchase in 1803. Major Stephen Long explored the Platte River valley, producing a map called the Great American Desert. In 1841, westward expansion started. Ironically, that so called desert became known as America's breadbasket.
As early as the 1880s, farmers and ranchers started looking for solutions to drought cycles. Championing this movement was Charles McConaughy, a grain merchant and mayor of Holdrege. His first idea was to build diversion canals to draw water from the river.
McConaughy and Minden banker George Kingsley led a water association and went to Washington DC -- where with the help of Senator George Norris and Secretary of State William Jennings Bryan they secured funding for an irrigation study.
The first dam near Keystone was finished by the mid 1930s. As the great depression hit America and the dust bowl parched the plains, the canal idea evolved into a massive dam and reservoir plan.
The Public Works Administration, part of President Franklin Roosevelt's New Deal program, approved a $20 million loan to start construction in the spring of 1936. A temporary town called Kingsleyville was built at the dam site to house workers, even including a school for their children. There were no fatalities during the project, but there was one close call when Bob McCoy fell into and through a 600 foot long pipe. He returned to the job after two weeks in the hospital.
This large scale project took nearly five years to complete. Over 26 million cubic yards of earth had been moved for its construction. In February 1941, the lake began to fill. In July of that year, the dedication ceremony took place, with over 2000 people attending.
The two staunchest supporters of the dream never saw it fully operational. Kingsley died in 1929 and McConaughy died in April 1941, a few months before the dedication. However, the dam and lake bear their names.
This report is a much shorter version of a longer documentary that will play in the Lake McConaughy Visitors Center as part of their Water Interpretive Center hall; check that out later this summer as the lake celebrates 72 years.

What were the best iPhone apps you used in 2012? Want to see those can't-live-without-them apps get recognized for how good they are? Feel the same way about any iPhone or iPod accessories? Then let your voice be heard. About.com's 2013 Readers' Choice Awards showcases the best products, features and services in multiple categories, from technology to hobbies to parenting. And the winners are decided on by you--the readers!
You can nominate--and then vote for finalists--for products, services, and other things on dozens of participating sites from across the entire About.com network. Each site conducts its own individual awards nomination and voting process, and names its own winners.
Vote for something in the categories on at least one form (you're welcome to nominate something in every form, if you'd like) to have your favorite iPhone or iPod accessory or app counted for our 2013 Readers' Choice Awards for iPhone/iPod.
There are two rounds to the Awards. First, the nomination round determines the 4 or 5 most worthy apps or accessories in each category. Those 4 or 5 then move on to the finals, where your votes determine who takes home top prize.

4. Every user is welcome to vote for products in any or all categories once every 24 hours during the voting period.
5. Attn Developers/Companies: You may not offer anything to people in order to induce them to vote for you.

A new closure starts today on Southtown Boulevard in Owensboro.
Beginning this morning, a small section of the westbound lane will be closed.
This latest closure starts at Frederica Street and goes to the Gulf Gas Station, next to the Towne Square North Shopping Center.
Since there are several ways to get around the closure and reach Southtown, including the shopping center entrance, there will be no marked detour.
The lane closure is in place due to an excavation along the road that creates a safety issue for workers and drivers.
Eastbound traffic won't be affected.
As of right now, crews estimate that the closure will last until about April 15th, weather permitting.
The entire Southtown project should be done by October 16th, but there's a chance it could be finished by mid-summer.
We'll keep you updated.

Course Descriptions: Spring 2014 - HTY 607: Seminar in the History of U.S. Foreign Relations
Instructor: Elizabeth McKillen
Time: Thursday; 6:00 – 8:00 pm
Description: This course introduces students to methodological debates in the field of U.S. foreign relations history and guides them in conducting an original research project. Historians of U.S. foreign relations have traditionally focused their attention on diplomats, policymakers, and lobbyists, and have primarily utilized State Department and other government documents in their studies. But the parameters of the field have begun to expand to include the study of economic, cultural, and social interactions among subgroups from different nation-states. Historians of American foreign relations have also recently devoted increased attentions to class, race, and gender-based critiques of U.S. foreign policy. We will examine examples of both traditional and new approaches to select period in the history of U.S. foreign relations. Students will be allowed to choose tradition or nontraditional topics for their research projects.

Drunken thug jailed after he beats man unconscious (From The Northern Echo)
For details on how to contact our editorial and commercial departments, click here
Attacker from Middlesbrough given 20 month prison sentence
5:50pm Wednesday 12th February 2014 in News By Stuart Arnold
A THUG who beat a man unconscious after a cider-fuelled drinking session has been jailed.
John Shellard attacked the teenager at the sheltered accommodation the pair both stayed in in Park Road North, Middlesbrough.
Meanwhile, another man took a kick at the victim's head "as if taking a penalty kick", Teesside Crown Court heard.
Shellard, 31, of no fixed abode, admitted assault occasioning actual bodily harm on January 1 this year.
Prosecutor Harry Hadfield said the victim had been invited to Shellard's flat to share a drink from a three litre bottle of cider, but an argument later ensued and he punched the complainant to the floor.
The victim was then punched and kicked to the face and fell unconscious. He was left with a suspected hairline fracture to his jaw, bruising and swelling to his face and eyes, chipped teeth and a split lip.
Shellard's main issue was his alcohol misuse, said Victoria Coxon, mitigating, which he did not feel able to get a grip of.
Judge Howard Crowson told the defendant: "It is clear that you did not act alone, but you were drunk and reacted in a way you cannot explain."
The judge said Shellard's criminal record was not the worst, but his offending was persistent. He was jailed for 20 months.

Now I don't about the Site above, but I happened upon the story, of my favorite RB from last season, Jeremy Hill, being suspended indefinitely, for being arrested due to a Bar Fight.
I don't know how much things have changed since I was a young man, hitting the bar scene, but the weekend Brawl, was almost a tradition. In fact I don't ever remember being arrested for fighting. At worst we were kicked off the premises. Unless a knife, or some other weapon was pulled, it was pretty much, just a settling of differences. Usually over some girl, but never that big a deal.
Now I know things are different. Jeez, there are so many things that are illegal now, that weren't in the 70's, but do you think a young man blowing off steam, in April should be suspended, indefinitely, or for any period of time, for the upcoming season?
Also, if this happened in April, why is the arrest made now? Or is this old news someone has reposted? Was Hill drinking underage? I don't know and could almost see a game suspension for that. Anyway, wanted to share and get everyone's thoughts on this. I don't drop in during the off-season here, near enough, so maybe I'm missing something here.
Happy 4th, everyone, and especially thanks to all our service members.

Michael Hussey sums up the saying that good things come to those who wait. After a glittering First Class career, which has seen him score almost 22000 runs, Hussey finally received his first Baggy Green with the home series against the West Indies in 2005. He has not looked back since.
After a poor first Test, Hussey found life much easier, hitting back to back centuries against the Calypso kings.
His first two years of international cricket were outstanding, and earned him the nickname "Mr Cricket". He had become the fastest man to reach 1000 test runs, and had a batting average of 86.18.
His batting in ODI's was also out of this world, where it took 29 matches for his average to drop below 100.
A lean spell followed, but Mr Cricket was soon back to his versatile best, scoring a match winning 134 against Pakistan at the SCG. Batting with the tail has been no problem for Hussey, and this match highlighted his faith in players such as Peter Siddle.
The 2010/11 Ashes was a major disappointment for Australia, but not for the middle-order maestro. A career best 195 at the Gabba silenced his critics, and sparked a series to savour for Hussey. Three more half centuries in a row, and then another hundred confirmed his status as Mr Reliable.
A terrific tour of Sri Lanka saw him score two more centuries, and also chime in with the huge wicket of Kumar Sangakarra. A superb 150* against India was part of a 344 run partnership with Michael Clarke, which helped Australia to another crushing victory.
In ODI cricket, Hussey has been an anchor in the middle order. Whether he gives the innings the late flurry it needs, or he grinds out a patient 50, Hussey has gotten his side out of sticky situations time and time again.
While he has always battled to hold down a spot in the T20 side, Hussey has been a constant star for IPL franchise the Chennai Super Kings.
Despite being one of the most reliable cricketers to ever play for Australia, there is mounting pressure on the ageing Hussey to step down from the national team. Not for the first time, Hussey will be keen for his bat to do the talking against the best bowling attack in the world.

The other day I received an email entitled, "I'm Done." Those are pretty strong words for any email but this hit a personal note. It was from a Geneva resident who spent many hours of his personal time developing a solution to the massive $300+ million dollar debt the Geneva School District is carrying. Actually, the taxpayers of Geneva are carrying it. Why is he giving up? In his own words: "I know I will never be heard by this board nor can make any difference. Banging against a brick wall is old and hurts. We are likely moving back to our home state. The business signals and schools are a key part, and apathy by parents and neighbors all figure in."
This resident has been in the financial industry for more than 25 years, has taught classes on how municipal bonds work and is considered an expert on the bond market. He pleaded with the Geneva Board of Education members to sit down and listen to what he had to say. After a third public appeal, they finally met with him in groups of two. One member refused to meet. He said he was berated, ignored, lectured to and basically told that his help wasn't needed. One member said something along the lines of "you say hurtful things, please can't we play nice."
His email then mentioned that at least 16 businesses recently closed in Geneva. No doubt some of these closings were a direct result of Geneva's high property taxes. It seems that everyday another local business says; "I'm done." He closed his comments by stating that the only recent expansions have been the schools, Delnor Hospital and the county jail, which are all non-taxed entities.
Five years ago, I made a commitment to form a group whose goal was to inform local homeowners and businesses how their tax dollars are spent. That group has evolved into what is known as GenevaTaxFACTS. No matter your opinion of the group, we have achieved our goal of educating the community.
As spokesperson for GenevaTaxFACTS, I quickly realized two things: board members and employees of taxing bodies don't like to be questioned and the apathy in Geneva is appalling. Without taxpayer participation, taxing bodies and elected board members can easily begin to feel unaccountable for their actions. Residents get involved when an issue directly affects them, then immediately disappear from future meetings.
Taxing bodies are also less accountable because news reporters who know how to follow a story are almost nonexistent. With the exception of the Kane County Chronicle, they no longer have enough staff to attend and report on meetings. So the public remains even more clueless about important decisions regarding their taxes!
We must insure that taxing bodies and board members are accountable to the community and the community must be involved. I can't tell you the number of people who have attended local meetings, realized they have no voice and out of frustration have vowed never to return. This leads to the reality that taxing bodies aren't accountable and do whatever they want.
The accountability of local taxing bodies has never been worse than it is today. Listed below, on an individual basis, are issues that have recently arisen:
The City of Geneva - the city administrator refused to provide information that an alderman requested. Based on written accounts, it appears that the issue comes down to the role of aldermen vs. city staff. Do aldermen only set policy that is carried out by staff? There has been talk about an unwritten rule that aldermen should not burden staff with unnecessary requests. This is an interesting issue since aldermen are certainly accountable to residents through the election process. Who is staff accountable to? Who actually runs the city?
The Geneva Library - what a mess this has become over the last 4 months. The director resigned because he wasn't comfortable being the director but was immediately rehired as the Assistant Director. The only problem is there already is an Assistant Director in place until June. The Assistant's job description states they he/she is the acting Director in the absence of the Director. Due to the resignation, we currently don't have a Director so the person who just resigned as Director should be the acting Director. But he doesn't want to be the acting Director. Nor does the other Assistant Director. So the trustees hired an interim Director to work 15 hours per week. Do you follow this -- does it seem logical?
Some trustees want to spend up to $2 million on property for a new library. The problem is residents haven't approved the funds for a new library! The trustees are focusing on an old school owned by Kane County. The building is falling apart and needs to be torn down. So in the end, there will be a vacant lot with no funds for building. Do residents really want to incur more debt on a "library of the future" when we don't know what the future will bring?
This library board has lost its sense of purpose and needs to find it before a disaster occurs. They need to stop spending money on something the residents may not want. A public referendum should be placed on the November ballot. The issue of a new library vs. remodeling the current is a decision for the community not eight trustees.
The Park District - after attending the tax levy meeting in November, it appears this board and staff is heading in the right direction. They have a plan to update Sunset pool and are budgeting for that need now. I have to admit though, I have always wondered why we build facilities with our tax dollars and then need to join as members to use those facilities. Seems if you build something, you should be able to use it free of charge? Well, I guess I can always dream.
The Geneva School District 304 - for the last 10 years, this has been the most frustrating board to deal with. If you disagree with the school board you are immediately labeled anti-education. Since this taxing body is more than 70% of most property tax bills, it is imperative that board members and the administration are accountable to the entire community. Emotions run high when public education is discussed and opinions can vary greatly. When any board fails to listen to other opinions, doesn't answer legitimate questions and believes that unity in voting is more important than doing the right thing for taxpayers and students, you have a serious problem.
So what is my point?
Taxpayers need to get involved, attend meetings and speak out. Board members need to be accountable for their decisions and this can only be done if the community is engaged. With only a few people involved, nothing will change. Businesses are exiting this community and homeowners are trying to sell their homes. Many can't because of the high taxes.
GenevaTaxFACTS will continue to observe and be involved but a few people can't do it all. Individual community members need to make the commitment to show up at meetings and speak up when needed. They need to write or call the board members and let them know if they are or are NOT happy with the direction being taken. They need to be involved in making the right decisions for the future of a lovely small town called Geneva, IL.
Make a difference in your hometown and make an effort to be involved? Go to www.genevataxfacts.org and sign up for the e-mail list and find dates and times ofl local board meetings.
And… we're getting older, wiser, and better!
In our 5th year of growth, we are encouraging residents to attend board meetings of 5 taxing bodies.
We need the gift of your time to be effective! We need volunteers to attend one or two board meetings a year. Can you spare 3 hours a year to be involved?
If 40 people commit, no one will need to attend more than two meetings – and, you choose the board meeting/s and the dates. (A short summary of anything significant should follow as soon as possible. Most meetings rarely last beyond 90 minutes. ) Simply e-mail firstname.lastname@example.com with the meeting/s you can attend.
By the 2nd week of December, each board must vote on the tax levy for 2014—whether to increase, decrease or stay the same!
The website, www.genevataxfacts.org, NOW includes 2013 financial information for each of five taxing bodies-- a one-stop source of important taxing info!
Each taxing body meets according to the following schedule:
Geneva School District 304 – 2nd & 4th Mondays, 7 pm, Williamsburg Elementary School
Geneva Township – 3rd Thursday of month at 7 pm, Senior Center-Wheeler Park
Geneva Library – 4th Thursday of month at 7 pm at the Geneva Library
Geneva Park District - 3rd Monday of month at 7 pm at Sunset Community Center
City of Geneva – Committee-of-Whole/City Council, alternate Mondays, 7pm, City Hall
(Can also be viewed live on Comcast Channel 10 or City website)
GenevaTaxFACTS is pleased to welcome you to what we hope will become your destination site for information involving taxation in Geneva. This site is in the process of being expanded to contain factual information on all local taxing bodies excluding Kane County.
Our goal is to keep you informed on current decisions that will directly affect your property tax bill as well as provide a one stop source to ask questions, get answers, and provide your input on tax issues. You'll note after each article, there is a COMMENTS option to provide feedback or ask a question. The FORUM link is another way to provide your input..
We believe the key to taxpayer involvement is getting the FACTS in an unbiased format. Providing factual and unbiased information helps you make educated decisions about local issues and candidates who may be running for office. All elected officials, as well as administrators, are invited to sumbit information for posting. .

CATEGORIES Celebrity GossipFrom Popeater:
Taylor Lautner is making the leap from teenybopper science-fiction to full blown action star, but one person who won't be making that leap with him is his publicist, Robin Baum, of Slate PR. The 'Twilight' actor was in megastar company at the PR firm -- Slate also represents action and drama heavyweights like Johnny Depp and Daniel Craig -- before they told him to hit the road.
But according to The Hollywood Reporter, it wasn't his performance as a client that landed Lautner in the doghouse, it was his daddy. The 'Abduction' star's father, Daniel Lautner, is reportedly one difficult stage dad for whom Baum had absolutely no tolerance.
Hoping to market Lautner as more than the 19-year-old kid that he is, Slate dropped the talent after only three months serving as his agency -- Lautner's dad proved to be too involved in the young actor's career choices.
Talk about daddy issues. But Lautner's papa better watch out, from what we remember the 'Twilight' hunk turns into a hulking werewolf when he's gets more than a little peeved.

Well, the holiday season is upon us.
While the media tries to sell us the idea that this is the "most wonderful time of the year", the reality for a lot of people is that the holidays are the source of a lot of frustration, resentment, and downright depression.
For some of you, this might be your first holiday season after your divorce. Some of you might have custody arrangements that will leave you without your children for a significant portion of the holidays.
So how do we face our new reality and still manage to hold on to "peace, joy, & goodwill towards men"?
1. This is Your Time
Think back to the years of celebrating the holidays as a couple. Were there things you wanted to do but didn't because of your spouse's objections? Maybe there were things you had to do but didn't really enjoy.
Make this holiday season all about you (and your children, of course).
Did you always feel drawn to midnight mass, but never made it? Do it this year.
Did you spend hours cooking even though you hated every second because your in-laws expected it? Skip it this year. Order a holiday meal to be brought in – or even just have Chinese food – whatever you want.
2. Start New Traditions or Rekindle Old Ones
It can be hard when you have to change traditions because of the divorce.
Before my divorce, Christmas Eve was spent with his relatives with lots of food and friends. Gifts were opened starting at midnight and lasted until the wee hours.
After the divorce, I missed that. For years afterward, I would just sit around while my son was enjoying the night with his dad feeling sorry for myself.
Now, a new tradition has developed were my mom comes to visit and we spend the evening cooking for the next day. It is a lot more cheerful and fun.
Maybe you would like to include craft-making as part of your new traditions. Spend some time surfing Pinterest and get those creative juices flowing.
3. Help Others
Make helping others one of your new traditions.
Volunteer at a food pantry. Start a blanket drive. Even just cleaning out your closet and giving the items to Goodwill can have an uplifting effect on your spirits.
In addition, it gives you something to do. And you are helping others – what could be better?
4. Keep Calm, Cool, and Collected
During this time you may be having more contact with your ex. School is out, schedules need to be arranged, and presents coordinated. It is more important than ever to practice our "getting along" skills.
First, get enough rest and eat regularly. Being tired and/or hungry doesn't allow us to be at our best. And we need to bring our best to the table when interacting with our ex.
Look closely at what is under your control and let go of the rest.
Mediate, relax, practice deep breathing – whatever you have to in order to find that place inside you where the joy, peace, and goodwill are residing.
Refuse to let other's behaviors, words, or actions pull you from that place.
They have no power over you. They can't make you lose your holiday spirit – only you can.
Final Thoughts
As we wrap up another year – one that may have been extremely difficult for you , it is time to give your self the present of your future.
We may feel uncertainty, heck, even fear, but now is the time to let go of those Ghosts of Christmas Past and open our lives up to all that awaits.
