WASHINGTON, D.C. Americans prefer letting tax cuts expire for the countrys top earners, as President Barack Obama insists, while support has declined for cutting government services to curb budget deficits, an Associated Press-GfK poll shows. Fewer than half the Republicans polled favor continuing the Bush-era tax cuts for the wealthy.
Theres also a reluctance to trim Social Security, Medicare or defense programs, three of the biggest drivers of federal spending, the survey released Wednesday found. The results could strengthen Obamas hand in his fiscal cliff duel with Republicans, in which he wants to raise taxes on the rich and cut spending by less than the GOP wants.
As Obama and Republicans joust over ways to avoid tumbling over the cliff when the new year begins, the poll offers scant evidence that the public is willing to sacrifice much when it comes to specific cuts in the name of budget austerity.
Social Security, Medicare and defense account for just over half the $3.8 trillion the government is projected to spend this year. Voters typically voice support for deficit reduction but shy away from painful, detailed cuts to achieve it.
In the poll, 48 percent said tax cuts should expire in January on earnings over $250,000 but continue for lower incomes. An additional 32 percent said the tax cuts should continue for everybody, which has been the view of Republican lawmakers who say raising taxes on the wealthy would squelch their ability to create jobs. Thirteen percent said the tax cuts dating back to 2001 and 2003 should end for all.
If you are fortunate and have some extra, you need to help those who dont, said Robin Keck, 49, of Golden Valley, Minn., who owns a framing business and supports ending tax cuts for the rich. I believe people who have more money generally find more uses for it than putting other people to work.
A November 2010 AP-CNBC poll showed similar support for allowing the cuts to expire for people with the largest incomes. Polling earlier in that year had shown a preference for continuing the cuts for everyone, including the wealthy.
Support for renewing the tax cuts for everyone has ebbed among Republicans since 2010, dropping from a high of 74 percent just after the GOP recaptured the House in that years elections to 48 percent now. Among Democrats, support for allowing tax cuts for the wealthy to expire was a robust 61 percent, though down slightly from two years ago.
Unless the two parties strike a deal, the new year will begin with the triggering of broad spending cuts plus tax boosts on almost every taxpayer. Economists warn that the brew of sharp deficit cuts nicknamed the fiscal cliff could revive the recession.
The battle is occurring when the public trusts the two parties about equally to handle the deficits. Democrats have a slight edge on handling taxes but enjoy a much bigger preference when it comes to addressing Medicare, according to the poll.
Obama was re-elected last month insisting that taxes be raised on the rich as their contribution to deficit reduction. He has proposed continuing Bush-era tax cuts for all but the countrys top earners, letting taxes rise on income exceeding $200,000 for individuals and $250,000 for couples.
Though Republican lawmakers have long opposed raising taxes on the highest earners, GOP leaders have proposed curbing unspecified tax deductions to avert the fiscal cliff, raising revenue that House Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio, says could come from upper-income people.
The new poll found that, by 46 percent to 30 percent, more favor cutting government services to raising taxes to tackle budget deficits. That sentiment echoes the view of the GOP, which has emphasized spending cuts during four years of budget battles with Obama.
Yet support for trimming government services has dropped in AP-GfK polls. It was 56 percent last February and 62 percent in March 2011.
Still, Ray Wilkins, 58, of Belton, Mo., a warehouse worker, said, The governments gotten too big. The federal government tries to do just about everything.
Thirteen percent said budget balancing efforts should focus equally on service cuts and higher taxes, more than doubling that sentiment in previous polls.
When it comes to specifics, people are leery.
By 48 percent to 40 percent, more oppose proposals to gradually raise the eligibility age for Medicare from 65. Only 3 in 10 support slowing the growth of annual Social Security benefits. And more people oppose than favor cutting military spending.
Sentiments about culling savings from Social Security and Medicare were similar among Democrats and Republicans. The strongest opposition to raising the Medicare eligibility age came from people ages 30 to 64. People 50 to 64 were most opposed to slowing the growth of Social Security benefits.
Just over half of Democrats favor cutting defense; two-thirds of Republicans oppose it.
People were about evenly split over an idea voiced by defeated GOP presidential candidate Mitt Romney to put a dollar limit on taxpayers deductions.
Another idea ending the tax deduction for home mortgage interest in exchange for lower income tax rates was favored 42 percent to 33 percent, slightly less support than the proposal received in 2010. Homeowners were closely divided over the proposal.
Just over half the poll respondents say they doubt Obama will be able to reduce budget deficits during his remaining four years in office. In his first days in office in 2009, more people than not thought he would be able to do so.
The poll found little change in the nations partisan makeup after the contentious presidential election campaign, with 33 percent saying they consider themselves Democrats, 23 percent Republicans and 27 percent independents. Thats about the same as in AP-GfK polling over the past six months.
The Associated Press-GfK poll was conducted Nov. 29 to Dec. 3 by GfK Roper Public Affairs & Corporate Communications. It involved landline and cellphone interviews with 1,002 adults nationwide. The survey has a margin of sampling error of plus or minus 3.9 percentage points.

Please use the below dropdowns to filter results and explore our latest additions.
Meeting attendees of Sheraton Hotels and Resorts can now share their best by being mentally and physically prepared while on the road. FIT Meetings aren't about breaking a sweat but about increasing energy and performance. We'll provide access to tips, fitness tools and healthy options during the meeting – how much or little the attendees participate is up to them.
- Healthy meals and snacks
- Optional group workouts and breaks designed to recharge
- Tips to stay energized and alert
- Tools and tricks to promote sleep and recovery
FIT Meetings were created in collaboration with Core Performance based on the integrated approach to training used at their Athletes' Performance facilities, the premier and preferred place for elite athletes to train. The Core Performance methodology focuses on four main ideas– Mindset (prepare for it), Nutrition (fuel for it), Movement (train for it), and Recovery (rest for it).
FIT Meetings are available at select properties.

Start preparing for your FIT Meeting long before it starts. Business meetings can mean long days and minimal time for sleep, healthy meals and workouts. However; it's important to understand that lasting change doesn't happen over night, over a weekend or over a long business trip.
Mentally and physically planning for a trip before you get there can be a time and sanity saver once you arrive.
Before your trip begins set specific and manageable goals or even one single goal to maintain your health during your travels. For instance, instead of "I'm going to lose weight this trip," aim for something like "I'm going to squeeze in at least two fifteen-minute workouts."
Remember to pack simple items like running shoes, exercise clothes, a bathing suit, or a Frisbee to help you stay active while on the road.
When you fly, drinking a half–liter of water every hour can help reduce jetlag. Once you land, spend 15 minutes doing a light activity like going for a walk or exploring the area.
Life runs better with planning. The same goes for nutrition. And when you plan, you will make healthier choices, become less likely to skip meals, and eat more of what your body really needs.
Our guests tell us that they don't have time to eat healthy during their travels, so Sheraton has worked with Core Performance to develop great-tasting solutions to help you stay energized during your stay. During your FIT Meeting we'll provide healthy recommendations for your meals and breaks. View sample meeting menu selections >
Whether you're eating at the hotel or off property, the experts at Core Performance recommend filling up on high-fiber, high-color meals with a lean protein and healthy fat source.
No matter when you work out, its best to eat before and after to stay sharp mentally and physically. Aim for 2:1 or 3:1 ratio of carbohydrates to protein and make sure to keep your calories low. Some good snack ideas include pita and hummus; peanut butter and toast; or an English muffin and almond butter.
"Perfect" diets do not exist. Plan for 80% of your food to be good fuel for your body. The other 20% can be for the reasons we all love to eat special dinners, happy hours or small desserts. Go ahead and feel good about what you eat.
Meeting food can often be associated with decreased energy or high-calories and fat. At Sheraton, we took the time to work with experts at Core Performance to create light, healthy and tasty menu options for our meeting attendees. While each property's menu will vary, here's an example of a few of our meeting break snack options:
Mango - pomegranate chili glace, kiwi - grenadine essence
Pineapple - concord grape syrup, strawberry - chocolate sauce
Banana - strawberry or blueberry smoothie finished with choice of mint, blueberry, raspberry, vanilla or citrus essence
On corn chips, choice of lemon artichoke dipping sauce, onion mustard and low fat herb peppercorn ranch
Almonds, pecan, walnuts, peanuts, pumpkin seeds, apricots, apples, prunes, pears, cranberries
Effective movement is the key to staying alert and energized during a day of meetings. FIT Meetings provides you with tips and tools to build activity into what can often be a sedentary day.
With Fit Meetings you'll have the chance to recharge during breaks without changing clothes. Sheraton has partnered with Power Plate, the next generation in fitness technology, to provide an innovative, full-body workout for guests of all ages, lifestyles and physical abilities. Sheraton FIT Meetings Ambassadors will lead attendees through a Power Plate recharging workout.
You'll have the chance to strengthen your muscles and your team relationships by incorporating an optional group workout in to your FIT Meeting. A trainer will take attendees through an exercise routine pre-selected by your meeting planner. Each property has a different selection of workouts but a few examples include: yoga or stretching classes, runs/walks or cardio classes.
As part of our recent $6 billion revitalization, we've introduced Sheraton Fitness programmed by Core Performance which includes new fitness centers, state-of-the-art equipment, and suggested workouts to maintain your peak while you travel.
Download workouts >
Rest is often the most neglected fundamental for most travelers. Rest includes sleep patterns, rejuvenation and recovery techniques to keep the body energized throughout the FIT Meeting.
A contrast shower is perfect for a quick recharge. Start with warm water for one minute, then switch to cold water for one minute and repeat three to four times. The alternating temperatures will give you a kickstart for the rest of the day.
Sheraton will provide you with the Tennis Ball Recharge which includes a movement guidebook and tennis ball to use during your FIT Meeting or traveling home. Give yourself a nice massage by rolling the ball under your feet or on your calves and legs. Even a simple hand squeeze of the ball can increase circulation, stimulate your nervous system and release tension throughout your body.
Every Sheraton room is furnished with our signature Sweet Sleeper™ Bed and blackout curtains to ensure you sleep soundly.

Phil, I can remember several times where I had to make a late night run for Mylicon. One of the things that helped mine was to lay him on his back and pump his legs to where his knees push into his stomach. It usually helps to get things moving and relieve a little pressure. Of course you want to be gentle about it.

I'm not really sure what's in it for Gamespot, cause they must know that the GB community is small and completely insane, and it's not like it's the most highly respected site outside of that group. If GS inadvertently poisons the well, the site is as good as useless to them.

1. Prince of Persia
Even though the newest games have been appearing in better graphics, with stunning audio, and dynamic gameplay, the plot is pretty much the same with players still using the same prince that is adept in acrobatics, and having the setting still in the City of Persia. Funny is it that some of the game's locations remind people of how the old 2D game back in 1989 looked like. Those were the good old days of sheer fun.
2. Sonic the Hedgehog
Jumping over the PS3 console did not lose the one element that made Sonic the Hedgehog games one of a kind. It has speed, and it has everything in it. Whether it may have a plot on having a romance with a human princess, the main theme of the series is still completing levels at top speeds while retaining those rings at the most numbers possible, as a level is completed at the fastest time possible.
3. Ninja Gaiden Sigma
With realistic 3D environments providing a better feel of what the surroundings look like, the Ninja Gaiden Sigma has been successful for a sequel of what has ended in the Famicom series. Yes, it is still the same purple, to almost black ninja, which carries a sword and can jump high tumbling on air. Things are now a bit different as he now uses his sword more often, swinging it in more than just the same direction, and has lessened his reliance on using Jitsu ammunitions to defeat enemies.
4. Duke Nukem Forever
Who could ever imagine that something began from basic MS-DOS would end up being in the PS3 console? Have you ever imagined in your mind that over the years, Duke Nukem becomes better each time, with pixilation in the game getting smaller as the game releases go by. It still has the same elements from the oldest models. There are still beasts to beat, bosses to get by, and even some great looking ladies on the bar.
5. Castlevania: Lords of Shadow
Over the years, slinging that whip to destroy enemies has never been done away, although there have been some titles that have utilized other characters and equipped various weapons. However, as they say, "the first will always be the best," and it is true on this claim since there is no better way to whack a zombie or a great minion than using that whip, have it powered up with moves and items, where you end up having yourself a weapon that can beat any monster, even those giant ones.
6. Batman: Arkham Asylum
The dark background and the evening ambience of the game will always remind its players of how things have been like when the game was played way back in the Nintendo Entertainment System. Batman may not have looked so detailed back then, however even in the old days, he has carried so many items, which makes beating the video game easier. Now that everything is 3D, the complexity of jumping step by step in complex structures is greatly lessened.
7. Command and Conquer: Red Alert 3
Tanks, soldiers, mechanics, and even atomic bombs, and bioweapons. As the level and caliber of war is increasingly developed with the years gone by, even those basic war weapons, such as upgrades on tanks and even on fighter planes. Who could ever forget of the silly voices from actors that stress their roles, such as being a mechanic, or a medic? Even more fun, is how enemies react when being shocked by a Tesla coil for kicks. With poor acting being removed, and the surroundings are now 3D, with gameplay even more realistic than it was ever before, players on the new console will appreciate what it is like to handle your very own army, with all the bases, the facilities, and the features.
8. Final Fantasy XIII
When the 1st 3D series of the game appeared in PS One as Final Fantasy VII, players can no longer stop the thrill of being surrounded with beautiful gameplay, gaming features with items, material, weapons, and other mysteries. Now that Final Fantasy XIII has been in the scene on the PS3, some objects, scenes, and even characters on the current FF franchise may actually be a reminder of what FF VII has been in the past, and how it may look like, in case the old title may be released on the PS3
9. Mortal Kombat
Mortal Kombat has only two major elements that had been in the minds of the game enthusiasts over the years. Even during those times when the game has been released on arcade and Sega Genesis, its arcade prowess cannot be taken away, which has gathered over thousands of fans out there, because of blood and some nice graphics to top things up. Have you ever been victimized by Scorpion's "get over here" and suffer until the moment to fatality comes?
10. Street Fighter IV
Known to be as one of the games that had created an original concept for the world to watch over, Street Fighter has always been a good reminder of what old school gaming is, and how it can be improved to better support and utilize the offering of the hardware and software. The concept has never changed since then, where beating the competition with moves and combos have been the goal.

This emotional journey will revisit the stories of my Uncle Joe once again. I hope you will enjoy them, and think of your family as you read.
Joseph Henry Thompson (pictured below, left) was born in June 1925 in Birmingham, England. The eldest of 4 children, and brother of my father (dad being the youngest). I never knew him and my father hardly had the time before his tragic demise post-war at 22.
Joe 'joined up' to the RAF, along with thousands of other young men, in 1943 at the tender age of 18. He left his widowed Mother, my Nan and 3 siblings and left for training in December, to Regent's Park, London, which is where these letters begin.
Letter 7 – High jinx and punishing parades, 13th Jan 1944:
"Same. Tuesday, YMCA
Dear Mom and Kids,
I received (after much rigmarole) your very welcome parcel and letter. I would probably have got it on Friday or Saturday but as Sat and Sun are 'no mail' days it got held up. I posted that urgent appeal for 'financial help' on the Monday morning at 3am after coming off guard.
By the way is that 10/- a present from you or the last of mine? I'm very glad of those 'Genasprin' and the corn-plasters as both are very rare around here.
I had some good news this morning, that charge against me was dropped because of good conduct and a near bed space! I've still got to do those fatigues on Wed though!!
They've sent us all up the pole today, first we had drill for 2 hours then a lecture, then pay-book parade, then dinner. Straight after dinner Gas-Chamber tests at 'Lords' then a march back and then Kit inspection by the C.O. in person! Every single thing has to be folded in a special way and placed in a special position! This has to be done in 15 minutes, it sounds a long time I know, but when all shoes and boots have to be polished on the soles and the studs burnished and all webbing equipment taken to pieces and laid out properly it takes a lot of doing! Anyway we managed it, just about, but as soon as the officer had gone we were ordered to parade in full Kit in 10 mins!! I nearly had a pink fit! Nobody said anything and that takes some doing especially after what we'd just had. When eventually we got outside we were dismissed, the parade was cancelled! We've had some consolation though as we've been told that if we keep up to our present standard our flight will have been one of the best the station has had.
Some of the flights here have had 3 lots of C.B in 19 days. By the way, it's pretty well definite that we're being posted on Friday. Tell Joyce that I've been over a lot of London since I've been here, Whitehall, Westminster Abbey, Piccadilly (the Nuffield Club), the new Waterloo Bridge, Harringay Ice Rink (oh Boy!) and dozens of other places, too numerous to mention.
We're going to get a few laughs later on tonight!! One or two of us have sewn up the blankets of some of the chaps in our room and poured all their webbing and mess-tins into the bed to keep them comfortable! They might find a few springs missing out of their beds aswell!!!
Had my 'blood group' in my Pay-Book today, it's 40, most of us being the same. We've been issued with a big lecture book here for reference later on at the I.T.W. It contains such things as Hygiene, Navigation, Elementary Flying and pages on the Mark I and II 'Browning' machine guns.
Everybody in our room who knows of our gag is roaring with laughter at the thought of others when they get to bed tonight! Some will get that sinking feeling when they get in bed and most of their springs are missing!!
By the way we are allowed to send a few things to the Laundry:- 1 shirt, 2 collars, 1 vest, 1 pr socks, 3 hankies, 1 towel and 1 pr shorts (pants). You should see some of the attempts at sewing, it's just like fretwork and camouflage netting crossed with corrugated iron!
I must close now as this place is closing now and I'm stuck for words, so
With love, Joe."
As I re-read this, my overwhelming feeling is that of instinctive motherhood – 'I hope he's not in trouble playing pranks.' 'I hope he's looking after himself ok.' 'He must be exhausted, I wish I could make him a cup of tea.' How those Mothers must have suffered during this awful time, knowing what was ahead for their young boys.
Joe's full story is beautiful and tragic. He was our family hero. He IS our family hero. If I knew how to complete an effective RAF salute, I would salute you now, Joe. Long may your memory live in our family stories.
I hope to post a new letter from Joe's correspondence with his Mother here every Friday until they're done. It will be a turbulent and heart-wrenching journey. Subscribe to the Blog to make sure you don't miss any of it.

Dr. John DeGarmo will be at Kema's Nov. 3 from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. signing copies of Fostering Love: One Foster Parent's Journey, released in August.
The author is a Jasper County resident, and, in a press release about his book, DeGarmo states it chronicles his personal experience as a parent and foster parent. He said it's about the trials and tribulations, the laughs, the tests, and the daily lives that he and his wife, Kelly, along with their three biological children, incorporate with foster children, both boys and girls, from ages two days old to 17. The family has been fostering children since 2002, and DeGarmo said his biological children were ages 5, 3, and 2, when the first foster child arrived.
He has worked as an English and drama teacher in central Georgia, managed a day-care center, hosted various radio shows throughout both the U.S. and Australia, where his wife is from, and even worked in the field of professional wrestling. The author is currently serving as a media specialist at both Jasper County High and Middle School. He recently earned his doctorate and he published his doctoral dissertation on the challenges that foster children face in public schools.
DeGarmo said he hopes readers of Fostering Love "get a better understanding of the system and a desire to help those in need. There are so many children today that need extra attention and a kind word."

DAVID SIKES/CALLER-TIMES Fly fisherman Carl "Bud" Rowland caused a stir in the bay-fishing community in 2002 by catching and releasing a 37 1/4-inch trout that weighed 15.60 pounds. The catch still stands as the Texas state record specked trout caught on rod and reel.
DAVID SIKES/CALLER-TIMES Bud Rowland can still zing a fly 110 feet on a windy day. The former workaholic, who owned a carpet/furniture store and fly shop and real estate investor is now 77. You can still find him and his dog Mattie on the flats near Port Isabel.
Carl "Bud" Rowland caught the Texas state record speckled trout in 2002. It measured 37 1/4 inches and weighed 15.60 pounds.
DAVID SIKES/CALLER-TIMES Mattie sits on the forward seat until the heat forces her to seek shade beneath the casting platform.
CONTRIBUTED PHOTO There is no record of most of the big trout Bud Rowland has caught over the years. This was released but never measured or weighed.
DAVID SIKES/CALLER-TIMES For flats fishing, Bud Rowland generally uses a seven-weight or eight-weight fly rod. He used an eight-weight to catch the state record.
CONTRIBUTED PHOTO Many photos of release fish can be found in the Rowland family archives. This one came from several years ago in near Port Isabel.$RETURN$$RETURN$
DAVID SIKES/CALLER-TIMES Bud Rowland relaxes between casts near the Mansfield Pass' south jetty, where this past weekend dozens of tarpon were spotted rolling at the surface.
CONTRIBUTED PHOTO This 2002 photograph shot on a point-and-shoot camera Bud Rowland's son left on his old Dargel scooter is arguable one of the most scrutinized pictures among big trout aficionados. It's the Texas state record and the world record in the 16-pound tippet class.
DAVID SIKES/CALLER-TIMES Dozens of juvenile green sea turtles kept us entertained at the Mansfield Cut while tarpon teased us from the surface.$RETURN$$RETURN$
DAVID SIKES/CALLER-TIMES Green water reached to the beach this past weekend at the Mansfield Cut, where these anglers in Hobie kayaks with sails and outriggers were trolling.
DAVID SIKES/CALLER-TIMES Bud Rowland was fishing with his yellow lab named Honey when he caught the state record trout. Today, Mattie, is his constant fishing companion.
DAVID SIKES/CALLER-TIMES The tide was green all the way to the beach. These anglers in Hobie kayaks with pedals and sails were trolling near the Mansfield jetty while we hunted for tarpon.
DAVID SIKES/CALLER-TIMES School after school of finger mullet patrolled the Mansfield jetties during last week's tarpon chase, which produced five hookups by Perry Detore.
CONTRIBUTED PHOTO This is the green and black Numero Uno fly like the one Bud Rowland caught the state record trout with. Rowland created it himself.

Seidio 3-in-1 Retractable Charger Reality Review
We have all been there. You know, our iPhone is about to die from a drained battery and no charge cable in sight. Well, the Seidio 3-in-1 Retractable Charger [$29.99 - iMore Store link] is here to change that. The Seidio charger gives you everything you need for any portable situation. You get a USB cable that actually snaps into place (I love that. Most cables I see these days don't actually snap in place, they just fit, but not securely) and the always capable wall charger and large grip-friendly car charger.
What really sets this charger apart from the competition is the retractability of the cable. Just like with other retractable cords, you pull on both ends and it expands. Of course, it is convenient if you have your iPhone charging on your Mac or PC to just let is sit right next to your computer without any extra cable mess.
I use my cable on the time. My day starts off with getting in the car for work (yeah, don't use it at home, I have a cradle for that) and plugging it into the car adapter. I have a good 45 minute commute to work, so this buys me time to charge and listen to music, podcasts and audiobooks. Once I am work, I take the cable with me and charge at my desk as need. Yes, I am one of those people that if the iPhone 3GS tells me I have 96% battery, I must make it 100%.
As the day winds down, I repeat the morning process. Now you are probably thinking to yourself, "Why is this guy telling me how he carries his cable around all day?" Well, that is the point isn't it? The fact that the cable retracts makes it super easy to pull out of my bag and stow it away. I have a separate cable I stash in my bag too, the one that came with the iPhone. Using that cable is annoying as I have to "stuff" it in my bag, where the Seidio cable retracts beautifully with no mess. I know, it is the little things. Because of its portability, this has quickly become my main cable. On the ever-so-small downside, there is not an airplane adapter. That would make this the ultimate in charger cables, but for now, Seidio will have to do with a "fav" rating from this reviewer.
If you are looking for a functional cable such as this, you can pick it up in the TiPb store for $29.95.

A South Williamson couple is being sued by the United States of America. The lawsuit was filed this week in the United States District Court, Eastern District of Kentucky, Southern Division, Pikeville.
Betty Karnes and husband Shibby Karnes are now Defendants in a civil suit for injunctive relief against them. The United States of America is listed as Plaintiff.
The Karnes own more than one property at South Williamson, but only one is the subject of the lawsuit and the subject of controversary as to whether or not it interferes with land over which the Plaintiff owns floodwall/levee and pipeline easement rights.
The South Williamson Floodwall is located in Pike County, Kentucky, on the Tug Fork of the Big Sandy River; approximately 40 miles from its beginnings near the Virginia-West Virginia state line. The South Williamson Floodwall is situated on the Kentucky - West Virginia state line.
The Plaintiff acquired the real estate interests in the subject property and constructed the flood control project. However, according to the agreement between the U.S. Government and the local sponsor, Pike County, Ky., all project lands acquired by the U.S. Govennment for the project will be turned over to Pike County, which will assume all maintenance and operation responsibilities. As of this date, the real estate has not been turned over to Pike County.
The easement rights over the land of the Defendants were acquired as part of the comprehensive plan to provide flood control measures on the Levisa and Tug Forks of the Big Sandy River and on the Cumberland River.
The Defendants are accused of locating a structure on their land in violation of the estate language and tapping into the interceptor sewer line without authorization or permission of the Plaintiff.
The lawsuit claims the acts of the Defendants create a hazardous situation in which the lives and property of third parties are placed in jeopardy and places upon the Plaintiff the risk of damage claims by third parties for losses incurred as a result of Plaintiff's lawful use of its easement rights.
The Plaintiff is requesting the court to enjoin the Defendants to remove all structures from their land over which the Plaintiff owns floodwall/levee and pipeline easement rights and remove all other obstructions; that the court permanently enjoin the Defendants from locating structures or any other obstructions to the Plaintiff's floodwall/levee and pipeline easement rights; and, that the court award compensatory damages to the Plaintiff in an amount sufficient to repair the sewer pipeline in order to restore the pipeline to its condition prior to the Defendants' unauthorized tapping into it and any other relief the cour may deem just and proper.
Mr. Karnes declined comment, except to say he believes he and his wife will prevail at trial.

RRS Ernest Shackleton Research Ship Webcam
The webcam on RRS Ernest Shackleton is situated in the Conning Tower (see the Virtual Tour for an image of the Conning Tower). It generally looks forward, but if something of particular interest is going on, it may be moved to look aft or to either side. This is a particularly interesting webcam as (when not on long sea passages) the scenery changes regularly. During the Antarctic summer, it is possible to see stunning polar scenery, icebergs and mountains. During the Antarctic winter, the Shackleton undertakes survey work in the North Sea so you may catch a glimpse of an oil or gas platform. It updates approximately once every hour.

The Contemporary Austin was awarded a $9 million grant by the Edward and Betty Marcus Foundation to help create an unparalleled arts destination at Laguna Gloria, with the majority of the funds committed to commissioning and acquiring sculpture and permanent outdoor installations by some of today's leading artists. In honor of the foundation, this major feature at The Contemporary Austin's outdoors site is named the Betty and Edward Marcus Sculpture Park at Laguna Gloria.
Already well known for its historic significance and the Art School, Laguna Gloria will continue to grow into an exceptional art-in-nature experience with exhibitions, commissions, and vibrant community engagement through public programming and educational initiatives. The Contemporary Austin's ongoing land stewardship program, designed in collaboration with an environmental firm, will ensure that this precious reserve of natural beauty in the heart of the city will become even more resilient, diverse, and welcoming for art and nature lovers alike.

Test ID: FMDS
Myelodysplastic Syndrome (MDS), FISH
Useful For Suggests clinical disorders or settings where the test may be helpful
Detecting a neoplastic clone associated with the common chromosome anomalies seen in patients with myelodysplastic syndromes or other myeloid malignancies
Evaluating specimens in which standard cytogenetic analysis is unsuccessful
Identifying and tracking known chromosome anomalies in patients with myeloid malignancies and tracking response to therapy
Clinical Information Discusses physiology, pathophysiology, and general clinical aspects, as they relate to a laboratory test
Myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS) primarily occur in the older adult population and have a yearly incidence of 30 in 100,000 in persons greater than 70 years of age. These disorders are typically associated with a hypercellular bone marrow and low peripheral blood counts, and with significant morbidity and mortality. The eventual clinical outcome for patients with MDS relates to either bone marrow failure or transformation to acute myeloid leukemia. MDS can be either primary (de novo) or secondary (due to previous treatment with alkylating or etoposide chemotherapy, with or without radiation).
Cytogenetic studies can provide confirmatory evidence of clonality in MDS and can be used to provide clinical prognostic or diagnostic information. Clonal cytogenetic abnormalities are more frequently observed in cases of secondary MDS (80% of patients) than in primary MDS (40%-60% of patients). The common chromosomal abnormalities associated with MDS include: inv(3), -5/5q-, -7/7q-, +8, 13q-, and 20q-. These abnormalities can be observed singly or in concert. In addition, MLL rearrangements, t(1;3) and t(3;21) are more frequently associated with secondary MDS.
Conventional chromosome analysis is the gold standard for identification of the common, recurrent chromosome abnormalities in MDS. However, this analysis requires dividing cells, takes 5 to 7 days to process, and some of the subtle rearrangements can be missed (eg, MLL abnormalities). Thus, we have validated a combination of commercially available and Mayo Clinic in-house developed FISH probes to detect the common chromosome abnormalities observed in MDS patients. These probes have diagnostic and prognostic relevance.
Our panel of multiple FISH probes can be utilized to study nonproliferating (interphase) cells and can identify the common cytogenetic abnormalities associated with MDS.
Reference Values Describes reference intervals and additional information for interpretation of test results. May include intervals based on age and sex when appropriate. Intervals are Mayo-derived, unless otherwise designated. If an interpretive report is provided, the reference value field will state this.
An interpretive report will be provided.
Interpretation Provides information to assist in interpretation of the test results
A neoplastic clone is detected when the percent of cells with an abnormality exceeds the normal reference range for any given probe.
The absence of an abnormal clone does not rule-out the presence of a neoplastic disorder.
Cautions Discusses conditions that may cause diagnostic confusion, including improper specimen collection and handling, inappropriate test selection, and interfering substances
This test is not approved by the FDA and it is best used as an adjunct to existing clinical and pathologic information.
Supportive Data
Each probe was independently tested and verified on unstimulated peripheral blood and bone marrow specimens. Normal cutoff were calculated based on the results of at least 25 normal specimens. For each probe set a series of chromosomally abnormal specimens were evaluated to confirm each probe set detected the anomaly it was designed to detect.
Clinical Reference Provides recommendations for further in-depth reading of a clinical nature

Photo By Rosenberg PoliceRosenberg are asking the public to help identify a suspect who robbed a man at gunpoint Saturday, Jan. 17 at an apartment complex in Rosenberg. (Read More)The robbery occurred about 6:30 p.m. in the parking lot at the 3101 Place Apartments on Vista Drive, according to the Rosenberg Police Department. Police said the victim was taking his daughter out of their car when a man approached him, pulled out a black, long-barreled revolver and demanded money. When the victim complied, the suspect left. Judging by this mugshot, the man is a huge Los Angeles Dodgers fan who frequently has a cold face.For more of the weirdest, most unhelpful or otherwise sketchy police sketches, check out these mugshots ...

Not sure if that's a hood, or a really creepy ear-to-ear smile.
This sketch put more detail into the folds of the bandana than any of the few facial details show. Thanks, sketch - you've been very helpful.
Wonder what's worse: getting caught, or being described with "big love handles" in your police sketch.

The Lamar County Sheriff's Department says that this man –or cartoon, or Muppet, actually, we're not sure from the drawing – robbed two women at knife point earlier this month in Paris, Texas (full story here). Hopefully, police have more to go on than this, ahem, "drawing." Check out more of some of the weirdest police sketches and descriptions ever.
A man who was the subject of a police sketch that went viral almost overnight has been arrested, said Deputy Jeff Springer with the Lamar County Sheriff's Department.
Deputy Jeff Springer of the Lamar County Sheriff's Department says Glenn Edwin Rundles, 32, the subject of a police sketch that went viral almost overnight, has been arrested.
Two weeks ago, the department released a sketch of a suspect wanted for robbing two women at knife-point on Jan. 16 in Paris, Texas.
The sketch got more attention than the crime. The drawing looked a lot like a cartoon, a fact not lost on national media outlets. Some described the suspect as looking more like a Muppet than a man.
A Paris police officer, however, noticed a similarity between the man in the sketch and a known person of interest in the case, according to the eParis Extra.
Glenn Edwin Rundles, 32, was arrested Jan. 28 in connection with the Jan. 16 robbery. Rundles had been arrested and bonded out on unrelated charges on Jan. 23.
He is now being held on charges of aggravated robbery, indecent exposure, burglary of a habitation, criminal mischief and evading arrest after attempting to flee from police serving the second warrant, according to the eParis Extra. Rundles bond is set at $135,000.
Springer said the department didn't intend for the sketch to be a target of sport. Authorities just wanted the suspect found and arrested, he said.
"He started to try and hide his identity after he saw the sketch in the papers and even had the tattoo on his neck covered up with another design in an attempt to mask it," said Springer.
Springer said the sketch was drawn from the description the two victims gave officials and sketched by an artist that has worked for the department for some time.

GREENVILLE, S.C. - The Chattanooga Lady Mocs softball team opened Southern Conference play Saturday with a split to the Furman Paladins in Greenville, S.C. at Pepsi Field. The Paladins shut the Lady Mocs down 4-0 in the first game, holding UTC to six hits, while freshman Rachel Albritton (Murfreesboro, Tenn.) shined in the circle with a 6-1 victory in the second game.
Chattanooga 0 - Furman 4
The Paladins nearly struck first in the second inning on a high fly ball off the bat of second baseman Taylor Jenkins to left field. With the wind behind it, the ball was set to sail over the fence but the last-minute outstretched glove of freshman Sam Taylor (Chickamauga, Ga.) reeled in the would-be home run to end the inning.
An offensive Paladin outburst followed in the third inning on five hits and four runs. A leadoff single and stolen base from catcher Hannah Pace led off the inning and an RBI single from centerfielder Nikki Legg put Furman on the board. A two-run home run from shortstop Sieara Bishop extended the lead to 3-0 and back-to-back hits capped the third inning scoring with a fourth run scored.
The Lady Mocs collected six hits over seven innings, but weren't able to string them together. Sara Poteat (Thomaston, Ga.) doubled to lead off the game and Kasey Tydingco (Fairfield, Calif.) led off the second inning with a single. Ninjja Suetsugu (Sao Paulo, Brazil) and Taylor recorded two hits, but all four came in separate innings.
Taylor Deason (Clarksville, Tenn.) was charged with the loss, giving up 10 hits and four earned runs over six innings. The sophomore struck out three batters and walked two while Furman starter Lauren Collier fanned three without walking a batter. The win is Collier's fifth of the season while Deason falls to 10-7.
Chattanooga 6 - Furman 1
Furman was able to get on the board first in the bottom of the first inning on a sacrifice fly to left, but Chattanooga retaliated in the top of the second for three runs on two hits and two errors.
Suetsugu singled to lead off the inning and a groundout advanced the senior to second. Poteat walked on five pitches and an error charged to Bishop off the bat of Sam Taylor allowed Suetsugu to score ffrom second. In the following at-bat, Robles singled through the left side to drive in Poteat and Roberts reached on an error by second baseman Jenkins to plate Taylor.
The Lady Mocs added a fourth run in the third inning after back-to-back walks put Suetsugu and Tydingco on first and second. Junior Kaiti Dutton (Tulsa, Okla.) walked to load the bases and a fielder's choice off the bat of Alyssa Taylor (Orange, Calif.) allowed Suetsugu to score from third, pushing the Chattanooga lead to 4-1.
Poteat went on to drive in two more runs in the top of the fifth on a single to right-center. Tydingco and Suetsugu reached again, this time on a walk and hit by pitch, and a sacrifice bunt from Alyssa Taylor advanced the runners to second and third to set up Poteat's two-RBI hit.
Albritton walked away with the win, pitching seven innings and allowing just three hits to the Paladins. It's the freshman's third win of the season and her first career SoCon win.
Chattanooga and Furman meet again Sunday at 1 p.m. for the rubber match of the three-game series. Live stats are available for the game via the Lady Mocs softball schedule page and Furman Athletics.

Morristown, N.J. (September 19, 2013) – On Wednesday, September 18, 2013, the team spirit of the College and Academy of Saint Elizabeth was tangible as athletes, fans and donors alike gathered for the official dedication and blessing of the new soccer and lacrosse field located on the Morristown campus. "The new facility is made possible through generous alumnae donations and an ongoing collaborative partnership among the College of Saint Elizabeth, the Sisters of Charity and the Academy of Saint Elizabeth," said Sister Ellen Dauwer, member of the Council Leadership Team of the Sisters of Charity of Saint Elizabeth.
The field features natural grass sod, beautiful block retaining walls, aesthetically pleasing landscaping, and an underground irrigation system. It completes a shared athletic sports complex which includes a regulation softball field and six hard tennis courts.
"In the true spirit of our campus community, we were able to combine our resources and provide a long-awaited and significant space for soccer and lacrosse student athletes to practice and host home-team games," said College of Saint Elizabeth (CSE) President Dr. Helen J. Streubert. "This long-time dream of the College is now a wonderful reality, one that enhances our students' experiences as our athletic department continues to grow. We are delighted to provide yet another avenue of opportunity for our students to flourish in mind, body and spirit."
CSE staff and students view the field as a win-win for everyone. "The new field strengthens CSE's thriving intercollegiate athletics program that is geared to developing strong, dedicated athletes who are committed to fair play, skillful competition and academic success," said CSE Athletic Director Juliene Simpson, who serves as Senior Woman Administrator on the Executive Committee of the North Eastern Athletic Conference (NEAC) Board of Athletics Directors.
"The investment in our new facilities demonstrates how valuable we think these programs are on the development of CSE student athletes," added CSE Dean of Admission Donna Tatarka. "We look forward to the many games that will be played there and the spirit of competition our campus community will share as we cheer on the CSE Screaming Eagles!
Athletes are equally excited, and look forward to having a true advantage. "As a soccer and lacrosse player, I am thankful and excited to be playing on our home field, supported by friends and family at CSE," said Dana Mortensen, '15, CSE Elementary/Special Education and English major, noting that in the past, the "home field" was in Somerset and inaccessible to many fans.
As a NCAA Division III college, CSE offers eight women's varsity intercollegiate sports including: basketball, cross country, lacrosse, soccer, softball, swimming, tennis and volleyball. The College is also a member of the Eastern Collegiate Athletic Conference comprising Division I, II, and III institutions across the East Coast as well as a member of the prestigious NEAC.

Sew Eco: Sewing Sustainable and Re-Used Materials
Sustainable sewing projects don't have to be scratchy hemp skirts and brown patchwork aprons - you could be making beautiful one-off pieces for yourself and your home from unique and unusual eco-friendly recycled or vintage fabrics. A whole new generation of savvy craftsters have been dusting off old sewing machines and revving them up, but they don't want to make just any old thing. This book will guide readers through a series of 20 stylish sewing projects with a focus on sourcing and using sustainable fabrics. The projects teach different aspects of sewing, starting with making cushions from recycled shirts, old jumpers, vintage buttons and other materials, working through making simple skirts and bags, to using leather applique, working with vintage lace and peace silk, using organic fabrics for scarves and shawls and even 'upcycling' an old suede skirt or hat into something new and fabulous.

- The socio-economic importance of non-timber forest products for rural livelihoods in West African savanna ecosystems: current status and future trends (2012)
- For millennia, rural West African communities living in or adjacent of savanna ecosystems have been collecting components of local plant species (e.g. fruits, leaves, bark) in order to fulfil essential household subsistence needs (alimentation, medical care, energy demand etc.), to generate cash income and to overcome times of (financial) crisis. Thus, these non-timber forest products (NTFPs) make a considerable contribution to the well-being of local households. However, climate and land use change severely impact West African savanna ecosystems and, consequently, the safe-guarding of dependent rural livelihoods. The conversion of savanna area into cultivated land for subsistence farming owing to the ongoing population growth, as well as the progressive promotion of cash crops (e.g. cotton) is ever-increasing. As a consequence, present land-use management in West Africa has to cope with serious trade-offs. Within this decision-making NTFPs have been constantly understated due to a lack of appropriate economic figures to use within common cost-benefit analysis, and, thus, have been frequently outcompeted by seemingly more profitable land-use options. Therefore, it is crucial to provide appropriate economic data for NTFPs in order to create positive incentives for both decision-makers and NTFP beneficiaries to conserve NTFP-providing trees. The key finding of this analysis is that income from NTFPs accounts for 39 % on average of an annual total household income in Northern Benin, representing the second largest income share next to crop income and proving the respective households to be economically heavily dependent on NTFPs. Thereby, socio-economic characteristics of NTFP users tremendously shape their preferences for woody species. Particularly ethnicity has a major impact on the species used and the economic return obtained by them. Moreover, the study investigated the impacts of climate and land use change on the economic benefits derived from the three economically most important tree species in the region Vitellaria paradoxa, Parkia biglobosa and Adansonia digitata in 2050: Environmental changes will have primarily negative effects on the economic returns from all the three species. At large, the study underpins the economic relevance of NTFPs for rural communities in West African savannas and, consequently, the necessity to appropriately sustain them in order to safe-guard local livelihoods. Providing key figures on the current and future economic benefits obtained from NTFPs can augment common cost-benefit analysis, and, delivering detailed information about peoples' use preferences for local species, this study clearly contributes to improve the basis of decision-making with reference to local land-use policies.

- Floods Near The Connecto
- No Washer Included
Best Uses
This was a great idea, it is just cheaply made and doesn't function as intended. First of all, there was no washer included and in trying to install one, the soaker hose split and we had a terrible time getting it out and reinstalled. Then, when we were finally able to get everything installed, there are either too many holes near the connector or the holes are too large, so instead of a gentle flow, you get a flood and a big puddle at the beginning of the soaker hose. Also, the beginning of the soaker slants upward instead of downward as I expected it to do. I'm not sure we got directions with this, I may have accidentally tossed them, but it wouldn't have mattered. . .this thing is just not worth the money.

Best Uses
I was excited to get this product. I have been using this product line with great satisfaction for several years and the corner watering fixtures make the planters look very professional. That said, the product need some design work: they leak at the stop nuts, and the wrench required to tighten the stop nuts (which have only 0.125 inches clearance) was extremely difficult to find (it took a week); I finally ordered it (a whole set actually) for an additional $23 from a specialty house on line. Also the faucets face up (for clearance I think) but that makes the attached hose point up at a 30 degree angle; why not lengthen the pipe .5 inches and make the faucet face down?

I received my bed corners, and faucet connection in good order. At first i thought about putting them in the middle of the yard, but instead I decided to rearrange them from the basic square or rectangle, and make a raised corner bed, in front of my bee hives. I love the way the faucet is just above a sprinkler head, because I've changed the head and now have a water line available, whenever the sprinklers are going off (which I can set on their own timer.

CRESTVIEW — Close to 30 children have learned new kicking and passing skills following Crestview High School's second annual Soccer Camp for Future Bulldogs.
CrestviewHigh School boys soccer coach Scottie Milton and about 15 of his players led the four-day camp, which was scheduled earlier this year.
"The numbers are a little down this year because we pushed it a little forward a week, but I'm still pretty happy with the numbers," Milton said.
"A lot of these kids are getting better. I kind of stress having fun and selling the sport for them, meaning they can have fun playing it while developing the skills of dribbling and passing and stuff like that."
Soccer is a more technical sport — with the development of dribbling and ball-passing skills — and youth league coaches often overlook the fundamentals, Milton said.
"I hate to say this," he said, "but a lot of time you have coaches that are more interested in winning than teaching the finer points of the game..."
Bulldog senior Cameron White, a Crestview player who helped with the camp, said he enjoyed glimpsing the future of Crestview High School soccer.
"It's really fun," he said. "Seeing them play, they are a lot better than I was at that age. It's looking hopeful for soccer in Crestview.
"I was really surprised by their passing. I would think a lot of them would want to hold onto it (the ball), but they have great passing and they are not afraid to give the ball to someone else."
White's classmate, Zane Kootsouradis, said that while some younger players pass the ball well, several struggled.
"With a lot of the younger ones, it's the passing (that's difficult)," he said. "Some of them they think they can come out and score on their own, but they are learning.
"It can be a challenge sometimes. Some people pick it up really fast, but as long as you practice, it will come naturally."
Milton said one of camp's important aspects is the familiarity developed between him and potential players.
"I get to work with them a week and they get to put a name with a face that I'm at Crestview High," he said. "And I get a name to go with a face if I go and see them at middle school soccer or even see them in the area playing soccer."
