Page 10 - The BUZZ Gallup released on Tuesday recent findings in a new poll related to the government’s so-called “fiscal cliff,” reporting that 70 percent of adults surveyed believe lawmakers should compromise on the looming economic quandary. Both Democrats and Republicans were united in backing cooperation between Congress and President Obama. Meanwhile, House Speaker John Boehner sent Obama a new offer on Tuesday in an attempt to reach a deal to resolve the impasse, laying out $1.4 trillion in new revenue, officials said. The sticking point was still how much ground the Republicans would give on tax rates for the wealthy. Officials in Michigan said on Tuesday that Governor Rick Snyder had begun to lean toward signing right-to-work legislation that would prevent employees in the state from having to pay dues to a union. Conservatives in the state said the legislation would give workers more freedom and create better jobs in Michigan.

The X-37B spaceplane rode atop an Atlas V rocket and was believed to be carrying high-tech sensors used for spying. Family members who found 57 maggots crawling in the ear of a 92-year-old Alzheimer’s patient in a nursing home filed suit against the home on Tuesday, complaining of negligence and emotional distress. Paying $10,000 per month to the Lutheran Home for the Aged in Arlington Heights, Chicago, the family said Catherine Mc- Cann’s 88-year-old husband had already given the center over $270,000 to care for his wife. The U.S. Census Bureau on Monday released data from the 2010 census showing that for every 100 women who live to 100 there are only 20 men who do the same. Officials said, however, getting to the century mark is tough: only two persons out of 10,000 actually accomplish it. And at the other end of monday - tHuRsday 9-9 fRiday - satuRday 9-10 423-420- 5225 4435 Hwy 411 Beside the Big Flag Madisonville the spectrum, Kiam Moruya of Birmingham, Alabama, got set for his Wednesday (today) birthday on Tuesday, looking ahead to his 12th year at 12:12 p.m. (when he was born in 2000), on the 12th day of the 12th month of the 12th year of the decade. Even more odd: Kiam’s due date was February 1 but he was born eight weeks premature, and no, he didn’t weigh 12 pounds, silly, but only four pounds ten ounces. By the weigh, Kiam’s Japanese heritage considers the year 2000 to be the 12th year of the reign of the country’s current emperor. Want To Boost Your Business? Advertise!

Ledford cut his wrists with a concealed razor just prior to his sentencing hearing, but only scratched them slightly, failing to stop the hearing for another mental evaluation. the skin,” Monroe County EMS Director Randy White explained to Judge Amy Reedy afterward. “The lacerations to his wrist were superficial.” Public Defender Leon Shahan said his client made “a valid attempt to take his own life,” calling for a stop to the hearing and the need for a mental evaluation. But Reedy would have none of it, later calling Ledford “dishonest” and “at times, faking.” The hearing lasted the better part of two hours and Reedy heard from Probation and Parole Officer Jill Koffman, who provided a pre-sentencing report, from Sweetwater Police Detective Kevin Watson, and the mother of one of the child victims of Ledford. Koffman detailed Ledford’s past criminal history, which included theft, shoplifting, and marijuana convictions, plus two convictions in 1994 when Ledford was 28 years old – (See Ledford pg 16)
