FY 2013 Budget Amendments
Tunica County went on a spending spree in 2013, financed largely by a $4 million windfall from the Federal Emergency Management Agency and a utility rebate.
The one-time money took the county's Fiscal Year 2013 budget from a total of about $48 million to over $52 million.
Tunica County unexpectedly received $3 million from FEMA last fall for expenses related to the 2011 floods. Entergy also refunded just over $1.3 million to the county due to overcharges at the Tunica RiverPark.

A striker appears to be Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger's biggest priority come the January transfer window despite captain Robin van Persie's scintillating 2011 form, which has commanded 39 goals in 43 appearances since the year began and 30 goals in the English Premier League during 2011/2012, fourth in England.
However deputy striker Marouane Chamakh has contrasted van Persie's 2011 form with a huge diminish in confidence and ability. The Moroccan, who signed as a free agent last summer, began his Arsenal career brightly, but since 2011, the 28-year-old has become a major liability, scoring just twice in the year.
There are strong calls for Chamakh's departure whilst van Persie will forever hold injury concerns due to the consistent complaints suffered in his early tenure at the Gunners.
Furthermore South Korean captain Chu Young-Park, who signed from AS Monaco this summer, is still adapting to the physicality of English football.
Wenger boasts a £50 million transfer budget at his disposal, which is enough to attract world football's best talent and that is what the Frenchman is set to achieve. With van Persie still under contract concerns for next season, many have called for big name signings to enhance the chances of the inform Dutchman extending his contract at the Emirates.
Fortunately Wenger seems to be on track with some big-name strikers linked with a move to north London.

Ardell false lashes and adhesives have been the world's leading line of faux eyelashes since soon after the company began in 1971. Founded by the husband and wife team of Arnold and Sydell Miller, they combined their first names into the name Ardell and began with Duralashes, the most natural-looking eyelashes in the line, applied in small lash clusters to create an incredibly realistic look which lasts up to six weeks at a time. This style was soon followed by Ardell eye lashes which could be applied all at once in strips, the connecting adhesive invisible under the closest scrutiny. Ardell eye lash adhesives and lashes are fully tested and safe for contact lens wearers.
American International Industries purchased Ardell in 1980 and built the product line into the world's largest selection of easy-to-use, premium faux eyelashes, all of them entirely made from natural, sterilized human hair, in addition to Ardell eyebrow powders, cosmetics and other accessories. In other words, Ardell offers everything you need to create the look of alluring eyes, including Ardell brow shaping tools as well as temporary Ardell hair color solutions like Ardell brow pencils and mascara to make sure your eyes look as dramatic or natural as you want them to be.

Court date for Britt Reid
February 1, 2008
By Mari A. Schaefer INQUIRER STAFF WRITER
Britt Reid will be in a Montgomery County courtroom today to hear if he has been accepted to a drug treatment program. The second son of Eagles coach Andy Reid, Britt Reid, 22, pleaded guilty on Jan. 18 to driving under the influence of a controlled substance last August. Sentencing was delayed when Montgomery County Court Judge Steven T. O'Neill questioned whether Reid was sincere about his interest in the county's drug treatment court. Yesterday, Senior Deputy Attorney General E. Marc Costanzo said he received an order for a sentencing and parole/drug court hearing set for 1:30 p.m. today.
Britt Reid completes drug program

By Mari A. Schaefer, Inquirer Staff Writer
Britt Reid graduated last night. Eagles coach Andy Reid's 24-year-old son, who made headlines for his drug addiction and run-ins with the law, completed a 15-month treatment program at the Montgomery County Drug Court. "You are moving on clean and sober," Judge Steven T. O'Neill told a smiling and relaxed Britt Reid during a ceremony at the Norristown courthouse for nine drug court graduates. Andy Reid called the graduation a "big step" for his son. "I am proud of Britt," he said.
Britt Reid fails to reach plea deal
December 12, 2007
By Mari A. Schaefer, Inquirer Staff Writer
Britt Reid, the son of Eagles coach Andy Reid, failed to reach a plea agreement yesterday on charges of driving under the influence and drug and traffic offenses. It means Britt Reid will likely go to trial on the charges next month, which stem from an incident in August. He is already in jail on charges stemming from a road-rage incident in January. "I highly doubt we can come to any resolution," Senior Deputy Attorney General E. Marc Costanzo said after conferring with Reid's lawyers for the better part of five hours yesterday in a Norristown courtroom.
Britt Reid: Early-parole try a sham?
January 18, 2008
By WENDY RUDERMAN, email@example.com 215-854-2860
Like a vexed parent, Montgomery County Common Pleas Judge Steven T. O'Neill said he didn't know quite what to do with Britt Reid. The 22-year-old son of Eagles Coach Andy Reid was back in front of O'Neill yesterday to answer for a doped-up shopping trip to Dick's Sporting Goods, in Plymouth Meeting, last August. In that incident, Britt Reid stumbled around the store and then rammed his truck into a shopping cart. Police uncovered more than 230 pills, including Valium, in his truck.
Britt Reid pleads guilty in DUI case
January 18, 2008
By Mari A. Schaefer INQUIRER STAFF WRITER
Britt Reid, son of Eagles coach Andy Reid, pleaded guilty yesterday to driving under the influence of a controlled substance, but the judge indicated Reid would not be given extra time behind bars. Reid already is in Montgomery County Jail for a road-rage incident a year ago, when he pulled a gun on another motorist. Yesterday's case stemmed from an incident in a Plymouth Township parking lot last summer, when Reid drove his vehicle into a shopping cart. Montgomery County Judge Steven T. O'Neill also questioned Reid's sincerity about wanting to be admitted into the county's drug-treatment program after a prosecutor said the prosecution had evidence to the contrary.
Britt Reid faces gun, drug charges Britt Reid is arraigned in Montco
February 7, 2007
By Mari A. Schaefer and Tom Infield INQUIRER STAFF WRITERS
Britt Reid was standing at the scene of his brother Garrett's traffic accident in Plymouth Township last week and told police he had waved a silver flashlight at a motorist he had argued with earlier, authorities said yesterday. Police investigating the road-rage incident involving Britt Reid said that was among several times he changed his answer when asked that day whether he instead waved a brushed stainless-steel handgun at the other motorist. Yesterday, the Montgomery County District Attorney's Office filed a litany of gun and drug charges against the 21-year-old son of Philadelphia Eagles head coach Andy Reid stemming from the incident in West Conshohocken on Jan. 30. Hours later, Britt Reid arrived in a police car at a King of Prussia court building to face arraignment.
The Family Business Britt Reid learned football from his dad, Andy
August 29, 2002
By Shannon Ryan INQUIRER STAFF WRITER
Like tinkering under the hood of a an old car or baiting a fish hook, football is one of life's threads that bind fathers and sons. The tradition renews itself at this time every year. Older men connect with their offspring against a backdrop of colorful autumn leaves. Or on a makeshift gridiron in the backyard. Or squeezed together in stadium bleachers. Or even in the den, in front of a television set on Sunday afternoons. For Eagles coach Andy Reid and his son Britt, a senior at Harriton High in Bryn Mawr, Montgomery County, the experience has not been much different.
Britt Reid faces new charges He was arraigned on drug and driving counts. He will plead later.
August 30, 2007
By Mari A. Schaefer INQUIRER STAFF WRITER
A very businesslike Britt Reid arrived in court from jail yesterday to face both new criminal charges and a gauntlet of news-media types. Reid was charged with misdemeanor counts of driving under the influence, possession of a controlled substance, and possession of drug paraphernalia. Despite his no-nonsense attitude inside the courtroom, he turned more glib outside. When asked by reporters as he left the building if he had any comment, he responded with a half-smile: "Hi Mom and Dad. " His courtroom behavior also was a stark contrast to the young man described by witnesses during an incident last week outside a sporting goods store in Plymouth Township.
Report links Reid son to guns A TV station said a gun was found in Britt Reid's car, and another in a search of the Reid home Tuesday night.
February 1, 2007
By Mari A. Schaefer INQUIRER STAFF WRITER
Police in two suburban municipalities and the Montgomery County District Attorney's Office are continuing investigations into separate traffic incidents involving two of Eagles coach Andy Reid's sons. The first incident, on Tuesday morning, involved Britt Reid, a second man, and a gun. Law enforcement officials would not say who possessed the weapon. NBC10, quoting a law enforcement source, reported last night that investigators found a gun in Britt Reid's car, and a platinum handgun during a search of the Reid home Tuesday night in Villanova.
Britt Reid paroled into treatment program The son of the Eagles coach was serving time for brandishing a gun in January of last year.
February 2, 2008
By Mari A. Schaefer INQUIRER STAFF WRITER
Britt Reid is getting out of jail, but he is headed to Montgomery County's drug treatment court. The 22-year-old son of Eagles coach Andy Reid has been serving an eight- to 23-month jail sentence resulting from a January 2007 road-rage confrontation in which he brandished a gun at another motorist. Yesterday, he was paroled directly into the treatment court to finish his sentence. Reid will be released from the Montgomery County prison Monday to start the 15-month program.

Reid Is Bringing Staff Along To Kc
January 13, 2013
From Eagletarian.com, the Daily News' Eagles blog: It figured Andy Reid would take some of his assistants with him to Kansas City - it was no shock when Eagles quarterbacks coach Doug Pederson became the Chiefs' offensive coordinator Friday - but the staff list released by the Chiefs did contain some surprises. Reid's son Britt, a graduate assistant at Temple, is going to the Chiefs as a quality control coach. Britt is most known by Eagles fans for being arrested, the same day in 2007 as his older brother Garrett, after separate traffic incidents that involved drug charges.
Dan Gross: Tom Knox plans to run for guv - but he's not announcing it yet
October 9, 2012
By Dan Gross
BUSINESSMAN Tom Knox , who placed second in the 2007 mayoral race, has been telling friends he intends to run for governor in 2014. On Friday night, Knox was spotted dining with Mayor Nutter and Police Commissioner Charles Ramsey at the Union League. We asked Knox about the nature of their conversation. "When running for political office, it's always good to build constituencies," he wrote by email. OK, so does that mean you're running for governor, we asked. "It is currently my intention to run, but I am not announcing at this time," Knox said.

Timeline of news events related to Garrett Reid's struggles with drugs and legal difficulties: Jan. 30, 2007 Garrett Reid speeds through a red light and crashes into another car in Plymouth Township, Montgomery County. The other driver is seriously injured and has to be flown from the scene. Reid admits to police that he used heroin that day, and police find drugs and paraphernalia, including syringes and a scale, in his Jeep. On the same day, Reid's younger brother, Britt, gets into a road-rage argument and points a handgun at a driver in West Conshohocken.
Inside the Eagles: For Reid, the travails of being a father
August 6, 2012
By Jeff McLane
BETHLEHEM, Pa. - It was a father-to-father conversation and not a coach-to-reporter one. The public Andy Reid is much different from the private one, and when you cover the Eagles for a living you occasionally get a glimpse of the coach off the field. In March, the NFL owners meetings were held in West Palm Beach, Fla., and I attended the three-day event on assignment. On the second day, the league hosts an off-the-record party that coaches, front-office personnel, and reporters alike are invited to attend.
Andy Reid's son, Britt, stopped for traffic violations
July 6, 2011
Eagles head coach Andy Reid's son Britt was pulled over for several traffic violations Thursday, after years without a run-in with the law. State Police said that Reid, 26, was given traffic citations for speeding, careless driving and tire-equipment violations while driving on a state roadway in Lower Merion Township. A State Police spokeswoman did not know the exact location or time of Reid's traffic stop. Reid can either deal with the citations by paying the appropriate fines or by taking them before a magisterial district judge, the spokeswoman said.
Seth Rogen plays his typical loser - as a superhero - in 'The Green Hornet'
January 14, 2011
By GARY THOMPSON, email@example.com 215-854-5992
IF YOU FIND the idea of Seth Rogen as a crime-fighting superhero to be ridiculous, you have company - so does "Green Hornet" director Michel Gondry. Gondry's completely facetious action romp trades in Rogen's comic persona of sloth, arrested development and underachievement - Rogen's been an incompetent stockroom worker ("40-Year-Old Virgin"), web designer ("Knocked Up"), pornographer ("Zack and Miri Make a Porno"), police officer ("Superbad") and security officer ("Observe and Report")
'Hornet' isn't worth swarming around
January 14, 2011
By Carrie Rickey, Inquirer Movie Critic
Michel Gondry, the imaginative maker of Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind , The Science of Sleep , and Be Kind Rewind , makes whimsical, rueful movies about losers who find themselves in their fantasies. Hiring this sensitive fantasist to make the superhero saga The Green Hornet is like hiring satirist John Waters to make Rambo . Hard to think of a more mystifying mismatch of filmmaker and material. Seth Rogen cowrote and costars in the movie that aims for irreverence and settles for irrelevance.
Who needs drug courts? A defense-attorneys group says many who would benefit from directed drug treatment never get a chance.
October 17, 2009
It was a proud moment for Eagles coach Andy Reid this summer when his son "graduated" from drug-court supervision. But a new study makes a valid argument that guys like Britt Reid shouldn't be referred to that type of prison-alternative program. Britt Reid, 24, spent 15 months under supervision of the Montgomery County Drug Court. In 2007, he was arrested after flashing a gun at another motorist. Small amounts of cocaine and marijuana were found in his truck. While free on bail, he failed a sobriety test and Vicodin was found in his car. The National Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers conducted the two-year study that says drug courts too often suck up a community's drug-treatment funds to use on nonviolent criminals like Britt Reid, who may have their own resources to deal with their addictions.

Garrett Reid was sentenced yesterday to two years in a relatively new state corrections program that combines incarceration and intensive drug treatment. The eldest son of Eagles coach Andy Reid received three years' probation and was ordered to pay $30 a month in supervision fees and undergo frequent random drug testing. The Montgomery County Court recommended that Reid, 25, be sent to the State Intermediate Punishment Program (SIP) at the State Correctional Institution-Chester, in Delaware County.

Beyonce [1] won a hat-trick of awards at the 16th MTV Europe Music Awards (EMAs) at Berlin's O2 World Arena, which also marked the 20th anniversary of the fall of the Berlin Wall.
The ceremony was also notable for a third MTV EMAs honor for German pop-rock act Tokio Hotel [2] - the band also won in 2007 and 2008 - and the live performance by U2 [3] with Jay-Z [4] as surprise guest in front of the Brandenburg Gate. An audience numbering over 9,000 in the arena witnessed a show lasting over two hours that provided a spectacular prelude to the celebrations marking the anniversary of German reunification.
Beyoncé was greeted with a standing ovations when, wearing a scarlet bodice replete with red suspenders, she emerged from a gigantic red box. She then went on to receive three awards, one for best singer, another for best song for "Halo" and the third one for best video for "Single Ladies." Visibly touched, she thanked her husband saying "there's only one person I want to thank and that's Jay-Z, who put a ring on my finger." Jay-Z won the award for best urban act, to which he responded: "I am looking forward to the time when all the walls fall and it's all only about music."
After performing their hit "World Behind My Wall" with twelve-meter high flame throwers behind them, Tokio Hotel went on to win the award for best group, beating Black Eyed Peas [5], Green Day [6], Jonas Brothers [7] and Kings Of Leon [8]. Host Katy Perry [9] referred to Tokio Hotel as the best example of German reunification, explaining that all the band members had come from eastern Germany. Bill Kaulitz, the lead singer of Tokio Hotel, commented: "We had not expected to beat all these great bands. We are very proud and thank you for your love, energy and unerring support." Their fans in the audience at the O2 World responded with a deafening concert of screams lasting several minutes.
U2's open-air concert in front of the Brandenburg Gate, which was shown in the O2 World Arena, met with a very enthusiastic response and featured Jay-Z on "Sunday, Bloody Sunday." With a gigantic laser shower, it proved to be a gigantic declaration of love for Berlin. Berlin mayor Klaus Wowereit commented: "What a spectacular concert!"
After the fall of the Wall, U2 had travelled to Berlin to record their "Achtung Baby" album in the Hansa Studios directly adjacent to the Wall. The album cover was illustrated with the Eastern Germany "Trabant" car. The single "One" became something of a "reunification anthem" in Germany. Speaking in German, Bono called out to the audience "Berlin, you're wonderful." Ten thousand people had received free tickets for the concert from MTV over the Internet. A light show projected parts of the wall onto the Brandenburg Gate, which was built over 200 years ago. The sign on the Gate bearing the words "No access" segued into the word "Freedom" complete with hearts. The audience applauded wildly when U2 played hits such as "Sunday, Bloody Sunday," "One Love" and "One." After the concert, Bono accepted the award for best live act on behalf of U2.
The concert had attracted harsh criticism, however. As the local daily newspaper "Berliner Kurier" had written, "A free gift to the people of Berlin to celebrate the 20th anniversary of the fall of the Berlin Wall? That's what you think. Only 10,000 fans will be lucky enough to be there. Partitions have been set up blocking the view of the Brandenburg Gate and the entire area is cordoned off. Only holders of the coveted tickets are allowed in. Everyone else will be turned away. The fans are furious. A new wall has been constructed to celebrate the fall of the Berlin Wall. Is that someone's idea of a bad joke?" MTV Networks International issued a statement saying that it worked closely with its local promoter DEAG, the borough of Berlin and the Berlin Police department on security, explaining that the barriers had been set up to protect the shops in the surrounding streets. Said one Berlin local sarcastically: "MTV has continued the good tradition of our history with these barriers."
The other award winners at the Nov. 5 ceremony were Green Day for best rock band, Linkin Park [10] for best worldwide live performance and Placebo for best alternative. MaNga from Turkey received the award for best European band. Pixie Lott got the first MTV Push Artist award. Lady Gaga [11], who with five nominations had been a favorite for a number of awards, went home with only one - for best new act. She did not come to Berlin in person but sent greetings by video. Similarly, Eminem [12], who won the best male artist category, was not present in person in Berlin.
Internet voters selected Silbermond, who also come from eastern Germany, as best German band. Said vocalist Stefanie Kloß: "We particularly appreciate this award as we were democratically chosen by the music fans on the Internet."
There was a long list of celebrity award presenters, including David Hasselhoff, who had landed a hit 20 years before with "Looking for Freedom." "That was the best moment in my life - aside from the birth of my daughter. I came back to say thank you," he said. Hasselhoff attributed the fall of the Wall to the Eastern Berliners' strong yearning for a normal life in freedom.
Other presenters included Backstreet Boys, Juliette Lewis, Jean Reno, Jonas Brothers, Lil' Kim and boxer Vladimir Klitschko.
Shakira, who performed "Did It Again," the bands Green Day and Foo Fighters and Leona Lewis were particularly popular with the audience. Presenter Katy Perry put on a brave face when she hovered on a trapeze above the audience, stretched out on a grand piano and lolled about on a sofa in a bodice. At the end of the show, sitting on a crescent moon high above the stage, she wished the audience a safe trip home.
German media certainly admired the occasion - the first time the EMAs has returned to a city for a second time, after Berlin hosted the inaugural event in 1994. German news magazine "Stern" gushed, "pop is saved."
