VPD OK'd to increase staffing

The Vicksburg police department got the OK Monday from the Board of Mayor and Aldermen to increase its force by one. Vicksburg Police Chief Walter Armstrong asked to raise the staffing model from 80 to 81 officers. The department has 72 officers and plans to hire eight more as soon as next month, Armstrong said. "We have an officer who's been on military leave since 2005, and he's worked six months during that time period," Armstrong told the board. "We got notice last week that he has been activated for another year, and his salary

Instructions on handling emergencies ending today Mississippi Emergency Management officials were expected to tie up loose ends today with more instructions on a countywide emergency management plan for Vicksburg and Warren County. Two days of point-by-point instruction from the state two weeks ago nailed down most responses from local government during major storms and chemical accidents, such as firefighting, handling hazardous materials and search and rescue capability. Talks came days after Mayor Paul Winfield proposed to dissolve the city's emergency management department in streamlining efforts. Today's workshop with the state and city legal and planning department officials will deal with duties during natural gas and utility-related incidents, as well as housekeeping points like nonprofit coordination and types of disasters the final draft will specify, Warren

Looking on are Hosemann's wife, Tammy, and the youngest of their three children, 2-year-old Sarah Katherine. Scott Hosemann, who suffered burns and smoke inhalation in the fire, was released from River Region Medical Center during the weekend. On Monday, the family was given furniture for two bedrooms and the living room of their new apartment and, from other groups, food, cash and household items. At right, family friend Phyllis Smith holds Sarah Katherine up for a close look at the Christmas tree.

Port panel stalls on demolition By Danny Barrett Jr. firstname.lastname@example.com The year will end without a public offer from the Warren County Port Commission to take down or remove the Ceres Plantation House, as the panel on Monday chose informal channels to find out how much it'll cost. Since the Mississippi Department of Archives and History Board of Trustees decided in October to drop a move to designate the Civil
War-era farmhouse a Mississippi Landmark, the commission has wavered over how to remove the house and surrounding structures, which would free up 41 acres at the 1,290-acre Ceres industrial park at Flowers. Supported in principle just 10 days after preservationists nixed the protection idea, commissioners have bogged down on crafting how they want to haul the house from the property. Asbestos removal from the home
is likely, as is more requests for its hardwood flooring. Instead of spelling out a task description, commissioners have asked county engineering firm ABMB Engineers to send out broad definitions to the demolition industry in hopes of catching a low price. "We're saying draw up the guidelines and come back and get with the different entities that can do this kind of work," chairman Johnny file•The Vicksburg Post

U.S. population growth slowing down, census will show
By The Associated Press
WASHINGTON — If government estimates hold true, the closely watched 2010 census will show America's once-torrid population growth dropping to its lowest level in seven decades. In Congress, the steady migration to the South and West should be a boon for Repub-
licans, with GOP-leaning states led by Texas picking up House seats. The Census Bureau was to release today the first results from the once-a-decade government count, figures that will be used to reapportion the 435 House seats among the 50 states. The numbers trigger a high-stakes process wherein the dominant
party in each state redraws the election map, shaping the political landscape for the next 10 years. Census estimates provided this month based on birth and death records place the 2010 count somewhere between 305.7 million and 312.7 million, up from 281.4 million in 2000. That range means U.S. growth over the
previous decade would be at a slower pace than the 13.2 percent increase from 1990 to 2000. Demographers believe the official 2010 count will be 308.7 million or lower, putting U.S. growth at around 9 percent, the lowest since the 1940 census. That is the decade in which the Great Depression slashed the population
growth rate by more than half, to 7.3 percent. The U.S. is still growing quickly relative to other developed nations. The population in France and England each increased roughly 5 percent over the past decade, while in Japan the number is largely unchanged and See Census, Page A2.

"We have a youthful population that will create population momentum through a large number of births, relative to deaths, for years to come,� said Mark Mather, an associate vice president at the Population Reference Bureau, a private firm in Washington that analyzes census data. The declining growth rate since 2000 is due partly to the economic meltdown in 2008, which brought U.S. births and illegal immigration to a near standstill compared with previous years.

Politically, Texas stands to gain up to four seats due to a burgeoning Hispanic population and a diversified economy that held up relatively well during the recession, according to projections by outside analysts using census estimates. Other expected winners are GOP-leaning Arizona and Florida, which could add one or two seats. In all, roughly 18 states would be affected, gaining or losing seats. Among the projections: • Georgia, Nevada, South Carolina, Utah and Washington would each gain a seat. • Illinois, Iowa, Louisiana, Massachusetts, Michigan, Missouri, New Jersey and Pennsylvania would lose single seats. • The fastest growing states

Flowers family until 1986, when it was purchased by the county along with the rest of the industrial park's acreage. After eight months of off-and-on public and private debate — spiced by a drive led by out-of-state developers to turn it into a 19th centurythemed bed and breakfast — MDAH said the home did not meet enough criteria for the designation. Two proposals in February to demolish the main structure and an adjacent pool house ranged from $23,500 to $24,184, but were thrown out when the process began anew following MDAH's action.

Jackson lawyer Wayne Ferrell Jr. is suing Arkansas lawyer C. Tab Turner and others in Jasper County Chancery Court, seeking to force Turner to abide by a 2006 attorney-fee sharing agreement.
Ford agreed to place the settlement amount in an interest-bearing account while the dispute is being resolved. The automaker has no role in the fee dispute. Chancery Judge David Clark has ordered that no withdrawals of any kind be made without further orders of the court.
BATON ROUGE (AP) — Louisiana's lawmakers will call themselves into a special legislative session for the first time in history, when they come into session in March to redraw the state's political district lines. Rep. Rick Gallot, D-Ruston, the chairman of the House committee that deals with redistricting, announced Monday that lawmakers have gathered enough signatures on a petition to call their own special session — instead of waiting for the governor to do it for them. "It's not a slight on anybody else, but it's a function of the Legislature to do," Gallot told the Baton Rouge Press Club. House Clerk Alfred "Butch"

Speer said lawmakers have never previously called their own session since a constitutional provision in 1954 was added to allow them to do so. "Never in history, this is it," he said. Gallot, chairman of the House and Governmental Affairs Committee, said the session will begin March 20 and could last until April 13. The gathering is required to rework congressional, legislative, Public Service Commission, state education board, Louisiana Supreme Court and appeals court districts to account for population shifts over the last decade.

In November, attorneys attempted to mediate their fee dispute. They agreed to allow a certain amount of the settlement to go to the family while they battle for the money. However, one of the attorneys, James Nobles Jr., "reneged on the agreement," Brian Herrington, one of Cole's estate attorneys, said in a motion filed recently. But Nobles' attorney, Brady Kellems of Brookhaven, said his client already had agreed in November in a motion that undisputed settlement money should go to the Coles.

Short-term deal not enough It's a neat trick possible only in Washington, D.C.: A grand bargain is struck on taxes that adds $900 billion to the federal deficit over two years and kicks the question of tax cuts down the road to the next election. For the deficit hawk in us, this is hard to swallow. Eventually, taxes will have to rise and spending will have to be cut to bring to heel the longterm deficit. But now is not the time for either tax increases or big cuts in spending. The most recent jobs report was only the latest signal of the extraordinary weakness in this economy. Unemployment nationally remains nearly 10 percent. Millions are out of work, some for many months. Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke recently said that it
may take years for the nation to return to a normal employment pattern. We're betting, as is President Barack Obama, that the economy will look significantly better in 18 months, and we're betting that the stimulative aspects of this deal and recent actions by the Fed will help. Obama gave in on extending tax cuts for the wealthy, but he got Republicans to agree to a 13-month extension of unemployment insurance for the long-term unemployed, a one-year cut of two percentage points in the Social Security payroll tax (that's another $1,000 in the pockets of a family earning $50,000), extension of tax credits for education and child care and an extension of the Earned Income Tax Credit.
The deal would reinstate the estate tax at 35 percent and set the exclusion level at a more reasonable $5 million. Unemployment benefits and the tax holiday both put money directly into the pockets of people who will spend, and that should help spur job growth. Now that the tax fight is over, Obama should pivot to the next pressing need: a credible plan for long-term deficit reduction. Fortunately, he already has one. Obama should embrace the plan his own commission approved 11-7 last week. The president has two opportunities: his upcoming State of the Union address and his budget proposal. It's his move.

MODERATELY CONFUSED by Bill Stahler
Could tax deal lead to more bipartisanship in Washington, D.C.? President Barack Obama and congressional Republicans are proving they can work together under the threat of an impending crisis — and to pass out expensive goodies to the electorate. Next year, the question will be: Can they agree when crises are less imminent and when the solutions may involve taking benefits away? Obama, attacked by the far right as a "socialist," is proving to be a pragmatist if not a centrist. But will Republicans respond constructively and negotiate with him? Ideally — and this is what poll after poll shows that the public wants — the 2012 election could be fought over who deserves the most credit for solving America's problems, not who's to blame for not solving them. The bipartisan tax deal passed by the Senate on Wednesday was a beginning. Obama agreed to items he detests — extension of income and estate-tax breaks for the wealthy — in order to secure unemployment benefits, a one-year payroll tax holiday for workers and various other tax credits. And Republicans accepted Obama's tax breaks in return for extension of the George W. Bush tax cuts for those making more than $250,000 and inheritance tax
A Washington Post analysis showed that Obama-sought items in the package amounted to $343 billion, compared with $103 billion for GOP items and $500 billion for mutually agreed-upon items.
breaks for the very rich. Polls show that the public didn't like elements of the package — including, strangely, the cut in payroll taxes — but cheered the whole. According to the latest Washington Post/ABC poll, 69 percent supported the deal, and 62 percent said they did so even after being informed that it could increase the federal deficit by $900 billion over 10 years. Among politicians, the deal won overwhelming approval, too, except among deficit hawks and on the right and left fringes. According to a Battleground poll last year — the most recent to ask the question — only 19 percent of voters self-identified as "very conservative" (vs. 40 percent "somewhat conservative"), and a more recent McClatchy/Marist poll indi-
cated that just 29 percent supports the Tea Party. Yet that minority and its mouthpieces have disproportionate sway on Republicans and could well try to block future compromises by Republicans with Obama — assuming they can be reached. Meanwhile, on the Democratic side, ideology is even more rampant in spite of the fact that perceived excessive liberalism was largely responsible for the party's getting whacked in the 2010 elections. Democratic congressional leaders had all year to pass a tax bill or try to embarrass Republicans with votes favoring millionaires, but they waited until after the election to act, putting Obama in a weak bargaining position. Even then, the deal he worked
out arguably favored Democrats. A Washington Post analysis showed that Obama-sought items in the package amounted to $343 billion, compared with $103 billion for GOP items and $500 billion for mutually agreed-upon items. But the deal was denounced as "capitulation" by liberal members of Congress and as "kowtowing" and "triangulation" (a dirty word to liberals) by left commentators. Most polls indicate that only about 20 percent of Americans self-identify as liberal. The Battleground poll last year showed that 10 percent consider themselves "very liberal" and 26 percent "somewhat liberal." The left's outrage — and Democratic Congressional resistance — was all the more irrational given that next year Republicans will be in a much stronger position to write tax laws their way. Obama is showing that he, at least, got the message of the 2010 elections. He met with big-business leaders he'd previously bashed. He closed a trade deal with South Korea. His idea of economic stimulus is heavily weighted toward tax cuts, albeit temporary ones. And he is signaling that he is ready to start working next year on deficit reduction and tax reform.
If achieved, that would do much to undo the damage of this week's $900 billion tax deal and save the country from long-term fiscal disaster. But that requires bipartisan cooperation to do unpleasant things — cut spending, reduce the growth rate of entitlement benefits, cap or take away tax breaks and raise revenue. The Washington Post poll showed that the public favors debt reduction by a combination of spending cuts and tax increases but opposes most specific items in both categories. The Post poll indicated that the public thinks Obama is more willing to compromise than Republicans are — and that it's less enamored of GOP ideas than it has been after other big election victories. So just imagine a 2012 election in which Democrats and Republicans competed over who deserved the most credit for defusing the debt bomb, for reforming the tax system, for improving education — instead of battling over who's to blame for deadlock. It's a dream, I know.

smart money Q: I am 63, and retired from Kentucky state government in 2008. I have $175,000 in a deferred comp program with the state. I started this as a tax shelter, and now that I'm retired, I wanted to know the best way to start taking it out. I originally had it split up in different BRUCE stocks, bonds etc, but when a certain president was elected a few years ago, I moved it to an interest-bearing system. I received about $1,400 a quarter in interest, but I know when I take it out, it will cost me at least 20 percent taxes. Before I retired, I also split my savings into a 401(k) and a 457, because when I retired, I rolled over about $20,000 into the fund from my annual leave and comp time. I don't actually need the money. I have two properties, have a good retirement and Social Security, have no credit card problems, and my wife is an RN and still works. I know I
have to take it out when I turn 70, and I didn't know if I should take it out in small increments or just bite the tax bullet and take it all out? — Johnny, via e-mail A: Congratulations on your prudence. You have made some good decisions in the past, and clearly you have lived well within your income. There are many people who cannot say that. That observed, there is no way anyone can tell you the better way to go without sitting down and looking at all of your income deductions, etc., as well as taking into account your immediate and longrange plans. One example: Some people will tell you to bite the bullet because it's very possible that our government, in its "wisdom," may raise the tax rates. Not necessarily, but it could happen. The point is that until you take all these variables into account with your unique circumstances (all of our circumstances are unique to ourselves), there is no way to make the best decision. An accountant that specializes in tax matters is the only way to go in my opinion. •

TOKYO (AP) — Toyota Motor Corp. has agreed to pay the U.S. government a record $32.4 million in additional fines to settle an investigation into its handling of two recalls at the heart of its safety crisis. The civil penalties will settle investigations into how Toyota dealt with recalls over accelerator pedals that could get trapped in floor mats and steering relay rods that could break and lead to drivers losing control. The latest settlement, on top of a $16.4 million fine Toyota paid earlier in a related investigation, brings the total penalties levied on the company to $48.8 million. It caps a difficult year for the world's No.
1 automaker, which recalled more than 11 million vehicles globally since the fall of 2009 as it scrambled to protect its reputation for safety and reliability. Toyota's board of directors agreed to pay the fines today at the company's board meeting in Japan, said an official familiar with the case, and the company said it agreed to the penalties without admitting to any violations of U.S. laws. However, that does not free Toyota from potential civil and criminal penalties in private lawsuits and other federal investigations. The person had spoken on condition of anonymity ahead of the formal announcement.
Check's in the mail a phrase of the past WASHINGTON (AP) — Before too long, the government check will no longer be in the mail. Officials have settled on the dates when millions of people will no longer be able to get their Social Security and other benefit checks by mail. New recipients of benefits will have to accept paperless payments starting May 1 of next year, three months later than first proposed. Those already on Social Security will have until March

Already eight out of 10 people getting federal benefits receive those payments electronically, officials say. The final rules, scheduled to be unveiled today, are very similar to a proposal the federal government put forward in June.

Continued from Page A1. will not be paid during that time. I believe much of our success in covering this city has to do with the manpower and to have this extra officer on our roster, we can continue to provide the services." The deployed officer is Investigator Doug King, who is not being paid while serving overseas. The 81 officers is about 20 fewer than 10 years ago when Deputy Chief Mitchell Dent was chief. He said the force fluctuated to as low as 50 during Mayor Laurence Leyens' two terms, 2001 to 2009. "With the number of calls the police department answers," Dent said, "you have to have adequate manpower for that. I think the number we have budgeted for now is adequate." Dent, who returned to the city police force in June as deputy chief of operations, said the police department receives nearly 100,000 calls annually. "We're allowing ourselves to keep our staffing model where it needs to be," Mayor Paul Winfield said. South Ward Alderman Sid Beauman, who was not at the meeting because of illness, said he would have voted for the request. The police department's annual budget this fiscal year is $6.5 million, up from $6.1 million last fiscal year. In other business, the board agreed to a contract with Veljo Davis, a former city human resource associate who resigned Dec. 14, to assist in the human

County Continued from Page A1. County Emergency Management Director Gwen Coleman said. The overall plan is expected to keep the county as primary contact with MEMA during largescale emergencies, with appropriate coordination with the city depending on the incident. Vicksburg Fire Chief Charles Atkins was retained as a liaison to the county for incidents with hazardous materials. Current city emergency management director Anna Booth is a secondary liaison and is expected to be in an administrative role in the new plan. Both local governing bodies plan to discuss the plan at length in January before approval, expected a month later at the earliest. Grants for personnel and equipment were held up this year because no comprehensive report had been finalized, though supervisors did sign off Monday
to act as a conduit for a $31,115 grant to finance a backup generator for the Yokena Jeff Davis Water District. The district will match 5 percent of the grant. Coleman said the money was part of a hazard mitigation grant program left over from pools of funds made available after Hurricane Katrina and wasn't contingent on completion of the comprehensive response plan. An emergency management department was created within city government in 2007 by former mayor Laurence Leyens, who had criticized the county and state's response to Katrina. In its budget for 2010-11, the city allocated $108,498 to the entity. Warren County budgeted to kick in $147,466 for emergency management from the general fund this year, with other capabilities funded by federal and state grants.
On the agenda In their meeting Monday, members of the Warren County Port Commission: • Delayed appointments to the Vicksburg Bridge Commission and Vicksburg Tallulah Regional Airport until after the new year. Vacancies were created on each by resignations announced in November of bridge commissioner Ray "T-Bone" Wade and airport advisory board member Dan Fordice. Wade was the District 3 appointee to the panel that oversees daily operations of the U.S. 80 bridge over the Mississippi River. Fordice was the county's appointee to the oversight panel for the Mound airport owned by the City of Vicksburg, Warren County, the City of Tallulah and Madison Parish. Supervisors must name two people to the VTR board, one to fill the county's exclusive appointed post and another to fill a
"swing" seat that alternates between the county and the parish every three years. • Accepted for information a request from Warren County Land Company and Warren County Land Company II LLC that part of Old River Road that bisects the two firms adjacent tracts of land on Kings Point Island be abandoned. • Accepted the District Attorney's Office report of fines for June through October. For the period, the office assessed $838,506.23 in fines and collected $325,293.20, victim assistance coordinator Brenda Theriot said. • Took four bids for rip rap and other types of stone under advisement. • Authorized a $42,365 check to the Mississippi Public Entity Employee Benefit Trust Plan for workers compensation premium. • Approved a preliminary plat and a variance request for Tibbs Lane, off U.S. 61 North.

South prepares for possible North Korea attack YEONPYEONG ISLAND, South Korea (AP) — A South Korean destroyer prowled the sea and fighter jets screamed across the skies today in preparation for possible North Korean attacks a day after staging provocative artillery drills on an island the North shelled last month. North Korea has said it would not retaliate for the exercises off Yeonpyeong Island — reversing its earlier threats. A senior South Korean government official, however, said that the lack of response so far does not mean Pyongyang is backing down, noting that North Korea thrives on "surprise" attacks. The official spoke on condition of anonymity due to the sensitivity of the matter. Pyongyang considers the waters around the island —

South Korean marines unload supplies from a ferry at a port today on Yeonpyeong Island, South Korea. a tiny enclave of fishing communities and military bases within sight of North Korean shores — its territory, and similar drills last month triggered an artillery barrage that killed four South Koreans, in the first
attack targeting civilian areas since the 1950-53 Korean War. New Mexico Gov. Bill Richardson, who made an unofficial visit to North Korea this week, praised Pyongyang's "statesmanlike" restraint.
Support grows for OK of U.S.-Russia nuke pact WASHINGTON — President Barack Obama is moving closer to gaining Senate approval of a major arms control treaty with Russia as he builds support among reluctant Republican senators. The administration has stepped up its lobbying of pivotal Republicans to win approval of the New START treaty, which has become Obama's main priority for the remaining legislative session. With lawmakers moving toward a final vote expected this week, the White House and senior Democrats were expressing confidence Monday that they had the
U.S. executions drop by 12% WASHINGTON (AP) — The number of executions in the United States dropped 12 percent in 2010, and the number of people sentenced to die is nearing historic lows, a report from an anti-capital punishment group says. The Death Penalty Information Center attributed the reductions to changing attitudes toward capital punishment, but acknowledged there have also been problems with the availability of chemicals used in lethal injections. The group counted 46 executions in Texas, Ohio, Alabama, Virginia, Oklahoma, Mississippi, Georgia, Florida, Louisiana, Arizona, Utah and Washington in 2010. That's fewer than in 2009, when there were 52 executions in 16 states. Tennessee, South Carolina, Indiana and Missouri did not execute anyone in 2010.

Spending bill freezes pay for federal workers Federal workers would face a two-year pay freeze under a spending bill Congress will take up this week to keep the government operating through March 4. The bill would protect student Pell grants, veteran's
benefits and a program that helps low-income families pay their heating bills. A small business loan program would be extended. Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., has scheduled a procedural vote on the bill for this morning. The Senate could pass it as early as today, sending it to the House, which delayed its vacation to take up the bill. Passing the bill — known as a "continuing resolution" — would prevent the government from running out of money for daily operations tonight and forcing a shutdown.

Lawmakers approved 29 ministers including alMaliki to form the new government. The remainder of the 42-member Cabinet is made up of acting ministers who will be replaced at a later date.

sidelines South Panola earns USA Today crown
South Panola can finally add a national championship trophy to all those state titles. The Batesville school was ranked No. 1 in the country in the final USA Today high school football poll released Monday. It's the first time a Mississippi school has topped the final USA Today poll, which is considered the most prestigious of several national polls. South Panola was also ranked No. 1 by websites Maxpreps.com and Rivals.com. South Panola beat Meridian 28-7 on Dec. 4 to win the Mississippi Class 6A championship, its second state title in a row and ninth overall. The Tigers finished the season 15-0 — including a convincing victory over Georgia Class 5A runnerup Colquitt County in August — and have won 27 consecutive games. "I think, athletically, this is the best football team I've had," South Panola coach Lance Pogue told USA Today. "Last year a lot of these guys were inexperienced, but this year we picked up where we left off. We had a lot of seniors with all the intangibles you would like to have. Nobody put themselves above the team." Although this is the first football championship for a Mississippi school, it's the state's second national title this year. In the spring, Sumrall finished No. 1 in USA Today's baseball poll.

Gators can't reel in mighty Meridian By Jeff Byrd email@example.com RIDGELAND — Vicksburg coach Dellie C. Robinson feels his Gators are letting some pretty big prey slip from their grasp this season. Monday night's clash with No. 1-ranked Meridian was a prime example. The Gators (8-3) were down by four points with 1:59 left, but three straight turnovers and two missed shots allowed Meridian (8-1) to escape with a 61-53 win at the Ridgeland Christmas Classic. "We were right there, just like Callaway and just like Provine," Robinson said. "That's three we should have." Robinson felt his Gators (8-3) could have won had South Alabama signee Mychal Ammons played a better game. Ammons finished with 16 points, nine rebounds and five assists, but only scored two points in the first half — both of them coming in the first quarter. He picked up his second foul early in the second quarter and sat out the rest of the period. That was enough of an opening for Mississippi State signee Rodney Hood, a 6-foot-8 senior widely considered the best player in the state, to exert himself. Hood made just 1 of 8 shots in the first quarter, but came back to drop 6 of 8 in the second to turn a nine-point deficit into a 35-33 lead for Meridian at halftime. Hood finished with 20 points and nine rebounds to lead Meridian (11-1). Marcus Hurn added 12 points. "Mike's got to bring his 'A' game against a team like Meridian." Robinson said. "That's because I expect a lot out of him." See VHS, Page B2.

Bears slam Vikings, Favre on snowy night MINNEAPOLIS — Only Brett Favre could get hurt in a game he was supposedly too beat up to play in. After Minnesota's battered quarterback walked off the snow-coated field with what he later called a concussion, Jay Cutler and the Chicago Bears took back the division title Favre is so used to winning. Cutler's three touchdown passes and record-setting Devin Hester's dashing kick returns helped the Bears fly past the Vikings 40-14 on a frosty, hard-hitting night to clinch the NFC North. Hester caught one of Cutler's touchdown passes and also took back the secondhalf kickoff 79 yards to set up a field goal a few minutes

before his game-breaking punt return made it 27-7. "Hopefully this is just a stepping stone," Cutler said. After a sudden improvement in his sprained throwing shoulder, Favre was upgraded on the injury report less than eight hours before the game from "out" to "questionable." He passed his pregame test and came out as the starter, capping the opening drive with a TD pass to Percy Harvin. The lead didn't last, though, and the Bears (10-4) took control. Corey Wootton's second-quarter sack sent Favre to the frozen turf, and his helmet bounced off the ground. Favre lay motionless for a few seconds before climbing to his feet and walking slowly off with his head hung down.

ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. — As friends and former colleagues, Southern Miss' Larry Fedora and Louisville's Charlie Strong have admired one another's work for years. The coaches in tonight's Beef 'O'Brady's Bowl worked together as assistants at Florida for two seasons, building a tight relationship they'll put aside when the Golden Eagles and Cardinals take the field. Fedora has guided Southern Miss (8-4) to a bowl game in each of his three seasons at the Conference USA school. Louisville (6-6), which left C-USA for the Big East five years ago, is aiming to finish Strong's first season as a head coach with the Cardinals' first winning record since 2006. "I knew he would be a great head coach when he got that opportunity. He's showing that right now," said Fedora, who along with Strong was part of former Florida coach Ron Zook's staff in Gainesville in 2003 and 2004. Fedora was the Gators' offensive coordinator and Strong ran the defense that second season. "Neat situation to compete against him," the Southern Miss coach added. "To sit in a room with a guy, have one common goal and that's to win, do all the things it takes, overcome adversity, to see what kind of character that man has, says a lot about somebody." Tonight figures to remind the coaches of the days when they used to go at each other in practice. Southern Miss is averaging just over 458 yards total offense and has scored at least 31 points in 10 of 12 games. Louisville's defense ranks 11th nationally while yielding 18.7 points per game. It's the ninth consecutive bowl trip for the Golden Eagles, who appeared in the New Orleans Bowl each of the past two seasons under Fedora. "When they established this bowl, our AD and I talked about it," Fedora said. "We're not playing for a championship, this is the bowl we want to be in. Come to Florida, be in the warm weather, everything the beach brings. ... Get to play a great opponent. Be indoors. Really a perfect venue."

NBA NBA completes purchase of Hornets NEW ORLEANS — The NBA completed its purchase of the New Orleans Hornets and announced that the league's board of governors has given its anticipated approval of the deal. NBA Commissioner David Stern said on Dec. 6 that the NBA intended to buy the Hornets from majority owner George Shinn and minority owner Gary Chouest. Shinn had been trying to sell the club to Chouest since last spring, but negotiations had stalled. Stern said the franchise is worth about $300 million and that the league will look to sell the club to a permanent owner who would continue to operate the team in New Orleans.
NFL Knee surgery ends Owens' season CINCINNATI — Terrell Owens had knee surgery Monday, ending the wide receiver's revival season with the Cincinnati Bengals.

Owens signed a one-year deal with a $2 million base salary at the start of training camp. He led the team with 72 catches for 983 yards and nine touchdowns.

Meridian scored the first five points of the third quarter to go up seven. Ammons, however, brought the Gators back. He had nine points in the quarter to pull Vicksburg within 50-45. A basket by Josh Gaskin, who had 15 points for Vicksburg, made it 55-51 with 4:35 left. Meridian got a 3-pointer from Hurn go to up 58-51. Ammons' final basket brought the deficit to five at 58-53 with two minutes to go. Vicksburg made three straight stops, but got nothing out of it as two turnovers and a missed shot by Kienta Ross killed its chances. A 3-pointer by Meridian with 44 seconds left sealed it. "We made some big shots when we needed to do," Meridian coach Randy Bolden said. "Vicksburg has a good team and they played us well." Gaskin, who also had six rebounds, said the Gators will grow from this. "Too many turnovers and a lack of execution hurt us," Gaskin said.

But younger audiences knew Landesberg, too — for a slew of recent parts such as the doctor on the 2008 hit movie "Forgetting Sarah Marshall." The veteran actor died Monday at age 65, his agent, Steve Jeffrey Leavitt, said. The cause of death wasn't Landesberg released. Nash C. Roberts Jr. — A meteorologist hailed during a 50-year broadcast career for his accuracy in predicting the tracks of Gulf Coast hurricanes has died at age 92.

'Newest star on the horizon'
Newton, flying Santas open Choctaw casino By Emily Wagster Pettus The Associated Press SANDERSVILLE — Las Vegas entertainer Wayne Newton flashed his blindingly perfect smile and five men dressed as Santa Claus parachuted from the sky Monday to help open a new casino in rural Mississippi. The Bok Homa Casino is owned and operated by the Mississippi Band of Choctaw Indians. The gambling hall is on tribal land in the woods of Jones County, in the south central part of the state. "I, too, am a very proud Native American," the tuxedoed Newton said. "And it's with great honor that I join my brothers and sisters from the Mississippi Band of Choctaw Indians in saying welcome to the newest star on the horizon. A big round of applause, ladies and gentlemen: Bok Homa." Traffic backed up for more than an hour on twolane roads leading to the 27,000-square-foot casino, which is about the size of a large suburban grocery store and does not have glitzy lights outside. With sunny skies and temperatures in the low 50s, about 400 people stood in a brisk breeze and waited to get in. Several women screamed "Waaaayne! Waaaayne!" when Newton first appeared on an outdoor stage. As the Santas drifted down from the sky on red, white and blue parachutes, four Choctaw youngsters, ages 3 through 5, jumped and squealed: "Santa! Santa!" Once the doors opened, seats at hundreds of slot machines filled quickly as people dropped money into the flashing, clanging contraptions. Grady Payne, a resident of nearby Laurel, played a $1 slot. He said he gambles every weekend at the Choctaws' other casino, the Silver Star, which is about 90 miles north of Bok Homa, outside Philadelphia. "I actually think they should've built this casino bigger," said Payne, 58, who helps manufacture portable buildings. "I think it's a good thing for Sandersville, even though a lot of people were against it." Religious groups and several politicians, including Republican Gov. Haley Barbour and Republican U.S. Rep. Gregg Harper, opposed the casino. Some local residents said they were worried that roads and water systems will be stressed by the development. Addie Chinn, who teaches for the Laurel school system, waited in line to gamble Monday. "I think of the job oppor-

Man on tractor accused of assault A Tennessee man is being held after trying to run over three sheriff's deputies with a stolen tractor, authorities said. The sheriff's office in Rutherford County said Monday that Christopher Nathan Davenport has been jailed on assault and other charges after deputies tried to apprehend him Friday for tearing up yards and driving the tractor recklessly. A sheriff's statement said the 23-year-old man crashed the tractor into a tree after trying to run over the deputies.

I hope it gives back to the community — to the local schools." The Choctaws' miko, or chief, Beasley Denson, said the $18 million casino employs about 300 people, and he expects it to grow. "We're coming in as a good neighbor," Denson said

The Vicksburg Post
Parents who lost daughter are now in a different place Dear Abby: My beautiful 20-year-old daughter was killed in a car accident. I am writing this not only for myself, but for all parents who have lost a child, and to all of the wonderful people who asked, "What can I do for you?" At the time there wasn't much anyone could do to help, but after two years I have an answer: Accept me for who I am NOW. When Rachel came into my life, it changed me profoundly. Losing her did the same. Her father and I work hard to honor her memory, but we will never "get over it" to the degree of being who we were before. I am different now. In some ways — I think — better. I am kinder, more patient, more appreciative of small things, but I am
not as outgoing nor as quick to laugh. I know people mean well when they encourage me to get on with my life, but this IS my life. My priorities have changed. My expectations of what my future will hold have changed. Please extend to me again the offer of "anything I can do" and, please, accept me as I am now. — Different Now in Riverview, Fla. Dear Different Now: Please accept my profound sympathy for the tragic loss of your
BY BERNICE BEDE OSOL • NEWSPAPER ENTERPRISE ASSOCIATION If tomorrow is your birthday: Conditions, both socially and materially, are looking quite hopeful in the near future, especially because of certain people who trust you to do all the right things regarding shared projects. You shan't let them down. Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) — Don't hesitate to take on a number of assignments simultaneously, because the busier you are, the greater your efficacy will be. In fact, put the toughest jobs at the top of your list. Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) — Focus in areas that could provide you with several major, easily achievable goals. Remain positive, because they could put you in the profit column quite swiftly. Pisces (Feb. 20-March 20) — Try to make an arrangement to get together with someone who has been on your mind a lot lately, because chances are s/he has been thinking of you as well. Good things could ensue. Aries (March 21-April 19) — Step back a few paces and let a wannabe run the show for a bit. You might fare better in the long run if you start to train others to step in and learn to be able to carry the load if needed. Taurus (April 20-May 20) — In a conversation with friends, you might get a good idea about making something in which you're involved more profitable than it already is. Follow through on your brainstorm. Gemini (May 21-June 20) — This is a better than usual day for devising ways to materially enrich your life. What you conceive at this time is likely to work out quite successfully. Cancer (June 21-July 22) — One of your greatest assets is helping people to have faith in themselves in ways that rouse their spirits and enthusiasm. You might spread yourself around in this way more than usual. Leo (July 23-Aug. 22) — Your intuition and kindness are two very valuable assets that are apt to enable you to spot a number of opportunities others miss, so don't ignore any hunches — investigate all possibilities. Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) — Follow any path you stumble on that might uncover an impediment that has been disturbing you, because even if you can't totally remove it, you might be able to circumnavigate it. Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) — That which appears to be small or even insignificant to most people is likely to lead you to some very large opportunities, especially where your career or work is concerned. Be sure to follow what you can. Scorpio (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) — Your outgoing attitude and warm demeanor will attract favorable attention. Even several people who have failed to acknowledge you previously will sit up and take notice. Sagittarius (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) — It shouldn't come as any surprise that you could be the catalyst for making good things happen, both for you and your posse.
BY DR. ROBERT WALLACE • NEWSPAPER ENTERPRISE ASSOCIATION Dr. Wallace: I'm 17 and have my driving license. Once in a while, if I'm going somewhere special, my dad allows me to drive the car, and I appreciate his generosity. Last Saturday, he let me use the car to go to the mall with a friend. On the way home, a guy ran into the rear of the car while I was stopped at a light. I called my dad. He came right over and took down the guy's name and all that stuff. He also called the police, who investigated the accident. There wasn't a lot of damage done to Dad's car, but the guy's insurance will pay for it. But now my dad says that since I've had an accident, I can't drive the car any more. Do you think this is fair? A simple yes or no will do. My father also reads your column religiously, so we will read your answer together. — Nameless, St. John, Ind. Nameless: No. You should not be blamed for an accident that was not your fault! Dr. Wallace: Why are girls always blamed for the high rate of teen pregnancies? Aren't people — who write articles, do surveys, and think they know a lot about teenagers — aware that it takes both a male and a female to cause a pregnancy? Why is it always the girl who is singled out and ridiculed and never the boy? I'm getting very tired of this injustice. — Demi, Reno, Nev. Demi: You know the old expression, "the buck stops here"? When it comes to giving birth — that's the woman's lot. She can't evade responsibility the way a male can. In some cases, the guy might not even be aware he's going to be a father. The female endures all the emotional trauma of pregnancy and birth — which, unfortunately, makes her an easy target for superficial social critics. They see unwanted pregnancy as the woman's problem. It's not fair, but that's the way it is. The next time you read an article that forgets to mention that two people are involved in making babies, write to the author and explain the injustice. • Dr. Robert Wallace writes for Copley News Service.

daughter. I hope that your letter will help anyone who doesn't understand that the death of a child is the most devastating loss parents can suffer and that the experience is life-changing. They may get beyond it, but they never get "over" it. To expect that they would is unrealistic, because it's a wound that may become less visible but never goes away. Dear Abby: My husband and I struggled for years to have children. After many attempts and disappointments we have exhausted all our options. It has been extremely difficult for me to accept. My husband recently found his daughter from a previous relationship. He knew she existed, but his ex had kept the girl from him for many years. He is now ecstatic and wants
to spend every minute with her. He tells me how happy he is to have a daughter. I want to be supportive, but it kills me. The girl appears to have no desire to have me in her life. I don't know if I'll ever be able to view her as my stepdaughter. Yes, she's my husband's — but she is his, not "ours." I accept that my feelings are somewhat selfish, but I am not sure how to deal with them. I have been in and out of counseling with no change. Please help. — Not a "Real" Mom Dear Not: Stop beating yourself up for having unpleasant feelings. If your description is accurate, your husband has allowed his daughter to "clique" you out. While it's understandable that because of their long separation his daughter could be fixated on him and vice versa, he should
Gallbladder disease might be cause of pain Dear Dr. Gott: In your article about abdominal pain, I think you might have missed a likely possibility: gallbladder disease. I suffered from this for years, and no doctor took me seriously because I didn't have gallstones. When I finally had my gallbladder removed, I didn't have any more pain. Estrogen is known to irritate the gallbladder, and a 15-yearold has considerable estrogen in her body. Dear Reader: Gallbladder disease is another cause of abdominal pain. The pain is typically on the upper right side of the abdomen and may worsen after eating, especially fatty foods. Nausea, vomiting and loss of appetite might also be present. There are several types of gallbladder disease that include gallstones, inflammation, infection and blockage/obstruction. Two or more of these can be present at the same time. For example, inflammation can lead to blockage, which can lead to infection, or gallstones can lead to blockage, which can then lead to infection. Symptoms may be reduced by making dietary changes. These can include eliminating suspected food allergens; increasing intake of fiber, fruits and vegetables; and reducing the intake of refined and fatty foods, trans fats, red meat, alcohol and tobacco. Further treatment depends on which type of gallbladder disease is present. Gallstones can be treated with medication to dissolve the stone, but this can take up to two years and the stones often recur. Chronic issues with stones and inflammation more often necessitate surgery to remove the stones or the entire gallbladder. Dear Dr. Gott: Your article about the undiagnosed stomach problems sounded exactly like my niece. She suffered for several years until she saw an allergist, who found that she had many food allergies. As long as she avoids those foods, she is pain-free. Dear Reader: I received three other letters similar to yours. Two of those also mentioned H. Pylori, along with the food allergies and sensitivities. H. Pylori is a common type of bacteria thought to be present in about half of the world's population. Most people do not exhibit symptoms, nor do they experience any complications; however, for others, it can lead to potentially serious problems. Symptoms include weight loss, bloating, nausea, vomiting, frequent burping and an ache or burning pain in the abdomen. Complications include ulcers of the stomach and small intestine, stomach cancer and inflammation of the stomach lining. Treatment consists of antibiotics and medications to reduce stomach acid. Further testing to determine whether the infection has been eradicated may be recommended. Food sensitivities are food allergies. The different names

come into play because allergies conjure up thoughts of hives, rashes, swollen throats and tongues, and classic allergic reactions. Sensitivities, on the other hand, are often associated with other symptoms, such as gas, bloating, pain, constipation, diarrhea and more. Again, these are just different symptoms caused by the same problem: the body overreacting to a certain substance. Avoidance of the offending food is the best treatment.

let her know that both of you will love her if she'll give you the chance. Look at it from her perspective. If she's a young woman, she is dealing with a lot of emotions right now. Try to be patient, treat her warmly when you see her, and give her a chance to get to know you. Good relationships aren't
hatched fully formed; they take time to build.
