Tupelo man sentencedin cigarette smuggling
GReenville, Miss. — A Tupelo man who took part in a multistate cigarette smug-gling operation has been sentenced to 34 months in prison.
Jerry Burke was sen-tenced Wednesday in U.S. District Court in Greenville. He pleaded guilty in 2009 to defrauding the federal and local governments of millions of dollars in taxes and fees.
Prosecutors said Burke operated the business out of two Tupelo warehouses, which were raided in the spring of 2009, and caused the loss of tax dollars by selling untaxed tobacco products.
Burke must pay $525,000 restitution to Mississippi and South Carolina.

‘legal speed’
NeW ORleaNs (ap) — Dangerous new drugs are being sold as fake bath salts, fake fertilizer or fake insect repellent — and sending drug abusers to emergency rooms around the country after snorting or smoking them, poison center officials say.
At least 84 people in Loui-siana have been hospitalized because of paranoia, fight-ing, hallucinations, suicidal thoughts and physical effects such as hypertension and rapid heartbeat — most for a day or two, but at least three of them for weeks, Mark Ryan, head of the Louisiana Poison Center, said Wednesday.
Though they’re labeled as bath products or even poison,
always including the warn-ing “Not for human consump-tion,” word on the street and the Internet is that they can be sniffed as “legal cocaine” or “legal speed,” Henry A. Spiller, director of the Kentucky Regional Poison Center in Louisville, said Wednesday.
“These are experienced drug users ... There’s a lot of things they’ll suffer for the drug high they’re looking for,” Spiller
said. “Even these people are coming into the emergency room. Even they can’t handle these fairly nasty effects.”
Ryan said users describe the drugs as many times more potent than Ritalin or cocaine. Spiller said several had tried to kill themselves, and others attacked friends or family.
Julie Sanders, an emergency room doctor in Covington, said her stepson, Dickie Sand-
ers, 21, shot and killed him-self after sniffing “Cloud 9” — one of the names under which MDPV, short for methylene-dioxypyrovalerone, is sold.
She said he felt so ill and paranoid the first morning that he repeatedly called his father, family physician Rich-ard J. Sanders, telling him how he was feeling and what he’d taken. The drug kept him awake and paranoid for three nights, she said. The last night he hallucinated that their house was surrounded by police helicopters and cars.
The coroner is investigating a possible suicide but has not officially ruled on it, said Capt. George Bonnett of the St. Tam-many Parish Sheriff’s Office.
Civil rights groups wantinvestigation of hanging
gReeNWOOd (ap) — DNA tests have confirmed an autopsy ruling that the hang-ing death of Frederick Jer-maine Carter was a suicide, said Leflore County Sheriff Ricky Banks.
National and local civil rights groups are pushing for a Jus-tice Department investigation into the incident.
Carter’s body was found hanging from a tree Dec. 3.
Banks told the newspaper that his office sent the slip knot and the section of the rope that was tied around a branch to a private lab in Jack-son for DNA testing. The lab found only Carter’s DNA on the rope, he said.
The DNA results were con-sistent with a preliminary
autopsy which ruled the death a suicide; Banks also has said the only footprints around the tree were Carter’s.
Banks said the state Crime Lab found no traces of drugs, prescription or otherwise, in Carter’s system. Banks said he had the tests done to see if Carter was taking the med-ication prescribed for his schizophrenia.
Banks said family mem-bers have confirmed that Carter had been treated in 2008 for mental illness at the Mississippi State Hospital at Whitfield.
The NAACP is asking the Civil Rights and Criminal Divi-sions of the Justice Depart-ment to investigate under the federal hate-crime statute.
February event in Alabama will markConfederate president’s swearing-in
MONTgOMeRY, ala. (ap) — Hundreds of Civil War re-enactors will parade up Mont-gomery’s main street to the state Capitol on Feb. 19 to re-create the swearing-in of Con-federate President Jefferson Davis 150 years ago.
African-American leaders might protest, saying the Con-federacy should be remem-bered with shame for trying to keep blacks enslaved.
Organizers said they are not trying to create controversy.
“We are trying to present a historical account of what happened 150 years ago,” said Thomas Strain Jr. of Tanner, a member of the national board of the Sons of Confederate Veterans.
The national SCV is organiz-ing the event, with more than 700 people already signed up to participate in the parade. Strain said it will look like the militia units and private citizens who marched up Dexter Avenue on Feb. 18, 1861, to see Davis take the oath of office at the top of the state Capitol steps. Sev-
eral thousand people, includ-ing descendants of Davis, are expected to watch the parade and swearing-in ceremony.
Organizers will then fast-for-ward a month to recreate the raising of the first Confederate flag at the Capitol. But it will be done on a flagpole near the Capitol rather than using the main pole on the dome. In 1993, black legislators won a lawsuit that ended Alabama’s practice of flying the Confederate battle flag from the Capitol dome, and
the SCV isn’t trying to buck that court ruling.
Alabama’s longest-serving black legislator, Democrat Alvin Holmes of Montgom-ery, was one of the lawmakers who won that lawsuit. Holmes said he plans to work with civil rights groups to organize a protest, much like occurred Monday night when a “Seces-sion Ball” was held in Charles-ton, S.C. Members of the NAACP marched and held a vigil and one leader called that celebration “disgusting.”
“The Confederacy was to maintain the institution of slav-ery,” he said. “People can argue it was about states’ rights, but the states’ rights was to main-tain slavery. They wanted slaves and they didn’t want the federal government to get involved.”
Various events are being planned to mark the Civil War Sesquicentennial, from those under the auspices of the National Park Service and states to privately organized events.
Fake bath salts sickening drug abusers in La.Although they’re labeled as bath products or even
poison, always including the warning ‘Not for human consumption,’ word on the street and the Internet is that they can be sniffed as ‘legal cocaine’ or ‘legal
speed,’ Henry A. Spiller, director of the Kentucky Regional Poison Center in Louisville, said Wednesday.

Lt. Col. Terrence Lakin didn’t rush onto a battleground this week; he walked into a mili-tary courtroom. He didn’t fire a weapon; he pleaded guilty to dis-obeying orders related to deploy-ment, and not guilty to the more serious charge of “missing move-ment.” But Lakin put his life — in the sense of his distinguished 17-year career as an Army sur-geon, his income, his pension, and his personal freedom — on the line due to his sworn duty to the U.S. Constitution.
All members of the U.S. military take the following oath:
“I, (NAME), having been appointed an officer in the Army of the United States, as indicated above in the grade of _____ do sol-emnly swear (or affirm) that I will support and defend the Constitu-tion of the United States against all enemies, foreign or domes-tic, that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; that I take this obligation freely, without any mental reservations or purpose of evasion; and that I will well and faithfully discharge the duties of the office upon which I am about
to enter; So help me God.”To Lakin, “true faith and alle-
giance” were more than words; they were a call to action. And so, because the current president of the United States has never released the paperwork neces-sary to establish his legitimacy as a “natural-born citizen,” Lt. Col. Lakin took action.
Over the course of a year, he sought assurances of the presi-dent’s eligibility from both the military and his congressional delegation. Receiving none, Lakin questioned his 2010 redeploy-ment orders, believing that as a senior officer ordered back into a war zone — and, not incidentally, ordered to bring along copies
ofhis own birth certificate — he had every right to ask his com-mander in chief to prove his bona fides. Hoping to force the issue into the open, if necessary in a military court, the Bronze Star recipient stopped following his redeployment order.
Here’s the rub as I understand it: The military justice system isn’t empowered to consider whether a president, duly elected and certi-fied by the Electoral College, inau-gurated and sworn in by the chief justice of the U.S. Supreme Court, is anything other than what the civilian leadership says he is. What this means is that Lakin’s beau geste may originate within the military order but it falls into
the category of civil disobedience — breaking the law to uphold higher principle. It is a higher principle no one else is upholding. Indeed, Lakin’s disobedience high-lights the existence of a vacuum of “true faith and allegiance” in the land. A gross abdication of civilian responsibility to ensure the lawful transfer of presiden-tial powers took place long before Lakin received orders to return to Afghanistan.
By sacrificing the service career he loves, Lakin serves the Con-stitution he loves more. He also does the rest of us a great favor. Through this peaceful action, Lakin has directed our attention to the moral corruption of our most trusted public servants who, rather than expose themselves to political inconvenience, permitted the secrecy of Barack Obama to fester in the first place.
As a presidential candidate born in the Panama Canal Zone, Sen. John McCain was himself chal-lenged during the 2008 presiden-tial campaign to prove his bona fides. He, of course, complied — who wouldn’t? As candidate,
as GOP party leader, as scion of a military family, as U.S. sena-tor, McCain failed at this crucial point simply, logically, correctly, to invite his opponent, Sen. Obama, to do exactly the same.
Like a house of cards that was never built, the rest of the Senate, the House of Representatives, the White House, the judiciary, the nation’s political parties, the Elec-toral College, and, of course, the Obama-enthralled media all fol-lowed suit. And the rest is history.
Or would be, if it weren’t for heroic Lt. Col. Terrence Lakin.
This week’s court martial ver-dict, guilty on all counts, settles nothing. On the contrary it leaves the question in boldface: What could possibly be preventing the president from showing the American people his original, 1961 birth certificate? What remains to be seen is whether there exists any authority, any leader in this whole country with the courage of a Lakin to ask.

ClimateRepresentatives of 193 nations
meeting in Cancun, Mexico, apparently still couldn’t agree on how to redistribute richer nations’ wealth to poorer nations under the pretense of combating global warming. As delegates left Cancun, we’re pleased to note that, like last year’s failed U.N.-sponsored climate conference in Copen-hagen, Denmark, this global warming summit amounted to little more than two weeks of hot air.
Meanwhile, reality contin-ues cooling global warm-ing fever. Top NASA experts reported existing climate com-puter models exaggerate CO2’s warming effects, and fail to properly account for impor-tant cooling that will kick in as CO2 levels rise, according to a recently published study in the journal Geophysical Research
Letters. If correct, CO2 could double in the atmosphere, and “we can go a couple of centu-ries without any dangerous warming,” one UK environ-mental columnist noted.
One researcher said in a NASA statement accompany-ing the paper, “Each year we get better and better. It’s impor-tant to get these things right.” We repeatedly point out that it’s a good idea to “get these things right” before redistrib-uting wealth to remedy what may not be a problem.
Coinciding with the Inter-governmental Panel on Cli-mate Change meeting, a list was released by ClimateDepot.com, a leading global warm-ing debunking site, identifying more than 1,000 dissenting sci-entists around the world who challenge the theory of a man-made global warming catastro-
phe. Dissenters include current and former IPCC scientists. It’s become more difficult for global warming zealots to quiet critics, many of whom once held similar views.
“Despite what you may have heard in the media, there is nothing like a consensus of scientific opinion that this is a problem,” said Tom Tripp, a member of the IPCC since 2004 and one of its lead authors.
Meanwhile, the outlook for alarmists may yet get bleaker. The House Science and Tech-nology Committee is expected next year to probe the Obama administration’s climate poli-cies, including what Rep. Ralph Hall, R-Texas, described as a “dishonest undercurrent” revealed with the leak of thou-sands of documents in 2009 from British and U.S. climate researchers.
Confab is just more hot air

Q: I am divorced, single and I understand I can claim on my ex-husband’s Social Security.
I would like to know if, when I turn 62, I c a n make a claim on his Social Security and con-tinue
working until I am 66 then drop from his and use mine? Up until this year I was get-ting alimony, but he took me to court to stop it. The story is too long and complicated, but suffice to say my income is very low. Does he have to be 62 before I can draw on the money? I am a year older than he so I don’t know if that makes a difference. — Mary, via e-mail
A: You have a very common problem to deal with. Your own Social Security account will result in the higher pay-ment to you, but you must first
claim on your own and then against your ex-husband’s account. As long as you were married for 10 years or more, you have that right. As to the age difference and the other circumstances, there is only one way to handle this — visit (don’t call) your local Social Security office with all of the facts written down and go over this with an examiner. Even there you may find either he/she will not be able to give you a solid answer, but it’s the place to begin. As an absolute last resort, there are attor-neys who specialize in Social Security claims that have been denied. You should know this but until you have gone through the other steps that I have outlined, in my opin-ion, it would not be productive to meet with an attorney. You should also know that in some circumstances the attorneys’ fees will be paid for by Social Security and others will come out of your settlement.

Greek Socialistswin budget vote
ATHENS, Greece — Greece’s governing Social-ists won a key budget vote in Parliament today, calling for deeper austerity measures in the crisis-hit country and promising to avoid default despite a soaring national debt.
Lawmakers voted 156-142 in favor of the 2011 budget, braving a third year of reces-sion to trim the deficit, through higher consumer taxes and cuts in health and defense spending.
Two opposition parliament members were absent.
The latest cuts are needed for the country to continue receiving loans from the $144 billion bailout fund cre-ated for Greece by European countries and the Interna-tional Monetary Fund.

The Department of Revenue reported Tuesday that the 11 South Mississippi casinos won $85.6 million in November, down $2.4 million from October and off $1.6 million from the same month in 2009.
For the 19 casinos on the Mississippi River that stretch from Natchez to Tunica, revenue was about $9.5 mil-
lion less than October at $94 million. In November 2009, the river casinos took in $98.2 million.
The Department of Revenue reports gaming revenue on a calendar year basis.
Gaming taxes are reported on the state’s fiscal year, which runs from July 1 to June 30.
For the first five months of the fiscal year, gaming taxes totaled $119.1 mil-lion, compared to $118.7 million in col-lections for the same period a year ago. Vicksburg casinos paid $737,684 in revenue and population-based taxes to the city, county and public school district in November, up from $701,486 a month ago.

for seasonal factors in the workplace. The number of unemployed increased by 1,500 over the month, while the employed total increased by 3,100 from October, the agency said. Nationally, unemployment stood at 9.3 percent, up slightly from a revised 9 percent in Octo-ber. The seasonally adjusted national rate is 9.8 percent.
Statewide figures reflected gains in the professional and business services, trade, transportation and utilities and leisure and hospital-ity categories, according to MDES.
Rankin County posted the lowest unemployment rate in the state, at 6.3 percent for a second straight month. Noxubee County posted the highest, at 19.8 percent, down from 19.2 percent a month ago.
Among area counties, Clai-borne County’s unemploy-ment rate held at 14.5 per-cent for the third month in a row. Rates in Sharkey and Issaquena shot up in Novem-ber, to 12.4 percent and 10 percent, respectively. Both were up 1.7 percent com-pared to October.
“MDOT doesn’t want to leave that money laying on the table,” committee member Don Brown said, “and if we’re going to move along with other states and look progressive in our public transportation, we need to be spending that money laying on that table or it’s going to go away.”
He said the position likely will connect transportation systems across the state to become a uniform system.
Mississippi Delta Trans-portation charter service and The Delta Area Rural Transit System are a couple
of agencies that have hired a mobility manager.
Bumpers said the person in the position will report to her, but will be stationed at the Jackson Union Sta-tion, which officials hope will become the hub for statewide public transportation.
The $45,000 salary includes benefits, and is only good for 12 months under this stimu-lus program.
“We’re not obligated after 12 months,” Bumpers said. “If this individual wants to continue with their posi-tion, they have to get out and make a way for them to get
out.”Bumpers said she has
begun interviews for the position.
In other business, the trans-portation committee heard an official presentation from accountants of Banks, Finley, White & Co., the firm hired by the City of Vicksburg to conduct audits for 2008 and 2009.
The official audits returned a favorable rating for NRoute and gave managerial sug-gestions for keeping records, which Bumpers said the agency has adopted.
The committee agreed to
use the same accounting firm to conduct its 2010 audits, which are due by March 30, however, not required by MDOT or the city. Funding for the audits, which will cost about $5,000, will come from available grants.
December’s ridership of 2,386 passengers with about a week left in the month is holding steady with November, which saw 2,748 passengers.
During the holidays, NRoute will be closed Friday through Monday and Jan. 1 to 3. New Year’s Eve hours are from 6 a.m. to 2 p.m.

Portable North Pole, a proj-ect launched by Montreal-based video web developer UgroupMedia, sends kids personalized videos from Santa — even those who deserve a lump of coal. Tell the site your kid hasn’t been so good, and the video Santa peers over his glasses and tells the child: “You’re on my naughty watch.”
Another site, TextSanta.net, expects to send out close to 100,000 texts this year.
T.J. Kirgin Jr., CEO of the 2-year-old texting operation and also leader of an adver-tising firm in St. Charles, Mo., said the idea is to be greener — not generating all those
paper letters — and to raise money for charity. From every $3.99 text, $1 is donated to the March of Dimes.
Kirgin said it’s a thrill for children not just to write to Santa, but to hear from him.
“One parent said (his son) was so excited that he got a text message from Santa that he actually peed his pants,” Kirgin said. The child then feared that Santa would be upset at him for not being a “big boy.” The parents had Santa send another text to tell him it was OK.
Sue Wangler, a grand-mother who lives in Mary-land Heights, Mo., has been using the service to have Santa send texts to her granddaughter and other friends for three years.
She said the messages are helpful for her granddaugh-
ter and a close friend, both 9, who have been wondering whether Santa’s real. “This text from Santa has pro-longed the belief system a little longer,” she said.
Gogii, a mobile application development firm in Marina del Rey, Calif., for which Olanoff plays Santa, has an irreverent take on children’s Christmas lists. Olanoff posts some requests on his blog at textingsantaclaus.com, along with some cheeky responses.
One texter asked for a pony. “Really?” Olanoff wrote on the blog (not back to the child). “Kids still ask for those? Ponies are so like 1993. Unicorns are the new hot. Unicorns with Rainbow T-Shirts in fact.”
The most faithful believers in Santa Claus, of course, are too young to type or text. But
hold them up to the monitor and they’ll see that Santa is on Facebook and Twitter, too.
One Twitter feed with 3,400 followers is put together by NORAD, the military orga-nization responsible for the aerospace and mari-time defense of the U.S. and Canada, years ago went online with its beloved Santa Tracker every Christmas Eve to let kids know when St. Nick is getting near them — and to teach a bit about geog-raphy and global culture.
Of course, not every effort to reach Santa is high-tech.
By Tuesday, Macy’s had collected 987,000 letters in the mailboxes set up in its stores. The department store is donating $1 for each letter — up to $1 million — to the Make-A-Wish Foundation.
Macy’s is collecting letters
in paper form but offers an online template for those who have forgotten how a letter looks.
Fairbanks, Alaska, resi-dent Laura Volmert says her daughters have different, but more traditional, approaches to communicating.
Seven-year-old Eleanor Adasiak trusts that with his magical powers, Santa will simply know what she wants.
Four-year-old Josie Ada-siak did write a letter, but she doesn’t know how to write anything beyond what Vol-mert calls “a collection of random letters on a page.”
Her request was sealed in an envelope with care — but it didn’t go into the mail. It was hidden away in the same undisclosed location where the tooth fairy deposits the Adasiak girls’ baby teeth.
tor, Kenny Fraiser, said he is pleased with the results of the program that has seen 35 residents adopted.
“We promote this during the holidays and get a good response,” said Fraiser. “Because of the response we’re hoping to push this into an ongoing, year-round thing.”
Volunteers visit and read, sing, play Bingo, watch movies or just talk with the residents.
“They love new faces,” said Fraiser. “It brings joy to them to have someone come in and share their love.”

Senate ratifies nuke pact, delivering win to ObamaWASHINGTON — The
Senate on Wednesday rati-fied an arms control treaty with Russia that reins in the nuclear weapons that could plunge the world into doomsday, giving President Barack Obama a major for-eign policy win in Congress’ waning hours.
Thirteen Republicans broke with their top two leaders and joined 56 Democrats and two independents in provid-ing the necessary two-thirds vote to approve the treaty. The vote was 71-26, with Sen. Ron Wyden, D-Ore., showing up just two days after cancer surgery.
Obama praised the strong bipartisan vote for a treaty he described as the most sig-nificant arms control pact in nearly two decades.
Congress OKs aidfor 9/11 victims
After a last-minute compro-mise, Congress passed legis-
lation Wednesday to provide up to $4.2 billion in new aid to survivors of the Septem-ber 2001 terrorism attack on the World Trade Center and
responders who became ill working in its ruins.
The House passed the bill on a 206-60 vote Wednesday about two hours after the Senate cleared it on a voice vote as lawmakers raced to wrap up their work before Christmas. The package pro-vides $1.5 billion to moni-tor the health of rescue and cleanup workers and treat ill-nesses related to ground zero. It also reopens a compensa-tion fund with $2.7 billion.
Defense bill approved,sent to Obama
Congress gave final approval Wednesday to legislation that authorizes the Pentagon to
spend nearly $160 billion on the wars in Iraq and Afghani-stan this budget year without major restrictions on the con-duct of operations.
The bill passed the House and Senate on voice votes after Democrats agreed to strip several provisions, including one that would have allowed gays to serve openly in the military.
The provision that would have overturned the military’s “don’t ask, don’t tell” policy was approved as a stand alone bill and President Barack Obama signed it Wednesday.
The House, which approved the bill last Friday, had to con-sider it again as the Senate cut out a provision on pay-ments to World War II claims to residents and survivors in Guam.
Court refuses to overturn vote resultsJUNEAU, Alaska — The
Alaska Supreme Court deliv-ered another stinging set-back to Republican Joe Miller, refusing to overturn election results that favored his GOP rival, Lisa Murkowski, in the state’s U.S. Senate race.
The high court on Wednes-day upheld a lower court’s ruling dismissing Miller’s claims of impropriety in the state’s handling of the election and ballots for Murkowski, who waged a longshot write-in campaign after losing her
primary to Miller. It found “no remaining issues raised by Miller that prevent this elec-tion from being certified.”
Emanuel can runfor Chicago mayor
CHICAGO — Former White House chief of staff Rahm Emanuel cleared an impor-tant hurdle in his bid to be Chicago mayor early today
when a hearing officer rec-ommended his name appear on the February ballot, even though Emanuel spent much of the last two years living in Washington working for Pres-ident Barack Obama.
The ruling, which still needs final approval from the Chi-cago Board of Election Com-missioners, is a political win for Emanuel because it could help him silence critics who have persistently argued he isn’t a Chicago resident.
N. Koreathreatensnuclear warif attacked
POCHEON, South Korea (AP) — North and South Korea beat the drums of war today, with each threatening the other with immediate retalia-tion if attacked.
Seoul has staged days of mili-tary drills in a show of force meant to deter North Korea, including live-fire exercises earlier this week on a front-line island shelled by the North last month. Angered by the exer-cises, North Korea threatened Thursday it would launch a “sacred” nuclear war if Seoul hit it and warned that even the smallest intrusion on its terri-tory would bring a devastating response.
The two sides are still techni-cally at war because their 1950-53 conflict ended in a truce — not a peace treaty — and a U.S. governor who recently made an unofficial diplomatic mis-sion to the North has said the situation on the peninsula is a “tinderbox” and the worst he had ever seen it.\ Still, the latest rhetoric seemed likely to be just that, words aimed at stirring pride at home and keeping the rival at bay.
Defense chief Kim Yong Chun said North Korea is “fully pre-pared to launch a sacred war” and would use its nuclear capabilities.
Reports: Blastsat Swiss, Chileembassy in Rome
ROME (AP) — A pair of package bombs exploded at the Swiss and Chilean embas-sies in Rome today, injuring the two people who opened them, police and news reports said. No one claimed respon-sibility but authorities dis-counted domestic anarchists or protesters.
Witnesses outside the Chil-ean embassy said they heard a blast shortly after 3 p.m., send-ing police to the scene. The ANSA news agency said the person who opened the pack-age was wounded.
Three hours earlier, a pack-age bomb exploded inside an office in the Swiss Embassy, seriously wounding the staffer who opened it.

SidELinESRidley suspendedfor the Cotton BowlBATON ROUGE, La. (AP)
LSU running back Ste-van Ridley may be forced to miss the Cotton Bowl against Texas A&M be-cause of an academic vio-lation.
Coach Les Miles, who discussed Ridley’s status after the Tigers complet-ed pre-Christmas work-outs on Wednesday, said LSU is appealing to the NCAA in hopes that Rid-ley, who is currently ineli-gible, can be reinstated before LSU (10-2) meets the Aggies (9-3) in Cow-boys Stadium on Jan. 7.
“This was a one-time incident,” said Miles, who declined to get into spe-cifics. “The school has been compliant. Ridley has been compliant. We are appealing it. We are making our case.”
RAYMOND — In July and August, Todd Montgomery heard the hype.
This was the year his Central Hinds team was going to be great. With 11 seniors returning — most of them two- and three-year starters — how could it not?
In September and October, he started hearing the buzz as the Cougars began living up to their potential. A single regular-season loss to the defending state champion was their only misstep, and most of the other games were blowouts in their favor.
In November, there was a brief silence following a disap-pointing first-round play-off loss to eventual MAIS Class AA champion River Oaks, and then a round of “attaboys.”
Central Hinds won 10 regular-season games for the first time in school history. The only negative marks on its 10-2 record were losses to Brookhaven Acad-emy and River Oaks — two of the four Class AA semifinalists.
For leading the Cougars to their best season in several years, Montgomery earned The Vicks-burg Post’s Coach of the Year award. Although Montgomery gets the honor, he gave much of the credit for a successful season to his assistant coaches and senior-laden roster.
“It makes it a lot easier when you have a group of seniors like this. It’s hard to describe the closeness of the 2010 class. They grew up playing foot-ball and knowing how to win,” Mont-gomery said. “When you’ve got a group of kids that work like they do in practice and in the weight room, it makes a coach look good.”
The 2010 season was the first of Mont-gomery’s second stint as head coach. He served in that capacity in 2006 and
2007, leading Central Hinds to a 16-9 record and two playoff appearances before stepping aside to focus on his duties as baseball coach. He was also
an assistant in 2004-05, and 2008-09.Bobby Allen, who took over as head

Trevor Gaskins scored 21 points as Ole Miss beat Texas State 83-72 in the first round of the Cancun Governor’s Cup on Wednesday for the Rebels’ fifth straight win.
Chris Warren added 18 points for Ole Miss (8-2), shooting 3 of 13 from the field and 12 of 12 from the free-throw line.
The Rebels hit 25-of-29 from the line (86.2 percent), includ-ing 16 of 18 in the second half and 10 of 10 in the final 3:29, when they led 71-64.
The Bobcats (2-8) hit 2-of-5 foul shots after the break.
Ole Miss jumped out to a 12-0 lead, but Texas State tied the score seven times before a 6-0 spurt gave the Rebels a 40-35 halftime lead.
Ole Miss led by as many as 13 in the second half. Ter-rance Henry finished with 13 points and Reginald Buckner had 13 rebounds.
Eddie Rios and Cameron Johnson scored 16 points apiece for the Bobcats, who have lost seven in a row.

Bowl overload is a product of ESPN’s biddingAre there too many bowls?
Depends on whom you ask.Coaches would answer no,
because they get another game, more practice time and a chance to see what the younger players can do.
Fans are glad for the extra football, as it definitely beats visiting with relatives you can’t stand seeing even once a year. Even if some schools end up losing money by going to a bowl.
But are they good match-ups? Who was clamoring for Troy vs. Ohio in a mostly empty Superdome?
If you ask ESPN, they’d probably say, the more, the merrier. The Worldwide Leader would be reduced to show ice skating, no-limit poker tournaments and curl-ing if not for all of the 35 bowls, 31 of which are shown on its networks.
There are so many that cities are having to double and triple up on these games.
New Orleans has two bowl games, one well-attended and historic (the Sugar Bowl), the other (Lets-find-another-sponsor New Orleans Bowl) not so much. The cameras at last year’s New Orleans Bowl didn’t pan to the upper deck of the Superdome and for good reason, since it was empty.
Dallas has three bowl games, two of which are of dubious value. Bad things usually come in threes. So do zingers. There’s the Cotton Bowl you know. The Armed Forces Bowl you might. The
one you night not know about, the Ticketcity Bowl, will be new this year and will be played in the Cotton Bowl.
Birmingham, which has a decaying, rusted relic of an outdoor stadium older than Methusaleh’s mother, has a bowl game and really shouldn’t be after failing in the bowl game business not once, but thrice with the Dixie Bowl, the All-American Bowl and the Vulcan Bowl (named after the Roman god of metalworking, not Spock’s home planet). In case you’re not aware, the outdoors weather usually isn’t the best in the Magic City when the Pizza/Compass Bank/Whatever-it’s-called Bowl is played. Crowds likely will be sparser than Republicans at a Moveon.org rally.
Then there are bowl games played at baseball stadiums, which is kind of ironic con-sidering that baseball teams once had to play nearly
exclusively in featureless multipurpose hockey pucks. Southern Miss and Louisville played in the Beef Oh-Don’t-Forget-the-Apostrophes Bra-dy’s Bowl at Tropicana Field, a mall masquerading as an indoor baseball stadium. San Francisco has a bowl game at AT&T Park and the name of it has changed three times. Call that one the Confusion Bowl. The Yankees are host-ing a bowl game, the Pin-stripe Bowl, and that makes as much sense as a sauer-kraut and peanut butter sandwich since the weather the day before New Year’s Eve in New York is usu-ally cold, wet and miser-able. Good for football, bad for fans. The last time a bowl game was played in New York, the Gotham Bowl in 1962, it was played in front of an optimistic estimate of 6,166 fans. Doesn’t anyone read their history?
Despite the overload, there
are even some bowl games in the on-deck circle wait-ing for one of the 35 others to fail. Orlando’s proposed Cure Bowl, which would benefit the Susan G. Komen Founda-tion, sounds like a goth fan-tasy. Cure frontman Robert Smith and his mopey band could play halftime. I guess “Friday, I’m in a bowl” would work as replacement lyrics for “Friday, I’m in Love.” Maybe Siouxsie and the Ban-shees could play a set too.
It’s a shame that we can’t bring back such classics as the Bacardi Bowl (Southern Miss played in the final one in Cuba in 1946), the Cigar Bowl, the Oil Bowl, the Raisin Bowl and the Salad Bowl.
Now that would be must-see TV.

Martin powers Boise State past Utah in MAACO Bowl
LAS VEGAS — Doug Martin shook Boise State out of its brief postseason funk with an 84-yard touchdown run in the second quar-ter, and the 10th-ranked Bron-cos dominated the rest of the way Wednesday night to beat No. 20 Utah 26-3 in the MAACO Bowl. Boise State had turned the ball over three times and was trailing 3-0 when Martin went up the middle and outran Utah defenders down the left side to give the Broncos a much-needed spark. From there, Boise State’s defense shut the Utes out and Kellen Moore threw two touchdown passes as the Broncos cruised to an easy win.

GAINESVILLE, Fla. — After losing Al Golden to Miami, Temple turned to the Sunshine State to find his replacement. The Owls hired Florida offensive coordinator Steve Addazio to replace Golden, accord-ing to a person familiar with the situation. The person spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity Wednesday because Temple has not publicly announced the hiring.

coach in 2008-09, resigned to focus on his other job as principal last spring. Players asked for Montgom-ery to be moved back into the head coaching job, and he was.
“I credit them for me getting the job back,” Montgomery said. “We’re real tight. That’s who they said we need to be the leader of our program.”
Montgomery fostered a winning atmosphere, but he was also in the right place at the right time. The large group of seniors, who had been in the trenches together since junior high and started alongside each other in varsity games the past three seasons, was ready to blossom.
Led by middle linebacker Lee Douglas (104 tackles) and tailback Hunter Farrior (1,246 rushing yards
and 18 touchdowns), the Cougars steamrolled most opponents. They averaged 34 points per game and allowed just 17. Eight of their 12 opponents were held to 14 points or less.
Along the way, Central Hinds went from being mentioned as a playoff-caliber team to one with a legitimate chance at the Class AA championship.
“Words can’t really describe it,” Montgomery said of the excitement surrounding his program. “Just the phone calls and the letters you’re getting from alumni and parents, and people you don’t even know is amazing. I think this year we got the name of Central Hinds foot-ball out in the MAIS, and that we’re going to be competitive as long as I’m here.”

The Bulldogs (7-4) held a 40-39 lead at halftime, but Washington State used a 14-0 run early in the second half to take a 57-45 lead and pull away for good. Kodi Augustus led Mississippi State with 19 points, and Brian Bryant had 14. Leading scorer Ravern Johnson, who was averaging 22.4 points, was held to three on 1-of-10 shooting.
USM 64, ETSU 60 Gary Flowers had 19 points and
10 rebounds and Southern Miss defeated East Tennessee State in the Cancun Governor’s Cup.
Southern Miss (8-1) blew an 18-point lead with 15:02 remain-ing and made 6 of 7 free throws in the final 45 seconds to preserve the win.
ETSU pulled to within 62-60 on a 3-pointer by Micah Williams with 6 seconds remaining, but Angelo Johnson hit two free throws after being fouled on the ensuing inbounds pass to seal the win.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) — It might not be too important to you, but with all the commotion, minute mistakes can be made. Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) — Big things aren’t likely to disturb those around you, but little oversights might. Take extra care to make sure you lock your car door and wipe your feet before en-tering someone’s house.Pisces (Feb. 20-March 20) — Be attentive when someone asks you to do something special, especially if it calls for you to get other people to help. Aries (March 21-April 19) — When doing some last-minute shopping, it might be best to stay away from the bargain coun-ters, and avoid getting rejects. Make careful selections that’ll last.Taurus (April 20-May 20) — This can be an extremely produc-tive day if you can keep kibitzers from peering over your shoul-der, even if they are only trying to help. Gemini (May 21-June 20) — Guard what you say when you open your mouth. There’s a chance you could be so excited about your knowledge of someone else’s gift that you could spoil the surprise.Cancer (June 21-July 22) — Financial trends could be a bit mercurial, in that you might receive a nice bonus only to spend it all on extra gifts or things you want but don’t need. Keep close tabs on how much you’re spending.Leo (July 23-Aug. 22) — In all of your excitement about what you plan to do for someone, don’t let any secrets slip out and ruin the fun. Keep mum, no matter how great the temptation.Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) — In your desire to impress others, you might be tempted to reveal a surprise that you have the scoop on, but you would kick yourself if you spoiled it for anoth-er. Loose lips sink ships.Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) — An enthusiastic friend might want to include you in on a present s/he would like to give another, because it is too costly for one person to give — do so only if it fits into your budget.Scorpio (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) — Avoid seeking help from a person who may mean well but is rarely able to contribute anything of substance, especially regarding urgent matters. Sagittarius (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) — Proper timing could make something far better than leaving the effects up to chance. If you expose something prematurely, it could spoil the surprise and/or diminish its joy.
Dr. Wallace: I’ve been dating Brianna for over a year. We’re both in the honors society and active in the youth group at our church. Her parents know me well and really like me and trust me. My parents feel the same way about Brianna.
Brianna’s parents have set an 11:30 p.m. curfew for weekend dates. We have no problem with that. When I first started dating Brianna, her father gave me a lecture about honoring her cur-few and not bringing her home one second late. I said I under-stood, and for 13 months she got home before 11:30.
But last Saturday, we went to a movie that ran longer than we expected.
Rather than leave before it ended, we decided to stay. Because of that, I got Brianna home 20 minutes late. Brianna called her mom to say that we would be a few minutes late, so her parents wouldn’t be worried.
Now I find out that Brianna has been grounded for two weeks and her curfew has been moved up to 11 p.m. for the next six months. I think this is outrageous. We are both responsible teens. Her father told her if she complained, she would be on re-striction for a month. I feel like her parents overreacted. What do you think? — Luke, Elizabeth City, N.C.
Luke: I guess you found out that Brianna’s father is a man of his word. You were warned and didn’t heed the warning. Quit complaining! Allow Brianna to serve her punishment without your comments that it is “outrageous.” Be thankful that her fa-ther did not make her end the relationship you now still have with Brianna.
Chances are good that this will be the last time she arrives home after curfew.
Dr. Wallace: What do you feel is most important in determin-ing if a person is mature? When I ask for something and my par-ents say no, they always add, “You’re not mature enough yet.”
Maybe if I knew what was most important about being ma-ture, I could work on it, then be able to do a couple of things I want to do. I forgot to tell you that I’m 14 years old. — Josh, Lake Charles, La.
Josh: When forced to make a decision, a mature individual al-ways makes the best possible choice. Some teens are, indeed, mature at 14. Some 50-year-old adults still lack maturity and may never find it.

Vegetarians, vegansmull meaty issues
Dear Abby: I am writing about the letter from “Turkey Eater in Texas” (Nov. 12), who resented having a vegan Thanksgiving to accommodate two family members. I think your answer missed what being a gracious host is about. The entire meal shouldn’t have to consist of vegan items. However, it wouldn’t be a big deal to serve a vegan main dish and have those individ-uals also bring their favorite items. Making them bring a complete meal excludes them from a family gathering, and what fun is that?
After your column ran, my father called to tell me that hol-iday dinners would no longer accommodate my daughter’s celiac disease. She’s 9 and struggles with being “dif-ferent.” When she ingests gluten, she has cramps and vomiting, loses weight and risks significant long-term consequences.
Next year, we will host the holiday dinners. Our extended family can join us — or not. The bottom line is that if you exclude family (for being vegan or having celiac dis-ease), you’ve done the oppo-site of what holidays are about. — Kaye in Alabama
Dear Kaye: That’s true. What bothered me about the letter from “Turkey Eater” was the idea that his brother expected him to cater the entire Thanksgiving dinner to his nieces’ preference to eat vegan. If the writer had said he had been asked to ensure there were dishes that would not inflame (literally) his nieces’ serious medical con-dition, I would have answered differently.
What has surprised me about the comments I have received from readers about that letter has been the amount of prej-udice and anger expressed against vegetarians by more than a few. But read on for some responses from vegans:
Dear Abby: I am a vegan in a meat and potatoes family. For 15 years I have spent every holiday and family gathering listening to them degrade my food choices and try to “con-vert” me back to my “senses.” I have never expected them to cook for me. I always pack my own foods since they are unwilling to branch out and try new foods. When I have brought a dish, they all loved it, as long as they didn’t know it was vegan and that I had prepared it.
I find many people are resentful if we host a dinner party with only vegan food. They expect us to accommo-date them by cooking meat, but feel we should fend for ourselves at a function they hold. I encourage people to please get over the stigma of vegan/vegetarian and sample something new once in a while. If I can endure every family gathering taking place at a steakhouse, I don’t think it’s unreasonable to have one night when they experi-ence how tasty food without meat in it can be. — Rachel in Seattle
Dear Abby: I am 31 and have been a vegetarian my entire life. I come from a meat-loving family and have never insisted they change an entire meal to accommodate my eating habits. Instead, I take food I know I will eat and share it with everyone else. “Turkey Eater’s” vegan relatives should realize they’re in the minority. If they each brought a vegan-friendly dish or two, they’d have three to six things to choose from — and that’s plenty. — Eating Well in New Mexico
Dear Abby: I chose vegan-ism for many reasons, none of which is to be a pain in the keister — either by lecturing/scolding others, or by having high-maintenance expec-tations. I feel it’s important to be flexible, especially at get-togethers. What I value most about holidays is shar-ing a meal with people I love. If I want a completely vegan Thanksgiving, it should be one that I host and prepare.
To expect that of nonvegetar-ians is not only unreasonable, but also difficult, since many people are inexperienced in how to cook vegan.
My family Thanksgiving has an array of omnivores, vegetarians and vegans. Dad loves to cook and makes sure there’s something for every-one. I help bake pies, others bring a vegan dish and every-one is content. Sometimes the vegetarian dishes are so deli-cious, the omnivores salivate.
Mutual respect is of utmost importance. Being militant or demanding can bring a nega-tive perspective to vegetari-anism. If we want others to empathize with us, we need to do the same. — Thankful Vegan in Kansas City

his daughter said. He was 89. Nancy Foy said her father worked as an actor before landing the job as the announcer and narrator on “The Lone Ranger” radio show in 1948. The show’s live lead-in introduced its masked cowboy hero and his trusted horse with the line: “A fiery horse with the speed of light, a cloud of dust and a hearty ‘Hi-Yo Silver!’ ... The Lone Ranger!” Foy’s dramatic introduction and narration, per-
formed in a powerful baritone, were so good it “made many people forget there were others before him,” said radio historian Jim Harmon, who called him “perhaps the great-est announcer-narrator in the history of radio drama. “He pro-nounced words like no one else ever had — ‘SIL-ver,’ ’hiss-TOR-ee.’

That’s Kate Middleton? Critics slam coinBritain’s Royal Mint has released a commemorative coin fea-
turing supposedly lifelike portraits of Prince William and his bride-to-be — but critics say Kate Middleton has a right to be horrified.
Images of the couple on the memento bear little resemblance to either the prince or his 28-year-old betrothed. Middleton ap-pears plump in the face and lips and has bags under her eyes. Some critics claim William looks like Al Gore.
Available in silver or gold, the 5-pound ($7.70) coin marks the April 29 wedding of the second-in-line to the British throne.
Ingrid Seward of Majesty magazine told Britain’s Sky News to-day it was “ridiculous” that the images were so poor. But Dickie Arbiter, a former royal spokesman, said it’s often difficult to pro-duce accurate images on a coin.

MTV programming vice president Chris Linn said viewers are “curious about his life away from the shore, and we look forward to explor-ing new possibilities around that.”
The second season of “Jersey Shore” resumes Jan. 6. DelVecchio is so far the only cast member to have a spin-off.

nearly $4,000 worth of pizzas from an Amherst, Mass., pizza parlor but never picked them up has agreed to hand over the dough.
A lawyer for the New Jersey man says his client is a “decent enough” guy with no criminal record who felt bad about the prank. Attorney Sean Cleary did not reveal his client’s name and did not say how much he’ll repay.
Workers at Antonio’s stayed until 5:30 a.m. on Nov. 20 making 178 large pizzas after the man ordered the pies shortly after a Dylan concert at the nearby University of Massachusetts.
Employees assumed he was ordering for Dylan’s crew.

Woman’s high cholesterol good cause for concern
Dear Dr. Gott: I am a 71-year-old female in good health. I take 40 milligrams of diltiazem, and my blood pres-sure is under good control. A recent blood test revealed my cholesterol to be 286, my HDL 82, LDL 188 and triglycerides 81. My doctor prescribed 40 milligrams of lovastatin, but I would prefer not to take this medication.
My total cholesterol has been 200 or higher since I was 40, and my HDL has been over 80. May I have your opinion?
Dear Reader: High-cho-lesterol levels in the blood are considered to be a major risk factor in the develop-ment of coronary-artery dis-ease, heart attack and stroke. When cholesterol accumu-lates in the walls of the arter-ies and combines with cel-lular debris, plaque forms, impairing the flow of blood. Eventually, clots might form, the arteries become blocked, and problems occur.
There are two primary types of cholesterol — good and bad. The good is known as the HDL (high-density lipo-proteins), and the bad is LDL (low-density lipoproteins). According to the American Heart Association, total cho-lesterol of under 200 is desir-able and puts a person at a substantially lower risk for heart disease.
Levels between 200 and 239 are borderline, signifying a person has twice the risk than someone below 200. HDL levels for men lower than 40 and 50 for women signify a major risk factor for heart disease. Levels of 60 and higher are extremely good, with lower probability of heart disease. LDL readings lower than 100 are optimal.
Triglyceride levels vary according to age and gender. Levels under 150 are consid-ered to be normal. Levels beyond that are borderline to high.
While your total choles-
terol is higher than the rec-ommended figure, your HDL is exceptionally good. Your LDL puts you in a borderline-high bracket.
Because extenuating fac-tors such as family history come into play, your primary-care physician or cardiologist should make the decision as to the appropriate level for optimal health.
If diet is to blame, this is relatively simple to modify. Cut out ice cream, butter and other high-fat foods.
Reduce your consumption of cheese, eggs and whole milk.
Stay away from tropical oils in cookies and pastries. If inactivity is to blame, speak with your physician about a program of exercise.
If heredity comes into play, then you may be doing all you can without outside assis-tance. A number of over-the-counter cholesterol-reduc-ing products are available. Ask whether a trial might be appropriate.
If your physician has given you a statin drug to inhibit your liver’s natural produc-tion of cholesterol and you are opposed, make another appointment to discuss the matter.
I don’t blame you for expressing concern. There has been a lot of controversy surrounding the side effects of statin drugs.
Get answers, and be guided by what he or she says. Ulti-mately, the decision should be yours.

Real worldto collidewith heroesand villains
PHILADELPHIA (AP) — The real world is intruding in a real way for the heroes — and villains — of the Marvel universe.
The publisher — whose char-acters range from the wall-crawler Spider-Man to mutant outcasts X-Men — said Tues-day that the fear, uncertainty and overarching anxiety that has gripped today’s world will play havoc with its fic-tional heroes next spring as it embarks on “Fear Itself,” a seven-issue limited series that will reach across numerous titles and leave its characters scarred but smarter.
The story line starts in March with a one-shot prologue penned by Ed Brubaker.
The prologue, said Marvel executive editor Tom Brevoort, will involve Captain America, Namor and the Invaders “and a mission in World War II that sets the stage for what’s to come in the main ‘Fear Itself’ book.”
From there, the seven issue miniseries will launch in April, written by Matt Fraction and drawn by Stuart Immonen and will, Brevoort said “be, in terms of its size and scope across the Marvel Universe” analogous to the multi-issue, cross-title epic “Secret Inva-sion” that focused on the subtle, behind-the-scenes invasion of Earth by shape-shifting Skrulls.
Marvel has never shied away from cataclysmic story events. In “Civil War,” the company put its heroes on the front lines of personal civil liberties and freedoms, a story that ulti-mately ended with the death of Captain America.
