| Researchers enhance original forestry decision-making software | |
 | Mississippi State researchers have developed an updated version of a widely used forestry decision-making tool, improving accessibility and usability while maintaining its analytical strength. Originally created in 1999 by a team of scientists in the university's Forest and Wildlife Research Center, the Forest Valuation and Investment Analysis software program, known as FORVAL, helps foresters and other land managers quantify and evaluate complex management decisions. Steve Bullard, CFR associate dean and FWRC associate director, who helped create the program, led the development of FORVAL-XL, the new version built specifically for Microsoft Excel. "This is the most user-friendly version yet," Bullard said. |

Thomas Straka, professor emeritus at Clemson University, and Robert Grala, MSU's George L. Switzer Professor of Forestry, also played key roles in the project. |
| Good crops start with good early decisions | |
| Although farm profits often come down to what the weather and markets do in a year, the decisions farmers make from the beginning affect farmers' bottom lines in many important ways. Growers use the winter months after harvest and before spring planting to make decisions for their next crops. Justin Calhoun, soybean specialist with the Mississippi State University Extension Service, spoke to growers during that time about some ways to make the best decisions. For years now, U.S. companies have spent billions of dollars developing seeds with traits designed to handle different soil conditions, insect and disease threats and growing-season conditions, among other factors. Data on how the seeds performed in field trials, coupled with yield information, is presented so farmers can match their on-farm needs with available seed options. The Mississippi Agricultural and Forestry Experiment Station (MAFES) is heavily involved in these trials. |
| Brevity meets beauty in MSU poet's 'A Clear Eye' | |
 | Mississippi State University English Professor Robert West explores nature and human experience in "A Clear Eye," a new collection of 59 poems published by Broadstone Books. The 2026 collection has drawn early praise for its concise style and emotional depth. Poet Michael McFee, professor emeritus at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, called the book "a brilliant, heartfelt and very satisfying collection," noting its "evocative brevity and inventive lines." Knoxville, Tennessee, Poet Laureate Linda Parsons described it as "the essence of the essence," highlighting its subtle humor and wordplay. West, head of MSU's Department of Classical and Modern Languages and Literatures, has built a career spanning poetry, scholarship and editorial leadership. |
| Strategic, unified vision transforms Carthage | |
| When the Leake County Board of Supervisors set their sights on rejuvenating downtown Carthage, they initiated significant positive changes in a short time. Carthage is a designated Mississippi Main Street community of about 5,000 people, with the overall Leake County population at about 22,000. In 2020, many downtown storefronts were empty, employment opportunities were few, and the economic outlook in the area was dim. But supervisors, several of whom were newly elected, were determined to reduce local brain drain, make the community better, and increase the jobs available to young people. "The supervisors started the ball rolling, and the folks affiliated with the Mississippi Main Street Association were also pushing the needle at the same time," says Dr. Rachael Carter, an economist and community development specialist with the Mississippi State University Extension Service Center for Government and Community Development. At the request of the Mississippi Development Authority, Extension helped gather data and develop attainable plans to address local challenges through the statewide Wake Up Downtown program. |
| County engineer: To be or not to be? | |
| Efforts to hire an in-house county engineer have stretched on with little progress and no candidates, despite supervisors first setting aside funding for the position in October 2024. Discussions about bringing engineering services in-house resurfaced during a March 2 board meeting when District 4 Supervisor Pattie Little said she has reached out to several engineering firms to drum up interest, though none have shown an appetite for the position's approved $85,000 salary. Meanwhile the county pays independent contractor Clyde Pritchard at least double, and some years nearly 10 times, that amount for engineering services. "I've talked to some engineering folks, and ... they've said that they've seen the job description, but the salary out there is nothing anybody is going to look at," Little said during the meeting. "... I think the way our county is growing ... we need somebody that can assist our road manager when he's building a road, doing any of that stuff ... because I can't see our county not having anyone (with) the way we grow." |
| County road projects finally assigned funding | |
| A summer slate of road projects, mostly in District 2, moved forward Friday as supervisors worked to close a multimillion-dollar funding gap. The board convened to allocate money for projects already underway that were still lacking full funding, a shortfall totaling about $2.3 million total. Among those projects, one road is in District 1, where construction has already begun; one project is shared between Districts 2 and 5; and 12 additional roads are in District 2, where notices to proceed were issued before a funding source was identified. The board agreed to pay $2 million of the gap from internet use tax revenue and cover the rest from leftover road bond money. The projects include Ballard, Clifford and Jordan lanes totaling about $701,000; Rockhill Road East totaling about $535,600; and a larger road improvement package including Rice Road, Bethesda Road, Willie Road, Camps Airport Road north and south, Rockhill Road West and Sand Creek Road and Paradise Lane, totaling about $727,200. |
| Surcharges Are Suddenly Everywhere -- And Grumpy Americans Are Paying Up | |
 | An extra 3% for paying with a credit card. A 5% involuntary contribution to a restaurant's employee wellness fund. $25 a month in addition to rent for trash collection. Consumers already weary of rising inflation are now contending with a new crop of costs that are hidden in plain sight. New fees or surcharges are popping up everywhere as companies search for ways to recoup their own rising costs while blaming outside pressures. In recent weeks, package-delivery companies and airlines have announced new or higher fees, citing increasing fuel prices. Economists expect more to follow unless oil prices rapidly fall. Surcharges increase pressure on consumers, whose spending drives the economy. On Friday, the University of Michigan's survey of consumers reported its lowest-ever sentiment reading, beating out the 2008 recession and the pandemic, pointing to Americans' increasing concerns over rising prices. Yet there is a simple reason why companies like these types of fees, which often don't show up until a customer is already checking out: They work. |
| FEMA approves individual assistance for 36 Mississippi counties impacted by winter storm | |
| Residents and business owners in 36 counties impacted by Mississippi's worst winter weather event in over three decades can now apply for individual assistance through the Federal Emergency Management Agency. Gov. Tate Reeves announced Saturday that the state's request for individual assistance through FEMA has been approved by President Donald Trump after Winter Storm Fern ripped through the state Jan. 23-27. The storm knocked down thousands of trees and power poles, left approximately 180,000 customers without power at its peak, and killed 29. Those included in the now-approved request for individual assistance are Adams, Alcorn, Attala, Bolivar, Calhoun, Carroll, Claiborne, Coahoma, DeSoto, Grenada, Holmes, Humphreys, Issaquena, Jefferson, Lafayette, Lee, Tallahatchie, Tate, Tippah, Tishomingo, Tunica, Union, Warren, Washington, Yalobusha, and Yazoo counties, as well as the Mississippi Band of Choctaw Indians. |
| Mississippi reveals its full history for America's anniversary year, a contrast to federal efforts | |
 | The glass panels of the Lynching Victims Monolith are simple, etched with the names of more than 600 victims of documented racial killings in Mississippi, along with the attackers' motives. One man, Malcolm Wright, was beaten to death in front of his family in 1949. His offense? "Hogging the road." Further research revealed that his mule-drawn wagon was, to his killers, moving too slowly. The panels are among thousands of exhibits and artifacts inside the Mississippi Civil Rights Museum and the adjoining Museum of Mississippi History. Called the Two Mississippi Museums, the massive complex in sight of the state Capitol is a central part of the state's America 250 celebration. Mississippi's warts-and-all approach to reflecting its history as part of the state's official commemoration of the nation's 250th anniversary is a stark contrast with what has taken place at the national level since President Donald Trump returned to the White House in January 2025. |
| U.S. Sen. Roger Wicker discusses Iran conflict, defense spending during Coast visit | |
 | U.S. Senator Roger Wicker said the main objective of the U.S. joint military operation in Iran has not changed six weeks after it began: keeping Iran from building a nuclear weapon. "Iran should never have a nuclear weapon; they were very close and the leadership there is just primitive enough and crazy enough to actually use it," Wicker said. "It is a real threat if they get a nuclear weapon." Wicker said Iran needs to lose the capability of building a nuclear bomb and end what he called its terrorist activities worldwide. "They're the reasons why the Houthis and Hamas are killing innocent civilians all around the world, and they need to stop that," he said. "Those are two conditions that until we get those taken care of, we're not exactly mission accomplished." The war in Iran has driven up the price of oil. Wicker said the pain at the pump is temporary and part of a larger security fight. |
| 'It's all we have to run on': GOP looks to tout tax cuts as war overtakes Hill agenda | |
 | Republicans return to Washington this week eager to promote the pocketbook benefits of their nine-month-old megabill ahead of Tax Day. But the fallout from the war in the Middle East threatens to complicate that election-year message. Explaining away rising gas prices and spiking inflation is not where GOP lawmakers wanted to be seven months before the midterms, but that is the challenge they face as a cease fire with Iran proves tenuous and there is scant evidence global energy flows will return to normal anytime soon. That's not to mention the host of internal policy battles further distracting GOP lawmakers as they return from a two-week recess. Still, they are seeking to rally this around the glue that has held their fractious coalition together -- tax cuts -- with Trump going on the road this week to tout the "big, beautiful bill" and House Republicans planning a Wednesday all-member news conference, according to two people granted anonymity to discuss the plans ahead of an announcement. |
| White House Fields Warnings About Iran War's Economic Hit | |
| One big nonmilitary question has loomed over President Trump's attacks and now cease-fire in Iran: Would the U.S. economy take a hit from a prolonged war? Since earlier this year, the president and advisers have been privately hearing from cabinet officials, political allies and corporate leaders about what the war could do to Wall Street and Main Street if it didn't conclude within a tight time frame. Many cautioned against -- or drew up scenarios for -- a more-extended fight. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent spoke with Trump about the market reaction and the U.S. economic trajectory as it related to the length of the war, according to people familiar with the matter. Bessent and the president discussed various measures the Treasury could take if the war went on for eight to 12 weeks and how the U.S. could be vulnerable to a potential rise in gasoline prices, these people said. Bessent told the president that he believed Asia and Europe would be the areas most vulnerable to rising energy prices from the war. |
| U.S. begins blockade in Strait of Hormuz; Trump warns Iran 'attack ships' to stay away | |
| The U.S. on Monday said it began blocking ships from entering or exiting Iranian ports in the Strait of Hormuz, attempting to ratchet up pressure on Iran to reopen the key oil route after peace negotiations collapsed. As the 10 a.m. ET deadline passed for the blockade to take effect, President Donald Trump warned Iran's "fast attack ships" not to come near the U.S. forces enforcing the closure. "If any of these ships come anywhere close to our BLOCKADE, they will be immediately ELIMINATED, using the same system of kill that we use against the drug dealers on boats at Sea," Trump wrote on Truth Social. "It is quick and brutal." A White House official confirmed to CNBC that the blockade has taken effect. U.S. negotiators, including Vice President JD Vance, flew to Islamabad for weekend peace talks with Iran, raising hopes that a deal to end the war was at hand. But Vance said early Sunday that the U.S. delegation would return home without a deal. After 21 hours of of negotiations, Iran still refused to agree not to seek or develop a nuclear weapon, Vance said. |
| Pope Leo XIV pushes back on Trump over Iran war, citing Gospel | |
| U.S.-born Pope Leo XIV pushed back Monday on President Donald Trump's broadside against him over the U.S.-Israel war in Iran, telling reporters that the Vatican's appeals for peace and reconciliation are rooted in the Gospel, and that he doesn't fear the Trump administration. "To put my message on the same plane as what the president has attempted to do here, I think is not understanding what the message of the Gospel is," Leo told The Associated Press aboard the papal plane en route to Algeria. "And I'm sorry to hear that but I will continue on what I believe is the mission of the church in the world today." History's first U.S.-born pope stressed that he was not making a direct attack against Trump or anyone else with his general appeal for peace and criticisms of the "delusion of omnipotence" that is fueling the Iran war and other conflicts around the world. |
| After Charlie Kirk's Death, a Fight for the Youth Vote | |
 | In what will be the first election cycle since Mr. Kirk's assassination last September, and with President Trump's support among young voters rapidly eroding, the fight for the country's youth pits three forces against one another. Turning Point USA remains formidable but is struggling to maintain its influence; Nicholas J. Fuentes, the 27-year-old white nationalist, is urging his followers to either stay home in November or vote for Democrats, in hopes that the Mr. Trump's MAGA coalition will collapse and potentially give way to a more extremist Republican Party; and National Ground Game is seeking to replicate Turning Point on college campuses but has its work cut out for it. Regardless of the outcome in November, the greater electoral test will likely be in 2028, a presidential campaign year, when turnout tends to be higher and outcomes can be decided by a superior field organization. By then, Democratic outfits like National Ground Game may still be overshadowed by Turning Point's vast reach on college campuses. |
| Building a human heart in a lab could be just 2 years away | |
| A Mississippi University for Women alumna and a regenerative medical researcher believes building a functioning heart in a lab for transplant is about two years away from becoming reality. "Imagine a future where you go to a lab, and you give somebody blood, and they store your blood. They (then) actually turn your blood cells into stem cells, and they grow billions of those, and then they bank them," said Dr. Doris Taylor during a presentation Thursday at The W's Nissan Auditorium. "And then ... when you get sick about a year before you need a transplant, your cells are incorporated into this universal empty heart scaffold that we figured out how to make from a pig heart." Taylor spoke about her research and educational journey during a lecture called "Building Heart in 2026: What I Learned at The W and Beyond" as part of The W's homecoming week. |
| Jackson State University hosts early screening of Michael Jackson biopic | |
 | The life and legacy of the King of Pop, Michael Jackson, took center stage at a screening of the film "Michael." The event honored the Sonic Boom of the South marching band for its collaboration with filmmakers on a recent promotional video. The B&B Northpark 14 theatre was filled with Jacksonians of all ages eager for the film's release. Briana McElroy, a Jackson native and executive vice president and head of worldwide digital marketing at Lionsgate, facilitated the partnership. She featured the Sonic Boom alongside two other HBCU bands -- Florida A&M and Southern University -- for the movie's promotion. McElroy's family attended the premiere, including her daughter, Nola, who celebrated her mother's work on the project. Interim President of Jackson State University Denise Gregory joined students at the event, wearing an outfit inspired by Michael Jackson. Gregory emphasized the importance of supporting student endeavors. "We're already on the move," said Gregory. "Of course, we were featured at the Rose Parade. We were featured in the Super Bowl And so, we just know there's so many more opportunities that are ahead for us." |
| 'Worst I've ever seen it.' Black Spring Break sees lightest crowd amid police presence | |
 | For the second year in a row, the stretch of Biloxi Beach that was once home to Black Spring Break is now reduced to small groups of people sitting along Beach Boulevard. Black Spring Break this year ran from April 9 to 12, however the crowd of beachgoers that once dominated the stretch of Biloxi Beach from Edgewater Mall to the Mississippi Coast Coliseum was nowhere to be found. Instead, people either opted not to turn out for this year's Black Spring Break or spent their time at the concerts and parties across other parts of the Gulf Coast. "There's been no crowd at all," said Sgt. Candace Young, a public information officer for the Biloxi Police Department. Young also said that traffic flow was normal in Biloxi and was not affected by Black Spring Break. Approximately 150 police officers from the Biloxi Police Department, Jackson County Sheriff's Department and Harrison County Patrol were deployed in addition to officers already on duty to manage the event. For LaWanda Ellis, who has come to Black Spring Break from Starkville since the '90s, attending the event this year "is really no fun" and "the worst I have ever seen it." |
| High school students learn about US military academies from cadets and graduates | |
 | The path to West Point doesn't start on campus. It starts in rooms like this -- with students willing to put in the work. On Saturday, Mississippi Congressman Michael Guest brought that opportunity to local students. For anyone considering a military career -- or simply looking for a challenge -- the message was clear: start preparing now. Guest brought together current cadets and former U.S. military academy graduates to walk students through every step of the process -- from applying, to academy life, to the opportunities that come after graduation. "We also bring in individuals who can give them insight into the application process, insight into -- if they are accepted into a service academy -- what is expected of them, the leadership, the training, the skills that they'll develop, and then the future opportunities that lie ahead," Guest explained. Before students can set foot on a military academy campus, most will first need a nomination from a U.S. congressman or senator. |
| What Is HB580? How the Alabama bill could change college tenure | |
| A major shift could be on the horizon for Alabama's public universities. On Thursday, the Alabama Senate passed House Bill 580, which Rep. Troy Stubbs, R-Wetumpka, sponsored, moving the proposal closer to becoming law after the House cleared it earlier this session. The bill would overhaul how public colleges and universities in the state handle faculty governance, tenure and curriculum decisions. At the center of the legislation is a shift in authority. Faculty senates, which typically represent professors in campus decision-making, would be allowed to exist only with approval from a university's governing board and would be limited to an advisory role. They would no longer have final say over policies or issue official statements beyond their defined duties. The bill also targets tenure, a system that has traditionally provided professors with strong job security and protections for academic freedom. |
| How The U. Of Alabama Contributed To Artemis II Success | |
| Watching the orange parachutes return the Artemus II moon mission to earth Friday evening brought tremendous pride to the nation but nowhere more so than the University of Alabama campus in Tuscaloosa. A number of people on campus played a critical role in the mission's success. UA has a strong, ongoing history of collaboration with the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA), particularly with the Marshall Space Flight Center in Huntsville. The partnerships have included research in advanced in-space manufacturing, student robotics competitions, and developing software used in the Artemis moon missions. Many of the calculations that made the Apollo Moon Program a success was lost of outdated once man quit traveling to earth's satellite. All of the flight trajectories and space mapping had to be redeveloped. |
| Professor Banned From Teaching Plato Excerpt to Leave Texas A&M: 'It's Getting Worse' | |
 | Martin Peterson made headlines earlier this year when he was banned from teaching an excerpt from Plato's Symposium in his introductory philosophy course at Texas A&M University at College Station. That censorship was the result of a 2025 policy by the A&M system's Board of Regents restricting what faculty members can teach on race and gender. Peterson's plight captured the scope -- some would say the absurdity -- of the board's oversight and reflected the deep frustration faculty members across Texas have felt as scrutiny over what they teach has ramped up. This week Peterson turned in his resignation. He has accepted an endowed chair at Southern Methodist University, a private institution, which he said will protect his teaching from state overreach. His focus will be on AI ethics. (The university is headed by the former president of the University of Texas at Austin, Jay Hartzell.) |
| Texas Tech System leader cancels academic programs 'centered on' sexual orientation, gender identity | |
| Texas Tech University System's chancellor on Friday ordered campuses to phase out academic programs "centered on" sexual orientation and gender identity -- a dramatically expanded policy that also places limits on what can be researched and which faculty can be hired. Chancellor Brandon Creighton's memo gives provosts until June 15 to identify targeted programs and requires the system's five universities to freeze admissions and halt students from declaring majors in the phased out programs. Students already enrolled can finish their degrees. Offerings that appear most likely to be affected include Texas Tech University's women's and gender studies undergraduate minor and graduate certificate, as well as women's and gender studies minors at Midwestern State University and Angelo State University. |
| Looking for a College Scholarship on Social Media Sites? Buyer, Beware. | |
| This is the time of year when students are figuring out where they will go to college in the fall. Many, it turns out, are scouring social media sites like TikTok and Instagram for money to help them pay for it. When searching social media, however: Buyer, beware. Some scholarships promoted on those sites promise to help fund degrees, but students should make sure they are legitimate, student advisers say. "People have to do their own research," said Rosario Mendez, assistant director at the Federal Trade Commission's division of consumer and business education. About two-thirds of college students search for scholarships on TikTok at least occasionally, and about 20 percent search weekly, according to a February survey of 274 college students and recent graduates by the private lender Sallie Mae, which also offers the Scholly scholarship search tool. Students shouldn't take information from online influencers at face value. |
| The hottest college major hit a wall. What happened? | |
 | A lot of students took the advice to learn to code. Since the Great Recession left technology as a rare spot of optimism in American industry, computer science has been among the fastest-growing college majors in the country, according to indispensable degree data from the National Center for Education Statistics. From 2008 to 2024, the number of four-year computer science degrees granted rose about fivefold. That's more than double the pace of the next fastest-growing large majors: exercise science, nursing and mechanical engineering. Now there are signs that the 15-year boom in computer science education may be ending or at least morphing. The change is not showing up in graduations --- at least not yet. But we can see it in enrollment data from the nonprofit National Student Clearinghouse, which crunches numbers from 97 percent of U.S. universities. Student enrollment in computer science at four-year colleges fell 8.1 percent in the fall of 2025. In absolute numbers, it's the biggest one-year drop of any major discipline going back to at least 2020. |
| As AI pushes students to reconsider majors, universities struggle to adapt | |
 | A recent poll shows AI's increasing role in how students decide on college majors, creating a rapidly developing situation for universities that are still struggling to determine how the technology will shape higher education. The Lumina Foundation-Gallup 2026 State of Higher Education survey found 47 percent of currently enrolled college students have thought about switching majors "a great deal" or a "fair amount" over AI concerns. Around 16 percent pointed to AI as the reason they changed their field of study. "We're getting to a point where it's almost unacceptable, right, that we're having all of these conferences and all of these roundtable discussions, and we are failing to provide students with some just meaningful advice and helping them to feel like they're prepared," said Alex Kotran, CEO of the AI Education Project. |
| Many of the Education Dept.'s Accreditation Ideas May Be Illegal, Experts Say | |
| The Education Department will begin a rulemaking session Monday in its push to make major changes in how the accreditation system works. Higher-education and legal experts are already warning that both the proposed rules and the department's handling of the process may violate federal law and regulations. "This is an unprecedented federal intrusion into the role of the accreditors and a way to set a level of federal control that nobody wants to see," said Jon Fansmith, senior vice president for government relations and national engagement at the American Council on Education. The government has proposed a raft of new regulations meant to make it easier to create new accrediting organizations by lowering the bar for such groups to earn federal recognition. The department also wants to make it easier for colleges to switch accreditors. |
| Rescinding Title IX Agreements Risks Further Fracturing Trump-Higher Ed Relationship | |
 | The Trump administration's recent decision to scrap several civil rights settlements with school districts and one community college undermines a bedrock assumption for institutions: that the terms of an agreement will be upheld, even if the administration changes. The rescissions could further erode the relationship between institutions and the federal government, which has fractured since Trump returned to the White House. Institutions have found that they can't rely on the government as a dependable partner; federal agencies have cut grants without notice and imposed penalties without due process, creating uncertainty and risk for institutions. Now they can't assume that a settlement reached with the government will stand. Experts interviewed by Inside Higher Ed and other media outlets say rescinding a resolution agreement is unusual and damaging. |
| Trump Administration Has Abandoned Its Fight to Cap Overhead Research Costs at 15% | |
| The legal battle over a proposed rule that would have cost research universities billions has ended with a whimper. The Trump administration had until Monday to appeal a court's ruling that barred it from enacting a 15-percent cap on the National Institutes of Health's reimbursement of researchers' indirect costs. The deadline came and went, STAT reported, meaning an appeals court's ruling that the proposed cap was illegal will be the final word. (Congress earlier this year barred the NIH and other agencies from changing their indirect-cost rules for the next year.) Even as higher education chose to fight in court, it also came up with a compromise. Representatives from associations across the sector proposed a new model, called Financial Accountability in Research, that determines indirect-cost reimbursement in a more detailed manner. The White House hasn't weighed in publicly on the proposal, but Congress did signal its support for the effort. |
