Idalia to bring significant impacts to the Florida Panhandle and Peninsula – Home – WCBI TV
SUMMARY: Tropical storm Idalia is expected to strengthen into a major hurricane by Wednesday morning and make landfall in the Florida Big Bend region. It is likely to become a category 3 storm and bring significant storm surge, rain, and wind impacts to its path. However, the effects will be felt across most of the Florida Peninsula, southern Georgia, and coastal South Carolina, not just in the center of the storm. Northern Mississippi is not expected to be impacted, but drier air will be brought in, providing more pleasant mornings temporarily.

Salaries for two public university presidents creep toward $1 million a year
SUMMARY: Two Mississippi public university presidents now earn nearly $1 million annually, while faculty and staff pay remains stagnant. The high salaries come from state funds and substantial supplements from private university foundations. Ole Miss' Glenn Boyce and Mississippi State's Mark Keenum each earn $950,000, with retention bonuses potentially adding up to $1.4 million and $800,000, respectively, if they stay until their contracts end. Despite these high salaries, average faculty pay has decreased due to inflation. The Institutions of Higher Learning (IHL) Board, which considers salary decisions confidential, aims to increase faculty and staff pay in the future.
