Mississippi State partners with Ingalls Shipbuilding to create heat safety device
SUMMARY: Mississippi State University and Ingalls Shipbuilding are collaborating to develop CoolMitt devices, wearable technology designed to help shipbuilders avoid heat-related injuries. The innovative devices, created by the University's Athlete Engineering Institute, cool the body by circulating water through a specialized glove. This initiative aims to improve safety and performance for shipbuilders in South Mississippi, where temperatures can exceed 100 degrees during summer. The partnership also offers valuable real-world experience for MSU students. Supported by AccelerateMS through an MS-SHIPS DoD grant, the project has potential benefits beyond shipbuilding, enhancing safety across defense manufacturing.

Outdoors expert hopeful new wildlife commissioners will be both qualified and educated
SUMMARY: Republican Gov. Tate Reeves is tasked with appointing two new members to the Mississippi Commission on Wildlife, Fisheries, and Parks following the Senate's decision not to reconfirm Leonard Bentz, Jr. due to an illegal hunting scandal, and the term conclusion of chairman Bill Cossar. Lake Pickle, a videographer with onX Hunt, emphasizes the public's heightened interest in the appointments, urging Reeves to prioritize qualifications over friendships. As chronic wasting disease (CWD) impacts the state's white-tailed deer, there's a call for scientifically educated commissioners. Despite failed legislation to expand the commission, optimism remains high for positive changes.

At Lake Washington, the limit is 20 fish per angler with an 11-inch minimum length. At the flood control reservoirs, the limit is 10 fish per angler and 25 per boat for three or more anglers, with a 12-inch minimum length. Fish must be cleaned at designated stations.

New legislation pushes Mississippi runoff elections back one week
SUMMARY: New Mississippi legislation, effective January 1, 2025, will extend the runoff election period from three to four weeks post-Election Day. The bill, SB 2144, passed with overwhelming support (118-1 in the House and 50-1 in the Senate), allowing more preparation time for election officials and voters. Senator Jeremy England, chairman of the Elections Committee, stated this extension will enable better-informed voter decisions through candidate debates. Additionally, a ban on ranked-choice voting will take effect on July 1. Despite concerns about potential impacts on voter turnout and campaign costs, England considers these changes beneficial for a cleaner election process.
