While both chambers in the Mississippi Legislature passed the necessary appropriation bill to provide $2.5 million in state support funds to the youth court system, the demise of SB 2728 puts a roadblock in the Administrative Office of Court’s ability to dispense the money.
While state funding was appropriated to Mississippi’s Youth Court system during the recent legislative session, inaction on a separate extension bill for the youth court program has left dispersal of that funding in limbo.

Below is a religion column by Matt Friedeman:
In Habakkuk’s day, Jerusalem was about to be pummeled. Their feelings, their sense of self, had gotten in the way of following God’s unchanging character and standards.
Studying Habakkuk this morning with a group of guys, I ran across this line: “So the law is paralyzed…justice goes forth perverted.”

goal and objectives
By Wes Neal
MSU Extension Service
STARKVILLE, Miss. -- A serious pond manager will know their pond goal and have specific objectives to achieve it.
A goal can be defined as a long-term statement of what you want the pond to become, while objectives are more specific and can be measured to determine if you are making progress towards the goal. Being measurable is key; this tells you if what you’re doing is working or if you need to change course.
