The Sound (Guys) of Music
While many of us attend concerts and festivals to hear great live music, it is common to forget that it's not only the band making great music, but it's the behind-the-scenes sound engineers (aka "the sound guys") that help create that music so dear to our hearts.
Living a Dream
What a pleasure to witness a boy with a big vision and then see him live his dreams as a man. Jason Campbell, NFL quarterback, is doing just that.
Stolen Lives: Remembering the Tragedy of Slavery
An Instrument of Change
A half moon disappeared as the sun rose out of the Atlantic Ocean on Sept. 1, 1832. The humid coastal winds filled the sails and carried the ship through the waves as J.W. Martin captained the Schooner Wild Cat, a 40-plus ton sailboat, out of the port of Charleston, S.C.
Kelly Engelmann
She's more than just a familiar face with a fancy job title; she's helping Mississippians heal and age gracefully. Kelly Engelmann, owner and family nurse practitioner at Enhanced Wellness in Jackson, is dedicated now, more than ever, to women's health.

The Defense Wears Black
"Do I have anything to wear?" I wondered. It's not an uncommon quandary I face, but this time, it wasn't in preparation for a night out or special event.
Gulf Coast Arts
Silvery, coppery structures twist among old live oak trees near the shore of the Mississippi Sound, close to where the Biloxi SchoonÂer docks. This is the site of the Ohr-O'Keefe Museum, a complex of buildings that includes four metallic pods that torque like ancient, hurricane-battered trees. It also serves as a welcome center to the Mississippi Gulf Coast.

Summer Festival Guide
As the temperature ratchets up and the youngsters (and not-so-youngsters) taste the sweet freedom of the school year's end, it begins to "officially" feel like summer. To me, summer just means great music festivals. If you didn't get out to those we covered earlier in the month, fear not - - Mississippi still has plenty of festivals for the rest of us.
Snakes Infest Jackson Cul-de-sac
Two Jacksonians have a dangerous problem most city residents rarely come across: snakes. Monday, they went to the City Hall to ask for help with the slithering pests.

Pro Hoops Comes to Jackson
This November, Jackson's new semi-pro basketball team will take the court as a member of the American Basketball Association.
Winning the Burger Challenge
Constructing the perfect burger is a fine art. One must begin with the finest ingredients: patties hand-formed out of fresh, never-frozen beef, delectable seasonings, a light and fluffy bun and a host of world-class toppings. Ingredients in hand, the cooking and building process can begin.
Seersucker Friday
When @FlyJFP Twitter followers make a request, I try my best to deliver. I hear that there are people around town who adhere to the rules of Seesucker Fridays from Easter to the end of the summer. So when they asked for a spread, I was out the next day scouring the city for all the seersucker I could find.
Benefits of Inmate Labor
When I met Haley Barbour he was running for governor for the first time in 2003. It was at the Black Hawk political rally here in Carroll County. I have to give him credit: He is good at the one-on-one politics required at settings like the one here. I believe that he is as much at ease whether at a rural political rally or a corporate boardroom. A year ago, I figured he would be making national headlines when 2012 came around.
Charter Schools Rock?
