[Faith] Restoring Stolen Years
"Your honor, we the people of Mississippi find the accused, Cedric Willis, guilty of murder."
Chicks We Love
In order to fill Lindsey Cacamo's shoes, one must have the ability to switch into "octopus mode." Aside from the ability to multi-task, Cacamo says instinctual, quick-on-your-feet problem-solving skills and knowing how to debate well are her other skills as the director of media and community relations for Richard Schwartz and Associates, P.A.
2020 Power Couples
The Jackson area is proud to claim a number of power couples that use their bonds to accomplish great things or otherwise positively affect the community.
A Pimp's Revenge
I couldn't help but smile as I watched Memphis rap group Three 6 Mafia accept their Oscar this month for Best Original Song. Not because they didn't deserve it. Oh no, Three 6 has been holding it down for nearly a decade. They've cruised just under the crossover radar since the mid-'90s with several regional and a few national hits. Of course, being that they're so close to Jackson, they're extremely popular here.
MPB: Public Servant?
Max Breazeale checked his transmitters at station WMAH in McHenry Sunday night before Hurricane Katrina ripped the Gulf Coast asunder. From frequency control to power supply, he made sure everything worked and was dry, safe and secure.
The effects of Sexual Deception
Okay, I have to admit it: I watch some of the movies on Lifetime. One recently got my attention and caused me to think about my feelings about the power and consequences of deception. The movie, based on a true story, was "A GIRL LIKE ME: The Gwen Araujo story."
Gannett Plans to Shrink Dailies; Target Older Folks
Interesting poop about the Gannett Co.'s plans for its daily newspapers. (Remember that Gannett owns The Clarion-Ledger.) It seems that they plan to shift their strategy from producing print newspapers and move more online into their "information centers." More interesting to me is their plans for their papers—shrink them and target older folks. (Isn't this happening already?)
Transcribed Remarks of Barbour, Pickering, Red Cross Head
Transcribed Remarks: Governor Haley Barbour, U.S. Congressman Chip Pickering, and
Governor Haley Barbour: Let me start off by introducing a great ally to Mississippi, and somebody that is a genuine pleasure for me to have here and to let visit with you. Marty Evans is the President of the American Red Cross. Marty.
Going Dr. Laura On Your Ass
Perhaps Asa Carter, a Klansman and the secretary of the North Alabama White Citizens Council, said it best in 1956:
Searching for the Neshoba Metaphor
I didn't know specifics about it before I went. Much of what I knew, I pieced together here and there from hearing conversations about it.
2011: Community
<b>Best Public Figure: 
Mayor Harvey Johnson Jr.</b>
Jackson's first African American mayor has been through it. Since he was first elected to the seat in 1997, he has weathered belittlement, racism, jealousy, direct attacks, vicious media coverage, being labeled "Election Man," being compared to a slow turtle--all while trying to govern a city decimated by its history and white--hen-economic--flight.
September 21 Music Releases
At long last, the JFP weekly music releases are back!!! After several weeks of scant releases, the various record labels comprising this list have inundated the market. In fact, there are a total of 529 new music releases for this week alone. Given the average number of releases per week is approximately 120, this should truly be a feast for our collective ears.
Dads and Purity Balls-Respect My Authortay!
I've sat on this one too long. Feministing has blogged about the ickiness of the Purity Ball for a while now, and this one is quite the ickiest.
"Fahrenheit 601": JFP Readers Want Film in Jackson
Here's the blog that has Jackson talking; originally posted June 19, 2004, this thread spawned a movement to bring "Fahrenheit 9/11" to Jackson. Now the energy has turned to bringing more independent film to the area. Read this thread to see how this grass-roots community effort came about. Be sure to support independent film (and media, and all local businesses, while you're at it). And join Crossroads Film Society if you're really interested in good indie film.
Harvey's Running For Mayor, Again
Former Jackson mayor Harvey Johnson announced his candidacy for mayor on Saturday. Speaking in front of the Jackson Convention Complex, Johnson pointed to achievements from his two mayoral terms.
The Commons: Continuity of Love
Under the quiet gaze of an oversized bronze statue of Eudora Welty, a friendly but insistent workman keeps asking Jonathan Sims what to do about the dishwasher. Sims can't answer right away. He looks down at the brick-imprinted concrete covered with wet leaves and concentrates.
