The University of Mississippi School of Pharmacy has once again been recognized as one of the nation’s top pharmacy schools, accepting the American Association of Colleges of Pharmacy’s Lawrence C. Weaver Transformative Community Service Award.
The Mississippi Emergency Management Agency and FEMA have awarded the University of Mississippi an $84,344 grant to continue researching ways to upgrade the university’s Natural Hazards Mitigation Plan.
In 2006, Ole Miss became the first college in the state to form and have a mitigation plan approved. The Mississippi Institutions of Higher Learning now requires each public university to have such a plan in place.
After a week off, the Ole Miss men’s basketball team will return to the court Saturday, traveling to Tuscaloosa to take on the Alabama Crimson Tide. In their last game this past Saturday, the Rebels held off South Carolina for a 66-62 win in Oxford. Head coach Andy Kennedy said he thinks the week off came at a perfect time for his team.
Signees: Bo Wallace, Maikhail Miller (Greyshirt from last year’s class)
Grade: C+
Ole Miss failed to sign a true high school quarterback in this class, but brought in the NJCAA Offensive Player of the Year in Bo Wallace who has three years of eligibility left. Miller greyshirted from the 2011 class and enrolled in January. He’s a developmental player who will need time before competing for the starting job. Wallace should immediately compete for the starting job, but it hurt to not land either Anthony Alford or Jeremy Liggins, who committed to Southern Miss and LSU, respectively.
Signees: Channing Ward, Kameroon Wood (Greyshirt from last year’s class), John Youngblood
Grade: A
Ward is the jewel of Freeze’s first recruiting class. One of the best, if not the best player in Mississippi, he looks to step in and be an impact pass rusher for a defense that managed only 13 sacks this past season. As a senior at Aberdeen, he recorded 117 tackles and 16 sacks.
Wood and Youngblood are high-energy, high-motor guys that, if nothing else, provide depth at the position. This group could have been an “A+” if Ole Miss had landed North Pike’s A.J. Jefferson, who signed with Mississippi State.
Nkemdiche is undoubtedly the top player in the state of Georgia and will most likely be ranked as the top player in the entire country in 2013. He stands at 6’5,” 271 pounds, and runs a 4.6 40-yard dash. He recorded 19 sacks and, on the other side of the ball, rushed for 528 yards and 17 touchdowns as a junior at Grayson High School in Loganville, Ga. Nkemdiche is a physical freak who could play defensive end, defensive tackle or linebacker in a 3-4 scheme at the next level. While Alabama is thought to be his early leader, Ole Miss signed his older brother, Denzel, in the 2011 signing class.
In response to Trenton Winford’s “Pre-existing conditions unfortunate, but should not be covered.”
The Affordable Care Act is a controversial piece of legislation that seeks to address one of America’s most complex issues. This short, one-sided article ignores aspects of the ACA that act to protect not just patients, but insurance companies as well.
In the fall, several activist groups were in a tizzy regarding an episode of “Glee,” in which two leading couples (one heterosexual couple and one same-sex couple) dealt with the issues leading up to and arising from their first sexual encounters.
In President Barack Obama’s 2012 State of the Union Address, he carried a theme through the speech, which earned him several standing ovations and should have earned whoever wrote that speech a significant raise.
Last spring I searched through a bookshelf at Goodwill looking for new material. I bought a stack of books, read the ones that most interested me and put the others aside.
In less than two months after being introduced as the new head football coach, Hugh Freeze put together a 19-player recruiting class, including 13 who signed their National Letters of Intent yesterday. He held together much of this year’s class despite the coaching change and made a splash with the additions of Aberdeen defensive end Channing Ward and East Mississippi Community College quarterback Bo Wallace, who signed during the junior college transfer signing period. All things considered, Freeze was pleased with his first recruiting class and is looking forward to the future.
Unlike the rooms of various recruits around the country, there was little drama in the room where defensive tackle Issac Gross and defensive end/linebacker Temario Strong each signed a letter of intent to play for Ole Miss next season. The two signees join a long list of players who have come out of South Panola and moved on to play at Ole Miss for their college careers.
Burdette committed to Hugh Freeze at Arkansas State and switched to Ole Miss in late January. Originally a running back, he was forced to play quarterback as a senior. He rushed for over 1,200 yards as a junior at the running back position. Listed as an athlete, he could play in the defensive secondary or at running back for the Rebels.
John has an unfortunate story. He and his wife want to start a family, so they began searching for a house. The house they end up buying has a few problems, but it is a good starter house. The roof leaks, the cabinets need to be replaced and the foundation has some problems.
The 2008 presidential election between Sens. John McCain and Barack Obama was purported to be about hope and change; the next president was going to change the status quo from a gridlocked Washington to a Washington that worked for the American people, rather than lobbyists and peddlers like Newt Gingrich, corporations and Wall Street. But the voters eventually got what they deserved.
By the late 1990s, the University of Mississippi had already enrolled its first black student, cheered on its first black student-athlete, elected its first black Miss Ole Miss and crowned its first black Miss University. However, at the turn of the millennium the students had yet to be led by a black Associated Student Body president.
I’m sick as I write this. My back aches, my shoulders are tense and I’ve found myself coughing up very interesting variations of the color green. Simply put, my body hates me right now. I don’t know what I did to upset it, but it is clearly getting its point across that it is very, very displeased with me.
So what if the economy is not at its best and buying a new car is considered a bad investment? There is nothing like that new car smell. And for those who want that new car smell, I have put together my second annual new car buyer’s guide.
A little past midnight, a bleeding sophomore collapsed to the floor holding his stomach. He was stabbed in his stomach, lower abdomen, under his left eye and behind his ear. His drunken roommate and former fraternity brother stood over him with a knife in his hand as the third roommate dialed 911. The Lafayette police arrived to find the two men fighting tooth and nail. After a critical week-long stay in Baptist Memorial Hospital, the 20-year-old English major withdrew from the University of Mississippi and returned to his home in Austin, Texas. That was Feb. 25, 2007, nearly five years ago to this day.
