SUMMARY: Ole Miss head basketball coach Chris Beard reassured fans of his commitment to the team amidst rumors of a potential move to Arkansas.

With a social media post, Beard expressed excitement for the future at Ole Miss, emphasizing they were “just getting started.” His first season saw Ole Miss win 20 games, a notable improvement. Beard, who secured a contract extension on March 13, is expected to remain at Ole Miss through at least the 2029-30 season.

Mississippi legislature passes more digital-friendly method of issuing search warrants
SUMMARY: Mississippi is set to modernize its process of issuing and executing search warrants through legislation allowing electronic signatures. The bill, passed by both legislative chambers, awaits Governor Tate Reeves' approval. It permits law enforcement officers to request warrants digitally, and judges to approve them electronically. Digital affidavits can be submitted by individuals under oath. The electronic methods will have the same legal validity as traditional signatures. Security measures, like encryption and recording signature timestamps, are mandated to ensure authenticity. Upon the governor's approval, the law will take effect on July 1.
