State health department: Smokers 30-40 percent more likely to develop diabetes
SUMMARY: Smokers in Mississippi are 30 to 40 percent more likely to develop type two diabetes compared to non-smokers, according to Amy Winter, Director of the Office of Tobacco Control at the Mississippi State Department of Health. Smoking can also impact how well an individual's insulin works. Chemicals found in cigarettes cause inflammation in cells, resulting in less response to insulin and requiring diabetics who smoke to take higher doses of insulin. The Mississippi State Department of Health is collaborating with program areas to raise awareness about type two diabetes and offers free programs to support those quitting smoking.

SUMMARY: Graceland, Elvis Presley's former home, faces a public auction due to a $3.8 million loan claim by Naussany Investments, which contends the estate was collateral. However, Riley Keough, Elvis' granddaughter, contests the sale, filing a lawsuit and obtaining a restraining order. Keough claims Naussany used falsified documents to fabricate the loan, which Elvis Presley Enterprises confirmed as fraudulent. The Memphis judge has blocked the auction, with an injunction hearing scheduled for Wednesday. Graceland, worth $400-$500 million, draws over half a million visitors yearly and is a National Historic Landmark since 2006.

SUMMARY: A Lee County woman, Misty Burgess, has pleaded guilty to one count of theft of government funds for attempting to obtain unemployment benefits using her sister's personal information. The application was submitted in 2020 when Burgess' sister was ineligible due to being incarcerated at the Central Mississippi Correctional Facility. State Auditor Shad White stated that this case is among many unemployment fraud cases recently tackled by his team. The U.S. Attorney's office prosecuted the case, and Burgess awaits sentencing by the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Mississippi in September.
