By JACK WEATHERLY jack.weatherly@msbusiness.com The recent spate of subfreezing weather isn’t all bad. Just ask blueberry farmers. An unusually warm winter last year cut into the state’s fruit crops, including blueberries, the state’s largest. But thus far this winter, subfreezing weather bodes well for fruit crops in Missis-

sippi, according to Dr. Eric Thomas Staphne, an associate professor at the Mississippi State University Extension Service. That’s because fruit needs a certain amount of “chilling hours,” when temperatures are between 32 and 45 degrees Fahrenheit, to support its dormancy stage before blooming and producing. “We’ve probably accumulated enough for some of the lower chilling varieties,” Staphne

said in an interview. “We’re hoping that we’ll have some more of that cooling weather in the next month,” Staphne said. Blueberries, for example, need 400 to 600 chilling hours, he said. The average number of chilling hourse ranged from 400 to 600 hours around Hat-

Ben Williams

hen Hawaii-based U.S. District Judge Derrick Kahala Watson issued his short-lived October 17, 2017 U.S.-wide restraining order of President Trump’s September 24, 2017 Proclamation 9645 (sometimes called the “third travel ban”), the lifetime Article III appointee felt compelled to lead with injudicious humor: “Professional athletes mirror the federal government in this respect: they operate within a set of rules, and when one of them forsakes those rules in favor of his own, problems ensue.” The Obama-appointee who, like President Obama, both was born in Honolulu and graduated in the Harvard Law Class of 1991, witnessed his order quickly fall victim to his own inept witticism. On December 4, 2017, the Supreme Court summarily stayed his imperious 40-page order on a 7-2 vote (“December 2017 SCOTUS Order”). Remarkably, the December 2017 SCOTUS Order contains only five sentences. Yet, despite its brevity, the 7-2 decision is educational, stinging, and potent. BACKGROUND – the June 2017 SCOTUS and October 2017 SCOTUS Orders First, some background. Recall the Supreme Court had already seen fit, on June 26, 2017, to grant the President’s petition for writ of certiorari for the Court to intervene in earlier travel ban lawsuits. That 16-page opinion (“June 2017 SCOTUS Order”) substantially reinstated the President’s directives and took the liberal media by surprise – both as to outcome and the prodigious 9-0 vote. The breaking news snippets failed to publicize the critical underpinnings of the ruling: 1. “(‘[A]n unadmitted and nonresident alien . . . ha[s] no constitutional right of entry to this country’). So whatever burdens may result from enforcement … against a foreign national who lacks any connection to this country, they are, at a minimum, a good deal less concrete than the hardships identified by the courts below.” 2. “[T]he Government’s interest in enforcing [the travel ban], and the Executive’s authority to do so, are undoubtedly at their peak when there is no tie between the foreign national and the United States.” 3. “The interest in preserving national security is ‘an urgent objective of the highest order.’ … To prevent the Government from pursuing that objective … against foreign nationals unconnected to the United States would appreciably injure its interests, without alleviating obvious hardship to anyone else.” All nine Justices, typically split on ideological lines, thereby provided unanimous guidance to the lower courts about issuance of extraordinary remedies against the Executive Branch. Then, on October 10, 2017, in an 8-1 vote, the Court summarily ordered the lower court to dismiss the challenge as moot.

The December 2017 SCOTUS Order We now move to the one-page December 2017 SCOTUS Order. As outlined in this column, this 7-2 decision favoring the President is ... Educational. In the category of “you say it best when you say nothing at all,” SCOTUS stayed Watson’s 40-page order with an unsigned edict. SCOTUS, just six months prior, provided ample guidance to lower courts. The Court didn’t feel the need to explain it again.

Stinging. The swiftness and succinctness in staying the lower court’s actions was stinging. Few federal judges have found their orders stayed by the Supreme Court in a paltry 48 days. Potent. Supreme Court Rule 10 states: “Review on a writ of certiorari is not a matter of right, but of judicial discretion” and “will be granted only for compelling reasons.” Ergo, the Supreme Court rarely grants Cert Petitions. Yet, in less than six months in 2017, SCOTUS accepted two Cert Petitions on the same subject. This atypical Court intervention and swift outcome favored the President, 9-0, 8-1, and 7-2. Remarkably, in its December 2017 SCOTUS Order, the Court prospectively ordered that notwithstanding any future appellate court ruling, the lower court injunction would NOT be effective until either the Supreme Court says so or the President chooses not to appeal. Whoa. WHERE TO NOW? The fourth sentence in the December 2017 SCOTUS order is instructive: “[W]e expect that the Court of Appeals will render its decision with appropriate dispatch.” On December 22, 2017, a three-judge panel of the Ninth Circuit (all Clinton appointees) partially upheld and partially overturned Judge Watson’s ruling but dutifully stayed enforcement of its own ruling. On January 5, 2018, the President, as expected, petitioned the Supreme Court for a writ of certiorari. A 4th Circuit ruling in a similar case is pending. Regardless, the Supreme Court has reserved the ﬁnal ruling for itself. TAKEAWAY The edifying June 2017 SCOTUS order isn’t hard to follow. Start with the premise that an “unadmitted and nonresident alien” has “no constitutional right of entry to this country,” then add the concepts about Executive

authority being at a “peak when there is no tie between the foreign national and the United States” and national security being “‘an urgent objective of the highest order.’” My takeaway: a federal district judge considering an INJUNCTION of the President’s national security actions should focus on discretion, recognize that national security interests exceed the hardships of a delay in a legal immigrant bringing extended foreign family into the U.S., and manifest some deference to the President.

PREDICTION I predict the Supreme Court will, on at least a 6-3 vote, side largely with the President. The opinion’s leitmotif will be one of deference to the other TWO co-equal branches of governments and the constitution’s masterful separation of powers. The Court will acknowledge the exigent charge of the Executive to secure our country, decline to second guess the validity, adequacy or wisdom of Presidential findings, ignore the unconstitutional Muslim ban jabber, and implicitly concede that the judiciary lacks the expertise, classified intelligence, manpower, or authority to micromanage the President’s national security apparatus. The Court will recognize that Congress may, should it believe the President isn’t following the letter or intent of immigration laws, pass more definitive legislation. And with its own superseding stay of the various lower court orders in place, the Supreme Court will not feel the need to similarly rush to judgment.

Transportation bills encouraging, but incomplete

tive session. On session’s second day, the House Ways and Means Committee approved a bill that would spend use taxes collected from companies like Amazon on road and bridge repairs. Reflect on this for a moment. The expert from the conservative Tax Foundation brought in by legislative leaders to provide guidance on “tax reform,” told legislators costs for road and bridge building and maintenance should be paid for with fuel taxes, i.e., those who use roads and bridges should pay for them. Short-sighted anti-tax fervor has so far killed all efforts to boost fuel taxes, leaving browbeaten legislators no choice but to rob other funds for much needed road and bridge repairs. Sigh. There’s more. Surging online sales are also beginning to impact city and county property taxes as more and more retail outlets close. This is a double whammy for municipalities as they lose both sales and property taxes. Fung Global Retail & Technology tracks retail store openings and closings. In 2017, it reported 6,985 store closures nationally, up 229 percent from the prior year. Recent closures impacting Mississippi include Bed, Bath and Beyond, Sears,

uch has been written about the urgency for Mississippi lawmakers to address transportation issues during the 2018 session, which began last week. Most agree the state’s roads and bridges face critical repair needs. But the issue has stalled in recent legislative sessions with lawmakers unable to reach a consensus on how to pay for them. And so the urgency grows each year. The Mississippi House sent a signal this week that it is focused on the issue, passing three transportation bills in the session’s opening days. Much more action is needed, but it is encouraging to see that transportation needs are clearly on the chamber’s radar. The three bills passed would: » Enact $50 million in bonds to split between the cities and counties to repair or replace substandard bridges. » Divert 50 percent of general fund growth above 2 percent from the previous year up to $100 million for road and bridge needs. » Place a two-year moratorium on the construction of new highways except in certain circumstances, such as where land acquisition has already started or when the road is needed for economic development purchases. “This body appears prepared to do something significant for roads and bridges,” House Transportation Committee Chairman Charles Busby told members of the House. “We know this (legislation passed by the House Thursday) does not do that, but it is a step in the right direction.” We agree on both points. The bills passed last week are not the prescription to Mississippi’s infrastructure ills. And they probably won’t provide much money. After all, Mississippi hasn’t seen growth of more than 2 percent in revenue in recent years, and the Department of Transportation is not currently even building many new highways. But their passage so early in the session seems to send a message about the House’s intentions. It will indeed take “something significant” to address the growing need. The Department of Transportation has said an additional $400 million annually is needed to deal with road and bridge problems. How the House plans to meaningfully approach that goal remains to be seen. And it will not matter what the House does if the Senate is not similarly motivated. Last year, the Senate rejected House proposals that would have sent some additional money to addressing infrastructure needs. Republican Central District Transportation Commissioner Dick Hall recently said Mississippi has 1,054 deficient bridges and 5,000 miles of highway in need of “serious repair.” The deteriorating infrastructure poses serious safety concerns. It severely hampers economic development efforts. As the 2018 legislative session dawns, we’re hopeful in seeing early efforts being made to finally meet this challenge. But much work still must be done.

Local government at risk from online sales, store closings

tagnant tax policies and antitax fervor coupled with the Legislature’s inattention to changing business patterns will play havoc with local government financing over the coming years. Here’s the backdrop. Municipal finances depend heavily on sales taxes that the state collects and shares with communities where the sales occur. Growing online sales by Amazon, Wal-Mart, and other major retailers take sales away from local stores. And even though Wal-Mart and other retailers with physical presences in the state collect taxes for online sales, the state defines these as “use” taxes and does not share them with municipalities. From FY 2011 through FY 2016, sales tax diversions to municipalities grew an average of 3.1 percent each year. However, from FY 2016 through FY 2017, total diversions hardly increased, up just 0.4 percent. At the same time, in the first quarter of 2017, Wal-Mart online sales jumped 63 percent. For the first five months of FY 2018, total diversions increased just 0.3 percent, while Amazon sales surged, growing to 43 percent of the e-commerce market. Legislators’ lack of interest in giving municipalities a share of use taxes was evident at the start of the new legisla-

JC Penney, Payless, Winn-Dixie, Kroger, and Gander Mountain. Even Wal-Mart is closing stores as online sales increase. Analysts expect much worse. Bloomberg linked the impact of growing online sales on brick and mortar retailers with increasing retail bankruptcies and problems with store credit cards to forecast a “retail apocalypse.” Credit Suisse forecast “a wave” of retail store closings and bankruptcies in early 2018. Those are pretty bleak forecasts given that store closings in 2017 almost surpassed the all-time high from the 2008 financial crisis. Of course, billionaire investor Warren Buffett anticipated this trend in online sales and cut his investments in brick and mortar retailers. We can’t expect state government to be as savvy about the future as Buffett, but we should expect them to catch on when the writing is on the wall. Fast changing business patterns have dire implications for traditional local government financing. Stagnant tax policies, which are totally under control of state legislators, need to be modernized and reformed with regard to local government.

Opponents say school merger won’t save money

esidents trying to prevent consolidation of the Richton and Perry County school districts are trying a new argument — that combining the two would cost more money and not less. Lawmakers last year appointed a study commission of people from the two districts to suggest plans for a merger. That’s a common tactic when local lawmakers are fighting consolidation. Such committees often reject the mandate to plan for a combination and instead fight. For a time, it appeared Perry and Richton County would work together on a plan. But while the report they sent back does lay out a skeletal merger plan, commission members ultimately decided they too wanted to fight to preserve their districts’ autonomy. Intriguingly, opponents are arguing against consolidation because they say that, counter to the usual rationale, it won’t save money or increase efficiency. The bill creating the commission, sponsored by Senate Education Committee Chairman Gray Tollison, called for recommendations on “how to maximize education quality in Richton and Perry County while eliminating duplicative and wasteful administrative spending.” Calculations by Richton resident Wayne Adams, who served on the six-member commission, show the two districts could save $209,000 annually by eliminating duplicate costs of two school boards and two central offices. But employees generally earn more in Perry County than in Richton, and calculations show it would cost $230,000 a year to raise the salaries of lower-paid workers. “By the time you equalize their salaries, you’re going to knock out any savings,” Adams said. “We think there’s no real

savings in this thing.” Higher salaries would, in legislative parlance “put more money into the classroom,” but it’s unclear if it would produce the academic gains that Tollison has said he wants. Adams found overall that Richton spends less than the statewide average per student, while Perry County’s spending is about average. It’s unclear if the opposition will have any effect. Many Republicans have taken the wisdom of school consolidation as an article of faith. Lt. Gov. Tate Reeves bragged about it Thursday to the Mississippi Economic Council. Since 2012, lawmakers have voted to cut the number of school districts by 13 through a series of mergers, some of which have yet to take effect. Tollison, a Republican from Oxford, said he hasn’t read the report, but says other reports project savings, and he believes 1,031-student Perry County and 681-student Richton are too small to survive in the long run. He also says a combined tax base would help guarantee adequate resources. Sen. Billy Hudson, a Hattiesburg Republican representing Perry County, said he wants Tollison to quash the plan. Hudson said there’s no reason to merge B-rated Richton and C-rated Perry County. “My understanding when we started consolidating is that we were going after failing schools,” Hudson said. “We can’t

Local lawmakers vote against it, but most lawmakers are unaffected and vote for it. The bottom line is that schools are the heart of most rural communities, and those places fight consolidation. Most newly merged districts have chosen to keep all existing schools open. Four high schools — Drew, East Oktibbeha, West Oktibbeha and Hinds Agricultural — have closed. Adams acknowledged that schools have mostly stayed open in mergers, but said Richton voters would be a minority when electing school board members in a combined Perry County district. “We feel like we would lose control of our local schools,” Adams said. ___ Jeff Amy has covered politics and government for The Associated Press in Mississippi since 2011.

Cal-Maine records $26.1 million loss for quarter after settlement By JACK WEATHERLY jack.weatherly@msbusiness.com

Cal-Maine Foods suffered a net loss of $26.1 million, or 54 cents per share, for the second fiscal quarter of 2018 in which the Jackson-based egg producer recorded a $52.8 million after-tax antitrust settlement. The settlement stems from a Sept. 25, 2008 consolidated suit case filed in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania. Excluding the settlement, the company recorded net income of $26.6 million, or 22 cents per share. “While we deny any liability in these cases and still believe that our conduct has always been lawful, we decided that it was in the best interests of our shareholders, customers and employees to settle these long-standing cases at this time,” Dolph Baker, chairman, president and chief executive said in a release. It was not the first such settlement for the company which reached a $17 million antitrust agreement in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2013. For the quarter that ended Dec. 2, Baker said, the company otherwise “had a solid operating performance during the quarter.” Net sales for the quarter were $361.2 million, a 42 percent increase over the second quarter of fiscal 2017,

the company said in the release. The second quarter of ﬁscal 2017 didn’t fare much better, for a different reason. Cal-Maine, the largest producer of shell eggs in the United States, continued to deal with the ripples caused by the avian inﬂuenza that devastated the industry in the Midwest and curtailed demand. That meant a net loss of $23 million, or 48 cents per share for Cal-Maine. Baker noted in the latest report that “market prices for conventional shell eggs conventional to move higher throughout the quarter, with our customer selling prices for all eggs and conventional eggs up 36 percent and 77.6 percent, respectively.” He noted that President Donald Trump’s signing on Dec. 22 of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, which will lower the corporate income tax to 20 percent from 35 percent, will reduce the company’s current deferred tax liability of $75.3 million in the third quarter. Shares of Cal-Maine closed at $40.80 on Friday, when earnings were released before the NasdaqGS market opened, a $1.05 drop. The market liked Cal-Maine shares on Monday, which closed at $43.45, up $2.85. Their 52-week range is $33.40 to $50.40.

Mississippi economy ‘relatively solid’ in November, report says By JACK WEATHERLY jack.weatherly@msbusiness.com The Mississippi economy was “relatively solid” in November, according to the University Research Center. Its Leading Index – composed of six parts, including national ﬁgures -- was 3.4 percent higher than the year-earlier month. Income tax withholding grew for the second consecutive month for the ﬁrst time since February, indicating an expanding payroll, according to the center, which is part of the Mississippi Institutions of Higher Learning. Residential building permits grew 1 percent in the month, after declining for most of 2017. Unemployment was 4.5 percent, up from 4.4 percent in October and 5 percent in November 2016, according to the style Department of Employment Security. Initial unemployment claims were down 21.9 percent from November 2016. The U.S. gross domestic product for November was 3.2 percent after its third revision – indicating that it could grow by 3 percent for the year. That would be the most since 2005. Employment in Mississippi climbed by 3,400 jobs in November compared with October, resulting in the highest level of employment since February 2008 during the economic recession. The largest increase among private nonfarm sectors was in business and professional services, which added 2,800 jobs beyond October totals, according to the study. The services sector in general constituted 36.6 percent of the work force and government made up 21.3 percent.

Due to the lack of chilling hours – and heavy rains – last year, the blueberry crop is totaled about 3.6 million pounds, Staphne said, which he said was off 30 to 40 percent, compared with 2016. Less acreage contributed to that drop, he said. The USDA’s National Agricultural Statistics Service (NASS) said that its survey of farmers shows that 7.4 million pounds were produced commercially in Mississippi in 2016, a ﬁgure that Staphne thinks is inﬂated.

In the past decade, the production ranged from a high of 10.5 million pounds in 2011 to 4 million pounds in 2008, according to the NASS. Staphne said climate data show a warming trend over the past 30 to 40 years. The consensus of the scientiﬁc community is that there has been a worldwide warming since the mid-20th century primarily because of human activity that produces greenhouse gases. Staphne said, “Whether you believe it or not, it’s still warming,” adding that “I think it’s probably the height of fallacy to think that we couldn’t affect any environment in which we live . . . and that includes the climate.”

AN MBJ FOCUS: TECHNOLOGY

Students work out bugs in their codes during class in Jackson at the Coding Academy.

There’s a code for jobs » With 1,000 unﬁlled positions in state, teachers look for students By jJULIA MILLER mbj@msbusiness.com

rom cell phones, to tablets, to smart watches, technology never seems to be out of reach. As it permeates every aspect of life, businesses are quickly following to improve customer experience and satisfaction, and with that, coding jobs are being posted

nonstop. Today, more than 1,000 coding jobs remain unﬁlled in Mississippi. Innovate Mississippi has partnered with the Mississippi Development Authority and the Mississippi Community College Board to combat this staggering statistic with its tuition-free Mississippi Coding Academies. “There’s a huge demand for coders around the state and country, and that demand is growing,” Janet Parker, business development director at Innovate, said. Rich Sun, executive director of the Coding Academy, said they are equipping their students

with a vocation in a quickly growing job market. Starting jobs can pay $50,000, with the potential of an increase upwards of $100,000 after they are established. “Every business will need coders for essential functions,” Sun said. The academies are based on a similar program in Water Valley called Base Camp. The original goal was to help them expand. They weren’t interested in that but have been helpful getting Innovate’s program launched last fall, both in Jackson and Columbus. See CODE, Page 18

Technology on the plant ﬂoor » LEC introduces major innovation in Industrial Internet of Things

Initially iQ2 was developed to solve the company’s own problems six or eight years ago. In solving their own problems, they realized there was value to other companies.

By BECKY GILLETTE mbj@msbusiness.com

LEC Inc. has been involved in industrial automation for nearly 30 years in the Jackson area. Recently the company introduced iQ2, a major innovation in the next generation Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT), which is the use of the Internet to communicate with and operate electronics, software, hardware, sensors and other devices used in manufacturing, said Justin Hogue, vice president for business development at LEC Inc. Hogue said iQ2 was designed from an industrial automation engineering perspective to address individual needs. “Working in partnership with top national network carriers and the best hardware providers, LEC’s iQ2 enables cutting-edge IIoT platform technology on the plant ﬂoor, for original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) and any industrial remote assets,” Hogue said. During its years in business, LEC has worked with customers that include companies involved with food and beverage, power generation, chemical processing, automotive, oil and gas, and municipal water and wastewater. “We have worked with customers in just about any industry you could imagine,” Hogue said. “Around 2010 we started to

work with more projects that covered a wider geographic area and tended to have remote sites as an integral part of this system like with oil and gas, wastewater and water, and even industrial machine monitoring. With those applications speciﬁcally, we found ourselves in need of a reliable means for communications with, those remote assets.” They evaluated just about any type of communication you can imagine including radio equipment, the Internet, satellite and cellular. Hogue said it turns out that cellular is the best solution for the applications they deal with. “That started us down the road of developing a relationship with the major cellular carriers in the U.S, and we built out a multi-carrier private cellular network that

All our forms of communication go through TEC: Internet, telephone, network—everything. TEC is our connection to the outside world.

allows us to communicate with remote sites without those customers exposing themselves to the Internet,” Hogue said. “The network is ideal for the security, speed and efficiency needed to deploy equipment in the Rosema ﬁeld. It allowed us to create a very efficient process for doing that.” Initially iQ2 was developed to solve the company’s own problems six or eight years ago. In solving their own problems, they realized there was value to other Hogue companies. “So that started us off into the communication’s side offering those services to other companies like ours,” Hogue said. “Once we became established on the communications side of things, as well as in addition to automation, it became evident we needed a similar solution for visualizing that data, being able to see what the data values were in a cloud based platform. That is what led to the development of IQ2, which is our cloud based program that is currently in launch. We still do industrial automation and we also provide complete solutions for IIot, an effort to connect remote assets and plant ﬂoor applications, as well.” Brian Rosema, LEC’s director of IIoT Strategy, said iQ2 is the most advanced, useable, and efficient automation and control engineering system, IIoT enablement, and cloud platform service. “iQ2 leverages industry standard com-

munication protocols and enables secure plant floor and remote asset data collection anytime from anywhere,” Rosema said. Rosema said there is a lot of great technology today for consumers such as smart phones, smart refrigerators, GPS devices, home alarms and even smart coffee makers. But for industries, it is more complex. “Our differentiator is the fact we have the software, the technology and the human resources to actually take that technology and make it real for our customer,” Rosema said. “Few organization can take the technology to create an end result that is much simpler and more cost effective leveraging industry standard communication protocols to enable secure plant floor and remote asset data collection anytime from anywhere.” And he said the benefits to customers include not just getting access to data, but changing business models. An example he gives is one company that was previously selling air compressors is now placing them in a customer’s facility and charging for the amount of air used. Hogue said IIoT applications are not unique to LEC, but their approach to IIoT is definitely unique to LEC. “iQ2 was developed from an industrial automation perspective, not from a software developer’s perspective,” Hogue said. “And it is intended to make the integration of IIoT into new and existing automation systems simple.” Hogue said iQ2 exceeds all automation needs with a contemporary, mobile-responsive interface, a flexible and adaptable backend architecture, customizable graphics and widgets, and on-demand automatic data file transfer. “iQ2 includes unlimited mapping, multiple device site support, active/passive GPS location, and custom dashboards and pages,” he said. “iQ2 also offers a detailed event log and audit trail for configuration, as well as full API integration capability for video, detailed/specialized data analytics, and 3rd party web service implementation.” Rosema said the value of iQ2 for OEMs, and other remote asset clients comes down to design. “iQ2 is not propriety to specific hardware,” Rosema said. “It quickly and easily integrates with exiting industrial automation and control systems, allows flexibility in integration, and requires low Non-Reoccurring Engineering (NRE) and ongoing costs.” LEC Inc. does business not just throughout the U.S., but also does international work including in Canada, South America and Europe.

CODE Continued from Page 15

The academy focuses on a hands-on curriculum, with 80 to 90 percent time of the classroom time spent writing code rather than listening to lectures. Instructors work with the students on an individual basis as specific problems arise. This model helps prepare coders to hit the ground running at a new job upon graduation. “That’s why we think the traditional academic model hasn’t turned out coders in the amount the industry needs it,” Sun said. MDA Executive Director Glenn McCullough Jr. identified critical success factors as rigorous student recruitment, engagement with employers, a simulated work environment, veteran classroom teachers, motivated students and collaboration with research universities, public school and community colleges. Currently, the program leaders are working with the Community College Board to develop either a certification for the program or the potential for college credit. The difficulty lies in creating a program that keeps up with quick technological advances. However, Sun said most coders are hired based on portfolios, or previously created code posted on websites like GitHub. The program not only supplies students with plenty of code to

use as a portfolio, but it also connects students directly with potential employers. “We have to connect them to employment opportunity to make this a legitimate program,” Parker said. With a little effort, Parker does not

anticipate that to be an issue. Although Mississippi Coding Academies are in the midst of its ﬁrst year, Base Camp, the program the Academies are based on, has all 11 graduates from last year currently employed.

Sun isn’t just looking to meet a demand in this industry but sees this program as an avenue to improve the state’s economy economy. “As more coders are in Mississippi, more jobs will be available,” he said. “You don’t have to build a factory; it’s a very rapid form of economic development.” McCullough said MDA took a similar stance on the program. “Computer coding positions exist within the majority of Mississippi companies,” he said. “Their positions are often outsourced because the state doesn’t have enough skilled individuals to ﬁll these positions. Programs like Base Camp and the Coding Academies will change this. By meeting an important workforce need, the academies also will help attract new companies to Mississippi.” Right now, the classes each have a capacity of 20, but Sun said they are going to have two classes in Jackson next year and are currently evaluating other potential locations. The W. K. Kellogg Foundation has already committed to $1 million toward the expansion of the program. Parker said they are always looking for people to help, whether its ﬁnancially or providing lunch for students. They are also eager to hear input from employers to help hone their curriculum. For anyone looking to help, they can contact Parker at 601-960-3611.

PERSPECTIVE

Governor: Mississippi reality different from critics’ view Critics are painting a negative picture of Mississippi but the state is enjoying low unemployment and is improving its public education system, Republican Gov. Phil Bryant said Tuesday night in a State of the State speech that offered a few new proposals. “The proverbial critics would have you believe that one is a declining state whose people are suffering mightily,” Bryant said. “They search for problems as if there is a reward for finding them.” At the midpoint of his second and final term as governor, Bryant said the state is filled with progress. “It is inhabited with caring, hard-working people of all races and ages who strive valiantly every day to make this wonderful state a better place to live and raise our children,” Bryant said. He said billions of dollars have been invested in new jobs. Bryant said that during the three-month legislative session, he will offer proposals to reduce government regulations. He said he supports efforts in the Republican-led Legislature to rewrite the school funding formula, though leaders

have not revealed a proposal. The current formula, called the Mississippi Adequate Education Program, is designed to ensure school districts receive enough money to meet midlevel academic standards. It has been fully funded only two years since it was put into law in 1997, falling short under leadership from both parties. Bryant said a new formula “should serve as a road map to success for every child in Mississippi’s public schools. It should not be a political prop used to allege someone’s failure to support education.” As he has in the past, Bryant advocated expansion of vouchers for children to attend private schools. “I continue to believe parents should have the freedom to use their tax dollars to send their child to the school of their choice, not one decided by the government,” he said. Vouchers are a contentious issue, with critics saying Mississippi should focus on improving all public schools rather than sending money to private schools. Bryant said Mississippi continues to “lag behind most of the nation” in health statistics.

“We have an overwhelming tendency to be our own worst enemy when it comes to obesity, substance abuse and sexually transmitted diseases,” he said. He also said Medicaid is straining the state budget, and patients and health care providers should focus more on preventing poor health from getting worse. “We must also insist that positive health care outcomes be the ﬁrst responsibility of the Medicaid recipients,” he said. One revived proposal is to move the Mississippi Department of Public Safety headquarters from its 1970s-era building in Jackson, out into suburban Rankin County. Bryant added a new twist, saying he wants a new medical conference center to be built on the site of the public safety building, which is near several hospitals. Bryant said the opening of the Mississippi Civil Rights Museum, in December, was an important step toward racial reconciliation. He praised President Donald Trump for attending the opening — an appearance that drew protests by people who said Trump’s appearance was an affront to those who put their lives in danger to advance civil rights. Bryant said “the horror

of slavery, the indecency of Jim Crow and the dark days of segregation” are all on display at the museum. “We peered into Mississippi’s soul, and saw that it was cleansed of any deceit or malice,” Emily Wagster Pettus he said. “The soul of Mississippi now contained a love for all its people, its traditions and most of all, our future.” He did not mention one issue that continues to divide lawmakers and state residents: The Confederate battle emblem remains on the state ﬂag. Critics see it as racist and supporters see it as a symbol of Southern heritage. Bryant has said repeatedly that if the ﬂag design is to be reconsidered, it should be done in a statewide election.

THE SPIN CYCLE

7 technologies to watch in 2018

listering fast wireless networks, digital assistants everywhere, and a coming out bash for augmented reality. These and other technologies are worth keeping an eye on in 2018, according to USA TODAY. There is sure to be more digital innovations on the horizon in 2018! All of these new technologies will leverage advances in machine learning and artiﬁcial intelligence in a rapidly evolving digital society. 1. 5G You’ve probably heard about the next generation of speedy wireless or 5G for quite some time now, and 2018 is at least when some of you will begin to get a taste of what 5G potentially means. One major early 5G test comes in February at the Olympic Winter Games in South Korea, but 5G trials and deployments are happening across the globe. 2. The familiar digital assistant You’re already BFF with Amazon’s Alexa or the Google Assistant, Google Home speakers, and possibly third party speakers. Such voices not only deliver news and weather, play music and answer basic queries but also increasingly help you voice-enable your smart home. You can expect these and other chatty AI digital assistants – think Microsoft Cortana, Apple’s Siri, Samsung’s Bixby – to continue to echo elsewhere, into TVs, fridges, smart watches, headphones, cars, even the workplace. There’s already been movement in these areas, and at the upcoming CES trade show in Las Vegas, I expect to see numerous examples of further progress. How will the digital assistants evolve? For starters, they’ll sound more human. You’ll come a bit closer to having a real conversation of sorts with them. The Google Assistant, for example, can already now process multiple requests at once. For example, you can say something like “OK Google, turn down the lights and turn up the music,” and have the Assistant oblige. 3. Augmented hearing The most intriguing feature in Google’s new Pixel Buds is real-tine language translation through the Google Translate app. Consider that noise-cancelling technology has been used in headphones for years to drown out sonic distractions in the background. But what if your earphones

could learn which people in a room you want to hear more clearly, and, conversely, which folks you’d like to mute? For such a development to become more of a reality, Bjorn says, earphones will need to be made more aware of our intentions and allow for more direct user control. He also suggests that we may end up sleeping with some earphones, if only to block out the noise from a partner who is snoring. 4. Augmented reality While consumer interest in virtual reality seems to have waned to some extent, augmented reality could pick up steam in 2018. Apple and Google have revved the throttle in their various platforms. Amazon, Facebook and Microsoft are also banking on AR. As a refresher, AR lets you interact with digital characters and objects that appear to be inside your still-visible real life environment. Don’t narrowly think about AR requiring a boost from some killer app like the summer-2016-craze Pokémon Go— though that couldn’t hurt and is certainly possible. Instead, expect to see the technology show up as an added feature on a gaggle of gaming and e-commerce apps that you already regularly use without AR. Meanwhile, despite high proﬁle failures such as Google Glass or even Snap Spectacles, don’t rule out the reappearance of some sort of AR-capable eyewear, though whether that happens in 2018 or later remains to be seen. 5. Rise of robotic companions Even before The Jetsons, robots of all types have long fascinated people of all ages. And now we could be ﬁnally be at the dawn of welcoming them into our homes as companions. Indeed, most robots used in homes today are either toys, or task-oriented – Roomba and other robotic vacuum cleaners. 6. Pushing computing to the edge You don’t have to follow tech closely to recognize the profound impact that cloud computing has had on society during this past decade. Under cloud computing, computers have largely been centralized in the Internet or what is referred to as the cloud. But the proliferation of IoT, connected sensors, autonomous cars, drone delivery, and so forth is driving a hot topic among technologists known as “edge computing,”

where computing gets spread out all over the place, and brings the intelligence locally or closer to the source, largely in the name of speed. No one is suggesting that cloud computing is going away. 7. Biometric security Like it or not, it was a bold move recently when Apple ditched the Touch ID fingerprint scanner on the iPhone X in favor of facial recognition through Face ID. It’s unclear if Touch ID also falls by the wayside on all future iPhone models, but I wouldn’t be shocked were that to be the case. For now, top Samsung Galaxy phones still let you use a fingerprint to authenticate your identify while also providing iris scanning and facial recognition schemes. Amazon shipped 5 billion+ items through Prime in 2017 Amazon announced recently that more new, paid members joined Prime worldwide in 2017 than any other year. It also noted that more than 5 billion items shipped worldwide with Prime in 2017, including via one-day and two-day shipping. The company has never before released details around how many items it has shipped via Prime in a year’s time, and declined to provide last year’s figures for comparison purposes. The closest it got last year was revealing that more than a billion items shipped via Prime and fulfillment by Amazon during the 2016 holidays. To some extent, the increases in mem-

bership and shipments represent the expanded reach of Prime in 2017, and its more recent arrival in key markets – not only its ability to convert online shoppers to paying members. For example, Prime Todd Smith expanded into Mexico, the Netherlands, Luxembourg and Singapore in 2017, in addition to existing markets including the U.S., U.K., Spain, Japan, Italy, India, Germany, France, China, Canada, Belgium and Austria. Contributing to Prime’s growth is because it’s relatively new to one of the world’s biggest markets, India, where it launched in July 2016. Prime’s existence in that country has certainly impacted 2017’s numbers. Prime shipments have also likely been impacted by Amazon’s ability to get its Alexa-powered devices into the home, where they enable easy re-ordering of household staples, like packaged goods, diapers, dog food and more. After the holidays, Amazon announced it sold “tens of millions” of Alexa-enabled devices worldwide over the holidays. That indicates over 20 million Alexa devices have been sold to date, according to various third-party sources.
