Air Travel Tips for Seniors With Health Mobility Issues

Younger generations have dropped the old ways and aren't living as long.

News of the Day

Mississippi’s capital is under a boil water order after E. coli bacteria is found in city’s supply

  • Mississippi health officials told residents in the state’s capital to boil their tap water Thursday after traces of E. coli bacteria were found in the city’s supply — a result the manager of Jackson’s long-troubled water system disputed while calling it a devastating setback for rebuilding public trust.

  • The boil water notice, which officials also imposed in the Jackson suburb of Flowood, was issued just days before the expected arrival of a blast of cold weather that could further disrupt the local water infrastructure. The bacteria’s presence indicates that the water may be contaminated with human or animal waste, the state health department said.
