I'm Lindy Kenyan.
“The judge in the Lindy Clancy case was on the verge of declaring a mistrial, but Clancy's”
defense attorney has asked the judge for an hour to appeal to the Supreme Judicial Court
of Massachusetts for an emergency stay. Prior to the request for the stay, Judge William Selman explained why he was about to declare the mistrial. I would find that under case -- Massachusetts case line statutory law, the jury did not ask to be sent back, which would be a possibility if they had requested it to be sent back
to them. But under the statute in the case law, I don't feel I have any choice but to declare a mistrial. Lindsey Clancy was accused of strangling her three children to death that defense claimed postpartum psychosis.
The U.S. job market rebounded in August as employers added a surprising 162,000 jobs, and P.R. Scott Horsley has details.
The labor force has generally been growing slowly this year, as baby boomers retire
and immigration dries up.
“But last month, we actually saw a pretty big influx of workers.”
More than 600,000 people came off the sidelines in August and joined the workforce. Most of them found jobs, so that's encouraging. The labor department says unemployment stated 4.1%. The White House has launched a new online arcade on its website. And P.R. Scott Horsley reports on the five old school games tied to Trump's agenda.
The games themselves play off of designs and themes of popular games like Tetris. The White House announced the new retro arcade on social media in his series of posts. In one of the posts, the SEGA logo turns into a maga logo. The Tetris game is titled "Build the Wall" where the player stacks Tetris style blocks to prevent people from entering.
Another game, flappy bill, has a bald eagle carrying legislation across the national mall. The player must avoid hitting columns. The objective of the game, "Saving's Tycoon" is to catch and collect cash and prizes to
“quote "fill your kids" Trump accounts, which of course are the tax advantage investment”
accounts launched in July. Franco, or Donas, and P.R. News, the White House. Researchers in Nepal have pulled two workers alive from a hydropower tunnel, nine days after the rental flooding, triggered landslides and wiped out whole villages, Michael Sullivan reports.
Franco said the men were pulled from the tunnel after rescuers heard voices inside and followed the voices to locate the men. Emergency teams are now continuing efforts to find more workers trapped inside that were truly three-eight tunnel. More than 1,200 people are known to have been killed in the floods, with more than 5,000
still missing in both Nepal and China. On Wall Street to last check, the Dow was down 300-4 points. You're listening to NVR.
The nation's second largest school district is blocking all students from using artificial
intelligence on school computers. Mariana Dale from Member Station LAS reports on the new restrictions in the Los Angeles Unified School District. The district is using web filtering software to prevent students from accessing generative AI tools on district-issued laptops and tablets.
PSO to caught Mall is LA Unified's Chief Academic Officer. She says the district will review data and collect feedback about student AI used throughout the school year before revising its policy. This is an emerging technology, and as a school district, as large as ours, we really have to be mindful about implementing so it makes sense for our teachers, for our students,
for our families. There is currently no mechanism or policy to prevent students from using AI on personal devices to complete school work. New York City Public Schools announced this week that AI will be banned in elementary and middle schools.
Friend PR News, I'm Mariana Dale, in Los Angeles. It could be an experiment in trust. Elon Musk has sent dozens of self-driving cybercabs to the streets of Austin, Texas, but these caps have no steering wheels or brake pedals. Company prepares to launch the service in several other cities.
Tesla shares rows on Thursday and part, due to hopes that these taxis will catch on, even though riders will have no way to take control of the vehicles in the event of an emergency. I'm Lynda Canyon, and PR News in Washington. This week on NewsMakers, after more than a decade in comedy, I wasn't sure that we would get here.
Robbie Hoffman is fearless. I had a small feeling, I wasn't sure, and fully or herself. Hello? You can go out and flash. Well, I'm not home now, I'm doing something.
We plunge into comedy and success with Robbie Hoffman on NPR's NewsMakers.
