Oregon teacher fought school attacker before armed dad killed suspect– www.bbc.co.uk

EXCERPT:
An Oregon teacher threw her mobile phone before she tackled and attempted to disarm a teenager who opened fire on a special educational needs class.
As she tried to wrestle a shotgun off him on the floor of the classroom – where three children and a teacher were killed – a bystander armed with a pistol ran inside and killed the teen.
The bystander, a father of two girls at the school, had been driving past Silver Rail Elementary in Bend at lunchtime on Thursday when he saw the suspect firing in the school’s car park and then shooting through a window to enter.
Police said the 16-year-old suspected attacker used to be a student at the school.
Police say he had been armed with about 44 more rounds of shotgun ammunition when he was stopped. He fired as many as 15 rounds in the class.
“To the people who showed courage in the face of such violence and intervened to prevent this tragedy from being any worse, we owe you a debt of gratitude,” Bend Police Chief Mike Krantz said.
Scientists discover a natural compound that could protect the brain from too much salt– www.sciencedaily.com
News Source
EXCERPT:
Consuming too much salt can affect more than blood pressure. Growing evidence suggests that excessive salt intake may also interfere with memory, thinking, and emotional well-being. High salt (HS) consumption is already a major public health concern because of its connection to hypertension, but its potential effects on the brain make finding ways to reduce the damage even more important.
Researchers in Japan have identified a promising possibility in LPC70, a compound derived from soy. Previous research found that this ingredient could reduce high blood pressure and cognitive problems associated with a high-salt diet (HSD) in mice. The latest study takes a closer look at how it works, revealing that the compound influences important chemical signals in the brain and kidneys.
How a Soy Compound May Counter the Effects of Excess Salt
The research centers on prostaglandins (PGs), signaling molecules made from a fatty acid called arachidonic acid (AA). These substances act much like local hormones, helping regulate essential functions throughout the body.
In the cardiovascular system, prostaglandins help control blood pressure by balancing the widening and narrowing of blood vessels. Their effects in the brain are more complicated. Depending on which receptors they activate, they can trigger signals that either protect nerve cells or contribute to harmful processes, potentially affecting memory, thinking, and emotional responses.
LPC70 is a form of soy lysolecithin in which lysophosphatidylcholine (LPC) accounts for more than 70% of the phospholipids. Although earlier experiments showed that LPC70 could ease salt-related hypertension and cognitive difficulties, scientists had not fully understood the mechanisms responsible, particularly its influence on prostaglandin signaling.
To investigate, a research team led by Professor Akihiro Mouri and Dr. Hisayoshi Kubota, working with Dr. Kazuhiro Kagotani, examined how LPC70 affected these signaling pathways in mice consuming a high-salt diet.
Dr. Kubota, the study’s first author, played a central role in the experiments. He assessed blood pressure, monitored behavioral changes, and analyzed molecular activity associated with prostaglandins. His work helped clarify how LPC70 produces different effects in the organs involved in salt-related cardiovascular and cognitive problems.
Prof. Mouri and Dr. Kubota are affiliated with the Department of Regulatory Science for Evaluation and Development of Pharmaceuticals & Devices at Fujita Health University Graduate School of Medical Science, as well as the International Center for Brain Science (ICBS) at Fujita Health University in Japan. Dr. Kagotani is affiliated with Tsuji Oil Mills Co., Ltd, in Japan and the Tsuji Health and Beauty Science Laboratory at Mie University, Japan.
Trump Threatens Jail Time for California Officials Over Alleged Noncitizen Voters › American Greatness– amgreatness.com

EXCERPT:
President Donald Trump is warning California election officials they could face lengthy prison sentences if they count ballots cast by suspected illegal aliens and noncitizens in the upcoming midterm elections.
“They will all go to jail for a long period of time!!!” Trump declared Friday on Truth Social, sharing a Department of Justice letter warning Los Angeles County officials of potential criminal consequences for allowing illegal votes to be counted.
The warning follows a federal lawsuit filed Thursday against California after the Justice Department provided election officials with citizenship data identifying approximately 20,000 registered voters flagged by the Department of Homeland Security as possible noncitizens.
Federal officials gave California 48 hours to compare the names against state voter records and requested that ballots associated with individuals whose citizenship could not be verified be set aside pending confirmation.
The administration maintains that knowingly allowing noncitizens to vote in federal elections violates federal law and could expose election officials to criminal prosecution.

PARIS — France’s interior minister offered his resignation over the weekend’s rioting and looting in several major cities, but President Emmanuel Macron asked him to stay to respond to police needs in an emergency situation, Macron’s office said Monday.
Macron refused Laurent Nuñez’s resignation “given the need for continued command of law enforcement in the current context,” according to the statement.
He instructed Nuñez “to take all necessary steps to ensure full transparency about the failures in planning and intelligence-gathering that led to the violence,” Macron’s office said.
Macron also asked for the introduction of “new policing tactics on the ground as quickly as possible” to put an end to violent events.
On Sunday evening, groups of people set fires to trash bins, bicycles and other objects in the streets and looted businesses in Paris, Lyon, Marseille and other cities, a day after major violence erupted Saturday during nationwide protests against rising living costs and poor conditions in schools. At least 2,400 people were arrested across the country.
When Does Religious Belief Become Hate Speech in California? – PJ Media– pjmedia.com
News Source
EXCERPT:
California’s next workplace lesson comes with an uncomfortable question: When does a religious belief become “hate speech”?
Gov. Gavin Newsom signed Assembly Bill 1803 on September 27. Beginning Jan. 1, 2028, employers covered by California’s harassment-training law must teach workers to recognize, report, and confront certain workplace remarks.
The legislation gives employers a new assignment but leaves a contentious phrase open to interpretation.
The law addresses workplace speech that “vilifies, humiliates, or incites hatred” based on protected characteristics, including religion, sexual orientation, and gender identity. Existing training already covers harassment involving gay and transgender employees. AB 1803 adds no separate course or mandatory hours, and employers may write their own lessons. It even says training on unlawful harassment and abusive conduct can satisfy the new requirement.
Those limits matter, but so does the lack of a precise statutory definition of the speech the bill names.
Consider two employees at a California business. One is a Christian who says their church teaches marriage is between a man and a woman. The other is Muslim and expresses the same religious conviction.

Vice President JD Vance revealed “there’s a chance” he won’t run for president in 2028 — and second lady Usha and the couple’s four young kids could help make the decision for him.
Vance — the frontrunner to succeed Trump as Republican nominee — acknowledged during a CBS News town hall in Michigan that he could sit-out the next election.

GOP Lawmaker Calls For Investigation After Rubio Says Ukraine’s Starlink Slowdown ‘Sort Of Happened’– dailycaller.com

EXCERPT:
Republican Ohio Rep. Mike Turner said on Sunday that Secretary of State Marco Rubio’s explanation for Ukraine’s Starlink slowdown is not good enough.
When CBS News host Margaret Brennan asked on “Face the Nation” whether “it sort of happened” was a sufficient explanation, Turner, who sits on the House Armed Services Committee, said, “Absolutely not,” and called for a congressional investigation. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said Saturday that Ukraine’s use of the SpaceX satellite network remains partially restricted, Axios reported.
“Secretary Rubio said no one at the White House ordered it to be slowed down this week so that drones couldn’t use it. But effectively, that was the outcome,” Brennan said before playing Rubio’s remarks.
Rubio said “nobody ordered that Starlink speed to be slowed down. It sort of happened. But my understanding is it’s been restored.” He made the remarks Saturday evening before leaving on a trip to India, according to Axios.
“Absolutely not. I mean, this is something where there needs to be an investigation. There needs to be a congressional investigation,” Turner said.

Mark Carney makes closing argument to Alberta against path to independence from Canada– fortune.com

EXCERPT:
Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney made a final appeal to voters considering a path toward independence in his home province of Alberta on Friday, warning that a referendum is a dangerous gamble at a time of growing threats to Canada’s sovereignty.
With U.S. President Donald Trump waging a trade war and threatening to make Canada the 51st state, Carney warned that the referendum comes at the “worst possible time” and urged Albertans not to take the outcome for granted.
“Don’t let anyone tell you this is already decided. Turnout will determine the outcome,” Carney told a pro-Canada rally in Edmonton, where he grew up.
“This is not a game. This is not poker. A vote against Canada is a dangerous bluff that will lead to years of deep uncertainty and lost opportunities for Albertans and Canadians,” he said.

GOP senator rebels against Trump’s ‘beyond irresponsible’ new war ‘capitulation’– www.rawstory.com
News Source
EXCERPT:
Sen. Thom Tillis (R-N.C.) is furious that President Donald Trump put sweeping new Russia sanctions on hold. Trump signed those sanctions into law only last month.
“Beyond irresponsible,” Tillis wrote on X Saturday. “What part of enforcing a law passed 86-11 by the Senate does the President and his advisors not understand?”
“It’s unconscionable that this administration is capitulating to a Russian dictator who illegally invaded Ukraine and butchers innocent civilians every single day,” he added.
Trump signed an executive order Friday that pauses the package. He told Congress the move was in the national interest, the Associated Press reported. The White House didn’t immediately say how, and the order came before the sanctions took effect, according to CNBC.
The law is named for the late Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.), a longtime Russia hawk who died in July. It targets Russian officials, banks and the “shadow fleet” of tankers that carries Russian energy. It also tells the president to put tariffs of up to 100% on the biggest buyers of Russian oil and gas.

Anthropic Unveils Next-Gen Multi-Agent Orchestration Architecture: Claude Now Generates Self-Written Programs to Manage AI Agents– eu.36kr.com
News Source
EXCERPT:
In a multi-agent system, tasks can be assigned to different agents for parallel completion. However, after task splitting, a set of orchestration mechanism is still required to clarify who is responsible for coordinating execution, delivering results, and deciding which agent to invoke in the next step.
Anthropic has recently proposed a new implementation approach: Claude generates an orchestration program based on task requirements, which is responsible for launching sub-agents, connecting different stages, processing returned results, and then sending the execution status back to the main agent. Part of the coordination work that previously required continuous participation of the main agent can thus be completed by background programs.
On October 9, Anthropic launched Dynamic Workflows for Claude Managed Agents, which is currently in Beta stage. On October 12, at the workshop of AI Engineer New York 2026, Anthropic technicians CJ Avilla and Harrison Stall further introduced this mechanism.
In the conference sharing, Anthropic engineers used the evolution process of Unix and Linux projects from individual development to large-scale collaboration to illustrate that as more and more agents participate in software development, task organization and coordination itself will become a bottleneck. Dynamic Workflows is the new mechanism Anthropic has tried for this purpose.

U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent warned Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy on Sunday to “be careful” in public statements about U.S. support for Ukraine.
U.S.-provided Starlink internet was recently restricted in Ukraine, hindering the war-torn country’s ability to respond to Russian assaults. Ukraine uses Starshield, the military and government-controlled version of the commercial Starlink, to conduct military operations.
In an earlier interview on NBC’s “Meet the Press,” Zelenskyy said he believed the U.S. government was responsible for the slowdown, and that Ukraine was “blocked” from U.S. intelligence for a period of time. Zelenskyy said Starshield-linked vehicles and drones are still being restricted in speed.
Bessent cautioned Zelenskyy about making those claims.
“President [Donald] Trump and Secretary [Marco] Rubio have categorically said that no one under the Trump administration did that, and I think it is very reckless for President Zelenskyy to make such a charge,” Bessent said on “Meet the Press.”

That an Islamist like Abdulraman Mohamed El-Sayed could be elected to the U.S. Senate in any state is a prime example. Islam rejects the separation of Church and State. An Islamist’s loyalty is to Islam, family, and tribe, never a nation. Here are several other quotes from Saad, who hopes to soon become an American citizen:
The Democratic Party in the United States has been captured by the parasitic mind virus, with leaders exploiting white guilt and emotional past to maintain power.

Gavin Newsom hobbles his 2028 bid before it launches– www.dailykos.com

EXCERPT:
A group of ballot measures this fall may end up weighing heavily in the 2028 Democratic presidential primaries.
In June, California Gov. Gavin Newsom came out firmly against Proposition 40, a onetime tax of 5% on the wealth of billionaires living in the state. If the initiative passes, most of its new tax revenue would fund healthcare, yet there are real concerns about a critical tax base fleeing the Golden State. And in announcing his opposition, Newsom simultaneously backed a national tax on billionaires, a ploy to forestall criticism from progressives ahead of his expected bid for the presidency in 2028. That way, at least in his mind, he gets to have his cake and eat the rich too.
That position may have been defensible, but Newsom has now chosen to fully align himself with the billionaire class by endorsing Proposition 42, a competing measure that would nullify the wealth tax and ban the state from passing future taxes like it.
And if the polling proves to be accurate, the Golden State may soon pass both ballot measures … as well as Proposition 41, a second billionaire-backed measure aimed at nixing the wealth tax. This other measure would require new tax proposals to adhere to California’s annual spending limit, but the wealth tax doesn’t do that, meaning it would be automatically nullified.
Regarding the wealth tax, 44.9% of California voters are in favor of it, while 42.8% are opposed, in an average of eight polls conducted since the start of August, as of Friday afternoon.

A Concord kindergarten teacher is seeking to reverse her 2025 dismissal, alleging the principal of Thoreau Elementary School used artificial intelligence to write the report which called for her to be fired.
Christine Apollos, who taught at the school for over 20 years, used AI detection software GPTZero to support her allegation during the arbitration process.
The Concord-Carlisle School District and Principal Justin Sparks, however, contend only an AI grammar checker was used and that the dismissal followed a series of underwhelming performance reviews.
The arbitrator upheld the dismissal in an Aug. 27 decision and put “no weight” on the AI allegation. But, the way the arbitrator allegedly reached that conclusion — using two AI platforms to research the validity of GPTZero without notifying either party — could be a violation of their neutrality, the complaint says.
