At least 3 reported killed during widening protests in Iran sparked by ailing economy

AP News DUBAI, United Arab Emirates (AP) — Widening demonstrations sparked by Iran's ailing economy spread Thursday into the Islamic Republic's rural provinces, with at least three people being killed in the first fatalities reported among security forces and protesters, authorities said.

The deaths may mark the start of a heavier-handed response by Iran’s theocracy over the demonstrations, which have slowed in the capital, Tehran, but expanded elsewhere. The fatalities, one on Wednesday and two on Thursday, occurred in two cities predominantly home to Iran’s Lur ethnic group. Read More

Many memories remain as the Buffalo Bills bid farewell to their long-time home dubbed 'The Ralph'

AP News ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. (AP) — Chris Clark glances out the window overlooking the Buffalo Bills' long-time home, Highmark Stadium, and can still picture what the site resembled before it opened in 1973.

The 73-year-old Clark’s memories go beyond the days of tailgating and smashing of tables, comeback victories and miserable defeats, and before the likes of Josh Allen, Jim Kelly, Bruce Smith and O.J. Simpson ever stepped foot on the artificial field.

In the 1960s, Monsignor Leo McCarthy would send Clark and a bunch of his South Buffalo friends to the abandoned farm field...
