How to protect your car from excessive heat
SUMMARY: A dangerous heat wave in Tennessee is causing vehicle interiors to reach temperatures over 145°F, with surfaces exposed to sunlight exceeding 195°F, risking damage to dashboards, seats, paint, and engines. State Farm advises parking in shade, using sunshades, regularly cleaning and conditioning interiors, washing and waxing exteriors, and checking tire pressure to avoid blowouts. Preventative maintenance includes ensuring cooling systems and fluid levels are adequate, checking battery health, and servicing air conditioning to prevent overheating. These steps help protect vehicles during extreme heat and reduce the risk of costly damage or breakdowns.

AI Isn’t Killing Jobs—Yet. But Entry-Level Workers and Middle Managers Should Be Watching Closely – The Tennessee Tribune
SUMMARY: AI is reshaping the workforce, but widespread job losses have not materialized. Reports from Goldman Sachs, Brookings, and the World Economic Forum show AI adoption rising among U.S. firms, boosting productivity and firm growth without major labor market disruptions. However, entry-level jobs and certain roles like call centers face disruption, with automation threatening up to 67% of tasks in some fields. Demand for highly skilled, STEM-educated workers is increasing, while non-college-educated roles decline. The shift benefits larger firms and could widen inequality. Experts agree the workforce is undergoing complex change, with uncertainty ahead for workers and policymakers.

Officers convicted in Tyre Nichols federal trial get sentencing dates; judge considers new trial
SUMMARY: Officers Teddarius Bean, Justin Smith, and Demetrius Haley, convicted in the federal Tyre Nichols case, faced sentencing delays after Judge Norris recused himself shortly before the scheduled date, with reasons sealed and unknown. Chief Judge Cheryl Lipman took over, setting new sentencing dates for December. The trial occurred last fall, with two former officers testifying against their colleagues. Sentencings were initially postponed to await the conclusion of the related state trial, which ended in May with Bean, Haley, and Smith acquitted. Extensive case documents and transcripts have complicated proceedings, prompting motions to unseal court records amidst ongoing legal uncertainty.
Five former Memphis Police officers federally convicted on charges related to the death of Tyre Nichols got new sentencing dates on Thursday, but defense attorneys still have a few moves to make before the former officers learn their fates.
