Funeral held for Chicago-area cop shot last week

Fellow officers, family and the community will gather at a high school northwest of Chicago Monday to honor Lt. Charles Joseph Gliniewicz, a 30-year police veteran who was shot and killed last week while pursuing three suspicious men. Law enforcement officials said Friday they have new video footage that shows people near the area where a police officer was killed. Commander George Filenko said the new video shows images of people police are interested in speaking with, but he stopped short of calling the individuals suspects. Gliniewicz was planning to retire at the end of the month.

Virginia Tech, Ohio State honor journalists killed during broadcast

Ohio State and Virginia Tech will wear helmet stickers during Monday's game in Blacksburg, Va., to pay tribute to the two television journalists who were killed in August. Alison Parker and Adam Ward, staffers at WDBJ-7 in nearby Roanoke, Va., were killed Aug. 26 while conducting a live interview. The stickers will feature the No. 7 with maroon and teal ribbons and the initials of the victims. Ward graduated from Virginia Tech in 2011, and Parker's favorite color was teal. This is the first game of the season for both teams.

Study: Teens use e-cigarettes to vape marijuana

Connecticut teenagers discovered a new way to inhale marijuana — they're using e-cigarette vaporizers, according to a study released Monday. About 27% of the surveyed high school students in the state reported using the device to vaporize marijuana. There haven't been any other studies showing the teens are using e-cigs to vaporize marijuana. And researchers noted that scientists don't fully understand the health effects of e-cig vaporized cannabis.

News Corp rehires CEO who left amid scandal

Rebekah Brooks is returning to News Corps Monday as CEO of its News UK division. The high-ranking role is the same job she left in 2011 amid the investigation stemming from charges that some News Corp journalists in the U.K. hacked the phones of sources, celebrities and politicians. She was acquitted of all charges last year. Her return underscores the trust she engenders from the company's executive chairman, Rupert Murdoch, who had stood by her through the scandal.

Rebekah Brooks, former News International chief executive, talks to members of the media in central London, Thursday, June 26, 2014. Brooks was acquitted after a monthslong trial centering on illegal activity at the heart of Rupert Murdoch's newspaper empire but Former News of the World editor Andy Coulson was convicted of phone hacking. The nearly eight-month trial was triggered by revelations that for years the News of the World used illegal eavesdropping to get stories, listening in on the voicemails of celebrities, politicians and even crime victims.

It's Labor Day and not everyone is celebrating

Around the country, people are holding Labor Day gatherings (and, in some cases, binge watching great TV shows) to mark the traditional end-of-summer holiday. President Obama will arrive Monday morning at the Greater Labor Boston Council's Labor Day breakfast, where he will announce an executive order requiring federal contractors to give their employees paid sick days. He arrives on the same day the Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority workers are planning a rally against privatization. The workers said it was coincidence that the rally is on the same day as the president's visit. USA TODAY's Susan Page recently sat down with Labor Secretary Thomas Perez to talk about stagnant wages, the "gig" economy and why many Americans aren't celebrating this Labor Day.
