Nearby: East Rutherford, NJThe U.S. Navy released images of the football uniforms that Midshipmen players will wear in the 127th Army-Navy game, courtesy of Under Armour. The threads pay homage to the history of sailors who served in the branch’s Naval special warfare component, honoring SEALs, special warfare combatant-craft crewmen and Underwater Demolition Teams. “From the earliest Navy Frogmen of World War II to today’s highly trained SEALs and SWCC operators, the uniform pays tribute to generations of service members whose courage, determination, innovation and sacrifice have helped define Naval Special Warfare,” the Navy said in a release. The uniform’s dark blue helmet is emblazoned with images of a Navy SEAL trident, SWCC master warboat and bone frog, which sits on top of the headpiece and represents the World War II-era Underwater Demolition Team frogmen. The jersey’s sleeves feature a version of the Navy Working Uniform Type II camouflage pattern, first rolled out for Naval special warfare operators.

Nearby: East Rutherford, NJIf the goal was to silence rapper Macklemore by preventing him from touring with singer Ed Sheeran, it clearly backfired. Macklemore delivered a monologue in support of Palestinians in Gaza and the West Bank and performed his pro-Palestinian protest song “Hind’s Hall” during a Sept. 4, 2026, concert at MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey, where he was an opening act for Sheeran. Ten days later, Macklemore was dropped from the tour after Robert Kraft, owner of the NFL’s New England Patriots and Gillette Stadium – a future stop on Sheeran’s “Loop” tour – thought the 43-year-old rapper had crossed a line. In a Sept. 14 Instagram post, Macklemore detailed how Kraft had pressured Sheeran to drop Macklemore from the tour and had convinced other stadium owners to prevent him from performing at their venues. Yet the ensuing media coverage sent the rapper’s profile soaring. There was little to no interest in Macklemore’s Sept.

He played basketball and tennis, fished whenever he got the chance, and somewhere along the way started spending time in the kitchen too, following recipes and then changing them to see what happened. He went south for college, earning an undergraduate degree in Business Management from the University of Miami, then stayed on for an MBA in Marketing and Finance. The chemical business was already part of his life before he had a diploma. His father and grandfather had both worked in it, and when Peter joined City Chemical LLC, he was stepping into something that already had two generations behind it. That was more than 47 years ago.

Nearby: New York, NYNEW YORK — Investigators began what could be a long search for the cause of a Brooklyn apartment building collapse that killed eight people as the fire department ended rescue operations Thursday after the last victim was freed from the wreckage. The three-story building gave way while construction workers were digging Wednesday afternoon at an adjacent lot, causing New York City’s mayor to order inspections at about 100 building sites involving companies related to the project. “If there is anyone, or any entity, operating in this city that bears responsibility for what happened, we will hold them fully accountable,” Mayor Zohran Mamdani said during a news conference.
