The outlook predicts declines in the gross state product which is the measurement of the state\u2019s output, labor force participation and total wages and salaries.

Lance remained in the game after the hit but got more tests done Monday that coach Kyle Shanahan said showed a \u201csmall chip fracture\u201d in the finger.

It&#8217;s likely to be remembered for colossal failures, unfulfilled promises and a frantic final exit that cost the lives of 13 U.S. service members, some barely older than the war. The last U.S. Air Force evacuation flight from Kabul airport late Monday marked the end of a frantic effort to get out Americans, Afghans and others desperate to escape the Taliban&#8217;s return to power 20 years after they were ousted in a U.S.-led invasion. More than 2,400 Americans lost their lives in the long war.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>KABUL, Afghanistan (AP) \u2014 The Taliban now have full control of Kabul\u2019s international airport after the last U.S. plane took off, marking the end of America&#8217;s longest war. Vehicles with armed Taliban fighters raced back and forth along the airport&#8217;s sole runway on the northern military side of the airfield. Before dawn broke on Tuesday, the Taliban walked through hangars on the military side, passing some of the seven CH-46 helicopters the U.S. used in its evacuations before rendering them unusable. On the civilian side of the airport, Taliban fighters draped their white flags over barriers as dozens of suitcases, shoes and clothes were left strewn across the floor from the chaotic evacuation.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>NEW ORLEANS (AP) \u2014 Louisiana communities battered by Hurricane Ida are facing a new danger: the possibility of weeks without power in the stifling, late-summer heat. Ida ravaged the region\u2019s power grid, leaving the entire city of New Orleans and hundreds of thousands of other Louisiana residents in the dark with no clear timeline on when power would return. Louisiana Gov. John Bel Edwards said 25,000 utility workers were in the state to help restore electricity, with more on the way. Still, his office described damage to the power grid as \u201ccatastrophic,\u201d and power officials said it could be weeks before electricity is restored in some spots.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>LUCEDALE, Miss. (AP) \u2014 Two people were killed and at least 10 others were injured after a roadway collapsed in Mississippi on Monday night. Troopers told WDSU-TV that both the east and westbound lanes of Highway 26 in George County west of Lucedale collapsed. Cpl.
