 NASCAR-KENSETH
 
     Kenseth loses appeals
 
     CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) – Matt Kenseth’s two-race suspension will stand.
 
     The driver lost appeals hearings in front of the National Motorsports Appeals Panel and the panel’s final appeals officer.  Kenseth will miss upcoming races at Texas and Phoenix before he’s eligible to return for the Nov. 22 season finale at Homestead-Miami Speedway.
 
     Kenseth was punished for intentionally wrecking Joey Logano over the weekend during the race at Martinsville. NASCAR says it punished Kenseth harshly because his decision to wreck Logano altered the outcome of a race and that is never supposed to happen. Kenseth maintains he was exacting retribution after Logano wrecked him three races earlier, damaging his chances to advance in NASCAR’s playoffs.

In world and national news…

UNDATED (AP) – Kentucky authorities have announced the death of a police officer who was shot in the head by a robbery suspect on Wednesday.

     NORTH LITTLE ROCK, Ark. (AP) – It’s still not known if weather played a role in the crash of a charter bus in Arkansas that killed as many as six people. Authorities say the report of the crash came in just after strong storms passed through the area along Interstate 40 in North Little Rock. Police say the westbound bus left the highway and hit a bridge abutment.
 
     ATHENS, Greece (AP) – France is apparently responding to criticism about an inadequate response to the refugee crisis by starting to bus asylum-seekers from elsewhere in Europe to small towns in the French heartland. The Interior Ministry says that 18 men and one woman are being bused today from Italy to western France. They are among 200 people France is taking from Italy and Greece this month, 300 next month and 400 in January.
 
     CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. (AP) – Astronauts are fixing the air conditioning on the International Space Station today. NASA’s one-year spaceman, Scott Kelly, is back outside the ISS for the work to undo earlier repairs to a leaky cooling line. The ammonia leak has since been plugged another way, so NASA wants the system back in its original configuration. U.S. astronaut Kjell (chehl) Lindgren is helping with the work.
 
     WASHINGTON (AP) – Today’s Labor Department employment report for October will give investors a clue about whether jobs growth is slowing down or not. It also has a bearing on what the Federal Reserve does with interest rates at its December meeting. A FactSet survey predicts 185,000 jobs were added in October and that the unemployment rate remained at 5.1 percent. Any gain above roughly 150,000 jobs would likely keep Federal Reserve policymakers on track for a December interest rate hike.
