The award-winning actor James Earl Jones died Monday at his home in Dutchess County, New York. He was 93.

Deadline was the first to report the news, which was confirmed by Jones’ representatives at Independent Artist Group.

The prolific actor’s signature deep, rumbling voice gave life to iconic movie characters, such as Darth Vader in “Star Wars” and Mufasa in both the 1994 and 2019 versions of Disney’s “The Lion King.”

USPS Wants To Cut More Costs — And Some Mail Delivery Could Get Slower

The U.S. Postal Service on Thursday said it needs to shave more costs from its operations to get into better financial shape. To do that, the postal agency wants to overhaul its delivery logistics, resulting in some customers likely seeing a slowdown in their mail delivery.

The new plan, which will be filed with the USPS’ regulatory commission, comes about three years after the mail service embarked on a 10-year plan to stanch billions of dollars in losses and put the agency on the path to profitability. The 10-year plan, implemented by Postmaster Louis DeJoy, also slowed delivery standards, with the service guaranteeing five-day delivery instead of its previous three-day delivery window.

The proposed changes will shave about $3 billion a year, the USPS said on Thursday. But, it added, “Depending on location, time and distance, expected time to deliver will increase for some ZIP code pairs.”

The USPS has also boosted the price of Forever stamps several times within the past few years, prompting some critics to say that customers are paying more for worse service. With the proposed changes, the slower service could be felt by rural areas and for mail that needs to travel long distances, DeJoy told the Washington Post.

Susan Lorincz was found guilty of killing her neighbor  Ajike “A.J.” Owens

A white Florida woman was convicted last Friday (August 10) of manslaughter in the fatal shooting of a Black neighbor after the jury rejected her claims that she fired through a metal door in self-defense amid a dispute over children playing outside her home.

The all-white jury in Ocala, Fla., found 60-year-old Susan Lorincz guilty after 2½ hours of deliberation. Lorincz faces up to 30 years in prison at sentencing.

She had claimed self-defense when she fired a single shot with a .380-caliber handgun through her front door on June 2, 2023, killing 35-year-old Ajike “A.J.” Owens.

The confrontation was the latest in a dispute between the two neighbors over Owens’ children playing in a grassy area near both of their houses.

Prosecutors said Owens had come to Lorincz’s home after Owens’ children complained that Lorincz had allegedly thrown roller skates and an umbrella at them amid a long-running annoyance at their boisterous play outside.

The family stated Monday that ‘they were at  peace with the verdict two weeks  ago  ago. “
