  1. “Ray Rice terminated by team, suspended by NFL after new violent video”

  2. Running back Ray Rice was released by the Baltimore Ravens and suspended indefinitely by the NFL on Monday, the same day a shocking video surfaced showing the NFL star knocking out his future wife with a punch in February. The news release from the Ravens was brief. "The Baltimore Ravens terminated the contract of RB Ray Rice this afternoon," it read. Baltimore Ravens coach John Harbaugh told reporters Monday night that the team had not seen the video before it was released online by TMZ. Harbaugh said he and Ravens general manager Ozzie Newsome called Rice to inform him of the decision. He declined to discuss what Rice said or how he reacted. The NFL players' union didn't immediately respond to CNN's request for comment.

  3. In Other News To help staff the ranks of the Bristol police department, council has agreed to hire more officers. After a lengthy discussion, and somewhat of a compromise, the majority of council voted to hire one full-time officer and three part-timers after the civil service list is ready in a couple of weeks. The hires might come in October. Any other possible hires will have to wait until budget season next year. You should get some more relief at the gas pump soon, as AAA expects gasoline to drop below $3 per gallon. Why? Demand for gasoline traditionally drops at this time of year and refineries begin producing less expensive winter-blend gas, AAA Mid-Atlantic spokeswoman Jenny M. Robinson said. "If we can get through September without any major refinery or overseas problems, we should see more gas stations drop below $3 per gallon this fall.” The national average for a gallon of unleaded regular is about $3.45 per gallon. Penn State is back in the bowl business. The NCAA on Monday lifted the on-the-field sanctions placed on the Penn State football team for the Jerry Sandusky scandal, including immediately eliminating the postseason ban that had two more seasons left and restoring scholarships next season.
