Food ads have long made their subjects look bigger, juicier and crispier than they are in real life. But some consumers say those mouthwatering ads can cross the line into deception, and that’s leading to a growing number of lawsuits. Burger King is the latest company in the crosshairs. In August, a federal judge in Florida refused to dismiss a class action lawsuit that claims Burger King’s ads overstate the amount of meat in its Whopper burger and other sandwiches. But Burger King is far from the only one. Perkins Coie, a law firm that tracks class action suits, said 214 were filed against food and beverage companies last year.

WASHINGTON (AP) — President Joe Biden is heading to Philadelphia for the Tri-State Labor Day Parade. The Democratic president is expected to speak Monday about the importance of unions in the United States and how the economy is recovering from the coronavirus pandemic. Biden likes to say he’s the most pro-union president in history. Biden has used executive actions to promote worker organizing and has authorized federal funding to aid union members’ pensions. Biden also has personally cheered unionization efforts at corporate giants like Amazon. The Tri-State Labor Day Parade and Family Celebration is hosted by the Philadelphia AFL-CIO, composed of more than 100 local labor unions representing more than 150,000 workers.
Geneva Football Drops Season Opener To Carnegie Mellon 31-0

The Golden Tornados ran into a tough challenge in week one at Reeves Stadium in Beaver Falls, Pennsylvania. Geneva struggled to get anything going against PAC favorite Carnegie Mellon. Their opponents however, the Tartans proved to be too much for the Tornados on both sides of the ball, in a one sided matchup which resulted in a 31-0 final score. The Golden Tornados look to rebound next week when they hit the road to play Allegheny College in Meadville on Saturday at 1:00.

Ambridge Defeats Freedom 14-7 On Beaver County Radio
(Photos by Daniel Campbell/Beaver County)
Week one in high school football on Beaver County Radio featured a close matchup between the Ambridge Bridgers and the Freedom Bulldogs at Ambridge High School.
The first half, Friday evening was a hard fought battle for both teams. Ambridge nor Freedom were able to put any points on the board before halftime. In the second half Ambridge was the first to strike, with a rushing touchdown giving the Bridgers a 7-0 lead. Later in the half Ambridge jumped out to a 14-0 advantage. The Freedom Bulldogs refusing to fold, scored a late touchdown cutting the lead to 7. Freedom would also catch a break after Ambridge turned the ball over giving the Bulldogs good field position. However, Freedom was not able to capitalize on the mistake and dropped their week one game against Ambridge by a score of 14-7. Freedom will start getting ready for their upcoming game with Beaver. While Ambridge will travel to Neshannock next Friday.
Here’s photos from the action at Moe Rubenstein Stadium:
Norfolk Southern says a software defect — not a hacker — forced it to park its trains this week
Norfolk Southern believes a software defect — not a hacker — was the cause of the widespread computer outage that forced the railroad to park all of its trains for most of Monday. The railroad said Friday that it traced the problem to a defect in the software one of its vendors was using to perform maintenance on its data storage systems. Both the railroad’s primary and backup systems became unresponsive at the same time. The Atlanta-based railroad reiterated that it hasn’t found any evidence of hacking. Regulators have been scrutinizing Norfolk Southern’s operations ever since one of its trains derailed in East Palestine, Ohio in February and an assortment of toxic chemicals caught fire.
