Services from airlines to healthcare, shipping and finance were coming back online on Friday after a mistake in a security software update sparked hours-long global computer systems outages, another incident highlighting the vulnerability of the world’s interconnected technologies.
After the outage was resolved, companies were dealing with backlogs of delayed and canceled flights and medical appointments, missed orders and other issues that could take days to resolve. Businesses also face questions about how to avoid future blackouts triggered by technology meant to safeguard their systems.

In Charleston Harbor, where the initiating shots of the Civil War were fired — Fort Sumter is distantly visible — I’m on the site of a former shipping pier known as Gadsden’s Wharf. Here, in the 18th and early 19th centuries, ships carrying tens of thousands of enslaved Africans deposited their human cargo, a population that would, through unthinkable adversity and creative perseverance, utterly transform what “America” meant, and means.

On this spot now, looking a bit like a ship itself, stands the eagerly awaited and long-delayed new International African American Museum. After an almost quarter-century journey hampered by political squalls, economic doldrums, sometimes mutinous crews, and last-minute fogs, this cultural vessel has securely, and handsomely, come to berth here, opening to the public on Tuesday.

Allegheny County police are investigating the death of a Westmoreland County man who was found unresponsive while in police custody.

On July 5 at around 3 a.m., West Mifflin police are called to the area of Worton Boulevard and Pennsylvania Avenue after reports of an intoxicated man trying to enter a home.

When officers arrived, they found a man, 31, who was visibly intoxicated. He was taken into custody on public drunkenness charges and was placed in a holding cell at the West Mifflin police department where he fell asleep, according to police. Police said on July 8, doctors declared the man brain dead. He was pronounced dead on July 10 and the medical examiner’s office ruled his death a homicide.

Allegheny County police said through their investigation, detectives determined that before being taken into custody, the man got into a fight with someone at a home in Versailles and was hit in the face. Police said that person then drove the man to the Uni-Mart on Worton Boulevard and left him there after he regained consciousness.

The investigation is ongoing and detectives are working with the district attorney’s office to determine appropriate charges.
