Reggie Bush has been reinstated as the 2005 Heisman Trophy winner more than a decade after Southern California returned the award. Bush gave up the trophy in 2010 following an NCAA investigation that found he received what were impermissible benefits during his time with the Trojans. Heisman Trust President Michael Comerford said the trust considered the enormous changes in college athletics over the last several years that now make some forms of athlete compensation permissible. Bush amassed more than 2,000 yards from scrimmage and scored 18 touchdowns in 2005. He received the fifth most first-place votes in Heisman history.

Boeing has reported a $355 million loss for the first quarter. But the CEO said the results announced on Wednesday aren't the most important issue for the company right now. That's fixing its manufacturing problems, which have been in the spotlight since a door plug blew out of an Alaska Airlines jetliner in January. Separately, government officials in Washington met with the families of people killed when a Boeing 737 Max crashed in Ethiopia in 2019. The families want the Justice Department to revive a criminal charge against the company. Boeing reached a settlement in 2021 that let it avoid prosecution on a charge of defrauding regulators who approved the Max.

Russia has vetoed a U.N. resolution sponsored by the United States and Japan calling on all nations to prevent a dangerous nuclear arms race in outer space, calling it “a dirty spectacle” that cherry picks weapons of mass destruction from all other weapons that should also be banned. The vote in the 15-member Security Council was 13 in favor, Russia opposed and China abstaining. The resolution would have called on all countries not to develop or deploy nuclear arms or other weapons of mass destruction in space, as banned under a 1967 international treaty that included the U.S. and Russia, and to agree to the need to verify compliance. The U.S. and Russian ambassador traded accusations on space weapons.

Chicago's so-called “rat hole” is gone. A Chicago sidewalk landmark some affectionately call the “rat hole” has been removed after city officials determined the section bearing the imprint of an animal was damaged. A spokesperson for the Chicago Department of Transportation says the square section of sidewalk was placed in temporary storage. It contains an impression resembling the outline of a rat — claws, tail and all. But there is a rigorous debate over whether a squirrel is truly responsible. Neighbors in the residential area have complained of noise and mess left by people coming to see the quirky landmark since a social media post spiked interest in January.

A Houston man accused of fatally shooting a 9-year-old girl when he was robbed at a Houston ATM in 2022 has been indicted on a murder charge. Tuesday’s indictment against Tony Earls comes nearly two years after another grand jury declined to indict him in the death of Arlene Alvarez. The girl's mother says the indictment has brought her family some relief. A special prosecutor appointed to the case says an FBI firearms expert concluded Earls was not justified in shooting at a truck carrying Arlene that had been driving by during the robbery. Authorities say Earls has not been arrested and is a fugitive. Earls’ previous attorneys have said their client was only defending himself.

Several relatives of patients who died while awaiting a new liver say they want to know if their loved ones were wrongfully denied a transplant by a Houston doctor accused of manipulating a hospital waitlist. Officials at Memorial Hermann-Texas Medical Center have said they are investigating after finding that a doctor had made “inappropriate changes” in the national database for people awaiting liver transplants. Earlier this month, the hospital halted its liver and kidney programs. The relatives spoke at a news conference Wednesday. The news conference was held by attorneys who have filed for temporary restraining order to prevent Dr. Steve Bynon from deleting or destroying evidence. Bynon did not respond to an email seeking comment.

County commissioners in rural New Mexico have extended authorization of a migrant detention facility in cooperation with federal authorities over objections by advocates for immigrant rights who allege inhumane conditions. A 3-0 vote of the Torrance County commission Wednesday cleared the way for a four-month extension through September of an agreement with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement. The ACLU says it has uncovered documents from ICE that show a 23-year-old Brazilian migrant didn’t receive adequate mental health care prior to his suicide in 2022 at the facility after being denied asylum. County Commissioner Sam Schropp said events nearly two years ago at the detention center don’t reflect current conditions.
