A newly formed tropical depression in the southwestern Carib-bean is forecast to strengthen to a hurricane as early as Saturday. This could impact the U.S. Gulf Coast and residents from Louisi-ana to Florida are being warned to monitor the system as it ap-proaches. The Las Vegas shooter’s girlfriend, Marilou Danley, assured
her family she has a "clean conscience" in the wake of Sunday night’s deadly rampage. Sheriff Joseph Lombardo stated that Danley is currently a person of interest. She is not officially in custody and is free to go where she pleases. U.S. stocks inched higher with new economic data, posting the longest winning streak since May. The Dow Jones Industrial Av-erage was up 20 points to 22,662. The Standard & Poor's 500 Index was up 3 points to 2,538, and the NASDAQ Composite Index was up 3 points to 6,535.

EAST TENNESSEE NEWS
The Navy has identified the two pilots killed when their jet
crashed in the Cherokee National Forest near the fish hatchery
and Bald River Falls during a training mission last Sunday. They
were Lt. Patrick Ruth, 31, of Louisiana, and Lt. (J.G.) Wallace
Burch, 25, of Mississippi. Their T-45C aircraft was based at the
Naval Air Station in Meridian, Mississippi.
The Chimney Tops Trail in the Great Smoky Mountains Na-
tional Park will reopen on Friday. The trail has been closed since
last November’s fires that killed 14 people and caused $2 billion
in damage in the Gatlinburg area. Authorities say two juveniles
set a fire along the trail and 80 m.p.h. winds carried the embers
into Gatlinburg.
