5 things

1?? Steel deal

US Steel is shutting down a mill in Illinois this November, but the 800 workers will keep their jobs — for now — thanks to an agreement the company reached with President Donald Trump’s administration. The deal included job protections and production guarantees.

2?? Pig organs

Scientists continue to make progress with research on how well those organs might perform in humans, and now they’re ready for the next step. A biotech company said the Food and Drug Administration gave the green light for human trials involving pig kidneys.

3?? High-speed rail

“NextGen Acela” trains just arrived in the northeastern US travel corridor with their modern design, more seats and an enhanced passenger experience. They’re capable of reaching 160 mph, but outdated American tracks mean that’s rarely possible.

4?? Amazon perks

Prepare to pay up if you’re sharing a Prime membership with a family member or friend outside your household. The tech giant is cracking down on one of its most generous benefits.

5?? Cool cuts

“If you look good, you feel good. If you feel good, you play good.” Barbers are an essential part of helping athletes look their best and stay at the top of their game.
