Pope Francis was in New York City from Sept. 24-26, 2015, making stops at the United Nations, St. Patrick’s Cathedral, Madison Square Garden and more. The pontiff began his historic trip Sept. 19 in Cuba. On Sept. 22 he traveled to Washington, D.C., where he stayed until Sept. 24. His journey wrapped up in Philadelphia on Sept. 26-27.
Pope Francis closed out his historic nine-day mission to Cuba and the United States with an extraordinary Mass in the streets of downtown Philadelphia Sunday before an estimated crowd of nearly 1 million worshippers -- a gathering that the pontiff called 'a miracle.'
'The Holy Father likes to have a direct control over the message he gives,' said the Rev. Manuel Dorantes, a U.S.-based assistant to the Vatican's spokesman. Bart Jones has the story.
The pope broke new ground in the Catholic Church's long struggle to respond to a damaging clergy sex-abuse scandal with his unqualified promise, Paul Moses writes.
Read about the scene as the pontiff departed, see the best photos from his U.S. visit, get notable quotes from his papacy and much more in Newsday's Pope Francis Visit section.
At a Philadelphia-area seminary, the pope met in private with survivors of sex abuse and then talked with bishops separately about the scandal and extolled the virtues of family life.
At the birthplace of American democracy, the pope gave an impassioned call for religious liberty and saluted immigrants, telling them, 'Don't ever be ashamed of your traditions.'
Riveted Catholics listened and laughed as an animated Pope Francis described the joys and struggles of family life before a crowd of thousands filling a main boulevard of Philadelphia.
Like his namesake saint from Assisi, Pope Francis likes to shock people to get his message across. Paul Moses explores the life of a church leader who has been full of surprises.
As head of the Catholic Church and by the force of his personality, Pope Francis has emerged as one of the world’s most influential and energetic leaders. Readers told us what messages they wanted to deliver to the pope.
Silence, punctuated only by cascading water, the occasional click of a camera or a child's cry, fell as the pope fixed his gaze on an avalanche of names.
Pope Francis celebrated Mass at the most sacred Catholic shrine on the Communist-led island, telling the faithful to live a 'revolution of tenderness.'

Virginia Tech researchers have developed a
5-star helmet rating system
that has become the industry standard.
A Newsday examination found Long Island high schools have at least 885 1-star and 2-star helmets in circulation.
Experts call these “low performers” at reducing the risk of concussion.
5-star helmets are considered the best at reducing head acceleration within the helmet on impact.
Riddell VSR4Riddell says this helmet, introduced in 1992, “was the most advanced helmet in the marketplace for many years.” With foam padding on the interior, this was the most common helmet worn in the NFL as recently as 2010. Riddell discontinued sales in May 2011, the same month Virginia Tech released its ratings. There are 343 in circulation on Long Island.
Schutt Air AdvantageIntroduced in 2001, it was designed to be lighter and had a smaller outer shell than most helmets. Helmet designs since have become larger, often with more room for padding on the inside, to better manage energy. Schutt says it discontinued this helmet in 2011. There are 542 in circulation on Long Island.
Schutt DNA Pro+This helmet’s shell is slightly smaller and therefore does not manage energy on low-impact hits as well as its others in Virginia Tech’s testing, Schutt says. This helmet is the third generation of a model released in 2003. Schutt stopped manufacturing this model last month. There are 666 in circulation on Long Island.
Riddell RevolutionRiddell says this was the first helmet designed to reduce concussions. Introduced in 2002, its polycarbonate shell is wider and extended further along the jaw line than its predecessors. Riddell said last month it will no longer manufacture this helmet. There are 3,028 in circulation on Long Island.
Riddell SpeedFlexIntroduced last year, the SpeedFlex features flexibility in certain portions of the helmet’s shell and facemask, which Riddell says reduces impact force transfer to the athlete. There are 154 in circulation on Long Island.
A typical high school football player takes roughly 650 hits to the head per season
According to researchers at Michigan and Purdue
At impacts equal to car crashes of 15 to 35 MPHAccording to Dr. Timothy Gay, University of Nebraska physics professor
“It was the scariest moment of my life.” – Pam O’Donnell, on seeing her son, Sachem North QB Michael O’Donnell, motionless on the field after suffering a concussion in a 2012 game.
Experts say the football helmet is the last line of defense
to protect players from head injuries.
AIR FLOWHoles in the helmet’s shell allow for better air flow to allow for heat to escape.
SHELLA helmet’s shell is typically made of polycarbonate to best handle the force of an impact.
PADDINGPadding cushions the head on impact and decreases head acceleration. Each manufacturer uses different material.
CHINSTRAPKeeping the chinstrap tight is important for securing a helmet’s proper fit on the athlete’s head.
FACEMASKDifferent positions tend to use different style facemasks for better visibility.
CHIN CUPThe chin cup should be firmly placed on a player’s chin when it’s strapped to the helmet.
AIR FLOWHoles in the helmet’s shell allow for better air flow to allow for heat to escape.
SNAP BUCKLEThe chin strap is secured by a snap clip so players can easily get in and out of their helmet.
FACEMASK CLIPA facemask is screwed into the helmet so that it remains tight.

Pope Francis will be in New York City from Sept. 24 to 26, visiting the United Nations, St. Patrick’s Cathedral, Madison Square Garden and more. Find details on the very limited tickets for the pope’s events at popefrancisnyc.org. The pontiff began his historic trip Sept. 19 in Cuba, where he remained until flying to Washington, D.C., on Sept. 22, where he will remain until the 24th. His last stop is Philadelphia, from Sept. 26 to 27.
As the pope prepares to address Congress and the United Nations, what is the message you want him to deliver? Send us yours -- and it may appear on the Seventh Avenue Marquee at Madison Square Garden before the papal Mass there.
Busy schedule includes high-profile speech at the United Nations' General Assembly, meeting with immigrants and refugees and visit to the National September 11 Memorial & Museum.

Well, the way they make shows is, they make one show. That show’s called a pilot. Then they show that show to the people who make shows, and on the strength of that one show they decide if they’re going to make more shows. Some pilots get picked and become television programs. Some don’t, become nothing. She starred in one of the ones that became nothing.

You see? It’s curious. Ted did figure it out – time travel. And when we get back, we gonna tell everyone. How it’s possible, how it’s done, what the dangers are. But then why fifty years in the future when the spacecraft encounters a black hole does the computer call it an ‘unknown entry event’? Why don’t they know? If they don’t know, that means we never told anyone. And if we never told anyone it means we never made it back. Hence we die down here. Just as a matter of deductive logic.
You think water moves fast? You should see ice. It moves like it has a mind. Like it knows it killed the world once and got a taste for murder. After the avalanche, it took us a week to climb out. Now, I don’t know exactly when we turned on each other, but I know that seven of us survived the slide… and only five made it out. Now we took an oath, that I’m breaking now. We said we’d say it was the snow that killed the other two, but it wasn’t. Nature is lethal but it doesn’t hold a candle to man.p>

There were 403 workplace homicides in 2014, one fewer than the year before but down 35.8 percent from the 628 killings in 2007.
Nationwide, Asians and women were most affected by homicides at the workplace last year. About 24 percent of Asians killed at work were victims of homicide, while the average rate for all workers was 7 percent. In addition, women made up about half the homicide victims although they account for only 9 percent of all work-related fatalities.
Workplace homicides in U.S. 2007-2014
Local breakdowns of 2014 workplace homicides will be available next year. In the New York metro area, the number of workplace homicides in 2013 hit a low in the past decade with 23 deaths.
The New York metro area, defined by the BLS, covers parts of New York, New Jersey, Long Island and Pennsylvania.
Workplace homicides in N.Y. metro 2007-2013
Experts say patterns that explain changes in workplace violence from year to year are hard to define. Various factors account for the violence, and a single event with high fatalities, such as a mass-shooting, can spike the rate.
For example, from 2012 and 2013, the workplace homicide rate in the D.C.-Arlington, Va., metro area quadrupled following a mass shooting at the Washington Navy Yard that left 12 people dead. In the New York metro area, the homicide rate dropped 40 percent during the same period.
“There is some variability year to year,” Bruce Bergman, an economist with Bureau of Labor Statistics said. “But unlike a sample survey, these numbers are not estimates… Each number is an incident where someone died.”
The BLS compiles the fatal-injury report based on media accounts and death certificates, in addition to self-reported administrative records from employers.
About 17 percent of all workplace fatalities nationwide were caused by intentional violence by others or suicides in 2013, according to another report with local breakdowns. the D.C.-Arlington, Va., metro area had the highest rate of workplace violence, making up for 41 percent of all fatalities. For the New York area one in four fatalities came from workplace violence.
2013 workplace fatalities by types in metro areas
“There has been an increase in homicides that involve co-workers and associates nationwide while those involving robbers or strangers decreased,” Bergman said.
In 2011, 49 homicides nationwide were committed by current or former work associates; in 2013 there were 74: a 51 percent increase.
Since 2010, fewer people have died at work of homicides in New York metro area. The latest reported incident took place in August 2015 when a former federal employee fatally shot a security guard and himself in a lower Manhattan.
Rate of workplace homicides to all fatalities in N.Y. metro
Historical data tracking workplace homicides nationwide from 1997 to 2010 — a separate report with more details — indicates that workplace homicides have affected women disproportionately, more commonly in sales and protective service industry such as fire department, and that victims tend to hold managerial positions.
More men died at workplaces than women, making up 92 percent of workplace fatalities in 2014 since most injury- or accident-prone industries such as transportation, construction and protective services workforce are made up of male workers.
Women, however, were the victims of workplace homicides two-and-a-half times more often than men in 2013. For women, homicides were the second-highest contributor, after roadway incidents, for fatalities at work but second to last for men. In addition, more than one-third of assailants for homicides targeting women were relatives or domestic partners; for men, one percent of all homicides were committed by family members.

“The distinct nature about workplace violence is that the victims can’t really escape. They have to go to work,” said Mia Fernandez, the executive director for the National Center for Victims of Crime, a D.C.-based advocacy group.
“Workplace crime against women tends to be highly targeted and planned,” Fernandez said.
In the New York metro area, 20 percent of work fatalities involving women were homicides since 2011, whereas for men it was 16 percent.
Industries where homicides were the leading cause of workplace fatalities include sales and protective service occupations. In the New York metro area, sales-related occupations made up about one-third of homicides victims since 2011.

While the breakdown of overall fatalities by race was proportionate to the size of each group — more whites died at work since they make up a greater portion of the working population — blacks and Asians were most affected by workplace homicides; nearly two out of five African-American workers killed at workplaces were victims of homicides.

Hard Knocks Helmets and concussions on Long Island
A typical high school football player takes roughly 650 hits to the head per season
According to researchers at Michigan and Purdue
At impacts equal to car crashes of 15 to 35 MPHAccording to Dr. Timothy Gay, University of Nebraska physics professor
“It was the scariest moment of my life.” – Pam O’Donnell, on seeing her son, Sachem North QB Michael O’Donnell, motionless on the field after suffering a concussion in a 2012 game.
Experts say the football helmet is the last line of defense
to protect players from head injuries.
AIR FLOWHoles in the helmet’s shell allow for better air flow to allow for heat to escape.
SHELLA helmet’s shell is typically made of polycarbonate to best handle the force of an impact.
PADDINGPadding cushions the head on impact and decreases head acceleration. Each manufacturer uses different material.
CHINSTRAPKeeping the chinstrap tight is important for securing a helmet’s proper fit on the athlete’s head.
FACEMASKDifferent positions tend to use different style facemasks for better visibility.
CHIN CUPThe chin cup should be firmly placed on a player’s chin when it’s strapped to the helmet.
AIR FLOWHoles in the helmet’s shell allow for better air flow to allow for heat to escape.
SNAP BUCKLEThe chin strap is secured by a snap clip so players can easily get in and out of their helmet.
FACEMASK CLIPA facemask is screwed into the helmet so that it remains tight.

Virginia Tech researchers have developed a
5-star helmet rating system
that has become the industry standard.
A Newsday examination found Long Island high schools have at least 885 1-star and 2-star helmets in circulation.
Experts call these “low performers” at reducing the risk of concussion.
5-star helmets are considered the best at reducing head acceleration within the helmet on impact.
Riddell VSR4Riddell says this helmet, introduced in 1992, “was the most advanced helmet in the marketplace for many years.” With foam padding on the interior, this was the most common helmet worn in the NFL as recently as 2010. Riddell discontinued sales in May 2011, the same month Virginia Tech released its ratings. There are 343 in circulation on Long Island.
Schutt Air AdvantageIntroduced in 2001, it was designed to be lighter and had a smaller outer shell than most helmets. Helmet designs since have become larger, often with more room for padding on the inside, to better manage energy. Schutt says it discontinued this helmet in 2011. There are 542 in circulation on Long Island.
Schutt DNA Pro+This helmet’s shell is slightly smaller and therefore does not manage energy on low-impact hits as well as its others in Virginia Tech’s testing, Schutt says. This helmet is the third generation of a model released in 2003. Schutt stopped manufacturing this model last month. There are 666 in circulation on Long Island.
Riddell RevolutionRiddell says this was the first helmet designed to reduce concussions. Introduced in 2002, its polycarbonate shell is wider and extended further along the jaw line than its predecessors. Riddell said last month it will no longer manufacture this helmet. There are 3,028 in circulation on Long Island.
Riddell SpeedFlexIntroduced last year, the SpeedFlex features flexibility in certain portions of the helmet’s shell and facemask, which Riddell says reduces impact force transfer to the athlete. There are 154 in circulation on Long Island.
