Doritos and Cheetos dial back the bright orange in new versions without artificial ingredients
Doritos and Cheetos are getting a makeover. PepsiCo said on Thursday that it’s launching toned-down versions of its bright orange snacks that won't have any artificial colors or flavors. Doritos and Cheetos Simply NKD ae set to hit store shelves on Dec. 1. It’s part of a broader shift underway at PepsiCo, which announced in April that it would accelerate a planned transition to using natural colors in its foods and beverages. Dye-free doesn’t mean Doritos and Cheetos Simply NKD will be colorless. Instead, they’re just a lighter color, like a tortilla chip. PepsiCo launched its Simply line in 2002, but unlike the new Doritos and Cheetos, those chips aren't designed to taste like the originals.
Relic from the wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald is returned, plus $600,000 from Michigan
DETROIT (AP) — The state of Michigan has agreed to return a life ring from the famous Edmund Fitzgerald shipwreck to its owner. The rare relic had become a key part of a settlement in a lawsuit that had nothing to do with the Edmund Fitzgerald. State police backed away from the initial deal after The Associated Press reported on it in October. Larry Orr says he will get the life ring back — and Michigan will still pay $600,000 to settle his federal lawsuit over police misconduct. The misconduct case had no connection to what Orr found on shore after the ship sank in Lake Superior in 1975.

Bible described as the ‘Mona Lisa of illuminated manuscripts’ goes on display in Rome
ROME (AP) — One of the most spectacular examples of Renaissance illuminated manuscripts is going on rare public display as part of the Vatican’s Holy Year celebrations. The 15th century Borso D’Este Bible is known for its miniature paintings in gold and Afghan lapis lazuli. It was unveiled Thursday in the Italian Senate, where it will remain on display until Jan. 16. It is usually kept in a safe at a library in Modena and is rarely exhibited publicly; it was transported to Rome under heavy security. The Bible was created between 1455 and 1461. The Italian Culture Ministry considers it one of the highest expressions of miniature art “that unites sacred value, historic relevance, precious materials and refined aesthetics.”
Bernie Kosar undergoes 'aggressive procedures' as he awaits liver transplant
CLEVELAND (AP) — Bernie Kosar has undergone procedures to stop internal bleeding as he waits for a liver transplant. The former Cleveland Browns quarterback shared on social media that he had two aggressive procedures recently and was set for a third on Wednesday. Kosar was supposed to receive a liver transplant last weekend, but it was delayed due to an infected donor organ. He revealed last year that he had been diagnosed with cirrhosis of the liver and Parkinson’s disease. Kosar played in the NFL for 12 seasons, leading the Browns to three AFC championship game appearances.

Ex-NFL star Antonio Brown gets $25K bail and GPS monitor on Miami attempted murder charge
A Miami judge ordered that former NFL star wide receiver Antonio Brown will be released on $25,000 bail and must wear an ankle monitor. He has pleaded not guilty to the second-degree attempted murder charge in Florida. That carries a potential 15-year prison sentence and a fine up to $10,000 if he's convicted. His lawyer said the 37-year-old Brown would return to his home Florida while the case proceeds. Brown is accused of grabbing a handgun from a security staffer after a celebrity boxing match on May 16 and firing two shots at a man he had gotten into a fistfight with earlier. Brown's lawyer says it was his own gun.
Kryptos' final code remains unsolved. The CIA sculpture's creator is auctioning the solution
BOSTON (AP) — An artist is auctioning off his archive for a sculpture at CIA headquarters that has transfixed code breakers for decades. The 10-foot-tall, S-shaped copper screen is called Kryptos. It was designed to look like a piece of paper coming out of a fax machine. One side features a series of alphabets that are key for decoding the four encrypted messages on the other side. Three of the passages have been solved, but a fourth remains a mystery. The plain text of K4 and the original coding for it will be part of the auction, which runs until Nov. 20.
