KISS honored Ace Frehley in the band’s first performance since his death. The rock group performed its three-day KISS Kruise: Landlocked event in Las Vegas over the weekend and paid tribute to the guitarist, who died Oct. 16 at age 74 after suffering a fall in his studio. “Obviously, before we get going and we’re going to have an awesome time we just wanted to take a moment to think about somebody who was at the foundation of this band, and we’re talking about Ace,” frontman Paul Stanley told the crowd on Friday, as seen in a fan video from the concert. “We certainly had differences, but that’s what family is about,” Stanley, 73, added. The musician then led a moment of silence for Frehley, telling the crowd, “Why don’t we take a moment, little quiet, and think about him looking down on us, and let’s have a moment for Ace.” After the moment of silence, the audience chanted “Ace! Ace! Ace!” Stanley also encouraged everyone to hold plastic candles in the air in Frehley’s honor. The current members of KISS include Stanley, Gene Simmons, Eric Singer and Tommy Thayer. Frehley, dubbed the Spaceman and Space Ace, was a founding member of KISS. He departed the group in 1982 to pursue a successful solo career, but then rejoined KISS for a reunion tour in 1996 and stayed until 2002. Last month, Frehley was placed on life support with a brain bleed after a fall he suffered in his New Jersey studio weeks prior. Frehley appeared to mention the incident in September when he canceled a performance in California due to “a minor fall in his studio” that resulted in a visit to the hospital. He went on to call off the remaining dates of his 2025 tour because of “ongoing medical issues” following the fall. The rocker’s family confirmed his passing on Oct. 16. “We are completely devastated and heartbroken,” his loved ones said. “In his last moments, we were fortunate enough to have been able to surround him with loving, caring, peaceful words, thoughts, prayers and intentions as he left this earth.” Frehley’s fellow KISS members shared their own statement honoring their former bandmate. “We are devastated by the passing of Ace Frehley,” Stanley and Simmons, 76, wrote. “He was an essential and irreplaceable rock soldier during some of the most formative foundational chapters of the band and its history.” The duo also noted that Frehley will “always be a part of Kiss’ legacy.”.

Steelers HC Mike Tomlin on the loss: ‘We stunk it up tonight. We’ll be back.’
There haven’t been many moments during Mike Tomlin’s tenure as the Pittsburgh Steelers head coach where he appeared as irritated as he was following Sunday’s blowout loss to the Los Angeles Chargers.
Tomlin declined to address specifics about the loss regarding individual players, but his confidence in the team remains intact. He firmly declared that the Steelers will be back.
Speaking candidly about the offensive struggles, Tomlin highlighted key issues, including the offense not converting a single third down until the middle of the fourth quarter. Overall, Pittsburgh’s offense managed just 221 passing yards, with running back Jaylen Warren accounting for 91 of those yards — 70 rushing and 21 receiving.
When reporters pressed Tomlin for details about quarterback Aaron Rodgers’ poor performance, he refused to engage. Instead, he snapped at the media, calling out their line of questioning.
Rodgers had his worst game of the season, throwing for only 161 yards. He also threw two interceptions and was sacked in the end zone for a safety, contributing to the team’s disappointing outing.

Microsoft breaks Task Manager in Windows 11, hard
Let’s take a look at how things are going at Microsoft, whose CEO claimed a few months ago that 30% of their code was generated by AI.
After installing Windows Updates released on or after October 28, 2025 (KB5067036), you might encounter an issue where closing Task Manager using the Close (X) button does not fully terminate the process. When you reopen Task Manager, the previous instance continues running in the background even though no window is visible.
This results in multiple lingering instances of taskmgr.exe, consuming system resources and potentially degrading device performance. Additional instances appear as “Task Manager” in the Processes tab and as “Taskmgr.exe” in the Details tab.
Although the impact is less noticeable if Task Manager is opened and closed a few times, many instances accumulated over time can cause noticeable slowdowns in other applications.
For more details, refer to the Windows Health Dashboard.

Nutley’s Meya Ranges takes third in Essex XC Championships
Up until last week, Meya Ranges’ senior season has been all about pacing and patience. Throughout the offseason, Ranges focused on improving her pacing on the course to ensure she could finish races stronger. During the regular season, she was strategically held out of some of Nutley’s dual meets, keeping bigger goals in mind—namely the Essex County and upcoming NJSIAA state and sectional championships.
On Friday at Cedar Grove Park, that training and approach paid off in a big way. Ranges smashed her previous career best by running a 19:09.07 to claim third place at the Essex County Championships. Her medal-winning performance earned her The Observer Athlete of the Week honors.
For Ranges, this marked her second consecutive third-place finish at the Essex County Championships. Last fall, she took third with a time of 19:41.50.
“Going into Friday, I was really confident in myself, and now I have more experience running a 5K,” Ranges said. “I knew how to pace it, and I pretty much ran my own race. I definitely think I’m hitting my stride right now. I think a lot of the credit goes to my training and my coaches. At the beginning of the year, I didn’t run as many dual meets as I did before, just to save my legs for the championship season. I’ve been doing a lot of tempo runs during the dual meets, and that has definitely helped.”
Head coach Kara McNish added, “With Meya, we kind of mapped out the whole season, looking at invitationals and recovery time. I gave her certain days that she wasn’t going to race, like the Essex County Invitational and some dual meets. Last year, we didn’t do that at all, which I think, in the end, weighed heavy on her legs. By the time we got to sectionals and groups, she was feeling it.”
For Ranges, sitting out those dual meets wasn’t always easy. She admitted to feeling a bit of FOMO (fear of missing out) as she did her work separately from her teammates.
“I want to save my legs, but I want to be running. I want to be with them,” Ranges said, also crediting swimming and cross-training for helping her get stronger heading into the season. “But I know it’s for the better because Cedar Grove is all concrete, so it’s definitely harsh on your legs. Saving my energy, going to the track, and doing a tempo workout really did help. I felt really fresh on Friday.”
With her legs fresh and another year of experience under her belt, Ranges felt much more comfortable heading into this year’s county meet. Just ten days earlier, at the Super Essex Conference Championships, she set a then-personal best with a time of 19:19.40 at Cedar Grove.
According to Ranges, she didn’t start with the front pack in the field of 106 runners. Instead, she gradually made her way toward the front while saving a strong kick for the end.
“I definitely wanted to go under 19:20, but I really had no idea what was going to happen because everybody in Essex County is so good—everyone’s improving,” Ranges said. “So I just wanted to stay up, run my own race, try to catch up to the lead pack, and then kick at the end. That was my goal, and I executed it pretty well.”

Philadelphia 76ers Already Making ‘Silly’ Excuses for Joel Embiid
In their opening game of the season, the Philadelphia 76ers secured a much-needed victory over the Boston Celtics. After a disappointing campaign last year, the 76ers were desperate to start this season on the right foot. Thanks to stellar performances from VJ Edgecombe and Tyrese Maxey, Philadelphia began the year with a promising 1-0 record.
However, the game’s spotlight on Joel Embiid was less encouraging. The star center made only one of his nine shots, finishing with just four points in 20 minutes of play. Still managing his workload as he recovers from a lingering leg injury, Embiid appeared to be a shadow of his usual dominant self.
Despite earning $55.2 million this season, the 76ers are not overly concerned about his slow start—for now.
### Philadelphia 76ers Make Excuses for Joel Embiid
Embiid was initially not expected to play on opening night. Having missed the majority of the preseason, it seemed he was rushed back into action prematurely. Many argue it might have been wiser to allow him to fully recover, especially considering the team is currently attributing his poor performance to injury and “rust.”
Even after a lackluster outing, Embiid still received some praise. Head coach Nick Nurse said, “I’m super happy he was out there. I think that he played good. I know that’s going to sound silly, one for nine. He just didn’t shoot it very good. I thought he transferred the ball good. I thought he made some good decisions. I thought he took good shots. I thought he protected the rim.”
While Nurse may be content with Embiid’s effort, the numbers tell a different story. Embiid recorded a plus/minus of -16, which is rare in a winning effort. Though he avoided turnovers, his shooting was undeniably poor. Defensively, his impact was minimal—the Celtics shot 46.2% when he was on the floor and 47.3% when he was off, a negligible difference.
Despite the subpar performance, Nurse quickly offered excuses. “He hasn’t done much, right?” the coach remarked. “He’s kind of played a scrimmage and a preseason game, and I think there’s some rust there, but I thought he was moving good and made good decisions, which is really positive.”
### Philadelphia 76ers Need Embiid at His Best
Joel Embiid remains one of the greatest players in Sixers history. When healthy, his dominance is unquestionable. Yet, despite his stardom, the 76ers have never advanced past the second round of the playoffs, even while sharing the court with elite talent.
This season, the 76ers are fully committed to Maxey, Embiid, and Paul George. With the addition of Edgecombe, after just one game, Philadelphia looks poised to be among the NBA’s top teams. They have always been competitive but have yet to take that crucial next step toward championship contention.
The hope is that Embiid will soon regain his full form and lead the team to greater success in the months ahead.
