NEW YORK (AP) — It's been another eventful day on Wall Street, where stocks surged higher in the early going -- only to see those gains wiped out by late afternoon. The Dow industrials, which had been more than 400 points higher this morning, ended with a loss of more than 200 points.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Donald Trump has until Sept. 30 to pledge to rule out a third party run if he intends to appear on the South Carolina primary ballot.

Other states are considering adding similar language. Trump has repeatedly refused to rule out staying in the race if he fails to become the Republican nominee.
WASHINGTON (AP) — The National Zoo in Washington, D.C. says panda mom Mei Xiang (may shahng) is only nursing the larger of her two newborn cubs -- and isn't letting keepers swap in her smaller newborn for feedings. So for now, keepers are caring for the smaller cub. Since pandas won't usually nurse twins if left to their own devices, officials are trying to switch the cubs every several hours to allow the mother to nurse and bond with one cub at a time. Keepers are bottle and tube feeding the smaller cub.
