World Pneumonia Day is November 12 Once called "Winter Fever," the symptoms of pneumonia have been known since the time of Greek physician Hippocrates, who commented on it around 460 BC. It wasn't until the late 1800s that the bacterial cause of pneumonia was identified--Streptococcus pneumoniae was first isolated in 1880 by Louis Pasteur and George Sternberg. By the 1940s, with the development and mass production of antibiotics like penicillin, more people began to survive the lung disease.

Football: Indians wrap up season in Murray By Trey Stephens, Staff Writer On Friday, November 7, 2025, the Adair County Indians Football team fell 45-8 on the road to Murray in the Class 3A 2025 UK HeathCare Sports Medicine State Football playoffs, marking the end of an up-and-down season for the Tribe. Senior Ryder Rodgers finished as the Tribe's leading rusher and leader in offensive production and touchdowns. Replacing the large hole left by his graduation will undoubtably be a focus for the Indians heading into this off season. Rodgers also ends as the Indians leading tackler on defense, followed by junior Tristan Mullins and senior Mahlon Coblentz. The Indians finished the season at 3-8, despite injuries and other difficulties, and a playoff appearance is still cause for celebration, and excitement for what next season will bring. Seeing two of the team's three leading tacklers graduate will be a huge challenge for the Indians defense next year, but there is younger depth waiting in the wings. 2025-11-11 08:13:10 | Comments | Printable version | See topic Sports

Revenues for the month were $1,181.6 million compared to $1,187.9 million collected in October 2024. The official General Fund revenue estimate for FY26 calls for revenue to decline 2.3 percent compared to FY25 actual receipts.

Regarding October General Fund revenues, Hicks noted that "Sales tax collections continue to improve, growing 14.5 percent in the month of October and 6.5 percent through the first four months of FY26.

Major business taxes, which include the corporation income tax and the limited liability entity tax, declined by $118.4 million.
