Cheat Sheet: Afternoon

FLAILING

Two weeks before Virginia voters choose their next governor, the Republican is lagging in the polls—and struggling with questions about the government shutdown. The Daily Beast's Ben Jacobs reports.

'MANY RIVERS TO CROSS'

Henry Louis Gates's new PBS show, The African Americans: Many Rivers to Cross, shines a critical light on American colonists as innovators in racism and slavery. The Daily Beast's Jamelle Bouie on the series's provocative claims.

OOH AAH

Compared to past keynotes, it was a bit of a yawn. Apple announced a snazzy new operating system, Mavericks, and a shot-across-the-bow to Microsoft with iWork, both of which will be given away for free. But everybody was waiting for the iPad announcements. Only 2.5 mm thick and starting at $499 ($629 for cell coverage), the new iPad Air weighs only 1 pound. It will be available to more carriers worldwide and have better wi-fi. Apple also unveiled an updated iPad Mini for $399 ($599 with cell coverage), which will now get a retina display. The iPads will go on sale November 1. Expect big sales, as for the first time it will go on sale simultaneously in China. 

NOT THERE YET

The U.S. added just 148,000 jobs in September, slowing down gains made during the summer, according to the latest jobs report released on Tuesday. The unemployment rate, meanwhile, dropped to 7.2 percent, its lowest level since November 2008. The weaker-than-expected jobs numbers are a sign that the economy was weakened before the costly government shutdown, which economists estimate could result in as much as 0.6 percent loss in the fourth-quarter GDP. The release of the official jobs numbers was delayed due to the government shutdown.

MYSTERY

Irish police took a blonde girl from a Roma family in Dublin on Tuesday, less than a week after a similar case in Greece drew international attention on rumors of a Roma child trafficking ring. The Roma couple apparently said the seven-year-old blue-eyed blonde girl was their daughter, but police said they were not satisfied with their documentation and removed her from their care. Last week, Greek officials took a four-year-old blonde girl from a Roma family after a raid on a camp. The little girl, known as Maria, turned out not be genetically linked to the people who said they were her parents.
