ORLANDO, Fla. (AP) — Captain Jack Sparrow is taking shore leave for the summer.

Pirates of the Caribbean, the popular ride at Walt Disney World, will be closed from mid-May through the end of September.

The ride is undergoing a routine refurbishment.

Disney officials say the repairs aren’t safety related.

It’s not the first time the ride has been closed for repairs. It was closed for four months almost a decade ago while new characters were added to comport with the film adaptations starring Johnny Depp

CLEARFIELD, Pa. (AP) — An 18-year-old firefighter has died six days after being trapped beneath a porch roof that collapsed during a blaze at a central Pennsylvania home.

The Clearfield County Emergency Management Agency says Jeff Buck succumbed to his injuries Monday. He’d been undergoing treatment at UPMC Altoona.

Buck was a Clearfield Area High School senior and a member of the Lawrence Township Fire Company.

He was one of three firefighters on the porch when the roof collapsed March 3. The other two were treated and released for minor injuries.

The couple that owned the home escaped with only minor injuries after the fire began about 9 a.m. Tuesday in their living room. The cause of the fire remains under investigation.

Clearfield Bank and Trust is collecting donations to the “Jeffrey Buck Fund.”

NORMAN, Okla. (AP) — A racist chant by several members of a University of Oklahoma fraternity that was caught on video led to outrage from the school’s president and the organization’s banishment from campus. But fallout appears far from over.

President David Boren said an investigation is underway to determine whether some of the students from OU’s chapter of Sigma Alpha Epsilon could be expelled for violating Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, which prohibits racial discrimination.

The incident also had a profound effect on the Norman campus. Students organized a pre-dawn rally, and the football team decided to protest rather than practice.

The video shows several people on a bus participating in a chant that included a racial slur, referenced lynching and indicated that black students would never be allowed to join the fraternity.

SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — Apple wants to move the Internet from your pocket to your wrist.

Time will tell if millions of consumers are willing to spend $350 on up — there’s an 18-karat gold version that starts at $10,000 — for a wearable device that still requires a wirelessly connected smartphone to deliver its most powerful features.

But CEO Tim Cook is selling the Apple Watch as the next must-have device, able to serve people’s information needs all day long, like no other tool has quite been able to do.

“Now it’s on your wrist. It’s not in your pocket or pocketbook,” Cook said before unveiling the new line on Monday. “We think the Apple Watch is going to be integral to your day.”

Apple wants this wristwatch — which piggybacks on a nearby smartphone’s Internet connection through Wi-Fi or Bluetooth — to be seen as so revolutionary that it requires its own new lingo.

So while the watch face provides most of the same information as smartphones do, the back of the watch sends “taptic feedback,” tapping the wrist to remind the wearer to get up and burn more calories.

“It’s like having a coach on your wrist!” gushed Cook, touting the potential health uses of a computer that sticks to your skin all day.

The gadget also introduces “digital touch,” a new way of messaging that enables people to draw and send little figures with their fingertips and have them arrive on a friend’s watch face dynamically, in the same way they were drawn.

Convincing consumers they can’t live without an expensive new device isn’t easy, but Apple’s strongest selling points include “convenience and immediacy,” along with high-end design features and some useful new apps, said Carolina Milanesi, a tech analyst with Kantar Worldpanel.

“If you don’t have to be fumbling around for your phone, that can make a difference,” agreed analyst Patrick Moorhead of Moor Insights and Strategy.

Initial consumer reactions ranged from die-hard Apple fans vowing to buy the watch immediately, to naysayers who don’t see the point of paying so much to see updates on their wrist instead their smartphone.

“I think it’s a tough market they are trying to get into, and I don’t see much promise that is going to come out of it,” said Joshua Powers, 21, a junior at Emerson College in Boston who owns an iPhone, an iPad and a MacBook computer.

As expected, the previously announced starting price of $349 is only for the entry-level Sport model. Prices range from $549 to $1,100 for the mid-range watch. That’s not out of line for a high-quality watch, analysts said.

But Cook did not answer a key question for price-conscious consumers, Moorhead noted: How will Apple update the watch when it releases new models?

Apple did answer another vital question, promising an estimated 18-hour battery life before the watch needs to be taken off and attached to a magnetic recharger.

Numerous tech companies are already selling smartwatches, from the Samsung Gear and Motorola’s Moto 360 to the Pebble Steel and other models made by smaller startups. Many run on Android Wear, the software platform from Google, and range from $100 to $500 or more.

But most don’t have as many features as the Apple Watch, and they have not been big hits with consumers.

Apple executive Kevin Lynch walked through a simulation of a typical day, checking the watch for messages and calendar items, responding to a WeChat message, scrolling through some Instagram photos and speaking with Siri, Apple’s voice-activated digital assistant, through the microphone on the watch.

More impressively, Lynch presented an airline app with a bar code that acts as a boarding pass, another app that opened a garage door by remote control, and still another that promises to enable wearers to check out at the grocery store with a single tap on the watch face.

Cook also showed off features that can be found on many fitness bands already on the market, such as a heart rate monitor and accelerometer that can track a wearer’s movements and log daily exercise.

But some design functions seem uniquely Apple: Twist a small knob, and the wearer can quickly select the face of a friend, then sketch an image with a fingertip that shows up dynamically, just like it is being drawn, on the friend’s watch face. Swipe the watch face to bring up an email, then with a single tap, turn that email into a calendar item.

Cook hinted at bigger goals when he announced Monday that Apple has worked with leading medical institutions to develop an open-source software platform for iPhones to assist with medical research. He stopped just short of saying that Apple Watch, in combination with the iPhone, could be a key conduit for two-way delivery of health care information, sending data about a person’s metabolism to researchers while also reminding wearers to take their medicine or go exercise.

For example, Apple executive Jeff Williams showed a new iPhone app that can track indicators of Parkinson’s disease by using a phone’s accelerometer to measure a user’s walking gait and its microphone to test for voice tremors. The watch also has both an accelerometer and microphone, so extending the app to the wrist would not be a major leap.

Apple reportedly studied the possibility of adding more sophisticated medical sensors to the watch, but held off because of technical and regulatory hurdles. If the watch catches on, however, Apple and medical device-makers will undoubtedly find ways to measure skin temperature, glucose levels or other indicators, said Murray Brozinsky, chief strategy officer at Healthline, an online health information service.

“If you’re building those sensors right now, you’re building them for hospitals. But you’d like to build more of them for 25 million Apple Watches,” Brozinsky said.

Apple Watch will be available for viewing at Apple stores on April 10 and go on sale April 24.

WASHINGTON (AP) — The Food and Drug Administration says it will keep a bold-letter warning on Pfizer’s anti-smoking drug Chantix about suicidal behavior and other psychiatric problems.

Pfizer Inc. asked the agency last year to drop the so-called black box warning, pointing to its own analyses that found no difference in psychiatric problems between people taking Chantix and other stop-smoking treatments.

But the FDA said in an online posting Monday that Pfizer’s data did not examine all types of psychiatric problems and had limitations preventing regulators “from drawing reliable conclusions.”

The agency’s decision follows the recommendation of a panel of outside experts, who voted last October to keep the warning on the drug. New York-based Pfizer is expected to complete a larger study of Chantix’s psychiatric side effects in late 2015.

AUGUSTA, Maine (AP) — A Maine state senator who made a Facebook post suggesting President Barack Obama’s family is part of the Islamic State group of extremists has apologized.

Republican Sen. Michael Willette shared a photo of Obama that pretended to use the president’s words, saying of the Islamic State group, “I’ll deal with them at the family reunion.”

Willette calls the March 1 post an “error in judgment.” He said Monday he “fell into the trap” of posting something before thinking about it.

Maine Democratic Party Chairman Phil Bartlett says the offensive post reflects poorly on the Maine Republican Party. He says it perpetuates a “false racial, religious and ethnic slur.”

Since Obama first ran for president in 2008 detractors have falsely claimed he’s a Muslim.

PINKHAM NOTCH, N.H. (AP) — Police say a skier participating in a Make-A-Wish fundraiser in New Hampshire has fallen 60 feet to his death after losing control on a trail.

Police say 34-year-old North Conway resident Samuel Moore died at about 9:30 a.m. Monday at the Wildcat Ski Area in Pinkham Notch, in the White Mountains region.

Police say he lost control while skiing near the bottom of the trail known as 5 Corners. They say he fell and tumbled down the trail before the drop.

Forty skiers were participating Monday in the 12th-annual 100,000 Vertical Foot Challenge charity event for Make-A-Wish. Skiers were to log a total of 48 trail runs to achieve 100,000 vertical feet over the day.

The Make-A-Wish Foundation grants the wishes of children with life-threatening medical conditions.

HARTFORD, Conn. (AP) — A lawyer for a 17-year-old Connecticut girl forced to undergo chemotherapy by the state after she refused treatment says her cancer appears to be in remission.

Assistant Public Defender Joshua Michtom said Monday that the girl’s recent medical scan showed no signs of Hodgkin’s lymphoma. The girl is identified in court documents as Cassandra C.

Michtom says Cassandra remains confined to a Hartford hospital room. He says a court hearing is scheduled for next week on whether Cassandra should remain in the custody of the state Department of Children and Families.

A judge granted the agency temporary custody in November after she refused chemo.

Cassandra told The Associated Press in January that she didn’t want to poison her body with chemo and wanted to explore alternative treatments.

SPANISH FORK, Utah (AP) — Police say a 25-year-old woman was found dead and her 18-month-old daughter was found alive inside a car that crashed into a Utah river and wasn’t discovered until over 13 hours later.

The girl was flown to a Salt Lake City hospital in an unknown condition. Their names weren’t immediately released.

A fisherman found the car upside-down Saturday afternoon in Spanish Fork River in Spanish Fork, about 50 miles south of Salt Lake City.

Police Lt. Matt Johnson says the woman left Salem about 10 p.m. Friday to drive to her Springville home, and a resident said he thought he heard an accident about 11 p.m. but couldn’t find anything.

The car was found about 12:30 p.m. Saturday.

Some emergency responders who entered the river were released after treatment for hypothermia at a hospital.

LOUDONVILLE, Ohio (AP) — Prosecutors say a former Ohio teacher has been arrested for secretly recording kindergarten students in a school bathroom.

Ashland County Prosecutor Chris Tunnell says 32-year-old Elliot Gornall hung a pinpoint spy camera in a bathroom at the elementary school in Loudonville, about 70 miles northeast of Columbus.

Officials say Gornall was arrested Friday. He is expected to appear in court Monday to face felony charges.

Gornall resigned last year after being charged with felony drug possession. The new charges follow an examination of Gornall’s personal computer by the Ohio Bureau of Criminal Investigation.

Officials say Gornall had worked in the district for four years following clean background checks.

A message left for Gornall’s attorney was not immediately returned Saturday.
