What’s in the news?

- The federal shutdown is into its eleventh day although talks went late into the night in an effort to ending the congressional stalemate. For their part, all 8 members of Massachusetts' Democratic delegation to the House called for a House floor vote on a resolution to end the shutdown.

- A man severely burned in a lab explosion yesterday in North Andover has died. Authorities tell the Eagle-Tribune the 51-year-old was working alone in the Dow Chemical-owned at the time of the midday explosion. The cause of the blast remains under investigation.

- The state's Supreme Judicial Court has heard from both sides on whether warrants should be required for cellphone records that can help track a person's whereabouts. The arguments yesterday involved a 2011 cold-case murder arrest, with authorities getting cellphone records trying to link Shabazz Augustine to the 2004 killing of Julaine Jules.

- Low-income heat and rent subsidies stand to be among the effects soon should the federal shutdown linger several more weeks. State and local agencies say many of the nonprofits that administer heating assistance programs haven't even been taking applications because of the shutdown.

- Public worker pension fund liabilities in Massachusetts are continuing to mount in spite of the large sums being contributed by governments, according to a business-backed advocacy group. The Massachusetts Taxpayers Foundation says such funds currently have $83 billion in unfunded obligations.
