The Connecticut Sun are averaging 79.8 points on 43.8 percent shooting and allowing 73 points on 43.7 percent shooting. DeWanna Bonner is averaging 16.7 points and 1.9 assists, while Brionna Jones is averaging 13.3 points and 1.8 assists.

Dallas Wings vs Connecticut Sun Injury Report
The Connecticut Sun will be without Tiffany Mitchell and DiJonai Carrington, while Olivia Nelson-Ododa is questionable with a foot injury. Satou Sabally is probable to make her season debut for the Wings. Jaelyn Brown is probable despite an illness. Maddy Siegrist is doubtful due to a finger injury.
Dallas Wings vs Connecticut Sun Prediction
The Connecticut Sun should be favored for obvious reasons, as they’ve been comfortably the better team this season, and they’re fighting for a top 2 seed. The Dallas Wings have been the bottom feeders of the WNBA all year. However, the Wings are getting a massive boost with the return of Satou Sabally, who looked sharp in the Olympics. Siegrist looks like she still needs a little more time, but the Wings will be as close to full strength as they’ve been all year. A 1-2 punch of Ogunbowale and Sabally is dangerous and only 4 games out of the last playoff spot, the Wings will be a team to watch down the stretch, as crazy as that sounds. Give me the Wings and the points. The talent is back for an upset, and the College Park Center should be rocking.

Cucumber salmonella outbreak is making people in Connecticut sick. What to know
![Cucumber salmonella outbreak is making people in Connecticut sick. What to know Cucumber salmonella outbreak is making people in Connecticut sick.

Fridge hack: Save money by keeping it cold
Keep your fridge as cold as possible for food safety.
A salmonella outbreak linked to cucumbers has made people sick in more than 30 states, including several in Connecticut.
The CDC and FDA announced Wednesday that two salmonella outbreaks linked to cucumbers earlier this year are now being investigated as one outbreak.
The agencies are continuing to collect data about these outbreaks, which they say are of two different types of salmonella.
“CDC and FDA combined these two outbreak investigations as they shared several similarities, including where and when illnesses occurred, the demographics of ill people and the foods they reported eating before they became sick,” the agencies said.
Where is the salmonella outbreak?
The salmonella outbreak linked to cucumbers has affected more than 30 states, including Connecticut.
CDC data shows 7 people in Connecticut got sick from the outbreak between March and July, but that number is likely higher as many people with salmonella recover without going to a doctor.
What is causing the salmonella outbreak?
Since first declaring the two salmonella outbreaks in June, the CDC and FDA have investigated the cause and linked it back to cucumbers.
The agencies said data has determined that cucumbers from two growers in Florida — Bedner Growers, Inc. and Thomas Produce Company — were likely the sources of the outbreak.
Products from these farms are no longer on the market, so there is likely no ongoing risk to the public, the CDC and FDA said.
However, the agencies said these growers do not account for all the illnesses in this outbreak, which is why consumers should still be aware.
How to protect yourself from salmonella
The CDC recommends practicing food safety steps to prevent getting sick from salmonella, including washing your hands and surfaces, rinsing fruit and vegetables under running water before eating and keeping raw food away from cooked food.
The agency also recommends using a food thermometer to ensure foods have been cooked to a high enough temperature to kill germs. Perishable food should also be refrigerated within two hours.

Electric shock: Connecticut regulators approve rate hike. Bills to rise in September
![Electric shock: Connecticut regulators approve rate hike. Bills to rise in September Electric shock: Connecticut regulators approve rate hike. Bills to rise in September](https://images-cf.news12static.com/3kqcuzntcg31/7vtjbI9KuQ9f7ZpSXBCyWa/51a6fabe754bc497e96cdd8ae9820cd2/0753ef8d-2d41-4bf7-85fa-c1d634d94d95.jpg?fit=thumb&w=600&h=340&q=80&fm=webp)
State regulators have approved an electric rate increase that will affect customers of Eversource and United Illuminating starting Sept. 1.
The rate hike is expected to increase the typical consumer’s bill by approximately $3 per month, according to Eversource. This latest increase comes on the heels of a significant rise in the public benefits portion of customers’ bills last month.
Electricity rates in Connecticut are adjusted twice a year, in January and July, based on competitive bidding processes and regional wholesale electricity market prices.
The total impact on individual customers’ bills may vary depending on their energy usage.
The rate increase affects customers of both Eversource and United Illuminating, the state’s two largest electricity providers.
