Stocks keep climbing as fear keeps falling on Wall Street
New York – Stocks are rising again on Thursday as a bit more fear evaporates from Wall Street.
The S&P 500 was 0.6% higher in early trading. It’s on pace for its fifth gain in the last six days, and its recent roll has it up for the month after struggling in earlier weeks on worries about whether the banking system was cracking under the weight of higher interest rates.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average was up 152 points, or 0.5%, at 32,870, as of 9:40 a.m. Eastern time, while the Nasdaq composite was 0.7% higher.
Forceful actions by regulators worldwide have helped build confidence that the current trouble for banks won’t torpedo the economy like the 2008 financial crisis did. Traders have also begun betting heavily that the Federal Reserve will have to cut interest rates soon. Such cuts could offer huge relief after a year of relentless hikes to rates, and they also tend to act like steroids for markets.
To be sure, all the recent ebullience has some professionals on Wall Street wary.
“Markets are pricing the best of both worlds: a recession that brings inflation down rapidly and keeps rates low, yet one where corporate earnings do not fall sharply,” according to analysts at Barclays led by Ajay Rajadhyaksha, global chairman of research.
They are skeptical and think both bonds and U.S. stocks look too expensive.
Since Silicon Valley Bank earlier this month became history’s second-biggest U.S. bank failure, Treasury yields in the bond market have tumbled as traders built bets the Federal Reserve would have to take it easier on interest rates.
The Fed has pulled its key overnight rate to a range of 4.75% to 5%, up from virtually zero at the start of last year, to drive down inflation. High rates can do that, but only by taking a blunt hammer to the entire economy. They also drag down prices for stocks and other investments.
The bet on Wall Street has been that the Fed may cut rates as soon as this summer, to release some of the pressure built up on the economy and banks. That has caused the price to soar and the yield to tumble for the two-year Treasury, which tends to move on expectations for Fed action.
Its yield plunged from above 5% earlier this month, when it was at its highest level since 2007, back below 3.60% last week. That’s a massive move for the bond market. It rose Thursday to 4.15% from 4.11% late Wednesday.
Expectations for easier rates in turn have helped to buoy the Big Tech stocks that dominate the S&P 500 and other indexes. That’s because tech and high-growth stocks are seen as some of the biggest beneficiaries of low rates.
But many professionals on Wall Street are saying the Fed would likely cut rates only if a more serious recession for the economy were on the way, one that would pull down corporate earnings more sharply than what’s already expected.
The Fed has indicated it plans to raise rates one more time before holding steady through the end of this year. While it’s acknowledged that the turmoil for banks could almost act like a rate hike on its own, inflation is still too high for comfort.
“In sharp recessions – which seems to us the only way to justify bond market pricing, given how high US inflation is – corporate earnings easily drop 30-35%,” Rajadhyaksha and his Barclays colleagues wrote in a report. They added that Big Tech stocks would not be immune from such a downturn.
Nevertheless, the increasingly dominant force on Wall Street seems to be calm.
A measure of nervousness among stock investors on Wall Street on Thursday touched its lowest level since before a mad dash by Silicon Valley Bank customers earlier this month caused its failure and sparked the harsher scrutiny on banks globally.
Almost all of the financial stocks in the S&P 500 rose, as well as some of the banks recently seen as most at risk of seeing an exodus of depositors similar to Silicon Valley Bank’s.
A report on Thursday showed that slightly more U.S. workers applied for unemployment benefits last week than expected. That could be a sign of increased layoffs, but the number still remains very low compared with history.
In a separate report, the government revised down its estimate for how much the U.S. economy grew during the last three months of 2022. But it also still showed growth.
“Today’s data may have some investors more willing to see the light at the end of the tunnel for rate hikes but remember a multitude of data will be released before the Fed’s next decision,” said Mike Loewengart, head of model portfolio construction at Morgan Stanley Global Investment Office.
On Friday, the Commerce Department issues its February report on consumer spending. That’s the heart of the U.S. economy. Perhaps more importantly, the report will also give the latest update on the measure of inflation that Fed policymakers prefer to use.
“And we have just seen how quickly the market can be disrupted by unplanned turmoil," Loewengart said, "so investors should remain alert.”

Video Above: Previous coverage of Taqueria Garibaldi labor concerns
(KTXL) — The owner of two Sacramento-area restaurants illegally denied $70,000 in overtime wages and allegedly offered workers the services of a “priest” to confess “workplace sins” to, the U.S. Labor Department said.
The Labor Department said the owners of two locations of the northern California Mexican food chain Taqueria Garibaldi also “paid managers from the employee tip pool illegally, threatened employees with retaliation and adverse immigration consequences for cooperating with the department, and fired one worker who they believed had complained to the department.”
Che Garibaldi Inc., which operates two Taqueria Garibaldi locations in Sacramento and Roseville, agreed to pay $70,000 in back wages and $70,000 in damages to 35 employees.
The company will also pay $5,000 in civil penalties.
Under oath, an employee of Taqueria Garibaldi explained how the restaurant offered a supposed priest to hear their workplace “sins” while other employees reported that a manager falsely claimed that immigration issues would be raised by the department’s investigation,” said the Regional Solicitor of Labor Marc Pilotin in San Francisco.
The employee testified that the person identified as a priest urged the staff to “get the sins out” and asked workers if they had stolen from the employer, been late for work, had done anything to harm their employer, or if they had bad intentions toward their employer.
“This employer’s despicable attempts to retaliate against employees were intended to silence workers, obstruct an investigation and prevent the recovery of unpaid wages,” Pilotin added.

Lady Gaga, in emotional video, explains why she halted final concert of tour
FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. — In an emotional video, Lady Gaga said she halted her Miami concert Saturday night, the last one on her tour, because of lightning and the potential danger to her crew and fans.
“Thank you so much for coming to the Chromatica Ball Tour,” she said to her fans while tearing up in the video. “We really tried to finish the show tonight in Miami but we couldn’t because even though the rain sort of stopped, there was lightning that was striking right down to the ground so close to us.”
The adored singer said she wanted to be responsible and worried about danger to the audience or her crew if she continued in the storm.

More:'The Woman King' an epic that puts women in the middle of the action
More:'See How They Run' is a breezy, clever whodunit
A full-to-the-brim audience at Hard Rock Stadium, which has a capacity of more than 65,000, had paid hundreds of dollars to see Gaga’s final show in her Chromatica Ball Tour Saturday night. Gaga had belted out 17 songs on her set list, including favorites such as “Bad Romance,” “Shallow” and “Born This Way,” before the rain disrupted her performance.
According to her set list, she had five more songs to go.
“I am sorry we didn’t get to do the epic ‘Rain on Me’ in the rain, but what is more worth it is life,” she said on Instagram. “I love you little monsters, forever xoxo ... I’m sorry, I used my best judgment, it wasn’t safe.”
The singer’s South Florida fans supported her and responded in support on social media.
“Don’t be sorry!!” one fan wrote in response. “You care about your fans & we care about you,” wrote another.
Laurie Levine, of Cooper City, said fans were not angry, just disappointed. Levine said the singer came back on stage at about 1 a.m. and told the remaining fans that for safety reasons she wasn’t being allowed to continue the show.
“Most people felt bad for her because it was her final show. The weather was terrible. It was a deluge.”
Levine said she enjoyed the performance she did get to see.
“She is a fabulous performer. She played piano and sang and even though it was a big arena, it felt intimate. She connects to the audience and is such a good entertainer.”

ANCHORAGE, Alaska — Bush pilot Jim Tweto, known for his starring role in the Discovery Channel’s “Flying Wild Alaska” series, was killed along with a hunting and fishing guide from Idaho when their small plane crashed shortly after takeoff, Alaska State Troopers said.
The plane “was witnessed taking off but not climbing and then crashing,” their report said. Troopers were notified of an SOS activation around 11:48 a.m. Friday, followed by a report that a Cessna 180 had crashed 35 miles northeast of Shaktoolik.
Troopers responding from Nome recovered both bodies. The National Transportation Safety Board said it is investigating.
The Anchorage Daily News reported that Tweto was a co-owner of Hageland Aviation Services and then Era Alaska, which would later become Rayn Air Group; Reynolds operated Northwest Fishing Expeditions, guiding clients in Alaska and across the Pacific Northwest for years.
Tweto, 68, died doing what he loved, his daughter Ariel posted on Instagram. She called Reynolds, 45, “a wonderful hunting guide and friend of our family.”
Born in Kansas and raised in Minnesota, Tweto came to Alaska to play hockey at the University of Alaska Anchorage, and settled in Unalakleet, where he met his wife Ferno. The couple and their three daughters were featured in the Discovery series, which aired in 2011-2012.

Georgia police department under fire for using image of Black man for handgun training class
VILLA RICA, Ga. (WANF/Gray News) - There are calls for changes at a Georgia police department after a controversial post on the department’s Facebook page went viral, WANF reports.
The post showed a silhouette of a Black man being used as a shooting target during a gun training exercise at the Villa Rica Police Department.
“I started getting tagged from all the residents and organizations pertaining to the silhouette target of just this individual Black man, who in my opinion had been dressed to look like a thug,” said Dominique Conteh, president of the Carroll County NAACP branch.
Conteh said the post shows negligence by the department.
“What you start to do is condition people to think this race or these individuals I’ve trained on them, I’ve used them as targets,” he said.
Villa Rica Police Chief Michael Mansour says the department uses a variety of targets approved by the Georgia Peace Officer Standard Training Council.
Mansour said the targets range in age, sex and race.
He said the photos posted were taken out of context.
“We had other photos that show us using other targets, but that one photo and video was put up and that’s where we messed up,” Mansour said.
The Carroll County NAACP shared a letter sent to Mansour on their social media page addressing the controversial Facebook post on the Villa Rica Police Department Facebook page. That post has since been deleted.
Villa Rica Mayor Gil McDougal sent this statement on the recent backlash: “I’d like to speak to you about the offensive post on the Villa Rica Police Department Facebook page that so many have commented on. I am personally embarrassed by it, and as soon as it was brought to my attention last night I and other city staff began to address this situation. This administration will be asking our human resources director and the city attorney to select an outside organization to review how this entire incident came about, not just the post itself. Meanwhile, we are removing the video and images from the post but I have directed that the comments to remain so that people can freely express their opinions about it. This incident does not reflect the values of this community and I will keep you informed as this process continues.’
Moving forward, both sides acknowledge there is room for improvement.
“It was not an intentional act. We do everything we can to not offend anyone,” Mansour said
Conteh said the NAACP will be addressing the situation.
“This is just the beginning. This is just the catalyst and it’s time for a change,” Conteh said.

THE HAGUE, Netherlands (AP) — The International Criminal Court marked the 20th anniversary of its establishment Friday as its prosecutors probed war crimes in countries around the world, including what one expert called a “make or break” investigation in Ukraine.
The court, long criticized for tackling only crimes in Africa and failed prosecutions of senior leaders in Kenya and Ivory Coast, now has investigations underway in 17 countries, from Afghanistan to Ukraine, although the majority of cases are in Africa.
David Crane, the founding chief prosecutor of the Special Court for Sierra Leone that convicted former Liberian President Charles Taylor and others as war criminals, said the Hague-based ICC is a crucial legal institution despite some criticism of its work.
“The ICC is the cornerstone now of how we deal with atrocity crimes at the international level,” Crane told The Associated Press. “With the aggression by the Russian Federation against Ukraine, the ICC must be the lead in holding President Vladimir Putin accountable. This is the ICC’s moment. They have to get this right.”
The court has registered only three war crimes convictions and five for interfering with justice in the 20 years since its founding treaty, the Rome Statute, came into force on July, 1, 2002. Without a police force of its own and relying on national authorities to carry out arrests, getting suspects to The Hague has been a problem from the outset and is likely to remain a critical stumbling block to meting out justice.
And that justice does not come cheap. The court’s budget for 2022 is nearly 155 million euros ($161 million), and it has spent more than 2.2 billion euros ($2.3 billion) over its two-decade life.
A total of 123 countries are members of the court and accept its jurisdiction, but global powers the United States, Russia and China do not. That means that if Prosecutor Karim Khan’s investigations in Ukraine lead to charges against Russian suspects, Moscow is not likely to willingly make them available for trial in The Hague.
Friday’s anniversary should be a moment to “reflect and to try to refresh the process of international justice,” Khan said.
“If we work in a collective manner, I am confident that international justice can accelerate and advance and have the required impact,” he added.
Human rights organization Amnesty International, however, criticized prosecutors’ decisions in recent years including to no investigate alleged crimes by British forces in Iraq and to “deprioritize” a probe into allegations of crimes by U.S. personnel in Afghanistan.
Amnesty International’s Secretary General Agnès Callamard said that the “glimmer of hope” the ICC’s establishment had offered for victims of crimes that the perpetrators would be brought to justice has dimmed.
“But it has appeared to veer off course in recent years, with recent decisions by the ICC Prosecutor raising concerns that the court may be heading towards a hierarchical system of international justice,” she added in a statement that also criticized the prosecution office’s move to seek voluntary funding for its Ukraine investigation.
“ICC states parties must ensure that all of the court’s investigations and activities are fully funded – they must not use their resources and cooperation as tools to influence which situations and parties are investigated. Meanwhile, all states who have not yet done so, including Ukraine, must ratify the Rome Statute,” Amnesty said.
In a statement marking the anniversary, the European Union highlighted the ICC’s achievements and called on nations that have not yet joined to do so.
“Its landmark decisions have contributed to the fight against impunity and the development of international criminal jurisprudence, for example on sexual and gender-based crimes, the recruitment and use of children in armed conflicts and the destruction of cultural property,” the EU said.
Crane conceded that the court, which only takes on cases when local authorities cannot or will not act, “has stumbled from time to time causing a mixed reputation of viability.”
Despite that, “the ICC is a worthy international effort that must be supported. Frankly, we cannot let it fail,” he said. “What the ICC does with its work in Ukraine is a make or break moment.”

Consumer inflation slowed to a still-high 8.2% over the past 12 months
WASHINGTON (AP) — U.S. consumer inflation slowed to a still-high 8.2% over the past 12 months, keeping the pressure on households.
THIS IS A BREAKING NEWS UPDATE. Previous story follows:
WASHINGTON (AP) — Any Americans hoping for relief from months of punishing inflation might not see much in Thursday’s government report on price increases in September.
Lower gas prices will probably reduce overall consumer inflation for a third straight month. But measures of “core” inflation, which are closely watched because they exclude volatile food and energy costs, are expected to return to a four-decade peak.
Economists have estimated that the government’s consumer price index jumped 8.1% in September from 12 months earlier, according to a survey by the data provider FactSet. That is a distressingly large gain, though below the 9.1% year-over-year peak that was reached in June.
Core prices are estimated to have risen 0.4% from August to September, slower than the previous month but still a much faster pace than was typical before the pandemic. Measured over the past 12 months, core prices are forecast to have surged 6.5%, up from 6.3% in August. That’s far above the 2% inflation that the Federal Reserve has long set as its target rate.
Thursday’s report will provide the final inflation figures before the Nov. 8 midterm elections after a campaign season in which spiking prices across the economy have fed widespread public anxiety, with many Republicans casting blame on President Joe Biden and congressional Democrats.
Inflation has escalated families’ grocery bills, rents and utility costs, among many other expenses, inflicting hardships on households and deepening gloom about the economy despite strong job growth and historically low unemployment.
As the election nears, Americans are increasingly taking a dim view of their finances, according to a new poll by The Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research. Roughly 46% of people now describe their personal financial situation as poor, up from 37% in March. That sizable drop contrasts with the mostly steady readings that had lasted through the pandemic.
The September inflation report, whatever it shows, isn’t likely to change the Fed’s plans to keep hiking rates aggressively in an effort to wrest inflation under control. The Fed has boosted its key short-term rate by 3 percentage points since March, the fastest pace of hikes since the early 1980s. Those increases are intended to raise borrowing costs for mortgages, auto loans and business loans and cool inflation by slowing the economy.
Minutes from the Fed’s most recent meeting in late September showed that many policymakers have yet to see any progress in their fight against inflation. The officials projected that they would raise their benchmark rate by an additional 1.25 percentage points over their next two meetings in November and December. Doing so would put the Fed’s key rate at its highest level in 14 years.
Along with lower gas prices, economists expect to see that the prices of used cars tumbled in September after small declines the previous two months. Wholesale used car prices have dropped for most of this year, though the declines have yet to show up in consumer inflation data. (Used vehicle prices had soared in 2021 after factory shutdowns and supply chain shortages reduced production.)
Large retailers, too, have started offering early discounts for the holiday shopping season, after having amassed excess stockpiles of clothes, furniture and other goods earlier this year. Those price cuts might have lowered inflation in September or will do so in the coming months.
Walmart has said it will offer steep discounts on such items as toys, home goods, electronics and beauty. Target began offering holiday deals earlier this month.
Yet prices for services — particularly rents and housing costs — are remaining persistently high and will likely take much longer to come down. Health care services, education and even veterinary services are still rising rapidly in price.
“Services price increases tend to be more persistent than increases in the prices of goods,” Raphael Bostic, president of the Federal Reserve Bank of Atlanta, noted in remarks last week.
Rising rental costs are a tricky issue for the Fed. Real-time data from websites such as ApartmentList suggest that rents on new leases are starting to decline.
But the government’s measure tracks all rent payments — not just those for new leases — and most of them don’t change from month to month. Economists say it could be a year or longer before the declines in new leases feed through to government data.

Which gifts for video gamers are best?
Last year was an incredible year for anyone who loves video games, but buying a gift for a gaming enthusiast can be tough if you aren’t up to speed with this year’s latest and greatest offerings.
While you may have heard about the recently released game streaming service, Google Stadia, the initial reports of performance issues mean you’re probably better off sticking with some of the tried-and-true names in gaming like Nintendo and PlayStation when shopping this holiday.
Here are the top gaming-related presents that we’d be excited to receive for the holidays.
What are the best gaming consoles to buy?
If you’re planning to buy a gaming console for someone, here’s the breakdown of the best and most popular options available.
The Nintendo Switch took the gaming world by storm when it launched in 2017 as the first platform specifically designed to switch between home console and portable system. It’s easy to dock on a TV for traditional gameplay or to quickly convert into handheld or tabletop mode.
Best for: College students who want an easily portable option or adults who grew up playing NES or Nintendo 64.
Sold by Amazon
The recently released Nintendo Switch Lite is more affordable than the original console and is specifically for handheld gameplay. It was optimized as a lightweight and compact system that allows players to enjoy gaming on the go with its vibrant screen and long battery life.
Best for: Kids who want to play games like Super Smash Bros and Pokémon or teens and adults who want the modern version of their old Gameboy Advance or Nintendo DS.
Sold by Amazon
This is the lightest and thinnest PlayStation ever, so it’s streamlined to fit with a high-tech but minimal flatscreen and soundbar setup (or any other rig). It offers its own streaming services that include games, movies, and music, but it can also connect with Netflix and Hulu.
Best for: The person who wants a gaming console and streaming device all in one. The PS4 removes the need for a separate streaming box, so it’s great for the minimalist.
Sold by Amazon
What are the best games for video gamers?
For the person who already owns their favorite gaming console, you might gift them one of these popular games so they can enjoy new adventures.
Pokemon Shield and Pokemon Sword
Players are invited to collect, train, and battle with the 400 different evolutions in what will likely be the most wanted games of the year. With so much to see, secrets to uncover, and online challengers to defeat, these new Pokemon games will keep players engaged for a long while.
Console: Nintendo Switch or Nintendo Switch Lite
Best for: Younger players or nostalgic adults who loved playing Pokémon growing up.
Sold by Amazon
Players take on the role of Cal Kestis, a young Jedi doing his best to survive constant persecution from the Empire and its band of ruthless Imperial Inquisitors as he attempts to revive the Jedi Order. This cinematic game features intense lightsaber battles, exotic worlds to traverse with the aid of impressive Force abilities, and a range of menacing foes.
Console: PlayStation 4, Xbox One, or PC
Best for: Young fans of the recent “Star Wars” movies and series releases or older fans of the original franchise.
Sold by Amazon
Although Mario was historically the more popular of Nintendo’s red and green plumber duo, Luigi has taken off with the younger generation. The skinny green avatar has new tools and skills at his disposal as he navigates situations with the help of various inventions.
Console: Nintendo Switch and Nintendo Switch Lite
Best for: Younger children, especially elementary through college age.
Sold by Amazon
This role-playing game throws players into a galaxy of beautifully designed planets as they attempt to solve the many problems that come with waking up after being cryogenically frozen. Every decision deeply impacts the story as it unfolds all around the player.
Console: Xbox One or PlayStation 4
Best for: Adult players with active, curious imaginations.
Sold by Amazon
Capcom pulled out all the stops when they released a remake of the 1998 survival horror classic earlier this year, but there are more than enough creepy surprises to keep veteran Resident Evil players on their toes. It’s an affordable must-buy for gamers who enjoy a scary story or two.
Console: Xbox One
Best for: Fans of the previous Resident Evil or those who enjoy the horror genre.
Sold by Amazon
What are the best controllers and accessories to buy?
Xbox One Elite Series 2 Controller
The textured rubberized grip, built-in 40-hour battery, hair-trigger locks, adjustable thumbsticks, and Bluetooth connectivity make this the best controller on the market for the Xbox One as well as Windows 10 PC and tablet players who need an extremely customizable controller.
Best for: Those who spend a lot of time playing Xbox One or who want another gameplay option for a PC or tablet.
Sold by Amazon
Wireless GameCube Style Controller for Nintendo Switch
This controller is a blast from the past, as it has the same look and feel of a classic GameCube controller. But now it’s new and improved. It connects wirelessly and has motion controls to be compatible with all modern Nintendo Switch games.
Best for: Nostalgic Nintendo Switch Players who always talk about the simpler gaming consoles of their youth or big fans of Super Smash Bros.
Sold by Amazon
Razer Viper Ultimate Hyperspeed Gaming Mouse
People who prefer to play video games on their PC can feel the difference between a run-of-the-mill mouse and a high-end model. The wireless speed, precise sensor, 70 hours of battery life, and ergonomic design of the Viper Ultimate make all the difference.
Best for: Serious PC gamers.
Sold by Amazon

(The Car Connection) — Jaguar finds itself in the midst of an electric transformation. Like many other automakers, ranging from Dodge to Volvo, the British luxury brand shrinks its lineup of gas vehicles as it plans a big and bright, but still distant, electric future. Three new electric crossover SUVs are planned to launch by 2025, but Jaguar will shift away from the I-Pace and into a more ultra-luxury class with an estimated starting price exceeding $100,000 and doubling that for top performance grades.
In the immediate future arriving in dealerships now, the 2023 Jaguar lineup stays the same, if not a bit thinner. All models will have Apple CarPlay and Android Auto compatibility, as well as Amazon Alexa through Jaguar’s Pivi Pro infotainment system. Also standard on all models except for the F-Type sports car is adaptive cruise control. Jaguar streamlines powertrain options on its low-volume models and raises prices by about $1,500 across the board. Its excellent 5-year/60,000-mile warranty remains, and it includes scheduled maintenance for the same period of time.
Here’s what’s new for the 2023 Jaguar lineup. Prices include a $1,275 destination fee, except where noted.
– The small crossover SUV gets standard adaptive cruise control that restarts from a stop on its own and a new wheel package option.
– The P250 SE shares a 2.0-liter turbo-4 that makes 246 hp and 269 lb-ft of torque with the F-Pace and XF. The 300 Sport is no longer offered. The E-Pace starts at $49,175, which is $1,100 more than last year.
– The five-seat crossover SUV comes with three engine choices and standard AWD across five trims, including a new P550 SVR Edition 1988 that celebrates an XJR that won the 1988 24 Hours of Le Mans. The 1988 edition has a special color combo and is a limited run of 394 units, which represents the number of laps the XJR completed in its winning endurance race.
– The bestselling Jaguar comes with a 2.0-liter turbo-4 making 246 hp and 269 lb-ft in base P250 form for $53,675, or the P250 S for $57,275.
– A mild-hybrid with both a turbo- and supercharger added to a 3.0-liter inline-6 makes 395 hp and 406 lb-ft in P400 R-Dynamic S guise. It costs $66,075.
– The range-topping P550 SVR has the F-Type’s supercharged 5.0-liter V-8 and a starting price of $90,775. The Edition 1988 jumps to $111,275.
– The five-seat electric crossover SUV now has wireless smartphone connectivity, bucket sport seats, and new colors.
– Sold only in HSE trim with a 246-mile range and a 90-kWh battery pack feeding a dual-motor all-wheel-drive system that generates 394 hp and 512 lb-ft, the 2023 I-Pace HSE costs $72,575, which is a $1,400 increase from last year.
– The sports coupe and convertible carries over with a supercharged 5.0-liter V-8 making 444 hp and 428 lb-ft in P450 form with rear- or all-wheel drive. Jaguar tunes that engine to 575 hp and 516 lb-ft in the F-Type R. There is no R-Dynamic model for 2023.
– F-Type pricing increased between $300 and $5,200 over last year, with the P450 RWD starting at $74,675, and AWD adding a whopping $10,500. Convertible versions are $3,300 more. The R tops the lineup at $109,775; the convertible adds $2,700 more.
– The mid-size sedan carries over with P250 S and P250 SE grades powered by the same 2.0-liter turbo-4 as the F-Pace, or a P300 R-Dynamic with AWD making 296 hp and 295 lb-ft.
– Prices increase $1,700 over last year: The P250 S costs $48,275, the P250 SE costs $51,575, and the P300 R Dynamic costs $53,975.

KAMPALA, Uganda (AP) — A U.N. official is urging tech companies to do everything possible to stop the onslaught of hate speech fueling the war in Ethiopia’s north, where a violent war pits federal troops and their allies against Tigray’s rebellious leaders.
Inflammatory language by political leaders and armed groups in the Tigray conflict “continues unabated,” Alice Wairimu Nderitu, U.N. special adviser on the prevention of genocide, said in a statement Wednesday.
“There is discourse often propagated through social media, which dehumanizes groups by likening them to a ‘virus’ that should be eradicated, to a ‘cancer’ that should be treated because ”if a single cell is left untreated, that single cell will expand and affect the whole body” and calling for the “killing of every single youth from Tigray” which is particularly dangerous, the statement said.
Fighting resumed between Tigray forces and federal troops in August, bringing an end to a cease-fire since March that had allowed much-needed aid to enter the region. Eritrean troops are fighting on the side of Ethiopia’s federal military.
Fighting has intensified in recent weeks as federal troops try to take control of towns in Tigray. Earlier this week they took control of three towns, including one hosting a large number of internally displaced people in the Shire area.
Aid distributions are being hampered by a lack of fuel and a communications blackout in Tigray. The AP reported Saturday that a U.N. team found there were “10 starvation-related deaths” at seven camps for internally displaced people in northwestern Tigray, according to an internal document.
The conflict, which began nearly two years ago, has spread from Tigray into the neighboring regions of Afar and Amhara as Tigray’s leaders try to break the blockade of their region.
The head of the continent-wide African Union and the U.N. secretary-general are urging the warring parties to stop fighting and meet for peace talks that were meant to start earlier this month in South Africa. The talks were delayed because of logistical issues.
“The conflict has reached new worrying levels of violence,” with widespread rape and sexual violence, Nderitu said in the statement that cited “horrifying levels of hate speech and incitement to violence.”
“The atrocious abuses taking place are spurred by the deluge of ethnically motivated hate speech that is propagated online,” the statement said, urging tech companies and their social networks to use “all tools available to stop the spread of hate speech that could constitute incitement to discrimination, hostility, or violence on their platforms.”
Millions of people in Tigray, Amhara and Afar have been uprooted from their homes and tens of thousands of people are believed to have been killed in the conflict that started in November 2020.

NEW YORK (AP) — Bank of America’s second quarter profits fell 32%, the latest major U.S. bank to report a dip in earnings after a strong 2021.
A better reflection of performance at the country’s second largest bank this quarter was revenue, which increased from $21.5 billion, to $22.7 billion year over year, largely due to higher interest rates and an increased level of lending.
Quarterly profit fell to $6.2 billion, or 73 cents per share, the bank reported Monday, compared with a profit of $9.2 billion, or $1.03 a share, in the same period a year earlier.
Profits last year were boosted after the bank releasing billions of dollars from its loan loss reserves, which is money the bank set aside in the pandemic to cover potentially bad loans.
JPMorgan Chase, Wells Fargo and Citigroup all reported double-digit profit declines last week, citing similar reasons.
Wall Street is largely focusing on the outlook for the second half of the year because of the potential for a recession that could be triggered by inflation and the Federal Reserve’s aggressive maneuvers to combat rising prices. Last week JPMorgan’s Chairman and CEO Jamie Dimon said inflation, interest rate increases as well as the War in Ukraine were all likely “to have negative consequences on the global economy sometime down the road.”
Bank of America’s top official, Brian Moynihan, was a bit more bullish in his comments about the economy in prepared remarks Monday, saying that the U.S. consumer remains “resilient” despite economic uncertainty.
Shares of Bank of America Corp, based in Charlotte, N.C. fell 2% before the opening bell.

Champion runner Caster Semenya won a potentially landmark legal decision for sports on Tuesday when the European Court of Human Rights decided she was discriminated against by rules in track and field that force her to medically reduce her natural hormone levels to compete in major competitions.
But the two-time Olympic champion’s success after her two failed appeals in sports’ highest court in 2019 and the Swiss supreme court in 2020 came with a major caveat. The ruling didn’t strike down the rules and the world track and field body said soon after it was released that the contentious testosterone regulations would “remain in place.”
While the 32-year-old Semenya is fighting to be allowed to run again without restrictions, that might still take years, if it happens at all. It’s unlikely she’d be able to go for another gold in the 800 meters at next year’s Olympics in Paris. Next month’s world championships, where she has won three titles, are almost certainly not an option.
The South African athlete’s legal challenge has taken five years so far and it could take equally as long for the process of rolling back the cases through the different courts.
Tuesday’s ruling, although significant and a victory for Semenya, only opened the way for the Swiss supreme court to reconsider its decision. That might result in the case going back to the Court of Arbitration for Sport in Lausanne. Only then might the rules enforced by world track body World Athletics be possibly removed.
Still, Semenya’s lawyers said the victory established an important principle.
“Caster has never given up her fight to be allowed to compete and run free,” Semenya’s lawyers said in a statement. “This important personal win for her is also a wider victory for elite athletes around the world. It means that sporting governance bodies around the world must finally recognize that human rights law and norms apply to the athletes they regulate.”
In a 4-3 ruling by a panel of judges, the Strasbourg, France-based human rights court said “serious questions” over the “validity” of the international athletics regulations were “left open” in Semenya’s previous challenge at sports court CAS. In her second appeal, the Swiss supreme court had failed to respond to “serious concerns” of discrimination, the European rights court said.
Semenya has been barred by the rules from running in her favorite 800-meter race since 2019 because she has refused to artificially suppress her testosterone. She has lost four years of her career at her peak.
World Athletics showed no sign of changing its position in the wake of the verdict, saying two hours after it was released that the rules would stay.
“We remain of the view that the … regulations are a necessary, reasonable and proportionate means of protecting fair competition in the female category as the Court of Arbitration for Sport and Swiss Federal Tribunal both found,” World Athletics said.
World Athletics also said it would be “encouraging” the government of Switzerland to appeal. Switzerland was the respondent in the case because Semenya was challenging her last legal loss in the Swiss supreme court. Switzerland’s government has three months to appeal.
The Swiss government was also ordered to pay Semenya 60,000 euros ($66,000) for costs and expenses.
The ruling could ultimately have repercussions for other high-profile Olympic sports like swimming, which also has rules barring female athletes with high natural testosterone. Soccer, the world’s most popular sport, is reviewing its eligibility rules for women and could set limits on testosterone.
While Semenya has been at the center of the highly emotive issue of sex eligibility in sports for nearly 15 years and is the issue’s figurehead, she is not the only runner affected. At least three other Olympic medalists have also been impacted by the rules that set limits on the level of natural testosterone that female athletes may have. World Athletics says there are “a number” of other elite athletes who fall under the regulations.
There are no testosterone limits in place for male athletes.
Semenya’s case is not the same as the debate over transgender women who have transitioned from male to female being allowed to compete in sports, although the two issues do have crossover.
Semenya was identified as female at birth, raised as a girl and has been legally identified as female her entire life. She has one of a number of conditions known as differences in sex development, or DSDs, which cause naturally high testosterone that is in the typical male range.
Semenya says her elevated testosterone should simply be considered a genetic gift, and critics of the rules have compared it to a basketballer’s height or a swimmer’s long arms.
While track authorities can’t challenge Semenya’s legal gender, they say her condition includes her having the typical male XY chromosome pattern and physical traits that make her “biologically male,” an assertion that has enraged Semenya. World Athletics says Semenya’s testosterone levels give her an athletic advantage comparable to a man competing in women’s events and there needs to be rules to address that.
Track has enforced rules since 2019 that require athletes like Semenya to artificially reduce their testosterone to below a specific mark, which is measured through the amount of testosterone recorded in their blood. They can do that by taking daily contraceptive pills, having hormone-blocking injections, or undergoing surgery. If athletes choose one of the first two options, they would effectively need to do it for their entire careers to remain eligible to compete regularly.
Semenya has fought against the regulations and has refused to follow them since 2019, saying they were discriminatory.
The European Court of Human Rights agreed and also said there was a violation of Semenya’s right for her private life to be respected. It also found for Semenya on another point of her appeal, that she hadn’t been given “effective remedy” for her claims of discrimination.
“Serious questions as to the validity” of the testosterone rules had been left unanswered, the rights court said, including over any side effects from the hormone treatment athletes would have to undergo, the difficulties in them remaining within the rules by trying to control their natural hormone levels, and the “lack of evidence” that their high natural testosterone actually gave them an advantage anyway.
That last point struck at the heart of the regulations, which World Athletics has always said is about dealing with the unfair sports advantage it says Semenya has over other women.
Going against the international track body, South Africa’s national track federation said it was “delighted” with Tuesday’s verdict.
The rules have been made stricter since Semenya launched her case at the European rights court and athletes now have to reduce their testosterone level to an even lower mark. The updated regulations also apply to every event and not just Semenya’s favored race range between 400 meters and one mile, which they did previously.
Semenya won gold in the 800 meters at the 2012 and 2016 Olympics but was prevented from defending her title at the Tokyo Olympics in 2021 because of the regulations.

(NEXSTAR) – Beloved “Wheel of Fortune” host Pat Sajak announced Monday that he will be retiring as host of the game show.
A four-decade run will come to a close at the end of the upcoming season.
“Well, the time has come. I’ve decided that our 41st season, which begins in September, will be my last,” Sajak said in a statement. “It’s been a wonderful ride, and I’ll have more to say in the coming months. Many thanks to you all.”
Sajak, who is 76, made the announcement on social media, joking, “If nothing else, it’ll keep the clickbait sites busy!”
A statement from the show’s account replied:
“Thank you to the best host in the biz. Wheel of Fortune would not be what it is today without you, Pat. Looking forward to Season 41 being better than ever!”
Wishes of congratulations and thanks poured in from viewers, including from multiple people who recounted their own experiences as a contestant.
Sajak, who took over hosting duties in 1981, was joined a year later by Vanna White. The two have been mainstays in American living rooms ever since.
Before hosting “Wheel of Fortune,” Sajak joined Los Angeles’ KNBC as a weatherman in 1977. Four years later he was tapped by the game show’s creator, Merv Griffin, to take over hosting duties.
“The nice thing about working in local TV in LA,” Sajak once said, “is that decision makers are watching you every night.”

Shipping companies reach $97M California oil spill agreement
SANTA ANA, Calif. (AP) — Shipping companies have agreed to pay nearly $97 million to settle a lawsuit with a pipeline operator over a 2021 oil spill off the coast of Southern California. Amplify Energy, the Houston-based company that operates the pipeline, said Wednesday that companies associated with the M/V Danit and M/V Beijing had agreed to the payments. Amplify accused the vessels of dragging anchors and striking the pipeline during a January 2021 storm. Months later, the pipeline leaked 25,000 gallons (94,600 liters) of crude oil into the Pacific Ocean, shuttering beaches and fisheries. Messages were sent to attorneys for the shipping companies.

Speaking in a virtual panel discussion hosted by the Justice for Greenwood Foundation Thursday night, legal experts called the city of Tulsa's process for gathering DNA in their 1921 Tulsa Race Massacre graves investigation the "worst possible scenario," "dangerous" and "reckless."
They also urged Greenwood and north Tulsa residents to think twice before volunteering their DNA to an all-Black database.
Law professors Eric Miller and Elizabeth Joh both said the database being created in an effort to identify massacre victims would have serious privacy and safety implications when it comes to police investigations and who will have access to the DNA database.
"The bottom line, big worry, is when programs create DNA databases comprised of only Black people's DNA, we have to be really sure these databases will not be messed around with," said Miller, a professor at Loyola Marymount University in Los Angeles. "The city of Tulsa's program is the worst possible scenario."
Because there are only two samples right now, the city has no time frame on how long they will keep the DNA database as they may get more viable DNA from the remains later on in the investigation.
Joh, a professor at the University of California Davis School of Law, said though she understands the importance of the identification of the remains, she would not take part in the DNA-gathering project because of the open-ended questions the database brings in policing issues particularly in Black communities.
Police can now match people to crime scene DNA using even distant relatives' DNA obtained on genealogy sites, like the ones used in the city of Tulsa's graves investigation project, and that power can be mismanaged.
"They never intended for their DNA to be used for criminal investigation purposes," Joh said of people who use commercial genealogy sites. "One of the big cautionary tales here is once you provide genetic information to any kind of database ... you're losing control of that information, not just for yourself, but for your entire genetic family tree."
The city of Tulsa is working with Intermountain Forensics in Utah to do genetic genealogy on the Oaklawn remains, and the project will use the consumer genealogy website GEDMatch to gather the DNA from community members, according to a video posted on the city of Tulsa's YouTube channel .
Joh says GEDMatch and every other genealogy site has been accessed by law enforcement around the country for investigations, and it's important to focus on privacy in this project.
"Other cities will look to what's being done (in Tulsa) as a first, so that's why I think it's important to highlight privacy," Joh said. "This idea of consent, who has consented to having their DNA used in this way? Consent is really important when you think about a community that has distrust of the way their information has been used (historically), I think the fact that's not a leading value in the discussions ... is a real problem."
Alison Wilde, the genealogy case manager for Intermountain Forensics, said in the city's video that GEDMatch has an opt-in and opt-out setting for a person's DNA sample to be compared with law enforcement samples.
Miller said it's not that simple, though, as police officers can log onto these sites as private citizens or obtain search warrants to work around these settings.
With so many unanswered safety questions, including how long the project will keep these DNA samples, Miller said now isn't the appropriate time for the city to ask Tulsans to volunteer their DNA.
"What the city is doing is trading on the genuine, heartfelt desire of the (massacre) descendant community to find out the truth and help out without making any effort to do that itself," Miller said. "The city should at least wait until it has enough samples to make this process one in which asking for community buy in is appropriate. It hasn't done that, and it's asking for an already traumatized and vulnerable community to make itself even more vulnerable."
Greg Robinson, a member of the graves investigation oversight committee, said this kind of action perpetuates attitudes that created the system that forced Greenwood residents to wait 101 years for answers, and people need to be cautious of just Trusting the system."
"It was misuse and corruption of a police department that got us into this situation," Robinson said of the lack of an investigation after the massacre. "It was abusing Black people that got us in this situation, so we can't repeat the attitudes and the processes that got us into this situation and expect to have different results. The answer for this has never been and will never be, 'let the system take care of it and you all just trust that.'"
The 1921 Tulsa Race Massacre graves oversight committee will meet Sept. 13 where Intermountain Forensics team members will "provide an update on the process being used for the genealogy and DNA analysis" for the Oaklawn remains, according to a city news release.

Timeline: The 1921 Tulsa Race Massacre
Tulsa in 1921: 'Oil Capital of the World'
The Tulsa of 1921 was a humming, bustling place that reveled in the title “Oil Capital of the World.” It had earned the name by making itself into the financial, manufacturing and transportation hub of the great Mid-Continent oilfields surrounding it. From barely 1,000 inhabitants in 1898, it had grown to more than 72,000. Tulsa County’s population was about 110,000, making it the most densely populated and fastest-growing county in the state.

Tulsa's 1921 demographics
Most Tulsans were native-born and white. A surprisingly small number – fewer than 1,000 – identified themselves as American Indians. About 9,000 were black, with most of them living in the community centered on Greenwood Avenue northeast of downtown Tulsa. Most black Tulsans worked as laborers and domestics, but a substantial number were teachers, lawyers, doctors and other professionals.

Tulsa and Greenwood
Tulsa, like the rest of Oklahoma, was racially segregated. Greenwood had its own schools, its own post office substation, its own police station and its own branch library. It also had its own thriving commercial district, which Booker T. Washington had called the “Black Wall Street of America.”

Modern Tulsa began in 1882
Only two decades earlier, Tulsa had barely mustered the 1,000 inhabitants necessary for incorporation. Two decades before that, it did not exist at all. Tullasi – or “Old Town” – a Lochapoka Creek village established in the 1830s near present-day 18th Street and Cheyenne Avenue disappeared during the Civil War. In 1879, the first official use of the name “Tulsa” appeared on a U.S. Post Office operating out of the Perryman Ranch headquarters near present-day 41st Street and Trenton Avenue. Modern Tulsa, though, began in 1882, when a small tent city sprang up around Atlantic and Pacific Railroad where it met the Arkansas River.

Glenn Pool oil field
The discovery of the Glenn Pool oil field in 1905 fueled Tulsa's ambitions. Subsequent discoveries in the surrounding countryside transformed Tulsa from cow town to budding metropolis.

World War I creates petroleum demand
With World War I came a great surge in demand for petroleum products. As much as 20 percent of the oil powering the Allied armies passed through Tulsa's pipeline terminals, refineries and rail yards. Some $36 million in building permits were issued from 1917 to 1921, with such lasting landmarks as Central High School, the Exchange National Bank, First National Bank, Cosden, City Hall, Mayo, McFarlin, Sinclair, U.S. Post Office and Atlas Life buildings completed or started.

T.D Evans elected Tulsa mayor
Tulsa politics could be bumptious. The electorate was more or less evenly divided between Republican and Democrat, and with city elections held every two years, changes in administration were frequent. In 1920, real estate attorney and former municipal judge T.D. Evans, a Republican, was elected mayor on a single-plank platform: to push through a bond issue to pay for a reservoir on Spavinaw Creek, 90 miles away, and the pipeline to bring fresh water to Tulsa.

Mary Seaman
Three of the four city commissioners elected that year were also Republicans, as was City Auditor Mary Seaman, the first woman to hold municipal office in Tulsa. The recently hired police chief, John Gustafson, was a former railroad detective and private investigator whose appointment had been opposed by Tulsa County Sheriff Willard McCullough. A former cowboy with an elegant handlebar moustache, McCullough had served as Tulsa County sheriff off and on since statehood and had been returned to office in 1920 after the incumbent, Jim Woolley, failed to prevent the lynching of a suspected murderer.

Tulsa law enforcement
Crime and law enforcement were important issues in Tulsa. Less than two weeks before the massacre, Oklahoma Assistant Attorney General Katherine VanLeuven led an investigation of the Tulsa Police Department that revealed a poorly trained and sometimes corrupt force so ill-equipped it did not have a single reliable automobile. When officers need transportation to crime scenes, they were taken in private cars driven by volunteer citizens.

Race issues in Tulsa and Oklahoma
During the course of the investigation, a Southern Methodist minister named Harold Cooke touched on underlying racial tension. An open proponent of vigilantism and unabashed racist, Cooke complained bitterly of blacks and whites drinking and dancing together in road houses and speakeasies, and of black porters in cheap hotels acting as agents for white prostitutes.
In Tulsa, as in the rest of Oklahoma and throughout the United States, race was an important issue. Many states, including Oklahoma, tried to keep blacks from voting and restricted their activities, sometimes through so-called “Jim Crow” laws and sometimes through intimidation. Increasingly, blacks resisted discrimination. From Washington, D.C., to Chicago to the rural Arkansas delta, racial conflict degenerated into deadly armed violence.

Greenwood: Home to doctors, lawyers, teachers and exceptional schools
Though far from ideal, Tulsa was considered a better place than most for blacks. Besides the thriving business district, Greenwood attracted a relatively large number of doctors, lawyers and teachers. Its schools, though poorly funded, were exceptional. The Tulsa Star, a lively weekly newspaper edited by A.J. Smitherman, promoted independence and unity, and exhorted blacks to stand up for their rights.
Three weeks before the massacre, a middle-aged black couple was arrested in Tulsa for refusing to sit in the back of a street car. They were fined $10.

Drexel Building
On Monday, May 30, 1921, a young black man named Dick Rowland got onto an elevator on the third floor of the Drexel Building at 319 S. Main St. For some reason, he came into contact with Sarah Page, the white elevator operator, and Page cried out. Her cry was heard by a store clerk, who called police.
The Drexel Building, at 319 S. Main St., was four stories tall. Renberg’s Department Store occupied the first two floors, with offices and small businesses upstairs.
The building was probably quiet that morning. It was Memorial Day and most downtown stores, including Renberg’s, were closed. Rain dampened the holiday activities, including a parade.
Although Dick Rowland seems to have been fairly well known, his true identity is a bit of a mystery. He is generally identified as the son of Dave and Alice “Ollie” Rowland, who operated a boarding house in the Piro Building on East Archer Street. Some sources, though, say his name was actually John or Johnny Rowland, and that he was the adopted son or even grandson of Dave Rowland. Damie Rowland, Dave and Alice’s daughter, said in a 1972 interview that she had taken in young Johnny while living in Vinita and that he had been born in Arkansas. The 1920 Census listing for the Rowland household includes an adopted son named John who had been born in Texas.
Adding to the uncertainty is a slight age discrepancy. The Census recorded John Rowland’s age as 16 in 1920. Dick Rowland’s age, when he was arrested a year later, was given as 19.
Almost nothing is known of Sarah Page. Originally described as a 17-year-old orphan working her way through business college, it later developed that she may have been as young as 15 and had come to Tulsa from Kansas City while waiting for a divorce to be finalized.
Some, including Damie Rowland, have fostered the notion that Page and Rowland were romantically involved. Though possibly true, the story cannot be verified through contemporary accounts.
People who knew Rowland said the elevator did not stop level with the third-floor threshold, causing him to trip as he entered the car and fall against Page. Police later said that whatever happened, it was almost certainly not intentional. In any case, Page’s cry caught the attention of a Renberg’s employee, who apparently summoned police. Rowland fled, but Page and the clerk, if not actually naming the man she said attacked her, supplied enough of a description that authorities had no difficulty locating him.

“Nab Negro for Attacking Girl in Elevator”
Rowland’s arrest the next morning was reported in a front-page story in that afternoon’s Tulsa Tribune. Headlined “Nab Negro for Attacking Girl in Elevator,” the somewhat sensational account reported, accurately if perhaps imprudently, that Rowland was to be charged with attempted assault. It said Rowland scratched Page and tore her clothes.
This, in the parlance of the day, was tantamount to an accusation of attempted rape. The mere suggestion of attempted assault, when it involved a white woman, had in the past triggered gruesome lynchings from Duluth, Minn., to the Florida swamps.
Tulsa World File
Tulsa Tribune
Some sources say the Tribune also published an editorial, under the headline “To Lynch Negro Tonight.” This is possible, but does not seem likely. For one, the Tribune actually editorialized against lynching, both before and after the massacre. A call for vigilante justice would have been almost inconceivably inconsistent.
Also, no such editorial has ever been found. This in itself does not prove one didn’t exist. The only known copies of the May 31, 1921, Tribune were an early “state” edition – essentially a reprint of the previous day’s last edition, and therefore of no use – and a microfilm image of a file copy, made in the 1940s. The front page arrest story had been torn from this paper and part of the back page – the editorial page – was missing. This has led to speculation that the inflammatory editorial was torn out along with the arrest story.
Again, this is possible but not probable.
A surviving “state” edition of June 1, 1921 – the state edition being a virtual reprint of the previous day’s last edition – shows the arrest story on the front page. The space where the missing editorial would have been is a piece on European disarmament.
The editorials could have been switched, but a more likely explanation is that confusion arose over an editorial that appeared on the front page of the June 1 Tribune. This editorial condemned lynching but included the phrase “a story starts that a negro in the county jail was to be lynched.”
Finally, and perhaps most tellingly, the Tribune’s three loudest critics – the rival Tulsa World, the Oklahoma City Black Dispatch and the NAACP – never mentioned an editorial in their attacks on the newspaper.
Tulsa World File
NAACP and The Black Dispatch
The NAACP’s Walter White blamed the Tribune’s use of the word “assault.” The Black Dispatch reprinted the May 31 arrest story under the headline “The False Story which set Tulsa on Fire.” The World, on June 1, tweaked the Tribune for its “colored account” of the elevator incident.
Page, who seems to have fled the city on June 1, subsequently wrote to the county attorney, asking that the charges against Rowland be dropped. The case was dismissed at the end of September.
Just how much the Tribune story actually contributed to what followed has been debated since the day it appeared. Police Chief John Gustafson and police commissioner J.M. Adkison minimized its importance, and word of Rowland’s arrest almost certainly would have gotten around anyway. But others – including, according to one report, Gov. J.B.A. Robertson – thought the story was the root cause of the massacre.
'We are going to lynch that negro'
At 4 p.m., an anonymous caller told Police Commissioner J.M. Adkison, “We are going to lynch that negro, that black devil who assaulted that girl.” Adkison and Police Chief John Gustafson arranged to move Rowland from the city jail to the more secure county lockup on the top floor of the courthouse at Sixth Street and Boulder Avenue.
Whites, attracted by the rumors, began gathering at the courthouse until they numbered an estimated 2,000.
Adkison and Gustafson wanted Sheriff Willard McCullough to take Rowland out of town, but McCullough refused. He reasoned that Rowland was safer in the jail than in a car on an open road somewhere. In this, McCullough was no doubt correct, but there is some indication that Adkison and Gustafson thought spiriting Rowland out of town would disperse the crowd. This was, in fact, a tactic that had worked elsewhere.
McCullough, though, was not about to make the same mistake his friend and rival Jim Woolley had the previous year, when Woolley had allowed a mob to take murder suspect Roy Belton from the jail. The lynching that ensued essentially ended Woolley’s career in elective office and led to McCullough’s election as sheriff in November 1920.
Rather than risk trying to sneak Rowland out of town, McCullough put him in a cell, ordered the only elevator to the jail disabled and had six of his deputies barricade themselves inside with the prisoner. McCullough, Deputy Barney Cleaver and County Commissioner Ira Short remained behind, with McCullough and Cleaver, a black man with a long career in Tulsa law enforcement, trying to disperse the crowd outside.
Interestingly, no police seem to have been in evidence at the courthouse. Some sources say bad relations between the sheriff’s and police departments contributed to the failure to control the situation before it got out of hand.

Rising tension
Sheriff McCullough said Barney Cleaver, one of his black deputies, was the first to inform him of the threats on Rowland’s life. Cleaver, the sheriff said, had telephoned to tell him of a call, apparently similar to the one to Adkison, received at a north side motion picture theater.
This call was taken very seriously. Although Tulsa did not have a history of racial violence – the 1920 lynching victim, Roy Belton, was white – it did have more than its share of vigilantism. During World War I, citizens had been harassed and beaten in the name of patriotism, often under color of the local Council of Defense or the Home Guard, a local militia organized to replace National Guard units called into active duty.
Mary Jones Parrish, a young black woman who would record her recollections and those of others in a little book called “Events of the Tulsa Disaster,” said she went outside on the night of May 31 to find “that some of our group were going to give added protection to (Rowland).”
At least two earlier contingents of concerned blacks had already visited the courthouse. McCullough and Cleaver assured them that Rowland was in good hands and persuaded them to return to Greenwood.
The intent of the white crowd is difficult to gauge. Not surprisingly, officials later described the white crowd, at least initially, as more curious than hostile. Without radio, much less television, the only way to see what was happening was to go in person.
But the crowd was not completely docile, either. McCullough was hooted down, the World reported, when he tried to disperse the whites. Shortly before the shooting started, a band of irate whites presented themselves at the National Guard Armory, about a mile east of the courthouse, demanding weapons and threatening to break in when they were denied.
Oklahoma National Guard
In any event, McCullough said the only effort to get at Rowland occurred at 8:20 p.m., when three unidentified white men entered the courthouse.
“I … told them there had been some talk of a lynching and that they might as well get out for no one was going to get the negro,” McCullough said. “They went out and got into an auto on Boulder street and talked loudly and gesticulated and soon a crowd gathered.”
It was at that point, McCullough said, that he ordered his men to run the building’s lone elevator to the top floor, disable it and barricade themselves inside the jail.
Over the next hour and a half, McCullough received several telephone calls from concerned black leaders as well as from Maj. James A. Bell of the local Oklahoma National Guard. McCullough assured all of them the situation was under control.
Gustafson was more concerned. But, instead of trying to break up the crowd at the courthouse, he focused his attention on the armed blacks. Eventually, he asked Bell for help “to clear the streets of negroes,” but Bell told him only the governor could call the local guardsmen into service.

'All hell broke loose'
At about 10 p.m., a former county investigator named E.S. MacQueen confronted a black man, sometimes identified as Johnny Cole, in front of the courthouse. As MacQueen and Cole wrestled over the latter’s gun, it discharged. As more than one person observed, “All hell broke loose.”
The crowd scattered. McCullough, who had been trying to talk to the crowd, ran for cover in a nearby hotel. Walter Daggs, an oil company manager who lived near the courthouse was shot and killed, apparently by a stray bullet. Sixteen-year-old Homer Cline was killed as he left the bank where he worked. A.B. Stick, gunned down outside the Hotel Tulsa, was reported certain to die but somehow survived.
Some sources say a black man was killed at the courthouse, others say not. The World said an unidentified black man was chased down in an alley and killed – then said no black fatalities had been reported. News of fatalities and injuries was often fragmentary, second-hand and contradictory. Cleo Shumate, a white tool dresser, was reported to have been shot about 8 p.m., well before the massacre began.
Denied weapons at the National Guard armory, whites – including some police – broke into Bardon’s Sporting Goods at 510 S. Main St., across the street from the courthouse, and began taking guns, ammunition and just about everything else in sight. Police involvement may be partially explained by the fact that Bardon’s seems to have sold ammunition to the department on a regular basis.
Looting, all of it by rampaging whites, was reported throughout downtown, as shots whizzed haphazardly. Gustafson called in his entire force – around 65 men – and Adkison began commissioning “special deputies” – perhaps as many as 400 of them. Oklahoma National Guard Adjutant Gen. Charles Barrett told Col. L.J.F. Rooney, senior office in Tulsa, to make his troops available to local authorities, even though it would be hours before they could be officially called to duty.
The first few Guardsmen to arrive at police headquarters found the street choked with men in uniform – American Legion members, assembled in formation. Although no doubt well-intentioned, their presence initially added to the general chaos. With “much promiscuous shooting,” the World reported, the ex-soldiers marched through the business district. Fortunately, the newspaper said, “no one was hurt.”
According to the World, shooting continued for two hours “over the city and centered in the north part of the business district,” until the last of the blacks had retreated into Greenwood.

Seeking National Guard assistance
The shots at the courthouse touched off two hours of fighting and general chaos in downtown Tulsa, culminating in the return of Rowland’s intended protectors to the Greenwood area shortly after midnight. The handful of National Guardsmen available, along with some volunteers, tried to get between the combatants along the Frisco Railroad tracks and Detroit Avenue. Although the fighting never completely stopped, it did die down during the early morning hours, causing many to believe the massacre was playing itself out.
Col. L.J.F. Rooney, the senior officer among the Tulsa National Guard units, wanted to establish an armed perimeter around Greenwood but gave up the idea as impractical.
“We didn’t have enough men,” Rooney said. “It would have taken at least 1,000 men to restore any degree of order and to put an effective guard line about the negro district would have required that many more.”
At about 1:30 a.m., Maj. Byron Kirkpatrick of the Oklahoma National Guard finally secured the necessary signatures for the telegram formally asking Gov. J.B.A. Robertson for National Guard assistance.
Guardsmen come under fire from both sides
Kirkpatrick’s primary obstacle had been getting to Sheriff McCullough, who was still barricaded in the top floor of the courthouse, threatening to shoot anybody who showed himself in the stairwell leading to the jail. A Tulsa World reporter finally persuaded McCullough to let him in with the telegram.
Three National Guard units were based in Tulsa – a rifle company, a supply company and a sanitary (or medical) unit. An artillery unit had been authorized and was in the process of forming but had not been equipped. On the night of May 31 and morning of June 1, the Tulsa units had perhaps 35 men under arms. This did not include the medical unit, which was employed primarily in caring for wounded and injured blacks.
Besides the guardsmen, Rooney had at his disposal, at least in theory, several hundred ex-servicemen, most of them members of American Legion posts in Tulsa, Cleveland, Okla., Broken Arrow and Bristow. Rooney put these men under the command of Major Charles Daley, a Tulsa police inspector and staff officer to Adjutant Gen. Charles Barrett.
Restoring order along the Frisco tracks was not the only concern of the authorities. Rumors persisted throughout the night that hundreds of blacks were descending on Tulsa, reinforcing the notion of a “Negro uprising” and causing Rooney to stretch his men even thinner. Squads were sent to guard the city power plant and water works, while the police, ex-servicemen and the special deputies roamed the city in “auto patrols,” rounding up blacks living in servant quarters outside Greenwood and looking for the supposed invaders.
Rooney and about 30 men and officers established themselves along Detroit Avenue, on a rise called Standpipe Hill, where gunfire had been exchanged between adjoining white and black neighborhoods. The Guardsmen came under fire from both sides and an ex-serviceman named Wheeler, who had volunteered to join the Guard unit, was seriously wounded by a white gunman.

At dawn
At dawn, a force of “citizens, police and members of the national guard,” numbering perhaps 1,500, moved into Greenwood from the south and west, under orders to take into protective custody unarmed blacks and to subdue any who resisted. To people in Greenwood, it looked more like an invading army.
“It then dawned upon us that the enemy had organized in the night and was invading our district, the same as the Germans invaded France and Belgium,” wrote Mary Jones Parrish, a Greenwood resident who recorded her experience and those of some of her neighbors in a pamphlet called “Events of the Tulsa Disaster.”
Authorities, still operating on the premise of a “Negro uprising,” maintained they wanted to get control of Greenwood, not destroy it. They failed on both counts.
Most Greenwood residents surrendered peacefully or fled northward. Many were hidden by employers or other acquaintances and sometimes even total strangers. The few who stayed behind to fight were overwhelmed.
The National Guard reported engaging in several short skirmishes as it moved down from Standpipe Hill – the hill just west of the present Oklahoma State University-Tulsa campus – and one longer battle in which about 50 blacks “fought like tigers.” The last organized resistance came from gunmen in the Mount Zion Baptist Church tower. When they refused to come out, the new church, valued at $80,000, was set on fire.

'And the invasion of the negro district began'
Along the Frisco tracks, Maj. Charles Daley and about 25 men were trying to hold back an angry horde of perhaps 1,000. Daley said he repeatedly sent for help from the police, but was told they were “busy elsewhere.”
“Finally the crowd broke away from Daley,” reported The Tulsa Tribune, “and the invasion of the negro district began.”

Greenwood's destruction
As Tulsa’s black population was rounded up and taken to detention centers at the Convention Hall (present-day Brady Theater), McNulty Park (10th Street and Elgin Avenue) and later the fairgrounds (Admiral Boulevard and Lewis Avenue), looters and vandals descended on the Greenwood district, setting fires and stealing and destroying residents’ possessions.
Some of those involved were the very people who were supposed to bring order to the chaos. Among them were the “special deputies” appointed during the night by Adkison. So was the Home Guard, a militia organized during World War I to replace National Guard units called to active duty. During the war, the Home Guard singled out and terrorized those it deemed insufficiently supportive of the war effort. It also took action against those it considered immoral. Although officially disbanded in 1919, members of the Home Guard apparently put on their old uniforms and waded into the fray on the morning of June 1, 1921.

'They joined in with the hoodlums in shooting at good citizens’ homes'
“Most people, like myself, stayed in their homes, expecting momentarily to be given protection by the Home Guards or State Troops,” E.A. Loupe told Mary Jones Parrish. “Instead of protection by the Home Guards, they joined in with the hoodlums in shooting at good citizens’ homes.”

Complaints of khaki clothes
Col. L.J.F. Rooney, the senior National Guard officer in Tulsa, complained that “there were many men in the negro district wearing khaki clothes (i.e. uniforms) who were not members of the national guard.”

'Even women with shopping bags would come in'
Tulsa police also seem to have been involved in the mayhem. More than one witness identified officers, usually out of uniform, among the arsonists. V.B. Bostic, a black deputy sheriff, was rousted from his home by a white traffic officer named Pittman, who then joined in setting fire to Bostic’s house. I.J. Buck, a white Greenwood property owner, said a policeman turned him aside when Buck tried to save one of his buildings.
“He said: ‘You ain’t got no business building buildings for negroes,’ ” Buck testified in court.
“After the homes vacated,” said one Greenwood resident, “one bunch of whites would come in and loot. Even women with shopping bags would come in, open drawers, take every kind of finery from clothing to silverware and jewelry. Men were carrying out the furniture, cursing as they do so, saying, ‘These damned Negroes have better things than lots of white people.’ ”
Fire soon consumed Greenwood’s main business district and more than 1,100 homes. Only a few houses, one or two churches on the perimeter of the community and Booker T. Washington High School survived.
“Nothing,” the Tulsa World’s Tom Latta wrote the next day, “that the mind is capable of conceiving permits a word of defense or excuse for the murderous vandalism” inflicted on Greenwood.

Dr. A.C. Jackson
The most prominent Tulsan killed in the massacre was Dr. A.C. Jackson, a 40-year-old surgeon living at 523 N. Detroit Ave. According to Jackson’s white neighbor, former police commissioner and retired judge John Oliphant, Jackson had raised his hands to surrender to a group of whites when two of them shot Jackson dead in what Oliphant called “cold-blooded murder.”
Born in Memphis and raised in Guthrie, where his father was a law officer, Jackson graduated from Meharry Medical College in Nashville, practiced for awhile in Tulsa and Claremore, then trained as a surgeon in Memphis. His work was such that he attracted the attention of the Mayo Brothers, and in 1919 he returned to Tulsa as a specialist in “chronic diseases and surgery for women.”
Jackson lived on what was one of the most exclusive blocks in all of Greenwood. His neighbors included Booker T. Washington High School principal E.W. Woods, Tulsa Star publisher A.J. Smitherman and physician R.T. Bridgewater. Why Jackson, one of the gentlest of men, would have been singled out is not known. Perhaps he was mistaken for the more outspoken Smitherman or Bridgewater. Perhaps he was just in the wrong place at the wrong time.
The massacre had all but died down, Oliphant said, when Jackson “came walking toward me with his hands in the air. ‘Here am I. I want to go with you,’ he said. A body of about seven men, all armed, intercepted him and two young fellows fired on him. He fell to the ground and one of the men fired again.”
Jackson’s killers were never identified.

Oklahoma Gov. J.B.A. Robertson declares martial law
By mid-morning on June 1, the violence and destruction were beginning to subside. Tulsa-based National Guardsmen, soon reinforced by units from Oklahoma City, Bartlesville and other communities, began securing the Greenwood area. At 11:15 a.m., Gov. J.B.A. Robertson declared martial law with Adj. Gen. Charles Barrett in command. Some looting continued through the afternoon, until by evening about 30 whites had been arrested for “pillaging.”
According to some accounts, the Oklahoma City units, which included a machine gun company, were involved in the final attack on Mount Zion Baptist Church. This is not mentioned in any of the officers’ action reports and seems unlikely since those troops did not arrive until 9:30 a.m., by which time the church was already on fire.
A lawyer and former newspaper publisher who had served in the Oklahoma House and Senate, Barrett had limited military experience but was a fair administrator. He issued a number of field orders, some of which have since been misinterpreted.
For instance, Barrett temporarily banned all funerals in downtown churches. Over time, this was seen as an attempt to keep blacks from burying their dead. In fact, it had almost no effect on black funerals, since those would not have been held in the downtown white churches, anyway. The purpose of the ban was to keep grieving white families from coming into contact with blacks still staying in some downtown churches.
Barrett also ordered a moratorium on property transfers in Greenwood. This was to head off speculation and forced sales.
Martial law was eased on June 2 and lifted altogether at 5 p.m. on June 3.

Detainees subject to harassment and humiliation
By mid-day on June 1, Greenwood had been emptied of all but a handful of its inhabitants. A few found refuge in downtown churches or the homes of white employers, acquaintances and even strangers. Fewer still somehow rode out the massacre in their own homes. The majority by far had either fled the city or been taken into what was described as protective custody.
Forced to march for blocks through white neighborhoods with their hands in the air while their homes and possessions burned behind them, the detainees were subject to harassment and humiliation. Some were robbed of whatever valuables they had managed to stuff in their pockets.
They were taken first to Convention Hall, now the Brady Theater. It soon proved inadequate, and McNulty Park, the local minor league baseball stadium at 10th Street and Elgin Avenue, was put into service. Finally, in the afternoon, the detainees were transported to the fairgrounds at Admiral Boulevard and Lewis Avenue.
Through the afternoon and into the next day, National Guard patrols went out into the countryside to pick up Greenwood residents. Some had gotten as far as Claremore and Bartlesville. A few made it all the way to Kansas City. A good many simply kept going and never looked back.
Detainees were given food, water and medical attention that first day. The black hospital had been burned, so a makeshift clinic for injured blacks was set up at the National Guard Armory. Maj. Paul Brown, a Tulsa physician and commanding officer of the sanitary detachment, then commandeered beds in white hospitals for the most serious cases.

Fairgrounds camp houses up to 5,000
Many detainees were released within hours, while others remained at the fairgrounds camp for weeks. Generally, detainees were held until a white person vouched for them, at which point they were given a card to wear on their clothes. Those without cards were subject to arrest.
Those with nowhere else to go were allowed to stay at the fairgrounds camp, regardless of whether or not they had been released. At its height, the camp housed about 5,000.
Those who remained were required to pay for their meals, either out of their own pockets or by working at various tasks, including cleaning up the debris in Greenwood. For this, they were paid standard laborers’ wages. It was by no means an easy existence, but some whites soon complained that blacks were being “spoiled” at the fairgrounds and by the attention given them by the Red Cross and other charitable organizations.
Although the destruction of Greenwood was generally condemned by black and white Tulsans alike, overall blame was quickly assigned to the blacks who had gone to the courthouse to protect Dick Rowland.

True death toll will probably never be known
The true death toll will probably never be known. Thirty-seven death certificates were issued for massacre-related fatalities, but most experts believe the total was higher – perhaps much higher. Hundreds and perhaps thousands were injured.
Property damage in Greenwood was put at $1.5 million to $2 million at a time when a good house could be built for less than $1,000. According to the Red Cross, 1,256 homes were burned and another 215 looted but not destroyed.
37 death certificates
Of the 37 death certificates, 25 were for black males and 12 for white males. Nine black victims, burned beyond recognition, were not identified.
Two other deaths are sometimes included in the confirmed total: a still-born black infant found during the massacre and a white male shot several days later when he drove through a checkpoint on the outskirts of town.
The number of dead and injured has been the subject of controversy from the very start. Early on, the Tulsa World reported 100 dead, then scaled its estimate back to 30, saying some bodies had been counted twice and others thought dead were only injured.

Unsuccessful search
Maj. Charles Daley, the National Guard officer who had been installed in the Tulsa Police Department as a sort of inspector general, contributed to the confusion by saying he expected the toll to reach 175. After inspecting the burned area with another National Guard officer, however, Daley said no additional bodies were found and the number of dead was much lower than previously thought.
There was indeed much confusion. Some people reported dead weren't, and some reported “slightly injured” were in fact dead. A few of the dead were either misidentified or had been living under assumed names. According to the Red Cross, many people and especially whites were reluctant to seek medical attention for even major injuries.
Stories abound of bodies “stacked like cordwood,” loaded on trucks, dumped in the Arkansas River, thrown down mine shafts and burned in the city incinerator. Some, on examination, are more plausible than others; none, at this late date, can be proved or disproved.
On June 3, 1921, just two days after the massacre, the Tulsa World reported that 13 black victims of the massacre were buried in Oaklawn cemetery “in separate graves and in plain caskets,” a description that suggests a suspicion of something otherwise even then.
In 1999 and 2000, a commission authorized by the Oklahoma Legislature and the Oklahoma Geological Survey probed for mass burial sites at several locations in Tulsa, including Newblock Park, Oaklawn Cemetery and the former Booker T. Washington Cemetery.
Their search was unsuccessful.

Conspiracy and cover-up?
A grand jury convened the second week of June said the armed blacks at the courthouse were the direct cause of the riot, but said indirect causes were more to blame. Among the indirect causes cited were agitation for social equality and lax law enforcement. Eighty-eight indictments were issued, mostly for black men, but few seem to have been served. A few people arrested during and after the massacre were convicted of or pleaded guilty to minor crimes such as possession of stolen property.
Immediately after the massacre, a group of white businessmen proposed moving the black neighborhood further to the northeast and converting the Greenwood area to a warehouse district. This effort ultimately failed when the business group could not raise the necessary capital. In September, Tulsa County’s three district judges ruled the city had illegally extended its fire code in an attempt to thwart blacks from rebuilding. Their decision effectively ended the real estate group’s scheme.
The group’s efforts, though, helped feed suspicions of conspiracy and cover-up. Some have suggested the entire incident, including the encounter between Dick Rowland and Sarah Page, had been staged to provide an excuse to lay waste to Greenwood. They point to the actions – or inaction – of authorities during the buildup to the massacre and failure to protect Greenwood property on the morning of June 1.
There were also claims that the blacks who went to the courthouse wanted a fight. According to later testimony and notes found in the papers of Gov. J.B.A. Robertson, hotel owner John Stradford had exhorted the men at the Tulsa Star office with the promise to “send and get the Muskogee crowd” – that is, reinforcements from the nearby city of Muskogee. The African Blood Brotherhood, an arm of the Communist Party based in New York, claimed to have had a chapter in Tulsa organizing armed resistance to racial oppression.
Stradford and Smitherman were arrested after the massacre, posted bail and left Oklahoma forever. Stradford settled in Chicago, where his family became prominent. Smitherman opened a newspaper in Buffalo, N.Y.
In July, a jury found Police Chief John Gustafson guilty of dereliction of duty and removed him from office. He resumed his career as a private investigator.

Ku Klux Klan rally
In September, a large Ku Klux Klan rally was held at Convention Hall. It was the Klan’s first public appearance in Tulsa, although many people believed it had a hand in the massacre.
The original Klan, organized during Reconstruction, had been broken up in the 1870s, but a new organization was formed in Atlanta in 1915. This Klan promoted a broader agenda than its predecessor, based not only on racism and white Angle-Saxon Protestantism but vigilante enforcement of its own moral code.
In April 1922, more than 1,700 Klan members marched through downtown Tulsa while an airplane carrying an electrically lighted cross flew overhead. In that spring’s city elections, Klan candidates swept every office, and did the same when county elections came around in the fall. In August 1923, Gov. J.C. Walton declared martial law in Tulsa County because of Klan activity.

Most insurance claims denied
Most insurance claims stemming from the massacre were denied because policies typically excluded such damage. Scores of lawsuits were filed as a result. One by white property owner William Redfearn alleged the massacre had in fact been a police action. Redfearn produced a number of witnesses who said police actively participated in the destruction of Greenwood.
Refearn’s suit was dismissed, as were all others. Few property owners were ever reimbursed for their losses.
Greenwood families lived in tents and makeshift shacks in their old neighborhood for much of the next year, but eventually the neighborhood did rebuild, reaching its peak during World War II.

Few landmarks associated with massacre remain
Few landmarks associated with the massacre still stand. The most visible is the former Convention Hall, now Brady Theater, at 105 W. Brady St. Most of the area destroyed in the massacre is occupied by campuses of Oklahoma State University and Langston University.
The old Tulsa County Courthouse, where Dick Rowland was held and the shooting began, was demolished in 1960 to make way for a 32-story bank building. The police station, the Hotel Tulsa and Magee’s and Bardon’s Sporting Goods stores are long gone. The armory where National Guardsmen faced down angry whites has for decades been a Veterans of Foreign Wars hall.

Statute of limitations runs out
Mount Zion Baptist Church rebuilt, slowly and painfully, over a period of many years. For a while, it had to meet in the church basement, the only part of the building still usable. A freeway runs where the fairgrounds and Dr. A.C. Jackson’s house once stood and cuts the old Greenwood in two. The formerly bustling business district was reduced to a single block.
In 1997, the Oklahoma Legislature authorized a special commission to investigate the Tulsa Race Massacre. The commission’s report, issued in 2001, recommended reparations for living black survivors of the massacre. The recommendation was never acted upon.
In 2003, a federal lawsuit was filed against the state of Oklahoma, city of Tulsa and the Tulsa Police Department on behalf of about 200 survivors and descendants of blacks living in Greenwood at the time of the massacre. In 2004, the courts dismissed the suit, ruling the statute of limitations had run out.

Original indictment of participants dismissed in 2007
In 2007, Tulsa County District Attorney Tim Harris formally dismissed the original indictment against alleged massacre participants.
For many Tulsans, the massacre remains a sensitive and controversial issue. For some, it is merely something that happened long ago with little relevance today. For others, however, it remains a symbol of oppression and prejudice that speaks to modern race relations.

The opening of the John Hope Franklin Reconciliation Park adjoining ONEOK Field, the city’s new minor league baseball stadium, is expected to bring new life to Greenwood. It is also expected to bring greater attention to a painful but important chapter in Tulsa’s history, and to one of its most distinguished sons.
At the 2008 dedication to the park named in his honor, John Hope Franklin, in one of his last public appearances before his death, said, “Someday we’ll have the joy and pleasure of complete reconciliation. We’re moving in that direction. I hope we get there very soon.”

Tulsa may get an unusual amount of attention in 2021, the 100th anniversary of the city’s deadly race massacre. It’s not exactly cause for celebration, but city leaders would like something constructive to show the rest of the world.
“We can’t rewrite the past, but we can build a brighter and more prosperous future,” state Sen. Kevin Matthews, D-Tulsa, said Friday at the formal announcement of a Tulsa Race Riot Centennial Commission.
U.S. Sen. James Lankford and Mayor G.T. Bynum joined Matthews and other state and local leaders at the press conference announcement at the Greenwood Chamber of Commerce.

June 2018: Tulsa Public Schools teachers learn why race massacre is more accurate term
“What people in the community and historians are trying to raise up is what happened in Tulsa is a deliberate, coordinated, systematic assault on a community that resulted in that community being completely destroyed, and there are estimates that as many as 300 people were killed. That is not a race riot,” said Karlos Hill, the chair of the African American studies department at the University of Oklahoma and a scholar who has studied violence against blacks in America. “This was a massacre.”
“Referring to it as a race riot is a euphemism. It doesn’t really get to what actually happened, which I argue was an attempted expulsion of the black community from Tulsa,” Hill said.
“I think blacks and whites have a different relationship to this history. There’s just no way around. It’s more common for African-Americans to refer to the race riot as a massacre than as a race riot because most of the victims of it were African-Americans. African-Americans were the main target of the violence.”

May 2019: Mayor G.T. Bynum sets 1921 Tulsa race massacre graves investigation into motion
Mayor G.T. Bynum knows well that a thorough re-examination of the sites of possible mass graves from the 1921 Tulsa race massacre won’t be easy and won’t be without controversy.
But as he explained, the city of Tulsa has some work to do to address the “well-earned lack of trust” many African Americans feel toward the city because of its unwillingness to get to the bottom of the issue.
“For me, as someone who loves this city, it was unimaginable that in a city in the United States of America people could potentially be living around a mass grave and not be trying to find out if it truly was there or not,” Bynum said.

September 2019: New book, 'Tulsa 1921,' is product of years of research into Tulsa Race Massacre
For the last 20 years, not a day has gone by that Tulsa World writer Randy Krehbiel has not thought about the events of May 31-June 1, 1921 — what is now known as the Tulsa Race Massacre.
“I don’t want to say it was an obsession,” Krehbiel said. “But even when I wasn’t actively writing or researching something about the massacre, I would be thinking about where I could find this bit of information, some new angle to take, trying to figure who is being honest and who isn’t.”
The result of these two decades of rumination, research and writing has culminated in “Tulsa 1921: Reporting a Massacre,” published by the University of Oklahoma Press.

October 2019: Mass graves search begins
The search for unknown burial sites from Tulsa’s 1921 Race Massacre has been attempted in multiple phases.
The exact locations of the burials, and the manner in which they were done, remains something of a mystery. Speculation has lingered for nearly a century about the number of people killed in the fighting, and whether all of their bodies were accounted for. Many believe they have not been.
Why the Tulsa World uses "race massacre" now instead of "race riot"
"One word (riot or massacre?) can be important. It can start a conversation," wrote Tulsa World managing editor Mike Strain in June 2018.
"In our newsroom, we have begun using the term massacre. We also will use the term riot, but it often will be in the context of explaining that the events of 1921 had commonly been known as the Tulsa race riot.
"We made that decision because both terms are accurate, and they better reflect our entire community’s view of what happened. It’s not my place to say who is right or wrong, but it is my job to consider everyone’s opinions and be part of our conversations here to make the best decisions we can."

Meta oversight board urges changes to VIP moderation system
LONDON (AP) — Facebook’s quasi-independent oversight board says an internal system that exempted high-profile users, including former U.S. President Donald Trump, from some or all of its content moderation rules needs a major overhaul. The report released Tuesday by the Oversight Board said the system “is flawed in key areas which the company must address.” The board opened its review after The Wall Street Journal reported that the system was being abused by many of its elite users, who posted material that would result in penalties for ordinary people, including for harassment and incitement of violence. Meta has agreed to respond to the report within 90 days.

Holmes’ former partner faces sentencing in Theranos case
SAN JOSE, Calif. (AP) — A former Theranos executive learns Wednesday whether he will be punished as severely as his former lover and business partner for peddling the company’s bogus blood-testing technology that duped investors and endangered patients. Ramesh “Sunny” Balwani was convicted in July of fraud and conspiracy. He will be sentenced less than three weeks after Elizabeth Holmes, the company’s founder and CEO, received more than 11 years in prison for her role in a scandal that threw a bright light on Silicon Valley’s dark side. Holmes could have gotten up to 20 years in prison — a penalty that U.S. District Judge Edward Davila could now impose on Balwani. He spent six years as Theranos’ chief operating officer.

Robinhood takes on retirement in search for more growth
NEW YORK (AP) — After blazing onto Wall Street by making trading fun for its customers, Robinhood is now setting its sights on a more staid corner of the industry: saving for retirement. The company on Tuesday is opening up signups for a retirement program, where customers can sock savings into an Individual Retirement Account, something better known as an IRA. It’s the first such effort for Robinhood, which is trying to recapture some of its formerly high-flying growth that fell off as painful downturns made day-trading of stocks and crypto much less fun.

Boeing’s last 747 to roll out of Washington state factory
SEATTLE (AP) — After more than half a century, Boeing is rolling its last 747 out of a Washington state factory. The jumbo jet has been used as a cargo plane, a commercial aircraft capable of carrying nearly 500 passengers, and as the Air Force One presidential aircraft. When it debuted in 1969, it was the largest commercial aircraft in the world and the first with two aisles. The final customer is Atlas Air, which ordered four 747-8 freighters early this year. The last is rolling out of Boeing’s massive factory in Everett, Washington, on Tuesday night.

Stocks fall again on Wall Street, extending recent losses
NEW YORK (AP) — Stocks fell again on Wall Street, extending the market’s recent string of losses. Investors are worried that the Federal Reserve will need to keep applying the brakes to the economy in order to get inflation under control, raising the risk of a sharp recession. The S&P 500 fell 1.4% Tuesday, its fourth straight loss. The tech-heavy Nasdaq gave back even more, 2%, and the Dow Jones Industrial Average lost 1%. Crude oil prices fell. Bond yields fell. The yield on the 10-year Treasury, which helps set mortgage rate, fell to 3.52%.

Russian oil price cap, EU ban aim to limit Kremlin war chest
FRANKFURT, Germany (AP) — Major Western measures to limit Russia’s oil profits over the war in Ukraine have taken effect. They bring uncertainty about how much crude could be lost to the world and whether they will unleash the hoped-for hit to a Russian economy that’s held up better than many expected under sanctions. Starting Monday, the European Union is banning most Russian oil and the Group of Seven democracies has imposed a price cap of $60 per barrel on Russian exports to other countries. The impact may be blunted because Russia has been able reroute much of its European seaborne shipments to China, India and Turkey, although at steep discounts. Plus, the price cap is near what Russian oil already cost.

Facebook parent Meta threatens to remove news from platform
MENO PARK, Calif. (AP) — Facebook parent Meta Platforms says it will be forced to consider removing news content from its platform if Congress passes legislation that could require social media companies to pay news outlets. The Journalism Competition and Preservation Act, if passed, would allow news companies to collectively negotiate with social platforms over the terms on which their material appears on their sites. Meta has taken similar stands in the past. Last year, it briefly blocked news from its platform in Australia after the country passed legislation that would compel tech companies to pay publishers for using their news stories.

The S&P 500 fell 57.58 points, or 1.4%, to 3,941.26. The Dow Jones Industrial Average lost 350.76 points, or 1%, to 33,596.34. The Nasdaq shed 225.05 points, or 2%, to 11,014.89. The Russell 2000 index of smaller companies gave back 27.65 points, or 1.5%, to 1,812.58.

SAN ANTONIO – A San Antonio couple has been displaced from the home following a late-night fire on Sunday night, the San Antonio Department said.
The fire was called in around 11:30 p.m. at a trailer in the 4800 block of Goldfield Drive, not far from Rittiman Road on the city’s Northeast Side.
Firefighters said they arrived to find flames showing from the trailer. They were able to get a quick knock down of the fire.
Fire officials said the couple had been sleeping when they smelled smoke and got out of the home.
The couple said they previously had a fire going earlier in the day in their fireplace and investigators believe the cause of the fire is due to the fireplace.
The San Antonio Fire Department and San Antonio Police Department both answered the call.
A damage estimate was not given. No injuries were reported.

You’ll never know the value of a gadget until you need it
After you’ve arrived at your camping spot and unpacked all the gear, you probably deserve a cold beverage for all your hard work. Before taking a seat in your comfy camping chair, you need to rummage through your backpack for the bottle opener. If you can’t find it, you’d have no way to relax for a minute. Luckily, you remembered to clip a double-sided bottle opener to the bag for easy access. It’s gadgets like these that make your camping trip just that much better, and you’ll never have to say, “I wish there were a gadget for that” ever again.
Shop this article: Wavmill Portable Rechargeable Fan, Kiles Solar Bug Zapper and Chorpeti Headlights for Crocs
The importance of being prepared
There are several things you simply can’t go without when camping. Whether driving to your overnight location or hiking there, you’ll need a tent, some fire-making equipment and a few sealable containers with food. It’s also crucial that you pack a first aid kit, as there are bound to be scrapes, nicks and cuts.
Unless you’re attempting to camp as rustically as possible, you can also afford yourself some home comforts and gadgets that make the experience better. For example, it’s fun to wash off in a river or lake, but a camping shower you hook onto a tree is amazing. Need to see where you’re going at night but have your hands full? Don’t reach for the headlamp, instead clip some nifty lights to your shoes!
Best gadgets that will make your next camping trip even better
Nite Ize Ahhh Dual Bottle Opener
You’ll never struggle to find this double-sided bottle opener, as it quickly clips onto any bag or loops with its built-in carabiner. The durable steel construction is robust enough to pop caps off bottles with minimal fuss, and it can also be used to secure other items to your bag or up a tree.

Nothing ruins a camping trip faster than flying critters pestering everyone. This bug zapper recharges with sunlight during the day and is ready to rid the campsite of bugs at night.

The 4,000mAh battery is also rechargeable through a power bank, and there’s a flashlight on the side.

You’ll need a flashlight to see where you’re going at night, but it’s challenging when you have your hands full with eating utensils, bedding or setting up camp. A headlamp is a good option, but it’s even better to shine a light where you walk with these clip-on headlights for your Crocs shoes.

(The Hill) – Fox News anchor Martha MacCallum on Tuesday said that witnesses testifying before the House select committee investigating the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the U.S. Capitol are laying out a “huge, stunning and clear moment” showing a lack of evidence to support former President Trump’s claims of an unfair election in 2020.
MacCallum said Democrats on the committee are likely to use division among Republicans about whether to believe Trump’s claims about the election as a political tool in the coming midterm and presidential contests.
“It will be extremely useful in coming campaigns, especially the presidential, when you look back at what we have in terms of the Mike Pence part of all of this,” MacCallum said. “So it is a political discussion. It is very compelling and the lack of evidence is the huge, stunning, clear moment here where these people are saying look I supported you, please give me something to work with, and it simply doesn’t materialize.”
MacCallum’s comments came during Fox’s live continuous coverage of the committee’s fourth public hearing on Tuesday.
During Tuesday’s hearing, Arizona House Speaker Rusty Bowers (R) told lawmakers that he repeatedly pressed Rudy Giuliani, Trump’s personal lawyer, to prove claims of election fraud after the 2020 election, and said that Giuliani failed to produce any evidence.
“My recollection, he said, ‘We’ve got lots of theories, we just don’t have the evidence,’” Bowers said.
The theme of Tuesday’s hearing is the pressure campaign that Trump and his top aides put on state and local officials to help them overturn the results of the election.

Mariah Carey is ready to part ways with her sprawling Atlanta mansion after it was burglarized earlier this summer.
Wall Street Journal reports the nine-bedroom, 13-bathroom Georgia estate has been listed for a cool $6.5 million. The 12,600 square feet, colonial style home sits on a four-acre lot and comes with some serious luxury perks. Among them is a recording booth that Mariah installed herself.
Other attractive offerings include a private home theater, gym, gourmet kitchen, wood-paneled library, wet bar, pool, tennis courts, a pink dressing room fit for a diva and more.
So, why is Mariah leaving her cozy abode, which she bought for $5.65 million? Listing agent Shanna Bradley told the outlet the Grammy winner is a New York girl, so she wants to return to her roots. Bradley insists the burglary had no effect on the “Fantasy” singer’s decision to sell.
According to the agent, Mariah bought the home in 2021 because her band is based in Atlanta and she hunkered down in the property during the pandemic.
Bradley says the home is likely to sell fast because the Atlanta area is a real estate hotspot “with people moving here from all over.” The market is red hot with individuals with ties to the entertainment and music industries.
As previously reported, Mariah’s mansion was robbed while she vacationed in New York and Italy. Suspects Jeremy Caldwell, Terryion Anderson and Jalen Huff — all 24 years old — were located and taken into custody in Miami last month.
The Sandy Springs Police Department believe the suspects were operating a crime ring directed at wealthy people and celebrities, as a number of celebrities were also allegedly targeted by these men.
It hasn’t been made clear what was taken, if anything, from Mariah’s multimillion-dollar home.

KNOXVILLE, Tenn. (WATE) — A Knox County Sheriff’s Office deputy is recovering after she was accidentally shot by her partner while responding to a call, a department spokesperson said Wednesday.
Deputies responded to a call in Powell around 11 p.m. Monday. According to a KCSO spokesperson, the two deputies were outside the residence when an aggressive dog came around the trailer and attacked deputy Lydia Driver.
Deputy Jordan Hurst fired his service weapon in an attempt to subdue the dog, inadvertently hitting Driver in the leg. She was taken to a hospital where she underwent emergency surgery.
Hurst is on administrative leave with pay, per department procedure.
Driver has worked with the Knox County Sheriff’s Office since 2015. She graduated from the Knox County Sheriff’s Office Regional Training Academy on May 27.
“Law Enforcement is a dangerous profession; it is unpredictable. Officers deal with people and situations the average person will never experience in their lifetime,” Knox County Sheriff Tom Spangler said in a statement. “This incident is unfortunate, but we will get through it together. We are blessed to serve a community who loves and appreciates our men and women; for that, I’m grateful.”

WASHINGTON (AP) — Former President Donald Trump faced rebuke Sunday from officials in both parties after calling for the “termination” of parts of the Constitution over his lie that the 2020 election was stolen.
Trump, who announced last month that he is running again for president, made the claim over the weekend on his Truth Social media platform.
“A Massive Fraud of this type and magnitude allows for the termination of all rules, regulations, and articles, even those found in the Constitution,” he wrote. “Our great ‘Founders’ did not want, and would not condone, False & Fraudulent Elections!”
Incoming House Democratic leader Hakeem Jeffries on Sunday described Trump's statement as strange and extreme and said Republicans will have to make a choice whether to continue embracing Trump's anti-democratic views.
“Republicans are going to have to work out their issues with the former president and decide whether they’re going to break from him and return to some semblance of reasonableness or continue to lean in to the extremism, not just of Trump, but Trumpism,” Jeffries said.
Trump, who is the first to be impeached twice and whose term ended with his supporters violently storming the Capitol in a deadly bid to halt the peaceful transition of power on Jan. 6, 2021, faces a escalating criminal investigations, including several that could lead to indictments. They include the probe into classified documents seized by the FBI from Mar-a-Lago, and ongoing state and federal inquiries related to efforts to overturn the results of the 2020 presidential election.
Asked about Trump's comments Sunday, Rep. Mike Turner of Ohio, the top Republican on the House Intelligence Committee, said he “vehemently" disagrees and “absolutely” condemns the remarks, saying they should be a factor as Republicans decide who should lead their party in 2024.
“There is a political process that has to go forward before anybody is a frontrunner or anybody is even the candidate for the party,” he said. “I believe that people certainly are going to take into consideration a statement like this as they evaluate a candidate.”
Rep.-elect Mike Lawler, R-New York, also objected to the remarks, saying it was time to stop focusing on the “grievances of prior elections.”
"The Constitution is set for a reason, to protect the rights of every American," Lawler said. "I think the former president would be well-advised to focus on the future, if he is going to run for president again.”
Trump’s comments came after Twitter's new owner, Elon Musk, said he would reveal how Twitter engaged in "free speech suppression” leading up to the 2020 election. But files released Friday, which focused on the tech company's confused response to a story about Biden's son Hunter, do not show Democrats trying to limit the story.
The White House on Saturday assailed Trump, saying: “You cannot only love America when you win.”
“The American Constitution is a sacrosanct document that for over 200 years has guaranteed that freedom and the rule of law prevail in our great country," spokesman Andrew Bates said in a statement. “Attacking the Constitution and all it stands for is anathema to the soul of our nation."
Jeffries appeared on ABC's “This Week,” Turner spoke on CBS' “Face the Nation” and Lawler was on CNN's “State of the Union.”

Police and federal agents arrested four men who allegedly operated illegal game rooms, online gambling applications and sold methamphetamine and cocaine out of a restaurant and snack shops on Oahu and Maui.
Maliu Tauheluhelu, who lived on Oahu, is the alleged leader of the group, coordinating cocaine and methamphetamine distribution, illegal game rooms and online betting applications on Maui and Oahu. His alleged co-conspirators are Maafu Pani, Touanga Niu and Desmond Morris.
Tauheluhelu was arrested Friday on Oahu. Pani and Niu were arrested on Maui. Morris, a Maui resident, remains at large.
The group allegedly cycled through burner mobile phones bought under other people’s names to communicate, according to federal court documents. Tauheluhelu operated illegal game rooms at 980 Queen Street in Honolulu, 977 Queen Street and in a secret “VIP” lounge above his “Staxx Sports Bar and Grill” restaurant in Waianae, according to a motion to detain Tauheluhelu and Pani.
The group managed a series of gambling applications that allowed users to play digital games from anywhere using credits that could be redeemed for cash.
Pani allegedly sold drugs and ran an illegal gambling business out of his Snaxx shops on Maui. Federal agents and Maui police seized guns, ghost guns, drugs, digital gambling machines, gambling ledgers and more than $60,000 in cash during the execution of 14 search warrants on Friday.
The group was charged in a 14-count indictment secured May 19. Their arrest was the result of a joint investigation by the Maui Police Department and the Federal Bureau of Investigation that utilized wire taps, electronic surveillance and confidential informants to make controlled buys of methamphetamine and infiltrate the game rooms, according to federal court documents.
All of them are charged with drug trafficking conspiracy; Pani and Niu with possession of methamphetamine and cocaine with intent to distribute; Morris with possession of methamphetamine with intent to distribute and distribution of methamphetamine; Pani with four counts of distribution of methamphetamine, three counts of distribution of methamphetamine and firearm offense for guns in furtherance of a drug trafficking crime; Tauheluhelu, Pani and Niu for conspiracy to operate an illegal gambling business and money laundering.
Tauheluhelu oversaw the illegal gambling businesses on Oahu and Maui, according to the indictment.
Pani allegedly managed the Maui gambling business. Niu allegedly helped deposit credits in gambling accounts and move money from Maui to Oahu.
The group allegedly used flights that bypassed Transportation Security Administration screening sites to move money and drugs between the islands.

Fire destroys building on south Broadway
WICHITA, Kan. (KWCH) - Fire destroyed a building in south Wichita Tuesday morning. The Wichita Fire Department said around 3:19 a.m., crews were dispatched to the fire in the 1200 block of S. Broadway. Crews from Fieldhouse 2 are located roughly 400 feet south of the building and reported seeing heavy fire.
Crews went defensive on the fire, meaning they fought it from outside of the building due to its heavy fire condition and the instability of the structure. The building also collapsed during the firefight.
Crews on the scene were able to extinguish the fire within half an hour. Searches of the structure were delayed until daylight hours because the building was deemed unstable.
The fire department said the building was the site of a fire in April and is known to have been inhabited by the homeless. No one was hurt, and the cause of the fire will be under investigation as of this time.

Barrett Joins Wilson Sonsini's Colorado Office as a Partner, Adding Intellectual Property and In-House Life Sciences Experience to the Firm's Boulder Team
PALO ALTO, Calif., July 26, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Wilson Sonsini Goodrich & Rosati, the premier provider of legal services to technology, life sciences, and growth enterprises worldwide, announced today that William (Bill) Barrett has joined the firm's patents and innovations department as a partner in the Boulder, Colorado, office. Barrett built the legal function for three biotechnology companies—Nobex, GRAIL, and Illumina—and founded IP boutique TechNomos. His addition bolsters Wilson Sonsini's IP and life sciences experience in the firm's newest office.
Barrett is the second lateral partner to join Wilson Sonsini's Boulder office in the past six weeks. In mid-June, the firm announced that Brent Fassett joined the office as a partner in the corporate department.
For more than two decades, Barrett has focused on technology and IP law. He has worked with innovative companies and inventors and led experienced IP and legal teams. In 2019, Barrett founded TechNomos, a boutique technology and innovation protection law firm based in Colorado. Before that, he worked at GRAIL, a biotechnology company based in Silicon Valley. GRAIL was a spin-off of Illumina in San Diego, where Barrett led a 10-member IP team that focused on developing and executing the company's global IP strategy, including patents, trademarks, and copyrights.
While at GRAIL, Barrett built and managed the IP and legal teams; drafted and negotiated clinical research agreements, IP licenses, and collaborations; handled a variety of regulatory issues; and served as the company's data privacy officer. He led legal and IP diligence for GRAIL's $1.2 billion Series B financing round, as well as its 2017 merger with Hong Kong-based Cirina.
Prior to joining Illumina in 2013, Barrett joined a Duke University start-up called Advanced Liquid Logic, where he helped to build a portfolio of more than 350 patents and applications in digital microfluidics. After the company was acquired by Illumina, he was asked to lead Illumina's IP team.
"As the life sciences sector continues to flourish in Colorado, we anticipate there will be ongoing opportunities to assist clients in the area that need sophisticated IP advice in addition to our corporate and regulatory counsel," said Doug Clark, managing partner at Wilson Sonsini. "With his extensive in-house life sciences and private IP practice experience, Bill will be a fantastic resource for our entrepreneur, company, and investor clients in Colorado and elsewhere. He's developed a strong base of life sciences contacts in the Bay Area, Research Triangle Park, and Canada. We're pleased to welcome Bill to the firm."
On February 1, 2022, Wilson Sonsini announced plans to open an office in Boulder, from which it would support the region's thriving life sciences businesses and other growth enterprises. The firm represents a range of start-up and established life sciences clients in Colorado that fall into several sectors, including drug discovery; biotech, genomics, and proteomics; screening and diagnostics; medical devices and supplies; pharmaceuticals; health services; and agtech and foodtech.
"Since I've been in the life sciences field for some time, I've had the chance to collaborate with so many exceptional attorneys at Wilson Sonsini, including Vern Norviel, Maya Skubatch, and other members of the firm's patents and innovations team," said Barrett. "I'm excited about the opportunity to continue working with innovative life sciences clients and collaborating with the team in Boulder to help the firm expand its client base in Colorado and other life sciences markets."
Barrett earned his J.D. from Wake Forest University School of Law in 1997, and a B.S. in biology from the University of North Carolina in 1993. He also earned a Professional Certificate in genetics and genomics from Stanford University in 2018. He is admitted to practice in Colorado and North Carolina, and before the United States Patent and Trademark Office.
From 1986 to 1991, Barrett served in the United States Air Force in Japan, England, and Saudi Arabia, where he specialized in information technology. He was honored with the John Levitow Award for outstanding leadership, as well as an Air Force Achievement Medal for outstanding achievement and meritorious service.
Barrett is the lead co-author of the book, iProperty: Profiting from Ideas in an Age of Global Innovation (Wiley & Sons, 2008).

CINCINNATI (AP) — A man who spent a quarter-century on death row in the robbery and murder of a New Jersey woman at an Ohio hotel nearly three decades ago has been freed on bond while awaiting a new trial.
Elwood Jones of Cincinnati was convicted of aggravated murder, robbery and burglary in the 1994 beating death of Rhoda Nathan, 67, of Toms River, New Jersey, in Blue Ash, a Cincinnati suburb.
Police said Nathan, a grandmother in town over the Labor Day weekend to attend the bar mitzvah of her best friend’s grandson, was killed after she surprised a would-be robber in her room. Jones was a hotel employee and was on the job that day, police said.
The death sentence imposed on Jones was upheld by the Ohio Supreme Court. But last month, a Hamilton County judge granted him a new trial after concluding that prosecutors had not turned over evidence relevant to the case to his attorneys. County prosecutors have vowed to appeal the decision.
Officials said Jones, released from Hamilton County jail Saturday on $50,000 unsecured bond, will be under electronic monitoring and is barred from leaving the county.
“This is justice for the first time in three decades,” defense attorney David Hine said. Program manager Bekky Baker of the Intercommunity Justice and Peace Center, which supported a new trial, said Jones had been behind bars “for like over 9,000 days for something he didn’t do.”
Prosecutors said in a statement that 10 courts had reviewed and upheld the conviction, and Jones' release was ordered despite a state constitutional prohibition on bail for those charged with capital offenses.
"The family of Rhoda Nathan and the people of Hamilton County deserve better than this,” the statement said.
Prosecutors also argued that Jones was a flight risk, but defense attorney Jay Clark said that wasn't the case given the stakes.
“When you’ve protested your innocence for 27 years and now you have a chance to establish it? You’re not going to take off,” he said.

Poll Finds Decreased Support for President Biden Compared to 2020 Election
WASHINGTON, July 15, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- EWTN News and RealClear Opinion Research have partnered to conduct a deep-dive poll on Catholic voters' attitudes and trends ahead of the 2022 midterm elections.
In the poll, Catholics weigh in about their views regarding President Biden, abortion, and gender ideology in the classroom. Respondents expressed deep concerns over attacks on churches and Catholic artwork and monuments and supported increasing the border security of the United States.
The new poll was conducted before the Supreme Court ruled in Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health Organization, a landmark case which overturned Roe v. Wade. Though it found a slim majority of likely Catholic voters opposed overturning Roe v. Wade, an overwhelming majority of likely Catholic voters supported at least limiting abortion to the first trimester. Likely Catholic voters also opposed forcing healthcare workers to perform procedures to which they were morally opposed, including abortion and sex-change operations.
A clear majority of likely Catholic voters believe supporting transgender ideology conflicts with the Catholic faith. Similar majorities opposed allowing biological boys to compete on biological girls' sports teams and allowing K-12 school administrators to hide a student's gender identity or a new name from that student's parents.
President Biden
- 45% of likely Catholic voters have a favorable view of President Biden while 53% have an unfavorable view.
o 43% of Mass-attending (weekly+) Catholics have a favorable view of President Biden and 55% have an unfavorable view.
- 47% of likely Catholic voters approve of President Biden's job performance while 53% disapprove.
o 45% of Mass-attending (weekly+) Catholics approve of Biden's job performance while 55% disapprove.
Abortion
- 82% of likely Catholic voters support restrictions on abortion
o 24% support legalizing first-trimester abortions.
o 8% support legalizing second-trimester abortions.
o 32% support abortion in cases of rape, incest, or to save the life of the mother.
o 9% support abortion only to save the life of the mother.
o 9% support a total ban on abortion.
- 58% of likely Catholic voters oppose forcing healthcare workers to perform procedures to which they are morally opposed.
Education
- 90% of likely Catholic voters believe parents should have more information about their child's school curriculum.
- 65% of likely Catholic voters believe parents should play a role in helping to determine what is taught in schools.
- 68% of likely Catholic voters oppose K-12 school administrators hiding a student's gender identity or a new name from that student's parents.
- 67% of likely Catholic voters oppose allowing biological boys to compete against biological girls on school sports teams.
- 67% of likely Catholic voters oppose allowing biological boys to use girls' bathrooms, locker rooms, and showers if they identify as female.
- 33% of likely Catholic voters have considered education alternatives for their children due to their school's emphasis on gender identity.
Policy
- 74% of likely Catholic voters were more likely to vote for a candidate who supports increasing border security.
- 53% of likely Catholic voters were less likely to vote for a candidate who supports taxpayer funded abortions in the United States.
- 60% of likely Catholic voters were less likely to vote for a candidate who supports legal abortion at any stage of pregnancy.
- 82% of likely Catholic voters were more likely to vote for a candidate who supports religious freedom of people of faith.
- 84% of likely Catholic voters are concerned about attacks on Catholic churches across the country.
- 81% of likely Catholic voters are concerned about attack on pro-life clinics across the country.
- 71% of likely Catholic voters are concerned about protests outside the homes of Supreme Court justices.
Catholic Faith:
- 50% of likely Catholic voters believe the Eucharist is the transformed body and blood of Christ rather than a symbol.
o 73% of Mass-attending (weekly+) Catholics believe the same.
- 65% of likely Catholic voters believe Purgatory is real.
- 56% of likely Catholic voters believe that supporting transgender ideology conflicts with the Catholic faith.
- 63% of likely Catholic voters believe that gender is created by God, while 25% of likely Catholic voters believe individuals can determine their own gender.
"This new EWTN News/RealClear Opinion Research poll finds that Catholics – like the majority of Americans – are dissatisfied with the direction of the country, have largely negative views about most of the institutions of government save for the Supreme Court, and are deeply concerned about attacks and vandalism against churches and pro-life clinics," Matthew Bunson, Executive Editor of EWTN News stated.
"As we head toward the mid-term election, President Biden faces an uphill struggle to win back the Catholic support he received in the 2020 election cycle, said Bunson. Right now, the atmosphere seems to favor the Republicans, but we have four months ahead and Catholics will once again play a crucial role in deciding who will end up in control of Congress."
Andrew Walworth, Chief Content officer at Real Clear Politics, added "Catholic voters have soured on President Biden, and 57 percent do not have much, or any confidence that the Biden administration can reduce inflation in the next year. That could be bad news for Democrats in the midterms."
"At the same time Catholic voters in our poll are split nearly evenly in their preference for Congress (44% Republican, 43% Democrat), with 13 percent saying they haven't made up their minds. If "all politics is local," as Tip O'Neill used to say, that could soften the blow for Democrats in November."
From June 13 to June 23, 2022, RealClear Opinion Research conducted a poll of Catholics who are registered and say they are likely to vote in the midterm elections in the United States. Respondents were contacted online, and the survey was offered in both English and Spanish. The sample size of likely voters was N=1,757 with a credibility interval of +/-2.58% at a 95% confidence level.

CROMWELL, Conn. (AP) — It has been an exhausting couple of weeks for the top players on the PGA Tour as they’ve dealt with the usual rigors of a U.S. Open and the unusual stress of losing some big names to the upstart LIV Golf series.
But six of the world’s top 15 ranked players, including No. 1 Scottie Scheffler and No. 2 Rory McIlroy still managed to make the short trip from Brookline, Massachusetts, to Connecticut to play in the Travelers Championship.
McIlroy, who won the Canadian Open two weeks ago and then tied for fifth in the U.S. Open, is playing for the fourth straight week. He’s hoping to keep up the momentum that has seen him rise to his highest ranking since July, 2020, but said he’s feeling both physical and mental fatigue.
“Four weeks in a row is pretty rare for me these days,” the four-time major winner said. “I haven’t played four in a row in a while and you start to remember why.”
Scheffler is playing for a third consecutive week and fourth in the last five. The Masters champion has nine top-10 finishes in 19 starts, including major runner-up showings at Brookline and in May at Colonial.
He acknowledged it would have been an easy time to take a break.
“I like to be a man of my word, and so this would be another event where playing the week after a major is not necessarily easy, especially when you’re in contention,” he said. “ But for me, I’ve, I committed to this event, and I want to be here.”
McIlroy said its important to many top PGA Tour pros to play events like the Travelers, if for nothing else than to support the community of fans those tournaments have built.
“You look at somewhere like Dublin, Ohio,” he said. “ I mean, (Jack Nicklaus) basically built a town around a golf tournament. So when you think about PGA Tour events and what they can do for communities this is a good example, Memorial’s a good example, and obviously a number of others.”
The potential for a showdown between the game’s top ranked players also is important for the tournament, which has had a couple of big names drop out.
Those include Justin Thomas, who withdrew Wednesday to rest an ailing back, and Brooks Koepka, who earlier this week became the latest player to defect to LIV Golf. He plans to play next week in Portland, Oregon, the first LIV event in the United States.
But the allure of the PGA Tour still means something to golfers such as 11-year veteran Harris English, who won last year’s tournament in Connecticut by besting Kramer Hickok in an eigh-hole playoff and will defend that title this week.
“Still have to pinch myself every day that I’m playing on the PGA against the best players in the world,” he said. So I enjoy it out here and like I said, with winning that tournament last year, looking at the names on that trophy, that means more to me than anything. Having my name on a trophy with Lee Trevino, Arnold Palmer, you can go down a list of everybody that’s won this tournament. You can’t take that away from me now, my name’s going to be on that trophy for years and years and it’s something I’ll never forget.”

MEMPHIS, Tenn. (WREG) — The Museum of Science & History in Memphis, Tennessee, is apologizing to guests after canceling a planned drag show Friday evening “due to the presence of armed protesters.”
The MoSH, known to many in Memphis as the Pink Palace Museum, was set to host the Memphis Proud drag show and dance party Friday. The museum has several exhibits focused on LGBTQ history this month, including an exhibit on the historic Stonewall Inn police raid and subsequent protests. The Friday drag event was billed on flyers as family-friendly.
A protest against the event was organized in the museum parking lot. Police were on scene Friday evening, and the museum cancelled all programming out of an abundance of caution.
MoSH released a statement, reading in part:
“The safety of our guests and staff members is our primary concern. Out of an abundance of caution and to ensure the safety of all present, the Museum of Science & History made the decision to cancel all programming Friday evening due to the presence of armed protesters. Closing early involved the cancellation of the two events scheduled for the evening, a laser show in our Planetarium and the Memphis Proud drag show and dance party. We want to apologize to our guests and the Memphis community for the disruption.”
Museum of Science and History, Memphis
Nationally, the subject of drag performances for families and children have come under fire, with some deeming them inappropriate for younger audiences. Earlier this summer, NBC News reported the far-right honing in on drag events, in particular drag story hours at libraries.
According to NBC News, mentions of “Drag Queen Story Hour” rose 777% in just one month.
Drag Queen Story Hour is a brand of events that have been held since 2015, with the organization saying it aims to help kids “see people who defy rigid gender restrictions and imagine a world where everyone can be their authentic selves.”

Man accused of trying to stab flight attendant, open door of Boston-bound plane
United Airlines flight from Los Angeles to Boston
United Airlines flight from Los Angeles to Boston
A Massachusetts man is facing charges after he allegedly tried to open an emergency exit door while aboard a United Airlines flight from Los Angeles to Boston Sunday and then allegedly attempted to stab a flight attendant in the neck, according to the U.S. Attorney’s office.
Francisco Severo Torres, 33, was charged with one count of interference and attempted interference with flight crew members and attendants using a dangerous weapon.
According to court documents, about 45 minutes before United flight 2609 landed in Boston, the flight crew received an alarm in the cockpit that a starboard side door located between the first class and coach sections of the aircraft was disarmed.
A flight attendant found that the Boeing 757's door's locking handle had been moved out of the fully locked position – approximately a quarter of the way towards the unlocked position – and that the emergency slide arming lever had been moved to the "disarmed" position, according to documents.
The flight attendant reported this to the captain and flight crew after securing the door and emergency slide.
Another flight attendant reported that he saw Torres near the door and believed Torres had tampered with the door. When confronted about the door, Torres asked if any cameras showed him tampering with the door. The flight attendant then notified the captain that they believed Torres posed a threat to the aircraft and that the captain needed to land the aircraft as soon as possible, according to court documents.
Shortly thereafter, investigators said Torres got out of his seat and approached two flight attendants, one of which reported seeing Torres mouth something they could not hear. Torres then allegedly thrust one of the flight attendants in a stabbing motion with a broken metal spoon, hitting the flight attendant on the neck area three times, according to court documents.
Torres was tackled by other passengers, and he was restrained with the assistance of the flight crew.
Other passengers said Torres asked a fellow passenger where on the safety card it showed where the door handle was located during the flight attendant’s safety briefing prior to takeoff and that Torres was seen pacing in a galley before attacking the flight attendant, according to court documents.
Torres was arrested Sunday night at Logan. He made an initial appearance Monday in U.S. District Court and was detained pending a hearing on Thursday.
The charge of interference and attempted interference with flight crew members and attendants using a dangerous weapon provides for a sentence of up to life in prison, up to five years of supervised release and a fine of up to $250,000.

Intelligent functionality removes supply team burdens while ensuring drug availability and reducing waste
NOTTINGHAM, England and MORRISVILLE, N.C., Nov. 7, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Calyx, the eClinical and Regulatory solutions and services provider relied on for solving complex data challenges in clinical research, today announced an enhancement to its interactive response technology (IRT) system. By removing the supply monitoring burden from clinical trial teams, Calyx IRT's automated supply strategy management reduces the cost of drug waste while ensuring study drug is available at investigative sites on time, every time.
Traditional IRT solutions require trial teams to constantly monitor patient recruitment levels and the unpredictable supply needs that arise during clinical trials, including randomization and damaged stock replacement. When trial teams don't take the burdensome, manual steps to address changing site needs, high-enrolling sites risk stock-outs and failed patient visits, and low-enrolling sites end up with more supplies than needed, resulting in unnecessary drug waste.
"The act of consistently balancing appropriate site-level inventory without incurring excessive drug waste is difficult and time-consuming for most trial supply teams," said Juan Munoz Pujol, Vice President of IRT at Calyx. "In addition to having confidence that Calyx IRT will get the right drug to the right patient at the right time, trial supply teams can now leverage automated supply strategy management to remove the burden of monitoring site stock against a site's IRT settings and keep drug waste at a minimum. We are already seeing significant savings on clinical development budgets, especially in oncology trials and in other therapeutic areas where the expense of drug production is very high."
Calyx's automated supply strategy management is beneficial in numerous trial design scenarios and is particularly useful at reducing the burden on the clinical supply manager when a trial requires a large number of sites in order to meet patient enrolment goals.
Click here for more information on how Calyx IRT automated supply strategy management and other advanced functionalities drive clinical trial success.
Through innovative eClinical and Regulatory solutions and services, Calyx turns the uncertain into the reliable, helping bring new medical treatments to market reliably. With deep expertise in clinical development and 30 years supporting trial sponsors and clinical research organizations, Calyx harnesses its intelligence and experience to solve complex problems, deliver fast insights, and get new drugs to market every day.

TUPELO – City officials are looking to serve up a major expansion to Lee Acres Park, including a dozen new courts for what officials say is one of the fastest-growing sports in the area.
The $1.2 million proposed project would see a fenced, lighted 12-court pickleball area, restroom upgrades and a parking lot.
“Pickleball is booming here in Tupelo,” Parks and Recreation Director Alex Farned told City Council members during a Monday work session. “They are still looking to find places to play, and something like this would be ideal.”
Pickleball is a sport similar to tennis but with a smaller paddle rather than a racket and uses a perforated, hollow ball. The court is much smaller than a tennis court.
According to Martin Herman, ambassador for USA Pickleball, the sport has significant buy-in around Tupelo.
“There are five courts in Mill Village," he said. "We fill them up almost every night."
Herman noted that safety was a concern for the local pickleball players, which Farned said was the reason for a lighted, fenced area. He also noted each court would be individually fenced to protect from stray balls crossing courts.
Ward 3 Councilman Travis Beard, in whose ward the park resides, said proponents of the game often talk to him about the importance of expanding pickleball.
The city broke the project down into two phases. The first phase includes the above upgrades, while the second phase also encompasses renovations and upgrades to the Lee Acre Center, among other quality-of-life renovations throughout the park.
Conventions and Visitors Bureau Director Neal McCoy said CVB’s board was willing to foot the bill for the first phase of the project and was planning to vote on allocating $1.3 million from its budget at its next meeting. The city, McCoy said, would be expected to fund the second phase of the project through the capital fund.
“Our focus is getting the courts out to meet the demand,” McCoy said. “We’re trying to get non-traditional sports as well. We need things to help draw visitors in 52 weeks out of the year.”
Ward 6 Councilwoman Janet Gaston said the city should look into including shade and rain cover in the future, which McCoy said was not an option in the current budget.
Most of the council members present vocalized support for the project, including Ward 4 Councilwoman Nettie Davis, whose ward borders the park.
“That particular park needs to be upgraded, so I think that is really going to highlight things,” she said.
Chief Operations Officer Don Lewis said the project would take about 18 months to complete once started. The CVB is expected to take up the project at its November meeting, after which the city must approve a budget amendment for the project to start.

BATH, N.Y. (WETM) — Crews from The Bath Volunteer Fire Department came upon an interesting sight Sunday morning as a truck carrying cases of human blood turned over on Interstate 86.
According to the Bath Volunteer Fire Department, crews responded to the scene of the accident around 3 a.m., between exits 37 and 38 on the highway.
They say the truck was turned over on the median side of the highway, laying atop the guard rail.
Crews found out that the box truck was carrying 17 to 18 cases of blood from the American Red Cross.
It’s unknown at this time if any of the blood was damaged in the accident.
The fire department says that the driver of the vehicle was out of the truck when crews arrived and that they refused medical treatment.
A heavy wrecker was called to the scene to upright the truck and tow it from the scene.
Fire crews cleared the area shortly after 4 a.m.

Japan aborts launch of 1st H3 rocket carrying defense censor
TOKYO (AP) — Japan’s space agency aborted the launch of the first of its new flagship series H3 rockets on Friday, which was carrying an observation satellite also fitted with an experimental infrared sensor that could detect missile launches.
The countdown had started. The Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency livestream and TV footage showed white smoke billowing from its main engine. But a pair of auxiliary rockets didn’t subsequently ignite, according to an announcement at the launch site.
Further details, including the reason for the suspension, were not immediately available. JAXA was expected to provide an explanation later.
Friday’s launch problem at the Tanegashima Space Center in southern Japan is a setback for Japan’s space program, which suffered an earlier failed launch in October of an Epsilon-series rocket.
Friday’s launch was put off from earlier in the week due to weather after more than a two-year postponement from 2020 because of an engine development delay.
The rocket — Japan’s first new series in more than 22 years — carries an Advanced Land Observation Satellite primarily tasked with earth observation and data collection for disaster response and map-making. The H3 also carried an infrared sensor developed by the Defense Ministry that can monitor military activity including missile launches.
The 200-billion-yen ($1.5-billion) H3 rocket was jointly developed by JAXA and Mitsubishi Heavy Industries as a successor to the H-2A rocket, which is due to retire after its milestone 50th launch expected within the coming years to end its 20-year service.
H3, which is about 60 meters (196 feet) long, can accommodate more satellites and other payloads than the earlier 53-meter (174-foot) -long H-2A model, with its launch cost slashed by half at about 50 million yen ($371,000) by simplifying the design, manufacturing and operation in a bid to be lure more customers for its space launch service.
Space launch business has been increasingly competitive as the industry has been led by SpaceX and Arianespace.
H3 rocket’s main engine was newly developed with fewer parts by altering the combustion method while replacing the majority of rocket components with existing auto parts.

Levito eyes first U.S. title, leads after short program
By SONJA CHEN
Associated Press
SAN JOSE, Calif. (AP) — Teenager Isabeau Levito scored 73.78 to take the lead after the women’s short program on Thursday night, closing out the first day of the U.S. Figure Skating Championships.
Levito, the reigning junior world champion who took third place in her senior nationals debut last year, entered as the favorite to win her first U.S. title after an impressive international senior debut in which she earned silver at both Grand Prix assignments and the Grand Prix Final last month.
The 15-year-old holds a razor-thin lead over two-time national champion Bradie Tennell, who put down a clean skate after missing the entire 2021-22 season with foot and ankle injuries. Though Tennell struggled with consistency in her Grand Prix assignments last fall, she recorded a season-best score of 73.76 in her return to San Jose, where she won her first title in 2018.
Starr Andrews is fewer than five points out of the lead. Five years after she wowed the SAP Center crowd with a free skate set to her cover of Whitney Houston’s “One Moment in Time” in her senior nationals debut, the 21-year-old is in third place by a slim margin after the short program, edging Amber Glenn by a hundredth of a point.
Rounding out the top four was Amber Glenn, who scored 68.96. The 2021 U.S. silver medalist — who withdrew from nationals following a positive COVID-19 test in 2022 — delivered a captivating performance, but two-footed the landing on her final jumping pass, a triple loop, leaving points on the table.
It will be a quick turnaround to crown a national champion, as the women’s event concludes with the free skate on Friday night. Earlier in the day, the men’s event kicks off with the short program.

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi unexpectedly drew the ire of Golden State Warriors fans on Thursday for a photo posted to Twitter immediately after tipoff of Game 1 of the NBA Finals.
The photo in question, posted to the @teampelosi account, was of the speaker donning a Warriors hoodie and a yellow leather military jacket along with the caption, "Let's go, Warriors! Champions on and off the court. #Dubnation." An SFGATE investigation turned up a startling find: the jacket in question was actually the exact one Pelosi wore to her weekly news conference on June 13, 2019, the same day the Dubs lost Game 6 of the NBA Finals to the Toronto Raptors.
In a playoffs filled with bad omens, Dubs fans pointed to the Pelosi post as a death knell for Golden State, which dropped Game 1 120-108 in San Francisco despite taking a 12-point lead into the fourth quarter.
For many, the Twitter post conjured memories of Texas Sen. Ted Cruz posting a photo of himself courtside in a Rockets t-shirt just before tipoff of Game 7 of the 2018 Western Conference Finals between the Dubs and Rockets in Houston, an eventual 101-92 Dubs win.
"You jinxed it. Stop," pleaded one fan. "Pelosi Curse," added another. "Pelosi is the new Drake," joked another, referencing the Toronto rapper who earned a reputation for being something of a bad luck charm, with his presence leading to losses for everyone from the Alabama Crimson Tide and Conor McGregor, to the Philadelphia 76ers and Kentucky Wildcats.
Pelosi, the first and only woman in U.S. history to serve as speaker of the House, moved to San Francisco in 1969 and has represented congressional districts within San Francisco since 1987. She appears to have been a staunch supporter of the Golden State Warriors on social media since 2015, the year the Warriors won their first title in 40 years. Pelosi appeared in the Dubs' victory parade that year, was there for Golden State's White House visit in February of 2016, and in 2018 famously invited Steph Curry and co. to the U.S. Capitol after then-President Trump said the NBA champs would not be welcomed to the White House.
The Warriors will get a chance to attempt to reverse the "curse" Sunday when they host Boston in Game 2, Sunday at 5 p.m.

BRUSSELS (AP) — NATO Secretary-General Jens Stoltenberg said Wednesday he has called a meeting of senior officials from Turkey, Sweden and Finland for July 6 to try to overcome Turkish objections to Sweden joining the military alliance.
The meeting is a last-ditch effort by Stoltenberg to deal with one of the final obstacles to Sweden’s membership before a major summit the following week. Sweden’s membership would be a highly symbolic moment and another indication of how Russia’s war in Ukraine is driving countries to join the Western alliance.
However, Hungary also has not yet ratified Sweden’s bid, and Hungarian lawmakers said a long-delayed parliamentary vote on ratifying Sweden’s NATO membership would not would not happen until the autumn legislative session. NATO requires the unanimous approval of all members to expand, so that almost certainly means the country will not get the green light in time for the July 11-12 summit in the Lithuanian capital, Vilnius.
“The time is now to welcome Sweden as a full member of NATO,” Stoltenberg told reporters. Foreign ministers, intelligence chiefs and security advisers from Turkey, Sweden and Finland will be taking part in the talks in Brussels.
Sweden applied to join NATO last year after Russia invaded Ukraine amid widespread concern in Europe that President Vladimir Putin might broaden the war. It applied alongside Finland and they had hoped to join together, but Turkish objections to Sweden’s membership meant that Finland eventually joined on its own in April.
Stockholm has changed its anti-terror laws and lifted an arms embargo on Turkey to satisfy Ankara’s demands. But Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan said in a statement posted on his social media account that he spoke with German Chancellor Olaf Scholz earlier Wednesday by phone and again raised his concerns over Sweden’s NATO membership.
“President Erdogan stated that while taking steps in the right direction, especially the change in Sweden’s anti-terror legislation, supporters of the PKK/PYD/YPG in Sweden continue to freely organize demonstrations praising terrorism, recruiting people and providing financial resources to terrorist organizations, and that this situation is unacceptable for Turkey.”
The Kurdistan Workers’ Party, or PKK, has waged a 38-year insurgency against Turkey that has left tens of thousands dead. It is designated a terrorist organization by the U.S and the European Union.
Turkey’s government accuses Sweden of being too lenient toward groups that Ankara says pose a security threat, including militant Kurdish groups and people associated with a 2016 coup attempt.
Sweden has a Kurdish diaspora of around 100,000 people.
Demonstrations by pro-Kurdish and anti-NATO groups in Sweden have frustrated Stockholm’s efforts to show it is taking Turkey’s security concerns seriously. Other protests by individual anti-Islam activists have complicated things further.
On Wednesday a man who identified himself in Swedish media as a refugee from Iraq burned a Quran outside a mosque in central Stockholm. Police authorized the protest, citing freedom of speech, after a previous decision to ban a similar protest was overturned by a Swedish court.
Turkish officials condemned the Quran-burning on the first day of the Eid al-Adha holiday.
“Defending hate crimes under the guise of freedom of expression is a violation of the rights of those who are the victims of these crimes and a real blow to freedom of expression,” Vice President Cevdet Yilmaz said in a social media post.
Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan said it was “unacceptable to allow these anti-Islamic actions under the pretext of freedom of expression. To turn a blind eye to such atrocious acts is to be complicit.”
Hungary has never clearly stated publicly what its concerns are about Sweden’s possible membership.
In a Facebook post, Agnes Vadai, a lawmaker with Hungary’s opposition Democratic Coalition party, wrote that Prime Minister Viktor Orban and his governing Fidesz party would not schedule a vote on Sweden’s accession during its final spring session next week.
The postponement is the latest in a long succession of delays that have gone on for a year, with high-ranking Hungarian officials saying they support Sweden’s membership while also making vague demands from Stockholm as a condition for approval.
NATO officials expect that Hungary will approve Sweden’s membership once Turkey lifts its objections.
French President Emmanuel Macron called on Turkey and Hungary to quickly approve the accession.
“It’s now time … to allow Sweden to attend the Vilnius summit as an ally,” Macron said in a joint declaration with Stoltenberg ahead of a working meeting Wednesday in Paris. “Now, more than ever, is the time to make decisions that will ensure the unity and stability of the continent.”

NEW YORK (AP)Phil Regan sued the New York Mets and former general manager Brodie Van Wagenen, alleging age discrimination and wrongful termination when he was moved out as pitching coach after the 2019 season.
Regan, a former big league pitcher who turns 86 in April, also claimed harassment and hostile work environment in a complaint filed Monday in New York Supreme Court in Queens.
”Phil came into an underperforming pitching staff and immediately righted the ship,” his lawyer, Matthew J. Blit, said in a statement Tuesday. ”He helped lower the team ERA and brought the staff back to where it was supposed to be. Instead of rewarding him for his masterful performance he was tossed aside because of his age.”
Regan was 96-81 with a 3.84 ERA for Detroit, the Chicago Cubs and White Sox and the Los Angeles Dodgers from 1960-72 and was an All-Star in 1966. He managed the Baltimore Orioles to a 71-73 record and third-place finish in the AL East during the strike-shortened 1995 season.
He joined the Mets organization as pitching coach of Class A St. Lucie in 2009 and became minor league pitching coordinator in 2016.
New York fired pitching coach Dave Eiland on June 20, 2019, when the team was fourth in the NL East at 35-39 with a big league-high 16 blown saves and a 4.67 ERA, 20th among the 30 big league clubs. Regan became interim pitching coach, and the Mets lowered their ERA to 4.24 by the end of the season.
Regan was replaced on Dec. 8 by Jeremy Hefner, who was 33 at the time and still holds the job. Regan claimed in the suit the Mets offered him a minor league contract at reduced terms. Regan was listed last season as senior adviser, pitching development.
”BVW specifically informed Mr. Regan that he wasn’t being retained because of his age,” the suit said, referring to Van Wagenen by his initials.
The Mets declined comment and Van Wagenen, who was fired when Steve Cohen bought the team in November 2020, said he deferred to the team for any comment.
Regan’s suit contends the team ”has further harassed and discriminated” against him by ”further decreases in salary, further denials of opportunities which he deserved, and even a reduction in housing allowance.”

SEATTLE (AP) — Caitlin Clark felt it was all happening a little too quick and on the stage of playing in a regional semifinal, Iowa’s star needed to slow down for a change.
“I felt like I was playing a little frantic. I felt like I was rushed on offense,” Clark said.
In this case, slowing down led to a big second half from Clark and the Hawkeyes.
Clark scored 31 points, 18 coming in the second half, and No. 2 seed Iowa shook disappointments the past two seasons and reached the Elite Eight of the women’s NCAA Tournament with an 87-77 win over Colorado in the Seattle 4 Regional semifinals on Friday night.
After two straight tournaments where Clark’s season ended in the round of 16 and the round of 32, the Hawkeyes will play for a chance at just the second Final Four berth in school history on Sunday.
“Anytime you get to play basketball for this long, it’s really special. None of us want this to end,” Iowa’s Monika Czinano said.
Clark was the catalyst for Iowa’s big second half, and the first-team All-American finished 11 of 22 shooting with four 3-pointers and eight assists. It was her 11th game this season scoring at least 30 points.
But she had plenty of help, especially after Clark sat a chunk of the first half after picking up two fouls.
Czinano added 15 points, including a key basket in the paint with 1:10 remaining. Kate Martin scored 16 and McKenna Warnock scored 10. Iowa shot 54% for the game and 59% in the second half.
“We shot the ball very well tonight and I’m proud of that because of Colorado’s defense,” Iowa coach Lisa Bluder said. “We scored more points than anybody has all year against their defense. Their defense is very good, but we were still able to shoot over 50% from the field. But you do that when you’re having the balance of four people in double figures.”
Iowa (29-6) will face No. 5 seed Louisville in the regional final on Sunday. It’s the fifth Elite Eight appearance for the Hawkeyes, but their only Final Four appearance came in 1993.
Frida Formann led Colorado (25-9) with 21 points, but 19 of those came in the first half when her shooting carried the Buffaloes. But Formann was shut down in the second half and fouled out with 6:37 remaining.
“I had a lot of space in the first half and my teammates were just finding me. When it’s this stage my job is to shoot the ball so that’s what I’m gonna do,” Formann said. “And then they adjusted defensively and we’re a little tighter.”
Colorado pulled within 76-70 on Quay Miller’s 3-pointer with 4:16 remaining and the deficit was down to 78-74 after Jaylyn Sherrod’s steal and layup with 1:40 left. But that was the last push by the Buffaloes as Czinano scored in the paint and Iowa made seven free throws in the final minute.
Aaronette Vonleh added 13 points and Miller had 12 points and 14 rebounds for the Buffs.
“To be down twice by double digits against Iowa and to be able to fight back and continue to never wilt, never hang our heads and just keep playing, stay the course was awesome,” Colorado coach JR Payne said.
DECISIVE RUN
Colorado lingered far longer than expected, but it was Iowa’s run in the early stages of the third quarter and keyed by Clark that finally gave the Hawkeyes some cushion.
Clark started a string of 11 straight points for the Hawkeyes with a driving basket, added a 3-pointer off a loose ball and followed by a steal and layup that gave Iowa a 54-42 lead and forced Payne to burn two timeouts in 2 minutes.
Iowa eventually pushed the lead to 62-47 and Colorado could never catch up over the final 15 minutes leaving Clark and her team celebrating before the large Iowa contingent of fans walking off the court.
“I guess it was kind of our crowd. It felt like there was a lot of Hawk fans out there. I don’t know if they’ve traveled from the state of Iowa, from the Midwest and if they did, we really appreciate that. And if you’re from out here, we appreciate you coming too,” Clark said.

PHOENIX (AP) — Kari Lake, the defeated Republican candidate for Arizona governor, has filed a public records lawsuit demanding Maricopa County hand over a variety of documents related to the election.
Lake has refused to acknowledge that she lost to Democrat Katie Hobbs and has for weeks drawn attention to voters who said they experienced long lines and other difficulties while voting on Election Day in Arizona’s largest county.
Her lawyer, Tim LaSota, says in the suit filed Wednesday that the county has not fulfilled public records requests filed on Nov. 15 and 16. The requests seek to identify voters who may have had trouble casting a ballot, such as people who checked in at more than one vote center or those who returned a mail ballot and also checked in at a polling place.
Lake is also asking for information about counted and uncounted ballots that were accidentally mixed. County officials have acknowledged the problem occurred at a handful of vote centers but say it happens in most elections and can be reconciled.
Lake and her allies have bombarded Maricopa County with complaints about Election Day problems, which stem largely from a problem with printers at some vote centers that led them to print ballots with markings that were too light to be read by the on-site tabulators. All ballots were counted, but Lake says some of her supporters may have been unable to cast a ballot amid the chaos.
Lake wants the county to produce the records before certifying the election. The Board of Supervisors, controlled 4-1 by Republicans, votes to certify the election on Monday, the deadline under state law. Certification votes are also scheduled for Monday in five other counties, including two where Republican supervisors voted earlier to delay certifying the election.
The statewide canvass is scheduled for Dec. 5.
County officials did not immediately respond to a request for comment Friday. Board of Supervisors Chairman Bill Gates, a Republican, has said the county takes responsibility for the printer issue but blamed prominent Republicans including state GOP Chair Kelli Ward for exacerbating the problem by telling voters not to allow their ballots to be counted at the elections headquarters in downtown Phoenix.

ANAHEIM, Calif. (AP) — Mickey Moniak homered in the eighth inning and the Los Angeles Angels won for the fourth time in five games, beating the Boston Red Sox 2-1 on Monday night.
Moniak drove a changeup from Kutter Crawford (1-2) over the wall in the right field to lead off the eighth.
Moniak, the top pick by Philadelphia in the 2016 draft, was acquired from the Phillies at the trade deadline last year. He is batting .429 (12 for 28) with three home runs and six RBIs since being called up on May 12.
Masataka Yoshida had two hits and an RBI for the Red Sox, who have dropped two straight after winning four in a row.
Angels' right-hander Jaime Barria tossed five shutout innings in his first start in two years.
Chase Silseth (1-1) got the win, striking out two in two scoreless innings.
The Angels opened the scoring in the second. Brandon Drury drew a walk with one out, advanced to third on a base hit by Matt Thaiss and scored on Luis Rengifo's grounder to short.
Los Angeles had the bases loaded with two outs in the inning, but failed to add any more runs when Mike Trout struck out. Trout and Shohei Ohtani each went 0 for 3 with a walk and two strikeouts.
Boston evened the score at 1-all in the sixth inning after Barria left the game. Connor Wong led off with a double off Aaron Loup and scored when Masataka Yoshida hit a chopper that bounced off the glove of Angels' first baseman Jared Walsh for a base hit.
Yoshida's RBI also snapped a 19-inning scoreless streak for the Red Sox.
FOR STARTERS
Barria, who was making his first start Aug. 6, 2021, made his case for staying in the rotation after allowing only two hits and striking out six. The right-hander was primarily a starter for the Angels from 2018-21, before being moved to the bullpen.
Boston's Tanner Houck also had a strong outing. The right-hander allowed only one run on three hits and struck out eight in six innings.
TRAINER'S ROOM
Red Sox: LHP Richard Bleier (left shoulder inflammation) was placed on the 15-day injured list. LHP Brennan Bernardino was called up from Triple-A Worcester. ... INF Yu Chang (left hamate fracture) could start his minor-league rehab assignment on Wednesday, according to manager Alex Cora.
Angels: Manager Phil Nevin said it is doubtful 3B Anthony Rendon (left groin strain) would be ready to come off the IL when he is eligible on Wednesday. Rendon has yet to take part in any on-field activities.
UP NEXT
Red Sox: RHP Brayan Bello (3-1, 4.45 ERA) has a 2.59 ERA in his last four starts.
Angels: RHP Griffin Canning (2-2, 6.14 ERA) has dropped his past two starts.

Trauma recovery walk held in New Haven
NEW HAVEN, CT (WFSB) - People spent the morning walking in New Haven parks.
It’s all to help people suffering with trauma.
“Cause we care, we just want to make a difference,” said Carol Martin, Executive Director of Trauma Recovery.
With each step in College Woods Park, these walkers are.
“We provide mental health services training for mental health services after manmade or natural disasters,” said Carol.
Trauma recovery is raising money on Sunday’s two-mile walk. Their team is mostly volunteers and could use some financial help.
There are a few dozen walkers here who help people in Connecticut.
Some more are donating and supporting around the world.
“We have walkers in Norway. We have walkers India and we have walkers in Florida,” said Carol.
The money from the walk will go to the organization. They will then use it to train more volunteers and help more people suffering from trauma.
Marc Wallman lives nearby and is happy to walk to east rock park and donate to support trauma recovery.
“I know people who have actually had treatment with a therapist and I know they provide services for crises all around the world and I think it’s worthwhile supporting them,” said Wallman.

A redesigned Mini Countryman is coming for the 2024 model year, and it will be introduced later this year.
Prototypes have been testing around Europe for the past couple of years and this week Mini confirmed production will start late this year, but at a plant in Germany and not the Dutch plant of contract manufacturer VDL Nedcar, where the current Countryman is built.
The redesigned Countryman will be built at a BMW plant in Leipzig, which will make it the first Mini to be built in Germany. The plant is where BMW builds the latest 1-Series, 2-Series Active Tourer, and 2-Series Gran Coupe—all vehicles that use the FAAR platform that underpins the redesigned Countryman.
The FAAR platform is an evolution of the UKL platform underpinning the current Countryman. One of the biggest changes is improved support for battery-electric powertrains. The new Countryman will take advantage of this feature by offering the choice of gas and electric powertrains.
To accommodate high-volume production of electric vehicles at the Leipzig plant, BMW has invested more than 800 million euros (approximately $850 million) to add production for EV components, including batteries.
Mini hasn’t provided any details on its new Countryman, though teaser shots as well as spy shots of prototypes point to increased length, most of which will benefit rear cargo storage. The bigger size will also free up space in Mini’s lineup for a smaller, fully electric crossover that will likely go by the Aceman name.

Film director and deep sea explorer James Cameron was among the first major voices to react Thursday to the tragic conclusion of a multinational search for five people exploring the Titanic wreck on a missing submersible that authorities say likely imploded.
Cameron, who directed the 1997 blockbuster “Titanic” and has made several dives to the wreck on the floor of the North Atlantic, located about 900 miles east of Cape Cod.
The director of the Oscar winning film said the captain of the Titanic ignored warnings about the ice that would eventually doom the ship. Stockton Rush, creator of the submersible and the chief executive of OceanGate, similarly pushed ahead even as experts in the diving community warned of pitfalls in its design, he said.

“Many people in the community were very concerned about this sub,” Cameron told ABC news on Thursday. “I’m struck by the similarity of the Titanic disaster itself, where the captain was repeatedly warned about ice ahead of his ship, and yet he steamed ahead at full speed into an ice field on a moonless night.
“For a very similar tragedy, where warnings went unheeded, to take place at the same exact site with all the diving that’s going on all around the world, I think it’s just astonishing,” he said.

Debris was discovered about 1,600 feet from the bow of the Titanic on Thursday by a remote-controlled underwater vehicle, Coast Guard officials said in Boston. Authorities said the debris suggests the vessel, named Titan, underwent a “catastrophic implosion,” killing all five on board, including Rush.
French explorer and Titanic expert Paul-Henri Nargeolet, British adventurer Hamish Harding, and Pakistani businessman Shahzada Dawood and his son Suleman were also killed, authorities said.
The vessel went missing Sunday morning about an hour and 45 minutes after beginning its descent when it lost communication with the research ship Polar Prince.

In 2018, a group of leaders in the Marine Technology Society wrote a letter to Rush warning of possible “catastrophic” problems with the Titan development and its plans to tour the Titanic wreckage, according to the New York Times.
More than three dozen people signed the letter, including oceanographers, submersible company executives, and deep-sea explorers who warned that they had “unanimous concern” about the vessel’s development.
The letter said OceanGate’s marketing for the Titan was “misleading” by claiming that the vessel met or exceeded safety standards set by a risk assessment agency known as DNV, but the company had no plans to have the craft assessed by the group, according to the Times.
Cameron said for sub designers, the pressure boundary, or the hull, is “first and foremost” in the minds of engineers.
“We spend so much time and energy on that,” he said.
Cameron said he’d known Nargeolet for 25 years and called him a “legendary submersible dive pilot.”
“For him to have died tragically in this way is almost impossible for me to process,” he said.

The New College of Florida trustees now dominated by conservatives appointed by Gov. Ron DeSantis voted Wednesday to deny tenure to five professors, overriding concerns by faculty and students that the decision poses a threat to academic freedom.
The traditionally progressive public college in Sarasota, Florida, currently has only 659 students enrolled this year but has become the focal point of a campaign by DeSantis to rid higher education in the state of what the Republican governor calls left-leaning “woke” indoctrination on campuses.
The school’s interim president, DeSantis ally and former state House Speaker Richard Corcoran, said in a memo to the trustees that he wanted the professors’ tenure denied or delayed in part because of the administrative changes and because of “a renewed focus on ensuring the college is moving towards a more traditional liberal arts institution.”
“You’ve got a brand new president, a brand new provost. You have literally a change in direction,” Corcoran said Wednesday, noting the professors were applying for tenure a year early and could return again next year. “Let’s just defer it one year.”
The trustees denied tenure for all five professors on identical 6-4 votes, with the new conservative board members in the majority. Shouts of “shame on you!” came from the audience afterward. One trustee holdover, New College professor Matthew Lepinski, quit the board after the vote and walked out of the room.
“I’ve very concerned about the direction this board is going. This is my last board meeting. I’m leaving the college,” Lepinski said without further explanation.
Tenured professors can typically be fired only under extreme circumstances, such as professional misconduct or a financial emergency. Advocates for tenure say it is a crucial component of academic freedom but conservatives have begun targeting tenure around the country, often taking aim at professors with supposedly liberal views.
The five professors denied tenure are Rebecca Black and Lin Jiang, who both teach organic chemistry; Nassima Neggaz, history and religion with a focus on Islam; coastal and marine science professor Gerardo Toro-Farmer; and Hugo Viera-Vargas, whose specialty is Caribbean/Latin American studies and music.
All five began their applications for tenure in May 2022 and won approval of both New College faculty and the school’s previous administration, which includes its current provost. Students, faculty and parents spoke at the trustees meeting in favor of granting tenure to the five professors, at one point breaking into a loud chant of “give them tenure.”
“Your disruptive agenda is clearly not in the best interests of the students,” said Joyce White, whose daughter attends New College. “Tenure and academic freedom go hand in hand.”
Several dozen protesters outside the meeting gave speeches and carried signs with slogans such as “Hands Off NCF” and “Defy. The Political Pawns Strike Back.” Banners were also unfurled from a nearby highway overpass that read ”Protect Professors” and “Resist Fascism.”
The new trustees previously terminated the school’s president in favor of Corcoran and scrapped the college’s small office of diversity, equity and inclusion. The administration is also starting sports programs, including baseball.
The conservative takeover has gained national attention, prompting a visit in April by Democratic Gov. Gavin Newsom of California in which he sharply criticized DeSantis and the changes under way at New College.
“I can’t believe what you’re dealing with. It’s just an unbelievable assault,” Newsom said during a meeting with students and faculty.

This Third ONR grant to Elemental continues to enable project deployments in communities most affected by climate change
HONOLULU and EAST PALO ALTO, Calif., May 25, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Elemental Excelerator, a global nonprofit funding the deployment of climate technologies, today announced a new multi-year commitment from the Office of Naval Research (ONR) to expand its mission to redesign the systems behind climate change. This commitment of $32.5 million over five years brings the total funding from ONR to more than $90 million. This is the third installment of ONR funding to advance technology commercialization and first-of-a-kind project deployments.
"This grant from the Navy is a vote of confidence in our ability to select technologies and design projects that transform the systems behind climate change," said Dawn Lippert, CEO, Elemental Excelerator. "The Navy's five-year commitment enables us to bring new private and philanthropic funders to the table who are increasingly stepping up to invest in equitable climate solutions."
"We are excited to leverage this groundbreaking federal funding to mobilize a growing network of ambitious foundations, corporate leaders, and private investors to work together to de-risk climate technologies, grow a more diverse climate workforce, and build on the nearly $7 billion in follow-on funding that our work has inspired to date," said Melissa Uhl, Chief Growth Officer, Elemental Excelerator.
"This award is proof that federal funding can help bring major private sector investments into the fight against climate change," said U.S. Senator Brian Schatz, Hawai'i. "Elemental is a groundbreaking organization, leveraging funds to identify and incubate new climate solutions, and ultimately scale those solutions around the globe."
In May 2022, the Department of the Navy released its climate strategy, Climate Action 2030, which sets the objective of building a climate-ready force through two performance goals: building climate resilience, and reducing the climate threat. The Department will work with a range of stakeholders, including Elemental, to meet these goals.
"The purpose of the grant to Elemental Excelerator is to leverage private sector innovation to help the Department of the Navy reach climate goals while strengthening our maritime dominance," said Deborah Loomis, Senior Advisor for Climate Change to the Secretary of the Navy. "Grants like this one help ensure that tomorrow's climate innovators are able to secure the resources they need to create the solutions we need."
While Elemental's work began in the use of the accelerator model with climate-focused startups, the organization has grown to now encompass a wide array of teams transforming the climate tech landscape, including:

William and Kate lead royals at Easter service; queen absent
LONDON (AP) — Senior British royals including Prince William and his wife Kate have attended an Easter Sunday church service at Windsor Castle.
Queen Elizabeth II, who has been experiencing mobility problems, did not attend the service at St. George’s Chapel on the castle grounds, a fixture in the royals’ calendar.
William and Kate, also known as the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, were accompanied by two of their three children: Prince George, 8, and 6-year-old Princess Charlotte.
Also in attendance were the queen’s youngest son, Prince Edward, with his wife Sophie and their children, and Princess Eugenie, the daughter of Prince Andrew.
The queen, who turns 96 on Thursday, is celebrating her Platinum Jubilee this year, marking 70 years on the throne.
She cut back on public duties on her doctors’ orders since spending a night in hospital in October, and also had a bout of COVID-19 in February. She attended a memorial service last month for her late husband Prince Philip, and has continued to meet virtually with diplomats and politicians.
On Thursday she had a visit from her grandson Prince Harry and his wife Meghan — the first time the couple has visited the U.K. together since they stepped down as working royals in 2020 and moved to California.
Harry and Meghan visited the queen at Windsor, 20 miles (32 kilometers) west of London, on their way to the Netherlands for the Invictus Games. Harry is founder and patron of the international sports competition for wounded or ill military personnel and veterans.

Leader of Argentina’s Mothers of the Plaza dies at 93
By DEBORA REY
Associated Press
BUENOS AIRES, Argentina (AP) — A housewife who became a human rights campaigner when her two sons vanished after being arrested under Argentina’s military dictatorship has died. Hebe de Bonafini was 93 and suffered chronic illnesses. She was among 14 women who founded the Mothers of the Plaza de Mayo in 1977, two years after the military seized power and began a brutal crackdown on suspected leftists. She became president two years later and led the more radical of two factions until her death. The Mothers initially demanded the return of their children — and later punishment of the military figures responsible for seizing and killing them

Which chaise lounge cushion is best?
A chaise lounge is a long reclining chair that may have arms and be upholstered. It is the Americanized version of the classic French chaise longue, invented by furniture makers so the wealthy would have a place to rest without having to retire to their bedrooms.
These days, chaise lounges made for indoor use tend to be upholstered, and those made to be used outdoors are not. Outdoors, the choice of many is to add cushions to make it a more comfortable place to relax. If you are looking for a comfy cushion that rolls up so you can take it to the beach, check out the Classic Accessories Storigami Water-Resistant Chaise Lounge Cushion.
What to know before you buy a chaise lounge cushion
Whether you’re relaxing poolside, on the patio or under a tree, a chaise lounge is a great place to stretch out your legs and fully recline. Outdoor chaise lounges are generally made of wood, metal or plastics durable enough to stand up to sun, rain and the elements. You can make your chaise more comfortable by adding a layer of padded cushions built to withstand the elements as well as your lounge chair does.
Made for outdoor use
Cushions for outdoor chaise lounges need to be able to resist sun, rain, winds and harsh weather.
-
Water-resistant cushions are a must unless you plan on taking in your cushions every night or every time it looks like it might rain.
-
Fade-resistant cushions are a good choice if your cushions are exposed to lots of sunlight.
-
Tie-down cushions are good to have if your outdoor area is windy.
Width
- Single seat: Match the width of your cushions with the width of your chaise. Most chaise lounges are about two feet wide. If your chaise has arms, make sure your cushion fits between them.
- Double seat: These lounges made for two to sit side by side are at least twice as wide as single chaises and sometimes even more than that. Double-width cushions are as unwieldy as twin mattresses, so look for a set of two single cushions that fit the dimensions of your lounge chair.
What to look for in a quality chaise lounge cushion
How your chaise hinges
Most outdoor chaise lounges have adjustable backs so you can sit upright for reading or lie flat for a relaxing nap. Look for cushions that are also hinged so they stay in contact with your entire chaise as you adjust the seat back from one position to another.
Attached or loose?
-
Tie-ons: Cushions that attach to your chaise stay in place and won’t blow away.
-
No tie-ons: Cushions that do not attach are easier to move around, flip over, take indoors or put in the car and take to the beach.
Length
Most chaises are 72 to 80 inches long. Cushions that overhang the ends are better than cushions that are too short.
Pillows
As long as you’re getting comfortable, think about adding an outdoor pillow or two to your chaise lounge cushions. Choose pillows to provide support and comfort for your head, neck and lumbar region, and make sure they’re made for outdoor use.
How much you can expect to spend on a chaise lounge cushion
Most full-sized cushions range from $50-$150. Better fabrics, better padding and better construction make the difference.
Chaise lounge cushion FAQ
If I leave them outdoors all the time, won’t all cushions fade?
A. The longer any materials stay out in the sun, the more their colors fade. Better dyes that completely penetrate the fabric last much longer than more inexpensive dyes that color only the fibers’ surface.
Can I buy a machine-washable cushion for outdoors?
A. Most outdoor cushions do not have a removable cover. The padding and the exterior shell are one unit that won’t fit in your washer. The best way to keep outdoor cushions clean is to wipe away dirt and droppings as quickly as possible, using a soft, damp cloth.

Des Moines man sentenced to 5 years in prison for role in US Capitol riot
CEDAR RAPIDS, Iowa (KCRG) - The Iowa man seen on video leading a mob chasing a Capitol police officer was sentenced to 5 years in prison Friday morning.
Doug Jensen, of Des Moines, was convicted on all felony counts from his trial in September.
Charges include obstruction of an official proceeding, disorderly conduct, and entering a restricted building with a dangerous weapon.
Prosecutors recommended he spend 64 months in prison, which is close to what he was sentenced to.
They called him a ringleader who was proud of his actions and attention.
The Judge was concerned about Jensen’s lack of both remorse and an apology before his sentence.
During the trial, prosecutors showed videos and photos Jensen took inside the Capitol.
In a Facebook post, the Q-Anon conspiracy follower said he was “locked and loaded” with pistols.

A fishing community in southern Brazil has an unusual ally: wild dolphins.
Accounts of people and dolphins working together to hunt fish go back millennia, from the time of the Roman Empire near what is now southern France to 19th century Queensland, Australia. But while historians and storytellers have recounted the human point of view, it’s been impossible to confirm how the dolphins have benefited — or if they’ve been taken advantage of — before sonar and underwater microphones could track them underwater.
In the seaside city of Laguna, scientists have, for the first time, used drones, underwater sound recordings and other tools to document how local people and dolphins coordinate actions and benefit from each other’s labor. The most successful humans and dolphins are skilled at reading each other’s body language. The research was published Monday in the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.
The Laguna residents work with wild bottlenose dolphins to catch schools of migratory silver fish called mullet. It’s a locally famous alliance that has been recorded in newspaper records going back 150 years.
“This study clearly shows that both dolphins and humans are paying attention to each other’s behavior, and that dolphins provide a cue to when the nets should be cast,” said Stephanie King, a biologist who studies dolphin communication at the University of Bristol and was not involved in the research.
“This is really incredible cooperative behavior,” she added. “By working with the dolphins,” the people catch more fish, “and the dolphins are more successful in foraging, too.”
Dolphins and humans are both highly intelligent and long-lived social animals. But when it comes to fishing, they have different abilities.
“The water is really murky here, so the people can’t see the schools of fish. But the dolphins use sounds to find them, by emitting small clicks,” much as bats use echolocation, said Mauricio Cantor, an Oregon State University marine biologist and study co-author.
As the dolphins herd the fish toward the coast, the people run into the water holding hand nets.
“They wait for dolphins to signal exactly where fish are – the most common signal is what locals call ‘a jump,’ or a sudden deep dive,” said Cantor, who is also affiliated with the Federal University of Santa Catarina in Florianópolis, Brazil.
The researchers used sonar and underwater microphones to track the positions of the dolphins and fish, while drones recorded the interactions from above, and GPS devices attached to residents’ wrists recorded when they cast their nets.
The more closely the people synchronized their net-casting to the dolphins’ signals, the more likely they were to trap a large catch.
So what’s in it for the dolphins?
The descending nets startle the fish, which break into smaller schools that are easier for dolphins to hunt. “The dolphins may also take one or two fish from the net – sometimes fishers can feel dolphin tugging a little on the net,” said Cantor.
The Laguna residents categorize the individual dolphins as “good,” “bad,” or “lazy” — based on their skill in hunting and affinity for cooperating with humans, said Cantor. The people get most excited when they see a “good” dolphin approaching shore.
“These dolphins and humans have developed a joint foraging culture that allows them both to do better,” said Boris Worm, a marine ecologist at Dalhousie University in Halifax, Canada, who was not involved in the research.
It’s not clear how the Laguna cooperation first emerged, but it’s survived multiple human and dolphin generations – with knowledge passed down by experienced fishers and dolphins to the next generation of each species.
Still, the researchers in Brazil worry that the Laguna alliance, perhaps one of the last of its kind, may be in danger as well, as pollution threatens the dolphins and artisanal fishing gives way to industrial methods.
“Human-wildlife cooperation is disappearing because we’re decimating the wildlife populations,” said Janet Mann, a dolphin researcher at Georgetown University, who was not involved in the study.
Scientists hope that greater awareness of the unusual interspecies cooperation can help drive support to protect it. “It’s amazing that it’s lasted for over a century – can we keep this cultural tradition alive amid many changes?” said Damien Farine, a University of Zurich biologist and study co-author.

JINDERIS, Syria (AP) — A baby girl who was born under the rubble of her family’s earthquake-shattered home has left the hospital and gone to her new home, where she was with her paternal aunt’s family Monday.
The girl had been at the hospital since hours after the Feb. 6 earthquake. She was discharged Saturday and her aunt and uncle adopted her and gave her a new name, Afraa, after her late mother.
Afraa’s mother died in the quake along with her father and four siblings. A day after the infant arrived at the hospital, officials there named her Aya — Arabic for “a sign from God.”
Afraa’s story has been widely shared in news reports and people from around the world have offered to help her, with some saying they would like to adopt her. However, the relatives who took her in said that, however hard their circumstances, the best place for the infant is with family.
On Monday, Afraa was being cared for by her uncle, Khalil al-Sawadi, who is now living with relatives in the town of Jinderis in northern Syria after his home was also destroyed in the earthquake. Al-Sawadi and his wife have four daughters and two sons and now Afraa will be living with her cousins.
“She is one of my children now. I will not differentiate between her and my children,” al-Sawadi, who is also a cousin of the newborn’s parents, told The Associated Press on Monday while sitting cross-legged holding Afraa and surrounded by his six children. “She will be dearer than my children because she will keep the memory alive of her father, mother and siblings.”
He added that days after Afraa was born, his wife gave birth to a daughter, Attaa.
While in the hospital in the nearby town of Afrin, the director’s wife has been breast-feeding Afraa.
Judicial officials in Afrin had taken over the case of Afraa after the girl drew international attention and some people came to the hospital claiming they are related to her although they had different family names than Afraa and her mother.
For days, al-Sawadi was worried that someone might kidnap her and he visited her frequently at the hospital.
A hospital official said Afraa was handed over to her aunt’s family days after a DNA test was conducted to make sure the girl and her aunt are biologically related.
“It was sad and some nurses wept” when she was taken from the hospital, said Dr. Hani Maarouf who had taken care of Afraa since she was brought to the facility. He added that the baby girl was in very good health when she was released.
Rescue workers in Jinderis discovered the dark-haired baby girl more than 10 hours after the quake as they were digging through the wreckage of the five-story apartment building where her parents lived.
Al-Sawadi recounted how he rushed out of his home when the earthquake happened and found that the nearby building where Afraa’s family lived had been reduced to a pile of rubble. Along with others from the area, al-Sawadi said they dug through the rubble in heavy rain for hours until he grew tired and sat to rest nearby.
Shortly afterward, someone called him to identify a dead woman whom they found under the rubble. He told people around that she was his cousin, Afraa. Then, they started hearing a child crying and frantically removed the sand that covered the baby, whose umbilical cord was still still connected to her mother.
Al-Sawadi said he took a razor from his pocked and cut the umbilical cord and handed the girl to another cousin and they rushed her to a nearby hospital where he was told that the girl was in good health. They drove to another hospital in the nearby town of Afrin where they were told it was full and unable to take more patients. They continued to a second hospital, which was also full, before reaching the children’s hospital where she was kept until Saturday.
He said during the chaos after they pulled Afraa from under the rubble, al-Sawadi thought that the newborn was a boy and told the doctor to name “him” after her late father Abdullah Turki Mleihan. They later found out it was a girl.
He said that the girl was kept in hospital for nearly two weeks until the paperwork for her adoption was done.
The devastating 7.8 magnitude earthquake with its epicenter in Turkey’s southeastern Kharamanmaras province struck in the early hours of Feb. 6, followed by multiple aftershocks. Many communities in southeastern Turkey and northern Syria were reduced to piles of broken concrete and twisted metal. More than 44,000 people have been reported dead, a toll expected to rise as search teams find more bodies.
The earthquake destroyed dozens of housing units in the town of Jinderis, where Afraa’s family had been living since 2018.
Afraa’s father, Abdullah Turki Mleihan, was originally from the village of Khsham in eastern Deir el-Zour province, but left in 2014 after the Islamic State group captured the village, Saleh al-Badran, an uncle of Afraa’s father, said earlier this month.
“I will raise her in a way that she will not feel in need for anything,” said al-Sawadi, who buys and sells cars. Surrounded by his children, al-Sawadi asked them if he should give away Afraa to the well-wishers offering to adopt her and they said in one voice, “No.”

A look at what’s happening around the majors today:
___
ALL ABOARD
Aaron Judge and Pete Alonso swing away as the Subway Series starts up at Citi Field with both New York teams in first place.
Jordan Montgomery (3-2, 3.24 ERA) pitches for the Yankees, who own the best record in the majors at 66-31 and a whopping 12 1/2-game lead over Toronto in the AL East.
Taijuan Walker (7-2, 2.55) starts for the Mets, whose once-formidable NL East edge over Atlanta is down to two games. Walker is 4-0 with a 1.80 ERA in his last seven outings.
Judge tops the majors with 37 homers and has 81 RBIs for the Yankees. Alonso leads the big leagues with 82 RBIs and has hit 25 home runs.
The teams play twice this week at the Mets’ home, then meet for two more games in late August at Yankee Stadium.
PAPI POWER
The Boston Red Sox will honor David Ortiz in a pregame tribute at Fenway Park, two days after he was inducted into the Hall of Fame.
Ortiz pins will be given to fans as they enter the ballpark for the game against Cleveland.
Big Papi helped the Red Sox win three World Series championships. In 14 years with the Red Sox, Ortiz hit 500 homers, 17 of them in the postseason.
Ortiz was cheered by fans chanting his name and wearing his No. 34 jersey during Sunday’s ceremonies in Cooperstown, New York, about a four-hour drive from Fenway.
NO-FLY ZONE
The Cardinals will be missing two of their best players — first baseman Paul Goldschmidt and third baseman Nolan Arenado — when they open a two-game series at Toronto. They haven’t received the COVID-19 vaccination and aren’t allowed to enter Canada.
Catcher Austin Romine also won’t make the trip. The trio will be put on the restricted list and forfeit pay and major league service time in accordance with the terms of MLB’s collective bargaining agreement.
Goldschmidt is hitting .335 with 24 home runs and 77 RBIs. Arenado is batting .296 with 18 homers and 59 RBIs.
Right-hander José Berríos (7-4, 5.22 ERA) starts for Toronto against rookie righty Andre Pallante (3-4, 3.34).
ON THE BLOCK
A’s right-hander Frankie Montas makes what could be his final start in an Oakland uniform ahead of the Aug. 2 trade deadline.
Montas is expected to work with a normal pitch count against Houston after being limited to three innings last time out. Prior to that, he missed two straight outings with inflammation in his pitching shoulder. A quality performance against the Astros could help the rebuilding A’s get a bigger return in a trade.
The A’s have scored one or fewer runs in 10 of Montas’ 18 starts and have been shut out three times.
RAYS CONCERN
The Rays will be without veteran hitters Kevin Kiermaier and Mike Zunino for the rest of the season because of injuries, a significant blow for the defending AL East champions.
Manager Kevin Cash said before Monday night’s game at Baltimore that Kiermaier is having an operation in the coming weeks. The 32-year-old outfielder hasn’t played since July 9 because of a left hip injury.
Zunino, a 31-year-old catcher, hasn’t played since June 9 because of left shoulder problems. He’s out for the season because of thoracic outlet syndrome surgery, according to a team spokesman.
Tampa Bay entered Monday’s game holding the second of the American League’s three wild cards.

Interim Halverson principal excited to serve in new position
Published 8:18 pm Monday, March 20, 2023
A familiar face is in a new place as Kim Larson is the new interim principal at Halverson Elementary School after district administration asked her if she would be interested and willing to serve in the position.
Larson is replacing Tonya Franks, who left to become interim director of teaching and learning for the district.
“This has been my goal, to be a principal since back in 2017,” she said.
So far, she said she loved it and was learning new things daily.
“It’s fun to see the smiles on the kids’ faces,” she said. “It’s fun to see the teachers find different solutions for problems, it’s fun to help parents with their questions. I enjoy getting to know the staff.”
Larson had previously served as dean of students at Southwest Middle School, a position she started last August. Before that, she worked as a first-grade teacher at Sibley Elementary as well as with the Distance Learning Academy during the pandemic. She also served as a resource specialist at Sibley last school year. Prior to that, she served as a teacher since 2006.
She said she thought her experiences helped to communicate effectively with parents, students, families and staff.
And she’s learning more about budgets, including the different codes and what they’re used for.
“That’s been a huge learning curve,” she said.
One new challenge, particularly as it related to a growth mindset, was learning the Halverson way and how things were done at the elementary school, as all schools do things a little differently.
“We all follow the same basic guidelines, but then there’s different parts that make each school unique,” she said.
Learning those components has been fun and exciting, she said.
Larson particularly noted the ways schools held assemblies, learning the different ways and times parents preferred to be notified of activities to increase parent involvement, the ways to notify parents regarding information, communicating with teachers and getting to know people on individual levels, which she said made the job more fun.
“It’s exciting for me to learn more about the staff, the teachers, the families and the students to help meet their needs — to help them all be successful and bridge communication between all,” she said.
Another difference between serving as dean of students and being a principal was helping teachers to improve. Some may have questions or others may have challenges they are looking for help with.
“They’ll talk about, ‘I have a question about this,’ or ‘This is a challenge for me, do you have any ideas how to help me with this?’” she said. “So brainstorming, problem-solving definitely.”
During her teaching career, she worked in classes from kindergarten to sixth grade.
Larson, who is from Forest Lake, has two adult children. She has a labradoodle and in her free time loves to garden and bake.
“I’m very grateful for this opportunity to be the interim principal at Halverson,” she said, while adding she’s considering applying for the full-time position.

BEAVERTON, Ore. (AP) — The former mayor of a suburb of Portland, Oregon, has been sentenced to six months in federal prison for possessing child pornography.
Former Beaverton Mayor Dennis “Denny” Doyle, 74, also was sentenced Tuesday to five years probation and ordered to pay $22,000 to his victims, the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the District of Oregon said. He will have to register as a sex offender.
Doyle pleaded guilty to a federal charge of possessing child pornography in October as part of a plea agreement in which a prison sentence of about one year was recommended.
Between November 2014 and December 2015, while Doyle was mayor, he downloaded digital media on his personal computer containing child pornography, according to court documents.
Several of the images were of children under the age of 12 who had been identified as sexually exploited minors by the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children.
When the FBI contacted Doyle at his home, he admitted the drive was his and that he had downloaded the images, according to the U.S. Attorney's Office.
Doyle told the judge last year he was in counseling.
He served on the Beaverton City Council for more than a decade before he was elected mayor in 2008. He lost a reelection bid in 2020.

(WKBN) – Rock artist Kid Rock took to Twitter this week after it was announced that Bud Light had partnered with a woman who is a transgender influencer.
In a video on Twitter, Kid Rock could be seen wearing a “MAGA” hat as he turned around and spoke to the camera:
“Grandpa’s feeling a little frisky today. Let me say something to all you and be as clear and concise as possible.”
The artist then used a rifle to fire gunshots at several cases of Bud Light beer while cursing out the company.
The video had over 32 million views on Twitter on Wednesday.
The activist that Bud Light is partnering with is transgender woman Dylan Mulvaney. According to Fox News, Mulvaney revealed Saturday that the beer company sent packs of Bud Light with the influencer’s face as a way to celebrate a full year of “girlhood.” Mulvaney posted a video on Instagram with the hashtag #budlightpartner to promote the campaign.
Anheuser-Busch responded to Fox News with the following statement:
“Anheuser-Busch works with hundreds of influencers across our brands as one of many ways to authentically connect with audiences across various demographics and passion points.”

OMMEREN, Netherlands (AP) — An officially sanctioned hunt for a stash of precious jewelry looted by the Nazis during World War II and purportedly buried in a sleepy Dutch village has — like many previous searches — failed to unearth any treasure.
Archeologists and historians called into the village of Ommeren, about 80 kilometers (50 miles) southeast of Amsterdam, pushed a detection device called a magnetometer along a row of fruit trees and across a field Monday morning and used a mechanical digger to excavate holes in the soggy soil.
They were rewarded with little more than a World War II-era bullet, some twisted scrap metal, a crumpled car wheel and muddy boots.
Municipal officials hope that the failure of the team — that included members of a local historical society and archeologists from the Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam — to find treasure will put an end to amateur sleuths visiting the village.
“I think there’s minimal chance of finding anything. We dug three holes here of places where we could find through the magnetometer. There was a signal, and none of these holes have found the treasure,” said archeologist Martijn Bink. “So I think this is all what we’ll do. We won’t go any further.”
The local municipality helped fund the latest search after the publication early this year of a hand-drawn map with a red letter X supposedly marking the spot where Nazi troops buried jewelry stolen from a blown-up bank vault.
The appearance of the map sparked a modern-day treasure hunt, with prospectors using metal detectors digging up sites around Ommeren despite a ban.
“A lot of people came digging here … without permission. Caused a lot of inconvenience for the residents,” said Pieter Neven of Buren municipality.
The treasure hunts began after the Dutch National Archive published a mountain of documents — as it does at the start of each year — including the map, which swiftly went viral.
“We’re quite astonished about the story itself. But the attention it’s getting … as well,” National Archive researcher Annet Waalkens said in January.
She said the story started in the summer of 1944 in the Nazi-occupied city of Arnhem — made famous by the star-studded movie “A Bridge Too Far” — when a bomb smashed a bank vault, scattering gold, jewelry and cash across a street.
German forces scooped up as much of the loot as they could and kept it in ammunition boxes, she said, citing an account by a German soldier interviewed by Dutch authorities after the war. As the Germans were pushed back by an Allied advance, they buried the ammunition boxes in Ommeren, according to the soldier’s account.
Dutch authorities recovered the map and searched Ommeren shortly after the war without finding anything. Then the scent went cold until publication of the map triggered the January hunt.
Monday’s archeological efforts also dug up nothing and may have buried the last hope of recovering the loot.

INDIANAPOLIS (WISH) — The battle over IndyCar driver Alex Palou’s contract appears to have come to an end.
Palou, who was sued by his team owners at Chip Ganassi Racing earlier this summer during a contract dispute, announced Wednesday morning on Twitter that he will return to CGR next season.
“I’m excited to announce that @CGRTeams and I have come to an agreement and I’ll be back in the No. 10 car next season! Looking forward to a BIG 2023!” Palou wrote.
Controversy over Palou’s contract erupted on July 12. Several hours after CGR announced that it had exercised its option to extend Palou through the end of the 2023 season, the Spanish driver said in a tweet that the team’s announcement was false and he would be joining McLaren Racing in 2023.
“I have recently learned from the media that this afternoon, without my approval, Chip Ganassi Racing issued a press release announcing that I would be driving with CGR in 2023,” Palou wrote. “As I have recently informed CGR, for personal reasons, I do not intend to continue with the team after 2022.”
Palou’s tweet was followed by a tweet from McLaren announcing that he would join their team next season.
CGR responded several days later by filing suit against Palou in Marion County civil court. In August, Palou’s legal team petitioned the court to move the case to federal court.
With the legal battle likely nearing its end, Palou can shift his focus to the 2023 IndyCar season — and his aspirations to one day compete in Formula One.
Palou tweeted Wednesday that the new agreement will allow him to test in Formula One with McLaren, which has operations in both IndyCar and Formula One.
In July, Palou’s attorneys said the Spanish driver’s aspirations to compete in Formula One were being circumvented by CGR. In a statement, the legal team said CGR was attempting to “keep Alex from an opportunity to compete in Formula one.”
“I’m also grateful that @aleahhordgesGRTeams will allow me to pursue F1 testing with @McLarenF1 outside of my INDYCAR commitments,” Palou tweeted. “Thank you Chip, Mike and the entire team for your willingness to work together and help support both the team and my personal goals throughout this process.”
Chip Ganassi Racing provided the following statement to News 8:
“Alex Palou will remain in the No. 10 car with Chip Ganassi Racing for the 2023 INDYCAR season.
The agreement affords him the opportunity to test cars in separate racing series, provided that it does not directly conflict with his INDYCAR commitments.
As always, we will support Alex as he seeks a second series championship with the team.”
Specific terms of the agreement were not announced.
Palou and CGR finished the 2022 season on a high note, winning Sunday’s IndyCar season finale at WeatherTech Raceway Laguna Seca in Monterey, Calif.

If you’re a sucker for old houses, you need to see this one.
It’s an 1865 farm house on 5.5 acres in Salem that was used at one time as a dairy farm. It’s fallen into disrepair but a lot of original details remain. And it’s listed for sale for $350,000.
“The home needs work, there’s no doubt about it,” said listing agent Janie McCormick with Weichert Realtors in Washington Township. “What it could be is a home that’s one-of-a-kind.”
The 6 bedroom, 1.5 bathroom, 4,034 square foot home has hardwood flooring throughout, original window moulding and shutters.
Its Civil War-era construction pre-dates indoor bathrooms and much of the machinery we have today. So the basement, for example, was dug by hand.
“For that time period it was a very big undertaking,” McCormick said. “I can’t imagine what it was like in 1865. The details ... it’s pretty spectacular.”
The Hiresdale Dairy farm was operated on the property and several of the farm buildings are still standing, including a silo.
The Salem County Historical Society does not have a file on the home, according to its librarian.
The property has caught the eye of HGTV’s Cheap Old Houses, which featured it on the channel’s Instagram page.
“The buyer will be somebody who likes the uniqueness of it. The grandeur of it,” McCormick said. “Even though it needs work, there’s so much potential there.”

US Transportation Dept. lifts restrictions on Cuba flights
WASHINGTON (AP) - The U.S. Transportation Department on Wednesday made it easier for Americans to travel to Cuba, lifting flight restrictions that were established during the Trump administration.
The restrictions had prevented U.S. airline flights and chartered flights from going to Cuban cities other than Havana. Secretary of State Antony Blinken sent a letter to the Transportation Department on Tuesday asking it to revoke the restrictions, and the agency followed through Wednesday.
Blinken said opening up flights to Cuba was “in support of the Cuban people and in the foreign policy interests of the United States.” He said that once the Transportation Department followed through on his request, “scheduled and charter air services between the United States and Cuban airports may resume effective immediately.”
The Biden administration announced last month that it would expand flights to Cuba, take steps to loosen restrictions on U.S. travelers to the island, and lift restrictions on money that immigrants can send to people on the island.
The administration said it would also move to reinstate the Cuban Family Reunification Parole Program, which has a backlog of more than 20,000 applications, and increase consular services and visa processing.
“With these actions, we aim to support Cubans’ aspirations for freedom and for greater economic opportunities so that they can lead successful lives at home,” State Department spokesman Ned Price said last month.

LOUISVILLE, Ky. (AP) — Two long shots winning the Kentucky Derby over the past four years might be coincidental, but they also are a reminder not to dismiss any of the 19 horses running Saturday at Churchill Downs.
Especially since Rich Strike and Country House demonstrated how some faith could pay off big.
Country House’s stunning elevation in 2019 from Derby runner-up to winner stood out initially because of the unprecedented circumstance in which stewards disqualified Maximum Security for interference after he crossed the line first. An eye-popping payout of $132.40 followed for the 59-1 long shot, which ranked as the second-highest payout until Rich Strike came out of nowhere last May to overtake favorite Epicenter in the stretch and post the dramatic upset.
Rich Strike returned $163.60 at nearly 81-1, second only to Donerail’s $184.90 in 1913. His remarkable run still generates buzz, which might stir interest in nine starters saddled with morning line odds of 30-1 to 50-1.
“It’s a race where the odds don’t really matter nearly as much as they do in the other races because the favorite can get a bad draw at the post,” Rich Strike’s trainer, Eric Reed, said this week. “He could get a trouble trip, and a lot of times a lot of horses get bad trips.
“If I’m handicapping the Derby, I always look first and foremost for a horse that can get the distance because three-quarters of the field won’t. And if you can single out the one that will, then you’ve got a horse that’s going to run in the top five or six.”
Hall of Fame trainer Todd Pletcher has the top two 3-year-old choices on Saturday in Forte (3-1), who is on a five-race winning streak, and Tapit Trice (5-1), who rallied to win the Blue Grass at Keeneland. Angel of Empire (8-1) is the third choice and trained by Louisville-born Brad Cox.
Everybody else has double-digit odds, with Jace’s Road, Raise Cain, Reincarnate, Sun Thunder and just-added King Russell the longest shots at 50-1. Disarm, Hit Show, Cyclone Mischief — who got in on Thursday after Practical Move was scratched — and Rocket Can are listed as 30-1. Japan-bred horse Mandarin Hero, who replaced Lord Miles following trainer Saffie Joseph Jr.’s suspension, and Confidence Game are listed at 20-1.
While wide-ranging odds are common in most races, horsemen and handicappers note the gaps in Derby horses don’t necessarily reflect quality. The qualifying process begins in the fall with points awarded to the top four in selected graded stakes races, increasing in value in early spring championship races that largely determine the field and presumed favorites.
And the horses to watch.
“Every horse that runs in the Derby absolutely needs to be taken seriously because of the nature of the Derby that you need to qualify,” said Andrew Moore, racing general manager for FanDuel.com. “There has to be a certain standard to get into the Derby in the first place, so there is quality control.”
From there, a horse needs a combination of ability, determination and a little luck.
Rich Strike was the first of two also-eligibles poised to get in with a defection, which occurred at the last minute when Hall of Fame trainer D. Wayne Lukas scratched Ethereal Road the Friday before the Derby. Little was known about Rich Strike, hence the high odds, but the racing world quickly learned about him as he navigated from the outside No. 20 post through any space he could find before eventually passing Epicenter.
Country House was ninth at the three-quarter mile point before surging through the slop into the top three and finishing 1 3/4 lengths behind Maximum Security before the historic DQ after a 22-minute review. His run was no fluke, considering he was fourth or better in three preceding stakes races.
“Country House was a horse that I always liked, but did I know he was going to show up that way on Derby day?” Hall of Fame trainer Bill Mott said last week. “He was 50-1 and was one of the biggest payoffs in Derby history. When they run a race, you’re never really sure.”
Tempting as it might be for bettors to think it could happen again Saturday and take a chance on long shots, Moore believes those wagers will be more recreational wagers than primary. Short odds speak volumes about a horse’s form, and favorites have displayed it very well in the Derby.
But as Rich Strike demonstrated last year, anything is possible in the Derby if everything falls into place.
Moore added: “That is part of the fun and fascination of the Derby, what we don’t know.”

NAIROBI, Kenya (AP) — Intense fighting between Ethiopian government forces and Oromo Liberation Army rebels in the country’s Oromia region has led to “several dozen” casualties in the past week, witnesses tell The Associated Press.
The fighting in Oromia, the largest of Ethiopia’s federal states, intensified as peace efforts were ending a larger, separate conflict between government and Tigray forces in northern Ethiopia.
A witness in the West Wollega area town of Bila said he saw bodies scattered on the ground following an alleged aerial attack on Nov. 2 by what he described as a “small flying plane” or possible drone.
“It was a market day, and students were leaving school,” the witness said, speaking on condition of anonymity for fear of retribution. “I have lost count of the dead, but several dozen people were killed and injured.”
Witnesses in recent attacks in Oromia have blamed Ethiopian forces.
A priest in Bila said his church members buried 11 victims of what he described as a drone attack. He said hundreds of people were injured and sent to nearby hospitals.
The attack was followed by heavy fighting Sunday morning between Ethiopian forces and the rebels in the town of Nekemte in the East Wollega area, a witness said, adding that government forces retook control of the town in the afternoon.
The spokesman for the Oromo Liberation Army, Odaa Tarbii, tweeted that the rebel group’s fighters “rescued over 120 political prisoners” during an operation in Nekemte on Sunday. It claimed “several regime military installations” there were destroyed.
Ethiopian government spokesman Legesse Tulu didn’t respond to questions about the latest fighting. The government has accused the Oromo Liberation Army of carrying out mass killings in recent months.
The OLA was once a military wing of an opposition party, the Oromo Liberation Front. Its members returned to Ethiopia in 2018 after Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed invited exiled groups and political figures to come back. However, the military wing detached from the party soon after and began deadly confrontations with government forces.
The OLA asserts that it stands for the security and self-determination of the Oromo people, Ethiopia’s largest ethnic group. Ethiopia has labeled it a terrorist organization.
The conflict in Oromia is separate from the conflict in Ethiopia’s Tigray region, but the OLA and Tigray forces announced an alliance late last year aimed at toppling the Ethiopian government.
A “permanent cessation of hostilities” in the Tigray conflict was signed last week, and a second round of peace talks is underway this week in neighboring Kenya.

BUENOS AIRES, Argentina (AP) — Argentina reported a monthly inflation rate of 7.4% in July, the highest number in two decades for a country where citizens are used to increasing prices.
Over the past year, Argentina’s consumer prices have soared a whopping 71%, the INDEC national statistics agency said Thursday.
At a time when many people around the world are trying to deal with rapidly rising prices, these latest numbers cemented Argentina’s position among countries with the highest inflation rates in the world.
The effects of the inflation scourge is plainly evident in Villa Fiorito, around 15kms (9 miles) from downtown Buenos Aires, where unemployed women gather in the hopes of bartering goods for food in a plaza.
Every afternoon, women set up their blankets and carefully lay out all kinds of goods, including clothes, toys and used kitchen utensils with the hope of exchanging them for food to feed their families.
The bartering that takes place every day in Villa Fiorito, famous for being the birthplace of late soccer legend Diego Armando Maradona, has emerged as a way for dozens of women who do not have a fixed income to make ends meet at a time when the cost of living has soared.
Things are likely to get worse before they get better in Argentina as analysts project that inflation this year will likely be higher than 90% with many speculating that a three-digit inflation rate is likely if the government of President Alberto Fernández fails to put the brakes on rising prices.
The price increases have hit food products particularly hard, worsening the poverty rate that already affects around 40 percent of the population of around 47 million.
Soledad Bustos, 31, sets up shop in the Villa Fiorito fair every afternoon while one of her children is in school and another is under the care of her sister.
Bustos offers jeans, leather boots, sneakers and shirts that she either took out of her own closet or bought through Facebook. In exchange she asks for powdered milk, which has become inaccessible.
“I can’t get to the end of the month, the money isn’t enough,” Bustos, a single mom, said.
Bustos is unemployed and says she receives around 36,000 pesos ($255) per month from the state, which is not enough to feed her family.
“I can’t survive with the welfare. Besides food I also have to buy the things for the kids’ school and medicine. I have no choice but to come here to be able to get a little more,” Bustos said.
These types of bartering fairs started spreading in Argentina after the economy collapsed in 2001 during the biggest economic crisis in its modern history. But they have reemerged in recent years amid a galloping inflation rate that has been stuck in double digits for years.
“This is living hand-to-mouth,” said María Inés Pereyra, 48, the coordinator of the fair that runs Mondays through Saturdays. “Whatever they obtain today they take it straight to the dining table.”
For safety reasons, only women can participate in bartering and most of the exchanges had already been previously arranged via Facebook or WhatsApp.
Although there is no set value for the used merchandise, Pereyra set a maximum price of 300 pesos ($2) for each item of clothing.
As an example, she pointed to a pair of leather sneakers that could be traded for a packet of sugar, cooking oil, flour and a local tea infusion.
Fernández’s administration has blamed the high inflation rate in July on a currency crisis caused by “speculative movements that tried to generate a crisis of uncertainty and push a devaluation,” Gabriela Cerruti, the government’s spokeswoman, said Thursday before the inflation rate was released.
The acceleration of the country’s already high inflation rate comes shortly after the government had three economy ministers within one month amid uncertainty that led the local currency to depreciate sharply in the financial market.
Analysts, and even members of Fernández’s administration, expect the August inflation rate to be similar to July in part due to increases in the price of public transport and energy.
In Villa Fiorito, Bustos says she and her fellow barterers are only focused on “surviving.”

ExxonMobil earned nearly $56 billion in profit in 2022, setting an annual record not just for itself but for any U.S. or European oil giant.
Buoyed by high oil prices, rival Chevron also clocked $35 billion in profits for the year, despite a disappointing fourth quarter.
Energy companies have been reporting blockbuster profits since last year, after Russia's invasion of Ukraine sent oil prices sharply higher.
"Of course, our results clearly benefited from a favorable market," CEO Darren Woods told analysts, nodding to high crude prices for much of 2022.
But he also gave his company credit for being able to take advantage of those prices. "We leaned in when others leaned out," he said.
'More money than God'
The high profits have also revived perennial conversations about how much profit is too much profit for an oil company — especially as urgency over the need to slow climate change is mounting around the world.
Exxon's blockbuster earnings, announced Monday, will likely lead to more political pressure from the White House. Last year President Biden called out Exxon for making "more money than God."
The White House and Democrats accuse oil companies of hoarding their profits to enrich shareholders, including executives and employees, instead of investing the money in more production to ease prices at the gas pump.
Last year, between dividends and share buybacks, Exxon returned $30 billion to shareholders, while Chevron paid out more than $22 billion. Exxon plans to hold production flat in 2023, while Chevron plans to increase production by 0 to 3%.
Monster profits are back
If you do the math, Exxon made some $6.3 million in profit every hour last year — more than $100,000 every minute. That puts Exxon up with the Apples and the Googles of the world, with the kind of extraordinary profits most companies could never dream of earning.
Or rather, it puts Exxon back up in that rarefied territory. Exxon used to be the largest company in the world, reliably clocking enormous profits.
In 2020, when the pandemic triggered a crash in oil prices, energy companies took huge losses. Exxon recorded an annual loss of $22 billion, its first loss in decades. It was, humiliatingly, dropped from the Dow Jones.
A tiny upstart investor group called Engine No. 1 challenged Exxon's management, accusing the company of not moving fast enough to adjust to a world preparing to reduce its use of oil.
In this David vs. Goliath showdown, David won the battle, with Engine No. 1's nominees replacing three Exxon board members. But Goliath isn't going anywhere.
Profits prompt scrutiny, criticism
Whenever oil companies are thriving, suspicions that they are fundamentally profiteering are not far behind.
Those accusations have become especially charged because Russia's invasion of Ukraine were central to the drive-up in crude oil prices last year. Europe has imposed windfall taxes on energy companies, clawing back 33% of "surplus profits" from oil and gas companies to redistribute to households.
Exxon has sued to block that tax, which it estimates would cost around $1.8 billion for 2022.
Meanwhile, in the U.S., California is considering a similar windfall tax. President Biden has threatened oil companies with a "higher tax on their excess profits" and other restrictions if they don't invest their windfall earnings in more production. But it's unclear whether the administration can follow through on such a threat.
On Tuesday, the White House issued a statement excoriating oil companies for "choosing to plow those profits into padding the pockets of executives and shareholders."
Investors, meanwhile, aren't complaining. They continue to pressure companies to return more profits to investors and spend relatively less of it on drilling.
"Lower-carbon" ambitions
Both Exxon and Chevron emphasized their carbon footprints in their earnings calls, a major shift from the not-so-distant past, when oil companies uniformly denied, minimized or ignored climate change when talking to investors.
But their responses to climate change focus on reducing the emissions from oil wells and pipelines, or making investments in "lower-carbon" technologies like hydrogen and carbon capture — not on a rapid transition away from fossil fuels, as climate advocates say is essential.
