PINKHAM NOTCH, N.H. (AP) — A pair of Colorado residents repeated as winners of the 61st annual Mount Washington Road Race on Saturday, which had to be cut in half because of the treacherous weather conditions at the summit of New England's highest peak.
Joseph Gray, 38, of Colorado Springs, topped the men's field for the sixth time in 27 minutes, 33 seconds, on the 3.8-mile (6.1-kilometer) course from the base of the mountain to the halfway point of the Mount Washington Auto Road.
Kim Dobson, 38, of Eagle, Colorado, topped the woman's field for a record seventh time, finishing in 31:59.
The race is normally 7.6 miles (12.2 kilometers).
The temperature at the summit of the New Hampshire mountain was in the 20s, with 75 to 85 mph sustained winds, race spokesperson Randy Zucco said. Even at the start of the race, it was no picnic — with drizzle, high winds and temperatures in the 50s that dropped to the low 30s at the finish line, he said.
Amber Ferreira, 40, of Concord, New Hampshire, was second in the women's field in 34:32, while Kim Nadeau, 42, of Leverett, Massachusetts was third in 35:26.
Everett Hackett, 32, of Hartford, Connecticut, placed second in the men's race in 28:50, while Eric Blake, 43, of West Hartford, Connecticut was third in 29:12.
There were more than 980 finishers this year.
The last time the race had to be cut was in 2002, Zucco said.
The race raises funds for the dental division of Coos County Family Health Services to provide dental care for residents of rural northern New Hampshire.

COLUMBUS, Ga. (AP) — A Georgia teacher is free on bond after her arrest for allegedly sexually assaulting a student.
Columbus Police, in a news release, said Kendrea Hardison was arrested Thursday on two counts of sexual assault by a person with supervisory or disciplinary authority. She was later released after posting a $5,000 bond for each charge, Muscogee County Jail records showed.
Hardison is listed as a special education teacher at Jordan Vocational High School on the Muscogee County School District's website.
An investigation began April 11 after the school district reported the allegations to police, news outlets reported. Further details were not released.
At a preliminary hearing Friday, Hardison pleaded not guilty to the charges. It was unknown if she has an attorney who could speak on her behalf.

OMAHA, Neb. (AP) — Three people are expected to recover after being shot in the parking lot of a bar in Omaha.
Police say officers were called just before 1 a.m. Saturday to Gate 10 Bar on 10th Street. A vehicle reportedly involved in the shooting was leaving the area, prompting a police pursuit.
Once the vehicle was stopped, police say two shooting victims were found inside of it. The men, ages 27 and 31, were taken to University of Nebraska Medical Center with what police describe as non-life threatening gunshot wounds.
A third victim, a 28-year-old man, later arrived at the hospital with a gunshot injury also not believed to be life-threatening. That man said he also had been at Gate 10 Bar.
No arrests have been made and an investigation continues.

MONTREAL (AP) — Pierre Gasly is “100% confirmed” to return to AlphaTauri next season, and teams believe Oscar Piastri is ready for a promotion into a Formula One seat.
But Williams expects its lineup to remain unchanged through the end of the year — great news, if true, for Nicholas Latifi — and McLaren boss Zak Brown said his relationship with embattled driver Daniel Ricciardo has never been better.
All that was revealed Saturday at the Canadian Grand Prix, the ninth event on this year's calendar and a solid six weeks before F1's “silly season” of driver movement is expected to hit full swing.
Speculation has swirled since last month when Brown publicly put Ricciardo on notice to pick up his performance with McLaren. Although the Australian has a contract that runs through 2023, Brown revealed there are “mechanisms" for McLaren to end the deal early.
But as the series returned to Canada for the first time since 2019, Toronto native Latifi has admitted that his seat with Williams is not secure. There have been suggestions Latifi could be replaced after Sunday's race by Piastri, the reigning F2 champion. Piastri has a one-year deal with Alpine as the reserve and test driver, but the team had promised to help him find an F1 seat for 2023.
Alpine principal Otmar Szafnauer said “yes” when asked if Piastri was ready for the promotion, but said he had no information beyond the speculation swirling through the paddock that the Australian was set to replace Latifi.
And Jost Capito, head of Williams, seemed to dismiss the notion Latifi will be out of work following Sunday's race at Circuit Gilles Villeneuve. Capito acknowledged Piastri was “ready to go into Formula One” and was “one on the list for sure” of any team seeking a driver.
But could Piastri be in a Williams seat as soon as the British Grand Prix? Capito said both Alex Albon and Latifi are under contract.
“We are focused on this year, we have a driver lineup for this year,” Capito said. “We don't have any other plans. Both have a contract for the season and that's what our plan is, to fulfill that.”
GASLY LOCKED DOWN
The situation is not at all murky for Gasly at AlphaTauri, as team principal Franz Tost was firm in that the Frenchman will be back in 2023.
“This is 100% confirmed,” Tost said Saturday.
Gasly himself had not seemed so sure just one week ago in Baku, as the 26-year-old stressed he wants to race for wins and not just points. That led to speculation Gasly could try to break free from Red Bull, which has backed him for most of his career but does not have an open F1 seat and just extended the contract of Sergio Perez.
Tost silenced the speculation.
“He will be a driver of us, of Scuderia AlphaTauri, in 2023,” Tost said.
But when asked how Gasly was convinced to stay, the team boss was curt: “He has a valid contract, there’s nothing more to say.”
RICCIARDO'S FUTURE
Ricciardo has been asked about his future in both F1 and with McLaren nearly every week since Brown publicly assessed the Australian's time with the team as underwhelming.
Ricciardo says his contract is clear through 2023, but Brown has indicated there are clauses that could create an early exit. Asked how their relationship has been in the month since Brown was publicly critical of the popular driver, Brown said “the relationship with Daniel has never been better” and the two recently had dinner together in London.
Brown also said McLaren bears some responsibility for Ricciardo's struggles. McLaren is not presently giving Ricciardo or Lando Norris cars to compete with Red Bull and Ferrari.
“We need to produce a faster race car,” Brown said. “Last year in Monza when we had a strong race car we could see what Daniel and Lando could do with it. We need to focus on giving our drivers better race cars and I think Daniel is highly motivated and he has all of our support. We're having fun and have a great relationship with him and hopefully we'll have a good weekend.”

Elon Musk has met with the employees of Twitter, the firm that he decided to buy for a millionaire amount, to tell them that his plan is to make it similar to WeChat and TikTok to attract users. And it is that Musk’s idea is reach 1 billion users worldwide considerably increasing the current amount.
When employees at their meeting asked the tycoon how Twitter could grow its user base and increase engagement (i.e. make users really active), Musk explained that the app should offer more utility and making sure “people are highly entertained and informed.”
also did a comparison with WeChat, a Chinese application that combines social networks with payment tools, games and even car trips and that was banned in the United States. “There is no WeChat equivalent outside of China,” Musk said. “If we can recreate that with Twitter, we’re going to be very successful.”
HOW TO DOWNLOAD VIDEOS from Instagram, Facebook, Twitter or TikTok on your MOBILE
Information and fun
“I think Twitter can be much better at informing people about serious topics“was another of Musk’s phrases in the online meeting with the employees of the social networking tool. And he wants this information platform to attract attention with entertaining options. In all this he praised the TikTok algorithm for not being “boring “.
In five or 10 years, Musk wants Twitter to be essential in people’s daily lives when it comes to staying informed and understand the information in depth. He still thinks that one option to monetize the platform is for people to pay to be verified and he also believes that the label of irony could be added when a publication is this and not lead to the confusion of certain users.
Furthermore, as expected, he repeated the importance it has for him to end the bots the Twitter.

The Mexican Johan Vasquez was officially announced as a new player of the Cremonese Sports Unionso the future of your professional career will remain in the A league from Italy. The winger will arrive at his new team on a one-year loan with the option of being bought from Genoa.
“Hello Mexican friends, this year you have a new team in Serie A. Support us”, the 23-year-old footballer is heard saying in a presentation video from the changing rooms of his new club, which was founded in 1903, is based in the city of Cremona and plays its home games at the Giovanni Zini Stadium .
After a first year in European football, Vásquez and the Genoese team were unable to stay in the Italian first division in the 2021-22 season that has just ended. The team finished in the nineteenth position of the table and consequently was descended to Serie B, an inferior category. Case contrary to the Cremonese.
“US Cremonese communicates que ha temporarily acquired with the right to purchase to the Genoa CFC the right of the sports performances of the soccer player Johan Felipe Vásquez Ibarra ”, reads the institutional statement. The new club of the soccer player born in Sonora achieved promotion from the second division by achieving the sub-leadership of the classification having garnered 69 points thanks to his 20 wins, nine draws and nine losses, only two units behind Lecce.
Johan was signed by the Genoese team after the soccer player’s participation in the Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games (which took place in the summer of 2021) where the Mexican National Team managed to win the bronze medal by beating Japan. The side was one of the best players of the tricolor team in the tournament, which earned him to make the “leap” to the football of the old continent.
Football player came from the Pumas de la Universidad in Liga MX. In Europe, Vásquez made his debut on matchday 8 against Sassuolo and managed to do the gol of the tie (the only one in his time at the institution). With the Genoa jersey, he played a total of 29 games (27 in the Serie A and 2 in the Italian Cup) in what were almost 2,500 minutes on the pitch.
During the season, the club always remained at the bottom of the table, so the prospect of possible relegation was a constant scenario. So it was. With just four wins in the year, 16 draws and 18 losses, the club finished in penultimate position with 28 points. They were only surpassed as the worst team by Venezia FC who finished at the bottom of the table. Cagliari was the third and last relegated in the championship.
“I say goodbye to Genoa, a club that gave me the opportunity to fulfill my european dream, a historic team and a huge crowd. Thanks to all my colleagues, workers and club leaders, I wish you the best today and always. Thanks for everything, Genoa! ”, Wrote the footballer on his Instagram account just a day before the announcement of his transfer.

The others who said present were the coach Xavi Hernandez y Cesc Fabregas They also approached the farm where the celebration took place.
Precisely, Roccuzzo herself together with Balbi and Daniella Semanpartner of Fábregas, took advantage of the same photo capture format and posed for the occasion.
The featured news was the absence, with notice, of Gerard Piqué. The Catalan defender, who has spent so many years with Jordi Alba in the culé team, did not attend the wedding in the midst of his separation from the singer Shakira, which included rumors of infidelity on the part of the player and also a businessman.
The place chosen by the bride and groom to get married was the Treasury of Oran, a farm located in the town of Utrera. Built in the 17th century, it has all the details to carry out a wedding and the after party.

The New York Mets (43-23) officially hit a high-water mark for their season last night. The offense exploded with a seven-run sixth inning to defeat the Miami Marlins (28-34) 10-4 to improve to a season-high 20 games above .500. The Mets will look to extend their latest winning streak to three games as they continue their series with the Marlins this afternoon. First pitch for today’s game is scheduled for 4:10 p.m. at Citi Field.
Right-hander Taijuan Walker (4-2, 3.08 ERA) is set to take the mound for the Mets tonight. Walker earned his fourth win of the season on Sunday, allowing one run in six innings of work to defeat the Los Angeles Angels in Anaheim. The Marlins will counter with lefty Braxton Garrett (1-1, 4.00 ERA). Garrett earned his first win of the year last Saturday, allowing one unearned run in 5.2 innings to defeat the Houston Astros.

Pre-Game Notes:
-
Walker is 0-2 with a 4.61 ERA in five appearances, including four starts, against the Mets.
Garrett faced the Mets once last season, tossing five shutout innings against them in Miami on August 5, but was not a factor in the decision of a game Miami went on to win 4-2.
Eduardo Escobar is back in the lineup after missing the past two games with dizziness. He will start at third base and bat seventh.
Jazz Chisholm (2 for 5, 2 2B, RBI) and Bryan De La Cruz (4 for 8, 3 RBI) have done well against Walker in the past.

Free UFC Picks | Best UFC Bets For Calvin Kattar vs Josh Emmett
Josh Emmett makes his second appearance in the UFC octagon on Saturday in the last seven months, after more than a year and a half away from the cage due to injury. Emmett had a solid showing in a unanimous decision win over Dan Ige back at UFC 269 in December. With the win, Emmett puts himself in this position against rising contender Calvin Kattar, who has solidified himself as one of the best men’s featherweights in the world and currently sits at number four in the UFC rankings.
While Kattar deserves to be the betting favorite in this match-up, Josh Emmett has a far greater chance at pulling off the outright upset in this bout, which makes him an auto-bet in this position. Calvin Kattar had an incredibly bounce-back performance against Giga Chikadze back in January, which was almost a year to the day since taking a hellacious beating against Max Holloway back in January of 2021. Kattar is getting the benefit of recency bias, and while he has already staked his claim at the top of the list in the featherweight division, the current betting odds are not a true reflection of the skill set that Josh Emmett holds, and his ability to win this fight.
Josh Emmett is a solid stand-up fighter, with six knockout wins in his MMA career, with three of them coming in the UFC. However, the biggest threat to Calvin Kattar in this match-up is the wrestling and jiu-jitsu skills that Emmett holds, which could be a major factor should this fight end up on the mat.
At the current betting price of almost 2-1 odds, Josh Emmett is the best bet for Saturday’s UFC Fight Night in Austin, Texas.

Free UFC Picks | Best UFC Bets For Calvin Kattar vs Josh Emmett
Josh Emmett makes just his second appearance in the last two years at UFC on ESPN 37 on Saturday night in Austin, Texas. Emmett returned from a long stint of hiatus due to injury in December, defeating Dan Ige by way of a unanimous decision at UFC 269. The win against Ige set him on the fast track to the top of the UFC men’s featherweight rankings, as the 37-year-old is looking to crack the top-5 of the division with a win over Calin Kattar on Saturday.
Kattar looked immensely improved in his flawless performance against Giga Chikadze back in January but is just one fight removed from taking a traumatic beating against Max Holloway in early 2021 at UFC on ABC 1.
While Kattar should most definitely be the betting favorite in this match-up, the chances of Emmett pulling off the upset are far greater than what the betting odds are indicating, which makes Josh Emmett an auto-bet in this position.

UFC Stats — Calvin Kattar vs Josh Emmett Stats
Below, we’ll break down UFC stats for each fighter.
Calvin Kattar UFC Breakdown
Calvin Kattar comes into Saturday night’s main event having fought in three straight five-round main events that have gone the distance. Kattar started his resurgence up the UFC men’s featherweight rankings with a solid stoppage win over Jeremy Stephens at UFC 249 in Jacksonville in May of 2020 and followed that up with a dominant decision win over Dan Ige just a few months later on UFC Fight Island.
Kattar started his 2021 by taking a horrific five-round beating against Max Holloway, a bout that saw Kattar take immense physical trauma as Holloway set a UFC record for significant strikes landed in a five-round fight, and in a single round. Kattar took the loss in stride and managed to bounce back in a big way with his own five-round brutalizing over Giga Chikadze back in January of this year.
Josh Emmett UFC Breakdown
Emmett comes into Saturday night with a four-fight win streak taking names like Michael Johnson, Mirsad Bektic, Shane Burgos, and Dan Ige. His last loss dates back to Feb 2018 by Jeremy Stephens.
Since then Emmett has established himself as one of the most explosive fighters in the featherweight division.
Emmett circles from the outside looking at creative angles of approach. Whether he’s feinting heavily or shuffling his way into range with a right hand or switching to southpaw to get off his kicks, there’s power in everything he throws.
A former NAIA collegiate wrestler, Emmet will have a slight edge when it comes to taking downs. While his best work is on his feet, he has an arsenal of techniques he can exercise.

Free UFC Picks | Best UFC Bets For Calvin Kattar vs Josh Emmett
Calvin Kattar comes into Saturday night’s UFC main event coming off of a spectacular performance against Giga Chikadze back in January. Prior to that Kattar was out of action for exactly a year, after taking a hellacious beating against Max Holloway back in January of 2021 at UFC on ABC 1.
While Kattar managed to bounce back with style, the challenges he will face against Josh Emmett on Saturday night are far different than what he faced against both Max Holloway and Giga Chikadze.
Josh Emmett is both an accomplished wrestler and jiu-jitsu grappler, he offers up an element to his game that Calvin Kattar has not really been tested on for quite some time. If this fight ends up on the matt, the grappling edge may go to the 37-year-old Emmett, who will be making just his third UFC appearance in the last two years.
At the current betting price of almost 2-1 odds, Josh Emmett is without a doubt the value side in this match-up. While Calvin Kattar deserves to be the betting favorite, the chances of Emmett pulling off the upset are far greater than what the current odds are indicating, which makes Josh Emmett an auto-play in this position.
Bet on Josh Emmett to defeat Calvin Kattar at UFC on ESPN 37 now.

U.S. health advisers on Saturday recommended COVID-19 vaccines for infants, toddlers and preschoolers — the last group without the shots.
The advisers to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention unanimously decided that coronavirus vaccines should be opened to children as young as 6 months. The final signoff was expected later in the day from CDC Director Dr. Rochelle Walensky.
While the Food and Drug Administration OKs vaccines, it’s the CDC that decides who should get them.
The government has been gearing up for the start of the shots early next week, with millions of doses ordered for distribution to doctors, hospitals and community health clinics around the country.
Roughly 18 million kids will be eligible, but it remains to be seen how many will ultimately get the vaccines. Less than a third of children ages 5 to 11 have done so since vaccination opened up to them last November.
What kinds are available?
Two brands — Pfizer and Moderna — got the green light Friday from the FDA. The vaccines use the same technology but are being offered at different dose sizes and number of shots for the youngest kids.
Pfizer’s vaccine is for 6 months through 4 years. The dose is one-tenth of the adult dose, and three shots are needed. The first two are given three weeks apart, and the last at least two months later.
Moderna’s is two shots, each a quarter of its adult dose, given about four weeks apart for kids 6 months through 5. The FDA also approved a third dose, at least a month after the second shot, for kids with immune conditions that make them more vulnerable to serious illness.
How well do they work?
In studies, vaccinated youngsters developed levels of virus-fighting antibodies as strong as young adults, suggesting that the kid-size doses protect against coronavirus infections.
However, exactly how well they work is hard to pin down, especially when it comes to the Pfizer vaccine.
Two doses of Moderna appeared to be only about 40% effective at preventing milder infections at a time when the omicron variant was causing most COVID-19 illnesses. Pfizer presented study information suggesting the company saw 80% with its three shots. But the Pfizer data was so limited — and based on such a small number of cases — that experts and federal officials say they don’t feel there is a reliable estimate yet.
Should my little one be vaccinated?
Yes, according to the CDC’s advisers. While COVID-19 has been the most dangerous for older adults, younger people, including children, can also get very sick.
Hospitalizations surged during the omicron wave. Since the start of the pandemic, about 480 children under age 5 are counted among the nation’s more than 1 million COVID-19 deaths, federal data show.
“It is worth vaccinating, even though the number of deaths are relatively rare, because these deaths are preventable through vaccination,” said Dr. Matthew Daley, a Kaiser Permanente Colorado researcher who sits on the advisory committee.
Which vaccine should my child get?
Either one, says Dr. Peter Marks, the FDA’s vaccine chief.
“Whatever vaccine your health care provider, pediatrician has, that’s what I would give my child,’’ Marks said Friday.
The doses haven’t been tested against each other, so experts say there’s no way to tell if one is better.
One consideration: It takes roughly three months to complete the Pfizer three-shot series, but just one month for Moderna’s two shots. So families eager to get children protected quickly might want Moderna.
Who’s giving the shots?
Pediatricians, other primary care physicians and children’s hospitals are planning to provide the vaccines. Limited drugstores will offer them for at least some of the under-5 group.
U.S. officials expect most shots to take place at pediatricians’ offices. Many parents may be more comfortable getting the vaccine for their kids at their regular doctor, White House COVID-19 coordinator Dr. Ashish Jha said. He predicted the pace of vaccination to be far slower than it was for older populations.
“We’re going see vaccinations ramp up over weeks and even potentially over a couple of months,” Jha said.
Can children get other vaccines at the same time?
It’s common for little kids to get more than one vaccine during a doctor’s visit.
In studies of the Moderna and Pfizer shots in infants and toddlers, other vaccinations were not given at the same time so there is no data on potential side effects when that happens.
But problems have not been identified in older children or adults when COVID-19 shots and other vaccinations were given together, and the CDC is advising that it’s safe for younger children as well.
What if my child recently had COVID?
About three-quarters of children of all ages are estimated to have been infected at some point. For older ages, the CDC has recommended vaccination anyway to lower the chances of reinfection.
Experts have noted re-infections among previously infected people and say the highest levels of protection occur in those who were both vaccinated and previously infected.
The CDC has said people may consider waiting about three months after an infection to be vaccinated.

VIRGINIA BEACH — From abstract to realism, the Oceanfront’s inaugural Unity in the Community art walk was all about spreading inspiration and representation, according to artists working to create Juneteenth-inspired murals for the weekend festival.
Chesapeake native Desiree Donovan, 20, leaned in to her canvas as she painted braids onto a young Black girl, who was having her hair done by her mother. The dark skin tones and hair contrasted against the teal blue background, drawing plenty of looks.
“That is so awesome,” shouted a woman as she jogged by.
Donovan, painting her first mural, said she wanted the piece to be an impactful representation of Black beauty.
“I find Black hair very beautiful,” she said. “It is a way to connect people of color. I always think of my mom and my auntie doing my hair. I hope this will connect with people who remember their mom doing their hair. And I think it gets a conversation going.”
Donovan said she hopes people will see Virginia Beach’s Juneteenth festival as an opportunity to learn the history of African Americans.
“I think it is very important to be able to ask questions without being judged for what you don’t know,” she said. “I hope people will use Juneteenth as a time for open discussion. This should be an open, informative weekend.”
The Virginia African American Cultural Center selected 21 artists from around the state to create 30 murals along the boardwalk for the city’s Juneteenth celebration. Of the 21, 14 are from diverse cultural backgrounds, one is deaf and six are white.
Over the past three days, they have gathered to create the “Unity in the Community” art walk, which stretches more than a mile between 15th and 31st streets. The murals have been painted on custom designed wooden frames attached to the boardwalk railing, making the artwork visible to anyone on the boardwalk or the beach.
“We hope this art project creates a space where diverse cultural viewpoints are shared and appreciated by one united community,” said Dr. Amelia Ross-Hammond, founder and chairman of VAACC.
Kate Pittman, Director of the Vibe Creative District who worked with VAACC to bring the Virginia Beach Juneteenth festival to life, said organizers specifically sought local talent.
“There is heavy emphasis on local talent to celebrate community building and unity in our community,” Pittman said.
Around 21st street, James L. Thornhill was set up beachside, working to paint “a little king,” — the Black child sat reading, his crown tilted as he looked at his book. The inspiration, Thornhill said, was reading and education and inspiring youth to be great.
“A community that reads together, learns together. We travel the world through books,” Thornhill said. “He has his crown on his head, because he is being inspired and encouraged to be a little king and to grow up to be great in the world. I hope other kids will see it and will know that they are also little kings and queens.”
Also in Thornhill’s painting is a vibrant butterfly and a globe, which he used to symbolize the main themes of the art walk.
Weekend Scoop
“The butterfly is about metamorphosis and transformation. We are all changing and growing. And the globe is about bridging the gap between countries and people and reminding each other that we are all human,” Thornhill sad.
Near the hub of the festival were two Richmond-based artists, busy painting as activity buzzed around them. A few beach-goers stopped to gaze at their creations, commenting on the colors.
“It is all about spreading the love,” said Nicole Gomez, her vibrant blue mural with red and pink hearts positioned against the backdrop of the ocean. “We really need a little more love today.”
On the other side of Gomez, Nico Cathcart balanced on a step ladder as she delicately painted glasses on a Black man, beaming as he was embraced by a woman and child. Cathcart, who is deaf, said her mural was about connecting the people with the arts across race, backgrounds and generations.
“I hope people come away from it with a little bit of joy, community, and feeling of mutual support,” Cathcart said.
The murals will be on display at Oceanfront for the next 30-60 days, depending on weather conditions.

FREDERICKSBURG, Va. — A genealogist in Fredericksburg has released the names of the families she will focus on for a research project identifying the oldest Black families in the city.
Paula Royster’s “Reclaiming Our Time” project was launched in March and she recently announced the families who will receive extensive DNA testing and additional research support on their ancestry.
The DNA testing will take place the morning of June 25.
A male member of those families will undergo testing to determine if their ancestors hail from one of the 12 African nations that had slave ships arrive at the Fredericksburg dock centuries ago.
“I’m extremely proud that this forward-thinking research project is happening right here in America’s most historic city,” Royster said.
Royster observed census records from 1810–60 and made a list of every Black family. She then determined who had been there the longest by who appeared first. Only free Blacks were counted on the census, Royster noted.
Royster encourages surviving members of the families to contact her to set up testing and get the research started.
The families are: Beverly (Poles), descendants of Betsy Lewis (Jackson), descendants of Maria Akers (Minor), Carter (Walker), Liverpool (Mundowney), Simmons (Hailstalk, Evans, Grant), Noel (Day, Hamm), descendants of Henry and Kesiah Lucas, descendants of Chester Fort (Ford, LeFort) and descendants of Amini Dab (Booker, Jackson).
Royster is the founder and CEO of the Center for African-American Genealogical Research. She’s also a published author who teaches coursework in humanities and social sciences.
Fredericksburg City Council donated $5,000 to her project. She’s also received donations from churches and private citizens. She’s hopeful the final outcome is that the city will support an African-American Cultural Heritage Center, where Black people can conduct research on their lineage, watch documentaries on the places they originated and cultivate a community garden.
“The reason why we’ve done this is our history has been hidden, omitted, erased and when we think about telling the story of the history of Fredericksburg, we think it ought to be more inclusive, diverse of all voices,” Royster said. “It’s important to this community to have this story told.”
Royster said the contributions made by enslaved and free Blacks in the city impact current cultural and spiritual norms. She said that it also affects the economy and shapes public policy.
“Reclaiming Our Time seeks to heal the land by learning the names of the family members who built this city—literally,” Royster said. “The really cool thing about this project is that it’s the only one of its kind in the country. Indeed, it’s the only one of its kind in the world. We’ve taken an enormous amount of information, genealogy official records, family stories and DNA and we’ve merged it together to create a new story about the city of Fredericksburg.”

A federal jury on Friday convicted a former Seattle tech worker of several charges related to a massive hack of Capital One bank and other companies in 2019.
Paige Thompson, 36, a former Amazon software engineer who used the online handle “erratic,” obtained the personal information of more than 100 million people — a data breach that prompted Capital One to reach a tentative $190 million settlement with affected customers. The Treasury Department also fined the company $80 million for failing to protect the data.
Following a seven-day trial, the Seattle jury found her guilty of wire fraud, unauthorized access to a protected computer and damaging a protected computer. The jury acquitted her of other charges, including access device fraud and aggravated identity theft.
Thompson’s attorneys argued that she struggled with mental health issues, never intended to profit from the data she obtained, and said in court papers “there is no credible or direct evidence that a single person’s identity was misused.”
Federal prosecutors said she didn’t just steal the data, but also planted software on servers she unlawfully accessed to steal computing power to mine cryptocurrency.
Breaking News
“Far from being an ethical hacker trying to help companies with their computer security, she exploited mistakes to steal valuable data and sought to enrich herself,” Seattle U.S. Attorney Nick Brown said in a news release.
Wire fraud is punishable by up to 20 years in prison, while the other charges can bring a five-year maximum. U.S. District Judge Robert Lasnik is scheduled to sentence Thompson in September.
In interviews with The Associated Press following her arrest, friends and associates described Thompson as a skilled programmer and software architect whose career and behavior — oversharing in chat groups, frequent profanity, expressions of gender-identity distress and emotional ups and downs — mirrored her online handle.
At one point, two former roommates obtained a protection order against her, saying she had been stalking and harassing them.
Thompson joined Amazon in 2015 to work at Amazon Web Services, a division that hosted the Capital One data she accessed. She left that job the next year.
Some friends said they believed the unemployed Thompson — destitute and, by her own account, grappling with serious depression — believed the hack could bring her attention, respect and a new job.
“She wanted data, she wanted money and she wanted to brag,” assistant U.S. attorney Andrew Friedman told the jury, according to the news release.

HOPEWELL, Va. — Four inmates escaped from a federal prison’s satellite camp in Virginia, officials announced Saturday morning.
Inmates Corey Branch, Tavares Lajuane Graham, Lamonte Rashawn Willis and Kareem Allen Shaw were discovered missing from the Federal Correctional Complex Petersburg’s satellite camp in Hopewell, Virginia, around 1:45 a.m., the Federal Bureau of Prisons said in a news release.

Naomi Osaka pulled out of Wimbledon on Saturday, citing a lingering problem with her left Achilles tendon and marking the second consecutive year she’s decided to sit out the grass-court Grand Slam tournament.
The four-time major champion and former No. 1-ranked player posted a photo of herself on a grass court and wrote on Twitter: “my Achilles still isn’t right so I’ll see you next time.”
Osaka has not played an official match since losing in the first round of the French Open to Amanda Anisimova 7-5, 6-4 on May 24. During that match, for which she said she took a painkiller, Osaka tried to stretch her tendon by tugging on the toe of her shoe at changeovers and squatting to flex her lower leg between points.
After that defeat, Osaka said she was leaning toward missing Wimbledon because the professional tennis tours aren’t ranking points awarded — a response to the All England Club’s decision to bar all players from Russia and Belarus over the war in Ukraine.
“I’m not sure why, but I feel like if I play Wimbledon without points, it’s more like an exhibition. I know this isn’t true, right? But my brain just like feels that way. Whenever I think something is like an exhibition, I just can’t go at it 100%,” Osaka said then. “I didn’t even make my decision yet, but I’m leaning more towards not playing, given the current circumstances.”
Eugenie Bouchard, who was the runner-up at the All England Club in 2014, announced Friday on social media that she would not play at Wimbledon because there are no ranking points available. Bouchard is working her way back from surgery on her right shoulder.
Osaka did not play at Wimbledon a year ago as part of a mental health break she took after pulling out of the French Open before her second-round match.
She has not won a match at the All England Club since getting to the third round in 2018. Osaka lost in the first round of Wimbledon in 2019, and the tournament was canceled in 2020 because of the coronavirus pandemic.
All four of Osaka’s Grand Slam titles came on hard courts: at the U.S. Open in 2018 and 2020 and at the Australian Open in 2019 and 2021.
The 24-year-old Osaka has played only 17 matches this season and her ranking fell to No. 43 this week.

WEST POINT — Over 30 firefighters from several localities put out a fire at the WestRock paper mill early Tuesday morning.
The West Point Volunteer Fire Department was first dispatched to a call around 3 a.m. for a fire in the chip plant.
According to West Point Fire Chief Spencer Cheatham, the crew responded and called for more equipment and personnel from both West Point and the New Kent County Fire Department.
Upon inspection, early responders found small fires in a 250-foot-long tunnel that houses the conveyor system. The tunnel, which stands 10 stories high, was burning sawdust and chips and was filled with smoke, Cheatham said.
Although more units arrived and attacked the fire from two locations, the fire intensified and burned the conveyor belt until it broke. The belt was pulled down a floor below to a machinery room.
“The belt continued to burn in that room which intensified the situation and necessitated an aggressive attack in that room,” Cheatham said.
When a second alarm sounded, more units responded from New Kent, as well as Lower King & Queen Volunteer Fire Department, the Walkerton Community Fire Association and King William Fire & EMS.
The West Point Police Department controlled traffic as over 30 firefighters fought the blaze until getting it under control around 6:30 am.
All responders left the mill at 9:45 am after it was deemed safe. A damage estimate wasn’t available.

They were caring, self-centered, devout, and intemperate — a hodgepodge of a group with one thing in common, all sired a U.S. president.
The lives of these disparate men “encompassed the full range of the American experience from inherited affluence to abject destitution and from heartening success to heartrending failure,” according to Harold Gullan, author of “First Fathers.”
Many worked the land, others had a trade, business, profession, served in the military or became ministers. Nearly 50%, at some point in their lives, engaged in a public service such as being a politician, judge, sheriff or magistrate.
Whether remote or fully engaged in their sons’ rearing, most, but not all, first fathers imparted a positive influence upon their offspring that inspired their journey to the White House.
There were seven presidents whose fathers were still alive at the time they assumed the office: J.Q. Adams, Millard Fillmore, Ulysses S. Grant, Warren G. Harding, Calvin Coolidge, John F. Kennedy and George W. Bush. Two, Kennedy and Bush 41, attended their son’s inauguration in Washington; Coolidge’s dad administered the presidential oath to his son at their home in Vermont on the death of Warren Harding in 1923.
Not all interacted with their fathers. Andrew Jackson, Rutherford B. Hayes and Bill Clinton’s dads died before they were born. Others had limited exposure; the fathers of James Garfield, Andrew Johnson and Herbert Hoover passed away when they were very young.
Two of the nation’s initial leaders had contrasting paternal experiences.
Knowledge about the impact Augustine Washington had on the future first president is limited. He died when his famous son was only eleven. According to author Jeff Young in his book “The Fathers of American Presidents,” Augustine is scantly recalled by George and only mentioned “in three of his twenty-thousand surviving letters, memos, and diary entries.” America’s first commander in chief remembered him as a " tall, fair, strong and kind man.”
Unlike Washington, Thomas Jefferson owed a great deal to his father, Peter Jefferson. Although lacking a formal education, he “valued learning and instilled that esteem in his third son, Thomas, sending him to study English at age 5 and Latin at age 12,” writes Doug Wead in “The Raising of a President.”
While he had a credible reputation in public service, Peter was best recognized as a surveyor and map maker. He regaled Thomas with stories of his adventures on surveying trips through the scarcely navigable hinterland. He instilled into his son a love of nature and the outdoors.
On his death, Peter bequeathed to the future president his writing desk, books and most importantly his passion for knowledge.
It’s all in the family for three presidents.
John Quincy Adams’ father, the second U.S. president, raised his eldest son to pursue a life of public service. At age 10, John Q. began his international education on a trip to Europe with his dad. In Paris, the young Adams attended school and lived in a flat with his father and Benjamin Franklin.
As John Adams progressed up the political ladder, his son was frequently by his side. When John Q. was elected president in 1824, his father was offered congratulation by friends for his son’s success; he responded, “No man who ever held the office of president would congratulate a friend on attaining it.”
Paralleling John Q. Adams, 175 years later, George W. Bush also grew up in the shadow of his father’s many public successes that led him to the Oval Office. George H.W. Bush’s career path was the beacon that his oldest son followed from Yale to a successful business and then politics. Bush 41′s strong integrity and prudence were personal traits that his son embraced.
For the 23rd chief executive, Benjamin Harrison, the family heritage at the White House skipped a generation. His grandfather, William Henry Harrison, was the ninth president; he died one month after his inauguration in 1841.
Not every first father had admirable characteristics.
All of Abraham Lincoln’s greatness came from within; Thomas Lincoln provided no inspiration to his son. Although Abe was a good worker and a gentle soul in his youth, Thomas was abusive applying harsh physical punishment when he favored his books over manual labor. The future Great Emancipator didn’t attend his father’s funeral.
Teddy Roosevelt’s paternal influence was the opposite of Lincoln’s.
The senior Theodore Roosevelt’s parenting presence was best expressed by his son: “My father combined strength and courage with gentleness, tenderness and great unselfishness.” He was a man of wealth who taught his offspring the virtue of public service. On a personal level, TR, who was sickly as a child, learned the need for physical strength from his Dad. When president, the former Rough Rider never made any important decision without thinking what position his father would have taken on the issue at hand.
Joseph P. Kennedy Sr. was likely the most ambitious and politically controversial first father. JFK said, “my father was not around much, but whether he was there or not he made his children feel that they were the most important thing in the world to him.” He used his money and power to get his son elected.
Joe Kennedy and George T. Harding II were the only fathers of a president to outlive their sons.
Excessive drinking played a role in the paternal relationship with three recent commanders in chief.
Gerald Ford’s biological father, Leslie King, was an abusive alcoholic to his mother Dorothy. She left King and married Gerald Ford. Later the future president changed his name from Leslie King Jr. to Gerald Ford. Ronald Reagan’s father was often drunk and frequently not present for him while growing up. Bill Clinton’s stepfather was an alcoholic who regularly beat his mother; it stopped when her son stood up to him.
In 1851, Millard Fillmore’s dad, Nathaniel, was the first presidential father to visit the White House while his son was in office. On one occasion, a friend asked the native Vermonter how to raise a son to become president, he quickly replied, “cradle him in a sugar maple sap trough.”
Happy Father’s Day.

GLOUCESTER — No one is sure how a flyer for the Milton Hershey School in Pennsylvania ended up in Trevor Parsell’s mailbox about six years ago.
Trevor, now 17, was living with his grandmother in Page County at the time; they settled in the Gloucester County community of Hayes in 2021. Because of addiction issues in the family, she had full custody of him and his three siblings, and was scraping by as a single guardian by cleaning houses.
MHS is a free, private boarding school in Hershey, Pennsylvania, for boys and girls from lower income families. The program covers not only tuition but housing, medical, dental, psychological, food and clothing expenses for 2,000 students from pre-kindergarten through high school.
Trevor’s best guess is that a sympathetic neighbor wanted to help. “Someone thought I’d be a good fit at the school,” he said. “It was so lucky.”
Trevor applied to MHS, was accepted and started there in seventh grade. Now a rising senior, he is part of the construction/carpentry track in MHS’ Career and Technical Education (CTE) Program. He returns to Virginia for summers and school breaks.
This past year, Trevor and 17 classmates built an entire small house from the ground up, guided by their carpentry teacher. The 24-foot-long Tiny House, with two sleeping lofts and a living room, kitchen and bathroom, will serve as lodging for future guests of the school.
“It was awesome to see it come together,” Trevor said. “I always liked working with my hands and being outside, but I learned that I can do more than I ever thought.”
Famed chocolatier Milton Hershey and his wife, Catherine, founded MHS in 1909 after they couldn’t have children of their own and decided to devote their fortune to youth education. The school is about a seven-hour drive from Gloucester Point.
Students live in more than 180 homes on campus, each housing between eight and 12 kids of the same gender and approximate age. Every home is managed by a married houseparent couple with childcare experience.
During their senior year, students move into apartment-style residences with adult support, focusing on life skills such as budgeting and time management. MHS also helps many graduates with college tuition and transitional support to higher education or full-time careers.
Today, Trevor’s sisters Lilee, 12, and Aubree, 9, attend MHS as well. His grandmother recently submitted an application for her 5-year-old grandnephew Noah — the other kids consider him their brother — who otherwise would start kindergarten at Abingdon Elementary School in Hayes.
“This school immediately changed Trevor’s life,” said Trevor’s grandmother, asking to be identified only by her first name, Bekket. “Not only did it get him away from that cycle of addiction, it completely turned him around with academics. He never would have gotten this far.”
By late elementary school, in fact, Trevor was struggling with reading and losing interest in all of his classes, Bekket adds: “His thought process was, ‘It doesn’t matter.’ He was so defeated. Now it’s, ‘Yeah, I can do this. I can figure it out.’”
CTE students in carpentry and construction classes tackle major projects every year, including building candy houses for Hersheypark. “We have so many resources and opportunities that most high school kids don’t have,” said Joe Fick, Trevor’s carpentry teacher at MHS. “It’s such a blessing.”
For the maroon-and-white Tiny House, students tackled walls, framing, roofing, siding, windows, doors, stairs, railings, crown molding, painting and trim work. They installed flooring, cabinetry, appliances, sinks and a toilet, learning electrical and plumbing skills along the way.
Before going to MHS, Trevor’s only building experience was using hammers, saws and nails to make bike ramps. “There was so much equipment I never even knew existed,” he said.
After graduation, Trevor is considering going to college to study construction management. Another option is a full-time job in construction or carpentry either in Hershey or near his grandmother in Hayes.
Bekket is now a full-time parent to Noah thanks to Trevor’s grandfather figure, a welder in Newport News who came into the family’s life about five years ago. And she is forever grateful for that mysterious mailbox flyer.
“Trevor and the girls love coming home and showing us what all they can do,” she said. “Our story has been so filled with heartbreak for so long, but MHS is taking us a different way.”

WILLIAMSBURG — The Williamsburg Planning Commission on Wednesday turned down a proposal that would allow some houses to operate as short-term rentals.
The unanimous vote came after a number of Williamsburg residents spoke out against a proposed amendment to allow certain city residences the option to operate as short-term whole house rentals with a special use permit.
Such rentals, residents said, could have a harmful impact on residential neighborhoods.
“We feel, like a lot of other people do, that our neighborhoods that we treasure are teetering,” said Richmond Road resident Ruth Kaiser during the public forum. “This [amendment] would, I fear, tip it over and create a town that none of us envisioned when we moved here.”
The applicant, Thomas Patton, who owns and operates the Aldrich House Bed & Breakfast on Capitol Court, was seeking to amend current regulations for short-term rentals.
The proposed amendment suggested changing requirements to allow short-term rentals in non-owner occupied dwellings located along the city’s entrance corridors on lots contiguous to major streets like Capitol Landing Road, Jamestown Road and more. The amendment would have allowed the entire dwelling to be rented with a special use permit as well as permitting weddings, receptions and other special events to be held on properties larger than one acre.
In 2017, the Virginia General Assembly authorized localities to regulate short-term rentals. By definition, short-term rentals include a room or a space that is intended for occupancy for a period of fewer than 30 days. In 2019, the Williamsburg City Council voted to allow short-term rentals in certain areas of the city, provided that the owner was present during the time of the rental and that only one room of an owner-occupied single family detached dwelling was rented at a time.
According to a Planning Department staff report, “current [short-term rental] regulations were established to strike a balance between free enterprise and the preservation of the residential character of the city’s neighborhoods.”
In previous discussions, “city council acknowledged the popularity and convenience of [short-term rentals] but concluded that their potential to adversely impact communities with increased traffic, noise and other nuisances outweighed the benefit,” the report continued.
Another consideration mentioned in the report was the potential impact on the local housing market, which could be potentially negatively affected in terms of housing affordability and availability with short-term rentals potentially increasing housing costs and decreasing the number of permanent accommodations available for renters and homeowners.
“We need, more than anything, long term residents,” said Williamsburg resident David Kranbuehl. “That is the key to our economy, our downtown. ... Frankly I hear nothing positive and everything negative [in the proposal].”
Ahead of the vote, commission members expressed similar concerns about the potential ramifications of the proposal.
“This idea was very carefully evaluated in the last three or four years and I’ve not heard anything today that would make me change the decision that was made back at that time,” said Bill Hamilton, a member of the Planning Commission. “I have concerns about both a slippery slope if we start down this path and also impacts to the neighborhoods where this would be permitted.”

CDC panel recommends COVID-19 vaccines for youngest kids; final decision expected soon
U.S. health advisers on Saturday recommended COVID-19 vaccines for infants, toddlers and preschoolers — the last group without the shots.
The advisers to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention unanimously decided that coronavirus vaccines should be opened to children as young as 6 months. The final signoff was expected later in the day from CDC Director Dr. Rochelle Walensky.
While the Food and Drug Administration OKs vaccines, it's the CDC that decides who should get them.
The government has been gearing up for the start of the shots early next week, with millions of doses ordered for distribution to doctors, hospitals and community health clinics around the country.
Roughly 18 million kids will be eligible, but it remains to be seen how many will ultimately get the vaccines. Less than a third of children ages 5 to 11 have done so since vaccination opened up to them last November.
Here are some things to know:
What kinds are available?
Two brands — Pfizer and Moderna — got the green light Friday from the FDA. The vaccines use the same technology but are being offered at different dose sizes and number of shots for the youngest kids.
Pfizer’s vaccine is for 6 months through 4 years. The dose is one-tenth of the adult dose, and three shots are needed. The first two are given three weeks apart, and the last at least two months later.
Moderna’s is two shots, each a quarter of its adult dose, given about four weeks apart for kids 6 months through 5. The FDA also approved a third dose, at least a month after the second shot, for kids with immune conditions that make them more vulnerable to serious illness.
Video below: FDA authorizes 1st COVID-19 shots for kids under 5
How well do they work?
In studies, vaccinated youngsters developed levels of virus-fighting antibodies as strong as young adults, suggesting that the kid-size doses protect against coronavirus infections.
However, exactly how well they work is hard to pin down, especially when it comes to the Pfizer vaccine.
Two doses of Moderna appeared to be only about 40% effective at preventing milder infections at a time when the omicron variant was causing most COVID-19 illnesses. Pfizer presented study information suggesting the company saw 80% with its three shots. But the Pfizer data was so limited — and based on such a small number of cases — that experts and federal officials say they don’t feel there is a reliable estimate yet.
Should my little one be vaccinated?
Yes, according to the CDC’s advisers. While COVID-19 has been the most dangerous for older adults, younger people, including children, can also get very sick.
Hospitalizations surged during the omicron wave. Since the start of the pandemic, about 480 children under age 5 are counted among the nation’s more than 1 million COVID-19 deaths, federal data show.
“It is worth vaccinating, even though the number of deaths are relatively rare, because these deaths are preventable through vaccination,” said Dr. Matthew Daley, a Kaiser Permanente Colorado researcher who sits on the advisory committee.
Which vaccine should my child get?
Either one, says Dr. Peter Marks, the FDA's vaccine chief.
“Whatever vaccine your health care provider, pediatrician has, that’s what I would give my child,’’ Marks said Friday.
The doses haven't been tested against each other, so experts say there’s no way to tell if one is better.
One consideration: It takes roughly three months to complete the Pfizer three-shot series, but just one month for Moderna's two shots. So families eager to get children protected quickly might want Moderna.
Who's giving the shots?
Pediatricians, other primary care physicians and children’s hospitals are planning to provide the vaccines. Limited drugstores will offer them for at least some of the under-5 group.
U.S. officials expect most shots to take place at pediatricians’ offices. Many parents may be more comfortable getting the vaccine for their kids at their regular doctor, White House COVID-19 coordinator Dr. Ashish Jha said. He predicted the pace of vaccination to be far slower than it was for older populations.
“We’re going see vaccinations ramp up over weeks and even potentially over a couple of months,” Jha said.
Can children get other vaccines at the same time?
It’s common for little kids to get more than one vaccine during a doctor’s visit.
In studies of the Moderna and Pfizer shots in infants and toddlers, other vaccinations were not given at the same time so there is no data on potential side effects when that happens.
But problems have not been identified in older children or adults when COVID-19 shots and other vaccinations were given together, and the CDC is advising that it's safe for younger children as well.
What if my child recently had COVID-19?
About three-quarters of children of all ages are estimated to have been infected at some point. For older ages, the CDC has recommended vaccination anyway to lower the chances of reinfection.
Experts have noted re-infections among previously infected people and say the highest levels of protection occur in those who were both vaccinated and previously infected.
The CDC has said people may consider waiting about three months after an infection to be vaccinated.

WASHINGTON (AP) — U.S. Capitol Police say officers arrested seven unauthorized people in a congressional office building Thursday night and charged them with unlawful entry.
The people identified themselves as being affiliated with CBS' "Late Show with Stephen Colbert," a person familiar with the matter told The Associated Press.
Nine people were reportedly stopped by Capitol Police, including several producers and the man who voices Triumph the Insult Comic Dog, Robert Smigel.
The person could not discuss details of the investigation publicly and spoke on condition of anonymity.
The incident Thursday night followed the third public hearing by the House panel investigating the Jan. 6, 2021, Capitol insurrection.
Police said seven people were found in the Longworth House Office Building after it was closed. They added that the group of individuals had been asked earlier in the day by the agency to leave the building.
CBS told The Hollywood Reporter via a statement that the crew was there to shoot a comedy segment for the late-night show.
The network added that they were authorized to be there.
The USCP statement says the case remains "an active criminal investigation, and may result in additional criminal charges."

As Karnataka declared the results of the second-year pre-university course on Saturday, girls yet again outperformed boys with a pass percentage of 68.72%, as against the latter’s 55.22%. The total pass percentage was 61.88%, with 48.71% of the arts students, 64.97% of the commerce students and 72.53% of the science students passing the examinations.
With a pass percentage of 62.18%, rural parts of the state pipped the urban regions, where 61.78% of the students passed. In 2020, urban parts outperformed rural ones with the pass percentages of 62.60% against 58.99% respectively.
Across government, government-aided, unaided, bifurcated and corporation colleges, a total of 5,99,794 students appeared for the examinations in the arts, commerce and science streams and 4,02,697 of them (67.14%) passed the examinations.
A total of 14, 210 students scored 100 out of 100 in mathematics, followed by 4,868 students who did so in computer science and 3,460 students in accountancy. Only two students scored full marks in English. A total of 91,106 students passed with distinction (85% or above) while 49,301 students scored third-class (below 50%) marks.

Dakshina Kannada topped the district-wise pass percentage list with 88.02%, a slight dip from 90.71% in March 2020. Udupi stood second with 86.38%, a 4% decrease from 90.71% in 2020. Bengaluru South stood fourth (76.24%) and Bengaluru North seventh (72.01%). Chitradurga district scored the lowest pass percentage.
As 683 candidates with locomotor impairment appeared for the examinations, 52.56% of them passed the pre-university course, so did 63.32% of the 409 candidates with visual impairment who took the examinations.
The annual examinations were held from April 22 to May 18 at 1,076 centres, amid the controversy over the hijab ban in classrooms. Education Minister BC Nagesh said the government had no data on the number of students who skipped the examinations because of the headscarf ban.
He, however, said the failed candidates need not wait for revaluation results to apply for supplementary examinations, which are expected to begin from August 1.

NEW YORK — U.S. health advisers on Saturday recommended COVID-19 vaccines for infants, toddlers and preschoolers — the last group without the shots.
The advisers to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention unanimously decided that coronavirus vaccines should be opened to children as young as 6 months. The final signoff was expected later in the day from CDC Director Dr. Rochelle Walensky.
While the Food and Drug Administration OKs vaccines, it's the CDC that decides who should get them.
The government has been gearing up for the start of the shots early next week, with millions of doses ordered for distribution to doctors, hospitals and community health clinics around the country.
Roughly 18 million kids will be eligible, but it remains to be seen how many will ultimately get the vaccines. Less than a third of children ages 5 to 11 have done so since vaccination opened up to them last November.
Here are some things to know:
What kinds are available?
Two brands — Pfizer and Moderna — got the green light Friday from the FDA. The vaccines use the same technology but are being offered at different dose sizes and number of shots for the youngest kids.
Pfizer’s vaccine is for 6 months through 4 years. The dose is one-tenth of the adult dose, and three shots are needed. The first two are given three weeks apart, and the last at least two months later.
Moderna’s is two shots, each a quarter of its adult dose, given about four weeks apart for kids 6 months through 5. The FDA also approved a third dose, at least a month after the second shot, for kids with immune conditions that make them more vulnerable to serious illness.
How well do they work?
In studies, vaccinated youngsters developed levels of virus-fighting antibodies as strong as young adults, suggesting that the kid-size doses protect against coronavirus infections.
However, exactly how well they work is hard to pin down, especially when it comes to the Pfizer vaccine.
Two doses of Moderna appeared to be only about 40% effective at preventing milder infections at a time when the omicron variant was causing most COVID-19 illnesses. Pfizer presented study information suggesting the company saw 80% with its three shots. But the Pfizer data was so limited — and based on such a small number of cases — that experts and federal officials say they don’t feel there is a reliable estimate yet.
Should my little one be vaccinated?
Yes, according to the CDC’s advisers. While COVID-19 has been the most dangerous for older adults, younger people, including children, can also get very sick.
Hospitalizations surged during the omicron wave. Since the start of the pandemic, about 480 children under age 5 are counted among the nation’s more than 1 million COVID-19 deaths, federal data show.
“It is worth vaccinating, even though the number of deaths are relatively rare, because these deaths are preventable through vaccination,” said Dr. Matthew Daley, a Kaiser Permanente Colorado researcher who sits on the advisory committee.
What vaccine should my child get?
Either one, says Dr. Peter Marks, the FDA's vaccine chief.
“Whatever vaccine your health care provider, pediatrician has, that’s what I would give my child,’’ Marks said Friday.
The doses haven't been tested against each other, so experts say there’s no way to tell if one is better.
One consideration: It takes roughly three months to complete the Pfizer three-shot series, but just one month for Moderna's two shots. So families eager to get children protected quickly might want Moderna.
Who's giving the shot?
Pediatricians, other primary care physicians and children’s hospitals are planning to provide the vaccines. Limited drugstores will offer them for at least some of the under-5 group.
U.S. officials expect most shots to take place at pediatricians’ offices. Many parents may be more comfortable getting the vaccine for their kids at their regular doctor, White House COVID-19 coordinator Dr. Ashish Jha said. He predicted the pace of vaccination to be far slower than it was for older populations.
“We’re going see vaccinations ramp up over weeks and even potentially over a couple of months,” Jha said.
Can children get other vaccines at the same time?
It’s common for little kids to get more than one vaccine during a doctor’s visit.
In studies of the Moderna and Pfizer shots in infants and toddlers, other vaccinations were not given at the same time so there is no data on potential side effects when that happens.
But problems have not been identified in older children or adults when COVID-19 shots and other vaccinations were given together, and the CDC is advising that it's safe for younger children as well.
What if my child recently had COVID-19?
About three-quarters of children of all ages are estimated to have been infected at some point. For older ages, the CDC has recommended vaccination anyway to lower the chances of reinfection.
Experts have noted re-infections among previously infected people and say the highest levels of protection occur in those who were both vaccinated and previously infected.
The CDC has said people may consider waiting about three months after an infection to be vaccinated.

17-year old Shwetha Bhairagond from Vijayapura, a student of Indu Independent PU College in Ballari district, along with her classmate, Madivalara Sahana, has jointly topped the Arts stream in the IInd PUC examination in Karnataka. Both the girls scored 594 out of 600.
Notably, the institute in Ballari has produced three other top-10 performers in the Arts category – G Mounesha (593), Kaveri Jaggal (591) and Shantha G (591).
Both Bhairagond and Sahana told indianexpress.com that they aspire to become IAS officers. While Bhairagond wants to encourage girl child education, Sahana wants to act tough against those practising superstitious activities.
“In my village a lot of girls are married off at a very young age. They hardly get exposure to education. I aspire to become an IAS officer to solve this problem and encourage education of the girl child in some of the backward regions in north Karnataka,” said Bhairagond.

Commenting on the competition with Sahana, Bhairagond said, “We have been hostel mates for a brief period. Although we don’t mingle much, I think she is my best competition. Moreover, I have got friends who motivate me to study and ensure I don’t become lethargic during my preparations. I used to study early in the morning between 4am and 5am and it helped me to a large extent.”
Bhairagond said teachers in Indu Independent PU College used comedy, drama and other unconventional methods of teaching. “Going beyond books, lessons related to history are taught in an engaging and comical way. My friends and I dramatize historical events and characters to understand the stories,” she said.
Meanwhile, Sahana, whose parents are wedding photographers, said, “My aim is to crack the civil services. My main focus would be to make north Karnataka free of superstitious activities and also work for the overall development of the region.”
Veerabhadrappa AN, the administrator of the college, said: “The college is not just about exams, but also a place which conducts engaging cultural activities and motivational sessions for students. During motivational sessions, students who failed in the previous year and the rank holders share their experiences with the current batch. This way, students can get an idea on how to prepare and mitigate errors during examinations. This is also the seventh consecutive time that the college has got a state-level rank in the Arts stream.”

CHARLOTTE, N.C. — A curbside to-go customer at Red Robin in north Charlotte says she got more than she ordered when she got home and discovered an edible treat inside her bag.
On Wednesday evening, that customer - who wished not to be identified - said her take-out order included a mystery bar along with a business card.
"I took the salad out of the bag and I noticed this treat at the bottom like a Rice Krispy treat," she said. “It had a marijuana leaf on the card, so we didn’t know if it was infused with marijuana or something else.”
At last check, the contact information on that card including the Twitter account for the product is no longer active. Nobody picks up when the phone number is called.
The customer said after she reported finding the edibles to management at the restaurant in University City, she was told the employee responsible had been sent home and corporate leadership was now investigating.
“They talked to the guy, and he said it was something he didn’t know he could do that it was against their policy," the customer said.
Customers say the biggest worry now is safety.
“My concern is that this is very dangerous for people not knowing what’s in it, how much is in it," she said. "If a child got it they could possibly be harmed really bad.”
The customer said she handed the edible over to the Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Department, which is now investigating. Officers told her they plan to test it to find out what exactly is in it.
WCNC Charlotte reached out directly to Red Robin and CMPD to get additional details about this case, but we are still waiting for a response.

FORT WORTH, Texas — Dozens of TCU med school students got a good surprise this week: Their tuition for the 2022-23 school year will be covered.
An anonymous family donated the tuition money for all 60 students in the TCU School of Medicine's Class of 2024 for this upcoming school year, the university announced in a news release.
“This gift is meaningful beyond words. For the students in this class, it is truly powerful and will have a profound effect on their future,” founding Dean Stuart D. Flynn, M.D. said in a news release. “I am honored and humbled by this tremendous gift to our students that will have a momentous impact on their lives and those they serve in the community.”
This isn't the first major gift for the Class of 2024, which began classes in July 2020. Their second year of tuition was covered by an anonymous couple in a gift announced last year.
This year's anonymous gift came from a family that's supported the medical school in several ways, providing partial scholarships and stipends for student research across all four classes, the university said in a release.
“I am grateful for the phenomenal generosity of this donor family,” TCU Chancellor Victor J. Boschini, Jr. said. “Our students will finish medical school and go on to serve thousands of patients throughout their lives, in our community and well beyond."
The tuition donations have happened for other classes at the school, too, including the inaugural class in July 2019.
TCU said the average medical school student will graduate with more than $250,000 in loan debt.
“When I got into medical school, my parents were so worried about the financial aspect," Hanna Makk, a second-year medical student said in a university release. "But I had to pursue my passion and I’m so grateful. I called my parents and they were so happy. It frees me to be able to pursue whatever specialty I want and to be able to serve the underserved.”

WASHINGTON D.C., DC — U.S. Capitol Police said Friday that officers arrested seven unauthorized people in a congressional office building Thursday night and charged them with unlawful entry.
The people identified themselves as being affiliated with CBS' “Late Show with Stephen Colbert,” a person familiar with the matter told The Associated Press.
Another person familiar with the matter provided the AP with a list of nine people who had been stopped by Capitol Police. They included several producers, along with Robert Smigel, the voice behind Triumph the Insult Comic Dog.
The two people who spoke with the AP could not discuss details of the investigation publicly and spoke on condition of anonymity.
The incident Thursday night followed the third public hearing by the House panel investigating the Jan. 6, 2021, Capitol insurrection.
Capitol Police said they received a call about a disturbance in the Longworth House Office Building around 8:30 p.m. “Responding officers observed seven individuals, unescorted and without Congressional ID, in a sixth-floor hallway,” the agency said in a statement. “The building was closed to visitors, and these individuals were determined to be a part of a group that had been directed by the USCP to leave the building earlier in the day.”
In a statement to The Hollywood Reporter, CBS said the production team was at the Capitol Wednesday and Thursday to record a comedy segment featuring Triumph.
“Their interviews at the Capitol were authorized and pre-arranged through Congressional aides of the members interviewed," the network said. "After leaving the members’ offices on their last interview of the day, the production team stayed to film stand-ups and other final comedy elements in the halls when they were detained by Capitol Police.”
The USCP statement said the case remains “an active criminal investigation, and may result in additional criminal charges.” Capitol Police, departing from standard practice, refused to provide the names of the people who were arrested.

REHOBOTH BEACH, Del — President Joe Biden fell when he tried to get off his bike at the end of a ride Saturday at Cape Henlopen State Park near his beach home in Delaware, but said he wasn't hurt.
“I'm good,” he told reporters after U.S. Secret Service Agents quickly helped him up. “I got my foot caught” in the toe cages.
Biden, 79, and first lady Jill Biden were wrapping up a morning ride when the president decided to pedal over to a crowd of well-wishers standing by the bike trail. Biden, who was wearing a helmet, tumbled when he tried to dismount, apparently falling on his right side and rolling on to his back before being helped up.
The president quickly collected himself and spent several minutes chatting with people who had gathered to watch him bike.
The Bidens are spending a long weekend at their Rehoboth Beach home. They marked their 45th wedding anniversary on Friday.

WASHINGTON — Democrats are going to hold onto the House after November's midterm elections. They will pick up as many as four seats in the Senate, expanding their majority and overcoming internal dissent that has helped stifle their agenda.
As the challenges confronting President Joe Biden intensify, his predictions of a rosy political future for the Democratic Party are growing bolder. The assessments, delivered in speeches, fundraisers and conversations with friends and allies, seem at odds with a country that he acknowledged this past week was “really, really down,” burdened by a pandemic, surging gas prices and spiking inflation.
Biden's hopeful outlook is in line with a sense of optimism that has coursed through his nearly five-decade career and was at the center of his 2020 presidential campaign, which he said was built around restoring the “soul of America.” In a lengthy Oval Office interview with The Associated Press on Thursday, Biden said part of his job as president is to “be confident.”
While presidents often try to emphasize the positive, there is a risk in this moment that Biden contributes to a dissonance between Washington and people across the country who are confronting genuine and growing economic pain.
Few of Biden's closest political advisers are as bullish about the party's prospects as the president. In interviews with a half-dozen people in and close to the White House, there is a broad sense that Democrats will lose control of Congress, and that many of the party's leading candidates in down-ballot races and contests for governor will be defeated in an election Biden himself can do little to help.
The seeming disconnect between Biden's view and the political reality has some in the party worried the White House has not fully grasped just how bad this election year may be for Democrats.
“I don’t expect any president to go out and say, ‘You know what, 'We’re going to lose the next election,’” said Will Marshall, president and founder of the Progressive Policy Institute, which is in regular contact with the White House’s policy team. What might serve Biden well instead, Marshall said, would be “a sober sense of, ’Look, we’re probably in for a rough night in November, and our strategy should be to remind the country what’s at stake.’”
The White House is hardly ignoring the problem.
Jen O'Malley Dillon, Biden's 2020 campaign manager who now serves as one of his deputy chiefs of staff, runs the political team from the West Wing along with Emmy Ruiz, a longtime Texas-based Democratic political consultant.
O'Malley Dillon coordinates strategy among the White House, the Democratic National Committee and an array of outside party groups. Cedric Richmond, a former Louisiana congressman who co-chaired Biden's 2020 campaign and was one of his closest White House advisers, left for a job with the DNC in April.
“We understand that, you cannot govern if you can’t win,” Richmond said in an interview. “We are treating it with that sense of urgency.”
Returning to the White House is veteran strategist Anita Dunn. Biden turned to her during an especially low political moment in February 2020, giving her broad control of his then-cash strapped presidential campaign as it appeared on the brink of collapse after a disastrous fourth-place showing in the Iowa caucus.
But where White House officials last year harbored hopes that voters could be convinced of Biden’s accomplishments and reverse their dismal outlook on the national direction, aides now acknowledge that such an uphill battle is no longer worth fighting. Instead, they have pushed the president to be more open about his own frustrations — particularly on inflation — to show voters that he shares their concerns, and to cast Republicans and their policies as obstacles to addressing these issues.
In public, Biden has betrayed few concerns about his party's fortunes this fall, opting instead for relentlessly positivity.
“I think there are at least four seats that are up for grabs that we could pick up in the Senate,” the president told a recent gathering of donors in Maryland. “And we’re going to keep the House.”
Biden meant Ohio, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin, with potential longer shots in North Carolina or Florida possibly representing No. 4. Aides say the president is simply seeking to fire up his base with such predictions. But one laughed when asked if it was possible that Democrats could pick up four Senate seats.
The party's chances of maintaining House control may be bleaker.
Biden has traveled more since last fall, promoting a $1 trillion public works package that became law in November, including visiting competitive territory in Minnesota, Virginia, Wisconsin, Michigan and New Hampshire. During a trip to Democratic Rep. Cindy Axne’s Iowa swing district, the president declared, “My name is Joe Biden. I work for Congresswoman Axne.”
Bernie Sanders, the 80-year-old Vermont senator who was the last challenger eliminated in 2020, has not ruled running should Biden not seek reelection. That has revived questions about whether Biden, 79, might opt not to run — speculation that has persisted despite the White House political operation gearing up for the midterms and beyond.
The more immediate question of Biden's midterm appeal could be even trickier. He campaigned for Democrat Terry McAuliffe in Virginia last November, after winning the state easily in 2020. McAuliffe lost by 2 percentage points, a potentially bad omen for the 16 governorships Democrats are defending this fall.
“We know there are going to be national headwinds, there always are," Stacey Abrams, the Democratic candidate for governor in Georgia, said recently. But she insisted she would be happy to campaign with Biden or top members of his administration.
But Democrat Beto O'Rourke, running for governor in Texas, told reporters, “I’m not interested in any national politician — anyone outside of Texas — coming into this state to help decide the outcome of this race.”
Biden's overall approval rating hit a new low of 39% last month. Even among his own party, just 33% of respondents said the country is headed in the right direction, down from 49% in April. The president's approval rating among Democrats stood at 73%, falling sharply from last year.

LONDON, UK — The price of bitcoin fell below $20,000 on Saturday for the first time since late 2020, in a fresh sign that the selloff in cryptocurrencies is deepening.
Bitcoin, the most popular cryptocurrency, fell below the psychologically important threshold, dropping by as much as 9% to less than $19,000 and hovering around that mark, according to the cryptocurrency news site CoinDesk.
The last time bitcoin was at that level was in November 2020, when it was on its way up to its all-time high of nearly $69,000, according to CoinDesk. Many in the industry had believed it would not fall under $20,000.
Bitcoin has now lost more than 70% of its value since reaching that peak.
Ethereum, another widely followed cryptocurrency that's been sliding in recent weeks, took a similar tumble on Saturday.
It's the latest sign of turmoil in the cryptocurrency industry amid wider turbulence in financial markets. Investors are selling off riskier assets because central banks are raising interest rates to combat quickening inflation.
The overall market value of cryptocurrency assets has fallen from $3 trillion to below $1 trillion, according to coinmarketcap.com, a company that tracks crypto prices.
A spate of crypto meltdowns has erased tens of billions of dollars of value from the currencies and sparked urgent calls to regulate the freewheeling industry. Last week, bipartisan legislation was introduced in the U.S. Senate to regulate the digital assets. The crypto industry has also upped its lobbying efforts — flooding $20 million into congressional races this year for the first time, according to records and interviews.
Cesare Fracassi, a finance professor at the University of Texas at Austin who leads the school’s Blockchain Initiative, believes Bitcoin's fall under the psychological threshold isn't a big deal. Instead, he said the focus should be on recent news from lending platforms.
Cryptocurrency lending platform Celsius Network said this month that it was pausing all withdrawals and transfers, with no sign of when it would give its 1.7 million customers access to their funds.
“There is a lot of turbulence in the market,” Fracassi said. “And the reason why prices are going down is because there is a lot of concern the sector is overleveraged.”
The cryptocurrency exchange platform Coinbase announced Tuesday that it laid off about 18% of its workforce, with the company's CEO and cofounder Brian Armstrong placing some of the blame on a coming “crypto winter.”
Stablecoin Terra imploded last month, losing tens of billions of dollars in value in a matter of hours.
Crypto had permeated much of popular culture before its recent tumble, with many Super Bowl ads touting the digital assets and celebrities and YouTube personalities routinely promoting it on social media.

OMAHA, Neb. — An anonymous bidder has shelled out a record $19 million for a private lunch with billionaire Warren Buffet at a steakhouse in New York City.
The meal with the Berkshire Hathaway CEO was offered on an eBay auction to benefit the San-Francisco-based charity GLIDE, which helps homeless people and those in poverty. The winner can bring up to seven guests.
Buffett has raised $53 million for GLIDE since the auction began in 2000. The charity earned the philanthropist billionaire's support when his first wife, Susie, introduced him to it after she started volunteering there. She died in 2004.
This year's event will be the first private lunch offered with the 91-year-old billionaire since the previous record-setting bid of $4.5 million by cryptocurrency entrepreneur Justin Sun in 2019. The past two auctions were called off due to COVID-19 concerns and Buffett has said this will be the last.
“It’s been nothing but good,” Buffett said of the charity lunch in a news release. “I’ve met a lot of interesting people from all over the world. The one universal characteristic is that they feel the money is going to be put to very good uses.”
Like the winner this year, some other past winners have chosen to remain anonymous. One past winner, Ted Weschler, received a job offer from Buffett's company after he spent nearly $5.3 million on two auctions in 2010 and 2011. Weschler now works as an investment manager for the Omaha, Nebraska, conglomerate, Berkshire.

NEW YORK — U.S. health advisers on Saturday recommended COVID-19 vaccines for infants, toddlers and preschoolers — the last group without the shots.
The advisers to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention unanimously decided that coronavirus vaccines should be opened to children as young as 6 months. The final signoff was expected later in the day from CDC Director Dr. Rochelle Walensky.
While the Food and Drug Administration OKs vaccines, it's the CDC that decides who should get them.
The government has been gearing up for the start of the shots early next week, with millions of doses ordered for distribution to doctors, hospitals and community health clinics around the country.
Roughly 18 million kids will be eligible, but it remains to be seen how many will ultimately get the vaccines. Less than a third of children ages 5 to 11 have done so since vaccination opened up to them last November.
Here are some things to know:
What kinds are available?
Two brands — Pfizer and Moderna — got the green light Friday from the FDA. The vaccines use the same technology but are being offered at different dose sizes and number of shots for the youngest kids.
Pfizer’s vaccine is for 6 months through 4 years. The dose is one-tenth of the adult dose, and three shots are needed. The first two are given three weeks apart, and the last at least two months later.
Moderna’s is two shots, each a quarter of its adult dose, given about four weeks apart for kids 6 months through 5. The FDA also approved a third dose, at least a month after the second shot, for kids with immune conditions that make them more vulnerable to serious illness.
How well do they work?
In studies, vaccinated youngsters developed levels of virus-fighting antibodies as strong as young adults, suggesting that the kid-size doses protect against coronavirus infections.
However, exactly how well they work is hard to pin down, especially when it comes to the Pfizer vaccine.
Two doses of Moderna appeared to be only about 40% effective at preventing milder infections at a time when the omicron variant was causing most COVID-19 illnesses. Pfizer presented study information suggesting the company saw 80% with its three shots. But the Pfizer data was so limited — and based on such a small number of cases — that experts and federal officials say they don’t feel there is a reliable estimate yet.
Should my little one be vaccinated?
Yes, according to the CDC’s advisers. While COVID-19 has been the most dangerous for older adults, younger people, including children, can also get very sick.
Hospitalizations surged during the omicron wave. Since the start of the pandemic, about 480 children under age 5 are counted among the nation’s more than 1 million COVID-19 deaths, federal data show.
“It is worth vaccinating, even though the number of deaths are relatively rare, because these deaths are preventable through vaccination,” said Dr. Matthew Daley, a Kaiser Permanente Colorado researcher who sits on the advisory committee.
What vaccine should my child get?
Either one, says Dr. Peter Marks, the FDA's vaccine chief.
“Whatever vaccine your health care provider, pediatrician has, that’s what I would give my child,’’ Marks said Friday.
The doses haven't been tested against each other, so experts say there’s no way to tell if one is better.
One consideration: It takes roughly three months to complete the Pfizer three-shot series, but just one month for Moderna's two shots. So families eager to get children protected quickly might want Moderna.
Who's giving the shot?
Pediatricians, other primary care physicians and children’s hospitals are planning to provide the vaccines. Limited drugstores will offer them for at least some of the under-5 group.
U.S. officials expect most shots to take place at pediatricians’ offices. Many parents may be more comfortable getting the vaccine for their kids at their regular doctor, White House COVID-19 coordinator Dr. Ashish Jha said. He predicted the pace of vaccination to be far slower than it was for older populations.
“We’re going see vaccinations ramp up over weeks and even potentially over a couple of months,” Jha said.
Can children get other vaccines at the same time?
It’s common for little kids to get more than one vaccine during a doctor’s visit.
In studies of the Moderna and Pfizer shots in infants and toddlers, other vaccinations were not given at the same time so there is no data on potential side effects when that happens.
But problems have not been identified in older children or adults when COVID-19 shots and other vaccinations were given together, and the CDC is advising that it's safe for younger children as well.
What if my child recently had COVID-19?
About three-quarters of children of all ages are estimated to have been infected at some point. For older ages, the CDC has recommended vaccination anyway to lower the chances of reinfection.
Experts have noted re-infections among previously infected people and say the highest levels of protection occur in those who were both vaccinated and previously infected.
The CDC has said people may consider waiting about three months after an infection to be vaccinated.

SAN ANTONIO — Officials in Uvalde are preparing for a legal fight over records related to the ongoing investigation into the law enforcement response to last month's shooting at Robb Elementary.
The city has hired an attorney to argue that certain pieces of evidence, including body camera footage, shouldn't be publicly released. Nearly 150 outlets have asked for copies of records related to the shooting, the response to which has drawn plenty of scrutiny from state leaders to local community members.
In the letter sent to Attorney General Ken Paxton by lawyer Cynthia Trevino, Uvalde laid out its case for keeping the records and footage private, saying it would interfere with investigations or potential criminal prosecution.
The attorney general has a little more than a month to make a determination on whether to keep that evidence sealed. The Texas Rangers, Uvalde County District Attorney's Office and FBI are handling the investigation into the shooting response.

UVALDE, Texas — The search for answers in the Robb Elementary School shooting is facing roadblocks as agencies continue to delay and deny public records requests.
KHOU 11 Investigates sent local, state and federal agencies a dozen letters containing 50 records requests about the shooting over the past three weeks, but most have been met with resistance.
“Obviously, we're not seeing much transparency out of the governmental bodies, the public officials that were involved in the in the response to the shooting,” said attorney Joe Larsen. “It's the lack of transparency. That's really where these governmental institutions are trying to subvert our democratic way of life by restricting the information that we need to be able to address the ills of our society, the problems of our institutions.”
The Texas Department of Public Safety, the City of Uvalde and the Uvalde County Sheriff’s Office have all objected to KHOU requests about 911 calls, police body camera footage, police disciplinary records and dispatch recordings. Those requests have all been sent to the Attorney General’s Office for review.
Most recently, the City of Uvalde on Thursday sent KHOU its brief to the attorney general, which outlines the reasons they think they should withhold records. It’s received 148 records requested related to the shooting, an attorney representing the city said in the letter.
It added that the shooting is being investigated by the FBI, Uvalde District Attorney and Texas Rangers, and they have objected to the disclosure of records that “may interfere with the ongoing investigation.”
Larsen, who spent his career fighting open-records battles, says the law enforcement investigation exemption is not absolute.
“If they wanted to, they could release all that information,” Larsen said. “They could release all that body camera footage right now.”
The City of Uvalde in its brief to the attorney general also pointed to privacy law, attorney-client privilege and possible future lawsuits as reasons why the record requests should be denied.
“There's a lot of CYA involved. There's no doubt about that. There's going to be legal action against a lot of these players. One of the exceptions that they claim is litigation exception,” Larsen said.
According to the brief, the City of Uvalde has already received a letter from an attorney, “which include evidence preservation demand and corresponding spoliation of evidence language,” an indication that they may be sued.
Separately, victims’ families filed a motion in court this week, demanding that the Uvalde Consolidated School District preserve maintenance records about the school door the shooter entered because it reportedly didn’t lock. An attorney for that family said in the motion that it also requested records about this but hasn’t received any.
The district filed a “catastrophe notice” with the attorney general in response to records requests. The notice and subsequent extension suspend the district’s requirement to respond to records requests for two weeks, “because the effect of this tragedy directly interferes with the ability of Uvalde CISD to comply with the Texas Public Information Act,” the notice reads.
The attorney general has 45 days after receiving a letter from an agency to decide whether to deny our requests.
Requests to another agency, the U.S. Border Patrol, which is under federal instead of state law, have been “denied in full,” saying they will be releasable after the investigation is completed.
“CBP has considered the foreseeable harm standard when reviewing the record set and has applied the
FOIA exemptions as required by the statute and the (U.S.) attorney general’s guidance. CBP has determined that the responsive records are denied in full,” the letter reads. “Once the investigation is complete and records have been processed, they will be made available on CBP's Reading Room.”

Phillips and Pereira were last seen June 5 on their boat on the Itaquai river, near the entrance of the Javari Valley Indigenous Territory, which borders Peru and Colombia.
On Friday, federal police said that human remains found in Brazil’s remote Amazon have been identified as belonging to Phillips, 57.
Additional remains found at the site near the city of Atalaia do Norte were confirmed to belong to Indigenous expert Pereira, 41, according to the police statement on Saturday.
The remains were found on Wednesday, after fisherman Pelado confessed to killing the pair, and took police to the place where he would have buried the bodies. He told officers that he used a firearm to commit the crime.
The remains had arrived in the capital city of Brasilia on Thursday for forensic examinations.
The area where Phillips and Pereira went missing has seen violent conflicts between fishermen, poachers, and government agents.
Federal police officers arrive with recovered human remains believed to be of the Indigenous expert Bruno Pereira of Brazil and freelance reporter Dom Phillips of Britain, at the Federal Police hangar in Brasília, Brazil, Thursday,, June 16, 2022.

SANTA FE, N.M. (AP) — Behind the raw public frustration and anger over election security that has played out this week in New Mexico was a hint of something deeper -- a growing divide between the state’s Democratic power structure and conservative rural residents who feel their way of life is under attack.
In Otero County, where the crisis over certifying the state's June 7 primary election began, County Commissioner Vickie Marquardt struck a defiant tone as she relented under pressure from the state's Democratic attorney general, Democratic secretary of state and a state Supreme Court dominated by Democratic appointees.
One of the main explanations she gave for reversing course had nothing to do with questions over the security of voting machines — the reason the all-Republican, three-member commission had originally refused to certify its election.
“If we get removed from office, nobody is going to be here fighting for the ranchers, and that’s where our fight should be right now,” said Marquardt, the commission chairwoman in a county where former President Donald Trump won nearly 62% of the vote in 2020.
Otero County is similar to the handful of other New Mexico counties where residents have questioned the accuracy of election results and given voice to unfounded conspiracy theories about voting systems that have rippled across the country since former President Donald Trump lost re-election in 2020.
In the state’s vast, rural stretches, frustration over voting and political representation has been building for years. Residents have felt marginalized and overrun by government decisions that have placed limits on livelihoods — curtailing access to water for livestock, shrinking the amount of forest land available for grazing, or halting timber operations and energy developments due to endangered species concerns.
Tensions have mounted as Democrats in New Mexico consolidate control over every statewide office and the Supreme Court. Democrats have dominated the Legislature for generations.
Even as they voted to certify their elections, sometimes reluctantly, commissioners from several New Mexico counties said they were bound by the law to take that step — thanks to legislation passed by Democrats. They urged their residents to take the fight to the statehouse.
Some bemoaned what they felt was an encroachment by the state on the powers of local government. Marquardt, from Otero County, complained of her commission’s meager “rubber stamping” authority under laws enacted by Democrats and an election certification “railroaded” through by larger forces.
Otero County is among more than a dozen self-proclaimed 2nd Amendment “sanctuary” counties in rural New Mexico to approve defiant resolutions against recent state gun control laws. The county also has embraced resistance to President Joe Biden’s goals for conservation of more private land and waterways for natural habitat, arguing it will cordon off already limited private land.
Amid alienation, skepticism about the security of elections has taken flight.
On Friday, Otero County Commissioner Couy Griffin was the lone dissenting vote in the election certification, though he acknowledged that he had no evidence of problems or factual basis for questioning the results of the election. His vote came after the county elections clerk said the primary went off without a hitch and that the results were confirmed afterward.
The former rodeo rider and co-founder of Cowboys for Trump dialed into the meeting because he was in Washington, D.C., where hours before he had been sentenced for entering restricted U.S. Capitol grounds during the Jan. 6, 2021, insurrection.
Applause rang out when Griffin declared, “I think we need to hold our ground.”
The developments in New Mexico can be traced to far-right conspiracy theories over voting machines that have spread across the country over the past two years. Various Trump allies have claimed that Dominion voting systems had somehow been manipulated as part of an elaborate scheme to steal the election, which Biden won.
There has been no evidence of widespread fraud that would have changed the results of the 2020 presidential election, and testimony before the congressional committee investigating the insurrection has made clear that many in Trump's inner circle told him the same as he schemed to retain power.
The election clash that erupted this past week worries Dian Burwell, a registered independent and coffee shop manager in the Otero County seat of Alamogordo.
“We want people to vote and when they see all this, they’ll just say, ‘Why bother?’” Burwell said.
Despite New Mexico counties’ eventual votes to certify their primary results, election officials and experts fear the mini-rebellion is just the start of efforts nationwide to sow chaos around voting and vote-counting, building toward the 2024 presidential election. The New Mexico secretary of state’s office said it had been inundated with calls from officials around the country concerned that certification controversies will become a new front in the attacks on democratic norms.
In another New Mexico county where residents angrily denounced the certification, commissioners were denounced as “cowards and traitors” by a hostile crowd before voting. Torrance County Commissioner LeRoy Candelaria, a Republican and Vietnam veteran, voted to certify the results without apologies, despite the personal insults.
The semi-retired rancher and highway maintenance foreman said he has taken time outside commission meetings to explain his position that New Mexico’s vote-counting machines are well-tested and monitored.
“Our county clerk did an excellent job. I don’t think there’s a vote that went wrong in any way,” Candelaria said later in a telephone interview. “My personal opinion is there are people who are still mad about the last presidential election. ... Let’s worry about the next election and not take things personally.”

The day after Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg met with airline leaders to quiz them about widespread flight disruptions, his own flight was canceled and he wound up driving from Washington to New York.
“That is happening to a lot of people, and that is exactly why we are paying close attention here to what can be done and how to make sure that the airlines are delivering,” Buttigieg told The Associated Press in an interview Saturday.
Buttigieg said he is pushing the airlines to stress-test their summer schedules to ensure they can operate all their planned flights with the employees they have, and to add customer-service workers. That could put pressure on airlines to make additional cuts in their summer schedules.
Buttigieg said his department could take enforcement actions against airlines that fail to live up to consumer-protection standards. But first, he said, he wants to see whether there are major flight disruptions over the July Fourth holiday weekend and the rest of the summer.
Enforcement actions can results in fines, although they tend to be small. Air Canada agreed to pay a $2 million fine last year over slow refunds.
During Thursday's virtual meeting, airline executives described steps they are taking to avoid a repeat of the Memorial Day weekend, when about 2,800 flights were canceled. “Now we're going to see how those steps measure up,” Buttigieg said.
Travel is back. On Friday, more than 2.4 million people passed through security checkpoints at U.S. airports, coming within about 12,500 of breaking the pandemic-era high recorded on the Sunday after Thanksgiving last year.
The record surely would have been broken had airlines not canceled 1,400 flights, many of them because thunderstorms hit parts of the East Coast. A day earlier, airlines scrubbed more than 1,700 flights, according to tracking service FlightAware.
Weather is always a wild card when it comes to flying in summer, but airlines have also acknowledged staffing shortages as travel roared back faster than expected from pandemic lows. Airlines are scrambling to hire pilots and other workers to replace employees whom they encouraged to quit after the pandemic hit.
It takes months to hire and train a pilot to meet federal safety standards, but the Transportation Department sees no reason the airlines cannot immediately add customer-service representatives to help passengers rebook if their flight is canceled.
The government has its own staffing challenges.
Shortages at the Federal Aviation Administration, part of Buttigieg's department, have contributed to flight delays in Florida. The FAA promises to increase staffing there. The Transportation Security Administration, an agency within the Department of Homeland Security, has created a roving force of 1,000 screeners who can be dispatched to airports where checkpoint lines get too long.

NICOSIA, Cyprus (AP) — Breakaway Turkish Cypriots on ethnically-divided Cyprus must do their share in stemming migrant arrivals, a senior European Union official said Saturday, as the number of asylum-seekers has shot up significantly so far this year.
European Commission Vice President Margharitis Schinas said that Turkish Cypriot authorities should also be held accountable for curbing migrant arrivals.
“We won’t let the Turkish Cypriot community to consider itself neutral in what is going on,” Schinas said after visiting upgraded facilities at the Pournara migrant reception camp outside the capital. “They must also assume their share of responsibility and we’ll find a way to remind them.”
Cyprus was split along ethnic lines in 1974 when Turkey invaded following a coup aimed at union with Greece. Only Turkey recognizes a Turkish Cypriot declaration of independence. Cypriot government authorities say the overwhelming majority of migrant arrivals occurs via Turkey and the Turkish Cypriot north through a loosely regulated student visa system.
Thousands then cross a porous U.N.-controlled buffer zone to seek asylum in the Greek Cypriot south where the internationally recognized government is seated. Although Turkish Cypriots receive EU funding, only the south enjoys full membership benefits.
Schinas said EU Commissioner Elisa Ferreira will hold contacts in Cyprus in July to explore ways of best handling the issue. He also said Turkey has demonstrated a willingness to help ease the number of migrants arriving in Cyprus.
The EU will also help Cypriot authorities bolster monitoring and surveillance of the buffer zone to deter crossings in a way that is compatible with EU law since the 180-kilometer-long (120-mile-long) area isn't a formal border, Schinas said.
Cyprus Interior Minister Nicos Nouris said the number of asylum-seekers doubled to 10,000 in the first five months of this year compared to the same period in 2021, repeating that they make up an EU high of 5% of Cyprus’ 915,000-strong population in the south.
He said that Cypriot authorities are working with the EU to facilitate the return of asylum-seekers whose claims have been rejected as well as more funding from the 27 member-nation bloc to the tune of 72 million euros to build a new migrant reception center.
Although overcrowding at the Pournara center has been greatly alleviated in recent months, a 27-year-old Nigerian, Miracle Chidiebera, said there’s still plenty of anger among migrants over what he said is a chronic lack of water, poor food and congested facilities.

MONTREAL (AP) — Pierre Gasly is “100% confirmed” to return to AlphaTauri next season, and teams believe Oscar Piastri is ready for a promotion into a Formula One seat.
But Williams expects its lineup to remain unchanged through the end of the year — great news, if true, for Nicholas Latifi — and McLaren boss Zak Brown said his relationship with embattled driver Daniel Ricciardo has never been better.
All that was revealed Saturday at the Canadian Grand Prix, the ninth event on this year's calendar and a solid six weeks before F1's “silly season” of driver movement is expected to hit full swing.
Speculation has swirled since last month when Brown publicly put Ricciardo on notice to pick up his performance with McLaren. Although the Australian has a contract that runs through 2023, Brown revealed there are “mechanisms" for McLaren to end the deal early.
But as the series returned to Canada for the first time since 2019, Toronto native Latifi has admitted that his seat with Williams is not secure. There have been suggestions Latifi could be replaced after Sunday's race by Piastri, the reigning F2 champion. Piastri has a one-year deal with Alpine as the reserve and test driver, but the team had promised to help him find an F1 seat for 2023.
Alpine principal Otmar Szafnauer said “yes” when asked if Piastri was ready for the promotion, but said he had no information beyond the speculation swirling through the paddock that the Australian was set to replace Latifi.
And Jost Capito, head of Williams, seemed to dismiss the notion Latifi will be out of work following Sunday's race at Circuit Gilles Villeneuve. Capito acknowledged Piastri was “ready to go into Formula One” and was “one on the list for sure” of any team seeking a driver.
But could Piastri be in a Williams seat as soon as the British Grand Prix? Capito said both Alex Albon and Latifi are under contract.
“We are focused on this year, we have a driver lineup for this year,” Capito said. “We don't have any other plans. Both have a contract for the season and that's what our plan is, to fulfill that.”
GASLY LOCKED DOWN
The situation is not at all murky for Gasly at AlphaTauri, as team principal Franz Tost was firm in that the Frenchman will be back in 2023.
“This is 100% confirmed,” Tost said Saturday.
Gasly himself had not seemed so sure just one week ago in Baku, as the 26-year-old stressed he wants to race for wins and not just points. That led to speculation Gasly could try to break free from Red Bull, which has backed him for most of his career but does not have an open F1 seat and just extended the contract of Sergio Perez.
Tost silenced the speculation.
“He will be a driver of us, of Scuderia AlphaTauri, in 2023,” Tost said.
But when asked how Gasly was convinced to stay, the team boss was curt: “He has a valid contract, there’s nothing more to say.”
RICCIARDO'S FUTURE
Ricciardo has been asked about his future in both F1 and with McLaren nearly every week since Brown publicly assessed the Australian's time with the team as underwhelming.
Ricciardo says his contract is clear through 2023, but Brown has indicated there are clauses that could create an early exit. Asked how their relationship has been in the month since Brown was publicly critical of the popular driver, Brown said “the relationship with Daniel has never been better” and the two recently had dinner together in London.
Brown also said McLaren bears some responsibility for Ricciardo's struggles. McLaren is not presently giving Ricciardo or Lando Norris cars to compete with Red Bull and Ferrari.
“We need to produce a faster race car,” Brown said. “Last year in Monza when we had a strong race car we could see what Daniel and Lando could do with it. We need to focus on giving our drivers better race cars and I think Daniel is highly motivated and he has all of our support. We're having fun and have a great relationship with him and hopefully we'll have a good weekend.”

BROOKLINE, Mass. (AP) — The Latest on U.S. Open (all times local):
2:40 p.m.
A whipping wind and dry conditions at The Country Club are sending scores soaring early in the third round of the U.S. Open.
The field was a combined 103 over par shortly after 2 p.m. -- with only three golfers in the red. Co-leaders Collin Morikawa and Joel Dahmen don’t tee off until 3:45 p.m. They were minus-5 through 36 holes.
Will Zalatoris was one of the few making birdies on Saturday morning, knocking in a 40-foot putt for birdie on the second hole and just missing another from 30 feet on No. 3.
He sank a 15-footer for birdie on No. 4 to improve to 2 under for the day and 3 under for the tournament.
Zalatoris is looking for his first major championship. He finished second at the Masters last year, and was the runner-up at this year’s PGA Championship.

11:45 a.m.
The co-leaders in the U.S. Open are still four hours from starting the third round and no one is making a big run up the leaderboard.
Only two of the 18 players on the course at The Country Club are under par for the third round.
One is Sam Stevens. He's 1 under through six holes — 2 over for the championship — and is part of a small group at Brookline that worked the hardest to get here. Stevens and two other players went through 18 holes of local qualifying in May and then made it through 36 holes of final qualifying in June.
The others are Oklahoma star Chris Gotterup and Chris Naegel. None are likely to win. One advantage to making the cut is they can advance straight to final qualifying next year.
Meanwhile, Jordan Spieth started seven shots behind and bogeyed his opening hole. Patrick Cantlay is 1 over for his round through seven holes and is nine shots back.

8 a.m.
The U.S. Open is wide open going into the weekend at The Country Club, and not just at the top.
Collin Morikawa and Joel Dahmen are tied at 5-under par and won't tee off until 3:45 p.m. Dahmen has never won on the PGA Tour and jokingly says that he's used to being home at 5 p.m. to have dinner.
The cut was at 3-over 143. That means only eight shots separate the leaders from last place with 36 holes to go. Such a small margin has only happened once in the last decade at the U.S. Open. That was in 2017 at Erin Hills, which wasn't nearly the stern test Brookline has been.
Erin Hills in Wisconsin is where a record seven players finished the U.S. Open at 10 under or better. The Country Club is expected to be firm and fast, and big numbers are easy to find.
Among the players who made the cut on the number is Patrick Cantlay, the reigning PGA Tour player of the year. Jordan Spieth was one better. He starts seven shots behind.
