Kyle Tomcak sits in front of his house in Aurora, Colo., on Monday, July 18, 2022. Tomcak was in the market for a home priced around $450,000 for his in-laws and he and his wife bid on every house they toured, regardless of whether they fell in love with the home. He said his search became increasingly dispiriting as he not only lost out to investors fronting cash offers $100,000 over asking price but as mortgage rates started to balloon. He has since pulled out of the housing search.

NEW YORK (AP) — It’s the summer that cooled off the housing market.
Rising mortgage rates have combined with already high home prices to discourage would-be buyers. Mortgage applications have declined sharply. Sales of previously occupied homes have fallen for five straight months, during what is generally the busiest time of year in real estate.

An appeals court has revived a federal lawsuit accusing the state of West Virginia of failing to protect children and fix its overwhelmed foster care system. The 4th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals on Wednesday sent the lawsuit back to U.S. District Court in Charleston. The lawsuit seeking class-action status was filed in October 2019 on behalf of a dozen children against Gov. Jim Justice, the state Department of Health and Human Resources and other state officials. A federal judge last year agreed that the state court system should have jurisdiction over child welfare cases. But the appeals court found no reason to dismiss the case.
Jurors have heard closing arguments in the only trial to arise so far from the Flint water crisis. It's a dispute over whether two engineering firms should be held partially responsible for Flint's lead contamination in 2014-15. Attorneys for four Flint children claim Veolia North America and Lockwood, Andrews & Newman didn’t do enough to get Flint to treat the highly corrosive water or to urge a return to a regional water supplier. The engineering firms performed work for Flint. They were not part of a $626 million settlement involving Flint residents, the state of Michigan and other parties. Monday will be the first full day of jury deliberations in federal court in Ann Arbor, Michigan.

Facebook is rolling out an update that enables its 2 billion daily users to more easily view their friends’ posts in chronological order. The feature is the company's latest attempt to keep people coming back to its social network amid intensifying competition with its trendier rival TikTok. The changes announced Thursday will offer up two different perspectives. When Facebook users first open the app, they will initially see the usual news feed featuring posts selected by an algorithm. But a new “Feed" tab in the shortcut bar of the mobile app will now allow users to see all their friends' posts in the order they were shared.

North Carolina’s Democratic attorney general has declined to meet Republican legislative leaders’ demand that he ask a federal court to lift an injunction on a state law banning nearly all abortions after 20 weeks of pregnancy. Attorney General Josh Stein was responding to Senate leader Phil Berger and House Speaker Tim Moore, who called on Stein and the state Justice Department to “take all necessary legal action” to lift an injunction from a 2019 federal court ruling that blocked the state ban. The Republican legislative leaders argue the June 24 Supreme Court ruling that overturned nationwide abortion protections invalidated the legal underpinning of the federal court decision and opened the door to reinstate the ban.

Environmental and renewable energy groups have challenged Duke Energy Corp.'s proposal on how to reduce greenhouse gases in North Carolina. The coalition that includes the Natural Resources Defense Council and the Sierra Club has filed documents with the state Utilities Commission in recent days. A landmark 2021 law ordered the commission to decide by the end of this year what Duke's mix of electricity production can be to reduce carbon dioxide emissions by 70% by 2030 as compared to 2005 levels. The coalition says Duke relies too much on natural gas and unproven technologies and should focus more on solar, wind and batteries.

Turkish officials say a deal on a U.N. plan to unblock the shipment of Ukrainian grain and to allow Russia to export grain and fertilizers will be signed in Istanbul on Friday. The Turkish president’s office said President Recep Tayyip Erdogan, U.N. Secretary General Antonio Guterres and officials from Russia and Ukraine will oversee the signing ceremony. Guterres has been working on a plan that would enable Ukraine to export millions of tons of grain stockpiles that have been stuck in Ukraine’s Black Sea ports due to Russia's invasion of Ukraine. The deal could ease a global food crisis that has sent wheat and other grain prices soaring.

President Joe Biden is reporting a runny nose, fatigue and an occasional dry cough from his COVID-19 infection. Biden tested positive on Thursday at the White House. He has begun taking an antiviral pill that has been shown to reduce the chances of severe disease. His infection was detected first with an antigen test, the same type that many Americans use at home. It was then confirmed with a PCR test. Biden’s symptoms started Wednesday evening. The president is fully vaccinated and twice boosted. The White House says the president will work in isolation until he tests negative.
Israel’s prime minister says he's sending a delegation to Moscow in hopes of halting a Russian order to shutter the operations of a major nonprofit organization that promotes Jewish immigration to Israel. Yair Lapid’s decision came after Russian officials were quoted as saying they aim to “shut down” the Russian branch of the Jewish Agency. A court hearing in the case is scheduled for July 28. The Jewish Agency is a nonprofit that works closely with the Israeli government to bring Jewish immigrants from around the world to Israel. It wasn't immediately clear why Russia has decided to target the nonprofit. The Jewish Agency has operated in Russia since the collapse of the Soviet Union.

After the Gamecocks went 0-11 in Holtz's debut season, Petty helped the team go 17-7 the next two seasons with consecutive victories in the Outback Bowl.
Threats against election officials in the U.S. have risen to such a level that those attending a conference this week in Wisconsin were not given the agenda until after they arrived, were warned not to wear their name tags in public and were shuttled to an undisclosed location for trivia night. It's not just gatherings of election officials. Threats and the potential for violence have led to much tighter security at gatherings of public officials this summer. That includes the meeting of the National Governors Association in Maine, where security was the highest in the state in decades.

The Pittsburgh Penguins have avoided arbitration with forward Kasperi Kapanen, re-signing him to a two-year deal with an average annual value of $3.2 million. The deal keeps the former first-round pick at the same salary level as the three-year deal that expired at the end of the regular season. Kapanen was wildly inconsistent for the Penguins last season, scoring 11 goals to go with 21 assists in 79 games. His goal total marked the lowest of Kapanen’s career in a non-pandemic shortened season.
