SEATTLE, Washington (AP)

The Seattle Sounders are adding Seahawks quarter-back Russell Wilson and wife

Ciara, hip-hop artist Macklemore and Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella to the MLS club’s ownership group.

Other investors are also coming aboard while current majority owner Adrian Hanauer is increasing his investment stake in the club. Holly-wood producer Joe Roth, who helped bring the MLS to Seattle, is leaving the franchise.

Wilson has been attempting to get into sports ownership. He was previ-ously a partner in an effort to build a new basketball arena in Seattle and has also been part of the project in Portland, Oregon, to build a baseball stadium in the hopes of luring an MLB team to the city.

“When I got here in 2012, Seattle was a place that I felt I could call home forever.

And obviously because of the Seahawks, and now because of the Sounders, it

makes that really come to life,” Wilson said in a statement. “We’re really excited about building that winning culture. This city is a special place. The Pacific North-west is a place we love and we get to raise our kids here and have a lot of fun while doing it.”

While the addition of Wilson and Macklemore will grab attention, other new additions to the ownership group have deep ties to Microsoft. Nadella is the most notable, but former Microsoft exec-utive Terry Myerson and his wife, Katie, are the leaders of the new investment group.

“He quickly put together this rock star, literally and figuratively, group of owners and I had known several of them over time and met some new ones, and I guess it was humbling to know how much passion there was, how much connection there was to the club that we all have built together,” Hanauer said. “People were enthusiastic for all the right reasons.”

In a lengthy post on social media , Myerson described the process of starting to bring new investors together more than a year ago. Pulling together 11 families and finalizing the purchase took longer than anyone expected.

“What motivated so many of us to come together was to make sure the Sounders were owned here in Seattle for our kids and for our community,” Myerson said.

ORLANDO, Florida (AP)

Foreign-born residents had higher rates of full-time employment than those born in the United

States last year, and naturalized immi-grants were more likely to have advanced degrees than the native-born, according to figures released Monday by the U.S. Census Bureau.

The new figures show that the eco-nomic gap between the native-born and the foreign-born in the United States appears to narrow with citizenship.

Immigrants who weren’t citizens had higher rates of poverty, lower income and less education compared with native-born citizens last year. But immigrants who were citizens had less poverty, close to equal earnings and higher rates of advanced degrees than native U.S. citi-zens.

“Usually immigrants start off in the U.S. lagging behind a bit in terms of income, as they need to find the right job, learn local skills and so on and then catch up,” said Giovanni Peri, an economist at the Uni-

versity of California, Davis. “Immigrants also are very different among each other, and those naturalized may be a selection of those more educated and with better jobs.”

Naturalized immigrants had a fulltime employment rate of about 83 percent last year, noncitizens had about 81 percent and native citizens had 77 percent.

“Some immigrant groups have to be employed to stay in this country — those on work visas, which would raise the proportion,” said Stefan Rayer, a demographer at the Uni-versity of Florida.

The 2018 Current Population Survey figures offer a view of immigrants’ edu-cation levels, wealth and jobs as the U.S. engages in one of the fiercest debates about the role of immigration in decades.

Stopping the flow of immigrants into the U.S. has been a priority of President

Donald Trump’s administration, which has proposed denying green cards to immigrants who use Medicaid and fought to put a citizenship question on the decen-nial census questionnaire.

Monday’s figures also look at differ-ences between naturalized immigrants and those who aren’t citizens. In 2018, the U.S. had 45.4 million foreign-born resi-dents, or about 1 in 7 U.S. residents.

Education appears to play a role in narrowing the income gap between the native-born and the foreign-born.

Overall, naturalized immi-grants had a slightly smaller median income than the native-born — $50,786 compared with $51,547 — but nonciti-zen immigrants trailed them both with a median income of $36,449.

But naturalized immigrants with a college degree surpassed college-educated natives’ income, and both naturalized immigrants and noncitizens with advanced degrees had

higher median incomes than U.S. natives with advanced degrees.

Immigrants, both naturalized and non-citizens, were overwhelmingly urban and suburban dwellers. Less than 1 in 20 immigrants lived outside of a metropoli-tan area last year, compared with about 1 in 7 for native-born citizens, according to the figures.

Going back to school is a bittersweet time for kids, teachers, and parents alike.

Every year, this also means that back to school shopping is the main focus. Whether you are shopping for school supplies or trendy clothes, these tips will assist in making sure your whole family is school ready, without breaking the bank.

Be a smart shopper. Whether it be that you are shopping for supplies or clothes, keep an eye out for sales. When shopping for supplies, take advantage of the marked down items to make sure your child has enough supplies for the whole school year. When it comes to shopping for clothing, perhaps let your children pick out a first day outfit and hold off on buying the rest until you can spot a big sale.

Take inventory. Regardless of what type of shopping you will be doing, taking an inventory of items that you already have can greatly reduce the cost. Always have your children try on the clothes they already own so you can see what new items they need. Once your inventory is taken, take time to bag up the clothing that your children will not need any more and donate them to a non-profit or family in need.

Utilize allowances. If giving an allowance is common in your household, take advantage of this financial literacy opportunity. Prior to the beginning of the year, sit down with your child and talk about the finances involved with schooling. Perhaps you can set a budget for their clothing, and the rest they will need to pay for. If you do this, your child will feel more involved with the process and be more conscious about money. The financial lessons you teach during this time of year will carry with them throughout their life.

Research. If you are looking to buy a larger item for school (i.e.

laptop, computer, textbooks) be sure to shop around and compare pricing. Look for a store that does a price match, such as Walmart, so you can find the best deal without steering away from your favorite store. You may even find used textbooks at a local bookstore or online through Amazon for a discounted price. You can even take advantage of renting textbooks if you will only need it for a certain class or time period. Encourage college-aged students to try to sell their lightly used textbooks to an online buyer or even their local campus store.

Utilize the school. Once school has started, look into what financial opportunities the school offers for their students. For children in high school, they might be able to utilize one of the eleven Gesa High School Campus Branches that are located right in their school to make transactions and learn about financial literacy!

DIY lunches. Most schools offer hot lunches for students, but if you do not qualify for free hot lunch, consider making your own lunch at home. Prepare sandwiches during the weekend, so there is no hassle during the week. If your children are older, think about having them take over their own lunch, and if they want to buy lunch, it will come out of their own budget or allowance. This will teach your children the importance of food, money management, and cooking on a budget.

PORTLAND, Oregon (AP)

Police arrested at least 13 people and seized metal poles, bear spray and other weapons Sat-

urday as hundreds of far-right protesters and anti-fascist counter-demonstrators swarmed downtown Portland, Oregon.

Authorities closed bridges and streets to try to keep the rival groups apart. They were largely successful.

“This was a dynamic event with dem-onstrators frequently moving from one part of the city to another,” Mayor Ted Wheeler said at an evening news confer-ence.

As of early afternoon, most of the right-wing groups had left the area via a downtown bridge. Police used officers on bikes and in riot gear to keep black-clad, helmet- and mask-wearing anti-fascist protesters — known as antifa — from fol-lowing them.

But hundreds of people remained downtown and on nearby streets, and there were skirmishes throughout the day. Police declared a gathering of mostly left-

wing protesters near Pioneer Courthouse Square a “civil disturbance” and told people to leave.

Police spokeswoman Lt. Tina Jones at one point said there were about 1,200 on the streets, but that number fell throughout the day. Six people suffered minor injuries.

The events began late Sat-urday morning. Flag-wav-ing members of the Proud Boys, Three Percenters militia group and others gathered downtown, some also wearing body armor and helmets. Police said they had seized the weapons, including shields, from multiple groups as they assembled along the Willamette River, which runs through the city.

More than two dozen local, state and federal law enforcement agencies, includ-ing the FBI, were in the city for the right-wing rally. Portland Police said all of the city’s 1,000 officers would be on duty for

the gathering that was hyped on social media and elsewhere for weeks.

President Donald Trump weighed in early Saturday, writing on Twitter that “Portland is being watched very closely ... Hopefully the Mayor will be able to prop-erly do his job.”

He also wrote that “major consideration is being given to naming ANTIFA an

‘ORGANIZATION of TERROR.’”But it wasn’t immediately clear

what he meant by that as there’s no mechanism for the United States government to declare a domestic organization a terror group.

Wheeler responded to the pres-ident’s tweet in an interview with CNN, saying, “frankly, it’s not helpful.”

At the evening news confer-ence Wheeler tied the demonstra-tions to “a rising white nationalist movement.”

“We’re certainly seeing that play out. ... Portland being a very progressive community is always going to be at or near ground zero

of this battle,” Wheeler said.The self-described anti-fascists had

vowed to confront the right-wing rally, while leaders from the far right urged their followers to turn out in large numbers to protest the arrests of six members of right-wing groups in the run-up to the event.

NATIONAL

SAN FRANCISCO, California (AP)

Hundreds of Google employees are calling on the company to pledge it won’t work with

U.S. Customs and Border Protection or Immigration and Customs Enforcement. It’s the latest in a year full of political and social pushback from the tech giant’s workforce.

A group of employees called Googlers for Human Rights posted a public peti-tion urging the company not to bid on a cloud computing contract for CBP, the federal agency that oversees law enforce-ment for the country’s borders. Bids for the contract were due Aug. 1. It is not clear if Google expressed interest. The company did not return a request for comment.

More than 700 Google employees had signed the petition by Tuesday afternoon. Citing a “system of abuse” and “malign neglect” by the agencies, the petition demands Google not provide any tech-

nical services to CBP, ICE or the Office of Refugee Resettlement (ORR), which provides services for refu-gees, until the agencies “stop engaging in human rights abuses.”

“In working with CBP, ICE, or ORR, Google would be trading its integrity for a bit of profit, and joining a shameful lineage,” the orga-nizers wrote. They cited federal actions that have sep-arated migrant children from parents and set up detention centers with poor conditions .

Google employees have led a growing trend in which some tech-company employees have taken public stances against their employers’ policies. Thou-sands of Google employees walked out last fall to protest the company’s handling of sexual misconduct claims. Employees

also protested a Pentagon contract last year over work that used artificial intel-ligence technology to analyze drone footage.

The protests have chalked up some success. After the walkout , Google announced new sexual misconduct guidelines, although some employees say they don’t go far enough. And the

company did not renew the Pen-tagon contract after significant pushback.

Responding to some employee pressures has added fuel to claims from Republican pundits and lawmakers that the company is building its prod-ucts to be biased against conser-vatives — an unfounded claim that has spawned multiple con-gressional hearings, although none that have produced evi-dence of bias.

Google was hit with criticism by President Donald Trump last week when the president

tweeted he was “watching Google very closely” after a former employee claimed on Fox News — without evidence — that the company would try to influence the 2020 election against Trump.

Google has denied claims of politi-cal bias in its popular search service and other products.

CIUDAD DELGADO, El Salvador (AP)

A young rape victim who was suspected of having an abor-tion and charged with homi-

cide was acquitted by a judge at a retrial Monday in a case that attracted inter-national attention to El Salvador’s strict abortion laws.

Evelyn Beatriz Hernández, now 21, had served 33 months of a 30-year prison sentence when her conviction was over-turned in February for lack of evidence and a new trial was ordered. Prosecutors had asked for a 40-year sentence.

The retrial was a first for such a case in the Central American nation, where pros-ecutors aggressively pursue legal cases against women who have miscarriages or other obstetric emergencies, accusing them of murder.

“Thank God, justice was done,” Hernán-dez said following the announcement of the verdict, visibly emotional as dozens of women waited at the courthouse. “I also thank you who have been present here.”

“Yes we did!” the women chanted.

Hernández also thanked foreign diplo-mats who have followed the case closely. The Associated Press usually does not name victims of alleged sexual assault, but Hernández has spoken publicly about her case.

Hernández’s fetus was at 32 weeks in 2016 when she felt intense abdom-inal pains and deliv-ered it into an outdoor toilet, and it was later found lifeless in a septic tank. Her mother said she found her passed out next to the latrine, and Hernández said she didn’t know she was pregnant.

Both women said they didn’t know there was a fetus in the tank, but pros-ecutors didn’t believe them and pressed charges. Forensic experts were unable to determine whether it died in the uterus or

in the septic tank.At the retrial, prosecutors’ argument

against Hernández was commission by omission — that is, she failed to protect her fetus.

“We believe the judge has been very fair in his ruling,” defense lawyer Bertha

María Deleón said. “He has said that there was no way to prove a crime and for that reason he absolved her.”

El Salvador is one of three Central American nations with total bans on abortion. Women convicted of having abortions face sentences of two to eight years.

But women who turn up at public hospitals following a miscarriage are sometimes accused of having killed the fetus and charged with aggravated homicide, which carries a sentence of 30 to 40 years. Such punishments often fall on poor, young women and victims of rape.

“This is a resounding victory for the rights of women in El Sal-vador. It reaffirms that no woman should be wrongly accused of homicide for the simple fact of suffering an obstetric emer-gency,” said Erika Guevara-Rosas, Ameri-cas director at Amnesty International.

MEXICO CITY (AP)

New U.S. Ambassador to Mexico Christopher Landau arrived in Mexico City on

Friday to take up one of Washington’s most important diplomatic posts, which had been vacant for over a year, amid a tricky time for relations between the North American neighbors.

Landau replaces Roberta Jacobson, the first woman to be the United States’ envoy to Mexico, who resigned and retired in May 2018.

“I arrive with my hand extended. The United States wins when there is a pros-perous and stable Mexico, and Mexico wins when there is a prosperous and stable United States,” Landau said in brief remarks to journalists upon arriving at Mexico City’s airport in the morning. He did not take questions.

The United States and Mexico have deep cultural, familial and economic ties. The United States buys about 80%

of Mexican exports, some $358 billion last year, and in the first quarter of this year Mexico was the United States’ No. 1 com-mercial partner for the first time, ahead of Canada and China.

But Landau’s arrival comes after months of tensions over immigra-tion and trade.

Mexico has cracked down a wave of mostly Central Ameri-can migrants and asylum seekers moving through its territory after U.S. President Donald Trump threatened to slap tariffs on imports from its southern neigh-bor. The number of migrants encountered by U.S. authorities in July dropped below 100,000 for the first time in five months, according to U.S. govern-ment data released last week.

A September deadline looms when the two countries are to evaluate progress on the issue.

The governments are also hoping for

ratification of a trade deal with Canada that replaced the North American Free Trade Agreement. Mexico’s Senate approved the agreement known as the USMCA in June, but U.S. lawmakers have yet to do so.

“Obviously there are challenges in the bilateral relationship, but they are the challenges ... of any relationship that is so

close,” Landau said.“Our countries are partners,

neighbors and friends,” he added. “It is that way today, and always will be.”

Antonio Garza, who was U.S. ambassador to Mexico from 2002 to 2009, said Landau will be tasked with working with Mexico on the same issues that are perennially core to the relationship: trade, immigra-tion and security.

“I think to various degrees at dif-ferent times there’s more urgency attached to each of those,” Garza said. “With that said, I don’t think that there has ever been a more critical time in terms of urgency as

relates to trade, immigration and secu-rity.”

Landau is a Harvard-educated lawyer who has argued nine cases before the Supreme Court and who clerked for Justices Antonin Scalia and Clarence Thomas in the early 1990s, according to a bio provided by the U.S. Embassy.
