(AP) -- Some of the most high-profile urban areas in the U.S. gained population on Tuesday. But it's not because of a sudden flood of moving trucks into San Francisco, Atlanta and New Orleans.Rather, the U.S. Census Bureau corrected errors made in the population and housing counts of urban areas that were officially released in December, according to a Federal Register notice published Tuesday.The San Francisco-Oakland urban area's population was corrected to 3.5 million residents from 3.2 million. The addition of nearly a quarter million residents, as well as more than 100,000 homes, came from the San Rafael-Novato, California, urban area, which had been counted separately by accident when it actually should have been deleted and merged with the San Francisco-Oakland urban area.The Atlanta urban area had its population adjusted to 5.1 million residents from 4.9 million residents. An additional 100,853 residents living in more than 37,000 homes had been mistakenly assigned to the Ga...NY Philharmonic gets $40 million gift that endows Gustavo Dudamel’s job as music director

PARIS (AP) — France’s Foreign Ministry said Tuesday that a French official has been arrested in military-run Niger, and called for the junta to immediately release him.Military officers in Niger deposed elected President Mohamed Bazoum in July and later ordered French officials to leave the country — an order that France has refused to heed, saying that Niger’s junta is not the country’s legitimate authority.The ministry said on X, the platform formerly known as Twitter, that Stephane Jullien, counsellor for French citizens abroad — a non-diplomatic, elected post — , was arrested last Friday, and called for his “immediate release.” French President Emmanuel Macron has said that France’s ambassador would stay at his post in Niger despite being asked to leave, Addressing ambassadors in August, Macron dismissed concerns that standing up to the junta could be dangerous. The arrest of a French official was sure to further raise tensions between France and Niger.The Foreign Mi...Tickets sales for Euro 2024 in Germany start soon at $32.

UConn starting quarterback Joe Fagnano will miss the remainder of the season after suffering a shoulder injury in the Huskies loss to Georgia State, coach Jim Mora announced Tuesday.Fagnano, a transfer from Maine, was injured during a designed quarterback run in the second quarter of last Saturday’s 35-14 loss in Atlanta.“It’s a fairly significant injury, we didn’t think it was that significant until they got a real good look at it with the MRI, so Friday he’s scheduled for surgery and he’s obviously pretty down about it,” Mora said.Ta’Quan Roberson, a transfer from Penn State, will take over the starting duties for UConn (0-2), which hosts FIU on Saturday.Roberson completed 19 of 30 passes for 216 yards and two touchdowns in relief of Fagnano on Saturday night.He returns to the starting role he lost after suffering a season-ending knee injury in UConn’s opening game a season ago.“Now this year, the guy ahead of Ta’Quan gets hurt and now Ta’Quan gets his chance aga...France’s Foreign Ministry says a French elected official has been arrested in military-run Niger, and calls for his release.

During a passionate defense of quarterback Russell Wilson, who's coming off the worst season of his career, Payton accused Hackett and his staff in Denver of doing “one of the worst coaching jobs in the history of the NFL" in 2022.The potshot would have hit different had it come during Payton's time as a Fox football analyst during his year's sabbatical from coaching.Hackett, now the Jets' offensive coordinator, owned up to his failures as a first-time head coach in Denver but suggested Payton broke an unwritten code among coaches to not publicly criticize one another.Payton's stinging critique of Hackett's performance in a USA Today article is sure to p...BSO: Teen student arrested, charged with attempted murder after cutting teacher at Bright Horizons School
