Last Wednesday [October 18], WBEZ (91.5 FM) reported that a civic leader of St. Louis visited the Chicago Mayor’s Office to discuss a program whereby migrants from Venezuela could be brought to the Gateway to the West in order to ease the migrant crisis gripping the Windy City just as winter temperatures arrive.

It’s estimated that 20,000 migrants, mostly Venezuelans, have arrived in Chicago this year, and finding them places to stay has been challenging.

The WBEZ report details that St. Louis is currently in a decline of population and employees, and some in the city believe the migrants and the city would be better off long-term if they moved there.

The International Institute of St. Louis announced the new Latino Outreach Program last month with the aim of both attracting and accommodating migrants arriving from Latin America.

Karlos Ramirez, vice president of Latino Outreach for the International Institute, told WBEZ the as-yet unconfirmed agreement “could be the potential for a great relationship between both cities,” adding that “if the [migrants] are going to be in a better place, St. Louis is going to be in a better place, and Chicago is going to be in a better place, I think everybody wins.”

Ramirez says that any next step would have to include sharing details and practices between Latino Outreach and its partners with their counterparts in Chicago.

Fox News 2 reached out to the St. Louis Mayor’s Office for comment, and the representative shared a statement released previously in response to the WBEZ report.

“While the City has not had direct conversations on welcoming more migrants from Chicago, the City of St. Louis has had a longstanding cooperative relationship with the International Institute to welcome immigrants and refugees to the St. Louis area.”

Other migrant welcome programs in the city, such as the Arch Grants program, saw great success in Afghans fleeing the country in August of 2021, and the International Institute modeled its efforts for Latino Outreach on this success.

...The story of Juneteenth itself can be read a metaphor for the fact that it is not yet marked on a national level. Despite the Emancipation Proclamation having taken effect over two years prior, on January 1st, 1863, the slaves of Texas toiled until Maj. Gen. Gordon Granger issued an order freeing them in Galveston, Texas on June 19th, 1865. Texas was the last stronghold of chattel slavery in the former Confederacy.

Slavery in Texas did not end on the day the order was issued. Freedom was hard won. As historian Henry Louis Gates explains, “On plantations, masters had to decide when and how to announce the news — or wait for a government agent to arrive — and it was not uncommon for them to delay until after the harvest. Even in Galveston City, the ex-Confederate mayor flouted the Army by forcing the freed people back to work…”

The 19th of June, then, as an heir to the tradition recounts, “wasn’t the exact day the Negro was freed. But that’s the day they told them that they was free…”

It wouldn’t be until later that year, December 6th, 1865, that slavery would officially end in the United States with the passing of the Thirteenth Amendment, which set free the last people still enslaved by slaveowners clinging onto the last vestiges of chattel slavery.

Juneteenth, more than anything, commemorates the potential of freedom.

For the next hundred years Juneteenth was hardly known outside of Texas, except where black communities migrated, taking the tradition with them. First, it went westward. However, it wouldn’t be until the months after the assassination of Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. that the celebration of Juneteenth would spread widely across black America.

That year, Rev. Ralph Abernathy and Dr. King’s widow, Coretta Scott King made a decision to cut short the Poor People’s March in June of 1968, with delegates from Texas suggesting that they mark Juneteenth together on the Washington Mall. The delegates dispersed with the memory of this commemoration fresh in their mind, bringing Juneteenth back across the black communities of the Great Migration. As Van Newkirk II writes in the Atlantic, “Like many black homegoings, it found a way to fuse sorrow and jubilation. What Abernathy and Coretta Scott King knew was that fusion was the only way to continue the work without breaking.”

To this day, though, Juneteenth has remained primarily a celebration in black communities. As Professor Karlos Hill remarks, “Juneteenth is largely seen as an African-American thing; it is not seen as something for the general population … it is poorly understood outside of the African-American community. It is perceived as being part of black culture and not ‘American culture,’ so to speak.”

We are long overdue to take steps towards making Juneteenth part of “American culture,” and our very own Jewish tradition is a great place to start.

For the Jews of America, celebrating civic holidays has come to be a sign of pride and patriotism — marking these dates has symbolized our commitment to the American project. This commitment has also seen the Jewish community commit itself in turns to social justice and activism alongside the black community.

Beyond the moral imperative to mark Juneteenth, to do so would also be to show solidarity and acceptance to the growing diversity of the Jewish community. Many within our community are descended from the legacy of chattel slavery — and live every day with its enduring systemic effects.

...The work of liberation for black Americans is still in progress. This work is not something that can be done alone. The Jewish community must be involved, not simply because it is the right thing to do, but because our very future is bound up in it too. It is time for the Jewish community to stand next to the black Jews in our midst, and shoulder-to-shoulder with the broader black community.

...We read in Pirkei Avot words of wisdom from the rabbis of the Mishnaic period. Many are familiar with the famous saying of Rabbi Tarfon that close out the second chapter of the book: “It is not your duty to finish the work, but neither are you at liberty to neglect it” (2:16).

Fewer have likely encountered the words that follow in the opening of the very next chapter, attributed to Akavia Ben Mahalalel:

“Keep your eye on three things, and you will not come to sin: Know from where you came, and to where you are going, and before Whom you are destined to give an account and a reckoning.” (3:1).

History. Destiny. Accountability. As Professor Hill reminds us, “a Juneteenth holiday is just the impetus and enabler of the change that we want to see. The process of creating this holiday, the change that would need to occur to get people’s minds and spirits in the right place, is really what we want.”

This year, it is time for the Jewish community to mark Juneteenth. Seek out your local Juneteenth celebration. Lobby your congressperson to make Juneteenth a national holiday. Read about the enduring impact of chattel slavery on American black communities. Commit yourself to acts of social justice that will dismantle systemic inequalities in America. This, and more, our moral tradition compels us to do.

After all, in the immortal words of Emma Lazarus, “Until we are all free, we are none of us free.”

WOMEN’S HISTORY † LEONOR I.a NAFARROAKOA (2 February 1426 – 12 February 1479)

Leonor I.a Nafarroakoa was the youngest of the four children of Joan II d’Aragó and Zuria I.a Nafarroakoa. In 1440, her mother died and the throne of Navarre should have passed to Leonor’s older brother, Karlos, but instead Joan kept on ruling Navarre and excluded Karlos from power. At some point (either 1436 or 1441), Leonor married Gaston IV, comte de Foix and vicomte de Béarn, son of Jehan de Foix-Grailly and Jehanne d’Albret, daughter of the Constable Charles d’Albret who had died at the Battle of Agincourt in 1415. Leonor and Gaston had ten children. Meanwhile, in 1451, civil war broke out between Leonor’s father and brother. Karlos was taken prisoner after the Battle of Aybar in 1452 and Joan tried to disinherit him in favor of Leonor. Instead, Karlos spent much of his time abroad in Italy at the court of his uncle, Alfons V d’Aragó. In 1455, Joan formally disinherited Karlos and as well as his elder daughter, Zuria, and proclaimed that Leonor was his lawful heir and would act as governor of the kingdom in his absence. Afterwards, Leonor traveled to Navarre and took up the role of governor. Karlos died in 1461 and the following year, Joan placed Zuria into Leonor’s custody. Zuria died a year later and was rumored to have been poisoned. Despite her loyalty to her father, Joan deposed her as governor in 1468 in the midst of civil war in Aragon and ordered the assassination of her advisor, Nicolas de Etchabarri. Joan’s actions did nothing to improve the civil war and in 1471, he was forced to reinstate Leonor as governor. His actions may have been motivated by the fact that Gaston was French and Joan was not on good terms with the French king, Louis XI. Around the same time, Leonor’s eldest son, Gaston, Vianako printzea, died in a tournament accident and her husband died while leading an army to her rescue. Joan finally died 20 January 1479. Leonor was crowned queen 28 January 1479, but died less than a month later on 12 February at the age of 53. She was succeeded as the ruler of Navarre by her grandson, François Fébus, the son of her eldest son Gaston by Madeleine de France. Leonor’s third surviving son, Jean de Foix, vicomte de Narbonne, married Marie d’Orléans, younger sister of Louis XII de France, and was the father of Germaine de Foix, second wife of Fernando II de Aragón. Meanwhile, Leonor’s third daughter, Marguerite de Foix, married Frañsez II, dug Breizh, and was, thus, the mother of Anna Breizh, the twice queen of France. Finally, her fourth daughter, Catherine de Foix, was the grandmother of Anna Jagellonica, wife of Holy Roman Emperor, Ferdinand I, the second son of Philipp the Handsome and Juana I de Castilla.

Robson Conceição Defeats Xavier Martinez in Tulsa

Published: February 03, 2022

TULSA, OK. — Robson Conceição did not experience a world title defeat hangover. Less than five months removed from a close decision loss to WBC super featherweight world champion Oscar Valdez, Conceição earned a one-sided decision over the previously undefeated Xavier Martinez in a 10-round WBC super featherweight title eliminator Saturday evening at Hard Rock Hotel & Casino Tulsa. Conceição (17-1, 8 KOs), ranked No. 3 by the WBC, won by scores of 100-90, 99-91 and 98-92. He outlanded Martinez (17-1, 11 KOs) in each of the final five rounds. After the fight, Conceição called out for a rematch against Valdez. “I learned a lot from that Oscar Valdez loss, and that’s why I was able to dedicate myself," Conceição said. "I wasn’t discouraged by what happened that evening. I know who I am, and I knew if I put in the work, I could have this type of performance. But my mind is set on Valdez, and I definitely want that shot. “To be honest, I think Xavier Martinez punches harder than Oscar Valdez. I felt his punches, but I know this is the type of fight I needed to prepare myself because I’m a world champion level fighter. And I definitely want Oscar Valdez." Martinez had pockets of success, stunning Conceição in the fourth and ninth rounds. But the heavy blows were few and far between, as the 2016 Brazilian Olympic gold medalist ultimately showed his class. Martinez said, "I thought it was closer. I know I didn’t do enough to win. I sat back too much. I didn’t listen to the game plan fully. It is what it is. I’m not going to be a sore loser. He did his thing tonight. It wasn’t my night. I’m not done. This is just the beginning." Cabrera Cruises Past Giron Giovanni Cabrera (19-0, 7 KOs), who is trained by Freddie Roach, authored a one-sided boxing exhibition with a unanimous decision over Rene Tellez Giron (16-2, 10 KOs) in the eight-round junior welterweight co-feature (scores: 77-75 and 78-74 2x). Cabrera, from Chicago, returned to action for the first time since 2019 and ended Giron's three-bout winning streak. Giron rose to prominence with his 2019 knockout win over Karlos Balderas, but he showed up five pounds overweight Friday for his originally scheduled showdown against Luis Melendez. He was then matched with Cabrera, who weighed in at 138.6 and hopes to campaign as a lightweight moving forward. Cabrera outlanded Giron, 141-122, and pulled away on the judges' cards down the stretch. In undercard action: Middleweight Nico Ali Walsh (4-0, 3 KOs) returned to the venue where he made his pro debut last August and once again scored a devastating stoppage. Ali Walsh took care of Jeremiah Yeager (1-2-1, 1 KO) in the second round, knocking him down for the first time with a right-left combination. Just before the second knockdown, Ali Walsh broke out his grandfather's patented Ali Shuffle and finished things off with a left hook. Ali Walsh said, “I think the main thing was staying calm, which I did. Another thing was head movement and defense, which I felt like I did improve on. I fought last month, so if I can make those small improvements in this such a short amount of time, who’s telling what I can do in my next fight? “I didn’t plan {the Ali Shuffle}. It was emotional, of course. So much has been going on, but yeah, I didn’t plan on doing that. It’s just something that happened.” Cleveland-born welterweight Tiger Johnson (2-0 1 KO), who represented the U.S. at the Tokyo Olympics last year, lived up to his blue chip billing with a one-sided, four-round decision over Xavier Madrid (3-1, 1 KO). All three judges scored it 40-36 for Johnson, who had Madrid stunned on a few occasions in the fourth. The Albuquerque native fired back and saw the final bell. St. Louis-born heavyweight Stephan Shaw (16-0, 12 KOs) shined in his Top Rank debut, stopping Philadelphia's Joey Dawejko (21-10-4, 12 KOs) in the eighth round. Shaw never had Dawejko seriously hurt, but referee Gerald Ritter stopped the fight on the advice of Dawejko's corner. Featherweight sensation Bruce "Shu Shu" Carrington (2-0, 1 KO), from Brownsville, Brooklyn, knocked out Steven Brown (1-1, 1 KO) in the second round with a devastating offensive assault. Carrington pinned Brown to the ropes and unloaded with four clean shots. The final blow, a left uppercut, crumpled Brown to the canvas. Carla Torres (7-6) used her pinpoint accuracy to edge Pink Tyson (11-3, 2 KOs) via eight-round majority decision in a junior lightweight affair. The scorecards read as follows: 76-76, 77-75 and 80-72. Featherweight prospect Haven Brady Jr. (5-0, 3 KOs) went the six-round distance for the first time as a pro, shutting out Mexican veteran Diuhl Olguin (15-21-5, 10 KOs) by identical scores of 60-54. Light heavyweight Dante Benjamin Jr. (1-0, 1 KO) had a successful pro debut, knocking out Emany Rendon (2-1) at 2:05 of the opening round. Benjamin knocked Rendon down twice, ending the fight with a short left hook.

PETITE HISTOIRE DU FRANÇAIS JUSQU’A NOS JOURS

Vous souvenez-vous de cette vague d’indignation et de mécontentement qui a soulevé la France en 2016 lorsqu’est ressortie une polémique sur la réforme de l’orthographe ? Beaucoup de gens se sont plaints de tout et de n’importe quoi, mais il s’est notamment dit que l’orthographe dite « révisée » ou « de 1990 » (car, rappelons-le, cette réforme a été publiée et approuvée depuis le 6 décembre 1990) est horrible, dénaturée, et que les gens ne savent plus écrire aujourd’hui. Pourtant, ils seraient moins nombreux à protester contre les réformes de l’orthographe de 1835 et 1878, la première étant souvent considérée comme la transition du français moderne naissant au français standard actuel.

Et ils semblent également oublier que la langue française a derrière elle plus de 1200 ans d’existence… alors justement, faisons un petit tour d’horizon du français, de ses origines à nos jours et voyons son évolution sur ses siècles d’existence.

Les racines du français se situent à de la chute de l’Empire Romain d’Occident, sur la fin du Ve siècle de notre ère. Le latin vulgaire, implanté sur les territoires des Gaules par les conquêtes romaines, avait déjà supplanté les langues vernaculaires des peuples gaulois vivant sur place auparavant. Le latin étant la langue véhiculaire de l’Empire et ayant l’avantage d’être écrit contrairement aux langues gauloises, qui étaient uniquement orales, il domina le territoire de la future France pendant des siècles, se différenciant légèrement de celui parlé à Rome par les empereurs (laissant un total de 100 à 150 mots d’origine gauloise survivre dans la langue française actuelle).

Cependant, ces dialectes du latin vulgaire allaient faire face à l’invasion des peuples et langues germaniques venus de l’autre côté du Rhin et du Danube. Ces langues finiront par s’assimiler petit à petit, donnant un ensemble de dialectes appelé historiquement gallo-roman (soit « langue romane de Gaule »). Aujourd’hui, on distingue un peu plus l’influence des langues germaniques sur l’ensemble de ces dialectes, et on les sépare en deux familles de dialectes : le gallo-roman au nord de la Loire, et l’occitano-roman au sud. Ces deux groupes vont lentement diverger et évoluer entre le Ve et le IXe siècle, période parfois appelée « proto-français ».

À noter que chaque groupe de dialectes du latin vulgaire a eu ses différentes influences, et on peut ainsi distinguer les familles suivantes : en plus des deux groupes cités précédemment, la sous-famille des langues romanes occidentales compte l’ibéro-roman dans la péninsule ibérique, influencé par les wisigoths puis les arabes, ainsi que les dialectes d’Italie du Nord ; l’italo-roman (ou dialectes d’Italie du Sud) constitue le seul représentant des langues romanes méridionales ; tout à l’est du continent, on peut trouver le roumain et les langues romanes orientales, plus influencées par les slaves ; en marge de tous ces groupes de langues romanes continentales, on trouve les langues romanes insulaires (comme le vieux corse et le sarde), sûrement influencées par le peuple vandale.

Revenons dans les dialectes gallo-romans, pour nous arrêter un instant aux Serments de Strasbourg. Prononcés le 14 février 842 par Charles le Chauve (Charles II de France dans la généalogie traditionnelle des rois de France) et Louis le Germanique (Louis II de Germanie), ils signent leur alliance militaire contre leur frère Lothaire (un an avant le traité de Verdun qui donnera notamment naissance au royaume de Francie Occidentale, successeur de la Gaule et ancêtre direct de la France)). Ces traités sont d’une importance capitale car souvent considérés comme l’acte de naissance de la langue française : le texte est celui d’une alliance politique, et est écrit et prononcé par Charles en langue tudesque (ou germanique) pour l’armée de Louis, ainsi qu’écrit et prononcé par Louis en langue romane pour l’armée de Charles. En voici un extrait en langue romane :

Si Lodhuvigs sagrament, que son fradre Karlo iurat, conservat, et Karlus meos sendra de suo part non lostanit, si io returnar non l’int pois: ne io ne neuls, cui eo returnar int pois, in nulla aiudha contra Lodhuvig nun li iv er. « Si Louis observe le serment qu’il jure à son frère Charles et que Charles, mon seigneur, de son côté, ne le maintient pas, si je ne puis l’en détourner, ni moi ni aucun de ceux que j’en pourrai détourner, nous ne lui serons d’aucune aide contre Louis. »

Entre le IXe et le XIIIe siècle émerge autour de la capitale de la Francie, Paris, la langue royale, dialecte qui donnera par la suite le français. Il faut toutefois noter qu’à cette époque chaque seigneur, chaque région parle un dialecte différent, et que si les nuances peuvent être légère entre les dialectes gallo-romans (ou langues d’oïl), elles sont bien plus importante entre un dialecte gallo-roman et un dialecte occitano-roman (ou langue d’oc). Cependant nous reviendrons aux dialectes du français dans le prochain article, et nous concentrerons donc ici sur le dialecte de la capitale. Il fut d’abord appelé roman ou romanz (prononcé /rɔ.mɑ̃ns/) jusqu’au XIIe siècle, avant que le terme franceis (prononcé /frɑ̃n.ʦɛɪs/ puis /frɑ̃n.sɛɪs/ à partir du XIIIe siècle) n’apparaisse.

C’est pendant cette période, appelée « ancien français » que l’une des variétés de la langue d’oïl, le franco-normand, arrive en Grande-Bretagne lors de la conquête de l’Angleterre par Guillaume le Conquérant en 1066. Nous aurons également l’occasion de revenir dans un prochain article sur l’influence du français sur la langue anglaise.

À partir du XIVe siècle, on entre dans la période du moyen-français, et le terme franceis mute et disparaît peu à peu au profit de françoys (prononcé /frɑ̃.swɛ/), mais la langue en elle-même reste limitée comme étant celle de la région du roi. Ceci change en août 1539 lorsque François Ier signe l’Ordonnance de Villers-Cotterêts, et le françoys devient la langue officielle du royaume de France, à la place du latin et des autres langues parlées sur le territoire.

De prononcer et expedier tous actes en langaige françoys Et […] Nous voulons q~ doreſenauãt tous arreſtz […] ſoient prononcez, enregistrez & deliurez aux parties en langage maternel francoys, et non autrement. « De prononcer et rédiger tous les actes en langue française Et […] nous voulons que dorénavant tous les arrêts […] soient prononcés, publiés et notifiés aux parties en langue maternelle française, et pas autrement. »

Cela ne rend pas la France monolingue, loin de là, les langues régionales vont subsister encore avec force jusqu’à la Révolution. Mais cela renforce la puissance de la langue française sur le territoire du royaume notamment au détriment du latin. À noter que le texte commence enfin à être compréhensible pour un locuteur moderne, bien que de grandes différences soient notables.

La transition vers le français classique se fait au début du XVIIe siècle, et alors que c’est à cette époque que le français commence à standardiser son écriture (notamment avec l’invention de l’Académie Française en 1635), on y insère paradoxalement des lettres vestigiales issues du latin, alors qu’elles avaient complètement été éliminées par l’évolution : pie devient « pied » par rapprochement avec le latin pedis, ou doit et vint deviennent « doigt » et « vingt » par étymologie avec digitus et viginti respectivement. Cette nouvelle orthographe étymologique est même parfois erronée : pois devient « poids » par rapprochement avec pondus, alors qu’il est issu de ponsus, et savoir devient sçavoir par rapprochement avec sciere, alors qu’il est issu de sapere (il faudra attendre 1740 pour que sçavoir redevienne « savoir », même si l’orthographe sçavoir perdurera encore un peu).

Le françois (toujours prononcé /frɑ̃.swɛ/ au début du XVIIe siècle, puis évoluant vers /fʀɑ̃.sɛ/) s’exporte alors dans l’Empire Colonial français naissant, notamment en Nouvelle-France (où il a donné l’actuel dialecte québécois entre autres), mais devient également la langue de prestige des cours d’Europe, à un point tel que le français remplace le latin pour les traités et la diplomatie, et que la cour russe parle plus français que russe, résultant encore aujourd’hui en un grand nombre de mots russes empruntés directement au français.

Cependant, à partir de la Révolution Française, ce prestige diminue, tandis que l’anglais monte en puissance et commence à rivaliser avec le français moderne, qui quant à lui est occupé à faire disparaître toutes les langues régionales qui sont jugées « contre-révolutionnaires ». Au début du XIXe siècle, seulement 25% des français parlent couramment le français, et jusqu’au milieu du XXe siècle, des méthodes coercitives et humiliantes seront employées notamment dans les écoles pour éradiquer les langues comme le breton, le basque, l’occitan ou le corse : dans le courant du XIXe siècle, elles commencent à être vues comme populaires et à être méprisées ; avant 1900, l’État interdit l’enseignement en langue régionale, et ne promeut que le français (à partir de 1842, « il est défendu aux élèves de parler breton, même pendant la récréation et de proférer aucune parole grossière, aucun livre breton ne devra être admis ni toléré »). Aujourd’hui, ces langues ont perdu un nombre considérable de locuteurs et malgré les efforts de certains pour leur donner un nouveau souffle, il est probable qu’elles s’éteignent dans le prochain siècle…

À partir de 1835 le français entre dans sa période contemporaine, et est à peu de choses près la langue que l’on connaît aujourd’hui (entre autres, deux réformes orthographiques seront passées par là (notamment celle de 1835 corrigeant les orthographes en « oi » par des orthographes en « ai »), et le phonème /ʀ/ se sera vu quasi-totalement remplacé par /ʁ/). Aujourd’hui seule langue officielle de France, et de loin la plus parlée sur le territoire français, elle est également la langue maternelle d’un peu plus de 1% de la population mondiale, et une langue parlée par 290 millions de personnes couramment, en faisant la sixième langue la plus parlée au monde. Elle a perdu son statut de langue mondiale face à l’anglais mais reste une langue de travail très importante, et malgré son passé chargé, elle n’est en aucun cas à discréditer de par les actions de ceux qui la parlaient auparavant. Le français est également et avant tout une langue vivante, qui continue d’évoluer et dont les règles fixées par l’Académie Française peinent à égaler la vitesse des changements que propose l’oral. Qui sait de quoi elle sera faite dans le futur ?

More Carl, more Cam! Auburn had a pretty nice weekend in the NFL, with a couple of solid headliners in Cam Newton (who’s totally back, by the way) and Carl Lawson (who didn’t lose any more teeth). Yes, Cam had a tasteless remark in a press conference last week, and yes, it turned into a big kerfuffle, but that had nothing to do with his play on the field, and he vindicated himself in that regard from a couple of poor performances earlier in the season. So, we start with him and the rest of the Carolina Panthers, as they visited Detroit for their second straight road game.

Look at this... Cam’s completion percentage in each game so far this season, from Week 1 to Week 5 in order. 56%, 63%, 65%, 76%, 79%. That’s a remarkable climb. That’s unbelievable. His game against Detroit was one of the most efficient performances all season as well with a 141.8 rating. He threw for 355 yards and three touchdowns on 26-33 passing, with no interceptions. Boom. Another guy that’s been making a professional name for himself is Carl Lawson. We knew about Lawson’s talent from pretty much day one, but his durability was always the question. Now that he has proper teeth protection, he’ll be unstoppable.

Shout out @GladiatorGuards for helping make it through the game with all my teeth and a sack! http://pic.twitter.com/FHks6QF2jS

He’s drawing the eye of many around the league as well.

Oh, I wrote about him today, in case you didn't know. http://bit.ly/2ybJ9RL

— Paul Dehner Jr. (@pauldehnerjr) October 8, 2017

That’s because he’s one of the most consistent defensive ends in the league already.

Other guys that made an impact for their squads on Sunday included Neiko Thorpe, who recovered a fumble for Seattle as they beat the Rams. Cody Parkey got into the action for Miami as they beat Tennessee, making a field goal, but missing an extra point. Karlos Dansby, still ageless, made six tackles for Arizona as they got thumped by Philadelphia. And two former Auburn receiving threats had nice outings — Ricardo Louis caught five passes for 71 yards as the Browns lost to the Jets, and CJ Uzomah got his first start and caught a 21-yard reception for the Bengals in their win over the Bills.

St. Louis man, 97, accuses Bank of America of pilfering $77,000 of his retirement savings

St. Louis man, 97, accuses Bank of America of pilfering $77,000 of his retirement savings

ST. LOUIS • A 97-year-old St. Louis man who ran a jewelry repair shop downtown for decades after emigrating from Hungary believes Bank of America has cheated him out of more than $77,000 of his retirement money.
