New studies of old dogs help scientists understand where they came from

AP News NEW YORK (AP) — Using the oldest dog genes studied so far, scientists are finding more evidence that our furry friends have been our companions for thousands of years.

Scientists think dogs descended from an ancient population of gray wolves somewhere in Europe or Asia. Tens of thousands of years ago, those wolves got used to living with people and became less aggressive. As they became domesticated, their genes shifted along with their behavior, giving rise to the pups we know today.

But exactly when and where this happened remains a mystery. Scientists are studying...

Here's what you need to know about each of the 16 women's teams left in March Madness

AP News This could be a familiar Final Four in the women’s NCAA Tournament.

UConn, South Carolina, UCLA and Texas reached the Final Four last year. They’re the top four seeds this season. And they’ve all won convincingly through the first two rounds of this tournament.

That creates the possibility of the first repeat Final Four since 1996, when Tennessee, UConn, Georgia and Stanford all made the national semifinals for a second straight year. UConn captured the title in 1995, while Tennessee won it all in 1996.

Stocks and oil prices keep yo-yoing on uncertainty about when the war with Iran will end

AP News NEW YORK (AP) — Hopes for a possible end to the war with Iran are pushing stocks higher again on Wall Street Wednesday, while oil prices ease.

The S&P 500 rose 0.6% in its latest flip - flop after the United States delivered a plan to pause the war to Iran. The Dow Jones Industrial Average was up 290 points, or 0.6%, as of 11:45 a.m. Eastern time, and the Nasdaq composite was 0.8% higher.

But the moves are shaky, and the S&P 500 during the morning briefly came close to erasing all of an early 1.2% jump. Financial markets have swung sharply since the war began more...

Prime Minister Carney says Air Canada CEO's English-only condolences lacked compassion

AP News TORONTO (AP) — Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney said Wednesday the Air Canada CEO’s English-only message of condolence after Sunday’s deadly crash in New York showed a lack of compassion and judgement.

Air Canada CEO Michael Rousseau is being summoned to testify at Parliament’s official languages committee after he shared a four-minute condolence video online that only included two French words — “bonjour” and “merci.”

Antoine Forest, one of the two pilots killed in the crash at LaGuardia airport, was a French-speaking Quebecer.
