Recovered artifacts include chimney bricks and musket balls that were indented with soldiers’ teeth. The site is on the property of Colonial Williamsburg, a living history museum that announced the discovery this week. Maps and documents from the time of the American Revolution reference a barracks built for the Continental army. The structure was designed to accommodate up to 2,000 soldiers. The barracks were thought to be burned down by British troops marching to the Battle of Yorktown, which they famously lost.
North Carolina interim chancellor Lee Roberts publicly backed athletics director Bubba Cunningham on Thursday. That came three days after the school’s board of trustees approved an audit of the athletics department due to financial concerns growing amid the volatile landscape of college sports. Roberts also said the athletics department has been audited 10 times in the past five years, as well as annually by the NCAA. Trustees earlier this week expressed concern about revenues in a time of conference realignment. That includes the Atlantic Coast Conference falling further behind the Big Ten and Southeastern Conference in payouts to member schools.
Tiger Woods fired a 1-over par 72 during the opening round of the PGA Championship. The 15-time major champion faltered late. He was 1-under heading into his final two holes before a pair of three-putts led to bogeys that pushed him into plus territory. Woods arrived at Valhalla having not played since his last-place finish at the Masters last month. The 48-year-old Woods says it took him a few holes to get the competitive juices flowing. When he arrives at the course for the second round he will try to avoid missing the cut for the fourth time in his last seven visits to the PGA.
U.S. Census Bureau estimates show America's Northeast and Midwest cities are rebounding slightly from years of population drops, highlighted by modest growth in Detroit after decades of declines. Government figures released Thursday show Detroit saw its population grow for the first time in decades, rising by 1,852 people to 633,218 inhabitants last year. That is a milestone for Detroit, which had 1.8 million residents in the 1950s only to see its population plummet afterward. Meanwhile, Census Bureau estimates show 13 of the 15 fastest-growing cities in the U.S. were in the South last year, eight of them in Texas alone.
