OPEC members skip price hike amid internal oil war
Nine OPEC producers forego a planned July 1 price increase, while Libya and Iraq are not named in the notice, signaling a split in the cartel over pricing. Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates may raise prices to maintain parity, potentially offsetting the move.

Court upholds ruling on Burns
State Superior Court stands by its order allowing orthopedic surgeon John T. Duras to practice in Lawrence County. The court refused to roll back the injunction against Burns and requires a $50,000 bond before he can resume his New Castle office. Burns, from Wampum, left the Associates in March and started his own practice in April, prompting a breach-of-contract suit and injunction. The injunction was suspended by Judge Van der Voort until the September Superior Court argument.
