Confidence dips in May but growth outlook stays strong
The Conference Board says consumer confidence fell to 135.2 in May from 137.2 in April, still near the 29 year high of 137.4 seen in February. Analysts note cooling expectations may curb spending as NA Realtors reports April existing home sales down 2.5 percent, while stocks slide and long term yields drop.

Students Return to School After Oregon Rampage Tragedy
In Springfield Oregon hundreds of Thurston High students returned to class to honor victims Mikael Nickolausen and Ben Walker. Desks remained empty for the dead and wounded as counselors offered support. Principal Larry Bentz noted most of the student body attended amid memorials and a special safe room setup. Nickolausen, buried with military honors after enlisting in the National Guard, was remembered as a quiet computer fan. Kip Kinkel’s shooting prompted a campus-wide reflection on resilience and care.
