Google is asking that a federal judge, rather than a jury, decide whether it violated U.S. antitrust laws by building a monopoly on the technology that powers online advertising. To bolster its case, the tech giant said Thursday in a court filing it wrote a multimillion-dollar check to the U.S. government that Google says moots the government’s best argument for demanding a jury trial. The antitrust case currently set to go before a jury in Virginia in September is one of two major lawsuits the Justice Department has brought against Google.

A key Boeing supplier that makes the fuselages for its popular 737 Max airplanes is laying off about 450 workers. That's because production has slowed down ever since a panel flew off one of those airplanes operated by Alaska Airlines in midair in January. A spokesman for Spirit AeroSystems confirmed the layoffs at its Wichita, Kansas, plant on Thursday that would trim its workforce of just over 13,000 people. Spirit is Boeing’s most important supplier on the 737s because it makes fuselages and installs door plugs like the one that flew off the plane. But it’s not clear whether Spirit or Boeing employees were the last ones to touch that panel.

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.
