China announces naval exercise amid Japan tensions
BEIJING (AP) -- China says its navy will hold a deep-water training exercise amid a continuing spat with Japan over disputed islands in the East China Sea.
The Defense Ministry said Wednesday that the exercise would take place in the Pacific, beyond where the islands are located, and where deep waters are ideal for anti-submarine drills. The exercises reflect China's long-held aspirations to build a navy that can operate far from its shores.
Ships taking part in such exercises before have passed just north of the disputed islands, which lie midway between Taiwan and the Japanese island of Okinawa. Training takes place farther out to sea, although the exact location is not announced.
Both sides recently have scrambled jet fighters and confronted each others patrol boats in tensions over the uninhabited islands.

Rogers County holds off on certifying tax election
May 22, 2013 12:30 GMT
CLAREMORE, Okla. (AP) -- The Rogers County Election Board has voted to not certify results of a recent sales tax election after a resident filed a complaint alleging the county didn't give proper legal notice of the election.
Voters in Rogers County approved a 1-cent sales tax during a May 14 election. But a resident filed a challenge to the election results, saying the county didn't properly publish a legal notice of the election in a county newspaper before the vote.
The Claremore Daily Progress reports (http://bit.ly/13HOCr8 ) that the election board voted Tuesday to not certify the election results until after a hearing is held next week on the complaint. The hearing is set for May 28 before District Judge Dwayne Steidley.
