A jury in Texas on Wednesday ordered Facebook Inc., its virtual reality unit Oculus and other defendants to pay a combined $500 million to ZeniMax Media Inc., a video game publisher that says Oculus stole its technology. The jury in federal court in Dallas found Oculus, which Facebook acquired for about $2 billion in 2014, used ZeniMax’s computer code to launch the Rift virtual-reality headset. ZeniMax alleges that video game designer John Carmack developed core parts of the Rift’s technology while working at a ZeniMax subsidiary. Oculus hir...
How do you turn around poor-performing schools? You address the social and emotional needs of students. You give teachers and principals more power to control their schools. You hire the best people to lead classrooms and schools. And you plan ... a lot. These were some of the ideas experts shared during a summit held tonight at King High School in Detroit — a summit planned by officials with the Detroit Public Schools Community District and the Education Achievement Authority. About 200 people — a mix of parents, teachers, principals and adm...
In a verdict met with surprise and relief, a Hennepin County jury convicted Allen “Lance” Scarsella of felony first-degree assault and riot charges Wednesday in the November 2015 shooting of five people at a north Minneapolis protest. The jury deliberated for seven hours following two weeks of testimony from nearly two dozen witnesses — including surprise testimony from Scarsella and a co-defendant — before returning guilty verdicts on all counts. They watched several videos taken before and after the shooting, including ones of Scarsel...

Lindsay Cardinal was the mother of three children who were the center of her world. She also was a mother to many in the communities surrounding her Foreston home — the type of person who went the extra mile to care for those in need.

"She was a matriarch in every phase of the word." http://www.startribune.com/foreston-mom-of-3-killed-in-head-on-crash/412393663/...
WASHINGTON – As tensions rise in the U.S. Senate over President Donald Trump’s nominations, Sen. Al Franken on Wednesday sparred repeatedly with Sen. John Cornyn in a Judiciary Committee hearing as the Minnesota senator tried to criticize Cornyn’s fellow Republican and Texas Sen. Ted Cruz. Franken has been a critic of the Republican attorney general nominee, Sen. Jeff Sessions, and is planning to vote against him. At a hearing last month, Franken confronted Sessions about a questionnaire the Alabama senator filled out as AG nominee, with Frank...

CANNON BALL, NORTH DAKOTA – Some 76 water protectors were arrested on Wednesday, February 1, 2017 when they refused to leave a new encampment that was erected this week. Water protectors have been looking for new places to establish camps because the Oceti Sakowin, the largest camp at Standing Rock, is in a flood plain.

Iron Eyes, an attorney, ran for unsuccessfully for C...

The Morton County Sheriff's Office says the camp, near the Standing Rock Sioux reservation, was on private property owned by the pipeline developer.

Donald J. Trump has been called a lot of things. A bigot. A misogynist. A racist. And I agree with these descriptions of the new president. He’s earned those titles, especially given all he has spewed over the decades about women and racial minorities, and just about anyone he disagrees with, or who disagree with him. But Mr. Trump is also unoriginal. https://indiancountrymedianetwork.com/culture/social-issues/moya-smith-right-now-trump-acting-like-founding-fathers-hitler/...
On Tuesday, January 24, Donald Trump signed presidential memorandums to revive the controversial Keystone XL and Dakota Access oil pipelines—two major dirty oil and fracking pipelines halted by the Obama administration after massive resistance from indigenous, climate and other public interest groups, including food activists. As indigenous leader Winona LaDuke pointed out (article link below) Trump’s push to revive these climate and environmentally destructive pipelines amount to nothing less than a “Declaration of War.” Within 24 hours o...

That’s thanks to a $15 million settlement agreement approved in federal court in Richmond this week, one of the largest of its kind in history. If you’ve watched much late night TV, you’ve probably come across a commercial like this. http://wvtf.org/post/15-million-settlement-tribe-hire-scam#stream/0...
Republican President Donald Trump is striving to maintain the conservative lean of the U.S. Supreme Court by filling a vacancy left by the death of Justice Antonin Scalia. But Trump's nominee for the nation's highest court, announced from the White House on Tuesday night, has fared much better on Indian matters than Scalia ever did. Neil Gorsuch, a federal appeals court judge, has sided with Indian interests in several key cases, bringing a more favorable record to the table than the conservative legal hero he stands to replace....

The younger Baca, who The New Mexican is not identifying because he is a juvenile, is a student at Española Valley High School and a member of the b...
