A team of University of Minnesota scientists thinks it has figured out how to keep invasive carp from migrating up the Mississippi River: Blow them back with jets of water and freak them out with loud noises, air bubbles and underwater lights. With preliminary blessings from state and federal agencies, they’re looking for money to put their idea into action. “Do we just wait for the Asian carp to invade?” asked Prof. Peter Sorensen, who heads the team. “That’s kind of what’s happening now.” http://www.startribune.com/minneso...
SEOUL, South Korea — North Korea on Monday issued its latest belligerent threat, warning of an indiscriminate "pre-emptive nuclear strike of justice" on Washington and Seoul, this time in reaction to the start of huge U.S.-South Korean military drills. Such threats have been a staple of young North Korean leader Kim Jong Un since he took power after his dictator father's death in December 2011. But they spike especially when Washington and Seoul stage what they call annual defensive springtime war games. Pyongyang says the drills, which were s...
FLINT, Mich. — Ratcheting up the rancor, Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders tangled aggressively in a Democratic presidential debate Sunday night over trade, Wall Street influence and more, with Clinton accusing him of turning his back on the auto industry and Sanders countering that Clinton's friends on Wall Street had "destroyed this economy." It was a marked change in tone for the two Democrats, signaling Sanders' increasingly difficult effort to slow the party's front-runner. Both candidates frequently interrupted one another and accused e...

Out of the 93 democratic caucus locations in the state of Nebraska, only one was hosted on a Native American reservation. LaMere says it's an...
Niki Ashton, member of Parliament for Churchill — Keewatinook Aski, is calling on the federal government to invest in First Nations youth following a rash of suicides on Manitoba's Pimicikamak Cree Nation. "We do have a new government and we've heard, certainly, pronouncements and interest in working with First Nations youth but I think it's important that we be honest: We haven't seen commitments in terms of funding or investment," she said. Four teenagers have died by suicide in three months in the remote community. The youngest victim was a...
Advocates for the Affordable Care Act argue that health care is a basic human right, but Native Americans and American Indians here in Oklahoma say this principle is often forgotten. For most Americans, the wait time to see a doctor is nearly 20 minutes, according to a recent study. Oklahoma State University student Spencer Bright, who is a member of the Creek Tribe, has a different experience. He said that one time, his cousin needed medicine for a migraine, but it was nearly 12 hours until they had seen the doctor and received medication....

The youths were in the city for a few days to take in the hockey game.
