WASHINGTON – Only two days after the election, President Obama sat by President-elect Donald Trump's side and declared that the No. 1 priority in his last days would be ensuring a smooth transition of power. What Obama did not say was that he also intended to set up as many policy and ideological roadblocks as possible before Trump takes over. With less than three weeks left in the White House, the president is using every power at his disposal to cement his legacy and establish his priorities. http://www.startribune.com/oba...
PALM BEACH, Fla. — President-elect Donald Trump says that "no computer is safe" when it comes to keeping information private, expressing new skepticism about the security of online communications his administration is likely to use for everything from day-to-day planning to international relations. Trump rarely uses email or computers, despite his frequent tweeting. "You know, if you have something really important, write it out and have it delivered by courier, the old-fashioned way," Trump told reporters during his annual New Year's Eve b...
SALT LAKE CITY — Native Americans who have long bemoaned their lack of participation in federal land decisions scored a major victory when President Barack Obama designated a new national monument in Utah that gives five tribes an opportunity to weigh in on the management of their ancestral home. But federal bureaucrats working under President-elect Donald Trump's cabinet appointees will still have the final say on all land decisions, and some tribal officials are concerned that the shared-management arrangement could quickly sour if the i...
Sylvia Hilgeman grew up no-frills on a farm in Red Lake County in northwest Minnesota, where flat fields are broken by steel grain bins, stands of aspen and abandoned farmhouses. Her dad cultivated rented land and her mom raised cattle and milked cows at a neighboring farm to help pay the bills. They raised their children in a double-wide mobile home across a gravel driveway from her great-uncle’s homestead. “My parents, they worked harder than anyone I’ve ever met,” Hilgeman said. http://www.startribune.com/opportunity-grow...
The Buffalo School Board voted 6 to 2 on Thursday to call on the state education commissioner to remove Carl P. Paladino from office, a decision made amid the rallying cry of thousands of people outraged by controversial remarks he made about President Barack Obama and the first lady. A resolution approved by the board Thursday calls on Paladino to resign within 24 hours, or else the board will appeal to Commissioner MaryEllen Elia. Paladino, who has said he will not resign, was not at the meeting. https://buffalonews.com/20...
The former principal of the Academy of Dover Charter could face decades in prison after being charged with embezzling $5,000 of federal money from the institution, the U.S. attorney for Delaware announced Thursday. Noel Rodriguez, 55, was indicted on four counts of federal program theft, accused of taking money or property from 2011 to 2014, the U.S. attorney's office said. During that time, the school received over $10,000 in federal funding annually from the U.S. Department of Education, which is the "basis for the federal program theft...
Gov. Dannel P. Malloy's administration announced $50 million in new cuts in state aid to municipalities Thursday, including a $20 million reduction in education funding that local officials said could result in school layoffs. The announcement comes as a bitter New Year's gift for financially hard-pressed cities and towns that are already halfway through their fiscal and school years. Administration officials said the cuts had to be made now to achieve the savings goals included in the current 2016-17 state budget. Malloy's budget chief, Ben...
BEMIDJI—As of Sunday, Minnesota will have a primary structure to coincide with its caucus system in determining presidential candidates, as new legislation passed in May takes effect.

ST. PAUL—Preferred One dropped out. So did UCare. Blue Cross Blue Shield stopped offering its regular policies. Medica says it no longer will supply insurance for a state-run health insurance program. "We almost lost all of the private insurers over the summer," Democratic Gov. Mark Dayton said. Minnesota Commerce Commissioner Mike Rothman says the trend may continue, offering the prospect of no health insurance policies being available for private purchase late in 2017 unless state legislators take action. http://www.bemidj...

WASHINGTON — As Barack Obama began preparing to leave office, the first smartphone-toting U.S. president ordered his team to upgrade the White House's aging technology for his successor. New computers were purchased and faster internet was installed. Not included in the modernization plans? A courier service. But that delivery method of a bygone era may be in for a comeback under Donald Trump. Despite his voracious use of Twitter, the president-elect appears to be leaning toward old tech to ensure the security of sensitive messages. h...
Minnesota law enforcement agencies continue to keep the use of controversial cellphone tracking devices secret more than two years after the Legislature passed a bill demanding that warrants authorizing their use be made public. That bill became state law after public outcry pushed lawmakers to require that police warrants seeking to use KingFish and StingRay devices be unsealed after 90 days, with few exceptions. The Legislature also required that targets of the warrants be notified after the need for the surveillance had ended. The devices...
He wore white high tops, white jeans, a white T-shirt and an off-white winter cap. By the time visitors were allowed to enter the locker room on Sunday afternoon, his equipment bag was packed. On what might have been his last meaningful day as a Viking, Adrian Peterson conferred with a team staffer, donned a furry coat that paid homage to the disco era and walked, alone, toward a back exit. He did not conduct interviews. Minutes later, veteran linebacker Chad Greenway, who played with Peterson his entire career, would speak of savoring the...

During a New Year's Day football game between the Minnesota Vikings and Chicago Bears, two protestors posted a gigantic banner urging U.S. Bank to divest from the Dakota Access pipeline at the U.S. Bank Stadium in Minneapolis.

Zimmermann is wearing a Brett Farve (No. 33) jersey. A press release for the two protestors stated that the impetus for the...
The most compelling action during Sundays matchup between the Minnesota Vikings and the Chicago Bears at U.S. Bank stadium didn't occur on the field, but rather in the rafters. Two peaceful protestors hung a large banner in the stadium that called for U.S. Bank, which sponsors the Vikings’ stadium, to divest from the Dakota Access Pipeline (DAPL). The Banner read "US Bank, DIVEST, #NoDAPL." http://www.attn.com/stories/13959/breaking-these-protesters-just-used-football-make-point...
