WASHINGTON – Russia carried out a comprehensive cyber campaign to sabotage the U.S. presidential election, an operation that was ordered by Russian President Vladimir Putin and ultimately sought to help elect Donald Trump, U.S. intelligence agencies concluded in a remarkably blunt assessment released Friday. The report depicts Russian interference as unprecedented in scale, saying that Moscow’s role represented “a significant escalation in directness, level of activity, and scope of effort” beyond previous election-related espionage. The cam...
Three people were shot in downtown Minneapolis early Saturday morning and one is in critical condition, according to Minneapolis police. Minneapolis officers working off-duty near 3rd Street North and 1st Avenue North just before 2 a.m. located two adults suffering from gunshot wounds. A man was shot multiple times and was transported to Hennepin County Medical Center (HCMC), where he was in critical condition. A woman was treated at HCMC for non-life threatening wounds.

Senate Deputy Majority Leader Michelle Benson delivered a blunt message Friday to nonprofit leaders seeking state funding: Be prepared to prove your worth. “When it comes to accessing public dollars, you will want to work really hard to prove what you’ve already done with the dollars you’ve already been given, whether it’s public dollars or private dollars,” said Benson, R-Ham Lake. “Be ready to deliver accountability.” Benson was one of several state politicians on both sides of the aisle to address more than 200 nonprofit leaders Frida...
Delta Air Lines canceled and delayed flights Friday as it grappled with a deadly shooting at its terminal in Fort Lauderdale, Fla., and a winter storm at its biggest hub in Atlanta. Flight disruptions persisted for the remainder of the day after a gunman opened fire in the baggage claim area at Terminal 2 of the Fort Lauderdale airport, killing five people and wounding eight before being arrested. No Delta employees were harmed, the airline said, but it sent a care team to the Florida station to assist families and friends of customers and...
Gov. Mark Dayton and GOP legislative leaders volleyed competing, big-ticket spending proposals Thursday that if enacted would deliver tax cuts to farmers and families paying for child care, and provide quick financial assistance to people facing steep premium hikes on their health insurance. Combined, the proposals by the DFL governor and Republicans who control the Legislature would cost the state $600 million — about $300 million each. Coming in the first week of the session, they set an early framework for negotiations and possible c...

FM radio broadcasting was invented in the United States in 1933. After a slow start, it became wildly popular all around the world, largely because the frequency modulation technology used offered better sound quality than the existing amplitude modulation (AM) transmissions. But the era of FM radio may be coming to an end. After more than 60 years of using the system, Norway is set to become the first country in the world to turn off its FM radio network - and others may soon be following its example. http://www.startribune...
Senior Republicans are giving Donald Trump the benefit of the doubt that he’ll make Moscow pay a price for hacking the 2016 U.S. presidential campaign, yet the president-elect may face a rift with members of his own party if policies against Russia don’t change. In an interview with NBC’s “Meet the Press,” Sen. Lindsey Graham of South Carolina said he and Sen. John McCain of Arizona plan to introduce legislation for tougher sanctions against Russia, hitting the country in the financial and energy sectors “where they’re the weakest.” Gra...
MEXICO CITY – Amid nationwide marches, highway blockades and looting stemming from widespread outrage over an increase in gas prices, President Enrique Peña Nieto of Mexico went on national television to appeal for understanding. With international oil prices rising and Mexico dependent on gasoline imports, he argued in the speech Thursday that the government had no alternative but to raise prices at the pump. “Here I ask you,” he said, gesturing at the camera, “What would you have done?” It did not take long for him to get an answer, as...
IAN'AN, China — An overloaded coal truck rumbles down from the steel factory and hits a bump, sending chunks of its black cargo skittering and click-clicking along the asphalt. Waiting by the roadside, a farmer swaddled in thick, cotton-padded winter clothing scrambles into onrushing traffic to pick up the pieces. Four hours a day, four days a week, the villager, whose surname is Shen, comes to a spot near her home where a never-ending procession of coal trucks runs into uneven pavement. A thousand little bumps in the road keep Shen and her h...
Two people were shot shortly after bar closing time Sunday in downtown Minneapolis, with one of the victims dying from his wounds, according to authorities. Five people were shot in downtown in 24 hours over the weekend, police said, and at least nine have been wounded by gunfire citywide since the start of the year. Police have yet to release any of the victims’ identities but an Indiana woman on Sunday said the man who died was her brother, William Irvin, 35, of St. Paul. http://www.startribune.com/man-fatally-shot-after-b...
Two Metro Transit police officers approached a young woman who was spread across several seats while sleeping on an eastbound Green Line train one evening last month. A bulging plastic bag served as a makeshift pillow, and her coat was pulled defensively about her slight frame. One officer gently tapped her snow boots. “Are you OK?” he asked. “Do you have somewhere to go?” http://www.startribune.com/metro-transit-tries-new-ways-to-handle-sleepers-on-trains-buses/410035585/...
CAMARILLO, Calif. — The average price of regular-grade gasoline has surged 12 cents nationally over the past three weeks, to $2.38 a gallon. Industry analyst Trilby Lundberg said Sunday the hike mostly results from the gasoline market catching up with rising crude oil costs. Lundberg says the current price is 33 cents a gallon above what it was one year ago. http://www.startribune.com/us-gas-prices-jump-12-cents-over-3-weeks-to-2-38-a-gallon/410022955/...
BELGRADE, Serbia — Blizzards and dangerously low temperatures persisted in parts of Europe on Sunday, prompting Pope Francis to draw attention to the homeless suffering in freezing weather. In Serbia, aid workers scrambled to help hundreds of migrants sleeping rough in parks and makeshift shelters. The extreme winter weather that has gripped Europe in the past days has caused more than a dozen deaths, left villages cut off, caused power and water outages, frozen rivers and lakes, grounded flights and led to road accidents. Serbia's a...
Billionaire investor Carl Icahn will have the ear of President-elect Donald Trump as an adviser focused on cutting government regulations. But Icahn also stands to benefit if his advice is taken: It could make the energy companies and others in which he has a stake more profitable. Trump’s daughter Ivanka, who’s a major figure in her father’s business, has been present at transition meetings and is expected to continue to counsel him at the White House. So, too, is her husband, Jared Kushner, who has a web of business interests of his own t...
Minnesota’s standard walleye limit of six fish per license holder could shrink for the first time in 60 years under a review that’s in its infancy at the state Department of Natural Resources (DNR), a state fisheries manager told a large gathering of anglers Friday. “There seems to be some momentum out there right now for reduced bag limits,” said Brad Parsons, central region fisheries manager. Parsons was one of several speakers at the annual DNR Roundtable conference to highlight changes in fishing culture, technology and regulation. The day...
A Ramapough Lenape tribe has put up a small colony of tents and tepees sit on a plot of land the tribe owns in Mahwah, NJ along the Ramapo River to protest an oil pipeline that is expected to run through northern New Jersey, reports NorthJersey.com. The Township of Mahwah has issued the tribe court summonses for allegedly violated zoning law by not seeking a permit to build on land deemed a conservation and flood zone. The tribe was also cited for allegedly moving soil without permission. A court date is set for January 26. Coalition Against...
A North Dakota senator who was vocal in his support of the Dakota Access Pipeline (DAPL) and called for an increased federal response to stop the peaceful pipeline protesters has been named the new chairman of the U.S. Senate Committee on Indian Affairs, according to Mic. Senator John Hoeven, a republican and former governor of North Dakota, said in a statement on Thursday that he was honored to serve in his new role and looked forward to working with other members of the committee “to pass legislation that helps improve the lives of people a...
It’s a sight common on numerous reservations: junked vehicles lying strewn about. On the Fort Peck Indian Reservation, though, the bulk of the problem has been solved, thanks to an agreement between a company named High Plains Motors, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, and the Fort Peck Tribes. While it may be rare for violations regarding hazardous-waste disposal to result in positive outcomes, Fort Peck is turning out to be an exception. The settlement hinges on not only penalizing an automotive service center that had improperly d...
Since 1984, The Confederated Tribes of Grand Ronde has published a tribal newspaper called Smoke Signals, but it was on December 28, 2016 that the Grand Ronde Tribal Council joined an increasing number of other Native American Tribes nationwide to adopt an Independent Press Ordinance. The ordinance goes into effect in mid-January and will codify that the tribal news publication has the independence to report Grand Ronde Tribe news objectively and free from undue political influence by tribal elected officials. Though the Grand Ronde Tribal Cons...
WASHINGTON – Of five states with recreational marijuana on the ballot this fall, Arizona was the only state where the initiative failed, after supporters ran into a well-funded opposition campaign backed by political heavyweights. But that hasn’t stopped marijuana advocates from looking ahead and predicting legalization – either through a rematch at the polls or a push through the Legislature. “We expected that the political elite would be against” legalizing marijuana, said Carlos Alfaro, Arizona political director for the Marijuana Policy Pr...
The world of the polar bear is shrinking—everywhere. New research by scientists in the U.S. confirms that each of the 19 known populations of Ursus maritimus is increasingly affected by the earlier sea ice melt in the Arctic spring, and the later arrival of ice every autumn. The finding is hardly a shock, as there have been warnings from conservationists about such things for years, with the polar bear becoming an icon of climate change concerns. And in most cases of species threat there are winners as well as losers. But the latest s...
MINOT, NORTH DAKOTA— Sheriff Steve Kukowski of Ward County, North Dakota was suspended in June 2016 by former North Dakota Governor Jack Dalrymple after Kukowski was charged with three misdemeanors stemming from the death of an American Indian male inmate. Now, the Ward County wants their sheriff back on the job. http://nativenewsonline.net/currents/north-dakota-county-wants-sheriff-back-job-even-though-failed-seek-proper-care-american-indian-inmate/...
