The nation’s largest packaged-food companies, including General Mills, should see strong cash flows this year as cost-cutting programs finally pay off, ratings agency Moody’s said in a new report. Food manufacturers have seen their sales slowly drop over the last several years as consumers increasingly shun processed and packaged foods in favor of fresher foods. http://www.startribune.com/general-mills-other-major-food-companies-to-see-fruits-of-cost-cutting-programs-this-year/413466623/...
SURIGAO, Philippines — A powerful nighttime earthquake in the southern Philippines killed at least six people and injured more than 120, with officials combing through cracked buildings and nearby towns Saturday to check on the damage and other possible casualties. The magnitude 6.7 quake roused residents from their sleep late Friday in Surigao del Norte province, forcing hundreds of people to flee their homes. The quake was centered about 16 kilometers (8 miles) northwest of the provincial capital of Surigao at a relatively shallow depth of 1...
U.S. immigration authorities launched a series of raids, traffic stops and checkpoints in at least half a dozen states across the country on Thursday and Friday, sweeping up an unknown number of undocumented immigrants, immigration lawyers and advocates said. The raids, which appeared to target scores of undocumented immigrants, including those without criminal records, mark the first large-scale episode of immigration enforcement inside the United States since President Donald Trump’s Jan. 26 order to crack down on the estimated 11 million i...

A nationwide injunction that has kept transgender students from using school bathrooms and other facilities that correspond with their gender identity will remain in place after the Trump administration decided not to challenge it in court. The move, announced Friday, ended an effort mounted by the Obama administration after the order was announced last year. The injunction was issued in August by Judge Reed O’Connor of the Federal District Court for the Northern District of Texas as part of a lawsuit filed by more than a dozen states over t...
AT&T retirees Nancy Pickett and Kimberly Harrington opened a small vocational training school last August, thinking they had the perfect location on Wyoming Street in northwest Detroit. Pickett and Harrington's Phlebotomy Express Training Center is across the street from Mumford High School, which they thought would give them a pipeline to recruit recent graduates with the promise of $15-an-hour jobs drawing blood in medical facilities. http://www.crainsdetroit.com/article/20170212/NEWS/170219968/school-closings-come-with-ec...
ST. PAUL—When Lee Carlson entered his career in public education nearly 30 years ago, aspiring teachers could expect to compete with hundreds of other applicants hoping to work in a Minnesota classroom. Carlson described a "gauntlet" of applications and interviews before landing a job in St. James, a small town about 40 miles southwest of Mankato, where he still teaches high school English. http://www.woodburybulletin.com/news/4215817-rural-schools-lead-minnesota-teacher-shortage...
OROVILLE, Calif. — Nearly 200,000 people remained under evacuation orders Monday as California authorities try to fix erosion of the emergency spillway at the nation's tallest dam that could unleash uncontrolled flood waters if it fails. About 150 miles northeast of San Francisco, Lake Oroville — one of California's largest man-made lakes — had water levels so high that an emergency spillway was used Saturday for the first time in almost 50 years. http://www.startribune.com/nearly-200-000-remain-under-evacuation-near-califor...
For the second time in recent weeks, a water outage in Blaine is causing schools to close and city officials to recommend residents boil any water they consume. Residents noticed a lack of water pressure about 5 p.m. Sunday. By 8:30 p.m., the city’s website reported that officials were “conducting an investigation into the drop in water pressure most citizens experienced tonight.” http://www.startribune.com/blaine-schools-are-closed-monday-after-water-pressure-problems-return/413552103/...
President Donald Trump's repeated vows to punish companies that move jobs overseas have alarmed some top Minnesota executives, who find themselves bracing to see how a brash, unfiltered presidential style could upend cautious corporate decisionmaking in a global economy. As a candidate and now as president, Trump promised to impose tariffs on companies that move jobs offshore. He has offered unspecified tax advantages for creating new employment in the U.S. http://www.startribune.com/trump-s-trade-talk-rattles-minnesota-corp...

The Rev. Al Sharpton and a trio of prominent activists appeared in a Minneapolis church basement in January with a somewhat surprising message: Keep menthol cigarettes legal. Their visit was sponsored by Reynolds American Inc., the parent company of cigarette brands like Newport that are popular with black smokers and a financial backer of Sharpton’s National Action Network. Several of the activists argued that banning menthol cigarettes would create an underground market for the product and a new reason for police to stop and search young b...
Minneapolis city leaders created an official group Friday to advise the City Council and Park Board on matters related to the transgender community. The new Transgender Equity Council is part of an ongoing city effort to identify disparities and work more closely with community members. The city launched an annual Trans Equity Summit in 2014 and formed a transgender issues work group that same year. http://www.startribune.com/minneapolis-establishes-transgender-equity-council-to-advise-city-council-park-board/413533053/...
JOHANNESBURG – In Somalia, the farm animals are dying. The water holes have dried up. The crops have failed. With no food, water or money, people are trudging off their land, taking the long, dry walk to the nearest town to look for help. A two-year drought - the worst since the 1970s in hard-hit northern Somalia - has seen three quarters of the country’s livestock perish, leaving pastoralists destitute. In the south, much of which is controlled by al-Qaida-linked extremist group al-Shabab, the situation is almost as grim. htt...
PYONGYANG, North Korea — The United States, Japan and South Korea have requested urgent diplomatic talks at the United Nations on Monday over North Korea's latest ballistic missile launch, with Seoul condemning what it called "serious military and security threats" and predicting more such tests. A spokesman for the U.S. Mission to the United Nations said Sunday night that the meeting is expected to take place Monday. The spokesman spoke on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to speak publicly. http://www.st...
CANNONBALL RIVER, N.D. – Five people who did not know one another a few months ago stood around a campfire talking with passion, wit and pain about how they came to live together here in the cold. Somebody put bacon in a skillet. The temperature was 17 degrees. “In weather like this,” explained the Kentucky man, “you need to keep your calories up.” Not that anyone seemed cold. http://www.startribune.com/as-protesters-break-camp-at-standing-rock-they-speak-of-what-brought-them-together/413501093/...
CANNON BALL, N.D. — The main camp here, once home to thousands of Native Americans and their allies who gathered to protest the completion of the Dakota Access crude-oil pipeline, is quickly turning into a gooey pit of mud. Unseasonably warm weather over the weekend melted giant mounds of snow, and many of the remaining 200 or so pipeline protesters — self-described “water protectors” — are gathering their possessions and making plans to get off the 80-acre property, which sits in a flood zone near the Missouri River. The rising waters, a...

For the first time in Saskatchewan, a newly elected First Nation band council has voluntarily undertaken drug and alcohol tests, in a bid to tackle social issues in the community head-on. The chief and councillors at the Waterhen Lake First Nation, who were elected in December, wanted to take a proactive stance on issues such as substance abuse and addiction, and set a good example for their members, said Dustin Ross Fiddler, one of the new members of council. http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/saskatoon/waterhen-lake-first-natio...
Thunder Bay police say they have arrested an 18-year-old male for allegedly throwing a trailer hitch, from a moving car, at an Indigenous woman. “I didn’t expect it to come like that. It came real hard and fast and it was heavy,” said Barbara Kentner describing the violent act recently on a Thunder Bay street. http://aptnnews.ca/2017/02/06/arrest-made-in-connection-to-thunder-bay-woman-hit-with-trailer-hitch/...
