RED LAKE - Pine River came to town and it was a fairly close game in the first half, with the Warriors leading 38-26. Rob McClain's shot right at the buzzer from half court was denied, although video footage showed the ball left his hand just before the buzzer went off.

Jamie Cook led all scorers with 34 points, 17 points in each half, Rob McClain, William Morrison and...

The Senate voted 59 to 40 on Wednesday to overturn regulations governing teacher-preparation programs that were approved by the Obama administration late last year. Sen. Ben Sasse, R-Neb., introduced the measure blocking the rules late last week. Senate Joint Resolution 26 had nine other Republican co-sponors, including Sen. Lamar Alexander, R-Tenn., the chairman of the Senate education committee. The House also voted last month to block the rules, approving a resolution introduced by Kentucky Republican Rep. Brett Guthrie, and President...
In their ideological rush to slash red tape, congressional Republicans may end up making it harder for states to get money from Washington to turn around failing schools. Sometimes regulations make it easier, not harder, to comply with the law. The law in question is the Every Student Succeeds Act, the successor to President George W. Bush's No Child Left Behind program. The new law is far less hands-on than the old one, leaving almost all big decisions to the states. It focuses mostly on standards for accountability and transparency, and...
The West Virginia Board of Education decided, in a voice vote with no nays heard Wednesday, to not label entire schools with A-F grades next school year. The move followed a backlash from teachers unions and other groups to the state’s first public release in November of grades from that overwhelmingly standardized-test-based labeling system.

Texas senators on Wednesday took a giant step toward cracking down on teachers who have sex and inappropriate relationships with students, unanimously approving a bill that, among other things, would make school officials who fail to report such conduct subject to criminal charges. The bill by state Sen. Paul Bettencourt, R-Houston, and co-authored by all 30 senators is an attempt to stop what Bettencourt has called a "statewide plague." It will now go to the House for consideration. http://www.dallasnews.com/news/dallas-isd...

National Football League teams violated federal laws governing prescription drugs, disregarded guidance from the Drug Enforcement Administration on how to store, track, transport and distribute controlled substances, and plied their players with powerful painkillers and anti-inflammatories each season, according to sealed court documents contained in a federal lawsuit filed by former players. The sealed material, which was reviewed by the Washington Post, provides a rare look into the league’s relationship with drugs and how team doctors m...
Minnesota chips in generously to help refugees adjust to life in the United States, but these costs make up a small fraction of the overall tab for public assistance programs. Data the state compiled for the Star Tribune show that Minnesota spent more than $180 million in state and federal dollars on cash, food and medical assistance for refugees in 2015, the most recent period available. That’s up 15 percent from five years ago but still less than 2 percent of total expenses for these programs. For state-subsidized child care, however, r...

WASHINGTON – With questions still swirling over President Donald Trump’s unsubstantiated claims that he was wiretapped on orders of President Barack Obama, the Justice Department on Thursday declined to confirm statements a day earlier from the White House that Trump was not the target of a counterintelligence investigation. Officials also said the White House had not relied on any information from the Justice Department in offering a statement denying the existence of an investigation. http://www.startribune.com/justice-dec...
The ground-up tire rubber filling playgrounds in Minnesota and across the country is facing fresh scrutiny in Minneapolis amid growing concerns the bouncy surface contains toxic chemicals. On Friday, the Minneapolis City Council will debate whether the city should use whatever leverage it can to discourage the use of tire mulch on playgrounds and athletic fields. Those decisions are largely left to school and park officials, but some City Council members are so concerned about the potential dangers to Minneapolis residents that they want to...
A Minneapolis police officer is accused of felony charges for allegedly sexually assaulting an unconscious woman with whom he was out drinking ealier that night.

WASHINGTON – The United States is sending an additional 400 troops to Syria to help prepare for the looming fight for Raqqa, the de facto capital of the Islamic State in Iraq and the Levant’s caliphate, U.S. officials said Thursday. The increase, which includes a team of Army Rangers and a Marine artillery unit that have already arrived in the country, appears to represent a near-doubling of the number of U.S. troops in Syria. http://www.startribune.com/u-s-is-sending-400-more-troops-to-syria/415782534/...
Standing Rock protesters are heading to the US capital for four days of demonstrations against the construction of the Dakota Access pipeline and to raise awareness of other issues affecting Native Americans. Activists from indigenous tribes from across America will set up a teepee encampment next to the Washington Monument, before marching on the White House and holding a rally in the city's Lafayette Square on Friday morning. http://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/standing-rock-washington-dc-march-donald-trump-da...
Tipis have sprung up on the National Mall alongside the Washington Monument as Natives and allies converge on the U.S. capital to demand a halt to humans’ collective destruction of our habitat, starting with fossil fuels and pipelines. Indigenous Peoples are flocking to Washington D.C. for four days of events including musical performances, panels and other cultural activities, centered around resistance to the Dakota Access Pipeline (DAPL) as well as to uphold indigenous and treaty rights, and to stand for environmental justice. h...
A federal judge on Tuesday denied a request for a preliminary injunction to block construction of the Dakota Access pipeline (DAPL). The Cheyenne River Sioux Tribe claims that the pipeline, which stretches across tribal lands, threatens Lake Oahe, a sacred water supply used in many tribal religious ceremonies. Thus, the tribe members say, it violates their rights under the Religious Freedom Restoration Act (RFRA). https://rewire.news/article/2017/03/08/federal-court-rules-tribes-waited-long-raise-religious-objections-dapl/...
The question of who belongs to a Native American tribe or community is one that’s become hotly debated in recent years. With many people moving off of reservations, marrying outside of their tribes, and, with an epidemic of disenrollment from tribes nationwide, many tribes are grappling with how they’re going to ensure their own longevity. http://kjzz.org/content/445837/conference-bring-together-native-americans-discuss-disenrollment...
By all counts, the first Puyallup Tribal Medical Marijuana Symposium was a great success.

The forum was hosted by Puyallup Chairman Bill Sterud and Tribal Council, members present being David Bean, Tim Reynon and Annette Bryan. The guest panel consisted of Dr. Alan Shelton, MD, Medical Director at Puyallup Tribal Health...

Secretary of State Rex Tillerson staked his position on human rights – and by extension on indigenous rights – pretty clearly on March 3 when he failed to deliver the United States’ Annual Country Reports on Human Rights Practices in person. Whether intentional or not, Tillerson’s disinterest couldn’t have done much to impress Victoria Tauli-Corpuz, in Washington, D.C. last week to wrap up and report to the United Nations Human Rights Council on her 10 days of meetings with tribal and U.S. government agencies on the impact of extractiv...
