Minnesota legislators are looking at offering new rebates as financial incentive for consumers considering electric or plug-in hybrid cars. “It’s justified to have an early investment by the state to kick-start that market,” said Brendan Jordan, head of Drive Electric Minnesota, a coalition that aims to increase the number of electric vehicles. http://www.startribune.com/minnesota-legislators-buzzing-with-electric-plug-in-hybrid-car-rebate/373791751/...
WASHINGTON — The extraordinary legal fight pitting the Obama administration against technology giant Apple Inc. ended unexpectedly after the FBI said it used a mysterious method without Apple's help to hack into a California mass shooter's iPhone. Left unanswered, however, were questions about how the sudden development would affect privacy in the future, and what happens the next time the government is frustrated by digital security lockout features. http://www.startribune.com/us-hacks-iphone-ends-legal-battle-but-questions...
It seems that no matter where a person shops these days, the retail clerk will ask for an e-mail address and offer a rewards card to keep them coming back. The vast majority of loyalty programs are free to consumers, but Restoration Hardware home furnishings stores recently joined a growing number of retailers to start charging a fee to get the rewards of shopping loyalty. http://www.startribune.com/restoration-hardware-joins-trend-of-charging-customers-for-loyalty-program/373752871/...
If living healthy was a class, the vast majority of us would be flunking, a study published recently in the journal Mayo Clinic Proceedings has found. Just 2.7 percent of Americans have a “healthy lifestyle,” which researchers defined as hitting all four benchmarks of good health. They are: not smoking; getting regular, moderate exercise; eating a diet rich in vegetables and whole grains and low in saturated fat, and maintaining a low body fat. http://www.startribune.com/less-than-3-percent-of-americans-have-healthy-lifestyl...
What would the world look like today if Harry Truman or Dwight Eisenhower had shared the foreign-policy inclinations of Barack Obama or, far more dangerous, Donald Trump? Obama has presided over an experiment in withdrawal from the Middle East, a region that the U.S. had long considered vital. Trump would accelerate the withdrawal, and make it global, because “we’re a poor country now,” as he told the Washington Post’s editorial board last week. Circumstances have forced Obama to undo or reverse aspects of his experiment, but at one point i...
CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. — Launch control software under development for NASA's deep-space exploration program is more than a year behind schedule and tens of millions of dollars above projected costs, according to an internal audit released Monday. NASA's own inspector general conducted the audit at Florida's Kennedy Space Center, where the agency hopes to launch its next-generation rocket on a test flight in 2018. http://www.startribune.com/new-nasa-launch-control-software-late-millions-over-budget/373745051/...
Last week, audio footage was released of Crownpoint High School principal, Dr. J.D. Reed, who made a series of disparaging remarks about several members of the Gallup-McKinley County school board and the local community. The recording circulated around social media over the weekend and eventually led to Reed’s termination. In the recording, Reed is heard in an office meeting speaking with at least two unidentified individuals. This included warning an unidentified woman about board member Priscilla Manuelito, telling her Manuelito ...
FARGO, N.D. (AP) — A federal judge on Monday lifted a decade-old injunction prohibiting a South Dakota tribal member from producing industrial hemp, although other issues need to be resolved before he can grow it on the Pine Ridge Indian Reservation. U.S. District Judge Jeffrey Viken of South Dakota said there has been a "shifting legal landscape" since the 2004 order was filed against Alex White Plume, an enrolled member of the Oglala Sioux Tribe. That includes a change in hemp laws in the 2014 farm bill and legalization of marijuana in s...
Who’s winning Indian Country this presidential election season? On social media it is an intense debate. Sen. Bernie Sanders supporters point to Iowa, Oklahoma, Michigan, Nevada, and, after this weekend, Washington, Hawaii, and Alaska, as evidence that Natives are “feeling the Bern.” But Hillary Clinton backers can look at results from Nevada and Arizona and make a case for the former Secretary of State. (Yes, you can argue Nevada either way. There is just not enough evidence for a definitive answer.) But one thing is certain: Indian Count...

In the backyard of a Blood Tribe high school, students are working on a massive shop project — three tiny homes. The 10 students at Kainai High School had to undergo a formal job application process, with resumes, references and interviews, to land the gig. Under the supervision of a longtime shop teacher with a background in construction, the young apprentices are learning how to build tiny homes from the ground up. http://calgaryherald.com/news/local-news/blood-tribe-joins-tiny-house-movement-with-gigantic-shop-project...
PHOENIX (CN) - The Gila River Indian Community claims in court that the Department of Veterans Affairs is illegally limiting and conditioning reimbursement for care provided to veterans who go to a reservation hospital rather than the scandal-plagued VA facility in Phoenix. In a complaint filed in federal court on Tuesday, the Gila River Indian Community and Gila River Health Care Corporation, claim the department owes them for health care provided to veterans going back to March 2010. http://www.allgov.com/news/where-is-the...
Sitka Tribe of Alaska is asking state fishing regulators to end the current commercial harvest of herring near the Southeast community, saying too many of the tiny fish are being caught and it’s hurting the tribe’s traditional reliance on herring eggs. Tribal chairman Mike Baines wrote a letter to Fish and Game Commissioner Sam Cotton today asking that he “cease any additional attempt” by the commercial fishing division to allow more herring to be caught in the Sitka sac roe herring fishery. http://www.ktuu.com/news/news/sit...

Prediction one: Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton will win their parties' nominations. Prediction two: Clinton will take the White House handily. At least, that's what political wagering websites say. These operations, which distill the wisdom of crowds, turn out to be surprisingly solid when it comes to predicting presidential races. Their record for accuracy outdoes that of opinion polls. Most Web-based political investment markets -- they don't like to call themselves betting pools, not wanting to run up against online gambling bans -- are...
