PISCATAWAY, N.J. — President Barack Obama on Sunday urged college graduates to shun those who want to confront a rapidly changing world by building walls around the United States or by embracing ignorance, as he delivered a sharp and barely concealed critique of Donald Trump. Obama used his commencement speech at Rutgers University to illustrate a world view antithetical to the ideas espoused by the presumptive Republican presidential nominee. Looking out at a sea of red and black gowns, Obama told the roughly 12,000 graduating students that t...

BARCELONA, Venezuela – By morning, three newborns were already dead. The day had begun with the usual hazards: chronic shortages of antibiotics, intravenous solutions, even food. Then a blackout swept over the city, shutting down the respirators in the maternity ward. Doctors kept ailing infants alive by pumping air into their lungs by hand for hours. By nightfall, another four newborns had died. http://www.startribune.com/dwindling-resources-failing-hospitals/379592381/...
ON LEECH LAKE – The plan before dawn Saturday morning was to minimize the chance misery would reduce us to sniveling cabin dwellers on the state’s first day of fishing. All day Friday the wind blew, howling still that night outside the windows of our cabins, which lay hard by the shores of this giant lake. Even the oldest and largest trees bent to the gale that gusted from the north-northwest, and at sunup Saturday the temperature was 27 degrees. All the clothes we could muster, that’s what we wore. http://www.startribune.co...
On Mille Lacs – By Mille Lacs standards, Saturday’s opening day crowd of walleye anglers was sparse. But for those who weren’t turned off by the state’s new season-long catch-and-release mandate for the big lake, the fish were plentiful. “It seemed really strong,” said Shawn Gallery, the top fishing guide at Red Door Resort and Motel on the north side. “We caught 16 walleyes in our first hour.” http://www.startribune.com/mille-lacs-walleyes-showed-but-anglers-were-in-short-supply/379545211/#1...
Nearly three years have passed since members of the Oglala Sioux Tribe voted to legalize alcohol on the Pine Ridge Reservation. Though the measure passed in a 2013 referendum, no alcohol sales have occurred since then, and the results and intent of the original vote been cast into doubt. So this Tuesday, residents of Pine Ridge will once again be asked in a referendum if alcohol should be made legal on the reservation more than a century after it was banned. http://rapidcityjournal.com/news/local/should-alcohol-be-legal-on-t...
After a decade-long legal battle over whether indigenous people who suffered physical and sexual abuse at residential schools in Newfoundland and Labrador should receive federal compensation, Ottawa is agreeing to pay $50-million to the more than 800 remaining survivors, lawyers for the victims said Tuesday.

Ever wonder why Senecas can sell tax-free gasoline and cigarettes in a state where taxes on those items are considered exceptionally high? It goes back to a treaty signed in 1842 in Buffalo – the Buffalo Creek land treaty. In that treaty, the Senecas were exempted “from all taxes, and assessments for roads, highways, or any other purpose until such lands shall be sold” on their own land. Using that exemption, Senecas have, over the past decade alone, expanded their wealth and influence to hundreds of millions of dollars. The exemption allow...
