People loaded their belongings into grocery carts, bags and suitcases on move-out day at the temporary shelter for homeless encampment residents in Minneapolis on Monday. But advocates and city officials made it clear: The Twin Cities' homeless crisis is far from over. The Navigation Center opened last fall to house the residents from the hundreds of tents that sprang up along Franklin and Hiawatha avenues. The center's population reached 176 people this winter, but had dwindled to 25 by...
Minneapolis-based Allina Health prevailed in a U.S. Supreme Court decision that reverses a move by federal Medicare authorities to cut billions of dollars in payments supporting hospital care for low-income patients. Three Allina hospitals were among a group of nine that challenged the change, which decreased their federal payments by about $49 million a year. But the ruling, issued Monday, affects all U.S. hospitals that serve high numbers of low-income patients. http://ww...
FRESNO, Calif. - Democratic presidential candidate Pete Buttigieg (BOO'-tuh-juhj) says he would not have pressured Democrat Al Franken to resign from the Senate at the time some of his 2020 rivals did. Buttigieg was asked about Franken at an MSNBC town hall Monday. Several of his Democratic presidential rivals had pushed for Franken's resignation following sexual harassment allegations, including forcible kissing and groping. He resigned under pressure in late 2017. http://ww...
The Minneapolis man who admitted to throwing a 5-year-old boy over a third-floor railing at the Mall of America earlier this year offered no apology and no explanation for his actions before he was sentenced Monday morning to 19 years in prison.

LONDON - President Donald Trump will turn from pageantry to policy Tuesday as he joins British Prime Minister Theresa May for a day of talks likely to highlight fresh uncertainty in the allies' storied relationship. Trump and May are due to meet with corporate executives from the United States and United Kingdom, before an afternoon news conference on the second day of Trump's state visit. The leaders' top priority is a possible bilateral trade deal to take effect once the U.K. leaves the...
When Samuel Maddock built a browser that lets friends watch an online video at the same time, he used what seemed like the cheapest and simplest option: Chromium, a free, open-source version of Google’s Chrome web browser. Maddock’s creation worked well, but because it was based on Chromium, he needed another Google product called Widevine to authenticate users and prevent video piracy. He sent Google a request, outlining the project, and waited. And waited. Four months and 10 e-mails later he got a one-line answer: sorry, you can’t use...
NEW YORK - Walmart is extending its debt-free college benefits to high schoolers as a way to attract and retain workers in a tight labor market.

Walmart estimates about 25,000 people under the age of 18 work at its stores, a fraction of its 1.3 million person U.S....
Two shuttered for-profit universities must repay students both the principal and interest on millions of dollars in illegal loans they issued, the Minnesota Court of Appeals ruled Monday.

The Minnesota Court of Appeals reversed a ruling by state utility regulators on the environmental impact statement for Enbridge's Line 3 pipeline, throwing new uncertainty on the controversial project. The court ruled Monday that the statement was "inadequate because it did not address the potential impact of an oil spill into the Lake Superior watershed." The decision to omit this issue was "arbitrary and capricious," the Appeals Court ruled. http://www.startribune.com/appea...

The Red Lake Lady Warriors lost in 5 innings to Blackduck 21-4 in Red Lake on Monday, May 13, 2019. The Junior Varsity also dropped their game.

They didn't have much time to warm up. The loss gave Red Lake a 3-3 record on the season. Red Lake's Lady Warriors will play Pine...
