  • Navigation Center prepares to close Monday, while some remain without housing

    Jun 4, 2019

    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...

  • Allina wins Supreme Court ruling on federal hospital payments

    Jun 4, 2019

But the ruling, issued Monday, affects all U.S. hospitals that serve high numbers of low-income patients. http://www....

  • Buttigieg: I wouldn't have urged Franken to quit when he did

    Jun 4, 2019

    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.

  • Google's Chrome becomes web 'gatekeeper' and rivals complain

    Jun 4, 2019

    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 the s...

  • Minnesota court rules closed for-profit schools must fully repay illegal loans

    Jun 4, 2019

    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.

Min­ne­so­ta deems rates of more than 8% on such loans "usu­ri­ous," and the state...

  • Court throws replacement of Enbridge Line 3 into limbo; judges rebuke state agency

    Jun 4, 2019

    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...

  • Lady Warriors lose in 5 innings to Blackduck 21-4 - P16

    Michael Barrett, RLNN|Jun 4, 2019

    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. Part of the problem could have been they were released from class at 10:30 that morning for an 11 AM game, which would have only gave them about 10 to 15 minutes to get their uniforms on, get to the field, and start playing. 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...
