RED LAKE, Minn. - Pat Brown and Gary Barnard were working at opposite ends of Upper and Lower Red Lakes in 1997, but the fisheries biologists encountered scenarios that were as similar as they were gloomy.

"I was just...

For this summer, I conducted a unit on Bats! The kids had the opportunity to learn all different facets associated with bats. They were shocked to learn that one bat is capable of eating 1,000 mosquitos per hour! They also had the opportunity to make "Bat Mobiles" and other kinds of bats, using origami paper. After conducting various measurements and learning about surface area, each student then had the opportunity to make their very own Bat House to take home and install. (See Attachment #1)...

The name Holland is also frequently used to informally refer to the whole of the country of the Netherlands. This usage is commonly accepted in other countries, and not entirely uncommon among the Dutch themselves, though some in the Netherlands and particularly in other regions of the country may find it...

This story was published as part of the POLITICO Journalism Institute special section. PJI is a journalism training program that allows student participants to report and produce news stories. The school lunch war is back, but this time it's the Democrats going on the offensive.

Pelosi was one of six Democratic lawmakers to lead advocacy groups in a Capitol Hill rally...
With Father's Day coming up, I thought I'd take a look at ways that fathers increasingly are getting involved in schools. While women have traditionally been more active in schools, dad groups have been growing around the country, and the National Parent Teacher Association has been working on supporting that growth, along with other groups. It's an issue that has come up at the White House. In 2012, the White House Fatherhood Report came out, part of President Barack Obama's initiative to engage more fathers, finding that one out of three...

WASHINGTON – Minnesota Rep. Collin Peterson thinks of himself as a law-and-order guy. But the Democrat joined most of his Republican colleagues earlier this week in voting to keep the House of Representatives from debating a bill to ban firearms sales to people on terrorist watch lists. “Obviously, I don’t want terrorists to have guns,” Peterson, who serves a largely rural district in northwestern Minnesota, said in an interview. “But I don’t trust [government agencies] to set this up.” Instead, he wants a judicial review process to ensure tha...
More than 4,000 nurses went on strike at five Twin Cities Allina hospitals Sunday — some in tears as they left their shifts early in the morning and their patients in the hands of replacements recruited from across the country to cover the seven-day walkout.
