Today, they're figuring out just why the approach worked.

BEIRUT – The United States is becoming more perilously drawn into Syria’s fragmented war as it fights on increasingly congested battlefields surrounding territory held by the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria. On Sunday, a U.S. fighter jet downed a Syrian warplane for the first time in the conflict. By Monday, Russia, a key ally of Syrian President Bashar Assad, had suspended a pact used to prevent crashes with the U.S.-led coalition in the skies over Syria and was threatening to target American jets. http://www.startribune.co...
BOSTON — Boosting drilling and mining on America's protected federal lands can help the United States become not just independent, but "dominant" as a global energy force, according to Interior Secretary Ryan Zinke, whose agency manages about one-fifth of U.S. territory. In an interview with Reuters, Zinke outlined his approach to development and conservation in America's wildest spaces, and discussed how that philosophy was guiding his review of which national monuments created by past presidents should be rescinded or resized to make way f...
After failing to spend nearly a half-billion dollars in federal housing funds over a decade, a Navajo Nation agency has been pouring money into a project to produce small, modular dwellings at a cost of nearly $300,000 each — and possibly much more, according to tribal documents. The contract with a company known as LAM/Rockford Construction LLC is one example of business practices at the Navajo Housing Authority, which faces reform demands from tribal President Russell Begaye and members of Congress. http://www.azcentral.co...

The Soboba Band of Luiseño Indians has filed a federal complaint against the Riverside County Sheriff’s Department over the handling of the investigation into a missing person’s case in May 2016. The tribe claims that the department “invaded” the reservation to execute a search warrant that was issued based on false statements, then seized the tribal administration building, forcing employees to download hundreds of hours of video surveillance. The complaint also said the department searched the reservation without the tribe’s consent, v...
Energy Secretary Rick Perry on Monday denied that man-made carbon dioxide emissions are the primary cause of climate change. Asked in an interview on CNBC’s “Squawk Box” whether he believed that carbon dioxide was “the primary control knob for the temperature of the Earth and for climate,” Perry said that “No, most likely the primary control knob is the ocean waters and this environment that we live in.” https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/energy-environment/wp/2017/06/19/trumps-energy-secretary-just-denied-that-man-made-car...

ANCHORAGE, Alaska (AP) — Patrick Cooper had already turned around after reaching the halfway point in a popular mountain race in Alaska when he somehow veered off the trail and became lost. That's when the 16-year-old Anchorage boy encountered the black bear that would take his life in a rare predatory attack. Cooper began running, and at one point he reportedly placed a frantic call to his brother, saying he was being chased by a bear Sunday in the Robert Spurr Memorial Hill Climb race south of Anchorage. The brother notified race director B...
