Frisbees and children’s shouts careened across a makeshift disc golf course, part of National Night Out festivities in Edina’s Morningside Neighborhood.

The lighthearted mood at Tuesday’s event — dubbed Neighborhood Night Out in Edina— was a stark contrast for a part of the metro that had for two weeks been shaken by a tragedy. http://www.startribune.com/ne...
Rural medical clinics coordinate patient care better than Twin Cities clinics, on average, according to a new Minnesota survey that suggests small facilities and do-it-all small-town doctors still offer advantages in an era of modern medicine. The survey data published Wednesday by Minnesota Community Measurement, a nonprofit health care rating organization, showed below-average marks for Twin Cities clinics on care coordination — items such as whether doctors know their patients' histories before their appointments and call patients a...

AMMAN, Jordan — The repeal of a Jordanian law that allowed a rapist to escape prison by marrying his victim was bittersweet news for a Jordanian woman whose daughter was assaulted when she was just 13 years old.
