  • Beltrami County to create new job training program

    Aug 19, 2016

Going by last fall's enrollment, that means potentially one-third of the state's public school students had to stay home this week, if they could -- more than 241,000 children. The preliminary closure information comes from districts' websites, Facebook pages and receptionists. The Louisiana Education...

  • The Mayor In This City Goes Door To Door To Increase Student Success

  • Image of Aleppo boy shocks world; Russia offers cease-fires

    Aug 19, 2016

    BEIRUT — The Russian military said Thursday it was ready to back a U.N. call for weekly cease-fires for Syria's contested city of Aleppo, as haunting footage of a young boy's rescue from the aftermath of an airstrike shook global media. The image of the stunned and weary-looking boy, sitting in an ambulance caked with dust and with blood on his face, captured the horror that has beset the war-torn northern city as photographs of the child were widely shared on social media.

    Aug 19, 2016

    Gov.

    Aug 19, 2016

The virus also has been linked to cases of Guillain-Barre syndrome in adults, a rare autoimmune disorder that can result in paralysis and even death. Now, in a study in mice, researchers have found evidence that suggests adult brain cells critical to learning and m...
