BEMIDJI — Teams in the Western Collegiate Hockey Association men’s league will no longer settle for ties. The league announced Tuesday a dramatic overhaul to the on-ice game structure for the 2016-17 season, the most significant of which is the elimination of ties in the league standings and the addition of 3-on-3 overtime and shootouts. Under the previous format, WCHA league games would feature a single five-minute period of 5-on-5 overtime and if there was no winner, each team would receive a point in the standings. http:/...

His visit comes as the population of the Dakota Access Pipeline protest camps...
Corporal punishment has declined so rapidly in the United States in the last 15 years that many people think it's practically nonexistent in modern American public schools. To the contrary, more than 109,000 students were paddled, swatted, or otherwise physically punished in U.S. classrooms in 2013-14, according to Education Week Research Center analyses of the most recent wave of federal civil rights data. Corporal punishment is often seen by proponents as a good alternative to suspending students. But in a field that requires specialized...

Reversing a controversial decision made just two weeks ago, the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources said Tuesday that catch-and-release walleye fishing on Lake Mille Lacs will close for the season on Sept. 6. The surprise move came in response to dismay expressed by eight Ojibwe bands about Gov.

It was the first time a governor had interceded since Minnesota began c...

A Twin Cities area restaurateur used his three suburban Mexican cantinas as fronts for a vast, six-year drug operation that trafficked marijuana, cocaine and methamphetamine, according to a federal grand jury indictment unsealed this week.

WASHINGTON – U.S. Sen. Amy Klobuchar of Minnesota has asked the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) to investigate whether a drug company violated antitrust laws by steeply increasing the price of a product that treats people suffering from severe allergic reactions. After hearing from constituents, Klobuchar, whose daughter has nut allergies, questioned Mylan pharmaceutical’s decision to push the price of a dual pack of EpiPens from $100 in 2008 to $500-$600 in 2016. “There does not appear to be any justification for the continual price incre...

After a rocky end to the 2015-16 school year, the St. Paul School District is tackling the controversy surrounding school resource officers (sworn law enforcement officers, also called SROs) by moving to ensure that police have a more positive presence in the schools. Traditional uniforms are to be replaced by light-blue polo shirts, and if an officer arrests a student, efforts are to be made to have a school administrator present until the student is put in a squad car. The steps are among several to be taken under a new $984,499 contract...

After battling Social Security for years, the 80-year-old woman who was homeless until a week ago got one of the biggest “I-told-you-so’s” that a person can hope for. “Ready?” asked the bank teller, before spinning his monitor around to show Witter the new amount in her account. http://www.startribune.com/social-security-pays-homeless-woman-100-000-it-owed-her/391089781/...
