  • Trump hard-liners push splitting migrants' families at border

    Jun 18, 2018

    WASHINGTON – Almost immediately after President Donald Trump took office, his administration began weighing what for years had been regarded as the nuclear option in the effort to discourage immigrants from unlawfully entering the United States. Children would be separated from their parents if the families had been apprehended entering the country illegally, John F. Kelly, then the Homeland Security secretary, said in March 2017, “in order to deter more movement along this terribly dangerous network.” http://www.startribune...

  • MnDOT making stop signs easier to see

    Jun 18, 2018

    We’ve all seen other drivers do it. And perhaps we’re guilty ourselves: The motorists who come to a stop sign or traffic signal that is red, but don’t make a complete stop, especially when turning. The maneuver is so common that it even has several names. Some call it the “no cop, no stop” move. In other places it’s known as the “St. Louis stop” or the “California roll.” http://www.startribune.com/mndot-making-stop-signs-easier-to-see/485780872/...

  • Race for Minnesota House picks up steam amid busy election year

    Jun 18, 2018

    Ellen Cousins surprised some Minnetonka neighbors on a recent afternoon, greeting the old acquaintances with news that she’s running for the state House.

  • Investigators say DNA database can be goldmine for old cases

    Jun 18, 2018

    SALT LAKE CITY — A microscopic thread of DNA evidence in a public genealogy database led California authorities to declare this spring they had caught the Golden State Killer, the rapist and murderer who had eluded authorities for decades. Emboldened by that breakthrough, a number of private investigators are spearheading a call for amateur genealogists to help solve other cold cases by contributing their own genetic information to the same public database. They say a larger array of genetic information would widen the pool to find criminals w...

  • Heat isn't just a nuisance to students; it's a barrier to learning

    Jun 18, 2018

    Less than a month ago, a heat wave in the Midwest forced schools in Minnesota, Michigan, Illinois and other states to cancel classes or dismiss students early. To help with the heat, officials in St. Paul gave students water bottles and delivered hundreds of fans to schools, most of which lack air conditioning. This example, though extreme, points to a larger pattern. Most teachers and administrators know that sweltering classrooms are both physically dangerous for students and not conducive to learning. Overheated students and teachers become...
