    Oct 5, 2020

    WASHINGTON – In late 2019 the Bureau of Indian Education (BIE) launched an innovative school bus internet connectivity project with the goal of using its 25 longest bus routes to keep students connected to learning. Well before COVID-19 hit the United States, the Bureau had begun to transform the designated school bus fleet into extended classrooms so that students remained connected while traveling, in some cases over 200 miles roundtrip per day, on distant bus routes. Once schools resume in-person instruction, the internet-enabled buses...

    Oct 5, 2020

  • Vikings hold on to beat Texans 31-23 for first win of the season

    Oct 5, 2020

    HOUSTON - The Vikings are heading home from NRG Stadium, winners for the first time this year, because they had another opportunity to work the formula they used to nearly beat the Titans a week ago. The Vikings are 1-3, instead of 0-4, because they faced a Texans team that was even more inefficient than Tennessee was. Another big day for Dalvin Cook (who ran for 130 yards and two touchdowns) and the Vikings' top two receivers (both Adam Thielen and Justin Jefferson surpassed 100 yards) allowed...

Timtim's daughter is Native Hawaiian and speaks Hawaiian fluently, "so to see that inaccuracy with the Hawaiian history side was really upsetting," she said. Even before the school...

  • Denying, defending and numb: Voters not moved by Trump taxes

    Oct 5, 2020

    OSHKOSH, Wisconsin — Danielle Fairbank closed the tailgate of her fire-engine red pickup truck in a Target parking lot in Oshkosh, Wisconsin and offered a hearty "Fake news!" to dismiss reports that President Donald Trump paid only $750 in income taxes in 2017. The assembly worker at a nearby military vehicle plant just as swiftly brushed aside the notion that Trump's tiny tax bill put him out of touch with blue-collar workers like herself. Her job — which she's held throughout the recession and pandemic — is proof to her that the...

    Oct 5, 2020

    ROCHESTER, Minn. - By Nov. 10 in the terrible year that was 1918, things in Minnesota were looking a lot like they look today. The newspapers were full of stories about pandemic case numbers climbing, while health officials were arguing over the best approach to combat the virus. But instead of COVID-19, the deadly outbreak back then was the Great Influenza, otherwise known as the Spanish Flu. And instead of Republicans versus Democrats, the dividing line was one of geography, with Minneapolis...

    Oct 5, 2020
