The curriculum for most college accounting courses is fairly standard: debits, credits, cash flow and collateral. UND Adjunct Professor Mike Hendrickson has added something else to his accounting syllabus — coats — in hopes of teaching his students a lesson in public service. Hendrickson started the idea of an annual College of Business & Public Administration coat drive in 2012, his first year teaching at UND. That year, his Accounting 494 class gathered nearly 200 coats and winter accessories for those in need. http://blog...
GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. – Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton made their final pitches to an anxious nation Monday, with Clinton seeking to strike a conciliatory, positive tone — and Trump, the underdog, warning of “disaster” if he loses. On the last day of the presidential campaign, Clinton seemed to be a clear but not overwhelming favorite. She held a small lead in national polls and in key battleground states. Both candidates were hoping that these polls had missed something: Trump hoping a surge in white voters that would allow him to win the Whi...
At the lone early voting site in St. Paul on the day before Election Day, the line stretched around the building and parking spots were scarce — even for the state’s top election official. On a visit to check in with Ramsey County elections workers, Minnesota Secretary of State Steve Simon saw what looked to be the only parking spot in sight, began to pull in, but abruptly stopped and backed out. The spot had a sign — “VOTER PARKING ONLY” — and Simon didn’t want to take it away from a voter, even though he was running an hour behind on his...
When Minnesota’s medical marijuana program opened its doors to pain patients this summer, the hope was that people in pain, and a program struggling with growing pains, might be able to help each other. That was three months ago. Since then, pain patients have rushed to a program that has battled sluggish enrollment and high prices since its launch last year. Half the people currently enrolled are pain patients, and while it’s too soon to know if that’s enough to save Minnesota’s cannabis program, many patients say the program has already...
It appears the Vikings have finally run out of patience with Blair Walsh. One day after the shaky placekicker shanked an extra point, had a field goal blocked and failed to force a return on the final kickoff of regulation, coach Mike Zimmer said the Vikings planned to have several kickers in for a workout on Tuesday. The coach did not disclose which kickers got the invitation to Winter Park. However, a league source told the Star Tribune that free agent kickers Kai Forbath and Randy Bullock both will work out for the Vikings....

Minnesota's new paint-recycling program far exceeded expectations as the public, the state and retail stores helped collect more than 1 million gallons of old paint during its first full year. The Minnesota Architectural Paint Stewardship Program collected and processed more than 1 million gallons of old paint in the program's first full year, July 1, 2015, to June 30, according to a report released Monday by the nonprofit administrator PaintCare. That is 26 percent more than expected, said Steve Pincuspy, program manager in Minnesota for...
The University of Minnesota isn't extending the alternative pathway to teaching program with Teach for America, citing program funding that's not sustainable, according to a release from the school Monday. The program began in summer 2014 as the first alternative teacher licensing program for TFA corps members under the Minnesota Alternative Teacher Licensure law, and gives students coursework and preparation for recommendation for licensure at the end of two years. TFA is a national teacher recruitment program that quickly trains college...
St. Paul police clarified Monday that an officer shown on video kicking a man is no longer employed by the department. The June incident prompted an apology from the city's police chief. Police spokesman Steve Linders said state law prohibits him from saying whether Brett Palkowitsch was fired or left on his own accord. However, Linders confirmed that Palkowitsch remains the subject of an open complaint and internal affairs investigation. http://www.startribune.com/st-paul-cop-caught-on-video-kicking-man-no-longer-with-depar...

NEW DELHI – For days, many residents in Delhi have been living as if under siege, trying to keep the dirty air away from their children and older parents. But it is not easy: Open a window or a door, and the haze enters the room within seconds. Outside, the sky is white, the sun a white circle so pale that you can barely make it out. The smog is acrid, eye-stinging and throat-burning, and so thick that it is being blamed for a 70-vehicle pileup north of the city. If in past years Delhi’s roughly 20 million residents shrugged off wintertime pol...
Arizona tribal members have received more than $175 million in the first four years of a federal program to buy back and consolidate parcels of land that are now split between multiple owners, the Interior Department said on November 1. The 2016 status report on the $1.9 billion buyback program said Navajo Nation individuals received more than $104 million, Gila River Tribe members got more than $51 million and members of the Salt River tribe were paid $20 million for their land. “We’ve heard of new vehicles being purchased, houses being ren...
In early August, just as protesters from across the country descended on North Dakota to rally against an oil pipeline near the Standing Rock Sioux Reservation, some of the world’s biggest banks signed off on a $2.5 billion loan to help complete the sprawling project. Now, those banks — which include Citigroup and Wells Fargo of the United States, TD Bank of Canada and Mizuho of Japan — have come under fire for their role in bankrolling the pipeline. In an open letter on Monday, 26 environmental groups urged those banks to halt further loan...
On Monday afternoon, November 7, in Mandan, North Dakota, 51 water protectors* were scheduled to appear before Judge Gail Hagerty at Morton County District Court to be arraigned on charges related to arrests that took place on October 22 near the Dakota Access Pipeline construction site just north of the Standing Rock Reservation in Morton County. Of the 51 scheduled to appear, 38 water protectors were present to enter their pleas. Of those who were not present, most had arranged in advance to schedule later court dates. Morton County charged...
Prairie McLaughlin said she has daily flashbacks – “daymares” – about the police. Sitting inside a small tipi where she is camped out while protesting the Dakota Access pipeline, she took a drag of her cigarette and recounted how officers took her to a North Dakota jail last month where, she says, a group of male and female guards forcibly removed her clothes when she refused to strip in front of them. “I’m beyond traumatized,” the 33-year-old Native American woman said through tears. https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2016...
The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers has confirmed to DeSmog that Energy Transfer Partners, the owner of the proposed Dakota Access pipeline, has ignored the Obama administration's September 9 request to voluntarily halt construction in a disputed area, 20 miles east and west of Lake Oahe and the Missouri River. The confirmation came in the aftermath of a video published by drone pilot Shiyé Bidziil on the news website Indian Country Today titled, “Drone Footage of Dakota Access Pipeline Approaching Missouri River.” Published November 2, this vide...
A Dakota Access Pipeline protester who attached himself to a piece of construction equipment in September will be going to trial in January on charges of recklessly endangering the lives of law enforcement officers who helped get him down. “We can respectfully disagree, but now it’s a question for the jury, and we’re actually looking forward to a jury trial in this particular case because we don’t believe the state will be able to prove this case," said Bruce Ellison, a Rapid City, S.D., attorney. http://bismarcktribune.com/...
Frank Archambault is not going to vote for president. In mid-July, the 45-year-old member of the Standing Rock Sioux tribe packed up all of his belongs and his family – five children and a grandson – to travel from Little Eagle, South Dakota, to Cannon Ball, North Dakota, to join the movement of “water protecters” facing off against the federal government and the oil industry. He is fully committed to doing whatever it takes to to halt the Dakota Access pipeline from crossing the Missouri River. But Archambault is not interested in choosin...
WASHINGTON (CNS) — When Sisters Aine O’Connor and Kathleen Erickson heard a call for a peaceful and prayerful presence on the front line of a campaign to protect sacred Sioux lands in North Dakota from a multibillion-dollar oil pipeline project, they knew they had to respond. The two members of the Sisters of Mercy of the Americas joined more than 500 ministers and religious leaders Nov. 4 for a day of prayer and conversation in south central North Dakota to confront what they contend is an ecological disaster waiting to happen. “I was respo...
Wearing jeans, a light blue shirt, a dark sport coat and a colorfully beaded pendant that hung from his neck, Harold Frazier became increasingly agitated as he spoke. The chairman of the Cheyenne River Sioux in north central South Dakota was in Albuquerque to address a panel of 10 representatives of a range of federal agencies, from the Bureau of Indian Affairs to the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. The previous day he had met with President Obama, who urged him to have faith in the consultation process. Frazier appreciated the advice, but...
OSLO, Nov 7 (Reuters) - Norwegian bank DNB will reconsider its participation in the financing of the North Dakota oil pipeline if concerns raised by Native American tribes against its construction are not addressed, it said late on Sunday. Local authorities and protesters have been clashing over Energy Transfer Partner's $3.8 billion Dakota Access pipeline project, which would offer the fastest and most direct route to bring shale oil from North Dakota to Illinois. http://www.businessinsider.com/r-bank-dnb-says-considering-p...
During an exclusive interview with Fusion’s Alicia Menendez on Saturday, Vice Presidential candidate Tim Kaine voiced hesitant support for President Obama’s view that there might be a way for the Dakota Access Pipeline—which has been the subject of mass protests from Native Americans who claim their water supply would be endangered and who have been met with a militarized police response—to be re-routed, though he stopped short of calling for the project to be canceled, as Senator Bernie Sanders has done. The Clinton campaign has been critici...
