Adrian Peterson is “ready to roll” this Sunday against the Indianapolis Colts. After just three practices on his surgically repaired knee, Peterson said he’ll play Sunday at U.S. Bank Stadium, his first game action since suffering a torn meniscus in his right knee Week 2, he told Dash Radio during an interview on Friday afternoon. Peterson has a financial stake in the radio station, according to Billboard. First, the Vikings need to officially activate Peterson, who remains on injured reserve with a designation to return, and make a corre...
Friends and family won’t be welcome anymore in the Minnesota Sports Facilities Authority’s two luxury suites at U.S. Bank Stadium, a practice that ran into a public backlash last month. “It’s important to restore the public trust and say that, for now, we’re not going to have friends and family,” MSFA Chairwoman Michele Kelm-Helgen said Friday at the panel’s monthly meeting. The ban passed on a voice vote, but three of the four commissioners pressed Kelm-Helgen on whether the board was overreacting to public criticism. http://www.st...
PARIS – On chilly winter mornings, most Parisians hurry by the now-locked square that is home to the beautiful medieval Tour St. Jacques. Only occasionally do they pause, perhaps hearing a light rustle on the fallen leaves or glimpsing something scampering among the dark green foliage. A bird? A cat? A puppy? No. A rat. No. Three rats. http://www.startribune.com/rodents-run-wild-in-paris-blame-the-european-union/406905246/...
WASHINGTON - FBI Director James Comey and Director of National Intelligence James Clapper Jr. are in agreement with a CIA assessment that Russia intervened in the 2016 election in part to help Donald Trump win the White House, officials disclosed Friday, as President Barack Obama issued a public warning to Moscow that it could face retaliation. New revelations about Comey's position could put to rest suggestions by some lawmakers that the CIA and the FBI weren't on the same page on Russian President Vladimir Putin's intentions. Russia has...

BEMIDJI—During an average winter in Beltrami County, the sheriff's office performs at least one rescue after someone falls through the ice. "About once a year or more we have somebody go through," said Chris Muller, director of Beltrami County Emergency Management. "Whether it be going out too early in the season, or finding some of those low-quality ice areas around a river or inlet or outlet." Fortunately, though, there are ways to keep a trip onto the ice from turning into a trip through it. http://www.bemidjipioneer.com/...

CASS LAKE -- For a town of only 770 residents, at least as many people packed the parking lot and the filled the stands inside Cass Lake-Bena High School for the 15th annual Big Bear Wrestling Tournament on Friday. Since its first year in 2002, the tournament has become a staple of the high school wrestling calendar in Minnesota. With 39 teams competing over two days, the event is the largest regular season wrestling tournament in the state. “It’s a pretty big deal,” said John Smid, a senior wrestler for Blackduck/Cass Lake-Bena. “When you hav...

University of Minnesota head football coach Tracy Claeys told WCCO radio Sunday morning that he knows he could lose his job over the players’ recent two-day boycott of the team. As he met with his players Thursday as the boycott began, Claeys said he told them, “There’s a great chance I could lose my job over this.” The players ended their boycott of all team activities early Saturday morning, with several senior leaders on the team making the announcement on campus. http://www.startribune.com/gophers-coach-tracy-claeys-told...
WASHINGTON – President-elect Trump’s pledge to spend billions of dollars on new road and bridge projects could dramatically reshape Minnesota’s transportation priorities, potentially bringing private investment to finance massive public works projects. In Minnesota and across the nation, elected leaders are scrambling to find ways to pay for road and bridge repair, hampered by limited taxpayer dollars and stiff political resistance to raising the gasoline tax. Even before he has taken office, Trump’s team has pitched a private investm...
The supposedly desperate Vikings strolled into U.S. Bank Stadium on Sunday morning, confident they would make quick work of the Indianapolis Colts. Adrian Peterson was back in the lineup, expected to give them an emotional lift and some semblance of a running game. The Colts were forced to start three rookie offensive linemen against one of the NFL's most ferocious pass rushes. The Colts had Andrew Luck, but did anyone else scare them? And their fans were fired up, even if simply because they were inside. http://www.startrib...
Hang in there, Minnesotans, the weather outside is about to turn not so frightful. From Alexandria to Zumbrota — and every initial in between — temperatures were frigid Sunday all across the state, with some communities experiencing lows colder than 30 below zero. But Monday's forecast envisions a sharp turnaround in the Twin Cities, with a high in the low 20s, according to the National Weather Service. Even so, a breezy 10 to 15 mph wind will take some of the joy out of that mercurial reversal. http://www.startribune.com/to...
Much has been written about the divided electorate, the us vs. them story. But in Minnesota, there is one area where the electorate is unified. On the Saturday after the election I spoke at a lake association in southwestern Minnesota, in a Lutheran church beside a lake. The coffee was weak, the lemon bars delicious. President-elect Trump had won the surroundng county by 30 percentage points. As the meeting advanced, some issues began to emerge: Agricultural runoff and drain tiling practices were harming both water quality and fishing. Aquatic...
With one sex crime conviction already on his record by age 19, a Minneapolis man has been found guilty of sex trafficking, this time involving girls as young as 14. Jurors in federal court in St. Paul convicted Deuvontay S. Charles, now 21, last week of 20 counts including sex trafficking a minor, producing and receiving child pornography and other felony charges. “Deuvontay Charles is a predator,” Assistant U.S. Attorney Laura M. Provinzino said in a statement following the convictions. “He targeted vulnerable girls to traffic for comme...
ATLANTA — As members of the Electoral College prepare to choose Donald Trump as the 45th president of the United States, some Republican electors say they are defending rural and small-town America against big-state liberalism and its support for national popular vote leader Hillary Clinton. But the picture is more complicated. "Our Founding Fathers established the Electoral College because those larger states, those larger areas, don't necessarily need to be the ones that rule," said Mary Sue McClurkin, a Republican elector from Alabama. h...
WASHINGTON — One of President-elect Donald Trump's first, and defining, acts next year could come on Republican legislation to cut off taxpayer money from Planned Parenthood. Trump sent mixed signals during the campaign about the 100-year-old organization, which provides birth control, abortions and various women's health services. He said "millions of women are helped by Planned Parenthood," but he also endorsed efforts to defund it. Trump once described himself as "very pro-choice." Now he's in the anti-abortion camp. http...
After all the allegations of rampant voter fraud and claims that millions had voted illegally, the people who supervised the election last month in states around the nation have been adding up how many credible reports of fraud they actually received. The overwhelming consensus: next to none. In an election in which more than 137.7 million Americans cast ballots, election and law enforcement officials in 26 states and the District of Columbia — Democratic-leaning, GOP-leaning and in-between — said that they knew of no credible allegations of...

Abuse and addiction tied to opioid prescription pain killers have been identified as a major health problem not only for members of the Cherokee Nation but for the region’s population as a whole, according to health officials. A report released Thursday by STAT, the online health and medicine site started by the Boston Globe, highlighted issues of the scope and treatment of the opioid crisis within the Cherokee Nation. Attempts to obtain information from representatives of the Cherokee Nation regarding the cost of treatment and the amount b...
Shaun King, a writer for the New York Daily News, has uploaded what appears to be a recorded audio file of Energy Transfer Partners' Chief Operating Officer saying that “election night changed everything” for the company as it relates to its embattled Dakota Access Pipeline. King stated on social media and on the SoundCloud page on which he posted the file that a source sent him the file on December 13, hours after Matthew Ramsey — COO of Energy Transfer Partners — gave his speech. The source who gave King the audio, he explains on SoundCl...
I should have been asleep, but instead I yanked the sheets over my head and tried, for the tenth time, to record a clean take. “For NPR News, I’m Amy Sisk on the Standing Rock Sioux Reservation,” I finally managed without coughing. A bad cold lingered after weeks of little rest, and the only quiet place to record was my smoky room at the tribe’s casino. I fashioned a studio of pillows and blankets for better audio quality. http://insideenergy.org/2016/12/16/dispatches-from-dakota-chasing-the-pipeline-protest/...
Two weeks after a victory in their fight against the Dakota Access Pipeline, most protesters have cleared out of the main protest camp in North Dakota - but about 1,000 are still there, and plan to remain through the winter. These folks say they are dug in at the Oceti Sakowin Camp in Cannon Ball, North Dakota, despite the cold, for a few reasons. Most are Native Americans, and want to support the tribal sovereignty effort forcefully argued by the Standing Rock Sioux, whose land is adjacent to the pipeline being built. Others say they worry...
