Valley City (Prairie Public Radio) Valley City State University is asking the Legislature for permission to issue $22.5 million in revenue bonds – to build an integrated carbon plant.
The plant would provide power to the campus – but has the added benefit of producing “activated carbon.”
VCSU president Tisa Mason says there’s a growing demand for that by-product.
Mason says the campus will work with the Energy and Environmental Research Center at UND. She says the project could be adapted on other campuses.
BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) — Two deer taken from southwestern North Dakota have tested positive for chronic wasting disease.
The state Game and Fish Department says the mule deer doe and mule deer buck were taken during the 2016 gun season. Since 2009, a total of nine deer from that part of the state have tested positive for chronic wasting disease.
After last fall’s hunt, more than 1,400 samples were tested from the southwestern and eastern third of the state.
This year, deer will be tested from the central part of the state.
Chronic wasting disease affects the nervous system of deer, elk and moose and is always fatal. There’s no evidence that it can be transmitted naturally to humans or livestock.

HOUSTON (AP) — Doctors say former President George H.W. Bush is sitting up, laughing, joking and asking when he can go home from the Houston hospital that has been treating him for pneumonia for the past 10 days.
He has been moved out of the intensive care unit of a Houston hospital where he has been treated for more than a week for pneumonia, doctors said on Monday.
Former first lady Barbara Bush, 91, has been discharged from the same hospital after being treated for bronchitis, doctors at Houston Methodist Hospital told a news conference.
Former President George H.W. Bush and his wife Barbara have touched the medical staff at a Houston hospital with their humility.
One of their physicians, Dr. Amy Mynderse (MYN’-durz), told reporters that when she informed the 92-year-old former president she would be speaking at a news conference Monday, he replied: “About what?”
Bush has been in the hospital for more than a week being treated for pneumonia, and former first lady Barbara Bush was treated at the same facility for bronchitis.
WASHINGTON (AP) — White House press secretary Sean Spicer is saying the Trump administration’s “intention is never to lie to you.” Spicer faced questions today during his first briefing after his angry statement in which he denounced the media’s correct reporting that the crowd at Trump’s inauguration was smaller than at his predecessor’s eight years ago. Spicer said “sometimes we may disagree” about facts. He added that “if we make a mistake, we’ll do our best to correct” it. The press secretary said he was given incorrect information about Washington Metro’s ridership when he addressed the issue Saturday. But he insisted that, when TV and online viewership are combined, that it was the most-watched inaugural in history.
WASHINGTON (AP) — Donald Trump appears to be backing off a campaign promise to immediately end former President Barack Obama’s program to protect young immigrants from deportation. White House Press Secretary Sean Spicer says that for now the administration will focus on criminal immigrants in the country illegally. The Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program has protected more 750,000 young immigrants from deportation and offered those same immigrants work permits.
WASHINGTON (AP) — The Trump administration says it is willing to partner with Moscow to combat the Islamic State group. Spokesman Sean Spicer said today that Donald Trump has been “very clear” that he will “work with any country committed to defeating ISIS.” The president has vowed that he’ll defeat the al-Qaida offshoot “quickly” when he takes office, though he has not provided specifics on his plans for U.S. military efforts in Iraq and Syria.
NEW YORK (AP) — The government’s top public health agency has canceled a conference next month on climate change and health — but it isn’t saying why publicly. A co-sponsor says he was told by the Centers for Disease and Prevention that the agency was worried how the conference would be viewed by the Trump administration.
GRIFFIN, Ga. (AP) — A lawsuit claiming Snapchat’s “speed filter” tempted a woman to drive too fast before she crashed into a couple’s car has been dismissed. A judge says the Communications Decency Act provides the social media company with immunity. The couple had sued Snapchat and the driver in a Georgia court in April. They said Christal McGee had been driving on a highway south of Atlanta in September 2015 while using a Snapchat filter that puts the rate at which a vehicle is traveling over an image. The suit says McGee was trying to reach 100 miles an hour when her car hit theirs. Today’s action doesn’t stop the claims against McGee.
