(AP) \u2014 A federal judge has dismissed part of a lawsuit by a New York City woman who was severely injured in an explosion while protesting the Dakota Access oil pipeline in North Dakota four years ago. U.S. District Judge Daniel Traynor dismissed claims of defamation against law enforcement officials who made public statements blaming the woman for her own injury. Sophia Wilansky suffered an arm injury in a violent clash between protesters and police. Protesters allege the blast was caused by a concussion grenade thrown by officers, but law enforcement said it was caused by a propane canister that protesters rigged to explode. Wilansky is seeking millions of dollars and her claims in the lawsuit of alleged excessive force, assault, negligence and emotional distress are still pending.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n WASHBURN, N.D. (AP) \u2014 Authorities say a driver has been arrested in North Dakota after leading police on a chase in which speeds reached 120 mph. A McLean County sheriff\u2019s deputy tried stopping a driver for speeding on Highway 83 near Washburn Sunday afternoon. And when the deputy ran the driver\u2019s license, it showed he was wants on several warrants in North Dakota and Georgia. Officials say that as the deputy approached the vehicle the driver took off and led deputies on a chase through two counties. The chase finally ended after spike strips were put down near Baldwin, about 30 miles away.<\/p>\n MADISON, Wis. (AP) \u2014 A court commissioner has set cash bail for an Illinois 17-year-old accused of killing two people during a protest in Wisconsin at $2 million. Kyle Rittenhosue of Antioch faces multiple charges in the shootings in Kenosha in August. Rittenhouse made his initial court appearance in Kenosha on Monday. His attorney, Mark Richards, asked that bail be set at $750,000 and that Rittenhouse be on electronic monitoring. Prosecutors asked for $2 million. The father of one of the men who was killed demanded $4 million bail, saying Rittenhouse thinks he’s above the law. Keating ultimately sided with prosecutors, noting the charges are serious and calling Rittenhouse a flight risk.<\/p>\n In sports…<\/p>\n In world and national news…<\/p>\n WARREN, Mich. (AP) \u2014 As the final Election Day closes in, Americans are exhausted from constant crises, on edge because of volatile political divisions and anxious about what’s to come. Voters arriving in record numbers to cast early ballots say basic democratic foundations feel brittle: Will their vote count? Will the loser accept the result? Will the winner find a way to repair a sick and unsettled nation? Tension is ratcheted up, as each side believes the other is threatening to usher in the end of America as we know it.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n CLEVELAND (AP) \u2014 President Donald Trump and Democratic challenger Joe Biden are making their closing arguments in a final day of campaign events, a day before voters conclude the long, bitter 2020 presidential election. Each man is arguing that he is the better fit to steer a nation confronted with a once-in-a-century pandemic, the starkest economic contraction since the Great Depression and a citizenry divided on cultural and racial issues. Never before in modern history has America faced a choice between two candidates who offer such opposite visions in a time of such great stakes. More than 93 million people have already voted. Each campaign insists it has a pathway to victory.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n WASHINGTON (AP) \u2014 Joe Biden and Kamala Harris will spend Election Day in key battleground states. Biden plans to campaign in Scranton and Philadelphia on Tuesday. That follows a blitz by the Democratic ticket through Pennsylvania on Monday and indicates the importance of winning the state. Biden was born in Scranton and often speaks about the region in personal terms. Harris will visit Detroit, a heavily Black city in battleground Michigan. Her husband, Doug Emhoff, will be in Ohio. And Jill Biden will campaign in Tampa and St. Petersburg, Florida, as well as Wake County, North Carolina. President Donald Trump won all five states in 2016.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n WASHINGTON (AP) \u2014 She didn\u2019t have to wear a black robe or even be in Washington, but Justice Amy Coney Barrett joined her new colleagues at the Supreme Court on Monday to hear arguments for the first time. Because of the coronavirus pandemic, the high court began hearing cases by phone in May. That meant the public didn\u2019t see the new justice Monday, but at the beginning of the day\u2019s arguments Chief Justice John Roberts welcomed her publicly to her new role with the traditional greeting. He wished her \u201ca long and happy career in our common calling.\u201d<\/p>\n <\/p>\n AUSTIN, Texas (AP) \u2014 Texas has surpassed California in recording the highest number of positive coronavirus tests in the U.S. so far. The most recently available data from Johns Hopkins University says that as of Sunday there have been 937,317 COVID-19 cases reported in Texas. California has had 936,198 cases, followed by Florida with 807,412. The true number of infections is likely higher because many people haven\u2019t been tested, and studies suggest people can be infected and not feel sick. The Johns Hopkins data shows that Texas\u2019 seven-day rolling average of the positivity rate has risen over the last two weeks from 7.12% to 10.72%<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" CSi Weather… TONIGHT…Clear.

COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. (AP) \u2014 North Dakota is the consensus No. 1 team in college hockey, with the sport set to restart after an eight-month pause due to the pandemic. The preseason USA Today\/USA Hockey Magazine poll was released Monday. The Fighting Hawks also took the top rank in the USCHO.com poll published last week. North Dakota was followed by Boston College, Minnesota-Duluth, Denver, Minnesota State, Cornell, Massachusetts, Clarkson, Penn State and Ohio State.
