(AP) \u2014 A Tokio woman has pleaded guilty to murder and child abuse in connection with her 5-year-old foster child’s death. The Bismarck Tribune reported Tuesday that Tammy Longie, also known as Tammy Onebear, pleaded guilty to second-degree murder, three counts of child abuse and child neglect. She’ll be sentenced in federal court in April. Agents from the Bureau of Indian Affairs and the FBI found the child’s body in the basement of a home on the Spirit Lake Reservation in May 2020. The child and a sibling were placed in foster care with Longie and her husband, Erich Longie, in July 2019.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n BISMARCK, N\/D\/ (AP) \u2014 An attorney general’s opinion says revenue distributed from an oil-tax agreement between the state and an American Indian tribe is being done correctly. Attorney General Wayne Stenehjem’s opinion Tuesday came after an inquiry from state Treasurer Thomas Beadle. An agreement between the Three Affiliated Tribes and the state was first authorized by the 2007 Legislature after oil companies said it would help promote investment on the Fort Berthold Reservation by setting up stable tax rates and rules. To date, the state and the Three Affiliated Tribes each have collected about $2 billion in oil tax revenue from drilling on the reservation.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) \u2014 A state judge has ruled that thousands of documents related to security during the construction in North Dakota of the heavily protested Dakota Access Pipeline are public and subject to the state\u2019s open records law. The ruling by South Central District Judge Cynthia Feland is a victory for The Intercept news organization, which sued in 2020 to get access to the documents for investigative journalism. The documents relate to Energy Transfer, the Texas-based company that built the pipeline, and TigerSwan, the North Carolina company that Energy Transfer hired to oversee security during construction. Energy Transfer argued the documents are confidential.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n In sports\u2026<\/p>\n Due to weather concerns on Tues.

Biden spoke from the White House about the omicron variant Tuesday before a meeting with his COVID-19 response team. He wants to convey his administration’s urgency and convince wary Americans that the current situation bears little resemblance to the onset of the pandemic or last year\u2019s deadly winter. Biden is emphasizing that vaccines, booster shots and therapeutic drugs have lessened the danger for the overwhelming majority of Americans who are fully vaccinated.<\/p>\n CHICAGO (AP) \u2014 Chicago schools have canceled classes Wednesday after the teachers union voted to switch to remote learning due to record COVID-19 levels. The move comes amid an escalating battle over safety protocols in schools. Officials in the nation’s third-largest school district say they won\u2019t switch back to online instruction districtwide, as it was devastating for children\u2019s learning and mental health. But the union says the district\u2019s safety protocols are lacking and both teachers and students are vulnerable. Both sides are negotiating metrics that would trigger school closures, among other things. School officials say buildings would remain open for administrators and staff and essential services like meals for students. The status of class the rest of the week was unknown.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n TEL AVIV, Israel (AP) \u2014 Israel says coronavirus infections in the country have spiked to a new record high since the start of the pandemic. The government reported on Wednesday that 11,978 new infections were diagnosed a day earlier, more than the previous high of 11,345 set Sept. 2. That’s despite weeks of restrictions aimed at boosting vaccination rates in the small, relatively wealthy country that had been a leader early in the pandemic. Now, the government is easing off on restrictions to keep the economy from shutting down. Prime Minister Naftali Bennett has tried to clarify constantly shifting pandemic policies. Israel is believed to be the first country to offer a 4th vaccination.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n BAGHDAD (AP) \u2014 Iraq’s military says a Katyusha rocket has struck an Iraqi military base housing U.S. troops at Baghdad\u2019s international airport.No damage or casualties were reported from the attack, the third in as many days since Monday\u2019s anniversary of a U.S. airstrike that killed top Iranian general Qassim Soleimani in Baghdad two years ago.The Iraqi military statement said a rocket launcher with one rocket was located in a district in western Baghdad. The area houses the headquarters of Iran-backed militias in Baghdad. Wednesday\u2019s attack is the third this week targeting Iraqi bases housing U.S. troops in Iraq .<\/p>\n <\/p>\n RICHMOND, Va. (AP) \u2014 Virginia officials are defending their response to the snowy gridlock that resulted on Interstate 95 after a winter storm dumped nearly 11 inches of snow. Officials noted the storm that started as rain, meaning roads couldn\u2019t be pretreated. It was followed by an unusually heavy snowfall and plunging temperatures. That created poor conditions that resulted in the stranding of hundreds of motorists overnight Monday into Tuesday along a stretch of one of the nation\u2019s biggest interstate highways. Many motorists sent out pleas for help on social media and criticized the response from Gov. Ralph Northam’s administration.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n DENVER (AP) \u2014 The late-season wildfire that tore through two densely populated Denver suburbs seemed destined to leave a trail of deaths. Yet, only two people are unaccounted for out of 35,000 forced from their homes. Disaster experts say it’s a remarkably low number of possible casualties, even though an alert system didn’t reach everyone and the blaze caught many off-guard. Several factors favored the evacuees. The fire came during daylight and over the holidays when many were home. Most had access to vehicles. It also might have helped that the area has emergency management personnel who have worked other recent wildfires.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" CSi Weather… ..WINTER WEATHER ADVISORY IN EFFECT\u00a0 TO 3 PM CST WEDNESDAY\u00a0 AFTERNOON…INCLUDES BARNES. …WIND CHILL ADVISORY IN EFFECT FROM 3 PM WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON TO MIDNIGHT CST Portions of northeast and southeast North Dakota including Barnes WIND CHILL WARNING IN EFFECT TO NOON CST THURSDAY… Including the cities of […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":59980,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[4],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-242450","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-wb-show"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/csinewsnow.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/242450","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/csinewsnow.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/csinewsnow.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/csinewsnow.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/csinewsnow.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=242450"}],"version-history":[{"count":15,"href":"http:\/\/csinewsnow.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/242450\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":242492,"href":"http:\/\/csinewsnow.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/242450\/revisions\/242492"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/csinewsnow.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/59980"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/csinewsnow.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=242450"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/csinewsnow.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=242450"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/csinewsnow.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=242450"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}![\"\"](\"http:\/\/csinewsnow.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/JAN-calendar-300x300.png\")
