\nTrollwood Performing Arts School administration building.
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The suit against Contemporary Builders Inc. seeks more than
\n$50,000, but the school district’s lawyer says fixing the wood

\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Sanford Health officials say a $1.7 million expansion and

BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) – A western North Dakota legislator says the
\nstate’s increased oil production shouldn’t all be exported.<\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Dickinson state Rep. Shirley Meyer is supporting a proposed tax
\nbreak for oil refining. It would exempt oil from North Dakota’s 6.5
\npercent extraction tax if the oil is processed at a North Dakota
\nrefinery.
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Meyer says the idea will promote more refinery development. She
\nsays although North Dakota is now the nation’s No. 2 oil producer,
\nthe emphasis is on exporting the oil instead of encouraging
\nrefinery construction here.
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 North Dakota is now producing an average of more than 700,000
\nbarrels of oil each day. There’s only one North Dakota refinery –
\nthe Tesoro refinery near Mandan. It can process about 68,000
\nbarrels a day.<\/p>\n

\ntwo, with Oregon and Kansas State close behind the Gators.
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The Crimson Tide in first was no surprise. Alabama is an
