SIOUX FALLS, S.D. (AP) – Dakotas-based Sanford Health says it has acquired Sioux Falls-based biotech company Hematech.
Hematech is a subsidiary of Japanese pharmaceutical company Kyowa Hakko Kirin Co. Ltd. Sanford Health is based in Sioux Falls, S.D., and Fargo, N.D.
Sanford says the new company will be rebranded Sanford Applied Biosciences LLC. Terms of the Dec. 31 deal were not disclosed.
Sanford senior executive vice president Dave Link says Hematech has been conducting cutting-edge research in Sioux Falls for more than a decade. Links says that by coming together, Sanford can build on Hematech’s expertise and technology and bring about new solutions to serious health issues.
Hematech occupies more than 20,000 square feet of laboratory and office space in the Sioux Falls Technology Park.
FARGO, N.D. (AP) – A 30-year-old Fargo-area man accused of assaulting a fellow drug dealer in the course of a methamphetamine conspiracy has been sentenced to 27 years in prison.
Marc Cossette is charged in federal court with conspiracy to possess with intent to deliver a controlled substance. He pleaded guilty in September.
Prosecutor Chris Myers said during Friday’s sentencing that Cossette has a violent criminal history and it’s rare in this area for one drug dealer to beat up another.
Defense attorney Stormy Vickers asked for a sentence of less than 16 years. He told Judge Ralph Erickson that Cossette’s mother supplied him with drugs at age 13 and his client has not received proper treatment.
Cossette told Erickson he accepts responsibility for his actions, which he attributes to his own drug addiction.
BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) – North Dakota’s Agriculture Department is seeking a court judgment against the North American Bison Cooperative for allegedly failing to pay for cattle it had bought from six ranchers.
Agriculture Commissioner Doug Goehring says the bison co-op owes a fine of $49,000 for not paying the ranchers about $325,000 by last June. Goehring says the money wasn’t paid even though there was enough in a trust fund set up by the federal Grain Inspection, Packers and Stockyards Administration.
The cattle were bought for the North Dakota Natural Beef processing plant in Fargo, which closed last fall. The New Rockford-based bison co-op was a major shareholder in the beef plant and the two companies shared management.
MINNEWAUKAN, N.D. (AP) – A new $11 million school in the flood-plagued North Dakota town of Minnewaukan is open.
About 300 students filed into the facility for the first day of classes there on Thursday. The school replaces an aging, crowded facility a couple of miles away that had been threatened for years by the flooding Devils Lake.
The new school was funded by the state and federal government.
BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) – New gambling compacts that the state of North Dakota has signed with the five tribal groups in the state allow the Three Affiliated Tribes and the Standing Rock Sioux to have riverboat gambling.
The Spirit Lake Sioux had been the only tribe authorized to conduct gambling on waterways on its reservation.
Tribal gambling in North Dakota is regulated under the tribal-state agreements known as compacts, the first of which were signed in 1992. The the new ones were signed Thursday by Gov. Jack Dalrymple and tribal leaders.
In world and national news…
WASHINGTON (AP) – The Senate has now joined the House in approving legislation providing $9.7 billion to pay flood insurance claims for the many home and business owners hurt by Superstorm Sandy. Friday’s votes came more than two months after the storm hit and days after House Speaker John Boehner (BAY’-nur) outraged lawmakers in affected states, including Republicans, by putting off an earlier vote.
WASHINGTON (AP) – The U.S. job market proved resilient in December despite fears that the economy would tumble over the fiscal cliff. The Labor Department reports employers added 155,000 jobs, roughly matching the solid but unspectacular monthly pace of the past two years. The gains were not enough to reduce unemployment though, which remained at 7.8 percent.
WASHINGTON (AP) – Congress has made it official. Vice President Joe Biden presided over a Joint Session Friday to hear a tally of the Electoral College vote that affirms President Barack Obama’s re-election. The final official vote from all 50 states and the District of Columbia shows Obama with 51.1 percent of the popular, and Romney with 47.2 percent.
MIAMI (AP) – Prosecutors say an elderly Muslim cleric and his son in South Florida funneled thousands of dollars to the Pakistani Taliban to fund crimes in that country and the U.S. The trial of 77-year-old Hafiz Khan and 26-year old Izhar Khan began Friday with opening statements. Both have pleaded not guilty to charges of conspiracy and material support to terrorism.
UNDATED (AP) – Health officials are calling 2012 the nation’s worst year for whooping cough in nearly six decades. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention is still gathering information, but it already has reports of some 42,000 cases. That’s the most since 1955. Whooping cough tends to run in multi-year cycles, and experts say last year appears to have been a peak.
