BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) – Everyone from students to lawmakers are getting the day off after a record-breaking snow storm in North Dakota over the weekend.
National Weather Service reports show as much as a foot and a half of snow fell in western and central North Dakota and northern South Dakota on Sunday.
The 17.3 inches of snow that fell in Bismarck set several records, including the most snow on any day of any year in the city. Fargo set a city record for the date with 6.3 inches. In South Dakota, Aberdeen set a city record for the date with 8 inches.
Many schools in North Dakota and northern South Dakota are closed or starting late, with roads closed or impassable. The North Dakota Legislature has canceled its Monday session.

BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) – North Dakota officials have closed Interstate 94 from Bismarck to Jamestown as heavy snow and high winds continue across the state.

Later yesterday afternoon, they closed it farther east from Bismarck to Jamestown.
No travel is advised for other highways in the Dickinson, Bismarck, Jamestown, Valley City and Fargo areas. Officials say the snow and wind may cause snow drifts in sheltered areas and some roadways may become blocked.

Jamestown, ND (KCSi-T.V. News) – The North Dakota Highway Patrol reports a pickup pulling a concession trailer operated by 33 year olf Tericia Mitchell of Seattle, WA was totaled on Sunday (Apr 14, 2013 about 12:45-p.m. on I-94, 5 miles east of Jamestown.
The vehicle was westbound on the right lane and crested a hill. Light snowfall and blowing snow caused a buildup of ice on the road. A strong northeast wind slid the trailer into the left lane. The driver attempted to correct the vehicle. The truck and trailer slid into the median and rolled. The truck came to rest on its top with its rear bumper elevated into the air as the trailer came to rest on its rear with the hitch upward.
Safety chains kept the units connected. Seat belts protected the occupants.
Neither Mitchell nor a passenger, 56 year old Suzette Dutton were injured.

FARGO, N.D. (AP) – North Dakota State University researchers have received a grant to study medical management services provided by pharmacists.

FORT TOTTEN, N.D. (AP) – Members of the Spirit Lake Nation have voted to oust chairman Roger Yankton over concerns about his leadership, but it’s unclear whether he actually has been removed from office.
The tribe’s constitution says a petition is needed to remove a chairman, and opponents of Yankton say they expect a legal battle.
Yankton didn’t attend the Sunday meeting of the tribal general assembly. He did appear at a meeting of elders on Friday and offered assurances that his administration would look into problems tribal members had identified, such as ineffective child protection services on the reservation.
The assembly chose tribal college administrator Leander “Russ” McDonald as the new chairman, but even he says the vote was likely illegal.

In world and national news..
WASHINGTON (AP) – A case before the Supreme Court today could have major implications for medical research and the biotech industry. The court is being asked to decide whether DNA patents are legal. The industry says they need to recoup the costs of research, which would be slowed if patents are disallowed. Opponents say the opposite is true; the lack of patents will broaden medical research.
WASHINGTON (AP) – Congressional investigators say the regulatory landscape is pretty open for specialty pharmacies like the one in Massachusetts that triggered a deadly meningitis outbreak last year. The investigation concludes that most states do not track or routinely inspect compounding pharmacies and pharmacy boards lack the information and expertise they need.

Dish Network is offering to buy Sprint Nextel Corp. in a cash-and-stock deal it values at $25.5 billion, saying its bid is superior to that of Japanese phone company SoftBank.

BAGHDAD (AP) – Officials say car bombs blew up all over Iraq today in what appear to be coordinated attacks that killed at least 31 people and wounded more than 200.

PYONGYANG, North Korea (AP) – Forget international pressure over North Korea’s nuclear program, there’s a party in Pyongyang.
