FARGO, N.D. (AP) – A Fargo church is cleaning up after a burglary and vandalism.
 
     Police say thieves late Sunday or early Monday broke several windows at the St. Anthony of Padua Catholic church, ripped cupboards from the walls and tried to break into a safe. They were unable to do so but did make off with a computer monitor.
 
     Damage is estimated at more than $5,000.

BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) – A Bismarck man and woman accused of locking three boys in a basement and physically abusing them have pleaded not guilty.
 
32-year-old Trevor Runningbear and 29-year-old Kacie Schaeffer are charged with felony child abuse or neglect. They both could face up to 15 years in prison if convicted.
 
     The two were arrested after a 9-year-old boy reported to school officials in May that his mother and her boyfriend abused him and his 3- and 6-year-old brothers, and locked them in a basement when the older boys were not in school.

FARGO, N.D. (AP) – A man found guilty of murder in Fargo 22 years ago is seeking a new trial.
 
     Reginald Tweed is serving a life sentence for killing 32-year-old Terry Dorff by hitting him five times in the head with a 17-pound rock, after Dorff allegedly made sexual advances while they were drinking in Dorff’s apartment.
 
     Tweed’s attorney, Thomas Tuntland, said during a hearing Monday in East Central District Court that Tweed’s former attorney did not do a good job of representing him during earlier appeals. The earlier attorney, Brian Nelson, and Cass County prosecutors disputed that.
 
     District Judge Frank Racek will rule later.

 DICKINSON, N.D. (AP) – The federal government has cited Halliburton for safety violations in the death of a worker in the western North Dakota oil fields.
 
     Mike Krajewski, 49, of Duluth, Minn., died Jan. 19 when a pipe struck him in the head at an oil rig site north of Watford City.
 
     The Occupational Safety and Health Administration concluded that Halliburton failed to maintain a safe worksite and is proposing $14,000 in fines.
 
     Houston-based Halliburton can contest the fines. Company spokeswoman Susie McMichael tells The Dickinson Press that the company is reviewing the matter.

     The North Dakota portion of the pipeline is about 80 miles long.
 
     The Vantage Pipeline will supply ethane for Alberta’s petrochemical industry. Ethane is a component of natural gas. It’s used to make plastics and speed up the ripening of fruits.
 
     The pipeline is estimated to cost $300 million and will be capable of carrying 40,000 to 60,000 barrels of ethane daily.   
 

FARGO, N.D. (AP) – Above-normal temperatures over the past week have quickened the ripening of small grains in North Dakota.
 
     But the Agriculture Department says in its latest crop and weather report that the hot weather also is rapidly drying soils, and moisture is needed in many parts of the state to aid the development of row crops.
 
     Topsoil moisture supplies are rated 77 percent adequate to surplus, and subsoil moisture 86 percent adequate to surplus.
 
     Hay and forage supplies are rated 89 percent adequate to surplus, and pasture and range conditions are 89 percent good to excellent.

     The  Abdullahs are renting an apartment in Dubai in the Burj Khalifa, the tallest man-made structure in the world at more than 2,700 feet. Ahmed Abdullah jokes that it’s “a trade up, I guess.”

In sports…

NEW YORK (AP) — Regis Philbin’s new colleagues were tapping away on their smartphones Monday, tweeting about his new sports talk show, and he blurted out: “All I’ve got is a bottle of water.”

“Crowd Goes Wild” premieres next month with the launch of cable channel Fox Sports 1, (Coming to CSi Cable, August 17, 2013);

It will weave back-and-forths with viewers into the broadcast. Producers even hired a social media correspondent.

And hosting all this is Philbin, who turns 82 six days after the premiere.

Sports may be the theme, but in some ways “Crowd Goes Wild” won’t feel much different from Philbin’s old morning talk shows.

He’ll open up each edition of the Monday-through-Friday program with a commentary, and then later interview a guest — who could be an athlete or an actor.

There will be debates on the hot sports topic of the moment, but Davies vows the conversations will be more nuanced than one person arguing the pro and another the con of the issue.

In world and national news…

SAN FRANCISCO (AP) – Church leaders, gun-rights advocates and other activists have united in an effort to halt a National Security Agency electronic surveillance program. A lawsuit filed Tuesday by an unusually broad coalition of plaintiffs seeks an injunction against the NSA, Justice Department, FBI and the agencies’ directors. The move comes after former NSA contractor Edward Snowden revealed a U.S. intelligence program that monitors Internet and telephone activity to ferret out terror plots.
 
     MOSCOW (AP) – National Security Agency leaker Edward Snowden has submitted a request for temporary asylum in Russia. His Russian lawyer says Snowden is claiming he faces persecution from the U.S. government and could face torture or death. He’s been staying in the Moscow airport since he left Hong Kong on June 23.
 
     PHOENIX (AP) – An Arizona judge says she expects a new sentencing trial for Jodi Arias will be scheduled for late September. But she’s giving lawyers more time to file motions. The jury that convicted Arias of murder in the death of her boyfriend Travis Alexander couldn’t agree on whether to sentence her to death. Her murder conviction stands, but prosecutors must now decide whether to try again for a death sentence with a new jury or to settle for life in prison.
 
     NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) – The Pilot Flying J truck-stop chain has agreed to pay back the trucking companies that were cheated out of fuel rebates. A federal judge in Arkansas has given preliminary approval to a class-action settlement that would pay the companies what they are owed with interest. Five employees have pleaded guilty to federal charges in the scheme. Pilot Flying J is owned by Jimmy Haslam (HAZ’-lam), who also owns the Cleveland Browns and is the brother of Tennessee Gov. Bill Haslam.
 
     WASHINGTON (AP) – Hundreds of thousands of homeowners facing higher federal flood insurance premiums would win a temporary one-year reprieve under a measure that’s beginning its advance through the Senate. The relief would go to homeowners in low-lying areas of Louisiana, Florida and other states where new government surveys could produce flood insurance premium increases so big that they might be no longer able to afford their homes.
