 FAIRMOUNT, N.D. (AP) – Richland County Sheriff Larry Leshovsky
(luh-SHEHV’-skee) says a high school student in Fairmount who shot
himself in a classroom in an apparent suicide attempt is expected
to recover.
     Authorities aren’t identifying the freshman boy who shot himself
in front of classmates Thursday. The Breckenridge, Minn., hospital
he was taken to is not releasing his condition.

     Classes were called off after the Thursday morning incident. The
K-12 school with about 110 students was bringing in extra
counselors and the sheriff’s office was putting a deputy on patrol
there as school resumed Friday.

 

GRAND FORKS, N.D. (AP) – A man charged in what authorities say
is a synthetic drug ring that led to the overdose deaths of two
teenagers has pleaded guilty in federal court in Fargo.
22-year-old former University of North Dakota student Peter Hoistad
is the sixth person to reach a plea agreement with prosecutors in
the case.
     Investigators say the ring manufactured synthetic drugs that led
to the two deaths and the hospitalization of several other people
in Grand Forks in June.
     Hoistad pleaded guilty to a conspiracy charge and to
distributing illegal drugs.

Prosecutors dropped a charge that the
drugs resulted in injury and death, which could have landed Hoistad
in prison for life. He faces up to 30 years in prison when he is
sentenced Jan. 3.

with embezzlement and misapplication from a credit union, and false
entries.
     Court document show that the money was taken over a 24-year
period from the Glen Ullin Credit Union, now known as the Western
Cooperative Credit Union.
     Authorities say Schwartz paid back some of the money she took
from the accounts.
     The charge carries a maximum penalty of 30 years in prison. A
plea agreement calls for Schwartz to pay back the money and
recommends a sentence below the federal guideline range.
     Sentencing is set for Dec. 19.

 

BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) – A North Dakota assistant attorney general
has a frightening example of the effects of synthetic drug use.
     Julie Lawyer played a recording of a 911 emergency call to a
legislative committee that’s looking at the state’s laws against
synthetic drugs.
     The 17-year-old Larimore girl had been to a Grafton home and had
taken two “hits” from a pipe containing synthetic marijuana.
     She had a bad reaction, and when she was out driving, she called
911. When the operator asked what was wrong, the girl could only
scream incoherently.
     Lawyer says the call makes the hair on the back of her neck
stand on end.

when young animals are dispersing from their home ranges.

     Officials say most deer-vehicle crashes happen around dawn and
dusk, when deer are most often moving around.

 

FARGO, N.D. (AP) – North Dakota’s corn and soybean crops are expected to be record size.

 BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) – Democratic Senate candidate Heidi Heitkamp
said President Barack Obama’s energy policy is “wrong” and he
should replace his energy secretary and Environmental Protection
Agency director.
     Her remarks came during a Chamber of Commerce forum Thursday
night with Republican opponent Rick Berg. It focused on energy and
health care issues.
     A recent poll showed Heitkamp and Berg in a dead heat.
     Berg said a broader energy policy that includes oil and coal
development will help provide jobs and “ignite America’s fires
again.”
     Heitkamp has said Obama is hostile to oil and coal development.
She said Thursday she’d tell the president he is “wrong on energy
and headed in the wrong direction.”
     She said Obama needs to replace Energy Secretary Steven Chu and
EPA administrator Lisa Jackson.

last night as the Detroit Tigers topped the Oakland Athletics 6-0
to advance to the AL championship series.

Austin Jackson had two hits and drove in two runs for the Tigers. Detroit will face either the New York Yankees or Baltimore Orioles.
 
   NEW YORK (AP) – The Baltimore Orioles and New York Yankees are
going the distance to see who plays Detroit in the AL Championship
Series.
     J.J. Hardy’s RBI double in the 13th inning drove in the go-ahead
run in the Orioles’ 2-1 win over the Yankees.

That scored rookie Manny Machado, who opened the inning with a double. Nate McLouth’s leadoff homer in the fifth was the other Baltimore run.

 The sets up the decisive Game 5 Friday afternoon in the Bronx.

    NATIONAL LEAGUE

 CINCINNATI (AP) – Buster Posey had a grand slam as San Francisco
completed its startling comeback by holding off the Cincinnati Reds
6-4 in the decisive Game 5 of the NL division series. After
dropping the first two games at home, the Giants bounced back with
three straight wins at Cincinnati to move into the NL championship
series.
     The Giants are the first NL team to rally from a 2-0 deficit in
the division series, which began in 1995

 

 WASHINGTON (AP) – Jayson Werth fought off pitch after pitch.
Then finally on the 13th pitch thrown by reliever Lance Lynn, Werth
delivered the most important hit in the seven-year history of the
Washington Nationals.
     Werth lined a fastball over the left-field wall in the bottom of
the ninth to give the Nats a dramatic 2-1 victory over St. Louis to
extend their season for at least one more day. Earlier, Adam
LaRoche hit his second homer of the postseason.

The Nationals and Cardinals will decide this NL Division Series
Friday night in Washington.

NHL-LABOR
     NEW YORK (AP) – NHL arenas are dark, and now so are the
negotiating rooms.
     Hockey’s opening day came and went Thursday with no games and no
reason to be optimistic that players will be hitting the ice
anytime soon.
     The league and the union were back at the bargaining table,
hours before pucks were supposed to drop to open the regular
season, but again the sides didn’t even address the core economic
differences at the center of the lockout that has already lasted 26
days. There is no end in sight.
     
     NASCAR-QUALIFYING

     CONCORD, N.C. (AP) – Greg Biffle won the pole for Saturday

sustaining his second concussion this year during a 25-car car
pileup Sunday at Talladega. Regan Smith, who’ll drive Earnhardt’s
No. 88 Chevrolet, qualified 26th.
     By sitting out the next two races, Little E most certainly will
finish last in the 12-driver Chase race.

     NASCAR driver AJ Allmendinger will race this weekend for the
first time since his July drug suspension.

GOLF-EXHIBITION

     BELEK, Turkey (AP) – Justin Rose eliminated Tiger Woods from the

for the 300th week of his career by beating Stanislas Wawrinka
(vah-VINK’-ah) 4-6, 7-6), 6-0 in the third round of the Shanghai
Masters. When asked, Federer said of his 300th week on top of the
rankings, “It’s obviously an amazing number.”
     The Swiss star will play 10th-seeded Marin Cilic (CHIHL’-ihch)
in the quarterfinals.
    

 OBIT-COOK
       PITTSBURGH (AP) – Longtime ESPN college football commentator

since 1986.

He had previously been the sports information director
at his alma mater, the University of Pittsburgh, from 1956 to 1966.
The university announced that Cook had died in his sleep.
     After leaving his SID job at Pitt, Cook was ABC Sports’ press
director for the NCAA.

 

In world and national news…

 DANVILLE, Ky. (AP) – Vice President Joe Biden played the
aggressor in his debate with Republican Paul Ryan as the two
exchanged pointed comments on the economy, social policy and
America’s place in the world.

Now it’s up to the main players with 25 days to the election. President Barack Obama and Republican Mitt Romney have two debates left. Romney plans to be in Virginia today and head on to Ohio.
     
     WASHINGTON (AP) – An Associated Press review of documents finds
that Republican vice presidential candidate Paul Ryan has sought an
expansion of food stamps, stimulus money, federally guaranteed
business loans and other benefits for his Wisconsin constituents.
Such requests are at odds with Ryan’s public persona as a
small-government advocate and a fiscal conservative and critic of
federal handouts.
     
     MIAMI (AP) – The collapsed parking garage at Miami Dade
College’s west campus is still a search scene where crews are
looking for a man still missing two days after the structure fell.
Police told the missing man’s family it could take days to find
someone in the rubble. The collapse Wednesday killed three workers
and injured eight.
     
     BEIRUT (AP) – Anti-regime activists say an overnight battle saw
rebels seizing an air defense base belonging to the Syrian military
near the northern city of Aleppo. One activist says four rebels
were killed.
    
     OSLO, Norway (AP) – The European Union has been cited for
playing a “stabilizing part” in transforming the once torn
continent. The EU gets the Nobel Peace Prize for that effort.

The EU grew out of the tremendous devastation of World War II, fueled
by the conviction that ever-closer economic ties would make war
less likely.
    

WASHINGTON (AP) — It’ll cost another penny to mail a letter next year.

The cash-strapped U.S. Postal Service said Thursday that it will raise postage rates on Jan. 27, including a 1-cent increase in the cost of first-class mail to 46 cents.

It also will introduce a new global “forever” stamp, allowing customers to mail first-class letters anywhere in the world for one set price of $1.10. Currently, the prices vary depending on the international destination, with letters to Canada and Mexico costing 85 cents.

The mail agency also will increase rates on its shipping services, such as priority mail, by an average of 4 percent.
