BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) – Democratic candidate Heidi Heitkamp has won the U.S. Senate race in North Dakota, defeating Republican Rep. Rick Berg.

Heitkamp won the race by fewer than 3,000 votes, and Berg could have asked for a recount. He conceded the race Wednesday with a qualifier: He was stepping aside barring any unforeseen circumstances with the state canvasing board that certifies the race results.

That canvasing process is to begin Friday. It will account for late-arriving absentee ballots that were postmarked in time to be counted in the election. Berg had been expected to win the race, and Republicans had counted on his victory in their failed attempt to take control of the Senate.

MANDAN, N.D. (AP) – After scratching out a victory in North

will answer questions today.

the U.S. House.

Wahpeton, ND (KCSi-T.V. News) — The North Dakota Highway Patrol reports, two Tennesseeans were injured in a crash Wednesday afternoon (Nov 7, 2012).

drunk and causing the deaths of three of his friends guilty of
manslaughter.

Jurors found 24-year-old Taylor Berhow guilty yesterday of three counts of
manslaughter after about four hours of deliberation. Authorities
allege that Berhow had a blood-alcohol level more than three times
the legal limit for driving when he crashed into a tree on October
29th, 2011, killing 21-year-olds Charles Boehm and Trevor Erie and
22-year-old Eastmen Nadeau.

PHOENIX (AP) – The Maricopa County Sheriff’s Office in Arizona

years.

Mandan halfway house has been arrested in Fort Yates. Authorities

BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) – North Dakota Attorney General Wayne
Stenehjem is warning consumers about an Internet scam involving a
phony warning from the FBI. Stenehjem says the warning that appears
on the computer screen claims the computer has been linked to
illegal downloads. The “warning” is part of a virus that makes
the computer unusable.

OMAHA, Neb. (AP) – The Canadian company that wants to build
another oil pipeline to carry crude oil to Gulf Coast refineries
remains optimistic about the project after President Barack Obama
won re-election.
TransCanada spokesman Shawn Howard says the company believes
Obama will eventually approve the Keystone XL project once it
reaches his desk next year because it will deliver oil from a
friendly country.
But Howard says TransCanada is focused on finalizing the
pipeline’s new route through South Dakota and Nebraska. State
regulators will hold a public hearing on it December 4th.

NEW YORK (AP) – A blanket of thick, wet snow snapped
storm-weakened trees and downed power lines from Brooklyn to
storm-battered sections of the New Jersey shore and Connecticut,

Superstorm Sandy is pulling away. Roads in New Jersey are clear for
the morning commute, and rail lines into New York City are running
smoothly.

     TUCSON, Ariz. (AP) – A guilty plea three months ago assures
