The two workforce housing companies asked Judge Paul Jacobson to issue an injunction against the deadline, but the judge on Wednesday sided with the city.<\/p>\n Jacobson said the companies’ claims of irreparable harm were “speculative and unsupported.”<\/p>\n Mayor Howard Klug says the ruling validates the city’s actions, though the dispute is continuing in a separate case in federal court that also involves Halliburton as a plaintiff.

\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Authorities say 83-year-old Robert Slavick was driving a pickup truck that was struck by another pickup on Old Highway 10 west of Mandan on Tuesday afternoon.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Slavick’s pickup was pushed into a ravine, and he died at the scene.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The 35-year-old Mandan man driving the other pickup suffered unspecified injuries. The patrol says charges are pending against him.<\/p>\n
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Authorities say the boy about 4 years old was found near a fast food restaurant late Wednesday morning.\u00a0\u00a0It took police and Burleigh County Social Services officials more than five hours to locate his guardians.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Police arrested a 22-year-old woman and a 26-year-old man.<\/p>\n
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Sargent County Sheriff Travis Paeper is charged in Clay County, Minnesota, with disorderly conduct for the May 14 incident at the Red Hen Taphouse in Dilworth.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Paeper\u00a0says \u00a0the charge was a surprise.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Court documents say Paeper was sitting at a table with three women who asked him to leave after he said something they didn’t like. One woman said Paeper was “grabby.” Paeper told police that a woman hit him in the face five times for no reason.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Police say Paeper was uncooperative and criticized a Dilworth officer for not “backing a brother in blue.”
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Fifty-year-old Karen Beyer, of Moorhead, is also charged with disorderly conduct.<\/p>\n
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The North Dakota Supreme Court ordered the suspension Monday, saying Wade Enget violated rules of professional conduct in the representation of a private practice client.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Enget will be on probation for six months following his suspension and also was ordered to pay more than $7,100 to cover the costs of the disciplinary proceeding.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Enget did not immediately respond to an Associated Press request for comment Wednesday.<\/p>\n
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Authorities say Steven Kapfer’s company, Rebuilding Dreams, failed to complete contracting work for which he was paid. He allegedly received $18,000 in advance payments from 10 homeowners who hired him between July 2013 and May 2015 to complete small home repair and remodeling projects.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The suit calls for Kapfer to pay back the money to the homeowners and pay costs of the investigation.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Kapfer did not return a phone message seeking comment.<\/p>\n
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The three-day Mid-America Regulatory Conference begins Monday in Bismarck and brings together utility and energy regulatory agencies in states from the Dakotas to Texas.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 North Dakota Public Service Commissioner Brian Kalk was elected president of the group last year. The annual conference typically is held in the home state where the group’s president resides.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The group was formed 60 years ago. Its conferences are aimed at discussing regulatory and policy issues affecting member states and the nation.<\/p>\n
\n\u00a0Paul Singh is approaching the halfway mark of his 34-city trip in a customized travel trailer. He is hearing hundreds of sales pitches and in many cases writing big checks to startups. Before coming to North Dakota last week, he invested $100,000 in a Pittsburgh company.
\n\u00a0Singh told a gathering of startup founders in Fargo that they need to drop the “dinner party etiquette” and find their swagger. He later said in an interview that Fargo entrepreneurs are as good as their peers in every other city, but are getting overlooked.
\n\u00a0Singh will be spending the rest of the month in British Columbia and Montana.<\/p>\n
\nIn sports…<\/p>\n
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Joe Mauer and Byung Ho Park added solo home runs for Minnesota, which tied a season high with four homers in the opening game of the series on Tuesday against Minnesota.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Taylor Rogers (2-0) pitched one inning, and six relievers combined for 3 1\/3 scoreless innings. Brandon Kintzler earned his first career save in place of struggling closer Kevin Jepsen.
\n\u00a0

\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Twins’ Gardenhire says he would “love to manage again”
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 MINNEAPOLIS (AP) – Ron Gardenhire says he would “love to manage again” but that he’s not actively pursuing managerial jobs.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The former Twins manager was hired as a special assistant to Minnesota general manager Terry Ryan in April and said Wednesday he’s enjoying the role, which has him instructing and evaluating in the minor leagues.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 However, Gardenhire says “if a team decides to make a move and they want to talk to me, I’d be glad to talk to them because I’d love to manage again.”
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Gardenhire led Minnesota to six postseason appearances in 13 seasons and had a .507 winning percentage. He was replaced by Paul Molitor prior to the 2015 season.<\/p>\n

\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The company said Wednesday that the Euro 2016 opener between host France and Romania on Friday will shift from ESPN\u00a0CSi 14\u00a0to ESPN 2 CSi 18. Coverage of Ali’s memorial service from Louisville, Kentucky, will now air on ESPN. Broadcasts of both start at 1 p.m. Central time.

\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Former President Bill Clinton will deliver Ali’s eulogy at the KFC Yum! Center, which seats 15,000. Other speakers include family members, actor Billy Crystal, sportscaster Bryant Gumbel and representatives of multiple faiths. Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan (REH’-jehp TY’-ihp UR’-doh-wahn) and King Abdullah the Second of Jordan plan to attend, and actor Will Smith and former heavyweight champion Lennox Lewis are among eight pallbearers.<\/p>\n

\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The five-time major champion has been suspended from competition by the International Tennis Federation after testing positive for meldonium at the Australian Open. The ban is retroactive to her positive test following a quarterfinal loss to Serena Williams.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The ruling by an independent three-person panel appointed says Sharapova did not intend to cheat because she didn’t know meldonium was banned. But, she bears “sole responsibility” for the positive test. She was provisionally suspended by the ITF in early March, when she announced that she failed a doping test in January.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The five-time Grand Slam champion immediately said she will appeal to sport’s highest court.<\/p>\n

\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 WASHINGTON (AP) – House Speaker Paul Ryan is unveiling his own plan today to overhaul immigration and secure U.S. borders. Ryan says it’s a plan that would keep out extremists, criminals and drug cartels. He proposes “high fencing,” but steers clear of a plan by presumptive Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump to build a wall.

\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 JERUSALEM (AP) – Israel is responding after last night’s shooting attack by two Palestinian men near an outdoor Tel Aviv market. Four Israelis were killed. The Israeli military says it has revoked most permits for Palestinians to visit Israel and travel abroad during the Muslim holy month of Ramadan. And the military is also deploying two additional battalions in the West Bank.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0

A Somali official says a suicide bomber detonated the explosives in his vehicle early today at the gates of the Ethiopian military base before gunmen entered the base.

\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 CRYSTAL SPRINGS, Miss. (AP) – The body of one of two men missing in a landslide at a gravel pit in southern Mississippi has been found. A spokesman for the Mississippi Emergency Management Agency says rescuers found the body early today inside a piece of equipment. Officials with the Mining Safety and Health Administration say the two men were operating heavy equipment at a pit in Crystal Springs last Friday when they were buried in 10 feet to 12 feet of mud and slush.
