\u00a0MINOT, N.D. (AP) – A North Dakota man accused of killing the mother of his child and three other people in Minot two years ago has been convicted on four counts of murder.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The\u00a0 jury found 28-year-old Omar Mohamed Kalmio guilty on the four counts of murder in the Jan. 2011, shooting deaths of 19-year-old Sabrina Zephier, her mother, brother and mother’s boyfriend.
\n\u00a0

\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 His sentence is pending.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Kalmio’s trial began Jan. 23.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u00a0BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) – Gov. Jack Dalrymple has signed into law a bill that immediately provides $720 million for highway and road improvement projects in the state.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Dalrymple recommended and the Legislature agreed to fast track Senate Bill 2176 so that construction projects could start at the start of the 2013 construction season.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The appropriation is part of a larger $2.7 billion transportation funding package.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u00a0BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) – State and social services officials say a proposal to require drug testing for certain recipients of public assistance in North Dakota might be unconstitutional.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Rep. Dennis Johnson is the prime sponsor of the bill. The Devils Lake Republican told the House Human Services Committee that the bill is intended to provide an incentive to keep people off drugs.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The state could deny public assistance for one year after the date of a positive drug test, and three years after the date of a second positive test.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The measure would not affect assistance for children. A third-party would manage the aid if a parent or guardian tested positive for illegal drugs.<\/p>\n

Representative Eliot Glassheim says raising the price on a pack of cigarettes acts as an incentive to quit smoking.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) – A bill in the North Dakota Senate would clamp down on who can access information from a crash report.\u00a0
\n\u00a0
\nUnder Senate Bill 2310, personal identifying information like driver identification numbers, names, addresses or telephone numbers would be confidential to anyone but the people involved in a crash or their legal representatives or insurers.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Bill sponsor Sen. Dave Oehlke says it would protect the wrong people from getting information.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 But a lobbyist for the North Dakota Newspaper Association and the North Dakota Broadcasters Association submitted written testimony in opposition of the bill.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Jack McDonald says closing off access to the details would force media to rely on second-hand information. He added that the public would not be well-served.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u00a0MINOT, N.D. (AP) – The only livestock auction company in Minot is going out of business, though a co-owner still hopes it can reopen somewhere else under new ownership.

\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Northern Livestock Auction has been a staple of the area ranching scene for more than half a century, but it’s being forced to close to make way for new BNSF Railway tracks.

\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Co-owner Roger Sundsbak says a party whom he declined to identify is interested in buying the business and re-establishing it in a different location, but financing must be arranged. Sundsbak says he doesn’t know if that will happen.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Northern Livestock has handled about 60,000 animals annually in recent years.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u00a0BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) – A former officer with the Three Affiliated Tribes in North Dakota has pleaded not guilty to roughing up suspects during two separate arrests.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 A grand jury in December indicted Lindrith Tsoodle on four counts, including two charges of civil rights violations. He allegedly assaulted one man in November 2010 and another man in December 2010.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Tsoodle is also charged with witness tampering and false statements. The indictment says he attempted to convince a witness not to report one of the incidents to other law enforcement officials and lied to a federal agent about the assault.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Trial is scheduled for March 12 in Bismarck.
\n\u00a0

NEW YORK (AP) – The Minnesota Wild have traded forwards Darroll Powe and Nick Palmieri to the New York Rangers for forward Mike Rupp. The deal was announced hours before the Wild faced Phoenix yesterday. The 27-year-old Powe has yet to record a point in eight games this season.<\/p>\n

A.P. Mens Basketball Poll<\/p>\n

Feb 4, 2013<\/p>\n

For the fifth straight week there is a new No. 1 in The Associated Press’ college basketball poll. This time it’s Indiana.<\/p>\n

The Hoosiers, the preseason No. 1 who held the top spot for the first five weeks of the regular season, moved up two places Monday, following their weekend win over No. 1 Michigan and No. 2 Kansas’ loss to Oklahoma State.<\/p>\n

Duke started the current streak of new No. 1s and was followed by Louisville, Duke again, Michigan and Indiana. The last time there were five No. 1s in as many weeks was the last five polls of 2008-09 when it was Connecticut, Pittsburgh, Connecticut again, North Carolina and Louisville.<\/p>\n

The Hoosiers received 58 first-place votes from the 65-member national media panel while Florida, which jumped two spots to second, got the other seven.<\/p>\n

Michigan fell to third and was followed by Duke, Kansas, Gonzaga, Arizona, Miami, Syracuse and Ohio State.<\/p>\n

There were four newcomers to the poll this week: Georgetown, Oklahoma State, Pittsburgh and Notre Dame, all of whom were ranked at some point this season. They replaced Wichita State and Mississippi, which both lost two games last week and fell from 15th and 16th, North Carolina State, which was No. 6 in the preseason poll and also lost twice last week, and San Diego State.<\/p>\n

With the return of Georgetown, Pittsburgh and Notre Dame the Big East has seven teams ranked in the Top 25, two more than the Big Ten.<\/p>\n

MLB…<\/p>\n

\u00a0UNDATED (AP) – The Detroit Tigers have avoided salary arbitration with right-hander Max Scherzer (SHUR’-zur) by working out a one-year pact worth over $6.7 million.<\/p>\n

The Oakland Athletics have acquired infielder Jed Lowrie and right-hander Fernando Rodriguez from the Houston Astros for first baseman Chris Carter, pitching prospect Brad Peacock and minor league catcher Max Stassi.<\/p>\n

\u00a0The San Francisco Giants have claimed infielder Tony Abreu (ah-BRAY’-oo) off waivers from the Kansas City Royals.<\/p>\n

\u00a0Former Cy Young Award winner Brandon Webb has retired due to shoulder problems that have prevented him from pitching in the majors since 2010. Webb was a 22-game winner in 2008, two years after winning the Cy Young Award with a 16-8 record and a 3.10 ERA.<\/p>\n

\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 NEW YORK (AP) – Baltimore’s win over San Francisco in the NFL championship game fell short of setting a fourth straight viewership record. An estimated 108.4 million people watched Super Bowl 47 on CBS, which requested that the ratings figure not include a 30-minute period when there was a partial power outage in the Superdome.
\n\u00a0

\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Football viewership in general declined this year. But with a thrilling finish, this year’s game did become the fourth Super Bowl to record more than 100 million viewers.<\/p>\n

MIDLAND CITY, Ala.

\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 AUSTIN, Texas (AP) – A new study from the Texas A&M finds the cost of traffic congestion to Americans was up $1 billion in 2011 over 2010 for a total of $121 billion. For commercial truck drivers alone, wasted time and diesel fuel amounted to $27 billion. The study finds the worst commute is the nation’s capital, followed by Los Angeles, San Francisco-Oakland, New York-Newark, Boston, Houston, Atlanta, Chicago, Philadelphia and Seattle.<\/p>\n

The 787s have been grounded while the problem is studied. Investigators say they found signs of a “thermal runaway,” a chemical reaction in which rising temperature generates even more heat.
