Even if visually the snowpack appears to be considerably depleted, the runoff has not yet reached Pipestem Creek or the James River. Much of the meltwater generated is still trapped on the countryside and is expected to begin showing up in earnest during the latter half of March. Downstream of Jamestown has seen only modest amounts of water making its way into the James and Maple Rivers. While it would have<br \/>\nbeen beneficial to see the latest warm spell last a few more days to<br \/>\nhelp remove more SWE from the countryside, it would appear that this<br \/>\narea will now be entering a week or more of suspended animation.<br \/>\nThis suspension of the melt and potential for adding more SWE over<br \/>\nthe coming days are part of what is keeping the risk for flooding<br \/>\nsubstantially elevated at points along the lower James River in<br \/>\nNorth Dakota.<\/p>\n<p>The Prairie Pothole region, including at least parts of Sheridan,<br \/>\nWells, Kidder, Stutsman, Logan, McIntosh and Dickey counties have<br \/>\nenough SWE to suggest overland flooding will continue to be a<br \/>\nconcern going into spring.<\/p>\n<p>North Dakota&#8217;s governor says health officials are focusing their efforts on protecting elderly residents and those with chronic conditions after a man in his 60s became the first person in the state to test positive for the coronavirus. Health officials said the Ward County man traveled to the East Coast and had contact with a person who also tested positive for the disease. He has isolated himself at home and his symptoms appear to be mild. Meanwhile, North Dakota State and the University of North Dakota said they were moving to online classes. And Democrats canceled their state convention in Minot.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>FARGO, N.D. (AP) \u2014 Volunteers who are filling sandbags in the Fargo and Moorhead, Minnesota area caught a brief break Thursday when the National Weather Service slightly lowered its spring flooding forecast in the southern Red River Valley. Fargo Mayor Tim Mahoney says his city is now preparing for a 38-foot flood, rather than the original 39-foot estimate that would have required a stockpile of 400,000 sandbags. The new forecast will drop that to 250,000 bags. The outlook also warns of a late spring thaw, raising the possibilities of a heavy snow or rain event in April. Weather service forecaster Greg Gust calls the flood threat \u201cstill very real and quite high.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-medium wp-image-65566\" src=\"http:\/\/csinewsnow.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/02\/BaeslerKirsten-300x202.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"202\" srcset=\"https:\/\/csinewsnow.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/02\/BaeslerKirsten-300x202.png 300w, https:\/\/csinewsnow.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/02\/BaeslerKirsten-259x175.png 259w, https:\/\/csinewsnow.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/02\/BaeslerKirsten.png 445w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/>BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) \u2014 North Dakota State Superintendent Kirsten Baesler has pleaded guilty to drunken driving the day after she was charged. The Bismarck Tribune reports Baesler pleaded guilty Wednesday to misdemeanor DUI under a plea agreement. A judge accepted the plea deal on Thursday. The agreement includes almost a year of unsupervised probation, a $500 fine and $250 in court fees. Court documents say a state trooper saw Baesler weaving across the center line before he stopped her Feb. 26 in Mandan and that she failed field sobriety tests, but refused a breath test.

The decision came one day after the NCAA announced games that were scheduled to start next week would be played in mostly empty arenas. That plan was scrapped as every major American sports league put the brakes on their seasons due to concerns about the pandemic. The NCAA also canceled its championships in every winter and spring sport, including hockey, baseball and lacrosse.<\/p>\n<p>All remaining Division I conference basketball tournaments have been canceled. Moments away from tipoff at some arenas, and minutes apart, each Power Five conference canceled its remaining games. The Big East game between Creighton and St. John&#8217;s began at Madison Square Garden but was called off at halftime. Smaller conferences followed suit, shutting down their tournaments.<\/p>\n<p>Major League Baseball has delayed the start of its season by at least two weeks because of the coronavirus outbreak. Opening day had been scheduled for March 26, and the decision announced by Commissioner Rob Manfred left open whether each team would still play 162 games. MLB also suspended the rest of its spring training schedule.<\/p>\n<p>The NHL has put its season on pause, effective immediately, because of the coronavirus pandemic. The move came one day after the NBA suspended its season following a positive test for COVID-19 by a Utah Jazz player. Commissioner Gary Bettman said the hope is to resume play later and still award the Stanley Cup. The NHL Players&#8217; Association backed the decision, calling it \u201can appropriate course of action at this time.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The PGA has canceled the remainder of The Players Championship, along with three tournaments leading up to The Masters. Tour officials had planned to ban spectators for at least the next month, beginning with the second round today at TPC Sawgrass. Also shut down were the Valspar Championship next week near Tampa, the Dell Match Play in Austin, Texas, and the Valero Texas Open in San Antonio.<\/p>\n<p>Hideki Matsuyama (hih-DEH\u2019-kee maht-soo-YAH\u2019-mah) was the first-round leader after firing a 6-under 63.<\/p>\n<p>In other virus-related developments:<\/p>\n<p>\u2014 The Toronto Raptors say their players, coaches and traveling staff have been advised to isolate themselves for 14 days because they recently played the Utah Jazz. Utah center Rudy Gobert (goh-BEHR\u2019) tested positive for the virus COVID-19, prompting the NBA to suspend its season Wednesday until further notice. A second member of the Jazz, Donovan Mitchell, has since confirmed he has also tested positive for the coronavirus.<\/p>\n<p>\u2014 The Washington Wizards say their players, coaches and basketball operations personnel will self-quarantine for the next three to four days because they played at the Utah Jazz on Feb. 29. Washington also played Tuesday against the New York Knicks, another recent opponent of the Jazz.<\/p>\n<p>\u2014 The Detroit Pistons and Boston Celtics all said they were having some players and staff self-quarantine for as many as 14 days. Like the Raptors and Wizards, the Pistons and Celtics have had recent games against the Jazz. The Cleveland Cavaliers played Utah March 2 and say they don\u2019t plan to mandate quarantines unless players exhibit symptoms.<\/p>\n<p>\u2014 The San Jose Sharks say a part-time employee at their arena has tested positive for the coronavirus. The team says the person last worked a game March 3, two days before the Santa Clara County public health department recommended moratorium on public gatherings of more than 1,000 people. The Sharks say the person is under self-quarantine and receiving care from medical professionals.<\/p>\n<p>\u2014 NFL teams are curtailing or completely stopping scouting operations as a safeguard against the spread of the new coronavirus. The Washington Redskins, Minnesota Vikings, Miami Dolphins, Tennessee Titans, Tampa Bay Buccaneers and New York Jets have ordered their scouts and assistant coaches to return home. The league canceled its main owners meeting scheduled for later this month in Palm Beach, Florida.<\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta has tested positive for the coronavirus, forcing the club to put the entire first team in self-isolation and leading to the postponement of Saturday\u2019s Premier League match against Brighton. The league reacted by saying it will hold an emergency meeting on Friday to discuss \u201cfuture fixtures,\u201d just hours after saying it would be pushing ahead with a full schedule of games and stadiums with fans.<\/p>\n<p>\u2014 A person with knowledge of the situation tells The Associated Press that UEFA (yoo-AY\u2019-fah) is nearing a decision to postpone the European Championship by a year to 2021 as the continent grapples with the pandemic. A final decision will come when the UEFA executive committee meets on Tuesday after talks with clubs and leagues.<\/p>\n<p>\u2014 The LPGA has postponed three U.S.-based tournaments, including the ANA Inspiration in Rancho Mirage, California, on April 2-5. The ANA Inspiration is the first major of the LPGA season.<\/p>\n<p>\u2014 IndyCar and NASCAR will both race this weekend without spectators over fears of the COVID-19 pandemic. IndyCar is scheduled to open its season Sunday on the streets of St. Petersburg, Florida. NASCAR will race this week at Atlanta and next week at Homestead-Miami Speedway under similar restrictions.<\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Formula One organizers have canceled the season-opening Australian Grand Prix hours ahead of the first official practice sessions because of concern over the spreading coronavirus. The move follows McLaren&#8217;s decision to withdraw after one of its team members tested positive for the virus.<\/p>\n<p>\u2014 The ATP has suspended all men&#8217;s professional tennis tournaments for six weeks because of the coronavirus outbreak. And the WTA is dropping next week\u2019s tournament in Guadalajara, Mexico, and April tournaments in Bogota, Colombia and Charleston, South Carolina.<\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Churchill Downs said preparations to hold the Kentucky Derby on May 2 are up in the air. Track officials issued a statement saying that with the event still seven weeks away, a decision will be made closer to that date with respect to postponing the event until later in the year.<\/p>\n<p>PGA-PLAYERS CHAMPIONSHIP<\/p>\n<p>PGA scrubs remainder of Players Championship<\/p>\n<p>PONTE VEDRA BEACH, Fla. (AP) \u2014 The PGA Tour has decided to scrap the rest of The Players Championship and shut down its other tournaments for the next three weeks.<\/p>\n<p>Commissioner Jay Monahan had said earlier Thursday there would be no fans at the TPC Sawgrass for the final three rounds, or at the next three tournaments on the PGA Tour schedule. The tour changed its mind late Thursday.<\/p>\n<p>There was no immediately word whether The Players Championship would be rescheduled.<\/p>\n<p>Hideki Matsuyama (hih-DEH\u2019-kee maht-soo-YAH\u2019-mah) was the first-round leader after firing a 6-under 63.

Lab results and the timetable for Mancini&#8217;s recovery will not be known until next week.<\/p>\n<p>The Orioles provided few details immediately after Mancini left the team on Saturday, saying only that he was slated to undergo \u201ca non-baseball medical procedure.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>He hit .291 with 35 home runs last season while serving as an outfielder, first baseman and designated hitter.<\/p>\n<p>NFL-NEWS<\/p>\n<p>Packers release Graham<\/p>\n<p>UNDATED (AP) \u2014 The Green Bay Packers have released tight end Jimmy Graham after the 33-year-old veteran spent two seasons with the franchise.<\/p>\n<p>Graham caught 38 passes for 447 yards and three touchdowns last season. He had 55 receptions for 636 yards and two scores in 2018. The five-time Pro Bowl selection previously played with New Orleans and Seattle.<\/p>\n<p>The move creates about $8 million in cap space for the Packers.<\/p>\n<p>In other NFL news:<\/p>\n<p>\u2014 A person familiar with the decision says the Dolphins have decided not to pick up a contact option on center Daniel Kilgore, allowing him to become a free agent next week. Kilgore started 13 games for the Dolphins last season, when they ranked 27th in offense and went 5-11.<\/p>\n<p>\u2014 The Titans have waived linebacker Cameron Wake after one season of what had been a three-year contract. The Titans also announced they waived running back Dion Lewis, who still had two years left on the contract he signed in in March 2018.<\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Former wide receiver Del Shofner has died of natural causes at 85. Shofner split his 11-year NFL career with the Rams and Giants, grabbing 349 passes for 6,470 yards and 51 touchdowns. He led the league with 1,097 receiving yards with the Rams in 1958 and later combined with Hall of Fame quarterback Y.A.

Normally, several thousand people from many countries gather on the earthen banks of Olympia&#8217;s ancient stadium to watch the ceremony.<\/p>\n<p>The International Olympic Committee has stressed that the July 24-Aug. 9 games will go ahead as planned and urged all athletes to continue to prepare for the Olympics.<\/p>\n<p>TOKYO-TRUMP<\/p>\n<p>Trump &#8220;postpone&#8221; idea shot down by Japanese Olympic minister<\/p>\n<p>TOKYO (AP) \u2014 President Donald Trump&#8217;s suggestion to postpone the Tokyo Olympics for a year because of the spreading coronavirus was immediately shot down by Japan&#8217;s Olympic minister.<\/p>\n<p>Seiko Hashimoto, an Olympic bronze medalist, told a news conference on Friday in Tokyo that the IOC says \u201cabsolutely not at all\u201d is it considering canceling of postponing the games.<\/p>\n<p>The International Olympic Committee and Tokyo organizers have stayed on message since the viral outbreak in China three months ago spread across Asia and then the globe: The games will open as schedule on July 24.<\/p>\n<p>Television broadcasters and sponsors have billions invested in the Olympics, and the crowded international sports calendar has little space for pushing the games back a year. Holding the Olympics without fans has been floated, as has simply canceling the Olympics, which has only happened during wartime.<\/p>\n<p>RUSSIAN DOPING<\/p>\n<p>Russia restricted to 10 athletes in track at Tokyo Olympics<\/p>\n<p>MONACO (AP) \u2014 Russia&#8217;s track team was limited to 10 athletes for the Tokyo Olympics and the country&#8217;s federation was fined $10 million by the sport&#8217;s governing body on Thursday.<\/p>\n<p>World Athletics passed the latest package of sanctions after the Russian track federation&#8217;s new president accepted charges that fake documents were used under the previous management to give a top athlete an alibi for missing a doping test.<\/p>\n<p>World Athletics will restart a system to vet Russian competitors and allow them to compete as neutral athletes.

Dutton said Friday he was in isolation in a hospital after confirmation he has the virus.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>BANGKOK (AP) \u2014 European markets have opened mostly higher after a turbulent trading session in Asia. Shares rose in Paris and London but fell 6.1% in Japan following Wall Street&#8217;s biggest drop since the 1987 Black Monday crash. Friday the 13th brought wild swings for some markets as governments stepped up precautions against the spread of the new coronavirus and considered ways to cushion the blow to their economies. India&#8217;s Sensex gained 4% after plunging 10% when it opened, triggering a brief halt to trading. U.S. futures were up more than 2% after the Federal Reserve and European Central Bank pledged more support for markets churned by a cascade of shutdowns across the globe.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>DUBAI, United Arab Emirates (AP) \u2014 Dubai says it will hold a major horse race without spectators later this month in response to the new coronavirus, as a senior adviser to Iran&#8217;s supreme leader was quarantined at home after testing positive. Persian Gulf countries have been scrambling to contain the outbreak, which has infected thousands of people in nearby Iran \u2014 one of the largest clusters of cases outside China. The Dubai World Cup, planned for March 28, is the world&#8217;s richest purse for horse racing, with a $12 million prize last year.

Everyone arriving in Beijing must be quarantined for 14 days, and South Korea is screening arriving passengers from more countries as the number of cases rises across Europe. Both countries have seen a decline in new infections, with China reporting just eight and South Korea 110 on Friday. In a role reversal, China is evacuating its citizens from one virus-hit country and sending medical gear and doctors to help with outbreaks abroad.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>TORONTO (AP) \u2014 Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau&#8217;s wife has tested positive for the new coronavirus.
