She added that the move based on moving out of the flood plain is also a non-issue, as city offices are in the flood plain and are protected in the event of flooding in the city.<\/p>\n

She said she took the opportunity to speak out on the issue at the City Commission meeting, and urged residence to speak to County Commissioners, if they feel the same way as she.<\/p>\n

\u00a0FARGO, N.D. (AP) – The president of the North Dakota Board of Higher Education wants the group to take another look at tuition rates. The board earlier this month approved a plan that would give colleges the option to raise tuition at various rates, from a low of 2.13 percent to a high of 6.63 percent. The plan passed by a 7-1 vote over another option favored by Chancellor Hamid Shirvani that would have kept tuition hikes at 2.5 percent for two-year schools, 3.5 percent for small four-year colleges and 4 percent for the two largest universities.<\/p>\n

\u00a0FARGO, N.D. (AP) – Federal prosecutors want the notes of mental health professionals who examined a man convicted of killing of a University of North Dakota student more than nine years ago.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Alfonso Rodriguez Jr., of Crookston, Minn., was sentenced to death after a jury found him guilty of raping, beating and stabbing Dru Sjodin (shuh-DEEN’) of Pequot Lakes, Minn., in 2003.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Defense attorneys in October 2011 filed a federal habeas corpus motion, considered the last step in the appeals process. The 298-page document claims, among other things, that Rodriguez is mentally disabled and his trial team was ineffective.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Prosecutors have filed a motion asking for results from several mental health examinations. Defense attorneys say the government has the notes it needs.

BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) – U.S. Rep. Kevin Cramer is defending comments he made this month linking legalized abortion with school shootings.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The North Dakota Republican during a graduation speech at the University of Mary said, “Forty years ago, the United States Supreme Court sanctioned abortion on demand. And we wonder why our culture sees school shootings so often.”
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Cramer has told The Forum and The Bismarck Tribune that his speech was about the erosion of American culture – something he’s talked about for years.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 State Democratic Party Director Chad Oban tells the Tribune that a college commencement wasn’t the proper venue for Cramer’s comments, and that Cramer was out of line.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Cramer says political correctness now seems more important than political discourse.<\/p>\n

\u00a0DETROIT (AP) – The Detroit Red Wings have a two-games-to-one lead in the NHL’s Western Conference semifinals following a 3-1 win over the top-seeded Chicago Blackhawks. The game was scoreless until Gustav Nyquist scored at 7:49 of the second period and Drew Miller tallied 31 seconds later. Pavel Datsyuk (DAHT’-sook) added an insurance goal in the third period after the Blackhawks had a game-tying goal waved off because of a crease violation.

\u00a0 ATLANTA (AP) – The Twins have recalled pitcher Caleb Thielbar and optioned lefty Pedro Hernandez to Triple-A. The moves were made before yesterday’s game in Atlanta.\u00a0 Thielbar got into last nights game in relief.<\/p>\n

Two seasons ago, Thielbar became the first player from the independent league St. Paul Saints to have his contract purchased by the Twins.<\/p>\n

NBA…<\/p>\n

\u00a0CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) – A person familiar with the situation says Charlotte Bobcats owner Michael Jordan is changing his team’s name to the Hornets and will announce the decision at a news conference tomorrow. NBA deputy commissioner and COO Adam Silver has said it would take “about 18 months” for the Bobcats to change their name. The nickname became available when the New Orleans Hornets changed theirs to the Pelicans.<\/p>\n

\u00a0SEATTLE (AP) – Investor Chris Hansen has congratulated Sacramento mayor Kevin Johnson on his efforts to keep the NBA’s Kings in California but vows to bring an NBA franchise back to Seattle. Hansen’s attempts to purchase the Kings and move them to Seattle were denied by the NBA Board of Governors last week in Dallas before Sacramento investors purchased a controlling interest in the team from the Maloof family. Hansen again called on Seattle fans to remain patient in the attempts of his investor group to either purchase an existing franchise or work for an expansion team.<\/p>\n

\u00a0MOORE, Okla. (AP) – It’s been a long night in the tornado-blasted suburbs of Oklahoma City and residents are bracing for a long day as well, digging through the rubble and hoping not to add to a death toll that’s at least 51. Overnight, spotlights illuminated massive piles of shredded cinder block, insulation and metal as crews did their grim work. Scores of blocks that used to be neighborhoods have been flattened.

\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 WASHINGTON (AP) – The nation will hear from President Barack Obama today as he speaks in the aftermath of the devastating tornado near Oklahoma City that killed at least 51 people. Obama has already declared a major disaster. He’ll meet this morning with his disaster response team before making remarks.

\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 WASHINGTON (AP) – A deal on a revamping of immigration policy remains elusive but the Senate Judiciary Committee hopes to nail down a compromise on high-tech visas today. But the measure would likely emerge from committee without a provision granting same-sex spouses the same access to legal status as heterosexual spouses are entitled to. The legislation’s goal is to grant a shot at citizenship to millions living in the country illegally.<\/p>\n

\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 WASHINGTON (AP) – The man who ran the Internal Revenue Service when agents were improperly targeting tea party groups gets called on the carpet today at a hearing on Capitol Hill.

The Israeli military says gunfire hit an Israeli patrol and troops fired back. The two sides appeared to be referring to the same incident.
