\u00a0FARGO, N.D. (AP Jul 31, 2013) \u2013 North Dakota\u2019s public college presidents will have to wait before getting a pay raise.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The state Board of Higher Education on Wednesday delayed action on the pay hikes until several salary options presented by acting chancellor Larry Skogen are considered. Skogen is slated to work with two board members to come up with a recommendation to present to the entire board in the next few weeks.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Raises for the 10 college presidents would be retroactive to July 1.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Skogen himself is the president of Bismarck State College. Skogen took over for Hamid Shirvani, whose three-year contract was bought out by the board after just one year on the job.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The board on Wednesday approved paying Skogen an additional $4,000 monthly during the search for a new chancellor.<\/p>\n

\u00a0FARGO, N.D. (AP) – A judge has blocked a North Dakota law that requires doctors who perform abortions to have hospital admitting privileges, after opponents of the bill argued it was unconstitutional.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 East Central District Judge Wickham Corwin heard arguments Wednesday about the bill, one of four anti-abortion laws passed this year by the Republican dominated Legislature and signed by Gov. Jack Dalrymple.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Afterward, Corwin said he would issue a preliminary injunction stopping the law from taking effect Thursday.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Officials at the Red River Women’s Clinic in Fargo, the state’s sole abortion provider, have said the bill would likely force them out of business. The clinic is served by out-of-state physicians.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Republican Rep. Spencer Berry, the bill’s sponsor, has said the legislation is meant to assure the health and safety of women.<\/p>\n

\u00a0FARGO, N.D. (AP) – Two men have pleaded guilty in North Dakota to charges they smuggled guns into Canada.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Federal prosecutors in Fargo say a 29-year-old Canadian, Shawn Hartnell, of Fort Frances, Ontario, pleaded guilty to conspiracy to export firearms illegally. Twenty-year-old Dylan Dowton, of Jerome, Idaho, pleaded guilty to aiding Hartnell in illegally obtaining guns.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0 Hartnell had been smuggling firearms into Canada for more than a year.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 According to the indictment, Hartnell sent Dowton $10,000 to buy guns in Idaho and deliver them to Grand Forks. Hartnell then sold six semi-automatic weapons for $24,000 to undercover U.S. and Canadian agents posing as Canadian buyers last February in the parking lot of the Settle Inn hotel in Grand Forks.<\/p>\n

\u00a0FARGO, N.D. (AP) – A man from Honduras will serve more than a year in prison for smuggling people into the U.S. through North Dakota.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Twenty-six-year-old Darwin Cantarero-Sanchez was sentenced Wednesday in Bismarck to one year and one day in prison on a charge of conspiracy to transport illegal alien and then another 117 days for improper entry by an alien.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Federal prosecutors say that on April 6, Cantarero-Sanchez and seven other people were arrested about a half-mile south of the Sherwood Port of Entry after illegally crossing the border.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Two of the people say they paid Cantarero-Sanchez $2,000 and $1,500 to smuggle them into the U.S. from Montreal, Quebec, and he then led the group around the port of entry crossing illegally.<\/p>\n

BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) – North Dakota has more than 320 new laws that will take effect Thursday, including limits on abortion and a measure that allows churchgoers with a concealed-carry permit to pack a gun if officials there allow it.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Cruelty to animals also can be prosecuted as a felony in North Dakota beginning Thursday. And someone convicted of malfeasance or bribery can run for city council.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Gov. Jack Dalrymple signed 503 bills into law this year after the Republican-led Legislature took the entire 80 days allowed by law to finish its work.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Most of the laws take effect Aug. 1, although spending bills generally become law in July.<\/p>\n

\u00a0DICKINSON, N.D. (AP) – The suspect in a New Year’s Eve shooting outside a bar in the North Dakota town of Gladstone wants the case dismissed.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Defense attorney Kevin McCabe is asking a judge to throw out an attempted murder charge against Robert York, saying prosecutors have presented insufficient evidence.
\n\u00a0
\nA hearing was held Tuesday in Dickinson. Judge William Herauf did not immediately make a decision.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 York is accused of trying to shoot Gladstone resident Justin Willis in the face with a sawed-off shotgun after an apparent bar fight in the oil patch community. Authorities say York came to North Dakota from Phoenix, but court documents list his address as Hedrick, Iowa. He has pleaded not guilty.<\/p>\n

WASHINGTON (AP) – Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel is warning that the Pentagon may have to mothball up to three Navy aircraft carriers and order more sharp reductions in the size of the Army and Marine Corps if Congress doesn’t act to avoid massive budget cuts beginning in 2014. Hagel told Pentagon reporters Wednesday that the full result of the sweeping budget cuts over the next 10 years could leave the nation with an ill-prepared, under-equipped military doomed to face more technologically advanced enemies.

\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 LAS VEGAS (AP) – The head of the National Security Agency\u00a0 faced some heckling Wednesday at a hacker’s conference in Las Vegas, where he offered no apologies for methods used by the NSA to, in his words, connect the dots and go after bad guys who aim to kill people. Army Gen. Keith Alexander told the tech-savvy audience that the ability to look for patterns in telephone and email communications has stopped terror attacks in the U.S. and other countries.\u00a0

\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 WASHINGTON (AP) – The Federal Reserve says the U.S. economy is growing modestly, a downgrade from its June assessment. The Fed expects growth will pick up in the second half of the year, but the more cautious message may signal it’s not ready to slow its bond purchases soon. The statement came after a two-day policy meeting. Stocks had held onto their earlier gains in Wednesday afternoon trading.

\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 CLEVELAND (AP) – An Ohio prosecutor says he’ll present evidence at the sentencing of convicted kidnapper and rapist Ariel Castro that will prove he is a monster. Cuyahoga (ky-uh-HOH’-guh) County Prosecutor Tim McGinty says experts at Castro’s sentencing tomorrow sentencing will explain how he manipulated three women to keep them captive for a decade or longer. Castro pleaded guilty Friday to 937 counts of kidnapping, rape, assault and other charges in a deal that sends him to prison for life plus 1,000 years.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
